Kendra descended the curved stairs with a small skip in her step, to an awaiting Mia. As she approached, Kendra noticed Mia was shifting in place, ever so slightly. Kendra, and Mia, were both in all smiles, but they knew that the other was putting up a front.
Everyone else was mingling with one another, as it concerned Bo's decree. They were mixing in a little business with pleasure, but for Mia, and Kendra, it was all business.
Kendra saw how nervous Mia was, and stop dead 6 feet in front of her, and mentioned, "Just hear me out Mia. I'm not really good at apologies, and I don't even know if an apology will do anything to fix all the ways I screwed you over."
Mia interjected, "No Captain ….."
"Please DON'T call me that," Kendra brought her hand up, to stop her from continuing, "Just call me Kendra, title's, and all those formalities BS, is getting in the way of us communicating. Can we just… just drop these charades…. be honest with one another, and keep it between us only? I am willing to do that. Can we talk as friends do, please?"
Mia nodded hesitantly, since Kendra was asking them to do something that was uncharacteristic; as it concerned their somewhat broken, and trepid friendship.
Then it occurred to Mia, about HOW honest they were going to be with one another? Her emotions went to the extreme. On one hand she wanted to hold Kendra in her arms, and the other wanted to slap the crap out of her, for all the ways she was put down.
Mia bit her bottom lip as she thought, 'Do I tell her that I want her as more than a friend? How do I put all the baggage behind us?'
Kendra could see Mia deep in thought, and decided a joke will release a little of the tension, everyone no doubt could see, "I assure you, I am unarmed. Cuff me if you like."
Mia's jaw went slightly slack, and her mind immediately went into the gutter, imaging all the depraved sexual fantasies she'd been consistently cresting to all these years.
Kendra observed Mia relax her stance, and put on an almost mischievous smirk. It was the effect she was looking for.
Mia just sparred back, and offered, "Cuffs? Maybe later. I know a place in Lauren's back kitchen that has a small table for the chefs, and its right next to the alcohol storage room."
It didn't take them long to set up, and get the shots pouring.
At first Kendra, and Mia talked about things that had nothing to do with them.
"Yea, in just a couple of sentences, Kara became Carrot Top's... Jason's new girlfriend. Jason is never gun shy about anything, until it comes to relationships. Then he avoids labels like the plague. Had to give it to Kara, she was blunt, and smooth, but said all the right things to him," Kendra reminisced, taking a shot.
"Wow, the last line that someone used on, me was horrible. You know the hot-shot, rookie of the year, James O'Connor?" Mia asked smirking, slamming her shot glass down.
"WAIT. Private O'Connor, now Sergeant, with the 85th?" Kendra blurted forth.
"Yep," Mia tightly smirked. "Do you think he's hot?"
"God," Mia confessed, doing an eye roll, "He is handsome, skilled, and built like a brick house, but reminds me of Gaston from the Beauty and the Beast. His cocky attitude is a turn off for me. Big time."
"Agreed. Well his line was….," Mia paused, "Here lemme try it on you."
Mia took in a deep breath, and did her best baritone voice, "Hey Captain, Are you tired?"
Kendra smirked at Mia, scrunching her shoulders up to act like him, mimicking his voice.
Kendra just replied, simply batting her eyes to stay in character, "No, Why do you ask?"
Mia then delivered perfectly, still in character, "Because, you've been running through my mind ALL day!"
Kendra, and Mia busted out laughing.
Kendra put her hand on top of Mia's briefly. It wasn't really on impulse, but it was needed.
Mia never saw the fun side of Kendra before, and the more, and more she talked, the more enamored, and drawn she was to her. The Kendra of her dreams wasn't even that fun.
Kendra finally added, "James doesn't seem to show any interest in you."
"Well I dumped him early, so now he had to save face. If you ask him, he probably denies he ever liked me, or used that line on me for that matter," Mia clarified, and then asked somewhat mischievously to test Kendra, "So be honest, would that line work on you?"
Kendra filled up the shot glasses for them both, and then relayed innocently, knowing the meaning Mia was trying to convey, "It depends who's staying it."
Mia paused, and didn't know what to say. She wanted to say 'Me' but then that might ruin everything they are trying to build. It would also make their relationship awkward.
Kendra felt the tenseness, and just added, "Well if Dyson pulled that on me, it would only work if we were good friends already."
Mia then divulged without thinking, "Are we?"
'HOLY SHIT!' Mia thought, mentally smacking herself stupid. 'I just fucking gave her a veiled pickup line! She's with DYSON. Efff me!' Mia drank her shot, and held her relaxed posture, and poker face.
Kendra, knowing how Mia felt about her, just took it in stride, and put her hand on Mia's arm, and solemnly stated, "I'm trying, if you let me."
Mia turned to gaze at Kendra's touch. She wanted the same, but she also wanted a little more. She knew to tread carefully, since Kendra was already taken. After all of Mia's failed romantic relationships, Kendra wasn't going to be next. Her romantic relationships with others only lasted less than a year.
What did that mean to Mia? She had to keep her hormones on check. Keep her as a life-long friend at best, it was the only thing she could do to keep Kendra in her life.
Kendra continued, knowing that she got her attention, looking away ashamed of herself, "I fucked up Mia. I tailed you, and blindly followed what Henry Jackson of IA, and his team told me. Both lined up, so I just assumed you were a dirty cop on the payroll. Then when you contacted me, I obeyed my orders to not contact you since you were under investigation. And… SHIT… Mia, I just kept the view IA gave me, even after the investigation was over."
Mia tried to keep a serious face, and hate Kendra for what she did to her, but found that Kendra was soo sincere, she could not help but well up a little. Kendra was never known to apologize much, if at all. To hear Kendra even acknowledge she was wrong, was moving in itself. At this point, no apology was really necessary.
Kendra paused, and just let it all out finally locking onto Mia watery eyes, "Look, I thought you slept your way to the top based on that twisted view I had to you. I … I even planned to show you up at one of your competitions, but then I got caught up on work. Look, I deserved that smack you gave me earlier, and probably much, much more. I don't expect you to forgive me, but I am asking…. Asking if we can start over fresh."
Mia, try as she might, couldn't hold the torrents of emotions that were welling up inside of her. She was speechless, as several tears streaked down her face. Mia was so accustom to being slandered by many, that she had grown such a thick skin because of it. Kendra, however, was one of her harshest critics. What made Kendra's actions so hurtful, more so than others, was the sheer fact that she was her equal. Kendra was a woman in the same field, so to her, and the rest of the community. Her opinion mattered.
Kendra knew this was a tense situation, and didn't know what to do, since Mia was trying her hardest to hold a stoic expression, even though tears were streaking down her face.
Mia needed a hug, Kendra mused, but would she let her? Mia could hate her guts right now.
Kendra found it best to ask in a soothing concerned tone, "Can I hold you?"
Mia was hurt, and felt tortured by Kendra's consistent comments in the past, and it was all coming back to her with force. She didn't want to show she was a push over either to her bully, but threw caution to the wind.
Mia quickly nodded, and Kendra came to her side, knelt before her, then brought her into a slow embrace.
It was then, that all the pain from the past came due in full. All the pricks, and stings from even single comment Kendra had made against her, slammed into her at full force.
Mia never realized how much Kendra hurt her, but she held her tightly in a vicelike grip, deathly scared of being in such a vulnerable state.
Kendra now realized, how much her comments hurt Mia. She just assumed that her words meant nothing, since Mia always seemed to keep her cool. Words, Kendra surmised, hurt sometimes more than physical pain. Physical pain heals, and goes away, but some words cut deeper, and may never heal.
All Kendra could do was let it pass, stroking Mia's back, telling her how sorry she was.
Tamsin kissed Bo, who was leaning against the railing at top of the steps, and murmured in an aloof manner, "Wow Bo, that was such a moving speech. It even made me believe…. For a couple of seconds."
Bo smirked during the kiss, as they parted, a small wisp of chi came from Tamsin. She wasn't hungry, but Kendra really did turn her libido on. Bo, even though not hungry, loved sampling Tamsin. Her taste was extremely addictive.
"Coming from you, the jaded Valkyrie," Bo mentioned in a sultry voice, "THAT is a huge compliment."
Tamsin then followed up, huffing out a laugh, "Yea, it's the same feeling I get when I get duped into attending multi-level marketing, or pyramid scams. Are you going to ask for my credit card now?"
Bo slid her hands down on Tamsin's back side, and slithered her fingers in her back pocket.
"Nothing there Bo," Tamsin rolled her eyes, but realized that Bo's eyes were blue. "Did you feed from Kendra?"
"A little," Bo mentioned, in a sultry voice snaking her hands under the hem of Tamsin's top.
"So that means you're still fully fed between me, and her," Tamsin backed up, looking at Bo curiously.
"Yea, so?" Bo replied with an evil smirk washed across her face, as her hand found the buckle of Tamsin's bra on her back, and her other, just submerged stealthily, under the front of her tight jeans.
"Boooo," Tamsin growled, "You don't need to feed, so WHY are you…. GET your hand off my clasp (SNAP!). FUCK! And what is your hand doing in my jeans (pop!). OH shit… you stop this now, or ELSE…. (ZIP!)"
Bo quickly, in a husky voice ordered, "What's the matter my ANGELIC DEMON? Oh, and don't you DARE resist, or fix yourself up until I say so."
Tamsin realized that Bo used the key words to submit, but didn't want to. Not now, when people were still talking below, and Kenzi, and Hale were still a little farther off at the top of the steps with them.
Tamsin yanked Bo's hand out surreptitiously, and zipped her jeans up, re-buttoning them.
Bo smiled innocently, like she knew something that Tamsin didn't.
Tamsin then felt herself unsnap her jeans, and unzip her pants against her own will. Try as she might, her hands kept undoing her jeans. Then she realized as Bo moved her panties aside, and slid her fingers up and down her sex, that the thrall was controlling her.
"You… YOU… YOU…. are going to PAY Bo, for using the thrall against me," Tamsin cursed in a low growl.
Bo just pouted innocently with puppy dog eyes, "But I want you now 'cus I can't wait til our wedding night. Please?"
"Gods Bo," Tamsin huffed out a laugh, "we've eff'ed like rabbits so many times today … and… ohhhh gods!"
Bo used a little of her charms, then asked, raising her brow, "So this is not your cup of tea?"
Tamsin knew the thrall would force her to tell the truth but it didn't matter, she planned to in the first place, "No Bo, it isn't. Not in front of family. I'm not a succubus, darnit."
Bo pinched her arch gently and asked, "OK. Can I lap you in wanton delight tonight, and through the morning? Just you, and I?"
"Yes," Tamsin said in a shaky voice, being held hostage through Bo's succubus moves.
Bo knew she was telling the truth, and immediately made her Valkyrie presentable. "Sorry TamTam. I got carried away. Please do as you will," Bo then pecked her on the cheek. "Tonight then?"
Tamsin then put the puzzle pieces together, clearing the cobwebs from her mind. "Booooo," Tamsin warned, "Did you pull this stunt off, to get me to allow you to take me all through the night?"
Bo put on the best angelic expression she could, and shrugged.
"OH MY GODS Bo. You are IMPOSSIBLE! Do you realize you are fucking around with a harbinger of death!" Tamsin admonished, "Don't ever, ever, EVER mess with a Valkyrie!"
"I like fucking around," Bo laughed. "Especially with you."
Tamsin hugged her from behind in faux caring, with Bo overlooking the social scene below them.
Tamsin nibbled on Bo's ear, and huskily whispered, "This was not my cup of tea, but it IS yours."
Bo just shrugged, "You don't know me that well, Valkyrie."
"Oh yea?" Tamsin challenged, sliding her hand into Bo's front pocket.
Kenzi, with a minor skip in her step, and Hale, walked over to them; while Tamsin transitioned to holding Bo beside her, with her arm around her. Tamsin's hand was still tucked in Bo's pocket, in a lazy fashion.
From the looks of Kenzi's huge smile, and the fact she was quivering with excitement, Bo and Tamsin knew she was about to spew forth a ton of words.
Tamsin backed up ever so slightly, but with Bo's pockets being deep, she slowly began to stroke Bo's inner thigh. It didn't go far enough to reach her temple, but it was close enough.
Hale smiled at the couple, and greeted them, "Hey, My congratulations to the lovely new couple."
Bo realized what Tamsin was doing, but held her poker face gleefully, replying, "Thanks Hale, and I hear from Kenzi that you 2 are engaged."
Kenzi immediately hopped in front of Hale, and held Bo by her shoulders. "The wedding is in 3 months! Can you believe it!?"
Bo shared in her happiness by hugging Kenzi, even with the Russian hopping up, and down, "Oh wow! That's so wonderful! I am so happy for the both of you."
Tamsin just rolled her eyes, and as if Bo had eyes behind her head, nudged her with an elbow to share in the joyous moment.
Tamsin growled very lowly so that Bo, who was against her, knew how she didn't like participating, but finally cheerily comments, "Congratulations to the both of you. I sooooo look forward to the wedding. OPEN BAR right?" Tamsin shot a glance at Hale, who just nodded, and said with a grin, "But of course."
Tamsin realized that Bo, and Kenzi, were talking in the hug too; and heard Kenzi right as she backed away from the hug a little, ask Bo, "Please please please, As my BFF, and sister, be my Maid of Honor."
"Yes!" Bo exclaimed hopping up, and down in sync with Kenzi. Tamsin just rolled her eyes in annoyance, but realized that Bo's pocket felt like it had a very small hole, which she could make bigger.
"I'm really, really happy," Tamsin smirked mischievously, with her finger successfully piercing a hole in Bo's front, right pocket. This was too good to be true, and Tamsin's index finger, slithered surreptitiously, to its final destination over her clear cut field.
'OMG' Bo thought, almost frozen at what to do. She nudged Tamsin to release her, with her back side, but Tamsin brought her other arm around Bo, to secure herself to her. There was no escape.
Tamsin knew she had Bo right where she wanted her, and just asked innocently to Kenzi, and Hale, "Soooo you got your wedding attire planned?" To punish Bo, her finger wagged back, and forth, ringing her shrouded bell at the top of her arch.
Kenzi was more than happy to describe her dress.
Bo zoned out, and looked over to Tamsin, kissing her, then growling, "Tamtam. BAD girl. Don't make me use the thrall against you."
Tamsin just huffed out a laugh, nodding to Kenzi, "Good choice. Love it. Tell us more." She then whispered to Bo, "This is a first, the marriage of dark, and unaligned. You can be Ada, and I am EVIL, live with it."
Bo growled at her, but ended up feeding, and kissing, after a short chirp at Tamsin's 'evil' move.
Tamsin loved how she could control Bo; who was really turned on by this, thrusting her finger into her sex quickly, to show dominance.
Bo sheepishly turned forward to the happy couple, and asked, "So Hale, got the honeymoon planned?" Beyond that, she could not concentrate on what he said, as Tamsin ran her finger between her legs, running the length of her extremely moist folds. Tamsin was owning her in front of Hale, and Kenzi, and oddly it kept turning her on more. The possibility of getting caught by her BFF, and Hale, just amplified her need to crest. She just kept up appearances the best she could with Tamsin behind her.
Tamsin upped the ante, and kissed her neck gently bring Bo to the precipice.
"Awwww. Big Island tours, and horseback riding? That's great. What about parasailing?" Tamsin requested, and knew Bo was ready to release, since she was trebling. Also, she felt via the bond, Bo was ready.
Bo was lost in lust, and Tamsin started to slow down, pulling her back to reality. Bo turned her head, and growled, "I can thrall you right here, and make you make a mess in your pants, you BAD, BAD Valkryie."
Tamsin just pretended to nod at Hale, and Kenzi, deciding about parasailing, and whispered back, "you do, and I will rip all your clothes off in front of EVERYONE. TRY ME. God, what will your grandfather say?"
"You … you… you are …. EVIL….. god.. PURE EVIL…. You will pay," Bo forced out in a soft grunt, with Tamsin bringing her to the edge again.
Bo was trying her hardest to control her eyes from turning bright blue.
Kenzi, and Hale finally agreed to try parasailing, and Kenzi then asked Bo, "Hey Bo bear, as Arin's mom, can she be our flower girl?"
Tamsin growled, to which Bo nudged her, and as an act of retaliation, Tamsin's middle finger pierced the pocket and flew deep into Bo's canal. There they stayed, to show her disagreement, and to hold Bo hostage to her crest; and to Tamsin's thigh as well.
Bo had a hard time thinking, and just told Tamsin, "Come on Tammy, let Arin do this. I know it had nothing to do with kicking ass but it would mean a lot for her family."
Tamsin's fingers began to curl viciously, as she looked up to think about it.
Bo was about to crest in front of everyone, and she couldn't stop it. Tamsin knew her too well.
"Ok I suppose so," Tamsin smirked, and glanced at Bo looking at her with blue eyes, away from Hale, and Kenzi. Tamsin then, in a hushed voice ordered, "Don't you dare come Bo until I say so, or you'll make me MAD. You don't like an unhappy Valkyrie."
"Thanks Tamtam, Your just, and angel," Bo concluded kissing Tamsin, doing her best to keep her eyes blue, and turned to smirk at the couple.
"OK," Kenzi stated, knowing the deep kissing meant time to go. Also, there was something odd about Bo. She looked like she, every now, and then, is covering up, that maybe she was in the heat of passion.
"Later! Let's go, and plan this sucker out!" Kenzi pulled Hale with her, down the steps.
Tamsin growled, "I am EVIL, and DON'T come." Tamsin pushed all the right buttons, and increased that pace pushing Bo against the railing for all to see.
Bo closed her eyes, with Tamsin sliding a hand secretly under her shirt, pulling her bra up. Bo was helpless, and right before she crested, Tamsin, unbeknownst to Bo, spun her, moving her back, mostly out of view of the guests on the lower level, towards the back wall.
Tamsin, in a husky voice, rolling Bo's tip, and going full speed, ordered again, "No coming SLUT, or else everyone will see how much I OWN you. BAD, BAD succubus!"
Bo clapped her hand over her own mouth, like she was covering a yawn, but really, she was trying not to yell. She was lost in the throes of sweet, tortuous, pleasure. Bo clapped her eyes shut even harder, knowing that she was coming in front of everyone. She didn't want to, but at the same time, Tamsin was fulfilling her most depraved fantasy.
She was mind wiped, as Tamsin in a domineering tone, demanded to know, "Do you reach the stars Bo!"
Bo shook her head, and the next wave of guilt, and pleasure hit her.
"Don't lie to me. STOP IT… now," Tamsin ordered, but her fingers were working Bo to new heights.
Bo held back, but it was fruitless against Tamsin's onslaught. So she just kept going, holding back her moans of pleasure, which oddly kept her at her high.
"BAD succubus. You came! Now time to get punished. Wait till I show EVERYONE what a bad girl you are," Tamsin growled, pulling her back even further, into a hall out of sight of everyone, but Bo didn't know since she was keeping her eye's closed.
The embarrassment Bo was experiencing, was keeping her aroused, and it was then, she felt Tamsin's dagger playfully resting on her neck.
"Bad Bo, Don't move, or else you will get cut," Tamsin warned.
Bo was coming down, and before she could process what Tamsin was doing, she felt a cold breeze on her now bare chest. Tamsin adroitly cut open her top, and bra at the same time, in a flash.
"No…." Bo squeaked, submitting to her Valkyrie, thinking she was being stripped in front of everyone, but this action alone kept her from descending, riding the last juicy bits of depraved pleasure.
Bo finally made it back down to earth, right as Tamsin pulled Bo's leather pants off of her thighs.
Tamsin, with a smirk, told Bo playfully, putting away her dagger, and dropping Destiny onto the pile of clothing now shed.
"God damn Bo…. Good thing you're wearing leather pants. Are you getting your boots all wet?"
Bo covered her mounds, not knowing whether to kiss, or smack Tamsin. Maybe both, for exposing her like that to everyone.
She slid a hand down, to cover her very cold, exposed sex, but when she did, she couldn't help but to moan in pleasure.
Slowly Bo's eyes batted open, to an empty hallway.
Bo turned around, and looked at Tamsin confused… "Huh?"
Tamsin smirked maniacally, and shrugged, "You closed your eyes, so I moved you into the side hall. It was then, that I stripped you."
Bo felt the redness in her face fade, and she brought Tamsin into a kiss, cooing, "Tamsin. You're both good, and evil. ….. I LOVE that about you. Thank you my evil angel. Hey, How'd you know I fantasized about this?"
Tasmin smirked with a click, "Among other things, it just seemed right."
Bo laughed, and purred, buttoning her pants back up, "Thanks for helping me keep my good girl cover, my evil Valkyrie."
Tamsin just huffed out a laugh, and rolled her eyes. She loved it when Bo told her how deliciously evil she was. "Don't thank me yet, your room is on the other side of the open mezzanine. Care to flash anyone… well everyone?"
Bo frowned, then pouted, "Well, you can give me your blouse."
Tamsin laughed, "And leave me in only a bra? Tell you what, wait here, and I'll get you something slutty to dress in."
It was then Lauren emerged from the top of the steps, and approached them. She kept a poker face, smiling tightly.
"Hi Lauren," Bo said, dropping her hands, and pretending nothing was wrong, Tamsin just waved.
"So, that is where you two went," Lauren tilted her head briefly, admiring Bo's assets. "People were beginning to wonder where you went. I can tell you were in dispose… well at least your top was."
Bo saw her aura spike, in addition to making a funny joke, and just held back a snicker. "Both actually, it's a little chilly up here, can you spare your lab coat babe?"
Tamsin growled slightly, at the babe comment.
Bo loved to push Tamsin's buttons.
"Oh," Lauren said, snapping out of her trance, pulling off her white lab coat.
"Thanks Lauren," Bo mentioned, feeding her arms into it since Lauren held it out for her. "You're always so good to me."
Tamsin just huffed out a laugh, and rolled her eyes, "ENOUGH. Do you two need some alone time? Gods. GET a room already."
"Really, what makes you say that? I was just being nice," Bo quipped to her Valkyrie.
Lauren just looked on, slack jawed at this exchange.
"Succubi, and their hormones," Tamsin shook her head performing and eye roll.
Bo just laughed, and kissed the frustrated Valkyrie on the cheek, and challenged, "You MARRIED one, don't you remember Ms. Short term memory? Why? Are you jealous that I might make out with her?"
"SOMETIMES I wonder, but Nope," Tamsin clicked. "Just be careful not to pull too much chi from her or you might…. Wait... on second thought…."
Lauren chuckled, "Tamsin, you are definitely dark."
"Yep," Tamsin glowed at the comment.
"In any case, we have some guests coming in for the tribunal tomorrow, so it is best to get dressed Bo," Lauren noted, flicking the lapel on her lab coat, now on Bo.
"Awwwww, but we want everyone to know that Bo, THE SUCCU-SLUT, kicked some serious Aswang ass," Tamsin smirked, with hint of evil.
"That was Kendra's, and Dyson's doing, we just mopped up remember?" Bo corrected, glancing to the Valkyrie.
"ANNNNNND Bo," Tamsin requested, "Are we still going to Valhalla tomorrow to see Daddy Dearest; where Death awaits us, probably at the end of Thor's hammer?"
"Oh Thor is going to be there?" Lauren tilted her head, not knowing this information.
"I told you my mind was made up Tamsin. I need to change fate, and I need my dad's help. We leave tomorrow evening," Bo stated, turning to her Valkyrie.
Tamsin pouted, since she already warned her, but finally gave up, and stated, "You need to feed Bo, if you plan on MAYBE going against Thor, and wow… look…. GUESTS are coming, which equals LOTS of powerful chi."
"We are not there to start a fight Tamsin," Bo stated, sternly.
"Well," Tamsin retorted, executing an eye roll, "WE won't; Freya, and Odin won't, but Thor? Absolutely, maybe for sure…. YES."
Lauren cut in, "Bo, Thor is known to be a loose cannon, and doesn't take to well to women in general, much less women, authority figures. I'd…. avoid him Bo… well both of you."
"Thanks sis!" Tamsin smirked, with an 'I told you so look' towards Bo. "I told you it can wait a couple weeks. After that, Thor will be gone, and daddy will be all yours."
Bo backed up a little, to stare both of them down, to a small extent, and justified, "I need action NOW, against this Sea of Fae premonition. 2 weeks may be too late. Besides Thor is family."
"AND families FIGHT Bo!" Tamsin huffed out, flustered. "Did you consider that I have to DEFEND you?! It's all so easy to go about it in your gun hoe ways, but THINK Bo. You are my bonded partner. I go where you go, but dammit. I just wish you thought about us."
Bo paused. Tamsin was right. For a Valkyrie, Tamsin acted awfully human, and knew more about love than most. There had to be a middle ground.
Lauren backed up. Bo, and Tamsin were having an argument, and she didn't really want to insert herself, but Bo just mentioned to her, "Lauren, can you stay for a minute."
Bo smiled, went face to face with Tamsin, and held her hands. In the most loving tone she could muster, she asked, "I can't run away from everything Tamsin. WE can't. We can't wait for the stars to align before we make our moves. Sometimes we play the hand we are dealt… BUT we have to play it smartly. Tammy, I really want to go tomorrow. All the prophesies point to us being in big trouble at the sea of Fae….."
Tamsin got mad, and erupted agitatedly, walking further down the hall; turning around, "No Bo. You ASSUMED I was there. I know those prophesies too! For all I know I died at the fucking end of THOR'S hammer! SHIT. You are impossible Bo! Now you'll just go without me. I will not be coddled like a child, or like I'm made of fucking glass. We both go. PERIOD. But do it as you say smartly. We've been running on LUCK so far Bo. LUCK runs out."
Bo brought her hands up in front of Tamsin, to calm her down. This was probably the first major fight that they had, and she knew that Tamsin, in a round-about, was scared to lose her life senselessly, when a little more prudence could avoid it.
Bo finally confessed, "OK Tamsin. Is it in your mind way too risky to go to Valhalla tomorrow?"
Tamsin thought about it, but it was Lauren that asked.
"So tomorrow is when Thor is slated to return from battle?" Lauren queried.
"Yes," Tamsin noted, "but he is returning from a post war celebration, or celebrations, most likely which means, more often than not, he…."
"he's late." Both Lauren, and Tamsin mentioned, in unison.
"So the best time to go is now," Lauren concluded.
"Yea, but Bo needs to feed from a DIVERSE set of chi to reach maximum power. She been trying to feed solely off of me," Tamsin revealed.
Lauren looked over to Bo, and Bo just nodded hesitantly.
"So going tomorrow is ok, so long as Bo is fully fed, from multiple, powerful Fae hosts?" Lauren concluded.
There was a silence, and Tamsin finally approached Bo, who looked down in shame.
Bo only wanted Tamsin, but she was a succubus. She hated to sleep around. She realized that Tamsin hugged her, and kissed her forehead.
"You need to FEED Bo, and now that guests are coming, it's the perfect time," Tamsin admitted.
Tamsin could feel Bo's resentment to being a succubus through the link, she then stated, "I think Lauren will agree that you need to feed from others. I love you, you have my heart, and I have yours. I don't see you any less of a person for needing to feed, which equates to breathing for feeble humans. Please do this for me, and then we can go kick some ass tomorrow ok?"
Bo still looked dejected, and finally mentioned, "I can do that, but what about you? Can we lift the thrall now?"
"NO." Tamsin stated sternly. "It gives me a level head against my overwhelming emotions. If Thor even insults you without me being in a thrall, he may be dead by my hands, and your dad won't like that. Also, it is the thrall that keeps my word to treat Lauren like a sister."
Bo didn't know what to say, and she was running out of ideas.
Tamsin comforted her, and mentioned, "There is a rebirthing chamber, and temple in Valhalla that was constructed for the return of the Missing Valkyrie."
Lauren expounded, "That's right! You ARE the Missing Valkyrie, so therefore all the enchanted armor, and weapons in there are at YOUR disposal."
"That's right," Tamsin clicked, as Bo finally began to smile again, and see her eye to eye. "All of it is mine, so Thor better think twice about picking a fight with me."
BO snickered, and solemnly requested, "OK I'll feed Tamsin, please forgive me?"
"Nothing to forgive Bo. You're buffing up to keep us safe. So it would make me feel so much better if you do feed," Tamsin noted.
Bo brought her lover into a deep kiss that lasted minutes, but Lauren had to take her leave, since Drake called out for her.
Mia was mentally, and emotionally exhausted; most of the hurt, and pain that Kendra caused her was lifted from her soul. She felt light, and free, as Kendra stayed with her, in the hug.
Mia had no idea Kendra's touch was that powerful, and in no way did she expect to break down like that in front of her. She also had no idea that Kendra's Australian accent, was so damn attractive.
All Kendra did was hold her tightly, and say she was sorry for treating her with such disregard. At least Mia didn't try to go head, to head, with her, which could have happened. Sure Kendra knew that she could probably disarm Mia, but to what end? It would only serve to escalate tensions, also Mia was the women's lightweight, MMA champion, and Mia, might actually have an edge on her in hand, to hand combat. Kendra never tested it. MMA, and street fighting were close cousins, unlike other martial arts, but even then, they were slightly different. Kendra deduced that she may find out one day what Mia was made of, beyond all the hi-tech gear, she always had on her.
Mia finally broke the hug, and quickly wiped her eyes dry, with her sleeves.
"I'm sorry Kendra. I… I didn't know …" Mia stammered out embarrassed, and red faced.
"Don't apologize Mia. It's ok. That's what friends are for," Kendra smiled. "Hey. People will be arriving for the tribunal soon, and before another fight breaks out stemming from my presence, can we get out of here?"
Mia was flattered that Kendra called her a friend, at least her harshest critic, was now solidly in her corner.
Mia nodded; both standing up, and straightening themselves out.
Dyson roamed back into the room in time to leave.
Kendra, and Mia, took the back stairs to their rooms.
Mia already packed her car, and was ready to go, and Kendra had her bags packed still in her room.
Kendra pulled out her Glock, and backup weapons, and mounted them on her person.
While Kendra was doing so, she mentioned to Mia, who was kneeling down, and petting Dyson, "Mia, rather than getting you a sterile apartment for your stay in the 39th, you can stay at Dyson's place. It's a larger, open design, with all the bachelor pad amenities."
Mia replied in kind, "It's not necessary. I am sure your ash provided excellent accommodations."
"No, please. You are my guest. Besides, it's almost walking distance to the precinct. I insist," Kendra replied hoisting a heavy duffel bag over her shoulder.
Mia didn't argue.
Kendra, and Mia bid the gang farewell, and left for Dyson's place.
Kendra drove her own SUV, and Mia followed behind her.
Dyson was in the back seat, lying down.
"Hey Dyson, I know this will be weird, but I offered Mia our flat … crap your flat… since I know all the other places that Hale would have, are a good distance away. Besides, I think she might like your punching bag," Kendra spoke loudly, so that Dyson could hear her.
Dyson just did a little bark.
"Dyson, I have no idea how much you understand, but god I hope you don't kill me when you find out. I…. I need options as it pertains to Mia. Not to say that I will go through with it, but better to have options, and not need it, than the reverse….. CRAP…" Kendra just gave up, and put it bluntly.
"Dyson, There is a CHANCE that I may SLEEP with Mia, OK? I know Bo is all ok with anything that has to deal with her feet leaving the ground … crap… having lots sex with lots of other people, BUT I feel really guilty for even considering it. I have no idea how I would respond if Mia wants to make love to me. I… I don't know if I could since … I'm NOT Bo or Tamsin…. I'm not bisexual. I'm your life mate and I am still trying to find that boundary on what action constitutes cheating on you. Not like I can ask you right now." Kendra let out, frustrated.
Kendra looked at Dyson briefly; he was attentive, and wagged his tail slowly.
"I took so much from her Dyson. I need to give back, even if it means that I need to swallow my pride, and be more submissive," Kendra stated, looking forward again.
Dyson did a single bark, softly.
"Dammit Dyson, I hope that is a bark of agreement," Kendra shook her head.
Dyson then did another single, soft bark.
Kendra then mentioned somewhat off topic, "Yea…. I should have learned that lesson about giving, a long time ago with you. I was always in control, and a leech. It's just so messed up that I learn this lesson now, and I am giving a part of myself to Mia, when it should be you."
Dyson hopped up to the front seat, and rested his head on the console, looking up at her with puppy dog eyes, as if he empathized with her.
Kendra laughed, "Wow, now I know where Bo gets that look. Thanks for just being you."
Kendra pet Dyson for the long journey home. Not only did she have to transfer duties to Mia, but she needed to pack for a long hike.
It was Lauren's recommendation, that Dyson needed to be outdoors to recover faster. That, in combination with him taking his weekly injections. Kendra surmised now, that she was backing away from her duties, to take some time off to hike the International Trail. This trail took upwards of 4 months to complete from start, to finish. Kendra was not really an outdoors type person, but for Dyson, she would learn how to back pack for his sake.
In Kendra's own way, she was now giving back to Dyson.
Mia felt free again, and she had Kendra to thank for it.
Was she still mad at Kendra?
No, not anymore, she was just happy to be able to spend time with her.
It was then her phone rang.
It was Grizzal, her god-father.
Mia put it on speaker and said, "Hey dad."
"Hey Mia. Have you left Doctor Lewis's place yet?"
"Yep, following Kendra to her place in the 39th," Mia clarified.
There was a pause, followed by an uncomfortable silence.
"So are you ok with working with her?" Grizzal questioned.
"Yes dad, Kendra is actually quite cool," Mia smiled, but realized too late that Grizzal wasn't ok with Kendra. He tolerated her at best.
Grizzal stated glibly, without feeling, "Good."
He then changed topics, "I am glad you got out of there. I hear rumblings that the Aswangs are getting ready to mount an offensive against us. I needed you to be out of there in case things go badly. If something happens, STAY out of it."
Mia thought about his replying anxiously, "Are you going to be ok?"
"Yea, of course." Grizzal comforted. "I want to make sure that you are safe from this mess, Kendra … and Dyson caused."
"OK," Mia asked concerned, "Will you have others with you? Will there be packs of shifters ready to fight, if negotiations go south?"
"Yes, of course, but I am doing my hardest, NOT to get into a fight, by an order of the council; and I don't prefer to have another long drawn out war. FUCK. Kendra killed so many of us that it made us weaker as a clan. Well then of course, Kendra killed lots of them too."
Grizzal just erupted and continued his diatribe, "SHIT! How can one fucking human do this much damage to 2 distinct species. These Vampires better fucking hope that Kendra doesn't rear her head in their direction."
Grizzal growled, over the speaker phone in Mia's car.
Mia just added somewhat defending her, "Kendra did what she had to do."
Grizzal just sighed, and replied a little defeated, "Yes she did. Dyson did what he had to do too, but that in no way erases what Kendra did to us. The brothers we lost, and bothers; that still bear the scars of that fateful day at Canal Street, some of which I have known for most of my life."
Grizzal continued, "I saw your uncle Jake yesterday. He STILL can't shift, and you can see the toll it takes on him. Shifters need to be free, and roam in their Dire Wolf form, but now he's trapped, lashing out at everyone, bitter, like a caged animal."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Mia empathized, and realized that with the silence, Grizzal had more to say. She thought it best to let him speak.
"Mia, as my god daughter," Grizzal spoke carefully, "Would you have killed Kendra, if I requested it, when you visited me a week back?"
Mia was speechless because although this was a hypothetical situation, she knew deep down that her dad considered it seriously.
The tenseness in the air made her heart race, and finally after considering the fact that this was before Kendra apologized to her; glibly, without emotion said, "At that time, I would have done so."
"And now?"
"I…. I don't know," Mia stuttered. "I think she is a person trying to do the right thing for her family."
"And due to the circumstances, don't I have the right to justice as well?" Grizzal questioned.
Mia hated this runaway train, and where this conversation was headed.
"Yes," Mia tersely replied, hoping that her god father wouldn't give the order, because she knew that she owed her life to him. Her response would ultimately be yes.
The only way to kill Kendra, and get away with it, would be from a sniper rifle. HERS. Kendra's death, at least, would be instantaneous.
Drake was in the foyer area, in full gear. Alex was by his side also in full gear. At first glance, Alex looked like she was integrated with Drake's team.
Alex nodded to Drake, after looking down at her tablet.
Drake talked into his radio, looking over the list, "Let him in. He is expected."
Alex looked over the guest list, and jotted down Jessica's name, mentioning to Drake, now looking out the window, "My mom…. Major Jessica Flanders, and Captain Dimitri Kosov, are enroute and will arrive in 2 hours."
Drake just smirked, "You know, you can still call her your mom. I think that is a better title, than Major."
Alex looked over to Drake, and chided, "Well I don't want to be in my mother's shadow. I want my achievement to by my own."
Drake rubbed her back, "And they're, no matter the title you give your mother. Hey was Lauren able to help you out?"
"Yes," Alex mentioned, "She suppressed my Fire Sprite powers via injection, and now I can use my tree elder powers."
With that, she did a quick demonstration with her hand, morphing into vine, and shooting forward a couple feet, then changed back to normal.
"Wow, good to hear," Drake stated, in awe.
"Well, I'm not as good as the other tree elders, but at least I can use this power safely," Alex smirked.
Kenzi skipped in, with Arin by her side, also skipping, "And remember little lady, NEVER invite a vampire into your house. Just open the door, and step aside. The will BURN when they cross your threshold."
A tall, slender man, in all black, with squareish features, and short blond, almost white slicked back hair, opened the door; hearing this, and replied in an English accent, "Well NOT totally true, we just don't enter, because we are compelled, as if by a magical force, not to enter. If, say I, trip into your house without being invited, I just depart quickly."
"HOLY SHIT!" Kenzi stated taking a step back, and Arin drew a small dagger. "You're a vampire?... Wait a sec, its DAYLIGHT outside."
"Silly girl, it's over cast outside, and my SUV has really dark tinting, so I can still enjoy the day," he responded, in kind. "I am not here to hurt any of you, but only to attend this boring tribunal function."
Drake stepped forward, and shook his hand firmly, "Spike. I am Drake, head of the security team here."
Spike then looked over to Alex, and introduced himself, "And who are you? You don't seem to be part of Drake's team."
Alex was impressed at how perceptive he was since she was dressed in nearly the same gear as Drake. She gave her left hand for Spike to kiss, since she needed her right, in case she needed a weapon.
"I'm Alex Flanders, spec ops, with the Burning Cypress clan," she formally noted.
Kenzi thought he looked familiar but could not place him. Her befuddled look, made Spike chuckle.
"What?" Spike asked, looking to Kenzi, glancing at the young Valkyrie, still in a defensive stance still.
"I'm not vampire enough for you huh?" Spike smirked, then in an aloof manner, overacted and commented, "You expect me to say stuff like, 'Bleh Bleh Bleh. Velcome to my house. Mu ha ha ha.'"
Arin smirked, still a little guarded, and broke the tension, "I thought I saw you on mustard seed street, counting numbers."
Spike did an eye roll, "Vone!...ah ah ah…. two … ah ah ah… three. Good enough?"
Arin giggled, but then it occurred to her who he was, "Are you from Sunnydale?"
Spike just nodded, "Among other places."
Kenzi's jaw dropped open as she shouted in disbelief, putting together the puzzle pieces, "SPIKE, as in BUFFY The Vampire Slayer, SPIKE!"
Tamsin, and Bo, walked down the steps, curious at who this was that got Kenzi all riled up, like she saw a legend.
"WHY is the slayer always associated with me? I've been known to hang out with others OUTSIDE of the Scooby gang you know," Spike exhaled, in disappointment.
"HOLY SHIT!" Kenzi jumped up, and down. "Arin put the dagger away, I think we need to get something for Spike to autograph!"
They were about to bolt, when Drake's radio came alive on his vest for all to hear, "Naomi to Drake, We have a person requesting for entry who is not on the list. She has identified herself as Ms. Summers. Buffy Summers."
Drake thought about this, but Kenzi ran over, and grabbed his mic then hit transmit on his vest mic yelling into it excitedly, "LET HER IN! Let her in!"
"Ah the Slayer," Spike smirked. "I wonder what took her so long?"
Kenzi ran off with Arin, hot on her heals. "OMG OMG OMG! Buffy the Vampire Slayer! God where is my leather jacket, and sharpie!"
Drake just transmitted, "Hold Naomi."
'Copy. Holding.'
Alex asked curiously, "Is she a friend of yours?"
Spike just smiled broadly, but Tamsin, in the back, finally spoke up. "Buffy, and Spike go way back. While I won't call them enemies, or friends, they are almost inseparable."
Spike added, "Just let the Slayer in. She probably needs the Dark, which only I have."
Drake talked into his mic, "Let Ms. Summers in."
"Copy."
"I'd say everyone needs a little dark. I'm Tamsin," Tamsin walked up to Spike, and curtsied before him, Spike smiled broadly, and kissed her hand.
'Bo don't you DARE get jealous. Buffy, and Spike, have been putting Fae kind into the ground like no one's business, since you could barely crawl,' Tamsin communicated to Bo, over the link.
'AND he's HOT, and built like a brick house.' Tamsin relayed to Bo, but realized her error. 'I mean, not like YOU hot, cus you're HOT, hot!'
Bo never saw Tamsin pay respect to someone that way before, and knew Spike had to be dark or equivalent. They also had to be bad ass like her, to get her respect like that, immediately.
"Pleased to meet you Tamsin. Wait… are you Tamsin, the Fallen but invincible Valkyrie," Spike noted, with a slight nod.
Tamsin let the comment soak in, and glowed, with her cheeks getting red at the compliment; then swatted her hand away from her face answering, "Yea, I am, but YOU can just call me Tamsin."
Spike smirked, and replied coyly, "And YOU can call ME whenever you want."
Bo executed an eye roll at this obvious pass at her Valkyrie.
Tamsin clicked, and said, "6:30 PM Dinner here at my table… oh with my partner Bo, the unalign…."
Spike kissed Bo's hand, since he immediately knew who she was, "The succubus, soon to be the goddess of the new order in Valhalla, and a claim to the throne in Asgard. I hear you went up against Odin himself, and won."
Bo was flattered that he knew her, since it wasn't common knowledge, or so she thought.
"Well family, we tend to fight a lot," Bo dismissed, but smiled genuinely at the comment.
A shorter woman walked in, with long dirty blond straight hair. She had soft features, but looked a little tired. She immediately addressed Spike, "What are you doing here?"
Spike just grinned, and replied, "Good to see you too Buffy, and for your information…"
"In 5 words or less," Buffy cut in a little impatiently.
Spike looked up, and formulated what he needed to say, and counted the words out on one hand for all to see, "To. Attend. The. Tribunal."
Spike must have realized that he had 1 more word, and planned to use all five, so after a brief pause, jokingly tacked on, "Bitch!" Showing off his counting skill, on one hand.
"Funny," Buffy stated, "I have 5 words too, which describes why I am here."
Buffy also counted off her words, "To. Kick. Evil's. Butt…. DORK."
Spike snickered.
'OMG they have it BAD,' Tamsin thought to Bo, when she heard 2 people scampering towards her.
Kenzi just yelled, and shoved past everyone, "Step aside! Let me through. Let me through! All Ya'll have to wait in line for autographs."
Arin just backed her up, and stated a step behind, "Yea, take a number bitches!"
Like a rabid fan base, they surrounded Buffy, and crowded out everyone else as they jumped up, and down excitedly in a high pitch voice, to get Buffy to sign everything they could get their hands on.
"Oh My god, Miss Summers, Buffy" Kenzi yelped, "I am your biggest. I mean BIGGEST fan!"
Buffy was nice, and exchanged pleasantries, and signed what she had to.
Tamsin just looked over to Spike, who was shaking his head in disgust.
Tamsin huffed out a laugh, "Excuse their erratic human like behavior. Sooo unprofessional."
Bo just kept cool, and watched.
Drake then noticed, a taller wavy long brown haired woman with brown eyes come out of a side hall walking towards them in a relax gait. She had a dagger on her, but it was sheathed. He knew everyone that was invited, and she wasn't one of them, nor did the security team inform him. That meant she bypassed them somehow.
Alex noted the woman too, and took her AR off safety with a soft click.
Drake heard that, and knew she was ready, but kept his wits about him, glancing at the list, but keeping an eye on her at the same time.
Tamsin look over, and yelped with childish joy, "FAITH! Oh my god! Oh my god! STAND DOWN everyone!"
Tamsin ran over to her, and stopped dead in front of her, announcing to all, motioning at her like she was an item up for bids, "This is Faith Lehane, another slayer! Just MORE awesome and bad ass than any other slayer dead or alive!"
"Thanks," Faith smirked.
"OMG! I'm Tamsin," she introduced herself to Faith, extending her hand.
Faith shook her hand, "Oh the Missing Valkyrie. It's an honor. Really it is. I hear that 'snarkiness' is defined in the dictionary with a picture of you. I've been aspiring to do that word justice."
Tamsin bent at the knees briefly soaking in the huge compliment, "Oh… I know!"
Tamsin then whispered to her, so that no one else could hear, "Can I get your autograph?"
Faith just replied, "Any time Valkyrie."
"Oh bugger, to WHAT do I owe the pleasure of not 1 but 2 slayers?" Spike rhetorically asked loudly in an incredulous manner.
Lauren finally joined them, and Kenzi was nice enough to introduce everyone.
Bo approached Tamsin, stood next to her watching Kenzi do the intro, and told her Valkyrie, "You know using the link one way is NOT fair. There is no way for me to respond, and tell you how jealous I am that you have other idols."
Tamsin just huffed out a laugh, and turned to Bo scrunching her face, "Yea, I know. I am evil remember, my bonded partner?"
Drake's mic on his vest came to life again, and told everyone in the room, "Naomi to Drake, We have Aswang representatives, Analyn and Malaya requesting for entry."
Alex glanced at her tablet, and accessed the camera, overlooking the make shift entry point, zooming in on the car's occupants, then pulled up the guest list, which had their corresponding pictures. Alex did this for everyone including Buffy, and Faith after a little searching.
Also, Alex knew the Scooby gang as well, from stories written about them. They were legends already.
Alex nodded to Drake, and Drake relayed into his mic, "Let them in."
Drake looked over to Lauren expectantly. He needed this area clear, to prevent any confrontations off the bat. Lucky for him, Grizzal, and Seth, from the shifter clan, were due in much later. Jessica, and John, from the Burning Cypress clan, were due to be onsite, in less than 2 hours.
Lauren, with a queue from Drake, announced to Buffy, Spike, and Faith, "Please, let me show you to your rooms."
Lauren did have a question about how many rooms were needed. From what she knew about Buffy, was that her, and Spike were an item, and probably still were. Spike had the hot's for, of all people, the slayer, Buffy, who is supposed to kill him and vice versa. They were never official. Faith however, was rumored to have a thing for Buffy too, WHICH was never validated, as well.
The Scooby Gang followed Lauren, thanking her for hosting them. Kenzi, and Arin trailed closely behind, swarming them in a way, like a rabid fan base does.
It didn't take long, when Bo noticed 2 conservatively, but well dressed, fair skinned, Asian women with some Spanish features, enter the room. Their long, dark brown, almost black hair, flowed freely in the air. They were both stunning. They looked to be, in their early 30s.
Tamsin nudged Bo, but said something unexpected in a low grumble, "DINNER time my succu-sweet."
Bo glanced at Tamsin, and said, as a matter of fact, "Hello! Not everyone is DINNER. You can't skip things like getting to know them."
"Oh," Tamsin clicked with a smirk, "You mean starter dish? That is WHY there are two of them. One for appetizer, and one for the main course… and the Vampire, and Slayers, RICH RICH dessert! "
Drake, and Alex were first to introduce themselves, with Bo close behind.
Bo shook Analyn's hand, "I'm Bo Dennis. I am pleased to meet you."
Analyn replied back tersely, "Like wise."
Bo noticed her aura turned slightly negative, and realized that the main reason why, was probably her killing some to them, in an attempt to get Kendra, and Dyson out of the woods.
Tamsin just hung back knowing this.
Bo, then give Malaya a friendly smile, and shook her hand as well saying, "Hi I'm Bo."
Malaya just smiled warmly, "Good to meet you Bo. You're a succubus?"
Bo tried to take her hand back but Malaya held it.
Tamsin was ready to go postal on her, and Drake, and Alex were ready for action, although holding position.
Malaya just continued, mentioning seductively, "Can we meet? Just you, and I later, if it is ok with your Valkyrie?"
Bo replied getting to the point, but still being friendly, "Do I need to thrall you, so you don't lick, chew, or eviscerate my organs?"
Analyn replied scolding Malaya, "MALAYA, we are here on business. Stick with the program."
Malaya ignored Analyn but replied, "The tribunal is tomorrow, and today is today. No need to waste it. Bo, I am under a flag of truce at present, until after the tribunal. I will not hurt you. Nor will Analyn."
Bo saw Malaya's aura spike slightly, and knew she was being sincere, and replied playing hard to get, "Well there are so many guests coming, my schedule is all booked."
'OH crap Bo. She wants you bad. I'd say zero to horizontal, with no clothing in 5 seconds or less,' Tamsin's voice appeared in Bo's head.
Malaya finally let go of Bo's hand, and asked in a sultry tone, "Care to show me my room?"
Bo looked hesitant, since Lauren was supposed to do that, until Malaya took off her blazer, which revealed an almost see through button down blouse, and half cup bra, underneath.
Bo's eyes almost turned blue, when Malaya adjusted her bra down, to reveal more of her assets.
Tamsin huffed out a laugh, and thought to Bo, 'Wow the appetizer is here ALREADY. Now you be a BAD BAD succubus, and I PROMISE you, you can lap me… Allllllllll night, after I punish you of course.'
A huge grin washed across Bo's face, as she summoned both of them, in a seductive tone, curling her index finger towards her, "This way please."
Tamsin just waved to them, and said, "Have fun."
Drake just shook his head, but his interest was piqued, when Alex wrote on her tablet, showing it to him.
It read:
'Whirlpool. In 10 mins b4 next ppl arr.'
Drake nodded, and spoke formally into his microphone, "Drake to Talan, can you back me up for the next 30 minutes. Alex and I need to check the perimeter."
"Ok. On my way," was the mic's response.
Bo ran into Lauren; Lauren already knew the game, and told Bo to put them in an adjoining suite.
Analyn was shown her room, and when Bo showed Malaya hers, Malaya began to undress just inside the door.
The blue eyed Bo was mesmerized, as Malaya's clothes hit the ground, in quick succession. Analyn had already shut her door.
Malaya, in a sultry tone, immediately after her last remaining garments hit the ground mentioned, "COMING in?"
Bo just smiled, and threw caution to the wind; with a naughty look on her face, she stepped in, and kicked the door closed behind her.
