Last Chapter:

“…I may be in heat but I’ve had feelings for you for a good while now and I’m going to act on them. If you truly and I mean truly don’t want this then tell me now, otherwise,” She leaned in sliding her cheek across his letting her mouth rest just below his ear her warm breath washing over it as she spoke. “I’m going to ride you like a cowpony till the cows come home.”

She pulled back and once again staring into his eyes while she let a hoof slide from his shoulder to his chest, rubbing his skin slowly in a comforting manner as she waited for his answer. She subconsciously held her breath as she watched his gaze shift from her to the side then back to her, a range of emotions washing over his face telling her that he was deep in thought. She could feel her heart racing with worry and hope and once his eyes finally settled back on her she noticed something that wasn’t there before. Resolve…he had reached a decision. She took in a slow breath as she watched his mouth open getting ready to give her his answer.

Now:

Grevin couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t blink, hell he couldn’t even think as he felt Applejack lean in and confess her feelings to him. He could feel waves of emotion rolling through him ranging from elation that someone’s heart burned for him to fear of being hurt once again. He felt her shift her position, sliding her slit over his throbbing member forcing his attention to focus on her piercing green eyes.

She was staring up at him, her eyes shimmering with hope, her cheeks red with her mouth open and tongue sticking out ever so slight as she took soft panting breaths. Here was a mare who had, after bucking him in the face once, made him feel welcome, given him a home and a way to earn his keep. Something he truly appreciated.

She was strong willed, loyal and dependable, a rock that seemed capable of weathering any storm and she had just opened up in the most vulnerable way letting him into her heart. She had done something that he himself had not been able to do for several years and now he had a choice to make…should he return her feelings and see where it takes them, or should he try to let her down gently and try to remain friends?

She had made a lasting impact in his life, as had her friends but she had done more through her kind nature. She never judged him for how he tried to distance himself, and she never seemed to care about how different he was when compared to anyone else she knew. She encouraged him to open up but never applied any overdue pressure on him and was always willing to greet him with a bright smile every day.

Ah, her smile, that was something he did enjoy seeing, and her eyes…piercing green full of confidence and able to cause shivers to move down his spine at the same time. He had to be honest with himself that she was pretty attractive. She could send him a simple sly look and cause him to blush beat red within seconds, and her personality played a large part as well. She was as rough and tumble as they come but she also had a down to earth charm which was very endearing. If he was honest with himself he couldn’t deny what he knew, which was that she, and several others had made their way through his defenses, pierced through his shell and managed to worm their way into his heart.

He cared for her, hell he cared for all his friends, but this…this was a whole new level. He had to be honest that she wasn’t the only one that had made gaze linger from time to time. They, he and her friends, had managed to get along quite well in his short time in Equestria and while he had to admit that the idea of being with her didn’t sound like a bad thing, what about the others? Would this cause a rift between Applejack and her friends? He didn’t want to cause a gap between them but at the same time he knew that he needed to give her an answer. He took a slow breath and steadied his resolve as he lightly ran his thumbs over her sides.

“Applejack…I…I care about you as well, but are you sure…are you certain you love me? I don’t want risk hurting you…I don’t want to be something you regret. I do like you, quite a bit but I don’t know if ‘m ready to say that I love somepony. I mean I’m still a mental wreck and I’m no expert at this sort of thing…hell, I’ve never even…I mean I’m…uh…well…I’m a-”

Applejack simply smiled and pressed herself closer letting her forehooves slide around his neck as she rested her forehead against his, interrupting him as her eyes stayed locked on his. “Grevin…you stupid stallion, the heart knows what it wants and mine wants you. I’m not going to hurt you and I know you won’t hurt me.” She pulled back and let out a soft gasp as she pressed her hot slit against his throbbing member hard before biting her bottom lip and winking at him. “Though I think you may succeed with that…” She licked her lips as she gave him a sultry look, “Besides, I don’t care if you’re not ready to say you love me or any pony yet and I sure don’t care that you’re a virgin. I just wanted you to know how I felt and if it takes you more time to sort out how you feel I can live with that.”

She smirked, pulling back and let her weight rest against his hands enjoying his touch. “Now like I said before, I’m in heat and I reckon you can help me with it…and since you didn’t say no to this I plan on doing something I know I’m not going to regret. Don’t you worry none; I’m going to break you in real nice.”

Applejack didn’t give him a chance to reply as she lifted herself up and quickly slammed herself down against him pushing a third of his throbbing member into her hot, tight pussy, her eyes snapping shut as she threw her head back and let out a loud moan while her forehooves held onto him tightly.

Grevin grunted and clenched his teeth, his own eyes shutting as he felt himself slide into her, her walls gripping at him tightly nearly making him cum instantly. He managed to pull himself back from the brink barely and took a shaky breath while he slid his hands down to her rump cupping it in his palms. “Oh my god, Applejack...wow…”

“You ain’t felt nothing yet stud…By the time we’re done, you’re going to be seeing stars.” She smirked and rolled herself against him as best she could before leaning forward catching his lips with hers in a fierce kiss. She parted her lips and darted her tongue out brushing it against his begging for access. He opened his mouth and quickly found himself fighting for dominance against her writhing tongue a groan escaping him as he felt her squeeze his cock once again. Applejack continued the kiss as she slowly rose herself up once more, leaving only his tip in her before pushing down again enveloping his thick throbbing member in her tight snatch inch by inch only stopping when she felt his muscles tense against her knowing that if she continued he would cum.

Applejack pulled back from her fierce kiss, a small trail of saliva still connecting them which she quickly darted her tongue out to catch and pull back into her mouth. She had never felt so full before and she couldn’t help but wonder how much of him she had taken so she glanced down to where they were joined and let out a soft moan as she saw that he still had at least two more inches to put into her. She grinned and looked back up at him shifting her hips slowly in an effort to tease him. “How does it feel stud? Do you like being in my hot pussy, do I make you want to cum?”

Grevin’s grip on her rump tightened, digging his fingers into her earning a moan from the farm mare. He grit his teeth in concentration, the heat and squeezing pressure around his member combined with the pressure he felt in his balls becoming almost painful to him. “A.J., it feels so good! I can feel you squeezing me all over! It’s all I can do to keep from bursting inside you.”

Applejack moaned and rolled herself against him her eyes closing as she began to push down forcing the last of him into her. The very thought of his member shooting his seed into her, throbbing and pulsing with each this load made her quiver with anticipation. “Mmmm, what if I want you too? What if I want you to fill me up with your seed Grevin?” She squeezed her walls around him again grinning as she felt him shake as he tried keep the flood at bay. She moved in close and nipped at his neck while pulling her hips up sliding him partially out of her before leaning up and moaning in his ear. “Rut me…Rut me and fill me up, I want it! I want to feel you shooting your spunk into my pussy.”

Grevin could barely contain himself as he felt her warm breath washing across his collar while her normally strong and steady voice was now sultry and dripping with lust. He dug his fingers into her rump, letting his thumbs brush near her cutie mark before pulling her back down against him shoving himself back into her a growl escaping his throat. He used his strength to lift her once more before pulling her down again, a steady rhythm forming with him thrusting up to meet her in a smooth pistoning motion. “A.J. you’re so tight I’m not going to last…”

Applejack gasped and pushed herself down to meet him, the sensation of him filling her to the brim flowing through her, every thrust driving her more and more wild. She grinned as felt his member begin to grow harder telling her that the inevitable was going to happen so she decided to help him along. “Rut me hard! Fill me up Grevin, don’t hold back! I want it, I want to feel you shoot inside me!”

She felt his rhythm falter and become more sporadic but at the same time he pushed himself harder and deeper into her causing her to wrap her powerful legs around his waist holding him in her. She felt him tense and grunt just before he froze and he exploded deep inside her. She ground her hips against his sighing with joy as she felt every pulse of his cock shooting rope after rope of his cum deep inside her, filling her with his warmth while at the same time extinguishing her heated need. She kissed his neck and collar moaning his name softly letting him adjust to the sensation.

After a few moments she felt him relax and she pulled back slightly while still keeping herself firmly planted on his member. She gave him a slow kiss before running her forehooves over his shoulders. “What did you think of that partner…enjoy yourself?”

Grevin let out a shaky breath as he nodded, his hands sliding up Applejacks back pulling her in for another slow kiss. His knees nearly gave out under him but he held himself steady even as he felt his still hard member being massaged by her hot, tight walls. “A.J. T…that was amazing…I can’t see straight…but…”

She frowned hearing a small hesitation in his voice and leaned forward nuzzling him for a moment before speaking. “But what? Something bothering you sugar cube?” She smirked a bit seeing his cheeks turn red, telling her she had been correct in her guess. She straightened herself out somewhat so she could look him in the eyes more comfortably but continued to lightly push herself down against him, her personal fire beginning to grow within her once again. “What is it?”

He frowned a bit and averted his gaze. “I…did….um.” He took a steadying breath as he tried to ignore the sensations she continued to give him. Finally he managed to pull himself together and looked her in the eyes once more. “Did…did I please you? Was I any good for you?”

Applejack blinked a moment before breaking out in a long laugh a bright smile adorning her face. She reached a hoof up and let it brush across his cheek, her eyes gazing into his. “Sugar cube, you stallions are all the same. First go around you never last long…” She saw the disappointment in his eyes and quickly pushed herself down against him once more before letting out a soft moan that pulled his attention back to her.

“But don’t go thinking you didn’t please me. I’ve never felt so full and I intend to keep good on what I told you. I can tell you’re still hard and I’m going to rut you till I pass out. Now let’s get out of this water and I’ll see if I can teach you a few tricks to get me to scream your name again and again.”

Grevin couldn’t help but smile and began to pull himself out of Applejack only to have her growl and latch onto him, shoving herself down onto him hard forcing him to pierce deeply into her once more. “Ahh!…A.J. I thought you wanted out of the water?”

Applejack smirked and rocked herself against him a few times before nodding her head. “I do, but I don’t want you out of me. Think you can make it to shore with me riding your big plow?” She pulled herself up and slammed back down against him once more moaning as she did so.

Grevin groaned and did his best to walk to shore with her bouncing on his cock, every step driving him mad with lust until he couldn’t take it anymore. When they reached the shore, Grevin all but dropped Applejack onto her back while he moved to his knees so he could stay within her while positioning himself over her now prone form a small growl escaping him once more.

Applejack smiled up at him and rested her head back while opening her legs as best to could to give him free access to her. Grevin didn’t miss a beat and slid his hands down her barrel to her hips where he dug his hands into her cutie mark earning a moan from the mare under him. He slowly let one hand slide between her legs to where they were joined and he began to slowly run his thumb over her, teasing her clit ever so slightly making her squirm beneath him. “Oh! Yes, right there, rub me right there!”

Grevin did as she requested and began to flick his thumb over her little nub causing her to moan and thrash under him in an attempt to gain more pleasure. Grevin however, kept his hips completely still and used his hands to hold her in place so she couldn’t take more of him in her. After a few more seconds of his teasing Applejack began to get frustrated and glared up at him through half lidded eyes. Grevin couldn’t help but find the sight of the mare glaring at him through half lidded eyes, rosy cheeks and adorable and smiled warmly at her.

“Ah!-Damnit Grevin, give me more or I’m-Ahh- I’m going to lose my mind!”

Grevin smiled and gave a small wink as he pressed harder against her letting his fingertips slide around her slick, puffy lips where they were joined. “You know that you’re damn cute A.J. ?”

Applejack blushed and looked away, a small smile forming on her lips. “S-shut up and plow my field…I need you.”

Grevin didn’t hesitate as he leaned forward placing his hands on either side of her head, moving his head down to kiss her fiercely as he began to push his hips against hers, driving his cock into her dripping snatch again and again in a steady, patient rhythm pushing himself deeper and deeper into her folds.

Applejack closed her eyes as she gave into her desires darting her tongue into his mouth, wrestling for dominance all while he ground his cock deeper into her, touching her in places no pony had before, his girth stretching her to the brim. She gasped as he shifted his hips positioning his cock so it would brush against her clit while he buried himself into her, her tongue lolling out to the side as she gave into the sensation. “Ah! That’s it, just like that! Aaagghhh! Uhhnnn….Mhmm…Celestia help me you feel so good!”

Grevin said nothing and only focused his attention on the mare beneath him, using all his concentration to stave off his own feelings of pleasure building within him in an effort to bring her to climax before him. He could barely believe how good she felt wrapped around him, her walls squeezing him with every thrust, almost as though they were trying to pull him even deeper within her. He let his hands move to her barrel, caressing her as he slid his fingers over her coat before resting them again at her hips just over her cutie mark. He slowed his thrusts for a few moments until he once again was resting still buried deep within her, part of him thankful for the pause so he could keep his own climax under control. Applejack however was not pleased.

“What in tarnation are you doing Grevin! Don’t stop now, I’m so close!” She reached up and struck his shoulder with her hoof, a scowl washed across her face.

“Just enjoying the moment A.J.”

She smiled somewhat at his words before rolling her eyes and jerking her hips in an attempt to move him within her. “I don’t care, rut me with this big rod of yours or so help me I’ll buck you into next week!”

Grevin smirked and ran his fingers over her cutie mark causing her to shudder as a small moan escaped her. “Who am I to say no to that.” He quickly took a firm grip of her hips and began to thrust himself hard and fast into her, causing her to throw her head back and cry out as she was overtaken by wave after wave of pleasure.

“Oh Celestia yes! Mmmmm! Don’t stop! I’m close, I’m so close!”

Grevin grunted as he stared down at her, the sight of her form bouncing with each thrust of his hips nearly hypnotic to his eyes. The sound of his balls slapping against her with each thrust echoed through the orchard followed quickly by her moans of ecstasy. He continued with his breakneck pace even as a familiar sensation began to build within him then he heard her gasp and his pleasure increased tenfold as her pussy clamped down around him.

Applejack gasped and tensed as she felt her pussy spasm around his member, her orgasm washed over her like a sonic rainboom making her eyes snap open to star up at him while her jaw hung open and her tongue hung out to the side. She felt intense pleasure as Grevin continued to drive his member into her sending her into another orgasm causing her to twitch and finally cry out loudly in pleasure. She felt her pussy ripple around his rod, milking him for his seed and once again he complied, how own orgasm hitting him as he buried himself deeply into her one final time.

She couldn’t believe how it was possible for her to hold all the cum he was producing, every pulse of his cock sending a thick rope of seed into her, filling her more and more and she loved it. She gasped and whimpered as she felt him pull out only to feel one final spurt of his seed land across her stomach before he flopped onto his back next to her, his breathing heavy, his form covered in sweat, his member still twitching with every beat of his heart.

She turned her head and looked over at him a smile coming to her lips as she rolled over and lay herself against her new lover. She felt his arm snake around her pulling her close as she nuzzled into his neck a soft sigh escaping her but said nothing deciding instead to enjoy the moment. She still couldn’t believe she had finally done it, she had confessed her feelings to him and while he couldn’t say he loved her, she knew that he did care deeply for her which was enough for her at the moment. She would of thought she were in a dream except the warm dribble of his cum leaking from her and down her leg served as a reminder as to just how real this was. She nuzzled against his chest taking a deep breath catching a small whiff of his sweat which only made her feel more content.

Applejack let her hoof lightly trace over his chest and stomach, enjoying the smooth sensation of his skin against it. “So…how was it? Did you enjoy yourself?”

Grevin nodded as he pulled her closer letting his fingers slowly slide over her shoulder and leg. “It was amazing…I just hope you enjoyed yourself as well.”

She rolled her eyes and lightly hit his chest with her hoof causing him to grunt a bit. “You know I did,” She shifted and rolled herself over to lay on top of him so she could look into his eyes. “So…you want me to come to your place in the barn tonight or do you want to visit me in the farm house?” Her tone was filled with mischief while her eyes were narrowed, watching his surprised face with great interest.

Grevin blinked a few moments before clearing his throat. “Y-you mean you want to…”

Applejack simply smirked and gave a slow nod as she leaned in closer. “You’re surprised I want to rut you again? Like I said Grevin, my heart knows what it wants, and when I set my sights on something, I get it. Don’t make me tell you again or I’ll have to buck ya.”

He averted his gaze and took a slow breath while he let his hands slide to her sides to once again idly stroke her coat. “Applejack…if I come back to the farm…well, what about the other ponies. What if they come to see you and they see me by accident? Worse yet, what about the others? I know you’re not the only one who had some sort of feeling for me. I think this could drive a wedge between you and your friends. I don’t want to be the cause of something like that…what you all have is precious in my eyes.”

Applejack leaned down and brushed her lips over his kissing him softly before she pulled back and let herself sit on his stomach. “Don’t underestimate our friendship, partner. I know others have feelings for you but I also know that nothing will come between us. We’re the ones who found the elements after all; no friendship is stronger than ours.”

Grevin slid his hands down her hind legs before sitting up and resting on his elbows. “But what if they confess to me like you did?”

She laughed and looked out at the now still waters of the pond that they were just in. “Well, first off, if they found you in the same position I did then I wouldn’t blame them for wanting to jump your bones…but if you’re worried that they tell you they love you…it’s best to cross that bridge when you get to it.”

He sighed and nodded as he let his gaze move down over her form resting atop him, a small blushing coming to his cheeks. “I think I’m going to have to take another dip in the pond.”

She blinked and followed his gaze to see that while she had straddled his waist; her nethers had parted enough to let their joined essence drip out onto his stomach. She smirked and rolled off him rising to her hooves shaking her mane and tail in an attempt to smooth them out. “Sorry about that, I think I’ll need to be takin a bath as well,” She glanced over at him as he began to rise to his feet. “So are you planning on staying out here in the orchard?”

He pulled on his pants while giving a nod. “I think that would be for the best. If I’m found by some ponies that aren’t in control of themselves, it could result in problems for the farm. The last thing I want to do is cause problems.”

“Well what are you going to do out here by yourself then?”

He shrugged his shoulders as he put on his shirt. “Well, to be honest I’m not certain. I might go back to the castle ruins again-“

“No way, no how, not without me! We know that place is dangerous and you’re not going alone.” Applejack stomped her hoof down firmly in the earth a scowl on her face.

He sighed and nodded. “Alright, alright…I won’t go alone, but I still want to check it out. I’ll let you know when I plan to head that way.”

She smiled as she trotted to her hiding place and retrieved her hat. “Good...now I’m going to head back to the farm, so if you need anything don’t hesitate to stop by.”

He smiled and knelt down on one knee. “You have my word.”

Applejack smirked and moved in close putting a foreleg around his neck while leaning in and lightly nipping at his ear. “I’ll have more than that if I get you alone again.” She couldn’t help but laugh as she felt him tense before pulling back to see his blushing face. “See you later sugarcube.”

With that the orange mare trotted off making her way back to the farm, a little more spring in her step, a little song being whistled as she disappeared in the distance. Grevin sighed and moved closer to the fire, placing a few more sticks on it while he let his mind reflect back on what had just occurred.

-Perspective Change-

In a tree not too far from the campsite, there sat a young, beautiful Pegasus with a cream colored coat and pink mane staring down at the man she knew as Grevin with wide, faded eyes. Her wings were spread wide and her rear legs raised as she slowly rubbed herself to climax, her mind filled with images of what she had just witnessed.

-Flashback-

Fluttershy was making her way back to the hospital to visit Grevin when she ran into Rarity who looked to be fairly flustered. Not being one to let one of her best friends walk off looking bothered she quickly joined her for a cup of tea in the local café. Once Rarity had calmed down she explained to her shy friend how she had stumbled onto Grevin after he had a bit of a “unique” dream and her heat had caused her to give into certain desires that were unbecoming of a true lady.

Rarity set the tea cup she held with her magic down and placed a hoof on her chest as she stared at her friend. “I am truly ashamed for my behavior Fluttershy. I practically had him pinned to the bed. He must think I’m some sort of harlot.”

Fluttershy smiled and shook her head, letting her mane cover one of her eyes while reaching out to pat Rarity’s hoof with her own. “Oh, it’s ok Rarity. We all know that the heat makes us do things we normally wouldn’t. I’m sure he would understand.”

Rarity sighed and nodded, her cheeks still tinted red. “I know, but I still feel awful about it Fluttershy.”

“Why Rarity?”

Rarity pulled her hoof back and kept her gaze down low, a sad look in her eyes. “Because…part of me enjoyed it. Even if it was fleeting it was still a thrill. Oh I’m a terrible pony. Here I am talking with my friend who has a crush on this man and I went and kissed him. I’m a regular harpy.”

Fluttershy felt a small pang of anger at her friend’s confession but she quickly shoved it aside. “Now, now, it’s alright. You’re not a harpy Rarity. I know you wouldn’t do anything on purpose. You’re not a terrible pony, not at all.”

Rarity sniffed and raised her eyes to look at her friend. “Y-you mean it?”

Fluttershy smiled and nodded. “Of course...and…well…to be honest…” She faded off as she began to duck her head behind her mane once more.

Rarity blinked and leaned in, curious as to what her friend was going to say. “What was that darling? To be honest…what?”

Fluttershy took a slow breath. “Well…if…if…Grevin were in a….a…a -“

“THERE HE GOES!”

“Don’t let him get away!”

The two mares were jerked out of the conversation and quickly turned to see that there was a large group of mares all rushing through the far side of the market. It was quite clear that they had found a stallion to focus their attention on, and the poor soul was trying to make a break for it. Rarity turned to her friend and giggled a bit as she rolled her eyes. “It looks like another stallion forgot to head out of town. I wonder who it could be?”

Fluttershy shook her head as she watched the dust cloud rise up in the distance as the chase made its way through the village. “I don’t know…all the doctors temporary residence in the hospital and Mr. Cake is safe in Sugarcube Corner…” She paused and looked over at her fashonista friend. “Uh…Rarity?”

Rarity took another sip of her tea and cleared her throat. “Yes darling?”

“Was Grevin pretty well ok when you left him at the hospital?”

Rarity blushed as she remembered looking over his form. “Well…yes, I believe he was. Why do you ask?”

“Well…uh…you don’t think he would check himself out of the hospital would you?”

Rarity paused mid sip and slowly set her cup down as her eyes began to widen. “Oh dear…”

Fluttershy shot up out of her seat flapping her wings faster than she thought possible, doing her best to catch up with the crowd. “I’m sorry I’ll pay you for my share of lunch later!”

Rarity simply smiled and shook her head as she watched her friend race off. “Go get him Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy did her best to dodge and weave through the buildings in town and quickly came across a large group of mares that were breaking off in several directions clearly looking for someone. They had lost track of the one they were chasing, giving her a chance to find out if they were indeed chasing Grevin. She swooped down next to another mare she knew named Roseluck landing beside her. “Oh, hello Rose…um…can you tell me what just happened?”

Rose luck smiled at the sight of her timid friend. “Hi Fluttershy. We all saw Grevin trying to sneak through the market and he looked good enough to eat. We tried to get him to stick around but he took off running and now we don’t know where he is…you don’t know where we could find him do you?”

Fluttershy shook her head quickly. “Oh, no I don’t think I would know. I’m sorry. I’ll keep my eyes open for him though.”

“Thanks, that would be a big help.”

Fluttershy said goodbye to her friend as she lifted up into the air once more and began to make her way towards the one place she figured Grevin could go to hide from all the ponies. Sweet Apple Acres. He could easily hide himself in the orchard and only Applejack, her family and her friends would have a chance at finding him in there.

Sure enough as she approached the farm she saw her friend Applejack run out from the farm house and into the orchard at breakneck speed. Something was up. Narrowing her eyes Fluttershy flew in a little lower doing her best to stay steady while following her friend. Within minutes she learned that her hunch was correct and she saw that Applejack had indeed found Grevin in the orchard however, before she could land she noticed that her friend didn’t approach him directly and instead chose to keep herself hidden.

Thinking it would be best to do the same, Fluttershy quickly found herself a safe perch and sat herself down to watch what would happen next and much to her surprise she received quite a show. She watched with awe as Applejack approached Grevin like a predator, giving him little time to react until she had him all but cornered on the water. The way she moved…the way she stalked him like some prey sent a shiver down the shy mare’s spine.

Then it happened, Applejack kissed him and Fluttershy felt a surge of jealousy and envy for her friend, but at the same time she felt something else, something she wasn’t certain of. She had planned to fly down and break the two up but when she opened her wings, it was as though something deep within her forced her to stop and keep watching.

She listened carefully as her friend confessed her feelings, opening her heart to him, letting herself become vulnerable, it was touching. She smiled warmly as the two spoke for a few more moments and then things quickly became more heated. She listened to him groan as Applejack took control of the situation and began to talk dirty to him, grind herself against him…ride him, it was…hot.

Fluttershy could only blush as she watched the way the two came together, causing the water to churn around them with each thrust, her own legs spreading as she began to slide a hoof down her stomach to her wet marehood stroking it in time with their movements. She had to bit her lip in order to hold back her moans as she watched the man she cared for thrust again and again into her friend, their own cries of pleasure fueling her arousal. She closed her eyes and imagined that it was her with him, that he was rutting her into submission, making her do his will, taking her as he pleased. It was an amazing thought to her and caused her to quake as a small orgasm surged through her.

-Flashback end-

Now she sits in her perch, still idly stroking her slit as she observed Grevin tend to his campsite, watching him as he prepared for the evening, putting more sticks on his fire and even beginning to cook a small meal for himself. She wanted to fly down there and show him how she felt, to make love to him by that fire but she couldn’t do it. She wished she had the strength Applejack had and could just tell him how she felt but she was too nervous. The way he reacted during Nightmare Night played out in the back of her mind causing her to cringe. She didn’t want to push him away but she couldn’t be silent anymore. Maybe her heat had something to do with it but she was nearly at her wits end. She needed advice, and there were only two mares she could turn too.

Spreading her wings once more Fluttershy silently flew into the sky and made her way back to Ponyville. She didn’t say a word to anyone who waved to her, her eyes set on her destination. Once there she landed at its doorstep and quietly knocked waiting for its owner to open up. After a few moments the sound of the door handle being turned caught her attention and door swung open revealing Twilight who had a tired look in her eyes. Either she was getting ready for bed or she had just had another all day long study session. “Fluttershy? What are you doing here this late?”

Fluttershy sighed and lightly pawed at the ground with her hoof. “Twilight…can I come in?”

Twilight nodded. “Of course,” She stepped aside letting the timid mare inside. “What do you need?”

Fluttershy gave a small smile to her friend. “I want to talk to you about Grevin…”

Twilight shut the door a curious look on her face. “Well…ok, what about him, is everything alright?”

“Well…”

-Perspective Change-

Chrysalis frowned as she made her way through the village known as Ponyville, her sour mood worsened by the cheery way everypony greeted her as she passed by in the morning light. While these ponies were friendly she knew that just under the surface, nearly every single one of them was brimming with lust, just looking for any male of age to rut. It was a shame that a majority of changelings were female. All this lust and love would keep a hive alive for months without difficulty.

This drew her focus back to her current task. Her prey had disappeared from the hospital yesterday, checked himself out, and on top of that, he had managed to stir up the hornets’ nest the moment he stepped out into the village. The level of lust she could sense from the village was now overwhelming. It had nearly doubled when Grevin had been spotted running through the marketplace earlier that day, which brought her to her knees the moment it reached her feelers. Now she was out and about as Emerald trying to find him and hopefully convince him that she wasn’t trying to get into his pants…yet

She did have an idea as to where to go though, she had been lucky enough to overhear how he usually resided in Sweet Apple Acres. That farm was large enough that he could easily hide from a typical pony, but she could easily hone in on him thanks to her special talents.

She made her way through the town doing her best to remain ‘friendly’ to those she passed and finally as she reached the edge of the village she saw her destination in the distance. She broke into a run heading straight there hoping her feelers could sense his emotions right away but much to her surprise she received a strong sense of love. Not the latent love that is normally felt in Ponyville, no this is something stronger. Something had happened and she needed to know what.

She quickly reached the large farm and much to her surprise she was able to locate the source of the love she sensed rather quickly, not so much because she was a great tracker, no, but because it met her near the barn. It was the blasted element holder Applejack. She was carrying a few baskets on her back and was humming a little song as she worked a simple smile on her lips and a small blush on her cheeks. The farm mare didn’t notice her new visitor right away until Chrysalis lightly cleared her throat causing her to jump.

“Wha- oh, Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres, where we grow the best apples in Equestria.” She sheepishly smiled as she set down her baskets.

Chrysalis gave her best fake smile and nodded. She fooled this mare once so how hard could it be to fool her again. “Good afternoon, my name is Emerald and I was wondering if you might be able to help me.”

Applejack nodded and moved a little closer. “Well howdy there Emerald. My name is Applejack, what can I do for you? If you’re looking for some apples, cider or even some apple based deserts then I can set you right up.”

Chrysalis lightly pawed at the earth looking somewhat concerned before looking back up at the mare. “Well…as nice as that sounds that’s not why I’m here. I’m here looking for a man named Grevin-“

Chrysalis paused when she felt a wave of anger surge out from the orange mare, though her face stayed the same, it was clear to the changeling that she was upset. “And what would you need with him?”

She needed to speak carefully now lest she upset the farm mare. “W-well he helped me a while back when I was being attacked. He saved my life and then I heard he was hurt. I went to the hospital to see him but when I arrived; I was told that he had already checked out. I’m new to town and I noticed that the mares seem to be suffering from heat and I was worried that he may be in trouble. If he isn’t well, I wanted to see if I could help in some way.”

Applejack seemed to relax a bit as she raised an eyebrow while looking over the mare before her with a careful suspicious eye. “You’re new to town? I remember him talking about you…you’re the mare that he saved from those Changelings right?”

Chrysalis nodded as she felt the farmers anger quickly subside from the farm mare even as he own frustration grew. It was clear that the farm pony had deep feelings for him which would explain the strong emotions. She was protective of him. If another mare came looking for him, she would most likely do her best to keep him hidden. He had to be here. “Yes, I’m the one he saved that night. I moved here from Trottingham not long ago. I’m not on the same heat cycle as everypony here and with the way some mares can get…I thought it might be a good time for me to repay my debt to him.”

Applejack said nothing for a moment and just stared into her eyes. “Repay your debt huh? Just what do you have in mind?”

She nodded once more. “W…well, maybe a friend to talk too while he waits out the heat…Just an ear to speak too. I just want to be a friend to him and be there for him like any good friend would.”

Applejack slowly pulled back before letting a small smile come to her lips. “Alright, I believe you. Grevin is around here somewhere, and he’s safe…but I want you to give me your word that you won’t tell no pony. If those mares in town get wind of him being here, it’ll be real bad for the farm.”

Chrysalis nodded as she raised her right hoof to her chest. “I give you my word that I won’t tell a soul...so…can I see him?”

Applejack raised her hoof to her chin and looked up in thought, “Hmmm…Nah.”

Chrysalis blinked in surprise before a scowl washed over her face. “Why not?”

“He doesn’t need any help at the moment and wants to be left alone.”

Chrysalis narrowed her eyes as she watched the orange mare, her feelers picking up on the emotions radiating off her, it was clearly a lie. She was being protective of him alright, almost possessive. She couldn’t sense any anger from her but it was clear she wasn’t going to let her see him without some great effort. “Please, I simply wish to speak with him…I want to be his friend.”

Applejack frowned but said nothing as she reflected on those words. She slowly began to walk around the green mare, her eyes watching her carefully with every hoof step. “You want to be his friend huh? Can you give me your word that, that is all you want?”

Chrysalis held back a few choice words and ground her teeth together as she spoke. “Yes, I have no intention of doing him harm, now please, may I see him?”

Applejack ignored her question and moved in close staring into her eyes with a piercing gaze. “You best keep your word…or I’ll buck you so hard that you’ll end up in Canterlot. He’s precious to m-us, too us. “

Chrysalis had heard enough, she needed to end this. She raised a hoof to her forehead trying to push the small headache forming there away. “Alright, alright, I get it. You like him and you don’t want any other mare getting too close to him. That’s fine with me. Now may I see him?”

Applejack said nothing as she moved back to her baskets and picked them up, returning them to their place on her back. “Fine…you’ll need to follow me or you’ll get lost. It’ll be a little bit since I need to drop these baskets off on the way…you’re not afraid of being out in the dark are you?”

Chrysalis grinned and did her best to play the part of the ever grateful mare. “Oh, thank you so much and no I don’t mind the dark.” She quickly trotted up behind the farm pony and did her best to look as though she were astounded by the vast farmland and orchard. “My goodness, this farm is something else. I’ve never seen anything like it in Trottingham.”

Applejack puffed out her chest, a hint of pride forming in her voice. “Darn right you haven’t. This farm has been a part of Ponyville since it was formed. We harvest the famous Zap Apples and have the best apple baked goods in Equestria.”

“It sounds like you’re very proud of your work.”

Applejack grinned. “Darn tootin I am. My family has worked in these fields and orchards for years. Yep, we’ve given our blood sweat and tears and this farm has repaid it all by taking care of us.”

Chrysalis rolled her eyes and nodded idly as she ignored Applejacks ramblings and instead focused her attention on her feelers searching for any sign of her prey. She ignored the feelings of contentment emitting from Applejack and instead searched out further locking onto the only other source of strong emotion there but the emotion she felt didn’t sit well with her. It was peaceful and filled with a calm essence that seemed the complete opposite of what she had felt coming from him before…indeed something had happened, the question is what was it and would it affect her plans.

-Perspective Change- -Twilights home in Ponyville-

Twilight trotted into her living room, two cups of tea floating behind her. She made her way over to her friend Fluttershy who was sitting at the table, her head lowered, cheeks rosy and her eyes darting back and forth as though she were mentally debating something.

Twilight set down one cup in front of her timid friend and sat herself down across from her. “Here you go Fluttershy, just how you like it. Now what can I do for you?”

Fluttershy smiled as she took a small sip of her tea before clearing her throat. “Oh…well…um, I wanted to talk to you about Grevin.”

Twilight nodded, her own smile forming. “How is he doing? I was hoping to visit him in the hospital later on today. I was going to bring him something to read and-“

“He checked out and is back in Sweet Apple Acres.”

Twilight paused and blinked a few moments before taking another breath. “Well, ok…I’ll just go there and bring him his book there…but how did he get through town without all the mares finding him?”

Fluttershy shook her head as she set down her tea cup. “I don’t know exactly…I think he had to make a run for it but that’s not important.”

Twilight frowned a bit and tilted her head to the side. “Not important? Fluttershy…are you alright, you seem bothered.”

Fluttershy sighed and looked away. “Well…um…I saw something and I’m not sure what to think of it.”

Twilight pulled her tea cup to her lips. “What did you see?”

“…Applejack and Grevin having sex in the orchard.”

“PFFFFFFFT!!” Twilight sprayed her tea from her lips and took in a quick gasping breath as she dropped her tea cup to the table. “WHAT!?”

Fluttershy ducked her head down under her mane and scooted back from her lavender friend. “I saw Applejack approach Grevin in the orchard while he was in his camp site. She joined him in a pond and once she was able to get closer to him she told him she loved him. I think her heat got to her though because she…well…um…she rode him pretty hard.”

Twilight rose to her hooves and began to pace around, concern showing on her face. “Oh no…no, no, no, no…Fluttershy, why didn’t you interrupt them?”

Fluttershy blushed and kept her gaze down. “Um…well, I was going to but the way Applejack spoke…well, it was from the heart and I couldn’t stop that. Grevin did say he cared for all of us and wasn’t quite ready to say he loved anypony…in fact he was really worried about how we all would feel, he didn’t want to ruin our friendships.”

Twilight paused and looked over at her friend, her eyes softening a bit. “…What did Applejack say to that?”

Fluttershy smiled warmly. “Oh, she was so nice. She stated that she was alright with him not being in love with her and was just happy she had opened up to him. She also said that our friendships were so strong that nothing could break us apart. I thought that was so sweet of her.”

Twilight said nothing before smiling warmly and nodding as she once again took her seat. “Well…that’s true…so…you watched…watched them?”

Fluttershy nodded as she lightly flapped her wings, adjusting them slightly. “Um…I watched them have sex…yes.”

“Why did you watch? Why didn’t you give them privacy?”

Fluttershy shivered and mumbled something as she lowered her head, shrinking down in her seat. “Um…I…”

Twilight blinked and leaned forward curious as to what her friend was saying. “I didn’t quite catch that…”

Fluttershy squeaked and flushed red before taking a deep breath. “I…I…liked it…”

Twilight could only stare at her friend for a few moments before her mind processed what was said and her own cheeks began to take on a reddened hue. “You…liked watching them?”

Fluttershy nodded as she whimpered. “I know, I know I’m a bad pony for watching, but I couldn’t stop myself! It was sweet how Applejack opened up to him but it all changed when she began to talk about rutting him. The way she spoke to him…the way she rode him in the water and cried out his name…it was hot. Maybe it’s the heat affecting me but it…I couldn’t look away. I…I…” She sighed and looked down a soft whimper escaping her. “I…I masturbated to it and even came…”

Twilight blinked a moment before a soft smile came to her lips and she quickly trotted around the table to her friend. She pulled the trembling mare into a warm hug and patted her gently on her shoulders. “FLuttershy, it’s alright. You’re not a bad pony for liking something like that…maybe it’s just a fetish you have. Maybe it’s because it was Grevin, who knows but one thing is very clear; it doesn’t change who you are.”

Fluttershy sniffed a bit and looked up at her friend. “You…you mean it?”

“Of course I do. You’re the kindest pony in Equestria, and you’re my friend. I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Fluttershy smiled and nodded “Thanks Twilight.”

Twilight pulled back from her friend and levitated her tea cup over from across the table. “Anytime.”

“So…um…what do we do now? I know we all like him but if Applejack is with Grevin…”

Twilight nodded as a small sigh escaped her. “Well…Grevin didn’t say he exactly loved her back…right?”

“Well…no…”

Twilight set her now empty tea cup down. “So perhaps he is still open to other mares. Then I really see only one thing that we can do without risking our friendships. I think we need to go talk to Applejack and discuss this whole thing tomorrow morning.”

Fluttershy gasped and shook her head, her eyes going wide. “What, oh no, no, no. I can’t…there’s no way I could talk to her after what I saw, especially after what I did.”

Twilight shook her head. “I’m sorry but I think you need to Fluttershy. As embarrassing as it is, we still need to be honest with our friend…we can leave out that last little bit though if you like.”

Fluttershy whimpered and shifted on her rump nervously. “But…what if she gets really upset with me…what if she stops being my friend? What if she yells and-oh no, what if she tells Grevin and he ends up hating me for it, I’d just-mmph, mmpph…“

Fluttershy’s voice was stopped when a purple aura enveloped her lips and forced them closed causing her to blink and stare at her friend. Twilight simply smiled and shook her head once more. “Fluttershy, it’ll be ok. We decided from the very beginning that we would stay friends no matter what and as for Grevin, he is very forgiving so I wouldn’t worry.” She let the magic around her friends lips fade, releasing her hold. “Now, can I ask a couple of questions before you have to go home for the evening?”

Fluttershy blinked a moment before gently lifting her tea cup once more and taking another sip. “Well…alright, what did you want to ask?”

Twilight blushed and averted her eyes as she levitated a small notepad and quill from a nearby desk. “Well…Could you tell me more about Grevin and Applejack…little details...how big is his-“

BAM! CRASH!

Fluttershy fell over onto the floor causing her tea cup to shatter against the hardwood. Slowly the timid mare rose back to her hooves and looked over at her friend, her cheeks red with embarrassment. “T-twilight? Did you just ask me how large Grevin’s p-“

“Yes…for science.” The lavender mare looked away a red hue forming on her cheeks.

Fluttershy blinked and shifted on her hooves a moment, her wings ruffling ever so slightly a small glint forming in her eyes. “Oh…um…well…what do you mean for science?”

Twilight blinked as she felt her cheeks burning and she quickly looked to one side averting her eyes. “Oh, you know...research. The chance to learn about another species is rare and this is a good opportunity.”

Fluttershy said nothing and looked at her friend a moment before taking a small step forward and shaking her head. “I…I don’t believe you Twilight.”

Twilight paused and looked back at her friend noticing that her wings were still slightly ruffled and her eyes were beginning to look glossy. “W-what do you mean Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy took another step forward and kept her gaze steady as she approached her friend. “Well, you have had a lot of time to study Grevin before today…so…it doesn’t make sense that you’re asking questions about his form now.”

Twilight looked down and cleared her throat as she played with her front hooves. “Well…maybe I’m a little curious about what he looks like under his clothing…I never saw him without any clothes on.”

Fluttershy smiled warmly and reached out placing a hoof on Twilights shoulder. “Twilight? Do you…like the idea of Grevin without his clothing…do you like the thought of him rutting?”

Twilight’s face turned crimson as she turned and moved away from her friend, her ears lowered and her tail flicking side to side in agitation. “Fluttershy…I…I don’t know. Kind of…I mean I like him a lot and I will admit that have some…thoughts about him…”

She sighed and levitated her notepad back to the table along with the quill. “I…well…yes. Yes I do. I think he is handsome, strong and brave. I think he could do things to a mare that could only be dreamed up in an erotic novel. The thought of him leaning over….” Her sentence faded as her mind began to play out a small fantasy in her head, her eyes becoming glossy and her tail flicking once again.

Fluttershy said nothing and slowly approached her friend from behind, coming up to her side. Once there she placed a wing over Twilights back and leaned in close to whisper in Twilights ear. She could smell a small hint of musk coming off of Twilight and she had to admit that she was beginning to feel aroused as well. “Over what Twilight, over who? Him leaning his form over a mare? Doing what with her? Having his way with her?”

Twilight trembled slightly as her mind began to wander, the soft warmth from Fluttershy’s wing on her back calming and gentle, but the words her friend spoke sent a small shiver down her spine sending an ever familiar tingle between her legs. “Fluttershy…I…”

Fluttershy moved closer and let her warm breath wash over Twilights ear before pulling back a bit and putting a little distance between Twilight and herself. “Oh goodness…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I…I don’t know what came over me…But just so you know it’s ok if you have thoughts like that Twilight, I won’t think poorly of you.”

Twilight shivered once again and turned to look at her friend. “Fluttershy…Just how far into the heat are you?”

Fluttershy blushed and looked down. “Only a few days. It’s so bad this time it feels like I’m burning up inside. It’s like any naughty thought, however small it may be drives me wild and makes me lose control...you’re not mad at me are you?”

Twilight smirked and turned letting her tail lightly brush across Fluttershy’s face before moving in close to the point that she began to pull back. Twilight said nothing as she stared into her friend’s eyes and took in a slow breath. “No, I’m not mad…I think I understand…”

“You…do?”

“Uh-huh.” Twilight spoke softly as she moved past her friend, letting her tail brush slightly against her wings.

Fluttershy shivered at the sensation and let out a small squeak as Twilight continued to circle around her, the smell of her scent becoming more powerful. “T-twilight?”

Twilight came back around the other side of the cream Pegasus stopping just next to her. She then slowly leaned her head forward and began to lightly nibble on Fluttershy’s ear, earning another squeak from her. “To answer your question from earlier…the thought of Grevin leaning over a mare…kissing her…running his hands over her before nibbling at her…it makes me aroused.”

Twilight smirked when she heard the familiar pomph of her friend’s wings snapping to attention. The glanced back to see that her pink tail was flicking side to side as well wafting her scent out letting it mix with her own scent in the air. “Fluttershy…I think I may have an idea but we need to have a long discussion.”

Fluttershy turned her head, shifting her form to look at the lavender mare a curious look on her face. “W-we do?”

Twilight smiled and nodded. “Uh-huh.”

-Perspective Change-

Grevin quietly tended the small fire he had made, using a small pot to cook some apples and cinnamon into a simple meal that would fill him up quite well for the night. He stared at the flames allowing his mind to wander back to what had occurred earlier that day. If someone had told him that he would be approached by one of his closest friends who would confess her feelings to him and then proceed to take his virginity, he would have laughed in their face. However, here he now sits trying to sort out his own feelings for not only Applejack but her friends as well.

Normally when a female expressed interest in him, her interest would fade the moment they saw his face but that wasn’t the case with these ponies. If anything they were drawn even closer to him, and the way Applejack opened her heart to him…it forced him to realize that this sort of thing wasn’t going to just go away. He had to address it, and deal with his own feelings. He knew he cared for all of his friends, that was without question…but did he…could he love them?

To say no outright would be a mistake, and a lie. However, to say yes outright may not be completely right either. He was damaged goods in his opinion, but they didn’t seem to care at all about that. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced before and then what they both did afterwards…he could barely wrap his mind around it. The way she spoke, the way she moved…the way she wrapped herself around him, it was so intense and fierce. Was it because of her heat, or was it truly from her heart? He wasn’t certain but the small stirring in his loins was a clear sign that he hoped to do something like it again someday.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard so sound of hoof falls moving through the trees in the distance. He let his hand slide to his cloak preparing to run if he needed too but then he picked up a familiar voice.

“Now I know that you want to be here for him an’ all but you can’t stay too late, it is getting dark out after all.”

‘Applejack? So soon? And it sounds like she was bringing somepony with her. ‘

Grevin froze his eyes going wide. Had she told another mare about him and brought them to him? Could it be Twilight, or Fluttershy…or one of the others? What if it was a pony he never met before? How would they react to him…worse yet would they see him as a means to relieve their heat? He had little choice but to wait for them to clear the small bunch of trees just ahead. He could run but that may send the wrong kind of message to Applejack…no he needed to wait and hope she knew what she was doing.

Sure enough the friendly face of Applejack came into view within thirty seconds and right next to her was the somewhat familiar face of the green pony he had saved on Nightmare Night. He blinked a moment and quietly rose to his feet taking a small step back hoping that she wasn’t suffering from the same condition as other ponies in town. “Applejack? Emerald? What are you doing out here?”

He rose to his feet as the green unicorn broke away from Applejack and ran at him, a large smile on her face. He smiled a bit as she moved closer, half expecting her to slow when she neared him, but that smile quickly turned to surprise as she only increased her speed and leapt into the air right at his torso. “GREVIN!”

Grevin barely had time to blink before a mass of green fur tackled him to the ground in a fierce hug that caused him to slide back two feet along the earth. He felt the mare wrap her legs around his neck pressing into him tightly as she sighed and nuzzled his cheek with her. “Are you alright? I heard you were hurt! I tried to visit you at the hospital but you weren’t there!”

Grevin shook the stars from his vision and grunted as he sat up forcing Emerald to back up from him, the laughter of Applejack coming from just next to them. “I’m fine, I’m fine, I promise.”

Applejack reached over and pulled the overly concerned mare back as a small chuckle escaped her. “Easy does it sugar-cube. He’s just fine, but if you tackle him like that again I don’t know if I can keep saying that.”

Emerald looked down as she gave a sheepish smile but nodded as she backed up a bit, giving him room to breathe. “I-I’m sorry, I’m just glad to see that he’s alright.”

Grevin shook his head and reached up ruffling the mares hair a bit before resting his arms on his knees. “So…what’s going on? Why did you come here with Applejack…” He paused a moment a small hint of nervousness coming over his voice. “…you’re not like the other mares in Ponyville are you?”

Applejack smirked and trotted closer moving around Grevin before rising up on her hind legs and draping herself on his back resting her head on his right shoulder forcing him to lean forward a bit. “Don’t you worry Grevin, she’s on the level. She came out to the farm to check on you and seemed pretty dead set on checking on you. Turns out she felt like she owed you one for the help you gave her.”

He shook his head a small frown forming on his lips as he looked Emerald in the eyes. “You don’t owe me a thing. I was just doing that was right. I appreciate your concern though and I’m glad you considered me friend enough to try and visit me in the hospital.”

Emerald smiled and sat down while keeping her eyes on the two, noting how Applejack seemed to be a little too relaxed as she rested on Grevin. “Well, you may not think I owe you anything but I didn’t feel right doing nothing when I heard the news. Then when I heard the commotion in town about you, I felt that I just had to check on you. I heard you lived out at Sweet Apple Acres and so I came out and found Applejack here. She tried to keep me away but once I explained myself she let me in.”

He glanced over at the farm mare who smiled and nodded confirming the story. “Well…yes, I did need to find a place to hide out until this heat passed. I didn’t expect things to become…well, forgive the pun but, I didn’t expect things to become so heated. Do mares always get that aggressive?”

Applejack simple shook her head and pushed off his back returning to her hooves to walk around and join Emerald sitting in front of him. “Well, actually…things could get a whole lot worse.”

-Perspective Change-

Chrysalis continued her little innocent routine while inwardly laughing at how easily she was able to get to her target. The gullible farm mare had easily fallen for her act and now here they were, in a secluded camp deep in the orchard away from any prying eyes. She could feel the sense of relief coming from Grevin when he was informed that she wasn’t in heat, but she could feel the lust flowing off Applejack like waves. How the mare was keeping herself in check was a mystery to her.

She couldn’t help but smirk a bit when Applejack moved back around Grevin and informed him that the heat affecting the mares in Ponyville could become worse. She knew this already, being a mare herself, but the shift of relief to nervousness in Grevin’s emotions made her curious.

Grevin swallowed the lump in his throat as he stared at Applejack. “What do you mean it could get worse?”

Applejack looked up at the sky a small sigh escaping her. “I’ll tell you another time sugar-cube. Don’t worry about it; you’re fine out here in the Orchard. Only one pony knows where you are and she’s right here next to me. You’re not going to tell anypony about where he is are you Emerald?”

Chrysalis quickly shook her head doing her best to look concerned. “No, of course not…in fact I may have an idea as to how I can help out.”

Grevin blinked and tilted his head a bit a curious look in his eyes. “What do you mean?”

She rose to her hooves and raised her right foreleg in a small gesture. “Now, I know this may sound odd, but I think it might be wise for me to camp out with Grevin for a day or two here in the orchard. “

Applejack frowned shook her head, a scowl washing over her face. “I knew it, I knew you were up to no good. You just want to get into his pants you no good varmint.”

Chrysalis quickly shook her head and took a few steps back from Applejack. “Now hold on a moment, let me explain please.”

Grevin quietly raised a hand and cleared his throat drawing Applejacks attention to him. “A.J. hear her out before you judge her.”

“Fine, but if I don’t like what I hear I’m going to make sure she forgets this spot in the orchard…heck I’ll make sure she forgets the farm as a whole.”

Chrysalis sighed and nodded. “Fine, but hear me out. You need to tend to the farm, and Grevin is still recovering from his time in the hospital. Wouldn’t it be wise to let me help him out here while you take care of your responsibilities? I’m not in heat and I have no intention of telling anypony else where he is so…if anything I’ll be good for conversation while he is out here. I imagine it can get awfully lonely out here by yourself.”

Applejack frowned but looked down shaking her head. “It…does make sense. “ She looked over at Grevin, a glint of concern in her eyes. “Grevin, I know you feel a lot better but we don’t exactly know what happened to you. For all we know you could pass out into another coma again.”

Chrysalis mental cheered as she heard the words. The stupid farm mare believed her! It was Canterlot all over again, except this time she would play her cards much more carefully. She quickly turned her head to Grevin noting the neutral expression on his face. “Grevin? What do you think?”

Grevin sighed and slowly rose to his feet taking a small step back from the two, his arms crossing over his chest. “I don’t know…I don’t like being a bother to anyone for any reason.”

Chrysalis was quick to shake her head and stomp a hoof down lightly to draw his attention. She put on her softest smile and looked him in the eyes. “I am telling you that it’s no bother at all. I’d honestly enjoy getting to know my new friend…so will you let me?”

Grevin hesitated for a few moments before letting out a small sigh and giving a slight nod. “Alright…if A.J. is alright with it, then I suppose I can be too…but not too long. I don’t want you to miss out on your day to day life.”

“YES!” Chrysalis grinned and did what she considered to be a fairly idiotic pony happy dance which only caused Applejack and Grevin to chuckle and smile…the simpletons. She quickly turned to face Applejack making certain to still be smiling. “So, should I try to head back to the farm then tomorrow afternoon or evening?”

Applejack smiled and shook her head. “I think it may be best if I come get you. Like I said before, it can be easy to get lost out in the orchard…don’t want you getting all turned around out there.”

“Alright, I can agree to that.”

Grevin nodded and sat back down by the campfire and resumed preparing the small meal he had been working on before they arrived. “So are you going to head back to the farm house then Applejack?”

Chrysalis watched as the farm mare simply smirked and began to slowly move herself closer and closer to Grevin, similar to a predator approaching some prey. She could still feel the lust coming off the mare but some humor as well, and a hint of nervousness from Grevin…this might be interesting.

Applejack moved in close to Grevin and simply leaned forward and nibbled at his ear causing him to blush and pull away only for her to move over him, effectively lying atop him. She smirked and rested her head on his shoulder winking down at the blushing man before motioning to the nearby pond. “Well…I could head back to the farm house, but maybe I should stick around and see if your ‘swimming’ has improved since last time.”

Chrysalis could barely keep a straight face with how easily this little pony had managed to make this warrior turn into a bumbling buffoon. The way he stammered and blushed was hilarious to her and she couldn’t help but grin at the sight. Being the nice little mare she was though she made sure to blush a bit before she lightly cleared her throat drawing the twos attention to her. “Um…should I take a walk?”

Applejack grinned as she moved off of Grevin and let out a small laugh as she turned to walk out of the camp. “No, that’s alright sugar-cube. I just had to tease him a might bit before I head back to the house, I’m sure you understand.” She turned and nodded at ‘Emerald’ narrowing her eyes slightly. “You make sure he doesn’t push himself,” She then nodded at Grevin. “And you make sure you behave yourself…got it?”

Grevin smirked and rolled his eyes while nodding. “Yes, you have my word. Have a good night A.J.”

Applejack smiled and turned flicking her tail at him slightly as she began to trot off. “I will…going to be having some nice dreams…maybe one of a certain royal knight.”

Chrysalis raised her eyebrows and looked over at Grevin who was blushing once more a small laugh escaping her. After waiting a few minutes she moved herself to sit across the fire from him and smirked as she watched him busy himself with the small pot of food. She said nothing for a moment before smirking and lightly clearing her throat. “Royal knight? Care to explain that?”

Grevin simply shrugged his shoulders as he poked at the fire with a small stick. “It’s nothing too special to be honest. I don’t want to bore you with the details of my life.”

Chrysalis smirked and lightly tilted her head to the side while keeping him in her gaze. “Grevin, I want to know absolutely everything about you. Start at the beginning…where are you from?” This was perfect. She was going to get him to open up about himself and as he did she would act like she was falling for him and if all went well she just might be able to complete her plan more quickly than she had hoped.

Hey guys, I’m really glad I was able to finish this chapter before Christmas, and I hope it was worth the wait for you all. I know it takes me forever and a day to get out chapters but work does take priority as does family. However, I am pleased to announce that I have a new editor, Bronyz4ever90, who is a great help to me and I’m sure that together we can assure that more quality chapters will come your way.

I’ll already have the next chapter mapped out in my head and hopefully I’ll be able to get a good bit typed out during my break. Wish me luck. As always reviews, questions, comments and speculations are welcomed. Comments are like crack to me so give me my fix.

Stay safe, warm and happy during the holiday’s guys. Brony on /)*(\ -Grev
