Cheerilee's love life was remarkably simple. She was an independent mare, open to relationships but not desperate for them. Her "thing" with Big Macintosh was friendly, not yet serious, and straightforward.

Then he comes along, gives her an experience straight out of a bodice-ripper romance novel, and now things aren't quite so simple anymore.

In the darkness of the night a mysterious batpony stallion enters her bedroom and makes passionate love to her. And she's not sure what to think about it, even as her body knows what to feel.

This story will be part clop, part internal conflict. The clop will be entirely contained within the "night" chapters, so for those of you who like your porn without plot, feel free to skip to those.

I'm not sure using song titles for fic titles is sensible, and I really don't like doing it with clop, but that didn't stop me from coming really close anyway.
