"He had dark blue eyes behind a fringe of ridiculously long lashes, pale, beautiful skin,
the kind of mouth that could bring despair and delight- and what the hell was she doing, thinking about such things?"
– Anne Stuart
Trusting the one person you probably shouldn't· Dangerous and lovely· Wild things· Bad influences on each other· Rushing adrenaline· Desperate touches· Hungry eyes· Tracing patterns onto skin· Tested patience· Bickering and reluctant apologies· Crashing waves· Steady gazes· Competitive streaks· Their love is burning and wild· It tastes dangerous and burns to the touch but on cold nights it the best way to stay warm.

W H I C Hx O N E . . .
Does something reckless and gets told off by the other person? ⟡ Dove has a distinct affinity for adrenaline rushes and seeks them out at the strangest of times, which drives Nero absolutely insane.
Sleeps on the couch when they get into a fight? ⟡ They are both far too stubborn to give up territory like that, leading to both of them lying in bed, fuming all the way through the night.
Sneaks up behind the other person to give him/her a scare? ⟡ Nero. And much to Dove's annoyance it works every damn time. He is known for disappearing without a trace and appearing suddenly again when you least expect it.
Falls asleep on the couch and who has to carry that person to bed? ⟡ Dove is likely to pass out in the strangest nooks and crannies after a long day of physical endeavours, leaving it to Nero to tug her in - A task he secretly enjoys more than he lets on.
Kisses whom first? ⟡ X.
Has to restrain the other person in order to prevent them from getting into a fight? ⟡ It would depend on the day, as they are both likely to have fits of rage every now and again. Due to the considerable difference in size and strength, however, containing Dove's anger is easier than vice versa.
Says "I love you" first? And who ends their arguments in a fight with "Because I love you"? ⟡ X.
Watches the other person in his/her sleep? ⟡ They are both prone to doing so on occasion, because it is the only time where they truly get to observe their significant other without having to explain themselves.
Offers their jacket when the other one is cold? ⟡ Both of them would rather freeze than admit they were cold in front of the other person.
Keeps getting threatened by the other's overprotective older sibling? ⟡ Needless to say, Dove's older siblings, Rowan and Darcy, were not impressed with her choice of a dhampir boyfriend. Especially Rowan goes out of his way to stare down Nero, grilling him for details about the relationship to ensure his baby sister's safety and happiness.

LOVE LANGUAGE
"He was sitting not far away, watching me, and I surprised a smile on his face, the first real smile I had ever seen him give, a smile that curved and softened the tight mouth, and warmed the ice-cool eyes; a smile that brought the blood to my face and made my heart turn over."
– Juliet Marillier

It begins with absence and desire,
it begins with blood and fear.
For those, whose love language is that of the physical touch, they yearn for the intimacy that comes along with having a parnter close by at all times. They find comfort in the physical connection, shared body heat and skin meeting skin, whether that be sexual or something more platonic. Holding hands, rubbing each other's backs, falling asleep with arms and legs intertwined or caressing each other lightly is just as beneficial to the relationship as a sexual act, although they are likely at their happiest when they melt together and become one with their significant other. To this person, a kiss on the forehead means a thousand times more than any declaration of love, and they themselves usually communicate their affection in the same, physical manner. They connect most deeply with their partner, when they are physically entangled, and they find both joy, excitement and beauty in knowing each other's erogenous zones and vulnerabilities without ever having to utter a word.
So leave your expensive gifts and grand gestures at home when it comes to charming this person, because a physical entanglement is all it takes. As long as it is given and received at the right time and place with good, honest intentions behind it.
"She wanted to do anything to get him to move away from her, release her from his impaling gaze. She felt like a hunted rabbit caught in a snare, facing the inexorable death in her hunter's eyes."
― Anne Stuart
K I S Sx M E

"He slid his hand up her neck and caught her chin. The strength in those long, pale fingers was palpable, but he wasn't hurting her. Shaming her, arousing her, tormenting her. But there was no brute force in his touch."

Is more afraid of loosing the other? ⟡ They each have their reasons for keeping a watchful eye on the other person, but would never admit to said worry.
Makes fun of the other person for having a crush on them? ⟡ Nero mocks Dove mercilessly, claiming that her fluttering heartbeat gave her feelings away long before she admitted to liking him.
Is more protective of the other person? ⟡ Not that Dove needs it, or so she stubbornly insists, yet Nero has laid a certain dhampiric claim on her, rarely letting her out of his sight for long.
Thinks they don't deserve the other person's love and affection? ⟡ They take turns questioning the odd constellation that is their relationship: Breathtakingly dangerous and highly unlikely to work out, yet they always circle back and straight into each other's arms.
Caves first in a fight? ⟡ Neither one of them would cave. Not ever. They are both too proud and stubborn to do so.
Constantly wears the other's clothes? ⟡ Dove wears Nero's clothes. In part because of the tailoring and impeccable quality of it all, not to mention Nero's smell, but especially because parading the house in his shirts is the sure way to teasingly annoy him all the while infusing his possessions with her scent.
Pays more attention to the other person? ⟡ They are both quite attentive people, secretly knowing the other person's mannerisms, timetables and favourite books.
Puts his/her head on the other person's shoulder for comfort? ⟡ Dove has made a habit of resting her head on Nero's shoulder; some times for comfort and others to wordlessly make him aware of her presence. To let him know that she is there for him.
Initiates the touching when the other person is near? ⟡ Touch means something completely different to them, and it is a constant balance between wanting each other near and being careful not to trigger Nero's lust for blood.
Has vivid dreams about the other person? ⟡ Dove. Frightening and... Less frightening ones. She does not know which part she finds most embarrassing, and would rather snap her broom in half than admit dreaming about Nero at all.

"Her gaze on [Nero], [Dove] wished she could see his eyes. His expression was unreadable. Shoulders propped against the stone arch, arms folded cross his chest, he watched her like a hawk. A brooding, potentially menacing hawk. Or a wolf anticipating a meal."

When a Taurus and a Scorpio come together in a love affair, their union is nothing if not intense.
They are opposite signs in the Zodiac, giving them a special, complex connection. Together they melt into one another to make a whole, each partner's strengths balancing out the other's weaknesses. Their sexual attraction is likely to be off the charts, and there is no denying the magnetic gravitation towards the other person. The Taurus and the Scorpio have abundances in common, but because their personalities are so domineering, and each tend to stand their ground rather firmly, they often swing between passionate love and passionate disagreement.
"There is no place far enough that you can run. If a doe flees into the forest as far as her legs will carry her,
does not the wolf simply follow?"
– Juliette Cross
The Scorpio tends to be very deep, and too much upset will most likely cause a tidal wave. When the Scorpio feels crossed by a lover, watch out for that deadly and poisonous tail, which can whip out and sting their lover without warning! It is a good thing that these two signs are so strongly loyal to each other, because otherwise their union might have been fatal. But while the Taurus is open, with everything laid bare on the surface, the Scorpio is more secretive and inscrutable. They can both teach one another about their opposite views of life (direct versus complex). Another factor adding a tantalizing dimension to this union is the two signs’ mutual tendency toward jealousy. The Taurus secretly loves it when Scorpio displays their jealous nature – it means the Taurus is adored and appreciated.

"'Be still,' he said, voice harsh.
'I might not be able to control myself if you step away.'"
– Deborah Harkness
"Her courage almost failed her.
He stood watching her, silent, still, as she came to him, and through the scudding clouds the moonlight shone down all around him. He was a man of moonlight, she thought fancifully. Cold and silvered, a creature of the night and shadows.
And she was putting herself at his mercy, though she sincerely doubted he was possessed of that particular commodity."
– Anne Stuart
