For the rest of their time in Rosière, Nocturnus, and Mokata took what was left of it to enjoy the last bits of the Pink Moon Festival. While they enjoyed some of the livelier things, they decided to take things easy for others. From painting to playing music, and playing innocent little games with the children there. This last activity was the favorite of both Crusaders, even more so due to how lovely the youngsters were. Parents certainly took great pleasure in seeing their little ones coddling the equines much to their embarrassment. Some did get carried away, but it wasn’t anything Mokata and Nocturnus couldn’t handle.

Eventually, the duo had their fill and decided to resign for the time being. Both worked up quite a sweat during the second half of the festivities and wanted to freshen up. It was made more apparent by the residents who covered their noses from the smell they gave off. To their credit, none of them outright said they did smell. Probably not to make them feel more embarrassed during their walk back to their hotel. Not that it really worked in the end.

It felt like an hour of walking and getting looks of discomfort before Nocturnus and Mokata made it to their hotel. Neither wanted anything more than to get their sweat off them. Something they went about doing as soon as they got into their bathroom. Any thoughts of being uncomfortable with bathing in the same tub together were practically nonexistent. Only ones of getting as clean as possible filled their heads, squashing any feelings of embarrassment over it. Little did the two realize what it would lead to? Or just what kind of end it would bring to their night.

“How is the bathwater Nocturnus?” Mokata asked as she used her hooves to spread the soap around her mane. “Is it at the right temperature for you?”

Nocturnus, whose head hanging back on the tub’s edge, lifted it up to look at the mare that sat in front of him. “Yeah, the water is fine. No need to worry about it being too hot or cold. I’m actually feeling really nice right now.”

“Really? That’s good,” Mokata said, smiling happily. “I was worried you wouldn’t be able to take it. I was in such a rush that I didn’t pay attention to how warm or cool it would feel.”

“Hey, it’s alright Mokata. It isn’t like it was that hot,” Nocturnus said carelessly. “I’m more focused on whether or not this soap we’re using will help or not.”

“I think it is. The Hotel Owner told us this soap is the best one found in Rosière,” Mokata assured, pressing the soap together as if making a sculpture. “It’s supposed to leave your body fresher than a dress made from the finest of silk and smelling better than a pie straight out of the oven. That’s what the label said on the soap at least.”

“While I don’t think it’ll work that well, I can feel the effects this soap is having on me,” Nocturnus added, the sweet scent of the soap flowing into his nose. “Applejack or Rarity would completely agree to how it would make them feel or smell based on how your description.”

Mokata blushed. “You think so?”

“I’d have to be a complete doofus not to. Applejack loves herself some apple pie, and if we know Rarity, she loves a beautiful dress,” Nocturnus said confidently. “Given how they are with those things, I don’t doubt those are the ways they’d describe this soap.”

All of the bathroom walls echoed with Mokata’s giggling. She and Nocturnus did know Applejack and Rarity long enough to know what they liked most. Meals having apples for the former and dresses of the fashionableness for the latter. It could be said that neither would be interested in things like soap since it was only used for bodily care. True as it was, they could also be seen believing it to leave them smelling like the things they were most known for. Even if it would lead them to argue over it. It wasn’t certain if it would make them like soap more, but it would make them feel more like themselves.

“I sort of feel the same,” Mokata murmured. “I wonder if Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom would think the same if they tried this soap. They are pretty similar to Rarity and Applejack while still being different in their own way. Maybe we could check out one of the essential stores here and find out if there’s soap like this for the rest of the CMC.”

“We’d have to do it for the others too if we did, but they may get jealous,” Nocturnus advised. “I’m not saying we shouldn’t do it. Just not now. We’ve already gone far enough in spending our bits on gifts for them and dining. I’d rather not blow it the rest of it away.”

“I-I know! It was just a suggestion!” Mokata quickly reiterated, waving her hooves as if she was holding a pair of maracas. “I’m sorry if it made it seem like we should spend more. I know how you are with wanting to save as much as possible.”

“I knew what you meant. I was just explaining what would’ve happened if we were to do that now,” Nocturnus stated calmly. “Maybe we could have a talk with them about coming here to do that and everything else we did. With the history some of us have with the Queen though, that is going to be easier said than done.”

“Let’s leave that for future Mokata and Nocturnus to handle,” Mokata said meekly. “Something tells me the others won’t set foot in here of their fruition for a while. We should stick to it being us for now and give them extra time. However long that will take.”

“Not for a long time no doubt,” Nocturnus said, his eyes closing in unenthusiastic anticipation for the future task. His nose expanded to let a sigh fly out of them as his lips pulled themselves back into a smile. “Future attempts for Rosière Crusader Trips aside, I did have fun here tonight. I think I can say with confidence this is the best Hearth’s Warming I’ve had.”

“Me too. I didn’t think it’d go in the direction it did. I was prepared for it to be quiet and uneventful, but for it to go like this?” Light swirled around her eyes as tears began to emerge. “None of the Hearth’s Warmings I’ve had can come even close to this one.”

“I wouldn’t be so certain of that Mokata,” Nocturnus chuckled, one of his bat wings rising to wipe the mare’s face. “Fun as this trip to Rosière was, there is a possibility of an even funner one in the future. Whether it will happen during a special event I don't know. It doesn’t take away it not happening or outdoing the one we’re on right now.”

“Yes, I know,” Mokata agreed, letting the thestral wipe her incoming tears. “I was just expressing how this trip stood out from all of the others I took.”

‘Sounds like she’s excluding that one trip she and Fluttershy took to the Forbidden Jungle where they both met the latter’s current boyfriend,’ Nocturnus thought, deciding to keep that thought to himself. “It’s fine. All that tells me is how much of a good time you had here.”

“I did. All thanks to you Nocturnus.” Mokata confirmed, looking at her reflection inside the water. “You’ve done many things for me in the past, but this has to be the sweetest by far. I don’t know how I can ever repay you for this.”

“Not that I don’t appreciate the gratitude, I don’t think I’m the one that you should be thanking.” Nocturnus denied. “Fluttershy’s the one who deserves it. She was the one who set this whole thing up. You wouldn’t even be here with me if it wasn’t for her.”

“You mean I wouldn’t be here with you?” Mokata corrected gently like a parent correcting their still-learning-to-speak child. “You have a point in my sister starting this, but you played a part in making my night too. You offered me a ticket to go with you to the festival! If anything, you and Fluttershy should get my gratitude for how things turned out.”

“…Yeah, that’s true. I was just stating how I shouldn’t get all of the appreciation,” Nocturnus sighed. “Guess I should’ve been more straightforward in expressing that.”

“It’s okay Noctie. I understand what you meant to say,” Mokata assured understandingly. “I’ll be sure to give Fluttershy my thanks for letting you take me here. And find a proper way to repay you for making this night so amazing.”

“I have no doubt you will. No matter how much I try to decline,” Nocturnus stated, his words eliciting another giggle from the pegasus. His nostrils flared to let a sigh escape as he rose from the water, the liquid flowing down his damp fur. “Alright, I think that’s enough washing for me tonight. Are coming along with me?”

“I’m going to stay for just a bit longer,” Mokata replied, sinking further into the bathtub. “I want to make sure my dirt and sweat are all gone. I don’t want to still feel stinky by the time I’m done.”

“Okay, I’ll leave you to it then. Try not to take too long, okay? I don’t want to pay the Hotel Owner more than needed when we leave,” Nocturnus advised as he stepped out of the tub. “Our bits are halfway gone at this point from our spending. I still want to have enough to at least get back to Ponyville and not get stuck here.”

“I won’t long. I promise,” Mokata reassured. “It isn’t like I can stay here all night anyway. We do have something we need to address in the morning.”

“Don’t we know it,” Nocturnus agreed as he grabbed a midnight blue bathrobe that hung next to the tub. “I’m gonna go dry myself before I hit the hay. I’ll leave the light on so you can find your way out. Call me if you need anything okay?”

“I will. Have a good night,” Mokata replied as Nocturnus made his way toward the exit. “Don’t let the bedbugs bite~.”

Deciding not to reply, Nocturnus smiled, moving his head downward to give a nod as if to say she he wouldn’t. He then exited the bathroom, leaving a half-wet and half-dry trail of water behind him. Reaching the bed, he sat down on its edge and unwrapped the towel before putting it atop his head to rub at his mane. Humming suddenly floated its way into his batty ears, bringing him to the realization that Mokata was singing. Smiling to himself, the bat-winged stallion continued drying himself as the events that took place hours ago entered his mind.

‘Gosh, this was a pretty eventful night. I ever thought that there would be so much that would happen at one time. From seeing Rosière for the first time, to being up close and personal with vampires? It was a lot for two ponies to go through at once.’ Nocturnus thought. ‘I haven’t had this many things happen to me in a twenty-four-hour span since that party Queen Luna threw for me, the Crusaders, and our sisters over at Myskia. This is the second time I experienced something so different from the usual stuff that happens to me. Not that there is anything wrong with that.'

Pulling his towel from his head, Nocturnus turned his attention to his tail. ‘I didn’t think for a second that I’d do this with someone who was willing to go to Rosière. Let alone someone I've known since I was a foal. I don’t know if this was by some stroke of luck or if Nyx decided to take this night into her own hooves, but I’m grateful either way. I’m totally gonna have a bunch to tell when I’m back in Ponyville! This is the most of a good time that I’ve had in years since going to Ponyville! I can’t think of one single thing that could possibly ruin it!’

A scream like that of a foal waking up from a nightmare suddenly flew outside of the bathroom, followed by a wet thump of something hitting the floor. Nocturnus, who was lost in his daydreaming, found himself pulled out of his happiness at the sound biting into his ears. His head snapped forward knowing exactly where that sound had come from and to who it belonged.

‘Crap! I think I spoke too soon!’ Nocturnus thought as panic filled him. With speed equivalent to a gazelle, Nocturnus ran from the bed and towards the bathroom door. Careless about causing any damage to it, he swung it open, flying straight towards the tub.

“Mokata! Are you okay?!” He asked frantically. “I heard you scream! What… happened…”

Silence fell upon the bathroom like an owl soaring through the night as the incoming words died in Nocturnus’s mouth. No other sound or image entered his ears and came within his field of vision as he stared at the sight before him. Pressed up against the bathtub was Mokata, looking like she was attacked by a rabid dog. Her mane hung limp on her head, sticking to her neck and face while droplets of water dripped off. In Mokata’s right hoof, a brush was held in it, like she was trying to strike something.

Unexpected as this sight was, this was what Nocturnus’s eyes were currently glued on.

No. What he was eyeing was the vertical moist pink lips between Mokata’s hindlegs.

In a stretch of time that felt never-ending, Nocturnus stared at that spot. It was like that sacred bodily area was locking his mountain blue orbs in place, wanting him to look at nothing but it. Only when Mokata let out a squeak did Nocturnus begin coming back to reality. He had just enough time to see her confused face before her eyes followed where he was looking. A soft gasp left her as realization hit her, and her body shook as she slowly looked back up at the paling thestral.

M-Mokata...” He whimpered like a rabbit staring into the jaws of a wolf. “This isn’t what it-”

Nothing else managed to leave the stallion’s mouth as Mokata’s terrified scream cut him off. Her shower brush flew at him, hitting his forehead with the force of a zebra’s kick. Stars burst within his vision as quickly as the pain, preventing him from feeling it in his back while hitting the floor. World blackening, he caught Mokata standing over him, muzzle covered by her hooves and eyes filled with horror as if she had trampled over a deer. Just before losing consciousness, he asked a single question that drove the knife of guilt deeper into Mokata’s tender heart.

“Why…?”

Aching inside of his head was the first thing Nocturnus felt when he woke up from his unconscious state. Upon feeling the sharp pain in his head, a sharp hiss left his lips that helped confirm that he was still able to hear. He quickly managed to get past the headache and focus on opening his eyes to see if he could see. Nocturnus was immediately given his answer when he saw teary sea-green eyes looking down at him.

“Nocturnus! Thank Epona you’re awake!” A crack appeared in Mokata’s voice while expressing her relief. “Are you alright?!”

“Nngh… Mokata?” Nocturnus groaned, a hoof rubbing at his forehead. “What… happened?”

“Y-you fell unconscious,” Mokata explained. “It was after I… hit you with the shower brush.”

Nocturnus paused at the mare’s explanation, memories of the prior incident flapping back inside his mind. “Right...that. I kinda forgot it happened while I was out. Ugh, I can’t believe I went out the way I did.”

“I know, and I am so sorry!” Mokata cried, a couple of tears dripping from her eyes. “I was just so startled from seeing you in front of me after I slipped that I just…! I know you weren’t trying to peep at me! Please don’t be mad at me!”

“Whoa! Hold your horses Mokata! I’m not mad at you! Honest!” Nocturnus diffused, pressing his hoof against Mokata’s lips. “I mean, yeah. I’m kind of annoyed at what you did. But I’m not upset at you for reacting the way you did.”

Mokata sniffled, waiting until Nocturnus took away his hoof to speak. “R-really? You aren’t angry?”

“Other than with the fact you nearly cracked my skull open like a falcon folding a pigeon’s spine? No,” Nocturnus stated, wincing as a slice of pain pulsed through his head, as if for emphasis. “You didn’t hurt me as much as you thought, so I’ll be alright. Other than having a few headaches down the road.”

“Ah... that’s a relief. I really thought seriously I hurt you with the brush,” Mokata sighed as her emotions settled down.

“It hurt more than you think I can assure you, but it’s nothing I haven’t felt before. It’ll fade away in time.” Nocturnus sighed, letting his foreleg fall. “I’m just glad it’s the only thing I have to deal with right now.”

“I… wouldn’t be so sure about that Nocturnus,” Mokata murmured, face going red while looking to the side. “See…w-when I while I had you to the bed, I-I noticed something about your body.”

“Oh yeah? What would that be?” Nocturnus asked uninterestedly. “Did I get the wing boner that is famous among pegasi?”

“Y-yes, but it wasn’t just that…” More redness covered Mokata’s cheeks. “There was another part of your body I saw display itself. In the… lower regions.”

“Lower regions?” Nocturnus lay there in confusion for a couple of seconds, before a gasp left his fanged mouth. “Wait… y-you don’t mean-?!”

Face now redder than a colossal squid’s skin, Mokata shut her eyes, her head giving the tiniest of nods. Lifting a shaky hoof, she pointed to the left, right down to the spot where Nocturnus’s hind legs were. Gulping, he lifted his head and stopped upon seeing the tiny hole of his erection staring back at him.

“Oh. Fuck. Me.” He squeaked weakly.

“I didn’t notice it until after I got you onto the bed,” Mokata murmured, not daring to look at the organ. “I didn’t know what to do, so I let it be in hopes it would settle down.”

“Gleaming Fangs of Nyx!” Nocturnus cried, sitting himself up from Mokata’s lap and hiding his penis with his wings. “I’m so sorry Mokata! I… I didn’t mean for you to see this! I just… damn it!”

“It’s alright,” Mokata soothed. “It wasn’t like you planned for me to see it. It was just your body’s natural reaction to seeing me in the… position I was in.”

“It doesn’t make me less upset about it,” Nocturnus grunted bitterly. “It’s bad enough you saw it to begin with, but you had to keep doing so until I woke up. I know that it had to be embarrassing for you.”

Mokata’s eyes ran down Nocturnus’s grey back, lips pursing. “It doesn’t mean you’re at fault for instinctive reactions. It’s the same with any male creature when around a female. Knowing that, do you really think you should feel ashamed and angry at yourself for it?”

“…No, I shouldn’t,” Nocturnus sighed, wings lowering. “I’m still not happy it happened either way. Damn it, how in the hell am I gonna deal with this...?”

While Nocturnus stirred in the frustration of his situation, Mokata sat at a loss. No effort to look at her friend was needed to know how humiliating this was for him. It was the same emotion she felt when Nocturnus stared at the place only she let herself and a select few look. Unlike her, it wasn’t something that he could easily rid himself much less hide. Unless certain steps were taken, Nocturnus was undoubtedly going to have this bothering him for the rest of the night. A problem Mokata knew neither wanted to follow them for the rest of their time in this kingdom. At that moment, an idea rose into the pegasus’s mind that she’d never even think of if given a millennium to live.

Unimaginable as it was, Mokata could not think of anything else that would help her friend with his problem. It would also help her in satisfying a certain curiosity she had since hitting her teens and learning about a certainsubject. Nervous as she was about it, Mokata saw this as the perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Along with bonding with her friend in a more special and intimate way. Gathering all the strength she had, Mokata began her proposal to the thestral on how to help him. A proposal that, unbeknownst to them, would be the start of a brand-new relationship between them.

“I, um… think I may have an idea as to how you can… sate your hormones.” Mokata quietly said after a minute of silence.

“Really? You know what to do?” Nocturnus asked somewhat sarcastically. “Please enlighten then on what idea you have that will help me the ass that is my dick.”

Placing a hoof on the thestral, Mokata took in a breath, letting it softly flow out as she gathered the following words in her head. Looking right into his eyes, she blurted, “How about we have sex?”

Speechless, Nocturnus blinked at Mokata, his mind registering what had come out of her usually bashful mouth. He was tempted to pinch himself or even pick at his ears just to make sure he did not mishear her correctly. Fortunately for him, one stare into Mokata’s serious gaze was all that was required for Nocturnus to know he didn’t. His eyes slowly widened as her words finally sunk into his head and his jaw fell like a baby stork being evicted out of its nest.

“Y-you… want me… to have sex with you?!” He cried, fully turning around to face the mare. “A-are… are you serious?!”

“I am,” Mokata replied, not breaking her gaze away. “I know this is coming out of the blue, but… I do want to mate with you Nocturnus. Right here and now.”

Nocturnus gave a series of blinks. “I… wow. I did not expect you to propose something like that to me Mokata. I thought you were going to suggest something else that… I don’t know, didn’t really involve that?”

“I was just thinking the same thing,” Mokata said with a slight giggle. “Honestly, I’m surprised at myself that I’m suggesting this in the first place. I guess seeing you like this got me thinking about things I normally don’t.”

“Maybe… but I don’t think it’s that surprising, since you did see my dick hanging out like a sprout,” Nocturnus stated, giving a shrug. “If you don’t mind me asking, why do you want to do this? I feel there’s another reason you want to. Other than helping me.”

A tiny smile formed on the corners of Mokata’s lips. “…Yes, it isn’t just because of that. I’m also doing this because… I’m curious. About what it would be like to mate with someone. How it feels to take that step and connect with someone in ways that you haven’t felt before. It’s been on my mind since I learned about intercourse and… I thought maybe we could give it a try.”

“…So, because you’re interested in what sex is like, and you want to help me not feel horny until morning, you want to do it?” Nocturnus asked slowly, wanting to make sure he got everything in order. “Now that is a reason to propose it if I’ve ever heard of one.”

“I can imagine…” Mokata giggled before a shy frown replaced it. “So, what do you say Nocty? Do you want to… do it with me?”

Nocturnus hesitated. “I’m not sure. It’s not that I don’t like the thought of mating with you, but… losing your virginity is a big step. It’s not something you just give away to someone. You won’t be able to get it back. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.”

“I know. It is something I should take seriously. But I’ve thought about this and I want to take this chance while I still can,” Mokata murmured. “You’re my best friend too, Nocturnus. I wouldn’t suggest this if it was with a stranger, but since it’s you, I feel at more ease about sex for the first time. We won’t do it if you don’t want to, but… I would like it if we did. If that’s alright with you.”

No reply was given from the bat-winged equine immediately. Touching as Mokata’s words were, he was still a bit reluctant to do this. It would be a lie if he said that he didn’t want to mate with the gentle pegasus. Even more, if he were to say that she wasn’t the most beautiful out of the six of his main friends. None of it meant he wasn’t afraid of how this would turn out or what it would mean for their relationship if he agreed. From what his parents told him, not all friendships lasted or remained the same after sleeping with each other. While some did remain the same, and even grow into something more, it usually didn’t end as well as thought.

Nocturnus had no doubt that sleeping with Mokata would be nice, but he also knew the risks that came with it. From their relationship no longer being what it was or dying completely, either one would be bad. Even if it let them bond in ways they didn’t, it wouldn’t be worth it if a fallout came afterward. Yet, there was something in him telling him to take the chance. He didn’t know what it was, but a feeling inside him screamed to take the plunge, or he would regret it forever. It sat in the thestral, twisting in his stomach the more it was allowed to before he made his decision.

“And you’re sure about this?” Nocturnus asked, his soft voice guiding Mokata out from her patient waiting. “You’re absolutely certain you want to go this route? In spite of the risks?”

“I’m sure,” Mokata concluded, staring at the thestral with resolute eyes. “It’s risky I know, but I feel we should do it anyway. I’m not sure why, but that’s what I’m being told… and that I’ll regret it if I don’t.”

‘So… she was thinking the same thing that I was… I guess I wasn’t alone in it after all.’ Nocturnus thought, feeling his anxiety dissipate. Once certain he was all the way back calm again, he smiled at his foalhood friend and replied, “Alright then… let’s do it.”

Beaming brighter than Christmas lights, Mokata smiled, her tail wagging behind her at her request being accepted by her friend. Her expression and movements then eased as her cheeks took on a soft pink. Reaching out, she cupped Nocturnus’s face and leaned forward, taking him off guard when her lips pressed against his fanged ones. Instantly, Nocturnus’s carnal desires awoke, and he found himself returning the gesture. Moans escaped their lips as their faces burned, tongues dancing like cobras dancing to music. It was at least twenty seconds before they parted, feeling their lungs sucked in the newly accessible air.

“Wow…” Mokata whispered, looking a bit dazed. “That was just… amazing~.”

“I know right? Pretty intense for a kiss between friends, huh?” Nocturnus agreed with a grin.

“Very.” Mokata nodded with a blush. “Was that your first kiss?”

“My very first one. I can tell that it was yours too.” Nocturnus replied as he licked his lips. “You were still pretty good. Your lips felt soft and warm. Like a syrup-coated pancake.”

Mokata laughed quietly. “Your kiss felt nice too. It’s like I was tasting some fruit I never tried for the first time. You really like fruit, don’t you?”

“Hey, I’m a thestral. Drinking fruit is in our blood.” Nocturnus chuckled proudly. “I gotta keep my body healthy if I wanna live my whole six centuries.”

“Mhm, and your results are certainly showing~.” Mokata praised, patting the stallion’s head.

Grabbing both of Nocturnus’s shoulders, she shifted them and gently pushed him back till he was positioned as to where his head would touch the pillow. Without any encouragement, Nocturnus laid back on the bed, parting his wings so that Mokata could see his pulsing penis. Any pinkness that covered her face became a deep crimson at seeing the blue organ pointed right at her.

“Oh my! It’s so big and hard.” She said quietly, a green hoof reaching out to run down the fleshy appendage. Nocturnus flinched at the contact but stayed quiet as Mokata examined it closely. “It feels so hard in my hooves. You must be really excited…”

“I have to be if it made me like this.” Nocturnus replied, gesturing to the state of his cock. “I did see you in a pretty awkward position five minutes ago.”

“True. I still blame myself for that.” Mokata said awkwardly. “I do plan on making it up to you in full, and I know just how to do it~.”

Extending her tongue out, Mokata ran it along the tip of the stallion’s cock. Precum that was coating its head stuck to the yellow mare’s tongue like a fly in a flytrap. Her slow and gentle licking immediately grew a cute squeak from the colt, before a moan just as adorable left his lips. Mokata gave it no heed and continued to lick from the head, all the way down to the pulsing veins. When she got back to the top, she noticed that there was still some precum left, and proceeded to lick it off.

“Mokata~! Your tongue feels so warm and wet!” Nocturnus gasped, feeling himself melting under his foalhood friend’s sexual touch. “Is this what a blowjob feels like?”

Mokata stopped her licking. "From what I read in Twilight’s Bookstore; this is how it's supposed to be done.” She replied, keeping the cock in her hooves. “Do you… want me to stop?”

Nocturnus’s objection was immediate.

“NO! No! Don’t stop!” He begged, with a whimper. “Keep going… please?”

Mokata beamed down at him and gladly proceeded to continue licking and running her tongue up and down Nocturnus’s cock. Her hooves helped her in pleasuring the colt as she jerked his rock-hard penis off at the same time. He was about to look up to watch her, only to gasp when she took his cock in her mouth, starting from the tip. Warmth rubbed at Nocturnus’s penis as Mokata began to suck him off, using a hoof to keep her mane back. Despite it being so big, it didn’t stop her from giving him her oral service. It certainly served to add to the pleasure that Nocturnus felt. Vocalized by his low moans and squeaks.

“Whoa… that feels amazing Mokata!” Nocturnus grunted with a lip bite. “Please…! Please keep going! I can't get enough of it!”

Hums were the only response Mokata gave as she bobbed her head back and forth. More of Nocturnus’s cock entered her throat, so much so that she could feel it bending in the back of it. She felt the private organ pulse inside her mouth in response, but it didn’t bother the pegasus. Tentatively, Mokata pulled her head back, letting Nocturnus feel every inch of her mouth through his cock. He watched as she stopped just at the head before plunging back down, gulping it like a snake swallowing a mouse.

I can’t believe it! Mokata’s actually managing my entire penis! She’s taking it like she’s licking a popsicle!’ Nocturnus thought in amazement. ‘Did she prepare herself for this or something? Cause it looks like she knows what she’s doing!’

As if reading her friend’s thoughts, Mokata looked up at him, batting her eyelashes in a way that conveyed thankfulness. Nocturnus smiled sheepishly but gave no comment as she continued to blow him for all he was worth. He could feel every mushy and slimy part of her throat, and the warmth, tightness, the unrelenting pleasure it gave him. All the vibrations that she sent through his member didn’t help matters either. More like it did the exact opposite. It made his head spin wildly, serving to make him want it more. Much more.

Mokata was in a similar state if her burning red cheeks and blissful expression were any indications. Her entire throat was filled to the brim with her friend's large horsecock, and it made her wet the more she took it in. She didn’t even need to let her teeth graze over it to let him know just how hard he was. Not that she’d dare do that anyway. Another thing she noticed was how tasty he was, which made her feel stupid for thinking he wouldn’t before she began blowing him.

‘Then again, it could be because Nocturnus is just lucky.’ She thought to herself. ‘I’m pretty sure there aren’t many other stallions as tasty as he is.’

Right on the ending cusp of Mokata thinking that she heard her coltfriend hiss. The sound was so sharp she briefly thought he was hurt. Before she could even attempt to pull out, he immediately soothed her worries. “Shit! Momo… I’m about to cum! Damn it, I’m cumming!”

Going wide within the eyes, Mokata grabbed Nocturnus’s hips as he leaned forward and gripped her head. She moved her head this way and that, in a desperate effort to make him release. The mare braced herself for the taste of his semen to blanket her tongue, but it never came. For one moment, she was confused, but upon feeling something enter her belly, it dawned on her that Nocturnus was filling her stomach. Pulling back, Mokata was immediately blessed with the wonderful taste of the thestral’s semen entering her mouth.

‘So… much.’ She thought, her eyes rolling back as she eagerly gulped it down.

In the middle of Mokata’s task, Nocturnus slumped back, pulling his cock out of her mouth, much to her chagrin. He was quickly forgiven as the last remaining spurts entered her open maw, with even more landing on her face. After the final stream hit her muzzle, Nocturnus collapsed onto the bed, panting heavily from exhaustion.

“Wow... that was incredible~.” He said in between pants, his brain finally working again. “I can’t believe how good that felt!”

“Me neither. I’ve never experienced anything like that before,” Mokata asked, licking the last of the cum off her hooves. “You let out so much in my mouth. I thought it was going to gush out.”

“I thought I was gonna pass out from how you blew me,” Nocturnus added with an exhale. “You took a lot out of my there!”

Mokata giggled. “I bet it did. I’m sorry if I overwhelmed you. I got too caught up in the fun of my task.”

“It’s alright. It’s not like I don’t do the same during my private time.” Nocturnus shrugged. “That blowjob was amazing. You were a lot better at this than I thought.”

“Me too… I figured I was going to do bad at it and you wouldn't like it.” Mokata agreed, a relieved smile spreading on her muzzle. “I’m glad I made it into something you enjoyed.”

“You can bet I did.” Nocturnus nodded with a wink. “You want to have your turn now?”

A tingling sensation stirred in Mokata as this question was asked, and she felt her hindlegs quiver in response to it. Her face once again became a place of residence for blushes and she nodded at the thestral ever so slightly. She watched as Nocturnus crawled down her right, allowing the mare to take his place on the bed. Her hindlegs parted slowly, to reveal a practically sopping wet crotch, their rosy-pink color glistening in the hotel light. It winked every split second as if it was another pair of lips that begged to be kissed. Above them were two grapefruit-sized teats with deep green nipples pleading to be suckled. Liquid leaked from them, flowing down Mokata’s inner thighs and mixing with the juices leaking out of her virgin pussy. It flowed onto the covers of the bed, staining the covers as the smell drifted for Nocturnus to inhale.

“Wow... so this is your private area.” Nocturnus murmured in wonder. “It’s bigger than I thought it’d be…”

“Probably because it’s the real thing…” Mokata guessed, deciding not to think about what he was getting at. “Is it to your liking?”

“All of that and more.” Nocturnus complimented, inhaling her sweet musk. “You have a nice scent coming from you. It makes me want to drink from you like you’re a ponified fruit.”

“W-well, technically you can… there is a pair of fruit in front of you.” Mokata said in an extremely poor attempt at dirty talk. “I doubt anything is going to come out though…”

Nocturnus chuckled. “Won’t know unless we see it for ourselves!”

Before Mokata had any time to register it, Nocturnus immediately went right for her two massive mounds. His lips latched onto the nipples as he mashed both teats together, his tongue running across them as he gave them greedy sucks. Mokata gasped at how quick he was to dive right in but gave no protest as she let Nocturnus feed on her like a nursing baby. She watched as he grabbed her hind legs and held them to his cheeks, feeling his teeth graze the soft skin. Mokata squeaked as he began to pull them but giggled as Nocturnus began twirling her teats around with his mouth.

"Mokata, your milk tastes incredible. It’s like I’m drinking from the baskets and bowls of fruit that my Mom keeps in her kitchen.” Nocturnus breathed as he pulled away. “What do you eat to make your milk taste this good?!”

Mokata smiled bashfully. “I… don’t do anything special. I just eat what will help me grow healthier. I guess I just happened to be one of the lucky ones.”

‘Or one of the ponies that Faust decided to grace with her blessing.’ Nocturnus thought, laughing at the pegasus’s answer. “Well, it looks like you’re right in that regard. Now you have somepony who can indulge in it for as long as you want them to.”

“Y-you’re just saying that~,” Mokata said shyly, one of her wings hiding her face.

“Am I?” Nocturnus smirked, lowering his muzzle to her vaginal lips. “Let’s find out!”

Flicking his tongue out like a Komodo Dragon sniffing out a Water Buffalo, Nocturnus dove straight into Mokata’s pussy. His tongue immediately began going to work at licking and poking at every single inch of her soaking wet cunt and spiking her most sensitive areas. A cry of surprise and pleasure escaped the mare’s mouth, and she threw her head back to release a high-pitched moan that sounded more like a squeak. Her back arched as her legs lifted up slightly from the air, having been freed from Nocturnus’s grip. Her moans soon began to mix with pants as Nocturnus’s tongue invaded her deep within her vagina, sending jolts of pleasure pulsing through her body.

“N-Nocturnus! Oh, Nocturnus!” Mokata whimpered, her hooves coming to grip either side of her pillow. "Sweet Epona! Your tongue feels so wonderful! I can feel it moving everywhere in me!” Sweat began rising on her forehead as her tongue lolled out like a dog recovering from chasing a frisbee. “Please don’t stop! Keep going!”

Nocturnus purred lowly, loving the moans and squeals of delight coming from his love. He closed his eyes and continued his work, plunging his tongue deeper into the confinements of Mokata’s love hole. He wrapped his lips around the lips of her clitoris, wanting to make sure he didn’t spill a single drop of his friend’s wonderfully tasting juices. He even went so far as to give a few suckles in the process, while still giving her wet walls plenty of rough licks. Mokata’s moans turned into sharp screams as her wings flared outward, her legs shaking in the thestral’s grip.

“Ah! Yes! Like that! Keep going like that, Noctie!” Mokata begged, her mouth hanging wide open as tears built up in the corners of her eyes. “More! Drive your tongue deeper into me!”

Nocturnus had to give Mokata’s lower lip another few suckles to keep himself from letting out a guffaw. While he doubted it would’ve harmed Mokata, maybe made her laugh even, he didn’t want to moment to be ruined. Instead, he just continued with his drinking of the fluids that were his friend’s juices and licking from the folds that were her pussy. The mare laying before him moaned up a storm as she drooled, feeling it running down her chin like a miniature waterfall.

‘My goodness! He’s driving me crazy!’ Mokata thought in her lust-addled mind. ‘I never imagined that somepony’s tongue inside of my folds would feel so good! I can only imagine what it feels like for Nocturnus’s dick to be inside of me!’

The pegasus’s ears were suddenly filled with the sound of muffled grunts, followed by the feeling of her hindlegs being pulled at. Looking down, she saw her hind legs wrapped tightly around the back of Nocturnus’s head, with his muzzle all but vanishing in her pussy. Realizing what she was doing, she immediately opened her legs up. Allowing Nocturnus to lift his head just enough to let his nostrils for some much-needed air.

“I’m so sorry Nocturnus! I didn’t mean to do that!” Mokata cried out in alarm. “Are you okay?”

Nocturnus inhaled a few more labored breaths as he finally got his breathing back under control again. He looked up at the mare’s worried expression but said nothing as the corners of his mouth curled a bit. Before Mokata could question him on that, his lips were enclosed around her vaginal lips and sucked hard. A loud squeal of pleasure left Mokata’s throat, her head shooting back as she fell back first on the bed. Nocturnus pushed her legs apart, letting them kick out while continuing to eat the pegasus out. His acts only made Mokata squeal louder, and she could do nothing but writhe around as Nocturnus ravaged her.

“Oh no... Nocturnus! I… I think I’m gonna cum!” Mokata wailed, tears flowing as her wings flapped wildly. Breathing in a huge lungful of air, she felt a buildup in her lower regions. “Oh, Epona! I’m cumming!”

A snort was what Mokata got as a response as Nocturnus drove his tongue to work to bring her to climax. Due to its length, he was able to dive deeper into her walls, right where her G-Spot was, and licked it with extreme roughness. Dots of white clouded Mokata’s vision as her orgasm hit its peak, cum gushed out in miniature waves. They crashed right into Nocturnus’s face as if it was seawater splashing against a rock, obscuring his vision and filling his mouth. His senses went into overdrive as he drank and lapped it up, taking in its rich taste that blessed his taste buds, and he took great pleasure in sipping as much as he could. The waves seemed to go on for hours, but it was only for a couple of minutes realistically. With one final squirt, Mokata went limp, panting as she tried to recover from her riptide of an orgasm.

Nocturnus shivered, his tongue running across his lips as they curved up from the tender taste of the pegasus. He soon felt that same smile on his face drop at seeing Mokata’s exhausted state. ‘Uh-oh… I may have gone a bit too hard on her.’

“Um… Mokata?” Nocturnus asked, his concerned side flaring up upon seeing her convulsing body. “A-are you okay?”

Mokata’s eyes swept up to meet the stallion’s. “I-I'm fine! I'm just… feeling so good right now!”

“…You are?” Nocturnus asked, taken aback. “You’re… not in pain or anything?”

“No... I was just overwhelmed,” Mokata replied, her writhing slowing. “I figured it would feel good but… I wasn’t expecting this.”

"I must’ve done a better job than I thought then,” Nocturnus murmured. “I had to have with all those squeals and cries you gave.”

“Mhm... I enjoyed that a lot,” Mokata nodded, wiping at her sweaty forehead. “You really are talented when you put your mind to it.”

“Not really. I’m just learning as I go along as all,” Nocturnus shrugged, making. “I guess you being so sweet makes you taste the same, doesn’t it?”

Heat erupted inside Mokata’s face at the cheesy compliment as a pregnant pause dived over the bedroom. Nocturnus quickly realized what he had done and looked away as well, twirling his forehooves and lowering his ears in embarrassment.

‘Smooth Nocturnus! Real fucking smooth!’

“I could say the same to you," She muttered as if she did not hear the comment at all. Her eyes then caught a wince of pain Nocturnus involuntarily gave off and concern filled her. “Is something wrong Nocturnus?”

Nocturnus glanced up at her with a pained smile. “No, It’s just… my penis is throbbing right now.”

“It is?” Mokata propped herself up on her elbows and looked down at Nocturnus’s cock. To her amazement, it had returned to its hard state. It also looked to be twitching even more violently now, precum all but pouring out of the tip like a faucet with no plug. “Oh…”

“I guess it got excited by my drinking,” Nocturnus guessed. “I didn’t even notice it leaking like this until now.”

“Yes, it does look harder than before,” Mokata said softly, her eyes becoming half-lidded as lust clouded them. “I think it’s time we both try to make it feel better now~.”

“Both of us?” Nocturnus asked as Mokata pulled him to her as if holding a tiny kitten. “Ah…you mean…”

Mokata smiled softly as she positioned his dick in front of her opening. “Time for the main course. Are you ready?”

“I think I should be asking you that,” Nocturnus replied as he cupped one of Mokata’s cheeks. “It is going to hurt you know. Are you prepared for that?”

“If it’s with you, I can handle anything,” Mokata crooned, gripping his shoulders. “Put it in.”

Needing no further prompting, Nocturnus thrust his hips forward, the tip of his rod sliding into Mokata’s snatch with ease. She gasped at the sensation of her pussy being filled beyond its limit, feeling stars dance within her vision. Pleasure rocked her body as she began to shake underneath Nocturnus, her grip tightening onto Nocturnus.

“Mokata! A-are you okay?!” Nocturnus asked, believing his friend was in pain. “Do you want me to pull out?”

Hearing those last words, Mokata shook her head wildly. “N-no! Please don’t! K-keep it in! It feels so wonderful!”

“It… it does?” Nocturnus asked, looking a bit stunned. “You’re not hurting?”

“N-no,” Mokata confirmed, breathing slowly to keep herself under control. “I-I just wasn’t expecting it to not hurt this much. I thought it’d be worse than what my sister told me. I suppose I'm just lucky.”

“Or Fluttershy just had a different experience than you when she got laid,” Nocturnus guessed with a little shrug as Mokata giggled. “Well… here I go!”

Lifting his hips, Nocturnus paused and brought them back down, hitting Mokata’s rump with a firm smack. Squealing at the movement, she was barely given any time to process it before it happened again. Nocturnus kept at it until he was soon thrusting into his friend at a rough, yet steady pace. His forehooves clutched at her barrel while his hips did their work in running his cock in Mokata over and over. Shutting her eyes, the pegasus’s cheek hit the pillow as her moans bounced off the walls.

“N-Nocturnus! You’re being so rough! You’re thrusting into me so aggressively!” She cried, opening one eye to look at him.

Nocturnus bit his lip. “I’m sorry! I can’t stop my hips anymore! You just feel so good inside that I couldn’t help myself!”

“It’s okay! Move however you want to!” Mokata encouraged. “I want you to feel good along with me! Don’t hold back for my sake! Be as rough as you like!”

Simultaneously touched and driven by her words, Nocturnus did just that. He moved his hips with all his strength, moving his dick as deep as it could go into Mokata’s inner walls. Wet smacks hit the duo’s ears as their thighs kissed, wetness staining their fur with each thrust. Mokata groaned as Nocturnus’s cock tip kissed her womb, her belly bulging with each motion.

‘His cock is going so wild inside of me! It’s stretching and rubbing my pussy like it’s trying to massage my walls!’ Mokata thought, biting her lip. ‘I never knew sex could feel like this! It’s so much different than when I please myself!’

“What’s the matter? Why’re you being so quiet?!” Nocturnus grinned, leaning in and nibbling on Mokata’s right ear. “Come on Momo! I want to hear your voice!”

“W-what about-ah-the other hotel residents?!” Mokata asked in between gasps, shivering at the giant rod in her pussy. “T-their rooms are all around us! W-what if one of them wakes up?!”

“We’ll let them hear us then!” Nocturnus countered, bringing her face towards his. “It’s a hotel! No reason for us to think of them when they’re more than likely doing what we’re doing! And if they have a problem with it…” His eyes glowed in the darkness of the room. “Well, we’ll show them why they shouldn’t!”

Mokata hesitated, silently alternating on whether to just let her cries be heard or keep as quiet as possible. She found it rather difficult, for the pleasure she was feeling from her friend fucking her relentlessly left her barely able to think. At that moment, she decided that she’d listen to him and let her pleasure be known. A part of her still hoped the other residents would not get too mad at her for being kept up. Even if some were having some private fun of their own.

“Now that’s much better!” Nocturnus praised as the mare’s moans massaged at his ears. “Go on! Moan to your heart’s content!”

Pulling her up, the thestral sat the pegasus on his lap, his tongue pulling his muzzle forward to let his lips meet Mokata’s in another kiss. A muffled gasp of surprise exited from her, but she made no attempt to pull away and happily reciprocated. For the second time that night, the due went into another make-out session that was intensified by their current act of intimacy. It was somewhat marred due to Nocturnus’s fangs constantly rubbing up between their lips. Mokata did not let it bother her, feeling it push her to show her friend even more affection.

“Wow! Your dick is going in deeper than it did before!” Mokata gasped, pulling her head away so she could speak. “I can feel it messing up my insides!”

“S-same here! You’re clenching me so tight! It’s like you’re trying to pop my dick off!” Nocturnus added, holding the mare’s hips as she rode him like a cowpoke on a rodeo bull. ‘That sounded a lot worse than it should’ve!’

“I’m sorry! I-it just feels so good! My pussy is acting on its own!” Mokata whimpered, forehooves pressing against the stallion’s chest as he took her former position on the bed. “Don’t worry! I’ll make you feel even greater!”

Laying herself atop Nocturnus, the yellow pegasus increased her hip movements, bringing them up and down in rapid bounces. She picked up the inhale of breath Nocturnus made, along with the feeling of his cock pulsing inside of her. It let her know Mokata was doing her job and he was feeling the efforts of her labor. Not that she wasn’t certain that he wasn’t feeling it already.

“Shit! I can feel my dick stretching inside of you! It feels amazing!” Nocturnus, forelegs wrapped around Mokata’s shoulders. “If you keep doing it like that, I’ll…! Crap! I’m about to cum!”

“Me too… me too! I’m cumming! I’m cumming too! Let’s do it together!” In the seconds those words were stated, Mokata felt the same build-up from before coming back with a vengeance. Pushing herself back up, she locked her forehooves with the stallion in preparation for the final climax. “Shoot it inside of me! I’ll accept all of it!”

Feeling no need to be told twice, Nocturnus’s own hips returned to work, joining Mokata in a lust-filled rhythm of smacks and slaps. Whatever wetness they felt from the beginning had increased two times over with the increase of movement. The bed rocked and creaked violently with them as the friends continued their session of passion, the smell of sweat and sex rising in the air. With sweat flowing from their bodies and hearts in their chests, Mokata and Nocturnus broke as they screamed into the night.

All hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell became overwhelmed by their orgasmic bliss as the duo went through their seizure-like states. It seemed to stretch on, almost as if Nyx and Epona themselves wanted them to truly feel the bliss of their physical connection. Mokata most of all, as shown by how her belly ballooned from the extensive amount of cum gushing inside of her. As quickly as it began, it ended to let the friends recover their senses. Sight came first, as Nocturnus’s eyes of blue mountains became flooded by Mokata’s gentle gaze of oceanic green. Following that was their hearing, coming in time for them to hear one another’s next words. Filled with love only found between true friends.

“Mokata…”

“Nocturnus~…”

With no more energy left to give, the duo fell limp onto their hotel bed, completely spent from their sexual intimacy. Mokata rested on top of Nocturnus, face smothered in his chest while he stroked her head with his hoof. For ten minutes they laid just like that, their expressions half-lidded as the afterglow basked them in its comforting embrace. Energy soon came back to Nocturnus, which he used to let his soft voice flow through the silence.

“How’re you holdin’ up there Mokata?” He mumbled, too tired to do anything else. “You enjoyin’ your little spot my wing?”

“Mhm. It’s the first time I ever used a thestral’s wing as a pillow,” She whispered as she sweetly smiled. “It feels so comfy.”

“Really? Even more than a feathered one?” Nocturnus asked teasingly. “I’ve seen you lay on one of Fluttershy’s wings whenever you two took naps together. I figured you’d like that more than a wing with membranes.”

“I do, but I like yours too Nocturnus.” Mokata countered. “My sister’s wings are comforting. I’m not going to deny that, but… there’s just something about your wings that makes me feel that much more relaxed and… safe.”

“In that case, you’ll have the rest of the night to be able to feel safe inside them if that’s what you want,” Nocturnus said, his nose nuzzling into her mane. “Just don’t get too safe in them. I don’t want to wake up to see you clutching my wing like a joey would its mother when it's still in the pouch.”

Mokata giggled. “I won’t make any promises, but I’ll do my best not to let it get in the way of the next day. Given what we have to do and all…”

“Uh-huh…” Nocturnus agreed, sighing as a foreleg came to lay on his forehead. “I really enjoyed doing what we did. I didn’t think it would go this way… but I’m fine with it.”

“Me too. I was scared that it would go horribly. You have no idea how relieved I am that it started and ended this way,” Mokata murmured, snuggling deeper into Nocturnus. “I know this is going to sound out of place but… I’m glad you were my first.”

“And I'm gladder I had my first time with you,” Nocturnus added tenderly. “I only hope I made this night special for you.”

“You did. More than you think,” Mokata cooed, planting her soft lips against Nocturnus’s fluffy cheek before a yawn left his maw. “Uh-oh~… looks like someone’s getting sleepy. Heading off to dreamland?”

“Yeah… I’m exhausted. All that partying and fucking took away any energy remaining,” He replied sleepily, feeling his drowsiness strengthen. “You gonna stay up?”

“No, I’ll join you in a minute. I just want to make myself a bit more comfortable before hoof,” The mare stated softly, laying a foreleg across the thestral’s chest. “I also want to be prepared for the possibility of Queen Luna visiting us in our dreams. If she decides to visit us that is.”

Nocturnus’s lips formed a straight line. “So we can explain to her that what she might see in our dreams isn’t really what it looks like?”

“Yes. I’m sure she won’t purposely enter after getting a glimps of what it will look like. But if she does…” Ruby red grew on the Mokata's cheeks as she trailed off. “…it’s gonna be awkward. For both of us.”

“Understatement of the millennium,” Nocturnus added with a similar look before giving another big exhale of air. "Well, whatever happens, is gonna happen. We did the deed and we’ll just have to deal with what’ll come later. Be it in the waking world or in the dream world. One world I think we should head off to now.”

“Alright then, I’ll join you there soon,” Softness went up and down Mokata's hoof as she rubbed it across the stallion’s chest. “Good night Nocty~. Happy Hearth’s Warming Eve~.”

“Good night, Momo…” Nocturnus muttered back, his voice just above a whisper. “Happy Hearth’s Warming Eve to you too~.”

Unable to fight it off any longer, sleep took Nocturnus in its grip, his friend’s warmth aiding him into his slumber. Mokata watched him drift off, loving how innocent he looked in his state of slumber. With one loving kiss to the thestral’s forehead, she wrapped her wings around him and let the embrace of sleep take her as well. Feeling the full moon bathed them in its comforting glow.

Author's Note

I'm not even going to try to go into just how long it took me to get this damn chapter out after countless days of editing, time and rewriting. All I will say is that I am so glad to finally have it out after so long of putting it on hold! I'm not gonna lie, some of this chapter has bits and pieces taken out from the older version of this that I had up. This is why it took me some time to edit it and tone down the craziness behind it. Something I probably didn't succeed at doing since I made that as a plan for this chapter. Either way, I'm glad I could finally post this and reward the patience of everyone who is still tracking this story. I'm still in the process of preparing the next chapter of this, as I said in my last blog post. But it should not be for as long as it did this one... at least I hope so. I don't know if it'll have any raunchiness as this chapter did, but... I'll try my best. Once I get past the tense and hopefully emotional parts of it.

Well, that's all for this Author's Note! See you all in the next chapter along with the ending! I will be going back to keep prepping those chapters up, and taking care of more important real-life-related things. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! If it left you feeling hot and bothered, well... don't say I didn't give you somewhat of a warning in the desctiption.
