*The Lion and the Zebra *

Once again, Mwana's life was feeling miserable and she was frustrated that once more, she was having to sit away from the main pride and lie down in long grass to cover her humiliation. It was not like Mwana had meant to loose her entire tail, but because it showed everything to the others and meant she could not use it to signal or insist she was irritated, her cousins and pride members did not seem to be able to read her! She did not fit in and though her parents and one of her cousins accepted her, it was not enough when the pride did their best to leave the teenage lioness out of everything from practice hunts to hide and seek!

Mwana was tired of just lounging n the grass watching the termites huddle about their mound to fix where and aardvark had turned up earlier. She pulled herself up from the dirt, glad the day with cooling down and with a grunt, she began to storm about the grassland, pondering what to do to relieve her boredom, when she found herself marching into the landscape filled with the migrating wildebeest herds and the other animals that joined them. Without a tail able to swing about and say she was not hunting, the wildebeest gave bleats and backed away from her, but thankfully the resident zebra herd cooled them, the herd stallion knew about Mwana and he was a good old sort, the pride never bothered his herd. But to her surprise, someone approached from the herd that she hadn't recalled talking to before.

"Hey... you're not hunting, are you?" It was a young stallion, quite handsome by zebra standards with faded stripes upon his legs that helped Mwana recognise him. This was Tufani, named 'hurricane', and the son of the herd leader so he was someone that should have realised she was not thinking like that. As she turned around to look at him with a scowl, he gave a soft whinny of amusement, lifting a hoof and insisting he was only teasing. Mwana was used to being teased, but not normally by prey items and she turned around to stomp off with a scowl upon her face as she was about to pad away from him. However, Tufani noticed the lack of tail, everything exposed, tight and pretty and pink and he had to come over to have a look - he hadn't known anything so curious and quickly he trotted in front of her. "Hold up... its Mwana, isn't it?"

"Yeah... and don't go on saying you're well named 'baby' because without a tail you need help from your mother to clean you..." Mwana scoffed, she'd heard that stuff before and she turned about to look at the stallion with a bored and irritated expression. She really did not want to be bullied and yet, as she settled back down on the grass, Tufani trotted to her side and nibbled at the grasses around her, trying to make the point that he was not going to do anything dangerous to her as he then gently butted her shoulder. Mwana was startled, zebras were very smelly animals, but up close it was a very strange kind of scent, a mix of their natural musk, the horse scent, sweet grass and something more unpleasant that curled up Mwana's nose. "What does it matter?"

"I was told you were lucky to survive... you and your siblings attacked by a rogue male, your sister and you alone survived, but you had your tail and almost the top of your rump bitten off! You are very lucky, I've got a scar from my last encounter with a rogue male when I was a colt... for months I was teased and told the ox-peckers will make it worse and the next lion will get you. Its unfair isn't it... but I think you look fine without a tail." Tufani stated calmly, bending his legs and then rolling onto his back, enjoying the dirt and kicking about in delight as he rolled in the dust. Mwana watched him curiously, she had not expected him to tell her such a thing... most of the other animals just teased her over her backside. But the fact he said she looked good like that made Mwana lower her head with a soft blush of surprise... no one had said that kind of thing before. "Shall we just hang out a bit?"

"Hang out? Eh... you mean listen to my complaints about the world whilst you graze away?" Mwana chuckled softly, amused over the strange behaviour of the young stallion as he rolled up onto his hooves and shook his body down. He then stretched his muzzle out towards her, giving her a gently nuzzle on the cheek to make her blush slightly before he began to skip around her in a circle and then hopped up and down again. She was amused by his attitude and quickly she pulled herself right up and then grinned wickedly. "You'll have to beat me in a race first..."

"Try me!" Tufani whickered as he seemed ready to go, but was then surprised when Mwana pointed out a termite mound in the far distance and then bolted off before confirming with him they were going to race. Tufani gave a snort of amusement before rearing up, giving a squeal of excitement and then charging after the lioness who was hurrying as fast as she could to the large red mound. The pair galloped on, Mwana seemed to keep ahead of Tufani for quite a while before her strength started to fade and then Tufani was right at her side, running just ahead of her and grinning in amusement. It was quite clear he could have galloped on ahead without any care, but he held back as he looked down at the lioness. "Come on Mwana... I'm holding back, surely you can go faster?"

"Don't tease me, flat-foot!" Mwana teased, sticking out her tongue and then bounding, leaping on towards the termite mound and getting ahead of Tufani. He was soon keeping to her hip again, but he was keeping slow as he looked at her curious shape and how oddly nice a lion's body looked without a tail, especially with her taught haunches. As she launched right towards the mound, her claws straining out to snatch it, Tufani suddenly bolted forward and slammed a hoof down on the red earth just as the lioness did the very same and then they pulled up. As he began to produce heavy snorts of relief over the race, Mwana flopped along the abandoned mound and then grinned at the stallion. "That was more fun than I expected... thanks for that..."

"I said I wanted to hang out... if you hang out with me even more, you'll find I can be even more fun! Besides, all the other members of the herd my age are fillies, no one's willing to have a mock battle or really to race without their dads panicking!" Tufani snorted softly, shaking his body firmly and then he brought his head towards Mwana's face, nuzzling at her shoulder suddenly as she swung her paw around and smacked him on the muzzle to make him give a sudden thump to the muzzle that made him give a soft grunt before he gave a chuckle and then barged her shoulder. He pushed his head gently in return, her claws in and just pressing his face as he gave a grunt. "Well... I've learnt that even without a tail, a lion can still run fast enough to jump me..."

"Especially if you spend the whole time staring at their butt!" Mwana chuckled, rolling onto her back and then swatting at him a few times in playful punches as the stallion gave a snort. He shook his head roughly in a snort of amusement before hopping about in delight before he then gave a grunt over the fact he couldn't help it... it was a zebra thing. This made Mwana snort as she then stood up and hopped off the mound as she glowered at him cautiously, but when he nosed her shoulder gently, insisting it was zebra greeting customs, the lioness gave a snort. "Alright then, if we're going to be friends you better greet me properly."

"With pleasure, milady!" Tufani snorted playfully as Mwana stepped in front of him properly and seemed to straighten herself up. Tufani gave a soft snort of amusement, as he nipped at the fur on her neck as she gave a growl for him to stop teasing. He was utterly amused by her actions and glad to be making friends with her as he brought his soft muzzle to his nose and then he snuffled gently at her backside, his heavy breath wafting over everything that was exposed. He sniffed in deeply, taking in the harsh scent of a predator but the curiously pleasant scent of her female point, it was curiously more interesting to sniff than on a female zebra. His warm breath swirled over it, the sensation tickling all those sensitive bundles within Mwana's body and making her shudder softly in utter delight. She could not believe how pleasant it was to have this strange stallion snuffing her so lovingly and giving her such interest. But after he took in several long sniffs, his muzzle pressing slightly against her, making her stomach boil and her legs want to pinch closer, not to mention a phantom sensation to curl her non-existent tail over her head, Tufani stepped aside. "Alright, you're turn."

He lifted his short leonine like tail up over his backside with the long hairs stretching over his flank to swat some flies away. Mwana was not sure if she wanted to do the same, she knew that zebras were said to have the most odorous backsides of any prey species, often when the other lions left intestines out of their prey! But when she hopped up onto the termite mound so she could sniff at him more easily, she lounged forward and began to give a few gentle sniffs of curiosity. It was a foul scent, strong and musky with all that horsey scent and worse, the sickly-sweet scent of the chewed grass that made her throat burn. She almost wanted to be sick, but it would be impolite and gently she finished sniffing sand then hopped down to him side again. But then, she heard her mother calling her back and swiftly, the pair agreed to meet tomorrow and the colt gave a whicker of delight, making Mwana happy.

She'd made a friend for the first time in a long time.

Time passed and the two beings were soon exceptionally close with one another, playing and chasing constantly through the height of the good times before Tufani introduced her to the herd. With their general friendship to the local pride, the herd were willing to welcome the lioness amongst them and they mused that Tufani had hired Mwana as a guard dog against other predators. There were a few incidents with some plucky cheetah getting too close, only to be charged by the lioness and bolt!

But as the dry season began to come in, the problem of heat and with it the inexhaustible number of flies began to bother Mwana. Regularly, she needed her mother to groom her backside, licking it clean to help prevent the flies to remaining there. She would shuffled her backside between other members of the pride whilst sleeping so that the insects did not land and crawl upon her intimate places. It was uncomfortable, embarrassing and more importantly it was disgusting to her and thankfully her mother never got tired of cleaning her up. It made going out to see Tufani awkward however as she trotted to see him one cooler evening when the flies were still buzzing about.

She padded over to the young stallion that was harbouring an ox-pecker that was calmly lounging upon his hip and preening him. The herd had a lot of flies around their rumps, but their patterning seemed to reduce the number that landed on their bodies. Mwana was fascinated as she stepped to his side as he grazed, standing right beside his hip. She looked to the bird enviously, only to give a sudden grunt of surprise when she felt his long tail suddenly swat aside towards her, flicking flies away from her backside and making her give a growl of appreciation.

"I was going to ask... the flies must be horrible! I have it bad enough when the biting flies get close to my sheath... I've seen stallions leap up screaming for that kind of bite. You less sensitive back there then?" Tufani questioned in fascination, snuffling at her as he turned around to greet her. She rubbed her cheeks against his face to share scent before she turned around for him to greet her. He snuffled at her backside and her snorted hard, blowing away the few flies trying to get close to her. Tufani snuffled very close to her backside, so close he was almost lipping at her flesh and Mwana gave a sudden shudder of surprise at the sensation. She turned about swiftly, looking up at him with a pitiful expression as he then lifted his tail. "Sore spot?"

"I'm quite sensitive there... and yes, it is a sore spot... but only because the flies do get there and... ooh its so embarrassing." Mwana stated with a growl of irritation as she straightened up at his backside. She took in a gentle sniff of his blackened flesh at the rear, the scent of zebra was now something she was getting used to and almost a little more wholesome, which was almost amusing. But when she finished sniffing, his tail flopped calmly onto her head and she gave a grunt before lifting a paw and cuffing his hip. He gave a whooping nicker of excitement and galloped off. Straightaway she was chasing after him, glad for the cool evening air and hurrying off to reach his side as she then jumped at him to pretend to tackle him.

He pivoted on his heel, spinning in circles and rearing up but never daring to strike out at her. Then, when she dropped down, he did too and straight out his neck, charging at her and chasing her with whinnies of excitement. She was laughing herself as he barged his muzzle to her hips and steered her around like he would winding up a filly. It was strange, the more Tufani played with Mwana and chased her around, the more he started to think of her as just like a filly, just without visible stripes! If she were a zebra with no tail, she could stand beside him forever and his tail would help swat away the flies from her and yet... she was a lion!

When they stopped their chase that evening, it was at the unpleasant whooping of hyenas in the distance and the pair froze and checked their positions. They snuffled around the place, grimacing in frustration to hear the predators walking around in the distance. Tufani gave a snort of irritation and the pair of them marched together back towards his herd and Mwana noticed the strong, pungent smell of the herd. She looked up at Tufani in fascination, his scent was still strong but it was growing on her. She was not sure why the zebra here smelt so much stronger than any others and with a soft question to queried a reason as Tufani gave a snort.

"Huh? Oh... well... whereas the antelope chew the cud, we don't and we can't vomit... so we get a lot of gas trapped in our stomach and of course we don't break down the grass into a finer pat like the cattle do. Apparently its something our kind has always had and it means there's bacteria in our dung that lives in our stomachs to break the grass down. As foals getting used to grass, we don't have the bacteria in our stomachs, so we're encouraged to eat our mother's dung before it leaves the anus." Tufani stated, rather matter-of-factly and yet Mwana gave a soft growl of amusement before shaking her body and giving out a low yawn. She then looked up at him and scoffed that she was asking about the weird traditions in his herd as the stallion gave a snort. "You mean the expulsions in each other's face? Eh... that was a tradition one of our mares developed generations ago... she smelt so bad that the lions would not attack her, her foals all bore the same stench as did their foals. But, their mates did not and so she would expel against her chosen stallion and what not to spread the scent and encourage a little bit of smearing too. Its become a way of bonding the newer members into the herd. When we used to migrate, it used to be even more helpful as though the scent markers would wash away, those bred with the smell could be gathered around easily and not get stolen. So our herd's a bit unique..."

"It makes sense... it makes me laugh that the only predators that still go after you are cheetah and hyena... but hyenas don't care about smell and the cheetah only go for foals... and they haven't got a great sense of smell compared to the hunting dogs, jackals and even us lions. I've heard even the local caracal and serval cats won't go anywhere near the plain you graze on because of the smell!" Mwana chuckled in amusement, shaking her body in amusement before giving a soft yawn as she nudged his body and then pretended that he stank badly. He gave a soft snort of amusement at her manner and then gently stretched his striped face around to try and nibble at her ear. She then started jogging off towards her family and then she paused to make sure that Tufani was moving towards his herd too before she gave a soft grunt. "Goodnight Tufani... see you tomorrow!"

"Goodnight Mwana... sweet dreams..."

Time continued to pass and with the dry season in full swing, the zebra herd was starting to mosey more towards the narrowing riverbank and in close proximity to the crocodiles and other dangers. Mwana found the flies unbearable during the day and despite her wish to go and see him, it was unbearably hot and the pride were too uncomfortable to let her leave. They swished and flicked their tails around her, her mother grasping her and cleaning her regularly to keep the flies at bay. When she was a cub, she could hardly cope with being so covered in flies at this time of year that she'd felt them crawling inside of her! Her mother had needed to work terribly hard to help her, fearful the tsetse or botfly might have left their mark and she would have lost her daughter!

Mwana found herself so desperate to escape the cloud of flies around the pride one evening that she galloped down to the riverbank as fast as she could and without care. The prey animals that saw her galloped away in terror, expecting to be attacked, but Mwana hurried into the dwindling bank and dropped her body into it, sitting up and keeping her backside covered. She groaned, feeling the flies being pecked away by the motions of the tiny fish that swarmed around her in search of food. The river was low to the bank, but thankfully it was not so low that the deeper trenches could not be filled with fish and crocodiles that were enjoying themselves. She was safe, but rather startled when she heard the familiar snort of a zebra by her ear.

"You look uncomfortable Mwana, is it the flies again?" The lioness turned her head to see Tufani and she was pleased, it had been too long and he was looking painfully slimmer than she liked. Even she looked lean, but she turned on the spot and brought her muzzle to his, chuffing and giving a throaty growling-purr of affection as she nuzzled his velvety muzzle. His nostrils widened, sniffing in her scent with pleasure before his lips nibbled and nipped around her shoulders in a display of affections. As the pair caressed against one another, it was clear that they had missed the physical contact and that there was more to this than just friendship. "Mwana... I missed you."

"I missed you too..." The lioness growled softly, lifting her head up to the stallion and brushing her chin over his long striped muzzle to show her affection. Then she dropped her head and stood up, giving a soft snort that she'd forgotten to greet him properly as she turned around to show off her soggy behind. Her pale patches of under-fur were streak with mud from the water and she was pouring the stuff from her body, looking curiously clean and free from the harassment of flies. It made Tufani snort in relief as he brought his muzzle to her backside to sniff in deeply, only getting the scent of water. It did not put him off at all as he then brought his muzzle to the fur, nibbling and sucking the dirty parts, his long hairs prickling and tickling at the sensitive flesh.

As he groomed her, Mwana gave a low groan of pleasure to feel that kind of attention and it embarrassed her too. Here shed been groomed a dozen times by the adults and all she'd found was discomfort and fuss. Her parents had only grumbled and fussed that she was useless at keeping the area clean herself and so she'd rather suffered from their badgering. Perhaps it was because she felt such affinity and friendship with Tufani, but as he took care of her, the sensations to her body became strange and pleasant, her stomach churning and her snatch, visible to him, starting to moisten with his tender nibbles around her anus and that little knot of flesh that said once a tail had been there.

Tufani nibbled and licked at the area, clearing away any bits of dirt trapped within the tight passage that was barely sealed away. He drew in the strange taste of her backside, something strange and almost rancid speaking of the meat she ate and yet it did not dissuade him. He then nibbled downwards, his thick but plush lips pushing her lower lips apart, letting the rivulets of water slide down within the gap to make her shudder and tremble in pleasure. She gave a soft moaning sound of pleasure and for a moment he paused as he knew that he wanted to touch this warm and salty smelling area with his tongue.

But something about it made him think twice, it seemed too intimate a thing to do and he was tilting his head about in fascination. He then stepped a bit closer, bringing his forelegs either side of her hips, intrigued whether maybe she could take his weight if her mounted. But Mwana was back down in the water, she even lay in it and fussed that he should join her if he wanted to cool down. Tufani gave a snort, stepping away from her and the just dipping his head into the water to drink. He had been caught up in that moment, seeing her as a different being entirely or perhaps himself as something different. She hadn't been a lioness anymore, he hadn't been a zebra anymore, they'd just been male and female....

"Mwana... can I talk to you seriously about something." Tufani did not like to sound so serious about things, but he was considering the situation between them and his mind had locked firmly upon that idea. As the lioness rolled in the water to face him, he brought his muzzle towards hers and then gave her a gentle tap. She flicked a paw, splashing water at him and for a moment the pair might have initiated a game, however Tufani's father gave a swift bray from nearby to tell them off for being frivolous with the water. The pair looked towards the herd anxiously and then Mwana turned to face the stallion as he gave a soft whicker. "I know it may seem strange... its not normal but its not unheard of or impossible but... would you consider becoming my mate?"

"Your mate?" Mwana tilted her head to the side, her ears out wide as her face skewed up in confusion before she dropped her ears. It was clear the zebra was telling the truth and she was startled to think that his heart was beating for her like that. It confused her greatly, but she stepped out of the water and then stepped behind him, he almost turned around to ask if he'd upset her, when he felt her suddenly sniffing at his rear to continue the greeting. It was still exceptionally strong in scent, she had not gotten used to it just yet and there was that desire to just turn her head away rather than sniff, but then she leant in further.

She then sniffed deeply before taking in that hideous stench before shuddering a little, letting the disgust blow away from the fact that this was not done because it smelt but rather because they cared for one another. Her heart was hammering about in excitement all the same, she could not believe another animal would find her appealing, let alone show her such kindness to begin with. As she sniffed at his backside gently, trying to make herself more acquainted to the scent, Mwana thought over his offer and with it her feelings for him. Yes, it was strange indeed, but she was actually very fond of Tufani and not just like a friend.

She heaved a sigh of frustration, as she pondered whether others would think the situation strand and then she gave a soft grunt. She strained her tongue out, gently stroking the dark stripe slipping between his cheeks as his tail lifted with a sudden snort of excitement. He turned his head to look towards her, fascinated that she would feel the need to lick him and excited that now she might finally give him the answer he desperately wanted. Her bristled tongue rolled against the flesh tenderly before she pulled her head away and the stepped right to his side, bouncing against his shoulder.

"When the dry season is over... I'll come find you at the first sign of rain and give you my answer...."

The dry season seemed to take longer that year and for the first time in many generations, Tufani's herd was required to cross the river to reach grazing on the other side. They were not too far away, only on the other bank and yet the river marked a boundary into the unknown and forbidden realms to Mwana. She longed to step out there and be with Tufani, the time permitted to think it over was all she needed to know that she truly loved him and there could be no mistake in the sensations within her heart. But her family made it clear, wait till the rains....

Mwana's parents had of course had their concerns on the matter as well as their doubts; though they were sure Mwana's feelings were real they doubted the zebra. There was still some prejudice within the lions at the idea of a lioness partnering with prey, but the more she talked it over the more they considered it. It was not unheard of, lionesses had even raised prey offspring before and well, it was clear Mwana's mind was set on the matter. As she talked to them over how they were together and how much she adored Tufani and he gave her such attention and love, they shook their bodies and released their anxieties to let them be together. There was not much they could say on the matter, it was clear her mind was made up and they would both support and protect her in case anything happened.

As the dry season continued and the lions moved only at night, Mwana would take the chance to spot wandering zebra stallions passing through and would hold them up. They would be scared of death at first, but when Mwana would ask them what they expected of a mate, the stallions would laugh but then speak. She was fascinated at the thought that a stallion's mate must be submissive, focus on the foals and ensure they go to a safe place. But she was startled when the stallions would muse that it was cute to hear a lion so impressed, but that mating would never work.

Mwana was concerned on the matter, she considered his height, her size and what she knew or had witnessed in the past. Mares stood for their stallions, if she stood she'd probably be correct height, but zebra's had impressively large and thick phallus. She was worried about whether her body could truly cope with something of that manner, but she knew that if he wanted to have young with her and be true mates... she'd be ready for it! With no tail to worry about she would not have too many difficulties, but coping with his weight was another matter and so Mwana decided to improve her strength training by lifting her sisters and even her father off her back without struggling too much!

The training was practically complete when one day, the sheets of rain and their grey haze began to roll down from the distant mountains and Mwana leapt up from where she had been eating some long-dead elephant. The pride had lifted their heads, looking around in case she had spotted hyenas of danger when they spotted the rain clouds heading their way. A few chuckled and lowered their heads down back to their meal, all of them aware of what this would mean for Mwana as she sought out where here companion's herd would be. As soon as the rain reached them, hammering down like crazy and soaking her utterly, Mwana's leapt right towards the river, her heart racing in delight and she gave out a low roar, begging for Tufani as she hurried on the hard ground as it began to crumble and squelch beneath her paws. She had not even needed to run that far before she heard the sudden loud neigh of her name and she spotted something moving amongst the rain ahead of her.

As she froze and stood there in the mud, roaring out against the hammering of the rain, the stallion scream echoed back to her and she could hear his hooves thumping the ground like thunder. Despite the rain her mouth was dry as her heart would not stop beating and she knew that despite making him wait to know, she wanted to be Tufani's mate! As she watched the grey mist hammering around, the white and black form of the zebra began to hurry towards her, screaming and calling out with his nose straining out towards her as she stared out at him, fur smashed down as she was met by him. Their noses pressed together, licking and nuzzling each other regardless, tears falling and mixing with the rain as Tufani stood over her, protecting her from the rain as she leant into his forelegs and nuzzled at his elbows.

"Tufani... I decided long before the ground was cracking that the only mate I could ever want was you. I've missed you so much, please tell me you haven't changed your mind about me?" Mwana questioned, ignoring the firm scent of the stallion that seemed stronger and fouler than ever before. Indeed, Mwana lapped at his stomach, thankful to be able to gain his scent again, letting it fill her up with a wholesome sensation as she then felt a surprise behind her. Tufani was feeling a little embarrassed, standing over her, having his stomach licked and being told she would be his mate had caused his cock to slide out of the sheath, it was not erect but certainly he was aroused and the scent became so strong and appalling that any animal might have fainted, but Mwana turned about the look at it and snuffed at it firmly.

"My thoughts haven't changed... I still want you..." Tufani whickered softly, steam falling from his nostrils as he spoke and then his whole body froze in excitement as Mwana leant forward and started sniffing in eagerly at his semi-erection. The more she took in the strong scent, the more she was fascinated as the strong musk began to be more bearable and acceptable. Mwana was intrigued to think that this was what would have to fit into her body if they had any kind of future and the more she sniffed, the more of the length that slid out and started to thicken. "Does it scare you?"

"A little... how will I fit it?" Mwana questioned softly as the rain continued to drum down and Tufani straightened up to look around him. He had not exactly thought that through, but when he beckoned her to follow him to an umbrella acacia that was still green enough to give them shade, Mwana followed. They stood within the shade as thunder rumbled and lightning flashed away, the day turning into night and as the rain came down and seemed endless. By tomorrow the grass might start to awaken and the herd would certainly cross back over, perfect time for Tufani to announce their pairing and engage in the ceremony. But he understood Mwana's point and then gave a soft snort.

"Let me lick you thoroughly, if my tongue can fit and make you wider, I'm sure it will all fit." Tufani stated and Mwana turned to look at him with a curious expression upon her face as he nuzzled at her ears. For a moment she considered this proposal and what it would mean, but she was so used to the area being groomed by rough tongues that it did not bother her too much to think of him joining in with that. As she considered it too, she knew too that he would want a submissive mate and so she could not deny him and with a gentle nod of her head, Mwana straightened up for him and beckoned him to get to it. Tufani gave her ear a gently lipping that would have been a playful nip before he then lowered his head.

His nose snuffled eagerly at her anus, amused by its exposed looks and how it was bearing a few little sores from the pestering of the flies. Her family had done a good job in cleaning her up but he was amused that the scent coming from her backside was nothing like a zebra's. It was rather more pleasant in not smelling similar to his own and so it was unique and pleasurable as he stretched out his long black tongue and then gently began to glaze over her backside. He licked up the we droplets from the rain and brushed the fur up, then gently he slurped at the edges and then around the hole. Mwana shuddered slightly at the sensation, but she was used to rough tongues there and for the suddenly flicks to her tight ring were not too unfamiliar and as the tongue continued to lick and probe, she relaxed her body. She strained outwards and gave a soft sound of pleasure as she felt his tongue slipping in the widening ring, licking the edges and rolling within as Mwana gasped gently with pleasure as Tufani's tongue urged the ring the stretch wider and then his tongue was able to slip inside and make Mwana gasp loudly. She dug her claws into the earth as she almost felt his tongue coming back pulling her backside upward and she ground softly as his tongue twisted and rolled inside her backside. As it did do, the ring strained out to let it get in and out and the muscles behind relaxed from the tenderness before Tufani pulled his tongue out and the licked at the hole again, pleased to see it was still wide.

"It's certainly eager to be groomed." Tufani stated in pleasure but he noticed that Mwana was not as eager to talk. Mwana gave a soft moan, her face feeling as strange as her body, she was sure she had felt something there get wet, something heat in her stomach and she knew that her pussy was also feeling very strange. As Tufani continued to lick the edge of her backside as if to close that part of the grooming sensation, his hot breath and the dripping water from her fur were flicking down to touch her exposed lips. They were tingling with every sensation and she wanted not to clench her hindlegs together but almost wanted to squat and urinate, hoping to excite Tufani and then she froze as the stallion snuffled at her pussy and Mwana could not prevent herself from giving a groan and then gently starting to urinate. Her warm golden fluid splashing onto the ground as Tufani's lips pinched to grab it and then he lifted his head up, lip curling in excitement as if he were smelling a mare in heat. "Are you... are you coming into heat?"

"Yes... I think... it will be at its height tomorrow and you will need to mate me thoroughly so... so I want to be prepared to be the best for you." Mwana blushed heavily, she could hardly believe what she had done and yet, the stallion's cock was hanging out in full excitement, he would have to wait till the ceremony to advance, but to be shown submission and be given the chance to test her for heat was pleasurable. He felt like he truly owned Mwana if she would do such a thing for him and so he brought his muzzle to her groin and then started to slurp and lap at her wet pussy. He scooped up the remaining droplets that held the pheromones he needed to worship as his tongue flicked around the pinching, puckering slit within the opened and scarred lips that seemed to slide open at his touch. His tongue rolled over the shape, feeling it pinch open but then close again whenever he moved his tongue away. It seemed unable to have as much strength to close as the hole above and that excited Tufani as he considered what he could do with such a place. He knew if he put himself in there, her body would keep he shape forever and he would only have to lick her as a warning in order to mate her whenever he wanted!

As Mwana began to sigh pleasurable and moan at the tongue thumping and rubbing against her opening, flicking her clit below and making her wetter inside. Tufani's tongue continued to flick and roll around her lips, his tongue constantly thudding against the swelling clit at the bottom of the lips as they spread out completely and Mwana was gasping and shuddering in pleasure. Tufani was pleased to see this reaction and calmly, he slid his tongue into the opening and was startled how hot it was as Mwana's body naturally strained out and clamped around his tongue. It made Tufani's cock strain out, he was utterly excited at this and he pulled his tongue out with a sudden popping sound that only made him eager to lick her again. The taste here was undeniably delicious, it seemed to be addictive as his tongue kept slurping up the honey that was starting to leak from the hole and filled the passage. His tongue probed in, stretching her out as she moaned lovingly and he kept slipping his tongue further in and let the end flicker out and touch every nerve and sensitive spot within as Mwana got wetter and moaned more loudly.

Tufani wanted to get his cock wet, he wanted to mate her right now, it felt so good just around his tongue and the taste was wonderful! Tufani could hardly believe how eager he was considering that this was a lion in front of him, an animal that in any other capacity would kill and eat him. He continued to slurp at her body, getting his tongue to slide in and out as he felt her passage opening up and then entrance taking a new and more welcoming shape. The honey continued to slither out as her hips began to shudder and she began to moan even more loudly at his attention and Tufani had to pull back and stop before he took it too far. He quickly pulled back and then heard the sound of his father calling out to him and he gave a snort of frustration.

"I'll be back here this morning to groom you again, I'll tell my herd the news and in the evening, we will have our ceremony, so you should tell your pride the news." Tufani stated, nuzzling her muzzle with his as she licked at his black lips and then bobbed her head obediently. Tufani though was startled though when Mwana suddenly rubbed her body up against his, spreading her scent onto him and then purposefully barging against his shrinking phallus so it fell out more. Her muzzle went to snuffle at it eagerly and then, when she brought her head to the tip that bore the strongest must and even some signs of dirt clogged around it, she lapped it clean and Tufani almost gave out a shriek of pleasure. But then Mwana heard a roar form her family and she turned about and hurried off home. Tomorrow was going to be the perfect day for them and Mwana's heart was burning in excitement.

In the morning, Mwana went back to the umbrella thorn, the wind was picking up and the rain was thinning but still coming down. There was a thick mist clinging the air and the rain smelt fresh and relieving, a sign of something good that Mwana hoped would be the sign of good things to come from this point on. Her family had agreed that she could leave them and become part of the herd, she knew she would have to live off mice from this point on and not hunt the prey that would need to trust her to protect her. Mwana was thankful for their kindness and her mother had even mused that they would save scraps of meat for her if they stuck in the territory and Mwana was so happy that everyone was with her, at least on her side.

Mwana heard the familiar sound of hooves clopping towards her direction as she straightened up beneath the tree with her face looking out towards the position of the herd. She was worried as she herd more than one set of hooves and first the wildebeest were strolling back onto the landscape in expectation of new grass and a chance to rest. Mwana watched them with a soft blush, she was thankful the rain kept the flies at bay as she looked out through the mists and herds to suddenly spot the striped stallion skipping and weaving through the great gnu to get to the tree where she was smiling towards him.

"Mwana!" As Tufani stepped to her side, she gave a growling purr of pleasure and the pair pressed muzzle together, nuzzling and snuffling before Mwana leapt to his behind. He lifted his tail and she sat up on her hind legs for a moment, holding his back as she snuffled at his anus, taking in a smell that she could swear was made a thousand times more odorous by the lack of good grazing. But she accepted the scent as part of being with him and tenderly she lapped at the black edges around his anus before she dropped down and stepped in front of him. She bent forward to allow him closer access to her exposed backside that puckered and pulsed in expectation as his hot breath rolled over the flesh forming a sensation of pleasure as Tufani then straightened for a moment. "I've got excellent news, my herd has agreed to our union. We'll perform the ceremony tonight when the rain eases more, as soon as the moon is up. But it will be intense Mwana, I have to claim you completely and mark your fur with the herd scent. Are you sure you will accept it, lions are exceptionally clean animals..."

"Of course, I understood that as soon as you proposed to me. I love you Tufani, I'm willing for everything." The lioness growled softly in pleasure, looking up at him lovingly as they nuzzled each other again and she lapped under his chin as his lips strained to sweep over her ears to clean her. They groomed each other a little tenderly for a while, sharing scent as the lion's nose wrinkled and she grimaced every so often for how intense the stink could be. But she continued to groom, sniff and lick at his body to take in his scent before she licked under his belly and his form slid out again. That overpowering scent filled her nose and she pondered just how much scent would be transferred into her just through the act of mating. She then pulled back looking curiously coy as she smiled up at him lovingly. "Did you want to help prepare me again?"

"If you're still willing for me to." Tufani nickered softly as Mwana nodded her head and then turned around, lifting her rear up to face him again as she bent down to lift her backside up even more. The stallion's black muzzle then settled against the predator's exposed back end, his hot breath wafting over her body to make her tremble before his tongue slid out. As with before, his first point of contact was her anus, licking the tight ring that was full exposed and always slightly open. It was sitting a little wide from last night too and swiftly his tongue rolled and slurped all around its form, soaking the ring with his salvia as she shuddered and grunted softly, squeezing out in expectation as then Tufani's big dark tongue slipped into the beckoning hole and Mwana grimaced slightly before he pulled his tongue back out, licked the ring and then slid his tongue in again.

Mwana's body clenched and shuddered, sensations of utter pleasure filling her body as his tongue slid in deep and slipped to the sides, widening the ring and reaching in deep. She was feeling something exciting, something that she could not have thought to know before but it made her almost moan as she felt her hips releasing out and encouraging her to spread her legs and let his tongue reach in deeper. She started to gasp and moan lovingly in excitement before Tufani pulled his tongue out with a snort of pleasure before nibbling at her shoulders and then Mwana lifted herself up even more for him to touch her in her most private place.

Tufani gave a soft snort, his tongue rolling around his jaw in pleasure at the taste of her body before he looked to her excited, perhaps even lewd expression that made him fall from his sheath again. He could not help it, his attachment to Mwana was building up with his love to make him want to take her whether in season or not. But when he snuffled at her backside more and her groin, she gave a low moan, her body was trembling in excitement and she was getting wet there as she gave a groan and his hot breath snuffled around her and noted the strange, distinct excitement he felt for sniffing her on this occasion. He looked towards Mwana curiously and she blushed, reminding him that she was now in heat and Tufani gave a shudder of excitement at the thought of it.

"I want to make you feel good tonight..." Tufani snorted, knowing he was going to need to widen her out and excited that their mating tonight might indeed mean they could conceive a foal together. Tufani was eager to have such a chance and he brought his muzzle to her lips, her tongue straining out and gently wiggling towards the bead that was her clit. Her body clenched and jolted in excitement at this sensation, the moment the tip flicked it and she gave a sharp sound as it twitched against his tongue. Tufani snorted in amusement, his tongue rolled out, thick and slippery with his saliva as he began to roll his tongue against the bead. He shifted about in excitement, his form straining down below as he smelt her juices becoming more prominent as Mwana gave soft sounds of delight and he continued to rub his tongue against it before he slurped upwards. The strong motion split the lips apart wider than before as his tongue slid right between and glazed over her gash as she groaned. Sweet juices glazed his tongue, he pulled it in and out, his lips lifting to recognise that she really was in heat and he could feel his cock thickening and straining out. He was excited, but he had to hold it in until their ceremony tonight.

His tongue then slurped back down, Mwana began to give lower sounds of utter joy as her passage twitched and opened for him, his tongue slid over the gash with pleasure before he sat the tip of his tongue over it. The more he licked the wider it seemed to get and so he stuffed his tongue in, feeling her inside squeeze about him before straining out wide to let him slide in again. He stuffed his tongue in again but pulled back a little, pushing in shallow motions to rub the sides into opening out and Mwana's body trembled and twitched as she moaned loudly in pleasure.

The juices were increasing, the sweet taste becoming addictive and filling Tufani's mouth as his lip continued to curl and he gave low, heavy snorts of pleasure. His tongue continued to press in deeper and deeper, dipping in and out more but staying in deep so that her body pinched around him and then kept wide. Mwana moaned so loud her jaw was drooling, she lifted her back paws, one pushing against his foreleg to get herself higher up and let his tongue in deeper. He pumped his tongue in, snorting heavily with his excitement until he knew he had to stop. If he went too far it would all go wrong and with a sudden quick withdraw, Mwana seemed to roar low in pleasure as something sticky and wet spat out after Tufani's tongue. He quickly cleaned her groin afterwards but then she turned to look at him.

"Oh... that felt wonderful but... but surely I should groom you?" The lioness growled softly in fascination, her face staring up at him with such affection that Tufani's nostrils were twitching in utter excitement as his cock strained out. He knew he could have trouble hiding it when he got back to the herd and somehow, the offer to be groomed there was unique and exciting. Zebra did not lick that area on their stallion, it was left to develop its musk so that the mares would smell like their master. Tufani was almost willing to accept her offer until he thought of that matter and the desire to couple with her and have a foal. He nuzzled her nose and then turned away, insisting he would meet her as soon as the moon was up and steadily he seemed to wobble back towards his herd, letting the rain cover his body and help cool his ardour as Mwana shuddered in pleasure to watch him go. Tonight was going to be a wonderful night....

The moon lifted with the sudden yowl of a jackal seeking its mate and Mwana was fully groomed by her family, fully fed and looking sleek. Upon her return there had been a few males that had come over again just to see if she might reconsider her choice, but she swatted them away, her heart burning in excitement as the sun dipped and the zebra herd sat in shadow with only their silhouettes to mark their position. Of course, Mwana did not need to look when scent and sound told her as much as eyes and they widened to drink in the moonlight and she left the pride in order to join the male she wished to be with forever.

When she approached the herd, the horses lifted their heads and the zebras eyes locked upon the approaching lioness, glad the rain had let up but it was still cool for everyone walking around. Mwana stepped to their side, her expression affectionate as she stared up at the stallion that approached her and was looking perhaps even nervous. Suddenly the mares were all snuffling at her, nuzzling and licking at her coat as she nuzzled them back, the adults all insisting that they were very happy that she would going to be a member of their herd from now on and Mwana was delighted and elated to think that the entire herd wanted her amongst them. When she then heard the soft grunt of her mother, father and sister joining up with the herd too, the animals all circled around them all and it was just Tufani and Mwana together and the ceremony was about to begin....

Immediately, Tufani went to snuffle at her backside, his nose twitching as he breathed in deeply and snorted over her body. She relaxed her body, pleased to feel his muzzle so close to her again and then gently she felt his nose pressing to her exposed anus as his tongue the slid out. Just like before it glazed her form back and forth, making her ring flex and strain out as Tufani then continued to keep sniffling and snuffing before he gently stuck the tip of his tongue inside. She gave a soft moan of pleasure as Tufani's tongue flickered fast around her ring, glad that her passage was quick to open wide for him as he stuck his tongue deeper in, flicking it up and down to taste her body as Mwana gave loud moans of utter pleasure.

Tufani's tongue was making the insides of her body wetter, making it roll and squeeze with pleasure that made her want to holler out with joy. Mwana could hardly believe how good it felt to feel his tongue so deep inside, how it burnt but then soothed with each movement and she continued to moan loudly until Tufani's tongue pulled out. He then snuffled at her anus gently as she moaned softly with her pleasure, before his black lips pressed to her lower lips, wriggling and pushing to kiss the lips to open them all the more for him. His tongue's work upon her anus was startling, it was still sitting out wide and puckering as Mwana encouraged her body to relax out for him to go further and Tufani's form slid out from its sheath again in his excitement. His tongue slipped over the lips, coating them in his growing excitement as they widened and the gash presented its opening to him, still wide from their morning attention.

Tufani gave a soft whicker, insisting that he loved her greatly as his tongue slid straight into the passage and suddenly Mwana's body stiffened with a growl of pleasure. Within there was so many juices and sweet tastes within, such excitement in the form of honey that Tufani's tongue rolled within. He slurped his tongue straight back into her mouth, making her give out a gasp of pleasure as he stroked it into his jaws before stuffing his tongue in again. Mwana moaned loudly, her body straining wider for him, his tongue rolling around inside to make him grunt in excitement as he continued to wiggle and roll his tongue inside, stretching her out as Mwana gave a gasp and yet a moan in her pleasure as he pulled her out widely for him as Tufani then pulled back.

Now was the more difficult part, with his great long cock straightened out and puling in excitement, he knew the heavy scent would make Mwana turn her head, but instead she straightened up. Mwana stood firm and stared forward with her hindlegs stretched out and waiting with anticipation for what was to come. Tufani was cautious, he was anxious that he might hurt her a lot, but calmly he stepped his forelegs around the sides of the lioness' body and let his cock strain out to rub against Mwana's body. The burning heat and the suddenly strong scent of the stinking stallion made Mwana feel just a tad bit dizzy, it was a very exciting scent and she almost trembled at the hot sensation stroking between her lips, it was burning hot as she was a little scared but also excited, practically trembling on her feet as Tufani lined himself up.

Tufani's tip tapered between the lower lips before the zebra finally pushed his long form as deep in as he could manage. He could feel the walls of it grabbing him, trying to hold him back and yet relaxing to get right out as Mwana gave out a gasp of shock and pain to feel him so deep within her. Tufani snorted gently, she was now a mated member of the herd, she would never allow another stallion to touch her unless he defeated Tufani in battle... she was his and he would never let anyone else dare to take her. He let his form sit within her body as she gasped and choked, pulling in air to stop the sensation of her head drowning as she wanted to faint away, but at the same time it felt so good.

She knew she was impaled upon him, she would never be able to break free of this embrace and yet she would not wish to. As her passage twitched and pinched around him, her body poured honey over his length to fill it with something more soothing and easing as Mwana gave a sigh. Then Tufani pulled back, the sudden pull back made Mwana's spine suddenly jangle up and down her spine, her jaw opened and shook, drool falling from her jaw as she gasped and tremored in pleasure at the strange sensations stroking her insides. The reaction made Tufani want to hear her roar out, to cry in joy as he then thrust in again with a firm grunt, his hips pushing as Mwana gave a sharp cry of surprise and pain, feeling it go in deeper yet pulling back more. Once more he pulled back slowly as she gave lower moans of pleasure, her body was stretched out enough, he could feel there had been some tearing and there was the smell of blood, but the scent of his odour was enough to drown Mwana from noticing... but gentility was over.

Suddenly, the stallion gave a heavy snort and then his hips were ducking in and out, pumping his long phallus into her as deep and as fast as he could. His breath spilled over her, his motions were harsh, stretching her out as she felt herself almost being ripped in half, the pain around her hips increasing to the point she was whimpering and growling. Her body seemed to creak uncomfortably, she was not sure she could really handle it, but she dug her paws down into the ground and tried to breathe with the motions, let his withdrawal gain a gasp and his thrust to make her cough. It was hard, tiring and yet she was coping and getting through it as she moaned loudly and Tufani's speed only increased.

The faster he went, the wide the hole got, the more of her honey coated his cock as he pulled back gently, pulling out the trickling juices to stain her body as he pushed his phallus downward. He started to rub along her clit as he continued to thrust, almost pulling her right back with his cock before thrust forward again to make her wobble. For hitting this spot now though, Mwana's brain began to twist and she found a new pleasure overcoming her body to make her gasp and groan. As he stopped taking such deep dives, his cock swelling within till she could swear she felt it was sitting inside her womb, Tufani began to make shallower, faster dips that she could breathe to. Steadily she began to pant and huff, producing satisfied sound of 'ah' and 'uh' with each motion as she felt herself getting wetter, the movement becoming slicker and the trembling in the cock that was about to blow tickling every cluster of nerves within her body.

Mwana began to groan in expectation as Tufani worked harder and harder, moving as fast as he could, his nostrils flaring pink as he snorted and strained, resisting the urge to put a hoof on her shoulder unless he hurt her. As Mwana began to start giving low growls, little cries of pleasure at the penetrations, the excitement began to build in Tufani and he hurried himself onward. He continued to thrust into her more and more, his tail lifting as his excitement urged and expulsion that the herd noted as a good sign that the first stage of the ritual was coming to an end. Mwana felt like her eyes were sweating, her whole body was unbearably hot and her feet were becoming numb, but she remained braced against the wide belly of the zebra, accepting his form as he hurried on with firm humps to her exposed, tail-less rump as he hurried on to the first close.

Suddenly, the rubbing to her clit and the intense pressure within that had started to make her want to gag and choke was ruptured. It seemed to cause her to groan before roaring out in a shrieking tone to say that she'd achieved an orgasm, to give a cry of pleasure that pleased her parents as they watched on and nodded their wise heads. Even the zebra herd were aware of the sound and gladder as Tufani let out a squealing sound of pleasure. Her body had gripped and squeezed him so tightly that he had managed his first orgasm and expelled his seed into her body. His form rattled within her, squirting and squeezing out as much as possible and filling her up so much it dribbled down his shaft and onto the ground. With a snort he withdrew quickly with the wettest sound imaginable and Mwana gave a gasp of shock. She wobbled on unsteady legs, but she knew she had to remain standing as it was not over yet.

Tufani stepped back to watch his handiwork, her snatch widened out to the point it would never fully settle, fully exposed to the air and coated in his creamy seed that frothed as it mixed with the juices of her pleasure to slip out as her body tremored. With her own kind, this would be when the male would take five minutes to breathe before mounting again, but for Tufani it was not long before his cock was straining out and his muzzle was to her backside again. He continued to lap at the wider but still small hole above and her snatch shuddered and the hideously pungent odour of his cum filled Mwana's nose to make her almost retch. She knew zebra smelt, but she could not have predicted that his cum held such a powerful stench and she had the feeling the smell would not depart.

But before Mwana could brace herself anymore, his forelegs wrapped about her and he gave a soft wheeze of pleasure as he brought his sticky and wet cock to her backside. This time it tried to barge and squeeze into her backside, Mwana had to push her body up against his belly as she groaned and yowled at the pain. He was not getting in as easily as he had her snatch, her ring tightening and trying to push him away as Mwana tried to relax and Tufani gave a snort. She could already hear the mares muttering that if this was not complete than the ceremony was a dud, it was enough for Mwana to suck in her courage and relax as the thick, wet head snagged on a corner, stretching the ring out as she growled in agony before somehow, he slipped in and slipped right in!

Suddenly the lioness lurched forward, almost vomiting for the sudden strange sensation of something burning hot and thick, burrowing into her body, punching every wall of flesh that tried to stop it aside until Mwana could swear she felt it within her body. Her eyes watered, she felt like fainting, desperate for air and when she sucked and gulped in air, Tufani was standing over her proudly and looking rather content at the thought of having managed to bury himself right into his mate's body to the point his sheath was right to her anus. She was fully impaled, unable to move and at his mercy and Tufani's excitement was not going to let him be merciful and Mwana would accept, after-all she had to be submissive and it would be over soon....

Tufani strained his head forward, grunting and snorting as his hips rocked again, but this time with more speed and deeper thrusts, pulling back to make her gasp in relief before stabbing forward to give her just as much of a burning pain. Her rim had been pulsing against him for a while, but with the constant motion it had practically given up to keep this seemingly hungry mouth open to accept whatever was on offer. The sound was loud, wet, squishy and almost unpleasant as air squeezed out with each motion to make Mwana feel awkward and embarrassed. Still, she braced herself and was moaning for the speed that building up a new pleasure within her body from the pressure. She was not quite sure where this feeling came from, but she knew that on this occasion, Tufani was moving too fast and it was likely he would rush it.

The more he continued on, the stronger the foul scent of his body and cum became about her, the more aroused she was the stronger the stench and Mwana could not stop making loud pants and letting her tongue hang out as she moaned and strained. Her body was being rocked constantly back and forth, as he was so buried into her body that each of his motions she was forced to copy and moaned with each slapping motion of his body into hers. She could feel that her body was leaking excitement and the whole time his cum was squeezing out of her body and Mwana could not stop herself from whining and growling with that same pleasure of everything within her body being rubbed into life.

When Tufani kept hearing her sounds, his excitement only grew before he pushed his hooves firmly into the ground with one final hard thrust before producing a snotty snort of pleasure as he came again. His seed poured into her body, seemingly filling her stomach and she could feel it as a burning sensation within and Mwana almost wanted to vomit. But as he pulled out, the withdrawal caused that roar of pleasure and joy to explode from her jaw as he then dismounted and an even thicker scent of foul cum clung to Mwana's body. She spread her forelegs to keep herself steady, almost wanting to faint but there was one last part to do. Tufani was stock-still for a moment, admiring that great gaping chasm of her backside that was pinching and twitching, unable to close at all and the fluids were trickling out to show his wonderful work. Tufani gave a snort and then his mother spoke out.

"She has remained standing through the mating and has gained honour... now she must be joined to our herd and that alone will mark her as Tufani's mate." This older zebra stated with a firm snort of understanding as she looked towards the other members of the herd, which were nodding their heads in understanding. Their noses pressed forward, sucking in the strong musky odour from Tufani's cum with excitement, hopeful that this was indeed a sign of good things for the future and Tufani was quick to nuzzle Mwana and reassure her that it was time to perform the last part. Mwana looked towards him with affection, though her body was already exhausted and she kept shuddering with pleasure against the cum that was slowly starting to ebb out of her body and her anus kept twitching. Her whole insides felt raw, sore and she was not quite sure how she was even feeling about it all.

"Last part..." Tufani whispered to her softly as he nuzzled her shoulder, and then turned his backside to her shoulder. Mwana could smell the strong stench of that stallion's musk again from his cock that was slowly slipping up into the sheath but still dribbling little bits of cum and excitement. It startled Mwana to know that the scent from his backside was perhaps far more stronger and Mwana's body quaked to feel him pressed against her body and almost leaning onto her body. His long tail lifted up and slid over her back, she could feel his own anus ring puckering and pinching against her body, but it was clear from the scent that he was still smelling hideously of dung and she grimaced as he ring pushed out and an expulsion that was almost followed upon laced something hot and almost wet upon her body before Tufani turned away and looked at her firmly. "You're mine now..."

With that, the herd exploded in whinnies and whickers of utter pleasure, squealing and neighing in joy and greeting for all. Mwana looked to her body, she could not see anything on her, but she could certainly smell something very strong and she did not quite like it. However, she was just happy as her family began to roar in joy and she began to roar alongside them, ready for the chance to sleep afterwards. But within her body, the strong motions of Tufani's cock within her body had tickled her ovaries into producing eggs and as they floated down towards her womb during the course of the night, his sperm was waiting and one egg was swarmed and flooded by the sperm until, just like the stallion to have produced it, the sperm penetrated the egg and filled it with growing joy.

Months went by with a wonderful feel of freshness and expectation within the landscape as the rain filled the ground with life and the herds returned. Mwana was brought over to her parents once every free days for a good meal of meat whilst Tufani would stand nearby protectively and then groom her backside and her pussy, keeping the whole stretched out wide and the foul scent constant. Every day since marking her, they would chase each other, rest and he would graze whilst she slept on and on until the darkness would come and Tufani would take her aside to mate her. The second day she'd needed to lounge over a rock, gaining a little more height and relief to push all her weight into the rock whilst his thick cock had slammed in and out of her body, stretching her heated passage out, forcing her juices to trickle down and stain the stone before he would cum and the thick pleasure would sit in for a little while before slowly dripping in gentle droplets out of her snatch. He would then rear up onto the rock and he would then ensure his stinking cum would become buried into her anus, making her gasp and moan and cry out in utter joy for the pleasure.

The next few days it would not be in the darkness and it would indeed be at any point that Tufani found himself eager to nuzzle her and give her loving. Mwana was excited each time he approached her, licking and rolling his tongue within her anus and then her pussy, making her legs strain out in pleasure before his thick cock would press against the permanently widened out passages, stroking against her body and then stuffing itself right in. As time went by, his constant mating, leaving Mwana moaning and drooling in ecstasy, was leaving it so her holes remained gaping and could be looked into. As time went by and it got hotter again, the flies began to bother her and crawl in, but Tufani would lick them away and keep her within the herd to help ward them off, his tail flicking around to clear the pests away from her backside.

As time went by, Mwana began to feel something stirring within her, something that was fluttering and alive and growing. No matter how slowly she was starting to notice the change, the change was there and her stomach was starting to swell. She could see it in some of the other mares in the herd, she knew very well that they were pregnant and steadily she began to understand that this was indeed what was happening with her. The more it became obvious, the more she grew happy and joyful and one day, after Tufani's tongue was caressing her gaping gash again, noticing the change in taste but glad his scent had not departed form it, Mwana turned about to look at him with a loving expression of affection as he paused to nuzzle her.

"Tufani... I've got some wonderful news for you..." Mwana had beamed in delight when Tufani had lifted his head and stepped right to her side. His tail swished about to keep the flies away, his muzzle pressing to her cheeks as she scented him and lapped at him lovingly as the stallion waited expectantly for her news. As he waited, Mwana noticed that some of the other herd members had turned their ears towards them in fascination and they were all eager to hear this news. Mwana was giving a soft growl of delight as she then lapped Tufani's nose and sighed. "I'm going to have a foal or cub in the next rainy season... are you happy?"

There was a sudden shriek of excitement from the stallion, he leapt about suddenly, bucking and kicking at the sky, rearing up and screaming out in joy. He then immediately began to chase the herd around, rushing about them and spreading his news as they all laughed at his delight before turning to Mwana. Each member of the herd stepped over to her side to nuzzle her, snuffle her belly and then congratulate her. They were all being very kind and finally, Tufani stopped chasing around in excitement to reach Mwana's side again before standing over her proudly and puffing out his chest. Mwana knew there was no way her mate was not happy....

The dry season came and went, it was shorter and less aggressive than before, there was enough grass and enough meat for the herd and the pride. Mwana was swelling up so much and her nipples were so fat that they would leak if she jogged too much. Tufani would make her stop, beckon her to lie in the damp grass and then lap her swollen belly, watching something jolt and kick within her belly and Tufani was excited to see it every day. Mwana could not travel too much with such a round belly, she was often brought food by her parents who kept an eye on her and were excited at the thought of becoming grandparents. Her mother encouraged her to find a good den site, but Tufani explained that the herd would surround her, she would not birth alone and she would be protected. It had made the lions a little anxious about the matter, however Mwana was content with this idea and glad when the rains came and during one violent storm, she was not the only female going into labour.

As Mwana's body rattled and rolled with painful contractions, she was watching one of the other mares in the herd lying on her side and snorting, heaving and groaning as her tail was up and Mwana witnessed her slow and steady birth. Mwana was aware from the contractions within her belly that she would be about to go through the same kind of experience and then, as the other mare's body seemed to widen out, the face of new life followed and Mwana's heart was trembling. The sudden expulsion of the foal from the other mare caused the other herd members to shriek and squeal in joint delight for the new member of the herd as Tufani then nuzzled at Mwana.

"See... its not so bad despite what it looks like, you'll be able to get through this!" The stallion whickered lovingly, stepping behind Mwana and snuffling at her backside in an attempt to soothe her. However, Mwana was still anxious as her stomach felt like it would split open instead of the rest of her and Mwana began to give out soft cries of pain. She began to pant and whimper softly, soon copying the motion of the mare as Tufani lapped at her to try and help her out. Mwana lay on her side and lifted up a hind leg, resting it calmly over Tufani's head as she gave a sudden snort of appreciation, excited to see what their child would be but also eager to help Mwana relax as she began to take in deep breaths. Other mares pressed over, nuzzling towards Mwana and insist she would be fine and she was thankful for their affection.

Her body was squeezing and pressing desperate to push out the baby within her body and she whimpered and fussed with a soft growl as her body began to roll with stronger contractions. Fluid began to trickle down from her pussy and Tufani lapped at her edges to help her feel more relieved as she groaned and the baby began to emerge. There was a firm stretching within her body, pulling her whole form apart and she grasped at the ground as she moaned in hideous pain and Tufani snorted, beckoning the life out as a small foal-like shape began to pulse steadily out of Mwana's body. She strained and groaned, desperate to remove the baby from her body as she growled and moaned in more pain before the forelegs and head were out and Tufani beckoned her to stand up. Mwana stood and to her great shock and relief, the foal emerged and she practically fainted upon the grass again. But though the foal was out, the contractions did not stop and Mwana realised a new baby was coming out!

Tufani snuffled and lapped the foal, it was curiously smaller than any other, delighted to see it was male with brown stripes and he nuzzled at his son gently, urging the foal to stand. The foal was indeed smaller than the others born thus far in the herd, but the colt was quick to get up on his legs and stepped to his mother's side as his father licked and groomed his son gently. But as soon as he realised that his son was content and eager to nurse, Tufani turned to hear Mwana give out a low gasp and for a large looking strangely coloured lion cub to be born from her body. Tufani hurried to groom the area, licking his mate's gash clean before licking at the cub, a daughter. With there no more signs of births to come, Mwana turned onto her side and gently swung her paw out to scoop up her daughter and lick her until she gave a mewl, before she lay the cub to her swollen nipples. Lying on her back, her zebra son then moved forward and was quick to start suckling as eagerly as his sister and Tufani gave out a triumphant echoing neigh of joy!

Years passed by, almost six had gone by and the herd and the pride were doing well and content with their curious relations. Tufani's father and mother had departed from the herd to join the other old animals, leaving Tufani in the position of the herd leader and Mwana was very pleased with her mate. The pair had been proving a wonderful set of parents and very proud of their children, now they have five elder babes to take care of with two female cubs, two colts and a filly! They were a very happy herd with these cubs, their eldest daughter was now considering her time to leave, a handsome male rogue had been visiting the edge of the territory eager to talk to her and well, they were looking very interested in one another.

Mwana's younger lion daughter was spending more time with her grandparents in the lion pride, eager to learn to hunt and be like them. It was almost sad to think that their cubs were growing up so fast and their foals were different as well, though Mwana was very busy fussing her latest foal, another colt her yearling filly foal was becoming quite giddy. She was taller than some of the other foals born, very giggly and constantly casing around with her male friend amongst the wildebeest herd. It had made Tufani rather curious of whether there could be something there between them, but Mwana had swatted his nose for the thought and insisted they were too young to know yet.

The two young stallions were a different matter as well and always up to mischief. Their eldest son was the prize of the herd, he'd grown larger and longer in the leg, very powerful and indeed could chase off any of the predators that tried to get involved in eating the herd! The mares and fillies were all interested in him and Tufani was very eager about the future for him. Their second son was also doing well, he was the fastest in the herd but he liked to stick near his younger siblings, always eager to look after them and keeping his mother safe too. But, upon watching their two youngest foals playing together, Tufani settled down to lie on the ground beside Mwana who was sunbathing and gently they nuzzled each other, before licking at each other as Mwana gave a sigh.

"I can't believe I could have such a wonderful family for being with a zebra... let alone to be so in love with one... I love you Tufani." Mwana growled softly as she licked at her mate's muzzle and he nibbled at her shoulders softly. He nodded his head, watching the youngsters playing with each other as he produced a soft snort of pleasure and then nibbled at her ear.

"And I couldn't be happier with anyone else... and all out children..."

The End
