It looks like a medieval style marriage, Knight to Lady, as arranged by Mab, the knight's queen. Therefore, there won't be any latex, at least not until a heir is conceived, cementing the relationship between the two nations. That said, it'd be foolish to assume that Mab would let her knight - who she invested quite a few years in shaping, and who commands a significant amount of Winter power- become a slave to anyone (else), even an ally.
In Changes, Lea put the demon part of Susan an Martin to sleep. It's not much of a stretch to say that Mab could teach Harry a similar technique, or at least nudge him to obtain the knowledge for himself. This way they'd be able to consumate their marriage, and everybody wins.
I kinda like Lara and Harry as a match. They've always had a bit of chemistry.

The question was tongue in cheek. Like a lot of things around here it took on a life of it's own. Which has been kinda fun. Whatever Mab can do Lea is described as the Vampire Muse in one of the books. Butcher is pretty good so if he's on the day he writes it it should be interesting.

I don't think there would have been a chance if it had even gotten a taste. I think that fact that her lips blistered so quickly, Harry was protected and she couldn't feed. I think there is a fine line, yes, in prep for the feeding the vamp gives pleasure, that makes the victim vulnerable. It was close, but Harry was still fighting her, poor little puppy Mouse was beside himself.. Had he been full grown Inari would have ended up the victim.

Agreed that the Hunger didn't get fully going, and that allowed Inari to kill it when she and her true love, Gawain Commando finally consummated their relationship.
Mr. Mouse:
Looking through Bigfoot on Campus again just now, I think by Dresden Files standards Connie and Irwin demonstrate true love for each other, but ... are not triggering the burn response in Connie. Perhaps without the corruption of her soul (and her Hunger) by the death of her first lover she won't ever have that reaction.

Or more likely since her first "victim" was her true love, it simply burned out the Hunger. If I remember correctly that is what Thomas and Lara were hoping for with Inari. That is why Lord Raith is such a turd, he explains none of this to his children, puts them in a compromised position when the Hunger is mature enough to begin to feed. Without realizing what is happening to them, they feed until the victim dies. The Hunger is then strong enough to take over and the parasitic symbiotic relationship begins, the host no longer has the option not to feed.

In that case, I'd suggest that Harry picks up a decent supply of Rohypnol. Problem solved :D
