Late Work Night

"Thank you, dear. I'll have everything ready by next week at the latest." Rarity said as she saw off yet another customer. Once the front door shut, the white unicorn collapsed in exhaustion onto one of the lounge chairs by the entrance. She barely had the strength to look up at the clock on the wall and groaned when she saw it was only 7:40 PM.

"Over an hour left." she moaned as she rubbed her temples. Despite her complaining she knew it was a necessary decision; many of the ponies in town used to go to her competitors as her shop was only open when most ponies were busy at work themselves and thus could never visit her boutique. To remedy this, Rarity kept her boutique open every Thursday until 6:30 PM, a move that brought in numerous new customer and almost doubled her business. The extra hours was certainly helpful for Rarity's finances but it also took a toll on her energy. This week was especially trying as Friday was a holiday, which meant Rarity had to stay open even later than normal since she would be closed for the next three days. At least the orders were lightening up as most ponies had already had their summer orders completed and there wouldn't be any foreseeable rushes until autumn began to set in.

Standing up slowly she stretched her arms above her head and yawned. She was at least free of Sweetie Belle and her friends until tomorrow afternoon as they would be spending tonight at Applejack's farm, but tomorrow night would be her turn to watch the three mischievous fillies. At least a nice Sunday picnic with her friends would help relieve any stress she accumulated over the weekend, as well as her upcoming weekly trip to the spa with Fluttershy.

Looking back up at the clock, Rarity groaned once more as she saw it was now 7:42. "Steady, Rarity. You're almost there." she told herself right before she heard somepony else opening the front door. "Oh, hello there again! Yes, I have your order all set. If you please step this way, we'll make sure everything fits perfectly..."

By the time 9 PM finally showed on the clock Rarity was completely drained. She said goodbye to her last customer of the day and eagerly locked the door and flipped the open sign around once the other pony had left. However, just because her store was finally closed didn't mean that Rarity's work was done for the day. Turning around to view her store, she winced as she saw the turmoil and clutter that was left after a 13 hour workday. Most ponies would consider the state of Carousel Boutique extremely clean for the hours it was open today, but for a pony like Rarity... she would never forgive herself for leaving her pride and joy in such a barbaric state overnight. She sighed wearily as she began reorganizing her stock, being sure everything was presentable for opening time Monday morning, though all of her friends knew that she would still make sure everything was perfectly stacked and folded twice every day until then.

It took almost another hour before Rarity was satisfied with how her store looked. "Much better." she said to herself as she reviewed everything. Not a single thread was out of line or a single item unaligned from everything else, and with a final nod Rarity decided her shop was ready. The only task left on her list was to take out the trash before she could finally relax with a nice long soak in her tub.

There was absolutely no rush for her to empty her trash; the bin was only half full with scraps of paper, cloth, and tape, but as with her store stock, there was no way she could leave any trash in her store for more than a day. Grabbing the garbage bag with her magic, she walked to the back of her store to deposit the trash in the dumpster that was located by the building next door. 'Ew ew ew ewwww...' she thought as she held the bag a fair distance away from herself using her magic. Despite nothing in the bag emitting any odor and the fact that she hadn't physically touched it at all didn't matter to Rarity; trash was trash, and a proper lady avoided trash as much as possible.

Rarity finally reached the dumpster and quickly dumped the bag into the larger, smellier container before quickly stepping back taking in a lungful of fresh air. 'Much better.' she thought as she turned to head back home.

As Rarity reached the back door, she quizzically looked at the slightly ajar door. 'That's funny, I thought I had closed it when I left.' she wondered to herself before shaking any suspicion away. 'I must have forgotten to shut it properly. It has been a long day, after all.'

Rarity walked back inside, making sure to shut the door tightly before she threw the lock with her magic. "Time for your bath, Rarity. You've earned it." she announced to herself, happily skipping upstairs to her bathroom and turning on the tap. As the tub filled with steamy water she poured a generous amount of bubble bath mixture in as well, turning off the tap once the tub was full. Wishing to maintain her elegance even in privacy, she daintily unbuttoned her shirt and slipped it off before unclasping her lacy black bra. Tossing both garments into her laundry hamper, she slid her skirt off next, quickly followed by her black thong. As she bent down to pick up the last two articles of clothing she looked at her figure in the mirror and smiled.

'Perfect, and just in time for the summer.' she thought as she let one of her hands follow the curves of her hips and bottom. Her workout routine had delivered stunning results after she had horridly realized she had put on a little bit of 'winter weight', but now her figure was back to slim and sexy, her ass toned to perfection and her breasts remaining perky despite their size. She was sure to turn more than a few heads once she hit the beach; all the stallions would surely be undressing her with their eyes, and perhaps a few mares as well. Add in that she had a few new swimsuits she wanted to try out and show off, she was sure to be the center of attention for sure.

Taking in one last look at her figure in the mirror, Rarity delicately dipped a foot into the bathtub to test the temperature. It was perfect, so she climbed into the water and let her body relax as the hot water soothed her aching muscles. She slid down and submerged her head for a few moments before breaking back above the surface. She let both of her hands run up and down her torso, enjoying the sensation of her own touch but secretly wishing it was a muscular stallion running his hands over her. She thought back to her last visit to Canterlot; while visiting Princess Celestia, Rarity had spotted a few guards headed to the pool for training and she couldn't help but stare at their toned and muscular bodies. There were two stallions in particular that stood out to her; a pegasus and an earth pony who met her gaze and both smiled back at her.

'Mm, yes, those two would do.' Rarity smiled as she imagined both of the stallions trying to woo her and gain her favor. She imagined both of them being absolutely perfect and impossible to resist, and though it would surely be 'scandalous', she couldn't help but giggle like a schoolfilly as she began fantasizing about bringing both of them back to her bedroom.

"Oh yes..." Rarity murmured as one of her fingers gently passed over her pussy. Thoughts of the two stallions laying on either side of her filled her mind, each of them caressing her body as she made out with one, then the other. Both of them would of course know exactly how to touch her body, giving her the absolute maximum amount of pleasure with the simplest of touches. Then of course they would position themselves as they readied to take her at the same time-

A loud crash from downstairs rudely interrupted Rarity's fantasy, causing her eyes to shoot wide open. 'What in Equestria was that?' she thought, getting up out of the tub and grabbing her bathrobe. She first guessed it must have been her cat Opalescence, but she soon remembered that her cat was over at Fluttershy's for a much needed claw trimming.

"Oh for the love of... Sweetie Belle?" Rarity called out, tying her bathrobe up as she exited the bathroom and her room. Peering out into the dark hallway, she noticed that Sweetie's room remained dark, and from what she could see the first floor remained dark as well.

"Sweetie?" she called out, walking over to the stairs and cautiously making her way back downstairs. "Sweetie Belle, did you forget something? You don't have to be embarrassed about it."

Rarity cocked her head to one side as she listened for any reply but received none. "H-hello?" she called out slightly nervously. Holding her bathrobe tightly against herself, she entered her kitchen and turned on the light. The sudden change of lighting blinded Rarity momentarily, but after a few moments her eyes finally began to adjust to the brightness. Nothing looked out of place here, leaving just the store to check.

With her eyes used to the light once more, the store appeared pitch black, and it wasn't any help that the light switch was located on the far side of the store. Fortunately for her, Rarity had an alternative solution easily within grasp, and with practiced ease lit up her horn, which softly illuminated the room with light.

'Much better.' she thought, slightly embarrassed she didn't do so earlier. Looking around her store, she saw that a mannequin and a small display stand had been knocked over.

"Oh for the love of Celestia..." Rarity grumbled. With her magic already being occupied with lighting her way, Rarity walked over to pick up the knocked over items. Carefully making sure everything was back in place, she stepped back to look over her work.

'There, much better. Now, how in Equestria did those things fall over? It's almost as if somepony knocked them-!'

Without warning, Rarity felt somepony wrap one arm around her neck while a damp cloth was held over her mouth and nose. She tried to cry out in shock but her shriek was muffled, and as she inhaled to try to scream again she felt her head become lightheaded almost immediately. Her eyelids became unusually heavy and she found it harder to struggle against her captor, and as her breathing became more ragged she soon lost all power in her limbs. Her arms fell to her sides and her legs gave out just as her horn began to dim, plunging the room back into darkness. There was little hope of her fighting back physically, and using magic to defend herself was also out of the question as attack spells were extremely unsuited for her. It was only when she was just about to lose consciousness did she feel the arm around her neck slacken, but by then it was too late. The chloroform had done its work and Rarity crumpled to the floor, passed out cold and at the complete mercy of her attacker.

Making sure his victim was out cold, Thunderlane carefully released the cloth from Rarity's face and cast it aside. He stepped back to look at his prize, drinking in the beauty of the unconscious mare on the floor in front of him. Her bathrobe had slipped open slightly during her brief attempt to get free, causing it to slip off one of her shoulders and reveal one of her tits. Her firmly toned ass was also somewhat exposed due to the position she fell into on the floor, her lower lips just barely peeking out from underneath her tail.

"Nice, very nice." he said as he removed his ski mask. He picked up Rarity and carried her back into the kitchen, depositing her body on the table before he cracked his knuckles in anticipation before starting to get everything set up.

"Alright, let's get ready for some fun." he said as he picked up a coil of rope.

'Ooh, my head... what happened?' Rarity thought as she finally began to regain consciousness. Her head had started mildly throbbing at the beginning, but as she regained awareness the throbbing became painful. It took her a few moments to realize that she couldn't raise either of her hands up to her head to help dissipate the pain... actually, she couldn't move her hands at all. Nor could she move her legs.

Rarity tried to open her eyes but quickly found herself blinded as a light was shining right in her face. She slammed her eyelids shut and winced, the move only making her headache worse. She turned her head slightly away from the source of light and cracked her eyes back open, hoping her eyes readjusted to the light quickly. While she waited she tried to figure out what the light could be and what was going on.

After about two minutes her eyes adjusted enough to where she could finally open them fully and look around. She looked back at the light source and quickly realized it was the light fixture on her kitchen ceiling. Just realizing that she must be lying on her back, perhaps on the floor, but she still couldn't figure out why she couldn't move. Turning her head to the side once more, she saw that she was about level with her kitchen counter top, meaning she must be on the table.

'What in Celestia's name is going on?!' she panicked, wriggling slightly and trying to sit up. Her attempts were futile but she was able to finally figure out that she was tied down and unable to move. Her arms were secured behind her back while her knees were positioned at the edge of the table, both her lower legs securely tied to two table legs. She still had her soft bathrobe on, but the cold air that kissed her crotch made her aware of just how exposed she was thanks to her legs being unwillingly spread so wide. An additional length of rope held her waist down to the table as well, as did a rope around her neck. Fortunately for her, the one around her neck was loose enough for her to breath and move ever so slightly; there was just no room for her to lift her head up more than an inch or so.

'Oh Tartarus, what is this?!' she panicked. "Mmmph!" she tried calling for help, but she finally realized that she had also been gagged; something frilly had been stuffed into her mouth and her lips had been sealed shut with duct tape. "Hmmp! Hmmp!" she tried again, but the gag muffled her too well. Though it's not like it would have mattered; the two stores on either side of her building had closed up for the day many hours ago. However, her attempt at calling for help did finally attract the attention of one pony...

"Oh good, you're finally awake." somepony said off to one side.

Whipping her face towards the voice, she glared in both fear and anger as she saw a gray pegasus stallion standing in the kitchen entryway. Her face reddened slightly as she saw that he was naked and his cock was already hard, one of his hands slowly stroking himself. She tried focusing her magic on something- anything- to throw at him but found that she couldn't summon any spells for some reason. All she could do was continue to watch him.

"Don't look at me like that. You'll enjoy some of the things I have in mind." he said, walking towards her.

As he came into the light Rarity realized who he was. She tried to demand to know what was going on and why he had tied her up,, but all that came out of her mouth as a series of mumbles and grunts. She lost sight of him as he walked to the end of the table where her legs had been tied down, and as she tried to close her legs she heard him chuckle in amusement.

"Don't bother, by tomorrow morning I'll know your body better than you do." he said. To add insult to injury, he flicked the front flaps of her bathrobe upwards, causing the robe to reveal more of her legs and almost her entire crotch. She cried in protest but her please fell on deaf ears, not that anypony could have understood her anyway.

Thunderlane then walked over and stood next to Rarity's body. "I always love unwrapping presents." he said as he reached down for the simple bowtie knot that held her robe closed. Making sure the white unicorn was watching what he was doing, he slowly pulled on one of the belt ends up until the knot came undone. He then simply let the belt fall from his hands and smirked as a look of dread crossed Rarity's face before letting his hand slide underneath her robe.

Rarity choked back a sob as she felt his rough hand caressing her stomach. The way he touched her was so intimate, so loving- so wrong! His hand made small circular motions, slowly increasing in size and thus spreading the front of her robe open more and more. Soon the top half of her robe was ajar, her stomach almost fully exposed while her breasts were still half hidden, the very edges of her areolas just peeking out and exposed to her tormentor. The exposure didn't escape Thunderlane's attention, and he quickly moved his hands up to her tits, grabbing them through the soft material of her only covering.

"Damn, your tits are so soft." Thunderlane commented as he squeezed her chest. Rarity could only let out a few more muffled sobs as he continued molesting her, letting her concealment fall off to the side as he then moved to grabbing her breasts directly. His eyes widened in wonder as he gazed down on her figure, admiring how tempting and inviting her twin mounds looked. He bent forward while licking his lips, and to Rarity's horror he stuck out his tongue and began licking at her left nipple.

"Mnn! Mnn! Mnngh!" she screamed into her gag, but it was futile. Soon Thunderlane was servicing both of her breasts, alternating between licking, sucking, and nipping at both of her exposed nipples. He paid no attention whatsoever to the tears that were falling down Rarity's face, nor her continued struggles against her bindings. All he cared about was getting his fill of her body, and he had a ravenous appetite to fill.

"Oh yeah, such a gorgeous body." he commented. He gave one last hard nip at both of her nipples before standing back up, slapping both of her sore breasts before walking over to the kitchen counter.

Rarity sobbed and tried her best to get her breathing back under control, praying to every being she could think of that Thunderlane would be done his torment. However, her hopes were dashed as she saw him approach her once more, but this time he had a lit candle in his hand. As he extended his arm out over her body she tried begging for him to stop, but when she saw his wrist beginning to turn she quickly tried to prepare herself for what was to come.

"Hnnngh! Mmmn! Nngh!" she creamed through her gag as the first drizzle of hot, molten wax hit her upper stomach. The pain she felt was worse than the time she had accidentally burned her finger on a hot pan, but before she could even think of begging for mercy she screamed out once more as Thunderlane let another drizzle of wax fall between her breasts. She writhed in pain and tried her best to avoid any more of the hot wax, but of course her restraints kept her in place and immobile. Two more globs of hot liquid fell onto the very edge of one of her breasts, and with a snicker Thunderlane lowered the candle down so it was hovering barely two inches above her right nipple.

"I think you know where the next load is going." he teased her. "If you don't want me to, beg for me to not to."

"Mnn! Mnn! Hmm Mnn!" Rarity pleaded through teary eyes, but of course Thunderlane pretended to have no idea what she was saying.

"Huh? What's that? Oh well, I gave you a chance." he smirked, tipping the candle over and letting all the accumulated liquid wax to fall.

Rarity's eyes shot wide open as the searing hot wax splashed down and covered almost half her breast. Her entire nipple was encased in the rapidly hardening wax, with several lines of still-liquid wax running down the side of her breast and to her back. Her mouth was as wide as it could go but she couldn't manage to scream; the pain was just too much. With her mouth being taped shut she could only breathe through her nose, but now she felt as if she couldn't take in enough air and was suffocating. That, coupled with the pain from the wax, almost caused her to completely black out, but Thunderlane wasn't about to let that happen.

"Hey, don't do that!" Thunderlane shouted, grabbing her other breast and twisting her nipple hard. The new pain brought Rarity back up and caused her to protest through her gag, begging to be released, but of course Thunderlane continued to ignore her muffled pleas. Instead, he patiently waited until the newest application of wax had completely cooled and hardened before he brought the candle over to her left mound. Rarity's breathing began to increase as she tried to find some way to escape the impending pain, but Thunderlane wasn't about to change his mind now.

Waiting until there was as much liquid wax available as before, Thunderlane tipped the candle over without any warning, his aim dead on once more. Just like before the wax covered her entire nipple and the majority of her breast, though the heat of the wax was amplified by the lingering pain left from Thunderlane twisting her nipple just moments ago. It was all too much for her to handle, and with another silent scream Rarity's eyes rolled backwards just as she passed out from the overwhelming pain.

Seeing that his victim was no longer responsive, Thunderlane blew out the candle and tossed it into the sink. He lightly slapped Rarity's face to see if she was faking but saw that she was indeed out cold. "Oh well." he muttered to himself. Leaving her tied to the table, he began picking the hardened wax off of her body and tossing the wax onto the floor in preparation of what he had planned next...
