You had made many fond memories since your arrival in this weird world filled with magical talking equines. Sometimes, as you thought back on some of these, you often wondered just how you had come to live such an odd life. The conclusion of such wonderings though, always turned out to be the same. And those conclusions were, as far as you knew, the most logically sounding conclusions any person could have come up with.

Simply put, if someone had told you that one day you would wake up in such a world, you would have brushed it off as a joke and fanciful chitchat. And as such, your conclusion was that fate had a twisted sense of humor.

Now though, more than ever, you were happy that fate had defied logic with such a joke, and that it had instead had other plans for you.

And you were more than happy to see where those plans took you.

The days that followed were perhaps the happiest, and more exhausting, days of your life up to that point. To say that you and Applejack had hardly left her room would have been an understatement seeing as you were pretty sure neither of you left the bed. Needless to say, her heat had been well kept under control, and then some, once you recovered more from you ordeal that is.

Of course, that’s not to say you actually didn’t leave the bed. That would had been silly, and likely dangerous to your health. You had to do other things beyond making bunnies jealous.

When you were hungry and needed to replenish your energies, you and Applejack ate together. When you needed to wash up and freshen up, you both showered together. And of course, when you had to sleep, you and Applejack slept together.

Okay, admittedly two out of three necessary daily routines that didn’t lead to boinking was better than none.

Unless you two felt creative and frisky while partaking in those daily activities…

Point was though, that you both had enjoyed and cherished your time together over the days that followed. And, as the days went by, and the heat died down and loosened its grip on a few members of the population, some of your friends even came to visit more often.

Applejack’s friends, when they visited throughout the week, had nothing but congratulations for you two. Even if they had been there when you woke up and you had your “sappy moment” as Rainbow Dash had referred to it teasingly at one point. Others, like Lyra and Fluttershy, had heartfelt apologies to give you for their behavior during the prior days.

Admittedly though, Fluttershy did feel the need to do hers in private with you. And, even though your questions concerning Big Macintosh’s whereabouts went unanswered, you were glad she had apparently snapped to her senses again.

Apparently was the key word. You weren’t too keen on testing that theory out.

Lyra’s apology caused Applejack to look at you funny as she took off your boxers, which she had been wearing up to that point, and levitated them over to you. She was however ecstatic when you told her to keep them. She had, after all, earned them fair and square.

Plus, the point of the whole matter was that it was still a heartfelt apology, and she had helped you in the end. Without her standing up for you in front of the mare mob, Celestia only knew how things would have turned out.

Although, you’d be lying if you said you didn’t find it entertaining to watch Applejack become flustered as Lyra assaulted her with questions about your “mating habits,” so that was a plus. Nothing wrong with letting her enjoy herself a bit, right?

But of course, nothing compared to watching Applejack in those rare occasions when Rarity would whisper questions into her ear, and then she would flush as red as the apples on her cutie mark. She never told you what they were, and sometimes couldn’t even look you straight in the eyes, and Rarity would only smile at you seductively afterwards. So, you figured that sometimes, things were better left unheard. Or as some would say, ignorance was bliss.

And plus, you told Applejack you were willing to try some suggestions. So if she felt up to it, you’d find out eventually.

Yes, things seemed to be slowly returning to normal. Well, as normal as they got in Ponyville.

And now, nearly two weeks later, as you walked towards town alongside your mare, wearing the pants she had fixed for you, you couldn’t help but feel a bit curious about what your future would be like.

You had a basic idea though, but…

“Sugahcube, ah told ya you don’t have to do this.”

“Do what love?”

“Yah know dang well what! Yah worked too darn hard for it ta’simply sell it.”

You smiled and let out a sigh as you and Applejack began to walk across the bridge that crossed over a little river near the fringe of Ponyville. The town itself was just a few yards away, and you could already see the buzz of activity taking place there. A lot of mares were going around from place to place fixing windows, setting up new flower pots, and patching holes on the roofs of some of the buildings. No stallions were in sight though, not yet at least, not out in the open.

As much as you would have hated to admit it, it was hard to hide your hesitation to go into town as the sight of so many mares gave you a literal pause, and you stopped on top of the bridge. You could feel an icy cold chill run down your spine, and your fight or flee response had already sent messages to your legs to prepare for the oncoming horny mare storm.

But it would not be necessary as a more overpowering part within you told you had nothing to be afraid of for one simple reason.

“Sugahcube?”

You turned to look at the mare beside you and without a word, dropped to her level and took her beautiful face in your hands right before you kissed her deeply. She was a bit shocked at your sudden show of affection, but that immediately wore off as you felt her push into it and she reciprocated your kiss.

You both heard wolf-whistles sounding out from town, and blushed and smiled as you broke your kiss. You couldn’t stop looking at each other, even as the whistling turned to approving hoots and howlers.

“Applejack, I’m doing this for one simple reason. And that is because some things… are worth a lot more to me…” You spoke tenderly as you caressed her and felt her push into your hand, showing she understood what you meant.

“Besides…” This time, you smiled as you caught a welcomed sight out of the top corner of your vision, in the sky, and rose to point at it. “I don’t think we have to worry about this little trip seeing as I’m not the only male in town anymore…”

Applejack followed your finger and joined you in looking up at the sky as you both stood together on the bridge. Off in the distance, a group of pegasus stallions were flying towards town, and it was a rather beautiful sight to behold. Their ability for flight had always fascinated you to some extent.

The way their wings moved effortlessly…

The way they seemed to glide through the wing currents…

Truly, the form of a pagasus in flight was a beautiful thing.

Unless it was a heat crazed mare and she was dive bombing at you. That sight was traumatizing and scary as heck.

“Guess that means it’s safe for me to be in town now if they feel it’s safe enough to come back.”

“Uh oh…”

You quickly snapped out of your thoughts and looked back at Applejack, only to snap your attention back towards the sky as something shot out of Ponyville towards the flock of pegasus. You had to squint your eyes a bit to see it, but once you realized what it was, you felt a familiar fear creep into the back of your mind. It was Thunderlane, flying like a bat out of Tartarus as he dragged behind him torn ropes and wore a visibly horrified expression even from where you stood. Behind him…

“Holy shit…”

Pegasus mares were launching into the air seemingly out of nowhere, like some horrible swarm of horny bugs that threatened to block out the sun with their sheer numbers.

You could feel your blood run cold as you looked at the scene unfolding in front of you. Events of your own ordeal were flashing through your eyes, and before you knew it, you were at the rail of the bridge screaming.

“NO!... NO!”

Your arms waved in the air as you frantically tried to get Thunderlane’s attention to no avail. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw the leading pegasus in the stallion flock suddenly throw out signals with his hooves in a panic to the other pegasus. The flock broke into different, seemingly practiced, formations and prepared for contact. It almost looked like they had prepared for the worst.

In a matter of teeth grinding seconds, the swarm of horny mares made contact with the flock, and a hellish chaos broke out in the sky. It was something that would be burned into your memories for the rest of your life.

The brave squadrons from the Flock were doing their best to keep their respective formations as they flew at breakneck speeds. It was incredible. Years of having lived through the heat seasons had turned the stallions into some of the most breathtaking flyers you had ever seen. It was like watching angels fly as they dodged, banked, dove, and climbed towards the heavens within the swarm of horny mares, trying to break away and flee.

Through their lifelong trials, they had been forged into incredible flying machines!

They had agility! Speed! And above all… they had bravery and nerves of steel!

“GYAAAHHH!!”

… All of which quickly vanished in the blink of an eye.

No sooner did the first stallion fall from the sky, screaming, tangled in the hooves of two mares, that panic quickly spread throughout the Flock like scattershot. Formations broke. The Swarm had proven to be too large. Ponyville’s pegasus population was relatively small, but it was easily still three mares to every stallion.

Whatever hope you felt for them quickly faded among the panicked screams of the stallions that fell from the sky. Their own screams only seeming to fade among the screams of the stallions still trying to survive through the Swarm.

“GYAAHH!”

“STAR HUNTER! YOU GOT ONE ON YOUR SIX!”

“I CAN’T SHAKE HER WHIPLASH!”

“DO A BARREL ROLL!”

“NNNGYAAHH!”

“STAR HUNTER! NOOOOAHH! AHHH! GYAAHHH!”

You watched in horrified amazement as two stallions covered in mares fell from the sky and crashed beyond a tree line. A sudden billow of smoke became the only marker to their ruin.

And they weren’t the only ones.

The brave Flock never stood a chance…

Stallions were spiraling towards the earth, trees, and even some of the buildings in Ponyville, screaming as the latched on mares licked and nibbled on them. It gave a whole new horrific meaning to joining the mile high club.

Without realizing it, your hand had found its way towards Applejack’s withers as you fell to your knees and hugged her. The sight that played out before you had left you speechless, and what had now begun taking place in the sky had humbled you deeply.

The Flock was lost, and the surviving pegasus stallions knew this, and were now instead trying to save some of the spiraling and plummeting stallions. Bravely, they were sacrificing themselves, trying to pry off the mares off of their fellow stallions to give them a chance to escape, only to get caught themselves and plummet too.

Bravest among them, was mighty Snowflake…

No matter his diminutive wings, he had already saved two stallions as five horny mares clung to him, and he showed no signs of stopping.

“HELP ME!”

“YEAHH!!”

He dove and pried two mares off of a plummeting stallion. The mares quickly lost interest in the skinny stallion and latched on to Snowflake instead. He now had seven mares latched on to him, and only barely seemed to slow down.

“HELP ME SNOWFLAKE!”

“YEAHHH!!!”

Another stallion was saved as he pried three mares off of the poor colt. Ten mares now clung to him!

“HELPAAHHH!”

“YEAAHHHH!!!!”

A last burst of effort.

One final stallion was saved.

Mighty Snowflake tore three more mares off of him and began to spiral out of control. Heroic as he was, he had fallen like any other warrior that had fought up in that sky… and now plummeted towards earth with thirteen horny mares clinging to him.

“YEEAAHHH!!”

Straight at the bridge where you and Applejack stood.

“YEAHHHOLY SH-”

“GET DOWN!”

“What th-”

Instinct took over. You immediately threw yourself over Applejack and pushed her to the ground as you lay on top of her to protect her. With a bit of hope and Celestia given luck, perhaps your body would be enough of a cushion to take the brunt of the impact from the steroid-grown pagasus covered in mares, and protect the mare you loved.

Fate though, had surprised you once again as it threw you a bone, and instead, all you heard and felt was a tremendous splash that sent a tidal wave of water over the bridge. You and Applejack were soaked to the bone as you slowly stood up, and adrenaline coursed through you. Your breathing came out hard and fast as you neared the side of the bridge and peered over the rail to look below.

“NO! NO! GYAHH!”

“MMM! Always wanted to try beefcake!”

“NOO! GYAHH! HELP ME!”

You watched as Snowflake struggled in the shallow river against the horny mares that swarmed all over him, trying to get a piece of the beefcake. It was like watching a train wreck. You couldn’t look away as you realized just how lucky you had been that they had not gone after you as they had the Flock.

Soon though, you became aware that Applejack was standing again next to you looking over the bridge at the unfolding scene as well. She looked oddly nonchalant about the whole thing, even if she was dripping wet from the splash of water. It was only obvious that she looked a bit confused by your questioning stare as she turned to look at you.

“What’s wrong sugahcube?”

“What do you mean what’s wrong?” You replied in disbelief as you pointed towards the battle in the sky and then at Snowflake in the river.

“NO! NO! DEAR CELESTIA! WHY AREN’T YOU HELPING ME?!”

She followed your hand gestures and looked at where you pointed. There still seemed to be no reaction coming from her. And, after a few seconds slowly ticked on by, all she did was shrug as she turned to look back at you.

“Happens every year.”

“Huh?”

“Yup, usually the pagasus go and send sum’scouts first t’check on how the heats progressing. If they all come back, then the rest of them go n’fly on in. If none of them come on back, then they’ll stay away ah’bit longer.”

You blinked a few times as you tried to process the new bit of information that she had divulged. It was unavoidable to look once again at the struggling pegasus in the river now that you knew how it had all come to be. Was everything really so organized within all that chaos? Did every pony have a plan like that to avoid getting caught? Was the fact that you survived just dumb luck?

Too many questions were racing through your mind. Your only plan had been to run like an idiot for as long as you could and hope for the best. Hope that you’d be able to fix what you had done, correct what had happened. These poor stallions on the other hand had a system, a plan, years of experience… And they had still failed miserably!

“W-why? How the heck did I escape? How was it that by some stroke of dumb luck I escaped?! What-”

You became quiet as you felt Applejack place her hoof over your hand in a comforting gesture, and you turned to see her next to you. Her expression was concern, fear… similar to what you had seen when you woke up in her room. And just like then, you felt yourself calm down, and you understood why things had turned out the way they had.

Your hand shifted as you took a hold of her hoof and gave it a squeeze.

What had pushed you onward had been one simple desire. One simple thought, one simple dream of a mare with a golden mane, and emerald green eyes that lifted you up every time you fell.

“Sugahcube, ya made your way back home to me’cause some things are simply worth ah’lot more...”

Even if you had not realized it then, it was easy to see now what your source of strength had been. To see what had fed your determination through your ordeal. And even though she had had her doubts, her moments of not accepting you would risk so much for a pony like her, she now understood too. She understood how much she meant to you.

The only reply you could give her now was a simple calming smile to show her you were okay. Even if you actually still felt like running away from what was going on around you.

Hey, just because you had figured out the reason behind the unfolding chaos, it didn’t mean it made it any less horrifying.

“So what do you supposed happened?” You asked as you looked once again at the scene before you.

“Ah guess this year them fillies got smart. Must’ve let the scouts go back so they all could get at the rest of’em…”

“Clever girls…”

“FOR CELESTIA’S SAKE! WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE?! HELP!!”

You both remained there on the bridge looking on as the chaos seemed to be entering its final throes before the curtain fell on the whole thing. There were not many stallions left from the Flock up in the sky. Some had managed to escape, but it had been nowhere near a noticeable fraction of the Flock. And those that still remained, were literally dropping like flies.

“NO! NO! GYAHH! HELP!”

You felt Applejack’s hoof pull free from your hand and she nuzzled into your hip as she gave you a gentle push towards town. It startled you a bit, but it was enough to tear you eyes away from the trashing pegasus in the river.

“Come on sugahcube. Don’t ya fret either, your mah’stallion and if ya really want to do this, ah’ll make sure no mare lays a hoof on you.”

Without another word, you smiled and began to walk alongside her as you left the bridge. Yet, right before you took the final step off of that bridge, you stopped and turned around to look at the sky and the river. Applejack stopped too and looked at you as you gave a small salute, like you’d seen in the movies, and turned to walk away.

“What was that all about?”

“Spirit.”

“Spirit?”

“Eeyup, to show I’m with them in spirit.”

“Ah, ah guess that makes sum’bit of sense…” She paused for a second as she looked at you and let loose a devilish smile. “But, ya sure ya don’t want me to just go on and leave ya here, alone, so ya can be with’em physically? Sure’em mares would love another go at you.”

“NO! I mean, no, not really, no, thank you… Umm, say? Have I told you lately how much I love you?”

You and your mare fell into a pleasant conversation as your voices faded, and you both walked further into town, leaving that horrific scene behind you.

“NO! DON’T GO! HELP ME!”

“I FOUND THE BEEFCAKE GIRLS! MMMM!”

“GYAAAAHHH!”

The walk through town towards your destination had been interesting to say the least.

Although most mares walked around like if it were any other day of the year, and they had not spent the major part of a prior day hunting you down, you could plainly tell that some mares were still slaves to their primal urges. Quite a few mares, not many, still looked at you with a hunger and glazed over stare that more than once made you reconsider postponing your plans and going back home with Applejack.

However, Applejack on the other hoof, had done nothing but stick to you like caramel on an apple as soon as you set foot into Ponyville proper. Throughout the whole walk, she had done nothing but constantly rub and nuzzle against you while sighing contently. A few times, she even nibbled at your sides and caused you to laugh and giggle. It was all very confusing to you, the sudden change in her behavior around you, and questioning her about it only returned a smile.

You were starting to wonder if being around other mares in heat was starting to affect her, sort of like turning a switch back on. But as you observed closer, you began to realize something that you never thought possible.

Although a few mares looked ready to take a very kinky bite out of you, none of them had made a move for it. For reasons you could only guess, Applejack’s actions seemed to have some sort of sobering effect on the mares.

Throughout the whole walk, although you got plenty of hungry looks, no mare had dared to touch you or chase you. Heck, some of them even seemed to snap out of it and waved at you in greeting.

Admittedly, being chased and hunted down again had been one of the major concerns on your mind when you first proposed the little trip into Ponyville. Even then though, you had wanted to go alone, for reason you didn’t want to share with Applejack. Not yet at least.

She had been dead-set on coming with you however. And now, as you stood with her in front of town hall, untouched and still with your clothing on, you were glad she had been so stubborn. Even if it ultimately meant that your surprise was going to be a bit lacking in, well, the surprise element.

“What we doing here sugahcube? Ah thought we was going to your house.”

“Oh, we are. I just need to do something first. You’ll see love.”

Applejack just raised an eyebrow as you walked inside through the double doors. She fell in behind you as soon as you cleared the doorway. It was a huge mistake.

The mare behind the reception desk visibly lit up and let out an almost primal lustful roar as soon as she saw you. You froze like a deer in headlights, but that vanished as soon as she jumped on top of the desk and her horn glowed. You had forgotten that Raven, the Mayor’s aid, was a unicorn.

Too little too late did you manage to turn around and make for the door, only to have your legs go stiff as Raven’s magic engulfed them and held you rooted.

“Howdy Raven!” Applejack suddenly called out as she walked nonchalantly next to you and nuzzled into your hip. Raven’s magic immediately broke and you fell forward with a surprised yelp.

“Oh, well hello Miss Applejack!” Raven happily replied as she got off her desk, walked back behind it, and smiled at the both of you. You could only stare dumbfounded as you wiggled your legs to make sure the spell was actually no longer active.

“Welcome to Ponyville Town Hall! How may I help you?”

Slowly, you stood back on your feet and watched her carefully. It had to be a trick. If you had learned anything, it was that there was no way it was that simple.

“Sugahcube?”

“Huh?”

Hearing Applejack’s voice though, snapped you out of your thoughts and you turned to look at her. She had a reassuring smile, encouraging you to go on and do what you had come to do. It was enough, for the time being at least, as you nodded and slowly approached the reception desk while never taking your eyes off of Raven. She was smiling as if she hadn’t just tried to hold you down with her magic.

“Um, okay, so we are pretending that almost didn’t happen then? Okay, know what, I give… when in Rome.”

Both ponies just blinked at you, confused. Something twitched in your forehead and you just threw your arms in the air in defeat and walked over to the reception desk. One thing at a time, you did have plans after all.

“Yes, hi Raven. I’d like to apply for a business permit.”

“Huh?”

Oh how that confused stare from Applejack made that whole little incident worth it. Not as much though as when you kept it just outside of her line of sight while filling it out. She was like a little curious foal trying to see.

“That was mean sugahcube.”

“Not as mean as you leaving me alone with all those mares for like two minutes...”

“Yeah? Well ah still don’t get what you’re planning sugahcube. Ah thought ya wanted t’sell your house.”

“Oh, you’ll see in a bit what I have planned love. I just need a visual aid, that’s all.”

You couldn’t help but smile as you pushed the door to your house open and stepped inside. The whole walk from Town Hall to your house had been nothing but Applejack asking questions about your plans. You had avoided giving her any specific answers, and only replied vaguely enough as to not give any specific information, but still with enough information to hold her curiosity.

Now though, as you stepped further into your house and took in the state of it, you could finally give her the answers she wanted. Good thing too, you were starting to feel she might buck you for teasing her for so long.

Your home still looked the same as it had on that day so long ago, when you left ignorant and unafraid of mob sized groups of mares. The living room was still cast in darkness, because you had left in a rush and had not bothered to pull back a curtain to let any sunlight in. There had been no point, nopony else was going to be there while you were away. The kitchen had fared no better than the living room either. Cold and still, shrouded in shadows, you had left without eating anything for breakfast seeing as you often ate lunch and dinner at the farm after work. It had honestly seen very little use since you bought the house. And, as you walked further into the house, you could not help but pause for a bit and look around. It wasn’t just those two areas of the house that were cold, but even the bedroom and its incredibly comfortable bed felt frigid as you looked at it.

It was strange, you had to admit to yourself. At one point it had felt welcoming, like a home should, if a bit lacking, but now it felt...

“… rather unwelcoming.”

“Ya say sum’thing sugahcube?”

You turned around to see Applejack standing in the middle of the living room while she looked around. She had drawn the curtains and allowed some warm sunlight to filter into the room. Some of the beams of sunlight bounced off the wood floor and up towards the ceiling, suddenly adding a golden detail to its surroundings. She looked beautiful in the light as her orange coat shone slightly brighter and her golden mane bounced a bit in the light as she looked around. For some reason, the room and the house itself suddenly felt more inviting now, warmer. But perhaps, it was just the sunlight.

It was easy to smile as you walked over to her and sat on the couch, motioning for her to join you. She only looked at you a bit strangely, but still hoped up on the couch next to you and got comfortable as she nuzzled and rested her head against your shoulder. She let out a slightly relaxed sounding sigh as you draped your arm around her and pulled her closer towards your side.

The both of you remained like that for at bit, relishing the comfortable silence that permeated the room. It was a real shame that you had to go and disturb it.

“Right here, in front of us, in front of those two windows, I’ll set up the front counter.”

“Huh?”

“And right behind it, on that wall partition between the two windows, I’ll put up some shelves.”

“Shelves?”

“Yeah, they’re these pieces of wood that you-HURK!”

You suddenly became quiet as you felt Applejack hit you rather hard on your side with one of her hooves. It was hard not to smile mischievously a bit, even though it had been a bit hard.

“Okay, ah get yah opening up a store, what with the business permit yah just applied for. But just what will yah be selling sugahcube?”

“Well, thanks to my latest adventure with the mares of Ponyville, I have decided that I will be selling my services to Ponyville.”

“… come again?”

It took you a second to react to the tone of her voice and you immediately turned to see her glaring at you.

“What? OH! No, no no, not that kind of service!”

Her glare visibly softened, but she was still looking at you skeptically. You supposed given current events, better context would have been appreciated.

“I only meant that while I was running for my life through town, I noticed a lot of places that could use some fixing up or other small repairs. That being the case, I’d simply be selling my services to help with that.”

That explanation appeared to remove the rest of Applejack’s skepticism and she remained quiet for a while as she seemed to carefully roll around your idea in her head and looked around the room. She seemed to really be in deep thought over the matter, but after a bit longer, she eventually shared her two bits with you.

“Sugahcube, that’s great ya wanna provide such ah service for Ponyville. To be honest, yah’real good at that sort of thing… surprised us all ah bit too.”

“Okay, a rather backhanded compliment… but?”

“But ah suppose that means yah won’t be working on th’farm anymore, huh?”

It was your turn to be silent in thought as you looked at the pony sitting next to you. She looked visibly sad as her ears pulled back to lay flat on her head and her eyes focused on her hooves. You wasted no time as you gently placed your hand on her cheek and turned her face towards you before lovingly kissing her. You felt her hesitate for a second before pushing deeper into it and added a bit of passion to it before pulling away to look at each other. Her face was visibly flushed and her hot breath cascaded down your neck and chest. Her heat wasn’t completely done with yet, but her drive had decreased a great deal and was almost back to normal. Or what you assumed was normal seeing as a few times things did get rather pleasantly, and strenuously, heated between the two of you.

Not that you complained.

“Applejack, of course I’ll be working on the farm. I would only be taking one or two big jobs around town per week, and whatever little small ones fit in between. Only enough work to earn some extra bits to help out.”

She only blinked at you, and you took it as a sign to continue.

“I’ll turn the bedroom into my workshop and be here only one or two days out of the week. Every other day I’ll be home fixing up things and helping out like I always have since I got here.”

She smiled at you as her flushed features only got more pronounce. She loved hearing you say that, calling the farm your home, so it was no surprise when she pushed into another passionate kiss with you as she closed her emerald eyes. You felt her waste no time as she move on top of you to straddle you on the couch. She had to take a few seconds to catch her breath after she finally pulled away and tried to speak again.

“Are… are yah sure sugahcube? Are yah sure yah want to turn your place into a repair shop?”

You only smiled as you leaned in to kiss her neck, and spoke as you trailed a few kisses and nips. You could hear her sigh dreamily as you answered her and she exposed more of her neck to you.

“Not just a repair shop love, but a store too… your store.” You stopped as you felt her hooves gently place themselves on your head as she pulled you away to look at you. She looked a bit confused.

“I know you love setting up over at the open marker, but if you want, this can be your store too. I’ve heard you speak to Big Macintosh a couple of times about maybe pooling some funds into getting a small permanent shop in town. So…”

Slowly, you began to move your hand around the living room as you pointed to certain areas, and Applejack’s eyes followed every move you made.

“Behind the counter on the shelves, you can display some of the jams and other goods your family makes on the farm. Over there, near the wall that separates the living room and my soon to be workshop, I could build some bins for you to display the apples. Over here I can set up some spouts for when its apple cider season, probably a few tables too. And over there, where the kitchen is, it will remain untouched if you or anypony else feels the need to cook some apple treats to sell.”

You tried to smile at her as you finished. Her eyes had settled on yours for a while even before you had stopped talking. You couldn’t make out her expression.

“All of it of course, only if you want to Applejack… It’s your decision. And, ahem, well… um, it’s only an idea. I do intend to make it into a repair shop, but making it into a store too is only if you wa-mmmh!”

Without so much as a hint or warning, her forelegs had wrapped around your neck like a vice and she had pulled you to meet her halfway in what resembled a lunge at your lips. Although there was obvious force in the act, her lips had made contact with yours tenderly before it divulged into an intense and passionate kiss. Her tongue had wasted no time in forcing your lips open and subduing you own without any resistance whatsoever.

You were all too eager to let her do as she pleased. Breathing though, had become hard as you both lost yourselves in each other, and eventually you had to breathe.

“I-I take it you agree?”

“That all depends, what we calling it?”

“Well, I was thinking ‘Apple Barn Repairs and Goods’ but it a working name s-mmm!”

Okay, so she may have liked the name or not. You weren’t too sure. But honestly, at that moment, it didn’t really matter. All that did matter were her lips against yours and her hooves running down and up your chest. It wasn’t long though before you felt her hooves find their way to your belt to get it undone. After a few seconds of blind fumbling though, she separated her lips from yours to look down at what she was doing, and you took that opportunity to take off her hat and set it off to the side as you began to pull your shirt off. She in turn took that opportunity to begin peppering your chest with hot breathy kisses as you finally pulled the shirt off your head and moved your hands to her waist.

“Sugahcube, mmm, yah gonna ha-have to take that belt off. Ah can’t get it right yet…”

You only smiled as your hand slowly, teasingly slow, glided down her waist, down her thigh, and over to your belt buckle. Her breathing had intensified with every inch of her coat that you had caressed along your way to remove the annoying clothing item. She seemed ready to lose herself within her first orgasm right there and then, only from your touch. And it was likely not going to be the last if you had any word in it.

Slowly, you pushed the belt into the buckle and tugged to get it loose before-

“Come’er you! Yah taking too long!”

You suddenly found yourself being dragged down to the couch by a pair of orange hooves and lips.

“Well well… somepony is eager.” You spoke teasingly as you broke free from her lips and smiled down at you mare.

“Yeah? Well, all that nuzzling n’rubbing ah did to keep yah safe while in town got me all like this.”

“Oh, really? Well I think I forgot to sign some papers at the Town Hall. Maybe we can go right now an-”

The sensation of her lips against yours and your tongues wrestling made it all too difficult to finish your teasing. She was making it really obvious that in her current state, she didn’t need any more warming up. Especially when she pulled away, bit your lip, and pulled it along for the ride.

“Enough…Your pants sugahcube. Take’em off and rut your mare properly.” She suddenly demanded in a sultry and needy voice, and you were all too happy to comply. You were growing rather tired of the painful confines of your pants anways. And besides, it simply meant that it’d be your turn next time to be in charge.

She watched you intently as you undid the belt buckle and then undid the button for your pants right before pulling them down as you kneeled over her. Your boxers did little to hide your fully exposed arousal and it sprang forth through the front opening. So, it was only obvious that you wasted little time in removing them too and cast the remainder of your clothes off into an unseen corner of the room, and resumed your position over her. Her eyes were glued to it as you leaned down to kiss her forehead and lined yourself up. The heat and moistness spreading against your tip as you pushed lightly against her opening only seemed to feel more enticing than any other time before.

Slowly, you applied a little bit of pressure and soon enough, you felt a now familiar rich warmth and tightness begin to envelop the tip of your arousal. You couldn’t help but moan in pleasure as you buried yourself deeper, fraction by fraction of an inch. You could feel your mare shudder beneath you as you continued to enter her. And, the deeper you went, the harder it seemed to be for her to control it. She had told you to rut her properly though, so it only felt natural that you complied and helped her along so you could begin.

You began to pepper kisses along her forehead, and found your way to one of her ears. You nibbled on it as you added more pressure and force, and you felt her return the sensation by nibbling and kissing your exposed neck as she reached up and wrapped her hooves around it.

A sudden nibble, turned bite on your neck, let you know she was done taking it slow, and you slammed more than a third of your remaining arousal into her. Her spasming walls around your length as your tip pressed deeply against her womb let you know she was really close to her first orgasm, and that she had obviously been more eager than you thought.

“Hard.”

You heard her breath into your neck as she began to kiss the area she had bitten.

“Hard. Rut your mare hard n’fast.”

Drawing yourself out proved to be more difficult than you thought as she held you tightly inside of her. The pleasing sensation made it hard to keep your focus on the motion, but with a bit of effort, you pulled out far enough to leave just the head of your arousal inside of her. You found it hard not to look down at Applejack as kneeled over her ready to do as she asked. Her mouth was slightly opened as her half lidded, lust filled eyes, shone as she looked up at you, and then looked down at your union.

You had to look down as well, and only grinned lightly right before you buried yourself in her again with a hard resounding slap of your hips. The hungry moan she let out only spurred you forward in your actions as you pulled out again and slammed right back in again with more force and speed. Each time you slammed yourself inside, she moaned out in pleasure and called out your name. The couch had begun to make noises as well as it protested, and creaked and slammed on the hard wood floor.

Guess you were going to have to add replacement of flooring to your list of things to do to get the place looking ready for business. But that would have to wait a while… a good long while.

It wasn’t long before her hooves hooked around your arms and shoulders as she prepared for what was about to wreck her.

“AH!...Mmm… sugah-AH!... oh Celest-AH!... so close… ha, ha… faster… harder… ah… AH!!”

You were close too, dangerously close. But not as close as she was, and that worked perfectly for what you had in mind.

“Mmmm!...Ha!... AH!... NNAAAAHHH!!”

Her hind legs wrapped around your waist as she held you deep within her, tightly pressed against her womb and spasmed as she lost herself in her orgasm. You had to focus intently as you felt her walls try to milk you, and brought you dangerously to the edge. It nearly threw your plans out the window. But you couldn’t deny though that you wouldn’t have cared either way.

You felt her forelegs pull you down to lay on her, and you happily complied as you fell on top of her and felt her heaving chest and rapid heartbeat against yours. You took no small measure of delight as you heard her labored, yet content sounding breathing in your ear. It had, in a way, become the perfect complement to let you know you had done well in pleasing your mare.

Honestly, how many could say they could make Applejack winded without her bucking any apples?

You wasted no time in kissing and nibbling on her neck, just the way you knew she loved it, to help her come down from her orgasms. You were still buried deep inside her, hard as a rock, and it was a fact that wasn’t lost on her as she began to recover further, and kissed you back.

“Yah didn’t finish sugahcube… yah still hard as a rock.”

“Yeah…”

“Well…” You felt one of her forelegs move and rest against your chest as she lightly pushed you back and smiled delightedly. “We gonna have t’fix that, ain’t we?”

It was hard not to smile guiltily as you plan came to fruition and you allowed her to push you back. You slowly pulled out of her and watched her moan slightly, still sensitive from your intense rutting session. The first of many for the day if things kept going the way they had.

Once out, you moved back on the couch to allow her some room to move, and watched as she shakily stood up on all four hooves, and turned to rest her head and forelegs on the armrest of the couch. She turned to look back at you with a sultry smile as she lifted her tail off to the side to give you a very sexy view.

“Ah ain’t no dummy, so ya’ll have to pay the toll if yah want to use the other barn door…” She said with a wiggle of her rump as she stuck her tongue out at you.

Damn, she saw through your plan, clear as day. You had learned that in her state she wouldn’t be as satisfied unless she felt your warmth inside her womb. And, of course, you had no intention of leaving her unsatisfied, but it was just that sometimes a little of variety and naughtiness was needed to keep things fun.

“Sorry Applejack, I’ll make sure yAHHMMM!”

Too little, too late, did you realize Applejack’s tail had snaked itself around your neck right before she pulled your head down, and buried your face between her well toned cheeks. Her evident arousal greeted your lips, but you played along and let her have her fun as your eyes barely reached out far enough to look at her playful smirk.

“Ah didn’t say yah could talk sugahcube… mmm, so how’s about yah use’em lips and tongue for sum’thing we’ll both enjoy?” She said as she wiggled her rump and you smiled as you felt her lips rub against yours. Your tongue immediately shot out to part them and lap at her nectar as your hands took hold of her waist to give you at least some sort of control.

Her, once again, approving moans was all you needed to know she didn’t mind you taking a bit of charge in your pleasuring of her. You felt her winking, trying to suck in your tongue more than what you were already doing.

Her actions became more vigorous as you began to massage her rump, constantly rubbing around her cutie mark, right before you pulled a hand away and brought it back in a resounding spank. You heard her suck in wind through a hiss, but she was quick to show her approval as she pushed harder against you. You left your had caressing the now slightly warmer area you had spanked and felt her shiver a bits as you made your way towards her pearl with your lips and tongue. No sooner did you reach it, that you began to nibble, lick, and suckle on it a bit.

“OH! Mmm!... ha… ha… mmm!”

Yup, nothing but approval for what you were doing, and judging by how soaked she was, it was about time to get started on properly paying your “toll” as she had put it.

Another resounding spank caused her to push further and your wasted no time in bring an arm around, between her legs, and lifted one of her hind legs over your shoulder as you lifted her waist up. Her other hind leg dangled a bit off of the couch as you held her and she gripped the armrest of the couch for better support.

She almost spasmed out of your grip as you took you other hand and began to massage her lips, getting them coated in her arousal as you continued to lick and nibble on her pearl. Her moans and sighs never let up as you felt her hind legs twitch with each stroke of your tongue and fingers.

After only a few moments of this, you felt her spasm as she held her breath, cutting off a moan, and coated your chin with her nectar. You didn’t let up as you drank greedily from it, and continued your assault on her twitching form. You almost didn’t hear her speak because of how out of breath she sounded.

“E-enough sugahcube… ha… mmmah… any-any more n’ah won’t… be able… t-to keep standing.”

You only smiled as you caressed her back with the arm you were using to hold her hind leg over your shoulder, and continued to gently massage her winking lips with your other hand… right before you took your nectar coated fingers, and brought them up to her other entrance. You felt her tense a bit as you made contact with her ring, but your continued massage of her back, quickly caused her to relax again, and you found it easier to work the lubrication in so as to not hurt her. Every time you stopped to get your fingers nice and coated again, you returned and pushed a little bit harder, finding that she was relaxing a bit more every time.

Soon enough, you were able to push in the first knuckle of your finger, and you began to massage her from the inside as you heard her take a deep breath, and let it out in a moan as she readjusted to the new sensation. She no longer needed you to be stimulation her lips or pearl to keep the flow of her arousal, your actions alone were now enough to keep her hot, aroused, and eager for you to get to the next step.

You gently lowered her down onto her hind legs and observed as they trembled a bit. Once she had her balance, she slowly parted them to give you a bit more access to the entrance below her tail, which now lay limply, raised off to the side. You allowed your hand to continue massaging her ring, slightly tugging it a bit wider as you took your position behind her, and looked up to see her staring back at you with nothing but want in her eyes.

She may not say it, but you were pretty sure she enjoyed variety as much as you did.

Gently, you pushed the tip of your arousal against her back door, and held it there as you took a certain position you knew she enjoyed. Lovingly, you removed your hands from her rump, and wrapped them around her waist so that your hands now rested on her stomach and lower belly, right over hear breast. Slowly then, you allowed your weight, your warmth, to descend on top of her back as you brought your head next to hers on the armrest and kissed her on the cheek.

You had tried this position a few times before, having found it odd at first and hard to get into a proper rhythm. But during one odd conversation with Twilight, she had explained to you that most mares were used to feeling the weight and the warmth of their stallions over them as they mated. You had been willing to give it a try, and were pleasantly surprised to find out that Applejack found it just as pleasing as when you faced each other.

Variety, right?

Not surprisingly at all, you felt Applejack relax even more in this position and you nibbled on her ear as you as you whispered into it.

“You ready love?”

“Unnh huh…” Was the only reply you got as her tongue slightly lolled out of her mouth.

Gently, you brought your hips forward, and felt your arousal slip past her ring, and bury itself deeper in her tail hole. You slightly bit your lip, trying to hold back a moan, as you realized just how hot she was, and how ready she was to take you in this way. And, even though her eyes opened a bit wider as she adjusted to your girth inside of her rump, each fraction of it the disappeared into her, only made her moan longer and louder… till it was only one long, loud moan as you bottomed out in her.

She was panting heavily, and you began to massage her stomach with your hands as you felt her contract around your intruding arousal. One of your hands made its way down to her breast and began to massage it as you tried to help her relax a bit more. Soon, her panting subsided a bit and you felt her nuzzle her cheek against yours, and felt her smile as she pressed further into you.

“Don’t stop sugahcube… ah won’t deny yah anything…”

“Odd, I think I said something similar to you once.”

You only felt her smile wider as she continued to press her cheek against yours and let out a happy sigh as she clenched harder around your arousal. Things were about to get interesting and messy.

“So don’t deny me what ah want... get to itAAHHH!”

Without warning or hint, you began to pull back and felt her walls spasm and clench around you because of the sudden motion. What she wanted, after all, was the same thing you wanted.

She relaxed again as soon as she felt you almost reach the end, and let out a slight squeak as you pushed back in. The squeak suddenly ended with her breathing heavy and moaning as you bottomed out once again. With the hand you had on her breast, you continued massaging it but also began to play with her erect nipple as you began to pull out once again. And, as you trusted back in, your other hand found her pearl and began to massage it as you felt her nectar drip down and coat your fingers. You alternated hands, and used that collected moistness to cause her nipple to shine and cool, causing her to coo softly.

After a few increasingly faster and harder trusts, she had stopped pressing her head against yours, and had instead rested it on the armrest as she turned to face you. With each trust and sudden slapping of your hips against her well toned rump, she let out a hot, breathy moan and closed her eyes. All you could see now was a tiny sliver of green as it glistened through her almost completely closed eyes, and her tongue slightly lolled out with every hot breath she let loose. She knew you enjoyed watching her beautiful features as she enjoyed what you did to her, just as you knew she enjoyed the current position you two were in.

You could feel her tightening, clenching as she got closer and closer to her orgasm, and allowed herself to moan louder and louder in abandonment as she repeatedly called out your name. You pressed harder, trusting in and out as fast and as hard as you could. Again, the couch began to protest, louder than before as it creaked and slammed against the already abused floorboards.

“Oh sugahcube! Ah! Ah! AHH!... Mmm, sweet Celestia keep going… ah’m so close!”

It was getting increasingly harder to keep your focus on not reaching the edge before her. Every second that passed, every breath you took, felt like the countdown to a major explosion. But you put forth more effort… perhaps a bit more than Applejack could handle. Without warning, you felt her hind legs give out and you had to act fast without losing rhythm as you removed your hand from her breast and pushed it against the armrest of the couch, holding yourself and Applejack as you continued thrusting. The added strain doing little to hinder you while being so close to the finish line.

“Su-sugahAH…cube… ah'm cumming… ah’m cummmAHHHH!”

And so did you.

No sooner did her orgasm take a hold of her that you were no longer able to hold back, reaching your own peak. You had to close your eyes to bare the sensation. The tightness that you felt as she convulsed and clenched around you felt incredible, almost to the point that you thought you might not be able to stop emptying everything you had into her.

Slowly, gently, you felt her nose touch yours as her satisfied moans continued to escape her lips, and you guided yourself into a loving kiss. You could feel her struggle tiredly to return it as your arms relaxed and allowed you to lay her down on her belly on the couch. You tried to pull out your slowly relaxing arousal so as to not have to put your entire weight on her, but a gentle bite from Applejack on your lips told you to remain as you were. So instead, you remained inside her as you settled your weight on top of her, and felt her sigh contently into you kiss.

“Ah-ah don’t rightly think ah’ll be able to walk back home after this sugahcube…” You heard her say teasingly, yet tired, as you remained on top of her, relishing the warmth of her body against yours. It was hard not to smile goofily at the comment as you slightly, and tiredly as well, opened your eyes to look at her. Applejack still had her head turned to the side as she stared back at you lovingly with her glistening emerald green eyes, and you felt yourself slip out of her as she smiled relishing the sensation. You couldn’t help but smile back at her with an even goofier smile than before.

“Don’t ya smile like that yah idjet. Ah’m being serious…”

“Well then, more reason for us to stay here at my house for the rest of the day and night.”

She only gave you a sultry grin that conveyed just how right you were about that, and then proceeded to turn onto her side as she faced you and leaned into another kiss that lingered long enough to make you wish you didn't need to breath. Yet, she pulled away and closed her eyes as she nuzzled into your chest. That was an acceptable compromise to a kiss.

“Don’t ya mean stay here at our store?”

“Really? I don’t think you ever said yes to the ide-ow…”

The jab was light, and well placed to let you know she was only teasing with you. You countered her jab by quickly wrapping your arms around her and pulling her in close, where she couldn’t do much damage, and began to nibble on her ear.

“Ha! No, stop! Yah tickling me! Quit it sugahcube, ah’m-mmm Celestia, why are yah so good at that? Ah’m-ah’m trying to be serious here sugAHcube. Ah didn’t think ah needed t’say much more after what we just did.”

You relented your assault on her ear as you allowed her to calm down and instead switched to kissing her head as you felt her being to kiss your chest in return. Oddly enough, you could think of one thing she could say. But, as it turned out, Applejack was quite the mind reader as she said what you honestly knew didn’t really need to be said, and your name linger at the end of her words.

“Ah love you...”

And, as you returned the sentiment with your own words and a kiss, you knew that was all you'd ever need to keep you moving forward in your new life… and traverse through whatever new adventures and trials came your way.

Author's Note

Well, that was a long time coming, wasn't it?

Not the boinking. That already happened in the previous chapter. This was just me trying to practice it a bit more while also giving an ending to the first part of the fanfic.

Honestly, there was going to be a lot less boinking in this chapter and more, well, stuff. Odd how that got turned around. But hey, any ending you can walk away from, right?

Like the previous chapter, this one went through some major revisions. Heck, I almost didn't include the aerial battle at first, but then it almost ended up being one huge chapter about it. The ending was also going to be different. More hinting to what was going to happen in the next part of your story with Applejack. But then again, I figured simpler would be better.

So yeah, there you have it. The ending to the first part of this story has come and, since you are reading this, I assume gone as well. And, if you enjoyed it, keep an eye out for the next part of this story which should, given some miracles, appear sometime beginning of June. Along with my other fanfic that is in the works.
