It's late at night, long into the hour of the wolf and Shepard is counting Kelly's scars. It's only fair, she was trying to catalogue all of his earlier. The attempt had failed, as had the previous attempts, because the light fluttery kisses, the long slow licks and the constant challenging stare of her mischievous green eyes made him so damn hard that by the time she'd reached half way down his chest he had to pull her up and fuck her lest he cum on the spot.

Not that Kelly complained about being interrupted in her itemizing of his scars. Her response was to energetically and enthusiastically fuck him back, quickly reaching her own orgasm. Afterwards she'd lie sprawled across him, almost purring with satisfaction.

It's great but for once he'd like to make Kelly squirm. The problem so far is that she has very few scars, some small short ones on her hands but few others. Till he spots a roundish scar on the inside of her right arm that looks almost like...

"Is that a bite mark?" he asks in surprise. It appears to be, with differentiated teeth marks.

Kelly stirs, opens her eyes and glances at her arm

"What? Oh, yeah, It's a bite mark"

"Another memento from your days as public clinic psychologist?" he nods to her left arm where her most impressive scar resides, a long twisted thin white line from her wrist to her elbow, a gift from a Red Sand addicts psychotic episode.

"No, that's from my sister, Lisa" she snorts.

"Your sister?" It makes Shepard's pretty glad he's an only child.

"Yeah, I was about twelve, she was fourteen. She had a serious crush on a guy at school, Mikhail Singh. At the same time she'd been complaining about tooth aches for a while so Dad had taken her to the dentist. Turns out she'd developed an overbite and the only way to correct it was braces."

"So, bad teeth are a Chambers trait? Did she sign up for Cerberus as well?" He still hasn't managed to get over that.

Kelly shoots him a dirty look and continues the story "She was devastated, moping and wailing about how her life was ruined and that Mikhail would never look at her, that it was the end of the world. Teenage problems" she gets a distant look in her eyes, the sort he's seen when she's thinking about the Collector base.

"So, what happened?" he prompts before the horrific memories can over take her.

"Oh, Mum did some checking and it turns out that there was some fancy partial skeletal braces that were hard to spot unless you knew that they where there. She was ecstatic. Right up until the point where I told her that I'd already spammed all her friends on her EGoSpot page with "Lisa needs braces, Lisa needs braces, metal mouth Lisa wants to suck Mikhail's face off!' that sort of thing."

"Not a very nice thing to do"

Kelly shrugged "I was twelve, I thought it was funny. She didn't, I told her to bite me, if she could with her weird teeth"

"And she bit you." finished Shepard.

Kelly nodded, "Amongst other things, it was our first and only physical fight. Mum and Dad where horrified when they saw what she had done."

"How long was she grounded for?"

"Two months, I got off with one."

"Was she sorry?" asked Shepard.

"Yeah very, though I've never let her live it down. When she started the Dog Shelter I bought her one of those "Beware Dog may bite" signs and replaced Dog with Vet."

Shepard grabs hold of Kelly's arm and kisses the scar "Don't its ticklish." Kelly tries to draw back her arm as he starts to flick and lick the scar in earnest, a smile on his face as Kelly dissolves in to giggles. He's going to have to thank Lisa for biting her younger sister.
