Fonder Words

You trotted down the road, heading for the only place in Ponyville that you liked more than your own bed. As you moved down the road you couldn’t stop yourself from checking how you looked in a window that you passed. From the faint reflection you could see that your mane was still styled the way you liked it, and that it didn’t have anything wrong with it. As you looked at your reflection you noticed that there were some ponies inside the small shop looking back at you, and you smiled at them sheepishly as you turned away from the window, ready to make the last few minutes of your walk.

As you trotted down the road you passed many familiar faces, and a good number of them waved to you. You even saw Storm in an argument with his marefriend, Rainbow Dash. You couldn’t help but chuckle at their antics, considering that everypony in town knew just how serious they could both be when necessary. Still, their argument, this time, was about the quantity of clouds in the sky, and the fact that scattered clouds called for more then three clouds in the sky. As a fellow pegasus you knew what it would take to get more clouds, and so you were inclined to take Rainbow Dash’s approach to it. Three clouds could be considered scattered clouds.

You stopped a few houses away from Berry’s home, suddenly feeling nervous. She’d been dropping some hints on your last date, and she’d nearly come out and said what she’d wanted, but you had pushed her away, not wanting to rush into anything that you didn’t feel comfortable with. She had acquiesced to your wishes, but you could see the disappointment in her eyes when you had told her no. Funny thing was, you wanted to have sex with her. You really did. But something held you back. Some inner block had told you that it wasn’t time yet.

The past week had been a period of deep thought for you, as you contemplated all of the things that could be holding you back from doing what both of you wanted. The revelation had come at a small restaurant in town, really. You’d been eating with Berry when you spotted Aerial Ace and Twilight sitting together, deep in their conversation, and looking at each other with content expressions on their faces. While you didn’t realize it at the time, it was the memory of that dinner that sparked your newfound insight.

A slight shiver down your spine as you heaved a massive sigh and began walking once again. You approached her door with an uncertain smile on your face. Even when you felt nervous, being in Berry’s presence helped to ease your mind, and put things into perspective. Even if you were wrong about your insight, you knew that Berry wouldn’t leave you for this. You brought a hoof to the door three times in rapid succession, followed by a brief pause, and then two more knocks. You had made your knock a part of the routine, and Berry had come to associate that knock with you. It only took a few moments before the door swung inward.

Berry’s hair was normally left to flow down her neck in its usual loose fashion, but for tonight she had styled it up into an intricate bun, with several small gemstone studded clips holding it in place. And while Berry often mocked some ponies for their makeup, specifically Rarity, she had applied just enough for the evening to make her eyes seem far more attractive than they normally did. As your gaze moved down her lovely form you found that her dress was almost as appealing to look at as her face was.

The fabric seemed to shimmer in the light, and its silvery sheen seemed to complement the color of her fur perfectly. Along the hem of the dress were several rubies that matched the color of her fur, and some of them seemed to glow with an inner light that seemed to bring out the color of the rubies surrounding it. As you reached the end of the dress you were brought back to her face by a soft cough. She had a smile on her face, and a blush that you could make out even through the color of her coat. You quickly blushed as well, since you realize that you’d simply been gawking at her with your mouth gaping open for a few minutes.

“I’m not quite ready to go yet, but if you give me a couple minutes I’ll be ready.” You simply nod in response, following her into her house and closing the door behind yourself as you enter. Berry quickly made her way up the stairs to her room, and you contented yourself to stand awkwardly in Berry’s living room while she got ready. You soon found yourself staring at the wall, but with nothing of note on the wall, your gaze quickly wandered about the room, never staying on any one thing for more than a moment.

As your gaze passed over a bookshelf, something glinted in the light, catching your eye, if only for a moment. That moment was enough, though, to warrant further investigation. As you approached it, you noticed that it was a picture of you and Berry on your first date together. It’d been a disaster of a date, with you taking most of your meal to the face, rather than eating it. The waiter had spent several minutes apologizing over and over, and through it all Berry had been laughing at you. It wasn’t mocking laughter, and you joined her just moments after the food covered your face.

A half shouted curse echoes down the stairs, and you turn away from the picture to look towards the stairs. Nothing follows the outburst, and so you turn to see if there are any other pictures, but a second, louder, curse follows the first. You take a tentative step towards the stairs, expecting to hear your name called down. Much to your satisfaction, Berry did call your name, and the tone of voice indicated an intense level of irritation. You made your way up the stairs, and towards Berry’s bedroom.

You pushed open the door slowly, not wanting to barge in on anything. Behind the door you saw Berry with intricate sandals sitting before her, and a single sandal almost secured to one of her front hooves. She was glaring at the offending sandals with a level of venom that you thought was reserved for you when you made one of your puns. You thought you were the funniest stallion ever, but most of Ponyville disagreed, and so your classic jokes were often left in your mind, gathering dust. Still, Berry clearly needed the help of another pony, and so you took a step forward, attracting Berry’s attention.

“I wanted to get these on without your help, so I could surprise you, since I know you like how they look, but I couldn’t manage on my own.” Her voice betrays what her face doesn’t show, and you quickly approach and give her a small hug. She almost melts into your embrace, but you end it before it can get any steamier than it is. Berry lets out a groan of dissatisfaction when you end the embrace, but a quick peck on the lips brings a smile to your lips, and hers.

“You know that you don’t need to surprise me with fancy dress. I think you look beautiful in anything.” You bring one of the sandals to your face to try and make sense of how the clasps work as Berry responds.

“You need to work on your lines, Rain. If that had been cornier I’d have taken you for a farmer.” You just roll your eyes as you finally manage to make sense of the clasp. With a bit of difficulty you manage to do up the straps for the sandal already on one of her hooves, and the second one follows shortly afterwards, giving both of her front hooves a much improved look. With both front hooves done you moved to her back hooves. The first sandal went on quickly, without any incident. However, as you began to lace up the second strap you ran a hoof along her leg, rubbing lightly enough to elicit a response. She giggled softly as she turned to look at you, and just before she could say anything you repeated the motion, earning yet another giggle.

While you’d never gone all the way with Berry, you’d certainly found out how to tease her, and she knew how to get to you. Luckily, with the positions as they were, you knew she was defenseless. Her eyes sparkled in the light of her room, and you knew that if you were to continue with what you were doing she wouldn’t object for a minute. Sadly, for her, you stopped your teasing to finish the sandal, and soon enough she was free from your meddling.

As you stepped back from her to give her some space she turned to face you faster than you thought was possible for the mare, and she took several steps towards you, the look on her face being nearly enough to make you forget what you were thinking seconds ago. You’d only seen that look once before, and the context of that look made your knees go weak. She moved her head past yours, and her lips brushed your ears, sending shivers down your spine. Before she could actually start anything, though, she backed off, wide smile on her face.

“I’m sure that we’ll have more than enough time for that later, Rain. But for now, we have a dinner reservation to make.” Berry had made her way out of the room, and into the hall before you recovered enough to follow her down the stairs. It was only through sheer force of will that you had kept your wings from making known your thoughts on what Berry had just done.

As you exited her home you draped a wing over her back, drawing her closer to your side, allowing her warmth to seep into you, and yours into her. She clearly enjoyed the sensations, since she had moved closer than you had brought her with your wing. The trip to the restaurant took a bit longer than you had planned, since neither of you wanted to rush, and so you arrived a few minutes after your reservation had been for. Luckily, they had saved the table for you, and you were quickly seated. The place was the same one that you had seen Aerial and Twilight in, and you hoped that the night would go for you like it had for Aerial and Twilight.

The waiter came by just a few minutes after you had taken your seats, and he quickly offered up a menu of wines for your selection. Much as you expected, Berry quickly requested some obscure vintage, which the waiter quickly agreed to, and went to go and fetch. You raised your eyebrows at the mare, and she just blushed.

“It’s one of the best wines I’ve ever tasted. The bottles are expensive, though. They only made ten batches of the wine.” You nod, knowing that Berry would only pick something like that for a special occasion. Berry always liked to have a glass of wine with dinner, and her refined palate for liquors often left her in a bit of a bind, since most cheap stuff left her in a foul mood.

“I look forward to trying it. You’ve yet to suggest a drink that I didn’t like. Except for that one with the energy drinks. That one tasted awful.” Berry just giggled a bit, before she looked back to her menu. You followed suit, and soon you had chosen what you would have to eat. When the waiter returned, almost ten minutes later, he had an ornate stand levitating behind him, along with two wine glasses, and a bottle of wine wrapped in gold leaf. With clearly practiced ease the waiter stripped off the gold leaf near the top of the bottle, exposing the cork. The waiter quickly got the cork out of the bottle, a satisfying pop sounding out as the cork was finally removed from the bottle. The waiter poured a small amount of the wine into a glass, before he proffered it to you. You waved a hoof at the waiter, before motioning to Berry.

“Let her taste it. She’s much better at tasting wine than I could ever hope to be.” The waiter quickly moved the glass to Berry, and she took her time examining it before she brought it up to her nose. She took a deep whiff of the beverage before she finally tasted it. Her eyes lit up as the wine entered her mouth, and you could already tell that she liked it. She offered you what was left of the wine in the glass, and you took it gladly, interested to see what this wine tasted like if it could earn such a reaction from your marefriend.

You didn’t take as long as Berry did to drink it, but when you finally did have some you were blown away by the taste. It had a wonderful blend of flavors, going well beyond just grapes. As soon as you identified one aspect of the flavor, it changed subtly, forcing you to try to evaluate it once again. Berry smiled at you as you drank what was left in the glass, and once you finished you looked to the waiter.

“We’ll take the whole bottle, my good stallion.” The stallion just bowed, before placing the ornate stand at the edge of the table. He placed the bottle into the ice before he pulled out a small pad of paper. Both you and Berry knew what you wanted to eat, and so you placed your orders quickly, allowing the waiter to take it to the kitchen. You poured a glass of wine for Berry, and then one for yourself, before you put the bottle back into the ice, noting that the bottle was still full enough for several more glasses.

As you looked back to Berry you saw that she had raised her glass towards you, prompting you to do the same. The gentle chime of the glasses impacting each other rang in your mind clearly, lasting through the entire wonderful meal. Luckily for you, this meal didn’t involve you wearing your dinner, and so you didn’t get to enjoy the wonderful sound of Berry’s laughter. Instead, the two of you spoke freely on whatever topic seemed to come out of the previous one.

The waiter seemed to be only a distraction, and his periodic appearances seemed to disrupt the flow of your conversation immensely. As the restaurant grew less crowded, you and Berry slowly grew closer together, forgoing your original seating arrangement, and instead opting to sit next to each other. Berry draped a single hoof across your chest as you wrapped a wing around her. A single muttered phrase escaped Berry’s lips as the waiter came for the second to last time that evening, and it was that simple phrase that made you certain that tonight would be the night.

The check for the meal was far greater than you were expecting, and it was little surprise to you to see that almost half of the meal was for the wine alone. You counted out the bits with the tiniest frown on your face before Berry stopped you. She pulled a small card out of her dress, and then she put it on top of the small mountain of bits you had been constructing. The waiter came by just a few minutes after the mountain had been completed, and when he saw the card he visibly paled.

He then counted out the bits for the meal, less the price of the wine, he then bid the two of you a good night, and with that he left the two of you in peace. After a few minutes of contented sitting, you finally pulled your wing back to your side. Berry climbed out of her seat first, her majestic form prompting you to do the same. As the two of you exited the restaurant you noted with a smile that the skies above were clearer than you had seen in quite some time. As the two of you walked you began pointing out some of the constellations that you knew. While you had never taken a real interest in the stars themselves, the beauty they presented wasn’t lost on you. When you were just a few houses away from Berry’s you looked over to her to see her gaze lost in the stars.

Her eyes seemed to reflect every star’s light towards you, giving her eyes a breathtaking sparkle. You gave her a quick kiss as you turned towards her home, and she quickly looked away from the stars, and towards you. A second kiss followed the first, and as you broke the kiss you realized that you had made it to her door. She fumbled with the knob, for a moment, before it yielded to her attempts. The door swung open quickly, almost sending Berry tumbling into the house. You knew that she hadn’t had too much to drink, since the two of you had each only had two glasses, saving the rest to be had at a later date.

As she regained her balance, she looked at you with a degree of uncertainty. You knew why she was doing that, and without saying a word, you gave her a much more passionate kiss than the past two, and she reciprocated in kind, nearly crushing your face against hers. She pulled you inside quickly, making no efforts to hide her giddiness. You stumbled in after her as she let go of your hoof to rush up the stairs. You made sure to close the door before you started making your way up the stairs after the mare who held your heart. The door to Berry’s bedroom was open only a crack, and so you knocked on it softly before entering.

“Not yet,” came the soft reply. You waited patiently for a minute, before Berry’s voice broke the silence. “Now you can come in.”

You pushed open the door slowly, taking the time to savor this moment. The sight that met your eyes, though, was better than you could’ve ever hoped. Berry was lying on her bed, with the dress removed, and the sandals still on, accenting her legs. More than just the mare on the bed, though, was the atmosphere she had created in the scant minutes before you had entered. There were candles scattered about the room, creating an enticing atmosphere, and giving you enough light to see, but not enough to blind.

The mare on the bed just smiled at you as you entered, and then she batted her eyes in a way that she had never done before. You could feel your heart pounding in your chest, and without much thought on the matter you quickly removed the suit that you had been wearing since before you had come to Berry’s house hours ago. With the suit removed, you climbed onto the bed next to the mare, letting your eyes roam the length of her body without a trace of shame.

She brought a hoof to your chest as you looked down at her, and then her other hoof moved around your neck, bringing you in for a quick kiss. After the first kiss came a second, and then a third. The fourth kiss, though, acted as the catalyst for the remainder of the evening. As you planted your lips on Berry’s you felt a gentle probing at your lips. Hesitantly, you opened your lips, allowing Berry’s tongue to begin exploring the inside of your mouth. You moved your own to push hers back, and soon you claimed victory inside your mouth, and the battle moved to Berry’s mouth.

She allowed you a few moments to explore her mouth before her tongue attempted to assert its dominance over yours. You were not so easily bested, and so your tongues did battle for some time before you finally pulled back from the kiss. A strand of saliva linked your mouths together for a few moments longer before it snapped, breaking the contact. Your breath came in short gasps, as you could feel your body heating up, and your wings beginning to reach skyward. Berry’s breath also came in quick gasps, and you could clearly make out an intense blush on her cheeks. She brought a hoof up to your face, and she ran it along the line of your jaw, simply enjoying the feel of your fur beneath her hoof.

Without warning, though, the mare flipped the two of you over, letting you lie down on the bed as Berry sat atop your chest. She was quite light for her size, and your breathing wasn’t restricted too much by her presence. As you gazed up at her lovingly, she leaned down to give you another kiss. This one was far shorter than the last, and as she pulled back she had a look of pure happiness on her face. “I love you, Rain.” Another kiss followed this proclamation.

After that kiss, though, the mare began moving down your chest, her legs having taken up her weight, leaving you free to breathe without any restrictions. With the smile never leaving her lips, Berry began making her way down your chest, an occasional kiss marking her progress down your body. When she was about halfway down your chest you felt the first moan escape your body. You knew what she was going to do, and no part of you wanted her to stop what she was doing.

A single hoof reached to your maleness, and that touch was enough to elicit another groan from your lips. Berry let out a soft giggle as her hoof then ran up the length of your erection, stopping every few inches to let the mare adjust her position. As her hoof reached the tip her head was not level with it. You looked down at her, and she looked back up at you, the sparkle in her eyes having returned, but from the candles instead of the stars. Her tongue flicked out across the end of your erection once, twice, and then a third time, each contact bringing a moan from your body. After the third lick, you felt her lips press down on the head.

While you had thought the licks to be pleasant, they paled next to the sensation felt with your stallionhood inside the mare’s mouth. You felt her tongue begin to play along the underside, and the sensations caused you to lose focus on the mare. Her head began to move down along your length, and a drawn out moan escaped you as her tongue continued its dance along your tool. You gasped as you felt yourself enter her throat, and a moment later her nose reached your body, making it clear that she had taken all of you.

You managed to focus long enough to look down at the mare, and you could see that her eyes were closed. She started a slow rhythm on your member, and soon you felt yourself reaching the edge of your ability to hold back, and you managed to make that clear between gasps and moans. As she understood your words, she slowed her pace, and gradually you felt your length pull out of her mouth. As the tip left her mouth she gave a quick suck, letting you escape from her mouth with a clearly audible pop.

“Not as good as the wine, but certainly not a bad taste.” A soft giggle escaped her after her little monologue, and then you felt her hooves against your chest once more. When you looked down at her you could see that she was straddling you, her sex positioned just above you, a fine sheen of moisture clearly visible on the engorged lips. She rubbed her sensitive lips against you several times before she began to lower herself onto you.

The difference between her mouth and her sex was like the difference between night and day. It was only through the grace of Celestia that you managed to hold back as she lowered herself all the way down to the base. The whole way down the mare atop you had let a moan escape from her, slowly increasing in intensity as you penetrated her further and further. With her weight now resting against you, she brought a hoof to your face, her gentle touch bringing her into sharp focus, despite your clouded mind. You brought your own hooves to her body as she began to move up and down against you.

Her eyes stayed locked onto yours as she pistoned up and down, each thrust of yours timed with a downward thrust of hers. A rhythm quickly emerged, allowing both of you to let your bodies work on their own. Waves of pleasure began to wash through you as you reached the edge once again. You looked to the mare’s face as you felt the edge approaching, and you fought back against the coming orgasm, as you wanted to reach the brink at the same time.

Her eyes, which had slowly closed against her will suddenly opened wide as she reached her own orgasm, and that served as a beacon to allow you your own release. You felt her body quiver against you as the orgasm sent her body into a world of pleasure. Your own body shook with the force of your orgasm, and soon you felt that you could go no longer, and so you allowed the mare to enjoy her release to the fullest extent. As she finally stopped shaking, she fell forward onto your chest, her body no longer able to support itself.

You brought your hooves around her, holding her close as she began to stir once again. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, and you made sure that your eyes were the first thing that she saw. Her eyes slowly focused on you, and when she realized what had happened, she gave you a short, and loving, kiss. She lingered for no longer than needed to make it clear how she felt, and that was enough for you. She slowly moved off of your chest, and next to you, burying her face in your neck, her breathing growing slower as she began to drift off to sleep. You rolled over so that her face was against your chest, but still cushioned by one of your legs, and then you flapped your wing once, plunging the room into darkness as the wave of air extinguished the candles.

The mare pulled you closer as she began to drift off, and you planted a quick kiss on her forehead, eliciting a content sigh from the mare.

“I love you, Berry.” The mare’s breathing slowed further still, and you knew that she had fallen asleep in your grasp. You didn’t think she could hear you, and yet you still spoke fonder words to the mare. “You mean more to me than I can put into words, and I’m glad that you said yes all those weeks ago.”
