Playing Pretend

The palace corridors were quiet as Spike and Luna trekked by Twilight’s office. Inside, she was talking to Starlight about something. Spike couldn’t catch all of it, but with the bits and pieces he did manage to pick up, it sounded like the makings of a issue between some students at her school of friendship, nothing major. Leading her by her hand, Spike and Luna slipped by the open door unnoticed and continued on their way.

The bathroom was in sight now. Spike opened the door and the two of them dashed inside, closing and locking the door behind them. Now that they were in private and he was sure they wouldn’t be overheard, Spike turned to face the princess, and she stalled in place, staring back at him. “Yes, Spike?”

He folded his arms across his chest and stared her down. “Hold on. I need to know something, before anything else happens.” He could see a shift in her expression. She didn’t look upset in the slightest. Spike was getting better at reading faces, and the look he saw in her eyes was one of concern.

Luna shrugged her shoulders and hopped up onto the vanity behind her, allowing her legs to hang. “Alright, Spike. Ask me anything you want to know.” She looked completely serious, so Spike began to relax a little.

He lowered his arms slowly, never breaking eye contact. “Why do you have it out for me? I mean, what’s with the sudden interest? You’ve never really seemed to care much before.” It felt good to get all of that off his chest, to really speak his mind.

The princess flexed her wings and cocked a sly grin. “So, that’s what this is all about... You’re skeptical of my intentions.”

Spike nodded his head. Of course he was. If what he learned about Celestia was true, he was skeptical of any mare hitting on him, especially Celestia’s younger sister.

“I can think of a lot of things to say, but whether or not they set your mind at ease is up to you.” She let out a long sigh. “I like you, Spike, more than I can ever express with my words alone. I’ve liked you for a very long time, and now, I want to do something with all of those feelings I’ve held inside me.”

Spike’s heart fluttered a little in his chest. “Really? Why... I mean, why didn’t you say anything before? Why wait until now to tell me this?”

Luna’s smile turned sour, and she slid forward, off of the vanity. “I’ve tried. I meant it when I told you how difficult it is to express my feelings towards you. When I caught wind that my sister was moving in to claim you, I tried to warn you about her and save you for myself, but I was too late.” She stepped closer towards him, holding her hands together. “I don’t resent my sister for what she did, but she took from you something that I desired. I guess not all of us can get what we want...”

Spike’s thoughts turned to the events that took place last night, when he lost his virginity to Celestia. That’s what Luna wanted, and she’d never be able to have it. He reached forward and took her hands in his own, rubbing his thumbs over the tops of her hands and feeling their smooth texture. “Why me, though? I’m just... me...”

Luna flipped her mane to the side and looked at him with watery eyes as her lips curled into a smile. “Why not? How could I not find you attractive, Spike? You’re brave, intelligent, handsome...” Spike swallowed and rubbed her hands a little harder. “You’ve always astounded me, but now you’ve grown up, and... Oh, Spike...”

Time seemed to slow down as the distance between their faces closed. Spike wasn’t sure what was pulling him in, but he didn’t want to fight it. His own eyes began to close as he and Luna came together. Then, their lips connected, and fireworks exploded in his mind.

He let go of her hands, and both of them began to explore. Her arms went around his back, one hand grabbing the back of his hand while the other rubbed up and down his spine. Spike, on the other hand, didn’t know where to start on Luna, so he just kinda started feeling... everything, and right off the bat, his hands were immediately drawn to her chest.

Luna took in a sharp breath as his hands grasped her breasts, but she didn’t object or interrupt the kiss. Instead, she parted her lips, and her tongue darted into his mouth.

Spike was caught off guard, but he didn’t back down and pressed on with his preverbal attack on her boobs, squeezing them through her shirt and bra again and again. This continued for what seemed like an eternity before Luna planted her hands on his chest and gave him a gentle shove.

Stunned, he looked for any signs that she’d suddenly changed her mind, but that was not the case. Luna fired him a ‘wink’ before grabbing onto the bottom of her tank top and pulling it over her head. “Can’t get wet with these on, can we?” Her sweatpants came off next and found themselves being tossed in the same corner as her top. Then, she turned so her back was facing him. “Help me with my bra, will you?”

Her form was a lot smaller than her sister’s. Instead of being voluptuous and curvy, Luna was slim from head to toe, but she still had curves where it really mattered, around her rump and bust.

Spike cocked his head to the side, but approached her anyway. This was new to him. “I, uh... Alright...” His mind drew a blank as he stared at the bra strap. It might as well have been a ten stage combination lock on a bank safe, because he was getting a headache just from looking at it.

Luna must have been able to read his thoughts, because she laughed out loud. “Oh, it’s not that hard. Really, Spike... Just pull both sides inward and unhook the right side from the rings on the left side. Got it?” Her instructions gave him some direction, and he gave it his best shot. Sure enough, the right side became unhooked from the left, and Luna let out a sigh of relief. “Hmmm... That’s better...”

As she turned around, her bra fell forward, and her naked breasts came into view. They were large for a mare her size, not quite as big as Celestia’s but more than a handful for anyone. She noticed Spike’s stare and chuckled. “Well? What do you think of them?”

Spike turned red and absentmindedly rubbed the back of his head. “They’re... They look great...”

Luna laughed again. Her laugher was music to his ears. “Oh, Spike, you’re too cute.” Then, she put on a seductive look and spun around once again. “If you liked that, then you’re really gonna love this...” As the last words flowed from her mouth, she hooked her thumps into her panties and bent over, pulling them down with her and exposing her rear in full view of the young dragon. Her cheeks spread ever so slightly as her last article of clothing passed her ankles before she kicked it away.

She had a firm, round ass, but what really got Spike’s attention was the carefully cut patch of blue hair over her slit. It looked like a pattern of some kind, maybe a replication of her cutie mark, but it was hard for him to tell without staring straight at her crotch. Now fully nude, Princess Luna stood before Spike, and she placed her hands on her hips. “Well?” She nodded towards the shower. “Isn’t it about time you got undressed too? We haven’t even gotten to the fun part yet...”

Spike’s mind clicked, and he quickly leaped I rock action, pulling his shirt over his head and throwing it in the heap with the princess’ clothes. His pants followed suit without hesitation, but he paused at his briefs. Luna saw and noticed the bulge tenting on his crotch. “Your body tells me one thing, but your thoughts hold you back... I understand if you’re having second thoughts about this, Spike.”

Spike didn’t know what to say. The last time he was in this position, he’d lost his virginity forever, and most of him now believed that to be a mistake. “How do we know this will work? You and I being together, I mean... What if it doesn’t? I don’t want to lose you as a friend and a... whatever we are...”

Luna smiled sadly as she approached him. “Spike, I’m not my sister. I won’t pretend to have all the answers you seek, because I don’t have them. If you’re worried about me seeking retribution should things end poorly, don’t.” She cupped his cheeks in her hands. “If we aren’t meant to be together, then so be it, but I’m not about to let that stop me from trying.” She released his face, her fingers gently drawing along the tip of his chin. “The way I see it, we won’t know anything until we begin.”

Spike stared down at his briefs, then at Luna, then down at his briefs again, then back at her. Finally, he made his decision, and he slipped out of the last of his clothes, becoming just as naked as the princess.

This earned him a wide grin from her as she pursed her lips, eyeing his stiffening cock. “Hmm... Not bad at all...” Then, she reached through the shower curtain and twisted the handle, turning on the hot water. “Let’s get started then, shall we? You still smell.”
