Teasing

"Lets."

She said with a grin, leaning down like you would if you were starting a race and kicking off her shoes before pushing off the ground.

She chuckled softly as she sprinted forward, she was small and very fast, looking over her shoulder at him.

"Do try to keep up."
She called as she weaved through the trees with ease.

Aodh bound after her.

It took him a good few moments to catch up to her. Vampire were generally faster than Lycan. And she was pretty fast.

She giggled softly as he caught up.

"Took your time."

She teased and she jumped over top of him, going a twist in the air before landing on the opposite side of him and continuing running.

The vampire was not above showing off, especially when it came to her gymnastic ability.

I'm not as fast as vampires.

He rolled his silver eyes as she flipped over him.

Show off.

"That much goes without saying."
She said with a smirk, slowing down slightly so she did not get ahead of him.

"It's all those sweets weighing your fat ass down."

Alexis chuckled and nodded.
"If you've got it, flaunt it."

He barked a laugh.

What fat? My ass is beautiful.

He knew he had a good ass. More than enough people have complimented or ogled it for him to know it was true.

"What ever helps you sleep at night, fatty."

She teased, smacking him on the rear before pouncing up into the low laying branches of the three, following him by jumping and swinging from branch the branch.

She was high enough that she didn't have to worry about a counter attack.

The Lycan snorted a laugh.

He yelped, flinching away from the strike then turned a level look on the vampire.

If you wanted to slap my arse, Alexis, all you had to do was ask! he called up to her with a wolfish grin.

"I prefer begging for forgiveness than asking for permission."

She chuckled, quoting Grace Hopper down at him.
The vampire smirked and pounced on him, knocking the wolf off of his feet.

"So slow..."

His silver eyes rolled again.

He gave a grunt as he was knocked off his feet, gazing up at Alexis with unamused eyes.

She chuckled and planted a kiss on the wolf's nose before getting to her feet.

"Oh don't look so sour."

Alexis replied to his rather disapproving eyes as she dusted herself off, he was so playful one moment then so bored looking the next, such a difficult man to judge.

His muzzle wrinkled and he gave a sneeze when she pressed her lips to his nose.

I don't like being knocked around.

The man stretched out before climbing to his feet again, shaking his red-tinted grey fur out.

"Such an old man, can't take a few knocks."
She teased, stroking his head softly.

"I thought lycans were meant to be tough and resilient."

How she ever thought she would be able to go an entire day without insulting him was beyond her now.

"I've been up all night and all day. Give me a break."

He was tired.

The Lycan leaned into the hand stroking him, eyes sliding shut.

She smiled at him affectionately, in all honestly she was getting tired too.

"Come here."

She cooed softly as she knelt down beside him, pulling him against her as she stroked his head and neck gently.

She leaned against him with a growling purr that was as close to a true purr as a canine could get.

He wouldn't openly admit it, but he loved being pet and stroked.

She scratched behind his ears, letting her nails rake through his fur.

Being this close felt far less intimate when he was in wolf form, a smile tugged at the corner of her lips, she like this.

She ran her fingers across his jawline, down his neck and scratched at his chest softly as the other hand continued with stroke his head and ears.

He lay still against he, eyes closed, 'purring', and just enjoying the feeling.

His tail beat against the ground as she continued to stroke him.

She stroked him for a few more minutes before nuzzling in against his neck, she wrapped her arms around him in a hug then rose to her feet.

"Come on, lets head home, I'm getting tired and hungry."

She said with a soft smile as she looked down at him.

The wolf nodded, standing himself and turning to pad back the way they had come from.

He found his shorts and shifted back, pulling them on.

"I'm gonna stuff my face then crawl into bed," he decided, stretching his arms above his head as he headed back towards his car.

She nodded and covered her mouth with the back of her hand as she yawned.

"Mmm...same, I might try to stay up a bit longer though, I don't think I will be able to sleep through tonight and all day tomorrow."

She rubbed her eyes softly, she really was tired, blood bags were going have to suffice for tonight, no way she could be bothered hunting.

"I can keep you company until I feel like I'm going to pass out, if you want?"

He slid into the car and just leaned back in the leather seat for a few moments before giving a large yawn and turning the key in the ignition.

She smiled and shook her head.

"Aodh you already look like your ready to pass out."

She said with a soft chuckle and she slipped back into the car.
The vampire really did like riding in the car, it was comfortable and even in silence she found staring out the window amusing.

"I don't want to be keeping you up all night, you'll end up nocturnal like me."

He gave a half-shrug.

"I can last a little longer." He was tired, yes, but he knew he would be able to keep her company for another couple hours.

It didn't take long for them to get to the mansion.

"If you feel up to it then I am not going to say no."
She offered him a soft smile as she slipped out of the car once they had reached the mansion.

She took his hand again and heading for the kitchen.

"I'd offer to cook you something but I am worse than useless in a kitchen."
