You are entranced and unable to look away as Princess Luna closes her eyes and lowers her head into the bath. She remains submerged for a few seconds before her head exits the water in the same slow, deliberate manner as it entered.

Your mouth is agape as you observe her. Her wet mane now sticks and clings tightly to her upper body, the stars within dimmed significantly. Drops of water coagulate and fall off of her mane and muzzle and make small splashes in the water below.

She opens her eyes and smiles sweetly at you, batting her eyelashes twice. “Most loyal protector, it seems as if I’ve forgotten the soap on the counter behind you,” she coos. “Could you bring it to me? I would be most grateful…”

You gingerly lift the alabaster bar off of the ornate, shining jade counter and walk over to the tub, leaning down to very carefully place the soap within the Princess’ reach so as to not-

A shove is applied to your rear by some unknown force and you flail, struggling desperately not to fall in the tub with the Princess. That would definitely be the end of your career!

Unfortunately, you are coordinated enough to know that you’re falling over, whether you like it or not. As a latch ditch effort to rescue yourself, you shoot your hooves forward to catch yourself on the other side of the bathtub…and just barely make it! Your extended body trembles as you struggle to stay above the water.

Princess Luna giggles. “That was certainly close!” While you can’t see her face, you do hear her horn light up and feel your back hooves slowly slipping in a magical aura…until you fall in the bathtub, flank first. “Oops,” Princess Luna responds coyly, wrapping a hoof around you. “That looked like it may have hurt a little. Is my loyal protector alright?”

You spin your head around to look into her lidded eyes. She had gone under the water without removing her eye shadow, which left radiating sky-blue streaks around her eyelids. Something about her gaze, and the colors that framed it, was spectacularly attractive.

After croaking a few times in confusion, you finally respond. “Y-yes, Princess, I am fine.” You almost stand up immediately to exit but think better of doing so before you say one more thing. “A-are you alright?”

Princess Luna beams widely and wraps her other hooves around you, pulling your back firmly against hers. “Oh wonderful,” she says, purring into your ear. “You can protect me *so* much better here…” She floats the soap over to her and places it in her hoof, running it slowly over your tummy.

You feel something warm on your already wet neck. Soon you realize that she's gently kissing up and down your neck, and you shiver in delight.

Your whole body is frozen in ecstasy. How are you going to respond?
