Kenzi loved Bo, she really did, but even this was pushing the 'understanding' patience Kenzi had acquired for the succubus.

It all started when the mismatched group defeated the Garuda who was planning a Fae apocalypse. Everyone made it out of the depths of hell virtually unscathed. Vex had a shattered arm and Kenzi…well she almost died. If it weren't for her favorite siren, she would have been. Bo had gone super succubus after saving Trick, her grandfather, with her grandmother's essence. Kenzi had unbound everyone from Bo just in time to avoid the world enslaving the blue eyed succubus promised.

Skipping forward, Kenzi was laying on the couch with a pillow press firmly over her head trying to drown out the very loud reunion taking place in Bo's room. The stuffed fabric wasn't a very good noise barrier though; the loud moans easily penetrated the damn thing.

"Alright, I love Bo but this is re-donk-cu-lous" Kenzi said frustrated.

Removing her lousy barrier she hurriedly grabbed her heeled boots, zipping them up. She needed to get out of the love shack before she somehow got sucked into it. The Dal wasn't an option because everyone she hung out with was, basically, back in Bo's bed. Well most everyone, Bo was getting her succubusing on with Dyson and Lauren.

"I guess D-man finally decided to share his bone." Kenzi mumbled grabbing her black leather jacket she had recently stolen. She left the orchestra of moans and growls with a shut of a door.

Walking was the only option, not a very good one when wearing 6 inch heeled boots. After walking for what seemed like ages, in truth maybe 15 minutes, she arrived in front of a Goth bar. Carpe Noctem, it was Vex's bar. Yeah he was dark fae and all but he helped with the destruction of the Garuda. Ever since then Kenzi had a soft spot for the manipulative dark fae.

Upon entering Kenzi headed straight for what she was looking for, the bar. Quickly she ordered two shots of Vodka at a time to drown out the noises that were ingrained into her memory.

'Damn BoBo that shit is never going to leave my head.'

The bartender gave her an odd look, most likely because she was a small human girl drinking like a burly guy would.

"Yo fae man, hit me." She said loud enough for only the man to hear.

His eyes lit up with recognition, "Shouldn't your succubus have a leash on you." He smiled.

Before she could say something in a typical Kenzi fashion, Vex came up behind her. "Now, now love has he yanked your chain?"

"Shouldn't you save that joke for Dyson?" Kenzi bit. In all honesty she didn't know where the bitterness was coming from, she should be happy that her bestie and D-man were together again with the addition of Lauren.

"Testy much, I think someone needs a drink." Vex nodded to the bar tender.

He poured two more shots, Kenzi drank them one after the other.

"No this Kenzi needs to get a good night sleep without plaster falling on my head and moaning that could wake the dead." She spat.

Wow what had crawled up her ass?

Just then her damn arm started itching, badly.

"Oh poor human waking to her succubus doing the nasty" Vex teased.

Kenzi was not smiling; he thought it odd for this human. She was always smiling and cracking jokes, even on the verge of death. It was what he admired about her.

He caught her itch her arm like the appendage was on fire.

"Alright love why don't you come upstairs and tell Vex what has got your, presumably, lovely panties in a bind." Kenzi shot him a 'you better watch yourself if you like your balls' look.

He held his hands in the air, "No worries love I just want to talk."

She nodded hitting the smooth bar with her palm, signaling the bar man to give her two more for the road.

Downing the liquid she followed the sexy fae man.

'Whoa wait up Kenz, did you just think freaky fae over there was hot.'

A picture of his compromising position flowed through her tipsy mind.

"Never took you for one to be into the kink. Handcuffs, chains, and whips oh my." Kenzi's semi drunk mind forced itself outwards. All the thoughts came out of her mouth without permission, she hadn't realized it yet.

"I'm sure your into it too little goth girl" Vex retorted, amused by the human girl.

"Shit balls" was all she could say.

They walked up the steps and closed the door to his office. Kenzi grabbed a black comfy looking chair, trying her best to avoid all eye contact with the Mesmer fae.

"So are you going to tell me why your arm is glowing red with fae power or do I have to coax it out of you?" he asked suggestively.

She gaped, is that what was wrong with her arm.

It seems a gift has been given. The old crone's words played through her hazy memory.

"The norn, she said a gift had been given. I didn't know what she had meant."

"When did you go see the Norn, you foolish little human?" Vex couldn't believe this little girl faced off with the Norn.

"I had to get D-man's love for Bo back but the witch didn't want anything we had to trade. So I went back by myself with a little…motivation for her." She explained hesitantly.

"Motivation huh? What could motivate her?" He asked curiously.

Kenzi found her hands interesting, staring at them like they would do a magic trick. She just didn't want to tell Vex and have someone degrade her for her humanity and being stupid because of it.

"A chainsaw." Sweet, simple and to the point.

Vex didn't react the way she had thought he would.

He laughed and laughed hard.

"You threatened the Norn with a chain saw?" This girl had a lot of spunk.

"Yeah I did, she wanted to play dirty so I played Texas chainsaw massacre with her tree." Kenzi defended her grey eyes ablaze.

"Now what of your arm?" he asked gesturing to the pulsating red limb.

Kenzi was unsure about telling Vex this; he was after all acquainted with the Morrìgan. But for some reason she felt some sort of kinship with the odd fae.

"Alright I'll tell but you have to promise not to say a word to anyone. Not to Bo-Bo, no one." Her eyes spoke the many a tortures if he broke the promise.

Rolling his eyes he agreed not to tell anyone. Secretly he reveled in the fact that she trusted him, a small part of him had warmed to the idea of her around.

"Ok, some black goo shit fell off a shelf and got on my hand. It's been itching like crazy and I wasn't sticking around that bat shit crazy lady to find out why. I doubt grandma would tell me anyway." Kenzi huffed.

"That doesn't sound too good love, especially when it involves the Norn but you always have a knack for trouble, don't you." He was worried about her not that he would ever admit it out loud.

"Shouldn't you talk to the almighty Blood King about all this?" Vex asked.

The black haired woman sighed, fidgeting with the lace on her glove.

"I can't fae man. I can't be the weak human everyone thinks I am. I do nothing but bother them and get in the way already." He hadn't seen her act like this since he met her. Come to think of it he hadn't ever seemed like he cared about anyone in his life yet here he was, not being his usual self.

"I'll make you a deal my little human, you can stay at my abode until miss succubus finishes her sex-capade but in return you must ask Trick about your glowing problem, purely for my benefit of course." He tried making it sound like he was demanding but it didn't come out that way.

"I don't know, you being dark fae and all I'm not sure I can trust you let alone sleep at your house." She said teasingly.

Vex didn't show it but he was disappointed that she didn't trust him, although she had good reason not to.

"Chill dude I was only kidding. But I do have one favor to ask." Kenzi said with a smile.

He relaxed, what was wrong with him?

"And that would be?" he asked with a cocked brow.

"An extra-large cheese pizza, I'm starving." She said grabbing her stomach for added emphasis.

He laughed, "Yes fine, but you are paying me back when we get home."

Kenzi froze at the suggestiveness of paying him back.

Would she sleep with a fae, a dark one at that?

Was he being serious?

Shaking her head she followed him down the metal steps onto the dance floor and out the back door.

"So love how do you intend on returning my generosity?" Knowing very well she was uncomfortable with the hidden meanings he had been dropping. In all honesty if she were fae he wouldn't have thought twice about sleeping with her, she was a nicer female version of himself. Alas she wasn't fae, so would he still give a go at her?

"Dude this is your car?" she asked petting the hood of the black old school muscle car.

Vex nodded, surprised by her interest in cars.

"Is it a '66 Pontiac GTO?" she asked giddiness lacing her voice.

"Close but no cigar. It's a '67." He said taking the keys from his pocket.

"I jacked something close to this before but this is the most awesome car I've ever seen." She said with barely contained glee.

Vex didn't know what possessed him to allow such a thing but he asked if she wanted to drive it.

"Have you come down with the fae flu or something?" She joked.

"Take it or leave it. The offer expires in 3…2…-"Kenzi interrupted

"-Sold to the goth girl in the back." She hooted running over to Vex and grabbing the keys.

"Vex, dude you're the awesomest" she leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek. She was so caught up in the car she didn't even notice she had kissed him. But Vex did.

'I just let a bloody human kiss me and I liked it.' The anger he would normally feel about this moment never came. Anger in general didn't exist around the petite human girl.

'What in the hell is happening to me? I'm human whipped.'

"So Vexster where does the Mesmer dwell?"

"I'm not sure I want you stalking me later." He teased.

"Puh-lease like you are anything to stalk, you would enjoy too much anyway." Kenzi quipped.

This is why he enjoyed her company; she was always witty and full of comebacks. She never took things too seriously, always finding humor even when she was injured. She was like him without the extreme anger and violence that he possessed. Well she wasn't like that to his knowledge but he had a feeling she was hiding many secrets.

"Ok then, turn left up here" He directed.

"You feeling ok? You seem…different." She queried.

He didn't like the way she said different it made it seem as if she didn't like the way he was.

"Why does it bother you, lowly human?" he snipped. His anger was getting the best of him and he was overreacting, he knew it but couldn't figure out how to shut it off.

She laid her small hand on his, "No Vex you just seemed like you didn't want to hang, that's all."

The apology he should have given wouldn't make it passed his mind. His voice froze making it impossible to say the two little words he knew would make the atmosphere less tense. His body refused to apologize to her, either from never delivering one or subconsciously her humanity was preventing his superiority complex from doing so.

For heaven's sake he was a Mesmer, he could control one's body and yet he couldn't force himself to utter 'I'm sorry'. The awkward silence continued on, Vex only speaking to tell her directions.

Kenzi couldn't take much more of the crazy quiet, "So do you have any girls locked up that I should know about?" she jested trying to lighten the crushing silence.

"Oh yes, so I ask when you are in my home do not open any of the doors. You may let one out." He winked. The fae was happy to be thrown a bone, so to speak.

The car pulled up to a large mansion like home.

"I should have remembered how to get here, you know being here once before to save your fae ass from an over enthusiastic dominatrix." She just had to add that in didn't she?

"The way you constantly speak of that moment, I would think you enjoyed it." He jibed.

Kenzi couldn't help it, she blushed.

"Don't be so full of yourself, fae don't even make a blip on my radar. What is it with fae anyway? Thinking they're the shit?" she said hiding her face.

In reality fae made more than a blip on her radar, Dyson was attractive. Hale, well he was a siren enough said. Sean, oh Sean, she would have liked to of known him better. Finally Vex, well he was more her type minus the dark fae crap.

'Damn fae and their lures. If only I were fae, maybe I'd be immune.' That what she tried to tell herself, but deep down she wished she was fae. Maybe she would actually have a shot with them if she weren't weighed down by her humanity.

"Vex" she was about to blow the whole' fae don't make a blip' cover.

"Yes"

"Would you, if it were allowed…you know what never mind I'm just being dumb. Forget I said anything." She rambled on hoping he wouldn't push. She had no idea why she had even thought to bring it up, it would only serve to cause more awkwardness between them and that wasn't what she wanted.

Vex wasn't stupid he knew what she was getting at; he himself had asked the question back at the club. The answer still eluded him. Would he be with her? Would he go farther than just sleeping with her? Maybe she was right in dropping the topic it brought up some…confusing feelings he wasn't ready to deal with.

"So let's get inside and order that pizza I promised." He said hoping to extinguish the uncomfortable atmosphere.

A/N So this is my first Lost Girl fan-fiction. I hope you enjoy it!
