Rhythm of the Heat
Chapter 4: Arc I: Chapter IV
Previous Chapter Next ChapterRose had spent most of the day with Xolani, listening and learning more about his art, and the Savannah in general. The mare had already thrown some ideas at him for trying to make a few different versions of his grass soup to try and toss things up a little. When it came time to set up camp again, Rose helped relieve Zuberi of his burden, along with the others, allowing him to quickly shed the large weight he bore for the lot of them. When the others weren’t looking, she even offered him a kiss upon the cheek, that he returned with a happy nicker.
Later that evening, after everything had been set up, the big stallion approached her outside and offered her a sweet hug, “Evening, Rose~” He boomed happily.
“Good evening to you too, Zuberi!” Rose laughed merrily, snuggling into his embrace with a happy purr.
“I trust you have been enjoying your stay with us?” He asked hopefully, nuzzling into her mane.
Rose nodded into his neck in exchange. “Has anyone ever told you you give the best hugs~?” She purred into his mane.
“Once or twice~” He nodded proudly, before pulling back to bump noses with her, “I came over to see if you would like to join me for some exercise today?”
“What did you have in mind?” She asked him with an innocent smile.
“I was thinking perhaps we could do some sparring.” He informed her with a hopeful smile.
Rose frowned slightly then. “I didn’t bring my wingblades because I wasn’t that good with them.” She explained with a simple shrug.
“It is no matter.” He shook his head dismissively, “We can spar with our hooves and you can see how our people fight.”
“I mean...you’re not an earth pony, so I guess…?” Rose shrugged once more, appearing open enough to the idea.
“Great!” Zuberi chirped happily, before releasing her and waving for her to follow as he turned away. The big stallion led her a short ways away from their camp to a spot where he appeared to have flattened out a small clearing, “Now, you say you have some fighting experience?”
Rose nodded, “My sire was in the Wonderbolts, he was quite disappointed with my sister and I, when we failed to make the cut.” She took a deep breath, “I don’t think I’ve fought more than one or two stallions before...mares aren’t supposed to strike stallions and most trainers won’t mix genders…”
He hummed, before taking up a ready stance, “Likewise, our people do not normally train our mares to fight anyway. It is the height of dishonor for a stallion to allow his mare into such danger in the first place.”
“I’m not useless in a fight, Zuberi.” She huffed a little indignantly, stretching out her wings.
“Perish the thought~” He chuckled, before starting to pull back, “Here, perhaps I can prove to you your stallions need no protection~”
“You sure you want to give me more room to work with~?” Rose teased him with a knowing grin.
“I want to see what you can do~” Zuberi shrugged with an eager smile.
Her stallion smirked proudly at that and stepped back into a ready stance once more, before motioning for her to come at him. Rose stomped the ground, eying him hesitantly a moment. The one time she had fought an earth pony stallion, it had not been a pleasant experience for her - she walked away rather beaten from the experience, but she had learned her lesson. Rose suddenly lunged at Zuberi, the stallion ready for her...or that’s what he thought. Mid gallop, she pushed off with her wings and shot at him, faster than any gazelle could’ve hoped for. By the time he saw her intent, she had already struck him in the shoulder with her wing as she passed. Zuberi grunted in surprise and grit his teeth as she struck, but stood his ground and almost casually reached out to swat her flank before she was clear. He put no real power into the blow and smiled as he turned to watch her. Rather than try to chase her, however, the big bruiser stayed where he was and waited her out. She wanted to play the speed game? Fine, he would let her tire herself out and catch her when she finally slowed down.
Rose neighed with a little hop as her flank stung from his slap, sending him the stink-eye as she took a second to decide on her course of action. Though the style of fighting she had been taught was positively devastating against earthbound styles, thanks to a pegasus’ speed, she was taught to fight armed, not in hoof-to-hoof. Though Zuberi was quite skilled, perhaps far more than she was, she was not about to disappoint the stallion. A look of grim determination came over her and she snorted decidedly. In the next moment, she leapt at him, striking quickly at the stallion with a forehoof. Only, rather than break away, she was moving closer to him, right on top of him in fact. More than that, she utilized all four of her front limbs to come at him from every angle, trying to overwhelm him with too many strikes for him to block all of them. Sure, none of them had the power that her first strike did, but these came one after another like a swarm of angry bees.
Zuberi snorted amusedly when he realized she was doing what he wanted, without doing what he wanted and he kept up his staunch defense, maneuvering just enough to keep her off of him while he occasionally tried grab her. While it had momentarily surprised Zuberi to find her capable of keeping up with him, it only encouraged him to keep going, eager to see more of what his mare could do...and so they did. While he occasionally grunted with the impact of one of her strikes, he almost seemed to brush most of them off with little more than a proud smile each time. Her stallion was clearly built to endure punishment and that was how he fought. He gladly took every blow he didn’t feel was an immediate danger and just kept going. Yet as she continued to probe his defenses, the pegasus didn’t seem to be tiring as fast as he would expect.
As the duel continued, Rose seemed to be slowly getting more and more comfortable with his fighting style, getting closer and closer as she did. Soon enough, she was getting too close to effectively lash out at him and in those moments, the mare’s wings would practically caress his shoulder, side, or back as she made to disengage and reposition. Each time reminding him just how close to him she could get, and yet how far she was from his reach. She was well aware how this fight could end if he managed to grapple her. It was only in these moments that Zuberi would offer any hesitation. Unsure of just how sturdy pegasus wings were, he did not wish to harm them by trying to retaliate. However, the whole time, he continued his patient stand and with every strike, he came painstakingly close to latching onto her.
It was after about the fourth or fifth time getting in so close, Rose did not disengage. Instead of pulling away from him, she lost her footing and lay her wing over his back for stability, ending up against his side. Nickering in surprise, Zuberi promptly wrapped his arms around her waist and turned her around so he could bite down possessively on her neck as he inadvertently mounted her. Rose loosed something halfway between a whinny of surprise and a nicker of delight at her stallion’s roughness as her chest heaved slightly from their avid sparring session, and her cheeks flushed as he held her steady by the scruff of her neck.
Zuberi nickered and held his ground firmly, starting to chew sensually upon her neck, at the base of her skull. This earned him a surprised, yet meek nicker from the mare who now held herself stock still in his arms. When she stilled herself, Zuberi’s grasp became more of a gentle hug and he nuzzled affectionately into her mane.
“Would my mare like to keep ‘sparring’~?” He asked her sweetly and Rose didn’t say anything, but nodded obediently in his embrace, as if not really listening. Zuberi pressed his weight against her back and kissed her neck, her wings flaring in response as if spring-loaded. He stayed still where he was for a moment, as though giving her a chance to tell him to stop and when she did not... “I am surprised you gave in so easily.” He hummed curiously and she could feel his hot length starting to drop and brush her rump.
Rose gasped softly and dared to look back at him, trying to hide her eagerness, yet despite trying to hide it, Zuberi could feel her tremble excitement. “Easily? You know how long we’ve been fighting?” She asked him with a chortle, pretending to ignore his excitement.
“Long enough, I suppose~” He purred and gave her ear a sudden love-bite, her tail instinctively hiking, before he shifted just enough to make his excitement very hard to ignore. “I did ask you a question, though~”
“I’m sorry, what was the question~?” She asked him in a playful note, pointedly ignoring his erection rubbing her groin.
Zuberi bit her other ear then with a playful growl, “Do you want to keep sparring~?”
Rose bit her lip for a moment, trying to decide what to say, before simply shaking her head softly, no.
Her stallion nuzzled her ear then and whispered, “What would you like to do~?”
Rose looked back at him with a small, worried frown, swallowing fearfully. “I haven’t had a stallion in a while…” She admitted quietly.
Zuberi smiled softly and leaned in to nuzzle her, “Compass Rose, I want you to tell me exactly what you want right now...”
Rose swallowed once more, a look of determination taking her. “Zuberi, I would like you.” She declared, nuzzling him and pressing her rump subtly back into him, “I feel like you would be the right stallion to-” She took a deep breath and smiled at him, “The right stallion to make me feel wanted. Lusted after~”
Zuberi gave her neck a loving kiss then, “Then let me make this time special for you. I want you to decide how we do this~”
Rose snorted softly at the stallion’s obliviousness, “Zuberi, I don’t want to chose right now.”
“Very well~” He nickered playfully, before suddenly pulling back and pressing his crown to her labia, while biting down on her neck.
Rose nickered eagerly, in a soft note and shivered in his arms, her clit blinking against his prodding glans. “Come on, Zuberi, I can sense how eager you are, now let me feel it~!” She encouraged him sweetly, yet impatiently.
With a dominant snort, the big stallion gripped her hips firmly and began to steadily slide into her waiting pussy, his glans flaring as he took her. The mare’s nicker became a whinny and she leaned back into his advance with a broad smile on her face.
“Yes~” She moaned needily, shuddering at the sensation of his welcome invasion. Zuberi slid home with a soft thump against her rear, his crown prodding her cervix as he started to grind against her, hot feminine juices drenching his member. She squeaked in surprise at just how deep he managed to work himself, before trailing off into a crooning note. “Zuberi~!”
Her big stallion began to growl softly and chew sensually at her neck, before slowly pulling his hips back again, the mare’s insides clutching him longingly, not seeming to want to let him go. He groaned in pleasure at the way she squeezed him, before promptly thumping right back into her, only to start pulling back again. Without a word, Rose started to flap her wings ineffectualy, reveling in the stallion’s attention. Even as she started to flap, Zuberi shifted his arms to wrap them over her shoulders, pulling her back into each solid thrust as he set up a slow, but firm rhythm.
Rose grunted lovingly at each solid meeting of their hips, a smile pulling at her lips. “You weren’t kidding...you have done this before~”
“Had to practice for just the right mare~” He purred playfully, huffing softly with every hump.
“You sure you’re not a prince? This is what I was expecting from my noblestallion~!” She growled, exclaiming her praise in a loud, enthusiastic voice.
“I was a tribal champion~” He nickered and tugged firmly at her mane, “Does that count~?”
“I don’t care if it doesn’t!” Rose tooted giddily, “You’re my stallion. Mine.”
“And you’re my mare.” He nickered, before pulling on her mane again.
“A-am I as good as a zebra~?” She stuttered hopefully.
“Better~” He growled into her ear.
“Do what you want with me!” Rose gasped at his next thrust.
“Whatever I want~?” He hummed curiously, before stilling his hips.
“Please! Please don’t stop, Zuberi~!” She squealed desperately at the denial of stimulation, trying to shake her rump beneath him. The next she knew, she was being lifted straight up as Zuberi slowly dropped and rolled into a sitting position, where she landed solidly in his lap. Rose grunted hard, her eyes going cross when his glans struck her cervix, all the air escaping her lungs in one long go. “Wasn’t expecting that…” She murmured in a whisper, barely able to speak.
Rather than reply, Zuberi took a firm hold of her thighs and began to lift and drop her in his lap with a rhythm similar to the way he’d been mounting her. Rose tried to speak, she really did. She tried to get her mouth to cooperate, to no avail. All she produced was a deep rhythm of grunts and moans as she struggled to breathe. Still, though she was having a hard time breathing regularly, or speaking, let alone keeping her head up...as she lay her head back against her stallion’s neck and shoulders, she wore nothing but a big, dumb smile from ear to ear. Zuberi smiled proudly at the sight, before biting her neck again with a possessive growl and changed up the rhythm slightly, ending each drop by firmly stirring her hips against his. The first drop caught her by surprise, but by the second, she tried harder to speak to her stallion, but still all she could manage was a long, drunken, muted squeal.
Finally showing a bit of mercy, Zuberi slowed down for a moment and whispered to her, “You wanted to say something~?”
Rose mercilessly pulled on the stallion’s mane, “Fuck~!” She growled right at the edge of something big.
Zuberi grinned and resumed his merciless pace, actually picking up some speed when he did. Rose screamed out her pleasure, though she didn’t last long, and very soon she was climaxing around his shaft with a sweet cry of ecstasy. Only a few moments later, he brought her down one last time and burst deep inside of her, flooding her womb with his seed as his flare plugged it in. Rose jerked and shuddered at the sensation, as she felt the zebra’s semen filling her in a way that no pony had ever done before. With a hard shudder, Zuberi lay back and gently embraced his mare, rubbing gently at her belly in the afterglow.
“I-I-I feel like I’m going to pop~” Rose panted, grasping one of her stallion’s hooves, “I’ve never felt like this before, Zuberi.”
“You’ve never felt the gift of a zebra stallion~” He nickered playfully and held her hoof tight, “Our seed is far more bountiful than any race I know.”
“You trying to get me pregnant~?” She tittered curiously at the fact he was simply holding her there.
“If you wish~” He nickered, before nuzzling her neck, “I just like cuddling~”
“I’ve never just been cuddled by a waking stallion before.” Rose explained, rubbing his neck with her other hoof.
“Well, you can have cuddles all the time with me~” He promised her sweetly.
“Are zebras blessed with bountiful stamina too?” Rose asked him hopefully.
“You have no idea~”
“Well…?” She asked him in a sweet tone of voice, surprised he was not humping her already.
“Thought you could use a moment to rest.” He chuckled, before one of his hooves drifted down to tease her clit.
“I want to go again.” Rose insisted gently, purring at the feeling of his hoof at her marehood.
“Are you certain?” He asked her just as gently, “You’re going to be awfully full for a mare that’s never had a zebra.”
“We could pick a new position.” Rose suggested.
“Well, perhaps you’d like to roll over and ride me~” He suggested with a playful nicker.
Rose bit her lip softly, glancing back at him, “Are you sure you want me riding you? You seemed really into the humping...”
“Rose, I had my fun~” He gave her cheek a sweet kiss, “Now it’s your turn~”
“If you’re sure…” Rose nodded uncertainly, “Care to help me roll off of you?”
“Why roll off~?” He purred, before bringing his hooves to her shoulders to help her sit up, “Just turn around in my lap.”
With a grunt, Rose pulled her hind legs up with some assistance and spun herself about on his still flared cock, moaning at the sensation. Looking down she realized that his penis must’ve been near the extent of his range of motion.
“Are you comfortable like this?” She asked him tenderly.
“Plenty comfortable~” Zuberi growled, before lunging up to give her a hungry kiss.
The mare exchanged a wet kiss with him, as she wrapped her stallion in a tight hug. Her hips seemed to automatically start rubbing against his, her juices already flowing just at the thought of having her stallion at her control, her muscles fondling his flared erection deep inside her. Zuberi growled hungrily and returned her hug, shifting his hips a little to grind against her while his tongue explored her mouth. Though the mare really liked the kiss, she also wanted to show him a good time since apparently he wanted it. Pulling back from the kiss, she placed both hooves upon his chest, urging him back.
“Relax and enjoy, Zuberi~” Rose cooed, massaging the stallion’s chest with both hooves. Zuberi groaned loudly in pleasure and ground up into her. Parting from the kiss, he leaned in and gave her a brief nip, before laying back again. “When I mounted him...my previous stallion, it was one of the few things I did that he liked. I guess he felt like I was working for his pleasure, not the other way around…” She murmured, slowly starting to bounce atop his length.
With a hungry growl, the big stallion moved his grip to her hips to start groping her possessively, “Your pleasure is all I care about, Rose.” He declared sweetly.
“I know~” Rose leaned in to give him a quick kiss, before sitting back up; shaking her hips atop him, half grinding and half humping, “How is it?” She asked, huffing pleasantly.
“This is perfection~” He groaned happily, “Seeing my mare enjoy herself...”
“I still like you on top of me best, Love.” Rose smiled sincerely at him, “You make me feel secure...” She tried to explain. Zuberi leaned up to tug softly at her mane, only for the mare to urge him to return to laying on his back. “Please, Zuberi, I like this angle…”
“We’ll stay this way as long as you wish~” He declared, before relaxing with a playful smile. “You will always have me however you need me.”
Rose relaxed, her hooves slowly wandering lower, before accidentally pressing into a sensitive spot of his belly. Zuberi whinnied in surprise and failed to stop himself from humping up into her, causing her to gasp at the sudden roughness, her hooves holding them still.
“What was that? are you alright?” Rose asked Zuberi worriedly.
Zuberi nodded and panted softly, “You didn’t know about that little spot?”
“What…?” Rose asked, looking down at his belly.
“That spot you pressed.” He explained slowly, “It is where your rump presses into my belly when I mount you.”
“Where?” She asked, hoping that he would show her.
Zuberi took her hoof then and gently placed it over the spot, “It is a very special erogenous zone. When you press it, it feels like I am mounting you and I am urged to thrust.”
Still remaining motionless, Rose softly caressed the spot experimentally, looking to see what it took to elicit a reaction from him. The soft caress earned a shudder from her stallion, but was apparently too gentle to earn another.
“Feels good?” She asked him with a smile, continuing to stroke his belly, even as she began to move her hips about again.
Zuberi groaned headily, before nodding drunkenly, “Very~”
“Harder~?” She offered him, pressing against him ever so slightly harder; her stallion whinnied softly at that and humped once more, causing her to whinny and begin to ride him harder. “What happens...if I ground my hoof~?” She asked as she began to pant in exertion once again.
“I might just lose it and roll you over again~” He warned her with a growl as he fought to control himself.
“But you’re not going to, because you want me to keep going…” Rose returned his growl with one of her own, riding him ecstatically, slowly starting to increase the pressure she was applying. At that, Zuberi snorted and ground his teeth, gripping her hips almost painfully tight with his hooves. “Come on champion, you’re not going to lose your head a from a little pleasure~” Rose cooed, now grinding her hoof softly into his spot, “Relax and let go whenever, Love~”
Losing himself in bliss, he snorted and kicked his legs, trying as hard as he could not to take over and ravage her, “I’m getting close, Rose...”
She ground hard into the erogenous zone, thoroughly enjoying his nearly pony-sized package working her sex. “Zuberi, you’re magnificent~!” Rose crooned blissfully. Zuberi suddenly whinnied shrilly and shot up to latch onto her neck, pulling her down hard into his lap as he came a second time, again pumping his hot seed into her. Rose shuddered atop her stallion, her voice warbling as she hit a second climax of her own. “Can’t...keep humping...can you…?” She teased him mercilessly between breaths as she shook her rump atop his erupting rod.
“Don’t tempt me...” Zuberi grunted, before slamming into her one last time with as he surrendered to the pleasure of pumping his hot seed into her.
“Come on, Zuberi, you want to!” Rose urged him with a growl, grinding her hooves into his belly, trying to get him to do it, “Flip me over and do it!” Zuberi growled at the challenge and with a huff, began to jerkily lift her up and down, even while his seed flooded her past her normal capacity. “Pin me and ravage me~!”
Egged on by her cheers, the big stallion suddenly rolled on top and braced his hindquarters to start humping her mercilessly. “I am going to breed you~” He growled drunkenly.
“You can! You can! Fuck me, you can! Go, Zuberi! As long as you can! Don’t stop!” Rose cried out jubilantly in ecstasy, “Take me, Zuberi. Take your mare. Stuff her full of your seed until you wash her insides out!” Rose continued to encourage her stallion blissfully.
Zuberi growled and bit at the base of her neck, “Mine.” The air was filled with the sound of slapping flesh as he pumped into her, the seed from his two climaxes starting to leak as he ravaged her. “Are you ready to bear your first?” Zuberi suddenly asked in a husky whisper.
“Do it!” Rose cried shrilly, eager to feel him climax a third time.
“Take it.” Zuberi growled, before slamming in for a final time, bursting yet again. “Bred~”
With the stallion’s climax, Compass Rose wailed breathlessly at the nearly painful wave of pleasure that washed over her, as she was forced full to the point of leaking. All she could do at that point was to recline and accept his passion, all six of her limbs going limp. Zuberi snorted and spent the next few moments jerking his hips erratically, before finally stopping with a tired huff. Without another word, he slowly pulled out and sat back, earning a soft whine from the mare. Immediately, her marehood contracted, ejecting a great deal of his lust with an audible spurt and eliciting a shivering moan from her at the sensation.
“I-I don’t ever think I’ve been fucked...like that before~” Rose stammered breathlessly.
“And now you can have it all the time~” He smiled proudly, before gently lifting her rump to prevent further spilling, “We should try to keep some, in there~”
“Why~?” Rose mumbled confusedly.
“Better chance of it taking.” He hummed softly and kissed one of her legs.
“If it’s going to take, it already has, and I’d rather not be sticky.” Rose slowly protested, unaware of zebra customs.
“Ah, but I have made my claim~” Zuberi nickered and lowered her, only to use a hoof to playfully smear the leaking seed around her groin, causing her to purr softly, “Now it is time to display the results of our coupling to make the claim official.”
Rose blinked even more confusedly at him. “I think you’re going to need to explain…” She grumbled warily.
“When a stallion claims a mare, it is tradition that the first time they couple, they take a walk around the tribe to display the results of his claim.” He kissed her leg once more, “Her ravaged rump~”
“But you’re not part of a tr-” Rose began, only to abruptly cut herself off and blush bright-red, her ears folding slightly back, “You mean to-to…”
“To show you off to the others.” He nodded with a soft smirk.
“Is that fair?” She asked him suddenly, “Bragging to your fellow stallions that I let you have me first?”
“They would have done the same.” Zuberi shrugged, “And will do the same when you finally allow them to claim you, though they will likely do so before whatever tribe we visit.”
“Please, Zuberi...must we?” Rose asked apprehensively, “I’ll-I’ll...suck your dick!”
Zuberi frowned a little confusedly then, “You...truly do not wish to display the results of our love?”
“It feels like being a prize…” Rose whimpered, “Being strut around in front of strangers!”
Zuberi smiled softly then and shook his head, “That is not how our people see it, but... If you are truly uncomfortable, I will not force it upon you.”
Rose took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment, before looking back to him. “Are you doing it because it means something to zebras, or are you just showing off to your fellow stallions? Bragging?”
“We do it as a display of devotion and a celebration of the fact that a mare found us worthy to grant us such a gift.” Zuberi declared with a warm smile.
“But why are you asking me to do it?” She insisted upon hearing his answer.
“Because it feels more official that way.” He leaned over to offer her a kiss, “And nothing is sexier than the rump of a mare you just claimed~”
“You’re not bragging?” She asked him one last time to be sure.
“Not at all.” He shook his head solemnly.
“Then help me up.”
“Are you certain...?”
Rose nodded. “If I am showing off like this, then you are giving each of your fellows the option to clean me when we get there.”
“They will not likely take it.” He chuckled and offered her his hoof, “It is my mess to clean after all.”
Rose stood to her shaky hooves, before placing one upon his chest. “They are my stallions too.” She insisted, thinking that she had made that clear, “I am all four of your’s mess.”
Zuberi rolled his eyes and kissed her cheek, “Yes, you belong to all four of us. This particular mess, however, is mine. Though I will give them the option if it pleases you.”
“It will.” Rose smiled happily, “After all, four tongues lapping at me~” Rose shivered as she sidled up to him backward, “Now, hold still, there is one more wifely duty I have to perform~”
Bending down beneath his undercarriage, Rose took ahold of his still dangling masculinity and began to clean him, with her tongue.
Zuberi hissed in pleasure and gave her rump a kiss, “‘Sparring’? Check. Fucking? Check.” He wrapped an arm loosely around her in a warm hug, “Time to cuddle when we return.”
Hiking her tail for him as she finished, she kissed his crown, “I love you, Zuberi.”
“I love you too, Rose.” He replied with a victorious grin, giving her rump a soft squeeze.
~ ~ ~
It was a short while later that Zuberi proudly led Rose to the entrance of their yurt, giving her mane the occasional playful tug, “Are you ready, Rose~?”
“I feel like I’m about to be paraded like a trophy-wife all over again…” Rose whimpered softly.
Zuberi nuzzled lovingly into her mane once more, “I can still clean you before we go in. That’s not what this is about and I don’t want to make you feel that way.” The pegasus whimpered a little in anxiety, shaking her head softly, only to swallow her nerves. “All will be fine~” He kissed her cheek, before gently leading her inside.
Inside, the other stallions sat around the fire, chatting amicably as Xolani stirred some grass stew. When Rose and Zuberi strode in, they stopped to welcome them happily; however, when they noticed the powerful musk surrounding the two, they stopped and perked their ears in curious surprise. Rose became rather self-conscious at becoming the center of attention, her ears folding back guiltily, only for Zuberi to gently pull her forward to lay down.
“The two of you have lain together, then?” Zephania asked her with a gentle smile; oddly enough, while he seemed slightly disappointed, he also seemed greatly pleased.
Rose smiled faintly and leaned her head against Zuberi. “Yes.” She admitted slowly, “Zuberi gave me what none of the stallions I have ever lay with, have~” She cooed affectionately, earning a proud nuzzle from him.
“I am glad for you, then.” Zephania smiled a little more brightly, “It is good to see you enjoy yourself with him.” His sentiment was quickly mirrored with happy nods from the others.
Rose only smiled brighter at the distinct lack of jealousy she had been expecting, before becoming a little more daring. “May I be slightly more spoiled~?” She asked quietly.
“You need only speak your desire~” Zephania nodded with a soft purr, while Zuberi started to nibble her ear.
Rose couldn’t help but smile brighter and snuggle into his nibbling teeth. “I’d like it if we could start sharing a bed~?” She asked, looking around at the four of them.
There was a brief moment where her stallions shared an even, expressionless look. This was immediately followed by a swarm of playful nuzzles and kisses from four sets of lips as her stallions rose to swarm her. Rose was giggling ecstatically for a moment as she found herself unable to figure out how to deal with four of them. Finally, she started kissing them, her tail flagging higher than it already had been. The next she knew, Zuberi had rolled onto his side and the others had gently moved her to rest on her back, leaning against him like a pillow.
“Before I get all sticky, can I get you boys to clean me up~?” Rose purred demurely.
“Mmm, but what if we’d like to see you messy and sticky all the time~” Uzoma asked playfully, even as Xolani went to fetch a rag.
Catching Xolani moving away from her, Rose quickly replied, “I was hoping that you’d like to see my rump up close~”
“Oh, Xolani will~” The shaman promised with a nicker, before returning with the rag.
As he did, Zephania and Uzoma snuggled into her from either side, earning happy nuzzles from her as she basked in the presence of her stallions. Assured that she was apparently comfortable, Uzoma and Zephania began to playfully rub her belly, while Xolani used the rag and some water to wash her carefully, reverently even. Rose nickered suddenly at the strange sensation of being sponge-bathed, before giggling airily, relaxing to give him a better view. When the shaman had finished, he tossed the rag aside to wash it later, before delivering a soft kiss to each of her teats.
“Oh, Xolani~” She called his name sweetly, even if she was a little confused by his attention.
“Mmmm, yes, winged Rose~?” He purred sweetly, resting his chin on her belly to look up at her.
Rose softly shook her head, “I just wasn’t expecting that, is all.” She assured him, making to softly stroke his mane, “We should get some brushes when we’re near this pony settlement~”
“You wish Xolani to brush your mane~?” He hummed inquisitively, leaning happily into the attention.
“We could take turns.” Rose declared sweetly, “I think you would look quite smashing running a brush through your mane once in awhile...especially with that long hair of yours~”
Xolani pouted a little then, “But Xolani likes his mane like this...”
“It was just a thought.” Rose murmured quietly, looking down at her belly.
Xolani furrowed his brow then for a moment, “Would it make you happy to brush Xolani’s mane?”
Rose looked up at him and nodded softly, “I would like to.”
“Then Xolani will do this for you.” He nuzzled lovingly into her belly then.
“Come snuggle with me~” She encouraged the stallion laying his head upon her belly.
He didn’t need to be told twice. With a happy nicker, he slid up her belly to snuggle against her. This left her effectively enveloped in stallions on all sides and nickering even more happily. She hugged Xolani tight, snuggling into his neck with a sweet coo.
