Hallbjorn returned her kiss in kind. His lips were fully upon hers and they parted, his tongue teasing along the seam of her mouth. His tongue stole into her mouth and his tongue stroked hers. His hands stroked Kara's back in long, smooth, and sure movements. It was a good, true, loving kiss. He let it go on for a long time, just the pair of them massaging each other's lips with their own, their tongues coiling and dancing to a primal, erotic beat made up of their hearts so much in love for each other. When he pulled away from her his eyes were filled with grey. His heart beat slightly faster and his breathing was deepened. Then he carried her out of the vault, sealing it behind him.<br/><br/>The large man carried Kara back up to his bedroom, and there he set her down. Though he was sure she was loathe to let him go, he gently broke her grasp from him and had her sit at the edge of his bed. Hallbjorn stroked Kara's cheek with the back of his curled fingers, brushing her smooth skin in affectionate circles. Then he moved to her top and slowly raised up and pulled it free from her body, letting it fall to the floor after he took it off of her. The man traced the strap of her bra over one shoulder for a moment, trailing the tip of his finger up and over, up and over as he looked at the way the garment cupped her breasts and taking the time to appreciate how his ring looked nestled between her breasts. Then he moved his hands behind her and deftly unclasped her bra, and slowly removed it, peeling it away from her with teasing slowness.<br/><br/>"You cannot touch me. I do not permit it." Hallbjorn commanded Kara, his gaze taken up fully with his woman's breasts. He watched them rise and fall with her breathing but did not touch them.<br/><br/>Yet.<br/><br/>"Perhaps if you are a good girl I will permit you touch me in the shower after. But<em>only</em>if you are good."<br/><br/>He urged her to lie back with a gentle hand at her shoulder, and then he went for her shorts. He unbuttoned and unzipped them slowly and surely. His large hands lifted her hips and he slid her shorts off of her in a single long, smooth motion that had the tips of his fingers tracing along her hips, over her thighs, and then down along her knees. Hallbjorn's gaze went to her panties, and his big hand slowly stroked over her mound and then the lips of her sex. He gave her nether lips a dozen slow, teasing strokes before he hooked a finger through the fabric and pulled the garment down her body in a languid pace. Her panties were eventually to join the rest of Kara's clothing on the floor, and Hallbjorn looked over Kara's body with an appreciation for it that only a man in love could give.<br/><br/>His hands went to her wrists, and Hallbjorn placed them over Kara's head, crossing them there. "You must keep your hands here, female." Hallbjorn told her in a deep, commanding tone, finally meeting her eyes once more. Once he was sure he understood, he released her wrists and his hands moved to cup her breasts, softly and gently massaging them at first. If she moved her hands at all, he would stop until they returned where he bid her keep them. His efforts would only resume once she complied with him.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn knelt at the side of the bed, leaning his huge, iron-like body over Kara's. He kissed her collar bone and down over her chest, coming to her right breast first. His hand yield to his mouth and he licked a long, winding circle until he came to the areola. Then his tongue lapped over it and Kara's nipple, leaving the flesh moist with his saliva. Hallbjorn blew over it gently, and then took her nipple into his mouth. He suckled gently and first, and then more firmly. As the flesh stiffened in his mouth he ran the edge of his teeth over it without biting down, simply teasing the hardness of his teeth after the softness of his tongue. He granted her left breast the same attention, kissing across to it from the right. He gently bit at the skin between them as he went. Nothing hard enough to mark her, but hard enough to excite.<br/><br/>He spent a long time at her chest, alternating attention between both sweet mounds. The attention he showed was not an act of a man who found her body wanting. There was, as always, a sense that he held back, but it was familiar. Once she became immortal she could know him without it, and he could let his passion fully unfurl.<br/><br/>When he moved to kiss a trail down her stomach it was not so much because he was satisfied of her breasts, but because his hunger for other parts of her needed to be addressed. But as he kissed down her stomach Hallbjorn moved at a controlled pace. Her midsection benefited from his control - if he were less in control of himself he might have ignored that part of her and fallen on her sex with wild abandon. His hands moved from her breasts and to her sides, trailing down in time with his mouth. When he kissed Kara's mound, Hallbjorn's hands were at her hips and he moved to part her legs to take the place he desired between them. When he had that place and she was open and exposed to him, Hallbjorn moved his hands to Kara's hips to ensure that she would not move.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn's eyes flicked up along Kara's body briefly, giving her a smouldering, possessive look. He treasured her more than anything he possessed. All of the wealth that was stored in the basement meant nothing if he could not have her. Then his eyes fell back to her sex, and his tongue escaped his mouth to lick from the base of her sex to her clit in one slow lick. Hallbjorn's tongue was large enough that it was not as long a lick as he wished, but the man drew it out as much as he could to torment his mate. Again and again he licked her sex with languid strokes of his broad tongue, and his hands at her hips ensured that she would be able to do nothing but endure until he chose otherwise.<br/><br/>He did relent, eventually, moving his mouth up to suckle on her clit. One of his hands moved from a hip to tease at her sex, and he worked the tip of his forefinger into her tight sheathe gently and slowly. He did not penetrate her deeply, wanting to save her maidenhead for when they could make love for the first time. But he worked what he could in and out of her body while he sucked on her clit. At first gently, but growing more intense. And as with her nipples, he alternated sucking with teasing strokes of his teeth.
