Heat Week! Bookworm

Thursday, Around Noon

Justin is thrust up against the ropes of the ring, a smile on his face, and sweat dripping down his brow. He uses the elastic material to bounce back towards the stallion at large, readying his counterattack. They both had two knockouts up on one another. The stallion holds up his arms to block the coming assault. Jab to his left side, then his right. The stallion moves his arms to protect his sides. Justin follows through with a right hook to the jaw, then an uppercut. He is moving faster than the earth pony could physically react. The stallion falls on his ass due to the uppercut and he shakes his head, spitting out the mouth piece. The bell rings to signal the end of their match

"Dammit man!" He curses and looks up at the grinning human. "One of these days, I'm gonna knock you on your ass!"

"Maybe one day, Caramel." Justin says as he puts his guard down, taking off his gloves and offering a friendly hand to help the earth stallion up. "Today is not that day."

"That it is not." Caramel mimics his friend while he just smiles at the human and grabs his hand, getting pulled back to his hooves.

"You're improving, which is good." Justin comments as he walks with the stallion to the edge of the ring. "You may just graduate from human punching bag to some real boxing matches. Gotta work on your speed is all."

"Awe, man." Caramel looks at the human with a look before grabbing his towel and drying off some of the sweat. "Don't put yourself down like that. You're tough enough to take a hit from Bulk and keep standing."

"That stallion could hurt me if he really wanted to." Justin chuckles as he takes a swig from his water bottle. "He didn't put a whole lot of power behind his punches." He then lightly punches the stallion on his shoulder. "Gonna hit the showers real quick."

Caramel just nods to the human and he soon disappears to the back of the gym where the restroom and showers are. As Justin is washing off in one of the stalls, he gets to thinking a little bit. During the match, he noticed a certain alicorn wasn't present in the crowd watching. Maybe she was running late. Maybe. He finishes up his short shower and gets himself in some street clothes. He enters the main workout area of the gym and scans the small crowd again.

"Lookin' to unwind with some drinks?" Caramel asks, sliding up next to the human.

"Nah, I think I'm gonna check up on someone." Justin replies, turning his gaze over to the stallion. "Maybe next time, okay?"

"Oh yeah? Is it a certain lavender princess?" Caramel asks with an eyebrow waggle towards the human. "C'mon man, she has the hots for you and it's sort of obvious. Make a move!"

"On a princess? Nononononoooo." Justin reacts defensively. "That's like way outta my league there."

"You won't know if you don't take that chance." Caramel says, he pats the human on the shoulder. "Well, I better let you go get your mare, see ya next time!"

Justin exits the gym with a small feeling that something might be wrong. Twilight usually isn't the one to skip out on today, she seems to enjoy watching him box, or at least train others to do it. If she does, Twilight usually lets him know beforehand. Justin hikes his bag over his shoulder and starts on his way down to the castle. He waves to the friendly ponies that greet him as he briskly walks through the town. He finally comes across the castle after a few good minutes of travel. Justin carries himself up the stairs and silently opens the door. Twilight had said he's always welcome, might as well use that to his advantage.

"Spike?" Justin asked aloud in the foyer. No answer. "Twily?"

Still no answer, from anyone. Justin pushed onward deeper into the castle. He figures he may know where Twilight is hiding. He hears some kind of commotion down one of the halls while he walks in. Turning on his heels down the hall, the noises getting louder. It definitely sounds like Twilight is in full-on panic mode. In the library of all places, classic. A smile spreads across his face as he gets closer to his destination. He reaches the ajar doors of the library and takes a peek inside. In the center of the room is a muttering Twilight with a frazzled mane and books floating around in her magic. She is quickly reading titles before levitating the book away.

Justin opens the door to the library and steps inside. He uses a finger to push a book out of his way as he approaches the alicorn from behind since she hasn't realized he's there yet. The man strides all the way across the library, stepping up behind the mare and clears his throat to try to grab her attention. It doesn't work.

"Twily." Justin calls out, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You okay?"

Twilight shrieks a little, but stops when she sees that it's just the human. "Oh my goodness, Justin! You scared me!"

"Yeah, you seem like you're worried about something." Justin looks her over once, reaching towards her mane to straighten it out some. "What's going on?"

"Oh, nothing, just searching for a book." Twilight tries to nonchalantly reply, letting him touch her mane.

"Must be something if it's got you this worked up." Justin observes. "So, what is it really?"

Twilight gulps as he sees right through her, something he was always good at. "Trixie asked to borrow a book I know I have."

Justin nods a little, now watching the floating books get put into piles. "What book?"

"A book on magic theory, she thinks it will help her perform better tricks at her shows." Twilight sighs and she sits on the nearby couch. "I know I have it! I just got to find it."

"Oh?" Justin raises his brow and slings his bag over his shoulder and to his front, unzipping it to pull out a book. "You mean this book on magic theory that I borrowed last week?"

Twilight stares at the exact book she had spent the last hour or so scouring her library for. "Oh."

"I think it could help Trixie. Talented as she is, it's pleasant to know she wants to improve." Justin smiles as he hands her the book.

"Wait. Why're you here?" Twilight looks up at him as she takes the book from him. "Aren't you supposed to be at the gym?"

"I was." Justin sets his bag on the floor and sits next to the mare. "You weren't there so I wanted to check up on you. Guess it's a good thing I did."

Twilight's eyes widen in shock as she realizes she missed his match. "Oh! I'm so sorry, Justin! I got-"

"Ey, it' alright, Twily." Justin shushes her with a finger to the lips. "I'm just glad you're okay. Now how about we get this mess cleaned up?"

Twilight sits in silence for a moment as the man gets up off the couch. "Justin?"

"Yeah?" He responds, looking to her.

"Do you.." Twilight pauses when she looks up at him, locking eyes with him for the briefest of moments before averting her gaze again. "Do you think you'd ever see yourself with a mare?"

"Hm." Justin scratches his chin as he looks away in thought. "I might if I found the right one. Never really thought about it before."

Twilight nods a little, a bit of flush in her cheeks that he doesn't notice. "Ah, okay... let's get the library cleaned up then."

It takes a few hours for them to actually get the books put away, but they manage it. The workload was split between the two of them. Justin spent most of his time organizing the books into stacks based on how Twilight categorizes her books. Twilight, pleased to know how the human has her categories down pat. Twilight focuses on putting the books away. Though only half of her attention was on the task at hand, she was also stealing glances at the human while they worked. Occasionally watching him collect stacks of books when she thinks he isn't looking. Eventually the last of the books are put away, the both breath a sigh of relief as they look over the organized books.

"So, Twi." Justin calls out. "Anything else bothering you?"

Twilight hums for a moment, then shakes her head some. "No, not really."

"You sure?" Justin gazes over to the alicorn.

"Well... maybe work related stress." Twilight sheepishly answers while rubbing her arm.

"When's the last time you took a damn vacation?" Justin asks, crossing his arms a bit.

"Does it matter? My duties are a little too important to be galivanting off to Celestia knows where just for vacation." Twilight retorts.

"That so?" Justin remarks with a smirk and a cocked brow. "Unless your next words are 'Yes, maybe I should take a vacation,' I'll just interrupt you."

"Justi-" Twilight barely gets to finish his name.

"No."

"But-"

"Non!"

"Don't be-"

"Nyet."

Twilight huffs, unfortunately she also knows how stubborn this man can be. It's clear he's isn't budging either. "Will you-"

"Nein."

Twilight puffs out her cheeks while scrunching up her muzzle at his shit-eating grin of his. "Fine. I'll go on a vacation."

"Good! I knew you'd see re-" Justin gets a finger pressed to his lips to shush him.

"One condition. You come with me." Twilight says somewhat sternly.

Justin just smiles at her from around the finger and nods.

"Good." Twilight smiles at him and removes her finger. "Then we're going to Canterlot."

"Ooh. I'm game, be nice to go there without an event going on." Justin muses as he uncrosses his arms. "Luna would appreciate a visit too.."

As he went on his musing, Twilight stares at him. She could feel something compelling her. Some deep instinct telling her to give in to her desires. Then it happens, she grabs the collar of his shirt and pulls his lips down against hers in a kiss. Justin's eyes are wide as his hands find her shoulders and gently hold on to her. After a full minute, Twilight pulls away from his lips and opens her eyes to see his surprised expression looking down at her. A blush creeps across her face and she looks away.

"I... I'm sorry." Twilight says as she refuses to look at him. "I don't know what came over me."

"Well..." Justin's face softens into a smile while running his hands down her arms and up to her hands. "Guess that cat's out of the bag."

Twilight looks up to his face to see his smile, her fingers letting go of his shirt. "What do you mean?"

"I guess I've been waiting for the right time to follow someone's advice." Justin chuckles a little as his fingers intertwine with hers, holding her knuckles against his palms. "Looks like you beat me to it."

Twilight's blush stays plastered on her face while she stares with wide eyes. He steps just a little closer to her, pressing his nose against hers. She can smell his scent. It's a subtle earthy smell not quite masked by his soap. Twilight is loving it and that feeling comes back. That same thing telling the mare to give in. She finally realizes what's going on.

"Oh shit." Twilight mutters in surprise. "It's happening."

"What?" Justin tilts his head at her. "What's happening?"

Twilight looks almost ashamed to tell him, but feels it's better to let him know. "My heat is starting soon."

"Well then, a good time for a vacation then." Justin grins at her. "We can make some arrangements, and when you're ready, we can deal with your heat before it gets out of hand."

Twilight returns his smile with a small one of her own, glad he's okay with it. "I'll get a letter to Celestia. I'm sure she wouldn't mind having us."

Sunday, Late Evening

Justin closes the front door to his home and locks it with a golden key. He hoists his packed bags over his shoulder, double checks his pockets, and drops the key into one of them. The human has everything he feels he needs for the coming vacation with Twilight; changes of clothing, a hefty bag of bits, a pocket guide to Canterlot for some reason, and a few choice picks from his record collection. By all means that makes sense to him, Justin is ready for travel. He smiles to himself and heads for the front gate to his yard.

"Hey, Big Guy!" Rainbow's voice fills his ears as she lands next to his fence while he comes out. "Going somewhere?"

"Hey there, Superstar." Justin smiles as he greets the athlete before him. "Yeah, convinced Twilight to take a vacation for once, so she's dragging me all the way to Canterlot for the week."

"You n' Twi in Canterlot, eh?" Rainbow chuckles a little as she nudges him. "Sounds more like a mushy romantic getaway if you ask me."

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't" Justin smirks at her. "Sounds like a certain pegasus is jealous."

"ME? Jealous?" Rainbow stutters out with a soft pink tinge to her cheeks. "In your dreams, Big Guy!"

"Whatever you say..." Justin pauses for a moment and softly says. "...Dashie."

Rainbow halts in place and glares at him as her cheeks turn crimson. "Hey, fuck you! No pony gets to call me that!"

"Good thing I ain't a pony." Justin snickers at her. "You look adorable when you get all flustered at that name."

Rainbow mumbles something under her breath that he doesn't quite make out before she takes off back into the sky. Justin just waves at her and starts making his way down the street to the castle. In less time that it takes for him to say 'Zap Apple Supreme' he finds himself on the doorstep of Twilight's castle. A slow breath fills his lungs and lets it out at the same speed. He raises a fist and gives the front doors a few good knocks then wait. Soon one of the doors swing open to reveal a familiar purple and green reptile, his head to Justin's abdomen, wearing a Power Ponies shirt and some shorts.

"Hey, hey! If it ain't my number one favorite dragon in all of Equestria!" Justin greets the familar dragon, holding his hand out in a ball.

Spike just smiles and gives the human a fist bump that he's requesting. "Long time, no see pal. Lemme guess, here to see Twilight?"

"You know it." Justin smiles at the dragon. "How've you been anyway? I don't get to see you often."

"Oh, you know." Spike steps aside to let the man in and shrugs. "Going here and there. Hanging out with the guys."

"Sounds like you keep busy enough." Justin lightly punches the dragon's shoulder. "Still hanging out with Mac n' Caramel, right?"

"Yeah, didn't know you talk to Caramel. Does he box with you?" Spike asks with some genuine curiosity.

Justin nods some and smirks. "Yup, and boy he doesn't shut his trap about your 'Guy's Night.' Well, that is until he gets my glove across his jaw."

Spike let's out a chuckle while he watches the human box a foe that isn't there. "If you're looking for Twilight, she's in her room."

"Doing what?" Justin stops his antics and raises his brow at the dragon.

"Packing. What else?"

It doesn't take long for the human to find the Princess' chambers. Seeing that her door is open, he approaches and knocks on the frame. He hears her voice, sounding like she's in the bathroom inviting her into the room. So he does, taking a cautious step in and looking around the room. In the corner where one of her study chairs lie, an end table has a small stack of books lying upon it. He walks over with mild curiosity as he gazes over the pile and picks up the top book. Reading it's title, Pegasi Mating Rituals, he smirks a little.

"Oh, I see you've found my research." Twilight comes in from the bathroom, looking at him.

"Oh yeah?" Justin turns to look at her and raises the book he picked up. "Does your 'research' include knowing how pegasi mate?"

Twilight quickly grows flustered as she realizes what she left out. "It-it could be important."

Justin gives her a small smile. "I could see how two mates would exchange important gifts to one another. Or how they may give one another their primaries as a sign of trust and acceptance."

"Y-you know?" Twilights eyes grow wide as her wings ruffle.

"Mhm. Got my own copy at home." Justin replies with a smile, setting the book back down. "Got curious."

"Well... that's good. I suppose." Twilight says as she looks towards her bed where her case is. "Ready for a week to Canterlot?"

"Oh yeah, got money, clothes, some records." Justin lists off. "I assume you got us schedule planned out?"

Twilight giggles as she gets closer to him. "Nope."

Justin raises a brow. "Who are you and what have you done with my Twilight Sparkle?"

"I just figured we could... I don't know... wing it?" Twilight says in a tone he wasn't quite used to. Resting her hand against his chest. "Let you take the reigns."

"Twilight, I was wondering if-Oh." Starlight stops herself as she enters the room and sees the scene before her. "Am I interrupting something? If I am, I'll just go..."

Twilight doesn't say anything and just levitates her bag to her hand. Then she charges up her horn to teleport both her and Justin out of the room. Leaving Starlight in silence and a now empty room devoid of her mentor. She just turns on her hooves, walking right out, down the hall towards the kitchen without another word. Wanting to leave the awkwardness of what she just witnessed.

Celestia stands at the door of the castle, tapping her hoof out of impatience. She glances to the clock in the main hall, it's almost dinner. A part of her hopes they didn't take the train, but a part of also wanted them to be safe. Just then, the familiar popping sound of a teleport spell goes off outside. Celestia puts on her best smile and opens the door to greet the couple.

"Twilight! It's so good to see you!" Celestia greets with a rather chipper tone.

"It's always good to see you too, Princess Celestia." Twilight replies with a bow. "It's an honor for you to have us."

"It's no problem at all, my dear." Celestia then shifts her gaze to the human next to the mare. "Justin, always a pleasure to see you back here."

"Always good to be back, Tia." Justin says ad he bows his head, Twilight glances at him.

Celestia giggles at the the look the lavender alicorn is giving the human and gestures them inside. "Please, do come in and I'll show you both to your room. I took the liberty of getting Justin's old room ready for the both of you."

Justin couldn't help but smile at this as he takes Twilight's hand in his own. They both follow the Sun Princess throughout the castle's halls. They all get small bows from the castle staff and salutes from the guards. Justin smirks a little knowing that this is all a show Tia puts on for her more important guests. Celestia leads them up one of the towers, giving the couple a warm smile and uses her magic to open the door.

"One tower room with a view, as our friend here adores." Celestia announces. "And a small selection of tomes from my personal collection for the princess."

Twilight steps into the quaint chambers with a bit of sparkles in her eyes, her hand leaving his. "This is where you stayed?"

"Yeah." Justin smiles at the room and looks at Celestia. "Doesn't look like you changed it much. Did you, Tia?"

"Well, I do like to be prepared for when you want to stay." Celestia chimes.

Twilight continues to look around the room, noticing the same bookcase and two chairs that usually occupy his living room in the same manner. Guess this is where the setup comes from. A king bed sits up against the wall with two bedside tables on either side, a door to the bathroom not too far away, a full mirror on the opposite wall, and double glass doors to a balcony. The air has his scent to it and Twilight finds herself lost in it yet again.

"Thanks again, Tia." Justin whispers to the princess.

"It's fine. I've also taken the liberty of soundproofing the room." Celestia whispers back to him.

Justin just chuckles, thinking she's joking, and gives her a hug, despite her being a head taller than him. "We'll go ahead and make ourselves at home. I'll be sure to holler if we need anything."

"You two will be joining my sister and I for dinner, yes?" Celestia calls out.

Twilight stops and looks at her old mentor like she's been caught in some headlights. Thankfully Justin swoops in.

"We wouldn't miss it for the world." He says with a smile.

Celestia smiles back and leaves the two in the room, closing the door as she leaves. Justin continues over to the dresser and sets his bags down while Twilight continues to walk around the room at all his mementos he left behind. The human gives her the occasional glance to see what she's looking as he unpacks his things. First is his records that he sets on the top of the dresser, then neatly folds his clothes again and places them in some of the drawers. He leaves the rest for Twilight to use.

Twilight finds herself staring at an old record player. Justin sees this and walks over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder, pulling her out of her daze. "You doing okay?"

"Oh. Yeah." Twilight answers as she turns to face the human. "Just amazed at all the things you left here."

Justin nods a little. "Just in case I suppose. Get you things put away, we do got a dinner to make an appearance for."

Twilight gives him a small smile and nods to him. It doesn't take the princess long to unpack and the two on their way. Justin an Twilight walk side-by-side down the tower stairs, soon traveling through empty halls. The alicorn stays close to her human companion, almost hanging off his arm. The human doesn't seem to mind, more of just happy to be with the mare on her vacation.

Soon the couple enter the rather spacious dining hall where Celestia is already seated at one end. Next to her is her sister, Luna, whom of which smiles wide as she sees the human enter. Justin gives the night princess a warm wave as he walks over with Twilight. Both taking their seats across from the sisters. Their gracious hosts giving each guest a warm smile. The castle kitchen staff come forward from a nearby door, most of them unicorns carrying multiple dishes and setting them down on the table. In a practiced motion, they all lift the lids to the platters to reveal steamed vegetables, salads, slices of fruit, some pies, a cake, and to the human's surprise, some meat for him.

"Wow..." Justin says as he looks over the spread, his eyes falling to the protein closest to him. "... is that-?"

"Meat? Of course, we figured that much like griffons and from you stories, humans could be omnivores." Luna happily chimes in.

"No need to make me feel special." Justin chuckles as he helps himself to some of the veggies. "I'm just me."

"Precisely why it is our duty to make sure that our guests are taken care of." Celestia responds to him, being not-so-sneaky about sliding a slice of cake on her plate.

Justin could only nod as he agrees with the sentiment. He looks over to Twilight to see what she's getting and sneakily steals a small carrot off her plate. The lavender mare huffing at him once she's realized what happened and the rest of dinner goes on in merriment. All four of them happily chatting away and catching up, sharing high spirits, good company, and excellent food. Going on until most of the platters have little in the way of scraps. Feeling their fullest, they all bid their goodnights to one another, going their separate ways until tomorrow.

Twilight finds herself in the bathroom of the guest tower, wearing a simple t-shirt as pajamas. Staring at her own reflection while it stares back at her. She takes in a slow breath, then lets it out just as fast. Tomorrow, her estrus begins, and it's only going to get worse until he beds her. She's ecstatic about him wanting to help, but she would like to take it slow. At least hold off until she feels ready for him. With a huff, she opens the door, shuts off the lights and walks towards the bed. Justin is already fast asleep on the right side, facing in. Twilight smiles, watching how peaceful his sleeping form looks.

She finally climbs in on the opposite side, crawling under the covers to face him. Silently scooting herself closer until her body meets his. Twilight watches his face while letting her hands softly travel across his chest and abs. Admiring the time he sunk into himself to reach his built physique. His muscles are firm underneath his soft skin. It doesn't take long for her to press her cheek against his chest, listening in to the steady beat of his heart. Subconsciously rubbing her cheek against him as she slowly falls asleep against him, unaware of what she's actually doing.

Monday, Morning

His eyes blink open to the sound of quiet cursing and muttering. In the morning light he scans the room to find Twilight standing in front of the mirror in some dress slacks and a bra. Her wings are flared out with her horn lit up. Judging by some of the spots of magic appearing on her wings, she's trying to preen. She's getting a little frustrated at the attempt. Justin yawns a little while he stretches and sits up, looking her way when he's done.

"Good morning, Equestria." He muses as he gets out of bed.

"Oh blast it!" Twilight jumps as her concentration is broken, looking at him through the mirror. "Did I wake you?"

"No. No." Justin tells her with a reassuring smile as he walks up behind her. "But it does look like you may need some help."

Twilight looks at him for the moment. "If you don't mind."

Justin smiles at her and nods as he comes up to her back. He notices a pleasant scent of lavender and vanilla. A pair of hands reach out, starting to sift through the feathers on her left wing. Putting loose feathers back in place with caring dexterity and precision. Twilight's cheeks turn pink, looking down as she starts to mess with her fingers. She has never let anypony else touch her wings before, but the feeling to her is pleasing. She's loving the way he's paying attention to her wing, even as he switches to her right wing and begins.

"So... how did you learn to preen so well?" Twilight asks, finally looking at him.

Justin glances towards the reflection while he works, taking a peek into her eyes with a smile. "Shy n' Dash would sometimes ask me to preen their wings for them. Usually when they were too exhausted or lazy to do it themselves."

"Oh." Twilight seems to only find that word to say.

"Although, don't tell Shy this, but I think she enjoys having someone else preen her." Justin muses as he continues to show the careful attention to her wings.

"You think so?" Twilight looks at him rather curiously now.

Justin nods as he finishes his preening of the mare. "I've noticed she'll go all day without a good preen, only to ask me to do it after helping."

Twilight nods a little, trying to understand his words. Before she ask him further, he's disappeared into the bathroom. She can hear the shower start running through the cracked door. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, heading over to the dresser where their clothes his stored. Opening one of the drawers and pulling out one of her shirts, slipping it over her body with ease. A few minutes later, the water stops and Justin comes out with a towel wrapped around his waist to cover himself.

"Any plans on the docket today?" He asks, walking up next to her.

"Not really, maybe do some more catching up with Princess Celestia." Twilight responds, turning away so the human can get dressed in peace. "Why?"

"Oh, no reason really." Justin responds as he pulls out a change of clothing. "May have asked you to come with me to stake out a couple of good places to go to, maybe have some lunch somewhere, walk around Canterlot. Y'know, friendship stuff."

Twilight could tell that he meant something else just by the way he said 'friendship stuff,' almost like he doesn't want to say it yet. "That... sounds nice actually. I'll go with you."

Justin smiles at her answer and walks over to the desk. He opens the drawer to pull out a note pad and pencil, stuffing both items in the back pocket of his jeans. Twilight watches him with mild interest, she blushes a little harder than earlier when he takes her hand into his. Leading her out of their room and down the tower once again and out onto the streets of Canterlot they go.

Though it's still morning, there are quite a bit of the Canterlot populace out and about right now. A few heads turn towards the two with some surprised expressions of the presence of a princess. The very princess in question caring more about the hand that has her own in it rather the looks. She' focused on making sure her heart doesn't almost stop from the constant touch. The human she's crushing on doesn't seem to notice the looks the mare is getting as he just scopes out potential spots to take her.

The two take in the morning smells of coffee and breakfast foods from the cafes they pass. At times, his hand would leave hers for a few moments to write something down. These brief moments of absent hand-holding slightly disappoints Twilight, making her shoulder press against his. The man puts his pad away after writing a few things down and looks to the Princess of Friendship with a smile. His stomach gives away a slight growl to signal his hunger. Twilight giggles a little at him and pounces on the opportunity to intertwine with is fingers once again.

"I guess breakfast is on the schedule, wouldn't you say?" Justin asks with a knowing grin.

"I'd say your stomach has spoken for the two of us." Twilight teases, earning that chuckle she has grown to adore from him.

"Then it's settled." Justin declares.

He leads them to one of the small cafes currently open, taking up one of the outside patio tables. Twilight sits to his right, trying to decide what she would like. Her ears swivel some as they pick up the small hums of the human while he decides. Both of them are still getting looks of passing ponies, some even trying to be sneaky about getting a picture without Twilight knowing. Something instinctual is nagging at the alicorn, telling her to be as close to the human as possible. She's holding herself back since they're out in public and she's not wanting to cause a scene.

"...and for you, Princess?" The server pony asks.

Twilight shakes her head a bit to refocus on the world around her. "I'll have the same thing." She blurts out without much thought, slapping the menu against the table's surface.

"Alright, so that's two cinnamon buns with chocolate milk." The rather cheerful mare writes down, giving her best customer grin at the two while she takes their menus. "We shall have that out for you both in a few minutes!" With that, she was off back inside the building.

Justin looks towards the mare next to him and lays his hand out in her line of sight. "Lost focus there, Twi?"

"A-a little, yeah." Twilight admits with a small pink tint on her cheeks. She snakes her hand under his. "I didn't realize she was there."

"I could tell." Justin replies as he uses his thumb to rub her hand. "You look like you spaced out just by staring at the menu."

Twilight's blush got a deeper shade of pink at his words. "It's... nothing. I'll be fine."

Justin coughs into his other hand, saying "Bullshit" just quick for only the lavender mare to catch. "No worries, I'll get it out of ya once we're back at the castle."

"Thanks..." Twilight meekly mutters to him, knowing he will and she's just going to let him.

The two sit in a comforting silence while they wait. Listening to the noises of a Canterlot late morning now. Chattering of passing ponies, the birds and small critters scuttering about, even the clink of dishes at the café. Justin looks over to Twilight, who looks at him quick before going back to staring at her lap. Must be something really interesting if she's more focused on that than him. He understands what she might be feeling right now, thanks to a bit of his own research before the trip. It's different, he's used to Twilight being confident and talking his ear off about her latest read of find. Now, she's about as timid and quiet as Fluttershy around him. He figures that maybe her heat is just starting out like this. So he gives her hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Here you both are! Hope it'll be to your liking!" The mare is back, setting both their orders in front of them.

Justin smiles at the mare. "Thank you, smells wonderful." He looks over at Twilight, still staring at her lap. "Hey, Twi, food's here. Time to eat, girl."

Twilight looks over at him then at the small plate with a single iced bun on it. "Sorry... lost in thought."

"Something good I hope." Justin comments as his hand soon leaves hers, glancing back to his food.

"You could say that." Twilight levitates the bun up to her mouth and takes a bite, savoring the flavor.

It's a good call, the breakfast they had was delicious. Justin paid the bill and they both left after that. There is a surprise in it for Twilight when the human pulls her against his side by wrapping his arm around her waist. Not that she's complaining, it's more of an excuse for her to take in more of his scent. Secretly, hers was still on him in the faintest of traces. His is still overpowering to her, which begs the question on if he knows this or not.

Justin just smiles as he keeps his arm slung around the princess. Enjoying the feeling of her pressed against his side while they walk the streets. He multi-tasks some, making mental notes of potential date spots while making sure Twilight is happy. He takes her to go shopping for little things, even a book or two just because for her, some more records for himself. Then window shopping just to waste time until lunch. When the time comes, the couple make a stop at a local hay burger where a certain lavender mare indulges herself a bit much. Justin just lets her as he finds her demeanor downright adorable when she's truly enjoying herself.

They eventually find themselves in the entertainment district of Canterlot. The pair take some looks at some clubs and theaters, but most of their attention is on each other now. The human can't really explain how or what he's feeling and can only imagine if she's feeling the same way. Twilight makes her own note about a certain club they had passed on their way back to the castle.

Once back at the castle while the sun is setting, they have dinner with Celestia again. Luna doesn't join them this time, something about getting a head start on her duties tonight. Twilight is practically gushing about the details of their day to her. The once mentor simply smiling and nodding at the mare's excitement in her own words. Celestia looks over at Justin for a moment, seeing his eyes fixed on Twilight. Then he meets her gaze where she gives him an approving nod. The human just smiles back and nods in return.

After about an hour, the two are getting ready to leave when Celestia lays a hand on the human's shoulder. "Justin, a moment if you please."

Justin looks up at her and nods a little. "Oh, yeah. Sure." His gaze then returns to Twilight. "Twi, I'll meet you back in the room, kay?"

Twilight looks between the two of them and nods a little, leaving them alone.

"I'm not in trouble, am I?" Justin asks as he turns to one of his oldest friends.

"No, of course not." Celestia giggles at the question. "Just figured you could use a bit of a warning. What do you know about mares when they go into heat?"

"From what I could read, they can get a bit clingy, more forward, sometimes a tad aggressive." Justin lists off, stopping when Celestia raises her hand at him.

"And what do you know about alicorns in heat?" She asks.

Justin stares at her and shrugs. "I just figured it was like any other."

"You would be wrong, my friend." Celestia tells him with a smile. "Whatever Twilight is feeling now and what you have read will be tenfold at its peak."

"Oh." Justin says with a look of concern.

"Worse if she isn't bedded soon."

"Oh.." He now looks surprised. "Maybe I should get my ass going then... was planning to take it a little slow with her."

"Go, be with her." Celestia tells him and he nods.

Justin leaves the hall, heading though the castle corridors at a brisk pace. He nearly cuts his usual travel time in half to the tower stairs. The human all but charges up the stairs like he's training to run a marathon. He reaches the door in record time, not that anyone was timing him. He slowly opens the door to peer inside and catches Twilight over by the bookshelf, occupying one of the two cozy chairs while reading one of her new books. The room is silent for the most part as he steps inside, closing the door behind him.

The sound of the latching door pulls Twilight from her reading and she looks to him, a smile appearing on her face. "How was your little chat with the princess?"

"It was pleasant, as always with Tia." Justin responds, smiling back at the mare as he walks over to the dresser.

"What'd she wanted to talk about with you?" Twilight asks as she watches him pick up one of the records and approach.

"Oh, nothing much really." Justin seemingly shrugs as he sets up the player in the room, slipping the record out of the sleeve and placing it on the track. "Just some pancake recipes, y'know how she is."

She watches him set the needle and start the player. The song that plays is slow, almost peaceful. Alas it's only white noise to her while her eyes seemed fixed on the human. Watching his every move from the player to the bookshelf to sitting across from her and cracking it open. Her mind starts to wander in thought. Thinking back to all the time they spent together, they mean as much to her as the moments with her closest friends. Then that urge comes back, that small instinct telling her to be against him. She bites her bottom lip, using the book to shield her expression.

"So, Twilight. About earlier." Justin's voice calls her back to focus, but he isn't looking at her yet. "What happened?"

"Oh.. that." Twilight shudders a little, slowly closing the book. "I.. uh.. got lost trying to.."

"Suppress your heat?" Justin finishes with the question, now looking her way.

Twilight sheepishly nods as her answer.

"What was it telling you to do?" Justin asks, turning his attention back to the book in hand.

There's a few minutes of silence. Justin looks up from his book to see Twilight standing over him. He just closes the book and tosses to the desk behind him for later. It seems someone else is going to need his attention. He reaches both hands to hers, taking them, and gently pulling her down against his lap. Twilight doesn't protest what he's doing and let's herself get pulled against his body. She presses her hands against his chest while she straddles his lap a little too eagerly than even she anticipated. It isn't long and she has her cheek against his neck while the rest of her body is pressed upon his.

"I see." Justin quietly mumbles and turns his head a little and plants a kiss on her forehead at the base of her horn.

The mare quivers from the small show of affection and sits up on his lap. They both stare into each of the other's eyes. He notices a certain sparkle in her eyes, maybe the faintest trace of hearts? Equestria is weird, but that doesn't matter when her hands find his cheeks. She holds on to his face, her thumbs rubbing against his skin. Her fur is soft against his cheek and all he can do is smile at her. Then he takes the initiative by leaning forward and kissing her. It's a deep and passionate kiss, one where the fire is started in both of their hearts. Twilight gladly returns the lip locking with just as much vigor.

"Ahem." A female voice interrupts their impromptu make-out session, both looking over to see Luna. "Am I interrupting something?"

"A little bit, yeah." Justin answers as Twilight scrambles off his lap in embarrassment. "What can we do ya for?"

"Just wanted to check in with you two since I missed dinner." Luna replies with a small smirk. "I can see you two are getting along just fine."

"We are. Justin calmly says as he gets up and walks towards the player, switching sides to let the other side play. "Maybe a good breakfast may be in order."

"Maybe." Luna says, watching the human. "I shall let you two get back to it then."

With that, Luna teleports out of the room and the human lets loose a sigh. He loves Luna, but damn does she have horrible timing. His gaze washes over to the bed where Twilight has hidden herself under the covers, lucky for him she hasn't died from her own embarrassment of being caught like that. Justin simply walks over to the lump of covers and lightly prods it once with a finger.

"You okay, Twi?" He asks.

"No!" Twilight yells as her head pops out of the covers. "Princess Luna just waltzed in on us making out! How do you explain that?!"

"Uh.. you don't. That's exactly what was going on." Justin states matter-of-factly. "C'mon. I think we can salvage this."

Twilight gives him a slight glare at his answer, but does crawl out for him. He grins at her and offers his arm for her to take. Reluctant as she is, she complies and loops her arm through his. Instead of taking her out of the room, he simply leads her out to the balcony. At this point the sun has long sunk below the horizon and lights from the windows speckled the streets of Canterlot. Justin leans forward against the railing, now putting his arm around Twilight's waist. Twilight on the other hand was taken in by the view. Despite living most of her life here, Canterlot still surprises in some form or another. In this case it comes in the form of this ma and his favorite room at the castle. She starts to lean into his side while soaking in the view.

"Best view in all of Canterlot. Change my mind." Justin comments with a smile. "I used to come out here during the sunrise and sunset just clear my head sometimes."

"I can see why. It's beautiful out here." Twilight responds, snuggling closer to him.

They continue to admire the nighttime scene before them. Stars that are precisely planned out in their placement is complimented by the glow of the moon. Canterlot nightlife dots the streets unknowing of their role in the scene laid out before the two. They don't keep track of how much time has passed, but it's long enough for Twilight to shiver a little following a yawn. Justin's hand rubs her side as he looks to her.

"Alright, let's get you back inside." He says to her.

Twilight just nods, looking a little on the tired side now. "Sounds good..."

Justin laughs a little to himself, enjoying the sleepy Twilight as he leads her back inside. He closes the balcony door and draws the curtains. She goes to the bathroom to undress. It only takes her a few minutes to get down to nothing but her bra and panties. The human is over by the player, slipping the record back into the sleeve. When she exits, he's over by the dresser placing his record back on the stack. Twilight struts her up behind him and hugs the human from behind, pressing herself against his back.

"Ho ho... we cuddly." Justin smiles and rests his hands on her arms after placing the record back.

"I just... wanted to thank you for today." Twilight says as she slowly pulls away from his back.

Justin smiles and turns around to face her. "No need to, we still go a whole week left."

Twilight latches herself back onto him body again without a second thought, rubbing her cheek against his. "True, and I can't wait to see what else you have planned for us."

Justin just smirks a little and scoops her up into his arms in a bridal carry. She lets out a small surprised yelp and quickly wraps her arms around his neck, more surprised at his strength than the motion. He promptly marches his way with her, laying her more on the side he slept on last night than on the other side. Twilight watches him as he takes his shirt off and tosses in one of the chairs, then his jeans with the same result. He then crawls under the covers with her, snaking an arm around her waist and pulling her against him. She doesn't object, not that she wants to. Twilight feels at ease like this, clinging to him as if the world doesn't matter. She knows he would accept her no matter what here, and she's glad. Soon both are falling asleep in the arms of the other, a comfort neither have known for a while.

Tuesday, Before Sunrise

Justin is awake, he doesn't know why he is, but he is. He has managed to sneak out of bed without waking the mare he fell asleep with the night prior. He glances over to the bed where Twilight is still sleeping and smiles to himself. Quietly opening one of the drawers and fishes out the notepad and pencil. As he writes down the places he didn't get to yesterday from memory. Then he writes the title down, chuckling to himself some as he reads it over. 'Places to Take Sparkle-Ass'

A soft knocking on the door catches his attention, then he quickly looks towards the bed. She has only shifted a little underneath the covers, but otherwise hasn't woken up yet. Justin gets up from the desk and walks over to the door. He places his hand on the doorknob and cracks it open enough to stick his head through. On the other side, he's met with with a royal guard of Celestia's command. He stares at the guard for a moment.

"Her Highness, Princess Celestia, would like to see you in the castle's fitness center." The guard says in a low tone, aware of the sleeping pony in the room.

"Uh... okay." Justin looks down at himself, still in just his boxers. "Tell her that I'll be down in a few minutes."

The guard nods and leaves the human be for now. Justin retreats back into the room and quietly closes the door, unaware that someone is now awake, and behind him. As soon as he turns around and sees Twilight standing mere inches from him, he nearly has a heart attack.

"Damn, how are you so quiet?" Justin asks with some annoyance.

"Who was that?" Twilight asks, seeming to be on the offense.

"Just a guard." Justin responds, straightening himself up a bit. "Tia wants to see me, again."

"What about?"

"Dunno. Told them to tell her that I'll be down in a few minutes." Justin shrugs and interrupts Twilight from saying another word with a small peck to her lips. "I'm gonna go shower now that you're up."

Twilight stands there in a stunned state as the human gets some clothes from the dresser. Of course, still being too tired to process anything, just crawls back into the bed. She buries herself underneath the covers with his scent all over it, giving out a happy whinny while she tries to sleep again. Justin emerges from the bathroom in some fresh clothes and smiles at the mare. He walks around the bed to the other side and kisses Twilight on the cheek, making her already present smile bigger.

"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Justin leaves the room and travels through the castle. He looks at some the staff doing their early morning cleaning of the corridors for the day. Some he recognizes, and some recognize him by giving him small bows. He just bows his head in turn and continues on his way to the castle's fitness area. Guards are posted on both sides of the single door. They stand at attention when he approaches and open the door for him.

"She waits for you, sir." One of them state clearly.

The human just nods and walks through the open door only for it to slam close behind him. The first noise to meet his ears is the sound of padded gloves colliding with flesh. Must be guards training or sparring. He rounds the corner and his sorely mistaken when he sees Celestia knocking one of her guards on their ass. She stands over them a little disappointed in her sports top and shorts. Her mane also done up in a ponytail to keep it from being unruly.

"Oh come on!" Celestia looks around the room at the other guards surrounding her. "Can't any of you weak-willed pussies throw a decent punch?!"

Damn.

Then her eyes fall on Justin and her demeanor changes. "Oh! Good morning, Justin. Apologies that you had to see that."

"No. No. I like seeing this side of you." Justin smiles a little. "Competitive Tia is a sight."

"Is it?" Celestia says with a small giggle. "It's hard to have a good spar when your own guards are afraid to hit you with a decent punch. I may be the politic, but one that wants to keep her skills at least somewhat sharp."

"Well, I can see why. You're an alicorn with immeasurable power, anyone would be scared to throw down with you unless they were basically a god." Justin jokes while he helps the downed guard out of the ring.

"That's actually why I wanted to see you." Celestia says with a smirk. "I want you to spar with me."

"Wat." Justin looks at her in disbelief.

"Gear up, human. Show this princess what you're made of." Celestia levitates a pair of boxing gloves to him.

Justin feels like she's mad at him for some reason. They're standing at opposite corners of the ring. He's in some shorts with his pair of gloves. Celestia is eyeing him like a predator ready to go in for the kill, and it's making him nervous. Before they start however, the princess waves him over. Curious, he obliges and walks over to her and a silent discussion starts.

"There's a little bit of a wager that I'd like to propose." Celestia tells him in a hushed manner.

"Yeah?" Justin asks, still looking at her.

"It's about Twilight." She continues, making sure his eye contact doesn't break.

"Go on."

"If I win, you bed her tonight when you both are done with whatever it you have planned this evening." Celestia states in a low tone. "If you win, you may continue down your path with her and take it slow."

"Seems a little early for the whole 'bedding' thing, don't ya think, Tia?" Justin whispers.

"I only want what's best for Twilight." Celestia stands firm.

After a few moments of silence, Justin nods. "Agreed, but we are gonna play by my rules."

Celestia is taken back by the sudden change in demeanor.

"First, No wings and No Magic. Second, you get one knockout, your body hits that floor and you're done. Third..." He pauses and takes out the mouthpiece, throwing it out of the ring.

Celestia follows what he's saying and does the same. "I agree to these terms."

Justin nods and holds out his gloved hand. She looks to it and gives him a firm shake. With that out of the way, he returns to his corner and starts to mentally chant to himself, getting into his zone. Once there, he turns to face his opponent, getting into his stance. The bell rings and both of them start to approach the center of the ring. Neither are willing to throw the first punch yet, just circling around the center. Justin steps closer and she takes the bait. Taking her left hook to his jaw. His head snaps to the side from the force and takes a few steps back. She's got a solid punch.

Celestia smiles a little as the human steps off, but still stands. She knows her height over him is an advantage. She watches him focus in on her again, taking a could of steps toward her. She reacts by throwing another punch his way. He weaves out of the way and hits her in the stomach. Then quickly follows that up with two punches to her jaw. He certainly is full of surprises. He backs off, smart move to not be too greedy. Celestia watches him about as much as he's paying attention to her. She closes the gap between them, going in for a punch to his side once within reach. He blocks her blow but she strikes him across the jaw. There's a grunt of pain but he still stands, atleast for now.

Justin stumbles backwards, she isn't holding back. He looks at her and spits out a bit of red that has formed in his mouth. She has her defense up, waiting for his counterattack. The human starts to get closer and she aims for his face again. He ducks, giving her abdomen a one-two, then an uppercut to her jaw. The room is silently watching, most of the guards just surprised at the spectacle before them. Justin doesn't let up this time, following Celestia as she stumbles back towards the edge. He starts to pummel her face, she attempts to block but he immediately switches and starts an assault on her sides. He pushes her up against the ropes as he continues.

Celestia reels back her arm, thrusting it forward, her fist collides with his jaw. The price she pays is his own smashing against hers at the same time. Both collapse on top of one another, successfully getting their knockouts, but at a draw. Twilight snuck into the room at some point and gasps when she witnesses them both go down. She immediately flies into the ring, picking up the human and dragging him away while the Royal Guards do the same to Celestia. Both are pulled onto separate benches and water poured over their heads.

"GAH, FUCK THAT'S COLD!" Justin yells out as he shoots up, a lavender pushing her hands against his chest.

"Easy there, Big Guy, you're fine." Twilight reassures and he relaxes some.

"Oh... hey, Twi." Justin says with a small smile. "When did you get here?"

"Just now. Saw the end of what I assume Princess Celestia wanted you for." Twilight comments.

Justin chuckles a bit as he rubs the back of his head with a gloved hand. "Yeah, she wanted to spar. Who won?"

"No one, it's a draw." Twilight observes the other side of the room where the guards have finally woken up Celestia.

"Damn." Justin curses, getting up off the bench and taking off the gloves. "Might as well go check up on Tia."

Twilight gives a silent nod and walks around the boxing ring to the diarch.

"Tia, you al-" Justin gets cut off by guards stepping in front of him. "Well, okay then."

"It's fine, you may stand down. He is an ally to the Crown afterall." Celestia orders and the guards give the human way. "Yes, I'm alright, my friend."

"Good, I was afraid I may have seriously hurt ya." Justin smiles while Twilight stands next to him.

"Might be sore for a while, nothing long term." Celestia stands over them now, a smile on her face. "Do we have a winner?"

"It's a draw, you both knocked the other out at the same time." Twilight interjects, while the human points a thumb her way.

"Interesting, very well, you two carry with the rest of your day then."

The couple leave with Justin back in his original clothes, heading back to their room. Twilight, more or less, is right up against the man. It may just be the sweat from his fight, but his smell is definitely more inviting than previously was before. Justin, on the other hand, is feeling a little on the gross side despite not minding the contact. Twilight absently drapes one of her wings over his shoulders in an attempt to get closer.

"Man, I need a fuckin' shower after that workout." Justin mumbles to himself.

"What for?" Twilight seems to murmur.

"Cuz I don't wanna smell like a gym bag, Twi." Justin looks at her, seeing that she's almost lost in her own world.

Twilight doesn't say anything and continues to walk with him. They reach the tower steps, starting their ascent back to the top. The sun still hasn't risen yet, not that Justin cares right now. His only goal is getting back to the room and getting himself cleaned up for the day. Though the inviting smell of lavender and vanilla has returned a lot stronger than yesterday, making him wonder how bad Twilight's heat may get.

When they finally reach the top of the tower, Celestia's sun was finally rising. Justin stops them and takes a moment to observe the surrounding landscape get engulfed in the warm light. A smile cracks across his face as he gets to witness such an everyday occurrence happen from possibly one of his favorite spots in Equestria. Twilight shares in this moment with him, usually never have taken the time to just watch the sunrise outside of the Summer Sun Celebration. She ctahes him mumbling "Good Morning, Equestria." Not really thinking anything of it until now.

The two finally retreat back into the tower's room and Justin goes right to the bathroom to wash up a bit. Twilight goes over to the study chairs, picking her book back up and resuming her place while she waits. He leaves the door wide open while the shower is going, causing her ears to flick a little whiles she tries to focus on her book. What's making it hard is the knowledge that the door is wide open and her mind wonders a bit. He's never truly seen a human naked, him especially since he's been rather protective of his privacy thus far. Maybe a peek wouldn't hurt though. She quietly got up her her seat and did her best to sneak over to the bathroom door. Twilight presses herself up against the wall and leans over just enough to catch the man still in his boxers.

Justin is looks himself over in the mirror, checking the damage done by the sun alicorn. She can see a little more clearly his athletic physique, a bit bulkier in terms of Rainbow Dash or Applejack, but certainly no Big Mac. It's a build meant for his hobby. He nods after assessing the damage to be minor and pushes himself away from the sink. He has his back to her now while he walks to the shower, soon dropping his boxers around his ankles and stepping out of them. She ducks out of sight when he turns to the side, kicking his underwear out of the way, then steps into the warm shower. Twilight feels a little unsated in her attempt to peep on the human and goes right back to her previous seat. Maybe some other time.

The shower soon shuts off and she listens as Justin steps out of the shower. It isn't before long until he's back in sight, fully clothed. He's about to go join her in reading but is stopped by a knock at the door. The knock catches both of their attention, both looking at eachother very quizzically. Twilight's eyes dart to the door for a second and back to him, Justin gives her a shrug and goes over to the door. To his surprise, there's a rather familiar face glaring at him when he opens the door.

"Luna?" Justin asks. "What do we owe the pleasure?"

"You sparred with my sister." Luna stated plainly.

Damn, that was fast. "Uh, yeah?" Justin says in a confused manner. "She did a number on me."

"As you on her." Luna retorts, not really sounding angry but her glare is cold. "You did well, not many get that chance."

"Uh... thanks?" Justin just seems more confused.

"Maybe I could test your skill sometime. Take care, friend" Luna says before descending down the tower.

"That was... odd." Justin mutters after closing the door.

"Luna is always a bit odd, isn't she?" Twilight asks with a small giggle.

"Yeah.. I suppose you're right." Justin relents, walking back over to her. "So, couldn't sleep?"

Twilight nods her head a little, watching him sit across from her in the other chair.

"Heh, maybe I'll leave a shirt of mine behind for you the next time I have to leave ya by ya lonesome." Justin chuckles a bit as he settles in to the chair.

Twilight glances his direction and sees him staring off towards the balcony. She's known him long enough to know that exact look he's got on his face. It's a mix of concern and thoughts, she watches his brow furrow a bit. Softly sighing, she closes her book and sets it down. She can see the gears turning in his head the longer she stares at him.

"Something on your mind?" Twilight asks him, getting his attention back to the present.

"Just wondering what it's like for you right now." Justin replies. "Must be torture."

"A little bit." Twilight nods a little. "To answer what it's like... like this overwhelming need to just be near, on, or... other things... with some pony I want the most."

Justin nods is head a little in understanding. "I see..."

"Do you... can we... I mean if you-" Twilight is getting all flustered as she tries to get her next set of words out.

"Twi." Justin looks over at her. "You don't have to ask... I want it as much as you do."

Twilight just nods and gets up out of her chair. She's over to him in seconds and sit sideways in his lap with her legs hanging over the arm of the chair. He has one of his arms around her back to keep her from falling over and the other on across her thighs. The mare hums out in pleasure at the contact of her human, softly rubbing her cheek into his chest. She stops after a little while, listening to his heartbeat. Justin just smiles at the adorableness of the alicorn now in his lap, rubbing her shoulder with his thumb as he lets her do her thing.

"So is the rubbing thing part of the heat?" Justin asks as he nuzzles is own cheek against the top of her head.

Twilight murmurs some from the affection. "Mhm... it's to mark our partners."

"Mark, eh?" Justin lets out a small chuckle. "Guess I don't got a choice now, do I?"

"Y-you do!" Twilight quietly retorts, almost pushing herself away from him.

"Relax, I'm only teasing." Justin tells her in a soft tone, his volume low. "I couldn't think of anyone else to be happy with."

Twilight happily whinnies as she buries her face back into his chest with a blush across her cheeks. Pressing the palms of her hands against his midsection. Currently enjoying her hands on him, Justin idly rubs both her shoulder and her leg, planting soft kisses her to her head.

"If we need to... we can-"

"No.. no." Twilight cuts him off. "I want it be special... For the both of us."

"In that case..." Justin smiles a little as he grabs her hand. "...got any plans?"

"No?"

"Wanna go have lunch and see a movie?"

The two had a quick breakfast and spent some time walking around the castle. Mostly just to waste time but they did spend a considerable portion of it out in the garden. The two just admired the landscaping for a while, smelling the flowers, and watching some of the local wildlife brave enough to come out while they were there. Lunch time finally rolls around, the couple taking to the streets of Canterlot once more. Both of them decide to go to a quaint little diner they passed by the other day, enjoying a cozy lunch in the warm atmosphere of the restaurant.

With their hunger satisfied and meals paid for, the two started the short trek over to the entertainment district of the city. They both gazed at the theater's "Now Playing" sign to see what was on and when. Interestingly enough, they had a movie based on one of the Daring Do books. This interested Twilight quite a bit while leaving Justin a bit on the fence. It starts in about half an hour, so he relents and they get their tickets, some concessions, and take their seats. They fill the time left with some idle chatting until the lights dim. Twilight reaches over and slips her fingers between his. Justin glances over her direction and flashes her a grin.

It's a little ways into the movie and Justin is starting to feel a sense of deja vu while he's watching a scene unfold before him. Here is Daring, observing a golden idol on a pedestal, weighing a bag of dirt all the while rubbing her chin. The man leans forward a bit, trying to figure out why this seems so familiar. Then she quickly swipes the idol for the bag, turning away with her prize in hand and a victorious smile on her face. Then the resounding noise of a click bounds off the stone walls. Daring turns to watch the pedestal and the bag of dirt disappear into the floor shortly before a giant boulder on tracks comes chasing her out. Something about this entire sequence is definitely familiar to the human now.

It's after the movie and the two are basking in the evening glow of the sun. They're more than willing to take their time in getting back to the castle. The couple are listening to sounds around them while occupying a bench. Twilight is laying her head against the man's shoulder while his hand rubs the side of her waist. As subtlety as she can, the lavender mare is rubbing her legs together, trying not to show her arousal.

Justin then snaps his fingers, surprising the mare as he yells out. "Fuckin' Indy!"

Twilight just looks up at him with some annoyance. "Really?"

Wednesday, Morning

Twilight tosses around a little in a tired commotion. Wiggling around until she has herself pressed up against something very warm. She doesn't open her eyes, instead only emitting a happy whinny, wrapping her arm across the warm object and hiking a leg up against it some. Then something wraps around her and presses against her back, causing her to snuggle into the object. Unable to sleep any longer, Twilight cautiously opens her eyes to look around. The room is lit up in what little of the morning light currently bathing it. She looks up to what she's snuggling against and smiles when she sees that it's her human. He's still sleeping, which gives her a small idea. As quietly and carefully as she can, Twilight climbs on top of him, laying herself against his body while she has her face next to his, watching him sleep.

Twilight makes a slight adjustment to her position. A soft moan escapes her lips when something hot slides up against her groin. The mare watches with wide eyes and red cheeks to see if she had woken up the man, relief coming over her when he's still sound asleep. Lifting the blanket with her wing and peers underneath the covers to see her hips pressed against his. She can see something pressing up against his boxers as if it was trying to get out. It could be the trick of the light, but it feels bigger than it looks. Twilight slowly lowers the covers, biting her lip some while she tries to not press against him.

A small, silent, pleasured sigh leaves her lips when she eventually gives in and pressing her marehood up against his groin. Panting while she grinds against him, she lets herself go, both cursing and thanking the fact that they still have their underwear on. This is now how she thought her morning would go, but Twilight can't complain much while the heat radiating off his member through his boxers just adds to her own arousal. Her panties practically soaked from her slit at this point, continuing to rub up against his length.

She wanted to stop, she really did, but she just can't help herself right now. The longer she rubs herself against him, the more sloppy and erratic her movements became. Twilight can feel herself about to reach her peak, all she needs is a few more minutes. Then she lets out an unintentional pleased squeal when fingers dig right in to her flanks. Looking down to her surprise that Justin is now awake. He just smirks at her in this early morning light, not letting his mare get up off of him. Instead, he starts to guide her hips, getting her to grind slow and hard against him. Twilight can't contain the drawn out moan of actually feeling his manhood right up against her. He leans his head close to her, peppering her neck with kisses and small bites to stimulate her further.

Then it happens, the flood gates for her open right up and her orgasm hits her hard from the over stimulation he is providing. It starts off as a moan then turns into a scream of pure bliss before she just outright collapses on top of him. Her breathing is heavy, she feels weak, but that doesn't stop her from clinging to the man that just brought her to this state of joy. Twilight starts to reward him with small kisses of her own on his face, causing him to chuckle in just the slightest. He just gives her ass a soft squeeze and starts to return each kiss while she recovers.

The couple just lay there for a little while longer, just in comfortable silence. That gets interrupted by a knock to their door. Twilight only groans in disapproval as her human starts to sit up with her still clinging to his body.

"Come in!" Justin calls to their visitor.

The door opens slightly and a servant mare pokes her head in. Her eyes lock on the two still in bed. "Her majesty, Princess Celestia, would like to ask if you two would like to join her and Princess Luna for breakfast."

Justin looks down to Twilight, who nods and answers for them. "Tell her that we would love to join them."

"Very well. Breakfast will be in an hour." The mare states before getting her head out of the door and closing it.

"Quite the wake up call." Justin comments, throwing the covers off as the strong scent of sex hits him in the face. "We should get ourselves cleaned up.."

"Yes... we should." Twilight says as she just nuzzles against her human's chest. "After some more snuggling."

Justin rolls his eyes a little and smirks, accepting his fate to the mare's demand.

The hissing of the shower head combined with the hot water cascading over them is relaxing for the most part. The human has his back to the mare so she can scrub his back. This is something more of her idea then his, but he can't say that it doesn't feel nice. Twilight isn't slacking off on the task either, she runs a loofa all across his back, making sure to get some soap in the nooks and crannies he couldn't normally reach. The experience is different, but a good kind of different.

The couple enter the dining hall, now clean and in some fresh clothing. In her usual seat at the end of the table is Celestia. On the other end is a ragged looking Luna, whom of which hasn't realized the two are in the room yet. The smell of freshly made pancakes, waffles, and other foods fill the room. Twilight and Justin take in the smell, making their way over to the table. While passing Luna, the human places a hand on her shoulder that gets her tired attention.

"Hey, you okay there?" Justin asks her.

Luna just gives him a tired smile, shifting some in her seat. "Of course, my friend. Just a long night is all."

Justin nods a little as he sits next to Twilight. "Looks like a rough night too."

"It is nothing to worry about, I assure you." Luna tries to lie.

Knowing not to pester her, he turns his attention to Celestia. "How about your night, Tia?"

"It was fine." She chipperly replies, forking a piece of pancakes and lifting them. "How about yours and Twilight's night?"

"It was quiet." Twilight responds as she slides some of the breakfast foods on to her plate.

"Glad to hear." Celestia comments. "I bet you both have some big plans today."

"Hmm... you could say that." Twilight coyly replies to her old mentor, earning a curious glance from the human next to her as he ate.

The breakfast for all four of them went over well. Luna leaves them all a bit early to get some well-earned rest. Then Twilight and just are the only two left in the hall. Both silently finishing their meals before getting up and making their way out. Twilight immediately pressing herself right up against his side. Justin wraps an arm around her out of habit and pin her against him, enjoying the strong smell of lavender and vanilla she gives off.

"So... what is it you have in mind?" Justin finally breaks the silence.

"To make you eat your own words: That's for me to know and you to find out." Twilight tells him with a giggle.

"Aight, fuck me then." Justin says with a chuckle.

The rest of the morning is spent up in their room. Silently reading while snuggling, listening to some records, the two mainly enjoy their company. Up until Twilight leaves the man to his own devices. She didn't tell him what she was off doing, just that he should dress nice tonight. While he waited though, he walks around the castle. At some point Celestia ends up finding him and the two talk for a while about nothing in particular. She would ask him how he was getting along, he would tell her, then ask her the same. It's a simple conversation between old friends outside of their monthly meet n' greet. If Justin didn't know any better, he'd bet some bits on Celestia being excited to see them.

Alas, duty calls the princess back to her work. She gives the human a parting hug before leaving him alone yet again. Justin pulls out his pocket watch to check the time. Shrugging his shoulders some, he starts to make way back to the tower and wait for Twilight to return. He changes the record out on the player for something else and begins to tidy up the room some in an attempt to keep himself busy. Then he hears the pop of a teleport spell go off behind him, looking over his shoulder he spies Twilight. She's looking a little nervous with her hands behind her back, lightly kicking the floor as she avoids looking at him.

"Hey, Twi." Justin greets as he turns to look at her. "Is everything all right?"

Twilight nods her head a little. "E-everything's just fine, Justin."

The human take a couple steps up to her, observing the suddenly timid mare. "You sure, you look like ya seen something."

Twilight nods her head again and brings her hands around to her front and holds them out to him. Unfurling her fingers to reveal a feather, but not just any feather, one of her primaries. Justin is flicking his gaze between the offering and her face. Her eyes now on him as she holds it out to him.

"Is this?"

"Yeah."

"Are you... sure?"

"I couldn't think of anypony else more worth it."

Justin looks at her and gingerly accepts the primary with gentle care. Twilight gets all excited as she sees him take it with a smile. Without another moment to spare, she jumps right on to him and clinging to his body, mashing her lips against his. He readily returns the sudden affection, kissing his mare in return and hugging her tight against him. She beaks the kiss off and stares into his eyes for a moment before looking away with a great blush in her cheeks.

"I apologize if it's so sudden... I didn't know when would be a good time to bring such a thing up." Twilight admits, still clinging to the human.

"It's quite alright, Twi." Justin tells her with a grin. "I kinda expected it, but couldn't be happier you decided to."

Twilight's smile returns to her face. "We should get ready, I have something special planned for tonight."

"Can't wait."

After Twilight let him go, the room became a flurry of action. Both of them taking separate smaller showers. First was Twilight, who occupies the bathroom while she gets herself ready. Usually not the one to dress up as nicely as she is right now, she can make an exception for the human that's currently outside. She gave herself a once-over in the mirror, gazing at the rather fitting purple dress that clings tight to her frame and only hope that he likes it. She does some small touch-ups and with a heavy sigh, leaves the bathroom.

"So... how do I look?" Twilight meekly asks, a far cry from the happy mare she was before.

Justin looks over to her and lets out a long whistle. "Damn, you look stunning, Twi"

"T-thanks" A small blush forms on her cheeks. "Y-your t-turn."

Justin nods and picks up his wear for this evening, stopping by the mare to give her a quick peck on the lips before going into the bathroom and shutting the door. Twilight idly stares at the primary on the nightstand on his side of the bed, listening to running water for the few minutes before it stops. The sound of rustling can be heard then the click of the door as it opens. She looks over to see his wear for tonight; dark slacks and shoes with a white button-up and a matching purple vest over it, he even wen as far as to feather his hair some. He takes a moment to run his hands over the fabric to straighten out some creases and smiles at the alicorn.

"How do I look?" He asks her.

"You look... rather handsome actually." Twilight tells him with a small blush.

Justin grins and walks over to her, planting small kiss on her lips. "But it's missing somethin." He muses. "I know what."

"What?" Twilight asks, watching her human walk around the bed, picking up the feather and tucking it snugly in his front pocket.

Him just accepting the feather was enough to send her heart fluttering, but seeing him have the desire to take it with them is doing wonders. Her eyes practically sparkle as she stares directly at him. He makes sure the feather is snug against his chest, keeping it close to his heart. Once satisfied with its placement, he smiles at Twilight and heads back over to her.

With a smile that just melts her heart, he holds his arm out for her. "Lead the way, Princess."

Twilight stares at him for a few moments, lost in his eyes until she shakes herself free. Without missing a beat, she hooks her arm around her human's and starts to lead them on their way. Through the almost empty halls of the castle and back out onto the cobblestone streets of the city. She expertly weaves the both of them through the crowds of ponies to end up at their destination. It's a somewhat upper-class restaurant with what seems to be very few patrons at the moment.

"Damn." Justin says as he stares at the place. "Didn't think it'd be this special."

Twilight just giggles as her arm tightens around her date's a little. "Special places for that special human in my life."

"Places?"

Before he can question anything, Justin is dragged right into the building by the lavender alicorn. In mere moments, she has him inside and at a table with a menu in front of him. It's revealed that she had managed to squeeze in a reservation here for the two of them. The host more than a little excited to have a princess in their midst. He takes his sweet time looking over the menu, spotting a few of the meat dishes despite his current diet habits he's grown quite accustomed to. He looks over the top of his menu to spy a little on his mare across the way.

"So, how'd you manage such a fancy place?" Justin asks, eyeing her face.

"Let's just say I know a pony that knows a pony." Twilight replies without looking away from her menu.

"Rarity." Justin plainly states, watching her brows furrow a bit. "I can probably guess how too."

Twilight finally looks at him, ready to open her mouth when a waiter appears next to their table. "Bonjour, and welcome to ze Jewel of Canterlot. I am Silver Platter and I will be your server for the evening. May I start the couple off with a drink?"

Justin gives the mare a small grin.

"Red Wine please." Twilight answers.

"Very well, will you two need more time to order?" The stallion asks and the two nod.

"So..." Justin starts as the waiter walks off. "...Wine is an interesting choice for you. Never seen ya drink."

"I want our night to be special." Twilight claims, glancing to the man before back to her menu. "Not that you drink either."

"Oh I do, you just never see it." Justin smiles as he looks over the dishes.

"With who?"

"Most of the time it's Jackie after helping her out." Justin sets his menu down. "We'll drink cider on the roof."

Twilight looks almost surprised at him, wanting to say something or chide him in some way. She couldn't find the words. Instead, she just stares at him from across the table. Hoping like Tartarus that he's messing with her, but his eyes portray only the truth. She lets out a sigh and goes back to searching her menu for something. Silver Platter on his way back to the table with a bucket of ice that has a bottle in and two glasses.

"The wine you requested." The stallion says as he sets out the glasses in front of them, then placing the ice bucket in the center. "Have you two decided what you'll have to eat?"

"I'll have the salmon." Justin responds quick as a whip.

Silver Platter quickly jots down the order and turns his attention to the alicorn.

Twilight looks over the menu for a few moments. "I'll try your salad."

The stallion nods once, quickly writing the dish down then stuffing the pad and pencil into a pocket. He takes their menus and leaves their table. Justin turns his gaze over to Twilight, grabbing the bottle of wine out of the bucket, filling their glasses about a quarter of what they can hold. The mare across from him takes her glass and starts to swirl the liquid a bit, staring at it.

"Something on your mind?" Justin asks, reaching a hand across the table.

"A little bit." Twilight replies, glancing up at him then back to her wine.

"Well." Justin takes a sip of his wine. "This night ain't gonna be special if it keeps buggin ya. What's up?"

"It just hit me... if we are... you know." Twilight starts up.

"Dating, yes." Justin interjects.

That got a smile from his mare. "Dating... will it change anything?"

Justin drums his finger a little against the table cloth. "I don't see why it would. We see eachother often enough to mean something, right?"

"Right." Twilight agrees, reaching out and touching his hand.

"Then it changes nothing, just that we are what most would call an 'item' now." He wraps his fingers around hers. "And when things get difficult, this here feather will remind us of the commitment we made."

This made Twilight smile, just hearing him say it was more than enough to drive her. She takes a sip of the wine to help calm her nerves some, compounding with her partner's thumb running over her hand. They both sat in comforting silence, drinking their wine in peace. A few moments pass by and their waiter shows up with their order. The couple release the other's hand to start enjoying their meals. The rest of their time is filled with some idle chatter and some joking. The bottle almost half gone by the time they finish eating.

It isn't long before they are back on the streets of Canterlot. The dinner already paid before leaving and the alicorn leading them to their next destination. At this point, the sun has long set below the horizon, blue skies are replaced with Luna's moon and stars that dot the dark sky above. Neither are in that much of a rush as they both are taking time to look at the stars. Twilight stops them in front of a quint little building made out of brick, looking at her coltfriend with a small grin.

"You're going to love this, I promise."

She drags him inside without much of a fuss, revealing her final surprise for the night. Twilight brought him to a jazz lounge. The soothing tones of brass mixed with piano, drums, and a few guitars fill the inside of the building. The main area is wide open as a dance floor, the space around that is filled with chairs and booths. The smell of smoke and booze occupies the once crisp outside air. Justin's eyes widen a bit, turning his attention to her. She just grins at him and starts to guide him over to a booth where they both sit down.

"Hopefully you aren't planning to do more drinking here." Justin quietly comments.

"No, that wine was enough for me." Twilight slides up against his side. "I just figured we could relax after dinner."

"Fair, fair." He says, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "We could also dance."

"Oh.. no. no." Twilight retorts in a lazy tone. "I don't know how."

"Well... I can teach you some slow dancing." Justin offers.

"Or." Twilight presses her hand against his chest and smiles at him. "We could just sit here and talk a while."

"C'mon Twi." Justin reaches up and grasps the hand on his chest. "You wanna have a good time, right?"

"We can have a good time right here." Twilight retorts.

Justin looks at the mare, then out to the floor where most of the patrons are at the moment. The current energy of the lounge has transformed into swing. He stares for a moment then an idea pops in his head. He gives his mare's hand a light squeeze and moves it to his thigh. With a small smirk, he looks down at Twilight.

"How about something to drink?" Justin asks.

"Didn't we just drink?" Twilight raises a brow at him.

"Yeah, but how about something with a bit of kick?" He just smiles at her. "Like, oh I dunno, had cider?"

Twilight seems to mull the idea over in her head some, then nods. "Okay, but one bottle."

Justin just grins at her, giving her a small kiss on the lips before scooting out of their booth. He makes his way across the establishment, sauntering right up to the bar. Twilight watches him from afar while he gets them each a bottle of cider, then raises her brow as he walks his way over to the band that's now taking five. She watches him chat with them for a little bit, seeing him wave his hands over in the opposite corner. She can't make out what he's saying, but once he's satisfied with the band agreeing, he makes his way back to their booth.

"What all that about?" Twilight asks as a bottle of cider is set in front of her.

"Oh, you'll see." Justin grins at her before taking a sip from his bottle.

Twilight eyes him with some suspicion, but takes a swig of bittersweet beverage. She isn't used to the taste, so it sits funny on her tongue. The two sit there, listening to the talking around them at this point. Some time passes, their bottles nearing empty, Twilight practically hanging off her human now. Then the band starts to take the stage again, getting organized and beginning their next set.

Justin jumps up out of the booth, Twilight sliding down and plopping onto the seat.

"What's going on?" She asks, waking from her slight daydream.

Justin grins and holds out his hand for her to take. "I asked the band to play something slow. I wanna dance and I won't take no for an answer."

Twilight sits up and stares him down with a playful glare on her face. "Fine. I did warn you though." She then takes his hand, being pulled out of the booth.

"Relax, I'll guide you." Justin tells her as he leads them out to the floor.

Once out on the main floor, they are joined by other couples on the night out to town. Justin takes the alicorn's hands, placing them behind his neck. Twilight give him a bit if a smile, still unsure what's going on, but looking around them she can see that most of the other couples have taken up the same positions. She's pulled back to her partner when his hands are placed on her waist. Justin is giving her a reassuring smile as he starts to lead her in a simple slow sway while they turn. Minutes tick by as she stares into his eyes and his back at hers. To him, they seem to sparkle in the light and he's loving looking at it.

As the songs go on, Twilight is pressing her body up against his. Her head is against his chest, listening to the beating of his heart. A soothing sound to say the least. Justin as his cheek against the top of her head, slightly rubbing it against her soft mane. Both of the have their eyes closed as they continue to hold eachother.

"Justin." Twilight calls out in a low volume that only he can hear.

"Yeah?" He answers just as soft.

"I think... I think I'm ready." Twilight says, feeling his cheek leave her. She opens her eyes, turning her head to look up his face.

"Yeah?" He just smiles at her.

"Yeah." She leans up, locking his lips with hers.

The night air seems to be frigid now, the streets mostly empty now as the two are making their way back to the castle. The couple clings close to the other, the human keeping his mare warm with his own body heat. She very much appreciated the closeness he's providing for her, wanting to take in his scent as much as leave her own on him. The walk back is mostly quiet, being greeted by Luna upon reaching the front gates. They say their hellos, have a small chat, and continue on inside. Twilight has them make a beeline for their room.

The door to the moonlit room opens, the couple stepping through while feverishly making out. A magenta aura slams the door shut while they're swapping spit, tying tongues, and vying for dominance as they stumble deeper into the room. The two bump in to one of the chairs in the room. They briefly halt their face sucking for much needed air. Without so much as a warning, Twilight pushes the human down into one of the chairs, eyeing him up like a piece of meat. She slides the straps of her dress from her shoulders, letting it slide off her body and hit the floor. Leaving her in nothing but her panties to cover her, she moves in on his lap, cupping his cheeks and resuming her assault on his mouth.

Justin fights back with as much vigor as she displays, smacking his open palms down against her flank and grabbing her cheeks. This action causes his mare to moan right into the kiss and lose a bit of focus. He takes the opportunity to overtake her tongue, fighting her back into her mouth. Eventually Twilight just lets his tongue explore her mouth, releasing a hum of pleasure as she grips his shoulders. He presses her hips down against his crotch, making her grind on him while they continue to make-out. In a breathless move, they both break off the kiss, staring at each other while they pant, taking in lungs full of precious air. He can swear there are magenta colored hearts in her eyes as they dumbly smile at one another. Twilight levitates the feather in his pocket over to the desk and carefully places it down.

With deftness unlike any other, she quickly unbuttons his vest and shirt before he can register it's happening. She also uses her magic to unbuckle, undo, and unzip his pants before pushing them to his ankles. Justin lifts her up with a chuckle, standing up out of the chair while she lets out an 'eep.' With a couple steps, one being out of his pants, he carries her to the bed and lays her down on it. She watches him with intent while he stands up straight, sliding his shirt and vest off his body and tossing them to the chair behind him.

He has an almost predatory grin on his face as he crawls up on the bed and over his mare. Her eyes stay fixed on him all the way up to her. As soon as his face reaches hers, he locks her lips in a deep but short kiss. He follows it up with a couple kisses to her cheek and down to her jaw, then her neck where he licks, nips, and kisses her. A shiver runs up her spine while he stays there, running her fingers through his hair. Then he starts to move again, trailing pecks and licks down to her shoulder, finally reaching her exposed chest. He plants one more small kiss between her breasts, his effort is rewarded with a small murmur. He locks eyes with her for a moment, giving her a smile that she gladly returns then leaning down and kissing one of her exposed nipples.

A throaty moan leaves Twilight's mouth when his lips wrap around her teat, his teeth teasing her with a gentle bite. Another moan leaves her mouth when he decides to give her a suck. He then lets her free and moves to her other teat, giving it the same treatment, earning him the same noises. He soon leaves her chest be, trailing more of he sweet kisses and licks down to her belly, passing her naval, and reaching her panties. Now with is body off the bed and between her legs, her looks up at her red face, grinning a little as he grabs the hem of her underwear.

"What's behind door number one, I wonder?" Justin comically asks while slowly taking the layer off her.

His nostrils are filled with the smell of her arousal at its peak. The already present tent pitched in his boxers twitches at the sight of her sex. Justin pulls her panties off her and tosses the damp article with his. He licks his lips a little and leans forward, using his tongue to give her folds a taste. The overly sensitive mare squeals out of bliss, closing her legs around his head. Finding himself not able to pry her legs off his head, he does the next best thing and shoves his tongue right into her flower. Savoring her taste all the while he just runs his wet appendage along her inner walls. Twilight's hand find his head again, grabbing handfuls of his hair while she is practically squeaking and moaning from the stimulation down there. He pulls his tongue out, flicking the tip of it against her clit a few times before gently sucking on it.

This finally sends Twilight over the edge.

A pleasured shriek leaves her mouth, her grip tightening around his head as she sprays his face with her juices. Justin, for his part, does his best to lap up her sweet nectar even though much of it now coats his chin and neck. Twilight's grip finally releases as her body convulses while riding out possibly the most intense orgasm she's ever experienced. With a smile, the man wipes off his face.

"Guess we gonna need a breather before we continue." Justin silently comments to noone in particular

Without warning, Twilight's eyes snap open and she teleports behind him.

"What th-" Justin doesn't have time to process what just happened as the mare uses her alicorn strength to push his back on the bed and pin him there.

Looking right into her eyes, he can see the fires of passion and lust present in her. And the hearts in her pupils, Equestria is weird. She mashes her lips against his, tasting her cum on his lips and in his mouth. Twilight is after a different prize though, not as focused on teasing as her human is. Nevertheless, she continues to trail down his body in a similar fashion. Her nostrils flared to take in his scent while she moves, trying to memorize him. Then she reaches what she's really after, his tent on proud display. Twilight wastes no time in just casting a spell on his boxers to teleport them on top of the pile of clothes.

Now free, his member bobs out from its once home it calls his boxers. Twilight stares at, almost studying the foreign object in front of her with a deep hunger in her gaze. He is certainly a far cry from what she knows from stallions, but also kind of expected this from asking about humans a while ago. It throbs when her breath grazes it, the musk a lot stronger then what she's used to. Locking eyes with him, she starts to lean in close to his cock, pressing her tongue against his base and slowly licking up his shaft. A shiver of pleasure works its way up his spine and a loud groan leaves his mouth once she reaches his tip. She smiles at Justin and gives the tip of his dick a small peck. His breathing is a little heavy now, his eyes never leaving hers.

Twilight keeps staring back, like she was trying to win a staring contest while planting kisses down his shaft back to his base. With some care, she then takes one of his balls in her mouth, sucking on it, popping it from her maw, and licking from base to tip once more. While she's doing this, his body shivers and jerks much to her enjoyment. With his tip against her lips, she parts them and takes just that in. She takes enjoyment at the audible groan that comes out of her human. While keeping her vision locked on his face, she starts to descend. Taking his member in her mouth inch by inch and little by little. She sticks her tongue out against the bottom of his length as she continues to swallow. He twitches while watching his member disappear, feeling her tongue lick at his sack once she reaches the bottom.

It isn't long until his mare starts to lift her head until only his tip remains, then takes him back down to the base. Twilight starts to bob her head at a rhythmically slow pace, making each bob long enough for her to savor the taste of her lover. She closes her eyes, starting to pick up her speed after a taste of pre shoots out from his tip. Sliding her hand up from underneath her, she lovingly massages his sack while her horn is lit up to play with her own pussy.

The human has a tight grip on the sheets under his body, clenching his teeth in an attempt to hold out just a little longer from the pleasure. The sensation is rising in his body with every bob of his mare's head on his cock. Pushing higher and higher. Then he sits up with is hands shooting out to grab either side of her head and forcing her to take him all the way to his base. She doesn't fight him, only letting out a happy hum when his balls tighten and shoots the first of many strings of cum into her waiting mouth. He continues to twitch inside of her muzzle for minutes, shooting hefty loads of sperm on her tongue. Years of being pent up finally released into her mouth.

His hands fall from the sides of her head and his falls backward on to the mattress. Twilight giggles as she taps his abs, getting him to look up at her. With a smile, she opens her mouth to let him see how full of his seed it is, then closes it and swallows.

"Fuck... that's hot." Justin murmurs as his head falls back against the sheets, feeling his cock immediately grow hard once again

Twilight just giggles as she climbs up on the bed and over his body so her face is over his. "Don't get too worn out of me, Big Guy. We still have the main event."

Her tone is sultry with the eyes and smile to match. Justin smirks, raising his hands to her cheeks, cupping her face. He leans up, kissing his mare on the lips, tasting where it's been and his own jizz in her mouth. Twilight, on the other hand, uses her magic to rub their sensitive sexes together, using the head of his dick to part her folds slight as she rubs against it. Using careful aim, she aligns him with her entrance and slams her hips down against his, causing her to break the kiss and yelp out in pain.

Justin stares at her, realizing what just happened. "Twi... you okay, love?"

"Yeah, yeah." Twilight strains the words in response, just sitting in his lap. "Just.. have to adjust is all."

"Whenever you're ready." Justin assures her as his hands move down to her flanks, lovingly massaging her cutie marks with care. "No rush."

Twilight simply nods while biting her bottom lip. The flank massaging doing wonders to relax and ease her pain. She wiggles her hips a little and starts to lift, a trail of red coming from her. Her walls try to desperately clench down on the man inside of her in an attempt to keep him there. There's a drawn out moan from the mare as she leaves his tip in, then slamming her hip back down again. She holds herself against him, grinding on him while her walls massage his cock, trying to milk him for all he's worth. The Twilight starts all over, rising, falling, and grinding against her human.

Justin groans out in his own bliss while she just rides him. She is a lot tighter than he had expected, finding himself struggling to just not plaster her insides white. He does enjoy her squeezing his cock. feeling like a gentle vice grip as she glides along his shaft. Then she starts to bounce against him at a bit of a faster speed, leaving the grinding behind in favor of it. The room is soon filled with the sounds of sex; moans, grunts, and the slapping of skin against skin. Gladly giving in to their own lust. Twilight continues to slam her hips down against her lover, pressing her hands against his chest, and leaning down to kiss his lips. He gladly returns the kiss, giving her flanks a good squeeze. Her tongue licks his bottom lip in a silent request to enter. A request he gladly accepts by parting his lips and letting her explore his mouth.

Her tongue may have been more broad and longer, but she was no less dexterous with it. She travels it over his teeth, gliding across his molars, a small shiver when she touches his canines, and over to the other side. She explores every inch of the inside of his mouth with a gleeful hum. Twilight then starts to feel his hands move against her body, moving from her flanks to her back, tightening his arms around her. At first she questions why he was holding her still in quiet contemplation. Her answer soon came in the form of his hips thrusting up into her, his balls slapping against her ass.

Twilight breaks the kiss with a surprised moan, and continuing to do so while he pounds up into her. Her walls clench at the surprise thrusting, a knot starting to tighten in her stomach and leading down to her groin. Like her, the human is starting to feel his own loins tighten as he nears his own orgasm, unaware about hers at the moment, just focusing on her pleasure.

"Twi.." Justin manages through grunts, "... I'm getting... close!"

"Me... me too." Twilight cries out. "In-inside! I want to...to feel it!"

With that, the human happily obliges. He thrust his hips hard against her a few moments, then holds her down against him. Twilight buries her face into his neck to muffle her cry of pleasure. Her walls clamp down around his spasming cock while it shoots load after load of cum into her waiting pussy. Spurts of seed continue to shoot from his tip for several minutes, stopping as the couple start to relax and panting heavily. Justin's arms loosen up from around Twilight's side while she falls off to his side, gently drawing little circles on his chest. The two are smiling at each other, the human keeping his mare close as their breaths brush across the other's cheeks. Twilight leans in and starts to pepper his cheeks and lips with kisses.

"Did you two have fun?" A familiar voice calls out to them.

Twilight's eyes widen as she recognizes the voice belonging to one Princess Luna. "Princess!" Twilight exclaims as she hides herself with the covers.

Justin looks up and waves. "Hey, Lulu. How's it going?" Justin starts to sit up.

Luna just giggles at the sight before her. "Seems I have good timing, my friend. I was stopping by to check on your dreams."

Twilight is looking at him in surprise at his demeanor being this normal at the princess seeing his state. "Justin!" She hisses out to him. "How can you be okay with being nude in front of Luna?"

"What?" He looks down at his state and waves her off. "That. Isn't the first time she's seen me like this."

"What?!"

"Indeed." Luna lets out another giggle. "I walked in on him as he was coming out of a shower by accident once."

Twilight is looking more flabbergasted than embarrassed and is staring at the two now.

Thursday, Morning

The room lay still. There's no movement, nary a sound is present. The sun is slowly creeping up from the horizon, bathing the room in a low light through the open balcony doors. Outside, occupying a small patio table is a mostly naked couple with some warm cups of fresh tea. They watch as the sun rises, raising their cups to it with smiles on their faces.

"Good morning, Equestria." Both Twilight and Justin say in unison, taking their first sips of tea.

"You know... I think the girls migt be interested in a piece of you." Twilight quietly comments, smiling at the human.

"Like.... one of those herd thingies I've heard about?" Justin asks, taking a sip.

Twilight simply nods her head while she drinks.

"If they're interested, sure. I'll try it."

AAAAAAAANNNNND I think that's where I'm gonna end this. This one took me a little while to get out between ideas getting the chopping block, work, model painting, and just not having the energy to write. (Being lazy ish good sometimes.) Yet, here we are, the first story of 2022 from me and its totally shameless!

That's enough out of me, I hope you all enjoy! ~The Tower of 0
