Flower petals were everywhere. She was bathed in them. The petals covered her erect nipples and her half-lidded eyes stared at her one audience member. He approached, pressing his lips together to control himself. The bed she laid on was completely covered with fiery red flower tips. It was shaped into a heart and the petals teasingly danced and draped over her fur while covering her more sensitive regions. "Seems like you're eager to begin," said the large bear.

The tiger purred seductively as she motioned him closer with a finger. He came closer. His weight cuddled her like a blanket. But the blanket soon grew too thick along with the darkness.

Tigress's eyes bolted open. Her bedroom ceiling entered her eyes. She groaned as she got up from her bed and wiped her eyes. Another dream. She shook her head and struggled up to her feet. Smoothing out the wrinkles in her clothes, she walked out of the door and went to the kitchen where she made a plate of food.

But no panda.

She frowned, trying to see if the panda was hiding somewhere. Taking her breakfast, she quietly ate at the table.

"What am I going to do?" Tigress muttered. Her heat would last a while. She thought of different scenarios but she couldn't find a solution to this problem.

There is one.

Tigress shook her head and gave a sharp sigh. "No, I can't do that." Getting him involved wouldn't help her. Truth be told, with her heat like this, it was hard to figure out the truth. Sure, the dreams weren't anything new, but the fact that they were all involving a black and white bear was...also not new as of the past five years. But he was here. With her.

Tigress shook her head and finished her meal. Casting her plate into the sink, she stretched and strolled to the Training Hall. The air on the Jade Palace mountain was silent and still. Often, with Viper, she could train or do some relaxation techniques that helped her get through this. She could still do them, but they were more comforting with Viper around. The snake's calming motherly nature helped the tiger not be too hard on herself.

Her and one other person.

Tigress shook her head. "No. It would be awkward. And..." She shook her head again and opened the Training Hall doors.

Nothing.

Tigress furrowed her eyebrows. She walked over to the Hall of Heroes and saw no one there. "Where is he?" She searched all over the Jade Palace grounds but found no black and white bear to speak of. It wasn't until she passed the records room that she found someone. Tigress peered into a small rectangular room with bookshelves lining the walls in a dull rusty crimson rock; this part of the Jade Palace was underground. Po sat with a lantern beside him, napping among a mess of scrolls. The tiger gently stepped over the mess and shook the panda.

"Huh? What? What's going on?" His eyes sleepily met the feline's. "Tigress? Is that you?"

"It is. What are you doing, Po?"

"Oh, just... doing some research," Po yawned.

"About?"

"Uh... stuff that's a little uncomfortable." He saw Tigress picking up a scroll. "I wouldn't do that I-"

"This is a scroll detailing... feline anatomy?" The tiger stared at the grimacing panda. "Po... what are you doing?"

"I'm... I uh...Nothing?"

"Po."

The panda sighed, "Alright. I'm... trying to figure out how I can help with your... heat."

"Oh. Why?"

"I don't know. I just... want to make sure you're not uncomfortable around me or something. And I don't want you to suffer alone when I can do something," Po said. Tigress could feel her heart melting a bit. She smiled and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"I really appreciate it, Po. But you shouldn't sacrifice sleep and rest for my sake."

"I know," Po rubbed his eyes. "I'll pick these stuff up. I'm guessing it's midnight?"

"It's morning."

"What?! I've been up all night?"

"It seems that way," Tigress said crossing her arms. She couldn't remove the smile on her face. As she helped the panda get the scrolls back up, she found herself asking a bunch of questions that she wouldn't voice.

Of course, the panda offered some relief to that problem. "Sooo I guess you're wondering how I found this place."

"That's ONE of the things I'm wondering."

"Well, one time, Shifu wanted me to put some stuff back and... long story short, I got lost here and it wasn't until Zeng found me that I figured out how to get back outside." Tigress nodded. "Anyway, while I was stuck down here, I saw these scrolls had a lot of stuff about animals. Even tigers."

"And... their heat."

"Uh... yeah," Po gulped, rubbing the back of his head.

Tigress took a sobering breath as they finished their cleanup. They stepped outside, neither of them wanting to break the silence until they got to the Hall of Heroes. Tigress finally let out a sigh, "What did you learn?"

Po groaned, "Nothing much. For tigers, heat is typically more intense the healthier they are. It did say that relaxation can help for single girls."

"Any examples?"

"Hot bath, relaxing walks, meditation. But also stress can help, like exercise, fighting bandits, and dealing with me."

Tigress smirked, "I'm sure it didn't say that."

"Well, the key is to take your mind off of it. Or change your relationship to it."

"My relationship?"

"Yeah, if the heat occupies too much space in your mind, it will only make things worse. Better to do stuff that connects you to reality."

"Like... meditation and exercise?" Po nodded. Tigress stared for a while, crossing her arms, "Why would you look up something like this? Wasn't it uncomfortable for you?"

"I mean... not really... after a while. It's just... I want to help. You're my best friend. I know if I was going through something similar you would give me a listening punch."

Tigress sniggered a bit, "A listening punch?"

"You tend to punch me anytime I sink too far into the 'woe is my life' bit. But the punch brings me back to reality."

"I'm glad I can do that," Tigress smiled. "And... thank you for this, Po. I didn't know how much you cared."

"Of course, Tigress. I care about you. A lot."

The quiet that followed wasn't unwelcome. They stared at each other, both smiling. Neither wanted to break the silence. Tigress took a deep sigh, disturbing the quiet and worrying the panda. "I should get back to... managing this then."

Po nodded. "I'll go down to the village to get some stuff and see my dads. I'll be back up for lunch. I'll try my best to stay out of your way."

"It's okay, Po. You're... you're proving to be just what I needed," Tigress smiled. The panda gave a wide grin before she left. She felt herself smiling again as she passed the Training Hall. She took a sharp sigh. Whenever she was in this heat, her first instinct was train. It didn't work, but it would help her get through most of the day.

But maybe something else would help. Tigress made her way to the Peach tree. She sat in a Lotus position and breathed, feeling the earth root her mind in the present. She slowly settled on the breath. Thoughts churned and tossed around in her mind, but remembering what she told Po, she stayed present with them until their course was done.

Some of them stayed a little longer than most.

The thought of Po entered her mind. His recent trials with meditation. In her mind, she could see Po meditating and focusing on his breath or something. In a clear flowering meadow sat a panda. The air swirled around him. On closer inspection, something became obvious.

The panda was naked.

This was something that some people did in meditation, though it was normally done privately.

Or with couples.

Po calmed himself, trying his best to focus on his breathing. His hands were on his knees as he concentrated, but he heard the soft steps of a familiar feline. She creeped up to him, her purr pouring into his ear as she teasingly licked it. She crawled into his lap, straddling his waist as her legs crossed behind him. Po peeked an eye open and smirked, "Tigress."

"Yes, Po?" She hummed amusingly.

"Is there a reason why you're naked?"

"To be more comfortable with you, of course." She leaned close. "And I can tell that you're enjoying it."

"Hmm."

"But I'll try not to disturb your session. Although I am curious as to how much you can concentrate," Tigress grinned. Po gulped. He felt her lift her hips and brush her soft rear against his erect member. Tigress looked down and grinned. His manhood looked so prime and eager for her, bouncing with an impatient twitch. Humming sensually, she wrapped her arms around his neck for stability. Her hips slowly came down on his tip, spreading her wet lips apart. Each moment, the tiger exhaled a moan with every inch slowly entering her cavern. It filled her emptiness in a new way. A hunger finally satisfied by the heat, swell, and girth of his manhood. "Ooooooh Po." Pulses shot up to her spine as she descended further. His member pushed apart her smothering walls. He lovingly throbbed with each heartbeat and second inside. Tigress gulped for air. Her fingers curled as she gasped and descended, finally reaching the panda's base. "Mmmmm. So good."

"You feel amazing, Tigress," Po grunted.

"Ah, ah, ah," she grinned, "You stay right there. I'll do all the work, and you just focus."

"But-"

"Shhhhhh," the tiger placed a finger to his lips. "Just relax, focus, and breeeattthe."

"Oooohh that's awesome," Po gasped as Tigress rose and lowered her hips. The feline's lips formed a perfect O as she lightly rode the panda's member. The veiny girth spread her wide as pleasure tickled up her spine. Her soft hot inner chamber clamped around him, struggling to keep him inside. But the tiger whimpered as she pulled her hips up only to send them back down. His bulbous head pressed her little sensitive inner ridges, making her gasp and snarl with delight. Slow and steady, she felt the inner spring wind up as the pleasure slowly built inside of her core. And there was only more pleasure to be had.

"Ahh, Po. It feels so good. Mmm. Yes. Just like that," A dangerous grin slipped onto her lips. "You like that, don't you?" The panda, biting his lip, nodded. "Mmmm, so much you just want to cum inside me?"

"I ahh always do."

"Mmmm," The tiger's grin grew as her pace grew rougher. She gasped and slowed the pace back down, releasing a shaky moan. "Oooohhhhh Po. Mmmm."

"You're having a hard time, too, aren't you?" Po smirked. The tiger smirked back and claimed his lips in a heated kiss. Her hands caressed his face as she still rocked her hips around his pulsating member. The panda's mouth placed feathery kisses down her jawline and to her neck. He clamped his mouth onto her collarbone. An intense pulse shot from Tigress's core to her brain. She squealed and bit her bottom lip in a muffled moan as her eyes rolled back. "You like that?"

"Yes."

"You want more of that."

"Y-Yes," Tigress whimpered, gritting her teeth. "Ahh, but you're supposed to be meditating Ooohhh."

"I can meditate mmm on how good you feel."

"Heh heh heh, Mmmmm silly panda," Tigress giggled and gasped. She leaned back, catching her weight on Po's knees with her hands. The panda swiftly grasped her hips and sped up the pace. "Ahh! Po Wait AOooooohhhh mmmm!"

"Do you want me to stop?"

"N-N-Mmmmmm."

"I'll take that as a yes?" Po smiled, slowing his hips down.

"NO! Please don't stop!" She bounced hard on him, egging him to keep his pace. The two pressed their hips together, one bouncing the other. The idea of meditation was all but a distant memory as Tigress rolled her head back. She gasped at the teeth lightly surrounding her neck as she fell onto her back with the panda thrusting and hovering above her. "Y-Yes! Don't stop!" Tigress panted. She wrapped her arms and legs around him, letting the panda have his way. "Don't stop! Don't stop! I'm so close!"

"You want me?"

"Yes!"

"Say it."

"I-I-I-I want you!"

"Louder!"

"I Want You!"

"Say it as you cum," Po growled, latching his teeth onto her collarbone.

"I WANT YOU PO! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tigress's eyes slammed shut for a long time before she woke up on her back staring at the sky. Her clothes were still on and Po was nowhere to be seen. Where was she again?

She lifted herself and saw the view from the Peach Tree and...

Right, she was supposed to be meditating. Shaking her head, the tiger grumbled to herself as the ecstasy swirled around her brain. As she stood up, she wobbled, glancing at the sun. It was close to noon. She lightly rubbed her throat. It was sore. Her eyes shot wide open. Had she been screaming the whole thing?

Suddenly, she felt a dampness near her crotch. She gently reached down and felt the wetness sliding down her leg, tickling her again.

It wasn't until now she found herself panting. Shaking her head again, she rolled her tense shoulders and tensed her loosened legs and knees. She paused for one moment.

"I... do feel a little better," She mumbled, though it wasn't confident. With her body still shaking from the small buzz, Tigress shook her head for the final time and walked down the mountain to get her food.
