The Lion's Princess (Closed for Asa)

You did not have to go but thank you love. he smiled sheepishly “I uhhh…..i had to make a pitstop on the way” he smiled as he hummed into the kiss, happy to see the playful smile return to her face. Gods, that smile really did make her shine and warmth spread throughout his body as he slipped into bed, the tray between them. Teasing, playful as he fed her bits and morsels, eating their sandwichs in comfortable silence. Picking up a grape he gave it a light squeeze, letting the juice drip over her chin and down her neck, he leaned in, swiping his tongue along the curve of her jaw then down her neck, nipping lightly as the hollow of her throat before he laid back, eyes sparkling with a playful light “mmmm yummy…” he said, making a show of licking his lips
 
She laughed and leaned to kiss him with a little nip.

My wonderful loving Nefer did you ask for the poor priest's forgiveness for terrifying him?

She winked and reaching for some of the fruit and taking a bite of the grapes.
 
He kissed her back, and he jerked lightly as he felt her teeth nip at his lip and a low playful growl rumbled from his chest, as his eyes sharpened and narrowed, a smile curling them, although the sudden spike of lust that simple nip had given him gave way to a hot flush as he blushed at his priestess teasing words My wonderful loving Nefer did you ask for the poor priest's forgiveness for terrifying him? he ducked his head, “umm, maybe? Kinda?” why he was embarrassed that she knew him so well he didn’t know, but the fact that her teasing admonishments made him blush like he was still a young cub never failed to make him feel all blushy and shit, not that he was upset, but damn it, he was a mature male lion!.....sorta….. “he grabbed a strawberry and bite into it, enjoy the sweet ripe taste of it, a small dribble of juice running down his chin
 
Kissing his chin to get the juice from the strawberry she winked.

They mean no harm just when they have news they feel the need to tell me immediately. And Makmood is one of the oldest people living in the village around the temple.

She snuggled close. She knew she needed to see if Makmood was right and if this person he believes is still around actually is but she did not want to leave Nefer's arms or this bed any time soon. She did, however, wonder how their new feline citizens were doing.
 
Nefer shivered when she licked his chin, and he growled/purred deeper, arm tightening slightly around her as they snuggled They mean no harm just when they have news they feel the need to tell me immediately. he huffed a brief laugh “I know” he sighed but still smiled “im just feeling……..edgy….yet…” he ran his hand through her hair as he popped a few more grapes into his mouth then offered her one “these are very ripe and sweet” he said innocently, then leaned up and took her mouth, his tongue slipping past her lips as he deepened it briefly then pulled back, eyes gleamin “but I still think you taste better” he winked playfully, he wanted to remove that worried look off her face, he could read the thoughts and emotions that flitted across her face, and could scent the storm that brewed about everything, he nuzzled her gently “please my Priestess, I cant stand to see the worries in your eyes, let me ease you, “ he pleaded quietly cupping her face
 
I am fine just thinking Nefer.

She kissed him softly as she snuggled against him.

People come to me for advice and still I can not answer my own question of what I should do.

She hugged him close and smiled trying to reassure him

I am fine but I also don't want to leave this bed any time soon
 
He kissed her back, idly stroking her back as she spoke her thoughts outloud, nodding softly and smiling as she puzzled over things. People come to me for advice, but I can not even answer my own question of what I should do. he ran his hand through her hair and kissed her forehead gently”I think the Goddess was right, I think that Ra has more answers then he is willing to tell, could we speak with him? You could……well…….glare at him?.......or….something? till he talks?” he blinked, ok, that didn’t sound nearly as stupid in his head…..shaking his hair out of his face he sighed, then smirked I am fine but I also don't want to leave this bed any time soon he chuckled and shifted his position slightly as wrap his arms around her and pull her tight “you really should rest for a bit longer” kissing her neck he rose from the bed, moving to her dresser he glanced over the various items she had, nose flaring as he sniffed, then picked up a capped bottle and returned to the bed “let me relax you my Priestess” he said, pulling the stopper from the bottle and the scent of roses floated in the air as he worked her lotion into his hands
 
She laid there in her stomach feeling him rubbing the lotions onto her.

Mmmm I get the feeling you are trying to distract me from my thoughts lover.

She glanced back with a smile and a wink.
 
Mmmm I get the feeling you are trying to distract me from my thoughts lover.. His eyes gleamed as his lips quirked with the barest hint of a smile, but he refused to respond, she was right of course, he was trying to distract her, his lion was roaring in his head because she was so uncomfortable and upset, and they wanted her happy, and wanted to rip apart whatever made her unhappy. And it was also the duality that touching her soothed him and his beast as well, Kyrah and Kyrie had explained about shifters needing to touch and be touched, while lion's weren't as social as some of the other breeds, it still was ingrained in them. Leaning over her he placed soft kisses along her spine, his hands working across her shoulders and neck, smiling as she FINALLY began to relax beneath him. He kissed his way down her back, nipping softly at her ass with a growled chuckle as he felt her jump and his hands followed suit, moving to the backs of her thighs, applying more lotion as he continued,
 
Her eyes closed with a smile as she laid there.

It will all sort out... And whatever it does we are still us.
 
It will all sort out... And whatever it does we are still us. he watched as she finally relaxed, smiling he kissed a slow line up her back and settled in against her, his arm wrapping around her waist he pulled her back so his body cocooned hers in his warmth, lips kissing softly along the column of her neck as he too settled “yes, it will” he purred softly, because he would except nothing else but for everything to work out. Stifling a yawn he pulled their blankets up around them “mmmm but first…….a cat nap…” he yawned, nuzzling his face into her hair, taking comfort in her nearness and her scent once more
 
She snuggled back against him agreeing about the nap and closed her eyes. It was always so peaceful and safe with Nefer there with her. pulling the blankets over them she was soon sound asleep
 
It was nearly dawn the next morning when Nefer woke, blinking slowly, sound and scent coming back to him, he smelled food outside their door and Kyrah’s scent. Yawning and stretching as only a feline can he rose from the bed and chuckled, running hand through Tikara’s hair “I think we slept longer then we wanted to” he kissed her forehead as she too slowly roused. “apparently Kyrah brought us breakfast” he said as he opened the door. we have received word that that Pharaoh is on his way here, and he is aware of the situation and the……rumors…..” her gaze shifted to Tikara briefly then back to him as she offered him the tray He said he is aware of the legends but said no more then that… she smiled gently then, The priests are getting ready for morning prayer service, and the lioness’s have been asked to attend, I guess an introduction of sorts to the town, although most of them already know them she rolled her eyes and smiled
 
Tikara nodded listening. She stood moving to get ready and peeking to see what the breakfast was feeling quite hungry.

That will be fine a formal introduction is a wonderful idea. In fact a banquet I believe is in order
 
Nefer smiled and nodded, stripping off his shirt as Kyrah left he stretched again as he took looked over the food, grabbing a banana he headed to the bathing pool. He stripped down and stepped in. washing quickly he sunk below the water to rinse. He made a note that he would have to have one of the servants trim his Mane. It grew so fast lately it was becoming unruly, on impulse he shifted as he stepped from the pool, and shook himself dry. Shifting back he grinned at the peaked look on his lover’s face but could tell she was trying to keep from laughing “what? Was faster?” he grinned sheepishly as he kissed her “Banquet huh? “ he thought about that “well, if the Pharoah is on his way, I suppose you do have a point…”
 
She just smiled and finished getting ready.

I want them to find a chance at a normal life and in all honesty not end up with the Pharaoh thinking he has more concubines because of what they endured before. No offense against him in any way but they have finally earned their freedom but know no other way of being so I worry.

She shook her head with a sigh.

Does that make any sense
 
I want them to find a chance at a normal life and in all honesty not end up with the Pharaoh thinking he has more concubines because of what they endured before Nefer both smiled then growled at that thought “I wont let that happen, “ he growled again “I think at least the 2 older females would make good guards, Kyrah said they’ve spent a little bit of time with the orphans who’ve come to the temple for schooling and the people have been asking questions about them” he smiled as he tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead “it makes sense my love, im only half animal” he winked teasingly and offered his arm “Shall we my Priestess?”
 
She thought for a bit.

Yes Karnak I am final law. They live here and find love jobs and their own families here unless they choose something else.
 
Yes in Karnak, I am final law. Nefer couldn’t help but grin at the steel her heard in her voice with that statement, his eyes twinkling “I love when you get all fired up and passionate” he leaned in to nuzzle his lips against the crook of her neck They live here, and find love, jobs and their own families here Nefer nodded “im sure they will be glad to have the choice” they walked in companionable quiet, as he often did, he watched the coming and goings of the priests, staff and servants, occasionally glancing out a window over looking the small city.PRIESTESS!! Nefer’s gaze shifted as Syrene, Brae, and Annalysse walked up, bowing slightly at the waist in respect It is good to see you up and around, feeling well we hope? Annalysse asked, a genuine smile curling her lips
 
Yes I am feeling better Thank you.

She smiled to them.

So what have you three been doing while I was again resting from another... moment.

She really did not know what to call what happened to her. She simply felt very very alive and then dead tired.
 
Yes I am feeling better Thank you. Their smiles were a mix of pleased and relieved, but all were genuine in their happiness, So what have you three been doing while I was again resting they giggled some at the Priestess hesitation but quieted quickly, “we’ve spent time with Mother Bast, and the priests here have been kind enough to teach us about some of this lands ways and customs” Annalysse said, “the cheetahs had told us you were resting, but we knew you had not eaten. We thought we’d come check on you, but well, here you are” she chuckled and turned “we’d be happy to escort you to the main hall, many are looking forward to seeing you, the people too, its awe inspiring to us, to see such devotion by the humans” she said quietly as they turned, bowing as they allowed Nefer and Tikara to lead them
 
She walked along with them to the dining hall. A young magi walked over bowing.

Makmood says your need to sleep so deeply afterwards he hopes is not a bad sign
 
They talked quietly as they made their way to the dining hall, the 3 lioness’s talking about spending time in town, exploring and doing a lot of personal reflection while with the goddess’s. smiling as they nodded to the young guard who approached, Makmood says your need to sleep so deeply afterwards, he hopes is not a bad sign Nefer gave the young man an appraising look, head cocking to one side “no, a bad thing it is not, we will talk more with him shortly, but be at peace, her body and mind just needed to recover after expending that much force, much like I do after ive shifted a lot, “ he explained, having spent as much time if not more thinking and worrying, but having not left her side after the first incident, he was positive now on his conclusion and was curious to speak with Tikara and Makmood more at length. Smiling as the magi opened the doors to the dining hall for them they were greated with cheers and exhalations of joy that the priestess had joined them for morning meal. Nefer helped Tikara to sit then joined her smiling as he gently squeezed her hand in his
 
She smiled and held Nefer's hand.

I am sure all is fine and trust that Nefer would know due to his own unique abilities

Nodding to those in the dining hall and smiling to them she sat down to eat.

I will meet with Makmood after the meal and then for a walk through the village.
 
Nefer gave Tikara’s hand a gentle squeeze and a loving smile as he helped her to sit, then sat to her left, the others smiling and bidding a good morning, the 3 lioness’s sitting opposite them as food was brought out, conversation turned back to the Lioness’s plans for touring the city and even going out with the Magi to patrol, while they were sure that nothing unpleasant was in the area they thought It would be good to learn more now that they were free from unpleasant men, Sekmet and Bast making an appearance as they offered a prayer and well wishes for those attending that morning. Nefer idly chatted with a few priests and servants, about current events and several of the orphanages in the village having requested he stop by, the children missing him playing with them, he nodded, telling them that they would indeed be out and about today much to the childrens delight. As things began to wind down Makmood hobbled over and sat down, the lioness’s excusing themselves as the old man smiled warmly and nodded to Tikara
