Flash Bang!

Twilight Sparkle could not sleep. She really wanted to—for she certainly had a lot of important things to do tomorrow—but slumber continued to elude her. At first, it had been insignificant things that kept her awake, like Spike snoring a bit too loudly, or the pillow being too hot, or the slightly moldy smell coming from the centuries-old rock walls. It was always more difficult to sleep in a different place, even though the beds in Canterlot Castle were large and luxurious.

Then her wings kept getting in the way. She was pretty used to her alicorn wings during the day, but was still having trouble with them when blankets and quilts came into play. She could see why pegasi loved to sleep in clouds whenever possible. For the umpteenth time, she regarded the tangled mess of feathers and bedsheets with frustration, and began extricating herself. With a flare of magic from her horn, Twilight balled up her entire linen set, and flung it onto the floor in the corner. She snorted and slumped down on the bare mattress with crossed hooves.

Now she was wide awake and flustered, to boot. In the near-darkness, the princess hoped her friends were faring better in their suites. They had accompanied her to Canterlot, where she was to assist in the royal ceremonies, for the city was hosting a score of dignitary ponies from all across Equestria. She had been given the task of delivering the official welcome speech, and then announcing the names of the VIPs as they arrived at the dinner party. Twilight had rehearsed her opening remarks and practiced the tricky pronunciations a million times already, but she had nothing else to do, so she ran through them in her head one more time. It didn’t even require her full attention.

Three-quarters of the way through the welcome speech, she realized what was really bothering her. Flash Sentry. That dashing pegasus pony with the amazing blue mane, and eyes to match. He was a member of Princess Celestia’s Royal Guard, and she had bumped into him twice that day—literally collided with him on two, separate occasions. They seemed to have a history of that.

Twilight absent-mindedly started on the list of dignitaries, but was replaying her encounters with Flash from earlier in the day. Heavenly hooves, he looked so handsome in his polished, gold armor. Always standing in some glorious, god-like pose. Sometimes he simply took her breath away. Which is why her verbal interactions with the young stallion usually consisted of awkward stutters and sentence fragments. Why did she have to be like that around him?

Dammit. Now she was wide awake, and frustrated that she couldn’t sleep…and really, really horny.

She glanced over Spike’s way. The little dragon was tucked into his sleeping basket, his head sunk deep in a huge feather pillow. He was out cold. She knew from experience that she could clop to her heart’s desire without fear of discovery by her ever-present assistant. And she highly doubted that any of her friends would come by at this hour. Besides, they’d most certainly knock before entering the chambers of a princess.

Twilight retrieved a lone pillow, and placed it at her back. She closed her eyes and thought about Flash Sentry again. His tall shoulders. His toned, muscular flanks. Those beautiful, broad wings. And though she’d never seen it, she imagined that he had a spectacular pony package beneath that short-cropped blue tail. Flash, standing at attention. All of him standing at attention.

Spreading her legs wide in front of her, Twilight Sparkle let her hoof play across her chest for a while and then let it slowly drift down between her haunches. She traced her marehood delicately, and gently spread the lips apart. She could feel how hot and slick she was, and she had barely even gotten underway. With the lightest hoof touch, she rubbed her clitoris back and forth, up and down. A small gasp of pleasure escaped her lips. She licked her muzzle and swallowed.

Of course it all felt really amazing, and under normal circumstances—back in her cozy bedroom above the library in Ponyville—she would have enjoyed the experience all the way to climax. And based on the start, it would most likely have been a very satisfying ride. But tonight, here in the unfamiliar castle suite, it was missing something, somehow. Then with a spark of insight, Twilight was suddenly filled with excitement and fear, because she realized that what was missing was Flash Sentry. In the flesh. Tonight, she needed more than erotic thoughts about him, more than arousing mental images. What she needed—rather desperately, really—was a good, hard bucking from her young stallion.

Before she could talk herself out of it, she quickly crossed the stone floor and slipped out the bedroom door.

Thankfully, and by a stroke of pure luck, Twilight Sparkle knew where to find Flash Sentry. Earlier in the day—after running in to him for the second time in an hour—they had managed to strike up a bit of a conversation. Had it been about music? Or astronomy? Sports? She couldn’t remember. Anyway, after a few minutes, another one of the palace guards came up to him and asked if he’d trade shifts for the week. Flash had agreed to take the library night shift.

She walked down several dark, quiet hallways that were as familiar to her as the back of her own hoof. Twilight was fairly certain that she could have found her way even if it were pitch black. She passed pedestaled statues and illuminated paintings whose dusty, brass placards she could recite by heart. She felt like she knew every nook and cranny of this wing. For not only had Celestia’s star pupil spent many daylight hours in the library, she had also gone there under the cover of darkness—and quite against the rules—almost every single night.

What she sought, during those nighttime excursions, was knowledge. Of course that’s why she was there during the day, too, but the kind of information that the young filly was after wasn’t part of her coursework. Not even close. She wanted to learn about love. And romance. And courtship.

And sex.

She would sneak into the mature sections and read everything she could get her little hooves on. In order to minimize the risk of getting caught, she would take the books into an alcove way in the back, and turn her horn on to its lowest setting. By the dim, wobbly light, she would devour romance novels and courtship guides. A few weeks in, she had the brilliant idea of bringing a large blanket. She had tried to find a thick, black one—like a quilt—but she ended up making due with a dark brown sheet. Regardless, it did its job as a light-cloaking tent admirably. From underneath that sheet, Twilight read poetry and love sonnets until the wee hours of the morning. Sometimes, she barely made it back to her room before the sun was raised.

The princess now stood before the door to that very room. And although she probably had every right to be there, she felt like she was once again a little filly—one who had just recently gotten her cutie mark—who was sneaking around after dark being naughty. Well, she was being naughty. Or going to be naughty.

Very, very naughty, if she was lucky.

She hoped she still remembered the guards’ schedules. The castle bells had just rung twice, so that meant—if nothing had changed—that Flash Sentry would be coming down the hallway in about ten minutes. She ducked inside and headed straight for her favorite alcove, way in the back. Everything was just as she remembered it. A heavy, wooden table stood firmly in the center of the alcove, and it was laden with books and dripping with scrolls. Unruly stacks of portfolios vied for space, while loose sheaves of paper wandered unchecked. The whole place smelled like new life and old knowledge, and to Twilight, it was home. She lit a few firefly lamps and their warm glow filled the alcove nicely. It was brighter than she had ever seen the little space, but tonight that was just fine. Tonight, she wanted to get caught.

She walked a few shelves over and lovingly ran her hoofs over the book spines. She remembered the first time she found this section. It contained all the really sexy stuff. Books of pony anatomy contained graphic illustrations of both male and female genitalia. Cheap paperbacks held countless, raunchy tales of pony-rotica. Young Twilight had perused discourses on filly fetishes, memorized sexual positions from The Llama Sutra, and spent hours looking languidly at plates of famous erotic pony art.

But her most-favorite thing had to be the volumes of rich-toned black-and-white photographic prints. They showed everything. Muscular stallions, lithe fillies, separate, together. In pairs and in groups. Loving and licking and caressing and rutting. Supple marehoods and rock-hard stallion meat. Sometimes it was hard to tell where one pony ended and another began. It was all there, and the ever-curious young filly devoured book after book with hungry eyes, a voracious mind, and a growing sexual appetite.

It’s not surprising, then, that this is also where young Twilight Sparkle discovered masturbation.

She scanned the shelves briefly, and located the tome that she was looking for—Exquisite Erotic Equines. It used to be her all-time favorite, and contained picture after picture of rutting ponies in stunning poses. She should probably try to find a copy for her personal collection in Ponyville. Twilight magicked it off the shelf, and carried it back to the alcove. She flipped it open to a random page. It didn’t matter where.

Staring once again at the photographs that she had viewed so many times in her youth, Twilight felt the familiar rush of sexual energy that accompanied them. How many times, under cover of her brown sheet, had she clopped to this very book? In this very room? Her body responded as if on auto-pilot, and she gently ground her hips against the corner of the heavy table and closed her eyes in enjoyment. But she quickly stopped herself; there would be no clopping this time around.

All that was left was to lure her stallion into the trap. She went back to the door to the hallway and opened it about three inches. Just enough so that any guard pony who walked by should see it and the faint light coming from within. That should be enough to make them investigate further. She peered down the shadowy corridor and spied a slowly moving figure—heading her way.

It should be Flash.

She hurried back to her alcove and sat down in front of her book. The library was eerily quiet, although the rapid sound her heartbeat filled her ears as it pounded in her chest.

Oh please, oh please be Flash.

Seconds passed.

And more.

And still more.

She was just about to get up go check on things, when she heard faint hoofsteps. They seemed to stop just outside.

The door gave a faint creaking sound, which was followed by a tentative voice. “Is there somepony in here? The library is closed now.” It sounded like Flash. That was good.

She listened intently as the door was opened further, and steps approached.

Oh please, oh puh-leeez be Flash.

For one, paralyzing instant, Twilight was convinced that it wasn’t going to be him. That it was somepony else. That failure was imminent. Unavoidable. She wondered which would be worse: a guard catching the princess in the middle of the night looking at sex books, or not getting to get it on with Flash.

Words preceded the guard’s appearance. “Um, you shouldn’t be…” announced a stern voice, as a pony rounded the corner into the alcove. He stopped mid-sentence and froze where he was, one hoof half-way in the air.

Twilight looked up from her book at a carefully calculated pace and scanned the pony before her. Shiny gold armor—as expected. Orange coat, blue mane. Blue eyes! Good!!

“Twi…?” said Flash with a look of disbelief on his face. “What are you…?”

“Hi, Flash.” Twilight cooed. Her heart did a little happy dance, and her voice almost cracked, but she was concentrating on remaining cool. “Oh, I couldn’t sleep,” she said through a fake yawn, “so I came here to read.” She slid the book toward the still-bewildered looking stallion. He hadn’t moved a muscle. His eyes fell upon the explicit picture of rutting ponies and widened in shock. Then they looked back and forth between the book and the princess several times in rapid succession. Twilight couldn’t help but smile as she imagined what must be going on inside that handsome head of his.

She got up deliberately from her place at the table, and sauntered over to the big stallion. “Am I in trouble?” she inquired with a sultry pout. Flash opened his mouth to reply, but nothing came out.

He swallowed with some difficultly. “Um,” he managed, finally.

Twilight giggled and leaned in (and up a bit) so that her muzzle was right next to Flash’s. She reached up with both hooves and lifted the helmet off his head, being careful not to pull his thick, blue mane in the process. It slid though the crest slot easily. She set the galea down on the table and went back over to her waiting stallion. He shifted nervously.

With enticing flicks of her tail, Twilight circled Flash once around, rubbing her sides on his sides, her flanks against his. Caressing his body with her body. He smelled great. Clean with just a hint of sweat, plus some kind of sweet aroma. He probably used one of those body sprays that came in a black can—EquuiMax or Wyld Stallyn or Pony Up. She nuzzled his tail for good measure.

Having made it back around to his front, she looked deep into his eyes. They sparkled and shimmered in the light of the fireflies. They were looking a little less surprised, now, and the stallion had a dopey grin on his face, too. Twilight was pleased with herself—the seduction seemed to be going very well. Which was good, because the ache between her haunches was becoming almost unbearable.

“Do you like me, Flash?” She batted her eyes a little.

Flash stared. Then he nodded a couple of times. His eyes remained fixed on hers.

“Good. Let’s get you out of this armor,” nodded Twilight. “It might be a bit…noisy.” She once again circled her stallion, and when she reached his rear, she wrapped her arms around the stallion’s torso and hugged him close. Then she began to unfasten the strap at his stomach that held his body armor in place. It slid to the floor with a clatter.

Having properly unwrapped her pony present, she mounted him (inasmuch as a filly can mount a stallion), grinding her hips to press herself into his rump. Flash flinched at the unexpected move, but braced himself to support the added weight. Twilight closed her eyes and savored the wonderful friction of her marehood rubbing against his tail. She nuzzled his flanks and nibbled gingerly at his cutie mark—a shield and a lightning bolt. He could be her shield later. Right now, she needed his lightning bolt.

Since her hooves were already wrapped underneath him, Twilight decided to feel out exactly what he had between his legs. She reached back and found his shaft. It was already partially erect. She squeezed it tenderly and located his balls. They were a hoofful, but she kneaded them gently. Having grabbed his dick somewhere in the middle, she decided to gauge its size. Starting at the base, she slowly slid her hoof up the thick shaft which was now rock hard. She kept expecting to come to the tip. It kept on not ending.

She released his pony package and peered underneath him. His penis was big. Really big. At least twelve inches big. “Wow,” blurted Twilight, “that’s huge!” She realized that that had come out in a very unsexy way. She couldn’t help but laugh and Flash looked back at her. He grinned at her and shrugged in a ‘That’s what you get’ kind of way. Well, she had wanted a good bucking. It certainly appeared that she was going to get one.

Twilight stood upright and tried to regain her composure. She cleared her throat emphatically. Flash went silent and seemed to be waiting for her to make the next move. She made one. Without hesitating, she went over to the large, wooden table, and leaned up against it in a basic mountable pose. She spread her legs apart somewhat, and looked back at her young stallion. Finally, to remove all doubt as to her intentions, she dramatically lifted her tail. She even used a magic flourish and hold it up, out of the way.

Flash approached, his gaze glued to her haunches, a fire in his eyes the likes of which Twilight had never seen.

“Start with your muzzle,” instructed the princess. She wanted him to have to wait—just a few more minutes—although she could hardly stand it herself.

The stallion did as he was told, and started nuzzling her tail. His hooves stroked her flanks tenderly. With her back legs firmly on the floor, Twilight folded her front legs on the table, put her head down, and sighed deeply. She felt Flash start to lick her inner thighs. When it found her marehood, an audible gasp escaped her lips. Flash certainly knew how to make a girl pony feel good. His skillful tongue probed her deeply and diddled her clit. In a show of appreciation, Twilight would occasionally give the side of his face a playful thwack of her tail.

After a few minutes, Flash paused. “I better mount you soon. If you whip me with your tail a few more times, I’m going to blow my load all over the floor,” he beamed. “I sort of have a thing for tails.”

“Oh do you?” replied Twilight, as she filed that little nugget away. She’d certainly put it to good use later.

He nodded. “And yours is beautiful. Amazing, really.” Twilight liked hearing him say nice things about her. After all, he hadn’t actually said much so far. She wanted to hear more.

“Go on…” she encouraged.

Flash thought briefly. “Well, most mares have pretty plain-looking tails, and they’re only one or two colors at best. Yours is a tri-tone. And that hot pink stripe is, well, hot.” He leaned in carefully and buried his nose deep into Twilight’s tail. She allowed him to stay there for a minute, and she didn’t mind the fact that he was taking long sniffs, either. Let the boy have his kicks.

Flash withdrew his nose, and sputtered in satisfaction. “Oh, stamping steed, that’s the stuff.” He took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. “Whew!”

Twilight couldn’t help but giggle. She was glad that he was having fun, too.

Flash sidled up, and slowly positioned himself above her. He wrapped his hooves around her body and hugged her tight. He nuzzled her mane and nibbled at her ears. “Are you ready?” he whispered.

She nodded briskly. She’d been ready since he walked into the room. Using the edge of the study table, Twilight braced herself, and spread her legs as wide as she could. She felt Flash shift around as he readied himself, and then leaned forward. He entered her quickly and slickly. Twilight gaped and forgot how to breathe. Flash slid in and out a few times, and she moaned with pleasure. This was seeew much better than clopping!

“Oh, Flash. You’re so big. I feel like I’m going to burst.” She had just finished reading a book expounding the virtues of erotic pillow talk, and she had been dying to try it out a little. Besides, it wasn’t like she was making anything up.

Her big stallion stopped moving. “Uh, it’s only about halfway in,” he explained.

Twilight whirled her head around and looked wide-eyed at her backside. Obviously, she couldn’t see the actual penetration taking place, but she could see that Flash wasn’t in all the way. He looked at her a little sheepishly. “I thought I’d start off slow. Careful. I…I didn’t know if you were a…” he stopped there, letting the word ‘virgin’ go unspoken.

Twilight reflexively glared at him.

“I mean, I guess I should have known that you weren’t, what with how easily you seduced me, and now with the dirty talk, but…” he trailed off again.

“It’s okay, Flash. Really. I’m fine.” She smiled to show him that she wasn’t mad. “And thanks,” she added. He sure was adorable when he got all flustered and nervous. “Now keep going. And don’t hold back this time.”

Flash gave a goofy little salute and repositioned himself. Twilight snorted a laugh and prepared herself for the second barrage. Almost immediately, she was glad she had chosen such a sturdy, wooden table, because her stallion pushed in and in and in again, and she wasn’t sure that she could have stayed upright on her hooves alone. Each thrust brought a little bit of pain, and then a whole lot of pleasure. Discomfort replaced by pure ecstasy. She temporarily lost control of her neck muscles, and was glad to have a place to lay her head. She forcefully sucked in air and blew out quick breaths from between pursed, dry lips. She licked them and swallowed. It had been a very long time since she had felt this good. Maybe forever.

Flash was making his enjoyment known, too, as hearty grunts and snorts accompanied his long, slippery thrusts. His weighty testicles punctuated each bucking motion by slapping against her inner thighs and haunches. It was an interesting sensation. Not unpleasant, mind you, just a bit weird. You certainly didn’t get that with clopping.

Her head was spinning wildly, and she took a few seconds to look around her. She needed to focus on something that wasn’t moving. Books. Books and scrolls, all around her. Her oldest friends. It was okay—fitting, maybe even—that they would bear witness to this. Besides, they probably wouldn’t say much. The talking tomes weren’t even kept in this wing of the library.

In a somewhat more grounded state, Twilight concentrated on her breathing and the movement. She couldn’t believe how amazing her entire body felt. From the ends of her ears, to all four of her hooftips, to the farthest feather on her wings, she felt tingly. Excited. Alive. She had given up on trying to remain quiet, and she matched Flash’s deep vocalizations with sharp cries of her own.

Before long, she felt the familiar build-up in her loins, and arched her back as the electric waves zig-zagged throughout her body. Flash must have felt her contractions begin, because he reached down and helped support her. She was impressed with what an attentive lover her stallion was. Her orgasm was waning, but it was still providing delicious waves of pleasure, and Twilight relished every one. Flash had slowed his thrusting while she came, but now he returned to his faster pace.

Twilight wasn’t expecting to cum a second time. Or a third. It was her first experience with multiple orgasms. Both times, she expected the stallion to finish, but he just kept at it. Bucking her hard. Deep and slow. Soft. Shallow and fast. Whatever he did, it was exactly right, and just as one set of contractions was fading, another climax came roaring in. After her fourth time, she was completely exhausted.

She glanced back wearily at her pony partner, and wondered what the source of his stamina was. Flash’s wings were spread wide, and he was using them for balance and support during his relentless thrusting. He certainly cut a majestic figure. His eyes were closed, and his nostrils were flared. A strange, almost pained look was on his face. He opened his eyes and saw that Twilight was looking at him over her shoulder.

“I’m almost…” he blurted.

Another long thrust.

“I’m g-gonna…” he stammered.

No thrust—he had paused. “Should I…?” he asked, glancing down at their union.

“You can keep it in. I’ve got it handled.” Twilight had learned many useful things from Zecora, and there were several, good ways to prevent pony pregnancy. She was pretty confident that she had all her bases covered.

Flash nodded and continued bucking. She could feel him tense up and get a firmer grip on her hips. And suddenly she was filled with a glow, a spurting fullness, as he filled her with his warm, pony seed. Over and over he squeezed and shot his load deep into her loins. After a surprisingly long time, he collapsed against her back. She could feel his heartbeat—both through his chest and from his prick, as it was still inside her. Twilight let him rest for a few minutes; she was glad for the respite, too.

Flash stirred and nuzzled her ear. “You were wonderful,” he murmured softly.

“Thanks. So were you.” She gazed into his eyes and tried to convey that she meant it sincerely. With all her heart.

The young stallion kissed her tenderly, and she returned his embrace. Outside the library, the castle bells pealed once, marking the half-hour. She waited until the chime faded, and broke her lips away from his.

“We should go,” sighed Twilight. She really didn’t want to.

“Yeah,” admitted Flash, “though I could really use a towel right now.” He ruffled his hoof through his sweat-laden mane, and made a face.

Twilight went over to a small cabinet. It had several, unmarked drawers at the bottom, and she opened one. It was still there. She threw the dark brown sheet over Flash’s head, just as he gave her a look of surprise.

He dried off his mane, tail, and nether regions as best he could, and started donning his armor.

“How’d you know that was in there?” he asked incredulously as he threaded his mane into his helmet.

The princess quickly made use of the sheet, too.

“I just had a hunch.” she answered, along with a small shrug. Like it was no big deal. Like he should drop the subject, if he was savvy. She tidied up a few piles of parchment, and extinguished the lamps. On the way out, she carefully re-shelved her erotic photo book.

“Shall I accompany you back to your room, Princess?” boomed the stallion, overplaying the official role for comedic effect. He smiled cheesily as he closed the door to the library.

“You may indeed,” replied Twilight in a thick, royal twang.

They made the trip back to her chamber in silence. But it wasn’t an awkward silence. Rather, it was very pleasant, and Twilight jostled him playfully along the way. The brief journey was over quickly, and it passed without incident, and they even remembered to drop the damp sheet in the laundry chute.

At the door to her bedroom, Twilight looked at her stallion and kissed him quickly.

“I’d invite you in, but Spike’s there…”

“And I should get back to guard duty,” finished Flash, nodding his head reluctantly.

Twilight opened the door to go inside, and then turned. “You know, this dignitary thing that I’m here for does last another three days…”

Flash blinked a couple of times. And then he got it.

“So…” he ventured, “same place, same time tomorrow night?” he said as a big smile spread across his face.

In reply, Twilight smiled coyly, and flashed her horn. Blip! A light purple flower appeared in front of Flash’s nose. Each of its petals had a navy blue and a hot pink stripe. It floated up and tucked itself behind his ear. “Tomorrow night,” she confirmed, and closed the door silently.

The princess let her eyes get used to the darkness for a few seconds, and then carefully made her way to the bed. Loud snores were coming from Spike’s basket, and she gave it a few shallow kicks on the way past. He shifted positions and muttered something unintelligible. When the snoring resumed, it was much quieter.

Twilight gathered up her blankets and pillows, and hastily re-made her bed. She slipped under the covers, and marveled at how comfortable the bed was. So soft. So tired.

She was sound asleep almost instantly.
