Author's Note

This chapter was a bit long so I split it into two parts. I'll be posting the second part in a few days or when it's done whichever comes first. I hope everypony is staying clean, healthy, and virus free.

Chapter Five: Hearth’s Warming Part 1

Hearth’s Warming. One of Equestria’s most beloved holidays. And wouldn’t you believe that I forgot about it? Completely forgot about it. Hey, don’t judge I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. It wasn’t until about four days before that Tia even brought up the subject. And she giggled at me when my paw hit my face. It was evident immediately that I’d forgotten about it, but thank goodness she forgave me. I spent one whole day simply thinking about what to give everypony. I don’t think that I could give Rainbow anything because she’s already got the best present she could ever hope for. And the show in Ponyville went off perfectly with Scootaloo having stars in her eyes for her adoptive big sister. And for once, it went better than it did in the show. Twilight was easy. I just asked for Tia to grant her access to Canterlot Library’s oldest books and tomes in the protected section within the restricted section. Pinkie was a hard one. I wasn’t sure what to give to her. For Rarity, I invited Fancy and Fleur for her to speak to and to give her a brand new top-of-the-line sewing machine. AJ is especially difficult. Before remembering all the little things that needed to be done around the place. So, hiring a local carpenter to help with them was perfect. Then there was Fluttershy slash Flutterbat. The only thing that came to mind was to give her a card stating that the pet sanctuary she had in mind would be funded by me, so at least she wouldn’t have to worry about funding.

Nightmare was easy. I’d let her out. Whether it would be permanent or temporary would depend on her. Tia said she didn’t want anything because she’s already got the best present. No, it’s not me. It was little Solar. Luna pretty much said the same thing. The crusaders were easy. I’d simply tell them that they could order anything they wanted from the royal kitchen. Of course, I’ll make it clear that they can order anything, not that they can go into the kitchen.

So, where was I right now? It was very early morning, like two a.m., on Hearth’s Warming Eve. Luna and I were in her room where I was about to ask her about letting Nightmare Moon out.

“Good evening, my Luna, my Nightmare,” I greeted happily after walking in and shutting the door behind me.

She stretched herself out, like a cat would, on the bed before setting down again, “Good eve, my Emmit.”

I got up onto the bed and laid down next to her, “Looks like night court was canceled to the holidays?”

She nodded before snuggling up to me and laying her head on the pillow next to mine. “Yes,” she sighed contently while smiling at me, “I’ve been awake, just being lazy.”

I kissed her lightly, “Nothing wrong with that. I have an idea of what I can give Nightmare Moon.”

Luna looked curious. “Really? And what is that?”

“Easy, I let her out,” was my smirking response.

Her first reaction was to giggle, nearly laughing, at me. But when I didn’t say anything and just continued to look at her, she blinked at me a couple of times before giving me an incredulous “Are you serious?” look. I nodded slowly at her. Luna’s face showed pure shock as she blinked at me a few times with her mouth acting like a fish out of water.

“Look, Luna,” I began explaining to her, “she’s come a long way since we started talking to her. She even talked with Tia peacefully. And personally, I think she should be rewarded. Now, whether or not it’s permanent is up to her. I can always put her back in. And it’s not like you, me, and her won’t discuss it before I do let her out.”

After a couple of minutes of thought, she looked at me with an unsure look on her face. “Alright, let’s go inside and speak to her about it. I’m sure it’s clear that she’ll want it because I know what it’s like to be trapped for soo long. But I’m still wary.”

“I know,” I said gently, “and I know that it’s a big step for you as well. Talking to her through me while deep inside your head is one thing. But now, it’ll be side by side.”

“Yes,” her voice held uncertainty in it as she nodded to me. We jumped down from the bed and stood some feet away. Then locked her eyes with mine, so we could journey into the deep recesses of her mind.

After inside, we spotted Nightmare laying on the bed and looking up at the fake sky above. I gave her the ability to change the scenery at will, so right now she was playing with the stars on the ceiling. Luckily the bed was the same, and in the same place, here in the illusion as was in the real world. So, jumping up into the bed and laying next to her was easy, “Good evening, my Nightmare.”

Nightmare didn’t do anything, nor even look over at me while she put the finishing touches on Orion. She just simply hummed, acknowledging that I was there.

“We are here to speak to you about something,” Luna said to her as she positioned herself on the other side of the bed from me. Still standing, she looked down at Nightmare.

“And what is that?” Nightmare asked with a bored expression and tone of voice.

“Well, it’s about two in the morning on Hearth’s Warming Eve, so I thought about giving you a little something.” I waited for her response eagerly with a growing smirk on my face.

She rolled her eyes at me before giving me a sideways glance, “And what could you give me?”

“Freedom,” Luna said, which was a little surprising. I thought she would let me do all the talking.

Nightmare stopped, then blinked once, before slowly looking over to Luna to see if she actually heard her right. When Luna simply looked at her, she turned toward me. I told her, “We’re thinking about letting you out for your Hearth’s Warming present.” She blinked slowly at me as if she wasn’t believing what she was hearing. “However,” I cautioned her with a firm look, “whether or not that’s permanent depends on you and how good you are. I always have the means to put you back.” After I said that she kept looking between us as if waiting for the punchline.

“Truly?” she asked us, still with a mixed look between caution and eagerness. She wanted to believe it but it also sounded too good to be true.

“Yes, truly,” I told her now with a smile. “However, as I said, if you agree to this it could be permanent. But that depends on you.”

She looked at me with so much hope written on her face. “I really don’t know what to say.”

“At first, I thought he was kidding,” Luna said to her while looking over at me. “But if you are willing to try to live together, then so am I.”

Nightmare looked over at Luna, “It would be nice to be out once again. I’ve been imprisoned for such a long time. But which one of us would be in control? How does that work?”

“I will let you have control at first,” Luna relented to her.

“It’s night out right now,” I said to her and gauging her reactions, “and to show you mean well, you could lower the moon to make way for the day. We all could watch the sunrise together. And then watch the sunset later.”

“I haven’t lowered the moon in a long time,” Nightmare voiced wistfully in thought.

“Then…,” Luna paused as if unsure about what she was going to say, “we could do it together.”

Nightmare laid her head back down onto the pillow and looked up at the fake stars above her. She looked deep in thought. Until a few minutes later. “For the first time, in all I’ve known, I’ve started to feel the anger start to wane for what our sister did. I’ve also thought about, how wrong I was about our night sky and its true purpose.”

“Lowering the moon together would be turning over a new leaf, as the new saying goes,” Luna said to her sounding like she really wanted to start anew.

“It would, yes,” Nightmare agreed, then sat up in the bed and turned toward me. “Very well, I will be a good girl and not cause trouble.”

Getting down from the bed, I faced her, “Alrighty then, let’s have a night on the town then.” Using the ability that was given to me I released Nightmare from her imprisonment within Luna’s mind. A bright flash later I was back in the real world, standing on the bed while looking at Luna, or now Nightmare Moon, right by the bed. Luna’s body had changed into Nightmare Moon. I got down from her bed to stand in front of her as her eyes blinked a few times. Then rolled her eyes at me with a slight scowl on her face.

“Too bright,” she complained to me before using her magic to change my color to completely black. “Better,” she smiled while looking me over. “I especially like the shadow flames coming from your eyes.”

I didn’t say anything. Just smiled at her. Nothing wrong with changing my color. “Shall we take a stroll then?”

Without saying a word she turned and walked toward the door. I followed her out the door and started walking beside her with a couple of tails over her like with Luna. She didn’t complain or resist my tails either, which was a good sign. Not one guard complained as we walked through the castle and into the gardens.

The first thing she did after walking out, was stop at the foot of the steps to look up at the night sky. We stayed standing there while she gazed up at the night sky. Patiently, I waited. All this was her reward anyway.

“Anyplace you would like to go first?” I asked softly.

“I’ve only seen the new castle through Luna’s eyes,” she began to walk into the garden and look around. “Seeing it for myself is so different than the one we grew up in by Ponyville. Our fight with sister was there, where we...er...I, Nightmare Moon, was trapped by Twilight and the Elements.” We walked side by side on the way to the fountain in the center. “I remember fighting with my sister before she banished us to the moon. My anger was so great then, our anger.” She sighed, stopping at the founding to gaze into it as if scrying for something.

“I know you said that one conversation can’t forgive past grievances,” I put my tails around her again as we talked by the fountain. “And you’d be right. But I’m happy that your anger is waning. Perhaps we could see who is out and about tonight? Maybe ask them how they feel about your night sky?”

She leaned her head over the water taking a good look at herself. “For the first time in a long time, I truly feel my anger fading. And I am beginning to realize that part of it is my fault as well. Not realizing what my night is truly for. Asking them about my night is probably what I should have done before.”

“Then perhaps going to Canterlot’s Bar, where Luna and I went before would prove useful?” I asked with a smirk. “It was karaoke night and our friends Fancy Pants and Fleur were there. You could talk to them.”

“Very well,” she said after a couple of minutes of thought, “let us go to this Canterlot’s Bar.”

^_^

All the way there she didn’t complain that my tails were around her or that she was nearly walking up against me the whole time. I was thankful for one thing. That Equestria doesn’t have any cars otherwise both of us could possibly get run over because we blended into the night. She talked some as we walked but not all that much. So, I simply enjoyed her presence with her body occasionally bumping and rubbing up against mine.

Until Canterlot’s Bar came into view. The lights were still on, so it was still open. But not many ponies in front anymore being soo early in the morning. The two bouncers that were out in front were two different ones than the ones I saw before. However, this time we didn’t even need to let them know who we were and just walked in. We stepped aside from the door as she took a look around.

The lighting was dimmed but there was no music on, so whoever was controlling it must be on break or something. This also meant that the dance floor was vacant and empty. The ponies that were here were either at a table talking with somepony or at the bar getting expensive drinks. I didn’t see Fancy or Fleur anywhere either. Not that it’s too surprising being soo early in the morning.

“There wasn’t any place like this in our past,” Nightmare commented softly as she looked around.

“Were you able to get images of the time Luna and I were here last?” I asked curiously as my tails pulled her against me. She didn’t resist.

She was quiet a couple of seconds before whispering, “Luna said that she would give me the memories.” That was interesting to me. How both of them were still interacting with one another. Apparently, they could talk to one another secretly and Luna could give her memories. She seemed to stare off into space for a few seconds before her face looked like she was blushing, although with the color of her fur I couldn’t tell. She then looked up at me as if she was about to burst into tears. Her face held deep appreciation in it then surprised me by lifting her head up giving me a kiss. “Thank you,” her voice was thick with emotion when she said it.

“You’re welcome,” I smiled back in return.

“With all these ponies around,” she said with her eyes scanning the room, “I am surprised that there hasn’t been a reaction to the way I look.”

“Looking like Nightmare Moon and me her minion?” she nodded in answer to my question. “Well that’s because she does this from time to time and it all started with our first Nightmare Night together looking exactly like this.”

“Ah yes, she told me about it,” she acknowledged, “but I was yet unaware of her going out like me at other times, until now.”

“You could go around and mingle,” I suggested. “Although I think that more of the upper class, so to speak, tend to come here. So, asking them what they think could give you more of a political answer than a real one.”

She seemed to think about it while looking over the crowd. “Luna said that she would help me to ‘mingle,’” she said at last then looked up at me giving me a reassuring smile. Although there was still some nervousness in it for obvious reasons. It’s the first time she’s been trying to talk to the public and not trying to subjugate them. With my butt on the floor against the wall next to the door, I watched Nightmare Moon take her first steps into society. Every step she took spoke of nervousness. However, I could also tell when Luna was helping her out as well. She would get this far away look about her. Right now it seems that Luna had suggested going to the bar, so that’s where she was headed. And I was happy right now to sit back and watch.

Nightmare saddled up to the bar between two ponies. One unicorn stallion about mid-twenties I think wearing a nice sweater with light colors. On the other side was a bulky stallion earth pony that could fit for one of the bouncers here. And could be one of them on break for all I knew. Both of them turned to look at her as the bartender came up asking what she wanted. After telling him what she wanted, which was probably Luna suggesting something, she greeted them, one then the other. It was a strained and nervous smile, which they probably noticed easily. Heck, I could from over here.

The bulky one greeted her with a bow of his head while the other one was a little more animated in his greeting. From there the conversation started. And after a couple of minutes of watching it appears that she is holding her own.

A pony couple passed me making the nearest table vacant, so I trotted on over and sat down to continue watching Nightmare talk and drink. While my eyes were on her, I didn’t notice the waitress that had trotted up to the table.

“Sire?” came a very nervous shy voice which sounded like she wasn’t even sure that I really was the king.

“Yes?” after turning my head to look at her I think she finally realizes that it really is me and has never seen me looking like this before. She looked to be a little young unicorn mare. She had a light red coat with a two-tone colored mane and a tail of pink with two stripes of a shade of lighter pink running through it. Which kind of brought out her green eyes though.

“Oh...um...would you like something to drink?” she asks hesitantly while looking between Nightmare and I.

I chuckle lightly with a friendly smile trying to ease her nerves. “Yes, please. My wife and I are being a little...dark...tonight,” had to chuckle a little at my bad joke. Though she seemed to calm down enough as she turned to me with a smile that was only a little nervous now and an “Oh.” “You have any of Captain’s Dark Rum?”

She nodded to me, “Yes, we do.”

I took a quick glance over to Nightmare to see her now focused on the younger skinnier one with the sweater as the bulky one had left. Everything seemed to be fine as they were talking away. “A glass of that if you would miss…?”

“Emerald Honeycomb, sire,” her whole demeanor simply screamed “I’m new at this” as she gave me a nervous smile.

I wanted to put her at ease. “It’s a pleasure to meet you miss Honeycomb,” I gave her my best gentleman’s demeanor. “You seem to be new at this.”

She smiled sheepishly while lightly rubbing one leg with a hoof, “Yes, sire. I just started tonight and...um...” She trailed off as if embarrassed or ashamed about something.

“What is it?” I asked gently. “It’s alright, you can tell me.”

“You won’t be angry?” it was a tone of voice like a child caught doing something wrong. I just shook my head to encourage her. “Well as the new waitress they’ve been giving me the jerks and the creeps. And...well...the rest of the girls thought you were creepy.”

I had to snicker at that. “Well this is how I look for Nightmare Night, so it’s meant to be creepy. But why don’t I help you out?”

She looked at me showing curiosity, “What do you mean?”

“Because the other girls are giving you a hard time, then why don’t I invite you to the castle by personal invitation?”

Her face slowly morphed from dire curiosity to one of pure joy, “Really, sire?”

I nodded to her, “Sure, you and your family. You have one?”

The joy left her eyes, now looking downhearted, “No, sire, I don’t. I came here in hopes of making a life for myself. At least I have a job and a place to stay.”

“Good for you, Miss Honeycomb,” I smiled at her. Then I had an idea, “Tell you what, why don’t you join us for Hearth’s Warming?”

She immediately brightened, “Really, sire?”

“Yes really.” It took her all of two seconds to come around the table and hug me breathless saying “Thank you” over and over again in my ear. And before I could even say “You’re welcome” she said that she’d get my drink and practically ran off.

As if on cue, the lights dimmed and a DJ, that I didn’t recognize, stepped up to start the music. Meanwhile, looking over at Nightmare showed her making her way over to me, with a drink in her magical grasp, while the young stallion in the sweater had apparently walked off somewhere.

“Looks like you did well on socializing,” I told her as she took a seat next to me where I pulled her against me with a couple of tails around her. She looked chipper and more sure of herself than before.

“I did, yes,” she said setting her drink down on the table, “and as per your suggestion, I asked how they felt about my night.” I motioned for her to continue with a surprise that she actually leaned against me. “He admitted that although he doesn’t pay attention to our night specifically, he did say that it is beautiful and that we do a good job.”

“Here’s your drink, sire,” Honeycomb set down my drink with her magic, now seemed happier than she did before. That made me smile at her. “Good evening, your highness,” she bowed, “I hope that you are having a good time.” Then she leans in lowering her voice looking at me again, “Thank you so much for inviting me, it really has made my night.”

I loved Nightmare’s reaction to that question. Out of the corner of my eye, she slowly turned her head toward me with a figurative huge question mark over her head. Meanwhile, I simply told her, "You're quite welcome," where she then skipped off to do her job.

I took a sip of my drink while paying attention to Nightmare looking at me with a look that simply said “well?” A smirk crept upon my face while waiting for a beat from telling her for suspense’s sake. I had to keep a chuckle from escaping when I heard her hoof tapping against the floor. “Relax,” I told her with a smirk, now looking at her, “Her name is Emerald Honeycomb. A lonely mare without a family for the holidays that is barely getting by, on her first day here, and her coworkers have been hassling her all night. Figured I’d help her a little and make her feel better.”

She seemed to accept it with a light snort before taking another sip of her drink.

“Is somepony jealous?” my voice was soft and teasing while leaning closer to her.

She didn’t say anything.

My lips met her neck for a soft gentle kiss, “Now, my Nightmare, we both know how I love you.” It was satisfying to feel her body shiver through my lips. And because she did, my kiss deepened against her neck with my tongue licking hard getting to the skin underneath her coat. By this time the lights were nearly completely out with the only bright lights on illuminating the stage. So with Nightmare Moon being dark-coated and me also being dark-coated thanks to Nightmare, we pretty much blended into the background. This is why I decided to take some liberty with my affections right now.

All she did was a huff, but I could tell that she was starting to not only relax but enjoy it. But not yet relenting, so after turning her head toward me, I kissed her deeply, passionately, with an encouraging moan into her mouth. “There’s no need,” pausing to moan into her mouth, “to be jealous,” another moan, “my Nightmare.” Now she started getting into it and returning the kiss leaning into it with a soft sigh.

Then stopped me with a hoof against my lips, “Am I your nightmare?” She asked in a teasing manner before turning her head away. Yeah, I knew that she was playing it up, but I didn’t mind because it appeared that she wanted to take it to another level.

Very well then.

Reaching up with a paw, I pulled her hoof down with a mischievous grin on my face, “You are. And I’ll prove it to you.”

^_^

(Twilight’s POV, Just after dawn)

It was Hearth’s Warming Eve and all the girls were excited about going up to Canterlot to be with Emmit for the holidays. The girls and I talked last night about waking up early to catch the first train. Plus we already had our gifts ready to present to everypony. I asked Rarity, Celestia, and Luna about mine a couple of days ago and to be honest I was nervicited about it. That would be nervous and yet excited at the same time. It’s a Pinkie Pie word. Because of how nervicited I was, Rarity wanted to redo my coiffure this morning before we left. Which meant waking up really early, so that was why my hoof just knocked on the Rarity’s door.

Rarity opened the door with a flourish, “Good morning, Twilight. Come on in and we’ll get started.” She practically pulled me in before locking the door behind her. “We’ve got just enough time, darling, and believe me we are happy to have you.”

She led me toward her back work area where she tried fitting me in a girdle the first time we met years ago. “Thank you, Rarity. I’ve been thinking about it for a while just not sure about taking the plunge, so to speak.” She sat me down in front of a large sink made to wash my mane in. Then my head took the plunge into the sink after Rarity turned on the water.

“And we are excited that you decided to join us,” she giggled while her hooves worked the water into my mane. There was a pause where she leaned in to whisper, “Trust me, darling, you won’t be sorry. Just remember to relax the first time. You prefer his human form or his fox form?”

My face was flushed just from thinking about both of his forms. Luckily she couldn’t see my face as it was buried in the washing sink. “I think I’m partial to his human form.”

“Oh yes, his hands are marvelous,” Rarity cooed, speaking from experience while continuing washing my mane. “However, there is a benefit to his fox form. Especially in his darker coloring.” I really didn’t know what to say about that. And I think I understood what she meant. “Have you ever had predator fantasies, Twilight? Dreaming about being chased by a strong and handsome dangerous predator? You’re running through some woods being chased by him, in his darker coloring, trying to get away. Fearful, and yet excited, about being caught. Your heart pounding in your chest with the excitement of the chase while feeling the heat building in your nethers?” She worked the shampoo into my mane as her voice softened as if she’s remembering her own daydream. And as she continued, it wasn’t just the soap that she was working into me either. “When hearing that he’s going to eat you, you know it’s not literal, but sexual? You want it, you want him, but you love the chase. You love how he wants you badly enough to chase after you.”

As she continued speaking, my mind couldn’t help but put me into her place in this fantasy she created. It was making my heart pound in my chest as if it was me being chased as she described it. It didn’t help that my body was in a vulnerable position right now either with my head deep in the sink. Images of Emmit’s face filled with the thrill of the chase and the lust in his eyes just for me flashed through my mind. And I was liking it.

“Especially if you can’t use your magic because you wanted a magical inhibitor on your horn. It makes it that much more thrilling knowing that you are completely outmatched with nothing to aid you.”

My wings started expanding as my body got more aroused the further she talked about it. Part of me wanted her to stop, but more of me wanted her to continue. And continue she did with shampoo in my mane.

“But at last he corners you,” she continued as her hooves stilled with the tone of her voice changed to that of a cornered animal. “You look on in fear as those glowing bright red eyes keep you in place. You can’t move. But you don’t want to either. You love the hunger in his eyes. That hunger you put there because of the effect you have on him. His eyes are filled with a lustful hunger that roams over your body.”

My eyes were tightly shut and with heavy breathing, my mind was deep into this daydream that she had created.

“He licks his lips slowly in anticipation of taking you and plunging himself deep inside of you. Your body reacts to that look in his eyes as your nethers are crying out for him to fill it. Then a couple of seconds later he does. He leaps at you immediately planting a passionate, and possessive, kiss against your lips,” her eyes were closed with a hoof expressively waving in the air as if to dramatically illustrate the story. “But that’s not enough. He forces your body to turn around and stands over you. You feel his warmth against you, his strength against you, and then the tip of his muscle pressing against you demanding entrance. You can’t help a moan escape from you as his tails come forward to cover your body as a paw grips your chest. But it’s nothing compared to his sudden intrusion into your body. The sudden intrusion makes you gasp with the quick intense pleasure puts every nerve on fire.”

The images were putting me on fire. Every little movement of my hind legs or butt just made it worse. I’ve already made up my mind about Emmit and right now my body was following what my mind was creating. It felt like my nethers were on fire. And I made the mistake of squeezing my hind legs together only to make it worse and forcing a moan to escape from me.

“Oh, Twilight, you’ll experience what it’s like to totally surrender. As his body is inside of yours, each pleasurable thrust he gives you tells you that you are his mare. But oh, Twilight, he’s your predator as well. This is how you affect him. You are the one that is driving him to moan, groan, call out your name into your ear.”

Oh, sweet Celestia, this is really getting to me. It was almost as if I could really feel him inside of me. My body enjoying each thrust with each nerve on fire around his shaft. And it was driving me to climax in spite of myself.

“And you completely surrender as his strong front leg and paw hold your body against his,” she continued totally oblivious to what she was doing to me. Her hooves were still in my mane at the time as well. “You let your body go limp completely surrendering to him. As you enjoy his hard body against you, his tails around you, and his long hard shaft pleasuring every inch inside of you, you lift your head demanding a kiss from him as he takes your body. You tell him that you’re his mare and he needs to make sure you know it by giving himself to you.”

I think my body was starting to shake as if he really was behind me. As if my body really could feel his “long hard shaft” inside of me. As if he really was thrusting against me. And it was driving my body further and further toward a powerful climax no matter what I did. Like I was being controlled by the fantasy…

And enjoying it. Sweet Celestia above please don’t stop now.

“Harder, you cry,” Rarity continued, “faster. You want to feel his warmth inside of you as well as all around you. That’s what it means to be claimed by a predator, Twilight. You feel his paws, arms, and hands around you but his warmth inside of you as well. You demand that warmth inside of you, demand that he finishes inside of you, demand that he screams your name. And he does. Oh, Twilight, he does. The orgasm is powerful, Twilight. You cry out, as he does when your body climaxes around his shaft.”

It was then that one of her hooves went from my mane to plant itself directly between my wings. And that’s what started my body to climax. The fantasy played out in my head with Emmit making the last powerful thrusts into me. But it was when Rarity’s hoof started moving against my back that finished it for me.

“You orgasm hard. Your body gripping, pulling, and sucking on his member enjoying the warmth that is flooding into you,” it was here that her hoof stroked between my wings enough to throw me over the cliff. With a loud sudden gasp, my body went into a powerful orgasm, one of the most powerful I’ve ever had. It was here that I realized something. There really was something like a dildo inside of me and that my magic was moving it. I was just too into the fantasy to notice it. My head lifted up out of the sink throwing water and soap everywhere and startling Rarity out of her fantasy. While my eyes went wide looking up at the ceiling being wracked by the orgasm, my ears picked up her own gasp. But it was a gasp of shock as she suddenly realized what happened and started apologizing to me. But her apologies would have to wait while I enjoyed the orgasm that was racing through me. This has never happened to me before.

“Oh, Twilight,” I think Rarity was on the verge of crying because of this, “I’m soo terribly sorry.” It was as if she perceived that she either forced it on me somehow or that she had ruined our friendship because of it. I guessed that because of the tone in her voice. But I couldn’t tell her just yet, that we were still friends, or that I really wasn’t that upset with her because the last of the orgasm was fading from my body. As it faded from me, I lowered my head back down into the sink with a long satisfied moan. Rarity went quiet. I think she was waiting for me to say something to her. That was going to take another minute. “Twilight?” she asked sheepishly with regret filling her voice a minute later.

“Rarity?” I mumbled softly, with a slight slur in my voice, a few seconds later.

“Yes?” the tone in her voice told me that she was certain she ruined our friendship.

“First, somehow I got a dildo inside of me,” my voice was a little slurred because of the afterglow. “I say that first because not only did it surprise me and I have no idea how that happened. But it makes me wonder if the real experience is better?”

I heard Rarity giggle a little before she answered. “Twilight, I can say with all my experience with him, that he is far better than the dildo. But I have to wonder and ask where you got it from?”

“I don’t know,” I told her with my head still in the sink and used my magic to pull it out of me making me moan and giggle at the same time. It was one of those satisfying feelings that makes you moan and laugh at the same time. “Take a look.”

“Oh my,” she said with a slight gasp, “that’s mine. It’s a direct copy of him from his human form. You must have unwittingly grabbed it. You’re not mad are you?”

“No,” I said softly, “and I think that I might prefer his other form now.”

I was glad to hear her giggle lifting her spirits. “Just wait until you have him in his fox form like that. Trust me, it’s a lot more thrilling than simple fantasy. But I’m afraid that a simple mane wash isn’t going to do anymore. We must get you into the shower.”

“I think I’ll need your help with that,” I told her with a light giggle.

She did help me get upstairs and take a quick shower then redo my mane and tail as she wanted. My mane was styled differently than I normally keep it as in there were more curls in it. There were curls even in my mane, but not too much that it didn’t flow naturally, as Rarity puts it. We got done just in time to make it to the train station to meet up with the rest of the girls, the Crusaders, and the immediate family. Which meant that Granny and Big Mac were coming. Of Pinkie’s family, she said that all of them would join us but would meet us there later today. Fluttershy’s family couldn’t make it. We would meet up with Twilight’s family there. Rarity’s folks never seemed to be around. And Rainbow never really talked about hers, so I had no clue about them. They were all standing at the train station when Rarity and I ran up.

“Last call for Canterlot,” we heard as Rarity and I ran onto the loading platform.

“Now there’s a first,” Rainbow chuckled at us, “Twilight Sparkle being late.”

“Now, now,” Rarity chastised with a huff, “there’s a very good reason.”

AJ was smirking as the girls, plus Starlight Glimmer, Spike, the Crusaders, Big Mac, and Granny, started piling into the royal car, “Yeah, I think we can see the reason why.” Then she too turned and walked into the car, leaving Rarity and I to walk in behind her just a couple of minutes before the train started to move. We all sat three to a seat sitting across from each other. I was sitting on the outside with Rarity and Fluttershy, so it was Pinkie, Rainbow, and AJ across from us. Starlight was sitting with Big Mac and Granny while Spike and the Crusaders were sitting among themselves.

“I think it’s wonderful that she wants to look her best for him,” Fluttershy defended happy with a slight giggle.

“Oh we think it’s wonderful too,” was Pinkie’s giggling comment.

“Of course we do,” Rainbow echoed with a firm nod. Then winked at me, “That doesn’t mean we won’t tease her for it, though.”

At least they don’t know what really happened, thank goodness. And I wanted to keep it that way. The train whistled one last time as we left the station. I was blushing as they talked about it. But I smiled anyway as it was all in good fun.

“Yeah, that’s true,” AJ chuckled sisterhoofing Rainbow.

Scootaloo popped her head up from behind me, “What’re you teasing her for?” She asked because she was curious, not because she was angry.

“Well youngen,” Granny started saying from across the way, “it’s not that unusual for a stallion to have multiple mares. Why back in my day it was almost preferred.” I turned my head to watch Granny get that faraway look in her eyes whenever she started talking about the past. “That wasn’t fer me though.”

“What does that have to do with them teasing you?” Scootaloo quietly asked me as Granny rambled on.

“Scootaloo dear,” Rarity turned her head to whisper an explanation, “you know that Celestia, Luna, and I are officially married to Emmit?” Scootaloo nodded. “Well, one stallion can have a harem or herd. That’s what Granny was referring to as one stallion with multiple mares. That’s what Emmit has with us and Twilight wants to join in.”

Scootaloo, plus Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom all said, “Oh,” at the same time. But Scootaloo had other questions on the subject. I suppose that’s natural considering she, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom are, for all technical purposes adults. “What’s it like being in a harem?” Though it's hard seeing them that way. They've grown up so fast.

“It can be very rewarding,” Rarity whispered to them as Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom popped their heads up to look. “But it’s also more work than a single relationship. One of the rewards is being able to call upon a quote sister unquote in case you need help. Some mares don’t want polygamy because they simply don’t want to share their stallion.”

“So how many are in Emmit’s harem right now?” Apple Bloom asked curiously.

“Oh, oh,” Pinkie raised her hoof, “I am.”

Rainbow smiled and waved to the three.

“I am,” Fluttershy giggled, “but that goes without saying.”

“So, that only leaves my sister and it would be all of you?” Apple Bloom asked.

I watched as AJ blushed deep red, “He’s great and all, but I’m not sure about joining.”

“Well that’s quite alright, Applejack,” Rarity said to her with a slight wave of her hoof. “The harem life isn’t for every mare.”

“What about us? Could we start a harem with Spike?” And it was Sweetie Belle that asked, which shocked Rarity.

“Huh? Somepony called?”

“Never mind, Spike. Go back to sleep,” Twilight encouraged which got an “oh ok,” from him. It was my turn to look back at the girls, “I think you three are a little young yet to start thinking about that.” They actually looked downtrodden when I said that to them.

“And that’s why I never wanted to be part of any harem,” Granny finished and looked over to us for a reaction. All we did was look at each other before quietly snickering and giggling. Although poor Big Mac wasn’t having a good time as was the bored expression on his face whenever Granny started going into one of her stories. Starlight, I noticed, looked like she had something on her mind. Which could be handled later. For right now, I was just excited and eager to get up to Canterlot.

^_^

As soon as we all walked through the doors to the throne room, all the girls cooed an “aww” at the sight of Emmit in his human form, with shorts on, fast asleep on the throne holding little Solar. Or rather little Solar was laying on her father’s naked chest as he reclined back on the throne. Obviously, he had fed and burped her with both of them falling asleep again.

Cadence, my brother, and Flurry Heart were there talking to Celestia. Because Luna wasn’t there, more than likely she was sleeping until dinner time. Right off my father and mother spotted us and started trotting over.

“Twilight, happy Hearth’s Warming,” mother said to me right before pulling me into a hug.

“Happy to see you, honey,” father greeted me joining the hug with her. “And who is this other friend of yours?”

“Oh, mom, dad, this is Starlight Glimmer,” I introduced while the rest of the group trotted over to Celestia, “the mare I wrote to you about.”

“Oh yes, you mentioned having a student of your own,” Mother said with a happy smile before turning to Starlight. “A pleasure to meet you Starlight.”

Starlight looked at my parents with one of those repentant smiles, “Believe me, the pleasure is all mine. It was Twilight that showed me the error of my ways.”

“And I’m so very glad she did. And that you saw the error of those ways,” Celestia stepped up with a wide smile.

“Celestia,” I hugged her happily, “happy Hearth’s Warming.”

“Happy Hearth’s Warming, Twilight,” her motherly tone was music to my ears as she hugged me. Then she looked back at Starlight, “I’m happy that she invited you, Starlight.”

“Thank you, Princess Celestia,” Starlight began saying, but then looked a little confused as she took a look around at the decorations. “But I’m just not sure what Hearth’s Warming is all about.”

I nearly gasped in shock at what she just said and would have said something, but AJ beat me to it.

“Did I hear you right, Starlight?” AJ asked while trotting up to us. “You aren’t sure what this here holiday is all about?”

“Well, yeah. I didn’t really celebrate it being isolated and all,” she returned.

“Oh, well-”

AJ interrupted me, “Let me handle this one, Twilight.” Then she winked at me, “Don’t you have something already planned?”

“Yes, she does,” Celestia answered for me as she stepped up beside me putting a wing over me. “Why don’t you educate Starlight on the importance of this special holiday?”

“Why it’d be my pleasure,” AJ nodded happily then ushered Starlight to the side. “Come on, Starlight. Let me tell you a story.”

“What do you have planned, honey?” Father asked curiously. “Have something special in mind for somepony?”

“You could say that,” Celestia answered for me. Then leaned down to whisper, “My room is ready, so why don’t you meet him there?”

“Alright,” my voice betrayed my nervousness as it shook slightly as my heart began pounding in my chest. Images of Emmit and I flashed through my mind making my body heat up. However, I smiled wide to my parents, “I’ll see you later. I’m going to prepare a special...uh...present for somepony.”

“Alright, dear,” Mother smiled, then winked to me before giggling as if in joy.

Father simply shrugged still clueless. Yes, that’s my father alright.

Then I quietly disappeared in a flash of magic and a soft pop. And arrived just outside of Celestia’s doors then walked in a second later. Nervicited might not be a real word, but it is what I felt right now. Celestia was waking him up and telling him that a very special present was waiting for him inside her room right now. What made me really nervous was that I had no idea how he was going to react to me wanting in on his herd. Does he even want me? That was one question that came to mind, among many. Long ago I had figured out that what if questions were useless, but my mind couldn’t help but keep bringing them up no matter how hard I tried to push them away. That was until the door started opening. Then everything in my mind simply shut down as I turned toward the door.

He came in the room with his eyes locking onto me, which although brightened at seeing me, also held confusion in them. He didn’t expect me to be his present but thought that something else was. “Hey, Twilight,” he greeted with a tired smile and a wave but didn’t shut the door. I shut the door behind him with my magic. He was still in his human form.

I tried not to let any nervousness show in my voice. “Hi, Emmit,” that didn’t stop my voice from showing a little bit of it anyway. I really didn’t know what to say to him, so I didn’t say anything after that.

He looked around for a minute before looking at me again. “Tia said that there was a present in here for me?”

“Yes, yes she did,” my heart pounded in my chest again as she stepped up to me.

He looked down at me seemingly confused, “Alright, but I don’t see it.”

The moment of truth.

I took a slow calming breath. “You are seeing it. It’s me.”

For a couple of seconds he didn’t say anything, just blinked at me. During that time, my mind was racing with the what if’s. He recovered by looking down at me with a knowing smirk on his face and a wicked glint in his eyes that made my heart skip a beat. Then he lowered himself down, picked me up by my front legs, and lifted me up on my hind legs, so my face could be closer to his. I still had to look up to him but my head came to just below his chin. My hooves were on his naked chest as his hands ran up and down the sides of my body. That sent a shiver up and down my back. And when I looked up into his eyes, they held desire in them. “You are my present, hmm?” I gave him a confirming nod. “I think that explains the hairdo doesn’t it?” I bit my bottom lip gently and nodded once again.

“I wanted to look nice for you,” my eyes looking up at his with my voice soft and nervous, “being your present and everything.”

His lips lowered to mine giving me a light kiss that lingered with a promise of more to come. “Remember when you accidentally teleported me into Tia’s bath? How you were getting soo hot and bothered?” I did and nodded to him with a blush and a soft “yes.” “I loved the look you gave me,” he spoke softly in a teasing voice that was making my stomach tumble but in a good way. “Just like the look you’re giving me now.”

I used a hoof to lightly rub against his chest. He lowered a hand to the base of my tail, wrapping a couple of fingers around it, and pulling my waist against his. With my heart pounding in my chest, my eyes searching his, and my lower lips pressing against his stiffened shaft inside his pants, my wings started rising in response to the growing arousal he was igniting within me. He noticed this and use his other hand to rub between my wings. That pulled a soft sigh from me as those magical fingers sent heat through me.

He lowered his head to my neck, where I turned it giving him more room, giving me light kisses as he spoke. “A look letting me know that you are aroused.” My eyes closed as he kissed me. “And if you are my present, then I want you aroused.” He kissed my neck again while digging his fingers between my wings. I pressed my lower lips against his shaft inside his pants. Then wrapped my legs around him and arched my back giving him as much access to my neck as he wanted with a soft moan of arousal. “Deeply aroused, Twilight. Because I am for you.”

My waist started rubbing against him slowly and whispered, “Emmit.” Rarity’s words from before echoed in my mind. You’ll experience what it’s like to totally surrender. Surrender. That kept echoing in my mind. After a soft moan, I made up my mind to do so. But it was also satisfying to know the effect I was having on him as well. He got aroused because of me.

“Yes, Twilight? You want to say something?” his hand, at the base of my tail, squeezed and then let go over and over again.

“Emmit...I,” I gasped at what his fingers were doing to me, then moaned, “I want you. Take me to bed.”

He turned my head toward him and kissed me on my lips. It was a kiss of passion and need. One that I returned with a need of my own that was quickly growing into a raging inferno. “Yes, ma’am,” he said after he broke the kiss. Then picked me up bridal style taking me to the bed. After he laid me in the middle did he pull back to take off his shorts. This time, I watched him untie his shorts, dropping them to the floor to expose his hard member to me.

I used my front hooves to spread out my mane onto the pillow before resting them on the pillow above my head. Then spread my hind legs for him letting him see how wet I was for him.

Without doing anything else, his eyes roamed over my body. And I liked it. I enjoyed it. When his eyes met mine again he smiled, “I want to hear you say it, Twilight.”

I didn’t know what he wanted because I already said that I wanted him. “Say what?”

“That you’re my mare. And only mine.”

“Emmit,” I said softly while looking into his eyes, “I...surrender myself to you. I want you inside of me. I need you inside of me. Only you, Emmit. I’m your mare.”

That’s all he wanted to hear. With a predatory look on his face, he climbed up onto the bed positioning himself over me. As he lowered himself on top of me, both of his hands went underneath me. One positioned itself between my wings with his fingers firmly massaging me. The other went behind my head, turned it to one side where my cheek was against the pillow, and then took a hold of my horn. By doing so, it kept my head in a submissive and vulnerable position as his fingers stroked my horn. Is this what Rarity meant by totally surrendering? It felt like it. My hooves started stroking his head when his lips met my neck once again.

But what made me moan in pleasure was when I felt him start penetrating me. He entered slowly, taking his time for me to stretch around him. The sigh of his pleasure hit my ears as my hind legs wrapped around his waist. Waves of pleasure crashed through me like waves crashing up on shore. Because I was an Alicorn the stimulus from my nethers, between my wings, and my horn was incredible. Is this what he does to Luna and Celestia? My mind was awash in pleasurable sensations that it was hard to think anything at all, much less think straight. But there was something I did know. I loved it and wanted more.

This is why I let out a loud long moaning “yes” as he began to move against me. Rarity was right, the real thing is many times better than the fake one and a fantasy. It felt like his lips were leaving fire marks against my neck with each kiss. Rarity’s words of faster harder you cry entered my mind. Which was the only clear thought I had. Because with each thrust of his waist it pushed back my body enough so that it would move against the fingers against my back and around my horn. One thrust of pleasure raced through me before echoed from my wings and my horn. Like ripples in the water with three different stones breaking the surface. But those ripples weren’t growing fast enough for me. “Faster, Emmit, harder,” I tried crying out, but my voice was more like a low murmuring moan of pleasure rather than a commanding cry.

He obeyed. And my ears were filled with the sound of our waist slapping together time and again. The satisfaction of hearing his own moans of pleasure hit my ears as he speared me. His shaft was rubbing me in all the right places inside making the waves of pleasure grow larger. Arching myself against him I tried, in almost desperation, to get him deeper inside of me. I let out a loud “BUCK YES” as his body pounded mine making the roaring waves of pleasure pound against my mind.

I could feel my magic start to rise, but with my mind awash with so much pleasure I couldn’t concentrate on it, nor control it. It was building up inside of me much like the climax that was nearing. Opening my eyes, I could see my horn start to glow. “My…,” I paused to moan and gasp in pleasure, “...magic...I...can’t...”

“Let it go, Twilight,” he growled in my ear as he claimed and took me. He was actively rubbing his fingers against my body and around my horn now with his quick pace. “Don’t control it,” he panted into my ear, “let it do what it wants.”

So, I let my mind wander in the sea of pleasure he was giving me. Right now, waves upon waves of that sea were crashing into each other. My climax was nearing and felt like my body was fixing to explode like a volcano. And he wanted it to happen. So, I was going to let it.

The light from my horn was getting brighter and brighter in powerful waves as my body quickly was reaching climax. “Emmit...I...” It was like my heart was pounding in my ears. Closing my eyes, I could feel my magic starting to go out of control as my climax was just about to peak.

Emmit growled into my ear as his own body screamed for release and quickly pounded into me.

“Inside...Emmit,” I was able to whisper over and over again as he took his final thrusts into me. Then everything happened at once. Our bodies climaxed together with him deep inside of me groaning with his release. My body contracting, pulling, and milking him made me gasp long and loud with my eyes snapping open as my body spasmed in a powerful orgasm. That orgasm sent my magic exploding out of my horn in a shower of sparks right before I cried out and everything went white.

^_^

At first, I didn’t think we went anywhere, but the sudden shout of alarm proved me wrong on that one. But I think the reason for the shout of alarm was how we appeared out of nowhere during our powerful orgasm. That wasn’t over, I might add. I was holding onto Emmit as if for dear life as my body was still milking him. My eyes were closed with my head buried in the base of his neck, but it was obvious that we landed on a bed. Which was why I didn’t think we went anywhere at first.

As our orgasm subsided, my eyes opened, turned my head, and looked right into the eyes of Cadence. And she was grinning from ear to ear. And she was also nursing little Flurry Heart at the time too.

“Hi, Twilight,” Cadence greeted me, her voice showing her amusement. Her head was on the pillow next to us with her eyes filled with mirth. “I’d ask how it was, but I think it’s fairly obvious at this point.”

My face felt hot, so I knew my face was flushed with embarrassment. Emmit wasn’t though. And after turning to look up at him proved he was just as amused at this as Cadence was. “Hey Cadence, mind if we popped in?”

“I don’t mind so much,” Cadence giggled at me with a wink, “as she talked to me about this beforehoof. However, you might want to leave before Shining shows up.”

In response to that Emmit started to get off of me thereby his member began pulling out. But sweet Celestia did that almost make me orgasm again. “Don’t leave yet, Emmit,” I told him, nearly crying out as another wave of pleasure raced through me again. My legs, all four of them, wrapped around him once more to hold him in place. “Please, not yet,” I gasped with my eyes going wide as he slid back inside of me all the way. A few giggles also escaped me as he did so.

“I think somepony is thoroughly satisfied,” Cadence giggled at me with a knowing grin on her face.

“Can you teleport us back to the room?” he asked looking down at me.

I shook my head up at him, “No, my magic is spent and I really don’t want to move right now.”

“I didn’t either when Shining did that to me too for the first time,” Cadence cooed at me. “That first time is always the best.”

“Thanks for the compliment, Cadence,” Emmit grinned, thankful for her stroking his ego.

I used a hoof to bring his head toward me again. “Emmit,” my voice held urgency in it, “she’s right that we need to go. And even though I don’t want to move or you to leave, we need to. So, just go ahead and pull out of me, transform, and put me on your back.”

“Ok,” he accepted with a nod, quickly pulled out of me, and then started to transform into his fox form. When he pulled out it, my nethers were still quite sensitive making me laugh and moan a little before stretching it out. But before he could lift me up, the door opened.

“Cadence? I’m ba-” he paused in an instant while his mind took in the scene before him. Then started glaring at Emmit. “You didn’t just do my sister did you?”

Emmit turned to him and grinned wickedly while at the same time lifting me onto his back. “I did, she enjoyed it, and now we’re leaving,” his tails came up covering all of my body save for my head.

“In front of Cadence?” he nearly shouted the question in shock.

I could see why he would think that, so it was time for me to intervene. “Shining? We didn’t. My magic went wild teleporting us here. As far as Emmit and I are concerned, it’s my choice.”

“You’re my sister and-”

“My choice, Shining,” was my firm response to him with a slight glare of my own. And when he didn’t say anything to me but simply look at me with mixed emotions, I tapped my chin against Emmit’s head. “Let’s go.”

“Yes, ma’am,” there was amusement and humor in his voice as he started walking past Shining and then out the door.

It was only when we were down the hall and out of earshot did I speak up again. “That was soo embarrassing,” I groaned burying my head into the back of his neck. And after realizing something, I lightly bit him on the back of his neck, “And you were the one that wanted my magic to go wild.”

He flinched a little with a chuckle, “Yeah I did. It makes it more interesting that way. When you look back on this years from now I bet you’ll smile at the wonderful memory.”

“Maybe,” I mused softly in thought, “at least it was with Cadence and my brother instead of out in public somewhere. That really would be too embarrassing.” Then I finally noticed where we were headed, “Wait! You’re not going to the throne room are you?”

“Yep.” And he said it without hesitation and with a good amount of mischief in his voice as well. But what he said next left me speechless. “I want the others to see my new present unwrapped and how wonderful it is.”

All I could do was sputter a couple of words right as the double doors to the throne room opened. And as we walked back in everypony turned to look at us. Some with knowing smiles, namely all of my friends. Luckily the Crusaders and Spike were clueless. But as almost every eye was on us I knew that our time was going to be interesting with his next words. “Hey everypony, I love my new present.” And with an embarrassed groan, I tried hiding within his tails trying my best to disappear.
