The Wizard Of The Fae War (Lost Girl Fanfic)

Chapter 4

Bo stared out the backseat window of the large SUV, tuning out the argument Vex and Kenzi were having about some band Kenzi loved and Vex abhorred. Bo said nothing, her eyes watching the dark city streets as they passed through town, but her thoughts were of the woman sitting silently beside her.

Lauren hadn't said a word since their lengthy interrogation session had ended. Maybe she's all talked out.

For over ten hours, Lauren had answered every question asked of her, and offered more detail than even Vex's spies could provide. While quite a bit of what Lauren had revealed was information they already knew - key players, the layout of the Light Fae compound, Trick's personal schedule - there was much Bo had not heard before now.

Trick's mental state was more volatile than Bo remembered, and his lieutenants had grown more cruel and calculating. Though new information, Bo wasn't exactly surprised to hear it.

The one revelation that had surprised her, though, had not been about Trick, or his lieutenants or anything about the Light Fae compound, or even the war. It had been about Lauren herself.

At one point, Bruce had mentioned that - with Lauren's intel - the Dark Fae could eliminate Trick's entire organization. Lauren had startled them all with her instant and very vocal anger - insisting Trick was the target, and perhaps his lieutenants, but that there were good people in Trick's ranks, and Lauren wouldn't say another word if it meant their deaths.

If that's what the Dark Queen wanted, Lauren had said while looking squarely in Bo's eyes, then she should just kill Lauren now.

There had been a long silence after that. Bruce had looked to Bo, thinking that she would mete out some punishment. Vex's eyes had danced back and forth between Lauren and Bo, as if he saw something Bo didn't, but Bo -

Bo had been overcome with the strangest feeling when she saw Lauren defend non-combatants. She ultimately realized that what she felt was approval - and then she'd hoped that it hadn't shown on her face.

Lauren had then said that it was bad enough she was a traitor for helping stage a coup, but that she wouldn't be party to senseless murder.

Other than that, Lauren had made no demands. Not once did she ask for a thing in return - not even bathroom breaks or meals. Yet for all Lauren had revealed, Bo still had questions - ones that she had not wanted to ask in front of Vex or Bruce.

Why now? What was it about this particular group of Fae that Trick had threatened to destroy? What was in it for Lauren?

And why come to Bo?

And on top of everything else - as if all those things weren't enough - Bo was wrestling with one thing that occupied her mind above all the others.

Bo wanted Lauren.

She didn't just want to have sex with her, or simply feed from her. She wanted her - all of her. She wanted Lauren to be hers and hers alone and the urge was making her crazy. Her succubus wanted to claim the woman and never let her go. The more human side of her balked at those feelings. It wasn't very - well, humane for her to want to possess a human woman. But sometimes, when Lauren looked at her, Bo burned with the need to grab the woman, throw her down on the nearest horizontal surface and make Lauren hers.

It was a rush that made her skin tingle. She couldn't remember a time when she'd ever felt that way or heard the persistent whispers from her succubus to take what she wanted. If she was honest with herself, she might say that it was scary, but she pushed that thought from her mind as quickly as it had come.

It was currently a constant battle between her more human sensibilities and the instinctive drive of her succubus.

Lauren's aura wasn't helping matters. Though Lauren said not a word, there were moments when her energy pulsed with attraction and need, and even now, with Bo's eyes looking out the window and Lauren beyond Bo's peripheral vision, Bo could still feel the pull coming from the woman beside her. In fact, Bo was starting to wonder if Lauren herself might be some sort of Trojan horse, but then she surprised herself by praying that there was no subterfuge between her and her new charge, because she wanted to trust Lauren.
