You stand there becoming lost in thought. Nearly three years have gone by since your arrival in Equestria, and your life has drastically improved. No longer do you feel like you are just drifting through each day, barely existing. Now, you have a fulfilling job, and are living in Ponyville.

After Princess Celestia graciously brought you here, it did seem a bit odd, being one of the limited number of humans living in this world of colorful talking ponies. However, it didn’t take you too long to start adapting and begin making friends.

Presently, you enjoy your job working in the Ponyville Stationery Shop. There you help your boss, the shopkeeper, provide scrolls of parchment, assorted paper, quills, ink and various other office supplies for the customers’ home or business needs. While it may seem like a simple job, the pay is good and the work is quite fulfilling.

Life in your new home has even allowed you the opportunity to make friends with a number of the ponies, which was more enjoyable than you ever expected. In fact, over time you even managed to revive your shattered love life. Following your arrival, you never would have guessed you would one day open yourself to the idea of a relationship with a pony, let alone a romantic one.

Still, as time went on you found yourself with needs and noticed that some of the local mares seemed curious and even attracted to you. The opposite was true as well, you found plenty of these ponies to be delightfully attractive. Though sadly you are still looking for that right very special somepony.

Daisy, your third pony relationship, really seemed like she would be the one. The two of you hit things off beautifully, and after dating for a few weeks you shared your first intimate night with her, and noticed your feelings for her grow stronger from then on. You always suspected she loved you, even if she never said it. And even though you felt a love growing for her, you were glad you never told her, because she ended up breaking your heart, just like the other two had. Daisy left you for a stallion she had her eye on before she met you. Though he never seemed to give her the time of day, well, until you came into the picture.

You didn’t feel any ill will toward Daisy, just very, very hurt. That’s why you were and still are grateful for your good friend, Twilight Sparkle. Yes, for over two years now, the two of you have been very good friends. You both met at the stationery shop when she came in for quills and parchment. Shortly after you two started becoming friends, you had to reign yourself in. Twilight was simply adorable and beautiful, but you began valuing her friendship, too much to risk jeopardizing it by acting on your romantic feelings for her. Besides, you didn’t think she’d give you a chance, given her busy schedule. And even if she had, what odds did you, a human, have when she had her pick of the stallions? In addition, you were also grateful to have been accepted into her group of friends. So, you just repressed your feelings for her, and cherished the bond of friendship you shared instead.

Overall it seemed like the better choice. The two of you are always there for each other, whenever things seem their worst, which is something you always treasure.

* * * *

A calming voice speaks your name, finally breaking you out of your train of thought. Your eyes refocus and you see your rippled reflection looking back at you, as you stare over the arched bridge, just outside of Ponyville. Twilight is standing with you. The two of you are out on a walk, enjoying the brisk air of February. For the moment, you both have decided to take a short breather on the bridge.

“You okay?” she asks in a mildly worried tone.

You lift your head up and turn it to glance her way. “Yeah, I’m fine, Twilight. Just lost in thought,” you reply, offering her a cheery smile.

The concern remains on her face as she adds, “Were you thinking about Daisy?”

You shake your head, “No, not really. Humph. Hard to believe it’s been over six months since we broke up.”

Twilight stands there silently for a moment, basking her violet eyes on you. “Do you still miss her?” she dares to inquire.

You scoff at the very notion and respond, “No, not for several months now. Though it’s funny you should mention Daisy.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. I saw her the other day. It turns out the stallion she left me for, got bored with her and ended up dumping her less than a month after they hooked up,” you explain. Returning your eyes to the water, you take a moment to recall one more detail from your meeting with your ex. “Apparently it’s taken her most of the past six months to work up the courage just to talk to me again. She said she really misses me and wanted to get back together.”

Twilight looks at you questioningly, “What did you tell her? You didn’t tell her “yes”, did you?” The unicorn bites her lower lip nervously, while she waits for your reply.

You return your gaze to Twilight and smile. “No,” you respond, shaking your head. “I told her that I forgave her for what happened, but I still felt too hurt to risk trusting her again. It broke my heart when she started to cry, but I couldn’t risk going down that path again,” you sigh, still feeling a little heaviness in your heart.

Twilight moves closer to you and gently places a sympathetic hoof on your shoulder. She gives you a thoughtful smile, and remarks, “I’m glad you stood up for yourself. The right choice isn’t always easy.”

“Tell me about it,” you mutter, wondering why Twilight seems so happy about your choice.

A cool wind begins to blow, making Twilight start to shiver, “Brrr, I should have worn a heavier coat.”

You stand closer to her and remove your heavier coat from over your regular coat, and place it around her. “Here you are, Twilight,” you speak kindly.

Her mouth lightly drops open and a strong blush blooms across her lavender face. She gives you a somewhat bashful smile. “Thank you,” she chimes, staring at you in a way that leaves you feeling a little funny.

Shaking your head, you check your watch and realize the time. “Hey, isn’t it about time for us to meet the others at Sugar Cube Corner?”

Twilight places a hoof over her mouth. “Oh my gosh! I almost forgot,” she gasps. “You’re right, we’d better get going.”

“Then, come on,” you urge as you both depart the bridge, slowly starting toward town. “You feeling warmer now?”

While walking closer to you, Twilight nods, “Yes, thanks again.”

“You’re very welcome,” you chirp back happily. “Oh, and sorry about spacing out earlier.”

Twilight giggles lightly, “That’s okay. I have a bad habit of doing that myself.”

Together, you both make your way to the sweet shop, eager to meet up with the rest of your friends.

* * * *

It’s been a few days since you and Twilight talked by the bridge. Since then, she has started acting more and more frustrated and seems to be under a great deal of stress. What’s more is that she won’t talk about it.

You are making your way to Carousel Boutique. Rarity has a new project she is eager to show all of you. Despite being a rather typical guy, she’s found you can offer a unique perspective on her outfits and that you have a certain knack for fashion – namely what looks good versus what looks like a total train wreck.

A smile curls up on your face as you spy Twilight standing with Applejack and Fluttershy. You are eager to greet her and the others, but just as you come into earshot, Twilight lets out an exasperated sigh.

“Ughhh! What’s keeping her? I’m sorry girls, but I just don’t have time for this, not today!” groans Twilight, as she turns around and quickly storms off.

“Hey, Twilight!” you speak warmly. Sadly, she doesn’t seem to hear you, and blows past you, on what you can only gather is a b-line for her library. You join up with the others, feeling extremely puzzled. “Do you two know what’s bothering Twilight? She’s so moody as of late,” you note, shaking your head.

“I don’t know,” whimpers Fluttershy, “I’m too afraid to ask her anymore. The other day when I asked her, she practically bit my head off.”

“Ah, know what ya mean. All Ah done was ask her how she was doing, and Twilight just gives me the cold shoulder. Something must be bugging her good,” remarks Applejack, a strong note of worry in her usually chipper voice.

You grow silent, turning to catch a final glimpse of Twilight as she turns the corner. All you can do is shake your head and sigh.

* * * *

It’s been nearly a week since you and Twilight talked by the bridge. Her moodiness hasn’t improved any, and from what you last heard from her friends, they are still having no luck finding out what’s bothering her.

Work has ended for the day, and you let out an annoyed sigh as you flop into your easy chair. For some reason your thoughts are dwelling on Twilight as of late. Even after all this time, you still have strong feelings for her. It’s still a shame that you are unable to work things out between you two. She might just be the perfect mare, but alas, she keeps a very busy schedule and you can only wonder if she’d ever be interested in romance, other than perhaps in the books she reads. Still, that fact hardly changes the way you feel about her as you place your hand over your heart.

Before you can drift any further into thought, there is a knock at your front door. Furrowing your brow, you hoist yourself from your chair and meander over to see who’s there. Twisting the knob, you open it to discover – Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are all waiting on your front porch. You look at them feeling a tad puzzled. “Hi girls. Something’s wrong…isn’t it?” you ponder, placing an inquiring hand to your chin.

Pinkie Pie silently nods her head without speaking. This leaves you feeling rather alarmed. Just what would leave the bubbly party queen at a loss for words?

Rarity sighs woefully and explains, “It’s Twilight. We’ve tried just about everything we can think of to calm her down and help her relax.”

Applejack removes her hat and scratches her head briefly. “Yeah, and all we’ve managed to do is make her even madder. All we want is fur her to be happy.”

Rainbow Dash blinks her eyes at you sincerely and succumbs with a sigh, “I’ve never seen Twilight so stressed before. We could really use your help. I don’t know what else we can try. I feel like we’ve tried everything!”

A deeply concerned look consumes Fluttershy’s normally jubilant face, leaving you feel even more worried about Twilight. She speaks your name and says, “If you don’t mind, do you…um would you…see if you can help Twilight calm down…if it’s not too much to ask.”

You smile at all of them. One thing you’ve really treasured about being friends with Twilight is that you also get along so well with her five closest friends. “Of course I’ll help. Like you five, Twilight is a very dear friend. I’ll do whatever I can,” you promise.

Rarity gives you a gracious smile. “Thank you, darling! I knew we could count on you!” she winks.

“Go give it yur best shot there partner,” replies Applejack, giving you a nod.

The others give you their words of encouragement, before departing. Then after securing your home, you head out to the library. Though as you leave your front porch, you can only wonder – if her five closest friends can’t help Twilight, what chance do you have?

* * * *

It’s around 3:30 PM when you slowly approach Twilight’s home. It’s been several days since she brushed you off at Carousel Boutique. The others said that as of late she has only been leaving her house to run brief errands or complete study-related tasks, but mostly she busies herself in the library.

Arriving at her front door, you knock three times. A few moments pass and the door opens, revealing a rather frazzled looking Twilight Sparkle on the other side. She gasps lightly, not expecting to see you. She mouths your name and says, “Oh, hi. What brings you here, today?”

“You, Twilight. Your friends and I are very concerned about you. They’ve been telling me that you seem to be under a lot of stress,” you reply in a caring voice.

Her face softens a bit as she offers you a smile. “I know, I’ve just had a lot to do as of late. Do you want to come in?” she asks.

“Yes.”

“Then follow me,” she utters, stepping inside. You follow after her and close the door behind you. As you follow her into the library of her home, Twilight glances back at you, “So why exactly are you here again?”

You do an internal facepalm, taking notice to the stacks and stacks of books neatly placed across the floor. The room is a little cluttered, and yet it’s still neatly kept. Typical Twilight, she always seems to be working in organized chaos.

Shaking your head you quickly recall her question. “The others asked that I make sure you take some time off and relax. Even I have noticed that you seem overly irritable anymore. Just what are you doing right now, anyway?” you ask throwing your arms up, stymied by the sea of books.

“Take time off? I can’t! I’m trying to organize the books for the town as well as those of my own collection. I want to pull and donate the ones that aren’t getting read, that way I can make room for new releases and the books the town and I love to read over and over again. So how can I take time off, when I have so much to do?!” she rants, going on a bit of tangent.

You give her a funny look, “And this is something you have to get done right this second? Even you must admit, it’s hard to focus on a task when you’re stressed, right?”

Twilight sets the book she had just picked up back on one of the piles. She sighs heavily and nods her head solemnly, “You’re right. I’d probably be done with this mess, if I wasn’t feeling so on edge.”

Taking a good look at her, you finally notice just how disheveled and mussed her mane and tail have become. The others are right, something must be weighing heavily on her mind.

Focusing your thoughts, you walk over to her and take another book from her, and place it on one of the piles. “Come on now,” you speak softly, “Why don’t you take the rest of the day off. This mess isn’t going anywhere.”

Twilight lets out a frustrated growl, but quickly lets her head sag as she quietly sighs, “Okay. Maybe I have been overdoing things as of late.”

You place a supportive hand on her back and walk her out of the cluttered room. “Do you want to talk about what’s bothering you? Is it some sort of test or project for the princess?” you inquire thoughtfully.

She shakes her head, “No, it’s nothing like that.” Twilight becomes silent for a moment, then she continues, “It’s nothing, really. I think I’m just overworking myself.”

“Well then, you’re in luck. I’ve got a few relaxation therapies that should help you manage this stress,” you chime with an encouraging smile.

“Really? You don’t have to do anything. I don’t want to be a bother,” Twilight responds.

“You’re never a bother, Twilight,” you declare giving her another smile.

She sighs and returns your smile. “Okay then, what should we do first?”

“Well, that sigh is a good start. Try taking some calming breaths, and we should go someplace you feel comfortable,” you suggest.

“I know just the place,” she replies, offering you her right hoof, “Follow me.”

You nod silently and follow Twilight into the far room at the end of the house. She leads you upstairs to the living room and then up the stairs to her loft. “Here we are,” she announces, standing beside her bed.

You smile, “Of course, your bedroom. A very fitting place.”

“Yep. So what are these therapies you had in mind?” she asks. “Oh yeah, you mentioned calming breaths. Let me see,” she rambles. Twilight faces you and takes a deep soothing breath in through her nose and exhales out her mouth.

“Good, good,” you utter.

She takes few more deep breaths, and ends with a smile. “Wow, I do feel a little better,” she remarks, looking at you happily. “What else should we try?” Twilight takes a seat on her bed, resting on her star and moon covered aqua blanket.

You try not to grin, but her hair just looks so unkempt, even for her. “I hope this doesn’t sound rude of me, but your mane seems to be in need of a good brushing,” you note, hoping not to upset her.

Twilight runs a hoof through her mused tresses and glances across to the mirror on her vanity. Her eyes widen. “Ewww, when did this happen?” she wonders. “You’re right, my mane could use brushed.”

You scratch the back of your head as you look over at her, and ask, “I could do it for you. That is…if you wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable.”

A jubilant smile curls up on Twilight’s lips. She gently shakes her head, “No, I don’t mind if you brush my hair. It won’t make me feel uncomfortable.”

“All right.”

“Here, let me grab my brush for...”

“Just sit there and relax, Twilight. I’ll get your brush,” you call over to her. Walking by her vanity, you reach out and claim the brush, you know to be her favorite. After slipping off your shoes, you greet her with a calming smile as you take a seat on the bed beside her.

She turns, so her gaze can meet your eyes. An expression of silent awe clings to her face, while you take a portion of her dark sapphire hair, near the streaks of purple and rose. Then very gently, you start brushing along the ends of her mane.

“It’s very sweet of you to do this,” Twilight speaks, breaking the silence. “You know, we can move a little, so we’re sitting more comfortably.”

“Okay,” you reply quietly. Letting go of her mane, you slide yourself back more toward the center of the bed’s lower end. Twilight moves back in kind and lays on her belly, draping her forelegs over your left leg. The feeling of her weight resting on you feels better than you could have dreamed. You marvel at the idea of being alone with Twilight, but sadly where can this go? All you’re here to do is help her relax, and nothing more.

Banishing your foolish thoughts, you refocus on the task at hand, picking up where you started with her mane. Gradually, you work the brush along her once frayed locks, smoothing them back to their prim and lovely style. You’re not sure if this is relaxing Twilight, but you certainly feel calm as you continue tending to her.

“How’s that feeling so far? I’m not being too rough, am I?” you ask.

“Mm-mm,” she mutters shaking her head, “It’s fine.” You could swear you hear her softly moan your name, but it’s most likely your imagination. Then she lightly utters, “This is still so nice of you.”

You smile as the brush continues its way up her mane. “I’m glad I can help. I’ve been worried about you, Twilight,” you muse in a sincere tone.

A soft giggle slips past her lips as she adjusts her forelegs, and wiggles her rump briefly, so she can un-tuck her tail and swish it contently, while you continue brushing her. Her eyes close and she exhales a calming sigh.

Twilight’s mane slowly begins to regain its elegance and beauty. As your fingers slide across its captivatingly smooth texture, you realize it’s even softer than you ever imagined. Following a few more strokes, you finish and are unable to resist caressing it tenderly with you hand.

“What are you doing?” she asks, a mild puzzlement in her voice.

“I’m sorry, Twilight, I hope you don’t mind, but I just wanted to see how your hair feels, now that I’m done. By the way it’s so soft,” you remark with delight.

She giggles again, “That’s okay. I’m glad you like it. Oh, are you ready to do my tail?”

“Sure, if you’re okay with it,” you answer.

“Of course, I am.” Twilight sits up on her flank and removes her forelimbs from your leg. She turns around and lets her tail fall across both your slightly straddled legs. You feel a mild start as she rests her rump against your left thigh. After savoring the sensation of having Twilight so close, you reach over and gingerly take her tail in your hand and start working the brush through the moderate tangles.

She sighs softly, letting her head fall against her pillow. Twilight looks back at you with rosy cheeks and almost seems to have a dreamy look in her lovely eyes. Shaking your head, you begin to think your mind is really starting to play tricks on you. It’s not like Twilight has a thing for you. Even if she did, surly she would have said so long ago, right?

Taking a deep calming breath of your own, you continue working the brush up the length of her beautiful tail, comprised of the same three lovely colors that flawlessly match her mane. As the brush begins to near the top of her tail, you make sure to mind your hands, leery should your fingers accidentally brush against her rump. The last thing you want to do is make a fool of yourself or cause Twilight any discomfort, let alone embarrassment.

A few more seconds pass and you realize you have completed brushing her tail. The hair’s texture is just as soft and silky as her mane. An accomplished smile forms on your face as you look over at her. “There you go, Twilight, all finished,” you announce.

She stretches a little bit and stifles a yawn. Sitting up, Twilight examines her freshly primmed hair and glances across to her mirror. The look and feel of both her mane and tail seems to meet with her approval. “You did a great job, thank you!” Twilight declares excitedly. She blushes slightly, and adds, “I didn’t know you had any hair styling skills.”

You chuckle at her, and shake your head, “I don’t really have any styling skills, but I did pick up a thing or two while I was with my first mare.”

Twilight’s expression diminishes a bit as she replies, “Oh, I see.”

It quickly becomes clear that you shouldn’t make any references to your past mares. Thankfully, you are able to come up with a way to lighten the mood. “So what would you like to try next? Could I interest you in a shoulder or back massage?” you offer, giving Twilight a renewed smile.

Her face perks back up. “Okay, a massage sounds nice,” she chirps. “I guess you can start with my shoulders and go from there. But, I didn’t know you knew anything about massages,” Twilight notes. You move aside and let her lay face down on her belly, resting her head on her pillow.

You kneel beside her upper back, and carefully move her mane off her shoulders. “I’m mostly a dabbler,” you remark modestly. Oddly enough, Twilight doesn’t respond, instead she sighs softly.

Placing your hands along her slender shoulders, you feel the velvety texture of her lavender fur grace your fingers. It feels heavenly to touch, while you begin working your hands along her tense muscles. “My goodness, Twilight. You sure seem to be carrying more than your share of tension up here,” you remark.

“Mmm,” Twilight moans faintly, feeling the knots in her muscles start to ease. “That feels really nice,” she mutters. “Where did you learn to do this?”

“Like I said, I’m really a novice. But I did learn a good deal from my trips to the spa. Rarity convinced me to join her on several visits. Lotus and Aloe are two very skilled ponies,” you muse.

“I know,” Twilight sighs, “I’ve been there for the occasional massage and a few dips in the mineral bath.”

You chuckle softly at her. “Well, I learned some pointers from Lotus and Aloe. It turns out they enjoy chatting with their customers, and since they started dating this one human, they really enjoy conversing with their human guests. So I asked them how they knew where to find the trouble spots, and well you get the idea,” you explain, cutting yourself off, before you end up rambling.

Twilight giggles contently, “I do.” She closes her eyes and lets out a pleasant moan, while your fingers continue their task. “Oh, that feels so good,” she sighs.

“Then I guess I don’t have to ask you if that’s okay,” you snicker.

“Nope. Just keep doing what you’re doing,” she mutters, sounding very relaxed.

You smile again, adding just a little more pressure to her shoulders, trying to loosen those deep knots from her muscles. Another soothing moan suggests you’re still on target. “I think we’re getting there. Just how long has it been since your last massage?” you inquire.

She places a hoof to her chin and ponders, “Well, uh…I guess it’s been about five or six months.” Twilight giggles again, and adds, “Time sure has a way of flying, even when you don’t realize it.”

“That’s a fact,” you mutter.

“Mmm, you can move to my back, if you want,” Twilight speaks softly.

“Okay,” you reply, slowly moving your hands from her shoulders and start on her upper back. The tension there is almost as bad – making you even happier to be of service.

“Yeah,” you hear her all but whisper, “That’s nice.” Twilight turns her head on her pillow and sighs. “Do you mind going a little lower? I’m feeling some pain further down.”

“Of course,” you utter back. Your hands slowly trail down her shapely back, while you keep savoring the sensation of her fur against your hands. Gently, you begin massaging the new trouble area, hoping to ease her pain. “Is this the spot that’s bugging you?”

“No, it’s down a little further,” she speaks lazily.

“All right.” You slip your hands down, closer to the small of her back, coming very close to her flanks and her cutie marks. As you begin massaging her lower back, you notice Twilight whimper softly, letting out a few more sighs. “Ah-ha, sounds like I got it that time,” you grin victoriously.

“Not quite,” you hear her call back. “You’re almost there.”

You look over at Twilight questioningly, even though her eyes are still closed. “Twilight, if I go any lower, I’ll be massaging your butt,” you reply sheepishly.

“So, massage my butt, then…I don’t mind,” she replies, in a silky voice.

While you’d certainly love to indulge her, it sounds too good to be true. You momentarily take your hands off of her. Twilight opens her eyes and looks back at you fondly, as you continue giving her a puzzled look, “Is there something you should tell me?”

She sighs heavily, and replies, “Yes… and there is no easy way to say this.” Twilight pauses for a moment, before giving you a very sincere look. “I want you,” she answers, a strong yearning in her voice.

Your eyes widen in disbelief. Could she really have just said that? “Twilight…do you really mean that?” you ask, thinking you must be dreaming at this point.

She sits up and turns around to face you. Inching her way over to you, she places her hooves on your shoulders. Without a word, she comes face to face with you. Her warm breath pools along your face and the captivating scent of her perfume meets your nose, causing your heart to beat faster. Twilight leans in and kisses you tenderly. You quickly join her in closing your eyes, astonished that this is actually happening.

Her lips feel beyond amazing. There is a strong fiery passion behind them, and at the same time a sincerity and gentleness, one that you’ve always noticed in Twilight. Cautiously, you place your arms around her, checking to see if she’ll reject your embrace. To your delight, she accepts your arms and gives you a pleasant moan as a reward, pressing her lips harder to yours.

A few moments pass and the kiss ends. Twilight gazes at you half-lidded, “Does that…answer your question?”

“Twilight,” you softly gasp. “I didn’t know you felt this way. How…when?”

She gives you a brief frown, and groans, “Do we have to talk, now?”

You shake your head, “No, but I didn’t know you…”

“What? Thought of you as more than a friend?” she asks. You silently nod. “Of course I do,” Twilight hangs her head and sighs, “I just never had the chance to tell you before. That’s why I don’t want to talk about this right now. I’ve wasted too much time in the past talking, and later regretted the things I missed out on. And…” she grows silent for a moment, before continuing, “You’re finally single again.” Tears begin to form in her eyes. “I don’t want to miss another chance to be with you. I couldn’t bear it, not again.”

You hear yourself gasp, thrilled by her words. It’s more than you ever thought possible! The warm feeling in your heart returns as it final begins beating, just for her. “Twilight, I’m so glad to hear you say that.”

“You are?” she asks, blinking her watery eyes.

“Yes…you don’t know how long I’ve wished you’d say something like this or just how much I wanted to be with you…but I never dreamed you’d want me, too.”

“Well I do, and I have…for what feels like so long,” she yearns. Words begin to fail her as Twilight holds you tightly in her hooves. You place your arms around her, and finally can experience what it’s like to hold her close. As you begin caressing her mane, she starts to sob quietly. Her tears begin unhinging your very core. Finally, you no longer have to repress the feelings you’ve held for her all this time.

“Twilight,” you whimper, squeezing her tenderly, noticing your eyes begin to water with freshly formed tears. “I’ve wanted to tell you how I feel for so long, but I thought you wouldn’t be interested.”

“I am, so why didn’t you tell me or at least try?” she asks in between gentle sobs, pulling back to look deep into your eyes.

You sigh quietly and respond, “We started becoming really good friends, I didn’t want to risk spoiling that, plus you’re always so busy with your studies…”

She hugs you again, pulling you close as a few more sobs slip past her mouth. “I guess I hid my feelings too well,” she sniffs.

Tenderly, you run your arm across her back. Then it dawns on you, all the times when your relationships with those other mares ended. “Oh, Twilight. How didn’t I see it…all those times you were there for me, after those other ponies broke my heart.”

“Yeah…I wanted to tell you each time…but it just didn’t feel right, approaching you after you were heartbroken,” she whimpers.

You squeeze her in your arms, “Well, I have you now, and I won’t ever let you go, Twilight.”

Twilight manages to speak your name, before she starts crying harder, burying her head on your shoulder. You tenderly caress her mane, knowing that she’s shedding tears of joy.

A couple minutes pass and she calms, pulling back to look at you with glassy eyes. You give her a joyful smile, to which she gives you one of her own. “So, does this mean I can finally be your mare?”

You chuckle, partially crying at the same time, “Yes, you…can. I want you to be my mare.”

Placing your arms around her neck, you kiss Twilight very deeply. She closes her eyes as you each notice some lingering warm tears roll down her cheeks. You can still feel the intensity in her lips, while she happily returns your kiss. The two of you lay down on her bed, resting your heads along her pillows, continuing to share your tender lip embrace, moaning softly for each other.

Your mouths separate, leaving you to gaze at each other, while remaining embraced. Thoughtfully, you help her dry her eyes as she smiles back at you. “You know, we’re already in my bed. How about losing some of those clothes, then we can try some other relaxation therapies,” Twilight winks, looking at you playfully.

Wondering if she’s somehow reading your mind, you chuckle, “All right. Oh, but what about Spike?”

She smiles at you and kisses your lips. “Don’t worry about him. I gave Spike the day off this morning, so I could work alone. He said he was going to spend the day with Rarity,” Twilight replies, running her hoof along your covered chest, giving you a seductive look. “Now, why don’t I help you with those pants.”

You grin at her, watching her horn light up with a shimmery raspberry glow. Twilight uses her magic to carefully unbuckle your belt, and then she slowly lowers your zipper and finally undoes the button. Promptly, you slide your pants off and give them a swift pitch to the corner, where you left your shoes.

With your pants out of the way, you remove your long sleeve shirt and send it to join them. After slipping off your socks, you prepare to take off your underwear, but Twilight stops you. “What is it, Twilight?”

“Why don’t you leave those on,” she grins playfully.

Placing your arms back around her, you smile, “All right. So you do have a naughty side, don’t you.”

“Maybe,” she giggles. Then, securing her hooves around you, Twilight’s face softens and she sighs, “I finally get to hold you.”

You secure your arms around her, pulling her close against you. “Yeah, and I get to hold you,” you whisper.

“Mm-hmm,” she nods, nuzzling her cheek against yours.

You sigh softly, half-mesmerized from the velvety texture of her cheek. “Twilight,” you utter quietly. Reaching up, you run your fingers through her silky mane.

She gazes at you with her violet eyes, as you continue stroking her mane. Twilight coos softly, adjusting her head along the pillow. “Make love to me…even if it’s too soon to say we’re in love yet,” she yearns, running her hoof along your chest.

Her words bring an excited smile to your face. You give what she said some thought, and while you feel a love for Twilight, you suspect she’s right that it may be a little soon to say you’re both in love. Either way, the idea of finally being deeply intimate with her, makes your heart begin racing with exhilaration. You softly stroke her cheek with the back of your hand. “I’d be delighted. Hmm…you know, I really want you,” you utter back softly.

Her hoof slowly circles your bare chest, while she stares at you with her bedroom eyes. “Well, you have me, so, what do you want to do with me…first?” she grins playfully.

You take a moment to let your eyes gaze upon her beauty. Then gingerly, you place your right hand against her neck, and slowly slide your fingers along the length of her body, trailing all the way to her flank. Twilight shivers from your touch, while you retract your hand, placing your palm affectionately along her cheek again. “I want to touch you all over…and savor every moment, being with you for the first time,” you muse, bringing an even bigger smile to her face.

She softly brushes her hoof along your cheek, gazing at you lovingly. “I’d love to feel your touch all over me…and I want to enjoy every moment of our first time together, as well,” Twilight utters quietly. She moves her left hind leg against your right leg, and delicately sweeps it across you. The feeling of her soft fur against your bare skin fills you with a feeling like no other. You let your head sink deeper into one of her bed pillows. Twilight giggles as she returns her hoof to your chest, “I’ve always wanted to try this with one of my hind legs, but I’ve only had a few lovers,” she admits, blushing from the slight embarrassment.

You give her an endearing glance, and reply, “There’s nothing wrong with having only a few lovers. Ahh, and that thing you’re doing with your leg is wonderful.”

The smile on her face shows no signs of fading. Her eyes partially close as she asks, “So, where do you want to touch me first?”

A sly smile forms on your face, before you lean over and plant a kiss along her neck. Twilight gasps very softly from your initial act, as you bring your lips to her left ear and whisper, “Lay on your back.”

She shivers from your hushed words and happily does as you ask. Now on her back, she turns her head and continues looking at you fondly, eagerly anticipating your next move. “I’m waiting,” she giggles.

You chuckle warmly at her, sliding a little closer to her. First, you place your hand on her cheek and kiss her lips tenderly. Before you can pull away, you feel her hooves ensnare you, pulling you closer to her as she adds to your kiss, emboldened by your passion for her. Your lips separate as your combined breathing is the only thing audible in her room. The affectionate look remains on your face, while you place your hand on her chest, slowly petting its angelically soft fur. Twilight sighs contently as your hand moves to her belly, where you begin rubbing her delicately, causing her to sigh again. You focus your eyes on her violet jewels, enjoying the expression on her face as your hand moves on.

You eagerly want to touch her feminine folds, but you can’t resist the urge to tease both Twilight and yourself, stopping your hand shy of her groin and moving it to her tail. Softly, you stroke the silky texture of its lengthy tresses, finding this to be more satisfying than you expected. As your hand leaves her tail, you finally place it just above her marehood. Slowly you trace your fingers against her crescent, captivated by its heavenly curves.

Twilight closes her eyes and moans quietly from your soothing touch. “Oh, my,” she sighs, “That feels…mmm.” Her words collapse as she feels your fingers stroke her mound tenderly. She gasps and moans softly, as you slip two fingers into her and begin massaging her wet inner walls. “That feels…so…so good,” Twilight sighs, feeling over elated from the motions of your loving digits. Her tail flips against you, while she begins contently brushing it across your bare legs.

You quickly notice Twilight’s hoof flailing, until she finds your chest, where she begins brushing it against you. A faint chuckle leaves your mouth, while you continue to delight in pleasuring her. “I’m glad you’re enjoying this,” you utter quietly.

“Oh, yes,” Twilight moans in a calming tone, leaning her head further against her pillow.

“Do you want me to stop?”

“No…well, just for a moment,” she replies.

“Hmm?” you mumble, pausing and withdrawing your fingers.

Twilight regains her composure and opens her eyes. She carefully turns back onto her side, facing you. An adoring smile curls up on her lips as her eyes rest on your face. “There. I didn’t want you to feel left out,” she explains. A seductive look falls across her adorable face as she adds, “I want to touch you.” Twilight rubs her left hoof along your crotch, and through the fabric of your underwear, she can feel the bulge beneath them.

“Then…by all means, Twilight,” you respond, placing your left hand on her right cheek. Leaning over, you share another kiss with her, feeling her push back briefly, before you end it.

A rosy glow forms on her lavender cheeks as her horn lights up. You feel her magic softly tug at your underwear, driving them downward, freeing your firm spire. A giddy look forms on Twilight’s face as she glances down and enjoys looking at your manhood. “Oh my, a human’s looks quite different…than a stallion’s,” she remarks. At first you aren’t sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Your thoughts quickly erode to nothing as you feel her hoof brush against the tip of your shaft.

Twilight begins moving her hoof along the length of your member. You enjoy every motion and are quickly able to put your mind at ease. Realizing her new position has her at a different angle, you look down and partake in a long stare at her enticing curves. Her crescent’s appearance is just as lovely as it felt to touch. You moan softly from the delicate caress of Twilight’s hoof along the smooth underside of your masculinity. Your eyes close for a moment, while you partially lose yourself in her tender touch. It’s even more wondrous than you imagined, and you are able to feel ever ounce of her affection in each gentle stroke.

“Twilight, that feels amazing,” you sigh.

Feeling calm and enraptured with pleasure, you open your eyes and return your hand to her crease. Your fingers gently rub her slit, bringing a smile to your face as you feel the dampness of her growing arousal coat your fingers. Eagerly, you slide your two fingers back into her still hungry marehood, tenderly massaging her again.

Twilight gasps and moans contently enjoying your pleasuring motions. “This is wonderful,” she utters in between gasps.

You look over at her and together you share a series of short kisses. “I know what you mean,” you breathe contently.

Twilight continues stroking you with her hoof, making you feel wave after wave of bliss shiver up your back. At the same time, she enjoys an equally heavenly feeling as your fingers continue their affectionate motions, making her feel like she’s melting inside.

“Mmm, this is so good. Do you mind…if…we continue this a bit longer?” she asks, continuing to softly moan and sigh.

“Uhh…of course not,” you grunt faintly, savoring the wonderful tingling sensation around your loins.

“Good…a lover who enjoys foreplay,” she whispers, unable to shake off a series of slightly louder moans.

“Yes, I love foreplay…especially with you,” you manage to speak feverishly, feeling your body quake under the swift but loving motions of her hoof.

Twilight locks you into a heated kiss of sheer passion. You place your free hand around her neck, and push against her lips, eliciting a series of muffled moans from her. She places her other hoof around you, pulling you closer. You moan with her as the pleasure of both your kiss and her touch send you to the pinnacles of ecstasy. Feeling a desire to bond even deeper with Twilight, you gently poke your tongue against her lips. Following another soothing moan, she parts her mouth and swirls her tongue with yours, allowing your kiss to become even more passionate.

The heavenly whimpers and trembles of her body suggest she’s feeling just as amazing as you are. An intense heat seems to be rising up from within your body, adding joyous savor to your time with Twilight.

Finally, your lips break, and your touching halts, as you both are gasping lightly for air. The two of you stare happily into the other’s eyes, sharing another loving smile.

“Are you ready to move on? I am,” she replies, her desire for you still present in both her words and her eyes.

“Yes, my beautiful Twilight,” you respond affectionately, adding to the blush on her cheeks. “Is there any special position you prefer or want to try?”

She shakes her head, and answers, “Not really…I just want to be with you.”

You sigh feeling another pulse of joy ripple out from your heart. “Twilight,” you whisper softly. “Well, did you want to be on the bottom or perhaps…the top?”

A seductive smile creeps up onto her sweet face. “You know, I’ve always wanted to try being on top,” she admits.

You run the back of your hand across her silky mane, “Okay, I’d like that…very much.”

Twilight giggles at you, then she asks, “If I recall correctly, aren’t there a few ways to do being on top? There’s laying down, sitting up, facing toward or away form each other, and…” You promptly cut her off, surprising her with another loving kiss. She sighs softly, and seems like she’s almost melting from the passion pouring out from you. Her hooves surround you as the kiss continues for a few more moments. You both pull back a bit as she stares half-lidded at you. “But, whatever you’d like is fine with me,” she whispers.

You smile at her. “We can start sitting up, and I want to face you, so I can look into your beautiful eyes,” you muse.

Twilight sighs in your caring embrace as the two of you slowly sit up, around the center of her bed. You carefully part your legs into a ‘v’, allowing her to straddle her gorgeous hind legs around you. The initial feeling of her weight and proximity to you is even more wondrous than your grandest fantasy. The smile remains on your face as she rests her hooves on your shoulders. Twilight leers at you lustfully and adoringly, bringing her loins closer to your own. You momentarily place your hands on her shoulders, tenderly squeezing them, before sliding them down to her flanks.

A shiver rolls up your spine as you feel Twilight’s marehood tickle the top of your spire. Then tenderly, you push up against her delicate folds, parting the way as she lowers herself onto you. You join Twilight in gasping softly from the enticing sensation of your merger. She moans blissfully from the feeling of having you inside her.

The two of you enjoy one more look into each other’s eyes. Twilight lovingly says your name, while you stroke her mane.

“Twilight,” you whisper affectionately, just as she begins moving on you.

Your secure your hands on her cutie marks, and are delighted by the velvety texture of her fur under your fingers. Twilight gasps and moans a little louder as she starts to add some more speed to your heavenly union.

The feeling of being bonded to her is like a long awaited dream come true. The initial pleasure alone is wondrous beyond words. You softly grip her flanks and guide her movements, thrilled to add the strength of your arms to this rapturous moment.

Twilight adds even more speed as she begins to moan tenderly, showing you how happy she is to be with you. Your mind begins to grow hazy from the intense level of pleasure storming across your body. You keep your eyes focused on Twilight, while she looks back at you, just as devotedly. A strong ripple of bliss causes her to close her eyes and drift her head back, while she moans for you even more, becoming a victim to the throes of passion.

Your can feel a powerful tingling building up in your loins, augmenting your bliss even more. Twilight moans again and starts gasping, only you can tell she sounds a little fatigued at the same time. Wanting this to be as pleasurable for her as possible, you decide to help burden some of the effort. Moving your hands from her flanks, you place them around her back and pull her down with you. She adjusts her hind legs, as your hands resume their previous position on her thighs. Adding even more of your arm strength, you help guide her actions as her hips resume their heavenly bucking.

A few moments pass and you notice Twilight seems a bit rejuvenated form the minor change in your position. Her motions have begun speeding up again and her adorable squeaks and whimpers are becoming more frequent, along with her breathing. In fact, you notice your own breath has greatly increased, along with the building tension in your manhood.

Twilight manages to open her eyes to look into yours - causing you both to share a brief but loving kiss. She gasps again, letting out a bunch of louder moans. Her breath is really beginning to grow short as her hips continue moving vigorously against you, guided copiously by your hands.

Her body trembles as she lets out a few more whimpers, until finally, she slightly arches her back and lets out a long heavenly moan. You feel a delightful dampness wash against your masculinity as she continues to gasp and moan with less restraint. Her endearing noises push you over the edge as a strong wave of pleasure claims you. Twilight lets out another loving moan, just as you join her moaning and at last peak, bursting several times inside her. You hold her tightly in your arms as both of you tremble from the overwhelming pleasure and gasp heavily for air.

Several minutes pass, and the two of you begin to breathe more calmly. Twilight slides off of you, as you turn to face each other. You place your arm across her pillow, resting it near her head. She smiles affectionately at you, placing her hoof on your arm. In turn, you place your other hand on her shoulder, caressing her very tenderly.

She softly whispers your name and sighs, “That was wonderful.”

You return her smile and gently caress the hoof touching your arm, holding it tightly. “That was heavenly, Twilight,” you remark, bringing her hoof to your lips, softly kissing it.

Twilight blushes, giggling softly from your caring gesture. “I feel very relaxed,” she utters with a dreamy sigh.

You stroke her silky mane, and speak tenderly, “I’m glad.” Then something dawns on you. “Twilight, was your stress somehow related to your feelings for me?” you wonder.

Her blush deepens a little, then she finally answers, “Yes.”

“It makes sense now. Though you did take me by surprise when you said you wanted me and first kissed me,” you admit, while smiling back at her.

Again Twilight blushes. “Yeah, I know that was a rather bold move for me…but things were starting to feel like they always do. Several months had passed since your last break-up, and usually just as I go to tell you how I feel, you tell me you’ve started seeing somepony else,” she explains.

“Oh, Twilight…”

“I just didn’t want to let you get away, again. So I figured I had nothing to lose by taking a chance. Even if I did come on a little strong,” Twilight notes, letting out another sigh.

Your hand continues caressing her smooth locks. “It’s all right, Twilight. I’m glad you took that chance. Now, we can finally be together. And I’m sorry, I never told you how I felt,” you apologize.

Twilight smiles and kisses you gently on the lips. Then basking her violet eyes at you, she replies, “There’s no need to apologize. We both made some mistakes, but at least things are finally looking up. Hmm, just when I thought our chance was about to pass…”

“Yeah,” you utter. Then you think of a great idea for the evening. “Say, Twilight.”

“Yes,” she mumbles, nuzzling against your chest.

“Would you like to go out to dinner this evening. I’ve always wanted to share a romantic dinner with you,” you express sincerely.

“I’d love that,” she chirps happily. Then she lets out the most adorable little yawn, “Oh my, I guess you can see that I don’t have sex all that often.”

You chuckle warmly at her, before yawning yourself, “You’re not alone. Well, it has been a while, for me anyway. Do you want to take a nap? Then we can head out for dinner.”

Twilight nuzzles even closer to you, sweeping her tail across your legs. “That sounds wonderful.”

“Good,” you whisper, cuddling close to her. “I guess we should get up, so you can turn down the sheets.”

“Yeah, but we can snuggle again, once we’re under the covers,” she winks at you.

Smiling back at her, you pull away from her and briefly stand. Twilight does the same as she uses her magic to turn down the sheets. The two of you lay back down, and before she can use her powers, you pull the covers over both of you. An even more cheerful smile spreads over her face as Twilight giggles at you, putting you totally at ease.

“Thank you,” she speaks softly, rubbing her cheek against yours.

“Anytime, my sweet Twilight,” you reply, sharing her loving gesture.

The two of you snuggle for a little while longer, then you both yawn, feeling sleepier. You place your arms around her and hold her close. Twilight brings her hooves to rest against your chest, and gently bumps her left hind leg against your right leg.

“I’ve always dreamed of sleeping in bed with you,” she sighs, sounding even more relaxed.

“Twilight…” you manage to whisper, giving her one last squeeze, before you both nod off, and begin napping peacefully.
