Love And Dramas In The Government

Closing the door behind him, Mark grab the side of his sheet tie around his hip as he look at Cadence who was preparing herself and avoiding making eye contact with some heat on her face.

"This is uncomfortable for me too Cadence, it would be better if we talk later" Mark offered yet Cadence shake her head.

"No, no that is ok, this can be brief I just want to apologies"

"...I'm listening" Mark ask intrigued gathering the sheet to cover more of his body until he was wearing it like a cloak to protect his dignity.

"After what I saw, and having...a talk with Aunt Luna" She shivered at the mention of that, which raise an eyebrow from the mayor "Don't ask it a family thing, the point is. I...all of us for that matter are a bit, out of touch when it comes to getting involved in others' life"

"Cadence"

"Now hear me out, this is in part because of our jobs and what we are supposed to do. For Faust's sake Mark, if I don't, I feel like I'm torturing myself because I feel the pain! ACTUAL pain. My title compels me to..." She stops and takes a deep breath "Not that point, or an excuse just a reason. Which I would stop doing now"

"So would this be the end then? No more messing with my life and trying to 'fix' something that I never told you I needed to fix?"

She seems in pain as she struggles with the words "Y-Yes, I would step back"

Mark let go a sigh of relief at that "Thanks Cadence, that is all I ever wanted, now was that so hard?"

"Mark this is hurting me as it is, please don't rub salt in the wound" She begs with a mix of pain and anger

Noticing that he only sigh in pity and small concern, deciding to meet her halfway as she is trying "I suppose I shouldn't push things up, especially since you want to make the effort, which seems to be harder for you for more than one reason"

"Yes, and I swear I would do what I can to stop the...plans I set in motion earlier"

The comment makes Mark growl in anger

"I swear! It would not be Las Pegasus again you have my world! It may be a bit late for some of them but this time I would help you let them down gently"

Mark clench his fist for a moment before relaxing "Well at least you are telling me what is going on this time, so we can try and fix this"

"Thank you...so does that mean you would forgive me?" She asks with excitement

"Oh no, it's way too early for that yet Cadence. You are now in VERY thin ice for trying to recreate Las Pegasus"

She seems to deflate once Mark shakes his head before extending his hand "But...I'm willing to meet you halfway there, I may forgive you down the line, and I would give you another chance, an opportunity for us to start again. AFTER we clean the mess you made" She gets excited once more and was about to shake his hand when Mark pulls it up to point at her

"But you better keep things to yourself Cadence, I mean it, my life... everyone's life for that matter is private and they have the right to live it as they please"

"Can I at least make small suggestions" She pout with a quivered lower lip "Please"

"Cadence, you are pushing it"

"Please at least just that! Just this to alleviate things" She asks in a desperate tone.

Mark rolls his eyes and shakes his head

When did I become this mare dad?

"Fine, you can but only SMALL pieces of advice and just a couple at a time, don't go overwhelm everyone, each time they trip and fall in every stone, and only helps when they grant you permission."

"DEAL!" She nods rapidly and went to hug him "Oh Mark, thank you SO much for this chance, you have no idea how much it broke my heart knowing I may have to burn a chance to make a new friend"

"Your...welcome" Caught on guard he just decided to return the gesture briefly trying not to dirty her clothes "And Cadence this is not that I don't appreciate the gesture but I'm still kind of naked...and sweaty" He remind her

The effect was immediate as Cadence let him go with a blush "R-Right, right that" She pretend to cough and look away "I will leave you to it then"

"Thanks" Nodding Mark smiled and was returning to his room

"Oh, and Mark, if you ever wish to have some advice about herding and relationships or maybe if any of the mares..."

She stops once Mark glares at her "Right neverminded that last part, just know that I would always be there to help"

That makes him pause and think about "You know Cadence, I may take you on that offer, not now of course but I may later"
That seems to cheer her up as she leaves with a skip as Mark chuckle and enters the room again.

"That was very sweet of you to say" Celestia compliment him, leaning on the side of the bed with a head supporting her head as she lays naked on it. "Making peace with my niece and giving her a chance"

"Well, you all ask me to play nice with her and that is what I intend to do" He mentions calmly as he approaches his drawer and takes out a new set of clothes, and sighs when he took a can of tomato juice. "Which has become easier now that she is willing to meet me halfway. We still have a long way but we will get there eventually. Now..." He toss her clothes back "As much as I would love to return to bed, we have our duties Sunshine to attend and I still have questions for you. Like for example who was that Celestia double?"

Smirking Celestia grab her clothes and slowly rise "Her name is Auroras, a kind and diligent changeling who join the royal guard some time ago after requesting and explaining the procedure act as my body double in case the situation requires. A royal secret if you wish, but I trust you can keep it between us, right"

"You have my word, and when the situation requires? You mean like you want to skip a noble party?"

"Among other things, do not worry we can trust her with our little secret, and since this is off the record and out of her job description, Auroras has been kind enough to assist with our little escapes in exchange for some love"

She walks toward him and plants a soft kiss on his lips "We can be a bit more daring if we wish to" She whispers into his ear sending shivers down his spine until he shakes his head.

"Now my turn, what exactly happens in Las Pegasus?"

"A story for another time and her name is Auroras then, remind me to thank her for her help later, and tell me ways to know when she is on duty, we wouldn't want me to accidentally kiss her instead of you right Celly?

"Oh, I don't know. it could be funny" Celestia tease pretending to look at the rooftop

"Honey please don't tease me. I'm serious we are gonna be late for our jobs"

"It comes with the territory dear, you better get used to it" She continues her tease swaying her hips in the direction of the bathroom "Speaking of, do you mind if we share a bath to be more productive"

"Celly I just told you not to tease me, and the idea is to make us less...obvious"

"Oh, I think that boat sailed the moment my niece smell you dear, besides" She lift her tail making him go stiff as she slowly made her way to the bathroom "You can always say no, I'm the one that needs to hide the fact that I have been marked" She ends with a wink as she slowly closes the door.

"In case you change your mind, know that my door is always open" She mentions before closing the door as Mark sweats bullets and swallows hard.

"Damn you Celly! You sexy teasing goddess!" He exclaimed before rushing to the bathroom as the water is heard followed by Celestia giggling in victory.

"But just a quick one, I need to be somewhere else real soon, and no I can´t cancel this one. No for this mare" Mark warns her as he enters the shower with her

Later that morning Luna yawns as she groggily made her way to her room where two soldiers stand to attention and salute the moment they saw her.

"At ease soldiers" Luna comments with a wave of her hand "And have a good day, I would be calling it for now"

"Understood your highness, should we tell the mayor that your meeting would have to wait?" the soldier to the right mentions gaining the princess's attention.

"Meeting?"

"Not too far ago Mayor Mark went telling that he had an urgent matter to discuss with you that needed to talk in private and that he would be waiting inside"

"Irritate a tired-out Alicorn when she only wants to sleep?" The other guard snicker "I warned him that it would be his funeral but he didn't listen. Should we kick him out, your highness?"

"that would not be necessary" Luna replies with neutrality as she marches forward "I would deal with this myself" She replies coldly as she enters and closes the door behind him

"Oh he is gonna die," The guard tells with a sigh

"We don't know that, he may only have an earful or he truly needs to explain something to her," The other tells with concern as they watch the door intently.

From the other side Luna sign and take a deep breath leaning against the door before looking at Mark with a comb and one of her nigh glow sitting on a chair near her bed

"Morning sweetie, how was your night?"

"Uneventful, a bit boring, and kind of weird when Twilight Velvet came to the court suggesting we recreate some of her daughters more daring acts, including fighting a dragon," She tells with a chuckle before calmly walking to a manikin and began to undress placing her armor and tiara on the dummy before stretching her wings and arms and yawn "What about you? I took the liberty of taking some glances last night, you seem to have fun with another mare and my sister"

She jokes with a smirk, looking at him over her shoulder, making him laugh. "Celly already told me about Auroras, Lulu but to humor you. It was very nice. That is part of why I came, to thank you for such a lovely night" He stand up and offer the night glow once Luna was down to her underwear tossing her clothes into a nearby bin.

"Oh, so the mayor of Canterlot wishes to pay his gratitude to the mare of the night by dressing her?" She keeps on teasing as she slowly removes her bra and then leaves it hanging by two of her fingers as she exposes herself to him "Or does he have a more ulterior motive?" Tossing the item in a bin she yawns and sigh "I'm sorry dear but I'm too tired now"

"That is ok, you were right the first time" Mark smiled and recoil the dress a little for more easy access much to her confusion "I know you are exhausted from one long night, so I wanted to give you a special something before you go to bed"

"Huh?" now more than intrigued, Luna extend her arms and bend over so Mark could place the dress on assisting in taking out her wings and tails as she take out her hair, a sigh of relaxation washes over her once she feel the fabric against her fur. "So what is it?"

Rather than answering, Mark stand on his tippy toes and give her a small kiss before hugging her hips "My bedroom prowlers may be on the rough side dear but that doesn't mean I can't be gentle too"

Smiling Luna allows Mark to pick her up bridal style as he goes and lays her gently on her bed "To thank you for this lovely night and honestly because I wish to be an attentive boyfriend, please let me ease some of the tension of the day"

Sitting in the bed Mark picks a bottle of cream that the princess just noticed was on her nightstand and smile nodding once at the idea of a massage.

"Please lay on your back"

Nodding again the princess comply so the mayor can put his legs around her torso and apply some cream on his hands before rubbing them together. Thanks to her wings and the glow having a gap for her wings, the mayor had easy access to her back.

"It would be cold at first but it would feel nice right afterward" He warns her before getting to work, as expected Luna was startled by the sensation yet soon relaxed and let go of a sigh of contentment at the massage Mark was giving her.

"Oh my this feels heavenly, I'm sorry honey but you pick the wrong career, those hands were made to massage"

That earned him a chuckle as he leans forward "And they are all yours my night angel"

Shivering at the compliment and air he bow into her ear Luna could feel all her tensions melting away.

"My our schedules we might not see each other much Luna and that pains me, that is why I want to make sure you remember you will always be on my mind" Been careful not to hit her wings he works tentatively on the base of them mindful of the feathers or not pressing too hard on extremity he didn´t know all too well. Yet Luna didn't seem to mind as she only close her eyes and continue to sigh in contentment.

"And of course spoil you each time I can, this could be our routine before calling the day, what do you say dear?"

"I say that if you can also work on my hoof like you are doing with my back, you are not leaving this room ever" She jokes in complete bliss, as they both share a laugh.

"I would take that as me making a good job for now. Ok I think that is enough I only want to do one last thing to remove all the stress of the day"

"Aww so soon?"

"Don't be greedy Lulu, we can do it again tomorrow"

"Augh! Fine"

"Good girl" He tapped her head before placing both hands on the center of her back "Now this is called the crack, for it I would need you to please relax and breath in slowly, ready?"

Been too tired Luna only nods once and closes her eyes getting ready to sleep "Breath In..." She inhales deeply and slowly

"...Hold it" He starts to add pressure "...and out" Once he commands he adds even more pressure on the back until they hear a series of cracks from her back followed by Luna's low screams of pain turning to relief, her wings extending and going still as a result

"Oh god, I think I went too far! Lulu, are you ok?"

"...I take it back, you are not leaving this bed," She tells with dilated eyes, and a still trembling body. "More"

Remaining quiet Mark look at her in surprise unsure if he did or not a good job "No I think that would be enough for today"

"More!" She repeats looking back at him and slowly charging her horn.

Fearing she might not be thinking clearly, the mayor stood up and headed for the exit. Luna wanted to give chase and even extend her hand at him but she was too relaxed and tired to leave her bed and could only whine like a puppy. "As I say, don't be greedy dear"

He pick up a sheet and toss it at her fearing what may happen if he were to get too close.

In defeat, Luna could only nod and cover herself "Ok later more, and Mark, once I wake up. You are so gonna be inside me" She promises licking her lips and making the mayor smile

"I would take it as a compliment" Mark smiled and nods at the idea before exiting the room, acting as if his foot was damaged and needed to hobble out of there to explain the
crack noise.

The guards smirking as they close the door.

"Told you not to anger her dude" One of them call

"Be happy she let you out, the princess can be grumpy when tired, she could have squeezy your head" they both laugh as the mayor leave, laughing internally in keeping the charade and resume walking normally.

"And so...nobody knows. Oh shit! I forgot to ask her if she also has a double! Damn it! I would have to ask some other time"
