Leah moved with confident ease through the back corridors of the zoo, her hands full of a large cardboard figure used for enrichment.

“Off to see your boyfriend again, Leah?” an older zookeeper teased the intern as she walked past.

“You’re just jealous Zen loves me more than you, " Leah taunted back as she kept walking forward.

Her relationship with the large white and black Siberian tiger was well known by the staff. A sweet gentleman to her, he was a constant fiend to the other keepers who worked to keep him happy.

“I’d just be happy if Zenith tolerated me long enough to clean his habitat without having to struggle to get him into lockup.” The man scoffed as he entered another enclosure to work.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t on her way to Zen but put the latest enrichment device in Kira’s pen. The female Siberian tiger had been restless the past couple of days, and the keepers hoped a little new enrichment would help perk her up.

Leah carefully checked the protocols and found Kira resting quietly on one of the back platforms. She opened the first gate and went inside, closing it behind her, before crossing to the second gate and officially entering the enclosure.

She carefully watched the big cat's response and found her watching her with a bored, lethargic gaze. She moved close, rattling the cardboard creation, which was a kind of odd-shaped piata with treats and special scents that big cats enjoyed. It was something she could hang up and let Kira destroy and scent mark.

She knew it would make a mess when she finished, but if the big cat perked up a bit because of it, the mess didn’t matter to any of the keepers. Leah found a good spot a few feet away from Kira, and she carefully hung up the device. She was careful not to turn her back on the big cat and tempt her to attack.

Kira was an older cat, but she was newer to the zoo, and Leah was still learning her full personality. Regardless, most big cats would have the urge to pounce on a target who turned away from them. Even in the zoo, their wild instinct to hunt didn’t go away. She was careful with Zen, who adored her much less than this 500lb female.

As she was securing the piata, it slipped, and she turned to resecure it and felt a mist of water on her arm. She glanced over and wasn't surprised to see Kira had risen up and was scent-marking her posts by spraying urine on them. The big cats often sprayed and seemed to enjoy getting the keepers covered in their scent as well.

Leah sighed and submitted that she’d smell like cat pee for the rest of the day. The piata secured, she left the enclosure and set up one of the minicameras outside to watch and record Kira’s behavior with the piata. If it turned out cute or violent enough, they would probably use it on social media to help attract donors and visitors to the zoo.

The big cats were one of the biggest draws the zoo had, and their elaborate enclosures showed the cats off to their best advantages. She cleaned up and continued doing her chores. Handing out other enrichments and giving meds to some of the older cats. She was sniffed and pawed at a few times and hissed by one female tiger. But she didn’t pay much attention to them; it was all pretty normal behavior for the temperamental animals.

Her shift was getting ready to end when Ed the head manager came and found her as she was about to check out.

“Leah, sorry to bug you; the other keepers have already left. I was passing back Zen’s enclosure and noticed the big glute had knocked over his pool again, could you fill it up before you leave?” he asked with an apologetic voice. “I would, but he doesn’t like me in the slightest.”

Leah laughed at the disgruntled look on the manager's face. She nodded as she answered.

“Of course, I can run over there real quick.”

“Good, overtime approved; just get him taken care of.” Ed nodded as he glanced at the time sheet and initialized it quickly. “Even though he hates me, I adore him, and the idea of him not being able to swim tonight in this heat sounds terrible.”

Leah nodded; the weather had been experiencing an overwhelming heat wave these past few weeks and was even hot at night lately.

“No worries, I’ll run over and get it taken care of.”

"The zoo's already closed, so don’t worry about anything else. Just let the security guard know when you leave.”

“Perfect, ” she said happily as she pushed her stuff into her locker again. She watched Ed leave and then stripped off the top layer of her uniform as well until she was just in her tank top and shorts. It was too hot to wear the full gear when no customers were around to call her unprofessional.

How professional is it to sweat like a crazy person rather than dress lightly? She grumbled as she made her way down the darkened back roads to Zen’s enclosure. The big cat had a preference for quiet, so his enclosure was further in the rear of the zoo, away from the noisier residents. Especially the nighttime occupants, whom Leah could already hear waking up, though the sun had just set a few moments before she’d come outside.

As she reached the enclosure, she spotted Zen immediately resting like the elegant prince he was on his highest perch. She noticed his pool was indeed empty, and he’d managed to drag the heavy thing out of position as well.

Zen let out a deep chuff when he saw her and rose to his feet, limping down immediately to press himself against the fence, trying to reach her.

“Yes, handsome, I’ve come to see you.” Leah crooned as she opened the first gate and stepped inside the smaller space. Zen chuffed at her continually, his tail almost wagging like a dog's in pleasure as she reached out and rubbed his soft fur.

“Move your big bulk over, or I can’t come in, you goof, ” Leah teased as she opened the second door and had to push Zen with it to get the door open. Once she stepped inside, he was pressed against her body before she could react, and she grunted as the 600lb cat rubbed on he ran his thick tongue against her arm.

“Yes, yes, I love you too, ” she crooned as she spent a few minutes showering the cat with love and pets. Even in the dim light of the night setting for the enclosure, she didn’t need a flashlight to keep track of the big cat, his white coat a bright mark in the dark.

After a few minutes of attention she pushed the big cat away and moved towards the pool. She didn’t notice Zen following her closer than usual, his eyes fixed on her and his nose flaring as he took in her scent. His mouth opened, and he took a few deep breaths, scenting her as he moved, and he rubbed his head against her affectionately. She laughed and rubbed his head, and he closed his eyes in pleasure. But his body quivered as he took in the scent from her body.

The sharp pheromones of a female in heat filled his mind, and he was growing more excited the longer he spent with her. Leah didn’t notice his extra attention and just thought he was pleased with the extra visit from her. She worked to move the pool back into position while pushing Zen further away from her as she needed space.

It took her longer than she’d expected to move the heavily weighted pool back and to secure it in its old position. Zen ddn’t help by constantly rubbing on her and sticking his head into her space. He even shoved his snout between her legs, almost knocking her over. She headed to the back wall of the enclosure to grab the water hose, and Zen eagerly followed at her side, making small, intimate noises at her. She absentmindedly petted him while she tried to find the hose in the dark.

She stumbled slightly in the dark and felt herself falling and caught herself on the back wall, almost hitting her knees on the hard ground. She let out a deep grunt of pain and went to get back up when Zen pressed himself over the top of her, forcing her further onto the ground.

“Zen!” Leah exclaimed, trying to regain her position, but the tiger was vastly larger than her, and he had her pinned solidly beneath him. Trying to control her panic, she struggled to get free and soothe the big cat. She let out a deep groan as Zen pressed a heavy paw on her back, and her chest hit the ground hard enough to knock the breath from her. His large paw ripped down her clothes, tearing the material from her body in strips.

Panic started to fill her as he started to bite and tear the material away. Had the big cat gone feral, was he going to shred her next? She could feel his claws scrapping on her skin and smell the blood starting to flow. Zen’s long, sharp tongue licked her back, and she whimpered as it seemed to scrape her skin roughly.

Zen seemed encouraged by her noises and kept pawing at her and licking the exposed skin. Her blood slicked his tongue, and he let out a deep guttural roar as her scent blossomed deeper. He shoved his thick head between her legs and his tongue roughly licked at her pussy.

Leah screamed out as the big cat assaulted her and tried to squirm to get away. To her dismay, her efforts were no more successful than if she were a child fighting against a grown adult.

Unfortunately, she had realized now that he didn’t intend to kill her but had somehow decided she was in a mood to mate. She could feel him sniffing her skin and huffing his pleasure at her reception. And she whimpered, knowing that while she was ovulating, it was nothing that should have triggered a feline to mate.

In her despair, she suddenly remembered Kira’s odd behavior and her scent marking of her earlier. Was the older female tiger in heat? Her musk had caused Zen to believe she was a mate for him. She wished desperately the big cat understood words so she could read his behavior clearly. He was treating her with dominance and romance as far as a tiger was concerned. But to a human body it was torture.

She whimpered in fear as she felt the big cat moving into a mounting position and his muzzle pressed against her neck. She could feel his hot breath and his sharp teeth pressing into her skin as his hips worked to align his cock with her pussy.

She shuddered and tried desperately to push free when she remembered that cats had barbs on their penises, and while the male experienced extreme pleasure, the female experience was not pleasant. Zen growled, and his fangs dug into her shoulder as he pinned her into place. Leah cried out for help, desperately wishing that security was closer to the tiger’s enclosure. But all she could hear was the noise of the nearby enclosures growing louder with their own noises at her display.

A primal scream ripped out of her mouth as Zen found his placement and his thick cock pushed between the folds of her thighs and slid deep into her pussy. It was larger than anything she’d ever experienced, and it spread and pulled at her body as he pushed deep inside her. As his long thick cock penetrated her, she felt impaled, and Zen let out a deep contented noise as he rested fully inside her. Her pussy quivered and tightened and squeezed on the invading cock, and the big cat was almost purring with his pleasure.

She could feel a deep warm sensation growing inside, and she shuddered when she realized the tiger was spraying his seed inside her. He held her tightly in position while he came. His hips were making the barest movements as his cock filled her. It was only a few moments, and the big cat pulled out, and she screamed as the sharp barbs on his penis felt like they were tearing her open as he pulled out.

Zen let out a deep roar and backed away from her quickly as though she’d react like a tiger and attempt to attack him. Instead, she huddled on the ground soaked in blood and sweat, trembling as she felt his cum between her thighs.

Tears flowed down her cheeks and her legs refused to move as she was wracked with pain, yet for some reason her pussy trembled as though it wanted more. She sniffled and knew she had to get up and get out. Zen watched her, and when she didn’t growl at him, he quickly approached again and rubbed his large head against hers.

She wanted to cry harder when the big cat acted affectionately towards her as though the last ten minutes hadn’t happened. She started to force herself up when Zen roared and pressed against her. She staggered and went down again as the large male held her down.

She started to panic and push him hard when his deep guttural growls came out and he bit her neck and held her firmly as his body prepared to mount her again. She cried out and sobbed as his thick cock filled her a second time and she was flooded with more of his cum. The tiger's deep roars echoed in her ears, and she felt her body responding to his invasion, and her hips bucked against his cock, trying to make him move inside.

She wanted to scream at her body for responding, and the big cat growled and arched his back more, pushing even deeper inside her. She let out a deep grunt, and her hips moved with the big cat grinding on the cock inside her. Zen let out a deep roar as the pleasure filled him and he willing let her body move on his cock. This wasn’t how tigers mated, but he wanted to please her even if she wasn’t quite the right shape.

This oddly shaped tiger had always been his favorite, and he was so pleased she was finally in season and ready for him. He loved how warm and wet her pussy was and how tight it held his cock inside. She would bear him many cubs, and he would keep filling her to make sure.

Leah moaned desperately when instead of getting off her quickly the big cat responded to her body and moved his hips and thrust his cock inside her. She cried out as it plunged deeper and groaned when the barbs rubbed inside her as he pulled back to thrust again. She knew this wasn’t how big cats mated; the male was responding to her body and what it wanted.

Every moan showed Zen he was on the right track, and he continued to rut in her body, and his cum filled her. Leah felt like she was overflowing with the beast's thick seed. She imagined she could feel her womb spreading out and filling with the white fluid. Zen made a deep thrust, and Lean cried out as her body climaxed and her pussy clamped down on the cat's penis. She felt Zen roar confidently as she came on his cock, and he nuzzled her affectionately before pulling out, and she cried out as the pain sent her into another wave of climax.

As Zen walked away and buried his head in his water bucket, Leah lay limp on the ground, her body like a wet rag. She couldn’t even raise her head much less move to get out of the enclosure. Her pussy throbbed and her legs ached. She wanted to cry when Zen returned a few minutes later and once again settled on top of her. How long was this going to last? She thought desperately as the big cat thrust his cock deep inside her body again. Then she remembered, and she let out a guttural groan; big cats may mate 50 to 100 times over days.

No, no, she couldn’t be found like this. No one could know what was happening to her. She struggled to move under the big cat, and Zen responded with a deep rutting thrust that pushed her body into the ground and made her moan in pleasure. The large tiger had figured out his new mate needed something more than the female tigers he’d been with before, and he was happy to stimulate her as she liked. The movement felt good for him too, and he reveled in giving her pleasure.

A deep instinct inside him told him the more she tightened down on his cock when he was inside her, the better her chances of bearing his cub. So he rode her body over and over again until she clamped down on him and her body tensed and quivered under his attention. Only then would he let her rest for a moment to check his territory. Her screams may attract another male, and he needed to be ready to defend his mate. She didn’t fight him anymore, and he took her with ease as he returned, and she made soft mewling noises he found very pleasant when he filled her body.

Hours passed, and Zen grew tired, and he pulled off her and casually shook his greatcoat. He nuzzled her face and licked the blood from her shoulders and neck caused by his love bites. She whimpered under his attentions, and he let out deep, pleased chuffs at her. He nudged her a few times to encourage her to join him in his den, but she lay still on the ground. Letting her rest, he let out a great yawn and contently stretched his body before heading inside his den to sleep. He looked forward to continuing the mate process when he awoke. As he slept, Leah slowly moved to her feet and staggered her way out of the enclosure.

The plan to fill the pool was completely forgotten, and she sobbed as she made her way to the locker room. She stumbled into the shower stall and let the water spray down on her body as she collapsed on the ground. She cried as her body ached and she felt tiger cum seeping from between her legs. She could see the deep claw marks and bites on her skin, and she shuddered. Everyone would see; everyone would know what had happened to her.

She couldn’t go into Zen’s enclosure again. What if he attacked her again? She shivered under the water and sobbed quietly. Her body ached, and she admitted it felt thoroughly fucked. She let the water cleanse her body for a long time before she managed to get back to her feet. She wrote a resignation letter and placed it on Ed’s desk, stating a family emergency. And she changed her clothes and quickly left the zoo.

As she left, she didn’t notice the lone security officer watching her with dark eyes as the screen in front of him replayed her rape from the enclosure’s minicameras. Six different angles caught her being taken by the large cat, and he licked his lips and rubbed his dick as he watched her squirm and cum under the tiger's attention. He glanced up as her car pulled away, and he connected his phone to the cameras and downloaded the footage before calmly deleting it from the mainframe security.

Zen’s desperate roars echoed through the park as the big cat came out of his den and found his mate had disappeared. He cried out over and over again looking for her. The security guard gave a dark smile and watched the big cat pacing.

“Don’t worry Zen, I’ll bring her back for you tomorrow night to play with, ” he said in a dark voice.
