No

Untitled Part 9

A loud rumble from her stomach awakened her, getting up she saw Red was gone, and her stomach protested again, refused to be denied of food. Rising from bed, she used one of the many pelts as cover and moved to the food replicator, she punched in a few commands he had taught her, then sat down when the food was ready, the kitchen area was not far from the bridge, she saw Red at the control console engrossed in his current task. Not wanting to talk to him for the first time, she moved to the observatory to eat her food in solitude, thru the floor-to-ceiling clear glass she could tell it was around noon, the sun beamed down brightly from the clear blue skies, she must slept for a long time.

Finishing up, she spent her whole afternoon on a wild goose chase for new clothes to wear, she searched the entire place - except bridge- left and right, high and low, thru and thru, she couldn't even find a single cloth of his spared skirt outfit, after hours of searching, she huffed and rolled her eyes in exasperation, then headed to the bridge.

"Red, please tell me you have new clothes for me." She spoke behind him in defeat.

He had been working on a level one diagnostic check on the ship since he got up, a routine check he was due a week ago, then got distracted by her, breaking his attention away from the console, he crossed his arms and examined her.

"You seem fully clothed to me." Another mistake he had made, he should have hidden the pelts.

"This? It can barely cover my body!" She was still aghast at her indecency.

"Be glad I didn't take that away from you, too." He simply turned back to the console, then synced the ship's system to his arm computer, once he was pleased with the results, he moved to the weapons room to store his gauntlet.

For once, Ray was struck speechless as she tightened her grips on the pelt, she couldn't believe what she just heard from him, she had expected such offensive remarks from anyone but him, if he were someone else, she'd call them perverts if she hadn't hit them in the face already.

Turning on her heel in anger, she quickly followed him to the weapons room, a glimpse of that beast's skull displaying on the trophy wall caught her eyes, despite the fact that he used her as bait, she couldn't help but to wonder - ever since they got back from the excursion, he had gone a complete 180 degree change, she swore that beast had damaged something in his big brain.

"That kill is in your name, little one." Placing his gauntlet back to the shelf, he walked over and broke her brooding silence.

"Thanks, I didn't ask for it," she retorted. "Why are you always killing creatures and putting them on your wall?" The question had been bothering her for some time now.

"To woo females, and to mate." He cornered her to a wall and trilled.

"To what?!" She whipped her head in shock and found his intense gaze, it caused her heart rate to spike, she moved back from him.

"Y-you don't mean to..." she trailed off, her eyes darting between him and the skull, that was his courting ritual?!

The realization hit her hard, all the sudden change of him made sense now - sure, she admired his body and skills, but actually doing it, with an alien, was another matter - A look of dread washed over her, she turned around to run but it was a dead end, the metal wall blocked her escape, and his imposing body kept closing in on her, she felt her whole body stiffened when his firm hand moved its way up to her rib cage, slightly below her breasts, a strong force from his hand yanked the pelt away, exposing her body before him.

"Red!" She gasped and tried to hide her nudity, but he wouldn't allow it, she could see his pupils narrowed, making his yellow beady eyes darkened, gleaming with desires and possessiveness, she was like a ensnared prey trapped under his predatory gaze.
