Guard duty for the Pride-lands in times of peace was kind of like asking a lioness to look out for lightning on a blue sky day...it was extremely rare that trouble would rear its head.

and for Vitani, as she belted out a yawn that tested the tensile strength of her jaw muscles, that meant it was boring as fuck. Sure she could get up and meander her way around the massive stone monolith the pride called home, but she'd already done that today four times.

The only noteworthy thing being that she nabbed a ground gofer for her lunch.

A sigh broke her lips apart and she rolled her shoulders. "This is better than my former life...this is better than my former life..."

"What is better?" A voice broke her mumblings and Vitani caught her self before she jumped. Guard Lioness, and ones as skilled as she was, did not get caught off guard.

She angled her ears and then her head back to catch sight of Princess Kiara, as she hopped down the rocks. She looked radiant a usual...

"J-just the scenery, your majesty." Vitani inwardly cursed as a stutter came out. "I was thinking about how it's much greener than the ah...outlands were."

Kiara ambled up to her side and hummed, tilting her head from side to side a moment before chuckling. "So then it's better, but boring?"

Vitani glanced at her "Pardon?"

Kiara giggled, and Vitani fought down the urge to twitch her tail in enjoyment. Kiara's voice was birdsong, but her laugh...it was silken gold spun by the great kings themselves.

"I mean, that yawn you gave a moment ago was huuuuge." Kiara rolled her eyes and chuckled as Vitani failed to stutter out a defense.

"W-Well that was...I wasn't..." Kiara giggled more, and Vitani huffed and slouched, her gaze landing on a rock several meters away from their position. "Okay yes. it's very boring."

A shoulder connected with hers as Kiara leaned into her. "Yeah? boring hmm?"

Without even glancing at her, Vitani made a huff. "Yup."

Then to Vitani's surprise, Kiara stepped foreword and sit right in front of Vitani, blocking her view. "Well then how's this? Is the scenery better now?"

Vitani's tail thrashed behind her before she could stop it and the blush that leaped onto her face was unavoidable. "I-I, what, What kind of question is that, Princess. Of c-course you make it better..."

Kiara grinned her confidant smile, the one that said she'd moved in on her prey, and Vitani felt her heart flutter as the princess leaned in and fluttered her eyelashes slowly. "Not boring anymore?" She whispered."

Vitani felt her throat seize and she coughed, slapped a paw down onto her tail to keep it from whipping around wildly, and quickly snapped her eyes forward over the top of Kiara's head reflexively. "N-No your majesty. Never boring with you around."

Kiara hummed, her smile only growing. "I see. Well I came out here looking for something."

Vitani's gaze fell back to Kiara instantly. "Oh?"

Then she realized she'd fallen right into the princess's trap. Kiara was slowly gliding forward. her hips swaying sensually, and her tongue licking her lips slowly as she practically shoved her head under Vitani's chin and nuzzled deeply into her neck for.

"P-Princess!?" Vitani gasped, "W-what are you looking f–"

"A strong....sexy...lioness..." Kiara's husky growl under her throat released a shiver that launched it's way up and then down her spine so violently, she let her tail go and it thrashed wildly around in excitement.

Then a warm collection of pawpads groped and squeezed Vitani's upper right teat, pressing it and then rolling the nub around. Vitani gasped and then her eyes widened as Kiara spoke once more.

"Oh look..." Kiara whispered, lifting one of Vitani's paws to settle on her back. "I found one."
