Derrick had been working at the zoo for 2 months. He was under the supervision of fellow zookeeper Teri - a reasonably attractive dark-skinned woman just his age. He knew he was supposed to keep things professional, but he couldn't stop himself from looking at her from time to time, and when she noticed, he pretended to not be interested, which earned a smile from her, and they'd continue their jobs like it never happened.
One night as the zoo was closing, and all the other staff had left for the night, Derrick was about to leave too, but Teri stopped him. “I'd like to see you in my office.” she told him, and he followed her.
Derrick was worried - Teri had never asked him into her office before. Was he being fired? He'd done everything right. Sure he'd made some mistakes, but nothing worth being fired over, right?
As they entered her office, Teri closed the door behind them, and locked it. “I'm really in for it now,” Derrick thought to himself with a worried look “and the worst part is, I don't even know what for!”
She closed the windows, and turned on the lights. She looked at him, and smiled. “Derrick, we've known eachother for 2 months.” she told him “I've noticed you keep starring at me.” “I'm sorry.” he told her. “It's fine.” she replied, smiling “Do you find me attractive? I know you do - your scent gives you away!” “My scent?” Derrick asked, a bit perplexed. “Yes.” she replied seductively “My ancestral tribe in Africa was very close to animals, and those animals' spirits, we believed, live in all of us. I've learned to tap into that part of me. Its why I work so well with the animals.” with that, her ears reshaped into feline ears on top of her head, and she grew a long tail with a tuft of hair on the end that matched the hair on her head. “You like what you see?” she asked with a playful smile “There's no use denying it - I can smell your attraction. When you came here, I hired you, because I knew you'd make the purrrrfect mate for me. I chose to pace it, because I know humans aren't as quick to select as animals are. I like you, and I want to have your cubs. Its okay - no one has to know. I'm more than a woman, and more than a lioness - I'm every female animal there is, and I want you so bad! Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. I can awaken the animals in you too - consider this a sneak-peak! I'll give you some time to think about it.”
Derrick went home that night - he couldn't get Teri off his mind.
