Author's Note: Thanks for the continued reviews! I know I received some unhappy reviews and messages regarding the Bo-Dyson relationship, but please know that I have the characters best interests and needs in mind. I'll understand if you decide not to follow, but it's only the twelfth chapter and I'm enjoying exploring each character's relationships. What's the point of reading a story that you definitely know the answer to? There's no fun in that. Anways, here's chapter 12... hope you approve :)

Chapter 12

Bo/Dyson

Bo and Dyson arrived back at the Dal around 7pm. They had been practicing hand-to-hand combat and medieval fighting techniques for eight hours straight. Bo was sure if she heard anything more about the "German longsword" or Dyson yelling at her to "sidestep, duck, dodge and slip" she was going to lose her mind. Though her skills with the German ongsword came back rather quickly, she still felt extremely out of place. The hand-to-hand combat was a lot easier considering she had been doing that for three years in her PI service. The only part that was difficult was Dyson, his strength and quickness made him a lot more brutal to face than your average human.

"Wow, this place definitely gets busy at night." Bo said while entering the Dal behind Dyson. "There's a ton of people in here….and the sexual energy is out of control."

Dyson grinned knowingly at the succubus as her eyes flared blue momentarily. "The Dal is a Fae exclusive pub and is over a century old. It's a waypoint for visitors to check in. It used to be neutral ground between Dark and Light, but now there's only Dark around here so I guess that really doesn't apply anymore. Light visitors are still welcomed as long as they check in even though it's rarely happens."

"Why doesn't it happen that often?" Bo asked

"Light from other territories know that the Dark took over here. They also think that all Light Fae here willingly joined the Morrigan and pledged their allegiance to the Dark…they basically view all of us as traitors now." Dyson answered, while walking up to the bar to order a round of drinks.

"But they didn't…the Morrigan manipulated and erased their memories so she could create a stronger Dark without having the Light step in….right?" Bo repeated, trying to remember all of this new information correctly.

"Right…since the Morrigan didn't openly attack the Light or start a war with them, it looks like the Light joined forces with her willingly. If there's no sign of fowl play…Light Fae from other territories aren't going to waste there resources investigating a problem that isn't theirs." Dyson answered, taking a sip of his beer before sliding Bo's over to her.

"Why wouldn't other Light Fae leaders care that one of their allies pledged themselves to the other side?" Bo asked.

"There's so many Dark and Light territories all over the world that are a lot stronger and more powerful than here. Losing one small group of Light who willingly pledged themselves to the other side, isn't really a big deal to everyone else." Dyson explained sadly.

"Well it's important to me, you, Kenzi, Lauren and Trick now." Bo said, rubbing her hand up and down his arm reassuringly. "After I make it through the trails, we'll figure this out…I promise you."

As she rubbed Dyson's strong arm, she felt this familiar ache and pull in her stomach. Thinking back to their conversation this morning and how Dyson reacted to her touch, she couldn't help wondering what their relationship was like before. She asked herself repeatedly if they used to be close friends, lovers or more. Bo knew she felt something for Dyson, she just couldn't decide what it was or if she should pursue it. What she felt for Lauren was a lot stronger than this, hell she could barely speak to the woman without ripping her clothes off. But what she felt for Dyson was there too, maybe not as strong and out of control like her relationship with Lauren, but something was definitely there.

"So…Did we used to come here a lot to hang out?" Bo asked, trying her best to get her mind back on track.

"Yeah, we actually hung out a lot on that sofa back there in the corner." Dyson answered, using his empty hand to direct her to the vacant sofa across the room. "Would you like to go sit down, for old time's sake?"

"Absolutely." Bo replied quickly. "My whole body is achy and sore, sitting would definitely be amazing right now."

The pair grabbed their drinks and quickly walked over to the empty sofa, too tired to say hi or start a conversation with any of the Fae in the pub.

"Kenzi told me you had something to talk to me about earlier today…Do you still want to talk about it?" Bo said quickly as she took a seat on the sofa close to Dyson.

"I actually think it's better if we wait until the Trials are over." Dyson grumbled out, not too sure of what he should be doing right now. "It's nothing bad, I just want to wait for a better and more productive time to tell you."

"Oh." Bo huffed out, trying her best not to show her disappointment. "Can I ask you something then? It's something that's been bothering me since we showed up here."

"Sure, you can always ask me anything." Dyson replied, looking at her eagerly.

"Who's Nadia?" She asked casually. "I mean she's the one who brought us here and no one has told us a thing about her, the only thing we know is that she used to date Lauren."

Dyson shifted uncomfortably in his chair, unsure how to approach this topic without pissing the succubus off. "Nadia was human and had fallen into a comma for many years. Lauren thought she had caught a plague while they were in the Congo doing research, that's why she agreed to align herself with the Light. The acting Ash at the time promised her unlimited resources in order to find a cure for the plague that caused Nadia to go into a comma. Lauren researched for five years, but came up with nothing. Eventually, we ended up finding out that the Ash cursed Nadia so he could have Lauren as his supervising doctor. After that Ash died, you ended up working out a deal with the new Ash and broke the curse on Nadia. When Nadia awoke she seemed fine at first, but she became very ill and tried killing Lauren multiple times. In the end, you had to stab and kill Nadia because Lauren was unable to do it herself. You had no other option, Nadia was never going to get better."

Bo stared at him blankly, mouth wide open in complete horror. Unable to respond or even begin to process anything, Bo chugged the rest of her drink and placed it slowly on the table in front of them.

"If I stabbed her and killed her like you're saying…how did she end up on the side of the road?" Bo finally whispered out. "When your police division found her, they reported that there weren't any wounds or illnesses...that's why they declared it as heart failure based on 'lack of evidence'."

"My detective partner, Hale, and I covered it up. That's why we work as detectives in the human world." Dyson responded calmly. "We monitor and cover up anything Fae that happens in the human world. We do this to protect our kind."

"If you guys cover up everything anyways, than why bother sticking her body through the portal." Bo asked annoyed.

"Nadia had passed away awhile ago, way before you and Lauren got together and bonded. We were unaware that the Morrigan had gotten her hands on the body, we thought Nadia had been given the proper burial." Dyson answered as best he could. "We found out a few weeks ago that Nadia's body was being used as a test subject for the Dark Fae. Shortly after Trick and I found out about it, we came up with a plan to get her body back to her mother while getting you and Kenzi back to us. I know it sounds terrible, but it was actually one of the best ways to fix everything all at once. We ended up breaking into the lab and stealing the body. Once we got back here we placed her body through the portal so the Morrigan couldn't track who took it or how it got out of our territory. We also knew that somehow it would lead you back to us without blowing our cover."

"So when you found the body on the side of the road where the portal opened it, you knew that I would take the case because that's the same exact place where Kenzi and I were found." Bo repeated, trying to understand everything herself. "And you also knew that Nadia's body would be returned safely to her parents."

"Correct." Dyson replied, finally finishing his drink. "Please don't tell Lauren, she doesn't remember any of this and also doesn't need to. Eventually we will get our memories back and she'll remember on her own. I just don't want her to get upset and blow her cover with the Morrigan, they do work very closely together."

Just as Bo was about to voice her agreement, she was started by a very drunk and very rowdy Kenzi.

"BO! You HAVE to try these Fae shots! THEY MAKE YOUR MOUTH NUMB!" Kenzi yelled as she stumbled over and sat on her best friends lap.

"Some other time Kenzi, Dyson and I are in the middle of an important conversation." Bo said, scooting her friend off her lap and onto the sofa so she was seated between her and Dyson.

"You better not be starting trouble with my BFF." Kenzi mumbled, pointing a drunk finger at Dyson. "I know all about you wolf boy, and if you fuck shit up before the Trials…I will personally kick your doggy ass."

Dyson gave her a questioning look, unable to tell just how much Kenzi actually knew. Not wanting her to blow everything out of proportion before the Trials, he decided to be honest and tell her the truth. "We were just talking about Nadia. I told Bo how the body ended up on the side of the road and explained everything to her. I'm sure she'll tell you all about it in the morning when you're hungover."

"You better not be lying to me D-Man." Kenzi said as she looked between him and Bo. "Bo is this true?"

"Yes, Kenzi. I have a lot to explain to you in the morning." Bo replied softly, unable to tell if Kenzi was just drunk or if she actually knew something that she didn't know. "We should get you to bed…C'mon I'll walk you to your room."

Without waiting for Kenzi to respond, Bo picked her up from the sofa and gave Dyson an apologetic look. "I'll see you in the morning?"

"I'll pick you up around 10." Dyson said while standing up from the sofa. "I should try getting some sleep too, I haven't trained like that in a really long time."

Bo smiled softly at him before turning to walk through the crowded bar towards the basement stairs. Once she managed to get to the bottom of the stairs without falling or dropping Kenzi on her face, she walked into the first guest room and placed her best friend on the bed. It wasn't a shock to her that Kenzi managed to pass out during the two minute walk from the sofa to the bed. After laying her unconscious body comfortably onto the bed, she quickly took Kenzi's boots off and placed a blanket over her. She was making her final adjustments to the blanket when she felt a warm body press itself against her, gently kissing the back of her neck.

"Hi." Lauren said, continuing to trail kisses down the back of her neck while wrapping her arms around the succubus.

Bo instantly leaned into the soft touches, while Lauren's scent and presence engulfed her entire body. He eyes flashed blue almost instantaneously while a deep growl resonated from her chest.

"Do you always growl when someone touches you or does that just happen with me?" Lauren laughed into Bo's neck as she continued her assault.

Bo quickly spun herself in Lauren's arms and pushed her forcefully against the guest room's dresser. She wasted no time crashing her lips into Lauren's while eagerly sticking her hands under Lauren's shirt to grasp her soft breasts firmly.

"Only with you." Bo mumbled while she sucked on Lauren's bottom lip, begging for entrance. "I can't control it…"

Lauren opened her mouth up to Bo as their tongues began to duel for dominance. Soon the room was filled with soft moans and whimpers as the pair continued to explore one another.

"You seem to have a list of things you can't control when you're around me…" Lauren whimpered as she felt Bo's hand drift from her breasts to the top of her jeans, then down her underwear completely. "Bo you can't be serious right now…Kenzi is literally passed out two feet away from us."

Bo continued her assault on Lauren's lips and neck while she firmly pressed her two fingers into Lauren's wet folds and started moving them back and forth in quick, long motions. As she began to move her fingers faster and faster against her nub, she could feel Lauren's hand latch itself onto Bo's forearm in an attempt to still her movements.

"Is there a problem doctor?" Bo hummed into her neck while thrusting her hips into Lauren, causing the dresser to slam back and forth into the wall behind it.

"We need to…We can't do this here." Lauren tried to croak out, feeling the succubae's fingers enter her forcefully causing her to slam back into the dresser again. "God….Bo stop… we're being really loud."

"Do you really want me to stop?" Bo asked as she slammed her hips and fingers into Lauren while simultaneously pulsing waves of pleasure into her.

"NO!" Lauren screamed out while getting pounded faster and faster against the dresser. "That's cheating…you can't…use your powers."

Bo didn't listen as she dove her fingers deeper and harder into Lauren's soaked center. She could tell Lauren was close by the way her core clenched around her finger with every pulse of energy. It only took her three more thrusts before Lauren wrapped herself completely around Bo, screaming and clenching while she rocked the last of her orgasm out against Bo's fingers. She lifted Lauren up and placed her softly on top of the dresser while she remained wrapped in her embrace. As she kissed Lauren's neck she began to slowly withdraw her fingers from doctor's core.

"Don't." Lauren said as she grabbed onto Bo's forearm again to still her movements. "I need a minute before you take them out…I…I'm really sensitive right now."

Bo looked at Lauren's glazed over eyes with a huge grin on her face. "Looks like I'm not the only one who can't last long…"

"You cheated." Lauren said, adjusting herself on Bo's fingers while burying her head into her neck.

"You cheated last time." Bo laughed out as she slowly wiggled her fingers inside of Lauren.

"Bo! Cut it out!" Lauren half yelled, slapping Bo's forearm. "Can you please carry me into your room, I really don't want to be here when Kenzi wakes up."

Bo lifted her up easily and carried her out into the hallway and towards her guestroom, not daring to move her fingers out of the Doctor's core until she said so. "So when can we have round 3 of this control game?"
