Version: 1.2

Unexpectedly, the first thing Chad had Gerek do was take a bath. The stallion went so far as to produce a bowl of warm water, a chip from a soap bar, a clean rag to dry off, and even a set of fresh human-sized clothes. Then the unicorn excused himself so that he could take a shower. Which left Gerek alone in the bedroom stranded on a desk.

The man approached his bath with awe. The walls of the bowl were a little tall at about mid-chest height, but he was still easily able to dip his hand and test the water. It was indeed warm. A hot bath. It was the first time Gerek had been given the chance since coming to Equestria. When he was traded around the slave market the water he and his fellow humans had been given was room temperature at best. So he had learned to wash quickly. Gerek hadn't even seen soap in over a month. It was one of the greatest gifts the man could ask for. He stripped and practically dove in.

He sighed with pleasure and floated on his back. The man drifted towards the center of the dish as all the stress he had gathered until now seemingly melted away. For a moment Gerek thought he might just fall asleep there. However, reality had a gentle way of reasserting itself. It was shortly into his relaxation that he heard what sounded like a waterfall in the distance. Chad had started his shower.

Gerek sighed again. He wanted to simply stay here and enjoy this, but Chad had told him to get clean before he returned. While the man doubted he'd suffer any real punishment if he took longer than the stallion, it still made him nervous. So the human obediently tracked down the piece of soap which the unicorn had left floating in the bowl. It was around the size of a corn cob and roughly the same shape. Strangely, the white fragment didn't have any smell. Gerek even brought it right to his nose, but couldn't detect a thing. It felt like soap and it made suds when he rubbed it, but it had no scent. Well, it was what Chad had given him so he would use it. Gerek scrubbed himself from head to toe, thoroughly wiping away any grime or dirt. When it came to his hair though he wasn't sure. Shrugging, he dunked himself, wetted his hair, and simply went through the motions. He scratched at his scalp and acted like he did have shampoo. It felt nice anyway. Gerek felt clean. It was another first since coming to Equestria. The man dared think he even felt refreshed.

Gerek took another moment to enjoy the warm water. He eased himself down until only his head remained. The man hummed in pleasure. His arms floated limply.

After a few brief minutes Gerek decided it was time to get out. He didn't know how much longer Chad was going to take so it was best to be done and ready sooner rather than later. He waded to the edge of the bowl and clumsily slipped over the side. Immediately he felt the chill of the open air and shivered. He rushed to the rag and wrapped himself in the thick cloth. Gerek shook his head, throwing tiny droplets everywhere. Then he dried himself as best he could and tried on the clothes the stallion had left him.

They were strange. There was a baggy shirt that was clearly trying to have short sleeves, but the tailor didn't have a clue about human proportions. So the sleeves ended a little after his elbows and the neck hole was a bit too big. Then there were the pants. The waist was stretchy and adjusted to him well enough, but the material bunched up a lot around the crotch and the legs weren't quite long enough for him. It wasn't uncomfortable exactly, just odd. Like a poorly made costume. The desk the unicorn had left him on had a large mirror attached to it so Gerek was able to study his reflection. The clothes were bright red. He would have stood out a lot in a crowd.

The sound of the shower was still going so the only thing Gerek could do now was wait. He eyed his old clothes which he had simply left on the ground. They were dirty, stained, and just beginning to fall apart. The man regarded the outfit he was currently wearing. The human hoped he'd get better fitting clothes in the future. He sighed. Thinking about his future made him nervous. What was about to happen to him would surely only be a taste of the life to come. The question was, how bad was it going to be?

Gerek studied his surroundings while he waited. He was currently on a rather plain vanity desk which had light bulbs lining the tall mirror attached to it. When Chad had levitated him over the man had also seen two or three rows of shelves on the bottom. Strangely, there had been no space below the desktop. Gerek idly imagined a pony seated at a table and realized that they probably didn't need an empty space. There was no point. Ponies sat like dogs, their legs behind or underneath them, not ahead like a human. Also, the desk was much shorter than he would have expected. For Chad the surface was only a little above knee height, though that was still more than enough distance to break Gerek's legs if he tried jumping down. Hence why he was stranded. The man mused on that for a while.

The sound of the shower stopped. Gerek was instantly focused on his ears, desperately trying to hear anything. There was a frustrating few moments of silence where he could detect nothing. Then the sound of approaching hooves. Like the echoing thunder of a storm as it rushed towards him. His heart began to beat faster.

The door of the bedroom opened and the pale unicorn stepped into the room with one blue towel loosely draped across his back and another tightly wrapped around his head. His fur was glistening wet and he dripped on the wood floor below as he moved in front of the desk. As Chad loomed over Gerek the massive stallion aimed a gentle smile at the tiny man. Gerek gulped nervously.

"How was the bath?" Chad asked smoothly.

"It was... nice," he admitted bashfully.

Chad nodded. "Well don't just sit there. Stand up and give me a spin. Let me see you!" The little human did as he was ordered, feeling horribly embarrassed as he twirled about like some display piece. Chad hummed thoughtfully. "Yeah I didn't expect those clothes to fit right. We'll have to get your measurements and have something more professional made for you. Later. For now, let me take a moment to deal with this."

The unicorn's horn began to glow with golden light and the bowl Gerek had used as a bath quickly followed. It was like watching a full swimming pool simply float into the air. Magic at its finest. The man gawked at the careless display of power as Chad turned to leave the room with the dish. Halfway to the door however, the stallion seemed to get an idea and glanced back over his shoulder. Gerek was staring in the pony's direction. Chad smirked and gave his wet drooping tail a flick to the side. Then he wiggled his rear. It was only a glimpse, but the human had seen something dark and round between the pony's legs. His lips tightened and his spine tingled. Chad giggled and began swaying his hips as he finished leaving the room.

Gerek felt hot and bothered. Luckily he was alone for a minute to bury his discomfort.

Chad returned, minus the bowl and his towels. The unicorn quickly stepped up to the desk again and sat down. Gerek backpedaled a bit and gawked up at the cliff of damp white fur to meet his owner's eyes. Chad smiled, blushed, and hunched his shoulders.

"I-I guess i-it's time to g-get started," Chad stuttered. "This is the f-first time I've ever d-done this in front of someone."

Gerek didn't say anything. All he could do was cringe and hug himself. How bad was this going to be?

"Just relax and enjoy it," the unicorn whispered, though to himself or Gerek the human wasn't really sure.

The stallion used his magic to lift a thick-toothed comb before turning his side towards the mirror. And his new slave. Then the pony began combing his mane. Gerek was honestly impressed by Chad's technique. The unicorn relied on his magic to manipulate the comb, but used both his front hooves to carefully position his mane. He would pinch a bit of hair between his hooves then run the comb through it to straighten it and remove the knots. Every few passes he would also give his comb a small flick and send drops of water flying. Was this normal for stallions to do or were they already in the realm of care only a mare would give her mane? The uncertainty was about the only reason Gerek didn't instinctively turn away.

It wasn't long before Chad was done with his mane and stood up, his side still facing the mirror. Then the stallion snickered quietly as he stepped forward, clearly showing off his flanks. He flicked his tail once as he posed for a brief moment. Then Chad began to run the comb through his sagging wet tail. The unicorn did not use his hooves to hold the hair, instead choosing to simply use slower and more delicate movements. Or was he just doing that to flaunt his body for his slave's entertainment? Gerek shivered. Luckily the comb passed through the waterfall of hairs without catching and Chad's tail was soon straight if not still wet to the touch.

The stallion sighed as he sat down and faced forward again. "That was nice, but now I need your input."

Gerek tensed. "What for? I don't think there is anything I could do for you." The man was only as tall as a pony's closed muzzle after all.

"I told you to relax," Chad giggled as he put the comb back in a drawer. Closing that compartment, the unicorn opened another and began really channeling his magic as he levitated something that was much bigger and heavier, even for him. For Gerek it looked like Chad was lowering a three story building onto the desk.

"What is that?!" Gerek yelled as he stumbled away from the crash landing.

Chad huffed from the effort. "My perfume collection." The stallion focused on Gerek with a sad frown. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just want you to see how serious I am about... us," Chad explained with a blush. Then he opened the huge box and turned a knob inside which caused the entire front portion to fall open and reveal a wall of labeled bottles. Three shelves of them. "Now, I want you to pick a fragrance you like. I want... to smell good for you." The stallion glanced off to the side.

Gerek gulped. He wanted to object, that this didn't matter and there was no scent that would make this enjoyable. However, he also knew purposefully upsetting Chad wasn't a good idea. So he approached the wall of perfume slowly and began reading labels. The bottles were a little taller than himself, not unlike a soda machine in size and shape. The first row seemed to be all fruits while the other two were an assortment of various flowers, many of which Gerek didn't recognize. In seconds the man found himself a bit lost and merely staring at the huge containers. None of them really called out to him. Yet he could feel Chad's hungry eyes on his back. What was the man's favorite aroma?

"Green Apple," Gerek announced randomly.

"Good choice," he could hear the smile on Chad's lips. The bottle of green juice began to glow and levitated out of the box. "Flowers are nice and all, but I too have a soft spot for fruity smells."

"Yeah," Gerek mumbled agreement. "I like the taste of apples so... why not?"

"Me too," Chad nodded. "Before I use it though, maybe you should sample it? Just to be sure this is what you want your mare to smell like?"

Gerek met Chad's hopeful gaze. "Okay," he shrugged helplessly. The stallion smiled and began unscrewing the perfume bottle. Then he tipped it as he lowered it down to the little man on the table. The human did as asked and stood on his toes to put his face up to the open lid and smell the perfume. "Woah," he gasped. That scent was strong.

Chad laughed. "Yup, it's good stuff," he beamed. "Like it?"

"Yeah," was all Gerek could say before he stumbled back and sat down, head feeling a bit light.

The stallion opened the drawer again and produced a round brush with lots of soft looking bristles. He then lightly dribbled green apple perfume over the brush and rubbed it in with his hoof. He levitated the bottle back into the box and then used his hoof to begin running the brush through his fur. He started with his neck just under the jaw then worked his way down. Chad's fur had been left a little wild after drying off, but it was quickly being tamed with every motion. The only sound was that of the pony working and it made Gerek restless. The thought occurred to him that maybe he should strike up a conversation, but what was there to talk about?

Chad had progressed down to his front legs and was running the brush basically right by Gerek who was seated near the table's edge. The faint smell of green apple lingered in the stallion's fur.

"Why didn't the soap... smell?" Gerek tried. It wasn't a great topic, but at least it was something.

"Hm?" Chad paused, surprised by the question. "Oh. It's because perfume is so much better at getting the exact fragrance a mare might want." The stallion switched hooves and began brushing his other foreleg. "Perfume has a much greater range and depth of scents than any soap brand and some perfumes can be mixed to fill very specific moods. So a lot of mares use scent neutral soap."

Gerek was impressed by the trick. It made total sense to him. "Is it... expensive?" the man asked, just trying to keep the conversation going.

"Not really," Chad replied dismissively as he finished brushing his front legs. Then the stallion stood up and took a moment to apply more perfume to the brush. With the scent renewed, he began running the brush down his side next.

Gerek scratched his head trying to continue their talk. "Do you... do this a lot?"

Chad smiled with embarrassment. "Maybe," he replied cryptically. "You'll just have to find out," the stallion then added with a teasing tone.

The towering pony then spun around and began brushing his other side. The action was a blunt reminder for Gerek that his owner wanted him to watch. Chad raised the brush to just below his spine and ran the thin delicate bristles down over his ribs, taming his fur and leaving behind a fruity aroma in one motion. Then back up to the peak of the stallion's back the hoof and brush would go to make another pass. One after the other. Slow and methodical. Gerek forgot about trying to talk through this. He was just a bystander. The human was an audience of one for Chad's show. Which was about to heat up.

The stallion was done with his sides so he turned more. So that he faced his backside to the desk and the man seated on it. The human gulped as he stared up at Chad's round ass cheeks. The only thing protecting the pony's dignity was the wall of soaking hair that was his tail. Luckily for Gerek that curtain would remain in place for now as the hoof and brush appeared around the curve of the unicorn's flank and began grooming.

Brush. Brush. Brush.

Gerek and Chad were silent as the huge stallion brushed his ass in front of the little helpless man. After a stroke or two more than was probably necessary, the pony spun around to face the human again. Both of them were blushing, though Chad was also smiling.

"Now I need you to pick another perfume," Chad said as though out of breath.

Gerek wiped some sweat off his brow and licked his dry lips. He wasn't sure how to respond to that. Chad had already coated himself in the smell of green apples so the man couldn't guess what he wanted a second scent for. "O-okay," he replied while standing up and glancing at the still open box of perfumes.

"Pick something spicy," Chad added huskily. "Something sharp."

Gerek didn't know anything about perfumes so Chad's instruction was pretty much meaningless to him. Inevitably the man found himself standing in front of a wall of huge bottles feeling clueless as he read label after label. The choice was not made easier as he became aware of the deep breathing of the stallion behind him ruffling his clothes every second or two. "Cherry!" he announced randomly, just to escape the awkward situation.

"Are you sure?" Chad whispered even as the red bottle began to glow and float away.

"Yes?" Gerek confirmed as he faced the pony. The stallion had indeed bent down and was hovering his head only a... bus length away. Though the sheer size of him made it feel a lot closer.

"Hm, really?" Chad moaned. "I promise this is the smell you're going to be getting the most of. Do you want to sample it just to be sure?" The bottle unscrewed seemingly by itself and then waved back and forth gently.

Gerek shook his head. "I'm good. I'm pretty sure I know what cherries smell like," he said quickly, unsure what Chad might be hinting at.

For a moment Chad waited. Then he chuckled. "Suit yourself."

The massive pony straightened and the human was able to breathe normally again. Chad dropped the cherry perfume's cap on the desk and began rummaging through the top drawer while the open bottle continued to hover by his head. Gerek could hear a lot of things being shifted around just beneath his feet for several seconds. Then the stallion grinned triumphantly as he produced from the depths a new cap with two additional features over the old. As Chad attached the new cap a straw-like protrusion went down into the bottle of cherry perfume while a short black pipe with a rubber ball at the end hung off the side. The unicorn aimed the sprayer at the bottom of his empty hoof and used his magic to give the pump a few squeezes. The first three attempts only produced a wheezing sound and Gerek guessed a small gust of air. On the fourth try there was a weak blast of mist followed by a fifth squeeze that produced a fine cloud. Chad paused to give his hoof a sniff.

"Now then," the stallion began with a sly smile, "time for the finishing touch."

Chad levitated the bottle closer to the table surface and for a second Gerek thought he was going to get sprayed, but the huge unicorn never pointed it at him. Then the human's attention was ripped to the far right side of the desk as a huge white hoof crashed down onto the wood surface. Then his head rushed back to the left as the stallion's other hoof landed too. Gerek glanced upward at the equine muzzle looming above him. Chad smiled lustfully as he supported himself on the desk. Then the pony's rear legs took a step forward and he raised his chest higher and over the plane where Gerek stood.

The human stumbled back, but couldn't direct his eyes anywhere else. He was staring right at Chad's enormous balls. Each orb was the size of a very large car and they swung tauntingly in front of and a bit above the man. The smooth skin of Chad's package was black and pulled tight by the weight of his testicles. Gerek gulped. At least the stallion's member was still tucked away from view. For now.

Chad's left hoof crept into view and gently tugged his dangling balls to the right. Then the perfume bottle levitated towards the opening and sprayed once. The hoof let go and the meaty orbs swung freely as the other hoof appeared to gently pull the stallion's package to the other side. Again the perfume bottle floated towards the crevice, the other pit of Chad's junk, and sprayed once. The hoof returned to its place propping the pony up while the perfume aimed and gave the stallion's balls one last quick dose head on. The unicorn shivered and a whinny escaped his mouth above. The titanic orbs in front of Gerek jiggled slightly. Then the perfume bottle was put down somewhere behind the man as he continued to stare.

"That's right honey," Chad moaned. "These will be all yours soon." The stallion swayed his hips for a few moments as though performing a slow hypnotic dance.

Gerek couldn't respond.

Chad sighed as he stepped down from the desk. "But I have to get dressed first, then we can really play," he announced with a smile.

To be continued...

I have a thing about chapter length. In my opinion a proper chapter is 3-6,000 words. So while I originally planned for all the clop of this story to be in one chapter, when I hit 4,000 words and was barely at the half-way point, I realized it might be best to split it again. Oh well. As they say, no plan survives contact with the enemy. And I used to be really good at estimating the length of a story or chapter...
