While a satisfied Zecora headed home, Barb was on her way back as she mulled over what she'd been told. While the idea was kinky, seeing her friends as her hoard was...well, it seemed a little out there.

Either way, Zecora was right and she needed to talk to Twilight. The only problem was how. 'What am I supposed say, 'Twi, my hoarding instinct is making me want to claim you and the others'? Yeah, that's going to work!' As she ranted to herself, her mind started bringing up images of what could happen:

'Twilight turned to leave the room, a large rock-hewn cell with Barb in the middle, every part of her wrapped up in shackles, chains, and chains made from shackles. "Don't you think you're overreacting a little?"

"Throw away the key." Was the last thing she heard before the metal slab of a door slammed shut'

'"By order of Princess Twilight, you are banned from setting foot on Equestrian for the rest of your natural life." The leader of the guards stated as they looked at Barb, who was now on the other side of the boarder, staring at a couple dozen spears pointed right at her.

"You could've at least let me pack..." She whined. '

However, as that part of her mind continued with 'the worst that could happen', another part decided to throw its two bits in.

'"What are you waiting for!?" Twilight demanded, ripping her shirt open. "CLAIM ME!" With a squeal, she jumped into Barb's arms.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that." Twilight purred, licking her lips as she sauntered over.

"That goes double for us." Starlight grinned from beside Barb, slowly slipping a hand down into her pants.

By the time she made it back to the palace, she was a twitchy ball of nerves and hormones. She was shaking so bad, it took a minute for her to finally turn the knob. "T-T-Twi-Twilight?" She called out, her legs wobbling with each step.

"In here, Barb." Her voice called out from the living room.

She gulped and made her way there as best she could. Twilight was there, reclining on the couch with a book...and wearing nothing but a button-up shirt that was wide open. A whine escaped her lips; she could decide if she should try an hide, or jump the mare right then.

"You ok, Barb?" Twilight asked when she saw her. "You look like you just tried one of Sweetie's fruit smoothies!"

"I...I found out why gems aren't helping me sleep." She replied, taking a deep breath and sitting down at the opposite end of the couch.

It took a little while, mostly because she hesitated a lot mentioning the fantasies she kept getting about the others, as well as nearly being caught. She wasn't too sure if it helped that Twilight giggled at how Big Mac reacted, but she continued. After getting to what Zecora had said, and the slight bit of panicking she had, she stopped and warily glanced over to see the response.

By then, Twilight had made her way closer and was right beside Barb when she finished. "So, instead of gems and similar, your hoarding instinct, or what's left of it, is calling for you to claim your friends and as your 'hoard'?"

"Yeah."

"And you were worried that I'd react in a less than favorable way about it."

Barb nodded.

"Well, then I can tell you, without a shadow of doubt...I kind of already knew."

"Wh-huh?"

"It wasn't too hard to notice when you were fantasizing about them. I didn't say anything because I figured you'd say something when you felt ready, and I didn't want things uncomfortable. Let me ask you, if you feel up for answering; how many of our friends have you had one about?"

Barb blushed deeply. "May be easier to say which ones I haven't..."

Twilight sighed. "Well, I think we should be able to work out something later. For now, though..." She gave Barb a sultery grin and swung a leg over the dragoness' lap, straddling her and gripping her erection through her pants. "Despite your fun with Zecora, it looks like you're still pent up."

"Heh, g-guess....oh Celestia..." She moaned as Twilight started stroking her. "I..I guess it shooohh.." Barb leaned back against the couch, her hands resting on Twilight's thighs, slowly dragging her claws along the supple flesh.

"Mmm...what do you say we up the ante a little?" Twilight's horn glowed and she teleported the pants away, leaving her naked from the waist down. "Much better." She purred and pushed the shirt up with her free hand to expose her lover's own ample bust. Still pumping, she leaned in and wrapped her lips around one of the hard nubs, her tongue lathing over it.

"Twi..." Barb squeaked, bucking into her hand slightly. "Oh yeah...mmm..." Licking a finger, she slid her hands down to grip Twilight's firm ass, the now slick digit finding its way over her tight little pucker.

It didn't take her IQ to tell what was about to happen. "Be gentle...?" She let the tit go just long enough to ask.

Biting her lip, Barb nodded and slowly applied pressure on the small ring of muscle, gently pushing it open until she gained entry with soft 'pop'.

Twilight let out a squeal at the sensation, arching her back as Barb's finger slipped deeper into her ass, stopping two knuckles in. "Wow...!" Her voice quivered a little and she looked up at Barb with a little smile. "Now I know why some mares like it in the back!"

"Oh?" She leaned in and started to slowly pump her finger. "Then maybe I'll give you something else back there." Barb thrust into her hand to emphasize it.

"Ahh...I...I'm looking forward to...oh fuck!" She clenched down reflexively on Barb's finger, moving her hand away to swap it for her already dripping mound, grinding it along the length.

Barb hissed in pleasure and caught Twilight's lips in a searing kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." She whispered.
