Chapter 1

Josh’s alarm incessantly buzzed on his nightstand. With a grunt, he rolled over and reached for it, trying to silence the infernal sound. His hand brushed against the hard, metal surface and knocked it onto the floor. Somehow, the ringing grew louder and more insufferable. He sat up, pushing the sheets off of him as he stretched. Licking his dry lips, he couldn’t help but let out a rather large yawn. “Stupid thing...” he muttered as he used his feet to pull the alarm clock closer. Josh picked it up, then hit the top of the damned device as hard as he could. Near absolute silence met his ears. With a sigh of relief, he relaxed, falling back onto his bed as he tossed the damned machine back onto his nightstand. He slid back under the sheets and closed his eyes, hoping to get a few more minutes of sleep.

Ever since coming to Equestria for his petroleum company, he learned that his new job required him to wake up at an ungodly hour, something he had not expected when he accepted the position. The money wasn’t bad, but part of him always wondered if it was worth it, to leave his family and friends behind for his six month rotation on this planet. The ponies were friendly enough, but since he wasn’t one of them, he always felt ostracized.

When he read about the position months ago back on Earth, he never expected that he’d be picked to go to a new world, let alone one filled with magical and flying ponies. It had been quite the shock when he had seen a pair of unicorns lifting a half-ton piece of machinery that his company had sent through with him upon his arrival. He was the second man sent to oversee the operation, and even though he felt that he was under-qualified for this position, his boss thought otherwise.

While his heart yearned to stay in bed for another few hours, he knew that he couldn’t keep his fellow co-workers and ponies waiting. He was the top dog in this operation, which meant that he usually had to be one of the first ones up every single morning.

While getting up early wasn’t anything new to him, the long hours and lack of romantic contact had been rather draining these past couple of months. He’d been dating in the year before his trip to Equestria, but both of his budding relationships, for some reason or another, had petered out. Whilst that was disappointing, the girls had claimed that he couldn’t give them enough time, and he knew his job was the culprit. One day a week wasn’t enough for them, and while he would have loved to have kept dating, he loved his job even more, and it was most likely the reason why he had been sent here in the first place.

With four months to go left in his rotation, he wondered how life would be like back on Earth after spending so much time in the land of magical talking ponies. He rolled over, fluffed his pillow, and right as he was about to lay his head back down, he heard somepony knock on his bedroom door.

“Josh, you up yet?” Daring Do’s soft voice came from behind the door.

“Ugh... yeah, I am,” Josh said, pushing the sheets off just in time. Daring pushed the door open right as he stood up. Faking a yawn, he grinned as he saw Daring yawn a moment later. Works every time... he thought with a smirk. “You get enough sleep last night, ma’am?”

“Sure did, though having a cloud bed sure does help! And I told you to not call me that; it makes me feel old. Two months is long enough to call us friends, right?” Daring Do trotted forward and flopped down onto his bed, prodding the mattress with a hoof as she stretched out. “I don’t know how you humans can sleep on such... archaic spring mattresses. Once you’ve experienced the wonders of sleeping on a cloud, it sure can’t be beat!”

“Oh yeah? How come us humans didn’t get such nice beds?”

“Well... cloud beds are kinda tricky to transport. When I heard this new gig was going to be a year long, I had some movers transport my bed to my new quarters. It was... pretty expensive,” Daring said with a giggle. “Cost about a fifth of what I paid for the bed, but it was well worth it.”

Josh sat down on the bed next to her as she rolled over onto her stomach. “Any chance you’d show me before I leave?” he asked, throwing on a confident grin. He held Daring’s gaze for a few moments before he blushed, glancing away when he realized what she might have thought he meant. “N-Nevermind, forget I said that.” He pushed himself off of the bed and walked over to the closet and pulled out his outfit for the day: his favorite pair of blue jeans and a dark grey T-shirt.

“It’s okay...” Daring’s ears flicked back as she watched him pull his shirt off, trying her hardest not to blush at the idea of luring him into her bed for a romp under the sheets. It’d been much too long since she’d had any sort of romantic feelings for anyone, and Josh had treated her with more respect and kindness than any of the other humans and ponies she’d worked with. By her standards, he was pretty handsome, and the way his muscled upper body glowed in the morning sun’s light made her tail swish back and forth behind her. When she felt a sole butterfly flit about in her stomach, appearing out of nowhere, she glanced away, shoving her feelings down with a bit of sadness.

She knew that she couldn’t let her feelings for somepony get in the way of her job, especially when it was so dangerous.

But then again, nopony had shown her any affection lately.

After they had spent the last couple of months building a new pumping station, today was the day that she was taking Josh further west to where the the infamous black lakes lay for a bit of scouting. She had always avoided them like the plague, mostly due to their strong stench, though she’d heard tales of ponies drowning in them, unable to escape from its thick, oily grasp. When the humans came and learned about the black lakes, they had struck a deal with the princesses to let them harvest the liquid and transport it back to their world. Celestia was especially happy to make such a deal, for it would allow ponies to settle the land in the future and make new towns, allowing for the population of Equestria to grow without the worries and burdens of overpopulation.

“You gonna take a shower before we go? We’re probably still gonna get dirty,” Daring said with a shrug, slipping from his bed.

“Might be a good idea, yeah. I was so tired yesterday that after dinner, I pretty much passed out on my bed! You know what I mean?” Josh asked as tossed his outfit over his shoulder with a fresh towel.

“Definitely. So do you want me to wait outside, or...” Daring pawed at the ground with a hoof. “Would you rather have me wait in here? Maybe we could get breakfast together?” she asked. “Celestia knows I hate eating alone...” she muttered under her breath.

“Yeah, you can chill here. I won’t take long. Besides, it’s pretty hot outside; might as well stay inside for as long as we can, right?” Josh pushed the door open to his bathroom with a foot, then closed the door behind him.

When Daring heard the sound of running water come from the other side of the door, she hopped up onto his bed again and stretched herself out, laying her head in between her forelegs. She closed her eyes for a moment as she breathed in through her nose, getting a thick whiff of Josh’s scent. Daring felt a shiver run down her back, her thighs tingling as thoughts of him holding her down and having his way with her danced through her mind.

She imagined the feel of Josh’s weight pinning her to the sheets and the tug of his hand grabbing her mane. She felt a single droplet of arousal slip from her folds. Her eyes went wide as she felt it trickle down her leg, tickling her as it finally fell to his sheets. She fanned her scent away with her tail, flicking it back and forth. When she could no longer smell it, she let a soft smile slide on her face as she let her fantasy come back to the front of her mind. Could I really be attracted to... another species? she thought, feeling her cheeks warm up in a soft blush. When Josh opened the bathroom door, her thighs clamped together. She glanced up at him with a nervous smile, doing her best to not act like he’d just caught her doing something naughty.

Wrapping a towel around his waist, Josh opened his bathroom door, noticing a distinct blush on Daring Do’s cheeks. “Uh...” He stopped drying his hair with another towel for a moment as he stood in the open doorway, wondering what she had just been doing. “I’ll be ready to go in a couple of minutes, okay?”

“O-Okay!” Daring blurted out as her eyes drifted down to his toned chest. Where most of the other men from Earth had let themselves go a little, Josh was the complete opposite. He made it a point to work out nearly every day, and his body showed it. His chest was firm, still wet from his shower. Daring had to stop herself from drooling at the sight.

When Josh closed the bathroom door to change into his new clothes, she lifted her left hind leg and peered beneath it, spotting a small stain of her juices on his sheets. “Great...” Knowing that she saw him doing laundry yesterday, she flipped the sheet over on itself and prayed that he wouldn’t notice.

When the bathroom door opened again, Daring watched Josh step out fully clothed, her tail swishing back and forth again. Stop that! Daring thought as she bit down on her cheek, making her tail grow still. “So, uh... good to go?” she asked, pushing herself up as she pinned her tail between her hind legs. She flapped her wings, flying to his bedroom door as she hoped he’d just follow her out to give her stain time to dry.

“Yeah, just gotta make the bed real quick!” Josh ran a hand through his wet hair, pushing it back as he stepped up to his bed. “I always liked coming home to a tidy room after a long day of work.”

Uh oh... “Yeah, I know what you mean. So... wanna meet outside? I’ll be at the bottom of the stairs,” Daring said, her eyes darting between Josh and the stain on the bed.

“Sounds good to me!”

Great... now he’s gonna think I was masturbating on his bed... This is gonna be super awkward... Daring thought as she nudged his bedroom door open. She trotted down the short hallway and turned left, standing at the top of the stairs leading to the ground floor. The door leading outside was propped open, so she opened her wings wide and hopped into the air, timing her flapping just right so that her wings wouldn’t clip the door frame. “Heh, knew I’d make it...” she said, folding her wings as she wiped her brow with a hoof. She sat down and glanced around, taking in the sights of all the drilling equipment. The humans had brought through many vehicles, and were still in the process of building large tanks to hold the oil they were going to drill for. Lengths of steel pipe lay stacked on each other, taking up most of the storage space next to the dorms.

Workers, both ponies and humans, were just starting to wake up as the sun’s light barely broke over the top of the horizon. Daring felt a shiver run down her back as a breeze ran by, making her ruffle her wings. “I wonder what’s on the menu for breakfast today...” she murmured to herself as she heard Josh’s footsteps echo behind her.

“Hey, you...” Josh stepped out of the dorm and closed the door behind him. “Ready to get some breakfast?” he asked with a soft smile.

“Sure!” Daring started trotting away, making Josh jog just to keep up with her. “Oh, sorry,” she said with a sheepish smile. “I keep forgetting that you humans walk a lot slower than us.”

“It’s cool. Any idea what’s on the menu for breakfast?” Josh asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“Um... it’s Friday, so that means us ponies get oatmeal, and if I remember correctly, you guys get scrambled eggs and toast.” Daring spotted the mess hall as they walked around the corner of the dorm. “I can’t wait to get some coffee, by the way. If I don’t drink at least a cup or two, I’m a zombie until the afternoon.”

“Heh, really? I’m the same way!” As he stood in front of the mess hall, Josh paused as his favorite smell in the world hit his nose. “Woah, when did we get bacon?” he asked, looking through the doors. “I’ve only heard rumors that we might get some, but looks like they were true!”

“I still don’t get why you humans like to eat meat,” Daring said with a smirk as she playfully nudged his leg with a wing. “You don’t need meat to live, ya know.” The scent of what she assumed was bacon teased her nose, making it scrunch up in distaste.

“Oh, I know, it’s just that it’s so tasty.” Josh licked his lips as a wide grin slid on his face. “So... wanna meet back here in a few minutes? Kinda weird how we have separate mess halls for humans and ponies...”

“Can you meet me in the ponies’ mess hall?” Daring asked, fluffing her wings as the hair on the back of her neck started to rise. “I don’t really like that smell,” she murmured.

“Oh, uh... that’s fine with me.”

“Thanks,” Daring said, shooting him a thankful smile. She opened her wings to fly a little bit down the road, but stopped right before she flapped them. “Oh, and Josh?” she asked, her right hoof raised as her tail swished about. “Could you, uh... get me a coffee from your mess hall? The coffee they give us in our mess hall isn’t... well... it sucks; it tastes like they water it down so they have enough for everypony.” When Josh nodded, she shot him another grin and flew away.

“Yeah, I’ll get you some, cutie!” Josh said, turning to walk into the mess hall.

Did he just call me cutie? Daring thought as her eyebrows furrowed, hovering in midair thirty feet or so above the ground. She shot a glance over her shoulder, but Josh was already inside the mess hall. Was it just the wind, or am I imagining things? With a quick shrug, she made quick time to the other mess hall, and once she cleared a few trees, she groaned as she spotted a line already as long as the human dorms were spilling out the front door. “Come on...” she muttered under her breath. “I can’t be that late, can I?”

Once she landed, she trotted up to the mare at the back of the line. “Hey, why’s the line so long?” she asked, throwing on a friendly smile.

The mare sighed. “Some newbie cook accidentally spilled all of the oatmeal, so they are all cleaning it up so they can make some more.... and I’m already pretty hungry...”

“Yeah, same...” Daring heard her stomach grumble. “What about coffee? There any of that?”

“Probably,” the mare said with a huff, making it clear that she didn’t want to talk. “Though by the time we get up there, it’ll be all gone; it’s like the entire camp is here!”

“...Great...” Daring Do said as she sat down. Many minutes passed in silence, the line not budging an inch. Just when she was starting to get fed up, Daring felt someone nudge her shoulder, making her look up. “Oh, Josh! Please tell me one of those is for me...” she stood up, her tail wagging back and forth like a dog’s as she spotted two cups of coffee in his hands.

“Of course! I said I’d get you one, didn’t I?” He glanced around, spotting a table in the eating area on the side of the building. “Wanna go eat over there?” he asked, pointing it out.

“Well, I don’t know if you can see, but we have an issue with breakfast on our end of things. It should get straightened up pretty soon, and I should have my food in say... twenty minutes if the line starts moving?” Daring’s shoulders slumped as she glanced back over her shoulder. “Scratch that, looks like it’s gonna be a lot longer.”

Josh took a few steps and managed to get a glimpse of a few ponies in the mess hall running back and forth. “Yeah, sure looks like it... Good thing I grabbed some extra food, huh? Being the boss here has its perks.”

Daring’s head whipped up as her eyes went wide. “Please tell me you’re not joking.”

Josh laughed as he patted his bag. “Nah, I’m not! Come on, let’s go get a table.”

Daring couldn’t help but sneak a sniff at his bag as they walked towards the eating area, though she couldn’t really pick up any scents aside from its leathery smell. She sat down on the cushion that the mess hall workers set out each morning for ponies, then glanced up at Josh. “Uh... wait, there’s nothing for you to sit on...” And I don’t wanna go sit in the human’s area... That smell... A shiver ran down her back as smelled a little bit of it on him. Heh, if we’re gonna spend the next couple of days out in the wilderness, he’s gonna need another shower! she thought as she tried to hold back a smirk.

“No worries! I’ll just take a cushion. The table’s low enough for me to use sitting down anyways, so I’ll be fine.” He lifted the bag’s strap from his shoulder with a couple of fingers and set it down on the table, then placed Daring’s cup of coffee in front of her. “Cream and two sugars, right?” he asked, sitting down on the cushion next to her.

“How’d you know?” Daring asked, cocking her head to the side as she pulled the mug in front of her.

Josh shrugged and grinned. “Lucky guess?”

Daring shot him a playful inquisitive look, then relented as she wrapped her cold hooves around her mug. She smiled, the wondrous scent of coffee filling her nose. She took a small sip to see if it was too hot, and when she realized that it wasn’t, she took a large gulp. “Ah... that hits the spot...” she murmured. “Thanks a lot, really.”

“It’s no problem. If you want, I can get you a cup of coffee from the human’s mess hall each morning since we’re gonna be working together.”

“That sounds awesome. Sooo... you said something about food?” she asked, her ears flicked up, the beginnings of another smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

“Sure did!” Josh reached into his bag and pulled out an apple and an orange. “Which would you like? Whatever you pick, I’ll have the other.”

“Nah, you choose! It’s your food, after all,” Daring said, her eyes lingering on the juicy red apple. She flicked her eyes up to meet his, then back down to the apple, then back at his eyes.

Josh got the hint and tossed her the apple with a knowing grin. “You ponies and your apples...” he said, peeling away the orange’s thick skin with his nail. “So, uh... do ponies here like getting ear scritches? We have ponies back on Earth, but they can’t talk, fly, or do anything magical like the ponies here can do, but they sure do love getting ear scritches!”

“Ear scritches? I’m not sure what you’re talking about,” Daring Do said in between bites.

“Can I show you? If you don’t like it, you can just let me know and I’ll stop.”

Daring paused as she looked up at him with a curious gaze. “Uh... sure.”

“Okay, so first we need to take off your hat...” Josh said softly, carefully lifting her hat from her head. He placed it on the table, then brushed her mane aside, his fingers scratching the base of her left ear.

Daring’s eyes drifted shut as her left ear flicked of its own accord. She leaned into his fingers as a new feeling graced her ear, fine but not tickling, soothing but not tiring. Like a cool summer breeze it fanned out until her whole form was set at ease. After a few moments of silence, her eyes went wide as she felt her cheeks warm up as she blushed. She cleared her throat, then slammed her hat back on her head as she stood up. “I, uh... I think I left my trail mix back in my dorm. I’ll be back in a few minutes, okay?” she asked, not waiting for an answer and risking Josh seeing her blush.

“Uh, alright,” Josh said, letting his hand fall back into his lap. She loved them. he thought with a smirk.

Most of their journey into the forest was spent in silence as Daring Do worried if he’d found the wet spot on his bed. As the sun slowly crept up into the sky, she started feeling more and more confident that he hadn’t found it. This was a welcome assurance, since it would have been otherwise too easy to give into the desire to fly over the whole forest rather than hike through it. It would have been rude to leave Josh by himself.

Besides, he was a good travelling companion, and an even better listener. “So, the black lakes are just through these trees. I’ve been to them a few times, and they’re pretty huge! Kinda cool to see if you’ve never seen them before, but you have to be extremely careful. If you’re travelling alone and get trapped in it, it’s like quicksand, but worse. Lots of animals, and even a few ponies, have died in places like this, so just be careful where you step.” She paused for a moment and sat down, stretching her wings.

“Hey, so about earlier...” Josh said, leaning against a nearby tree.

Oh, sweet Celestia, he’s gonna bring up the wet spot on his bed... Daring thought as her heart skipped a beat. “Uh, yeah? What about?”

“Well... what’d you think about the ear scritches? You seemed like you were getting into them.”

“W-What? No I wasn’t!” Daring backpedaled, looking for an escape route.

“Oh, come on, you were loving them!” Josh sat down and crossed his legs, his back pressed firmly against the tree. “You were even leaning into it just like the ponies back on Earth would do!” he said, a cheeky grin on his face.

Daring held his gaze for a few moments then relented. She crossed the short distance between them and sat down in front of him, her tail swishing back and forth in the dirt. “...Fine, yeah, I liked them,” she admitted with a blush. Daring avoided Josh’s gaze until she heard him clear his throat. With a bit of hesitation, she slowly looked up at him. “What?”

“You want some more?” he asked with a gentle smile.

“Uh...” She dug into the dirt with her left hoof as she thought about it.

“It’s totally fine if you don’t want to,” Josh said, reaching into his bag. “Besides, you’re probably pretty stinky from two hours of walking through this horrible heat.”

“What?! I am not stinky!” Daring exclaimed with a huff and a pout, her wings flaring out. “Mares don’t get stinky; that’s common knowledge in Equestria. If anybody is stinky, it’s definitely you!” she said, gesturing at him with her right wing.

“Perhaps, and that might very well be true, but has anybody told you how cute you look when you pout?” Josh asked with a laugh. “Here, I have another apple if you want it. I figured that since we’re already resting, we might as well break out the snacks.”

Daring’s mouth started to salivate at the thought of munching down on another apple, especially since the ones the humans brought from Earth were especially juicy. She let her gaze drift down to the apple in his hand. She normally would have shot back for being patronized, but wasn’t about to pass up good food offered so easily. “Fine. I accept your apology,” she said, snatching the apple from his hand. She scooted over, laying on her side as she propped her back up against his legs. She tossed her hat in front of her, then took a big bite of the apple.

“So... ear scritches?” Josh asked with another laugh, wondering if that was why she scooted within ear scritching range.

Daring shot a curious look up at him, then shrugged. “If you want to, sure,” she said, secretly loving the idea.

“Awesome!” Josh said, scootching closer to her. He wiggled his fingers, cupped the back of her head, then used his thumb to scratch her left ear while his other fingers scratched her right ear.

“Mmm...” Daring couldn’t help but let her right hind leg thump against the ground, though she forced it to lay still with no small amount of effort. Can’t let him see that I’m enjoying this... she thought as she instinctively pushed her head into his hand. “Don’t think you can just give me an apple so I’ll let you give me ear scritches,” she said, finishing off the apple with a few more big bites. “And don’t tell anyone else that I let you do this, by the way. I have a reputation to uphold!”

“Hey now, liking ear scritches is nothing to be ashamed about,” Josh said as he let his hand slip down the back of her neck, the tips of his fingers running through her soft mane. “What about wings?” he asked. “Don’t ponies like getting their wings preened or something? I see a couple of feathers that are out of—”

“No!” Daring nearly yelled, her eyes going wide as she pushed herself up. “My wings are off limits! They’re really, and I mean, really, sensitive.”

“Oh, sorry! I didn’t know,” Josh said, a worried look upon his face.

“It’s fine... you didn’t know.” Daring tightened her saddlebag, then glanced around. “Speaking of wings, you don’t mind if I fly around a bit, do you? Kinda tired of walking, after all,” she said with a sheepish smile.

“Nah, not at all!” Josh said. “Need a boost?”

“What, like throwing me into the air?” Daring smirked. “I’m good.” With that being said, she looked around, and when she spotted an opening in the canopy to her left, she shot through it, finding an updraft to glide on. Her hooves barely grazed the tips of the trees as she flew, weaving back and forth as she dodged little branches that poked out from the canopy. She flapped her wings, going faster and faster as the wind teased the tips of her feathers. Closing her eyes, she flew a couple of feet higher and opened her eyes, the sun’s overwhelmingly bright light reflecting off of the tar pits that suddenly came into view. She flared her wings to slow down as she clenched her eyes shut, only to run right into a thick branch. Her left wing erupted in pain and collapsed upon itself. Daring’s eyes went wide as she struggled to stay aloft, but it was a losing battle.

The muscles in her good wing started to hurt from the extra flapping as her head whipped around, trying to find something to grab onto. Alas, there was nothing that would hold her weight, and she felt gravity push her back down to the ground in a tight circle. She fell through the canopy, her eyes going wide when the small of her back slammed against a thick branch, making her wince as the breath was knocked from her lungs. She twisted in the air, reaching out for anything to halt her descent, but her hooves found nothing but empty air and the occasional leaf. Daring forced her eyes open, only to see the ground rushing up at her, and a moment later, she slammed onto the unusually soft ground with a plop, her vision fading away into darkness.

She woke up in a daze, her legs, her belly, and wings feeling strangely warm. “Ugh... what’s going on?” she asked, the tip of her hat resting against her muzzle. She tried to lift a hoof to push it back to see where she was, but before she could do so, an all too familiar smell hit her nostrils. Her eyes going wide, she jerked her head back, knocking her hat off to find herself slowly sinking into a tar pit. “Oh no... no no no!” Daring pushed her wings open with all of her strength, pushing aside the pain in her left wing as she flapped with all of her might, only to get them trapped in the pit’s oily grasp. Feeling her rump sink deeper and deeper in the muck, she looked around, trying to stay calm. There! she thought, spotting the shore a few feet out of reach. She stretched as far as she could, though the weight of the sticky muck kept her forelegs within its grasp. Her heart racing a million miles a minute, she realized that there was only one thing she could do. “Josh! Help!” she screamed as loud and long as she could.

Chapter 3

As they walked back into camp, Daring had to force herself from blushing, for her tail would simply not stop flagging high. Unlike other mares, whenever she recently had sex, her tail would hike up, as if her body was begging for more. She was unsure why her tail did this, but it always inevitably led to more sex. Perhaps it was because from the very first time she had sex, she would hike her tail up around her ex-lovers, showing them exactly what they did. A darker side of her loved to act like she was nothing more than breeding stock, and walking around the house as their cum dripped from her slit only made her lover want to mount her again. A small part of her mind wondered if she had conditioned herself over time to keep her tail held up high after sex, and while she was slightly embarrassed that it still happened, she never let it get her down.

“Still kinda bummed I lost my hat...” Daring Do muttered as they walked past a couple of ponies heading towards the mess hall for dinner. “It was there from the very beginning, way back when I was an itty bitty filly. My late mother bought it for me as a present when I got my cutie mark, and...” Her ears flicked back as she wilted, her heart dropping into her stomach as she remembered her mother’s words from so many years ago. This hat is one of a kind, little one. Protect it with your life, and it’ll protect you forevermore... The words rang in her mind, though she was forced to come back to reality when she stepped in a big puddle of mud. “So... we didn’t get much work done, did we?” Daring asked softly as she moved a little closer to Josh, looking up at him with a wry smile.

“Nah, we didn’t get anything done, but after all that stress, I bet you just wanna go take a nap. I know I would!” Josh said with a chuckle. “I definitely should change out of these clothes... they still kinda smell like tar.”

“Yeah, and I feel like I could soak in a bubble bath for hours,” Daing said, biting her lip as she mulled over what to say next. “Say... would you maybe want to share a bubble bath with me?” she asked with beaming eyes, her ears flicked up, awaiting his response.

Josh shot her an inquisitive look. “A bubble bath, eh? Do they even have tubs around here?”

Daring’s ears flicked down. “...Crap.” Her smile faltered as her innate need for a bubble bath grew three-fold.

“I wouldn’t mind sharing a shower with you, though.” Josh let his hand drift to the back of her head, then ran his fingers through her mane. “Celestia knows you need to brush your mane, too. Maybe I can help with that. My fingers can be used for more than ear scritches, after all.”

“Hm...” Daring cocked her head to the side as her smile returned in full force. “I wouldn’t mind that! And maybe we could have a little fun afterwards in your bed,” she said with a sly smirk as she flicked his crotch with her tail. “I definitely wouldn’t mind feeling those fingers of yours inside me again...”

“Yeah?” Josh chuckled. “Anybody else know that you’re a slut?” Before he could utter anything else, Daring trotted in front of him, rose up on her hind legs, then planted her front hooves on his chest. She glared up at him in the most adorable of ways, her cute little lips forming a small pout.

“No, and we’re going to keep it that way,” Daring hissed out from between her pursed lips. She poked his chest with a hoof and opened her wings wide, her tail swishing from side to side. “Got it?”

“Oh, but of course!” Josh said with a smirk. He wrapped his arms and picked her up, cradling her as if he was holding a baby as he resumed walking back to their building.

“Hey, put me down!” Daring pouted, folding her forelegs over her chest as she squirmed in his grasp.

“Do you really want me to?” Josh asked, looking down at her with a lifted eyebrow. “There’s nothing but mud up ahead all the way back up to our place, and I’m the only one wearing shoes. I don’t like tracking mud back into my room, and your hooves would get so dirty.”

“You know I’m a pegasus, right?” Daring asked, extending her left wing out to emphasize her point.

“Do you think you could fly after losing those feathers? Some of them looked pretty big, and I wouldn’t want you to try to fly and hurt yourself even more. Have you ever hurt your wings this badly before?”

“Yeah.” Daring sighed, then relaxed in his grasp. “Just don’t let anypony see you carrying me like this,” she said, laying her head against his shoulder after she glanced around. Daring took a deep breath and let it out slowly, finally letting her tired muscles relax. Kinda nice of him to carry me the rest of the way... My hoovsies were getting worn out... she thought, feeling herself blush yet again. She shifted about in his grasp, her right hind leg slipping under his right arm. That change in posture made his arm slide all the way up between her hind legs, snugly pressing up against her slightly-aroused folds and clitoris. She clamped her hind legs together to keep from slipping, her eyes shooting open wide as a bit of electric pleasure sparked from her clitoris. After she glanced around to ensure that nopony was around, she gently bucked against his arm, pointedly avoiding his gaze as she smeared her liquids on him, blushing furiously all the while.

“Getting a little frisky, eh?” Josh quickened his pace, feeling heat radiate off of her pussy in greater and greater amounts.

“N-No!” Daring lied. “I’m just, um...”

“Masturbating on my arm?”

“...Maybe.” Her ears flopped down as she buried her muzzle into Josh’s chest, praying that nopony saw her in such a lewd, pent-up state.

“Heh, it’s alright. We’ll be back at my room in a minute, and you can do whatever you want to me. That sound good, cutie?”

Daring waited a few seconds then nodded. She felt him hold her a little tighter as he opened the door to their building. They hurried up the steps and down the hall until they were safe in his room. “And here we are!” he said, kicking off his muddy boots. “See? Wasn’t that easy? You had nothing to worry about, and now you don’t have muddy hooves!”

Daring rolled her eyes with a giggle as Josh let her down. She ruffled her wings then ripped off her shirt, letting it fall to the floor in a crumpled heap. She trotted behind him and pressed her forehead against the back of his legs, pushing him into the bathroom. “Yeah, but you stink of sweat, sex, and tar. I hope that you got a lot of shampoo in there, because we’re gonna need it! I’d rather you smell like my cum than tar, and I’m sure you wouldn’t mind that either.”

“Oh, not at all,” Josh said as he undressed in record time. Now standing before her at half mast, his underwear the only thing concealing his cock, he reached for the knob to turn on the shower and paused. “Say, you wouldn’t happen to have any sex toys back in your room, would you?”

Daring licked her lips, then scratched the back of her neck as she sat down. “I might have a few... Why? You want me to get them?”

“Could be fun,” Josh nonchalantly said with a shrug. “So... wanna get something real quick to spice things up?”

Daring peered up at him with an inquisitive gaze, then relaxed, choosing to smile instead as she wondered what he was thinking about doing to her. “Yeah, alright. Don’t go anywhere, stud.” She flicked his legs with her tail as she trotted from the room, hiking it up so he could see her glistening folds. “And get the shower going, too. Mine always takes so long to heat up!”

“That’s because your room is all the way down the hall! The water heater is on my side of the building.” Josh stuck his tongue out at her as she trotted back out in the hallway.

“I saw that!” Daring called out over her shoulder as she trotted towards her bedroom.

“I wanted you to see it!” Josh yelled back. He twisted the shower’s knob all the way to the left and pulled on it, turning the shower on. Freezing cold water burst from the showerhead, hitting his forearm and sending chills down his back. He whipped it out of the shower and shook the water off, then waited for the water to heat up. Hearing somepony knock on his open door, he straightened up and glanced over his shoulder to find Daring with a thick vibrator held firmly in her teeth. He shot a smirk her way as she kicked his bedroom door shut. “Anypony see you with your biggest sex toy held in your mouth?” he asked as she spit it out into his open hand.

“Nope!” Daring chirped with glee. “And it’s all charged up! You just press the little blue button and away it goes!” She hopped under the hot stream of water, closed her eyes, and smiled as the water cascaded down her shoulders. “That toy is waterproof, by the way...” she said with a sultry grin.

“Nice... So this little button here?” he asked, turning the toy on. The light gray head of the device instantly started vibrating, almost like it was trying to leap from his hand. “There any way to turn it down?”

“Nuh-uh, and that’s the way I like it!” Daring said, hiking her tail up high. “So why don’t you help me out a little? And take your undies off; we won’t be needing them for the rest of the night!”

“Oh, really? I was thinking of keeping them on,” Josh said, followed by a quick chuckle as he whipped them off. “So do you, uh... just stick this in your pussy or what?” Daring flicked his bare chest with her tail. “So is that a yes or a no?” he asked with a chuckle, climbing into the shower behind her.

“Come on, stop acting like you’ve never seen a vibrator before and stop teasing me.” Daring turned the shower’s handle a little more to the side, making the water heat up a bit. “Remember what I said?”

“It’s not nice to keep a mare waiting?” Josh asked with a smirk.

Chapter 2

Josh tossed the remains of his apple aside, stretched, then placed his hands behind his head as he let his eyes slide shut. Suddenly, Daring’s voice pierced through the woods, startling him a little bit. “Josh! Heeelp!” he heard her yell. His eyes shooting open, he scrambled back to his feet and ran off in the direction of her voice. “Keep yelling!” he called out at the top of his lungs, wishing he had a machete to help him get through the branches and brush in his way.

Daring gulped as the tar pulled her deeper within its grasp. “Over here!” she yelled, the tar already up to her neck. She kept flailing, trying to get closer to the shore. The more she struggled, the more her strength faded away; the weight of the tar was simply too much to bear. As it crept up over her back, Daring pushed her wings up out of the muck and spread them out across the surface, trying to think of anything that would slow her descent. “Jooooooosh!” she screamed, tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she realized that she might actually die. It can’t end like this, it just can’t! she thought.

“I’m here!” Josh said, stopping just on the edge of the shore. “How’d you get in there?” He looked around for a broken branch for her to latch onto, then spotted one a few feet away. Josh grabbed it, then got on his hands and knees. “Grab onto this!” he yelled, watching as Daring sunk a few more inches into the tar.

“I can’t! It’s too heavy!” Daring yelled back at him.

“Fine, then I’m coming in.” Josh tossed the stick aside, then carefully walked into the tar pit, testing to make sure that he had a good footing before he took another step.

“No, you’ll get trapped in here too!” Daring closed her eyes, fearing the worst as the tar brushed against her chin. She whipped her head up, hoping that it’d give him just enough time to pull her out before she slipped all the way under the surface.

“C’mere, you!” Josh said, pushing his arms into the muck. He managed to get a good grasp on Daring’s right foreleg, and he tugged with all of his strength. When her back appeared from beneath the oily surface, he wrapped his arms behind her forelegs and used the rest of his strength to pull her from death’s grasp. Making sure that he didn’t hurt her wings, he turned around and slowly made his way back to the shore with her nestled in his embrace. Josh walked deeper into the forest, then fell to his knees. Daring was quivering in his grasp, her feathers full of oily goop. Many were broken, out of place, and he was sure that more than a few were missing. Wanting to preserve what little dignity she had left, Josh set her down as gently as he could. “Hey... you okay?” he asked, his voice full of worry as his eyes darted across her face.

“I... I think so, but... my wings!” Daring’s head whipped around as she inspected each one. “Oh no... no no no!”

“Daring, relax!” Josh said, placing both of his hands on her shoulders. “Just breath, alright? You’re alive...”

“Yeah, you... you saved my life...” she murmured, her voice trembling. Daring took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves, wiped some of the muck off her legs and chest, then sat down with a grateful smile on her face. “Think we should go wash off? There’s a hot spring a little ways away in that direction,” she said, pointing behind him.

“Probably would be a good idea, yeah. Like you said, mares can’t be stinky!” Josh said with a chuckle. “You okay to walk, or do you want me to carry you?”

“I can walk well enough on my own, silly,” Daring said as she flicked her tail all around, trying to get as much of the oil off of her as she could before it started to dry. “Now come on, I don’t want to let this stuff dry on my fur...” she said, trotting away into the forest. Then I’d really stink...

“I, uh... but I left my bag back there...” Josh said as he watched Daring disappear behind a tree.

Daring stopped, then poked her head back out from around the tree. “Do you really want to let that stuff dry on you?” She chuckled when Josh started jogging towards her. “Heh, I thought not.” When he caught up to her, she started trotting beside him. “Besides, we can go back and get your bag on our way back, unlike my hat...” She shot a glare at the oily goop, her upper lip curling as she snarled at it.

They made quick time to the hot springs. Stripping off her shirt, Daring tested the water with a hoof, and once she found that it was okay, she slid into it with a sigh, leaning against the rocks as she ran her hooves all over her body. “Thank Celestia we made it in time!” she said, watching as the goopy tar slipped from her limbs. “Hehe, look at it all coming off!”

Josh grinned, glad that she was back in relatively high spirits. He kicked off his boots, took off his socks, then stuck a toe inside the water like Daring had done moments ago. “Kinda hot in there... you sure it’s okay?” he asked.

“Sure is! I mean, yeah, it’s a little hot, but you get used to it pretty quick.” She looked up at him as he started to lower himself in the pool. When he finally sat beside her, she sighed in content, then closed her eyes as she heard him start to wipe off the muck. Her tail swished back and forth in annoyance as she remembered that she’d have to clean her wings. “Ugh...”

“What is it?” Josh asked, pausing for a moment. He hooked a finger down the front of his shirt and peered inside of it, finally noticing that most of his chest was covered in tar. With a blush, he made sure Daring wasn’t looking, then snuck a hand down the front of his pants and confirmed his worst fear: he was going to have to get naked in front of his coworker. He figured that he could start with his shirt, knowing that she’d already seen him shirtless, so he pulled it off and wrung it underneath the surface of the pool. When it was pretty clean, he pulled it out of the water, squeezed it until he got as much water out of it as possible, then laid it down on the rocks near the edge of the pool to dry. “You don’t mind if I take off my pants to clean them, do you? I’m wearing underwear, so you really wouldn’t see anything, uh... intimate.”

“Except your intimates?” Daring asked with a short laugh. “It’s cool, really. Us ponies are naked most of the time anyways, so... go ahead and whip ‘em off!” she said, hiding her grin with a hoof as a light blush appeared on her cheeks.

With a matching blush on his cheeks, Josh hooked his thumbs around his waistband and wiggled out of his jeans, his underwear on full view for anyone to see. Just imagine I’m going for a swim... he thought, trying to rationalize the situation in a way that would make things more comfortable.

Well, as comfortable as one can be sitting in your underwear next to a cute mare.

“So, uh...” Daring glanced away as she licked her dry lips. “The tar isn’t coming off of my wings as easily as I thought it would.” She held up her wings and unfolded them, the oily substance still clinging to her feathers as if its life depended on it. “Do you have any idea how pegasi preen their feathers?” she asked, watching Josh toss his pants next to his shirt.

“Uh... with their mouth?” Josh asked with a raised eyebrow. “Oh...” That’d be pretty disgusting... Dunno if that’d even be safe.

“Yeah...” She sat up with a blush, eyeing Josh’s black boxer briefs through the water. “I really don’t want to lick this gunk off my wings, so could you... you know...” She glanced away as she felt herself blush like a filly thinking about her first crush.

“You want me to lick them clean?” Josh asked with a snicker.

“Of course not!” Daring laughed, splashing some water on him. “I would really appreciate it if you could use your fingers to clean them, but...” She let her wings slip below the surface of the water, then extended her right wing all the way out for him. “You need to know some things about us pegasi first.”

“Oh? Like what?” Josh asked as he slid closer to her, stopping when they were a few inches apart.

“Well... remember how I said I didn’t want you touching my wings earlier? That’s because they’re super sensitive, and I really cannot stress that enough. They’re so sensitive, in fact, that if touched the right way, you can make me get, um... aroused,” she squeaked out. “Wings are like that so that we can sense changing wind currents, thermals, all that stuff. I know this is a lot to ask, especially on our first day of working together, but... can you help me?” she asked bashfully, flicking her gaze up to meet his. “I might get a little... frisky, too.”

“That’s fine, so...” Josh said softly, holding up her wing between two fingers. “How would you like me to start?”

“Um... I’ve never had a human preen me before, and I doubt you’ve had experience doing something like this before, so... try running your fingers along each feather under the water, I guess. And please, for the love of Celestia, be as gentle as you can.”

“Alright.” Josh took a deep breath, pinched her farthest feather at its base to separate it from the others, then slowly dragged his fingers down it. The muck slid right off, save for a few little bits and pieces that remained that were quickly taken care of with a second pass. “How am I doing so far?”

“F-Fine,” Daring grunted out.

Josh’s eyebrows furrowed. “I’m not hurting you, am I?” he asked, his voice heavy with concern.

“Nope! It’s actually the complete opposite.” Daring glanced at her right wing when she felt him let go of the first feather. “Uh, hehe, I think you need to redo that feather. It’s touching the dirty ones again.”

“My bad...” Josh held the feather away from the others again, then restored it to its former glory. Looking down her wing, he gulped as it dawned on him how many he had to clean. After a few deep breaths, he held the first feather away from the rest with a finger, then repeated the process until he came across a broken feather. It was almost snapped in half, and he knew that it couldn’t stay. “What do you want me to do about this feather?” he asked, gingerly holding it up for her to see.

“Crap... I hate dealing with broken feathers...” Daring said with a soft whine. “You’re going to have to pull it out for me.”

“Isn’t that going to hurt?”

“Yeah... but it has to be done. Just grab it tightly by the base and yank it out, and please, for the love of Celestia, be careful...”

“Okay, I’ll do my best...” Josh murmured as he leaned in. Making sure to keep the other feathers away, he ran his fingers up the broken feather. Grabbing the base between his thumb and forefinger, he waited until Daring nodded at him, then he yanked it out. Daring winced, her wing trembling in his grasp as a little bit of blood seeped from the hole. Tossing the broken feather aside, he placed his thumb on her wound until it stopped bleeding. With Daring’s wing still trembling, he lifted his left hand up and scratched her between the ears. “You alright?” he asked softly. “Did it hurt?”

Daring took a slow, shuddering breath as she forced herself to not jump on his crotch. “Y-Yeah, to both your questions.” She blinked several times, her heart racing in her chest. Pulling out a feather was never a pleasant experience, but the way he did it, gently running his fingers up its length before he pulled it out made it feel sensual, almost akin to a lover tending to her most intimate needs. She blushed deeply at the thought, wondering how long she would last before she couldn’t take it anymore. “You know you’re doing me a huge favor, right?”

“Really?” Josh moved on to the next feather, finishing it a little faster this time with the same attention to detail like the ones before it. Already almost halfway done, he noticed that she was quivering slightly. “What... Oh, yeah...” He suddenly remembered how Daring had spoken of the possibility of her becoming aroused. “Never mind,” he said with a blush. He started pitching a tent underwater, and no amount of subtle movement with his legs was going to hide his growing erection.

“Mhm...” Daring murmured back, her eyes laser-focused on the rocks across the pool of water. Many minutes passed in silence as she endured the never-ending build-up of pleasure within her core. She had no doubt her lower lips were puffy, and she was absolutely certain that she was leaking no small amount of arousal into the water.

“I’m done with the first wing,” Josh said, sitting back for a few moments. “How’s it look? Not bad for a first-time preener, eh?”

Daring lifted the soaking wet wing out of the water and inspected each feather, licking each and every one of them and moving a couple back into their proper place. “You actually did pretty good...” Her slick folds screamed at her to give them some attention, and she couldn’t help but give in. With her ears flicking back, she pushed against the rocks that she’d been sitting on and yelped as she brushed against a rather sharp and pointy rock. She jumped up, splashing Josh with a lot of water. Unbeknownst to her, she was giving him a clear view of her fully-aroused pussy as she panted softly, waiting for the pain to disappear.

Josh’s eyes widened as water slid down from Daring’s dock, dribbling down both sides of her engorged, puffy labia before it slipped down her inner thighs. Daring’s folds glimmered in the light, her arousal dripping from her delicate, blossoming flower. A wondrous scent assaulted his nose, making his mind go hazy as time seemed to slow down. His erection threatened to burst free from his underwear, almost painfully so as the fabric was stretched to its absolute limit. Wondering if she was doing this on purpose, he almost wanted to lean in and give her slick pussy a nice, long lick, but instead, he bit his bottom lip before he lightly coughed. “Uh... Daring?” He tapped her rear end with his index finger, peering over her butt with a lifted eyebrow.

“Oh my gosh!” Daring sat down as quickly as she could, which just so happened to be on Josh’s outstretched legs. Her eyes widened as she felt his cock brush against her right hind leg, making her jump up again, her pussy once again on full display.

“Hey, relax!” Josh lifted his hands and closed his eyes, trying to block most of the splashing.

Daring scooted away from him and sat down with a furious blush on her cheeks, her heart racing a million miles a minute. She couldn’t bear to look up at him, not after what she’d shown him. What does he think of me now? she thought, her eyes darting back and forth across the pool. He probably thinks I’m some sort of cheap slut... Her ears flicked down at the thought, for she felt that any chance she had at a relationship with him had surely slipped through her hooves. She closed her eyes, clenching them so tightly that little stars appeared in her vision. If only I was a little nicer to him... then maybe... As she felt a tear start to form in the corner of her left eye, she paused as she felt his fingers scratch the base of her ears. “What’re... What are you doing?” she asked softly, her breath catching in her throat.

“Making sure you’re okay,” Josh said softly. “You, uh... looked a little pent up, and this was the first thing that popped into my mind to help you calm down.”

“Thanks...” Daring couldn’t help but let a bashful smile slide on her face. “And sorry about that, I really didn’t mean to show you, well... everything.”

“It’s fine, I didn’t mind,” Josh said with a laugh. “So... lemme guess: my preening got you so worked up you tried to masturbate on a sharp rock?” Daring’s blush deepened twofold, giving him the answer he was looking for. “Heh, thought so.” Daring’s blush deepened further. “You know...” he sat back, letting his left hand slip from her head as he scratched the back of his neck with his other hand. “If you want, I can help you blow off some steam.”

Daring giggled at that. “Nice pun, but...” She glanced around, even though she was sure that they were alone, then bit back a whimper as she thought of the possibility of turning him down. She needed some release, and he had just offered her what her body and mind yearned for. “What would you do?” she asked, her voice soft, quivering, yet full of restrained excitement.

“Whatever you want me to do,” Josh casually replied, looking her dead in the eyes.

Daring studied his gaze and facial expression for several seconds, searching for any signs of trickery or ill-will. “You... You wouldn’t tell anybody, would you?” she asked, letting a bit of hopefulness into her voice.

“Of course not. I don’t kiss and tell, but I do have one condition.”

Daring’s shoulders slumped and her smile faltered. “What is it?”

“You have to let me finish preening your other wing,” Josh said with a friendly smirk, knowing all too well that it would only make Daring grow more aroused, and he knew that she knew that as well.

Daring grinned as she stepped over him, letting her tail teasingly brush against his cock. “Very well, then.” She sat down on his lap and leaned against his chest, feeling his cock press against her lower belly. She held out her wing for him to tend to, blushing harder as she felt his cock twitch every couple of seconds.

Josh made quick time with her left wing, leaving her a squirming, trembling mess of a mare as she could do nothing but sit in place until he was finished. When he was finally done, she inspected her wing and was pleasantly surprised to find that her wing was restored to its former glory, save for the fact that it was soaking wet like another more intimate area of her body was. “Wow, you sure got the hang of this pretty quick!” she said with glee. Looking up into his eyes, her breath caught in her throat as she realized how close their heads were. She licked her dry lips, cleared her throat, then said, “Maybe I’ll have you preen me again sometime soon...”

“I’d like that a lot,” Josh said, brushing a bit of wet mane from Daring’s face. He was mildly surprised when she leaned in and nuzzled the side of his neck, the tip of her ear brushing against his cheek as she hummed softly in content. “Heh, what was that for?” he asked as she sat back.

“That’s how ponies tend to show their affection and thanks,” Daring said, looking anywhere but at him. “So... about your offer...” She bit her bottom lip again, waiting for him to say something as she flicked her eyes back up at him.

“Yeah?” Josh felt his briefs tighten again as his erection returned to full mast. “Like I said, whatever you want me to do.”

“Is your, uh... tool clean?” Daring asked, her gaze sliding down his body until her eyes rested on his underwear. “You did kinda jump in the tar after me...”

“Heh, wanna check for me?” He stood up, hooked his thumbs around his boxers, slid them down, stood up, then let Daring get her first look at a human penis.

Her eyes went wide as his cock finally sprang free from his underwear. “It’s bigger than I thought it’d be...” she murmured as she leaned in, giving it a few tentative sniffs. “Glad to see it’s not covered in tar, too,” she said with a chuckle. Her tail hiked up in the air as she licked her lips, her blush returning in full force as her ears flicked back.

“Yeah, same!” Josh said with a laugh. “So... about me helping you blow off some steam...” He grabbed his cock at the base, slowly stroking it up and down as he looked Daring in the eyes.

“...Yeah?” Daring breathlessly asked, her eyes locked on his cock. “Oh! Yeah, um...” She turned around and settled down on the edge of the small pool, finding a comfortable position for her belly. Flicking her tail up and away, she let a sheepish smile slide on her face as she furtively looked over her shoulder. “Could you, uh...” She wiggled her hips, then spread her hind legs for him. “You know...”

“You don’t have to worry about a thing...” Josh said. He knelt down behind her and teasingly dragged a couple of fingers ever so lightly across her left wing, smiling as she moaned softly, her left hind leg quivering as her back arched.

“Come on...” Daring muttered. “You spent at least half an hour preening my wings. They definitely do not need any more attention!” She flicked her mane, then pushed her butt back a little. “Don’t you think I’m aroused enough already?”

“Fair point,” Josh said with a chuckle. Leaving her wings alone, he pulled Daring’s labia apart with his thumbs, feeling every little twitch of her body caused by his tender touch. Glad that he’d trimmed his fingernails the night before, he slid a couple of fingers inside of Daring’s sopping wet pussy, wiggling them all around.

“Sweet Celestia...” Daring clamped down on his fingers as her wings fluttered at her sides. His fingers moving about inside of her was unlike any other sensation in the world, and she knew that she was going to enjoy each and every moment of it to the fullest extent possible. Wondering what could be better than two fingers, she was pleasantly surprised when he slid a third, then a fourth finger inside of her. She couldn’t help but clamp down on them all as a pleasurable shiver ran up her back, emanating from her core.

When she finally let go, her eyes went wide as she felt his thumb rubbing against her clitoris. Her eyes clenched shut as she moaned like a mare in heat, loud and proud. With her nethers begging for more, she opened her mouth to ask him to go faster when he did exactly that, pistoning in and out of her. After what felt like forever, he stopped with his fingers as far as they could go, spread his fingers out as wide as he could, then slowly dragged them all the way out. A whimper forced its way past her lips as she grimaced, feeling terribly empty. “Josh... please...” she whined. “I was so close...”

“Good...” Josh said, standing up behind her. He mounted her, grabbing her by the hips and pushing her into a better position.

She shot him a sly look, knowing exactly what he was planning on doing. “Well, what’re you waiting for? It’s not nice to keep a mare waiting, after all.”

“Is that so?” Josh asked with a smirk. “Well, we best not waste any more time, shall we?” He lifted his sopping wet fist up to his nose and took a deep whiff, his mind going all fuzzy again as her sweet scent made his cock even harder. With her eyes locked on him, he licked each finger clean, always keeping his gaze locked with hers. Her taste drove his mind, body, and soul wild with lust. The desire to please his new lover arose to the forefront of his mind, pushing all other thoughts away. He grabbed his thick cock by the base, lined it up with her dripping pussy, then pushed it inside of her. “Anybody tell you how good you taste?” he asked, sliding his tip in and out of her entrance, knowing that it would drive her absolutely crazy for him. Her warm juices dripped from his cock, the scent of his arousal overwhelming his senses.

“N-No!” Daring said rather sheepishly. “I’d say go easy on me because this is my first time, uh, well... having sex with a human, but I can’t wait any longer!” Without waiting for him to respond, she made sure his tip was inside of her, then pushed her hips back as fast as she could. Her eyes went as wide as they could as a wave of pleasure raced through her body, almost akin to a small orgasm. As her pussy adjusted to his rather thick size, Daring wiggled her hips back and forth, smearing her juices all over his crotch.

“Wait, this is your first time with a human?” Josh asked, gently grabbing her haunches. He pushed her twitching tail out of the way as he reached down, massaging her right cutie mark with the palm of his hand. “I would have gone easier on you if you had said something earlier...” he said with unease. “I guess that kinda explains why you’re so tight, too.”

“Well yeah, I don't really like any of the other humans here,” Daring panted out, his cock still lodged deep in her pussy. “But... you’re different,” she said, her tongue lolling out of her mouth as she felt an overwhelming heat build up within her core, making a few small beads of sweat appear on her brow, no doubt caused by the hot water they were fucking in. She shot another sly glance over her shoulder as she clamped down on his throbbing length. “Remember what I said about keeping a mare waiting?” she asked softly, teasingly flicking her tail against his face.

“Yeah, yeah, I remember.” Josh made sure his grasp on her rear end was firm, pulled back as slowly as he could, then rammed back inside of her, his balls slapping against her clitoris.

Daring’s mouth formed a small, tight ‘O’ as she felt his smooth tip glide against her G-spot. “Gods above, this is better than any treasure hunting...” she muttered under her breath, wondering if she truly believed such words. Each accompanying thrust convinced her that it was. “So... am I your first?” she asked, praying to Celestia that she was, knowing that it would only make this moment more special.

“Nope,” Josh said without thinking, settling into a steady, rhythmic fucking. He leaned down over her back, placed a hand next to her left foreleg, then teased her right wing with his other hand, always keeping the same rhythm.

“...Oh.” Daring’s shoulders slumped a little bit, and she hoped he hadn’t noticed that. Feeling his fucking slow down a tad, her ears flicked back as she realized that he had.

“You are my first mare, though,” Josh added, picking up the pace. "And I couldn't think of anypony more special." Feeling himself start to grow a little tired, he picked up the pace, knowing he had to help her finish before he blew his load.

“Oh! Okay...” Daring said, her ears perking up at that. She felt butterflies flit about in her stomach, and her tail swished back and forth until he felt him grab her dock, holding her tail off to the side. “You sure do know how to make a mare feel special, don’t you?” she asked softly, a sly smile dragging the corners of her lips upwards.

“You have no idea...” Josh murmured as he laid a kiss on the back of her head, right between her ears. He ran a finger as lightly as he dared down the small of her back, down the side of her right hind leg, then finally stopped on her clitoris. Wetting that finger with no small amount of her arousal, he drew small, fast circles on her clitoris, pushed down on her lower belly with the palm of his hand, and grinned as he felt her shiver in his grasp. “You want me to finish inside of you, or...”

“I-Inside!” Daring nearly screamed, her folds getting even slicker at the thought of his balls pumping his hot seed into her pussy.

Josh grinned as Daring moaned louder and louder, her cries of bliss echoing through the trees. He knew she was close, so he fucked her with reckless abandon, as if his life depended on her achieving release, and several seconds later, he felt her clamp down on his cock much tighter than before. “Geez, Daring...” Josh murmured, suddenly struggling to keep up his pace.

“Just... a little... Nggh!” Daring cried out, her pussy rippling along his length as he kept fucking her. Her hind legs lost what little strength they had left, making her lose her grip on the rocks below. It felt as if he was going to slip out of her moments before what she considered the best, and naughtiest part of sex, but he grabbed her haunches and yanked her up, fucking her senseless. She felt herself squirt once, then twice, her vision going hazy as stars exploded within it. After several passionate and glorious thrusts, he pushed his cock as deep inside of her as he could and stopped. She felt his body’s warmth seep into her rear, and with his twitching balls nestled against her throbbing clitoris, she felt a beautiful warmth explode within her, filling her tight passage up and coating every single nerve ending of her tingling, velvety pussy with his cum. As her orgasm faded away, she collapsed on the rocks below, panting heavily as his balls pumped more and more of his seed within her.

Josh smiled as he pulled out of her, watching his cum dribble from her gaping pussy. He kissed her once on each butt cheek, sat down, then gently pulled her into his arms, her head resting on his left shoulder as he let her recover her senses. He slipped back into the water, and when he felt her nuzzle the side of his neck, he let go of her, letting her settle down next to him. “How do you feel?” he asked softly, scratching her behind the ears.

Daring laid her head on his arm, humming in content. “I, uh... I think we need another bath. And more ear scritches... definitely more ear scritches...” she murmured, a small yawn pushing itself past her lips. And I just might have you stick around for when I go into heat next month...
