If there was one thing that Rarity could be certain of in this world, it was that she would never become tired of beautiful women.

It was the only reason she put up with Applejack, who was as stubborn as an iron wall but also hotter than a blazing conflagration.

Rarity both loved and hated that stubbornness about her; it was endearing in a way— no, perhaps ‘endearing’ wasn’t the right word.

Enticing.

It was enticing to see Applejack throw wall after wall, barricade after barricade, to keep Rarity at arm’s length, but that only aroused Rarity’s desire to break her down.

And Rarity would break Applejack down, sooner or later.

“I ain’t interested in helpin’ you get yer hands on that pony soul, Rarity,” Applejack growled, and Rarity just sighed discontentedly, resting her cheek on her hand as her elbow laid on the arm of her glorious throne seated within her exquisite castle.

While Rarity would have loved to try and flex her power over Applejack— at the end of the day all the sexy werewolf had going for her was her physical strength and Rarity’s favor, and neither was an obstacle for Rarity— but she knew that would only make Applejack dig her heels in even further, and Rarity did want that soul more than she wanted to butt heads with Applejack.

A different tact would be necessary here.

“Applejack, please,” Rarity pouted, standing up and walking daintily over to Applejack, Autumn Blaze following Rarity like an obedient little puppy dog. “I’m willing to be reasonable. Whatever it is you need or that you would like in exchange for your service, I’ll gladly give it to you. I have the power, you know.”

“What I want right now,” Applejack affected an ugly toothy grin, putting a rough clawed hand on Rarity’s shoulder, “is to snap yer damn neck like a twig.”

“Rude,” Rarity huffed, easily brushing Applejack’s claw away with her hand.

“Applejack,” Coloratura stood between Rarity and Applejack, grabbing the werewolf by her grubby little paws. “Can we please just listen to what Rarity has to say? We want that soul too, and I’m sure there’s a way that we can all—”

“What’s this, Applejack?” Rarity put a pinkie finger up to her lips. “You have your eyes on the soul as well?”

“None of yer business,” Applejack growled.

And with that, the stubborn bitch just up and left. She turned around and walked out of Rarity’s castle, leaving Rarity and even her own friends behind her.

“That could’ve gone better,” Autumn Blaze stated the obvious, and Rarity turned around to give her a sour look, the salamander smiling and waving from her seat on the arm of Rarity’s throne.

“I’m so sorry, Lady Rarity,” Coloratura, ever the validation-seeker, pleaded with Rarity. It was almost adorable how pathetic she was.

“You have nothing to apologize for, sweetness,” Rarity scritched underneath Coloratura’s chin, the siren purring like a contented kitten as Rarity wrapped her around her finger.

“Oooooh,” Autumn Blaze cooed, hopping over to join the party, “somepony’s thirsty!”

“Wh— I am not ‘thirsty’ for Lady Rarity!” Coloratura lied obviously, a bright red blush staining her pretty face.

Rarity grabbed Autumn Blaze by the wrist and yanked her forward, forcing her to lose her balance and then catching her in Rarity’s arms, Rarity holding Autumn Blaze close to her chest and whispering in her ear.

“Who exactly is thirsty again? Autumn Blaze?”

Autumn’s eyes widened and she let out an embarrassingly smitten snort, biting her lip and turning beet red. Playing her was almost too easy.

“Lady Rarity,” Coloratura bit down a chuckle, wisely electing not to say anything that would turn Rarity’s attention toward her and undoubtedly distract whatever thoughts were already on her mind. “I’m going to go after Applejack, see if I can convince her to—”

“Applejack will come back on her own,” Rarity said, focusing less on the woman she was speaking to and more on the salamander in her arms, as Rarity slid her hands down to Autumn’s waist. “You don’t need to worry about her. My teasing aside, she’s a smart woman.

“She knows that doing what I ask her to do is her best option to get what she wants. She just doesn’t like it, so she’ll drag her feet a little bit, but she’ll come around before the lights go out, I guarantee it.”

“I, I’d still like to talk to her, if that’s alright,” Coloratura twiddled her fingers and it took everything in Rarity’s power not to just roll her eyes.

“By all means,” Rarity smiled at Coloratura, biting down for the sake of politeness the ‘if you’re that desperate’ that she wanted to add. “I’m sure Autumn Blaze can keep me entertained whilst you’re off galivanting with Applejack.

“Isn’t that right,” Rarity returned her attention to Autumn Blaze and grabbed a fistful of Autumn’s mane, tugging it back and exposing her soft neck, Autumn biting her lip and sucking air through her teeth, “Autumn Blaze?”

Rarity swore that no matter how many she brought into her bed, she would never get tired of beautiful women.

Looking at the purring, entranced Autumn Blaze as she laid naked, handcuffed to Rarity’s bed, it was impossible not to appreciate her curves and toned figure. But why merely look when she had the ability to touch?

Rarity ran her finger delicately along Autumn’s chest, the girl giggling into the rubber ball in her mouth; Autumn Blaze was cute, but she was certainly cuter when she was quiet.

Rarity placed her hand on Autumn’s stomach and just took a second to appreciate the woman’s muscle, Rarity biting down on her lip and drawing blood, that she quickly licked away.

As Rarity moved onto Autumn’s mesmerizing hips, a knock rung on Rarity’s door, spoiling the mood.

“Coco?” Rarity said, barely pretending to hide her aggravation. “That had better be you, and this had better be something that cannot wait.”

“F-forgive me, Lady Rarity!” Coco cried out from behind the door, and Rarity rolled her eyes at yet another of Coco’s worthless apologies. “A-Applejack is back! She wishes to see you immediately! I-I didn’t know what to tell her!”

“Alright, Coco, alright,” Rarity sighed. Had it already gotten so late that Applejack was back already? Rarity swore she’d only been fooling around with Autumn for an hour or two, or maybe three or four. Hm. Perhaps next time she could afford to cut down on some of the preamble.

Ha, perish that thought. Nothing was worth doing if it wasn’t done right, after all.

“Don’t you go anywhere, beautiful,” Rarity gave Autumn a kiss on her snout and left her bound and gagged on the bed while Rarity dealt with Applejack.

Of course, those restraints would be a simple matter for Autumn to slip out of if she needed to, if Rarity’s meeting ran too long for example. Rarity wasn’t a ghoul after all, and she wouldn’t leave a beautiful woman in a dangerous position on her watch; though she had to admit she would be disappointed if Autumn Blaze weren’t still bound when Rarity returned.

Rarity left her bedchambers for the hallway leading into the lovely foyer, her even lovelier assistant Coco Pommel waiting at the door for her. She looked utterly fetching in the tight blouse and miniskirt combo that Rarity had made for her, and with those two cute little fangs protruding from her mouth, and Rarity couldn’t resist putting her hands on Coco’s hips, Rarity licking her lips as she admired her handiwork.

“Tell me, Coco,” Rarity walked down the hall toward the foyer, Coco hanging off of her arm, “did you talk to Applejack? How was her mood, do you think?”

“Sh-she seemed to be composed,” Coco said, ever the nervous one. “She wasn’t growling and snarling like usual. Do you think Coloratura got through to her?”

“I don’t,” Rarity almost cackled at Coco’s naivety. “I think she just knows an opportunity when she sees one.”

Applejack was standing in the center of the foyer, arms crossed and appearing deep in thought, or at least in meditation as she breathed slowly in and out. Rarity took a second to appreciate this moment, even stopping Coco from alerting Applejack.

For all of their gripes with each other, and their constant butting of heads, one thing was certain; Applejack was a stone cold sexy wall of muscle, and watching her for even a scant moment without one or the other trying to antagonize the other was a rare blessing that Rarity had every intention of savoring.

That said, she didn’t want to make Applejack— or poor Autumn Blaze, for that matter— wait longer than necessary.

“Applejack, my love!” Rarity cheered, arms held open to give a friendly hug to her favorite werewolf.

“Rarity,” Applejack said flatly, but her teeth weren’t glued shut to each other so that was at least a good sign, though as soon as Rarity approached and tried to put her arms around Applejack, the werewolf snarled and bared her claws; while normally a challenge Rarity would gladly take Applejack up on, Rarity decided to let sleeping dogs lie… for now, at least.

“I’ll cut right to the chase,” Rarity said. “I do have a pretty lady waiting on me, after all. Speaking of, where’s our dear Coloratura?”

“Outside,” Applejack said. “I wanted to do this just you and me.”

“Coco?” Rarity turned to sweet little Coco and waved her off. “You heard the lady. Do be a dear and keep Autumn Blaze warm for me, won’t you?”

Coco bowed her head and disappeared, her vampiric ability letting her just poof away into mist. Convenient for someone who was so apt at staying out of the way.

“I’ll get you the soul, Rarity,” Applejack said, and Rarity had to resist breaking out into an ear to ear smile, and let a charming but dainty one suffice.

“Do tell,” Rarity whispered, “what changed your mind?”

“You’ll let me use it,” Applejack said, frustratingly refusing to play Rarity’s game, “to get my revenge.”

“Is that right?” Rarity scoffed and cocked her hip to the side, crossing her arms. She wanted to take umbrage with Applejack’s tone— how dare that lowly farm mare try to command her— but she knew negotiations with Applejack were fickle at best, and she wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip through her fingers. “So you’ve decided to put aside your revenge against me then? Honey, I’m flattered.”

“Put aside?” Applejack clicked her tongue, and then indulged in a single scoffing laugh. “Yeah, I guess you could say that. ‘Put off ‘til later’ is how I’d put it.”

“Bold of you to say that to my face,” Rarity said sharply.

“I’m a blunt instrument,” Applejack shrugged. “And I ain’t afraid of you.”

“Well,” Rarity let that little bruise to her ego slide, even as she dug her nails into her forearms, “it seems we’re both in luck.”

Rarity hummed, stepping behind Applejack and flicking her tail against the wolf’s.

“Our goals coincide. I have no problem enabling your revenge, and it may even benefit me to do so,” Rarity smiled thinly at Applejack and stepped in front of her again, elegantly holding out her hand. “So do we have a deal?”

“Looks like,” Applejack tipped her hat, and Rarity hated the jolt of electricity such a simple gesture sent through her body.

“Shall we seal it with a drink?”

“Nah,” Applejack turned around, flicking her tail up at Rarity dismissively as she walked away. “Just make sure you treat Autumn Blaze right.”

“Awww, you do care,” Rarity teased, all of her patience with Applejack bottoming out into a vast chasm of spite.

“Don’t want you breakin’ my troops,” Applejack shrugged. “That’s all.”

Rarity huffed as she watched Applejack walk through the door and knew that there was nothing she could do to make Applejack stay, let alone sweeten their deal in Rarity’s favor. She let out a furious groan and stomped her hoof on the stone floor of her dingy, decrepit-ass hut that she was trapped in.

She hated this place. She hated everything about it, especially the people in it. She was from the Fifth bloody Circle for stars’ sake! Fifth! She was used to living a life of luxury and well-deserved praise! Not this constant struggle of playing around with simpletons and pushing troglodytes in the direction she needed them to move in.

It was nothing short of infuriating, and there were some moods even beautiful women couldn’t fix.

Okay, that was untrue, but this was still a dire mood that would require a bit of creativity.

“Coco!” Rarity whined as she returned to her bedchambers, only to find that while Autumn was still bound, Coco had ungagged her and was feeding her ice cream! Very much not what Rarity had wanted! “What is this? This is the exact opposite of keeping her warm for me!”

“I’m always warm,” Autumn Blaze said ever so cheerfully, grating on Rarity’s last nerve. “I’m on fir—PHGHLMPH!”

Rarity took the liberty of reapplying Autumn Blaze’s gag herself using her magic, and she glared at Coco.

“Coco, I’m tired,” Rarity said.

“Oh, do you nee—”

“I’ll tell you what I need, thank you,” Rarity cut her off, with an irritated sigh. “I want you to finish off Autumn Blaze for me, which I assume won’t be a problem for you, miss Blaze?” Autumn gave an enthusiastic wink. “And once you’re finished, if I’m satisfied, I’ll treat you to something nice. If not, well then you will simply have to switch places with our dear friend Autumn Blaze. Do you understand?”

“Y-yes,” Coco bit her lip, “Lady Rarity.”

Of course, Rarity’s little ‘conundrum’ was a farce; that so-called ‘treat’ was the same fate as the ‘punishment’, and both parties knew it. Frankly, Coco would likely work Autumn Blaze over in a sloppy hurry just to get her turn with Rarity faster. They’d been through this song and dance before.

If there was one thing that Rarity could be certain of in this world, it was that she would never become tired of beautiful women.

She was starting to become less certain.
