In The Comfort of Her Majesty

Thunder checked his alarm clock for the third time that morning: 8:57 A.M. 'Alright, all groomed up. Time to get the princess.' he thought proudly. He trotted out of his chambers and up the stairs to Celestia's door. As he stood outside her room, his anxieties came creeping up on him. He breathed deeply and attempted to calm his nerves. 'Now remember, this is just a day out with a friend. Whatever happens, happens. Just treat her nice and have a good time.'

He then gave the door a firm knocking. "Celestia? It's me, Thunder." he called out.

"Just a moment. I'm almost done." she called back.

The consort waited patiently outside the door, his wings rising every now and then in anticipation. A few moments later, the door opened to reveal the princess dressed for the day out. Instead of her usual regal attire, a small ivory band wrapped around her neck while her hooves were bare. No crown sat atop her head, but a simple grey sunhat. Her ethereal mane and tail had taken up their multicolor hue though and waved gently in the air.

Thunder was taken aback at, even when clad in casual attire, how radiant and beautiful the princess could truly be.

"Good morning, Thunder. Ready for our day out?" she inquired.

Thunder quickly shook his head and looked back up at her. "Y-Yeah. You're looking good."

"Thank you. It's very rare that I feel comfortable dressing like this." Celestia quickly looked over the pegasus and smiled warmly. You're looking quite dashing yourself. I like your long mane."

Thunder's eyes rolled to the right as he looked at his mane. Its silver strands now extended behind his neck and almost touched his shoulders. "Thanks. In the past, I would usually cut it short for work. But honestly, I kinda like it like this."

"You should keep it like that. It suits you well." Celestia turned around and opened the balcony door. "Shall we?"

"After you, your highness." he responded. The two trotted out onto the balcony and took flight over the castle walls. After a minute or two, they landed on an empty street and began to trot down it.

As they went down the road, the ponies about town looked at the duo with curiosity, murmuring comments in hushed tones. "I think we're drawing some attention." Thunder whispered to the princess.

"Don't worry. As far as anyone is concerned, we're just two government officials touring the city." she whispered back.

The blue pegasus could feel the onlookers' gaze on his coat, small goosebumps beginning to form beneath his fur. "I guess. Just not used to this much attention..."

Celestia looked up and saw the bright summer sky, a few high flying clouds dotting the horizon . "Nice weather we're having today."

Thunder looked up as well and analyzed the airspace above with a critical eye. "I suppose. Sunny, not too hot, humidity good." His attention turned to a cloud tilted slightly to its right side. "That cloud's angled all wrong."

"What do you mean?" Celestia inquired.

The ex-weather pony pointed at the could in question. "Well, see how its leaning? If a big gust of air blew through, it would tumble end over end and probably fly halfway across town. If its loaded, then it could start up and really cause some havoc. Somepony really needs to level it out before something happens."

"I see. Quite the observant weather pony you are." she replied with a smile.

"Eh, I try." He replied with one of his own.

As they walked Thunder’s mind turned to visions of the past, and one memory in particular brought a sparkle to his eye. "You know, when I was around five years old, I remember playing outside with my friends when this really big set of storms came close to Cloudsdale. All of the others were scared out of their minds, but I just watched the clouds roll by. The power, the rain, the way that they moved; it was like looking at a painting or listening to a symphony. I knew then and there that I wanted to be a weather pony. My parents even took me out on a few jobs with them from time to time."

"Inspiration is a powerful thing."

"That it is, Celestia. That it is."

The two continued to trot through Canterlot, taking in the sights and sounds of the city as they did so. As the progressing sun reached high noon, the consort's stomach growled out its want of nourishment, causing him to look up at his companion with need. "So... what would you like for lunch?" he inquired.

"Let's see...OH! I know this nice little restaurant on the east side of town that I haven't been to yet. I've wanted to try it for quite a while." she replied.

"Alright then. Lead the way." The two made their way towards the east end of town until they reached a small green building enclosed in a white picket fence. A small sign hung on the gate leading into the restaurant: The Canterlot Bistro.

"Here we are. Doesn't this place look nice?" asked Celestia.

Thunder took in the building's humble construction and felt at ease. "It does actually." he replied.

The two made their way inside and up to the front counter. The dining room was completely empty, say for a few ponies in vests sitting patiently at the bar. Instantly, the yellow earth pony mare manning the register quickly galloped around and stood in front of them.

"Y-Your highness! W-What brings you here today?!" she managed to squeak out.

"Lunch. We would like a table for two please." replied the sun princess politely.

"O-Of course! Right this way." The mare then grabbed two menus out of a wooden holster and lead the two towards the back of the bistro. Her attention soon turned to the blue pegasus accompanying the princess around. "U-Um, if you don't mind me asking your highness, who's that with you?" she whispered to Celestia.

"This is Thunder Shock, my new national weather adviser." the alicorn gently replied.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." he said to the hostess.

Realizing she had committed some faux pas but still not sure what it was, the hostess desperately attempted to smooth over the situation as they neared a large wooden table. "Of course he is! And may I say how honored we are to have such esteemed guests with us!" She then sat the menus on the table and motioned the pair to the cushions sitting in front of them. "Please have a seat. Your waiter will be with you shortly."

The hostess quickly dashed off, leaving the pair to take their places at the table. They quickly glanced over their menus, marveling at the variety of seafood, salads, and pastas available. A few moments later, a tan unicorn waiter appeared from a white door in the back and trotted up to the table.

"Good afternoon. Are we ready to order?" he asked as he pulled out a small pen and pad from his pocket.

Celestia politely cleared her throat as she looked over the menu. "I will have...a large house salad with raspberry vinaigrette, a bowl of clam chowder, and a glass of water please."

The waiter quickly jotted down the order on the pad. "And for you sir?"

Thunder took a last look at the menu as he spoke. "Um. I'll have...a bowl of spaghetti, some garlic bread, and...do you have any tea?"

"Yes we do."

"Great. A small cup please."

"Thank you. Your order will be ready shortly." The waiter grabbed both menus from the table and hurried through the white door.

With everything now quiet, Thunder turned his attention back to his companion. "You know, I don't know what surprises me more. The fact that you would eat in a place like this, or that you only ordered soup and a salad."

"Just because I'm a princess, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the simple things every once in a while." replied Celestia. She then took a quick look around and leaned in closer to the consort. "Besides, I'd rather not eat all of the food they have. It would be rude."

Thunder could only giggle at the cheekiness of his companion. "You're something else, Tia."

"What did you say?" she inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"Come again?"

"You called me Tia."

The pegasus' heart began to beat loudly. "I did? I-I'm sorry. I-"

"It's alright. You can call me Tia." she replied with a warm smile.

"Oh! Okay…good." said the consort, his heart coming back under control. A few minutes later, the waiter reappeared carrying a large circular tray of food and utensils on his back. His horn flared and carefully moved each dish to its appropriate place on the table. His work done, he bowed and headed back to the kitchen.

Celestia's horn flared as she enveloped her fork in her magic and began to eat. "So, how have things been with you?" she said while levitating a piece of salad towards her.

'Keep calm, keep it casual.' "Good. I've been reading the new 'Daring Do' book, almost finished it. I talked to Sky when I was out the other day. He's going insane for being on park duty so many times." he said while biting off a piece of bread.

"Really?"

"Yeah. He was begging me to use my authority to end his suspension. Poor guy. He's really not that bad when you get to know him." Thunder replied while taking a sip of tea.

"I see. You seem to care for him a lot."

"Well, Sky has always been looking out for me ever since I started out as a weather pony. In the beginning, when we were paired together, he would always double check everything, tell me I was doing a good job. Heck, I lived with the guy for two years until I saved enough to get my own place. He's the closest thing to a big brother I have."

The princess simply nodded and lifted a spoonful of chowder into her mouth. The two continued to eat and talk until all that was left were empty plates and warm hearts.

The waiter quickly trotted back over to the table, slightly shaking as he did so. "Was everything to your liking?" he inquired, waiting with trepidation for a response.

"Quite so. How much is the check?" inquired Celestia.

"Oh, your meal is on the house. We thank you for your patronage. Please come again."

"Thank you very much." said the solar alicorn. The waiter bowed politely and quickly trotted back to the kitchen. The princess then turned her attention back to Thunder, a wry grin on her face. "This always happens when I eat out. I'll be sure to send them a 'donation' later."

"Good. Let's get going then...Tia." said the consort.

Celestia’s answering smile was warm and genuine, and Thunder felt a jolt of pleasure at the casual intimacy of the exchange. The pair got up from the table and trotted back onto the streets, their stomachs full and their spirits high.

The afternoon sun was hanging in the western horizon, starting its trek down the mountains. In the sky above the castle, the two outgoing ponies were flying towards the princess' balcony.

They made their landing and trotted inside, Celestia contently sighing as she did so. "Thank you for the day out Thunder. I really enjoyed spending time with you."

As the princess made her way further into the room, Thunder stood at the balcony doorway and watched the way she moved, her body now glowing in the afternoon sun's rays. 'Dear sweet Faust is she beautiful.' he thought as he continued to look at her, a sweet and gentle longing growing within him.

The warmth of his reaction to her gave him a surge of confidence as he realized that he truly did wish to please the lovely princess. Taking a step forward, a slight blush on his cheeks, he called out to her, "You know, our day doesn't HAVE to end right now..."

Surprised at Thunder’s sudden boldness, Celestia turned to face him. “…what do you mean?” she said carefully, not quite letting the hope in her heart show in her voice.

“Well,” Thunder replied, fighting back his old fears, “if there was something else you might wish of me, I wouldn’t mind...I mean, I would be honored...”

The sun princess blushed lightly and almost laughed at herself; it had been so long since she’d felt this giddy. Raising an eyebrow slightly, she stepped closer to the pegasus, her gaze intent but her voice quiet. “Thunder, are you asking me…”

She was so close that he caught her scent as he inhaled to respond, and even as part of him reeled at how good she smelled, he managed to breathe out, “Yes... if you want to, of course...”

Celestia stared at the handsome stallion a moment longer, wanting him but needing to be sure of his desire. The honest yearning in his eyes made her breath catch, and almost before she knew she was doing it she closed the distance between them and caught Thunder’s lips in a kiss. Chaste at first, it warmed quickly, and neither of them could tell whose tongue first teased the other’s into a gentle dance.

As the passion between the two grew, Celestia’s mane gradually transitioned from its multicolored hues to a simple shade of pink that fell softly over her shoulders. Her tail soon followed, draping over her flanks, a slight shiver rolling through her as its weight brushed over her warming slit. After a long and pleasurable few minutes, she unlocked herself from him and whispered in his ear. "Let me get ready."

Thunder caught his breath and whispered back, “Of course…Tia”.

Celestia blushed again at the familiar name and kissed the pegasus’ cheek. She quickly doffed her ivory band and her hat, setting them in a drawer. She then trotted over to the center of the room and flared her horn, the doors locking and drapes falling over the windows. While she was working, her tail instinctively began to swish from side to side. Thunder was hypnotized by the motion and what it almost revealed, and with the tingle of her lips still on his he felt himself getting stiffer by the second.

Her preparations complete, the princess climbed gracefully onto the bed and lay down, folding her wings. She looked back at him, her gaze drawn to the evidence of his reaction to her. Warmed and flattered, she looked up into his eyes with a small, knowing smile that made her own desire plain.

As he contemplated the sight before him, Thunder’s wings began to extend and point towards the ceiling. He brought them to his sides with a precise snap that sent a small gust of wind blowing through the room. 'NO! I will NOT let that happen again! Calm. Relax. No judgment.' he told himself. He took a deep breath and let it out, then hopped into the bed and settled himself next to his royal bed partner.

"Um...If you don't mind, I'd like to...try a few things out for myself..." said Thunder gently.

"Very well, my consort." she replied, her voice soft and inviting.

Taking the lead, Thunder brought his lips to hers again, his tongue darting out playfully to dance with hers once more. The heat of their kiss spread through him and after a few minutes he caught his breath and addressed the princess. "O...OK. F-flip onto your back."

Celestia smiled a bit at his hesitant command, then complied and rolled over, her underside exposed to the wanton stallion. He climbed up onto her chest and brought his head down to gently kiss her again. 'Alright. Treat her nice... make sure that she's enjoying herself. Go slow... no rushing...' he reminded himself.

Thunder began to slowly nuzzle Celestia’s neck, breathing in her sweet scent, which evoked visions of a summer rain and sunflowers in his mind. He then moved down her torso, planting small kisses on her shoulders, then her chest. He paused as he reached her belly, then brought his hooves to her sides and tenderly massaged her body. He smiled as her hooves made their way down his back and onto his flank, slowly rubbing his cutie marks. Small moans escaped from the pair as they continued to massage and explore each other’s bodies.

"How...how's this?" he asked as his hooves circled around her sides again.

"Good...good." she replied, her voice noticeably higher than before.

The outside world seemed to fade away as Thunder continued his work, the warmth of the princess' body becoming his entire focus. His stallionhood continued to harden, sliding against the smooth flesh of Celestia's belly while he moved. When the princess started gasping softly at the touch of his hooves and hardness, he made his way down her stomach and toward her flank.

"OK... turn back over now." he told her quietly.

The princess obeyed and flipped back onto her belly. She twitched her tail aside and hiked her hips up eagerly, her rear now accessible to her consort. She trembled slightly as he mounted her, a whispered ‘Yes...’ escaping her as his grip settled. He glanced down to be sure of his aim and blushed to see her folds reddened and moist from his attentions. As he maneuvered his hips to enter her, her marehood parted briefly in a simple wink of anticipation.

'Wow...she really wants me.' he thought in amazement, his eyes widening at the sight. 'Well, if her majesty wishes...'

Thunder touched the now glistening tip of his erection against her moist slit, a squeak coming from both him and Celestia at the contact. She moved her hips to meet him, and he pressed inside her, a gasp coming from the princess as she felt his size. With a final smooth motion their hips met, and he paused there, the feel of her surrounding him bringing a small cry from her throat. He began pulling back and thrusting deep in a smooth, steady rhythm. As she rocked back and forth with him, Celestia’s cries grew louder as her passion built.

"T...Tia...are...are you...OK?" he said as he came in for another thrust.

"I...I'm fine...Keep...keep going..." she replied, her wings fluttering giddily.

'Alright. Let's...let's mix things up a bit.' Thunder began to swirl his hips as he moved inside her, his stallionhood touching every part of her. For what seemed like a small eternity, all that existed in the world was him, his princess, and the growing ecstasy they were creating. 'Wow…I...I never knew...that being with a mare...could feel this good...maybe...'

As he withdrew, ready to thrust again, he felt his tip rub against a slightly rougher spot in her otherwise smooth walls. Celestia’s eyes shot wide open as she let out a small scream. He stopped his thrusting immediately, his face nearly slack in sheer dread. "Celestia! Are you alright?! Oh sweet Faust, am I hurting you?!" he called out.

"NO! No...It...it's just...that spot...ooooh…" she moaned lustfully as she continued to move against him.

Relieved, Thunder began to thrust again, paying careful attention so he could find that spot again. Moments later he found the telltale texture and slowed his movements to rub his tip against it.

“There! Oh, Thunder…yes…right there, please…” Celestia whimpered. Obeying her majesty, he sped up his motion and canted his hips so his hardness would slide over it with each thrust.

"HARDER!" she yelled, her flanks heaving as her breath came ragged and hot with each of her consort’s thrusts. Thunder responded with zeal, bringing all his strength to pound into her while still brushing over that special spot. The blankets and pillows were scattered one by one as the pair lost themselves in a frenzy of passion.

Celestia’s eyes closed as she felt a pressure beginning to build inside her, a feeling that had not visited her in over a thousand years. Her hooves pawing at the bed, she rode the wave within, desperate to hang on to it for as long as possible as Thunder continued filling her, his thighs slapping against her flank.

As she felt the crest nearing she called out to her consort, her voice shaking, "Yes Thunder! Yes! I...I...AH!"

The tide of Celestia’s pleasure finally broke, and the world faded to white as euphoria began to rage through her body. Her inner walls clamped down hard on her consort's stallionhood, her hot juices soaking it completely. The sun princess arched her neck and screamed her pleasure to the heavens. Faced with the power of Celestia’s pleasure, Thunder’s control escaped him as well, and as his own climax took hold of him his scream joined in unison with hers.

The two kept moving, slowly and sensuously, as the throes of their pleasure started to subside. Finally their eyes opened at almost the same time, and they started to regain a bit of breath and composure. Thunder's ears were still ringing from their conjoined ending when a sudden realization came over him.

'Did...did she just...?!' Curious, he leaned towards the disheveled princess. "Did...did you just...?!"

"YES! Oh Yes..." she panted back at him, her slit now relaxing and releasing the pegasus from its grip.

He carefully slid out of her and collapsed on the bed beside her, his depleted penis relaxing back into its sheath. He slowly crawled his way back up to her head to lay his exhausted body next to hers.

"I...I can't believe...I did that..." he said in sheer awe at what just happened.

"You...you did...and it was...beautiful." She leaned in and planted another kiss on his lips. "How...do you feel?"

"Sore...tired...kinda drunk..." he replied with a hearty chuckle. "I...I'm glad...I made you happy." A weak smile came over him as he nuzzled her nose.

Using her magic, she lifted a pair of pillows from the floor and tucked them under their heads, followed a moment later by blankets wrapped firmly around their bodies.

"Thank you...for a wonderful day...my consort." whispered Celestia as she closed her eyes and relaxed into the pillows, her forelegs wrapped around him.

“You are...very welcome...Tia.” Thunder said softly as he nestled against her. Before long the two were fast asleep within each other’s warmth, bringing a fine end to a warm summer day.
