“Rainbow…” Twilight trailed off, groaning quietly. She didn’t get much of an answer, her frown deepening as she stared up at the ceiling. “Rainbow this isn’t working,” she said, putting her hoof on the pegasus’s head and gently pushing her away.
Rainbow Dash fought against it, struggling to stay where she was but finding the alicorn’s leg surprisingly strong. “Just give me a few more minutes, I’m sure I can-”
“It’s been forty-five minutes, Rainbow, and I’m no closer now than I was a half hour ago,” Twilight said with a deflating sigh. “Face it; it’s not happening.”
Giving a frustrated huff - whether at Twilight, herself, or the situation in general, she wasn’t sure - Rainbow allowed herself to be pushed away, laying her head on a purple thigh. “I can’t believe you’re admitting defeat,” she grumbled.
“I can’t believe you’re being this stubborn. Actually no, wait, I can believe it, I’m just surprised you can keep going. My jaw is sore just watching you.” Twilight giggled quietly in an effort to breathe some levity back into the room. She removed her hoof from Rainbow's head now that she wasn’t pressing against it. Instead, the pegasus crawled up Twilight’s body, hovering over her so their eyes met.
Rainbow’s face was a mess of tangled and matted fur, a dark stain covering most of her muzzle and dripping down onto her neck. Twilight winced at the sight, knowing she was the one responsible for it. “Sorry,” she whispered quietly.
“Don’t apologize,” Rainbow growled. “It’s not your fault I’m bad at this.”
Reaching up to cup Rainbow’s cheek in her hoof, feeling the dampness that lingered, Twilight shook her head. “You’re fine, Rainbow, I’m the one with the problem. Just… let me help you and then we can call it a night."
"Not happening, Twi," Rainbow argued firmly. "I'm not getting mine until you get yours. Maybe if we-"
"It won't work!" Twilight shouted, the full scale of her frustration showing in her voice for perhaps the first time. She saw the way her outburst made Rainbow's ears lay back and immediately softened her gaze. "Sorry, I'm sorry, it's just… I'm tired, Rainbow. We've been trying for weeks and haven't gotten anywhere."
"Then we'll try something new tomorrow," Rainbow said, mustering as much of her usual confidence as she could. "And if that doesn't work, it'll be something else the day after that."
Twilight did her best to put on a convincing smile, though it was undermined by the way her gaze flicked to the side. "I don't know, Rainbow. Maybe… Maybe we should take a break for a little while. I've got a lot on my plate right now, we have that summit in a few days that I have to prepare for."
"Take a break?" Rainbow echoed wearily, her worry showing clearly on her face.
Twilight’s eyes widened as she realized how her words had been interpreted. "No! Not like that. Not… not us. I meant, just, a break from this," she clarified, making a broad gesture to herself and Dash.
"Oh," Rainbow said, letting out a relieved breath as she rolled off of Twilight so they were laying next to each other in the bed. "So you're just giving up, then?"
"What else can I do? Nothing's working and every time we try I just get more and more frustrated. I've started taking it out on you, too. Snapping at you for no reason and nitpicking you constantly. You haven't said anything, but I can tell it's starting to get to you," Twilight admitted guiltily. "I don't want to push you away just because I'm… unable to finish."
Rainbow looked over at her marefriend, reaching out to run her hoof through the soft fur of Twilight's chest. "You're not gonna scare me off that easy, Twi. I'd be cranky if I couldn't cum, too. I get it."
Twilight blushed at the blunt and rather crude way Rainbow phrased the problem, but couldn't find anything inaccurate with it. "I appreciate the support, Dashie," she said, eliciting a matching blush from the pegasus for the nickname. "I just wish I knew why this is happening. It was never this hard before, was it?"
"Oh, Twi, making you cum has always been a challenge," Rainbow said, making the alicorn turn to look at her worriedly.
"Really?"
She snorted, shaking her head quickly. "No, I'm just bugging you. You've always needed some warmup but I've never had a problem getting you off," she explained, before a cocky smile slid onto her muzzle and she added; "I might not be the best judge of things though, since I am pretty good in bed."
Rolling her eyes, Twilight leaned over and placed a small kiss on Rainbow's cheek. "Yes, yes, you're a very skilled lover."
Her smile faded, and Rainbow rolled onto her back to look at the ceiling. "Not good enough, apparently," she muttered.
"Rainbow…"
"It's true though. We wouldn't be having this problem if I was better, right?"
Twilight shook her head vigorously, rolling over to face Rainbow properly. She reached out with her magic and grasped the pegasus's chin in a magenta glow, turning it so their eyes met. "Rainbow, you're fine. No - not fine. You're great. I love the things you can do to me." She felt herself blushing again, but forced herself to ignore it. "You've always made it feel amazing for me, and you regularly put my needs before your own. Even now, you've been performing oral on me for almost an hour, just so I can feel good.
"It has nothing to do with you, or your skill, or anything like that. There's something wrong with me," Twilight insisted, only letting go of Rainbow's chin when she was finished.
Rainbow didn't turn away even as she was released. "Twi… that was super mushy."
The blush that had been growing on her cheeks suddenly exploded across her face, and Twilight huffed as rolled away so her back was facing the pegasus.
"Awww come on, Twi, it was also really cute and a little bit flattering," Rainbow added, sliding forward and hugging Twilight from behind, pressing her muzzle into the crook of her neck. "There's nothing wrong with you, though," she whispered gently. "You've just… got a small problem we need to solve."
"I don't even know where to start," Twilight admitted in a hushed mumble. "This came out of nowhere."
Rainbow opened her mouth to say something, but found she didn't have the words. She was as much at a loss as Twilight was. And with how busy the mare had been recently with her princess duties, there hadn't been much time for the usual intense research sessions Twilight would throw herself into when faced with a problem. It was looking like there wouldn't be much time in the near future, either, with some kind of big meeting happening soon. There were a lot of important ponies making the trip up to Canterlot for it, including all four of the princesses.
Wait…
"Hey, Twi?" Rainbow ventured slowly.
"Hmmm?"
"That big thing coming up. Did you say all the princesses were going?
Twilight groaned quietly. "Don't remind me. I'm knee-deep in prepping for it already and it isn't happening until the weekend."
"Yeah, but… Cadance will be there too then, right?"
"No," she said, turning her head to give Rainbow a firm look. "We are not going to Cadance about this."
"But Twi-"
"Rainbow, she's my sister-in-law," Twilight practically hissed. "I can't talk to her about… about sex! I'd die of embarrassment! And a problem like this is even more embarrassing! Not to mention, I'm sure she doesn't want to think of the little filly she foal-sat in this context. No. No way. Not an option."
marefri
Rainbow frowned, squeezing Twilight a little tighter to her chest. "Then what are our options? Just… stop having sex?"
"I… I don't know, Dashie," Twilight confessed, pressing her head deeper into her pillow. "I'm sorry."
Nuzzling the back of her neck gently, Rainbow felt herself frown. "It's okay, Twi. We'll figure something out."
Rainbow Dash’s wings fidgeted nervously against her sides as she paced a regal hallway anxiously, hoofsteps silenced by the plush red rug covering the floor. Her brow was creased deeply in thought, to the point she’d practically forgotten the handful of guards standing at attention along the corridor, their eyes watching her curiously.
“Twi’s gonna kill me,” she muttered to herself, before chuckling weakly and shaking her head. “And if she keeps correcting my posture, I’m gonna kill her.”
There was a noise, somewhere far off, and it echoed through the castle. Rainbow looked up, her eyes cast far down the hall. Nothing happened, nopony else entered the hall, and Rainbows returned to her pacing.
“This can’t keep going. I can tell how stressed out and miserable she is, I’ve gotta do something, right?” Rainbow asked, her eyes locked with a random guard’s. He didn’t respond, and she filled his silence for him. “Right. I’ve gotta do something. She’s my marefriend, and I want to help her, and sometimes that means doing something she specifically told me not to do. It’s not a bad thing when it’s for her own good, right?”
Again, no answers came from the stoic stallions on duty, but Rainbow didn’t really need their input anyway. “Right. I’m gonna go against her wishes, because it’s for her own good, and I’m gonna solve our problem and she’ll be happy in the end.”
Secure in her reasoning, Rainbow nodded to herself, and her pacing slowed. She sighed, glancing around the hallway. Still, nopony besides her and the armour stands. She groaned, coming to a stop and letting her flank hit the floor. “Come on, how long is this gonna take?”
Her hoof tapped impatient against the floor, but the rug muffled the noise to the point where it was hardly even worth it.
“Augh, I wish I was paying attention when Twi was reading off the plan-thing for this meeting. At least then I’d have an idea of when it was ending.”
Rainbow leaned her back against the wall, setting her face into a determined scowl. “Whatever, I’ll wait for as long as it-
“Rainbow Dash?”
The pegasus shot to her hooves at the voice, and she turned to see exactly the mare she’d been hoping to see at the far end of the hall. “Cadance!” She cried, rushing over. Glancing around suspiciously, Rainbow asked, “Is the meeting over?”
The alicorn quirked her head curiously. “Yes, it’s over. Shouldn’t you be meeting up with Twilight-”
Rainbow grabbed Cadance’s hoof, dragging her further into the hall towards the doors that lead to the princess’s guest room. “Later. Listen, I need to talk to you, privately.”
Pulled off-balance as she was, Cadance took a moment to wrap her mind around what was happening. She frowned as soon as she did. “What’s going on? Why do you need to talk to me so badly, and without Twilight?”
A whine came from the back of Rainbow’s throat, and she shifted her weight from hoof to hoof nervously. “It’s a long story, and I really don’t want Twi to spot us, so-”
Rainbow was cut off as the door opened in a light pink glow, and she quickly ducked inside, with Cadance following calmly a moment later. It shut behind them, trapping them together in a rather small room, though it was still plenty regal enough to be considered a royal suite.
“Rainbow Dash,” Cadance said firmly, her gaze hardening on the mare in question. “What’s going on between you and Twilight?” Her horn glowed threateningly. “Answer carefully, because even if I’m not as good as her, I know plenty of spells to make you regret hurting my sister.”
As the blood drained from Rainbow’s face, she realized the situation she’d put herself in fully for perhaps the first time, and a part of her thought that this may have been the reason Twilight didn’t want to talk to the Princess of Love in the first place. “N-no, nothing like that! I didn’t do anything to Twilight,” she explained quickly, holding up her hooves defensively. “I swear!”
The dark look on Cadance’s face lifted, and she smiled. “Oh, good. For a second there I thought I would have to send you to tartarus for a few years. Tea?” She offered, revealing that her horn had been glowing to make a tray for them. It was set on a coffee table set between three large armchairs, and Cadance motioned for Rainbow to lead the way.
Somewhat awkwardly, Rainbow accepted the invitation, and before she knew it she found herself sitting opposite Cadance, and vacant chair next to her speaking loudly. Tea was served in a pink glow, and Rainbow stared at her cup for a few, silent moments.
“So,” Cadance started, taking a sip from her own cup. “Obviously something’s bothering you. Why don’t you tell me what it is, and I’ll decide from there whether I’ll be turning you into a worm for the birds or a rat for the snakes.”
Rainbow looked up at the alicorn, eyes wide as the saucer beneath her teacup, and found Cadance suppressing a laugh.
“Relax, Rainbow - I’m only teasing. No relationship is perfect, and I expected you two would be coming to see me one day. Though I admit I’m surprised it was you on your own before Twilight,” Cadance explained.
Only partially relaxing, Rainbow took a moment to compose herself, taking a small sip of her tea and cringing at the bitter flavour. A small dish of sugarcubes was offered in a pink glow, and she accepted it happily, plopping a few into her cup.
Cadance watched her carefully, counting the sugarcubes, then giving up and instead counting the cavities. When the dish was very nearly empty and the cup almost overflowing, she cleared her throat forcefully.
Rainbow jolted, and looked up again, smiling guiltily as she set the dish down. It was quickly moved out of her reach. “Heh, sorry. I’m, um, a bit nervous about this.”
“Don’t be; I’m here to help, judgment free.”
“Yeah, that’s not really what I’m nervous about. Twi… Twi didn’t want me to talk to you. I kinda lied to her about where I am right now.”
Cadance’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Twilight didn’t want to involve me?” she asked, waiting to see a confirming nod. “Rainbow Dash, tell me what’s going on. I have to imagine it’s serious if you’re here.”
Fidgeting in her seat, Rainbow started to realize why Twilight had been opposed to this idea in the first place. She felt awkward talking about it, and she couldn’t imagine how much weirder it would be if it was a member of her family sitting across from her. Let alone somepony she’d known since childhood. For that matter, she had yet to see how the family member in question would react to such a personal problem. “It’s about me and Twi,” she ventured slowly, testing the waters. “It’s… uhm… it’s kinda private, I dunno if you want to know exactly but-”
“Please, Rainbow, this is my job, I’ve heard it all,” Cadance pointed out, rolling her eyes slightly at the pegasus’s hesitance. “Twilight may be family but it’s nothing I can’t handle-
“Twi can’t cum."
Cadance’s eye twitched. “Oh.”
“Last time we tried I was eating her out for almost an hour. Dildos don’t help, vibrators don’t help, even me sucking on her horn doesn’t help - and she usually pops in ten seconds flat when I go for her horn,” Rainbow explained quickly, her brow knitting and her jaw seeming to move on its own. “I put our biggest dildo in the strapon and went to town on her for at least-”
Cadence cleared her throat forcefully. “Th-that’s enough, I get it.”
“Nothing works,” Rainbow summarized, her frown growing deeper. “And every time we try, Twi just gets more frustrated. And now she’s just totally given up. Won’t even let me try to start anything with her.”
“Is this difficulty unusual?” Cadance asked, taking a sip of tea to try and regain her fracturing composure.
“Yeah, we’ve never had a problem like this before. Well, I guess there was one other time, but that was a one-time fluke.”
Leaning forward slightly, Cadance focused her attention on the mare across from her. “Well, tell me about that time. What happened?”
“Nothing, really,” Rainbow said with a shrug. “Twi was stressing out over some big report she was working on, I convinced her to take a break for some fun. She couldn’t, er, finish, and eventually got fed up and went to bed. It was seriously just the one time though - after she finished whatever she was working on we ‘celebrated’-” Rainbow made very obvious air quotes, “and there wasn’t a problem.”
“Ah, I get it.”
Rainbow’s eyebrows lifted. “Get what? That time hardly even counts, we-”
“What you’re telling me, Rainbow Dash, is that the only other time this has happened was when Twilight was under a large amount of stress,” Cadence explained slowly.
“Uh, yeah, I guess she was kinda working herself up over it. But what does that have to do with what’s going on right now?” Rainbow asked pointedly. “That was one time, and she was fine when she finished her thing. This has been going on for almost a month.”
Cadance nodded. “It’s been almost a month already, huh? Time really flies.”
“What?”
“Rainbow, what else happened almost a month ago that might be causing Twilight a large amount of stress?”
Quirking her head to the side, Rainbow mulled over the question in her mind, thinking back to when- oh. Oh. “Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“Twilight’s coronation was a month ago,” Rainbow said, and she felt the urge to smack herself. “She’s been super stressed about the princess thing since then.”
Cadance relaxed back into her chair, idly taking a drink from her tea as Rainbow swallowed the information.
“So, this happens when Twi’s stressing out over stuff then?” Rainbow asked, bringing her own sugar-fill cup to her lips - and still finding it too bitter.
“Sounds like it. It also very much sounds like Twilight. She’s probably too busy worrying and thinking to relax properly when she’s with you,” Cadance explained.
Rainbow nodded slowly, but she didn’t seem relieved just knowing the source of the problem. “So, what, we’ve just gotta wait ‘till she isn’t stressed?”
“That is one possibility,” Cadance said somewhat vaguely. “But given how long this has been going on, and since Twilight won’t exactly stop being a princess, it’s also possible this is the new baseline, and if nothing changes… well… nothing will change.”
“Great,” Rainbow huffed, slouching back in her chair and crossing her arms. “Dead bedroom here I come for the rest of my life.”
Cadance’s eyes shone mischievously over the rim of her cup. “Rest of your life? I didn’t know you were planning on getting married. When did things become so serious?”
Face lighting up like a red-hot coal, Rainbow shot upright. “I-I d-didn't… th-that’s not what- I.. I…” Her desperate rambling was cut off by the alicorn’s giggling, and Rainbow scowled at her. “That wasn’t funny,” she muttered sulkily.
“I thought it was,” Cadance shot back, her mischievous smile turning genuine. “But it’s nice to hear. You clearly care about her a lot.”
“Well duh,” Rainbow said, scoffing as she looked away. “She’s my marefriend. ‘Course I care about her.”
Somewhere in Cadance’s mind, she found the difference in Rainbow Dash’s demeanor between talking about her sex life and her romantic life funny. “But, it’s precisely because you care about her so much that there’s another way you might be able to solve your problem. If you’re willing to try.”
Rainbow immediately perked up, ears swiveling forward to give Cadance her full attention. “Anything. Twi’s miserable, I just wanna help her relax.”
“That’s good, because you may have to force her to relax.”
“Huh?”
Cadance’s horn sparked to life, and after a moment a swirling portal of pinkish magic appeared next to her. After a moment, a pair of books floated out, setting themselves on the counter. “Have you ever heard of BDSM?”
Eyeing the books skeptically, ‘Domination for Dummies’ and ‘Bondage: A Beginner’s Guide’ respectively, Rainbow felt a worried pit forming in her stomach as she looked back up. “Uh, y’mean like, whips ‘n chains ‘n stuff?”
“Something like that, though there’s a lot more to it.” Cadance paused as she flipped open the first book, turning through the pages almost idly as her eyes skimmed the words. “I’m only suggesting this because I know Twilight as well as I do, and I’ve got a hunch that this might work for her - for both of you.”
“I-I don’t wanna hurt her!” Rainbow argued indignantly.
“Relax, while some ponies do enjoy things like impact play or other forms of pain play, it’s not a requirement. And certainly not something I’d recommend for a total beginner. Ah-hah, here it is,” she said, as the pages stopped turning on a chapter entitled ‘Taking Control’.
Rainbow’s eyes narrowed slightly. “So then what are you suggesting?”
Sighing, Cadance turned her attention back to the mare across from her. “Twilight is… she’s very in control. Of everything. She has to be. I know you’ve seen how tightly she schedules her time. And now that she’s a Princess, she feels the need to be in control of even more than just her own life,” she explained slowly, making sure Rainbow was still nodding along. “What I’m suggesting is a way to make her give up that control - temporarily - and let go of the things causing her stress, and in turn the things causing her… problem.”
“That… actually makes sense to me,” Rainbow said, not sure if she was more amazed that it made sense at all or that she was able to follow the logic. “But how do I do that?”
“By taking some away. Show her that she can trust you to take over for a little while - take control of her - and she’ll be able to give you all of it. Or at least, enough to let her relax and enjoy herself.”
Rainbow felt like a broken record as she asked, “And how do I do that?”
Cadance smirked, the other book levitating up next to her. “How good are you at tying knots?”
There were a few, important elements to a picnic. Twilight would probably have made a mile long checklist in preparation for such an event, but Rainbow Dash understood what really made a successful outing. At least, she thought so, and Twilight certainly wasn’t complaining. Sure, the food was simple, but it needed to be eaten outdoors and without a table, so sandwiches were ideal anyway. The blanket wasn’t the softest fabric or the prettiest colors - Rarity may have even called it tacky - but it was thick enough to smooth over any rocks or other debris at the chosen spot, and they weren’t exactly looking at it. No, the most important element to a picnic was, in Rainbow Dash’s not-so-humble opinion, the location.
Because a picnic under a tree in the park was nice.
And a picnic on the shore of the lake may have been good.
But a picnic on a cloud overlooking the whole of Ponyville and the surrounding fields was great. Amazing, even. And several other words Twilight could have spouted off like the walking, talking dictionary she was.
Rainbow was drawn out of her thoughts as she felt the bookworm in question shifting under her wing. She looked over, and found a pair of violet irises looking right back at her. No words were exchanged, but plenty of communication happened, and they both leaned forward to join their lips in a tender kiss.
When they pulled back, it was Twilight who was first to speak. “This was phenomenal, Rainbow.”
There was one of those fancy words, right on cue. “Heh, yeah, I really outdid myself this time.” She looked over, saw the unimpressed look at her bragging. “Only ‘cuz you deserve it, though. I bet you knocked it out of the park in that meeting yesterday.”
Twilight blushed and looked away, fiddling with her hooves. “Well… Celestia did compliment my preparedness…”
“So a home run, is what I’m hearing,” Rainbow said, leaning over to kiss the alicorn on the cheek. She lingered there, her breath puffing into Twilight’s ear. “I’m proud of you.”
Recoiling slightly, Twilight pulled back enough to face her again. “H-huh?”
“I’m proud of you,” Rainbow repeated, her smile faltering almost imperceptibly. She forced herself to stay strong, trusting in the knowledge Cadance had tried to give her. “You did a good job, right?”
“Y-yeah, I did, but…” Twilight trailed off, and found herself wondering why exactly she’d been so surprised to hear those words in the first place. It was only natural to be proud of your significant other’s accomplishments, right? “Th-thank you,” she said, feeling something welling up in her chest at the unexpected praise.
Rainbow’s smile grew wider as she mentally patted herself on the back. With the success emboldening her, she pushed forward - both literally and figuratively, as she shuffled closer to the alicorn under her wing, their sides pressing together. She ducked in to lay yet more pecks along Twilight’s cheek, traveling upwards until-
“R-rainbow,” Twilight gasped out as the pegasus found her ear. It flicked and twitched, but was unable to escape as Rainbow took the thin, delicate skin between her teeth. “Y-you know I’m s-sensitive th-” she cut herself off with a short, strangled gasp as her ear was gently nibbled on. Rainbow’s teeth ran an arch from the tapered tip down to the base, then back up.
“Yeah,” she said around the ear in her mouth. “I know.”
“Then quit it,” Twilight said, though she made no effort to move her head out of reach. In fact, she leaned further against Rainbow’s side, giving even easier access.
Rainbow chuckled breathily as she switched targets, releasing the ear. “Don’ wanna,” she mumbled, craning her neck down and pressing her lips against Twilight’s jaw, following the bone down to her neck and finding another of the alicorn’s many weak spots.
Sighing happily at the pegasus’s ministrations, Twilight found herself having to suppress a moan that she wasn’t quite ready to let out yet. She did lift her head to expose her neck further, though. “You’re a little too good at this.”
“Only because you make it so easy for me,” Dash shot back, taking advantage of the newly exposed surface area. Her wing joined her lips in their teasing effort, feathers running along Twilight’s back in slow strokes from the alicorn’s neck down to just above her tail. Stopping just short of her dock.
Twilight didn’t have an answer for that, and even if she did, her breath was stolen by a gasp as Rainbow darted back up to nip at her ear, harder this time. She tried to flick it free, but it was held fast. She was okay with that.
“So...” Rainbow breathed huskily, her wing trailing lower until her feathers were pushing through the fur of Twilight’s flank. “Did the picnic make up for me missing you after the meeting yesterday?”
Pretending to think on the question, Twilight hummed - though even that was only to disguise a soft groan as her cutie mark was massaged. “Maybe.”
“Well, if that wasn’t enough…” Rainbow’s voice became coarser, bordering on a growl. “I could always make it up to you in other ways.” She nuzzled the top of Twilight’s head, pressing it down to gain access to her horn.
Realizing this a moment too late, Twilight gasped out, “Dash-” but it was too late, and she suppressed a moan as Rainbow’s tongue flicked out of her mouth to lick along the spiraled ridges. The contact was quick, barely there at all, but the effect was immediate, and Twilight had to forcefully stop her tail from flagging.
Rainbow chuckled, tilting her head and kissing the alicorn at the base of her horn. “I think we should take this back to my place.”
“Mmmm, and if I don’t want to?” Twilight asked, and they both recognized it for the weightless bluff it was.
But Rainbow accepted the challenge with a grin anyway. “Well, it’s not my first choice, but I wouldn’t mind doing it out here. Give the whole town a little show, hmmm?”
Twilight shivered at the words, at how sincere they had sounded, at how tempting that idea began to sound as Dash’s wing continued to caress her back, her flank, her rump. “Your place, then?” She asked, dropping the ruse entirely. Rainbow had earned that much, at least.
“My place,” Rainbow breathed, and was surprised to find herself suddenly engaged in a kiss. One that she returned eagerly. The momentary distraction was all Twilight needed, and she had already slipped out of the pegasus’s grasp by time Rainbow had recovered. She stuck her tongue out playfully.
“Come on then, slowpoke,” she taunted, flaring her wings and jumping off the cloud. Rainbow watched her start flying into the distance, looking back at the remains of their picnic. She weighed the options in her head, before shrugging and launching into the air. She’d remember to come collect their things later… maybe.
“Slow?” Dash asked, as she easily caught up to the relatively-new flier. “Wanna try that again, egghead?” Twilight glanced over at her, and she flipped onto her back, folding her hooves behind her head and laying back - still easily keeping pace. “Or do you wanna race?”
Rainbow was taken aback by the sudden smirk on Twilight’s face. “Sure, I’ll race. First one to your place wins?”
“Uh, yeah, sure, but-”
Twilight’s horn sparked to life before Rainbow could finish her thought. “Three two one go!” She shouted, and in a flash of magic, she was gone. Rainbow blinked, clearing the spots in her eyes, before looking forward. In the distance, she could see a purple blob standing on her front doorstep. What she couldn’t see was the alicorn’s smug smile, but she could feel it, even from this distance.
Her suspicions were confirmed as she got close enough to see a toothy grin on Twilight’s muzzle. “That’s cheating,” Rainbow muttered as she touched down.
“You didn’t say no magic,” Twilight pointed out, reaching up to tap her horn. “Never leave home without it!”
Rainbow opened her mouth to argue, but found her lips captured in a kiss, more heated than the ones before it as their destination had grown closer. She leaned into it, pushed her tongue into Twilight’s mouth and made it her own, drawing out a low, rumbling groan from the alicorn.
Until she felt a hoof on her chest, gently pushing her away.
“Rainbow,” Twilight panted as their kiss was ended. She chewed her lip anxiously, looking down at her hooves. “I…I don’t know if...”
“Twi-”
“What if I still can’t… you know.”
Rainbow watched the emotional turmoil on Twilight’s face. Could guess at a scant few of the feelings lurking behind her eyes. She reached out with a wing, cupping Twilight’s chin and lifting the alicorn’s muzzle so their eyes could meet. “Don’t think about it,” she said. “Try to relax and enjoy it. I… I have an idea.”
“Idea?” Twilight echoed curiously, tilting her head in Rainbow’s grasp. “Do you think you can…” she trailed off, and Rainbow smirked.
“We’ll just have to try it and see, won’t we?”
Still uncertain, Twilight’s eyes flicked between Rainbow Dash and the door to the pegasus’s house. A frown started to stretch her lips, until she was dragged back into another kiss. It lingered for only a brief moment, but when it ended she was once more looking into her lover’s eyes.
“It’ll be okay, Twi,” Rainbow said, her voice brimming with sincerity. “Trust me.” She reached out with a hoof to open her door and bent over into a mockingly chivalrous bow, urging Twilight inside.
After a moment of indecision, Twilight stepped into the cloud house. “If you’re sure.”
Rainbow watched her go, a small smile on her lips as her eyes lingered on Twilight’s flanks for a few extra moments before she hurriedly followed. No sooner had the door closed than Rainbow was once more on the offensive, a wing wrapping tightly around lavender shoulders, hugging the alicorn tight against her side while she leaned over to continue to kiss and nip at any exposed flesh her muzzle could reach.
Twilight’s neck was playfully nipped at, teeth raking over the sensitive skin, followed by a gentle lick, almost as an apology for the sharper sensation. Dash’s wing squeezed and rubbed at her other side, feathers trailing over the alicorn’s own, and Rainbow earned a gasp as she moved up and bit at the point where Twilight’s jaw met her neck.
“You’re a lot of fun to play with, Egghead,” she whispered into Twilight’s neck, trailing kisses down, her tongue leaving whorls in lavender fur.
“Sh-shut up,” Twilight groaned back, and Rainbow could hear the beginning of a moan before she could bite it back.
“Make me.” She knew she wouldn’t. Couldn’t, at this point. But the way she struggled, as though trying to, was adorable.
A whine vibrated up from the back of Twilight’s throat. Rainbow’s wing trailed down further, until her feathers were massaging the six-pointed star on Twilight’s flank.
“Daaaaash,” Twilight mewled, lifting her head and showing the pegasus all the best spots.
Rainbow chuckled, pulling away and resisting the tempting offer presented to her. “Yes, Egghead?”
The only answer she got was a small, needy whimper.
“What was that?” She asked, her voice dropping into a deep timbre. “Speak up for me.”
“M-more,” Twilight almost whimpered, shaking her hips and drawing the pegasus’s attention to her desperately flagging tail. “I n-need more.”
Rainbow grinned lecherously, and Twilight gasped as she stepped away, all stimulation ending. “More of what?” she asked
Twilight looked over at her, her face a mix of arousal and confusion and what almost looked like hurt, all at once. Her lips were parted slightly to enable her heavy breaths, eyes burning with need. “You know what.”
“Do I?” Rainbow asked, a hoof tapping thoughtfully at her chin. “I’m not sure. Maybe you should tell me. You’re so smart, after all. You always love telling me new things.”
This time, Twilight really did whimper, her hoof pawing the ground impatiently. She threw her eyes around the room, looking at anything other than the smug grin Rainbow sported. Eventually, when she found nothing that could hold her attention, Twilight was forced to look back at her. “I want you to… m-make love to me.”
The words were innocent and timid, the desires behind them anything but, and Rainbow enjoyed watching the blush growing deeper on Twilight’s face. That didn’t mean she was satisfied with the answer though. “Hmmm, is that really what you want, Egghead?” She asked, and Twilight gasped as she was touched again - just a single feather, tracing the outline of her cutie mark.
“Yes, Dash, please,” Twilight panted, and Rainbow saw the way her front legs threatened to buckle beneath her.
The feather moved back, running up and down Twilight’s rump, slowly moving inward, one unbearably slow inch at a time. “I want you to be more specific,” Rainbow said, as her feather danced dangerously close to where it was so desperately wanted. Needed.
“I w-want- Ah!” Twilight was cut off by a sharp bite on her collar bone that would definitely leave a bruise. Rainbow ran her tongue over the mark lovingly.
“What was that?” She asked into Twilight’s neck.
“I-I want you to-” Again, she was denied her chance to answer as her breath was stolen by that one, teasing feather. It dipped inward, painfully close to the right spot. Close enough Dash could feel the heat radiating outwards.
Then it jumped to the opposite side, and trailed down Twilight’s thigh, following a dark, wet trail left in her fur.
“One more time for me?”
Twilight turned her head to glare at Rainbow. A venomous, spiteful, pitiful look of need, and Rainbow knew it was almost time. She stepped around the alicorn so she could see her work, her feather never once breaking contact as she moved. Once she was there, she was able to fully admire the state she’d put her marefriend in, and she licked her lips.
“I-i want you to-” Twilight clenched her teeth and hissed as a pair of lips pressed against her inner thigh. But this time, she was prepared. “T-t-t-to h-have sex with me,” she managed, and a moan reverberated through her body as her words were rewarded with a gentle nip on the opposite thigh.
Rainbow watched as a few drops of arousal ran down Twilight’s legs. Caught them on her feathers. “Come on, Egghead. I know I’ve taught you better words by now. We’ve been dating a little too long for the innocent virgin act.”
Her feathers rubbed more firmly now, on either side of the puffy, needy lips, but never close enough to do more than tease.
Twilight practically screamed. “Fine! I get it! Sweet Celestia, Dash! Just fuck me already!”
“Better,” Rainbow said, and Twilight braced for… something. Anything. But instead all she got was another kiss, tauntingly close but nowhere near. “But you’re supposed to ask for the things you want, not demand them.”
A strangled sob slipped past Twilight’s mouth as she felt the pegasus’s breath on her burning lips. Bucked back into it but was met with only empty air. “Please! Please fuck me!”
“There we go,” Rainbow purred, and pushed a single feather into Twilight’s dripping entrance. And Twilight’s forelegs finally gave out, her front half all but dropping to the floor. Her rump almost followed, were it not for Rainbow’s hooves wrapping around her flanks and holding her up. Hot breath puffing directly against her folds.
But it wasn’t enough, and they both knew it, and Rainbow was happy to give more. Give everything she had. Her wing pulled out, brushing down until it found the tight bundle of nerves at the bottom. Pressed and against it and rubbed in deliberate circles.
“Oooh~” Twilight groaned, letting her head fall slack against the soft cloud floor.
“Is this what you wanted?” She asked, using her hooves to spread Twilight’s folds open and allow her feathers deeper access.
“Ye-es.”
Rainbow grinned at the way her voice cracked. “Then what do you say when you get what you want?”
“Th-thank you Dash-iiieeee~” Her voice turned into a squeal as her slickened entrance was suddenly penetrated by a tongue much thicker than the feather had been. The other feather still hadn’t left her clit, either. Rainbow could see the tension building in the alicorn, felt her clenching against her tongue, bucking her hips back into her face.
And for a moment, she thought she wouldn’t have to use the bag she’d stashed under her bed.
But then, despite her pace increasing, despite her hooves roughly massaging Twilight’s sensitive cutiemark on both sides, she felt as that tension started to fade. And she could sense an all-too familiar frustration replacing it.
Twilight groaned, and it wasn’t the good kind. “Dash-”
“Let’s move this to the bedroom,” Rainbow said, pulling her tongue free. She dipped back in for a moment to lick up the juices that were now dripping freely. “There’s something new I wanna try.”
Sighing, Twilight unfolded herself from the floor, shivering slightly as Rainbow’s feathers fell across her back to guide her along. She looked over at the pegasus, and their eyes met. “Something new, huh?” She asked.
Rainbow darted forward and drew her into a kiss, one that lingered in the form of little pecks and nips until they’d made it to the bed. “Yeah.” She dropped her voice lower, huskier, to hide her own building nerves. “I’m gonna make you mine.”
“Yours?” Twilight echoed. “Dashie, I’m already your- oof!” She was pushed onto the bed, landing on her back atop the soft blankets.
“Not like that,” Rainbow said, as she ducked her head down out of view. When she came back up, a black, silken eye mask was clenched between her teeth. She passed it to a wing as she stepped up onto the bed, crawling forward so she was standing over the alicorn. “I’m going to take you, and make you mine.” She watched Twilight’s eyes follow the blindfold.
Then Twilight looked back up at her, and her silent question was silently answered.
Rainbow brought the mask up, paused, and leaned down to kiss her again. Long, and slow, and passionate. Taking Twilight’s lower lip between her own and sucking gently, pulling back, letting it snap back into place then diving in to do it all again. A throaty moan vibrated her mouth, and she wasn’t entirely sure which one of them it came from. Eventually, when she felt it was time, the mask was laid over Twilight’s eyes, making sure the last thing the alicorn saw was the face of her lover before quickly tying it behind her head.
She felt Twilight shiver, looking around as though expecting to see something.
“You okay, Egghead?”
“Y-yeah,” Twilight answered, and Rainbow frowned at the tremor in her voice. But relaxed as she saw the timid smile on her lips. Some nervousness was there, certainly, but also anticipation. Excitement, even. It was a good sign.
“I’ve read about this,” Twilight continued, and Rainbow knew she was trying to calm herself by looking at the situation through the lens of something familiar. “They say removing one sense heightens others. That everything feels more intense when you can’t see.”
“Is that what they say?” Rainbow asked idly, sliding down Twilight’s body slightly. “Then how does this feel?” Once more she bit at the outline of her collar bone, on the other side from the forming bruise.
Twilight gasped sharply, holding her breath for as long as Rainbow’s teeth remained pressed into her flesh. When she let go, her breath came out as a shaky sigh. “D-definitely more intense,” she said. “But that might just be because I can’t anticipate where it’s going to happen.”
“Good,” Rainbow purred. Her eyes trailed along Twilight’s body as she moved further back. Her wings reached down to continue to their feather-light touches. Along the alicorn’s ribs, over her flanks, across her belly. Every touch earned a little shiver, or gasp, or hum, and Rainbow drank it all in. But she wasn’t satisfied with such small reactions anymore. She looked down at her target and licked her lips, leaning down slowly, so as not to make her position too obvious the her blinded lover, and then-
“Ah!” Twilight yelped as she felt Dash’s lips wrap around her nipple. The stiffened nub was quickly sucked into the pegasus’s mouth, while a hoof came up to toy her other teat, rubbing in small circles around her areola.
Rainbow smiled as best she could. Twilight’s teats had always been sensitive, especially when she was already turned on, but the blindfold seemed to bring a new level to it entirely. Squeaks and half-formed moans punctuating every flick of Rainbow’s tongue over the nipple in her mouth. She sucked on it lovingly, pulling her head back and tugging on it gently, before letting it go and earning a sharp gasp as it snapped back, glistening with saliva.
Then she switched targets to the otherside, once more drawing the nub into her mouth, but this time she wasn’t content to just lick and suck.
“Daaaaaaash!” Twilight cried as her nipple was rolled gently between the pegasus’s teeth. Her legs thrashed against the bed, overwhelmed by the strong sensation, made more intense by the blindfold.
Rainbow relented after a moment, her tongue coming in to caress where her teeth had been. She let go with one last, lingering kiss, before laying her head on the alicorn’s stomach and looking up at her blindfolded eyes. “You okay, Egghead?”
Twilight lifted her head to look down her barrel - not that it achieved much - her chest heaving with heavy breaths. “Y-yeah, yeah…” she trailed off, turning her head to the side as she added, quietly, “Y-you can keep going.”
“That’s good,” Rainbow said, kissing each of Twilight’s mounds before sliding off the bed entirely. “Because there’s more where that blindfold came from.”
“M-more?”
Rainbow’s smile deepened, hearing the sliver of excitement coming through more strongly. It seemed Twilight liked the first part. “Yeah, there’s more. But we gotta talk for a sec before we get there.”
“Talk?” Twilight asked, and she started to reach up to remove the blindfold before Rainbow smacked the hoof away with a wing.
“Nuh-uh, no cheating. It’s a surprise.” She dipped a hoof under the bed again, feeling around until she found the handle of the paper bag she’d gotten the blindfold from. It was pulled out and, looking inside it, she took a moment to breathe. As she did, she glanced over at the alicorn on her bed. Laying on her back, forelegs held to her chest adorably while her hindlegs were parted slightly, clear fluid dripping down and pooling on her tail. Even behind the mask, her needful expression was plainly visible.
“This is probably gonna sound a little weird,” Rainbow said slowly, pulling a length of rope out of the bag. “But I’m gonna ask you if you trust me.”
Twilight quirked her head, and Rainbow could see the eyebrow lifting behind it. “Trust you? Of course I do, why wouldn’t I?”
“No, I need you to listen, Twilight,” Rainbow stressed, her husky tone falling away, and the alicorn’s ears perked at the unusual use of her full name. “I’m gonna do something that might feel little… weird. Intense. I need to know that you trust me to take care of you, and keep you safe.”
“Safe?”
“Do you trust me to keep you safe, no matter what?” Rainbow asked firmly. She reached out, pressed a hoof down on Twilight’s belly and rubbed in small, gentle circles. “I promise, nothing bad is gonna happen, and I think you’ll really like it, but I need to know that you trust me to do it.”
There was a moment of apprehension, and Rainbow almost thought it was over, but then Twilight nodded. “I trust you, Dashie.”
Rainbow felt her heart swell at that, and had to fight back a blush. “Good. Second, I need to be able to trust you. I really want you to try, but if it’s too much, tell me. If something feels wrong, you need to tell me. Say the word, Twi, and everything stops. Can I trust you to do that?”
“Rainbow, you’re making this sound-”
“Sorry, but I gotta make sure. I promise it’s not gonna be anything bad.”
Slowly, Twilight nodded. “You can trust me.”
“Good. That’s good.” Rainbow looked down at the rope in her hooves. Ran it over her fur. Pulled it taught. “Roll over for me, Egghead,” she commanded, her voice growing deep and firm once more. “And raise your chest off the bed a bit.”
Twilight’s lower lip was pulled back between her teeth. “O-okay.”
Rainbow watched as she hesitated a moment - not from the instructions, but rather being careful not to roll off the bed without being able to see the edge. Eventually, when she was in the requested position, Rainbow stepped up onto the bed once more. Depressing the mattress and drawing Twilight’s attention to her. “Take a deep breath for me.”
Twilight sucked in a breath, inflating her chest.
Then froze, as a length of rope was looped under her barrel, over her wings. Rainbow saw it, and worked faster. The rope was twisted then looped around again, knotted and looped until a series of ropes were spread out over Twilight’s wings and chest. By time she was able to move again, her wings were thoroughly tied down by a lattice of knots that prevented any one spot from taking too much pressure.
“I-is that…” she trailed off, feeling her chest press against the rope with every breath. It was tight, not unbearably so, not enough to restrict her breathing, but enough so that she would always be aware of them.
“No pinching?” Rainbow asked, ignoring Twilight’s question entirely as she tugged experimentally on a few knots.
Twilight swallowed dryly. Licked her lips. Fluffed her wings but found them unable to move even that much. But, still… “N-no. No pinching.”
“Good.” Rainbow admired her work for a moment. Found she liked the way her knots looked pressed into lavender fur. “Give me your hooves.”
Again, there was a distinct moment of hesitation, and Rainbow frowned, but forced her voice to remain firm. “Hooves, Egghead. I can’t have you trying to take your blindfold off again.”
Twilight lowered herself back to the bed, and bent her hooves behind her back.
Rainbow nodded approvingly as she grabbed them, maneuvered them into position such that the lower half of each leg was pressed against the other half-way down her back, bent ninety-degrees at the elbow. “Hold there,” she ordered, as she reached back to grab another rope.
“R-rainbow, I d-don’t know about this, I-”
“Do you want me to stop?” Rainbow asked, and she leaned down to nuzzle the top of the alicorn’s head affectionately. “If you want me to stop, I’ll stop. But if you’re just nervous, I want you to try for me.”
Twilight was silent for a time. Longer than expected, and Rainbow worried it was too much. Reached down to begin the process of undoing her knots that she’d worked so hard to memorize, but then-
“I-I’ve read about this,” Twilight said, and Rainbow realized she’d not moved her hooves from where she’d been ordered to hold them. “B-bondage, facilitates a literal transfer of power, o-of control, from one partner to the other.”
She was comforting herself again, which meant… “Are you okay with that, Egghead?” Rainbow asked, directly into Twilight’s ear. “Are you okay with me taking control? Just for tonight? I promise I’ll take care of you.”
A shuddering breath. But not a ‘no’. Not a ‘yes’ either.
“I need you to answer me, Egg-”
“Do it.”
Rainbow tilted her head just enough to plant a kiss on her cheek before pulling back and getting to work. Twilight’s hooves were wrapped in a series of loops knotted together, then a length of rope bridged the gap between her upper legs so trying to pull them apart was useless. Lastly, her forelegs were tied to the rope already criss-crossing her back.
“You’re being a very good girl for me,” Rainbow crooned, reaching back with a wing to rub Twilight’s flank affectionately. “How are you feeling?”
“Weird,” Twilight said, struggling for a moment against the knots. Not to escape, but to test her limits. They held fast, and she couldn’t do much more than shift her forelegs back and forth slightly. “Not bad weird,” she clarified. “Just… weird.”
Rainbow nodded approvingly, standing up and stepping off the alicorn. “Just relax, Egghead. I’ll take care of everything. No need for you to do anything but lay there and enjoy it.”
“O-okay.”
Another rope, and Rainbow turned her attention to Twilight’s hind legs. She rolled her onto her side, grabbed them and pressed them together, tied them just above the knees, then-
“Ah! Th-that one’s pinching!”
Rainbow quickly loosened her knot, and found where the mistake had occurred. She shifted the rope so it released the skin, leaned down and kissed the tender spot, then tightened everything back up. “Better?”
“Y-yeah.”
Cursing herself silently for the slip up, Rainbow didn’t respond, focusing on making sure the rest of the ties were proper. A loop around the ankles, attached to the loop around the thighs and tightened to bring them as close together as possible, then tied to the harness around the chest to pull the legs up towards her belly.
She watched as Twilight’s breathing picked up slightly. Not enough to be concerning, but she kept an eye on it as she went over all her knots, made sure they were all tight enough to restrict movement, but loose enough not to hurt or cause problems. When she was sure there were no mistakes, no loose knots or improper loops, she allowed herself a moment to breathe, and properly take in her work.
Twilight was laid on her side, hooves bound behind her back. Wings tied down. Hind legs roped together and pulled up towards her chest, leaving her rear wide open, covered only by her tail.
And soon, not even that, as Rainbow grabbed a black silk ribbon and wrapped it around her dock, winding it a few inches up Twilight’s tail then tying it to the chest harness, forcing her tail to flag up as high as it could go.
At last, her job was done, and Rainbow wiped the sweat from her brow. “There we go,” she said, doing her best to mask how much physical effort it had taken, as well as her own growing arousal. “Nice and wrapped up for me like a hearth’s warming present.” And what a present it was. Seeing her like this, tied up and exposed. Vulnerable. Rainbow licked her lips, realizing she was grinding her thighs together as she felt the heat building between her own legs. The teasing earlier had been a turn on, but this was something else entirely. Something she found herself liking. “My rope looks good on you,” she breathed huskily.
Once more, Twilight struggled against the knots, and found even less mobility than before. She rocked her weight side to side, trying to muster enough force to roll over, but found herself incapable of even that. Incapable of anything at all, as a matter of fact. Rainbow watched her closely, saw the spike in her breathing, and quickly reached out, placing a hoof on her side and rubbing up and down gently along her ribs. “You’re okay,” she said. “I’m right here.”
“R-rainbow, I…” she trailed off, and Rainbow waited with baited breath to hear the verdict. Was it too much for the first time? Was it too much in general? But the longer the pause went, the more she realized Twilight wasn't even sure herself. Needed a push in the right direction.
“Good girl,” Rainbow purred, laying down so her side was pressed into Twilight’s back. She pressed her muzzle into the alicorn’s neck, kissing and nibbling and whispering in her ear, “You’re my good girl, aren’t you? How does it feel to know you’re mine?”
“Y-yours?” Twilight echoed, and her breathing calmed somewhat.
Rainbow turned over so they were spooning, reaching a hoof over Twilight to hug her to her chest. “All mine, and there’s nothing you can do about it. But that’s okay, isn’t it? It’s okay to let go, and be mine.”
Twilight shivered as she felt Rainbow’s breath in her ear. The blindfold had taken full effect, heightening her other senses, which served to make the ropes against her skin stand out that much more. “Yours,” she said again, this time as a statement.
“That’s right. My beautiful Egghead. Don’t need to worry about anything, just let me take care of you.”
“Beautiful?”
Rainbow scoffed. “That’s what I said. Beautiful.”
“I-I’m not, really,” Twilight argued, feeling a blush creeping onto her face.
“Hey, which one of us is wearing the blindfold?”
“I am?”
“And which one of us can see?” Rainbow asked pointedly. Her wing reached out, her feathers starting to run in long, teasing strokes from Twilight’s flank, up her side, her neck, right to her jaw, then back down. Up again.
“You can,” Twilight conceded quietly. Felt Rainbow nod against the back of her neck.
“So it doesn’t really make sense for you to argue with me, right? I can see, and I’m telling you you’re beautiful. You can’t see, so how would you even know if I was wrong?”
“Th-that… I know-”
“You don’t know. And because you trust me, you know I’m telling you the truth, don’t you?”
Twilight took a moment to swallow that statement. When she did, she didn’t answer verbally, instead opting to nod her head slowly.
“So what does that mean?”
“I-I’m… beautiful?” Twilight asked uncertainly.
“Good girl,” Rainbow whispered, underscoring the praise with a sharp nip on the very tip of her ear. “And because you’ve been such a good girl for me tonight, I’ve got one more thing for you.”
Twilight sucked in a breath, and she didn’t know if it was apprehension or excitement at the prospect. “More?” She squeaked out. She felt Rainbow leave her, and it was cold without the pegasus pressed to her back. Heard her dig through something, then come around to the side of the bed where her head was.
“One more. Are you ready?”
Twilight flexed against the ropes. Couldn’t move. Fully at the mercy of her lover.
But she did want to be a good girl.
“Go ahead,” she said, and felt herself smile.
Opening a small, black box, Rainbow pulled out a metallic band - a ring, the exact right size to fight around Twilight’s horn.
Twilight realized what it was the second it passed over the tip of her horn. “Rainbow-”
But it was too late. The magic inhibitor had been slid down to the base of her horn, nestled snugly in her mane. And suddenly, she was cut off from her magic. Not just her magic, but the ability to feel the magic around her. Her last lifeline - the knowledge that no matter what happened, she had the power to stop it with a spell or two.
That last thing that tethered her to her sense control was severed in an instant.
Rainbow chewed her lip anxiously, watching the alicorn process what had just happened. A few, tense moments passed, as she waited to see the increased breathing of a panic attack, or a thrashing, desperate attempt to escape.
Instead of any of that, she watched in almost disbelief as Twilight all but went slack, fully relaxing into her bindings.
“Good girl,” she praised enthusiastically, actually petting Twilight on the head.
Twilight craned her neck up into the affectionate gesture. A part of her - tiny and small and tied up so far back in her mind it was hardly there at all - screamed at her that she shouldn't be enjoying this. That she was an alicorn princess, that she should be terrified of having her magic taken away.
The rest of her was reveling in the total loss of control to a pony she trusted her entire life with. Here she was, tied up in Rainbow Dash’s bed, blindfolded and with her magic taken away from her, getting praised like… like a dog. And she loved it. The fire in her loins that had continued to smolder during her binding blazed to life ten fold, and she tried to rub her thighs together to sate it. Found she could barely even do that, and it just made it hotter.
“Isn’t this so much better,” Rainbow asked, circling around her bound marefriend like a predator. “Just let me do the thinking, and you can lay there and do the listening. No thoughts, no worries, just letting me do whatever I want with you. Because you are mine,” she said again. Firmed, this time. The authority in her voice brokering no argument, no doubt about her position.
Twilight gasped as Rainbow’s wing pressed into her slit again. “Yours,” she said, and was rewarded by a delicate kiss on her tight, pink nub. “I’m yours,” she repeated, craving more. And she got more - Rainbow’s tongue buried itself in her folds, and she moaned as the feather moved to her love button.
Her legs pulled against the ropes, breaking free so far from her mind she didn’t even consider the possibility, but rather just because she couldn’t hold still. Was forced to anyway, as pulling on one rope only served to tighten another. Never so tight it hurt; the knots were tied far too expertly for that. Any force she put into it spread out over the whole of her bindings. She wondered, for a moment, where Rainbow had learned this.
Wondered what else the pegasus had learned. Licked her lips and found them dry, but not from nerves.
“You’ve gotten quiet, Egghead,” Rainbow called, and Twilight remembered that she wasn’t supposed to be thinking. “Is this not enough for you?” Rainbow licked her lips, wet with her alicorn’s flavour.
Twilight opened her mouth to say something, but all that came out was a quiet, disappointed moan as she felt Rainbow’s touch leave her once again. Squirmed and wriggled as best she could, worming her way towards where she heard the pegasus’s voice one pitiful inch at a time but never making it far enough.
Seeing this, Rainbow smirked, reaching out and rubbing a hoof over Twilight’s flank. “Don’t worry, there’s plenty more where that came from. I’ve just gotta get ready, first.” She let her cryptic response hang in the air, reaching one last time into her bag of tricks. Made sure to make lots of noise for her blindfolded prey. Admired the shiver of anticipation she could see run up her spine, then looked down to the black semi-gloss silicone in her hoof.
Unlike the rest of the set up, it was something Twilight would be more familiar with, having been pulled from their own small collection. She had a feeling that collection wouldn’t be remaining so small after tonight.
It took a moment - longer than she would have liked - to fiddle with the straps and buckles. But every noise she made visibly heightened Twilight’s anticipation, so she couldn’t complain. A few times she caught herself distracted, merely enjoying watching the alicorn’s squirming.
Eventually, the strap-on was firmly attached, the inside of the harness pressing against her own wetness, and she stepped back up to the bed. “So, Egghead,” she started, letting her hooves roam freely over Twilight’s flank. Her tail held up and out of the way, giving Dash more than full access to touch and rub and massage wherever she desired. And she desired all of it. All of her. “Are you ready?”
“Yes!” Twilight cried. She didn’t even know what it was, but she knew she wanted it. Knew she didn’t have to think about it, because Rainbow was doing that for her. “Dashie, please.”
The need in her voice was delicious, but the time for teasing was over. Rainbow lined herself up and brought the head of her artificial stallionhood up to where it was needed most. Pressed against the flushed lips between Twilight's legs and felt the mare go tense, then relax as she recognized what it was.
Then she moaned, long and rolling and punctuated by a gasp as she was spread open. Wet as she was, it didn’t take much force. It was slow, at first, and gentle. Rainbow rocked back and forth, letting her adjust to the size, the feeling, heightened again by the blindfold and the ropes and the… the everything. But it wasn't long before that moan ended, and Rainbow pushed deeper in to hear another.
And another.
And another.
Her pace was set by the noises Twilight made. Each new inch inside her changed the pitch, the volume, the shape of the cry. And Rainbow drank all of it in, studied it. She’d been with Twilight long enough to know the right spots, the right angles, but never before had she heard the notes so clearly. There was no attempt to hide them, to restrain them; Twilight let them flow freely from her mouth, because this time she couldn’t control them.
Couldn’t control anything anymore.
She spasmed slightly as Dash hilted the toy inside her. Her muscles flexing haphazardly, trying to drag it in deeper. But even that control was stripped from her as she felt the length pull back, sliding out from her folds despite their vice-like grip. She whimpered, high-pitched and soaked in her desperation just as much as the faux cock was. Then, a squeal of joy as she was filled again, and she pulled against her bonds in an attempt to… to something. A reflex, maybe. Some primal part of her fighting back, maybe.
But then she felt the ropes tighten against her. Felt the knots holding fast. And cried out as she realized that was exactly what she’d wanted to feel.
Rainbow paused at the cry. “Egghead?”
“No!” Twilight shouted, shaking her head, rocking her weight back into the pegasus as much as she could. “Don’t stop! Please don’t stop!”
Rainbow didn’t see a reason to deny the request, but she needed more leverage. Still fully hilted, she grabbed Twilight’s legs and pulled them up.
Twilight squealed as she felt herself rotating around the silicone length still buried inside her, at the sensation of being handled like an object. And there was nothing she could do to stop it as she ended up on her back, forelegs bound tightly beneath her and her hooves sticking up in the air. She felt Rainbow hug them to her chest, use them for support as she pulled out then slammed back inside. The force of the thrust sent a shockwave through Twilight’s bound body that was heard as a slight vibrato in her near-constant moaning.
And then Rainbow started moving in earnest. She leaned her head to look around Twilight’s legs, watching her face carefully. Her slackened jaw, singing her pleasure shamelessly. Her blindfolded eyes staring at nothing. Rainbow grunted, the inside of the harness pressing and rubbing against her with every thrust. Her own marehood, sorely neglected, felt as though it would catch fire at the sudden stimulation. But her focus was far from her pleasure.
She looked to the exposed lavender hooves in front of her, deciding to make full use of the position. She kissed her ankles, parting her lips to let her teeth press into the outline of bone. Sending little tingles of pleasure down Twilight’s legs that served only to highlight the shocks running through her from every room-filling smack of Rainbow’s hips against her flanks. Forming a harmony with her cries and moans of pleasure that grew in fervor with every thrust. Rainbow could feel the resistance on every stroke as Twilight clamped down against the rubber toy. Knew it wouldn’t be long, now.
And it wasn’t. Twilight could feel it building, like so many times before. But unlike every other time, she didn’t feel herself hit a wall. It just kept growing, deep in her core, a tension that wound tighter with every thrust. Every pull against a rope reminding her to just let go. Enjoy it.
“Dashie-” she called out, throwing her head from side to side as she felt the damn start to overflow. “Dashie, I-”
“Cum for me, Twi,” Rainbow said.
Twilight came. Hard. She pressed her chin down into her chest and screamed as she felt the release of a month’s worth of tension all at once, white hot and burning a trail from her pussy, up her spine into her brain. A tidal wave of pleasure that seemed to make her see explosions of light despite the blindfold. Then her scream became a wail of boundless pleasure as Rainbow kept thrusting. Her walls clenching and spasming against the artificial cock as it slammed into her over, and over, and over again. She writhed against her bonds, and the restriction only made her climax stronger, and longer, her abdomen convulsing. A gush of her fluids splashed against Rainbow’s pelvis, dripping down into the sheets. She’d be embarrassed by the display eventually, but for now the intensity of it all had washed the thoughts - the capability of thought from her mind.
“Good girl,” Rainbow praised, her own lips parted as she panted from the effort. Her other lips burning with need, but for now, ignored.
The words filled Twilight’s head in place of her own ability to think. She had been a good girl, hadn’t she? Little aftershocks of pleasure shot through her nerves, her muscles twitching, occasionally, but always finding the rope holding her still. Controlling her. Keeping her safe.
Rainbow held still as she watched her come down from her orgasmic high, chest filled with pride.
But her loins burned with an unstated need. Heightened by the feeling of Twilight’s marecum running down her legs and seeping into the harness. Slowly, she pulled out, watching as Twilight’s shivered and bucked, clenching down on the empty space left behind unconsciously. She let go of her legs, and watched as they drooped to the side slightly, but the ropes held them up.
Wordlessly, she clambered onto the bed, using her wings to aid her balance as she crawled over the near-catatonic alicorn.
Twilight was pulled out of her orgasmic haze as she felt something press against either side of her head. Felt the humid heat of something hovering just above her face. Something wet dripped on her cheek. Her mind was still far away and covered in fog, but her body knew what was happening, and her mouth opened to accept the task she’d been assigned
“Oooh,” Rainbow sighed as she felt Twilight’s tongue against her sopping snatch. She put more of her weight down, grinding herself into Twilight’s jaw. “Now that’s a very good girl.”
Something close to an electric shock ran through Twilight at those words, her tongue working almost on auto-pilot as she performed the familiar action of eating out her marefriend. Even blindfolded, as she was, she knew exactly which patches of spongy flesh to press against to get the best reaction.
And after everything else, Rainbow didn’t need much. She could already feel the edge approaching as she bucked her hips slightly, smearing her juices along Twilight’s entire muzzle. She reached down to grab the alicorn’s horn, and earned a shriek directly into her pussy for it. Twilight’s horn was always extra-sensitive after cumming. And Rainbow used it to her full advantage, using it both as a handle to mash Twilight’s face up into her cunt, while also stroking its length and feeling the alicorn thrashing beneath her from the over-stimulation.
By time Rainbow felt herself crossing over the line, Twilight had gotten back to her own peak, and as she felt Rainbow’s cum splash against her face - tasted it on her tongue, filling her mouth and forcing her to swallow her essence, Twilight came again. Not as hard as before, but the hoof on her horn sent lancing shocks of pleasure straight into her brain that made her pussy pulse and clench at nothing.
They both rode their highs for what could have been mere seconds, minutes, or hours as far as they could tell, but eventually, Rainbow fell to the side, and Twilight gasped for breath as her mouth was freed. For a few, long moments, neither spoke. Neither moved. The only sound in the room their shared panting, and in their own ears, their thundering heartbreaths, slowing gradually.
Slowly, Rainbow sat up, took a long, hard look at the disheveled state of her bound lover, and smiled tiredly. She didn’t say anything as she crawled over and removed the blindfold, making sure that the first thing she saw was the same as the last, admiring how wide her pupils were before leaning down and joining their lips in a kiss. She could taste herself on Twilight’s tongue, and it only drove her to deepen their kiss. Pushed her tongue into her mouth, claiming the territory for herself. And Twilight let her. No, more than that - Twilight gave it to her, willingly and happily. Such that even when their kiss ended, there was no mistaking who it belonged to.
Looking into her eyes, Rainbow smiled, reaching up and cupping her cheek with a hoof. “So,” she started quietly. “Am I the best marefriend or what?”
Twilight pinched her lips close to stop a chuckle, but only managed to turn it into a mirthful snort.
Rainbow rolled her eyes, dipping back down for a quicker peck. “Alright, Egghead, I get it. Wrong time, wrong place,” she said, and her muzzle found Twilight’s ear to add in a whisper, “I love you.”
“I love you too, Dashie,” Twilight said, then bit her lip. “Um, but my legs are starting to go numb, so-”
“Oh shoot!” Rainbow shouted, turning to see the alicorn’s legs still lifted into the air. She quickly rolled her onto her side, and began the slow process of undoing her knots one at a time. Saw marks and the beginning of bruising as she went and winced sympathetically. Kissed the worst of them tenderly as though in apology. Felt her gut twist in knots at the thought of hurting her love.
Twilight smiled, watching her work. As each loop of rope came free, she felt herself coming back. Her hind legs, forelegs, then her wings and tail. With each limb she felt her control returning, felt herself returning. Blushed at the memories fresh in her mind. The things she’d said, what had been said to her.
Lastly, Rainbow reached for the ring over her horn, and as Twilight’s magic came back, she was forced to admit that she was Twilight Sparkle, the Alicorn Princess once more.
“I’m sorry,” Rainbow said suddenly, looking at the rope in her hooves.
“Why?”
Rainbow pointed out a particularly dark bruise on Twilight’s forearm. “It must have hurt,” she explained. “It wasn’t supposed to hurt. I screwed something up.”
“No, not at all,” Twilight said quickly, shaking her head. “It didn’t hurt. You were perfect, that’s just from me pulling too hard. If it had, I would have told you. Promise.”
Rainbow chewed her lip, looking between the earnest expression on Twilight’s face and the bruises on her body. True, they were all minor. More marks than bruises - no worse than the bite marks she loved to leave behind. And, in a way, they were the same, weren’t they? Symbolized the same thing. Gradually, she relented. “If you’re sure,” she said, looking them over again as Twilight nodded firmly. Thought of them as evidence of their act, of their love, and if Twilight was okay with them…
She actually kind of liked how they looked.
“So… how was it?” She asked, before allowing herself to continue too far down that line of thought.
“It was…” Twilight trailed off. She hadn’t considered that. Hadn’t thought about whether she'd enjoyed it. Not that she had to - the results spoke for themselves. What caught her, made her hesitate, was just how much she liked it. She wasn’t sure if there were words to accurately describe her feelings on the matter. Which was an impressive feat, given how many words she knew.
“Twi?”
She shook herself, realizing she did need to give some kind of answer. Opened her mouth and just let whatever thought came forward spill out of her lips. “Rainbow, I.. that was amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever orgasmed that hard in my life, never mind that I… I actually managed to climax at all. How… how did you know that would work? And where did you even learn to do that?”
Rainbow chuckled awkwardly, averting her eyes even as she laid down next to her lover. “Um… don’t be mad, but… I kinda talked to Cadence,” she admitted in a small, timid voice. Completely at odds with the tone she’d previously kept up. She winced, bracing for a lecture.
“I should have known,” Twilight sighed. Her head rolled to the side to look at the pegasus. “I suppose I can’t be too mad, since it did work, and you did do it for me, but…” she shuddered. “I don’t know how I feel about my sister-in-law knowing we did this.”
“Honestly, I want to ask Pinkie to help me throw a party for her,” Rainbow said, a chuckle carried on her breath. “I didn’t know what I was gonna do.”
“Rainbow…” Twilight sighed, then gasped as she found herself wrapped in a pair of cyan hooves and dragged against a warm chest. The side of her face was peppered with butterfly-light kisses and little licks between.
“Just be happy with me, Twi,” she said between pecks.
Twilight giggled at the semi-ticklish sensation, nodding her head. “Okay, okay, I get it, I’m glad you talked to her.” The assault ended, and she relaxed into Rainbow’s hooves. “That really was amazing, Rainbow. Thank you for doing that for me.”
“For you? Twi, I thought that was super hot,” Rainbow said enthusiastically. “Like, yeah, I did it for you, but don’t think for a minute I didn’t enjoy it. ‘Cuz I did. A lot.”
“Well then,” Twilight started, rolling over so they were face to face, a devious little smirk on her lips. “It sounds to me like you should definitely hang on to that rope.”
Rainbow matched her smile. “I’ll tie you up any time, Egghead.”

Welp, that's a thing. I had a lot of fun with this one, and I hope you did too. I tried to make this a very romantic piece, more so than just smut for the sake of smut, and hopefully that came through. Let me know how I did in the box below, yeah?
There's already a sequel in the works.
