Claire was lying in bed next to the warm heat of Shane's body spooned against hers, his arm was limply draped across her on the outside of the duvet. Claire studied his face as the sun peeked over the horizon and the light hit his face making the angles of his face strikingly beautiful. It always struck her in her heart, how anyone could love her, plain old Claire, skinny not curvy and not in her opinion beautiful no matter what Shane tells her, she always a shock when he looks at her with so much love. Claire had to drag herself away from staring at his face and manoeuvre out from underneath his arm. Slowly she tip toed around the room to gather her clothes and slipped out of the room to head for a shower. After what felt an amazing shower, she got dressed and slowly poked her head back into her room to grab her book back and head to TPU.

After a long day of classes Claire just wanted to go back to the Glass house however she promised Myrnin her vampire boss/friend that she would go to his lab (cough cough Lair) not that Claire would admit to him that's what she calls it. Myrnin's lab was airily quiet as she went in and it was totally pitch black. The dark seemed menacing, daring her to come in. Slowly she made her way in and put her arm out against the wall looking for the switch as she descends the stairs. She found the switch as flicked the light on, closing her eyes against the glare. Claire looked around the room it didn't look any different, just the usual chaos that was Myrnin's lab.

'Myrnin?' Claire asked the air.

'Myrnin you here?' where the hell is he, Claire thought he never likes it when I'm late and he doesn't even bother to turn up. Like what the hell, he should be here. Claire slowly made her way into Myrnin's bedroom; Clare had stayed here once against her will when she had to for the sake of the people she loved. He wasn't here either, although the lights where already on in here. Claire had a quick look around and before she turned around a hand grabbed her around the mouth stopping her from screaming. The hand was cold and felt damp? OMG Claire's heart was going a mile a minute, please don't be a Draug! We had only just destroyed them and the head Draug Marcus, we couldn't have missed one. Over the intense beating of her heart Claire could have sworn some one was talking to her, telling her to calm down…..it sounded like Myrnin.

The hand spun her around and relief flooded out of her as she was looking up at Myrnin and his naked chest?! His hair was dripping wet and he had a towel slung low over his hips. OMG Myrnin was naked and all she could do was stare at his masculine figure and his chest. Myrnin coughed making Claire jump out of her skin and feel a blush rise up over her cheeks making her look what she thought resembled a tomato. Claire felt as though she has been caught doing something, which technically she had. Myrnin was looking at her with this look of such longing it hurt her to look into her eyes but there wasn't anywhere else to look without seeming like she was checking him out which actually shocked her because before he coughed that's exactly what she had been doing.

'Um…..hey Myrnin sorry for the intrusion but I thought we were working, I didn't expect you to be, um…taking a shower. Ill just go wait outside.' She tried to manoeuvre around Myrnin but before she could make it out of his bedroom. Myrnin grabbed her arm and spun her round to face him. Myrnin slowly bent his head and kissed her on the lips, it was so unexpected and lovingly gentle. Claire surprised herself because she felt herself respond to the kiss. Opening her mouth for Myrnin to make the kiss deeper, Myrnin pushed Claire up against the wall and had one hand around the back of her neck. Claire's hands were feeling the muscles and movements of Myrnin's broad back, the movements of their mouths timed perfectly and tongues coming together his cold and hers warm. It was if they had moulded into one person. Claire moaned into his mouth and Myrnin responded the kiss was like pure lust.
