“... and so that was how I got my first real kiss on the lips.” Spike finished, rubbing the back of his neck while Sinuous rubbed the tears from her eye as he recounted his farewell from Gabby.

“That’s… so sad…” she said, her expression forlorn.

It had been a month since the two had reconnected and with their constant interactions, topical discussions were quickly dug through and discussed, soon leading to discussions that were of the more intimate manner. The only requirement was for the speaker to be emotionally ready to share it.

“Yeah, it kinda still haunts me.” Spike continued. It was growing late in the day and the games had been put away as the two sat on Sinuous’ couch and recounted events from their past. “But surely you have to have had a better first kiss than I did.” he finished. Sinuous scrunched her nose and thought for a moment.

“Well I think that is a little harder to explain… because back when Chrysalis had us under her thrall, we had to use every possible trick to steal love. So kissing and… other things had to be expected to sell the illusion.” she said, looking at the ground as it evidently bothered her to some degree, though by this point, Spike knew she would tell him she wasn’t comfortable talking about it and she hadn’t done so yet.

“Well, then how about you tell me if there was a kiss that wasn’t part of a deception. A point where you shared a kiss that was mutual.” Spike suggested. Sinuous mulled that over and rubbed her chin.

“Well, if we count my unicorn disguise in ponyville…” she thought for a moment, then flushed and held in a small laugh. “Sweet Celestia… Okay so, I was being sort of a handymare and would go to whoever needed an extra pair of hooves. Sometimes I would get monetary payment, other times I just got a bit of whatever was being worked on. But on this day, there was to be a large banquet and Sugarcube corner was really overworked, so I agreed to help with the baking and buying of extra ingredients for whatever they needed. We ended up finishing the decorative meals just before the banquet started, and we were all so excited that we did it. I… kinda wasn’t paying attention and in my excitement, I planted a firm one… right on his lips…”

“His… Who?” Spike asked as she was leaving the statement hanging in the air.

“Carrot Cake.” she said. Spike’s eyes widened and before he could say anything she spoke up. “RIGHT in front of his wife Cup Cake. I felt SO embarrassed after doing that, but Mrs. Cake was understanding about the rush of excitement.” she said, though her smile faded. “She was… far less understanding when she learned what I really was and was one of the ones who gave more biting comments about what I did.” she sighed and shook her head and soon Spike’s strong arm wrapped around her back and he pulled her close before she leaned against him.

“Hey, those days are over. Tell me, after I met you and talked to you, did you ever kiss anyone out of your disguise?” he said in a softer tone, but she responded with another sigh.

“No. I never really felt that elation or, well, safe enough with anypony to try doing it again, even though I was turning my life around and was having a much better time than before you found me.” she said. There was a moment of silence before she felt Spike shift and she felt a hand under her chin, making her look up. Spike was flushed, but he looked mournful, apologetic. This made it all the more surprising for her when he leaned in and pressed his lips to her own. Her crimson eyes shot open wider and she remained frozen for a moment before she clamped them shut and pushed back into the kiss.

It was a simple, topical kiss of lips pressed to lips before being abruptly broken as Spike pulled back, an uneasy smirk on his face that wanted to be a full smile but never got there.

“That’s for being a friend to me when I was alone in the world.” he said firmly. “So no matter what happens from here on out, you’ve got that positive memory to think of and share if anyone asks you that question.”

“Spike…” Sinuous started before her welling eyes became too cloudy. She pressed herself to his chest and he hugged her tightly as she wept, Spike slowly stroking her head.

“I just want you to know that, I’ll never leave you. I’ll never stop being your friend. Not if I can help it.” he said in a firm, assuring tone.

Two months had passed since Spike and Sinuous had reconnected and become real friends, and one month had passed since Spike had kissed her briefly and opened her heart a bit more, helping her come to terms with her own difficulty in her heart, and since then, if Spike had any free time, he spent it at Sinuous’ home. While the topics were often between Sinuous and Spike’s own past, it eventually grew into Spike telling her about his old friends, his old exploits, adventures, and old passions he cared for. When he wasn’t sharing his stories with her, they frequently played games and just enjoyed each other’s company.

This led to a day where, after a long O&O session that went late into the night, Sinuous stopped Spike at the door as he went to leave.

“Say Spike, since we keep playing this late anyway, how about we have a sleep over? You can crash on my couch and we can play O&O all night long and not worry about taking too long.” Spike chuckled and looked at the dark sky that was barely beginning to light out before he yawned and stretched.

“Sounds like a plan. I’ll check my schedule and we can plan accordingly.” he said, giving her a bright smile, which made her smile in return before he waved his goodbye and flew off in the direction of the castle.

It was less than a week later that a day had been set for the two of them to meet up and then have a full two days uninterrupted at her home, and when the day arrived, Spike made sure he would get there to make the most of it.

Spike left the castle after double checking all of his appointments and scheduling before he flew away into the town. He knew the way to Sinuous’ home as if it was his own and arrived in the early afternoon. He knocked upon her door and there was a click as it unlocked and opened and he walked right in, the door shutting behind him and he heard it latch, but he noticed he didn’t see where Sinuous was and what little lighting there was was fairly dim.

“Have a seat on the couch. I’ll be out in a moment.” she said in an almost singsongy way, still out of view. Spike shrugged and did as she asked, sitting and relaxing into the corner against the armrest. He wasn’t sure what she was doing, but he just assumed he caught her in the bathroom. Eventually he heard hoofsteps down the hallway. “Hey, sorry if I came here while you were in the-” he stopped his sentence instantly as he saw that Sinuous was not the one walking down the hallway, but rather a unicorn with a rather beautifully kept mane. Her horn glowed for a moment and suddenly the lighting shifted and he saw her in full.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, dahling.” came the very familiar voice of Rarity as she walked… no… sashayed closer to him.

“R-Rarity?! What are you doing… I mean… How did…” Spike just fumbled over words as she walked closer and he saw that there was more to her than just being Rarity, but she had her lashes done, she was wearing eyeshadow, and wore cherry lipstick.

“You really are such a HANDSOME dragon, dahling. It’s such a shame I never openly said so all those years ago.” she said, though something was off, and it took a moment before Spike figured it out. The makeup was not “perfect”, the lipstick was slightly crooked and Rarity was… too young. He knew Rarity had put some lines on her face and had a rather lovely gray streak in her mane, but this Rarity was pristine as the day he first went to ponyville.

“Sinuous?” he said. “What are you doing?” he asked, knowing it had to be his friend and that she was imitating what she saw in the photos he’d shared with her. Her expression broke for a moment before she returned to the practiced and now rather fake performance.

“Why dahling, I’m your Rarity tonight. There is no Sinuous here.” she said, a flush crossing her face. Spike narrowed his eyes at her in a confused manner. She tried to keep the sultry expression on her face for a bit longer before she began to blush and became embarrassed and then completely broke character. “Oh, I’m sorry! You said you liked-” there was a flash of green flame and instead of Rarity before him, it was Gabby the griffon.

“What-” was all Spike got out before she started talking.

“Hey there, Spikey! I’m so glad you could make it over to my sleep over, but we’re not going to get a lot of sleeping done, if you catch my drift!” she said in an excited tone, but Spike hardly heard her words because she had forgotten that… she was still wearing the crooked lipstick, eyelashes, and eyeshadow, which was extremely obvious on a beak. His scrutinizing eyes made her smile fade and her acting break once more.

“Sinuous… I think you’re forgetting that-” he was cut off again by another flash of green fire and now standing before him was Dragon Lady Ember… with the lashes, eyeshadow, and crooked lipstick.

“Oh right, dragons don’t do foreplay, so spread those legs and let me see if you’re worthy of-” but this time Spike interrupted, standing up and towering over her.

“Sinuous, snap out of it!” he barked at her. Her expression broke instantly and her knees wobbled before there was another green flash, the lighting in the room returned to it’s normal brightness, and the crimson changeling stood before him, her teeth grit as she looked at him and tried not to cry out of sheer embarrassment. She sat on the spot and hung her head.

“I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… I…” she started to turn to run down the hallway, but Spike had too many years of experience to let her run off and leave this unresolved, so he grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her to sit on the couch with him.

“Nu-uh, you’re going to sit here with me and talk.” he said in a strict tone before he put a hand under her chin and made her look him in the eye. “Just like we always do.” he said, a charming smile returning to his face. Sinuous just leaned forward onto him and he hugged her in response as she began to cry. He just let her, slowly stroking the back of her head until her crying abated and her breathing returned to a more or less normal pattern, at which point he gently let go of her and let her sit back. Her eyeshadow was smudge, as was the lipstick and one of the lashes had fallen off.

“I… I just… I wanted tonight to be special. I mean, I know it’s only been two months but… after that kiss a month ago and all the time we’ve spent together… I like you, Spike.” she said, looking somewhat mournfully at him. This time, Spike blushed as he finally registered all the things she had said, the lighting, the makeup, and the overnight excuse. Spike was silent a moment, perhaps a bit longer than he wanted to be, but he finally spoke up.

“So, you wanted to seduce me as one of my old friends?” he asked, just making sure he knew her plan.

“I just wanted to make sure I was irresistible to you.” she said in a strained tone. “I wanted to make sure that if I risked our friendship being broken, I should just use the form of someone you had mentioned you had at least some interest in. I didn’t want to upset you or make it weird… but I did exactly that…” she said as she hung her head and while it was softer, she began crying again. Spike was quiet again before she felt him stand up and walk away and her heart hammered hard in her chest. She knew she was going to hear that front door open and slam shut, then she’d never see him again. She couldn’t look up. She wanted her last memory of him to be that expression of him smiling at her. She couldn’t let it be an expression of rage or just his back. However, the door never slammed. In fact, it never opened and she soon felt the couch deform again as he sat back down and lifted her head up and she dared to look at him, only to find his smiling face again.

“I can’t believe you forgot.” he said. She blinked only for him to bring a moist cloth up to her face and start scrubbing it. “You didn’t need to be Rarity or Gabby or Ember. You didn’t need these fake eyelashes,” he removed the flimsily attached lashes. “Eye shadow,” he coaxed her to shut one eye as he scrubbed it, then the other. “Or this lipstick.” he said as he rubbed her lips clean and set the cloth on the table next to him. “You only ever needed to be you… Since I like you for who you are, not who you can pretend to be.” She slowly began to smile before she chuckled.

“Y-yeah, that really was silly of me.” she said, swallowing and breathing a little more calmly. “I shouldn’t have tried to hide again… I should have just told you that I L… L… Love you.” she strained out. Spike blushed as she spoke those words and swallowed.

“L-love? Are you sure it’s not just a crush? Th-that you won’t feel the same way after a while?” he said, his voice now taking it’s turn to waver.

“I thought about that. But… I… I think I fell in l-l-love with you the second time you came for a visit… My day revolves around you, I make all my plans around you, and it’s not like I ignore you or have you serve me or do chores… We talk, we play games, share hobbies, tell stories… And I wanted to… do more with you.” She said softly.

“M-more… like-”

“Like more kissing… like… getting intimate…” she said softer, getting her face a little closer to his own, but she stopped, not wanting to scare him or push something he didn’t want. “If… if you don’t want to go that far… I’d like you to tell me right now, because I… I really can’t hold these feelings for you anymore…” Sinuous was worried that she dropped too much on him all at once, but had to get this out. Spike looked around nervously before he looked at her again. He looked into her crimson eyes, the faded lighter part being her equivalent of pupils as she looked intently at him and all he could see was… Someone who cared about him for who he is. Not what he did, not his reputation, but the person he is.

“I think…” he swallowed but then gently grasped Sinuous, pulling her into his lap. “That maybe… this is what needs to happen.” he said as he continued looking into her eyes. He could feel her heart thrumming hard as her chest pressed to his and she leaned her face closer, her lips puckering as her eyes lidded and finally, her lips touched his own. Her whole form shuddered and soon, she melted into the feeling as she felt Spike return it, his body likewise softening as he stroked her back. Not as surprising as the first, this kiss felt so natural. Nothing fell apart, no one chided them, it was just the two of them enjoying it as it grew a bit deeper, the two taking moments to pull and suckle at each other’s lips. As he stroked her back, he cupped her rump, and at first she wiggled into his strong hands, but then she froze, breaking the kiss and freezing his hands with her magic.

“W-wait… Spike… Are you sure you… want me as… myself?” she asked. Spike was puzzled. “Because… well, changelings are not like griffons or ponies or dragons. We’re… different and… many books talk about how scary or creepy we are there…” she said. Spike was still puzzled and spoke.

“If you know you could… well… successfully… do it with a dragon like me… then why is it weird?” he asked. She looked down for a moment before she gently used her magic to move the fingers of his right hand to touch her lips. Spike swallowed as he had seen mare and griffon rumps a plenty but this was the first time he’d actually touched someone intimately. He felt her control his fingers, stroking her moist, soft, hot lips, then she slid one of his fingers inside. Oh how amazing that felt; silky soft warmness all around… Then he felt “it” as he felt something “grip” his finger. It didn’t hurt, but even though she stopped controlling him with her magic, he found he couldn’t pull out. “What the…”

“It’s something female changelings have. We can hold our partners in us… stimulate them more… or even hurt them if we don’t want them as a partner. It looks creepy to most ponies… it’s… kinda why I tried to be somepony else.” She looked away again, but he used his free hand to make her look at him again as he kissed her on the lips once more before he pulled back.

“If I’m going to be with you, I want to be with all of you.” he said, though he flushed a moment. “But uh… little warning… I… haven’t actually done this before.” Sinuous gave him a blank look before she blinked, her loins freeing his finger.

“Wait… you really haven’t been with anypony before? Not even one night stands?” she asked and Spike nodded.

“Yeah… if it wasn’t honest love, then I didn’t want to do it.” he said. Sinuous just smiled.

“Well, guess that makes two of us.” she said as Spike looked at her. “I, uh… have a toy or two… but… um… never had a real one, especially not a dragon.” she gave a nervous giggle. Spike smiled a bit and swallowed.

“Well, I guess it’s a good thing we have all night because… uh, well… I really don’t think I’ll be able to last for my first time. I’m liable to kinda explode right away… or so I’ve read can happen.” he said, rubbing his head bashfully.

“The sleepover idea was actually to kinda work out these kinks… and just have fun. I want to be calm and secure with you… just as I want you to be calm and secure with me.” They smiled at one another before she felt something warm pressing against her rump and she quickly looked over her shoulder to see his firm, textured, slightly purplish shaft jutting up behind her. She grinned and fluttered her wings, doing an expert backflip out of his lap and onto the floor in front of him before walking back up to look at what Spike had to offer. He fidgeted slightly in his seat as she got close to him, prompting her to speak. “May I touch it?”

“Y-yeah, just be gentle. It doesn’t bend much.” he warned. She nodded before her attention was focused on his shaft jutting from a part in his groin scales. It was meaty and had a sort of rippling wave to it with a prominent triangular head. A head that Sinuous recalled reading about, meant to coax a female dragon to let him inside of her. She leaned even closer to it, watching as it bobbed in time with his heartbeat, a drop of fluid present at the tip. She slowly pressed her snout against it and Spike groaned. She coaxed another groan out of him as she ran her lips along the underside, but when she gave the middle underside a gentle kiss, the length gave a much more firm twitch and a single rope of clear fluid shot out of it. She blinked a moment.

“Wow… you really are excited…” she said, smiling and swallowing as she looked at him. “Me too…” Spike was blushing but he smiled and stood up. He could see her legs jitter and she turned her back to him, but her elegant tail was pulled down. “I… I don’t know if you’ll still want to do it if you see me back there…”

“If I’m going to be your lover, I’m going to see it eventually. After all, how bad could it be?” he asked as he knelt down behind her and placed a hand on her rump.

“Don’t ask that question…” she said, almost a little angrily. Spike watched her head hang low before her tail raised up and exposed herself to him. It seemed mostly like a mare with the tight ring of her rump and the fleshy wide lips. He gently placed his thumbs on either side of her lips, trembling as he did so, before he pulled the wet lips apart in a rather erotic squishing sound, strings of her juices reaching from one internal wall to another. He still didn’t see anything weird at first, until she winked her clitoris. As he looked at it, he suddenly saw three pairs of long, finger-like structures all coming from the floor of her vagina just behind her clitoris. They opened and closed in a wave like motion, even bending, and at that point he could see the little claw tips they had. It was unusual, that was for sure.

“And these claws are used for when someone tries to force you into sex?” he asked.

“Or keep them inside me longer… I once held a toy in me for an entire day.” she said with a weak chuckle. She heard him shift and stand up and she quickly looked over her shoulder, wondering if he was going to stop… before he suddenly showed her his hand. She looked at his palm a moment, then at his face.

“You see these hands? These claws?” he asked. She nodded, confused. “Just about every day, my sensitive flesh meets these hands and I’ve never once been hurt by them. So I trust you.” he said. She shivered and hadn’t quite noticed it, but she had squared her hips and set her legs apart.

“Please… I can tell you’re close… I… I want it in me. Even if it’s fast.” she pleaded.

“But, what about-”

“I’ve been taking contraceptives for the past week to prepare.” she said, rather fiercely blushing as she looked over her shoulder at him. “So please…” she asked, her expression literally begging him.

“Okay… I hope I don’t hurt you so… tell me if you need me to stop.” he said as he gently grasped her hips in both hands. She shuddered under him and at first he thought she was scared, and maybe she was, but the floor was greeted by spilling drops of her juices from her lips. He swallowed hard, looking down as he angled his hips and gently touched the head to her lips, the heat from the contact making him spurt another jet on her, which in turn made her wink at him. He pressed a bit more firmly and watched and felt as the head slipped between her folds and… he didn’t even notice the claws as he was bathed in a very hot, very soft embrace. He slowly pushed more into her but felt some sticky resistance and pulled back, seeing his length glossy with her juices, before he tried to push back into her, getting deeper before he pulled back and did it again. Sinuous was breathing in deep, slow breaths that were getting more and more uneasy. Spike’s instincts overtook him and made him push harder than normal to get the last bit of his shaft in her, his muscular hips pressing to her rump, every inch of himself inside of her. He somewhat doubled over her back, hugging her body, which he soon found was vibrating.

“Unnnng!” Sinuous let out a decidedly un-lady-like groan before Spike suddenly felt a firm tightening around the base of his sensitive shaft, but also her insides in general were much more tense. “SPIIIIIIIKE!” she let out in a shrill tone as she grit her teeth in a very strained yet pleased expression as she vibrated harshly under him, her insides suddenly clamping on him in full before pulsing in a firm, rhythmic throbbing while a fresh, hot wet wave soaked across his sensitive shaft before leaking out against his groin as she came very hard. Spike tried to ride out the incredibly erotic show she had put on while she also did near pure magic on his shaft. He was glad she gave him the okay earlier to climax inside of her as a slight tug revealed she had a hold of him and would not let go, but the motion provided just a bit of needed friction on his shaft before he held her tighter, making short little thrusts in the expanse she permitted inside of herself.

“S-Sinuous, I’m… it’s cominNG!'' His words turned into a firm grunt as he shuddered behind her, his loins kicking and pulsing as a great heat coiled in his gut before washed through him and shot out through his shaft into her in pulse after pulse. He felt more of those incredible contractions around him, complimenting his climax. The sensation of her warm, wet, comforting grasp seemed to make his climax work ever harder, every twitch and movement making him throb and pulse again, as if his body was fearful it couldn’t spill every single drop into his partner.

They both remained there, shivering as their climaxes slowly abated. Sinuous looked back at him over her shoulder and he met her eyes as they breathed hard, but soon kissed as they remained joined together.

Sinuous slightly began to weep, as did Spike as the two vented emotions they had denied expressing for so many years. Sinuous spoke first.

“Wow… that felt so good… how about we take this into my bedroom. It will be much easier to snuggle on a bed.” she offered. Spike smiled.

“Just let me go and lead the way.” Sinuous smirked and took a step forward and Spike soon found she was still not letting go of him, although intentionally this time as her movement threw him off balance.

“Oh no you don’t. You’re staying in there.” she said as she playfully stuck out her tongue at him. “I said all night and I meant it!” Spike gave a chuckle and began walking with her as she tugged him along by his shaft.

“Yes Ma'am.” he said as they hobbled into the bedroom to continue the first of many more nights they would share together, laughing with each other on the way.

Author's Note

I'm planning for one last chapter of this pairing. I hope you all enjoy it.
