Vinyl pushed open the door to their bedroom. "First thing's first," she said, stepping over to Octavia's vanity mirror. A magic-wrapped wash cloth drifted in from the bathroom, and Vinyl wiped her face clean of her makeup.

Octavia followed suit, albeit a bit more gently and using their full-length mirror instead. She turned, tossing the moist towel into a hamper, and removed her earrings. Her eyes went back to her own reflection, and she watched herself in the mirror, reaching around and smoothing out her dress a little. "Do you ever wonder why we bother wearing such outfits when nudity is the standard? Always seemed just a little bit odd to me, honestly."

Vinyl sauntered over and nuzzled in against Octavia's neck. "I always figured it was because they're so fun to take off," she said just before taking the back of the strapless dress in her teeth and gently tugging on it. The silky black fabric slid across her gray fur, combining with Vinyl's hot breath to sent a shiver along Octavia's spine.

"Mmm, you may have something there." Tavi curled around to lock lips with the unicorn as the dress fell in a circular heap around her hind hooves. She moved her forelegs up and around her lover's neck, pushing down on Vinyl's blue dress until it hit the floor as well. Their lips popped apart, and Octavia slid her muzzle across her lover's cheek and down her neck, nuzzling into her fur.

"You ready for your present, Tavi?"

Octavia nodded, and Vinyl tilted her head toward the bed. Tavi hopped onto the red sheets, retaining her signature grace even through her excitement. She stared lovingly at Vinyl from her spot on the bed, lying on her side. She flicked her tail up and over her body, taking and holding it in her hooves. "Well, I'm waiting," she said softly.

Vinyl's horn lit up as a smug grin spread across her face. Nothing happened for a few moments, and Tavi quirked an eyebrow in mild confusion. Then her ears perked up as a quiet rustling reached them, and she turned her head slightly toward the noise. A slender, black tendril slid into view, curling up and around the edge of the bed. Another soon followed, and then another. Octavia felt something brush against her back, and she bolted from the bed with a shriek.

"Vinyl, what the hell are those things?!"

The unicorn patted one of Tavi's hooves as the mare clung to her back. "Surprise, Tavi," she said, "I got you some sexy tentacles to play with."

"Bloody Hell, Vinyl, I was hoping that some sea monster had slithered into the bedroom. Why would you do something like that?"

Vinyl sighed. "And I was hoping you'd be a little more excited about the idea. I mean, you've been talking about trying some new things to spice up—"

"I meant flavored lubes, exotic vacations, or maybe some weird toys, not getting raped by tentacles, you blistering idiot!"

"They're not gonna rape you, geeze," Scratch said with a roll of her eyes. "They're not even alive."

Octavia squinted across the bedroom at the tendrils. "They're not?"

"Nah, they're just animated with magic, like those auto-sweeping brooms and dusters. They can't do anything outside of their set parameters or manual commands. They pretty much are weird toys." Octavia slowly slid back down to the floor as Scratch continued, "I spent months working on the spell to get it just right, not to mention putting the tentacles themselves together."

Octavia stared at the cluster of tentacles, all of which were holding themselves up and swaying from side-to-side as she edged closer. She reached out a hoof gingerly, prodding at one of the slender objects. The smooth tendril responded by lapping against her hoof like a tongue. "It's wet," she stated simply, wiping her hoof against the carpet, "and slippery."

"Yeah, that one's a penetrator. Lubes itself so it can slide inside easier."

Tavi was shaking her head. "I don't know about this. It's more than a little weird."

"Heh, yeah," Vinyl agreed. "Not gonna lie, it felt pretty weird the first time I tried it." The questioning expression on her girlfriend's face prompted her to elaborate, "I tested it out a few times to make sure it worked right."

"Hmm, why am I not surprised," Tavi muttered as Vinyl walked over to her. "I'm still not sure about this."

"C'mon, just give it a shot." Vinyl watched her lover's gaze slowly move back to one of the tendrils. "I promise they won't hurt you."

Octavia drew in a slow breath, and let out an even slower one. Vinyl had been willing to try new things that she had suggested, so it wouldn't really be fair if she didn't at least give it a quick test. "Alright, I'll try it. I'd hate for so much effort to go to waste, after all. What do I need to do?"

Vinyl smiled softly and kissed the pony. "Just lie down on the bed, belly-down, and I'll handle the rest."

Octavia nodded, turned, and climbed onto the bed after another deep breath, eying the black tentacles that were still waving around slightly. She paused as she heard Vinyl's voice again from behind her.

"Hey, Tavi? If you really don't like it, we can stop anytime."

Octavia smiled warmly and nodded again, settling down on the ruffled red sheets and tucking her hind legs up under her body. As she did her best to steady her nerves, a little tendril curled itself around her hoof and patted against it reassuringly. "Okay, start anytime you're ready," she said, looking over at Vinyl as she hopped up next to her.

Almost immediately, one of the thinner tentacles reached over toward Octavia's rump. The wet, slippery tip slithered across her right flank as another tentacle slid across the sheets and wrapped around Octavia's tail, lifting it up and gently pinning it to her back. Wasting no time, the slimy tendril prodded at her anus, massaging its moist tip against her outer sphincter. Octavia tensed at first, but slowly relaxed as she felt Vinyl's hoof rubbing across her back.

"It's okay, Tavi; I'm right here," Vinyl whispered, nuzzling against the side of her lover's neck. Octavia nodded slowly, lying her head down on a pillow as it was levitated under her. After another few seconds of teasing, her eyes slid shut as the tentacle gave a firm push, slipping inside her.

To say it felt weird would have been a severe understatement. It certainly wasn't the location that was odd for Octavia, but the way the slimy thing wriggled around inside her almost made her jump up and run right then and there. But she stayed put, trusting that the weirdness would pass as Vinyl had suggested.

"Could you relax a little? You're gonna pinch it off in there."

Octavia opened her eyes at the sound of Vinyl's words, and noticed that she was gritting her teeth. "It's.... It feels bizarre, like an alien or something." She fell into silence as Vinyl made a trail of kisses up her neck and down her muzzle. Their lips met again, and Octavia moaned into her lover's mouth as she felt the slippery tendril slide in deeper, pushing through and beyond her second barrier with ease. It pulled out a bit as the two continued to kiss, then it pushed into her a little further than before, making Octavia's already-closed eyes squeeze shut even tighter. Soon, the tentacle had a steady rhythm going, and Tavi had begun to loosen up as it steadily made its way further inside her with each thrust.

Octavia rested her head against the pillow, finding herself enjoying the stimulation if she just didn't think about the source too much. Her eyes shot open again, however, when something poked at the edge of her mouth. A wet, blunt-tipped tendril slid across her lips, and she pushed herself up on her forelegs to slap it away.

"Don't you dare," Octavia said, spitting and rubbing a hoof at where the appendage had touched her. "You know how I feel about that."

"What?" Vinyl asked with faux innocence as the tendril moved away.

Octavia glared as best she could for a mare in her position. "I don't want some thing inside my mouth."

"Is that so?" Vinyl said, leaning up and kissing her lover. Her tongue slid out and into the other's mouth, and Tavi gently suckled on it before Vinyl pulled away again. "Hypocrite."

Octavia huffed. "That's different and you know—ohh!" she cried out as the slender tentacle rotated inside her. It continued to twist as it gently pushed in and pulled out, and Tavi fell back to the pillow with a soft moan, her hooves curling against the crimson sheets.

"Hey, I think she likes it," Vinyl commented with a smirk. "Tavi, you ready for a little more?"

With Octavia's nod of approval, the tendril that held her tail out of the way wrapped around her and lifted her hindquarters up and off the sheets, allowing the one that had bothered her mouth to move down and caress itself against her inner thighs. It curled around into a horseshoe shape, circling her crotch to massage against both thighs at once and matting her fur with its slippery perspiration. The tentacle's bent midsection hung between her legs for a few seconds before flexing upward and pressing against her already-dripping entrance.

Octavia grimaced for just a moment as the slimy shaft rubbed against her. "This is so weird."

"You okay?" Vinyl asked, still rubbing a hoof along her girlfriend's back.

"Yes, I'm fine. It's actually rather nice, so long as I don't think about the wet, slimy, gooey...." Octavia shut her eyes again as the tendril shifted around and slid its length along her slit, pausing to flick its tip at the sensitive nub buried at one end. Despite the disgust lingering at the forefront of her mind, the slick tendrils playing at her front and thrusting into her rear were already pushing her toward the edge. She could feel the pressure building up inside her, and it only increased as the teasing tentacle started to double over on itself and push into her entrance with a squishy squeak.

As one tentacle thrust in, the other would pull out almost completely, and then they would reverse. The strokes were long, slow, and steady. Tavi was panting a little as they both rotated and squirmed inside her, massaging the walls of both her passages and pushing her ever closer to release.

"Stop. Stop!"

All the tentacles ceased their movements, and Vinyl leaned over the bed with a look of concern. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes," Octavia breathed. "I mean, no, not with that. I just...." She took a moment to catch her breath before clarifying, "I just want you closer."

A wide smile broke out on Vinyl's face, and three more tentacles wrapped around the Earth pony's body. They lifted her up and off the sheets, allowing Vinyl to shimmy in beneath her girlfriend. Octavia was lowered down on top of the unicorn, who whispered, "Anything for you, Tavi."

Octavia leaned down to lay a passionate and moderately-sloppy kiss upon her lover's lips, giving her tongue a brief swirl around Vinyl's. "Alright, you can keep go—ohhhh! Oh ho, ghhh...." Tavi quickly digressed into wordless moans as the tentacles resumed thrusting and twisting, pushing deeper, faster, and harder than they had before. Her ears folded back and she pushed her muzzle against Vinyl's again, swapping saliva as her backside was pounded by the pair of slimy appendages.

Her moans grew shorter and higher as the tentacles pounded her, edging her closer and closer. Octavia let a long, low, incoherent moan out into her lover's mouth as she reached the edge and fell over it, the pleasure rippling out from her nethers and across her body. "Ohhh, Vinyl," she breathed between kisses, grinding her body against that of the mare under her. She involuntarily clamped down on the tentacles, her body refusing to let them go just yet. The tendrils slowed and then eventually retracted as she nuzzled her muzzle into the soft fur of Vinyl's neck.

"Well?" Vinyl asked after a few minutes of shared silence. "You like it?"

Octavia nodded into Vinyl's coat. "Mmmhmm, I did indeed. Perhaps tentacles aren't so bad, once you're used to the oddity."

A wicked smile came into being on Vinyl's face. "Great to hear, babe, because we're just gettin' warmed up."

"Are we?"

"Oh yeah." Vinyl ran a hoof across her lover's face. "This next part is gonna be a little strange, but I promise you'll be okay. You trust me?"

Octavia shifted against the sheets and planted a quick kiss on the unicorn's forehead, responding, "Of course I do."

"Alright, here we go." Quite possibly on cue, four more tentacles curled up from under the corners of the bed and snaked their way to Octavia. Each one wrapped around a leg as the three holding her torso lifted her up slightly. Her forelegs were quickly pinned to her chest, and her hind legs were spread as the tendrils pulled them outward.

Tavi tugged against her restraints, and was about to protest when she caught sight of Vinyl again. The mare was staring up at her, and something about the look in her eyes brought a sense of calm to Tavi's mind. She may have been more than a little reckless at times, but she knew that Vinyl would never hurt her. Not intentionally, anyway. Octavia gave a brief nod of consent, and let her body go limp in the tentacle grip.

Vinyl's horn lit once again, and her eyes moved to point at the foot of the bed. Octavia followed her gaze, and her eyes widened just a bit when she saw caught sight of what was coming. No less than six thin tendrils were slithering up from under the bed, and all of them were headed straight for Tavi's back end.

As she watched, the six tentacles came together, twisting themselves into a tapered cylinder. The cluster rose up behind her, dripping a little of its slick goo onto the bed. It approached her slowly, pausing a little ways from her moist slit for a few seconds, as if waiting for something. Then the six tendrils pushed their way inside her, stretching her cavity ever so slightly. The cluster pushed in all the way to her cervix before retreating almost completely out of her, then they repeated the process.

Tavi let out a groan of approval as the tentacles thrust in and out of her with a steady rhythm, the load being far more substantial than the previous entrant. Her next moan rose into a scream as the tendril cluster came apart inside her, all six little appendages moving independently to massage her inner walls. Tavi trashed against the tendrils binding her limbs as she shrieked. "Stop! Stop it! Get it out!"

Vinyl gasped as she speedily lit up her horn. All of the tentacles inside her hastily withdrew, and the ones wrapped around Octavia released their grip on her. The Earth pony landed on the bed and immediately curled up on her side, pulling her tail between her hind legs and clutching it in her forelegs.

"T-Tavi?" Vinyl said softly, stroking a hoof through the shivering mare's mane. "Are you okay?"

"Don't ever do that again! Oh, pony feathers, it felt like I was," Tavi brought a hoof to her mouth as she suppressed a gag, "it felt like I was full of worms or something! I think... I think I'm going to be sick." Her hoof went back up, pressing against her muzzle as she fought the urge to vomit.

Vinyl pulled Tavi into a soft embrace, continuing to stroke her gray mane. "I, uh.... Ah, horse apples, Tavi, I'm sorry. I thought it was kind of a neat trick."

It was a few minutes before Octavia lowered her hoof, confident that she wasn't going to throw up. "It's alright, Vinyl. I just.... It was too much, too weird, too creepy for me."

"Do you want to stop, then?"

"No. It was great before they, erm, separated. I don't care for the squirming at all." Octavia shook her head. "And you know darn well that a tongue doesn't wriggle and flail around quite like that."

"I wasn't gonna say anything," the unicorn reassured. She might have teased about it once before, but she wasn't about to do it when Tavi was already so upset. Vinyl instead kissed her way down her lover's neck, leaving little wet spots as she went. "Here," she whispered, "can I make it up to you?"

"Mmmhmm," was Octavia's reply, letting Vinyl move her tail back out of the way. Her fur became matted with saliva as Vinyl dragged her tongue down along her barrel. She hummed in appreciation as wet lips brushed across her left nipple. White hooves rolled the mare onto her back as her teat was softly suckled. "Mmmhh, you're so gentle tonight, Scratch."

"Yeah, well, tonight's your night, Tavi," Vinyl replied, eliciting a tiny squeak from her lover as she lightly nipped at her right teat. A few more careful caresses and she moved even further down, running her upper lips across Tavi's lower lips as she moved past. Her tongue snaked out, swirling itself around Octavia's already-loosened anus. The Earth pony's head fell back against the bed as the tongue pushed inside, her ears flattening against her head again.

"Oh gosh, Vinyl, you haven't done that in," but Octavia's statement was lost to another wordless moan as Vinyl lapped and massaged her rear entrance. Her breathing grew heavy as the unicorn's tongue made circles around her hole, occasionally pushing further inside for a few moments. Octavia reached a hoof down toward her own crotch, but felt it get lightly slapped away just before Vinyl's hoof pressed against her instead.

"That's okay, Tavi," Vinyl remarked, pulling her head back for just a moment, "I'll get the check this time."

Octavia couldn't help but giggle, but that soon fell away to dull hums of appreciation as she stroked one of her free hooves through her unicorn lover's mane. She supposed that the tentacles weren't really that different from tongues, although they were certainly longer.

Vinyl hummed into her lover's crotch as a blunt tentacle pushed itself between her own moist folds. No reason for Tavi to have all the fun, after all. After a few more minutes, Vinyl's tongue pulled back suddenly, and she rose to her hooves. "I've been saving this one for last," she said, her horn glowing again as the sheets rustled behind her.

Octavia curled her body upward, looking across the bed. A new tentacle was sliding in past Vinyl's hooves, this one quite unlike any previous. It was thicker, for one thing, and every other inch was pinched in, resulting in wide ribbing all along its length. This new one wasted no time, going right into Octavia's back door without even so much as knocking. Vinyl's trademark smirk returned as her girlfriend's head hit the pillow, her eyes clamping shut.

"Ah, ah, ah," Tavi gasped with each bulge that passed inside her, stretching her out and then letting her close around it's slippery shaft before pushing in and doing it all over again. Her slit was positively dripping as the tentacle pleasured her hindquarters, pressing in deeper, and deeper, until Octavia was sure that it was going to come out her mouth. Instead, the tentacle came to a halt and reversed direction, making little popping noises that accompanied the mare's blissful groans.

"Oh, sweet Celestia, Vinyl!" Tavi bit her lower lip as the tentacle stopped and thrust back into her again. "I'm... I'm...." Octavia sucked in a sharp gasp, her eyes shooting open as the six tendrils penetrated her slit again. She held that breath until she felt Vinyl's hot tongue pressing against her clit, and then she could take no more.

Octavia had to bite her own hoof to muffle her scream as she came harder than she could ever recall, fluid leaking out around the tendrils and splashing onto Vinyl's chin a little, though the unicorn didn't seem to mind. Her hips bucked with each contraction and pulse of pleasure that shot through her. Her breathing was heavy as her bitten hoof was pulled away from her mouth by another tendril, and then her other forehoof. Her hind legs were spread wide and her whole body was lifted off the sheets as the relentless tentacles continued to pound both her holes. Her chest was pressed up against Vinyl's, and she leaned her chin against the unicorn's neck as she felt another orgasm coming up fast.

Vinyl nibbled on Tavi's neck, and the Earth pony rewarded her by screaming in her ear as she climaxed. "V-v-v-vi-hi-hinyl!" Tavi squealed, unable to keep from trashing against her restraints. The tendrils around her legs tightened, holding her in place as she writhed and panted.

Vinyl tugged and sucked on Tavi's neck, but stopped suddenly as she came herself, further drenching the thick tentacle inside her. "Oh-ho, yeah," she growled, pitching her head back ever-so-slightly and clenching her teeth. She ground her hips down into Octavia's as the tentacle slid out of her with a squelching sound. It was only too bad she couldn't have synchronized with Tavi, but oh well. She went back to nibbling and suckling on Tavi's neck, while the tentacles ceaselessly hammered the Earth pony.

Octavia's mouth opened wide, but only the tiniest squeak escaped her as her body was rocked by another electric orgasm. Her mouth hung open, no sound escaping her until she gasped sharply and clenched her teeth, her tail twitching the flicking all by itself.

Finally, the tentacles pulled out of her, letting her built-up liquid pour out onto the crimson sheets. The tendrils lowered her to the bed, releasing her legs. As soon as she was free, she wrestled Vinyl onto the bed with her and assaulted her mouth, face, and neck with kisses, pulling Vinyl up against her own sweat-soaked coat. She traveled down and around her neck, then back up to her mouth. Sticky saliva oozed out from between their joined lips as she pressed their muzzles together and ravaged the unicorn's mouth with her tongue.

"Wow," Vinyl said when she was finally free of Octavia's sloppy barrage of affection, "I take it you liked it, then."

"Mmmmmmmmm," was Octavia's only response as she buried her nose in the fur of Vinyl's chest, her hooves wrapped firmly around the unicorn as the tentacles lay limp on the bed.

Vinyl just smiled, stroking a hoof through her lover's mane. She leaned sideways to plant a gentle kiss against her forehead and whispered, "Happy birthday, Tavi."

Author's Note

I started this as an excuse to write shameless tentacle clop, but it ended up being a little bit more. Hell, this is really less about tentacles and more about trust and love between two mares. This is both my first attempt at real romance, and my first attempt at erotic fiction, so I hope it wasn't too terrible. I also wanted to try taking tentacles in a somewhat-different direction. I was gonna have an experiment, so why not go for broke, right? If it sucked, feel free to let me know why. If it didn't suck, then I hope you enjoyed it.
