More Than Friendship

Sunset was exhausted. They were short staffed at work because a couple of people were on holiday, a few were sick and one had just started maternity leave which meant everyone else was doing extra shifts to cover them. This was her third twelve hour day in a row and she had another one tomorrow. Her legs and shoulders were sore and all she could think about was getting home and lying down. It was a little after nine in the evening when she opened the door and could only feel relief that her day was over.

“Perfect timing, I’ve just finished drawing you a bath,” came Rarity’s voice from the foot of the stairs.

Sunset turned as Rarity covered the short distance and pecked her on the cheek as she slipped her jacket off. “That sounds nice,” said Sunset sleepily.

“I thought it would be just what you needed,” said Rarity holding out her hand, “come.”

“I’ll need more than holding you hand,” said Sunset as she took it.

“Good to know you’re not too tired for innuendos.”

Rarity guided Sunset upstairs to the bathroom, supporting her a little on the stairs. As they approached, Sunset could smell lavender in the air and as they entered she found the room bathed in soft, warm light from a dozen candles set around the bath.

“You seemed to be tired this morning so I thought I’d set up a lovely relaxing evening for you,” said Rarity as she began undressing Sunset. “I’ve bribed our family to stay out tonight so we’ve got the house to ourselves for a little bit.”

As Rarity folded her clothes neatly, Sunset dipped a finger into the deep bath to test the temperature, it was just the perfect level of warmth. As she slipped in slowly she let out a sigh as the warm water immediately began soothing her sore muscles.

“Do you need anything else?” asked Rarity.

“Would you like to join me?” She was all Sunset would ever need.

“You know I can’t refuse that offer,” said Rarity as she pulled her sweater off revealing there was nothing underneath and it then became clear the same was true of her skirt. She then grabbed a scrunchy to tie her hair up.

Sunset was leaning forward massaging her calves as Rarity slipped in behind her, brushing Sunset’s hair to the side to kiss her neck before wrapping her arms around her waist. As Rarity continued kissing Sunset’s neck her girlfriend sagged in her arms, her head falling away to give Rarity better access.

“I feel better already,” sighed Sunset.

In response, Rarity began kissing along her shoulder as she slowly slid her hands up Sunset’s back until they reached her shoulders where she began rubbing and gently kneading. She didn’t really know what she was doing but as Sunset’s head dropped it was clear it felt good. She spent a few minutes massaging Sunset’s shoulders until she realised that her she'd fallen asleep. There was no reason to wake her so she leaned back, pulling her sleeping girlfriend with her so that Sunset’s head was nestled between her breasts. She lay in silence enjoying the warmth of the both the water and her exhausted lover against her, her eyes falling closed as well.

Her eyes snapped back open with the feeling that more time had passed than she thought and judging by the candles she must have fallen asleep or zoned out for about ten minutes. Her arms were draped around Sunset’s shoulders who was now using her left breast as a pillow. Something felt odd and as she focused on it she moved a hand to Sunset’s heart and realised it was beating perfectly in time with her own. She lay for a while listing to their combined heartbeats and caught herself as she was on the verge of falling asleep again. Knowing that they shouldn’t spend all night in the water, pruney is not a good look on anyone, Rarity gently shook Sunset to try and rouse her

Sunset sat bolt upright causing a wave that almost swept several candles into the bath. “What, I’m...” She felt Rarity’s hands gently garb her shoulders and she remembered what was happening. “Was I asleep?”

“You were, Darling,” said Rarity softly as pulled Sunset back a little to kiss her neck. “I just wanted to get out to make you some dinner. I know you won’t have eaten much today.”

Sunset reached up and placed a hand on top of Rarity’s, “I could do with something.”

“I’ll make you something nice. Do you want me to bring it up here?”

“No, I’ll come down,” said Sunset as she reached for the soap, “give me ten minutes.”

Rarity pulled herself up out of the bath and kissed Sunset on the top of the head as she stepped out. “I’ll make something light as you’ll be in bed shortly, maybe a salad,” she said as she grabbed a towel and made a little bit of a show of drying herself for Sunset before heading downstairs stark naked.

In the kitchen, Rarity laid out what she would need but only started preparing when she heard the hairdryer from upstairs. Dinner was ready and she was lighting the candles on the table when Sunset appeared in her pyjamas. “Are you feeling better?” she asked.

“Much. That was just what I needed, thank you,” said Sunset as she sat at the table, only noticing now that Rarity was still naked.

“No need for thanks my Dear,” said Rarity as sat opposite.

“Yes there is, after you all saved me from myself I nearly lost myself again a few weeks later and it was you alone who saved me then. You’ve always been the one to keep me safe from Her and I don’t think I could manage without you.”

Rarity wasn’t sure where this was coming from, or what the second time she saved her was, but she put it down to Sunset being tired and reached across to take her hand, “I’ll always be here for you.”

“Thank you,” said Sunset with a tired smile.

“Now eat your dinner before you fall asleep.” She’d noticed Sunset’s head nodding a little as she was taking and it was clear she wouldn’t be able to stay awake much longer.

Sunset gave a quiet laugh. “Yes mother.”

As Sunset ate, Rarity watched as she almost nodded off mid chew at one point. She’d only managed half of her plate but that was clearly enough. “Do you want to head up to bed?”

“No, I can stay up with you for a little while.”

“Alright, you head through to the living room and I’ll tidy up here.”

Rarity cleared away the leftovers and rinsed the plates before heading through to the living where she found Sunset was lying along the length of the sofa, sound asleep. She decided she should put some clothes on before their family returned and went upstairs to put on her nightdress before returning to her sleeping beauty.

“Sunset,” she said softly as she shook her shoulder.

“I’m up,” said Sunset as she tried to sit up.

“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather go to bed?”

“No, I can stay up with you,” said Sunset determined to spend some of this romantic night awake.

“Alright then,” said Rarity knowing she couldn’t. She sat where Sunset’s head had been and then pulled her unresisting girlfriend down to use her lap as a pillow. “There, you just rest and we’ll spend some time together.”

“Mm hmm,” mumbled Sunset as she nuzzled Rarity’s leg a little to get comfy.

Rarity stroked Sunset’s hair as she drifted off to sleep. “Hush now, quiet now –“

“I’m not a child,” interrupted Sunset.

“Regardless I’m going to sing you a lullaby.”

Sunset could only accept it was inevitable as Rarity sang her the whole lullaby even though she was asleep after the first verse.

It was half an hour later when she heard her parents and Sweetie Belle arrived home and she waited for her mother to nervously peer into the living room to ensure nothing inappropriate for Sweetie Belle was happening. She signalled them to come in and keep quiet and they crept in to find Sunset still sound asleep in Rarity’s lap but with the addition of a braid in her hair consisting of two red strands and one blonde.

“She’s been asleep for half an hour,” whispered Rarity.

“Oh the poor dear,” said her mother. “We should get her up to bed.”

“I’ve got her,” said her father. He knew he could still lift Rarity, generally to embarrass her in public, so he’d be able to carry his newest daughter to bed. With a little help from Rarity he got her up in a bridal carry and turned for the stairs.

Sunset felt herself moving but it was a while before she was able to open her eyes and found she was now being carried. “Dad?”

“Shh, go back to sleep.”

She cuddled into him and did as she was asked. Rarity turned to see that her mother was clearly excited by Sunset’s use of ‘dad’, she was too tired to have made a conscious choice of words and she was thrilled that Sunset felt she was part of the family.

Rarity followed her father upstairs and got ahead of him to pull back the covers so he could just drop sunset directly into her bed. She then arranged her so she would be more comfortable before tucking her in and giving her a kiss on the forehead.

As they closed the door and headed back downstairs her father turned to her, “You’re a real cute couple.”

“You say that as if I don’t know,” replied Rarity with a chuckle causing her father to laugh.

“Is she going to be our daughter in law?”

Rarity paused, if Sunset had been there she would have told him that was inappropriate to ask but now she felt she should give him an honest answer. “Not legally as she doesn’t exist here but in spirit I think that might happen.”

“Well you couldn’t do better.”

As they entered the living room they found Sweetie Belle sitting proudly on the sofa. “I get to stay up late,” she said proudly.

“You’re getting to be a big girl Sweetie Belle, it’s time you show us you can handle it,” said her father.

“Da-ad I’m not a child,” moaned Sweetie.

“Talking like that you are,” pointed out Rarity as she sat next to her with her little sister immediately mimicking her posture. Rarity crossed her legs to see if she’d follow. She did so she crossed them the other way and Sweetie copied her again. “You’re adorable,” she said as she put an arm round her.

The four of them stayed up for another hour and Sweetie Belle did herself proud by staying awake, though only barely. When they headed to bed, Sunset was still sound asleep exactly as she had been left so Rarity kissed her forehead again before getting into bed and staying on her own side to ensure Sunset got all the sleep she needed.

Rarity woke up to the light of dawn and feeling phenomenally hot with her body twitching and quivering. For a moment she thought she was ill but then an external source of warmth ran down her slit and provided an alternate explanation.

“It’s been a while since you woke me up like this,” said Rarity softly as her back arched by itself.

Sunset stayed silent and ran her tongue back up, pushing in between the soaking walls and flicking her clit causing a shudder to run through Rarity’s body and a long groan of lust.

“How long have you been down there?” asked Rarity when the flame of desire faded enough to allow her to talk.

Again there was no response but for a rapid flicking of Sunset’s tongue against her swollen clit causing Rarity to squeal and her hands to run across her own chest, unbidden. Knowing she was close, Sunset kept up the rapid torment of her clit and Rarity’s breathing became sharper as her hips began violently rocking against her tongue.

As she left her lover’s clit momentarily to run down between her sodden lips there was a pained gasp from Rarity and some noises that may have been begging for her to return. As she again flicked Rarity’s clit, there was a shuddering groan as Rarity’s hips rose from the mattress demanding everything Sunset could give as she came. After half a minute, Rarity’s hips collapsed back to the mattress as she groaned at the displeasure of her orgasm ending.

Rarity lay there seeing spots due such strenuous activity so soon after waking as she felt Sunset moving up her body before a red and blonde mane appeared above her. Sunset’s tongue, glistening with cum, was extended and Rarity lifted herself off the bed, entwining her own with Sunset’s to clean up her juices before closing her lips around it and sucking off everything she could. Only then did she move on to Sunset’s lips and kiss her good morning.

“I was kinda hoping I was going to make you cum in your sleep,” said Sunset as they parted.

“How long were you down there? I was barely awake before I you finished me.”

“A few minutes, turns out you can still get very wet in your sleep.”

“It does explain the threesome I was having with you and Daydream.” Rarity enjoyed the look of intrigue on Sunset’s face. “If we ever go to Equestria, would you want a threesome with the other me?”

“It’s certainly a lovely image but I don’t know which way she goes.”

“Pity,” said Rarity truthfully, she’d had thoughts about that too. “So what do I owe this wonderful wake up call to?”

Sunset gave an embarrassed smile, “It’s an apology for falling asleep last night. Twice. You set up a wonderful romantic evening and I couldn’t even stay awake.”

“Oh angel, I never expected last night to end like this. That was just something nice to do for my tired girlfriend. May I say you seem the better for it.”

“It was nice, I particularly loved our bath. You’re a surprisingly comfy pillow.” Sunset slipped beneath the covers again and nestled down onto Rarity’s chest. Rarity’s response was to stroke her hair.

“You’re welcome to use me as furniture anytime you need. When you were asleep on me I noticed our hearts were beating in perfect sync, I read that’s supposedly something that happens to couples in love.”

“Haven’t we already established that?” asked Sunset returning to the light.

“Yes, but now science agrees with us. I know how much you like science.”

“Yeah, I’m glad I don’t have to have a fight with science because it disagreed about us,” said Sunset facetiously.

At that point their alarm went off and Rarity made to get out of bed but Sunset remained stationary, pinning her down.

“We’ve both got work today so shouldn’t we both be getting ready?” asked Rarity.

Sunset kissed on her the lips and lingered for a few seconds. “Can’t we spare a little time?”

Rarity was going to object but Sunset then dived for her neck and showered it in kisses, each one giving Rarity a spark until she couldn’t refuse. “I’ll give you one minute,” she said as she closed her eyes and let herself enjoy Sunset’s lips as they pecked their way back up to hers.

Three minutes later, Rarity again tried to get out of bed but Sunset was still keen in keeping her there. “Sunset, Darling, we need to get up.”

“Sorry,” said Sunset sat up straddling Rarity, “I just wanted to make you feel special after last night.”

“Come to think of it, I am very insulted you fell asleep,” scolded Rarity dramatically, realising Sunset still felt the need to apologise for sleeping, “and the only way you can make it up to me is by waking me up with sex all week.”

“That sounds fair,” said Sunset as she grinned, already thinking of what she could do each morning.

As requested, Sunset woke her girlfriend up with sex every morning for the next week. To keep things interesting, she brought some toys to bed with her and each day Rarity awoke to something different. There were combinations of anal fingering, vibrators and, of course, oral fun but Rarity's favourite had been waking to see Sunset straddling her, naked, and riding their doubled ended dildo. She had been mesmerised by the rise and fall of her flaming mane and the captivating bounce of her chest which resulted in that wake-up call ended up as a morning of wild sex which only stopped when both were too exhausted to carry on.
