Ties That Bind -- Chapter 11
This chapter is a doozy....Chapter 11
While the good inhabitants of Cat’s Lair slept, Lion-O kept an eye on the controls. He had spent time with his family before taking his turn in the control room. After putting the cubs to bed, he and Cheetara had spent some time together. When the cheetah fell asleep, he had kissed her on the forehead and headed down to the kitchen. There he found Leanna with a bottle of something called ‘tequila’. She said she’d bought it from some humans at the Space Base and figured it would help her sleep. He had held back the desire to make a dirty comment about Panthro helping her with that and he watched her throw down some shots of the liquid. Unfortunately ‘some’ turned out to be half the bottle. The lioness seemed to handle it pretty well and Lion-O shook his head as he finished a couple cups of coffee. Now he sat at the control board with a large stomachache.
“What is wrong with me?” The Lord of the ThunderCats asked no one in particular. It wasn’t long before his stomach decided the best way to deal with the problem was to bring whatever it was back up. He rushed from the room and headed for the nearest bathroom.
On the other side of the Lair, Leanna was getting ready for bed. Regrettably, the tequila was starting to affect her and she stumbled to the dresser that held some pajamas she’d borrowed from Cheetara and Pumyra. The door to her room opened and in walked a familiar face.
“Somebody had too much to drink.” The lion said.
“That’sssss not twue.” Leanna protested, her speech slurred. Lion-O shook his head and asked,
“Why don’t I help you out of those clothes and into some pajamas?” The lioness put up no protest as the Lord of the ThunderCats helped her remove her clothes. The only problem was he had no intention of helping her put any clothes back on. Now stark naked, Leanna seemed to take notice of her surroundings and the fact that his lips were on hers. At first, her body responded by kissing him back but when it didn’t taste like Panthro, her mind screamed to stop. She pushed away from the forward lion and tried to get him to release his grip by digging her nails into his hand. Lion-O growled in pain and brought his mouth down over her shoulder and bit down. Leanna let out a roar, which caused the cats in the surrounding rooms to wake from their slumber. Knowing he’d get caught, the Lord of the ThunderCats let go of his captive and took off. The next person to enter the room was Panthro followed by Pumyra, Ben-Gali, and Cheetara. They saw Leanna naked and bleeding and the puma promised to be right back with a first aid kit.
“What happened?” The panther asked, as he was the first one to reach her side. The lioness’s response was to back away from him.
“Leanna?” As he got closer the more she backed away from him.
“You’re bleeding let me take a look, please?” The last sentence got to her and made her realize that Panthro wasn’t going to hurt her. Giving a nod, Leanna allowed the panther to get close enough to look at the deep bite mark on her shoulder. Seeing that it might require stitches, he got nervous.
“Where is Pumyra?” He asked in a worried tone.
“Right here.” The puma answered as she entered the room. Luckily the medical woman kept a first aid in her and Ben-Gali’s room. Pumyra got down next to Leanna and started to clean the bite mark.
“Who did this to you?” Panthro wanted to know. The answer that would come from the lips of lioness would shock everyone.
“Lion-O.” She replied.

Confused? Don’t worry the next chapter should clear some things up. ;)
