12 Small progressions and other things

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It had been a while since Moondancer's first visit to the club, and like the pegasus, she had become a regular now! Sometimes they came together, sometimes alone. Though while Fluttershy enjoyed the club for its normal business as well as the other... benefits, Moondancer's preferences were with the carnal. Where Shy had needed convincing, she jumped at the call to indulge her desires in anonymity! Whenever Rarity brought in a new, slutty design for the club, and the nerdy unicorn was at the club, she jumped at the chance to try it on, and considering the things she was willing to do, it was unlikely she'd rat them out! She was having far too much fun, and she surely didn't want her friends and colleagues to find out how much of a depraved whore she really was... After all, if it came out, even became public knowledge, not only would her image be ruined! Any crook who found out about it might be able to bend her to his whims just by dangling his cock in her face! Figuratively... and literally... Which would put into question all the cases she had worked on...

On the club side, the Mare's Night had been a great success, though Rumble still groaned every now and then. Despite the groaning, however, they all knew he had enjoyed it more than he wanted to let on.

Meanwhile, after some time of negotiations and preparations, the contract with that little bakery, Sugarcube Corner, that Spike had found, was nearing its finalization! In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, the owners, were in his office to put pen to paper right now! Starlight had worked out a contract that was good for both sides, and Sunset already had made some preparations to fit a small kitchen into one of the rooms in the back!

For the most part, they'd just use pre-made, frozen stuff from the bakery, but some things would be, more or less, fresh. Pizza, for example. Pinkie Pie, who was there with them, was going to teach some of the club's stuff how to everything! And, when she had the time, she would put in some shifts herself! Payed for by Spike, of course. This would allow Pinkie to make some extra money, helping both her and her sister, as well as have some fun! Over the last few weeks, she had told Spike how much she liked to party, but she didn't get the chance as often as she'd like to. Well, with her getting into the club with no problem from now on...

And the pink pony would bring even more to the table! She liked to party, yes, but even more: She, apparently, was at the very least competent as a planner! On a commission base, she would organize events for the club! At first alongside Sunset Shimmer, but if she proved herself as capable as she appeared, maybe even on her own! Heck! If she proved herself well enough, maybe they'd offer her a proper place in their group!

Pinkie Pie was already making some plans for a small test party! She would throw throw a few of them, advertised some time before, and mainly a sort of special event for the evening, until she settled in well enough. In time, her first big challenge would be Tartarus' first ever Nightmare Night party, which, if they got lucky, would be attended by some of Manehattan's most famous citizens! Maybe even Mayor Celestia and her sister, after Spike had met Luna at Filthy Rich's party! Maybe even Filthy Rich himself, Diamond Tiara would probably try to convince her dad...

Pinkie Pie meanwhile was sitting at the bar and chatting with Lillie Lace, Button Mash, Holly Dash, another one of the dancers/servers and Double Diamond. “So... you work at a bakery?” Holly asked her. “Anything special you do?”

“Pies, cakes, eclairs, croissants, bread, pretzels, buns... basically everything!” The bubbly baker gave them a wink. “You should really come over at some point! Maybe after closing time? Have a nice breakfast? Spike had the idea with this collaboration for a reason!”

Diamond had to admit: “Honestly? Not a bad idea! Once the night's over, I'm usually starving...”

“What would you suggest for a breakfast?” Lillie asked, herself curious. Honestly? She did hope it wouldn't be a lengthy list of tantalizing treats... She didn't need to get hungry now!

“She's right. If we're going to work together in future,” Feather Bangs figured as he and Rumble joined them, “we should know about that sorta stuff!”

An impish grin crept on Pinkie's face, as she began to mention a few things... “I like cream pies the most! But I also think that licking out a hone ypot can be very tasty!” When she mentioned cream pies and honey pots, she gave her body a little jiggle.

The four stared at each other in confusion! Cream pies and honeypots for breakfast? “Wait a moment!” Holly's mind finally worked the implications out! “Are you suggesting...?” All of them were more than accustomed to this sort of behavior, but her doing it like that, right now, was a bit of a surprise... But also, especially after seeing her boobs jiggle, the others had to admit: she was plump in all the right places! And she'd probably a lot of fun to knead...

“Maybe~...” Pinkie teased as she turned around! Bending over slightly, causing her skirt to rise up a little, she continued: “Wanna grab mybuns?”

The group blinked for a moment... When Derpy joined them and gave Pinkie's ass a squeeze! “Sure! Though I prefer muffins!” The ditzy pegasus teased! “Dinky's having a sleepover at a friend's place tonight, and I would like to get some relief...”

“Somepony who knows what she wants!” Pinkie Pie cheered, turning back again and offering her hand! “Hi! I'm Pinkie! And you are?”

“Derpy Hooves!”

“I guess we just didn't expect you to come in here and offer us to rail you!” Button laughed! Too bad Rumble wasn't on duty tonight! His friend would've enjoyed this... “Most ponies open up slowly!”

“I'm a very open pony!” Pinkie Pie laughed! That much had been obvious. “And I love to party, maybe Spike told you already? He wants me to, maybe, organize some parties at the club! And you know what happens when you party hard, maybe had a few drinks, and other things to make the music hit harder... And I've heard stories about this place!”

Spike, Tempest, Sunset, Starlight and the Cakes left the office, the contract freshly signed! As the Cakes, Tempest and Sunset went downstairs to have a celebratory drink – the bar downstairs had a much bigger selection than the one in Spike's and Tempest's office - the dragon leaned over the railing and saw the hands of Derpy and Double Diamond on Pinkie's fat ass. He watched as tbhey moved to the back. “Damn it...” Spike grumbled. “I wanted to be the first to get his claws on her!”

He turned his head when he heard a familiar laugh! Applejack, who had, as so often, stood guard next to the entrance had overheard him! “Come on, boss! Let them have their fun!”

“Yeah!” The voice of Apple Bloom joined in, as she and her friends followed behind her older sister! “You got us! And DT and Silver Spoon!”

“And my sister!” Sugar Belle agreed, looking down at the small group at the bar.

Scootaloo, also looking down, added: “And you can still fuck her some other time!”

Down at the bar, Tempest looked surprised. “Hey! Where did everypony go?!”

“No idea...” Sunset sighed. “Well, I can mix a drink well enough... And once they are back, I can still chew them out!”

“On that topic... what about you three?” Spike turned the topic around on the CMC! “And, by extension, our dear guests...

“Let's just say Button and Rumble happened on us...” Apple Bloom giggled adorably.

“Or...” Sweetie corrected, “in us!”

“And maybe we gave Flash a good time...” The young pegasus shrugged.

“And DD and Feather...” Bloom chuckled.

“And then there was that time with Fleur and Zecora...”

“And Fluttershy and Cloud Chaser...” Scootaloo noted.

“And-...” Apple Bloom had been just about to mention something that had happened a few nights ago... Big Mac had gotten a little bit tipsy, or maybe rather flat out drunk, which took a lot, and the three had used that... It might have been not their best decision, and it still hurt a little... Not to mention that some might object to incest...

“Enough!” Laughing, Spike interrupted them! “You're having fun, we get it!”

Applejack shook her head! “The moment you get OK, you're jumping on the opportunity to fuck everypony?” She sounded disapproving, but couldn't hide a little smile. Her sister was blooming quickly. Pun not intended.

The younger Apple shrugged, her expression becoming a little smug: “Yeah. And we ain't stopping!” She got an idea... “Say, AJ... ever thought about having some lucky stud have a threesome with two Apple sisters?”

Spike's ears perked up! That was an idea that should be followed up upon. Maybe with Rarity and Sweetie Belle... But they'd need to find a fitting partner for Scootaloo... Well, better to move the topic along before AJ might get angry by such suggestions! “By the way, why are you three here? I thought you had the night off!”

Applejack took it upon herself to answer: “I'm taking the young'uns to a monster truck show later this evening!”

“Hmm... Sounds entertaining! Have fun!”

“You know,-” Bloom grabbed the dragon's left arm and pressed it against her chest, “-we still have one ticket left, if you want...

“Originally, we wanted to take Gabby along!” AJ explained, “But she's on duty this evening and didn't want to swap shifts.”

“Yes! Please come with us!” Sweetie copied what her friend was doing with Spike's other arm!

And Scootaloo added by playing extra cute: “Pwease!”

“When are we leaving?” Spike sighed, realizing he wouldn't win against the three, probably four judging by AJ's amused expression. There wasn't much planned for the evening anyway, and Tempest and Sunset were more than able to deal with that stuff...

“In about an hour, maybe an hour and a half.” Applejack shrugged.

“Enough time to get some work in then. If you see Big Mac, send him up, please!”

When Pinkie and the others left the backroom, very satisfied, the baker and party mare had one major thing on her mind: She had to get Maude here at some point... Her sister could use some loosening up!

About an hour later, Spike had worked his way through some paperwork and given Big Mac some tasks. There was a new gang trying to muscle in on their territory. He was to take Cloud Chaser and some of the other muscle and send them a message. Scared, not dead, if possible. Then, they'd have to pay a visit to a store that was, apparently, considering to renegade on their arrangements, possibly because of pressure from other gangs, or because the owner was a stubborn, annoying old codger who didn't see the advantages it brought for him.

Mac would remind him, and leave. If some other gang showed up to wreck that guy's shit, it wasn't their problem. They would offer to protect him again, but for more money than before!

Zecora reported that her newest batch of product had been finished and was awaiting pick-up from their... partners.

All in all, everything seemed to be doing well! It was just... fairly boring. Though that was about to change! Spike looked up as he heard a knock at the door! “Yes! Come in!”

It was Rarity! And she was carrying a bag... “Spike, I've got a present for you!” She pulled a small chest out of the bag and laid it on his desk. “Open it, please!”

The dragon did. Inside of the black chest, in a nest of red velvet, he found something that looked suspiciously like a dog collar. “Thanks, I guess? Though that's not really my style!”

“You foolish dragon, you!” The white unicorn laughed! “Darling, I don't want YOU to wear it! I will wear it FOR you!” She snatched the collar out of the chest and placed it around her neck, the black leather contrasting with her fur! A heart-shaped pedant slipped into sight, hidden under the collar when it had lain inside its packaging. It read 'Spike's'.

“It's enchanted,” she explained. “Snap your finger, please.”

He did.

“Spike's” changed to “Spike's Pet.” After another snap it became “Spike's Slut”. Then “Spike's Toy,” “Spike's Fucktoy,” and finally “Spike's Cum Dump.”

Spike chuckled! “I think I prefer 'pet', for now. Does it always switch when I snap or...”

“No, you can fix it by running your thumb down the back of the pedant!” She told him! “It's not all, by the way!” Then, Rarity pulled a leash out of her bag and let it snap into the collar. She handed it over to Spike.

For a moment, he just stared at the leash. A smile started to spread across his muzzle and then he slowly started to pull her closer and closer. When she had reached him, and was staring at his crotch, Spike gave her another tug! When they were nearly muzzle to muzzle, he stopped and stared into her eyes. Then, one final tug and their lips met, and Rarity let one of her dress halters slip down.

As they were engrossed in their kiss, the office door opened and two mares entered! Octavia Melody, and DJ Pon-3 had come to pay a visit!

“Hey, Octavia! Hey, Vinyl!” He smiled a little when he saw the DJ's face darken a tiny bit. He knew that she preferred to be called by her stage name by most, especially when in front of ponies that didn't know her real name. But Spike couldn't help himself! After all, he and the others knew her since before she became one of the most popular DJ's in Manehattan, or even all of Equestria! For them, she'd always be Vinyl Scratch! And she knew that. With the gang, she played up the displeasure. They had permission to call her that!

Octavia took a close look at Rarity's neck! “Nice collar, Rarity!”

“Yours isn't bad either, Octavia!” Rarity replied, noticing that the grey earth pony also was wearing a collar with an engraved pendant!

“Thanks! Vinyl gave it to me for our anniversary last week. I took her out for dinner, and she gave me this...”

“What does the engraving stand for?” Spike wondered. “'P3P'?”

“Pon-3's Pet!” The DJ grinned, running a hand up her girlfriend's thigh! Octavia always whimpered so nicely when she got aroused... “Wanna bang before we get to work?” The usually laconic unicorn cut straight to the point.

But in that moment, Spike's phone rang. He checked it. Applejack was notifying him that they were leaving in a few minutes and that he should get moving. He sighed. “I'd love to, but I'm going with Applejack and the Crusaders this evening.”

“Oooh...” Octavia sounded as disappointed as her lover looked! “Maybe some other time, then?”

Her girlfriend went a step further: “Or maybe a big fuck session like in the old days?”

“Maybe we can arrange something!” Spike admitted as he slipped into his jacket and gave Rarity a parting kiss! “We'll see! Have a nice evening! Maybe you'll find a cute stallion to rut you during your show!”

A few moments after the door closed behind Spike, Vinyl turned to the other unicon. “Hey! Rarity! Up for a threesome?”

She grinned and let the other halter slip down.

Spike met Applejack and the Cutie Mark Crusaders outside. “You know...,” She told Spike as she lead them all to her pick-up truck, “I still think we should have a fighting pit! Maybe in one of the still empty floors downstairs! If you want it to have some sex to it, it could be nude fighting. Maybe the winner gets to fuck the looser...”

“Can you please talk about that stuff when we're in private?” Her boss grumbled! “No need for anypony to listen in on that shit! But I will suggest it to Tempest and Sunset.”

AJ chuckled to herself. After a few minutes, she told them: “The car's around the corner!”

Immediately, the Crusaders rushed ahead! And when Spike and Applejack reached said corner, they heard Apple Bloom call out “Shotgun!”

“Shotgun!” Scootaloo called out just a second too late! “Fuck!”

That meant that Apple Bloom was the co-driver next to her sister, and Spike, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were in the backseats. It ended up working out fine for the two mares, however, since they were in the back with Spike!

When Apple Bloom noticed that they were making out with Spike, she was rather annoyed! “Hey!”

“Sorry, Bloom!” Sweetie told her uncharacteristically smug! “It's really unlucky that you got to drive shotgun, instead of with Spike!”

Later this evening, Manehattan harbor.

Sombra was spending the evening on his yacht in the Manehattan's harbor. The 'Crystal Empire' was 465 feet from bow to stern! It wasn't his biggest, or most luxurious yacht either, but it held a special place in his heart. After all, it had been the first yacht he'd bought after he'd made it.

Radiant Hope aside, he was attended by seven stunning females. All of them were clad in very expensive, and yet extremely skimpy, dresses, courtesy of Suri, as they served his whims. All his whims!

A Griffon, a hippogriff, a kirin and a pegasus, who were taking care of his needs, combing his mane, massaging his shoulders, manicuring and so on. A zebra and a saddle-arabian pony were kneeling below his desk and taking care of his other needs, while a dragoness came and delivered a new glass of wine alongside of some assorted snacks to him.

Radiant aside, he probably enjoyed the feisty dragoness, Cinder or something like that, the most. Had some real fire to her, pun intended, but once he got going, she turned to mush. It was always a fun experience. Of course, he had more than those seven. But they were trained to work on ships, so they were his go to on his yachts.

Right now is looking over some financial reports. From both, his legal and illegal businesses. It might seem very stupid to do so, surrounded by so many ponies, and that wasn't including Sans Smirk, who was in the city, taking care of any business related calls during Sombra's short rest. But all seven of them had been well trained to be his servants. They'd been scooped up, used as guinea pigs for his projects, and when they had shown promise, he'd taken them as his personal servants! They'd even been trained as bodyguards, and they were, if they had to act, very deadly.

Sombra let out a dark chuckle as he saw the figures from one of his newer projects... He had, of course taking precautions that none of it could be connected to him, or his company, bought an old cargo ship. A very big one. In a less law-abiding region, he had it overhauled and refitted Into a floating pleasure palace! The deck was lined with gambling dens and brothels, and the bridge tower had been converted into a replica of the Crystal Empire's castle. There, an arena was set up, hosting fighting tournaments. At times to the death. Cabaret clubs, a boutique of the highest quality... Everything was taken care off.

If you had the money, you could fulfill your most debased desires there. And those that fell into debt and can't pay... Were made into the same slaves they had used and abused before.

Now, the ship was sitting just outside of Equestria's territorial waters, protected by a small armada of guards, and equipped with state of the art sensory jamming equipment and more. If this investment payed off as well as he hoped it would, and it most likely would, he might build one or two more of these ships. In fact, he could use them to off shore some of his production facilities and test labs!

As he contemplated this, Sombra's phone rang! According to the device, it was Sans. He knew that he didn't want to be disturbed right now... So it had to be important...

“I hope it is important...” He hissed icyly.

“Sir, we might have a new lead...”

Sombra's mood changed immediately! “... What is it?”

“It's an anonymous tip.” Sans Smirk explained. “I have the letter in front of me. It was delivered to one of our dead drops. No idea how that pony found out about them, and the cameras didn't deliver anything of value either. The deliverer was fully clothed, hid his face... Whoever it is, he's good...”

“What does the letter say?”

“I checked the information with what we have. It most likely is one of the buildings we're looking for.”

“Really? Are you sure?”

“Yes. An old factory hall in one of the worst parts of Manehattan. We had to do some serious digging before I called you, but according to a number of documents we found, and the ones we DIDN'T find, it's likely that it is one of the buildings. Maybe even one with value. Whoever delivered us this tip, however he found out what we're looking for... I am impressed.”

“I have to agree. Maybe we could hire him. Either that, or, once we know who it is,...” The implication was left unsaid. Either that pony could be a very useful asset, or an annoying threat that had to be dealt with. “Buy it. Immediately.”

“There is just one issue...”

“That would be?” The boss' voice was a low, quiet rumble. Anticipation, greed, and the determination to do whatever it took swung in every word. He didn't want problems...

“The building was sold a while ago. It has been turned into one of Manehattan's more popular clubs, 'Tartarus'.”

“Who's the owner?”

“A dragon called Spike. Maybe you've seen him on some tabloids. Green-and-purple scales...”

“Yes. I know. Met him at Filthy's charity event.” Sombra let out a sigh. He had honestly kind off liked the dragon! Too bad that he now became an obstacle. And obstacles had to be dealt with. “Buy them out! Offer them a new building in a better location, alongside a fair amount of money!” He ordered Sans Smirk! And then, he added far more angrily, “I didn't spend over a decade looking for maybe exactly that building, just to be stopped by some upstart gutter rat!” He had kind off liked the guy, but now that he was competition, there was no reason to play nicer than he had to! Maybe, if he took the offer, he would consider giving the kid some assistance, seemed to be smart enough, but until then... “And do it over a few letterbox companies!”

“Of course, sir.” Sans Smirk agreed, already typing things down on his tablet. “And if they don't want to sell?”

“Send some of Hard Hat and his guys to send a message. Wait... have Trouble Shows with them. That should get the message across! And if they still have second thoughts about selling... maybe we could also ask Wind Rider and his Washouts for a favor, or maybe put pressure from the authorities son them...... I don't want to have Umbrum Enterprises connected to this in any way! It'd raise too many questions why we are interested in that club!”
