With a triumphant sigh of approval, Bonzai lay down with his prize. He'd managed to snipe an entire leg away from the recent kill the lioness had brought in. They were bringing in less and less these days with the herds moving farther south. Competition was fierce!

He was gonna enjoy this in peace and quiet. A nap would be needed afterwards of course. There really was nothing like a full belly and a warm rock to nap on. He grinned and leaned in to lick at the side of the zebra leg, the blood trickling into his mouth tasting like nectar from the Great Kings themselves.

He shivered happily. "Ooh hoo hoo, time to dig in--"

A nearby noise interrupted his banquet. He growled, angling his gaze to the swath of tall grass nearby. His eyes narrowed.

"Whoever is over there," He snarled, baring his teeth. "You better stay over there if you know what's good for you!"

The grass stopped rustling. He snorted. "Yeah I thought so--" The fresh scent of lion reached his nose and he felt his ears pin back instantly.

Ahh crap if it's one of the lioness I'm screwed. He braced his front paws in the dirt, teeth gripping around the bone of the leg in case he had to make a hasty retreat. My best chance is to run for it...They'll over power me and...wait...I know that scent...

He blinked and sniffed again. No doubt about it. How did she get all the way out here?!

He lowered the leg back to the ground and squinted at the grass. "Nala? Is that you in there?"

The grass rustled again and the young cub cautiously came out of her hiding spot. Her belly was low and scraping the dirt, ears pinned back in submission, eyes at his paws. Her tail was tucked underneath her and she was trembling.

More than that, his eyes travelled to her sides, where her ribs were just barely beginning to show. Her fur was dirty, her claws were marred with splits, and her paw pads were worn from all the running she'd been doing.

She's been trying to stay with her mother ever since we moved in. But they go on hunts way more frequently. She's had to hide a lot, and I don't blame her, sometimes it's really tempting to see her as potential food...

His teeth flashed again as she drew closer. That made her flinch and stop. "What are you doing out here, cub? Your mom nearby?" He gazed around the grassy area, hearing the wind and nothing more.

"N-no...she told me to stay by the kill...b-but I couldn't get any food."

Her tummy rumbled right then and she winced. "And then I saw...you. You had a whole leg and no one but me saw you sneak off with it." Her eyes traveled over to the leg he was guarding, she subtly licked her lips, and he immediately put a paw on it and growled.

"And you thought you'd try and steal a bite or two while I wasn't looking huh? He rolled his eyes and growled deeper. "Well fat chance of--"

"No!"

He blinked in confusion, an ear tilting down. "No? What do ya mean 'no'?"

Nala lowered her gaze to the dirt, Her cheeks reddened and she rubbed a paw against her stomach. "I...I thought maybe I could...earn some?"

He blinked slowly and gave her a flat look. "Earn some? How would you do that?"

Nala shrugged. "I don't know...is there anything you want?"

He pointed down at the leg. "Kinda already got what I want, so if that's your best try then you can scoot along back to--."

"What about anything you need?"

Need? What does she mean by that? Bonzai kept his ears alert in case this was some kind of ruse to get him to drop his guard. He gave her question an honest thought though. What did he need?

Had any of his needs been neglected? He had food, he had water, he had a warm place to sleep. He had plenty of time on his paws, and lots of company, although none of the females had recently allowed him to breed them so that was--

Bonzai suddenly blushed as images of the cub underneath him came to mind. "N-Nope! I don't got anything I need, not a single thing! Now git."

Nala's perception wasn't terrible, however and she noticed. "You do need something, I saw it!"

Bonzai growled more. "Kid, it's nothing you can help me with, trust me on that one. Only an adult female can help me with that sort of thing and you aren't even a--"

"Is it...is it sexual?" Nala asked looking down at her paws. Her tail had curled around her paw pads and a bright blush covered her cheeks.

Bonzai grimaced and pinned his ears back as well. "How...did you figure that out so easily?" He asked quietly. Nala frowned and rubbed her shoulder.

"King Scar, he um...sometimes tells me to do...stuff... when we are alone." She looked down at Bonzai's sheath and balls, pointing with a paw. "I do stuff w-with those..."

Bonzai was now beet red. His king was doing illicit stuff with a cub...wow...okay ya learn something new every day but what the heck Scar!? The area fell silent for a few moments before his curiosity got the best of him. "W-what does he ah...have you do?" He rubbed at his neck. "W-with his ah...genitals?"

Nala looked at the meat and then frowned. "He um...He told me not to tell anyone."

"Kid, you just told me." Bonzai smirked and to his surprise felt arousal surge in his loins. He had an idea... he pointed to the leg.

"Hmm, Nala, how badly do you want this meat?"

Nala stood and her tail twitched hopefully. Her stomach protested angrily and she winced. "I haven't eaten in three days...I really want some, just a couple bites, pleeeeeeease?" she showed all of her teeth in the biggest smile she could muster.

Okay he had to admit her hopeful smile was kinda cute. He grinned. "A-alright...Lets make a trade then...meat for meat..."

Nala watched as he sat up and beckoned her over. "A trade? Um, okay..." She crawled over to him, noting how his cock was slowly slipping from his sheath and into view. She blushed harder, her ears pinning back.

He leaned down when she was close enough and nodded. "Yup, in return for this meat..." He patted the zebra leg a couple times, then he gently tilted his cock towards her face. "I want you to pleasure, this meat."

Nala felt his paw on her nape, and he gently but assertively pulled her head down near the erection, her cheek fur pushing into his belly fur. His arousal hit her nostrils and she scrunched up her nose. He didn't smell like Scar did. Scar was an acidic scent, hard on the nose. Bonzai's was better in a way...his scent was soft, and deeper...

She blushed more as he began petting her neck and shoulders gently. Soothing her nerves as his hips softly humped, grinding the shaft against her face. She grimaced but closed her eyes and began rubbing into it with her cheek and forehead.

"Heh, that's a good girl," He murmured. "Just do as I ask and you'll have a fully belly in no time, okay?" He reassured her with a gentle smile while his shaft lowered and prodded against her mouth and lips. "Now, open up that muzzle."

"Y-yes sir..." She murmured, opening her lips to allow him in.
