A Lover's Choice

NOTE: You have chosen to cheat with Aloe.

You lie back down next to Aloe, staring at the ceiling. Not once have you never had to make such a strange and risky decision in your life. The pounding of your heart can be heard in your ears; perhaps the sound is drowning out your common sense.

Your head turns to Aloe, lying down next to you. Her soft, tempting body is outstretched across the bed, allowing you to take in her velvety pink coat, her supple legs, her fine bodily curves. Shuffling over to her, you find yourself lying face-to-face with her regal, blue eyes. The scent of her sugary breath teases you as you speak.

“Just this one chance, Aloe?”

“Only for tonight.”

“We’re going to go all the way?”

She nods, “The ride of your life.”

“And Lotus isn’t going to know about this?”

“I won‘t say a word to her.”

Your hoof finds itself caressing Aloe’s face as you slowly draw closer to her. Wordlessly, your lips brush against hers. Her mouth opens in response, leaving a gap for your tongue to cautiously slip through. A second later, and both of your tongues become engaged in a wet, forbidden dance of pleasure, a pleasure that caused your heart to beat faster, your blood to flow lower.

You roll over while your lips are still locked with hers, finding yourself on top of her. From her face, your hooves slide downwards, caressing her soft neck, and past the gentle rising and falling of her chest.

You try to fight back a moan when your hooves reach her hips, going one more step forward and reaching her luscious flank.

You break from the kiss, if only to breathe, before going back into it. Aloe herself is a wonderful, scandalous indulgence; to do something that was so dishonest, like cheating on Lotus with her sister and getting away with it sends shudders of filthy pleasure through you.

Or maybe that’s because you’re stroking a sensual hoof-full of her round, pink haunch. Her body writhes in delight, her hips suggestively pressing up against your own. Your muffled cry of yearning says it all; you cannot bear it any longer, and neither can your urges!

Breaking the enchanting kiss from Aloe once more, you ready yourself into position over her; she promised you would have the ride of your life, and that is exactly what you’re about to-

“Wait.”

What the-?

Aloe’s hoof pushes against your chest, pushing you away slightly. While her face is still blushing a bright red, her expression is serious.

“Before we go any further, are you really willing to go through with this? Considering what you‘re doing to Lotus?”

“Shh,” you whisper calmly, “She’ll never find out.” With that, you pull her outstretched hoof away and take another short, delicious kiss from her. She pushes you back again.

“And you honestly have no regrets about this-?”

You answer before she even finishes, “None whatsoever, don‘t you worry,” your hoof, as seductively as possible, works its way up the inside of her thigh. “Now about this ride-of-my-life you mentioned-”

Suddenly, her rear legs thump into your stomach, kicking you off the bed entirely. “Oof!” Clutching your belly, it takes a moment for you to regain your breath after the sudden strike.

“Wha- what the heck are you-?” the intense look of disgust on Aloe’s face shuts you up before you say anything else.

“No regrets whatsoever, huh?” she sneers venomously. You get the rising feeling that you may have just done a grievous mistake. “Cheating on a sweet pony like my sister, who was willing to give you her heart?!”

“H-hey! You came onto me first!” you splutter defensively, “A-and you said Lotus would never know!”

“I was testing you, idiot! A test that you failed!” she growls, “And I didn‘t say she wouldn‘t know; I said I wouldn‘t tell her.”

You let out a cry of frustration when you realise what you just fell for; “And you’d better not tell her! Do you have any idea what she‘d think of me if she found out about this?!”

“I don‘t know, should we ask her?” Aloe‘s head turns toward the wardrobe as she speaks, “What do you think, Lotus?”

You feel a scream on the inside when the wardrobe’s door creaks open, revealing a pony with two blue, tear-stained eyes, a pink mane and tail, and a coat of blue. A pony who saw the whole thing unfold before her… oh shit.

Oh shit!

“L-Lotus!” you try not to look her in the eyes as she lividly stamps towards you. “I-I can explain! Aloe told me you were at the spa tonight so-”

Smack!

A flash of white blinds you as her hoof connects with your cheekbone. Before you can gather your wits, she picks you up by the shoulders and slams your back into the nearest wall, pinning you there with her fore-hooves.

“What in the Princesses’ names were you thinking?!” Lotus screams, “I thought I finally found somepony who cared about more than just sex! But as usual, I’m proven wrong! Again!”

“Lotus, please!” you beg, “Why is this happening? Why did you set me up like this? What were you even trying to prove?”

After a moment, her anger changes, eventually replaced by a look of sheer disappointment. She looks back to her sister Aloe, then back at you, before releasing her grip.

“We’re just… doing what we always do.” Lotus explains, “Everypony just likes us for our looks! They think that just because we’re attractive and work in a spa, it means we’re some kind of pleasure toy and nothing else. But we’re so much more than that!”

“A few years ago, Lotus had her heart broken by somepony who was actually trying to cheat on her with me,” Aloe steps in, “I refused, Lotus found out about him, and they split. Since then, we put any new boyfriends through this test, to make sure Lotus actually finds somepony who‘s faithful to her. And vice-versa, of course, she does it whenever I get close to somepony. We‘re sisters, we look after each other.”

You turn desperately to Lotus, watching as her love for you slips away. “I’m sorry,” you choke, “I really am.”

“Save it,” she blinks away a fresh wave of her tears, “This will hurt me far more than it’ll hurt you. You‘re not the stallion I‘m looking for.”

This can’t be happening! It’s all going so fast, your heart breaking, and nothing you could do to save it, “Lotus, please, no!”

“It’s over between us.” Mournfully, she raises a hoof, pointing at the door. “I don‘t think I have to tell you about your permanent spa ban either. Just… go. And never come back.”

And that’s it. Your heart lies broken due to your own foolish, lust-driven mistakes. You’d protest, if you knew you wouldn’t break down from trying to talk. With the weight of your guilt, your pain, your fault heavy in your stomach, you take the slow trot of shame out of the door, and out of their lives. Looking back towards them for the last time, one fact sticks out like a piercing thorn; You will never see Lotus’ face - or Aloe’s - ever again.

(Spoiler: Ouch, you got the bad ending. At least you’ve learned a valuable lesson; be thankful for what love you have, be it friends or something more special. Don‘t put friends’ or lover‘s emotions at risk to serve yourself, and for Celestia’s sake, don’t try to have sex with their sister.) - Crowley
