Chapter 9: Rude Awaking

Savannah groaned when she heard the alarm clock go off with its annoying beeping sounds and that's when she realized Kai had his massive arms wrapped around her. She was in sock at the fact that he had spent the night holding her. Then she saw Sebastian's head lying on top of Kai.

She was still trying to figure out how to get out of Kai's embrace to turn the clock off when his fist came down on top of the unsuspecting clock and destroyed it. Savannah burst into a giggle fit after she saw the poor clock pieces fly and then fall onto the floor.

"Something amusing, little fox?" Kai groggily asked as he pulled Savannah's body closer to his.

"I take it that you're not a morning person" Savannah laughed and then she gasped when she realized that Kai wasn't wearing anything.

"Something wrong?" Kai questioned and then discovered that her legs were tangled up with his. She had one leg wedged between his and the other one was thrown over his hip.

"I shouldn't have to state the obvious" Savannah pointed down, indicating the fact that Kai was naked.

"I have slept this way for many years and I have no intention of changing" Kai stated as he untangled his legs from Savannah's and then sat up, allowing the blankets to pool in his lap. That's when he heard Savannah gasp. He knew what she saw and he really was not up for explaining it.

"What happened?" Savannah softly questioned as she sat up and then tentatively touched several of the healed scars on Kai's back.

"They're whip marks" Kai coldly stated, not wanting to remember all the pain that he had endured during his youth before he became a warrior.

"Why?" Savannah questioned as she positioned herself behind Kai and then gently pulled him back. He leaned back into her arms and laid his head against her breasts.

"Are you sure?" Kai asked as he felt her arms wrap around him, her long red hair cascading over her shoulders and down her back, creating a veil.

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know" Savannah started to say, "Besides, I told you my problems and what happened to me. I think you telling me about your past is only fair."

"Alright, you've got a point" Kai softly stated as he began to play with a lock of Savannah's hair, enjoying the silky texture of it, before gently grasping one of her hands and then rubbing his mandibles across the backside.

"Alright you, start talking" Savannah stated as she felt her body start turning to liquid as he caressed her hand.

"Okay" Kai mumbled as he began to relate the entire from his birth to now.

Kai told of Savannah of how he was born with only one leg. That he was forced into slavery and bullied by others. His mother rejected him and refused to believe that he was her son. He also spoke of how many times he had gone to bed hungry and how he used to get scrap pieces of food, which was barely enough to even start to fill is stomach. He also spoke of Alex and how they met. He spoke of Melissa and Varick. He also spoke of the baby that Melissa was soon to have when he met her. He even told Savannah that Melissa had twins, one boy and one girl. The girl's name was Nova and the boy's name was Kanoa. He also explained his entire mission and that all of Savannah's remaining family members were here.

"So, they're all here looking for Alex and Carrie?" Savannah asked, making sure she understood everything.

"Correct" Kai softly stated as he watched Sebastian jump off of the bed and walk out of the room.

"So, who are all my family members?" Savannah questioned.

"Well, you have Varick and Melissa. They're your great grandparents. Then you have Melody and Tanaka. They're your grandfather's sister and her mate. Then there's Bashera and Mara. Bashera is Alex's cousin and Mara is Bashera's mate. I have already told you about Nova and Kanoa. Then you have Melody and Tanaka's four children. Two sets of twins. One set is male and the other is female. The boys are Dimitri and Dionysus. The girls are Aurora and Anastasia. Bashera and Mara are expecting their first child in about six months. The way Mara put it was that she was "waiting for Bashera to get his wild hair out of his ass before deciding to settle down" Kai chuckled.

"Wow. I always thought I was alone in the world and I now I have a family. A very large family that I never knew anything about" Savannah sighed as she began to gently rub Kai's shoulders, which produced a very loud "purr" from Kai.

"Was that you?" Savannah questioned when she heard a purring sound that sounded like Sebastian but he wasn't in the room.

"Yes" Kai admitted.

"You mean to tell me is that you can actually purr like a cat" Savannah was almost speechless.

"I do so only when something makes me happy and what you are doing is making me very happy" Kai stated as he turned around to face Savannah, being very careful to keep the blanket in place over his nudity. He was not up for frightening Savannah with his immense size.

"Oh" Savannah was almost breathless when she realized what Kai meant and then lowered her eyes. She then realized that when Kai moved, he had accidentally pulled the blanket off of her lower body, revealing her naked legs and her underwear. She could feel the blush climbing up her body under his golden gaze and it sent a thrill throughout her entire body.

"You do not need to lower your eyes to me, little fox" Kai softly stated as he gently pulled Savannah into his lap. He was expecting her to protest but, there wasn't any.

"I didn't mean to" Savannah whispered as she felt his powerful legs under her bottom, along with a slight evidence of his arousal. She hadn't expected him to actually be partially erect because, they hadn't even done anything except talk. But, there it was, plain as day.

"I know" Kai whispered as he began to nuzzle the pale ivory column of her neck. He heard her gasp but, became unsure when she began to squirm.

"I'm sorry. I should not have done that" Kai stated as he pulled away from her.

"You have nothing to be sorry" Savannah started to say, "I was actually enjoying that."

"I thought you weren't. I'm sorry. I am not used to human reactions" Kai confessed as he gently rubbed the lower part of her spine with his claws.

"Nor do I know your ways but, maybe we can learn together" Savannah smiled at Kai and then slowly placed her lips on his neck, licking the skin which brought forth a loud purr.

"Little fox, are you sure you want me to mate with you?" Kai questioned as he slid his hand up her shirt and cupped the fullness of her breast. He heard her moan and her back arched against his hand. That's when he realized that he was going to need some advice from Varick. He was not prepared for the mating rituals of ooman females, especially one that he wants to take as a forever mate.

"Not right now. I am not ready to go that far just yet" Savannah stated as she felt Kai remove his hand from her breast.

"I must get back to my ship and check everything out" Kai softly stated, needing to place some distance between them before his male hormones got out of hand. Plus, he also needed to get some advice on this matter.

"Okay. So, uh, will you be by later on tonight?" Savannah questioned as she watched Kai keep a firm hold on the blankets as he reached down for his loin cloth.

"If you wish" Kai said as he looked at Savannah.

"Yes. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want you here or if I didn't like you" Savannah giggled as she watched Kai struggle to keep the blankets in place while trying to put his loin cloth on.

"I'll turn my head if that will make it easier for you" Savannah stated as she turned her head towards the window but, she caught a glimpse of Kai in the dresser mirror as he stood up. Her eyes grew wide when she saw how massive his partial erection was.

"Thank you. Now I must go" Kai stated as he leaned over and nuzzled Savannah's neck, which brought forth a soft moan. That's when he picked up an unfamiliar scent off of her body. It was sweet and delicate and very intoxicating. He had to get out of there before he did something that he knew he would regret.

"Okay. See ya tonight" Savannah whispered as she watched Kai walk out of the bedroom and then she heard the backdoor close.

"Wow!" Savannah exclaimed as she remembered the tingling sensation that Kai had created inside of her body. That's when she realized that his skin smelled different. It smelled heavy and very musky. And it just started smelling like that when he started to obtain his erection.

"Sebastian, let's go have breakfast" Savannah stated cheerfully when she saw Sebastian poke his head around the corner.

"Meow"

Well, it took me a while to get this chapter up because I have computer classes first thing in the morning. I don't think any of the guys or the teacher would approve of me writing about this stuff during school hours on the computer system. But, I did take many pages worth of notes during break times. But, I wish to thank everyone for all of their reviews. If it wasn't for all of the reviews I don't think I would have much inspiration. Chapter 10 should be up sometime tonight or tomorrow. That one, everyone should get a laugh out of.
