Art has many Angles

„You ... wanted to see me, Princess?“, I asked as I entered her bedroom. Befitting of a mare her status it was huge, probably three times the size of my entire apartment. Decorated in golden, warm colors with curtains, matching the rising sun. It fit her well and I always enjoyed the cozy atmosphere it provided, especially in the evening. It is not the first time I’ve been to her private chambers, but the sight amazed my eye every time. However, the beauty of these four walls paled in comparison to the mare, lying on her bed at the left end of the room.

Celestia lay on her bed sheets. Naked. Not a single piece of cloth obscuring her, not even her crown or her necklace. They were nowhere to be seen. She lifted her head to look at me and upon seeing me, she began to smile and ordered her royal guards to close the doors behind me. At first I wondered if they had seen anything but my thoughts quickly disappeared as Celestia waved me over to her bed.

Everyone else in my shoes might have looked away upon seeing her naked; started blushing, stating that they were sorry a thousand times over. Not me, however. As ridiculous as it may sound I have gotten used to the sight. But at the same time I haven’t. It did feel like a gift every time I got to see her pristine white body. It is truly hard to describe her in words, mostly because of my rather unimpressive vocabulary and my lack of a descriptive prowess. Standing at the side of her bed I began to take in her appearance.

As stated before, she wore nothing. She was entirely in the nude and presented herself to me on her side, facing me. Celestia’s right arm helped to support her head upright, her left arm placed neatly on her side and posterior. Her body was curvy, and she seemed very slim on first glance. However, if you look at her belly you can see that she does enjoy cake a lot. Then you start to see that she does have some extra pounds. If I were to describe her physique in short I'd choose the words: Slightly chubby. However, I wouldn’t find her nearly as pretty if she hadn’t have those.

Her posterior had very feminine touches and I often take that as a reference in describing the core differences of male and female anatomy. Females are slim, elegant and curvy while males are bulky, muscular and sturdy. Going down further you can see that Celestia always takes her bodily hygiene very seriously. Her vagina shaved, nothing more then a pink slit. And by the looks of it her fingers might have slipped prior to my arrival. How very lewd.

I don’t mean to sound like a pervert but one thing I always appreciated about a nude display were the genitals. I usually pay them no big mind but it just feels wrong to exclude them. And even worse, if they just didn’t exist. Just blank space. I always maintained the philosophy that the naked body is a thing of beauty. Something to be admired as a piece of art rather then a sexual stimulus. I could go down that road for longer but that is for another time.

Funny thing is, I once asked her to not shave herself for a couple of weeks. She was not amused by the idea but luckily I was able to convince her otherwise. The impressions I got were definitely worth the wait. She didn’t liked the dirty un-lady-like look it gave her. It’s amazing how something so small can make such a big difference on display.

Going towards her upper body I am greeted by her breasts, another detail that defines her feminine features. And one thing I always found very captivating was the way they appeared. Round and supple. Her nipples were pink and complemented her chest in a very lovely way.

Moving up to Celestias shoulder, again very delicate and tender, I arrive at her head and our eyes meet. She had wonderful, magenta-colored eyes and a very friendly and calm smile. She did not wear any makeup or lipstick. Not that she needed any if I may say so. Her mane extended from her head all the way down her body, a mixture of pink, turquoise and lavender. I don’t mean to sound poetic but she had a fragrance reminiscent of flowers and grass.

From her expression I can tell she watched me as I eyed her from bottom to top. She never interrupted me or obscured anything, not even her most private of parts. Nor did she take any extra effort to reveal anything to me. I knew Celestia trusted me and that is something I value more than my life. I see it as a great honor to be granted such a beautiful sight. You have to understand that our, dare I say relationship, is somewhat of a difficult nature to describe. We are not a couple in a traditional sense, we aren’t dating and we’ve never had any intimacy besides maybe some handjobs. But given that the main focus of our shared hobby involves lots and lots of naked skin in various poses and close proximity, it comes as no surprise that sometimes a certain desire gets overwhelmingly persistent and needs to be taken care of.

„Are you just gonna stand there and watch?“, she asked while turning on her backside.

I merely reply with, „Well, I could to that all day long and never get bored.“, resulting in a chuckle from her. I did put my backpack on the floor and began undressing. I never saw myself as a particularly attractive pony but Celestia never gave me the impression that she judged me for it. When we are naked we are equal, after all. So I knew I could be in the nude around her and have no reason to be embarrassed or hide anything from her. I removed my underpants and gave the Princess time to look me over.

Celestia once told me that she liked my features. Her reasoning for this was that even though my body didn’t look toned or had any well defined muscles she could still see the way male bodies were just entirely different in shape. The focus was put on broad shoulders and small hips compared to a female physique. Just to name one or two.

The solar Princess, done looking me over, gestured me to join her on the bed. I followed her bidding and laid down next to her. I didn’t hesitate and pulled myself towards her, finding a comfortable position. I slid my left arm under the pillow and let the other rest on her belly. I laid my head on her shoulder and moved my legs close to hers. Our coats touched and I began to enjoy the warmth and softness of her coat. I admit, I do enjoy cuddling like this a lot. We spent a few minutes embracing each other before I opened my mouth.

„Why did you ask for me, Princess? Something on your mind?“

„You know my name, Selenthis. Use it.“, came a sharp reply. Celestia hated it when I didn’t call her by her real name. And I didn’t do it on purpose. I just forgot about it, now that we had our privacy. It did feel kind of silly and ridiculous that this is what I had the most difficulty with. Acting stoic, professional and cold when we were around other ponies, yet honestly open and passionate when we’re alone together. Almost makes it sound like I’m her lover, which I’m not. But it still does sound rather poetic.

„I’m sorry, Tia. Your guards woke me up rather early and I am still a bit perplexed why you have called me here on such a short note.“, I reply. It was the truth, mostly.

„Understandable, Selenthis. And I am sorry to have called you here without warning. But I'll promise, I do have a very good reason for it. But before that I’d like to answer your question with another question”

She made a small pause before she spoke up again. “Do you know what day it is today?“

I took a moment to think about that but sadly came up with no coherent answer. A nagging feeling pushed at the back of my mind, like I were supposed to know what she was referring to. I tried to focus and deconstruct it fact by fact. It was what, Saturday? 12th of April. But as much as I brainstormed, it led nowhere. I took a deep breath and told her the truth, utterly defeated.

„I’m afraid I don’t, Tia“

Celestia chuckled as she took my right hand, gently placing it on her left breast. A small shiver ran through me as the act caught me by surprise. This isn’t the first time I had touched her in such an intimate spot but the lack of context to her actions made me a bit uncomfortable. But nevertheless, I responded by gently exploring her chest, moving my fingers along her nipple and finishing with a gentle squeeze. Celestia hummed at the notion. I knew she would do that. She liked being touched.

„It’s been two years since we first met, Selenthis“, she exhaled, followed by a small chuckle.

„Our two year anniversary, if you want to call it that. Time flows by so fast.”, Celestia paused for a few moments before she continued.

“I’m very glad I met you, Selenthis. You’ve opened up an entirely new horizon for me, changed my view on many things and helped me gain confidence. That is quite the achievement you’ve accomplished, you know. And look where we are now. How far we’ve come since then...“

Celestia suddenly turned towards me, embracing me in a tight hug. Her warm, soft body and her scent washed over me as I adjusted my arm underneath her. She laid her head on my chest and sighed happily. I prepared to answer, then it hit me.

Two years!

I needed a moment to fully comprehend that. Has it been that long already?

„Two years...“, I exhaled as I felt slightly shocked. I faced her with a mixture of surprise and relief. Celestia simply looked at me and began to smile before closing her eyes again. She hummed in agreement. I remained silent for a few minutes. It was still a lot to take in. After what felt like an eternity my trance was finally interrupted by movement. Celestia let go of me and laid herself beside me again, facing the ceiling.

„Do you still remember when we first met?“, she asked.

I didn’t even need to start thinking. How could I ever forget such a special day? „Of course, Tia. I remember it like it was yesterday.”, I replied.

Celestia chuckled before she spoke, „It probably does much to help you to remember when you have a physical copy of the actual memory to look at, hmm?“

I looked towards Celestia, seeing her nudge her head in the opposite direction before I followed the princess’ gesture. To our right, on the wall above a small drawer, it hung. I was surprised to see that she had actually put it up on display for everypony to see, but she had certainly took some precautions to make it invisible or something if she wasn’t there. Cleanup maids wouldn’t want to see that, though I wouldn’t blame them if they kept staring. She was truly a marvel to look at.

It was a body shot of Celestia, entirely naked. She stood in front of a bathtub, her body and head turned slightly to the left. Her hands rested on both hips, mane flowing freely alongside her white curves. The room resembled a huge bath and like her bedroom, it was royal, golden and warm. But that was not the focus, not important. It was merely a tool to set a scenario. The true focus was on her. She had an expression that resembled shyness and a lack of confidence. She was embarrassed to stand naked in front of a stranger. A stranger she had met just mere minutes ago. A stranger who fell down on his knees, begging her to do something unimaginable for him. A stranger who dared to ask the Princess, Goddess and Ruler of Equestria:

„May I draw a nude portrait of you, your Highness?“
