Author's Note

Sorry this is so long, but I felt like it needed to be said.

I've got a bit of bad news guys. Seeing how I'm not really getting a whole lot of support on my Patreon page, things here are probably going to slow down. I'm really sorry, but things for me are taking a very bad turn. I might not be able to keep coming on to this website.
I finally managed to find a place to stay, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to stick around too much longer. I'm probably gonna end up back on the streets again, hopping from house to house just so I can have a place to stay for the night.
The people here can't afford to keep taking care of me. There's just so much wrong with my body that I can't make it function properly anymore. I went from being able to handle whatever was thrown at me to not even being able to do something as simple as lifting a brick.
My body hurts, it hurts so much and I can't keep doing what I'm doing. The guys at my workplace already see me as a liability and I know they won't keep me around. They never do.
I wouldn't keep me around either, last thing I would want working under me is a guy who's body shuts down every ten minutes.
I'm so sorry guys, I don't want to stop doing this. I love making content here and I know many of you are enjoying it too, but I can't keep fighting this anymore and ignoring it is no longer an option.
I can't afford the treatment I need, so I'm stuck. There's nothing else I can do.
I am so sorry that things aren't working out. I really want to keep doing this and I promise that I will keep trying, but I don't know how much longer it will last.
But as always, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I had fun writing it. I'll see you all later

Morning Troubles

Twilight awoke to a strange feeling in her lower back. Like something was stuck between her and Ryan. The night before ended shortly after she had gotten that much needed release thanks to her mate, they immediately started cuddling and eventually fell asleep. However, that was after she swatted him in the back of the head for making her worry so much with the whole I'm Drowning joke.

So here they rested; With Twilight facing the wall and her back pressed firmly against the human's chest. But this thing that seemed to be wedged between the two was starting to bug her. It was warm and felt as though it was moving further up her back with each passing second.

This led her to quickly assume that, whatever was in bed with them, was alive and looking to travel higher. Testing the waters on what this thing wanted, she pulled herself out of Ryan's arms and moved over a few inches. The head seemed to follow her some, but eventually stopped.

Now being concerned that it may go after Ryan, but also not wanting to startle it cause it might attack, she turned over to face Ryan. He was still sleeping the day away, unaware of the potential danger he was in.

She couldn't wait any longer, Twilight had to know what it was and what it wanted. Her hand slowly made its way up the bed, easing its way to the top of the blanket. Once it had reached its destination, she started to carefully raise the bed sheets and just like that she felt like the stupidest mare in Equestria.

Much to her surprise, there was no monster creeping its way up the bed. Instead what she found was a serious case of morning wood on Ryan's part. His member stood up straight, but not really, and tall. It was almost scary how large it was right now; swollen and red, twitching every so often, as if it were crying out for help.

Her eyes shot up to Ryan, glancing up at his sleeping face. He seemed so calm and peaceful, which only made a number of questions shoot through her head rapidly as to why his...little Ryan was so wide awake.

A thought crossed her mind; He did seem rather excited last night shortly after he had pushed her into an orgasm, but rather than bother her about it, he just let her sleep. She blushed slightly; Although he can be a total dick sometimes, no pun intended, he seemed to always be on top of making sure she was happy. Even if it meant putting himself through an uncomfortable situation.

Unless he was drunk, that is. Then its all about what looks the most fun and how much he can piss off the whole town. But, going back to the topic at hand, she was starting to feel a little guilty for leaving him high and dry last night. Maybe there was a way she could make it up to him...

Do it! Her own mind started to nag her, You know you want to. And I promise, he'll love it just as much if not more. After taking a minute to think it through, and knowing full well what Ryan was like, she could find no downsides to what her thoughts were telling her to do. Don't think about it, the words rang through her head in memory of him telling her how to get through things she was unsure of. just do it.

A look of determination soon worked it way across her face as her hand started making its way to his throbbing manhood. Once she was in range she firmly grasped it in her hand, causing him to readjust his body slightly. She waited for him to settle before focusing back on the task at hand. Again, no pun intended.

She remembered the feeling as it was now; soft, but hard and firm. It's warmth filled her palm as she started to gently run her hand up the shaft all the way to the tip and back down again. Ryan's body shuddered at the feeling, but remained in slumber.

Twilight continued to stroke his dick slowly, occasionally causing the human to hum in his sleep. It felt like it was only growing warmer and harder, like it wanted more. Come on, Twilight, Her thoughts started up again, you can do this!

With that little bit of mental encouragement she slid the rest of her body down under the blankets, inching her way closer to Ryan's body. She stopped when she was eye level with his cock, the stiff appendage still throbbing in her hand. It was strange how lively it was, she could actually feel his pulse in the veins that lightly budged just beneath his skin.

She gulped as she processed what she was about to do. It wasn't so much as doing it that bothered her, it was mostly that she was doing it while he was asleep. At this moment though, she couldn't seem to resist. While she was trying to tell herself, 'No!' Every molecule in her body was screaming, 'Yes!'

It wasn't long before her tongue unconsciously slid out of her mouth, pressing itself on the underside of Ryan's shaft and licking up to the tip. His body shuddered again, but rather than stopping this drove her to do it more. While her hand stroked the base of his cock her tongue continued to run up and down the rest of his shaft.

Her body felt as though it was growing hotter, her own arousal picking up as she continued to work on him just as he had worked on her. She could already feel her marehood leaking down her on her thigh.

Twilight's horn started to glow as she removed her hand from Ryan's member and engulfed it in her magic, letting her hand slide down her body so she could satisfy herself as well. She moved her head up slightly, placing her lips on the head of his dick and sliding it into her mouth.

She felt watched as his entire body started to tense up, letting that be her sign that he was enjoying it. Her eyes closed as she let her body do the work for her, her head bobbing up and down on the top portion of his cock while she rubbed herself with her hands. She slid a finger into her pussy, making her moan onto his dick.

Her magic traveled down his cock and onto his balls, shifting them around and adding a light pressure to them while she worked on forcing him deeper into her throat. His body was already starting to respond to the pleasure as his waist began to thrust him into her, making her gag as he went beyond the point that she could handle.

Twilight could already feel a pressure building up inside of her, she was close to finishing herself off. Seeing how Ryan was responding to her efforts she could only assume that he was drawing near his end as well. She attempted to double her efforts on him, but she still couldn't manage to fit the whole thing in her mouth without choking.

Ryan's pace began to quicken, his waist forcing her to take in his cock at a faster rate. He was definitely coming close, that was for sure, and she wasn't too far behind. Before Twilight could make one final attempt at taking him in deeper, she felt his hands grip the back of her skull. She no longer had a choice as he forced his entire length into her, his cock shooting wave after wave of his seed into her throat.

She held on for dear life as she was forced to swallow down everything he had, her body trembling as she managed to hit her mark and moan to herself as a tidal wave of that euphoric feeling washed over her.

When her head was finally released she pulled herself back and took a deep breath. As she gasped for air she heard a slight chuckling coming from outside of the blankets.

Twilight quickly grabbed the sheets and tossed them aside to find Ryan wide awake with his eyes clenched shut and his hands over his mouth.

"I-I uh..." She stuttered, a blush quickly working it way across her face. "Y-you were...How long have you been awake?" She finally managed to ask, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Ryan opened his eyes and uncovered his mouth, using one of his arms as a prop so he could look a her with his head raised. "Oh, you know...a while." He replied with the biggest shit-eating grin she had ever seen.

"How long is a while?" She pressed, looking as though she suspected him of committing some sort of crime.

"About..." He paused and raised his free hand, making it look as though he was actually trying to add up the numbers. "Five or so minutes before you." He finished, his grin only growing wider.

Her left eye twitched upon receiving this information. "You were awake...the whole time..."

"Eeyup."

"You were pretending to be asleep..."

"Mhm."

"..."

Masquerade, a simple mare with simple tastes. Her life was as average an any other pony. In fact, the most exciting thing to happen to her at all was the meeting she had with a creature from an entirely different word. One of which was willing to take the fall for her not being able to pay for a meal that she took it out to.

She hadn't really seen Ryan much since then, or at all really. That time at the diner was the most fun she has had in years; just being able to sit down and talk to something so different was entertaining in ways she didn't even know existed. In all honesty, she kind of missed him. It's not often you literally bump into an alien and just talk and have fun.

As odd as she felt about admitting it, she thought he was kind of cute too. In his own way, that is. Despite some of his crude behavioral quirks and the kind of language he used in public, he was a really nice guy. She only wished that she could see him again.

The wind picked up a bit, gently pushing her curly blue hair over to the side. She was able to correct it just by running her hands through her mane once, but the wind only grew stronger. Her head turned to the side to see a number of ponies staring out at something in the distance. It looked like somepony was being chased.

"Help!" A masculine voice rang out in the distance, growing louder as it drew close. "She's gonna kill me!" It shouted, running at a full sprint through the town in nothing but a pair of black shorts.

Once the runner was in range, Masquerade manage to make out exactly who it was. It wasn't hard to tell, what with him having no fur and a noticeably large lack of a muzzle.

Ryan ran as fast as his legs would carry him, his mind in a panic as he did everything he could to avoid letting Twilight get too close to him. She was slow when she was grounded, but those wings of hers were helping her keep a pace that he was growing extremely uncomfortable with.

"Seriously, take a joke, woman!" He yelled back at the angry mare who had a look of death shined directly at him.

After receiving nothing more than a growl in response he prompted to just running faster as to try and avoid the fate he had sealed for himself. Somehow, he managed to spot the first actual friend he had made in Equestria and in his current state of mind there was only one thing he could think of to do.

Meat Shield!

He quickly dove at Masquerade, curling up into a ball and taking refuge behind her. She turned to face him with a questioning look on her face.

Your sacrifice will be forever remembered. Your people will sing songs about you!

Masquerade felt a shiver run down her spine, like someone was watching her. She turned back to her previous position, immediately locking eyes with a sloppily dressed purple alicorn. One that looked like she was ready to kill.

"Excuse me, Miss." Twilight said politely, doing her best to retain as much venom as possible. No point in being rude to an innocent bystander. "Would you kindly move aside so I can deal with that jerk behind you?"

The mare's face scrunched at the alicorn. She turned around and grabbed Ryan, forcing him to his feet before wrapping her arms around his torso and turning back to Twilight. "No, if you wanna hurt my friend then you'll have to go through me."

Ryan felt his brain crack like a window under pressure, shattering many of his thoughts at once. "Um...what?" He asked, slightly confused why a mare, he had only seen one time mind you, was ready to throw herself in front of him like this. "Like seriously, what the fuck?"

Did...did the woman we just tried to use as cannon fodder just offer to protect you?

Twilight gave her a stern look, almost mockingly stern. "You do realize that he's only using you as a shield, right?"

"It's true." He admitted without hesitation, earning a strange look from Masquerade.

That look quickly vanished as she shook her head and started glaring at Twilight. "I don't care." She said in confidence, being more assertive than Ryan would have ever expected. "I'm not gonna let you hurt my friend. I don't care if you're a princess; you have no reason to be attacking anypony like this!"

...Holy shit...This bitch has some fucking BALLS!!!

Twilight was going to argue this, but not only was she in a public place, but she also didn't really want everpony to know why she was chasing him. Thinking back; she might be overreacting. It wasn't like he had done anything to seriously hurt her. After all, it was probably just a playful joke that she took a little too seriously.

In the end, she did know he was joking, she should have known better. His sense of humor was something she was growing used to, but that one pushed a little too far for her tastes.

After taking a breath and thinking everything over, she cracked. "You're right." She said, causing both Ryan and Masquerade to go wide eyed. "It was just a harmless joke, I shouldn't have taken it as seriously as I did." Her hands came together and she locked her fingers together as she looked up at them with sad puppy eyes. "Can you forgive me?"

If she were one of your ex's then this would clearly be a trap...But, she seems genuine. Alright, your turn to apologize, dick-face.

Ryan let out a weak sigh, kind of hard to breath with a mare crushing your ribcage. "Yeah, I can forgive you." He spoke in a strained voice, causing Masquerade to blush and release him from her grasp with a nervous look about her. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't joke like that. It was...yeah, a little fucked up."

"So...we're okay?" Twilight asked, looking like she was expecting him to walk away and never come back.

"We're cool." He responded, sliding his hands into his pockets.

She smiled and jumped past Masquerade, wrapping her arms around Ryan who responded in kind. "Thank you..."

The tan mare scratched her head, wondering what had caused all of this. She also found it kind of weird how quickly they forgave each other, but to each their own. "Feel free to not answer, but; What caused all of this?"

Ryan and Twilight pulled away from their embrace, glancing at each other with an odd mixture of shame and amusement.

Twilight rose from the bed and walked over to her dresser to collect a clean set of clothes to wear. The whole thing about Ryan being awake during her little surprise was brushed off rather easily. He was usually too adorable to stay mad at, especially when he was actually trying. A bit of self doubt crossed her mind, making her ponder a thought about something that she really had no reason to even think about.

She turned her head to see Ryan on the other side of the room. He was sliding on a pair of black cargo shorts. The dark thoughts crept a bit further as she watched him get dressed. "Ryan, what would you do if something happened to me?"

Judging from the overall all randomness of the question, the human took it with a grain of salt. In his mind, she was just asking as some sort of game. So he responded how he would to any question he saw as a playful gesture; with an over the top joke "I'd probably just go after one of your friends." He answered, not even looking in Twilight's direction. "Maybe Fluttershy, girl's got some serious boob game."

He laughed at his own jest, quickly taking notice of the room growing almost unnervingly colder. He cocked his head to the side in confusion before turning to see Twilight with a rather unpleasant expression on her face. "You okay, sweetheart?"
