A.K. Yearling, better known as Daring Do, has wanted to make some extra money during the down time between adventures. Being an experienced author, it's not hard for her to guess what kind of novels would bring in the bits.

Being an adventurer can be exhausting. The deep, dark jungles, the constant life and death situations, the ancient structures you could get lost in and never come out of – it would probably scare away most ponies before they even got started!

Thankfully, there's quite a bit of down time while the bad guys put together their next nefarious plan. Still, there are bills to be paid and supplies to be procured, and the last few of A.K. Yearling's autobiographies simply haven't sold as well as some of her earlier ones. Being an author for as long as she has, she knows what kind of book would really bring in the big bits if written well, and she has been interested in ghost writing a steamy tale or two when she had the chance. However, it's been quite the long time since she had the necessary...experience that would allow her to tell such a story properly.

Fortunately, Ms. Do knows a certain somepony who would probably be more than willing to lend a hoof – and hopefully will once she learns what's involved.

Chapter 1

Rainbow Dash pulled the letter from under her wing and double-checked the address. The place was just where the stallions at the train station and the newspaper stand said it'd be – on the outskirts of town on the eastern side. Wasn't terribly hard to find. It sure was a heck of a lot nicer, and bigger, than the run-down shack she and her friends came across A.K. Yearling in the first time they met and discovered the truth about their favorite literary hero.

It wouldn't have looked terribly out of place in Ponyville, maybe in the more upper crust area. Heck, most of Emerald Hills looked like it could have been found back home. Seemed a quiet, relaxing little town in a cool, crisp area of Equestria. It was highly unlikely that Rainbow would be sticking around long enough to see if it ran into as many crazy shenanigans as Ponyville did, but investigating some weird disturbance didn't seem to be what Daring Do had asked her to stop by about. Besides, given what Rainbow knew her the adventurous archaeologist could do, she could have probably handled whatever bothered the town on her own if something ever came up – though doing so could blow her cover, assuming anypony in town knew about her double life to begin with. Daring Do did make it a point to inform Rainbow in her letter to refer to her by her pseudonym while she was in town. Questions for later perhaps.

For a home that showed you had some decent money, it looked remarkably plain. No garden to tend out front, no balcony to relax on on the second story, no front porch to swing on, and only a couple simple cedars on either side of the dwelling. None of the blinds were open, so she couldn't peer in and see exactly what kind of awesome stuff Daring Do undoubtedly kept in her place. Essentially, it was a couple of large beige blocks forming a right angle. It was kind of understandable. No reason to draw any unnecessary attention, just in case any of her enemies ever found out about A.K. Yearling and Daring Do.

Shrugging at the bland home, Rainbow marched up to the door and gave it a knock. As she waited, she took a nice, deep breath. Hm! The scents in the air reminded her of the annual Running of the Leaves. With a smile now on her face, the door unlocked and a familiar face greeted her.

"Rainbow! You made it! Come in, come in!"

"Hey! What's going on?"

The two pegasi exchanged a hoofbump as Rainbow stepped into the simple living area. It was as extravagant as the outside of the house. A nice but fairly standard couch sat by a coffee table with a couple comfortable-looking chairs flanking it. A fireplace sat across from the sofa, always ready to offer warmth when called upon. In the corners of the room, sitting on pedestals, were what looked to be procured prizes from either dig sites or possibly ancient lost temples and the like. One was a sleek black cat sitting upright with blue jewels for eyes. Another was a far older relic – a sand-colored, weather-beaten stone pony head. It was missing the top of one of its ears and most of its features had been worn thanks to time, but it was recognizable enough. On her walls hung a couple canvases that wouldn't have looked out of place in a modern art museum but not quite expensive enough to have not been picked up at a corner market somewhere.

"Eh, not much. Been nice not having to worry about anything around Equestria that I have to go diving head first into. I'm sure you can relate, eh?"

"You ain't kidding!"

Daring Do chuckled and continued. "You have the letter I sent?"

Rainbow nodded and hoofed it over. "I know this may sound like a strange question, but why would you tell me to use your writing name right there in the letter and then have me bring it? I mean, some of your enemies know who I am. If they happened to catch up with me and get a hold of it–"

"Ah, I wasn't worried. I'm always checking over my shoulder anyway, and I've never seen hide nor hair of any troublemakers showing up around here. Besides, it's not like you wouldn't be able to just outrun Caballeron or any of his goons or anypony else I may know, even if they found you. I know what kind of speed you're capable of. I've seen the Wonderbolts talked about in the sports section of the paper before," the adventurer said, giving her friend a playful jab with an elbow. "I'll trash it later though. Anyway, how was your train ride?"

"It was fine," Rainbow stated as she flopped down on the couch, kicking her hooves up. "Took a nap on the way. Most train rides are so boring, especially when you don't have anypony else to talk to."

"Yeah, I hear you," Daring said, also sitting down. "Most times, I hang out in my cabin going over maps or reading up on some history of the places I'm traveling to. But, you know me, always need to keep a low profile."

"Yep. But, don't these townsponies know about you? I don't see how a place like this is considered a low profile."

"A few ways. First, I tell my publisher not to publish here. Could run the risk of giving myself away by accident. Second, if anyone asks what I do, I simply tell them I'm a navigator on a ship and occasionally go away on 'business' and they leave it alone. I do have a compass rose for a cutie mark, so it's a passable lie. Nopony's asked about that for a while here. Plus, everypony here thinks my name is Starboard Bow. Keeps in line with the navigator bit, and I always make sure to be in my usual disguise when I go out."

Rainbow let out a quick burst of laughter. "So some ponies know you as A.K. Yearling, and these ponies know you as Starboard Bow. How do you keep it all straight?"

A cocky grin came to Daring's face. "Eh, I manage. Frankly, I'm amazed sometimes that I've been able to keep the charade up for so long."

"You've had a lot of practice. Probably comes easy by now. Anyway, talk to me. What did you want to see me about? Is there some terrible, dangerous tomb that you need an extra set of hooves in? Did somepony kidnap a friend of yours?" Rainbow paused and tapped her chin. "Actually, aside from me and my friends, do you have any of your own? I mean, you did say you work alone."

The adventurer shifted her eyes away and cringed ever so slightly. "No, no, it's nothing like that. And...well, no, I kinda don't, not really. S'okay though. But, it does involve my books though. Y'see...the last few I've written, including the one you were in...s-simply haven't sold as well as my earlier works."

"What?!" Rainbow hollered, almost personally offended by the outrage. "That's absurd! The stories are awesome – and they're real too! What's not to love?"

"Hey, I asked that myself too. I mean, Smooth Talker has, like, twenty movies to his name and he's not real. I don't hear ponies complaining about him." The pegasus folded her forelegs and snorted in annoyance.

The speedster shrunk back and awkwardly rubbed her mane. "Eh, I can't really deny that some of his spy gadgets are pretty cool. But anyway, why do some ponies complain about your books?"

Ruby eyes rolled. "Apparently, they've gotten repetitive and predictable...and they found your character unrealistic and annoying." Rainbow silently glared at her idol. "Not my words. If it wasn't for you and your friends, I'd could very well be dead right now."

"The Smooth Talker movies are pretty repetitive too," Rainbow grumbled.

"I know, right? More than one have been disappointing and a few have been downright terrible! But, my publisher has been underwhelmed with my sales lately. I suppose I can take some liberties and spruce things up a bit the next time I have to go after Caballeron or Ahuizotl or whoever, but I obviously have no idea when that kind of stuff is going to happen. Plus, I have a few strategically placed properties in Equestria that I have to keep maintained for when I travel – and I have my home home here. It can get pretty expensive, and when your books aren't selling like they used to, well..."

"Yeah, things can add up pretty quick. But, how does this all involve me?"

Daring Do cleared her throat and fumbled for a quick response. Time to see if her ally was up for a real challenge, in a manner of speaking. Considering how little she really knew about Rainbow outside of her own heroics as an Element of Harmony, things could go either way in a hurry.

"Well, as you know, aside from being a bit of a treasure hunter, I'm also a writer. It's pretty important to keep an eye on what the market is like. I mean, granted, any occupation that involves selling something requires you to know what your competition is up to. There's...one particular kind of story that always seems to sell well, no matter how bad the writing is – and I've read several, the writing is typically pretty terrible – so I was thinking of ghost writing one during down time such as this. As you can imagine, it tends to help – not always, but it certainly makes a difference – if you have some kind of experience with the subject matter, whether it's personal experience or if you sit and talk with somepony who's been involved in what you want to write about at some point. Helps you get a better understanding of the subject matter. Heck, even Smooth Talker was created by a former spy, and he based some of the first books he wrote off some of the things he did."

Blue ears perked up. "Wait, Smooth Talker was real just like you, and there are books about him too?"

Daring shrugged. "Kinda sorta. That wasn't his real name, of course, but he was a real war hero."

"Huh. That's actually pretty awesome."

"Heck yeah, it is! Anyway, my point is that I was hoping and praying you'd be interested in assisting me with this...experience I want to write about as part of the story. I have an idea or two in my head as far as an overall plot goes, but with this particular kind of book, the plot is almost secondary. A few...details are what sells them. It's been a little while since I've had this experience myself and I wanted to get a bit of a refresher course."

"Sure, why wouldn't I? What kind of stuff are you talking about?"

The tan mare suddenly had trouble making eye contact and bit her lip. "You're probably going to think it's a bit...strange. Just...don't be too weirded out, okay? It's not something I've shared with anypony in ages."

Rainbow's curiosity and confusion was quickly peaking, complete with a raised eyebrow. "Oooo-kay, you've officially lost me here."

Daring took a deep breath. It didn't do a thing to relax her. Despite her heart starting to race and her stomach turning, she stood from her cushy chair and offered Rainbow a hoof. "Come with me. I'll show you."

As Rainbow followed Daring Do through the house, she was able to quickly glance at a few of the other rooms: a decently furnished kitchen, a nice dining room, and one of the bedrooms upstairs. One of the doors was mostly closed and thus didn't give her any clean view. Rainbow assumed she had a study or a work area where she wrote her stories down but just hadn't gone past it on the way. A couple standard pieces of nature-styled artwork hung on the walls as they went, and a small corner table sat at the end of the hall with a potted plant on top beside the last door. The treasure hunter came to a stop in front it and took another deep breath, staring hard at the entrance.

"Last chance to turn back," Daring Do said.

"The more you try and make me worried, the more I want to know what's up. You know that, right?"

Daring smiled and chuckled to herself. "Yeah, I guess I do. Just remember though, you asked for this."

Shifting the plant to the side, the pegasus revealed a key hiding beneath the pot's concave underbelly. Rainbow's eyebrow went skyward again. What in the world could Daring Do need to keep locked away in her own home?

With a twist, the lock came undone. The pair stepped inside with Rainbow taking the lead, little sunlight shining through the dark, drawn curtains. She blinked hard, making sure her adjusting eyes didn't deceive her and that the shadowed forms she spotted around the room weren't what she thought they were. Daring flicked the switch to reveal her most hidden of treasures and closed the door behind her, leaning up against it on her hind legs.

Alright, the objects were precisely what she thought they were.

It was a third bedroom under normal circumstances, possibly the master at one time. A king size bed and a small wooden nightstand sat in the center of the wall across from the covered window. That's where the similarities ended. To Daring's right hung nearly a dozen or so paddles of various sizes, shapes and textures. Some were made of wood, others what she was hoping wasn't real leather. A couple had several strategically-placed holes and one had numerous studs along its body. Beside those, a few types of whips hung from hooks, one of which looked to be the one Daring Do swung when they went on their adventures together. Another dangled what looked to be nearly a dozen strands worth of pain attached to a red-and-black braided handle. A riding crop hung next to that. She wasn't sure whether to be offended by or scared of that one. Three various kinds of hoofcuffs were at the end of the strange buffet, one set common steel, another with furry pink restraints, and the last, again, made of what may or not have been leather. The final hung lower thanks to a few feet of accompanying chains.

In the near corner sat something that almost looked like it could be found on a playground. In the middle of four metal legs that met overhead hung a sleek, black seat. A pair of stirrups fell from above as well, coming to a stop just below where a mare may plant her posterior if she so chose. Higher up, a pair of handles invited any willing participants to hold on. It took all of a second for Rainbow to figure out what the contraption was, despite never seeing one before. On the other side of the bed, a strangely simple X-shaped rack stood. However, at each end laid open an adjustable brown strap, easily reminding the daredevil of a belt, all ready to claim their next victim. From the ceiling, several hooks and metal rings seemed to be randomly placed. However, given what was all over the room, their locations undoubtedly had a purpose that was making Rainbow Dash clench her hind legs together.

One of the two doors on the far side of the room was ajar, revealing a mercifully ordinary bathroom. The other was closed, likely a closet. Rainbow chose not to open it; the rest of the room was enough for her. After her short tour, she slowly turned back around and stared, stunned beyond words, at her fellow pegasus. Daring broke eye contact and shrugged sheepishly. A single word eventually made its way out of Rainbow's mouth.

"Uhhhhhhh...?"

"You know what kind of things I do out in the world. It...takes a lot...if you know what I mean," Daring muttered.

"Uhhhhhhh...?"

The archaeologist sighed and approached her friend. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash didn't shrink away. "Look...this is part of what I was hoping you'd help me out with for that book I wanted to write. I wanted to have a few steamy scenes involving...stuff like this among the rest of the story. Like I said, I have a couple ideas for the plot, but I was going to have the main character be into this kind of thing."

"Err, have you always had this stuff?"

"Well...not all at once," Daring replied with a shrug.

Rainbow's ruby eyes rolled. "That's not what I meant. I mean, like, when did you get involved with all this? How many other ponies know about it?"

"Past and present ponies?"

"Yes."

The adventurer cleared her throat. "You would be the second."

A blink. "Seriously?"

"Well, a few others learned about it a long time, but I can guarantee they don't even remember who I am anyway," Daring clarified.

"What do you mean?"

"College."

"Oh." Another blink. "Who was the first?"

Daring looked off and sighed. "An old flame from a long time ago."

"Oh. Okay." A pregnant pause went by before Rainbow continued. "Why me though?"

"I figured you'd be willing to give something like this a shot for me, given how much you've fawned over me in the past. That, and, seemingly being the tough one of your group of friends, I thought you may see something like this as a bit of a challenge," the older mare added, winking.

Rainbow zipped into the air, waving her forelegs. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I like you and all, really I do. But this...ahhhh...I mean, this is just way out of left field here! Besides, I'm into stallions! I was only with a mare once at the weather academy I studied at a few years after I got my cutie mark and it didn't do anything for me."

The adventurer sighed and pouted. "Ah well. I guess you're not really the super tough mare who's always ready to try something...daring." Proud of her pun, she gave Rainbow a wily little smile. "I suppose at first glance, all this gear is pretty intimidating."

"I'm not intimidated by it, it's just...it's...not what I expected, that's all. And where did you get all this anyway?"

"Rainbow, I've been from one side of Equestria to the other. You'd be surprised how many seedy neighborhoods and back alleys there are around where you can find just about anything you can imagine. In some shops, I've gotten extraordinarily lucky and found something I was able to use to track down some treasure; in others, I've found..." Daring nodded at the plethora of whips and paddles on the wall. "All depends on what you're looking for at the time. But, make no mistake, it's not hard to find stuff like this if you want."

The blue mare rubbed her hooves together and glanced again around the room, her slight cringe not going unnoticed. Daring wasn't bothered by it though. She figured such a revelation was going to be a bit of a mind-blower to her biggest fan.

"I guess. It's just so...I don't know..."

"Different?" Daring Do suggested.

"To put it lightly."

"I don't really see it that way." The adventurer glided up and met her friend, their snouts mere inches apart. It was faint, but she could feel Rainbow's hot, nervous breaths tickling her coat. "In fact, considering what I know about you, there's more than a few similarities. To be honest, you remind me a lot of myself when I was younger."

"Err, how?"

"For starters," Daring said, smiling softly, "while I wasn't as interested in athletics as you are, I knew I needed to stay in top shape in order to do what I do. I like to think I still have a pretty nice body, even today, after so many years." Ever so gently, she reached out and began her hoof's journey, beginning on Rainbow's chest and caressing down her side, eventually finding a soft spot beneath a flapping blue wing. Rainbow clenched up, a somewhat ticklish region having briefly been found before Daring's hoof crept back to its starting position only to begin again. "I can tell you feel the same. I know you crave excitement in your life. The idea of standing still for too long probably drives you mad."

With Rainbow Dash hovering stiff in place, frozen by a mixture of curiosity and slight unease, Daring drifted to her side, just barely missing brushing into her friend's most sensitive area as she breezed by. Her hoof didn't miss finding its way along her trembling hind leg, however, gliding across her lightning bolt cutie mark. It had been quite a while since Daring felt such a tight muscle that wasn't her own.

"You look forward to new and dangerous things. You need the thrill." Rainbow could feel the heat from Daring's body. She didn't need to look behind her to know the lustful mare had inched her way in close. "The rush." A gray, striped tail swished back and forth. "The adrenaline." The Wonderbolt tensed up again when the invading hoof suddenly squeezed her backside. Daring glanced down at her target and licked her lips. "Damn," she whispered, thoroughly impressed.

Rainbow couldn't really deny that her adrenaline was starting to kick in a bit. She skipped a breath when Daring zipped around and met her face to face once more. The tan mare looked hungrily into her fellow pegasus' eyes. "Believe me, I know exactly how you feel."

Done with speaking, Daring went on the attack, her lips aggressively parting Rainbow's. The speedster's own ruby eyes went wide, and then even wider when her hips were snatched up and her form pulled against her hero's. As Rainbow's pulse quickened thanks to Daring's tongue winning its fight rather decisively, she couldn't help but admit to herself that the adventurer was a much better kisser than the few stallions she had been with. Normally, having the extra years of practice would be a good explanation for such a thing, but Daring Do had been alone for a while, as she admitted. Seemed she hadn't lost whatever touch she may have had so long ago. Finally, Daring broke the bond, sucking on Rainbow's lower lip as she pulled away. A sliver of swapped spit briefly dangled between them before falling onto their heaving chests. Neither cared about the mess.

Daring sported a cocky grin. It took a moment, but Rainbow eventually came down off her high, blinking in pleasant surprise. "Damn."

"Does this mean you'll help inspire me?" the older mare asked with a chuckle.

"F-for the book, right?"

"Yes. If we happen to get something else just as rewarding out of it, I'm fine with that too. There's just something you have to do for me to make this all work."

"What's that?"

Daring's hoof caressed down the base of her friend's neck, finding its way just slightly down her fuzzy chest. With another somewhat devious smirk, she said, "Exactly as you're told."

Rainbow cocked her head. "What do you mean?"

"I intended for the main character to be...a bit dominant in the relationship I was going to write. His partner was going to enjoy being told what to do when they'd decide to fool around if the mood struck them for such things," she explained. "Since this is obviously something you're not accustomed to, I won't let things get out of control. But I'm also not going to go super easy on you either. I'm sure you can handle it though, what with you being so tough and all. However, if you want to back out now, I won't force things, but this would be your last chance to. What do you say?"

There wasn't any doubt in Rainbow's mind that Daring would do anything intentionally hurt her. At least, not too badly. Her stomach was still knotted but not as badly as it was before. Who knows? Maybe it could actually be fun. You only live once, so why not try something different?

Huh. Guess Daring really did know her better than expected.

"Yeah. Let's do it," Rainbow agreed, touching back down.

"Great! Let me set up a few things really quick."

In a flash, the mare zipped over to the nightstand. The mare shuffled through the top of the two drawers, shifting the meager contents out of the way until she found a simple candle and a holder for it. Also in her possession was a book of matches. Okay, makes sense, even in such an unusual environment. If one wanted to read before bed, you'd need some light. Daring set the holder on the stand and wedged the candle in place, lighting it up with the first strike of a match. Vanilla scented. Not bad at all really.

Next, as Rainbow sat steadfastly in place, Daring landed and headed into the bathroom. There, she opened up the linen closet and grabbed two of the larger towels. Satisfied with what she found, she returned to the bed and laid one of the towels out as flat as it could go, covering a majority of the mattress. The other she left folded over the edge.

She tapped her chin, trying to piece together everything she needed and wanted to do. Something came to her, and the mare headed out of the room and downstairs. Rainbow continued to sit patiently and took a moment to look over the towels. Jeez, how much of a mess was she planning to make? Not long after such contemplations, Daring returned with a chilled bottle of red wine, setting it beside the bed.

Next, she was off to the closet. Before Rainbow knew it, Daring came out with a few black, very leather-looking items, and laid them on the bed too. The author held up each piece briefly to examine them and set them back down. One was larger than the others and cylindrical in shape, held together on one side by numerous criss-crossing threads. A corset it looked to be. The most obvious thing was a mask with a few zippers, and lastly...was that a collar?

Daring took the first thing she grabbed and brought it over to her companion. "Here, stand up straight and stretch your forelegs up."

Alright, a simple request. Upon doing so, the adventurer slid the first of the outfit over Rainbow's head and rested it firmly on her midsection, draping it over top her wings. Using her own wings to help, Daring ran up her back, tightening the laces until she reached the top and secured them properly, almost like tying a really long shoestring. "Okay, that's all set."

"Is this real leather?"

"Mhm! I know, it's a bit off-putting at first, but it really does feel nice once you get used to it. Don't worry though, what it was made from wasn't sentient."

"Still kind of weird."

"Eh, I've seen plenty of civilizations that eat meat and use leather and stuff like that in my travels. You learn to accept it."

"I...suppose."

Rainbow landed back on all fours and tried flexing her wings. Nope, they weren't going anywhere. The only evidence that they were moving at all was the creaking of the leather that was holding them down whenever she tried anything. Though Daring wasn't wrong about her claim. The material was quite cool and did feel a bit...interesting – in a good way. It was more peculiar when the collar snapped closed around her neck. It didn't have any studs or spikes, and fortunately, there wasn't a ring attached to the back that she was half-expecting. She preferred not to be led around like a dog if she could help it.

"Give me just a minute. We're almost ready to begin," Daring Do said.

She headed back to the closet, pausing briefly to look back and give Rainbow a sly wink. While inside, the speed demon could heard Daring shuffling about and sliding hangers around, looking for just the right outfit. The shuffling eventually turned to familiar squeaks. Once Daring was finished and came out, Rainbow's eyes went wide.

She wore thigh-high latex leggings on all four limbs though her front hooves did stick out. Her hind pair clipped onto a form-fitting corset of her own, one that let her wings breathe. A set of tiny underwear – also latex – left little to the imagination, barely existing at all between her cheeks and snapping into place around her dock. On top of her head, her normal bushpony hat had been swapped for a simple black one with a chain running along above the brim. Everything was sleek and black as night. Rainbow wouldn't have been able to deny that she was getting kind of turned on seeing her hero dressed so provocatively.

Walking past her friend, Daring dragged her tail along Rainbow's neck. There was one last thing she needed. What would she like to use? After a moment, she decided on her cat-o-nine-tails. This wouldn't be too bad for Rainbow's first time out, she reasoned – so long as she didn't get carried away herself.

Was there anything else? Daring glanced at the night stand and curled her lips. If she remembered correctly, there were a couple things in the bottom drawer she may want to use, and she was pretty sure there was another item under the bed – something that she definitely wanted. For now, though, everything seemed in order.

"Alright. We're ready to begin," Daring stated, grinning devilishly. She lifted Rainbow's head using her whip. "You are to obey my every command without question. If you don't..."

A single light flogging on the flank was enough to get the message. It was a slight stinging, but Rainbow could handle it. Just how much more was on the way though?

"Also, once we begin, you are to remain silent unless I give you permission to speak, or else..."

Daring gave her another slap.

"Is that understood?"

"Err..."

"Is that understood?!"

"Y-yeah, I gotcha."

"'Yes, Mistress Do,'" Daring firmly corrected, raising her whip as her only warning.

Rainbow gulped. Hard. She could do this. "Y-yes, Mistress Do."

A beige hoof gently caressed a fuzzy, blue cheek. "Mmmm, a fast learner. I like that." The dominatrix swayed over to the wine and scooped it up, bit down on the cork and popped it out. Spitting it onto the wood floor, she took a long, refreshing swig. Satisfied for the moment, Daring turned to her guest, standing up on her hind legs as she demanded, "Open your mouth."

Not wanting to be flayed again, Rainbow did as she was told. A tiny smirk formed at the corner of Daring's lips. Maintaining her bi-pedal balance like a pro, she jammed a latex-clad hoof in the Wonderbolt's mouth. "Clean it."

Their eyes met. Rainbow Dash had never seen Daring so fierce before. The only hesitation she had any time to display was trying to figure out where to start. Quickly, she took Daring's hoof in her own and sucked on the end of her boot, her lips popping when they let go. She occasionally looked up and saw her master was pleased. Alright, things were going fine so far.

Not wanting Daring to get bored, Rainbow dragged her tongue up the mare's inner leg good and slow, massaging her fetlock with her free hoof. The outer leg received similar attention, garnering a pleasant hum from its owner. Rainbow tried her luck, moving a little too far north for Daring's liking, and got a light whip for her trouble. She managed not to squeal; Daring did say not to make any noise.

"Uh uh. Not quite yet."

She retreated back to her original position, hoof in mouth, her ruby eyes almost looking apologetic. After a few more licks up Daring's spit-covered shin, the adventurer spoke up again, prompting her slave to let go of her leg. "Gooooood. You've done well so far and deserve a reward. But I warn you, it'll get much tougher from here." She took up the bottle again and wiggled her hoof in front of Rainbow's face. She got the idea and put it back in her mouth only to see Daring tip over the bottle on her knee. "Drink."

Much of the wine ran down the sides of her leg and onto the floor. The rest splattered onto Rainbow's face and dribbled down her neck with little of it actually going down her throat. She wanted to cough, she wanted to gag, but paced herself so as not to risk riling her mistress. Thankfully, the flavor wasn't unpleasant. Once Daring decided to stop wasting good booze, the daredevil gulped down what she had and lapped up several streams off the soaking boot.

"I didn't even have to tell you. Excellent job," Daring cooed as she put the bottle down again.

In a flash, she took Rainbow's cheeks in her grasp and kissed her passionately again, tasting the wine. Upon breaking their kiss, Mistress Do washed a few spots off her toy's throat with her tickling tongue. Rainbow quietly moaned at the delightful sensation and was punished for it. Her following grunt resulted in another whipping. Her flank was starting to burn a bit, and it was rather difficult not to make any more noise, even as she bit her lip. Mercifully, Rainbow managed to fight off yelping again – barely.

Strangely, however, in spite of the pain that was coming on, it felt...kind of good. The tingling, the nerves on fire...who would have guessed?

With her servant managing to behave, Daring grabbed the folded towel from her bed and dabbed the mess off Rainbow's body as best she could as well from off as the floor. No need to let anything stain. Once everything was as dry as it was going to be for now, she tossed the rag onto the rack in the corner of the room. She had no plans to use it today anyway.

Grinning mischievously, the dominating mare sashayed back to the bed and took hold of the sleek, black mask. The zippers for its victims eyes and mouth were all closed. Good, one less thing to do.

"You may sweat a bit with this on," Daring explained as she sauntered over to Rainbow Dash, "but it can't be much different than when you train wearing your Wonderbolt uniform. There will be a couple...noticeable differences though."

With the zipper in the back closed, it was a snug fit. Breathing wasn't a problem thanks to the snout holes, but there was no give to her jaw, and she was as blind as a bat. Even twirling her ears about to find which direction any sounds may be coming from was going to be impossible. Said sounds may be pretty muffled too. Little time would tell.

A quiet thud came from beside her. Rainbow felt around the source and located several strands of fabric. Ah, Daring set down the whip. While Rainbow was searching, hoofsteps clacked against the floor, heading away from her. Daring again, obviously. She craned her head back and to the left. A few empty seconds went by before...something rattled. Her master returned and slapped a cuff on one hoof and then the other, leaving barely a few inches between them. They felt...fuzzy. Probably were the pink ones she saw earlier. Just like taking to the air, walking anywhere was out of the question now too.

More steps walked away again. Whatever Daring was searching for now, possibly from under the bed, must have been a big surprise. Her mind raced, trying to decipher what it could be.

"Hm...nnnnnno, maybe next time. Ah, here we are."

Once she returned, Mistress Do locked another cuff or bracelet onto her hind hoof...and then something slid out only to grab hold of her other hoof. Her hind legs were forced wide and suddenly locked in place. She struggled briefly against her new metal captor but failed utterly. Daring couldn't help but teasingly graze up the length of her exposed opening, stalling at her clit, as she departed for a moment again, making Rainbow shiver and clench her legs up.

A door squeaked open, likely the closet. Rainbow shifted her head to the right. What was Daring looking for now? She came back soon but not directly to the restrained pegasus. Something was...by the bed it sounded like...that eventually came with her.

Daring suddenly collided her hips onto Rainbow holes, grabbing her tail in the process. A rubbery length slid along her underbelly, occasionally kissing her sweet spot. Rainbow hissed in ecstasy, which made her master let go of her tail for a moment. She received another quick whipping, her other flank getting some attention this time.

"I said to be quiet."

The tool landed hard on the wood and her chromatic hairs were snagged again. Without warning, a stream of a hot liquid splashed up and down Rainbow's spine. Her wings wanted to rip their way out of the corset. She squirmed and wriggled in biting pain...but oddly, the burning went away almost as quickly as it came. She kept her heavy, panicked breaths to a minimum as she collapsed her face onto the floor between her forelimbs. They were quiet enough for her owner. Said owner then scooped up some of the residue and patted it onto her backside, rubbing it into her fur for good measure. Once Rainbow calmed down, it took all of a second to figure out what was just dumped onto her.

A small scuff of the floor meant the candle holder was put down. Their hips parted, but the hard rubber extension grinded against her holes. Smiling beneath her hood, Rainbow wagged her ass to and fro. Daring grinned as well. Wasting no more time, the phallus parted Rainbow's lips and slowly slid inside her. Her mistress didn't stop until their hips met again. Rainbow's heart nearly skipped a beat as she gradually stood tall on all fours, her back juuuust arching.

With every other thrust, the daredevil's tunnel became wetter. Every time Daring slammed her full weight into her pussy, she fought against groaning in pleasure. She lost the fight from time to time and was punished for it. Her eyes began to roll, still seeing nothing but blackness, despite the stings of the cat-o-nine-tails. She clenched every muscle in her hind legs with each strike. Her cunt wanted to break the toy being pounded into her every time she was disciplined. A few drops of sweat managed to leak out from beneath the mask – with a little drool mixed in.

A set of hooves grabbed tight onto Rainbow's flanks. Daring's pace suddenly doubled. Latex pop-pop-popped against her labia with increasing intensity. Her clit sent jolt after unrelenting jolt through her body with each brush against the merciless strap-on. Rainbow's wings again felt as if they were able to break through their bonds. With every heaving gasp, her belly collapsed and exploded. She could even hear Daring spitting and wheezing as she slammed their bodies together, not interested at the moment with taking the whip to Rainbow's toned ass for any wrongdoing.

Finally, the moment came. Rainbow's head hit the floor. Her body shook and shivered, giving Daring the ultimate reason to bury her toy deep into her soaking, squeezing hole. The speedster's legs quivered up against her commander's, begging to clench shut. A few minutes of climaxing passed, leaving Rainbow physically drained. Daring's fake phallus easily slid out, a few drops of mare-cum falling from its tip. Rainbow was too out of it at the moment to care about the creaking and squealing of leather followed by a few hoofsteps.

The zipper on the back of her head came undone, and the mask and collar were gently removed, the latter tossed aside. It was nice to see...anything again. The cool wood floor was even nicer to lay down on. A bucket of sweat covered Rainbow's face and neck. She didn't even have enough energy to look up to watch Daring trot over to her torture rack and grab the already-wet towel again. No need to risk the hood warping or leaving an unpleasant musk after such use, but she was careful to use one of the dry corners.

She did her best to clean it for the moment. Things were still unfinished, however. The top of one of the arms of the rack was a decent enough place to leave the mask for now as Rainbow needed a bit of attention. Hopefully she didn't need some water, but the Wonderbolt had likely been through other intense workouts before. Maybe not of this type, but that wasn't the point. Daring helped Rainbow Dash to her hooves and got what sweat she could off her stringy blue fur. A deep, blown breath was the only thanks the daredevil could muster.

With a fling of the towel into her bouncy seat, Daring returned to the night stand and fished out the cuffs' keys from the drawer. She undid the fluffy pink bracelets first and then the leg spreader. Rainbow immediately collapsed onto her stomach and bit her lip, relieved to no end that she could finally crunch her legs together. It was a minimal task to clean off the hardened candle wax and undo the corset that had clamped down her servant's wings. The moment they had a chance, they burst into the air, happily flapping a few times before collapsing at her sides.

The pink cuffs were tossed to the side and the spreader was replaced under the bed. With that, Mistress Do strutted into Rainbow's tired line of sight and stood on her hind legs again. After flinging her dominatrix hat aside, she bit into the first of her leather stockings and pulled it off, teeth bared and smiling almost maliciously. After tossing it away, she followed suit with its partner.

Next were the other pair. This time, however, she turned around for Rainbow, bending over to unzip them, all the while maintaining eye contact. She kicked them off and proceeded to unzip her own corset. Once it was off, Daring Do looked back to her exhausted underling and began rubbing her inner thighs, making sure that Rainbow saw how seductively she would stroke and hide her leather underwear. A set of blue wings gradually perked back up.

Above her dock, Daring snapped the panties' button open and sloooowly slid them past her raised tail and down her haunches. Rainbow's eyes widened at such a delectable sight. She would never have imagined she'd be getting such a wild show from one of her idols in her life! Just to drive the sexy point home, Daring took to the air, glided around, slipped one leg out and then flung her underwear off her other hoof and right onto Rainbow Dash's head. Not so subtly, Rainbow took a quick sniff.

The older mare fluttered over to the bed and laid down on top of the waiting, draped towel. "I took care of you. Now you have to take care of me," Daring Do demanded, motioning Rainbow over.

Despite having most of her strength sapped away, Rainbow managed to discard her little gift and crawl up the mattress where Daring's legs were spread and a hoof was attacking her button. Daring Do licked at the air and patted her region; her slave got the hint. She'd just have to remember some things she did some years ago as a teen. At least the practice will be fun!

Taking a deep breath, Daring Do moved her hoof aside and readied herself. Though her approach was one of equal parts unease and curiousness, Rainbow eventually gave in to her demands. Just because she wasn't holding her whip didn't mean she wouldn't set things straight later.

The musk of sweat and heat graced Rainbow's snout the closer she got. While being with a mare had been a one-time thing for her, it was far more intoxicating this time, mostly because of who she was with. Her eager tongue took straight to Daring's taint and climbed up her moist lips. It made a detour, circling around the adventurer's swollen clit a few times before being dragged back down – just not too far down. Rainbow wasn't ready to go there yet.

Her blue forelimbs snaked around Daring's open legs, holding them firmly in place and occasionally giving them a gentle caress, making sure not to get quite too close to the ultimate prize just yet. She began her tongue's next journey at an inner thigh, crawling slowly along her flesh. As she passed Daring's clit, Rainbow pulled back and delicately blew only to continue her oral march across the opposite limb.

A few return trips back and forth had Daring's legs twitching and her wings gradually spreading. It was enough teasing. Rainbow dove in and sucked on the button like a pacifier. Here and there, she'd clamp down with her teeth with a feather's touch and tug at it until it fell from her lips only to consume it again. She drew a figure-eight with her tongue repeatedly, then switched to moving up and down with pinpoint precision. Hissing hard through her teeth, Daring threw her head back ended up squashing Rainbow's skull between her thighs. The Wonderbolt was so proud of herself, smirking while stuck in the vice grip.

Suddenly, Daring Do's went limp, freeing Rainbow from her confinement. She quickly grabbed a blue hoof and patted it, wordlessly asking Rainbow to stop. After a few deep breaths, she commanded, "Let go. There's one last thing you must do."

Rainbow obeyed and Daring sat up, shifting her hips for comfort. Still holding hooves, Daring guided her slave's right up to the dripping entrance. Their eyes met. Daring Do bared another naughty grin. Rainbow blinked. What was she up to now?

It was very slow and very steady. Inch by inch, Daring forced Rainbow's hoof inside her, pausing numerous times to groan and shriek. A leg violently shook as the blue hoof slid nearly completely out and was crammed back inside, further than before. With a few more gradual thrusts, Daring's pussy could swallow up to Rainbow's heel. Another pause came. Loud pants and gasps filled the room. It was taking time, but she was getting used it being stretched apart inside. Just what she needed!

Rainbow's eyes ballooned as Daring pulled her out again and pushed the limits even further. At last, her goal had been reached – the fetlock. By now, it was far easier to jam Rainbow's hoof home, what with everything being completely soaked. Between labored breaths, Daring demanded, "Do it. Hard!"

As she had the entire time, the daredevil did as she was instructed. The slickness was wildly audible as her limb reached deep into Daring's cunt. Her head lurched back and her spine nearly folded in half as she screamed and hollered in maddening gratification. No wonder the mare kept to the outskirts of town!

Daring finally felt a long-forgotten tingle and bit her lip. It was a wonder it didn't bleed. With both hooves, she grabbed onto Rainbow's and rammed it in as hard and far as it could go. Her body let loose with a series of quakes that even the bed itself felt. She growled and snarled and hissed like a monster through bared teeth as she came harder than she could remember. Once she calmed down some, Rainbow pulled away, letting her hoof slide out with ease. Daring twitched again when her clit was brushed against upon exit. In one last response, her pussy happily squirted a few streams of liquid orgasm all over the covered mattress and her striped tail – with a little slapping Rainbow on the chin.

Several minutes passed. Mistress Do's pulse had relaxed for the most part. The only movement she had made was to drape a forelimb over her face and head. She hadn't even bothered yet to wipe herself off yet. All that was in her sight was her own tan fur though she was acutely aware of her wonderful helper laying next to her, staring at the ceiling in pure bliss. That was certainly an experience for the books.

Eventually, Daring sighed and allowed her limb to collapse at her side. Rainbow smiled and glanced her way but didn't get an equal reply. Her idol's mind was still swimming. But that was fine. After how long she said it had been, this wasn't a surprising outcome.

"So what'd you think?" the treasure hunter managed to grunt.

Rainbow Dash chuckled. "You weren't kidding when you said it took a lot."

The tired mare chuckled. "Don't suppose you'd be interested in trying some other things next time? I mean, if you want there to be a next time, of course."

"Heh, I just got finished doing something I never would have imagined doing before this afternoon. Kinda going to need a little time to take it all in, y'know?"

"I understand," Daring replied, nodding. "What time are you leaving in the morning?"

"Train heads out at nine-fifteen."

"Alright! Gives us the rest of the day and all night to–"

"Daring!" Rainbow scolded. They both enjoyed the joke. "Hey...you said before there was somepony before me who knew about all this. How'd that all come about?"

She pursed her lips and gathered her memories. Pointing at her famous trusty leather sidekick, she began her tale.

"You know the whip there? The one I carry when we've gone on adventures and stuff?"

"Yeah."

"It actually belonged to a professor I had back when I was at university. He taught archaeology. The stuff we studied was so fascinating! It's where I first got the lust for what I do. Anyway, I was young and naive, but the professor...we just kind of...clicked, y'know? At least I thought we did at the time. I'd spend extra time in his classroom pretty often, if you know what I mean, and we went out on more than one excursion, just the two of us. Well, I mean, besides his crew that came along for the digs and stuff.

"The whip was a trophy of his that he brought along whenever we'd go hunting for treasures. He got a lot of use out of it – and I don't mean on me either. I hadn't gotten into that sort of thing yet. Eventually, I found out that he was a two-timing bastard that was doing similar things with a couple of his other students. When the semester ended, I transferred to a different university and stole it from his place the last time I saw him. I have no idea if he ever tried to track me down over it, but nothing's ever happened so far, so whatever. Screw him, right?

"Anyway, at this new school, I kind of kept to myself. Didn't want to go through anything like that again. One day, I needed to hit the library to get some info on my geography course." Daring became starry-eyed. A tiny smile found her cheeks. "There was...this mare at the table I sat down at. I didn't know who she was, didn't really see her around campus or anything – not that I made that a habit with anyone. Looking back, I was probably just bitter over what happened with Professor Jerk-off.

"Anyway, I'm going through the stuff and I could hardly find anything I was looking for. She happened to notice that and the books I had and asked if I was looking up some geography stuff. I tell her 'yeah' and she offered to show me some better texts. She said she took the same class the previous semester and remembered which books were really useful. Was super nice of her, so I took her up on it. Her name was Fine Print, and damn, was she fine. I mean, I hadn't been with a mare at that point, but just looking back...yeah, she was smokin' hot. Long, dark brown mane, great body, piercing green eyes, the way she strutted around...mmmph!

"It was nice to meet somepony again. We hung out, did typical college stuff for the rest of the year...and then one day, she asked me to tag along to a party." Daring shrugged hard. "I had never been to a party before, I had no idea what to do. But, she wanted me to come and the pony in charge of the thing didn't protest, so I figured, why not? We both got...massively drunk. It was fun though, I'm not going to deny," she added with a chortle.

"She kissed me first. I responded just like you did before – total shocker. I had no idea what to think but...I wasn't not okay with it. She was pretty good at it too despite being hammered. We went back to her place; she lived off-campus, y'see. She showed me her little collection of...things. It blew my mind; I had zero idea. She convinced me to give some of it a try. She was...in charge at first but not because she really wanted to be. I told her that I was clueless about all that kinky stuff before we got started. Because of that, she wanted to show me how it was done – what to wear, what to use, some of the more fun toys, that kind of thing. I was like, 'Uhhh, okay, I'll give it a try.' I don't know if it was because of what that damn professor did to me and I had some pent up frustration or if there was always something lingering in me that I didn't know about or what, but...by the gods, did I like it! The power, the control...ngh, it was incredible!" She smirked coyly. "She enjoyed it too. I picked up some stuff of my own here and there and hid them away in my dorm, just in case they were ever needed.

"Anyway, she ended up getting a job that cut into a lot of her time. I continued to study archaeology pretty heavily, but we ended up seeing each other only occasionally. Not once did anything about what happened that night ever come up. I guess she must've figured it was a one-time thing in a drunken stupor, so whatever, y'know? Well, I ended up hooking up with a couple guys over the next year. She knew. She wasn't upset or offended or anything, which, looking back, I'm rather surprised. When things got serious with these stallions, I'd invite them over, but when I'd break out the whips and chains, they went running for the hills.

"I thought long and hard about that night after the third guy ran off. Fine Print was graduating a year before me. I had no idea if I was ever going to see her again. A week or so before graduation, we got together and...well, I don't think either of us had cum so hard in our lives. It was at that point that I knew I was into mares.

"She eventually found work at a law firm. We kept in touch and visited each other from time to time, but about four or five months or so before I graduated, I heard about a little something you may have heard of – the Sapphire Stone," she sing-songed. "When I got my hooves on it, I wrote the mare and told her all about what happened. She said it all sounded so awesome, that I should write it down and try to publish it. I gave it a shot and...well, you know the rest. But, thanks to my constant globetrotting and her being so busy with her career and all, we...haven't swapped letters in a few years. She has written to the publisher with each new story – I suppose it's a good work-around – and has loved every book I've written so far, but she juuuust might be a little biased! I asked my publisher in the past to let me know that if there's ever something from her to give it to me directly. It's worked so far, but...still though, y'know?"

"Yeah. That's gotta be pretty rough. She sounds pretty cool," Rainbow said.

Daring nodded sadly. "She was. Still is too. What am I talking about?"

"Wish I could do something for you."

"Hey, don't worry about it! You have, in a way. I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to find some, uh...inspiration for my newest project."

"I don't suppose I could get an autograph when you put it out, eh?" the speedster joked.

"Hah! You already did," Daring quipped right back, adding a wink.

"Oh, fuuuun-ny!" Stretching her back out and wings, Rainbow sat up on the damp towel. "Welp, if it's okay with you, I think I'm gonna hit the shower."

Daring did the same, hopping off the bed. She rolled up the cloth and dried herself off where she could. "Sure, go ahead. I'll head in once you're done. But first, I think I'm going to head to the study, jot down a few things in my head. Don't want to lose them. There are some more towels in the linen closet."

"Cool. I'll see you when I get out!"

With a salute, Daring departed from the bedroom, leaving Rainbow to her chore. After a trot down the stairs, she reached the small library and got comfortable at her large mahogany desk. The typewriter stared back at her. From the top drawer, she pulled out a few notepads and placed them next to the quill holder.

Blowing out a calming breath, she snatched a writing utensil and scribbled the first ideas that came to mind. After a few scenarios where documented, the author paused, happily reminiscing on the day's crazy activities. She set the quill down and opened the bottom left drawer. A scantily-clad cover model smiled back at her. She glanced at the study's doorway. Rainbow was going to be a little while, and she could hear the water running upstairs. She'd be okay for a little while.

Smirking, she found a sheet of paper in the opposite drawer and fed it into the typewriter. There wasn't any reason she couldn't ghost write a little something else. It might be good practice for the real thing too, once she got started. She began with a clichéd beginning she had seen in some of the naughty magazines she occasionally perused.

'Dear Hen House,

You'll never believe what happened to me today...'
