(Continued from \'Walkies\')Kerr took his time strolling to his apartment with his new guest,
soon-to-be conquestenjoying the night air and the conversation about polite nothings. He\'d
especially liked the way Ichabod\'s heart had continued to pound or leapt whenever their linked hands shifted. The vampire had taken to brushing the backs of his fingers lightly down the brunette\'s neck or grasping him by the nape, just to hint about what was to come and cause further pulse stutters, smiling knowingly to himself whenever the effect he\'d been aiming for materialised.
Unfortunately, he learned that Ichabod was a smoker on the walk home, but he was determined that it wouldn\'t completely ruin their night (he
did feel the need to point out that there was no smoking in his apartment though, just to be on the safe side), so he ignored it.
The night was still young by the time they walked into Kerr\'s apartment. He flipped on switches that bled soft light into his normally-dark place and stepped to the side to hang his keys up, once the door was locked. This action allowed Ichabod time to have a look around the expansive main room, letting him take in the large kitchen to their immediate left, the sunken lounge sprawled directly ahead and the elegant dining section in the far left corner at his leisure. The closed-in corridor between the elevator and here sported just two opposing doors and a far-distant window, so there had been no reason to linger out there.
Kerr didn\'t wish to rush the mortal through the darkened doorway standing anonymously between his dining suite and kitchen (well, he
did really, but he had better manners than that), so he paused at Ichabod\'s side, smiling down at him and tracing light circles in the small of his back with his fingertips. "Are you hungry or thirsty at all? I
do have some normal food, if so." Kerr had shopped especially for the occasion, in fact, having made up his mind the night before. He didn\'t want anything like dizzy spells or undernourishment to ruin the potential for a long, satisfying feed, so he\'d stocked up on everything from steak to vegetables to sweets and juices that would provide instant sugar supplements. He felt he was well prepared to meet any mortal\'s demands.
As he stared down at Ichabod, he found he couldn\'t stop staring at his lips. His mind was stammering around the fact that they hadn\'t even kissed yet and he was luxuriating in the tension that that knowledge was building in him. Prolonging the moment seemed to be almost as much fun as experiencing them (he supposed), which made him feel rather predatory and sexy all at once. Leaping on his visitor would be even more gauche than dragging him down the hallway to his bedroom, but
oh, how his mind was loving following a variety of scenarios that had all this culminating in some dizzyingly fast climaxes.
