Making Honey

"Romance"

Buttercup had found the perfect mare. A singer, at a party... with a full concerto behind her. The whole place lit up when she first began her aria. Even before hearing her honeyed voice, Buttercup knew. Diamond Dream, the perfect pegasus -- beautiful rainbow mane, pretty cyan body. She, of course, invited her over, and they were together alone. This was how it worked each and every time.

Diamond was a little chunky... fat. She was actually larger than Buttercup, but that was okay. Soft, innocent magenta eyes... adorable, petite face. Cutie mark of an open book, just like Buttercup could read her. She was maybe nineteen, and spoke of things as though they were still fresh and new. This made Buttercup smile, sincerely for once in what seemed like forever.

They were together on the couch, in Buttercup's big, empty house. This was always how it worked. Buttercup was getting to know her... the cutie. She was cute, even wearing a nice pink dress for the occasion. She wore a dress each time Buttercup saw her and Buttercup could only guess that was to hide her weight. The thing is... Buttercup liked her just the way she was.

"So tell me, Honey," Buttercup began. "What type of work does your daddy do?"

With a wiggle and a giggle, Diamond answered. She felt special around this mare, like she valued what she had to say.

"He owns a library in Manehattan," the young mare replied. "One of the big, big ones in the middle of the city."

Diamond's pupils went wide when she talked about her father.

"Oh, that sounds like an important job!" Diamond nodded as Buttercup moved in a little closer. "But what brings you to Ponyville? It's a pretty boring town, if you ask me."

"Well, mommy thought I'd like going into the country for a while before heading off to Canterlot University for some advanced vocal training. It's my last Summer and I wanted to do something special. It's so quiet here!"

"It is." Buttercup beeped her nose. "I'm glad I met you. Your voice is so magnificent! I'd imagine you drink a lot of tea to keep it sounding so soothing." She glanced over as Ironhoof brought out the first teapot. "You always liked my tea?"

Diamond nodded.

"Uh-huh! It's really good!"

"But... it's such an adult beverage! Surely that must be boring to a young mare such as yourself. You wouldn't rather have a pop?"

Diamond crossed her forelegs.

"I am an adult and sodapop hurts your throat!" She giggled. "Mommy made me drink your tea when I was younger to help me each time relax before a performance. I've been hooked since."

"Oh?" Buttercup looked into her eyes again, this time scooching in a little closer... putting her foreleg on the back of the couch. "Did it help you?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Well... you most certainly are an adult or else you wouldn't be here." Buttercup beeped her nose. "But still a cutie! You are quite cute, actually. Perhaps you would like to try my tea fresh and... with me?"

Diamond beamed an adorable grin.

"Yes, yes, please!"

Buttercup grinned back as Ironhoof began filling the cups. She put her foreleg gently around the mare's shoulders, gauging her reaction. At first she saw Diamond's face contract, felt some stiffness in her shoulders... she was either this filly's first or moving too fast. At around nineteen both were possible. Buttercup tried to look into her eyes, but Diamond suddenly took an interest in the plush carpeting.

Drat.

Since she couldn't decide what to do, Buttercup just went with her gut...

"Hey," Buttercup whispered, softly. "Hey, up here silly." Diamond's eyes drifted towards her mouth, which she noticed moved in a rather soothing way. "It's okay... I want you to feel comfortable around me. Can't you relax? You've got nothing to worry about, so as long as I'm around."

She looked into Buttercup's eyes again. The older mare could taste her nervousness. It was palpable, tangible, but it also felt malleable. Buttercup kept her hoof right where it was, caressing Diamond's shoulder.

"That's my pretty girl." She beeped her nose again, getting in even closer. "Can I ask you a personal question, Honey?"

Diamond nodded, swallowing hard.

"Okay."

"Does your mommy or daddy know you... like mares?"

Diamond shook her head, looking away again.

"Hey, what did I just say?" With a hoof, Buttercup directed her chin so they were face-to-face. "You've got nothing to worry about. I've got you!" Diamond smiled again. "I'm a filly-fooler, you're a filly-fooler, I think we both like each other."

"But you're so, well..."

"I'm what?" Buttercup giggled. "Old...?"

Not surprisingly Diamond nodded. Buttercup felt Ironhoof's eyes on her, but looked up and shook her head. He was always so alert... sometimes a little too on edge. "It's okay," she mouthed.

"Age is only a number, sweetie. I could have worn all this make-up to make myself appear younger than I really am to you, but then I wouldn't have been very honest. Honesty is important in a relationship... it's important that you know what I've planned for you today."

Diamond nodded, looking her in the eyes... trustingly.

"What do you have planned for me today, Miss Gamboge?"

Buttercup grinned, pulling herself in even closer, their flanks now touching.

"Lots, and lots of... snuggles!"

Before Diamond knew it, Buttercup had her entire foreleg around her body and was hugging her tightly. If she got uncomfortable again, Ironhoof would probably have to escort her out... but give her a shot in the rump before they got there. They always cried when he did that, and it's not very fun. This was fun. Diamond giggled... it looked like they were going to do this the easy way. Buttercup could relax a little.

* * *

Two tea cups and a more relaxed posture. Buttercup's guest was leaning into her, her mug nearly gone. The older mare stroked Diamond Dream's mane... The tea worked quickly, especially when fresh and if you drank it in big, greedy gulps as the young mare had. The more nervous they were the more they usually wanted the tea to sooth them if they'd had it before. The few that had.

"This is so good!" Diamond exclaimed, finishing off the mug.

Buttercup nodded, working a hoof in under her foreleg and giving her a squeeze.

"Drink as much as you like, sweetie!" she whispered in Diamond's ear. "But first... would you like to try a special recipe? It's brand new and I think you'll like it."

Diamond looked up, nodding, so Buttercup looked at her butler...

"Just one mug this time," she said, caressing Diamond's chest. "I'm not very thirsty right now."

Ironhoof grinned before leaving.

"As you wish."

"Honey, I like you a lot," Buttercup said, as the tea numbed Diamond's nervousness away. "You're so young... and so very, very pretty. I just want to gobble you all up and make you feel so special."

"But I do feel special here, Miss Gamboge. Really!"

"Oh, I think you can call me Buttercup now, silly." Buttercup gently directed her face so they were eye-to-eye. "But you can also call me Mommy. What do you say?"

"Huh? What do I say to what? Calling you-"

Buttercup moved in and gave Diamond a kiss, gentle, and on the lips. It caught her off guard, her cheeks held by both Buttercup's hooves. Buttercup could see her cheeks turning crimson as she pulled back.

At first the young mare froze, her body rigid again. Buttercup maintained eye-contact, knowing how to keep her face soft and accepting.

"It's okay," Buttercup said, removing both hooves, while maintaining eye-contact. "I'm sorry. I probably made you pretty uncomfortable."

She waited a moment. Some said something, others did something... including trying to leave. Whatever happened at this point would have to happen naturally.

As expected, Diamond did something -- she put her head in Buttercup's shoulder and nuzzled in. Buttercup felt a set of moist lips touching her neck and pulled back, exposing herself entirely. She was vulnerable. Trusting... showing trust usually brings more trust. She felt a kiss, followed by another.

"I've never done this with a mare your age before!" Diamond said in-between kisses.

"It's okay, Honey... just express your feelings." Buttercup put a hoof to the young mare's lips. "Make Mommy feel good!"

Forelegs went up and down bodies. Lips locked for brief moments... Ironhoof saw this and stayed in the doorway. He would hang back for the time, happy to see Buttercup enjoying herself.

* * *

Slowly, Buttercup drifted to her back, submitting to the young mare above her, in control... or at least that's what she wanted her to believe.

"You can do anything you want to me, Honey," Buttercup said, looking up through narrow slits. "I just want you to have fun."

Diamond's wings went out straight, yet she found herself hesitating. She was looking at Buttercup's round, chunky body, fully exposed to her. She had never seen a mare with such perky breasts outside of the locker room... they looked like they belonged to somepony her age, not her mommy's age. Her real mommy, to be more specific.

"Don't you like?" Buttercup asked, reaching down to massage her own engorged bosom.

Diamond just nodded... looking as though she was about to get a nose bleed.

"Come down here, sweetie. Lay beside Mommy. It's okay!"

Diamond did as she was told. The two were side-by-side on Buttercup's big, comfy couch.

"I'll bet you're nervous."

Diamond nodded. "A little."

"It's okay to be nervous... you said you've never done this with a mare my age before. Do you mean kiss?"

"Yeah."

"Well, that means you're probably feeling pretty warm by now, huh? You know, that's such a pretty dress." Buttercup examined the shoulder strap. "Is it okay if it comes off? I'd like to see you without it, pretty just as you are."

Diamond quickly shook her head, looking at the floor again.

"Honey." Buttercup again directed her head so they were face-to-face. "Answer me honestly: I'm starting to think you've never been with a pony before. Am I your very first?"

Diamond paused for a moment then slowly nodded, looking up.

"It's okay." The older mare kissed her neck, turning over so her warm body was pressed up against Diamond's. "Just show me what you like to do when you're alone... thinking about pretty mares."

Diamond took her hoof and placed it on Buttercup's tummy, right above her breasts.

"Oh, my..." Buttercup leaned back, submitting as Diamond retracted her hoof. "Wow, that's so very forward."

"I'm sorry!" Diamond exclaimed, in a hushed tone, even though she didn't have to. "Please don't be mad..."

Buttercup put a foreleg around her, the younger mare's eyes wide. She needed comfort.

"What are you apologizing to me for, sweetie? Isn't this what's going to make you happy?"

Diamond didn't answer.

"Well? You can tell me. I won't bite."

She nodded... slowly, looking up. The mares made eye-contact, and Buttercup knew she was being truthful.

"Do it then, silly. Do it. Unless..."

Diamond's head drifted back to Buttercup's side, relaxed.

"Unless what?"

"Unless you're not so sure anymore. It's okay if you aren't... I just want you to be honest with yourself, and with me. Okay?"

The young mare smiled weakly, poking Buttercup in the tummy... she looked into Buttercup's eyes.

As Diamond's hoof moved back down Buttercup tilted her head back. It connected with the spot just above her warm, somewhat moist nethers. Their play started with gentle rubbing, slowly, smooth... going lower.

"That feels nice."

The two made eye-contact as Buttercup adjusted her position, encouraging Diamond's hoof to go a little bit lower. The warmth felt quite pleasant against her hoof... enticing her all the more.

"There you go. That's it!"

Her hoof was now directly in contact with Buttercup's personal bits. The older mare's stickiness quickly turned to pulsing, then winking, something she could feel through her entire foreleg.

It didn't take long for the rubbing to speed up. It wasn't aggressive, but a moist sound filled the air, indicating Diamond was doing something right. Buttercup's forelegs collapsed inward against her body, her hind legs stiffening up. Diamond was such a pretty girl.

* * *

Buttercup was out of breath. She didn't normally make it this far with most of them.

"Good job," the older mare panted, stretching out her neck. "Didn't that feel nice?"

Diamond held up her hoof... sticky. She looked slightly uncomfortable as she stared at it for a moment, but Buttercup knew how best to continue this game. She licked the hoof.

"Eww!" Diamond exclaimed, wriggling on the couch. "Eww! Eww! Eww!"

"It's completely natural, sweetie," Buttercup responded, matter-of-fact. "Mares used to clean themselves a lot like this back when we grazed!" She shook the hoof playfully. "Haven't you ever tried your own?"

Diamond shook her head, eyes wide.

"Here." Buttercup took her by the elbow and directed her hoof to her face. "Go on, give it a teensy taste... you might like it."

"I don't want to," Diamond replied, firmly.

"Hey, silly, please don't knock something until you try it." Buttercup quickly discovered, as Diamond was pushing back, that she was as lot stronger than she expected. "Well! Tell you what... give it just a little taste?"

"No."

"Why not?" Buttercup grinned. "Afraid of germs?"

"A little."

"Oh, there are far worse things in Equestria than germs, sweetie, and besides... you've got nothing to worry about. Mommy's got you."

Diamond stared at her hoof... mouth open, sniffing.

"It tastes as good as it smells." Buttercup let go of her foreleg. "I won't make you do anything you don't want to, but I would like you to try new things. Does that sound fair?"

Sitting for a moment, the two contemplated their situation. As Diamond was blushing and still looking at Buttercup, she suddenly lowered her eyes and licked the hoof. It tasted surprisingly sweet, a texture a lot like syrup. Warm and pleasant.

"Good girl!"

As Diamond started sucking on her hoof, Buttercup looked towards the door and nodded. Ironhoof, who'd made himself scarce so far, came in just as his mistress sat up. Their guest sat up much more quickly, and much more awkwardly... smoothening out her dress in the process.

"Perfect timing!" Buttercup exclaimed. "After our fun little game, I might just end up having a cup myself. But first, for right now, Honey... I just want to know what you think of it."

Ironhoof poured a cup and set it down on the table.

"Enjoy," he said, with a smile.

Diamond looked over at Buttercup, who nodded at the mug.

"Go ahead! Drink it slowly... and savor it! It's a special blend. I hope you like it."

Diamond picked up the mug and, as Buttercup had suggested, drank it slowly. The older mare smiled seeing this. She set the mug down with a smile on her face.

"Buttercup, it's incredible!"

"I'm glad you're happy, sweetie." Buttercup giggled cutely. "Maybe you'll end up having two cups. That would make me quite happy."

Diamond didn't answer, but that didn't matter. In an hour or so... all this would change.
