As soon as they were transported back to the penthouse, the travel fae disappeared and Bo was on Lauren. She was like a woman possessed, who needed to consume the blonde in front of her. She pulled Lauren close so their bodies were aligned perfectly and sunk her hands into soft blonde hair. Her mouth slanted over Lauren's and she kissed her as if her life depended on it. Lauren responded immediately, her lips parting causing Bo to let out a deep moan.
Suddenly Lauren heard a noise, stiffened and pulled away from Bo, eyes still wild and her chest rising with each breathe she tried to regain. Bo growled, her succubus unhappy at the interruption, but before she could say anything, Lauren turned slightly to look just beyond her and frowned. Bo turned to see what Lauren was looking at, and was surprised to see Vex, perched on the couch, a bowl of popcorn in his lap, happily munching away while he watched the two of them. "Carry on ladies, don't mind me, I promise I will be quiet as a mouse," he grinned lasciviously.
"Vex," Lauren ground out. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
Vex held up his hands innocently. "Hey, I will just waiting for you to get back, wanted to make sure everything was okay. Not my fault you rug munchers can't keep your hands to yourselves."
Lauren rolled her eyes at the Mesmer. "All is good Vex, back to 100%. Now can you please leave?"
"Leave? Why would I leave now? This is gonna be awesome!" he squealed, tossing another handful of popcorn into his mouth and burrowing back down onto the couch.
"I'll get you for this. Come on Bo," Lauren threatened as she grabbed Bo's hand and dragged her towards her bedroom. She knew Vex was just messing with her, but she wasn't so sure Bo knew that and she really did want her girlfriend naked as soon as possible.
As she was closing the door to her room, she heard Vex yelling after her. "You were more fun when you weren't gettin' any!"
Shaking her head, she turned back to Bo who was staring at her curiously. "Is he always like this?"
"Most of the time, yes. He was just messing with me now though. He would have eventually left, but that would have taken too much time. I should have had you screaming my name by now."
Bo's eyes flashed blue immediately and she grabbed Lauren's waist, pushing her into the door, her mouth already latched on to her neck and her thigh pressed between her legs. Lauren moaned and pushed herself up a few inches to get more friction, Bo's thigh hitting her exactly where she needed. She tilted her head back giving Bo more access and found her hands scrambling to find purchase on something to ground her. She needed to come very badly, but she also wanted to feel Bo naked and on top of her when she did, so she used what little thread of conscious thought she had left and pushed gently on the succubus, panting out "Bo….bed…naked…"
Bo nodded and grabbed Lauren's ass, lifting her from the door and spinning around to deposit her on the bed. She was pretty sure Bo had gotten her pants off before she even landed, which her scientific mind vaguely recognized as an impressive feat, even for a succubus. Her shirt and the succubus' clothes soon followed, and she groaned in pleasure when she felt Bo's naked body on top of hers. There was no place on earth more she would rather be, underneath the most beautiful woman she had ever laid eyes on, needy and aroused and anticipating what she knew would be a mind-blowing orgasm. Feeling Bo's fingers enter her, she let out a low growl and reached up to pull her down into a scorching kiss.
The power from the temple was still coursing through her veins, heightening all of her senses. She could hear every breathe Bo was taking, smell her distinctive leather and floral bouquet, see every bead of sweat on her forehead and god, could she feel her fingers inside of her, working her expertly to the point where she was going to explode.
Needing air, she broke the kiss and started moving her hips in time with Bo's thrusts. She looked up into the most mesmerizing pair of cobalt blue eyes, the glow bathing Bo in an ethereal light. "Come for me Lauren," Bo whispered and Lauren didn't need to be asked twice. Her orgasm broke around her, her whole body exploding into a million sparks of pleasure, Bo's name leaving her mouth on a scream. Bo kept her fingers inside, slowly working Lauren and prolonging her pleasure. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Lauren returned to her senses, a goofy smile on her face.
Bo was still gazing down at her affectionately. "Are you okay? Did I break you?"
Lauren chuckled and reached up to wrap her hand behind Bo's neck and kiss her softly. "Not broken, just amazingly satisfied. Don't let it go to your head though."
"I'm a succubus, of course it is going to go to my head. You are beautiful when you come, you know that?"
Lauren blushed and surprised Bo by flipping their positions, finding herself now straddling the succubus. "Mmmmm. Let's see if I can't return the favor and see how beautiful you are," Lauren whispered before doing just that.

Lauren couldn't wipe the grin off her face as she walked through the halls of the Light Fae complex on her way to meet Lachlan. Her afternoon with Bo was amazing, all four rounds. She was thankful for her new fae status so she had the stamina to keep up with the succubus. She also wondered what it would have been like if they had met when Lauren was still human – she was sure the attraction would still have been there, but she wasn't sure how she would have dealt with Bo not really being able to feed on her. Thankfully it wasn't really something she needed to stress about, but it still piqued her curiosity.
She had called ahead this time, so Lachlan was expecting her. She carried her medical bag with her, with several specimen jars and moleskins to aid in the venom extraction. If she was honest, she was a little excited to do this since she had never seen a Naga in its fae form. Much like her, Lachlan kept his species close to the vest.
Knocking on his office and hearing the reply to come in, Lauren walked inside the large room and saw Lachlan gazing pensively out his window. Ever since the meeting at Trick's, she had been seeing a different side to the egotistical asshole who had been her owner. This version was more respectful and introspective, and she wondered why he had changed his tune with her.
"Good afternoon Lachlan, is now still a good time," she asked, drawing his attention away from the window. Nodding, he moved closer in to the room, gesturing her towards a small table in the corner of his office. There were two chairs and he took one, offering Lauren the other. Sitting down, she placed her bag on the table and began removing the supplies she would need.
"Always very efficient Lauren. Glad to see some things haven't changed."
Lauren looked up, not knowing if that was meant as an insult or not, but when she saw the fond expression on his face, she frowned. "Why are you acting as if you like me all of a sudden?"
Lachlan chuckled and then became very serious. "I have always liked you Lauren. But liking you and needing you to stay with the Light were not always compatible. The elders were petrified of you leaving and I had to keep a tight leash on you to prevent them from doing something worse."
"So you being an asshole was to protect me?" Lauren scoffed.
Lachlan watched her silently for a few moments. "I know you killed the elder and the orderly."
"That was never proved."
"No it wasn't, no DNA, no security footage. But I told you before I am paranoid. I have my own private cameras spread out throughout the compound. I saw the elder refuse the shot, saw the orderly hold you down and force it on you, and I saw what you turned into and what you did to them after."
Lauren sat there in shock. She had no idea there were more security cameras, but Lachlan had to be telling the truth since there was no way he would have known those details any other way.
"But you….you didn't turn me in?"
Lachlan shook his head. "Like I said, I always liked you Lauren, despite the fact that my actions seemed contrary to that. I knew if the elders had found out they would have killed you on the spot and you didn't deserve that. You did a remarkable job of covering your tracks, so I deleted the video and let the mystery live on."
Lauren could do nothing but blink and stare while she processed what Lachlan was telling her. He knew, all this time he knew what she had done and he hadn't said a word. He had saved her life by not revealing the video. She didn't know what to say.
"I…I don't even know what to say."
"You don't need to say anything Lauren. The fae owed you so much and you didn't deserve to die for something you had no control of. Call it my apology for being an ass," he smiled.
Lauren nodded and looked into his eyes, genuine emotion showing. "Thank you," was all she could say.
"You are welcome, now I think we need to move past this sentimental stuff and get down to the business of stopping the Garuda. Do you have what you need to extract my venom?"
Snapping back into doctor mode, a place she was far more comfortable in then the alternate universe where Lachlan was a standup guy she had just left, she looked down at her supplies and nodded her affirmation.
"I have some specimen jars covered with moleskin that should simulate a fang puncturing its victim, triggering the release of the venom."
"Great, let's go for it then," he said as he closed his eyes, Lauren watching in fascination. Opening them again, his handsome features became distorted, and as he opened his mouth, Lauren could see the row of fangs peeking out from his lips.
"Have you ever seen a Naga before?" he asked, his voice raspier than before. Lauren shook her head as she eyed the sharp teeth before her. "You may be one of the last too, as well. Where is that jar?"
Reaching down, Lauren grabbed one of the jars and held it up under Lachlan's chin. He leaned over, and pressed the top set of his fangs into the jar. Within a few seconds, Lauren could see a viscous liquid start to seep out, dripping slowly into the container. She held it there, being careful to watch the liquid and not make eye contact with Lachlan. His revelation had thrown her for a loop and she was feeling very exposed. That and it was awkward holding a jar he had his fangs stuck in.
After several more minutes the flow of liquid slowed and then stopped completely. Lauren slowly pulled the jar from the teeth embedded in it, and quickly closed it up with a cap. Bringing the glass up to eye level, she estimated she had about ¾ of a cup of liquid in it.
"How long does it take for your body to generate more venom? I can start with this, but it would be ideal to have a few more samples."
Lachlan closed his eyes once again and gave a little shake of his head. When he opened his eyes again, Lauren could tell that he was back to his human form, the fangs having retracted back into his mouth. "About two days. If I had all my heads we could have filled up all your jars today."
Lauren nodded as she was packing her supplies back into the bag, carefully labeling and stowing the venom. When she was done she stood up and looked down at Lachlan who had remained sitting.
"Thank you Lachlan. For this as well as for keeping my secret."
Lachlan smiled and rose up to meet Lauren's eyes, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You are welcome Lauren, for both things. Do us both a favor and figure out how to kill this damn Garuda."
Chuckling, Lauren nodded her head in agreement. "That I can do Lachlan, enjoy the rest of your day. I will give you a call tomorrow and see if we can't setup a time for me to get some more venom."
Walking out of Lachlan's office and the Light fae compound, Lauren could only shake her head. The fae were a crazy and unpredictable bunch, that was for sure. And now she was one of them.
