Some days, life hands you interesting things.

You might wake up one morning, get out the right side of the bed, and life hands you pleasant surprises. The newspaper lands right on your doorstep, your coffee goes down smooth and easy, breakfast isn’t burned. The clothes you put on to go to work fit you just right, and the weather outside is delightfully pleasant. Conversely, you might also wake up one morning and fall completely off course from the bed, stubbing your hoof and limping into the bathroom only to scramble through brushing your teeth and trying to put on your work clothes one hoof-ed because you overslept. Never mind your grumbling stomach wanting food, you had customers waiting for their sugar fix.

Pony Joe felt life really needed to check it’s grip on the stack of handouts before getting to him. It might explain why, as he was closing up shop, he was greeted by two royal guards who handed him a scroll embellished with Luna’s royal seal. They let him read the contents of it as they escorted him to the castle. It was written in a mix of regular modern Ponish and some occasional older Ponish, leaving him a little confused. Neither of the guards had much to offer on the matter, other than to just nudge him through security checkpoints and escort him through the castle until they finally arrived in the kitchens.

The royal kitchens were an admittedly larger room than Joe had anticipated. The small setup he had back in his shop was almost miniscule compared to all the equipment they had available. There must’ve been ten different ovens, each a different size and purpose no doubt. The shelves above the ovens lined two walls, containing what Joe expected to be the various ingredients the royal chefs used when cooking for the Royal Sisters. Contrary to public gossip though, he didn’t see piles of bananas and cakes for Celestia at the ready; in fact, the only thing that seemed present was a small bowl of fruit on a nearby station for ponies to partake in. Ponies like Princess Luna who was standing there and waiting.

“I thank thee, my guards. You may go. And welcome, Chef Joe!” Luna greeted him as the guards bowed their heads and departed, leaving Joe alone with the Princess. He shuffled in place for a moment, finally reaching up to clutch at his folded hat and bowing his head to the Lunar Princess.

“T-thank you, uh, thee, your majesty?” He attempted. She gave a small laugh, waving her hoof at Joe’s bowed form.

“Rise and be at ease, my fellow pony. For today, you may just address me as Luna. I take it thou read my missive?”

“I uh, yes. I think I understand it.” He replied. “I’m not that versed in the old tongue, though. You needed help with a baking problem?”

“In a manner of speaking.” Luna replied, finishing the bite of her apple she’d been chewing on before tossing it into a nearby waste bin. “My sister and I are clearly ponies of varying talents. She raises the sun, I the moon and stars. She looks after the waking world, and I attend to the dreamers of the night. But there are some things we share, such as a fondness for sweets.”

“Nothing wrong with that.” Joe declared, affixing his hat back atop his head as he listened. “Heck, that's the drive of my whole business. A hungry pony coming my way is usually one that hankers for dessert.”

“Indeed, and thou are a very talented creator of sweets. Or so I hear, at the least, if the rumors on the lips of stallions and mares speak truth. But I digress; my sister and I possess many different talents. And one that my elder sister possesses is a prowess in the kitchen that I have had...difficulty in replicating.” Luna finished, giving one of the ovens a sidelong glance that seemed to Joe an almost challenging stare.

“If her majesty doesn’t mind my asking,” Joe replied, “exactly how difficult is it for you?”

“I’ve been told the Canterlot Fire Department has developed a special task force to deal with the likes of my...attempted creations.” Luna replied, looking back at Joe. “It is hardly my fault they cannot appreciate a blend of fish, gelatin, and salad!”

Joe allowed his mind to try and comprehend such a creation before politely asking it to leave his imagination. “Right. Well. Maybe we should make something easy to start you off?” He suggested.

Luna clapped her hooves together. “Delightful! I would enjoy providing something my sister would like. And all of my guards spoke of how good your desserts are. So you would be the best instructor, I imagine. Perhaps we could make a new recipe forged from unused ingredients?”

Joe bit down the knee-jerk response of telling the Lunar Princess to not desecrate his donut recipes with her creative imagination. “Maybe in the future, but it’s important to get the fundamentals down first. And since you’re starting off easy, let’s cook something easy.” He suggested. “Now, I might be known as ‘Donut Joe’, but I also make other desserts. There’s eclairs, there’s pies, even the occasional cake or two.”

Luna adopted a thinking pose for a moment, leaving Joe to wait until she nodded and smiled at him. “Then let us start from the start. Teach us thine noble Donut ways, master Joe.”
“Master. Heh.” He chuckled at Luna’s declaration. “Alright, Luna, first we need the ingredients for the batter to make the dough. We’re gonna need an egg, some yeast, milk,” he listed off the ingredients and watched as Luna summoned each one on command from a nearby storage container or fridge, all of them levitating into a neat pile next to a bowl she procured at his instruction. “We’ll need to heat the milk a little, and once it’s warm enough, we’ll add the yeast.”

Luna nodded, and Joe looked away for a moment to measure out the vanilla, salt, and sugar. When he looked back to the Lunar Princess, he almost dropped his packet of sugar. Luna had borrowed a torch from one of the walls and was holding the flammable end beneath the jug of milk. She saw him looking and smiled happily.

“It is like this, correct? To warm the milk?”

“...You’ve got the spirit, I’ll say that much.” Joe commented before plucking the torch out of her magical grasp with his own. “But we don’t need to heat the entire jug. Just measure some out onto the saucepan there, and let the stove heat the milk for us.”

She obeyed the instruction, but as she poured out the milk and set it up on the burner, she voiced a question. “Is it not the goal of cooking in your industry to try and be as quick as possible, Joe?”

“Quick at making food, yes. Quick to burn the food, no.” He replied as he worked at whisking the butter, egg, and vanilla. The familiar scent of the blended items wafted up to him, a smell that made him feel more at ease given the circumstances. “Some things you have to work up and let it build naturally. Magic is a good tool in the kitchen,” he nodded at the bowl where his magic was continuing to whisk the ingredients together, “but some things need to be done personally.”

“I see. Is this the ‘personal touch’ to cooking I hear talk of?”

“It is. You can do a lot of things in the kitchen with magic, but saying that you made it yourself and not just casting a spell feels...I dunno how to really say it. More fulfilling maybe?” He replied.

Luna pondered on this as she observed the milk starting to steam. At Joe’s beckon, she lifted the saucepan up and brought it to him, letting him place the yeast in it. “Is that maybe why sister does so well with it? I always thought she could just put it all together so effortlessly through her magic.”

“Well. I don’t know your sister personally,” Joe stated, “but a good chef knows how to make the most with what’s in their hooves. Ah! See here,” he tilted her mixture into the bowl where his ingredients were resting, the ingredients melding together and shifting as he moved the bowl slightly until they were all mixed evenly, “now here’s a perfect example. We have to prep the dough for baking. Now some ponies like to use either tools or magic to do it, but I prefer doing it by hoof. And by me, this time, I mean you.”

Luna blinked. “How does one prepare dough with their bare hooves?”

“Easy. We’re going to knead it, rough it up a bit to help make sure everything is mixed and the dough is stable.” He informed her. “Now, do you want me to show you an example?”

Seeing her nod, he smiled and took hold of the bowl, making sure it was settled on the counter before squishing his hoof into the dough. The soft mixture easily moved from his effort, and he began to push and move his hoof through the dough as Luna looked on. The wet feeling of the mixture surrounded his hoof, but it was a familiar sensation. “You see,” he started before grunting, “you have to work the dough into a state it can be ready to rise up in. If we just leave it limp and soggy, well, no one has anything good come from that.”

“Nay, this lump must indeed not be limp!” Luna declared. “Might I try?”

Joe scooted a little, but Luna moved herself close beside him. The stallion took a moment to just observe as Luna used both hooves and worked at the dough. To an outside observer, they might think she was doing just fine, but Joe’s trained eyes saw she was working it too hard, too rough. Patches would come apart, making odd lumps amidst the dough. For the sake of all pastries, he had to intervene.

“Luna, here, hold on,” He said before moving closer and resting his hooves on top of hers. The act did make Luna stop, and she glanced at him on her left. “You gotta go easy on it. Mould it gently.” He instructed as he moved Luna’s hooves with his own. His guiding motions turned Luna’s forceful, aggressive efforts into more controlled and capable strokes that helped to shape the dough. Soon enough, Luna took back some control to work the dough, pressing it together before smoothing it and spreading it out.

“There. See?” Joe remarked. “You’re a...natural.” Being this close to Luna made Joe realize a few things his mind could now understand with the dough crisis handled. For one thing, Luna hadn’t stopped him from holding onto her hooves, even though she could easily do so now. Her fur was soft beneath his grasp, the darkened blue contrasting with his amber coat. Secondly, being this close allowed Luna’s wing and tail to brush up against him, albeit subconsciously as her body moved in tandem with his. The flickering touches of softness made him shiver, in a way he hadn’t in quite some time.

Most enthralling though was that up this close, he could actually make out tiny little freckles on the surface of her cheeks and across her muzzle. They were frankly adorable, and meeting the stare of her cyan eyes with his own made his cheeks burn as he took in the very appealing appearance of the Lunar Princess. His heart quickened, and he swallowed before removing his hooves to let her carry on. The smile on her muzzle never left her lips, he noticed, but if she was bothered she made not one remark.

When she did finally stop, the dough was in a much more workable shape. Luna washed her hooves off as Joe lifted his hoof up and wiped his brow. “Ok. So.” He started before clearing his throat to try and get his mind off the enchanting look in Luna’s eyes. “The dough’s ready. But we have to let it rise in a warm environment. Which can take up to...well, an hour and a half.”

“Oh my. It takes that long?” She questioned.

“Yeah. It uh...the yeast in the dough has to work itself out and basically lift the dough up. It’s what helps to make donuts have their fluffed shape later on.” He explained. “So we have to...wait.”

“I see.”

Normally, waiting alongside a pretty mare would actually be a bit of a dream for Joe. He hadn’t actually entertained the company of a mare in some time. Constant work, the occasional disaster, and so on made any attempted dates a bit difficult to manage. And now here he was with literal royalty beside him. Couldn’t exactly wow her by asking “how’s your weather been?” or “So tell me about your job”. He reached up and fiddled with his hat in his hooves for a moment.

“Sir Joe?”

“Y-yes, Luna?” He snapped himself from his thoughts at her voice.

“It occurs to me that I have yet to address this with thee. But I must say thank you for thine willingness to assist me on such short notice.” Luna said. “I realize such unexpected summons may have taken you from others you may have made plans for.”

“Oh. No, actually, funny enough.” He replied. “I uh...there hasn’t been anypony to make plans with. For. In a while.”

“Truly? You?”

“Pastries and desserts I may master, but the fairer sex, that’s a whole different kitchen to work in.”

“Hmm.” The curious noise Luna made got him to look at her, the Princess resting her chin on a forehoof as they sat there alongside the silent dough bowl. “Still. I am grateful to you for helping me. I have had an experience, in recent memory, where it was made pointedly clear I should broaden my horizons and learn more about life beyond what I thought I knew. My sister and I were having trouble communicating, but now we both understand the other’s world a little better.” Luna explained.

“I want to try and enjoy the world as my sister seems to do. She can go out into the world and smile and laugh so easily. I have had trouble adjusting. But I still wish to try. Thine willingness to share with me tells me that perhaps I am capable of learning.”

Joe took this in and sat still for a moment before speaking again. “For what it’s worth, Luna, I think you’re pretty great already. But it’s good to learn. And to make new friends. And...uh. Well, I’d call you friend. If you’d think of me as a friend.”

“We verily think thee a good friend.” Luna assured him, smiling again. “Had time been different, perhaps you’d be the royal chef for ourselves, and not just to the common pony.” She paused, and then her eyes lit up. “Oh! An idea comes to me.”

“Yes?”

“Joe, you instructed me before that magic was not to be used to make such foods. And so far we have been physical as instructed.”

Joe nodded slowly.

“But is there a rule about using magic around the food? Say, perhaps, just a sprinkle of time magic?”

The stallion paused and considered this. Technically speaking, she had a point. And he was curious just what the alicorn had in mind. “Well, no, there isn’t. What were you thinking about doing?”

“Observe.” She sat up and concentrated, her horn glowing brightly before a dark blue orb encompassed the bowl of dough. He could vaguely make out the shape of the bowl past the magic, but stayed put to observe as Luna’s magic swirled around the dough. It was strong enough to kick up some wind, ruffling some of the utensils nearby and shaking the cabinet doors. It was only for a few moments though before she relented, and her magic faded away.

As the blue glow diminished, Joe saw the dough had indeed risen just like he knew it was supposed to do. Only it had happened in the span of seconds and not an hour and a half. He stepped closer to inspect the dough, and found no blemishes or discoloration. It looked every bit the prime material ready to be made into donuts.

“...I had no idea you could do that.” Joe remarked, looking at the Lunar Princess. The mare in question lifted her head and puffed out her chest in pride.

“Tis but a little time magic. Certainly nothing to harm our reality. Some would object, but since I and my sister gave ponies the concept of time, I feel I stand in place as an authority.”

“So what you’re saying is...you’re the reason I glare at my alarm clock in the morning.”

“Nay. My contribution is the snooze button.”

Joe laughed at that, and Luna followed suit as well, her wings giving a light flap at her sides.

“Alright, alright. The Pretty Princess of the Moon and Time still has donuts to finish up.” Joe said, making Luna giggle as he fetched the next set of tools and laid out a metal pan sheet on the counter. “So, the dough is now ready to be used. What do you suppose is our next step?”

Luna gazed at the dough for a moment before looking at him. “This is soft and doughy. It must be heated to become firm. Only then will it be fit to enter my mouth.”

Joe was grateful for the firm grip he had on the tools, although he couldn’t help shuffling them for a moment as he heard her speak. Such phrasing might be innocent to somepony like Luna, but to Joe who had heard all sorts of colorful metaphors…

“We cannot possibly eat a donut of such a size, however. Do you want them to be this large?”

“Well, maybe it’d suit a dragon,” He reasoned before holding up a circular looking tool, which bore a grip at it’s base for his hoof to hold onto, “but for a pony, we have to take the dough and make our donuts take shape. So, if you would please, lay the dough out on the pan and let’s spread it out.”

Luna listened as instructed and followed his lead, allowing Joe to show her how to cut the dough into precise donut-like shapes. As they carried on with the rest of the lesson, Joe had to admit to himself he was having fun. Yes, he was basically walking somepony through an easy recipe he knew like the back of his hoof, but it was a new experience with somepony like Luna. They seemed to be taken with the entire process as a whole. And frankly, having a looker like her as a co-chef was a lot better than his distorted mug staring back from the reflective metals.

By the time they had finished using the oven to fry the donuts, Luna seemed like an altogether good fit in the kitchen. He had turned away for a moment to check on the prepped glaze for the donuts before he heard Luna yelp and scoot away from the oven.

“Luna? You ok?”

“There is heat beneath my tail!”

Joe paused and tried to keep the obvious out of his imagination. It only worked halfway well. “I-I’m sorry?”

“I doth backed into the oven.”

“Oh. Ah, I’ve done that. It’s common enough.” His pulse cooled down a beat. “Are you hurt?”

“I cannot tell. Please assist me.” Luna didn’t give him any time to respond before turning around and presenting her backside to him, making Joe’s thoughts crash into one another. Luna literally was asking him to inspect her rump. Frankly, it was a delightful rump. Whereas many reasoned Celestia had the biggest of all, Luna’s was nothing to scoff at. She had a sort of inviting and soft shape, plush but not obscenely done. He was grateful for keeping his apron on, because getting such a view was making it difficult to keep himself composed around the alicorn.

“U-um.”

“Please tell me, are mine buns safe?”

“The buns are delightfu...ly not burned. Definitely. Not burned. Yep.”

“We thank thee. And we apologize for our clumsiness.” Luna’s tail swished as she moved, making Joe’s eyes follow for just one more tantalizing moment before he zeroed in on Luna’s expression again. “Safety in one’s kitchen is always important. I can only imagine you have plenty of experience?”

“...Yeah. Experience. With all kinds of...buns.” He mumbled before clearing his throat. The stallion did his best to try and look relaxed, and not focus on the lustful thoughts tugging at his imagination, particularly of Luna in that position again but much more...active. “A-anyway! Now we just need the glaze. Yep. Gotta glaze those but-buns! Donut buns.”

“Huzzah!” Luna cheered, making Joe relax slightly as he brought the prepped glaze over to the donuts. A light dip for each one gave them a healthy coating, and he moved them to finally rest on a waiting plate. “May we finally indulge in your creamy creation?”

The way Luna licked her lips made Joe’s skin tingle, and he just nodded, not trusting his words. Luna brought one of the donuts up and took a healthy bite of it, the pleased sound that left her throat causing Joe to fumble for his own treat if just for the distraction. “Wonderful! Thine treats are most satisfying.”

Joe took a bite for himself, and had to agree with the royal mare. Maybe it was the touch of magic she’d done earlier to help speed the process, but overall, the batch had come out very well. The sugary sweet taste stuck to his senses and he couldn’t help a smile as he went for another bite.

“May we try thine balls as well?”

“Grk!” Joe choked on his bite and held still to look at Luna. He swallowed the doughy bite whole and coughed. “W-what?”

“Your balls, Joe. I suspect they must be as good, are they not?” Luna asked, leaving Joe to just stare agape before looking on as she levitated up one of the dough balls that were also coated in a glaze. “I sincerely thought these were just to be thrown away, if I’m honest. But like my sister, I do relish a treat to snack on time to time.”

“R-right. The donuts. Yeah.” He mumbled out. His face felt flushed, and the apron he wore was too tight in hiding a prominent sign of how Luna’s innocently phrased words were tugging at every non-innocent imagination he had.

“I feel like they need more cream on them...hmm.” Luna’s tongue slipped out and brushed the corner of her lips, where a dollop of glaze had been sitting. “What do you think? The chef would know best, would he not?”

“W-well. Some do make them where they have a creamy filling to them. There’s a special kind of donut for that, called a Longhorn.” He told her. “They work kinda like eclairs, just full of the stuff.”

“It would be a tad messy...but what is fun without a little mess?” Luna replied.

“Well, maybe we could top the donut balls with something other than glaze? We can be creative.” Joe reasoned out, looking about the kitchen around them. “Maybe uh...strawberry jam? Or a flavor you like?”

“I am partial to several flavors. But I think I see where to get plenty of cream for my liking.”

“You do? Where-oh!” Joe froze up as a light but encompassing pressure engulfed his balls from behind, making him stop where he stood as Luna stepped closer over to him. “Um.”

“Forgive us; we choose to be more direct now than our attempted flirtations before, Sir Joe.” Luna replied. “We have not as much practice in the modern ways of courtship as our sister and our friends may have elsewhere. I am used to more direct approaches. When I presented mine buttocks, I sincerely expected you to catch on by then. I do appeal to you, do I not?”

Joe weighed out his options: try to lie to Luna who literally had him in a precarious grip that could easily end the donut-making line of ponies within him, or be sincere and hope that honesty really is the best policy when telling royalty you were ogling her rump before. Luna’s patient but smiling expression led him to go for the latter.

“You are...undoubtedly one of the prettiest mares I have ever met in person, Luna.” He confessed. “You are gorgeous in every way somepony like me could think of. I um...I mean. I also think you have a terrific butt. I just...really did check for burns though. It happens a lot in the kitchen.”

Luna laughed softly and levitated away the dough ball she’d been holding onto. “Our methods may be...perhaps antiquated. But our intention is entirely sincere; we find a stallion like yourself interesting. And while you may be no royal guard or hero of the nation, such qualities aren’t so necessary to approach a mare like myself romantically.”

“I-I don’t entirely understand. You...actually find somepony like me appealing? Like as a...mate?” The question asked left him blushing, but the moment was too surreal to not ask it. In the back of Joe’s mind, he was waiting for an ambush of guards or some sort of camera crew to come through the ceiling and make a mockery of him. The pressure on his groin faded as Luna answered him.

“In these modern times, we see many a pairing in both reality and in the dream world built on the flimsiest of reasons. I acknowledge I am not so used to these...how were they called, ‘one night stands’? Frankly, only one night to indulge in one another hardly leaves room to truly be together.” Luna commented. “But we know what we like. A stallion of moral respectability. Kindness. Capable of carrying himself under pressure.”

“...and can cook a mean donut?”

Luna’s smile widened. The nervousness that had been running through Joe’s veins was easing, replaced with a slowly growing cautious optimism. “The phrase comes to mind of ‘kissing the cook’ as many kitchen attires declare is custom.You have helped me to learn culinary skills; perhaps it is time for a different treat to indulge in?”

Joe licked his lips as Luna hovered closer. The height advantage she had was only an inch or two, but it let him meet her alluring gaze with little effort. He felt he could get lost in those depths for as long as she’d let him. The entire rest of the kitchen was silent, as if the very air of the room was holding its own collective breath.

“...lead the way.” He finally said.

Luna closed the distance between them, the press of her lips to his something that Joe found himself sinking into with ease. His experience with mares in the past didn’t leave him inexperienced, but none of those mares were like Luna. She was cool, sensual and soft in texture as he kissed back, bringing a hoof to come up and rest on her shoulder. The assuring motion invited Luna to bring him in closer, deepening the kiss quicker than Joe had anticipated and leaving him wide-eyed before the princess withdrew.

“Your lips are sweet like thine pastries. A bonus of the job, Joe?”

“Well, I couldn’t be a good donut seller if I didn’t try my own craft. Just on the odd occasion.” He replied, prompting a light laugh from Luna. Her horn sparked to life then, and Joe felt the strings of his apron come undone before it and his hat were both placed on a far away counter. He bit back the instinct to cover himself before the mare, deciding that he didn’t need to be bashful around a mare wanting him to be interested in her. From the way Luna’s eyes widened when she saw his arousal, he chose the right way of thinking. “Maybe this Longhorn could whet your appetite?”

“Oh, Joe, you scoundrel. Hiding thine true treats behind such a curtain.” Luna teased before grinning wider as his cock twitched against his barrel. “It pleases us to see thee so eager. But would thou indulge a hungry mare, and seat yourself upon the counter there?”

Joe saw no reason to object, and gave a chuckle once he had himself seated safely on the counter. The new vantage felt a little surreal, something he’d only entertained an idea of once or twice on lonelier nights. In none of those instances he envisioned Luna herself being the mare whose muzzle was positioned directly in front of his member, the mottled brown and pink length a heady contrast to Luna’s blue fur. The lunar princess’ mane shifted as she craned her head left and right, inspecting him and prompting Joe to speak.

“I promise I’m clean?” He offered to her.

“Oh, we knew that the moment our magic caressed thine sack from below. What we require, however, is just a little more flare for the fun of this spirited occasion.” Luna brought her hoof up to caress him as she spoke, the light touch of her hooftip along his length making his skin shiver in delight. “Ah! We’ve just the tool at our disposal.” Her horn began glowing again as she channeled her magic, and Joe couldn’t help the momentary consideration that his junk wasn’t to her hopes. Those thoughts were dashed when one of the glazed donuts they’d made earlier was levitated over and slipped over the flattened blunt end of his cock.

Joe allowed a sound that was a mix of confusion and curiosity to leave his lips as she slid the donut down until it reached the base of his cock, the warm donut doing no harm to Joe beyond making him squirm a little at the sensation squeezing his length. It slid and moved easier thanks to the glaze on said donut, and Joe couldn’t help a chuckle as Luna licked her lips at the sight.

“You know, I’d make a joke about this being a fantasy of mine. But I think you might have laid claim to it already.”

Luna leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Joe’s cocktip, her soft lips a tender caress to his dick before she spoke. “I did say I desired more cream for my treat. Where is the harm in mixing two pleasures of different worlds? All you need to do now is sit back, and allow me my indulgence.” The instruction was followed by a slow, long lick of Luna’s tongue along the upper length of his dick, flicks of her tongue catching droplets of glaze that had slipped from the donut onto his member.

Leaning back and supporting himself with his forehooves, Joe gave an appreciative sigh as Luna worked at his length, her hooves resting on his thighs while continuing to lick and kiss his cock. The alluring way her mane would shimmer as she moved as well as the half-lidded stare she fixed him with when he stared down at her made the whole scenario feel almost like a dream. With it being Luna herself working at him, he was almost tempted to ask if all this really was a dream caused by pent-up lusts and too many work days at the oven. Those thoughts vanished when her muzzle engulfed the first third of his cock, the mare sighing in delight while Joe threw his head back.

Luna’s maw was like sticking his dick in a warm bath, hot and wet and making all his tension vanish away. She lavished what she had in her mouth with tender affection, tongue sliding around his cock in a long circle while she sucked and bobbed her head. His cock was quickly made wet with her saliva, trailing past where her lips rested to sink down to the donut below. “Oh, Luna,” He let out as she worked him over. The mare’s head dipped further down, a few inches away from the donut ring around his cock before she pulled back, using a hoof to stroke him as she spoke.

“When thou art close, warn us. But feel free to touch us if thou wishes.” She instructed before sinking her head back down. The royal mare began a tender, almost loving bobbing motion of her head that made Joe groan and indeed reach out to her. He wove his hooves into her mane, but kept himself from just shoving her down for two reasons. One, it might be the hottest thing he’d ever seen in his life, but the last thing he’d want is to rough Luna up or make her irritated while she blew him. Secondly, being rough might damage the donut she seemed to fixate on booping with her nose on every downward pass. She must’ve had some kind of idea in mind, but Joe was happy to go along with it.

He sniffed and smelled a heady scent in the air, mixing with the delightful cinnamon like aroma of the donuts. Looking to Luna’s reddened cheeks, he guessed this sort of thing was right up her own personal alley as well. He throbbed against her tongue as she sucked him off, the rhythmic motions of her head almost hypnotizing to see as she had almost no struggle to handle his size. Granted he wasn’t the most blessed of stallions, but he’d heard no complaints in the past for his width or length.

Joe regretted that it had been so long since he’d gone without such loving touches from a mare, but going so long made Luna’s efforts feel doubly good. He was already starting to flare, and he took deep breaths to try and stave it off as his hooves twitched in her mane. Luna felt this, and pulled off his spit-shined cock to see his cock throbbing in the air. Her saliva gave it a shine under the lights above, and Joe gave a start as she grasped the donut at the base of his cock before sliding it up and off his length. The odd sensation made him twitch and he bit his lip before moaning as Luna gripped his cock with her free hoof.

“Hold back no longer. Release thine seed for me, Joe.” Luna beckoned, stroking him faster and harder as his cock swelled and flared.

“Luna!” He gasped out before his climax slammed into him, the first shot of cum barreling out of his tip and shooting with enough force that he could feel the weight of it leaving him. It was the first of many, as more and more of his cum poured out and splashed wherever they landed. Joe’s eyes were closed, but he could imagine making quite the mess by the time his orgasm had subsided enough to let him focus and open his eyes again. Luna was still holding his cock, the length softening but staying extended out as a testament to how strong his lust still burned in his body. He could see small splashes of his seed dotting the floor at random intervals, but most of it was actually splashed all over the donut in Luna’s other hoof, as well as long streaks along her foreleg.

“Mmm...delightful.” She purred before taking a hefty bite of the cum-soaked treat. Joe watched in rapt attention and heartfelt desire for the mare as she consumed both his cooked food and essence in equal measure. If she cared for the mess it left on her muzzle and lips, even as a string of white trailed down her chin, it didn’t stop her. The donut lasted only but a few bites before it was gone, and Luna licked her hoof clean of both sugar and cum. “It seems my theory of stallion seed and sweet treats is correct. Both are delicious enough to devour aplenty.”

Joe felt his cock throb in his lap, his face flushed from the lewd display of Luna licking up his essence with no hesitation. “...I think I’m in love.” He let out, prompting Luna to giggle.

“And a worthy love I would hope to be, Joe.” Luna replied, watching as Joe got down from the counter. “Perhaps I should have indulged my wants sooner, instead of waiting so long.”

“You’d be worth the wait,” He insisted, earning a glowing smile from the lunar princess before he continued, “but I’m a giver as much as a taker. And I’ve plenty to give.”

Luna’s glance down at his length made him give an unintended throb, and she looked back to her fellow cook-turned-lover with curious eyes. “You are not fullfilled?”

“That was amazing to feel and experience. But one thing some stallions have learned these days: we don’t leave our mares wanting. Besides,” he leaned in and nuzzled her ear lightly before whispering into it, “I can smell how horny you are from here. So where do we go from here?”

Luna sighed and returned his nuzzle gently, her mane tickling his cheek as she moved. “My bedroom is too far away from here for my patience. I want thee in me, Sir Joe. But...I must make one request of thee, if you’ll allow.”

Joe raised an eyebrow. “What would that be?”

“I...am afraid I’m not exactly safe on this particular evening. In terms of being able to withstand thine seed within my womb, if you understand.” Luna answered. “And I am not so versed in the protective magics sister has spoken of before to me. I fear I would render thee sterile for an eternity than for one evening of my moon.”

The stallion nodded. “Hey, it’s ok. Trust me, there’s still plenty of ways to indulge in fun. We modern folks have had almost too much time to think of it. If you don’t feel comfortable with me going all the way, I can understand. I’d be mighty yearning for it, but I’m a gentle-stallion first.”

Luna smiled at him. “Oh, dearest Joe. Thine patience is indeed a virtue. But I think you misunderstand my meaning.”

“...I do?”

Luna nodded and her voice turned into a sensual whisper that made Joe’s cheeks burn.

“Aim higher, mine stud. If the moon is beyond thine reach, aim for the star.”

Joe blinked. “...Don’t you mean stars?”

“We only have one.”

The stallion could only look confused, making Luna’s eyes roll before she shook her head and smiled at her lover.

“Plow mine ass upon the counter.”

Joe’s ears flicked up at the brazen invitation, making Luna giggle at his expression. His cock, likewise, gave a start and slapped against his barrel. “I’d love to. But first...maybe I should check your rump again. You know. To be sure.”

“Oh? A thorough inspection of the goods, as they say?” Luna replied before trotting to a nearby counter and lifting herself up. The mare’s starry blue tail rose and drifted to the left, leaving her butt entirely on display for Joe. Now that he wasn’t being kept from enjoying the sight, he found himself sincerely appreciative of Luna’s rear end. She had some heft in her cheeks, not as voluminous as her sister’s alleged curves were but enough for any stallion to enjoy. Joe wasted no time in approaching her, the alicorn giving him a light stroke with her tail when he was close enough under his chin.

“We wish thee to be truthful. Especially now as our lover.” Luna said, making Joe tear his attention away from the bountiful butt before him. “Do we...look well?”

“How can I put this…” Joe said as he brought a hoof up to rub it along her left rump cheek. His hoof sank into the soft flesh with ease, making it shake a little as he took a grip of it and moved it to expose her marehood properly. The darkened lips were an inviting sight, a tease that made him lick his lips while the scent of her lust washed through his senses. She was waiting for him to reply, biting her lip as Joe’s breath washed over her skin when he leaned in.

“The dark side of your moons never looked so beautiful.”

With that declaration, Joe dug right in, burying his muzzle in the midst of her rump before letting his tongue lick a long line straight up her nether lips. Luna gave a startled gasp before moaning in contentment, lavishing under Joe’s touch. The stallion placed himself at ease before her, seating himself between her hind legs and using his forehooves to grab and knead at each cheek he could get ahold of. She seemed to yearn for his touch, grinding back into his licking as he toyed with her entrance. He dipped his tongue into her pussy with ease, causing Luna to moan again before she settled.

“Worship our moons, Joe. Show us thine affections!” She urged him. Her tail batted at his head from above, knocking his hat off and caressing all along his ears and the back of his head. The stallion obeyed with gusto, pressing his tongue all the way out and into her wanting nethers. She tasted delicious, a unique flavor with no comparison in Joe’s mind but unspeakably her. Luna would give long gasps as he worked her over, practiced strokes of his tongue running along the roof of her pussy before circling down and back, over and over.

His hooves continued to toy and play with her rump, at one point almost happily squeezing her around his muzzle while she bounced and rubbed against him. Her scent was all over him, he felt, like a silent claim of himself for the lunar princess. She was clean too, like he was; not one bitter or odd taste came to his tongue. He could smell the sweat and sweet nectar of her marehood as he basked in her, and before long, had his eyes on another prize right before him.

Luna’s asshole was surprisingly more inviting looking than most others he’d seen before. Every pony has a different kind of bum, of course, and Joe reasoned an alicorn would be especially different. The ring of it was a little puffy, a darker shade of blue and almost black like her cutie mark was. Yet it twitched and flexed as he toyed with her pussy, and the invitation to do much more naughty things with her became too great to resist.

“Oh, Joe, thine tongue is...Joe? What art thou-” Luna’s question was muffled to the stallion’s ears, which did have some blockage from two hefty blue cheeks on either side of his head. But the answer he needed to give was granted when Luna felt his tongue circle the ring of her asshole, making her hind legs shake and her face to burn scarlet. “J-Joe! Such an adventurous stallion!”

The donut-maker only gave a soft laugh before kissing her tight hole lightly, then resuming his tongue work to playing with the plump yet clean flesh surrounding it. In Joe’s opinion, Luna seemed exceptionally sensitive around here, her voice rising in pitch with every little effort he took to please her. His saliva soon had her asshole covered in wetness, and with a little work, he was able to pop the tip of his tongue into her as a test for himself and for her.

Luna squealed, and Joe let his tongue rest for just a couple moments before pulling back out. She was tight, immensely so, but she was also thankfully clean as far as he could detect.

“Does that help satisfy you, your majesty?” Joe asked when he lifted his head up and back from her saliva-soaked rump. Luna, at first, gave a light bounce of said rump as if to entice him to go again. A look over her shoulder made Joe see nothing but wanton lust in Luna’s eyes.

“I will only be satisfied when thine rod spears my rump, and I scream to the heavens. Delay me no more; take me.”

“I want to. But we need lubricant.” Joe replied, gesturing at his cock and then her butt. “This won’t go long on just saliva and charm.”

Thud.

Joe paused at the sight of a container of coconut butter, which had come out of nowhere from his perspective. “Uh.”

“I am not the only one who sneaks paramours into the kitchens. My sister forgets I see all in the night.” Luna told him as her magic undid the top of the container. “Come here. Present thine cock.”

Joe did his best to obey, rearing up on his hind legs and letting his shaft rest atop Luna’s rump. Her magic brought a swath of the butter to his member and soon had it coated in the material. He gave a test thrust between her cheeks, and found it immensely easy to glide through the valley of her rump, his cock twitching from the contact.

“Now,” Luna trailed off as she used a smaller dollop of the butter on her backdoor, before her magic worked itself to pull her rump cheeks apart and giving Joe a prime display of her waiting port, “Claim me, Joe.”

“With pleasure.” He pushed forward and aligned his tip with her plothole, using one hoof to do so while the other stabilized him atop the counter with her. Joe had only a little experience in trying to do this, and knew one core component was patience. So when he didn’t get to penetrate Luna straight away, he wasn’t deterred. The stallion snorted and pressed more firmly against her, while Luna cooed in want beneath him.

With the help of Luna’s magic, the lubricant, and Joe’s good fortune, he didn’t have to wait long to pop inside her rump. He felt her grab onto him once he was inside, her grip making him stop. His ears strained to listen for any sounds of pain from the lunar princess, but she gave none. Her tail batted his leg, and she looked over her shoulder at him with a raised eyebrow.

“Just...letting you adjust.” He said at her look before gritting his teeth and flexing his hip muscles in preparation.

“We can handle a little roughNESS!” Luna exclaimed out as Joe pushed and buried over half of himself into her waiting tunnel. Luna flopped onto the counter as Joe loomed over her from above, both forehooves pressed to the countertop as his chest rested against her back. “...we see thine wisdom now.”

“Should I stop?”

“Nay. The pain is easy. And enticing.” Luna’s grin made him throb in her plot. “Rut me with all the passion you can muster.”

The stallion hardly needed more invitation than that. With a snort, he pulled back, only managing to tug free about a third of himself from her tight depths. Even with the lubricant applied generously, it seemed Luna had quite the strong backside. Joe repaid it’s tightness in kind with a firm deep thrust, evoking a moan from Luna as he started to work himself into a rough rhythm of deep strokes back and forth. The counter would creak every time he leaned into her, but it wasn’t too audible over the noises coming from Luna.

“Yes...yes. Spread me. Spear me with thine shaft!” Luna yelled.

Joe couldn’t help letting loose a groan himself from how she was gripping him. The lube was helping to keep him moving, but the pleasure of her tight hole around his cock was exhilarating. It wasn’t just the fact he hadn’t had a mare wanting to do anal for some time, but the fact that he had one of the royal sisters under him, moaning his name, begging for him to please her, that drove him on. Too long had he gone without a lover, too many nights alone. Now he could unload it all onto Luna, who was taking everything he had with gusto.

He lowered his torso over her and wrapped his forelegs around her middle, minding the mare’s wings as they were extended out on either side. His breath ran over her neck as her voice moaned and cooed in his ear, driving him to push harder and faster. The rhythm they shared gained speed as Joe’s thick cock plowed her ass deep, the slapping sound of his hips on her rump filling the air. A wetness was developing on Joe’s balls, he realized, coming from the way his sack was colliding into Luna’s snatch. She was positively soaked with desire from this rough sex.

“Ruin me! Ravish me!” Luna called out.

A voice in the back of Joe’s mind warned him of the peril he’d be in if Luna’s ecstasy summoned a too-suspicious guard patrolling the area. He got the answer he wanted for the problem when the metal pan nearby clattered when Luna’s hoof bumped into it. Some of the glazed donuts still rested there, and thinking quickly, he levitated one over to Luna’s muzzle. The surprised “mmf!” that she let out told him he managed to use the sweet-tasting gag correctly, and Luna let it stay as he hammered at her rump.

“Fuck...fuck, Luna, you’re so good. It feels so good!” He huffed out. “Your ass is amazing!”

Luna could only muster a deep “mmmm” through her donut gag, and Joe swore his balls had felt liquid splash onto them. If she had climaxed from all this, then he was definitely doing things right by her. He had no forethought to ask though, his mind doing its best to keep his rhythm for her pleasure and keep his own impending climax back from coming too soon. Joe wanted to make it memorable for Luna as best he could.

The alicorn seemed to pick up on this though, and brought his undoing in an unexpected play with her tail. The elongated length of hair coiled around his neck, not tight enough to harm but more like a scarf of stars and night sky. Her scent washed through him as he deeply breathed her in, and his hips bucked faster still. The pace was abandoned, and Joe surrendered to the lust brimming around the pair. He growled, snorted, and laid claim to Luna’s body for his own taking. She took in everything he had, and as he flared deep within her, she wrapped a foreleg around his own to hold on.

The orgasm that had been building in Joe surged out without warning, making the stallion bury himself to the hilt within her as his seed splashed out and flooded her ass. Every pulse of his cock made him groan, and Luna soon joined him as the warm cum filled her bowels and stayed there with his cock blocking the way. She trembled, and the donut gag fell from her mouth as her tongue extended out, gasps of air leaving the winded mare. The spurts of cum slowed to trickles, and finally, Joe’s body gave out as he laid there atop her, his shaft softening and slipping from her ass when he maneuvered himself out properly.

“...that was...wow.” Joe mustered the strength to say as he laid beside Luna, using the counter to help hold him up. He glanced over at the lunar princess’ rump, and felt an odd sense of pride as his cum slowly dripped down from her slowly easing hole to trail down her legs. The white was especially prominent against her dark blue fur, something she’d surely need to wash out in the bath.

“Verily so, wow.” Luna agreed. “Thine stamina and thine vigor would leave lesser mares broken.” She lifted her head, looking to him past wild strands of her mane. “Would thou have a third round within them?”

Joe wanted to say yes, but every bit of him could hardly move. “The spirit is always willing. But the flesh needs rest. And water.” He admitted. “You’re better than any mare I’ve ever had in my life.”

“Even the mares in thine dreams?” She teased.

“I think there’s only gonna be one mare in those dreams. In all fairness.” He replied, making her giggle softly before she moaned and let her cheek rest against the cool countertop.

“If thine dreams are like this, I will most certainly need better pillows. And perhaps a kitchen with a bed inside it.”

“Chef Pony Joe!”

The declaring voice of Luna reached every corner of Joe’s humble cafe, making the stallion jump a little behind the counter before turning about. He smiled at the sight of the lovely lunar princess before looking confused at the sight of the larger alabaster alicorn beside her. Celestia was a presence all ponies of Canterlot knew, and while she had visited on the odd occasion in the past, it had still been some time since the last visit.

“Y-your majesties. Welcome.” He gave a light bow to the two, prompting a smile from Celestia and a wave of the hoof from Luna. “It’s an honor to have you both in my little bakery.”

“Luna has sung nothing but praises of your creations, Joe. And I can recall myself of times I have visited with nothing but positive memories. So at her suggestion to visit, I saw no reason to deny her or myself.” Celestia explained.

“Thou spoke of creating a new confectionery, Sir Joe? We would love to see it.” Luna insisted.

“Oh! Right. Right over here, actually.” He pointed at a nearby glass container where he displayed his latest cooked creations. For this week, he had taken special care to make a new form of blueberry donut. “I was...inspired, recently, after a show of the stars by Her Majesty,” Joe explained with a nod to Luna, “and so I decided to make an effort to try and capture some of the same magic.”

“Well, let us see how it is. Blueberry is not a taste I see too often.” Celestia remarked, and Joe gladly levitated one to her with a napkin to hold it. She took a healthy bite out of it, and gave a surprised sound as cream dripped from the middle of the donut. “Oh my.”

“A surprise twist to it.” Joe explained, glancing at Luna. The mare was grinning, and Joe realized she was grinning directly at him. He looked back to Celestia, and saw her giving the donut an inquisitive look.

“Inspired by my dear sister, you said?” Celestia repeated.

“Y-yes, ma’am.” Luna’s smile grew wider as the taller alicorn cast a wizened look to the smaller alicorn.

“The design is quite endearing to her.”

The donut itself was colored a blue not unlike Luna’s fur, with patches of dark chocolate here and there. A touch of sprinkles adorned the chocolate as well, but the white cream stood out as it oozed out from the opening due to Celestia’s bite.

“Ehehe.”

Celestia raised an elegant eyebrow and watched as Luna finally broke off from staring at her sister, glancing to the side and letting the lightest of pinks come to her cheeks. The solar princess looked at Joe, and he gulped as she smiled almost a little too sweetly.

“Tell me then, Sir Joe. What is your opinion and skill involving cakes?”
