Bo
Bo was rushing around her room, trying to find something to wear. Something fitting. Something formal yet casual. She had asked Lauren out, not expecting her to say yes so quickly.
She was nervous too. She had no idea where they would be going. What Lauren was in the mood for. They could order anything from room service or have it delivered, but Bo wanted Lauren to get some fresh air. To stretch her legs outside, and not just walk out to the patio they shared.
She shook her head so many times just wondering what the hell she was doing. She wasn't really considering this as a date. Just dinner. Lauren was still wanted by the Fae. So she had to be safe about it. Think ahead. She hoped they wouldn't be exposing themselves. She wasn't ready to go home yet. Right now she was home and it was nice. Smiling. She pulled out her phone.
Lauren
Lauren had dressed from her waist down. She had no idea what she wanted to wear as a top. Bo had already seen her in her button downs. The white one at least. She had no idea where they were going. She had thought about thinking of it as a date, but she changed her mind on that. It was just dinner.
She was nervous too. She had no idea what Bo was in the mood for. Room service and take out where just a phone call away. Maybe Bo just needs to stretch her legs and get some air. Not just the small patio.
What are you doing Lewis? You barely know this woman. Bo had done more for Lauren in the short amount of time that she has known her, than the Fae had done in the five years she had been slaving away for them. She knows there is still a huge target on her back. The Fae was still after her. She did feel a little safe though. Safer than she had felt in any lab with her back turned towards the doors. Towards the Ash. Towards Dyson. She had always expected the wolf to bite her head off. Literally.
Bo has never made her feel that way. Not even when she was standing behind her in the lab waiting to see if Lauren could really help her with her feeding. After treating an Incubus, Lauren was ready and able. Sure she was taking a risk given all she had on the line, but Bo was worth crossing that line.
All the years she spent treating and studying the Fae, she had never come across a Succubus. They were only words on a page until Bo showed up. She had heard rumors about Aife, but nobody ever expected that Succubus to show up again.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts. She finally picked a top, put it on, and went about fixing her hair.
Kenzi
Kenzi had been trying everything she could think of. Hale was right, she wasn't getting any signal on her phone. As time passed the room was starting to smell. She used her sleeves to cover her nose until she needed to take a breath. She walked around the room trying to kill time.
She just needed to find Bo and everything would be ok. They hadn't been friends for very long, but long enough to matter more than how Bo was currently treating her. But was it really Kenzi's fault that Bo couldn't pick between the Doctor or wolf? Or refused to make her feelings known?
The Succubus told Kenzi herself that she and Dyson were getting closer, and she was headed to tell Lauren that they weren't going to be anything other than associates. So ok. Associates was Kenzi's description of the situation. Look at the evidence. How many times had she slept with Dyson? Led all of them to believe he wasn't her choice?
Kenzi took a seat in the only chair in the room. She just needed to wait. Wait for her rescuers, the Succubus or the wolf. Or Trick but he never much needed to come down to the precinct as far as she could see.
Hale
Hale was sitting in the back of the courtroom. Nadia was standing next to her attorney. He almost felt sorry for her. But seeing the crime scene photos made the Siren cringe. She was a baby killer. She didn't deserve pity. She deserved to be in a cage alone, for the rest of her life.
Shaking his head, he turned to his left when he heard the doors opening. He gasped at the sight. Aife and Sasha had just walked in together. He wanted to confront them when heard a gavel being slammed.
"Nadia Wilson you are being charged with Murder in the First Degree in the murders of your ex-girlfriend, Stacey Smith and her small children. How do you plead?
"Guilty! Aife screamed from behind the defendant.
"Quiet or I will clear the room. Now Nadia Wilson, how do you plead? The Judge asked again.
Nadia stood there. Looking straight ahead. Five years ago, she had her whole life planned out in front of her. She had found a gf that didn't care what her past was. So why did Lauren care now? They all have pasts that they are not proud of. Here she stood in the ugliest suit, she had ever seen. In front of people, she had never seen before.
"Nadia? You need to speak". Melinda Moore spoke as she poked her client.
"Not guilty". Nadia said.
"The hell you say". Aife laughed.
"Ms. One more outburst and I will have you removed". The Judge said angrily.
"Remove me? I'd like to see you try". Aife winked.
"Bailiffs remove that woman! The Judge screamed.
Aife laughed and waited for the bailiffs to get close enough. "Easy boys". She said as she pulsed them. The men took the closest seats.
"Enter a not guilty plea for the defendant". The Judge said.
"Your Honor we would like to expedite the trial". Melinda Moore said.
"She could always waive her right to a trial". The Judge said.
"No! Aife screamed.
"Quiet! The Judge screamed. He still wanted to remove Aife, but saw what she had done to the bailiffs, and backed down.
"As you can see Your Honor the sooner we get this over with the better". Melinda Moore said.
"Does the Prosecution have any objections? The Judge asked.
"No Your Honor. Our case is solid and if she wants a quick trial, so be it". Janice Williams said.
"Very well. We will set the court date for a week from now...". The Judge started.
"Your Honor the people request the defendant be remanded. She has no close ties to the community and given the nature of her charges, she would be a danger to the community". Janice Williams said.
"Fine. The defendant is remanded". The Judge ordered.
Aife winked as Nadia turned to look at her. She hated the woman and wondered why she was even there. She did want to see Lauren though. She thought she at least deserved that.
"You know what to do". Aife said coolly watching as Nadia walked out of the room.
"Yes ma'am". Sasha said standing up, and walking out of the room.
"Aife? What the hell was that about? Were you trying to get this case thrown out before it started? Hale asked angrily.
"You will make Captain soon enough, if that is what you're worried about". Aife laughed.
"That's not it. You almost blew the whole thing". Hale said.
"That Judge knows his place. He wouldn't stop the arraignment or throw me out". Aife laughed.
Hale shook his head. He had no clue what she was talking about and it was probably for the best that he did not know.
Aife left Hale to his own thoughts and walked out of the building. She pulled out her phone and sent Bo a text message. Just the thought of Nadia hiding in jail, pissed the Succubus off. That's why she would be getting some company in the form of Sasha
By the time a week had passed, Nadia wouldn't just be standing trial, she would be sitting down. No way was she going to be getting any sleep anytime soon. Sasha is a witch that knows all kinds of spells. Aife laughed wondering if they would even recognize her by then. She could just kill her, but she wants her to know the stench of jail and prison cells. Lauren deserves justice too.
The Dal
Trick had been busy cleaning the place. Even spots that he had already cleaned before. He was in the middle of a nasty storm. An impending war. He couldn't even write in his blood to fix it, because doing so would doom them all to another kind of hell.
The truth is. He missed Bo. Seeing the bouncy Succubus show up for drinks with Kenzi. Just seeing her at all. Before Aife could get to her, influence her. She was going to be his number one project. He could teach her all about the Fae and their bloodline. Teach her how to behave and not step on any unnecessary toes. She was so young. Ripe for the picking for anyone.
She's at that pinnacle that Aife once was, before she snapped, and stopped caring what anyone besides Isabeau thought of her. That's why he needed her now. To reel her back before she snapped and stopped caring about him. About the Fae laws and world. But he also knew he needed to wait for Bo to come home on her own.
"Where is Dyson? Kenzi asked as she stormed in and immediately took a seat.
"How did you get out? Trick asked.
"Hale let me out when I told him I would come straight here. Now where is Dyson? Kenzi asked again.
"I don't know. I told him that he made this mess. He will clean it up, if he can". Trick sighed at the sight and sound of Kenzi. Another reason he missed Bo, Bo was a talker, he wasn't.
"He's not answering any of my calls or texts. I thought he would be here". Kenzi groaned.
"He probably doesn't want to put you in any danger. You know he has a growing soft spot for you". Trick said.
"Dude I am not as weak and meek as I look. I have been out on plenty of cases and in dangerous situations with Bo and survived". Kenzi said.
"Dyson won't be following any rules. He is out there looking for Bo and won't stop until he finds her. If he has to step on some toes, he will". Trick explained.
Kenzi didn't like that. She needed Dyson there and alive. She wanted to be there when he found Bo. They both needed to be there. She said she was going to look for Lauren and didn't even come back for good when she found her. She lied to her friend. Dyson was her only shot at finding Bo now. She didn't know or trust any other shifters. None with the loyalty to Bo that they possessed.
"Did you try his place? Trick asked. He wasn't in the mood for Kenzi and her antics.
"Yep. Nothing there. Only his vests and jackets on his bed". Kenzi said.
"Then he's likely shifted and run off". Trick said.
"Aren't you worried about Bo or Dyson at all? I know I haven't known you long but this is odd". Kenzi said pointing to Trick cleaning the Dal. Even spots she had watched him clean already.
"Aife knows where Bo is and is likely protecting them. I advised Dyson to clean up his own mess. There is a huge fallout coming and I can't take sides right now". Trick explained.
"So that's it then. Only me and Dyson are on the case". Kenzi sighed.
"Kenzi you are still Bo's claimed human. That gives you some protection but it doesn't give you the right to go out and try to push the Fae around. That's not how a claim works. Bo would never attack you, but Aife never followed the rules or laws much". Trick sighed walking behind the bar.
"Bo kicked her ass before. She can and would do it again". Kenzi said.
"With my help, Aife softened and Bo grew stronger. They cannot fight each other again, it wouldn't be good for anyone, nor good for you to try and instigate it, just to get Bo back here. Bo is a very powerful Succubus. She is a lot stronger than she knows or any of us know". Trick said now standing directly in front of Kenzi.
"I get it. Bo wanted to find Lauren alone. So now that we are pretty sure that she's found her, she needs to come home". Kenz said.
"Bo will not come back here until she is ready. We all know that you don't like Lauren very much. You better work on that before Bo returns". Trick suggested.
"No I don't like her. I don't trust her! She hurt Bo! Kenzi snapped angrily.
"Not enough to keep Bo from going after her. Dr. Lewis is important to Bo. As long as the Fae are after her, Bo will be right by her side". Trick said.
"Since when did you become so knowledgable of Bo and Lauren? Kenzi asked.
"I know what it's like when a Succubus looks at you like Bo looks at Lauren. Whether Bo has realized it herself, the Succubus has grown to care for Lauren too". Trick explained. He swallowed hard and turned around to polish some glasses. He longed to have his Succubus back, but there was nothing he could do or write in his blood to fix that.
That settled it for Kenzi. If she was going to find Bo, she needed to find Dyson. Right now, he was the only one that cared about Bo. To get her away from Lauren.
She downed a double shot of Whiskey, nodded to Trick and walked out of the Dal. Being there wasn't helping her at the moment. If Dyson had shifted like Trick suspected, there was no way for her to reach him. She jumped into the car she had stolen and drove back to his place.
Bo and Lauren
Bo swallowed hard and bit her lip. "Wow!
"Wow back! Lauren smiled as the women took in the sight of each other.
Bo inhaled taking in Lauren's scent. It was very nice. She bit her lip again and cleared her throat. "So are you ready?
"Yes. I am". Lauren said rubbing her hands down her pants.
"Then after you". Bo smiled as she waited for Lauren to cross in front of her. She closed her eyes and inhaled again as Lauren walked by.
The women walked quietly towards the elevator. Their heartbeats was the only sound besides their heels tapping against the marble floors. Lauren pushed the down button and slapped her hands gently against her sides. Nerves. Pure nerves. Bo stared straight head until the doors opened and Lauren walked in first.
Lauren was relieved that they were alone. She didn't want to make small talk. The butterflies in her stomach were starting to feel like hunger pains.
"This isn't a date". The women said in unison and laughed.
"Sorry". Lauren said.
"No it's ok. I understand you are not ready for that and to be honest neither am I". Bo smiled softly watching the floor numbers change.
"Bo". Lauren said.
"No. Really Lauren it's ok. Nobody would expect you to be ready to date so soon after all you have just gone through". Bo said as they neared the first floor.
"Hey friends go out to dinner. I am not saying we will never be more...". Lauren sighed taking a deep breath.
"I get it Lauren. I do. You're right, friends do go out to dinner". Bo said as she held the doors open for Lauren to walk out and other guests to enter the elevator.
The women walked through the lobby and heard an old man getting on the elevator say that they are a cute couple. Bo blushed and pierced her lips together.
The doorman held the door for them as they finally made it outside. Bo released the breath she had been holding like a puff of cigarette smoke into the air. She smiled when the valet had returned with her car. She almost wanted to request a limo, but wanted the privacy of having Lauren all to herself without some pimpled geek trying to listen to their conversation.
The air was a bit crisp but not cold enough to keep the top up on the car. Their hair was still a bit wet as it framed their faces. Bo smiled at the thought of them dressing indentically in jeans and sleeveless tops. She had a few blankets and a jacket in the back if Lauren got cold during the night.
"So what are you in the mood for? Pasta? Burgers? Steaks? Bo asked softly.
"A steak house sounds nice". Lauren smiled pushing a lock of hair behind her ear.
"MMm. I was so hopoing you would say that! I can eat some Lobster". Bo smiled licking her lips.
Lauren laughed as they made small talk during the drive. She was shocked Bo liked seafood at all. They agreed to go dancing afterwards since the night was young. They also checked ahead to make sure there wasn't a dress code.
Bo's nerves had calmed down. This was going to be easier than she thought. She was glad she asked because staying in the hotel felt like trapping Lauren in a building. She wasn't the Light Fae. She appreciated the woman sitting across from her.
Lauren smiled internally at how easy it was to talk to Bo. They were in a good spot and she craved more but couldn't bring herself to open up her heart completely yet. Nadia had wrecked her almost as badly as the Fae had. All of her work and sacrifices was for nothing. This was going to be fun. Something she hadn't had in years.
"Here we are". Bo smiled as she pulled into the parking lot and parked. She touched Lauren's arm when the Doctor unbuckled her seat belt and ran around to open her door.
Bo smiled as she helped Lauren out of the car and frowned as she released her hand. Friends didn't hold hands. Not friends like them anyway. The restaurant was busy but Bo had other plans. It was why she was happy that Lauren had picked a steak house. She had called ahead and found most of the staff was Fae and anything she wanted, she could get.
"Reservation for Dennis". Bo said to the host.
"Yes ma'am. Your table is ready. Right this way". The tall dark haired man said as he turned around.
"Reservation? You had this planned already? Lauren asked.
"No I wasn't expecting you to go out with me, but I did call ahead and reserved a table". Bo smiled as they followed the man.
Lauren gasped as they entered a large room with a table for two in the middle.
"I didn't know what you wanted. So I had them prepare everything". Bo said softly as Lauren looked over the buffet surrounding their table. Everything was hot as steam rose from every pan.
"Wow! Was all Lauren could get out.
"Go ahead and make your plates or plate. I am going to get my lobster". Bo smiled as her eyes widened.
"Bo we can't possibly eat all of this". Lauren whispered.
"It's ok Dr. Lewis. They are going to take the rest to a homeless shelter, as soon as we tell them we've had enough". Bo said.
"They don't normally do that do they? Lauren asked as she was making her choices.
"No I demanded it". Bo said. She knew what hungry humans looked like. She had seen Lauren near starvation so many times already. Which is why she wanted to make sure she got a good meal in tonight. They could dance it off later.
"Bo...". Lauren whispered.
"If you don't hurry, I will be eating alone". Bo laughed as Lauren kept coming up with something to say.
Lauren was touched that Bo thought so much of her, that she planned all of this and thought about the homeless too. Fae didn't care about humans, but Bo does.
"Do you have enough? Bo asked as she waited for Lauren to set down every plate. Bo frowned when she saw how much she was piling on her plates. The woman must be starving, and Bo had failed her as host back at the hotel.
"I do now". Lauren said finally sitting down with her dessert plate.
"We have enough. Please transport the rest to a homeless shelter or two immediately". Bo said to the two men standing in the doorways.
"Do you think they are really going to do that? Lauren asked.
"They have to. I pulled my weight". Bo said.
"You're weight? Lauren asked.
"I told them about Aife and they happily complied". Bo said.
"This is a Fae restaurant? Lauren gasped.
"Don't do that Lauren. You are safe here. You will always be safe with me". Bo said gently squeezing Lauren's hand before she released it.
"Do they know what I am? Who I am? Lauren asked looking around.
"Yes they know, but who gives a damn. You have the right to go out if you want to. They will not harm you, you have my word, and protection". Bo said softly as she dipped a piece of lobster into some drawn butter.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to do this. Tonight". Lauren said.
"Don't be sorry. I should have told you who they were. I just didn't want you to panic like you are doing right now. So please relax and enjoy yourself and the food". Bo said softly.
Lauren sighed and bowed her head. Was this too soon to go out? Go out at all?
"No Lauren. Eat your food. Drink your wine. Smile. You deserve to do all of those things and so much more. You are free now. There is nothing the Fae can and will do to you. There would be hell to pay if they try". Bo said seriously.
Lauren bit her lip and lifted her fork. Bo was right. She can't freak out like she just did. It wasn't healthy and she didn't want to ruin Bo's night and all the planning she put into this. This was supposed to be a happy and fun night. She wasn't going to allow her paranoia to dampen it any further.
Bo smiled when Lauren took more bites and drank her wine. The Succubus wasn't worried. Everything she had planned had been to the benefit of Lauren's safety, and enjoyment. She was shocked however when she just mentioned Aife's name and the men and women were so quick and compliant about her requests.
Dyson and Kenzi.
Dyson had gone home to shower and dress. He wasn't picking up Bo's scent at all. It had gone cold and she was likely too far away for him to pick it up.
The Norn had weakened him. If he was fully himself, he would be able to find Bo. Sustained enough to keep running in the woods. But Bo likely hadn't been near the woods. She was probably somewhere in the outer limits or city.
He remembered the first time he saw Bo. She looked and smelled like trouble. When he mentioned her to Trick. The blood sage asked for details. Once he had given them, Trick realized who she could be and ordered him to watch her closely. He did and fell for her in the process. Then she started trusting Lauren's tests and knowledge of the Fae more than anything he said. She was even ahead of him in the Ash's eyes. Once the Ash discovered that Lauren had been helping Bo, he wanted to use that to his advantage. The Doctor was his in and it left Dyson out.
That was too much power and influence for a human to have. Bo was too much for her to deserve and she doesn't deserve Bo. He can give Bo all that she wants. All that she needs. Yes his manhood had been taken, but Bo could help him get them back, and they would be back.
His nose twitched and he readied for a guest. Pulling on a shirt, he walked over to the door and opened it before she even knocked.
"Kenzi. What are you doing here? Dyson asked walking away from the door.
"Well hello to you too". Kenzi groaned.
"I'm sorry Kenz. What's up? Dyson asked turning around to face her.
"One you need a housekeeper, and two, you and I are the only two left". Kenzi said as she waved off the funk clouding her nose.
"The last two? Dyson asked.
"The last two that cares about finding Bo. Everyone else seems content on just waiting for her to come home. She won't as long as Lauren is on the run". Kenzi explained.
"I just came home to rest. I am not ready to go back out and look yet. I need to find more leads first and rest my wolf". Dyson explained.
"Rest your wolf? Since when is your wolf tired?! Kenzi gasped.
"Since I went to the Norn". Dyson replied.
"Who is this bitch and do I need to talk to her to make you whole again? Kenzi asked angrily.
"No! Kenzi you don't want to screw with her, she would kill you or take something you won't be willing to give up". Dyson said.
"Then how are you going to get your cojones back? Kenzi asked.
"Bo will help me. I am sure of it". Dyson said.
"So go and get her! Kenzi said.
"Not tonight Kenzi. I am tired, like I told you". Dyson said.
"Do not be going soft on me now! Pretend like you still have a set and find Bo! Kenzi snapped.
"Not tonight Kenzi! Dyson snapped back.
"I will make a deal with you. If you go find Bo, I won't tell her what I know". Kenzi said.
"That's blackmail and you don't know anything". Dyson said coolly.
"I know that Trick told you to watch her. I know that you nearly once killed her mother before Bo was born". Kenzi rattled off.
"Get out! Dyson snapped pointing towards the door.
"Fine but Bo will hear about this". Kenzi said grabbing her sword. She needed it with a MIA Succubus.
"What makes you think Aife hasn't already told her? Dyson countered.
He had Kenzi there. Aife was not one to lie to Bo. Even in her crazy ranting and antics, she told Bo the truth. Her plan to make Dyson search for Bo backfired and it backfired big. She had no choice but to call on her Cousins. If they couldn't find Bo, nobody would.
Bo and Lauren.
Bo was in hysterics as she leaned over the table.
"What's so funny? Lauren asked.
"I didn't think you could eat that much! Bo laughed again.
"I was hungry". Lauren replied.
"You will need to work that off later". Bo said seriously.
"Bo I am not ready". Lauren said.
"Dancing, Lauren. I meant dancing". Bo smiled and watched as Lauren blushed.
"Oh.. well that I can do". Lauren smiled as she finished off her latest glass of wine.
Bo laughed and used her glass to toast Lauren. She was glad the Doctor was enjoying herself, and she had a hunch it wasn't the wine mellowing her out.
The women finished their desserts and Bo threw a big tip on the table and escorted Lauren out. The Doctor seemed a bit tipsy and Bo was ok with that. Lauren wasn't driving them to their next destination and Bo wasn't going to allow her to harm herself. They climbed into the car and Lauren rested her head on the headrest taking large breaths. The stars were out, and they were beautiful.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at a club Bo had picked out. Just like the restaurant, they were given their own section. The music was bumping and so was Lauren as she walked. Bo still held her hand to steady her. Once the Doctor started eating appetizers, she let go.
Bo folded her arms and watched Lauren walk around the small room. She as dancing alone and enjoying herself. Once Lauren realized Bo was being a wallflower, she spoke up.
"I thought you were taking me dancing". Lauren said.
"I did. I got you here. Now you can dance". Bo smiled softly. She held her breath as Lauren danced over to her.
"Aren't you going to dance with me? Lauren asked.
"I don't dance. My two left feet can never go right, even with a turn signal". Bo said shyly.
"Bo Dennis the way you have sex, there is no way that you don't have rhythm". Lauren laughed.
"Make love". Bo said.
"What? Lauren asked seriously.
"I made love to you Lauren. It wasn't sex". Bo said biting her lip.
Lauren blushed and stepped towards the Succubus. "Would you like to dance?
"Ok. But I warned you, I don't dance". Bo said accepting Lauren's hands.
The Doctor spent the next hour teaching Bo how to two step. The Succubus didn't lie about her feet. She had no coordination, and Lauren was determined to correct that.
Now that they were in a steady groove. Lauren spoke. "Why me?
"Huh? Bo asked looking at the Doctor.
"Why do you want to date me? Lauren asked softly as they swayed, and stared into each other's eyes.
"Because you are a breath of fresh air in a world that was choking me, until I met you". Bo smiled softly and watched in adoration as Lauren blushed and bowed her head.
"Bo I am a human". Lauren said softly not looking at Bo again yet.
"I don't care about that Lauren. I'm a Succubus. I can't be everything that you need me to be either. But I can take care of you. Protect you. Love you more than I have ever loved anyone". Bo said softly.
"Thank you but this is still not a date". Lauren said softly.
"Of course not". Bo said suddenly finding her groove and twirled Lauren around and pulled her back to her.
"So? Bo asked.
"So? Lauren replied.
"Why me? Bo asked.
"Bo...". Lauren.
"I know you Lauren. Already. Your aura makes a Succubus need sunglasses inside of a dark room". Bo said.
Lauren blushed as they constantly swayed in each other's arms. "You're beautiful Bo. You're a good woman and more importantly, you don't treat me like any other Fae would".
"Lauren I'm sorry. I know I treated you badly after that night. It just meant more to me than any other night I ever had in my life. You were still alive and warm in my bed. I never wanted you to leave, even when I said don't forget your dog collar. I just needed to breathe and listen to you". Bo sighed and looked around the room in embarrassment. She had treated Lauren terribly.
Lauren didn't like the look in Bo's eyes or on her face. "Hey I thought we were supposed to be having fun".
"I am having fun". Bo smiled as she twirled Lauren twice before bringing her back against her body.
"Bo it doesn't have to all be settled and said tonight. I know we still have a lot to talk about". Lauren whispered against Bo's neck. The Succubus jumped at Lauren's hot breath against her neck.
"I want you Lauren. Not just tonight or the weeks that follow. We can go as slowly as you need to go". Bo said holding tears in. Happy tears.
"I know". Lauren cooed as she rubbed Bo's back. She knew the Succubus was trying not to cry without even looking at her.
The women spent the next two hours swaying to the music. This was what both of them wanted. Needed. To feel close to the one person that made them feel like they were worth something other than a great body and sex.
Lauren hadn't touched anyone in five years, and Bo had touched her before she ever touched her. For the first time she wasn't worried about anything. No reporting to anyone. No being pulled around to do someone else's bidding. No Fae looking over her shoulder except the Succubus currently doing that in her arms. She had nowhere to be. Nowhere to live and none of that mattered. Because Bo was starting to feel like home.
Bo licked her lips as Lauren's body warmth continued to relax her. She wasn't ready to go back home. What home? She wasn't happy there. She wasn't even accepted there. She was accepted right where she was, in Lauren's arms. The Fae wanted her to choose a side so she could be bossed around. No. She was with the only side that mattered, love.

Bo and Lauren continue to bond.
Aife learns Nadia's lawyers want Lauren to testify.
Dyson thinks he has found Lauren's scent.
