Tasting the Alien
The Ragrim Conflict Series
By Nessa Claugh
Being kidnapped for an alien bride program was one thing; she didn't expect to meet a hot alien woman while being rescued.
Where do humans fit on the human-alien cuisine menu?
Aliens had weird food. At least that’s what Joan told herself when she went to find the four-armed alien pilot who’d helped get the stranded humans settled onto the Relief. Finding her was one thing. By the end of their meeting, she found herself with a job cooking for the humans on board, an alien sous-chef with no kitchen skills, and a crush that wouldn’t go away.
This is a short story set in the RAGRIM CONFLICT series. It can be read alone but is best read after ENSNARED BY THE ALIEN MEDIC. It is a short F/F slice-of-life story that takes place in space.
