Written for a Jaynegang challenge, this one was to write something that Jayne keeps hidden under his bed and doesn't want anyone to discover.
Jayne looked up and down the corridor to make sure no one was watching him. Satisfied that no one was about, he dropped lightly down into his quarters. After carefully locking the hatch above him he moved over to the small cot against the wall. With a slight grunt, he bent down to retrieve the small box underneath it.
He glanced around the small room a bit guiltily, not quite able to shake the fear that he'd be caught. Shrugging the unease off, he sat down on the cot and slowly opened the box.
With gentle fingers he reached in and pulled out a red, ripe strawberry. He savored the fresh, sweet smell of it. His sharp, white teeth bit into it leisurely; his pink tongue deftly catching the small stream of juice that almost escaped. He felt the soft moan of pleasure deep in his throat as the sweet, tangy flavors exploded on his tongue.
Kaylee was so gonna kill him if she caught him with her strawberries.
