Camille finally woke up and recovered quickly.

Before he took her back to his place, Master Finn was told by everyone that they'd have the day to themsleves, even Fit promised to stay at JKP.

In the living room, the couple smiled at each other and kissed tenderly.

The kiss became more passionate, and Master Finn found himself being backed up to the counter but didn't really give it a second thought.

He slid his arms around Camille's waist, holding her to him.

His shark spirit begged him to claim her as his mate, but he refused, despite his shark spirit and the signals his body was being sent by her body pressed against his own and the passion of the kiss.

Camille slid her hands to his broad chest and parted her lips under his, to which he responded by doing the same, a little hesitantly.

A shiver ran down the Shark Master's spine when Camille's tongue gently probed the inside of his mouth. He returned her action, his body and shark spirit screaming to claim her completely.

Both were soon lost in the passion of the kiss and were aware of nothing else but each other.

Camille slowly slid her hands down his sides, earning a light shudder.

Master Finn couldn't fight it anymore, he wanted her almost as badly as his shark spirit, and she was sending him all the right signals.

He carefully backed her into his room and shut the door behind him, never breaking the kiss.

They undressed, and he gently took her with him onto his bed. He had her on her back, carefully positioning himself above her.

He lightly kissed her neck.

"Ever done this before?"

"Centuries ago when Dai Shi and I were younger."

He wasn't quite sure what to make or think of that so he just let it be.

"It's been a while for me, too. Last time was not long before RJ's mother died."

She smiled.

"That's fine."

He smiled back, though he was starting to get a little nervous.

"I'm ready, David."

He gulped silently and slowly lowered himself, being a gently as possible.

Camille gasped softly and held onto him as the Shark Master entered her.

"Shhh." he hissed gently by her ear.

He gently thrust deeper into her, and Camille threw her head back with a moan.

"Camille, you..."

He paused, giving another buck, earning another moan.

"... you feel so... wonderful."

He bucked again, earning another moan from his new mate.

"Oh, David, do it harder, please."

He bucked again, a little harder, and Camille moaned a little louder.

He kissed her neck, and she gently ran her fingers through his long hair.

"Harder."

He thrust harder, earning a louder moan, and he began quickening his pace.

It went on for a while longer, until they broke apart, and Master Finn collapsed beside Camille on the bed, a little sweaty, out of breath, and trembling.

"When you're older, that really takes a lot out of you." he panted.

Then it hit him like a load of bricks. They had just done what was meant for married couples.

The Shark Master smacked himself in the forehead.

"I am such an idiot."

"Why? What's wrong?"

He propped himself up on his arm and looked at her.

"What we did was not meant to be done outside of marriage. I know that, but I did it anyway."

He gave a frustrated sigh. Then he felt Camille touch his cheek and looked at her.

"No one will know it was outside of marriage, not if we get married."

Master Finn swore his heart stopped for a few seconds. He loved her, but he had never thought about marrying her. He wasn't sure he was ready or even wanted to do that again.

His mind raced as he pondered this hard choice he had.
