Day 53

Verde started waking up at the behest of a strong spicy scent. Moving her head just a bit to get her pinned ear to pop out, she realized that whatever she was laying on top of, it was not a pillow. She could hear breathing that was not her own and the soft drumming of a faintly familiar beat.

It took her a moment to realize that she was laying right on top of Jason. They had finally sampled each other last night. Jason was still pretty nervous, especially since she was the only partner that he had ever slept with, but while their congress was not bad, both of them fumbled and he had an especially difficult time making the mare feel the rush of an orgasem.

Not that it upset her, she was just happy that, unlike the heat before her last one, she had to literally fight him just to embrace her, speaking nothing of physical copulation. However, this was what she had been striving for since she came here to live with him, to simply sleep next to him, to feel his warmth keep her from freezing at night. It felt like she was finally accepted as his mate after so much time trying to get him just to try her out and see how it felt to him.

Verde sighed when she felt a strange sensation at her tail. A strange object, like a stick, was trying to wrap itself at her tail’s base, moving it, playing with it as if it were a fellow sleeping companion. That was, until the stick started rubbing underneath the base of the tail.

A shock ran up Verde’s spine, forged from an alloy of surprise and pleasure, the mare could not help herself as she tensed up through her entire body and released, shaking the bed and her lover.

A laugh rose up from beneath her as her eyes were fully open now. She was suddenly aware, the stick was Jason’s finger. Verde started to lick his open chest as Jason’s eyes slowly opened.

“Did you have fun at my expense?” Verde said in between laps.

“Oh, it looked like you were having fun too.” Jason replied with a grin, closing his eyes.

“Do you guys enjoy licking each other like this?” Jason asked, stroking Verde’s hips as she continued to give his chest primal kisses.

“Not all, it depends on the mare you meet.” Verde finished, lifting her head. The feel of Jason stroking her cutie mark made her shudder.

“Jason....” Verde swallowed, bearing her neck to him. Jason moved his hands from her hips to her neck and began to rub lightly, while using the hard parts of his fingers to lightly scratch. She remembered how his hands made her felt while he was recovering. He might not be much to rut, but his hands dominated her tense muscles, forcing them into a relaxed submission that few mares probably ever felt. She never expected so much attention from a herd mate, human or otherwise.

“I have today off Verde, so-” Jason was interrupted by Verde, who started nuzzling his face, pressing her snout into his cheek and exhaling. Rubbing where she could, she started to kiss Jason. Slowly but surely, if Verde felt that Jason owed her an experience in being part of a herd, he was slowly making up for it after his first few weeks of ignorance and isolation.

“So what?” Verde ended her kiss, smiling at Jason.

“So, I’m feeling better, and this is the first weekend we really had together... ”Jason said, biting his lip in a asymmetrical edge, tapping Verde’s nose with his finger.

“Well... we could make start by making breakfast...” Verde trailed off, licking her lips.

===

“Is this seriously all you ponies know how to make?” Jason playfully nudged Verde’s neck with his hips after throwing the cake pan into the oven.

“Well, it was either that or cereal AGAIN!” Verde jested back, blowing a raspberry.

Verde turned around to the ice box to see if Jason had anymore of that soda from earth that she enjoyed so much.

“At least I don’t over cook spaghetti.” Jason cackled, sharpening his voice to let her know that he was trying to play with her.

“Well, I can tell you, the noodle inciden-” Verde stopped speaking, feeling a light tug on her tail, followed by the patterning of footsteps away from her.

Turning away from the fridge, she saw Jason peering from behind the tiny wall separating the living area and the kitchen. The moment they made eye contact, he sprinted to the couch, jumping to the other side and rolling onto the floor.

“HEY! YOU DON’T HAVE A TAIL FOR ME TO PULL!” Verde yelled chasing after him. Leaping onto the couch, she could see Jason laying in wait.

“I’m going to g-HEY!” Verde yelped, her tail being tugged again. She turned around to find this time by Jason’s using his two biggest toes to yank her tail. He was obviously trying to pull just hard enough to get her attention, but light enough not to cause her any pain.

Jason started to roll away from Verde and being unable to resist, she just had to give chase. He was still close enough away that she could just leap onto him. Pushing from the couch, she landed straight on Jason’s abdomen, forcing him to convulse slightly before a huff of the air she just knocked out of him erupted from his mouth.

“No fair! I don’t jump on ponies!” cried Jason inbetween his giggles and catching his breath.

“Well you don't have a tail of I can to pull!” smiled Verde, biting his jeans and started pulling back.

Jason hadn’t expected the Earth Pony’s strength, finding himself being dragged on the floor he tried rolling until he was able to wrap his arms around her and put her on her back.

“Agh!” Verde screamed, her back facing Jason’s chest, she bucked and shook, trying to get Jason to let go, but to no avail. Then the worst thing of all happend. He started tickling her.

“Hey! Don’t!! Stop!!” Verde squealed as she bucked harder, still amazed Jason was able to keep a hold of her regardless of her strength.

“Don’t stop? Kay.” Jason taunted with a smile. He did loosen up, in order to try to give her enough room to get free so they could continue their impromptu game.

“OH WHEN I GET LOOSE I’L-” and with her next buck, the wall shook and Verde could feel something wrong with her rear legs.

“JASON, JASON STOP I'M SERIOUS!” Verde cried, worried that she hurt him or had broken something.

Jason immediately stopped, he saw what Verde could only feel. Both her rear hooves had broken the drywall, and were still in imbedded in it.

“Okay Verde, pull your hooves out slowly...” he said in a calm voice.

Listening to instructions, she carefully pulled her hooves out, coming free with ease. Jason sat Verde down on her rear and she finally saw it. Two circular holes right where Verde bucked into. And suddenly... laughter?

Verde turned around to see Jason giggling.

“Jason, I’m so sor-” Verde tried to speak before Jason grabbed her, pulling her in for a hug.

“Ha, its nothing a bit of plaster of paris can’t fix, I can order some in.” Jason was genuinely... calm.

“Jason, is there somthing wrong? You're so playful and you’re kinda letting two big holes in your wall slide...” Verde turned to look at Jason.

“Verde, when we started this entire herd thing, I wasn’t a fan. No date, no slowly getting to know you while maintaining arms length distance... just... ’hey, tomorrow, need ya to bone me’... but you helped me recover, you were there for me when I was out of comission, can’t help but be fond and open up to that...” Jason calmly spoke, rubbing Verde’s neck.

“So, you didn’t feel safe opening up to me?” Verde asked, already knowing the answer.

“No, but not because you weren't trying. I mean, what you think might just be some free sex, was my first time with anyone and I was possibly throwing it away to this mare I barely knew...” Jason said, folding his arms.

“For what it’s worth, you helped me get past a rough time Jason, it’s not exactly easy to be in heat, especially the longer a mare goes without any help...” Verde mellowly spoke with her head low.

“But Jason, I like being with you, a lot, especially when you're this playful.” Verde picked up her head, smiling.

Jason held out his arms, Verde already knew what he wanted. Pulling herself closer to him, she let herself be wrapped in his embrace. She tried to give him an embrace in return, but her front legs were not really made for holding anything. Jason started to nuzzle the top of her head with his short nose as she pressed into his chest. She could smell it, the scent she loved so much. The scent that covered the pillows and blankets he slept in, the scent that she fell asleep with every night for the last few months, the scent that was with her love.
