“I have to say, that meal wasn’t so bad,” Midnight hummed as they returned to their room. “It was no Fredricks, or Ciders...but, eh, it was passable.”

“That’s because you are spoiled Mistress,” Scope replied, picking some leftover fish from her teeth. “That was quite tasty.”

“Yup, I may have to parley with them for their fish recipes,” Ledger admitted with a nod. “Any time I tried with Fredrick or the Chop Shop, they...were less than enthusiastic at the idea.” With a light touch of magic, the door unlocked and slowly swung open as the party of four approached their room.

The stallion had barely walked in before Cider pounced him, smiling widely as she pulled him into a deep kiss. Song blinked, surprised she’d been beaten to the punch.

“Sweet Hives, you lot can’t wait five minutes can you?” Scope sighed. Eventually Ledger managed to break the kiss for air so he could reply.

“I think Cider’s...thankful for the tree I managed to get,” the unicorn gasped out.

“Clearly,” Scope replied dryly. “Alright, I take it you lot plan on writhing about together for the foreseeable future?”

“Looks that way,” Midnight said as she put her bag away, as Cider continued to molest Ledger.

“I had hoped dinner might provide a distraction, but clearly not,” Ledger said as he floated his saddlebag off and into the room at large. “To be clear, is this just for the tree, or for the price I managed to get for it?” he asked the farmmare.

“What. Kinda. Mare,” she said huskily as she kissed various parts of his body, each one deepening his blush. “Do ya think ah am? Can’t ah jus’... enjoy mah stallion~?”

“Typically you don’t try to outperform Midnight,” Ledger pointed out as his head started to turn red. “Okay, before this gets any worse, I motion we move this to the bedroom.”

Midnight cast a sideways glance at Scope. The Pegasus blinked and shook her head.

“Yeah. No. This afternoon has been confusing enough thank you.” She fished Midnight’s bitpurse out and put it in her own bag. “Today has been...weird. Imma hit the town. You lot have fun, I’ll be back in a few hours.”

“Nopony’s pressuring you Scopey,” Midnight hummed as she placed a wing over the Pegasus. “And even I don’t know what runs through Ledger’s head half of the time.”

“I don’t think even Ledger knows,” Scope chuckled as she turned towards the door. “Still, the soundproofing only works outside the room, and I really don’t want to have to hear you lot. So, laters.”

“Take cARE! Cider!” Ledger’s typical ‘farewell’ had been...interrupted, for lack of a better word, as his voice’s pitch climbed a few degrees thanks to what somepony was doing. The earth mare just grinned as her tongue went lower.

“Yeah, gone now,” Scope sighed as she left the room. Midnight waved goodbye, before she turned and looked at the pair, a wide smile on her face and a dangerous look in her eye.

“Oh, so you decided to start without Mistress Midnight hmm?”

“I am suddenly regretting all my decisions, and I’m not the one that started this,” Ledger said as he looked at the bedroom, trying to judge if he could get there before Midnight joined the fray.

“You started without me...You will be punished~” Midnight purred as she grabbed Cider, her long tongue already wasting no time in assaulting the mare’s flower. Cider squealed under the sudden attack, letting go of Ledger as her squeals evolved into deep moans.

“And when you two are ready to join me, I’ll be in the bedroom so that Scope can at least pretend we didn’t rut right here,” Ledger said as he disentangled himself from the mares and walked, a little awkwardly, to the room in question. “First order of business, testing out the two-bed setup.”

“L-Ledger~ Help...Me~” Cider panted, trying to crawl away. Midnight just hummed as she watched her escape, stalking the both of them into the room, closing the door behind her.

“Let the fun begin~”

Ledger crawled onto the two side-by-side beds and curled up a little, making himself comfortable while enjoying the show. Surely, Midnight would want to finish up with Cider first, right? And if not, he was fine with her shifting her attentions as well. On another note, this was a comfy, cozy setup.

“Such a naughty colt, letting your mare get carried away like that,” Midnight smirked as she stepped up onto the bed. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you. It’s time to play Levvie~”

“Mm, one moment,” Ledger said as he closed his eyes and focused. A brief flash of silver later, the changeling nodded at the batpony mare. “You may now continue to tease your drone.”

“Aw, cute~” Midnight purred as she looked over to Cider. “You. Over here now!”

“Wha?” Cider blinked.

“Now!” Midnight barked as Cider flinched and hopped up onto the bed. Midnight smiled and gave her a deep, yet gentle kiss. “Mmm, good girl. Now, as you were.”

“Huh?” Cider was all sorts of confused now and Midnight sighed.

“Look, just do as I say okay? Just trust me.”

“O-Okay,” Cider nodded. Admittedly, she was getting a small thrill from this. Midnight pointed at Ledger.

“Now, as I said. Keep. Going.”

Cider nodded obediently as she mounted Level, planting small kisses and licks along his chitin. While she was doing that, Midnight hummed as she nibbled the mare’s ears, eliciting small gasps from her.

“No taste test? I’m almost offended,” Ledger said as he attempted to catch Midnight for a kiss. Every time he failed, though, he took the chance to turn it into a kiss on Cider’s form instead.

“As I said, I haven’t forgotten,” Midnight hummed. “You will get your turn, but this one has to be punished first.” Her hooves trailed along Cider’s sides, before cupping her Cutie Marks and giving them a firm squeeze. The mare squealed again, before pressing her muzzle against Ledger’s. Ledger took the open invitation and gave Cider a kiss. Mostly to show he loved her, but also to make certain that her moans were very much muffled. He didn’t know what Midnight would get up to next, but he would like to keep his hearing intact.

He soon found out, as Midnight moved behind the two of them. Another muffled squeal told Ledger where the thestral’s hoof was...but where was her ton-!?

Oh? Hello! Well at least she was being honest about that taste test! Ledger looked at Cider and smirked, before breaking the kiss and hugging the mare closer.

“Well, I suppose I’ll wait until Midnight feels you’ve been punished enough before I add my two bits,” the changeling commented. Oooh, that was ni~ice.

After a few moments and Midnight making well and truly sure that Level was at full mast, she pulled back with a smile. Placing her hooves on Cider’s flanks again, she rubbed them gently, and then pushed down, impaling the mare on Ledger with a satisfied smirk.

Cider muffled a surprised yelp, burying her muzzle in the crook of Level’s neck. Ledger similarly muffled his moan...but by gently gripping the farmmare’s neck...with his fangs. Both because it was the first thing he could think of, and the first thing he thought of, he knew she’d like.

Cider shuddered as she gripped Ledger tightly, moaning loudly as he bit her. The moment ended all too soon as she was pushed up slightly by Midnight, who kissed her as she stood over Ledger’s chest, her own marehood inches from his muzzle.

“I’m sure a clever little colt like you can figure things out from here,” she smiled, before returning to kissing her marefriend, who was already starting to grind her hips against Level’s. Ledger responded by showing off a trick he’d learned over a few nights of practice. He was certain he wouldn’t be anywhere near Midnight’s level of expertise, but it was time to pull out this trick as well.

Ledger closed his mouth to hide the silver flash before opening it back up and putting his tongue to work on the Thestral above him...and kept doing it...and kept doing it…

He was really thankful that he’d started dating her, otherwise he might never know of all the fun a Thestral could have with their tongues.

“Oohhhh~” Midnight moaned softly at this new form of pleasure. So this was what it was like being on the receiving end. “Somepony is getting a special treat for this~” She placed her hooves on Cider’s shoulders and pushed the mare down further, until Ledger was balls-deep inside the tight earth pony, causing him to moan into the mare he was feeding his tongue into.

Midnight groaned again as she tightened around his tongue. While it was a very new feeling for her, it didn’t keep her completely distracted for too long. Cider was starting to find her rhythm as she bounced on Ledger’s lap, a lewd, wet slapping filled the room as she panted with each thrust.

“Oh, I forgot to mention,” Midnight hummed. “Cider and I are aaallll stocked up on our potions.” She smiled wickedly as she looked down at him. “No need to hold back tonight Levvy~”

Ledger moaned into Midnight’s folds again as he started to buck back into Cider, before a wicked idea crossed his mind as well. Using the most of his control that he could at this moment, the stallion pulled a little of his long tongue out of the mare, before using it to hit her clit. Maybe that’d stem the tide of words that just seemed intent on making him blow...

“Hhnnn!” Midnight groaned as she pushed her hips against his muzzle. “Whatever you’re doing down there, it will not end well for you if you even think of stopping!”

“That...good?” Cider panted as she switched, drawing herself up tantalizingly slowly, before slamming her hips back down.

Ledger moaned again and held himself still, letting Cider set her own pace. His tongue, however...he used the small bit he’d pulled out to encircle the batpony’s clit, and began pumping her like he normally would with a different part of his anatomy. Every thrust and pull back tweaked that sensitive nub of flesh.

“păstra. merge...(keep...going)” Song panted in her own tongue as she forgot to kiss Cider as she moaned. “So good...ah! Almost...”

Ledger decided to deliver the last thing he could: with a bending of his neck and a little maneuvering, he gently nibbled at the batpony’s folds with his fangs. Her eyes widened as she shrieked and came. Hard.

Ledger’s muzzle was drenched in her juices as she clung to Cider, shivering as she rode out her climax. The changeling did the best that he could to drink it all down, seeing as she herself tasted a bit like the mangoes she loved so much, but there was just too much for it to be feasible. He was hopeful that housekeeping wouldn’t raise too much of a fuss...

He felt something grip him tightly, as Cider watched her batpony climax, it triggered her own and she gave an adorably sexy moan. Ledger soon found himself underneath two moaning mares, sharing a sloppy kiss while they came around him. The moment and emotions around it was too much for him as well, and with a powerful thrust, he began filling the mare riding him with his generous contribution.

The three stayed like that for a moment, before Cider was the first to lift herself off and roll over, panting lightly as Midnight raised her hips and turned herself around. Barely giving Ledger time to rest, she buried his entire length inside her, her abdomen gaining a slight bulge from the hefty package.

“My turn,” she smiled. Ledger just stuck his tongue out and used it to make a ‘come hither’ motion before he lay back on the beds, utterly exhausted...for the moment. He was certain that would change soon enough, though.

Cider rolled over and smiled at him. “She’s bein’ quite demandin’ tonight,” she said with a wink. “Perhaps she’s the one that should learn her place, hmm?”

“Like Ledger has the strength left to do that,” Midnight smirked. The stallion looked like he wanted to say something and Midnight leaned closer.

“Give her a taste,” Ledger said with a smirk. “I think you’ll like it.” Step one, distract the bat...

Cider stood over Level and gave her flank a wiggled as Midnight’s tongue dove in. The bat humming at the mare’s sweet taste and eagerly lapped it up. Cider groaned as her legs almost gave out, her mouth parting as she panted. Ledger merely smiled as he felt his own strength returning. It’d helped that he’d not moved much during round one...and that there was a lot of lust and love in the air. Plus, Midnight might be a bit distracted when she learned what Cider’s filling tasted like.

Midnight pulled back and blinked. “Wait, what the buck?”

“Something wrong?” Cider asked, a little concerned over that reaction when she was doing something like that.

“...Chocolate?” Midnight blinked and Cider looked down at Ledger.

“Really Ledger?”

“Midnight gave me the idea on the train and I wanted to see how you two reacted to it,” He said with a shrug. “Forgive a stallion his curiosity when he finds a spell like this.”

“Not complaining!” the Thestral said happily as she dove back in.

“Hhyaaannnn~” Cider cried out as she almost collapsed under the assault. “D-darn it Ledger.... ah’ll-ah’ll get you ....fer thhHHIISS?”

The drone reached up with a hoof and gently pushed the mare to one side, so that when she did collapse, she wouldn’t collapse on top of him...plus, every distraction he could use against Midnight was a good one. His forehooves then gripped Midnight’s flanks for extra leverage as he started to buck into the batpony atop him.

“Mmm,” Midnight moaned into Cider, causing the mare’s sighs and pants to increase in tempo and volume. Cider finally fell onto the bed, though Midnight’s tongue still had enough reach to dig into the twitching mare. Ledger smirked...and that was when he struck.

With surprising strength, the stallion slipped out, and out from under, Midnight, before jumping up to his hooves, jumping onto Midnight, and landing on her back. With one hoof, he all but pushed the batpony’s muzzle into Cider’s lips. “Do be a dear and clean up that mess,” Ledger told Midnight while he let her get used to the new situation. The mare was quite surprised and she stared at her stallion, spreading her hind legs a little.

“I can do that, but what do you plan on doing~?”

“Once you’re cleaning up that mess, I plan to make a new one,” Ledger said as he prodded Midnight’s flank with their mutual friend. “Hopefully it’ll be well-contained.”

“I guess we’ll have to see,” Midnight hummed as she opened her maw and placed it over Cider’s drenched mound, her tongue lapping up all the juices the apple mare had spilled. Then as Midnight pulled back, she made a small performance of showing Ledger all the cum he’d pumped inside the mare, now residing in the bat’s mouth, before she closed it and smiled, swallowing.

“Good mare,” Ledger said, softly stroking her mane. “Now, get ready for a fresh mess inside of you...and Cider, when you feel up to it, do ask for her to service you as well as I did her.” With that, Ledger pulled back and thrust deep into Midnight in one go.

The mare sighed, her eyes closing as she lay back, her hooves around Ledger’s neck. “I feel...like I’m in for a bit of trouble huh~?”

“Perhaps,” Ledger said with a smirk as he displayed his long tongue again. He was going to get a kick out of using this~ “I’ll make you a deal, little Midnight. You give it your all with Cider, and I’ll give it my all in getting you off again~”

Midnight grinned as she rolled over, so she could lay on her belly. Shifting until she was comfortable, her tongue and hooves went to work, and the barely recuperated earth pony was already writhing in pleasure again. Ledger responded by letting his tongue loll out and sending it southwards, teasing at Midnight’s lips while he thrust into them. He was frankly amazed that Thestrals had tongues this long, or what else they used them for.

“I’m...surprised how good you are,” Midnight moaned and bit her hoof as she shuddered. “Takes...practice...and-”

“Y’all talk too much,” Cider replied as she pressed her hips against the batpony’s muzzle. “Put that tongue o’yers to better use hmm?”

“Agreed,” Ledger said as he pulled back so he could talk properly. “And I’m sure I don’t have all the tricks you know. I practiced until I had control over this past week and a half. Then I practiced until I could do fiddly things. Took a lot of empty time at work, time when you two weren’t up...but I’d say it was worth it.” Ledger then snaked his tongue down to tease at something Midnight had become very familiar with while he resumed pistoning into her.

Midnight was spared a second to pull back and shot him a look. “Ledger...where do you plan on putting thhaaaAAAA~!”

“Found her on button,” Ledger said through his thick tongue. “Let’s see if we can’t find the off one.” With another thrust, the Changeling drone began teasing the mare’s clit in concert with his motions.

“Oohhgaawwdddd~” Midnight nearly fell into Cider as Ledger bucked her into the mattress. The apple mare smiled as she placed her hooves on the Thestral’s head, teasing her fluffy ears. She then shifted one of her hindhooves and began rubbing the mare’s teats, and Midnight climaxed again, her screams of pleasure muffled by Cider’s lips.

Ledger felt the tunnel gripping him tighten and he groaned at the sensation, already feeling nearly ready to fill up his other mare. With a bit of work, the Changeling retracted his tongue and closed his mouth. A muted silver flash saw his normal tongue returned, and the drone leaned over to kiss Cider on the lips, wanting to taste her lust and love directly.

The mare replied in kind as she leaned up to meet him, smiling as she let him drink his fill of her emotions. Under the two of them, Midnight twitched again as she lost herself in pleasure. Being all dommy was fun, but so was the opposite.

“Mmm, she’s been such a good mare,” Cider whispered huskily into her ear as she nibbled on it. “Why don’t you really give it to her. No holding back now...” She gave him a potent sensual stare and licked her lips. “Breed her Levvy~”

A very small part of Ledger knew that they were on the potion and were safe. That part can safely be called the rational mind. It also had no part of what happened next.

Ledger thrust once, twice, and on the third hammering strike into Midnight, held himself still and just unloaded into the mare below him. This...this felt right.

Midnight’s eyes went wide as she was filled so utterly. It was like somepony had stuffed a hose in there and blasted it on full. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out as she just lay there as Ledger continued to pulse inside of her, her belly already filling to the point of bulging. Ledger himself shuddered a little as he held himself still, waiting for the flow to die down before he eased out of the mare. He really didn’t want to make the mess worse...with a trembling hoof, he stroked Midnight’s mane and whispered to her.

“Good mare...take it all…”

It was so brief, even a blink would be considered an eternity, but it was there, a brief moment of...something, something not-Midnight.

“Yeessss,” she groaned, lying obediently as he continued to flood her.

“Whoa, you really went all out huh?” Cider hummed. “Ah think you broke her.”

“You had a similar reaction,” Ledger reminded Cider as he felt the flow start to slow. “And this...just feels right. Not like then at all. I’m with ponies I love and trust completely. And they’re asking for this. Why wouldn’t I do this?”

Midnight mumbled something, but neither really understood her. It sounded like she was trying to speak Thestrali and Equestrian at the same time. Cider looked at the overflow and chuckled.

“Whelp, ah reckon housekeepin’ will need a sizable tip tomorrow.”

“Probably,” Ledger ruefully admitted as he felt himself finally stop. With a bit of effort, the drone withdrew himself from the Thestral mare and tried to lay down so that he wasn’t lying in any fluids. Easier said than done. Though once he did accomplish it, he reached out with his forelegs and magic to bring his mares close and cuddle them during the afterglow.

“I love you both, so much,” Ledger said, nuzzling first Midnight, then Cider. “I don’t think I’ve said it enough.”

“Doesn’t matter how many times, y’all say it,” Cider smiled as she returned the nuzzle. “Ah’ll never get sick of hearin’ it.”

“A-Agreed,” Midnight twitched, finally finding her voice. “I need...ah...oohhh,” she shuddered as Ledger’s filling begun to flow out of her as she collapsed to the bed.

“And I think that’s our cue to sleep,” Ledger said as he lay down, not letting go of either mare.

“Nuu, need...bathroom,” Song finally said and Cider chuckled as she got up.

“Ah’ll help her, be right back okay?”

Ledger sighed, but nodded and lay down without his mares. There would be plenty of time to snuggle later.

After they’d returned, Song being carried by Cider as the apple mare pulled the wet sheets off of the bed they had used, before settling down on the other with Ledger. She placed Midnight on one side as she snuggled up on the other. The sound of a door opening and closing signalled that Scope had also returned home.

“Family’s all back together,” Ledger wryly observed before snuggling both his mares and basking in the emotions. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that he picked up on another emotion, not unlike the ones he had just gorged on.

The difference was that it was coming from another room, along with a muffled whimper or two. Ledger blinked before sighing. Best to address it now, otherwise it’d just fester and make it worse later on down the line. With a bit of work, the drone worked himself free of his mares and set them to cuddle one another. “Back in a bit,” he told them, before sneaking off to Scope’s room to listen in.

The feeling of lust was a lot stronger now, as he heard the cutest little sighs and moans. Keeping his emotions under control, Ledger carefully eased her door open just a crack so he could hear what the smaller ‘ling’ was fantasizing about.

“Ahn~” her sharp cry rang out as she found a sweet spot. As obnoxious as those Violets had been, at least they’d had a few useful lessons. “Nnn, harder~”

Ledger just stood there, listening. If she said a name, he’d know he have to intervene. If she actually had...desires based around him, they’d have to talk.

Mainly about how that’d be possible, but the fact that he was currently taken by two mares would play a role as well...though, they had given their blessing…

Plus, he wasn’t sure if she even still thought of him like...that.

Scope cried out again, “Ahhh! Mistress~” she shuddered as she drank in the heavy lust that dominated the room, before sighing again, this time, more contently.

Ah, just as Ledger had thought, she wasn’t interested in him at all, but Midnight...well, maybe he’d tone back the teasing, then...wouldn’t be fair to keep it up if she didn’t actually want him.

“What do you want?” Scope whispered huskily, and it took Ledger a second, while panicking, to realise she wasn’t talking to him. “Tch! fine, I guess so... show me that gift of yours~” He then heard her resume her ministrations. “Show...ah, show me Secret~”

Oooooor maybe she did want him like that. Okay, this...was not in his list of responses. Should he confront her, should he ignore it, should he act casually…

And then the logical part of his brain took a small vacation, leaving only one thought.

Buck it.

Ledger let loose his emotions, just a little. Just enough to let the nymph know he was here...and that he too was...interested. With one hoof, he eased the door open and put on his best seductive look. Hopefully she wouldn’t panic...she was so much cuter when she wasn’t panicking.

There was a surprised squeak and once he entered, all he saw was a small mound under the blanket, and two bright blue eyes staring out from under it.

“W-W-what the heck do you-”

Ledger interrupted the nymph by gently pulling her out from under her blanket with his magic and kissing her on the lips...a kiss that he pumped full of lust, much of which he’d just gorged on himself. He hoped that was an...adequate answer to whatever question she’d been about to ask.

After the kiss broke, leaving the spluttering nymph to blush and stammer for a moment. She finally found her voice and smacked his muzzle with a hoof.

“I-I thought I said to ask!?” she said with a frown. “And...what the buck are you doing in my room!?”

Ledger slowly turned back to Scope with a sultry look in his eyes. “My apologies, Lady Lens, but I could feel your need across the way, and it is not my way to let a need go...unfulfilled.” He gently caressed her face with one hoof before continuing. “Will you allow this drone to show you love and lust like you’ve never known before? Will you allow this drone to fulfill your needs? Will you let me buck you into next week?”

She just stared at him, blinking slowly on occasion.

Then she gave him his response.

“Go back to your mares Ledger,” she said dryly as she slammed the bedroom door in his face. “We will talk about this when I am comfortable.”

“Putting it off just makes it worse!” Ledger said into the door before sighing and turning back to his own bedroom. “Oh, very well then. I’ll just be sure to remind her about this when she does ask…”

Once she was sure he’d left, she slumped against the door, her heart beating a thousand miles a minute.

“That...that was too close... I-I almost...” she shuddered as she touched her cheek with her hoof, the same one Ledger had just done. She looked at the door, knowing if she opened it now...

She just...wasn’t sure. Not just yet...
