Chapter Thirteen: Delicious Candy Apple

It was well into Spring, nearly two months since Hearths Warming, and Fluttershy has yet to officially join in the herds sexy fun time. Fresh and clean from showering, Lyra decided to skip casting a spell to dry herself, allowing her minty coat to slowly dry in the warm springtime air. Just as Lyra wanted, she was to choose the next date. It's not that they hadn't wanted to go on any dates in the past two months, but with Fluttershy visiting them, and vice versa, dating had just slipped their minds. Lyra cursed herself for it too; in another month and a half or so, she would be leaving for the Royal Euphony. She couldn't possibly leave them without Fluttershy becoming intimate with Trace, at least once. Trace had asked why it was such a big deal, all she could tell him was, “As the lead mare of the herd, Fluttershy would have to wait until all three of us were present for our first time, to properly show that we both accept her into the herd.”

The lovely minty unicorn panted as she quickly trotted through town, trying her best to think of something for the date that would most definitely be romantic enough for them to 'get it on' as one would most likely say in this situation. When a large pink building came into view, Lyra paused, “Sugarcube corner? No, that wouldn't work... Sugarcube... sugar... CANDY! That's IT! I’ll go ask Bon Bon! She would know, especially after that romantic date she took me on when we went out!”

Lyra giggled merrily as she galloped towards Bon Bon’s home.

In Bon Bon's shop:

“That smells mighty tasty, Bonny!” Applejack licked her lips hungrily as she stuck her nose into the kitchen.

“I know you have the day off and all, but wouldn't you prefer... I don't know... relaxing at home?” Bon Bon kept her gaze to the simmering pot full of liquid candy, a small blush on her face.

“Oh come on sugarcube, ah may not be all that great at showin' mah feelins, but I would rather be here with you, honest!” Applejack slowly stepped into the kitchen, running her side up Bon Bon's, making a shiver run up the creamy earth mare's spine.

“Applejack...” Bon Bon stated barely above a whisper, struggling with something that quivered just past her lips.

“Do ya really want me ta go, sugarcube?” Applejack said with the utmost concern on her face, pulling away from Bon Bon and sitting down beside her.

“O-on the contrary... Applejack, I just don't see why you like me so much! I mean, every time you try to court me, I just freeze up. Not to mention, that one time...” Bon Bon's expression fell, keeping an eye on the pot, but not really caring if it burned at the moment.

“Ah told ya not ta worry about that, I've been left high and dry more than my fair share, and I'm not going to hold it against ya when ya honestly didn't mean too!” Applejack gave a soft grin, stepping forward to gently place her hoof around Bon Bon's shoulders and nuzzle the candy mare's cheek.

Releasing her inhibitions, Bon Bon turned and faced Applejack, pulling her closer to do the only thing she could actually manage to do with Applejack, kiss her. Bon Bon prided herself for at least being able to do that much, kissing Applejack the way she wanted too. Bon Bon wrapped her hooves around Applejack, gently running her hooves up the orange cowpony's back, eliciting a small moan. A hearty chuckle left Applejack as she broke the kiss, using her hooves to push Bon Bon away a little, “We shouldn't be getting' all roused up with the oven goin'!”

Biting her lower lip, Bon Bon blushed reaching over the stove and turning the little knob off, quickly cutting off the heat to the candy liquid. Applejack blinked in confusion, “They aren't done, sugarcube... They gonna solidify into an overly sugary mess!”

Stepping closer, Bon Bon tried to put a seductive look on her face, but her embarrassment wouldn't let her. Applejack swallowed, she was an absolute sucker for that adorable embarrassed look Bon Bon would get when trying to court her. Applejack weakly and nervously chuckled again as she averted her gaze from Bon Bon to the pot, “I tell ya Bonny... that candy is gonna solidify and yer gonna have a hella time gettin' that outta yer crock pot!”

A swallow could be heard from Bon Bon as she finally reached Applejack, sitting in front of her and wrapping her forehooves around Applejack's neck, reaching her lips up to the orange earth mare's ear, “You can help me lick it up later!”

Applejack could feel her face heat up rather quickly with that seductive and arousing voice Bon Bon was using, along with another certain area quickly rising in temperature and with tiny spasms. Bon Bon pulled back just far enough, about to kiss Applejack, before the orange cowpony pulled away, grabbing an oven mitt in her teeth and grabbing the pot by the handle. Bon Bon only watched in confusion as Applejack opened the back door in the kitchen and swiftly dumped the candy mixture before throwing the pot in the sink and filling it with hot water. Once the pot was full enough to keep any remnant candy mix from solidifying, Applejack quickly returned to Bon Bon, “Sorry bonny... Ah wouldn't have been able to just let ya ruin a fine pot on my behalf...”

Giggles were all that could be heard from the tan mare, followed by, “Applejack, I love you, and I am sorry I have been unable to properly show you that.”

“Ah don't mind waitin' fer ya, ah love you too!”

Slowly but surely, Bon Bon pulled Applejack toward her once again, locking her lips with the cowpony's. Applejack let out a small muffled moan into the kiss, feeling Bon Bon's tongue venture into her mouth. Once again, Applejack could feel Bon Bon's hooves explore her back, earning her more moans and her own hooves gently placed on the candy mares sides.

Suddenly, the kiss broke making the orange cowpony's eyes widen as Bon Bon pushed her, quickly making her land on her back. Her hat slid across the tiled multicolored floor that matched Bon Bon's two-toned mane, only to be halted by the fridge. Applejack grinned as she paused for a brief moment to look up to her creamy marefriend in shock, “This is the first time ah've seen ya so dominant, Bonny.”

A pinkish hue befell Bon Bon's features as she slightly averted her eyes away from Applejack's, saying barely over a whisper, “After the breakup with Lyra, I've been worried of it not working with you. I want to try really hard this time, to show you how much you mean to me.”

“Look at me!” Applejack used her hoof to move Bon Bon's gaze to meet her own, before gently smiling, “Ah know ya love me Bonny, we don't need to mate fer me ta know that!”

“Applejack...” Bon Bon gave a weak giggle, giving her orange mare a happy contented grin, “I want to make you mine, here and now, if you'll let me?”

“Just don't push yerself, sugarcube. Ah can wait if yer not ready.” Applejack gave her a reassuring smile, reaching up to gently stroke Bon Bon's cheek.

Leaning into Applejack's hoof, Bon Bon returned her smile, “I think I am.”

Slowly removing her hoof, Applejack kept her gaze upward, gently closing her eyes as Bon Bon lowered her lips down to hers, sealing their love. Bon Bon broke the kiss with an audible wet sound, her lips moving to Applejack's neck. The orange mare's tail twitched in response with each little peck on her neck. Bon Bon's kisses made a trail down to rest on her collar bone, where her lips began lightly nipping at the flesh. The Element of Honesty shuffled against the floor releasing a hot breath and a very faint, “Bonny...”

Even though Applejack couldn't see her candy mare's expression, she knew she was smiling. Bon Bon immensely enjoyed kissing Applejack, it was the one thing she had always felt comfortable with. Though, this time her goal was a little farther. Bon Bon's own sex was getting deeply moistened and she couldn't help but shudder, longing for any sort of relief; that, however, would have to wait. She desperately wanted to repay the orange cowpony for the last time they tried to mate. Getting Bon Bon to actually try oral, but chicken out half way through. The creamy mare continued her ventures down, her body coming to rest in between Applejack's hind legs.

“Ya don't have too...” Applejack weakly swallowed, trying to look down to the adorable mare between her legs.

“Shh!” Bon Bon interrupted with a grin, though nervousness was still clearly there, unlike the other times they tried to mate, her face was also set in determination.

Bon Bon puckered her lips to blow tenderly onto Applejack's nether region, making her head drop back to the floor with a moan. Lowering her head, Bon Bon sniffed, taking in the distinct scent of apples. Hesitantly sticking out her tongue, Bon Bon gave the delicate folds a test lick. It was just a brushing, but the blonde maned mare still felt it, making her shiver against the cool hard tile of Bon Bon's kitchen. In the back of Applejack's mind, she couldn't help but wonder when her marefriend would suddenly freeze up, getting the cowpony's hopes up before leaving her aroused and sensitive. So far, Bon Bon wasn't showing any signs of stopping. Applejack winced when Bon Bon's tongue connected with her outer lips of her flower, making her shiver as if somepony had stuck ice to her.

Biting her lower lip, Applejack could tell she was buying time before darting in. Bon Bon's tongue remained at either side of her entrance, licking her teasingly. At that moment, Applejack wanted nothing more than to grab a hoof full of mane and force her into her most intimate area, but refrained herself. She knew full well that that would most likely scare Bon Bon away from going any further. Applejack squeaked in surprise when the candy mare's tongue actually slipped inside, followed by a loud moan. For a moment she couldn't believe Bon Bon finally took the next step. The last time they tried oral, Bon Bon hadn't gone farther than nibbling and sucking at her clit. Applejack's legs twitched and she could tell she was going to end up bucking if she wasn't careful. Using her forehooves, she grabbed hold of her hind ones, and pulling them to her chest, which also lifted her rump slightly off the floor.

At this position, gave Bon Bon easy access and her tongue ventured farther. Applejack managed to glance down to notice Bon Bon tenderly rubbing her cutie marks on either side, giving the three red apples on either flank all of Bon Bon's attention. In this position, it was a little harder to breath, but at least she wouldn't risk bucking her marefriend.

“B-Bonny...” Applejack warmly breathed, her eyes falling closed and her hips circling up into Bon Bon's mouth.

Hearing the cute pet name Applejack had given her, she looked up, never removing her mouth. Applejack opened her eyes to look down and see her lover gazing back up to her. Applejack convulsed, becoming disoriented at the sight of the mare between her legs, eagerly eating her out. Unlike the other times they tried to mate, Bon Bon's nervousness and self-consciousness seemed nonexistent as she focused on Applejack's pleasure.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Applejack's ears flickered at the vague and seemingly nonexistent knocking, but her mind quickly edged the sound from her mind. Knowing full and well Bon Bon wasn't open yet, so whoever was at the door could just suck ponyfeathers for all she cared. She wasn't about to make her lovely Bonny stop, and it looked like she wasn't about to halt her delicious little treat either. Applejack focused on her breathing and trying to hold up her legs, but didn't stop the building sensation of her impending orgasm. Applejack's hooves slipped, letting her hind legs fall to either side of Bon Bon as the candy mare's tongue hit something ultra-sensitive inside. Gaining some kind of comprehension of speech, Applejack moaned out, “T-that... do that, again! Ooohh!”

Bon Bon closed her eyes as she focused on the general area where she was when Applejack reacted. This made Applejack shudder in mind hazing bliss. Applejack's body was slowing and her breathing becoming shorter and quicker, telling Bon Bon of what was about to happen. Applejack's tunnel convulsed, trying to ensnare and suck in the pink invader.

“B-bonny... bon...” Was all the dazed orange mare could even hope to mutter right now. All the warning she could ever possibly give at this moment, “AAHhh hah...” Applejack pleaded out into the air as her body screamed out by spasming against the cold tiled floor, her hips bucking up into Bon Bon's sweet mouth.

Bon Bon's eyes went wide as liquid squirted from Applejack's entrance, making her pull back momentarily in shock. A good bit coating her face before she retaliated, reconnecting her lips to Applejack's convulsing flower and drinking down anything she could get a hold of. She greedily swallowed Applejack's love potion, which was so eagerly provided with each twitch and tremor.

Even though Applejack was still contracting against the floor, Bon Bon pulled away once no more liquids were given, trying to catch her own breath. When the creamy earth mare pulled back, Applejack rolled onto her side, somewhat holding herself, trying to survive and not go mad until the orgasm finally faded.

“W-was it really that good?” Bon Bon panted, a look of disbelief on her face as she thought, 'she has to be exaggerating her orgasm to make me think I done a good job!'

“Mm.. hmm...” Applejack said with a weak nod, her body melting against the floor, “W-wow...”

“Come on... I know I can't be that good...” Bon Bon frowned, wiping what she could off her face with a cloth that hung from the stove.

Shakily forcing herself to sit up, Applejack swallowed, “Oh yes you are, not... not ta mention bein' left high and... dry.” Applejack had to pause to catch her breath before continuing, “Left high and dry a couple days before, ah wanted you so badly, Bonny!”

Bon Bon went wide-eyed, not really sure how to react, but the look on her marefriend's face told her she wasn't lying, not to mention she was the element of honesty. Crimson marked her cheeks and she couldn't pull her gaze away from Applejack's tired form.

“N-now, let me return the favor!” Applejack smiled as she got up, slowly walking over.

“You should rest first! You look exhausted!” Bon Bon frowned as Applejack put a hoof on her shoulder.

“Ah've done a lot more with a fair bit more exhaustion before, Ah think ah can handle this!” Applejack giggled as she connected her lips to Bon Bon's.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Applejack frowned in disappointment as Bon Bon pulled away, “We should answer that, you just rest while I get the door!”

“Oh no ya don't!” Applejack smiled deviously as she grabbed Bon Bon's tail in her teeth, halting her movement, “Yer mine!”

Without warning, Applejack let go of the candy mare's tail and tackled her to the floor. Bon Bon struggled, but her hooves were successfully pinned underneath her body and Applejack lay atop her back. Bon Bon winced as her orange mare nipped at her ear before whispering, “Ah finally got ya ta go this far, Ah'm not givin ya a chance to chicken out!”

Falling silent, Applejack waited for Bon Bon to say something. The candy maker could be heard swallowing, followed by, “O-okay...”

A grin formed on Applejack's expression as she chuckled, “That'a girl!”

Turning around to lie on her back, Bon Bon gently closed her eyes and connecting her lips to the orange cowpony's.

_________________________________________________________

With Lyra:

“Hmm... usually she would be making a fresh batch of candies before opening... Maybe she decided to take a day off?” Lyra sighed as she took a step away from the door.

Lyra froze when she heard, “OOOhhh... Applejack!”

The minty unicorn's gaze froze to the ground, a blush darting across her face and her eyes going wide enough to scare anypony that could walk by. Lyra cleared her throat as her expression softened, but the shock could still be clearly seen on her expression. Lifting up her head, Lyra smiled, chuckling, her cheeks still reddened in embarrassment, “G-good for you, Bon Bon. I'm proud of you!”

And with that, Lyra took her leave. Her mind quickly trying to distract itself to the task at hoof, “Gotta find a date idea for Trace and Fluttershy!”

Lyra blinked as a thought popped into her head, “I know! Rarity is Trace's and Fluttershy's friend, I'll go ask her. Plus she’s very beautiful; she probably goes out with stallions all the time!”

Still trying to shake off the picture of whatever Bon Bon and Applejack was doing, Lyra breathed a flustered breath as she took off to a full gallop towards Rarity's Boutique.

_________________________________________________________________

Rarity's boutique:

“Darling, I'm rather busy at the moment.” Rarity said with a clear sign of exhaustion, but a clear urgency in her voice.

“I'm sorry, but I really need a date idea for Trace and Fluttershy!” Lyra pleaded, putting her forehooves together in a pleading fashion.

“Time is money and I don't have enough time nor money. So if you want my time, you better put yourself to use!' Rarity stated matter of factually, but never once looked at Lyra, as she ran back and forth through the boutique with various fabrics.

Falling silent, the minty mare watched Rarity at work. Closing her eyes and letting out a sigh, Lyra calmly replied, “Okay, what do I have to do?”

Rarity stopped dead in her tracks, finally looking directly at Lyra that was now looking back. The rather regal white unicorn straightened her frazzled mane and gave Lyra a soft smile, “Up on the model table please!”

Doing as she was told, Lyra stepped onto this large circular podium type thing that stood at least a foot off the ground. Lyra sat down to wait, but as soon as she did, her rump was lifted in a light blue aura back into a standing position, followed by a yellow blank dress landing around her body, that was no more than just a piece of cloth so far. When Rarity didn't say anything, Lyra took it upon herself to speak up, “Okay, here is my problem, I am leaving for the Royal Euphony and--”

“Hold this!” Rarity stated quickly, hovering a ribbon in front of her.

Lyra only nodded, using her magic to briefly hover the ribbon, looking to Rarity as she replied, “…and I want the date to be so romantic that it will lead to Fluttershy mating with Trace and myself. I need--”

“Look straight!” Rarity commanded, almost pricking her with a needle as it connected another piece of blue fabric to the yellow dress.

She quickly obeyed, turning her head forward, continuing, “I don't want them to have to wait to have sex till I return, so I need them to mate before I leave!”

Taking several moments to reply, Rarity finished up with attaching a layer of fabrics, immediately making the dress look a lot more appealing than just a yellow piece of fabric that resembled a dress. Rarity paused, eying the dress as she tapped her chin, “You know what this needs?”

“Hmm?” Lyra hummed, not really sure if she should look at the white mare, keeping her gaze forward.

“Gems!” Rarity called out, a box illuminated in the white unicorn's baby blue magic.

“Rarity, please...” Lyra begged, wanting an answer to her question.

“Why don't you just talk to them about your concerns, darling?” Rarity stated plainly, but at least she was paying attention now.

“I have, but they told me sex wasn't an issue, that it'll happen when it is meant too...” Lyra sighed, her ears splaying back against her head.

A giggle escaped Rarity as she pulled various gems and placed them periodically onto the dress, “You shouldn't rush the issue then; they will wait for you my dear!”

Lyra couldn't help her frustrated sigh followed by a short groan, “I know, but they already have to wait for me to get back. I don't want to miss their first time together, and I don't think it is fair for them to have to wait until I come back in Autumn.”

When no reply came, Lyra looked over to see Rarity looking off into space for a moment, but before Lyra could get impatient, she spoke, “What you should do is tell them your exact concerns and see if they are willing to mate. If they say they're not ready, you should just leave the matter alone. You don't want to force them and then they drift apart when you leave, because of awkwardness.”

“I-I didn't look at it that way. I wouldn't want them to rush it and then be too awkward to even see each other. It would be different if I was there, but with me gone, I wouldn't be able to prevent them drifting apart...” Lyra sighed, about ready to just break down, “What should I do?”

“Like I said, just speak with them, tell them your exact concerns and why you think they should mate, but if they say no, for Celestia’s sake don't force them!” Rarity frowned with a very serious expression.

“And what about the date, no matter how I go about this, I still want the date to go well...” Lyra pleadingly looked to Rarity, hoping she would just come up with something and that would be that.

“Darling, don't you think that it would be more meaningful if you came up with it on your own? Also, I truly believe Trace and Fluttershy would love anything you had to offer, even if it was just a walk through the park, they would enjoy it only because it is with you!” Rarity paused once more, gems hovering in the air, before giving Lyra a look of empathy.

“I can see why you are Trace's best friend, Rarity.” Lyra chuckled, giving a weak grin.

“Okay now!” Rarity stated before levitating the dress off of Lyra, “This dress is done; I want you to go find your date idea and make your mates the luckiest two herdmates in the entirety of existence!” Rarity smiled, placing the dress on a ponnequin.

Jumping down off the podium, Lyra's hooves collided with the Persian rug that coated the floor, “Yes Ma'am!” Lyra giggled, clearly having a little more confidence than when she first came to see her.

“Now get out of here, I got work to do!” Rarity tried to say in a demanding tone, but the smile on Rarity's face told Lyra that she didn't really mean it to be harsh.

Lyra nodded as she pranced away from the boutique with her head held high, 'Trace and Fluttershy, I promise you will both love our date!'
