Kara stretched out on the bed and smiled as Hallbjorn removed her high heels. She murmured a soft acknowledgment when he said he would be right back. Kara felt deliciously boneless and was happy to remain in bed. Though when he left the room, she felt a tinge of panic as memories of those awful days in Janna came back to her.<br/><br/>But then she heard Hallbjorn stomping around, and that reassurance that he was with her helped push the panic away. Kara sat up on the bed, with only a slight hiss from her burning bottom. She grabbed Hallbjorn's pillow and hugged it to her body while she waited for her mate to return.<br/><br/>Kara grinned when she saw what Hallbjorn had brought back. She waited patiently as he spooned her out some of her ice cream, and when he handed it to her, she smiled happily, “Thank you.”<br/><br/>She tasted her first bite, and her eyes closed as she savored the taste of white chocolate and peanut butter cups. Kara looked at Hallbjorn and thought on what he said. “I don't think I fed last night, and I didn't have any problems. I guess we'll eventually figure it out.”<br/><br/>Kara didn't rush her ice cream, but it still vanished far too soon. She stood and set the pillow back on the bed before putting the bowl on the night stand. Moving in front of Hallbjorn, she worked her way between his legs. Love and affection showed in her eyes as she looked into his. Her fingers gently brushed his hair back from his neck and over his shoulders.<br/><br/>She didn't go for his throat right away. Instead she gave into her urge to kiss him. It was a tender kiss that tasted of her ice cream, and when she pulled away her fingertips trailed over his cheeks and along his jaw.<br/><br/>Kara leaned in to Hallbjorn and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She delicately kissed the flesh of his neck, then let her fangs scrape teasingly along his skin. When her fangs did sink in, it was slow and as gentle as she could make it. The first taste of his blood on her tongue made Kara's body tremble as a delicious release flowed through her. She drew on his blood, and swallowed it down. Her body pressed tightly against his as she drank from him, and after each swallow she gave a little groan of delight.
