Breakfast Conversation

Chapter 24

Everyone went to bed, Creed and Jubilee slept in Jubilee's old room, and shared her old bed.

Creed wrapped his arms around Jubilee and pulled her close to him, but she jerked away and groaned with disgust.

"What's wrong?" he asked, but she didn't answer, "Hmph are ya still angry about the lil' scuffle between me and your tiger friend?"

She rolled over and glared at him, "What do you think?"

"I wasn't gonna kill him, frail-"

"I have a name you know. We've been together this long, you can at least call me by my real name instead of word which is used to define something that is inferior and weak."

"Damn. What the hell's got you all riled up all of the sudden?"

She sat up and poked him with her index finger, "You that's what! When I first introduced you to my friends, just so that they'd allow us to stay here for a while you go and start spouting out stuff that's none of their business!"

"It ain't like they weren't gonna find out sooner or later. You've got sex slave written all over yer face."

"And you've got asshole written all over yours." she slid off of the bed, but Creed grabbed her and pulled her back. She was not happy, "Let me go, Creed!" he simply glowered at her and did not comply to her demand, "I said let me go!" she tried to yank herself out of his grasp, but he pulled her underneath his own body and laid on top of her, "Son of b-" her words her muffled by a forceful kiss he laid upon her tender lips. He pulled broke the kiss and smiled down at her; she was not amused, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Just go with it." he said and kissed her again. His hands exploring her body, touching certain spots that made her gasp in pleasure. The human part of her wanted to push him away and leave, but the animal inside hungered for his brute affection. The two became entwined and lost to the outside world in their ecstasy.

Outside there window, peering in was Turk. He was watching them from a tree that was next to the window, he growled angrily as he watch this man have his was with Jubilee, but he did nothing. He knew the rules of the house and he did not wish to risk breaking them, because if he did, he would be without a home and without a family once again.

Morning came and Creed was the first to get up, leaving Jubilee to sleep in, as he went down stairs to fix himself some breakfast. He reached the kitchen to find that everyone who lived in the house hold were up and about.

Stag and Snake were speaking to each other in some kind of sign language that he did not know, Bong-o in the living room smoking a joint, and Gothica and Rosie were in the kitchen eating.

Creed peered at what the girls were eating. Gothica was eating the carcass of a dead rat and sipping from a wine glass that was filled with blood wine. Rosie was eating a fruit salad. He shook his head, unable to believe that all these people were able to live together under the same roof. As soon as he sat down Rosie stood up.

"Oh, Victor! Would you like me to fix you something to eat?" she squealed.

"Sure." he said, wincing at the high pitch squeal that came from the small girl.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Got any meat?"

"Yeah. In the freezer. Why type of meat do you want?"

"Just something that you can turn into a steak. I'm not a picky man today."

"Okay. I'll be back in a jiffy!" she walked out of the kitchen and into one of the back rooms that held their supply of frozen foods.

Gothica looked at Creed and smiled, "You do know that that girl has a crush on you, don't you?"

"It ain't hard to tell. I can smell her hormones fluctuate every time she sees me." then he smiled and looked her up and down, "Why? Ya jealous or somethin'?"

She laughed, "Please, if I was jealous both Jubes and Rosie would be my mid-evening snack. Anyways. If I even had the least bit of interest in you, I'd of already had you in my bed by now. My interest on the other hand do not lye on men. Women are the sex that I prefer."

"Really?" he chuckled, "Would there be anyway of me bein' able to talk ya into havin' a three some with me and my play toy?"

"Ha! When you grow a vagina and breast, then I'll consider it. Anyways, you've got other things to worry about than just pleasure."

"Whaddya mean?"

"Turk. He's insanely jealous of the so-called relationship that you share with Jubilee. He's in love with her. He's been in love with her since the day she came here. Out of all the men in the world, he was the only one that did not care about age."

"Lemme guess. The frail wasn't interested in him."

"On the contrary. She was, but she would never admit it. Her feelings for her mentor got in the way and the fact that Logan and Turk are best friends didn't help matters either. She wanted Logan more than she wanted Turk. The poor guy. He is the last of his kind."

"Last of his kind?"

"He's neither human nor mutant. He's of an ancient cat race that were believed to be immortal and very powerful, but they lost their power which was the key to their immortality. Settlers and hunters are what wiped his whole race out. Only he remains. He should be over five hundred years old by now, I'm surprise the poor guy hasn't killed over from being so lonely."

"I thought you said that his race ain't immortal anymore."

"Oh, they are immortal, but once you cut off their head they're dead. Kinda like those Highlander movies that they have out. The only that's keeping him going is Jubilee. He already has it in his mind that he's going to mate with her and make her immortal, so that they might live together and rebuild his race. His kind are like wolves. Once they've chosen a mate, they mate for life. So you better watch out for him. As long as your inside this house, he can't kill you. Our rules forbid it."

"Interesting."

"I've found the perfect steak for you, Victor!" Rosie had come back with what looked like a five pound steak, "Now, how do you like your meat? Well done, medium, or rare?"

"Rare."
