Garden

Lauren breathes out, moaning as Bo's lips kiss over her breasts. Lifting her head up, Bo smiles and picks up the clock next to the bed, temporally stopping in the middle of sex to allow Lauren a moment to breathe after the massive hit of endorphins she gave her through the kisses. Lauren, gratefully, hold the moment peacefully as she watches Bo pick up the analogue clock. "It's ten," Bo notices. "Last I read the time it was ten in the morning."

"That's when this all began," Lauren replies as she pulls Bo back to her. Smiling, the succubus pushes her lips onto the doctor's before Lauren finds a burst of energy. Suddenly, Bo finds herself thrown onto her back. Never missing a kiss, Lauren smiles and deepens, feeling her tongue dance devilishly before she lifts her head away. Tucking blonde behind her ear, she smiles down at Bo. "What's the longest sex session you've had."

Bo pauses and thinks before she shakes her head, "I don't know, but I think this twelve hour one must be pretty high up the top." Lauren smiles, the hint of dimples on her cheeks as she brushes her fingers on Bo's cheek, slipping wayward strands of dark hair off from the succubus's face.

"I don't want it to end," she admits with a whisper.

"Well then Doc, I suggest-" she lifts Lauren's hand from her face and pulls it back beneath the sheets, "you use this hand to- yes," she stretches her neck and breathes out. "Then you...ah," she moans, "...you know my body."

"I should hope so," Lauren laughs, "if today alone is anything." Breathing in, Bo closes her eyes and nods, rolling her sex over the teasing fingers, feeling Lauren graze around, tempting and teasing profusely, refusing not to enter. Lauren loved to tease, liked to drag sex sessions on for all blissful eternity and feel Bo thrive beneath and around her. She wanted to watch Bo slip and fall into ecstasy as her fingers, lips, tongue and whatever else they decided to use, pushed Bo over the edge until she was at the peak and begging.

Quietly, to herself, she enjoys the feeling of knowing that she is the one that pleases Bo into that state. That's not to that that Bo isn't excruciatingly good, because she goddamn well is, and the succubus endorphins are always used in the last session to push the bar that much higher from the last time, but there's something about watching someone orgasm, screaming your name in pleasure, that just can't compare.

Again, now, she watches it happen as Bo's voice warns her, moaning a high-pitched, almost song-like "Lauren," before her body wraps tighter around Lauren's, her head arching up as her body curves into her, tenses and then shakes before all too soon, Bo's muscles relax. Rolling her eyes in serenity, Bo collapses back onto the bed with a sigh of happiness.

Lifting her fingers out, she kisses Bo's lips and nuzzles against her shoulder, enjoying the sensation of Bo lazily wrapping an arm under her neck and around her body.

"Where'd the time go?" Bo mutters as she reaches up and grabs the clock. Some how, the hour hand had moved up another hour in what had felt like only a few brief moments. Lauren laughs and kisses her neck softly, sighing against it. "You have some serious stamina."

"Mmm, not really," she whispers. "I don't think you realize how much you were helping me and yourself."

Bo laughs, burying her head under a pillow before Lauren tore it away, hitting her with it in the process. "Hey!" Bo shouted, grabbing the other pillow, "that's not fair!" colliding the pillow with Lauren, she sees the doctor's mouth fall open in mock-shock. Determination across her face, she moves her body in retaliation. Pulling her arms up, she throw the pillow down on Bo with all the energy she could muster - which for either of them, isn't much after the events of the day and causes Bo to tackle Lauren on the sheets and pin her down.

Tiredly, they wrestle before Bo gives up and lies down on Lauren's naked body, feeling the sweat from both of them, stick to each others skin. Quietly, they lie in each other's arms. Time passes briefly and Lauren turns her head to the lightly sleeping Bo that was idly running her fingers over Lauren's breasts.

"Bo?"

A soft hum came from the woman, vibrating through her chest, into Lauren's. Lauren smiled, enjoying the feeling before she asks, "Can we go outside?" in a whisper.

"In the rain?"

"It's not raining anymore." Bo blinks, lifting her head up as she listens for the night sky. At the silence, a grin spreads across her features. Happily, Bo rises up, off Lauren, and walks over to the other side of the room. She snatches her dressing gown off the mirror and holds it briefly in her hand before turning. She goes to throw the material at Lauren only to see the blonde in one of Bo's loose 'comfy' shirts, and in her own underwear.

Bo's eyes stop, looking over the very delicious Lauren and feeling the hunger set in her again. In her own world, Lauren stares graciously at Bo's body before she swaggers over, hair a mess, features glowing, and kisses Bo on the lips.

Entwining their hands, Lauren drags her outside the room, down stairs to the lounge rom and stops dead. "Is Kenzi awake?" She asks.

Bo blinks, the smile slipping into a puzzled expression as she stares at the five gnomes on the couch, one of which was upside down with his head buried between the cushions and spine of the couch. Picking one up, she stares at it. "I don't know, maybe she got up for a drink and...ah found some gnomes?" She pauses and laughs, "Maybe they're from the basement." She tilts her head and places it back down. "But they're creepy popping up everywhere."

Lauren stares at them and taps her fingers on one of the red hats. Hearing the sound of hollow ceramics she shrugs and places it back. "Well they sound like garden gnomes, I can't tell you much more without any equipment."

Coming up behind her, Bo wraps her arms around Lauren and sits her head onto the blonde's shoulder. "If you had your equipment, the last thing we would be doing is looking at garden gnomes." Lauren chuckles, leaning back into Bo before the woman lets go and grabs Lauren's hand again. In public, Bo isn't much for holding hands at all, but in the privacy of her home, holding Lauren's hand made her feel like a school girl, all innocent, pure and bashful.

Well maybe not innocent and pure with what they've been doing, but bashful and sincere, with young love butterfly feelings in her stomach.

And an orgasmic rush clouding her thoughts.

There was just something about tonight that makes everything feel amazing, and them so horny. Maybe it's the endorphins, or the feeling that Lauren is hiding something important and is desperate to hold onto the moment between them before she spills, but whatever it is, Bo wishes the day didn't have to end.

If there was ever a day she wanted to be groundhogs day, this is it.

One thing is certain, though, from today. Neither one would be walking very well for the next few days, and will painful reflect back on all the odd aches and sores in places they didn't realize could ache and be sore.

Once outside, Bo wraps an arm around Lauren and looks up at the night sky. Some of the clouds had parted to show off the glittering stars that laid behind, but instead of keeping her eyes still, to look up at them, she turns her head and observes the passively standing Lauren.

In the dull half moonlight, Bo notices that Lauren's hair glimmers like silk. The doctor had explained to her about silk once, something with big words and lots of hand movements about hexagons or diamonds...or...she'd been too busy watching the hands and listening to the voice to actually notice what she'd been saying.

Not everything is sex for Bo though, and Lauren's hand movements is one of them. She honestly just enjoys seeing them move around, likes the way they look, and how sometimes the woman wears rings and other times doesn't. She especially likes it when Lauren snaps on and off gloves. Perhaps the last one is a sex thing and Bo's sort-of kink for Lauren in lap coats being sexy doctor. (One day, she'll get the woman in a lap coat and nothing else and fulfill her fantasy.)

Ifthereisaoneday...she realizes suddenly.

Turning, she hears her voice whisper, "Lauren," Her heart begins to ache as words are pulled into her throat. Suddenly, she feels her mind cursing her succubus heritage, cursing her inability to ever remain monogamous and cursing Lauren's human heritage.

Smiling from the stars, Lauren turns and looks at Bo, her expression falling immediately as she cups Bo's heartbroken face. "What's wrong?"

"Tonight will end, and tomorrow you'll return to the Ash...everything will happen." Smiling bitterly she looks to the ground as her eyes blur, "is it wrong that I so desperately wish we could just...do this all the time, be carefree and..." her words trailed off, the last part being too terrifying for either to dare to whisper to themselves, let alone each other.

"I'll always come when you call Bo, no matter what."

Bo smiles, honestly before her mind overworks the situation. "When Nadia awakes-" Lauren's hands drops as she flicks her eyes away. Defensively, Bo grabs her wrist. "She will wake-up soon Lauren, and...what if she doesn't like me, what if you fall in love with her all over again and become monogamous. What if..." Bo trails off, tired, emotionally exhausted and wondering where all of the words were coming from and why in the world couldn't she stop talking.

Lauren turns and kisses her, pulling her tight to her body. Bo, taken aback, doesn't react until a moment before Lauren pulls away. There a pause as a wind rustles through their hair, brushing their faces and secluding them from the dark night.

"Bo," Lauren begins, holding her face in a cupped hand as she tries to figure out her own mind. "Today was amazing, tonight has been bliss, and yes, tomorrow I return to the ash, and yes we're a step closer to saving Nadia, but it hasn't happened yet and to be honest, I don't know what I will do when it does, and I don't care right now."

Bo's lips part to question but Lauren shakes her head.

"For the past five years, tonight in this month, I spent the day alone, and I don't think you even realize why which makes everything that much special." Breathing out she drops her hand from Bo and places in on the succubus' shoulder. "I don't want tonight to end, I've never wanted a night in bed with you to end, ever." She laughs, shutting her eyes and drinking in the moment before she continues, "I just wanted to be in your arms, sleeping, kissing, fucking, until I couldn't breathe anymore which is so incredibly cliched and horribly articulated." Her face crinkled in annoyance at her own lack of eloquence before she defiantly shakes her head. "Please, Bo, please understand that any other night I'll try my best to answer your questions but not tonight."

Bo frowns, stepping closer and watching Lauren take a step back from her.

"God, I'm lonely, and being with you makes me forget that, and about the fae, and every little thing else I'm tangled in, and I just want tonight to be that, can I ask that favor from you?"

Bo's frown deepens as she pinches her brow, "Lauren...what's tonight?"

Lauren's lips twitched in a scowl as she looks to the ground and mutteres an answer.

"What?"

"...birthday. It's my birthday." Bo stumbles.

"Lauren!" She shouts, "why the hell didn't you tell me? I could have gotten you a present, or-"

Laughing again, heartily, feeling joy spill up inside of her, Lauren grabs Bo's arms and places them around her waist. Putting one of her's on Bo's shoulder, she tugs at the dressing gown's string with the other. "Usually I spend today alone with a bottle of wine, especially these past few years," she admits, "spending it with you, and having you treat me like this without feeling the...necessity to, feels like the best present I could have."

Understanding, Bo nods and smiles. This time, stepping forward and kissing her lips tenderly as a giggle spills out.

"What?" Lauren asks, worrying.

"Nothing, nothing, I swear."

Lauren pulls away, raising her eyebrows.

Shaking her head, Bo giggles again before laughing and pulling Lauren to her. "It's nothing, I just...don't change Lauren, ever, don't change for anyone. You're perfect the way you are." Tilting Lauren's head up, she kissed her forehead. "Now, with what you said before..."

"Before?"

"about fucking."

"Oh," Lauren grins, "shall we continue our marathon then?"
