"Freeze! Aife screamed. Her Succubus voice shook the entire castle.
"Mom? Really? How can we practice anything if we aren't moving? Bo groaned. The look in Lauren's eyes peaked Bo's curiosity.
"Not you Isabeau. I will allow the Doctor to have her fun with you. I was talking to the cowards that ran out of here". Aife said walking towards the door.
"Oh". Bo said watching her.
"As you were". Aife laughed reaching the door and walking out.
Courtyard.
"How dare you little bitches run. I never dismissed you! Aife said as all fleeing Succubi stopped in their tracks.
"But my Queen...". Dina started.
"I believe I was talking! Aife snapped. Her eyes momentarily flashing blue.
The women didn't know what to do other than what they were doing, standing stiff as statues. They had never heard Aife use that voice before. None of them had the ability to make their voices sound like that either.
"Alfred! Bring me my gloves! Aife screamed over her shoulder and pointed to a spot for the women to walk to.
The women scurried over and bowed their heads. The Queen was likely about to shame all of them. Uninvite them to her party. Something embarrassing.
"Hester! Come and face me standing on this line and the rest of you, line up beside her! Aife ordered and waited for them all to line up facing her.
Aife walked past every single one of them before she turned around and walked back until she was standing in front of Dina.
"Lift your heads and do not make me tell you again! Aife screamed. In only a matter of minutes they all pissed her off. As if they had forgotten who the Queen was.
The women stood at attention. The only sounds that could be heard were birds, car horns and their breathing.
"As I said, I never dismissed any of you. But that is not the only thing that pissed me off. I specifically gave all of you orders and rules, one of them was grossly disobeyed. You bitches are not all that dumb so what I'm talking about should not be lost on any of you". Aife said walking past the ladies, stopping halfway before she turned around and walked back.
The women inhaled deeply. The sun was shining brightly and the sweat was starting to pour. Some of them wondered if it was nerves or warmth from the sun that was making them pant.
"Hester and Dina are the reasons you ladies are out here. Them and your ignorance thinking I would allow you all to run when Dr. Lewis asked for volunteers. So I will ask for volunteers on who wants to go first? Aife asked staring down the line.
The women looked at each other before turning back around to stare into nothing.
"My Queen, your gloves". Alfred said running up to the Succubus.
"I am only going to ask this one more time before I pick for myself, who wants to volunteer? Aife asked putting her gloves on. They were big bulky things.
Dina stepped forward. "I volunteer".
"Too bad I wanted Hester to volunteer". Aife said punching the Succubus dead in her mouth. She hit her so bad that she fell on her ass.
When the other Succubus breathed in relief, Dina followed Hester. Aife walked down the line punching them all in the mouths until they were all on the ground and groaning.
"Get up you big babies and stand where you were! Aife screamed and waited.
The women stood exactly as they were. When they were all lined up and standing up straight, Aife started again.
"Now I could have killed all of you just now. Since you were cowards and ran, after tonight's party for Dr. Lewis, you will be confined to your homes until I release you to get out and about again. If my guards hear of any of you stepping out of your doors, you will be confined for an entire month. Now since you need to go out and feed, you better get your fill in at the party. Isabeau, Dr. Lewis and Albert will be my honored guests. Try and feed off of any of them and it will be my pleasure to drain your ass".
You are not to invite anyone over, the only way you will feed is if some Fae comes to see you. But they must come on their own, if you call them, I will know. Remember I have control over all of your cell phones, any calls after tonight's party will result in your service being disconnected. Do not piss me off again, or my dungeon walls will be the last thng you ever see again". Aife said.
The women groaned and were immediately silenced.
"Who gives a fuck about your feelings. You disobeyed me and these are the consequences. Now you little bitches are dismissed. Go clean your asses and I will see you at tonight's party. Do not be late! Aife said.
Hale
Hale groaned. Kenzi had been on his ass about Bo as much as the Elders were on him about the Succubus being in Toronto and allowed to leave again without facing Fae justice for bombing the Light Fae Compound.
Hale liked Bo. Maybe even loved her as a friend but Aife was someone he never wanted to know. She didn't even know the Ash or care about who he was meeting with and bombed him without a single ounce or remorse. Or at least that is what Trick lead him to believe.
He wished Trick was still alive, so he could be the Ash. Hale got almost little to no sleep. They all wanted answers he didn't have. When was Bo coming back? When was Aife coming back? Would he get close enough to arrest her this time? Aife was literally a walking time bomb. With Trick gone, she had nothing holding her back from pouncing all over the Fae when and if she wanted to.
Then there was Kenzi. The girl would not sit still when she wasn't passed out somewhere. She was running his guards ragged. She wanted new everything. Clothes, heels, and liquor. When Bo asked him to take care of her, he didn't think she meant, let her eat and drink the Light Fae out of house and home. They did have humans to feed. The Elders didn't like her being at the compound, even if she was claimed. She was claimed by the unaligned Succubus. They wanted him to do something about Lauren too when she returned. They knew the Doctor was coming back.
They didn't care if she was a new Fae. It was her old Fae business, that they cared about. She had left her post when she entered Bo's Dawning. They didn't care how it happened since Bo was unaligned and untouchable. But Lauren they could touch since she was once theirs and hadn't officially been released from her contract.
Lauren and Bo
Bo bit her lips. Lauren had been quietly circling her and it was turning her on a bit. The Doctor's eyes would change colors every time her eyes met Bo's. She hadn't instructed Bo to do anything as of yet. Only to stand where she was.
Lauren walked around and around. She was pretty much caught up on what she could do. So far all she learned was that all she needed to do was command something with her staff and it would appear or be done.
She didn't want to hurt Bo physically but she had no idea what she wanted to test first. Albert had excused himself. He didn't want Lauren to be nervous. She hoped sooner or later they would get a chance to sit down and bond. But Aife was right to bring her there. Lauren needed to be around Succubi. See how they lived. How they acted. Pretty much everything she had yet to see with Bo. Bo is not your ordinary Succubus. But then again, neither is Lauren.
"Water". Lauren said pointing her staff at an empty table and watched as two bottles appeared out of nowhere. Licking her lips, she walked over and grabbed them. Tossing one to Bo, she downed hers.
Once the bottle was empty Lauren tossed it away and threw a piece of cloth up into the air and pointed her staff at it. Once it caught fire she said water again and it put the fire out long before it ever reached the ground.
"Lauren are we going to practice or not? Bo asked softly.
"I am practicing". Lauren said as she started to circle Bo again.
"But I'm not exactly doing anything". Bo said.
"You want something to do? Lauren asked.
"Well yes. That's what I'm here for". Bo responded.
"Cover yourself". Lauren said.
"What? Bo asked looking up and around to see what Lauren was talking about.
Lauren smirked and pointed her staff at Bo's back and chuckled when the Succubus covered herself.
"Ok Lauren this is not funny. Bring my clothes back". Bo said immediately blushing.
"Interesting". Lauren said rubbing her chin.
"What me naked? You've see that before". Bo said. She was relieved when her clothes reappeared on her body.
"I didn't have to command it that time. All I had to do was think about it and point my staff at you. That should come in handy". Lauren said.
"You ready? Lauren asked when Bo still looked flushed.
"Yes". Bo smiled.
"Sword". Lauren said pointing her staff at Bo's hands.
"That is Excalibur". Lauren smiled.
"The Excalibur? Asked a shocked Bo. The thing was heavy and she already felt it's powers.
"Shall we begin? Lauren asked circling her arms in preparation.
"Ok". Bo said standing on her ready.
"Go! Lauren said as she lunged towards Bo. It was futile. Once her staff touched the sword it melted.
"Shit! Bo said staring at the melted material.
"Put it down". Lauren said.
Bo looked at Lauren and then back to the goo in her hand. Bending over , she put the sword down like Lauren had asked of her.
"Excalibur! Lauren said pointing her staff towards the sword and smiled when it was once again whole.
"Lauren how did you do that? Bo asked. This woman had her literally breathless in awe.
"Return! Lauren commanded.
Bo jumped back when the sword had disappeared. "Where did it go?
"Back from where it came". Lauren said.
Bo shook her head. Nobody would believe this if she told them.
"Little girl". Lauren said and within minutes she had a small brunette in front of her.
"Who are you? Bo asked in a childlike voice.
"I'm Lauren and you're adorable. Return to Bo as the same age". Lauren said.
Bo shook her body when she was an adult again.
"How do you feel? Lauren asked. She wanted to make sure she didn't hurt Bo's Succubus.
"I'm fine and can you not do that again? Bo shuddered.
"It appears my staff is more of a magic wand. Do me a favor? Lauren asked.
"As long as I'm not naked or a child again, sure". Bo laughed.
"Take my staff and try to command it". Lauren said tossing it in Bo's direction. The Succubus screamed when it burnt her hand and watched as it stood stiff on it's own when she released it.
"So we now know for sure that only you can command it". Bo chuckled as she looked at her hand. It tickled more than it burned.
Lauren walked over to check Bo's hand and saw no wound. "You ready?
"Let's go Doctor". Bo winked.
The women circled each other this time. Lauren had a serious look as Bo's was more curious than anything.
Lauren backed away giving them a bigger distance between each other. Bo took a deep breath.
Lauren was tired of waiting and ran to Bo. Bo caught her hands and noticed that they felt as hot as Lauren's staff had felt. She tried to push her off but Lauren was too strong and pushed Bo off for a second.
"You said you were ready". Lauren laughed.
"I will be this time. Let's go again". Bo laughed in response.
Lauren lunged at Bo and the Succubus still couldn't push her off of her. When that was settled Lauren stepped back. Looking down at Bo's waist she noticed Bo had her blade.
"Lauren? Bo asked when the Doctor went pale.
"You need to fight me Bo". Lauren said.
"What? No Lauren! I would never do that or want to do that! Bo said shaking her head no.
"Bo. The Fae won't care! They won't. Once it gets out that I am Fae too, they won't hesitate trying to get to me. It has to be you. You're the most powerful Fae that I know. If you hold back, they won't". Lauren said seriously. Playtime was long over.
Bo shook her head no again but knew Lauren was right. The Fae wouldn't hesitate coming for Lauren. She can't be around to hold her hand or watch her all of the time. It would make Lauren look and feel weak and that was the last thing Bo wanted.
"Ok". Bo said.
"Take your blade out and we'll get started". Lauren said.
Bo shook her head in protest but did as she was told to do.
"Let's go". Bo said.
Lauren lunged at Bo blocking her fist with her hand. She heard Bo groan and felt bad about it but she needed this. She allowed Bo to push her off and lunged at her again. They both groaned this time when their feet got tangled up. Holding each other up, they swung at each other. Lauren made more contact than Bo did and drew blood. Pushing off she waited for Bo to steady herself. Once Bo nodded that she was ok she lunged for the Succubus again. For the next few minutes, they punched and kicked each other. One time Bo thought she had wounded Lauren when she bent over but the Doctor stood back up holding a blade of her own. When she lunged at Bo again their blades touched and Bo's melted.
To make it a fair fight Lauren dropped hers and readied for the next round. She kicked Bo so fiercely that she wound up on the ground near Lauren's blade. Reaching over she tried to trip Lauren but the Doctor jumped out of her reach. She stood up and was down again in minutes with Lauren on top of her. She punched Bo in the stomach and Bo pushed her off.
Now both women were on their feet again. Sweat was pouring off of both of them.
Bo lunged at Lauren this time landing a punch to her face. Lauren's nose was bleeding but she shook it off long enough to headbutt Bo. Bo stumbled back and came at the Doctor again. Bo raised her leg up to kick Lauren but she blocked it and nearly broke it at the knee.
She stood back not even bothering to help Bo up. She had to keep her emotions out of the fight. Easier said than done being a Doctor. But this was Bo. She could take it and then some.
Bo screamed and lunged at Lauren again holding Lauren's blade to the point if Lauren hadn't blocked her hand it would have cut her in the eyes. Lauren balled up her fists and fired punch after punch at Bo, knocking her backwards. The Succubus face was bloodied but she was smiling. Lauren was doing better than she had expected her to do.
Bo reached over her back and pulled out another blade. Lauren smiled as their eyes met.
"Come on". Lauren seethed.
Bo ran to the Doctor swinging her blades as Lauren threw punch after punch blocking them while cutting her hands in the process. Bo screamed at the sight but kept coming. Lauren punched Bo hard in her stomach and when she winced Lauren was able to grab a blade from her. Taking Bo's free hand, Lauren twisted her arm behind her back. Bo raised her leg and kicked upwards in between Laurens. But the Doctor jumped back.
Bo ran towards Lauren again but the Doctor met her jaw with a swift kick. Once she saw she drew blood, she dropped her blade and watched as Bo held her jaw.
Smiling Lauren walked over and kissed Bo. She didn't use her tongue but knew the contact would wake her Succubus as well as Bo's. Once both ladies eyes were flashing blue the chi flowed between them. Both moaned at their respective tastes. Lauren watched as Bo's lips and face were healing. Bo looked over Lauren's face and saw she was healing as well. To try something Lauren removed her hands from Bo's head and dropped them down by her side. Lifting her hands more chi flowed between them. She felt all of her wounds heal and once Bo stopped. So did she.
"Lauren". Bo whispered.
"I know I owe you a new blade". Lauren said and both women laughed when five blades appeared out of nowhere.
"Very nice Dr. Lewis". Bo smiled taking a few.
"We need to go and get ready for this party. Aife doesn't seem like the type that will be happy when her guests of honor are late". Lauren said.
"But Lauren we need...". Bo said.
"We will. Later, Bo". Lauren said grabbing her staff and smiled when it lit up. It seemed to be giving her energy that she didn't need at the moment but appreciated it.
Aife
"Is everything ready? Aife asked.
"Yes My Queen. The party is all set". Alfred said.
"Good now go and make sure my guests don't need anything while I get ready". Aife ordered.
The party was going to be held in a large sprawling room that led out into the courtyard. The night sky would clash nicely with all the lights that lined up the yard.
Aife had invited everyone she despised and those she liked. She didn't care either way because this was about Lauren. She needed to be introduced to the Succubus flooding the area. She even called in some from out of town and passionately requested that they attend. None of them said no.
Two hours later and everyone was showered and dressed. Lauren stood in her mirror looking at her dress. A strapless red number with matching earrings and heels. Her hair was down and framed her face. Once she was happy about how she looked she turned and walked towards the door. Once she tapped it a guard pulled it open. Lauren was breathless when she saw Bo standing in front her. Bo was in a black strapless dress with matching earrings and heels. Bo rarely wore heels like this so Lauren was floored at how beautiful she looked. Her hair was also down and framing her face.
"Shall we? Bo asked gently pointing her hand towards the stairs.
"We shall". Lauren smiled as she walked in front of Bo. She was shocked at how amazing Bo looked. To look at her, nobody would ever think she was fighting Lauren earlier. The Doctor in her was still amazed at how quickly they could heal. She smiled when she thought about how Bo was do doubt ogling her from behind.
Bo thought Lauren looked absolutely beautiful. Being a witch only brightened her golden locks. She had a glow that could not be described with words. She knew the Doctor was walking slowly for her benefit. That or she didn't want to trip and fall on her face. Bo laughed internally. This was going to be a great night. She knew Lauren would not make her wait another day to talk. She was hopeful that Lauren hadn't said that they were over and hoped they wouldn't be after their talk. That was another reason she left Kenzi behind. She loved the woman but knew Kenzi didn't care much for Lauren. She didn't need her in her ears saying if Lauren was putting off their talk, than maybe she didn't care as much as Bo thought she did.
Bo knew better and didn't need to read Lauren's aura to know. The taste of her chi had love all in it. It was warm, nurturing and healing. And this was Bo's relationship. Even if Dyson was still alive, she would tell him that too. Nobody had a say in it but her and Lauren. Snapping out of her thoughts Bo nearly fell after reaching the stairs. Lauren was halfway down them and Bo hadn't taken a single step yet.
Bo watched as Lauren reached the bottom. She turned her head and waited for Bo to reach her. Aife had insisted that they not enter the party without her and from the sounds coming from down the hall, the party sounded packed.
"Lauren you look absolutely beautiful. Just wow". Bo beamed looking the Doctor up and down.
"Thank you Bo. So you do you! Lauren smiled.
Bo bit her lip and smirked. "Mom should be along shortly".
"Ladies you look fabulous! Aife smiled walking up to them.
"Thanks mom". Bo smiled.
"Yes thank you Queen Aife". Lauren smiled.
"Stop it Dr. Lewis. You can call me Aife". Aife laughed.
"Ohhhh k". Lauren said nervously.
"Don't worry sweetie. Nothing will go wrong and if it does, I will kill the responsible party". Aife laughed.
"My Queen. We're ready". Alfred said bowing before all of them.
"Excellent. Lets go ladies". Aife said nodding towards Bo and Lauren.
They walked down a short hall before Aife put her on robe and crown. Clearing her throat she nodded for Alfred to give the go ahead. Two big guards opened the doors and Alfred walked in first.
"You look beautiful ladies". Albert said joining the trio.
"Thank you". Aife, Bo and Lauren said in unison.
"Announcing Queen Aife, Princess Isabeau and her honored guests. Dr. Lauren Lewis and special friend to the Queen, Albert". Alfred said and watched as the crowd quieted down and stood at attention.
"Dr. Lewis is a new Succubus and you will treat her and my daughter Isabeau with the same respect that you treat me with. Most of you were here earlier so I need not repeat what I said about feeding. They are all my special guests. You are to answer any questions that they have and you are never to touch them. Is that understood? Aife asked.
"Yes my Queen". The crowd roared in unison.
"Then behave but enjoy yourselves". Aife clapped.
"These are the same women that ran from you earlier". Bo laughed.
"Yes some of them still look scarred". Lauren said looking around the crowd.
"Did you say scarred or scared? Bo laughed again.
"Bo...". Lauren laughed.
"Lets go enjoy ourselves. The food looks delicious". Bo said looking at tables and tables of food and desserts. Waiters had trays and trays of wine and Champagne.
The women looked at Bo and Lauren and they weren't happy looks but they weren't angry looks either. Knowing there was nothing but Succubus after Succubus in attendance, they didn't want Aife reading their auras and punching them again, or worse.
One by one at Aife's orders they all introduced themselves and bowed towards Bo and Lauren. Bo still thought they were all a bit snooty but didn't let that affect her mood. This was Lauren's night, not hers and for the next two hours, they ate, drank and talked to everyone. Lauren's eyes were wide with curiosity as each Succubus gave her tips and their phone numbers in case she ever had any questions.
None of them were as old as Aife and she wanted Lauren and Bo to be able to bond with the younger generations.
"How...? Lauren started.
"A couple of decades more than Bo". Albert answered.
"MMmmm an older woman. That's hot". Bo whispered in Lauren's ears.
"Stop it Bo". Lauren blushed. Clearing her throat she made her rounds again. Bo stood back allowing Lauren personal time to mingle. But that didn't stop her from wanting to punch every Succubus that laid eyes on Lauren. Their auras were almost blinding bright.
Albert and Aife looked deep in conversation so Bo had nothing to do other than grab some snacks from one of the tables. Taking a small plate she walked up towards a small eating area. It was high enough that she could keep an eye on Lauren.
"Whatever it is that you want, save it". Bo hissed.
"Now, now baby Succubus don't write a check your ass can't cash". Hester laughed.
"Hester, Queen Aife will kick your ass". Dina warned.
"Or I will". Bo snapped.
"What? I was just saying hello to our Princess. You are one lucky woman to have her on your arms". Hester said pointing to Lauren who was laughing and talking to someone.
"Do we have a problem here? Aife bristled from behind.
"Not at all my Queen. I was just saying hello". Hester bowed.
"Good now scram. We have plenty of other guests, booze and food to occupy you". Aife said.
Aife looked at Bo. The Succubus seemed to be pouting. Clapping her hands, music started to play.
"You better get a dance before she dances with someone else". Aife winked making her way down the small staircase. Bo nearly tripped her own mother running down after her.
Lauren was still talking to someone when Bo walked up. "Excuse me. Lauren would you like to dance?
Lauren smiled and nodded. Bo gently took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Bo turned and pulled Lauren close. Their hands rested on each other's waste and their heads touched just slightly. They allowed their bodies to do all of the talking.
Bo inhaled Lauren's scent and fought back against kissing her all over her neck. She could smell Lauren. Her shampoo. Her perfume. Her taste. Closing her eyes, she tried to simmer her Succubus down.
This was the absolute best for Bo. Lauren's body warmth was calming the chills she was getting from wanting to devour her right then and there. She heard Lauren sigh and it was comforting that she hadn't pulled away yet.
"Ladies". Aife said.
Bo shook her head telling Aife not now.
"Ok stand here and dance to nothing". Aife laughed.
"What? Lauren asked.
"The music stopped an hour ago. Most of my guests have gone home or outside to the courtyard". Aife laughed.
"Ohhhh! Lauren and Bo both blushed in embarrassment.
"No really you can stay here if you want. Albert retired to his room twenty minutes ago and I am about to retire to mine". Aife said.
"Want to get some air? Lauren asked turning to Bo.
"Sure". Bo smiled. Knowing this was Lauren's way of telling her it was time to talk.
"Enjoy the night air. My peeps will clean all of this up". Aife said pointing around the room.
Bo and Lauren walked slowly towards the doors. Both took deep breaths before the guards opened them for them.
They walked out into the night. It was beautiful out. They didn't see anyone out there and were both thankful for that. They saw guards walking in front of them, placing soft blankets over the benches in case they wanted to sit down.
Lauren walked ahead of Bo and took a seat. Bo smiled sitting down next to her. Looking up and back at the castle Bo took another deep breath.
"Lauren... Lauren I'm so sorry about everything. I had no idea that they would take you to punish me for bringing Dyson back. I thought whatever they were going to do, they would do to me. As soon as I noticed that you were gone I was devastated. When Stella told me what happened, I felt angry. Angry because I had lost you and didn't know how I was going to get you back. Those damn things are apparently one per Fae. The one thing I have learned is to never do that again. To never gamble with the Fae not knowing what they would do. If it hadn't been for Mom, Trick, and Stella, I might not have known how to go in and get you back. The hardest part was asking mom to help. I think she's still deservedly mad that I never trusted that she wanted the best for me. But I want you to know that I'm really committed to this relationship. No case or nothing will ever come between us again. Not even Kenzi, which is why I left her behind at home". Bo said.
Lauren sighed and it made Bo nervous. Lauren's aura was all over the place so she couldn't get a good read on her emotions.
"Bo we have so much more than your Dawning to talk about. I had been wanting to talk to you days before that. But you, we never seemed to find the time. Either you were out on a case or I was in my lab trying to find a way to keep you from devolving. You never told me Dyson had his love back but that's not even an issue anymore. It's the fact that there were important things that I needed to know, that you didn't know yourself or didn't bother to tell me. I am committed to this too, but it we can't trust each other, then we have nothing. Not even friendship". Lauren said looking out into nothing.
Lauren stood up and stepped out into the circle. The courtyard really was beautiful. She took a glass of wine that a guard had left for them on one of the tables.
"You can trust me Lauren. I know I haven't always been there for you. For us. And to be honest I wasn't sure that Dyson had his love back, not until he told me in my Dawning and then he kissed me. Turns out that he thought he was going to be locked away in there. I didn't return those feelings Lauren. I didn't even return the kiss and it was over when we were interrupted by a freak in there. I don't think he was ever going to tell me and even when he did, it didn't matter because I was still in love with you and I still am. I tried to get the truth from Kenzi but I think I lost her trust too when I didn't notice that she had been missing until Inari ate those peanuts". Bo said.
"Peanuts". Lauren said softly.
"Yeah Kenzi is deathly allergic to them, so when she ate them I figured out that she wasn't Kenzi". Bo said.
"That's all you needed to tell us, tell me, Bo. I'm a Doctor I would have understood. I thought something was so wrong with you that I thought I was reliving Nadia and the Garuda all over again. Had I known about the peanuts, I would have convinced Trick to let you out. Then telling me you would never forgive me, wouldn't have been necessary". Lauren sighed.
"Lauren I'm sorry I said that. I just thought you of all people would trust me when I said that wasn't Kenzi. When you didn't I got even more upset because I didn't think I would get out of there in time and took my anger out on you. I can't even blame my Succubus for that because I don't think she even likes Kenzi". Bo said.
"You made me feel low Bo. Trick was already snapping at me saying that I didn't understand what I was doing. Like I was a new Doctor". Lauren snapped and walked back over to put her glass down.
"Lauren if I could take back and undo all of that I would, but I can only say that I'm so sorry and that I love you. I can promise you that you won't have to share me with anyone or my job again because I am thinking of taking up a new line of work and I feel so much stronger since my Dawning". Bo said.
"Bo...". Lauren sighed.
"Please Lauren. Just give me one chance to prove to you that I can do better. Be better". Bo said stepping closer to Lauren.
Lauren raised her head taking in the stars. She was still in love with Bo and was honestly days away from asking for a break. Bo did seem more attentive now and Aife had told her how she was going out of her mind with worry when Lauren was out on her trips.
"Ok Bo. We can try again but I want to go slow this time and not rush back into our old routines. But if I feel like it's not going to work, I will tell you". Lauren said.
Bo smiled. "Ok. We can go as slow as you, we need to go".
"Ok". Lauren said.
Bo and Lauren walked back into the castle. Bo gathered what she would need from her room for the night and joined Lauren in hers. Keeping her word she waited for Lauren to shower and get ready for bed. Once the Doctor was done, she took her turn.
When they were settled in the bed, Lauren took Bo's hand. "Good night Bo".
"Good night Lauren". Bo said softly. She wanted to do more than hold hands but this was slow and slow Lauren would get.
TBC
Hale reaches his boiling point with Kenzi.
Bo and Lauren decide their next move.
Aife makes plans to return to Toronto.
