Critical success: she not only accepts, but is eager to know you! Shipwrecked With Giant Anthros chapter 10 by Calvitonks

For a couple of seconds, nothing; then, a pleased, toothy grin appears upon the lioness's face, all the while she begins to speak with a matching tone parallel to her bringing her face slowly near you:

“My, my, who knew that inside such a tiny body could there be a Lion’s heart and soul: such bravery, such determination, such a confident belief in one’s worth no matter the terrible odds you were facing; you have successfully impressed me, human. Would you like to have a proper chat between us, as potential partners?

When she finishes her new speech, she brings an open palm near you, indirectly asking you if you would be willing to hop on it: there is no longer that dominant atmosphere, that desire to utterly demand your submission underneath her; your actions seem to have been far more successful than you ever considered possible, but you are not one to waste such an unexpected opportunity. You reply, in a happy tone:

“Sure, I would appreciate that…thanks for being now eager to let me have a proper place instead of, you know, forcing me to mate with you…”

“You’re welcomed, my new unexpectedly brave yet tiny companion; I offer my sincere apologies for my previous actions, I never expected a human could have such a character worthy of the greatest of Lions, worthy of a true Lion King!” is the lioness excited reply; she now seems eager to get to chat with you, the complete opposite of her previous stance as just her breeder/sex slave that she was going to make use off to impregnate herself for the sake of her own desire to claim a Queendom.

You can only blush as she now showers you with such strong compliments; how the hell did you manage to completely woo a massive, haughty lioness into admiring you, where before she only saw you as a tool! Were you always this charismatic when dealing with women? You currently lack the means to properly ponder the matter, so you decide the next best thing is to hop on the open palm offered, and finally have the much-needed chat with this giantess.

Once you are on, she raises her hand slowly and gently, making sure not to provoke any discomfort as she now lies on her bed on her back; then, she gently drops you so that your back is supported by her large breasts as a means of a backrest. Once it becomes clear that you're comfy in your new spot, she speaks again, saying:

“Now, first things first, what’s your name, human? As for me, my name is Takiyah, meaning “pious or righteous” in the tongue of my people, a fitting name for one that was the rightful Queen of this land.”

“Well, I am Samual, don’t know if it has any special meaning. Now, you have already mentioned this, but just to clarify, you are a queen no longer, right? Why? And more importantly, why would it be necessary for me to impregnate you to allow you to claim back the title of Queen?” you reply in a happy if curious tone: right now the lioness that you now know is named Takiyah is willing to speak as equals, so you need to take advantage of it just in case she changes her mind.

“Going straight for our main business? Good, smart, wise: after all, thus far I have yet to provide solid evidence that I will not change my current predisposition towards you, considering my prior intentions; I always liked that trait in potential mates.” She comments in a pleased tone, once again complimenting your decisions before she decides to answer your questions, saying:

“Now, answering each of your questions: yes, I am no longer a Queen, because I was overthrown in a most cowardly and treacherous manner, taking advantage that I had yet to give birth to an heir with my first mate to make a bid for my throne with false achievements and honors that earned her the support of key subjects, all the while her allies ambushed and slew my King before blaming the incident to me on trumped charges; I was by far the better huntress and warrior, yet my lack of a heir made me unworthy to keep ruling in the eyes of many that were meant to be my eternally loyal servants. That’s a lesson I took to heart, thus why I was so determined to mate with you the moment I found you, for you would provide me with the one thing I need to be able to reclaim what was taken from me. With all that said, what do you think?”

You take a few moments to think things through before you decide to answer directly:

“I see, thanks for the explanation: honestly, your story is compelling, but right now the only source to verify the actual truth behind it is yourself, with nothing preventing you from having woven a convenient narrative in your favor; regardless of that, now the motivation behind your actions is pretty much clarified, so if nothing else, I am willing to stay by your side for the time being.”

“You openly admitted that you consider that I am perhaps lying, and yet you are still willing to remain with me? Why? I am curious.” Takiyah asks, then, genuinely intrigued as to the reasons behind your actions.

“Well, a combination of factors: your story is plausible, and all your actions have been consistent with the behavior of a proud, confident leader, one that would never see a need to cheat or lie to get what you want since you are certain you can take directly by your own incredible skills; not to mention that you are incredible beautiful, so a part of me is actually incredible eager to make you feel good during sex ever since I saw you.” You reply again in an earnest manner, blushing as you admit that one key reason is that you have been feeling horny for her body from the moment you gazed upon her.

She makes a pleased grin when hearing this, leading her to speak again, saying:

“Well, I am yet again glad to have found such an earnest potential partner, so capable of identifying my best qualities in such a short time; now, as before we can go straight towards our first mating session or “sex” as you called it right now, for I have not abandoned my dream of reclaiming what is rightfully mine, just that I am now willing to take my time with my new potential mate. Now, are you willing to do it, or perhaps at another time? I shall respect whatever you choose to do."

Well, the situation has drastically improved compared to what it was like just a couple of minutes ago, so perhaps you are now willing to give it a go? Or perhaps this is still too soon?
