While Jessica and Bao were together, Tigress opened the door to her small apartment. The TV and couch were to the left, a wall to the right, and the kitchen was further in the back next to a long hall where Po assumed the bedroom was. "Huh."

"What?"

"Nothing, I just thought... I thought chairwomen would have a... bigger place," Po replied.

Tigress rolled her eyes with a smirk. "This is temporary."

"Hmm," Po hummed, sitting on the couch. Tigress gently sat down, folding her legs to the side while her arm stretched over the top of the couch. "There's one thing I don't get," Po said, "If you knew I was here, why did it take you so long to find me?"

"I was traveling the world studying different businesses. Over time, I... missed home and came back. Actually, I wasn't expecting you to still be here."

"But you figured that someone who knew me would know," Po finished. Tigress nodded. The panda sighed, "I'm still sorry for what happened, Tigress. I should've-"

"You know what really scared me, Po," Tigress said in a more serious tone. "For a moment, I thought I did something wrong to you."

"What? No, no, you could never do anything wrong to me."

"Hmm, I beg to differ. I should have ran after you, though. I should've-"

"You know what." Po interrupted, "It's in the past."

"But it's still affecting the future."

"Well, maybe we can change some stuff in the present?" Po smiled. "Hmmm, why does that sound familiar?"

"Hehe."

They talked about their lives. Po told her about his adventures with the company, his lessons, his changes. He briefly mentioned Tai-Lung which sent Tigress into a boiling rage. Thankfully, he was able to calm her down, explaining it was Tai-Lung that helped him get to this point in life. Tigress told him about some of her exploits with both his and her own company, about her luck with men, and struggling to find someone who could complement her.

"Don't you mean complete you?"

Tigress shook her head. "No one can complete you, just complement you. A glove doesn't need a hand, and a hand doesn't need a glove. I'm here to be with someone else." Her eyes stayed on Po's when she finished. The panda pulled at his unbuttoned shirt collar and made a nervous laugh that placed a small smirk on Tigress's face.

They made a joke about how Jessica repaid Tai-Lung for his bullying by whacking him with a bat to his balls. Tigress was so surprised to hear that the snow leopard ended up with a panda, and she mildly commended him.

Mildly.

"Ugh, I just... wish I had stayed instead of running away."

"I think it was meant to be. You were dealing with a crap ton of issues that needed time, but without those issues, you wouldn't have made it this far. You wouldn't have become the better version of yourself."

"Hehe, thanks," Po smiled a bit heavily. "It took a lot to get here."

"Especially giving up porn?" Tigress smirked.

"HEY!" Po exclaimed, blushing a bit.

"I'm just kidding Po. I know there were other trials involved." The panda still pouted. "What made you want to give it up?"

"Besides already having to hear it from my sister's wild sex life in the middle of the night?" Po asked. Tigress nodded. The panda sighed and shrugged. "I just... didn't want to stay stuck in a fantasy, in an illusion. I knew it was fake, but I just... it was a symptom, a distraction from the real problem. Part of something bigger. The issue wasn't the porn. It was me. I mean, it was how I thought about myself. I don't know. Either way, when I gave it up, I started realizing that, in a way, you get to live out a lot of those fantasies you see."

Tigress rose her eyebrow.

"Yeah sure, you're not gonna find many people wanting to do your foot fetish or roleplay, but it's still better than your hand. Once you let the fantasy die and wait, you get to live out something better than it in the reality. One way or another."

"What about your sis-"

"She's not the best example, okay," Po chuckled, "She does it because... well, sex is really life for her... I don't know. Maybe I'm just being mean to her. You know how much she's been through.

"Oh! Right, she finally left that abusive jerk?" Po nodded. "That's good."

"Yeah, but we don't say his name anymore. He's not worth it," Po grunted. Tigress nodded.

The two grew looser over time, talking and talking, even growing physically closer on the couch. Po removed his shoes and jacket and unbuttoned the first three buttons of his dress shirt a while ago, and Tigress kicked off her bright red high heels. Po looked at his watch.

9:20 pm.

A question that had been burning in his mind came out. "Hey, Tigress? Why did you want me to come here?"

"To talk?"

"I mean, come here," Po pointed to her place. "Why here?"

A long mischievous grin grew on the tiger's face as she drew forward and kissed him. Po didn't mind. Ever since the kiss in the parking lot, he was more open to it. He responded eagerly. She withdrew, still smirking to her heart's content as she whispered in his ear. "I want to finish up what we started in that closet."

Po's eyes shot open. Her hand lightly rubbed his crotch. Her other hand rested on his chest while her lips kissed him; they were succulent and alluring, almost as if she was kissing his soul out of his heart. Po gasped and panted, loosely eying the tiger's sensual grin. "Are... are you-

"Don't ask me if I'm sure," Tigress remarked. "I'm not losing you this time."

Po smirked and caressed her face. "And I'm not leaving this time." Tigress purred and pulled up the panda, silently guiding them to her room. She pulled him by the hand, but the panda snuck up, wrapped his arms around her slim waist and dry-humped her ass, feeling her thick juicy asscheeks between their clothes.

"Mmmmm, you've grown."

"So have you," Po said, grazing his hands underneath her large bust.

"What?"

"Nothing, just," His eyes traced up to her now slim belly. "Just, didn't think you'd be able to stand after last night." Tigress rose her eyebrow. "Wow! I didn't mean it like a cocky jerk, but it's just-"

"You already know I'm not like the other women."

"No woman is like any other woman," Po said in a more serious tone. Tigress stood silent. "Sorry, just... wanna make sure I take those lessons home, you know? Spent enough time trying to figure out what all women want in a guy."

"UGH!" Tigress groaned and walked into the bathroom. As she turned on the water, Tigress carried on, "I hate that. 'What women want in men?' Why is it such a chore?"

"Because it's confusing sometimes."

"It's confusing because guys think girls are simple just like them, but guys are just as complex as girls, right?"

"R-Right?"

"It's confusing because every woman wants something different. Trust me, the girls that Jessica sleeps with all like her for different reasons. Men try to think in simple terms to figure things out, but that doesn't work for people. Women aren't complicated and men aren't simple. It's confusing because people don't take the time to learn and listen from one person to the other. One size doesn't fit all." She heaved her boobs to make the point and then dove back into the bathroom. "Besides, if you were to apply that same rule to men, men would be highly upset that women simplified them to 'just complicated'."

"But aren't we simple?"

"No!" She shouted from the bathroom, making Po flinch. "Men are just as complex. They just don't know it or they don't want other people to know. You can't apply a rule to others that you wouldn't apply to yourself. If you listen and clearly communicate what you want, you'll save yourself the frustrations. That goes for both men and women. So don't get hung up about it."

"Right, right," Po nodded. Suddenly, the water stopped and Tigress walked out of the bathroom, leaning against the doorframe. Po got up and looked at his hand.

"What's wrong?" Tigress asked.

"Nothing, I just feel... lighter. More confident."

"You've been through a lot."

"Yeah," Po smiled. "So how about that bath?"

(Sexy time at AO3)

Tigress passed out. The stars in her eyes put her to sleep. Po caught her and made sure she didn't hit the ground. "Damn, I love her so much. She's so cute when she's like this," Po smiled. "Now, that bath." Po took her to the bath and sat inside with her; thankfully the water was still warm.

Tigress's large belly of cum slowly seeped out in the water, and Po turned on the showerhead while the water drained. A couple of minutes in the warmth woke the tiger up. "You're up."

"Mmhmm."

"Are you okay?"

"Mmmmhmmm."

"Loving the soreness in your ass and pussy?" Po smirked.

"MMMMMMMM." She shivered, curling her toes. "I love it when you release your wild side."

"Why?"

"I love the contrast. A cute soft panda being a strong confident person? It's hot and challenging."

"And you always take on a challenge."

"You know me too well," Tigress purred, resting her head on his chest. "I hope Jessica doesn't need you for something. I'm keeping you for a week."

"Why a whole week?"

"We have a lot to make up for," She purred.

Po smiled. "I can't wait."
