Clouds Swallow The Moon

XI. Trust

Eclipse was now soaked completely due to the ongoing water streaming from the shower, her pristine white coat matted and dampened, her soft and elegant fur clinging to the curves of her body, showing off both the tight and soft aspects of her form. A few secondary feathers ruffled and separated themselves from her long, luxurious wings, gliding towards the tiled floor of the shower space. The pegasus shook her head majestically, the silky smooth strands of her black mane flying through the air, droplets of water being discarded from her hair. Oh, and her eyes, my favorite part of her. The way they shimmer in any light, and illuminate in any darkness, the color of her eyes promising hope and both despair; it reflected her personality.

I kept my lips sealed and together, not allowing a word to pass through them, as I sat there lazily on my plot in the middle of the shower space, the warm, steaming water cascading directly on me, like a single ray of light. I lowered my eyelids until darkness encompassed my vision as the sound of the shower spitting out an endless river of liquid echoed in my only functional ear, lingering inside as I sighed in content, a warm smile gracing my lips as I basked in the welcoming stream of water. Letting my thoughts drift throughout my mind like they're stuck in a long current, I allowed my emotions to take a back seat as I enjoyed the position I’m currently in, electing to worry about my problems after this paradise is over and done.

I hummed drunkenly to myself subconsciously, the vibrations in my muzzle sending pleasant vibes through my head, my hooves clip-clopping on the floor in steady rhythm with the humming, swinging my head back and forth slightly in tune to the sloppy humming reverberating in the shower space. Hiccups interrupted my musical, barely, humming and sent air through my nostrils, my muzzle never opening up unless it was to let a sigh out into the air. The accumulated steam exiting out of the shower head alongside the steady stream of water sent a warm sensation through my body, sweat beginning form on my fur in small beads, but whatever sweat that slid down my body was quickly washed away from the endless supply of liquid.

I lifted my eyelids slowly and lazily, blinking away the tears that desperately wanted to claw their way out of my eyes and slide down my cheeks. I was met with the sight of Eclipse squirting a small amount of shampoo into the frog of her hoof, the substance appearing as a dull white that glistened in the light of the medium-sized lamp on the other side of the bathroom. It looked milky and smooth, almost like a cloud filled with a large mass of collected water. The pegasus lifted her hoof as she brought it up to my long, cobalt blue mane that has been hanging over my eyes ever since it was first hit with the stream of water. She started rubbing my mane with her hoof, the shampoo clinging to my hair as it cleaned it of any dirtiness and grime that must have been there since my earlier shower.

My ears flicked as her hoof ran across them, coating them in a thin layer of white shampoo that smells of coconut, leaving behind a soapy residue. Her hooves brushed through the thickness of my mane, covering individual strands of hair with the substance, the shampoo trickling down my face and avoiding my eyes as if they're the plague. The majority of my mane stuck to my head with a vice grip whilst Eclipse patted it down with shampoo, the white, sticky liquid coating my bright, cobalt blue mane. The feeling of a long line of shampoo cascading down the length of my back sent a quick shiver down my spine, forcing me to shiver involuntarily. The white pegasus, deeming that my mane was clean and free of any dirtiness, swept it back with a motion from her hoof, allowing the shower to wash it all away.

The shampoo that was stuck to my mane quickly evaporated and the residue that was left ran down the strands of hair that hung over my eyes, accumulated at the tip and dripped furiously. Eclipse wiped the shampoo off of the top of my head with her hooves, sending it flying to the floor where it landed with a silent splat. My mane, now shining and glistening with renewed cleanliness, now hung limply to the back of my neck and to my face, covering the entirety of my vision with long strands of blue hair. Lifting a shaking hoof from its position on my belly, I swept it to the sides of my head, allowing me to see once again. Eclipse was now spurting more shampoo into her hoof, until it was dribbling down the sides of it. She closed it with a loud snap and placed it to the side, turning to me with a pleading glint in her eyes.

“Flip onto your stomach and spread your hooves and wings… Please.” It was a simple request, so with the coordination of a baby bird learning how to fly, I drunkenly stood up onto my hooves, nearly slipping on the slippery, wet floor. Once I was assured that I had perfect balance, I turned around until I was facing the wall, away from Eclipse, and settled down onto my belly, spreading my wings until they were at full mast, the tips of my feathers brushing across the damp walls surrounding the both of us. I sprawled out my hooves and sighed heavily, swishing my tail back and forth sloppily, allowing the stream of water to wet it. Seemingly satisfied with the position my body is in, Eclipse rubbed her hooves together to spread out the shampoo before she began rubbing her hooves on my back, around the bases of my wings.

Closing my eyes and letting my eyelids to drop, a sigh of content escaped from the back of my throat at the heavenly feel of Eclipse's warm, soft hooves. She kneaded and rubbed my back with her fetlocks, careful not to touch the erogenous zone underneath the mass of my wings. But, her hooves accidently brushed across the spot and against my will, a slurred moan forced its way out of my muzzle, causing my cheeks to tinge a shade of red that could match the darkest of blood. “Sorry…” Eclipse apologized as she moved her hooves away from my wings, a small part of me wanting to feel that pleasurable shock resonate throughout my body and wings again. Finding the will to talk after a few minutes of silence, I twisted my head back to look at the beautiful pegasus cleaning my body.

“Mmm, it's hic okay…” I mumbled loud enough for her to hear over the roaring of the shower, coaxing and assuring her. Her cyan eyes found the floor interesting for a minute and a half before she shakily sighed, moving on with her scrubbing. Eclipse rubbed my coat ferociously with her hooves, tugging slightly on my fur to scrub the deeper parts of my coat. Turning my head back to where it was before, facing the wall, I basked in the sensations her movement was creating, feeling a slight twitch in my stallionhood as she kneaded my cutie marks, before moving onto my plot. The frogs of her hooves pressed into my flanks, scrubbing my curves and ends with her majestic motions. The mare moved inwards with her movements, brushing against my puckered tailhole, causing me to let out a less than desirable high-pitched gasp.

“F-Flip over, please.” She timidly requested, barely audible over the screeching of the shower head producing steam and water. I nodded dumbly before I shakily flipped over to lay on my back, slipping on the puddle of water and shampoo that accumulated underneath of me. I steadied myself as I let out another hiccup, my cheeks heating up when I did so. After an effort that was strenuous for someone was drunk, I now am on my back with my belly exposed and my legs spread, accidently flashing my stallionhood, which was twitching and peeking out of my sheath. Eclipse’s cheeks turned to a shade of red at the sight before she shook her head and placed her hooves on my chest, scrubbing the tuft of fur that was protruding outwards, the hair being pushed back and forth as she rubbed up and down, and left and right across my chest.

Picking herself up, she leaned forward as she stood over me with her hooves by my sides. Water dripped onto me from her damp coat as she scrubbed the spot between my chest and belly, flicking her hooves back and forth in swift motions. I stared down at her form on top of me, laying on my belly as she cleaned my stomach now, stands of fur pointing upwards, suspended in the air due to the stickiness of the shampoo, that's now trickling down the length of my barrel. Blood rushed to my cheeks when I noticed how close our muzzles are too each other, I can see our breaths floating towards to one another, her breath smelling like peppermint whilst mine reeked of hard cider. Eclipse began breathing shakily and heavily at the realization, her cheeks turning a tinge red.

“I-I’m sorry, D-Dusk…” Eclipse murmured to me as she leaned forward, her muzzle growing closer to mine with each passing second, feeling like an eternity as her lips rushed to meet mine. Our lips connected and I appreciated her silky smooth lips as they pressed up against my own, her lips tasting of peppermint tea. I laid there as we kissed softly, sweeping the locks of hair that cascaded over her beautiful, cyan eyes that twinkled in the light. Her hooves explored by belly and sides with the shampoo leaving behind soapy, sticky residue that clung to my pristine white coat. Suddenly, her head pulled back and our lips detached, a thin minuscule strand of saliva clinging to our lips as she gazed into my eyes, and I hers. “W-What I did could never be forgiven, b-but… Let me h-help you…”

I let out a gasp when one of her hooves trailed down to my nethers, tracing a circle around my stallionhood, occasionally brushing across my sheath that housed my shaft. Seemingly able to feel the sensitive touches by the white mare, my stallionhood began to emerge from its sheath, instantly assaulted by the pouring water coming from the shower head. Eclipse led her hoof along the length of my rod as it sprouted from its source, coaxing it until it was throbbing and laying limply against my soapy, sticky, and wet stomach. I stifled a moan at the sensation of her hoof stroking my hard length, bringing it to full mast. Biting my lip tightly, I looked up to Eclipse who had her mane completely obscuring her eyes, her nostrils flaring as she worked on my staff.

“E-Eclipse, hic, w-what are you hic doing?” I questioned as she continued to caress my shaft, running her hoof up and down in a steady rhythm. Eclipse remained silent, electing to respond through her actions. She raised my stallionhood until it stood upright, twitching under her plot that was hovering above it like a predator would to its prey. The pegasus standing on top of me mustered up the courage to point my shaft towards her marehood, which was beginning to leak juices onto the tip of my penis. I bit my lip once again as my thick, jet black cock towered in the air, the steam covering it and moistening it with water. The mare must have seemed to sense my hesitance before she spoke up.

“W-What I did was unacceptable, but… Hopefully you can find the will to f-forgive me eventually.” She whispered to me closely, her words hanging in the air as my drunk mind raced to find the right words to say, before the more rational part of my mind seemed to find the perfect words, at least to my intoxicated self.

“This is a, hic, start.” I replied with an even tone and slurred words, my hot breath brushing up against Eclipse's muzzle. She sighed hastily before she gripped my stallionhood with her hoof, eliciting a surprised gasp to crawl its way out of my throat, and angled it to enter her tight passage. In my current state, I had no patience nor restraint, so I bucked upwards into her winking marehood, a sudden gasp escaping from in between Eclipse's lips and a content grunt from myself. Her walls clenched around my shaft, squeezing it for all its worth with her soft, fleshy vagina. Eclipse constricted my cock with all of her strength, coating it in her slick, oozy juices that wrapped around my rod with a vice grip, her passage winking and teasing my medial ring with renewed vigor.

Eclipse shifted around on top of me, finding a position that will better serve her and I. Sinking her hooves into the fur on the back of my neck, she wrapped her hooves around me and pulled her head closer to mine as she panted with desire and lust in each breath. I placed my hooves on her back, exploring it with my fetlocks until I eventually brushed across the erogenous zone underneath her wings. She let a moan escape her maw as I rubbed the spot with the tips of my hooves, kneading the zone with a swift sweep back and forth. My own wings are spread out across the smooth tiled floor, my wings pressed up against the corners of the small shower space painfully as they throbbed with each pulse. Ignoring my erect wings for the time being, I focused on the sensations reverberating throughout my groin.

The pegasus bobbed up and down on top of my cock, her slick pussy constricting around my rod, milking it all for what it's worth. She bounced her plot back and forth, swinging her hips as she hilted, eliciting several moans from herself. I bit my lip as the all familiar pressure began building up in my belly, warning me of my impending orgasm. I gripped Eclipse with my hooves as I pumped into her sloppily, her legs convulsing as she stifled a scream with her hoof, her juices coating my stallionhood with extra lubricant. Not able to hold it anymore, I quickly and drunkenly pulled my shaft out of her ravaged marehood, thick ropes of gooey, hot cum spurting onto her plot, landing on her puckered tailhole, her black tail, all of it dribbling down her rump as the water washed it away. I enjoyed my afterglow, my eyelids drooping until sleep embraced me, whisking me away into the Dream Realm.

“Dusk? Wake up.”

I jolted upwards as I woke up, my eyelids lifting up at a fast speed. Picking my hooves up from the table we’re sat at, I rubbed my eyes vigorously until I could see clearly, dropping them back on the table with a loud thud. I turned to look at Eclipse, who was right across from me on the other side of the small, round wooden table we are seated at, both of us sitting on two exquisitely designed chairs. Glancing down, I took notice of the small cup of steaming hot tea that smelled of peppermint, and was colored a light brown. I’m still partially intoxicated, but not enough to hinder my mind or voice, so Eclipse decided it was time we talked about what happened. Twilight allowed us to use the basement where all of our equipment is. I shot a glance towards my pistol before turning back to Eclipse.

Surrounding us was a spiral staircase that led up to the main floor, and the stairs were carved out of wood. On the same wall that the stairs are on is yet another bookshelf, except unlike its counterpart upstairs, it has a less amount of literature adorned on the shelves. Behind us is several machines that would take me years to even begin to understand, I never really was one for science so to speak, and next to that is the shelf that houses all of our equipment, including my now fixed cloak that lays with my pistol and holster at the moment. After taking in my unfamiliar surroundings, I turned back to Eclipse with a furious glint in my eyes, and she must notice it too, because she seems to flinching slightly at every movements I make. I’d never hit her, but she must think so.

After what we did in the shower, we cleaned ourselves up again and left the bathroom, which took us nearly an hour to do since we fell asleep inside of the shower space. We went downstairs, thankfully Forgetful wasn't there because I would have most likely kicked his ass, and asked Twilight if there is a private room we can use to talk. She offered the basement, and so we came down here, but I was still a little tipsy, so we waited an hour so I can at least talk without slurring every word or hiccuping every few seconds. I’m still feeling a little tipsy, but like I said, not enough to warrant me having incomprehensible words come out of my mouth, or hinder my line of thoughts. And so, we’re finally able to talk like two responsible adults.

“Talk.” I growled at her harshly, venom dripping off of every letter of the short word, and I fixated her with a glare. She flinched at my venomous tone before sighing shakily, placing her hooves on the table set out in front of us. I crossed my own as I waited for her to explain herself; and at right now, she better start speaking quick before I snap.

“O-Okay… After you, uh, promised me that you would, um… R-Relieve me, I went and uh, talked to Forgetful and Midnight, since you were going to be a while,” She stopped to take a big breath, her hooves convulsing slightly on the table. “Midnight, uh, is in heat, too, and I told her and F-Forgetful that I-I was going through it, too… F-Forgetful, he-he has this way of convincing you to go along with him, and so he m-m-manipulated me into h-having… Sex with him, along with M-Midnight…” By now, tears were cascading down her cheeks and she was sniffling loudly. I didn't move to coax her, motioning for her to continue.

“S-So, we went upstairs, and we proceeded to-to… T-To,”

“Say it.” I spit.

“W-We had… S-Sex… A-And afterwards, Forgetful convinced me and Midnight to-to,” Eclipse was now openly sobbing and I felt my teeth grinding against each other painfully as rage began to slowly seep into my mind, overwhelming my sense of control. “T-T-To work on him… D-Don’t you see? H-He controlled us!” I raised a very firm hoof and sighed loudly, my other hoof gripping the table tightly, the edges digging into it. Celesta forgive me, but so help me Luna am I pissed.

“Save it…. Here's what's going to happen; You are to stay away from Forgetful for however long he may live. You are going to leave me alone for the next week to cope with this, and if I feel it, we will try again. But, for now, you have broken my trust and betrayed me in one of the worst ways. All in one fucking day!” My voice raised with each word I spit, my hoof eventually slamming onto the table with a very loud thud. “I said I love you, Eclipse, and you discarded those three words all because you couldn't wait a few hours! You know damn well that you could have waited, you're stronger than this, and I promised you that I would help you! So tell me, why. Did. You. Fuck. Him!” I punctuated each word with a slam of my hoof on the table.

“I-I-I’m sorry! P-Please, D-Dusk, it won’t happen again!” She pleaded with me, her eyes stinging with warm tears.

“Oh, really? What happens when you get this itch, again, huh? You basically showed me that you have no restraint and you have no faith in me! I fucking said I would help you, but noooo! You go fuck some asshole just because you don't have any patience! Do you realize how much you fucked up, in the first day, no less? If this is a sign, then I should just end this right now... “ I trailed off, turning away from the white pegasus in front of me. My words cut deep into her and she started bawling loudly, throwing her head into her hooves as I seethed in anger, my heart racing in my chest as I snorted heavily through my nostrils. In this state, I don't care if I’m hurting her, so I continued. “One day. One. Day, Eclipse. I am already feeling like shit, but you just went and added to it! I swear to Celestia…”

Just then, a morbid thought passed through my mind, like a lost foal swimming down an endless river, hoping to find shore. It gripped my emotions in a vice grip, squeezing out any feeling that wasn't fear or fury… W-When a mare is in heat, she is willing to accept any kind of contribution, is a word for it, and when a stallion finally does contribute, it's marked inside of her as a foal, is the best way I can describe it. But, if perhaps, another stallion were… Cum inside, then their sperm would overthrow and override the previous stallion’s sperm. So, when that thought passed through my mind, I found a choice question leaving my lips, hanging in the air like drifting smoke from a lit cigar.

“Did he… Cum inside?” I asked timidly, despite the horrendous mood I’m currently in, and mix of a fearful and angry tone came out of my mouth.

“Y-Y-Yes…”

*Snap*

Against my better judgement and the more rational and comprehensible part of my mind, I felt myself standing up extremely fast from my seat, knocking it over with the force I put behind the simple action of getting up from my seat. Stumbling a bit, I walked at a brisk pace to the staircase and my hooves clip-clopped loudly as I practically stomped my way up the stairs, the many harsh steps I took echoing throughout the entirety of the library like a mighty thunderstorm. I reached the top of the steps and kicked the door open, the back of it striking the bookshelf to the right, causing a significant amount of books to rain down onto to the floor. Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy stared at me in shock and confusion as I scanned the room for one pony in particular.

My nostrils flared widely as a hot bout of air streamed through it in a fierce snort, my tail swishing back and forth in pure, raw rage as I searched for that black fucking stallion that forced my marefriend to fuck him! Midnight took notice of me from her position on the couch, her hooves resting on the arm rests in a lazy manner. For the first time, I saw her eyes widen in shock and, believe it or not, fear. I ignored as I ears flickered at the sound of impending hoof steps emanating from the stairs that lead up to Twilight's bedroom, as well as the bathroom. I turned towards the direction that the source of the sound was coming from, and much to my own shock, a sadistic, evil grin graced my muzzle as he neared the bottom of the staircase.

Suddenly, I sensed a familiar and a very unwanted sensation flow through my body like an electric jolt, sending rejuvenating energy through every inch of my body. My eyes darted to my cutie mark for a brief second, focusing on the lightning bolt that stands in front of the solar eclipse. I raised a hoof and sighed shakily at the well-known electric shocks surrounding my entire body, causing my mane and fur to stand on end at the sensitive touch of the jolts of raw lightning reverberating from my body. The feathers of my wings straightened, and my wings unfurled, spreading out until they were at full mast. Forgetful finally noticed my presence, his eyes widening in shock and he cowered as I approached him slowly, the sounds of my hooves striking the floor amplified by the lightning, making it sound as if thunder is striking right inside of the tree-house.

I finally arrived at the bottom of the spiral staircase, Forgetful shrinking under my towering form. Without further hesitation, I wrapped my hoof around the stallion’s throat and rammed him against the wall with my increased strength, a piercing glare forming in my eyes as I held him against the wall, his eyes darting around in a frantic manner. His horn began to light up in a magical aura, but I quickly thrusted my hoof upwards into a powerful punch, directly into the center point of his horn. He screamed in agony as a small, but noticeable crack spawned, blood oozing out of the fractured appendage. The other side of my mind, the more restrained and collected section, screamed at me in protest to stop. But, the vengeful side won me over and I rammed him into the wall once again.

“How could you?! How dare you?! Who the fuck do you think you are?! Huh?!” I shouted in his face as I delivered another blow to his muzzle, blood beginning to leak from his nose onto his already stained face, an endless stream of blood gushing out of his cracked horn. He whimpered as a reply before I punched him again in the throat, causing him to start coughing uncontrollably, his hooves clawing at my own in a desperate struggle to breath. My ears flickered as I heard a whistling sound echo in my ear before I was suddenly tackled to the ground roughly, Forgetful dropping to the ground in a hacking bout. Midnight immediately flocked to him and began nursing him, not bothering to look my way. I felt two hooves constrict around my throat, holding me tightly. I caught a whiff of lavender, Eclipse’s signature scent, and I gave up my resistance.

“I didn't want this to happen… I’m so sorry, Dusk.” The mare restraining me whispered into my ear, her voice shaky and unstable. The lightning jolts of energy coursing through my body ceased, and I fell limp into her embrace. I watched helplessly as Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Midnight began aiding Forgetful, who appeared as if he is on the verge of unconsciousness. Like a lamp switching on to illuminate a darkened room, the rage dissipated in my mind to be replaced by a less-powerful version; bitterness. I scoffed before I threw Eclipse's hooves off of me, her audible gasp as if I slapped her echoed in my ear as I begrudgingly stood up and strutted past the four ponies helping Forgetful, none of them paying me any attention save Midnight, who shot me a wrathful glare. I ignored it as I exited the library, once again met with the endless stream of rain attacking the town.

I lifted my head to gaze at the overcast hovering above the small town of Ponyville, thousands of droplets of rain assaulting the village, soaking the ponies who dared be caught in its wrath, like myself. But, suddenly, the rain ceased and for the first time today, the town laid untouched by the spoils of weather. I watched as pegasi parted the clouds away from each other until a ray of sunlight shot through the thick mass of clouds and beamed directly on me, bathing me in bountiful sunlight. Soon enough, all of the dark clouds that hung above Ponyville were now gone, to be replaced by a bright, cobalt blue sky and a sun approaching the horizon. As I stared at the descending orb of light slowly crawl towards its resting place, one thought plagued my mind.

I still have a party to attend…

And a brother to meet...
