Faenonymous: Chapter 9

Bo/Lauren

"A soulbond is a bond between two people, who feel drawn to become devoted friends and lovers. The bond may be something that brings them together, or something that results from their being together. To finalize the soulbond there is usually a 'mating' ritual or ceremony that unites the two souls permanently. Once completed, it is an unbreakable and irresistible force. Sometimes a soulbond can even persist after the death of one or both partners." Lauren informed Bo as she shifted uncomfortably in her stool. "As far as the side effects go, it differs between species. Most soulbonds are performed between wolves since they mate for life, but it is possible for other species of Fae, such as fairies and elves to soulbond. To be honest, I thought it was impossible for a succubus to perform such a bond…"

"I actually looked into that once Dyson told me about what happened at your apartment." Trick replied as he pulled a large, warn book from underneath the bar counter. "Since succubae can feed of a person's life essence and also pass their life essence into another being, it is not impossible for a succubus to complete a soulbond. It's just very, very rare because succubae feed off sexual energy or essence regularly and usually need more than one partner to sustain them."

"Hold on a second…" Bo said as she ripped the book from Tricks hand and started flipping through pages rapidly. "Are you saying that I can breathe my energy into people? How? I've never done that before!"

"Yes you have, you just don't remember." Trick said as he stilled her movements. "By breathing your essence back into people, you can not only bond with them but revive them. Usually reviving someone is common if a succubus chooses that he or she deserves to live. I'm sure combining your life essence with another requires much more work, since this is the first time I've heard of it, I'm not sure how it works exactly."

"As interesting as this bonding crap is, I'm extremely drunk and tired." Kenzi slurred as she stumbled up from her stool. "Wanna direct me to the closest couch, table or bed?"

"There's a room available downstairs…first door on the left." Trick answered. "Please stay out of my office down there, and try not to touch anything."

Kenzi grabbed the tequila bottle off of the counter and drunkenly walked herself across the Dal's floor to the stairs before slurring out, "You got it Trickster."

"You never told us about the side effects." Lauren asked, trying to get Trick's attention back on track.

"Usually after a soulbond is completed… the united pair spends days, if not weeks consummating the bond…" Trick answered, blushing slightly at the awkwardness of his voice. "Newly bonded souls have an overbearing need and want to be as close together as possible. It tends to dim down after a few weeks, but the need is always there. That's likely the reason why Bo is having a difficult time around you. Bonded souls are never away from each other for more than a few days. You guys have been separated for three years…"

Bo smiled eagerly at this new information. At first she thought she was going crazy. Ever since she saw the picture of Lauren in her apartment, she constantly thought about her. She daydreamed about her naked, what her voice sounded like when she screamed in ecstasy, how her lab coat fit every curve of her body perfectly, even her scent made her wet with desire.

"We should probably consummate as soon as possible then." Bo said as she trailed her hand up Lauren's thigh underneath the bar.

"BO!" Lauren yelled, slapping Bo's hand off of her thigh. "You literally just fed from me twice within four hours….you can't possibly be hungry again!"

"I'm not hungry, I won't feed…I just want you." Bo said sheepishly as she tried to hide her glowing blue eyes.

"Wait…Did you just say that Bo has fed from you twice within a four hour time period?" Trick asked completely shocked by this new information. "That's impossible for a human. It should take you more than four hours to recover from one feeding."

Lauren stood from her stool and bent down to the floor, grabbing her laptop from her black computer bag and quickly placing in on the bar counter. "I ran a few tests after Bo left the lab because I also found it curious that I was able to sustain her in such a short period of time. Actually…I probably could have sustained her several more times, I wasn't fatigued at all."

"How many more times?" Bo asked eagerly, grinning at the thought of having Lauren multiple times in one day.

"Enough to keep you on your toes…" Lauren said slyly and she scanned her computer screen.

At these words, Bo's eyes were instantly gleaming bright blue again. She quickly got off her stool to stand behind Lauren, wrapping her hands around her waist and burying her head into Lauren's neck.

"Really…" Bo whispered seductively, inching her hands up under Lauren's white blouse.

Trick awkwardly stood behind the bar trying his best not to make eye contact with either of them. Knowing they were both oblivious to his presence, he coughed loudly into his hand in attempt to bring the pair back to reality.

"So what did the tests conclude?" He asked quickly.

"I'm not really sure, I've never seen anything like it before. It seems like my whole genetic makeup has been altered, almost like I'm part Fae." Lauren answered as she removed Bo's hand from under her shirt, knowing that the succubus would not back away completely. "I guess I never really had a reason to run tests on myself until now, but take a look at these DNA and blood test results."

Lauren turned her laptop around so Trick could view the screen along with her and Bo. "As you can see, my body has gone through the process of mutagenesis. In order for this to have happened, some outside substance must have triggered the change to my genetic code because mutation does not occur by itself."

"I have no idea what you're talking about…" Bo said as she looked over Lauren's shoulder at the screen.

"Basically, I was fully human before the soulbond and now I'm not. After we bonded, my chromosomes and genetic makeup have completely changed. Some outside element, which I'm assuming was your chi or life essence, attacked my genetic code and altered it. Instead of having two chromosomes, I now have three." Lauren explained, still looking intently at her screen. "As far as I can tell, there are no negative side effects. I seem to have increased stamina, which is probably why you're able to feed from me so frequently. I'm not sure what other abilities I might have, it's more of a trial and error experiment at this time."

Trick began to pace back and forth behind the bar. He had never heard of anything like this in all the centuries of his life. This shouldn't be such a shock considering he's never heard of a Fae bonding with a human or a succubus bonding with anyone. Even when one species of Fae bonds its soul to another, their genetic makeup does not alter. This is most likely due to the fact that Fae perform souldbonds in different ways depending on their species. Either way, if the Morrigan or any Fae found out that Bo not only bonded with a human, but altered their genetics as well, things could get out of control quickly.

"Is that why you taste so good to me?" Bo asked, bringing Trick out of his current state of turmoil. "I don't think I have ever tasted anything as good as you, it's completely satisfying."

"Yes, that could definitely be one of the reasons. Since it's your essence that increased my stamina and altered my genetics, it's likely that I produce extra amounts of energy specifically for you." Lauren explained as she turned herself in Bo's arm in order to face her. "I know as much as you do at this point. Is there anything else that makes me different than other people…scientifically speaking?"

"Your aura glows really bright, brighter than anyone I've ever seen. It changes color too, but it always alternates between red, orange and yellow." Bo said, kissing her softly on the lips before trailing down her neck. "Sometimes it glows so bright it makes it almost impossible for me to be around you without touching you."

Lauren grabbed Bo's face and gently brought her mouth back to hers.

"Really?" She mumbled into Bo's lips between kisses. "What color am I now?"

"Red." Bo responded breathlessly.

"How do you know that? You didn't even bother to look?" Lauren smiled into Bo's lips.

"You always burn hot red around me, especially when I'm touching you." Bo said, finally removing her lips away from Lauren's in order to look at her. "After I feed from you, you're usually yellow. Then as time passes it slowly builds to orange and eventually red. The hotter you burn, the more I need you. Like actually need you- it's like I lose control over myself and I black out."

"It seems like the bond not only affected you, but Bo too." Trick finally chimed in. "Since Bo has been feeding from you regularly; she hasn't blacked out and has seemed to remain in control over her more primal instincts."

"I'm really full too. I have been since the first time I fed from her. The only reason I fed from her again was because I needed to heal, not because I was hungry." Bo said, looking from Lauren to Trick. "It's five in the morning and I honestly feel perfectly fine, I'm fully energized."

"I need to research this further." Trick said as he mindlessly walked to the stairs. "I'm going to my study, we can finish this conversation tomorrow. Lauren, it might be a good idea to stay close to Bo for now, especially with the trials coming up. If what she's saying is true, she's going to need all the energy she can get. Now that you two have reunited, we don't know the effects this bond will have if you're separated. It seems like the bond is strengthening by the minute, we don't how it will affect you two over time."

Lauren was about to respond when she noticed Trick had already scrambled down the stairs to his study.

"Bo, you know I can't be around you that much. The Morrigan told you to stay away from me." She said as she looked back at Bo. "Your eyes are blue again…I thought you said you weren't hungry."

"I'm not…" Bo mumbled sadly as she wrapped her arms tighter around Lauren and buried her head into the crook of Lauren's neck. "You're burning really hot right now, so hot it's almost blinding. All of my senses are in overdrive…I'm having an extremely hard time controlling myself. It's already five in the morning, can you please stay a few hours and I'll bring you back before the Morrigan wakes up?"

Lauren breathed in the scent of Bo's shampoo and sighed intently. She hadn't felt this relaxed and this perfect since she could remember. Even though she barely knew Bo, everything about this felt right, like she had known her for her entire life. If Trick was right, maybe it would be easier for Bo to control herself around her if they spent more time together. She knew she was having a hard time being away from the succubus, she couldn't imagine what Bo was going through. Deciding that she could probably spend a few more hours here without the Morrigan noticing, she decided to see if Bo's control had actually improved since their initial meeting.

She slowly moved her hands from Bo's waist and gently slipped them under her shirt. She began to run smoothing circles over Bo's toned stomach with the back of her fingers, trying her best to tempt the succubus slowly. She could already feel Bo's muscles tighten more and more as every circle was drawn. Within seconds she felt herself being pushed back into the bar counter gently as Bo's grip tightened around her waist.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Bo." Lauren hummed out as continued to draw small circles higher and higher on Bo's stomach. "Plus, you've already had me twice today…"

Bo moved her hands gracefully from Lauren's waist to her back, and slowly up her blouse. Without removing her head from Lauren's neck, she quickly released the clasp of Lauren's bra and moved her hands to cup each bare breast gently.

"I thought I told you it wasn't wise to tease a succubus." Bo purred into Lauren's ear while massaging each breast firmly with her warm palms.

"I thought Trick said you were in control of your more 'primal' instincts'…" Lauren retorted as she moved one of her thighs between Bo's legs and slowly pressed up against her center, earning a deep growl from the succubus. "Looks like you're having some difficulties…"

Bo removed her face from Lauren's neck and softly kissed her on the lips, taking deep breaths in between in hopes to remain in control. She knew what Lauren was doing and there was no way in hell she was losing this control game. Tearing her lips away from Lauren's, she slowly pulsed energy into both of Lauren's breasts while continuing to knead them firmly.

Instantly a deep moan ripped through Lauren's chest as she grabbed firmly onto Bo's stomach, refusing to let herself drop to the floor.

"Cheater…" Lauren whimpered out between ragged breaths. "Is that the only way you know how to win…to use your powers on me?"

Bo stopped her ministrations instantly upon hearing Lauren's taunts and glared at her through burning blue eyes.

"I have full control over myself with or without my powers…" She informed Lauren, trying her best to convince herself that this was true. "I didn't need to pulse energy into you… I just did it to make you feel better."

"Really?" Lauren questioned as she began to unbutton her blouse. "If I had to make an accurate hypothesis on the current situation…I would say that you will lose control before I do."

"I…I disagree" Bo choked out as she watched Lauren drop her blouse and unclasped bra to the ground.

Lauren leaned back and rested both of her elbows on the bar counter behind her, forcing her perky breasts and naked torso to jet out towards Bo.

"I guess you should take me down to your room so we can put an end to this disagreement." Lauren said flatly as she began to undo the button of her jeans.
