It had been all of ten minutes since the groups had split up and left Becky with Sunburst and Thunder Glide to watch over Flurry Heart. The connection Becky shared with Flurry instantly caught Sunburst's curiosity.

"Flurry Heart really seems to like you and Cerb. Do you think it has something to do with your hands?"

Becky held the sleeping foal in her arms, gently rocking her, now having to consider that as a possibility.

"I dunno. She liked me at first sight, but I think that plays a role in it too."

Thunder gave a curious look at Becky and the foal, paying special attention to the aforementioned extremities.

"What about your hands would make her like you?"

Sunburst immediately broke out into a grin, excited for the chance to explain what he knew.

“Well, humans have a remarkable ability to provide incredibly powerful, nearly euphoric sensations by just touching a pony with their hands. Princess Cadance told me all about it. It’s quite the mystery as to why that is, being how it seems like that would involve some type of enchantment, but they’re actually nearly entirely immune to magic and can even remove or disrupt various spells. It’s a complex contradiction in the observational effects alone.”

Becky didn’t react to the claim. It was all old news by now.

“Yeah, we can’t explain it, but so long as you all enjoy it, it's whatever."

"Yo, Beks," Rainbow Dash called out from the entry of the dining area. "Come on outside, I wanna show ya something."

Caring little about the current conversation, she carefully handed over Flurry to Sunburst, letting him take her in his aura. Still a weird feeling.

"Thanks again. I bet you'll be seeing a lot more of me."

When Becky finished saying goodbye she looked for Rainbow, but she must have left her to meet outside. That wasn't like her to be so impatient to leave her behind.

She made her way out front and had to stop and process what was in front of her.

"Dash? Where did you get this?"

Rainbow stood proudly with straps around her chest and waist. The straps were connected to each other and a few more that were attached to what had to be a wagon. Not a full size wagon, it was maybe big enough to seat her and maybe one small bag.

"It might not be as cool as Sniff's car, but with me pulling you along I can still get ya from A to B," Rainbow boasted.

Becky didn't know what she was supposed to say.

"You got this for me? Where did you get this from?"

Rainbow responded with her go-to smirk.

"This had to be custom made out in town. Cost me nearly a hundred bits. It's a good thing Sniff's hands were as good as I hoped they'd be. I woulda been suuuper fucked had I lost that bet. But, I'm not. Although, I've been giving it a little more thought. It doesn't sound so bad. Maybe we can both go and rustle up some studs of our own. Sound like fun?"

In response to the proposal, Becky shook her head, inappropriate laughter bursting out from the seams.

"You're too much Dash, and no. The only pony ride I want will be from you on this."

Rainbow gave a quick laugh.

"Phrasing."

Becky laughed back and took a seat on her new ride.

"Goddammit, Dash. You know what I mean. And you shouldn’t have done this.”

Once Becky was settled in and strapped down, and the pair finally stopped laughing, Rainbow started off in a slow trot.

“Thinking about it, you totally deserve this. It’s the least I can do after everything you’ve taught me since we became friends. I didn’t know how clueless Twilight and the rest of the girls were about some of the more touchy subjects.”

“Really?” Becky asked, expecting some joke to come along with the praise.”What happened? What’d I miss and when?”

Rainbow snickered quietly, knowing how private her friends wanted to keep this.

“Oh, you missed a lot today, but I don’t think they’d like me talking about it.”

Becky sat and wondered which of others must have been involved, or what it covered. On second thought, it actually got her thinking maybe she should be concerned.

“Dashie… Is there anything I should know about?”

Rainbow continued pulling the wagon towards the castle but gave a quick glance over her shoulder with a goofy grin.

“You worry too much. The girls just had a narrow concept of all that dirty stuff and weren’t smart enough to ask.”

Cerb was hit with a blind ultimatum. Let the topic go and risk ruining the valuable relationships he had built with Fluttershy and Rarity, or let them explain and see where that would lead. The choice was pretty obvious.

“I’m willing to hear you out.”

Now given the floor, Rarity stepped up to start explaining where their proposition was coming from.

“Justin, dearie. From the first day we met you, we knew there was something special about you. Your character as a warrior and protector, the passion you showed for your friends, or just how comforting it was to be in your presence. Then the whole night after what happened to Kelly, we both couldn’t believe how fortunate we were that you were willing to comfort us after the heartache of thinking we failed all of you. Not just that, even if all the other guards were there, we only felt safe and comforted by you taking care of us. But then the night of our date.”

Cerb thought back to that night. How stupid he was to think she wasn’t honestly interested in him. All the signs were there, but they both had danced around the truth so much, the plausible deniability allowed them to assume what they wanted.

Rarity thought back to how wonderful that night was and then how her poor selection of words threw them both off track.

“We talked about if it was a pity date or something you were doing out of guilt, and it was. You were too kind to admit it, and I knew what you were trying to do and hoped it could become something more. But I told you if things were different, I'd be furious if we didn't do this again.”

Rarity actually took a moment to cringe at her previously misleading behavior but pushed ahead in spite of it.

“What I meant was, I wished things were different and you actually wanted to be with me. I wanted things to be more stable for you so that evening could have been real with us. And while you were a true gentlecolt that night, you weren’t ready for anything like this.”

Fluttershy butted in to give her take.

“I was so happy for Rarity that night. I thought maybe if you were that comfortable to even have a date in those circumstances and treated Rarity as lovingly as you did, at least one of us had a chance at romancing you into a relationship. Then in the Everfree Forest after you confided in me what you did in the war and that you needed me, needed both of us, I slipped up and accidentally told you that I loved you. You said you loved me back, but you didn’t mean that you were in love with me."

After that day in the forest, she had given herself more time to think about what she wanted. Given all that’d occurred since then, she had her answer.

"That wasn’t what really mattered to me. I wanted more, just like Rarity, but I was more concerned with helping you than trying to ask you out. And then everything that happened after that. The stories you told me of your days in combat, the level of trust you started to show after you were honest about your insecurities, wanting to be close to us, risking your life for me but still showing mercy to the chupacabra, and how bravely you fought to save everypony and Spike…”

“Justin,” Rarity spoke up again to continue on for her wingmare. “Fluttershy and I care so much about you. So much so we put aside our concerns over who you might eventually want to be with and dedicated all our efforts to help you. It was difficult at times, being so close to you. Whether it was physically or emotionally, always stuck between being honest with how much we cared, but never wanting to scare you away with how much more than just caring about you we really did, we had to support each other. Always discussing what we learned about you with each other, figuring out what the best way to help was without pushing you away. We relied so much on each other and became so close, we eventually realized that we cared for each other just as much as we both cared about you.”

With everything now laid out, Fluttershy finally saw the timing was right to make her proposal.

“What we’re trying to say is that we don’t want to change up the three of us being in this together. We don’t want you to choose only one of us. We want all of us to be together.”

Cerb took a moment to replay that last bit over in his head. There was no way this was being given to him this easily.

“So… you both are pretty much already a couple, and you want me to join you in a three-way relationship?”

Hearing it said so dispassionately made Rarity sulk for how ridiculous it sounded without all the pretty words to build it up.

“Yes, that is essentially what has happened. And we know it might not exactly be traditional for you, or maybe it’s not so uncommon where you come from. It’s something we learned is not unheard of here, which gave us the confidence to even approach you about it. Fluttershy and I love each other, and it’s because of you we were able to realize that. But since we don’t know what your future will look like regarding how long you'll be able to stay with us, we can’t let each other go if you might one day leave us, never to return. But, for as long as you are here, we agreed that we want to share everything you’re willing to offer.”

“And we will continue to do the same,” Fluttershy added. “Only, maybe a lot more if you’re willing to have us like this. We’ll still help you with everything we can. Sharing a bed with you at night, training with you, and continuing to do all we can to help cure Becky. Even if you don’t say yes, we’ll still be there for you.”

Cerb thought about what they were offering him. Why did everything with them have to sound too good to be true? How could he even get away with this?

Oh right, alternate pony world….still though.

“What would the others say if they found out that you were both in a relationship with me?”

Answering that might involve a little violation of trust, but they had already done that against him, so what was the harm in evening it out?

Rarity decided to give it her best shot.

“About that… We understand that not all of your friends might be so accepting, so we’re willing to keep our relationship mostly a secret until we know who else wouldn’t make this an issue for us.”

“Mostly secret?” Cerb asked, slowly realizing what they weren’t telling him. “And did you say not all my friends… Do any of my friends know that this is what you both wanted, are looking for something serious, or is someone already dating one of the others? Holy shit. It’s Chris, isn’t it?”

Still in the blue about him, though sure he at least had sex, Rarity sighed.

“Actually, we have no idea what Chris has been up to, though we do speculate that he has likely started a private affair with Starlight. We have yet to ask but plan to find out so we can offer her the same support we received from Twilight. She is the one who both knows about our wish to be with you… as well as of today, joined Oven Fresh in a mutual relationship with Peter.”

“Holy shit,” Cerb replied in an overwhelmed reaction. “That dude can’t quit. How did he talk them into it?”

This time it was Fluttershy who had to break the news.

“Um… actually, it was Oven Fresh that asked out Peter and convinced Twilight to ask him out as well. Twilight might not be interested in Oven Fresh like Rarity and I are with each other, but we know Peter wouldn’t hold this against you as far as your friends go. Probably Chris, as well.”

Now all in, Rarity nodded.

“It’s likely that Lumberman might even be considering a relationship with Applejack, so he’d likely support you as well. Even from our friends, everypony has offered their support, even Pinkie and Rainbow Dash. If I had to imagine, even Princess Cadance and Luna would be just as accepting after all you have done for us. They want what’s best for you just like we do.”

Cerb had been taking in everything they told him.

If Sniff had gone full brony, and how could Chris not support him? Chris more than likely would have found himself a pony by this point, he figured. Hell, even the other ponies were in support of them getting together, or even trying to do the same with his friends. That could only make his true desire there all the more accessible.

“I keep saying everything with you two is too good to be true… but the two of you have gotten me closer to where I never thought I would be again, and I’m hoping after we make this official, you’ll help me reclaim my purpose in life.”

Those sounded like the words they were hoping for, and Fluttershy was ecstatic over it.

“Is that a yes?!”

Rarity was just as elated to hear his response.

“You want to make our romantic trio official?!

Perhaps Cerb wasn’t clear enough the first time and needed to make his intentions more clear.

“Yes.”

Without another word, both mares leaped up and threw their forelegs around Cerb’s neck, showering him with a flurry of kisses and thank yous. It was so much he couldn’t even return the gesture.

“Okay, okay, okay. Hold on a second. I still need your support on something.”

Rarity was gushing with delight, ready to take on whatever new requirements were needed.

“Anything, darling. You name it and you will have us behind you one hundred percent.”

Fluttershy wordlessly nodded in agreement, refusing to break contact to even speak.

Cerb took a deep breath, a sense of pride, long since lost, returning to him as he gave each mare a proper kiss on the lips. Only after that would he tell them what he wanted.

“We make a great team together. We click, and I think us coming together like this is a sign of what has to be done.”

Fluttershy nuzzled in under Cerb’s chin and against his neck.

“Just spit it out already. We have a lot of cuddling and kissing to catch up on.”

Cerb chuckled loudly and pulled his two mares in next to him in a strong embrace. The first they could all share without fear or hesitation.

“I’ve learned a lot since going into the Everfree with you. I’m not as ready as I need to be for much of anything. But with your help, I know I will be. And when I am, I want you both with me getting ready for the next big threat.”

Finally broken from her high of excitement, Fluttershy pushed away suddenly, already scared at what he was alluding to.

“What next big threat? Is there another Pony of Shadows we don’t know about?”

Cerb shook his head, not having anything particular in mind.

“There’s always a next big threat. That’s something Chris made very clear when we first got here, and the Pony of Shadow proved him right. The Changelings, Tirek, another Starlight Glimmer, or maybe the Pony of Shadows wasn’t the only one who brought us here to be a weapon. Whatever or whoever it is, I want to make sure we’re all ready so when they come, we beat their asses so bad no one ever thinks twice about fucking with us again.”

Rarity, oddly enough saw the logic in his thinking but wasn’t certain.

“I agree we need to be ready for anything, but we don’t want to see you get hurt again. You shouldn’t be the one out there fighting our battles.”

While her concern was appropriate, Cerb smiled knowing how this was going to play out.

“I think you’re overlooking something. We’re now a trio. So is Sniff with Twilight and Ovens. Maybe even Chris and Starlight or Lumberman and Apples. If we’re still a target, they could come for any of you to get to me and them. If they’re targeting you or the rest of your friends, whoever they’re after will need us to be ready. We’re in this together, and no one is going to come between us or threaten our friends, not without paying the price. Or do you think every villain and psychopath is going to call it quits just because we fell in love?”

Despite how much she wanted to turn back, Fluttershy knew there was no talking Cerb out of this, and she was in it for the long haul.

“Well, for now, we need to get your emotions in check, stop the nightmares, and focus on getting your leg back to working condition and retrained for heavy loads over rough terrain.”

Rarity rolled her eyes and grinned, realizing she’d be joining these two for whatever madness they wanted to drag her into.

“Fuck it,” She happily sighed before giving Cerb a firm kiss on the lips. “We need to find a way to make more bullets for your gun if you’re ever going to need it again. Also, while I do love the way your new uniform turned out, you’ll need better protection out there. I don’t want to be stitching you up every time you come to our rescue.”

Cerb gave his two mares another big hug, relishing in his great wish to return to fighting for those he cared for coming to fruition.

“I’m so glad I got done what I needed to do this morning. I have a surprise for the both of you that now won’t be so awkward as I was afraid it would be.”

“A surprise?” Rarity asked, her mind already working on what she should be expecting if it might have been awkward before he knew how they really felt about him.

Cerb laughed quietly to himself and stood up, leaving two disappointed mares left with so much affection undelivered.

“Benny wanted to pull an all-nighter for the party tonight, but we’re going to be leaving a bit early. I think we should go back to the house early so he doesn’t feel like we didn’t spend enough time over there. I’m gonna tell him a little lie that we’re heading back early because I need to rest up and heal, but we’re making one stop before heading to bed for the night.”

Fluttershy hopped off the couch, an extra spring in her step as she entered this new freedom of untethered restraints to her human stallion.

“Well, then let’s get going, but before we go, I need to do something.”

She fluttered up and, once eye level to Cerb, pulled him in for a kiss the likes Ovens had described that morning. A gentle parting of lips gave way to Cerb reciprocating until his tongue was aggressively overtaken by hers. A mutual exchange of enjoying the feeling from being so intensely intimate, on top of the surprising pleasant gentle hints of sweetness to their kiss left Cerb encouraging her for more.

After thoroughly enjoying the sensation of mashing tongues, Fluttershy pulled away, a sultry smile plastered on her face.

“We have a surprise for you at the party, too.”

Not to be out staged or left behind, Rarity flexed her magic around Cerb’s shirt and tugged on it enough to get his attention. Before they even locked eyes, she had him follow her guide down to her level on the couch.

Once in reach, she placed her hooves behind his head to pull him in for an equally passionate kiss, getting to enjoy the taste of two of her lovers' against her lips. It was the thing dreams were made of for as long as she allowed herself to keep him there before she would have tempted fate and likely force his pants off.

“Mmm… If you like your surprise, I assure you there will be plenty more in the days that come.”

Sniff opened the door for Twilight and followed her in.

"Hey, Ovens, you busy?"

Ovens looked around the empty sales floor.

"I'm uh… kinda swamped at the moment."

Twilight had a good giggle. It was no wonder Sniff and her got along so well. Hopefully, that would make her request easier to accept.

"We were wondering if you could help us out for a bit before the party tonight. We came over now because we didn't know how long this would take and… Peter could really use your help. We both do, actually."

Without hesitation, Ovens lit up her horn to flip the open sign to closed and locked the door.

"What do you need?"

Twilight took to making the request, hoping to save Peter some of the embarrassment.

"Peter and I had a long discussion about the dynamics of our shared relationship and he helped me get a better understanding of his… as well as your sexual needs. But I'm not comfortable yet with my own, so Peter has offered to give me all the time I need to figure it out so I can one day properly enjoy it myself."

Ovens wasn't overly surprised that Sniff and the Princess weren't at that point, given Sniff's hesitation, but didn't expect Twilight to be disinterested after that morning.

"Okay… so what do you need from me?"

Twilight’s cheeks flushed crimson and she forced the most pleading smile she could.

"Peter is horny and I'm not in a position to offer him my help, buuut I need to learn more about this. So, I was wondering if you would help him and let me observe?"

"I… you. What?" Ovens confusingly replied with what wasn't really a yes or a no, and she needed to ask a few questions first before she could give an answer.

"You want to watch us make out while he fingers me? Peter? This is one of the reasons I wanted to bring Twilight in with us in the first place. Now I have both of you coming to me during working hours to take care of your libido?"

Twilight smiled nervously, her embarrassment only growing.

"Well, maybe this will help me and I can take on more of his burdens for you."

Despite the mare's best attempts, this was going nowhere and Sniff was really in the mood for something his hand alone couldn’t satiate. Thus, he needed to improvise a little with a better insensitive.

"I'll make it worth your while with more than just a finger."

And just like that, Ovens started trotting over to the stairs with a complete 180 in her demeanor.

"Alright, let's do this. I was pretty horny myself anyway."

Following the giggles, Twilight and Sniff made it up to the loft, finding Ovens prancing in place on her bed. With no qualms of this arrangement, she started to set things in motion with her giddy instructions.

"Take a seat anywhere you like, Twilight. Peter, you let me get you out of those inconvenient clothes of yours and… has Twilight seen you naked yet?"

"No." Twilight bashfully answered. "I've only seen him without his shirt on. And once in his undergarments when we went swimming together, but it was dark so I couldn't see much."

With her anticipation growing, Ovens was giddier than necessary.

"Then you need to be up here with me. Oh! You can even help. Come on Peter. Arms up for Twilight."

Sniff grinned and did as he was told. Funny enough, what should have been awkward, if not comical with these two mares, their disrobing performance came off as a little kinky and kind of a turn on.

Together, the auras of their combined magic lifted Sniff's shirt. Next, Ovens undid the button to his pants while Twilight pulled down the zipper. Then they both pulled his pants down rather aggressively. Finally, the boxers were removed and the object of the baker's deepest desires was released, springing forward like a dream made real.

"Please tell me I get to have it today," Ovens lovingly asked as she eyed the object in question.

"Not right away," Sniff answered with a coy smirk as he stepped out of his socks and joined them on the bed. "Twilight wants to see what a loving embrace looks like. So we're going to take it nice and slow… then I'm going to keep you coming till you're mumbling gibberish again."

Ovens tensed up and blushed hard, her previous cockiness having shrunken away.

"I did not… I… that was moaning."

Sniff had her distracted. Perfect for letting him take the lead and put on a real example of what the art of eroticism looks like.

He started out by gently tugging Oven's chin closer and softly kissing her. Ovens tried to push in further and open to power right into a French kiss, but Sniff pulled back with only the upper lips touching.

He was going to toy with her if she wasn't going to play along.

"Slow and gentle," Sniff instructed her. "Then you'll get your reward."

Ovens giggled and pulled back on her excitement.

"Why do you have to be so cruel before you start being nice?"

It was all lighthearted play and Ovens started over as they had their first time. Their kisses were slow and soft, as she was shortly thereafter rewarded with his hands reaching out to trace over her.

Sniff caressed his hands up and down her neck, softly feeling over her cheek, then ran them through her mane. More compliance meant more rewards, making Sniff move in a way he hadn't before with her.

He pulled away from their kiss and moved to the headboard of the bed, letting his backrest against it. Sitting upright and leaning back only slightly, he invited Oven to try something new with him.

"Turn around and back up so you can sit on my lap. I'll help you with the rest."

All that excitement quickly returned and she eagerly moved as he instructed. She backed up, welcoming his hands on her flanks that guided her back and slowly helped her down. Nearing where she wanted to be, she looked down between her legs as Sniff shifted his right hand down to move his hard cock out farther away from his abdomen.

Her hopes quickly changed when he pushed his cock out father and pulled her back to avoid taking her.

Was this another tease? She was being good! Where's the reward? She was just sitting above his lap, no dick inside her.

"Lean back against me," Sniff instructed, reaching his hands up under her forelegs while carefully pulling her back against his chest.

As Twilight continued to take in her observations, she couldn’t get over how it was such an odd sightseeing a ponies genitals put on display so gratuitously. Even stranger was seeing a human's erection. It almost looked like it didn't belong on his body the way it was so confusingly attached, yet she wanted to touch it herself. Examine it more thoroughly. Maybe another time when they were alone?

Having a good hold on his anxious mare, Sniff let Oven's upper body slide down to his left and held her upright, but the odd position became clear as he let his erection fall against her wet folds and nuzzled her cheek. That nuzzle quickly turned into a peck and a gentle nudge.

Oven Fresh was in no mindset to care anymore that Twilight was watching them. She wanted another mare to help keep up with Sniff, and he clearly needed more than she could provide. So not only was she fine with helping Twilight learn the ropes, and hopefully, take the proverbial reins herself, Sniff was giving her so much more of himself than before.

Just feeling his cock flex against her gave her a thrill greater than anything else he had teased her with. But as soon as she took the subtle hint from his nudge and turned to face him, they kissed.

He made a shift with his hand to her free hoof and guided it down to his cock. There, he placed her frogs around the tip of his glands pressed it against the length of her slit.

They never broke from their kiss, not until Ovens drew in a deep breath that nearly broke out into a whine, but settled into a long moan.

That's when Sniff drew back to help her understand what they were doing.

"I'm going to work you up for a bit. Show Twilight why you like to have my helping hands around. Then, you're going to hold me against you, just like this, and we will cum together. You want to do that with me?"

Greedily, Ovens pressed the length of his shaft against her, parting her lower lips, grinding one long stroke up against him.

"You know I do, but I wish you would rut me right now."

Sniff hummed out a tune of disapproval and pushed Oven's hoof away.

"Not yet. Gentle. Careful… and with the utmost care, I'll show you everything. You need to be patient with me."

As the pair continued on, Twilight’s eyes were glued to the duo, her attention completely encapsulated on the demonstration she was about to be given.

Overcome by his urges to please and too horny to resist, Sniff started with a slow introduction of his fingers up and down her slit. Like always, she shuttered at his touch, falling victim to the delightful sensations he brought out of her.

On the far side of the bed, Twilight was captivated by the display.

This wasn't exactly like the story, but even less like the movie where everything happened relatively fast. Even that actor’s actions were comically outpaced by the terrible dialogue. Of course, the sex was incredibly rougher than this with maybe only a few seconds touching each other. Still, though, the rough sex the movie showed seemed distant and anti-empathetic, selfish even.

What Sniff was currently showing her was slow, methodical, carefully guided by his partner’s movements. To a greater degree, even the simplest of moans or whimpers from what she enjoyed gave him the instructions he needed, removing the need to ask for what she liked.

Still, there was something to the way he touched her.

He was never rushed to get anywhere. It almost seemed as if the manner in which his three middle fingers rubbed her pussy was just as much for Twilight to enjoy as it was for Ovens.

All of it was a sensual, inviting display that led to his middle finger slowly pressing in until it nearly was swallowed. Still displaying his disciplined skills, he stroked here inner pink flesh. All clearly observed as his mare’s increasing moans pleaded for more, yet he held his pace.

Resigned to her loving human’s hands, Ovens placidly did her best to hold steady in their lewd spectacle. The slightest touch was enough to have her aching for more.

It was already an addiction, discovering new thrills to tempt her human lover into trying something more involved than the last, making her climax come on faster, last longer, hit harder. If at the very least to see how much longer she could last… which was a losing battle on many fronts.

Here, with Twilight watching, the build-up was tentatively ebbing higher like their first night. It made their fun last longer, but once his teasing turned to pleasing, the peak came on so much faster than had he simply thrust into her.

She could feel it build, billowing up so abruptly, yet still out of reach. She had to encourage him with something.

Shocked, Twilight watched the side of her dear human lover’s cheek bulged with Oven's tongue. She wasn't just kissing him deeply, she was lapping up everything she could while her labored breath huffed louder. It was almost more than he could visibly handle, but that must have been his cue as he cupped his entire hand against Ovens, plunging his middle finger deeper into her now dripping divide.

The two had barely started, but Ovens rocked her head back with shallow gasps and hushed moans. Her mouth opened and her eyes closed as if she was about to scream, as her chest rose high with her back arching while her legs recoiled and twitched.

What should have been a cry of ecstasy was a silent moment where Ovens held her breath, only the faint, slick noises of her slit being strummed over with the quickening pace of the hand that pleased her was heard.

It was a tense moment of near-silence until Ovens quim flexed around her lover’s hand did her gasp escaped with a happy hum. Dreamishly lost in her release, her body withered softly through her first orgasm for her one mare audience.

Twilight was left as speechless as Ovens, not nearly as out of breath, but the words for what the intimacy of a human lover and a mare could be was… it was everything the story tried to describe, yet so much more real than what the movie depicted.

This union they had formed was the definition of intimacy and euphoria made flesh for her to witness. It was beautiful and excited Twilight in a way the written word could never have scribed with the justice it deserves.

The tender approach and graceful climax she rode… Twilight’s desire to lay in the trusted hands with the man she lovingly called Peter grew to more than a curiosity. In only…

"Holy shit…" she thought to herself.

Even after watching Pinkie, it was amazing to see that from the beginning of only feeling his cock against her until her climax, that couldn’t have been more than five minutes! Most of that was just him teasing her.

Either this mare was highly sensitive or the human touch was more powerful than Twilight could have ever imagined. If only she had lost her hundred bits to that kind of massage.

Finally gaining her senses, Twilight realized that was all that had passed. Too enthralled in watching the carnal acts, mindlessly trying to unravel the mystery that was this unknown sexual desire she had discovered. A desire that Ovens had not only embraced but unapologetically reveled in.

All those profound thoughts from only moments of watching her herd mate? Was that what they were now? That's what it was called in the story, but none of them ever addressed it as such.

Falling out of her mental queries again, she noticed Sniff's hand was speeding up? How easily was she distracted by her own thoughts? Why was he speeding up if in these few seconds of getting lost in her thoughts if Ovens orgasm had even ended?

As if receiving an apology for the short-lived rendezvous in the kitchen earlier that morning, a long subtle whine started to grow deep within Ovens from Sniff continuing their display. Her voice weakly mumbled through the straining depths within her as the feigning climax was hijacked into nearing another peak.

"Mmm, faster," Ovens meekly pleaded. "Put it in."

Sniff switched the motion of his strokes back to his middle fingers but ran them in circles over her clip.

Ovens panted and moaned as her stimulation rose higher towards a new pinnacle.

"Put it in deep when I cum, please," She whimpered desperately. "I want to feel you rut meeeee-mmm."

Again, Ovens filled her lungs and arched her back, but this time her chin hung low and her entire face clenched.

"Gah!"

Her voice poured out and her body fell limp with her legs spreading wide to be penetrated.

The second orgasm crescendoed and she wrapped her right foreleg around the back of Sniff's neck, holding tight to anchor herself. It was all she could do to hold on while the finger continued to edge her orgasm from declining.

The pace wasn't slow, neither was it a hasty rhythm. It followed her inner contractions, pushing in deeper as it tightened and retracting just as the grip relaxed. He followed these motions until he felt her muscles relax around him. It was then that he straightened his hand and delivered rapid strides in and out of her hungry snatch.

Ovens cried out and locked her legs out to both sides, pushing her hips forward, holding firm as her seeping wet pussy was vigorously violated.

The ravaging stabs only encouraged the desperate moans and deep hollowed pants Ovens expelled. Sporadic quacks in her posture and the occasional thrust of her hips against Sniff's palm were the perilous acts of a shameless mare in need.

This… this was closer to the movie. It was fast and unbelievably intense. Yet, Sniff was still in control. While one hand fucked his mare without mercy, the other was caressing her, comforting her, and supporting her through her maddening reception of lust.

After the lengthy clamorings of Oven’s rapturous declarations finally ended, her legs gave out, she fell in an exhausted heap. She laid there in the confines of her lover’s embrace, glowing with a gasping smile, still panting with whispered hums from lingering waves of her wild ride echoing through her body.

"Peter… you were-" It was so difficult to keep a sentence going without having to catch her breath. "Holding out on me. I never… came like this before."

"Yes, you have," Peter answered in a low seductive tone before kissing her.

Despite her passion still running high, he noticed how restrained she was when kissing him back. Her state of muted aggression as she fought through against her weakened state left Sniff humming happily over her momentary inability to escalate their wantonness acts of depravity.

"Just not as fast or for as long,” he humorously answered. “I just needed more time in the kitchen with you to know what your body was telling me, showing me all the things you never knew. Now, how about a few more before we cum together?"

Oven’s smile widened, hoping she knew what was next.

"Only if you do that thing where you wiggle your- Ohhouu~"

Not that Twilight wasn’t loving what she was seeing, it just somehow felt like perhaps they forgot she was there. Was she only supposed to watch and not ask questions or receive commentary? Not even an explanation?

Ovens hummed happily as her inner depths were strummed with the rhythmic flexing she obscenely mewed over.

"Mmm, Twilight… you have no idea what you're-Ahh! Emm… missing."

"Now-Now," Sniff playfully spoke to his favorite baker, never pulling back on his ministrations. "She's not ready. You're just supposed to enjoy me enjoying you. Are you going to be a good little pony for me?"

The answer was an astounding, "Yes!" as Sniff increased the speed of his finger and brought about another blissful orgasm.

Wonderfully pleased with his results, Sniff grinned.

"Let's show Twiggels how long you can keep this going and how good this can be. Do you want to kiss me again?"

Ovens gave a throaty groan as she neared another peak, only for Sniff to back off enough to let it fade lower for her to clearly speak.

"Yes, but-" In a sloppy maneuver, she levitated over their bottle of bourbon. "Just a sip?"

Of all the things Twilight had witnessed, this would be what would draw out her first question.

“You two get drunk when you have sex?”

Ovens readjusted herself a little more as she uncapped the bottle. Sniff could have done it, had she not been holding his hand in place between her thighs.

“No. I just like the taste. The burn is nice, too. Just a little something extra we tried during our first time together like this. We don’t even use much.”

Sniff held a bit of an embarrassed smile, given how this was unlike anything he had admitted to explaining to Twilight he had done. That, on top of this never coming up in his explanations of sex in general. Kinks wasn’t something he properly tackled earlier.

"It's not uncommon for someone to have a quirk with things they like during sex… are you doing okay with only watching us so far?"

Was that an invitation to join? What did he want her to do if it was? She couldn't tell, though it mattered little since she still lacked the confidence to try anything.

"Y-y-yes. It's so very interesting. The way you… everything you do is so efficient. I never knew these things were possible.” She quickly changed her focus to Ovens. “What does it feel like when you climax? Your first time looked like somepony having tension released from a massage, but after that, it looked so intense, and your last one looked almost painful until you came, and then it looked... peaceful."

Ovens had enough time to calm herself to speak clearly, though still with some dreamy overtones.

"I can't explain how it feels. It's beyond amazing, and no two ways he does it make them feel the same. When you're ready… you have to try all of them. There's still so much more I want to do."

Maybe it was the fact that Twilight was there, maybe it was a weakness of wanting to give Ovens more, or maybe it was the fact that Sniff was so horned up that he wanted more for himself. Whatever the reason, if not for all of them, he decided to alter his plans for what he was willing to offer.

"How about we change things up a bit then? Give me a taste of that bourbon first. And Twilight, if you're comfortable with it, and same for you Ovens, I think there's something we can all do together. Though I admit I might be asking too much of both of you, but I don't know what your comfort levels with each other are."

Suddenly, Twilight's mind went back to the story again, making her apprehensively recoil back some.

"I'm not a fillyfooler, if that's what you're thinking."

"If it's with you, I'll try anything," Oven Fresh offered, which might not have been helpful since it could have been directed at either of the two.

With the two not in agreement, Sniff figured his good idea was too good to be true and chalked it up as a bust. So, given the lack of shared enthusiasm, he had to play the mediator between the two to stop any harsh feelings from escalating.

"I don't know what that word is, but if you mean you're not into doing anything with a mare, that's fine. I didn't know where your limits were with this."

Sadly, it was too late for Ovens. Her curiosity had her wondering what else could be done if it meant a better orgasm could be given. Even by adding more bodies to the equation, she wasn’t sure what Twilight could do.

“I can’t say I want to do anything with Twilight either, but what did you want us to try?”

Sniff tilted his head back to the bottle in the air and took a quick drink. Honestly, he was surprised he’d done this much while sober. Then again… thinking with his dick is what led him here in the first place.

“I was going to see if she wanted to hold her hoof against me while I rub you off with my dick instead of my finger. That way I’d have both hands free, we could try something new, and she could get a feel of me and what gets you off.”

“Only my hoof?” Twilight asked, her own curiosity getting the better of her as she looked at the aforementioned limb.

From the sound of Twilight, Sniff wondered if maybe she had more liberal limits after all.

“It wouldn’t be anything like you told me you learned earlier at the house. I don’t want to pressure you into anything you're not comfortable with. So, it’s fine. We can do something together, just you and me when and if you're ready.”

Twilight looked again at what bit of Sniff’s cock was still visible between Oven’s legs and thought about what it would be like to touch it. More so, what would it be like to touch Ovens, even? She hadn’t even touched herself since learning about any of this. Not only that, but she was also still so new to all this that she had no idea what her own limits were?

“I… think I can do that. And sorry about saying fillyfooler. It was something I read that might not even be real. This is still so radically unfamiliar and… I can’t seem to wrap my head around all of it. There might be things I’m willing to try with both of you, if we all want to someday. For now though, maybe a little hooves on examination might help me understand more. If you don’t mind, Ovens.”

With what little clarity Ovens retained, she noticed a sudden spike in the scent of clovers in the room. Getting Twilight involved had raised Sniff’s arousal, and that always meant more of him she could receive. So, if that’s what it was going to take, she spread her legs open to let it happen.

“If it were just you and me, Twilight, this probably wouldn’t happen, but I’d take up baking in the Everfree Forest if it meant I could have Peter rut me. So, if this is the closest I can get right now, I’ll consider this a favor I owe you for.”

Much to Twilight’s relief, Ovens didn’t seem to be interested in her either. That took away a lot of her concerns of ending up in an even more confusing three-way relationship like Fluttershy and Rarity had started. Ovens had recently become a trusted friend, not anypony she’d ever consider being physical with. Even so, agreeing to this still gave her a nervous giggle.

“For as much as you’re enjoying him, I really do hope I get to experience what he can do myself. This shouldn’t be too much for me to handle, though.”

With a little more repositioning, and Sniff’s hand free and borrowing a little natural lubrication from Ovens, Twilight’s hoof was in place.

“This feels so…” Twilight was surprised how Sniff’s penis felt in her hoof. “It’s so warm and firm. If I didn’t know any better I’d say there’s more of a sensation to the touch than anything else I’ve felt on you before.”

Barely able to contain herself, Ovens was anxious to get this started, not being able to describe how right Twilight was.

“You have no idea just how right you aaaaahhhh-oooh… Oh, my Celestia, Twilight don’t stop what you’re doing.”

Twilight froze, all she had done was stroke her hoof up Sniff’s shaft to get a better feel of his anatomy.

“I’m sorry. What did I do?”

Ovens rolled her hips and slid her pussy up Sniff’s length, feeling a new level of pleasure that was noticeably different from his hand.

“Ohhhhh. We need to do this more often. Press his cock into me more. I’ll repay the favor when it’s your turn.”

Even Sniff couldn’t downplay how nice it felt to be even this close to sex again.

“Twi, I was just going to have you hold still while I do all the work, but if you can keep doing that, for the love of God, please do.”

As Ovens took her downward slide on Sniff’s shaft, she let out a low grunt and a sharp whine as she felt the head of his cock glide against her clit.

Twilight was still frozen, feeling both of them grind against her hoof left her dumbfounded on how to respond.

The slick textures of both of their genitals moving against each other and over her were waking something up inside her. Even the mixed aromas of Sniff’s clovers and sea salt along with the ripe sweetness from Ovens had her feeling anxiously excited to be more involved.

All these new discoveries and what they meant somehow took a backseat as she started moving her hoof again. She was enjoying herself and only thinking about how best to help her new herd mates.

Of course, one thought led to another and Twilight was getting lost in her head.

“Are they my herd mates? That’s such a stupid name… but I can’t think of anything else that really fits. We don’t need to be married to be a herd, but none of us are each other’s special someponies either. We’re just dating Peter at the same time… and sleeping with him or being finger fucked in a kitchen… or helping them both almost fuck each other with my hoof. WHY THE FUCK AM I DOING THIS?!”

Twilight put her thoughts on hold to reexamine what she agreed to try with them.

Ovens had her neck stretched out to finally have that bourbon kiss she wanted so badly. Sniff was working his hands over Oven’s barely developed breast, rubbing his fingers over her nipples. All the signs that Ovens was loving it were there, so that was something both the story and the movie seemed to get right.

“This is unreal. I’ve never wanted to touch a stallion’s penis before. Now I’m rubbing Peter’s? I’m even rubbing Oven Fresh’s vagina. What kind of pony does that? Well, I probably would in Chris’s story... And fuck you, Chris. Not literally, obviously. I’m pretty sure Starlight already is anyways. I wish I would have known… but why would they tell me? It’s none of my business… except for when they weren’t supposed to be getting close… But maybe she knew better and doesn’t have to share him… Is Peter’s dick growing or… can a penis flex?”

Twilight gripped her frogs around Peter’s cock as it flared again. That by itself caused a slight jolt in his breath and made his body tense up.

“Does Peter have his own signs for when he feels extra pleasure?”

She squeezed again, this time around the head of his cock, triggering an even stronger response. “Oh, my word. He does! This is actually kinda fun. And he does seem to be happy. I can’t be mad about this if it makes him happy. I wonder how much happier I can make him with another little squeeze?”

Twilight stroked her hoof up and flexed her frogs around the tip of his cock again right as it fell under Oven’s pink sugar plum. They both gave a jolt and took a deeper breath as they kissed.

Twilight was helping more than she thought any of this would… Wasn’t this her first-day dating Sniff? Her thoughts were a mess.

“I can’t believe I’m helping Peter and Oven Fresh have almost-sex with each other. I know I still don’t understand… what is it about this I’m not getting? Peter’s cock feels amazing against my hoof, and even if… shit… even Oven Fresh’s pussy feels nice and… Gah! Who am I kidding? She even smells good.”

The intense feeling of a slick human cock coated with his mares hot cum titillated her senses that formed a bubbly knot in her stomach.

“This is so gross, yet I can’t stop enjoying it. But why does It seem like everypony wanting to be with their human is going crazy for the chance to have this? Fuck! Even my pussy is starting to tingle. Does that mean I’m horny? Am I only feeling this because I’m... is this jerking him off? That’s what the movie called it, but I don’t have hands and this is just rubbing him, her… them!”

Despite her warring thoughts, Twilight tried to alternate her strokes for which one she was pleasing, continuing with her extra grips to make them tense and gasp.

“Would I want more if I tried giving him a blow job? I should ask first. No, this is their time. I’m only here to learn… but Peter said I didn’t have to ask if I didn’t want to. And I’m doing more than just learning. I’m… Goddamnit, what do I even call this? I’m not going to start making shit up like Wonder Rush… I wonder what it will be like when Peter has a Wonder Ruuuuu-fuck! Now they’ve got me thinking about it!”

Now at war with her thoughts, but fighting with her body's depleting strength, Oven’s movements began to speed up, though now she struggled to keep rhythm with kissing.

Regardless of the loss of rhythm, Sniff compensated for her and gave another grope over her breast. It grew to be too much and she tightened her grip around Sniff, trapping him along with Twilight’s helpful hoof.

“Those little grunts and groans are so cute,” Twilight thought to herself as a blush started to burn her cheeks. “And her whimper is adorable… Goddamnit… She’s done so much for me, I shouldn’t feel weird about helping her since she’s helping me… Although, I wonder what it feels like when she Wonder Rrr… cums?”

Ovens was seconds away, it was going to be big. The build-up from going so slow was about to be released and she bit her lower lip as she lost control of her hips.

Her body trembled and her every muscle that craved penetration convulsed in a desperate attempt to pull something of length in.

Having his cock pressed against her, and Twilight forcing his length against her even harder than before, matching in tandem their strokes against the cock between them, was impossibly good. Her body reacted stronger to this than his hand tempted her with.

Meanwhile, Twilight was enthralled with the reaction she helped create and her silent observations ran rampant.

"Look at her! She's cumming just like the girls in the movie! There's so many fluids! Is it because of me or Peter?! She said she wanted to feel his dick, is that why she's like this? Do emotions play a role in sexual gratification?"

She decided to test the theory by egging the lustful mare on more.

"You really want his cock inside you, Ovens. It's so close, I could press it in if I wanted to."

It was a miracle Ovens could comprehend anything being said to her, let alone formulate a response with all her moans that had her falling away from all the kissing she had only moments ago.

“Ahh! Ohh! Yes! Please! I want him to rut me! Please put him in me! Ahh! I need! Emmm! Ahh! Please!”

Sniff was diligently taxing himself on giving Ovens the most he could, and hearing the cries of passion and desire for more only emboldened him. He smiled deviously and raised the mare’s chin to attack her neck with kisses and gentle nibbles.

Twilight wanted to see how much more of a reaction it would cause and decided to use her free pass to act on her own accord.

She watched and felt along with the trust, looking for the point of least resistance. When she thought she had it, she stroked her hoof up over the head of Sniff’s cock and pressed down, forcing him into the depraved opening the baker so desperately wanted filled.

… It was an inch and a half of pure ecstasy that ended with more than her practice would allow her to comfortably handle.

“Aoh! Push it in more!”

Not that she cared enough to let that stop her. Not even the pain of trying to force more in and spreading her open stopped her from pushing her hips further down with little to gain from it.

Sniff, on the other hand, he cared. This was going too fast and he could tell from Oven's change in moans and posture that she was hurting herself.

At the same time, however, he was at war with himself in his head.

"Fuck-Fuck-Fuck! She's too tight! Goddammit, she feels so fucking good, though. I gave her too much! But they both want this!"

In a questionable judgment call, he moved for a compromise and reached under from the side and took hold of as much of his cock as he could. It was a quick save to stop from stretching her out any further. So, despite knowing it was better to pull out and offer something else…

"God damn you feel amazing," he shamelessly admitted.

She was tight, of course, but despite knowing how much hotter her body was, how slick, and smooth, or gloriously wet she could get while he fingered her, she had a pussy made for taking dick.

Now knowing that for sure after this slip-up, there wasn't enough willpower in his body to stop what had started. After nearly two weeks of not even getting a blow job, having to jerk off alone twice, and once with Ovens only watching while he fingered her… he was pent up. He needed this more than he would allow himself to admit. The only thing making it worse was Ovens was still trying to make this rut happen.

In the moment, he thought he had it all. Ovens and Twilight were just as human to him as any woman back on Earth.

Ovens loved every erotic act he shared with her, and always wanted more. Not only more for her, more for him. She practically gift-wrapped him a princess that was helping him fuck the mare that brought her into this monument of sin and depravity.

Twilight… what had happened to the innocent nerdy princess he knew and loved talking to? The purple alicorn in front of him was grinning madly and fixated on watching Ovens slam her pussy down with as much force she could despite only being given an inch to work with down on his cock.

Watching wasn't enough for her, though. She was still stroking her hoof up and down, helping Ovens continued flow of overstimulation.

It was all so twisted and wrong, but while the sexually repressed mares were finding their outlets within this relationship, he was still trying to hold out on his. But their lustful search for carnal delights and willingness to please were too tempting.

"I wasn't going to go this far but you two are so fucking hot together."

Using his other hand to hold Ovens in place, Sniff began to take over and pumped himself in and out of the shallow depths he was forced into.

His pace started off timidly. Not so slow as to ward off her next climax, she'd barely finished riding this one out. It was steady and nearly matched what she had been thrusting down with, given her limited movement.

This was to be his guilty pleasure, an exception to his plan, but he wanted to make it last.

After a few minutes and a few more mind-shattering orgasms, Ovens’s sensitivity grew to be too much for Twilight’s help.

"Twilight? Could you stop for a while? It was amazing, but-Aha!... it's too much, now."

"It's okay, Twi," Sniff tried to reassure her. "She can only handle so much. You actually kept her going longer than I can. You can just watch now if you like."

Momentarily worried she might have done something wrong, Twilight sat back, an enthusiastic smile still shining bright.

"That was incredible. I've never felt… I don't know what I felt, but it certainly makes me want to figure this all out so I can try it myself. What else can you two show me."

Sniff chuckled, bemused with how he had betrayed himself into giving so much ground. Stll, seeing Twilight’s nerdy side return helped make him feel less guilty about it.

"Slow down, there, now. I’ve got to break this cutie in. No need giving everything all at once. Plus, I told her we'd cum together this time."

He gently nudged Ovens with his nose, a subtle touch to get her attention.

"We might not be doing this too often until you're ready for more. So, do you want to keep going or should we tone things down a bit?"

Oven Fresh turned and pulled Sniff down till their lips almost touched.

"You know I want more."

Needing no further prompting, Sniff led into the kiss and continued the teasing probe as Twilight continued to observe.

His motions were much like before, only now she had full view. Feeling the action was exciting, but there was something hypnotizing from watching them come so close to nearly fully rutting.

Just the way their bodies slowly learned to move in rhythm with each other, the parting of those soft mounds of moist flesh for his hard cock. Even the motion of skin that would slide through his fingers as he stroked himself back in and then retract to reveal his mare’s pink inner workings.

It all fit so perfectly, the miracles of two mismatched species merging physically for a beautiful union that had brought these two so close together. Every climax she had, only further proving how right this was.

Watching her, helplessly lost to the waves of pleasure, fully trusting her lover with so much more than her body.

Thoroughly convinced from the spectacle, Twilight had found her desire for this. Though, not just herself, she wanted more of this for her herd mates.

Yeah, fuck it. There was no better name for their shared relationship at this point.

Currently getting it, Ovens felt a shift in pace. Sniff was pushing harder, thrusting faster, holding himself in longer. He was getting close, very close, and the thought of him cumming inside her drove her wild.

She was going to help him, make it everything he needed and wanted. The next stroke up she pushed back harder, a tearing pain mixing in with the pleasure of having him that much deeper.

“Peter, please don't hold back. I know you want to rut me."

These two mares together made each of them such a powerful temptress. He did want to rut her, he ached for the chance to plunge deep until his balls were racking against her and emptying his load while fucked her until he came again.

So, maybe just a little more.

He thrust again, feeling her push him in until he hit stronger resistance. She flexed in pain but moaned like a harlot. Again, but faster he slammed his cock up into what little gains he made.

Again, and again and again, with a vice-like grip around his shaft he worked each other until the need to climax took hold and he held her in place to use her body for his own needs. The pace was faster than she could have kept up with even if he would have let her move.

His mouth drew open, panting along with her. It was becoming too much all over again for her. The speed, the friction of his cock violating her, the pain mixed with pleasure. She came again, hard enough to force him in deeper than he was before, only amplifying everything.

As she climaxed, her pussy squeezed him, desperately trying to, pull him in further. He felt the heat rise up and he squeezed tighter around his cock. One last violent thrust in and his release finally came as he pulled out, coating his lover with arching threads of white over her chest and belly.

He was so close, too close in fact. Even still, as the last traces of cum leaked freely, he painted rough strokes over her clit with his cock, making her gasp and strain her hips to press him harder against her.

Twilight could feel her heart racing and her mind fill with a warm fuzzy haze. No source of media could capture what she just witnessed. All she had learned drove her curiously to reach out for them again.

As Sniff milked the last of his cum from his cock, still catching his breath, he was blindsided with a question from Twilight.

"Is she supposed to suck you off now?"

Ovens seemed to react to the question, though only with a moan and a twitch as she could barely move now.

"Peter… Twi… one of you… move me down…I'll do it… I just need… can't move… want… more… but can't… Twi… I need… to ask… sharing… more girls… can't… rut enough… on my own for… him."

Peter was hoping he didn't just hear her what he thought she said.

"What?... Ovens? What are you… Ovens?"

Twilight looked away from the mess made in front of her and saw Ovens blissfully sleeping.

"Did she pass out? Are you that good or this bad?"

Sniff carefully rolled the baker onto her side and freed himself.

"I think it's kind of cheating with my magic touch, but yeah, it's normal. The same thing happened our first night together in bed. Too much stimulation I guess. She'll probably wake her in a few, still horny."

So long as Ovens was fine, then maybe they could chat for a while.

"Thank you for letting me share this with you two. Was what I did helpful?"

Sniff quietly laughed for a moment as he tried to properly phrase exactly what he’d felt.

"You did a lot more than I thought you would have. And I really wasn't expecting you to push me in for her. So, you'll certainly be getting a big thank you from Ovens when she wakes up."

Twilight chuckled quietly, thinking of how true that probably was.

“I can’t believe how much better our lives are having you in it. I don’t think anypony would have known about this. I can’t even think about how they’d be able to enjoy it the way you two can. The way all of us can enjoy, hopefully,” she finished saying with a blush.

“Twigs?” Sniff started to speak, a mix of shameless happiness and worry mixing in his words.

“This is something wonderful to share, and don’t get me wrong, watching you rub us off together and making her cum for as long and as hard as she did, I hope we can do this again. However, try to keep just doing stuff with me to just you and me for right now.”

Twilight blushed and forced an embarrassed smile as she was reminded of how she was still very in the dark about the whole thing.

“Sorry. I guess I got caught up in the moment watching her react the way she did and how she enjoyed it… I figured that giving her what she wanted would make things even better. Was it better for you? Isn’t sex better that way?”

Sniff comically rolled his eyes.

“There’s a bit more to it than just doing the most and giving the best as fast as possible. A few days ago she had her first kiss. The first night we were together, just a finger was the most she could take, and today she had both me starting to take her vaginally while you rubbed her off. Most of it while kissing me and me feeling her up, it’s like one day learning a basic spell and the next doing advanced magic without the framework that should lead up to it.”

Twilight suddenly had a noticeable downturn in her appearance after Sniff broke things down in a language she could properly understand.

“Oh… So, I should probably not-”

“Stop,” Sniff playfully cut Twilight off. “You were right that we both wanted it, and we both certainly enjoyed it. Even jumping ahead a little bit can stand out as a new goal for her to comfortably get to. You didn’t do anything wrong or do any damage, but this was good. We learned a lot about what we all like. You found some things that interest you, and we found out that we need to work a little more on communication. Does that sound like something you should be frowning over?”

"No," Twilight humorously answered. "Though, I do still think I might need a little more time before I do anything more than lending a hoof with you two. And it's nothing against you two, I just… don't feel it?"

Sniff cocked an eyebrow, almost in disbelief she would be this adventurous but not want more. Then again, now that his mind was clear, he needed to pace things better himself and he decided to support her decision.

"That's fine, really, but I'm a little confused by what you mean. Do you wanna talk about it? And hey, come here."

Happy to accept the invite, Twilight was inside his open arms to lay next to him and joined the two. Laying alongside him, resting her head on his chest, she found herself comfortable in his embrace yet again, ready to explore this venture even further.

"I don't know how to explain it. Everything I've learned makes me think sex is supposed to be amazing, and I see how enjoyable it can be. Both as a fantasy and with you two. But considering the amount of trust you're supposed to have with whoever you're having sex with, but given how private you all are about it… I can't help but feel that there's still something I'm missing. Something that drives a pony to want to seek it out. Like there's another element to this not being explained to me."

There was a lot Sniff wanted to say about what she was feeling. Sex was and wasn’t everything he had shown her, but it was hard to put to words.

“Sex is more complicated than we make it look. By itself, it’s just an act, just a thing to do and enjoy. It could also be something instinctual, the basic necessity to breed or instincts we fulfill when that need for release happens. I think you’re looking for the emotional connection that comes with it, which was something I was worried about earlier with Ovens or somepony else.”

“Emotional connection?” Twilight asked. “What kind of emotional connection? Do you mean like loving somepony?”

Sniff stroked his hand down Twilight’s neck, thinking of how to explain it without getting lost in dialogue.

“For some, they can’t enjoy or even consider being physically intimate with someone unless they’re in love with them and know it’s going to be part of a long term, committed relationship. Others just need some deeper connection, not just friends, but… it’s so hard to pin down or properly label and identify. It’s a little different for everyone. You just feel it… other times it’s simply lust from an attraction and you want to enjoy the physical side of things with them.”

Twilight listened attentively, working her foreleg up Sniff’s abdomen, gently feeling over his skin.

“What made you want to have sex with us? Is it just an act for you, more of an act of lust, or something with a deeper meaning for you?”

That was a harder question for Sniff to answer. Mostly because he hated to admit his faults.

“A little bit of all of it, I guess. I love the feeling of physical intimacy like this. Mostly, I love making who I’m with feel special, pleasuring them, and feeling the appreciation that comes from an act that requires so much acceptance. People are scared they won’t be desired because of how they look, their personalities, what others think about them, or afraid of what someone will think of them because of what they find erotic or sensual. But if you find someone who is willing to share that with you and not pass judgment and enjoy it with you… it’s like the secret part of you that that you keep hidden away is validated and considered important to who it’s being shared with. Kind of like how you’re a total nerd who loves deep philosophical discussions and picking apart or breaking down how things work. I imagine you don’t open up and fully share that intrigue with just anyone, right?”

Twilight giggled and hugged a little tighter, remembering that was what first brought them closer together.

“Me being a nerd and us talking about social constructs, multiverse theory, or the dynamics of friendship is completely different from getting your dick hard and rutting Oven Fresh until she passes out from exhaustion.”

Sniff chuckled and litely flicked Twilight’s ear.

“Says the non-expert on sex. And no, it’s not literally the same, but the concept is. You appreciated me taking an interest in that part of you, sharing it, hearing you out and engaging you with it to a passionate level. For some people, that creates the mental stimulation they need to want to make things physical. That might not be what you need, but you just haven’t found what it is you need to take what’s in your head to want to make things physical. Or maybe you’re just not confident in trying to do something you don’t think you’re proficiently versatile in. You might need time to be more physically comfortable with me, or maybe even yourself before you’re willing to let those guards down and take the plunge into this unknown.”

Despite the amazing breakdown Sniff gave her, and how some of those theories seemed to fit, it didn’t clear up her own indecisiveness.

“If I didn’t like you so much, I’d hate you for making me feel so stupid sometimes.”

Sniff chuckled and went back to giving her some lovely strokes wherever his hands could reach.

“Don’t underestimate how smart you are. You’re far more attractive when you’re confident.”

Twilight hummed happily and nuzzled in closer. Laying with Sniff might not have given her the same thrills or the rush of excitement learning about sex with him gave her, but it was so much more calming and fulfilling.

“I used to think I was so confident in myself. That I knew so much about everything that I could tackle any problem that came my way so I could help anypony and make Equestria a better place… but for as much as I hate to admit all the respect and admiration I’ve lost for Celestia, she did help me to see that I didn’t understand the importance of friendship. I had to learn the hard way that I needed friends and allow myself to open up and see how important it is to have those kinds of relationships. Nopony ever told me how important it would be to find a more loving and intimate relationship.”

Sniff softly stroked his fingers through her mane, knowing full well he was letting her walk into the very thing he was afraid of ruining her with… unless maybe she could be different and offering him something he didn’t think was possible.

“That’s what I’m here for. I’ll show you there’s something better in life waiting for you. You just need a little help getting built up and shown what there is waiting for you.”

Twilight curled in around Sniff, laying her leg over his and pulling herself up further over him.

“I make so many mistakes when I don’t have that confidence in me. That’s why I froze up when Luna was angry about Cerb’s nightmares, why I snapped at you, and freaked out when I found out you were omnivores. Oh, yeah… I know you all used to eat meat by the way. Found that out when Fluttershy accidentally said she’d be safe with a large predator like Cerberus with her in the forest.”

“Sorry,” Sniff weakly apologized.

“Don’t be,” Twilight softly answered. “I know you all won’t do anything because of it. Cerb and Fluttershy explained it to me, and Rarity told me why they didn’t tell me in the first place… I still can’t believe how easily you all learned to adapt and tackle every new threat you’ve faced and integrated with our culture when we’ve struggled to do the same with you. How do you do it?”

Sniff slowed his strokes, thinking back to the evolution of things and all that’s happened along the way.

“Don’t think we haven’t had our freak-outs or bad judgment calls. I seem to recall Lumberman nearly starting a fight because he brought up our emotional baggage and Cerb blowing a gasket over it. Hell… it’s safe to say that not being open at the start of things with any sexual connotations towards ponies made us uncomfortable is what led to a lot of our problems.”

A scary thought came to mind with that last observation that made her heart sink.

“Do you think we would have ever gotten this close if that wasn't the case? If you hadn't stepped away from all of your discomfort at the thought of dating and sex? Or that things could have been a lot different if we tried to cover ourselves up so you could see all of our bodies? That maybe knowing there was a line we couldn’t cross would have kept us apart?”

That was another hard-hitting question, though it was an observation that he had missed.

“Yeah… it probably would have, but that’s also a reason we didn’t bring it up. Because while Chris was probably cumming in his pants at the thought of being stuck here, the rest of us were scared. We knew so little about this place or if we could even trust any of you. Not that you weren’t nice and welcoming, but probably just like all of you, we didn’t want to say anything that could drive a wedge between us or make us look disrespectful… Except for me. I was an asshole.”

“Yeah… you were,” Twilight said with a giggle, but after a pause, the giggle returned and grew to something of near hysteria. “Oh, shit. Peter, I didn’t know what you were saying when we were charging the Elements to heal Kelly. Did you suck Chris’s dick like you said you would?”

Sniff was profoundly confused until he remembered trying to make light of all the chaos happening that night.

“Okay, I know you’re into watching me do stuff, but I really hope this isn’t a legit request you’re giving me.”

“No,” Twilight laughed. “The night we used the Elements to heal Kelly. You said that if it worked, you might suck his dick."

Sniff rolled his eyes, now embarrassed at the joke he’d made.

"No, I didn't literally mean it. You'll learn how these jokes work… Speaking of Chris, though, I wonder what our resident brony is up to? I haven’t been keeping track of that guy."

"Yes! Yes! Faster! Just like that!"

Prim Posy was nearing yet another orgasm as the other exhausted mares watched Chris eat out and finger the last one of the bunch to get a turn.

Elsewhere, still recovering, Derpy lay perched happily atop of the love seat, a blissful smile on her face shining down on Chris’s continued efforts.

“How much longer can you keep going, Chris? I think I might be good for a few more minutes when Prim is done.”

Cheerilee was just as exhausted from her second go with Chris.

“I need another turn first. I didn’t get to see what his finger felt like.”

Likewise, Redheart was sprawled out on the floor, laying on her back.

“Don’t be greedy. You were the first to try oral and came the closest to rutting him, aside from Starlight.”

Cream Heart was curled up in a nice comfy seat all to herself, holding a hoof to her crotch.

“Red, of the four of us who got to have our first time with Chris today, you need the least time with him. Not unless you’re going to share your training devices with us.”

Amused at the over-technical approach to such methods, Redheart huffed out a weak laugh.

“Training devices? I just borrowed some test tubes from work. Those things are a hay penny a dozen, but there aren't any big enough to get me ready for even two fingers, let alone handle being rutted. And Starlight, did you really rut him in front of us to see what we could look forward to, or were you not able to wait your turn? And why are you sitting like that?”

Starlight was laying back in a recliner, but her head was where her rear legs should be and her rear legs were where her head would normally rest. She wore the same drunken smile as the rest of them, but she seemed to have a near giddy expression about her.

“I wanted you all to see what Chris can do to a mare, but I also knew Chris was getting nervous, and he’s a lot calmer after cums in me. That’s also why I started with that kiss like we did and sucked him clean right after he came in me. Chris likes it when I get myself all worked up and rub myself on him and then go down on him. That’s the whole reason I was able to even set this up today. I knew it would get him motivated to not be so shy if you saw what he liked and wanted to do the same with him. That, and I love how swallowing him makes me feel.”

Cheerilee, for the first time, turned her eyes away from Chris. What Starlight said needed some more input.

“I was a little out of it when you did that and didn’t even think to ask. I know Chris enjoys it, and I wasn’t going to try and get him to stop once he started, but I thought it would have been… umm-”

“Disgusting?” Starlight asked, already knowing where the teacher’s mindset was. “I know what you mean. I had the same issue with Chris first wanting to do it to me. But after he explained it, saying that all he’s tasting is basically the same lube our mouths make so we can swallow food easier, it’s just like a normal kiss and tasting each other's saliva.”

Redheart had been glued to watching Prim but was still listening and out of curiosity asked, “Is it?”

Starlight licked her lips, not even thinking about and then giggled at the thought of what she had done.

“Chris was so adamant about wanting to do it, and after watching him lick his finger and not have a bad reaction, I figured it was safe. Him, saying he’d owe me if I sucked him off after sitting on his lap and not watching him, gave me more than enough reason to try it, and… I actually like it. It has kind of a sweet and milky taste to it. It wasn’t until after our first time, I thought afterward that I was probably mostly tasting him, but I was wrong. He has a stronger, more salty than sweet kind of taste. A little bit like what you get when you put a bit in your mouth, but there’s something so much better about it.”

While she’d enjoyed tasting him more than a few times, the experience was always a little too short-lived to fully appreciate it. Of course, having her mind immediately go to wanting to suck him off more than having him mount her again, didn’t help her take the time needed to comprehend all she had experienced.

“Mmm… it makes you feel all tingly and warm inside. Even better, it reminds me of how Chris feels when he’s touching me, but I feel it inside, and the feeling lingers on with you for a while… That’s also why I’m sitting like this. His cum feels just as amazing when he cums inside me as it does when I swallow it. I regretted having to give it up the morning I went into the Everfree Forest, but I’m sure somepony would have noticed his white goo dripping out of me and then who knows what kind of drama that would have created…. It would also leave a mess on your furniture. I don’t want to be rude.”

Cheerilee nodded, figuring it had to be true if everything she said was accurate so far.

“Thank you for that… and, um… not to sound weird, but… I know Chris didn’t mind, but I didn’t taste bad to you, did I?”

Starlight turned her head towards the teacher and grinned.

“You didn’t see me spit his cock out, did ya?” She chuckled at watching Cheerilee blush. “No, and like I told Chris. I see why he likes it. I’d gladly do it again. Especially since Chris likes it so much.”

The mumbled hums and whimpers from the love seat alerted the room to yet another powerful climax from the sole pegasus of Chris’s harem.

“Oooummn. Oh, Cu- uh… mmm, oh, Chr-Chris… nu.. I guh-emmm. Stah.”

Despite the broken speech and stumbling of words, Chris knew what she was trying to say and pulled his lips free. After orally serving five of his ladies in a row, his face was slathered in their juices.

"I take it that means you're-"

Before Chris could react, Prim fell forward and took him to the floor. With her mouth opened as wide as she could, she wrapped as much of her lips around him and started to madly kiss him as soon as she had him pinned. Her lips closed around his as she forced her tongue in, gathering as much of her mess as the others had hastily left behind.

"Mmm," She moaned greedily, as she pulled back from the kiss, licking her own lips clean. "Sorry… mmmph. All that talk of Starlight tasting herself on you, I had to see for myself… Mmm, I think I like it too."

She leaned down again and kissed him just as lustfully as she did before, never relenting in her attempts to savor what lingered behind.

"Mmm…” She happily hummed as she pulled back again to see his reaction. “Do you like it when I do that?"

Exhausted, still a little horny, and all too proud of herself, she sat on Chris's lap, intentionally setting herself up for a favor in the making. It had to work, given how hard he was again, making it all the easier to grind against.

This seemed to cause a stir amongst the ranks, leading Derpy first to speak up.

"Hey. I thought you were done?" She said with concern, along with a slight hint of anger.

Chris wasn't going to risk his first day in pony heaven, only to risk sending himself to pony hell and quickly spoke up to quash any arguments.

"I thought we were all done for a while?"

The room quickly fell silent. Some from the confusion of what actually was happening, others out of fear of upsetting Chris, and specifically from Starlight remembering Chris's concerns of even venturing into having his own harem.

This, at least gave Chris an opportunity to lay the groundwork for some rules and understanding of how this was going to work. The first thing, he had to do was remove the immediate threat to peace.

"Prim, that was incredibly hot, and yes, I loved it. I'm already looking forward to doing it again… but my tongue is getting sore and I'm in as much need of a break as all of you. We need to do that again next time we do this.”

With his hands on her hips, now seeing how much help she needed to remain upright, he really did think it was time for a break.

“Do you need help getting up so we can all sit down and work out how we share time now that we know this is what we want to do?"

What could Prim do at this point? Chris had blocked off any avenue of letting her stay there without knowingly being in the wrong.

"My legs are a little sore, could you help me up?"

After helping Prim up and sitting by himself on the floor in front of the love seat, he could start the dialogue.

"Okay, so I'm guessing none of you agreed on who gets what time with me, right?"

There was a silent exchange of looks between the mares, leaving Chris with the answer he needed.

"I'm sorry about that. I guess I got too caught up in the moment, knowing I was lucky enough to have you all… I was going to say cum together with me, but you all took turns and… bad joke sorry."

Even if it was a bad joke, Chris gave a slight chuckle, earning some honest smiles and snickers from the group. At least he had lightened the mood enough to continue without protest.

"Okay, so, here's what we need to do. First… I'm sorry to say this, but there's no real expectations anyone of us can have about how much time we can have together. I don't have my own house and I can’t keep usingTwilight’s place for long if I'm bringing all of you over all the time. Not to mention three of you have children of your own and I can’t see a proper way to tell them that you're all dating me at the same time."

Straight swallowed hard, knowing how much she had overlooked in setting this up. Thank the powers that be Chris had more to say.

"We all have different hours of availability. Some will get more time or attention than others, it's not possible to keep an even six-way split of all our time. So, we need to come up with a way to make the most of our time together without leaving anyone out. However, you all have to agree that this might mean having to give up or share time with me or with each other. Can you do that?"

They all nodded and voiced their commitments, with various levels of enthusiasm or lack thereof. Knowing they were all just agreeing with him to avoid conflict, Chris gave in and shared some of his own worries.

"Look, I know this is exactly what all of you signed up for, and we don't even fully understand how our relationships work together. I've known Starlight the longest, but I've been on one date with two of you. And while this was a great way to start being open with each other, I'd still like to have an equal chance to spend some time alone with all of you before we start agreeing to any kind of commitments. Otherwise, we can’t even speculate any of the guarantees of what we can give."

Derpy raised her head to speak, quickly starting a trend of being the first to speak her mind on things.

"I already work a lot, and spend as much time as I can with Dinky. So if we're all sharing, I don't want anypony to think they shouldn't have more time with you just because I can't."

Being similarly work orientated, Redheart had her own limitations.

"I might not have a foal of my own, but I might work more hours than even Derpy does with all the locations that I have to bounce back and forth from. I can't exactly expect the same amount of time as any of you either. I even agreed to being able to date Chris, even if I knew it could be short-lived, so I can’t get upset if I only get some of my downtime with him."

While not work-related, Prim had her own concerns to be worried about.

"I only told my daughter that I thought you were cute," she said worriedly as she looked at Chris. "I still need to talk to her about me dating you and making sure she's okay with it and… I don't know what she would think if she found you were dating the others. I can’t even begin to think of how I can even explain this whole group dating thing."

Cream Heart spoke up next, also concerned.

"Button Mash adores you from your storytelling. He was so excited for me when I told him my first date with you was going to be at the arcade. And if we stay together long enough to make anything official, Derpy asked the question if we all would be mothers to each other's foals. I need to make sure he'd be okay with doing something like that."

Most confusing, Cheerilee had to worry about both her job as well as all the foals.

“All of their foals already are my foals, but only while at school. I’m not sure how that would change anything, but still.”

Now Starlight was in a predicament of her own.

"I… don't have a foal of my own or a job. I study with Twilight. The closest thing I have to a job is taking care of and protecting Chris. I have to spend my time with him if he's not with any of you and… because of recent threats we discovered over the last few days, I might have to be with him when he's with any of you.”

Despite her own desires, she knew Chris’s safety came above all else. Even still, her taking care of him would always end up with her getting fucked senseless. It was clear she would likely always be in a favored position, which was always going to disadvantage the others.

“Should I stop sleeping with him? So I'm not being unfair to all of you?"

Prim, being the catalyst to this whole discussion was the first to weigh in on that.

"I don't think you should have to. You're the whole reason any of us are even here."

Redheart, now owing everything she had with Chris to Starlight, also wanted to voice an opinion on this.

"We all agree that Chris is the most important part of this. Whatever will help keep him safe I'm going to support. Even if that means my first date will include sharing an evening with you as well."

Not to be left out, Cheerilee chimed in.

"Since I already consider all of your foals my own while teaching for them. I could easily start taking any of them in after-hours to free up time for any of you to help make things easier. I'm willing to open up my house to any of you as well. Even overnight if that's what you need."

Cream Heard rubbed her sore pussy and pointed out the obvious.

"Starlight, I'm sure we're all going to be a bit envious, if not jealous that you get to sleep with Chris. We're all going to want that extra time with him, but I'd rather he be safe in bed after rutting you than him being alone. If he needs a closer eye on him, then you not being at his side would leave him less safe… And besides, it's not like any of us could wear him out enough to make it a problem for each other."

After following each of the girl’s responses, Cheerilee sighed, knowing which voice had been overlooked.

"Girls, I think we're also forgetting one very vital opinion in this conversation. Chris… what do you want?"

And just like that, Chris was in the hot seat.

"Me?" He asked, visibly nervous. "I-I-I, uh… I just want to make all of you happy and make things work. Whatever’s going to keep you happy, that’s what I want to do.”

It was clear to everyone listening to what Chris was most worried about, even if he wouldn’t say it. And though he wasn’t trying to, his fear-filled response created a wave of shame that fell over the group for their selfishness putting him in such a vulnerable position.

After their group response, Starlight felt like this was largely her fault and sought to rectify the situation.

“Chris, I see now why you were so worried about involving yourself in a relationship with all of us. You were right, any one of us could end up getting hurt if we feel we might not be getting enough attention or equal time with you. And I guess when I first asked the girls if they were willing to agree to this, I didn’t consider the limitations we would really be facing. For me and you, we only talked about how we could make dating work for us, never anything more than that, but we all want to make this work. Right girls?”

Together, the girls all nodded with their respectable agreements to their shared cause and let Starlight take the lead again.

“You’ve given the best advice and had the best ideas on how to keep us together and make things work. Can you tell us what you need from us to give if we’re going to have a chance for us all to keep it together?”

The floor was his again, but he clammed up. This was too new for him. All he had was fan fiction and perverse fantasizes to fall back on. What could he say that wouldn’t make him look selfish or like he was using them? This now seemed to be as impossible as he first feared it to be.

As Chris was looking to be crushed under the weight of his new conflicts, only one mismatched pair of eyes could see his struggle.

This wasn’t right and not at all what any of them wanted, especially Derpy. She might have been more committed to this than any of the others, and she had to do something. At this point, all she could do was slide down off her perch of the love seat and hug him from behind.

As she nuzzled their cheeks together, in a soft and calm tone, she told him, “We don’t want to fight over you, Chris. Whatever you want to do, I’m sure I can do it for you. Don’t give up on us just because we don’t know how to make you happy yet. We can learn.”

Prim moved her tired body next to Chris’s side and laid against him in what was quickly turning into a dogpile every mare joining him.

“I wasn’t trying to hog your time, I just thought that since you made us feel good so many times, and you only had yours once, I’d help you cum again.”

Cheerilee raised Chris’s chin and gently kissed his lips, careful to make it as loving and caring as possible.

“We’re sorry we got you so worried about us, but I think Derpy and Prim are both right about us wanting to give back just as much as you've given us. But, there are six of us and only one of you.”

Starlight nuzzled into Chris’s neck, and mournfully pleaded, “I know you have an idea on what we can do. You always do. Don’t be afraid to tell us, you can’t hold back if you really want to make this work.”

Chirs didn’t have much, but if they all cared as much as they appeared to, he might as well, tell them the only thing he could think of.

“The biggest problem in something like this is any of you will end up feeling cheated. And it’s like Cheerilee said, there’s six of you and one of me. And the only thing I can think of is to change that mindset of all of you focusing on me, and me trying to divide my attention between all of you; it’s never going to work that way. We all have to be in this together, everyone for everyone… but I don’t want… I’m scared that the only thing I can think of will make you all want to walk away from it.”

Cream Heart leaned hard into the group, sitting over one of Chris’s legs.

“I think we’re all a little too committed to walk away. Even if what you tell us doesn’t work out, we’ll just try something else until we figure it out. I’m not ready for a game over.”

Chris took a deep breath and gathered his courage. This might be the hardest idea to sell as a whole he could think of, but what else did he have?

“First, we don’t want to draw too much attention to ourselves. I don’t want anyone trying to come between us. Second, we still need to have some private time to get closer and build the trust we need. Be more comfortable than we are right now. We also need to make sure your kids can get along with me and each other, as well as the rest of you. Spending time with them will be just as important. Eventually, we need to find a way to live together.”

This was all on the fly, and she struggled to put her thoughts into words.

“I don’t know how to work that out yet, but in the meantime… I think there is something we can do so you all don’t have to rely on me so much and feel like I’m the one you need to focus your time and energy on… but you should only do it if you actually want to, otherwise, you risk hurting everyone else. Just… don’t get angry or hold it against me when I say it. It’s just an idea, and you don’t have to-”

In an impromptu attempt to stop Chris from rambling on, Redheart gave Chris a not so subtle thunk on the head with her good hoof.

“Stop worrying so much and just say it. We’re not going to be mad, we know you well enough you wouldn’t say anything to hurt us.”

Chris gave a smirk, through his worried state, the touch of levity from her appreciation.

“Right… well... I didn’t think it could have been a thing to consider until Prim decided to try what Starlight suggested and she kissed me like she did. But, my idea is that maybe it shouldn’t be only me dating all of you, but we all date each other.”

Even though none of the six mares pulled away, there was an unavoidable distance that formed between them. And despite what they all said or felt, that idea raised a lot of questions about what they had gotten themselves into.

“Um, Chris?” Starlight asked as she pulled her muzzle free to look him eye to eye over this.

“Are you suggesting we all break up into smaller couples, or that we all… be haremed to each other and not just you?”

Chris didn’t move an inch, but this time the girls could feel him grow more distant.

“I can’t be everything to all of you, not all at once. Neither can all of you be everything to me all the time. If you care enough to share me, give up your time for each other, and even take care of each other’s foals. If we stay together… having each other to rely on for the same love and support, or even your physical needs… I’m sorry. I knew this was a stu-”

“How do we start?” Derpy asked, already sounding like she was sold on the idea.

On hearing that question, Prim pulled back enough to address Derpty eye to eye.

“Derpy? You’d want to give this a try?”

Not even looking phased by the proposition, Derpy nuzzled in closer to Chris with an encouraging squeeze.

“I don’t see what the big deal is. We’re all already pretty much doing it. We’ve been helping each other, sharing what we know to make Chris happy, and since only Starlight can actually rut Chris, what we can do with him wouldn’t be much different if we did it with each other. After all, didn’t you taste all of us already Prim? And Starlight said it was nice. Not to mention, I’m sure Chris would like it.”

Prim was suddenly alerted to the return of Chris’s erection as it rose up and pressed against her foreleg.

“Uh, yeah, I’d say it would.”

Still tied up in the mix, Redheart had a quick thought of what her life would be like if she walked away from all of this. Possibly giving up everything she gained since meeting Chris and the others sounded miserable.

“Hey, Derpy? I’m at the end of the list for who he’s going to date next, and you won’t get another go until after me. Would you like to have lunch with me tomorrow and I’ll show you how I’ve been practicing for Chris to rut me?”

Prim was taken back by how quickly those two had signed on to the arrangement. Then again, after that last amazing kiss she had with Chris…

“Well, that was fast.” She turned her attention to the mare at the center of all this. “Starlight, you and I seem to have similar tastes, so if I can get a sitter for Cotton Cloudy, you wanna join me in the clouds for some star gazing? I’ve never been up in the clouds with a unicorn, and you're the only one I know who can fly.”

Amazed that this was working, Starlight smiled and shrugged.

“Sure. I actually have a few spells that can help me stay on the clouds. Should I bring something for us to eat or… similar tastes? Ha! This was a great idea.”

Cream Heart did a quick look around to the other mares as they started to partner up closer to each other.

“Wait? Did we already agree we’re doing this? I didn’t know we could…“

She wasn’t even fully sold on the idea of courting the others just to stay with Chris, but he was too amazing to not give this a shot at least. Besides, if it was just like kissing, what could be the harm?

“Cheerilee, if I can find a sitter for Button… Wait? What are you doing tomorrow night, Chris?”

Starlight gave an excited gasp next to Prim, interrupting the conversation the two were sharing.

“Chris! You could be their foal sitter! Girls! Think about it. After he had such a fun time with Dinky, he should really get to know the other foals. Goddamn was this ever a good idea, Chris. Fuck! I’m getting horny all over again just thinking about it now.”

Being next in line, Redheart’s ears snapped frantically at the prospect of enjoying both.

“Derpy! We need to make it a short lunch tomorrow. We got… gah! I’m horny again.”

Still being close to Chris, she leaned over whispered in his ear, “Since your tongue is sore, and you only came with Starlight once, you think we can take turns with you for a while? And don’t worry, sharing won’t be a problem now that sharing each other is also an option.”

The sound of fluttering wings rose up where Prim and Starlight were just standing, then a thud and a groan from Prim sprung up from the other side of the loveseat. Curious, Chris and the others turned to see Prim on her back with Starlight’s face buried between her legs as she struggled.

“Gah! Starlight, slow down! I didn’t mean right now on the… ooooh… don’t slow down. Don't stop. Ooooh… Ugh! We might not make it to the clouds tomorrow if you're this good.”

Twilight thought about what Chris was likely up to with Starlight, after all the free rein she’d given her only student, with Chris. She hoped that at least if they were more than friends at this point, it was going to at least help him be happy and move past that awful sadness he seemed to hide like Benny did.

“I wouldn’t know what Chris is up to, but I need to be nicer to him. He was the first one to say I was attractive, even though I wasn’t human. Actually, I am going to be a lot nicer to him. He’s been so helpful with everything and asked for nothing in return. We should do something nice for him, but, also, please let him know that he shouldn’t try hitting on me. I’m still committed to only being your special somepony, or at least as close to one as I can since we’re only dating and not really a couple.”

Sniff leaned down and kissed Twilight’s forehead.

“Don't you worry about Chris, I’ll let him know what’s going on with you and me. I’ve already talked to him about what was going on before things got serious with me and Ovens. He’s in the same boat as me, not sure what you all know or might be comfortable with. I doubt he’s done any more than making out with Cream Heart a few times. I can’t see him doing anything more than that.”

Twilight stared blankly at the ceiling and blinked repeatedly, as she tried to think why Sniff would mention one of the ponies, Chris danced with and brought to Cerb’s fight, not the pony he was sleeping with.

“Cream Heart? Don’t you mean Starlight, since… awe, fuuuuuuuck. Did she beat us at starting her own… Goddamnit."

I was drunk while finishing my editing of this with another friend that isn't a fan of MLP. So, I don't have much of a follow up with the rundown. Pretty much, the chapter was a lot of smut.

God bless that man for tolerating my story of two different guys fucking ponies.

Zero apologies.

Otherwise, stay tuned for the next edition in chapter 74:
