Hallbjorn hugged Kara back, his arms moving around her waist while they embraced. He looked at the picture that Kara printed out. It seemed like a long time ago that it was taken. He kissed her and he knew that he would break her heart.<br/><br/>"You are nothing like any of the women I have ever met." Hallbjorn told Kara and he meant it as a positive thing. He found the valkyries generally to be vapid creatures, the nymphs too inconstant. The Lykae females were all set against him, and demonesses did not look often outside their own kind while males attempted them. "You are so sweet. Every time you cried out for me I could not resist taking care of you. Other Lore women would not have done so." He kissed Kara's lips, and it was tender and loving.<br/><br/>"It means a lot to me to be able to take care of you. It makes me feel needed." Hallbjorn said to her after the long, tender kiss of love ended. "I know that you want me, but that there is more than just want is important to me."<br/><br/>Hallbjorn had Kara sit down properly. "Print some more pictures." He told her, and sat down on the floor in front of her. Hallbjorn took one of Kara's aching feet in his hands and began massage and rub it. His touch was just right to soothe the ache that she felt, and he treated both feet to a relaxing rub. The big man took his time and worked tirelessly, enjoying the act quietly while Kara looked through images and printed more and did other things with her lap top.<br/><br/>When he was done, his hands traveled along her ankle and calf. Hallbjorn rested his face against her knee, and then he got up slowly and easily. His hands moved off of her leg and he looked at the screen of her lap top for a moment.<br/><br/>"I want to have the picture I took of your ring in the bedroom." Hallbjorn told Kara. He moved to stand behind her. His hands collected her hair and pulled it back in a single strand, then his hands moved to rest upon her shoulders. His touch was not heavy, but at the same time it was strong and sure.
