Lion-O lounged in his private bedchamber. He had to perform his husbandly duty again tonight. Thoughts of Kareala danced in his head. He sighed. She had returned to the grotto every night for the last two weeks. Each night they only talked and held each other. She had refused to give in to her passion. Her loyalty to Amnextria caused her no end of guilt.
Lion-O accepted her decision, just being in her presence was enough for him. He would give up his crown to be with her. Moments away from her were shear torture. A knock on the door jostled him out of his dreams of Kareala. Odd, Amenxtria never knocks, he thought as he walked to the door. The was a beautiful female lioness on the outside. The female was scanitly dressed and most of the material of her clothing was sheer. Since returning to New Thundera many of the females, much to Lion-O's delight were uninhibited. It was nothing for the females to go topless. For a male cat to grow up with only three females, all nobles and none ever topless, it was as if he experienced a whole new childhood.
But now, there was only Kareala. She would be the only female for him. Once Amnextria was pregnant. Kareala would be the only female he would mate with, period. And for the promiscious young lion lord that was saying something. Lion-O arched an eyebrow at the female.
She bowed her head, "Milord, Her Majesty sends her apologies but she is ill this evening. I am her kin, Lady Alia. She sent me to...submit to you."
Lion-O exhaled loudly. Amenxtria wasn't ill that he was sure of. She hated their mating almost as much as he, if not more. "Lady Alia, I thank you for your...loyalty to my queen but your service or submission to me is not required this evening or any other. You may return to your quarters," he finished turning to shut the door.
Lady Alia held her out keeping the door opoen causing Lion-O to give her a questioning look. She closed the distance between them and ran her fingers over his chest, "Surely, milord does not wish to spend the evening alone. There are a great many things we could do. I could..."
Lion-O grabbed her hands and pushed her away, "Forgive me, milady but no. You are dismissed." He said it as gently as possible but with enough force that Lady Alia backed away. She bowed and walked back down the hall.
Lion-O never bothered to shut the door. He ran down the hall in the other direction. Two honor guards, a cheetah and a serval, looked at him and prepared to come to his aid or go with him. He turned silently waving them back before sprinting again for the exit. He could not wait to see Kareala and he didn't have to mate with Amnextria tonight. That in itself was enough reason for his extra gleeful mood. He reached the grotto where he first spoke with Kareala. He inhaled deeply, her scent was aloft in the air, she was here.
"Milord, why the rush? You are early tonight," she said stepping around a tree.
He rushed to her side, out of breath and unable to speak he only held her. She rested her head on his shoulder and inhaled deeply, she pulled back surprised.
"Amnextria's scent is nowhere on you, did you and she not..."
Lion-O silenced her with a kiss. Deep and passionate. She held back at first but then gave in. Unbeknowst to him it was the scent of her queen on his body that repelled her. She could no more deny her passion for Lion-O than she could the need to breath. She pulled back and untied the strings that held her dress up.
"I thought you couldn't..."
This time it was Kareala who silenced Lion-O with kisses. She lowered herself on the ground pulling Lion-O down with her. Tonight, she would give in to her passion, tonight she would yield to the Lord of the Thundercats.
Lady Alia raced down the hall to the chambers that housed the Queen's attendants. She bolted through the door and ran to her cousin's private room. Odd, she swore she could hear the sounds of mating inside but Amnextria would not dare take another male as a lover. She would be exiled as queen, something she knew her cousin held dear. One of the only things her cousin held dear.
Alia held no love for Amnextria, her cousin was always cold with her. And she gave her the oddest looks when the bathed together, especially Oona. Amnextria's closest friend. Alia refused to disrobe anywhere near the oddly muscular female lion.
She leaned in closer to the door. The sighs and gasps were definitely the sounds of mating. Amnextria was betraying Lion-O. Alia wanted the young lord from the moment she layed eyes on him but her cousin had the the title and upbringing to be a queen not her. She only agreed to this because she wished to bed the lion lord. If she bore his cub so be it, but the delights Lion-O would give her...but he rejected her. There were many other males on New Thundera. Alia was not like other lion females, she wouldn't share a male, she would have as many as she wanted. She no longer wished to be a part of this. She knocked on the door. The room was suddenly quiet. Afte several moments she knocked again.
"Yes," the familiar voice of her cousin called out, clearly impatient.
"It's me, cous...Your Majesty," Alia caught herself. Since becoming queen, Amnextria insisted she address her properly.
"Shouldn't you be occupied at the moment," Amnextria stated clearly displeased wit her.
"His Majesty rejected me. He dismissed me from his presence," she informed her cousin. No answer was forthcoming, so Alia called out again, "My queen did you hear me?"
"Yes, yes! Return to your chamber. You have failed me cousin. Dismissed!," she called out haughtily. Alia dropped her head and sulked away to her chamber. Meanwhile inside the door. Two nude lion females lay entwined together.
"What will you do now, milady?," Oona whispered softly.
"I do not know! Why would Lion-O refuse Alia? She looks enough like me and he is only a male after all. Lion-O would rut with a female mutant if she presented herself to him," Amnextria lay on her back fingers tapping her bare stomach which glistened with sweat.
"What will you do now, milady. You seem so anxious, not the confident queen I have grown to love," Oona cooed as she lay on her side next to Amnextria.
"I am anxious. What will I do now?," Amnextria said.
Oona leaned over and starting kissing Amnextria's breast, cuppng them with her hands. The lion queen reached out to grabbed her hands but Oona was faster. She grabbed Amnextria's hands and pinned them to her side.
"What do you think you are doing?" Amnextria said coldly.
Oona started kissed her breasts, slowing working her way down. She lingered near her navel and sensously licked it. Amnextria gasped despite herself. Oona went lower yet until Amnextria arched her body in delight as the her female lion lover relieved her...anxiety.
