Chapter 1: Daily Life With A Kobold

The sun hadn't yet risen when the alarm near the bed stand went off. At 4:00 AM it started playing the familiar tune "Good Old Rebel" which caused the sleeping male to stir in his sleep. "Oh I'm a good old rebel, now that's just what I am. And for this Yankee Nation, I do not give a damn. I'm glad I up and fought her, I only wish we won. I will not ask no pardon, for anything I done." Before the song could continue though he reached over and clicked it off before getting himself up. Or at least he tried to get himself up before he he finally realized that his movements were restricted. He felt an arm around his waist holding him closely to whoever was sharing his bed. He also felt a pair of breasts pressed up against his back and he felt soft breathing on the back of his neck.

Turning his head, he looked behind and sure enough his charge was sleeping peacefully while she cuddled with him. He tried to get up but her instincts immediately kicked in and she reacted by pulling him closer to her and this sent a shiver up his spine when he felt her breasts pressing up against his back even harder. It was at this point he knew there was no escape. Despite the fact that he was taller and she had such a smaller frame than he did she was physically much stronger than he was. Especially with how much she worked out on a daily basis. If it wasn't all the hard work she did with him and his family it was all the weights and her regular workout. There was no way he was gonna be able to wrestle himself out of her vice grip. It was time to wake up anyway.

"Tammy." he said getting no response yet. "Tammy Darlin it's time to get up." he said a little louder.

This time he got a response. Her dog ear twitched once and her lips curled into a sweet smile before he heard her tail wagging which was hitting against the bed. She then yawned herself awake before opening her sky blue eyes and gazing into his.

"Good morning Master." she said lovingly. "Did you sleep well?" she asked him as she shifted in place to support herself up on her elbows.

"Tammy Darlin we've talked about this." he replied. "You know we're not supposed to share a bed because it's against the rules and I've told you that you can't keep sneaking into my room like this." he told her calmly but firmly.

Her smile vanished at that. "But I like cuddling with you Master. You're so warm and cozy to sleep with." she said with a playful pout.

"I'm flattered that you feel that way but the rules are the rules and I'd really hate to see you get in trouble because of a misunderstanding." he told her.

"What's there to misunderstand?" she asked him. "I've made it no secret that I love you. Is that such a terrible thing?" she asked with big blue puppy dog eyes.

He couldn't help but blush at her declaration of love. "Nobody says that you're not aloud to have feelings for anyone Tammy Darlin." he replied. "But there are still rules in place because they're meant to protect you." he tried explaining.

"Do people think you intend to hurt me?" she asked him.

"It doesn't matter if I intend to hurt you or not Tammy." he replied. "What they're worried about is your Host taking advantage of you." he told her.

The Kobold girl only smiled again and quickly moved in to hug him. "You wouldn't be taking advantage of me Master." she said lovingly while pressing her large breasts up against his chest. "I know what it is I want from you and only you." she said softly.

Blushing and worried that she was gonna try something, he sighed with relief when he heard her stomach make a very loud growling noise which made her blush in embarrassment. So he decided to take advantage of this awkward moment and distract her.

"Right, tell you what." he said putting some space between themselves. "How about you go ahead and take your shower and get your day started and I'll make you breakfast before we head over to Ma and Pa's for work?" he suggested. "Scrambled eggs, a steak cooked medium rare, little bit charred with the bone still inside and some applewood smoked bacon?" he offered.

She smiled again and her tail started wagging happily once more. "You certainly know how to treat a girl." she said getting up and out from under his covers. He blushed again when he realized that she was wearing nothing but her white bra and panties. "I feel so spoiled sometimes because you really do make such delicious breakfasts." she said with a wink as she walked out his bedroom, purposely swaying her hips to catch his eye.

A small trickle of blood leaked out one of his nostrils when he saw her hourglass like waist and heart shaped pillow of an ass. 'Keep it under control Thomas, keep it under control.' he said inwardly as he tried shaking the images from his head as he got up to get dressed and ready for his day.

Thomas William Hayes was a twenty two year old fully grown adult human male living on his family's ranch/farm about an hour east of Richmond Virginia. He was tall, standing at five foot ten with broad shoulders and weighing about one hundred and fifty five pounds. He was caucasian with sandy blonde hair cut short both around the sides and top with cyan green eyes. He had a very decent build from years growing up and working on his family's property, taking care of the heard and other animals as well as doing other hard manual labor from working the agricultural life. But he was also working as a part time mechanic and was currently working to pay his college tuition so he can work on cars, trucks, motorcycles and such. But first, time to get his day started.

Thomas put on a pair of blue jeans from his dresser drawers and from the very bottom drawer a pair of white socks which he slipped on over his feet. From his top drawer he picked out a white tee shirt and slipped it on after discarding his old one. Walking over to his closet he picked out a plaid long sleeve shirt. It was red and black which went well with his choice in pants and he left the top button undone while rolling up the sleeves just under his elbows. Walking out his bedroom door, he grabbed both his belt and his favorite hat. It had a white top with a red brim to cover his eyes while he worked outside. Above the brim on full display was the St. Andrews Cross or Confederate Battle Flag. A proud symbol of his southern heritage and the army his forefather fought for.

As he exited his bedroom, he passed the upstairs bathroom and he could hear the shower head on full blast and he could hear Tamara singing to herself in Russian which was usually how she started her mornings. If she wasn't already trying to seduce him that is. Several years ago the world was turned upside down when it was revealed that monsters were real. As it turns out all the governments of the world in all seven continents were hiding the truth from the human race. And as it turned out, monsters were sentient beings with their own organized governments and they were living side by side with humans in their own hidden cities, towns and villages all over the world. Thomas was sixteen when the President of the United States dropped this bombshell on the U.S.A.

The same exact bombshell dropped by world leaders in every nation all over the world. For a while many people were scared of monsters when they were revealed to be real. Even with the images on the TV of the President shaking hands with a real live Succubus who was acting as the first Ambassador to the United States representing the Interspecies World Union (IWU) which was one of the largest governments on the planet. And yes, Interspecies is also something the prefer to call themselves. They actually call themselves by many different names depending on where the lived. Linimals and Interspecies being the most common names. The term Demi Humans was also tossed around but this quickly became a slur so it's use was widely discouraged.

But most peoples' opinions began to change for the better after the introduction of the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Program (ICEP) which was basically a new immigration program for Linimals to move to and integrate into human societies. Japan was actually one of the first countries to take part and it was an instant success. Followed shortly after were Australia and New Zealand. Once the U.K. got on board every other civilized country around the world started allowing Liminals to immigrate to their countries. This included the United States. So it really didn't take long at all before Thomas started seeing Linimals all over wherever he went. Interspecies students even started enrolling at his high school and his college too. He even got to meet a few.

After a while he pretty much got used to seeing them. They were everywhere in his state of Virginia and all over the U.S. Every time Thomas went to Richmond or any heavily populated city he would see dozens of them walking among the rest of the human populous. Mostly with their host families. And here's the thing, Thomas never actually expected to become a host family himself. He didn't bear in ill will towards Linimals mind you he just didn't plan on hosting any exchange students. But three and a half weeks ago she was left at his house after they met during an unexpected encounter and he's been taking care of her ever since. He stood just outside the bathroom door while he listened to her sing to herself while she bathed and preformed her morning rituals.

Tamara was a Kobold. A sub species of mammal like beast people known as Lycanthropes or Lycans for short. Upon first glance one would think they were Werewolves and while they're distantly related Kobolds aren't wolves but dogs. Tamara's breed is a Siberian Husky from the hidden valleys of Siberia in Russia. She was eighteen and had a very lovely human looking face with fair human skin, sky blues eyes and raven black hair which she let run freely down her back. She did however have two grey fury dog ears with white tips on the top of her head rather then human ears on the side. Her body also resembled a human woman's body with a very well toned hourglass figure. Her torso had the same fair human skin without a single blemish and was remarkably soft and smooth.

But that's where the human parts ended. From her upper arms on down they're covered in the same grey dog fur as her ears and at the end of each arm were large paws in place of human hands with soft padding on her palms and fingers. She filed her nails regularly because they'd get rather sharp if she let them grow out and she didn't want to hurt Thomas or anybody else. Similarly from her thighs on down her legs were covered in the same grey dog fur and instead of regular human feet she had two large dog paws. They even resembled the shape with four large toes and one very small toe further up near her heals. She even walked on the ball of her paws and her front four toes like a dog does and underneath they had the same soft padding like her hands.

And lastly just above her buttocks she had a large bushy grey dog tail with a splash of white at the end just like the tips of her canine ears. While Thomas definitely liked her and thought she was a very sweet girl, she could be a bit of a handful sometimes.

He knocked on the door and she stopped singing to respond. "Master?" he heard on the other side.

"Just double checking to make sure that the door was locked. Wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last time." he called back through the door.

He couldn't see her face obviously but he could tell by her voice that she sounded embarrassed. "Th-Th-That was an accident last time!" she shouted back. "Do you have to keep bringing it up?!" she asked from the shower.

"Relax Tammy I'm just teasing." he said smirking.

"You're so mean sometimes Master!" she shouted back and he imagined her cute little pout.

"I am not." he said smiling. "Anyway I'll stop bothering you now and start on your steak." he told her. She was quiet at first but then started singing again.

He then let her resume bathing and headed down stairs. Thomas' house was a nice sized house on his family's property. Two stories with several rooms including guest bedrooms with one of them being given to Tamara while she lived with him. (He just wished that she would actually use it instead of constantly trying to sneak into his room and sleep with him instead.) At the bottom of the stairs he turned and headed down the hallway passing the downstairs bathroom before entering the kitchen. While he worked on their breakfast his mind went back to an...incident that happened between them a week and a half ago. Shortly after he was chosen as her host and she officially moved in with him, she grew really attached to him very quickly.

But one night something happened that he would never ever forget. You see there were a set of rules in place in his household. The same rules his parents laid out for him and his siblings when he was growing up. One of these rules was in regards to privacy. If you lived in the house then naturally you were free to go where you wish. However if you shared the house then you needed to be respectful of your housemates if they wished to be alone. So one of the rules involved doors. If a door was open then you were free to enter the room even if it was occupied because this meant that nothing was going on inside that required privacy. If however the door was closed then you were required to knock first because chances were whoever was in wanted time alone.

But this was a rule that Tamara unfortunately forgot. When Thomas got up one night to take a piss he found the bathroom door was left open by a creak. Thinking nobody was he proceeded to enter and upon doing so he was frozen in his spot with his eyes becoming as wide as dinner plates because he found that Tamara was already inside doing something VERY private. She was in the middle of the bathroom floor completely naked with her back to the door and on her knees while masturbating. He couldn't peel his eyes away from the young Kobold girl who was currently massaging one of her breasts with one paw and running the other one in between her legs. He finally snapped out of it when she started whimpering in a higher pitch.

He attempted to leave but wasn't looking where he was going. This resulted in him tripping and landing hard on the ground with a loud crash which started her. Needless to say Tamara was PISSED. She quickly slung her bathrobe on and proceeded to chase him around the whole house and shouting death threats all while he kept shouting sorry over and over. Eventually she would catch up and tackle him to the ground and have him pinned to the floor while straddling his waist. He begged her not to kill him and she figured that she would offer him an ultimatum. Either he was going to take his clothes off and masturbate in front of her in an embarrassing position so she could watch or she was going to give him a beating for seeing her like that.

Figuring that it was much better to have her kick his ass than to strip and jerk himself in front of her he chose the beating. However it wasn't that simple. Tamara would first punch him in the face twice and then knock the wind out of him with a quick jab in the gut. After that she decided that beating him wasn't enough anymore. She actually pulled his boxers down and demanded that he masturbate in front of her right there and then. Each time he said no she would punch him in the thigh. Getting frustrated she finally offered another ultimatum. Either he would stroke himself off for her or she was going to go ahead and do it for him. He didn't believe she was serious and she literally told him...

"Either you're going to start choking the chicken or I'll do it for you." she told him in a low menacing growl.

Seeing no other way out of this he would just get it over with and after about five minutes he popped his cork and she seemed to be satisfied. She'd stand up, turn and walk away with a small smirk on her lovely face and that night would be one that Thomas would never forget for the rest of his life. Since that day she started really laying on the flirting. Whether they were home alone or on his parents ranch she would openly profess her love for him with the whole world bearing witness. Things got even weirder when she would sometimes walk around the house wearing nothing but her bra and panties to get his attention or proceed to force her way into the bathroom and use the toilet while he'd still be in the middle of his shower.

Now Thomas didn't want to get her into trouble or anything and he knew she liked him, but part of him was afraid that she would try and take things too far one day. And he wasn't sure of how he can or should respond to her advances or her behavior because he still wasn't entirely too familiar with her people's way of life, culture or customs. He was still getting used to being a host family himself. All these things he thought on when his cellphone vibrated in his pocket. Pulling it out he saw the number and knew who was texting him. He then turned the stove down so as not to burn the eggs, bacon or steak and headed to the front door quickly to let his guest in. Opening it up, he proceeded to greet his and Tamara's Interspecies Coordinator.

"Good morning Miss Victoria." he said with a warm smile.

To his surprise there were actually two people standing outside. The first was a woman who wore a black woman's business suit with a white dress shirt, black tie, black coat, black knee length skirt and long silk leggings with black high heel shoes. She also wore a red and black vampire's cape which was draped over her shoulders. This is because she was a Higher Vampire. Her name was Victoria Tepes and she was his and Tamara's Insterspecies Coordinator. She worked closely with the Federal Government and directly for the Interspecies World Union. Her job was to help Tamara adjust to American society and culture. Or in her case make Thomas do it and she just shows up from time to time to see how the two of them are doing.

"And a very good morning to you too my Dear." she said in her very thick feminine Romanian accent. She smiled at him while looking him in the eyes with her own crimson red ones. She had pale skin and long raven black hair and her pupils were slit which is common for creatures of the night. "It's always such a treat for me to have time and see how one of my favorite Host Families is doing." she said with a toothy smile.

Behind her was another Interspecies woman who looked to be much younger. (Most likely actually because it's literally impossible to tell with Vampires if they're either thirty or three hundred and Thomas would never ask Victoria how old she is because that would be impolite.) Upon first glance she would appear to be either a Werewolf or another Kobold with black human hair and black dog fur. She had a real gothic look to her. Pale human skin with black make up around her eyes and black lipstick too. She wore a black sleeveless shirt that had a few rips in it and showed off her cleavage. She had sleeves that left her shoulders exposed and they were different colored too with her left sleeve being black and midnight blue stripes and her right one being black and crimson red stripes.

She had on a black short skirt that stopped just above her knees and it was custom made so that her black dog tail would hang out freely behind her. She wore matching thigh high socks that were the same color of her arm sleeves but opposite. Her left one being crimson red and black stripes and her right one being midnight blue and black stripes. She also wore a pair of special custom made black leather boots that had spikes and chains on them and were open at the front so that her four dog toes would stick out. She had small chains hanging from the belt around her waist and she even had black leather bracelets with spikes on them and big black dog paws in place of hands. Her hair was cut short and spiky with two black dog ears on the top of her head.

But what really stuck out was the fact that she had three heads. She had a human looking head in the middle (with the exception of dog ears and fangs) and two black canine looking heads, one on each side. These two other head grew out from her upper back just behind her shoulders and they both had the same red eyes as the human head. One of them glared at him while the other panted happily.

"Pardon my manners." said Victoria. "Thomas, this is Circe. She's a Cerberus and one of my subordinates." she told him.

"Hey." she said finally.

"Nice to meet you." he replied. "Please come in." he said inviting them both.

Victoria smiled and nodded before finally entering. Like all of her species, she cannot enter someone's house unless she's been formally invited. So she comes in with Circe right behind her.

[Upstairs Bathroom]

Tamara had just finished her shower and was now drying off and getting dressed. Her hair was put up in the towel above her head and she just got her bra and panties on. She looked herself over in the mirror and smiled as she looked herself up and down. Tamara didn't have a very busty body but more like an athletic build which she was very proud of. She had a nice round pair of D Cup breasts which were something any girl would be proud of. Her waist was thin, her stomach was flat and well toned and her legs were nice and long. Turning around she was satisfied with her slender back and shoulders and her ass was nice and round with mildly wide hips. The moisturizer she's been using for her human skin has been working wonders.

Her skin was so soft and smooth like silk or velvet and the Interspecies fur shampoo and conditioner has given her dog fur a really healthy shine to it. All in all she was quiet satisfied with how she looked. Now she just wished that Thomas would forget about those damn rules and stop trying to avoid her advances. Thomas was the nicest guy on the whole damn planet and very handsome for a human too. And even after that one incident she only fell more in love with him. She had to take several planes from Siberia to the United States and didn't have a whole lot of time to adjust to the new time zones. And after spending over a week with him in his house and being exposed to his pheromones she was sexually starved and needed to release some built up tension.

So she sneaked out of her bedroom one night when she had trouble sleeping and thought she'd release some of that built up pent up sexual tension finally. And she could've kicked herself for not locking the bathroom door before she started pleasuring herself because she was right on the verge of a climax when Thomas tripped and spooked her. She's willing to admit that she may have overreacted but he still caught her in a very compromising position and she still had her pride. But she mostly just frustrated from being interrupted when she was so close. So she figured that she would offer him to choose his punishment and he chose the beating. She didn't really wanted to hurt him to badly, she just wanted to give him a couple of love taps.

However she still wanted to release that pressure that's been building up so she needed a mental image for the job. So she offered Thomas another option and bluffed to get what she wanted. And she was pleasantly surprised by what he had between his legs. He wasn't super huge or anything like something you'd find on a porn star but he was definitely a good size above average. She'd go to bed satisfied, polish her pearl and go to sleep. And the following morning he didn't get mad at her or call her Coordinator to have her sent home or anything. In fact, he told her over breakfast that he forgave her and that he wouldn't bring this up and put this all behind him. She honestly thought that Thomas was her dream man now and she wanted to be with him.

So she's tried getting her message through to him in her own subtle ways and she could tell by his reaction and his pheromones that he was getting what she was trying to tell him but he still wouldn't give her exactly what she wanted. And she knew why. It was those damned rules of the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Program that were in place. The "No Touchy" rules. And she thought they were stupid rules at this point. She was eighteen years old and not a child anymore. She loved Thomas and she really wanted to express that love to him and have him feel the same way towards her that she felt towards him. If she had her ways she would be in bed with Thomas every single night, mate several times before bed and have his beautiful puppies for him.

She had just finished getting dressed now and was brushing her long human hair. She was dressed in a white tee shirt and a plaid shirt just like her host's only instead of buttoning it up she'd tie it into a knot in the middle. She liked the look and it showed off her midriff to get his attention. She was also wearing a short jean skirt which was perfect for working on her new family's farm and ranch. This was something else that she really enjoyed because all this hard work she's been doing has been working wonders on her figure. It's just another reason why she loves sports too. Not only is it fun but it was a great way to keep in shape. Once she was done brushing her hair, she let it flow freely down her back and took one last glance in the mirror and smiled.

"Perfect." she said spinning once. She then sniffed a few times and her tail started wagging. "Smells like Master is finishing up with breakfast." she said as she headed out the bathroom door.

[Downstairs]

Thomas was in the kitchen and almost finished breakfast for him and Tamara. He also offered a cup of coffee to Victoria and Circe which they accepted. "So, how have things been between you and Tamara?" the Higher Vampire asked the young human male in the room.

"She's getting used to farm life very quickly. Not even a week and she's already a natural born farm girl." he answered as he placed the steaks on the plates for him and his charge.

"And how have her Social Studies Field Trips been going?" she asked before taking a sip of her coffee.

Thomas scooped out some scrambled eggs from the frying pan and placed them on his and Tamara's plates next to the steaks. "Took her out to several events to Richmond and she seems to be doing well. She does really well with other Humans we meet every time we go out and she seems to be adjusting to civilian life in America." he answered.

She smirked as she watched him placed the strips of bacon on their plates. "And how about daily life with her? Home alone?" she asked in an amused tone.

He tried his best to keep his cool while thinking of the best answer. He didn't want to get Tamara in trouble because of a misunderstanding and simply because she's been very open in expressing her feelings for him.

That was when Circe spoke up. "She's head over paws for you isn't she?" she asked from the kitchen table.

He turned around to respond to the Cerberus. "Did...she tell you that?" he asked her.

"She didn't have to." she said plainly while taking a quick sip of her coffee. "Her pheromones already spell it out for me." she said tapping her human nose with her left claw.

That was when said Kobold made her appearance by leaping out of nowhere and hugging her host from behind. "I'm done Master!" she beamed happily and energetically with her tail wagging behind her. "And you made be breakfast, how sweet of you." she said reaching over to her plate and picking out a piece of bacon and chomping down on it while squishing her cheek up against his.

"Morning Tammy Darlin." he replied trying his best not to drop the plates while she cuddled him from behind.

'Clearly her body language is a dead give away too.' Circe thought as she watched the Kobold openly flirt with her human host.

"Clearly Tamara seems to be smitten with you." said Victoria with a smirk. "I sincerely hope that neither of you have been engaging in any prohibited activities my Dear." she said watching Tamara's antics.

"I can assure you that I haven't laid a hand on her." he said once he was freed from her grasp.

"Oh Miss Victoria, a Girl can only dream." said Tamara happily before taking her seat at the table with Thomas placing her plate down before her.

"I'm just making sure. After all, Thomas is still new to the ICEP and quite ignorant of all the rules." she said which shocked him.

"Ignorant?!" he shot back. "Miss Victoria I wasn't even meant to be Tamara's Host Family you know that." he said in an irritated tone.

[Flashback]

Three and a half weeks ago Thomas was standing right outside his house with Tamara by his side and they were both talking with the Higher Vampire. "I really appreciate your assistance with finding Miss Tamara Mr. Hayes. How my agents lost her in the first place is beyond me." she told him with a satisfied smile. "And I also really appreciate your willingness to let her stay with you before I finally arrived." she said with genuine gratitude.

"Just happy I could do my part." he replied smiling while tipping his hat.

She then looked over to the Kobold girl. "It's time to go now my Dear." she told her.

Tamara was quiet and let out a sigh. "Yes Ma'am." she said looking down and somewhat disappointed.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"Well, I've only been here for one day and I really like it here." she replied. "Thomas was so nice to me when he found me and his family and friends were all so warm and accepting. I'm glad that you came but part of me really doesn't want to go." she confessed.

This gave Victoria an idea. A wonderful idea. An awful idea. Victoria had a wonderful, awful idea. "Well I wouldn't want to impose on Mr. Hayes or anything." she said bringing her hands up under her chest and gripping her elbows. "I mean, it wouldn't be fair of me to leave you here with him if he doesn't want you around." she said looking over to the young human male.

"Well it's not like I didn't enjoy having her stay with me while I had her." he said smiling and rubbing the back of his neck. "It's-" he continued before she cut him off.

"Oh, you actually don't mind her staying with you?" she asked quickly.

"I-" he said before she cut him off again.

"Alright! Then it's settled." she said before handing Tamara her new ICEP ID. "Tamara, this is your new home and Mr. Hayes will be your new Host Family." she told her.

"Really?!" she beamed with a bright smile, sparkling eyes and her tail wagging furiously behind her.

"Wait a minute!" he tried protesting before he was tackled from behind with a hug from the dog girl.

"You two have a nice day, I have to go." she said turning and walking back to her car. "Tamara my Dear please be on your best behavior for Mr. Hayes. I'll be back in a day or two to pick up your home stay applications okay?" she called back.

"Miss Victoria wait!" Thomas called out as she entered her car.

'But first, I'm going back to bed. Waking up in the middle of the day is tiring.' she thought to herself as she already drove off.

[End Flashback]

"I didn't sign up for this, you just decided to leave her with me at the spur of the moment." he told her.

"True but it seems to be the right decision." she replied finishing her cup. "I mean, she seems very happy here and you've taken excellent care of her. You don't want her to leave now while you're both doing so well do you?" she asked him.

Looking over to Tamara for a second who smiled and was wagging her tail he sighed. "Well things have been...interesting with her here that's for sure." he admitted with a smile.

"I'm glad that you feel that way." she replied before standing up. "Come along Circe, it's time to go." she told her subordinate.

"Sure." said the Cerberus girl who stood back up and made her way to the front door.

"Thank you for the coffee my Dear." she said as she followed the other agent. "And remember, I better not come back one day and learn that you too have been engaging in any prohibited activities." she said with a smirk.

'Why does she say it like that?' he asked inwardly with one of his brows raised. 'She may as well say to go ahead and break the rules just don't get caught.' he thought.

"Goodbye Miss Victoria." said Tamara who waved.

"Have a nice day Miss Victoria." said Thomas.

"Goodbye." she said before she let herself out the door.

[Outside]

Miss Victoria gets into the driver seat of her car and closes the door. Circe was sitting in the front passenger seat with her arms crossed. "You sure it's a good idea to leave her alone with him?" she asked her. "Forget having a crush, I can tell that she wants to ride him like a carousel pony until closing time and judging by his own pheromones he wants to get laid too." she told her.

"I sure they do." she replied. "But I am certain that nothing will happen between them. I have a sense for this sort of thing and Thomas is one of those few humans who can be trusted." she explained.

"I hope that you're right. Otherwise you'll have to explain why you thought it was a good idea to leave a human alone with a horny exchange student only to result in unplanned puppies." she said before putting on a pair of headphones before they both drove off.

[Inside]

As the both of them ate, Thomas noticed something off about Tamara. "You're less talkative." he said swallowing a mouthful of egg.

Tamara swallowed her steak before responding. "Master, I'm glad to be here but do you regret that Miss Victoria left me here in your care?" she asked him.

Now he was worried that he may have said too much and hurt her feelings. "No not at all." he said quickly. "I wasn't planning on becoming a Host Family and it was definitely out of the blue for Miss Victoria to leave you here but I really enjoy having you here with me." he said hoping to make it right.

She smiled brightly at that. "You see this is what I love about you so much. How kind and caring you are." she replied.

[Flashback]

Thomas was riding his horse along the border fence to his family's property in the late afternoon. It was important to have rides around the property to make sure there were no holes in the fence so that none of the animals tried getting out or unwanted guests like foxes, coyotes or even wolves tried getting in. Plus he also took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a quiet and pleasant ride along the countryside. But during this ride someone jumped out of the hedges and scared his horse. This caused him to rear back, buck and knock him off before galloping away.

"I'm so sorry." said the girl who popped out of nowhere. "I was lost and I was looking for help so when I heard you coming. I'm so sorry." she told him.

"It's alright." he said sitting up with a groan. "This is my family's ranch so he'll just head back to the stables. Just gonna be a long walk from here to get back." he said looking up. That was when he realized what she was when he got a good look at her. "Hey, you're a Linimal." he said looking at the young dog girl in front of him.

"Yes, I'm a Kobold Sir." she said smiling and offering a paw to help him up. "My name is Tamara. I'm an Interspecies Exchange Student and I've been separated from the agent who was escorting me to my Host Family." she told him while helping him to his feet.

"I see." he replied. "Well how about to stay with us, we'll give your Coordinator a call and get this all straightened out." he offered.

"Thank you so much. What's your name?" she asked.

"My names Thomas. Thomas William Hayes." he answered.

[End Flashback]

"You didn't know me or owe me anything nor did you want anything in return." she said in a really dreamy way. "And yet you offered to let me stay with you when I was lost. And when I learned that I was going to be staying with you from now on I couldn't describe in words how happy I was, it was like a dream." she said getting up from her chair and walking around towards him.

"Tammy." he said as she got closer.

"You're so kind and so generous and ever since I've come to live here with you and work on your family's farm and ranch you've been there to help me adjust to the changes every step of the way." she said before sitting in his lap and bringing her arms around his shoulders.

"T-Tammy?" he said getting nervous now.

"I know it's too soon but I don't care. I know it in the bottom of my heart that I love you Master." she said leaning in to try and get a kiss.

Just then Thomas' cell signaled that he received another text. He looked and saw it was his father. "Looks like Pa has already started working. We better finish up breakfast and get going." he told her hoping that this would convince her not to try anything yet.

She pouted at first by the moment being ruined but smiled. "Oh well, alright let's go." she said as she resumed eating her steak. "Master once again you've outdone yourself with the steak." she said smiling as she savored the delicious morsel of meat in her mouth.

"Why thank you Tammy Darlin." he replied as he took a quick sip of his coffee.

She brought her cup to her lips and took a sip of coffee too. 'Foiled again, but I'm not giving up.' she thought with a smile as she resumed eating. 'One day I will win your heart and I'm going to get those puppies.' she thought thinking of the family she dreamed of having with the man she loved.

Once the both of them had finished Thomas swung his jacket on and Tamara waited for him by the door. "You ready to go?" he asked.

"Anytime you are Master." she smiled as she put on her hat that he got her. It was a very simple but stylish slouch hat that went very well with her outfits.

"Then let's head over to Ma and Pa's." he said with a grin and they were out the door.

[Next Chapter] Daily Life With Friends And Family

[Author's Notes] I'm sorry for making you guys all wait so damn long for the reboot but these last few months have been hell on earth for me. Moving, taxes, it's a nightmare. The good news is that my nephew was born just recently and boy is he beautiful. I've also been slammed with work so I've been really busy but the good news is that I've got a new PC. FINALLY!

As you all can probably tell I've made quite a few changes from the original story and I didn't tell you about all of them in advance as I wanted to keep some of it a surprise. But one of the biggest changes were physical appearances of characters. I'm actually gonna be going with a mix of the artwork from both Okayado's Daily Life With Monster Girls and the Monster Girl Encyclopedia because why not? May as well have the best of both worlds. right?

I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me with this project and I hope to hear on what you're thoughts are in either a Review or a PM later on.

As always thank you all so much for reading my stories, I really really appreciate my readers and the critique I get from your guys.

This is Dragon1990 signing out :-)
