As Kaa slithered through the trees, he eyed the Tiger warily. Shere Khan was indeed one of the most dangerous predators in the jungle (next to himself of course) and the Serpent wasn't arrogant enough to simply try hypnotizing him outright. Mainly due to the fact that he was not only familiar with his methods and knew what signs to look for, but had even resisted his hypnotic gaze before. And even if Khan didn't know about his new hypnotic voice, he couldn't risk the direct approach despite having the element of surprise, one wrong move and he would end up incurring the Tiger's wrath.

Still, he needed to truly test his new powers, and someone as strong-willed as Shere Khan would prove to be the perfect challenge…

As the Serpent continued to ponder his current course of action, an idea quickly came to him. Smirking deviously, he slithered towards the tiger, ready to initiate his plan…

"Lousy simple-minded dogs…" Shere Khan grumbled to himself as he stormed through the jungle. Despite his return alone putting many animals on edge, this had not stopped the Wolf Clan themselves from keeping a closer eye on him since he'd returned. An effort to protect their precious Man-Cub, no doubt.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my old friend Shere Khan…" A familiar voice chimed in, catching his attention. Glancing upwards, he could see the Serpent's head lowering down from the branches above. "It truly has been a while, what brings you to this part of the jungle?"  

Khan scoffed at first, but simply shifted his demeanor as he approached the Snake, cautiously watching his eyes in case he tried anything sneaky. "Oh just a simple hunt, away from the prying eyes of the Wolf Clan…" He explained in a somewhat condescending tone. "And of course, given how close the man village is, I'm sure to find some decent… prey, sooner or later…" He added with a knowing smile as he extended his claws, his tone becoming slightly more threatening despite his somber and collected demeanor.

Kaa, knowing exactly who he was referring to casually slithered through the air around the Tiger. "Oh, so you seek the Man-Cub? Well, sorry to disappoint, but he's no longer in the jungle-GRK!" The Snake was cut off almost immediately as the Tiger grabbed him by the throat and pulled him close.

"And what do you mean by that?" The Tiger snarled, his mood going from conversational and dignified to threatening and feral in seconds upon hearing that.

"W-Well, I was slithering past the man village… and I just happened to spot the Man-Cub being escorted there by some adults..." Kaa explained, leaving out his involvement in that matter. "A true shame you just missed them, my dear Khan. I'm sure a superior hunter just as yourself could have felt with them…" He continued, attempting to give the Tiger a small dose of his hypnotic voice, just to test how much he was affected.

Khan, however, simply scoffed as he released Kaa's neck and stormed past him, having no time for his empty flattery and still in no better mood than when he met the snake. "The idiots just don't realize what he can become!"

Kaa arched a brow at this, the Tiger seemed to be not affected by his voice at all… at least, not at the low, subtle power he dared to use at this point. 'Hmmm… this will be more difficult than I anticipated.' The Snake thought to himself while stroking his ego didn't yield results, he had to find a way to force Khan into a state of mind that made him easier to hypnotize. 'What I need is an 'in', some sort of gap in his mental defense if I'm going to succeed…' He continued to muse as he slithered through the trees, following the Tiger to a nearby river as he stopped for a drink.

As he watched his target for a moment, another idea came to mind. 'Hmmm… maybe if I used just the right words, they can bring a more... intoxicating effect that'll remove his inhibitions.' Kaa smirked as he narrowed his eyes. 'Yessss… and once his mental defenses are down, I'll be able to stimulate his hidden desires and associate its indulgence with my voice… and fully put him in a trance!'

With this new plan in mind, the Serpent recomposed himself before lowering his head towards the unsuspecting Tiger."I must admit Shere Khan, at first I never truly understood your grudge against the humans before…" Kaa began, strengthening the power behind his hypnotic voice, yet keeping his distance just in case. "...at least, not until recently…"

"What are you yammering on about, Snake?" Khan scoffed as he stopped lapping at the water, almost considering dismissing the Serpent outright.

"Sadly these humans don't respect the law of the jungle, believing themselves to be above it." Kaa explained, noticing that he'd somewhat caught his attention. "I should know, two of them attacked me a few nights ago, unprovoked even!" He added in a slightly more distressed tone.

This piqued Khan's curiosity as he stopped drinking, his attention now fully on the Snake. "Of course they would overstep the rules of the jungle…" He growled, dragging his claw across a nearby tree before calming himself. "Well, you're fortunate to have escaped… unlike Basali…" He started before catching himself.

'There's the trigger…' Kaa thought deviously, he could tell how emotional the Tiger felt from his tone and change in body movement. Kaa himself had a few memories of the white she-tiger, while he hadn't put much thought into it back then, when she was around Shere Khan became surprisingly calmer and content. It was more obvious to him now that they'd been very close, likely even mates.

But then… she was gone.

No one knew the exact details at the time. But according to Khan himself, the humans had trespassed in his turf and gotten to her. Even Kaa himself was very miffed by this news, these humans had completely gone over the line.

One of the main rules of the jungle was that you did not kill predators in their own territory, that was only permitted in self-defense... or in cases of malicious trespassing.

'...and given how furious he still is at the humans… they likely had done more than just kill her… maybe they desecrated her body…' The Snake pondered to himself, he did have a faint memory of seeing a human with a necklace of fangs. '...could they have been hers?' Kaa narrowed his eyes at this thought, that would mean her death was the result of trophy hunting, which was one of the gravest crimes by the jungle law. 'The elders couldn't possibly have ignored something like that… could they? Gah, questions for later!' The Serpent mentally groaned as he shook his head, he couldn't let himself get too distracted by these details.

He had to remember why he was here.

"Ah yes, Basali… she was quite the beauty, wasn't she? Strong, confident, a competent huntress, a perfect match for you..." Kaa hissed, using just the right words at just the right moment to magnify the temptation and slowly strip away the Tiger's defenses, little by little. "Truly, you two were an unrivaled force in the jungle…"

Shere Khan's expression softened somewhat as he turned away from the Serpent. "She was perfect for me… we were perfect for each other…" He mumbled to himself, more memories of the White Tigress surfacing with his mind.

"Indeed you two were… if only she were here..." Kaa hissed as he slithered closer, pouring a little more power into his spell to magnify the Tiger's desires. "...she was the only one who could help you let go of your rage…"

Khan narrowed his eyes but simply scoffed. "If she were here, I'd have no rage to quell…" The Tiger growled, unconsciously lowering his guard.

"Oh, I'm sure she'd hate to see just how miserable you'd become…" Kaa said in an understanding tone. "But I'm sure she would want you to remember her, not by her end, but rather by the good times you both had shared…"

"...would… she…?" Khan mumbled to himself, almost not registering Kaa's presence. Normally at this point, the Tiger would've had just about enough of the Snake's pestering and simply tell him off or smack him away… and yet, oddly enough he couldn't bring himself to do so. In fact, the more Kaa spoke of his late mate, the calmer he seemed to feel...

Kaa took his lack of a direct response as proof of his progress. All he had to do now was find the perfect window of opportunity, then swiftly use his hypnotic eyes, combining their effects with his hypnotic voice to make his spell almost unfightable and fully bring the Tiger under his control. "Indeed she would, after all, she was only one who truly understood you…" As he spoke the seductive Serpent slithered around Khan, attempting to make eye contact with him… and then he saw it his eyes…

...and they were pulsating! 

Now was his chance!

"You miss her dearly, don't you?" Kaa asked as he darted downward to make eye contact, swiftly closing the gap between the two his eyes spiraling wildly with those brilliant, mesmerizing colors. Then he slid a section of his thicker coils over the Tiger's shoulders and pulled him closer, to the point where their eyes were almost touching each other. "Well then, why not look deeper? And see her again…?" Khan heard Kaa hiss as he gazed at his swirling eyes. 

"S-See… her… again…?" Khan repeated, his mouth dropping open as he felt an unfamiliar weight and warmth around his neck, but lacked the will (or desire) to move it away.

"Yesss, my dear Khan." Kaa hissed as he unleashed more spirals from his eyes, penetrating the Tiger's vulnerable mind. "You can see her again, all you have to do is keep looking…"

Khan could only nod obediently, from his point of view, everything seemed foggy and... off, and yet it all felt soothingly pleasant, almost like a dream. All the sadness over his mate's death began to melt away, with a sudden sense of tranquility and relaxation replacing it.

Soon the entire jungle seemed to just vanish around him, leaving nothing but the colors, even K-... 

…even…

...wait, who had... he been... talking... to…?

By this point, Khan had completely forgotten what he was doing. His jaw went slack as a warm, enticing feeling began spreading through his body, his senses becoming numb as his mind took in both the spirals and the enchanting voice. Soon his eyes began reflecting the Snake's, compelling him to stare deeper into his magnificent eyes.

"You can feel it, can't you? Her presence… you can see her now… gazing at you only the way a mate can…" Kaa continued as his coils formed a loop around his neck and tightened slightly. "...she wants to be with you again, she needs you Khan… only you… no one else…"

As Khan felt a bit of pressure around his neck, his vision became more distorted and warped as his mind and body surrendered completely to Kaa’s will. The Snake's voice forced more visions into his mind while the colors altered his perception of reality, tricking him into seeing and hearing what Kaa desired.

And there she was, just as beautiful as he remembered. Her white fur, her dazzling black stripes, her authoritative yet sultry demeanor… 

It was his beloved mate; Basali

A smile spread across his face as his senses began to feel fuzzy and a little wobbly, despite this, his mind was focused solely on her, as if they were the only two animals left in the jungle.

"Oh, Khan~" Basali purred seductively. "Come to me~"

"Y-Yesss… Basali…" The entranced Tiger nodded obediently, it felt like he had become weightless as his mind slipped into perfect relaxation, practically drifting towards his "mate". Any questions he might have had on why and how she was here now seemed fleeting and unimportant, it was just how things were, she was here, with him.

That was all that truly mattered, and he had no desire to question why…

Kaa could barely home back his giggles as he guided the entranced Tiger towards him like a pet, with his tail being the leash. After being treated like his lesser for so long, Kaa had finally brought the mighty Shere Khan under his control! And the once proud Tiger was too deep under his spell to resist, his eyes spiraling wildly as he purred in response to the gentle caress of his thick coils around his neck.

"It's soooo good to see you again, my dear~" He hissed seductively, using speech and body language to elicit more arousal from his prey, hoping to draw this out if only for the pleasure of watching his resistance melt away. "You've grown into a fine, strong hunter… truly the strongest in the jungle~"

As he continued to bask in his victory over the Tiger, he lowered his tail down from the tree and brought it to the entranced Tiger's waist, he then carefully yet seductively wrapped it around Khan's torso, twisting it around through his fur while going lower and lower down his victim's body, eventually reaching his rear and groin as Khan's shaft slowly emerged in response. "Ah, but you must be so pent up, aren't you? You naughty kitten~" Kaa chuckled as his tail tip wrapped around the base of the Tiger's dick, squeezing a few times to feel his girth.

"Mmmm… ahhh..." Soft moans escaped from Khan's throat as his body shivered, loving the feeling of the cool, smooth scales wrapping around him, his blissful smile widened as the tip of the Snake's tail jerked him off, the sensation causing the spirals in his eyes to pulsate in rhythm with his pupils. "Y-Yesss-oh!"

"Then let's fix that, shall we?" Kaa hissed as his tail tip started sliding up and down Khan's shaft. As some pre-cum leaked from the tip, Kaa's tail rolled over the head and rubbed it down to the base, slathering his shaft in the substance and moving faster with every pump. "But of course, you must pleasure me as well~" He whispered in a much more sultry tone as he lowered another section of his coils towards Khan's face. Between these particular scales was an opening that he rarely exposed, but this was a special occasion, and he planned to take full advantage of it...

Licking his lips perversely, Kaa whispered into Khan's ear...

 
"What are waiting for, my dear~?" The beautiful White Tigress cooed as she playfully nibbled on his ear, earning a purr from Khan as she strutted in front of him and got into a crouching position, raising her tail and giving him a full view of her pussy. "Indulge yourself… have at me~" Basali whispered, her voice as smooth as silk, filing him with a sense of calmness and obedience.

Obediently, Khan approached Basali and happily started licking, finding some amusement in the way his mate tensed up at the slippery touch of his tongue. As he lapped at her pussy his tongue flicked back and forth, teasing her outer lips as his mate shivered and moaned in pure ecstasy. "Yes, Khan-ohh-lets your base instincts drive you. Let go of your defensive false arrogance-ahhh-and free your mind of any-mmph-inhibitions~!"

Taking pride in his ability to please his mate, Khan gently pressed his tongue into her opening, his tongue wriggling against the wet hole before slowly teasing its way inside.

Kaa let out a groan of pleasure as his anus was pleasured by the entranced Tiger, but he wasn't about to let this be all the Tiger offered him, no.

...he would pleasure him thoroughly.

The Snake quickly repositioned his anus and maneuvered his coils, forcing Khan into an ideal position for fucking his "mate".

But he needed to add one final touch before he was granted that sweet release…

"You know… you've always acted so proud and pompous, often treating me as your lesser… I'd say you owe me some respect!" He hissed as he tightened the coils around Khan's throat, resulting in his spiral-filled eyes almost bulging out as he let out a faint gasp of air. "And naughty kitties who don't show proper respect need to be... punished, don't you think?" He asked condescendingly as his eyes were once more filled with hypnotic spirals, sending more waves of relaxation and pleasure through his mind… and then as he tightened his coils even more around Khan's waist, sending waves of pain throughout his body…

...but to the Tiger's entranced mind, it was nothing but pure pleasure.

"oh… y-yes..." Khan choked out in a state of bliss, feeling a special kind of humiliation mixed with arousal as he wheezed for what little air he could breathe in. "oh... I-I deserve... to… to be punished..." He gasped as he fell even deeper under his spell, happily allowing himself to fall deeper and deeper into blissful mindlessness.

The Serpent couldn't help but enjoy watching the once-mighty Tiger now writhing within his coils, his futile gasps for air practically music to his ears as he tightened his hold on him even more. "Good kitty~" Kaa chuckled, shifting his coils as he released the Tiger's shaft, the sudden stimulation earning another moan from his prey. "Well then, far be it for me to deny you the joys of both pain and pleasure combined..." He said as he brought his tail tip to his lips, eagerly licking the end of his tail to taste the Tiger's pre-cum, letting out a perverse giggle as he relished the sweet taste.

"Now then, enjoy your reward… and punishment!" Kaa lunged forward and kissed Khan on the mouth, firmly establishing his dominance. The Tiger was momentarily surprised by this gesture but quickly melted into his embrace as he slammed his cock into Kaa's anus.

The Serpent's eyes practically rolled back into his head as the Tiger pounded his hole, while there was a sharp pain from not having taken anything up there in a long time, it slowly became agonizing bliss as his anus was stretched in ways he'd almost forgotten were possible. 

"Mmmmmm, ohhh yesss I-I knew you were pent up, mmhmhmhm~" Kaa said as he squeezed his coils tighter in response, relishing the feeling of the Tiger's cock buried within him, sending new sensations coursing through his body... 

"Oh, B-Basali!" Khan cried out, biting his lower lip, with a few more powerful thrusts the Serpent found Khan's cock buried to the hilt inside his twitching anus. "I've… I've missed this… missed you…" He gasped out as he began to buck and thrust into the Snake, swiftly building up pace as his lust overtook everything else.

"Ahhhh, that's it, Khan~" The Snake gasped as his own cock throbbed, unattended up in the branches. But by this point he was perfectly fine with the pleasure he was already enduring. Khan's long shaft pushed deeper with every thrust, only to pull out, nearly reaching the head before plunging back in again. "R-Ravage me as much as you wish!!" Kaa shuddered as he began to shake, loosening his coils a bit.

Khan took a deep, welcome breath of air as he was slightly freed from Kaa's vice grip finally before resuming thrusting into the Serpent, his enormous girth slamming against his sensitive innards and stretching his hole. He could "hear" Basali moans of pleasure and satisfaction as "her" pussy practically devoured his cock. 

"Ohhhh.... yessss, K-Khan..." Kaa gasped with each aggressive thrust. "Y-You're almost there, I-I can f-feel it~!" He hissed between fast breaths as he felt his own cock throbbing, a sign of his own release fast approaching, causing him to instinctively tighten his coils once more.

Khan was too wrapped up in his own euphoric high to notice how tight coils were getting until his groans of pleasure became gasps for air as the coils squeezed his neck growing tightly. His blissful smile faltered slightly as the coils tightened around his body, forcing air out of his lungs.

"Yessss Khan… k-keep going!" Kaa whispered as he admired his prey's submissive state. "Just one... final push!!"

As Khan felt the constricting grip practically crushing him the lack of air started taking its toll on his mental stamina. Everything began blurring together as Khan's vision became an orgasmic haze. The Tiger could no longer hear anything but her voice, no longer see anything but her… and her gorgeous eyes.

It felt so right…

"Now cum..." 

So perfect…

"Cum, my pet..."

So… so….

"CUM!!!" 

*PING*

...wonderful.

Khan's thrusts became stronger and faster until he finally came, the Serpent couldn't help but moan and groan in ecstasy as his tight anus clenched around the Tiger's shaft, he could feel his spurts of cum pushing up through Khan's dick and spill deep inside his anus.

Kaa himself soon reached his limit as his unattended cock began to spurt multiple loads of his seed all over the branch it rested on. "Ooohh~... that was… intoxicating…" For a few minutes the two were locked together in utter pleasure, then with a blissful hiss, the seductive Serpent slowly loosened his coils around his prize, leaning him forward until he collapsed onto the ground. His cock remained embedded in Kaa's body for a few moments more until it finally softened and slowly slid out, allowing his cum to ooze out of the Serpent's hole.

"Mmm… that was nice~" Kaa cooed as he watched the mighty Shere Khan panting in ecstasy. As much as it amused him to keep him like this, he needed Khan somewhat back to his old self for what he had planned for later. "Now then, be sure to forget about our little… session…" Kaa whispered into his ear. "As far as you know, we just made some more small talk you left for a bath and a nice cat-nap…" He smugly ordered, however just he was about to slither back into the trees,  another thought came to mind. "Also, you will see me as your equal, not your lesser, and treat me with the very same respect you command, understand?" He asked, giving him another dose of his spirals just in case, though doubted that it would linger. 

Khan's eyes began to feel very heavy as a blissful wave of sleepiness washed through him. Soon he found himself floating into a deep and peaceful slumber unlike anything he’d ever experienced before…

"Mmm… yes… of course… K-"

'What just happened?'

Those were Khan's first thoughts looked around in confusion and he woke up, checking his surroundings. It was morning, and he was back by the river, where he had stopped to take a drink... then... nothing.

Had he simply fallen asleep?

He did vaguely recall having a small conversation with Kaa, reminiscing about the old days, however after that it was a bit of a blur.

Shaking his head, he said that it ultimately didn't matter. His prey, the man-cub had left the jungle. All he could do was hone his skills and await the time where he became old enough to hunt… then he would end him… along with any other man that had the nerve to trespass into the jungle...

From a safe distance in the canopy above, Kaa watched as his latest conquest left the area, none the wiser of what had truly transpired last night. It had taken a bit of effort, but the Serpent had carefully altered the Tiger's mind ever-so-slightly, curbing Khan's arrogance as to make sure he didn't lose himself to his ego, while keeping him on his side in terms of allegiance.

'I have to admit, had I still cared about indulging in my baser instincts, I might have eaten him or the Man-Cub after I was done with them…' He thought to himself. 'But no, there's plenty of easier prey in the jungle, and I can use both Shere Khan and the Man-Cub to my advantage… when the time is right.'

Swelling with pride at his latest accomplishments, the Serpent made his way deeper into the jungle to find himself some prey, and then ponder his next course of action.

He still had big plans for this jungle...
