A/N: Thank you all for the reviews, like I've said before they keep me motivated. I read and re-read these chapters over and over again and still manage to find mistakes after I post. One day I'll write and edit an entire chapter and fix all the mistakes before I post, until then, all mistakes are mine. And as always, I own nothing, all Lost Girl characters belong to Lost Girl and their creators.
Chapter 18
1 hour until landing…
Bo and Lauren were sitting together on the plush leather sofa; Bo was sitting back comfortably as Lauren fed her strawberries and cream. Lauren dipped the sweet ruby red strawberry into the white fluffy cream and let it hover over Bo's lips for a moment. Bo moved to try and take a bite of the luscious fruit, but Lauren moved the strawberry just out of reach. Bo sat back with a smirk and a quirk of her brow as she eyed the blonde. Lauren once again dangled the piece of fruit over Bo's mouth, but this time Bo made no move to bite it. She kept her mouth closed and smirk in place even as Lauren allowed the strawberry to touch her lips, leaving behind a spot of sweet white cream as she pulled it away once again.
"Do you not want it?" Lauren asked with a sexy grin.
Bo said nothing; she hadn't even tried to remove the cream that was still on her lips. She simply shook her head slowly as she continued to smirk at the Doctor.
"So you aren't going to open your mouth for me?" Lauren asked as she too continued to grin.
Once again Bo's only response was a slow shake of her head. Lauren bit her lip as she thought, 'challenge accepted.' She placed the plate of strawberries next to the bowl of cream on the small end table next to the sofa. With the same strawberry still in hand she moved to straddle Bo's lap. She slid her free hand through Bo's dark locks, letting her hand rest on the base of her neck, all while never breaking eye contact with the brunette. Bo rested her hands on the Doctor's upper thighs and waited to see what Lauren's next move was. Lauren brought the strawberry back to Bo's mouth once again, this time she slid the strawberry across Bo's lips, coating them in cream. Lauren pulled the strawberry back and took Bo by surprise when she licked Bo's lips clean. Lauren made sure to only lick off the remnants of the cream and not seek entrance into her girlfriend's mouth.
Bo swallowed hard as the smirk on her face faltered for a moment before returning. Lauren bit her bottom lip to try and suppress her grin as she noticed the throbbing pulse in Bo's neck had quickened. Lauren began to lightly massage and caress the back of Bo's neck as her other hand that was holding the strawberry traced the pulsing vein in Bo's neck, leaving a thin trail of cream. She leaned forward and began leaving deliberate, wet open mouth kisses down Bo's neck, licking up the cream as she went. Bo's eyes fluttered close, she took a deep breath in an effort to silence the moan that was making its way out of her mouth. She couldn't let Lauren win so easily, she had to hold out at least for a little bit before she gave in and devoured the Doctor and that damn strawberry.
The blonde smiled down at her lover, impressed with her willpower thus far. But Lauren didn't like to lose; she was going to get Bo to crack, even if it took the remainder of the flight. She brought the strawberry to her own lips and took an agonizingly slow bite, closed her eyes and moaned as she licked her lips seductively. She leaned forward once again, her hot breath tickling Bo's ear.
"So gooood." Lauren whispered into Bo's ear, making sure to accentuate each word. She nipped the brunette's earlobe before sucking it into her mouth and soothing it with her tongue.
Bo growled and flipped the Doctor onto her back as Lauren let out a victorious giggle. Bo started to kiss and suck on her girlfriend's neck before pulling back and looking into the beautiful honey colored eyes of the woman that owned her heart.
"Do you have any idea what you do to me, Babe?" Bo whispered as she gazed into her lover's eyes. The intensity of her gaze caused Lauren's heart to flutter and her breath to hitch.
"If it's anything like what you do to me, then yes." Lauren whispered back, reaching up and caressing Bo's cheek.
"We just spent the majority of this flight making love and yet, I'm craving you like I haven't touched you in a week. I have never in all my life, wanted someone as much as I want you, I always want you. It's like I can't get enough of you." Bo chuckled.
"Then have me, whenever you want, as much as you want." Lauren pulled Bo in for a searing kiss that left both women breathless. Just as Bo started to slip her hands under the Doctor's blouse the captain announced that it was time to prepare for landing.
"Well I guess we'll have to continue with this later." Bo said, kissing Lauren once more before moving off of her. She stood to her feet and offered Lauren a hand. They made their way back to their seats, buckled up and prepared for landing.
1 hour later…
The ladies arrived at the resort and were immediately treated like royalty. Every worker in the place jumped at any opportunity to assist the couple. When they entered their room, Bo and Lauren stood at the entry way in awe. As soon as you entered the room you were standing in the large living area that had floor to ceiling windows where you could take in the beautiful ocean view from wherever you stood. There were double glass doors that led out to the balcony and private infinity pool.
Inside their bedroom they had the same type of floor to ceiling windows that had remote controlled window shades for privacy and they had the same great ocean view that the living area had. The best part was, the large king size bed faced the windows so that you can lie in bed and take in the spectacular view. The bathroom had a large glass enclosed shower with a rain showerhead and an oversized whirlpool tub.
"Wow babe, this is…" Bo looked around the bedroom as she tried to describe it.
"I know beautiful doesn't begin to describe this place." Lauren said.
"Let's check out the balcony and pool." Bo reached for Lauren's hand and led her out to the balcony. "Look at this pool hun, we are so going skinny dipping tonight."
"So did I buy a new bikini for nothing?" Lauren smiled.
"Nope, you get to wear that when we go down to the beach." Bo wrapped her arms around Lauren from behind as they both looked out on the ocean. "This place is amazing Lauren." Bo kissed Lauren's neck softly. "Thank you for bringing me here." Lauren turned her head to kiss Bo's lips.
"Your welcome baby, happy anniversary." Lauren closed her eyes as she leaned into Bo.
"Happy anniversary to you too, I love you."
"I love you too." Lauren kissed Bo's cheek once more.
3 hours later…
Bo and Lauren lay wrapped up under the thin white sheet as they both were panting after their latest round of lovemaking. They had spent the last few hours christening the balcony, the pool, and now their king size bed.
"Damn babe, I think we are addicted to sex. We've been going at like rabbits since we got on the plane." Bo panted out.
"Well, it's an addiction that I don't ever want to let go of." Lauren said.
"So…" Bo turned on her side, propping herself up on her elbow as she looked at Lauren. "If someone tried to make you go to rehab, you'd say, no, no, no." Bo sang the last part of her sentence.
"Are you trying to quote, or better yet, sing Amy Winehouse?" Lauren laughed.
"Yup, how'd I do?" Bo grinned.
"Not too bad." Lauren winked playfully at her girl. "I think we should shower and go out for dinner."
"I think that that is a great idea. We can christen the shower." Bo wiggled her eyebrows at Lauren.
"Oh no, If we do that we will never make it out of here for dinner." Lauren said as Bo pouted playfully. "Don't give me that look; we have the next 10 days to christen that shower." Lauren smiled and kissed Bo tenderly. "I promise you'll have me in that shower more than once."
"Fine, go shower before I change my mind about dinner and have you again on this bed." Bo smirked.
As Lauren got up to take a shower, Bo decided to unpack while she waited. She put her suitcase on the bed and opened it up to take a look at what Kenzi packed for her. As Bo went through the bag she came across the engagement ring she had bought for Lauren. She opened it up and a folded note fell out. Bo unfolded the note and read:
Bo,
I thought I'd pack this too for you, just in case you find the perfect time and place to finally pop the question. Go for it already, life is too short!
-Kenzi-
Bo's smile stretched across her face. Leave it to Kenzi to think of everything. Bo was honestly thrilled to see the ring in her bag, she couldn't think of a better time and place to propose than on a beautiful island, while celebrating her one year anniversary with the woman she loved more than anything. Now all she needed to do was find the perfect spot to ask for Lauren's hand in marriage, but first she had to call Lauren's mom and brother, and ask for their blessing.
Bo slipped on her robe, grabbed her phone and headed out to the balcony. She dialed Lauren's mom and waited for her to answer.
"Hello Bo! How's everything dear?" Mrs. Beattie asked upon answering the phone.
"Hey Mrs. Beattie, everything is great." Bo smiled.
"Now Bo, I've told you before, it's Alice."
"Sorry, Alice."
"No need to apologize dear. How's the vacation so far?"
"Great, it's so beautiful here." Bo said as she looked out onto the ocean.
"Wonderful, you girls will have to take lots of pictures!" Alice exclaimed.
"We will. Listen, the reason I'm calling is because… well, since we are here, on this beautiful Island in Greece, I thought that it would be a perfect time to propose to Lauren. But I couldn't do that without asking for yours and Jake's blessing first." Bo took a deep a breath. "So Alice, can I have your blessing so I can ask your daughter to marry me?"
"Of course you have our blessing! Jake is right here too." Bo could hear Jake yell in the background, "Hell yes!" Bo laughed at Jake's enthusiasm. "Bo, you make my daughter happier than I have ever seen her. So let me be the first to welcome you to the family."
Bo got teary eyed as she listened to Alice give her blessing. "Thank you Alice. I don't know exactly when I'll ask, but it will be sometime during our stay here. I'm sure Lauren will call you as soon as it's official."
"We look forward to it, have a great time dear, and don't forget to take pictures."
"Will do, talk to you soon, and thank you again." With that Bo hung up the phone and made her way back into the bedroom. She finished unpacking and took one last look at the 6 carat, princess cut diamond, set in a double French platinum band that had small diamonds going halfway around the band on both sides. The ring had cost a fortune, but Bo spared no expense. She wanted a ring that told the world that Lauren was loved by someone who would give her the best of everything.
Bo's parents died when she was a teen and they left her a sizable trust fund that she had never touched until now. Lauren's engagement ring was the first purchase she had ever made with that money. Bo never really had any plans for the money that was left to her. She always figured she'd dip into it one day when she found something worth spending it on, and Lauren was definitely it.
Bo closed the ring box and hid it away in her suitcase once again. She looked up and silently thanked her parents for the smart investments they made that allowed for her to have the finances to buy Lauren the engagement ring she deserved. She decided when she had a little time away from Lauren she'd ask the resort staff where the most romantic spot to propose was at. She'd take Lauren there and pop the question.
Local tavern an hour later…
Bo and Lauren sat in the patio of the tavern overlooking the ocean. They had just finished dinner and were now sharing a bowl of Yiaourti me Meli, which translates as yogurt and honey. Lauren was spoon feeding Bo the greek dessert in between spoons for herself, as they watched the sun set.
"It is so beautiful here." Bo said as she placed her sunglasses on the top of her head now that the sun had disappeared into the ocean.
"It sure is. I should have brought a wrap though, it's a little nippy." Lauren said as she shivered slightly when a breeze blew by.
"We can go inside, babe if you're cold." Bo said as she wrapped an arm around her blonde.
"Are you sure?" Lauren asked.
"Of course baby." Bo stood to her feet and extended her hand to Lauren. They walked back into the tavern hand in hand. They found an empty table close to the stage, where it appeared the staff was setting up for Karaoke night.
"This ought to be fun." Lauren chuckled as she sat down.
"I wonder what people around here like to sing." Bo giggled.
"Well it's a tourist spot, so I'm sure we'll hear a little of everything." Lauren said.
"Do you want another beer?" Bo asked.
"Sure, maybe I'll get tipsy enough to sing a song." Lauren laughed.
"Well in that case, I will make it my mission to get you up there." Bo kissed Lauren's cheek and headed over to the bar to order their drinks.
Lauren sat comfortably in her chair and flipped through the pictures on her phone that she had taken since they arrived. She smiled when she got to the picture that she took of Bo that afternoon after their lovemaking session. Bo was laying on her belly with her head nestled in the pillow and the thin white sheet covering her from the waist down. Her long brown locks were thrown over her right shoulder, leaving a perfectly exposed left side of her shoulder and torso. She was looking at Lauren with such love in her eyes, she was smiling and her dimple was out on display in its full glory. Lauren loved it when Bo looked at her like that and she was pleasantly surprised that she was able to capture it in the picture.
Lauren was brought out of her thoughts when somebody touched her lightly on the shoulder.
"Karen?" Lauren turned her head to look at the woman standing next to her with her hand on her shoulder. "Oh my god! It's really you isn't it?" Lauren stood to her feet; her eyes wide and mouth open as she looked at the woman from her past.
"Nikki?" Lauren hugged the woman tightly before pulling back a little to look the woman in the face. "I can't believe it, Nikki Corsi!" Lauren exclaimed. "I never thought I'd see you again. It's been like 10 years, how are you?" Lauren asked as she offered her friend a seat.
"I'm doing great. I'm here on my honeymoon." Nikki said. "I'm Mrs. Campos now." Nikki held up her ring finger that displayed the modest wedding band.
"Wow! Congratulations." Lauren smiled brightly. "So tell me about the man who made an honest woman out of you."
"Thank you. His name is Michael Campos; he's an Officer in the United States Marine Core. We met 5 years ago while I was doing my residency at a hospital near Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina." Nikki gushed.
"Where is he?" Lauren asked.
"He went to the restroom; he'll be back in a minute. I can't wait to introduce you; you're going to love him." Nikki smiled. "How about you did you and Nadia finally tie the knot?" Nikki asked, her smile faltering momentarily.
"No, god no. I haven't been with Nadia in just about 2 years now." Lauren said.
"Really, wow! Then who are you here with?" Nikki asked just as Bo approached the table.
"I'm here with this beautiful woman." Lauren smiled at Bo as she placed the beers on the table and took her seat next to her, sitting as close as possible and placing her hand on the Doctor's upper thigh. "Nikki this is my girlfriend, Bo Dennis. Bo this is Nikki one of my best friend's from Yale."
"Nikki, nice to meet you." Bo smiled and shook Nikki's hand.
"Nice to meet you Bo." Nikki returned the hand shake before looking over at Lauren. "Go Karen, you know how to pick em' she's beautiful." Nikki complemented.
"That she most definitely is." Lauren placed her hand over Bo's that rested on her thigh. "And I should let you know, I changed my name to Lauren. It's a long sorted story that fortunately for me…" Lauren squeezed Bo's hand. "Has a happy outcome."
"You look so happy and in love, Ka- Lauren." Nikki chuckled. "The name change is going to take a little getting used to. But seriously, I have never seen you so happy. Bo you must be taking good care of her."
"In more ways than one." Bo smirked.
"Bo!" Lauren blushed.
"I figured you were, she is absolutely glowing!" Nikki laughed. "Oh don't be shy Lauren; judging from the glow you have going on, I'm guessing you're finally getting sexed up the right way!"
"And on a consistent basis." Bo added as she laughed along with Nikki.
"Please don't encourage her Nikki." Lauren smiled and shook her head.
"You should be proud to have someone who knows what they're doing between the sheets; god knows you never glowed like that when you were with that bitch, Nadia." Nikki stated with a huge grin.
"Really now?" Bo bit her lip as she tried to hide her shit eating grin.
"No I never did. What can I say; you know how to put it down." Lauren leaned in and traced Bo's jawline. "You rocked my world from the first time we were together and continue to do so." Lauren placed a lingering kiss on Bo's lips.
"Whew, it's getting hot in here." Nikki fanned herself playfully. Just then a tall clean cut man approached the table with a couple of drinks in hand.
"I see you made friends already, dear." The man smiled as he handed Nikki a drink and took a seat.
"Hey you're back. Michael, this is Lauren, formerly known as Karen and her girlfriend Bo. Ladies this is my husband Michael." Nikki said as she took a sip of her drink.
"Ah, the same Karen from Yale I presume, I've heard a lot about you. It's great to put a face to the name." Michael extended his hand to both Bo and Lauren. "It's nice to meet you both." Michael sat back in his seat and rested his arm across Nikki's chair. "Of all the places to finally meet you…"
"I know right. I still can't believe that we are both here right now, especially after all these years. I am so sorry Nikki that I didn't keep in contact with you or Natasha. I really regret letting Nadia come between us." Lauren shook her head sadly.
"Hey, that's water under the bridge now. Now that we found each other again, let's not lose contact again, okay?" Nikki placed a comforting hand on Lauren's forearm. "By the way, where is home for you now?"
"Toronto. I'm practicing at a privately owned clinic there and I couldn't be happier. I've got a great job, great friends, and I've found the love of my life." Lauren looked deep into Bo's eyes for a moment before returning her attention to Nikki. "How about you?"
"We live in North Carolina at the moment, that's where Michael is stationed. When he retires next year we want to move to Connecticut, buy a house and start a family." Nikki responded.
"Good for you guys. How's Natasha? Where does she call home?" Lauren asked.
"She's doing well; she's single at the moment and living in Boston. She pretty much put her career first, but now she's ready to find someone to settle down with. So if you know any great guys…" Nikki smirked.
"I'll keep that in mind." Lauren said as she sipped her beer.
The two couples laughed and drank as the night wore on. Lauren caught up with Nikki, telling a condensed version of what went down between her and Nadia and what led to the name change and the move back to Canada. Nikki was furious when she learned how Nadia had abused Lauren, vowing to kick Nadia's ass if she ever ran into her. Bo simply said she'd have to take a number, because she was first in line to give Nadia a good ass whooping, Nikki high fived Bo in agreement.
Four beers and 2 hours later, Lauren found herself on stage preparing to belt out a tune for Karaoke night in the tavern. Bo cheered and hollered for her girl as she stood in the middle of the stage with a microphone in hand, waiting for the music to start.
"This song is for my lovely girlfriend sitting over there." Lauren pointed at Bo with a huge a grin. Bo adjusted her chair so she was completely facing Lauren. "Love you baby!" Lauren blew Bo a kiss as the music started.
To Bo's surprise it wasn't a love ballad but Ricky Martin's "She Bangs." Bo cocked her head to the side and smiled as Lauren began to move her body to the music. Nikki and Michael cheered the Doctor on as she began to sing.
Talk to me
Tell me your name
You blow me off like it's all the same
You lit a fuse and now I'm ticking away
Like a bomb
Yeah, baby
Lauren maintained eye contact with Bo as she moved her hips to the beat of the music. Bo licked her lips as she became captivated by Lauren's movements.
Talk to me
Tell me your sign
You're switching sides like a Gemini
You're playing games and now you're
Hitting my heart like a drum
Yeah, baby…
As the song progressed Lauren's movements became more sensual and Bo's arousal was through the roof. Bo never took her eyes off her girlfriend, she couldn't. Bo forgot that there were people in the room; all that mattered was Lauren and her performance. When the song approached its second chorus, Lauren stepped off the stage and stalked towards Bo.
Well, if it looks like love should be a crime
You'd better lock me up for life
Lauren pulled Bo's seat away from the table and straddled her.
I'll do the time with a smile on my face
Thinking of her in her leather and lace
Much to Bo's delight Lauren proceeded to give her a lap dance as she sung the chorus.
And she bangs, she bangs
Ooh baby
When she moves, she moves
I go crazy
'Cause she looks like a flower but she stings like a bee
Like every girl in history
She bangs, she bangs
I'm wasted by the way
She moves, she moves
No one ever looked so fine
She reminds me
That a woman got one thing on her mind
The crowd in the bar began to clap and cheer on Lauren as she continued to dance in Bo's lap. Nikki picked up Lauren's phone and began taking pictures of the performance.
Well, if lady luck gets on my side
We're gonna rock this town alive
I'll let her rough me up
Till she knocks me out
'Cause she walks like she talks
And she talks like she walks
And she bangs, she bangs…
When the song was finished Lauren moved to stand but Bo stopped her and brought in for a passionate kiss as the entire tavern erupted into applause. Bo broke the kiss, her hands resting on Lauren's hips as Lauren's arms hung loosely around Bo's neck.
"That was so fucking hot babe." Bo looked at Lauren with intensity in her eyes that made Lauren instantly wet. "I want to fuck you so bad right now." Bo whispered into Lauren's ear.
Lauren's hips rocked into Bo like they had a mind of their own. "Let's get out of here." Lauren stood to her feet to let Bo stand.
"Well, it was very nice to meet you both; we'll meet up for dinner tomorrow." Bo wrapped her arm around Lauren's waist and pulled her in close. "But right now, I need to go make love to my sexy girlfriend who jumpstarted my libido with that little performance." Bo turned toward Lauren and began kissing her neck.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Lauren blushed as Bo continued to nibble on her neck.
"You ladies enjoy your evening, see you tomorrow." Nikki winked at Lauren as Bo began to pull her towards the exit.
They practically ran back to their room. Bo couldn't wait she had Lauren's pants unbuttoned and her body pinned against the wall before the door to the room was secured. They spent the rest of their evening taking each other on just about every surface in their room, before passing out on their plush king sized bed, completely exhausted but oh so satisfied.
