Passion and Tragedy
This is a highly explicit story involving different characters. If you are under 18 or have a problem with very descriptive scenes and bad language, please leave now. This is a very sad story, full of horrible lust and soft passion. Although some people may not like the ending, I find it painfully bittersweet. Here we go.... Passion and Tragedy It was a great day on the African savanna. In the tall grass, a sleek feline form stalked a lone ringnecked dove. Chefuru waited, and then dived, hands outstretched, for the bird. Suddenly, he found himself locked in combat with a writhing, twisting body. Chefuru snarled, swatting at its face with a hard hand. Suddenly, the cheetah stared down into the eyes of a beautiful shecheetah. He let her up quickly, mumbling excuses. "I......er......I'm....sorry......I
" The beautiful cheetah laughed aloud, her hand upon the dead bird. "Hello. I'm Jinika. What's your name?" Chefuru lowered his eyes. "Chefuru." He felt so embarrassed of his name, which seemed very cublike next to the title 'Jinika.' Jinika pulled her hand off of the bird. "Well, I'd better let you eat in peace, Chefuru." Although his eyes were rapidly traveling over every curve and inch of the shecheetah's sexy body, Chefuru could not help but feel hunger as he smelled the scent of fresh meat. "Yeah, I....yeah. See you, Jinika." The pretty cheetah flashed him a heartstopping smile. "Later, Chefuru." The malecheetah watched her go, his eyes fixed on Jinika's gently waving tail and swinging hips. ********************************************************************************* Jinika sat beside a quiet blue pool, washing her face free of the blood from the gazelle she had just killed. "Hello, Jinika," a raspy voice breathed right in her ear. The shetcheetah leapt up, shuddered, and then dropped her head when she saw who it was. "Hello, Taan." The huge male lion strode into the tall grass beside the pool, rubbing his mane along Jinika's shoulder. "Where have you been, cheetah, and where is my food?" Jinika pointed at the half-eaten gazelle. "There is your meat, Taan." The lion licked and gulped the meat down hurriedly as the cheetah watched him. Flicking the bones into the pool, Taan moved beside Jinika. "How have you been, my pet?" Jinika's fur raised at his evil voice. "I have been very well, Taan, milord." The lion smirked. "You do know who your master is, Jinika?" He ran his hands along her arms. Jinika stiffened. "I do, Taan." The lion chuckled quietly, running a sharp claw along the side of her neck. "I saw you with that malecheetah, Jinika. What were you doing with him?" The shetcheetah shuddered. "I spoke to him, Taan, after we both killed the same bird." Taan nodded, nuzzling the cheetah's throat. "It's a good thing that's all you did, pet. You know how I have a.....taste.....for cheetah." Jinika stiffened as Taan ran a long tongue along the back of her head and neck. "You know what to do now, Jinika, my pet." Jinika nodded slowly. "Yes, milord." Taan flopped down in a big chair made from a palm frond and shaded by a large banana leaf. Jinika looked away as her master stroked his long, thick, dripping red shaft. She heard him grunt as he came into a handful of long bankgrass, then heard his voice. "Come here, Jinika, pet." The cheetah went to him, kneeling between his spread thighs and placing her hands on either side of his huge member. She lowered her mouth onto it, running her tongue along its long sides. Taan moaned as his slave worked her way along his leonine erection. He placed a hand upon her head, guiding the cheetah more firmly down upon him. "Suck it well, my pet." Jinika kneaded his giant sac with her hands, feeling Taan push her mouth farther down on him. She almost choked, but was determined not to show it. Wrapping her hands around the base of Taan's shaft, she drew him into her mouth, tasting his salty precum as he thrust gently upwards. Taan groaned, his claws digging into Jinika's ears as she sucked expertly. Without warning, the lion came, lunging his hips upward with a roar. The cheetah between his thighs gagged on the gushing flood of thick seed that poured from the top of his swollen member into her mouth. She stifled a disgusted moan and swallowed, over and over again, feeling the hot spooge spill down her throat into her stomach, where it would rest, painful and nauseating. Taan stroked her head, panting. 'I've taught you well, Jinika. Now, clean me up, bitch." Without a word, the shetcheetah put her tongue upon the lion's huge member and licked her master clean. Taan heaved himself out of the chair. Jinika lowered her head. "Is my master Taan finished with his pleasures?" The lion grabbed her roughly. "Not quite, female. Get down on your knees and turn around!" Jinika did as she was told, kneeling before the cruel lion and presenting her shapely rump to him. The cheetah gripped the grass in grim anticipation, cursing Taan's name as he grasped her thighs and entered. He had done this so many times that it caused Jinika no pain, only hot shame. She remembered the day the lion had first caught her. She had been only a cub then, barely into femalehood, when Taan had leapt from the tall grass and grabbed her from where she was playing with her brothers and sisters. Her mother had jumped to the rescue of her young daughter, but Taan had struck her down and run off. Once in his dark lair, he had fucked her viciously, laughing at her agonized cries as he robbed her of her cubhood. Since then, she had been condemned as a sexslave to him, giving him pleasure when he wanted it, hunting for him, just like any other lioness. But, every night, Taan chained her to the post of his bed by a ring around her neck. There was no escape. Jinika closed her eyes, feeling Taan's heavy sac slap her rump every time he thrusted into her. She winced against the hot stream of seed that shot deep into her abused body. When it was all over, Taan rose, Jinika cleaned him off again, and then the lion dragged her into his bedroom. The cheetah waited patiently, head bowed, in the center of the room, while her master pulled the ring and its long chain from under his bed. "Now, Jinika, get some rest," Taan said, snapping the heavy iron ring around Jinika's neck. "You'll need it for in the morning. I'm going to have a few friends over, my pet bitch! Sweet dreams! Hahahahahahah!" Jinika waited until he had fallen asleep, then lay down on the cold ground at the foot of his bed. Tears fell from her eyes as she gazed up at the full moon, listening the zebras whoop and the birds call, knowing that she would never again experience a mother's love, or any other kind. The cheetah cried herself to sleep. ********************************************************************************* Chefuru drank deeply from the big waterhole, being careful to keep away from the huge feet of the two elephants that drank there also. Suddenly, another reflection distorted the water. Chefuru looked up in suprise. "Hello, Jinika!" The shetcheetah lapped at the clear water daintily. "Hello, Chefuru." The malecheetah blushed to the tips of his ears, suprised that she even remembered his name. "Say, I......uh.......I......was wondering........um...." Jinika smiled. "Whether or not I would hunt with you?" Chefuru nodded. "How did you know?" Jinika took a quick look around to make sure Taan was not watching, then leaned close to Chefuru. "Female's intuition, Chefuru." She grinned. "Of course I'll hunt with you today!" Chefuru laughed. "Okay! Great! I spotted a herd of impala awhile back. C'mon!" With Jinika beside him, Chefuru trotted off, happy to be able to show off his hunting prowess to her. The two cheetahs stood on top of a flat gray rock, watching the impala graze and play in front of them. Jinika nodded. "Your hunting skills are very good, Chefuru." The malecheetah looked away shyly, then bounded off the rock after his beautiful friend. Jinika dug her claws into the dirt, growling softly as her eyes settled upon a large strong buck. The male impala pranced in front of his females, then screamed a warning challenge as the two cheetahs burst from the tall grass. The buck lowered his antlers, shouting. "You'll never kill me, you cat scum!" Chefuru jumped at him, wincing as the buck cut him with the tip of his horn. The buck shrieked in pain as Jinika's claws sank into his hindquarters. He swung at her, but missed, and fell to the ground as Chefuru's teeth snapped into his neck. Breathing heavily, the buck glared up at the two cheetahs. "Go on, kill me! Get it over with!" Jinika grinned down into his face. "That's what I'm going to do, Impala!" The buck struggled wildly to get to his feet, but Jinika cut him down, a savage glint in her amber eyes. "C'mon, Chefuru. You helped to kill him, now let's eat!" The two snapped and swallowed the meat hungrily. When they were finished, they drank from the waterhole. Chefuru splashed Jinika playfully. The shetcheetah splashed him back, and they tore off across the plains, startling wildebeest as they charged through, scaring zebra and upsetting gazelle. Jinika flopped down in the tall grass, laughing breathlessly. "I've never had that much fun in my whole life!" Chefuru panted happily, but gave his friend an odd look. "Why?" Jinika opened her mouth, but decided to keep quiet about her horrible life as Taan's sexslave. "I......I......well, I'd better be going now. G'bye, Chefuru!" The cheetah leapt up and raced off back the way they had come. The malecheetah watched her go, and sighed, then picked himself up and walked away in search of a place to take a nap. ********************************************************************************* Taan grabbed Jinika roughly. "Where have you been, you stupid bitch? Me and my friends have been waiting all day for you to show up!" He slapped Jinika to the ground, adding a hard kick as well. The cheetah covered her head with her hands, cringing until the brutal lion was finished. "I....I've brought your food, master! Please don't kill me!" Taan jerked her up upright, giving her a hard backhand across the face. "Oh, I won't kill you, pet, at least not until you've finished fulfilling all my friends' requests!" He dragged her inside the tree-root house. Six other animals waited their, sitting around in chairs, sipping beer with their feet propped up on low stools: a leopard, a rhino, a baboon, a hyena, a water buffalo, and a serval. The buffalo snickered. "Shut the door, Taan. We don't want anyone else to know about our little party, now do we?" The lion laughed, kicking Jinika to the floor. "Meet Jinika, everyone. She's our hostess for the night!" The leopard snarled, throwing the baboon aside from where the monkey had been giving him head. "Give her to me first, Taan!" The hyena spluttered on his beer. "No so fucking fast, bitch. I want her!" Jinika stood in the middle of the room, bare and shaking. The serval rose. He was a large, muscular cat. Running a claw between the cheetah's breasts, he smirked. "Can't you retards see she's scared? C'mon, kitten, hop up on my lap and I'll show you a good time!" Taan growled and rose. "I'll lock her up in my room if you guys don't quit fighting over her!" The rhino narrowed his eyes. "First up, let's introduce ourselves to the little lady." He ran a huge hand across her rump. "I'm Chenk." The leopard smiled, displaying his huge white fangs. "And I'm Nenti." The baboon whooped loudly, grabbing his shaft in both hands. "Suck it, cheetah!" Taan pushed him to the floor between his legs with a heavy hand. "No, suck me, monkey!" The baboon willingly obliged, murmuring and groaning to himself as he took the lion's huge member into his mouth, licking noisily. Taan smiled wickedly at Jinika. "This is Oki." The serval ran his eyes down her body. "Honey, I'm the nicest one here. They call me Tey." The hyena tittered. "I'm Zuk, and my knot is the first you'll ever feel, cheetah!" The buffalo snorted. "Not if I get to her first, dog!" Heaving his bulk from the chair, the buffalo rubbed the end of his hot shaft along Jinika's stomach. "I'm Allo, the biggest here." Nenti grinned. "Oh yeah, cheetah, you'll be privileged to get Allo's shaft in ya, if Chenk here don't kill you first!" The room broke into cruel laughter, then Taan held up a hand for silence. "Okay, now, whose going first?" Everyone raised their hands, even the baboon, who was still between Taan's legs, sucking away. The lion grinned. "She's not that good, boys. Anyway, since we can't decide who gets her first, we'll draw straws." Zuk scoffed. "Jesus, Taan, why can't we all just have a good time at the same time?" Taan glared at him. "Because I want her kept alive for the morning, dipshit!" He handed out straws to the six malebeasts, who ran their hands along Jinika's shaking shoulders. She stared up at them with tearfilled amber eyes. She was going to die, that much she knew. Taan grinned. "Hold up your straws." Everyone did, but everyone's was the same size. Jinika closed her eyes, now shaking uncontrollably. She knew Taan was just trying to draw things out, to scare her more. The lion roared out suddenly, thrusting into Oki's mouth as he spurted cum. The baboon giggled and swallowed happily. Taan wiped himself off and pushed the monkey away. "Okay, Oki, you've done your share." He stared in mock wonderment at the even straws. "Okay, then. Smallest first." He pointed at the hyena with a grin. Zuk rose, swearing. "It's all these goddamn cats, man, with their huge-ass cocks and shit." Allo smirked. "Of course, your knot is the first the cheetah's ever going to feel, so go to it!" Zuk dragged Jinika to her feet, yelling at the buffalo. "Shut the fuck up, bung-licker!" The hyena slapped the shecheetah, hard. "Get the fuck down on your knees and suck me, bitch!" Jinika knelt, feeling Zuk shove his rockhard chode into her mouth. "Go on, cat, gimme some head." Jinika almost gagged on the short thick thing stifling her laughter, then recovered herself and began to run her tongue along the sides of the hyena's member, tasting dirt along with the bitter precum. Zuk gripped her ears and moaned, then came with a sharp bark, shooting a few streams of cum into her mouth. Jinika swallowed effortlessly, and backed away. Zuk glared at his friends, stuffing his little chode back down between his legs and flopping down on the couch. Tey slapped Chenk on the back, gasping, "Man, did you see that thing?" He held up his fingers about two inches apart. "A chode, man, a fucking chode!" Taan laughed. "Okay, Tey, you're up next." The muscled serval ran his hands down the sides of Jinika's body. "Man, you're fine, girl." He nuzzled her neck. Jinika stiffened, but allowed herself to be led to the couch. Tey lay her down gently, running his hands across her slender body. Jinika closed her eyes, shuddering as the serval licked along her stomach. "Oh, god, I can't take it anymore!" Oki leapt onto Tey, thrusting his hips on the serval's rump wildly. Tey heaved and threw him off. "Goddammit, you horny little monkey!" Allo, Nenki, Chenk, Zuk, and Taan laughed uproariously, slapping and pounding each other's backs. Tey floored Oki with one punch to his chin, then went back to Jinika, his hands clenched tight, his eyes blazing. The cheetah looked up at him with brimming eyes, knowing what the serval was about to do next. WHAM! He knocked her to the floor with one blow. "What the hell are you looking at, bitch?" Tey leapt onto Jinika, spread her, and punished the cheetah with short thrusts, his balls slapping against her rump. His tail whipped her back unmercifully. Jinika lay on her stomach, pinned the floor by Tey's lust, taking it with her eyes closed. The serval grunted, then yowled, raking the cheetah's sides cruelly with his long claws, drawing blood. When it was all over, Tey grabbed Jinika, whirled her around, and ended his bout of hot rage and lust with a few hard blows to her face. Tey kicked her savagely and flopped back down on Taan's couch. The shecheetah lifted a bruised and battered face to Nenki as he stepped over her. The leopard heaved her to her feet, shouting, "That's the way I like 'em, beaten in and ready to go!" He threw her against a doorpost. Jinika struck her head sharply, but did not black out. She staggered to her feet, but Nenki kicked her down. "No, you don't, hon!" The leopard pulled her up, pushed her against a wall, and took her that way, thrusting upwards skillfully. Jinika buried her head against the wood as Nenki's flood of hot spooge flooded into her. The leopard panted as he shoved her toward Chenk and Allo. "Whooo! I haven't done that in a while!" He lay down on the couch, flicking his tongue out at Taan's muscled chest as the lion growled playfully, stroking the leopard's erect member. Jinika swayed on her feet, both eyes black and swollen, her face a mass of bruises and welts. Blood dripped from her sides where Tey's claws had ripped her. The rhino and the buffalo leered wickedly at her, whispering to each other. Through a haze of semi-consciousness, Jinika felt herself being pushed to her knees. She dimly heard Chenk's voice, then felt a five inch thick cock being shoved up her rump. Her head was wrenched cruelly upwards and a thicker, hot, gray dick was inserted into her mouth. Jinika heard the scream that ripped out of nowhere, then felt the horrible pain and realized it was her own scream. The cheetah shrieked, but the sounds were muffled by Chenk's huge member in her mouth. The huge hand stroked her head. "Suck it, cheetah!" Jinika licked slowly around the colossal base. Behind her, Allo thrust and thrust, sticky, bright red blood coating his shaft as he plunged into her. Zuk laughed and snickered. "She's going to die, I know it!" Tey wiped blood from his claws. "Sayonara to the bitch, I say!" Jinika could feel the life ebbing from her body, but continued to roll her tongue around Chenk's immense cock. Suddenly, hot cum drenched her from both ends, spilling hotly down into her body. Jinika pitched forward in a dead faint. Zuk cackled madly as Taan splashed his slave with beer. "You better not have killed her, Allo. You too, Chenk." Jinika came awake, mumbling something no one could make out. Allo shrugged. "My turn at her mouth, Chenk." The rhino laughed wickedly. "Then I'll be at the other end." Jinika was heaved to her knees, faltering unsteadily. "Please, ple..ase.....ple...." Chenk, who's massive erection needed no guidance, entered her bloody rump with a firm thrust. The shecheetah screamed as Chenk impaled her upon his shaft. The males on the couch watched in shocked silence, the quiet broken only by Zuk. "Jesus H. Christ, man, don't kill her!" Chenk watched as blood began to color his member. The rhino grunted as he sank in deeper, closing his eyes. Nenki looked away. Jinika sucked weakly at Allo's cock, howling with pain as Chenk sank two more inches of himself into the cheetah. Scalding, fiery hot spooge surged into Jinika's horribly beaten, violated body. She could not stop the gagging now, and hot vomit spilled out over Allo's dick. Jinika slumped to her elbows, retching, howling, and shrieking. Chenk grunted loudly as the last few inches of his horribly long cock sank into the cheetah. Sweat beaded on Jinika's forehead, dripping from her chin as she stared at the floor, stifling the screams that clawed at her insides. She could feel the gigantic rhinohood scraping along the inside of her stomach, ripping through muscles that it should not have even touched. The cheetah gasped for breath as Chenk thrusted, gripping her thighs at last. Her fingers knotted into the dirt of the room's floor. Two huge, heavy balls pounded her rump as the rhino luged inward. In the horrified stillness that followed, Jinika's eyes rolled back into her head and the shecheetah collapsed on the floor, utterly senseless, her last thought of Taan's sneering face. ********************************************************************************* Late after his six horny friends had pleasured him and gone home, Taan sat on his couch, sipping beer and staring at Jinika's comatose figure at his feet. Damn, he thought. She was a good bitch, while she lasted. The lion nudged the cheetah gently with a toe. "Goddammit," he muttered to himself. Rising, Taan set his beer down and grabbed Jinika by the scruff of her neck. Careful not to soil his clothes with her blood or the spooge and beer that coated her fur, the lion dragged her into the bedroom, dropped her roughly on the floor, snapped the thick iron ring around her neck, and crawled into bed. He lay staring at her for what seemed like hours, then rose, kicking the covers off. "Shit, shit, shit." He couldn't go to sleep with a three-quarters dead cheetah at the foot of his bed, could he now? Hauling Jinika to her feet, Taan unsnapped the ring from her neck, towed her through the living room, into the hall, and outside, into the cool African night. Pulling her into the cover of some acacia bushes, the lion pushed leaves over her and then strode back to his house. ********************************************************************************* Chefuru was making his nightly hunting rounds, pouncing through the tall grass and bushes for savanna hares and those little deer, duikers, they were called. Very tasty. The malecheetah caught a flicker of small black eyes in the acacia bushes to his left, and crouched, then sprung for the rabbit. His hands hit hard, bare earth, disturbing some leaves, but no rabbit. Chefuru stared in horrified shock at the scene before him. Jinika lay there, sprawled out across the ground underneath the bushes. Her body was bruised and slashed, her slender sides heaving gently with shallow breaths. The shecheetah was a mass of blood, torn skin, and a sticky substance around her rump. Chefuru tore his eyes from the sickening sight, fastening them on her face. One of Jinika's eyes was swollen black, and small cuts, looking as though they were made by a hard set of knuckles, laced her cheeks and forehead. The imprint of five long fingers showed clearly across her left cheek, complete with clawprints as well. "Oh my god," breathed the malecheetah. He looked away, fighting back the urge to hurl his fresh nightsnack of duiker into the dirt. As he did so, a cool breeze whispered past his face. Chefuru knew what he had to do. Stepping close to her battered body, he knelt beside Jinika. Her eyes were half-closed, but he knew she couldn't see him. The once-beautiful shecheetah drew in rasping breaths through her mouth, her claws working the leaves weakly as she mouthed a word. Chefuru could not make it out, but he knew he must get her as far away that part of the savanna as possible, before her rapists came back and killed them both. Placing his arms around her abused body, the malecheetah lifted her gently into his embrace, next to his strong chest, and stood. Jinika's head lolled senselessly across his arm, but Chefuru shifted her until her head lay back against his chest, and then ran, the lightness of his pitiful burden suprising him as he fled across the African savanna to his home. ********************************************************************************* Warm, bright sunlight danced in front of Jinika's closed eyelids. The shecheetah tried to push it away and sink back down into the black pit that had been her refuge for who knew how long, but the light kept prodding her, lifting her up out of the darkness. Jinika opened her eyes, taking in the sight that greeted her. Leaves, tall grass, a tree trunk, and a soft pair of amber eyes. "Here," a familiar voice said quietly. "Drink this." Jinika kept her gaze fastened on the young-looking malecheetah that knelt over her, feeling a warm liquid trickle down her throat into her raw insides. Despite the aching pain, she recognized the taste; some sort of meat broth. Hungrily, Jinika clawed at the cup, gulping the broth down eagerly. The voice murmured again. "Please, don't exert yourself. Here, I'll give it to you." Jinika linked the voice with the face, but still could not place either. A smooth hand touched hers. "You've been hurt very badly, Jinika, so lie still." The creature knew her name. The shecheetah dropped the cup. "How.....ho....w....do.....you.......who.....?" "I am Chefuru, your friend." Suddenly, it all came flooding back to Jinika: the pain, the agony, Chefuru's sweet grinning face, Chenk, Zuk, Tey, and Taan. Taan. She bared her teeth angrily at the thought of his heartless sneer, as he watched her six rapists ravage her cruelly. "Chefuru, take me back to Taan. Now." Jinika moved to rise, but a searing pain shot through her body, and she sank back against the pillows with a gasp. Chefuru nodded sadly. "They tore you up, Jinika, then left you for dead in some bushes." Jinika looked away, her face burning with shame. "How long have I been unconscious?" Chefuru picked up the cup, setting it upright. "Four days and a half. I saw what they did to you, but I didn't want to look anymore, because that would be violating you, so I brought you here and put you in my room. I've been sleeping outside." Jinika pulled the blankets more tightly around her bruised body, managing a bitter laugh. "You wouldn't have violated me if you looked, Chefuru, not even if you----" The shocked look in the malecheetah's eyes pricked her conscience, but Jinika went on. "Not even if you took your pleasure on me, Chefuru." She looked away. "Huh, that's about all I'm good for anymore." Hot stinging tears sprang to her eyes, but she made no effort to brush them away. "You'd probably be the softest, nicest, most gentle male I've ever known if you took me now, but then again, if you knew half the things I've been made to do, half the bastards I've been made to pleasure, you wouldn't want me." She lifted a tearstained face to Chefuru. "No male will want me now." She laughed that bitter laugh again through her tears. "No, not when you have a bright future ahead of you with a fresh, untouched young female who can give you cubs and a glorious marriage." Jinika turned away, huddling down in the blanket with her back to Chefuru. "I'll stay with you for as little more time that I can, at least until I'm well enough to walk and run and hunt, then I'll make a life for myself in the savanna, among the hyenas and the jackals. They'll take me in. I don't deserve a life among civilized cheetahs, not with my background. Taan might take me back too, though I don't know how long I'll live under his abuse. I'll----" Chefuru grabbed her shoulders, shaking her as gently as he could. "You will not go live with those filthy dogs, or Taan, if he's the one who's kept you like this, who's fed all this into you. You don't deserve a life like this, Jinika. You are worthy of having a lifelong mate who'll love you, no matter if you can give him cubs or not, even if you've been raped countless times." Chefuru let her go. Jinika sank back, stunned at the tears that poured from his eyes, rolling down his sweet face. "Chefuru, you don't know me. I
" Chefuru held her face between his hands. "I know that you don't deserve a life like this." The two sat like that for minutes, Chefuru stroking her cheeks with his thumbs, Jinika feeling a part of her heart unleash emotions that she thought were lost forever. Her eyes filled with tears, and as they spilled down her lovely face across Chefuru's thumbs, she felt loved for the first time in her life. Chefuru smiled through his own tears, and pulled his hands from her face. "Get some rest, Jinika." He pulled the blanket more comfortably around the shecheetah, then slipped from the room. Jinika watched him go, and as her eyes drifted shut, she breathed, "Chefuru." ********************************************************************************* Taan sniffed at the bushes where Jinika had lay. He touched a dark stain on one of the leaves, smelling it. Blood. Her blood. The lion motioned for Nenki, Zuk, and Tey to come close. Together, the leopard, serval, and hyena stood staring down at the spots of blood on the leaves. Tey ripped the bushes aside angrily. "Where could she have gone? We all saw her after Chenk and Allo were done, ripped her up so bad that she would have died anyway!" Zuk snickered. "I knew she was gonna die! Chenk doesn't know his own strength!" Nenki shoved him back as he joined Taan and Tey. "She didn't just get up and walk off. Someone came and took her away!" Taan flexed his brawny arm muscles. "When I catch up with whoever took her, I'll make him pay double, before I turn the hyenas loose on that bitch Jinika. They'll enjoy her very much." Zuk slapped his thigh, howling with laughter. "And if they don't, well, there's always the crocodiles to please!" The four laughed cruelly as they made their way back inside Taan's house to prepare for the journey. And maybe something more. ********************************************************************************* Jinika walked out of Chefuru's house into the sun's dying light, leaning on the strong malecheetah as she limped slightly. "Oh, it's beautiful, Chefuru!" The two cheetahs gazed at the brilliant colors that streaked the sky as the sun set behind the mountains. A flamingo flapped slowly over them, passing in front of the sun and turning into a long black silhouette. Jinika pulled away from Chefuru, stepping into the last rays of light that shone down. A light breeze ruffled her ears and whispered around her slender body. Jinika closed her eyes, letting the cool air wash the feel of Taan's hard body away from her. Chefuru stood watching, stunned by her beauty. The shecheetah's tail curled around her heels as she lifted her hands to the sun. The colored light turned her into a glowing goddess, and the winds rustled through her fur. Chefuru gasped as the breeze brought a small flower to rest on Jinika's shoulder. Letting her arms fall back down to her sides, the shecheetah stayed like that for minutes, basking in the warm glow of the sun that soon turned to darkness. Chefuru could not move, rooted to the spot as he was. Jinika faced into the shafts of creamy yellow light that the full moon shone down upon her. "I have not always been a slave, Chefuru," she said to the malecheetah behind her without turning. "I once had a family, a mother, two brothers and a sister. I do not know where they went." Jinika gazed at the large moon as she went on. "I am destined for greatness, not for the beds of lustful males." The cheetah wiped a tear away from her beautiful amber eye. "You have taken me in, Chefuru, given me food, water, a place to stay, and love. Even though you have not said a word of that to me, I know. It shined from your face every day, and it is in your actions." Chefuru stepped behind Jinika, caressing her shoulders. The shecheetah turned to face him. "I love you, Chefuru." In the silence that followed, Chefuru let his hands slip around her waist and pull her close. "I love you as well, Jinika." Jinika slid her arms around his neck and leaned into his kiss. It was a soft kiss, warm and passionate. Chefuru pressed his mouth harder to hers, knowing that he could only reach fulfilment in the arms of this beautiful creature. Jinika lay down, drawing Chefuru with her. She moaned into his mouth as he ran his hands down her love-starved body gently, stroking her hips. Chefuru nuzzled her neck, hearing the hunger in that cry. The grass rustled softly as the two lay there, kissing and touching softly. Chefuru nipped at her breasts, then took a nipple in his mouth. Jinika arched her back, bringing her bust closer to his mouth. Chefuru rolled and sucked at the hardened nipple, then took the other in his between his lips, nibbling and licking at it as it rose to meet his loving mouth. Jinika moaned again, holding onto Chefuru's ears for dear life as he explored her body with his tongue, lips, mouth, and hands, caressing her skin, flicking his tongue out at her navel, moving lower to bury his muzzle in her furry mound, inhaling deeply. Jinika gasped as the tip of his tongue entered her wet depths, drawing her in. Chefuru felt his shaft throbbing with desire as he licked harder, thrusting his tongue deeper inside of the shetcheetah. Jinika keened her agonized delight softly, holding onto his ears. Chefuru licked faster, hearing Jinika's breath come in short pants. Jinika released the shriek she had been holding back into the night as her hips rolled toward Chefuru's mouth in a soaring climax. Chefuru groaned into her wetness as the throbbing between his legs grew. Jinika panted, feeling the waves of hotness die down to a flickering ember in her loins. Chefuru drew her to him, kissing the shetcheetah with bruising force. Jinika clutched him tightly, as though she would never let go, returning the kiss with just as much force. Chefuru lay down on his back in the grass, Jinika's hands pressing down on his shoulders. Smiling, the shetcheetah lay down on top of him, nuzzling his neck, running her hands over his muscled, furred chest. She sucked at his dark nipples gently, then moved lower, licking down his stomach. Chefuru closed his eyes, groaning as Jinika took his hot, thick, long, black cock in her mouth. For the first time in her life, the shetcheetah actually wanted to pleasure a malebeast. Grasping the base of his rod, Jinika licked up its side slowly, nibbling and blowing breath over it. She let her breasts touch it, trailing her hard nipples along Chefuru's virgin stiffness. The malecheetah groaned in anguished pleasure, his breath coming in short pants as Jinika explored the small hollow in the top of his shaft, then took it all into her mouth, testing her limits. Chefuru moaned, breathing hard as swells of heat rippled through his body. Jinika sucked harder and faster, keeping her tongue against the silky hardness, kneading his large ballsac. She groaned, feeling the wetness between her thighs throb with desire for Chefuru's muscled body and regal member. Suddenly, the malecheetah yelled, shooting a flood of hot, sweet cum into Jinika's mouth. The shetcheetah swallowed the thick seed quickly, but was not sickened in the least by it. Wiping her mouth, she lay down on her back in the grass. Chefuru lay atop her, reveling in the love that he saw in her eyes as he penetrated her moistness with a gentle thrust. Jinika kissed him, arching her back and hips into his body. Chefuru thrust into her at a measured tempo, not wanting to hurt her, but wanting Jinika to experience the fullest of the lovemaking arts. With him. Wave of excitement swept over them, making them both groan with pleasure. Jinika panted, seeking Chefuru's lips, his chest, his neck, anything as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Their bodies became sweaty as they rolled and arched ecstatically in the savanna grass. Jinika's claws bit into the flesh of Chefuru's back as he held her tightly, thrusting faster into her wetness. His hard member slid easily in and out of her, lubricated by his precum and her wet juices. Jinika cried out as Chefuru gripped her butt cheeks, and lunged inwards wildly. Jinika panted, then cried out again as Chefuru pulled out, sinking his tail deep into her teasingly. Jinika wrapped her own tail around his member, stroking and caressing him gently with its furred tip. Chefuru pulled his tail out of her and thrust his cock in again, feeling the heat building between their perspiring bodies as they arched and moaned in unison. The hotness suddenly sent waves of pleasure through them. The two cheetahs gripped each other tightly as they orgasmed at the same time, Chefuru shouting Jinika's name, and the shetcheetah shrieking his. The full moon and the stars twinkled overhead as Chefuru and Jinika made love on the moonlit savanna. ********************************************************************************* Taan led Tey, Zuk, and Nenki deeper into the tall savanna grass. The three cats were undeterred by the sharp green blades, but Zuk staggered and tripped along far behind them, cursing and shouting. "Goddamit! This grass wants to cut my fucking dick off! Hey! Bunglickers! Get the fuck back here!" Taan, Nenki, and Tey ignored the hyena, hacking with their machetes at the thick grass. They soon stepped into the mud of a waterhole, where Chefuru's tracks could be seen clearly. As Nenki and Taan sniffed at them, Tey shook his head at Zuk. The hyena jumped from foot to foot, trying to avoid the sticky mud. "This just fucks ass! Stupid mud looks like shit." He was thrown backward as Tey hurled a handful of mud straight into his open mouth. "Shut the hell up, Zuk!" The hyena spluttered and choked, cursing more than ever. "You fucking bitch without a dick! One of these days, I'll get Allo or Chenk, or both of them to fuck you up the damn ass, you goddamn asswipe!" Taan knocked him down with a hard left. "Shut up, Zuk." Nenki gazed longingly at the shapely ass of the lion, stroking his shaft absently. He had never fucked Taan, only fantasized about it in his dreams. Tey caught the dreamy look in the leopard's eyes, and smirked. "Gettin' kinda horny over there, aren't you, Nenki?" Nenki glared at him. "Shut up, Tey, or I'll cut your damn cock off." Taan stood up. "A cheetah's taken my pet bitch, a malecheetah, most likely." Zuk scoffed. 'Or maybe it was just one of those Good Samaritan lesbo bitches that come around here once in a while." Nenki nodded, still touching himself. Taan grasped the leopard's erection, bringing the cat out of his lustful trance with a roar. The lion grinned, rubbing Nenki's hard cock with his thumb. "Once we've made camp, Nenki, come see me." Shooting a scornful glance in Tey's direction, Nenki traveled alongside Taan, his heart beating fast with anticipation of what would happen once they made camp ********************************************************************************* Nenki, Taan, Zuk, and Tey made camp underneath a spreading baobab tree. Zuk pretended to hump it, moaning, "Ohhhh, ohhhh, c'mon big.....tree, give it to me. Ohhhhh." His friends laughed as the hyena faked an orgasm and pretended to spray cum all over the treetrunk. Zuk finished and bowed, then, at a motion from Tey, knelt between the serval's thighs and began to suck him off expertly. Tey swigged at his beer, grunting as Zuk pulled on his balls teasingly. "Not so hard, you fucking queer. I'm saving myself for that pretty little she-zebra we saw in the grass today." Taan nodded, his eyes fixed on the bag he had at his side. "Yep, she was fine." Nenki grinned. "Oh, yeah, with those huge tits and that tight ass. She was just waiting for us to fuck her!" Tey moaned as Zuk brought him nearer to orgasm. "God.....fuck.........Zuk....awwww!" With a loud snarl, the serval thrusted into the hyena's mouth and came, shooting spooge down Zuk's throat. The hyena cackled and swallowed, then licked Tey clean and came for his share of the beer. Taan slipped his hand between Nenki's legs slowly. "If you guys don't need us around, we'll go." Leaning close to the leopard's ear, Taan blew breath along his neck, whispering, "We have to talk, Nenki." The leopard nodded silently, then rose and followed Taan into the deep bushes. Tey and Zuk watched them go, then Tey smiled. "Nenki's never been opened, Zuk." The hyena slurped his beer noisily. "What're we going to do, Tey?" The serval stroked his hard cock. "I don't know; have a little fun ourselves, maybe?" Zuk set his beer down. "Oh, yeah." The two smiled at each other, then Tey slid down from his chair to run his hands along Zuk's sides, slipping down to grasp his furry sheath. The canine knot slid from the sheath immediately, red and dripping with precum already. Zuk whined with pleasure as Tey rubbed his tongue along his short dick. The hyena reached for the serval's erection and licked at it eagerly, thrusting his hips toward Tey's probing tongue. Tey slid his arm around Zuk's hip, holding the hyena still as he sucked hard, wondering what Nenki and Taan were doing in the cover of the bushes. Taan grinned at Nenki. "The reason I wanted you to come with me back here was because we don't need Zuk getting in our way, or Tey making smart remarks. Just you and me." The leopard grinned back, his heart thudding against his chest with anticipation. He felt something against the inside of his thigh, and looked down. Taan grinned, rubbing his huge cock along Nenki's flank. "I know you've never been opened before," the lion purred, stroking the leopard's hips and sides, "but it'll feel good after a while." Nenki nodded, his own hands running along Taan's muscled chest. The lion pulled him close into a kiss, close-lipped at first, then opening his mouth, he applied gentle pressure with his tongue on Nenki's lips until they parted. Nenki groaned as Taan's hands slid down his body to grasp his furry sheath. The leopard met Taan's questing tongue with his own, tasting the lion's mouth, his breath, his need as they kissed passionately. Taan stroked Nenki's sheath until the feline's long black cock slid out of it, wet and ready. The lion could feel the leopard's hard dick rubbing along his own, and moaned into Nenki's mouth, pulling the leopard down to the ground with him. Taan kept his arms around Nenki, caressing his thighs, his hips, slipping his tail between his lover's ass cheeks teasingly. Nenki could feel Taan's thick hotness prodding his ballsac, then slipping lower, and stiffened. Taan pulled his mouth from the leopard's, and smiled. "Hey, Nenk, wanna try out your skill for blowjobs?" The leopard nodded, changing position until the tip of Taan's massive red cock lay near his mouth. He felt his own cock being drawn into a warm wet place, and groaned, following the lion's example and licking at the sheath in front of him, taking it into his mouth and rolling it around, tasting the lion's salty precum. Nenki groaned as Taan licked and sucked skillfully at his cock, sending waves of heat through the leopard. Taking Taan's huge balls in his hands, Nenki hefted them and began to lick down his lover's length carefully, massaging the ballsac gently. Taan groaned aloud, forking his leg over Nenki's head and bringing him closer to his hard cock and stiff balls. "Ohhh, you're pretty good at this." Nenki felt the horny lion take his own balls in his hands and began to knead and pull on them carefully, licking with maddening slowness down the side of Nenki's thick, black, long cock. The leopard threw his own leg over Taan's head and pulled him closer down his shaft, groaning the lion's name out loud. Zuk panted hungrily as Tey stood over him, the hyena reaching out his tongue for the serval's large erection. Tey slipped his tail in and out of Zuk's asshole, teasing the hyena cruelly. "Oh, you like my tail now, huh, Zuk?" The hyena lay back, groaning and panting. "Oh......god...yes, Tey!" The serval knelt between Zuk's open thighs, and thrust inwards. His cock slid easily through the hyena's loose love tunnel, lubricated with his pre. Tey pulled out, then sank back in again with a groan. Zuk screeched and panted, slobbering over the serval's face as he kissed Tey enthusiastically. Suddenly, Tey's claws bit into Zuk's thighs, deeper and deeper. His feline barbs stood out on his hot cock and sweat dripped from his forehead onto the hyena's chode as he came with a shout of pleasure. Thick, clear sticky spooge rushed into Zuk's body as the hyena howled and thrust upward, coating Tey's face with his own cum. Nenki came with a moan, feeling Taan lick at the sweet, thick, sticky flood of cum that rushed from the top of his long cock. The lion grunted as the leopard sucked his dick faster, then hot cream shot from the top of his cock into Nenki's mouth. The leopard swallowed eagerly and licked the lion's huge member and ballsac clean, groaning as Taan did the same, lifting his lover's thigh until the last inch of gooey spooge was washed away. The lion pulled Nenki to him, and then two held each other in a long kiss, feeling their hot members rub together with maddening slowness. The leopard lay on his back, panting, watching Taan as the big lion gripped the leopard's thighs, wrapped his ankles around his waist tightly, and cupped Nenki's rump in his large hands. With a gentle thrust, Taan entered his mate, enjoying the leopard's virgin tightness. Nenki moaned, gripping the grass and bracing himself as the lion pulled out, then sank the next few inches of his immense cock back in with another firm thrust. The leopard's own member throbbed, and Nenki could not help but thrust upward slightly, rubbing a wet streak of precum along Taan's cheek. He was rewarded by the warm wetness of the lion's mouth drawing his large black rod in. He drew in his breath at the sharp pain that darted through his body as Taan's hard cock opened him. The lion reached one hand up to grasp Nenki's balls and play with them teasingly as he thrust harder. Sweat beaded on the leopard's body as he fingers locked in a death-grip on the grass. The pleasurable pain built up, and his swollen cock throbbed unmercifully inside Taan's expert mouth, where it was rolled and sucked skillfully. Nenki moaned as his lover's leonine shaft filled his tight love tunnel to bursting, painfully stretching him out to accomodate what came next. Blood daubed Taan's member slightly, but the horny lion paid no attention, feeling the heat waves of pleasure sweep over him. He thrusted into the leopard harder and faster, feeling Nenki tighten his legs around his waist and draw him in deeper. Nenki panted and swore as the lion fondled his ballsac and began to pull him towards the brink of climax. Taan gripped his lover's thighs tighter as the throbbing passion in his massive cock grew, along with his need. He blew Nenki faster, licking and sucking eageraly as he moaned the leopard's name. The spotted cat lay on his back, thrusting upwards into Taan's warm mouth and groaning. "Ohhhhh........god....aw.. ............here it come.....here it comes! Oh.....shit!" Nenki cummed wildly just as Taan did, lunging into the leopard's hot love tunnel and climaxing then. Both roared and panted, Taan collapsing onto Nenki's chest. They lay there like that for a moment, the lion still deep inside his virgin lover, their muscled chests rubbing hard nipples against each other, Nenki's hot member between them. Taan rose first, pulling out of Nenki with a groan, then seized the panting leopard. They kissed savagely, with an untamed lust and power that only big cats possessed, grabbing for each other's hard bodies eagerly. Nenki stepped back, massaging his cock. Taan winked at him. "You want more, leopard?" The spotted cat shook his head. "No, I'm exhausted." Taan wrapped his arms around Nenki. "I love you, Nenk." Nenki kissed Taan's forehead gently. "Love you too, Taan." The two malecats fell asleep, smelling the musk of their encounter, still embracing and bathed in the creamy light of the full moon. ********************************************************************************* Chefuru and Jinika lay facing each other on a patch of mossy flowers. The malecheetah stroked Jinika's thigh gently, smiling into her face. "You've never felt love like that before, Jinika?" The shecheetah shook her head, running her fingers through Chefuru's chestfur. "No, Chefuru, but it felt wonderful." Chefuru smiled, drawing her close and bringing his lips down on hers. Jinika pressed her mouth to his, laughing gently as his tail caressed her rump softly. Jinika melted as Chefuru drew her close and kissed her hard, probing with his tongue hungrily. She responded with an eagerness she had not felt before, eagerly. Chefuru could have taken her again, among the flowers, but Jinika stood up. Reaching a hand down to Chefuru, Jinika helped him up. "Look, Chefuru. Look at the sky." The malecheetah looked up at the beautiful sunrise, and slipped his arm around Jinika's waist. "It's beautiful, just like you, lovely one." Jinika turned to him, and smiled, a tear of joy trickling down her cheek. Chefuru gently kissed it away, and then pressed his lips to hers for a moment. Then, the two cheetahs set off for Chefuru's home. ********************************************************************************* Taan sniffed the air, and smiled evilly. The chase was on! Climbing onto a rocky outcropping beside Tey and Nenki, the huge male lion whispered, "The cheetah who kidnapped my bitch lives down there. Let's pay him a visit." The three big cats climbed down and joined Zuk, then walked on. ********************************************************************************* Chefuru sat on a large, gray, sunwarmed rock, twining a bow skillfully. At his side, Jinika cut, threaded, glued, and flaked until a pile of arrows, with ostrich feathers at their ends, lay in front of her. Stretching out across the long rock, Jinika sighed and gazed up at the blue sky. Chefuru still twined and greased his bowstring. It had been three days since the handsome, strong malecheetah had shown Jinika what real pleasure was, and since then, they had made love whenever the urge was upon them. Now, Jinika smiled. Pulling her body into a kneeling position, she began to rub and massage Chefuru's back and shoulders, crooning softly, "You work too hard, baby." Chefuru groaned, and set his half-finished bow aside. "That feels great, Jinika. I work because I want to be ready and able to protect you, should that lion who enslaved you and his bastard cronies find us." Jinika pressed her bare breasts against his back, slipping her hands down to stroke his chest. As she nuzzled his neck and nibbled his ear, she chuckled huskily. "Hmmm, and you will, Chefuru." The malecheetah turned, and took her in his arms. Nuzzling the hollow of her neck, Chefuru blew warm breath across the top of her breasts, then dipped his muzzle lower to take a soft nipple in his mouth. Jinika gasped at the dart of heat that raced through her body. She pushed the heap of arrows aside as Chefuru lay her down upon the rock. The malecheetah felt the nipple grow hard inside his mouth, and reached for the other, savoring her pleasurable gasps. Jinika moaned as he pushed both her breasts together and took both nipples into his mouth, sending double spirals of warmth flooding through her. Chefuru licked downwards, aware of his throbbing cock as it slid from his furry sheath. Jinika gave a sharp cry as his tongue found her wetness, and slid deep inside of her, prodding and probing her sweet salt. Chefuru licked at his mate's clit and then sank his tongue into her again. The heat built in Jinika's body until she could stand it no longer, and came with a shriek. The malecheetah groaned into her hot flood, then came back to her arms and sought her mouth. Jinika kissed him fiercely, tasting herself on his lips, and feeling his hot, long, thick black rod rubbing along her stomach between them. Chefuru stifled the urge to sink himself in her for a moment, then felt Jinika's warm hands pressing against his chest. He lay back, ready for his mate to pleasure him. Jinka licked down his chest, sucked his dark nipples tenderly, then took his hard cock in her mouth. She tasted the fresh precum, and nibbled the smooth side of Chefuru's feline meat, trailing her hard nipples on it. Finally, she took the entire thing in her mouth and began a slow rhythm of teasing, keeping her tongue against it at all times as she sucked and licked expertly. Chefuru came with a snarl and a jolt of heat, cumming deep into Jinika's mouth. His mate swallowed the rich spooge, licked him clean, then lay on top of him, feeling his body tighten in response as his hardness trailed along the outside of her wet opening. Chefuru groaned, nodding at Jinika's gesture. Straddling her mate's throbbing schlong, Jinika lowered herself down onto it, clasping the malecheetah's hands. He moaned, and thrust upwards into her hot wetness. They moved together, he thrusting and Jinika moving in ways undescribable. After Chefuru and his lovely mate came, they clung together, kissing wildly as the both released their unrestrained passions, rolling, yowling, and snarling atop the warm, damp rock. Chefuru gripped Jinika's thighs and entered her from behind, his hard huge cock slipping into her dripping pussy with ease. The malecheetah pumped her hard, reaching under her slender body to cup her breasts in one hand. Jinika cried out with pleasure as he probed and thrust into new places, and backed to meet each of his eager thrusts, her rump pushing back into his large ballsac. Chefuru cummed, shooting his hot, sticky cream deep into her. Jinika's juices flowed freely as well. Both of them yelled and shrieked with the release, then Jinika was on her back once more, moaning as Chefuru kissed her breasts, then held them together and inserted his long shaft between them. He began to titty-fuck her, thrusting in and out between her full twin orbs. He groaned as Jinika flicked out the tip of her tongue onto the tip of his huge black rod, catching him on an upstoke. Chefuru snarled as he came, then groaned and shuddered. Jinika swallowed the sweet, rich spooge, then cried out, wrapping her legs around Chefuru's waist and drawing him in as he spread her thighs and thrust deep into her wetness. In and out he slid, crying out in joyous abandonment, his cries mingling with those of his beloved mate. They both climaxed with a shriek of pleasure, then Chefuru collapsed onto the sweaty pillow of Jinika's breasts. They lay like that for a while, as the sun slowly changed position in the sky. ********************************************************************************* Taan wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, freeing it of Tey's sticky spooge as he plunged deeply into the serval. Tey arched his back and yowled in agonized pleasure as Taan's leonine meat opened him wider. Nenki jerked off a few feet away, Zuk drooling at the shaft of feline meat the handsome leopard held in his paw. Suddenly, cream gushed out of Taan's huge cock and spilled onto the ground as it dripped from Tey's asshole. The serval came a moment later, coating the lion's face with his own spooge. The moon rose high over the lustful orgy. Tey gripped Nenki's thighs and entered him as the leopard bent over, his own hands wrapped around Taan's flat, hard stomach and his own cock sunk deep into the lion's ass. Taan knelt under the leopard, filling the tight rear of Zuk with his huge cock. And Zuk knelt under the lion, holding his hard little chode and jerking off furiously as the three cats pumped and thrust as one, Tey into Nenki, Nenki into Taan, and Taan into Zuk. The night air was rent with the snarling roar of all four as they came. Sticky white cum flooded and gushed onto the ground, pooling around the knees of the four lovers as the rest of the hot spooge flooded deep into their bodies. They reversed positions, until each of them had been filled with each other's seed. Taan then lay on his back, his mouth filled with Nenki's hard dick, Tey sucking him off, and Zuk humping a tree wildly into a rotten hole a savanna sqirrel had dug. Taan groaned as Tey sucked and licked expertly beneath his thighs, Nenki straddled and thrust into the lion's mouth, his hand wrapped around the serval's hot meat. Taan came first, almost choking Tey on his flood of hot cum. The horny lion swallowed and stroked Nenki's thighs, milking the last drop of spooge from the leopard's spent ballsac. Tey came the same time the leopard did, his cum spraying all over Taan's chest and Nenki's hand. They rolled away from each other and fell asleep where they were, on the sticky ground, exhausted after their heated orgy. Zuk came into the hole of the tree, then slumped to the ground at its base and fell asleep. ********************************************************************************* Chefuru lay across the rock, Jinika's head pillowed on his chest. Suddenly, he heard whooping warcries. Grabbing his bow, the malecheetah shook Jinika awake and notched an arrow to his weapon. Taking aim at the nearest figure, Chefuru let fly. The arrow took Zuk through the shoulder, and the hyena yelled with pain. Taan leapt at the bow-wielding cheetah with a curse, gasping in pain as the sharp edge of an arrow nicked his chest deeply. Jinika kicked, snarled, bit, and scratched at Nenki's face wildly. The leopard twisted her arm back until it broke with a popping sound, then dropped the screaming cheetah to the ground and kicked her before running to help Tey and Taan, Chefuru fought with a dagger he had stashed under the rock and then loosed an arrow at Nenki. The leopard screeched in agony as the ostrich-feathered shaft took him through the ballsac. Taan roared with pain as Chefuru drove the dagger up to its hilt into his chest, then, twirling it deftly, yanked it out and slammed it deep into the horny lion's erect cock. Taan roared horribly, and rolled off of Chefuru, gasping with pain as he tugged feebly at the dagger imbedded in his leonine cock. Jinika staggered to her feet, her broken right arm hanging uselessly at her side. In her good hand, she clutched a large tree limb, swinging it at Tey and Zuk. She beat the hyena's brains out with her weapon as Zuk leapt at her, the broken arrow still in his shoulder. Tey danced back at the shecheetah swung the branch at him, then dodged in under it and seized Jinika's throat. He began to throttle her, forcing her to her knees. "Die, bitch! Die!" Like lightning, Chefuru was on him. Jamming an arrow deep into the back of the serval's neck, the strong malecheetah freed Jinika's throat and helped her to her feet. "C'mon, lean on me, and we'll go!" Taan's voice stopped them, and they whirled. The lion stood, blood trickling down the inside of his thighs, holding the dagger. "STOOOPPPP!!" The wounded lion hurled the knife at the cheetahs. Jinika screamed as Chefuru shoved her to the side, released his last arrow, and took the dagger through his chest. Taan fell down, blood streaming from his loins, and died, Chefuru's arrow in his neck. Rain began to fall, churning the bloody dust into reddish mud. Jinika crawled forward throgh the muck, crying Chefuru's name over and over again. A flash of lightning illuminated the skies, and Jinika saw her mate, lying on his back, the dagger buried in his chest. "Oh, Chefuru! Chefuru!" She scrambled over to him, and threw herself across his chest, weeping. A muddied hand gently caressed her cheek, and she looked up. Chefuru's eyes were still closed, but his hand stroked Jinika's cheek. She touched his face. "Why did you do it? Why? Chefuru, you could've let me take the dagger, but you took it instead! Why?" Her mate's voice sounded faint in the storm. "Couldn't......let........you take.........the........blade......I.... had...........to, Jinika...........love........you............l.......ove...." His voice trailed off, and his hand slipped from her cheek. Jinika sobbed uncontrolably upon his chest, and then, and the rain pelted down upon her and Chefuru's bodies, she felt the handle of the dagger against her cheek. Sobbing, she wiped tears from her eyes and pulled the knife from Chefuru's chest, blood flowing out of his body and wetting her arms as she lifted it above her. Lifting her tearstained face to the moon, Jinika whispered his name to the sky, and then brought the dagger down. One, twice, three times she stabbed herself in the heart, and then, dropping the dagger, the shecheetah lay down and pillowed her head on Chefuru's bloody chest. Their blood mingled as Jinika's last breath went from her and the rain pelted down upon their still forms. Lovers to the end. T H E E N D
