The Aftermath of the Journey
By the time you reach the hut in this part of the woods, the night rolls over and the night sky begins to illuminate, stars filling it and twinkling in unison with one another. It'd actually be a very beautiful scene, had you actually been focusing on it rather than the inflammation in your arm.
"Come on! Get in here!" Daring says, quickly opening the door and allowing you entry into her small cabin, basically ransacked from the days hence your adventure. "I'm trying... It isn't easy to considering how there's a six inch hole in my freakin' arm though..." You say, hobbling into the room and making your way immediately onto the couch, throwing yourself into it and begin to apply pressure to the wound. "Believe me, I'm fully aware of your difficulty." Daring says, making her way up a staircase to Celestia knows where. "Hold on to that wound for a little, I think I should have some bandages somewhere around here." She says, to which you quickly here the sound of her opening and closing every door and drawer for the next three minutes. Oh my Celestia, I'm gonna die in here... Are your only thoughts as the blood manages to turn the black material on your hoof into a blood red material and begin to drop little droplets of the substance to the ground. "Think you can hurry up with those bandages?" You say, grinding your teeth together in the vain hope of numbing the pain in your arm. Almost immediately, the adventuring Pegasus flys down from the stairs and immediately towards you, various substances being held against her body, but the only real item you care about are the bandages.
"Okay..." Daring begins, placing down all the items next to her before continuing on and taking a seat next to you, "I figure that the gash is gonna need some cleaning before we bandage it up. So, let's do that first..." She says, grabbing a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol, pouring the substance on the swab, and begins to clean the wound. All the time, the chemical begins to burn the wound and making the pain in your arm go up twice fold for a while, but decline as soon as it began. After swabbing the rubbing alcohol on the wound, she takes another swab and quickly sets to work at cleaning it before moving on to sewing it up. The entire time you watch her at work, you can't help but smile at her beautiful face cutely stick out her tongue with a determined look in her eye, sweat barely forming on her head.
It's both funny and cute to see her work away like this at you. A little calming too.
"Okay... I think that should be it..." Daring says as she finishes sewing your left arm up, which both of you just know is going to leave a nasty scar in the future. "All that's left is just to wrap the bandage on you."
"I'm surprised that you managed to do so well with the cut. Did you learn how to do that in classes or something...?" You say as you watch her begin to encase your arm in the bandaging. "No... When your an adventurer like me it's just something you pick up." She says, raising her wing up to reveal to you a nasty cut there. "That was from a sword fight with a couple of goons." She says, taking a quick glance at it before raising her shirt just towards her stomach to reveal another scar. "And this bad boy was a quick slice for one of those damned cats working for Ahuizotl. Real bad. Blood just pouring everywhere and..."
"Okay! I get it!" You say, trying to that thought out of your head. Her eyes turning from your wound to your eyes, or more specifically, the lenses covering your eyes. "Didn't know that you were such a delicate Lilly..." She responds in a sarcastic tone. "No. It's just that I've also had some bad run ins with other ponies I've fought before. Thought of blood right now isn't very pleasing to me."
"Oh really?" She says, tightening up the bandage and shift all her attention towards you, her head now rested on her hooves as she gives you a seductive look. "Tell me about a couple." You shake your head and give off a quick chuckle before going on. "Okay... Well, first one I ever got was during a boxing match to get some info outta couple punks. Sure enough, one of them had a knife and got me in my left wing..." You say, raising it to show a stab wound right in the middle of wing. "Honestly, it's a miracle that I managed to keep my ability to fly. Blade went right into the wing."
"And...?" She says as she lifts herself onto the couch next to you, to you gladly take her in your arms, Daring placing her hat on top of your head. "Well..." You continue as you stare back at her, her lips contorting a devilish smile as you go on. "I have a magic burn on my back from this one mare. I have a couple of nicks on my hind legs after falling off that hill after I joined you. And... Oh! The stab marks in my right side stomach and hind leg."
"So four?"
"Good counting skills..." You say with a smile, to which she simply chuckles herself before turning back to you, the moonlight bouncing off her eyes, almost making her magenta eyes seem like two perfectly craft jewels. "What...?" She asks as her smile once again reappears as she finds herself lost in your eyes. You smile. "I was just thinking to myself..."
"That can't be good..." She says as the distance between you two closed ever so slowly. You chuckle before continuing on. "I was just thinking about how beautiful you are..."
"Cliché much?"
"I mean it." You say after another chuckle. "I know it's just been a couple weeks, but I mean it when I say I have feelings for you. Strong ones."
"Oh really...?" She says in a soft tone, her eyelids now halfway closed as she stares at you and her smile retaining the seduction you know her well for. "Yeah... Really..." You respond, the distance between you two now ever so thin that you can feel her breath against your mouth. "Well..." She begins, placing her left hoof against the back of your head and the right hoof on the crack of the mask, raising it to reveal your lips to her, "How about you show me how much you really like me..." She says in a near whisper as the small distance between your lips begins to close. You comply with her and help her wanting lips to come to your own, closing the distance between you both as her lips begin to close themselves down on your own. She's a tease...
Sure enough however, the sound of a bell from a nearby clock goes off, to which you rest your head back down on a pillow and Daring Do lets out a groan, slamming her head down on your chest as she does so. "Sorry..." She says, giving you a very clearly embarrassed smile, preparing herself to get up, "I keep the alarm on the clock going to remind myself that I gotta finish a new story after an adventure."
"That was a couple weeks ago when we started though!"
"Hey! What can I say. It's all about clock work. Give myself some time to recover and then it's straight on to writing. It's a living..."
"Show off..." You say as you smile at her, gripping on the folded back fabric and pulling it back down to preserve your identity. "Whatever. Just give a little bit to finish the thing..." Daring says as she finally rises from the couch, setting all four of her hooves on the ground, reaching the door to the next room before looking behind her to look at you. "And then, I'm all yours..." She concluded, giving you another seductive look before heading into the next room, waving her hips back and forth as her tail swung in the same pattern. Tease...
***************************************
About two and a half hours since Daring left you on the couch, and nothing. You figured some time ago that she must've been really deep into finishing this latest book, and decided just to head outside and keep a watchful eye out, along with admire the now sherbet colors of the sky above, indicating the sun was about to rise and you both got zero sleep. Figuring you'd just head home and try to catch some sleep there, you take one last look at the sky before heading back into Daring's cottage and find her to let her know your plans to just return home. Especially considering how most of your desire for intimacy with her has now been exchanged for the blistering feeling of heat going through your arm right now.
What's the point of sleeping with somepony when you want to cut off your own arm with one of your many knives?
Making it into the cottage you quickly make your way into the room next to her living room, which as it had turned out was a pathetically small kitchen. At the table, sleeping as quiet as a mouse was the beauty herself, a typewriter in front of her and her forearms propped under her head, her chest rising a falling every so often. As you remove her hat from your head, you place the hat back on to her head before taking her up in your arms ever so carefully. When you finally get her in your arms, not only are you surprised by how much this isn't really affecting your arm too much, but you discover that during some time she wrapped up her left wing in a bandage. Must've broken it, you think to yourself as you fly upstairs and try your damnedest to find her bedroom, only to find everything that isn't a bedroom, which include her bathroom, a private study, and presumably an area where she washes her clothing. Eventually, you do find her bedroom, which is just really a simple blue colored room and a white bed frame, with a very soft looking blue blanket.
Strange, you never took her for the blue type...
Placing Daring Do on the bed, you make your way to a nearby closet, grab any random blanket (in this case, a purple blanket that's almost as soft as a cloud) and throw it over her, gentle tucking her in for her apparently needed rest. Daring completely tucked in, you take her head in your hooves and give her a quick peck on her temple, smiling as you give one last look at her peacefully sleeping face. "Good night..." You whisper, setting her head back down on the pillow carefully and begin to make your way to the door and exit the premises.
Although you are leaving heavy hearted, yearning to be with her just a bit more, romantically or not, you can't help but feel happy that you did get to meet her, happy that your adventure wasn't shared alone, and happy that you, at the very least, could come to call her your friend. For so long, you've felt utterly alone in this great big world. Meeting her... It's actually changed you a bit, made you feel... Better... Among all the calamity in your life, the people who've changed on you for the worst, she probably the only bright light in your life as it stands. Hopefully, this won't be the last time you both do this.
As you open the door, the sound of a cracking wipe rings through the room, shutting the door behind in front of you before wrapping around your left arm and drawing your attention to the whip master, the mare with a tan shirt and an explorers hat, giving you a determined smile. "Did I say you could leave...?" She says, pulling on the whip very softly and making you roll your eyes behind the lenses of your mask. "You didn't exactly say anything to be specific. You're very quite when your asleep..." You say in the most snarky way possible. "Then you should take that as a sign..." Daring responds, giving another tug on the whip, this time stronger. Catching her drift, you gently Scot yourself closer to her with a quick role of your eyes. "That what? I should have sex with you during your sleep?"
"Hmm... No..." Another tug, this one more strong, to which you leap closer to her. "Because I would've woken up."
"You were dead asleep."
"I'm awake now..." Another tough tug, you shuffle closer. "You sure?" You say with another smile. She gives you a devilish smile, and pulls as hard as possible, catching off your guard as you land next to her on the bed, where she unwraps the whip from your arm and around your neck before swiftly making her way on top of you, setting herself up on your chest and pulling up on the whip, making you raise your head up close to her own, your eyes shut from the air leaving your lungs. As you open your eyes, you discover that the whip doesn't close up your wind pipe, and the mare looks down at you with a highly seductive look on her face. "Oh... I'm sure... And let's get one thing clear..." She begins, tapping your nose with the tip of her hoof after 'clear'. "If we're gonna make this work, I call the shots..."
"That'll be a cold day in hell..." You say, gripping the rope around your neck in the hopes that she won't tighten it up and close up your wind pipes. "Oh... Honey... Didn't you know? I always get what I want..." She says in the most seductive way possible, her eyes half lidded as she stares into you eyes. "Not everypony can get what they want..." You respond in a cool way, another smile accompanying it. "I do..."
"Prove it."
"Oh I intend on it..." She says, resting her hat on your head once again, and proudly displaying her tongue. Oh she's not going to... You think to yourself, quickly being proven wrong as she drags her tongue gently from the middle of your chin and begins dragging it up, passing by your lips, nose, and eyes, before coming to a complete halt at the visor of the hat. Rising from your face, she reveals a devilish smile that immediately brings to life the warmth behind your pants. "Wow... Looks like it's gonna be easy to get what I want from you..." She says as she drags her hoof across your crotch, measuring your length. "I'm not gonna let it be that easy..." You say, trying your hardest not to let her think she is truly in control of this relationship.
She laughs before continuing. "I'm counting on it..." With that, she takes the whip in her right hoof and begins to raise the fabric from your mask to reveal your lips before setting her lips upon yours and embracing them, her tongue desperate to gain entry into your mouth, which you gladly apply by allowing said entrance, where your tongues fight for dominance over the other. You try your hardest to make sure that you're in control, but in the end it doesn't mean a thing and her tongue reaches its way down your throat, where it remains until it's had enough, retreating back into her own mouth as she leaves your lips and stares at you with the same devilish gaze and smile, wiping away the saliva from your mouth and then hers.
If only you had a little sleep you could've put up more of a fight...
"I told you, I'm in control here..."
"You're just lucky I didn't get too much sleep last night..." You say as the cool air passes your mouth, "Otherwise, I'd be putting up more."
"Oh really?" She said, still looking at you with the same seductive gaze. "Yeah..." You say, quickly grabbing her rear end and gaining the upper hoof on her as you now slink your way on top of Daring, seating yourself right on top of her chest. "Really"
You say before driving your lips against hers, catching Daring off guard before she closes her eyes and placing her hooves on your cheeks to trap your face from leaving her's. Quickly, your tongue makes its way into her mouth and fights against her own tongue, making her moan as they fight for dominance with one another until eventually the fighting ceases. And once the fighting ceases, your tongues begin to dance with one another, making Daring moan once again in your mouth.
You smile as your tongues continue their rhythmic dance with one another. You never figured her to be the moaning type...
Eventually, the dance concludes as you raise your head, opening your eyes and seeing Daring Do copy your exact movement, resting her head down on the pillow and opening her eyes to reveal her beautifully shimmering magenta eyes. At first, her lips only reveal her teeth in a very thin white line, but it quickly contorts into a small smile.
A shy smile. "That was good..." She said, her shy smile still being retained as her gaze shifts from you to your right on the floor. "Yeah... It was..." You says, light breathing as you continue to gaze at her face, taking in every intricate feature before being surprised by the rising cost of pink on her cheeks. She's blushing? You think to yourself, the amazing Daring Do is actually blushing?!
"Hey... What...?" She said, noticing you staring at her for a little longer than can be considered comfortable. You shake your head before offering a devilish smile to Daring. You're going to enjoy this... "Nothing... Just watching your pinks turn 50 shades of red..." That phrase earns you a quick slap on the face, making your cheek light up in its own shade of pink. Daring lets out a quick laugh before going on.
"And now you do too. Not very special is it...?" She says, gaining the upper hoof on you and turning the tables, once again resulting with Daring seated right on top of you and her whip rung around her stomach. Barely catching yourself from that incredible show of speed, you let out a quick exhale of breath and look up at the mare, now showing off the devilish smile that you've come so accustomed to now. "So... Now what're you gonna do?"
"Whatever I want..." She says, bringing her hoof down your length once more before pulling down your pants, allowing your colt hood to feel the outside air. Looking back, she gives it a pleasant rub on the softer skin, smiling as she feels its firmness in her hoof. "Wow... You really want this, don't you?" She says, turning back to face you while giving your shaft a couple soothing rubs. "I dunno, what do you think?"
"Heh... I think that after this, your mine..." Daring responds, bring her hoof off your length and up to your right cheek. Bingo! You think to yourself, turning the tables on her and resting yourself on top of Daring, smiling at yourself for your reflexes. If five years worth of fighting has taught you some very important life lessons, but if it taught you one thing, it's that reflexes are the most important thing to improve upon and stay six steps ahead of the enemy. "Other way around..." You say, slowly placing your length into Daring, making her exhale from your sex gaining entrance into her, before she begins to hyperventilate.
But you haven't even begun yet...
Oh Celestia she's having a panic attack!
Quickly, you make your way out of her sex and wrap your arms and wings around her, desperately trying to calm her down as you run your hoof down her mane and-
"Gah!" You shout, as she throws you under her once again and breaks into a complete laughter. "What the hell!?"
"What the hell yourself! I never gave you permission to do that!"
"But yaaaaaaaaaaa...!" You scream as your words dissolve into a groan as your sex meets with the mare's own, to which she also lets out a quick moan. "It's always a nice gesture of a stallion to let a mare start first after all..." Daring says as she begins to bounce up and down from you, her entrance clamping down on you and very much refusing to let go. Not like you were complaining to begin with, however. Taking your left hoof, you take Daring by her cheek and bring her soft lips down to yours, quickly making contact with them as you take your right hoof and place it on her right butt cheek, giving it a firm squeeze and electing another moan from the beautiful explorer. Soon after the squeeze, you find Daring grinding against you, her hungry pussy taking in more and more of you with each and every second. You open your mouth to allow her tongue entrance into it, and soon your tongues resume their dance with Daring's and your moaning as the music.
You're in heaven. The most beautiful mare you've ever met is wrapped in your arms and wings, fucking you like no tomorrow and dancing with your tongue like the dance you had shared earlier on your adventure, slow but blissful. Soon you find yourself thrusting in and out of Daring, her moans increasing in volume with every thrusting gesture, with you doing the same as the walls around your colt hood tighten and making you moan as you feel yourself come close to finishing inside her. And then it hits you... She wants you to cum first... That's how she's going to prove that she's in control of this.
You mentally smile at this notion. She isn't gonna win that easy...
Taking your hoof, you glide down her body to the point where her sweet little mare hood is and begin caressing it in the most sexual way possible, making her moans grow ever louder. Thank Celestia that no pony can hear any of you this far into the woods, you think to yourself as you continue to caress her mare hood, watching her shut her eyes extremely hard to prevent herself from finishing first. She's a stubborn mare, and you give her credit for that as you slam yourself in and out of her to make her cum quicker, the only sign that she's going to being the sweat forming on her head. Eventually, you get tired of her unwillingness to cooperate and give her ass a nice squeeze.
And apparently, it works.
She lets out a long and drawn out moan as a torrent of mare juices come forth from her and drip down your length, smelling almost like strawberries as it begins to fill the room.
It becomes too much for you, and soon you pull out from her and let your own cum fly over her stomach, standing out in color against her fur as it begins to dry and glue you both together. With your head resting on top of her's, you're both panting heavily, and you really do begin to wish you at least got some sleep before doing this.
After all, you hadn't had much sleep since you both met.
Out of nowhere, Daring places a kiss on your lips, laughing a little as she continues to pant. "You were... Pretty good..." She said, your response coming quicker to you than anything else in your entire life.
"I win." You say as you return the favor and face towards her, giving her a solid kiss before pulling your mask back down. As you do face her, you realize that her cheeks are a crimson red, which is an odd sight for you considering how you never took her for the type to just blush after sex. "Like hell..." She said as she trailed her hoof down to your cum and taking up a bit of it, before dragging her hoof across your mask and laughing.
Son of a bitch, that's not gonna come out, you think to yourself as you attempt in vain to try and clean it up, but to no avail as it dries and becomes a permanent stain on your black mask, all the while, Daring is laughing hysterically. "You just did that because you won't admit that you lost." You say as you look back at her, seeing her drag her tongue across her hoof, taking up your seed and licking up the remaining bits. "Oh yeah...?" She asks seductively before placing both her hooves on your shoulders, "Tell you what? How about we both get some rest, and I'll show you just how hard it is to get me to finish."
"Really?" You ask, pretending to be unimpressed. "Yeah. I could use the challenge from a stallion as good lookin' as you." She said, putting yet another kiss on your lips, now covered by your mask. "And, a little sex before another adventure sounds pretty good."
"Another adventure alone?" You ask.
"Not if you're up to it." She said as she gave you a hug, wrapping her wings around you to keep you from going up. "I thought the great Daring Do worked alone." You say after a quick chuckle, which she quickly replies with a giggle of her own, which was almost as cute as her blush. "Not until she met you..." She said, smirking slightly, and after another chuckle, you respond. "Yeah, another one couldn't hurt me any worse than this one did."
"If I had a bit for all the times I said that, I'd be as rich as a Canterlot widow." She said, running her hoof down to your hoof and gripping it, giving it a caring squeeze. "So, it's a date?"
"Yeah..." She said as she began to close her eyes, "it's a date..."
Author's Note
Depending on how well this one does, I may or may not make the actual, quote on quote, journey, a story that will stand as a prequel to this.
