feedback.\n\n[b]Story:[/b]\n\nNight fell over the savanna land. The crescent moon’s light trickled into a cool, dark den.\n \n\nThere, a lone lioness cradled her sleeping cub, holding her close between both arms. Her chest fur graced the cub's forehead. Short purrs grew, slow and deliberate. Despite a late and vigorous hunt, the lioness found new strength and smiled.\n \n\n'My princess, may you dream of warm hills and bright meadows. Rest your ears, your small nose, those eyes, heh heh... your father's eyes... oh, my Kiara.' The lioness mused, keeping her limbs firm and protective as she lowered her head, cheek nestled to her cub's.\n \n\n\"Your highness?\" A voice sang out. The lioness lifted her head, ears lowered as Kiara frowned and shuffled, only to fall still into slumber again. She glanced at the den's entrance. \n\n\nThere stood a tall, tawny furred lion, his red mane glowing from the moonlight's aura.\n \n\nBetween his jaws, three stems of bright, puffy flowers stuck out to his side. He gave her a wide grin, toothy and firm over the plants. His paws fidgeted, sprouting a tall, lanky stance.\n \n\n\"Simba?\" She smiled, hushing into a whisper \"...shh, you'll wake her.\"\n \n\nSimba glanced at the bundle by her chest, barely risen behind the queen’s forepaws.\n \n\n\"Oh…\" Simba lay the flowers at his feet, pouting his lips and huffing away powdered pollen. \"Whoops, thought my mother was doing rounds tonight. How's our princess doing?\" Simba asked, a sheepish grin emitting a nervous giggle. Nala frowned for a moment, head tilted, but soon sighed, chuckling with closed eyes and shaking neck.\n \n\n\"She's... wonderful. I'm sure she would have been happy to see you. Oh, are those for me?\" Nala replied, arching a brow. King Simba's half lidded eyelids flung open, his lips frantic to utter several words at once.\n \n\n\"Uh, well, hmm, yes...here, remember where these come from?\" Simba asked, pushing the large flowers with a gentle nuzzle towards his queen. They slid across the den floor, gracing the queen. Nala squinted, stirring her arms to rock Kiara's head as the cub began to yawn.\n \n\nShe inhaled, lips spreading into a vast grin.\n \n\n\"Oh Simba, are these from the meadow?\" Nala asked, resisting a laugh. Simba nodded, shaking away mane strands before his eyes.\n \n\n\"Ha, ha, oh no. Remember the ostrich? You thought her tail was one of the flowers!\" Nala whispered, now wheezing. Simba rolled his eyes, placing a paw over his nose bridge with a pinch.\n \n\n\"It was the biggest one I’ve ever seen, and I still feel the beak on my shoulder.\" Simba frowned, earning a croak of laughter from the queen as she hid her muzzle against her shoulder. A high squeak was all that passed through.\n \n\n\"But it was worth it, for my best friend.\" Simba leaned in, giving slow prances and feigning slips towards Nala's nose. He rubbed his own against hers, again spotting Nala's ears flush back. She closed her eyes and smiled, joining in. She stirred her head, squinting her eyebrows. The couple broke the reunion, glancing down to the sleeping cub between.\n \n\n\"She's had a busy day, huh?\" Simba said.\n \n\n\"Heh, nothing shy about her anymore, chasing those butterflies. She's lucky I can see everything.\"\n \n\n\"Everything?\"\n \n\n\"Every-thing...\" Nala kissed Simba's cheek, letting him blush as he pulled away with enlarged pupils. He shook away his dazed stare. There she sat, the lioness who had found him, lost in the oasis many moons ago. It still soothed his heart to meet her gaze, orbs of warmth that reassured even the faintest of worries.\n \n\n\"Only the best for her then.\" The king replied.\n \n\n\"Nothing less, you silly...oh.\" Nala paused, tilting her head to glance at the den's entrance again. Simba, puzzled with one arched brow, turned to match his mate's view, catching sight of a visitor.\n \n\n\"Sarabi!\" Nala greeted, still in whisper.\n \n\n\"Mom!\" Simba trotted to nuzzle the tan lioness, strong and poised. She chuckled, embracing her son with a single arm around his mane, licking his forehead drabbed by flaky mane strands.\n \n\n\"Simba,\" Sarabi giggled, \"Are you still growing this mane of yours? I can barely see my son's handsome face anymore. Still messy too.\" The former queen tsked away, brushing a rough paw around Simba's further disheveled crown. Nala gasped, smiling and holding her chin onto a shoulder, her squeaks of hysterics growing louder.\n \n\n\"Really? Here, with Nala, mom?\"\n \n\n\"Yes dear. How else am I to keep you two together if she can't tease you now and then?” Sarabi winked at Nala, the cream-colored lioness' face now pleading as she kept down an unexpected fit of laughter.\n \n\n\"Anyways, the hunting party’s finished tonight, and you have both been very tired caring for your new subjects, never mind the pride. Why don't you take a walk tonight, alone? I'd love to care for Kiara until you feel ready, hmm?\" Sarabi proposed, her eyes tilted to little Kiara pawing at the air amid a drooling muzzle. Nala smiled, eyebrows tilted at her small mess, sighing a breath of relief at the thought.\n \n\n\"I don't like leaving her... but we haven't been spending time together lately. I do think it'd be lovely. Simba?\" Nala asked, caressing her daughter's head with a soft chin rub. Simba tilted back to Sarabi, her eyes gleaming with a nod.\n \n\nThe king shrugged, sighing.\n \n\n\"As the queen says, so shall it be.\" Simba replied with a bow, the lioness' expressions turning quizzical with small gasps and wide eyes.\n \n\n\"My, my, our king is learning his manners, indeed.\" Sarabi chuckled, picking up Kiara by her nape. The orange cub, eyes still shut, frowned and scratched at the air, reaching for her mother's fur in midair. Nala leaned in to nuzzle her daughter one last time before standing up and bowing to Sarabi.\n \n\n\"We'll return soon. Thank you, Sarabi. For more than you know.\" Nala smiled. Sarabi’s words from the past flowed through the new queen’s mind, ever since Simba’s uncle had taken the throne. Secure words of hope that pushed through the darkest of times. The now older lioness bowed to her in return.\n \n\n\"Always.\"\n \n\nAs Nala departed ahead, Simba turned to bow back to his mother. Sarabi tilted her head with a grin and rubbed his son's mane with a strong, hefty paw, dismantling it into a scruffy mess.\n \n\n\"You have fun now, dear.\" Sarabi said through clenched teeth, Kiara again snoozing away. She nudged her son with her forehead at his shoulder, letting him pause and stare at the den entrance. He turned and spotted Sarabi exhaling through both nostrils with a wide smile.\n \n\n\"I really missed that.\" Simba nodded.\n \n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe two lions strolled alongside each other in the tall grass, its rustling by wind only broken by cricket chirps.\n \n\n\"Moon's beautiful tonight.\" Simba said, mimicking the moon's crescent shape with a slanted grin, baring his bright teeth. Nala laughed, now at ease upon the fields.\n \n\n\"It sure is,” Nala replied, looking to the ground, “Simba, thank you for the flowers.\"\n \n\n\"You're welcome. Wait, are you just being nice?\" Simba asked. Nala pushed Simba, shoulder to shoulder.\n \n\n\"No, it's called proper manners, your highness,” Nala claimed, strutting away from the king before turning to smile. “And yes, I'm being nice. You've been so eager to please recently.\"\n \n\n\"Oh? How so?\" Simba trotted faster to catch up.\n \n\n\"The flowers, the hunting, the singing. You're almost that little cub I remember.\"\n \n\n\"Ha ha, really? Must be all the work lately, can’t help it once I get back home.\" Simba replied, Nala nodding. He shook his mane back into its flowing shape, curled around his frame with winding layers. Simba cleared his throat.\n \n\n\"Well, the pride's been telling me that you've been worried for Kiara. Don’t forget, I worry for her too. I mean, Nala, our first cub! Still amazing, it only seems like yesterday when you found me in that jungle.\" Simba explained. Nala slowed her pace.\n \n\n\"I've tried.\" She uttered.\n \n\n\"And, and well, I don't like seeing you unhappy…” Simba said, with Nala coming to a halt.\n \n\n\"Simba, I've been happy. She's everything to me right now. With the Pride lands finally recovering, my place is with her. You can't say that doesn't make me happy, can you?\" Nala asked. Simba strode by her side, stopping as well.\n \n\n\"I know, Nala. I'm sorry. I meant; you're giving her what we didn't have.\"\n \n\n\"And what's that?\"\n \n\n\"Peace.\"\n \n\n\"Peace?\"\n \n\n\"Mom's told me... how it was for you growing up.” Simba proclaimed, sighing with a rush of breath, “Look Nala, I'm truly sorry I wasn't here for you.\" Nala’s eyes widened and her muzzle lowered. Her breathing quickened, ears lowered and forepaw raised, as if preparing to flee.\n \n\n\"She told you...\"\n \n\n\"Yes, you fended for yourself, for the whole pride. All I did was hide. All of my pain, until it was too late.\" Simba faced away towards the moon. Nala placed her lifted paw to her chest, breaths steady.\n \n\n\"Simba, you shouldn't place your own struggles down just because of me.\"\n \n\n\"That's my point, you're what helped me be king,\" Simba paused, Nala now silent. \"You're the one that lets me remember, forever and always, just where I belong. Not just at Pride Rock overlooking our home, but with you. Always with you.\" Simba smiled with a bashful grin, averting his gaze from his queen. Nala shut her eyes, lips quivering.\n \n\n\"Come here.\" Nala approached her king, pressing her nuzzle against his cheek. Her tongue slipped, gracing his cheeks with a calm lick, breathing out a warm breath against his fur. Tears trickled from her eyes, glazed with the moon's shimmer as they slid over both cheeks. Her sunken memories, isolated in a land of shadow, came forth before her mind, each shudder eased away by the presence of her king.\n \n\nNala leaned further in, nipping at Simba's chin, and pulling him close into a tender kiss at last. Simba's eyes widened, a blush returning to both cheeks. His lips pressed into his queen's, lush and warm, with an ignited urge.\n \n\nNala's tongue shimmied into Simba's maw, pressing further in as the two lions locked lips, their gasps only sounding in brief moments apart, before joining again. As Simba leaned over Nala, his paws inching closer to the lioness' elbows, Nala emitted a low moan. Simba stopped, tilting his head back, mane bushy and flared out.\n \n\n\"Nala, I don't want to put pressure on you. This is your night of peace.\" Simba uttered, gasping with heaving breaths as his fur remained heated. Nala's eyes twinkled along with the stars, her eyelids closing, slow and delicate, opening up with the same flutter. She leaned into Simba, her mouth opening in shakes, soft cries pouring out, from deep within.\n \n\n\"You, you are my peace.\" Nala gasped at last, her teary eyes closing as Simba's mane brushed onto the nape of her neck. Simba's eyes closed, breathing and exhaling fast again.\nAll hesitations. Gone.\n \n\nSimba nipped at Nala's neck fur, letting his tongue brush across her quivering frame. Nala moaned, now smiling at the same time. Her claws protracted, clutching the fertile soil at their feet. She squeezed with each lick; her eyes shut.\n \n\n\"I love you, Simba.\" Nala replied, wrapping her arms in slow proximity over Simba's shoulders. She pulled him close to her chest, both lowering to the savanna floor. The queen grasped Simba in for a final tug, both lions falling near the side of a green hill, rich with short, padded grass.\n \n\n\"Oof,\" Simba grunted, landing atop Nala and meeting her gaze. “I love you too.” She focused on him, her eyes moist and half lidded. She slid a paw around his head, playful and tickling his ears. With a smirk, Nala leaned into Simba's muzzle. She kissed his chin, lips, nose and whiskered cheeks, drawing him further into a wide hug as Simba's hips relaxed onto her own.\n \n\nHis pelvis shook, groin flowing with a rush of warmth. He resisted collapse, easing his entire body onto Nala's soft fur. Strokes across continued to draw forth adrenaline, his legs beckoning to lower even closer, quivering in anticipation.\n \n\nSimba gasped. He lifted his head, mane shielding his queen's chest from the breeze, their bodies pressing onto the field bed with growing force. Nala's arms drew back onto her sides, close to chest, lifting to meet Simba's face. The king stared back at Nala at last, his own eyes glimmering with her reflection. Her lips opened, quivering.\n \n\n\"I, I want this...I want you, Simba.\" Nala uttered, her breaths soon turning to moans anew as Simba lowered his large muzzle near her ear. He breathed in her scent as he reached her side, panic surrounding the two as he uttered his next words.\n \n\n\"Heh, pinned ya.\"\n \n\n\"Oh, ha ha, Simba.\" Nala giggled, pressing lips against his lover's cheeks, her own hips thrusting forward and around Simba's groin. He growled, feeling his penis finally emerge onto Nala, soothing his member into rhythm.\n \n\nHe teased the inevitable, feeling the tender embrace of Nala's own gift. He dared position himself closer, legs widening their stance and giving room for the two to meet. He rubbed onto her lower half, soon the pelvis, and finally vulva. Nala twitched, her eyes squinting as she bit her bottom lip. She slid her paws onto Simba's hindquarters, cushioning her toes and massaging his backside.\n \n\nHer ears lowered, allowing her paws to push down, bouncing his hips to edge closer to her desire. Simba whined, feeling himself give way and join. He loosened his legs, shaking as a fawn. He felt her entry, gasping with a silent breath as he finally thrust.\n \n\nHe moaned, frantic in breath as he felt the entirety of his groin latch into his mate's inner walls. Nala's breaths grew loud, her sounds reaching forth with loud mews of rejoiced passion. Simba collapsed his hips deeper, out of his own sheer will. He looked down onto his mate's eyes, pulling back his rump, shaking. Nala's eyebrows lowered, her grin returning with a bright, toothy smile.\n \n\n\"Come here.\" She whispered. In an instant, Nala's hindlegs hugged Simba's entire bottom frame, pulling him back into entry. Simba moaned between a surprised roar, feeling his burning instincts awaken.\n \n\nThe king pulled back, only for Nala to push his mate into place. Simba's thrusts began picking up speed, squeezing between the lioness' full frame.\n \n\n\"Keep going Simba!\" Nala uttered out loud, her limbs now hugging the entirety of her husband's body. Simba pressed his forearms to the grass, his paws attempting to grab onto Nala's hips as he pushed forth. Nala refused to loosen her grip, hind legs restricting Simba's retreat for each frantic thrust. He grew in pace, giving way to short bursts, sliding further into Nala's womb.\n \n\nHe winced, feeling his mate's grip tighten even further. Nala grit her teeth, pressing her forehead onto Simba's.\n\n\n\"I'm here Nala!\" Simba grunted, his hips bucking forward and shaft rubbing through her entrance. The queen squeezed around his penis, beckoning that which she craved. She felt the flow of precum, the fluid pouring in squirts onto her walls. Nala locked lips again with Simba, the two squinting their eyes for one last glance. The lion king thrust with the might of new lovers, as the flowers around them blossomed to welcoming skies. Nala pressed outwards with all her strength, urgent for Simba to quicken pace.\n \n\nShe squeezed from all angles, holding Simba to her as he pushed with no return. His early spurts lubed up his member, rapid and tingling. With prolonged thrusts, as close as he could manage, Simba quivered as his final seed spilled into Nala's awaiting womb. The queen moaned into their kiss, separating to let their orgasms settle, each quiver erupting throughout both felines’ limbs. \n\n\nNala gripped his mate close, feeling the rush of semen drip deep into her heated folds. She continued to hold, both shaking together upon each new spurt.

After a few moments, Nala opened her eyes, seeing Simba do the same.\n \n\nHe inspected his queen, luminous with a flourishing blue aura. Mother, queen, friend, precious mate. He could no longer hide any of it.\n \n\nSimba leaned to caress the lioness' cheek, letting a tear run down his eye.\n \n\n\"We'll always be together.

Story:

Night fell over the savanna land. The crescent moon’s light trickled into a cool, dark den.
 

There, a lone lioness cradled her sleeping cub, holding her close between both arms. Her chest fur graced the cub's forehead. Short purrs grew, slow and deliberate. Despite a late and vigorous hunt, the lioness found new strength and smiled.
 

'My princess, may you dream of warm hills and bright meadows. Rest your ears, your small nose, those eyes, heh heh... your father's eyes... oh, my Kiara.' The lioness mused, keeping her limbs firm and protective as she lowered her head, cheek nestled to her cub's.
 

"Your highness?" A voice sang out. The lioness lifted her head, ears lowered as Kiara frowned and shuffled, only to fall still into slumber again. She glanced at the den's entrance.


There stood a tall, tawny furred lion, his red mane glowing from the moonlight's aura.
 

Between his jaws, three stems of bright, puffy flowers stuck out to his side. He gave her a wide grin, toothy and firm over the plants. His paws fidgeted, sprouting a tall, lanky stance.
 

"Simba?" She smiled, hushing into a whisper "...shh, you'll wake her."
 

Simba glanced at the bundle by her chest, barely risen behind the queen’s forepaws.
 

"Oh…" Simba lay the flowers at his feet, pouting his lips and huffing away powdered pollen. "Whoops, thought my mother was doing rounds tonight. How's our princess doing?" Simba asked, a sheepish grin emitting a nervous giggle. Nala frowned for a moment, head tilted, but soon sighed, chuckling with closed eyes and shaking neck.
 

"She's... wonderful. I'm sure she would have been happy to see you. Oh, are those for me?" Nala replied, arching a brow. King Simba's half lidded eyelids flung open, his lips frantic to utter several words at once.
 

"Uh, well, hmm, yes...here, remember where these come from?" Simba asked, pushing the large flowers with a gentle nuzzle towards his queen. They slid across the den floor, gracing the queen. Nala squinted, stirring her arms to rock Kiara's head as the cub began to yawn.
 

She inhaled, lips spreading into a vast grin.
 

"Oh Simba, are these from the meadow?" Nala asked, resisting a laugh. Simba nodded, shaking away mane strands before his eyes.
 

"Ha, ha, oh no. Remember the ostrich? You thought her tail was one of the flowers!" Nala whispered, now wheezing. Simba rolled his eyes, placing a paw over his nose bridge with a pinch.
 

"It was the biggest one I’ve ever seen, and I still feel the beak on my shoulder." Simba frowned, earning a croak of laughter from the queen as she hid her muzzle against her shoulder. A high squeak was all that passed through.
 

"But it was worth it, for my best friend." Simba leaned in, giving slow prances and feigning slips towards Nala's nose. He rubbed his own against hers, again spotting Nala's ears flush back. She closed her eyes and smiled, joining in. She stirred her head, squinting her eyebrows. The couple broke the reunion, glancing down to the sleeping cub between.
 

"She's had a busy day, huh?" Simba said.
 

"Heh, nothing shy about her anymore, chasing those butterflies. She's lucky I can see everything."
 

"Everything?"
 

"Every-thing..." Nala kissed Simba's cheek, letting him blush as he pulled away with enlarged pupils. He shook away his dazed stare. There she sat, the lioness who had found him, lost in the oasis many moons ago. It still soothed his heart to meet her gaze, orbs of warmth that reassured even the faintest of worries.
 

"Only the best for her then." The king replied.
 

"Nothing less, you silly...oh." Nala paused, tilting her head to glance at the den's entrance again. Simba, puzzled with one arched brow, turned to match his mate's view, catching sight of a visitor.
 

"Sarabi!" Nala greeted, still in whisper.
 

"Mom!" Simba trotted to nuzzle the tan lioness, strong and poised. She chuckled, embracing her son with a single arm around his mane, licking his forehead drabbed by flaky mane strands.
 

"Simba," Sarabi giggled, "Are you still growing this mane of yours? I can barely see my son's handsome face anymore. Still messy too." The former queen tsked away, brushing a rough paw around Simba's further disheveled crown. Nala gasped, smiling and holding her chin onto a shoulder, her squeaks of hysterics growing louder.
 

"Really? Here, with Nala, mom?"
 

"Yes dear. How else am I to keep you two together if she can't tease you now and then?” Sarabi winked at Nala, the cream-colored lioness' face now pleading as she kept down an unexpected fit of laughter.
 

"Anyways, the hunting party’s finished tonight, and you have both been very tired caring for your new subjects, never mind the pride. Why don't you take a walk tonight, alone? I'd love to care for Kiara until you feel ready, hmm?" Sarabi proposed, her eyes tilted to little Kiara pawing at the air amid a drooling muzzle. Nala smiled, eyebrows tilted at her small mess, sighing a breath of relief at the thought.
 

"I don't like leaving her... but we haven't been spending time together lately. I do think it'd be lovely. Simba?" Nala asked, caressing her daughter's head with a soft chin rub. Simba tilted back to Sarabi, her eyes gleaming with a nod.
 

The king shrugged, sighing.
 

"As the queen says, so shall it be." Simba replied with a bow, the lioness' expressions turning quizzical with small gasps and wide eyes.
 

"My, my, our king is learning his manners, indeed." Sarabi chuckled, picking up Kiara by her nape. The orange cub, eyes still shut, frowned and scratched at the air, reaching for her mother's fur in midair. Nala leaned in to nuzzle her daughter one last time before standing up and bowing to Sarabi.
 

"We'll return soon. Thank you, Sarabi. For more than you know." Nala smiled. Sarabi’s words from the past flowed through the new queen’s mind, ever since Simba’s uncle had taken the throne. Secure words of hope that pushed through the darkest of times. The now older lioness bowed to her in return.
 

"Always."
 

As Nala departed ahead, Simba turned to bow back to his mother. Sarabi tilted her head with a grin and rubbed his son's mane with a strong, hefty paw, dismantling it into a scruffy mess.
 

"You have fun now, dear." Sarabi said through clenched teeth, Kiara again snoozing away. She nudged her son with her forehead at his shoulder, letting him pause and stare at the den entrance. He turned and spotted Sarabi exhaling through both nostrils with a wide smile.
 

"I really missed that." Simba nodded.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------

The two lions strolled alongside each other in the tall grass, its rustling by wind only broken by cricket chirps.
 

"Moon's beautiful tonight." Simba said, mimicking the moon's crescent shape with a slanted grin, baring his bright teeth. Nala laughed, now at ease upon the fields.
 

"It sure is,” Nala replied, looking to the ground, “Simba, thank you for the flowers."
 

"You're welcome. Wait, are you just being nice?" Simba asked. Nala pushed Simba, shoulder to shoulder.
 

"No, it's called proper manners, your highness,” Nala claimed, strutting away from the king before turning to smile. “And yes, I'm being nice. You've been so eager to please recently."
 

"Oh? How so?" Simba trotted faster to catch up.
 

"The flowers, the hunting, the singing. You're almost that little cub I remember."
 

"Ha ha, really? Must be all the work lately, can’t help it once I get back home." Simba replied, Nala nodding. He shook his mane back into its flowing shape, curled around his frame with winding layers. Simba cleared his throat.
 

"Well, the pride's been telling me that you've been worried for Kiara. Don’t forget, I worry for her too. I mean, Nala, our first cub! Still amazing, it only seems like yesterday when you found me in that jungle." Simba explained. Nala slowed her pace.
 

"I've tried." She uttered.
 

"And, and well, I don't like seeing you unhappy…” Simba said, with Nala coming to a halt.
 

"Simba, I've been happy. She's everything to me right now. With the Pride lands finally recovering, my place is with her. You can't say that doesn't make me happy, can you?" Nala asked. Simba strode by her side, stopping as well.
 

"I know, Nala. I'm sorry. I meant; you're giving her what we didn't have."
 

"And what's that?"
 

"Peace."
 

"Peace?"
 

"Mom's told me... how it was for you growing up.” Simba proclaimed, sighing with a rush of breath, “Look Nala, I'm truly sorry I wasn't here for you." Nala’s eyes widened and her muzzle lowered. Her breathing quickened, ears lowered and forepaw raised, as if preparing to flee.
 

"She told you..."
 

"Yes, you fended for yourself, for the whole pride. All I did was hide. All of my pain, until it was too late." Simba faced away towards the moon. Nala placed her lifted paw to her chest, breaths steady.
 

"Simba, you shouldn't place your own struggles down just because of me."
 

"That's my point, you're what helped me be king," Simba paused, Nala now silent. "You're the one that lets me remember, forever and always, just where I belong. Not just at Pride Rock overlooking our home, but with you. Always with you." Simba smiled with a bashful grin, averting his gaze from his queen. Nala shut her eyes, lips quivering.
 

"Come here." Nala approached her king, pressing her nuzzle against his cheek. Her tongue slipped, gracing his cheeks with a calm lick, breathing out a warm breath against his fur. Tears trickled from her eyes, glazed with the moon's shimmer as they slid over both cheeks. Her sunken memories, isolated in a land of shadow, came forth before her mind, each shudder eased away by the presence of her king.
 

Nala leaned further in, nipping at Simba's chin, and pulling him close into a tender kiss at last. Simba's eyes widened, a blush returning to both cheeks. His lips pressed into his queen's, lush and warm, with an ignited urge.
 

Nala's tongue shimmied into Simba's maw, pressing further in as the two lions locked lips, their gasps only sounding in brief moments apart, before joining again. As Simba leaned over Nala, his paws inching closer to the lioness' elbows, Nala emitted a low moan. Simba stopped, tilting his head back, mane bushy and flared out.
 

"Nala, I don't want to put pressure on you. This is your night of peace." Simba uttered, gasping with heaving breaths as his fur remained heated. Nala's eyes twinkled along with the stars, her eyelids closing, slow and delicate, opening up with the same flutter. She leaned into Simba, her mouth opening in shakes, soft cries pouring out, from deep within.
 

"You, you are my peace." Nala gasped at last, her teary eyes closing as Simba's mane brushed onto the nape of her neck. Simba's eyes closed, breathing and exhaling fast again.
All hesitations. Gone.
 

Simba nipped at Nala's neck fur, letting his tongue brush across her quivering frame. Nala moaned, now smiling at the same time. Her claws protracted, clutching the fertile soil at their feet. She squeezed with each lick; her eyes shut.
 

"I love you, Simba." Nala replied, wrapping her arms in slow proximity over Simba's shoulders. She pulled him close to her chest, both lowering to the savanna floor. The queen grasped Simba in for a final tug, both lions falling near the side of a green hill, rich with short, padded grass.

With a smirk, Nala leaned into Simba's muzzle. She kissed his chin, lips, nose and whiskered cheeks, drawing him further into a wide hug as Simba's hips relaxed onto her own.
 

His pelvis shook, groin flowing with a rush of warmth. He resisted collapse, easing his entire body onto Nala's soft fur. Strokes across continued to draw forth adrenaline, his legs beckoning to lower even closer, quivering in anticipation.

"Heh, pinned ya."
 

"Oh, ha ha, Simba." Nala giggled, pressing lips against his lover's cheeks, her own hips thrusting forward and around Simba's groin. He growled, feeling his penis finally emerge onto Nala, soothing his member into rhythm.
 

He teased the inevitable, feeling the tender embrace of Nala's own gift. He dared position himself closer, legs widening their stance and giving room for the two to meet.

Nala's eyebrows lowered, her grin returning with a bright, toothy smile.
 

"Come here." She whispered. In an instant, Nala's hindlegs hugged Simba's entire bottom frame, pulling him back into entry. Simba moaned between a surprised roar, feeling his burning instincts awaken.
 

The king pulled back, only for Nala to push his mate into place. Simba's thrusts began picking up speed, squeezing between the lioness' full frame.
 

"Keep going Simba!" Nala uttered out loud, her limbs now hugging the entirety of her husband's body. Simba pressed his forearms to the grass, his paws attempting to grab onto Nala's hips as he pushed forth. Nala refused to loosen her grip, hind legs restricting Simba's retreat for each frantic thrust. He grew in pace, giving way to short bursts, sliding further into Nala's womb.

Simba leaned to caress the lioness' cheek, letting a tear run down his eye.
 

"We'll always be together. Won't we?"
 

"I wouldn't have it any other way."
 

The two reached forth and nuzzled, the winds gentle and cool to guide both into a deserved slumber.
