Rarity stopped to wipe a bit a sweat from her brow. She had just finished fitting together a sapphire necklace. One that she had been working on for days now. After taking a moment to admire her work, she tossed into a box and let out a long sigh of relief.

She turned and glanced around her room. It was a part of the cave sectioned off for her use. She had iron pot and stove for melding gold. A table and comfy chair for working. Several buckets full of gold nuggets and gems. A hammock for naps (tied between two stalagmites), though she preferred to sleep with her mate. Two pictures hung nearby of her family and of her friends. And a small shelf she had fashioned out of the crates she had brought with her filled with miscellaneous things to help get her by such as bathing, stuff for cooking, a few chunks of cloth and a cloak for those colder nights.

Her current ensemble was what she preferred to wear when she was here at her new home with Spike. A loincloth that showed off her leg right up to the hip and a loose cloth tide around her breasts. Sometimes not even that though. Lately, she had found herself getting more in touch with her wild side. Whether it was due to living with a Dragon out in the wild, or the excuse of being secure with a mate who can torch a Timber Wolf in seconds... Rarity found herself enjoying a freedom unlike any she had before.

The Gem Hunter took a deep breath and got up, about to see what her mate was up to when she heard a chirp above her. Looking up, she smiled as Zetaflare glided down and perched onto her chair. "Good afternoon Zeta, do you have something for me?"

The phoenix nodded and passed a letter strapped to her leg. Rarity reached out and took the letter, excited to see what Fluttershy had found. It had been almost two weeks now since Rarity discovered her exotic friend had some really exotic tastes. Zetaflare managed to track down Rarity at her cave and had been using her as way of keep up with things back at home. After all, when she did return home, it had only been a quick drop of. Maybe a quick hug from her sister before she was ready to leave and return to her and Spike's cave again. Her real home now.

She was surprised to realize how hard it was going to be to return regularly at this point. She was enjoying this more freeing lifestyle too much. It was like living in a dream now.

Learning how to live with a Dragon was an experience all of its own, on top off all that. Learning about how Spike hunted, did for fun, exploring the Everfree in their free time. It was all so exciting. Sure she enjoyed her gem crafting, it was her life's work. But there was just something so new and exciting to everything now.

Realizing she was getting lost in her thoughts, Rarity shook her head and opened the letter.

Dear Rarity,
I have some findings I am sure you will be more than interested in so I will get right to the chase.
1. Dragons, while exclusive to their mate, are open to a... Well, open relationship. Expanding the hoard would be my guess to this reasoning. While most animals aren't exactly monogamous creatures, Dragons do seem to have a preferred mate at the end of the day. We saw that he was willing to... Um... Let me ride him. So I am sure you already put that piece together on your own.
2. Dragons spunk seem to have aphrodisiac like properties when exposed to the open air. I'd rather not explain how I came to this finding but lets just say, best to be weary when covered in his seed.
3. Dragon saliva may have healing properties. I accidentally got some on a paper cut earlier and it looks like it has faded aside from some sensitivity. More research needed.
4. Finally, Dragons are very advanced when it comes to intellect. I'd probably put them somewhere around that of a dolphin or a dyrewolf. More research is needed though to determine at what exact degree.
5. Finally, I managed to find a bit more research on them thanks to a friend. Turns out, your mate has certain qualities not found in your average Dragon. I will be looking into this more very soon.

With best wishes and hope that you will be willing to by stop and let me learn more,
Fluttershy

Rarity looked up and saw Zeta was looking at her expectantly. "Ah, yes. I will be returning a letter. But I imagine that is not why you are looking at me like that." She reached over to a kettle sitting nearby. "Just brewed it less than an hour ago, it should still be hot." She poured it out into cup and set it in front of the phoenix who casually bent down and began to sip from it.

Rarity took out a piece of paper and dipped a quill in ink. She thought for a moment before responding.

Dearest Fluttershy,
I just got your letter. Thanks for the research. I will look for a time to meet again eventually. Right now, I am getting used to living out here and I must admit, it is hard for me to want to return as often. It is lovely out here and life seems to have become its own adventure. I am even getting better at not getting so nervous when Spike takes us out flying. He has shown me so much and I feel he still has more to show.

Good luck on your research,
Rarity

Rarity put down her quill. It was short. She wondered if she should say more but perhaps she could save that for later. Right now, her mind was wanting to get back and see what Spike was up to. She passed her letter back to the phoenix and gave a small wave. Zetaflare nodded and soon took off. After waiting till the bird was gone, Rarity turned in time to see Spike walking over to her, something grasped into his claw.

He opened it as he got near and Rarity felt her heart jump. It looked like an emerald but it glowed. As in, it actually gave off light of its own. He passed it to her and Rarity couldn't believe how warm it was. "Spike, this is incredible! Where did you get this?"

Spike seemed glad that Rarity was so excited. He gave her a friendly nudge with his snout. Rarity gave him a quick kiss and a hug in return. "I love it. This could make for some inspiring accessories. Could you take me to where you found these?" He got on all fours and raised his wings. He seemed very excited to show her.

Rarity turned and grabbed a small satchel. She then got onto his back and the two took off out of the cave and towards their destination. As Spike flew, Rarity did her best to keep her eyes on the clouds. Though flying was getting easier, she still wasn't there yet when it came to the whole height deal. Didn't help that her feet felt nothing but the passing air.

Spike flew a fair amount of ways until he finally set down in front of a large cave. Rarity got off and looked around. It seemed the entrance was covered in vines. If one did not know this was here, it could have been easily missed. Just as the Magi was about to take a step inside, Spike suddenly moved to stand directly behind her, standing up and looking as big as possible. He gave a loud growl at the edge of the woods surrounding them.

Rarity turned around, already feeling slightly worried. He hadn't growled like that since coming across a cockatrice during a recent Everfree exploration. Though he managed to scare it away, it was still a surreal thing to see her lovable Dragon get so tense. She looked up at him, then out into the brush. "Spike? What is it, dear?"

Then there came the cracking a wood and the low howls. She felt her heart sink. She knew those sounds all too well. A memory of a terrible creature flashed in her mind. A horrible run in that costed her plenty and almost her life. Only one type of creature likes to make those sounds...

Timber Wolves.

The edge of the darkened woods seemed to come alive as several pairs of green eyes suddenly appeared. More creaks and cracks could be heard as the wood enchanted wolves began to appear from the thick brush. Rarity counted six of them. Just one of them can be difficult but six? Rarity was more glad than ever that she now had a strong mate like a Dragon.

The Timber Wolf on the far left wasted no time in charging them. Spike readied himself but Rarity managed to catch the creature with her magic. The creature seemed to fight against her, moving about and making it hard to hold him. She gritted her teeth and hurled the creature at a nearby tree, breaking him into pieces on impact. She wished she could have done that the last time she had come across one. Sadly, it only works if they aren't expecting such an attack.

Spike looked back at Rarity and seemed to grin. She gave a him a quick nod. She would not be standing on the side like some damsel in distress. She had been taking care of herself just fine up till now, no reason to let that fighting spirit go to waste.

Two more came charging and Spike took lead on this one. Torching one with a strong fire breath and smashing the other with his tail, sending it flying and crashing back into the brush. The other four decided to rush at once. Rarity stood strong and braced herself, managing to grab two in mid air. Unlike the last time though, they were quick to break free, but seemed to land awkwardly, knocking them slightly off balance.

Spike took the opportunity to set the two ablaze while tail whipping one Timber Wolf into the other, smashing the two. Rarity picked up and chucked the now smoldering creatures off to the side, both no longer moving as they quickly turned back into regular chunks of the wood mixed with fading green ash.

Rarity sighed with relief. "Well, that was certainly a way to add a bit more excitement to the day." Spike turned back to her and appeared like he wanted to nudge her sweetly. Just before he could move, one of the Timber Wolves that had attacked earlier, the one that had landed in the brush, suddenly emerged and charged forward. Spike didn't have enough time to react as Rarity was now slightly more in the open.

Rarity felt her feet leave the ground as the Timber Wolf pounced and landed on top of her. The Magi was quick to grab the creature, hands glowing a hard blue, holding its face back as it tried to bite her. She felt one of its claws rake against her shoulder. She winced but soon felt the creature leave her as Spike grabbed hold and yanked the creature off of her.

He held down and erupted a mighty blast of green flame, searing the creature and quickly turning it to nothing but bits of wood and soot. Rarity let out the breath she realized she was holding and leaned her head back. "Oh... Wow... Ok... That was a close one."

Spike soon picked her up in his arms and began looking her over. Rarity felt a blush running across her face as Spike held her so close to his body. He soon spied the gash on her arm and began to lick it. Rarity wanted to push him away, to ask that she just go back and have it bandaged. But then the letter Fluttershy sent earlier came to mind.

She glanced at her wound and watched in silent fascination as it quickly healed, to the point there wasn't even a scar. Rarity traced the area with her finger and found it was only slightly sensitive. Other than that, it was fine. "Oh my... Thankyou, Spike."

Twice now she had been wowed. Both by her attack and followed by just how amazing her mate really was. Now only just scuffed up by some dirt, Rarity felt like perhaps a bath was in order. But then again, those glowing gems had to be close. Spike put her back onto her feet and Rarity did her best to brush herself off before looking back at the cave. With renewed vigor, she began to walk froward.

After walking for a few minutes, the cave becoming increasingly dark, Rarity stopped as a soft glow slowly entered her vision. As she turned a corner, her breath caught in her throat. A large pool with a small waterfall was currently in front of her. But not just that, the pool was covered in green gems along the bottom while soft blue glowing crystals covered the walls and ceiling. The soft sound of flowing water mixed with the otherworldly scene, it was like stepping into something out of a fantasy.

Then Spike walked up behind her gave her a friend nudge. She chuckled. "Right. Kind of living a fantasy too."

Rarity turned and gave her Dragon the biggest hug that she could, even kissed the edge of his snout. "Thanks again, Spike. This is incredible."

Now feeling her heart racing, Rarity turned and headed to the edge of the pool. It looked like it had a small drop off that got deeper as it neared the waterfall. The drop off was easily as tall as Spike was. The Magi smiled and dove into the water. To her surprise, it was very warm. She wondered in perhaps the glowing gems were at fault. They did seem to give off their own magical warmth.

Rarity held her breath and slipped downwards, swimming gracefully until she could reach one of the gems. Upon reaching one, she stopped and looked over the gem. She then concentrated a small point of magic from her finger, making it sharp. Sharp enough to easily cut rock. She then dug around the gem and dislodged it from the ground. It was glowing slightly brighter than even the one Spike had shown her earlier. Rarity, even more excited, stuck it into her satchel then swam up for air.

Upon breaking the surface, she moved her hair out of her face and glanced back at Spike who seemed memorized by the room. "Care to help a mate get some gems!" She called. Spike blinked and turned to her. Only to seemingly get memorized again. Rarity realized that she probably looked really sexy like this, covered in water, her hair down. She was in a pool also surrounded by gems. Would be the closest thing to a Dragon's wet dream.

She grinned and quickly untied her cloth covering her breasts. Her loin cloth was soon let loose as well. As her naked form came into view, Spike started to lick his lips. The Magi turned around but looked back seductively at him. "Help me gather some gems... Then I think a good reward is in order, don't you?"

Spike seemed to pant slightly while watching Rarity slip back into the deeper portion of the pool. Her ass coming into view for a few seconds as she dove back under the water. The Dragon blinked and soon his brain began to sputter like never before. With vigor, he quickly slipped into the water, splashing some of it around him as he did so. Rarity was currently working on removing a gem and turned, just in time to see Spike quickly swim over to her.

His claws were like lightning as he began to scoop up the gems. Dislodging them on strength alone. Rarity would have let her jaw drop had she not been holding her breath. Instead floating there and watching in silent fascination as Spike soon swam up to her, arms full of glowing gems.

Rarity held out her bag and nearly let go of it was Spike managed to fill it with everything he had found. Suddenly realizing a problem, Rarity struggled to get back to the surface with the now heavy bag in tow. Luckily, Spike seemed to notice this and was quick to swim up beside her, holding out his neck.

Rarity latched on and the two soon swam up and breached the surface. Rarity coughed and took in some precious air. Spike soon led her to the edge, allowing her to deposit her bag on the shore. The Magi quickly turned and hugged her Dragon tightly. "I really can't thank you enough Spike, these are going to make some incredible works of art."

Spike gave a warm growl that almost sounded like a purring noise. He then pointed his claw towards the waterfall. Rarity glanced over and noticed an odd glow coming from just below it. "Oh, is there something else here?"

Spike motioned for her to get on his back. He then seemed to suck in some air as Rarity's naked body soon clung to him. Judging from how tense he became, Rarity could only assume that this was really turning him on right now. But whatever he wanted to show her, seemed to take precedent at the moment.

Spike began to dip below the water and Rarity held her breath. She felt the water rushing around her as Spike began to swim towards the bottom, working his way under the waterfall and into a cavern hidden behind it. Inside, Rarity's eyes's grew wide as glowing small red heart shaped gems appeared all over the small area. Spike reached out and took a largest looking one. He then gave it to Rarity. Her eyes lit up as she felt the warm object seemed to slightly vibrate in her hand. It was about the size of her palm and seemed to glow slightly more with her touch.

If there was anything that would have caused her to want him any more than in that moment, this was that moment. Rarity hugged the wonderful looking gem close to her body before going back to clinging to her Dragon. As they quickly swam back, soon breaching near the edge of the pool, Rarity tossed the gem close to her bag. She then got off and swam over so that she was facing him.

"Alright, I have told you this once before. But now I really mean it. After everything you have shown... Done for me. After everything, I am yours Spike. Forever yours. Now... I want you to ravish me. Take my body to your hearts content. Don't stop when you think I am done. I want you to understand that the love I have for you, goes well beyond anything my body can take. Please, I want to feel your love... ALL OF IT."

Spike nudged her face lovingly and soon his claws found there way to her ass. His feet now touching the base of the wall as he managed to find some grounding. Rarity glanced down and saw that he was indeed at full mast. He wasted no time it pushing his way on in, stretching out her tunnel and growling, though his eyes gave away his pure joy.

Rarity gasped. "That's it... Give it to me... All of it."

Spike pushed on, filling up her entrance as Rarity panted, a mix of pleasures shooting through her body. Then he hilted her and now began his domination. He began by rearing back before thrusting in hard against her. Rarity let out a yelp as his spear forced it way deep inside her, only to piston out. Then she gripped his arms as he barreled back in again. It seemed to happen in slow motion but Rarity soon felt her body rebound as water splashed around them. She moaned and gasped as Spike began to plow into her over and over again.

Gripping her as as he assaulted her flower, driving in and out, passionately roaring as he slammed deep into his mate and out again. Rarity's hair clung to her face, her mouth open is silent awe as she felt him ravish himself, over and over again.

"Yes... Right there... Harder... Faster... Don't stop!"

She just came.

Rarity felt it but that didn't matter. It was Spike who was here to enjoy himself. She would cum as many times as it takes. Spike gritted his teeth and shoved himself in as hard as he dared, causing the Magi to get thrusted against the rock wall. He let out a large roar as Rarity felt his Dragon seed shoot deep into her, filling her up.

"Oh Goddess..."

Rarity came again while Spike filled her to the brim. She could feel her stomach starting to bulge a bit. It was almost too much. But soon, she felt the rush begin to subside as Spike let out a warm breath against her face.

Rarity pushed her hair back and stared lovingly into her mate's eyes. He gave her a nudge with his snout and Rarity returned the affection with a kiss on the tip of his nose. She couldn't give him a real kiss like she wanted to without causing some difficulties, but she reached out and did her best to show how much she loved him all the same.

His flaccid member soon popped out of her and Rarity felt some of the fluid drain out. She let out a sigh, leaned back, glad that Spike was still holding onto her as she felt like she was going to pass out at any moment. Spike carefully lifted her out of the water and set her down gently at the shore.

He then got out and laid down next to her, cuddling her close with his wing. She soon felt her eyes grow heavy and darkness soon took her consciousness. The last thing she saw before slipping into sleep was Spike reaching out to hold her as closely as possible.

***

Rarity awoke the next morning feeling rather sore. She was now back at the cave; Spike having somehow managed to carry her safely back and bring all the gems they had gathered as well. She awoke in the bed he had made out of leaves, wrapped in the only blanket she had brought with her and a branch of berries nearby. She could only assume that Spike had gone out to hunt.

Rarity felt her stomach and sighed. She thought about Spike and how her life could go from here. Starting a family perhaps? But how would that even be possible? Could she give up on her Gem finding even for a few months? Or however long it would take to have his offspring? How would that ever work? She was sure that it was impossible for her to give him offspring. But then again, magic could make anything possible. Who could she go to for something like that?

She debated her old friend, The Goddess of Magic, Twilight... But she was probably busy up in Canterlot. Doubt she would know a spell like that anyways. Passing Celestia's test of magical creation and imagination made it possible for her to become the amazing Goddess she is today. But surely even she would struggle to find such a spell like this. Perhaps there is someone else?

So many questions and the only one she could think to go to was Fluttershy. Rarity sighed and brought out a pen and ink, ready to write her a letter when she remembered the Fluttershy did want her to visit. Maybe a surprise visit in a few days was in order. As Rarity pondered over everything she was going to ask, her eyes fell on the red glowing gem Spike had given to her. "First things first." She thought. "I think I know exactly what I am going to do with this."
