Tarus could have stayed that way, wrapped up with her, forever. But, too soon, he was pulling away. His breathing was uneven, he needed to let off some energy and steam.
He grinned lopsidedly at her. "Wanna run with me?" He was challenging her to a race, essentially. Vampire versus werewolf...there weren't too many humans around now, and the few that were, were probably drunk off their rocker anyway. No one would notice two inhuman blurs...

Phoenix smiled slightly as he asked her to run, taking a quick look around. The place was almost completely empty anyway, and even if they did see anything, no one would believe them anyway. She nodded, mischevious grin on her face. "You want to race, alright then, we'll race...But one thing first." She covered the small space between them quickly, locking her lips with his for just a moment, just long enough to distract him, before taking off running in the opposite direction, trying not to laugh. She cheated, but oh well, it was funny either way.

That was low, but he smiled anyway, because it was her. He took off after her, enjoying the wind in his face as the scenery streaked by - too fast to make out anything but blur. He was laughing as he was running, almost caught up to her now, he stayed slightly behind her, watching her form as she ran - enjoying watching her as much as he enjoyed the running. It was a race, sure, but he was willing to lose just to keep her in sight.

Phoenix turned her head so she could look at him, knowing too well what he was doing. She could feel his eyes on her, and she shook her head, her hair swishing down past her shoulder blades. "I thought I was going to get a race, not just a run where my boyfriend stays behind me, watching me run. It's no fun winning a race when I was allowed to win." She was enjoying the run, the wolf in her reveling in it. She hadn't been out for a run in a long time, and even though she wasn't in her wolf form, she still enjoyed it just as much. It gave her a high like little else could.

He heard her comment clear and smiled in spite of himself, growling low he lunged forward and grabed her arm and catching her up in his arms while still running. He kissed her with all of his desire on the lips, returning the favor, then set her down gently as he sprinted off. Let her deal with THAT... he smiled to himself as he ran. She was fast, she'd catch up he knew. And if she shifted, there was not way he'd ever win.
In the distance there was a lone lamppost, he mentally made the lamppost the goal and set his focus on it, resisting the urge to look back.

Phoenix growled slightly before picking up her speed to catch back up with him. She smiled to herself, alright, he wanted to play like that did he? She caught what he was staring at and grinned, shifting into her wolf form on the run, the movement fluid and natural to her as breathing. She placed herself under his feet for just a minute, just long enough to trip him, before shifting back to her human form. She stopped beside him for a moment, grinning at him before once again sprinting off towards the lamp post.

Tarus landed on the ground with a soft thud, dazedly looking up at Nix. He growled playfully at her and sprang to his feet after her. He had to work a bit to catch up to her again, they were almost to the lamppost now with her hanging on, barely in the lead. They were so close now he could lunge for it and win, but instead he lunged for her, catching her about the waist and drawing her close to him as they both fell to the ground, twisting so he wouldn't land on top of her and taking the brunt of the fall with his back. He grined up at her as he locked his arms around her waist - "Try to win now." he teased.

Phoenix laughed as she neared the lamp post, thinking that she'd won. But then she felt his arms wrap around her and pin her to his chest, causing both of them to fall. She laughed as she fell partially on top of him, her hair covering part of her face, falling over his. She grinned at him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "But love, if I can't win because you insist on keeping us like this, than you can't win either. Should we call this one a tie?" She asked, raising one eyebrow at him.

Tarus pondered that for a minute then pulled them both to their feet, still holding her close he took her hand in his, twining his fingers through hers as he held her hand up, palm out, and touched it to the lamppost. "No, my love." he whispered in her ear, "You win." His eyes lit with love and desire for her. "I already had my chance to win." he said pointedly speaking of her, of being allowed the chance to win her company and her love. He kissed the back of her neck, breathing in her scent. "Good race." he murmured.

Phoenix smiled slightly, leaning back into him, relaxing against him, shivering gently as he kissed the back of her neck. She looked up at him, studying his features for a few long moments, before nodding to herself, as if figuring out something important. "I've made my decision regarding you, Tarus. I've decided that you are too good looking for your own damn good. You should be locked up somewhere." She said, grinning at him, her green eyes catching the light of the moon.

He grinned at her. "Oh sure, appreciate my good looks - of which there are none, but don't for a second let yourself admit how beautiful you yourself are." he rolled his eyes at her, "Maybe it is you that should be locked up somewhere my dear." he teased and kissed her on the forehead, "Actually, I may not mind being locked up...as long as it was with you. So, yeah, go ahead, lock me up like Sleeping Beauty, but you are coming with me." he grrinned mischievously, enjoying the moment, the feel of her in his arms. He smile, her sparkling green eyes. The yellow light from the lamppost reflecting off her smooth skin. She was perfect in every way.....perfect, and perfectly his.

Phoenix laughed, buring her face against his chest to muffle the sound. "That is the biggest crock of bull I've ever heard. There are none, what messed up mirror are you looking in?" She asked, rolling her eyes. "And actually, us being locked up somewhere together wouldn't be so bad. Would you like me to kiss you to wake you from the evil spell?" She asked, kissing his chin gently, since she couldn't reach his lips at the moment.

He smiled at her reply. "Apparently the same mirror you are love. Maybe we should look in it together sometime...." The idea of seeing their faces in the mirror next to each other made him smile.
It was getting late. Much too late for him to stay out too much longer. He hated to end the night....he wanted her with him every second of his life, and he knew he would have to go home soon - without her. She had her sister to look after. He had to sleep, then it was back to work tomorrow. Ugh.
He turned her to face him and kissed her gently this time. "Time for the vampire to make his way home, unless you want me to be reduced to dust bunnies."

Phoenix looked up at the sky and sighed, the same thing that was on his mind on hers. She knew that he was going to have to leave soon, the edges of the sky were lightening. It seemed like the night had went by far too fast, she didn't want it to end, but she knew it had to. Was this how they were going to spend their relationship? Never being allowed to be around eachother other than for a certain amount of time, no matter what? She looked up at him and closed her eyes, laying her head agaisnt his chest. It was worth it; a little bit of time was better than nothing. She would just have to take what she could get.
When he kissed her, she gently kissed him back, trying to relay all the things she felt through that one small, gentle kiss. She laughed, shaking her head. "No, we can't have that happening. I will see you tomorrow, love." She said, giving him one more quick kiss before quickly turning around and running towards the woods, shifting on the run. Instead of a blonde haired girl disappearing behind the trees, it was a solid white wolf, disappearing without a sound into the night.

Tarus watched as she shifted into her wolf form - just a beautiful that way as in her human form. He sighed, he was never going to be able to get enough time with her. The sun was always going to rip them apart...if her pack didn't rip them apart first. He wished desperately there was a way around it all - a way out. He vaguely wondered what would have happened between them had he remained human or if he and his sister would have been found by a lycan instead of a vampire. This would have certainly been a much easier time in his life if things had happened that way..... He sighed looking up at the sky, completely alone now. If there was a God, he silently pleaded with him for there to be a way - any way....then he sprinted off towards his apartment, running so fast he didn't even stir up leaves lying on the ground.
Making it back in plenty of time - he retreated again to his bedroom and lay across the bed, unable to sleep. Tomorrow reality started all over again. Tomorrow he went back to his pretending to be mortal, filling his shift at the hospital. He snorted, honestly - he was so sick of all of it. Nothing mattered anymore, nothing but Phoenix. He wondered what would happen if he just didn't show up for work...he was still imagining the scene in his head when he finally drifted to sleep.
