Kaa could scent that tiger from blocks away. That first taste he had long before had not been enough. He wanted her, and he wanted her now. 

“Here, if you please,” Kaa said, his wrapped tail giving the woozy red panda’s throat a squeeze to stop them trundling the heavy cart along.
“Glkh- Yes Master!” The cart suddenly came to a halt, and a moment later, the covering was pulled up just enough to allow the rock python’s yellow eyes to peer up and out. The pudgy panda stood to attention, eyes still spinning - Kaa had hypnotised them so completely that their eyes simply were like that all the time.
“Don’t wait for me,” he said. “Come back in the morning. And be prepared. I will be carrying a lot of exssstra weight.”
“Thank you, Master, of course, Master!”

Judging from where the waft of her scent had lead him, she seemed to be holing up in an attic in some pokey inn out in the outskirts of the city; the dust would be murder on the old snake’s poor sinuses, but he would make do.
Kaa barely paid his servant any heed at this point; they were basically a background prop to him now.
The real prize, the real apple of his eye, was there in the inn. Waiting for him, without even realising that he was coming for her. The fear in her eyes before he melted her mind would be absolutely heavenly.

He sniffed and scented at the air, smacking his lips lasciviously as he slowly wound his way up the rusty drainpipes of the old building. The pipes creaked and groaned against his weight, making him wince and grumble and grouse the whole way up.
“Why could she not have been on the ground floor…” Kaa sighed, his scales clinging to whatever rough bits of brickwork he could, his lengths concertina-wrapped around the sturdiest bit of piping he could find. 
It was a good thing things were quiet at this time of night, no one would be out to gawk at him or sound the alarm for a giant, voracious snake on the prowl. 
Luckily for him, the skylight window in the attic was open. It was easy to silently slip inside, dipping his cautious head in first and gradually allowing more of his weighty coils to spill into the room.

It was perfectly silent, too. No creaking floorboards or scuttling vermin… but no snoring.
Kaa distinctly remembered her being a snorer. One of the many qualities that set his mouth drooling.
When he slithered a little further into the room, he saw her, splayed out on a creaky old wooden bedframe. She was too big for it, of course, her arms, legs and tail sort of dangling over the side.
Kaa slowly made his way closer, his coils gliding back and forth like the rocking ripples of a just-stirred cup of tea. He resisted the urge to snack his lips, or moan in pleasure, but… it was hard to do so.

The big beautiful tiger had enough meat and fat on her to sustain him for months on end. She was giant, voluptuous, and every inch of her was so incredibly succulent.
Her paws in particular…  she was wearing her thigh-high, well-heeled boots. They hid what was, Kaa’s opinion, one of the most delicious parts of her. He could see those toes fidgeting inside them, making the leather crease and very softly creak, well worn by their bulk.

 He slowly slithered around the bed, gradually encircling his prey like a moat.
He was going to savour the footpaws last. That was certain. Oh, how wonderful they’d feel disappearing down his hungry gullet… he bet those claws would tickle all the way down.

He periscoped his head upwards, slowly looming up over the fetal tiger, and his eyes began to twirl with their magical, hypnotic dance of colour.
“Ssssay now…”
The tigress didn’t scream or stir or even flinch. She just looked at Kaa, directly into her eyes, with a look of annoyance and contempt. One that caught the old snake off guard, and made the colours vanish from his eyes.
“Oh, it’s you. Sure.” Sascha sat up in the bed, her gaze surprisingly withering. “Why not. One more thing going wrong tonight.”
“O-oh?” Kaa wasn’t sure how to respond, or twist it into a flirtatious threat.
“Yeah.” Her arms were folded under her chest, and she was glaring at nothing in particular. “Suzu and I had a fight.”
“Yesss, Sssuzu! How dare she?” 
Kaa had no idea who she was talking about. Maybe that mouse who’d interrupted his meal last time…? 
“She called me a liability. Took off with all our gear and loot and left me in this crappy excuse for an inn….”
“Oh, r-really, that’sss so-”
“It’s like, she only ever uses me when she needs me to seduce some gross old man, or lug some heavy boxes around. Like I’m just a piece of meat to her, something she can just puppet around and order around without any care for my own well-being!”

Kaa quickly realised that he was in it for the long haul. Sascha had grabbed some of his coils and pulled them onto the bed, as though she’d known they were there all along. She continued to complain, and Kaa felt more and more like the captive. 
“And now you show up.” Sascha gestured towards Kaa, rather dismissively and angrily. “Let me guess. You’re here because you see me as a piece of meat too. You wanna eat me. Is that it?”
“Ah, w-well, I mean, how dare you accuse me of such a-”
Sasha rolled her eyes. “Don’t lie. You’re a pretty terrible liar, Kaa.”
That wounded Kaa like nothing else, and he visibly deflated.
“I don’t care. Go right ahead. Your gut’s probably way warmer than this bed.”

Kaa sputtered with confusion, his eyes pulsing with colour briefly - nowhere near enough frequency to start to put the tiger in a trance, though. The effect was more comical than anything.
“Wh- you… you mean that? Truly?”
“Yep.” Sasha sat up in the bed, still playing with a pile of Kaa’s coils. “Just… don’t do that eye thing. It’s not gonna work on me.”
“Oh…” Kaa managed to put on a brave (and seductive) smile, leaning up towards her as his eyes twirled. “Are you quite s-s-ssure about-glk!”
Sasha grabbed him by the throat, making his mouth open wide. She looked down into his gullet.
“Very sure. Get this over with.”

Once in a while, Kaa might have a smaller morsel sleepwalk into his mouth. But having his mouth forced open and pushed over someone’s head was… a new experience. This was the weirdest piece of eager prey he’d ever had…
But she was so succulent. Who was he to complain?
He closed his unhinged jaw around Sascha’s forehead, pressing her fur and hair slickly against her body. She huffed through her nostrils, the air blast tickling the inside of Kaa’s throat and making him giggle and wriggle. He still was having a hard time believing his luck… but he couldn’t look a gift tiger in the mouth.
It was the other way around, after all.

He took his time savouring her with each new peristalsic gulp, inhaling, moving a little further down, and exhaling as he relaxed and squeezed around the thick, heavy muzzle. When his lip pressed against her neck, it vibrated as Sascha let out a grunt that had more than a little satisfaction to it. It was shortly after followed by a purr. 
“Shhomeone’sh enjoying hershhhelf..” Kaa giggled. 
“Nnh… yeah.” Sascha sounded a little bit annoyed to admit it but she was palpably relaxing, still rubbing Kaa’s coils in her lap as she sat upright. Allowing Kaa to continue his journey down her body.
It was a strange sensation - Kaa was far more used to having his prey slide down his gullet in a state of blissful stiffness, completely yielding to his maw and barely squirming an inch. Having willing prey was a whole new feeling. She was sort of rolling her head back and forth against the tight insides of his neck, as if trying to groom herself against it or really enjoy the texture. There was the odd twitch and stiffening here and there, perhaps some residual fight or flight trying to take control before she tamped it down again.
For instance, when his maw closed around her breasts, her back arched and she squirmed a little bit more violently than he was used to. But then, she settled again, another long growling huff vibrating along the insides of his gullet. 
Oh, it was exquisite…
Once her juicy breasts were distending the inside of his throat, he continued further still, clinging to her like a wet, thick form-fitting sleeping bag. 
His throat was too stuffed up for him to speak, otherwise he might have teased and taunted her even more. But he could feel all those surly sensations fading away to nothingness inside his warm body. He could see, just up ahead, her boots were creasing against her wiggling toes. They were the part he was most excited to swallow ; his prize at the end of the journey. 

Once he had her whole torso, Kaa pushed forward with a little more force, the definition and outline of her face and chest tight against the old snake’s brown scales.
Her hips rolled and rocked against his slowly swallowing throat, her long stripey tiger-tail getting pushed down between her rump cheeks and past her feet. Her thighs were rubbing tightly together - perhaps to deal with some pleasurable feelings, or to make his job easier. Either way…. 
It was an easy journey down, the soft, yet muscular flesh giving Kaa such a shiver of satisfaction. He would have pinched himself to check if he was dreaming… but the vivid taste and texture was more than enough to convince him that all of this was real.
The toes were still wiggling inside the thick leather boots - delicious in their own right. They curled inwards like balled fists, fidgeted in wave motions… betraying her excitement to have them buried inside him like the rest of her. He was able to breathe a little more easily, slithering forward and hoisting her backside up onto a looped length of coils as he impatiently got right down to the tips of her boots. Her legs were lifted up into the air, and he adjusted his position to make it easy for her to just slip-slide the rest of the way. He squeezed them in his mouth for a moment, feeling the toes splay and squirm one last glorious time, before mentally waving goodbye to them and letting them slide down his throat. 
He snapped his jaws shut, leaving a long length of tiger tail still sticking out. The bell on the tip was jingling as the tail stiffened, quivered, and wagged its tip to and fro.
“I musssst sssay,” Kaa said, playing with the tail in his mouth like it was a toothpick, “It is quite ssstrange, but your boots are especially delicious…”
“Thank you…” came a half-snored response from somewhere in that bulge. 
“Oh, sssleeping, are you?” Kaa tutted. “Poor creature. It’sss far more comfortable in there, so I really can’t blame you…”
With that, he pursed his lips and took one last long slurp, her tail shooting down his throat like a noodle. 
“Ahhh~!” Kaa gasped with almighty pleasure, his head collapsing onto the bed as he rocked the massive bulge too and fro. “Nnnh, thisss is going to be a challenge for my digesssstion… perhapssss sssome gravity will do the trick.”

His tail slowly worked its way up the nearest load bearing beam, and the rest of them followed. Kaa remained where he was, content to let his sense of touch lead it along, at least at first. Soon, he felt able enough to make his own way up another beam, gradually hoisting the oh-so-heavy bulge into the air, off the creaky old bed. 
The purr-growl was much louder now. Goodness, she was happy in there. 
“Now, all that anger is gone~” Kaa chuckled. “All you needed to cheer you up was a nicssse long nap inssside me… and I’ll sssee to it that you’ll never be angry again.”
There was a noise coming from inside his coils. Kaa was well used to talkative meals, and could tell what she was saying through the vibrations of his coils.
“Thanks a bunch,” Sasha was saying, a hint of acidic sarcasm to her voice. “I’m really comfy in here. This is so much better. Really.”
“Well, look at it like thisss, my dear… now you won’t be weighing down or ssslowing down that friend of yoursss ever again. And I promise you, I can handle your weight with no issues whatsssoever.~”
“I’ll take that, I guess….”
He chuckled darkly to himself, setting his head on top of that bulge, feeling the rise and fall as his coils rocked her - and him - into a nice, long, digestive slumber.
“It is my pleasure to help you, dearessst.”
