Chapter 6
"Bo! Are you alright?" Dyson yelled as he rushed to her side. Instead of the crushing hug he thought he would receive, Bo merely shrugged him off, crawling towards the blonde woman.
"Tamsin! Tamsin, Tamsin, Tamsin.." Bo called out uselessly, cradling the the valkyrie's face in her hands and watching the dazed expression on her face.
Before Bo could get a proper response, Tamsin's eyes fluttered shut, and she lost conciousness. The succubus pat her cheek in a vain attempt to wake her back up.
"Bo, who is she? Why're you—" Dyson started, flustered by all the attention being given to Bo's attacker.
"Shut up, Dyson. I cannot believe you just did this. I am seriously pissed right now," Bo interrupted angrily.
"But she was attacking you!"
"She was not!"
"She.. what?" Dyson replied, confusion coloring his tone.
"You heard me," Bo shot back sassily.
Before the conversation could continue further, a certain human came blustering through the forest, breaking into the small clearing the wolf, valkyrie, and succubus currently occupied.
"Seriously, D, I am but a feeble human! Ya practically left me for dead, dude. And another thing-" Kenzi stopped mid-sentence, staring at her best friend who she thought was gone forever. Dyson assured her that he would know if she died, via the fact that he was bound to her for life, but the human just couldn't believe that. After all, Dyson was a shape-shifter, not an actual wolf. For all she knew, he was just that stupidly in love with her, unable to convince himself otherwise. So for two weeks, she lived in fear that the one person she trusted wholly was gone forever. So, Kenzi reacted like any normal person, and she lunged at Bo, pulling her into the biggest of bear hugs.
"Bo! My Bo-bear, my bestie-westie, my BFF Jill, my sex machine friend, my main squeeze, my..." Kenzi rambled on, clutching to the succubus as if she would disappear from her arms.
"Kenzi! Oh my god. I've missed you so much," Bo said in-between Kenzi's various titles for her, hugging her and briefly forgetting the trouble Dyson caused.
Kenzi stopped speaking as soon as her eyes fell upon the blonde propped up motionless against the tree. She opened her mouth to ask the question, but Bo beat her to it.
"That's Tamsin. Uh, she's been with me for four days.. she volunteered to help me find you guys."
"What's with you and blondes?" Kenzi teased affectionately.
Bo rolled her eyes, refusing to give her best friend much more of a response. Kenzi just kept on teasing, waggling her eyebrows at the succubus as Dyson stared on, baffled by the whole situation.
"Mmmmm, interesting."
"There's nothing interesting!" Bo replied defensively.
"If you say so, Bo-bo."
"I can't believe we're just having a casual conversation while my.. friend is out cold."
"Bet she's a bottle blonde," the human nonchalantly remarked. "That is too nice of a blonde color."
"Her hair is too soft for that.." Bo murmured to herself but before Kenzi could ask her to clarify or speak louder, she said something else. "As if, Kenz, how is she gonna manage her roots in the zombie apocalypse?"
"Valid point, my friend, very valid point," came the reply.
Conversation pushed aside, Bo shot a glare at Dyson, making him gulp in discomfort as he rubbed the back of his neck and avoided her eyes.
"ANYWAYS, I want to try something," Bo finally said, moving her hostile stare away from the wolf. Her gaze softened as she looked at the valkyrie, and she leaned in, pressing her lips to the blonde's before transferring her chi. An orange stream entered Tamsin's body, and immediately, the trio saw results. The valkyrie's eyes shot open, she inhaled harshly as Bo stopped the transfer. The succubus contained herself from grabbing and kissing the blonde woman with all of her being.
"Gods, that feels like the Peloponnesian War running through my veins right now. Woo," Tamsin exclaimed, moving her limbs this way and that, loosening them up. She reached up to feel the back of her head and found blood matting her hair, but no wound.
"Woah, dude, you're that old?!" Kenzi's eyes widened in surprise. "You don't even look like you're 30!"
Tamsin stared curiously at the skinny human in front of her before shrugging and simply answering with, "Where there are wars, there are valkyries. We have many lives."
"That is very true," Dyson interjected.
At this, Tamsin glanced up to the wolf, her jaw setting in anger. "And you, wolf," she practically spit out, "If you ever try to pull that shit on me again, you will be prancing through these woods neutered and with a limp."
The valkyrie's eyes darkened the slightest bit as a threat, and the wolf stared back at her, as if accepting the challenge. The air between them quickly became thick with unspoken anger, but before anything could transpire, Tamsin felt a soft hand on her cheek. She looked over at whoever was touching her face and found Bo silently asking her to not go further. The blonde sighed, letting the shadows drop from her face before standing up, offering a hand to both ladies still on the ground. They all stood now, dusting themselves off.
"Well, now that you've ruined what would've been a pleasant afternoon, wolf, you might as well make yourself useful and lead us somewhere safe before it gets dark," Tamsin said in a snarky tone.
Dyson looked at her then at Bo, before repeating the same process. When he finally regained his senses after blindly rushing in and shoving Tamsin off of Bo, he realized there was another scent mingled in the air besides the women's scents. And that was the smell of sex. He gritted his teeth as it dawned on him what exactly he interrupted. The wolf marched ahead of the three women into the town, leading them to where he and Kenzi formed a temporary shelter.
"What a grumpy butt, huh?" Kenzi nudged Bo before looping her arm around Bo's, dragging her along as she tried to keep pace with Dyson. Bo glanced back at Tamsin, hoping to convey in her eyes that she wanted to talk to the taller woman later. Instead, the succubus was met with a guarded gaze, zero emotion apparent on Tamsin's face. The brunette sighed, allowing herself to be tugged along at an urgent pace before Kenzi finally gave up. She figured Dyson wouldn't walk so far ahead as to leave them behind, and she was right.
Tamsin followed wordlessly behind them, lost in her thoughts. However, a part of her mind was always devoted to keeping her guard up, and she made sure that nothing snuck up on them from behind. The valkyrie watched how easily the human and succubus interacted, as if the friendship was as natural leaves on a tree. They laughed carelessly, as if the dead rising from their graves was a distant concern. Well, Tamsin, you got her back to her friends. That's all you promised. You can definitely leave at any time.. right? She's safe now.. Well, as safe as someone who falls into a river can be. That settles it, then. I'm leaving in the morning.
After a short amount of time, they arrived at a decrepit building with boarded up windows and doors. They followed Dyson to the back where he pulled off a group of planks from a window, maneuvering his body inside and motioning for the rest of them to follow as soon as he took a good whiff of the place to make sure no one was around. After everyone made it inside, he tugged the planks back into place, shutting them inside. Without making eye contact, he made an announcement to the two additional people.
"Ahem, there's two rooms adjacent to each other upstairs, but they aren't large so we can only fit three people in a room.. However, seeing as how the world is full of flesh-eating people, it would be unwise for someone to sleep alone so—"
"I'll sleep with Tamsin," Bo volunteered quickly but became flustered just as fast. "I-I mean, I'll sleep in the same room as her."
Tamsin looked at the ground, biting the inside of her cheek as she quelled the temptation to torment Bo.
Dyson pursed his lips for a moment. "Alright, whatever, that works. Kenzi and I are already set up in a room. It'd just be dumb to move around."
As Kenzi lead Bo to the room she would be staying in, Tamsin shot a victorious smirk at the wolf. Had he been in his wolf form, Tamsin guarantees his fur would be bristling with annoyance. She strode confidently after the girls, basking in the glow of her victory. When she arrived at the room, Bo was already setting up her sleeping bag. The blonde soon followed suit, and Kenzi watched them awkwardly.
"Well, uh, I'll just leave you two to that.. Dyson and I will start on dinner," she announced before turning on her heel and leaving the room.
Tamsin sat down on the ground, looking around at what looked like a small office. Without much thought, she heaved a sigh, lying down on her back and grumbling about the hardness of the floor.
"You know.." Bo started, her voice tipping into flirtation. "If we stack our sleeping bags and slept in one together, it would be softer."
"Try a little harder with that seduction." Tamsin snorted, turning on her side and away from the succubus's tempting gaze.
As soon as she turned over, Bo saw the matted blood on the back of her head. She lowered her tone as a result, nearly whispering. "We should get your head cleaned up."
Tamsin reached up, touching the back of her head. "Oh, right."
"Can't run my hands through your hair if there's blood making it stick together." Bo had immediately switched back to being flirtatious.
With a roll of her eyes, Tamsin got back up, exiting the room. "C'mon, succulette," she called behind her, listening as Bo rushed to catch up to her.
They descended the stairs, and Dyson's eyes were immediately drawn to their presence. Bo stopped, mentioning that they were just going to find a creek to clean the valkyrie's hair. Unlike Bo, Tamsin kept on going, removing the planks from the window and exiting swiftly. Again, the succubus had to rush to catch up to her.
"You know, your long legs are an unfair advantage," Bo huffed, slightly out of breath.
"Excuses, excuses," Tamsin replied mindlessly, letting her instincts take over as she walked in a seemingly aimless manner.
Soon, the two found themselves at a pathetic attempt of a creek, but Tamsin didn't care. She just wanted the blood out of her hair; the smell of iron and rust was a nuisance to her. She kneeled on the ground, cupping the water and pouring it over the dried blood. She watched as the water that ran down the sides of her head turn red, and she repeated the process. Mere moments later, Bo grabbed her hand.
"Here, let me help you," she said, her hands already cupping and dumping the water on the blonde's head.
"Like I have a choice in the matter," Tamsin muttered, keeping still.
Bo started running her fingers through the valkyrie's hair to get out the tougher spots of blood. To make the experience more comfortable for Tamsin, she skillfully massaged her scalp, watching as the blonde shuddered at her touch. She smirked to herself. Hah, that's what you get, valkyrie. Teach you to be sassy with me.
Eventually, all the blood was rinsed out, and all that was left was the golden sheen of blonde hair. Tamsin flipped her hair out of her face and shook it from side to side thus flicking water on the brunette.
"Hey! This is the thanks I get for washing the blood out of your hair?"
"Well.. considering it was your puppy boyfriend who made me like this in the first place.. I think it was justified.. just a little bit."
"He's not my puppy boyfriend."
"Certainly acts like it."
"He's not. I already told you about the talk I had with him!"
"Doesn't change the fact that he'd run face first into a mountain if you asked him to move it for you."
"Ugh, whatever, Tamsin." Bo walked ahead of her, refusing to even look at the blonde.
Once they arrived back at the building, a waft of strange scents came their way. Kenzi jumped up at the sight of them, clapping her hands.
"Dinner is ready, ladies! Tonight, we'll be having a fine can of beans with an equally fine can of peaches as dessert."
"Oh joy," Tamsin replied, rolling her eyes towards the ceiling.
"If you don't like it, don't eat then," Dyson shot back, glaring.
"Woah, calm down, D-man, she was just joking. Trust me, I speak English and Sarcasm."
Dyson grumbled, going back to eating his beans and peaches.
Another victory for me, Tamsin thought before shooting a dazzling smile at the human to add onto her win. "Thank you."
"Uh, yes.. yeah. No problem," Kenzi managed to reply, disarmed by the seemingly genuine smile she just received.
Bo knew better, though, and she nudged Tamsin harshly with her elbow before joining her old friends. The blonde merely grinned, following close behind. Dyson and Tamsin remained silent, but Bo and Kenzi prattled on about nothing and everything. From what the valkyrie saw, their friendship was nothing like she had ever seen. She admired it in some ways. However long their conversation was, eventually it came to an end when Kenzi yawned loudly.
"I'm pooped," she announced, stretching her arms up. "Let's knock out for the night, and we'll catch you guys up on some more important stuff."
With that, everyone proceeded up the stairs and into their respective rooms. Before Tamsin could object, Bo grabbed her sleeping bag, stacking it on top of hers. She closed the door, relieving herself of the rest of her gear before working her way inside of the bag. The succubus glanced up innocently at the valkyrie, smiling sweetly. Tamsin didn't even bother to do or say something snarky; for once, she just accepted it and pulled off her own gear.
Tamsin slid inside of the bag, facing Bo and staring at her with a blank expression.
"Oh, come on, valkyrie. Don't be such a party-pooper," Bo pouted.
Bo misread her mood, but fortunately, that was a good thing. Before she knew it, Tamsin slid her arms around her, pulling her in close as she kissed her fiercely. Their lips melded together, and they reveled in the softness of the other person's lips. Tamsin traced Bo's bottom lip, begging for entrance to which Bo allowed. The succubus whimpered into the blonde's mouth, their tongues mingling and sliding against each other with a sense of urgency.
Tamsin gripped the brunette's behind in her hands, squeezing it roughly. She slapped it once, causing Bo to pull away from their kiss as she let out a cry. She bit her lip, her body overcome with both the sensations of pain and pleasure.
"More," she whispered hoarsely into Tamsin's ear, causing the blonde to shiver.
The taller woman complied, smacking her ass and rubbing it afterwards. Again, Bo let out a cry followed by a small moan. She opened her mouth to ask for more, but Tamsin beat her to the punch, slapping it again. The brunette ground her hips into Tamsin's, moaning as the blonde leaned in to lick and suck at the most sensitive spot on her neck: her pulse. That, coupled with the smacks, drove the succubus crazy, and her eyes turned bright blue with desire.
She unzipped the sleeping bag, rolling on top of Tamsin to straddle her hips. The blonde still had a firm hold on the shorter woman's butt, and her hands kneaded at the soft but firm flesh. Bo leaned down, pressing their breasts together as she kissed the woman below her fervently. The valkyrie reached between them, using one hand to grope the succubus's breast while one hand still rubbed her behind.
Bo separated from the kiss, a low moan resounding in her throat. Tamsin continued to work her magic, now placing wet kisses on the brunette's neck. She heard another moan and figured she'd tease the now blue-eyed woman some more. She trailed her kisses up towards her ear before whispering seductively.
"Mm, Bo, you like that, don't you? You like being my dirty little succubus. I bet you want to bounce up and down on my fingers until you come all over my hand, huh?"
With that, Tamsin bit down roughly on Bo's neck, sucking hard afterwards to mark her. In effect, the succubus let out an alarmingly loud moan, her hands gripping the sleeping bag on either side of the valkyrie's head. Tamsin trailed her hands under Bo's shirt, wanting to rid her of it so she could see and feel that soft, soft skin. Before she could however, they were interrupted when the door swung open, and a very disgruntled wolf stood in the doorway.
"We can fucking hear you," Dyson hissed menacingly. "If you don't stop, I will throw you off of her."
"That'd seem a bit difficult, considering she's the one on top right now," Tamsin smirked.
Dyson clenched his jaw, ready to spit out words that were akin to venom.
"Stop, Dyson," Bo sighed. "We won't do anything. We'll sleep. And you, Tamsin, quit being mean. Tell Kenzi I said sorry."
"Fine," Dyson grumbled, closing the door and heading back to the other room.
Bo simply moved from on top of Tamsin, resuming her position of being snuggled into her side. She zipped up the sleeping bag, sighing at the lost opportunity of pleasure.
"You're really gonna listen to him, huh?"
"Shush, and go to sleep," Bo replied grumpily. She then promptly closed her eyes, aiming for sleep.
Tamsin blew out a breath, her arms wrapped around the younger woman. Now how am I supposed to leave in the morning? I was going to wear the little sex demon out and make my escape.. Stupid wolf just ruined that plan. I definitely won't be able to sneak away with her like this, practically glued to my side.
Bo had her reasons for wanting to share a sleeping bag with the valkyrie. Obviously, she wanted to cuddle and maybe have sexy times, but she also knew that the blonde couldn't run away from her like this. With her very own arms, she could keep her anchored by her side. She saw the look in her eyes as they followed Dyson to this building. She's going to leave me because she got me back to Kenzi and Dyson.. No way in hell am I letting her go that easily.
She's so stubborn, Tamsin thought to herself, succumbing to sleep, always getting her way.
Little did Tamsin know, Bo was having similar thoughts as she herself drifted off into sleep. If she wasn't so stubborn, it wouldn't be this hard to just get her to stay a while.
Damn succubus.
Stupid valkyrie.
