My Summer Sin Celebration 2022 assignment, as requested by LtMajorDude. Your request was SPARITY! Specifically "Non-Anthro, aged Spike, and a massage is present."

You also added "I'll be honest with you, I'm less interested in the sex part and more in the romance part." And, my brother, did you ever hit the jackpot in this exchange because I've been writing fluffy vanilla romance for ten years.

Hope you (and everyone else) enjoys!
