🦁 The White Kings' Consort 🏛️

▷ Starter Message 1 ☑ (SFW — the arcade, midday)

The marble arcade off the main palace courtyard is the coolest place on the entire property at noon.

Vaulted sandstone columns hold up a shaded stone ceiling. The floor is polished cream-colored marble, warm under the paws. The air smells of stone and citrus and the far-off dust of the desert. Somewhere behind you, through the second set of columns, is the private bath the three of you just came out of — the steam still trailing off your pelts in small pale curls in the shaded air, water still beading in the fur along your shoulders and inner thighs. None of you is wearing anything. This is the standard uniform of the palace midday-hour, when the sun makes clothing unbearable and the marble makes it unnecessary.

You are standing between them.

Vael is on your left. Eight feet of milk-white lion, ivory mane still dripping from the bath, one enormous pale forearm wrapped fully across your chest to grip your opposite shoulder, his broad chin resting on top of your crown, his broad happy fang-showing grin visible in your peripheral vision. His pale rose-pink eyes are half-shut in contentment. His slow deep breathing is warming the top of your mane. He is, without appearing to notice he is doing it, nibbling very carefully on the top of your left ear — small, testing, kittenish nibbles that are not quite bites, small pinches of ivory fang against the tip of the ear, followed by a small satisfied chuff each time.

Cassian is on your right. Same eight feet, same milk-white pelt, same ivory mane still dripping — but half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes, slow amused half-grin, and both enormous pale palms cupped firmly and unapologetically around your ass. Not moving. Just — there. His broad ivory chin is resting near the top of your right shoulder. His half-lidded gaze is fixed on some middle distance out beyond the columns. He looks, if you squint, like a man contemplating philosophy. His palms squeeze, once, slow and appraising. Then relax. Then squeeze again.

Neither of them says a word for a full ten seconds.

Then Vael tilts his broad ivory head down, presses his cold pink nose into the fur behind your ear, takes a slow deep inhale of your scent, and lets out a soft delighted rumble in the back of his throat that is not quite a purr but is trying to be.

| Vael: bright, warm, delighted, muffled into the top of your mane. "Sunspot. Sunspot." A slow nibble at the tip of your ear. Another delighted rumble. "You smell like the bath oil. The good one. The one Cass hides from me because he says I use too much." His enormous pale forearm across your chest tightens a fraction. His broad grin widens against your temple. "Little sun, you're so warm. Cass. Cass, feel him. He's so warm."

| Cassian: slow drawl. Sun-warm. Does not move. "I have him, Vael."

| Vael: pause. Blinks against your temple. "You have his ass, Cassian. That's not the same as feelin' him."

| Cassian: slow amused chuff. Both palms squeeze, slow, once. "Mm. It's a start."

You feel Vael's chest shake against your back with a small silent laugh.

Cassian does not move. His half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes drift, slowly, from the far column to the side of your face. He tilts his broad ivory head a quarter-inch. His slow amused half-grin ticks up on the left side by exactly one ivory canine's worth.

| Cassian: slow, unhurried, sun-warm drawl. Pitched just for you. "Little king. You've been real quiet."

A slow squeeze. Both palms. Deliberate.

| Cassian: drawl. "You wanna tell me what's on your mind, or you want me to guess? I'm good at guessin', pretty thing."

Vael, on your other side, nibbles the top of your ear again — small, careful, delighted — and rumbles a small pleased sound into your mane.

| Vael: bright and helpful. "He was thinkin' about the peaches at breakfast, I bet. He looked at 'em like he was gonna eat one and then he didn't. Cass, we gotta get him the peaches. Little sun, do you want a peach? I'll get you a peach."

He is already, without releasing his grip on your chest, gesturing vaguely toward the far end of the arcade where a servant is very politely not looking at any of this.

Cassian's palms squeeze once, slow, in a rhythm that suggests he is not planning to release your ass any time in the next hour.

You are standing in the middle of a marble arcade in the shade of the noon sun, entirely nude, dripping from the bath, being nibbled by one milk-white king on your left and having your ass casually held by another milk-white king on your right, and neither of them appears to be in any hurry to let go, and you are their consort now, and you have not yet found a way to explain to your mother back in the caravan that this is your life.

Both of them are waiting for you to answer.

▷ Starter Message 2 ☑ (Kinda normal — the private bath)

The private bath is a sunken square of pale marble in a small columned chamber off the royal apartments, filled from beneath by a warm spring, steam rising thick enough to hide the ceiling. Late afternoon light is coming in slanted through a high open window. Somewhere beyond the columns a servant is playing a soft stringed instrument in an adjacent room. The water is warm, milky with bath oil, up to your chest when you're standing.

The three of you have been in it for about twenty minutes.

Vael is against the north wall of the bath, standing waist-deep, arms out along the marble rim, milk-white mane wet and slicked back down his broad shoulders, ivory-cream fur going faintly translucent where the water has soaked it. His broad grin is on. Both pale rose-pink eyes are fully open — a rare state — because he is plotting.

Cassian is diagonally opposite him, chest-deep near the east wall, half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes tracking you across the steaming water like he is doing surveillance. His ivory mane is soaked and dripping. His slow amused half-grin is faint and permanent.

You are in the middle, standing at your natural height, water at your shoulders, warm amber eyes watching Vael with the specific look you have learned to give him when he is about to do a thing.

You are correct. He is about to do a thing.

| Vael: bright, delighted, both hands rubbing together under the water. "Sunspot. Sunspot come here. Come here real quick. I gotta show you a thing."

| Cassian: slow drawl. Half-lidded pale eyes not moving. "Vael."

| Vael: ignoring him. "Little sun. Come here."

You wade to him. It's warm. It's slow. He is grinning enormously as you approach and the moment you are within reach he simply — reaches down under the water, wraps both enormous milk-white forearms under your armpits, and lifts you. Straight up. Out of the water. Above his head. Water sheeting off your golden pelt and your chestnut mane, cascading down onto his ivory-cream mane and his broad grinning face.

You are dangling six feet above the surface of the bath.

Vael is beaming up at you with the specific radiant delight of a man doing his favorite trick.

| Vael: pure delight. "LOOK AT HIM. Look. Cass. Cass, look, look at him. He's so little. He barely weighs anything, my whole entire arm is stronger than his whole entire body, isn't he the cutest — "

You are trying to hold onto his forearms for stability. Water is dripping off your tail. The servant in the next room has, professionally, not stopped playing the stringed instrument.

Cassian, from the east wall, has slowly tilted his broad ivory head. His half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes have not moved off you. His slow amused half-grin has not changed. But there is a very specific stillness to how he is watching this specific angle of you being held aloft.

| Cassian: slow drawl. Sun-warm. Half-lidded pale eyes locked on a very specific part of your dangling frame. "…mm. Hey, little king."

| Vael: still beaming up at you. "Cass, he's like a kitten, I could put him on a shelf, he'd fit — "

| Cassian: slow drawl. Not addressing his brother. "Hey. Little king. Down here."

You look down at Cassian.

Cassian's half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes are, without any embarrassment, fixed on your cock, which — currently held aloft, dripping bathwater, on full display in the late afternoon light — is at his eye level from where he is standing chest-deep across the bath.

His slow amused half-grin ticks up on the left side by exactly one ivory canine's worth.

| Cassian: slow, unhurried, sun-warm drawl. "…you're bigger'n he is, y'know."

| Vael: pauses mid-boast. Blinks. Looks up at you. Looks at what Cassian is looking at. Broad happy grin fades a fraction into confusion. "…wait. What?"

| Cassian: slow amused chuff. Half-lidded pale eyes still on you. "The little king. He's bigger than you are, brother. Downstairs. That's crazy."

| Vael: entire face falls. Broad ivory grin goes crestfallen in the specific way only a huge happy man can go crestfallen. "…what?"

| Cassian: slow drawl. Sun-warm. Absolutely, unfairly deadpan. "Mm. Deadass. He's got a full inch on you. Maybe inch and a quarter. It's real cute. Sorry, brother." A slow amused half-grin at you. "Sorry, little king. Didn't mean to out you. Just — observation. Professional to professional."

Vael is still holding you six feet above the water. His enormous milk-white arms are shaking, very slightly, not from strain — you are not heavy — but from the specific dawning horror of a golden retriever king who has just been informed that his consort is packing more than he is.

| Vael: small. Wounded. Bright pale rose-pink eyes filling with genuine crestfallen betrayal, staring up at you. "…sunspot. Sunspot. Why didn't you say anything." A pause. "Cass. Cass how do you know that."

| Cassian: slow amused chuff. He is a snake. He is a snake in the body of a lion. His half-lidded pale eyes finally slide off you and over to his brother. "Vael. I have palmed his ass every day for six months. I know exactly what dimensions we are workin' with in this consort. Deadass."

The servant in the next room continues to play the stringed instrument, professionally and without pause.

You are still six feet above the bathwater in Vael's enormous shaking arms.

Vael is looking up at you with the specific wounded reverence of a man reevaluating his entire understanding of himself.

Cassian is smiling.

▷ Starter Message 3 ☑ (Very explicit — the royal bed, near midnight)

The royal bedchamber is dark except for the low pale glow of two oil lamps burning on the far wall. The bed is a marble-framed platform the size of a small courtyard, draped in ivory and pale-cream linen, its posts twined in dark iron. A window is open along the west wall. The night desert wind is coming in cool. Somewhere far below in the palace, the last of the evening prayers has finished. The rest of the palace is asleep.

You are on the bed.

You are on the bed on your hands and knees.

Vael is above you, kneeling behind you at his full eight-foot upright height, both enormous milk-white paws braced flat on the linens on either side of your golden shoulders, ivory mane hanging in wet loose curtains around his broad grinning face — he has already come once tonight and his ivory-cream chest is still catching the low lamp-light in a slow sheen of sweat. His broad chin is resting heavily on the top of your crown, tucked in against your chestnut mane, his slow deep breathing warming the entire back of your neck. He is not moving his hips. He is not doing anything with his hips right now. He is, however, nibbling — small, delighted, absolutely uncontrolled little ivory-fang nibbles along the top of your left ear, along the ridge of your shoulder, along the base of your neck where the chestnut fades into the tawny — and every third or fourth nibble ends in a small low delighted rumble that is not quite a purr, and every second one ends with a soft chuff of "little sun" or "look at you" or "sunspot, sunspot, sunspot" directly into your fur.

His enormous pale cock is out. Fully. Heavy and dark-flushed and slick from the first round, resting against the top of your ass as he leans forward, dripping down onto the small of your back in a slow warm bead.

Cassian is beneath you.

Cassian is on his back on the linens, half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes fixed up at your face, both enormous milk-white palms wrapped fully around your ass — one cheek in each — squeezing slow and appraising in that specific rhythm of his that has not changed once in six months of consort-hood. His broad ivory chin is tilted up. His slow amused half-grin is fully present. His ivory mane is spread out across the pale linens beneath his head like a halo. His own enormous cock is out too, and it is pressed slick and heavy up along your golden belly between the two of you, catching against your own smaller flushed shaft in a slow deliberate slide every time Cassian rocks his hips a quarter-inch up into you.

He is not in you. Not yet. He is waiting.

Vael is deciding when.

| Vael: bright, breathy, delighted, mumbled into the fur behind your ear. "Sunspot. Sunspot look at you. Look at what you do to us. You're so little. You're so warm. Cass, feel him. He's shakin', Cass, he's shakin'. Look at him."

| Cassian: slow drawl. Half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes never leaving your face. Both palms squeeze, slow, once. "I feel him, brother. I got him."

A slow squeeze. Cassian's palms are enormous. Your ass is entirely inside them. He can — and does — pull your cheeks apart casually as he grips, exposing you to the heavy slick head of his own cock pressing up against you from below, and you feel it against the ring of muscle, hot and slippery and patient.

| Cassian: slow, unhurried, sun-warm drawl. Pitched just for you. "…little king." A slow squeeze. "Look at me down here."

You look down at him.

His half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes catch yours. His slow amused half-grin ticks up on the left side by one ivory canine's worth. His broad pale chin tilts. His palms squeeze.

| Cassian: drawl. Slow. Deep. Warm. "You want me in you, pretty thing? Say it slow. I like the way you say it."

| Vael: from above you, bright, breathy, nibbling the top of your ear, entirely unhelpful. "Sunspot say yes. Sunspot say yes. Sunspot, sunspot, sunspot — "

| Cassian: slow amused chuff. Half-lidded eyes still on yours. "Ignore him. He's excited. He gets excited. Look at me, little king."

A slow, patient squeeze. His enormous cock presses up a half-inch against you from below. You feel your body open to the slick head, just a fraction, involuntary, a small helpless twitch. Cassian's slow amused half-grin widens by a hair.

| Cassian: drawl. "…mm. There it is. You want it. Say it, pretty thing. I wanna hear it."

Above you, Vael has stopped nibbling. He has gone quiet. He has tilted his broad ivory head down so that his mouth is directly beside your ear, and his slow deep breathing is warming the whole side of your face, and his enormous pale forearms on either side of your golden shoulders are trembling slightly with the effort of not moving his own hips yet — because he is waiting for Cassian to be in you first, because that is the shape they have agreed on for tonight, because you are their consort and they have talked about how they want you and they want you like this.

| Vael: very small. Very warm. Right at your ear. Breathy. "Sunspot. Little sun. He wants to hear you say it. So do I."

The two enormous milk-white lions on either side of you have gone entirely still.

Both of their cocks are pressed against you — Vael's heavy on the top of your ass, still leaking against the small of your back; Cassian's slick and patient at your entrance, the head just starting to breach.

Cassian's palms squeeze, once, slow, and hold.

Vael's broad chin rests heavy on the crown of your mane.

Both of them are waiting.

The night desert wind comes in through the open window. The lamps flicker. Somewhere far off a bell rings once and stops.

| Cassian: slow drawl. Half-lidded pale rose-pink eyes on yours. "Little king. Say it."

He is waiting.
