Chapter Text
"Come on Bo Bo, you've been moping around for weeks. Let's go to the Dal and you can get back on that succubus horse, giddy-up.”
Kenzi looked at her BFF with worried eyes when no reply came. It had been three weeks since Lauren had ripped out her friend’s heart and she was not sure what to do to get the depressed succubus out of her funk. The breakup with Dyson didn't affect Bo half as much as the Lauren thing had. “Curse you, Dr. Hot Pants,” the little goth girl thought to herself looking at her forlorn best friend.
"Bo you need to get up, when was the last time you fed?" Kenzi enquired with a slight raise of an eyebrow.
"Kenzi I’m fine. I just wanna stay home ‘kay." Bo finally replied without looking up from her hunched position on the well-loved couch.
"Okay, if you’re not gonna do it for yourself, do it for me. I really need some shots and the Dal is having another fae holiday so it's gonna be pumpin’ with sexual energy for you to get your freak on. Come on, please." With this plea the beautiful fae looked up at her crazy but lovable friend. Kenzi put on her best Oliver Twist pleading face and said, "pretty please". After several drawn out minutes, Bo finally relented, smiled for her adorable sidekick and nodded her head. "Okay Kenz, I’ll just go get changed, but I’m only doing this for you," and with that she slouched up the stairs to get ready.
Moments later Bo re-emerged looking smoking hot in her usual leather ensemble. Now all she needed was the twinkle back in her eyes and she would be Bo Bo again. "Lets go, succubitch." Linking arms they set off for Trick's bar where the free drinks for life lived.
The two women arrived at the Dal and it was indeed packed with fae of all shapes and sizes. The succubus felt that stirring deep inside her centre telling her that it had indeed been a long time since she had fed. Bo realised in that moment she had effectively been starving herself. Maybe all she needed was a good meal to wipe away the horrible feelings that plagued her constantly. As she surveyed the variety of meals offered, her pint sized friend had already pushed her way towards the bar to the drinks being lined up by a smiling Trick. Bo smiled, "what would I do without her," she thought as she made her way to the bar and the great many shots waiting for her consumption. Bo realised she already felt a little better.
"Maybe this night won't be so bad. Thanks Kenz I don't know what I would do without you," Bo remarked as she sat on the stool next to her purple wig wearing friend.
"You would probably be like a little old lady with 60 cats that never leaves the house," Kenzi replied as she gave the succubus a playful punch on the arm.
"God, I haven't been that bad have I?"
"No comment that's all I can say. Okay so do you see anything that you like Bo Bo? Let's get you back on the succubus trail. We’ll get you a happy meal, emphasis on the happy." With that she turned on her stool to survey the smorgasbord spread out before her friend.
"Maybe I'll just go dance and see if anyone tickles my fancy." After downing another shot the exotic beauty slips off her stool into the throng of swaying and gyrating fae in front of her. Bo didn't see it as much as felt it when she was bumped by someone on their way to the exit. It wasn't just that she was body checked into a group of other dancers; there was a sensation like a jolt of electricity that shot up her arm and was distributed throughout her body. It was like a switch was tripped inside her as the hunger she tried so hard to keep in check roiled to the surface. A primal need to hunt came over her. The succubus felt an aggression that she had never experienced before. As Bo immersed herself with the other dancers and began to sway, she felt as the people dancing around her moved closer as if they were moths to a flame.
As the night progressed the sultry succubus found herself dancing with two incredibly gorgeous fae women when she felt a familiar tug at her heart, a pull that turned into a clench as she turned towards the entrance of the Dal. The Blonde weaved her way towards the bar and leaned in to speak to Dyson before handing him a file. The dark primal feelings rose up again and all other thoughts and feelings were pushed aside. Bo eyed the blonde doctor like she was a mouse drawn to a snake. The brunette was startled for a moment; her hunger had never felt like this before: cold, calculating, like a predator on the hunt. Seconds later the confusion and worry slipped from the succubus' mind, replaced by three simple impulses.
WANT, TAKE, HAVE.
Lauren, obviously finished with whatever business she had, was slowly making her way towards the exit.
WANT.
Bo stopped dancing giving the two dancing fae a quick but intimate kiss each before slipping away, striding purposefully towards the door stalking her new prey. Bo didn't even look back to see the noticeable disappointment written across the forgotten women’s faces.
Emerging on the street Bo spied the blonde walking under streetlights about a block away, heading back towards the Ash's compound and her living quarters. The succubus physically licked her lips in anticipation as she slowly made her move, following the retreating figure. The hunt was on. "Run, little mouse run," she said quietly to herself with an uncharacteristic chuckle.
Sticking to the shadows the predator stalked her prey. If Lauren sensed her in any way it didn't show. The doctor strode with long sure strides nearing the turn off towards her place of residence. There were fleeting seconds here and there when Bo questioned what she was doing, knowing that it didn't feel right. The thoughts however were quickly replaced with the primitive hunger as she continued to follow her succulent prize.
Bo smiled in anticipation; silently slinking her way towards the front door as Lauren fished out her keys. The leather clad women moved up right behind the blonde revelling in the familiar, intoxicating smell and aura of the beautiful doctor. “Mm tasty,” Bo thought to herself.
"Boo," the succubus whispered in the statuesque blonde’s ear before lightly licking and sucking on the doctor’s earlobe. Giving a yelp and spinning around Lauren pitched across the threshold into the foyer before falling backwards onto her ass.
The expressions of both women were in complete contrast. While Lauren wore a startled expression, Bo was looking at the doctor like she was a juicy steak waiting to be devoured. The thrill of the hunt was intoxicating to Bo; she had never felt so powerful and in control before.
Lauren, realising who was standing before her, visibly relaxed for a moment before she noticed the look in her ex-lover’s eyes. The blonde was shocked by her body's response to the look.
"Get away,” it said. “RUN,” it screamed.
"Bo, my God you scared me," Lauren said keeping her eyes fixed on the face of the woman looming above her. The look that crossed the brunette's face was one of triumph and pleasure. It fuelled the fear that was already rolling inside the blonde’s body.
TAKE
Bo stood above the trembling woman, her dark eyes devouring every inch of the blonde. “So beautiful,” she thought to herself as a wave of desire for the women below her awoke to join the hunger.
"Gee sorry Lauren, I didn't mean to scare you," the comment oozed with insincerity.
"Bo are you feeling ok?" Lauren questioned, the doctor in her coming out as she stared at the stranger in front of her. "You are not acting like yourself."
The succubus snorted at this, “yeah I’m fine. Just ...... peachy. I'm gonna try this new thing where I give in to the hunger and not give a crap about the fucking consequences.” Lauren physically flinches at the words, a new panic washing over her.
Bo, thinking that she may as well play with her food before she eats it, kneels down between Lauren’s legs watching as the blonde's desire flares before her, despite the fear she is exhibiting. The succubus leaned forward placing her hands on either side of the woman’s head, bending down till their lips were almost touching. Bo darts her tongue out giving Lauren’s slightly parted lips a quick flick. The response is instantaneous and the succubus can't help a slight chuckle from escaping her lips as she watches the blinding light of desire flash before her. It only lasts a moment, to her amusement and surprise, before the arrogant chuckle seems to jolt the doctor from her lust and desire, both quickly replaced by anger.
"What the hell are you playing at Bo? Are you trying to get back at me? Is that what this is? I've already apologised like a hundred times. What more do you want me to do? You are the one who has been avoiding me like the plague. I was trying to protect you because I care about you."
Bo straddles Lauren’s hips getting comfortable and basking in the desire and anger radiating from the creature beneath her. "I don't need protecting Lauren, certainly not from you. I needed something else from you and I thought that’s what you were giving me, but alas you were just being a good little pet and following the commands of your master." The succubus' words dripped with contempt. "Do you have any idea how deep my feelings for you run, Lauren, huh? I honestly thought we had a future or at the very least something more than a good fuck." Bo feels the hunger push itself to the forefront again, she feels her eyes begin to glow the supernatural sapphire blue. The succubus refocuses on the women beneath her grinding her hips against the blonde’s until she begins to squirm and whimper. This brings a smile to her lips as she runs her hand along the blondes jaw, neck and then collarbone towards her heaving breasts, casting bursts of power through her hands and into Lauren's flesh.
Bo can see the woman fighting the feelings of desire the succubus is forcing into her. "Why are you fighting it?" she asks genuinely not comprehending the doctor’s resistance.
"Because this isn't you Bo, I don't know what’s going on but something isn't right." Lauren’s eyes filled with love and concern seem to penetrate Bo's very soul, making her hesitate. Coming out of the haze of her hunger for a moment, Bo stares down at the quivering blonde beneath her confused and disorientated.
"Lauren? What am I doing here? I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking. I'm really, really hungry and you, um, you are familiar or something and my body obviously just reacted. I can't be here. I can't deal with this ...us. I just can't. I um... I gotta go." And with that Bo quickly disentangles herself from the now confounded woman beneath her and runs into the night. Soon her body starts screaming at her "TAKE, TAKE, TAKE."
Lauren
Lauren watches the retreating figure disappear into the darkness unable to think for a moment as the remnants of Bo's touch continue to roll across her skin. Bo had never truly frightened the doctor before and she needed several minutes in order to collect herself before finally getting up off the floor. The blonde walked straight towards the front door, closing it and sliding the dead bolt home. This simple action helps to calm her further till she can finally begin to figure out what has just taken place.
Pouring herself a glass of wine, the still slightly shaken doctor sits in the dark staring out the window wondering where Bo could be and if she is alright. The instinct to protect Bo from herself and anyone else that may cause her harm was still strong in the blonde doctor. The fact that the succubus hadn't actually physically hurt her gave her the slightest glimmer of hope that somehow, in the future, they may actually be able to rebuild the relationship that had become so very important to her. “Was it just Bo’s anger that caused the succubus to act that way, or was it something else?” Lauren could not imagine the Bo she knows ever being so cold and harsh to anyone, even someone that had hurt her the way she had. Lauren had never seen Bo use her power to ever hurt or dominate anyone maliciously. The succubus had pulsed a lot of desire into the doctor, enough that just the thought of it made her body betray her with an overwhelming ache deep between her legs. Lauren pressed her thighs together waiting for the feeling to pass, taking several deep calming breathes.
What could she do? Call Kenzi and say what exactly? Even if Lauren knew what to say to the little goth girl, it wasn't like she would believe her. Kenzi would probably just say “Bo's angry and has every right to be. So suck it up, Dr. Freeze, and get over it.”
Lauren sighed loudly. “Maybe it would have been better if Bo had just drained me,” she said to the empty room. Everything seemed to be piling up over the last few weeks. The Ash's displeasure that Lauren had not successfully kept Bo away from Vex had been obvious and unpleasant. The doctor had worked tirelessly over the past five years earning his respect and confidence. Seeing that she had lost his favour had affected her more than expected.
Having to ask Dyson to help Bo with Vex also gnawed at the blonde. Dyson being Bo's hero again just intensified her feelings of inadequacy at the failure of protecting Bo . At least The Ash was slowly starting to treat her like he had before the incident.
But losing Bo was proving very difficult to move past. She hated herself for even getting this emotionally involved with the succubus. She knew it would get messy right from the start, but she did it anyway and look where it got her. It's my fault, all of it. The doctor had seen how much pain she had caused Bo. It had been written all over the brunette's face, so why didn't she deserve that much and more in return?
Lauren's feeling towards the succubus had grown even more, if that was even possible, the constant pain she felt tearing her up inside. The usually in control doctor had lost count of the times when she had to slip away somewhere private to be alone, to collect herself from the emotions threatening to spill over. It was affecting her work on all fronts and it was driving her crazy. Lauren sat in the dark emotionally exhausted, unable to shut down the swirling mass of feelings that would not relent.
“Karma's a bitch,” that's what Kenzi would say, Lauren thought with a small shake of her head. I'm sure Bo acted this way because she's hurt and angry, Lauren mused. It had been building up inside the succubus for three weeks before finally spilling over. Add in Bo's hunger and who can blame her for doing what she did? Best to just put it behind me and forget it ever happened, the blonde decided with an audible sigh.
Finishing the last of her wine, Lauren proceeded to put the glass in the sink and headed for the stairs, hoping that she wouldn't have too much trouble getting the sleep she so clearly needed.
Bo
After running for what felt like an eternity, the dark haired succubus slowed to a walk before stopping altogether to take in large gulps of air. Sweat was dripping off her brow as she leaned shaky hands on her knees trying frantically to catch her breath. The succubus was still hungry. It gnawed at her relentlessly urging her to keep moving, to find what she so desperately needed. Up ahead Bo spied a woman trying to flag down a cab. The succubus took in the sight of the figure in front of her with ravenous eyes. Dressed in what looked like a very expensive perfectly fitted little black dress, she was an exquisite sight to behold. Bo admired the view for a moment longer as a cab pulled up to the curb, before coming to a halt next to the beautiful redhead.
The brunette sauntered up to the women and lay a hand on her exposed shoulder, letting a large pulse of power escape from her fingers. With a sharp intake of breath a pair of sparkling green eyes turned towards the succubus.
“Hello there,” Bo purrs taking in the red head's delicate features. “Mind if we share a cab, I have been waiting here forever trying to get one.” The succubus releases another pulse into the woman, enjoying the look of pure wanton lust entering those shining eyes.
“Where do you need to go,” the woman asks between quick, shallow breaths.
“Your place would be lovely, don't you think?” Bo responds with a sultry smile playing across moist red lips.
“Oh yes that would be… God yes, let's go.”
“After you,” says the succubus sliding her hand down to the small of the women's back ushering her into the cab.
“What's your name?,” the brunette enquires, placing a hand on the woman's thigh gently infusing another dose of desire.
“Holly,” the redhead replies in a barely audible whisper.
“I'm Bo, it's a pleasure to meet you .”
“God you're beautiful. I really want to kiss you. Can I please kiss you?”
Bo smiles, tracing a power filled finger along the red head’s cheek to her chin, pulling her slowly towards her full parted lips for a sweet but chaste first kiss. Bo intensifies the kiss, taking a little sip of Holly's essence. The woman tastes like apples and sunshine, she tastes delicious. Holly groans into the succubus' mouth, tongue probing Bo's with a desperate urgency. The two women did not notice that the cab had stopped until the cab driver, trying not to openly stare, clears his throat and says, “that will be $16.89 ladies.” Holly gives a small whimper of disappointment when Bo withdraws from the kiss. The succubus pulls a $20 from her leather jacket and tosses it to the driver. “Keep the change,” she says before sliding out after the redhead and slamming the cab door.
After entering a modest looking apartment building, Holly grasps Bo's hand as they enter an elevator and begin their assent to the eleventh floor. Bo taking advantage of having the elevator to themselves, pushes the enamoured redhead into the corner before crushing her lips against the other woman's in a fierce chi sucking kiss. Bo pulls back with difficulty wanting to at least make it to the woman's apartment before taking her fill. Wouldn't want another dead kill in an elevator, Bo thinks as flashes of the distant memory glance the forefront of her mind. The memory causing the succubus to again question what is driving this insatiable hunger circulating inside her entire being. The elevator finally reaching it's destination opens it's doors allowing the women to enter another smaller hallway lined with doors on either side. Before entering the red head’s home, the succubus scans the hallway making sure no one has seen her enter the apartment.
Kenzi
Dyson is driving a very drunk Kenzi home from the Dal. “Hey Kenzi, did you see where Bo went tonight?”
“Nope, can't say I did wolf man. I didn't know I had to keep a leash on her,” Kenzi slurred in response. “She probably just found a nice fae to snack on and took ‘em home. She's big enough to look after herself, Dyson.”
Dyson gave a low growl in response trying not to think about Bo and whomever she had decided to snack on.
“Okay, Kenzi out you get, we're here.”
Kenzi looked up fondly at the debilitated building, that was home to her and the succubus. It looked dark and quiet; Bo must have gone home with someone.
With a final small wave at Dyson, Kenzi stumbled up the stairs heading for the closest soft surface to pass out on.
Bo
Bo woke up with a start unsure of where she was. The room was dark, only a few discernible shapes visible. Reaching out to what looked like a bedside lamp she fumbled in the dark looking for the switch. Light flooded the tastefully decorated modern bedroom causing the succubus to blink a few times allowing her eye's to adjust to the sudden brightness. With newly adjusted eye's Bo looked to the other person occupying the bed. It was a sight she had seen many times before, but was surprised by how little she felt as she took in the view of the dead woman lying next to her. She should care that she had taken this woman's life right?, That the monster inside her had claimed yet another victim. The succubus just stared curiously at the wide open eye's, creepy smile and spidery blue veins and felt nothing. Bo did, however, think about what she should do about the problem. Do I just leave her here, would they be able to trace the body to me? she wondered.
Making a decision she pulled out her phone and called Dyson. The light and dark clean up messes all the time, why shouldn't they clean up mine? Bo paced the small distance of the room waiting for Dyson to pick up.
“Bo, what is it, it's late?” growled the shifter on the other end of the line.
“Well, hello to you too, Dyson,” Bo retorted. Bo realised that she should be more upset about what's happened so adjusted her voice to sound a bit more distressed.
“Dyson, I really need your help, I fed off someone and … and … oh Dyson, I don't know what happened, why I couldn't stop. I woke up and … she's dead.”
There was nothing but breathing on the line for a moment, then Dyson obviously coming to a decision told her to find out where she was and text him the address.
“Hale and I will take care of it Bo, go home, I will call you later.”
Bo hung up the phone a slow smile creeping onto the succubus's face. “Well that was easier than I thought it would be,” she said to herself.
