Everything was swept into a vacuum until there was nothing but thoughts of getting to them. Seeing them.
Touching them.
Just before I made the unconscious decision to walk into the jungle, another rustling sound drew my attention.
The hair on the back of my neck stood on end, every nerve ending on fire and suddenly, the unmistakable understanding someone was watching came over me.
While the feeling was oppressive, a rush of desire outweighed all sense of fear.

No birds.
No night creatures.
Nothing.

Waiting.
Hungering.

To peer into the glowing eyes of three giant lions.
One white. One golden with a black mane. And one that shouldn’t exist but did.
A magnificent Cape lion, blond with a deep copper mane, standing off to the side with sheer hunger in his amber eyes.

The female wasn’t anything that we’d expected. Nor was the hunger gnawing at our loins. I didn’t need either lion to share their desire with me. I could easily read their minds.
How, I had no clue.
We were different species.
