Chapter Eighteen

AN: This chapter was written to Chloe Agnew's cover of "Walking in the Air" for soon-to-be-obvious reasons.

Anyone who saw Tamsin and Bo would've thought they were drunk from the way they were giggling and falling over each other. Every so often Bo would turn her head to kiss Tamsin's cheek only to find that Tamsin had had the same idea, their lips meeting with dazed giddiness. Bo was so focused on Tamsin – just memorizing the light in her eyes and the quirk of her lips in a smile – that it took her a moment to realize the Valkyrie had led them farther back behind the Dal instead of to her truck. The succubus gave Tamsin a curious look as the blonde moved to stand in front of her, biting her lip as she took the brunette's hands in hers.

"Bo, do you trust me?"

"With my life," the succubus breathed without hesitation.

Tamsin's smile was bright but there was a devious twinkle in her eye. Placing her hands on Bo's shoulders, the Valkyrie gently turned her around until the succubus's back was pressed against her. The blonde then slid her hands around Bo's waist before crossing her arms over her chest, reaching up to grab the brunette's shoulders. "Hook your ankles behind mine," she murmured in Bo's ear, and the succubus obeyed carefully, knowing that Tamsin's hold was the only thing keeping her from falling forwards. Bo's only warning was a glimpse of Tamsin's wings in her peripheral before the Valkyrie launched them into the air.

Bo shrieked in delight as Tamsin brought them higher and higher into the night with each powerful beat of her wings. The blonde banked right over the sweep of the city before straightening out, catching an updraft and gliding lazily along. Bo laughed and spread her arms as a child pretending to fly, except she was – she was actually flying in the embrace of her Valkyrie, the two of them soaring out over the city limits and over the lightly-forested countryside.

Tamsin glanced down at the woman in her arms and grinned at the expression on Bo's face. The succubus was gaping even as she smiled in awe, taking in every inch of the expanse below them and the stars at her fingertips. As if sensing the Valkyrie's gaze, Bo twisted her head around to look into the fathomless depths of her love's eyes in that skeletal face that was somehow still so beautiful. "This is amazing!" Bo shouted to be heard above the wind. Tamsin smiled wider and pressed a kiss to Bo's cheek as the succubus turned back to look out at the landscape below.

They flew in silence for a time, simply enjoying the sensation of soaring aimlessly through the night, just the two of them drifting above the world. Bo eventually turned her head back to look at Tamsin again. "Can you flip me over?" she asked, just loud enough for the Valkyrie to hear but not so loud as to disturb the windblown starlight around them.

Tamsin nodded before turning them both over so Bo lay atop her. "Hurry," she told the succubus, and Bo complied, unhooking her ankles and spinning in Tamsin's embrace to wrap her legs around the blonde. Tamsin tightened her arms around Bo as she rolled back, holding her love close as they continued their journey. Bo snuggled up against the blonde with a happy sigh, enjoying the weightless closeness they shared.

Tamsin was content to carry her love through the night, but her attention to flying faltered when she felt Bo's hand unbuttoning her jeans. "Bo, what are you doing?" she asked, breath hitching as she felt the succubus's questing fingers trace the hem of her underwear.

"Testing your concentration," Bo chuckled, slipping her hand lower to tease Tamsin's folds.

"B-Bo, I won't be able to fly," the Valkyrie gasped.

"Yes you will," Bo assured her. "I trust you." Tamsin didn't have time to protest before the succubus's fingers danced across her clit.

The Valkyrie moaned and gripped Bo tighter as the succubus drew delicate patterns on her sensitive bud, teasing and pressing until Tamsin was quivering under her touch. The wind carried the blonde's whimpered keening to Bo's ears, and the succubus smiled and pressed a kiss to Tamsin's neck as she slid her fingers into the wet heat of her center. The Valkyrie's moans doubled in pitch as Bo gently stroked within her. The succubus chanced a look at Tamsin's face and something about that primal visage contorted in pleasure sent a surge of arousal to Bo's own core. Adjusting the angle of her wrist, Bo slipped deeper within Tamsin until her fingertips brushed that sensitive skin that made the Valkyrie shiver in delight. The blonde had to fight not to buck her hips as Bo quickened her thrusts and rubbed her thumb in circles against her sensitive clit. It wasn't long before the elation of flying and the feeling of Bo moving within her had Tamsin crying out her release to the stars, shuddering all the way to the tips of her wings.

Bo gently withdrew and redid the buttons on Tamsin's jeans but not before tasting the remnants of the blonde's climax on her fingers. The Valkyrie was still breathing heavily and when Bo wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck and nestled against her chest, she could feel the rapid pounding of her heart. When Tamsin had regained her breath, she bent her head to whisper in the succubus's ear.

"I love you, Bo," she murmured, kissing her cheek again. The brunette felt the Valkyrie's lips curve into a smile. "Now hold tight."

Bo gasped and clung to Tamsin with arms and legs alike as one of the Valkyrie's hands left her back to unbutton her pants. "Tamsin…"

"Turnabout, succubus," the blonde purred, repeating her words from their morning together. "Now that we've established that I can concentrate through anything…" she trailed off as she slid her hand between Bo's legs. The succubus could only groan as Tamsin began to tease her clit.

The Valkyrie was rougher than Bo, pressing hard against the tight bundle of nerves before lightly tugging and twisting in ways that had the brunette whimpering in pain-laced pleasure. The blonde was relentless in her assault, and when her fingers finally pressed into Bo's core, the succubus was gripping the Valkyrie with bruising force as she gasped and moaned. Bo found that her hold on Tamsin allowed her the freedom to move her hips and she bucked against the blonde's hand, sending her questing fingers deeper. Tamsin continued to thumb the brunette's clit as she danced her fingertips against the deepest pleasure in her core, relishing the sound of Bo's cries in her ears. The blonde pounded hard and fast into the succubus, feeling her walls begin to clench around her fingers. "I've got you, Bo," she murmured in her ear. "Come for me." And Bo did, soaring in Tamsin's arms as they soared through the sky. The sense of both weightlessness and safety prolonged Bo's climax until she was shuddering and gasping against Tamsin.

The Valkyrie waited until Bo was completely still before removing her hand, also lifting her fingers to taste the brunette's release before redoing her pants. Bo sighed happily, once again snuggling into Tamsin's embrace. There was content silence for a moment before Bo looked up at the blonde. "Does this count as joining the mile-high club?"

Tamsin's laughter rang out into the night as she banked left and around, taking them back towards the city.

…

Tamsin landed them softly and gently back behind the Dal, letting Bo regain her footing before retracting her wings. The brunette would have staggered had she not still been clinging to the blonde. After taking a minute to get used to having the ground beneath her again, Bo pulled her Valkyrie into a fierce kiss.

"Thank you," she murmured against her lips. "That was…I can't even begin to describe it." She deepened the kiss a moment before pulling away. "Tá grá agam duit, Tamsin."

Starlight sparkled in Tamsin's gaze as she smiled at Bo. "I love you, too, mo laoch." She kissed her again, quickly but firmly. "Now, let's go home. I'm not nearly done with you."

Bo giggled, wrapping her arms around Tamsin's waist. "I should hope not."

And Tamsin wasn't – not by far. Succubus and Valkyrie tumbled together again and again until the first rays of dawn crept across their exhausted forms, lulling them to sleep in each other's embrace.
