General Lee's Revenge--The Ballad of Bo Duke

Chapter Sixteen: Little Lion Man

(A/N: Everything is long abt this chapter. Long chapter, long author's note, long di-

I'm sorry. But in all seriousness, I would like to dedicate this chapter to my friends Hellcat and Addison. Jackie is a product of me and Hellcat's brainstorming and she is basically their cameo in GLR. Addison has her own cameo btw. 

Just an extra trigger warning for this chapter there are discussions about like sexuality and also some scenes that might be upsetting there's also some pretty mild sexual content (Bo lovers rejoice). Before this gets long though I'll just say thank you for reading this series that I have been working on since 7th grade and that you can finally go home. HOORAY! 

Just kidding... keep an eye out on AO3 for some of my shit cause I'm gonna start posting there now and now for MULTIPLE FANDOMS. So enjoy this long, fuckass chapter that I have given you. Love y'all /p)

She was beautiful. And he loved the way she looked at him with need in her eyes. Not to mention the dangerousness of her smile. The kind that would get her anything in the world she wanted. And, recently, that turned out to be him. She had his attention and he was happy to give it to her. Despite his cousin's warnings. And despite his fear.

He was eager to get back in the game. Ready to show the world that he was back and better than ever. Or, really, that he hadn't changed. The events of the last year had left him quite preoccupied apart from his bouts of regular life. He couldn't even remember the last time he'd spent an entire evening at the Boar's Nest or down at the creek. But he'd been seeing Lorie for a week. She was eager and adventurous and unbelievably sexy. He couldn't quite recall why he'd been so hesitant at first as the two of them got comfortable on the ground.

Crickets sang into the cool night as they lay side by side. Her lips were soft and warm and there was nothing sweeter. Especially when she would giggle and nibble on his lower lip, hands on either side of his head to keep him from turning away. He kept his arms wrapped around her waist. And it was bliss.

But something inside him refused to let him relax. His heart pounded in his ears but not in a good way. Her hands were in his hair now and she was rolling them over so he was on his back. He felt his heart rate spike, pulling away from her kisses so he could breathe, trying desperately to get his heart to slow. His hands had moved to her hips, however, that's where they stayed. They didn't wander, just stayed right there holding her hips. Her hands, however, were occupied unbuttoning his shirt, invading the heated skin underneath. Her lips were back on his soon enough, tongue invading his mouth. He lifted his head to push back against her, wanting more.

Her fingers traced his scars. Seeming to find every one with pristine accuracy. They weren't typically the things that he enjoyed sharing. But there was no point in trying to hide them either. And there were, of course, some things that hadn't fully healed yet. And he'd been advised to be careful. But he was sure that this was something he could handle.

However, his heart was still pounding, and her hands were still on him, and her tongue was still in his mouth. He could feel her teeth against his lips, fingers dragging across his skin. Hers. His. Wolfish teeth. Big fingers. Heart pounding. The smell of cigarettes.

His hands finally moved. Grabbing her hard and throwing her off him. From far off there was a yelp of pain as he sat up, looking down at his shaking hands. Except it wasn't just his hands, it was all of him, his whole body. He was trembling.

A few feet away, Lorie was crying and struggling to her feet. "What the fuck?" she yelled.

Bo had no words. She smoothed out her dress and wiped her eyes, limping away. "Lorie, wait!" he called after her.
