Chapter 1 - Fuli

It had been a long day.

The lion guard had been defending the pridelands from Scar's army for some time now. The seasons had changed and the guard had grown older and stronger together as a team. Kion's roar had also grown in strength, so after the last attack by Scar's army, King Simba had decided it was time for the pridelanders to go on the offensive, and take the fight to Scar in the outlands, and defeat him once and for all.

Kion and the guard had agreed with this plan; so they had spent most of the day gathering the animals of the pridelands together, everyone who'd agreed to join them in the upcoming fight against Scar. Once gathered, they'd gone over some last minute training and preparations. As things were beginning to wind down for the day, Ono had spotted Janja and his hyenas heading towards pride rock.

Following the hyenas into the guard den, Fuli and the others discovered that it was a trap, the hyenas had lured them there as a distraction from the real attack. A fire had been started at pride rock and the entrance to the den blocked preventing their escape. Janja had managed to get out, but the other hyenas were stuck in there with them. Kion had sent Ono off to make sure the rest of the royal family were safe; eventually, the rest of the guard and the hyenas had managed to escape from the den by swimming through Beshte's bathing pool. Fuli was not happy with this escape plan.

Shortly after, Scar appeared as a fiery spectre above pride rock for everyone to see. He used the attack to gloat to the assembled pridelanders that there was no way to defeat him, causing doubt and panic amongst the animals gathered there. Things were beginning to look grim until Janja and Jasari arrived, apparently, Janja had switched sides and knew of a way to defeat Scar. Fuli didn't know whether she should trust Janja or not, given his history with the guard, but it looked like Jasari trusted him and that seemed to be good enough for Kion.

Janja arrived with information on how to defeat Scar, which managed to calm the pridelanders down enough that the crowd broke apart as the animals went to get some rest. It was quite late by this point, the sun had already set, and they had planned to attack the following morning.

Despite everything that had gone on, Fuli couldn't sleep. Tomorrow promised to be even longer than today was, and she knew she needed rest, but sleep wouldn't come. The adrenaline from this evening's events was only just now starting to wear off; it left her twitchy and with a lot of nervous energy.

She worried about tomorrow, while the guard may have gotten stronger, most of the pridelanders weren't exactly fighters. Worried that, despite all the training, they still weren't ready to face Scar and his army. Janja and his clan defecting would be a big help, but there were still the jackals, the crocodiles, and who knew who else Scar had convinced to join him, not to mention Scar himself. Worried that they might fail, and if they did the pridelands would never be a safe place to live again.

So now, Fuli sat by herself on the bank of the watering hole, trying to decompress after the day's events. She looked out at the scenery in front of her, the moon had long since risen and was reflecting off the still waters of the lake. There was a lot going through her mind, so she closed her eyes and tried to clear her thoughts, and relax.

She focused on the things she could sense around her, she could hear the sounds of the insects, smell the lingering scents of the animals who had been at the watering hole earlier in the day. A light breeze played across her fur and brought with it the scent of smoke from the slowly dying fire around pride rock. She breathed deeply and her mind began to clear as she took it all in.

Breathe in ...

Breathe out ...

Breathe in ...

Breathe out ...

Slowly, she began to feel her muscles relax, the tension in her shoulders and the ache she'd held in her back since escaping from the den both eased off, and the twitches from the adrenaline high abated. She began to gently flex her paws, digging small trenches in the soil with her claws. She was still too wired to actually sleep, but she had started to calm down a little. Eyes still closed, Fuli stayed like this, breathing deeply and listening to the sounds of the savannah as she let go of her anxieties.

"Can't sleep?" Fuli jumped at the sudden noise. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped as all the tension momentarily returned to her body; she'd been so deep in her mind, that she hadn't heard Kion approaching. She turned to see him walking towards her and breathed a small sigh of relief at seeing the familiar face as she relaxed once more.

"Just thinking about tomorrow," Fuli answered. Kion had a grin on his face, obviously pleased that he'd managed to sneak up on the unsuspecting cheetah; though, Fuli noted to herself, the smile didn't quite reach his eyes. She could see the worry in them, he never was very good at hiding his feelings, so she smiled reassuringly back at him as he sat next to her. "Worried about tomorrow, too, huh." It wasn't a question.

"... yeah," Kion admitted as he turned to face her. "I was just taking a quick patrol to try and clear my head. But I couldn't stop thinking about what happened tonight, and everything we're going to have to do tomorrow." He looked across the lake towards pride rock, where the glow from the fires could still be seen. "Scar attacked our home tonight, and we were lucky to escape." Fuli gave a little shudder at the thought of their escape from the guard den. "Attacking the heart of the pridelands like that caused a lot of panic. Janja turning up when he did helped calm everyone down a bit, but I still don't know if we can trust him."

Kion paused for a moment as he took a deep breath. Fuli waited patiently for him to continue, Kion was usually very confident, so she found it unusual to see him show his vulnerabilities like this. They'd known each other for a long time, and Fuli considered him her best friend, so she was pleased she could be there for him.

"I don't know if we're strong enough to defeat Scar." He continued, softly. "I don't know if I'm strong enough, Janja said I have to use the most powerful roar to defeat Scar, but what if that's not enough." Fuli suddenly realised how much pressure Kion was under, the rest of the guard would be there to back him up, but it was down to Kion to actually defeat Scar.

"You are strong enough." Her statement needed no further qualification. This was Kion, of course he was strong enough, she believed that as thoroughly as she believed the sky was blue. She had absolute faith in her friend. "Kion, you're one of the strongest lions I know. We've been through a lot together, and after everything I've seen you do, if anyone has a chance at defeating Scar, it's you." She said reassuringly.

Fuli gently rested one of her paws on top of his and smiled warmly up at him. Kion's grin had gone, but so had the worried look in his eyes. Perhaps all he needed was a friendly ear. "You think Janja has actually switched sides, or do you think this is just another trap?" Fuli asked.

"I ... don't know. Jasari believes him, and I trust Jasari's judgement." Kion was silent for a few moments and Fuli could see the gears turning in his head as he worked something out. "Besides, I think the hyenas were supposed to get trapped with us in the den. They were just as surprised as we were when the fire started. If that's the case, then Scar was trying to get rid of them as well as us."

The pair sat in companionable silence as Fuli let that sink in. The guard had been kicking Janja and his clan out of the pridelands for years, why would Scar do away with them now? Sure they weren't very smart, but they could fight and their loss would weaken his army. It didn't seem possible that he was now fighting on their side.

"Well, whatever happens, we'll be ready for it." She said, finally. "I'm sure Jasiri will keep a close eye on him, and if this is all just another trick, she'll kick his tail for us." This actually caused Kion to chuckle which also made Fuli laugh.

"Yeah, she will. She's kicked his behind almost as many times as we have." Kion said with a grin. The tension of the conversation had broken, and, all of a sudden, Fuli felt like she could almost breathe easier like a weight she didn't even know was there had been lifted from her chest. It was good to see a genuine smile on Kion's face. "Thanks, Fuli." He said after a moment. "I feel a lot better now, I guess I just needed someone to talk things out with."

Fuli also felt better, she was still anxious about the upcoming battle, but her faith in Kion had reassured her. She knew that everything would be okay, that they would succeed tomorrow. "Any time, Kion." The pair returned to silence for a while. Though Fuli spent a lot of her free time by herself, tonight she felt reassured by having Kion sat next to her; him being there eased a lot of her worries.

Fuli was unsure of how long the pair had been sitting together, in the silence she had lost track of the time. While the adrenaline high had worn off, and spending time with Kion had done a lot to ease her mind, this evening's events still left her with a lot of nervous energy.

She thought about going for a run to bleed off some of her extra energy, but despite her restless legs, she was physically exhausted so that would never work. Thinking on it some more, what she really needed, she realised, was a decent orgasm. That always knocked her out and with everything that had been going on lately she'd not had a chance to take care of herself.

"We should get some rest," Kion said at last. Fuli was about to excuse herself to masturbate in private when Kion spoke up, now that the thought had occurred to her it was all she could think about.

"I'm still too buzzed to sleep." She replied. Thinking this might be the perfect opportunity to get some alone time, though, she added, "But you should go back to your family. After tonight they're probably worried about you." She suddenly found herself very horny and shuffled uncomfortably where she was sitting, she really hoped Kion hadn't noticed her predicament.

"You are my family, Fuli." Fuli was surprised by the sincerity in Kion's words. She looked across at him to see him smiling warmly at her. Despite her current frustrations, she felt an immense sense of affection towards him in that moment. "My parents are fine, they won't worry, but you helped me clear my head earlier, so if there's anything I can do to help you now I'd be happy to." Kion continued. "Besides, with everything that went on this evening, I don't think anyone should be alone tonight."

Fuli got up from where she had been sitting and crossed the short distance to Kion to nuzzle him. "Thanks, Kion. You being here has done a lot to calm me down, too. I guess we both just needed someone to talk to." She was grateful for Kion being there this evening, she really did need the company, but at the same time now that she'd realised what she needed to do to get some sleep, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. That was until a thought struck her.

She had known Kion for many years and he was her best friend, but that didn't mean she'd never thought about him in that way before. He was a fine specimen of a lion, athletic and strong, not that she'd ever admit it to anyone, but she'd sneaked a peak under his tail once or twice and what she'd seen had fueled more than a couple of nights by herself.

As well as that, he was also one of the kindest people she knew, always willing to help a pridelander in need, and sometimes even an enemy of the pridelands, that kind of integrity was special. He was smart and a great leader, Fuli believed that under his guidance the guard would be able to survive anything.

Could she spring this on him right now though? Was it really the right time, or were her hormones getting the better of her in the moment? Did she even want this right now? She thought this over and reconsidered, should she even bring this up with Kion? She could just sneak off as she'd originally planned to. On the one hand, with everything going on Kion might not even be in the mood, and that would be perfectly understandable. However, on the other hand, she was trying to distract him from those things. A good romp would definitely clear his head for a bit, she thought, and they might not get this opportunity again. It might not be the best time, but she reasoned it might do them both good. Besides, if she didn't do something soon Kion would almost certainly be able to smell how horny she'd become.

Her mind made up, Fuli nuzzled him again, breathing deeply of his scent, as she sat beside him, their sides touching, and rested her head on his shoulder. She wondered idly whether Kion had ever thought of her in the same way. They'd never discussed sex, while she had no particular shame around the subject, she was a very solitary person, so she never made an effort to bring it up with the others. If Kion found her sudden behaviour strange, she wasn't usually a very tactile animal, he made no indication of such.

She sat like this, with her head on Kion's shoulder, for a few moments as she tried to work out how best to broach the subject of sex with Kion. She had no idea how he would react to such a conversation so she decided to just dive in. Zuka Zama! She made a mental note to thank Bunga later.

"So, Kion." She began without moving her head. "How's your sex life?" She felt him stop breathing for a second, had he been drinking she had a feeling that it probably would have been sprayed everywhere. Kion's reaction to her question caused her to start laughing, which in turn caused him to start laughing. "You know, we never really talk about this stuff, and since neither of us is getting any sleep any time soon, why not now?"

She felt him tense up a little, he was obviously not as open about the subject as she was. "It's been a while for me. A coalition came through the pridelands a few months back, but since then it's just been me." She continued trying to get Kion to relax a little. She held up her two front paws, "but hey, I've got two paws, I can alternate."

Kion cracked a smile at this remark and relaxed into the conversation. "You aren't embarrassed talking about this?" He asked.

"No, Why, should I be?" Fuli asked. "I mean, yeah, it's a bit awkward, but it's totally natural, everyone does it. And besides, you're my best friend, we should be able to talk about this stuff." she reasoned. "It's only as awkward as we make it."

"I guess you're right." He said finally. "Besides, it's not like I can talk about this stuff with anyone else. Bunga would just make a joke out of it, Ono would turn it into a biology lesson and Beshte. Well, I guess Beshte would be alright, but it would just be too weird talking to Beshte about this. And you are the only other cat on the guard." Fuli was relieved to hear Kion begin to open up a bit. She could tell he was still a bit unsure, but this was a good sign.

After that, he was silent again for a few moments until Fuli nudged him gently. "Soooooo?" She looked up at him from her position resting against his shoulder. Looking into his eyes she silently urged him to continue.

"Oh, well I guess, pretty much the same as you." He finally got her hint. "It's been a little while, there's been a lot going on lately, and it's not exactly been a top priority. Besides, I've got two paws, too." He mimicked waving his paws as Fuli had just done, the pair giggled.

"Long time, huh?" Fuli began idly stroking a paw across Kion's shoulder tracing over the mark of the guard. "Wanna do something about that? I was gonna' go take care of myself, but since you're here and probably as pent up as I am ..." She let that statement hang in the air for a moment. "Besides, sticky paws can only get you so far." She spoke with a certain playfulness that she didn't exhibit often and looked up at him with heavy-lidded eyes. A light breeze blew through and carried with it the scent of her arousal, no way Kion missed that she thought to herself.

The breeze ruffled the pair's fur, it was pleasantly cooling and until now she hadn't noticed how warm the evening was. Kion shivered, though she didn't know if it was from the wind or her actions. Slowly, she began moving her paw from his shoulder towards his chest, he still hadn't said anything but she could feel his heart racing. She didn't look down, but she suspected he was probably beginning to show signs of arousal too.

"Fuli, are you feeling alright?" Kion finally spoke with a sniff of the air. Fuli locked eyes with him as he looked down at her. "You're not in heat, are you?" Ever the gentle lion, she knew Kion would never take advantage of her in that state. Still, he hadn't tried to move away from her and even seemed to lean into her a little.

"No, I'm not in heat, I'm just restless. I'm too tired to run it off, but too worked up to sleep." She sighed. Her arousal was clouding her thoughts and she wasn't sure she could properly explain how she was feeling anyway. She really was very tired. Still, her flirtatious demeanour remained as she started drawing shapes in Kion's chest fur. "And now I'm horny and definitely not getting any rest until I take care of that."

This seemed to be enough for Kion, he finally returned Fuli's nuzzle. He covered her paw with one of his own, bringing it to rest directly over his heart. "Well, it has been a long time." He said with a lop-sided grin. "This isn't exactly the best time, but if you're sure this is what you want ..."

"This is exactly the right time." Fuli countered. "We ... might die tomorrow, Kion. And if that happens ... Well, I want to spend my last night doing something fun and enjoyable, not worrying. I want to spend my time with my family." She said, echoing Kion's earlier words. Despite the seriousness of her statement, her words were no longer flirtatious, they were seductive.

Upon hearing this, Kion moved a foreleg around Fuli and brought her into a tight hug against his side. "Well, when you put it like that, who am I to say no to family?" Fuli took a moment to fully digest what Kion had said before she quickly closed the distance between them and fiercely kissed him.

Fuli forced her tongue into Kion's mouth, exploring every corner and taking in his taste, he tasted strong and masculine, just like his scent. This was an unusual sensation for her, her previous encounters had all been very mechanical, and there was very little romance, so she'd not spent a lot of time actually kissing, it surprised her how enjoyable she found it.

Momentarily startled by her ferocity, it took Kion a second to realise what had happened before she felt him reciprocate. His tongue moved against hers with just as much energy, battling for dominance, forcing its way into her mouth before being pushed back again by hers. She enjoyed the sensation of his rough tongue as it moved again the inside of her mouth and the feeling of his breath as it blew across her muzzle. She felt a spike of arousal, no longer worried about trying to mask it she welcomed the feeling.

Separating from Kion with a gasp, she took in heaving lungfuls of air having forgotten to breathe while kissing him. She took a step back and used the opportunity to finally give him a proper look up and down, he was indeed sporting his own arousal, his angry red cock standing proudly, straining out of his sheathe. Much like Fuli herself, he was making no effort to hide it from her. Purring loudly, she looked at him hungrily.

The air suddenly felt charged, like the moments before a lightning storm. Everything else was lost to her, all that mattered was the lion sitting in front of her. All her senses were saturated with him, she could smell him in the air, taste the pheromones he was giving off, the sensation of his tongue in her mouth still a vivid memory. She took a deep breath and shuddered at the feeling.

They leapt at each other once again, their mouths joining in another heated kiss. Fuli could feel Kion's paws roaming over her body, starting at her shoulders and moving down her back to her rump, feeling around her tail. The feeling made her fur stand on end in a good way. One of Kion's paws made its way over her hip and began moving through her underbelly fur, stroking across her teats. She shuddered again, never having had that part of her body stimulated before, even by herself.

Kion's paw spent a few more moments massaging Fuli's nipples, taking a few seconds to rub each one in turn. She couldn't remember them ever being this hard, his paw causing her to quiver in pleasure before beginning to move further down. In anticipation of what was to come, Fuli unconsciously widened her stance slightly, giving Kion as much access to herself as possible. She unintentionally bit his lip as his paw moved between her hind legs and began to rub at her entrance. She was so wet at this point she was practically sitting in a puddle, his paw met no resistance as he masturbated her, gliding smoothly over her.

It only took a few seconds before her world went dark. Her eyes slammed shut, her muscles seized and her back arched as an unexpected orgasm tore through her, her body electrified with pleasure. Her breath caught in her throat and she stopped kissing Kion, she clung to him as powerful pulses of sexual pleasure charged through her. Surrendering to the pleasure, she lost all track of time, she could have been cumming for hours for all she knew.

Eventually, it became too much, her body too sensitive to Kion's touch and she backed away from him. She had no idea she was that worked up, that only a few seconds of stimulation would cause one of the most powerful orgasms she could remember having. Gasping for breath, she slowly opened her eyes, the outside world once again coming back to her. She saw Kion looking both surprised at her violent reaction and proud of himself, one of his paws significantly wetter than the other.

"... Damn!" Was all she could think to say in the moment. She had a delirious smile on her face and as her faculties slowly started coming back to her, she was dimly aware of how wet and matted the fur between her legs had become. "Wow, I had no idea it would be that fast." She said, panting.

"You okay, there? That looked like it took a lot out of you." Kion spoke for the first time since they had started. Fuli felt another strong sense of affection for him well up inside her, even in sex he was still looking out for her wellbeing. That was quickly forgotten, however, as her lust took over once more.

Without answering, she charged at him, capturing his mouth in another kiss. This time, it was her paws doing the exploring. Wasting no time she grasped at his rump, her claws gently dragging through his fur, she quickly moved to between his legs, one paw rubbing at his balls the other his cock. He was dripping with pre, almost as wet as she was there was a sizable wet spot on the ground in front of him.

Kion's cock was rock hard, but still yielded to her touch and his pre was thick and slippery, she used this to help lube her paw as she rubbed up and down causing Kion to moan into her mouth. As she gripped it she was sure she could almost feel his pulse beating through it, though what surprised her the most was how hot it was, it was radiating way more heat than the rest of his body.

She wasn't intentionally trying to bring him off but she did anyway, almost as fast as she had been she felt him tense up and his dick start to throb in her paw. Kion roared as she felt blasts of his hot cum cover her forelegs, they were both obviously both on a bit of a hair trigger. Kion's orgasm seemed to last for minutes before he too gasped for breath and backed away from her.

Fuli looked down at her forelegs to assess the damage, from wrist to elbow they were both a criss-cross of white streaks, and very little of her fur was visible. Clearly, it had been a while for Kion. "Thank you." He panted, he had a goofy look on his face and she guessed that's probably what she looked like a few minutes ago.

Neither said anything for a while, they both just sat looking at each other as they each caught their breath. Now that the edge had been taken off her arousal, Fuli was able to think a bit more clearly, the mess on her forelegs was going to be a bitch to clean off but she didn't care, now wasn't the time to worry about that. She looked Kion over, he looked almost as dishevelled as she felt, though slightly less messy. Despite his prodigious orgasm, his cock was still proudly erect.

"How was that?" She asked as soon as he had his breathing under control once again.

"Better than Tiifu, by a long shot." He answered with his lop-sided grin, She made a mental note to ask him about that later.

"Ready for some more?" Fuli once again spoke seductively with lidded eyes, though it was unnecessary as Kion was clearly ready for more. This time it was he who closed the distance between them. Fuli had been leading their activities so far, she was the hornier of the two she reasoned, but this time she allowed him to lead her into a kiss, this one far less ferocious, though no less passionate, than before. Rather than fighting for dominance, their tongues lazily danced around each other.

She felt herself being gently laid down on her back while Kion stepped over her. Their kiss broke and she looked up at him as he looked down at her, they had all grown so much in the last few seasons but this was the first time she'd really noticed just how big he'd gotten. Well on the way to becoming a fully grown male lion, the muscles in his forelegs were now a lot bigger, his chest broader.

His breath played across her whiskers and the fur around her muzzle and she felt a drop of his pre land between her legs, she was going to need to spend hours grooming herself after this night was over. Breathing deeply she allowed herself to be overcome with his scent, taking the lead again she wrapped all four of her legs around him and brought him down on top of her. The feeling of his body completely covering hers, sharing body heat, feeling his heartbeat through his chest onto hers and his hardness pressing against her almost caused her to orgasm again.

They began to move against each other, peppering each other with small kisses and licks. His hard cock moved wetly between her lips, their sexual fluids mixing together. She felt his barbs as they passed over her sensitive skin sending shots of raw pleasure throughout her body. Her hind legs dropped to the floor, but she held onto him with her forelegs. With one last look between them, silently making sure they both still wanted this, he penetrated her.

There was a brief moment of pain as Kion's penis entered her vagina, he was much bigger than any of the cheetahs she'd been with previously and Fuli was unprepared for how much she'd have to stretch to accommodate him. But this was soon forgotten and she actually found she enjoyed the feeling of such fullness. Kion moved slowly, without stopping, until he bottomed out inside her, his sheathe coming to rest against her entrance.

They paused for a second to catch their breath, each getting used to the new sensation. Once Fuli had adjusted to having Kion completely within her she began moving her hips, small movements at first but this encouraged him to begin moving as well in small, gentle thrusts. Their movements quickly built up speed and she felt Kion lengthen his thrusts until just his tip remained inside her before he slipped fully back in.

She gripped Kion tightly with her forelegs, her claws beginning to dig into his shoulders, though if he felt any discomfort from this he didn't show it. The outside world was completely lost to her now, all that mattered was Kion and she showed that by kissing and licking and nibbling whatever she could reach.

Sex with Kion felt so much better than with any of Fuli's previous partners, her prior trysts had been functional, a means to an end, not bad by any means, just very shallow. With Kion, they weren't making love, they weren't in love with each other, but this was more than just empty fucking. It was deeper, more satisfying and she put that down to her connection with him. While she wasn't in love with him, she did love him as a dear friend, as family, as the brother she never had. Some part of her wondered if he was feeling the same, though it was difficult for her to dwell on these thoughts in the moment.

She felt Kion's movements become increasingly more erratic, his thrusts once measured were now random and uneven, she had been on the knife's edge of orgasm herself for a while now. She felt Kion move to bury his head in her shoulder and bite down on her neck, not hard but it was enough.

Fuli's orgasm hit her like a charging hippo, her eyes clenched shut so tightly she saw spots, her back arched again and she moaned so loudly she was sure they could hear her at pride rock. Her vagina grasped at Kion's cock, the feeling of his barbs as she rhythmically gripped at him caused her pleasure to spike. She came again, and again, not knowing when one orgasm ended and the next began. She was dimly aware of Kion above her, he had roared out his orgasm at the same time as hers and she felt the white-hot ropes of his cum inside her, leaking out around their connection.

Finally, after what seemed like days, the pleasure died down and, panting, she started to laugh, not because it was bad sex, far from it, but because it was the only way she could express her emotions in that moment. Her mirth was contagious as Kion started to laugh along with her, she laughed so much there were tears in her eyes.

"Family, huh?" Fuli panted as she caught her breath. "You ever do that with Kiara?" She grinned as she asked the question. She looked up at Kion and saw a look of embarrassment in his eyes, he was silent a few seconds too long "NO?!" she exclaimed, starting a new round of giggles.

"... No." Kion finally answered, she felt him slip out of her as he rolled to his side, attempting to cover his face with his paws. His seed flooded out of her as he moved, covering the base of her tail, great more I have to clean up in the morning, she thought. She rolled onto her side to face him.

"You've thought about it, though." She was teasing, but there was no malice to her words. As the pair slowly got their breath back and the giggles subsided again she rested a paw on his shoulder, right over the mark of the guard. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, Kiara's a good-looking lion." Fuli reasoned.

"I guess you're right, but it's still a bit weird, she's my sister." He uncovered his face as he spoke.

"It's not that weird, I think of you as a brother. It's like you said, we're family." As Fuli spoke, Kion wrapped a foreleg around her in a hug and rolled onto his back taking her with him. She snuggled up close to him, resting her head on his chest, in the afterglow of their sex the sound of his heartbeat was like a lullaby to her. The day's exhaustion catching up with her, and her eyes finally began to droop. She gave a big yawn as she cuddled up close to him.

"Thank you, Kion." she said before sleep finally took her for the night.
