Of Love or Lust
Chapter 16: Chapter Sixteen: Pain and then Pleasure
Previous Chapter“Celestia! What’s wrong?!” I exclaimed as I flew into the dinning room. Spotting her frozen form at the opposite end of the room, I quickly rushed over to her and noticed Chrysalis lying on the floor covering her ears.
“What happened?” I asked as I moved in front of the princess and looked into her extra-wide eyes. She didn’t say anything for a few moments as she continued to look right through me, but eventually raised a shaky hoof and pointed towards Chrysalis. Turning and looking carefully at her, I quickly noticed how big her stomach had become, but it took me a few seconds to make the connections that Celestia did. When I did, my body also locked up for a moment before I slowly turned back around.
“Okay, Celestia, let’s just calm-” I started, but the smack to the face that sent me flying into a wall was anything but calm.
“Alex! How could you?!” she yelled as I quickly peeled myself from the wall and approached her.
“Alright, I deserved that, but-” I guess I should have seen the second hit coming.
“How could you do this to me?!” she screamed as I pulled my head out of the floor.
“I’m sorry, I-” She didn’t hit me that time, at least not physically. After I shook my head and looked up at her, I saw streams of tears running down her pained face. My heart ached, causing me to freeze again as she turned and galloped towards the door. When she went through it, Luna came in and looked between the two of us before I finally thought to go after her.
“What is troubling Celestia?” Luna asked as I ran towards her.
“Sorry, can’t talk,” I said as rushed out of the door and down the hall, “Celestia, wait!”
“Stay away!” she yelled back.
“Come on, I just want to explain what happened!” I shouted as she ran out into the castle garden.
“I don’t want to hear your excuses!” she said as she disappeared among the foliage and I followed in after her.
“Tia, please,” I pleaded as I stopped and looked around me, certain that she didn’t leave the garden, “I just… I just promised I’d help her.”
“And in doing so, you’ve hurt me in the worst way possible!” she cried from somewhere near me.
“…Yeah, I see that now.”
“And this is what I was afraid of: you falling for another mare!”
“Celestia, if there’s one thing I can say for certain, it’s that I don’t love Chrysalis. At best, she’s an annoying roommate that literally sucks the life out of me and doesn’t pay rent.”
“Then why did you sleep with her?”
“She wouldn’t accept the first offer I gave her and I figured if I just gave her what she wanted, she’d leave us alone.”
“Then why can’t you say you love me?!”
“Because!... because of stuff like this,” I sighed as I sat down, the weight of all the drama literally bringing me down, “I know you love me, and I do feel the same… I just don’t want to let you down anymore than I already have. I know you don’t like me being around and sleeping with mares all the time; I know you don’t like having me be so close to Chrysalis, and I know you’re afraid of losing me… but I just think that if I admit it, it’ll make my next inevitable failure that much more painful for you. I just don’t want you to be in any pain.”
“…Did you enjoy it?” she asked as the bushes in front of me rustled a little.
“Not at all. She’s a lot meaner than I thought,” I answered as I thought back, the memories sending chills down my spine, “it hurt pretty bad.”
“…And are you looking forward to the foal?” she asked as she finally stepped out of the bushes with tear stained cheeks and a still pained look on her face.
“To be honest, no; not really. I think I’m too young to have a kid and this one’s going to have it rough with Chrysalis.”
“…She isn’t the nicest mare, is she?” Celestia muttered as she looked up at me with a small smile.
“No, she’s not,” I confirmed as she sat down in front of me, “I know this doesn’t mean much, but… I’m sorry. I should be thinking about you more.”
“No, I shouldn’t be so selfish,” she countered as she scooted closer, “Recently, I’ve come to realize how selfish I’ve become.”
“No you’re not.”
“Yes, I am,” she insisted, “ever since you’ve arrived, I’ve found myself thinking less about my citizens and more about you and I.”
“Nothing wrong with that.”
“I suppose, but I also feel like I’m doing some wrong by thinking this way, which has made me do some thinking of my own.”
“About what?”
“About us,” she said, making my heart pound with fear, “and… I believe I’m open to the idea of forming a herd.” Thank. God.
“Oh,” I sighed as I held my chest, “no, that’s alright. You don’t-”
“No, I do,” she said with conviction, making me look up into her serious eyes, “I understand that with me being one of the rulers of Equestria, I can’t spend as much time with you as either of us would like. So, if you would like to find another mare to spend time with, I will be as accommodating as I can.”
“Uh… I… thanks, I guess.” I thought that was a little too easy, but she seems serious about this… Should I say something about Luna?
“Of course. I love you, Alex,” she said as she wrapped me in a hug, “and I only want the best for you.” …That’s supposed to be my line.
“Thanks, and I…” goddamnit, just say it, “I… I love you too.” She didn’t say anymore, but instead held me tighter and sniffled as some hot tears landed on my wings. We held each other for a while as I massaged and comforted the sad princess, determined to do so for as long as she needed, or until Velvet interrupted.
“I am really sorry to interrupt Sir, but there is a pony here to see you.”
“Tell them I’m busy. The princess and I are spending the day together.”
“Of course.”
“Alex, I can’t,” Celestia protested as she pulled back and looked at me sadly, “I need to return to Canterlot.”
“It’s a good thing there’s two of you then, huh? I’m sure Luna won’t mind if I ask her,” I said as I stood both of us up.
“If you insist.”
“I do. We can do whatever you want today, but we should probably eat breakfast with Luna first,” I said as I led us back into the castle. When we got back to the dining room, Luna had the most concerned look on her face, but started to relax when I explained what happened. As I was explaining and Celestia was busy eating, Luna was giving me an irritated look that was quite unnerving, but quickly hid it when Celestia would look up.
“I’m sorry,” I told Luna as I walked her out, “I was planning on having you stay, but…”
“Yes, well, the circumstances have changed,” she replied flatly, “Sister needs you more than I right now.”
“I got you next time though,” I said before kissing her on the cheek.
“You best,” she said as a chariot landed behind her and she hopped on, “farewell, Alex.” With a wave I watched the princess’s chariot take off towards Canterlot before heading back inside and rejoining Celestia.
“So, is there anything you want to do?” I asked as we walked around side by side.
“Well,” she started as she tilted her head and a loud crack was heard, “I have been pretty stiff lately.”
“Say no more,” I said as I scooped her up, “one, maybe two, massages coming up.” With a hum of delight, I carried her to an elegant spa room that was part of the bath and laid her down on one of the massage tables. When she was comfortable, I magiced a bottle of oil in front of me and lathered up my hands, but not before I snapped my fingers and turned on some mood setting music.
Running a hand down her silky neck and back, I could feel just how tense she really was and since I wasn’t afraid of what could and would happen afterward, I went ahead and got to work. Starting at the top of her long neck, I slowly and firmly kneaded the kinks out of her tired muscles, causing her to let out a relaxed hum. Working methodically, I made my way down her body, being sure to pay attention to all the signs she was giving me; like her slightly labored breathing and rise in body temperature the lower I went. With each inch I moved down her perfect figure, the air around us seemed to get warmer as the familiar and now erotic scent of sunflowers filled it. She wasn’t the only one feeling the effects of my massage though; her supple and soft body got more than one rise out of me and whether or not she was aware of it, I couldn’t tell.
Regardless, I suppressed my urge to jump her and continued my delicate massage of her flank and legs, turning her hums of relaxation into moans of desire. Those moans only became louder as my hands made their way under her, delicately running over her toned stomach and soft teats. Before I could stop myself, not that I needed to, one hand slipped down to her moist slit and with one small touch a torrent of warm liquid poured into my hand as she let out a loud moan. Her labored breathing turned into full on panting as my drenched hand carefully petted her quivering nethers and I trailed kisses up her neck and jawline.
“Stiff wasn’t the only thing you were,” I whispered into her ear, sending visible chills down her spine as her cheeks flushed.
“W-well, you seem pretty stiff yourself,” she replied as one of her hooves rubbed the underside of my raging hard-on, “allow me to return the favor.” Moving around to the head of the table as Celestia sat up, my dick twitched under her hungry gaze and even let out a tear as her soft hoof stroked it. I let out a groan as her slick tongue lapped up the sticky fluid and went on to polish the head. As her mouth started to take more of me and her head began bobbing at a steady pace, I could already feel my own release coming; not only because of the blowjob, but because of the seductive look she gave me all the while.
As my breathing turned into panting and it became harder to hold back, Celestia somehow knew and her eyes screamed ‘don’t hold back’ as she stopped bobbing and let her agile tongue continue her work.
“I had no idea you were so good at this,” I panted as I ran a hand through her mane, “but I can’t hold it any longer. You might wanna-” But my warning was too late. With her magic, she cradled my balls and pushed me over the edge, making me groan in ecstasy as I came in her mouth. Her eyes went wide for a second before relaxing and swallowing the mouthfuls I was giving her, but it eventually became too much and she had to pull back, letting the last few ropes shoot onto her face. As I relaxed, I watched her lick my thick cum from her lips and savor the taste before swallowing again and looked at me with a content smile.
“Just as delicious as I remember,” she commented, “would you like a taste?”
“That’s not funny,” I replied with a smirk and roll of my eyes, “I’ll just take your word for it.” She giggled cutely as she hopped off the table and nuzzled me, knowingly or unknowingly wiping the rest of my seed on my shoulder.
“Ew, now I need a bath.”
“Allow me to join you,” she said as she led the way to the bath, her flank swaying enticingly the whole way. Like a man in a trance, I followed her ass over and into the bath where she sat in front of me and leaned back against my chest. Feeling the most relaxed I had in a while, I wrapped my arms around her as her head laid on my shoulder, letting me take a breath of her naturally sweet scent.
“I love you,” I said mindlessly. I froze for a second, my mouth opening again to take my statement back, but Celestia’s lips locked with mine and my words caught in my throat.
“I love you too,” she replied with a happy sigh. Without any warning my boner came back at full force, rising between her legs and pressing against her still hot pussy.
“It seems we both still need some tending to,” she cooed as she started grinding her flank into my lap. Not bothering to wait for me to say anything, she lifted herself up and carefully but greedily slid me inside of her, swallowing me whole.
“I’ve missed this,” she said airily as a goofy but erotic smile stretched across her face, “allow me to take the lead.” Letting go of her, she spun around until she was facing me, being careful to not let an inch of me slip out. With her hooves on my shoulders, her hips slowly rose until the base of her tail peeked from the water and she slowly descended until our pelvises met again. She kept up her slow movements for a while until it became unbearable for the both of us and she picked up the pace. Leaning forward to wrap her hooves around my neck with me doing the same around her back, her bouncing hips made waves in the bath as she leaned further in for a kiss. She moaned into my mouth as my hands slid down to her flank, gripping her cutie marks as I added my own thrusts. The waves only got bigger and more frequent as we went to town on each other and the marble walls did a good job of echoing the various sounds we made.
“C-Celestia,” I grunted as my hips picked up speed, “I’m about to-”
“Give it to me, Alex!” she moaned into my ear. Not needing anymore convincing, I slammed into her one last time and shot burst after burst of cum into her hungry pussy. Her hold on me tightened with each shot as her tongue lolled out and when I eventually stopped, she went limp in my arms. My grip on her relaxed as I started to go soft, but her tight walls kept me from sliding out. As I started to pull out, Celestia forced her hips back down into me, keeping me from going anywhere.
“Don’t,” she pleaded weakly as her hooves tightened around me, “…don’t leave me.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” I assured as I gently rubbed her back.
“Good,” she said before kissing me and flashing me an erotic smile, “because I’m not through with you yet.”
Author's Notes:
Sorry for the ridiculously short chapter, but at least it's something. Kinda mad summer break's almost over, but I had fun chilling and smoking everyday. They need to make MJ legal around here soon, got a dispensary opening a few blocks away and the cops apparently don't give a shit if you smoke anyway, so WTF. Who cares though, if Trump becomes president, I'm moving to Canada anyway. Who's with me?
