Cheetara and Lion-O: First Time Untold Chronicles Cheetara and Lion-O: First Time By Knight Writer Author's Chapter Notes: This occurs when Lion-O first rescues Sho from the Lunattaks. Takes place within One Last War to Fight. "I... I've never done this before," Lion-O said as the door to Cheetara's quarters in the Tower of Omens slid shut behind them. His heart thundered at the thought of what was to happen, his breathing short and quick. Anticipation tingled over every inch of his skin as she sauntered up to him. For the first time, he let his eyes feast openly on her curves. The swell of her breasts beneath the leotard he wanted to rip from her. The gentle lines of her hips... "Trust me," she said in reply, "it'll come naturally." She embraced him, drinking in his warmth as her hands slowly mapped the massive muscles of his back. The fear of losing him was gone, Sho having thankfully snapped out of Alluro's mind control before he could attack and likely kill the ThunderCats who had accompanied Lion-O on their rescue mission. Cheetara briefly thought of what Bengali and Pumyra were likely up to before her lips sealed onto his. They parted reluctantly before her hands traced over his shoulders to the clasps of his tunic. They parted with a clear snap and she stepped back to allow it to fall. "Moons of Thundera," she gasped. For the first time, she let those words free. She could read the nervousness on his face, warring with desire. This time, she would lead. Despite her tough and capable exterior, she preferred a man who could take charge, let her escape the image of a battle- hardened warrior. But, he wasn't ready for that just yet. Cougrix had been much the same way way back when. She reached out to his chest, carressing the rock-hard pectorals, then his abdomen. His hands slowly traced up her arms, trembling only slightly as they reached the straps of her leotard where they paused. "It's okay," she said with a throaty giggle, "one thing to remember is that clothes tend to get in the way." "Right," he said, "I knew that..." She cut off his words by way of planting a kiss on his chest, the first of several she rained down upon his torso. She felt her top begin to slide off of her shoulders, the breast supports in the front falling away from her nipples which the cool air made positively tingle. Cheetara once more stepped back from him as the top half of her leotard fell to her waist. His eyes on her breasts were a near physical presence and made her wish that his hands would take over. She was not dissappointed. They're so... soft! Lion-O thought while his hands inexpertly explored her chest. Firm, too, and so warm! He felt her stiff nipples beneath his palms and wondered how they'd taste. New thoughts and ideas were rushing into his mind in the manner of a flood, washing away at his trepidation. Each time he'd snuck a look at her replayed in his memory, each imagined touch of her incredible curves, and the wonder of what other parts of her must feel like. All of those, here in the heat of the moment, were mere boyish fantasies compared to the real thing. He recalled Tygra's limited advice on this very thing - Has he ever done this? he thought - and tried his damnedest not to rush ahead, to plow into her. She was ready, and oh so willing, but he would not let himself... go to town, so to speak. With tentative motions, he eased his thumbs and forefingers to her nipples. The gasp which sounded from her encouraged him, emboldened him slightly. "I guess I'm doing this right," he said, more a question than a statement of fact. "When a woman makes that sound," Cheetara began, her breathing becoming a trifle hoarse, "you are indeed doing it right." She smiled at him, then, and he took it as invitation for another kiss. "Don't be nervous," she said afterward. "I don't want to rush this." Not a large lie, a goodly chunk of him wanted to throw her onto the bed and experience her in all her glory. "Do I detect the distinct aroma of bovine fecal matter?" "Huh?" "Bullshit," she said with another smile which became a pleasureful clenching of teeth due to his gentle attention to her nipples. "Am I that transparent?" The banter was calming his nerves, bolstering his confidence. She's talking like that for my sake, he realized. Such banter had never passed her lips. At least, so far as he knew. His grin mischevious, he leaned forward to replace his left hand with his mouth. He felt a shiver pass through her as he sucked in her nipple, careful to avoid scraping the sensitive flesh with his teeth as his other hand continued as before. Cheetara felt the delicious heat slowly building in her core. She knew about the times he'd looked at her - At least he never tried to peek when I bathed in a lake, she thought - and at times had wondered precisely what fantasies had played in his head. Very likely, they had been typical boyish dreams of the me king, you subject variety. Or, so she'd thought. This night was about far more than finally being able to love him the way she'd wanted to ever since he'd passed her Annointment Trial, about more than finally having someone again in her life to see her softer and more intimate side. This was a vital step in his maturation, another step to him becoming a man in mind and heart that he already was in body... Even her musings were coming in groans of delight as his mouth and hand switched duties. She wanted him to never stop, to cover every inch of her with his wonderful kisses, yet she knew she had to guide him this time. She let him nuzzle her breast a few moments longer before grasping each side of his face and pulling him up for another kiss. "Why don't we take things a little further?" she asked. "What do you have in mind?" In response, she ducked down and trailed her tongue along the valleys of his abdominal muscles. The taste of him, so manly it nearly hurt, drove her further to the very top of his brief pants. It was something she'd imagined doing with him, something so intimate and visceral. She pushed him backward gently so his back fell onto his bed, his legs hanging off of the soft mattress. She looked up at him as she continued her delightful work. He was so ready, she noticed. I wonder why he hasn't ripped this thing yet, she thought as his bulge stretched the material to near-bursting. She eased this final barrier down, and his length emerged. She was briefly reminded of a flag pole and had to stifle a laugh. "Let me get comfortable first," she said. Cheetara stood before first removing her boots and then pushing the leotard down as slowly as she could. Naked, they faced one another and the honey flowing down her thighs was warm and redolent with her distinct fragrance. She felt her nether regions aching for what she saw, and told them not yet. Soon, but not yet. She eased onto the bed perpendicular to him, eyes locked on his throbbing manhood. Feeling more than a touch frisky, she slowly eased two fingers into herself teasing both him and herself and her honey began to coat her palm. Cheetara removed her digits with a soft sigh, already feeling him inside her. Her hand slowly encircled him, and Lion-O only kept himself through a supreme effort of will. Her loosely-gripping hand eased up and down in the same manner his own had some nights when thinking of her. Has she done the same while thinking of me? he wondered, and that thought was blasted clear out of his head as her hand continued its motions. His hips bucked in time to her and strange noises escaped his throat. This... this was ENTIRELY different from the times he'd done it himself! The slick friction caused by her wet palm excited him further (I can't believe she did that!), and delaying his release demanded all of his willpower. Virtually the only useful thing Tygra had told him about the act itself was to make it last as long as he could. Given what Cheetara was doing down there, he doubted he could make it last long at all. That thought galvanized him. He WOULD ensure her pleasure, the other thing Tygra had told him about sex. Lion-O almost wished he'd gone to Panthro for such advice, or perhaps Lynx-O. He very nearly asked her about how she did such things when she lightly kissed the tip of his manhood. The power of speech, at that precise moment, jauntily flipped him the bird before running away while laughing like a madman. A long, low moan passed his lips in place of the question, in place of the very thought as her lips slowly descended upon him. By Jaga, YES! she crowed as she filled her mouth with him. The taste of him and herself, the scent of his musk, awakened her in ways only Cougrix had before, and washed the memory into the rear of her thoughts as her own desire mounted to unprecedented heights.

  • Curse of Sekh by Clare Chapter 3 Cheetara and Tygra Wasted No Time in Getting Back to Cats' Lair After Hearing the Unicorn Keep
    Curse of Sekh By Clare Chapter 3 Cheetara and Tygra wasted no time in getting back to Cats' Lair after hearing the Unicorn Keepers' story. The moment the two Thundercats were safely inside their fortress, Tygra switched on the telescreens so they would have more chance of spotting an enemy before it could attack. Not that this was a foolproof security system - Mumm-Ra had been known to trick his way in by using his ability to disguise himself - but it had often provided the Thundercats with early warnings of attack. Next, with the screen showing no signs of movement on the plains outside (although how long that would last with what Mumm-Ra and the Mutants were planning was anybody's guess) he switched on the transmittor and prepared to contact the other Thundercats. "Have you managed to warn everyone?" he asked, even though he did not doubt his fellows for a moment. Even so, it was a relief to him when Panthro's voice came through via the communicator installed on the Thundertank, assuring him that he and Wilykat had and were already on their way back to Cats' Lair. "Message acknowledged, Panthro," Tygra replied. "Lion-O has your group fulfilled its part of the mission?" "Affirmitive, Tygra," Lion-O's voice replied. "The Tuskas and the Snowmen say they'll be watching out for any signs of trouble. I only hope it'll be enough to deal with whatever Mumm- Ra's planning," he added as an afterthought. Tygra paused when he heard the young Lord's words; what Lion-O had said was exactly what he, Tygra, was thinking.

At that moment, Sho entered the dining area of the Tower of Omens and made a bee-line to the plate that Snarf had left for him. "Well, there's one," Panthro chuckled as he took a sip. "Pretty much on time, too. Not bad for a human. Looks like he's getting used to it." They turned away as the young man devoured his small breakfast in record time and attacked the cup of coffee. "I'll be outside," Sho said after he finished. "Thank you for breakfast." "Don't worry about it," Snarf said as he collected Sho's dish. "I just wish Lion-O would get out of bed, already. His food's getting cold, Shnarrf." "And I wonder why *he's* sleeping so late," Tygra said knowingly as he finished his coffee. "You noticed, too?" "Who didn't" Tygra replied with a wink. "Took long enough, didn't it?" "Yeah," Panthro replied. "And I'm glad for it. He's grown up a lot these past weeks." "True, but I wish it were under different circumstances." "Same here." Panthro said as he drained his cup. "But, who knows how long this would have taken otherwise?" "Cheetara sure seemed eager," Tygra began, "and Lion-O looked ready to learn. I'd be surprised it they woke up by noon." Bengali and Pumyra entered then, hands joined and identical smiles on their faces.

  • Asiatic Cheetah
    Cheetah 1 Cheetah Cheetah[1] Temporal range: Late Pliocene to Recent Conservation status [2] Vulnerable (IUCN 3.1) Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Genus: Acinonyx Species: A. jubatus Binomial name Acinonyx jubatus (Schreber, 1775) Type species Acinonyx venator Brookes, 1828 (= Felis jubata, Schreber, 1775) by monotypy Subspecies See text. Cheetah 2 The range of the cheetah The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large-sized feline (family Felidae) inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. The cheetah is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, most notable for modifications in the species' paws. As such, it is the only felid with non-retractable claws and pads that, by their scope, disallow gripping (therefore cheetahs cannot climb vertical trees, although they are generally capable of reaching easily accessible branches). The cheetah, however, achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal—between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph)[3] [4] in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.[5] Etymology The word "cheetah" is derived from the Sanskrit word citrakāyaḥ, meaning "variegated", via the Hindi चीता cītā.[6] Genetics and classification The genus name, Acinonyx, means "no-move-claw" in Greek, while the species name, jubatus, means "maned" in Latin, a reference to the mane found in cheetah cubs. The cheetah has unusually low genetic variability. This is accompanied by a very low sperm count, motility, and deformed flagella.[7] Skin grafts between unrelated cheetahs illustrate the former point in that there is no rejection of the donor skin.

  • THE ROLE of RACE and ETHNCITY in FANDOM a Thesis By
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&amp;M Repository NERDS OF COLOR ASSEMBLE: THE ROLE OF RACE AND ETHNCITY IN FANDOM A Thesis by SIMON SEBASTIAH WILLIAMS Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Approved by: Co-chairs of Committee, Sarah Gatson Joseph Jewell Committee Member, Corliss Outley Head of Department, Jane Sell December 2012 Major Subject: Sociology Copyright 2012 Simon Sebastiah Williams ABSTRACT With shows such as Big Bang Theory and the increased mainstreaming of San Diego Comic-con, now more than ever before, it is acceptable to be a “nerd”. The question now becomes what efforts are being made to appeal to fans of color in traditional “nerd” activities, specifically comic books (this can include television shows and movies based on comic book characters), anime, and science fiction. Throughout the decades, there have been various attempts to have a discourse about the lack of diversity in nerd culture, both among its creators and characters from various properties considered beloved to nerds. Only, at the time of this writing, in recent years does there seem to be an increase among fans of color discussing these issues in the world at large, and not just in their own social group(s). This research will discover how minority fans feel about representation, or lack thereof, in the three above fandom. It will examine how minority fans feel about specific instants involving race and ethnicity in fandom from the past year.

  • Disclaimer: Thundercats and All Related Character Don't Belong to Me
    Disclaimer: Thundercats and all related character don't belong to me. Note: This story takes place in an Alternate Universe set immediately after the end of 'The Return' miniseries published by Wildstorm comics. Embracing Dark Desires. By Dr Facer Chapter 6 Deep in the bowels of the Black Pyramid existed a room, a large, circular arena, where Mumm- Ra had often held sick and twisted games for his own amusement; games like offering a few slaves their freedom if they survived a fight with ferocious, demonic beasts he had previously summoned from the underworld. Obviously the feline pests had no chance of winning, but the mummy found it entetaining to watch as the Thunderian garbage was maimed and then eaten by his pets. But at this time no slave was being gored to death. Instead, a lone young Thunderian stood in the centre of the hall, panting as dark energy coursed through his body. This young man was none other than WilyKat, former Thundercat and now Mumm-Ra's apprentice by choice. Around him the burnt corpses of eight of his evil master's demonic creatures could be seen, and Kat was taking great pleasure in knowing that he was responsible of blasting all those creatures into a charred mess. "Well done, my boy! You are learning quickly," the mage praised, looking at the boy with a strange, pleased grin. "Do you like this power?" WilyKat took a deep breath as he savoured the taste of power he had felt only once before, when he almost killed that miserable Slithe all those years ago.

  • Thundercats Bio-Booster Armor Guyver One Last War to Fight Episode Seventeen: Recovery by Knight Writer Tygra Blew a Sigh Of
    ThunderCats Bio-Booster Armor Guyver One Last War to Fight Episode Seventeen: Recovery By Knight Writer ---------------------------------------------------------- Tygra blew a sigh of great relief at the sight of the ThunderTank rumbling toward the Tower of Omens with all three ThunderCats aboard. Stacked on the trailer behind were several wildebeest and deer carcasses which needed dressing and butchering. A haul like that would ensure that they would have food well into yet another of Third Earth's long winters. In the desert in which the Tower had been built, the temperatures would not reach the extreme lows the grasslands in which Cat's Lair had stood, but game animals would be scarce in the lands which were in range of their vehicles. In a desperate attempt, Panthro had even suggested using the Feliner to hunt the unknown regions of Third Earth near the planet's equator for game despite the spacecraft's horrendous usage of Thundrillium while in planetary atmosphere. Regardless, Tygra thought, Cheetara's been busy to bag that many kills. She'd been serious about playing catch-up. Tygra idly wondered if WlyKit had managed to bring down any kills of her own. Likely not, he mused. The first hunt for a female often went scarcely rewarded for the young's tendency to smash through the vegetation in pursuit of meat which was used to being prey and wanted to live just a little longer. Though Tygra hated the thought of having to kill to eat, he knew it was a necessity. Another thing goes right, yet something else goes wrong, Tygra thought as he recalled Sho resting in the infirmary next to Lion-O.

PUB DATE Apr 92 Meeting of the NOTE 29p.; Paper presented at the Annual American Educational ResearchAssociation (San Francisco, CA, April 20-24,1992). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Reports - Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Audiences; Communication Research;Discourse Analysis; Interpersonal Relationship;*Males; Mass Media Role; Media Research; Sex Role;*Sexual Identity; *Social Influences; *Television;Television Viewing IDENTIFIERS Small Group Communication ABSTRACT Drawn from a much more extensive researchproject about children and television, thisstady examined the social processes through which themeanings of television are established and negotiated. A series of small groupinterviews with boyr aged between 8 and 12 years were conducted.Two series of interviews focused on the cartoon television series"Thundercats," which has provoked adult criticism for its allegedviolence and sexism. Results indicated that the program was perceived asstrongly gendered by the children, and this led to genderedpositions and discourses, yet these positions and discourses did notderive primarily from television, nor was television's rolewithin them straightforward. Another interview was conducted with twoeight-year-old working-class boys about the domestic viewing context.Results indicated that the boys were constantly putting themselvesat risk--primarily of humiliation or ridicule by each other--andthen rapidly withdrawing. An interview with three 12-year-oldmiddle-class boys concerned their liked and disliked characters ontelevision. Results indicated that there was a remarkable absence of"drooling" among the boys for the female characters. For boys of this age,the discussion of sexuality may hold mcre dangers thanpleasures, in that their own power and security are so uncertain.
