Midnight's Haze

Ruby felt the cold, icy touch of anxiety wash over her once more and she let her hoof drop from the intercom. Pulling back, she entered her room quickly, levitated her present in her magic and quickly concealed it with a small spell. Luna would probably notice something, but Ruby was actually more scared to present it to her than being found out.

Rushing back out into the hall, she saw Cinnamon standing by her door with a warm smile plastered on her face.

"You look beautiful, Rubes," she said, letting out a soft giggle.

Walking over, Cinnamon affectionately nuzzled Ruby's cheek then pulled back.

"I know how nervous you can be, so I prepared a little spell to help. It won't remove your nerves, but it will make you care less."

Ruby chewed her lip upon hearing that. It was true that she really didn't want to be a quivering mess while dining with the Princess, but was it really alright to use magic to help?

"Okay," she replied, still unsure. "I really don't want to embarrass her and, just for once, I'd like to not make a fool of myself." She heard herself say the words but didn't know if she'd be able to actually stick by them.

Cinnamon nodded. "Alright. This is just to help dilute your symptoms not remove them. Plus, I think it only lasts for a few hours anyway."

She lowered her head, pointing her horn at Ruby and fired a light pink beam right into her!

Ruby clenched her eyes shut as her head felt fuzzy for a few seconds. Opening her eyes, she blinked away the stars and glanced over to her friend. "How do I know if it worked?" she asked, her voice strangely higher pitched than normal. "Is this what I'm supposed to sound like?"

Cinnamon gazed at her friend and smirked. "Wow! You sound so fillyish!" she said, laughing. "Now get! You have a date!"

The mare practically pushed Ruby out of their dorm and down the elevator in an attempt to stop her from stalling.

Stumbling out of the elevator, Ruby stood in front of the frosted glass exit and took a breath. Even with the spell, she could feel her nerves, bubbling below the surface. The spell was simply a barrier, a crutch, to help her through this and once it faded, her feelings would show up once more.

Reaching out, she pressed her hoof against the door and pushed.

Ruby's eyes widened as she saw Luna standing there in all her glory. Her mane wasn't its usual galaxy filled form and instead was a more modest version of itself that fell over her shoulder and back and her long, slender legs were just as strong as ever, showing off her rippling muscles that just simply threatened to make Ruby weak in the knees.

That wasn't even mentioning Luna's gaze. Ruby felt her heart go silent once the Princess turned to look at her. In that moment, she knew she didn't even need Cinnamon's spell as her worries melted off of her.

"Hi, Pr-Luna," she whispered, standing there right outside her door as it shut behind her.

Judging from the expression on Luna's face, as well as the flush on her cheeks, she had made just as much of an impact.

Luna's eyes flowed over Ruby's form, taking in every inch of mare.

Ruby's dress clung to her, accentuating her in all the right places. The midnight black silk flowed off of her like darkness incarnate and hung slightly just above her fetlock, showing them off.

Luna blinked slowly, but a jab from Wing caused her to shake her head.

"Good afternoon, Ruby," she greeted, stepping forwards. She lowered herself down into a bow and held a hoof out for the mare.

Ruby's gaze flicked from that hoof to Wing, who gestured for her to take it in her own, which she did.

Luna looked up from her bow, her smile wider. "I am pleased," she said, sighing.

The Princess pulled Ruby's hoof in and pressed her lips to it while gazing into her eyes. "Now we can have our date, dear Ruby."

Ruby was sure her face was lit up but nodded nonetheless and let herself be led by Luna.

Wing had somehow disappeared during that performance, leaving Ruby alone with the Princess to walk through the campus. As usual, there were weren't many ponies about, leaving them in relative silence, until Luna spoke up.

"I must say that you look absolutely divine, Ruby," she said, looking down at her. "I can only apologise for not wearing my own dress. I would not be able to use my chameleon spell with one on."

Ruby heard the sincerity in Luna's voice and leaned against her, giving a soft nuzzle on her leg, to which Luna gladly accepted.

"I don't really mind," Ruby said, feeling a warm shiver pass through her as she felt Luna's soft fur. "I prefer you without."

Luna blinked and tilted her head, curious. "When did you become so forward, my sweet?"

Pulling away slightly, Ruby felt a small slither of fear run through her. "I," she began, pausing for a second to think of her response. "Cinnamon cast a spell on me. It helps me not be so," with a wave of her hoof to gesture to herself, "me."

She saw Luna's brow arch down in the beginning of a frown. "It's a fine sentiment. I did wonder why your voice was higher than normal but didn't want to question too soon."

The Princess slowed to a stop and sighed.

"Using a spell might help this time, Ruby. But you must face the problem head on. But, as your princess," she said, leaning down with her lips next to Ruby's ear, "and owner, it’s my job to help you."

Ruby squeaked, her body quivering at her dates words.

"Of course, Princess," she whispered, face lit up with embarrassment.

"Now, let us dine. The table will not be held forever."

The pair made it off the campus grounds and entered the city proper. The city, like usual, had plenty of ponies going about their business, with stalls having held in long past when they should have, customers on their way home from a long day of nothing of import.

Luna took the front as they pushed through the ponies, guiding Ruby towards the restaurant that she had picked out.

The restaurant, 'Behind the Red Door', was a little establishment which sat out of view from the main street. The front had various flowerpots laid outside with a multitude of blooming fruits, flowers and other greenery.

Behind them sat the wall that looked like it was hoof-placed with different sized of grey slate. Two windows flanked the closed door, letting the pair see the warm glow of candles, as well as the various ponies already inside.

While the restaurant wasn't high-class, Luna did find it rather difficult to book, having to bribe the pony to let them in under a pseudonym.

Walking up to the front, Luna reached out with her magic and opened the door, bowing ever so slightly and gesturing. "Please."

Ruby's cheeks darkened as she giggled, then entered. Her hips swished slightly more while Luna was behind her, eager to tease the Princess.

Luna found her eyes straying dangerously close to Ruby’s rear as she entered. She found herself thankful for her dark coat that hid the blush from Ruby. Unfortunately, the pony that everypony else could see didn’t hide anything!

The pair made it inside, with Ruby being stopped by the maître d' and Luna falling next to her.

“Ma’am,” he greeted, nodding slightly at Ruby. “Your name?” The maître d' started to turn the pages in his book.

Luna moved up and smiled. “The name is under Nocturnis, sir,” she said, glancing to Ruby, then back at the Maître d’. “Apologies if we are late. It’s hard to not get lost in our date’s beauty.”

Ruby’s cheeks exploded with red upon hearing that and she looked down, giving the floor a little scuff with her hoof. She could feel her mouth grow dry from her nerves, even through the spell’s effect.

“Ah, yes,” the stallion said, closing the book. “We have you at the,” he paused and glanced between the two ponies, “princess’s table.” With some hesitation, he took a step back in thought. “If you’ll give me a second to check something with my manager.”

The stallion trotted off around the corner and left the pair in the entrance-way. Thankfully for them, the entrance was slightly obscured from the main dining area, though they could see through a few windows to ponies eating at the far end.

The entrance was well decorated with traditional oak floors and walls that featured wallpaper which Luna was sure the palace also had on their walls.

Luna leaned over and nuzzled Ruby’s ear, eliciting a cute squeak from her. “How are you holding up, pet?” she teased while giving Ruby’s ear a nibble. “That spell doesn’t seem to be working, does it?”

Ruby shivered and nibbled on her bottom lip. “You monster,” she mumbled, her flush spreading as she leaned closer.

Luna let out a small chuckle and simply laid and invisible, to other ponies, wing over Ruby’s back . “I hope for us to enjoy this. It’s been such a long time since I’ve been on one.”

Ruby nodded and brought a smile up for Luna to see. “So do I, Lu-“ she stopped herself, “Sweet.”

The Maître d’ returned with another stallion in tow. The stallion, while a little heavy set, wore a half suit and began to look through the book, before turning to the pair. “Hi there, and welcome to Behind the Red Door. Quick Shot here says you are under the name of Nocturnis? We usually reserve that table for Celes-“ he stopped himself. “The Princesses. Are you sure you have the right name?”

Luna stared at the stallion, feeling her annoyance rise more for the imagined mistake than him forgetting there were two princesses. “Sir-“ she began looking for his name.

“Money Bags”

“Sir Bags, I did indeed create that reservation. I have Princess Luna’s express permission to d-“

“Unfortunately, Princess Luna isn’t here to back your story up. We cannot simply give that table away to anypony who claims such a thing, now can we.”

Ruby glanced between the two and leaned against Luna, seeing her frown. “It’s okay,” she muttered. “We can find something else to do. We don’t need to eat here.”

Luna let out a huff as she felt her date press against her. Shaking her head, she cast her chameleon spell, still aiming to keep the disguise up for everypony except Ruby, and now Money Bags.

The stallion’s eyes widened upon seeing who was now standing in front of him! His mouth opened, but Luna’s magic kept it closed as she narrowed her eyes as her magic flared once again, linking their two minds. Please, don’t say anything. I am here on a date with my dear Ruby and took that disguise so we may dine unaccosted.

Money Bags hesitantly nodded and upon feeling Luna’s magic loosen around his mouth. “I-” he began, looking back down to the book. “We must have made a mistake, ma’am. If you’ll follow me, I will personally seat you.”

The stallion looked increasingly flustered and nervous but did as he said. He closed the book and stepped away from the desk before turning to the Maître d’. “Good work, son.”

Walking through the restaurant, Luna switched off the mental link and removed her form from the stallion’s vision, so she looked like Sweet, to him, once again.

There were a few eyes following the pair through the dining room as they walked over to the Princess’s table, even a few mutterings from various ponies near the back of the room. Most of the ponies seated were upper-class and Luna knew a few of them personally, mostly from holding court.

“Here we are,” Money Bags said, gesturing to the finely decorated table. It held all of the regular cutlery, as well as a single red rose in the center, being held by a fine vase.

Luna used her magic to smoothly pull out Ruby’s chair and then her own, only taking her seat once Ruby had done so. She turned to Money and smiled. “Thank you for being so understanding.”

“Oh, of course. If we had some notice, we could have been much more accommodating.”

“That’s quite alright, sir.”

The stallion went for a bow, but opted to only a nod, then rushed off. This left Luna and Ruby alone, with both of them sitting there rather awkwardly.

“So, uh,” Ruby began, glancing towards Luna, then back down at the table. “We’re on a date.”

The thumping in her chest had died down, leaving the mare able to truly notice the gravity of the situation she was in. She was on a date, with a princess!

“It would appear so,” Luna replied. “I do not have much experience with dating, especially in this modern age. My sister said to go out to nightclubs to find somepony, but it only ended up with, you know.”

Ruby gave a nod in reply. “That was my first time going to a nightclub. But I’m so glad I listened to my flatmate. Otherwise I wouldn’t have met you and that would be the worst thing ever!”

Despite the raging blush over Ruby’s cheeks, she held the gaze with a wide smile.

“I must say that I agree with that,” Luna said. “I have not been able to think of much else since that night. I think it would be safe to say that you have thoroughly captured my heart.”

Ruby simply stared over at Luna in disbelief. She knew that Luna liked her, but to hear it being said like this was almost overwhelming. Silently, her horn glowed, and she pulled her gift out from under the table, letting it drift over to Luna’s side before being placed down.

“I, um, heard that gifts were normal on dates,” she mumbled, now with a look of embarrassment slowly appearing on her face as the ruby heart glowed in time with her own. “If I captured your heart, then it’s only right you have mine, Luna.” She was immensely thankful to have Cinnamon’s spell over her, otherwise she’s be a blubbering mess.

Luna’s gaze was focused on the crystal that was quickly beating on the table. “Ruby…” she mumbled, moving her gaze up as she levitated and unclipped the chain.

She deftly wrapped the necklace around her neck and clipped it back up, letting it settle within her chest floof, before she held it and closed her eyes. With a purr, Luna held the heart, her smile widening with genuine happiness.

Opening her eyes, she stared across the table, her thoughts flashing through her mind faster and faster. “Ruby,” she mumbled, “this…”

Luna didn’t know what to say as she looked over at her date, her hooved clutching the crystal. She felt like she would crack it by virtue of simply holding.

Ruby couldn’t help but let out a twinkle of a giggle as she leaned forwards on the table. “Do, uh, you like it?” she asked, fluttering her lashes. She looks beautiful

The Princess blinked as she had realised her was simply staring at Ruby. “Yes… I, wow. I’m speechless. That’s new.” She let out a chuckle and nodded quickly. “I love it!”

Suddenly, the pair jumped as a waitress wandered up and placed two menus in front of them with a cheery smile. “I’ll be back in a short while to take your orders!” she said, trotting away.

The pair simply looked back at each other and let out their laughter. The mood had been ruined, yet they felt more relaxed, with Luna leaning on the table and Ruby finding herself at ease with being in Luna’s presence if the heart’s slow beat was any indication.

“So,” Ruby began, “uh, that night?”

Luna blinked, not expecting that at all. “What about it?” she asked, now unsure.

“It was nice, “ Ruby said, smiling as her cheeks darken. Quickly, she pulls the menu open and hides herself. “I have some questions though?” Ruby wasn’t sure how to ask, but after looking over the menu for a few seconds, she let it fall to the table to look at Luna. “Are, are you experienced with all that stuff?”

Luna found this question rather strange and sat there, obviously in thought about how to answer. “I, It’s nice,” was all she could reply with, looking around, rather embarrassed. “It’s all I’ve really done, you know? Ponies, even back before my,” she took a second to sigh, “departure, expected me to be like that. All dominating and stuff. Would you, maybe, do it for me?”

Ruby did a double-take as she heard that. “You, uh, want me to dominate you?” she asked in a hushed whisper while leaning in. Ruby wouldn’t have even thought about it normally, but the feeling of possibly ordering the Princess about was growing rather enticing now that she thought about it.

Luna hid behind her own menu now, her horn poking over the top. “Maybe,” she muttered; her voice squeaky.

Ruby’s magic took hold of the top of the menu and gently pulled it down so Luna could see her. She knew the spell cast on her was helping her with this, but she wasn’t feeling any more nervous about asking this. “Yes or no, Luna.”

Even Ruby saw the flush on the Princess’s cheeks at that question. It was a feeling that she had long forgotten, and she gladly let it flow over her. With a quick nod, she answered, “Yes.”

“Then,” Ruby giggled, “you’ll have to teach me. That was my first time and while I remember some, most of that night was a blur. A blur I enjoyed, but still.”

“Okay,” Luna mumbled, quickly throwing the menu up in awkwardness.

“Now, what are you ordering?” Ruby asked, gazing over at the horn that still poked over the top of Luna’s menu. Gosh, she’s so cute…

***

The pair stumbled out of the restaurant, both in a fit of giggles as the other patrons gawk at them out of the windows. It had been two hours into their meal and Luna forgot to renew her chameleon spell. As they expected, chaos ensued, and the pair were forced to leave the restaurant!

Laughing and cantering away from the mess they had caused, they eventually stopped two blocks away. They leaned against the wall and panted, still letting out small gasps and laughs.

“Wow!” Luna giggled, then pushed off the wall. “I can’t believe they did that!”

Ruby grinned as she moved over and snuggled up against Luna. “Mmm, yeah,” she purred, nuzzling against Luna’s neck.

The crystal was, despite the situation, beating slowly nestled against Luna’s floof.

“Shall we go?” Luna asked as her wing wrapped around Ruby and held her close to her warmth in the cold Canterlot winter.

With a nod, Ruby and Luna began the trek back to the castle, and subsequently, Luna's bedroom. The night was getting rather chilly for the pair and even Luna's alicorn physiology wasn't helping very much. Ruby was failing slightly better, what with her date's fluffy wing wrapped around her but her teeth were still beginning to chatter.

Thankfully, Luna had picked a place that wasn't too far from the castle and it only took five minutes to walk back. As they neared, the sight of the guards, wrapped up warm, with woolen booties and scarfs greeted them.

The guards looked confused at the sight of the Princess hugging a random pony in the middle of winter, but were trained well enough not to question her on it. Instead, they simply opened the gate for them to enter and closed it afterwards.

The pair continued on their way into the warmth of the castle.once inside, they clip-clopped on the marble floor to get the snow off their hooves and stretched.

"Ah! That's much better!" Ruby groaned, cantering on the spot. "So warm!"

Luna giggled at the sigh and stretched her wings out to get blood flowing again. "it is nice to be back, but shall we continue on?" she said, gesturing onwards.

"Oh, right."

They walked through the castle hallways, politely greeting the maids and soldiers who wandered about. Suddenly, Luna pulled Ruby down a side passage, pushing her up against the wall.

"Ow! What's going on?" Ruby asked, looking concerned as she felt Luna's mass press against herself.

Luna leaned out from their cover and sighed upon seeing the coast was clear. "My sister could have se-"

NSFW starts here *** NSFW starts here

Leaning back in, she was met with Ruby's lips pressing against her own and front legs sliding up to wrap around her neck. Luna tensed up for a second, before her eyes fluttered closed and she melted into the kiss. One of her legs moved under her marefriend to hold her by the barrel.

Luna felt Ruby's tongue press against her lips to ask for permission and she gladly gave it. Her tongue fought Ruby's own for dominance, but she felt herself letting out a lustful moan while her wings ruffled on her sides.

Ruby pulled away after a generous battle, her steamy breath washing over Luna's face as a line of saliva connected the two. Ruby brushed her hoof through Luna's hair and began to pepper her mare's neck with kisses and nuzzles. "You're so beautiful, Luna," she whispered, receiving gasps and shudders from the quick nips and licks she gave. "Will you teach me what you want? I wish to please you."

Luna felt herself quiver as those words reached her ears. Pulling back, she bit her lower lip and nodded instantly. "Of course," she said, her cheeks many times darker, "Mistress."

Ruby could feel that rush hit her, and she leaned up to kiss the mare once more. This one lasted only a couple of seconds then she pulled back, the lingering scent of arousal heavy in the air. "Take me to your bedroom, Luna," Ruby ordered, cuddling close and nipping her shoulder.

Luna flared her horn and with a quick flash and a pop, the pair were gone. They reappeared inside Luna's bedroom, the smell of ozone dispersing as Luna's horn crackled with magical energy.

Ruby shook her head as she took in the magnificent room once again, then turned to Luna. "So, uh, how do we start?" she asked, eager to learn to better please her lover.

Luna quickly found herself nuzzling through Ruby's mane as she inhaled her scent, losing herself ever so slightly. "Mmm, the first rule is to always have a safe word," she cooed. Despite her entire being arguing with herself, she pulled back. "I trust you, Ruby. A safe word if there so I can tell you if I feel uncomfortable, understand?" Luna said, gently placing a hoof under Ruby's chin. "Watermelon is my go-to for others, so I guess I'll use that."

Ruby took this in and nodded. "Watermelon, sounds good!” she giggled, tilting her head and leaning into the Luna’s hoof.

The Princess simply gazed down with a warm, loving smile as she held her hoof there, enjoying the feeling of Ruby showing her affection. “Now, Ruby… I give myself to you. In body and trust,” she stated, pulling her hoof back and bowing.

Luna’s horn glowed and a horn-ring levitated out of her vanity desk’s drawer. She placed it down in front of Ruby and gazed up at her new owner.

“Lock this on my horn and I am yours, Mistress.”

Ruby’s own horn picked up the ring and held it in front of herself, suspended in her magical field. The ring was etched with various runes of binding and suppression, obviously made to suppress a unicorns or, in this case, Alicorns, magic. She slipped it on Luna’s horn and let it drift down until it touched the base. Rotating it until she heard a pop, Ruby heard Luna gasp and saw her shiver.

“Thank you, my pet,” Ruby whispered, brushing her hoof over Luna’s cheek as she leaned down and pressed her lips to the mare’s other cheek. She felt the rush of control hit her and nuzzled Luna's cheek, inhaling the sweet musk of her mare's arousal.

Luna leaned into it and let out a soft mewl, her smile widening. "Anything for you, mistress," she purred, fluttering her wings and pulling up to her full height.

Despite the mare's imposing height, Ruby softly placed a hoof against her chest and eased her back until Luna's rump pressed against the plush bed. Her own smile slowly morphed into a smirk as she gathered her magic and thrust it forward, buffeting Luna onto her back!

The bed creaked as it took Luna's weight, then squeaked once more as Ruby climbed up to stand over the stop of the Alicorn, gazing down at her as Luna began to shrink back. With a growl, she sat down and pressed her already wet pussy against Luna's stomach, rubbing it against her!

Leaning down, Ruby's horn flared once again, arcs of magic crackling up and down her horn. Luna let out a gasp as her owner's magic wrapped around her hooves, pulling them spread eagle. Ruby's magic then flowed down her own body and cascaded over Luna with a tingle, before reforming around the Princess's aching cunt!

"You, ah," she whispered, closing her eyes, "You're more forceful than I thought you would be, mistress."

Luna squirmed beneath Ruby as she felt that magic rub and tease her. It flowed over her marehood and ass, tingling as it gripped her tightly, massaging itself into every corner of her rear. With a whimper, she could feel that the magic was slowly growing in strength, vibrating harder.

"Buck!" Luna moaned while her hips twitched and her arousal leaked out onto the sheets.

Ruby leaned down and nuzzled deep into Luna's floof, audibly inhaling her scent and shivering in delight. "mm, enjoying yourself, I see," she giggled, sliding herself back and forth, leaving Luna's stomach a wet mess.

It didn't take long for Ruby's body to shake each time she rubbed herself and she held onto Luna tight. She pushed herself off of the mare, though, and stood there panting as she stopped her own orgasm.

Luna's own snatch was dripping and twitching still, and it was driving her crazy! "Mistress! Please, I can't," she whimpered, pushing her head back and clenching her eyes shut as her fur grew damp with sweat.

Ruby, still breathing heavily, pulled her magic away from Luna's marehood and reformed it into a magical replica of a stallion's rather sizable cock!

Well, it would be sizable for Ruby, but for Luna, it was simply 'above average'. Yet, despite that, it didn't stop the mare from gasping and bucking her hips towards the construct once it pressed against her slit.

Ruby only held it there for a few seconds before beginning to slowly slide it in, her magic slowly stretching Luna's tight, silky walls out as it throbbed away.

Luna tensed up and pulled at her bonds while low moans leaked from her mouth. Her head fell back as Ruby pressed herself back against her stomach, rubbing herself once again to breaking point!

"You're so amazing, Luna!" Ruby cried, feeling as if she was in heat! Moving up, she pressed her lips to the mare's own and kissed her as passionately as she could, front legs wrapping around her neck to hold her tight!

The second her lips touched Luna's, her toy slammed into Luna's lower lips forcing its way up to its base, causing Luna to writhe and squirm as she became used to the size of that shaft. Ruby could feel every inch of her magical cock as it entered Luna's warm depths, stretching her tight walls around it!

Ruby pulled back and let out a soft mewl of pleasure and nuzzled deep against Luna's neck as her breathing picked up once again. The mare didn't want to simply come first. She wanted her first time in charge of the Princess to be special, to be memorable! So, once her shaft was inches from completely inside Luna, Ruby began to slowly slide it back out, feeling herself shake.

"Pet," Ruby purred, nipping and grinding herself against her princess, which was made easy from how damp their bodies were. She pressed her drooling folds down against Luna once again and rubbed it raw over Luna's stomach. "Ah!" she moaned, feeling her clit being brushed against by Luna's fur. "I love using you to get off."

The crystal sitting in front of Ruby was pulsing harder and harder as she drew nearer to the pleasure she so wanted! With each run, she felt herself inch closer, with each moan from Luna it spurred her on!

"Thank you, mistress!" Luna moaned, "Thank you for fuck-"

The mare's nerves burst to life and her pussy clenched down around the magic, trying to milk it for everything it had as she cried out! The magic dispersed from the sheer strength the Alicorn possessed as Luna's world flashed to white! She arched her back and came, her pussy squirting out her excitement over the sheets as she fought against her bonds!

Yet, as suddenly as her orgasm hit her, Luna was left with her tingling afterglow and a very affectionate pony on top of her.

Ruby removed the magic and let it fade away as she nuzzled and licked Luna's cheek, holding her close as her own orgasm subsided. Ruby tried to get closer to her mare, but found that she couldn't and so settled with cleaning her, unable to stop herself from showing her love!
