Equestria Handyman

“...I’m sorry we had to have this conversation over the phone lad.”

“It ok Mr. Nail I…I understand.”

“Believe me when I tell you that if it were up to me or my wives I would gladly let you stay, heck! I might give you the whole store, but Planks and Nails has been in our family for generations, and after receiving the news of my colt coming back from a colleague to keep tradition, I thought it was time to retire and let the new continue. I asked if you could stay but unfortunately they need that space as well, to make a crib.”

“Wow, that is huge Mr. Nail! I’m so happy to hear you are gonna be a grandpa!”

He heard a weak chuckle from the other side. “Thank you I’m not gonna lie I’m a bit excited at the idea too. Do you have a place to go?”

“Yeah, I had some bits lying around in case I needed to go to a hotel or something for a while, and the Princess…” he looked around to his room “…they say I could stay in one of their guest rooms if anything ever happened.”

“So glad to hear that, I was terrified of thinking that I was throwing an honest hard working lad into the street without anywhere to go. Would you mind saving time if we pack your stuff?”

“Sure I know I can trust you and Ms Plank, just try not to hurt your back lifting something heavy ok?”

“Ha! You are sounding like the misses now! Don’t worry I will be fine and we will be careful with your stuff, I will send you the address of the container where you can pick them up anytime you wish.”

“Thank you.”

“No Mark, thank you for all the help you have given us in our store, you will always have the employed discount if you ever need anything from the store.”

“I will keep it in mind, thank care Mr. Nail.”

“You too lad and congratulate your marefriend from my part, when you see her.” He end up with a chuckle before hanging up.

Ok how did HE know? Is Bella right? Is Fluttershy just gloating about what happened to her now?

He questions with a raised eyebrow until he hears a knock on his room and opening it he sees both Princesses and Lieutenant Silver standing there.

“Good evening young Mark,” Luna says solemnly “May we come in?”

“Ah…sure” He invited them over. Not sure what all of them wanted to talk about, and soon everyone found a seat around his table “So, how can I help you?”

“We mostly wanted to talk and see how have you been doing” Celestia responds

“Miss. Swan told us how you had a lot on your mind and thought you might want to talk about it.” Silver continued.

“Thanks for the concern everyone, I could actually use someone to talk to.” He says with a small smile. “The idea of entering the dating game and later, starting a herd have been…a bit overwhelming, exciting and eye opening, in a good way.”

“Why not tell us about it.”

“Well I suppose it all started when Bon Bon, Lyra and Rarity decided to set me up on a small blind date…” Mark opens his tale and after a couple of hours finished with how he arrives at where he is, the mood improves as they share stories and even at some point request some tea and cookies to munch while chatting.

“…and then the next morning she blindsided me one final time with a complete makeover. Don’t get me wrong I’m extremely sure that was completely her decision and she merely wanted to feel more comfortable in her own body, not caring showing it a bit more but…well.”

“You also want to take credit for thinking you fucked some confidence into her with your performance right?” Silver inquired with a raised eyebrow.

“I wouldn’t have said fuck granted…but yeah that too.” They share a small laugh and Mark holds his cup. The whole experience made him realize something, until tonight every time I have been with a lady I have done everything in my power to make sure she is satisfied. I really don’t mind, actually I’m a giving lover. The illusion of working for my prize made me feel like I actually earned my satisfaction and felt joy. I dare to say I might not be able to perform all that well unless my partner has had one or two orgasms before I can.”

Because he was looking down Mark didn’t notice the small heat he was forming in all the mares present, with Celestia being the strongest from past experience and Luna and weakest as she was mainly having some curiosity on the matter.

“Not completely sure why, maybe it was mainly a fear of being a quick shooter or something you know?” He chuckle and look back at them “They can’t be all that mad at me for finishing first if they had a turn running some ‘laps’ before I start.”

“It could be a factor, yeah, although that in itself is also considering being a generous lover.” Luna explained. “Your concern for your partner outweighs your craving for personal satisfaction. A very sweet trait in a lover that lots of mares would find touching, thoughtful maybe even a turn on for some cases.”

“Yeah I gathered as much but last night, what happened with Fluttershy it was different in a way. It was the first time the roles were reversed and for the first time I was only concerned about MY personal satisfaction before hers. I mean it kind of was also HERS because she wanted to be dominated and my god was it cathartic, and letting go of any restraints on…so many levels, but I’m still surprised that there was a restraint to begin with.”

“We all have that kind of inner self.” Luna smiles and grabs his hand. “It’s a part of what makes us, us, and most of the time we are unaware it even exists in the first place but it is always there, so when you see it for the first time it can truly be quite the shock.” She let go and grab her cup “What is important is learning to accept it and understand that there is nothing wrong of having that shadow in you. Take it from me, ignoring it will never make it go away and would only make things worse for your health.”

Celestia looks at her sister in concern and puts a hand over her shoulder as she looks back at her and smiles in understanding.

“Thanks Luna, and don’t worry, the last thing I want is to ignore it. I kind of like the idea of being a bit of a hunter, and I’m more than grateful to Fluttershy to let me discover it. So much so I only want to repay her kindness as the giving lover that I am.”

“Oh then may I suggest something to do just that?” Celestia inquired with a big smirk on her face.

“Sure, what do you think Celestia?”

“If you really wish to repay her, then next time you see her, don’t say a word, just march over to her, grab her cheeks and plant one strong kiss on her lips to tease her a little, she will love it”

“Sister, what do you have in mind?” Luna raises an eyebrow at her sister, not sure if she likes the grin she was sporting.

“What? Just because they like to tease doesn’t mean a dominant can’t tease on occasion as well right? Just try not to linger too much though.” Celestia warns him “She could get the wrong impression and get mad if there isn’t much of a follow up.”

“I will keep it in mind.” Mark chuckles and nods thinking about the idea. “And thanks for listening, you were right, I feel much better already.”

“It was our pleasure sir.” Silver replied “We are glad you are better now and trusting in us to share some intimate aspects in your life.”

“Yeah I imagine I might as well, considering how honest and calm you have been sharing some aspects of your life too.”

He taps the edge of his cup for a moment remembering something that made him pause “Say, one last thing I wanted to ask. Do dragons hold grudges, or have a good memory?”

“You mean like elephants?” Celestia inquired with a raise eyebrow.

“Ah...kind of maybe.”

“Well they could hold a grudge, sure, but when it comes to memory it is similar to a pony it depends on the dragon, why the question?” Luna's question confused by the change of subject.

“Just curious about something” Silver eyes widened remembering the event a year ago and understanding what he was implying.

“Don’t worry sir, you didn’t hunt that dragoness.”

“I didn’t?”

“Dragoness?” Both Princesses question in surprise before looking at Mark, and then smirk, who simply blushes and looks away. “It is kind of a long story, the short version is, I might have accidentally triggered my Primal briefly some time ago.”

“Which is totally fine considering it was a strip club, and like I said there is nothing to worry about.” Silver elaborates as the Princesses now more than ever wanted to hear the story.

“Trust me, chances are that dragoness, most likely doesn’t even remember your face by this point.” Silver assured him with a confident smile.

At that moment at the Crystal Empire

Calmingly filling some reports on her desk the Princess of Love heard a knock on the door followed by a guard stepping in.

“Yes?”

“Apologies, your majesty, but the dragon lord is here to see you, and she says that it is an urgent matter.”

Ember? The Princess looks at the guard confused before nodding. “Thank you soldier, send her in.”

“At once your highness.” He salutes and leaves the room, moments later the dragoness in question walks inside with a neutral and calm pose. She was wearing golden armor legging, a brown armour body piece, a red cape and the dragon lord scepter.

She kept staring at the Princess of Love, calm and collected until the door behind her was closed and her expression twists into one of anger. “What did you do to me?” She calmly asks while glaring at said Princess.

“Excuse me?”

“Don’t play coy with me Princess, I know you must have done some sparky thing with that horn of yours and put something in my mind! Don’t know why you want to torture me but you better take it away this instant!”

“Ember, calm down, I swear I have no idea what you are talking about.” Cadence defends herself trying to calm the distressed dragoness.

“Yes you are, otherwise why am I still being haunted by the face of that scrawny human!”

“I have no idea, I…” She pauses again. “...could you repeat that last part”

“I been trying for almost a year now but that stupid glare of his keeps repeating over and over in my head!, and I want it to stop!”

“I see, Ember. I think I know what is happening and I definitely can help.”

“You better.”

“But to do so I will have to take a call very quickly, do you mind…?”

“Fine, but you better not be planning something Cadence, or I will hand this castle to my subjects as a snack.”

“Don’t worry you can count on me.” She excuses herself to the bathroom to make the call but not before having a giggle fit under her breath.
