Hallbjorn moved so silently that she didn't even know he was awake until after he went into the bathroom. She looked at the empty chair, then at the bathroom door before chuckling softly. He must not be a 'morning' person, since he hadn't said a thing. Her parents didn't come alive until they had their morning coffee, so she didn't take any offense.<br/><br/>Her soft laughter didn't last for long, because she soon hearing the shower running. That lead Kara to thinking about the big man being naked and under the spray of water. Her libido came alive with gusto, and Kara had to force her thoughts away from her protector naked. Her body had never been this responsive to anyone, ever. It chose one hell of a time to start making demands.<br/><br/>When he came out of the bathroom, she kept her gaze fixed on her list of places to see along the way. She refused to look up when she heard the curtains being drawn back, and especially when she felt him move closer to her. Kara could could not ignore his presence over her shoulder, and knew he had to be looking at the list she made. It spoke volumes about his patience when he didn't immediately tell her no, not even to the stop she marked for the world's biggest ball of yarn.<br/><br/>Kara smiled when he mentioned someplace nice to eat. Though she did not look up just yet. The mirror before her would make it so easy to sneak a peek, but she had to try and get her hormones under control.<br/><br/>“There is a steakhouse a few blocks away from here.” She answered, then froze when he placed his hand on the desk.  His scent, the one that was unique to him, had her toes curling. The hint of blood only served to make him smell more delicious. She was already walking on a razor's edge. Then his long hair brushed along her upper arm. Kara gasped as electricity felt like it was shooting through her.<br/><br/>The lamp light on the desk flickered, causing her to look up at it. But then her gaze was drawn to Hallbjorn, with all of that wet, glorious hair hanging down to his waist. His shirt clung to him like a second skin. If she thought him attractive before, now he was devastating. The flash of her eyes glowing was the only thing that kept her in her chair.<br/><br/>Kara looked back down at her pad of paper as if it held the secret to life. There was no disguising her voice, which sounded entirely too sultry for her liking. “I can be ready in a few minutes. Though you might want to change your clothes. There's still blood on them. On the way, perhaps you can tell me more about the lore. If you please.”<br/>
