It was over.

The Nightmare had been defeated, and I had managed to save Scarlett's life. He was in the hospital recovering, I felt good about what I'd done, and I had even managed to bring the concept of CPR to Equestria. I demonstrated it to the doctors, and they were overjoyed with the idea of being able to save more lives.

Leaving the hospital after checking on Scarlett, I found myself being scooped into a hug by Luna. "I am so proud of you," she whispered. "You showed incredible bravery, and you refused to give up. Not even when Celestia and I tried to get you to." She nuzzled my cheek. "I am so sorry for doubting you."

"It's all right, Luna," I replied. "I'm just glad that Scarlett is okay, though I feel bad for the families of the guards who died." I sighed. "I can only hope that they are well-rewarded for their bravery, and that we can put this incident behind us and move on."

We walked back to our room in silence, not wishing to talk about everything that had transpired. But as soon as we closed the door, Luna began to sob. "How can I act like everything is going to be all right?" she wailed. "I very nearly lost everything that I hold dear to me — my sister, my friends... and my fiancé."

I put my arms around her, holding her close. "Likewise," I replied. "When I heard you screaming like that, I felt like my heart had stopped. When Nightmare tried to kill me, all I could think about was you. This whole evening has just been hellish, and I just want it to end so we can move on."

Luna leaned in closer to me, her head on my shoulder. "I agree," she whispered. "But I don't want you to leave my side tonight, so could you please stay with me, hold me... and love me?" She finished this sentence by planting a gentle kiss on my cheek.

I moved my head back and stared deeply into her eyes, wiping away the few tears which had gathered, before I leaned forward and connected my lips with hers. It wasn't a forceful or lusty kiss, not by any stretch of the imagination, but more of a tender kiss which showed Luna that I would respect her wishes.

The faintest trace of a smile spread across her lips as she returned the kiss with a tender one of her own. But as we separated, Luna meeting my gaze with hers, our unwillingness to be apart was suddenly replaced with an urge – no, a need – to be together.

"Luna, I—"

"Owen, I—"

We both trailed of and saw to it that our lips met in another kiss. This one was not as chaste as the last, and we waged a desperate tongue war as the events of the last few days finally got to us. Both of us had been through Hell, and we just wanted to be together.

Luna was the first to break the kiss, the need for oxygen overwhelming her desire for my tongue down her throat. "I love you so much," she said breathlessly. "And I want you more now than I ever have before. I just want to pretend that the last few days never happened... so forget the foreplay and just fuck me."

Something about her led to my erection pressing against my trousers. It was probably the desperation in her voice — or it could have been the fact that I could smell her arousal. I glanced down, watching in awe as she trailed a forehoof along her moistened lips.

I nodded once and gently took one of her forehooves in my hand before leading her to the bed, at which point she took charge — by pushing me onto it and using her magic to strip me naked.

"Well this is certainly different," I said as she positioned herself above me, ready to lower herself onto my cock. "But I'm sure as hell not about to complain."

Luna grinned at me as she painstakingly lowered herself onto my eager length, moaning intensely as her lips parted to make way for me. At the half-way point her impatience took over and she slammed her hips into mine, thus completing the hilting.

She planted her forehooves on my chest and started moving, while I opted for putting my hands on her flanks and squeezing them as hard as I could. She was practically dripping with excitement, and I was sliding in and out of her with ease.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Luna squealed. "Rut me, fuck me, make me yours!" I responded by rubbing her cutie marks, tracing letters into her fur with my fingers. "Make the memories go away, Owen, please!" She continued bouncing, gyrating her hips against mine, our moans of pleasure resonating throughout the room.

Her pace quickened, and I felt myself rapidly approaching my peak. "S-slow down, Luna," I pleaded. "I don't want this to end... at least, not right now." She slowed down, albeit slightly, and I sighed. "Fine, let's try something else."

I sat up abruptly, startling Luna, and brought my arms up around her waist. In a single motion I pushed forward, sent her onto her back, and continued thrusting into her. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she let out a throaty moan and allowed me to continue slamming into her.

As I worked, relishing the feeling of Luna matching my speed with her hips, I did whatever I could to fuel our combined passions. I licked and nibbled Luna's neck, I caressed her gorgeous body, I scratched her behind the ears and – of course – I kissed her. A lot.

We were lost. Lost in a sea of blissful euphoria. It was as though the events of the previous few days simply had not happened, and neither of us wanted it to end.

"Never again," Luna whined. "I don't ever want to lose you ever again." She looked me straight in the eyes. "Do you hear me? I want you to promise that you will never leave me."

"I promise," I replied, taking her mane in my hand and twirling it around my fingers. "I will not let anything stand between us and the happiness we so deserve."

"That's all I needed to hear," she whispered. "Now be a good man and finish me off. I need to feel you emptying yourself inside me." With those words she pushed me away from her and got off the bed, walking over to the wall. She reared onto her hind legs, using one of her forehooves to steady herself, and used the other to spread her moistened lips apart. "Take me. Now."

I half jumped and half fell off the bed as I rushed over to her, wrapping an arm around her stomach to help keep her steady. I placed the other hand on her flank, and used it to guide my throbbing member back into her warm and inviting depths.

Luna shuddered in delight as I bottomed out, turning her head to face me and pulling me in for a long and passionate kiss. I thrust away at her, enjoying the feeling of her vaginal walls trying to milk me for my seed. I moved the hand on her flank up to her wings and gently traced a finger along them, which earned me another moan and some erratic flapping.

"I'm nearly there," she panted. "Don't you dare stop!"

I grunted in acknowledgement and quickened my pace, planting more tender kisses on Luna's neck and shoulders as I did. It wasn't long before I felt myself tense up again — but this time I didn't even try to delay it and buried my face into Luna's fur, which in turn muffled my screaming of her name. Luna, however, didn't have any way to muffle her screaming of my name as I emptied myself deep within her. Panting heavily, I slowly pulled out of her, our combined love juices seeping out and landing on the floor. Now spent, we made our way back to the bed and lay on it with contented sighs.

"Thank you, Owen," Luna said. "Thank you for showing me just how much I mean to you. I'm so lucky to have you by my side."

I waved a hand dismissively. "I should be thanking you for putting up with me," I said with a small chuckle. "Your life has certainly taken an interesting turn since I entered it, huh?"

Luna giggled. "I agree," she replied. "But I wouldn't have it any other way." She sighed. "In fact, I can't even begin to imagine my life without you in it. One things for sure, though, it would be dull."

We both laughed at this and snuggled together in a hug, simply letting the events of the last few days be forgotten, though we both knew we'd have to face them eventually.

But for now, we could take solace in the fact that, just like magic, sex can solve everything.

Author's Notes:

While this chapter takes place after Chapter 56 of Good Things Come, it is not to be considered canon — since Greatodyer didn't really give me anything to work with.

Anyway, have a little quickie (and that applies to both the chapter and the sex).
