Hey, everyone! Thanks for all of your great feedback on the last chapter. This is a quick chapter, Lauren's POV. To the reviewer who said that I seem to move the story forward every chapter - well, this one doesn't, lol, but maybe the next one will.
Also, to the review who said I would be fun to have a drink with - I AM. Thank you for noticing lol
Side note, just started reading a book called "Let's Pretend This Never Happened" by Jenny Lawson. If you share my weird sense of humor, check it out. I feel like I'm reading my own mind, and I love it.
Enjoy!
"God, I'm so in love with you," Lauren sighed out. She didn't think about the words before she said them, and even as they came out of her mouth she had some vague thought that she hadn't really said them, just thought them.
"What?" she heard Bo ask, her voice sounding clipped, surprised.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Lauren's eyes flew open and she was caught by the way Bo was looking at her, eyes wide. Oh, God, I've fucked this up. Fix this. FIX THIS.
"Um, I…what I meant was…"
Lauren was about to berate herself for the fumbling response when Bo pulled her in and Lauren felt their lips crash together. At the feeling of Bo against her, the lame excuse Lauren was trying to fabricate darted out of her mind. She struggled to keep the thoughts going – when Bo stepped back, she needed to have her shit together – but somewhere in the back of her mind logic was trying to break through, noting that if Bo was really that freaked out, they probably wouldn't be making out right now.
When Bo released her slightly and pulled back, Lauren was caught in Bo's gaze. Looking into Lauren's eyes, Bo said "I'm in love with you, too."
Lauren was frozen in place, her eyes locked with Bo. She wanted to remember everything about this moment – the way the music was throbbing around them, some song she had never heard before and probably would never be able to identify again, the way the flickering lights made Bo's eyes sparkle, the way Bo's hands felt on Lauren's sides, firm and gentle at the same time, a feeling that more or less was Bo in a nutshell.
She wanted to say something fabulous, something epic, something that communicated everything she was feeling in that moment. Instead, she heard her voice break almost imperceptibly as she said "you are?"
Bo swept a piece of Lauren's hair behind her ear and gave her a bemused smile. Lauren's mind was racing; this was Bo, after all. Bo. She had never hidden the fact that she wasn't a big proponent of relationships, that her parents had firmly established in her mind that relationships and love were just pain. If she pushed Bo, she could lose her. Had Bo just said that she loved Lauren as a way to placate her? Or what if she did mean it, but that made her think that she and Lauren shouldn't be together, or –
Bo stroked her fingers across Lauren's cheek, drawing her attention back. "Stop thinking, Dr. Lewis," she said, her voice gentle.
"I just…I don't want you to feel like you have to say it, or that –"
Bo laid her finger over Lauren's lips, quieting her. When Lauren stilled, Bo spoke. "I have been in love with you…well, I don't know how long. Since I met you, maybe. I can't really point to the moment when how I felt about you changed, so I guess I've loved you since that first time you told me I could do better." Bo smiled slightly at the memory.
Lauren wasn't breathing. Why had she lost the power of speech? Stop thinking Bo's voice repeated in her head. And so she did.
Lauren quickly reached up and put her hand on the side of Bo's neck, pulling her in and kissing her. She felt Bo respond, opening her mouth under Lauren's, their tongues tangling with one another. Lauren could feel Bo's breasts pressed against her, making her lose focus on the fact that they were still in public. She felt Bo's hands slide up to the sides of her breasts, and she audibly moaned.
"Bo," Lauren said, almost a whimper as she pulled back. Bo almost stumbled forward, her lips still searching for Lauren, not willing to end the kiss. "Baby, we have to stop."
Bo pulled Lauren back to her and kissed her again. "Why," she whispered against Lauren's lips. Lauren's tongue sought out Bo's again, and Lauren dropped her hands to Bo's ass, pulling her hips as close as possible. Lauren groaned again as Bo pressed against her.
"Shit…Bo…" Bo rotated her hips against Laurens and groaned. "We have to stop, baby," Lauren said, making no effort to release Bo.
Lauren was almost painfully aroused. If this went on much longer, she didn't know if she would be able to stop. She loosened her grip on Bo and tried to catch her breath. She looked up into Bo's eyes and saw how dark they were. She saw the look of lust on Bo's face that she knew was on hers as well, and felt another jolt of arousal shoot through her.
"Can we leave?" Lauren breathed out.
Bo seemed to suddenly register where they were and looked at the time with a sigh. "Probably not yet."
Lauren leaned into Bo, placing her head on Bo's shoulder, against her neck. "Soon?" Lauren said against Bo's neck. Lauren saw goose bumps rise on Bo's skin at the contact of her breath.
"God…" Bo groaned. "Maybe they won't notice…"
Lauren took a deep breath of Bo's skin and soon found her tongue battling with Bo's again. Lauren's nipples were painfully erect and hard, and when Bo shifted against her groaned deeply against Bo.
Bo pulled back a half step, trying to get some distance between her and Lauren. "Unless you want to give everyone here a show, we really have to stop now," Bo groaned. Lauren hesitated for a moment, and Bo groaned louder. "Shit, are you thinking about it?!"
"It's been three days," Lauren murmured against Bo's mouth as she drew her close again. "And I've thought about you…a lot…"
Bo stepped back, her eyes nearly black. "Okay, new plan, we're going to get through this evening as fast possible and get out of here."
Lauren nodded, her eyes drifting back to Bo's lips. She was about to reach for Bo again when Bo put her hands on Lauren's shoulders. "Baby…"
Lauren smiled slightly. "Sorry." She ran her finger down Bo's jaw, tracing the line of her collarbone, drifting toward Bo's breasts.
Bo took her hand. "Fuck, we have to get out of here."
Lauren and Bo headed back toward where the group had been sitting, trying to get themselves back under control. When they arrived, they found Kenzi and Tamsin sitting.
"BoBo! LoLo!" Kenzi shouted, her voice clearly drunk. "Come drink with us!"
So much for a quick, unnoticed exit. Bo shot Lauren an apologetic look as they took seats, accepting the shots Kenzi was offering them.
Tamsin looked at them with a wicked smile. "So, what have you two been up to?"
"Dancing," Bo said firmly.
Lauren didn't answer, taking her shot, trying to clear her head enough to get through the rest of the evening.
"I bet," Tamsin said, reclining slightly in her seat.
The night continued on. Every time Bo and Lauren attempted to leave, they were interrupted by some reason to wait – a toast to Nate and Kenzi, Kenzi pulling Bo away to dance, Ciara engaging Lauren in conversation about…well, Lauren wasn't focused, so she wasn't sure what.
Lauren tried to keep herself under control. She tried to ignore the throbbing between her legs when she caught the smell of Bo, when Bo pressed against her side while they were sitting next to each other, when she felt Bo's breath on her ear when Bo leaned in to tell her something. She continued to drink, hoping to distract herself, but all it seemed to do was to tune her senses more into Bo.
Finally, Dyson and Ciara announced that it was late and that they were going to call it a night. Lauren suddenly wanted to kiss Dyson. Not as much as she wanted to kiss Bo, but…whatever, the point was, now she and Bo were able to slip into the crowd and then leave without being noticed.
Once they got outside the club, Bo hailed a taxi and they climbed in the back. She passed the driver some cash, told him the address, and told him it was all his if he got them there in less than ten minutes. Lauren thought she saw the driver smirk, but soon found she didn't care when Bo's mouth sealed against hers.
Lauren found her hands under Bo's shirt, and she made a conscious effort to keep them at Bo's waist, to avoid giving the driver more of a show than he was already getting. They somehow managed to keep themselves together until they arrived at Lauren's.
Lauren fumbled with her keys, trying to get the door open as Bo pressed behind her, her lips latched onto the back of Lauren's neck. The feel of Bo's tongue against her, Bo's hands reaching around and cupping Lauren's breasts, stroking her hardened nipples with her thumbs, made unlocking the door a near Herculean feat.
"Hurry, baby," Bo groaned against Lauren's neck.
"Shit…I'm trying…" Lauren said, trying desperately to focus on the task at hand rather than on Bo.
"God, I want to fuck you…"
Lauren nearly cried. She was completely soaked, her blood on fire, Bo was pressed against her, her hips pressing into Lauren's ass, rotating against her as if Bo couldn't control them…and, finally, the door came open.
They nearly fell inside, Bo kicking the door closed behind them. Lauren turned to face Bo and Bo immediately pressed Lauren against the wall, her hands reaching inside of Lauren's pants.
"Fuck, your dripping," Bo moaned as Lauren latched her mouth onto Bo's neck, biting slightly, making Bo cry out.
Lauren clawed at Bo's shirt, pushing it out of the way enough to allow her to suck on Bo's right breast. Bo was no help in this process, however, more focused on getting Lauren's pants off of her.
They continued to struggle for a moment before separating just enough to remove each other's clothes. When they were finally divested of their garments, they immediately came back together.
Bo reached her hand back down, cupping Lauren's sex and reveling in the wetness gathered there. Lauren, for her part, reached down and pushed her fingers into Bo, feeling her walls contract around her fingers as her body reacted to the sudden intrusion. Bo cried out at the feeling of Lauren's fingers and turned her hand, pushing her thumb into Lauren so she could press it firmly against Lauren's g-spot.
Lauren froze, her breathing halted, at the overwhelming sensation. "Goddd…" she ground out, pushing her fingers deeper into Bo. She felt Bo whimpering against her, her hips jerking of their own accord, seeking more friction with Lauren's fingers.
The continued to press into each other, harder and harder, until they were both crying out in ecstasy. Lauren's legs were weak and shaking with the intensity of her orgasm. She felt certain that the only thing holding her up was Bo pressed against her, pinning her to the wall.
Lauren kissed Bo again, feeling Bo sagging against her as well as she tried to gather herself. They started sinking, slightly, and Lauren released Bo from the kiss, trying to catch her breath.
"We haven't made it very far inside," Lauren said with a smile, realizing they were still beside the door.
"I'm shocked we made it at all," Bo answered, kissing Lauren again.
"Mmm," Lauren hummed, running her hands lazily down to Bo's ass, cupping her, drawing her back against Lauren.
Lauren sighed as she felt Bo's wetness against her, her hips moving against Bo of their own accord.
The kiss continued for a few minutes, and soon Lauren was breathless again, fresh arousal coursing through her. "Couch?" she breathed out. Bo nodded and they maneuvered off the wall, still kissing one another.
When they reached the couch, Bo dropped down on to it and Lauren stepped back. Bo motioned for Lauren to join her, but Lauren stood back, admiring the view in front of her, of Bo's chest heaving with arousal, of the wetness glistening between her thighs. She sat down on her knees, opened Bo's legs wider, and ran her tongue over Bo, feeling Bo quiver with pleasure above her.
"Mmm…baby…" Bo groaned, her legs spreading wider, her back arching, her hands tangling into Lauren's hair. "Come…up…let me…I want to taste you…God…"
Lauren ignored the requests, for now. She ran her tongue over Bo, long strokes punctuated but firm licks of Bo's clit. Every time she did it, Bo cried out, her legs seeming to open wider with every pass.
At the sounds Bo was making, Lauren felt her own arousal increase until she was nearly squirming, trying to get some relief.
Bo saw her dilemma and tried to pull Lauren up. "Baby…fuuuck…Baby, please let me…ahhh…let…shit…let me help…"
Somehow Bo marshaled the strength to pull Lauren up and soon Lauren was straddling her. Bo pushed three fingers into Lauren, and Lauren cried out against Bo's mouth and Bo moved quickly to bring Lauren to the edge where she was teetering. When Lauren was close, Bo grabbed Lauren's hand and pulled it to her own clit. Within in seconds of stroking one another, both Bo and Lauren toppled over the edge again in an explosive orgasm.
They were panting, trying to come back down, when Bo kissed Lauren again. "Holy shit, I love you."
Lauren kissed Bo deeply again. "I love you, too."
