Chapter 10: Some Morning Fun

The tired sounds of the bat pony captain's hooves could be heard as he walk down the long corridor. The path he took felt long, longer than it should have. Perhaps it was just because Night Blade made it a point to drop the large and heavy folder in his office. He would have to find Mani later as it was too late to worry about that now. No doubt the pony was asleep in his bed, which is exactly where Blade wanted to be right now. well, not exactly Mani's bed, though the captain would never admit it he did have one or two thoughts about his 3rd in command.

Through out the castle Day Guard and Royal Guard patrolled the hallways. A handful saluted him as he walked by, but the majority just went about their day oblivious to the higher ranking Gaurd. Despite his sleeplessness, he still felt irked by the lack of respect paid by his fellow Guard as they walked by. It had taken years to get where he was, and required no shortage of ass kissing to make his higher-ups ignore his sexual indiscretions and choice of mates. The higher you went in the Guards and the greater your rank, the more model of a Guard you were expected to be. Which often meant acting like a noble, and following the core value of the Guards.

In particular, one of the core values of the Guards was harmony, specifically harmony with in your family. That meant having a family, and honoring them. It was unfortunate to say that this was not the case for the Captain. While it was true he did have a small family, they were less than happy with most of the choices he had made. Aside from joining the Guards of course.

At the end of the long walk, Blade made it to his room. The door to Blade's room clicked open and the stallion pushed the heavy wooden frame open. Under the blue and purple covers of his bed laid a sleeping and peaceful orange bat pony. Given the light snores it would be reasonable to assume he was asleep. Blade slowly made his way towards his bed, not even bothering to remove his armor. The sound of his armor clanking against itself filled the room, barley stirring the sleeping occupant. Once at the foot of his bed, he fell forward on to the soft covers. The shaking bed and noise finally awoke the other occupant.

"You look tired love." Autumn yawned as he spoke next to him.

"Mmmm." Was the only response Blade could muster.

A small hoof crept up to Blade's shoulder and began rubbing him in just the right spot. "Long night?" Autumn asked.

Turning his head, a small smile replaced the frown Blade had worn when he came in. "Yeah. Finally caught that bucking thief."

"Oh! That's wonderful news." Autumn came in close to Blade's lips for a kiss. "We should celebrate!” the orange pony spoke with a particularly lewd smile and Autumn's hoof crept lower, undoing a few straps from Night Blade's armor as he move ever downward. A moan of agreement came from Blade as he felt Autumn rubbing down the side of his chest. He wasn't about to ask Autumn to stop or even slow down his quick pace. The truth was he needed a bit of release after the past few nights. Another moan escaped him as his body rolled around, laying him on his back and giving Autumn easier access to his armor and ultimately, himself.

Slowly, the heavy armor fell from his sides, as Autumn’s hoof continued to drift steadily downward to Blade's warm and still slightly soft package. Reaching his prize, Autumn rubbed the soft spongy frog of his hoof over the peaking pony cock that started to slide out of it's sheath. Lovingly, Autumn played with Blade’s cock as it very quickly grew hard. The fast growing and now throbbing erection showing how desperately Blade needed some sexual release.

"Oh my, somepony is eager this morning." Autumn’s muzzle drifted down to the now hardened fleshy member. His lips touched the tip of Blade's cock as he gave a small kiss to it's tip. The stallion jumped in need at the sensation, and Autumn knew he shouldn't tease his lover this morning. Well, too much anyway. The tip of Autumn's tongue licked across the head of Blade's cock, tasting the tender flesh, and eliciting a tiny moan of enjoyment from Blade once more.

"Oh Autumn, you have no idea how MUCH!" Blade yelped as Autumn bit ever so gently at his tip. Just enough to cause a surge of pleasure with the slight shock pain. Looking up, Blade saw the orange pony smiled as his muzzle began to engulf the very tip of Blade's cock. That lewd feeling of Autumn hot and wet mouth caused his head to roll back and hit the pillow.

"Mmmm..." Autumn moaned taking in the taste and sent of Blade's sweaty and sweet cock skin. Blade began to drool just a bit from the sensation of the orange pony sucking on him. Autumn swirled his tongue around the member, taking in the tastes of Blade's neglected stalionhood, and savoring the trickle of pre that started to leak from the tip.

Licking and sucking was fine, but Autumn wanted more and he began to quickly bob his head up and down Blade's shaft. Each movement down brought just a bit more of his cock into his throat. Deeper and deeper, till Autumn's muzzle began to tickle Blade's heavy balls. The feeling of having his mouth full of pony cock sent shivers down Autumn's spine and his tail unconsciously moved to the side exposing his stallion plot, and his own set of orange furry love orbs.

"Oh buck..." Blade moaned as he felt Autumn take his entire length down his throat again. The pony's throat relaxed and contacted around him as Autumn swallowed the tick member. Sensing a need to breath, he reluctantly pulled off the shaft just far enough to take a few short breaths before bottoming out again.

Autumn's hips gyrated over the smooth covers in tune with his mouth and he felt himself start to grow with his own need. Reaching a hoof down, Autumn began to slowly stroke his own growing stalionhood as he continued to suck on Blade's.

The back of Autumn's throat grew tighter as Blade's top began to flair. Reluctantly, Autumn took his lips off of Blade's member. He stared at the pulsing cock as it relaxed just slightly.

"My, you really are pent up." Autumn hummed to Blade and his throbbing blade.

"Autumn... you have no idea." His voice was shaky and almost pleading for release.

Sticking his tongue out, Autumn licked the length of the pulsating shaft from bottom to top. A wicked smile crossed his lips. "Well, if you're this pent up... I know something we can do."

Curious Blade watched Autumn stand up, exposing his large orange cock to him, which was just starting to leak it's own clear juices. The orange pony took a moment to play with his hair, knowing his lover enjoyed staring at his body and cock as he did so. Sensing his deep need Autumn stopped teasing Night Blade and stood over top of him, positioning his cock just over Blades. Quickly he lowered him self down so their two cocks were rubbing against each other.

As soon as he felt flesh on flesh, Autumn began to thrust his dick over Blade's causing him to moan out loud again. The sensation of their two cocks rubbing was both soft and delicate. The teasing pleasure ran down Blades cock, and caused his balls to contract just a bit further as another drop of pre leaked out on his chest. Autumn reached his hoof down and rubbed the soft skin over the tip of Blade's sensitive member picking up the pre on his hoof.

"You always. Liked this position. But always had. a hard time. cumming from it." Autumn panted and brought his hoof to his mouth, licking the love juice off of it.

Blade's breathing became quicker at the sight of his lover eating his pre cum like it was cake batter. "Oh Fuck. Autumn, I don't think I can hold out." Blade's cock throbbed as his head flared, he was just about there.

Looking up, Autumn stuck his tongue out and lapped at Blade's mouth, drooling over him. The Smirk on Autumn's face and the sensation of his tongue, sent Blade over the edge as his cock began to throb releasing a torrent of cum all over his chest. Blade's cock pulsed, and his hips trusted as he shot rope after sticky rope over himself.

"Buck..."

After a few more spurts, his cock's pulsing slowed and his cum stopped flowing. His stalionhood quickly softened before resting on top of Blade's abdomen, in a pool of its own cream.

Sticking his tongue out again, Autumn began to lap up some of Blade’s love batter off his chin as he continued to rub his hips and cock over Blade's now soften but still exposed dick. The taste of Blade Juice was almost enough to push him over.

Sensing his partners frustration Blade reached a hoof up and began to stroke the orange member, pushing his lover over his own edge. "Oh Blade, I'm almost... Unnnn." Autumn cried out as his dick began to pulse, and send its own spurts over Blade’s foreleg, chest and a single strand landed over his mouth, which he licked off with a greedy smile.

Autumn, laughed a bit at the tingling sensation that washed over him, before falling onto Blade's chest. The orange pony took a few moments and tried to catch his breath. There was no sound but the panting of the two colts as they basked in each others love.

Autumn’s eyes caught sight of his own love glaze on Blade's hoof. Without bothering to ask, he picked up the cum covered hoof and slowly began licking his own love batter off it. The sight and sensation caused Blade's hips to thrust a few times unconsciously, his cock threatening to grow hard once more.

"Mmmm, I think we taste good together, love. Want to try some?" Autumn didn't wait for a response as he came in close to Blade's muzzle and kissed him deeply. The tangy musky taste of the two's sex rubbed against his mouth tongue. His softening cock twitched again.

Finally, Autumn laid his head back on Night Blade's still sticky chest and the two lovers sighed in contentment.

"You still tired love?" Autumn asked.

"Not as much as I was. Why, what did you have in mind?"

"Fancy a drink or two? After a shower of course." Autumn chuckled.

Not waiting for an answer Autumn got up, encouraging Blade to join him. His hips swayed slightly as he gave a sultry walk toward a small door opposite the bed, his soften cock swing beneath him as he walked. Inside was a shower stall, just big enough for the two. This was at least one thing Blade's room had over Jacks. Of course Jack was that last thing on Blade's mind as he watched Autumn's velvety wings twitch and shutter as he entered the shower. "Coming?" Autumn asked Blade before disappearing full behind the shower door.

Without waiting a moment more, Blade jumped out of bed and trotted to the shower. Joining his lover under the running water for a bit more fun. The shower wasn't exactly big, but it was just right to fit the two bat ponies. All around the some what fancy tile work, were bottle scattered about. A few were different types of soap, one used for the thick bat pony mane,another for the thinner bat pony coat, and one for the thinnest velvety fur along their wings. In addition, there were bottles of conditioner and oils used almost exclusively by Blade's lover.

Picking up a particular bottle of shampoo, Blade rubbed his hoof through Autumn's silken fur, lathering up a foamy sea with the tiny amount of soap he used. The orange pony's fur was always well taken care of, with conditioners and oils bought from Blade's own purse. Thought Blade didn't mind expense. Quite the opposite in fact, he enjoyed his partners fur and velvety wings. Both beneath his hooves and on other things he might rub against them.

"Hmmm, I think I'm clean love. Time for yours." Autumn turned Blade around and quickly went for his back. A spot he knew his lover to be weakest at. Reaching for a bottle of his own oil the orange pony genitally applied it to the spot right between the Night Guard's wings.

"Oh goddess yes..." Blade moaned as Autumn's hoof rubbed into his sore androgynous zone. A shiver ran down his spine at the sensation. While Autumn's massages weren't quite as good as sex, they were damn close.

Autumn returned his hoof to Blade's shoulder and slowly rubbed some soap into the sore muscle mass. "Oh, that feels amazing." Blade moaned again as The pony behind him continued to work his hoofs around his neck and back.

The feeling of Blade's muscles contracting under hoof, gave Autumn pause. There was more there than just physical tention, he could tell there was something wrong, but what? "It seems like there's something bothering you. Want to talk about it?"

A small sigh escaped Blade's mouth and he shut his eyes tight. Trying desperately to force out the feelings and thought he had. Normally, Blade was a very closed and composed pony. Even in front of his mate he never seemed to fully let his guard down. Thought there were the rare moments, such as this one.

"There are times when I wonder why I'm still here." He mused absently.

Autumn slowed his massage slightly, "W-what? Where's this coming from?" His voice showed concern, uncertain what Blade actually meant.

"Heh. I didn't mean like that Autumn." He laughed and tried to defuse unintended tension he just created. "I'm Just thinking about the Guards is all. Every night I get up, and head to royal chambers, and every morning I come back here. I work hard, and never seem to really get any further." He took a long pause as he felt Autumn's hoof rubbing at his flanks. A few dirty thoughts crossed his mind as he thought about other areas he could be rubbing.

"It's getting old and It's not like my family respects me any more then they did when I told them..." Blade winced. He didn't mean to bring up that last point.

"...about me you mean." Autumn slowed his massage as he finished Blade's sentence for him

Blade took a deep breath, not meaning to bring up old wounds. "I'm sorry Autumn, you know I didn't mean it like that... It's just, I got another letter from them yesterday and you know how they are. How disappointed in me they were. All because they can't have a fucking grand-foal to carry on the family line. Ha. To hell with our crappy lineage." Blade's head fell as he thought about his noble family lineage and the fact was the last of his line. His parents, grandparents, and even his sterile uncle all depended on him to keep the family going. So much weight on his shoulders and he had tried to shrug it off, all to be with the pony he loved. Autumn and him had this conversation twice before and the orange pony knew how much it effect his mate. That's why it was so rarely brought up.

Slowly Autumn went back to his massage, while he thought about it. Blade wasn't happy here, and all he was doing was taking it out on everypony else.

The look on Autumn's face quickly turned from sad to one of determination. "So then lets leave! You don't have to be a guard to impress me, and to hell with your family!"

"Autumn, you know it's not that simple, I can't just leave." Blade shook his head as he spoke.

"Why not?" Autumn stomped his hooves on the ground in agitation.

Sensing that his massage was over, Night Blade turned around but couldn't quite look Autumn in the eyes. "You know what my family would do if I just up and left. This is the only thing about me, about us, that they approve of. At least in the Guards I have some hope of continuing my family's legacy. In history books if no where else."

"So what if your parents aren't happy with you, big deal." Autumn grabbed Night Blades face and turned his muzzle towards his. "I love you." Opening his mouth he placed it over Blades and slowly slipped his tongue inside.

After their kiss, the two focused theirs eyes on one another. "Isn't that enough?" Autumn whispered.

A smile crept up Blade's muzzle as he saw the golden amber eyes in front of him sparkle. Reaching around he grabbed Autumn's head and pull him back in for another kiss, "You were always enough, for me... Orange."

Autumn pushed him away with a playful shove. "I told you never to call me that." With a shake of his head, Autumn shut the shower off and head out of the bathroom.

"You know, I've been thinking about this. We could always try and find a surrogate. I mean, if your parents are that upset at not having grand-foals. That is their biggest argument about me, isn't it? That I can't give you foals?" Autumn tossed a towel to Blade who quickly began drying himself off more haphazardly than Autumn.

"A surrogate?" Blade said with some uncertainty. The idea had never come up before, and in truth he wasn't quite sure how to deal with it. "I don't know. How would that even work?"

"Well, my cousin's never going to get married. She said so herself multiple times. She kind of wants foals but doesn't really want to raise them. Plus she's kind of got the same problem as me. Being only interested in mares and all..."

Tossing his towel on the bed he stared at Autumn for a moment as he slowly dried his mane. It took a while to process what he said, tiring to find some element of humor or laughter in his words, but it was clear he wasn't joking. "So you want me to fuck your cousin. I know you're kinky, that's one of the things that I always liked about you. But that's nuts, even from you." Turning away from Autumn, Blade opened his bedroom door to leave.

"It was just an idea!" Autumn dropped his towel and ran out after Blade, mildly agitated that he couldn't completely dry himself.

Blade laughed and looked back at his colt. "You're lucky you have a cute butt Autumn, cause I don't like I could love you for just your mind." Lifting his hoof up, Blade gave Autumn's ass a quick smack.

"Hey!" Autumn yelped in mock protested to both the insult and smack.

The door to their room clicked shut as Blade and Autumn headed out towards the Midnight Well.
