Author's Note

I just want to say beforehand that I don't really write sex scenes as I feel they don't really add to the story but seeing how this is a major leap for our two leads, I deemed it necessary to include. Plus, you know, the whole two-anthropomorphic-animals-having-sex thing. Not really my bag, baby. Due to my inexperiance, I prematurely apologize if you don't like this chapter.

Annnnnnnd now you will know why I changed the rating on this story.

Chapter 36-Passion

Twilight could barely breath at the sight of Sombra climbing onto the bed, his taut muscles stretching beneath his gray skin, his scarlet eyes burning with desire as he climbed on top of her. It was like a scene from out of one of her romance novels. No, this is a hundred times better. As intelligent as she prided herself to be, her imagination in regards to eroticism was sadly lacking. There had been many nights where she'd furiously clopped to the thought of being one of her romance novel heroines and upon completion, would throw herself back onto the bed in exhaustion and shamefully pull the covers over herself. Now that it was a reality, she was both terrified and exhilarated by the prospect of losing her virginity to her dark king.

Her mind completely went blank as Sombra lightly kissed her neck and went about dragging the very tips of his fangs along her chest and stomach, the thrill of their sharpness sending a pleasurable chill down her spine. She arched her back suddenly when she felt his hot breath on her marehood and found a pair of red, almost predator-like eyes staring at it, his long tongue licking his lips at the prospect of dining on her. "S-Sombra," Twilight squeaked. "Please be gentle."

Sombra paused. While his eyes were wide with mindless, carnal hunger, his voice was gentle and sympathetic: "I will, Twi. Trust me." Twilight couldn't contain the yelp that fled her mouth when Sombra dragged that long tongue across the entrance of her folds in one long lick. It was followed by a slower lick, one that split her folds and had her shuddering as her hooves dug into the sheets. With his eyes ablaze with desire, Sombra looked Twilight dead in the eyes as he straightened his tongue and inserted it spear-like into her marehood. Spots danced across her eyes, her body lightly convulsing as Sombra's tongue wiggled snake-like inside of her. She grit her teeth to keep from crying out; she didn't want the whole kingdom to hear her.

"Fuck!" Twilight hissed. She'd never used such language before but then again, she'd never been given oral sex before. The tongue danced, prodded and wriggled its way inside of her, making her silently curse it and praise it for its work. "Mmm, ehm, fuck!" Something touched her sides and she nearly jolted out of the bed when she realized what she was looking at: a pair of black tendrils that stroked her body in little circles. She traced their origin to a black corona surrounding Sombra, his body surrounded by a semi-tangible cloud of darkness. "Sombraaaaa-!" The tendrils wrapped themselves around Twilight's midsection, massaging her stomach and chest with such tenderness that she soon forgot what they even were and found that they somehow added to the experience.

"Som-Som-nggh, fuck!" With one last prod of that wicked muscle, Twilight convulsed on the bed as the hardest orgasm she'd ever had hit her like a runaway wagon, rattling her brains and shaking her insides while she attempted to hang onto consciousness. If this is how I die, then take me away, I'm dying happy! The tendrils whipped away and Sombra raised his head, licking his lips as his muzzle shined with Twilight's fresh juices. The sight of her lover snacking on her juices like that did nothing to help her current post-orgasm stupor. It's too soon but I want to go again.

"Twilight that was...what are you staring at...?" Sombra saw the aura around him and the black tendrils that jutted from it before wincing as he focused and drew it back into himself. "Twilight, honey, I am so sorry! I didn't mean it, I just got a little carried-..."

With great difficulty, Twilight mumbled, "Don't...you...dare...apologize."

He stared at her dumbstruck. "You're okay with it?"

"It was...unexpected. I'll let it slide...this once," she answered, blinking away the spots. She was a pretty normal unicorn mare and wasn't a fan of the kinkier stuff that she knew lurked out there but damn, that was hot! Sombra didn't mean it but she was glad that he did it. It would definitely be a very, very long time before she wanted to do anything else with those things. There was a shift in the mattress as Sombra laid beside her and scooped her up into his forelegs. Twilight sighed pleasantly, feeling nestled and safe in his embrace.

An hour had passed before Twilight rolled over and kissed Sombra's nose. "I'm ready for...you know."

Sombra exhaled sharply. "Okay then. Slowly." He rose onto his knees and gently pulled Twilight into the center of the bed, carefully spreading her hindlegs, causing the mare to unconsciously bite her lower lip. Her eyes were drawn to the fully erect stallion penis in front of her and her jaw nearly dropped. She had, of course, taken a sexual education class in school and was familiar with equine reproductive anatomy. It was a dark gray like the rest of him with a domed head and tapering to a slight point however, it was the length that did it for her. Then again, she really shouldn't be surprised; he was twice her size and his genitalia would be proportional. Unknowingly, she started to shudder erotically.

"I'm ready."

Sombra nodded and a green glow shot from his horn and encapsulated his member, creating a magic-based condom. "Then here we go."

The shaft dragged along the lips before slowly sinking in, setting Twilight's insides aflame as she found herself impatiently waiting for the full length to be inside of her. The head burrowed its way inside, creating a white-hot pressure in her nethers that caused her to clamp down on it. She whimpered, half-wishing for it to be over. Sombra ran his hooves along the sides of her face and this calmed her down. He was peering down at her, his eyes so gentle and full of love that Twilight relaxed enough so that he slid half of his length inside. The pain flared in her vagina but then seemed to dull as she laid there letting Sombra's stallionhood throb inside of her.

"It's okay, Twilight. Look at me. It's alright," Sombra cooed soothingly and he bent down to lightly kiss her, which she happily returned, sucking on his lower lip like a lollipop. They stayed like that for five minutes until Sombra slid the rest in and Twilight felt a spark hit her innards as she housed his full length. It was beginning to cause her to feel sore but in a good kind of way and now that she was used to it, she was prepared for what naturally came next. "Ready?"

Twilight nodded and then Sombra made the first thrust, making her wince as her eyes practically bulged out of their sockets. He pulled back and repeated the motion, this time a warm knot formed in her stomach followed by a sort of buzz in her thighs. With each thrust, Twilight became more and more accustomed to it and felt the pleasure increase, as if she'd suddenly become very hungry. It was utter bliss for the mare as she wrapped her forelegs around Sombra's waist, pulling him in closer. "S-Sombra...faster..."

The umbrum slipped his forelegs beneath Twilight's back and kissed her neck before moving onto her ear, his teeth tenderly grazing the lobe. Oh sweet Celestia! Sombra rammed into Twilight and she had to bite into a pillow to keep from crying aloud. She wrapped her forelegs around his neck and found herself staring into his eyes, which had never looked more passionate nor intensely focused. "Twilight..." He grunted, her name sounding like a prayer on his tongue. As ridiculous as it sounded, she wanted nopony else to use her name, not when Sombra used it so reverently.

The heat rose in Twilight's cervix as Sombra's thrusts picked up speed and the whole room seemed to spin. Her heart was beating faster than she ever thought possible, her breathing becoming hitched and erratic. Twilight felt her thighs and flank begin to tingle, her jaw and throat tensing up. She was so close now. "Ngh, Sombra, I'm...ahhh!" The orgasm struck like a rogue wave and she struggled to ride it out, every muscle in her body locking up as fireworks exploded behind her eyes. A hotness extended out of her marehood and spread throughout her body, hitting her chest and skull before she sank limply into the mattress. Taking several deep breaths, Twilight finally regained control over her breathing.

Meanwhile, Sombra's strokes started to slow down, his breathing becoming hard. Wrapping his forelegs around Twilight, he looked deep into her eyes before he gave one final thrust and grunted with relief as he came. He panted hard before rolling over and catching his breath. That was...it was... For once, Twilight had no frame of reference and that was saying a lot as she prided herself on having a large vocabulary and encyclopedic knowledge. She slid over and rested her head on Sombra's chest, listening to the thump-thump-thump of his heartbeat. He wrapped a foreleg around her and began to stroke her back, his touch gentle and soothing. She had done it. She had finally had sex. Taking a loving glance at Sombra, Twilight shook her head and corrected herself. No, not sex. I made love.

For what seemed to be an eternity, the pair laid there, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking session, content to just lay there in the other's embrace for as long as they were allowed. Twilight ran a hoof over Sombra's bare stomach, amazed at how attractive he was without his armor, how toned and well-muscled. She thought back to their lovemaking and how incredible it felt, how they just seemed so...connected. Even without the whole soulmate thing, it felt as though they were made for each other. Still, there was an annoying little question that had festered at the back of her mind and she could no longer ignore it. "Sombra?"

"Yes Twilight?"

Well, here we go. "Was I your first?"

There was a pause and in a voice evidently filled with pain, he responded, "No. But I wish you were."

A part of Twilight ached but she had to know. "Was it...Celestia?"

She looked at Sombra but found his stare mournful and far-off, like it usually was when he spoke of his past. "It was my fourteenth birthday," he began almost mechanically. "My father never threw me parties or gave me presents as he felt that every day you were living was a celebration and thus birthdays were pointless. I was in my room when he came in followed by this young mare, who had to be at least twenty." He paused to take a gulp of air. "My father smiled and said, 'Congratulations. Now you're officially a stallion. As such, here's a little present for you.' I knew what a prostitute was; my father was a frequent client and had been bringing them into the castle for as long as I could remember.

"I didn't recognize this one. She looked young and shy, like she didn't even want to be there, like she didn't have a better option. My father then said, 'This is Honeysuckle. This is her first day and I want you to break her in. Happy birthday, son.' And then, I had sex with her. My father stayed and watched. Wanted to make sure I did it right." Twilight was speechless. Just when she thought Sombra had suffered enough or that she couldn't hate Erebus anymore than she already did, then this little story proved her wrong. How Sombra remained sane after this eluded her.

"I'm so sorry, Sommy."

Sombra rolled over onto his side and faced Twilight, a softy smile on his face. "It was a long time ago. It doesn't matter. What does matter is the present and that's with you." He planted a kiss on her lips and then gave her another one, a prolonged, deep kiss that left them both moaning and begging for more. "What matters is that I love you. I'm yours just as you are mine. This I swear in the name of Kekuit and by the River Styx."

Twilight's heart was full to bursting with love. "I love you too, Sombra. I swear by the Elements of Harmony, by the sun of Celestia, by the moon of Luna that I am yours forever."
