Victoria actually thought it would be very exciting to feed the tigers, but she needed to ask Edward first if it would be alright for both of them to be in there. Edward and Victoria had collaborated on a research project about the tigers of Kenya a few years before. Although they never got to work in the same room with each other, they did talk on the phone and share hundreds of emails while they had finished that project together.
They continued to cut up the meat and Victoria couldn’t help but think the moment was erotic. They each grabbed a big hunk of meat and then used their extremely sharp knives to cut it while looking up and into each other’s eyes. She was pretty sure there was some sort of fetish that would enjoy what she and Drake were doing at that moment.
“I’ll come with you if Edward says it’s alright.”
Victoria looked at Drake without even a drop of fear on her face. It surprised him. Especially because he was certainly afraid of getting into that cage with any of those tigers. It was a little scary that Victoria was so confident and unafraid.
“So, you’re perfectly fine with getting into a cage with man-eating tigers?” Drake said with a little chuckle.
“Yep, I’m comfortable with the idea.”
“You’re crazy.”
“I know. I feel like that sometimes too.”
“Alright, well let’s get Edward and do this. I’m excited to get eaten alive with you,” Drake joked.
They finished the last pile of meat and took off their protective gear and washed their hands. It was exciting to think that they were about to be literally right on the edge of death. Drake felt his chest beat with excitement and he watched Victoria in hopes of seeing some sort of fear in her eyes. He was disappointed that she didn’t seem to be afraid at all.
“Nothing about this scare you?” Drake asked her.
“I have researched tigers a lot. I feel confident in my ability to feed them without being eaten. I mean as long as you behave yourself.”
Victoria smiled at Drake and then wrapped her arms around him to kiss him. If it was their last few minutes on earth, she didn’t want them to be spent apart. Even though she was very confident in her skills, there was a tiny part of her that was worried about actually going into the tiger’s cage.
“You two love birds ready to do this?” Edward said when he entered the room.
“Edward, I’m all for a little excitement, but I really don’t want to die. This is safe, right?”
“No, it’s not safe. You’re going into a tiger’s cage with fifty pounds of raw meat. Come on, man, this is some dangerous shit.”
They all laughed and then Edward got serious.
“The two things I want you to remember are to maintain eye contact and don’t tease them.”
“Of course, I won’t tease them,” Drake said.
“As soon as you get the meat in your hand I want you to toss it to the other side of the cage. If you stand there holding it for too long, you’re likely to get your hand eaten and maybe the rest of you, too.”
“Edward, are you alright with me coming in with him?” Victoria asked.
Drake was impressed. He had been joking that Victoria should come in there with him, but he really liked that she wasn’t shying away from the idea. Her willingness to get into the tiger cage with him showed just how much strength she had. It was a metaphor for life too. In life, there would be difficult events and Drake wanted a woman that would be willing to stand by his side during those events.
“Sure, she can hold the meat container. But if you notice at all that Rory is getting too close to you guys, simply press this button and his outside cage will open. I’m going to put a large piece of meat out there so he’ll want to go for that over you guys if the situation gets out of control.”
“Or he’ll eat us first and then go out there for the rest of the meat,” Victoria said with a bit of sarcasm.
Neither Edward nor Drake seemed amused by her humor.
The three of them walked back down the hallway in silence as they approached the door to Rory’s cage. He was out near the front of his cage waiting to go outside, but must have smelled the meat when they got near. With his long stride, he made his way right up next to cage door and stood there waiting for them to enter.
Both Victoria and Drake froze and were unable to move. There was a small entrance area with a caged spot for them to enter the room, but then the tiger was right there. Really, even once they were inside the first door, Rory could swipe at them with his claws if he really wanted to. The caged area only served as a spot to slow the tiger down so he couldn’t escape easily out the door.
“Let me go around the front and put the large meat outside really quick,” Edward said.
Drake and Victoria just stood at the window in silence as they watched the tiger pace in front of them. He looked hungry, really hungry and Victoria couldn’t help but think the tiger was going to want to eat them more than the meat they had cut up.
“Do you think we look better than this meat? I mean to a tiger?” Victoria asked.
“You look delicious. I’d eat you over that meat in a second,” Drake joked as he pulled Victoria toward him.
Finally, she looked like she was at least a little afraid. He didn’t want her to be afraid, it wasn’t about that. But he didn’t like that she had been so stoic while he had been petrified. Her fear made it easier for Drake to show how manly he was. He suddenly felt much more confident about their interaction with the tiger.
“Ok, you two. Now remember. Slow, steady movements. I’ll come into the first caged area and let you into the main cage. This should only take a minute or so. Just start throwing the meat to the other side of the room, slowly and at the same pace so he isn’t startled.”
“What if he’s startled,” Drake asked.
“Let’s just try to avoid that.”
“Do you have a gun or something? Anything to protect us with?” Victoria asked as the fear of the moment finally set in.
“No, trust me. If he wants to kill you. It will be over with before I can shoot him.”
Victoria and Drake held onto each other as they entered the first small cage area behind Edward. The intensity of the situation was crazy.
Chapter 6
Once they were all in the entrance to Rory’s cage, it became apparent that this fun little adventure was actually extremely dangerous. The idea of danger had been there before, but as they stood only a few feet away from the tiger, both Victoria and Drake started to second guess what they were about to do.
“Can’t we just throw the meat from here?” Victoria asked.
“No, he will become more hostile if he thinks you are keeping it from him. We really aren’t safe here at all. He could just swipe his claws through these bars and kill us all.”
“That is not reassuring,” Victoria added.
“He’s a good boy. Rory’s been here for many years. As long as you do exactly as I told you, there won’t be any problems. He’s come to expect his food this way and he will likely just stay on the other side of the cage and wait for you to throw the meat.”
Edward seemed confident and his confidence rubbed off on Drake. These were the types of situations that Drake loved, when he got to stand up and do things that scared others. Drake took a couple of deep breaths and then he was ready to enter the cage with the tiger.
“Alright, should I open the door?” Drake asked.
“Yes, go ahead and move in slowly. Let Victoria hold the meat bucket and start by throwing a piece right away as you enter the cage,” Edward said.
Edward held the cage door open and Drake walked in first, Victoria held the meat bucket and stood right behind him. Drake did as he was told and grabbed a big piece of the meat and instantly threw it across the room.
Rory, the tiger, ate the meat so quickly that neither Victoria nor Drake were ready when he turned right around and faced them again. They both stood there frozen for a second before they realized they had to grab another piece and thro
w it.
Luckily, Drake was less frozen than Victoria and he threw piece after piece across the room with only a few seconds in between each of them. Victoria stood still, holding onto the bucket and trying her best not to pass out. Her breathing had almost stopped as she held her breath between each throw of the meat.
“Do you want to throw a piece?” Drake asked her.
Victoria shook her head yes and reached into the bucket to grab a piece of meat. Unfortunately, they did not communicate well and Victoria thought Drake was going to throw one more piece before it was her turn.
She stood there with the piece of meat in her hand as Rory, the tiger, turned around and faced them. The tiger waited for them to throw another piece of meat. At first, he waited patiently, but that only lasted about fifteen seconds. Then Rory took a step toward Victoria and Drake.
“Throw it,” Drake said calmly.
But Victoria was stunned into frozen silence and couldn’t move. She stood there with the meat in her hands and just stared at the tiger as he took another step closer. Her whole body felt out of control and Victoria couldn’t help but feel like she was going to pass out. She could hear her own pulse as it pumped in her head. There was nothing she could do to stop the pounding and she certainly couldn’t move at all.
Drake took control of the situation and quickly threw another piece of meat across the room. Then he gently placed his hand around Victoria’s and helped her throw her piece of meat to the other side of the room.
Drake kept his hand wrapped around Victoria’s and reached into the bucket to grab the final couple of pieces of meat and they threw them together. When they had finished, Edward opened up the gate and Drake gently pushed Victoria into the holding area and then they all moved out of the cage together.
Victoria was pale as a ghost and really didn’t look well at all. Her breathing was labored and Drake was afraid that she was going to pass out. He had seen that look on a person before and it was much better to get them to a place so they could sit down than to have to try and catch them when they fell.
“Can she sit down somewhere?” Drake asked.
“Yes, I’ll grab a chair and some ice water.”
Victoria continued to watch Rory from the window in silence. She seemed captivated by him and Drake didn’t want to interrupt that, at least not yet. He watched her as she stared at the tiger and he couldn’t help but smile at the fact that she did indeed get scared.
“Here you go,” Edward said as he brought the chair and ice water.
“Thank you,” Drake said.
He settled Victoria into the seat and handed her the ice water to sip on. Her skin tone seemed to come back after a couple minutes.
“Wow, that was much scarier than I thought it would be,” she said.
“I’m glad we didn’t get eaten. I think that has to be the most dangerous date anyone has ever invited me on.”
“Did you have fun?” Victoria said as a smile flashed across her face.
“Yes, this was crazy. Thanks for planning it.”
They finished the tour of behind the scenes with the tigers and then Drake and Victoria decided to walk around the zoo and see what else was there. Neither of them had ever been to the zoo and since it was rated one of the best in the world, they figured it deserved a little of their time.
The walk was a great way to help calm their nerves and get to know each other better. Victoria felt like she still had so many questions for Drake. Of course, she didn’t want to seem pushy or like she wanted to know too much information, though, so she tried to keep her questions light-hearted and not super personal.
“How long have you and Samantha worked together?” Victoria asked.
“She’s been with me almost since the beginning. Maybe around five years.”
“I like her. She seems to really have your best interests at heart.”
“Thanks. I like her too. She’s the only assistant that ever turned me down for sex. I knew I needed to keep her when that happened.”
Victoria laughed and Drake was relieved that he hadn’t offended her. Typically, the women he dated got very uncomfortable around Samantha. Probably because she was such a beautiful woman, it was hard for people to believe that Drake and she were not sleeping together.
“Do you think you’ll find the woman you are looking for?”
It was a tough question and Victoria didn’t mean it in any way to trap Drake into saying he wanted to pick her. She genuinely wanted to know if Drake felt like he had a group of women that he could find a match from.
“I think I will,” Drake smiled and grabbed Victoria’s hand. “I’ve never been surrounded by such amazing women before. I’d be a chump if I wasn’t able to settle down with one of you.”
Victoria and Drake continued their walk and got to know each other for most of the afternoon.

“By far the best date I’ve ever been on,” Drake said as they walked back to the car.
It was six o’clock in the evening and time to make their way back to the house. Victoria felt bad that they had spent so much time away from the house and she also felt like she hadn’t had enough time with him yet. She knew they had dinner planned with all the girls and didn’t think there would be much time after that for her to actually have alone time with him before midnight.
It sucked to only get twenty-four hours with Drake. Victoria wanted more. She wanted all of the other girls to just go home and she could spend the whole week getting to know him. There was an undeniable connection between the two of them and it was more than just a physical connection. Victoria felt the mental connection and she hated that just as she finally found a connection with a man, she had to give him up to another woman.
“Can we make a quick stop?” Victoria asked on the drive home.
“Of course, what do you need?”
Victoria had the perfect idea to ensure she would get some more alone time with Drake. She looked up the address to a fun sex shop on the way home and guided Drake to pull in to the parking lot.
“I’ll just be a minute,” she said as she got out of the car.
“Oh, I’m coming in with you.” Drake said as he started to get out.
Victoria pushed the door closed though and wouldn’t let him out.
“Nope. I’m getting a surprise.”
“This doesn’t seem like fair playing. I should at least get to help choose the surprise. How about I come in and help just a little bit?”
“It won’t be a surprise if you help. You stay here.”
Victoria was only in the store for a couple minutes before she came out and slid back into her seat next to Drake. The smile on her face was huge and Drake couldn’t help but smile back at her when he thought about what must be in that bag.
“Let me see,” he teased as he leaned over and tried to grab the bag.
Victoria pushed it all the way next to the door so Drake couldn’t reach it. Then leaned in and met his lips with hers. The power of their connection was instant and Drake grabbed her and let his lips maneuver around hers.
The excitement of the day, maybe the adrenaline of being around the tiger. It was all too much for him and Drake needed to fuck Victoria. He didn’t want to nicely make love to her like before, no; he wanted to fuck her.
“Let’s go get a hotel room over there,” Drake said as he pointed across the street.
“Nope, we have dinner with the rest of the girls. You’ll have to wait until after dinner.”
Drake grabbed Victoria’s hand and placed it on his throbbing cock. He didn’t want to wait for dinner. He needed to feel the sweet release of her body right then. Drake wasn’t used to having to wait for anything and he certainly wasn’t used to a woman telling him no. The moment was a little difficult for him to wrap around his brain.
“You’re seriously going to let this go to waste?” Drake teased.
“Just start driving. We needed to get back before those ladies start a giant cat fight over us being lat
e.”
Drake pulled out of the parking lot and maneuvered the car to the interstate, but looked down and saw Victoria’s hand was still on his bulge. She moved it up and down his shaft and Drake could tell she was contemplating pulling his manhood out and playing with him some more. He decided to sit quietly and let her make that decision on her own.
Sure enough, about five miles down the interstate; Victoria unbuckled herself and got onto her knees. She bent over the middle of the car and let her mouth touch the side of Drake’s cheek.
“I’m going to make you cum now,” she teased him.
Drake had been with aggressive women before who took control, that wasn’t something new to him. But it was erotic coming from Victoria because she wasn’t the type of girl who normally took control like she was. Drake could tell she was way out of her comfort zone, but she still wanted to play with him.
He knew that driving and getting a blow job was not safe, but there was no way he could turn her down. It was his fantasy and although he’d had other women offer such a fun experience, never had he been willing to risk his life and accept the offer.
Drake held his eyes tight to the road and vowed not to be distracted by her lips as she slid them around his cock. Of course, that was instantly impossible when she started to move her mouth up and down him.
She took him into her mouth quickly and thrust her mouth up and down his shaft in a fast effort to make him cum. Drake suspected Victoria was nervous about giving a blowjob on the interstate and was struggling with the internal safety issue of also having her seatbelt off.
He kept his eyes on the road and let out a moan as her mouth moved faster against his bare body. Harder and harder she moved and within two minutes he felt his body gearing up to release.
“I’m going to cum,” he said as a warning.
Drake knew some women really didn’t like to swallow and he didn’t want her to be surprised when he finally released his load. But he was pleasantly surprised himself when she took him in even deeper as he prepared to cum.
