‘It was a few hours after the crack of dawn when I saw them. That evil pair. They’d been on the run all night but here they were. The two returned to the hotel, the deed done. They were acting quite casual as to not draw suspicion but I could tell. They were guilty. The way they watched each other’s backs and that look they gave each other, they knew they were guilty. Even as they sat before me I could practically smell the guilt on them! And it smelled like...raspberry pancakes…’

“If you’re done Pinkie?” Twilight sighed at the pink mare who was dressed as a detective and sporting a comically large magnifying glass in hand and was currently focused on sniffing Spike’s shirt.

Pinkie giggled and nuzzled into Spike dropping the item in her hand. “But he’s soooo snuggly! He reminds me of breakfast in bed.” At that she looked up at him a different kind of hunger in her eyes and all the dragon could do was blush.

Spike and Applejack sat across from the other girls who were busy making small talk and enjoying Spike’s increasing blush from Pinkie crawling slowly up his body.

However, a sharp clap made Pinkie back off as she turned to a slightly irked Twilight Sparkle. “Thank you, Pinkie. So? What do you have to say for yourselves?”

Applejack and Spike looked at each other, they’d been given the freedom to at least get into fresh clothes and hadn’t left each other’s side much since they got back.

“...dinner was nice.” Applejack mumbled and put her arm around Spike.

Spike’s tail slowly flopped as he rubbed his chin. “It was nice getting to sing with you again. Too bad that near flash flood happened.”

“Yeah, I was actually enjoyin’ myself before then. Course, what happened after…” She shivered a bit with a large grin on her face. “Pure heaven.”

“You got that right.” Spike smiled and Applejack jumped, her face flushed a deep red.

Twilight and the girls stared at Spike with the widest of eyes.

“S-Sugarpie! Stop!”

Rainbow’s jaw dropped. “Sugarpie?”

“You didn’t stop me when you were on the phone Jackie.” Spike moved his hand from between their hips and slowly cupped her cheek. “You’re so cute when you purr.”

Starlight and Twilight looked at each other. “Purr?”

Applejack at this point was about as red as her cutie mark and put her hat over her face and whined behind it. “Stop! I can’ take no more!”

Spike chuckled and tried to stop from bursting out into laughter. He slowly patted her arm and smiled. “I’m sorry Jackie, I’ll quit it if it bothers you that much.”

The stetson slowly lowered and the girls saw the eyes of a shy mare instead of the powerhouse farmmare they were used to. “J-just don’t do it so often. Ya know I like when you tease me.”

At this point, Twilight was so lost she’d forgotten to be upset at them. At least for a little bit. “S-Spike! Applejack! Focus! Why did you...ya know…”

Applejack made a face while putting her stetson back on. “All I did was try and catch up ta Sunny Side Up.” Said unicorn was trying to make herself not stand out only to get glared at.

“In my defense...did you really expect me NOT to fuck him? I mean seriously, have you had one of his massages!?” Sunset stood and flung a hand towards Spike, getting a blush from him and the other girls. “See? Besides its not like he isn’t gonna push us all down one at a time and fuck us until were-”

“Another word Sunny and these hands stay to themselves.” He was giving her a flat look.

“Oh, come on you know I-” She looked at him and her eyes drooped. “You’re serious…”

“Very.” The next moment Sunset had placed herself behind the couch and was hugging him while whimpering apologies.

“That’s kinda hot.” Rainbow piped up and Twilight glared at her. “It is though.”

Spike laughed while getting pecked on the cheek by Sunset and watching Applejack stand to get herself something to drink. “Sorry girls, I did plan to try and keep it in but…” He fiddled with his hands. “It’s nice, being confident in what I’m doing.”

Fluttershy looked at him and slowly made her way over. “But you’re always so confident…”

“I do a good job acting like it, huh? Ask Sunny, Shimmy, Twi, even Rarity knows. I...I’m not the most confident dragon in the world…but being here with you girls made me want to be. I want to show some kind of result for all of this, besides you all deserve someone who’s not down on themselves all the time.” Spike grinned and received loving smiles from all around.

“Just don’t get too confident. It’s only cute when you do it with us.” Sunset jumped over the couch and dropped next to him, wrapping her arms around him. “I can overlook another mare or two, but one night stands are out unless screened through all of us.”

Twilight shook her head. “I wish I could say I agree, but I don’t feel comfortable doing so with the way you said that. Honestly though, as long as you talk to us we’ll figure something out Spike.”

He smiled and for a moment he felt something, something deep, deep down inside him talking. He thought about focusing on it until Starlight snatched the other seat next to him and smothered him together with Sunset.

“C-come on! Lemme go!”

“No way, it’s been so long since I got to snuggle you!” Starlight giggled and waved over Fluttershy who looked ready to jump into the pile.

As Spike was being assaulted but Starlight, Sunset, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, who seemed to be tugging at his clothes, Rainbow was laughing aloud but managed to notice Rarity. Leaving.

“Yo Rare? What’s up? It’s your day isn’t it?” With that, the roughhousing stopped as they all turned to the fashionista who hadn’t spoken a word since they’d met up.

She froze in place and seemed to bite her lip a bit before turning and giving them all a smile. “Oh, I’m sorry darlings. I was so wrapped up in thinking about what we'll be doing later tonight. Though there’s a bit of prep I must see to. Everything must be perfect for my Spikey.” She clapped her hands together with a wide smile. “You all enjoy yourselves and I’ll come by and snatch Spike when it's time.”

Sunset blinked and stood up. “But Rarity don’t you want to spend the whole day with him?”

“You said it yourself right? Though not the same context, we’ll have plenty of time together. Besides we’ve spent so much time together over the years. A few hours apart is fine.” Rarity waved her hand and started towards the doors.

“Rarity hold on!” Applejack called out rushing over to her. “The whole point is ta spend the day together. Ta...ya know, understand this.” She motioned to all of them. “Ta reconnect an’ ta have fun. What’s the point if ya ain’t together?”

“Applejack, I know everything about my- about Spike.” Rarity kept her back to them. “I wouldn’t dare ask any more of him than to join me tonight.” She opened the door and left the room in silence.

Pinkie blinked at the door as her hair deflated and slowly looked at Spike. She blinked at his expression and moved without saying a word.

“Wrong!”

A half-done suit hit the hotel room wall and slid into a pile along with another two unfinished outfits.

She started again, stitch by stitch, her rhythmic motions. She’d done this, quite literally, thousands of times before. It was her bread and butter but yet-

“It’s wrong again!!!”

A pair of pants was slammed to the floor and she started again, and again, and-

RIIIIPPPP

She tore a jacket open and tighten her grip on the torn fabric, her hair out of place and messy, a permanent look of fury on her face as she breathed hard. All she had to do was sew up a new suit for Spike, it wasn’t hard, she’d done it before. She knew what he liked, his favorite color, the type of gems he preferred to look at instead of snack on. She knew that polyester made his scales itch and he didn’t like to wear ties because of the way they squeeze against the scales he uses to vent his throat when he uses his fire breath. She knew he loved vests and preferred more casual suits to formal wear. Spike was partial towards colors besides white and other light colors because of his nature to be active and a little dirty here and there.

She knew all of this, but right at this moment...she couldn’t begin to design anything for him.

She was lost on the look he should have. The type of suit he should wear. She didn’t know if he’d like the color or fabric. She didn’t know. She knew Spike.

As she gripped the clothes and her nails tore through the fabric she started to feel light. So light that she was no longer on her hooves.

She blinked as she was held up, a pair of strong arms held her close. She wasn’t being carried, no it felt more like she was being lifted and set down.

As she was put down on the bed behind her, Rarity’s head slowly turned to the individual in her room. She was met by them, a sight she’d almost forgotten. She always loved this sight, the way they shone and sparkled at her and her alone. Those wondrous emeralds, always so clear and bright, they felt so far away recently, but now they were so close. She reached out a hand towards them, just one more moment with them was all she needed. Just one more-

“I knew you weren’t okay.”

A voice pulled her out of her world and she now faced the owner of her favorite jewels. The way he was looking at her...there was a lecture coming. “H-hello Spikey...m-may I ask-”

“Twilight gave me a spare key. They all went out, it’s just you and me.” Spike raised his hand and took her's slowly. It was only now that Rarity realized that her hand was on his cheek. “Why did you say that?”

“W-well they looked like they missed you and I wanted to give them a chance to be with you! Is that so wrong!?” She took her hand back and sat up properly.

Spike took a seat next to her. “I was supposed to be with you today.”

She huffed and began to fix her mane and tail quickly, putting them back as they should be. “Spikey, for the last few years I’ve taken much and more of your time, your life and your attention. I can go one day without being with you.”

His tail flopped behind him. “But is that what you want?”

“I don’t know what I want anymore!” She screamed at him and covered her mouth moving away from him. “I-I’m s-so sorry Spike...I-I just…”

He looked genuinely shocked when she screamed at him. He rarely saw her angry after all.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry Spikey! P-please d-don’t…” She retreated further and further. “Please don’t hate me...”

There was silence, a painful dry silence. She didn’t dare look at him again.

“Why?”

She flinched as if the words attacked her and looked at him. Spike was looking down, staring at his claws. “Did I do something wrong again?”

“No!” Rarity covered her mouth again, unable to reign in her volume as her body shook. “It’s not your fault. Please just-”

“I’m not leaving.”

She looked at him again and watched the glimmer in his eyes fade slightly. It was moving away again.

“...do you...recall the day you lost control?”

Spike looked at her and let out a sigh. “Which one?”

“The important one.” Rarity made little shaking motions towards him. “The most important one to me, to us.”

He could hardly feel his arms buried under the rubble. But he didn’t care.

He was sure he was bleeding. But that didn’t matter.

Something was broken, a rib likely. Who cared dammit!?

His eyes were locked on the mare beneath him, bleeding and unconscious. If he had been slower, even by a second, her alabaster coat would be covered in more of her own-

Stop! Don’t think about that! You need to stand up!

But he couldn’t, it took all he had to keep the collapsed ruins from crushing them. If he moved she would-

If you want to save her you have to stand!

He could hear the sounds of fighting outside, the rampaging monster was just another one of many. But it’d started destroying the buildings around it while trying to rescue a filly trapped in a crumbling house she-

Are you going to wait to be saved again?

His arms started to feel heavy.

Are you going to wait until its too late?

As long as she was okay, it was fine.

“Q-quite the predicament, wo-wouldn’t you say Spikey?”

His eyes opened to the sight of the rare below him giving him a weak smile.

“Imagine what they would say if they saw us.”

He couldn’t speak, it took every ounce of strength to hold the rubble.

“Honestly though, always such a gentledrake. You’ll give a mare the wrong idea you know.”

She attempted to laugh but let out a small bite of pain.

“I’m sorry Spikey…”

Don’t say that.

“If it weren’t for me...you wouldn’t be so hurt…”

Please don’t.

“I’m...so...sorry…” Tears began to form in her eyes.

Rarity…

“Not you...I don’t care if it’s me...just don’t let it be you.”

I’d do this a thousand times.

“I don’t want to watch you do this to yourself for me!”

She was crying.

Her voice began to fall into coughing and pleading.

All you have to do is stand up.

He had to stand.

All you have to do is refuse to give up.

He was going to stand.

We can do it together.

He stood up.

The creature that rose resembled him, but it was something else. It wasn’t greed. It wasn’t rage. It was going to protect her.

He lifted her and saw it in her eyes.

He was in her eyes.

He fought and they won.

The rest blurred until he woke up days later.

Rarity, despite a broken arm, refused to leave his side for a single moment.

He’d never seen her so happy. He’d never watched her cry so hard.

He wrapped himself around her and smiled.

We did it.

Spike rubbed his side, a discolored collection of scales had reformed there. If you gave them a passing glance you’d miss them.

“That day...I knew, from the bottom of my heart that I loved you.” Rarity put her hands in her lap and looked to him. He was looking at her now as well.

“But you didn’t tell me.”

“How could I? For so long, you tried for my affection and all I could do was...treat you like a child...hoping you’d finally move on. That you would find a mare or even a dragoness, that deserved you.” Her hands came up to her chest and she smiled. “But I fed into it eventually. Watching you eagerly run to my side...it made my heart flutter. And then you grew, and how you grew. The perfect gentledrake, when you wanted to be. Kind, brave, selfless, honest, what more could...a mare ask for?”

“And then Amora…”

Rarity made a face at the name. “She was a dear...at least I thought so...but I missed my chance...so I gave up. I was happy where I was. I could finally let you go.”

Silence.

“But I couldn’t.”

He stayed quiet but his eyes never left her form.

“I tried so hard to stop caring so deeply for you, but I’d catch myself. I would call your name and realize you weren’t there. I would wait for you at times, Sweetie would see me and ask me what I was doing and I couldn’t tell her. So many times all of the moments we spent together played before me and each time it made me realize how much I missed you…” She began to shake as tears teased her eyes. “I know, somewhere deep in my heart...I was happy the two of you had separated. It's an ugly thought, I hate myself for even entertaining it for a sliver of a moment. I thought that perhaps...coming here would help you...help me.” She turned to him and watched the light in his eyes returning. “And then you didn’t get better...and Trixie started making sense. Trixie of all ponies made us realize what we should have been doing...but then I began to think.”

The bed creaked slightly as Spike moved closer to her.

“I started thinking, that I don’t deserve to be here.”

“Rar-”

“No Spike! Just...just listen, please. I thought that after the way I had bathed in your affection, after all the kindness, all the love that you had given me that I had not returned, that after leading you on for so long...that I didn’t belong here.” Rarity wiped away tiny tears and looked at Spike. “I don’t deserve to be here with how I’ve treated you…”

She was looking at him now, prepared to be berated, to be told to leave, anything.

But he didn’t say anything.

He just continued to look at her, his eyes shimmering as she remembered.

Her hands twitched as he sat there staring at her, deep into her eyes. He was going to say something, wasn’t he?

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Silence.

“You will open your mouth already!?” Rarity stood up and raised her voice at him.

He turned his head with her as she rose and looked at her.

“What is it!? Are you wondering how such a high-class mare can possibly be so shallow and full of herself or something? Don’t you think I want to be here with you!? Do you think I don't want to be happy with you? That I wouldn’t give up all the sponsorships and collaborations in the world to make you happy!? I love you! But look at me!” Rarity nearly slammed her hand into her head as she stomped her hoof down hard fling her hands out. “What do you see!?”

“Rarity.”

“WHAT!?”

“I see Rarity.”

“H-huh?”

“I see the same mare I fell in love with when I came to Ponyville. I see the mare that put up with a love-struck child when she could have brushed him off with a laugh. I see the one pony who valued gems more than I did. I see a beautiful mare that’s risked her life for her friends on more than one case. I see you, Rarity.” Spike smiled at her. She couldn’t look away from him. The fire. The burning blaze in his eyes.

“Who are you…” Rarity collapsed and Spike quickly caught her.

“Rarity!?”

“Where is he? Where is my Spikey?” Her words began to become whimpers as she began to cry.

He slowly stood bringing her back up with him and she pushed her face into his shoulder.

“Where is he!? Where is my muse!? Where did my shining gem go!? Why did you change!? Why can’t I become better with you!? Don’t leave me Spikey! Please!” She clung to him. He was going to disappear if she didn’t. Her little Spikey was gone and the last fragments of him were slowly being pulled away from her. “You’re supposed to be with me! I don’t care if I’m in your shadow dragging myself along! I just want to be with you Spikey!”

He held her for a while and slowly pulled her off him. The look of fear on her face as he pulled away made him flinch. “...Rarity…”

Tears poured down her face, her makeup was ruined and messy. She looked as if she was going to scream at any moment.

“Why would I leave you behind?”

“Because-!”

“No!!!” He roared at her and she flinched in his clutches. “You are going to listen to me right this moment. I don’t know where the fuck you got this idea in your head that I was going to leave you. That somehow with all of this, as I struggle to grow into the dragon I want to be that I would leave you. But right now, you are going to listen to me, Rarity Belle!!!” His eyes began to slowly glow.

“Y-yes!”

Of all the things that could have happened to her, feeling his heavenly, in her opinion, warm but smooth lips on hers, was the very last on her list. Her eyes shot open wide, for a moment she was confused, only for a moment though. As he continued to kiss her Rarity slowly began to drop, melting and getting lost in their embrace. The cold room warmed around them as Spike held her close. Her arms slowly managed to come around him and she held onto him, slowly rising to stand on her own. Their lips slowly parted and Rarity’s eyes slowly fluttered open and she looked into Spike’s eyes. “Oh, Spike…”

“I also see an idiot.”

Now she was pouting.

“How uncouth!” She stepped away from him and crossed her arms. “I take back all the things I said about you.”

Spike wrapped his arms around her and she blushed while continuing pouting. “I love you too Rarity.”

There was a moment of silence between them until Rarity’s hands came up to Spike’s arms and she slowly moved his arms. She turned to him and looked slightly off to the side. “Even after all of that?”

“Even after all I that. I still loved you after the book incident after all.”

“That was a particularly low moment I admit.” She pursed her lips a little. “I’m sorry…”

“...you know that I’m going to grow up, right?”

“...yes, I am very aware of that.”

“I’m going to learn more about myself and grow into someone I can be proud of.”

“And I can’t wait to see the dragon you become.”

“I want to be with all of you. I can’t see myself without the mares that made me into who I am.” He reached out and took her hands.

Her face flushed. “...this is so new...watching you be so sure...so…”

“Confident?”

“It's silly, I know. But I ponder on what that confidence will lead to. I can see you, standing proud beside the very princesses without a shred of doubt about you. And...that kind of scares me...it felt like you were moving out of reach. Like no matter what I did, I wouldn't be able to reach out to you. You’re becoming such a remarkable dragon.”

“...you know...it's only because of you girls right?”

There was a pause and she began to giggle. “We did groom you into quite the well-rounded gentledrake. But what could you possibly have picked up from me I wonder?”

“Being generous and selfless. Willing to give my all for another, even if I get nothing in return.” Spike gave her a bright and toothy smile.

Rarity swooned just a little, maybe a lot, she would never admit it. “I could get used to this.”

“I could help you try and get used to it. If you’d like that is?”

“Spikey I adore you, but I don’t see how-”

Before she could finish Spike pulled her close, looking deep into her eyes. His eyes gave off a slightly dangerous glow and his tail slowly snaked around her. Rarity felt small before him even though he was a tad shorter than her. She watched his eyes focus on her like a predator staring at its prey, his tongue came out as he gave a small lick to his lips. She could hear a soft rumble and made it out without needing another hint, the soft bestial rumble coming out of his throat sent a chill down her spine. Her legs stopped working underneath her, she was in danger...and by the gods, it was turning her on!

“How about that?” His eyes turned back to normal and he helped her sit down.

Her breathing was heavy and slightly labored. “That...I could also get used to that as well...or not...surprise me with that please.”

Spike planted a soft kiss on her neck, he listened to her hum happily for a moment before standing up. “So? What do you see?”

She looked up and fixed her hair yet again. “I see Spike the Dragon. The dragon I love, the dragon we all love. I’m...sorry it took me so long to see that. I’ve been unfair to you.”

“A tad, but I think it's fine. This all happened a bit fast...I’ve been a little scared that maybe this might all be a dream myself honestly.” He looked around her room and crossed his arms. “We should tidy up before we get to work.”

Rarity nodded but blinked and looked at her. “We?”

“Yes, we. It has been a long time since I helped you work on anything after all. Besides you need your muse right?” He grinned at her and she pouted again.

“A gentledrake like yourself should not be shoving a lady’s words into her face.” The pout didn’t last long as a smile built on her face. “I would love your help Spikey.”

Spike nodded and leaned down, planting another kiss on her lips, receiving a kiss in return.

“Are you sure you want to-”

“Just get rid of it, please! I can’t stand to look at it!” Rarity shivered at the article of ‘clothing’ being held before her. A mismatched suit made of different colors and fabrics. They had managed to clean up the room in a short amount of time while enjoying a bit of reminiscing.

“Just feels a shame, I could see Discord wearing this to a function. A dinner or a dance, perhaps even a luncheon if he ever got invited to them again after the ‘crackers’ incident.” He gave it a look over and folded it up.

“They weren’t wrong though, scones are scones.” Rarity smiled at her clean room and then turned to her own set of dresses. “I was so concerned about what to make for you I’d forgotten to pick out a dress for myself…”

Spike turned and scanned the several dresses. “Did you plan on doing something once we got out here?”

“Oddly enough yes. You see there is something of a gathering of the high society happening tonight. It’ll take place on a cruise ship, it’ll be quite the function. I originally planned to go and see if I could meet any prospective clients, but when we all started talking about dates and such, I thought it would be the best place to go together. A moonlit night spent out at sea? It sounded heavenly.” She started taking out dress after dress, taking out a particularly low cut one and giving Spike a teasing look. “Maybe another time.”

The large smile on his face made her giggle as she put it back. “So you decided to let yourself go last?”

She nodded at him. “When I heard about the restaurant I may have let myself slip a tad, but Applejack and the girls knew I wanted to go last no matter what.”

“Well, I’m glad nothing happened throughout the week. Do you know who’ll be attending?” Spike stood beside her giving his two cents now and then to help her decide.

“Quite a few noteworthy names. It seems to be more of a social gathering of actors, actresses, singers and the like. Famed names from around the country.” She took out a white dress and began to think about the current date.

“Then we’d better make sure we pick the right dress.” He reached into her room’s closet and smiled wide as he pulled out a dress. “A lady must always look her best, but why don’t we try and go for the kill?”

Rarity turned and blinked at the dress, a smile building on her face. “What I do without you?”

“Be the center of attention at the party.” He smiled and planted a kiss on her cheek. “But you deserve to shine as bright as the sun.”

A light color of rose appeared on her cheek as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Flattery does not get some ponies anything, but it will get you everything Spikey.”

He fought a building desire to take her up on her offer. “Maybe later, we’ve got work to do.”

“Indeed, darling.” Rarity cooed and planted a soft kiss on his lips. Something about the way she said it was different from usual, the nice kind of different.

They put together her clothes for the evening and she began to work on Spike’s suit. With both of them quite focused on it they didn’t notice the passing of time. They had long since finished his clothes and now they were simply making idle chatter. It had been even longer before either of them realized since they’d just been sitting together. Before it was always a careful dance of emotion to keep from hurting anypony and then trying to keep a more than healthy distance. But all of those thoughts, all the fears seemed to have just vanished.

The one to notice the time was Rarity as she looked at her phone for a moment and quickly stood up. “Oh dear, I was so engrossed I didn’t notice how much time had passed.”

“We’re not gonna be late right?” Spike was a bit worried and wondered if he should just get dressed now.

“For being fashionably early yes we are!” She sighed and began to lightly tap her cheek. “If we hurry now, dine a bit and go immediately we’ll make it on time. But I was so hoping to show up before anypony else.” She let out a breath and turned to Spike.

Said dragon’s head was slightly tilted and he was giving her a jokingly exasperated look. “Leave it to you I guess.” He moved and opened the door for her. “Shall we, my dear?”

Rarity giggled and moved to his side. “Thank you, beloved.” She slowly placed a hand on his shoulder and draped it under his chin as she walked passed him and down the hall, an obvious sway in her steps.

Spike’s face was a deeper shade of purple but he had a goofy grin on his face. “Woof.” He closed her door and quickly chased after her.

As Celestia’s sun dipped in the distance the docks of the resort slowly began to fill with ponies, griffins and a few changelings, each one a famous name in Equestria for one thing or another. All in attendance were dressed to impress. There were a few standouts, models and a few that seemed to want to stand out by looking ridiculous. There was small talk done all around as they waited for their chance to board the large cruise ship.

The chatter began to die out as what seemed like a couple made their way passed them. The pair, a dragon, and a unicorn mare walked in perfect sync. The mare had her arm around the dragon’s and they seemed to be having a small conversation, not realizing they had become the center of attention.

The mare many had come to realize was Equestria’s rising fashionista, Rarity, was elegant and beautiful. Her mane and tail perfectly groomed as it shined with what light remained of the day. The many males, a few females as well, noticed her outfit with no small amount of awe. A beautiful midnight purple dress, in place of straps the dress was held up by a pair of sleeves that left her shoulders bare, the cut of the dress teasing a very slight amount of cleavage. Her arms were covered by similarly colored evening gloves that reach past her elbows. Around her neck, a purple choker and lightly dangling from it a beautifully cut diamond in the shape many knew as her cutie mark. However, for the few that didn’t know they wouldn’t have to guess since it also happened to be embroiled on the very high purple garters she was wearing that showed through the slit of her dress. Her hooves were adorned with even darker purple hoofwear. She appeared to be the very image of a midnight beauty.

Of course, the dragon accompanying her also drew quite the figure himself. Though he was slightly shorter than his, presumed with how often she pushed herself into him, date, he was not lacking in charm. His movements were small and he made sure to keep at a slow pace so he didn’t overstep the mare beside him. He sported a confident but kind smile, more than a few in the crowd wished they’d be able to replace Rarity for just a moment. The dark emerald green dress shirt that clung to his body caught quite a few eyes as well. Buttoned tight and holding a coal-black tie to his body was an equally as dark purple vest, the vest had small shimmering diamonds in a similar configuration to the design Rarity’s garters. Comfortably loose black dress pants hugged his hips and a few eyes needed to remind themselves not to stare.

The pair made their way to the ramp leading up to the cruise ship and after waiting for a moment, made their way up leaving a slightly awestruck crowd behind them.

Spike for his part did notice all the attention rather quickly and now that they were on the ship he gave a slight smirk in Rarity’s direction. “Didn't I tell you? You didn’t need to be dressed head to hoof in jewelry to be the center of attention.”

“Perhaps I’ll take your opinions into practice more often.” She planted a soft kiss on his cheek as they walked further on the ship.

After a few minutes, Spike began to scan around from something, catching Rarity’s attention when he stopped and turned around for a moment. “Spike? If you’re looking for the buffet it should be inside-”

“Huh? Oh no, I’m still okay, I’m looking for somepony.” He put his arm around her waist, his hand resting on her hip.

Rarity slowly stepped closer into his form while resting a hand on his chest. “Oh? And I was so sure I’d be the only pony receiving your attention tonight. I’m almost jealous.”

Spike laughed a bit. “You have my undivided attention, but I’m sure you’d like to see them too.”

“Oh? Who exactly-”

As she was speaking a pair of hands covered Spike’s eyes. Staring aghast she turned her head, her eyes building fury until she laid them on the owner of the offending appendages.

“Salut! Can you tell who this is?”

“Yes, because you’re the only pony I know that mixed ponish and prench.” Spike chuckled as the hands were removed. He turned, putting his free arm around Rarity as he let go of her. “Salut, Fleur!”

Standing there with a wide smile was the beacon of the supermodel circuit Fleur De Lis. She had on a dress that went from the base of her neck to the tips of her fingers, ending just under her knees. She was as tall and beautiful as Rarity remembered. “Oh Spike, it is so good to see you! Comment allez-vous?”

“Je vais bien.” Spike smiled and looked to Rarity who seems a tad star struck. “Rarity you remember Fleur right? She did make it to my seventeenth birthday.”

She realized she hadn’t said anything until now. “Y-yes!” She cleared her throat. “It is a pleasure to see you again Miss De Lis.”

“Oh, there is no need for that! Les amies of Spike is une amie.” Fleur leaned forward and planted a kiss on both of her cheeks and moved on to Spike doing the same.

Rarity, beside the blush on her cheeks, was confused. “I-I’m sorry, my...more common prench is....”

“She’s saying that my friends are her friends. She’s a sweet girl, just a tad...excitable once you get to know her.” Spike grinned at Fleur who crossed her arms and pouted lightly. “Je suis desolé.”

“You are quite lucky you are my favorite dragon.” She smiled and looked at Rarity and leaned in a bit. “Est-ce l'un de ceux que vous aimez?”

“Oui, ma chérie.” Spike smiled and held Rarity closer to him, earning a deep blush from her.

Rarity looked between the two of them confused. “Um, forgive me again, but what did she say?”

Spike grinned and kissed her softly, in return she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. “Nothing important.”

Rarity’s eyes fluttered and she giggled. “Very well, any more of that however and I may forget to stand.”

“I am quite sure you would enjoy that, no?” Fleur let out a soft giggle as Rarity and Spike both flushed a deep red.

“Fleur, darling please let the boy have the chance to breathe at least.” The fins on the side of Spike’s head twitched as he looked past Fleur and saw the suave Fancy Pants slowly move up to them, adorned in his usual three-piece black suit.

“Good to see you too Fancy.” Spike raised a hand and the stallion brought his own up, giving the dragon’s claw a light shake. “Thanks for the reservation, by the way.”

“Think nothing of it, my friend. It is a pale comparison of what we should have done for you during your time of hardship.” Fancy gave a sad smile as Fleur leaned into him and nodded.

“You kept me in your hearts, that's what matters most to me.” He smiled and looked to Rarity. “You know Ms. Belle, I’m sure?”

“Who wouldn’t? A rising star and the Element of Generosity. I must say Spike, your ‘hoard’ has quite the number of national treasures.” Rarity watched Fancy’s face form into a huge smirk and Spike playfully glared at him.

“You got that right, and they’re mine.” He held Rarity as close to him as he could and the mare in his grasp let out a small squeak and swooned at the protective attention.

Fancy laughed and patted Spike on the shoulder. “Hahaha, good man! I’d love to stay but we should make our presence known, it’s been some time since I’ve seen a few of these ponies.”

“We will stop by your hotel the first chance we get, I would very much like to meet the rest of your hoard.” Fleur giggled at the word and began to move away with Fancy. “À bientôt!”

“It means ‘See you soon’ Rare,” Spike said before she could ask and the two waved at them.

“À bientôt!” The two said together and watched them disappear into the crowd...at least for a moment before Fleur came rushing back and came up to their ears.

“There is a high section on the ship where you can go. No pony goes up there and I’ve asked they leave you alone up there. With the waves and the party, nopony will hear you.”

Without being able to respond to her Fleur was dragged off by Fancy, they watched her wave happily at them as they stood there both blushing.

Spike took Rarity’s hand slowly. “S-shall we get a bite to eat?”

“C-certainly!” Rarity fidgeted a little. “Later…”

“...later.”

The two made their way into the crowd, making small talk with a few ponies that recognized Rarity. With every actress, actor, fashion designer, model and reputable pony they spoke to it became quite clear to Rarity that although Spike had a reputation, he was still an unknown. A few knew him from his exploits in the Crystal Empire, the few changelings and crystal ponies there had made their presence known, but besides them, nopony knew of him. It wasn’t too much of an issue at first, he was charismatic and had a refreshing level of informality, he’d greet them properly and after a bit of talking he could get them laughing and genuinely smiling. She was so happy to see other ponies appreciate him as much as she did, a few began to step over the line but if Rarity was good at anything it was letting other ladies and gentlecolts know that Spike was her’s.

Everything was going fine. They were having fun, chatting the night away and sating their stomachs, the night was beautiful and they were happy.

“Can you believe the nerve?”

“You’d think their kind would know their place.”

Over the crowd, she could hear them. Her keen ear for gossip caught it amongst the voices.

“It’s barbaric the way he seems content to show off those vicious teeth of his at every moment.”

“Well, he is a beast after all. It’s in their nature.”

“Perhaps he should be on a leash, it’s only safe after all.”

“I thought so too! How could anypony allow such a filthy creature roam free?”

She had to ignore them, she was talking to another pony who was sharing a story with Spike about their wife. Even though she was sure he could hear them he was smiling and giving her ideas on gifts. She had to be happy next to him or it would ruin the night.

“You don’t suppose he belongs to her do you?” There was a snap in her head.

“You can never tell with someponies.”

“Who have thought she was into bestiality?”

She felt Spike tense at that. It hurt him, she knew it did.

The same four voices started laughing, it was the only thing she could hear. It was obvious the ponies around them were uncomfortable but they just kept laughing.

They were laughing at her Spike.

And far be it from a lady to stand by and simply listen to somepony badmouth her beloved.

“Why yes darling, you never know with someponies!” Rarity giggled as she stood before the four.

They all looked at her, each moving a little from her. “R-Rarity, it’s so pleasant to-”

“I will say now, I don’t much care to listen to your nauseating voices for much longer.” She glared at the recoiling ponies. “Many times in my life I’ve stood by and been silent when others think it fair to speak behind the backs of good ponies. Stepping forward to confront them is unsightly, makes everypony uncomfortable and furthermore it doesn’t usually end well.” She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, backing them into a corner made of the railing on the ship. “But I’ll make an exception.”

They moved their lips but Rarity’s horn lit up and slammed their mouth’s shut.

“You foul-mouthed, elephantine lipped, saggy faced, fish-eyed, gold-digging, loose, repugnant and overall poor excuses for mares have no right to speak that way about my dear beloved Spike!” The eyes of all the ponies around them couldn’t get any bigger if they tried. “He is more male than any limp-dicked stallion that graces you with their presence because you shoved your fuming snatches at them and promised them favors and a spot in the limelight. I genuinely feel for those poor men who have had the unfortunate circumstance of being forced to penetrate your dry, dead valleys!” She stepped into their breathing space and their eyes shrunk in fear. “If I hear one more remark from any of you about my beloved I will make it my mission to ensure that even rats in the sewers of Manehattan have more of a social life then all of you combined.” Her magic faded away and they shook under her menacing glare. “Do I make myself clear?”

They nodded and Rarity smiled. “I’m ever so glad we could come to an understanding.” She turned and walked back to the completely stunned Spike and wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a peck on his lips. “I’m sorry for that dear, let’s continue to enjoy our date.”

Spike was about he give a response when he looked behind her, stepped forward and caught a glass that had been flung at Rarity. She covered her face a bit and looked at Spike who was dripping slightly from the wine that had stained his clothes. The mare that had thrown it was backing away in fear as they stared into his angry, glowing eyes.

"Ladies...there are many lines you can cross." His eyes glowed brighter and they sharpened at the four. "Harming a dragon's mate is NOT one of them."

The four ponies were escorted below deck and Rarity was fretting over getting Spike clean. While getting patted on the back by a few ponies in the crowd Spike handed the empty glass off and looked at Rarity. She looked at him and the two of them chuckled lightly before stepping into the crowd.

Spike took a sniff of his dress shirt and smiled. “At least the smell of wine is gone.” He’d lost his vest for the moment and had left it hanging nearby.

Rarity took a moment to look him over once more. “I am simply happy you didn’t get hurt at all.”

“By what? The glass? I eat harder gems.”

“True, but I will still worry.” She smiled and wrapped her arms around his own, slowly leaning against him. The two of them were at the spot Fleur told them about, they were up high and could look down at all the ponies below. “She was right about one thing, I can’t hear anypony from up here.”

“I can’t even hear the music from up here.” Spike smiled and leaned on the sturdy railing.

Rarity stood up straight and slowly removed her gloves, wanting to better enjoy the evening wind. She placed them on a table beside them that had been placed there before they made it to their exclusive spot. She let the wind chill her arms a bit when she saw Spike take a deep breath. “Spike?”

He held onto the rail and leaned over them shouting. “This is the best vacation EVER!!!”

Rarity had to cover her ears a bit as he shouted out and gave him a look when he was done and looking below them. “As much as I understand, why did you shout?”

“Just testing if anypony noticed.” He looked at her and gave a sorry look. “My bad.”

“A little warning beforehand would have been nice.” She smiled and looked out at the ocean before them. “...if somepony told me that I’d be here, with you, feeling the things I’m feeling now...I admit I wouldn’t have believed them.”

“I probably would have been over my head happy. I was a little...much.”

“You had your moments, but you’re not the little dragon that tailed behind me...you’ve become so confident and strong. I couldn’t be more proud of you Spikey.” Her tail slowly made its way over to his and Spike’s tail locked with hers a bit.

“I’m only here because of you girls. I owe you all everything.” Spike slowly puts his arm around her and held her close.

Rarity leaned into him and hummed softly, planting a kiss on his cheek. “I won’t reject any gratitude you deem appropriate to pay me.” Her eyes fluttered as she looked into his shimmering emeralds.

“Are you sure? I am pretty confident now, we’re up here alone. Nopony can hear or see us.” He slowly moved and put a hand on her hip with his other on the rail, pinned her in place.

Her muzzle turned a bright red as she felt his strong but comfortable hold on her, she looked away for a moment. “W-well m-ma-maybe not now. P-perhaps at another time-” She froze when she heard something low, something that sent a quaking shiver up her spine. He was growling, a low growl, barely hidden in his throat.

“You know...I think you want me to do it here.” Spike smirked at her and her eyes grew in shock as the heat began to build in her chest.

“W-w-w-what?” Her breathing was rough and labored, her hands held onto the railings as though she would fall, however, Spike’s hold on her kept her in place.

He bared his teeth and growled again, his eyes sharpening and beginning to glow slightly. The feeling from earlier in the day came back with a vengeance. There was no escape from him, he could do anything he wanted to her and all she could do was cower under him. The very thought of being pushed down and made to take him as he ravaged her, it was enough to-

“Woah!” Spike caught Rarity as her legs began to give out and held her up, the fierce look in his eyes gone. “Are you okay!?” She looked at him, into his kind, concerned eyes. She was now wrapped up in both his arms, held up so she could get back on her hooves.

“Perfect.” She put both of her hands on his cheeks and slowly kissed him. Spike made a blinked a bit before holding her carefully and returning the kiss. They held the kiss, both of them trying to clear any remaining space between them. Rarity pulled her head back and looked at Spike, her face flushed a deep red. “S-Spike?”

“Yes, Rarity?” His voice came out quickly, at this moment, she was the most important pony in the world.

Her face flushed even further at his quick response and she turned her head away a little. “I...I might...want you to…” The heat in her chest made her confidence fade away, but Spike picked up on what she was going to say.

But he wanted to make her say it.

“Might want me to what? I need to you be clear Rare or I won’t know for sure.” His hand moved from its spot on her back and found its way to her rear. He began to slowly rub her behind through the dress, making her flinch and shake in his grasp.

“Ah~! S-Spike…” She bit her lip and looked at him. “I-I w-want...you to take me…”

“But you’re already mine.” He took a tight grip on her ass. “What do you want me to do?”

Her voice hitched in her throat and now she was on the verge of falling again, that is if Spike’s tail hadn’t wrapped around her. He was holding her in place now and all she could do was look away while her body shook from a combined pleasure and a feeling of being trapped. “U-use me…”

He moved his hand and for a moment Rarity wanted to whine, but with a loud smack, his hand came back to her ass, spanking her hard. Rarity’s body shook as she let out a withheld moan and her legs slowly began to part. “O-Oh gods…”

“One last chance.” Her eyes bugged out at him. “Tell me what you want me to do to you, or we stop here.” He stared at her with a neutral expression but his eyes were hungry, a low growl came out as he spoke and she could feel his claws digging into her. He wanted to take her, she could tell from the bulge in his pants but he meant it, he’d spot right here.

“I want you to pin me down!” Rarity shouted out in a panic. “Grope me and let me feel your wonderful claws all over my body! I want to feel you inside me, please Spikey don’t make me beg anymore or I’ll be ruined.” She clung to him, her breathing hard and legs shaking as they were as wide open as she could get them. “I want to be yours alone, forever my beloved.”

Spike leaped out and caught her expecting lips in a rough and near-violent kiss. Spike forced his tongue into her mouth and she accepted with muffled moans and whines. His tongue explored every part of her mouth, dancing with her's as Rarity allowed her lips to be used however he’d like.

Spike’s hands were also busy as Rarity felt one on the side of her dress. She squeaked into the rough and sexually charged kiss as her dress was moved out of the way. Spike pulled back and looked down between her legs and at the pair of black lace panties she had been made to wear. He smirked at the trails of wetness coming from her crotch and slowly moved his hand closer and closer to between her legs. Rarity watched in an aroused horror as Spike’s hand came to her panties, he barely touched her and she had to fight back to loud, throaty moan that was coming. Spike looked at her and put his hand on her cheek, slowly caressing her as he pushed her panties out of the way. Rarity shook and gasped at the slight chill that ran through her when her soaking pussy was uncovered and looked into Spike’s eyes in a drunken glance. He kissed her again, softly this time and as Rarity’s eyes began to close she felt a sudden heat, it rose until it exploded as she felt something enter her.

Spike had pushed in three fingers as he kissed her and immediately began to move them around. The unicorn’s eyes rolled back into her head as her body tensed from the rough orgasm that followed, her loud moans muffled by Spike’s kiss. He broke the kiss and licked his lips. “How does it feel?”

“I-it’s...a-amazing.” Rarity shook and tried to let her body adjust to the three invaders but found herself moaning as Spike began to pull them out and push them back in. Her mouth hung open as she moaned out loud, she held onto Spike and the railing behind her to support her as the sloppy, dirty sounds of her wet vagina being fingered filled the air around them and them alone. As Spike watched her face contort he kissed and licked her neck as she moaned and gasped. All of her moaning and the sound of his fingers roughly fingering her made him move his fingers faster, he pushed them in deeper, moving them around inside of her. Rarity was at his mercy as she couldn't hold back any of the sounds coming out of her, all the moans and gasps, every unladylike grunt and groan.

“Spike! Oh, fuck Spikey! It’s so good!!!” She yelled out and her legs parted further and further, she now had only one hoof to the ground as her other was up on the table beside them. Her voluptuous breasts bounced and moved with Spike’s movements, her nipples nearly piercing through the cloth of her dress. Spike’s eyes locked onto her breasts and he grinned as he reached his hand out and forcefully pulled her dress down, exposing her large white mounds. She gasped aloud and let out a muffled scream as Spike’s tongue wrapped around her breast as he clamped his mouth on her breast and carefully bit down on her nipple. As she was being licked and finger fucked Rarity could barely speak, much less think as the heat built and her hoof began to raise off the metal below them.

“I’m coming! Fuck me I’m coming!” Rarity yelled out and let go of the railing, falling into Spike and roughly kissing him as her body quaked. Spike responded by violently fingering her and driving her to an explosive orgasm. Her moaning scream was harshly muffled in Spike’s mouth as she kissed him, desperate for his lips. He kissed her back and sat her on the table for a moment, pulling his fingers out and just holding her as they made out.

After a moment the kiss was broken for their mutual need to breathe. Spike began to catch his breath and looked at his hand, he grinned and used his very long tongue to link his fingers clean, much to Rarity’s delight as she shook while watching him. “I hope it’s too your liking beloved.”

“You taste delightful Rarity.” He smiled and put his hands on her hips. He planted a soft kiss on her lips and quickly slid off her panties before she could make a noise. She looked down at the black panties in his hand and watched him smiled and set them aside. “But I’m not done.”

“I hoped not, but it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t repay you for your...exceptional service to me.” Her eyes fluttered and he smirked in return.

“If you’re looking for an excuse to get on your knees I won’t argue.” Her answer to that was to slowly slide off the table and with Spike’s help, and a cushion, she was on her knees before him, face to face with the bulge in his pants. She could feel the heat coming from him and it made her body shiver as she reached out and slowly undid his pants. As the form of his throbbing member fell out of his pants Rarity stared for a moment.

“Oh my…” She’d heard about them, had them explained in vivid detail even, but look at them was a different experience altogether.

“Thanks, I guess.” He laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. “To be honest I don’t know how I size up. Never been too interested in finding out if I’m on the small side.” He looked down at Rarity and watched her gaze up at him with a soft smile. “So..am I?”

“You might not be the longest...but you are certainly the...biggest…” She stared at his shafts and slowly put her hand to the bottom one, slowly caressing it. Spike shivered at her touch and grunted. “I can see the appeal...the shape and barbs all along your wonderful lengths.”

“You’re drooling Rarity.” Spike grinned down at her and hummed softly as her hand continued to move up and down his lower length.

She gave him a little pout before moving her attention to the top one, planting a soft kiss on the head, eliciting a grunt out of Spike. She gave him a teasing lick and wrapped her hand around him slowly beginning to stroke him as she licked him more and more. Spike gripped onto the railing and moaned as he watched her, he loved the look on her face. Her eyes were focused solely on him even as she licked up his length, her hand was soft and even with the slow stroking she was applying to his throbbing dick it felt amazing. She rolled her tongue around the head of his dick and began to stroke him faster and faster. Spike growled and groaned, his grip on the railing tightening. “R-really good at that.”

She winked at him and moves her hand from his shaft and moved her hair a bit. Her eyes didn’t move from looking up at him as she opened her mouth wide and slowly took him into her. Spike let out a growl and dug his claws into the metal of the ship but he kept his gaze on Rarity as she took more and more of him. Her mouth was warm and wet in the best way, but when she stopped without taking even half of him, Spike looked a little confused.

Rarity made a face and pulled back off of him and bit her lip. “Oh dear…”

“What’s wrong?” Spike went from driven by lust to concern so quickly that it almost made Rarity swoon. She could tell even when he acted rough with her that he was being very careful.

“Though I don’t wish to admit it...I am not sure I can take you, dear. N-not for a lack of trying! I’ve never been good at this…” Rarity blushed and looked away bashfully. “I’m so used to barely getting off if I’m honest.”

Spike laughed a bit for his part and smiled at her. “I’m not bothered, just that much felt good.”

“Spikey, you’re missing the point.” She gave him a bit of a glare. “I WANT to take it all, to the very base if I can.”

“That is excessively sexy.” Spike blurted out and made the unicorn laugh. He thought for a moment and let go of the railing and moved his hand from the wall beside him, he’d apologize for the scratches and crushed railing later. “I understand, give me a tap when you want to call it quits.” He put his hands on her head and she looked up at him.

“H-huh?”

“I’m going to throat fuck you.”

Rarity quaked at the words and her eyes almost rolled up in her head.

“Open wide if you could.” Spike positioned himself, raising her head a bit and watched her open her mouth without a word. “One tap is ‘stop’, two taps is ‘pull it out’. Okay?”

She nodded as her tongue hung out of her mouth awaiting him. He nodded in return and slowly pushed himself into her mouth. He grunted as he made it where she took him before and he waited for a moment, enjoying the feeling before grabbed her head with one hand. He took a breath and pushed himself into her mouth and slowly down her throat. Rarity’s eyes rolled up as tears began to form, but she just held onto Spike’s legs as he pushed more and more down her throat. He got more than half down when she tapped his leg once, he stopped and let out a breath, gritting his teeth and growling while fighting the urge to shove the rest down her throat.

Rarity had been moaning and shaking this whole time as she gripped onto him. She waited for the stretching feeling in her throat to ease away. It didn’t hurt too much, it felt good to have her throat stretched, which was a new feeling for her. She breathed slowly through her nose and she was catching more and more of Spike’s scent, if she didn’t go insane after tonight she’d count herself lucky.

After a moment, Spike felt Rarity licking him and he grunted loudly as her throat vibrated from her moaning. He looked at her and watched her nodded slightly. “Okay.” He took a proper hold on her head, paused and grabbed her hair, earning a shocked look from Rarity. He grits his teeth and with one hard thrust, shoved the last of his length down her throat, making her take all of him and, just as she wanted, her muzzle was pressed against his body. Rarity’s body violently shook as she gripped onto his legs, her body was on fire and every part of her begged for some kind of release.

A growl came out of Spike’s mouth as he pulled back, slowly sliding his dick out of her throat and let it rest in her mouth. He smirked down at her. “You seem to be able to take it now.” Rarity’s face turned a bright red as her eyes grew, but before she could make a sound Spike shoved his dick back down her throat. A loud muffled moan came out as his hot dick moved down her throat and slid back out over and over. With everything thrust into her mouth she felt her body burning with arousal, her vagina became more and more soaked as she took every inch of him over and over. The loud slurping and sound of Rarity’s desperate moaning drove Spike faster and harder. He began to roughly thrust into her mouth, forcing Rarity to repeatedly take every inch of him. Her eyes rolled back into her head as she lost herself, moaning and grunting as she did what little she could to suck on him.

After being so rough with her when Spike began to slow down Rarity almost complained until he forced himself back down her throat and with a roar through his gritted teeth he came down her throat. For the mare’s part, she let out her own muffled scream of pleasure as her throat nearly caught on fire. She swallowed as much as she could but her body was starting to act quite strange.

She needed Spike to rut her like an animal.

She pulled back hard, making Spike nearly stumble back. He grunted as he was still cumming and watched in stunned arousal as Rarity let his hot seed fall onto her face and breasts. He panted hard and moaned out as Rarity latched back onto his cock, lapping up all the drops she hadn’t caught, cleaning him up. She took a bit of time to clean herself up, able to at least use her magic to get rid of anything that remained.

Rarity sat there, her legs shaking and her chest moving up and down as she breathed, riding out the heavy arousal she felt. “I’ve never felt so horny in my whole life.”

“Sorry.” Spike laughed a bit and steadied himself on his feet. "Dragon sperm and all that."

“I figured it must have something to do with it.” She gave him a hungry glance and bit her lip. “Spikey...I need you.” She reached out her hands to him and he carefully helped her up and back onto the table. Spike planted a soft kiss on her neck and Rarity let out a loud moan, her body dangerously sensitive to his touch. “My beloved I need you! Please!”

Spike clamped down on her breast hard, getting a loud grunt of pleasure and he grabbed her other breast hard. He looked at her with an evil look in his eyes. She was going to ride out this heat until he was ready to give it to her. Rarity looked on in horror and made a futile attempt to reach out for him, hoping for any kind of penetration, what she got was his teeth on her breast. Her eyes shot open wide, she could feel the sharp points of his teeth press against her soft flesh. If he wanted to he could tear her apart and as his teeth carefully sunk into her, not enough to puncture but enough that if he wasn’t careful he would, she felt something vanish. The last of her bit of her that was fighting the rush she got when she was in this mock danger was gone. Rarity flung her head back as her legs spread open wide for him and violently shook as she came again.

Spike watched her breath and dragged his teeth against her skin, she jumped and let out something kind of sound, whatever it was, it was hot. Her head tilted up to look at him. Her smile was a little wild, to say the least, but Spike wanted more. He bit down. She came again.

He moved his mouth off of her and roughly groped her breast, she moaned out and shook as he squeezed her bountiful breast and looked at her free bouncing breast, the light bite marks on her did something to her brain. “Mmmph! Spike! More please more! I need you!!!”

Spike growled with a grin and lept out at her neck. Rarity froze and her eyes rolled so far into her head, she could see herself losing whatever was keeping her sane. Spike’s teeth dug into her, just short of tearing her skin and he growled as Rarity rode out another explosive orgasm. He pulled back and smiled at his handy work, the choker was done for and he’d marked Rarity’s neck, pink marks glowed through her white coat. “At least I know what to get you for your birthday.”

Rarity shook and tensed as her body rode out her last orgasm. She was ready for more teasing when Spike grabbed her by her waist and pulled her to him. She looked at him in shock once again and watch him smirk. “S-Spike?”

“I’m going to fuck you.”

There were times throughout their lives he swore he saw people with things like stars in their eyes. He knew there were hearts in hers as he said that.

“Please fuck me beloved.”

“I’m going to ravage you.”

“Yes! Please! Make me yours and yours alone Spike!”

He got close and she looked into his burning eyes. “I’m going to cum inside you.”

Her eyes went wild and for a moment sanity returned. “S-Spike! No! Y-you can’t! I want you to, so bad, but I need to-”

Her voice left her all at once as Spike’s dick jammed into her pussy harshly.

“A-Aaah!! Spike!” Rarity fell back as another orgasm threatened her mind. “No! You can't cum inside!”

Spike pulled back. “I’m going to fill you up.”

Her body shook at his words. By the GODS she wanted to be filled to the brim. “L-let me cast a contraceptive spell fir-”

He roughly thrust into the moment her horn began to light up. Her horn sputtered out and her mouth hung open as she let out a groan of pleasure. He began a slow but rough piston, moving out and thrusting back in hard. Rarity’s legs twitched and writhed as Spike moved in and out inside her, every barb sending her into another fit of orgasms. Her voice was crushed by moans and groans as she was slowly being driven to insanity. “S-Sp-Spike! Fuck! Please! J-just l-l-let me-” He thrust hard into her, jamming his dick as deep into her as he could. “OOOHH FUCK!!!!”

Her body tensed and shook as a heavy orgasm hit her. He stopped deep inside her, letting her catch her breath as her body went limp for a moment. “Spike...” She whined and looked at him, reaching out for him. Spike smiled and pulled her up to him and she wrapped her arms around him. “...I wouldn’t mind you know…”

Spike couldn’t help but look at her and blush. “I was only trying to tease you, I’m sorry if I went too far…”

“Oh no, by all means. I’d never imagined being driven insane with lust could be so pleasant.” Rarity gave him a tender smile and a soft kiss. Spike held her close and pushed into the kiss, letting their lust die down a bit through the passionate embrace. Through the many kisses that Spike gave her Rarity managed to speak a bit. “I’d have to put off my seasonal line.” Another kiss. “But I wouldn’t mind at all.” She kissed him while he was blushing. “But I get the feeling you’re not ready?”

“I’d like to think I’m adult enough to be ready.” He kissed her neck and listened to her moan. “But I shouldn’t get ahead of myself.” He got a kiss and returned it. “Besides I think Fluttershy would want to be in front of that particular line.”

“Agreed. I’ll just go second.” She gave him a peck on his nose when his face turned a deep purple.

After a moment Rarity’s horn glowed bright and she moved her arms. “I’m ready Spike. Give me everything you can.”

Spike nodded and kissed her again. “I love you Rarity.”

“I love you as well, my dear beloved.” Spike laid her back down and grabbed her legs, he was about to start moving when he paused and looked at her with a smirk.

“You did say everything.”

“Spike?”

Rarity squeaked when she felt something poking her rear. “Spike!?!?!?”

He gave her a playful look and grabbed her ass, spreading her cheek open wide. His sharp fingers dug into her skin. She moaned out loud and her legs spread open as his lower cock teased her back door. “I-I t-thought you said you’d-”

“I never promised not to go too far anymore.” He bucked his hips and pushed himself into her. It was a tight fit but if Rarity howling and moaning was anything to go by it wasn’t too much of a problem. He grit his teeth hard and pushed on, getting more and more of himself into her, the unicorn under him happily welcomed both intruders with moans and screaming Spike’s name over and over.

Once he was snuggly inside both of her holes Spike had to fight to keep from ravaging her right then and there. It was the feeling of being squeezed at the same time that was making it hard on him. While he was fighting to keep his urges in check Rarity was gasping and moaning, waiting for more. Her hands moved up and grabbed his shoulders, Spike’s looked up at her and she pushed herself up and put his face between her breasts. “Break me Spikey.”

He looked at her, growled and gripped her waist hard, pulled out and violently thrust into her, making Rarity throw her head back with a very loud. “YES!”

The next few minutes were filled with grunting and moaning, Spike was relentless in his motions, pounding away at the mare that was more than happy to let herself get fucked silly. Spike’s grip on her had changed many times throughout, moving from her hips to her legs to her ass as he tried to find a place to get a good grip. Rarity had all but gone crazy, she still tried to muffle herself when she could when Spike would get especially rough but she found it hard to stay quiet. As his heavy thrusts continued he could feel a peak coming, he wouldn’t last much longer with the new feeling. He groaned out as he did what he could to keep going but he knew he wouldn’t be able to keep it up for long. “Rarity! I’m so close!”

“Give it to me Spike! Please! I need it!” She reached out to him, begging to be held, without hesitating he grabbed her and held her close to his body, getting up on the table a bit and pounding into her hard. Rarity wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard. Spike kissed her back hard, moving his hips hard until he had no strength left and slammed down into her. With a final muffled yell from both of them he came inside her hard, he pumped his hot seed into her and Rarity tensed up hard holding him close to her.

After a while he dropped himself from the table and stood before Rarity, he had her sitting up as she held onto him. He slowly pulled out of her and his seed slowly poured out of her. Rarity shivered hard with a big smile across her face as she held onto him. Spike smiled and held her close in return, listening to her breathing and silently rubbing her back lightly. They looked at each other, looked into each other's eyes and moved closer and closer together. When their lips got closer, the sharp sound of whistling filled their ears. They both blinked and gaze out at the ocean.

BOOM

The couple jumped as the explosion went out but they relaxed as their eyes were suddenly filled with color. Large arcs of color shot into the air and exploded into blooming streams of color.

Rarity blinked and gasped. “The fireworks! I’d almost forgotten…” She put her hand on her cheek and looked out at the firework, watching them explode into fantastical flowers of color. All around them the fireworks went off, below them the sound of chatter and gasps of the crowd they’d forgotten was below them. Rarity fixed her hair and looked to Spike for a moment. “Spike darl-”

His eyes locked onto the fireworks. A large smile had built on his face. He’d hardly ever seen them so he was fascinated by them. Rarity was swallowed up by his eyes, they glowed with color as each pyrotechnic went off in the distance. Her emeralds were right there, so close. A large smile grew on her face as she gazed upon him. How did she ever think he’d disappear from her sight? He was always so close. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she placed her hands on her chest. She tried to stop a sniffle but it came out catching Spike’s attention.

“Rarity? What’s wrong?” He put a hand on her cheek and Rarity gaze at him.

“I...I love you so much, Spike. It almost hurts.” Rarity laughed and tried to wipe away the tears as they came, but they came out more and more. “I just...I love you...I love you, Spike.” She began to cry and Spike wrapped his arms around her neck and held her close as she wept into his neck.

“I love you too Rarity.” He planted a kiss on her cheek and slowly kissed up the side of her face until he reached her lips. Their lips came together and Rarity wrapped her arms around him tight, almost fearful that he might vanish. She smiled into the kiss and pulled back a bit.

“My dear beloved, I can say without a doubt, this has been the greatest night of my life.” She wiped a tear away.

“Maybe, but that's because this is our first of many dates.” Spike grinned and Rarity giggled as Spike began to help her with her dress.

“I suppose that’s true.” Her horn glowed and both of them were cleaned up quite nicely. “And I’ll add, this night is not yet over.”

Spike smiled and took a step back and put his hand out. “Then shall we return my dear?”

“Why yes my beloved, I think we should.” She stood up and put something in Spike’s pants pocket. Spike blinked for a moment and reached his hand in and his face began to glow a bright red.

“R-R-”

A finger was placed on his lips. “Shhh, my dear.”

“I had hoped to speak to you about your next line Miss Rarity, but I see you’re quite occupied, I’ll make sure to speak to you another time.” A fashion designer waved to Rarity as she wrapped her arms around Spike’s once again, though she had been doing this all night, this time was different. Her body was pushed into his and one of her hands was linked with his, their fingers intertwined. This caught the attention of almost everyone they spoke to. Of the many who knew of Rarity, they never heard of her being quite so possessive of anypony, or any dragon with her current company. But they also noticed something else, said dragon seemed to be distracted and whenever Rarity spoke to him he would stutter and apologize to whomever he was talking to. However, his tail never left Rarity’s waist, it was wrapped around her in its own possessive way.

Spike’s free hand was in his pocket at any moment he had. He had to make sure the item in his pocket wasn’t seen by anypony. His tail was wrapped around her to hopefully draw away eyes that would notice how closely her dress clung to her body.

The hall of the hotel was very quiet as Rarity and Spike walked back to her room. Spike was still blushing and Rarity walked with a very noticeable sway in her hips, deliberately drawn Spike’s attention. “Oh Spikey?”

Spike’s eyes shot up to her face and he worked his mouth to say something when Rarity slowly moved into his airspace. “Y-yes Rarity?”

“...you’re too good for somepony like me…” She smiled and put her hands on his chest, slowly kissing him and pulling back. “You’re fantastic! A truly wonderful dragon and I couldn’t be more proud or more in love with another dragon, let alone another pony. Well, perhaps Sweetie Belle has you beat.” She giggled and watched Spike smile. “But I need you in my life. You are my muse, my dearest partner, my anchor, my beloved emerald. There is no price I wouldn’t pay to be by your side forever. To watch you grow into the future ahead of you. But now is not the time to think of such things.” She slowly took his hands and smiled at him. “Let them be jealous, let them be upset, I want to say it first.” She kissed him again. “Marry me Spikey…”

Spike looked at her and his face grew into a large smile. “Of course I will, but not just you.” He moved his hands to her waist and picked her up, earning a surprised giggle from her. “I’m going to marry all of you! I swear on my name.” He held her up and she put her hands on his shoulders. “You stole the first kiss of the ceremony at least.”

“Yay!” Rarity threw her arms out and wiggled her legs in delight as Spike moved her down to her hooves.

They looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.

“Goodnight Rarity.”

“Goodnight Spike, my dearest beloved.”

Her door opened and she looked back at him. “You can keep them if you’d like.”

She shut the door before he could answer and he absentmindedly thumbed the item in his pocket.

“Fuck me I love her so much.”
