Mission: Bo travels back in time to meet up with Dr. Lewis in the Congo rainforest with the intention of trapping a hungry Garuda and stopping a Fae War…
Chapter 11
Lauren awoke slowly her eyes adjusting to the early morning light. Sweeping her hand across the opposite side of the bed, she realized Bo was gone. Sated by a full night of lovemaking, she stretched lazily…missing the other woman's warmth already.
Where was Bo? It would be so nice to stay in bed all day and continue last night's activities. Lauren blushed as she became aware of the tenderness between her thighs.
A self-satisfied smirk played about her lips as she thought of Bo's stamina and how she…a little 'ol human had actually managed to maintain sexual pace with a succubus.
Thanking the heavens for her own endurance…she rolled her eyes upward with pride. It had been a sex marathon…any fantasy position Lauren had ever imagined was indulged in.
Bo had no reservations what-so-ever. It was the rawest carnal experience of her life and she knew nothing would ever come close to approaching the experience.
Then again…Bo seemed very creative. Lauren smiled…a blush creeping up her neck.
Hugging a pillow…she inhaled Bo's scent…delighted it still lingered.
Even though she had only a few hours sleep…she didn't feel groggy. For the first time in a long while…Lauren looked forward to the day.
Suddenly, Lauren frowned…worry marring her brow. She was aware Bo had to leave for a time because of her mission…but surely after last night…she'd be back?
Her mood changed in an instant…ugly doubts clouding her mind. Maybe last night was only a pleasant diversion. Maybe it was nothing extraordinary and didn't mean anything to the succubus. Last night might have been very ordinary to a succubus.
Lauren bit her lower lip…the thoughts torturing her. She had never felt so vulnerable. From her readings about succubi, they were not necessarily monogamous…did they even know how to love?
Lauren realized it was very early to think about love, but how else could she explain the strong feelings she had for Bo? It brought the question to her mind…did they make wild passionate love last night or did they have wild passionate sex?
Pulling herself together…Lauren decided it would be best to confront Bo in person and find the answers. Logically, she knew fear was an unproductive emotion.

Bo had left bed early to find the satellite phone. After speaking to Trick…she felt much better. He was relieved to hear she and Lauren had apprehended the Garuda.
Bo then explained to Trick how she had accidently blood thralled Nadia and she described her plan to use Nadia's condition to blackmail the Morrigan into backing away from Lauren.
Trick promised Lachlan and the Morrigan would be at the Dal when she, Nadia, and the entrapped Garuda arrived the next evening. Then Lachlan would deal with the last surviving Garuda as only the Naga knew how to do.
Trick had reluctantly agreed to offer Lauren his protection after she developed the cure…should the Ash try to manipulate Lauren into slavery again. Trick seemed at first unwilling to reveal his identity, but caved under Bo's insistence that it would be revealed eventually.
Bo was relieved. Now…Lauren had the protection of her powerful Grandfather. The Ash wouldn't stand a chance.
If the arrangement worked as planned…she should return to the future and find Lauren a free woman under the Blood King's protection.
After she returned to the future, Trick thought Bo's memories would mesh with that particular reality and her memories of the old future where the Garuda was winning would seem like a bad dream. How her mind dealt with the two sets of memories would be a mystery they would have to face upon her return to the future.
By adjusting the past…she was readjusting her future.
Bo smiled as erotic images from the previous evening assailed her thoughts.
Walking back to Lauren's tent Bo contemplated her feelings. She had never felt such mind numbing passion. Last night went beyond sex. Now, she knew how an addict must feel. The pleasure she and Lauren had experienced left her aching for more.
She'd had plenty of sex before with Dyson and various others before Lauren…but the quality of the sex wasn't the same. Bo knew it must be the difference love makes. Standing in front of the door to the doctor's tent…Bo felt optimistic everything would work out.

Lauren careened into Bo as the other woman entered the tent. Embarrassed Lauren began to extract herself from Bo's arms. "Whoaaa! What's your hurry?" Bo laughed reluctant to allow Lauren out of her embrace.
Looking deeply into Bo's eyes…Lauren spoke. "Bo we should talk."
Bo felt a cold dread seep into her mind at Lauren's serious tone. Did Lauren regret last night? She didn't know if she could return to a future where regret tainted their feelings.
Lauren continued quickly...her words tumbling from her lips, "I know you're a succubus and last night was probably routine for you…but it was the most extraordinary experience I've ever had. I know it was the flood of sex hormones and possibly even surging brain chemicals called monoamines. It's actually interesting but those chemicals are also found in chocolate and strawberries. Pheromones could also…"
Amused and somewhat aroused by Lauren's geek attack, Bo moved in closer to the nervous doctor raising her voice to interrupt Lauren's endearing ramblings. "Calm down…Lauren! Last night was far from routine for me. Honestly…it was the most magical experience ever!"
Lauren was caught by the sincere emotion in the succubus's eyes as Bo continued. "It was different, because my succubus nature didn't control the experience. I did not feed or use my influence on you. It was just two people making love. It's really that simple."
Bo finished her impassioned tirade as her hands slid through Lauren's blond locks pulling the flustered doctor into a passionate kiss.
Eagerly melting into the kiss, Lauren felt her early morning giddiness return. She grinned happily…life was good again!

Bo and Lauren stood beside the helicopter…waiting for Nadia to load the bags. Every so often Lauren caught the lovesick look Nadia sent Bo's way and felt sad and more than a little guilty that she didn't feel even a twinge of jealousy.
It must have been fate that brought Bo to her and saved her from a huge mistake with Nadia.
Bo studied Lauren's woebegone expression and placed a gentle hand upon her arm. Making small talk she spoke softly. "It's a good thing Nadia can fly this thing. I have to get her back to the Dal immediately to reverse the blood thrall. I also have a friend who will take care of the Garuda."
"Will you come back, Bo?" Lauren's voice cracked with emotion betraying her insecurity.
Pulling Lauren into a comforting embrace, Bo firmly reassured the teary eyed doctor. "I will find you again Lauren. In the meantime…my Grandfather will remain in touch with you. He's a very powerful Fae and will protect you should the need arise."
Pulling away slightly Bo placed both hands on the doctor's shoulders. Her eyes shiny with tears…Bo confessed. "I am like totally crazy in love with you and knew it the first time I laid eyes on you. I'll never let you go…no matter what happens. This is not goodbye!"
Bo's admission sent delighted chills throughout Lauren's body.
Lauren's words poured forth "I love you, too… Bo. It was so quick…it's really beyond any science I know…but, I'm sure there is some type of study I've missed somehow." Bo laughed and rolled her eyes…Lauren the scientist…always analyzing.

As the helicopter flew away into the distance Lauren's heart weighed heavy, but she knew deep inside she'd see Bo again. It was really only a matter of time.
-The End…for now.
Note: I hated to end the story so abruptly, but unfortunately I have a new job that I must focus on for awhile, so I don't have much time to devote to writing. I really wanted to take the fic into the future where there are all sorts of possibilities. When I have more time, I may write a sequel. I hope everyone enjoyed how vocal and open Bo and Lauren were in the story. They dance around each other so much on the show that I wanted them to just freakin' say it! Thanks for reading everyone!
