Kenzie got up and headed into the kitchen. She took out a box of crackers removing a package from it. She then made her way back into the bedroom. It was still early in the morning, but already she was feeding her pet for the second time.
Lifting him, at least she thought it was a boy. She would have to ask Viper when he came back. Kenzie placed him on her lap and pulled one of the crackers from the sleeve. She crumbled it in her hand and held it out to the animal. The food was eaten quickly, and she repeated the process until the entire sleeve was almost gone.
Placing the animal back inside its makeshift bed, Kenzie headed back into the kitchen. She put away the rest of the crackers before washing her hands. She'd just sat on the couch when Viper came out of his trophy room. He had gotten up long before she had.
She watched as he walked into the kitchen and fixed himself something to drink. Grabbing the package of gum she left on the table, she put a piece into her mouth.
"Is the animal a male or female?" She questioned when Viper came to sit beside her.
"Female."
Kenzie nodded thinking of suitable pet names. "What were you doing this morning?" She asked after a few minutes.
"I was running several tests." Viper stated before bringing his cup up to take a drink.
Silence fell over them as Kenzie continued to think of pet names. She had all but zoned out when she heard a soft noise coming from the bedroom. It sounded it like a mixture of dog whimpers and baby coos.
Kenzie stood and headed in that direction. When the door slid open she found her pet with her front legs over the side of the tub. Lifting her, Kenzie took her into the living room and reclaimed her seat on the couch with the animal on her lap. She watched as the animal stood in her lap as its mane sagged.
"You should take it into the lavatory." Viper informed her before taking another drink.
Kenzie scrunched up her face in confusion before realization hit her. Grabbing the animal, she took it into the bathroom, before placing her down. She watched as, much like a dog, the animal sniffed around, before finding a spot to take care of business. Which happened to be on a dirty cloth. At least it already had to be washed anyway.
She walked back out of the bathroom with the little animal behind her. Kenzie stopped long enough to slide the lid to the tub under the bed. The little animal took this time to nip at Kenzie's ankle, since it was only about that tall. She turned and looked at the animal.
"I think I'll call you Rain." She stated before walking out of the bedroom.
Viper wasn't in the living room, but she made a mental note to ask him if the trading post would have kitty litter. She had to find somewhere for Rain to take care of business.
Deciding that she didn't have anything else to do, Kenzie decided to unpack the box Colby had brought a few days earlier. She slid the box over to the couch and opened it before sitting down and going through it.
Kenzie discovered that the box housed coloring books, crayons and markers, two decks of cards, a few toy balls, Monopoly, some puzzles, a long jump rope, dominoes, and a paddle ball. They were things that could cure her boredom when it occurred, but where was she going to put all of it.
She looked at the remaining three tubs. Deciding to use one of those, she began to place the items neatly in the box leaving out a deck of cards. She would play a game of solitaire later. As she went to put the balls into the box, one of them fell out. Kenzie watched as Rain launched off the couch chasing it down and pouncing on it, only to have it roll from under her. Kenzie laughed as she placed the remaining items in the tub and placed the lid on it.
Grabbing the other two tubs, Kenzie pulled them into the bedroom, leaving one in the doorway to keep the door open. In the first one, she packed all of her panties, bras, and socks. She still had a crate, and three boxes that Viper had moved into the bedroom for her.
Opening the crate, Kenzie began to transfer her personal items to the tub in the doorway. She knew they wouldn't all fit, but she was able to get most of them in there. She placed the lid on the tub, before pushing it into the bathroom and placing it by the sink.
After all of her unpacking, Kenzie decided she needed a shower, but first she had to make sure that Rain wasn't running about freely. Going back into the living room, she saw her playing with the ball. Picking up both animal and ball, Kenzie carried them into the bedroom and placed them in the tub.
Making her way into the bathroom, she started the shower, before stripping out of her clothes. She hopped in and began to wash her body. After about ten minutes, Kenzie noticed the water wasn't draining like it should have been. Shutting the shower off, she reached down into the water for the drain, but she could only get a small part of her pinky in it. Something was clogging it.
Kenzie wrapped a towel round herself after getting out of the shower. She walked over to the sink to retrieve her tweezers. In the process she knocked over some hand soap getting it on a few of her fingers. She sighed turning on the water in the sink to wash her hands. Once she was finished she noticed it hadn't drained as well.
With her tweezers, she reached down and grabbed blindly in the drain. Tugging, she pulled up a white piece of...cotton? Kenzie looked closer and her mouth widen in shock. Dropping the item on the counter she went back to the shower. Kneeling, she used the tweezers and pulled not one, not two, but three more of the exact same items from that drain.
Standing, Kenzie was making her way back over to the sink, when a floating white object caught her attention in the big tub. Her nostrils flared. She grabbed it adding it to the other three in her hand. She picked up the one from the sink and stormed out of the bathroom, making her way to Vipers Trophy room.
As the door slid open, Kenzie stomped in ready to give him a piece of her mind, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw him with another one of her tampons. He seemed to be dissecting it.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kenzie demanded glaring at him.
"I am running test." Was the answer that greeted her.
"On my tampons? Are you serious?" She snatched the tampon away from him. "These are personal."
Viper cocked his head to the side. "Why are they personal?"
"Because I use them when..." Kenzie trailed off not quite knowing what to say. "Human women have a certain time of month where we...bleed. These help the bleeding." Kenzie could feel her cheeks getting hot. This was worse than when her brother asked her about them.
"Bleeding where? They do not seem like bandages." Viper stated.
Kenzie's eyes widened mortified. There was no way she was going to tell him. She couldn't. She could all but imagine herself dying of embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter. Just stop playing with them." She instructed.
Viper shrugged massive shoulders before reaching under his work station and pull out two boxes to hand to her. Kenzie groaned and stomped her foot. This action caused her already loosely wrapped towel to topple to the ground.
This sent Viper into a low purr, which of course caused liquid to instantly pool between Kenzie's thighs. He took deliberate steps towards her as his purr deepened.
Instantly, his hands came up to cup her breast, before running his thumbs over her nipples gently. Kenzie's head fell back onto her shoulders as a soft moan escaped her lips. Viper was an eager learner and had learned quickly exactly how Kenzie liked to be touched. On its own accord, Kenzie's hand went to the growing bulge under Viper's loin cloth. His purr deepened as one hand slid between her legs.
Viper inhaled the smell of his mate's arousal. He stroked her intimately as she caressed his sex organ. He enjoyed touching her moisture and could only imagine what it would feel like wrapped around his organ.
Viper picked her up, placing her on his work table. He allowed his tongue to swipe over one of her nipples, before taking it into his mouth. He sucked on it hungrily as his hand went back to her core. He stroked her. Causing her to moan out in pleasure.
He switched his attention to the other nipple as her hand slid under his loin cloth. She began to stroke him. Viper enjoyed the feel of her hot skin against his flesh.
A beeping sliced through the sounds of his mates moans. Viper was prepared to ignore the person at the door, but it seemed his mate was not. Her hand stilled and she groaned nudging him. Viper removed his mouth from her, but did not still his finger.
"Viper." Kenzie moaned out. "Get the door."
"It can wait." Was Viper's response as he quickened his fingers.
The smell of his female's arousal was thick in the air as Viper took in a deep breath. The beeping sounded again and Viper purred deep within his throat. Kenzie grabbed his shoulders and sank her nails in. The action pleasurable to him. It wasn't long before her essence drenched his hand.
Viper rubbed his palm over his chest and watched as Kenzie's eyes darkened. He helped her off the work table before turning and leaving the room. He opened the front door to find his brother standing there with a box of Y'am for the Ch'nga.
"Smells like I caught you at a bad time." C'bra stated with a chuckle. Viper scoffed at his brother before turning to walk back into the house. He saw Kenzie in their sleeping quarters as the door slid shut. "I see you got her the Ch'nga." C'bra clicked.
"Yes. It will keep her company when I return to my duties." Viper responded.
"Do not forget that the Elders want to speak with you today. They would like a detailed account of exactly what happened on earth."
"Yes, I know." Viper clicked.
"Speak English." Kenzie stated walking out of the sleeping quarters with the Ch'nga behind her. "Hello, C'bra." She then greeted.
"Kenzie." C'bra responded. "Maybe you should learn our language. Seeing as you're first...attempt was not all disastrous." He chuckled.
"Somehow, I doubt that. What did I say anyway?"
"Something along the lines of us pauking ourselves."
"Pauk?" Kenzie questioned.
C'bra thought back to the word Sonja used instead. "Fuck."
"Oh no." Kenzie stated her cheeks heating up. She turned to Viper, "Why didn't you tell me that was what I said?"
"You did not ask." Viper responded. "Your confusion at the time was amusing." He then stated with a Yautja smirk.
Kenzie glared. "Go...pauk yourself." She stated as her features slipped into a sly grin.
Viper tilted his head to the side, "I would prefer to pauk you."
He watched as his mate's features turned from stunned to embarrassment in the span of a second, but he could also smell her arousal. He didn't have anywhere he needed to be until the mid-cycle. Viper was very tempted to elicit more of the sounds he'd come to love out of her. He was soon pulled from his thoughts at the sound of his brother chuckling.
"Well, I'll just leave the two of you alone. I'll return later." C'bra stated. Viper barely acknowledged his brother as he left.
"What's in the box C'bra brought?" Kenzie asked breaking the silence.
"It is Y'am for your pet."
"I've named her Rain." Kenzie informed him.
Viper nodded as he watched her retrieve one of the bottles and walk into the kitchen. She pulled out a bowl and poured some of the content into it before setting it on the floor. He then watched as the animal ran over to the bowl and began to lap away at the content.
Getting up, he carried the box to the counter by the cooler and began to put them away. Kenzie passed him the bottle that she'd opened before grabbing a piece of fruit and washing it off. Viper heard her groan as began to drum her fingers on the cabinet.
"You put one in here too?" She asked frustrated. "You know what? I don't care. Just get them out of where ever you put them." She stated before taking her fruit and walking over to the couch.
For the next few minutes Viper went about collecting from all of his observation areas. When he had them all, he disposed of them before joining Kenzie on the couch. She lay on the couch throwing her legs over his.
"I was thinking about cooking for you and your...clan brothers, but I don't know what they like."
"Whatever you fix will be fine." Viper responded.
He knew his clan brothers. They would eat practically anything. She didn't have to cook them anything at all, but he was grateful that his mate would take the time to do so for them. He wondered how she would handle them. Sonja seemed to get annoyed rather easily with Ca'tor and Rou'e, but then again who wouldn't? The brothers were definitely intolerable at times.
Viper watched as Kenzie handed the animal a piece of her fruit. His mate then went about finishing the rest herself.
"On the next full cycle, I will take you around the ship. You will need to know where everything is and how to get there without me." Viper stated as his mate made her way into the kitchen.
"Okay." Kenzie replied as she took her seat back beside him. "How many clan brothers do you have?" She then questioned.
"Five." Viper responded.
The soft keening made Viper look down at the animal. He watched as his mate picked up the creature and headed into the sleeping quarters. He would have to find something for the animal to relieve herself on.
Kenzie was currently cutting one for the big slabs of meat she had Viper bring her before he left. Her plan was to cut one into strips and another into cubes to serve on a tray. She wasn't sure what else she was going to cook, but would worry about it after she put the meat in the oven.
Once that was finished Kenzie mildly wondered if they would like any of the food that she'd brought with her. She wasn't sure if Viper's species was a fan on vegetables. She hadn't really seen Viper eat any and only ate the occasional fruit. She then realized that she hadn't given much thought to what she would make when she told Viper she wanted to cook for them. He also wasn't very helpful either.
She began to rummage through the cabinets through all of the food she'd put away. She thought about making macaroni, but wasn't so sure that would go over well. There was also a variety of canned goods as well as some pasta and different sauces.
Kenzie sighed as she leaned against the counter. More than anything she knew that this species were meat lovers, with the occasional tendency to eat something else. She wanted to offer a variety of items to Viper and his clan brothers.
Rain rubbing against her ankle caught Kenzie's attention. She looked down at the small animal and was more than sure she was ready to eat yet again. Taking out a sleeve of crackers, which the animal seemed to like, Kenzie crushed them into her bowl. As she went to put the box of Ritz back up and idea struck her.
She took out the remaining two sleeves of crackers before putting on a pot of water to bowel. She then took out six cans of whole potatoes. She went to open them before she realized that she didn't have a can opener and as her luck would have it, the cans weren't pop tops. Kenzie made her way over to the computer by the door to call Sonja.
"Hello." Sonja greeted when her face popped up on the screen.
"Hey, Sonja, I was wondering if you had a can opener." Kenzie stated.
"Um, I think I do. I haven't had to use one in forever so I can't be sure. Hold on a second and let me go look."
Kenzie waited patiently as Sonja went to search for a can opener. A few minutes later she came back on screen holding the object in her hand.
"Found it. I'll bring it over to you."
"Thanks." Kenzie responded before ending the call.
She decided she'd just wait by the door considering Sonja didn't live too far away. It was literally about a thirty second walk. Sure enough a few seconds later, what Kenzie had dubbed the doorbell, was sounding. She greeted Sonja as she handed her the opener stepping aside to let her in.
"It smells pretty good in here, Kenzie." Sonja stated taking a seat on the couch.
"Thanks, I'm cooking for Viper and his clan brothers."
"Child, good luck with that, especially with those two idiots among them."
"Oh boy. On a scale of one to ten, how bad are they?"
"About a twelve." Was Sonja's response.
"Well, at least you didn't say twenty."
Kenzie went about preparing the rest of what she planned to serve as she talked to Sonja. She wanted to ask what events had brought her and Jay to live with C'bra, but decided against it since she didn't know the woman that well yet.
Once Kenzie had her macaroni finished and the potato halves in the oven she sat on the couch beside Sonja and listened to her recount a few events that were customary on the ship. From what she was hearing there wasn't one anytime soon.
After sitting and talking to Sonja for a little while longer and finishing all of her cooking, Kenzie made her way into the bedroom to search through her clothes. She came to the few dresses she had and decided that now was as good a time as any to wear one. She chose a sundress that stopped about mid-thigh. It was white with blue patterns and housed a black belt with a gold shell right below the breast.
Kenzie then made her way to the bathroom to shower. She'd worked up a sweat with all of the cooking she'd done. She figured she'd go ahead and get ready since the only thing she had left to do was put the food on serving plates and trays.
After her shower, Kenzie slid into her panties and a strapless bra. She then slid her feet into her flip flops and headed into the kitchen. She passed Rain lying on the floor by the couch asleep.
Kenzie went about laying crackers on a large plate before she started squishing the macaroni and cheese almost so fine it resembled mash potatoes. She then took a knife and spread some on the crackers. After that was done, Kenzie took a strip of meat and cut it into thin squares before placing it on top of the cheese crackers.
Once each cracker was covered Kenzie then turned her attention to the potatoes. She used the knives to hull out some of the middle. She then placed cubes of meat into them and topped them off with a little mushed mac n' cheese.
After that was done, she went about cutting up different types of fruit. This was mostly for herself, but Kenzie thought it would be nice to cut enough for the others as well.
When the fruit was cut and placed on a serving plate, Kenzie put it into the refrigerator. She then put the cubes and strips of meat on serving trays. She then slid them into the lukewarm oven along with the other items she'd prepared to keep them warm.
As an afterthought Kenzie decided to have a dipping sauce to go along with her meats. She wasn't sure how well that would go over with the others, but she would enjoy it. Her only problem was that she only things she had were pasta sauces and a bottle of bar-b-q sauce that she wasn't sure was any good. It hadn't been opened so she was hopping so.
She placed two small pots on the stove. In one she poured the bar-b-q sauce after smelling it to make sure it smelled alright. In the she poured a can of cream of mushroom. She added a bit of water to both pots and set them to low.
Kenzie then made her way back into the bedroom and slid into her dress deciding that her flip flops would work with it just fine. She then went into the bathroom to pull her hair into a ponytail with slight strands hanging on either side of her face. Once finished with that she headed into back into the bedroom and clasped the necklace Viper had given her around her neck.
She could hear Rain whimpering just outside the door and figured she had to take care of business again. She let her in and led her to the bathroom, where Rain went to the same spot she had been using. Kenzie had laid dirty cloths down for her to take care of business on.
When her pet was finished Kenzie made her way into the kitchen to set out cups and the dark liquid Viper liked to drink. He had told her the name of it, but at the moment she couldn't remember what it was. So, she would just call it what it was, liquor. She had just finished when the front door slid open and in walked Viper and C'bra with four other…men.
Rain ran over to the six of them and began to hiss. She then let out a noise that sounded like a small cheetah. One of the men stepped towards Rain and roared staring down at her with distaste. Kenzie quickly interjected herself into the situation. She picked Rain up and cradled the animal to her chest.
"Back off." She stated through gritted teeth. She was pretty sure she would not like this one.
Viper stepped into his living quarters and the aroma hit him almost immediately. Some of the smells he was familiar with while others were new to him, but still smelled very appetizing. He was wondering what his mate could have possibly prepared when he heard her pet hissing and then essentially roaring at them.
His clan brother, Ma'iss, stepped towards the animal and sent it a roar of his own. He wasn't a fan of the small creatures. He watched as his mate picked the animal up and leveled a glare at Ma'iss.
"Back off." Viper could tell the words were a slight threat. He had heard her utter the same words when the Young Blood had advanced on her brother when they first arrived on the ship.
Viper turned to see the shocked look on his clan brother's face. He knew for a fact that Ma'iss was stunned by Kenzie's minimal threat. Not because she was an ooman, but because she was small. Ca'tor began to laugh before hitting Ma'iss on the back.
"You may not want to upset her. Viper has told us what she did to the Kainde Amedha. She is…deadly." He clicked through his laughter.
"If you're going to talk about me, which I'm assuming you're doing, at least say it in English." Kenzie informed him before handing Rain to a very amused C'bra and heading back into the kitchen.
Viper watched his mate go and for the first time noticed what she was wearing. It was different from all the other ooman coverings she had worn. There was something almost…arousing about it. Viper decided he liked it. It was a close second to her not wearing anything at all.
"Why is it that you and C'bra both seem to be attracted to ooman females who are…"
"Outspoken and a lot of fun?" Rou'e offered finishing Ma'iss' sentence.
"I would not have said fun, but outspoken yes. Aren't oomans, females in general, supposed to be…submissive?" Ma'iss questioned. At that C'bra laughed setting the animal down.
"That is not, and I do not believe will it ever be, the case with either Sonja or Kenzie." C'bra informed him. "Besides, where's the fun in submission?"
Viper shook his head as the conversation turned to one he'd rather not have to listen to, especially when his mate was in what she was wearing and it would be rude to take her to their sleeping chambers to pleasure her. Instead he walked away from the conversation and into the kitchen.
Kenzie was bending over, pulling trays out of the oven. Viper leaned against the counter and watched as she placed them on counter top.
"Your clan brother is irritating." She stated as she turned to him.
"You just met him."
"Well, he's still irritating. Rain didn't do anything to him." Viper raised his brow. "Okay, she hissed a little, but she isn't but ankle high. It's not like she could actually do anything to any of you." She stated folding her arms over her chest. The action pushed her mammary glands a bit higher, causing Viper's attention to be pulled there.
Viper reached out and placed his hands on her waist before pulling her to him. A sign of affection he'd seen his brother demonstrate several times. "He will be better once you get to know him."
Kenzie rolled her eyes. "I highly doubt that."
Viper lowered his head and locked his mandible gently to her cheeks, before swiping his tongue slowly over her lips. He then released her. He watched as Kenzie walked to the cooler and took out another tray with fruit she had cut up.
"Lead the way." She stated gesturing. "I guess you should introduce your clan brothers to me."
They made their way back into the living room where Viper proceeded to introduce his mate to his clan brothers. Staring with Ca'tor and ending with Ma'iss. Viper then sat down with the rest of his brothers as his mate went into the kitchen. She came back a few minutes later with a tray containing c'ntlip and cups. She poured them each one and handed them out before going back into the kitchen.
This time she returned with something Viper was not familiar with. She placed the tray on the table in front of them before picking up one and nibbling on it. She then grabbed another one and bent down to give it to her pet.
C'bra was the first to pick up the creation and place the entire thing into his mouth. He seemed to be enjoying it, so Viper took one as well.
The flavor was new to Viper with something he faintly recognized. It was delicious. He grabbed another one and ate it at well. He would have to be sure to ask Kenzie to make this again. As Viper went to grab his third one, the rest of his clan brothers joined in.
"This is good." Xile stated as he grab another one.
Kenzie threw him a smile before heading back into the kitchen. She then brought out two more trays. One with just meats, another with something else Viper wasn't familiar with. This time when she sat them down, he was the first to grab one. In that moment he discovered that his mate had many ooman foods that he enjoyed and wondered what else she could prepare that he would like.
Viper sat and watched as him mate nibbled on her fruit and talked to Ca'tor. She seemed to be getting along with his most annoying clan brother rather well. They were discussing ooman foods. Ca'tor seemed to be just as taken with Kenzie's creations as Viper was. He'd asked her several questions about what she had prepared. He even asked her what else she knew how to prepare.
Of all the times that they had been to C'bra's chambers since Sonja came aboard the ship, she had never fixed any ooman foods, mostly because there were none aboard the ship, and because she couldn't bear being in the company of Rou'e and Ca'tor for any extended amount of time.
Viper talked to the rest of his clan brothers, about the next cleansing they were to go on. It was no secret that hard meat where taking over many different parts of several planets. The question was: how where they getting there? Viper knew that he would have to leave again. He just didn't know when.
Viper glanced at Kenzie as she got up and headed down the stairs into her special. Standing he followed her.
"Is there something wrong, Mate?"
"What? Oh, no. I'm just getting some gum." She stated grabbing a pack.
They both headed back to the others as she popped a piece of gum into her mouth. She blew a bubble after getting the gum nice and chewed. She turned to find all eyes on her. Kenzie had seen the same curiosity in Viper's eyes on the ship and without a word she passed out pieces of gum, which Viper declined.
"Take the wrapper off, put it in your mouth, and chew."
Kenzie hit the floor faster than professional football players doing up downs as five little pink blobs came flying at her. As she rolled over on her back she began to laugh holding her stomach. Each of them had tried to blow a bubble and he result was much the same as it had been with Viper. She was nearly attacked by gumballs.
Once she pulled herself together she was able to get off the floor. She looked around at all of their confused and shocked faces and immediately began to laugh again. She couldn't help herself. It was just too funny.
Soon her laugher was joined by two others as Rou'e and Ca'tor rumbled with laughter. Rain rubbed at her ankle and whimpered. Kenzie got herself under control again and took her pet to relieve herself. Once she was finished, Kenzie made her way back into the living room and refilled their glasses.
When they were all done eating, Kenzie began to clean up as they clicked on about something with their drinks in hand. It was safe to say that they'd enjoyed what she'd made for them considering there wasn't any at all left.
She went about washing all the dishes and putting them away. She then poured some Y'am into Rain's bowl before going back into the living room to retrieve the cups.
Once those were clean and Rain had finished her Y'am, Kenzie carried her into the bedroom and placed her on her make shift bed before turning the lights out and leaving the room.
She decided to try and stay up with Viper, C'bra, their clan brothers even though she was tired. She sat down and curled up in Vipers lap listening to them click about whatever. Normally, it would bug her, but this time she simply tuned them out and closed her eyes.
She must have fallen asleep because the next ting Kenzie knew she was being laid on the bed and Viper was undressing her. She heard him begin to purr softly, but did her best to ignore him. She was tired and just wanted to sleep.
After a few seconds he must have gotten the idea because he stopped purring and his weight sank is side of the bed. Seconds after that she felt his hand come to rest on her stomach. Kenzie got comfortable and settled back into sleep.
A/N: I gave a bit of mild smut. For all of you smexy perverts out there…don't worry. It's coming, it's coming.
