Rani and Kion were set to become mates and the day of the ceremony was drawing near, day by day. Everyone was excited about this, from Kion’s friends, to those who had already lived on the lands of the Tree of Life before, being happy for Rani as well. The golden lion would have been fully ecstatic about the upcoming event but there was something that he noticed, being the lion Baliyo. When they made eye contact, the Night Pride lion would give him this look, as if he was attempting to look through Kion. One night, Kion was roused from his sleep, having a paw prodding him until he opened his eyes. The culprit was Baliyo, keeping his voice low while telling the other lion to follow him. Groaning and lamenting his peaceful slumber, the golden lion did trail behind Baliyo, at the very least to figure out what this was all about. The brown-furred feline led the way, leaving behind the den areas and out into an open field. They were far from anyone else now and stood across from each other. “What’s going on, Baliyo?” Kion asked, fearing that this was some sort of challenge. If it was, he would not back down but he didn’t want to hurt one he considered a friend. But Baliyo smirked. “The ceremony’s in just a few days… I know you’re a good guy. You were chosen by the Roar after all…” He paused for a moment, looking out towards the dens, where the others, including, Rani were still fast asleep. “But!” He said, his voice filled with conviction. “I wanna see for myself if you’re good enough for my sister!” “Huh?” “She’s been alone for a while now, putting all her focus into the Night Pride. Sure, she has us. But there’s just some things that a brother can’t do for her. As her mate, you’ll be the one to…’satisfy’ Rani’s urges. But I need to know if you’re even good enough for her.” Kion blinked but realized that Baliyo was serious. He could understand the protectiveness for his sister. When Kiara found a mate in Kovu while he was gone, Kion was distrustful and even a bit hostile at first. But after getting to know the former Outlander and seeing how happy he made Kiara, Kion eased up and approved. But Baliyo’s concerns seemed to be solely on the more…carnal side of things. Of course, Kion was aware that them being mates meant they would be mating. And to hear that Baliyo doubted he could do that well enough was rather insulting. “And how should I do that?” Kion quipped. “Are you gonna watch our first time together?” Again, the other lion smirked. He stepped closer but then turned around. “Nope. I’m gonna be your first test. I can’t let Rani be tied to some lion that would be able to breed her right. So show me what you got!” Kion was again stunned. From the way Baliyo spoke, it almost sounded like he was jealous. Perhaps he had fancied him all this time but wasn’t brave enough to just admit that. Was this Baliyo’s way of getting a chance before being officially mated? Either way, the young lion was presented with the backside of another, getting a full view of his tailhole and smooth-furred balls underneath. Having a fondness for both males and females, it didn’t take much more for Kion to become aroused as Baliyo’s tail lifted, further exposing his waiting entrance. Being older, the brown-furred lion was bigger, having plumper balls and his cock, lengthening out from his sheath, looked bigger as well. Getting a peak of it encouraged Kion to approach, his own cock becoming erect and jutting out to its full length. ”Alright. I’ll make sure to be gentle,” the golden feline chuckled. “Oh, don’t you dare hold out on me! Show me what a Pridelander can do already!” Further encouraged, Kion finally mounted Baliyo, hearing the bigger male huff from the weight. “Just remember. You asked for this!” He wasted no time shoving his cock into the tight hold, groaning from the feeling of it gripping him from all sides. Baliyo was moaning louder than he was, being stretched out from the feline cock. He was made to take it all at once, enduring a mix of pain and pleasure, the latter starting to take over as the thrusting began. Between their duties of protecting the land and preparing for the ceremony, Kion didn’t have the time to actually mate with Rani yet. So they both agreed to finally do it on the night of the ceremony. But it was a harder wait than expected. He was pent up, his balls plump with an excess of seed and his cock much harder than usual. All of that taunting came back to bite Baliyo, who was unable to speak. Though not as big as his own, the golden lion made up for that. Kion’s cock was grinding roughly against his unprepared walls, the barbs that decorated the shaft were teasing and stimulating him even further. ”You’re really tight…” Kion grunted. “I thought you were prepared for this.” Baliyo groaned in response, indeed mentally kicking himself for talking a big game without making preparation in case Kion actually followed through. This was made all the more apparent by hard ruts; pulling back and slamming all of it deep inside. With shaking legs and pitched yowls that came from hard strikes to his prostate, Baliyo admitted that he was in over his head but found enjoyment in the treatment. “Ah, Kion!” he cried out, finding his voice. “O-okay! You’ve proved you’re good enough. J-just ease up a bit!” This time, Kion was the one to chuckle. “Sorry but I really need this. It’s been too long since I’ve got to do this. Just hold on for me…” the golden lion told him. He wrapped his paws around Baliyo’s body, making the grip on him even stronger. Digging his claws into the earth, Kion showed that even his strong humps weren’t the fullest extent of what he could do. Every thrust further penetrated and stretched Baliyo’s ass. Putting more weight down, he let out growls and huffs, letting himself get lost in the pleasure. His precum was lubing the tight walls, making it easier for him to pound and felt even better as well. His sounds were joined by Baliyo’s. The Night Pride lion was panting hard, his hindlegs shaking hard from the weight and relentless rutting. He was slowly adjusting, his hole stretching to accommodate the barbed shaft drilling into him. Baliyo couldn’t fathom how Kion was able to keep up this pace for so long. The repeated rolls over his prostate kept his own cock twitching and leaking onto the grass. The moans that came from him were more controlled but the pleasure he felt was still strong. Sweet spots being struck were rewarded with sudden clenches and his voice echoing out, much to Kion’s added satisfaction. “Just a bit more…” the former Pridelander assured, giving the last few rounds all he had, enough to rock the both of their bodies. Baliyo’s eyes went wide, feeling his hole being spread from deep within. Kion snarled and huffed, pressing his claws into the other’s pelt as he came, shooting ropes of his cum into the snug passage. Baliyo yowled underneath him, the barbs of the shaft flaring out and scraping against his walls. Kion bit down on his scruff and continued humping, pushing the brown-furred lion past his limits. He let out a snarl of his own, shaking and shooting ropes of his cum into the grass. The bliss that overtook was nearly enough to take his breath away… The two of them spent a while panting, their bodies close together. Kion’s cock softened and spared Baliyo the pain of those barbs snatching their way out of him. He purred as the shaft slipped out, followed by an ooze of Kion’s cum. “So, did I pass your test?” Kion asked, wearing a satisfied grin. “Y-yeah…” Baliyo panted, clearing his voice and trying to stand tall while still leaking. “I give you my blessing. And uh, don’t be afraid to come find me if you’re in a mood for some lion.” ”I’ll keep that in mind…”
