Myrin caught Claire's falling body in his arms, and quickly laid her down on the workbench in the middle of the lab.
"I'm so sorry Claire" he mumbled, as he licked his lips softly. He swore he would never hurt her, yet here he is watching over her unconscious body. Myrin just stood there watching her, pleading for her to wake up.
"I am so sorry Claire, I said I couldn't have you but I can't resist. I… I do think I actually love you. I go out my mind when your not here with me, I actually feel like my body is aching for you. You make me smile inside, even if I don't show it. No I can't show it, I can't let you know how I feel- us.. We can never happen. No matter how much it pains me to say so. I must abide by the laws little Claire, and that means that I must remain your boss and not become anything more. I did try ever so hard to keep from liking you, but there is that something about you. Then I begun to enjoy your company, almost like a friend. And now. Now look what you have done to me little Claire. No this cannot happen, but I can't let you leave mad at me can I? No"
Myrin leaned down and gently kissed her soft lips, he felt that wonderful sensation fill him again.
"Oh you do ever so make me, feel human" he muttered, then Claire began to mumbled and he swept back. Leaning against the wall casual.
"Ow, god my head hurts" Claire mumbled from the workbench. She tried to sit up, but she hurt and felt dizzy.
"Myrin! Where are you? Hand me that stake, I'm going to plunge it into you and poke around all your organs before making my way up to your heart, then I'm going to twist it and watch you burn you bastard- you bit me!" Claire began to rant, as she lay flat staring at the ceiling. Myrin couldn't help but chuckle from were he stood.
"If you promise not to stake me, I will give you my bunny slippers" he chuckled, and watched her expression change.
"Seriously? The bunny slippers?" Her tone had already settled and a smile had appeared on her face.
"Yes, I have more anyway. You know stocking and all that" and instantly, the smile faded.
"Well I don't feel very special at all now, I thought you was going to give me your adored fanged bunny slippers. But the effectiveness has worn off. No I wish to stake you" Claire's voice sounded serious, but she didn't mean it- she wanted to scare Myrin.
"Very well, you can plunge the stake into my heart- but retrieve it and stake me yourself. If you can catch me that is" Myrin toyed with her, as he stood in a running stance.
"Very funny, but I've been rendered incapable as you bit me!" Claire snapped again, as she ran her hand along her neck. Nothing.
"What the? What have you done? No fang marks, what sorcery you done this time?" She was still trying to locate the were about of the puncture holes in her neck.
"I did not bite you Claire, I promise I wouldn't didn't I. I am a man of my word" Myrin still stood in the running stance, but now he was intensely watching Claire.
"But, I remember feeling your breath- you were very close to me! If you weren't biting me, what were you doing?" Claire began to feel uncomfortable.
"And why am I sore?!" She snapped again.
"Well if you calm down, I will tell you- but not until you calm down and apologize for thinking I had broken my promise" Myrin was now stood next to her, arms folded and looking down at her with eyebrows raised.
"Fine, I'm sorry" she muttered, clearly not meaning it.
"You fainted, probably from that fast-paced ticker of yours. It was beating awfully fast. And as I caught you, I kind of gave you slight whiplash" Myrin smirked at the last comment and Claire flashed him evils.
"You still haven't told me, why you was invading my personal space" Myrin froze, and Claire almost felt her breathing stutter also.
"I… I was just trying to stop you from leaving- which was successful as you fainted" He lied.
"Oh.. Ok. Well I need to go home, it's late and I finished work a while ago- wait how long was I out?"
"Oh not very long, about twenty minutes?"
"Oh.. Still I need to get home" Claire sat up slowly, holding a hand to her aching neck. As she stood up, her knee's felt shaking and Myrin held his arm around her to steady her.
"Will you be ok?" He asked, clearly shocking Claire.
"Yeah, I'll be fine no thanks to you. Good-bye Myrin" and with that, she hobbled out his lab, leaving him stood there regretting his decision.
He almost head butted that wall in anger, but decided against breaking the wall.
"Stupid Myrin, too close. Way to close"
