PRECIOUS CARGO @Copyright 1999, Maureen. All rights reserved. Part 24 A powerfully muscled lion attendant wheeled one of the covered dishes toward Fodessa. As she watched, a fresh wave of moisture tickled her vulva, and her tail twitched. Four other attendants, moving in a body, stepped between the guests on one side of the square table, who scooted aside to let them through. With quick, coordinated motions, they removed the white tablecloth, revealing the table's unpolished teakwood surface underneath. The cloth was quickly bundled away, and then they began sliding the dishes toward the guests. Fodessa and Quong shifted to one side, toward Windrunner, to let the lion through. Each huge dish floated on a small antigrav device, and he carefully pushed one onto the table in front of Fodessa. Leaning forward, with a single massive paw he grasped the knob on the cover and removed it, revealing the contents. For a moment, all Fodessa registered was a plump, shaven rump, black paw pads, the root of a thick tail as bushy as her own curving away. Then the grinning lion put a paw on the plate and slowly gave it a one-quarter turn, and she got her perspective: the furless rump belonged to a magnificent male snow leopard. He was naked, clad only in his gorgeous spotted ashy fur and in the harness that restrained him. His flanks heaved with his heavy breathing. He was well-muscled, but not beefy like the lion - more like Caitlin or Windrunner. His arms were folded behind his back, bound with silvery faux-leather cuffs. Another silver strap, broader, cinched tightly around his waist, while still others gripped his thighs just below those plump buttocks, seeming to squeeze them out like sausages. Silver-plated chains connected the thigh and waist straps. They were cinched up tight, forcing him to remain with his knees drawn up under him and his ass high in the air. His tail was restrained over his back by a little strap that was chained to his collar. His jaws were stretched wide and plugged by a big black ball gag, held in by a silver leather muzzle and a strap around the back of his head. His large pale-blue eyes, the color of northern glaciers, were wide, excited. The lion stepped forward again and slid the dish back, so that the snow leopard's ample buttocks were again presented to her. She didn't hear Caitlin's delighted chuckle at his own "dish", a bound lioness female, or Katie's gasp; she barely registered Panchiti's exclamation of delight at the naked male gazelle he had gotten. Instead, she stared at that deliciously round, plump exposed ass. Every inch of the thick fur had been shaven off, even between the cheeks, as meticulously as her own slaves were shaved. There wasn't a single mark on that smooth pink skin. It all awaited her work. His thighs were straddled widely, indecently. Between them, his heavy balls hung, also shaven, and so red and swollen it was obvious he was teased constantly and seldom satisfied. Between his calves, an elegant silvery paddle had been placed on the dish -- the synth-hide kind, rigid almost throughout its length. She reached forward with both paws to spread those pink hemispheres wide, and there between them was the puckered delicate slit of the anus, quivering under her inspection. With a feline's careless grace, she hopped up to stand on the padded bench behind the hapless snow leopard. Her paws went to his buttocks again and she groped them, pressed them, squeezed and kneaded them, delighting in the rubbery, deliciously firm flesh. The snow leopard didn't tense, but he groaned through the gag, squirming just a bit. Those bonds had to be hellishly uncomfortable. She reached down between his thighs and groped. Sure enough, his penis was fully erect, hot, swollen, hard. She chuckled. Then she remembered Windrunner's presence, and glanced over at him. He was staring at the snow leopard, then at her. Though he had carefully schooled his face to expressionless calm, the wolf was breathing almost as hard as the snow leopard, and his loincloth was straining to hold his swollen penis -- she could swear there was a little damp spot on it. "Watch me and this slut," she commanded him. "Don't take your eyes off us - and don't you dare touch yourself." The iron calm broke, and she saw the helpless, aroused hunger in his eyes. She grinned broadly, openly into his face. Quong and Dosh had both retreated from the bench and now stood a few feet away, watching without drawing attention to themselves, silent and impassive -- real professionals. Caitlin was preoccupied with his lioness, his face buried in her helplessly open cunt, wet squelching noises escaping. All around, other furries stood on the benches, on the tables, or had retired to the pillows and cushions with their "desserts", laughing, moaning, grunting, purring, yelping, squealing, teasing, sucking, fucking, spanking, paddling. Some of the victims had been untied; others were still in their bonds. Attendants scurried to and fro, fetching lubricants, dildos, clips, other implements of pleasure, administering paddlings and whippings. The air reeked of sexual musk from two or three dozen species. Fodessa picked up the paddle from between his legs. She drew back her arm, picked her favorite spot - just below the midline, where the bulge of the fess was greatest - and smacked it hard with the paddle. A shock wave jiggled the entire globe, and a streak of reddened flesh appeared. She followed up with more smacks, dealing him a fierce paddling, turning his naked cheeks an angry red. The snow leopard squirmed and whimpered, his buttocks clenching, relaxing, clenching. She thought she would come from the mere sight; it was so erotic it was almost painful to see, like staring into the sun. His thick, bushy tail lashed in its restraint, jingling its chain. When she felt that she was finished, she was panting. She recovered herself and leaped neatly off the table onto the floor. The expression on Windrunner's face was priceless. "Help me undress," she commanded him. He helped her remove her clothes, folding them neatly on the bench. His loincloth looked nearly ready to burst. "Get me a strap-on, one that goes with my fur," she told the lion who had brought her the dish. "Ten inches long, maybe three inches thick. And some lube." He grinned, departed, and returned a minute later with the requested items. The massive dildo was the expensive, top-quality kind, made of black Plasflesh, with equally black faux-leather straps. A little bump over her clitoris ensured she'd get maximum sensation while using it. She had Windrunner help her with the straps; he knelt before her to finish the job. Then he turned toward the lion for the lube, but she stopped him, raising one paw. "I want to see you suck it first," she ordered him, her voice husky. He obeyed instantly, crossing his wrists behind his back, and the sight of his muzzle sliding up and down the big shaft, sucking, licking, mouthing, made her want to moan and rub herself. It was too big for him to deep-throat, but he did the best he could. A thunderous purr rose in her throat as she watched. When she was ready to move on, she rudely shoved him away and turned to the attendant to let him lube it. Then, she leaped onto the table once again and crouched down, right behind the snow leopard's proffered, nude globes. She guided the dildo between his cheeks with one paw as she spread them with the other, and there was the sudden, delicious electric shock of the bump pressing on her clitoris as the head nudged his little asshole. After that first moment had passed, she pressed harder against it, and the snow leopard groaned loudly despite his gag as the great dildo began to force that orifice wide open, stretching it excruciatingly. The next twenty minutes or so were undoubtedly humiliating and a bit painful for him. They were definitely sheer ecstasy for Fodessa, who worked herself up to a leisurely climax as she slid back and forth, thrusting into that aching little hole, until at last she could hold back no longer. She climaxed, squalling her delight as she made one last, powerful thrust and shook like a hooked fish, oblivious to the other orgying furs around her.
