She smiled dopily at Lauren as she watched her work. It was her favorite pastime lately. Lauren would occasionally look over her shoulder to check on her and she'd just smile back. How Lauren wasn't creeped out by it was a mystery to her still.
She had made a deal with the Ash to do some side work for him in order to visit freely and now she was here daily. Lauren loved her company letting her know with the occasional break for a make out session. Those were the best.
Lauren peered into her microscope, her hair cascading around her and she swooned. Why was Lauren so gorgeous?
"Ahem." A voice cleared in the room and they both jumped.
"Dr. Lewis ?"
An attractive and notably busty brunette stood just inside the doorway. She instantly didn't like her,especially due to the twisting in her gut.
"That's me."
Lauren stood confused and approached her. She watched them interact, her fingernails unconsciously digging into the palms of her hands.
"My name's Maria Santiago. I'm your new lab assistant."
"My new lab assistant?"
"Oh you mean the Ash didn't tell you?"
"No. I had no idea. I...guess I could use one though. Help is never a bad thing."
"Great." Maria smiled and she felt her lips curling in disdain. She didn't like this feeling.
"Do you have any lab experience?"
"Yes I worked for Dr. Torran for three years up until he decided to go off on a, I guess you would call it, an adventure."
"Wait. Dr. Torran as in the man who created the Fae genome project?!"
Lauren's eyes lit up at the possibility.
"Yes."
"You must tell me all about his research!"
Maria laughed at Lauren's enthusiasm and the wave of jealousy that hit her had her standing up to intervene- to introduce herself.
"Hi I'm Bo."
Maria looked at her outstretched hand and took far too long on deciding whether she should shake it.
"Maria." The woman replied in her light Puerto Rican accent. She pointedly looked the woman up and down concluding she was far too skimpily dressed for the lab.
Wasn't that some sort of a rule? Like no open toed shoes or miniskirts?!
"Forgive me as I'm new but who exactly are you? I haven't been informed of a Bo."
She pursed her lips.
"Bo is my girlfriend." Lauren said with a small but certainly proud smile. It momentarily had her leaving behind the negative feelings Maria's presence was invoking.
"Oh." Maria smiled uncomfortably. "Are you a doctor too?"
Lauren laughed and she turned to her in surprise. Hey she knew she wasn't as smart as Lauren but that didn't mean she didn't have the capability! Lauren suddenly realized how rude that was and gave her an apologetic look.
"I'm not a doctor. I'm more of a detective. Catching bad guys, solving cases. That sort of thing."
"But you aren't an actual detective?"
God dammit. Why did that matter. She ground her teeth having to say it out loud. She felt so lame and inadequate.
"No I'm not but that doesn't mean I'm not good at it."
Maria gave a nod of her head that said she wasn't so convinced. It had her blood boiling.
"Where should I start? Any overdue tasks or experiments that need tending?"
"Why don't I show you around first? "
"I'd love it." The two walked away and she bitterly mimicked Maria's
"I'd love it." to no one but herself.
By the time Lauren realized she has completely brushed off Bo she had already left the lab.
"Is something wrong?" Maria asked.
"Oh no. Nothing's wrong. I'm ecstatic to have a lab assistant. Especially one with your credentials. I'm sure you'll be teaching me just as well."
Maria beamed at her.
"Oh come on now. Me teaching the famous ? I doubt it."
She blushed despite herself.
"Well we'll just have to find out then won't we."
"We shall." Maria hummed sending her a look that said she was interested in more than just scientific inquiry. She swallowed thickly worried about this new development.
"Dr. Lewis where do you keep the pipettes?"
She pulled herself away from her work for about the umpteenth time in the span of five minutes. Maria was becoming more tiresome by the second.
"Top drawer next to the beakers…" She replied.
"Where?"
Oh for heaven's sake!
She stood and walked to the drawer pulling it open only to turn and be met with an eye full of cleavage.
Maria had followed her over and she hadn't even realized it.
She quickly tore her eyes away ashamed to have even caught a glimpse . The only brunettes cleavage she wanted to look at was Bo's but it wasn't her fault! They were just there!
"Thank you." Maria practically purred.
"You're welcome."
She sidestepped and quickly headed back to her slides.
Not even two minutes later.
"Dr. Lewis where are your alcohol swabs and -"
"Maria Please!" She huffed. "I'm sorry but you're very distracting right now. Unless you actually need these things right at this moment just work on preparing slides for me. "
The Puerto Rican frowned clearly hurt by her outburst and she had to apologize.
"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to concentrate on this tissue sample. It doesn't look like it should and I can't figure out why."
"Might I take a look?"
She hesitated but her need to figure this out had her accepting of another pair of eyes.
She stepped away from the microspore and Maria took over. Peering Into the lens her rear managed to somehow bump into her.
"Sorry." Maria said but she had the feeling she wasn't. What was this woman playing at she thought frustratedly stepping much further back.
"Necrotization."
"What?" She bumped Maria out of the way for another look.
Sure enough there were the tell tale signs of it.
"Yes of course! How did I not see that?" She said as she continued to look into the microscope. Maria moved even closer to her in her distraction. Just moments away from laying a hand where it didn't belong.
"What the hell!" Bo growled out. She jumped and Maria distanced herself quite a bit.
She looked angry, and was staring daggers at Maria. Had she missed something?
"Bo what's wrong?"
"Can I speak with you in the hall please."
"Yes of course." She smoothed her hands against her lab coat and followed Bo who seemed really agitated. It had her brow creasing with worry.
"Bo you're shaking. What is it?"
Bo couldn't speak. She watched as a whole range of conflicting emotions ran across her face and she had to pull the succubus into her arms to calm her.
"Please Bo." She breathed. "What's going on?"
Bo relaxed into her and the shaking subsided.
"Eight Lauren." Bo mumbled
"She's at an eight...Maria is totally into you and I'm not liking the vibes. She's way too high on my succubus scale."
"Oh…" Bo held on tighter and sighed into her neck.
"Do you want me to send her away?"
Bo pulled back to look here in the eye.
"You'd do that for me?"
"Of course."
"I really would but ...that's not fair to her or right. It's selfish. I'm being selfish. Just promise me you won't let her touch you…"
"You got it."
This protective, jealous side to Bo was doing wonders for her libido. Bo must've sensed her change in mood because her eyes darkened just as quickly.
"You're a blazing 10 right now." Bo moaned. "If we weren't In the hallway right now Id take you up on that."
Her words had her just about ready to melt into a puddle.
"Then let's go somewhere else…."
Bo's eyes light up and she nodded eagerly, taking her by the hand and leading her to a small custodial closet. She needed Bo so much at the moment. She even didn't care they had to share the space with a mop and some other various cleaning supplies.
Hot wet lips latched onto her neck, sucking and nipping hungrily. A leg instinctively wrapped around Bo's waist as her back made contact with the wall.
"I want you to be just mine Lauren…"Bo moaned her breath short and heavy. "I want you ." She repeated.
"Yes. I'm yours."
She ran her hands through Bo's locks clinging onto her as Bo's mouth moved to her jawline, desperately planting kisses along it's length.
Bo's hand ventured between her legs and she gasped. She hadn't ever considered being the type of person that would ever have any interest in sex at work but had every intention of doing so. She needed Bo and her delicious touch.
"Oh God." She panted. "Bo you feel so fuckin good."
Bo grinned into her moving her hand faster and capturing her lips in hers. Their breaths came faster and Bo worked harder, her body pressing her back further against the wall.
Bo brought her over the edge in a matter of seconds and she clung onto her like a plant to water.
"I'm yours." she moaned again. "I'm yours." she let her head fall back against the wall as she recovered and met the still hungry blue eyes of Bo. Her succubus.
"Lauren that was. So hot." Bo wedged her knee between her legs and attacked her with more kisses.
"Bo...I have to go back." She gasped through a kiss.
"I don't want you to." She whined.
"I don't want to either but I have to…"
Bo rested her forehead against hers and pulled back.
"Just remember she's at an 8 okay."
"And no touching."
"Yes. No touching."
"You're so adorable.."
"Lauren I'm serious."
"I know." She planted a chaste kiss to Bo's lips and straightened herself out. "Thank you for… claiming me." She half mused half purred.
"Lauren." She groaned. "Go before I turn into an unstoppable sex fiend." Her legs wobbled at the idea she wanted to find out what exactly that entailed but knew she had to leave.
"I'll call you when I'm off okay?"
"Okay. "
They exchanged one last kiss and she took the first brave step into the hall. Thankfully there was no one around to see her.
A/N:A jealous Bo was up for suggestion. Hope I did it justice. More to come but please don't hesitate to review. :)
