S'er'in'e thought for a moment. "I understand the sending or giving of flowers is considered a token of affection. I am surprised to hear that you have yet to get any." There was also a surprised look on his face too. "Another thing you should know, males can not touch a female without permission. While most consideration is granted to the tail for obvious reasons, only under strict conditions can touch be made without permission."

"If you wish to touch me, you have my permission," she said, offering him a smile. "Any time you wish to, in fact. As far as flowers go, as I said, I'm not very materialistic. Some of the Marines got together and sent me some for my birthday which was incredibly sweet. I've just not dated much."

"Thank you." He smiled as they visited the various shops. "As I mentioned before, we are drawn by the scent of the other. The male to the female. Many mask it by other odours like creams or sprays." A hint? Suggestion if thats what she wanted?

"Learning about your ways is definitely interesting, Colonel," Kasia said, using his rank since she hadn't been given permission to use his name. "I imagine your sense of smell is incredibly sensitive, too."

"S'er'in'e, please." He offered. "It is, I will be able to smell you even if you have left a room a little time prior. I can obviously see better in the dark and my hearing is excellent too. which can pose a problem if explosives are used." He smiled. He'd still not mustered up the courage to touch her, traditions playing strong even though she had given permission. "I can also jump fairly high from a crouched position and I can run for short distances at a fast pace."

It didn't go unnoticed by her that he hadn't touched her, but Kasia wasn't going to push the issue. If he wanted to, he would. If he didn't, that was okay, too. "What are your feelings on cats that have been domesticated?"

"I have no problem with them, they however may have with me as I am a feline and far larger than them." S'er'in'e smiled. After 15 minutes he had everything he needed then a further 30 minutes to look around the many shops present. "Are you ready to eat?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm starving," she said, unashamed that she was a woman with an appetite. "Tigger is a sand cat, and he's still just a baby. He is the sweetest little guy that ever lived, and is a huge snuggler."

S'er'in'e smiled as he followed her back to the Turbolift. When it arrived the people exited and once again an empty ride home. "Is there anything else that you wish to know about my ways?"

"I find it hard to believe you have never expressed your desire to be with a female before. Do females make you nervous at all?"

"Not at all, but remember females are held in very high regard to my kind. Males serve them. As I mentioned many females of other species stick to their own kind and most are intimidated by me. Few have been around me long enough for a scent to take hold and of those, they were with another." It was clear that S'er'in'e felt bad about that, most simply didn't get to know him very well or only saw him for what he was.

"Does... does my scent bother you?" Kasia found herself asking.

"No, of course not. It is quiet pleasant actually." S'er'in'e wondered if she felt she smelt off putting or unpleasant to his nose.

Kasia felt a little relief. "I don't want to offend now that I know your senses are heightened."

"You need not worry Kasia." S'er'in'e replied and his feline inflections could be heard when he pronounced, though he wondered if now she was aware of the scent situation, if she would back off or remain.

"Say my name again?" she requested, looking up at him.

"Kasia." He replied looking down at her smiling. He tapped his badge to turn it off, then motioned for her to do the same. He repeated the word once she had and it sounded like a feline purr and mumble for just a single word.

Kasia couldn't help but give a visible shiver when she heard him say her name in his native tongue once their combadges were off. There was something quite exotic sounding about it, and she found she definitely enjoyed that. "That sounds..." she didn't have the right words to describe what she meant, but based on the smile and her tone, it definitely wasn't negative in any way. "Would you... would you be opposed to going on a date with me?"

He turned his back on, it was not Federation English as he understood it. "Could you repeat that for me please?" He asked so that he knew what she said and understood it.

The Russian woman blushed and turned her own combadge back on so she could repeat her previously asked question. "I asked if you would be opposed to going on a date with me. A real date." If that didn't show she was interested in him, then there wasn't much she could say short of telling him outright.

"I would be supremely honoured." S'er'in'e bowed again though this time he smiled broadly enough the tips of his fangs appeared from between his lips. "I will need your help however, we Caitians do not date so I am unfamiliar with what is involved in such a venture." Unsure if this meant they were in a relationship or testing the waters for one in the Human context.

"Dating is a way to get to know someone and see if you're compatible. Some have dinner, see a movie... the possibilities are practically endless," she said, reaching over to run a finger over his hand.

"Then I would be delighted." S'er'in'e spoke. Smiling. "I hate to ruin the moment but should you decide against this at any point, please inform me so that I can make arrangements." If she was against this in the end, he wanted to take measures so her scent wouldn't effect him any further.

"S'er'in'e... you didn't ruin the moment at all. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that we met just a short time ago... how long is customary for Caitians to wait before they know?"

"You forget, the female claims the male, how long depends on you not I." He answered. "Males will always accept the advances of a female, we consider it an honour to be deemed worthy of such attention."

When they reached his quarters, Kasia waited for him to get the door open so they could go inside. "So, how long would be up to me? How much attention is too much?"

"How long until you deem me worthy as a suitable Mate, as for attention, I will willingly give you as much or as little attention as you wish or tell me. As the female Kasia you control every aspect, if you wish to spend time with me you need only ask. If you wish for time apart you have only to say. If something I do bothers you then inform me, or something I do that you like then tell me so that I know." S'er'in'e explained as he placed his wares on the Kitchen top. "I have never been in a relationship of my own ways or otherwise, I'm having to depend on you to guide me."

"I know I can do that," she said softly, reaching out to take his large, furred hand into her own. There was a little bit of nervousness in her as she didn't want to force him into doing anything he may not want to. "Will you kiss me? You can say no, and I promise not to be upset about it."

S'er'in'e turned to her and looked at her with a gentleness that one might not expect from someone like him. Making sure his claws were sheathed and having been given permission to touch her he ever so gently placed his hands on her cheeks, his fingers stopping under her ears in a hold so gentle it was as if she was thee most precious gem known.

His whiskered flared with the pleased and happy emotion that washed through him as he lent down from his superior height and placed his lips to hers ever so gently as he had seen others do over the years. A kiss that lasted a few seconds before it broke but he didn't pull away straight away as he looked upon her beauty.

Kasia brought her hands up to clasp his, but she didn't pull them away, just held them. She closed her eyes and returned the kiss just as gently as he had. After seeing what he did to the man who'd tortured him for six long months, and to know he was capable of being so gentle... so tender... so caring... it was absolutely amazing. And when he pulled back, her cheeks were flushed and there was a smile on her just kissed lips. "That was perfect," she said softly, finally allowing her eyes to open so she could look at him.

"Thank you." He replied. "My first." He added as he stood upright again. There was more of an audible purr to him now. "Would you like to assist me in cooking?"

Kasia smiled, feeling special that she got to give him his first kiss. "I would absolutely love to help you cook," she replied with a smile. "You do know this could be classified as a date, don't you? We're getting to know one another... having dinner together..."

"I do now that you have told me." He walked to the Kitchen and began preparing the food. "I am sorry if everything is large and unwieldy for you. I find small utensils hard to use for someone my size."

"There's no need for you to apologize for something like that," she said, smiling up at him. "I completely understand, and will do the best that I can with them." While they were out, she'd purchased some strawberries and chocolate sauce. Unable to help herself, she dipped her finger into the chocolate and placed it into her mouth, then dipped it a second time to offer to him.

He smiled and leaned in to her hand. Gently opened his mouth and drew her finger in before his rough tongue licked off the sauce. "You will ruin your appetite should you spoil yourself too soon." He said with a grin.

Kasia returned the grin. "I promise I'll eat all my dinner," she said, brushing her wrist just under his nose.

S'er'in'e paused what he was doing and smelt her wrist. He inhaled deeply drawing in the scent of her "l should warn you that actions such as that only fuel the attraction to you." Keeping her options open and free should she want to walk away later. "But it is pleasant."

"Are you saying you're attracted to me?" She asked, slipping between him and the counter. "Because, I'm quite attracted to you."

"Permit me to show you?" He aske wiping his hands.

"Of course," she said, leaning back against the counter curious as to what he was going to show her.

His left hand came to rest on her waist, his right danced across her cheek taking the locks of hair with it. With aome slightly direction he leant her head back and to the side. His head lowered as he ran his nose from the crest of her shoulder all the way along it and up the curve of her neck. He licked her neck where it met the shoulder to taste her, a low rolling growl started and his whiskers washed across her cheek and the hold on her hair tightened ever so slightly.

Once a few moments passed he stood upright only now his features held a more predatory appearance to it.

Kasia shivered, though it wasn't from fear. In fact, nothing about her body or posture expressed that. With her head still tilted, she looked up at him with flushed skin. His actions definitely got her attention in ways few had before. "Why did you stop?" She asked, smoothing her hands over his quite large chest.

"You asked that I show you and I did." He returned her hair from where her moved it. "However since you asked I think my action answers your question." He smiled though he didnt let her go. "You know my ways, the important customs. You saw what I did and didnt judge me for it." He paused but a moment. "How is our date going?"

She still kept her hands against his chest, flexing her fingers against it. "Very, very well," she answered truthfully, sliding back so she was settled on the counter. Kasia drew him closer to her. "I know your customs, and I know I also gave you permission to touch me. So... why did you stop?"

"Then command me. Tell me what you wish and I will honour it." His tail coiling around her ankle while his hands held both sides of her waist. The smile on his face pleasant and warm.

"I want you to kiss me... to touch me," she said softly, running her hands down to his stomach before bringing them to rest on his hips.

S'er'in'e picked her up in his arms and walked to the sofa, large and comfortable as it was he gently tossed her onto it. He dropped to his hands and feet taking on the more feline appearance that he was known for and climbed onto the sofa with his hands, still holding that predatory look.

Kasia gasped when she landed on the couch, but quickly turned her attention toward him with a slow smile. Her dress crept up a bit to reveal her long legs. It was like that, was it? She didn't move an inch as he approached her, finding something oddly erotic about the way he seemed to stalk her. Was that what he wanted? Should she run? She needed to make a decision and fast before it was too late.

He leapt up onto the sofa, his large paws sinking into the material with his weight as he made his way slowly towards her. His eyes hard on her, watching her every move. His gaze caught her long legs, perfect in complexion, as he neared his tongue ran from her knee to mid thigh, his reward was multiple things but none spoken.

A shiver rolled through her body. "Kiss me," she said almost breathlessly, reaching down to take his face in her hands. The fact he was so much larger than she was didn't seem to be an issue. In fact, Kasia shifted around a bit to accommodate him better.

S'er'in'e padded towards her and loomed over her, placing her between his front paws while his feet both to one side of her. He knew he was of heavy build so stayed up above her and lowered his head instead as he once again placed his lips to hers only this time emotion was running higher than before with the first kiss.

Kasia slipped her hands around the back of his neck, her fingers moving beneath the collar to caress him there. Of course, she didn't make any move to take the item off as she knew what custom dictated from her earlier reading. She returned the kiss and ran a foot along the length of his leg before moving it down again.

Like him, her emotions were running high. Why was she drawn to him the way that she was? Every fiber of her being screamed for her to take him... to make him hers. But... they'd only just met. Wouldn't that be insane? Not to her. Her current line of thought was beginning to distract her from the man who certainly deserved her undivided attention. "Tell me you don't want anyone else," she said after breaking the kiss and moving her face toward his neck when she nuzzled it.

"None other." S'er'in'e replied feeling her face move to his neck which to a Caitian was very private indeed. He had only been on board a brief time, in such he'd met only five women. The First Officer, Assistant Chief Security, Doctor T'Lara, Doctor Megara and this striking woman, Major Petrova. "If you wish to wait, I will understand." It was hard for him to keep his claw tips from poking the sofa's material.

Once again, Kasia shivered beneath him, and it wasn't from being cold. She slid her hands over his back and nuzzled his neck once again before something inside of her took over, and she found herself nipping at him just beneath his collar. Although he hadn't asked her to say that there would be no other man for her aside from him, she vowed there wouldn't be. Not now or ever.

Feeling her nip at his neck and not being able to do anything about it as he was holding his heave weight from off of her he couldn't let her actions go unanswered.His nostrils teamed with her scent, much of his fur and clothing now laced with it from her touching, brushing against him, breathing on him and now, nipping at him. His tail danced over her knees at first but when she started nipping at his neck, it started to slowly rise up her thigh to tuck under the hem of her dress as a low growl rumbled in his throat.

Kasia stopped so she could look at him, but there was no fear. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked, shifting over a little so her could settle down on the couch with her. Given the piece of furniture's size, they'd both be able to fit with lift!e issue.

S'er'in'e looked down at her. "No....no of course not." S'er'in'e backed up a little and coiled his tail about him. He felt like he'd some something wrong, had he done something wrong? He didn't know as this was all new for him. "Did I?"

"No, you didn't. When I heard you growl, I thought maybe I'd done something wrong. It didn't occur to me that that might have been a sound of appreciation," she said softly, reaching out to caress his jaw. "Everything is okay."

"Im sorry, I am not used to this and I can understand how my growling may have been misinterpreted." S'er'in'e felt bad for his action, what was meant as a appreciative growl was taken the wrong way. "Is there another way that would help you understand the sounds I make?"

"I think, given what we were doing, I won't misinterpret the sounds any longer," she said softly, leaning in to kiss him softly as a means to let him know things were okay.

"May we....try something." Once again sticking to the request, may we instead of can we since the female was dominant. It was something he'd seen a few times and seemed romantic in a way but it was between Human pairs, he'd never thought he'd try it himself.

"Yes," Kasia said softly. She had no idea what he had in mind, bit had a feeling she'd be finding out soon.

S'er'in'e sat like normal people would on a chair, his back to the rest, his legs over the edge. "Would.....would you sit...here." He asked his hands in his lap. "I have seen others be in this position and I'd like to try it, if you would like."

Kasia smiled and pushed herself to a sitting position. "I will," she said softly, shifting around a bit until she was straddling his lap. His hands, which were on his lap, were now settled on her hips as that's where she moved them just before setting down.

The position was actually rather comfortable, his legs were fine under her light weight. "Thank you." He spoke once she had settled. "I had seen others do this over the years. I hope you did not mind my asking." He asked, because to request was to demand something from a female and that was a no no.

She shook her head. "I don't mind at all," she said, leaning forward to kiss him.

His hands remained on her hips as she kissed him, if he was to please her then he'd have to learn how to kiss and well enough that she enjoyed it, the last thing he wanted to was to put her off by something he had little experience in doing. His kiss was gentle and he tried to follow her lead between kisses.

"Follow my lead," she said softly, slipping her arms around his neck and leaning in closer. After she was settled, she began to kiss him once more, taking it farther than they had before. Now was the time for her to begin teaching him, and doing so didn't bother, nor put her off a bit.

It would have been impractical to put his arms around her neck, so instead he places his large hands on her back holding her close to him. He felt the kiss and how it developed, he followed and repeated. All of this was a new experience for him but there was a hint of fear that she would fall victim to his sharp teeth or worse, his fangs in her effort to teach him what he needed to know.

Kasia pulled back when she felt a bit of resistance coming from him. "Relax," she urged him softly. "It's okay." With that said, she gave him a reassuring smile and leaned forward to kiss him again, hoping he'd relax a bit more so it would be enjoyable for him, too.

Reassured by her words he indeed relaxed. He told himself that she knew what she was doing, to trust in her actions, what she was doing and how. When she leant forward and the kiss resumed it was different, because he'd relaxed and the effect was obvious to both.

"See?" The Russian woman asked softly against his lips. She smiled and kissed him again, moving from his lips and back down to his neck again. Kasia wasn't sure what got into her, but she ended up biting him right at his nape. Of course, it wouldn't have hurt too bad. More of a perfect balance between the cusp of pleasure and pain.

"I would return that." He spoke and his feline inflections strong in his words. "However that can only be done when claimed." His hands on her sides but the tips of his claws could just ever so lightly be felt on her dress.

Kasia shivered when she felt his claws. "When claimed? By a female?" She asked, running her fingers through his fur.

"Yes." He replied as he held her smaller frame to his larger one. "It does not hurt, but...there must be no fear in her eyes, in light of the position she is in and what I must do." He finished, wondering if she had read anything about that part of being claimed or anything about claiming.

"I don't fear you," she said softly, and that was the truth. There wasn't a whole lot that the Russian woman did truly fear in life, but there were a couple of things. Those... those would never be disclosed.

"As you should not. I am forbidden to hurt you and only under the strictest of situations." S'er'in'e replied with a smile, the tips of his fangs appearing from under his lip. "I....I know my ways appear complicated, but each has a purpose, a meaning. It's those which guide us in our lives. Where ever they take us." His hold on her remained gentle and caring.

Kasia nuzzled his neck. "I know you would never hurt me," she said with a smile. How? She was exactly sure, but just had a feeling. If anything, he got a sense that he wanted to protect her. That would prove quite interesting while on the job. "We're going to have a lot of fun together."

S'er'in'e brought his arm up her back so his hand rested on the back of her head. The pointed tips of his claws easily slipped through the strands of hair and lightly rested on her scalp. His own head turned slightly, his muzzle tucked under her ear. "I hope we do."

She shivered again, closing her eyes and taking in the sensations that were coursing through her. "That feels good, S'er'in'e," she said softly.

"There is something you should know." S'er'in'e spoke as he remained holding her. "Do you remember what I said about scent and it's effect on Caitian Males?" He hoped she would be able to put the two together.

"I do," she said softly. "And I don't know about you, but it does not bother me even a little bit. Before I claim you, let's take a little time and get to know one another better." It was a promise of things to come once they'd gotten to know one another on a personal level.

He held her, not too tightly but enough for comfort. His hold pulled her to sit on his waist, her frame against his, his head over her shoulder. Even his tail coiled about her ankle. "I'd like that." He spoke softly, yet more of his feline inflections. "How do we proceed from here?" Wondering how in Human terms, they get to know one another better so that he can do that very thing.

"We talk... spend time with each other... go out together... there are so many different things we can do," she answered softly, resting against him. He was so warm and cozy. Kasia could easily fall asleep if she gave herself the chance to.

"What did you think of me when you first saw me cleaned up and looking myself in my office?" He asked, she saw him at his worst in the cage and the first to see him cleaned up and looking himself.

"Considering I saw you after you'd been held in a cage for six months, the first thing I thought was how good you must have felt being able to feel some kind of normalcy again," she answered softly as her eyes drifted closed.

To Be Continued
