Hentai Horse in Magical Pony Land

<<>>

Applejack first met Steel when she was working the stall in the marketplace, it was a slow day and she would’ve rather been applebucking with Big Mac. Sadly somepony had to watch the stall and it was her turn, however today not many had been shopping leaving Applejack enough peace to feel comfortable enough to read a saddle ripper that her Aunt Orange got her hooked on when she lived in the big city.

“Excuse me.” She’d deny to her dying day that she actually shrieked in surprise, “I’d like to buy some apples.”

Applejack quickly pulled herself together and put her book away quickly, but other than getting a slight chuckle from Steel he didn’t comment on her smut.

“Sorry partner. Caught me by surprise.” Applejack said as she looked at Steel, “Hayseed… you’re huge…” Much bigger than Big Mac.

Taller too actually.

“Heh, and you're a cute cowmare.” He replied with a smile.

“Yer smooth talking ain’t gonna get you a discount now.” She said with narrow eyes, though the faint blush ruined it.

Not many ponies gave her a genuine compliment like that, well they did but they were usually smooth talkers. And Applejack had learned how to see through such tricks during her time in the big city. The fact that Steel was being completely genuine took the Apple mare by surprise.

“More of an observation.” Steel said, “Now how much for a dozen apples?”

“Ah sure.” Applejack said as she got his order together, “That’ll be 36 bits.”

“Three bits per apple?” Steel tilted his head as he paid for his purchase, “Considering the quality I would’ve thought they would be five bits or more.”

“Well… we could. But if we charge out the nose then nopony would want any.” Applejack explained.

“Fair enough.” Steel said after some thought, “Actually are you hiring?”

“You looking for work?” Now it was Applejack’s turn to tilt her head, “Ain’t you working for Rarity and around town? You sure you want to add farm work onto that?”

“Well I’m aiming to buy that cottage outside of town.” Steel answered, “When I get the prosperity I’ll ease off.”

Applejack was aware of what he was talking about, local legend is that the place was haunted but she personally thought the story was a load of horseapples. Though she was wise enough to know that she didn’t know everything, so who knew? Maybe the place really is haunted.

“Well if yer sure there sugarcube.” Applejack said, “Though I thought ya should know. Local legend says that place is haunted.”

“It’s fine. I ain’t scared of no ghosts.” Applejack blinked, why did that sound like he was quoting something?

“Well, if yer sure.” Applejack said, “Stop by Sweet Apples in the morning and we can get you started.”

Steel nodded, “Well see you then!” He said before trotting off humming.

Applejack watched him leave, or more accurately his flanks.

“Ma would be tannin’ mah flank fer sounding a chauvinist but… damn those flanks are amazing!”

“What.” Applejack looked at a sheepish Big Mac and Steel, “Did you do?”

“C-Come on Jackie… it was just an accident…” Steel said with a sheepish chuckle, “I think it's safe to say neither one of us expected that rock to go flying like that!”

“Eeyup.”

Applejack’s hackles rose, “You. Broke. Old Appleton!”

“I didn’t mean to” Steel exclaimed, and at least he wasn’t denying it.

“Ma and Pa got married under that tree! I was hoping…” Applejack just trailed off before she glared at Steel, “Yer gonna make this right!”

“Of course! Anything!” Steel said, “I know it’ll never make up for the tree but I’ll do anything.”

“... Two weeks of overtime at half pay.” Applejack eventually said.

Big Mac just raised a brow at that and immediately saw this for what it is. And Big Mac was rather happy to see his sister taking an interest in somepony, hell even he found himself liking the big lug himself.

“Absolutely.” Steel said without a moment’s hesitation, “I’ll show up earlier than usual. What time do you get to work exactly?”

Applejack tried not to show how impressed she was.

“Crack of dawn.” She answered, “I’ll be expecting you then.”

The unspoken ‘or else’ was plainly heard by Steel, who just nodded his head.

“Of course.” Steel said, “And I’ll say it again, I am sorry. Especially now that I know how important the tree is to you.”

Applejack just nodded and decided to get back to tending the now very dead tree.

“Tarnations… I think Ma and Pa would be over the moon if they met this fella. Shucks, Granny and Ma would’ve already been planning a wedding…”

With a sniff that nopony could hear Applejack got to work.

“I don’t get it…” Applejack tilted her head as she listened to Applebloom who should’ve been tending to her lessons!

“Here, I’ll help.” Steel’s deep voice stopped her from coming over to chastic her sister, “Though I’m not going to do all the work for you. It might not seem like it now but your education is important.”

“But… I hate math!” Applebloom fused getting a rolling chuckle from the stallion.

“Honestly I'm not to fond of math myself.” Steel confessed, “However mathematics will help you in your life. Whether it’s tending to the family business or building those ramps and other things with your friends.”

Applebloom just grumbled and Applejack soon heard her writing with Steel quietly helping her and showing her where she messed up and guiding her on how to not make the same mistake again. Applejack just smiled before she snuck off so as to not disturb them.

“Good with younguns’ how has nopony not snatched him up?”

“I think I know why noponies snatched him up…”

It was entirely by accident too. Applejack was doing some after-applebucking stretches, Big Mac knows she does this in the barn so she doesn’t expose herself to all and sundry. And it wasn’t until Steel came in with a wagon full of apples and he got himself an eyeful did she realize that Steel was never informed of her habit.

And well… Steel reacted like any stallion attracted to mares would.

“Tarnations…”

Though Applejack was unlike most other mares as she wasn’t put off by his size, if anything she liked it when stallions were a bit bigger than her. And seeing he was bigger in a whole different way well… if Applejack’s willpower wasn’t as strong as it was she would’ve winked at him, and definitely not with her eye.

Steel of course beat a hasty retreat shortly after he got an eyeful, and Applejack let him think she didn’t notice. And she did in fact finish her stretches.

Then she had a whole different issue to take care of.

She didn’t leave the barn for another thirty minutes.
