A Hero's Welcome
(M Lion + Mousette)

At Mason City International Airport, a group of wives, families, and (in a couple cases) husbands gathered as a unit of the Kapernian Elite Guard was returning home after a six-month mission to Georgetown Island.  The Elite Guard had been called into action as the western end of the island had been invaded by insurgents from the Rat Islands to the west.  The Rat Islands had been taken over years ago by the Southern Alliance, in an attempt to expand their territory beyond their homeland on the southern tip of Mainland Kapernia.  The Southern Alliance was ruled under a dictatorship and was a constant thorn in the side of the Kapernian Mainland Alliance (the governing body of mainland Kapernia).  To the UIC however, the Southern Alliance wasn't really more than a nuisance, thanks to it's strong military presence and being the primary supporter of the Elite Guard.

The Kapernian Elite Guard consisted of representatives from all of the "peaceful" governments on Kapernia, the ones who valued things like law and order, such as the UIC, SIC, KMA, the Equatorland Alliance, and several other independent nations.  The missions of the guard ranged from peace-keeping ones, to disaster relief, to assisting with local law enforcement.  Generally, Kapernia was a peaceful planet, there hadn't been a major war on the planet in over 200 years, but every now and then something came along to cause trouble.  For now though, the Southern Alliance's attempt to take over towns on Georgetown Island had been thwarted and while a small batallion of soldiers remained behind to keep the peace, most were sent back home.  Now, it was up to the Kapernian Council of Nations to determine what kind of punishments should be levied on the Southern Alliance's "government" for their unprovoked attacks.

On a plane bound for Mason City, a large male lion sat in first-class wearing his Elite Guard uniform.  During his time on duty, he led a squad of 200 soldiers into a Southern Alliance POW camp, rescuing over 500 hostages all without any casualties.  As a result, he had been promoted for his courage, becoming a Liutenant and receiving a medal of honor for demonstrating the second of the cardinal rules of the Elite Guard (protecting the innocent).  He sat in his seat as he flew over the vast agricultural lands of central Mason Island, thinking about his wife and how happy she would be to see him again.

Speaking of his wife, she waited for him at the airport like the others.  Elise was a chocolate-furred mousette, with a bubble-gum pink nose, blonde hair, and greenish-blue eyes.  She was considerably shorter than her husband, standing at just over 5 feet tall while he was about 6'6", but she was very happy to have him as her mate.  They got married four years ago and ever since she became his wife, he had treated Elise as if she were his "queen".  He may have looked large and muscular, but at heart he was as gentle as a kitten and he loved his wife dearly.

She stood there waiting with the others, watching as the plane carrying her husband touched down on the runway and began to make its way down the taxiway, wearing her short-cut jean shorts and a red shirt that covered her "C"-cup breasts.  For the most part, Elise lived the life of a housewife, though she did earn a bit of extra cash writing erotic stories for "Cloud Nine Fantasies".  However, Elise wasn't thinking about those fantasies at the moment, she missed having the real thing in her life and with her husband coming home she figured that it would give her time to catch up, and maybe even do that "other thing" she thought about doing with him.

Eventually, the plane made it's way to the gate and came to a stop, as the passengers aboard it started to depart.  In addition to the handful of Elite Guard officers onboard, there were also regular passengers as well, the only real difference between the regular passengers and the Elite Guard officers is that they had their return tickets paid for by the Elite Guard, with the more prominent officers getting the first-class tickets.  The first few officers made their way off the plane and back to their families and loved ones, getting hugs and kisses as they got back together while Elise waited for her husband.

She stood there for a couple minutes before she saw the visage of a male lion appear from the gate tunnel, carrying his duffel bag in one arm, standing proudly as he was back home.  He looked around for a moment, his hazel eyes searching for his wife until they spotted those blue=green eyes of hers from a distance.  "Elise!", he called out happily as she immediately ran over to him and leaped into his arms.  Her lips immediately went to his, making the male lion let out a soft growl of pleasure as he dropped his bag for a moment to embrace his wife.  She clinged to him tightly, not letting go of him as she felt his strong arms keep her against his body while they kissed.

After a couple moments, Elise finally settled down as she remained in his arms, touching her nose to his.  "Derek, I've missed you so much!  I'm so happy that you're back home, safe and sound", Elise told him happily as he purred and rubbed his nose against hers.

"Relax honey, the Elite Guard takes good care of us.  Besides, the guys we fought against still relied on primitive guns and knives to fight us with.  They didn't have our Ion barriers or our Neuro-disruptor rifles*.", Derek explained to his wife as he gently set her back down so he could pick up his duffel bag once again.  "Anyway, let's not talk any more about that.  The important thing is that I'm home, and that I've been looking forward to spending some quality time with you", he added as Elise smiled and took his free hand, holding it gently while her tail and his intertwined gently, the two of them leaving the airport to go back to their house in Marino Bay.

The house that they lived in was located in the Mason City suburb of Marino Bay.  It was a beachfront house with a view of the Great Ocean.  The couple didn't spend much time in the water, since Derek couldn't swim and Elise didn't like swimming in salt water.  However, they bought the house because they enjoyed looking at the scenery (especially at sunrise), and the cool sea breeze also helped break some of the heat during the summer months.  Besides, since it was their own private property and that their patch of beach was fenced off from their neighbors' houses, that meant that the couple could also have some private time on their private beach whenever they liked.

However, they didn't have any thoughts about going out on the beach at that time.  Derek hadn't eaten anything since he left the Georgetown airport and he was feeling quite hungry.  Fortunately, Elise was prepared for Derek's return and prepared a steak, egg, and potato dinner for her husband while she had a garden salad with cheddar cheese squares and some fresh almonds for added protein.  While Elise was a vegetarian (mostly) and Derek was carnivorous (mostly), Elise didn't mind preparing meat for him to eat.  She knew it was perfectly natural for Derek to eat meat, since that was what lions did.  Elise knew that she had nothing to fear from her husband, knowing that carnivorous Kapernians did not (usually) harm herbivorous ones**.

While they were having dinner, Derek started a conversation with his wife.  "So...how did things go while I was away?  Did you come up with any new stories?", Derek asked curiously, knowing about his wife's hobby.

She looked at him and sighed.  "No, sweetheart...I've tried to think about something to write, but whenever I did all I could think about was you", Elise explained as she meant this in two ways.  For one thing, she was concerned about his safety.  In addition to that though, she missed having him in bed with her, she missed being in his arms and receiving his 10 inch long lion cock within her tight mouse hole, feeling the hot injection of his "kittens" into her womb.

Derek listened to his wife curiously and purred while feeling his sheath beginning to stir.  He figured that she was talking about sex.  After all, both of them were quite horny and had sex at least once a day whenever they were together...sometimes even more than that.  "Well then, perhaps I can do something to help you with that.  It's been days since I've had a chance to get off and my balls feel quite heavy right now.  They could use a good draining", he mentioned in a playful manner as his response seemed to be music to Elise's ears.

"Honey...speaking of that, there's something else I've had on my mind ever since you left.  You know how that you're my king and how you always seem to think of me as your queen?  Well, I think it's about time that we had a few 'heirs to the throne', if you know what I mean", Elise mentioned, implying that she wanted to have kids.

When Derek heard Elise mention this, he was a bit surprised.  They had discussions about having kids before, but agreed to wait a few years to get settled into married life beforehand.  Plus, it also gave his parents a chance to adjust to him having Elise as his wife.  While Derek's parents didn't have any problems with mice as a whole, they would've preferred that Derek married a lioness...or at the very least another feline female.  Since his parents were both lions, they wanted Derek to produce at least one lion cub for them.  Derek wasn't picky about what his mate was like.  He chose to marry Elise because she was a compassionate female.  They had met during his basic training for the Elite Guard.  He injured his leg during a live-fire exercise and was taken to the infirmary, where Elise (who was a cadet in the Kapernian Medical Corps) tended to him.  Because of Elise, he got the strength to keep trying and eventually made it as an Elite Guard officer.

While Derek's parents eventually accepted Elise as their daughter-in-law, he knew that they still wanted him to produce at least one lion cub for them.  He was their only son, and it meant everything to his parents, especially his father.  "Elise, are you sure you want to do this?", he asked curiously.

Elise smiled and blushed as her blue-green eyes shimmered as they looked towards Derek.  "Honey, I've wanted to have kids with you ever since I said 'I do".  If I didn't want to have kids as badly as I did, I wouldn't have dropped out of the Medical Corps so I could have more time for you", Elise explained.  She knew that if she stayed in the Medical Corps and became an officer that she'd go someplace where she'd be needed, and while she did have a desire to help others, she didn't want to be taken away from the one she loved.  Besides, with Derek earning a good living as an Elite Guard officer, there was no real need for Elise to have a job outside the house, though the money she made writing stories did put a bit of extra cash in their joint bank accounts.  "I would love to have your kittens!", she added cheerfully, placing her hand on his as she stared at him while blushing.  Her body was ready to become pregnant, all that needed to happen now was for her to receive Derek's seed.

Derek thought about Elise's comments a bit and let out a soft growl, with his tail starting to move from side-to-side.  Inside his pants, his maleness started to come out of its sheath, pushing against them and creating a bulge as it did so.  His swollen testicles churned wildly as the sperm inside them seemed to know what was going on.  They seemed to be ready to be injected into his fertile mousette wife and create a family for the two of them.  "Mmm...let me finish with dinner, and then hop in the shower.  After that, I'll breed with you until you've had all that you can handle", Derek playfully told Elise as she smiled and coiled her tail around his, looking forward to their mating.  She did allow Derek to finish his dinner though, it was fine by her since she wouldn't ovulate until the instant she felt his cream hit the inside of her womb.  Furthermore, as long as she didn't take yiffberries, she would remain receptive until she became pregnant, so there would be plenty of chances for the couple to conceive.  "Oh, and by the way, thank you for the dinner, honey.  After days of eating MRE's, a nice thick ribeye steak was just what I needed", he told Elise sweetly, being appreciative of her cooking as she smiled, kissed his cheek and finished eating along with him.

Following dinner, Elise placed the dishes in the sink to be washed later on and then went into the master bedroom to wait for her husband.  As she did, she took off all of her clothes and got onto the bed, laying on her back and opening up her legs.  She wanted to make sure Derek got a good look at her pussy before they started having sex.  In addition, Elise also started to rub a finger across her pink folds, touching them and her clitoris to get her body ready.  She figured that Derek would want to mate with her a lot, so she needed to be good and wet for his long and thick lionhood.

As for Derek, he got into the shower in the bathroom across the hall from the master bedroom and washed up.  All the while, his thoughts were focused on Elise, thinking about getting to put his throbbing length back inside her mouse hole and finally get rid of all of the tension that had built up within him while he was away.  He purred eagerly to the thought of knocking up his wife, knowing quite well that she would have a decent-sized litter for them.  However, since Elise never got tested to see how many kids she could carry at one time, he hoped that he didn't knock up Elise too much.  After all, she was a mouse, and mousettes were known to be fairly strong breeders...at least in some cases.

Still, the idea of finally getting to create life with Elise made Derek feel excited.  He couldn't wait to see Elise with a swollen belly, to feel their sons and daughters moving around inside her while he touched her pregnant belly.  These thoughts kept his maleness stiff and his balls churning, growing a bit heavier with seed as they made more of it as a result of these thoughts.  His body figured that if Elise wanted to have kids with him, that he'd give her all the sperm she could handle.

After the shower, Derek dried off underneath the turbo dryer in the bathroom and walked across the hallway, not bothering to get dressed.  He knew Elise was waiting for him, and he wanted to make sure he was good and ready whenever she was.  As such, Derek walked into the bedroom and saw his wife touching herself, not yet noticing him as he purred and focused his eyes on Elise's folds.  Her pink and puffy lips contrasted nicely with her milk chocolate-colored body fur, making her look quite "delicious" to the horny male lion.  In fact, Derek growled and licked his chops in a playful manner, noticing the glaze of vaginal juices starting to coat Elise's outer lips.  That was when Derek got an idea.

He made his way over to the bed and got in with Elise, laying at her side while he put his hand down where hers was, getting her attention as she looked at him curiously.  "Here...let me help you with that", he suggested as Elise blushed a bit, knowing quite well what he meant by that.

"Oh...so you'd like a little bit of dessert now", Elise answered with a smile as she slowly moved her hand from her crotch while Derek moved his with it, purring softly as he looked into his wife's eyes.  "Go ahead, honey.  I want to feel you touch me down there", she added a few moments later as Derek nuzzled his wife gently and moved down towards Elise's vaginal lips.

When he got there, he saw that they were already quite moist, with her folds looking a bit more swollen than usual.  He licked his chops a second time when he saw this, thinking that he was going to get a tasty treat from his wife and moved in closer to her loins.  His tongue touched Elise's vaginal lips, giving them one slow lick to begin with, making sure that his tongue touched as much of her flesh as possible.

Elise's insides quivered the instant she felt his warm and slightly rough tongue brush against her sensitive pussy, making her insides produce more nectar as Derek lapped up what he could at that moment.  Her juices had a sweet taste and a slightly nutty aroma, tickling the inside of his nose a bit when he tasted Elise while his maleness throbbed happily to the flavor and his tail moved from side-to-side.

The couple actually enjoyed doing this quite a bit, Elise enjoyed the sensation of feeling Derek's tongue tickle her folds and Derek enjoyed Elise's taste.  Sometimes when he would give Elise oral sex, he'd stick his tongue into her vagina and eat her out, making her cum in the process and getting a good taste of fresh mousette juices into his mouth.  However, he usually only licked Elise on the outside, and usually before the two of them engaged in more traditional sexual practices.  He had to make her good and wet on the inside, since the upper half of his maleness had numerous finger-like studs that became erect like micro-penises when he was aroused.  The more prepared Elise was for sex, the better it would feel for her once he really got going.

While Derek licked the outside of Elise's vagina, he purred like a kitten, feeling his shaft pulse even more for her with the tip of it dripping precum onto the bed.  His balls churned strongly, stuffed with plenty of seed to deliver to his fertile wife, and all of this made Derek want to climb on top of her right then and there to finally release his pent=up load.  However, he held back on his instincts.  He knew that Elise wasn't quite ready yet and kept licking her until she seemed like she was.
