The chilly wind blew against Soarin’s muzzle as he blasted through the air above the Cloudsdale coliseum. He and the rest of the Wonderbolts soared high above the great city in the sky, practicing their routine, honing their skills as would be expected from the greatest team of flyers in Equestria. He glanced off to his sides where his teammates kept up his pace; he was leading the exercise today, an opportunity that seldom revealed itself to him, one he opted to make the most out of. Slowly but surely he picked up his speed to see if his teammates would be able to follow suit; they did. A smile crept across his mouth and he started ascending, slowly at first, just letting the wind flow around him, before making a sharp turn, shooting straight up into the sky as if shot out of a cannon. This wasn’t anything unusual for any of them. As Wonderbolts they had to be able to make quick maneuvers and sharp turns in any directions. He glanced to his sides again, Spitfire and Fleetfoot were still hot on his tail. He felt proud, like any leader would have. And today, he was most certainly leading them.

The skies above Cloudsdale were almost free of clouds, letting the bright sun shine over the majestic lands far down below. As Soarin kept guiding the Wonderbolts higher he closed his eyes so he wouldn’t be blinded by the rays. It felt awesome, the wind against his face, the warmth of the sun against his body. He loved it, that warm feeling, it made him feel great, like he was truly alive. Nothing could match this kind of sensation. Well, nothing that he knew of anyway.

As he climbed higher into the blue sky he began to count. Five-hundred feet, six-hundred, even with his eyes closed he knew when he passed another mark. Years of experience had taught him well. He kept climbing, by now he didn’t need to look and see if his teammates were with him, he knew they were there. He opened his eyes, just slightly so he wouldn’t be blinded. Eleven-hundred feet, soon it would be time. He closed them again and flapped his wings hard, propelling him higher faster than most pegasi could ever dare to dream. He and his team were the best, and everypony knew it. Sixteen-hundred feet, seventeen, he was getting close now, his mind and body knew it. Only seconds away he closed his eyes again.

Two thousand feet.

His wings folded against his body, letting him fall upwards through the air, his body limp. He knew what was coming next, as his body started slowing until it stopped. For a few short seconds he and his team just hung in the air, as if weightless. There was no resistance, no sound, only complete and utter stillness. For that moment in time they just seemed to exist, for that moment only, they were on top. And then they fell.

This was the best moment of the entire exercise for Soarin. Falling down, going faster than he ever could on his own, it just felt fantastic for him. As he opened his eyes, he saw the coliseum approaching him fast. He smirked, narrowing his eyes. It was time for the last part of the exercise.

After falling for roughly twenty seconds, Soarin unfolded his powerful wings just as he was about to hit the cloud floor. Mustering every bit of strength in him, he managed to pull himself up again, gliding just a few feet above the fluffy white surface at an incredible speed, before slowly pulling up again into a loop to slow down, and then glide across the clouds again until he finally let his hooves down, skidding to a halt, leaving a track in the cloud behind him. Spitfire and Fleetfoot joined him soon.

Oh yes, this was life.

“Great practice today, Soarin,” Spitfire said as she glanced over at her flying partner in the Coliseum shower room, “You’ve really improved your skills these last few weeks,” she said as she slid out of her tight flight suit. Soarin sat on a bench a few feet away from her, struggling to get out of his own suit.

“Thanks, Spitfire,” he said, looking up at the yellow mare. She was dripping with sweat, making her glisten a bit in the light. He blushed a bit and turned his eyes back to the zipper he was struggling with.

“Yeah man, you really worked us hard today, I’m bust,” Came Fleetfoot’s voice from the other end of the room as she entered, slumping down on a bench.

“Well, thanks both of you, I guess, though you did your parts as well,” Soarin responded and kept fiddling with his zipper. Spitfire rolled her eyes and walked over to him. Rearing up on her hind legs, forelegs resting on his knees, she looked him in the eyes and gave a sly smile.

“Well, we had a good leader today,” she said almost seductively. Soarin blushed a bit, and over at the other end of the room, Fleetfoot could be heard making a hasty exit. “Well, now that she’s gone, let’s get you out of this suit,” Spitfire said and grabbed the zipper in her teeth, slowly pulling it down over Soarin’s chest, exposing his well-toned body. She smiled and kept pulling downwards, the whole time Soarin was just blushing like mad, but he didn’t try to stop her, at least not until she reached the area around his crotch.

“Okay, I think I can take care of it from here,” he said with a sheepish smile and pushed Spitfire away. He quickly got out of his suit and pushed it away. Now fully exposed, Spitfire made sure to take a good look at Soarin’s body. He certainly wasn’t bad-looking, not by a long shot. His light blue body was lean and muscular, especially his wings, which were at their utmost prime, but Spitfire’s attention were on his flanks and hind legs. Spitfire licked her lips and felt an all too familiar burn in her nether regions. Whenever she caught a glimpse of that fine little ass of his she felt like her body was burning up, and she just wanted to pounce him right on the spot and let him have his way with her. She didn’t though, it would seem too unprofessional.

“So, now that that’s off, why don’t we hit the showers,” she said, walking past him towards the shower room, making sure he caught a good glimpse of her flanks, as well as the area covered by her tail. Soarin was beet red by this point, but followed suit. Spitfire smiled, maybe today she’d finally get somewhere with him.

As they stepped into the shower, Spitifire went for the one closest to the wall. The room was rather large, with several showerheads coming out of the walls. Normally pegasi would use storm clouds for this purpose, but the coliseum had chosen to install a system of running water instead. It was somehow more luxurious, though not everypony agreed, especially Soarin. He stepped into the shower next to Spitfire and turned the water on. He winced a bit as the hot water washed over his muscular body, and Spitfire suddenly found herself even more turned on than before. Once he’d adjusted to the warmth, Soarin grabbed a bottle of shampoo and squeezed out a generous amount, then started lathering himself up. Spitfire did the same, never taking her eyes of the stallion. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and a smile crept across her face.

“Hey, Soarin, care to help me out here a bit,” she said as he turned to face her.

“Sure, what do you need?” he asked, blushing again as he laid eyes on Spitfire. She stood with her behind turned to him, looking over her shoulder with a seductive smile on her face, a glint in her eye. Her mane and tail plastered against her body, and her ass cheeks were glistening with water. “Ehhh, what do you need help with, exactly?” Soarin asked completely dumbstruck. Spitfire rolled her eyes, this was getting harder by the second. Could he really be that dense?

“Well,” she said and licked her wet lips, “I can’t reach around the back, would you be a real gentlecolt and help lather up my flank?” she said and blinked, hoping her message would get through.

“Oh, well, sure I guess,” Soarin said, a little taken aback by Spitfire’s choice of word, but nevertheless squeezed out some shampoo in his hoof and went to work on Spitfire, starting with her upper back, slowly making his way down her yellow body. Like the other Wonderbolts, Spitfire was incredibly well-trained. Her back felt hard around the wing muscles, and every time she moved, Soarin could feel the powerful musculature ripple right under her skin. As he kept working his way down, he eventually started massaging Spitfire’s flank. The mare cooed silently to herself as the blue stallion worked her flank.

Soarin made sure to just lather up her flanks and not stray too close to her tail and the goods that hid just behind it. To him, this whole experience was a mixture of embarrassing and slightly arousing, although the latter part was a strange one for him. He liked Spitfire, no question about it, but as far as he was concerned, that liking extended only to friendship. It didn’t seem that way with Spitfire though, and for several weeks now she’d been coming onto him harder and harder after their training sessions. But this, this was taking a whole new turn of events, and Soarin didn’t really know what to think. At the same time though, he couldn’t help but enjoy himself as he massaged the mare’s yellow hindquarters.

Her ass wasn’t quite as well-trained as the rest of her, as hard back muscles gave way to soft femininine pug as Soarin worked her flank.Soarin couldn’t deny that it felt nice, but at the same time he couldn’t help feeling ashamed as well. He knew by this point that Spitfire had feelings for him, that much was sure, but he couldn’t deny that Spitfire was making him slightly uncomfortable too.

“Hey, Soarin,” came Spitfire’s voice, snapping him out of his thoughts, “I think you’ve done more than enough work on my flanks, so why don’t you get a little deeper in there and get me real clean,” she said, lifting her wet tail out of the way, exposing her dripping wet sex. Soarin’s eyes went wide as dinner plates and he fell backwards, scampering across the wet marble floor.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there, Spitfire, is that what you wanna do? You want me to do…that, to you?”

“Yes! Dammit Soarin, how dense are you actually? Could I be any clearer than this? Get up of the floor and just mount me already you damn hunk!” She said, wiggling her ass at him. Soarin just got on his hooves and backed off.

“Oh man, Spitfire, I didn’t think you liked me that much. I mean, I’ve noticed you teasing me these last few weeks, but-“

“But what? Dammit Soarin, if you’ve noticed it then why the heck haven’t you acted on it? I’m offering myself up here, how many mares would do that, you think? I want you, Soarin, I want you real damn bad!”

Soarin couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Not only had Spitfire, his closest friend for many years, been coming onto him, but she wanted him to screw her as well? This was becoming too much for him to handle, and his emotions were running wild.

“But, we’re colleagues,” he stammered, “And besides, workplace relationships are against regulations, we could get in some serious trouble for this!”

“I don’t care about any regulations!” Spitfire shouted, “I’m the captain of the damn Wonderbolts! I don’t need fucking regulations!”

“But…” Soarin’s voice was cut short as Spitfire darted across the room and wrapped her forelegs around him. Before he could react however, she’d already pressed her lips against his, silencing him completely. At first he was stunned, his mind racing, but his body spoke a different language, one he suddenly couldn’t fight any longer. His body went limp, as all the tension that had built up in him began to let go. He didn’t exactly know why, this was a new experience for him, but it all suddenly felt right. Spitfire broke the kiss and looked into Soarin’s eyes.

“How’s that for regulations?” she asked. Soarin just looked at her, speechless, trying to come up with something, but there were no words. In that one moment, the world as he knew it had come to an abrupt halt. All that teasing that he’d just thought of as Spitfire's dirty sense of humor, it all became much clearer now, and he mentally facehoofed for not having realized earlier. Maybe he’d just been too dense, or maybe he’d just thought that Spitfire wouldn’t in any way be interested in him, and that she’d just been, well, teasing him for fun. All those thoughts melted away as he stared deep into her eyes, being replaced by completely different ones. And he liked it.

He kissed her. Grabbing her head with his forelegs he pulled her close and kissed her deeply. It wasn’t something he’d done before, yet something deep inside him seemed to guide him. Spitfire was a little surprised at first, but quickly adjusted to this new turn of events and coaxed him on. Letting him do most of the actual work, Spitfire just tried guiding him in the right directions. She started stroking her tongue against his teeth, and it didn’t take him long to take the hint. He opened his mouth, allowing her tongue to slip in as they locked with each other. The room was slowly becoming louder as the two of them sloppily made out, their wet bodies pressed against each other as they leaned up against the wall. Finally they parted lips, leaving a strand of glistening saliva between them.

“Well, seems you finally got around,” Spitfire panted, “Ready for more?” she asked, looking at Soarin. The stallion smiled at her.

“You tell me,” he said with a grin and nodded downwards. Spitfire narrowed her eyes a little as she felt something pressing against her belly. She looked deep into Soarin’s eyes and grinned.

“Mmm, what’s that I’m feeling, you naughty stallion? Do you have something for me down there?”

“Why don’t you take a look?” Soarin said, raising and eyebrow in a failed attempt at seductiveness. Spitfire just kept smiling and slowly got of him to get a better look at his equipment. Looking down, her eyes suddenly went wide, her mouth agape.

“Whoa, where the heck were you hiding that thing?!” she exclaimed as she got her first ever good look at Soarin’s dick. It was a darker color than the rest of him, a deep dark blue, almost black, that contrasted well with the rest of him, matted with large pink spots. It was large to boot, one of the biggest Spitfire had ever seen, and it was thick. Spitfire’s mouth began to water as she examined it, grabbing it with both hooves she started stroking it, making Soarin gasp.

“What’s wrong, never been touched before?”

“Not by anyone but me, no,” Soarin said sheepishly, “Definitely not by any mares,” he added. Spitfire raised her eyebrows and just looked at him.

“You’re a virgin? No wonder you were so dense to my approaches, you’ve never had a mare come on to you in your life, have you?”

“Not really,” Soarin mumbled, looking off to the side, “I’ve never really had the courage to even ask a mare out, much less ask one for sex,” he continued.

“How do you manage not to lose your mind, I mean, you must’ve had blue balls for like, years-“

“Porn. I…I do a lot of porn,” Soarin said, sounding a bit ashamed to admit such a thing to Spitfire.

“Well then, let’s see if your images could prepare you for the real deal,” Spitfire said and licked her lips. Slowly she brought her head down.

“W-wait, what’re you gonna…oh, never mind” Soarin’s voice trailed off into a gasp as Spitfire took the tip of his penis into her mouth, and slowly took the rest of his length as well. She felt a bit of a strain around her lips as she worked to get his girthy pole all the way inside, but she didn’t let that stop her, and soon she’d taken most of his penis into her mouth. Soarin just groaned in pleasure as Spitfire worked her magic. Once she’d accommodated to the length and girth she started bobbing her head up and down slowly, putting all her skill into giving Soarin a blowjob he’d never forget. She swirled her tongue around his thick dick, savoring what little taste there was, and worked her way upwards until she was licking the tip of his penis. Soarin grunted a little, and Spitfire suddenly felt something in her mouth. A warm, salty taste spread across her tongue. She savored it, making sure to catch every drop of precum that by this point had started oozing out into her mouth. It didn’t exactly taste good, but she licked it up anyway.

Soarin felt like he was in heaven. Spitfire’s mouth enveloped his swollen rod like a moist furnace, hot and slippery around his dick. Every time her tongue lapped his length he gasped and panted. He’d always imagined it would feel good, but this was utterly sensational. As Spitfire kept sucking, Soarin got more confident as well, and slowly he started brushing her mane with his hooves, coaxing her, guiding her. Spitfire didn’t seem to mind, which boosted the stallion’s confidence even further. With a glint in his eye he pushed Spitfire’s head back and looked her in the eyes for a moment.

“Would you mind if we…switched position. I wanna try something too,” he said and slid down on the floor, motioning for Spitfire to lay on top of him. She smiled and stepped over his chest, resting her ass on it, giving him access to her nether regions. Soarin looked almost hypnotized at Spitfire’s cunt. It was a darker yellow than the rest of her, and dripping wet. He craned his neck forward a bit and gave it a long lick, sticking his tongue into her dripping folds a little, tasting Spitfire’s juices. Spitfire moaned a little, and went back to work on Soarin’s member, trusting the stallion would do the best he could on his part. Soarin was indeed inexperienced, but he did his best. He’d watched enough porn in his days to have some slight idea about what mares liked. He stuck his long tongue as deep as he could into Spitfire’s pussy. It didn’t taste as much as he thought it would. It had kind of a raw taste to it, he really couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it tasted like, but he enjoyed it. He kept sloppily licking her moist hole, burrowing his tongue into every fold, occasionally taking it out to suck and nibble on her outer folds, making Spitfire squirm. He pulled the soft skin with his lips, pressing his face into Spitfire’s crotch, his muzzle getting covered in her juices.

While Soarin was working on his end, Spitfire was still busy huffing dong on her end. For a stallion who’d never been blown before, Soarin seemed to have quite the stamina, but Spitfire knew he wouldn’t be far from cumming soon. As she stretched her lips further down along his dick, she decided to step up her game a notch. Bracing herself for it, she started really deepthroating Soarin, taking his entire length down her throat. Soarin’s hoof began tapping against the floor, indicating to Spitfire that she was doing it right. She kept sliding his dick down her throat until her nose was almost touching his balls, and once she was as far down as she possibly could without choking she stayed there, letting the warmth of her throat envelop her lover’s penis.

Soarin loved it. Having his dick buried deep down in Spitfire’s throat felt great, and it was getting harder for him to concentrate on pleasuring Spitfire when he himself felt like he would burst any minute. Despite this, he kept licking, going downwards into her pussy until his tongue made contact with something. Spitfire’s body stiffened up; Soarin had just struck gold, and he knew it. He’d watched enough closeups of mares to know exactly what that fleshy little nub he’d just brushed over was, and what it could do for Spitfire. Wasting no time, he turned his attention from lapping at her folds to focusing on her clit, running his tongue over it time and time again, until Spitfire seemingly couldn’t take it any longer. She slid his cock out of her mouth and leaned her ass into Soarin’s muzzle, completely lost in a world of pleasure.

“Damn, for somepony who’s only been watching porn, the little bastard sure knows how to please a mare,” she thought and gritted her teeth. Soarin noticed that Spitfire wasn’t blowing him any longer and peeked out from behind her ass.

“H-hey, why’d you stop?”

“Why did you stop?” Spitfire responded between heavy panting.

“Cause you did, please, keep going, I’m so damn close. Do me real good, and I promise, I’ll do you a solid one,” Soarin said with a smirk. Spitfire groaned and resumed the blowjob while Soarin went back to her clit. He felt himself getting close by this point, and forced his body to stiffen up, pumping more blood into his penis, making it harder than ever. Spitfire seemed to notice as she grabbed hold of it with one hoof and started massaging Soarin’s balls with the other. Feeling herself drawing closer as well, she tripled her efforts, sucking and slurping on his dick like mad, alternating between licking around the tip and deepthroating him, taking the entire length of his penis into her throat, almost gagging on it in the process. She knew he was getting close, and by Celestia, he was going to go off before she did. Her personal pride depended on it for reasons she couldn’t explain. She suddenly felt his penis twitch a bit and grabbed ahold of it with both hooves. She had a feeling it was going to be needed.

Soarin’s eyes rolled back into his head as he gave of a short yelp. His cockhead flared inside Spitfire’s mouth, filling it up with a sticky torrent of cum. Spitfire was initially shocked, but she didn’t pull away as his dick kept firing spurts of hot semen down her throat. She didn’t have time to taste as she began to swallow, large gulps traveling down her throat as she drank down his fluids that just seemed to keep on coming. Soarin felt a splitting headache going through his head, his entire body tensing up as he humped Spitfire’s mouth best he could as she milked him. While she drank it down, she kept jacking his penis with both hooves, causing him to let out one last massive torrent into her mouth, which became too much for the poor mare. A gush of cum exploded out of her mouth, covering Soarin’s balls and the floor tiles. Spitfire gasped for air as cum dribbled from her mouth in long strands. She panted heavily. Then her body tensed up again.

Soarin had regained his senses and was rapidly lapping away at Spitfire’s clit. His head hurt like mad from cumming so hard, and his body was more than spent, but he’d made the promise that he’d make Spitfire feel good, and by Celestia, he was going to keep it. Not wasting any time, he wrapped his lips around her swollen clit and began swirling his tongue around it in fast motions. Spitfire’s body began shaking, and she was panting harder and harder by each passing second, until finally her body tensed up as well, and she let out an ear piercing shriek that echoed through the shower room as she came. A torrent of fluid gushed out of Spitfire’s cunt, soaking Soarin’s muzzle completely. He tried his best to lap it up, but it just kept coming, making it hard for him to even breathe as he laid his head back and just let Spitfire’s love juice shower all over his face and neck. After a good thirty seconds or so Spitfire finally relaxed her muscles and slumped down on Soarin’s stomach, her head resting beside his now flaccid dick in a small pool of his cum.

They lay there for an untold length of time, basking in the afterglow of the act. They were both utterly spent, Soarin slightly more than Spitfire, and neither said anything for a long time. After a while, Spitfire began moving a little, turning around on top of Soarin, coming face to face with him. They looked one another in the eye and gave satisfied smiles, their faces still partially drenched in each other’s juices. Soarin’s muzzle had taken on a slightly darker color from being sprayed with Spitfire’s orgasm, and small traces of his cum still remained on Spitfire’s cheek. He didn’t care, neither did she, and they met in another kiss. This time they weren’t as sloppy, and they didn’t use much tongue. Instead they just kissed each other gently, as a sign of a job well done on both parts. Once they parted they looked into each other’s eyes again.

“So,” Spitfire began, “How was that for a first time?” Soarin didn’t answer at first and gave her another small kiss.

“That was freaking amazing, I didn’t know you had a side like that, Spitfire,” he said, panting slightly at every word.

“Oh, there’s more to this Wonderbolt than you might think. Now why don’t we hit the showers like we were supposed, I don’t know about me, but you smell like cunt right now,” she said and slowly got up. Soarin followed suit, moving carefully, as each step he took made his head hurt. He winced.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Spitfire asked.

“Just a headache. Came so hard, my body wasn’t ready for it I guess,” he responded. Spitfire cocked her head a little and looked at the small pool of cum on the floor.

“Yeah, you came quite a bit,” she said and smiled again, “You must’ve been saving up that load for a while, didn’t you?”

Soaring snickered a bit and blushed. “Yeah, that was about a week’s worth. I was going to save it for tonight, but thanks to you it looks like I don’t have to wait that long.”

Spitfire raised her eyebrows again. “You clop only once a week? My gosh man, what the heck is wrong with you?” she asked with a slight hint of shock in her voice.

“Well, let’s just say I like shooting a lot, makes me feel like a real stallion,” Soarin said with a smirk. Spitfire just rolled her eyes.

“Well then, Mr. ‘real’ stallion, how about helping me out in the shower like I asked you to before?” she said and stepped under the running water.

They spent quite a while showering, getting all the sticky out of their fur and wash away the smell, but even after three sub sequential scrubbings the smell of sex still lingered over both of them. Shrugging, Soarin reached for the shampoo again, squeezing out what little he could out of it and started lathering Spitfire up, rubbing his hooves all over her wet body, her chest, her belly, even over her teats. Once she was all lathered up she’d turn around, grinding herself against him, using her own body like a sponge to lather him up as well, all the while kissing him deeply, running her hooves through his wet mane.

“So,” she began, “Not exactly how you expected to spend the afternoon, did ya?” she said with a grin looking into Soarin’s eyes.

Soarin just shook his head slightly. “Not really,” he said and pecked her on the lips, “But I’m glad you talked me into it,” he added.

“More like forced you into it. Kinda unprofessional if you think about it,” she said with a smile, “I hope you were okay with it.”

“I am now,” Soarin said, and they both snickered a bit and kissed again. Breaking the kiss, Spitfire looked at her lover.

“Can I ask something though?” she said.

“Sure.”

“How the heck did you become so good, seeing as how you’ve never done it before today?”

“Well, let’s just say I had a great leader,” Soarin said, smirking.

“What, you mean those magazines? Look, I’m not that stupid, Soarin, I know those things aren’t about teaching stallions how to please mares, just-“

Her voice was cut as Soarin placed a hoof on her lips to silence her. He looked her deep in the eyes as he spoke.

“I wasn’t talking about the magazines,” he said and removed his hoof. Spitfire didn’t say anything, Soarin’s eyes conveyed all the answers she ever needed. She just grinned.

“Come here, you,” she said and locked lips with him again, sloppily this time. Soarin leaned in and kissed Spitfire deeply. He closed his eyes, savoring this moment in time. It was like flying, during that moment when he’d stop before he fell, when time just stopped for him to enjoy. But this time he didn’t fall, and in that moment in time he found himself in something better than he could’ve ever dreamed. He pulled Spitfire closer as the water trickled over them, pulling her deeper into the kiss.

This was a lot better than flying.

Very unprofessional

Soarin fumbled with his keys before managing to get the door unlocked. Stepping aside, he opened it and allowed Spitfire to step inside. Despite his efforts to stay cool, Soarin’s nervous jitters stood in sharp contrast to Spitfire’s curiousity. Spitfire had never been in Soarin’s home before. Outside of work the Wonderbolts rarely saw much of each other. Not that they didn’t hang out on occassion, but they didn’t regularly come to visit one another.

It had taken a lot of convincing from Spitfire to have Soarin agree to do this, as he’d been pretty reserved about her coming over to his place, which struck Spitfire as a little bit odd. He hadn’t been hard to win over back in the shower the other day, so why was letting her into his home such a big deal?

Stepping into the hall, Spitfire didn’t notice anything that stuck out. The hall was rather spacious, with a few coat hangers and a mirror hanging on the wall. It seemed a lot bigger than was necessary for one stallion, but Spitfire wasn’t about to start complaining. If this was going to turn into something more serious later down the line, which she hoped, she was glad that he at least had a place big enough for two.

It was a rather large, elegant two story house located at the edge of Cloudsdale, in one of the smaller suburbs away from the more lively parts of the city. The area was rather peaceful, although Spitfire had a feeling that before the day was over, at least Soarin’s place would be livened up a bit.

“Nice place you’ve got here,” she said, stepping into the hall and looking around. Soarin closed the door behind them and joined soon, walking up beside Spitfire.

“Well, it’s not much, but it’s home. Come on, I’ll show you around the place,” he said stepping further into the house. Spitfire followed closely, walking a bit behind Soarin so as to get a good view of him. While Soarin went on about the house, Spitfire was lost in her own little world, watching Soarin’s hindquarters as he showed her around. She usually only got a good view of Soarin flying, and seeing him walk, with that well trained flank swaying back and forth, made Spitfire lick her lips.

As they passed through the living room, Spitfire stopped for a while to look around. For somepony who lived alone, she was a bit surprised at just how clean the place seemed. Walking around the room a bit she felt a little strange, this wasn’t how she’d expected things to be. The living room was the biggest room in the house so far, with a large sofa tucked up against the wall along with some cloud cushions, a large glass table, and at the other end of the room stood a couple of large bookshelves and a flat screen TV. The whole place looked exactly like what she would’ve expected from a single stallion, but it didn’t feel like it.

“Well, what do you think?” Soarin asked, “Not too shabby for a single stallion, right?” he said with a smirk, looking around the room. He was glad that he’d been able to convince Spitfire to wait a day before coming over. It had given him just enough time to get the place cleaned up. He didn’t want to give a bad first impression.

“It’s... not really what I expected,” Spitfire said, examining the bookshelves. They were packed with books that Spitfire had a feeling were mostly decorations. She didn’t expect Soarin to actually read most of them.

“Well, what did you expect, then?” Soarin asked as he walked up to Spitfire.

“I don’t know... Maybe a bit of a mess?” she said, blushing a little, hoping Soarin wouldn’t take that the wrong way. To her relief, Soarin just chuckled. “What’s so funny?”

“You expected me to be a stereotypical single colt? What, did you think you were going to find stacks of pizza boxes and mountains of soda cans around the house? Please, give me some credit, Spitfire,” Soarin said, lightly bumping Spitfire’s side. Spitfire blushed even harder and pretended to take an interest in the numerous books. Scanning across them she came across several titles about aerodynamics, flying techniques, cloud handling, the usual stuff one might expect from an elite flyer. She also noticed several cookbooks, making her raise an eyebrow.

“You…do a lot of cooking?”

Sorain sighed a little and motioned for Spitfire to sit down. She moved over to the couch and sat down, with Soarin sitting down on the other end.

“Well, mom wouldn’t let me out of the house until I could cook for myself, and dad didn’t really get to say anything, so I was more or less forced to learn in order to get out of there,” Soarin said, rolling his eyes. Spitfire stifled a snicker. “Look, it’s okay if you wanna laugh at it,” Soarin continued, “I get how stupid it sounds.”

“No, it’s, actually kinda cute when you think about it,” Spitfire said, “Sounds like you really have caring parents.”

“Well, sometimes I wish they were a little less caring actually. Mom always worried that I’d end up like my brother, and dad more or less forced me into the Bolts to make up for his own failures,” Soarin said, “Not that I’m not grateful to him, heck if he hadn’t pushed me like he did, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation right now, but still…” he added, trailing of. Spitfire took the moment to scoot over and snuggle up against him while his mind was elsewhere. Soarin jumped a little at Spitfire’s touch, but once he’d adjusted he wrapped his forehooves around her.

They sat in silence for an untold amount of time, the only sounds coming from their breathing. Spitfire leaned her head against Soarin’s chest, shivering a bit every time he inhaled and his chest swelled up. She snuggled closer, burying her muzzle into the soft fur and taking in what little scent there was. To anypony else he probably just smelled like any other stallion, but for her, Soarin smelled like home. She almost felt like a little filly again, snuggling up with her parents and siblings, feeling like nothing could touch her and that they would keep her safe. She hadn’t felt it for a long time, but right now, those feelings came creeping back in. She couldn’t say why, or even understand it, but Soarin somehow made her feel safe. Safe and horny.

Lowering her head a little, Spitfire ran the tip of her tongue over Soarin’s upper belly, stopping ocassionally to tug a little at his fur and skin, making his whole body twitch. Slowly she made her way up his chest and neck, leaving a trail of little dark blue patches in his fur until she found herself face to face with him. Not wasting time they locked lips, going slowly at first with only light pecks, but quickly escalating once they’d gotten into the rhythm. Soarin felt Spitfire’s tongue dancing across his teeth, begging for entrance into his mouth, and Soarin was only happy to oblige. Within seconds their tongues were locked, swirling and writhing around each other, fighting for dominance. The living room echoed with sloppy, messy sounds as they made out, grinding against each other, their arousal building by the second. They finally stopped for a moment and parted, leaving a thin string of saliva between them. They panted slightly, Soarin especially since he was still getting the hang of it.

Spitfire looked him in the eyes and smiled. “Well, now you have another caring pony in your life,” she said, making Soarin smile slyly, “And this one also has high expectations of you,” she added. Soarin just kept his sly smile and pulled Spitfire closer.

“What if I’m a bad colt? What if I don’t live up to your expectations?” He asked playfully.

“Well, let’s just say I have ways of dealing with bad little colts. But I don’t think you are one. I think that with the right amount of conditioning, we can probably turn you out just right…” Spitfire said and pushed Soarin back into the cushions before straddling his stomach, locking him in another kiss. She was more aggressive this time, instantly taking control and jamming her tongue inside Soarin’s mouth, pushing his own tongue down. He quickly caught her drift and wrapped his hooves around her back, forcing her to roll over. Now he was the dominant one. Grabbing Spitfire’s head he wrestled his tongue out of her grip and continued kissing her, swirling his flexible tongue around, never giving her the opportunity to catch him. Spitfire was growing aroused and playfully irritated at her lover’s tenacity and forced him up against the back of the sofa where she once again had him pinned. They kept going for a few minutes before parting again, both of them now panting heavily, droplets of sweat running down their necks.

“See, you aren’t so bad, you just need a little encouragement,” Spitfire said, poking Soarin in the chest.

“Well, I guess you’re right, you’ve certainly encouraged some parts of me,” Soarin said and glanced down towards Spitfire’s crotch area. Spitfire cocked an eyebrow and smiled. She’d felt Soarin get hard while they were making out, and now she was grinding herself against his length, leaving a wet trail of arousal along it. “Aren’t you gonna do anything about that?” Soarin asked as he slowly lay back against the soft cushions, pulling Spitfire down with him until they lay belly to belly, his hardened member poking at the base of Spitfire’s tail.

“Oh no, not this time,” Spitfire said, “This time I want you to get me to go down on you.”

Soarin snickered a bit and put on his best begging face. “Please?”

“Nope, begging isn’t gonna cut it. You’re gonna have to do a little more than that,” Spitfire said, pulling Soarin’s fore hooves up, placing them against her shoulders, hoping he’d catch on.

“Oh, so you wanna to do it like that…” Soarin said as he started pushing Spitfire down his body. She planted little kisses all over his chest as she went down, occasionally nibbling at certain spots, making Soarin squeal like a little colt. As she got down to his belly, Soarin sat up against the pillows when his hooves wouldn’t reach from his lying position, and put his hooves on top of her head. As Spitfire passed over the mid-section of his belly she planted a kiss on it, causing Soarin’s leg to kick.

“What the hell…?” Spitfire said, glancing at Soarin’s still twitching leg.

“Sorry,” Soarin said sheepishly. Spitfire didn’t linger on it, as she’d finally reached her prize. Leaning closer, nudging the soft flesh of his member and feeling the hardness just underneath the skin, she moved her muzzle upwards, taking in his scent. She kept at it for a while, rubbing her muzzle against his dick, occasionally giving it a slight lick, but never taking it into her mouth. Soarin groaned a bit, longing for Spitfire to blow him again. Last time had been amazing, and he couldn’t wait to re-live the experience.

“Hey…are you going to do it or what?” Soarin asked, looking down at Spitfire with a pleading look. His member was so hard by this point it almost hurt, begging for relief.

“I said you’d have to do more than begging, and I meant it,” Spitfire said as she held Soarin’s dick between her hooves, giving it the occasional lick so it wouldn’t go soft on her. Taking the hint, Soarin moved his hooves behind her head, pulling her into his crotch, his dick pressing against her chin. Spitfire smiled and started going up until the tip of Soarin’s dick pressed against her lips. She stuck out her tongue and gave an affectionate lick around the tip, before opening her mouth wider. For a moment, Soarin lost control over his actions. Driven by lust that overshadowed his instincts and common decency, he grabbed hold of Spitfire’s head and forced his cock into her mouth.

Even though he’d done exactly what she’d hoped, Spitfire was still a bit taken by Soarin’s sudden initiative. Her mouth quickly filled up with his meat, and she fought the urge to gag as his long dick hit the back of her throat. She clenched her eyes shut and focused on breathing. After what seemed like a small eternity, Soarin finally let go of her head, allowing her to slide his dick out of her mouth with a slight gasp. She didn’t say anything, and once she’d caught her breath she started fellating him hard, taking his dick deep into her mouth again and again, while occasionally pulling it out to give it a hard lick.

Soarin was completely lost in his own pleasure, panting as the warm wetness of Spitfire’s mouth envelop his member again and again. He still held his hooves against her head, but Spitfire seemed to be going by herself at this point, and he was just going along for the ride. He wasn’t usually aggressive by nature, but something about making Spitfire go down on him had made him feel good. Even though she’d been coaxing him, wanting him to be more assertive, he still felt strangely good with being dominant. He was snapped out of his thoughts as he felt the tip of his cock being buried deep inside Spitfire’s mouth again. Deciding to not let her down, he pulled her head close again and started rocking his hips back and forth, lightly humping her face as she blew him.

On her end, Spitfire was highly enjoying herself. Even though she was currently only giving and not receiving, she felt glad that Soarin took some initiative of his own that she didn’t need to encourage him to. Letting herself relax for a bit, she allowed Soarin to do his thing, feeling his hard cock slid back and forth over her tongue as he humped her face. Seeing how he handled himself pretty good on his own, Spitfire slid a hoof down between her hind legs and started rubbing herself. She was slightly wet already, getting her hoof damp as she rubbed her swollen clit, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body. It was a bit hard at first, pleasuring herself while also pleasuring Soarin, but she soon found a rhythm. For several minutes they lay on the couch, their moans echoing throughout the house, the scent of their bodies growing thick in the air.

Unlike their previous encounter, Soarin felt his orgasm draw closer much faster this time around. Humping Spitfire’s throat, allowing him to be in control, was becoming a huge turn-on, and he could feel the familiar tingle in the base of his cock that signaled what was about to happen. Deciding to pick up his game he once again grabbed Spitfire’s head, just behind her ears, and humped a little faster, his dick sliding across Spitfire’s moist tongue, hitting her in the back of the throat. This time, Spitfire wasn’t taken by Soarin’s actions and just let him do his thing. Aching for release, he humped her face faster and faster, pressure building in his balls by the second as his orgasm approached. Gritting his teeth and clenching his eyes shut he began furiously thrusting Spitfire’s mouth, the yellow mare trying to keep up while pleasuring herself as well, which was getting harder and harder to do. With the thick meat sliding in and out of her mouth, Spitfire had a hard enough time focusing on her own pleasure as well as focusing on not getting choked. Soarin’s cock was putting a strain on her mouth and throat. Her lips were a bit sore from the rough treatment, and having to breathe through her nose was no picnic either. She clenched her eyes a bit. Hearing Soarin pant as he neared his orgasm, Spitfire felt she’d had enough. He wasn’t going to get this one that easily, not like this. She wanted the whole experience, and when Spitfire wanted something, she got it. Her train of thought was interrupted as Soarin grunted loudly, a long moan escaping his lips. Setting her thoughts aside, Spitfire braced for the incoming load, knowing if it was anything like the one he’d had the day before, she was in for a ride. She was not mistaken.

With one final thrust Soarin came, a sticky torrent of cum exploding into Spitfire’s mouth as his cockhead swelled inside her mouth, forcing her to swallow the first spurt. She fought to breathe as Soarin kept firing shot after shot of his warm seed down her throat, her stomach filling up by the second. Finally she couldn’t take any more and yanked her head backwards, feeling a strain on her lips as Soarin’s flared cockhead slipped out of her mouth with a wet *pop*, the sensation causing him to fire another small load that landed in Spitfire’s face, a strand of white running down her forehead and nose. Spitfire was panting heavily, regaining her breath slowly but surely. Thick strands of saliva mixed with cum hung from her lips, droplets if it landing on the couch and floor. Soarin fell backwards, panting heavily. He felt wonderful, like a massive load had, literally, been taken of off him. Or rather out of him. Once his breathing returned to normal he glanced up, only to find Spitfire glaring at him from her spot right beneath his balls, strands of cum still clinging to her lips.

“Heh…hey, are you okay down there?” Soarin asked sheepishly. Spitfire didn’t respond and raised a hoof, wiping away some of the excess cum from her lips, wiping it of on the cloud floor. She kept glaring at him for a moment and then climbed up towards Soarins face with a determined look in her eye. Soarin felt a little nervous as Spitfire approached him, rubbing her hooves into his chest as she did.

“Oh I’m just fine, how about you, do you feel good?” Spitfire asked with a sly smile creeping over her cum stained lips.

“I…feel amazing,” Soarin answered hesitantly, droplets of sweat forming on the back of his head.

“That’s good to hear, though I hope you’ve still got some juice left in ya,” Spitfire said, licking her lips.

“Ehh, Spitfire, what’re you getting at here…?” Soarin asked. Spitfire’s eyes narrowed a little, a wicked smile spreading across her lips.

“I still haven’t had an orgasm yet, and I’m not leaving until you give me one. Now get your lazy ass into the bedroom, cause we’re gonna have some real fun, you and I,” Spitfire said, putting a hoof under Soarin’s chin, lifting his gaze to her level. “Some good, old fashioned Equestrian fun.”

Soarin swallowed.

***

Soarin landed on the queen size bed with a thud as Spitfire pushed him down on, almost hitting his head on the frame before she jumped up to join him, straddling over his chest. He panted slightly, having been given very little time to recover from the blowjob before Spitfire had literally dragged him into the bedroom, his dick having retreated back into his sheath. Glancing up he was met by Spitfire’s playful gaze. She seemed almost radiant in the afternoon light streaming in from the windows, her wings flaring, the sunlight reflecting in every feather. She looked down at Soarin from her spot on top of him and grinned.

“Nice place you’ve got here,” she said, looking around the room. She wasn’t just saying it to make him feel good, his bedroom was actually rather well kept, with the bed tucked up against the wall along with a couple of nightstands on each side. Looking out the window she could see the ground below, and of in the distance she could almost make out the shape of some mountains. It was a nice view, although she was the only one enjoying it. Looking down again she was met by Soarin’s big green eyes looking up at her. She smiled and leaned down. “Nice view you’ve got too.”

Soarin blushed slightly as Spitfire leaned closer. “T-thanks,” was all he managed to say. “I try to keep it cleaned up, but-“ he was cut off by Spitfire placing a hoof to his lips.

“I wasn’t talking about the scenic view, silly,” she said jokingly as Soarin’s face grew beet red.

“Oh, sorry, I…I didn’t mean to make it sound like that, I just-“ Spitfire silenced him again.

“Relax, I’m just teasing ya. You really have a lot to learn, don’t you, Soarin?” Spitfire said and pecked him on the nose, making him rub it like he was about to sneeze. Spitfire snickered. “In fact, I think we’d better start right now,” she said, scooting forward a bit until her crotch was only inches from Soarin’s face. Soarin glanced up at her and was met with a sly smile. “Go ahead,” Spitfire said seductively, “I’m all yours. Be a good little stallion and eat me out, will ya?” Noticing that Soarin had once again reverted into his denseness she rolled her eyes and just spoke clearly.

“Lick!”

Snapping out of his little trance, Soarin leaned forward, taking in the sight and scent of Spitfire’s sex. She smelled heavenly, a powerful musky scent making its way into Soarin’s nostrils as he inhaled deeply. Slowly he brushed his muzzle against her nethers, sending a small jolt through Spitfire’s body, before sticking his tongue out, sliding it from the base of her slit all the way to the top. Spitfire grunted ever so slightly as the tip of Soarin’s tongue brushed over her clit. Going slow, Soarin kept giving small licks all over the outside of Spitfire’s pussy, occasionally sliding his tongue inside her folds and over her clit, trying to find a rhythm. He wasn’t as aggressive as he’d been the first time, and instead focused on trying to tease Spitfire as much as possible.

Spitfire was enjoying herself best she could. Soarin didn’t seem to know exactly what to do, which preplexed her a bit. During their first encounter, Soarin had proven himself to be quite good at eating her out, and she was noticing a slight lack of that right now. Instead of going directly for her clit, Soarin seemed content with just lapping her on the outside, and she wasn’t going to have it. Looking down at him and meeting his gaze, she spoke.

“Stop teasing and go for it already. You still know how to do this, don’t you?” Spitfire said. Soarin just looked at her for a moment, then narrowed his eyes a little.

“As you wish…” he said, burying his muzzle deep within her folds, electing a little jump from Spitfire. Picking up his pace, Soarin dove into her cunt with hard licks, sucking on her outer lips one moment, while swirling his tongue around her opening the next. He was sloppy and uncoordinated, giving her broad licks, his wide tongue sliding over her clit. Spitfire liked it. It wasn’t the best she’d ever had, but what Soarin lacked in skill he made up for by sheer determination. Leaning backwards a bit and resting on her forehooves, Spitfire allowed Soarin full acess to her nethers. Her body was getting warmer by each passing minute, small beads of sweat running down her forehead.

“Mmm, that’s good, but I think you can do better,” Spitfire said in a low voice, sliding a hoof down onto Soarin’s head and ruffled his mane a little. Pulling his head forward she forced his face deeper into her crotch, forcing him to open his mouth more. Sliding his tongue deep into her folds he could feel her entrance against the tip, and with some effort he managed to get part of it into her, effectively penetrating her. Spitfire moaned a little as she felt Soarin’s powerful tongue slide its way into her tunnel, writhing around as he tried penetrating her with it. She squirmed a little on top of him, grinding her ass against his chest as his tongue kept slithering in and out of her hole, the breath from his nose making the fur on her crotch move back and forth as he inhaled and exhaled. His breath felt chilly against her fur, making her body tingle. It tickled, making Spitfire snicker a little.

“H-hey, stop that,” she said playfully. Soarin glanced up at her and leaned back, pulling his tongue out of her wet folds.

“Did I do something wrong?” he asked almost cautiously.

“Heh, no, it’s just that your breath tickles,” Spitfire said with a slight laugh.

“Oh really…you like being tickled, Spitfire?” Soarin asked with a glint in his eye, licking his lips and getting them covered in some of her juices.

Without warning Soarin returned his attention to Spitfire’s nether regions, blowing a thin stream of air over the area just underneath her stomach, making her giggle like a schoolfilly.

“Nnnngh, stop that…” Spitfire whined, although Soarin wouldn’t listen. Instead he rubbed his nose on the inside of her thigh, just slightly, but enough to make her squirm, occasionally nibbling her fur a little, making her whole body twitch.

“Dammit, Soarin…Oh! S-stop teasing and go back to eating me out will y-ahhh!” Spitfire moaned and giggled as Soarin kept brushing and nibbling at the sensitive insides of her legs, while sometimes surprising her by flicking his tongue over her clit, making her jump. Slowly, Spitfire began rolling of Soarin’s chest as he pushed into her nethers, being unable to maintain her sitting position. Soarin followed her as she went, never taking his head out of her crotch, nibbling at her inner thighs as she lay down on the bed. With a satisfied sigh, Spitfire laid back, pulling her forehooves up, splaying her legs for Soarin.

Despite him not going for her pussy any longer, Spitfire was still enjoying herself and allowed Soarin to explore her, trying his best to find ways to make her tick. His soft motions against her fur sent tingles throughout her body. It tickled like mad, but still felt arousing in a strange way. He didn’t forget about his main goal though, and just when Spitfire felt things were starting to go stale he would go back to giving her pussy some well-deserved attention, snapping her out of her boredom by a well-placed flick over her clit.

Spitfire squirmed and rolled from side to side as Soarin did his thing, feeling pleasantly relaxed and excited at the same time. Closing her eyes and pulling her forehooves up she felt wonderful, and while she was still miles away from cumming she was content with letting the little bastard go at it. She giggled a little as she felt him move upwards over her crotch, her eyes opening wide as she felt his soft touch against her teats, his hot breath washing over them like a warm blanket. She bit her lip a little as he took one of her nipples into his mouth, sucking at it and swirling his tongue around it, followed by slightly tugging at it until he let it go with a wet *pop*. Barely had he let go of one before moving over to the next, repeating the procedure while giving her little nibs. He bit and nibbled at her teats, not enough for it to hurt, but still enough to make her feel it. Spitfire winced. Soarin then took the whole teat into his mouth, sucking on it while occasionally giving it a little love bite, making Spitfire tense up.

“How am I doing?” Soarin asked, as he let go of Spitfire’s wet teat and looking up at her. Spitfire looked back at him through half closed eyes, panting a little.

“Mmm, you’re doing fine…just fine,” she said and leaned back as Soarin went downwards again, returning his attention to her pussy and dove in, shoving his tongue as deep inside her as he could, savoring the taste of her juices and the rawness of her cunt. He found it hard to pinpoint what she tasted like. It wasn’t the kind of ‘sweetness’ he’d so often herd ponies describe it as, but rather just kind of fleshy and raw. He still enjoyed it, swirling his tongue around, feeling her muscles tense and relax as he kept eating her out.

They kept at it for a while, with Soarin penetrating Spitfire orally while she just lay there. However, boredom soon kicked in for both of them, Spitfire trying to encourage Soarin to go a bit faster by humping his tongue a little. Wanting to spice things up, Soarin removed his tongue from Spitfire’s dripping pussy and started going lower on her, taking in the scent of her cunt as he moved southwards.

Spitfire’s eyes shot wide open as she felt the tip of Soarin’s muzzle press against a certain part of her body that seldom received much attention. Wincing a bit, she gasped as Soarin carefully extended his tongue again, gently prodding at her ass.

“Ehm, S-Soarin, please go easy there, will you, that’s virgin territory for me,” Spitfire said, followed by a small yelp as Soarin gave her ass a broad lick. It truly was a new kind of feeling for her, as none of the stallions she’d been with so far had been willing to go down on her like this, making her both uneasy and a little bit excited.

Soarin went slow, only taking small licks on the outside of her tight hole, not wanting to push his luck. Knowing that this was new even for Spitfire he didn’t go any further for now, sticking to gently flicking at her outside of her ring with his tongue. Unlike her pussy, her ass didn’t taste much of anything and felt rather dry as his tongue gently pressed against it, lubing it up. Quickly losing interest in it, he returned to licking her cunt. Feeling his cock swelling in his sheath, Soarin decided to ramp up his game. Without warning he gave Spitfire a broad lick, rolling his tongue over her clit until the tip flicked over her small nub, causing Spitfire to moan again. Then, while she was still a little dazed, Soarin dove in, wrapping his lips around her swollen clit and sucked on it hard, earning a sharp gasp from Spitfire. He proceeded to swirl his tongue around her clit, making her whole body tremble from the sudden rush of pleasure going through her body like an electric current.

Spitfire breathed hard as Soarin assaulted her clit with powerful licks. He had absolutely no sense of pace or rhythm, just a lot of quick motions. But she loved it. After the teasing and the experimentation, it felt so good that Soarin was finally doing something he’d proven to be quite good at, and Spitfire squirmed and writhed as Soarin viciously sucked and licked her swollen clit. Feeling her wings spread out underneath her she knew it wouldn’t be long before she came. She felt her nethers warming up, pressure building in her entire lower body as she ached for release.

Soarin was really getting into it as he sucked Spitfire’s clit, swirling his tongue around it slowly, tugging ever so slightly at it with his lips. His wings were flaring, their muscles tensing as a sign of absolute horniness. His cock had slipped out of its sheath and was once again rock hard, twitching and dripping precum onto the mattress, a dark spot slowly forming on the white cloud.

“S-Soarin…don’t make me wait any longer,” came Spitfire’s panting voice, “Come on, be a good little stallion and make me cum,” she winced, wrapping her hind legs around Soarin’s neck, holding him tight and forcing his muzzle against her pussy. Soarin’s jaw was starting to wear out, his tongue going numb. His mouth felt a bit dry when Spitfire pushed him inside. Deciding that she was going to cum then and there, Soarin pushed his forehooves under Spitfire’s legs and shoved, sending her entire lower body into the air so that only her upper back was still lying on the mattress. Before Spitfire could say anything, Soarin resumed his furious assault on her clit, flicking his tongue in rapid motions over it as Spitfire’s panting grew faster.

“Soarin, I’m gonna…I’m gonna…nghh!” Spitfire moaned. Wanting to try his luck just a little more, Soarin bit down a little on her clit, not enough to harm her, but enough to make her squirm hard as he resumed flicking his tongue over her swollen button. It did the trick.

Spitfire let loose a hoarse shriek as the mixture of pain and pleasure made her cum, her entire body tensing up for a moment as the pressure reached breaking point. Sorain’s cheek was splashed with a small squirt of her juices that slowly trickled down her stomach, some of it even landing on her own cheek. She bit her lip hard and winced as she came.

Soarin was at first a bit taken aback by Spitfire’s screaming, but it didn’t stop him from finishing what he’d started. He let go of her clit and started messily lapping at the juices flowing out of her, gently lowering her body down.

Spitfire soon recovered from her orgasm. With half closed eyes she looked down to see Soarin still licking gently at her cunt, sucking on her outer lips trying to get the last drops of juice off of her. He stopped once he noticed Spitfire looking at him.

“So, how was it?” he asked.

“Well, it was okay, not the best I’ve had, but still adequate,” she said with a smile. Soarin looked a little glum, hoping she’d be more satisfied. “But you do get an A for effort. Now, stop being so down and come on, there’s one more thing we need to do,” Spitfire said, flicking her tail a little.

Rolling of the bed and putting her forehooves on it, she motioned for Soarin to follow, which he eagerly did. His erection pulsed as he moved around Spitfire; it almost hurt. Finally he found himself right behind her, Spitfire flicking her tail out of the way to exposed her still dripping, winking cunt to him. She glanced back with a glint in her eye.

“Alright rookie, this is it,” she said, putting on a bit of her attitude from the Wonderbolt’s training camp, “You’ve proven yourself capable enough, so it’s time to see how you handle yourself when it comes to the real deal. Come on now, mount me,” she said seductively, wiggling her rump at him, her flame colored tail swinging back and forth over her opening.

Wasting no time, Soarin eagerly reared up, practically jumping onto Spitfire’s back, grabbing her with his powerful forehooves.

“Whoa, whoa, easy now,” Spitfire said with a chuckle, “Don’t go and blow your load before we’re even started. Take it slow, it’s not a race,” she continued, feeling his throbbing dick poking at her inner thigh. “Now, go a little bit higher.”

Soarin did as he was told, moving his dick upwards, the tip sliding over Spitfire’s slit. He could feel the heat radiating from it. “Like this?” he asked.

“A little higher…a little more,” Spitfire said as she guided him. Her eyes suddenly went wide. “Hello! That’s a little too high!”

“What, did I do something wrong?” Soarin asked cautiously.

“You’re poking my ass, silly,” Spitfire said playfully.

“Oh, sorry about that.”

“It’s okay big guy, who knows, maybe I’ll let you try that one too sometime,” Spitfire said, a drop of sweat running down her neck.

“You mean that?”

“We’ll see, now stop talking and get going already!” Spitfire said, guiding Soarin into position. “Alright, now just ease it in there, and don’t stop, I want the whole thing, every inch of it,” Spitfire said. “And don’t start humping until I say so, don’t wanna blow your load too soon.”

“But…” Soarin hesitated a bit, “What if I’m no good at this?”

Spitfire sighed. “It’s your first time, stupid. Don’t worry about it, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.”

With that, Soarin leaned forward, pressing his throbbing dick against Spitfire’s opening, stifling a gasp as he parted her lips, pushing himself into her. He panted heavily as he pushed deep into Spitfire’s moist tunnel, feeling it grip around his dick as he went deeper until he bottomed out. His body shook a little as he stood for a moment, getting used to the warm sensation.

“You’re trembling,” Spitfire said, feeling Soarin’s hot breath against the nape of her neck.

“Can’t…help it. Celestia damn it, this feels good,” Soarin said, panting.

“Well, it’s about to feel a whole lot better. Now, just go slow, don’t want to-“ Spitfire’s words were cut of as Soarin pulled back a bit before slamming into her with a powerful thrust. “Nevermind…” Spitfire mumbled as Soarin started humping her. He didn’t take it slow like she’d told him, but she wouldn’t hold it against him, and Spitfire decided to just go along for the ride, hoping he’d make it last just a little. She winced a little as her tunnel was stretched again and again, and despite not getting a whole lot of pure pleasure out of it she still liked it. It’d been quite a while since she’d been with somepony, and it felt good to being penetrated again. She laid her head down against the soft mattress as Soarin slammed into her again, biting her lip a little.

Soarin was lost in pure bliss as he furiously humped Spitfire, the heat and wetness of her cunt driving him crazy. He breathed fast, pulling his dick back only to slam it back in again, the feeling of her flesh tightening around it driving him. He’d imagined how it’d feel many times in his life, but the real thing beat all his fantasies by miles. It was a little hard finding a rhythm, gyrating his hips was also a new thing, but he felt he was doing pretty good. Spitfire moaning beneath him made him feel proud. Her cunt was grabbing around his dick like a wrench, his thick pole filling her up as he kept pumping. He pressed his forehooves into Spitfire’s sides in an awkward attempt at a loving embrace, his hot breath causing the small hairs on her neck to move back and forth. Spitfire giggled a little at the ticklish sensation.

Spitfire lay there and took it. She kept biting her lower lip, leaving small teeth marks in the flesh. She was sweating, her back feeling completely drenched around the area where Soarin was grinding himself against her. She panted fast, as each thrust from Soarin took the air out of her, stretching her love tunnel like she’d never experienced before. Sure she’d been with other stallions, many of them a lot bigger than Soarin, but none had ever given her this particular kind of sensation before. Maybe it was because he’d been a virgin up until this point, that he’d never been given the chance to develop any finer skill, and compensated for it by screwing like there was no tomorrow. Even though he wasn’t the best, right now he was just what she needed. A shiver running through her body snapped Spitfire out of her thoughts, brought on by the wet sensation of Soarin’s tongue going over her neck, followed by him nibbling at her skin. She winced as he bit down, grabbing a sizeable piece of her neck skin in his mouth. It hurt, but in a good way. She could almost see herself getting into this sort of thing.

Soarin didn’t know why he’d just bit Spitfire. He’d just planned to lick her, but instead, something deep inside his mind had driven him to go further. He kept furiously ramming into her, with each thrust he found himself pushing hard with his hind legs, pressing his dick upwards into Spitfire, forcing her to move closer to the bed until only her rump and hind legs were still on the floor. He put his forehooves against the mattress and kept going, feeling his nethers going tingly and warm. He knew he wouldn’t be able to hold it in for long.

“S-Spitfire…I, I think I’m gonna…” Soarin panted.

“Not yet, keep going just a little longer, please…” Spitfire shot back, trying to encourage him. She smirked a bit at her cruelty, forcing him to hold his orgasm back. With any other stallion, she would’ve let them blow their load when they were ready, but not with Soarin. First, he was a Wonderbolt, and thus he was expected to be able to pull off things which nopony else could. Second, she wanted some payback at him for his little performance on the couch earlier. He hadn’t been able to hold back then, and she wanted to see if he’d do it now.

“O-Okay, I’ll…t-try, Soarin said and kept humping. With his body going a little numb it was getting harder for him to go fast, as with every stroke he risked blowing his load, forcing him to slow down a bit. His hind legs wobbled a bit, and several times he almost stumbled backwards. He flapped his wings a little to cool down, a chill washing over his sweaty body. His mind was solely focused on not cumming, but fighting nature was hard, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to do this. Spitfire’s tight cunt was clamping around his dick, her warm flesh pulsating, threatening to milk him dry. The warmth of her cunt was becoming too much for poor Soarin. His panting grew harder and more rapid by the second, a thin strand of drool making its way out of the corner of his mouth as he fought the urge to cum, but by now it was a losing battle.

“I can’t…I can’t do it, Spitfire,” he said almost pleadingly. “Please let me cum.”

Deciding he’d had enough punishment for one day, Spitfire smiled and glanced back. “Okay, but pull out first,” she said.

“Okay...” Soarin said and stepped back, his diamond hard member sliding out of Spitfire, glistening with her juices. Spitfire took a quick glance at it. His dick was practically pulsating, every vein in it pumping to the beat of Soarin’s heart, threatening to explode any second.

Spitfire rolled over on her back and spread her legs. “I want to see your face when you do it,” she said, “Now come here and fill me up will you!”

Soarin didn’t need more encouragement than that. With the energy of a colt on a sugar rush he plunged back into Spitfire, causing her to gasp as he once again filled her up. Soarin’s eyes went wide, it was even better the second time around, as his member had been allowed to cool down a bit, making the warm sensation of her cunt all the more fantastic. He humped her hard for another thirty or so seconds before the burning in his balls became unbearable.

“I’m gonna blow…I’m not gonna be able to hold back,” he said with a slightly pained expression. “Where do you want it, in or out?”

“In... I want you to fill me up with every fucking drop you’ve got…don’t worry about anything, just do it!” she said, pulling him into a kiss, their tongues instantly locking with each other. That pushed Soarin over the edge.

With one final thrust, Soarin stopped deep inside Spitfire as his cockhead swelled up, unleashing a torrent of cum into her. He moaned loudly into the kiss as spurt after spurt of hot semen fired from his dick, coating the insides of Spitfire’s tunnel, some of it dripping out of her onto the mattress. Being his second orgasm in a short while, Soarin felt like he was being utterly drained. He kept trying to hump Spitfire while he came, forcing out as much of his cum as possible.

Spitfire moaned as Soarin filled her up. A warm, sticky feeling that spread throughout her nether region, inside and out as she felt small droplets make their way out of her, running down her ass and tail. While she hadn’t cum herself, she felt a bit spent. She lay her head back, dragging Soarin down with her, never breaking the kiss. She felt the small thrust he made as he tried getting the last bits of cum out of himself. After about twenty seconds or so his member softened inside her and he started to pull out. Spitfire gave a small sigh when his still swollen cockhead popped out of her, along with a small gush of his cum that left a large patch on the cloud floor. Finally breaking the kiss, Soarin rolled off of her, lying next to her on the bed panting heavily, his flaccid member resting on his belly for a moment before retreating back into his body. He glanced over to Spitfire’s, his green eyes met by her golden brown ones, followed by a warm smile.

“How do you feel, Soarin?” she asked softly.

“That…was…amazing,” Soarin said, panting between each word, “What about you?”

“Well, it was okay,” Spitfire said with a smirk. Soarin looked a little glum.

“Oh, well...I tried my best-“ Spitfire put a hoof on his lips, silencing him.

“Hey, it was your first time, you can’t expect to be the best right out of the gate. I had a good time, let’s leave it at that,” Spitfire said and shuffled closer, cuddling up against Soarin, listening to his heart still beating fast inside of him, his chest heaving as he caught his breath. “Besides, there will be time to work on that later.”

They lay in bed together for a long time, neither saying anything. Outside, the sun had begun to settle, casting the fields of Equestria in bright orange light, some of it slipping in through the window of Soarin’s bedroom, bathing the two pegasi in warmth.

“Hey, Soarin, can I ask you something?” Spitfire said, still leaning on his chest.

“Go ahead.”

“What’s with the kicking?”

“What?”

“You know, back at the couch, I kissed you on the stomach and your leg kicked all by itself,” Spitfire said, turning her head to look at Soarin.

“Oh that…Well, mom used to do that to me when I was a kid.”

“Your mom used to give you blowjobs?” Spitfire asked jokingly.

Soarin chuckled. “No, but she used to kiss my stomach like that, and for some reason it made my leg twitch. Nearly kicked her in the snout once when I was two,” he added, sighing.

Spitfire snickered a bit, picturing a miniature Soarin in her mind, as well as other foals, with the two of them surrounded by-no! They’d only been together twice, and foals were the last thing she wanted on her mind.

“That’s cute. I bet you were a real looker as a kid,” Spitfire said, nuzzling his cheek.

“Not really, mom always complains how fat I look in every picture of me. It was her fault for practically raising me on pie, and…” he trailed of as Spitfire planted a small kiss on his lips.

“Hm, shut up, Soarin, you’re ruining the moment,” Spitfire said after breaking the kiss. She wrapped her forelegs around his neck, nuzzling into his fur. That feeling came over her again, she felt safe again. Bathed in the orange sunlight, in bed with a stallion she felt she could hang on to, plus somepony that with a little bit of training could be made into a real winner in the sack, yes, things were shaping up pretty good for her she thought.

They laid there as the sun set, turning the clouds pink.

“So, Spitfire, what’re you doing this Friday?” Soarin asked. Spitfire chuckled a little.

“Well, we have training for the performance at the Coliseum next week. And I’m not gonna go easy on you just because you’re screwing me, I might add,” Spitfire said in a rather stern tone.

Soarin groaned.

Things that go bump in the night

Spitfire groaned and twisted around, her wings tangling up in the blankets covering her. Drifting in and out, she twisted around, trying to get back to deep sleep with no success. Scooting backwards, her eyes went wide as something warm and fuzzy brushed against her; she felt a hot breath against the nape of her neck accompanied by a slight snoring. Without looking at him, Spitfire pulled one of Soarin’s forelegs around her and relaxed in the simple feeling of him holding her. His body reacting instinctively to the touch, Soarin pulled her closer in his sleep, burrowing his muzzle deep into her mane, no doubt taking in her scent.

Spitfire smiled as she glanced around the room, the memories of their afternoon together washing over her, making her giggle softly. Inhaling deep through her nostrils, Spitfire stifled a cough; the smell of musk still clung to the air, probably having gotten to the point where it’d get stuck in the walls, though Spitfire couldn’t bring herself to care. Instead she moved her hindquarters close to his, brushing the base of her tail against Soarin’s nethers. Soarin groaned in his sleep and ground his hips against hers, pulling her closer with his hooves until Spitfire was locked in a loving embrace. Snickering, Spitfire held one of his hooves and brushed her muzzle over it, the coarse fur tickling her snout as she did.

She glanced around the room again, the moonlight streaming in through the window bathing everything in a soothing blue light. The corners where the light didn’t reach were covered in perpetual darkness. A shiver traveled down her spine and she gulped, wanting to pull away and not have to look at it. It frightened her. It wasn’t something she’d be willing to admit, especially not to anypony who knew her personally, but something about the dark scared her. Watching it, she felt like she stood on the edge of a mighty abyss, an endless darkness threatening to swallow her up if she got to close, and just like that all her fierce courage vanished, leaving behind a frightened filly where once there had been a mare.

She forced her eyes shut and buried her face into the blankets, not wanting to look at it any longer. Rolling around and causing Soarin to groan, she buried herself into his chest, pressing her head against it, listening to his soft breathing and heartbeat. Gradually her shivers died down as the warmth of the blankets and Soarin’s body washed over her, forming a protective aura around her that she knew couldn’t be broken. Her eyelids slowly grew heavy again as she watched the sleeping stallion holding her, his face completely calm as he twisted a little, moving a hoof up her neck and head, coming to a stop at her ear. His hoof weighed a little on her face as he slowly began moving the tip over her ear, flapping and tugging at it. Spitfire smiled and looked tiredly at her lover, for a moment picturing him as a little colt cuddling up with his mother as he kept playing with her ear.

Pulling the blanket over both of them, Spitfire curled up best she could next to Soarin without breaking the embrace. Her vision blurred, making her blink several times. Despite her wanting nothing more than to fall asleep, something within her was holding her back. Every time she drifted off she forced her eyes open once again, a bad feeling washing over her that she couldn’t explain. She carefully lifted Soarin’s hoof off of her face, shivering as the air made contact with the spot where he’d been, and rolled over on her back, staring at the ceiling through half closed eyes. Beside her, Soarin twisted and shifted in his sleep, rubbing his hoof over her stomach and pressing down on it, though she hardly noticed him. Her eyes focused on the cloud above her, the moonlight coming in from the window bathing her upper body in its light. Spitfire lifted a hoof towards the ceiling, drawing an invisible circle in the air as Soarin’s breathing caused the fur on her chest to move back and forth.

Something just wasn’t right about the situation, though Spitfire couldn’t, for the life of her, figure out what it was. She wasn’t sad, that much she knew, in fact these last few days had turned out better than she’d thought they would, and yet something about lying in bed with Soarin like this made a knot form in her stomach. Spitfire shook her head violently, electing another groan from Soarin. This just wasn’t working, but she wasn’t about to lose a whole night’s sleep over it, whatever was plaguing her could wait until morning. Sliding back into Soarin’s embrace, she tried closing her eyes and force herself to sleep. But as she did, Soarin once again pressed his hooves against her stomach and squeezed her tightly, causing an all too familiar pressure to build in Spitfire’s nethers.

“Oh great, guess that one can’t wait ‘til morning,” Spitfire mumbled, making her way out of bed.

*** *** ***

Stepping out into the darkened hallway, Spitfire shrugged, her feathers rustled. The whole house lay in almost complete darkness, pierced only by the strong moonlight coming in from the large windows, creating a sharp contrast between light and dark. She couldn’t hear any sounds, no ticking of clocks or dripping of water; just a deafening silence throughout the entire house, broken only by the puffy sound of her hooves against the cloud floors. The moonlight intensified a bit, lighting up the hallway before her. Spitfire sighed in relief, her fear of the dark slowly diminishing. At least now she could see where she was going. She mentally facehoofed over not having just awoken Soarin and asked where the bathroom was, but yet again her stubbornness and pride had gotten the better of her, and she wasn’t about to go back up and admit defeat. Besides, the house wasn’t that big, surely finding the bathroom would be a piece of cake. But she’d have to find it fast. Now that she was actually aware of her predicament, Spitfire forced herself to cross her back legs constantly, holding back the urge. Sure, she could’ve just gone then and there, then replaced the cloud floor with some fresh ones from outside, but that was out of the question. She wasn’t about to let her own body win over her like that, she wasn’t a foal anymore, and she gave herself a little smack on the cheek for even considering it.

Steeling herself, Spitfire made her way towards the living room, passing quickly through the dark areas, eyes constantly twitching and looking, making sure everything was okay. As she made her way into the large room she relaxed a bit, her body becoming bathed in Luna’s moonlight. A small but noticeable rush made its way throughout her body, her fears suddenly seeming a little less fearsome, as if the moon was powering her up and bolstering her courage. Spitfire smiled up at the lunar body and gave it a wink.

“Thank’s, Luna, I needed that,” Spitfire said silently, before crossing her hind legs again, her entire backside clenching up, “Now if you’ll excuse me…” she added, quickly trotting towards the door, praying to the princesses that there’d be a bathroom somewhere there. For a moment she contemplated going in the yard behind the house, but once again she shook the thought out of her head.

She entered the hall practically tap-dancing, sweat running down her forehead as her eyes darted around. She bit her lip. The hallway wasn’t as well lit, only a small stream of light coming in from a circular window on the door. Eyes darting around madly she finally spotted a door with a small heart-shaped sign hanging from it. Praying to Celestia that it wasn’t just a broom closet, Spitfire almost sent the door flying off its hinges as she entered and turned on the light. She was met by the sight of a shower, a sink, and in the corner, thankfully, the porcelain throne she so desperately sought. Not wasting a nanosecond, Spitfire plonked her ass down on the cold surface, a shiver running up her spine as she did, her mouth forming like an “O”, her back hairs standing on high end. She didn’t dwell on it though, as nature took its course, the pressure in her stomach finally diminishing as she let herself go.

Her tongue rolled out of her mouth as a satisfied smile spread across her lips, her mane a complete mess as she leaned backwards against the cold porcelain. If there was anything that could almost top an orgasm, this was it, and Spitfire was willing to bet bits that any other pony would agree. Panting heavily, she strained her body a little, forcing her stream to increase in power, creating a powerful sloshing sound below her.

Her stream died down after roughly thirty seconds, making Spitfire close her eyes and sigh heavily. She panted heavily and glanced up at the ceiling, her eyes closing halfway as a newfound sleepiness washed over her. Having finally gotten rid of her nightly torment, Spitfire could think of nothing better than curling up next to her stallion and fall asleep in his hooves. With a yawn she jumped of the seat and flushed, then headed for the sink. Turning the water on, she started washing her hooves. She caught a look of herself in the mirror and snickered at the sight of her frazzled mane. In her sleepy state she’d neglected to dry her hooves, and now, leaning against the sink, one of them slipped against the porcelain. Her head crashed forward right into the mirror, shaking the cabinet it was attached to. Spitfire yelped, rubbing her forehead and wincing angrily.

“Dammit, good going there, Spitfire, now you probably cracked the fucking glass too,” she swore to herself as she looked at her hoof. No blood, luckily enough, but looking at herself in the mirror she noticed a small blue spot starting to form. The mirror itself was virtually undamaged, aside from a very small crack in the glass that Spitfire barely noticed. While the outside looked fine, Spitfire still worried about the inside. She’d bumped the cabinet pretty hard, making her afraid that maybe she’d done some damage to the insides. She opened the cabinet, the mirror swinging outwards. Normally she wouldn’t dare going through somepony’s private stuff like this, but opening the cabinet she suddenly found herself under minor assault of said items. Bottles, small containers and an assortment of knick-knacks fell out of the cabinet, causing Spitfire to stumble and fall back on her haunches, though being that the floor was still made of cloud, she didn’t hurt herself. The last thing to fall out was a small orange bottle with a white lid that hit Spitfire right between the eyes.

“Great, now you probably woke up the whole neighborhood,” Spitfire groaned as she got up. Knowing she couldn’t leave this mess behind she started picking up the scattered items, putting them back in the cabinet. She knew she’d probably have to explain to Soarin what happened once he noticed his organization had been disturbed, but she trusted he wouldn’t linger on it. And if he did, there was always the option of just lifting her tail for him and he’d forget all about it.

It didn’t take her long to stuff the items back into the cabinet, and the only thing finally remaining was the little bottle that hit her in the head. Picking it up, Spitfire swallowed a little, a feeling of unease slipped back into her mind and a knot formed in her stomach once again. Holding it against the light, Spitfire noticed a small assortment of pills inside the bottle. Her unease grew as she, against her better judgment, opened it. Spitfire looked down at several blue capsules that looked almost like candy, although she knew all too well they weren’t. Swallowing again, she looked over the bottle, trying to find some kind of label, but to no avail. Either there was none, or Soarin had peeled it off.

“Alright, Spitfire, calm down, for all you know he might just have a stomach problem or something,” Spitfire said to herself, taking deep breaths and putting the lid back on. She put the bottle back among the others and turned to leave, only to glance back. Biting her lip hard, she opened the cabinet again; the bottle of pills stared back at her, almost like it was taunting her. This wasn’t good. Mentally beating herself over the head for it, Spitfire grabbed the bottle again and took out one of the pills, stuffing it into her mane. She then put the bottle back into its place. She didn’t feel good about herself for doing this; but she was hoping and praying that her fears were unjustified, and that the pills were completely harmless.

Then again, there weren’t any guarantees to that, for all she knew Soarin was getting pumped up behind her back... No! She violently shook her head, not wanting to think about it. She didn’t want to even consider such a thing, especially about him. Things had gone so well up to this point, and Spitfire wasn’t going to let her fears get the better of her again. Swallowing hard and taking a few deep breaths, Spitfire closed the cabinet, taking one last look at herself in the mirror. It was nothing, she told herself, forming the words silently on her lips. She said it, but part of her still wouldn’t believe it, and she made a mental note to herself to check the pill against the medical records just to be on the safe side.

Swallowing hard once more she turned off the lights and closed the bathroom door, leaving her once again in the darkness. And this time it felt worse. A lot worse. The trek back through the house suddenly became a long hallway shrouded in darkness.

Making her way through the house once more, the weight of what she’d just done came down on her hard, making her stop several times and glance backwards. She really wanted to go and put the pill back with the others, but knowing herself, she wasn’t about to let that happen. This wasn’t just about them being lovers anymore, much to her dismay. As a captain of the Wonderbolts she needed to know if one of her team members were clean. The Wonderbolts weren’t exclusive to Cloudsdale, having divisions spread out all over Equestria, and held a good reputation of being the best. That meant no fixers or steroids, just good honest training, and Spitfire would rather give up her power of flight than to see the organization’s name tainted by a doped up flyer. Especially if said doped up flyer also happened to be the stallion she loved.

Shaking her head free of bad thoughts, Spitfire made her way back upstairs after what seemed like an eternity and quietly entered the bedroom. Soarin still slept like a log, having rolled over in his sleep and ended up in Spitfire’s spot. He’d managed to kick off the blanket and was squirming in place, trying to get warm. Spitfire smiled and grabbed the blanket in her teeth, pulling it over him, before slipping under it along with him, embracing his powerful form.

For a moment she just lay there, feeling his chest move up and down, nice and easy. At that moment in time she was willing to forget her fears and just enjoy herself, not caring about her little discovery in the bathroom, and just take in the fact that she finally had somepony in her life who wasn’t going to leave the next morning. She buried her muzzle into his mane, the soft hairs brushing over her snout and a faint smell of apples penetrating her nostrils. Her eyelids started growing heavy again despite the moonlight still shining through the window, her vision becoming blurred as sleepiness washed over her like a warm blanket. Before sleep took her completely, Spitfire leaned over Soarin’s sleeping face and lightly pecked his cheek. It didn’t matter what problems he might have, for that moment in time, Spitfire settled for just having him, nothing more, nothing less. Barely able to keep them open anymore, Spitfire closed her eyes, allowing the darkness to take her.

“ZZZZ….”

Spitfire’s eyes shot open.

“Oh for fuck’s sake, Soarin.”

THe morning after and the days to come

The morning after and the days to come

Spitfire rolled around in bed as the morning sun crept through the window, and into her eyes. Wherever she turned, a bright orange blinded her. Finally she couldn’t take it any more. Sitting up, she stretched her wings and yawned. She had no idea how she’d managed to sleep through Soarin’s snoring, but one thing was certain; she hadn’t gotten nearly enough.

Turning around she found Soarin looking up at her through equally sleepy eyes. She gave him a warm smile, as the memories of yesterday came flooding back.

“How long have you been there?” she asked.

“Mmm, long enough. Sleep well?” he said and yawned.

“Not really. I don’t know if anypony’s ever told you, but you snore like an earth pony,” Spitfire said, laying back down and snuggling up close to him, “In fact, I could barely sleep at all,” she said, bumping his nose.

Soarin blushed slightly. “Well, when you’re single you really don’t know about stuff like that. Sorry,” he said as Spitfire put a hoof to his lips.

“Relax big guy, I’m not angry with ya,” she said and pulled his hoof over her. Soarin obliged and hugged Spitfire close. For a minute or so they just lay in bed together, basking in the early morning sun. Their breaths turned to puffs of steam in the cold air around them, not an uncommon thing for pegasi since they tended to live above the clouds.

“So how long have you been up?” Spitfire asked without looking at him.

Soarin just stared at the ceiling. “I just had to use the bathroom real quick, I didn’t want you to wake up alone in a strange place. To be honest I was a little shocked at first to find you here, for a moment I thought I’d just dreamt about yesterday,” he said.

“Really? Well, I can assure you, it most certainly happened,” Spitfire said with a playful smile, stroking Soarin’s chin.

“That would explain the pain,” Soarin said.

“What pain? Did I hurt you or something?”

“I don’t know if it was you specifically, but when I got up this morning my hind legs hurt like hell. Could barely walk.”

Spitfire snickered, making Soarin turn his head. “What’s so funny?”

“Oh nothing, you’re just bearing the signs of a job well done, that’s all,” Spitfire said and pecked his nose.

“I don’t think I get you,” Soarin said, cocking an eyebrow.

“You did stuff yesterday that your body wasn’t used to. You had to use your legs in ways they aren’t accustomed to, so there’s no mystery why they hurt. It’s like your first training session, your wings hurt like mad the day after, remember?”

Soarin groaned as he thought back to his time training for the Wonderbolts.

“Yeah, I remember. Only difference is that back then I didn’t get to wake up next to a beautiful mare. Instead I shared a bunk bed with a fat pegasus who took top,” Soarin said as Spitfire grabbed his head, looking him in the eye.

“Well, that was then, this is now,” she said and hugged him again. “So how was it last night? Did I live up to your expectations?”

“It was amazing…although I will admit, I thought I’d be able to last longer,” Soarin said, nuzzling Spitfire’s chest.

Spitfire sighed. “Look, it was your first time. Don’t worry, by the time I’m done with you, you’ll be fucking like a champ. I’ll see to it myself,” Spitfire said playfully, slowly moving a hoof down Soarin’s stomach towards his nethers.

“W-what’re you doing?” Soarin asked, rather surprised by the sudden touch.

“Ever heard about the ‘morning after’,” Spitfire responded, moving her hoof in circles on Soarin’s stomach. Her body felt hot against his, no doubt from lying under the covers for so long. “Now hush and kiss me,” she added, pulling Soarin in. He happily obliged, closing his eyes as their lips connected. They started out mouths closed, but soon enough Spitfire felt Soarin’s tongue brush over her lips. She opened her mouth, allowing him full access as his tongue darted into her mouth, finding hers. Their tongues swirled around each other sloppily. They could both taste the morning breath of the other, but they were too lost in their newfound passion to care.

Spitfire slowly moved her hoof down his body until she bumped into something warm and slightly sticky. Soarin had already unsheathed, his member now rock hard and awaiting Spitfire’s touch. She pulled away from the kiss and smiled at him.

“Looks like your body decided to start ahead of you,” Spitfire said, lifting the covers slightly. Glancing at him, she found Soarin avoiding her gaze. “What’s wrong? I’ve already seen it a bunch of times; there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Soarin blushed slightly. “I guess I’m just not used to it yet.”

“Well, guess I’ll have to make you used to it then,” Spitfire said, giving him a quick kiss, before moving downwards under the blankets.

Soarin’s body still hurt from yesterday’s activities, and Spitfire’s touch sent mixtures of pain and pleasure throughout his being with each kiss and nibble. The weight of her body pressing against him was almost overbearing, pressing down on his aching form and making his rib cage feel like it was about to collapse. Feeling the hard edges of Spitfire’s hooves digging into his made Soarin grind teeth in sheer pain, but he wouldn’t stop her as she made her way towards his hot nethers, his erection begging for her attention.

But as she made her way down below his balls, Spitfire suddenly stopped for a moment before rising up, throwing off the blanket in the process. Her pupils shrunk to little dots and her nostrils flared, her hair almost curling up.

“W-what’s wrong?” Soarin asked before meeting Spitfire’s glare.

“You. Into the shower. Right. Now!”

*** *** ***

Hot water hissed over Soarin’s aching body, making him wince, almost forcing him out of the shower stall in the upstairs bathroom. Grinding his teeth he fought through the burning and looked at the dial on the knob; it was as cold as it could get, and yet it felt like he was being boiled alive. He slowly started scrubbing his coat, building up a nice lather. He hadn’t noticed it before, but the sex from the day before in combination with a night’s sleep in a warm bed had left a slight odor on him, and he certainly wasn’t berating Spitfire for not wanting to take him until he was at least somewhat clean.

While Soarin worked to get the smell off of himself, Spitfire took care of her own business in the bathroom, having borrowed an extra toothbrush from Soarin.

Sticking his head under the running water, Soarin allowed his mane to soak and plaster itself over his neck. He sighed in relief as the water finally reached tolerable temperatures, allowing him to just stand and relax.

“Hey, Soarin, you got any dental floss?” Spitfire asked.

“Middle shelf in the cabinet, hope you don’t mind non-flavored,” he responded.

“I actually prefer it that way,” Spitfire said and opened the cabinet. As she did, a flashback from earlier that night came to her, as she found herself looking for any more pills. There were none however, the only ones were probably down in the other bathroom.

“Hey, by the way, did you wake up sometime during the night?” came Soarin’s voice, snapping Spitfire out of her thoughts.

“Uh, yeah, I had to pee. Why?”

“Just wondering. I noticed this morning that there was a crack in the mirror, you know anything about that?”

Spitfire froze. He’d noticed that? Her heart sank like a stone in water. Figuring that he’d probably noticed the mess inside the cabinet, she steeled herself for the worst.

“Yes, I managed to bump my head in the mirror,” Spitfire said in a somewhat defeated tone. Soarin opened the glass door and peeked out.

“Oh, you didn’t hurt yourself, I hope?”

“No…Well, I got a scratch, but nothing major,” Spitfire said.

“Oh good, for a moment I thought things had gone really bad.”

“So, you’re not mad about me crashing your mirror on my first visit?”

“Mmm, a little, maybe, but I was going to replace that mirror anyway, so it’s no biggie,” Soarin said and poured some soap onto his hoof, lathering up his body. “Ouch…dammit…”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m just hurting from yesterday is all…hey, wanna come inside and help me wash my back? It’s gonna be a bit hard to reach…” Soarin said in the best playful tone he could. Spitfire instantly forgot about her worries and opened the door, taking a step into the shower before backing out.

“What the hell, how cold do you shower?” Spitfire said, shivering slightly.

“Oh, right, sorry about that,” Soarin said with a chuckle and turned the dial up, his body having grown accustomed to the water, though he still winced as it heated up. Spitfire waited a moment before stepping into the stall, Soarin making as much room for her as he could muster without merging with the wall. After a bit of struggling and maneuvering they both had enough room to move inside the stall, and Spitfire poured a generous amount of soap into her hooves, going to work on Soarin’s back. Her stallion winced through gritted teeth as Spitfire rubbed the base of his wings, going down his back with her hooves to softly massage his flanks. Even the slightest touch sent a jolt of pain throughout him, but the same touch brought on a relaxing sensation that was worth the hurt.

Spitfire took the opportunity to really feel up Soarin, slowly working her hooves over his muscles, pressing on every bump and going into every crevice. He certainly was well-built for somepony who ate as many sweets as he did. Spitfire guessed he probably got a lot of exercise in between all the pies. His flight muscles were most impressive to say the least, the base of his wings being almost as thick as her foreleg, but he still had an ample amount of fat on his body, giving her the impression of lathering up a large stuffed animal. She snickered at the thought and moved closer, pressing her muzzle against his wet mane, warm water running over her face as the fresh smell of soap filled her nostrils.

She kept massaging his sides, eliciting a snicker from Soarin which she ignored, and kept feeling him up. His sides were soft and slick from her rubbing and the water streaming over them both. Slowly she moved her hooves around him until they met at the other side, going up over his chest towards his neck. Spitfire moaned into his wet mane as her hooves passed over his chest. Feeling the speeding beats of his heart, Spitfire knew he was getting off on the treatment, and decided to finish what she’d started in bed earlier.

On his end, Soarin could barely focus as his body drifted between pain and pleasure. Spitfire massaging his sore body had become utterly heavenly, and even when she pressed too hard on certain spots he didn’t voice any discomfort. It was a strange feeling for sure, but Soarin slowly started looking forward to the next time she’d reach a sensitive spot. Though it hurt, it was a good kind of pain, one he could see himself getting used to, maybe even something he could get into. While he’d never seen himself as being into some of the more kinky sides of sex, that image of himself melted away as Spitfire pressed right below his rib cage, the sudden jolt of pain almost causing him to scream outright. Instead he steeled himself and kept to a wince.

“Mmm, did I hurt you?” Spitfire asked without taking her muzzle out of Soarin’s mane.

“Mhmm, no, just keep going, it feels damn good,” Soarin said as the pain subdued.

Spitfire obeyed, rubbing her hooves back down over his stomach towards his crotch. Steam built around them, heating up their already warm bodies. The water kept pouring over them as Spitfire felt something holding her hoof back.

“What’s wrong?”

“Ehm, if you’re gonna do it down there, use that instead,” Soarin said, pointing to a different bottle of soap. “It’s easier on those areas,” he added.

Spitfire smiled deviously. “Oh my, I didn’t know you cared so much. For a single guy you’re surprisingly considerate about yourself,” she said with a chuckle and gave his ass a firm smack, electing a yelp from Soarin. She did as he asked, however, quickly washing the soap of her hooves and grabbing the other bottle, pouring a rather generous amount into both hooves and started working his lower body until a nice lathering had once again built up. Moving down she finally found her target, as the soft fur gave way to naked skin made all the more slippery by the water. He hadn’t unsheathed yet, which struck Spitfire as a little odd, but nevertheless she went to work, rubbing her soaped hooves around his sheath and down over his balls. She took care not to accidentally smack his crown jewels, though she still got a squeak out of him as she cupped one of them, moving her hoof around it before letting it drop as she went to work on the other.

Soarin panted heavily from the treatment of his precious orbs. Trusting that Spitfire wouldn’t try and hurt him he slowly kneeled down as the standing started becoming uncomfortable, Spitfire following his motions without a word. The soft treatment quickly took effect, as his cock slid out, becoming semi-erect in no time. Spitfire took notice and moved away from his balls, focusing her attention on his growing erection. Soarin gasped as she took the semi-hard dick into her hooves.

“Mmm, you like touching my privates, don’t you, Spitfire?” Soarin said with a grin, grabbing hold of one of her hooves, stroking it against his slick dick.

“Heh, you say it almost like it was a bad thing,” Spitfire responded, licking Soarin’s neck. “Now why don’t you show me how you usually handle this thing,” she added playfully, giving his cock a few swift strokes.

“Just keep going like that…ah,” Soarin moaned as Spitfire jacked him off, hot water running in small rivers over his stomach and down over the base of his dick. He leaned his head back against Spitfire’s shoulder, stroking his cheek against hers. She licked his wet cheek. Soarin took the hint and turned his head, leaning into an awkwardly positioned, but nevertheless passionate kiss, their tongues locking immediately. They parted after a minute or so to catch their breaths, before resuming. Spitfire wrestled her tongue around his, having more experience from previous relationships, catching Soarin of guard.

She never let go of his cock, stroking continuously as they made out. She alternated between hard, fast strokes that sent Soarin speeding towards an orgasm, only to slow down just as he was about to cum and play with his balls or just give his cock a long stroke. She never allowed him to go limp, and the moment his flesh felt just a little soft she’d jack harder. She took the time to feel him up too, touching on every vein running up his cock. His sensitive flesh twitched with every little touch, threatening to unload with each passing second.

Spitfire broke the kiss again. “Against the wall,” she said.

“W-what?” Soarin said before Spitfire pulled him backwards, pushing his back against the cold wall, electing a yelp from him.

“That’s enough warm-up for ya, it’s time I finished what I started,” Spitfire said, bumping his cock with a hoof, “Now listen, I know you’re close, but if you can last more than five minutes I’ll let you do something real special. If you fail, you’ll be punished, understood?”

Spitfire didn’t wait for Soarin’s answer, as she splashed some water onto his cock to get the soap of. She hungrily went down on him, taking his entire dick into her mouth until her nose pressed against the base.

Soarin gasped and reared back, almost hitting his head in the process. The warmth and tightness of Spitfire’s mouth quickly overwhelmed him. Preventing himself from cumming instantly became a lot harder.

He squirmed and panted, his tongue lolling out of his mouth as Spitfire began sucking on his swollen meat, rolling her tongue over the head, poking his urethra with the tip as pre started dribbling out. She pulled back until only the head was still inside her mouth. Grabbing hold of his cock with her hooves she started jacking it, all while suckling greedily on the head, running her tongue in circles around it.

Spitfire enjoyed watching him suffer. From her spot she could look up and see the pained expressions on Soarin’s face as he fought the urge to cum, his eyes closed as he no doubt tried to focus. She would’ve smiled, had her mouth not been filled to the brim with slick cock. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to keep it up for five minutes, she decided to not postpone the inevitable. She once again took his entire length into her mouth then slid it out again, jacking it hard.

“You’re about to cum, aren’t you?” she said with a smirk.

“Y-yes, I can’t hold it…” Soarin said between gritted teeth.

“And you remember what I said would happen if you failed?”

“Yeah…sorry, I just can’t help it.”

“It’s okay, I won’t punish you too severely, at least not this time,” she said playfully as she felt his dick twitch in her hooves. Watching the head swell up to almost double its size, Spitfire ducked as a powerful squirt of cum shot from his dick, hitting the opposite wall. It was followed closely by another, less powerful shot that landed on the floor behind her. The rest of his load dribbled out in a thick stream, coating his cockhead in a thin layer of white. Soarin slid down the wall until he sat, leaning against it. His heart beat fast, chest heaving up and down from the powerful orgasm.

“Whew…that was ama-“ Soarin’s speech was cut short as Spitfire’s ass was suddenly shoved into his face, his eyes staring right at the base of her tail.

“Quiet, it’s time for your punishment,” Spitfire said in a stern tone, though a smirk on her lips ruining whatever seriousness she was trying to pretend. “Now, since you failed your performance, you’re going to have to make it up to me. And since I just made you cum, I see no reason why you shouldn’t make me do the same. Now lay down, back against the floor,” she commanded.

Soarin did as he was told. Laying down, he didn’t get time to adjust before Spitfire was on top of him again, putting her entire weight over his face, making it hard for him to breathe. Spitfire turned over and looked him in the eye.

“Lick,” she commanded, “You have three minutes to make me cum. Now get started,” she growled, pushing a hoof in Soarin’s side, electing a gasp of pain.

Soarin wasted no time. Sticking his tongue out he instantly found Spitfire’s vagina and buried his flexible muscle in her partially wet folds. His heart started beating faster again, both from the lack of air, but also from the sheer turn-on of Spitfire’s dominant behavior. He breathed through his nostrils, sending cold streams of air against Spitfire’s ass, making her giggle.

“S-stop it, you’re ruining my image,” Spitfire snickered as Soarin’s breath tickled her privates, while his tongue worked its way inside her, tasting her wet flesh and flickering over her clit, making her gasp. She fought to retain her dominance, as she wouldn’t allow herself to let Soarin get to her without even trying. She swallowed hard as Soarin’s tongue brushed over her swollen clit, making her squeeze her hind legs together, electing a moan from Soarin. Realizing that she was fighting a losing battle she figured she might as well make the best of it.

“W-wait, let’s switch position,” she said and stood up, making Soarin gasp as he was freed from her grasp. Leaning against the wall, Spitfire motioned for him to come closer. Reaching his neck up, Soarin continued where he’d left of, grabbing Spitfire around the thighs as he resumed eating her out. Being able to see, Soarin took one of her outer folds into his mouth, sucking the wet flesh as a small dribble of her juices flowed out of her spread pussy and down his neck. The hot water from the shower still hissed over them, steam building up around them and fogging up the glass.

Spitfire moaned silently and put her hooves on Soarin’s head as he went to work on her other fold, stroking his wet mane. Glancing down she noticed he’d once again grown hard, his cock bobbing up and down as he licked her.

“Hey, looks like you’re alive again,” Spitfire said with a smile.

Soarin glanced down. “Mmm, looks like it.”

“Wanna stick it in me? Have a little bit of real fun?” Spitfire said, turning around and presenting her hindquarters to Soarin. He didn’t need to be told twice. Grabbing hold of Spitfire’s waist he hauled himself up, balancing nervously on the slippery floor.

“Got balance?” he asked.

“Just fuck me already,” Spitfire said, pecking him on the mouth. Soarin obeyed, his thick cock swaying back and forth over Spitfire’s entrance. Moving his hips forward he slid into her, gasping as his cock was once again massaged by the tight warm insides of her pussy. He took it slow, trying to enjoy the warmth as much he could. He knew he wouldn’t be able to hold himself long, being only his second time, and wanted to make the most of it.

Spitfire groaned as Soarin’s thick cock once again spread her, her legs wobbling slightly under his weight. His breath felt cold against her wet neck, his body slick and slippery as he ground his belly against her back. His powerful hooves pressed into her sides, sliding under her body towards her teats.

“H-hey, big guy, think you can reach a little further?”

“I’ll try,” Soarin said with a pant, moving forward until he bottomed out. Putting more of his weight on her back, Soarin managed to reach around Spitfire’s belly, but not so far as to touch her.

“Dammit, hold on a sec, Spitfire, I’m gonna sit down. Just follow my lead,” he said. Spitfire followed as Soarin leaned down, never sliding out of her, until he sat with his back against the wall, Spitfire still riding his cock. “There, can you reach it yourself now?”

“Yeah, thanks,” Spitfire said as she slid a hoof down to touch herself, rubbing her clit as Soarin resumed his thrusting. “Mmm, oh yeah, that’s the spot. How’re you doing?”

Soarin groaned, “Not gonna last long...”

“Just hold it for a little bit, I’m so damn close. Let’s try and cum together this time,” Spitfire said.

Soarin kept pumping into her, his body screaming in pain, but he couldn’t stop now. Driven by his instincts he wanted to fill her up with his seed, and despite the burning in his legs he kept thrusting. Spitfire meanwhile was quickly building up to a powerful orgasm, pressure building in her stomach and traveling downwards until the familiar tingle appeared in her loins.

“I’m almost there, just a little longer now,” Spitfire squeaked.

“Hurry, I can’t fight it anymore.”

“Almost…almost…” Spitfire’s nethers leaked fluids as she rubbed furiously, gritting teeth as she fought to finish along with him.

“I can’t take it any longer! I have to cum!” Soarin screamed as the burning in his balls reached breaking point. Realizing they’d both reached their limits, Spitfire leaned backwards and hooked a hoof behind Soarin’s head.

“Then let’s cum together this time,” Spitfire said through gritted teeth and pulled him into a kiss over her shoulder, moaning loudly as her dam finally burst, spraying Soarin’s thighs and balls with her juices. The warm release sent Soarin over the edge as he came deep inside Spitfire, shooting a second heavy load into her tight tunnel. He moaned into the kiss as some of his cum leaked out of Spitfire, running in rivets over his balls as he made small thrusts trying to fill her as much as possible.

Their combined orgasms slowly subduing, Spitfire’s tongue rolled out of her mouth as she leaned back, resting against Soarin’s heaving chest as a mixture of his cum and her own juices trickled out of her still filled up cunt. Panting heavily, she slowly rolled of him, releasing a gush of their mixed juices that spilled over Soarin’s stomach and onto the stall floor.

Soarin’s entire being burnt in excruciating pain, but he ignored it. His brain fought to process it all but came out blank. All he could focus on was breathing. For a moment he forgot Spitfire was even there, until the touch of a hoof against his thigh. He glanced over to see her looking at him contently.

“Some punishment, huh?” she said with a smile.

“Yeah…so what now?”

“Shower, then breakfast? I don’t know about you, but I’m fucking starving,” Spitfire said.

*** *** ***

“Whoa, nice spread,” Spitfire said, eyes going wide at Soarins table. Having spent a bit longer getting clean than him, Spitfire had found Soarin in the kitchen cooking a seemingly endless variety of foods. Pancakes, vegetarian sausages, hay bacon, orange juice, milk, it looked less like breakfast and more like a feast worthy of a small army.

“Go ahead, you can start without me if you want,” Soarin said, flipping a pancake onto a stack. “You said you were starving, so go on, eat,” he added with a smile, nudging a plate of scrambled eggs and hay bacon her way.

“I…I just don’t know where to start…do you always cook like this?”

“Nah, just when I have friends over, which isn’t often, so the pantry fills up quite a bit. Like I said, mom wouldn’t let me move out until I could cook.”

“Awesome parenting,” Spitfire said, helping herself to some sausage to go with the eggs.

“Yeah, I guess you could say that,” Soarin said, sitting down on the opposite side with a stack of pancakes. “Hey, by the way, after breakfast, do you wanna head out for a flight? I feel like I could use some air.”

“Shuhe,” Spitfire said, before swallowing a mouthful of egg. “Where do you wanna go?”

“Just around the neighborhood,” Soarin said, scarfing down a pancake.

Spitfire nodded.

*** *** ***

“Hey, what’s taking so long? Didn’t you wanna go as soon as we were done?” Spitfire asked, pawing in front of the door.

“Just a minute, gotta put these plates back in their place,” came Soarin’s voice from the kitchen.

Spitfire shrugged shoulders and walked around the hallway to kill time, looking over the place. She hadn’t thought much about it before, being more interested in other things, but his home was very neatly cleaned. Looking closer at some of it, she realized he may have even rivaled her in terms of keeping a nice place, making her blush slightly at the thought. She didn’t notice Soarin stepping into the hall with her.

“Uhm, what’s with the blushing?” he asked, cocking an eyebrow. Spitfire grew redder.

“Eh, nothing…come on, let’s get moving, I’m getting antsy here.”

“Okay,” Soarin said, not paying a second thought. Putting a scarf around his neck he opened the door, letting a cool breeze in. He shivered visibly, along with Spitfire.

“Brr, cold,” he said and stepped out. It was still fairly early morning, and not many ponies were out. The street lay almost empty, save for a mailpony and a few others. “Hey, do you know what day it is, by the way?” he asked, turning to Spitfire as she stepped out.

“I think it’s Saturday, why?”

“Just wondering, the neighborhood’s usually a bit livelier than this.”

Spitfire yawned. “They’re probably sleeping in.”

“Good,” Soarin said, locking the door behind them. Rustling his wings and stretching his legs a bit, he prepared to take off. His breath turned to fog in the chilly air as he spread his wings, flapping them to warm up his muscles.

Stepping up beside him, Spitfire leaned in, “Why is that a good thing?”

“Well…” Soarin began, folding his wings again, “I just don’t want anypony to see us right now. I’ll explain once we’re in the air,” he said, eyes glancing away from Spitfire. “So, you ready?”

“Yeah, let’s go,” Spitfire said, spreading her own wings. Without waiting for clearance, they both took off at roughly the same time, darting into the sky as fast as only two Wonderbolts could pull off, leaving small craters in the cloud below them. Cold air bombarded their faces, forcing Soarin to breathe through gritted teeth as his nostrils felt like they were being stuffed with cork. Spitfire had no such issues and quickly pulled ahead of Soarin, motioning for him to follow.

Coming up high above Cloudsdale they could get a better view of the lands below. With the sky mostly free of clouds they stopped for a short moment, flapping in midair, enjoying the sight. Far below them, a sea of green spread out, divided into square shapes. Miles upon miles of farmlands and forest, lit up by the peaking sun as it crept up over the mountains in the distance, its rays almost blinding the two pegasi as they watched.

“Beautiful, isn’t it,” Soarin said, turning to Spitfire, who just floated in the air completely awestruck. “Hello?” he said, moving in, waving a forehoof before her eyes, snapping her out of her trance.

“Huh, what?” Spitfire said, shaking her head, “Did you say something?”

“Yeah, but going by the look on your face I think I got my answer.”

“Sorry, I just haven’t seen Equestria like this before,” Spitfire said without taking eyes of the sight before her. Glancing at Soarin for a second she noticed him cocking an eyebrow, electing a sigh out of her, “I’m usually still in bed by this time on a Saturday morning. All the training really takes the energy out of me, so I try to sleep a lot when I can,” she said with a small yawn. “So, what was it you wanted to talk about again?”

“Oh, um, could we find a cloud or something first?” Soarin said.

“Sure,” Spitfire said, looking up, “How about that one?” she added, pointing to a small cloud high above them. “It’s gonna be cold, but unless you want to try and find another-“ Spitfire was cut off as Soarin ascended. She followed suit, and soon they both found themselves comfortable on the soft fluff. Folding a wing over her, Soarin pulled Spitfire close, the yellow mare burrowing her snout in his chest.

“How the heck can you stand being this high up when it’s this freaking cold?” Spitfire asked, teeth clattering a bit.

Soarin chuckled, “What’s wrong, the ferocious Spitfire can’t handle a little chill?” he said with a grin, earning a sharp hoof in the side, “Ow.”

“So what was it you wanted to talk about?”

Soarins expression changed to a slightly downbeat one, making Spitfire almost regret asking. Sighing slightly, Soarin swallowed and looked Spitfire in the eyes. “I wanted to talk about us, or rather, what will become of us,” he said. Spitfire’s stomach sank a little as she also swallowed.

“W-what do you mean, I thought this was-“ Spitfire cut mid-sentence, lingering on the word “thought”. Realizing that maybe she’d been wrong about the whole ordeal, that she’d just figured Soarin would be into her, her stomach plunged like a rock in cold water. “You aren’t…you’re not gonna say that we…”

“What? No, no it isn’t like that. I really like you, Spitfire, I always have, and trust me when I say there’s nothing I’ve wanted more than to be with you. But…”

“But what? Talk to me dammit, there’s nothing to be afraid of,” Spitfire said, putting a hoof on his cheek, looking him in the eye.

Soarin sighed heavily. “But what about the others? The Wonderbolts, how’re they going to react to all of this? And don’t give me the whole thing about being captain. You may be able to make us all stand in line and boss us around, but this could end up breaking codex so much that-“ Soarin stopped as Spitfire put a hoof to his lips.

“Then we don’t let them onto us,” she said calmingly, “I don’t care if we have to meet in secrecy, I want this, Soarin, more than you can imagine. I’ve been alone for so long now, that up until a few days back, I hardly remembered what it was like to be with somepony,” she said, pulling him into a hug. “But I do understand your worries, and know that I’m not trying to persuade you into doing something you don’t want to do. I’m only asking you, at least for now, to not worry about it. We’ll find a way around it, and if we have to face the consequences some day, then let’s cross that bridge when we come to it.”

Soarin lay speechless in Spitfire’s hooves. The feeling of knowing how much they’d be risking going into this made his stomach churn slightly. He breathed fast, trying to calm himself as Spitfire began stroking his mane.

“You’re trembling, Soarin,” Spitfire whispered. Soarin kept shaking despite, teeth chattering as he hugged Spitfire’s waist.

“I’m…I’m just scared…you know how much we’ll be risking, right?”

“I do, but tell me, isn’t it worth it? Isn’t it worth the risk?” she said, gently stroking his mane, feeling his trembling slowly decrease. “Remember who we are, Soarin. We’re Wonderbolts, it’s our job to take risks. And besides, what fun is there to life if you don’t take risks once in a while?”

“I can think of at least a dozen things…” Soarin said half-heartedly, “But I understand what you mean, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little thrilled. Scared, yes, but thrilled,” he said, staring blankly into the distance.

“There you go,” Spitfire said with a joyless chuckle, “That’s the spirit, big guy.”

She pulled Soarin up to meet his gaze. He was still shaking, but as she grabbed ahold of one of his hooves he seemed to calm down.

“I know this won’t be easy, trust me, I know,” Spitfire began, “But we’ve already passed the point of no return, and what do we do when that happens?”

Soarin swore for himself, knowing that Spitfire had a point. Reaching the point of no return during a flight or performance meant no going back, that a pony had to face the challenge ahead no matter how grim, and come out as best they could. Swallowing hard he looked Spitfire in the eyes.

“We keep going, staying strong ‘til the end,” he said bitterly, wanting to kick whoever came up with that idea.

“That’s right. So what do you say? Do you want to turn back on this, or are you going to be a true blue Wonderbolt and stick with me to the end?” Spitfire said, making it sound less like a question and more like an ultimatum.

A million thoughts went through Soarins head over the course of a second. The thought of how wrong it all could go, how the Wonderbolts, Cloudsdale, all of Equestria would react once the news broke that the two of them were an item. It would be the worst storm any of them had ever experienced, ending not only their careers as flyers, but their chances of ever attaining happiness again. Their lives would become a living hell that they’d be carrying to their graves.

Soarin gritted teeth as the realization hit him, but as he looked into Spitfire's eyes, something about her caught his attention; the determination. He'd only seen it on occasion, but it struck home just as effectively, a sheer burn in her eyes that told him this wasn't a game or anything of the sort. She knew the risk, what they could be facing, and she was willing to take it all because of him. A sudden guilt snuck its way into Soarins mind, followed by another realization; that he was about to back out of possibly the best thing to ever occur in his life, and if he passed on it he would be regretting it for the rest of his life, despite the eventual outcome.

Nodding, Soarin gave a weak but noticeable smile. "Count on it," he said, putting Spitfire's hoof in his own. A small trace of doubt still lingered in his stomach as he spoke the words, but it vanished in the blink of an eye as Spitfire lunged at him, pulling him into a powerful hug that sent them both toppling backwards into the white fluff. There was no sound, no fits of giggles or declarations of how much one of them loved the other, just silence. The stillness broken only by a very slight *phoof* of some cloud.

Spitfire looked Soarin in the eyes as she lay on top of him. Feeling his chest heave up and down she buried her muzzle into his neck, breathing in his scent in combination with the fresh morning air.

"Thanks, Soarin, you have no idea how much better my life just became," she whispered into his ear and hugged him tight. The sun kept rising slowly over the horizon, but the chill remained, making the two of them curl up. They could’ve gone back to his place, but neither Soarin nor Spitfire wanted to move from the cloud, and just lay there listening to the faint sound of the wind blowing over them, as it set the white fluff adrift.

“Mmm, I wish we could stay like this forever,” Spitfire mumbled, nuzzling Soarin’s cheek. Twisting slightly, she wrapped a hoof around him while he folded a wing over her, feathers tickling her skin.

“Me too…” Soarin said, his voice trailing as he looked skywards, his mind a blank slate at this point. He pulled Spitfire tighter with his wing. Spitfire sighed contently, once again starting to rub his chest and belly, making him wince.

“You’re still hurting, aren’t ya?”

“Can’t help it...don’t stop though, it’s not bad,” he said, leaning in to give Spitfire a nuzzle.

“You want me to touch you in a bad way?” Spitfire said playfully, moving her hoof downwards before Soarin stopped her.

“Don’t ruin this moment, there’ll be time for that later,” Soarin said.

Spitfire pouted slightly, but a look from Soarin changed her mind, though she admittedly found it a little fun that a stallion who’d only been with a mare twice so far in his life would turn down an invitation so early. She chuckled.

“What’s so funny this time?” Soarin asked.

“Ohhh, nothing, I just think it’s a little funny you’d turn me down so soon. Most of the other guys didn’t start complaining until round six or so,” Spitfire said, pecking his cheek.

“Hey, I’m tired, okay. Plus, I’m hurting,” Soarin said in a mock whining tone.

Spitfire gently poked his side. “That’s supposed to be my line, jerk,” she said, putting a hoof to his lips before he could retort. “Now hush and enjoy this moment while we have it.”

Soarin obeyed, and for a long time they lay in silence as the cloud kept drifting. Spitfire finally looked up.

“Hey, where are we anyway?”

Soarin strained to look over the edge of the cloud.

“Above the Everfree, I think…”

They shared a groan. Looking over the edge they could both spot Cloudsdale far away, each as surprised as the other at just how far they’d gone, not to mention the amount of time that must have passed.

“Maybe we ought to head back,” Soarin said, noticing then that Spitfire was no longer beside him, but that she’d started flying back.

Looking back at him, Spitfire stuck her tongue out and winked.

Soarin’s eyes narrowed.

“Oh, it’s on now,” he said with a grin.

Sleepover

A brisk wind cut through Soarin’s mane as he stood at the far end of the currently-empty Cloudsdale Coliseum. It didn’t bother him much, as he was covered from head to hoof in the Wonderbolt’s signature blue leather outfit. The late afternoon sun cast an orange glow over the cloud structures, creating sharp contrasts. The light pained his eyes, forcing him to look away; it was the kind of brightness that only came around right before the sun would begin to set, the one that if one looked into it they’d be blinded. Still, he wanted to watch it despite the sting. The beauty of it was worth the pain, not unlike a certain somepony he knew. Soarin chuckled a bit at his own thoughts and lay down.

His thoughts began to drift, as they tended to do when he was alone. The first week of his relationship with Spitfire was coming to an end, and so far it had been a bumpy ride. Having to maintain a professional appearance in public had been rather easy, even if Soarin got a bit antsy whenever another stallion would approach Spitfire. Not that it bothered him too much; he knew that sooner or later there’d be talk of adding another member to their little herd of two. Though, it still gave him a feel of unease. While he was a Wonderbolt, and quite famous throughout Equestria, he knew there were a lot of other stallions around that could easily match him; he’d seen Spitfire with a few of those before. Adding to his fear was the fact that outside of the performances, he was very different from how ponies might think; the cocky attitude he put on whenever he made public appearances was mostly an act, since in reality he was a lot more subdued, which made him worry that if Spitfire wanted to include another stallion, he’d probably end up being replaced altogether. Spitfire, as far as he knew, liked stallions with a little more attitude than he possessed, and no matter how much reassurance she gave him, the thought still nagged at him from time to time.

The real challenge they’d faced so far had, not unexpectedly, had been the team, rather than the crowd. Keeping their masks whenever the other Wonderbolts were around sometimes proved near impossible, especially for Spitfire. Every time she had to dish out discipline, or some harsh language at him, Soarin could tell that it wasn’t easy for her, half expecting her to suddenly jump him in front of everypony.

He sighed slightly and looked towards the horizon. The sun was setting fast, leaving the clouds in pink and blue.

Although, despite the pressure to maintain normality, Soarin was feeling a lot better this past week than he had in a long time, and even though he wasn’t exactly old yet, he still felt like a younger stallion because of it. Having to constantly sneak away from the others in order to be together, he and Spitfire had quickly started developing methods to be able to do as much as possible with what little time they were given. In the past, Spitfire would often berate Soarin for not pushing himself as hard as he could, something he’d been made very much aware of the year before during a training camp for the Equestria Games. He’d improved since, but Spitfire often asked to see him in private anyways. And while she was screaming her lungs out at him and tell him to get better, she would be drowning out the sound of their moaning as Soarin bent her over a table, and none of the Wonderbolts seemed wiser. This too came with a backside, as some of the members were clearly starting to display doubt about Soarin’s abilities whenever he was called into her office for the third time during one day, but it was always worth it in the end.

Yawning and flexing his jaw a little, Soarin stood up and stretched his wings, electing an audible popping from his muscles. Wanting to get home before nightfall, he took off and headed towards the stalls to get changed. He didn’t usually stay late, always wanting to be home before the others, but during the past few days he’d stayed to do some extra training on his own, which he needed. Being a stallion and thus heavier by nature was one thing, but another one entirely was his love of sweets, especially pie. All the crust and filling wasn’t doing his body any favors, and being part of the Wonderbolts had come as a godsend, as it forced him to maintain a certain standard.

But now, with Spitfire, he’d suddenly become determined to train even harder. Why that was, he couldn’t figure out. Part of him believed firmly that Spitfire might leave him for another, better stallion unless he did. He knew deep down that his fears were unjustified, but it couldn’t hurt to be on the safe side.

Stepping into the empty halls of the lower coliseum, Soarin trotted to the changing rooms, his hoofsteps echoing through the empty, low lit rooms. He wouldn’t admit it to others, but being alone like this in a large place gave him chills. He was just going to get out of the suit and take a shower at home later.

“Come on lard-ass, nothing’s gonna happen,” he told himself as he opened the door to the changing room and desperately searching for the light switch. The lamps above him flickered to life, casting a dim yellow light over the room. He ran for his locker, removing his goggles on the way, although the zipper on his suit was a whole different story.

“Dammit, why does this fucking thing never…” Soarin grumbled as he pulled the zipper. He didn’t hear the door open and close behind him.

“Need help with that, Soarin?” came a female voice from behind him. Soarin’s ears stood up instantly, his heart skipping a jump as he nearly leapt out of the suit. Regaining his normal breathing he turned around with an annoyed glare.

“Don’t do that, Fleetfoot. You nearly scared me to death,” he said, looking at the white haired, sky-blue mare standing behind him with a bright smile on her face, her tongue sticking out at him.

“I know, that’s why I keep doing it,” she said with a snicker. There wasn’t any malice to her voice, giving Soarin slight relief; the last thing he needed was a tease...

Stepping up beside him, Fleetfoot glanced down at the zipper with a smirk. “Want me to pull it for you?” she asked. Soarin just rolled his eyes, but gave a nod nonetheless. Fleetfoot grabbed the zipper with her teeth and slowly pulled down.

“How do you mares always manage to do that?” Soarin asked as he removed the tight leather, shrugging his fur in the process.

“The trick is not to yank at it. Also, it helps not using your hooves,” Fleetfoot said as she opened her locker. “By the way, what’re you doing here so late?”

“Late practice,” Soarin said, “What about you?”

“Oh, I forgot my bags earlier today,” Fleetfoot said, pulling out a pair of small, white saddlebags and threw them on. “Well, I would love to stay and chit-chat, but I’ve got places to be,” she said, heading for the door. Soarin followed suit, not wanting to linger in the empty hallways longer than necessary.

“So, what’s this place you’re headed?” Soarin asked as they headed outside, trying his best not to sound completely uninterested. He didn’t really think about Fleetfoot a lot, as they rarely spoke, and had absolutely nothing in common to the extent of his knowledge. What little he knew about her was that she was very active on the dating scene, and that she was extremely picky with the kind of company she kept, which was also the main reason he stayed clear of her.

“Well, I’m meeting a friend for dinner, if you have to know,” Fleetfoot said, spreading her wings. “What about you?”

“Ehh, just gonna take it easy,” Soarin said with a shrug. Spreading his wings as well and flapping them a little, he prepared to take off.

“Okay, well, see you around then…loverboy,” she said with a snicker, before darting off into the darkening skies above. Soarin stood dumbfounded as if somepony had just thrown a brick in his face. Had he heard that right? And if so, did Fleetfoot somehow know about him and Spitfire? A million thoughts rushed through his mind as he took off quickly as well. He didn’t get far though, as he failed to notice the pillar in front of him.

*** *** ***

Spitfire groaned in frustration as a knock on the door snapped her out of her evening meal. With a grunt she put aside the plate of salad and headed for the door, muttering along the way.

“I swear to Celestia, if it’s another fan I’m strangling him with his own mane…” she muttered as she reached the door. Looking through the keyhole she spotted a familiar blue coat, easing her frustration somewhat. Opening the door forced her to stifle a gasp though, as she looked into Soarin’s one functioning eye, the other one being a nice shade of bluish black.

“Dude, what happened to you?” she asked slightly shocked.

“May I come in?” Soarin asked.

“Yeah sure,” Spitfire said, ushering him inside, “Did anypony see you, by the way?”

“I don’t think so,” Soarin said with a groan.

“Good. But what the hell happened to you? You got into a fight or something?”

“With a pillar…” Soarin trailed off, a hint of shame lingering over his voice.

Spitfire rolled her eyes a little as she closed the door. “You really have to work on that. One of these days, it’s going to get you killed,” she said, walking Soarin into the kitchen. “Sometimes I feel like I’m dating a klutz,” she said with a sigh, making Soarin’s ears drop a little. “Oh come on, I didn’t mean it like that,” she added.

“I know, but still…” Soarin muttered. Even though he knew Spitfire didn’t say it in ill-will, constantly being reminded of his mockups during flight wasn’t doing him a world of good.

“Look, I’m sorry I brought it up. Now let’s put something on that eye,” Spitfire said, bringing out a bag of frozen peas. Leading him into the living room, Spitfire ushered Soarin into an armchair. He gasped in shock and pain as Spitfire put the cold bag over his eye. Holding it in place with a hoof he rested his head against the cloud and gave an audible sigh.

“Hard day?” Spitfire asked as she sat back down with her dinner.

“You could say that.”

“Want to talk about it?”

“Kind of, don’t know where to start though,” Soarin responded. Spitfire just shook her head slightly.

“Why don’t you begin by telling me how you got that black eye?”

Soarin sighed again. “I stayed late at the coliseum, did some practice runs for the show, then on my way out I ran into Fleetfoot-“ his words were interrupted by a rustle of feathers. Turning to look at her with his good eye, he noticed Spitfire had suddenly developed a rather grim look.

“She did that to you?”

“What? No…no it wasn’t her, I told you, I flew into a pillar. Anyway, we were leaving when…” Soarin gritted teeth before continuing, “She…she called me ‘loverboy’…” Looking at Spitfire expecting an outburst, Soarin was surprised to find her seemingly deep in thought.

“Does she…does she know about us?” Soarin asked.

Spitfire sighed heavily. “Look, Soarin, you need to understand something about me and Fleetfoot.”

“She knows, doesn’t she? I thought you said this was going to be between us only, and now you’ve gone and opened up not one week la-“

“Shut up, it’s not like that!” Spitfire snapped. “I would never do something like that, now hush!”

Soarin instantly backed off, slowly leaning back into the chair.

“As I said, Fleetfoot and I go back a while. I’m not gonna go into detail, let’s just say, we know each other well,” Looking at Soarin calmly she kept going, “She knows I’ve had a thing for you long before you did, I mean, do you remember the first time we did it? How she quietly excused herself?”

Soarin thought back to that first time in the coliseum locker room, and surely enough did remember that Fleetfoot had been in the same room that day.

“Yeah, now that you mention it…so, are you saying that she knows all about us?”

“Not all of it, to her recollection we’re still just on the level of doing each other in the shower. I haven’t told her we’re an item yet.”

“Are you going to?”

“I think she may have already figured it out,” Spitfire said with a sigh and finished the last of her food. Sitting in silence for a while they both tried getting their thoughts straightened out. Eventually, Soarin moved from the chair to the sofa, allowing Spitfire to rest on his lap. Soarin started lightly stroking Spitfire’s mane, electing a humming out of her.

“Sorry if I ruined dinner for you,” Soarin mumbled.

“It’s okay,” Spitfire responded without looking, taking the time to enjoy Soarin’s strokes. Pulling her legs up she shifted position slightly until her snout lay pressed against Soarin’s belly. She lay for a while before speaking again. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I was sort of hoping you’d have it figured out yourself.”

“Yeah, I guess I’m just stupid like that.”

“Stop saying that,” Spitfire mumbled, poking Soarin with a hoof. “If you call yourself stupid one more time, I’ll break up with you. I don’t wanna hear it.”

“Sorry.”

“And that to, stop apologizing for every little thing,” Spitfire said, rolling over on her back to look Soarin in the eye.

“So what happens now?” he asked.

“Look, Fleetfoot may be a teaser, but she’s not going to rat us out. Trust me on that,” Spitfire said, reaching a hoof up to stroke his chin. Soarin gave a small sigh, but he wasn’t about to press the issue further, though the sinking feeling inside of him still lingered. Noticing, Spitfire lightly grabbed one of his hooves and placed it on her belly, making Soarin instinctively starting to rub her.

“Feel better?” She asked.

“A little,” he responded, grinding his hoof into the soft fur, electing a moan from Spitfire.

“Don’t do it too hard, I just ate,” Spitfire mumbled as Soarin pressed down on her stomach.

Soarin just hummed in response and spread a wing, stroking Spitfire with the tip of the feathers. Having forgotten about the pain in his eye he glanced down at her through the swollen eyelid, making her giggle.

“Dude, what’re you doing? Trying to look tough?” she said with a snicker, bumping him on the nose.

“What? I thought mares found stallions with scars real hot,” Soarin responded, stroking a feather over Spitfire’s lower belly.

“Only if they’re consistent, that blackeye’s gonna be gone in a few days and you’ll be back to looking like your regular, non-damaged self,” Spitfire said, rubbing the back of her head into Soarin’s lap, shivering from the sensation of the feathers running over her body.

“Is that a bad thing?” Soarin asked.

“I wouldn’t have you any other way,” Spitfire said, motioning for him to get closer.

Straining his neck, Soarin managed to lean down and deliver an awkwardly positioned kiss, continuing to stroke Spitfire with his wing. Spitfire responded in kind, closing her eyes as they locked lips.

The taste of greens still lingered on Spitfire’s tongue, giving Soarin a bit of hunger sensation as they kissed. Once they parted he looked around the room for a clock but couldn’t find one, though a quick look outside showed that the sun had all but settled completely, and night would soon be upon them.

“Damn, looks like it’s getting late,” Soarin mumbled.

“Well, you can spend the night if you want. I have an extra toothbrush if you need one,” Spitfire said with a playful smile, stroking Soarin’s wing with a hoof. Soarin gave an audible gulp at the suggestion.

“What’s wrong? Nervous about spending the night at a mare’s house?” Spitfire asked playfully, looking up at him. “Come on, it’ll be fun. My parents aren’t home so we can do anything we want…anything,” Spitfire said jokingly, and tried to pull Soarin in for another tongue wrestle, but Soarin sat firm in his spot, his mind having decided to go be someplace else.

Soarin sat in silence at Spitfire’s suggestion, trying to think his way out of the situation. Truth was, it would be the first time for as far as he could remember that he’d been offered to spend a night at somepony else’s place, but it wasn’t the cause for his hesitation. It was the fact that his entire routine would be thrown off the next day, and more importantly, something he needed to do every morning in order to function. He needed them, and spending the night meant he wasn’t going to be getting them in the morning, unless Spitfire somehow had a stash of her own which was an extremely unlikely scenario.

Still, looking down and into Spitfire’s eyes, he knew he was stuck. If he didn’t respond the way she wanted him to, she’d know something was up, and if he stayed she’d find out the truth. In that moment, all Soarin wanted was to bolt right through the ceiling, and if it hadn’t been for the weight of a mare pressing him down, he probably would have. Trying to formulate a plan in his head was useless, it’d take too long and give him away, and against better judgment he blurted out an answer.

“S-sure, I’d love to,” Soarin said, hoping that somepony would burst into the room and murder him with an icepick. Sadly, nopony seemed available.

“Sweet, just let me get ready,” Spitfire said getting up from her spot. At that moment, Soarin realized his hind legs had all but completely fallen asleep, and each move he made was suddenly accompanied by an uncomfortable tingle in his legs, like somepony had just stuffed him with cotton. Watching Spitfire walk into the other room, Soarin glanced at the bag of peas defrosting on the table.

“Wish I could melt away just like you,” he said in a downbeat tone. Nudging his swollen eye with a hoof he gritted teeth trying to think of a way to make this all work. He couldn’t leave now, that much was certain. Even as a Wonderbolt, finding his way home in the dark and make it back before Spitfire noticed his absence was out of the question. He could go during the night, but if Spitfire woke up and noticed he was gone he’d be toast. Groaning silently he rubbed his temples, trying to come up with something, but each idea came up flat.

“Hey, wanna hit the sack early? You looked like you could need it,” came Spitfire’s voice from another room. Soarin didn’t answer though, prompting Spitfire to appear in the doorway shortly, a toothbrush sticking out of her mouth. “Hey, something wrong?” she asked.

With a nervous swallow, Soarin looked at Spitfire, trying not to seem worried.

“N-no, it’s fine, I’ll be right there. You go on ahead,” he said.

Spitfire eyed him slightly, but nevertheless gave in, “’Kay, but don’t leave me hanging,” she said, returning to the bathroom. A silence lay over the house, sending chills down Soarin’s back, only broken by the sound of brushing and running water. Getting up slowly, Soarin made his way to the bathroom as well, all the while trying to come up with a lie to tell if Spitfire asked him something. Meeting her at the door, they brushed past each other, with Spitfire nudging close and nibbling his ear slightly. Soarin returned the gesture, but as he did his stomach felt like it was filling up with ice. It pained him that he was going to have to lie to her.

Alone in the bathroom, Soarin looked at himself in the mirror for a moment before scanning his eyes over the bench, looking for the extra brush Spitfire had mentioned. Finding a bright pink one that was still dry, he gave a heavy sigh and looked into the reflection, hoping it would hold some kind of answer to his prayer. Instead, he just found a black eyed stallion staring back at him probably wanting the same thing.

“Guess we’re doing this, huh?”

The mirror didn’t answer.

*** *** ***

“Man, you sure took your sweet time,” Spitfire said teasingly as Soarin tried getting comfortable beside her. Having not slept in any other bed than his own for most of his life, Soarin was having a hard time adjusting to Spitfire’s bed. Not only was it smaller than his own, but the mattress seemed to be made out a different cloud, and the blankets weighed heavy on him.

“Well, I tend to take my time in the evenings. Is that a problem?” Soarin asked, faking a cocky attitude. Spitfire snickered.

“Not at all,” she said, curling up next to Soarin and fondling him. Soarin did his best to enjoy it. “I just hope you weren’t wearing yourself out,” she continued teasing, rubbing his chest.

“Ehh, Spitfire, can we not do that tonight?”

“Huh?”

“Look, I’m just tired, and my eye still hurts. I don’t think I’ll be a lot of fun tonight, is all,” Soarin said, heart pounding as he did.

Spitfire groaned a little, but gave in. She wasn’t about to pressure him. “Okay, but tomorrow better be a different story,” she said, hugging him.

Soarin gulped at the mention of the next day.

“Sure…”

*** *** ***

Soarin awoke with a slight gasp. Sitting up, the first thing he realized was that he wasn’t in his own house. The second was that somepony was snoring beside him, and he wasn’t sure if he appreciated it. Shaking his head a little, he covered his eyes from the morning sun poking in through the curtains, adding to the murderous headache that he realized was plaguing him. Smacking his lips he found his mouth completely dry, and sucking his tongue wasn’t helping.

“Uggghh…where the hell am I?” he asked nopony in particular. Despite not being a drinker, Soarin figured he was having what he assumed a hangover felt like. Glancing over to his right, he was a messy orange mane spread over a pillow. “Oh right…oh…right…” he said and smacked his lips loudly. He glanced at the wall clock.

“Fifteen minutes to go…maybe I can still make it,” he said and slid out of bed, Spitfire still snored loudly. Pulling the curtains aside, he squinted his eyes as the morning sun pierced through the windows. Opening the window, he was hit by a cold wind blowing in and sneezed. One thing was for certain, Equestria was heading into colder times. Autumn was probably right around the corner.

“Mhhh, close the door dammit, it’s drafty…” Spitfire mumbled as she turned around, looking at Soarin through sleepy eyes. “What’re you doing?”

“Ehhhh…” Soarin couldn’t find the word he was looking for, “Just, opening up some windows,” he said with a sheepish smile. Spitfire didn’t look terribly amused.

“Get back in bed and close the damn window, it’s freezing,” she droned and turned around, pulling the blankets over her. Soarin sighed and did as he was told. Reluctantly he crawled back into bed and wrapped his hooves around Spitfire, which she seemed content with. He’d left the window open by a slight crack, allowing the cool morning air to continue streaming into the room. Yawning, Soarin pulled Spitfire into an even stronger embrace. The cold air made his eyes feel heavy, and the warmth under the covers intensified. He didn’t realize it, but he was drifting back into sleep. It was still early morning outside, meaning life had yet to return to the streets of Cloudsdale.

Feeling his eyelids growing heavier, Soarin fought to stay awake best he could. He had no idea what would happen if he drifted off into sleep, and what would await when he woke up. It had been too long since last time, and he didn’t remember how to handle it should it crop up. He yawned again and tried pulling away from Spitfire, but she held him firm with her hooves. She mumbled something in her sleep. He was stuck. Accepting his fate, he buried his muzzle in her mane, and drifted off into sleep once more.

*** *** ***

Muttering in his sleep, Soarin awoke some time later. Something tickled his nose, irritating him to no end, but each time he tried getting it out it just came back. Sitting up he rubbed his temples slightly, ignoring the cold air around him. Looking around for the source of his disturbance he noticed Spitfire next to him, her mane spread out over the pillow, a few small strands of hair waving carelessly in the air coming in from the window.

Blinking a few times, he finally came to his senses. It was with sheer force of will that he didn’t burst out of the bed in a panic. Eyes darting around, he finally spotted a heart-shaped wall clock—although he didn’t have the time to ponder its shape. Seven thirty, it read. He swallowed hard, as sweat began to build on his forehead. He had to get home, quickly, before something bad happened. He wasn’t sure exactly what it would be, but he wasn’t about to stay there and find out. Slowly, he inched his way out of bed, praying Spitfire wouldn’t wake up. She shifted a couple of times in her sleep, but it didn’t seem she was going to be up and about for a while.

Sliding out of bed, Soarin shivered. The room was cold. The window was cracked open slightly, but had let in enough of a chill that he could see puffs of his own breath in the air. Carefully looking through Spitfire’s drawers, he desperately tried to find some kind of schedule. He knew she kept a tight one, surely there would be something that could tell him how long she usually slept in the mornings. Rummaging through her belongings however, he didn’t find much aside from a bunch of papers, some receipts (apparently she had a lot of takeout), and a fiendishly filly-ish pink diary with a little lock on it which he prayed she kept around purely for nostalgia’s sake.

Looking to the nightstand next to Spitfire’s side of the bed, he noticed the drawer was open. Darting over, all the while keeping an eye on the clock, he began searching for something he could use, and beneath a copy of a shady romance novel and a bottle of lube, he found a rugged, black little book. Opening it, on the first page was a weekly schedule. His eyes went wide as dinner plates as he looked at the clock once again; she’d be up in less than twenty minutes. That meant he had to get back home, take his medication, and be back next to her in less than that, and even less now that he’d spent so much time thinking.

“Oh shit, I gotta go,” he said to himself.

“The bathroom’s down the hallway,” mumbled Spitfire in her sleep, nearly making Soarin jump out of his skin.

Don’t just sit there, moron, get that ass going! he thought, making a beeline for the door. Stepping outside, he had another realization; he didn’t have a house key, and he wasn’t too fond of the idea of leaving Spitfire sleeping alone in an unlocked house. He couldn’t waste time though, if he didn’t get his soon enough, there was no telling what could happen. Spreading his wings in the cold morning air, he quickly took off, darting down the streets of Cloudsdale like a high-powered rocket; if Spitfire could’ve seen him, she’d probably berate him for not performing this well at work. Going this fast, his surroundings quickly became a blur, and it was only by his pure dumb luck that he didn’t crash into anything or anypony. Realizing he would probably have a better chance if he got higher up, he made a 90 degree turn upwards until the neighbourhood lay before him like a lifesize roadmap. He finally spotted his house and took a dive, plummeting at speeds that would’ve made Rainbow Dash want to retire. He knew there would be damage, that his house would be needing repairs after this, but it didn’t matter. As long as he got them, everything would work out eventually; even if it ended up costing him a little. Getting closer to his home at great speed, he aimed for the upstairs window; or rather a little bit above it. He didn’t want to crash through the glass, the cloud would be bad enough as it was.

His aim wasn’t the best. Plummeting straight through the roof instead of the wall, he ended up going through the top floor of the house, landing in a messy pile on the bottom floor. Spitting out cloud and groaning, he finally managed to get himself oriented; he’d landed in his own hallway. Good.

Wasting no time he bolted for the bathroom. Opening up the wall cabinet, he quickly found what he was looking for. His hooves shook and quivered as he tried getting a single pill out of the bottle. Finally getting it, he popped one into his mouth and stuck his head under the water nozzle, filled up with water and then swallowed hard, his chest straining as he did. Coughing a little, he felt the effect kick in almost instantly.

“Phew...that was close,” he said to his own reflection, which just panted back at him, tongue hanging. Sliding down, he rested against the sink as the medication worked its magic. “Oh sweet Sunbutt, I gotta get this under control...I can’t live like this,” he said to himself, rubbing his temple as his stomach rumbled slightly.

“Shut up, you,” he grumbled. Glancing around the room, he spotted the wall clock; he had one in almost every room. His eyes went wide as plates; five minutes. He had five, no, four minutes and forty-five seconds to get back to Spitfire’s place before her alarm went of.
Scrambling to his hooves, he quickly raced out the bathroom and looked up. Rocketing up, he managed to miss the holes he’d made before, instead creating a set of new ones.

He made it to Spitfire’s place in just under a minute, and gently opened the door, stepping into the silent house. Less than two minutes now, he had to make it. Gliding up the stairs, he made it to the bedroom and snuck in. Spitfire was still in her spot. He gently slid back under the covers and draped them over himself, only to kick them off instantly; he was soaked. Completely drenched in sweat from all the hard flying this morning.

Having little time to think of an explanation, a loud ringing snapped Soarin out of his thoughts as Spitfire’s alarm went of. Spitfire groaned and reached out a hoof, searching the nightstand next to her for the clock. Once she found it, she gave it a hard smack, causing it to slowly die out.

She shifted a little and turned around, coming face to face with Soarin. She slowly opened her eyes and smacked her lips.

“Hey...how’s it going?” she mumbled. Soarin didn’t answer, he just stared at her. “What’s the matter with you,” she began, then sniffed the air, “And what the heck’s that smell? And why are you all wet? Did you run a marathon or something?” she added groggily.

“Um...well, I was…” Soarin tried to come up with something, while his eyes, involuntarily, moved downwards. Spitfire cocked her eyebrow, then put on a frown.

“Were you jacking off in my bed while I was sleeping?”

“Uhhh, yeah…” Soarin said, putting on the best smile he could muster.

“Ewwww, you’re nasty,” Spitfire said, not looking the least bit amused. Before Soarin had time to react, her hooves were against his stomach, and he then found himself on the floor as Spitfire kicked him off the bed.

“Now you won’t be getting anything today, buddy,” Spitfire said as she got out of bed. “I’m gonna take a shower, why don’t you go make me some breakfast or something, you nasty colt.”

Soarin quickly got up as Spitfire headed for the bathroom door. Before stepping inside, she spoke again, without turning to face him.

“And I better not find any surprises in here, or you’re gonna get it big time.”

She closed the door with a click, leaving Soarin standing by the bed with a slightly confused look on his face. The confusion quickly turned to relief though; he’d managed to dodge the bullet, at least for now. Remembering Spitfire’s command, he quickly headed down the stairs to the kitchen. Today was going to be good.

There's a first time for everything

“You know what we haven’t done yet?”

Soarin looked up from the magazine he was reading, and looked at Spitfire. Thinking for a moment, he found himself unable to come up with an answer.

“Um, a lot, I suppose, maybe you wanna get more specific? I mean, there are tons of things we’re probably never gonna be doing, or even able to, so I don’t-”

“No, no, numbnuts, I’m talking about the one, kinda crucial, thing that goes into every relationship; which we haven’t done yet.”

Soarin took to thinking again. Over the last month or so they’d been together, they had done quite a bit from what he could remember. They had done it in the locker room at the stadium -that was kind of the way they got together to begin with-and after that they’d done it a bunch of times. But thinking about it, and giving her a casual glance, Soarin figured she wasn’t talking about their sex life.

“Sorry, I don’t really know the dating scene that well…”

Spitfire sighed.

“What’s the first thing you do in a relationship, like, one of those fundamental things that everypony who’s ever tried being in a relationship has done?”

“Um...flowers?”

Spitfire facehoofed.

“Okay, uh, how about, flowers and a box of chocolate?”

“It’s a nice gesture, but still not really there,” Spitfire said and patted him on the hoof.

Soarin gave it another hard thought. They’d had sex a bunch of times, that much he was certain of. They hung out regularly, at work, and outside of work. She sometimes slept at his place, and on occasion he’d sleep at hers, and sometimes they went out- wait, did they? His mind got stuck for a moment. He remembered most of their times together, but none of those times had been in public. They hadn’t even gone out for coffee.

“We haven’t been on a date, have we?” he asked.

“Bingo,” Spitfire said, giving him a wink and a satisfied smile.

Soarin felt his cheeks burn with embarrassment. In all this time, he and Spitfire hadn’t had a proper first date, unless he could count that first time in the showers as one, which he was pretty certain wasn’t an option; most first dates weren’t supposed to include 69’s as far as he knew, unless times had changed while he wasn’t looking.

Looking Spitfire in the eyes, he broke the question. “Spitfire, would you like to go on a date with me?” he asked with a slight quiver in his voice.

Spitfire took one glance at her stallion, at this point looking more like a nervous foal, and burst out laughing so hard she fell out of the armchair she laid in, hitting the cloud floor with a soft thud.

“Does that mean you don’t wanna go with me?” Soarin said jokingly, doing his best pouty-face. Spitfire kept cackling for a good minute or so before she managed to calm herself and regain composure.

“Of course I’ll go on a date with you,” she said.

“Great... So, how exactly do we go about it?”

“What, you don’t know how to do a date either? Gosh, first the sex, now this, I’m starting to worry about you.”

“Very funny. No, I meant, how do we go about it without anypony knowing it’s us. The press would have a field day if they found out about us, right?”

“You know, I’ve been thinking about that,” Spitfire began, “I mean, I don’t want to live in the shadows all my life. I want to be able to go out with you and just be normal, not having to constantly worry about not being seen. And I know you want that too, even if right now the thought is scary.”

Soarin glanced to the side, avoiding eye contact. Spitfire knew him, and she knew him well. He wasn’t thrilled by the thought of having to keep their relationship a secret to the world either, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but thinking the worst about what could happen if they went public. Maybe he was thinking too highly of himself and his position, but whenever the thought of coming out hit him, he always saw himself as being one of those stallions who ended up on the cover of every paper in Equestria, hounded at every turn by ponies who wanted a piece of him. Never being allowed peace and quiet again. Maybe it was just all in his mind, but he wasn’t thrilled to find out.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to-” Spitfire began, but Soarin cut her off.

“Look, I want that too, I’m just not ready yet. Just, this first time, can we keep it just between us?”

“Okay, we’ll keep it to ourselves for a little longer. But please, promise that you will give this some actual thought, and not make it one of those things you say you’re going to think about, and then you don’t.”

“I promise.”

“Playground oath?”

“How old are we again?”

“Not old enough to not do the oath.”

“Fine, how does it go again?”

“Seriously, you don’t remember the playground oath? It’s like, the holiest part of childhood.”

“I was raised to never enter an agreement if there wasn’t a written signature involved.”

“You’re weird, you know that? Fine, just follow my lead. You put your hoof to your heart, then you say ‘Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye’, and then you stick your hoof in your eye,” Spitfire said, holding a foreleg over her chest.

“Why do I need to stick a hoof in my eye?”

“Because that’s how it goes. Look, don’t pry, just do it. I didn’t write the rules.”

“Still, stupid rule.”

“Oh yeah?” Spitfire said annoyed and looked him in the eyes. “What if you had the opportunity to fulfill your deepest, most precious dream, but to do so, you’d have to take the playground oath?”

“Heh, I don’t need no oath to make that dream happen, just the world’s biggest pie form and an industrial size oven.”

“Just do the damn playground oath already, or you’re fired!”

“Fine,” Soarin said with a snicker and put his right hoof over his chest. “I promise to give it some serious thought as to when I’ll be comfortable of making our relationship public.”

“And the oath.”

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye,” Soarin said unenthusiastically and jabbed the edge of his hoof into his eye. “OW!”

Soarin fell to the floor like a sack of flour, clutching his face in both hooves.

“Whoa, are you okay there, big guy?”

“No, I just shoved by hoof into my eye, so I’m not okay! By Celestia’s soggy cellulite this hurts! Why would you make a child do this?”

Spitfire glanced at the ceiling to make sure there was no chance of the princess having heard Soarin’s comment, before returning her attention to him.

“You aren’t really supposed to stick something in your eye, you can actually have it closed…” she said sheepishly.

“A little late, don’t you think? Ugh, just help me to the bathroom, I think I may have punctured the retina.”

Spitfire carefully helped him to his hooves and lead him into the bathroom. Standing at the sink, Soarin carefully took his hoof away from his eye and blinked. It ached, but other than that, there was no sign of damages.

“See that, you’re fine. No need to think the worst about everything.” Spitfire said, patting him on the back.

Soarin rolled his undamaged eye at Spitfire’s comment and kept examining his other eye. It still hurt, and tears ran down his cheek on the one side, but he could tell Spitfire was right.

“Ugh, I guess you’re right...So there, I did your oath.”

“Good, and remember, you have to give some actual thought to what you’ve promised, not just forget about it and then try to come up with an answer when I ask about it again in two weeks,” Spitfire said sternly.

“You really want to make this public, don’t you?” Soarin said while padding the area around his eye with a wet piece of towel. Spitfire didn’t find his comment amusing though.

“Yes, I want to be able to have an open relationship.”

“Really?” Soarin said in a coy voice, which earned him a jab in the ribs. “Ow.”

“Not that kind of open relationship numbnuts...or, maybe just not yet,” Spitfire said, her train of thought trailing a bit. “Look, don’t get your hopes up, we’re starting with making us public, after that, we’ll see if we can’t make this duo into a herd.”

“Who would we bring in?”

“I said don’t get your hopes up. You’re going to adhere to the playground oath and give this some thought before we even start thinking about it. And you don’t get to decide here and now just because you want to start fantasizing about who we could add.”

“Awww, can we at least decide on gender?”

Spitfire facehoofed and groaned loudly. “Why do I even bring stuff up around you?”

“Because you like me,” Soarin said with a smile, earning him the kind of stare that foals used to get when they mentioned inappropriate details about their parents in front of said parents friends. Not that he knew from experience or anything.

“I’ll let that one slide only because you’re right. But to answer your question, I guess I could see myself bringing another mare in. But not soon, so wipe that grin off your face right now or I’ll give you some real eye pain to complain about,” she said, forcing Soarin into a very forced frown.

Not wanting Spitfire to make real on her threat, Soarin kept quiet as they both exited the bathroom and headed for the living room again. Laying next to each other on the couch and snuggling up, they tried to get back into their respective reading material, but both found focusing to be almost impossible. After a small eternity of awkward silence, Soarin took the risk and broke it.

“Just curious, why would you get to decide on a second mare? Don’t I get a say?”

“Because you have a terrible taste in ponies.”

“I do not.”

“Yeah you do, I’ve seen you during our bar runs. When you get liquored up you start hitting on just about everything. Remember last year when you started hitting on Celestia’s nephew?”

“I thought he was a girl!” Soarin said defensively.

“How could you make that assumption? The guy is built like a fridge and has an even bigger dick than you do.”

“He had a very shapely ass and shrieked like a little filly.”

“When you tried to stick your tongue in his mouth, yes I remember that. And that’s why we don’t invite you out for our binge drinking sessions after the shows, by the way.”

“Okay, so maybe I had one bad experience, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to pick out a second player for us.”

“Third. And no, you don’t get to pick somepony, I don’t want you to accidentally bring another stallion into this.”

Soarin perked up a bit at Spitfire’s comment. “Really, no other stallions? I thought that’s what most mares were into.”

“Well, look at mister stereotyping over here. Look, I’ve been courted by multiple stallions a couple of times, and it usually just ends up with them being jealous at one another for some reason. So, I rather prefer to keep it too just one,” Spitfire said and stuck her head under Soarin’s cheek.

“I think I get along pretty well with other guys…” Soarin mumbled.

“Um, remember that time we went to Ponyville for some local festival, and you ended up getting into a fight with the baker?”

“He was trying to steal my food, what was I supposed to do?”

“First, pie isn’t food unless there’s actual vegetables in it. Second, that pie was supposed to feed ten ponies, and you ended up eating half of it before they stopped you. And then you made all the foals cry.”

“In my defense, they were crying before that.”

“Because you ate their dessert in front of them, rather messily too. I’m just glad the only press there at the time was their school paper so we could bribe the teacher.”

“That teacher seemed familiar somehow, I think…” Soarin muttered.

Spitfire didn’t answer and just hummed, burying one side of her face in Soarin’s chest fur, feeling it go up and down as he breathed, effectively putting their conversation on hold for a moment. Soarin didn’t speak either and lowered his muzzle into Spitfire’s mane, rustling it around, occasionally nibbling at her ears. Spitfire gave a snickering every few seconds as he did, and slowly moved her head across his chest in response.

“How’d she seem familiar?” Spitfire asked without stopping her snuggling. Soarin let go of her ear and thought for a moment, trying to track back into the past.

“I think I went to high-school with her, although she was definitely different back then.”

“How?”

“Well, do you remember when ponies wore their manes, you know, ‘that’ way?” Soarin asked, his question shortly followed by a shiver from Spitfire that made the whole couch seemingly vibrate.

“Please don’t talk about that style when I’m around,” Spitfire said through gritted teeth, and with a moan she dug her muzzle into Soarin’s fur and snuggled up closer to him. “It was so horrible.”

“Really?”

“Do you have any idea how long it took me to learn how to do that damn mane style? And by the time I had finally nailed it, the fad had passed, and I felt so stupid,” Spitfire groaned in fake anguish.

Soarin rolled his eye and pecked Spitfire on top of the head.

“Poor, unfortunate you,” he said, earning himself a nibble from Spitfire.

“It was real hard for me, “ she said, putting emphasis on the “real” part.

“I’m sure it was.”

“You weren’t there, how could you possibly understand?”

“I was there, I just didn’t care. That’s the upside of being a stallion, I can always fall back on my natural charm, I don’t need to follow trends.”

“Oh, that does it, buddy!” Spitfire yelped and quickly headbutted Soarin off of the couch and onto the floor, puffs of cloud flying into the air as he came down. Spitfire was over him in the blink of an eye, pinning him down with her weight as she began jabbing him in the sides with her forehooves, making him start cackling uncontrollably.

“Stop! Stop for fuck’s sake, I can’t take it!”

“NO!” Spitfire yelled with a laugh and threw herself onto him, sending them both into a tumble that eventually landed them out in the hall by the door, their coats and manes in tangled up messes. They lay on the floor for a small eternity, catching their breaths.
After a while, Soarin came to a realization and broke the silence.

“You know what we just did?”

“Behaved like foals?”

“No, we just had our first fight. Think about it, in the past hour or so, we’ve argued and gotten physical with each other,” Soarin said, a pleased smile spreading across his lips. “Our first real relationship argument.”

“You know, I think you’re right. And I liked it. Let’s just hope all our fights end like this one,” Spitfire said, moving herself into position so that she came face to face with Soarin. Waggling her tail a little, she felt it make contact with something unseen behind her, and a grin spread across her face. “So, where do we go from here, you think?”

Soarin cocked an eyebrow and smiled back at her. “Angry, post-fight makeup sex?”

Spitfire pecked him on the lips.

“Correct.”
