One Night with Celestia

The two remaining months flew by; Lavender and Celestia finished up the last bit of wedding planning with some time to spare. Although, since Celestia couldn’t help out too much with the wedding planning, she offered her input from time to time on the various decorative details that she wanted. She hated that Lavender had to take on the brunt of the work by himself, but duty called and she couldn’t really throw herself one hundred percent at the wedding planning. Lavender was fine with it since it wasn’t the hardest thing he’s ever done. It wasn’t like they were having a big, fancy wedding anyway. He had sent out invitations to his parents and various other family members and friends who would be able to make the trip to Canterlot for the wedding. Surprisingly, more ponies than he thought would be able to attend the wedding. The majority were members of his family; the rest were some old college friends, some foalhood friends, and even one of his old marefriends, Sunflower Fields, was able to make it. Celestia wasn’t too distraught with Lavender inviting an old marefriend since Sunflower was already married, and wasn’t going to try to steal Lavender away from her. Lavender knew how jealous some mares could get, but he didn’t expect Celestia to be that way since she was better than that, or at least he hoped. Some friends of Celestia’s were able to attend, the majority of them being political and business ponies that she had befriended over the years. A few distant family members of Celestia’s were also able to attend, although it was nowhere near the number that Lavender was expecting with his family. He figured she just had a small family and didn’t think too much of it. Obviously, Luna was going to be there, being Celestia’s sister and all. Everything was in order regarding the wedding and now it was just a waiting game.

The big day had finally arrived. As with any wedding involving royalty, security was beefed up to discourage any malicious acts. Guards were stationed at every possible entrance and exit to the building, as well as a few patrolling the hallways. They kept a watchful eye over anything and everything that went on. It would be a foolish endeavor for anypony to try to attack Celestia now with the high concentration of guards and the fact that Celestia could hold her own in a battle.

The cathedral was fully decorated; white cloths and flowers hung from just about every square inch of the walls and ceiling. Light from the sun shone in through the colorful stained glass windows and cast a brilliant rainbow of colors across the floor. Lit candles hung on the walls in between the windows, adding to the colorful sunlight. The altar was the main focal point and was decorated with flowers that hit every colorful note of the rainbow. A vibrant crimson colored carpet ran the pathway down the middle of the cathedral all the way to the altar. The guests had all arrived and were waiting patiently for the wedding to start.

Lavender was in the back room with Princess Cadence, who was the pony presiding over the wedding ceremony. Since a member of royalty was being wed, only a royal pony could officially marry the mare and stallion. Luna would have been Celestia’s first choice, but since Luna was in the ceremony as Celestia’s mare of honor, she couldn’t. So, this job went to Cadence, who didn’t mind doing it and wanted a reason to get away from the Crystal Empire for a day. It also seemed fitting for Cadence to marry the two since she was the princess of love. Lavender’s best mare, his oldest sister, also accompanied him in the room.

Lavender checked himself over for what seemed like the thousandth time; he made sure his suit still looked immaculate, and his mane and tail were still combed the way he wanted. Naturally, he was nervous with all those ponies that were going to be watching him when he was up on the altar. They had rehearsed the ceremony several times the day before to get the time of events down perfect. It didn’t seem as bad when they had no one watching, but that was how it always was. Anyone could get stage fright at a big event like this, but Lavender wasn’t going to wimp out now. He did not want to think of the horrors that Celestia could unleash upon him if he chose to ditch her at the altar. Publically, she wouldn’t say too much about it, but privately, she would probably have him chained up in a dungeon somewhere. He shook those thoughts from his head; he was letting his imagination get away from him.

“You look fine,” his sister reassured as she used her magic to run a brush through his mane.

Lavender was the odd one out of his siblings with both his sisters being unicorns.

“Yeah, I guess I do,” he smiled. “Thanks again for being here.”

“Are you kidding? I wouldn’t miss my little brother’s wedding for anything.”

He smiled once more, glad that she and his other family members were able to make it. It really meant a lot to him.

“Everything will be fine,” Cadence chimed in, offering her own words of encouragement. “This is your and Celestia’s special day; a day that you will never forget.”

“Thank you, Princess,” Lavender replied, respectfully.

The cue was given for Cadence, Lavender, and the best mare to take their positions at the altar. Lavender took a deep breath and exhaled slowly in an attempt to stave off some of his nervousness. They joined Luna, Celestia’s bridesmaids, and Lavender’s groomscolts to await Celestia’s grand entrance. Cadence went through the initial part of the ceremony before pausing to call everyone to their hooves as Celestia entered.

Using their magic, two unicorn guards opened the doors at the end of the cathedral. Celestia began her slow walk down the aisle with three little fillies skipping ahead of her spreading flower petals in their wake. Lavender couldn’t help but smile at how beautiful she looked. She was wearing a flowing white and gold trimmed dress. An orange sun, similar to her cutie mark, adorned either side of the dress. Her mane was styled in a different way than how she normally wore it; it was a special occasion after all. She held her wings out as she walked, showing off her massive wingspan to everyone. It didn’t matter all that much to Lavender; she could have walked down the aisle in her birthday suit and she still would have been beautiful.

Once she reached Lavender, the ceremony continued. He took this moment to gaze into her gorgeous violet colored eyes.

“Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Princess Celestia and Lavender Bloom,” Cadence started.

Time seemed to blur for the two as Cadence continued on with the ceremony, running through everything they had rehearsed the day before. Before they knew it, it was over. They were officially mare and colt. They kissed as newly married couples do, although Celestia slipped in a little tongue which caught Lavender by surprise. When she pulled away, she flashed a wicked grin his way.

“You dirty mare,” he muttered.

Once the wedding ceremony had concluded, they retreated to the reception hall. It was a giant white room with violet colored tables scattered about. A long table ran the length of one wall and was covered with various foods and drinks from all over Equestria, many of which Lavender had never even seen before. Celestia spared no expense on the catering. They spent the time here enjoying a few drinks and snacks, and having the various friends and family members take turns congratulating them. Most gave words of encouragement and marriage advice, others such as Luna and Lavender’s father gave some playful ribbing. Despite that, this was the happiest day of their life.

Lavender and Celestia sat at the table at the head of the room which was tradition for the newly married couple at the reception. This was their day to be important.

Once everyone had said their congratulations, Luna trotted up to the table that Lavender and Celestia were sitting at.

“Enjoying yourself?” Celestia asked.

“Oh yeah,” Luna replied. “Been eying a couple of the bachelors here. Like that dark brown pegasus sitting over there by himself,” she motioned her head over to a table with a brown pegasus stallion sipping his drink. “Thinking about seeing if he’s doing anything later.”

She gave a seductive grin to accentuate her point, while Celestia just rolled her eyes.

“You know, you’re supposed to be working after this,” Celestia reminded.

“I know. We won’t take too long,” Luna flashed another grin.

“If you say so,” Celestia rolled her eyes once more.

“I’ll talk to you two later,” Luna said as she cast her gaze back over at the pegasus.

She trotted over to the pegasus and began conversing with him. Neither Celestia, nor Lavender could hear the conversation, not that they wanted to eavesdrop anyway. Celestia was just happy that Luna was trying to get the attention of other stallions and not trying to seduce Lavender anymore. Even though this pegasus stallion was sure to be just a one night stand so to speak, it was a start.

A couple of minutes later, Luna and her new stallion friend left, most likely to go someplace where they could have some privacy. Luna cast a victorious grin back at Celestia as she walked away, almost like a mare who had just claimed her prize. Celestia couldn’t help but let out a slight chuckle.

“Guess we know what she’s going to do,” she said to Lavender before shifting the focus of the conversation. “So, anyway, was this everything you expected it to be?”

“Oh yes, I wouldn’t change a thing,” he replied. It was the truth. Despite the nervousness, he enjoyed every minute of the ceremony.

“That’s good; I’m glad to hear that,” she said as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

She was happy, both herself and that Lavender was happy. She tried not to think too much about the bittersweet thought that lingered in the back of her mind. The fact that most ponies lived, grew old, and eventually passed away when she didn’t seem to age a day. It no doubt would happen to Lavender, leaving Celestia sad and alone if she was a normal mare, but she was anything but. Rather than dwell on the inevitable sadness that was sure to come on his death, she would celebrate his life and the time they spent together. It was how she coped with the many friends she made over the years and having to watch every single one of them die. Sorrow like that could have broken her if she let it. She pushed those thoughts from her head and focused on enjoying the reception.

For their honeymoon afterwards, they chose to stay in the Canterlot castle rather than go somewhere else. This was mainly because Celestia had to resume her normal duties the next day. She was able to work out a deal with Luna so Celestia could have the rest of this day off to do whatever, even though they were more than likely going to spend the entire time in her bedroom.

The reception drew to a close; Celestia and Lavender said their goodbyes to their friends and family members before retreating to Celestia’s bedroom. There was barely any time for the bedroom door to close before they started heading toward the bed, stripping off articles of clothing as they went. They both knew what newly married couples did on their honeymoon, and they would be no different.

Celestia was the first in the bed, lying on her back. Lavender locked her in a kiss as he crawled over top of her.

“This time; you lie back and I will take care of everything,” Lavender spoke.

He began by planting small kisses on her as he worked his way down her body, only stopping to playfully nibble at her skin. It was just enough to be pleasurable, but not painful. Any area that he did nibble at, he made sure to follow it up with a massage from his tongue just in case he did bite down a little too hard. No objections came from Celestia during his foreplay, instead, she just moaned in agreement. He went further down, coming to a stop just shy of the area where newborn foals received their meals. The area was slightly enlarged since Celestia was with foal, her mammary glands were starting to produce the milk necessary for a nursing foal to get its nutrients until it was old enough to eat solid food. He ran his tongue around one of the nipples, getting the area thoroughly wet with his saliva, and producing another accepting moan from Celestia. Once he felt he worked the area enough with his tongue, he took the nipple in his mouth and began suckling on it. The motion of his lips coaxed out some of the warm fluid. He savored the milk as it hit his palette; it tasted better than he thought it would, and if he dared say, he enjoyed it. Releasing the nipple from his lips, he shifted his focus to the second nipple which had gone neglected until now. Just like with the first one, he suckled at the second nipple, again, coaxing out some milk. He felt like a foal getting his meal for the day from his mother.

Once finished with her nipples, he started working his way downward again, this time coming to a stop between her hind legs. Her clitoris begged for attention as the foreplay caused it to almost double in size. Lavender gave in to its cries for attention as he let his tongue go to work. Celestia let out a soft ‘ooh’ as his tongue started caressing her sweet spot. Using his hoof, he began slowly rubbing her marehood, which was almost soaking wet now. He spread her labial folds apart as he inserted his hoof just enough to find and stimulate her g-spot. A sharp moan from Celestia indicated that he found his target. At the same time his tongue didn’t let up on her clitoris, which he alternated between massaging and suckling on it. In response to this, she arched her back slightly as pleasure shot up her spine like bolts of electricity. The double pronged attack on her g-spot and clitoris sent her into sensory overload. He brought her closer and closer to ecstasy, increasing the frequency of his movements and suckling when he knew she was getting close. In one final push, he stimulated both her pleasure centers as fast as he could. Her back arched violently as the most intense orgasm she’s ever felt tore through her body like a rampaging bull through a fragile fence. Lavender felt a pressure on his hoof as her pelvic muscles clamped down on it.

“Oh, fuck me!” she cursed, not giving two damns that she did.

Smirking at Celestia’s outburst, Lavender stopped momentarily to let her ride it out. Once her body returned to the normal laying down position, he slowly withdrew his hoof from her marehood. She let out a few moans as the friction generated a few spurts of pleasure. His hoof was completely soaked with sex juices and burning hot, like he just dunked his hoof in a pot of boiling water. The muscles in her abdomen quivered at the slightest touch due to the hypersensitivity of her nethers.

“I love you, Lavender,” she exclaimed between breaths.

“I love you, too.”

Now, it was Lavender’s turn. Using one of his hooves, he guided his member into position for penetration into Celestia’s swollen marehood. She let out gasp as he slid inside her; her nether region was still sensitive from her earlier orgasm. He slid himself inside as far as he could go, his tip stopping just shy of her cervix. Inside her, it was warmer than usual due to the increased blood flow to the area brought on by that intense orgasm just moments earlier. It was another feeling that Lavender quite enjoyed, the damp, warmness that surrounded his member. Using long strokes, he rocked his hips back and forth in a slow, but steady rate. He didn’t want to come too early, and wanted to see if he could give Celestia another orgasm. The look on her face revealed that she would love another orgasm. Lavender was happy to fulfill that wish. As he continued with his thrusting, her breathing quickened as a telltale sign that she was getting ready to come again. He increased the frequency of his thrusting, bringing both himself and her closer to cloud nine. Celestia let out a loud moan as a second, but less intense orgasm rocked through her body. Lavender thrust into her as far as he could as he came. Pleasure surged through his body as his hot seed buried itself deep inside her. He held his position, riding out his orgasm to the bitter end. Once it was evident that he couldn’t get any more pleasure out of this position, he slowly withdrew his penis, savoring the feeling as the inside of Celestia’s marehood rubbed against it. Both of their minds and bodies were swimming in the endorphin rush that was brought on after passionate sex such as this.

Once finished, he rolled over, coming to rest by Celestia’s side. He didn’t know what it was about this mare, but sex with her blew his mind.

“I know I said this last time, but that was amazing,” he said.

“You were amazing,” Celestia replied. “I never had a stallion go down on me before, nor have I had one suck on my nipples like that.”

“I’m glad you liked it. That was my first time doing it as well, and I said I would repay the favor for what you did for me for my birthday.”

Celestia smiled, remembering the birthday present she gave to him a few months back. She extended out her hoof and pulled him in close to her.

They would have shared a cigarette like their first time but since Celestia was pregnant, she couldn’t really have one. So, Lavender just decided against it. Instead, they just spent this time cuddling together. Lavender rested his head on Celestia’s chest, listening to her heartbeat, which was now returning to its normal rate.

“So, how does it feel to be Mrs. Lavender Bloom?” he repositioned his head so he could look directly at her face.

“Hey, that’s Princess Celestia to you,” she playfully shot back.

“Oh, well then my princess, what is thy command?”

“I command you…,” she played along. “To tell me the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you.”

Lavender blushed as he remembered a particularly embarrassing moment of his life.

“My mom caught me jacking off one time,” he admitted.

“Oh…do tell.”

“It was back when I was a young colt; puberty hit me hard,” he recalled. “A friend of mine at school gave me a dirty magazine to use for…you know. So, when school let out, I ran straight home, went up to my room, pulled out that magazine, and just started going at it. In my hurry, I forgot to lock my bedroom door.”

“Oh no,” Celestia brought a hoof up to her mouth in horror.

“Of course, my mom walks in and I just freeze. There was no way I was talking my way out of this since I was sitting there with an erect cock in my hoof,” he continued. “Luckily, she didn’t stand there and make it awkward. She turned around and left. After that, I put the magazine away and just sat there in a daze. You could guess later that evening she sat me down and gave me the ‘birds and the bees’ talk. She assured me that it was perfectly natural, and that she even used to do it when she was a filly my age.”

He paused for a moment to chuckle at that whole situation.

“So, if I wanted to do it any time after that, I did it at night when everyone was asleep, and I made absolutely sure to lock my door.”

“Wow. I guess everyone gets caught at some point,” she chuckled. “Well, I think I’m going to hop in the shower,” she said, casting a look over at her bathroom door. “You’re more than welcome to join me.”

She gently pulled herself from the bed and trotted over to the bathroom. Lavender instinctively followed her. A nice hot shower was the perfect way to cap off this already perfect day. This time during their shower Celestia used her magic to bathe both herself and Lavender. It was relaxing to Lavender having the hot water trickle down his body and the shower brush levitated by Celestia’s magic working its way around every crevice of his body. She seemed to linger the brush a little longer than necessary around his private area while flashing him a playful grin. He didn’t mind one bit and loved it when she did little playful things like that.

They finished their lengthy shower after it seemed like they used up all the hot water in the castle. Celestia levitated two large bath towels, one for herself and one for Lavender to dry off with. As she was drying off her wet coat and mane, the same thought she was thinking about during the wedding reception crept back into her mind. Any time she let her mind sit idle, thoughts and feelings such as this found their way back in.

“You feeling alright?” Lavender broke her train of thought as he spied her staring off at nothing.

She snapped back to reality at the sound of his voice. Two answers went through her head; either she can say it was nothing and go on with her life, or she could admit what was actually on her mind. This was her burden and she didn’t want him to worry about it. On the other hoof, she wanted to be completely truthful with him. They were married after all, and keeping secrets from each other was not a healthy way to continue this relationship.

“I was thinking about something that I was reminded of earlier…my immortality,” she spoke in a somber tone. That word felt foreign to her when she said it aloud. “I know you will eventually grow old and pass away while I keep on living. I…I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want you to concern yourself with it.”

Lavender wasn’t expecting anything like this after the wedding, the passionate honeymoon sex, and this relaxing shower. He could tell that this really bothered Celestia, and he hated seeing her like this.

“I know,” he finally spoke. “I’ve known ever since things started getting serious between us. I will eventually die, but I try not to worry about it. The thought of it scares me. That’s why I focus on the present and make the most out of every moment,” he took a step towards her and locked his eyes with hers. “Celestia, know this. When I’m gone, I will always be with you…right here,” he placed a hoof on her chest right over her heart.

Smiling, she nuzzled his cheek as she felt a single tear escape her eye. She was thankful for the day she met him and that she chose to take the risk of becoming close with him. Stallions like him were one in a million.

Once they both finished drying off, they crawled back into Celestia’s cozy bed together. As they snuggled up for the night, Celestia held him extra close. She loved this stallion with all of her heart and wanted to savor every moment she had with him. It wasn’t long after that, the two drifted off into a deep, restful sleep.
