Lauren's POV – Next Day – 5th Precinct

"It's her again; you can't ignore her forever you know. I mean the way you ended it was kind of cold, she at least deserves an explanation. Plus it's not really fair that you're mad and hurt by her. But you're fine with me when I knew her secret."

"I know…and I'm not mad at you because you never tell someone else's business, that's one of the things I love about you the most Kenz." I say as I watch my phone buzzing with Bo's beautiful face on my screen. I just watched my phone continue to buzz before it sends her to voice mail again.

"Shit, Nadia's on her way over here again to flirt with me again like she has been lately since…Bo hasn't been around. You mind if I take my lunch break at your apartment since it's closer than my place?"

"Sure Lolo, you know I gave ya a key to come and go as you please." I nod at Kenzi with smile. "Thanks Kenz, you're the best!"

"Hotpants please…tell me something I don't know." Kenzi made me laugh out loud as I made my way out. "Hey Lau-"

"Sorry Nadia, I'm going on break, need some alone time." I rushed out to my car as quickly as possible without breaking into a sprint. I can't believe I almost dated her before Bo walked into my diner.

My diner, that's how you know you're a regular when you call an establishment, yours. I know the way I ended things with Bo was shitty and not my style at all. But I panicked and I didn't handle my emotions well, definitely not one of my best moments. It's time I stop running, do what's right and talk to Bo.

Bo's POV – Battle & Associates P.C.

"Hey Bobo, just thought you'd like to know, Lauren's on her way to my place for her lunch break. This is the perfect opportunity for operation; 'Win back Doctor Hotpants'. So, you better make it count and if that's not enough motivation for you, Nadia's been circling Lolo like a vulture again without you around. Oh and don't forget, my apartment complex isn't the best so you might want to be on guard. Yes, I know I could just move but I grew up there, sentimental value baby! Anyway gotta go figure out what to wear for my late one month anniversary date with Vex tonight while I'm on my lunch break, Kenzi hawk, out."

I chuckle as the line went dead. It's time the prosecutor had a little chat with one very hot detective. Thank god for Kenzi giving me a heads up on Lauren's current whereabouts because there's no way I'm giving that Nadia bitch another chance to get my girl.

15 Minutes Later – Kenzi's Apartments Complex

Good thing I sped to get here along with the privilege to park anywhere I want thanks to my title because the first thing I saw when I got to Kenzi's floor pissed me off. Lauren's surrounded by four guys that are definitely on steroids in the middle of the hallway. Lauren of course, doesn't look scared at all. She's in fight stance, waiting for them to make the first move.

I sprinted towards the two men with their backs towards me and slid in between them to become back to back with Lauren in fight stance along with her. "Now baby, what did I tell you about making new friends? You know that you have to pick your friends wisely, Detective."

I can hear the smirk in Lauren's reply. "Shut up and get ready for a sad excuse for a work out, detective." We watched as the men's eyes widened in fear. Lauren and I both knew they might try to beat one defective and get away with it but two? Any idiot knows that's just stupid because that means there could be more cops just waiting to pounce. I mean we know I'm not a detective but they don't know that. The group seemed to debate their odds before they decided to bolt as fast as possible.

"As I always say, work smarter not harder. I'm guessing Kenzi told you where I was?" I nodded in conformation. "Please don't be mad at-"

"Bo, I'm not mad at Kenzi, she always medals for the best of those she cares for. What I did to you was cowardly and wrong. I was just scared and you deserve an explanation. So, would you like to come in for a glass of water?"

"I'd love to, thank you Lauren." Maybe I won't have to fight as hard as I thought. I'm starting to sound like a broken record but thank god for Kenzi.

Lauren's POV

Shootouts, gangsters, bloody, wounded patients I can handle yet; a talk with Bo has me nervous as hell. I can do this, I can do this…I hope. God, I missed her so much thanks to me giving into my fears and she's even more beautiful than the last time I saw her, watching me from across the counter as I slide her a glass of water.

"Lauren, I have to know…how did you find out…?" I stared deep into her eyes as I took a deep breath. "Because you saved me…" She looks at me confused, waiting for me to continue.

"Almost two years ago, I was crossing the street and a truck came out of nowhere and almost hit me. I froze so I was sure I was dead so I closed my eyes and waited for the hit. But if never came, instead I felt myself being pushed out of the way roughly. I opened my eyes and saw you punch the drunk driver, threatening him to be more careful or else next time you won't be so nice to him. You never really looked at me but I saw a very quick glance of your face thanks to a street light before you ran off into the night."

Bo's looking at me completely shocked. "I remember that night, it was one of the first things I did as the Shadow Assassin. I'm sorry, I didn't even bother to look at you or ask if you were okay." I put my hands on top of hers. "It's okay Bo; you saved my life and us when you think about it." She smiles at our hands together before she nods at me with a smile.

"After that night, I became obsessed to find you to thank you. So, I followed every rumor, lead or tip that I could find by myself, in my free time. But I still couldn't find you, so I just knew tidbits about the vigilante Shadow Assassin. When you first came to me at the diner I froze because you seemed familiar and then pieces started coming together as time went on; the park, your vigilante question, your easy access to criminal cases, the voice you used on Tamsin…and nobody knows this but I also have an alert set in case anyone digs for information about me just like Kenzi but, mine isn't as high tech as her custom security/tracking system. I could only get a general area of where the IP address was coming from. So I ran the names of the owners of every property in that area; only one stood out by being owned by the name of Bo Dennis. You know Bo isn't a common name these days. On our third date, you were ten minutes late when I came to pick you up. I assumed you came from your hideout because you said you were late thanks to work. Your firm is farther away from your home to make it home in the time that you did based on what time you said you left your office to come meet me at your home. But, the time made sense if you came from your hideout."

"Wow, you could give Batman a run for his money!" She said seriously, making me chuckle. I took a drink of water to help my dry mouth before I continued.

"Bo, I understand why you couldn't tell me right away. I could have turned you in, you also probably didn't want me to feel like I had to choose between you and my duty as a law enforcement officer, I could have left you etc. That is why I gave you time and I told you things I told no one else except Kenzi, like how I sometimes "lose" medical records of patients who can't afford to pay for their treatment or how Kenzi and I have done searches discreetly without warrants. I told you those things to show you that thanks to the things I've seen in both of my professions, that I know things are never black and white and the system can be very flawed at times. I thought with time, you'd trust me. But as I was laying there watching you sleep in my arms after we made love, I realized I loved you and then the fear of loving you when you may never trust me enough to tell me your secret terrified me because both parties being open and honest with each other in a relationship is non-negotiable with me. I'm sorry I ended things with you like that, it wasn't my intention but my fear just took over, I'm so sorry, Bo."

Bo squeezed my hands in reassurance. I can't believe how much I missed her touch. I was so stupid and she's being so understanding, I don't think deserve her.

"It's okay Lauren and in the interest of open honesty. I have to tell you something and please don't react till I'm finish, okay?" I nodded, agreeing to do as Bo asked of me.

"You only came to my attention because you were a hired hit under false pretenses, not that I found that out right away. But from the moment I saw a picture of you I felt drawn to you and obviously started questioning the hit because you didn't seem like a vicious monster but just the exact opposite. Well turns out, the hit was a set up by Tamsin and her girlfriend Evony who is a judge that at times informs me of bad guys she knows are guilty as sin but her hands were tied and she had to let them go unpunished. She's known me since before my fiancée Ryan was murdered and helped me become the Shadow Assassin. They said if they tried to do a regular blind date or something I'd reject the idea without even looking at a picture which is true. Lauren, before you; I was dead set against even trying to find love again to protect my heart so I only looked for meaningless sex with others. Lauren, you turned my life upside-down in the best ways possible and I love you for that and so much more and I'm sorry…for almost killing you...and I was going to tell you, I was just trying to find the right words and the right time."

I laugh, confusing Bo a bit. "First, that scheme definitely sounds like something Tamsin would take part in. Secondly Bo, I'm figured Ryan's death was the birth of the Shadow Assassin and I'm sorry for your loss again. But I'm so glad I'm the one that opened your heart to me; to love again. Lastly, I'm a detective Bo. I get attacked and or almost killed almost every day so it's no big deal really. I mean think about it, even earlier in the hallway and for no good reason. Kenzi really has to move to a building with less angry idiots always looking for a fight for no reason. I mean after a certain extent; I'm sorry but screw sentimental value. This building isn't as wholesome as it once was."

Bo laughs so freely for the first time in this whole conversation and it warms my heart. "…Wait…did you say, you love me?" I chuckled at her with a smile as I looked into her eyes. "Yes I did, I love you, you crazy Shadow Assassin and Bo, I figured you were going to tell me, I'm sorry I didn't give you more time because I let my fear get the best of me."

"It's okay Lauren, I completely understand how powerful fear can be." Bo then jumped over the counter to kiss me. Right before the kiss got too heated she pulled away. "Wait…Kenzi told me about Nadia lurking around. Do I have to beat her ass?" I chuckled at my adorably jealous Bo.

"No, she means nothing to me. Now shut up and kiss me. I've missed you so much baby."

She picks me up and carries me to the guest room aka my room so Kenzi doesn't kill us for doing it in her room which is closer. Our kisses are frantic and heated as we practically tore each other's clothes off. "I need you so bad baby…" I whimper out, pleading

We immediately rubbed each other's soaked cores together in a hard, fast grind with heated kisses being placed anywhere we could reach on each other's bodies with our lips. "Aahhh ahh Bo Bbo…Yesss Lauren, oohh GOD BABY YESSSS"

It's like we're sharing one mind as we entered each other with the same amount of fingers at the same. Both our walls are clenching around our fingers making us both moan into our kiss. "God Laauureen…I wa-nt…need more…" She buried herself into my neck, biting me hard enough to make me bleed.

"BBBBOOOOOOOOOO!" That bite was all it took to make me cum. After I took a moment to recollect myself, I flipped over a very naughty, grinning prosecutor which made her giggle until I started eating her pussy with hunger and greed.

"OHHH LAUREN AHH AH LAUREN YEEESS" Bo put her hand on my head to shove me in deeper right before I hit her g-spot with the two fingers I slipped in to accompany my tongue that is still inside of her. "FFUUCCCKK LLLLAAAAUURRRENNNNNN" She came hard into my mouth and I savored every bit of her cum that I could, eagerly.

Five Hours Later

"You know, we really should start stocking the fridge with sports drinks because my Medulla Oblongata is screaming for hydration. I can literally feel my equilibrium." I say as we pant heavily while Bo continues to kiss me wherever she could.

"The geek speak is working, Doctor." I chuckle as I lean in for a kiss. "I must be the only woman in history that has to pretend to be a ditz to repel sexual attraction." Bo laughs as she flips us over.

"Repel? Really?" I moan out even more as she starts kissing my neck again before coming back in for another full kiss. "You've gotta know I'm kidding." Bo grins at me, "I know that you're kidding." We share a few more kisses before Bo's phone interrupts us with a text alert.

"Ugh, Tamsin wants me to go by the Dal. She says it's important." She tells me before she leans in for another kiss. "Uh huh"

"Yeah" She barely pants out before I lean up for another kiss. "How, how important?" I asked as I drew her in with the desire in my eyes. "She loves to exaggerate." Bo tosses her phone carelessly somewhere on the floor before we kissed again.

"That's my girl, I love you, Bo." She widely grins at me. "Only yours baby just as you are only mine. I love you too, Lauren. Please don't ever leave me again. I couldn't survive it again; I barely did this time around." I kissed Bo quickly before I wiped away the two tears that escaped her eyes. I can't believe I broke her heart and my own especially due to my stupid fear.

"Never again Bo, I promise. I barely survived it too and I never want to be without you again. I'm never going to be that stupid again. I love you, Ysabeau Elizabeth McCorrigan…besides; now, I can come to you when my hands are tied because of the law." I joked, making us both laugh as she playfully slapped my chest before we kissed again.
