Hallbjorn lay in bed after Kara scrambled out. He watched her react to the realization that she could go out in the sun. It was something that he wanted to have them try, once she was immortal - he had not wanted to risk her being burned by the sun and having to carry a scar for the rest of her life. When she at last turned back to him, that small smile was there waiting for her. He was glad for her and pleased that the day was not lost to her forever when it was so obvious how much she enjoyed it.<br/><br/>He got up when she went into the bathroom, trundling along after her. There was no hurry to his motions because he got to see something wonderful in Kara at every moment this morning. The big man did not want to rush and risk going so quickly that he missed something else about her that he could treasure forever.<br/><br/>When he saw how much she liked this bath, he resolved to have one built in his home. Or to buy a house that already one. Or both. It was difficult to truly decide as he watched her start to draw the bath. He was amused that she began to pour in a generous amount of the bubble bath, taking a moment to see them sud up as the tub filled with water.<br/><br/>He sensed her attention on him and gave her his full attention. Granted she had always held almost his complete attention - a fraction only had gone to observing the contents of the tub - but there was no division as he watched her disrobe in front of him. His eyes became filled with a tempest so furious that it deserved its own name. His nostrils flared at the sight of her topless. It was different now, seeing her undress in this way then when he had undressed her to get ready for bed. There was a deliberate baring of her body here that added a dimension to her nudity.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn's breathing deepened just a touch, and his heartbeat increased slightly but notably. If she had her full senses she would be able to tell how his heart at first skipped a beat and then pounded just slightly more furiously. It took everything that Hallbjorn had to stay where he was and to keep his arms by his sides. It was very exciting, and it only got worse when Kara bent to remove her panties. Hallbjorn liked the way he did it. He liked that this was a new experience for her and for them both.<br/><br/>He saw how she bit her lower lip as she straightened and could tell she was resisting the urge to cover herself. That was more seductive than anything a nymph, nereid, or succubus could have done as far as Hallbjorn was concerned.<br/><br/>"No." Hallbjorn said to her shy question. The way she toed the marble shyly was intoxicating. His voice was thicker than normal and there was extra tension to his shoulders as he walked towards Kara. He took her chin with a curled forefinger beneath it and a thumb upon it, tilting her head up to him so that she could see the raging tempest in his eyes. He dared not let it show anywhere else in his body, but in his eyes she could see the fullness of what the mere sight of her body did to him. If he were any other male, right now, she would be in danger from him. The desire to take her would be more than a male less concerned with self-control could master, and a wanton male in the throes claiming a mortal mate was a tale that could only end in tragedy.<br/><br/>"You look perfect, Kara." Hallbjorn told her, and his voice was very dark and very dangerous. Then he withdrew his hand, as though he no longer trusted himself to touch her. He went to the waist band of his boxers, and paused, as if he thought he could not trust himself if he did not have the garment in place. But his mate was bare before him and he would not deny her the sight of him. Of all of him.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn pushed the boxers down and they pooled around his ankles. He stepped out of them and kicked them aside to stand nude in front of Kara. The large man stepped back so that she could look her fill. The muscles of his thighs led up to his groin. And there he was even larger than one might have thought even for a male of his size: Hallbjorn's flaccid shaft lay thick and long over a large sac that held a pair of very large testicles. It was a size and length that would have been intimidating even if it were his penis fully erect, but this was it at peace. It was not just the strength of him that he worried about: Hallbjorn knew he would grow much larger if he allowed himself to be aroused, much thicker than a can of soda. It would be difficult for Kara to accommodate - if she could at all - even with an immortal body.<br/><br/>He gave her some moments to take that in, and then he turned around slowly for her. Hallbjorn reached a hand up and pulled his hair away from his back and over his shoulder, to give Kara an uninhibited view of his back and backside. His back was broad and muscular, the fair skin darkened by the two ravens in flight. They looked like they belonged there and that it would somehow be wrong if they were absent. His ass in the flesh was much nicer than covered in fabric. It was taut, muscular, and everything a woman could desire to sink her nails or teeth into. The tall man gave her time to soak in that sight as well before turning back to her.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn did not speak, but he waited silently for her evaluation of his body as well.
