Kenzi jumped to the side and looked back towards the Fort. The fight was over for her but the others could still be in danger. Gunner was standing over the body of a Trollgre and she could see Lauren and Cook moving around closer to the buildings. General was there but he was lying down. Tamsin followed her eyes and understood immediately what was going on in the girl's mind, "They are safe Kenzi, no worries okay." Kenzi still didn't say anything, she turned and saw Dyson moving quickly back towards them. Tamsin wanted to reach out and touch Kenzi to reassure her, but she looked too freaked out to risk it.
"Where the hell did you come from?" Kenzi asked as she spun back to look the valkyrie in the eye. "How did you get here?" Then thinking of the assistance the woman had just provided, she added, "And thank you for the help." Kenzi's surprise was fading and the questions were setting in. This was the third time fae had appeared out of thin air and she was getting little tired of it.
Tamsin smiled, "Used a little gift from Valhalla," she left it at that. "Bo traveled here in the same fashion. I believe that the woman with the bounty hunters was responsible for their arrival." Dyson reached the women's location, and he handed the throwing blade back to the valkyrie. She nodded her thanks and then said, "Kenzi, I think you will need to lead us back. "And" with a smile she added, "You're welcome."
Seeing Kenzi hesitate Dyson added, "We are only here to help and there is some news that everyone needs to hear."
Gunner waited by the body of the bounty hunter he had taken out. The half fae sported a cut on his arm that was bleeding slowly. As the trio approached he said, "Friends?" Everyone noticed his blade was held low but still at the ready. Kenzi nodded and reached out to him. Holding his hand and forcing him to relax his weapon, she started the group walking back to the Fort.
"Gunner, meet Dyson and Tamsin, Wolf shifter and Valkyrie respectively." The fae couple shot a quick look at her. The man smelled and looked human. It was not a common practice to openly declare a fae's identity to an unknown party.
"Really guys, you appear out of nowhere, kill a bounty hunter with a throwing blade and you think I let the cat out of the bag?" Kenzi snorted a laugh at their wide eyes. "Besides Gunner is only half human, you aren't the only one with tales to tell."
"Where's Bo?" asked Dyson. Both women shot him a look, of course he would be the first to ask about the succubus. "What?" he said innocently. Looking to the other male in the group he didn't find much support there either.
"Cappy took her on a supply run. He is helping her with her control problem." growled Gunner. The accusatory tone was not missed by the small group. "Might have been something your people could have looked into a little earlier. Vampire toxin is a hard thing to handle on your own." Gunner pulled a little on Kenzi's hand and forced her to walk faster. Tamsin and Dyson looked at the halfling with confusion and then a bit of anger. Was he suggesting that they had let Bo down somehow?
They were approaching the garage area when a pick-up rounded the building and pulled in to park. Kenzi and Gunner both let out relieved sighs. With a quick squeeze, Kenzi let go of Gunner's hand and he ran forward to greet Lila and the Colonel. She then put arms out to block Tamsin and Dyson from moving forward. Giving them a hard look, she said, "Okay listen up, if you are here to take Lauren or Bo back, these people will stop you." Dyson gave a chuckle but Kenzi popped him in the chest. "I mean it. They have some powerful mojo and have very good reasons not to trust strange fae. That would be you two. They have accepted Lauren as one of them, and that gave Bo and me an in but you two..." she shook her head. "Just let Lauren introduce you and do me a favor and don't mention Trick right off." She turned without giving them a chance to ask questions.
Lauren saw what was walking her way and she froze. "What the hell are they doing here?" she asked herself, as she was just recovering from the attack and now had time to take in her surroundings. Gearing up to confront her past once again, she was relieved to see the Colonel and Lila pull up. Asking Cook if he would handle the fae woman near the shop, Lauren began walking towards the pick-up but noticed Gunner running in that direction as well. Wanting him to be able to greet his grandparents first, she slowed her walk and tried to get her mind around what had just happened and what her next moved needed to be.

The phone just kept ringing; Trick had stepped away from his meeting with Hale and the council to try to get any news on Bo. He was well on his way from being ticked off to becoming truly pissed, leaving the same biting message on Bo, Dyson and Tamsin's phones for them to get a hold of him as soon as possible. Slamming his phone back in his pocket, Trick then calmed himself and turned back towards the chamber.
"Thank you council members, I am grateful for your time and advice on this matter." Hale nodded to the panel of elder fae and then flashed that winning smile. He stood and moved away from his assigned spot as Trick quickly walked up to join him.
Sensing rather than seeing the bar keeps approach Hale had steeled himself. The incident at the Wanderer's lair had left Hale questioning his actions as the Ash and as a friend for that matter. He had listened to everyone but himself when he considered how to handle the situation and it almost got his best friends killed.
"What kind of arrogant fool does it take to walk into the home base of his enemy and expect an ancient piece of paper to keep him alive? An ancient piece of paper that everyone overlooks or has found a way to work around," cursed Hale. He was quickly learning that what he was told by most of his advisors and the realities of things were two very different ball games. Fae and supernatural politics was much more of a 'do as I say not as I do' game than he had realized, but he was learning fast.
The elders, including Trick, had pumped this fae treaty bullshit at him and he bought it hook, line and sinker. Letting all his common sense go, he had found himself surrounded by vampires and getting the snot knocked out of him. Bo and Kenzi would have been truly lost if he had been killed. Waltzing into the master's home with no real out but negotiation had been stupid. He had been okay doing that because he never considered he could lose. All the advice he had taken was that there was nothing to worry about, he was fae after all and they were only vampires. If Dyson had not been there at the end he would have given Kenzi to the vampires just to hold talks with a vivisected corpse to prove he followed the rules and won. Damn if it still didn't make him ashamed to think of it. It served him right that his friends were acting distant. The silver lining was that he was now thinking for himself but not everyone liked that.
"What are you doing?" snapped Trick quietly as he approached the young Ash. The council had moved on to other things and Hale was walking away. "There was much to discuss still. You needed to push them and …."
Hale sighed deeply. Trick could be an excellent mentor but lately the man was seriously over the top. "Trick you need to back off on this. The council has agreed to look over my proposal and I will be on the agenda for the next gathering. This is what we assumed would happen and it did. I have better things to do with my time today than fight a losing battle."
Trick huffed haughtily, "You are the Ash, and you do not have losing battles. I should have never stepped out, but I thought you could handle five minutes of…"
Hale stopped walking and looked at the shorter fae, in a voice low and dangerous and only for the bar keeps ears, he said, "Trick, you need to watch yourself, I appreciate all you have done for me but don't think that gives you any right to disrespect me or my office. Your role is as advisor and nothing more. You'd do well to remember that." Hale attention was caught be an approaching fae. He nodded to the man and then left without another word to Trick.
Trick watched the Ash walk away and was seething. Thinking to himself, "He would be nowhere without me." He felt a presence over his shoulder and turned to see the Lead council standing directly behind him. The man had always been a necessary evil, so Trick pasted on a smile and said, "Lead Council what can I do for you?"
"My dear Trick, I think your question should be what can I do for you?" the Lead Council sneered and motioned Trick to follow him.

Kenzi had wisely held the newcomers back. Lauren was watching them closely when her focus was pulled as raised voices caught her attention. She turned away from her own thoughts only to be hit full on by Lila hugging her tightly and then doing a more than thorough pat down of her person. "Lila, Hey Lila," Lauren grabbed and held her hands firmly but gently, "I'm okay. I think Gunner has a cut on his arm and General is nursing a leg, but we are fine."
"What happened?" Lila spun around, "Where is Cappy and Bo? Who is that woman speaking to Cook? There are two fae with Kenzi, are they…"
"It's okay Lila." said Lauren calmly and she pulled the older woman to her. "Cappy took Bo to gather ingredients for his toxin cure. I don't know who the woman is with Cook but she did not actively try to harm us." Lauren drew in a deep breath and let it out, "Kenzi is with more people from my past, Dyson and Tamsin. I might have mentioned them." Lila narrowed her eyes in instant dislike.
"The two that have a thing for Bo and…" Lila was puffing up into major protective mode. Lauren beamed she couldn't help herself. The cupid continued, "I will just have to ask them to leave and if Bo can't see that you are the best choice than I will have to talk some sense…"
"I love you." Lauren said laughing. "And yes they are Bo's feeding alternatives and no you cannot hurt them unless they do something supremely stupid." Lila let out a cupid's giggle which was not necessarily a good thing. "Please Lila, I mean it. They are my friends too."
"I love you too Lauren and will do as you ask." It was the most fae-like the woman had ever sounded. Lila turned and saw that the Colonel had dropped his glamour and pulled the cover from the rest of them. His gaze was towards the small group approaching. It was best not to act like they had anything to hide from the fae with Kenzi.
Dyson froze as the glamour was released and he caught wind of the various fae he approached. "A Gremlin, Stoneling and a Cupid, old, powerful and not supposed to be here." He looked at Kenzi and raised an eyebrow. "Is there ever a time that you, Bo or Lauren do things the normal way?" She rolled her eyes as the obvious answer was, "No." The group arrived to stand by Lauren, Cook motioned for Jinn to join the group with him. Gunner, Lila and the Colonel finished off the circle. They all looked at one another but no one said anything. Finally Kenzi said, "Do I have to do this every time? Hi my name is Kenzi and …."
Lila staggered and then looked up in alarm. "Cappy and Bo are coming and both are a little upset. Bo is in such a state that I can feel her emotional energy from here. Cappy is not much better but he is under control. He is just really scared for us." An alarmed look shot around the circle except for Jinn who had no idea what was happening and the Colonel who looked to be analyzing how best to handle the threat.
"On it," the Colonel said, "It would be best if they could see us all safe and sound but Lauren if you will." He motioned for her to step a part. "If we sense they…okay if we sense Bo is too far gone and will have a hard time with her control I will use a bit of gremlin know how and remove the rest of us from her sight. Bo will then only see you. Pretend that it is only the two of you here until she calms down. From what Lila has said it is the succubus's need to protect you that is truly the problem."
The roar of the truck's engine cut off any response the others could make. There was skidding of tires on dirt as the truck stopped early not rounding the edge of the shop. There was an eerie silence then "Lauren!" the two toned succubus voice echoed, "Kenzi!" It was almost like a battle call. These were the people Bo needed to protect and God help anyone that had harmed them.
"Damn you all, Gunner, Cook, answer us. Are you in trouble?" The ancient accent to Cappy's voice was as unsettling as Bo's succubus. Energy pulsed and the group let out a yell together as what felt like a hard pinch touched them all at the same time.
Cook shouted, "Easy their shaman, we are right here. Lay off the locator spell. That hurt." The Stoneling was rubbing his arm and looking like an unhappy child.
Lauren almost could not talk but forced herself to call out, "I'm here Bo. I'm okay." Both Cappy and Bo were in fae form when they rounded the edge of the shop. Still out of their view the doctor watched their approach. If Lauren hadn't been so sure that they were intent on helping the crew she might have attempted to run away herself. These powerful fae were damn scary. Both sets of eyes blue with power flowing freely. Bo's snapping with energy while Cappy's were that cold stone like quality.
"Magic and fae have been here." the fast paced accent of Cappy's fae form coated his words and expressed his concern. "Trollgres, a Jinn, a child of Odin and a shifter." Bo let out a savage snarl as she looked for the fae that had threated what was hers.
"Okay think it is safe to say we need to calm BOTH of them down." Said Kenzi and the others agreed. The Colonel nodded and with a wave of his hand they all vanished from view but Lauren.
As if sensing the Colonel's actions, Cappy and Bo's attention was drawn to where the group had been standing. Lauren held out her hands and said as calmly as possible "There are no more threats. Bo, Cappy you need to take a breath…" Cappy looked at her and seemed to understand that things were under control. Lauren saw his breathing slow then suddenly she could not see him anymore, he had vanished. As the Colonel had said it was as if she was alone with Bo.
Lauren opened her mouth to speak but Bo beat her to it, "Do not lie and tell me you are fine Lauren." snapped the rolling voice. "You are frightened and upset. Your aura is flared and I feel your worry. If there is no threat why are you agitated?"
"There was a threat but Gunner, Kenzi, Cook and I handled it. I am just trying to calm down. You should too. Look around; there is nothing that can harm us. Kenzi is safe. If I am upset it is because I am worried about you." Lauren tried.
Walking a direct line to the doctor, the succubus moved with purpose. She looked Lauren up and down during her approach. Bo reached out and pulled hard on the flack jacked and brought Lauren up against her body. She was smiling a sly sexy smile, "You are worried about me?" Lauren nodded not really able to form words. Bo's smile slipped and the protective predator moved forward. "Smart girl." She then kissed Lauren hard and fast. Pulling back just as fast ending the scorching exchange, Bo growled, "The rest of the group should take a lesson." With a flash Bo pulled hard from all directions and chi streams shot from the glamour haze and instantly all the surrounding fae were visible and on the ground, after having their chi attacked. Only Kenzi remained standing and unaffected by the succubus but too shook up to move.
"No," screamed Lauren and she dove at Bo. Not expecting Lauren's rush, the women fell to the ground in a heap with the doctor on top. It was enough to stop the chi attack for the moment. "Stop it, Bo, stop it." Bo rolled quickly and trapped Lauren underneath her, the succubus went to push up but Lauren was having none of it. Reaching around Bo she clamped her arms around her midsection and pulled her down, then wrapped her legs around Bo as well. Grinding out between her teeth, "Bo, damn it, you need to get a grip. I'm okay, Kenzi is okay. We are safe. You need to calm the hell down, now!" Lauren hugged Bo with all her might.
The succubus in Bo was attracted by Lauren's actions. This was not a woman in need of protection; in fact the succubus was impressed by her strength. Turning to look directly into Lauren's eyes there was a look of admiration. The doctor was confused and then caught off guard as Bo no longer struggled to get free. Instead Bo pressed down and enjoyed the feel of Lauren underneath her, "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" growled the succubus. Lauren gave Bo a small punch in the side with her fist. "Ouch!" said Bo in mock distress, but she was calming down. She lowered her head and kissed Lauren again. This time it was softer and more than an act of possession but an emotional expression. Dark brown eyes were the next things Lauren looked into as Bo gave her an anxious, apologetic look and bit her lip.
"Craptastic," said Kenzi as she helped the others to their feet. "You okay?" she checked as each took her hand and she pulled them back to their feet. She had watched the attack and still was processing how this multiple chi pull attack was different from when she had last seen Bo use that skill. Kenzi's own chi had been pulled by Bo when the succubus tapped a large group in an attempt to save Dyson. The group had been hit with equal force, but this current attack was something different.
It was as if Bo now had the ability to target specific areas on each fae. Cappy was hit in the head, Cook was hit in the arms, Lila in the chest and so on. The pinpoint attacks rendered the individuals unable to use their specific fae powers to protect themselves. By draining that part of the body first, Bo's victims were totally vulnerable had she wanted to inflect more damage or kill.
The rest of the crew was grumbly but okay. The Jinn, next to Cook, look ready to bolt but the Stoneling was watching her closely. The Colonel looked taken back by Bo's attack through his glamour, but Lila was the one with the most concerned look on her face. She stomped forward and Gunner lunged to stop her but was caught by the shoulder. He was held tight by his grandfather. The others looked to the Colonel but he shook his head and they relaxed as the unspoken order was not to interfere.
"Bo!" snarled the cupid. Lauren cringed as she felt the succubus start to tense up waiting for the punishment she expected to receive. "Bo, kiss Lauren again! NOW!" Bo gave a little laugh. This was not what she had expected, but who was she to argue with such a demand. Lauren rolled her eyes, a bit embarrassed, as the succubus followed her orders with great skill. "Son of a…." there was a loud pop and Bo flew in the air and landed in a heap off to the side. With a second pop, a body hit the ground next to Bo."
"Okay, the fun and games continue," said Kenzi with concern and she looked to Gunner for help. The man shook his head and looked as helpless as she did. The other fae did not move a muscle.
Dyson looked up from the spot where he had landed next to Bo still a little dazed, "What is going on?" he said with a touch of wolf to his voice.
Bo groaned, she had hit the ground hard and was trying to fight off the need to respond, "The hell if I know."
"Silence," snapped the little cupid at them. The two on the ground didn't argue. Lila turned and looked at the woman who was trying to pull herself off the ground. "Lauren," The cupid called and she moved quickly to the doctor's side, helping her stand. "I understand now." Lila turned and shot hard eyes at Bo and Dyson who were still on the ground. "My dear you have been deceived."
"What? Lila what are you talking about?" Lauren was looking around the woman towards Bo and Dyson. "I don't understand."
"When you were hurt Bo did not share with you and I didn't understand it. Then Kenzi told me she had been raised by humans so I thought that she just was never taught how to share. But right now, you were holding her and I saw it." The small woman whipped around and gave Bo and Dyson a look that would wither stone.
"Hey Lila, I don't know what…" stammered Bo trying to defend herself. The cupid did not want to hear it.
"When Bo pulled my chi, my cupid abilities flared for a moment in defense and I saw their bond. Lauren, my girl, Bo is married." said Lila softly trying to be gentle in delivering the bad news. "Bo and this shifter are mated."
There was a moment of silence then a soft, "Oh shit," escaped Dyson's lips. The Colonel and the rest of the crew groaned as if they knew what was coming. This was a button that you did not press with a cupid. Love was Lila's domain and abusing the power of love was something that never went unpunished.
Lauren was so relieved to hear what the cupid was telling her she started to laugh. Gently touching Lila's arm, she said "Lila, thank you for looking out for me, but I know that Dyson and Bo have a bond. It is something that happened before Bo and I started our relationship. Dyson lost his love to a Norn when he was protecting Bo. Bo and I, we started a relationship when he stepped away from her and then Kenzi got Dyson's love back but Bo and Dyson have decided to …"
The cupid's hand snapped out then pulled it back to rub her nose as if a migraine was starting. Lauren stopped talking. After a moment the cupid looked at all of them as if trying to figure out what to say. Dyson added helpfully, "I'm seeing someone else now. Bo and Lauren are free to…" Tamsin groaned and stepped behind Kenzi in an attempt to disappear. Lauren and Bo looked at her then Dyson and he shrugged. There was a popping noise and Dyson lifted off the ground and then was dropped back down with a smack. The wolf growled quietly.
Lila looked at Lauren, "You have never been with Bo when she has not been bonded to the wolf?"
"No," said Lauren simply. She was uncomfortable with this conversation and the interested looks her friends were now all giving her.
This time it was the Colonel, "My dear girl, that can't have been very satisfying. I mean the…" he stopped when he realized that he had spoken out of turn. His ears turned bright red. Lila gave him a look and he held out his hands as if to say he was sorry. It did tell Lila that this was not the place for the current conversation. She gave her husband a wave and he said quickly, "Ah yes let's assess what happened here while Miss Lila handles….. this matter between ….."
There was a popping noise and Lila, Dyson, Bo and Lauren were in the living room of the hut. When they all got their feet under them Lila pointed to chairs. "Look, I don't know what you are all playing at but love is a powerful emotion and it is not to be trifled with as you three are. Lauren is a human so I don't expect her to understand the danger she places herself in but you two should know better."
Bo looked shocked, "I am very careful when we... when we are close. I do not feed without total control and only pull chi in small amounts. I know what happens if I am not in control at all times. My past is not without …" Lila frowned but understood what she was being told. Bo had no training as a succubus at all, but had somehow learned not to kill as she went through her feeding ritual.
"What is your excuse wolf? Why did you allow Lauren to put herself in danger?" Lila snapped. The room erupted in indignant voices. "Enough!" shouted Lila, "What I meant was why didn't you remove the mate bond?" The trio looked at the cupid in confusion.
"The mate bond cannot be broken. A wolf gets only one chance to establish a …" Dyson said as if he was reciting a section of the wolf shifter handbook.
Lila broken in, "Yes, yes but this is love and all beings fall in and out of love. Your kind would not have been so cruel not to account for this."
"We have moved on to different relationships. The bond is only a technicality. Dyson and I love each other as friends, but Lauren is the one I am in love with." said Bo. She knew the cupid had no idea how difficult a subject this was for all of them. Lauren had left Bo for this very reason. She looked at Lauren who did not meet her eyes.
"Bo, my dear, the mating bond is more than a technicality. It is an energy pathway. A metaphysical connection that allows you to share all that you are with another person." Lila sighed. "Your bond with Dyson means that Lauren receives nothing from your relationship…"
"Okay now I must add that…" Lauren was beet red. Bounty hunters had just attacked them, how did she end up here, in a conversation about her love life, specifically the part of her love life that left her feeling so unworthy of being with Bo. Rolling her eyes she willed Lila to end this little talk.
The cupid smiled at the doctor taking in her blush, "It's okay Lauren I didn't mean pleasure here. Succubi are renowned for their talents in the bedroom." Now it was Bo's turn to turn red. "This is like having the Birds and Bees talk with my daughter." Lila was getting flustered. "Ok, look. Lauren is being hurt by her love for Bo because the mate bond does not allow Lauren to fully participate forcing Bo look elsewhere for food which makes Lauren doubt her worth. Bo's only way to feed completely is with you Dyson. All other feeding opportunities are tainted for lack of a better word and she is running around half starved all the time putting everyone in danger. Dyson your abilities to provide pleasure are limited when you are with anyone but Bo." All the eyes looking at the cupid were wide and mouths were hanging open.
Lauren spoke first, "Do you mean that, as a human, I could provide everything Bo needs as a succubus without putting myself in danger?"
"Yes," said Lila. Everyone heard Dyson mumbling something about limited abilities and then no complaints but they ignored him. "Yes Lauren that is exactly what I am saying." The cupid repeated herself.
"I killed people before." said Bo sharply. It was cruel of this woman to give that portion of their relationship hope. It was just a fact that Lauren was always in danger from Bo, it was why she had to be so careful. She would never put Lauren in danger, "I can't feed from Lauren like I feed from a fae or I…"
Lila sighed, "Succubi and Cupid feed from emotions Bo, we are like cousins. Cupids feed on love and caring, Succubi feed on lust and heavy passion. Couples holding hands emit feeling, that does it for my kind, heavy petting emits feelings does it for a succubus. The feelings are what we need; humans and fae are just the carriers of these emotions. You find someone with enough of the right type of feelings for you," Lila smiled and looked at Lauren, "and they provide all you need without them ever noticing a difference. They are already giving them to you freely. You were never taught to find just those emotions as a child. Being in a state of starvation all the time made every feed dangerous for you and the person you were with. While sad and traumatic, any mishap before finding your fae family was not your fault. It was a failing of your species." There was ice in the cupid's voice. The thought of a fae child or any child being left to fend for themselves was infuriating.
Bo looked so intently at Lila, the cupid rushed on, "Bo, you pull on the whole chi stream when you feed. I felt it, saw it, when you attacked our group. The chi is the bundle of everything a person has to offer. A full chi pull is actually the weapon of a succubus, not how you were meant to feed. I must admit it is remarkable how skillfully you use that weapon. The ability to pull from multiple beings, pinpointing your draws of energy, and your ability to push chi energy is amazing. Not knowing what you were or how to take care of yourself, you adapted your body to use the high emotional energy hidden within the full chi stream as food and the rest is directed to your other powers." Seeing the question in Bo's eyes Lila added, "Whatever natural abilities you gained from your father or grandparents."
Dyson cleared his throat, "I never meant to hurt Bo or Lauren, and I don't mean to now but the mate bond cannot be broken. I can only establish one bond…"
Lila smiled and said, "Yes, you a can make only one mate bond but what your elders didn't spread around was that certain species can transfer their bond to another being. As love is a cupid's domain we have found out much about mating bonds, those of your species and others. You are a man with passion Dyson, there must have been others in your long life you have loved. Your bond was formed with your first love and then it has transferred back to you as that person moved on." The cupid had sensed that Dyson was an older fae she didn't mention death as it was more than likely how the mate bond had been transferred back in the past.
"Can I give Dyson his mate bond back?" ask Bo. She did not look at Dyson as she didn't want to hurt him, but she looked a Lauren with hope.
Lila said seriously, "He has to ask for it back."
Bo looked from Lauren to Dyson, "Friends?"
The wolf smiled, "Always," he held out his hand, "Can I have my mate bond back please?" It sounded like they were making fun of Lila but there was a look in both of their eyes that spoke to the hurt that was behind this. They did love each other on some level and had shared so much between them but as a couple; they both knew they did not have a future.
"Yes," Bo said softly, "Thanks for...this." She didn't know what else to say so she just touched his hand. There was a flare of heat and Dyson pulled his hand away quickly. He nodded his head and then excused himself from the room. Bo had expected something more but the heat from the touch was all there was.
Lila, looking at Bo and Lauren, said, "Any other time, as your cupid, I would be giving you all types of advice but we simply do not have time. Try to keep things to a PG rating until we can talk some more. This will change things between you." Lila took their hands and placed them together. "You have five minutes then I am sending Kenzi in to get you for a meeting in the Fort. There is much we have to talk about." Lila left with a smile and a cupid's giggle.
Left standing alone in the living room Bo and Lauren just stared at each other for a few moments. Finally Bo said, "Are you okay, Lauren?"
"I don't know," said the doctor. "I mean I researched your species and I never read anything about or thought that…"
Bo growled and pulled Lauren close, "Something tells me that fae research is a bit biased and perhaps lacking when it comes to human-fae relationships." She placed her forehead on Lauren's. "Hey let's try this out, think passionate thoughts about me." They laughed at Bo's use of Lila's words. Bo was still laughing at the idea of feeding the way Lila had described, but then her breath caught as a wave of energy crashed into her. It happened so fast and Bo's could not stop herself from pulling in what was offered. She froze terrified that she had just hurt Lauren with her unintended feeding.
Lauren snorted a laugh, "Okay so not really feeling anything, but the passionate thoughts…memories" she gave Bo a quick kiss on the nose, "are entertaining." The doctor started to pull away but Bo chose that moment to think about how much she loved Lauren. The doctor gasped and pulled Bo close. The sensation was not like Bo's pulses of chi that focused on physical pleasure but instead it was an expression of love and appreciation, revealing just how much Bo needed and wanted Lauren. For the first time in their relationship Lauren was assured of how important she was to Bo. There was no room for doubts, fighting back the tears, she said in a shaky voice, "That was new." Bo chuckled hearing Lauren's emotion. The succubus started thinking how nice it was to share.
A/N: Hey thanks for all the reviews, follows, favorites and reads. The small fight last time was a taste of things to come. Looks like our girls now have that many more reasons to keep each other safe. Next time: The council, the vampires and the Trollgres – Oh My!
