My gear was neatly stowed away and I cleaned my sword thoroughly before hanging it back up in my room. I’d nearly ripped my clothes off in my desire to rid myself of the stinking blood stained things, they absolutely reeked. Each of us in the agency had a basket for washing and I dropped mine in and climbed into the shower. Goddesses…that was…so good. The hot water was wonderful, the steam and warming sensation, washing away all the filth, blood and sweat. I sighed, leaning my head against the cubicle wall and closed my eyes. I’d done a good thing, I’d saved ponies, I’d stopped their drug and weapons making facilities. Even if there were more, goddess forbid, we’d sent a message…Equestrian’s could and would fight back.

In minds eye I kept seeing Scootaloo’s trusting face smiling up at me, Sweetie Belle’s sad eyes as she tried to smile. Celestia, Luna, what the hell had brought us to this? It was greed, pure and simple greed and the ones spreading this misery had to be eliminated. There were still several targets so far as I could see…Gates, Melon Patch, their boss, and the watch commissioner. If nothing else, I wanted to take out the animals who had murdered my family before they caused any more pain to innocents like Scootaloo and Sweetie. I gritted my teeth and slammed the wall with my hoof, those bastards…what they had done, there would be no forgiveness….No forgiveness…

The warm feeling on my back drained the bad feelings and thoughts away. It was so wonderful, soft yet firm, rubbing away the tension and aches in my body…marvellous. I let out a sigh and wondered how I’d managed to do all that with all four of my hooves on the ground…

It was obvious really. I opened an eye and saw an image of three ice cubes on a soft perfectly curved flank. The water had soaked into her coat and darkened it, her tail sticking to her hind legs and steam rising from her back. She rubbed the soap into my spine, sending shock waves up my body. The mixture of heat, water, steam and the proximity…goddesses…

Tingles looked at me through one half lidded eye, “Welcome home, hero…”

I felt my self control snap and pushed my muzzle into her flank, smelling her, licking her cutie mark, my teeth nibbling at the ice cube marks. Tingles gasped and dropped the soap bottle. With a shudder she began to turn, but I was on her, pinning her to the cubicle wall, my chest heaving and heart hammering in my chest. My loins burned for her, I needed her…Great goddesses I needed her.

“I want you…”, I breathed heavily, looking into her eyes. She gazed searchingly into mine, a little flicker of uncertainty and then she answered with a kiss full of passion and desire. Our tongues quested and tasted, enjoying the long building rush of feelings that were driving us to this moment.

The tangerine mare pulled away, gasping for air, “Now…”, she moaned rubbing her head up my neck, “…Celestia, Fairlight…please…”

I grabbed her in my forelegs, it wasn’t easy in such a small space, but wedging myself just so I could get into position to…

I pushed up and after a little resistance, met Tingles coming down to meet me. I closed my eyes and felt the rush of emotion, warmth and longing rage throughout my entire body. Tingles gasped and gave a cry she stifled by biting into my shoulder. The pain and ecstasy of the moment heightened my passions and we rutted like our lives depended upon it.

I don’t know if anypony else was in the shower block with us, but they couldn’t have helped but hear. The cubicle walls shook furiously as I hammered myself into the beautiful tangerine mare. Her cries unleashed into screams that echoed in the tiled room until together, completely spent, we collapsed on top of each other, the hot shower water washing away the evidence of our joining.

“Oh…Fairlight…”, Tingles muttered into my mane. Her legs shook and she looked ready to pass out. I lay there, holding her and stroked her sodden mane until she looked up at me,

“Are you alright love? You aren’t hurt are you?”

I shook my head, “No, I’m fine…thanks”

“Thanks? For what?”

“For being here, for waiting for me. You’re very special Tingles, I don’t know what I would have done if you weren’t here, and…”

She put a hoof to my mouth, “Shhhh, I’m here my Captain, I always will be.”

I kissed her again and felt myself wanting to sleep. I think I was about to nod off too before I heard my TED buzzing. Tingles stood and with a little shake of her rump, left the cubicle,

“Agent Tingles…yes sir, he’s in the shower, do want me to get him for you? No…understood…We’ll be ready sir. Out”

I turned off the water and grabbed two towels, passing one to my partner.

“That was Brandy Wine, he wants us to take foals back home to Ponyville in the morning, do you know anything about that?”

I nodded, “Oh yeah, I know all about that!”

She cocked her head to one side and eyed me quizzically. “Well, you can tell me all about it tonight…in bed.” She smacked my rump with a hoof and grinned, rubbing her mane with the rough towel, “Besides”, Tingles grinned back at me, “I owe you for nipping my cutie mark…’my lord’”

We laughed together, the merriment a strange counterpoint to the cold white tiles of the shower block. That was when I noticed a couple of ponies peering over the edges of their cubicles, quickly ducking back down when they saw me watching. I didn’t care, but it was probably time to leave. One final butt floss, careful…a bit tender down there now…and away we went, back to the waiting bed of the happiest pony in the agency.
