Bonfire
The bonfire is simple, small. It burns brightly with all the useless items which included, but is not limited to; half a bed, broken chairs, parts of the wall that broke off in the last fight and some hay and newspaper that were probably completely burnt up right now.
Lauren stares at it. She can list all the different items, and the speed of their burn depending on what polish or material covered over the wood. She could voice why hydrogen and oxygen were flammable and water wasn't. She could talk about why copper sulphate made the fire green and potassium chloride purple. She can say so much, a crazy amount to be honest, even Bo had said she tended to mumble odd things in her sleep like isotopes or 'spontaneous combustion'.
Though the last she's sure is a joke. Maybe.
Regardless of her knowledge, here she is, standing across a bonfire with a drunk Kenzi clutching a garden gnome muttering about the neighbours stealing it.
What she wanted, though, is Bo to never have given her that blasted box. With the possibility of Nadia awakening, everything became so much more scarier. She'd made her peace and honestly believe that when Nadia would get better, she'd be...
She didn't expect Bo to walk in her life.
She didn't expect to care so much for her, at first it'd been curiosity, intrigue, then Bo seduced her in a matter of moments of their first meeting. The more she helped Bo, the more she came to understand the woman, she...came to care for her.
"Hey," Lauren jumps and turns to Bo. "Sorry, didn't mean to surprise you." Still tense, Lauren grabs the glass of wine and smiles tightly.
"How's Kenzi?"
"Still traumatised from earlier today. Hence the drinking." Lauren nods and stands straighter, pushing her shoulders back to loosen her muscles. Desperately, inside of her, she tried to resist the urge to lean onto the woman, breathe her in and ask her to take everything away. It was all too much. The old Ash, the new, Nadia...Bo. "You look distracted."
Lauren parts her lips to answer, and closes them again, unable to. Bo's smile crinkles slowly into a frown before Lauren shakes her head and turns to face the fire again.
"Hey, do you want to talk about it?" Bo asks softly. Again, Lauren pauses, wanting the opposite of what she says.
"No, I...just need to think."
Bo turns to leave, and without thinking, Lauren snatches Bo's wrists and slips her hand down to entwine her fingers into the succubus'.
"You don't...you don't understand," she whispers down to the ground. "Doesn't matter," her fingers slip away and she shakes her head. Keeping her eyes to the ground, she goes to step away, leave Bo to attend Kenzi or something, before her wrist is snatched and she's pulled into Bo's arms.
Slowly, Lauren looks down at the red stain. "Damn," she mutters.
"Oh shit, sorry," Bo mutters, taking the wine from her hand and placing them on the ground. "Hey Kenz, I'm just going to help..." She looked at the woman. "Where'd you get the other garden gnome?"
Kenzi looked up and grinning toothily as she pulls the two garden gnomes closer to her. "I found it."
Bo stared at her, shaking her head before leading Lauren inside. Once inside, Lauren strips off the shirt and looks around the area before grabbing salt and pouring it onto the shirt. Really, Bo didn't care. There was a topless Lauren in her kitchen, and she was getting an eyeful of bouncing breasts.
"Where's your asdfghj."
"Boobs, ah, what?" Bo looked up and stared at Lauren. "You're distracting me."
Lauren shook her head and turned away, a small whine came from Bo before Lauren gave up, and stood, walking back over to her shirt. Bo's eyes went from the bouncing breasts to Bent over the table, looking at the wine stain, Lauren muttered under her breath. "You have a lack of proper ingre-"
Bo pushed her closer into the bench, reaching around and undoing the front of her pants. "One day," Bo murmured, "we're going to steal one of those lap coats, and you can come cook again for me in nothing but that lap coat."
She buried her face into Lauren's neck, kissing her neck. "Just a lap coat?" Lauren asked as Bo's hand slipped down the front of her pants, "Bo, I..." she closed her eyes and parted her legs before she shook her head, "Is this really wise?"
Bo grinned and released her hold on the endorphins, releasing them into Lauren. The deep moan that comes from Lauren, drags the doctor further into arousal, unable to think clearly. "You just have to relax, some TLC and maybe some not-so tender love and care." Lauren pushed against Bo's skilled hands before she shook her head.
"What if-"
"She's guarding the garden gnomes." Lauren laughs at her words before she arches up to Bo who pushes her back, bent over the table. "I like you in this position, it's new," Bo whispers. Lauren's hands strain around, to grab something to hold onto. What she wants is to dig them into Bo's back and leave her mark on the succubus' skin.
"Won't she-"
"Lauren," Bo coaxed, "do you want this? It seems like you're making many excuses to not have me..." making an example, Bo pushes harder, moving her hand easily as Lauren breathes in and rolls her head. "Because you're saying one thing, but your body is telling me the complete opposite."
"No, no, I want this, I just..." she moans again and grabs a gasp of air, "God I want this." Bo smirks, laughing as she slides in harder. Her other hand pushes on the table to keep herself steady whilst she kisses the back of Lauren's neck. "Bo..." Lauren moans, her voice higher as she gasps and a shiver runs down her spine.
"I love it when you say my name like that," she breathes out, shutting her eyes and running her lips over the bare back. Hearing Lauren's breath quickens, as she gets closer and closer and Bo slows her pace, feeling her fall back before pushing she pushes her harder. The sensation of it, is amazing. The sounds, the whimpers and moans, and the way she arches and whispers, "Bo, please," like she's asking for more and less.
If she were facing her, Bo would see her eyes roll back, her teeth run across her lips and watch them become wet as her tongue darts out. Instead she feels Lauren rolling herself into and away from the fingers.
Lauren's body aches to hold Bo against her, do the same maddening techniques, run her tongue over the body and watch Bo's stomach tighten as she gasps and rolls into Lauren's touch, but for not the first time, and not the last, she is at Bo's mercy. Not that she's complaining.
When Bo finally gives into Lauren's whispers, and flicks her thumb down the sex, curling her fingers inside to hit the spot, she hears the soft whimpers come out as a moan, demanding, wanting, finally with the next thrust and turn, Bo releases the endorphins and Lauren's body arches in front of her, clutching around her fingers as her whole body shivers and shakes.
She releases and collapses onto the table breathlessly.
Bo slowly pulls out, feeling the material of the underwear slide against her hand as she turns Lauren around and kisses her lips. Lauren breathes out between the lips and wraps her arms around Bo's waist, pulling her as close and tightly to her as she can.
Lifting her up, Bo places Lauren onto the table and trails a kiss down her neck, kissing softly as she climbs on top of Lauren and the table, pushing Lauren back down as she throws the shirt away. Cupping the back of Lauren's head, she kisses her lips over and over as she trails her hands up Lauren's waist, feeling the gentle curves.
"You," Bo kisses, "taste," another kiss, "like," a kiss on the jaw, "a," kiss on the neck, "cookie."
"There's probably a reason behind that, the pheromones-"
"Garden gnome," they hear whispered. Bo pulls away from Lauren and turns head to the window where she sees a garden gnomes bobbing up and down as Kenzi drunkenly hums a song. By the tone, and state, Lauren deducts that Kenzi isn't aware of what she's interrupted again, and is probably just bored and lonely.
"I can't see me loving anybody but you, gaaaarden gnnnoooommmmme!"
"The Turtles?" Bo questions as she pushes off Lauren. Shaking her head, she smiles at Lauren and helps her to sit up. Lauren smiles, breathlessly, and helplessly Bo feels her lips drawn back Lauren's. Words slide in her throat, wanting to be said. Instead, she pulls her lips away and watches Lauren's beautiful eyes open.
"Remind me to, um, return the favour," Lauren says as she entwines their fingers. Bo grins and looks down at the bare chest, licking her lips as ideas popped into her head.
"Trust me, I will. There will be lab coats and you speaking doctor." Lauren smiled and blushed, as Bo gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, "I'm going to go see if Kenzi's ok, she'll be going to sleep in a second."
Quickly, Lauren finishes getting most of the red out of the shirt, before she walks up stairs and throws on a singlet.
Quietly, she walks outside and stops beside Bo. "Where'd she get the third?"
"I think she's hoarding them," Bo whispers back. Lauren stares at Kenzi, who's passed out on the ground with a garden gnome in grip, one behind her, and one with her legs curled around it. "Out of curiosity, are there any fae who...shifts?"
Lauren turns and smiles at Bo as she trails her hand on the woman's back before walking over to the bonfire. She picks up her wine glass and takes a small mouthful.
She hears Kenzi mutter and role over as Bo lifts her up and takes her inside.
"Come on Kenz."
"Bo...they'll steal them, my gnomes, what'd I do without my gnomes. They guard the rainbow tree," Kenzi mutters, rolling in her arms as she clings to one of the garden gnomes. Bo smiles, rolling her eyes as she looks over her shoulder and gestures to the gnomes.
"I'll grab it," Lauren smiles.
"Don't worry about it, I'll come back for them."
