In the Pale Moonlight

Kion

Night had fallen over the pridelands.

A deep red glow spread out across the horizon, the last vestige of the setting sun, the stars had already begun to appear and the full moon was slowly rising. A gentle breeze blew through the air ruffling Kion’s fur as he sat atop the promontory of Pride Rock. He gazed out across the vista before him taking in the sights of the pridelands for perhaps the last time.

The breeze was warm and the air smelled sweet, he breathed deeply of the scents of the pridelands and listened to the sounds of the nocturnal animals as they rose from their sleep to begin their day. It was, in a word, peaceful. 

Kion was, for the first time in as long as he could remember, at peace. The pain in his eye from Ushari’s bite had finally faded to a mere memory and his body had been purged of the snake’s venom. There were times when he thought this day would never come, he had accepted that he would likely be in pain for the rest of his life, but to his surprise, he had awoken one morning after Nirmala had finished working with him to find that the pain he had been living with for so long had gone. On top of that, he had now fully mastered the roar and was soon to return to the place of its origin to begin his new life. 

As he looked out over the pridelands, he thought this would be a sad occasion, the pridelands had been his home for his entire life, he and his friends had spent years protecting them, had come to know the residents on a personal level and had become invested in their lives. However, he no longer wore the mark of the lion guard, he had handed over the duties of protecting the pridelands, and the roar of the elders, to Vitani, it was she and her lionesses that now wore the mark of the guard. Vitani had taken over the lion guard in Kion’s absence and he was sure that the pridelands and its residents were in good paws with her.

Instead of the mark of the guard, Kion and his friends now all wore the mark of the night pride, and instead of sadness at leaving what had been his home, he felt excitement at starting a new chapter of his life. He had found a new home at the Tree of Life and a new family in Rani, without even really realizing it he had fallen in love with her, as she had with him. Although their relationship had not started well, they had grown to trust and respect each other and in the short time they had spent with each other those feelings had deepened first to friendship and then to love. It was unfortunate that they hadn't really had a chance to explore those feelings before Kion had been called back to the pridelands, but now the threat had been dealt with and the pridelands were once again at peace he couldn’t wait to return to Rani and his new home.

At some point during Kion’s reverie, Kiara had sat beside him, while he hadn’t noticed her approach he had become aware of her presence, the scent in the air had changed and he could feel the warmth of her body beside him.

“Taking one last look?” she asked gently.

“I hate to waste a good view,” he said as he turned to face her, a slight grin on his face. Grinning back at him, Kiara turned to look out over the pridelands and for a time the pair sat in companionable silence. 

“Take a walk with me?” She asked quietly after a while, leaning into him. Kion nodded and the pair rose and slowly descended Pride Rock. With no destination in mind, Kion allowed himself to be led by Kiara.

The pair talked while they walked, catching up on everything they had missed while Kion had been away. Kiara spoke of her first hunt, of meeting Kovu again and of falling in love with him. She spoke of the battle with Zira and how the outsiders had joined with the pridelanders. In return, Kion told her of the adventures the guard had during their journey to the Tree of Life, of all the animals they had met and befriended. He also spoke of Makucha and the other enemies they had made and how they had followed the guard to the Tree of Life. he spoke about the rocky start to their relationship with the Night Pride and how they had been called upon to help protect the tree from Makucha.

“It was rough for a while,” he said somberly. “Some days were real bad. The pain in my eye and the venom, I didn’t know if I’d ever be cured of it.” He paused, then continued quietly, “There were days when I hoped I wouldn’t.” He blinked back a few tears that had begun forming. “If not for my friends and Rani and the night pride I wouldn’t have made it. They really did save my life.”

Kiara had moved closer to Kion as he spoke, their sides touching, offering comfort to her brother. “I’m glad they were there for you,” she said. “It sounds like you’re all a lot closer now.”

“We are,” Kion responded, “I think of them all as family now, just as much as you or Mom or Dad. Especially Fuli, she was really there for me when the other’s couldn’t be.” he went on to tell Kiara about how they’d slept with each other the night before the battle for the pridelands, and about how Fuli had continued helping him during their journey.

Kiara nudged him as they walked, “I always knew there was something going on between you two.” She laughed. Cocking an eyebrow she asked, “Was she good?” with a sly grin.

Now it was Kion’s turn to laugh, “oh, yes!” he said emphatically. “She knows what she’s doing,” he added. 

Kiara laughed out loud at this. “What about you and Rani?” She asked.

“We actually haven’t,” Kion said. “Yet!” He added hastily, “We were still figuring things out when I was called back to the pridelands, so we didn’t really have a chance. How about you and Kovu?” He asked, “How’s he?”

Kiara faltered a little as they walked, her grin not quite reaching her eyes. “Well, he was a virgin our first time. Zira was pretty hard on him growing up so he didn’t have a lot of time for that sort of thing.” She perked up a bit as she continued, “I had to teach him quite a bit, but he’s getting there.” Then, with a look towards Kion she added, “I’ve had better.” she let that comment hang in the air.

Kion, suddenly aware of his surroundings, noticed that the pair had stopped walking. Looking around quickly, he noticed that they were in his little hilltop oasis, away from the prying eyes of the pridelands. The moon had fully risen by this point, the still waters of the small pond reflecting the moonlight bathing the area in a silvery glow. Something in the air had changed, it was now charged, electric, and Kion was now hyper-aware of every little detail. He could hear Kiara’s breathing, feel every strand of her fur as her shoulder brushed against his, he could even taste her subtle pheromones in the air. He wondered to himself if this was her plan all along or if coincidence had led them to this place.

“This was where we first …” she trailed off. And many more times since then, Kion thought to himself. Kiara leaned into Kion, so close her whiskers tickled her ear, “You’re better than Kovu.” She whispered. A shiver went down Kion’s back making all his fur stand on end. Kiara withdrew slowly and Kion turned to see her with a smouldering look on her face.

Kiara

“You’re better than Kovu,” Kiara whispered into Kion’s ear. She’d sidled up next to him, pressing her side to his, and felt him shudder as she spoke.

If this was to be Kion’s last night in the pridelands, Kiara wanted to give him a proper farewell. Despite being in love with Kovu, she would miss these liaisons with Kion, but more than that she would miss him. Their relationship had improved so much, she had come to rely on him, to trust his judgment, and even without the sex, she enjoyed spending time with him. She could see how much he loved Rani, and she wouldn’t ever dream of keeping him from her, but they could have one last night of passion. One last night of the best sex she’d ever had.

He had a confused look on his face, but as she continued to watch him she saw that expression change to realisation as to what was about to happen. She felt his breathing increase and his muscles tighten as his expression changed to arousal. Kiara smiled to herself, Kion had obviously not been expecting the evening to take this turn, but once he understood what it was Kiara wanted he embraced the situation. It had been sudden but Kiara could tell he wanted this as much as she did.
Without any further words, Kiara allowed herself to be pushed gently onto her back as Kion climbed atop her. Their mouths met in a gentle kiss, there would be time for passion later, but for now, they were going to take their time. Kiara wrapped her forelegs around Kion’s frame, pulling him further into her, she felt his heart rate increase as they kissed, felt his physical arousal grow against her. She surrendered to the feeling of her brother’s body against hers, the subtle movements of his chest against hers, the tender strokes of his paws at her sides, closing her eyes she shut out the world around her.

She had no idea how long they had been like this, time having lost all meaning to her, when suddenly her breath caught in her throat as Kion began to move, slowly grinding his body into hers. Kiara’s muscles tensed at this sudden spike in arousal, her claws gently digging into his shoulders at his movement. As Kion continued to thrust against her, she slowly started to move one of her forepaws down his body accepting that things were starting to move on. 

Her paw moved between them until it reached Kion’s penis, now fully erect. She began to gently stroke him as he moved against her, her grip was light but she could tell it was affecting him. His cock jumped in her paw and he withdrew from the kiss with a pant. She looked deeply into his eyes, and he into hers, she saw the increasing desperation in them as she gave him pleasure. She watched as he grit his teeth and panted, the sight caused her own arousal to spike anew, this was one of the hottest things she’d ever seen. With little thought to the mess they were about to make, she tightened her grip and began to stroke him faster.

It didn’t take long, Kion’s pants turned quickly to gasps and moans, she watched as he screwed his eyes up tightly, and felt as his muscles tensed. Then, with a shudder, she felt his cock jump violently in her paw, four, five, six times, each accompanied by a hot wetness that spread between them. She felt as his whole body trembled and convulsed as he came, she continued to stoke, prolonging the feeling for him. His orgasm was mostly silent, only gasping for air as it plateaued, his body collapsing on top of Kiara. His head next to hers he breathed deeply as Kiara once again brought her foreleg around him in a tight hug.

Kion attacked her mouth and the pair began to kiss passionately, their tongues furiously fighting for dominance. The kiss didn’t last long as Kion began to withdraw from the kiss, she tried to coax him back but he began to move down her body. She watched as he started moving slowly from her mouth down to her throat leaving a trail of light kisses and licks as he went. They had done this often enough that he knew all of Kiara’s sensitive spots, her back arched as he kissed, licked and nibbled all of them on his way down her body. First her neck and throat, then he moved down to her chest, paying no mind to the mess he had just left there. Her teats were already erect by the time he reached them, his tongue passing over each agonizingly slowly, stopping to give each of them a quick suck and a nip with his teeth before moving on to the next. Kiara squeezed her hind legs together, trapping Kion where he was for a moment. She panted and moaned each time Kion’s tongue touched her, some part of her knew she wasn’t being quiet, but a much bigger part didn’t care.

After several moments she relaxed her legs and allowed Kion to continue the short journey from her teats to her crotch. She was leaking profusely now and could feel her juices collecting at the base of her tail which had become trapped beneath Kion. He moved again, lower still, licking and nibbling at the insides of her thighs, she looked down at him in exquisite agony and their eyes met again just as his tongue reached her entrance.

The pair maintained eye contact as Kion licked, up one side and down the other, circling her entrance before pushing his tongue in as far as it would go. Her world went dark as she felt his rough tongue on her. Her eyes snapped shut, her hind legs squeezed tightly as she climaxed. She was already quite aroused from the pawjob she had given Kion, then his licks and nibbles down her body had nearly driven her over the edge. She cried out as her body seized in pleasure, feeling like it was on fire. Her sexual gratification was so blinding she had no capacity for rational thought, the only thing she was aware of was that Kion’s tongue had not left her, prolonging her orgasm for as long as he could returning the pleasure she had given him.

Eventually, though, it began to taper off and she became aware of her surroundings again. She looked down in time to see Kion emerge from between her legs, the fur around his muzzle matted and wet. He made his way back up her body and the pair kissed deeply once again.

The pair broke apart, both panting hard, gasping for air. Their nighttime stroll had taken a very sudden turn, just as she had planned, and now Kiara was out of breath, her toes were still numb from her orgasm, she was sticky and messy and was loving every second of it. “That was …” she panted.

“... Incredible!” Kion finished for her. The pair looked at one another, Kiara taking in the dishevelled state of Kion’s facial fur, she then looked at the matted state of her own fur and began to giggle and then laugh. Kion began to laugh along with her, his chest fur in no better state than hers. That was a problem for future Kiara to deal with, she thought to herself. 

The pair stayed like this for a while luxuriating in the afterglow of orgasm as they caught their breath and waited for their giggles to subside. As they slowly began to regain their composure, Kiara started playing her paws across Kion’s back, gently playing with his fur, her claws leaving furrows as she playfully scratched at him. She slowly moved one of her paws up to his head and began to play with his ear causing Kion to groan. He knew all of her sensitive spots, but she also knew his and playing with his ears was certain to get him turned on again.

Sure enough, she felt his penis start to harden once again, with a sly smile she rolled him onto his back and straddled his hips, now it was her turn to drive him wild. Whereas she liked to be licked and nibbled, Kion was more fond of being stoked and so she did, she groped and kneaded, caressed and scratched at all the spots that she knew he liked. From his ears down to his ribs and further down to his hips. While she was teasing him with her paws, she had also started to gyrate her hips, slowly grinding against him stimulating his cock even further and getting her ready for what was about to happen.

By the time she had finished he was panting again, his cock was rigid between them, angry red and flowing copiously with pre and his groin fur was slick with a mixture of their combined juices. She grasped his cock and angled it up as she lifted her hips slightly, on her next thrust forward his tip kissed her entrance. This was the breaking point for Kion, he seized her haunches with his forepaws and thrust roughly upward, filling her in a single stroke. Kiara gasped at the sudden penetration, falling forward to lay on top of him.

It took her a second to catch her breath again, but with a quick kiss, she propped herself up in her forelegs and began to roll her hips. At the same time, Kion began to thrust into her, one paw squeezing at her hindquarters while the other slid around to her front to play with her teats. For her part, she continued attacking Kion’s sensitive spots.

The sounds of sex soon began to fill the small clearing, the growls and moans of passion, the wet slaps and rustles of fur on fur. The air had become humid, the atmosphere oppressive and close as the two lions exerted themselves, the smells of sweat and other bodily fluids permeating everything around them. 

All too soon, however, their lovemaking reached its climax. Kiara felt the claws of Kion’s paw on her hip began to dig in, their rhythm started to falter, their movements becoming erratic and uncoordinated. With a roar that could be heard across the pridelands, the pair came together. Kiara’s vagina clenched hard on Kion’s cock, her own claws digging into Kion’s chest. She felt his cock start throbbing inside her, felt as each spurt of his seed shot inside of her. Kiara felt each burst of pleasure radiate from her pussy throughout her body, from the tip of her tail to the ends of her pawtoes. Her muscles vibrated as wave after wave passed through her each accompanied by a hard clench around Kion’s cock.

With a heavy sigh, Kiara allowed herself to fall on top of Kion once again, a short break to recharge before they started anew. The pair continued to make love throughout the night stopping only when the sheer physical exhaustion overcame them and when it did Kiara allowed herself to be taken into Kion’s strong forearms. They’d had an interesting relationship in the months before Kion had left for the Tree of Life, not in love with each other but certainly closer than most siblings. After this evening they would go back to being a normal brother and sister, of course, she’d miss these liaisons, but she had Kovu and Kion had Rani. She was content with the way things had turned out, happy, at peace. She smiled to herself, breathed deeply of Kion’s scent one last time and fell asleep nestled against his chest, the sound of his heartbeat the last thing she heard before drifting off.
