I Feel...

"Do you long for having your heart interlinked? Interlinked."

<|>

I step through the door to our place of residence with a sealed, wooden crate on my back, balanced carefully, as to not have it fall off and damage what may be inside. There are no labels marking the exterior of the package.

It’s heavy, but nothing I can’t handle, and it’s not dripping with water anymore, rendering it safe for me to hold, thanks to the sun.

I gently set it down on the floor in the center of our home as I hear Areia trot in. Turning to face her, I find she’s bringing in a second crate; this one being a bit smaller than mine. She sets it down beside mine and smiles as she looks up at me.

I nuzzle the top of her head before trotting for the door and putting my hoof over the handle. The sun’s light has dimmed, and the sky has grown darker outside, signaling the end of the day and the beginning of what was going to be an eventful night for us. It is almost time to show her the stars.

I close the door as I turn back to her. “Quite the discovery, Areia.”

Letting out an excited giggle, she prances in place, overcome with joy.

“I wonder what’s inside!” She gasps as her smile widens, and her eyes light up with wonder. “Do you think it’s full of fish!? Or books!? Or-or fish AND books!?” She taps her hooves together in anticipation as she grins down at them. “I’m half tempted to just rip them open with my teeth!”

“I still find it peculiar that no one was on board the vessel.” I state as I calmly approach her. I rest a hoof on the back of her neck, regarding the two containers. “And you’re certain there were no bodies?”

“Yeah…” She quiets down, looking up at me with a now baffled expression. “It’s the weirdest thing, no creatures in sight!”

“This raises a lot of questions. For starters, whoever made the vessel was far beyond a primitive mindset, and had the knowledge to create advanced technologies. That takes time.” I glance down at the crates. “Areia… when you went down there, how exactly did you get in?”

She giggles slightly. “I went in through the bottom! There was a large hole. It didn’t look like it was supposed to be like that.” She frowns, rubbing her hoof along her chin.

My eyes flicker red.

“Areia…” I focus intently on the crates. “I would heavily advise you to stay away from that vessel from this point onward. If this is true, then there’s something big in the ocean.” I turn back to her, enveloping her form in a red glare. “I suspect that it tore through the hull of the vessel with ease. If all the creatures that were on board are now missing…” I shake my head, trying to free myself of the thought. “I don’t want you to become one of them…”

“But…”

“I wasn’t aware of the risk we took tonight. I can only hope it’s moved on elsewhere, but predators often like to linger around fallen prey. I don’t know what I’d do if you became a victim to whatever it was that killed the crew.”

Areia huffs slightly, clearly a bit indignant, but her expression softens.

“War… I’ve been swimming these waters for ages, I’ve fought off numerous creatures…” She smiles faintly before gently caressing the side of my head. “But… if you’ll feel better that I don’t go near the submarine thing, then I’ll leave it alone from now on.”

“Thank you, Areia…” My vision flashes from red to blue again, coating her sweet, endearing body in my light. “I know you’ve been living all across the ocean your whole life. I don’t underestimate your strength. I know you’re nimble, I know you can defend yourself. But you’re not invincible. There are things out there that you can’t face. Much like there are things I cannot face. Whatever tore into the vessel is not only a major threat to you, but to me as well.” I gently run my hoof along the side of her head, to which she leans against it, letting out a low playful growl from her gills as she closes her eyes. “It could rip even me in half, if it caught me.”

“It’ll have to catch me first…”

“Areiaaaaa…” I reply in a disapproving tone of voice as I withdraw my hoof.

She lets out a giggle in response. “Whaaaat? It’s not like I’m going to go searching for trouble with the local sea monsters.” Leaning forward, she boops her nose to my foreleg.

“You better not.” I lightly bap her on the nose in response. “Otherwise, you’re going to wake up with a frowny face on me instead of a smile.”

Her eyes widen with horror. “Eep!”

I chuckle and wrap a wing around the back of her neck, pulling her in close and nuzzling the top of her head. “Shall we see what’s inside the containers?”

“Mhm!” She nods and turns around as I fold my wing back.

Her tail is swaying to and fro with excitement, giving me yet another view of her backside. I quickly lower my head. I’m not looking for the situation with my systems rebelling against my mainframe again.

She grabs the smaller crate, dragging it back towards me. “Open this one first!” She exclaims as she bats my chest with her tail.

I lift my head to her again, before standing up and coming up to her side as she examines the wooden structure.

I set a hoof down atop it as the tips of my wings twist the screws in each corner out.

Suction online.

Activate.

As I lift my hoof, the lid comes with, to which I drop it beside the once contained belongings.

Inside is a bed of straw; a rather old technique to safely stow away fragile items. How… old fashioned…

I found myself missing zero gravity storage containment…

Areia digs her hooves in, shuffling the straw around, before tossing it out.

… And having it land on me.

“Hey War, do you know what this is?” Turning around as I wipe my visor clear of the straw, she thrusts something into my hooves.

I look down at the item of interest, turning it over from all sides. It’s a glass bottle kept sealed away with its fragile, transparent walls and a cork at the neck. Much like the crate it came from, there are no labels, but inside, is a near-black liquid.

Scanning molecular compounds…

…

Scan complete.

Cataloguing.

I reach it back out to her.

“It’s rum. You can drink it, but I’m going to monitor your consumption. It can be lethal in larger doses.”

She recoils from the bottle, an expression of horror etched on her face. “Why would anypony drink something like that!?”

I set the bottle down beside me. “It’s a means of pleasure to many. Though there can be a variety of side effects. It can easily result in addictive personality, liver failure, heart disease, going unconscious, regurgitation, shortening the life span - depending on how frequent an alcoholic intake is - and may result in the death of an individual who has had too much in such short notice. Oh, and on a very rare occasion, spontaneous combustion of raging alcoholics.”

Areia sits stock still for a second, blinking rapidly.

“Let’s… let’s just set that down to the side and see what else is in here!” She quickly turns to the crate.

“Acknowledged. Worst case scenario, we can find medicinal use for it.” I take my hoof off the bottle, sitting it upright.

She continues digging into the crate, before pulling out a broadsword, eyeing the sharp blade intently.

“Whoa…” She murmurs.

Scanning…

…

Scan complete.

Cataloguing.

Blood stains this sword from decades ago. Reports indicate the various strains along the blade range up from 34 different creatures, all of which were ponies. That is, if the molecular coding is anything close to the ponies I watched over in the tower.

I believe that this has seen a war.

The hilt of the instrument houses a dark blue sapphire; its intricately designed housing, silver.

“I’ve only ever seen these in my books!” She slides her hoof along the flat of the blade.

“Weapons will often times get a name from their owner.” I state. “Do you have a name for yours?”

“Wait, mine?” She looks up at me with excitement.

“I don’t see anyone else claiming it. Therefore it’s yours.” I pat her on the back softly.

“A name…” Looking back down to the sword, she thinks for a bit, continuing to run her hoof along the blade. “Mmm… Sharktooth!” She announces proudly, thrusting the blade into the air in a near triumphant gesture.

“A fitting name.” I chuckle softly as I look further into the crate. I dig my wings in, scooping the extra straw out, before reaching the bottom. I soon reveal a photograph sitting face up.

“Oh.” I lift it up.

The picture is of a mare, looking over her shoulder at the camera in a sultry gaze, biting her lip as her tail raises. The background is night, and she appears to be on a balcony. There are words scribbled at the bottom, just below her perky crotch tits; something I’ve been taking a lot of recent interest in, in regards to Areia.

‘Come back soon.’

“Hm? What’s that you’ve got there, War?” The shark pony in question speaks from behind me, her voice muffled by something.

I look to my right and find a collar meant for more private activities is trapped in her teeth. Where did that come from? Was the crate storing that too?

“A-Areia…”

If I could blush…

Hesitantly, I display the picture to her.

“Does this... say anything to you? Personally?”

“What do you… why is she doing that?” She cocks her head, eyes focusing on the mare.

“It’s a sex thing.” I reply, keeping my eyes on her. Her heartbeat remains at a steady pace, implying this has no stimulation on her.

“W-wait… you mean what we were talking about a while back?”

I nod. “Affirmative. Whoever this crate belonged to, they stored what appears to be keepsakes. Things that were of sentimental value to them. I imagine that a male owned this at one point.”

“So the mare gave the stallion this picture?”

“Affirmative. I can only assume as much. They most likely shared intimacy with each other.” I stand up, setting the photo down atop the lid at my hooves as I regard her. “If it’s alright with you Areia, I would like to save the other crate for later. I want to show you what I promised I would.”

Nodding, she smiles and props the sword on the larger trunk. “Eee!” She lets out a small squee. “We’re going to space!?”

“Affirmative. In a… sense. For one night only. After this, I won’t be able to do it anymore.” I step over to the center of the cave, and as my chest opens, I reach in and grab the projector within, setting it down on the floor before me. My chestplate slides back into place as I back away from it.

Sitting down, Areia tilts her head in bewilderment as her long, well toned tail curls around her forehooves. “Wha-” She drops the collar in her teeth, finally.

“Are you ready, sandshark?” I tilt my head to the side, regarding her in turn.

Her ears perk up at my question, excitement shining in her eyes. “I’m ready! Take me to the stars!” She replies, the end of her tail now joining in with her excitement, flicking from side to side.

Project flight trajectory within the last 134 years on an intergalactic scale.

Confirmed.

Display all various key locations and landmarks.

Confirmed.

Hundreds of thousands of stars shoot up around the cave. Planets and gas giants orbit suns in various different systems, and orbiting them are various moons, assisting in keeping them anchored to their endless orbital path.

“Whoa!” Areia’ magenta pearls grow wide as she takes in the display before her. Her eyes glow with the light of the universe around her; an infinite expanse of stars, yet she is the only star I need.

Asteroids float on into the infinite. Some make contact with planets, while others continue to drift on into the emptiness, traveling alone in the darkness. Like I once did.

Stars were born. Stars died. Their once lively forms leaving behind a glimpse into the void.

I stand up and walk through the various lights, before tapping a hoof over the holographic projection of a wormhole.

“I came from here. Somewhere on the other side is the place - the people I once served under.”

She nods slowly, before her eyes drift away from me, taking in the sights once more. “It’s beautiful…” She says in a near whisper, looking all around her at the universe she and I reside in.

“Affirmative.” I reply in the same tone and volume she offers me as I regard her directly, studying the wonder in her eyes. “She is…”

Areia turns to me, basking in the light of a hundred thousand stars, surrounding her form in a gentle blue aura. Her eyes are drawn up in surprise. She draws in a breath as her face goes red in a fierce blush.

“Y-you… think… I-I’m beautiful…?”

I shake my head. “Negative. I don’t think. I know you’re beautiful. You’re the most gorgeous creature I’ve ever had the fortune to set my eyes on.” I hang my head down for a moment, before looking back at her again, chuckling softly. “This is going to sound ridiculous coming from a machine, but… I’ve been reading through your books, and each description I find on the word fits what I feel for you. And, well, to put it simply… I think I love you, Areia. The moment I first saw you, something sparked inside me. I couldn’t figure it out. I saw it only as a glitch in my system. A virus, a mistake. I wasn’t built to love. But, in a manner of speaking, you rewrote my code. Maybe it’s mixed with the damage to my systems when I crashed on the island, but it’s not something I would ever think to remove. Not anymore…” I reach a hoof out to her as my core hums with a welcoming warmth. “You make me feel alive.”

She sits there, eyes focused on my hoof as a massive shudder travels through her body. Her heart rate is increasing rapidly. Finally, she brings her gaze up to mine, her eyes - still glowing in the wondrous lights that surround us - glisten with unshed tears.

“Areia? Is something wrong?” I tilt my head in a curious manner. “Did I hurt you? You’re starting to cry.”

“War…” Areia stands up in one smooth motion, her glowing form rippling, as if the ocean and space came together as one. Her hooves silently move across the ground as she seems to glide towards me.

She is… swimming, almost…

Her eyes never leave the gaze of my optics as she traverses the universe. Her tears, now running freely down her cheeks, sparkle like the stars. There is a hunger in her eyes. Not that of a threat, but one filled with a sweet tenderness. One with care and affection.

As she reaches the center of the room, she comes to a halt, her hooves spread out in an almost predatory stance.

Again, I hear her voice. “War… I…” Her words seem to halt as her face expresses a flurry of emotions. As if they are trapped within her.

Suddenly, she bursts forth, bounding toward me with wild abandon, her eyes telling it all. Reaching me on the other side of the universe, she comes to a stop, her muzzle inches from mine as she stares deep into my visor. Her hoof meets mine, wrapping around it and squeezing with such surprising strength, even for Areia.

She…

Her lips press softly to where mine would be, if I had been built with a pair. Her eyes close as her lips purse against the plating over my lower face, along the end of the simulated muzzle that was issued in my design. Her hooves meet at the back of my neck as she sits on her haunches, and I follow in her actions, holding her close to me as she displays her feelings to me through a long, silent kiss.

Optics offline…

One of her hooves travel across the side of my neck, to my collar, and eventually come to a stop over where my core resides. Her tail soon occupies the place at my neck where her hoof once resided, wrapping around me gently.

Her lips press deeper against me as a soft moan escapes her.

“W-War…” She whimpers as her heart picks up rhythm.

“Areia…” I whisper, running the tip of my hoof down her spine, gradually running it down to the base of her tail. My wings flare out in a swift motion, before gently wrapping her in a cocoon of my love and warmth.

Areia gasps as my hoof reaches where her tail and the rest of her body join, her back arching almost instinctively as her tail tightens its grip on me. To my surprise, she emits that deep purr of hers, though there’s a different tone to it. There’s something… more.

I gently lift her off the ground, cradling her with my wings as I stand on my two rear hooves, slowly advancing for the makeshift bed we share, all the while keeping my eyes locked on hers. She reciprocates my affection with a nuzzle to my chest, smiling up at me as her eyes glue to mine in turn.

Her tail slides down my form, wrapping around my waist as I carefully set her down, getting atop her and nuzzling her muzzle appreciatively.

“I’m happy with the type of pony you made me become.” I whisper. “Thank you, Areia, so much, for what you have done.” I run a forehoof down her chest, feeling her smooth, exhilarating body. “I love you so much…”

Her hooves meet mine, bringing it back to her chest. Her heart pulses warmly against my sensors. It’s faster… stronger. There’s an energy behind each thump in her chest, resonating through me. Reaching out to me, exploring my body. That energy embraces my core, holding it the way I’m holding her. Her heart is singing to me, and my core is singing back in a synchronized harmony.

“I… love you too.” Areia replies almost breathlessly. Her words travel straight to my core, alighting it with…

Euphoric bliss.

It’s as if a thin veil lifts, filling my… my soul.

I nuzzle her chest before placing an ear over her heart as I trace the tips of my wings along her sides, slowly caressing them down her lithe, athletic form, down to her flanks. One of my forehooves run along her stomach, near her navel, to which I notice her body shiver as her heart rapidly increases its pace. A small breath escapes her lips, and I lift my head to look up at her.

“Ooh…”

She’s looking down our bodies, where my hoof rests on her navel. Her chest presses into my chin as her back arches and her grip on me tightens.

“W-what… was that? W-why do I feel so… mmh… w-weird? Yet… so… good?”

I look down and find that the area around the underside of her tail is wet. Her breasts seem to have perked up from the attention as well.

“Well, Areia…” I say in a near whisper, looking back up at her. “It seems I have quite the effect on you.” I carefully roll off to the side, lying beside her as I regard her. The tingling sensation in my lower half is trying to break free from the containment of my groinal plating.

Propping herself up by her forehooves, she peers down at her lower regions. “Why do I feel we-” Her words come to an abrupt halt as surprise flashes across her face, before turning into embarrassment. “U-um…” She glances at me in mortification, but I run a hoof along her back as an attempt to reassure her it’s okay. “I-I think I… um…” Her face goes bright red.

“I’m so sorry!” She cries out in a panic. “I didn’t mean to p-p-pee.”

I chuckle and lift myself up, holding her from behind and nuzzling her shoulder. “That’s not what you think it is, Areia.” I lift her body up for a moment, only to set her down on top of me. I run my hooves along her chest, slowly navigating down her body. “Do you feel it?” I whisper in her ear. “The urge?” They gradually trace down her stomach, exploring her navel further, just before reaching the mounds of her tits. “The temptation?” I circle around them as she shivers, moaning softly behind her breath.

“W-War, oh…”

“The heat? The glory?” I press my muzzle into the side of her neck as I trace the very tips of my hooves along her nipples in a circular motion. She squeaks at the contact, before her moans pick up in volume.

“A-aah! War! W-what-”

“The passion?” I gradually slide one hoof free from one of her tits as I use my rear hooves to spread hers apart. I run the forehoof along her soaked nethers, which wink at me lustfully, begging me to give her more attention down there.

“W-Ahhhhhh!” She pulls her head back in a cry of passion, arching her back as her body shivers at my touch.

“W-what are you doing to m-me…? Why do I feel… so… ahhh… g-good…?” She breathlessly murmurs, looking at me in a daze. “W-what is this…?”

I slide the tip of my hoof past her clit, breaching her ever so slightly as she cries out in pleasure.

“This, Areia…” I say as I massage her eager nethers with one hoof, and one of her tits with a wing as I pull my other hoof back. “Is just the start of a very long and eventful, sex-filled night…” I press my muzzle to her cheek in an attempt to simulate a kiss on her behalf. “Do you… want me to proceed?” I ask tentatively as the urge continues to build up inside me.

Her eyes widen, her breath becoming almost feral in nature. “Y-you mean like… m-mating? Y-you want to mate with me? Reproduce?”

“Recreationatelly. My cum is purely artificial. I can’t get you pregnant.” I press my hoof further into her, teasing her more.

“Mmmmh!” She moans behind a hoof, almost screaming. Her hind legs, as if with a mind of their own, spread farther out, twitching with her arousal, which in turn gives me even better access to her. I slide in deeper at her generous, loving offer.

“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!” Areia roars at the top of her lungs, as her body seems to release all the pressure that had built up by my exploration of her.

I pull my hoof out slowly as her climax gushes out over my plating, which was thankfully, evidently not cracked.

Expiration by mare’s orgasm was not a way I would want to go.

I withdraw my hoof, but as her excitement continues to pool up between her legs, I quickly run my wing tip along her slit, stimulating her further.

In the midst of her orgasmic cries, she gasps, before increasing in volume.

“A-AHHHH! WAR! WH-OHHH!” Her tail goes rigid, straightened out completely as she arches her back against my chest and stomach.

Note added.

Shark ponies get tail boners.

As she slowly starts to calm down, and the last of her juices drip out from her in the wave, I withdraw my wing.

“We’re not done yet.” I state as I carefully slide out from under her, standing up. I tower over her, studying her panting, twitching form. The compartment over my groin slides open, revealing my silicone designed appendage to her. The same girth and length, along with the appearance of an average stallion hangs down over her stomach; my tip gently rubbing between her tits.

I look down at her and gently press my muzzle to hers, simulating another kiss, before lifting myself back up.

“I assume you’ve only seen one in books.” I state, glancing down at it for a moment. “Do you want to study it, first?”

Areia’s eyes focus on my 26 inch dick like a laser pointer. “T-that’s what i-it looks like?” Her voice filled with lustful wonder. “T-there were no pictures in my books… Looking at i-it makes me feel weird… But… a good… weird…” She reaches a hoof out, tracing along the shaft from base to tip, feeling every curve and simulated vein, exploring it to her heart’s content.

It’s pulsating with excitement. Throbbing to her soothing touch.

Optics offline…

I hear her scoot down a little, moving underneath me more for a moment, before her hooves run along my balls, leaving no inch of me untraced. Squeezing them gently, massaging them sensually.

Then…

Her nose presses against them as she takes in a breath.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Areia, but my simulation doesn’t come with the scent of a normal stallion. That’s the one factor that was left out of my build.”

“Mmmm…” She murmurs softly. “But it smells like… mmm… you…” She presses her muzzle into the space between the underside of my cock at the base and my balls, taking another long whiff before her saliva begins sliding down.

I was unaware of how… amazing… this felt… This must have come with the malfunction to my systems, because I have never heard of another machine experiencing this level of pleasure before.

This is entirely new.

“A-Areia… I…” I pause for a moment, trying to gather my scrambled thoughts.

“Mmm?” Her husky voice rumbles into the underside of my girth, just before she traces her muzzle along the shaft, gradually venturing to the tip. Thankfully, in my case, I was still able to cum on demand. Otherwise I would have already done so.

“This f-feels… incredible…”

She lets out a soft purr through her gills as her tongue slides around my tip, teasing the urethra.

Why were my wings trembling…?

“Oh, Areia…”

“War…” Areia’s voice rumbles as she softly kisses the tip.

Optics online.

I look down between my legs just in time to see her suckling at the tip, pumping my cock with her lips firmly wrapped around it.

“O-ooh…”

Her hooves travel up my rear legs, pulling me down a little more as my shaft slides further into her mouth. Her tongue travels all around my girth, exploring me further. Her saliva coats more than a quarter of my dick as she bobs her head up and down, pumping me deeper inside her.

I can see the bulge of my flare going up and down her throat as she growls deeper with need. She wants more…

I slowly descend a little more, feeding her her lustful desires as well as mine, gently thrusting into her.

She moans and gags, but keeps coming for more. Growling with a feral instinct as she nears my sheath, deepthroating me to levels I wasn’t aware she could handle.

“Ah, A-Areia!”

… I think I am starting to lose control of my commands…

“A-Areia, I can’t… I can’t control it. I’m g-getting close!”

Pulling down on me with a near impossible feral strength, she finally and violently hilts me in her throat, her tongue rubbing circles on the underside of my cock. My balls twitch against her chin as I lift my head up, crying out as climax reaches for release.

Within mere seconds, I pump my hot, artificial seed deep inside her, wave after wave, with each throb in the simulated muscles.

“AREIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” I cry out as I slam even deeper into her, pressing the back of her head against the bed as I fill her up from the inside.

“MMMM!!! MMMM!! Gllk! Glllk… Ghlllk…”

Areia gulps down my seed with feral abandon. Slightly overwhelmed by the amount I am ejaculating into her stomach, my cum bursts from her mouth, splattering over her face as I look back down at her.

I begin to notice as I keep pumping more into her, not letting up, that her belly is slowly expanding out a little.

More of my cum spurts out from her mouth, covering a large portion of her face in my sticky, hot mess, before the last of my orgasm finishes.

“O-oh, Areia…” I chuckle softly as I slowly begin to slide my cock out from her. But in doing so, she quickly grabs my flanks and forces me back down, growling aggressively.

“A-ah! W-whoa, Areia…”

I can feel her working her throat as she squeezes every last ounce of my cum out from my cock, gulping rhythmically and moaning.

“Mmm….m-mm…. Gllk… slrp… Gllk…”

Finally, as the very last of my wave is inside her, she lets me go, but not before placing another kiss on my tip.

I slowly pull away, before collapsing on my back.

Before I have time to react, she gets up over me with a hungry look in her eyes as she licks the cum from her lips. She begins to grin as she positions my cock just below her nethers.

“W-wait, Areia, what are you-”

Growling needfully, she presses down on my tip, before I pop into her tight, velvet love tunnel. She arches her back, releasing a cry of pleasure.

“Grrrrrnnaaahhhhhh…” A cross between a growl and a purr escapes from her as she brings her gaze down to me. Her eyes are wide with feral lust, and deep within, love.

Slowly, she rocks her hips back and forth. A surprising action, considering her state.

“Mmrrrrr… Mmmm… Mmnnn…”

“A-ahh… Areia... “ I arch my back, looking up at her and running my hooves along her hips as she rides me, taking in the wonderful sight of her.

Screenshot saved.

A picture will last longer than I ever will at this point.

“Mmmhhh… W-waaaarrr…” She suddenly gasps, a new light brightening in her eyes. “I-I… Mmmrrrrrhh…I need… you…” She pulls herself up, moaning with feral passion as only my tip is left penetrating her flower. “I need you so badly, War… I d-don’t know why… but I need you inside me… Mmmrrrrrrhhh… Deep…”

As she speaks behind her moan, she slides back down my shaft, closing her eyes and lifting her head to the ceiling as she cries out.

“N-nyaaaaaaaa!”

Her walls tighten around me as my tip presses into her cervix; throbbing deep inside her with excitement.

I take her hoof in mine, holding it as she begins to slowly raise again, whimpering as she bites her other hoof. As she nears the tip, she descends again, picking up her momentum and repeating her actions. “Nnnph… War…” She growls. “I… mmmph! Feel you… Nnnngghh… I-inside me… A-aah! Feel you… stretching me… Uuuuhnn… pushi-ing deepe- Ooooooh!”

“Ahhh, Areia… Mmm…” I thrust my hips up a little as she comes down on me, pushing as deep as I can inside her, moaning under my simulated breath. It may have been just a program within me to make me feel more real; an act… but this is real. I am real. My love for her is real.

All of this is real.

“Ahh… Ari…” My wings unfold beneath me, stretching out to both sides as I feel the pressure building up inside me. The emotions, the sensations, the energy between us… growing. “I-I love you so much!” I press my hooves into her hips, massaging them as she bounces up and down on my eager cock.

“I love- Mmmmph! I love you too!” Areia cries, her eyes starting to lose focus as she brings herself down hard. “UUunnff!” My tip slams into her cervix, almost breaching her womb as I continue to press hard into her. Her face is in a state of startled pleasure. Her tongue sticks out.

The racing rhythm of her heart resonates through her body, through my hooves. Singing to me. My core continues to mock her beat, synchronizing with it as an immense heat beams off me.

“A-Areia, I’m so c-close… Hah, Areia!” I sit up and wrap my arms firmly around her, meeting at her back as I pump hard into her cervix repeatedly. I press my ear to her chest, listening to her heart as I begin to breach into her womb.

I notice a golden light in my peripherals shining from her necklace as we both scream in bliss, letting our orgasm overtake us.

My hot seed spurts into her womb, filling her up, before slipping out from her cervix, coating everything in my pleasure. It doesn’t take long before it gushes out from her. My balls twitch sporadically as I pump the enhanced load of my cum into her, moaning and panting heavily.

The light of Areia’s necklace slowly fades as she collapses against me, eyes closed. Moaning at each pulse of my buried cock.

We both begin to lower our voices as the last of my orgasm flows into her. I gently lower myself onto my back, bringing her with me and letting her lay on my chest; both of us are covered in each other’s excitement. Evidently, there was no damage to my plating on the underside of my body.

I loosen my grip a little on her, nuzzling the top of her head playfully.

“You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me, Areia…” I whisper behind a worn out pant, before chuckling, giving her one last teasing pump into her womb. “I am yours. Forever.”

“And I… mm… am yours… forever…” Areia moans happily as she lifts her head slightly to focus her gaze upon mine. “I never would have thought… that I’d find… mm… happiness… That I would find somepony…” She leans back, slightly pressing me deeper into her womb. “Now… I have you… A-and you have me…”

I run a hoof through her mane ever so gently, gazing deep into her tired eyes. “We will never be lost again. I never would have thought I’d be alive like I am now. Thank you, Areia…” I imitate a kiss to her lips tenderly. “My star shark…”

Sighing happily, she relaxes into our kiss. “My comet…” She moans under her breath. “My Warhorse…”

I moan softly under my breath as I nestle my cock a little further inside her, holding her in a loving embrace as I rest the back of my head against our bed. She presses her ear over my core as it hums with its gentle radiance, warming her from the night, but not enough to cost her her life. She is a shark, after all. Her natural climate is cold. I can’t overdo it. Lukewarm to room temperatures is the farthest I’ll go.
