Gruff
By Celestia
Art by Refined Figure

The first time I met him was at the Summer Solstice celebration. A pony merchant who trades with Griffonstone introduced him. Gruff. The name fits him. He loves to be grumpy and has a temper as bad as any griffon I’ve met, but he has a confidence and natural leadership that I haven’t seen in a griffon for a long time.

It’s fun to watch his personality clash with his interest in me. Even when we first met, I could tell he wanted more than just a casual meeting with Equestria’s princess. He stumbled a lot when trying to be nice or polite. I pointed it out a few times, and he seemed even more encouraged by my direct approach. He was speechless when I invited him to my private quarters for lunch, but I felt wild after the exuberance of the morning festival. And it had been too long since I enjoyed a fine griffon.

Our lunch date started out quite formal, but I eventually got him to relax. He kept poking around with questions. He suspected there was some catch or something I wanted out of the meeting. There was, but I wanted him to figure it out slowly. We played our little game of questions. As my hints got closer to my desire, he understood what I wanted quite clearly, but he still wouldn’t let it go.

“Surely there has to be some price to share a bed with Equestria’s princess. But name it. I’m willing to pay.”

“The price is never the same, so I shall have to think of what it should be. For you, I’ll keep it simple. You shall do all in your power to fulfill a future favor that I ask of you.”

“That’s a risky price. You could ask for everything I have.”

“I think it would be a risk worth taking.”

My lifted tail exposed a view that had him transfixed. His exotic griffon shaft was quickly growing hard.

“A day with a princess can’t normally be bought, so it’s a risk I’ll be happy to take.”

I can’t remember the specifics of our conversation after that. He was a large griffon in both senses of the phrase. He was quickly teasing me with the soft barbs on his tip while holding my mane in his beak. His talons stroked my body before he claimed me.

His lovemaking was fierce and possessive with a hint of impatience. He stretched me with a few quick thrusts before I felt his lovely knot trying to push in. I wiggled and pressed back against him and enjoyed every moment of his knot grinding against one of my favorite spots.

He pulled my hips tight against him, and his thick knot popped inside me. It was overwhelming in a very good way. He gave one more series of rapid thrusts before stopping as his load filled me with its thick warmth.

Sex with a griffon is amazing and passionate, but so is the pleasant afterglow. His knot was stuck for a while, so he preened my wings and kissed the back of my neck.

“That was good enough that I’ll give you two for the price of one,” I said, half serious and half joking. “But you’ll have to agree to keep this quiet. I have some time open tonight.”

“You’re so elegant, so soft, so lovely. I’d be a fool to say no. I agree to your price, my lovely princess.”

“And I won’t let anyone know about these lovely compliments you’re giving me. We can’t let the others think you’ve gone soft.”

I chose that moment to pull off his knot. I felt it tugging against me. With a wonderful pop, it slipped out. The mess left behind started to drip down my flanks. I loved that feeling, and I loved teasing Gruff with a series of licks and kisses on his cock as I started to clean him up.

Gallus hadn’t noticed his paw slipping down to rub his shaft, but he did after he put the book down. He teased the fuzzy edges of his sheath and fingered his knot.

Am I really getting hard over Grampa Gruff’s old fling?

The story was very sexy, and the accompanying pictures of Gruff in his prime taking Celestia were even better.

If only those jokes about the princesses taking advantage of their guards were true.

He laughed and tried to think of how Princess Twilight might act. He could imagine her taking very precise measurements and trying to find exactly where it felt the best when she did different things.

Damn. I hope Silverstream is ready for some fun when I get home. I can’t be thinking about my boss like that.

Gallus’s ears perked up as he heard the muffled sound of a teleport spell nearby. He adjusted his position to hide his erection right before the secret passage spun slowly around.

Celestia walked in. She was wearing a large sun hat and had a bag full of the sort of things one would take on a hike.

“Phew. I’m glad it’s just you, Gallus. But I’m equally surprised that my alert spell and this room survived the battle.” She looked him over and smiled. “I see you’ve been enjoying my old intimate journals.”

Gallus stammered as he tried to answer. “I-I was just curious when I found a new secret room!”

“Certain parts of you say it’s more than that.”

He blushed as he realized his tip was still very visible.

“The stories and art are very good,” he admitted. “But I’m curious about one thing. What favor did you ask from Grampa Gruff?”

“I asked him to send someone to Twilight’s school. So, in some ways, I helped you get where you are today. But you deserve all the real credit. I only opened doors. It’s you and your friends who put in the hard work and made the best of the opportunity. It’s sad that Gruff got so old and grumpy. It’s been too long since I’ve had fun with a sexy griffon.”

His heart started to beat faster. Her eyes had a lustful hunger and playfulness.

“I’d have to make sure Silverstream was okay with it first.”

Celestia laughed and levitated the third book. “Did you get to one about me and Queen Novo? My hooves certainly know how to please a cute hippogriff, too. Since you’re still on duty, I could go get Silverstream.”

“That sounds… amazing!” Gallus smiled. “Do you want me to do anything with these books or this room?”

“Leave them here for now. I’ll move them later. It’ll be fun to tease Luna and see her expression when I show her some of these. I’ll just have to add a secret room to the library in our retirement villa. Anyway, excellent work in finding these again. I’m sure you’ll enjoy my reward for it very soon. Stay here. I’ll be right back.” Celestia winked and turned. Her lifted tail revealed her slick and luscious pink vulva. She vanished with the distinct pop of a teleport spell.

Author's Note

I'm working on the last few scenes for the final chapter, which will also be the longest one. That should be coming soon. This wasn't really meant to be a long story or in depth view of all of Celestia's many encounters. The retired princess also prefers to make new memories.
