Chapter Three: I want to make you mine. Again.

I blinked my eyes clear as the sun sat in the distance. That alone shocked me, I had not been expecting to sleep until nightfall. Nevertheless, I would not move, not yet anyway. There were just too many feelings flooding through my body.

The amazing feeling of the sun’s last rays shining down upon me.

The cooling feelings of the wind’s gentle caress as it ran over my coat.

The loving feeling of the mare holding me in her hooves. It was like being wrapped in a wonderful blanket of love.

And finally, the rather painful pulsing coming from my pussy every time I so much as moved my hind legs.

I tensed up when the wind hit me in just the wrong spot, hoping that my actions didn’t wake up Blue Moon.

They did.

“Mmhmmm, lets sleep like this every day,” Blue said as she pressed her head against my chest.

I almost laughed at that, almost. However, the more I thought about it, even with everything, the more I liked the idea, “You know, I could get behind that idea.”

She chuckled at me, “How do you feel?”

“Fine,” I lied.

“Uh-huh. So this doesn’t hurt at all?” Blue ran a hoof right between my legs.

“N-no, not at all,” I hissed.

She laughed again, “Well good, because we gotta get up and head to the palace.”

“Why’s that?”

“Because Shield promised me to tell me everything about her date and how well or bad it went,” Blue chuckled.

“Wait, Shield went out on a date?”

“Yes.”

“Like a… date-date?”

“Yes.”

“Shield.”

“Yes.”

“Are we talking about the same pony?”

“Night, my cousin, Moon Shield, went out on a date, yes. I have to say I’m really curious. She refused to tell me anything; I don’t even know if it is a mare or a stallion,” Blue hummed.

“Let's go find out!” I shouted and went to stand up.

Oh dear Luna was that a mistake. I had to bite my lip to prevent from screaming out in pain.

“We can rest here for a little while longer,” Blue stated with humor in her voice.

“No, I’m… I’m good,” I chuckled and flapped my wings, “See? Doesn’t even hurt.”

“I bet,” Blue laughed and did likewise.

I placed a hoof on her shoulder before we left, “Blue, I just wanted to say…”

“Yes?” She asked.

“I love you. And I wouldn’t change a single thing about what we did.”

She smiled at me, it was that same smile that sent my stomach fluttering with desire for her. That one smile was more valuable than all the treasure in Canterlot. If I saw it every day of my life, it’d be a life well lived, “I love you, too, and neither would I.”

At that, she flew over and kissed me on the lips. Her tongue licking mine clean from where I bit down a little too hard to silence myself, “Now, come, let’s go see how her date went.”

“Sounds like a plan,” I replied as she took off, me right behind. It was weird, I still hurt, but the pain was already fading.

We flew together, her taking the lead and me staying right behind her. I admit, I couldn’t help but look at her flank as we flew through the air. My eyes drawn to her smooth marehood that was all but winking with me as she swayed her tail back and forth.

She was playing with me, I knew it and she knew it, and I loved it. So much so that when she asked the obvious question it took me by surprise.

“So who do you think it is?”

“What?” I asked, my head taking a second to realize she had even spoke.

Blue laughed and decreased her speed to fly next to me, “I asked who you think she’s going out with?”

“Oh… how would I know?”

“Oh, come on, you’re telling me you haven’t already started to analyze this mystery?”

“What can I say? My mind has been on… other things,” I replied with a wink.

“Flattering, but really?”

I paused and thought about it as we made our final approach to the palace, “Honestly, I never even considered that she’d actually date anypony, or that anypony would actually have the nerve to ask her out.”

“Why? Do you think she is that bad?” Blue asked me with mocked offence.

“She’s so…”

“So?”

“Intimidating,” I said under my breath.

“Night! She’s never been anything but nice to you.”

“Yeah, but I mean, you know how she is.”

“No, how is she?”

“You’re bucking with me, aren’t you?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Blue grinned as she landed in the courtyard, “How’d you tell?”

I landed next to her, surprised that—while it did still hurt—the pain was a lot less than I expected it to be, “Because, I’ve had some experience with you bucking me, and the bite marks to prove it.”

There was an audible gasp as at that moment two ponies came out of the castle and paused as they looked at us in shock at what was just said. Blue blushed at that, I expected to do the same, but honestly, it was a mark of pride in my book, “But instead of guessing, let's go find out.”

“Sure,” Blue said with a small smile.

I suppose I didn’t care about their attention, because, well, I never have before. The fact I had said something shocking didn’t really matter to me. But it was something I’d have to consider in depth later, as somepony wouldn’t leave well enough alone.

“But if you had to take three guesses, who would it be?” Blue asked.

“I don’t have a clue. If I had to guess, I’d say it wasn’t someone in the palace, though.”

“Why’s that?”

“Well, I don’t think she’d date someone lower ranking, and the other Captains are largely taken, but…”

“Oh, that mind going again?”

“But I kinda hope she is, um,” my face was going red at the thought.

“Who, who?”

“Maybe her and… Red Wave?”

“Red Wave?” Blue look taken aback by that, “The mare that ran the obstacle course with us?”

“Yeah, her, the black thestral with the fiery red mane and bright crimson eyes,” I said with a smile.

“Why her?” Blue asked.

“Well, you might have missed it, but when you three were running, she kept looking over at Moon Shield during the run. Maybe she… maybe she asked her out?”

“I… hu…”

“What?” I asked

“Well, now that you say it… it does kinda fit. I just always thought she’d date somepony more commanding, like a prince or something.”

“Just because Captain Armor ended up marrying a princess doesn't mean all of them will.”

“Yeah, I know, but I mean someone that would be comfortable enough to be themselves around her. I mean, you don’t become Captain of Strategic Planning by not being forceful.”

“What happened to ‘not knowing what I meant’?” I asked with a chuckle as we rounded the bend.

“I was just bucking with you.”

“For the third time today,” I replied with a wink that earned me a playful cuff on the shoulder.

She said the next words as we approached Moon Shield’s door and knocked, “And not the last time either.”

“What can I say? I’m irresistible, and so are you, my love,” I chuckled.

What I heard from that room, however, made me stop dead in my tracks.

“Is that what I think it is?” Blue asked me with wide eyes and I just nodded.

With a daring that would have made the fictional heroine Daring Do proud, Blue opened the door. My brain scuffed at the thought of going into a Captain’s office without permission, but before I could even ask what she was doing, the thought left me at what we saw inside.

I had already seen the small, provisorium bed near the wall in Shield’s office before, she kept for the late nights at the office, but I had never seen it occupied. Moon Shield stared in shock at us, while Red Wave just chuckled, her muzzle deep between Shield’s legs.

Moon Shield's eyes popped open as she heard the door swing wide. With speed that was a little disconcerting, she almost jumped to her hooves, Red Wave left to wonder what the hay had just happened, “What are you two doing here?!”

“I-I, um,” I stammered, my jaw still on the floor.

“We wanted to figure out who your date was, or in this case; is,” Blue Moon chuckled while I still tried to form full words.

I could see the rage building up in Moon Shield. Any second she was about to go off on us, about to lecture us on not entering a Captain’s office without permission, about how we were both in so much shi—

She laughed.

It felt like there was a speeding train in my mind that just slammed at fifty miles into a mountain, “What?” the world dribbled from my mouth.

She smiled at me, “It’s not like Red Wave and I nearly crashed into a cloud two mares were bucking on just hours ago.”

Blue Moon grinned as she shut the door behind us, “I thought I saw you.”

“I definitely saw you two,” Shield said with a laugh.

“That’d be two of us,” Red Wave added with a laugh as she stood up next to Shield.

“Busted,” I blushed.

“I think your moans are quite adorable, by the way. But biting there, doesn’t that hurt?” Red Wave asked.

“Umm... yeah, a little,” I have no idea how the conversation turned like this, but now that it had, we were both kind of screwed.

“Hey, don’t back out from that!” Shield growled at Red Wave, “As soon as this turns out well, I expect you to make me yours as well!”

Red blushed at that. I had to admit, she was kind of cute when she did. Given, I was still one-hundred percent devoted to Blue Moon, but there’s no harm in looking.

“So, tell me, who asked out who?” Blue asked.

“I asked her, actually,” Shield replied, making me gasp in shock.

“Really? Isn’t that… fraternization or something?”

“Not technically. Red is in the Night Guard and falls under Captain Eventide. Now, if I dated you, that’d be fraternization.”

Blue wrapped a wing around me, “Well, you can’t. She’s mine.”

“And I’m glad that she is, considering how nervous and wrecked she was the day before the course,” Shield laughed.

“You do know half the ponies on the Night Guard are totally jealous of you, right, Blue?” Red Wave asked with a grin.

I sunk into her wing, unused to, and not enjoying being talked about like this.

“Yep, totally. Still hard to believe Night Watch asked me out,” Blue said with a smile, “I felt like I just won the lottery or something.”

“I think her face is going to turn pink if we keep this up, girls,” Shield said with a smile as she grinned at me.

“Okay, then let me make the decision,” I said with a small smile, “So, that’s the plan. Moon Shield, Red Wave, continue whatever you were doing. Blue Moon? You come home with me, right now.”

Shield, Red, and Blue all jerked their heads back in surprise, “Did… did little Night just give out orders?” Red asked in faux shock.

“I think she did,” Blue said, surprised.

“Well, you heard her, girls. Don’t want to disobey your future Captain, now do you?” Shield said with a smile before turning her head to Red, “Besides, you left a task unfinished.”

As Red whispered something to Shield that got her even more excited, I grinned as I saw it. The look of joy on both of their faces.

It was odd. Now that I saw it on Shield’s muzzle, I couldn’t unsee it. It overlayed and replaced the view of my Captain I used to have. I smiled as I pictured the look of joy she had with Red’s muzzle buried between her legs, and the look of simply being the mare that had the same bodily desires I had.

Part of me knew I might be in trouble, that ‘that’ image might get in the way at the wrong time during training or something. I wrote that off as future me’s problem. For now, I simply grinned as Blue led us out of the palace.

“Totally worth it,” Blue said with a grin..

“What? Walking in and seeing your cousin being eaten out?” Even I knew better than to spread the dirty laundry of who her cousin was out loud.

“Yep,” Blue replied.

“Get you back in the mood?” I asked.

“Yep.”

“Me, too,” I smiled, “You know, my place is a little closer than yours.”

She smiled that damn smile again, “You had me at ‘Me, too’. Besides, after fucking on the bathroom floor, I’m halfway tempted to take you right here and now.”

“Well, I would say yes, but this is the patrol route of some guards,” I chuckled.

“I wouldn’t care right now,” she whispered huskily with a flick of her tail.

I started to move faster, my walk becoming a trot, and then a run.

“You’re no fun!” she pouted.

“I’m just hurrying before I say yes,” I replied with a laugh.

“So, that’s a yes?” she grinned and jumped forward, pulling me into her wings.

I giggled and laughed as she pulled me under her, her body pressed upon mine. I knew we were in trouble, as we weren’t even out of the place yet. However, right that second, I didn’t care, “Blue, we, I—”

“You what?” Blue said with a sultry smile as she looked down upon me. I lost myself in those crimson eyes, those soft perky lips, those pearly white fangs that kissed me more intimately than any other pony could ever hope to know.

I placed my hooves up on either side of her muzzle and stared directly into her eyes. Once more, I silently cursed the armor I wore, as it prevented me from knowing her touch again, “Take me.”

“As you wish,” Blue stated as we locked lips again.

“Eh em,” A loud, princess-like echo scared the hell out of both of us. Neither of us had to look to know who it was, we all knew that voice better than our own. Blue Moon shot up off me and jumped to attention. I scrambled to my hooves and did likewise. My eyes darting from the night-black alicorn to the small spot I had left upon the floor.

“Princess Luna, I—,” Blue tried to explain.

“You were simply… engaged in a training activity that got out of hoof, is that correct?” Luna asked.

“Uhh… your highness.. we.. .I,” I stammered, not able to bring myself to lie to her.

“Just say yes, I’m trying to help you,” Luna sighed, “You have exactly twenty seconds before the guards pass this hallway.”

“Yes, your highness,” Blue said.

“Yes, princess,” I managed.

“Then there is no harm,” Luna said with a smile and a wink, “However, I highly encourage you to find another area to engage in such training. After all, no pony wants such training interrupted when it begins.”

“Of course, your highness,” Blue quickly bowed before turning.

I bowed as well and shot a worried glare at the rather wet spot on the floor, as Princess Luna winked, yes, winked at me and the spot was gone in a flash of magic.

We both blinked our eyes clear after after her teleport, “Did… did that just happen?” I asked.

“What, did princess Luna catch us almost bucking on the floor of the hallway?”

“Too bad she wasn’t a minute later.”

“Night!” Blue said with a shocked look on her face.

“I’d have had you moaning out her name,” I replied with a grin as I sauntered out of the palace.

“Wait, but, I, we, can…”

Hearing her stammer like I normally do just caused me to smile as I spread my wings and turned my head back to her, “My house?” I asked.

“Oh, we’ll see who’s going to be moaning soon enough.”

“Challenge accepted,” I grinned, “But you’ll never beat me,” at those words, I shot upwards as fast as a single, hard beat of my wings could take me. I heard her yell something, and follow quickly behind, but she had no hope of catching me, not when I didn’t want to be caught anyway.

As she’s learning, what I lack in strength, I make up for in speed. That being said, it wasn’t like I wanted to lose her or anything. So I played with her, never quite giving her the opportunity to catch up to me, but not losing her in the dust either.

“Night, if you keep that up I’m going to suck you dry of all your juices till you beg me to stop!” she screamed suddenly loud enough for me to hear.

That only caused me to smile as I veered upwards at a ninety degree angle. It was a dumb move, but only if I still wanted to lose her. Shooting several hooves to the left, I dropped like a rock strength down, knowing she’d easily overtake such a maneuver.

She did, right into my hooves.

I caught her, my hooves wrapped around her barrel and spinning three full rotations to break off her momentum. Before she could so much as catch her breath, my lips caught hers in a kiss as we spun in the air, the moon shining brightly in the night sky.

When I pulled back, there was a look of complete and utter bewilderment on her muzzle.

“Welcome to my home,” I said as our foreheads rested upon each other.

She looked at me in confusion until she looked down at the apartments we were floating over.

“You just wanted to make sure we couldn’t start again—”

“—until we got to a place we wouldn’t be stopped,” I finished with a smile, “Not that I mind putting on a show, well, not with you as my dance partner, anyway.”

She giggled and pulled me closer to her. I could feel the heat coming from her body, the sweat on her coat, and the rapid beating of her heart, “Night Watch, my Night Watch. You never cease to impress me. Tell me, do you see the new you?”

“I-I don’t—”

She kissed me on the top of the nose as we slowly made our way down together, “You don’t, do you?”

I still had no idea what she was talking about.

She grinned at me, “Picture this little, cute, self-conscious mare that would trip and stumble everywhere she went. One too shy to make friends, to talk to others. One with all this potential locked up in her cute little head. That was you.”

“That is me, you mean,” I said, my head glancing down and to the right.

She placed a hoof on the side of my muzzle and forced me to look up at her again. “Is it? Because the mare I see in front of me almost got busted having sex by Princess Luna herself. The mare in front of me caught her Captain being eaten out, and then, had the gall to give her an order. The mare in front of me knows how to tease, how to please her lover. And believe me when I say, I’m more than pleased.”

“I… um…”

“Are those two mares the same?”

“That wasn’t,” I mumbled as I looked down again.

“Night Watch,” her words were like a seductive whisper into my very being, they penetrated every fiber, every cell of my body.

“No,” I replied with a little more confidence than I felt, “I guess they’re not.”

“You’re going to be a great commander, they will write stories of the victories you will plan, the victories you will win.”

“You mean won,” I corrected her.

“Oh?”

“After all, I have you, that’s the greatest victory I’ll ever achieve.”

“I’m touched more than I can say,” Blue softly whispered as she leaned down and kissed me. Our lips met in the night sky, the pressure, the feel, the taste, all of it, it all sent shivers down my spine. Like small little goosebumps over my fur.

When our hooves touched down on the roof of my apartment it came as a surprise to me. Part of me was surprised that I didn’t trip and fall right then and there. It would have been very characteristic of me.

I felt like an entirely different pony.

I know I’m not, I’m that same pony I was, obviously, and yet...

“I think you did it to me,” I said with a smile.

“Who, me?” she asked playfully.

“Blue Moon, it was you, wasn’t it? You changed me into someone better. You little minx, you made me into a better pony without me even realizing what you were doing.”

She ran her muzzle across my own, “You still don’t understand. I didn’t change anything. I just brought out who you really are, who you were always destined to be.”

I lowered my head and glanced up into her eyes. She was smiling at me, causing me to smile as well, “Come with me.”

She did, I lead the way to the edge of the roof and jumped down onto the porch. Fishing the key out of my armor, I unlocked the door and held it open for her.

She walked in and looked around. I have to admit, I was a little self conscious about her seeing my place, it wasn’t exactly the cleanest I’d have liked it to be. The carpet needed vacuuming and more than one place needed a good scrub down. I wouldn’t go as far as to call it dirty, just lived in.

If she noticed, she paid it no mind. I could see her looking to the right and left, just taking in the area, “I know it’s small—”

“It’s cozy,” she interrupted with a grin.

“Cozy,” I replied with a smile of my own, “I like that word. It’s a two bedroom, one bath. You can see the kitchen and living room, the main bedroom is down the hall, that’s where we’re going.”

“Oh, you going to order me to bed now?”

“Nope,” I replied, not taking that bait, “Rather, I’m just going to extend you the invitation to join me. However I could really used another set of hooves to get this armor off.”

“Well,” Blue replied with a raised eyebrow, “With an offer like that, how could I say no?”

For the first time in my life I felt self-assured. With confidence, I strolled down the hallway, not even looking to see if the love of my life was right behind me or not. I simply knew she was, it was like knowing my fangs were sharp, I just did.

And that confidence came at a cost. With my head held high, I walked right into the doorframe to my bedroom. Muzzle first.

“Oww! Who put that there?”

“The contractors, I think,” Blue said with a laugh as she rushed to my side.

“Luna, I just can’t catch a break,” I said as a small amount of blood started to leak from my nose.

Blue led me to the bed and sat me down on the edge. The smile on her face told the story as clear as day. She thought the whole thing was rather humorous. I hung my head low only for her to start licking my muzzle clean, serving the dual purpose of cleaning me up while giving her a nice treat, “Night, don’t worry about it.”

Once the bleeding stopped, Blue started to remove my armor piece by piece. I should have enjoyed it, but I just couldn’t, “Why am I still like that?” I asked.

“Like what?” she replied, removing my vambraces.

“I felt so cool, so confident, and still I walk muzzle-first into a door like a filly that can’t put one hoof in front of the other. I thought I had changed…”

“You have changed, you believe in yourself now, you’re starting to see the mare the rest of us can. That’s something to be proud of.”

“But… the door?” I asked with a cocked eyebrow.

She laughed at me, something that caused me to frown, “Who gives a shit about the door?”

“What?”

“Night Watch, you have the speed that would see you in the Wonderbolts, a tactical mind recognized by everyone around you and even rewarded by Princess Luna herself, and you’re the cutest mare I’ve ever known in my entire life. So bucking what if you’re clumsy? I’d say you have every right to have one little flaw given all your strengths.”

“But… I thought—”

“Night Watch, you will lead armies into battle, you will advise the princesses themselves on the correct tactical application of forces. You will go down in legends for what you will do. Do you think, do you honestly believe that in a hundred years anyone will care that General Night Watch tripped going up the stairs to receive her hundredth medal for bravery and valor?”

“You know, sometimes exactly what I need to hear isn’t exactly what I want to hear.”

She removed the last piece of armor from my back and then quickly stripped out of her own uniform, “Well, tough. I consider it my duty to bonk you in the head when you’re being dumb,” As if to emphasis that point, she playfully hit me over the head.

“Ouch,” I said in a deadpan voice.

She grinned at that and got in bed behind me. I laid down on my back, feeling her hooves wrap around me and pull me closer to her. It was so strange to be cuddled by a younger pony that was so much bigger than me. And yet, I enjoyed every second of it.

“Can I tell you my dream?” Blue asked as she started to lightly nibble on my ear.

“You can tell me anything, Blue Moon. You know that.”

“I know. My dream, my dream is to watch how far you will go. To be witness to the rise of the great Night Watch. Come what may, that’s all I want.”

“I think you’ll do more than watch.”

“Night, we can’t know the future,” her voice was almost mournful.

“No,” I agreed, “But if you plan for every eventuality, nothing will take you by surprise,” I rolled on my side, facing her now.

“Save for a door frame?” she asked with a grin.

I chuckled a bit and buried my forehead into her coat, “Well, maybe that. But as long as we’re never attacked by an army of door frames, I think we’ll be alright on that front.”

She squeeze me tighter to her.

“My point, Blue, is that I have planned for a million different futures, and, in them all, you’re by my side.”

“Night, I—”

“I know this, I know this like I know the proper formation to block a pegasus charge in it’s tracks. There simply doesn’t exist a future that we’re not together.”

“You can’t know that,” she replied, shaking her head.

“I—,” I paused, it was the romantic thing to say, but she was right, “You’re right, I lied. There are a few, but I can tell you this, there’s never been a future that I stop wanting to be with you.”

“You’d love me forever?” She asked.

“I think… I think relationships only stop when one or both parties stop trying. I know they’re hard, I’ve seen more than I care to count form and break up in front of me. Ponies saying they’re in love, professing their hearts to one another, then the honeymoon stage wears off and they realize it’s a challenge, that they have to work at it. Then that work starts to cloud why they got together in the first place, and then somepony gives up and it ends.”

“You’ve seen all that?” she asked.

“I may not be social, that doesn’t mean I don’t pay attention,” I replied.

“Save for door frames.”

“Yes, save for those,” I chuckled. I had a bad feeling that’d become a running joke between us, so it was best to just get used to laughing about it now, “But I won’t give up, will you do the same?” I asked.

She leaned down and kissed me on top of my head, “Night Watch. I promise you that as long as life floods through these veins, I’ll always love you, and I’ll always come back to you. For as long as you want me to.”

There were a lot of caveats to that statement, but I didn’t care, “I’ll take it,” I nuzzled into her coat again, breathing in her scent, her smell. It was the greatest thing ever to simply be held by her.

I could feel her, literally feel her. I could feel her heart beating in her chest, every rise and fall of her stomach, and even her tummy growl a little as she held me, “Hungry?” I asked.

“Actually, I need to use the restroom,” she said with reluctance in her voice.

Part of me didn’t want her to, even with all the negatives that would bring, keeping this moment going was priceless to me. In the end I had no choice but to relent, “It’s down the hall to the right.”

“I… I kinda, don’t want to let you go.”

“You going to pick me up and carry me to the bathroom with you?” I asked sarcastically.

“Don’t tempt me,” she replied with a grin and a kiss to my forehead.

“Well, hurry back, I’ll get cold without you.”

“You know what? Buck it,” she giggled and dragged me along with her.

“Hey, it was a joke!” I giggled playfully.

“And I wasn’t joking,” came the snort.

When she practically lifted me up in one hoof and held me over her shoulder, part of me knew I should probably be offended to be treated like a foal by my marefriend, but I just couldn’t stop giggling and laughing about it.

I know had I tried, I could have escaped her grasp, I just didn’t try because I didn’t want to. We were having way too much fun together and I didn’t want it to end, even if it did end up in a bathroom. Hell, after eating each other out in a public restroom, doing something in mine seemed almost tame in comparison.

Blue hobbled down the hallway with me wiggling just enough to give the illusion I didn’t want to do it. She laughed out loud as I screamed out in a playful manner, “Blue, stop!”

“Nope, not going to stop!”

“Blue!”

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out!”

“Moon!” I laughed.

“Night, you are coming with me, if you want or not, and now hold still before I break the flood right here because I have to keep you from struggling too much!” Blue complained playfully.

I stopped moving and grunted with a smile upon my face.

“Good girl,” Blue laughed as she turned the corner into the bathroom. I reached for the light and turned it on for her as we walked through together—or more preciously—she carried me through with her.

It was hilarious, really. She placed me down into my small bathtub and even closed the curtain around it.

“Hey, what the hay?” I complained with a laugh.

“Just because you’re my marefriend and bucking me doesn’t mean you can watch everything,” came the dry reply.

I frowned at that, not so much because I wanted to, but because she still felt like she had to hide something from me. That being said, my mind was already going a mile a minute at ways to get her back. With a smile, I looked up and saw the detachable shower head. Reaching up to pull it off the wall, I said, “You know you don’t have to hide anything from me.”

“I know, but do we really want to cross that barrier already?”

“Well, I did drink from your pussy,” I chuckled.

“Yeah, but…”

I could hear the tone in her voice becoming a little less unsure. That in turn made me doubt my plan.

Although, when I heard the unmistakable sounds of liquid hitting the bowl, I threw caution into the wind, “Hey, Blue?”

“Yeah?”

“Think fast!” At once I pulled the curtain back and turned on the water, the shower head pointed right at her.

“Night!” Blue shouted as she was doused with water while sitting on the toilet.

From day one of my real training, they beat into our heads the first rule of battle: no battle plan survives contact with the enemy. I know this like I know the back of my hoof, I know this because they’d never let me not know it. Part of me is surprised that they don’t make us tattoo it on our flanks.

Yet, at that moment, I didn’t even consider it. My intent had just been to embarrass her, to play with Blue while she was at her most vulnerable. I assumed I’d have the upper hoof.

How wrong I was. If Moon Shield could have seen what happened next, my flank would be doing laps for the next three months.

Blue Moon didn’t shriek—well, she shrieked but she didn’t pull away, rather she jumped at me instead. My epic ambush had been effectively countered and turned into a defensive maneuver in the blink of an eye. Before I was even aware of it, the halfway soaked mare had pounced on top of me and used her greater strength to rip the shower head away from me.

My soaking came next. I shrieked in surprised as I was doused in cold water from head to chest. Her own body covered my lower half, so I knew she got some too, but there was no doubt about it, I had won the battle, only to lose the war.

“I surrender, I surrender!” I shouted in a laugh.

“Sorry, I don’t take prisoners,” she laughed keeping up the water stream.

“Please, mercy!”

“Mercy, huh?” at that she paused, turning the shower head away from me, “I don’t know, what do I get out of it?”

“Everything you want!” I shouted.

“Everythiiiing?” she drew the word into length, giggling madly.

“Everything!”

“There’s only one problem with that,” Blue stated as she reached behind her and turned the water off, “I already have everything I want. After all, I have you.”

I sat up and kissed her right than and there. It mattered not that I was soaking wet, cold, and had just been defeated in an epic maneuver. Those words were the most romantic thing I had ever heard in my entire life.

Our lips met, our tongues quickly reaching out for one another. I released, letting her’s find it’s way into my mouth. After all, she had won the battle, it was only right that she should get the spoils of war.

The appendage felt amazing, knowing her, a part of her anyway was inside of me. I played with it, treating it like a long lost pet that finally found it’s way home. When she pulled back there was a small string of saliva connecting her mouth to mine, and an uncharacteristic blush on her face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I kinda… um…”

I felt it then, there was a warm spot growing on my stomach. With a laugh, I just said, “Just turn the water back on. After all, as Princess Luna said, no one likes their training sessions interrupted.”

“I guess we broke more than one barrier tonight?” she asked as she turned the water back on, adjusting the temperature this time to clean us both off.

I couldn’t exactly be mad, it was a result of my actions anyway. You can’t do what I did to someone actively peeing and then expect everything to work on in the end. Besides, in truth it felt like nothing more than spilling warm tea on myself.

“You could say that,” I replied pulling her muzzle to mine for another kiss, “And before you say anything, I don’t care.”

“You really don’t, do you?”

“Not even a little,” I said with a smile as the showerhead was directed over the both of us. This time the water was a lot warmer, more relaxing than shocking. I moaned softly as I felt it run over my fur and drip down my coat.

“Seems that you like warm fluids,” Blue mocked me.

“Mhhh,” I murmured, ”Especially if they come from a certain mare called Blue Moon.”

She kissed me again, all the while keeping the shower directed at us both. I even grinned when I felt it angled at our groins. There was a reason why I had the detachable shower head installed, after all, “I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Blue?” I asked with a smile.

“Yes, my love?”

“I don’t think we’re going to make it back to the bedroom.”

“Best news I heard all night,” Blue whispered as she kissed me several times on the lips and then moved to the side of my muzzle and started to work her way down my neck. I could feel her lightly licking and nipping at my neck, the pain and pleasure was just amazing, and I cooed in reply.

Her body didn’t move, rather it simply rocked, grinding her marehood upon my own. Even with the shower head going, I could feel her rubbing upon me, the heat of her pussy sending sparks to my own and, oh dear Luna, I loved it.

Her teeth scraped the skin of my neck, teasing me with the possibility of a break, yet I was to be denied. Rather, she moved her hips more and more forcefully against me.

My hooves shot up to her cutie mark, rubbing her flanks in small circles, the toned muscles of her ass with just enough fat upon them to make her that much cuter in my book.

Her right hoof moved up and down my chest, rubbing my fur, causing me to go wild from her touch alone. I cooed, loudly, my moans growing with intensity and volume with her every actions.

With her left hoof, she positioned the showerhead over my head, letting it spray down upon us both and forcing me to close my eyes. Somehow, it made every touch she gave me, every rub of her upon me that much harder. Given, I did lament the fact that I could no longer see her.

For an eternity I felt her keep this up, teasing me, rubbing me, pushing me to the edge of my desire, every single cell in my body demanding more, more, more. I couldn’t see anything she was doing, but I felt it, I felt it all like I had never felt anything before in my life. I wanted her to do more, I wanted her to commit to something; bite me, suck me, lick me raw, fuck me until I scream in desperation for you to stop, something dammit!

She was simply doing everything and nothing, teasing my neck and muzzle with her teeth, rubbing my clit raw with her own, letting the shower keep me blind, helpless to what she was going to do next. I felt her hooves play with my nipples, squeeze my own flanks until they hurt, only to lightly rub them tenderly afterwards.

It was at once the greatest and worst feeling ever. Like having the greatest treasure in the world but being told you cannot spend it. Being given the tastiest food in existence but not being allowed to eat it. My body was screaming at me to do something.

My mind acted without my conscious will. Without thinking, my tactician's mind took over. In a second I placed both hooves on her shoulders and pushed with a strength that belittled my size.

There was just one little problem with my epic plan to take charge of the situation. What I had wanted to do, all I had wanted to do was force her on her back, so I could take over and move the show along.

Well, it worked, kinda.

What I had not counted on, what I should have factored into my plans but didn’t; we were in my tub. And while it was big enough for a normal sized pony, as in too big for me but more than enough for Blue, both of us were in it.

I managed to push her on her back alright, but her head rang out when it slammed up against the faucet. I thought that it was over on that, that I just ruined our night. What I didn’t count on, was that she growled and looked at me. Hungrily.

“So you want to play rough? You can have that!” she growled lustfully before pushing against me.

The look of horror on my face at what I had done turned to bewilderment as she practically leapt at me. Together, we both fell out of the tub and rolled on the bathroom floor. Our very wet, very soaked, and very horny bodies tumbling over and over as we fought for who would end up on top.

In the end, we hit the door frame and I went through while she came to a stop. I got to my hooves and stared at her with a smile upon my face, relieved and grateful to no end that she not only seemed unhurt, but was still in a playful mood, “Oh no,” I said with a smile.

“Oh yes, that flank is mine!” she growled and leaped forward again.

This time she smashed me against the wall, my wings slamming painfully against the hard obstacle, but I couldn’t care less. Even that pain was sweet, and I loved it as I pushed her over and sent us crashing on the floor again. I was pretty sure that all the neighbours would call the guards for that loud sound soon.

Blue didn’t care, and in the next kiss, she bit into my lips, lightly pulling back to open the wound some more. It wasn’t really surprising, after our last few ‘training sessions’, I knew that she loved my blood, and I couldn’t say that I disliked hers.

Hell, I loved her’s just as much as she did mine. When she reached down for another kiss, it came as no surprise that her fangs sunk into my lips. I could feel her drinking from me and my body responded in kind. My own nethers became wetter and wetter. My left hoof reached up to her waist, pulling her closer. My right moved to the back of her head as to push her even deeper inside of me.

That… was a mistake.

“Ouch!” Blue exclaimed as she pulled back suddenly and rubbed the back of her head, “Careful, that’s still tender.”

I blushed at ‘that’ injury being enough to cause us to stop, “Are you okay?” I asked, concerned.

“Yeah, just a little banged up,” However, when she pulled her hoof back, there was a small amount of blood there.

“We should get you cleaned up, I don’t want anything to happen to my marefriend, especially not when it was my fault.”

“Night, it was an accident, but… yeah, that might be a good idea.”

“I have some antiseptic in the spare bedroom,” I stated as I got to my hooves and turned moved down the hall.

“I meant to ask, why’d you get a two bedroom apartment anyway? Do you have a roommate I need to know about?”

“What, no—”

“‘Cause I don’t like to share my toys.”

“Nothing like that,” I said with a smile as I opened the door, “It’s well… it’s…”

“What the…,” she gasped upon seeing what was inside.

“It’s more of a training room,” I stated.

The room itself was the same size as my bedroom, there were just a few major differences. This room had tactical maps and battle plans strung up all along the walls. Tacs covered the vast majority of them, Red for our enemy forces, green for ours. Roll upon roll of scrolls were stacked upon the sides of the room, the center of which had a huge table with a map of Equestria that was scientifically accurate to the tenth degree.

“What is this?” Blue asked with wide eyes as she made her way into the room, both of us still dripping water from our coats.

“I’ve gone over every major engagement of Equestria’s forces for the past few hundred years. I replay them, figuring out where we went wrong if we lost, or where we could do better if we won. I’m proud to say that had my strategies been used, we would have suffered eighty-seven percent less casualties.”

“Hindsight's always twenty-twenty.”

“Uh-uh, I based my calculations only on information they had at the start of the battle, then run a simulation based on information gained after the battle was over and how it played out.”

“You’re… you’re serious?” She looked up at me with wide eyes.

“Yeah, I mean, it’s not real and all bu—”

“Have you shown this to Moon Shield? Luna?”

“Of course, I couldn’t have gotten this information without the princess’s support.”

“W-what?”

“Actually, I look over it every first sunday of the month with Luna,” I added with a giggle, “Some of my strategies are already being adapted, in fact they’re already reconstructing the right wing of the castle. Of course had it been done four hundred years ago we could’ve avoi—”

I never got to finish that sentence, Blue Moon interrupted me with a kiss to my lips, “You are amazing to me, Night Watch.”

I blushed, “I mean, it’s obvious when you stop to think about it.”

She laughed at that, “Obvious, right.”

I sheepishly grinned as I went to grab the first aid kit. Blue sat down on her haunches and waited for me to get back. I placed it on the table and opened up the kit, reaching in I grabbed the antiseptic and a sponge, “This might hurt a little.”

“I think that’s the motto of our relationship,” she said with a grin.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—”

“Relax, I don’t blame you for it. Besides, I did kinda pee on you.”

“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” I replied with a grin as I picked up the sponge in my mouth and started to dabble in on the small scrape on her head.

In truth I suspect that she was fine, that it was nothing to worry about, I was just grateful that that was the case.

“So, um, maybe we should talk about limits? Like, what do you not want to do, any lines you don’t want to cross?”

I placed the sponge back down on the table and went to dabble some more antiseptic on it, “Blue, as long as it’s with you, we can do anything.”

“Really? I mean, that could get kinda... kinky,” I know she was kinda worried about having peed on me, but honestly, it wasn’t even that bad.

“Promise?” I asked as I picked up the sponge and took it back to her head.

“I’ll remember you said that,” she smiled as she moved her head back in position and let me get back to work.

There was something about taking care of her, something about me being the one to care for somepony else’s injuries, almost like she was dependent on me for her own well being. That thought made me smile, even chuckle a little.

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” she asked.

“A little,” I mumbled as I finished up and placed the sponge back in the kit.

“Does this mean I have to hurt myself some more from now on?” she joked.

“To get me to take care of you? Nah, you just gotta… ask,” I whispered the last word into her ear seductively. Seeing chills run up and down the back of her neck at the thought of it. She cooed excitedly and then turn her head to face me.

“Bedroom?”

“Here, now,” I replied back with a lustful grin.

She started to turn around, but before she could finish, I pushed her down upon the table, sending centuries old scrolls flying in all directions and scattering small tokens representing battalions of soldiers to the floor with my actions.

“Night… your work,” Blue whispered, but I quickly shushed her.

“Not… caring,” I growled lustfully, starting to nip at her neck.

“I like you in charge like this,” she cooed playfully to my nips.

“Get used to it, General Night Watch takes what she wants,” I said after breaking the skin upon her neck with my fangs and licking up the small amount of blood that poured out.

“Mmhmm, is that so?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“So, how are you going to conquer this challenge?”

“Well, when dealing with a foe that’s stronger than you, you never want to attack them head on,” I whispered staring down upon her. My front hooves on either side of the chest, my back hooves still on the floor, “So you chip away at their flanks.”

At that I moved to her right front hoof and started leaving a small trail of kisses upon her fur, going all around even to her shoulder joints. When the right was done, I moved to the left and repeated that action.

“A sound strategy, but one they’ll quickly adapt to,” She replied, moving her wings out as if to represent a reinforced enemy.

“Then you withdraw your forces and attack from where they’ll least expect it, right behind them.”

Her eyes went wide as I moved to her lower hooves, starting to leave a trail of licks and caresses directly up her inner thighs.

“Right after their commander?” She asked in hope.

“Nope,” I replied, pulling back right before reaching the honeypot between her legs, “While you can win with a swift decapitation of the enemy’s leadership, it’s also the most guarded. As such your casualties will be a lot higher.”

“So what do you do then?”

“Simple,” I stated, my head moving back up to hers, kissing her again and again, “As the old saying goes, be where your enemy doesn’t want you to be. Once you have them completely confused, expecting attacks from every single angle and every direction, strike in the last place they now expect.”

“Where’s that?” she asked. I could literally feel the heat coming from the mare, it was like the area around her was ten degrees hotter.

“Her front.”

Her eyes went wide as she felt me starting to leave a trail of nips, kisses, and licks down her stomach. I hit every area I could on my way down, being merciless and methodical in my actions, not leaving a single area untouched but not stay at any area for too long either.

She cooed, moaned and kicked to every single one of my ministrations. I was relentless and it drove her wild. I knew she was beyond horny at this point. Her entire body longing for my touch, her nipples and teats almost pulsing with a life of their own, “And when you reach their most vulnerable locations, you attack, relentlessly.”

I bit down, hard upon her right teat. My fangs penetrated her skin without a second’s hesitation. No mercy, no chance for her to adjust in the slightest. The room filled with the cries of pleasure that escaped her lips, the pure cry of enjoyment mixed with just the right amount of pain as I drank from her.

The taste of her blood was an ambrosia the likes of which I’ll never get enough of. It was her, it was us, it was everything we stood for, all the love we had for one another.

And even that, it simply failed to describe the full impact of what it was like. It was like drinking pure love, mixed with nurturing springwater, and pure concentrated sunlight all in one. Every sip I took left me more needing of it, and yet satisfied in a way I could never hope to describe.

In seconds, I could feel her body responding in kind, I could feel her cumming just from my touch, from my bite. Reluctantly, I pulled back, “And now, when they know they’ve lost, they’ve accepted it, and resigned themselves to their fate, you strike at the head.”

She looked at me, confusion on her face, she was still in her blessed delirium. A state I only enhanced as my muzzle came in contact with her marehood, gently teasing her. She threw her head back as I basically nuzzled her inner folds.

“Oh… dear Luna! Yes!”

She was dripping, wetter than I’ve ever known her in my life. If drinking from her teat had been dinner, this was the followup desert. I still had no idea which one I liked more, but, luckily for me, I didn’t have to choose.

My tongue worked in and out, every time I penetrated her with it, I felt her walls clamp upon the appendage, almost like she never wanted it to leave. In truth, I didn’t want it to go either.

Even if the thought of walking around all day with my tongue buried in her snatch was a rather funny one.

As much of her juices I’d drink, she’d simply replace them with more, and more, almost as if it were a never-ending reservoir of my own personal wine. My muzzle became soaked, my nostrils filled with the scent of her, and I loved it.

My eyes caught sight of her little bud sticking out of its hood. I grinned and quickly moved up to latch my lips upon her clit and suckle as hard as I could. Almost as if I were a foal and this was the last meal I’d ever have in my entire life.

Her screams became louder and louder, her actions more and more extreme. I heard several more items fly against the wall and smash upon contact, and yet, I just didn’t give a damn. In truth, I had no idea if this was simply one long orgasm for her, or if I was simply showing her new levels of pleasure in my actions.

I was good with either actually.

Alas, everything comes to an end. After seconds, minutes, or hours, I’m not exactly sure, her head fell back against the table and she stopped screaming. Her body far to exhausted by the overwhelming pleasure she had just experienced.

She smelt like sex, sweat, and blood. I was almost tempted to ask her to never shower again, just so she’d always smell like that.

I stopped and pulled up. Licking my muzzle clean as I jumped up on the table and laid down by her side.

I whispered into her ear, “And that’s how you win the war.”

There’s an old adage I forgot when it comes to warfare: you’re at your most vulnerable, right before you win.

I should’ve thought about it, because as soon as I settled down at her side, she rolled over onto me, with a strength and speed I thought was impossible after everything I just served her. Yet, she pinned me easily onto the table.

She growled one phrase right before going to town on me, “Always prepare for the sudden counterattack.”

Her fangs immediately sunk into my neck and I hissed in agony when they penetrated my skin. Her back hoof started to rub up and down my slit, grinding upon me, directly as it felt like it was trying to split me in half.

Her front hooves had my body pinned as she let go of my neck and looked up, a small amount of blood covering her muzzle as she licked herself clean and began moving down my chest.

Her kisses were full on bites, her licks were more like sandpaper against my skin. She was being forceful, using me, taking from me everything she wanted with no regard to how I felt.

Luna help me. I love it.

Removing her hooves from mine, she placed them on my flanks and pushed me up the table. I felt my body slide across maps and scrolls as she moved me into the position she wanted me to be in.

She looked down upon my marehood with a hungry look in her eyes, it was like a predator's gaze staring at her prey. Save I was that prey. Any second now I expected her to dive right in, to eat me out, viciously, without mercy, until I begged for her to stop.

And she did, just not in the way I expected.

Goes to show, I need to stop underestimating her.

In a flash her muzzle dived down, slightly lower than I expected. My eyes went wide as I felt her tongue press against my anus, “Blue, I… Oh… wow.”

She didn’t reply, her tongue going to work on the area surrounding my brown hole, she licked me, coating my ass in her saliva before her tongue started to push in, licking me from the inside out.

It blew my mind. I had never, never expected her to just do something like this to me, but… we did kinda say no restrictions between us, and with everything else we had done today alone, this wasn’t exactly a huge leap or something.

It quickly became enjoyable in a way I had never expected it to be. She lifted my back hooves over her shoulders and pulled my flank off the table as to give her better access. Her tongue kept inserting itself, licking up and down, her slobbers echoing in my ears as I relaxed and let her do whatever she wanted.

“Oh, Blue!” My mind quickly decided that this was something we would add to our repertoire after tonight. I couldn’t wait to return the favor and show her what this end felt like.

Her right front hoof moved up and started to play with my slit, I could feel it stroking over me while her tongue went to work, her hoof rubbing up and down my soaking wet marehood. However, when it struck my clit, I almost lost it in that one instant.

“AHH!” my cry of please let itself out without any regard for what I wanted it to do.

At that, just as suddenly as it started, it stopped. She moved her muzzle back and let my flank rest against the table again. I laid there, panting, sweating, and worse, unsatisfied, “W-why’d you stop?”

“I want to try something,” she said with a blush.

“I think you already did. Spoiler, I liked it.”

“Something, else, but… it might hurt. Like, a lot.”

“Do it.” I stated.

“But… you don’t even know what it is.”

“You act like I care, if it’s you, do it.”

“Night…”

“Blue, we talked. Do it,” I whispered gently, my look full of love.

She didn’t say anything, rather, she simply smiled an unsure smile and moved back down, hesitantly. That part had me worried. I don’t know why she was so reluctant to do whatever it was she wanted to do.

Part of me was kind of nervous, but a larger part of me was excited about what she would do.

Her lips soon found my marehood and started to leave little kisses up and down my slit. It felt good, but that conversation had kind of put me off. Idled me down, so to speak. She took her time, working me back up with little kisses and licks and even a few nips against my sensitive lips.

I cooed, loudly when her tongue made entry. Feeling her inside of me was simply amazing, so much so I had almost forgotten our conversation. Almost.

Her muzzle moved up and latched itself upon my slit. Suckling on mine in much the same way I had hers. And just like when I did hers, it felt bucking amazing.

I could feel every impulse being set from it like lightning bolts striking my body. I started to kick and cry out rhythmically in pleasure.

And then her fangs sunk in. Penetrating my clit.

“AHHH!” There was no pleasure mixed with that cry, it was pain; nothing but pain as she bit into my clitrous with her fangs. My head shot up with tears streaming from my face.

To her credit, she didn’t stop. She sank her fangs deeper into me as blood began pouring from me in waves upon waves, directly into her mouth. However, she did stare up at me, her eyes finding mine.

There was something about those pools of pinkish-red that simply made me lost, I stopped crying, losing myself in the depths of her eyes. It still hurt, mind you, it hurt like being bucked by an earth pony directly in the pussy. But….

I knew, logically, it was the venom in her fangs numbing where they bit, but to me, it was her eyes. The pain started to become something else, something I had never expected in my life: it became pleasure.

My hind legs spread apart as far as they could and then went numb. My hooves moved up to the sides of my groin, spreading myself apart even further to give her better access. I was bleeding, a lot. I could see that it was too much for even her to drink it all, a decent amount was dripping getting past her, pooling below my flank.

“Ohhh… yes….”

It took me a moment to realize those words had came from me. She raised her hoof and held onto mine. I could feel her, could feel her strength holding onto me as another wave of pleasure washed over me.

The blood she was drinking was soon met with more and more juices, just not of the red variety. I had no idea how she felt when I did what I did to her, but I knew it couldn’t hold a candle to this.

My body was exhausted, its life force draining, but for every bit of my strength that left me, it was replaced by pleasure. I felt my breathing slow down, my breaths becoming shallow, my limbs going limp. Truly the only part of me that was still going strong was my pussy.

I could feel my vaginia contract and release as she kept me pushed off the edge of ecstasy. At some point. I had stopped cumming on her, but only because I no longer could. while I was still in the bliss of pleasure, my body simply couldn’t make any more juices.

I cried out when her teeth pulled out of me. It hurt, yes, something made worse when the air of the room touched the open wound, but that wasn’t the reason I cried. I cried because she had stopped.

She quickly moved up me and locked her lips into mine. I realized why, she bit her lip hard for me to drink from her. When our mouths opened I was overcome with the taste of my blood, cum, and her blood. It was a smorgasbord of delectable flavors that filled my mouth and made me hungry for more.

I drank and drank until the wound on her lip had healed. When that happened and it became obvious to the two of us we were just trading spit now, she pulled back and offered me her neck.

I didn’t need a second invitation. My fangs instantly found the same wounds I had made earlier. My fangs found the same spot and I plunged them into her, rejuvenating myself on her.

She cooed softly, holding my head in her hooves as like a needy foal, I simply took as much as I wanted.

I only drank from her for a minute. When I felt enough of my strength had returned I pulled back, lowing my head back to the table.

“You… you don’t want any more?” she asked, surprised.

I shook my head no as Iicked my lips clean. It was then I really got a look at her, her muzzle was soaked with cum and blood, almost as if she had just been in the best orgy ever and then went to hunt afterwards.

“You just want me to keep you warm tonight, don’t you?”

I grinned, it didn’t surprise me that she’d figure it out so quickly. She lay down next to me and wrapped me up in her hooves and wing. I had never been so grateful to be so small in my life. Her wing wrapped over my used and abused clit. Protecting it from the very air around us.

I knew, logically, that I was going to hurt, probably for a few weeks after tonight. The last two days of our leave would probably see me spending them in bed, unable to walk. But oh Luna, that had been amazing.

“Blue?”

“Hmm?” she cooed.

“What do you think leads this here?”

“What do you mean?” she raised her head and looked at me.

“I mean us. Is this a thing forever? Not that I already want a ring around my hoof, but just… I don’t know, I somehow want to know,” I whispered.

“I think… I think we’re going to spend a few weeks simply loving each other, just like this. Then… then we’ll meet each other’s family, well, the rest of our families. We’ll laugh, cry, and make love a hundred, no, a thousand times more. And then one day that ring will be around both of our hooves. Maybe after that, we look at adoption?”

“I love the sound of this,” I murmured sleepily, but happy.

She pushed my muzzle deep against her chest, I breathed in deep her scent, and mine, no, our scent. It was the scent of blood, sweat, and sex. The scent of us. I cooed softly as my eyes closed on me. And yet, yet as much as I wanted to give into sleep, to simply fall asleep in the mare who’s touch I knew I could not go a day of my life without knowing. I didn’t want to at the same time.

Sleep would take me from her, it would separate us for hours, hours I didn’t want to lose. At that time, I wished there was a way that I didn’t need to sleep. A way I could just stay up and be held by her, forevermore.

Alas, I knew it was not to be. I would, sooner that I wanted, fall asleep. I could already feel the tendrils of sleep warming their way around me, making my eyelids heavy.

I looked up at her at that moment, knowing I was not long for the conscious world and wanting to see her one more time before it happened. She was staring down right at me, that wonderful smile upon her muzzle, and those beautiful pinkish-red eyes peering into mine.

It felt like a total loss of self just staring at her, but it was a sensation that I looked forward to. It was like I was drowning in her eyes. And as my eyelids closed and the sweet embrace of sleep finally claimed me, I smiled.
