Tamsin awoke with Bo in the very early morning in the same position where they left off. The sun had still yet to rise. She was still enfolded in Bo's arms. Bo was stroking her back slowly though which told her Bo was already awake. She could tell Bo was thinking deeply about her or their relationship as a whole because every now and then she would feel Bo's embrace get tighter and then relent. At times it was punctuated by a kissed to the top of her head. For a split second she wanted to put up her walls but Bo was Bo. She communicated with her feelings. Tamsin on the other hand liked more logic. Feelings were just too cumbersome for her as that was her training. Feelings make you hesitate, second guess yourself, and it could possibly cost you your life. They made you weak or did they? Bo was a walking contradiction of that. Everyone, humans and Fae have a life, but few of them live it. Bo had a passion and zeal for everything she did and at times, it made her much stronger. Was it that same passion that gave Bo the ability to stop herself from feeding on Tamsin despite her needs as a succubus? Was it the same zeal that allowed Bo to transcend to be more than her species? From a Valkyrie point of view, Bo should be a weak Fae, but yet she was stronger than most, although she failed to realize that herself.
All this thought however was interrupted when Tamsin could hear Bo sniffling slightly and almost wrapping Tamsin into a bear hug. Why was she crying Tamsin wondered? It had to do with her, but she was now wasting tears over a fallen Valkyrie with a short self-life. It was probably the guilt again that Bo shared with Dyson Tamsin surmised. Shit. What can she say to that? Bo was carrying a cross that she refused to put down. That 'cross' was not even worth carrying from Tamsin's vantage point. Bo's breathing began to get unsteady and it was only getting worse. The reason became apparent when Bo whispered "I want to do what is right but all I'm good at is ruining relationships, screwing things up and wanton death and destruction usually follows". It became obvious that Bo was trying not to wake up Tamsin as she evened out her breathing the best she could. Wait Tamsin thought, that's my line oddly enough just maybe in reverse order of consequence. She saw Bo as perfect but yet had the same afflictions as the succubus? Tamsin felt a tear drop splash on the top of her head and then another as Bo held her tightly again and whispered into her ear with and unsteady voice "I did this to you. Please forgive me Tamsin, Valkyrie, 4th order, 1st division and 8th unit." Tamsin was immediately caught up in a whirl wind of unexpected emotions. Try as she might, she was not able to suppress it. It is easy not to show emotions when you were not attached to anyone. This was different. She had gotten so close to the succubus that she developed feelings for her and those feelings now had nowhere to hide. 'Funny you are the broken one, but I'm the one that needs saving' was the first thought. 'Forgiveness from me? I'm the last person you need to ask. Fuck, with all the wrongs I have done, I'm going straight to hell. Yet she earnestly thinks she is the one with blood on her hands. I've bathed in an ocean of it.' She brooded as she empathized with Bo. A sharp pain emanated from her heart as her eyes became watery. It came to a head when Bo remembered her exact designation within the sisterhood. She never told Bo and could only guess it came from Arin in passing. Bo was honoring her by acknowledging rank, service, valor, and legacy in Valhalla. As always Bo never treated her with any less respect on the contrary, it was more. At the same time, that statement cut her deep to her core. 4 1 8 was her entire identity as that was all she knew. She never wanted to think about her fallen status which essentially made her nothing more than a lowly human. The ones that almost all Fae including her despised. Here Bo was calling her by an official and formal designation as everyone else just used the shortcut 4 1 8. The last time she heard her official designation was when she was addressed by Odin himself.
Before Tamsin knew it, Bo froze and was holding her breath for a moment as well as her position with Tamsin as if something abruptly changed. Tamsin thought maybe she heard a sound of something suspicious and she froze as well to see if danger was near.
Bo thinking that Tamsin was sound asleep as she whispered her confession into her ear. So had no idea how to broach the topic with her but this was always weighing heavily on her heart. She told Arin and Dyson some pieces of how she felt thus far but never succinctly and never to Tamsin. Tamsin was her Valkyrie and she purposefully wanted to address her by her rank because despite her no longer having any of her powers, her best qualities about her was something no god could take away and it made her no less than someone from 4 1 8, it made her more. Her nobleness, intelligence, tenacity, bravery, fortitude, and sheer will power as well as her unsung qualities held in heart were qualities that came to mind. She began to reveal her love, compassion, empathy and the list was getting longer every time they met. It was not a matter of how powerful a Fae was, it was how they exercised their power. Tamsin, Bo mused, embodied courage as she was still unstoppable in the face of what seemed like insurmountable odds stacked against her and those odds were getting worse by the day as she was getting closer to expiring.
As hard and cold as Tamsin made herself out to be, Bo discovered that she was 'human' all along. It was contradictory and ironic that she felt everything even though she made it seem otherwise. Bo was crying again as she asked the sleeping Tamsin for her forgiveness. She did not want to wake her so she resorted to more deep breathing to calm herself down. Bo hugged Tamsin tightly again and came to a quick realization that drops of moisture were dripping on her chest at a rapid pace and they were coming from her Valkyrie. 'Shit! Tamsin was not sleeping! Oh I am so screwed now. Tamsin cry? I seem to have that fucking effect on Valkyries. Did I say something wrong?' Bo thought in panic. 'What the fuck do I do now? I can't just acknowledge it as it will make her feel uncomfortable' she thought strategically as she just froze.
Tamsin was still trying to get a grip on everything when she noticed that her own tear drops were rolling off her face onto Bo. That was why Bo froze. Tamsin guessed that Bo was trying to plot her next move after she spewed out everything to Tamsin all in a couple of sentences. Valkyries never cry. It made them weak and vulnerable. Tamsin especially never did in any of her life times. That was how she got to where she was in her former order. Why was she doing this now? A tremor swept across Tamsin as a single set of thoughts hit her with gale force. The pain in her heart exploded as she thought 'I have been so busy fulfilling my duties that I never had the chance to consider much less mourn the loss of my own status. *MY WHOLE IDENTITY*. 4 1 8. My existence. *Service to my god*. Like a coward *I ran away* from some of the hardest things I had to face. A Valkyrie without a god to serve means that I amount to a meandering nomad, a lost girl. I started with everything, and now I may expire with nothing at all.' The wave of grief over took her so quickly she had no time to prepare much less fend off its effects. Tamsin forcefully tucked her head in the crook of Bo's neck hiding her face as she pulled Bo into a very powerful, almost bone crushing hug. Tamsin's tears flowed like an open faucet but she did try to stop and control her erratic breathing and wails.
Bo could say nothing as Tamsin pulled her in close for a bear hug. She sensed an immense amount of pain radiating from the Valkyrie but did not know exactly why. Her shoulders, neck and sheets were getting drenched by Tamsin's heightened emotional state. Loud grunts and forceful exhales came from Tamsin for the first couple of minutes as if Bo was torturing her. Even through all this Tamsin was still trying to hold it together and be tough and strong. "It's ok Tammy, let it all out. No matter what, you are still my noble, valiant and courageous Valkyrie." Bo told her in a comforting tone stroking her back gently. Bo was relieved to some extent as Tamsin immediately released her crushing hug and just collapsed back down onto her. Her sobs and wails of remorse now flowed freely. Her breathing remained erratic, her body still trembled, and sounds of misery were now front and center but at least Tamsin 'let go'.
Tamsin hated being weak and it was bad enough she was crying for the first time in all her life times. Is this the price of intimacy with a succubus? How can she go back to her order knowing this? However, did it even matter at this point? Was she going back at all? Hearing Bo comfort her with such reassuring words helped her move forward as she felt assured that she was anything other than weak or pathetic. She just relaxed and let it all pass just this one time. One time felt humiliating enough.
Bo held her Valkyrie for an hour as she released her sorrow through her tears and whimpers. Bo guessed that Tamsin was releasing life times worth due to their intensity. Kenzi had even come up to make sure everything was ok. She probably could not tell who was crying and was worried. Before Kenzi entered into the room and Tamsin noticed her presence, Bo motioned her to leave which she did so efficiently and quietly. Tamsin cried herself to sleep in Bo's arms albeit still trembling with uneven breaths in fits and spurts.
What of the questions Tamsin had moments ago? They were all moot. None of them mattered in the context of serving Bo Dennis, the unaligned succubus.
Tamsin woke up feeling at peace for once. She felt like something had been lifted off her soul and did not know exactly why or how. It was as if she slayed one of her demons inside. 'Shit, I just cried myself to sleep and gave Bo a shower in the process. Fuck me' she thought. She sat up and saw Bo sleeping next to her in her naked reverie still but with a box of tissue which Tamsin could only assume that it was probably due to all the tears she shed. It made her blush as she observed that the trash can next to Bo's bed was full of them. 'This is going to be weird. Before Bo starts carrying more guilt for my condition I chose to freely accept, we need to talk. *AGAIN*.' Tamsin got up from the bed and proceeded to the shower. She took a long much needed hot shower and composed what she needed to say to Bo and how was she going to take on the topic of her 'release of pain' earlier.
Bo woke up and looked for Tamsin and when she was not next to her, she shot up and looked around in worry. What had she done wrong to push her Valkyrie away was a question that immediately popped in her head. Relief came as she heard her shower running. She then quickly got up and put on a robe and went down stairs. She fetched coffee and evaded Kenzi's plethora of questions as usual by stating that they could talk later. She got back up stairs and started to clean up the room as tissue was balled up everywhere and overflowing from her trash can. She set Tamsin's duffle bag on one of her tables and went into the bathroom and set down another robe and fresh towels. She then let Tamsin know without trying to undress her mentally through the shower curtains.
"Got it Succu….." Tamsin stated in a snarky fashion but forced herself to pause and reconsider. She smelled coffee, Bo was setting out towels and even a spare robe for her. All of which was nice but not necessary. It seemed to Tamsin that Bo wanted to appease her out of guilt. She thought it best to rephrase her response to something more soft, civilized and 'human'. 'Damn succubi and their emotions' she cursed internally. A moment later she corrected herself and said with sincerity "Thanks Bo".
Bo had just finished de-cluttering her room as Tamsin stepped out in only a towel. She grew hungry as she knew a very delicious Valkyrie lay just underneath but shook that thought off briskly. She did not know what to say or do with this tense moment.
Tamsin saw the succubus she knew well as her eyes flickered to blue while looking her up and down. But Bo managed to keep it under control. She could see Bo was hesitant on what to say and so was she actually. But after Bo's confession, she thought it better to lead instead. She walked over to Bo and took her by the hand, atypical for her, but she needed to get this over with to set the record straight and soon. She refused to run away from hard problems she was not ready to deal with anymore. She guided her over the bed and had her sit down. Tamsin sat down facing Bo with her right leg tucked underneath her left leg which remained hanging off the bed. Tamsin took a couple deep breaths and then said "Bo, there is nothing you did that requires my absolution. I did plenty of things in all my lifetimes to put myself here. If I could do it over again, the only thing I would have changed would be to trust you and be in your corner sooner. You have a good heart succubus and those things you listed and claimed to be good at, so *TOTALLY FALSE*. Let's just say you have yet to see a true pro like me at work baby Fae" Tamsin stated with a click looking into Bo's guilt laden expression. It had the desired effect as Bo's face lit back up again.
Bo reached out swiftly and hugged Tamsin with a smile as she whispered into her ear "Thanks Tam Tam." Bo backed up and kissed Tasmin on the cheek. Bo was happy that Tamsin at least did not put her walls back up especially after she balled her eyes out. Something had changed for the better however. Tamsin was no longer avoiding talks that had to do with feelings, she initiated it for the first time.
It was at that moment they both realized that even though they were totally different and opposite species, they tragically shared the same flaws as a result of their powers just in different proportions. They were both markedly broken and painfully flawed in the same way. If relationships required some common ground to flourish, were those negative traits a good foundation? Two wrongs don't make a right but for the Succubus and the Valkyrie, only time would tell if that saying held true.
Tamsin after a brief silence continued somewhat a little reserved , "Also, emmm, thanks for this morning. I underestimated my … 'human condition' …" She then put her classic snarky expression back on "It would have never happened if I were a *FULL* Valkyrie." she said scrunching up her face with a slight tilt.
Bo smirked as if to hold back a giggle. It was classically Tamsin to hide her weakness in some fashion or another which was at this point not only cute but almost humorous. "As far as I am concerned, your human condition only made you stronger." Bo let out sincerely "But I concur with you assessment as what else could it be?" She said formally in a rhetorical manner. Bo knew as well as Tamsin that it was just a smoke screen but Bo was sensitive to Tamsin's pride.
"Not a word to anyone or else I'll have to come back and kick your ass." Tamsin said pointing at Bo lazily with an empty threat.
"Or really" Bo mocked as she transitioned slowly to her laying on her bed stomach down. "What are you going to do, tie me up and *spank* me for telling everyone that I make my tough tough Valkyrie cry a river on a daily basis?" Bo then position her rear toward Tamsin's side jeering her to make move. "I'll have to let the whole sisterhood know. Now come to think of it, maybe I should pitch in there that I, a lover, dominated and made you, the tough as nails warrior, surrender to me all the time in bed, showers, going out and *everywhere else*." Bo looked at Tamsin's incredulous glare and half opened mouth then added the toping to the cake "Wave the white flag much Tammy?"
Tamsin recovered from the initial challenge Bo set forth. She could not believe Bo would even think that but she knew Bo's end game was a succubus booty call with her seductive moves but it could not happen and even if it did, it had to be on her terms. This was not going to happen. Tamsin then challenged Bo and then said "Nice try Succu-slut. You know there are times technology does come in handy." She said as she reached over to Bo's night stand and got her phone "I just have to hit one button on my phone to share with every one of your friends and some not such much pictures like this" she motioned to her phone as a picture of a stark naked Bo came up with a field fully clear cut checking her phone on a cot. This was obviously taken when they visited Tamsin's cargo container. "Oh look the share button." She mocked as she held her phone away from Bo as she contemplated whether her index finder should hit it. 'It would be hilarious if Bo had to explain that photo to Dyson, Laruen, her Grandfather, the Morrigan, and poor Kenzi might be scarred for life too.' She smiled wickedly as it would be the gift that keeps giving.
Bo was gob smacked at what she saw. She was unaware that Tamsin took that picture. Tamsin looked so close to sharing it that she just had to stop her. She got up at lightning speed and tried to grab the phone but Tamsin just stood up and held the phone up in the air locking the screen. Retrieving the phone was a challenge as Tamsin was tall then her. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts Bo made a decisive decision to grab onto Tamsin's towel wrapped around her body. It was easily pulled off but Tamsin showed no signs of being phased by her nudity. Tamsin just kept taunting Bo while evading all her attempts. Bo knew she was on the losing end as Tamsin started to do some of her judo moves to redirect Bo into several of her bedroom items such as lamps, dressers, her bed and any items in between making for a loud rucks which Kenzi could probably hear. Bo was determined to overpower this Valkyrie and bring her down a notch so she quickly grabbed her partially as Tamsin was deflecting her with only her right arm around her waist, but Bo in passing as she was being pushed off by Tamsin swept Tamsin's legs out from under her with her free leg. Bo smirked as Tamsin fell to the hard wood floor shaking the whole house as she professionally broke her fall.
***** ummm yea major *MAJOR* smutt alert .. hit the next chap button to avoid *****
Tamsin was fighting at a slight disadvantage as she was using her left hand to keep her phone away from Bo. But no matter, she was a fighter. She was impressed by Bo's sweep. For someone with almost no martial arts experience, she was a fast learner. Tamsin landed on the hard wood floor and rocked the whole house and then using her Brazilian Jujitsu moves to straddle Bo as she still held her phone high into the air. Bo just squirmed so much her robe was now fully open just being held on by her arms. Tamsin did not care but her body unknowingly began to react to Bo's state of undress. This was foreplay to a Valkyrie in a way.
Bo found that, try as she might, she could not move as much as Tamsin straddled her and was about to attempt a submission move. Bo noted her chest felt slick as Tamsin was mounted firmly on top of her. She thought it best at the time to switch tactics as she grabbed Tamsin's waist with one arm snaking securely around her and then taking 2 fingers of her other hand and without want warning, impaled Tamsin though her core with her thumb caressing her pearl as it went all the way in. "My my, you're so wet Tammy Fae. All this for me? Your shouldn't have." Bo purred as she smirked evilly as Tamsin collapsed her upright stance and came down on all fours with her elbows to the floor as an overwhelming pleasurable sensation surprised her. Now Tamsin's prominent and firm breasts were dangling just mere centimeters away from her face as she licked her lips at their marvel. She could tell Tamsin was trying to escape but she couldn't as Bo held her grip firm. All Tamsin could do was slide her phone across the room. "Let me show you *my* style of submission hold" Bo rasped out and she never miss a beat on bring Tamsin right to the edge of euphoria.
"Fuck you succubus! …. FUUUUUCK! No fair… AHHHHH!" Tamsin cursed herself for falling victim to the wiles of a succubus. Her mind was now only concerned with release and she wanted to say something else to stop Bo's onslaught, but try as she might she could only make squeals of joy mixed in with the occasional curse word at best. Tamsin refused to be tamed by a succubus and tried in one last attempt to change her position, but as she was executing, Bo pushed her over the edge. It only caused Tamsin to yell louder and curse as she collapsed on Bo as she released for the majority of the minute.
Bo beamed with satisfaction as she made Tamsin weaker and now she could move a little more. "Oh Tam Tam, that's *all* and sooo soon? Having performance issues?" she taunted the Valkyrie to which Tamsin hoarsely yelled "How dare you take a Valkyrie down like that you dirty little whore!" She knew Tamsin did not want to lose and admit that she was brought to peak so quickly. "Oh my apologies", Bo whispered into her ear at a very visibly weakened Tamsin "you mean like this?" As soon as Bo finished, she worked her finger back into Tamsin's core again to a different spot but also start to lick and nip her very full and prominent tips in front of her. "FUCK No Bo! This is soo wrong! We agreed to … SHIT!...LAURENNNNN! …. Bad *BAD* succubussssss….." Tamsin yelled out again at the top of her lungs. Bo was very composed as she took a break from her assault on Tamsin's mountain ranges and said, "You know that I call this hold?" She said as she worked a new spot within Tamsin. Tamsin just grunted and had no reply as she was brought to peak again even faster than the last time. Bo smiled again mischievously and whispered seductively, "I call this… 'pop goes the weasel'." Not a second later Tamsin started to beat the floor yelling more obscenities in her native Valkyrie tongue lashing out with hammer fists as hard as she could to punish the floor as she made Bo's chest very moist all of a sudden as she was pushed over the edge again. The house shook through all this. "And there it goes. Good girl, you play this game really well." Bo purred licked her fingers as she pulled it out of Tamsin's drenched core. "Do you give up my little slutty Valkyrie?
"Never…. You're not the only game in town that can do that succubus." Tamsin mumbled somewhat coherently clearing the fog in her mind. Tamsin worked all her life to be the best, but could not wrap her head around that the fact that she was now being dominated by Bo. She always had a chip on her shoulder that she could dominate Bo easily just like she did in the shower. She was not even using her succubus powers yet. Being forcefully shoved over the cliff of ecstasy a second time was making her lose her resolve. Each successive time it was a higher high. Give up? Never, she was going to push through this and get her way even if she had to resort to Bo's tactics. She as older and more experienced after all. She pushed Bo back down to the floor and shifted positions as she mounted Bo in a 69 position and worked her tongue and fingers on Bo's core furiously trying to get Bo to peak first.
"Hmmm this looks familiar " cooed Bo in the new position "I told you that the 69th is where I excel and… it's time to break in the new recruit" Bo licked Tamsin's core and sucked her pearl in the process. She under estimated the talent Tamsin had as she had some skills too but, not enough to outwit the succubus. "Tammy, remember when I told you I could, like a push of a button, use that spot on you more than once?" Bo questioned with a malevolent grin The response from Tamsin still working on Bo was a snarky laugh. Bo was near peak, but she just had to play catch up. 'The bigger they think they are, the harder the fall' Bo thought as she inserted her fingers into Tamsin's core again, and stimulating the same area she used the first time. "And …." Bo was reaching her own peak, but she was determined not reach that point before her Valkyrie "….. Pop goes the weasel!" Bo yelled just in time as Tamsin 'exploded' again seconds before Bo. Tamsin shuddered and beat the floor boards with her closed fists, some of which cracked. The house looked like it was going to cave in. If they had neighbors within a 5 block radius, they would have called the police by now.
"Mother Fracker! Not agaiiinnnn!" Tamsin shrieked as she was brought over her peak for the 3rd time thinking that she would win this time, but as fate had it, it was not to be true. Bo was just extremely talented and knew Tamsin's body all too well. Bo was brought to her peak too but only after she released first. She was experiencing the highest euphoric trance she had ever had. As she started to descend from her apex she pleaded and begged Bo almost unconsciously "No more. No more Bo please! I yield to thee my goddess! Please, please please" she mewed out. She never begged before, but today was yet another first. At least she did it to Bo and not to another adversary. She then dismounted and kissed Bo with passion in a way pleading with her to stop. Tamsin was surprised as Bo did not feed. She rolled off Bo as Bo finally released her iron grip and lay on the floor totally exhausted. Kenzi and heck even Dyson could have walked in right now and she still would not have cared to move or make any attempt to cover herself.
Bo was still coming down form her high that was induced by her Valkyrie. She was very hungry but she also had so much pent of passion for the blond, she just kind of went overboard she sheepishly thought. How the heck did this all get started Bo thought? Oh yea, an idle threat from Tamsin. Great. Nice way to stay to my word she thought again now feeling a little guilty. 'Shit, I probably just wounded Tamsin's pride too as I made her beg', she told herself now feeling even more guilty. Bo knew that while the sex was great, she needed to make some amends and feed, in that order. Bo reached up and pulled a pillow and sheets off of her bed. She helped Tamsin get her head under the pillow and draped a sheet over both of them and snuggled with her. Tamsin eyes were still glazed over and staring into space still obviously on that euphoric high.
"Tamsin" Bo stated to break her out of her trance "I… I'm really sorry. I don't know what came over me. You were trying to stop me and I didn't listen" Bo confessed sheepishly. "Can you forgive me again?" she asked wincing at Tamsin's possible answer.
Tamsin snapped out of her trance and looked at Bo lovingly. "Nothing to forgive succubus." She let out a small laugh, "I wanted this just as much as you did" she confessed. "Having the real things beats the picture I have of you any day." She said wearing a big grin.
"So you think about me that much?" Bo asked with surprise.
"Emmmm, yea, ummmm… about that.." Tamsin stuttered not wanting to look too needy. She did not know how exactly to put it ".. it kind of helps me get to sleep at times …" She look away from Bo embarrassed as her cheeks got a little redder. "Besides," she said turning he face back to Bo changing the topic, "I know you took one of me too at the same time but you did it first." Tamsin accused.
"HOW did you know?!" Bo backed up a little from Tamsin in awe of her skills.
"Duh hello? I am a detective…. With both the 39th and 69th?" Tamsin said with an eye roll.
Bo thought about Tamsin's statement about needing her picture to fall asleep. It was not just any picture, it was that particular one. 'She had been touching herself possibly every night thinking about me' Bo realized and was immensely flattered. She did not know Tamsin thought about her as much as she did. Bo just took her picture to remember that moment. She found it turned her on to see Tamsin all serious doing work in nothing but her birthday suit. "Tammy, you flatter me too much" Bo smiled and hugged her Valkyrie harder. "Glad I could be of service in a manner of speaking." She glibly said. She just lay there and chose drop the topic as she did not want to embarrass her anymore.
"No. You are right, I should just delete it." Tamsin said forcefully. "Besides, I don't want to make you feel that I am blackmailing you." Tamsin started to get up but her weak body was slow to respond. Bo just pulled her down back to the floor.
"No, don't. Beside I have the same type of picture of you. I think it's only fair. I kind of fancy you that way since I mentally did that to you the very first time we met." Bo confessed.
"Oh do all succubi only have a one track mind? Do you do this to everyone you meet Bo?" Tamsin huffed out a laugh looking up at the ceiling.
"No, just those I want. You were a challenge. You played a hot, very attractive, hard to get mega bitch. That's my kind of foreplay and me likey. And if me likey, me get. You had me right when you didn't even say hello." Bo murmured.
"So" Tamsin said signaling the change of topics, "We are obviously doing *so well* keeping things on ice." Tamsin stated with a sharp exhale combined with a laugh "I can see it now. 'Hi Lauren, come with me if you want to live. I am here to keep you safe and then unite you with Bo to stoke the flames of love and passion again. Oh yea, did I mention in your absence Bo held fast to the No-Dyson rule all for you? She is such a trooper as *she* was feeding off me with WHOLE time'" Tamsin scrunched her face up as she let out the sarcastic comment. "'Bo had to beg me to stop since even as a human, I was too much woman for her.' Yep succubus, that will go over *really* well. And once you pull Valkyrie chi, you won't want anything else but me." Tamsin said with an egotistic expression pretending to brush imaginary dust off her shoulder.
Bo knew that Tamsin was saying nicely that they should get back to the plan but showed no signs of anger, depression or jealousy. Why? Bo just laughed and smacked Tamsin's arm and teased "You realize that you are just pure unadulterated evil you know that?"
"*OH BELIEVE ME, I KNOW*" Tamsin sang out in response with a conceded expression. "And once you go dark…"
"Yea yea yea, you never go back" Bo laughed intentionally getting the rhyme wrong.
"*SWELL*. I'll have to write that rhyme down. Did you come up with that all by yourself? Try not to hurt yourself next time." Tamsin laughed in tandem with Bo as they hugged one other. Tamsin gave her a deep kiss seeing Bo's eyes were flicking blue.
Bo made sure to pull only a little bit of chi but Tamsin was right, her taste was a little addictive. They both proceeded to close their eyes again. 'What am I doing?' Bo questioned herself. As the days went by Tamsin not only showed Bo her heart and soul, but now Tamsin trusted Bo without question. Moreover, her proud and valiant Valkyrie started to lean on Bo more and more for both physical and emotional support. From the war stories that Tamsin told Bo, she was a loaner because of all the relationships she ruined and ultimately she at one point or another was let down by someone close. That was the reason why she was not even that close to her own sisterhood. She believed that in order to do something right, you had to do it yourself. A little help was ok but she always had a backup plan when the stuff hit the fan. Bo felt terrible. Tamsin was expiring and Bo had her heart now. This could end very badly for everyone. She felt selfish and she felt like a monster. Now she was on her way to ruining anything good she has with Tamsin due to her needs as a succubus. She just did not stick to the plan. A tear fell from Bo's eye as she lay with her Valkyrie.
Tamsin was almost asleep when she felt a tear drop hit her neck. Shit Bo is overthinking this again she concluded. Tamsin kind of guessed that it had to do with Bo's breaking away from the plan thereby possibly seriously jeopardizing their own "together" status. She brought Bo in for hug and she turned to her. She wiped away a tear drop from Bo's cheek who was looking away from Tamsin ashamed of her deed. She held Bo's chin lightly turning her to where they saw eye to eye. "Bo, I have been around a long time. Success in our lives is not measured on how many times we falter or fail, it is how many times we possess the bravery and courage to get back up and try again" Tamsin said sincerely and kissed Bo on the forehead. "Get up Bo. You are a goddess, daughter of Odin, a lover *and* a warrior. You can do this." Tamsin said in a reassuring tone.
Those sage words and encouragement immediately lifted Bo's spirits. Bo nodded with a sincere smile and without another word she rested her head on Tamsin's chest. She was still getting use to Tamsin being such a deep thinker but it made sense. It was time to get up and try again. Right before she drifted off to sleep behind Tamsin, and image of Tamsin's salute to her came to mind. 'Unconditional love' resonated in her head as sleep enveloped her.
