Welcome to all the new followers, likes and favs. I wrote and re-wrote this chapter several times, I had gone in a complete different direction then decided I'd like to take more time on developing Tamsin and Bo's characters and relationship. Tamsin has a little secret a bit of a twist, some of you mythologists might already be clued on but I hope it comes as a nice surprise later in the story. Anyhoo I hope you like the next chapter now go forth - chapter 8 :)
The next morning it was Bo who woke first. Finding herself entangled in the blonde, her head still resting on Tamsins chest. She could hear her heart beating slow, steady and comforting. She smiled at herself to think that this was ever even a possibility. Bo the passionate emotion driven Succubus and Tamsin the strong and valiant Valkyrie. The spider and the fly. From the outside one would think they were like oil and water but when they were together they managed to blend. They could be a pretty unstoppable force Bo thought as she stroked Tamsin's arm feeling the softness of her skin. Tamsin appeared cold and hard on the oustide but she radiated a warmth from deep within only let out on the rare occassion, it was almost as though Tamsin reserved that side of herself especially for Bo. She had only caught glimpses of it but couldn't wait to see more. Last night had been a huge step for the pair, to admit that they had feelings for each other, moreso for Tamsin than Bo directly due to their nature. Sure they had been dancing around the sexual attraction from the moment they met, it helped that Tamsin was ridiculously attractive, but her quick wit and snarky attitude soon became more of a turn on than a turn off. Bo creased her brow trying to think of when it was that she actually started to develop feelings for the blonde. She was pretty sure that there had been feelings for quite some time now, even as far back as when her and Lauren were still together, the solidifying moment had to be the day of the kitsune Kidnapping. Although she hadn't been ready to admit it yet. Tamsin had been the only one to believe her, the woman who had known her and Kenzi for the least amount of time, the one who had the least amount of reasons to trust her, was the only one who did. It was also when Bo got her very first taste, their first kiss, well technically it was a feed, but oh my God was Tamsins chi amazing. She never really did pinpoint what exactly about it was so different, it was strong, powerful and insanley delicious. A lot like Tamsin she thought. Her eyes instinctively flashed blue at the memory, she licked her lips unconsciously and nuzzled her nose into the side of the blondes neck her hunger rising, it had been far too long since she last fed and being this close to Tamsin was beginning to drive her insane. She felt the blonde tense. "Bo, what are you doing?" Bo looked up at her with a smile that soon turned to a frown when she saw that the Valkyrie looked as though she was in pain. Sitting up to take her weight off of the blonde she lifted the side of Tamsins singlet to check the bandage. "Tamsin are you ok, I didn't hurt you did I?" Tamsin tugged her singlet down and cleared her throat a pink blush had formed on her cheeks.
"I'm fine." she lied wrapping her arms around the brunette and pulling her back to rest on her chest. To be honest she was terrified, It had been a long time since she last woke up with another person next to her, actually she wondered if she had ever woken up next to someone at all. Waking up with Bo by her side was bittersweet. Be strong, trust your instincts and keep your distance. Remember, love will get you killed. Acacia's words played in her mind, her mentor was wise, she had trained them back when her and Brynhild we nothing more than fledglings in Valhalla. Those were the words Acacia said just before the pair went out in search of their first mark. It was easy for a Valkyrie to be enthrawled by their marks, brave and noble warriors. They were naturally attracted to them, the more powerfull they were the stronger the attraction, it was a way of indentifying between the chosen and the weak. But they were never to fall in love, it clouded the mind and made for poor judgment when the time to collect was up. Tamsin never had a problem though, she had kept her distance and centuries of war had given her a shield. She could push away any feelings that surfaced behind a wall of death and pain, each battle leaving its tainted taste on her soul. Brynhild had crumbled years ago, fell in love and suffered the consequences, when word got out that she had been killed, Tamsin swore to herself she'd never be so stupid. Until Bo, finally she understood why Brynhild was so willing to give up everything. Taking in a deep breath she resolved that there was no going back now, she would find a way to get them out of this mess and take down Odin for good. "Bo, I think we should go see Freyja."
Bo sat up again, "Wow, that's some bedroom talk you got there TamTam, you sure know how to turn a girl on." she said dryly. She wasn't ready for her little bubble to be burst so soon. "Can't we just forget about all of that for a bit, I just want to concentrate on this, on us. Last night you finally admitted that you had feelings for me and now you want to go on a witch hunt to some Godess in Azkaban?"
God she is adorable when she's angry. Tamsin thought to herself as she watched Bo's eyes light up with determination."Asgard, babe. Azkaban is from Harry Potter." She laughed "And it's not a witch hunt. Freyja was the one who saved Brynhild from death. Do you know how hard it is to hide from Odin? Especially for that long. She is willing to protect us and she knows something, something that could help us to defeat your Fae-hole of a Father." She watched as the last few words hit Bo right in the heart. Dammit Tamsin why do you gotta be such an arse all the time? she scolded herself bringing her hand up to Bo's cheek she forced herself to look into sad brown eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you."
Bo reached up and placed her hand on top of Tamsins. "It's ok, you're only telling the truth...what if i'm just like him Tamsin? What if deep down i'm nothing but a monster?"
"You are nothing like your Father Bo, do you hear me?" she was so not good at this, but she couldn't let Bo believe for one second that she was anything like that man.
"How do you know? You know I can loose control, iv'e killed before and not even remembered. Iv'e left a string of dead lovers, what does that make me?" Tears had started to well in her eyes thinking back to the dark Fae she had left in a coma. Tamsin was getting angry, this was all His fault, how could such a perfect creature be born of such wickid genes. What would she need to do to convince Bo she wasn't a monster? Not knowing what words to say next she did the only other thing she could think of. Cupping her other hand up to Bo's cheek she pulled her close and kissed her. She kissed her with passion, slow and deep hoping that Bo would just feel the words she couldn't say. It worked, Bo's Succubus side began to take over, allowing her to forget her Father and concentrate on Tamsin instead. It wasn't hard considering how hungry she was and how much she wanted Tamsin to satisfy that craving. Lying on their sides so as not to put pressure on Tamsins injury Bo grabbed the blonde by the waist pulling their bodies flush against one another, running her hand down across Tamsins cotton bed shorts she followed the soft curve of her hip down to the back of the thigh before sliding her hand up and under the bottom of Tamsin's pants leaving trails of persuasion as she went. Tamsin, much to Bo's pleasure was wearing a g-string, allowing Bo to caress the soft and subtle skin of her ass without any extra effort. Wanting more contact she grabbed the back of Tamsins knee positioning the Valkyrie's leg to wrap around Bo's waist, effectively opening up her centre so the brunette could grind her hip along the Valkyries throbbing core. Tamsins moans grew louder as Bo continued with the heavy petting. "Like music to my ears." Bo spoke, her voice low and sensual, dripping with seduction, hot breath weaving its way around Tamsins ear, sending a shiver down her spine. Bo bit the sensitive spot just under Tamsins jaw. She loved the way the Valkyrie felt writhing beneath her touch. Tamsin had woven her hands into brunette hair unintentionally tugging a little harder with every grind of the Succubus' hips, Bo growled from the sensation, a mixture of pleasure and pain. Her hunger was becoming increasingly stronger but she refused to take any of Tamsins Chi, not while she was hurt. She would suffice on Tamsins sexual energy alone, nothing a few mind blowing orgasms can't fix, she grinned to herself. Suddenly they were knocked out of their lust filled haze by the sound of a plate dropping against the floor. Looking up in unison to where the sound came from they spotted Kenzi. She had come to bring the pair some breakfast under Trick's orders when she was greeted by the sight of the two Fae in a passionate embrace. She was standing at the door jaw dropped with two plates and a pile of food now scattered across the ground. "Oh. My. Mother of..." Bo quickly cut her off before she could finish.
"Kenzi, just calm down for a sec and let me explain ok." She put her hands up as if trying to call truce. Kenzi mimiked her actions. "What's there to explain? You got an itch that only hot cop over there can scratch. I get it i'm not here to judge, spare me the gory details. I'd just like a little warning next time." Tamsin looked at Kenzi in horror, Bo in disbelief.
"Ah Kenz, i'm pretty sure it was you who walked in on us without warning." Bo corrected, Kenzi shrugged."Technicalities." Bo sighed figuring there was no point in arguing with the stubborn girl she continued to explain. "Besides Kenz, it's not like that, Tamsin and I are ...just, we're um..." looking over to Tamsin to try and clarify exactly what it was they were she got no response. The blonde had all but buried her head into her hands trying to hide from the current situation. "It's complicated." she finished off not knowing how else to explain.
Cottoning on to what her best friend was trying to say Kenzi squealed running over to the bed where the stunned duo where lying, she dived into the small gap separating the two and squeezed herself between them. She wrapped a slender arm around each of their necks pulling them in close to her. "I am soooo, happy for you two!" she removed an arm from Tamsin who quickly pushed back and sat up straight, a look of terror across her face at being caught in such a vulnerable and compromising situation, Kenzi ignored her and proceeded to pinch Bo's cheeks. "Awww BoBo, I'm so proud of you! You two have had some serious sparkage going on for months. Iv'e seen it with my very own, very amazing might I add, blue eyes." She smirked proud of herself, looking back over to Tamsin she pointed her finger, "And you! I knew you couldn't resist this adorable little Succu-lovers charms forever, although you did hold out for a lot longer than I expected." shrugging her shoulders she bounced off the bed and towards the door. "I'll let you get back to your make out sesh but don't be in here too long, everyone is starting to get suspish'. Especially Dyson, that boy is biting at the bit wondering what's taking you two so long down here."
"Kenzi, not a word!" Bo called out to the girl who had already disappeard out the hallway. Popping her head back in the door she pretended to zip her mouth closed with her fingers "Secrets safe with me Bobolicious. Scouts honor. But i'm not the only with eyes you know." she then dissapeared again.
Bo began to laugh, Tamsin sat mortified. "What's so funny succubus. You might get a kick out of being caught in the throws of passion but I prefer to keep it one on one." Bo nearly choked on her laughter. "Seriously? Throws of passion? What are you one hundred?" the irony surpased her "Besides, The Great Valkyrie, vanilla in the bedroom? No way!" Tamsin rolled her eyes. "I'm not vanilla and another word out of you and you'll be banned from this body for a very long time. I like that little human of yours but she has some shitty timing." A goofy grin crept up on Bo's face. "You like Kenzi?" Tamsin had that look on her face again, the one she got when she knew she had slipped up and let out more information than she wanted too. It seemed that Bo had a way of bringing it out in her. "One. more. word." She growled. Bo simply kissed her on the cheek and got out of bed. "Come on grumpy pants lets go meet the others before Dyson comes to sniff us out next." Tamsin huffed but followed orders "I'd like to see him try." she quipped with a satisfactory smirk.
