Rush walked slowly into the Boutique, “Morning, Rarity.” He smiled and waved.

Smiling back at him, she drew him into a hug, saying, “Oh, good morning, darling!”

He hugged her back for a moment, “What are you doing today?” He asked.

“Oh, you know… this and that, and a little bit of everything else. This has been a very busy week, so I’m taking an off day, today. I was just thinking about what to do before you walked in, dear.” She explained, looking up at him.

“Sounds like you really do need some time off to relax.” He nodded.

“Relax, you say? Hmm… yes, that will be absolutely perfect! Rush, you and I are going to take a spa trip today!” She exclaimed, rushing off to her room to get her things.

Rush stood there for a good moment, and as soon as she had returned, said, “Spa trip? Us, um… Sure, that sounds like a good idea, but I really don’t know about it.” He started.

“Why ever not?”

“I just… I don’t know.”

Sitting them down, Rarity said, “Rush… please, explain. I’d like to know.”

“It’s just… I don’t really, after what happened…” He started to say. “I really don’t feel right doing something like that…” He admitted.

“After wh-... oh, yes, that… dear, I… I made a promise, and I intend to keep it. If you’d like, we could wait until a day that Derpy is off too, and go then?” She suggested.

“No, no… It’s fine.” He smiled slightly, “We can go today.”

“Are you sure?” She asked.

“I’m sure.” He nodded. “One hundred percent.”

“Alright…” She said, standing up. “I just don’t want you to feel like I’m forcing you into this, darling. I would feel terrible if that’s what you felt.”

“You aren’t forcing me to go with you.” He assured her.

“If you say so… Come, let’s be off.” She said, holding an arm out. He smiled and took her arm as the two left the boutique, side by side.
=====================================================================

Opening the door to the spa, Rarity called out, “Aloe? Lotus? Are you here, dears?”

“Just wonderful, Rarity. How about you?” Aloe asked as she walked out from the back and up to the front desk. She looked at the new zebra who was with Rarity, “Oh my… who would this be?”

“I’m Rush, it’s nice to meet you.” Rush smiled.

Walking out with her sister, Lotus’s eyes widened at the sight of Rush.

“What can we do for you two today?” Aloe asked. She shot an almost sultry grin at Rush, “Anything, special for you in particular?”

“Oh… Um…” Rush started in a mumble. “S-sure?” He said uncertainly.

“Mmm... how about you handle him, Lotus?” Aloe suggested.

“And… what exactly is the special?” Rush asked a little hesitantly.

Subtly motioning for her sister to glance down, Lotus said, “I think it may take both of us to handle him, he’s very large… and the special? It’s nothing amazing, just a private, personal massage in your own room… free of charge, even.”

Feeling a bit indignant from being ignored so long, Rarity said, “*Ahem* Hello? Customer here, one of your best? Longtime friend of yours? Is any of this ringing any bells?”

“Oh… oh! Rarity, so sorry about that… here, as our apology, while Rush here is getting his… private session… you’ll be getting your own from one of our other workers, Quake. Quake!” Lotus shouted. A door in the back opened, and a tan earth pony walked in , her purple hair pulled back with a hairband much like the spa sister’s own. “Please take Miss Rarity into Room 5, and give her the deluxe treatment.”

Rarity looked over at the new pony, who was motioning for her to follow. “Ah… hello, Quake. My name is Rarity, as you’ve heard. I assume you’re going to show me to Room 5?” Quake nodded. “Wonderful. Rush, have fun… but not too much fun…” She trailed off, walking through the doorway.

“Okay…” Rush nodded slowly as he looked at the two mares he was left with.

“Now… follow us, Rush…” Lotus said, trailing his jawline with her tail before she turned around, walking down a separate hallway. Aloe followed right behind Lotus, only to be trailed by Rush a second later. Opening the door, Lotus motioned for Rush to go behind a screen, saying, “Now, here you can be rid of all those unnecessary clothes. Come out when you are completely undressed.” She almost left off there, but her inner spa pony made her continue. “And… should you want a towel, there’s a pile right behind you.”

“Okay.” Rush nodded as he stepped behind the screen and started to take his clothes off. He had a small feeling like he was missing something important about all of this. After a minute or so he finished stripping and, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist, he stepped out from behind the screen.

“Mmm, just this way darling. We’ll take very good care of you.” Aloe smiled widely, grabbing his hand and leading him over to a table. “Just lay down…” She whispered. Rush climbed onto the table and laid down on it, putting his face into the facial hole at the front.

“Would you like any oils or lotions?” Lotus asked.

“Whatever you feel is necessary.” He said with a shrug.

“Aloe? What do you think we should use for him?” Lotus asked her sister.

“Why not start with something that will help him relax even more?” Aloe suggested, motioning to a bottle on a nearby shelf.

Looking towards it, Lotus nodded. “Mmm… yes, I think that’ll do nicely.”

Aloe walked over to the shelf and grabbed the bottle, setting it down beside the table.

“Care to help, sister? He’s so… large… I don’t think I can handle him by myself.” Lotus said, lowering her eyelids.

“Of course.” Aloe smiled, her eyelids going equally low. “Now the question is, where do we start?”

“You start on his back, I’ll work my way up to his… flanks.” Lotus purred, grabbing the bottle and squirting some of the lotion onto her hands.

“That sounds… wonderful.” Aloe cooed softly as she did the same. She then wasted no more time and began to massage his back.

Rush sighed as he relaxed a little more, his eyes beginning to shut.

Lotus did as she’d said, starting to squeeze and massage the bottoms of his feet, slowly working her way up his legs.

“Ooh, this feels so good.” Rush groaned quietly.

“It’ll feel much better soon…” Lotus whispered, just loud enough for Aloe to hear.

Aloe shot a grin at her sister and nodded as she moved up Rush’s back, giving him an even deeper and more sensual massage.

“Ooooh myyy…” Rush moaned quietly, pressing his face further into the table.

Smiling, Lotus moved further up his body, beginning to work on his upper thighs, nearly salivating at how close she was to his tight flanks.

Aloe’s hands slid down his arm as she began to massage those thick, juicy muscles of his. She gently licked her lips as her smile widened.

“Mmm…” Rush mumbled, as he seemed at least partially out of it.

“Have you finished his upper half, sister?” Lotus asked, nearly a minute later.

“Mmhm, do you think it’s time we continue with the other side?” Aloe returned.

“Yes…” Lotus sultrily hissed out. Speaking up, she asked, “Rush?”

“Huh?” Rush asked, looking up as if snapping out of a daze.

“We’ll need you to flip over… it’s time to do your front side.” She said. “Oh, and Aloe? I think it’s time we get out Heated Passion.”

“Of course, I’ll go get it.” Aloe nodded, going over to the shelf and grabbing a bright red bottle of massage oil.

Rush grunted quietly as he rolled over, his gaze now moving to the two sisters. Aloe walked back over to the table and set the bottle down beside the other one.

“Now… we’re going to take very good care of you.” Aloe cooed softly.

“ I say we switch ends, sister.” Lotus suggested, popping open the cap on the bottle. Spreading it over her hands, she could already feel it starting to work, making her skin warm up quickly. Handing the bottle quickly over to her sister, she set them down on Rush’s chest, rubbing it smoothly into his fur.

Aloe spread some of the oil over her own hands and began to rub it into his legs and thighs.

“What’s… this, ah, stuff do?” Rush asked.

“Mmm… can’t you feel it working, Rush?” Lotus asked.

“What do you m-” Rush cut himself off and his eyes widened as he could feel his crotch come to life.

“Oh my… would you look at that?” Aloe asked, covering her mouth in feigned surprise.

Rush tried to cover himself, but Lotus stopped him, saying, “It’s perfectly fine, Rush, most stallions have such a... reaction when it comes to our massages.”

“Oh… uuhh. O-okay.” Rush mumbled quietly, lowering his hands back down to his sides.

“Now, I’ll get to work down here, sister, why don’t you get started on his stomach?” Aloe asked.

“Gladly…” Lotus nearly growled out, moving forward to put her hands on his abdomen. [Gods,] She thought, [You could sharpen knives on this…]

Aloe slowly massaged the inside of his legs, “Oh my, you must be sooo strong.” She purred out.

“I’ve been as much.” Rush sighed quietly, closing his eyes again.

“Where do you work?” Lotus asked, ever-so-slowly working her way closer to the throbbing member in front of her.

“I work with Rarity, as her new assistant.” Rush explained.

“That’s interesting.” Aloe said, slightly moving up closer to his crotch.

“Tell us more…”Lotus said, her voice dripping with lust.

“I just started a few days ago. And I only got the job thanks to my marefriend, Derpy.” Rush continued.

“Mmm, sounds nice.” Aloe said, moving up to his inner thighs.

“And what do you do there?” Lotus asked him, nearly at her target.

“Just whatever I can do to help.” Rush shrugged.

“She must really enjoy having you around to bring you with her.” Aloe cooed.

“We are pretty close…” Rush said.

“Sounds like it.” Aloe said, her hands sliding dangerously close to his erectness.

“Mmm? How close are you?” Lotus questioned, now as close to his length as she dared.

“We’re just friends.” Rush said.

“Really?” Aloe asked, her hands just as close to his pole as Lotus’.

“Are you sure?” Her sister asked at the same time.

“I’m sure.” Rush nodded.

“Mmhm.” Aloe mumbled, shooting a sly grin to her sister. As one, the two sisters wrapped the four of their hands around his meaty shaft, causing him to gasp loudly and stiffen up violently.

“W-hat are you doing?” He asked loudly, his eyes shooting open and staring at them in shock.

Both sisters replied at the same time, saying, “Giving you a happy ending…” As their faces inched closer to his cock, tongues lolling out of their mouths in desire. Rush quickly shoved himself off of the table and away from them.

“D-don’t.” Rush stammered quickly clambering to his feet and moving even further away from them. “T-that’s enough!”

Looking at each other, the sisters smiled, slowly sauntering over to him, backing him into a corner, pressing themselves against his chest. Lotus said, “Don’t tell us you don’t want this.”

Her sister continued, “We know you want it.”

The trade-off continued, Lotus saying, “We’ve seen it…”

“Smelled it…”

“Felt it…” They both said, looking up into his eyes with their own half-lidded pairs, draped up against him.

“P-Please stop…” Rush mumbled, glancing nervously between the two.

“Why?” They replied, still in unison.

“I-I really, really don’t w-want this… I-I love Derpy! A-and I don’t want t-to betray her!” Rush said quickly.

A flicker of doubt crossed Lotus’s eyes, nearly crushed by desire, but quickly grew to overcome it. Turning to her sister, she said, “Sister… maybe we… maybe we should stop…”

Aloe remained silent for a good moment, “Maybe…” She mumbled.

Lotus slowly pulled herself off of Rush, her sister following soon after. “I… we… are sorry. That was extremely unprofessional of us.”

“We hope that you can forgive us, one day.” Aloe continued.

“You should probably… go and see Miss Rarity… We beg of you, do not hate us.” Lotus pleaded, handing Rush his clothes, she and her sister taking one last look at him before they left the room.

Rush remained in silence for a moment before he slowly put on his clothes, thinking about what had nearly just happened. He remained uncomfortable, mainly due to his raging erection that was refusing to go down, and slowly walked out of the massage room. He slowly walked back to the massage room Rarity had entered and knocked on the door.

Opening it, the mare he’d seen before named Quake stood in the doorway. “Yes?”

“Um… I-I was just wondering if Rarity’s almost done…” Rush said.

“Miss Rarity is in the hot bath right now. If you’d like, I can ask if she’d like to see you.” Quake offered.

“That would be great.” Rush nodded.

Quake nodded, slowly closing the door. About a minute later, it once again opened, this time all the way. “She’s fine with you being in there with her. The screen to take your clothes off is to the right.”

Rush nodded and slowly walked in, he walked back to the hot bath, saying, “R-Rarity?”

The mare in the bath looked up at him, saying, “Hello, dear! I understand you wanted to talk with me?”

“Yeah, I do.” Rush said as he sat down beside the bath, though he didn’t really look much at Rarity, out of a sense of politeness.

She could hear the hurt in his voice, and swam up to him, laying her arms onto the very edge of the bath for a place to rest her head, and said, “What’s wrong?”

“S-something almost happened…” Rush mumbled quietly. Rarity stayed silent, merely looking up at him with questioning eyes. “Aloe and Lotus… started getting a-a little too touchy with me…” He continued.

Rarity narrowed her eyes, and growled out, “Do go on, darling.”

“They s-stopped after I t-told them how I didn’t want to, a-and how I didn’t want to b-betray Derpy…” Rush finished quietly.

Rarity’s horn glowed, floating a towel over to cover her body as she got out of the bath, stepping up to Rush to give him a warm- if wet- hug. “I’m sorry, dear. I truly didn’t know what they were doing then, but now I can see that they were fawning all over you in the lobby.”

“At least they did stop… I-I don’t know what would have happened if they hadn’t…” Rush shivered at the thought. “And it wasn’t your fault… you didn’t know it would happen.”

“I still feel guilty… I’m not sure if I can ever look at those two the same way, after this.” She murmured, laying her head on his chest.

“I-I really don’t… want you to hate them… just because of this…” He said.

“I… If you say so, dear. I’ll keep my rage in check.” She said, closing her eyes and silently relishing the feeling of warmth emanating from him.

“Um, Rarity?” He asked quietly.

“Yes?”

Rush was silent for a moment as he looked down at her before sighing, “Don’t… worry about it.”

She suddenly opened her eyes, remembering where she was. Suddenly she threw herself off of him, saying, “Oh. Oh! I-I’m so sorry, dear, I… I forgot where I was. My apologies.”

“It’s… fine…” He said, “I feel like maybe I should head home…”

“A-alright… I’m… I’m sorry for th-this… this day.” She said.

“I’ll see you tomor-”

“May I come over, in a day or so? I… I need to talk. With you and Derpy.” She quietly stated.

“Oh, sure.” He said, “You’re… always welcome.”

“Thank you.” She said, walking back behind a screen to change back into her clothes. Looking after her for a few moments, Rush slowly walked out, making his way back to Derpy’s house.
