…in the last seconds before orgasm Kassad tries to pull away…his hands on her throat, pressing…she clings like a leech, a lamprey ready to drain him…they roll against dead bodies… …her eyes like red jewels, blazing with a mad heat like that which fills his aching testicles, expanding like a flame, spilling over… …Kassad slams both hands against the soil, lifts himself away from her…from it…his strength insane but not enough as terrible gravities press them together…sucking like a lamprey’s mouth as he threatens to explode, looks in her eyes…the death of worlds…the death of worlds!
