Though their dates went well, it took Rainbow forever to get her friends together in an intimate setting. Lero was still really freaking shy about the whole sex thing, and Twilight seemed really uncertain as well. Which was really odd, since she’d said she’d been in a herd before. It was exasperating for the cyan pegasus; she’d manage to talk one of her friends into it, only to have the other chicken out, which made the first one chicken out the next time. It was worse that she couldn’t even get mad at them for it; she’d already known that Twilight could be shy at the strangest times, and Lero… she couldn’t stay mad at Lero. He’d smile at her apologetically, and every shred of irritation would evaporate.
Finally, finally, she managed to get them together on the same night. She was smiling to herself as she walked through the street with Twilight, headed back to the house she shared with Lero. They’d just dropped Spike off to spend the night at Sweet Apple Acres, giving Twilight the night free. The unicorn had been quiet since leaving Spike behind, but Rainbow wasn’t too worried. Twilight had told her a few days ago that she was starting to feel ready for a more… physical encounter.
Next to her, the unicorn bit her lip. “Rainbow, are you sure Lero will be okay with this?”
Rainbow gave her a sidelong look, smiling. “Yeah, pretty sure. He’ll probably be all stammery at first, especially when we start taking his clothes off, but don’t let that scare you. If he gets worried, just let me get him in the mood. Don’t worry, I won’t hog him. I’ll make sure you have plenty of fun.”
“But, well, he’s… he’s not acting like a stallion who’s interested. Are you really, truly sure he wants to do this?”
Rainbow laughed. “Oh, man, you too, huh? Yeah, he doesn’t act right. That had me fooled forever before I just went ahead and risked it.” She remembered how tense and scared she’d been after that first kiss, thinking she’d completely blown it. A quiet smile spread across her face as she thought about how wrong she’d been to think that.
Twilight blinked, then her gaze went a little distant. “Oh. Oh! Right, somehow I completely forgot how he thinks backward.”
“Aw, don’t sweat it. I’ve talked to him a bunch, and I’m positive he’ll go along, he’ll just be a little shy at first. And I’ll be there too, so I can help you two get, y’know, started.” Rainbow wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
“I don’t want to pressure him…”
The pegasus sighed. “You won’t be. I’m not even gonna pressure him, not really. He likes you, Twi, I’m just gonna help him see that it’s okay. I’ll be there mostly to help keep him from getting too nervous.” She smiled. “You’ve kissed him, right?” Rainbow had been there when her friends had kissed, so she already knew the answer.
Twilight laughed a little nervously. “Yes. A few times. He’s a nice kisser.”
That made Rainbow’s smile warmer. “Yeah. He is. Any tongue?”
“Um. No…”
The pegasus raised an eyebrow. She could have sworn she saw tongue in a couple of those kisses. “Really? Wow, you’re missing out. Make sure to try that when we get there, it really helps get him in the mood.”
“Um.” Twilight’s voice was hesitant. “I, uh…”
“Something wrong, Twilight?” Rainbow asked, concerned. “C’mon, spit it out. I won’t bite.” She gave a self-satisfied little grin. “I only bite Lero. But don’t worry, I won’t do that; tonight’s your show.”
“Er, well, that’s… I, uh…” Twilight stammered, then scrunched her face up, and the words rushed out of her so quickly Rainbow barely caught them. “I’veneverdonethisbefore.”
“Huh?” Rainbow tilted her head. “Never done what before? Been with Lero? Yeah, I’d kinda know if you had. He’d probably have mentioned it.” She snorted.
The unicorn shook her head. “No, no, I mean… I mean I’ve never done this before. With anyone. I was… I’d always get too nervous…”
Rainbow blinked in surprise. “What? I thought you said you were in a herd in school! With, what was it, five other mares and two stallions?”
Twilight nodded convulsively. “I was! It’s just… whenever things started getting… physical… I’d always get nervous and back off. I mean, I watched a few times but I was never… er… the one with…” She trailed off, swallowing nervously.
“The one with the stallion?” Twilight nodded, silently, and Rainbow blinked again in shock. “Uh, wow, Twi. Wow. Like, never?”
Twilight shook her head. “Never,” she said in a small voice.
“Er. So, like, never ever or just never with stallions?” Rainbow was having trouble believing it. Twilight could be shy, yeah, but she had charisma by the cartload when she decided to use it, and she was Celestia’s personal student, besides. The stallions should’ve been just falling over her!
“Never ever. Apart from a couple of times with a cooler.” That really didn’t count, and if Twilight was mentioning it at all then she really was inexperienced. Twilight ducked her head, hiding her eyes behind her forelock. “A couple of the other fillies tried, especially Silvermoon. I just… I got scared. Backed off. That’s… part of why I left the herd. They really were upset to see me go, they were sure if they tried harder I’d enjoy it, but I… I just got scared.”
“Wow,” Rainbow said frankly, “And I thought I hadn’t gotten much.” Twilight ducked her head, ashamed, and Rainbow bit her lip. “Are you scared now?”
“A little.”
Okay, yeah, it’s more than a little. Rainbow stepped in front of Twilight and stopped, making the unicorn stop too. She ducked her head, looking under Twilight’s forelock to catch her friend’s purple eyes. “Hey, Twilight, if you really, honestly don’t want to do this, then we won’t. Lero’s a little nervous too; he says humans don’t usually do the group thing. I think you’d both like it, but if you really are scared…”
Twilight smiled shyly. “Well, I don’t think I’m actually scared, but I am nervous. It’s just… what if I do something wrong? I don’t really know what to do! I… I found some reference material on pegasus mares, but you already said you don’t like other fillies that way, and Lero… there’s nothing on any creatures like him! What if I mess up?”
Rainbow chuckled. “Oh, man, I know where you’re coming from, Twilight. You have no idea how nervous I was the first time he and I got past just making out.” Which had been the same day they’d gotten to making out, but she didn’t feel the need to mention that. That had been one whirlwind of a day.
Twilight gaped in shock. “You? Nervous?”
The pegasus nodded. “Oh yeah.” She smiled distantly. She wouldn’t tell just anypony about this, but she trusted Twilight to keep her secret. And maybe it would help the unicorn with her own nervousness. “Man, I was just sure I was gonna screw up and lose the only guy who’d ever said I was pretty. I didn’t need to worry though.” Her eyes got a little misty. “And I’ve had no complaints. Seriously, Twilight, you don’t need to worry either. We’ll take good care of ya.”
“Uh… can you give me an idea of what to expect?” Twilight’s voice was still a little hesitant.
Rainbow cocked her head to the side. “A little. I mean, one of the things I thought was great was that he paid really close attention to what I liked, so it’ll probably be a little different for you. Um, be ready for a lot of foreplay, first off, he really goes in for that.” She blinked, thinking. “Oh, and he likes to do it dolphin-style. It’s kinda kinky at first, but it’s really great once you get used to it.”
Twilight’s eyes widened. “Dolphin-style? You mean belly-to-belly? Really?”
Rainbow nodded happily. “Yep! Seriously, it’s better than I thought it’d be. You have no idea how sexy it is to have him between your legs like that. And you can kiss him at the same time without stretching your neck.” She closed her eyes, basking in remembered pleasure.
The unicorn chewed her lip. “Um. I don’t know if I want to go that… experimental the first time. Do you think he’d be okay doing it the normal way?”
“Uh…” Rainbow thought hard. “Well… The thing is, with the size difference and all, the normal way wouldn’t really… y’know, fit.” The pegasus made a vague, extremely crude gesture with both forehooves. “If he got down on his knees, he’d be too short; your privates would be halfway up his belly. And if he stands up, he’s way too tall. I mean, maybe he could, like, lift your backside up to his waist level, but I don’t think he’d go for that.” She tapped her chin with her forehoof. “Oh, maybe… Listen, I think I’ve got an idea, but I’d need to kinda try it out with him first to make sure it works. I think it will though. Trust me?”
“I do trust you, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said with a nod. She tilted her head. “Are you sure you don’t want to participate? I’d probably feel a little more comfortable with another mare…”
Rainbow shrugged uneasily. “I dunno, Twilight. I like you, but… we’ll see, okay?”
“Okay.” Twilight smiled gently. “If you do feel like joining in, please do. If not, that’s okay.”
They passed the rest of the short walk in silence, trading occasional smiles. Finally, they got to Rainbow and Lero’s home, and Rainbow opened the front door. “After you,” she said with a smile.
“Why, thank you!” Twilight said, bowing slightly and giggling, and stepped past her friend into the house. Rainbow followed, and her ears picked up the sound of running water in the kitchen.
“C’mon, Twilight,” Rainbow said, twitching her head toward the kitchen. They found Lero there, finishing up with the dishes. He’d cooked dinner for the three of them that evening, plus Spike, and had stayed home to clean up while the two ponies took the dragon to stay with Applejack. “Hey, big guy, you about done here?”
“Yep,” He turned the water off and turned to face them. “Not really anything left to do in here.”
Rainbow stood on her back hooves, embracing the tall human and planting a light kiss on his lips. “Well, then. There’s some stuff we could do in the bedroom, instead.” He smiled, a little nervously, but she’d expected that. They’d talked about it quite a bit, and she knew he’d be nervous right up until she and Twilight distracted him. Rainbow patted him on the shoulder, whispering, “It’s okay, big guy. Twilight’s nervous, too.” She dropped back to all fours. “C’mon, let’s go get comfy.”
Rainbow turned to lead the way, noting as she did the nervous smiles Lero and Twilight exchanged. She rolled her eyes a bit where they couldn’t see. They’ll settle down when it gets fun. She led the way down the hall, Lero behind her and Twilight bringing up the rear. Hopping up on the bed, she patted the spot next to her for Lero to sit. Twilight paused, uncertainly, before hopping up next to him. Lero’s bed was big enough for him and Dash with a little space left over, but since they weren’t doing anything at the moment there was plenty of room for three.
“Okay, guys, couplea things before we start,” Rainbow announced. “First up, Lero, Twilight’s a little uncomfortable doing the face-to-face thing, but I think I’ve got a way around it. Scoot back a little?”
“Sure.” He did so, shifting his position closer to the center of the bed.
“Thanks,” she flashed him a grin. “Okay, I don’t think it’d work for you to mount her, but how ‘bout this…” She stepped across the bed carefully, straddling his legs with her back hooves, and carefully sat on his lap. She could feel his genitals through his pants, almost exactly where they needed to be, but the position wasn’t as close as it could have been. She pushed herself back with her forehooves, and then felt his arms go around her and pull her close. She leaned back against his chest, his arms wrapped around her chest. “Mmm. Yeah, I think that’d work.” She wiggled her hips a bit, making sure everything was positioned right, and as she did so the spot between her wings rubbed against his chest. Ooh. That is nice. “You comfortable, big guy?” She looked to the side, noting that his head was about on level with her chin. She’d expected that, his body and neck combined were a bit shorter than hers.
“Yeah, it’s not bad,” he replied. “I kind of like it.”
“Awesome.” Rainbow looked to Twilight. “What do you think, Twi? This be okay?”
The unicorn caught her lower lip in her teeth, her violet eyes anxious. “Uh, yes. That… that looks okay.”
“Awesome!” Rainbow said again. She got up off of Lero’s lap, a little regretfully, and sat back down next to him. She was going to have to remember that position; they’d never tried it before. “Okay, one more thing. Lero, this is Twilight’s first time with a guy.” He looked at Twilight in surprise, and she nodded hesitantly. “She’s kinda nervous. I know you are, too. So why don’t the two of you start it off with a kiss?”
Twilight gave Lero a shy smile, but neither of them moved. Rainbow rolled her eyes again and gave Lero a little push with her wing. “C’mon, I know you guys have kissed before.”
Twilight’s smile firmed a bit, still looking at Lero. “W-would you mind if I kissed you?”
“No, I wouldn’t mind at all.” Rainbow’s friends leaned toward each other hesitantly, finally making contact. The pegasus watched the slow movement of their lips against each other, before they finally moved apart again, their eyes opening slowly.
“That… that was nice,” Twilight said, quietly, her eyes shining.
“C’mon, guys,” Rainbow said, quietly. “That was a ‘we’re standing outside the restaurant and don’t wanna get too raunchy’ kiss, not a ‘we’re in the bedroom’ kiss. Here,” She hooked a forehoof over Lero’s shoulder, turning him to face her. “Lemme show you.” She kissed him, starting slowly by caressing his lips with hers, then gently teasing his mouth open with her tongue and sliding it in. She slowly, gently explored his teeth, feeling the sharp points against her tongue, while his tongue gently rubbed the underside of hers. She made sure to take a good, long time and make the kiss nice and gentle, but that didn’t make it any less intense. She finally slid her tongue back into her mouth and drew her head back. “See, Twi, that’s the kinda kiss I mean,” Rainbow said, slightly breathlessly.
Twilight blinked, her eyes wide. “Oh, wow, Rainbow.” She licked her lips. “Um. Lero? Do… do you mind if I try a kiss like that?”
“If you’d be comfortable with it,” he said, his face a little flushed. He glanced aside at Rainbow, who gave him a little smile and nodded. She hoped he’d find his confidence; they’d talked about this. She wasn’t worried about them being with Twilight, and she hoped he’d come to accept that as the evening went on. And besides, she’d told him to say something if he got uncomfortable.
Twilight leaned forward, still hesitant, pausing every few inches to look into Lero’s eyes and make sure it was still okay. Finally, though, their lips met again. The kiss started just as the previous one had, slow movement of lips against lips, but then Rainbow saw Twilight’s mouth open, just a bit, and was able to see the tip of the unicorn’s tongue teasing the human’s lips. Rainbow couldn’t contain the smile that spread across her face at the sight, happiness that her friends were finally sharing the joy she’d already felt suffusing her body. Lero’s hand moved up, caressing Twilight’s neck and ear, and the unicorn almost melted at the touch. She pushed closer, the kiss deepening as Twilight molded herself against Lero’s body while his arm went around her, pulling her close.
Uh, wow, Rainbow thought. She could almost feel the emotion radiating from the two, her familiarity with both enabling her to read their moods from their movements, posture, and expression. This is actually pretty hot. She’d been pretty much exactly where Twilight was now, and knowing what her friend was feeling… she had to admit it was turning her on some.
Twilight’s eyes were slightly glazed when she finally pulled back. “Wooooow,” she whispered.
“Heh, that looked better,” Rainbow commented with a grin.
“It was a nice kiss,” Lero observed quietly. Twilight grinned.
“I thought so. Your teeth are so sharp, though.” The unicorn caught her lip in her teeth. “Could… we do that again?”
Lero looked at Rainbow, who rolled her eyes. She gently pushed him toward Twilight, snickering. While they kissed the second time, Rainbow leaned in close, folding a wing across Lero’s back and whispering to Twilight, “I warned you he’d be kinda nervous.”
Twilight giggled. That had sort of been Rainbow’s objective; Lero had told her he really liked it when she laughed while she was kissing him. The pegasus pulled back, giving her friends space again. Lero’s face was a little flushed when the kiss ended, which was usually a sign he was getting excited. Okay, cool, Lero’s getting into it. Time to get Twilight involved. “Hey, Twi, unicorns like having their horns played with, right? Gets you hot, like under my wings, right?”
Twilight’s eyes opened wide, and a flush spread across her face. “Uh… w-what?”
Oops. Maybe too fast. “Er. You know, we are kinda in the bedroom, Twilight. You can tell us this stuff.”
“I… w-well…” Twilight stammered, blushing.
“Twilight,” Lero said gently, “If you don’t want to keep going, we can stop.”
The unicorn shook her head. “No, no, I’m just… I’m a little nervous, that’s all. I haven’t really… talked about stuff like this before.”
“It’s okay, Twilight. You don’t need to be nervous. It’s just you, and me, and Rainbow. No one else.” Lero’s voice was calm. “Neither of us is going to make fun of you if anything happens.” He gave Rainbow a look that said, we won’t, will we? The pegasus nodded, wordlessly acknowledging the mild rebuke.
“Okay. It’s… it’s okay, Rainbow’s question just took me a bit by surprise.” Twilight bit her lip. “Um… T-to answer your question, it’s complicated. My horn… well, like it is right now, it’s got almost no feeling.”
“Wait, really?” Rainbow asked. “So, why were the unicorns in that magazine licking each other’s…” She trailed off, realizing Lero and Twilight were both staring at her. “Wh- I didn’t buy it!” She exclaimed, defensively, “I just saw it, okay? Yeah, maybe I turned a page or two, ‘cause the guy was hot and I was… I left it there, though!”
“You were just curious, right, Rainbow?” Twilight teased gently.
The pegasus rolled her eyes. “Hey, I thought we weren’t making fun!”
Lero laughed. “Technically, we weren’t teasing Twilight.” Rainbow rolled her eyes with an annoyed huff, and the human leaned in close. “Sorry, love,” he said, before kissing her gently. Her irritation vanished, washed away by the feel of his lips on hers.
Rainbow smiled when the kiss ended. “Totally forgiven,” she told him. She shook herself. “Wait, but Twilight didn’t answer! I mean, that magazine was supposed to be for unicorns, at least that’s what I thought. Why would they’ve been licking each others’ horns if they couldn’t feel anything?”
Twilight was flushing under her lavender fur. “W-well… It’s… You see, like this I can’t feel anything. Do you want to see?” She angled her head toward Rainbow and Lero, pointing her horn between them.
Rainbow nudged her coltfriend. “Why don’t you try, Lero?”
He looked uneasy. “Are you sure you’re all right with this, Rainbow? With me… being with another wo- mare?”
“I’m totally all right. Look, you like Twilight, right? You guys talk for hours sometimes.”
“Yeah.”
“Think she’s cute?”
“Well… yes.” Twilight flushed deeper, a shy smile spreading across her lips at the compliment.
“I like her, too. She’s one of my best friends, and I trust both of you to be good to each other. And to me. And it’s not like I’m not here!” She folded a wing over his back. “Look, I’ll be here next to ya the whole time. And I promise,” she put a forehoof over her heart, making the most virtuous expression she could, “I’ll tell you if you do anything that I‘m uneasy about, just like you promised earlier you’d tell me if you got uncomfortable. So go ahead, touch her.”
He gingerly reached out a hand, gently brushing his fingertips across the unicorn’s spiral horn. Twilight smiled, but didn’t react other than that. “See?” She said gently as he ran his finger along the spiral groove, “No real sensation… Oh, be careful of the tip, it’s quite sharp.”
“So I see,” Lero said, passing his thumb across the tip of Twilight’s horn. “Um… I notice you said you can’t feel anything when it’s ‘like this.’ I presume that means there’s another way where you can feel something?”
“Um… yes,” Twilight said, flushing again. “You see… er, when I actually have magic running through my horn, it becomes extremely sensitive. Sensitive enough that touching it roughly can be painful.”
“Oh!” Rainbow exclaimed, “So that’s why my fighting teachers told me to do that.”
“To do what?” Twilight asked, tilting her head.
“Oh, they always said that if I fought somepony using the Still Way I was supposed to get in close and pop ‘em in the horn. Said it’d break their concentration so I could take ‘em down.”
Twilight actually flinched at Rainbow’s words, lifting a foreleg to hide her horn. “Ouch, Rainbow Dash! That would… ouch!”
“Wouldn’t be too comfortable, huh?”
“Gracious, no. That would be remarkably painful.” Twilight winced again at the thought. “It would be worse than twisting your wing.”
Now it was Rainbow’s turn to wince. “Okay, yeah, been there. That hurts.” She paused. “So, you’ve got to run magic through your horn for you to feel it? Does it feel good?”
“It feels incredible,” Twilight said with a sigh, “And yes, I have felt it before.” She declined to elaborate on that point. “I don’t necessarily need to build up the power myself, though, and the way to make it feel really good is… well, it’s involuntary for me.”
“Involuntary, eh?” Lero asked with a raised eyebrow, “A bit like Rainbow’s wings getting stiff? What triggers it?” Rainbow hid a grin. The more scholarly tone of the discussion was distracting him, just like it sometimes distracted Twilight.
“Um.” Twilight’s blush had been fading, but now it came back full force. “W-well, the base of my horn… it’s sensitive. Touching that… as long as you’re gentle… it, well, it makes magic start channeling. Not a lot of magic, but enough to matter.”
Rainbow snorted. “You really don’t have to tell him to be gentle, Twi. I have to tell him when I want to play rough.”
“You haven’t complained,” Lero observed with a smirk. Rainbow stuck her tongue out at him, eyes dancing. He chuckled and turned back to Twilight, who was looking a bit more relaxed. “Okay, Twilight, tell me if this makes you uncomfortable.”
He took a deep breath and slowly reached out his hand, starting by caressing the unicorn’s ear gently, then trailing his fingers to the base of her horn. Twilight’s breath caught in her throat at the contact, but she didn’t say a word. She bit her lip as his fingers started to slowly explore the junction between her horn and her head.
“Am I doing this right?” The human asked.
Rainbow had to stifle a snicker as Twilight tried to nod without moving her head. “Oh, yes,” she said a little breathlessly, “Yes, that’s… could you go just a little faster, please?” Lero’s fingers increased their pace, stroking around the base of Twilight’s horn, and the unicorn let out a quiet moan. A gentle violet glow enfolded the spiral appendage, flickering slightly, and Twilight let out another quiet moan, pushing a little closer to Lero.
“So your horn can feel stuff now, right?”
“I… y-yes, Rainbow, I think- ohhhhhh,” Twilight groaned quietly. Heh, Rainbow thought, she’s louder than me or Lero. The expression of rapt pleasure on Twilight’s face… the pegasus had to admit it was turning her on a little, just like that kiss had.
Well, she’s not so nervous anymore, Rainbow thought with a smile. “Hey, big guy, see how she likes you touching her horn now,” she whispered in Lero’s ear, scooting up close so she could press her chest against his back and lay her head on his shoulder for a better view. It was a comfortable spot to sit, and it made sure he knew exactly where she was.
“Was just about to do that,” he replied in an undertone. His fingers left the base of the unicorn’s horn, trailing oh-so-lightly up, following one spiraling groove. Rainbow could actually see the glowing field eddy around Lero’s fingers, and Twilight voiced another soft groan, much longer this time. The glow of magic intensified a bit, glowing more brightly around the human’s intruding digits.
Rainbow blinked, something suddenly occurring to her. “Uh, Twilight? Don’t unicorns have, like, random magic go off when someone’s doing this kinda thing?”
Twilight’s eyes opened slightly, trying to focus on Rainbow. “I… um… wha?” Rainbow repeated her question, a little louder. “Oh. Um…. Ohhhhh, please don’t stop… W-well, yes, that does normally… oh… normally happen when… mmm… when one’s partner does things p-properly.” Twilight was panting a bit, having clear difficulty focusing. She pushed closer, snuggling her shoulder up against Lero’s chest while his fingers danced lightly over her horn. The glow was getting brighter, a brilliant pinpoint of light forming at the tip of her horn.
“So, um, should we be worried? You’re a bunch stronger than any unicorn I’ve ever met…” Rainbow trailed off, unsure how to finish her question.
“Ohhhhh,” Twilight groaned again, her body undulating a bit in ecstasy. “N-no,” she gasped, “It’s not dangerous. It… mmm… it won’t be much more than lights, maybe a tingle… oh… if it touches you.”
“Oh, okay. Awesome.” Rainbow relaxed. Whew. Was a little worried I might wind up as a cactus or something. She nibbled a little on Lero’s neck, despite her earlier intention not to. “Hey, Lero,” she whispered into his ear, trying to keep her voice quiet enough that Twilight couldn’t hear it over the sound of her own quiet groans, “Idea. Try touching that light at the tip.”
He gave her a sidelong look and a smile, and his fingers slid along the glowing horn to the pinpoint of light at the end. “Are you… oh… ohhhhh,” Twilight groaned. “Oh, be careful. It’s sharp, don’t… uh,” the unicorn’s body twitched with pleasure, “don’t hurt yourself. Oh, don’t stop, though.” The human gently wrapped his fingers around Twilight’s horn, grasping lightly as he passed his thumb through the glowing point of light. The unicorn shuddered ecstatically, a louder moan erupting from her throat.
Rainbow chuckled in his ear. “She’s really liking that. I think you may get her off before we even get your clothes off.”
“I’ve done that to you, too,” he whispered back, turning his head to give her a light kiss. “More than once.”
She giggled. “Yeah, you have.” Rainbow felt a delightful tingle in her nethers at the memory, her eyes avidly watching Twilight writhing and moaning in pleasure. Rainbow hooked a foreleg over Lero’s shoulder, enjoying the feeling of having her coltfriend close to her while watching one of her closest friends enjoy herself.
Lero kept gently teasing the glow around Twilight’s horn as the unicorn got more and more incoherent, moaning and squeaking in delight and gradually getting louder. Rainbow chuckled. “Wow, she’s lasting longer than I did the first time.”
“Guess you’re just a sprinter.” The human’s face was flushed; he was clearly enjoying Twilight’s reactions, even more than Rainbow was. Good. He’s starting to relax, too.
The pegasus chuckled again, biting Lero lightly on the neck. She felt him shiver against her chest. “Hey, big guy, you got two hands.”
“So I do. That’s a good idea.” His other hand moved up, finding the base of Twilight’s horn. The unicorn let out a loud gasp at the contact, followed by a surprisingly deep groan.
“Oh… I’m… I’m about to…” Rainbow blinked as Twilight spasmed, emitting a loud moan, just short of a scream. Sparkling motes of light shot from the unicorn’s horn, dissolving into glittering showers of sparks when they struck an object. One of the motes hit Rainbow in the cheek, making her jerk her head back, but all she felt was a slight tingle. Twilight’s body was rigid, trembling against Lero’s chest for quite a long time before she almost explosively relaxed, panting heavily. The unicorn’s eyes were shut, and she was quivering, sweat dampening her coat.
“You okay, Twilight?” Lero asked, concerned.
“Yes… yes, I’m fine,” Twilight panted. “My… hah… my, uh… they’re always like that.”
“Wow.” Rainbow commented, a trifle enviously. “Wow. Every time? Uh, wow.”
Twilight nodded, her eyes finally opening. She looked at Lero and Rainbow, her violet irises half-hidden behind her eyelids. “Yes. That strong or stronger.” She swallowed, smiling. “That was nice, by the way. You got a little fast at the end, there, but it was still pretty great.” She was catching her breath, her speech getting more regular.
“That was actually just supposed to be foreplay,” Lero said, sounding embarrassed. “I didn’t realize it would be quite that intense, or I would have taken longer.”
“I didn’t realize you were quite that, y’know, loud,” Rainbow observed bluntly. Twilight blushed, and Lero slapped the pegasus’s forehoof lightly in rebuke. “What? I’m not making fun of her! She did make a lot of noise.”
“Be nice, Rainbow,” Lero said, turning his head slightly so he could look at her out of the corner of his eye. “It’s just the way she is, no need to make a big deal about it. I don’t make a big deal over the fact that you snore.”
“What? I don’t snore!”
“Yes, you do. Sometimes, at least. It isn’t very loud, but it’s there.”
“Oh yeah? Well, you make funny squeaks when I tickle you.” He tried to twist aside, anticipating what was coming, but Rainbow was pretty much draped over his back, with her head resting on his shoulder. There wasn’t really anywhere he could go, and she poked her forehoof into his side with unerring precision, eliciting the very noise she was referring to. “Like that. So there.” She stuck her tongue out.
Twilight giggled, and Rainbow felt Lero pat her knee on the side Twilight couldn’t see. The pegasus turned back to her friend. “So, Twilight, did that wear you out, or are you still up for the main event?”
The unicorn’s eyes widened. “What? But I just… oh, wait, you said you two went… more than once.”
“Yep! A lot more, usually.” Rainbow said with a grin. “You look kinda worn out, but not really any worse than me after, what, six or so?” She looked at Lero for confirmation.
“About that. Maybe five.”
“Yeah, so no reason to stop now! I mean, I think we’ve maxed out at eight. For me, not him; he gets kinda sore if he has more than one.”
“I don’t know that you maxed out at eight, Rainbow,” Lero put in, “There was that one time…”
Rainbow winced. “Oh, yeah, that time. I lost count that time. It was awesome, but man was I sore afterward.”
“W-well… maybe I could try for one more,” Twilight said hesitantly.
Rainbow beamed. “Awesome! Okay, the next part’s a ton of fun. Want to help me take off Lero’s clothes?”
“I never have figured out why you like that so much,” the human commented.
“Ha! Come on, it’s like unwrapping a present!” She kissed his cheek. “And besides, I get to touch you all over, which is always fun.”
“Well, okay, give me just a few moments and I’ll help,” Twilight said, smiling.
“Why not now? C’mon, Twi, you can’t be that tired.”
Twilight pointed a forehoof at her horn, which was still faintly glowing. “I can’t use my magic yet. Give me about a minute.”
Rainbow scoffed. “Aw, using magic? That’s no fun! Half the fun of undressing him’s the touching! Just use your hooves and mouth.”
“Hold up, Rainbow,” Lero interjected, holding up a hand. “Twilight, are you all right? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
Twilight blinked. “No, I’m fine.” Her head tilted to the side for a moment, and then an expression of realization crossed her features. “Oh! No, no, my not being able to do magic has nothing to do with what you did. Or, well, it does but not like you’re thinking. When we get, um, excited, we sort of temporarily lose our spell casting ability. It’s short-term and completely harmless. Kind of a bother, but I guess that’s how we keep from accidentally zapping our mates.”
Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Get over here and help me get him naked.”
Twilight giggled. “Okay.” The two spent the next minute or so slowly disrobing their lover, lingering to caress him and both stealing kisses as they did so. Rainbow was delighted that her friends seemed to be loosening up. The feeling of camaraderie while Twilight helped her remove Lero’s clothes was delightful, the occasional brush against her friend’s side making the whole situation more comfortable for both of them. Twilight even tried to sneak a kiss, though Rainbow fended her off, laughing.
Finally they got him stripped. Rainbow noticed to her satisfaction that he was definitely aroused and ready to go, so either his reluctance was gone or it wasn’t affecting his body. Twilight was looking the human up and down with wide eyes. “Oh, my. You really do have nipples!” She giggled. “Can I touch them?”
“Uh, sure.” He gave her an odd look that she either ignored or didn’t notice. Rainbow resumed her earlier spot, pressed up against Lero’s back and leaning her head on his shoulder, as Twilight leaned forward with her gaze focused on his chest. She brushed her lips against his pink nipples, easily visible despite the dark, wiry hair on his chest.
“Oh, they’re soft,” Twilight observed. She looked up and met his eyes again. “Do they have sensation like ours do?”
“Yeah, but I think they’re a little less sensitive.” Rainbow glanced askance at him at this statement. She’d gotten some pretty good reactions from playing with his nipples, but she didn’t contradict him.
Twilight giggled again, and lightly took the tip of the human’s nipple in her teeth. “Careful there, Twi,” Rainbow warned, “The skin on those is really thin.” She’d never bitten him there; she’d always been careful to confine her love-nibbles to spots like his shoulders and neck, and occasionally his ears or hands. Mostly because she didn’t completely trust herself not to accidentally bite too hard, so she stuck to spots where his skin was tougher. The thought sparked a small idea. “Hey, big guy, gimme one of your hands.” Her current position made it nearly impossible for him or Twilight to play with her (a price she was willing to pay, since it let Twilight have unfettered access to Lero, while letting Rainbow stay in a position to comfort him with her presence) but that didn’t mean she couldn’t play with him some. He brought one arm up across his body, and she caught it with her free forehoof, bringing it up to her face. While Twilight played with his nipples some more, Rainbow started kissing his fingers. She’d learned that he especially liked it when she licked the spaces between his fingers, and when she nibbled on his fingertips, both things that she’d get to after teasing him for a while.
Twilight finally finished playing with Lero’s nipples, and ran her gaze down his body. “That’s interesting,” she observed, “You don’t have a sheath? Does, um, does it just go inside when you’re not… ready?”
Rainbow chuckled around Lero’s finger. “Nah, it just gets smaller,” she answered for him. She laughed again, dirtily. “and it can move in a bunch of different angles. We’ve tried a bunch of different positions.” The pegasus nibbled on the human’s fingertip, and followed up by sliding her tongue slowly between his fingers.
Twilight colored again. Lero turned his head, meeting Rainbow’s eyes as she played with his hand. The two shared a quiet, intimate smile.
“I think I finally get it,” Twilight observed. Rainbow and Lero both jumped, turning back to look at the unicorn. She smiled warmly at both of them. “I see you both teasing each other and joking most of the time, but every once in a while I’d see you get quiet like that, and I wondered about it. That’s how you really feel, isn’t it? Deep down? The rest is just how you act in public.”
Rainbow blinked. “Well, we joke a lot in private too…”
Twilight shook her head. “That’s not what I mean. There’s something underneath that. You really care about each other, don’t you?”
The human and the pegasus shared another smile. “Yeah, we do,” Lero said. “I’m not really comfortable with public displays of affection…”
“…And I guess I just don’t like acting like that around other ponies,” Rainbow finished.
“That’s the same thing,” he observed, locking eyes with her again.
Rainbow stuck out her tongue. “Whatever. I just use regular words instead of fancy ones.” They shared another smile. This was a long-standing mock-argument, and they didn’t really need to go through the whole thing right now. Rainbow turned back to Twilight. “Are we bothering you?”
“Oh, no, no, no!” Twilight exclaimed. “Completely the opposite! I just feel so… so privileged that you’re willing to let me see it. And to let me join you here, tonight.”
“Aw, don’t mention it, Twi.” Rainbow paused. “And here I am hogging him when I said I wasn’t gonna do that. Hey, c’mon, get over here so you can have some fun!”
“I feel a little guilty,” Twilight scooted hesitantly closer. “I mean, you’re not getting any attention. Are you sure you don’t want me to…”
“Nah, I’m fine,” Rainbow interrupted.
“I can reach, actually,” Lero volunteered. “Here, Rainbow, let go of my hand real quick.” She released him, and his hand reached around behind him. She felt his fingers slip between his back and her belly, then slide downward between her legs. Rainbow gasped softly when his fingers found her vulva, and she was already turned on enough that the barest touch was enough to make her wings extend with a soft fwoomp.
“Oh, geez, I forgot you could reach behind you like that,” Rainbow observed breathlessly. “Stop a second, let me shift.” His fingers withdrew, and she repositioned herself. She kept her chin resting on one shoulder and her forehoof hooked over the other, her hindlegs spread with his buttocks between them. “There we go.”
“Can you reach behind your head?” Twilight asked, her head tilting.
“Yeah, easily enough.” Lero reached back, stroking Rainbow’s mane to demonstrate.
“Pull on her mane,” Twilight suggested.
“Uh… why?” Rainbow asked, at the exact same time as Lero said, “Why would I do that?”
The unicorn giggled. “Oh, you don’t know about that? Yes, just give it a little tug, right here.” She ducked her head and pointed at a spot on her mane, just a little below her head.
Lero shrugged, and Rainbow felt his fingers find her ear and trail down her neck. He gripped her mane lightly and gave a gentle tug. Rainbow’s breath caught in her throat as an unexpected bolt of pleasure flashed through her. “Woah. What was that?”
Twilight giggled. “You didn’t know about that? Every book on how to be with mares mentions that. What, you didn’t study, Lero?” Her eyes sparkled with humor.
Lero laughed. “No, professor. I didn’t do my homework; I’ve just been guessing at the test questions.” Rainbow and Twilight both laughed at that.
“Well, shame on you!” The unicorn grinned. “You should know better! Anyway, it only works when she’s already turned on, but, well,” she pointed at Rainbow’s wings, now spread and sticking out on either side of Lero’s body. “She pretty clearly is.” Twilight giggled again. “It looks a little like Lero has wings.”
Rainbow laughed again, and ducked her head behind Lero, easily hiding behind his broad body. “Now it really looks like it, huh? Look, a winged human!” Twilight laughed, too, and Lero chuckled. The pegasus resumed her previous spot. “Come on, Twi, get over here. We’re gonna make a Lero sandwich.” She licked his shoulder and smacked her lips loudly. “A nice, tasty sandwich.”
Twilight giggled, and the human put his hand on his chest dramatically. “So is that all I am to you, Rainbow? A filler? I’m crushed!”
“Shut up,” Rainbow said, snorting. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
“Oh, woe is me. Reduced to naught but sandwich filling.”
Rainbow laughed again, over Twilight’s giggles. “Cut it out or I’ll start tickling you.”
“Do that and I’ll flip you and return the favor.” He’d found a way to counter her tickle assaults the second time she’d tried it, picking her up bodily and flipping her onto her back in his arms. In spite of her strength, she was lightweight enough that he could do it without too much trouble, and she had trouble getting out of it when her wings were stiff. Plus, held on her back like that, he was easily able to reach her ticklish belly.
“You wouldn’t.” Rainbow paused. “Wait. Yes you would. Why, sir,” The pegasus’s voice shifted a bit, her pronunciation taking on a slightly archaic air, “I had thought you harbored some good within you, but in truth there is naught but wickedness! I… oooooops,” Rainbow slithered to a halt, realizing what she was doing and remembering that she and Lero weren’t actually alone.
Twilight had jammed a hoof in her mouth, trying desperately not to laugh at Rainbow‘s embarrassment, her violet eyes dancing with amusement. It took her a few moments to fight it down, and when she finally spoke her voice wavered with suppressed laughter. “R-Rainbow… was that Silverwing?”
The pegasus felt like her face was on fire. Lero was shaking with suppressed laughter of his own, and his face, neck, and upper chest were flushed bright red. “Uh… I… don’t know what you’re talking about. Silverwing… that’s that book, right?”
“Yes. That book. The one you were just quoting word-for-word.” Twilight had to pause for a moment to compose herself. “And here you told me you skipped that scene.”
“I… er… okay, so maybe I did read it. And, uh, maaaybe I got Lero to read it too, and then maybe we sorta, uh, made a game out of it.” She paused. “But only maybe. I’m not admitting anything.”
“I think my next line is ‘Lady Knight, I fear you mistake fealty for wickedness,’” Lero put in, dropping his voice into the deeper baritone he’d used when he was playing Hammer Strike. Twilight actually fell over laughing, unable to stop herself.
“Oh,” the unicorn said when she caught her breath, “Oh, that’s funny. Well, was it fun?”
“Yeah,” Rainbow had to admit, “it was actually a ton of fun.” They’d only done it the once, and the pegasus had kinda been wanting to try it again and shift how things went. That was probably why she’d inadvertently slipped into character; she’d been thinking about it a fair bit recently. “And speaking of fun, get your purple butt over here if you want to have any. If you keep stalling, I might decide you’re not interested after all and just keep him for myself.”
Twilight looked a touch uncertain, but far less so than she’d been when they started. She visibly pushed her hesitation aside and nodded firmly. “Right. I remember what you did, just sit on his lap, right? It’ll just… go in?”
Rainbow nodded. “Yeah, should be fine.”
“Take it slow, and I’ll make sure everything fits,” Lero added.
“Okay.” Twilight caught her lip in her teeth, stood up on the bed, and stepped over. Rainbow couldn’t help but notice that the unicorn’s tail was twitching pretty hard, much like Rainbow’s own was.
Twilight straddled the human, one hind hoof on either side of his legs, and started slowly lowering her rump. Lero’s hand went to her hip, guiding her down, and his other hand held his member pointed where it would need to go. As the unicorn reached her destination, the hand on her hip shifted, pulling her tail to the side and out of the way. Rainbow wasn’t able to see the moment they made contact because of the angle, but she was able to see Twilight freeze and tense up.
“It’s okay, Twilight,” Rainbow said quietly. Lero’s hand moved away from his groin, so he was evidently positioned right, and gently stroked Twilight’s flank and hip. “You’ve done it with a cooler, this is pretty much similar, but loads better.”
“Oookay,” Twilight said, “I’m… I’m going to go the rest of the way now. C-could you make sure I stay straight?”
“Sure,” Lero replied, setting his hands on the unicorn’s hips. “Whenever you’re ready.” Twilight braced herself, then sat down hard. Rainbow felt Lero twitch; he’d probably expected the unicorn to go a bit slower. There was a quiet, wet noise as she was penetrated, which made Rainbow think, wow, she really was ready to go. Twilight let out a quiet, breathless moan, wiggling her hips to make sure he was all the way in.
“How’s that feel?” Rainbow asked with a grin.
“Ooooooh…” Twilight breathed, “it feels wonderful. Even better than having my horn touched.” Said horn was starting to glow again.
“Hold on, Twilight, let me get you a little closer,” Lero leaned forward and wrapped an arm around Twilight’s body, pulling her back against his chest as he’d done for Rainbow when they were testing the position. The unicorn leaned back against him, moaning wordlessly.
“There ya go,” Rainbow said in satisfaction. “Just remember he can’t move much like this, so you’ll need to do some of the moving, too.”
“Uh… uh huh.” Twilight panted, and let out another moan.
Rainbow snickered. Then she noticed the hand that wasn’t holding Twilight was sliding between her belly and Lero’s back. “Whatcha doing?”
“What I started to do earlier,” he replied, fingers sliding down between her hindlegs, “Giving you a little attention.” His searching fingers found their target, and Rainbow shivered in pleasure. She pressed herself against the human’s back as his fingers started stroking, biting her lip as her breath and heartbeat sped up. Having those long, strong fingers she enjoyed so much stroking her, both outside and inside, while just on the other side of her coltfriend Twilight moaned and writhed in pleasure was completely unlike anything she’d ever experienced. The pegasus’s eyes closed, letting her focus more completely on the sensation, and the forehoof hooked over Lero’s shoulder pulled him a little closer to Rainbow’s chest.
Twilight started moving, very slowly, letting out a moan with each stroke. Lero moved in tandem with her, thrusting slowly to match the unicorn’s rhythm, his smooth back and buttocks rubbing against Rainbow’s fur as he did so. After a few moments, Rainbow spoke up. “Uhh… Twilight, you can go a little f-faster, you know.”
The unicorn groaned. “I know. Oooooh. I… I like it th-this way.” Rainbow didn’t argue; she personally liked it faster, but if Twilight preferred a different way, that was fine. Between the sensations of feeling him inside her and feeling him thrusting in and out, Rainbow preferred the latter. Perhaps Twilight preferred the former.
“Hey, big guy,” Rainbow whispered in Lero’s ear. “Pull her mane, like you did mine.”
“H-how?” He asked, breathlessly. “I don’t want to let go of her, and I d-don’t want to stop what I’m doing to you.”
Rainbow pushed her hips forward, pinning his hand between their bodies and shoving his fingers a little deeper inside. She giggled. “I don’t want you to stop either. Just use your teeth.”
“Oh. Yeah.” He leaned forward, caught Twilight’s purple mane in his mouth, and pulled just a bit. Twilight let out a squeak in the middle of a groan, shuddering delightedly, and Rainbow grinned.
Twilight and Lero lasted for an astonishingly long time. Long enough that Rainbow worried that he’d come before the unicorn did; she knew he liked to try to time it so he came at the same time as his partner. Rainbow actually came before either of them did, despite the relatively limited attention she was receiving; the pleasure of watching her friends enjoy each other combined with the fingers inside her were just too much to resist. Her wings had clamped down, embracing both of them by accident while the orgasm gripped her. She’d felt a bit chagrined when it was over, pulling her wings away quickly, but that had been quickly forgotten. Lero had given her a few moments to catch her breath before slipping his hand between their bodies again and going back to what he’d been doing, his fingers alternating between stroking and pushing inside her. It felt just as good as it had before, and before long she was panting again.
Finally, though, the point of light at the tip of Twilight’s horn started flickering, and she let out a moan even louder than the ones she’d made before. The unicorn’s body convulsed as it had the last time she’d orgasmed, and tiny sparks of light shot out to strike the walls in glittering bursts. Rainbow, knowing that her coltfriend liked to orgasm at the same time as his partner and able to tell from the tension in his body that he was right on the verge of coming, quickly gave him a series of love-nibbles on the neck that pushed him over the edge, too. His body tensed, bending toward Twilight as the climax washed over him. Rainbow could feel his body trembling, his buttocks tight and tense between her hindlegs.
When it ended, Twilight and Lero were both out of breath, panting and sweating. Rainbow was less exhausted but no less thrilled; the encounter had gone even better than she’d expected. She grinned triumphantly as she got up, finally breaking contact with the spent human. Twilight and Lero separated, too, each flopping down on the bed to catch their breath.
“Good, Twilight?” Rainbow asked with a grin.
“Oh, yes,” the unicorn gasped. “I don’t… whew, I feel like I could just fall asleep.”
“How ‘bout you, Lero?”
“I didn’t mind being sandwich filler at all,” he said with a wry smile. “It was really good, though, well, I do wish I’d been able to do more for you.”
“Hey, you still managed to get me off.” Her wings were still extended stiffly, but that would fade before too long.
Lero scooted over and gave Twilight a long kiss that made the unicorn’s eyes glaze slightly with pleasure, then rolled over to give Rainbow one, too. “Then there’s just one thing left,” he said, looking the pegasus straight in the eye.
“What’s that?” Rainbow and Twilight asked in near-perfect unison, which made them share a look and giggle.
“Well, you’re pretty worn out, right, Twilight?” The unicorn nodded, not even bothering to speak. “And I am, too. That just leaves one of us.”
Rainbow giggled, her wings tightening and warmth flooding her chest and groin. “Aw, you don’t need to, big guy. I got off once.”
“And once usually just leaves you wanting more,” he said. Well, she couldn’t argue with that, though she’d planned on just ignoring her mild frustration. “Here, lie down on your back and I’ll give you a couple more.”
“W-would you like me to help?” Twilight asked.
Lero cocked an eyebrow and looked to Rainbow inquisitively. The pegasus hesitated, then slowly shook her head. “Umm… no thanks. I really appreciate the offer, and it was freaking hot watching the two of you, but I’ll stick with guys for now.”
“You sure you can handle it?” Twilight sounded concerned.
“Oh, absolutely,” Lero replied confidently. “I may be tired, but I know my way around Rainbow. Lie back, love.”
The pegasus did so, feeling a shiver of pleasure at what she knew was coming. He scooted her up to the head of the bed, making sure her head was propped up on the pillows so she could watch, and settled himself with his head between her legs. “Fast or slow?”
“You’re going to use your mouth?” Twilight interrupted, eyebrows lifting.
“Absolutely,” Lero replied.
“Like I said, he does stuff a little differently,” Rainbow added. “Oh my gosh it’s fantastic, though. Wanna watch?”
“I… would, actually.”
“Fine by me,” Lero said, turning to Rainbow again. “Like I said, fast or slow?”
“Fast. I’m pretty heated after that.”
“Got it.” His head lowered, and his arms went around her hips, holding her still the way she liked. She felt his breath an instant before his tongue touched her vulva, and he was off, licking quickly and pushing his tongue deep within her while his arms gripped her hips tightly.
She really was heated, and it wasn’t long before he brought her to a climax. That short, strong tongue pushing into her and sloppily roaming around her groin was just as fantastic as it ever was. His relentless pace didn’t slow after her first grunting, trembling orgasm, offering her no time to catch her breath before the second, just as he knew she liked it when she asked him to go fast. The third followed close on the heels of the second. Having Twilight lying less than a bodylength away, watching the human pleasuring her friend with a smile, somehow added even more spice to the encounter.
“Oh… okay, big guy, that’s plenty,” Rainbow told her lover as the third orgasm faded. “You can let me up now.”
“You sure?” he asked, looking up. “That was only three.”
“I’m sure. Thanks.” Rainbow reached down and gently patted his head with a forehoof. Lero pushed himself up and caught her hoof, helping her sit up as well. “I don’t know about you two, but I’m pretty beat. Twilight, you gonna stay the night?”
“If that’s okay.” The unicorn giggled. “And I’m not the only one who makes noises.”
Rainbow blinked. “Huh?”
“That little crooning noise in the back of your throat. You started doing it a little after he started licking you. I don’t know if you were doing it before; it was really quiet.” Twilight giggled again. “It was pretty sexy.”
“Uh… what noise?”
Lero cocked his head. “What, you don’t realize you do that? Yeah, you started doing it… I think it was the fourth time we were together. I usually try to use it as a guide when we’re trying something new; you only do it when you’re really turned on.” He reached out, his finger tracing the edge of her ear. “And she’s right; it’s pretty sexy.”
Rainbow chuckled. “Guess I’ll have to pay more attention next time. I had no idea I was doing that!” She shook her head. “Anyway, you guys ready for bed?”
Twilight and Lero both nodded in agreement. The three snuggled down in the bed, forming a cozy pile of fur, feathers, and smooth skin nestled in the sheets. Twilight fell asleep almost immediately, leaving Rainbow and Lero still awake.
“Heh,” Rainbow murmured, her head snuggled against Lero’s chest, “This bed’s a little small. We may have to find a bigger one.”
“Yeah, possibly.” He rubbed his forehead. “This whole house may wind up feeling kinda small.”
“Yeah.” Rainbow sighed. “There’s a couple of empty houses on the outside of town; we could buy one of those and move it, hook it up to this one. That oughta give us plenty of space.”
“Move a house? Are these buildings mobile?”
“Sure. Tie some ropes around ‘em, get a few earth ponies, and you can drag ‘em from one end of town to the other. They’re built so they can hook together, too, and make one bigger house.”
“Wow, I didn’t even realize that,” he said in a wondering tone.
The pegasus laughed, nuzzling him affectionately. “Yeah, I’d hate to think about having to cram a herd, even a little one, into one house.” She thought for a second. “Actually, we may not even need a moving crew. A.J. still owes you a favor, right? Between her, me, and Big Mac, we could probably move it without any help.”
“That had never even occurred to me,” Lero said quietly. “There’s something else we might consider, on a related note.”
“What?”
“Well, the three of us might be able to spend the night at your house occasionally.”
Rainbow blinked blankly for a moment, and then a huge grin suffused her face as realization dawned. “Holy horse apples, we could! My bed’s kinda small, I’d need to move in another one to fit all of us… but it’s got plenty of space otherwise, and with Twilight right there we wouldn’t have to worry about the cloudwalking spell on either of you running out and dropping through the floor! Oh, man, I think you guys’d love it up there.” That idea was literally a dream come true; she’d been wanting to take him up into the clouds for a tryst since they’d started sleeping together.
“I’ll look forward to it.” He turned his head, brushing his lips lightly across hers. They snuggled together, listening to Twilight’s quiet breathing as they both gradually drifted off.
