The way Hallbjorn's eyes grew even more stormy when she told him she loved him, and the depth of the emotion in his voice when he returned her love, made Kara want to hold onto him for eternity and never let him go. What they shared was so much more powerful than anything she could have ever imagined. It was no wonder she'd never responded to any man before him. Hallbjorn was the other half of Kara's soul.<br/><br/>As she teased his throat, Hallbjorn's hands on her behind made her murmur with pleasure. His massage made her feel boneless while at the same time what they were about to share had her feeling powerful. Kara didn't understand how her body could feel both weak and strong, it seemed so incongruous. But being with Hallbjorn was unlocking all kinds of feelings in her that she delighted in exploring.<br/><br/>His groan electrified Kara, because she felt more sure of what she was doing. It let her know that Hallbjorn was enjoying this as much as she was. She wanted to hear more sounds like that coming from him. Kara reveled in the fact that she could tempt her berserker with the ironclad control.<br/><br/>When his fingers stroked between her cheeks, she gasped at how wickedly good that felt. Then Hallbjorn's fingers teased her sex, and Kara whimpered. He'd already given her a powerful release this morning, but Kara felt that she could never get enough of her Hallbjorn.<br/><br/>He let her know that it was time, and rather then striking out and sinking her fangs into his throat right away, Kara released her grip on his hair. One arm slid around his neck, so that she could hold him in place. Her other hand braced on his shoulder. Kara lifted herself lightly to get a better angle, and the movement caused her body to slide along his deliciously.<br/><br/>She pressed a tender kiss right over his pulsing artery. Kara would have lavished Hallbjorn in kisses and affection right then for what he was giving her, but her fangs had fully extended and thirst gripped her. She parted her lips as she closed her eyes, and then as gently as she could, Kara sank her fangs into Hallbjorn's throat, at precisely where his artery pulsed.<br/><br/>His thick life's blood welled up in her mouth, tasting better then anything. It was hot in her mouth, and after she took her first swallow, a low growl of pleasure came from deep inside of her. Kara's grip on Hallbjorn tightened, with a peek of her immortal strength showing itself. Then she drew more blood into her mouth, and her body trembled with how right it felt, how perfect Hallbjorn tasted, and how much she loved him.<br/><br/>With no warning, a powerful orgasm stole through her, making Kara feel like her veins were filled with lightning and that her blood was boiling. She writhed against his chest, whimpering between each draw of blood, while each swallow seemed to prolong her release. Her toes curled, and her nails dug into his skin. Kara's small form shook from the intensity of her release. It felt as if the earth shifted beneath her feet. She knew then that she would never drink from another, that no blood would ever be as satisfying as his.<br/><br/>It came to the point where Kara's body had nothing left to give. She felt satiated and full, and so amazingly alive. Her fangs shortened, but she still kept her lips sealed on Hallbjorn's flesh. Kara soothingly licked the two small puncture marks, reveling in the last bits of his blood on her tongue, but also needing to assuage the pain he might have felt.<br/><br/>She kissed his punctured flesh softly, then pulled back so she could look into his eyes. Even though her eyes still glowed amber, her expression was tender. She looked to see if he was in pain from what they shared, or if he felt weakened from blood loss, but he did not seem to have been affected negatively. Kara's hands moved to Hallbjorn's cheeks, and she traced her fingertips along his cheekbones, then his jaw, before her hands came to rest on his chest.<br/><br/>Kara smiled with content as she said, “You taste like sunshine, and growing things, but also a hint of snow, and a hint of the ocean.” She had never seen snow, nor the ocean, and Kara did not know how she recognized these things in Hallbjorn, but it was unmistakable. There was also this new feeling from her feeding that stole into every cell of Kara's body. She felt a connection to Hallbjorn, stronger then what they shared before. It felt unbreakable, and Kara knew that for the rest of her life, Kara would be tied to Hallbjorn, and only him.
