//------------------------------// // Chapter Twenty Three: Wet Lies // Story: Trixie and Maud: Heart of Stone // by TheCrimsonDM //------------------------------// HEART OF STONE Chapter Twenty Three: Wet Lies TheCrimsonDM Trixie soaked in the hot water of the bath lying on her side, her forelegs wrapped around Maud as they soaked in the green tinted water. She nuzzled into Maud’s strong chest and had her legs wrapped around Maud. She took in the sweet smell of the herbs used to cure them of the Poison Joke. Trixie had been surprised to watch as the bath water washed the scars away as easily as dirt. Trixie would have loved to make this bath a little more intimate, but Pinkie Pie poked her head in almost every five minutes to check up on them. The idea that Pinkie Pie might be getting her revenge for what Trixie and Maud had done on Pinkie’s bed the night before had crossed her mind. Trixie let out a sigh hoping that Pinkie Pie wouldn’t hold it against them for too long. Maud was still quiet and Trixie couldn’t help but worry about her. “Honey…um…I have a question,” Trixie said timidly. Maud wrapped a leg around Trixie’s waist and said, “so do I.” That didn’t sound good. Maud had a strange feeling about her. It wasn’t something that Trixie could quite place. Trixie didn’t feel that her own question was all that important at the moment, she could wait. “Okay what do you need to know?” No reply came from Maud for a few long seconds, but finally Maud said, “actually I have a few questions. First of all who is Scath?” Trixie felt Maud’s leg grip become a little tighter around her waist. She could also feel Maud’s concern. Trixie didn’t want to tell Maud about Scath, she didn’t want to worry her. She could lie to Maud, but that felt wrong. She really didn’t want to talk about it, or even think about it. Plus if Trixie could only keep this secret a little longer, it could keep Maud safe from harm, she just had to keep it secret until Twilight fixed this mess. At the same time something told Trixie, that Maud didn’t need to know, because this didn’t concern Maud in the slightest. That Maud would only make things harder than need be, and keeping the secrets would be best. Trixie didn’t like that part of her, but she agreed with it. “Wow, that’s definitely a…question,” Trixie replied nervously. “Okay so, Scath is…a nightmare I had. It scared me, and I don’t do very well with scary things…you know.” Maud was quiet for a moment before saying, “so Scath isn’t a stallion?” Trixie nearly sat up in surprise at hearing that, but couldn’t bring herself to pull away from Maud’s warm, fuzzy, and wet chest. “No, not at all. Why would you even worry about that?” Again there was no reply for a long moment. Finally Maud said, “I was worried that you might be thinking about somepony else…you were saying that name in your sleep last night as well.” “Stallions are disgusting. I mean they have…things. I don’t even want to think about a stallion that way. Besides that I would never cheat on you, Maud. You mean more to me then the whole world,” Trixie explained and finished by kissing Maud’s chest softly. Maud then said, “thank you.” Trixie found Maud’s hoof beginning to slide a little lower down her waist. Maud then asked, “and what about your health, are you feeling okay? You’ve been throwing up?” Trixie began to understand the rules here. So long as Trixie gave out satisfactory answers Maud would continue to slide her hooves lower. Maybe if Trixie answered them all she would get exactly what she wanted. Trixie liked this game now. Trixie couldn’t help but purr, “mmm, I’m fine. Just fine, but if you were to give me an examination I wouldn’t be opposed.” Trixie opened her mouth to say more, but then realized exactly what she had just said to Maud and closed her eyes, her face beginning to burn from embarrassment. She didn’t mean to say that out loud. “That’s new,” Maud said sliding her hoof a little lower. “I’m not a doctor. but I could try my ‘hoof’ at it.” Maud’s hoof was indeed a magical cure to many problems for Trixie, although it wasn’t a mystery as to why. Trixie craved Maud’s hoof, wanting it to move even lower. Trixie then asked, “did you have any more questions?” Maud kissed the back of Trixie’s head softly and said, “just one. What were you doing on the first day we came to Ponyville. You disappeared completely, and I didn’t see you until late at night. You got sick after that, and didn’t say anything else about it. So what happened?” Trixie hadn’t realized that Maud was so observant, Maud was there to hold her when things got rough, not to examine every little detail of her life. It surprised Trixie that Maud would actually pay attention to all these small details. Trixie felt that her actions should not have to be examined. Trixie loved her observant pony though, if only Trixie could change Maud’s attention to something a little more personal… “I was talking to somepony who saved my life,” Trixie said as she wiggled next to Maud. She wanted Maud’s touch so badly. Maud slid her hoof down a little lower, now resting it over Trixie’s belly button. Trixie wanted it to move a little more. Maud then asked, “do you still love me?” Trixie nuzzled into Maud’s neck before whispering, “Yes I do.” Maud slid her hoof down right next to Trixie’s sensitive spot. Trixie stifled a moan and then Maud stopped moving. Trixie looked up at Maud with pleading eyes for her to continue when Maud said, “Trixie, I know you love me. But I also know that you have been lying to me.” Fear stole away Trixie’s heart, and her eyes widened. How could Maud have possibly known, about any of this. Maud looked Trixie dead center in the eyes, Maud’s eyes seamed to almost pierce Trixie’s soul. “I know that something bad happened that night, something involving Scath. I also know that you are not well. You can’t hide these things from me.” Trixie shrank back as far as she could against the small tubs interior wall. She had been caught, and Maud didn’t seem happy about his. Trixie could feel how upset Maud was. Trixie could only hope that Maud wasn’t angry with her and would understand that she did it to protect her loving earth pony. “Trixie…Lulu. I’m not mad at you. But lying to me…” Maud said quietly. Trixie looked up at Maud and said in a fragile voice, “I-I-I didn’t lie. You just asked me the wrong questions. I…” Trixie’s mind began working into overdrive to find an escape from this. “You asked how I was feeling, and right now I feel fine. You asked who Scath was, and she really is a nightmare…one that I wish didn’t exist. And you asked me what I had been doing, I was with Twilight and Zecora. They both saved my life. So you see I didn’t lie to you, I was just confused by your questions.” Trixie pouted her lips in an attempt to make herself appear to be upset with the accusation. She stayed that way looking up at Maud for a few seconds before Maud finally said, “you’re right. I should have been more detailed with my questions…but now you seem to know what I wanted to ask right?” Trixie looked away and said, “yeah…I do. And it was ‘probably’ wrong of me to not answer them properly. I…it’s just that these things scare me, and I didn’t want to think about them.” Maud pulled Trixie back next to her and said, “so you admit lying to me?” “Trixie didn’t lie to you. She only…I only misunderstood your questions…on purpose,” Trixie answered shamefully. Maud let out a sigh and said, “I’m glad you told me the truth, about that. I have been worried about you Lulu. But you hurt my feelings. How are you going to make up for that?” “I’ll tell you the truth. I swear,” Trixie said. Maud was quiet for a moment before explaining, “but you hurt me more than that. How are you going to make me not hurt anymore?” Trixie quickly spoke saying, “punish Trixie, please. But don’t be hurt, you can take it all out on us, Maud. We promise Trixie won’t complain so long as you are okay.” Maud looked at Trixie and a wicked grin grew on her face as she said, “you know it was that mouth of yours that hurt me. Maybe it can also make me feel better, make me feel good? But I don’t know how you could do that with nothing but a hot tongue.” Trixie’s face began warming up intensely from what Maud was implying. Usually Maud was very direct, but right now she was hinting at what Trixie would need to do to for forgiveness. Trixie’s face warmed up even more as she said, “I…okay. I can do that, I mean…it’s not like we haven’t done that before…right.” Maud looked at Trixie and in a way that felt very familiar to her; Maud cocked her head to the side and said, “I don’t understand. You will need to be more direct with me.” That was it, Maud was teasing Trixie in the worst way. Maud was forcing Trixie to say embarrassing things as punishment. Hopefully Maud wouldn’t make this any worse. Trixie closed her eyes and said, “…I’ll…I’ll use my mouth…and…um…” Maud put a hoof to Trixie’s lips stopping her from speaking. Trixie looked up with pleading eyes, she felt too embarrassed to say what Maud wanted her too. Maud then said in her monotone voice, “I will be nice and give you a choice. You can either say the words, or I can borrow some of Pinkie Pie’s toys to use on you. She has a gag to stop that lying mouth of yours if need be.” “G-g-g-gag?” Trixie asked in a fearful tone. “A ball gag to be exact. If that’s what you prefer,” Maud explained. Gags and bondage were the only images Trixie could see in her mind now. And she really disliked imaging them. Trixie closed her eyes shut hard and said, “I’ll give you mouth sex.” Maud patted Trixie on the head and said in a soft tone, “that’s a good pony. But it’s actually called oral sex. I have a book that you could read on the sub-“ “No, no more talking about things like that. I’ll just do whatever okay, “Trixie said quickly trying to prevent Maud from embarrassing her more. She didn’t know exactly how far Maud would take things, but she knew that Maud had no shame when it came to talking about this subject. Maud was a pervert and there was only one way to appease her. Trixie began moving her head and body awkwardly in the tub, attempting to get a good position without hurting herself. Trixie finally got her head comfortably down near Maud’s flanks and it didn’t take a psychic pony to know that Maud was excited. Trixie began finding herself very excited as well. Usually Maud was the one doing things to her, but now she was returning the favor. It was a new experience and despite being very embarrassing she now wanted nothing more than to make Maud happy. Trixie was about to start when the bathroom door suddenly swung open and Pinkie Pie bounced in. Pinkie Pie didn’t seem to react to the awkward Position that Trixie was in, and instead only smiled at the two ponies. Trixie quickly found herself trying to get back into a more normal looking position before Pinkie Pie asked any questions. Pinkie Pie grinned at them and said, “did you two wash up real good? Because I’m making, “Pinkie Pie then sung the last word, “breakfast.” Pinkie Pie then turned and walked towards the door but didn’t leave. She looked back at them and added, “and it would break my heart if you two weren’t there to enjoy it with me.” Pinkie Pie stayed until Trixie and Maud crawled out of the bathtub, then Pinkie decided to leave. Trixie began feeling immensely less embarrassed after drying off. But she was also now upset with Pinkie Pie, she would talk to her about personal space, but she remembered all the shameful things that she had done on Pinkie Pie’s bed. At this point it would probably be best to simply burn the sheets, washing them might be out of the question. Or at least that’s how Trixie felt about it. Just after drying off with a towel Trixie was about to leave the bathroom when Maud asked, “did you take your meds today?” Trixie stood still for a second trying to remember if she had. Between the scars, and being caught lying to Maud, and then being punished by Maud, Trixie couldn’t really remember. All she could really think about at the moment was how Maud was going to punish her again later, and Trixie would be dead from embarrassment if Maud even showed her what one of those gags looked like. After a few seconds of thinking about what Maud might do to her, Trixie simply couldn’t think straight. Her stomach was also telling her that she needed food. She could deal with her meds afterwards. Trixie let out a sigh and said, “I think so, let’s go eat breakfast.”
