Taking the Queen

Chrysalis had woken up early and brushed her mane and tail, as ordered. She was still unable to use her horn, but the bronze mirror she'd been given showed her that it was not the same as she remembered. It was shorter, a bit wider, seemed to be slowly filling in and was bending backward. She was unsure if it was just the colouration of the mirror or her eyes playing tricks on her, but in this lighting, she seemed to be gaining a lighter tone to her carapace.

She turned to the front as she heard Spiceberry and Shining approach. She had once again opted for a short skirt, as she had plans today. Shining made his inspections and opened the door, then left once again.

"One of these days, he'll figure it out," chuckled Spiceberry, setting down the cups he'd brought. "So, I heard what you did yesterday. Taking my advice? Word on my end says it worked out pretty well. How did you feel about it?"

"Well, with all that's going on lately, It's just kind of sex to me. It did have them drooling all over me, though. That part was kind of nice."

"Just sex, huh?"

Chrysalis lowered her head. "Look, I know you want me to try extra hard, but it's kind of swallowing up my life right now. It's not like with you. They don't want me to grow from this, they just want their fix, and I'm supposed to be the selfish one."

"So, do you just want to sit and talk today?" he asked. He looked genuine, as if it was a legitimate offer. "There's nothing wrong with stopping to take a short rest."

"No, I want to keep going," huffed Chrysalis. "I want to be better, but I feel like the only way to do that is if you're behind me every step of the way. If I fall, I want to know that somepony will catch me, and that somepony..."

Spiceberry nodded and took her by the hoof. "As long as I'm still here."

She squeezed his hoof. "Fourteen months?"

"Fourteen months." He suddenly took a step closer and pressed his lips to hers. "And if you're out by then, you can come up and see me. Assuming, of course, that Starlight and Shining Armor have no issues with that. I don't mind."

Chrysalis wrapped her free hoof around his shoulders and pulled him in close. She didn't know why she did it, it just felt right, somehow.

"Well, I..." He cleared his throat. "I guess we should work on undoing this other cable, hm?"

She nodded and pulled away. "My guess is that, since Twilight's gone right now, we have to wait until she returns to convince her to take it off."

"Then let's work on that persuasion," he nodded. He reached into a paper bag he'd brought along with him. From it, he pulled a bottle of lube and a small silver bauble. "Are you sure you want to try anal?"

"What's that thing?"

"If you fail to take me, this is to help you move up more gradually. I went to an adult novelty store to see if they had any advice that I could give you; I did not mention you by name, I just referred to you as "my partner." They told me to have you use these in your off time, and to hide them under clothing if worn outside."

"I don't think wearing them outside is going to be a big problem..."

"No, probably not. They may be a bit uncomfortable to wear while working out, though. Plus, you'd need to take them out before showering, because they may block some of your skin from being able to clean up. Really, it's more of a problem with the bigger ones, because of the flanges, but..."

"So, how does it work?"

"I'll show you before I leave today, and unless Starlight has you take it out, it can stay in until tomorrow. If it's too small, I bought a whole set, and we can walk our way up the sizes until you're ready."

"Let's see if we even need it in the first place," she said, turning around and pressing her chest to the ground. "I want to know for certain if it's my inability to take, or his inability to give that caused the problem. Any other advice you have would be useful."

Spiceberry began lubricating her arsehole with his hoof, gently probing to see how wide he could go without doing any damage. "It's very tight. Relax. Let the muscles loosen around there."

"I'm trying to relax," she grunted, "but you're shoving your hoof up my arse."

"That's going to change now," he said, pulling his hoof away. "Ready?"

"Just slide it right in."

He lined himself up, and pushed in just the head, stopping just past the flare. "I can't fit any more in if you keep squeezing this tight," he grunted, pushing forward. "You have to loosen up. Take a few deep breaths."

As she took a few breaths to relax her mind, hoping that her sphincter would follow suit, he reached around her waist and back between her legs, gently rubbing her pussy as she tried to pull away the tension. He was squeezing his way in, centimetre by centimetre.

"Tell me if it's too much," he grunted. "It's already really tight in here."

"I think you were right about being too big," she huffed. "I don't think I can take any more..."

Spiceberry began to slowly move back and forth. He wasn't even a quarter of the way in, but he knew how far he could go, and between that and the tip, he tried to move slowly and gently, but after a half dozen thrusts, she was letting out grunts of pain, and he needed to pull out.

"I thought, if you were so into the idea, I'd at least make it halfway," he panted.

"You're just too big," was her response.

"You just need some time to become acclimated to it," he smiled. "That's why I bought the box set. You're going to have to work your way up. We'll find one in your size and start working your way up to mine."

Chrysalis picked up the shiny bauble. "How does it work?"

Spiceberry grabbed it by the handle and lubricated it, then gave it back. "The shiny side goes inside your anus. Just a little bit."

She shot him an unsure glance, then reached back and pushed it in. In comparison to his dick, it was small, but she could still feel it moving around back there. It slid in with little effort.

"It fits."

"It is the smallest butt plug they had. I'll let you use that for a little while, and we'll see how it goes."

"Right." She turned back to him and gave his shaft a long drag with her tongue. "In the meantime, let's give you a proper thanking, shall we?"
