//-------------------------------------------------------// The Lonely Widow -by Gentlehoof- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The lonely Widow //-------------------------------------------------------// The lonely Widow Dirtbound scooped soil out of the hole he was digging in Mrs. Blue Bonnet’s front yard and added it to the growing pile. Looking back at his work, he nodded in satisfaction and moved over to his wagon. Lifting out a young maple tree, he carried it back and carefully deposited it into the prepared hole. Working with care not damage the tree's delicate roots, he opened them up and began tamping dirt back in. When he was finished, Dirtbound brushed his hooves off and used his scarf to wipe sweat off his brow. Collecting his tools, he walked back to his wagon and stored them in the back. Glancing up at the sun, he saw it about time to head home. The sound of a door opening drew his attention back up to the porch. “Oh amazing! It looks absolutely perfect!” Mrs. Blue Bonnet exclaimed, stepping out onto her porch to admire her new tree. Despite being in her middle years, she was still rather good looking with a figure of a mare several years younger. Her coat was a bright orange with a moderate scarlet mane and tail. Her cutie mark was bright blue bonnet tied with yellow ribbons. Dirtbound nodded with a pleased smile. “Just finished up now.” “Perfect timing!” Mrs. Blue Bonnet said happily, giving him a smile. "I nearly have supper ready. Why don't you come inside and join me." Dirtbound blinked up at her in surprise feeling his cheeks flush. She’d never offered dinner before. “Please mam. That’s not necessary.” “Please. I insist.” Mrs. Blue Bonnet said rather firmly. “I won’t take no for an answer.” She turned to go inside and paused to look back over her shoulder to motion for him to follow. "Now, come along." Unable to turn down her kind offer without being rude, Dirtbound followed her inside. Normally, he tried to keep his gaze where it was proper, but as he followed behind Mrs. Blue Bonnet, he found his gaze lingering on her rounded flanks as she walked, her hips rolling pleasantly as she moved ahead of him. Suddenly, her tail swished to the side and Dirtbound’s eyes widened in surprise when he caught a brief glimpse of her marehood hidden beneath. The inside of her was meticulously neat, with everything in its proper place. To the left of the small foyer was a richly furnished living room. Two floral couches sat across from each other with a rich oak sitting table positioned between. Set out along the window was a small reading table with a plush sitting chair pushed up next to it. An open book was laid out with a flower marking the page. To right was an office. A thick, green and gold scroll-worked carpet covered the polished hardwood floor with a large desk positioned to face the entrance. Ahead, was well worn set of stairs, leading up to the second floor. Stepping across the polished hardwood floor, Mrs. Blue Bonnet turned to looked back at him with a smile. “How about you use the shower to wash up first. The bathroom is the first door at the top of the stairs.” Watching her disappear down the hall to the kitchen, Dirt did as she asked and climbed up the stairs to the bathroom. Stepping inside, he closed the door and moved over to the large cast iron tub and turned the knobs to start up the shower. Pulling the curtain closed behind him, Dirt stepped into the tub and let out a pleased sigh as he felt the hot water soak into his almond-brown coat. Scrubbing shampoo into his sandy yellow mane, Dirt was surprised when the shower curtain suddenly pulled aside and Mrs, Blue Bonnet looked in. "I brought you a towel to use." "Oh! Ah... Thank you," Dirt hastily said, feeling suddenly much too hot. Was it his imagination or was her gaze lingering oddly long on his body? "Here, let me help wash your back." Mrs. Blue Bonnet said, taking up the shampoo. Before he could say anything, Mrs. Blue Bonnet dribbled out some shampoo onto his back and began scrubbing his coat with her hooves. "That's really not necessary," Dirt managed to stammer out, feeling her hooves moving along his body. "It's really no bother," Mrs. Blue Bonnet assured him. "I used to help wash my husband's back all the time. He appreciated how through I was in cleaning all those hard to reach places. Dirt felt his heart suddenly start galloping a mile a minute when he felt her hoof slip down his side to start scrubbing rather close his groin. He couldn't stop himself, her touch just felt too good. His stallionhood began to slip out, and lengthen below him. "Oh my!" Mrs. Blue Bonnet murmured with amusement as her eyes traveled down his stiffened shaft. "My husband would have the same reaction when I washed him too." Dirt let out a stifled groan of embarrassment. This was worse than when one of his sisters walked in on him when he was stroking himself! He expected her to be outraged at vulgar display, but instead, she continued to scrub him without any apparent discomfort, in fact, she seemed rather pleased by it. To his disappointment, Mrs. Blue Bonnet dropped her hooves down and she stood back. "There. All clean." Opening up a bin, she took out a towel and began drying her hooves off. "Dinner will be ready in shortly. Come down to the dining room when you are ready." Dirt watched as Mrs. Blue Bonnet turned to leave, his eyes catching a brief glimpse of her glistening marehood as it winked open, before being properly covered by her tail as she made her way to the door. Did she do that on purpose!? Panting for breath from his need to claim the mare, he slammed the hot water valve off and gasped in shock when he felt colt water cascade over his body, cooling his now burning body. After a while, Dirt turned the water off and stepped out of the tub. Shivering, he took up a towel and began rubbing himself dry. Dropping the towel into the hamper by the door, Dirtbound stepped out into the hallway. He was about to head down the stairs to the dining room when he noticed the pictures on the wall. Curious, Dirt paused to look at them. The first one he looked at showed a mare and stallion standing beside each other smiling with three foals arrayed out before them, a older colt and filly with a much younger filly, resembling a young Blue Bonnet, sitting in front of them. The next picture showed Mrs. Blue Bonnet wearing a long white wedding dress with a young stallion, wearing a hideously blue tuxedo, standing beside her. That must be her husband. Turning his attention back to Mrs. Blue Bonnet, he couldn't help but notice how happy she looked. The next few pictures showed various scenes of holiday and travel pictures. Then he came to a image of her husband boarding a ship. He was smiling and waving down at the camera. Tucked into the corner of the picture was a news clipping, telling of a ship that had been lost out at sea with no survives. Past that last picture, rest of the wall was bare. Continuing down to the dinning room, he found dinner already set out. “Perfect timing," Mrs. Blue Bonnet said, setting out a platter of buttered bread. "Please have a seat.” “The food smells delicious,” Dirtbound said, sniffing the air eagerly. It had been a while since he had a good home cooked meal. Mrs. Blue Bonnet smiled as she ladled the stew into his bowl. “That is very kind of you to say. This was one of my late husband's favorites.” Dirtbound gazed down into his steaming bowl of vegetable stew and sniffed its rich aroma. “Thank you for the meal,” he said gratefully. As they ate, Mrs. Blue Bonnet asked him to tell her a little about himself. Dirtbound told Mrs. Blue Bonnet about his youth growing up on a farm in Salt Lick Junction, with his parents and five older sisters. "Sisters are the worst! Being the youngest, I was always treated like a baby. They were always telling me what to do and whenever I did anything wrong they'd go running off to blab to our parents to get me into trouble!" Dirt sighed and shook his head. "Don't get me wrong, I love them all very much, it just wasn't easy living with them. When I was finally old enough, I moved out here to Dodge City and got a job working at the Green Hoof nursery last year." "I myself grew up in Dodge City." Mrs. Blue Bonnet said. "It was a smaller town when I was a little filly and I used to play right out in the streets. My parents were tailors owning their own shop here in town. They passed it over to me when they retired and moved to Silver Shoals. I wasn't much for making coats and dresses, so I changed it to a Millinery shop called Heavenly Chapeau." They chatted throughout dinner and when they were finished, Dirt offered to help wash the dishes, but she only smiled and waved him down as she cleared the table. Sitting alone, Dirt was starting to wonder if he should go, when Mrs. Blue Bonnet suddenly reappeared. "I ah... have a favor to ask of you." She seemed hesitant to continue, looking flushed for some reason. "I need help moving something. Would you mind?" "No, no! Of course not." Dirt assured her, standing. "I'd be happy to help. What is it you need?" "It's ah... upstairs in my room," Mrs. Blue Bonnet said, gesturing over her shoulder. "I'll show you the way." Dirt followed as she led him up the stairs. For some reason she seemed rather anxious as her tail kept flicking to the side, giving him quick glimpses of her marehood. Dirt was so focused on catching the little tidbits of pink flesh, he failed to notice her glance back at him with a small smile. Reaching the top of the stairs, she led him along the balusters that ran along the top to a door. Entering the room, Dirt looked around for what she wanted moved, when he heard Mrs. Blue Bonnet close the door behind him. Turning to look back at her, he noticed that her gaze had become more, focused on him, almost hungry looking. "Mrs. Blue Bon-..." "Please. Just call me Blue." She began walking closer to him. "Ah... Blue, what ah... is it you wanted me to move for you?" "I have a confession to make," she said, gazing up at him with her hunger filled eyes. "The thing I need you help with is something much more... personal." Reaching up, she planted her lips to his own. Dirtbound's heart began hammering in his chest as he felt her tongue run along his lips. Was this really happening!? Her hoof came up to his chest as he felt her begin pushing him back towards the bed. The fire that had been started during his bath, suddenly roared up like a furnace. His lips eagerly seized hers as his hot breath panted out onto her cheek. Before he knew what he was doing, he turned her about and pushed her onto the bed. Blue looked surprised, but quickly recovered as she gazed up at him. Spreading her legs, she opened herself up to him. Letting out a eager nicker, Dirt bought his muzzle to her now sopping wet marehood and took in her deep, rich, musky scent. He could smell her need to be taken, and bred by a stallion. With wet smacks, he began licking her, delving his tongue deep into her body as he savored the taste of her. With her head thrown back, Blue moaned in pure pleasure as she began to grind her marehood along his lapping tongue. Soon, she began groaning and writhing on the bed as her body began to tense up. Suddenly she cried out as she began twitching, her marehood clamping down onto his tongue as a flood of her juices gushed out into his mouth. After a short while, Blue smiled as she fell breathlessly back onto the bed. "I need more. I need you to take me and fill me with you seed!" Dirt's throbbing stallionhood was more than ready as he eagerly climbed up between her legs. Thrusting his hips forward, he began searched for her opening. Suddenly, he felt his stallionhood become enveloped in a warmth as he pushed into her. Blue Bonnet moaned as her hooves clutched at the sheets, her body shivering under his as he delved deeper into her body. Dirtbound couldn’t believe how good it felt having her warm soft walls sliding along his shaft, and he had to fight the urge to keep himself from blowing his seed right then. Blue's forehooves wrapped around his back as she urged him to go in deeper, her heavy breath panting out with her need. Finally, his hips pressed up snugly against her thighs as he took her as deeply as he could. Gazing down at her bliss filled face, Dirt lowered his head and kissed her, feeling her lips answer his touch with a fierce passion of their own. Pulling himself back, he withdrew his cock before plunging it back in, keeping his pace steady as he relished the feeling of her slick walls sliding along his thrusting shaft. Blue Bonnet’s hooves tightened around his rump as she urged him to thrust harder. The room filled with the wet sounds of their hips smacking, as their bodies repeatedly came together. Sweat slicked their coats as they moved in unison, their breaths coming heavy. Dirtbound could feel he wasn’t going to last very long as his cock began to flair wider, sealing itself more tightly in her marehood. Feeling his stallionhood flaring deep inside her , Blue Bonnet wrapped her hooves more tightly around his back as her pleasure started to peak to blissful new levels. Dirtbound groaned, unable to hold himself back anymore. “Blue, I’m about to…” “Yes! Yes! Breed me!” Blue Bonnet cried out, her marehood clamping tightly around his feverishly thrusting shaft. “Fill me with your seed!” Dirtbound moaned as he felt her marehood milking his shaft for his seed. It was too much! Shoving himself as deeply as he could, he sealed himself right up to the entrance to her womb and erupted with a long groan, spurting his virile seed deeply into her womb! Throb after throb, he pumped himself into her, filling her as she tightly clutched at his back. Locked tightly deep inside her, his flared cock sealed her overfilled womb as he emptied the last of his seed into her. Dirt sagged down with a satisfied grin. He did it! He mated his first mare! Rubbing her hoof along his back, Blue murmured happily to herself, as she felt his warm seed deep within her. Pulling his softening cock free, a deluge of fluids came cascaded out, soaking into the sheets as he fully withdrew himself. “I’m sorry.” Dirtbound apologized, seeing the mess he made. Blue Bonnet smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry about it. Its normal.” Settling together on the bed, Blue nestled her head on his shoulder as she let out a contented sigh. “Thank you.” “Hmm?” Dirt replied, cracking his eyes open to look down at her. “What for?” “For this,” she answered, snuggling her cheek into him. “It’s been so long since I’ve been with a stallion. I’ve gotten so old, I was beginning to believe no stallion would ever want me.” “Nonsense!” Dirt exclaimed, aghast the she'd believe such a thing. “You’re still beautiful mare! Any stallion can see that!” Blue Bonnet let out a light laugh and drew her hoof around his body and hugged him close. "That's sweet of you to say." Closing her eyes, she slipped off to sleep. Dirt soon followed after. He didn't know what time it was when he woke. The room was dark as blinked his eyes open. The soft sounds of breathing next to him let him know that Blue Bonnet was still asleep. With a light peck on her lips, Dirtbound carefully climbed out of bed and made his way to the door. As quietly as he could, he descended the dark stairs and crossed to the front door. With a final look up the stairs, he slipped outside and descended the steps to her front walkway, disappearing into the night. Walking down the road, Dirtbound nervously checked the time on the clock tower. It had been a year since that night. A year since he'd last seen her. She never tried to contact him since then, so he figured she'd gotten what she'd wanted from him and didn't want or need him anymore. At least that is what he thought until he suddenly received a letter from her telling him to meet her at the park the next day. Turning off the road onto the pathway, Dirtbound made his way into the park. The sounds of foals playing grew louder as he approached the playground. Coming to a stop next to a bench, Dirt looked around, searching for Blue. “Hello, Dirt," a voice nervously greeted him from behind. Dirtbound’s ears perked up as he looked back at Mrs. Blue Bonnet. Something about her looked different. Almost like she had some kind of glow about her. Somehow, she looked even more beautiful then when he'd last seen her. She smiled at him anxiously as she shifted in place. “I’m glad you came. I thought you should meet her.” Meet her? Dirtbound heard a muted mewling cry, and his attention was drawn to a stroller that was sitting beside Blue Bonnet. Suddenly his heart nearly stopped at the implications of what the stroller meant. Stepping forward on his suddenly shaky hooves, Dirtbound slowly approached the stroller and looked inside. Laying on a green and yellow blanket was a blush-pink filly with a light lavender mane and very, very, deep, navy-blue eyes. Dirtbound blinked down at the filly as he struggled to catch his breath. Was this real? Was this really happening? “Her name is Silver Trim,” Blue Bonnet said, walking over to stand beside him. “Is…?” Dirtbound was having trouble getting his tongue to work right. “Is she… mine?” Blue Bonnet smiled and nodded. “Yes.” Dirtbound felt like his head had been hit by a very large and very adorable train. A baby!? He was a daddy!? “I’m so sorry for keeping this from you,” Mrs. Blue Bonnet hurriedly said, her voice becoming shaky. “I thought about telling you a million times, but… I was just… I was afraid.” Tears came to her eyes, as she quickly wiped them away. “You see. She’s everything to me. Everything I ever wanted.” Dirtbound tore his eyes away from their daughter to look at Blue Bonnet. Tears were now openly flowing as she spoke. “I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.” Blue Bonnet said, her lips trembling. “I thought that if I didn't tell you, it would become easier.” Dirtbound was hurt by her confession, but understood why she'd do it. Loneliness. Years, upon years of loneliness. Of course she'd be afraid of losing the bit of joy that had come into her life. Could he forgive her? Should he forgive her? Looking back down at their daughter, Dirt felt his heart swell with sudden affection. “Can... I hold her?” Dirtbound asked. “Of course!” Blue Bonnet quickly answered. “Here. Let me take her out for you.” Reaching into the stroller she carefully scooped up the filly into her hooves and turned to hold her out to him. Reaching out, Dirtbound took Silver Trim into the crook of his leg and cradled her. Sucking her pacifier, Silver Trim blinked up at him as she met his gaze. “Hello. I’m your daddy.”
