(Kink warning. The first bit has a scene where Lucky licks a sweaty Rarity clean. If that aint your cup of tea skip to the first page break)

Rarity dragged her hooves down the long dusty road, grumbling all the while. Behind her trundled a moderately sized cart filled to the absolute brim with gems topped by a clearly exhausted dragon. Who groaned and rubbed his bulging belly with a clawed hand.

“Rarity, I think I ate too many gems.” Spike moaned.

“Really darling. What gave it away? Was it the fact you look like you gained five pounds, or perhaps the fact that you only barely seem able to resist throwing up?” Rarity barked as she continued to struggle down the road, taking a right and going along the outside edge of her boutique.

“Augh, both.” Spike muttered, his stomach gurgle noisily.

Shaking her head, Rarity stopped once she had reached the back entrance to her boutique. “End of the line. Time to go home.” Rarity announced as she unhitched herself from the cart and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

“But what about my reward?” Spike asked as he sat up on top of the gem pile.

“You ate it all remember?” Rarity pointed out, gesturing to his stomach.

“Oh. Right.” Spike muttered, before glancing over the side of the cart and realizing how far it was to the ground. “A little help?”

Rarity sighed and lit her horn, lifting the dragon from his spot and gently placing him on the ground beside the cart. “There. Now if you will excuse me I have to bring this inside before Lucky gets off from work.”

Spike’s eyes narrowed. “Is that your secret boyfriend you’ve been so secretive about recently?”

Rarity was about to offer a retort before she stopped and really thought about the question. Though it was true there was clearly something between them, she hadn't really given it a lot of consideration before this very moment.

“I don't know.” Muttered Rarity.

Spike huffed and shook his head. “Well don't hold onto that bit of information for too long. The girls are already starting to theorycraft and I’m pretty sure Rainbow Dash was trying to start a pool the last time they got together.”

Rarity shook her head. “That mare.” The unicorn sighed. “Thank you again Spike.”

The dragon shrugged. “No problem. I haven't had any fresh gems in a while anyway. Say do you need a hand with-” Spike began, only to get cut off by Rarity.

“Thank you but no. I do not want half digested Gems all over the floor of my workshop.” Rarity exclaimed hastily.

Spike opened his mouth to offer a response of some kind only to belch loudly. “On second thought, that does sound like a good idea…”

Rarity sighed once more, and watched the dragon trundle away, a clawed hand over his mouth. Reluctantly, she turned to the veritable mountain of gems that protruded from the top of her cart and frowned. It was a lot more than she needed, the vein she had been searching having been far better than initially anticipated. It was enough to make the pony consider getting help, only to puff out her chest and snort indignantly.

“You’ve fought dragons, changelings, and gods Rarity. You can handle a little more heavy lifting.” Declared the pony proudly, only to catch a whiff of herself and wince. “And after we shall have a long soak in the tub.”

Rolling her neck, the pony nodded and set her shoulders. “Right. I’ve got this.”


“I so didn't have that.” She muttered before falling face first into her fainting couch.

The small touch of panic she would usually feel when getting her fainting couch dirty with sweat and dust was gone, washed away by sheer exhaustion. She simply couldn't muster the energy necessary to care about the fact that she would have to give the peice of furniture a deep clean in the near future. She couldn't even bring herself to care that she stunk to high heaven, but it was nice to know that her job was done, the cart was empty, and her gems were filed away, ready to be grabbed when she needed them.

She had even completed the entire job early, the afternoon sun hanging low in the sky and illuminated the workshop in long slats of light. There was no sound save for Rarity’s labored breathing, the pony slowly catching her breathe as she lay there, too tired to even move.

The sound of the front door opening alerted Rarity to the fact that she was no longer alone.

“Rarity, are you back yet?” Shouted a very familiar, very feminine voice.

Rarity sighed and turned her head. “I’m in the workshop darling!” Rarity shouted.

The way his hooves tapped across the floor made Rarity smile, his happiness coming out in the way he moved. In no time at all the workshop door opened, and a grinning stallion came to a screeching halt.

“Oh my gosh, are you okay?” Shouted Lucky Doo as he sprinted over to the exhausted mare, falling to his knees when he reached her.

“I’m fine. Just exhausted.” Rarity all but whispered. “Spike got sick and couldn't help me pull the cart back.”

“How rude.” Lucky Doo lamented.

The unicorn shrugged. “It wasn't his fault.” She murmured, only to frown. “Okay so it was his fault. But I forgive him anyway. The poor dear doesn't often get the chance to enjoy a nice fresh gems after all.”

“Still. That's no reason to leave you hanging like that.” Exclaimed Lucky Doo who placed a hoof on the mare’s shoulder. “Do you need anything?”

Rarity paused. “Some water would be nice.”

“One cup of ice cold water coming right up.” Lucky proclaimed before all but sprinting out of the room.

Smiling to herself, Rarity watched as the stallion ran off to fulfill her request, not wasting so much as a second to do so.

What an absolute sweetheart. Rarity thought to herself. I really should do something for him. Perhaps a gift, or maybe a date.

Rarity didn't have long to think about it, as the other pony returned as quickly as he left, a large glass of water in hoof. “Here you are miss Rarity.” He proclaimed, the straw maned stallion all but shoving the ice cold glass into her waiting hoof.

“Thank you darling.” Replied Rarity, who pushed herself up just enough to ensure she didn't choke before chugging the entire glass of water in a matter of seconds. “Ahh, that was wonderful.”

“Should I get more?” Lucky asked hesitantly.

Rarity shook her head and rested her head against the arm rest once more. “No that's quite alright thank you. I should be able to get up in a few minutes. I just need to catch my breathe is all.”

“Your not uncomfortable at all?” Lucky Doo asked, as he looked over the mare’s sweat stained body and matted fur. “I could grab a fan or something.”

“Don't bother. I’m far too gross to be able to benefit from a fan, or anything else short of a bath.” Rarity chuckled mirthlessly. “And that's not something I can do right now.”

“Well…” Lucky Doo began, looking down at his hooves nervously. “I could help you in another way. If you want that is.”

Rarity raised an eyebrow. “And how exactly would you do that?”

“Well you remember how I got all that cum off you?” Lucky Doo muttered awkwardly.

Rarity’s eyebrow remained raised for a few seconds before she blinked in shock. “You mean to say you want to lick me clean?”

“I mean, if you want.” Lucky Doo all but whispered.

“I suppose. But don't expect me to be able to focus, I’m rather tired.” Rarity exclaimed.

“Don't worry miss Rarity. I’ll make sure you feel good.” Lucky Doo proclaimed.

Rarity waved her hoof dismissively before laying back down, face first into the cushion she had grabbed for herself.

Not wasting any time, Lucky Doo leaned down and began to get to work, licking every square inch of the mare. Something he had gotten good at considering he had done something similar for Applejack on a few occasions, nevermind the time he had cleaned Rarity up. Utilizing those same tactics wasn't a stretch for the pony, who dutifully got to work, not complaining one bit as he did so.

The nature of serving Rarity in such a debasing manner made a primal thrill run up his spine, and he started as he did the last time, with her hooves. Cleaning them of sweat didn't take long, his desire to serve and to make Rarity comfortable pushing him to move faster than he would have liked to. Rather then fight it, he leaned into it, knowing that the pony likely just wanted this entire thing to be over with.

Going up her legs, Lucky Doo stopped occasionally, making sure he gave the mare the attention she required. Fur was cleansed, sweat removed and swallowed, and the pony continued on, never stopping for long. Throughout it all, Lucky Doo wore a smile on his face, more than happy to do something for his lover, especially something so debased.

Rarity herself hardly seemed to notice, the pony so tired and out of it that Lucky Doo could only hear the occasional grunt from her. Which was fine, what little he did hear being more then enough to tell him that she was enjoying herself at least a little. Something Lucky Doo knew would change once she got a little more energy, as she was bound to be quite back up.

Something that was proven true when he had worked his way up her legs and noticed just how full and heavy her balls were. So hypnotizing were those heavy, pungent orbs that Lucky Doo had to force himself to look away and go back up her other leg. He knew that the second he got to cleaning those massive balls of Rarity’s that his mind would fall even more into the gutter. Which would also lead to the pony being utterly consumed with her cock and balls, two parts of her that he thought of constantly, even while they didn't smell this good.

Hastily he moved up her other leg, doing as best a job he could while also moving a little quicker, eager to get to her privates. Which proved utterly intoxicating to the pony, who noticed that the mare was now hard, her cock twitching against the couch. The male’s mouth watered and he quickly finished what he was doing before moving to her cock and licking it as much as he dared.

That made the pony twitch, and a small moan escaped her lips, making Lucky Doo grin before diving right back in. He wasn't sure if she enjoyed his other attention, but if there was one thing Rarity loved it was having Lucky Doo’s mouth on her dick. Something he made sure to do plenty of, licking up and down her length repeatedly, breaking occasionally to wrap his mouth around it as best he could. After cleaning every last inch of the mare’s titanic cock, he moved up, reaching her balls and immediately popping them into his mouth.

It was difficult given just how big they were, but Lucky had done this enough times that he knew the routine. Once inside his mouth, he felt Rarity shudder, and her balls twitched, as if readying more seed for him. He liked to imagine that he was helping to build up more, which would inevitably get pumped into him the moment Rarity gained a second wind.

He didn't let those thoughts distract him though, and he ran his tongue all across her balls, ensuring they were cleansed as much as possible before releasing them. Something that was easier said than done given that they felt as though they had grown slightly during their stay in his mouth. Reluctantly, he gave them one final lick before moving up her body, and to her ass, which was another place he lingered.

Her pillowy butt was everything the stallion wanted for himself, though that envy had ebbed slightly when he realized he had added some plush to his tush recently. Still, it was enchanting enough that Lucky Doo lingered there for several minutes, cleaning her with his tongue. When finally he moved on, he focused next on her back, speeding up slightly in order to not tickle the pony too much.

By then Rarity seemed at least a little into it, her occasional moans becoming a little louder, and more pronounced than before. Those grunts and sounds of joy were enough to make Lucky Doo grin, sure that he was doing something she enjoyed at least a little. Spurred on by this news, Lucky Doo continued outwards, going from the center of her back outwards. When he finally moved on, her legs, privates, and back were utterly clean all the way up to her neck.

Knowing what was next, Lucky Doo moved down her outstretched hooves, starting at her sweaty pits before going lower. The smell was most poignant near those points, but Lucky Doo refused to stop there, he had a job to do after all. One that he wasn't about to abandon now that he was so close to completing it.

Traveling down, Lucky Doo kept licking away, cleansing the mare’s legs of sweat and grime as he did so. The only point he lingered at was the mare’s hooves which he made to thoroughly lick, as he knew how much she enjoyed having clean hooves. It was with that thought in mind that he moved swiftly to the otherside, licking her clean and hastily going down her other leg. It was a little faster than he’d like, but it felt important for whatever reason that he finish quickly.

After all, Rarity was already hard a minute ago, and by now she must be just itching to fuck him. Or at least, that's what Lucky Doo had concluded given what he knew of the pony.

Pulling back, Lucky Doo wiped his lips and smiled. “There.” He declared. “How do you feel?”

“Better.” Rarity muttered, before rolling onto her side. “And hungry. But first I think a proper shower is in order for both of us.”

“Oh but I’m not-” Lucky Do began before Rarity teleported into a standing position and wrapping her hooves around him, pressing her still sweaty chest against him.

“Now you are.” Rarity declared with a smirk. “Come now darling, let us get clean together. After that we can get dirty together once more.”

“Yes miss Rarity!” Lucky Doo shouted excitedly.


The pounding water felt wonderful to both ponies, and during their length shower session, Rarity slowly regained her energy, the pony revitalized by the cool water, and her fragrant shampoos. Her hooves were currently rubbing a bit of shampoo into Lucky Doo’s mane while her hips thrust forward and then back, fucking the male’s ass while she shampooed him. Her pace was slow, her mind elsewhere as she carefully applied more of the liquid to her hoof before adding it to the mound of bubbles atop Lucky Doo’s head.

“M-miss Rarity is something wrong?” Lucky Doo asked, the pony bracing himself against the wall of the shower as he asked his question.

Rarity sighed and shook her head even as she continued to plow the male. “No, just thinking about something.”

“Oh, like what? If you d-don't mind me asking?” Lucky Doo inquired in between moans.

Rarity bit her lip, hesitant to give voice to the warring thoughts in her mind. Thoughts that were consumed by Lucky Doo, and what to do about her growing feelings for the stallion. On the one hoof, she did like him, undeniably so, his servile nature making him feel more like a princess then any stallion had ever done before. On the other hoof, she couldn't seem to bring herself to announce this aloud, some part of the female struggling to break that particular cultural expectation that the male be the first to announce their intentions.

“It's nothing darling, eyes down. Here comes the water.” Rarity declared, before thrusting forward, and stopping when she was balls deep, her magic grabbing the shower head and turning it on Lucky Doo.

Who dutifully looked down, as his legs trembled, a weak orgasm spilling against the shower floor and instantly being washed away.


Rarity hummed as she flipped through a magazine, her gaze lingering over the articles and pictures without really paying attention to either of them. Her mind was adrift still, and despite how good it felt to sit in bed with a magazine in hoof, and a pair of lips wrapped around her cock, she couldn't truly relax. After all, she had yet to muster the confidence necessary to broach the subject she had begun thinking about nearly an hour ago.

Lucky Doo gasped, as he pulled back, Rarity’s thick head popping audibly from his mouth. “Are you sure there's nothing wrong Rarity? Your awful tense today.” He exclaimed, his hooves continuing to move, and stroke Rarity’s cock even as he spoke.

The fashionista sighed and caressed the stallion’s cheek, abandoning her magazine in order to look the male in the eye. “Darling, I like you.” Rarity announced suddenly, shocked at her own sudden burst of confidence.

Lucky Doo blinked, and blushed. “I like you too miss Rarity.”

“No. I like, like you. I want you to by boyfriend.” Rarity declared, gripping the male’s chin and forcing their eyes to meet.

“I… oh wow.” Lucky Doo muttered, his hooves falling still.

Rarity cleared her throat. “So, Lucky Doo. Would you be mine?”

“Of course!” Exclaimed the pegasus, who leapt into Rarity’s open hooves.

Rarity squeezed him back, smiling from ear to ear as she planted a light kiss on his lips, followed by a second, and a third before they fell into one another. Lips met, a kiss was deepened, and two made out for several minutes before reluctantly parting once more.

“What brought that on, if you um, don't mind me asking?” Lucky Doo asked nervously, the male resting his head on Rarity’s chest.

“I’ve been thinking about it quite a bit lately, especially today and well…” Rarity sighed, and smiled faintly as her hoof caressed the back of his head. “Lets just say I’ve read enough romance novels to know how poorly things go when one is not honest with their feelings.”

Lucky Doo smiled. “Thank goodness. I would have never been able to ask you out…”

The unicorn snickered, and planted a light kiss on the male’s forehead. “I assumed as much.”

A long, comfortable moment of silence hung over the pair before Lucky Doo reluctantly broke it.

“So, what now?” He asked, looking up at Rarity.

“Your going to finish what you started and suck my dick.” Rarity announced with a wolfish smirk. “After that you and I are going on a date. A real one this time.”

“Yes ma’am!” Lucky Doo declared before slipping back down between the other pony’s legs, hastily swallowing the mare’s length and bobbing up and down on her cock.

Rarity meanwhile just lay there, a smile on her face, that was until she remembered that she still hadn't made an appointment to rid herself of her new equipment. It had been easy too, Twilight even going so far as to offer casting the dispel herself, whenever Rarity had time. But the newly endowed mare had always been busy, and something told her she was going to keep being busy.

For a long, long time.
