Inferno

Applejack was the type of mare most stallions would kill for. Light orange fur, sandy blonde mane, a taut body and the mother of all flanks. So why in the hay was she not in a relationship? The answer was simple, she wasn’t interested in any of the stallions around. They were just not her type to be honest. She worked to hard to have a stallion crush on her and dump her after a one night stand. Applejack wanted a long term relationship, somepony to cuddle up with and that would be content with things other than sex. She would sometimes sit  in the orchard and pray that somepony would come into her life that would love and care for her all the time, no matter what she looked like. This is where Jacob came in. Another human dropped into Equestria after he nearly perished while fighting a forest fire. After he had recovered and made himself comfortable with Equestrian customs and traditions, he decided to put his already muscular body to work as a Ponyville firefighter and medic. He was really good at his job and made a decent living on his wages, yet he still could feel that something or rather someone was missing from the equation.

Applejack had eyed Jacob a few times but thought he was just another human. Though, what if he was different than the rest? She couldn’t help but imagine his body all over her own. His tight and muscular pecs brushing against her fur as they shared a tender kiss. She shook these thoughts out of her mind as she finished her work for the day and hefted the last barrel of apples to the barn. The sky churned with dark clouds on the horizon.

“Mac! Kate! Finish up your work! A storm is a brewin!” She shouted her brother and his girlfriend.

“Eeyup.” Mac and Kate echoed each other as they giggled and heaved barrels of apples over their shoulders.

That night was the worst storm Applejack had seen since she was a little filly. Lightning flashed across the sky left and right, accompanied by loud cracks and booms of thunder. She was no scaredy cat though, she could take it, though she still couldn’t help but jump at the louder cracks of thunder.

Suddenly, a loud BANG accompanied by a blinding flash made her shriek in fear as she looked out the window. Lightning had hit a tree in the East Orchard and started a blaze that the pouring rain would not be able to extinguish. Applejack’s pupils became the size of pins as she looked in horror at the now expanding inferno. She had to do something, but what?! The fire was spreading too fast, if she didn’t try and stop it, the whole farm would be reduced to ashes. If she did go, she could die in the fire.

‘Do or Die’ she thought as she ran out the front door, bucket in tow.

At the Ponyville Fire Station, Jacob Hartman sat in his custom blue uniform. It was like the uniform he wore back on Earth but had the image of an alicorn with a hose fighting a raging blaze. His blue pants were stained with mustard left over from his lunch and a small mushed piece of cooked carrot from dinner. He wasn’t that formal, what were you gonna do anyway? Sue him? He sat in a chair next to the custom water tank chariot that had been made for him. It was much bigger than the ponies due to the fact that he could tow more than the average fire pony. Jacob was responsible for showing up at the bigger blazes to fight the fires with his larger capacity water tank. He sat reading a Daring Do book while his two other comrades, a bright orange pegasus named Blaze Wind and a black unicorn named Life Guarder. It was another late Saturday night, Blaze was asleep in the bunk beds that were provided for the firefighters who did the overnight shifts while Life Guarder snored lightly in his chair in the lounge across from Jacob. Jacob’s mind was focused on his friend Pinkie Pie’s words from a few days ago.

“Jakey! You really need a marefriend! OH! You know who would make a great match for you? Applejack!” She had said excitedly.

“Uh, Pinkie, I’m not too sure about that. She’s probably got her eyes on somepony else.” Jacob had said, waving a hand.

“No Jakey! She really likes you, plus I caught her staring at you while you took your shirt off for Lyra in the middle of town! I even think I saw her drool!” Pinkie giggled.

“You’re fibbing!” Jacob laughed.

“No really! She did! But are you the type of stallion that likes romantic stuff?” Pinkie asked.

“Yeah, but I really never had a girl to share it with back on Earth.” Jacob had frowned.

Pinkie gasped quite loudly at his words.

“You’re perfect for her!” She said as she bounced in circles around him.

Ever since that day, Jacob hadn’t been able to shake Applejack from his mind. The way her emerald green eyes sparkled in the sunlight, the nice firm mounds that were her flank...

A loud shrill alarm woke all three from their comfortable state of rest and made them sit and wait for the magical dispatch to alert them to the fire or injured pony. The magic detection system was quite amazing in Jacob’s eyes. Nothing on Earth even came close to such a system, all he had to rely on was whoever called 911. As the three firefighters watched the center of the lounge table, where all dispatches appeared, a tension began building in the air.

A quick puff of purple smoke later, a scroll sat in the center of the table.

Jacob was the first to grab it as he read it over.

FIRE!

SWEET APPLE ACRES; EAST ORCHARD

ONE PONY ENGAGED IN FIGHTING FIRE ALREADY

SITUATION CRITICAL

RESPOND IMMEDIATELY!

“Mother fucker! Another lightning strike? I thought the weather pegasi would tone down the next storm?!” Jacob exclaimed in frustration as he ran to the rack where their boots, fireproof coats and pants, and helmets with bubble air spells on them were hung. Quickly putting on his gear, Jacob hooked himself up to the tanker chariot and yelled to Blaze.

“OPEN THE DOOR! I’M OUT FIRST!”

Blaze hit the button near the rack that opened the garage door and the rain and thunder came to a crescendo as the final obstacle blocking it entry from the station was removed. Jacob grabbed the two handles on the straps that secured the chariot to his body and took off, dragging the full tanker with him as he rushed down the road to Sweet Apple Acres.

The wind and rain snapped at his face and eyes as it hit the bubble spell that gave him a clear line of sight. The little red light on his chariot flashed brightly, lighting up nearby homes and businesses as his breathing became more labored with each yard of dragging the chariot. Luckily, the run wasn’t too long from the farm and Jacob was on the scene within 3 minutes. As he pulled himself and the chariot to a stop in front of the farmhouse, he looked on in horror as he witnessed the huge fire that had enveloped half of the East Orchard.

“Who was in the fire?” He yelled, seeing the occupants of the home standing and looking on in equal terror.

The human he recognized as Kate spoke first.

“It’s Applejack! She ran into the orchard and hasn’t come out yet!” She cried.

Jacob's heart sank as he thought of the mare of his desires being burnt alive before he had a chance to ask her out.

“Gah! Mac? Can you help me unravel the hoses from my cart while I get the pump going?” Jacob yelled over the roar of the wind, rain, and fire.

Mac nodded and trotted over to the rear of the chariot as Jacob unhooked himself and assisted him. Grabbing a nozzle, Jacob found the closest tree and pulled the handle back, letting a large torrent of water loose on the surrounding trees. The fires died quite fast but the flames had spread quite quickly so a large portion of the orchard was already ablaze.

There was still no sign of Applejack anywhere. Jacob began to think that she might have already been hurt severely in the cloud of dark grey acrid smoke. He heard the clatter of his comrades come up behind him and unwrap their hoses and start their pumps.

“Blaze, Guard! I’ve gotta go in! You keep the fire under control!” Jacob shouted.

“10-4 Jake! Be careful!” Blaze shouted.

Without another word, Jacob ran into the now flame-engulfed orchard.

The smoke was thicker than pea soup, Jake could barely see anything once he was in the thicket. He walked forward, the orange flicker of fire all around him. After walking for some time, he found her. She was crumpled on the ground, coughing and sputtering in desperate need for oxygen. Jake knew what he had to do. He rushed to the mare’s side and removed his helmet and placed it on her head. Applejack took a great sucking breath full of clean fresh air from within the helmet. The carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide had made her quite unaware of her surroundings, but she was breathing and still alive which was what mattered. Using a wet cloth he had in his pocket, Jake made his way back out of the orchard. As he coughed and clambered out of the trees, the house and chariots coming into view. As he clambered out of the last thicket, he ran towards his cart with Applejack still over his shoulder. He pulled out a tank of oxygen and fitted a mask around her muzzle as she coughed and sputtered still. Applejack opened her eyes for a brief moment and saw her savior over her pouring water on her ash covered form. As her world went black once more, she tried to speak but it only came out as a croak before she lost consciousness.

Applejack slowly opened her eyes and her ears as she came to. The steady beep of a heart monitor and oxygen tubes in her snout became ever more apparent to her as she looked around her. She knew she was in a hospital but could not see much as there were curtains covering her bed from the outside world. Suddenly the curtains moved and she let out a yelp which quickly turned into a coughing fit.

“Easy there missy. You’re alright. You were in pretty rough shape but you should be ok after some recovery.” The doctor told her with a pat on the shoulder.

“Wha-What happened? How long was I out?!” Applejack croaked.

“You were in a fire and inhaled a lot of smoke. You’ve been out for at least a day or two. If you want more details, ask the guy that saved your life.” The doctor said, pulling the curtains aside as to get a better view of the man snoring lightly in the chair.

Applejack stared at Jacob, the human firefighter that hung around her and her five friends. She did have to admit, he looked cute when he was sleeping.

“I’ll leave you two to it.” The doctor said as he check a few things off on the chart at the end of Applejack’s bed and left the room, shutting the door behind him.

Applejack continued to stare at the messy human who lay in the chair still fast asleep. Her eyes traveled to his chest and the tight wick shirt he wore that clung to his muscular torso. It outlined each of his muscles in detail and Applejack had to stop herself from drooling.

“Jake? Jake?!” Applejack called.

Jake woke with a start and looked around before his eyes fell on Applejack.

He suddenly leapt up and hugged her to his chest.

“Holy shit Applejack! I knew you would make it!” He said, a singular tear running down his cheek.

As he knelt beside the bed, he took her shoulders into his beefy hands and held them there.

“Jake. I don’t know what to say. I mean you saved my life. How can I ever repay you?” Applejack asked the traumatized human.

“You don’t need to. Your being alive is pay enough.” He said.

Jake suddenly felt a tug in his heart and a ton of butterflies drop into his stomach. His face went red and he continued to stare into Applejack’s brilliantly sparkling green eyes.

Applejack felt a load of metaphorical bricks drop into her stomach as she did the same to Jake’s own green eyes.

Applejack suddenly, instinctively, pulled Jake in and kissed him hungrily. Her heart soared in her chest as he met her lips with similar passion. She felt safe, invincible, untouchable, and protected from all evil and danger at this moment.

As she pulled back from the kiss, she gasped as she returned to her senses.

“I don’t know what came over me! I’m so sorry Jake!” Applejack closed her eyes, thinking her relationship with Jake had become a thing of the past.

She looked at Jake and saw no anger in his face, but rather a warm and inviting smile.

“How long have you wanted to do that?” Jake asked.

“For about two seconds. Yet-” Applejack began.

“It felt so right?” Jake finished.

“You too?” Applejack smiled.

“Yep.” Jake replied.

“Jake? Will you stay with me until I recover?” Applejack asked.

“Are you asking me on a date?” Jake smiled wryly.

Applejack let out a giggle.

“I suppose if you count being stuck in a hospital with little old me here for a few days a date, then I guess I am.” Applejack smiled.

As Applejack finished, the door to the room swung open and Pinkie Pie appeared with the world’s biggest grin on her face.

“My Pinkie Sense knew it was a match made in heaven!” She shouted triumphantly.

The pair could only laugh at her punctuality.

Growing Affections

Growing Affections

Applejack was confined to her hospital bed for a week due to the amount of fumes she had inhaled. Jake was there when he wasn’t working, spending countless hours talking and laughing with Applejack about their lives. Over the course of the week Applejack began to notice her increasing feelings of affection towards the normally stoic human. She felt more than just the average debt of gratitude towards the human who had sacrificed his own safety for her own, no, she felt a connection with him on a deeper level. She would ask him every time when he visited how she could repay him and he constantly refused, until the night she went home.

As Jake and Applejack walked side by side down the winding road from Ponyville Hospital to Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack could walk just fine but Jake asked to escort her just in case anything happened. She happily agreed, having gotten to know the human over her week confinement in that godforsaken hospital bed. She trotted at a slow pace, savoring the evening air as it ruffled her mane and fur lightly. Her stetson hat was long gone having perished in the fire. She had cried when she had heard of its demise, it being the last reminder she had of her parents. Jake had been there and held her close, her tears staining his shoulder and arm as he ran his hands up and down her back and through her mane, comforting her immensely. Applejack hardly knew him, yet she was so attached to him, he understood her, liked her, found her attractive, well, he hadn’t said that out loud quite yet.

She walked close to Jake’s side, her head brushing up against his elbow. It was things like this that dumped truckloads of butterflies into Jake’s stomach. As lame as it may seem, he never really had much experience with girls or mares in this case. So why was he so attached to her? Maybe it will become clearer in the future.

Applejack broke the silence halfway through their walk.

“So Jake, what did the doc say again?”

“Well AJ, the doc said you oughta rest for at least a few weeks until your lungs are fully healed and you should check in with me at the station when I’m bored...” Jake said with a smile.

Applejack gave him a playful sock in the arm.

“Maybe I just might there big boy. With all the attention you gave me, I’d say you had a huge throbbing crush on me.” Applejack smirked.

Jake’s face became bright crimson as he averted Applejack’s gaze.

Applejack stopped in her tracks. No bucking way he actually had a crush on her.

“Wait, do ya really have a crush on me?” Applejack asked.

Jake just nodded sheepishly.

“How long?” Applejack questioned.

“Around a week or so?” Jake smiled.

Applejack grinned from ear to ear.

“Well I’ll be damned, whoda thunk it?” She chuckled as she trotted back up to the human and dragged him along to the farm. Once they arrived, Applejack took Jake to a secluded hill in the South Orchard, far from prying eyes.

The hill overlooked a beautiful orange and pink horizon that glowed with beauty.

“Why’d you take me here AJ?” Jake asked as he plopped himself down beside a now seated Applejack.

“This is my special place. My happy place. My own personal haven from all of life’s troubles. I wanted to escape with you for a little bit and just lay with somepony special.” Applejack said.

“So you want to cuddle and watch the sunset?” Jake asked, cocking an eyebrow.

“Yeah, but when yer here, it’s just a lot more magical. Away from anything that can cause strife. A place to share with somepony you love.” She almost whispered the last part.

“I never took you for a poet AJ.” Jake smiled.

“Shut up, lie down and watch.” Applejack commanded.

Jake obliged and laid down on his side. He watched as the orange mare sat and curled herself up to his chest, feeling her warm and soft body finally make contact with his once more after hours of longing. Jake took his left arm and wrapped it around Applejack’s middle. She let out a happy sigh as she put her ear to his chest and listened to his now elevated heart rate slow to a calm tempo that was almost hypnotizing.

“AJ.” Jake broke the silence.

“Yeah sugarcube?” She looked into his green eyes, sparkling in the waning sunlight.

“I wanted to give you something.” Jake said, removing his arm from her torso and reaching into his backpack that he had with him. Applejack was shocked at what he produced.

In Jake’s hand was a slightly singed but perfectly intact brown stetson hat. Applejack took the hat in her hooves and looked at it in shock.

“H-how? I thought you said it perished in the fire?” Applejack looked at Jake.

“Well, I went back to examine the damage and as I was walking through the orchard, your hat was sitting in a clearing away from the fire. I patched it up a little bit for you, thinking you might want it back.” Jake said.

“JACOB HARTMAN YOU WONDERFUL SOUL YOU!!!” Applejack cried, tears of happiness flowing from her eyes as she wrapped him in a bone-crushing hug.

Jake rolled onto his back and pried the mare off of him and looked her square in the eyes.

Her hooves came to rest upon his chest as tears still dripped from her eyes.

“Jake. I am going to repay you and I don’t care if you say no anymore. Nopony can do this much good without reward.” She said through sobs.

“You know what? How about a date? Right here, just you and me tomorrow night?” Jake proposed.

“Ya know, I think I’d like that a lot Jake.” Applejack said.

“I think know what else you’d like a lot.” Jake grinned.

“Oh? And do tell what would that be?” Applejack asked.

“This.” Jake whispered as he put a hand behind the mare’s head and pulled her to him in a tight embrace. Their lips met eagerly and both their hearts screamed with passion and relief. They parted their maws and let each other’s tongues explore their mouths eagerly. When oxygen was finally needed, they parted and took deep breaths in unison, staring into one another’s eyes with hunger.

“I love you Applejack.” Jake whispered, kissing her on the nose.

“And I love you Jacob Hartman.” Applejack cooed as she returned the favor.

Jake got to his feet and took Applejack back to the farmhouse. It was dark now and Jake took the flashlight from his belt and lit the way. When the pair reached their destination, Jake opened the door for Applejack and ushered her inside. She was greeted by Apple Bloom and Kate’s assault of hugs and kisses and a bear hug to rival her own by Big Mac.

“Remember to keep an eye on her. She can’t strain herself until her lungs are fully healed alright?” Jake smiled and winked at Applejack.

“Eeyup.” Mac said in his usual fashion.

Jake was about to leave but before he could do so, Applejack tapped him on the arm and he turned around to face her. She stood up on her hind legs, wrapping her front hooves around Jake and kissing him deeply again. When they broke apart, a set of gasps were heard in the kitchen.

“I DARN WELL KNEW IT!! YOU OWE ME TEN BITS KATE!!” Apple Bloom cheered, jumping circles around a quite disgruntled Kate.

Jake looked at Kate and smiled as she pulled a few gold coins out of her pocket and handed them to Apple Bloom.

Jake then looked back to Applejack, who still had a bright crimson blush on her face.

“I’ll bring the guitar that Taylor gave me as a welcome present. Is that ok?” Jake asked Applejack.

Applejack’s face lit up.

“I’ve always wanted to hear how the guitar sounds. Please?” She pleaded.

“How could I say no to that face?” Jake smiled as he hissed her nose before leaving for his home at the fire station. He had some planning to do before tomorrow night.

Moonlit Picnic

Jake was exhausted. It had been a tough day at the station, mainly schoolkids setting off the warning system by acting sick. After what had to have been eight lectures on using the system responsibly he was finally ready for his date with Applejack. He filled his woven basket with salad and fruit. He also threw in a bottle of chardonnay from Berry. It was a gift to him for saving her life after her experiment with “drinking fire” went terribly wrong. Jake smiled as the memories came flooding back to him.

He picked the basket up and headed out the door.

“Blaze! Guard! I’m out!” Jake yelled back over his shoulder.

“Try not to get her knocked up!” Life Guarder said.

“Hey man that’s not very nice!” Blaze shot back at Guarder.

Jake looked relieved that he had come to his aid.

“We both know he won’t be able to smash any more ever!” Blaze burst out laughing and Guarder and him were rolling on the floor as Jake rolled his eyes and left for Sweet Apple Acres, picking up his guitar case as he went out the door..

Jake was still in his fireman’s work uniform of blue pants, blue collared shirt complete with Ponyville FD logo and his special baseball cap with the same logo on it as well. The walk was pleasant in the late afternoon sun as the day began to cool down. When he arrived at the rendezvous point, AJ was nowhere to be seen, not to worry though. Jake sat down and waited as the sun sank lower in the sky and the daylight dimmed. He pulled his Fire Department sweatshirt out of the basket and pulled it over his head. He chuckled a little bit to himself as he realized that most of his wardrobe consisted of work clothes. He shifted his glasses on his face and continued to wait. As the light became faint, Jake realized something, he’d been played. Applejack had just wanted his help and a quick peck on the lips was his reward. As he began to put stuff back into the basket he felt something hard and plastic inside of it. Jake fished his fire helmet out of the basket and a piece of paper floated to the ground beside it.

Jake picked it up and read the note.

Dear Jake,

I stopped by the station today to talk but you weren’t there. I’m writing this note and leaving it in your helmet since you forgot it being the big goof that I know you to be. I’m gonna run a bit late for our date tonight because we have some extra work to do at the farm.

See you later sugarcube

Love,

Applejack

As he finished reading the note, Jake heard rustling in the nearby thicket. He saw a lantern light swinging in the now dark orchard. As the lantern approached him, Jake could see Applejack’s familiar brown stetson swaying with her movements. As she entered the clearing at the hill’s crest, where Jake stood waiting for her, Jake saw an astounding sight.

Applejack, the simple country mare was wearing a light green sundress with a single large daisy fixed in her hat’s brim.

“Well speak of the devil. I just read your little note here.” Jake smiled, waving the tiny piece of paper in his hand.

“Sorry I’m so late. It was a whole barn-load of apples today. I’m so sore right now and what I need is to relax a little bit. Funny how things work out huh?” Applejack smiled.

“Indeed Ms. Applejack. Now how about some dinner in the moonlight since you denied me dinner in the sunset with your labors.” Jake ushered her to sit down. She obliged and enjoyed the meal and wine. As Jake packed his things up, Applejack laid in the moonlight, her body glowing in the luminescence of the starry night. Jake laid down behind her and she jumped a little bit in surprise. She turned to face him.

“Hey there cowboy.” Applejack whispered.

“Hey yourself cowgirl.” Jake chuckled.

“Can I get out of this damned sundress. It is driving me crazier than a rickshaw driver with no eyes.” She said.

“Sure. I don’t mind.” Jake laughed.

She slipped the dress off and tossed it to the side, casting her stetson along with it.

“Can you give me a quick massage sugarcube? For my muscle’s sake?” Applejack pleaded.

“Why the hell not.” Jake shrugged as he cracked his knuckles.

He straddled Applejack’s back and started at her slender neck. Kneading gently until her tension dissolved in his fingers.

He moved down to her back as Applejack tore off the ribbon that tied her mane up and let it flow free. Jake let out a sharp gasp.

“What’s wrong sugarcube?” Applejack asked Jake.

“Nothing, you just look incredibly beautiful when your mane is down like that.” Jake admitted.,

She let out a giggle and ushered for him to continue.

Jake obliged and moved his hands down her back working his fingers into her muscular back.

Applejack let out little moans and coos at his touch. Now she saw what everypony was talking about with these fingers, the were the stuff of miracles.

Jake soon reached her flank and stopped. Applejack felt her loins burn in anxiousness as she looked back at him.

“What’s wrong sugar?” Applejack asked.

“I-uh didn’t want to go anywhere you weren’t comfortable with.” Jake said sheepishly.

“Sugarcube, you just treated me to dinner on a moonlit evening and frankly, after all that apple bucking, my flanks need some attention.” Applejack purred.

“You got it AJ.” Jake replied as he sank his fingers into the soft firm and pliable flesh of Applejack’s flank.

Applejack let out a quite audible moan of pleasure at his touch. As he continued to knead her rear, Applejack felt a familiar ache in her loins and could feel herself getting quite aroused by his touch.

“Jake. St-stop.” Applejack managed to moan out.

“What’s wrong AJ?” Jake asked her, a worried look plastered on his face.

“Nothing's wrong sugarcube. As a matter of fact I think you’ll like the next part even better.” Applejack said huskily as she slowly got to her hooves and stood over Jake.

“Applejack, if your talking about sex then I have to refuse. We can kiss and make out as much as you want but I want to get to know you a bit more before we get into stuff like that.” Jake said, crushing Applejack’s hopes.

“I understand Jake.” She said glumly as she began to pick up her things.

“Ahem. I never said you couldn’t nuzzle right up to my side and watch the stars while I play my guitar.” Jake smiled.

Applejack’s eyes lit up and she grinned ear to ear as she set her things down once more and did as he had said.

Jake pulled out his guitar and strummed a few strings to make sure it was tuned and he began to play.

Youtube Video

Applejack was mesmerized by the way his voice sounded and the music coming out of the instrument. She felt safe, secure, calm, collected, loved, and absolutely blissful.

As Jake continued his song, Applejack nestled her head in his lap and breathed slowly, drinking in his music and his beautiful voice.

As the sign came to a close, Applejack looked up to him and smiled, a few tears in her sparkling green orbs.

“That was amazing. Beyond anything I’ve ever heard before. No wonder you were able to get me so quickly.” Applejack smiled.

“Well this and saving your life you know, but no big deal right?” Jake chuckled.

“Oh what would I ever do without my brave hero? I would be roasted like a head of lettuce on a spit.” She fake swooned.

“I think Rarity would award that little performance.” Jake laughed.

Applejack laughed along with him and pushed him down onto the grass as he put his guitar back in its case.

Applejack curled up to Jake’s muscular torso and held him close.

“I love you Jake. More than I love apples.” Applejack whispered, her face inches from Jake’s.

“I have not a metaphor like that Applejack. But I can say for a fact that I love you.” Jake smiled as he met her halfway for a deep kiss that both of them would never wish to end.

Blaze [clop]

Around a year had passed since that wonderful night in the moonlight, Jake and Applejack were still together, spending their days off with one another and walking around town.

Many ponies had noticed the two getting closer and closer. After around the six month mark, Ponyville had figured out that the human and the country mare had gotten together. They were undeniably cute together and there was no denying that the love they shared was quite strong but they had not ventured into the realm of sexual desire yet. The farthest they had gone were heavy make-out sessions on Applejack’s bed, yet, when Applejack asked to go a step further, Jake would turn her offer down. Sure his erection screamed otherwise, but his mind told him that he wanted to be with Applejack for a little while longer before venturing there. Jake saw his opportunity when their one year anniversary approached. Applejack had been asking for sex for at least a few months now and Jake was happy to finally feel confident enough to give it to her. But he wanted to do it right, like he would back on Earth. He would treat Applejack to some love and attention, order dinner, and make his move after. He was all set, a twinge of nervousness ripped through his body but quickly subsided as he made up his mind.

He left work that Friday with the intention to take the weekend off. He was granted this request due to his ability to plot-kiss and be damn good at his job. Jake made his way to his new home. It was modified to fit his large body and towered over the nearby neighborhood homes. His neighbors were quite nice, Taylor, Bon Bon and their foal Sweet Seas, and 2 mares by the name of Lily and Roseluck. Jake opened his door and entered his home, his mind racing with preparation ideas. Applejack was no Rarity in the sense that she hated pink lovey dovey stuff. Of course, that didn’t mean she didn’t like the love poems Jake wrote her and left hanging in the trees of the orchard so when she did her work, she was rewarded with a sweet love poem about her. It never ceased to amaze her how silver his tongue was. Jake knew what dinner was going to be that night, pasta and sauce. Applejack had said on numerous occasions that this simple meal was her absolute favorite. Jake cracked his knuckles and began to work.

When Applejack arrived at Jake’s house like she did every Friday night, she immediately sensed something different. She entered to the glorious smell of tomato sauce and garlic bread. She found Jake in the dining room, waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her, his face lit up in a smile.

“Well hello there my hard working mare. Have a seat, dinner is ready.” Jake beamed.

“Well yer awfully chipper today ain’t cha?” Applejack returned his smile.

“I got the weekend off so yeah, I’m in a pretty good mood. Getting to spend it with you makes it even better.” He said, pulling her chair out for her.

They ate their dinner making small talk about their days and their boring work, it all came to an end as Jake cleared the dishes and packed away his leftovers.

“Hey AJ, I haven’t showered yet so before you curl up with me, just let me clean myself up alright?” Jake asked.

“Sure thing sugarcube. Don’t take too long.” Applejack winked at him.

He pecked her on the lips before climbing the stairs to his bathroom.

This part of the plan was crucial, since it all depended on Applejack doing her part. Jake was no idiot and he knew that Applejack would sit and listen to him in the shower when she came over. Sure enough, as he turned the hot water on, her heard hoofbeats approach and stop outside the bathroom door.

Jake stripped down to his boxers and counted to three before flinging the door open and grabbing Applejack in one motion. She let out an alarmed yelp as he shut and locked the door before setting her down.

“What are ya-oh.” Applejack looked at Jake, a blush making its way across her face.

“Happy one year anniversary Applejack.” Jake said before picking her up yet again and bringing her lips to his own in a sloppy kiss. When they pulled apart, it finally clicked in her mind. He was going to give her what she desired for so long now. Her eyes hooded themselves and she looked down to Jake’s crotch to see the tent he was pitching. It was quite evident now as it stuck out like a silo underneath her.

“Am I that good hun?” Applejack purred.

“You have no idea how long I’ve been holding this back. Let me tell you AJ, you might not walk straight for a while I’m so pent up.” He growled in a husky voice as he mashed lips with her. His tongue snaked into her mouth and her own followed. She tasted like apples, nothing new there, he was more interested as to what her leaky faucet tasted like, feeling her arousal drip onto his boxers.

Jake opened the shower door and stepped inside, making sure to discard Applejack’s hat and mane and tail ties along with his own boxers before entering. They continued to make-out with renewed vigor as Applejack grinded her dripping slit against his shaft.

“Jake! Touch me! Please! I’ve waited too long!” Applejack cried in desperation

Jake brought one hand from her flank to her hot nethers and slid his finger inside. Applejack let out a scream of relief as Jake began to pump her slowly with his fingers.

“Oh Jake yes! Sweet Celestia!” Applejack cried out.

Suddenly he pulled out and set her down on the floor of the stall. Jake spread her legs and dove into her cunt head first. Applejack threw her head back and let out a silent scream of ecstasy as her back arched.

“Holy buck Jake!” She cried.

Jake snaked his tongue into her snatch, tasting and feeling every part of her insides, brushing her clit with his teeth.

Applejack came with a scream and another arching of her back. Jake lapped up every drop of fem-cum that came his way to the point that his chin glistened with her and the water cascading down upon them.

“I want to continue this in the bedroom. Is that ok?” Applejack asked seductively, already knowing the answer.

“Yes ma’m” Jake said with a smile.

As they dried themselves off, modesty was cast to the wind as Applejack leaped up into his arms and began kissing him again as they made their way to the bed.

Jake set the farmer mare down on the soft sheets and she looked up pleadingly at him.

“Jake, please. Rut me, love me, make me your mare!” Applejack nearly begged.

Her answer came in the form of his throbbing erection parting her lower lips.

Applejack tensed up at the feeling of excitement that washed over her.

“It’s my first time so be gentle.” Applejack said to the human.

“Applejack, my lovely Applejack. I will do anything for you.” Jake said.

He suddenly pulled himself out.

“JAKE? Wha-” Applejack shouted in shock at the feeling of being left hanging.

“Applejack, I want you to move over so I can lie down.” Jake instructed.

Applejack did as she was told and Jake set himself down on the bed and patted his chest.

Applejack crawled onto his defined torso and kissed him deeply.

Jake broke off for a moment, as Applejack felt his head at her entrance again.

“This is gonna hurt a little, so just kiss me and let me do the work, ok?” Jake asked.

“Yeah, I gotcha Jakey” Applejack whimpered.

With one quick motion, he entered her. His shaft sliding up through her love tunnel and breaking her hymen easily.

Applejack let out a muffled cry as she felt the excruciating pain of her virginity being taken. The pain was intense but within a minute was giving way to pleasure Applejack had never felt the likes of before in her life.

“Oh Celestia Jake!” Applejack murmured.

“Ready to move?” Jake asked her tentatively.

“Yes” She whispered.

Jake pulled out until just his tip remained in and thrust softly back into her tight snatch.

The light smack of her flank against his made a sound quite satisfying to the both of them.

Applejack let out a loud cry of ecstasy as she felt Jake’s cock fill her to her limit and remove itself, making her shudder uncontrollably with pleasure. She would reach her peak soon, there was no question about that.

“Jake! I’m about ta cum!” Applejack said.

“Go for it then.” Jake grunted.

Applejack increased her pace and rode him until she felt a solid brick wall of pleasure hit her square in the chest. Applejack screamed as she dumped her fluids all over Jake’s still embedded cock.

Applejack slowed her pace and lowered her muzzle to his face and kissed him.

“Have you even hit your peak yet sugarcube?” Applejack asked.

“Nope.” Jake smiled.

“Wow, so it is true. You humans do last longer in the hay.” Applejack chuckled.

“Wanna go again?” Jake asked.

“Hay yeah I do.” She smirked,

Jake suddenly thrust himself as deep as he could, getting a cry out of the startled mare. Applejack ground her hips into his as they made out with fervor and passion.

“Applejack, I’m about to peak!” Jake warned.

“Inside! Give it to me! Make me your mare!” Applejack cried as Jake thrust deep within her depths on final time and released his seed into her waiting snatch. The feeling of his love enter her sent Applejack over the edge and into another world of bliss.

Their chests heaved and they kissed deeply as they reveled in the glow of each other’s orgasms.

“That was amazing.” Applejack panted.

“I figured we would like it.” Jake smiled.

“We are going to do this again sometime, but right now, I think we just need some rest after we clean up sugarcube.” Applejack cooed as she brushed a lock of his dark brown hair out of his eyes.

“I can live with that.” Jake chuckled.

They rose and walked to the bathroom for another shower, this time for cleaning and not foreplay.

As they washed and scrubbed each other clean of their romp, Applejack got on to her hind legs and laid her head on Jake’s muscular torso.

“Jake, promise you’ll never leave me for another mare. Stay with me forever.” Applejack cooed.

“After tonight, it’s gonna take some convincing to get me to leave your bright and beautiful face.” Jake said, looking down into the mare’s sparkling green eyes with his own.

That night was the first night Jake and Applejack shared together as lovers and as soul-mates. For Applejack, he had truly set her heart afire with affection.
