Kara felt like preening when Hallbjorn called her female again. She thought she saw regret in his eyes, and Kara wanted to soothe him. She regretted nothing. The irritation of her throat was nothing compared to the pleasure he gave her. Kara knew that Hallbjorn would never harm her. To please him by making herself better, she would gladly drink his blood.<br/><br/>Her brow smoothed, and she smiled with pleasure when he told her she was a very good girl. Hallbjorn's offer made it incredibly difficult to decide. She nibbled her lower lip, then told him softly, “I want to touch you, and I want to put my mouth on you.” Kara wasn't sure if that would be too much for his ironclad control. If he told her that was something she could not have, then she would refrain. All bets were off though, after she reached her full immortality.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn's offer to make her a very happy girl sent her thoughts whirling, because she was wondering what more he could do to her. The decision warring within her showed on her face. The urge to be bad was very strong, but if she could be patient for a while longer, she would please him with her choice, and discover what he had planned for her. Then she would be able to touch him.<br/><br/>“I'll be good.” She smiled softly, but that smile turned impish as she added, “For now.”<br/><br/>Kara moved up enough so that she brush her lips over his throat. Her nails dug lightly into his chest as she whispered, “Never regret making me feel so wonderful, Hallbjorn.” This time, Kara did not give him a warning, other then the feel of her lips on his neck. Her fangs sunk slowly into his flesh.<br/><br/>She thought that if she could limit herself to one or two sips, it would be too fast for her body to find release. Hallbjorn's blood was too potent though. Kara could not relegate herself to just a sip or two. She pulled several mouthfuls from him, and groaned between each swallow.<br/><br/>When her release came, it shuddered through her and stole the last of her strength. Kara licked his wound, then kissed it softly. She nestled her face against his neck and sighed with delight. “My throat feels much better now.” Kara's voice was no longer scratchy and had returned to its smoothness.<br/><br/>Her eyes felt heavy, and she thought perhaps just a small nap would suffice. Kara fell into a light sleep as Hallbjorn cradled her in his arms. A hour later she woke, after a dreamless sleep, and felt rejuvenated. Her arms lifted over her head and she stretched her body lazily, while enjoying how it caused her breasts to slide against Hallbjorn's chest.
