Another Cold Night

A dim glow seeped through Harmonic's eyelids. The white noise of the heater soothed him in his hypnagogic state. He felt something stroke his shaft.

"Morning." his wife spoke softly.

"Morning," He replied with a weary smile, "What time is it?"

"It's a little after two."

"Early bird catches the worm, huh?"

"Thought you'd appreciate some help with your little problem."

"Thanks."

"Happy birthday, babe."

Atmospheric kissed her husband's cheek.

"Since you're awake, how about we have a little fun?" she suggested.

"Took the words right out of my mouth."

"I could use something in mine."

"I think that can be arranged."

Harmonic began tenderly caressing his bride's lips, and she did the same in kind. They adjusted their position into something better suited for intimate contact. Atmospheric trailed down from Harmonic's chest to his stomach. She reached her hooves toward his shoulders, allowing him to reciprocate her affection.

Even after a year of consistent lovemaking, it felt strange for Harmonic to receive a blowjob from his significant other. Part of it may have stemmed from his childhood trauma, but there was another reason he couldn't quite identify. To some extent, he felt undeserving of the attention. Still, if she insisted, he wasn't going to argue. From his perspective, he was being serviced by the most gorgeous mare on the planet. The ego boost alone was worth disregarding his reservations.

"How are you liking your birthday present so far?"

"It's fucking awesome."

"I know you've been stressed the last few days."

"Yeah. Things should be winding down soon, though."

"I know you're looking forward to that."

"I am."

"Why don't you let out some of that aggression?"

"How so?"

Atmospheric whispered into her husband's ear.

"I want you to break me...That is, if you think you can..."

Harmonic tensed. Chills ran down his spine. Sure, they'd experimented with rougher stuff before, but always with a certain degree of restraint. Her request this time, however, was distinct.

"The abuse you went through when you were little triggered something in you. You were taken advantage of by people you thought were your friends."

"I was deceived in more ways than one. That's why I don't really like talking about it much. They didn't force me into it like the stories you see a lot on TV and social media."

"You've been conflicted about it ever since, haven't you?"

"It didn't feel bad at the time, ya know...?"

"It wasn't supposed to. That was the point. They thought you would keep quiet if they simulated the real thing."

"Well, luckily that backfired big time."

"You saved a lot of kids in your town from going through the same thing. You should be proud."

"Unfortunately, it left me with a craving for harder sex later down the road, whether it was vicariously through porn or my own explorations."

"That's why I offered to let you indulge. Once you get it out of your system, your urges should subside, at least for a little while. Who knows, maybe I'll enjoy it more than you think."

"Yeah?"

"You know better than anyone I'm more resilient than I look. Forget all that other stuff. I vowed to spend the rest of my life by your side. I sure as hell don't mind getting you off every now and then."

"You say that like it's so simple."

"It can be. Just shut up and have your way with me. You'd be amazed how much easier life becomes when you throw caution to the wind under the right circumstances."

Harmonic chuckled and sighed.

"Screw it. May as well try anything once, right?"

"That's more like it."

Atmospheric kissed her lover.

"No more dwelling on the past."

Harmonic nodded.

Harmonic straddled his wife, letting her relax her body in a comfortable position. She rested against the headboard while he aligned his cock with her muzzle. He twitched and throbbed in anticipation.

"You ready?" he asked. He could barely contain the animal lurking under his skin.

"Go for it."

Harmonic grabbed Atmospheric's mane, pulling her onto his dick with surprising force. He thrust as hard as he could, brutally fucking her throat without a single concern.

Atmospheric's body involuntarily resisted at first. The sudden shift in momentum triggered her mind's fear response. She realized her husband hadn't been exaggerating about the depths of his suppressed desires. However, as she became accustomed to the situation, her mind began to wander. This was the first time Harmonic had adopted a truly dominant persona. By all appearances, she was at his mercy, and yet...

Harmonic felt his wife grab his hips. She began to assist in his unyielding assault, pulling him as deep as their combined efforts could manage.

"Fuck, you're awesome..." the stallion muttered.

"Mm!"

Harmonic raised his hooves to the top of the frame, letting his wife assume control. He felt himself approach the edge. With several more hard thrusts, he convulsed, shaking ferociously as he unloaded into Atmospheric's maw. His orgasm was so overpowering he couldn't move, not that he wanted to.

Atmospheric closed her eyes upon feeling her husband's seed flood her body. By far, it was the strongest climax she had ever elicited from him. Seeing how he trembled under her pretense of submission brought her a great deal of sadistic satisfaction. His hate-fueled lust summoned a new, carnal sense of excitement within the core of her own being.

Harmonic pulled back. His cock was drenched in saliva. He used the generous lubrication to rub out three more spurts across Atmospheric's face and mane.

"You're like a horny teenager."

"Still think you can keep up?"

"If that's all you've got, I won't even break a sweat."

Harmonic silenced her with a shove back into her mouth.

"Keep up that attitude, I can't be held responsible for what happens."

The threat was hollow of course. She knew he would never actually hurt her. She relished in the true meaning of his words. Her eyes revealed the true motivation behind her actions, a motivation she knew they both shared.

"I love you, babe..."

Atmospheric impaled herself on her husband's erection. He pulled on her haunches with unrelenting vigor. She rewarded his tenacity with a provocative pose. He pulled back her mane. She hissed in a mix of pain and pleasure. This only served to encourage the ravenous beast pinned beneath her.

"My turn." Harmonic growled. He rolled over, throwing his wife onto the mattress. He rammed into her, biting her neck just hard enough to leave a mark. He firmly gripped the sheets beneath them.

Atmospheric wrapped her forelegs around her husband's back. Every muscle in his body was tensed to the max. He needed her more than the very air that filled his lungs.

"Tell me what you'd do for me, baby!" the mare pleaded.

"I would burn heaven to ash for daring to curse you with mortality."

The couple's journey through depravity ended with a kiss. Harmonic couldn't contain himself any longer. He filled Atmospheric's womb with liquid acid: the same womb that bore his children thrice before. The world of their own creation slowed to a standstill.

"God, you're incredible." Harmonic spoke. His tone was an unusual blend of praise and gratitude.

"It took you this long to figure that out?"

"Old habits die hard."

"I guess so."

"Anyway, it looks like you're still in one piece."

"You owe me big time for this one."

"Absolutely."

"You can start by helping me get cleaned up."

"I'll go get the shower ready."

"Good boy."

Harmonic gave his wife a contented smirk. He left the room, stepping into the hall. In the back of his mind, he was already scheming...
