A Taste Of Honey

Twilight felt mortified. But she was also struck at Celestia’s closing.

C -

Not “Your Princess” or “Princess Celestia”, but “C -”

It made Twilight very proud. It made her feel that the princess viewed her a little differently. And she had teased Twilight. About sex! It felt kind of good, as though Celestia expected her to be able to handle it. And she felt she could. She could handle the topic. She was growing up and Celestia had confidence that she would mature. So what that she had, you know, well, yes. masturbated. Yes I did! Just like the Princess herself!

Twilight’s smile immediately dropped and she turned bright red. The image of her mentor masturbating had flashed through her head and she felt awful in so many ways. She quickly reached for the medical book and opened it.

After the first half hour she took a break and stretched her neck and arms. The text had indeed been dry but informative. She reached for the third book about mares and their stories of self discovery, and began to scan through it. She stopped at a full page picture of an open vulva with all the parts identified and began to read the accompanying text which was far more casual in dealing with the subject matter. It talked about different parts, and the different slang, about sizes of things and what things do.

So once again, she looked down between her spread legs.

My vagina. Well not really my vagina, per se, it’s really my vulva or mons pubis. Or what this other book says is my pussy, cunt, slit, gash, and twat..

She giggled.

I remember calling one of my roommate’s at the academy a twat. I really got her with that one. I didn’t even know what it meant, I’d just heard some mares talking about another mare and calling her a stupid twat.

She looked back down at her crotch.

So you are my vulva. Hmmm, I think I like pussy better. We really don’t know each other too well…

Twilight picked up the mirror. On one side it was a normal mirror, On the other it magnified the image. She spread her legs a little wider apart and with her left hoof held the mirror there.

The fur of her coat went up to the outside of the pubic cleft. There was an inch or so of bare skin around the perimeter of actual slit. Using her right hoof she pulled the cleft open.

Wow, look at all that, uhhh, hmmm, what exactly is it? I know it’s function is to provide lubrication for intercourse, but I didn’t see a scientific name for it. Book 3 called it “cum” which is derived from the word ‘cumming’, a play on the word coming which is analogous to having an orgasm.. So when you ‘cum’ you’re climaxing, or having an orgasm. The lubricant is called cum. I wonder if colts have a similar fluid? I’ll have to look at the book with the 2 on it. She said it was more about overall sexuality. Wait, let me look at the index of number three. Let’s see, colts, colts...oh, there is quite a bit about them for a book about mares. Hmmm pages 128 through 169. Let’s see… Woah!! I remember being curious about Shining Armor one time, and when he was sleeping, I had a look, but it was all kind of floppy and gross. I never wanted to see that again. But that looks big and hard! It says that they insert it into our vagina’s?!! I dont THINK so! Not THIS pony’s vagina! I think I’ll just stick to Applejack.! So how do they work? It says most of the time their flaccid. So Shining has a normal one, but when they’re aroused blood flows to it and they get an ‘erection’. That’s some picture there. It’s called a cock, a hard-on, a boner, a woody. Oh, that is too funny! ‘I’m going to stick my boner in your twat!’

Twilight couldn’t stop laughing. Finally after wiping away the tears of laughter from her eyes, she read on.

Hmm, okay. I wonder if colts ever masturbate or only mares? I know Shining never does. He’s too nice for that. Woah!! It says here that almost ALL colts do it! No way!! That is just not right! They got their facts mixed up! I gotta get back to mares.

Hmm, let’s see, now… So, those are my inner lips - Labia minora.. I like them - they’re very symmetrical, very neat and tidy, not like the mare in the book. Except for all the stuff. Goop? No, that’s a gross word. I guess cum is better after all Hmmm, what’s that in there? Ohhh that’s my hymen. I guess I must be a virgin.

Twilight laughed again.

So… what does that leave…

She pulled back the top of her cleft. It pulled back the fold of skin at the top of her vulva and exposed her clitoris.

Oh… I never even looked at this nub here. That must be my - Woah!! So THAT’s what does that! Ohh, that felt good. Let’s see, let’s see, where is that picture of the vagina…? Hellooo, where are you little vagina? I thought it was closer to the middle of the book… Woah!. So that is what an excited one looks like! Look how swollen and pink her lips are! Look at the clitoris!! It’s sticking so far out. Hmm, what about compared to mine? Wow, mine certainly falls into the 'larger than average' department. It’s not even excited and it’s at least as big as the excited one in the book!

I wonder what AJ’s looks like?

I wonder how big it is...

Twilight released her grip and watched as the hood slowly moved over the top of her clitoris, covering it, though not as far as it had when she started to examine herself. She reached down and pulled from the side again.

From outside her window, Twilight suddenly heard the sound of the young fillies and colts playing and laughing in the warm summer morning. It took her out of her reverie and changed her perspective. Suddenly she felt strange about the whole experience.

I really need to get some studying done, and I still have to clean myself up. I certainly don’t want to do ‘that’ again. I mean the Princess said it was abnormal. It was okay to wake up in the middle of the night last night and do it a second time because I’d been putting it off for so long. I think her letter said it was abnormal. Where did I put the letter? Here - hmmm, I think she must mean that if normally you wake up in the middle of the night to do it, then it would be extremely abnormal. She knows that I would never do that. I mean I did it once, but that’s because my body needed to. But she did write ‘gotcha’. But that must mean that it was okay that once but if I kept doing it, or did it too much, then it would be extremely abnormal. If I did it a lot for example.

I wonder how much is a lot?

She doesn’t write it here. Let me look through the books…

Oh this is pointless!! There is nothing in any of these about what is too much! How am I supposed to know if I’m extremely abnormal? I can-NOT ask the princess! She may have written about it in the letter, but I could never talk to her about it. It’s going to be uncomfortable enough seeing her now that we know that each other does it! I bet she only does it once in awhile. Oh I have to stop thinking about her doing it - it’s, really weirding me out! But she knows I do it! She’ll see it in my eyes! I know - I won’t do it! And I’ll tell her I don’t do it and we won’t be uncomfortable about it!

AUUGGGH! Who am I kidding? “Hello your highness, it’s so good to see you again! I’ve really missed you. How is your sister? Oh, by the way, I only did it that once and I haven’t done it since then!”

Oh that sounds just great…

And then there is the other problem…

(...I really want to do it!!)

Oh I’m extremely abnormal!!! I KNEW IT! The moment I imagined I saw AJ looking up at me from between my legs with her face all covered with my ‘cum’ and I wanted to kiss her, I knew I was abnormal. How could I possibly be normal? My new best friend is a mare and not only do I think I’m in love with her, but I fantasized about doing it with her!

I wonder if she’ll be able to tell the next time she see’s me? She’ll probably just look at me and then slap my face. What else could she do? I’m perverted and in my mind I made her do awful things to me! She is going to hate me!!

Twilight felt the tears that were brimming her eyes, spill down her cheeks. She put her head between her forelegs and cried. It only took a minute, a sniff and a look to remember that she was still a mess.

I need to get up and take a bath. That always relaxes me… Maybe I should just slit my hooves while I’m in there!

Twilight turned the faucet and felt under the tap with her hoof for the temperature. The sound of the water splashing into the tub was comforting and she began to feel better. Her mind drifted off to different things, nothing in particular, and she smiled.

Finally the tub was ready. This was her favorite part - lowering herself into the nice hot water. It felt so good and she felt her skin get goosebumps at the pleasure. She lay back, closed her eyes and sighed.

Just what I needed. Oh this is so nice, lying here and getting nice and clean, all that ‘stuff’ just floating off me and then going down the drain. Nice clean fur and a nice clean coat…”

She reached under the water and felt her tummy.

It was slippery and slimy. The ‘stuff’ didn’t just “float off”.

Ohhh! What is this?! Oh and the inside of my thighs is still all slimy! Where is the soap. Ah, here it is - Okay, tummy first. Oh that tickles! Hmmm okay, now it feels nice and clean. Now down there….

oh….

Oh….

That is amazing! But I’m not really doing anything, - I’m just uh, cleaning myself. That’s all. I need to make sure that it’s clean down there, There are a lot of lips and folds where my cum could be and the book said it’s really important to get it clean. Oh yeah, oh wow. The Princess said I should always do a thorough job. Ohhhhhh yeahhhhh, A job worth doing is worth doing riiihhhhhght!

Oh I mustn't forget to clean under the hood of my clitoris. I’m just cleaning, doing a really good, thorough job oooOOh yeah. What if one day I hurt my hoof and couldn’t clean myself?

I bet AJ would help me...

Twilight closed her eyes and imagined the firm, trim and adorable blonde earth pony walking into the living room and smiling sympathetically at the poor young unicorn, who lay helpless in the tub, her hooves both wrapped in white bandages. The poor thing looking through big sad lavender eyes...

“Dr. Stable said not to get my hooves wet for at least three weeks…”

“Oh sugarcube, I’m so sorry. I came as soon as I heard! Is there anything I can do to help you?”

“It’s so nice of you to ask, you’re such a good friend, in fact I think of you as my best friend.”

“Shucks Twi, I feel the same way. Would you like some help bathing?”

“I wouldn’t think of asking you.”

“Oh but Twilight, it’s very important that you stay clean, or you won’t heal.”

“Really? Well if you say so…”

“I do. Now let me see those back hooves. Hmmm, they look pretty clean..

“Really? Well I’m not sure, I…”

“Now how about your calves?”

“Oh, that tickles!”

“Well they’re pretty clean…”

“Are you sure AJ? I accidentally spilled some…”

“And now your thighs…”

“Well maybe, I, uh…”

“Oh Twilight, they’re so strong! Nice and firm… but I really think they need cleaning…”

“B-b-but Applejack-”

“Especially the outside, near your cutie mark.”

“B-b-but Applejack, th-that’s not the outside…”

“It’s not…? Oh my! Then it must be...”

“No! Oh you shouldn’t do that, you mustn't touch me there! So close to my…”

“But it’s - why it’s all slick and slimy! What have you been doing?! You’ve been naughty haven’t you, my bad little pony?”

“No, no I swear…”

“Don’t lie to me sugarcube. I’m the element of honesty. You need to clean down there… Oh! And OH MY! what is this? It’s so big!”

“Oh don’t don’t, you’ll make me cum!”

“Will I? If I keep caressing your sweet pussy? It feels so perfect, your lips feel so nice and symmetrical my love.”

“Your love? Oh, you’ll make me cum! Oh Applejack I love you too, yes, yes, make me cum! That’s it, clean it all! Oh yeah, oh make me cum. oh yeah, oh yeah, I’m cumming...!”

In the throes of her building orgasm, Twilight’s body arched up, her shoulders pressing against the back of the tub, till her hips cleared the water. Her hoof was a blur as it lightly stroked across the top her clitoris. As she climaxed, her vagina clenched hard and the water in it shot out of her, and splashed onto the floor beyond. She didn’t care, she didn’t even notice, she just kept at it frantically, her chin on her chest, jaw clenched shut and the sound of her orgasmic squeal, building in pitch, echoing in her muzzle. Her eyes squinted, staring at her large, stiff, engorged clitoris as she skimmed her hoof rapidly across it until it became too sensitive and she could feel her vaginal muscles start cramping. She collapsed back in the tub, exhausted, whimpering, and panting hard. Her eyes rolled back under their half opened lids.

She lay in the tub, fully spent, her heartbeat, almost deafening, pounding in her ears, her her mind clear of everything.

Except one thing. And she repeated it in a hoarse whisper, over and over…

“Applejack, Applejack, Applejack…”

“Hey Twilight! You up there?”

“APPLEJACK!!”

“eYup!” The honey blonde earth pony said as she mounted the top of the stairs and entered the room. “Takin a bath eh?”

“Ohwa -hum-eh-wa...”

“In the middle of the morning?”

“Wuh, eh, uh…”

The tip of Applejack’s muzzle twitched and she raised an eyebrow.

“What’s that smell?”

Twilight’s eyes flew open wide, her ears shot straight up, and thank Celestia, her mind snapped to attention.

“Bath soap!” she exclaimed.

“Really?” AJ scowled suspiciously.

Twilight swallowed hard. “Uh..., yes?”

AJ thought for a minute, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she smiled. “Hmmmm, not bad… I like it. Makes me feel kinda… nice.”

Twilight could not believe her ears. She swore she felt her heart thump harder for a few beats.

“really?” Twilight's expression was pitiful and sweet as was her voice.

Applejack was puzzled by her reaction.

“Well sure sugarcube,” she said sweetly “Why wouldn’t it? You didn’t think I’d like your taste in bath soap? I mean I don’t use a fancy soap when I clean out my tub - just good old elbow grease, but you use whatever you like. I think it smells real nice. Kinda musky and earthy.”

It was just that sort of sweet country innocence that had made off with Twilight’s heart without the little unicorn even realizing it. She smiled sweetly at the blonde earthy pony, who smiled back.

Maybe I’m just confusing my new physical wants with my feelings for a very dear friend. Now that she’s here in front of me, I’m not really sure I find her physically and emotionally desirable as a “mate”.

Twilight felt relief at the thought, and as if just to prove it to herself, she looked at Applejack as she squeezed her legs together under the water and shifted her hips side to side. This brought her still semi-erect clitoris into motion against the hood and the outer lips of her vulva..

Her reaction must have been written all over her face because Applejack’s eyes opened wide with a hint of fear and she took a step back from the tub.

“Twilight? A-are you okay? For a second there you looked at me like… well I don’t rightly know, but I think I just found out what it feels like to be a Golden Delicious on apple bucking day.”

Twilight was shaking her head to clear it from the intense wave of desire that had flooded every part of her body. She blinked her eyes a few times and then re-focused them.

“Twi?”

“Oh, I’m sorry AJ, I think the water was a little too hot. I guess I got light headed.”

“You sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah, I think so.” she said with a smile.

“Okay… Well anyway I came by to see if you’d like to come over to Sweet Apple Acres for dinner tonight. Spike is already there and we’re getting all ready for the Little County Fair tomorrow. It ain’t the real one, just 14 or 15 of the farms in the area get together to show their wares. Kinda like a practice run for the big ‘un. Spike’s bein’ so helpful and all and Apple Bloom invited him for dinner, so I reckoned I’d come ask you too. Whadda ya say?”

“I don’t think wild horses could keep me away!”

“Yeee-haw! I’ll tell Granny Smith to add a plate to the table! I need to get some things for dinner at the Ponyville Market, so I gotta go, but- hey, you wanna come with me?”

You have absolutely no idea...

“Yeah, sure. Just let me dry off. Actually I need to run a shower over myself first, then we can go.”

“Great, I’ll just wait for you downstairs.”

“Okay”

Twilight watched Applejack walk away from her toward the stairs. Watched the swaying hips, the firm haunches. the color of her mane as she passed by a sunny window, and her beautiful, flowing tail.

As she looked at this sight, she squeezed her legs together again and had to choke back a deep groan of desire. Applejack rounded the corner and headed down the stairs to the library. Twilight rested her chin on the side of the tub and sighed.

“I am so in love with you Applejack. I hope I can make it through dinner without making it too obvious, but the chance to have dinner with you - I can’t wait. I wish I didn’t have to go - she’s going to know - she’s going to figure it out. I can’t hide it. But I just have to get through dinner. That’s all. Talk to Granny Smith and Big Macintosh.

Twilight stood up and pulled the shower curtain around the tub, then turned on the water. It felt great as it cascaded over her face and body.

I can make it through dinner without staring at her all the time. It’s just a meal. just dinner - and I get to eat with AJ! I can’t wait!! But I have to try not to… I have to be polite. If you are invited to something, you should be gracious and accept. But what if you’re secretly in love with the pony that invites you to dinner? And their a mare, and you’re a mare?! Then what? Relax Twilight - it’s just dinner. You can do dinner without sitting there drooling. Hmmm, I could always, to be a polite and thoughtful guest, masturbate before I went over…

Do you know how pathetic and sick that sounds Twilight?! What is WRONG with you?! Oh no! I think I want to do it AGAIN! I can’t believe it! Just the idea that she’s here in the library is getting me excited. I wonder if I can do it standing…”

“Twilight?”

“WOAH! WHAT?!” Twilight yelled in a frightened voice.

“I’m sorry AJ, I didn’t know you were there - you startled me. I’m uh, I’m almost ready.”

“Sorry Twilight. I just wanted to mention that maybe you should throw some pj’s in your saddle bag and bring it with you. We might have a sleep-over…”
