Catharsis

Chapter 4

Vapors

Lying down on a large branch, Gilda observed silently the sturdy pony's approach. The griffin scratched the bark of her claws. "Here is our client..."
Leaping of her perch, Gilda landed a few steps of the equine. She gave him a suspicious look.
"I got your message. What do you want?"
The quiet pony seemed impassive.
"I need your services."
Gilda had a disdainful expression.
"Don't know what you're talking about."
The determined stallion held her gaze. Peeved, the griffin poked at his chest of a sharp talon.
"You seem well-informed. What's your name?"
The brawny pony staying silent, Gilda took a peek at his flank.
"Don't think you can fool me, I'd rip your heart out."
Leaning back on a tree, the leery griffin crossed her forelegs.
"Can you pay? It won't be cheap."
The calm stallion nodding, Gilda had a sceptical look.
"What is your plan then?"
The robust equine talked slowly, in a low voice. the griffin listened attentively, for a long time. In the end she tilted her head with an amused expression.
"You could have more brains than you look."
The griffin gazed at her client.
"I'll need some time."
Spreading her wings, Gilda prepared taking flight.
"What's your name? I'll find out eventually."
The carmine stallion had a resigned sigh.
"Big Macintosh.
— Relax, I don't mess with clients."
The griffin threw him a last look.
"You'd better think twice about that, make sure you won't regret it."
Big Macintosh staying silent, Gilda flapped her wings and rose in the air.
"I'll meet you again soon."
And she disappeared in the cloudy sky.

"You look great today..."
Fluttershy had a kind smile. Rarity smiled back at her with a sigh.
"Thanks Darling."
The dispirited unicorn could not help wondering what was taking over her. "How could you do something so stupid..."
However, despite all her efforts, Rarity could not figure a way to set things right. She had thought about it again and again, yet her mind remained desperately blank.
Lotus' distinctive accent made itself heard.
"Is the temperature at your convenience?"
Fluttershy seemed thoughtful.
"Perhaps... I think... a little warmer could be good?"
The timid pegasus turned to Rarity with an interrogative look. The indifferent unicorn had a distracted smile.
"Yes, of course Darling."
At least she had Pinkie to distract her of her ruminations. The pink mare had been surprisingly discreet as to her nascent relationship. Pinkie and her constant attention, her audacious caresses...
Rarity had been disconcerted to discover the hyperactive pony was far more experienced than she could have ever figured out... not that it was a bad thing.
Although her recent visit to Pinkie Pie had led to the most sensual lovemaking, other pleasures had succeeded to their delightful embrace. The audacious confectioner had taken good care of preparing an impressive amount of delicacies for the evening, and the two lovers had exchanged sweet treats and caresses late into the night. Pinkie Pie herself had seemed to outstretch her limits, gobbling down an absurd amount of desserts before collapsing heavily on her bed, breathing with difficulty. Coming from Pinkie, a view surprising enough to make Rarity worried for her friend's health. The perplexed unicorn could not help but wonder how the chubby mare was not much more than merely chubby, and how she would be able to not be sick after such extravagances. Although she was not completely clueless on the matter, she preferred avoid such worrying thoughts.
Rarity rubbed her lean flank with a sigh. "Rarity, you really have to watch yourself this time..."
Comforted by the gluttonous pony example, Rarity herself had feasted on the succulent sweets much more than she would want to admit. Her day off has not been too much to recover of her excesses.
The time passed with Pinkie had been a delicious moment, yet Rarity was apprehending the evening to come. They had agreed to meet again tonight, and the sweet-toothed unicorn had no doubt her friend would have prepared numerous treats for the occasion. As much as she loved Pinkie's confections, Rarity could not help but feel guilt when her craving for sugar overwhelmed her. She had succeeded to keep control over it for such a long time, and now it was back with her recent anxiety. It was so comfortable to give in to Pinkie's caresses and sweets, forgetting all her worry for a fleeting instant.
Fluttershy's hesitant voice interrupted her thoughts.
"You didn't say much today... is everything fine?
Rarity had a surprised expression.
"Yes Darling."
Tilting her head, the ivory unicorn sighed.
"It's just... I realized I have some important things to do, I have to quit you earlier today. You won't hold it against me?"
Fluttershy had a kind smile.
"Of course."
Rarity hugged her with a smile.
"You are a real friend. You stay here and let Aloe and Lotus take care of you , I will not permit you waste your afternoon because of me!"
Fluttershy seemed mildly embarrassed by this sudden display of affection.
"Hmm... yes..."
The wet unicorn got out of the water; Lotus rushed to her most faithful customer with a thick towel and a comfortable bathrobe.
"Lotus, I have to cut short my visit. You have to promise me Aloe and you will provide the best care to Fluttershy!"
Lotus acquiesced with a smile.
"Naturally Miss Rarity."
Rarity addressed a cheerful goodbye at her friend as she got ready to leave the spa.

Lotus whispered in Aloe's ear.
"Do we have any other client booked for today?
— No, we had quite a slow day."
The turquoise mare stared at Fluttershy. The silent pegasus was immobile, stretched out on a massage table. Aloe observed her at her turn, perplexed.
"She seems quite tense... do you want me to take care of her?"
Lotus nodded her assent with a smile.
"I'll change the towels meanwhile."
Coming near Fluttershy, Aloe spoke to her with her peculiar inflection.
"I can see tension in these shoulders. You should take some time for you Miss Fluttershy."
Interrupted in her thoughts, the pegasus startled.
"Oh, I can't... winter approaches... I have to make sure all the critters have a shelter and provisions."
Aloe caught a bottle of massage oil and poured a generous quantity on Fluttershy's back.
"It seems like a great responsibility."
As the sensitive pegasus shivered, her masseuse stopped.
"I'm sorry, is it too cold?"
Fluttershy readjusted her eye mask with a smile.
"No... I just got surprised..."
Aloe massaged the pegasus' slender back with careful pressions, running her hooves along her spine. The pink mare's hooves moved to Fluttershy's shoulders, kneading the contracted muscles.
"Can you feel these nodes here and here?
— Yes..."
Aloe leaned over the tense pegasus, intensifying her movements.
"One of these days you could wake up with a stiff neck, we have to take care of that."
Fluttershy nodded with a timid smile. Aloe observed her with interest.
"Please spread your wings a little Miss Fluttershy."
As she complied, her masseuse ran her hooves over the pegasus' exposed flanks.
"You have a delicate constitution, such tensions could impair your flight.
— Oh, I don't fly much..."
Aloe smiled, pouring oil on Fluttershy's tender rump. The pink mare massaged the soft flesh with care.
"This is a shame, I can guess you're flying very gracefully".
Blood rushed to Fluttershy's face.
"Oh, not really..."
Running her hooves over the pegasus' hind legs, Aloe quickly moved up, kneading the smooth thighs insistently. Fluttershy let out a contended sigh as her wings spread imperceptibly. Passing by, Lotus watched the scene with curiosity. Aloe waving at her, the turquoise pony promptly returned to her occupations.
"Could you please turn over Miss Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy complying, Aloe massaged her forelegs with consideration.
"You don't use any kind of skin care?"
The pegasus faintly shook her head. Her masseuse had an admirative expression.
"You have a great natural complexion."
Pouring oil on Fluttershy's chest, Aloe massaged her soft pelt in slow circular movements. She moved her hooves to her client's flat stomach, rubbing in the ointment. As the canary pegasus flapped her wings lightly, her masseuse fluttered her eyelashes with a smile.
"Does it feels good?"
Fluttershy let out a pleased sigh.
"Yes... I feel much better now."
Aloe had a satisfied tone.
"Should I go on?"
Fluttershy nodding her agreement, her masseuse grabbed a bottle of cream and poured some on her hooves.
"Please lie on your stomach Miss Fluttershy. This body heat lotion should do wonder on your tensions."
Complying, the pegasus turned over. As Aloe ran her hooves on her back, Fluttershy took a deep breath.
"It... heats up..."
The masseuse stopped, a concerned expression on her face.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
Fluttershy smiled, flapping her wings again.
"No... it feels great..."
Reassured, Aloe resumed her movements. Her hooves passing on Fluttershy's small of the back lingered on her splendid rump, massaging the appealing croup. Slowly spreading her wings, the relaxed pony let out a discreet grunt. Encouraged by the sensitive mare's reaction, her masseuse turned her attention to her inner thighs, caressing the tender flesh with application. The pink mare slowly moved up along Fluttershy's legs; this one stifled a shocked gasp. Aloe seemed anxious.
"Did I do something inappropriate?"
Fluttershy turned on her back and took off her eye mask, a confused expression on her face.
"No... it's just...
— Yes?"
"I wasn't expecting..."
Aloe laid a hoof on Fluttershy's foreleg.
"I'm so sorry Miss Fluttershy, you're not angry at me?"
Fluttershy lowered her gaze, embarrassed. The blushing pony's voice was reduced to a whisper.
"No... I think... I think I liked it..."
Aloe had a relieved smile.
"I'm so glad! Be assured everything happening here is strictly confidential."
Fluttershy raised her head timidly.
"Really?"
Aloe wore a playful expression.
"Of course. Should we resume your session?"
The gentle pegasus acquiescing with a smile, Aloe leaned over her, pressing her lips against hers. The practiced mare caressed of an expert hoof Fluttershy's discreet teats; the excitement rising in her, the delicate mare closed her eyes and let herself go to the skilled care of her dedicated masseuse. Slipping her hoof between the pegasus' thighs, she rubbed it gently against the pony's delicate pink slit; Fluttershy let out a faint moan as a small drop of her love juices dripped on the massage table.
Aloe's attention was suddenly distracted by Lotus' presence, staring at her sternly, forelegs crossed. The turquoise pony silently enjoining her sibling to join her, Aloe spoke hastily to Fluttershy.
"Please excuse me an instant! Don't move a hoof, I'll be back in a minute!"

Lotus' eyes was glittering with fire as she reprimanded Aloe.
"How can you be so careless? We can't take that kind of risk!"
Aloe wore a crestfallen expression.
"Lotus, Miss Fluttershy is so kind... she wouldn't cause us troubles."
Lotus seemed skeptical.
"Did she ask for your favors?"
Aloe was clearly embarrassed; her sister rolled her eyes.
"We can't take that kind of risk!"
Putting her foreleg around Lotus' waist, Aloe spoke on a conciliatory tone.
"Lotus... everything will be fine."
Smiling at her sister, the pink mare fluttered her eyelashes seductively.
"The way you stared at her... you want her, isn't it?"
Lotus ducked her head with a sigh.
"Is it so obvious?"
Aloe smiled saucily.
"Let me take care of that, just join us in a minute."
Resigned, Lotus smiled back at her, and the siblings exchanged a light kiss.

Sitting on the massage table, a towel held tight against her, Fluttershy seemed apprehensive.
"Your sister..."
Aloe daintily removed the thick towel of the pegasus' hooves, wearing an engaging smile.
"Wanted to be sure I take good care of you. You wouldn't mind if she joined us, would you?"
Troubled, Fluttershy lowered her voice.
"I don't know... I..."
Aloe ran her hooves over the pegasus' soft chest, her smile broadening.
"You know you can count on our absolute discretion."
Tempted by Aloe's expert caresses, Fluttershy looked at her nervously.
"Should we really..."
Sitting behind her, the pink mare massaged the pegasus' back of her hooves.
"You have nothing to worry about Miss Fluttershy."
Aloe slightly raised her voice.
"Lotus?"
Lotus entered in the room, a humble smile on her face.
"Are you enjoying your stay Miss Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy ducked her head.
"Yes..."
Lotus came near the uneasy pegasus.
"My sister told me she could use my help."
Fluttershy looked at her hesitantly.
"I.."
Gently holding the pegasus' flanks, Aloe whispered in her ear.
"Miss Fluttershy, just relax yourself..."
Lotus' hooves joined her sister's ones on Fluttershy's flanks. The turquoise mare leaned toward the pegasus, brushing of her lips the angelic muzzle. Pressing herself against Fluttershy's back, Aloe clasped her as she caressed her perfect skin. Becoming bolder, Lotus slipped her smooth tongue between Fluttershy's lips. The pegasus closed her eyes, her wings slowly spreading as the spa ponies' soft skin was rubbing against hers. Fluttershy's graceful ears twitched as Aloe's playful tongue was titillating them. Lotus and Fluttershy's muzzles parted as the spa pony leaned over the pegasus' chest, kissing lightly her sleek pelt glistening of ointment. Abandoning Fluttershy's ears, Aloe turned her attention to her gracile neck, showering it with kisses. Moving her muzzle to the pegasus' gorgeous stomach, Lotus brushed of her lips her lovely belly button. Aloe joined her forelegs to Fluttershy's ones, caressing them of their hooves. Torn between her embarrassment and the irresistible excitement growing in her, the nervous mare was remaining petrified, her breathing quickening as the twins' caresses were becoming more pressing. Perceiving Fluttershy's anxiety, Aloe spoke on a concerned tone.
"Lotus, she's all tense again..."
Lotus stood up slowly, wearing a regretful expression.
"You're right... is there a problem Miss Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy looked away, ill at ease.
"It's... all so sudden..."
Joining her sister, Aloe whispered to her ear.
"We could have been a little too forthright..."
Lotus had a contrite sigh.
"Yes, I probably have been too enthusiastic..."
Nodding, Aloe leaned over Fluttershy, gently pushing the pegasus' chest of her hooves.
"Please lie down Miss Fluttershy..."
This one complying, Aloe caressed her soft pelt with a cajoling smile.
"I want you to look at me..."
Fluttershy acquiescing, Aloe held her and kissed her lightly for long seconds. Comforted by her masseuse's attentions, the shy mare progressively relaxed, surrendering to the twins' daring advances. Sidling on the massage table, Lotus ran her muzzle on the pegasus' legs, slowly moving up along her thighs. Aloe's kisses becoming more pressing, she forced her way through Fluttershy's lips, their tongues mingling as they were exchanging a languishing glance. Coming close to the pegasus' inner thighs, Lotus kissed delicately her enticing pussy. As Fluttershy was seized by a faint twitch she got wet again; the turquoise mare had a taste of her light flavors, reminiscent of peach and wild berries. Parting her muzzle from the pegasus' one, Aloe smiled at her as she ran a hoof along her lean stomach. Fluttershy breathing quickened as the spa pony rubbed lazily her love button, a trickle of her love juices dripping of her. The aroused mare closed her eyes, soft moans escaping her as Aloe's caresses became more and more pressing. Pushing aside her sister's hoof, Lotus licked eagerly Fluttershy's blushing pussy. The adorable pegasus stifled a cry as her womb fiercely contracted, waves of pleasure submerging her, all her tensions disappearing in an overwhelming orgasm. Pressing her muzzle against Fluttershy's swollen love lips, Lotus slipped her tongue deep in the climaxing mare, making sure not a drop coming out of her charming pink slit could escape her. Caressing the pegasus' silky mane, Aloe accompanied her as she slowly emerged from her ecstasy. Achieving to lick clean Fluttershy's delicious pussy, Lotus slithered on her, kissing her fierily. The timid mare blushed as the twins embraced her in unison.

"Could you stand please?"
Smiling, Lotus rubbed Fluttershy's tummy in soft circular movements.
"Good, let's take care of your mane now."
The spa pony applied delicately the shampoo on the pegasus' wet mane, rubbing it of her hooves. Aloe nagged her sister.
"Lotus, don't forget her tail."
Lotus chid Aloe, pointing at Fluttershy's back.
"I don't forget AND there is still soap there."
Pouting, Aloe showered the pegasus' pelt. Fluttershy seemed worried.
"We... we won't have troubles for..."
The pink mare gave her an engaging smile.
"Not as long as it stays between us Miss Fluttershy."
Lotus had a charmed expression.
"It isn't a service for you Miss Fluttershy, it's a satisfaction."
Fluttershy smiled back at them.
"Please... just call me Fluttershy."
Lotus' eyes sparkled.
"I am so glad!"
Her sister corrected her with an impudent tone.
"WE are so glad."
Lotus ignored her.
"You should come visit us more often, it will always be a pleasure for us to give you personalized care!"
Aloe whispered in her sister's ear.
"Are you sure? The other clients pay for these services..."
Frowning, Lotus whispered back to her.
"Shush you!"
Aloe rolled her eyes.
"You weren't so enthusiast an hour ago..."
Fluttershy looks confused.
"You don't argue because of..."
Lotus dug in her sister's flank.
"Not at all!"
Fluttershy had a timid smile.
"I wouldn't mind... but..."
Lotus stood enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, you can come with Miss Rarity! Aloe will provide her usual care while I'm entirely at your disposal!"
Giving a gasp of horror, Aloe hissed in her sister's ear.
"I'll make you pay for this."
The timid pegasus seemed troubled.
"I... I need to think about it..."
Untangling Fluttershy's mane, Lotus wore a confident smile...

"Would you like some tea Darling?"
"Yes, thanks..."
Rarity poured Fluttershy a cup of tea.
"Did it go well?"
Fluttershy had a faint smile.
"Yes..."
Rarity helped herself a slice of pecan pie.
"I knew you were in good hooves, Lotus and Aloe are truly skilled mares."
Nibbling on her portion, Rarity had a pleased expression.
"Delicious!"
Her own plate cleaned, Pinkie Pie took a second helping.
"I told you!"
Rarity had a disapproving look.
"Pinkie, leave some for Fluttershy!"
Fluttershy took a sip of tea and smiled.
"I'm not that hungry..."
Her mouth full, Pinkie Pie pointed a plate filled with pastries.
"This seems pretty good too."
Rarity had a vexed sigh.
"Pinkie, please be reasonable!"
Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes.
"Just a minute... you worry FAR too much!"
