Chapter 12: Heat wave

A couple days pass and morning comes once more. Silk flings the covers of her bed off herself, feeling much too warm. She rolls over in her usual sleeping attire, trying to go back to sleep. Unfortunately, nature has other ideas as it spurs her awake, all of her senses seeming heightened. The sheets feel too soft, the house feels too quiet, the smell… Silk’s eyes open, her nostrils flaring a bit. It’s barely there, but she smells the male of the house.

At the rush of images that follow this revelation, Silk’s mind finally catches up. “Yep… full force heat.” Reaching for her nightstand, she gropes around until she finds one of the purple bottles there. Chugging it, she tosses it into the wastebasket before her eyes glint as she stalks out of her room, nature giving her thoughts tunnel vision.

As she goes down the stairs, Winter walks out of the kitchen, a half-eaten apple in his hand and casual attire on his body. He glances up at her and smiles. “Morning, sweets.”

With a small growl, she zips over to him. Instantly, she embraces him, taking a deep whiff of him before breathing out. “Good morning, stud…” Her fingers are restless as they run through his coat.

He yelps, but chuckles as he hugs back. “Well, you’re in an affectionate mood this morning… had a good dream, I take it?”

“Not quite… you’re free to correct that though.” Her fangs come out as she nibbles his neck, her tail thrashing as she squeezes him.

The unicorn blinks, blushing and squirming a bit. “...Silk? Is everything alright?”

The familiar itch starts to burn as she looks up at him. Her lips touch his as she smiles. “Have you got your fluids this morning?”

“Um… I drank some milk if that’s what you mean...” He starts looking a little uncomfortable. “...what’s going on, Silk?”

She giggles, nuzzling him. “Mother Nature is having her way with me… I want you to do the same.”

It finally seems to click in his head, and he looks even more nervous almost instantly. “Y-You’re… in heat, aren’t you…?”

“Mmhmm…” She nods, her eyes still on his as she licks her lips. “And you said you’d help me… right?”

He winces. “Yeah… I said I’d help you get through it… I didn’t think that necessarily meant I had to… you know...” He trails off.

She blinks, staring at him. “You… don’t know the only way to get rid of a mare’s heat?”

“No, I know...” He sighs. “Honestly, when you asked me to help you through it, I thought you were just asking for me to… you know, just be there for you. I didn’t think you’d want to start having sex this early on.” A hollow chuckle escapes his mouth. “Then again, given the time of year, I guess it makes sense...”

Fighting down her instincts, Silk speaks softly. “Winter… during this time, if a mare is in the room with her significant other, especially is he’s male, the temptation is enormous. My body is screaming for me to be bred by you. If you aren’t comfortable with this, I can wait, but you will have to keep your distance from me until I can take the edge off.”

He pauses a moment, thinking. “...on one hand, it seems too early… but on the other, this isn’t exactly you suggesting it in a completely stable frame of mind.” The unicorn sighs before nuzzling her. “You won’t get pregnant, right? We can take measures to prevent that?”

“I’ve taken a potion… no foals right now.” Her arms curl around his neck. “We don’t have to jump straight in if you don’t want to… the urge isn’t quite at full strength itch yet. Perhaps… a little of that foreplay we both enjoy?”

Winter slowly smiles. “...alright, you’ve roped me in.” His face becomes serious once again. “But just to get you through heat. It’s not becoming a regular thing until we both agree to it when we’re feeling normal.”

She nods happily, giving him a quick deep kiss. “Okay, let me go get ready. Grab some water or something so we don’t dehydrate, then meet me on your bed…” She gives him another growl before she skips off up the stairs.

He just sighs, rubbing his temple. “Never would’ve thought my first time would start off this way...” Trying to ignore the nagging doubt and nervousness in the back of his mind, he tosses the remains of his apple in the trash and sets about getting water.

A few minutes later, he opens the door to his room to see all but the base sheet on his bed plus his pillows tossed off. Silk lies on the bed in the same outfit she had shown Asylum: knee-high socks, elbow-length gloves, bra, panties, and her mane tied back in a ponytail with matching ribbon.

Her legs squirm against each other a bit as she sees him. “Welcome.”

His face goes a bright red as a tightness in his pants already comes to view. “...well… okay, this is new...” Slowly, almost as if on autopilot, he walks over to the bed, feeling a little overdressed just by wearing actual clothes. “So, um… how do we start this, exactly?”

She smoothly slides off the bed and onto her hooves, walking over and putting her palms on his chest. “I assume we kiss… I strip you, you strip however much you want off me… we kiss more, lick, grab, roll around, then… we rut.” She frowns a bit. “That word doesn’t really do this justice… it’s not emotionless like it suggests.”

“I imagine not.” He chuckles nervously, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek. “I guess let’s start, then… does it have to be in the order you described?”

“Just a suggestion, dear… we have all week to experiment with all sorts of things.” Her hands hold his as she pulls him closer to the bed.

He goes along, turning and lying down on the bed first. “Uh… by ‘all week’, you mean this needs to happen just once a day, right?”

Laughing quietly, she smiles almost predatorily at him. “Hun… if I’m not actively dripping your seed from my flower, then I’ll need to be or I won’t be in my right mind. I’ll need a lot of refilling.” Her hand cups his cheek as she gives him another quick kiss.

“...so, this is gonna be twenty-four/seven,” he deadpans. “You know I have school and work, right?” As he says this, he reaches around to squeeze her rump.

She lets out a coo, her hands gripping his shirt. “It’s not quite that bad, but I will need you every few hours at least. When you aren’t here… I’ll make do, but be prepared when you get back home. I might be… needy.”

He nods, giving her another squeeze. “I’ll keep that in mind… this is gonna be a draining week for me, I can tell. Literally.” He smirks a bit.

Her hands move down and start to lift his shirt up. “And a filling week for me… let’s get started.”

Winter lifts his arms to allow her to lift the shirt off easier. “Just as long as I get some time to reload between each round, it’ll go just fine.”

“Multiple rounds in a session will give you more time in between.” She slides the shirt off, leaning forward, rubbing herself on and nuzzling his chest. “No wonder I’ve been putting more blue in my designs lately…”

“Glad to know I inspired you.” He nuzzles her, leaning in and licking her neck after a moment.

Shivering, she lets out a gasp. “Oh yes…” Her hands work frantically until his pants slide off and are flung to the ground. “Hmm… want me to do the last bit too? Or do you want to start unwrapping me? You’re free to keep as much on me as you want.”

“Yeah, but some parts are gonna have to come off sooner or later.” He sticks a thumb under her waistband. “Just let me know when you can’t hold back anymore, and we’ll finish unwrapping each other… until then...” He pulls her into a deep kiss on the lips.

In another household, the local enchanter looks up as he hears a knock at his door. Curious, he sets his current project to the side, something involving an alarm clock. Throwing on a sleeveless shirt, he opens the door.

He is immediately glomped by a familiar yet frantic pegasus, dressed in the loosest and least covering clothes she could legally wear outside of her home. “Rhino! I. Need. You!

Falling to the floor from shock and force, the stallion blinks while the door shuts. “Asylum? What the hay?”

She stares down at him, currently keeping him somewhat pinned down. Her face is red and she’s breathing fast. “I’m in heat… and I need you… now.

“Oh…” Somehow he has failed to make the connection of heat week on his current relationship before now. Nervously, he swallows. “Well… I’m here,” he says rather plainly, wrapping his arms around her.

She shakes her head rapidly. “I mean I need you… in me...”

“But… we haven’t gotten nearly that far yet… and you could, or actually probably will, get pregnant…” he points out, despite certain other parts of him voicing their own opinions.

Leaning down, she plants a kiss on his cheek. “Silk told me of some potions that get rid of that little problem… I drank one before coming over, just in case...”

Feeling his tension ease ever so slightly, he still voices his other concern. “But… I wouldn’t want you to regret this once you aren’t heat crazy…”

“I know...” She kisses his other cheek now. “Don’t worry… believe me, this is something I want… it may be a little early, but considering the heat, there isn’t much we can really do about that… either we indulge now, or I’ll be stir-crazy all week.”

“Well… I don’t want you to suffer…” He sighs, leaning up and nuzzling her as a smile grows, though still tinged with nerves. “So then… how did you want to…?”

She smiles and nuzzles back. “Just… like we otherwise would… I can probably restrain myself for a little bit until we get to that part… oh, and preferably not on the floor like this.”

“Okay.” He lips meet hers as gently as possible. “My bed, then?”

She stands up quickly at that and nods. “Yes please.”

Getting up, himself, he makes sure the door is locked before taking her hand and leading her to his room. “I umm… don’t really have experience, as you know, so I apologize for that.”

“It’s fine… I don’t either.” She nuzzles him again along the way.

He nuzzles back, feeling a little more at ease. Still, when they actually reach his room, he stands awkwardly next to the bed, looking at her. “Do you want to be on top, or lay next to each other, or anything else?”

“Bottom… I want you on top.” She kisses him on the neck before starting to nibble.

He shivers, drawing her in for a tight hug as his hands roam her back. “If you’re sure… just let me know if I ever need to stop, okay?”

“Mm-hmm… same to you.” She giggles before starting to lie down.

Swallowing a final time, he looks at her, laying on her stomach before him on his bed. Leaning down, he gives her a brief but deep kiss as she turns to face him before rubbing her shoulders. She responds with a pleased hum, squirming a bit underneath him. Moving to her neck, he kisses and nibbles just as she had been, his hands playing with the edge of her top.

She giggles. “Enjoying the feel?”

He nods. “It’s almost as soft as you… though I’m jealous others may have seen you in this.” He kisses her once more before rolling up the bottom of her shirt, exposing the small of her back.

Smiling, she nuzzles against him. “Usually I only wear this outfit around the house… this was the first time I went outside in it, because I couldn’t stand anything hot or tight...”

“That bad?” He rubs her bare back, working the shirt around her wings, rubbing them too as they are exposed.

“Y-Yes… ooh...” She hums from the rubbing. “I-It was like… being in a sauna, even when naked…”

Something in his lower half stirs at that as he rolls the shirt up to her neck and finally off her body. "You... hang out naked, often?"

"Sometimes... usually not too much, in case anypony shows up unexpected, but... a fair amount around the house..." She watches her shirt drop, light pink bra exposed.

"I still think you look beautiful, even in this casual outfit." He kisses the back of her neck, leaning over her, feeling a slight caress from her wings.

She giggles. "Thank you, handsome... you don't look bad yourself..." She uses her wings to rub his sides and back.

The sensation of being surrounded by feathers makes him chuckle. "I'm afraid you caught me in my 'around the house' outfit, too. Had to throw something on when I heard knocking."

"Well, I wouldn't complain if you wore it more often... or less, if you get what I mean..." Her eyes go half-lidded.

"Oh..." He stands back up. "Something like this?" He slips his shirt off.

She giggles. "Ooh... now that's more like it..."

"It does make us even." He leans down once more, one arm slipping over her while the other goes under, bringing her into a long kiss.

She happily kisses back, slipping her tongue into his mouth, her only response being a long hum.

He pulls her tighter to him, turning her on her side as their chests press together. His tongue dances with hers as he hums back.
