Chapter 8: Kisses and Splashes

(Dominic’s P.O.V.)

Day two since I used my new knowledge on Dash, and I still couldn’t get what we had... I had done out of my head. She had me do things I wasn’t entirely proud of... and she forced me to... do something I wasn’t entirely proud of. I lowered the hammer back down and against the wall of the building I was helping make as yet another flashback forced its way to the forefront of my mind...

-:Flashback:-

I looked between Dash and the orange pony whose name must be AJ, and that was when Dash smirk grew wider than before, and I found myself looking towards her with a nervous smile. I didn’t know what she had planned, but after the hell I just put her through, I knew whatever was in store for me was either going to be downright horrible, or painful to say in the kindest words. I feared both, yet I hoped for the latter. If she went for the former... well, I had turned her on to such a degree that not only had she collapsed from what I could guess as pleasure, but I had forced her to moan.

Just the thought of bringing Dash to moan sent chills up my spine, but I felt more fearful than excited how many guys would have been. I knew Dash was tough, but if I had done that, then I didn’t want to know the punishment for doing so against her wishes.

“What is this all about Dash?”

Dash kept her eyes locked on my own as she licked her lips, before she said, “Oh, this fella thought he could cheat me out of a game, and he did so in a way that makes you seem like an honest cheater...”

I wasn’t too sure if that was an insult or not, but AJ apparently took it as one, but just as she opened her muzzle, I quickly cut her off as I practically spoke in the most pleading tone I could muster, “P-Please don’t let her take me!”

The startled orange pony looked down at me with a confused expression, but I was able to see the gears turning in her head as she thought about it...

...

I was pushed into a sitting position as Dash looked at me with a nervous smirk. She flicked her mane out of her eyes, but it simply fell back down; though that didn’t seem to damper her mood as she gazed at me with a curious expression. She stepped closer to me as she took in a deep breath as she asked, “So Dominic, any ideas for what we should make your punishment?”

Swallowing dryly, I looked into her piercing rose colored eyes. With us both under this shady tree, her eyes adopted a darker color that seemed to also accent her already... cute, eyes. I opened my mouth, before weakly saying, “Maybe just another massage...”

She shook her head lightly as she stepped closer, and she lowered her flank to sit on one of my knees, and I felt my breath get caught in my throat as she traced a hoof over my chest. Her movements, while jerky and unsure, still seemed practiced to a point. “I was thinking more along the lines of you acting off of what you were doing earlier...”

This is really not what I was trying to accomplish earlier, and how can I act off of something I just learned when I was only trying to get away from her?

Shifting my weight a bit, Dash slipped from her perch, and her eyes widened in surprise as she slid a bit further down, but it was a short movement that left me in a worse position. Dash slid down into my lap, and her wings flared out a bit as a wide smile found its way across her muzzle. I felt her hips shift around a bit as she seemed to get herself comfortable, yet as the smile grew wider, the red hue along the top of her muzzle intensified as well. Her wings weren’t quite fully extended, but I could tell by their quivering that she was enjoying herself a bit.

Her eyes lowered a bit as she was now fully facing me, and I felt her start to shrink away, but almost instantly, her eyes were looking up again with a fiery fire burning within her strong eyes. She giggled softly, before she said, “Your punishment can just be something quick then...”

I was already leaning back against the tree, so there was no way for me to avoid it when her forehead pressed against my own as her eyes locked on my own. Her smile never faltering as she added, “You just need to sit there... and maybe add some action yourself...”

This time, my eyes widened, and I felt my jaw drop as I quickly raised my hands to push her out of my lap, but she shook lightly, before a sharp sensation flared from my shoulder as the sound of her hoof striking flesh reached my ears.

“Dude, heh, don’t fight it. You brought this upon yourself... please don’t make this harder than it already is...”

Before I even had a moment to retaliate, her lips were pressing against my own, and her eyes were tightly shut. She remained like that for a moment, before I felt her relax a bit, and she seemed to try and lace more passion into the kiss. Oddly enough, and frighteningly as well, I felt myself raise my hands up, and gently caress her neck as she-

-:End Flashback:-

“Yo Dominic, are you going to just stand there all day?”

Shaking my head, I felt familiarly out of place, and I turned and looked towards the stallion that had just spoken to me. His short red mane did a good job of reminding me of Dash’s eyes, and I felt myself involuntarily swallow as the flashback nearly flashed back into my mind; that is, until hisvoice dragged me away from it again.

“Whoa... you look like ye just saw a ghost Dominic.” He reached a hoof up and wiped his brow quickly before he said, “Ya know what Dominic, go take a break. Me and the boys can finish this house in no time.”

“No, it’s alright, I will b-be fine.”

I could still feel her lips pressing firmly against my own...

Hard Hat snorted before he said, “Ya aren’t foolin’ me Dom. Besides, ya are slowin’ us down. We woulda been finished by now if you weren’t daydreaming half the time, no offense intended.”

Dash’s firm yet soft hooves slowly snaked around my body as her muzzle tilted sideways, and she lightly moaned against my lips...

Shaking my head again, I gave a heavy sigh. I knew he was right, and the failed attempts at keeping myself and my mind busy and focused weren’t only doing bad on only myself, but also the workers here. I was finally having my own home built, having had to stay in another Mare’s home and on her couch for the past few nights. Twilight, when I had finally been able to return to the safety of her company, had told me Rarity was generous, but this was much more than generous. The only thing she had asked for in return or accepted as promises was the culture and fashion sense of my world...

“Alright... should I come back later today or tomorrow?” I asked as I gave the hammer to him.

“Well, unless ya want to come back to nothing more than a wooden frame, then sure. Tomorrow we should be done with yer house and all you will need to do is worry about furnishing...”

Letting out a tired sigh, I looked up through the open roofing, but only to make sure there weren’t any Rainbow maned Pegasi above. Dash had yet to show her face after that entire... romantical feat.

Turning and making my way towards the end of the unfinished wall, I shook my head, before turning and walking down the stairs. So far my only comfort was in numbers, meaning I knew Dash would continue to stay away should I remain near a majority of the town where anyone would see her should she try anything.

Looking from side to side, I didn’t see anything amiss, and I didn’t see even a single Pegasus in the sky. It would seem I would be fine today, and maybe for once I could visit the park I had scene. I didn’t have anything to do, so I could possibly take a nap if Dash wasn’t around.

Dear god... if anyone else had walked by during Dash’s strange show of romance... well, I'm not sure how well that would have been received by the town.

Angling myself towards the park, I would occasionally look around, and wherever my eyes went, I found eyes looking towards me in curiosity, fear, or even interest, yet luckily, none were rose or purple colored. The skies were clear without too many large clouds. Maybe Dash was at work. But then again, what was her job?

Just then, a pair of Pegasi flew by. At first, I was worried, but their coloration wasn’t something I should be worried about. But as they flew away, I couldn’t help but watch them. I felt a bit of envy grip my heart as the sound of their laughter reached my ears. It didn’t bother me that they were happy... as much as they could fly that is. I am... was a pilot. I didn’t get to see the wreckage of my jet, and I knew that no matter what these ponies did, I would never be able to fly again. Then there was the fact that I couldn’t return home... back to my home. If the facts I had gathered were accurate... then the only way for me home was by jet, and that was no longer an option.

Forcing my head to turn rather sharply, I let out a pained sigh as I continued to walk on. At least I had gotten to fly for a half a decade... though that is barely anything in reality...

Walking over the bridge, I looked down and saw a few fish swim by in the small stream. I wasn’t truly hungry; rather what I craved was meat. I could cook fish... but I didn’t know how to clean it or season it properly. There were chickens, but I had yet to find out who I needed to buy them from. I knew how to clean that, but not how to de-scale a fish.

In due time...

Rechecking my surroundings, I saw not a single living creature... so that meant I was still safe. If I truly wanted a nap, I would need to find a decently hidden spot. I could do with napping in the shade if it meant I wouldn’t receive oral therapy again...

Looking around, I quickly made my way to the base of a tree that was nested beside two others. It was almost like a perfect chair like area. Approaching it, I saw there wasn’t even a view of the sky, which would mean it was even better if Dash came flying by.

Smiling, I turned around, sat down, reclined, and let all my bodily tensions slowly slip away. I knew I wouldn’t fall asleep for long, but at least I would get to let my mind go blank as I relaxed...

...

(Princess Celestia)

Dipping a quill into a bottle of ink, for once, I couldn’t think of what I wanted to say to my dear student. My mind was still reeling from learning what happened those few nights ago, and dream or not; Lulu had been kissed. I wasn’t sure what I should feel, but I knew it was anything but happy. My dear little Lulu had been kissed...

Shaking my head, I redipped the quill into the inkwell, before bringing it to the parchment and began to write...

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

It has been some time since you and your friends have come to Canterlot, and I feel after all your studies and the arrival of your newest friend, that you and the other elements would like to attend a dinner here in the palace. This invitation is to you and the other elements only, so if you should wish, along with any of your friends, then come to Canterlot and arrive for dinner at eight in the palace. I’m sure Princess Luna could also use some interaction with other ponies as well, as her last visit to Ponyville during the latest celebration had done well with her speech lessons.

Yours,

Princess Celestia

...

I didn’t want to appear rude, but I had intentionally made it clear this was for her and her friends only... or more specifically, the other elements. If anything, I hoped their presence would ease my nerves from the revelation that had plagued me for the past few days.

My little Lulu was kissed...

Stepping out into the hallway, I turned and looked at one of my guards and said, “Go tell the kitchen staff that we will be having the elements over for dinner tomorrow evening. Please inform my sister as well.”

“Yes Princess Celestia.”

...

(Dominic’s P.O.V.)

I felt a wide yawn stretch across my lips, and the sun had set at an angle that not only warmed my body, but also remained just out of reach of my eyes. The tree’s upper branches swayed in the gentle breeze that blew through their leaves, while also bringing the smell of blooming flowers along with them; along with another scent that I couldn’t quite place. In the distance, I heard the sound of children playing with their family and friends, and the occasional sound of water splashing from something in the creak nearby.

“SNRK!”

That was when I felt something shift along my body, and an icy chill shot up my spine as something wrapped around my midsection. Opening my eyes, I was still facing the trees canopy above me, and as I tried to look down, I immediately felt someone else’s hair beneath my chin. Instead, I twisted my head and did my best to glance down, and the first thing I saw was a pair of rounded blue ears poking out of a rainbow colored hairdo. That was when I recognized the color pattern, and that icy chill intensified while I felt warmness spread to my cheeks. Turning my head a bit more, I saw what I felt around my body was her wings and fore hooves. She was lying atop me at an angle that suggested she had first simply fallen asleep beside me; yet moved closer to me as she slept. That still didn’t defeat the fact though...

Dash found me when I was sleeping...

There was no way for me to wiggle out of this situation. I didn’t want to touch her wings again, least she get excited in her sleep and wake up. This was the first time in over forty eight hours we had seen each other... unless she was stalking me, and we were both asleep. There wasn’t anything I could do but hope someone stumbled across us, or that she would roll off of me.

If this had been before she decided to make out with me... partially against my own free will, then I would have been slightly more okay with this situation. It wasn’t however, and I was still sitting here beneath her as she slept.

It would seem my luck has started to wear out...

...How the hell did she find me?

Her lips moved inaudibly as she slept, but I saw her wings tense up briefly, before she smiled softly and relaxed. Her hooves rubbed my sides briefly as she snuggled closer to me; the top of her ears rubbing alongside my cheek. That was when two things happened. First, I realized once more, just how soft her fur really was; my hands were resting atop my stomach and underneath her own. The second thing was, a soft jab of pain shot through my stomach, before it was followed by an extremely loud gurgling sound.

I even felt my hands vibrate from the sheer volume of the rumble.

Dash tensed up, before her head began to lift, and she blinked a few times as she rubbed her cheek with one of her forelegs. Her wings stretched wide as she trembled briefly, and that was when her muzzle grazed my chin. Her eyes blinked open widely, and that was soon followed by a nearly unheard, ‘eep’ noise.

Her eyes looked into my own with surprise and fear, and she backed away, before something else flashed through her eyes. Recognition dawned over her expression, and that was soon followed by a sheepish smile as she settled back down in my lap. Her wings slowly flared out as she got comfortable again, before she asked, “Hey dude, how was your nap?”

I felt my own cheeks begin to heat up more as I felt her nestle dangerously close to a certain region.

Clearing my throat, I looked away as I said, “It was fine.” Looking around was all I cared about at the moment. That is, until she spoke up herself.

“Hey, Twilight was looking for you. She said it was important... but I don’t think it is as important as hanging out with a good friend.” Then she fluttered her eyes at me. It looked more awkward coming from her than attractive, and she seemed to not be as used to it as she let on. It still made me blush however...

Grabbing Dash and sitting up, she ‘eeped’ loudly, before she looked towards me with a nervous smirk as a large blush began to span across her muzzle. Before she said anything however, I rolled my hips to the side as I slid my feet to one side, and I maneuvered them under me so I was now kneeling. Dash was by now looking towards me with uncertainty, You know... I would get some genuine payback right now, but she would misinterpret it...

Looking up, I saw the bridge that spanned over the creak, and an idea popped into my head. Or maybe I can get some payback after all. Nothing like a romantic walk back to Twilights home will do the trick.

“H-Hey, what are you doing!?”

Smirking as I fully stood up, I held Dash gently yet firm enough to keep her pressed against me. I looked down at her and I tried to give her the most seductive gaze I could. “I'm merely taking a stroll with my mare...” Her eyes widened as her jaw opened a bit, along with a red hue spreading across her muzzle. Internally, I chuckled while her eyes quickly lowered, and an uncertain gaze flashed across her features.

We were fifty feet from the bridge, but I needed to maintain this gentle walk, so I knew it would be a minute or two before we reached it. I wasn’t too keen on holding her like this, as she was starting to smile a bit more, and the redness was spreading wildly, before she looked up at me and asked, “Y-Your mare...?”

Gently, and with a slightly heated tone, I smiled down at her as I did my best to look towards her with a loving grin, though it only worked so far as I was internally cringing now. She didn’t seem to notice, instead, her eyes kept shifting away from my own, and I felt her starting to tremble in my hold. We were only thirty feet from the bridge now, so I said once more, “Yes... my mare...”

Twenty feet.

Her smile widened, and she giggled lightly, and I almost started to feel bad about what I was planning, but then I remembered the sharp pain in my shoulder after our make out session. That is what solidified my resolve that this was totally acceptable. I would just need to check to make sure it wasn’t too shallow or there were any rocks in the creak.

Dash closed her eyes as she snuggled closer to me, and I saw the smile on her muzzle growing wider. It was just too damn adorable to keep looking at!

I walked onto the bridge just as Dash opened up her eyes, and she remained looking up at me as we reached the center of the bridge. I stopped as I overlooked the creek, while also taking discreet glances down at the water’s surface. From where we were, it looked like the water was at most four feet deep. Just perfect...

Smiling as I looked at Dash, she smiled back, and without any warning, I leaned forward and gently kissed the top of her nose. She squeaked in surprise, yet it quickly morphed into one of absolute joy. I leaned against the railing of the bridge as I raised my head, and I stopped only when I felt her ear brush against my lips. I felt her shiver in delight, along with her wings subtly pressing against my body and arms. Opening my lips, I let out a shallow breath that seemed to spark something within Dash, as I heard her give a sharp gasp, before I whispered as huskily as I could; which sent shivers up my own spine from how well it sounded, even if it was an act. “Dash dear...” glancing down, I saw her eyes were closed as she was biting her bottom lip, “Payback is a bitch...”

I pulled away just in time to see her eyes snap open, and she asked in a surprised tone, “What!?”

That was when I released my hold of her, and she plummeted towards the water without a second thought.

SPLASH!!!

That was when I burst out in the loudest laughter fit ever.

Stumbling back a few steps as to not fall over, I doubled over as I heard Dash break the surface of the water, spluttering. I couldn’t see her face, but I sure as hell wish I could as I continued to laugh for all I was worth.

“WHAT THE BUCK DUDE!?!?!?”

Then I fell onto my back laughing. I was laughing so much it hurt. That pun!

There was the sound of splashing, and soon afterwards, the sound of something wet yet soaked sounded on the wood. It sounded like a squishing wet sound that made me laugh even harder. I could feel the wood shaking beneath me from what I could surmise as stomps. Most likely out of anger.

Peaking up from the floor boards, I saw a soaking wet Dash standing there. The scowl across her muzzle was anything far from intimidating. Especially when she was literally dripping water from her muzzle as she glared at me. Put that glare on my commanding officers face, and I can totally see someone dropping dead from fear, but on Dash... it was just plain adorable. I wouldn’t mind giving her another kiss for a picture of this image...

Then she practically growled at me as she asked, “Care to bucking explain what that was for, Dominic...?”

Letting my laughing die down to a more manageable level, I sat up with my back to the opposite railing that I had tossed her over, before I wiped away a few stray tears. I looked back at her, and I felt a few more chuckles escape before I quelled it under her fiery gaze, and I said, “That was payback for a few days ago...”

She growled once more, before she closed her muzzle, and she gave me a thoughtful gaze before saying, “Ok... I see how it is.” She smirked before she stepped closer to me, but I quickly held a hand up to her chest. My hand sank into her fur, and water immediately began to drip down my wrist. Her smirk grew wider as she continued to look at me, before she flared her wings out and said, “You wanna play that game Dominic, well then... I guess I will just start to prank you as well.”

“Er...”

She winked at me, before she backed away and said, “Well dude, come on... since you don’t want to share my company under a tree, we should get goin to egg, uh, Twilight’s place. She said it was really important.” Standing up, I wasn’t too sure what I had just gotten myself into, but it wasn’t like I had a choice; she had already started walking away...
