Kara was happy to be nestled in Hallbjorn's arms as he carried her down the stairs and to the kitchen. Her arms slipped around his neck and she leaned up press her lips against his throat, then trails kisses along his jaw. Kara loved the way his hair draped over her, washing her in the scent that was purely Hallbjorn. Before he set her down in one of the chairs, she whispered into his ear, “I missed you so much, Hallbjorn.”<br/><br/>She watched him move about the kitchen with a smile on her lips, and then began to laugh when he cut a quarter of the pie for her. “If that is a challenge, I gladly accept.” Kara's laughter was perhaps not as carefree as it had been before going to Janna, but she knew it would not stay like that forever. With Hallbjorn, the fear and pain of the last few days were already fading.<br/><br/>Kara had just picked up her fork when Hallbjorn lifted her from the chair. She giggled as he took her seat, then settled on his lap. Kara didn't attack her pie right away, because she wanted to take a moment and savor the feel of his strong arms wrapped around her, and the heat of him against her back.<br/><br/>When Hallbjorn offered his blood, Kara's eyes instantly turned amber. She breathed a little faster as he kissed right beneath her ear. “I would like that very much.” Kara wanted to feed from him, and have his blood erase Kaseem's. But what had her eyes glowing and her breath quickening was the thought of what would happen when she took his blood. Kara knew she'd find her release in the act, and it instantly made her realize that she was truly immortal now. She and Hallbjorn could make love. Kara was caught between not wanting to rush anything and needing to finally have him inside of her.<br/><br/>After a moment she began to eat her pie, and tried to distract herself from those thoughts by enjoying the taste of it. It did taste wonderful, even after three days in the fridge. Kara was sure that she could have eaten the huge slice Hallbjorn had given her, but she wanted to share it with him.<br/><br/>She wiggled around on his lap until her legs draped over to one side, then grinned at him as she held up a bit of pie on her fork. As he ate it, her eyes lingered on his lips, causing her to lick her own lips. Kara began to eat more of her pie, though shared a number of bites with Hallbjorn,  using that time to try and get control of her body.<br/><br/>“I'd like to stay home today with you, Hallbjorn.” She relayed to him softly after finishing her last bite. “I just want to stay here, with you, where its safe and we don't have to deal with anything.”<br/><br/>Kara knew that Hallbjorn would not deny her. Even though she did not want to be a princess, he treated her like one, and she loved that about him.<br/><br/>After pushing away her plate, she looked her arms around his neck and turned on his lap so that she could straddle him. The need for him was still there, just as it would always be. Kara did not want to hide anything she felt for him. She wanted him to know that she would always want him.<br/><br/>Her fingers sifted through his long hair and pushed it over his shoulders as she bared his throat. Instead of going right for his strong vein, Kara leaned in and pressed a tender kiss to his lips. One of her arms slipped around his neck with her hand tilting his head slightly to the side. Kara looked into his eyes for a long moment as she savored being so close to him again.<br/><br/>With her lips parted, her fangs slowly extended. Kara lowered her mouth to his throat, and felt the strong pulse of his blood. Her other hand rested on his shoulder to brace herself. She teased him by scraping her fangs along his throat and right over the pulsing beat of his heart. Kara's tongue soothed his flesh, and then her fangs teased him again. She kept teasing him in such a manner until she could not take it any longer.<br/><br/>Her fangs sank into his throat, and Hallbjorn's hot blood filled her mouth. Kara groaned with pleasure right before swallowing. She drew more blood from him and sucked down each mouthful. With each swallow, her body became more flushed with need. Her nipples turned hard as they pressed against his chest, and the folds of her sex grew slick and plump.<br/><br/>Then Kara's release came, and she shattered against him. Her cries were muffled against his throat between each swallow and her hips bucked mindlessly. When her body calmed down from her orgasm, Kara licked where her fangs had sunk into him, then kissed his wound before nuzzling where his shoulder met his neck.<br/>
