Twilight Velvet let out a sigh as she looked at herself in the mirror. How had she let Cadance talk her into this? She was an old mare. A grandmother. Her menstruation had not stopped yet, but it was getting close. Her last few cycles had been pretty erratic. Plus, even before the children, when she was young and at her most active, she was not exactly a thin woman. A love of life had included good food. Add in having two children and just the effects of getting older, and here she was: thick thighs, a noticeable belly, and sagging breasts. All with stretch marks.
She should be wearing a nice, large, one piece. Something that covered up all the extra flesh she was carrying.
Yet, here Velvet stood, a sling bikini. Calling it a "swimsuit," or even "clothing," was being incredibly generous. It was barely more than dental floss and bandages. Around the edge of the bottom, she could see hints of her own pubic hair, even if well trimmed. Any attempt to pull it up and cover that would just wedge the fabric into her vulva. As for the piece on top, it just barely covered her nipples, and she felt like if she moved too fast, her tits would flop free.
"You're not too old to date," Cadance had told her. "There are plenty of creatures, male and female, that would totally find you attractive. Not just ponies either. You just need to be willing to put yourself out there. Take risks. Flirt with someone you find attractive. Most of all, you need to believe you're sexy. A large part of it comes down to confidence and self-esteem. If you believe you're sexy, if you act like you are attractive, others will believe it."
Now, in the changing room, wearing the sling bikini, the entire thing sounded so silly. Still, Cadance was the princess of Love, so she had to know what she was talking about. Besides, she had come this far. May as well go through with it.
Unknown to Twilight Velvet, another reason was driving her decision. Earlier in the day, she had begun ovulating, giving a boost to her hormones, and preparing her womb for one of the last few chances at having children. As a result, she was feeling a little more aroused and sexier already, making her more willing to go through with it. There was also a small part of her on a biological level that wanted to take advantage of one of her few remaining chances.
Grabbing her beach bag, she stepped out of the tent and onto the sand.
Gallus let the towel he brought drop onto the sand. He closed his eyes as he spread his wings wide and stretched out, feeling the warmth of the sun on his fur and feathers. His leonine toes stretched and squeezed, digging into the hot sand beneath his paws.
This was one of the admittedly many things he liked about living in Equestria: nice warm summer days. While not as bad as Yakyakistan, Griffonstone did not really have much in the way of seasons. Usually, the seasons there were: "cold," "wet," "cold and wet," and "risk of frostbite." Similarly, any wind was cold as well. Definitely not a place where swimming was popular. Not that there was any place to do such a thing. The entire place was pretty much nothing but rock. Finding enough water just to drink was a struggle, to say nothing of finding enough to swim in. Although, swimming was not really a priority when a griffon had to worry about survival and getting bits.
Now, however, that was no longer a worry for the griffon. He had a job that he did not mind most of the time, got paid well, and had plenty to eat. That did not include the benefits, like having days off and vacation time.
Admittedly, none of that helped with swimming, but lucky for Gallus, he had gone to school with a very enthusiastic hippogriff that loved to share with others, and literally spent most of her life in water.
Gallus took off, kicking up sand as he ran as fast as he could toward the water. Reaching the foreshore, he jumped and flapped his wings, launching himself into the air. The griffon flew ten feet before tucking his wings in and letting himself fall. He landed with an audible slap as his underside struck the water's surface. The warmth of the sting quickly faded as he sank under the surface, the cold wetness engulfing him.
The impact and cold also knocked some of the air from his lungs, forcing Gallus to surface.
Twilight Velvet walked along the beach, back straight and head held high. At first, it had been the only way she could do this: to stand proud, ignore the others, and keep repeating "confident," to herself. Otherwise, she would have become self-conscious about the whole thing and slouch over, covering herself with her arms as best she could.
Despite her intent, she could not help but look to see how others were reacting. Slowly, she shifted her head enough to look around.
Most of the beach goers were not paying attention to her, They were more interested in their own activities and having fun than anything. Of the ones that were looking, there were faces of disgust, but also attraction. Not just from stallions either. There were also mares, hippogriffs, zebras, and even an androgynous kirin all checking her out.
The fact that they thought her hot made her relax, feel more confident about herself. It also kind of turned her on.
She knew a couple of places on the beach that were out of public view, and even before the divorce, she had not had actual sex with another in a while. Even then, it had only ever been stallions. Maybe she could find an interested male of another species, or a female of any, sneak off to some private secluded area, and show them what an older, experienced mare was capable of, while getting some new experience herself.
Between keeping her head high, and starting to fantasize, Twilight Velvet was not watching where she was walking. It was only when she started to fall that she noticed the towel around her hooves.
Feeling a little tired and stiff swimming, Gallus decided to head toward the shore and take a rest. As he made his way toward the beach, a heavyset white unicorn mare, walking naked through the sand. The sight gave the griffon pause. Partially because he could not believe he was watching a mare walking around naked, and partially because there was something about her that looked familiar. He was certain that he had seen her before.
As he stood there, the mare tripped and over his towel and fell into the sand. Without thinking, he took off, flying over to where she was and landing nearby.
"Are you okay?"
Twilight Velvet pushed herself up, turning toward the masculine voice. There, she found herself looking up at a griffon tom, sun glistening off his wet coat as he offered her a hand.
"Yeah," she answered, accepting the help. As she stood back up, her free hand reached out and pressed against his chest. Velvet could feel the warmth of his body, and smooth, toned muscles hidden beneath the wet fur. "Guess I should have watched where I was going."
As Gallus helped her up, he noticed two things. The first was that the mare was not actually naked, just wearing a very revealing pink sling bikini. The second thing he noticed had knocked her breasts free of the top, letting them hang free and exposing her nipples.
To Velvet, he gave a nod, before glancing down, then quickly looking away, the feathers around his throat fluffing out.
"Uh... you, uh...." Lifting a hand, he pointed at her chest. "You might want to fix your top there."
Velvet blinked, then looked down. A gasp of surprise escaped her as she saw her exposed breasts hanging free. Quickly, she grabbed at her mounds, lifted them up, and pulled the small bit of fabric back over the nipples. She then gave the top a little tug to make sure it was properly in place.
Once the top was adjusted, her eyes glanced down, catching the front of the griffon's trunks, and the noticeable bulge the wet fabric clung to and outlined. He must have enjoyed the little show he had gotten.
Her thighs pressed together as she wondered what it looked like compared to a stallion's.
Another thought then occurred to her.
"Thanks," the mare said, taking a step away. Turning around, she bent over to pick up her dropped beach bag, letting Gallus get a good look at her ass. It was big, round, and thick. It looked so plump and inviting. It called to him. Asking, begging, for him to grab it. To squeeze it. To spank it until the mare moaned out.
Velvet took a step backwards, "accidentally" bumping her butt against the griffon's crotch. She could definitely feel how hard he was. Not that she was going to say anything about it. Instead, she would just stand up straight, pretend nothing happened, and keep walking.
...or...
As she resumed walking, Gallus picked up his towel, gave it a sharp snap to shake it out, and set it back down. Once done, he glanced toward the mare, wanting to check her out one last time before she was gone.
...except that she was not leaving.
After walking another couple of steps, Velvet stopped and pulled out her own beach towel. Back still to Gallus she bent over and carefully spread it out. Her tail lifted high and hips shifted back and forth as she worked, making her backside sway noticeably. Gallus caught sight of pink between the mare's legs, but could not be sure if he was seeing her suit, or catching a glimpse of something more intimate. Once satisfied, she sat down, pulled out a bottle of sunblock, and began applying it to her body.
With a shake of his head, Gallus turned away, pushing the thoughts aside. He laid back on his towel, closing his eyes and spreading his wings wide to dry out and enjoy the warmth of the sun against his body. As he did, the gentle heat sinking into him, he began to doze. Pictures of bare breasts and large, curvy butts drifted across his half-asleep mind.
"Excuse me."
His body jerked at the sound, waking him from his half-asleep state. Gallus turned his head, blinking up at the older unicorn mare.
"Sorry to interrupt," said Velvet, "but I was wondering if you could help me out." She held up the tube of sunblock. "Would you mind doing me?" She let out a gasp, then chuckled, bringing her free hand to her chest. "I mean my back. Would you mind doing my back for me?"
That was an incredibly embarrassing mistake. She could not believe that she had just said that.
"Sure," the griffon said, taking the bottle from her. As he opened the lid, she turned her back to him. Gripping the strings of her top, she pulled them out and down, exposing her upper half.
"What are you doing?" asked Gallus.
"Getting the top out of the way," Velvet said. She turned to look over her shoulder, and smirked. "I don't want to get lotion on it, but I don't want you to miss the spots that would be under the strings either." One eyebrow rose. "It's not a problem, is it?"
The griffon gave a shake of his head as the white goo plopped into his palm. This was no big deal. He had spread sunblock one someone's back before. Multiple times. It was easy enough to do. He just had to work the lotion through the coat, and into the skin underneath. No problem.
He reached out to press his palm between her shoulders, and started to massage the sunblock into the mare's back. As he worked, Velvet leaned back, pressing against him more, and let out small moans and whimpers of pleasure. One hand reached down and gripped his thigh, feeling the soft fur and firm muscle. Gently, she stroked along the inside, lifting the leg of his swim trunks as she slowly worked her way further and further up. The back of her thumb grazed the side of his erection through the fabric.
That was as close as she could get to feeling it, but at least it confirmed he had one.
As he worked further and further down, Velvet could not help but lean forward. When he hit the spot directly above her tail, it sent a thrill of pleasure through her body, ending directly between her legs.
"Thank you," Velvet said as she grabbed her top. She turned toward the griffon, letting him see her bare breast before slipping it back into her suit.
"There's a pier not far from here." Reaching down, she placed a hand directly on his bulge. "How about we head over there and I...help you out?" She winked as her fingers gave a gentle squeeze.
Gallus's shaft twitched under her touch, sending tingles of pleasure through him. His tail gave a flick and wings fluttered in response.
This was not entirely new to him. After he had helped defeat Cozy Glow and save Equestria, many of the other students were suddenly interested in him. Even more took interest when he rallied the griffons, and was vital in defeating not only Cozy Glow a second time, but Chrysalis and Tirek as well (including a few hens that had ignored or insulted him back when he was an orphan in Griffonstone). When he had joined the guard, he learned about "armor bunnies," which were not actually bunnies that were dressed little sets of armor, but creatures that wanted to have sex with guard members because they were in the guard.
He had even accepted a few times.
A part of him was reluctant to agree. After all, he was not a constantly horny teenager any more. At the same time, it had been a while since had been with anyone, and he was still a pretty young and virile tom. Plus, what were the chances of having an older woman hit on him like this again? This seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Alright," he said, giving a nod.
Velvet grinned and moved to stand. Then she tried again. The grin shrank, growing slightly embarrassed.
"Could you help me up?"
A chuckle escaped the griffon as he stood. Reaching down, he took a the woman's hand, and pulled her up. As she got to her hooves, he placed his free hand on her hip to keep her from stumbling. Velvet's own free hand reached out to grab the griffon's shoulder, giving a squeeze to feel the toned muscles underneath.
"Thanks," she said, letting her fingers slide down along his arm as she pulled away. Velvet turned and made her way down beach. As she walked, she put some extra sway to her hips, adding how much her butt shifted with each step. Her tail was held high and moved with her, attempting to spread the scent of her excitement and fertility as it had her ancestors long ago.
Gallus followed, feline tail lashing with excitement. His gaze kept drifting down to her chubby ass and thick thighs. It looked so soft. He wanted to grab it, squeeze it, even spank it. His hands clenched tight at his sides, partly because of what he was imagining, and partly because he was fighting the urge to cover the front of his shorts, which would draw more attention to the raging erection he had.
It was so hard, it felt like it would rip through the fabric.
A few minutes later, the two of them reached the pier. Twilight Velvet continued to lead the way, stepping under it first. Her ears perked and twitched as she walked, eyes searching to see if any others had come under as well. There were liquor bottles, cigarette butts, some used condoms, and even someone's bikini bottom, but no other creatures.
As Gallus followed, he stopped, looking at the condom in the sand.
"I didn't bring any protection," he blurted out as soon as he realized it.
Velvet stopped, turned to look at him, then started laughing. Stepping toward him, she placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I doubt you could get me pregnant," she stated, "and I know I'm STD free. You?"
"Yeah," he replied, giving a nod. He may not remember exactly when the last time he had sex was, but he knew he had undergone a full physical since then, and everything had come back clean.
The mare's eyes narrowed as her smile turned sultry. Stepping closer, she slid her hand down along his chest and stomach. As she reached the waist of his swim suit, Velvet shifted and slipped her thumb into the waist band.
"Now, how about we get a look at what you've got," she said as she pulled the trunks down. The griffon tom tensed, wings flaring out, but did not try to stop her. Her fingers wrapped around the length, giving it a stroke as she looked at it.
It was different from a stallion's. Especially the tip. It was not broad and flat like she was had seen before, but started off narrow and flared out, like an arrowhead or spear tip. There were also some sort of nubs along the length. It was no big deal when she stroked down toward the base, but when she stroked up, it pulled and scratched at her palm. Kind of created a pleasant tingle too.
Probably not something she would want to feel in her throat.
But it would probably feel really nice in a different part of her.
Velvet gave it one more stroke before letting go. At one of the pylons, she reached out with one arm, placing it against the wood as she bent over. Her legs shifted, spreading wider for better stability. With her free hand, she reached down to the crotch of her suit, and pulled it aside to reveal her glistening wet vaginal lips.
Gallus's heart pounded and dick throbbed with excitement and arousal. It was hard for him to believe that this was actually happening. Like it was a dream, and he was reaching the best part, which meant he would wake up any second. He reached out, and placed a hand on one thigh. Slowly, he stroked up along it, talons combing through the hair of her coat and teasingly scratching at her skin. Once he reached her hip, Gallus gripped it firmly, being careful not to accidentally hurt her. With his other hand he gripped his length, aiming the tip for the glistening wet nether lips.
Velvet let out a gasp as she was penetrated. eyes going wide before squeezing tight. It had been far too long since she had been penetrated by a real flesh and blood cock. Her grip on the pillar tightened as she pushed her hips back. She could feel the narrow tip slip into her wet depths easily, the thickening length spreading her wider and wider as it sank deeper and deeper.
The griffon's toned hips pressed against the mare's soft and plump backside, his entire length buried in her depths. It felt good. Admittedly, it was neither as long, nor as thick, as a stallion's cock, but it managed to touch her in all the right places.
As for him, Velvet's depths lived up to her name. Her walls were warm and soft, caressing every inch of him gently.
But as much as he would like to, Gallus could not simply stand there and enjoy it.
When the griffon pulled his hips back, it sent a shock of pleasure through the mare's body, making her cry out. The nubs that she had felt tugging and tickling the skin of her hand were now stroking at her inner walls, touching in places no stallion had ever touched before. It felt like they were pressing directly against every pleasure nerve in her depths. It was especially intense as they pulled at her vaginal lips.
For his part, Gallus moved slowly, both to allow the mare to get used to the feeling, and to make the pleasure last as long as possible for both of them. Once only the crown remained inside, he immediately thrust forward again. As he did, the mare pushed back, pressing back toward him.
Slowly, the rhythm sped up. Each thrust together was marked by the slap of Gallus's toned abs and hips against that soft, plump ass. Every time they moved apart, Velvet cried out in pleasure. Feminine fluids dripped from nether lips onto the sand, mixing with it and the salt water.
After some minutes of this, Twilight Velvet reached her climax. With a cry of pleasure she gave one last thrust backwards, pressing against the tom behind her. Vaginal walls clenched down on the strange cock inside her, squeezing around it. The increased tightness pressed the barbs against the sensitive flesh even more, leading it to be the most intense orgasm she ever had.
The sudden new tightness around his cock was enough to send Gallus over the edge. He pulled the mare back toward him hard as he thrust forward, burying his entire lengths in the velvety wet depths. His wings flared out wide as he let out a leonine snarl of pleasure. The shaft twitched and pulsed as it unleashed wad after thick wad of potent griffon seed. Each spurt was greedily sucked up into the mare's fertile womb.
As her orgasm came to an end, Twilight Velvet suddenly realized what she had done, filling her with shock and embarrassment. She was a grandmother! Both of her children were royalty! She should not be having sex, in public, with someone a third her age was beyond inappropriate.
She quickly pulled off the still climaxing griffon cock, letting the last few spurts land on her backside. One hand instinctively moved to wipe it away, while the other gripped at her bikini bottom to slip it back in place. She turned to face the griffon.
"Well this has been fun," Velvet stated, "but I really need to get going." She took a step, moving around and past him. "Enjoy the rest your day." She then took off, running as quickly as she could.
Between still being caught up in the pleasure of his own orgasm and the abrupt behavior change of the mare, Gallus needed a moment to process what just happened.
"HEY!" he cried out. As he turned to try and chase after her, his swim trunks wrapped around his knees, pulling his stride short and causing him to fall forward. A grunt escaped the tom as he hit the wet sand, knocking the air from his lungs. Once he recovered, Gallus let out a growl. Standing up, he quickly pulled his swim trunks back in place, and ran the way he had seen the mare go.
By the time he reached where they had dropped off their stuff, hers was gone.
MONTHS LATER
Gallus stood at attention, although not perfectly. His eyes shifted back and forth, following Princess Twilight Sparkle as she paced along the hall. His leonine tail lashed back and forth with sympathetic anxiety.
After the some-hundred plus time she paced past him, he could not resist it any longer.
"The new groove is coming along well," he stated.
The princess came to a stop, turning to look at him with one eye.
"Something you want to say?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Just noting you have been walking the exact same spot for the last fifteen minutes now... ma'am."
Twilight Sparkle let out a sigh, her shoulders slumping a little, and wings giving a flicker.
"Okay," she said. "I'm a little anxious." She turned to face Gallus fully. "But can you blame me? My mother said she has something important she wants to tell me face to face. I can't help but be a little worried about what it is."
"She must think it's something good," Gallus replied. "Otherwise she would have told you immediately. Right."
"I know. On a conscious level, I know that." Twilight wrapped her arms around herself, looking down at the ground. "But, at the same time, I can't help but worry."
Even after being her student, and now her guard, it still amazed the griffon how the princess could be. She could stare down threats to the kingdom, and not blink. She could go head to head with the most stubborn of foreign dignitaries, and talk circles around the nobles. The mare knew every law by heart, and not only repeat them, but every subsection, clause, modification, and all dates related.
Yet when it came to individuals that she knew and cared about, she was one of the most nervous, worried, and neurotic individuals he knew. There were even times when he felt like she was a mother to him.
Not that he would ever admit the last part out loud.
Before he could say anything out loud, the doors opened, revealing one of the numerous pony guards that worked the castle.
"Your highness," the new guard said with a small bow of his head, "your mother has arrived."
Twilight's anxiety disappeared as she perked, tail flicking with excitement.
"Send her in," she ordered.
Gallus turned toward the door, curious as well. He had never actually met Twilight Sparkle's mother before.
At least that was what he believed, until a familiar looking white coated unicorn mare with white and purple hair stepped into the room.
And judging from the new swell of her belly, he could guess what the "something important" was.
