gripped him like a fist.   She was so tight and so hot.   He heard her cry out his name, and he swore in English.   He didn’t want to hurt her, but he couldn’t stop.   He buried himself to the hilt. The pleasure of her body around his was something he couldn’t have imagined in his wildest dreams.   He withdrew nearly all the way and thrust again and again and again as Mari clung to him with all her strength.
    “Am I hurting you?” he managed to grit out in English.
    Mari took his face in her hands.   “In a very, very good way,” she whispered, then she pulled his face to hers, laying her lips against his.   He didn’t know what she was doing, but he allowed it.   She nipped his lower lip with her teeth.   Without thinking, he opened his mouth.   Mari thrust her tongue inside in a blatant mimicry of his thrusts into her body.   An Earth custom, he thought, but then he didn’t care.   He threaded his hands in her hair and reacted, tangling his tongue with hers in the same rhythm as his hips.  
    He felt Mari’s breathing quicken along with his own as she neared her peak.   She tried to pull her mouth away, but he held her in place, thrusting both his tongue and his uus without mercy now, out of control.   Ekkatt felt her tremors begin, vibrating all along the sensitive skin of his shaft.   Just then, Mari tore her mouth from his and screamed.   Aroused beyond measure, Ekkatt gripped her hips and thrust deep.  
    “Mari…I…Mari…I am sorry…I cannot stop…when I…when I…” He growled like a wild animal as he bit down on her neck.

    Mari’s orgasm struck like a bomb blast and she reeled backwards, tearing her mouth from Ekkatt’s and screaming out loud.   He thrust deep,   spurting his hot seed inside her.   Mari heard him say something in his own language. His voice sounded harsh and his words guttural and impossible to understand, and then he bit her neck.   His teeth were surprisingly sharp.   A part of Mari’s brain knew she should be shocked and horrified or that she should shove him away, but her body didn’t care.   Ekkatt’s action propelled her into the strongest, sweetest, most earth-shattering orgasm she’d ever experienced.  
    With shaking hands, she clutched his head and held him as he sucked at the wound he had made.   His cock pulsed inside, while his body trembled.   After a few moments Ekkatt stilled. He pulled his mouth from the side of her neck and licked the wound with his tongue.   Finally he raised his head and looked into her eyes. His own were hooded, as if he was ashamed of what he’d done.   Mari saw her blood on his lips. She noted with astonishment that he had large canines.  
    “I have marked you, Mari.   I am sorry.   It is…”
    “It is what you do when you make love,” Mari finished for him.
    He leaned his forehead against hers.   “It is a holdover from the days when we were hunters.   We tore our prey apart with our teeth.   Now we do not eat flesh…except…except for this.   When we are aroused…I cannot control…I have hurt you.”   Ekkatt began to withdraw from her.
    “No,” she said.   He stopped.   “Stay.   Just stay.   I’m not ready for you to leave me yet.”
    “Mari…”
    “No, Ekkatt.   I’m fine.   I’m…fine.   Don’t pull out.   Don’t.”
    She lifted her head and made him look at her.   “I have never experienced anything like this…like you.”   She kissed him, tasting blood.   It did not repel her.   Ekkatt’s action did not repel her.   She ran her thumb over his bottom lip, touching his canines.   They were already beginning to retract.  
    “I have never…” Ekkatt began to speak, but he stopped.
    “Never what?”
    “The men who are mated have spoken of this.   They have said that when they reach their peak with the female, with their own female, they do this.   I have never before done this. I have always resisted.   I have never tasted the blood of a
