Horse People Go Naked
Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Three Months in Service
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThomas stirred in the bed as a soft hand gently nudged his shoulder. “Time to wake up, Thomas.” A feminine voice instructed sweetly. He opened his eyes and smiled up at the dark blue furred face of Princess Luna.
“Don’t wanna,” Thomas complained as he pulled the covers over his head to block out the offensive light of the setting sun. The maids who had opened the curtains to reveal that monstrosity giggled at his discomfort, but otherwise remained still while awaiting orders.
Luna frowned a moment. “DOST THOU DARE REFUSE AN ORDER FROM THINE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!?” She spoke in the Royal Canterlot Voice, practically blowing Thomas out of the bed.
Once his ears stopped ringing, Thomas looked up to get his bearings. Sitting beside him was the lovely, 8 foot alicorn Princess Luna. She was in her royal transparent sleeping gown which gave a generous view of her ample bosom. She smirked down at the young man as he pulled himself up. "Do you have to do that every time?" He asked.
"Only whenst thou refuses to awaken on command." Luna held her chin up high and extended a hand to look more authoritative. Though she only succeeded in making her bedfellow chuckle.
"You're worse than any alarm clock I've ever owned," Thomas complained with faux annoyance. Truth be told, there was no better way to wake up than lying beside the most gorgeous woman/pony in the entire world. His sleepy eyes lingered a bit on the Princess’ form. Even sitting she was still considerably taller than him. In fact, he was at eye level with her breasts, which suited him just fine. Her fur glistened beneath the final rays of sunlight which almost gave her the appearance of glowing. Even her bedhead was a sight to behold as it lay limply behind her without the spell to make it wave about.
“Ya know, you kind of look like Maneiac from the comics when you wake up,” Thomas observed. Luna recognized the reference and immediately applied the spell to her mane, causing its sparkling strands to flow and dance about like a band of snakes. Thomas couldn’t help but laugh, much to Luna’s appreciation.
"We shall take that as a compliment. Now get dressed. Today promises to be most eventful," Luna commanded.
"At once, my Princess," Thomas said half-heartedly.
It had been three months since Thomas had mysteriously appeared in Luna's chambers. After the initial awkwardness and the Princess’ claiming of him as one of her servants, she took him to Celestia to see if there was anything the sun Princess could do to help. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. As Luna theorized, a random tear in reality could not be tracked. And while there were stable portals in the castle’s basement, some of which leading to human worlds, none lead to the right one. Thomas was stranded in Equestria.
Thankfully, that was the end of the sad part. Princess Luna, sympathizing with Thomas’ feelings of loneliness, made him her personal attendant. He helped her dress, carried her bags when she went out shopping, served her tea during meetings, and on a few occasions washed her back while she bathed. The pair spent a lot of time talking and soon grew quite fond of one another. She said that it was easy for her to feel open with him and he returned the sentiment. Eventually, Luna decided the best way to reward Thomas’ friendship was with a promotion.
Life was pretty good as a royal concubine. The food was good since good health was crucial to your job performance. The boss was absolutely amazing and always attended ‘employee’s’ needs. The hours were a bit random since ‘the mood’ could strike Luna at any moment and Thomas was expected to be on constant standby, but the pay wasn’t anything to scoff at either. The only thing Thomas couldn’t really comment on were his coworkers, since he didn’t really have any.
It had not been long since Princess Luna had been freed from Nightmare Moon. In that time, Celestia had been working close with her sister to restore her house to proper order. The first matter of importance was Luna’s house guard, which filled out quite quickly thanks to a few brave volunteers. From there, various castle servants were reassigned to Luna’s wing of the castle as her personal staff. She had everything from maids, to private chefs, and even a cute unicorn mare for a secretary named Attentive Eye. Luna even got to pick out all their uniforms so everyone would be able to distinguish between them and Celestia’s staff.
But until Thomas came along; neither sister realized that they had both overlooked one of the Princess’ most important needs. It was a failure the young man was made most aware of every day as the Princess used his body to quench a lust that hadn’t been properly sated in a thousand years.
Regardless, Thomas now held the honorable position of Senior Concubine in Princess Luna’s royal harem; sort of like the head maid or Staff Sergeant. It turns out that prostitution was viewed as an honest profession and nothing to be ashamed of. Some ponies just had the talent; though this particular talent was among the more rare categories, not nearly as common as the various kinds of chefs, gardeners, builders, magicians, athletes, or other professions. However, how ponies figured out this was their special talent when most ponies got their cutie marks in grade school was suspiciously glossed over whenever the subject came up. All in all, apparently royal concubine was the aspiration of all those in Thomas’ profession. But despite these assurances, it still didn’t stop him from feeling embarrassed at his title.
Thomas’ uniform, which oddly he was required to wear at all hours except when actually working, was an indigo cloth loincloth emblazoned with Luna’s cutie mark on the front, and nothing else. According to Sun Dancer, Celestia’s Senior Concubine, the uniform was meant to show the world that everything within it was the property of the Princess.
As his peer, Thomas often went to Sun Dancer for advice. An older unicorn mare, she’d been in service to Princess Celestia for over fifty years, yet amazingly her body looked like it was just pushing thirty. Apparently life as a royal concubine had other benefits in the long term. Her uniform was a white loincloth emblazoned with Celestia’s cutie mark on the front, and nothing else. Thomas hadn't gotten to know the rest of Celestia's concubines, save for Talon the female griffon who had taken a liking to him because he also ate meat. There were eight mares, three stallions, a male and female diamond dog, a male minotaur, the fore mentioned female griffon, and a few more members he’d never actually seen but was assured existed.
