A few days ago my living room needed to be painted.

I really didn’t feel like painting.

Fortunately Fresh Coat, one of the nicest, most beautiful and attractive mares I have ever met, was more than willing to help me out while simultaneously throwing us into a whirlwind of love, pain, and confusion along the way brought on by my pitiful attempts at a one night stand.

I ain’t exactly the… swooziest lover with the slickest tongue if you know what I’m saying...

Chapters will be Published every other week but for those of you who don't want to wait forever Chapter One and Chapter Six are the most corrected ones so far. So for those of you who just want the smut then have at it.

Let's just say your luck with the mares isn't all that great, two months in Ponyville and you've had your heart stomped on more times than you can count. That coupled with the fact you've lost your job, your house, and have barely enough bits to feed yourself means your life isn't exactly going so great. And after another botched attempt at a relationship you're ready to swear off of the whole dating game for good.
But after a night of drunken debauchery you awaken to find yourself in the service of Ponyville's premiere fashionista, you're willing to forget your previous pledge to the single life after she proves herself to be the kindest and most generous pony you've ever met, but only time will tell if she'll be your future lover or the next in line of a long list of mare's who you'd rather forget.
