"The required refractory period for Vulcans is rather shorter than that required by humans."
And Spock was very young.
But his body's interest was an automatic thing - Spock himself was more interested in what Pike would choose.
Others would think it any permanent marking was a confirmation - that Spock was Pike's slave. But the belief would benefit them both. Others would not dare to attempt to claim Spock (he ignored the image of watchful hazel eyes that sprang to mind) if they believed him to be Pike's property; nor would they realize what Spock truly was, underestimating him as another slave broken to leash and whip.
He did not offer it lightly. And the excitement working its way through him had little to do with the practical reasons.
