Beneath a Silver Sky

by David Silver


21 - Rise from Your Bed

Silver was not content to lay in bed. Sleep eluded him, and boredom clawed at him. He closed his eyes and let his thoughts wander over his body, trying to feel for what changed and how to do anything about it. He could get a vague impression that the net was crudely cut, though it was already making gentle signs of repair.

He tried to reach for it, but a headache blossomed the moment his mental fingers approached the frayed lines. He tried to push energy into the area, but the energy he gathered dumped immediately into his groin instead, leaving him quite erect and distracting his thoughts. Thoughts of making foals became more urgent than mending his hurts, and he opened his eyes, looking around and hoping at once to be alone, and to have one of his mares around. There was Shei, reading from a book.

He rolled slowly, going belly up and letting his swollen member pulse softly in view. "Shei... I need you."

Shei perked an ear before slipping a bookmark into her reading. "Do you need a drink?" She rose up and turned to him before going red. It would have been quite hard to miss what he needed help with. "I... I don't think you're in shape for that, master."

Silver grunted softly and shook his head. "Please. We don't have to do anything you don't want to do, my delicate flower. I'm just in a state of... distraction."

"That is a discreet way of talking about a very indiscreet problem." She approached and leaned in, sniffing the length. Her eyes went wide before dropping to half-lidded. "Your scent is overpowering, master."

Silver felt a rush, considering a moment dumping more energy in, but drugging Shei felt... wrong. "When I tried to control my energies, it went down there, leaving me stinking of sex and thinking of it. I'm sorry about that." His words went unheard, or at least unheeded, as soft lips wrapped around the tip of his member. Silver let out a pleasure groan even as his middle twinged with pain at his movement.

She sank down over him, taking him into her long snout as her tongue explored over the aching tool. He felt the energy rise on its own inside of him, making his balls churn with ready seed. He felt like he could breed all of Equestria, presuming the mares were willing to ride him until he was well enough to do the riding. He tried even as he was pleasured to nudge the energy upwards towards his injuries, but could barely get it to flow up towards his hips before they crashed back down into the bracelet and seeped out in a pool of power into his increasingly-energized genitals.

He let out a pained wheeze as weight came down on him. Shei had climbed up while he was distracted and was grinding his shaft between their bellies in slow and steady motions. Despite any attempt before to let her choose, her eyes looked glassy and overwhelmed, all thoughts save how to get his shaft inside of her seemingly banished. She wriggled forward until she could press back and grind the blunt head along her thick lips, then impaled herself with a cry. While the pain in his midsection flared into a white-hot agony, the pleasure of his engulfed member warred with it, making Silver writhe in pain and pleasure.

There was no stopping her. She began to bounce against him, taking his shaft into her innermost depths as she stared into his eyes with an increasingly-desperate look. She wanted his seed, and he wanted to give it to her. He tried to thrust back against her, but his battered form was not cooperating. Fortunately she had enough energy for the both of them as they crashed into one another with increasing fervor.

There was a soft knock at the door, but neither heard it. Silver felt climax wash over him and cried out as he filled Shei with thick gobs of fertile seed. As he came, the bracelet seemed to pulse and throb, somehow milking his balls and adding to the dizzying pleasure of the moment. She called out with him, their voices rising together as they savored the moment of bliss. Neither noticed that someone had entered the room.

Amenti's eyes were wide as saucers, locked on the debauched scene before her. "I... came to apologize..."

Silver came crashing down as the voice registered, but there was little he could do. Shei was still lost in a fog of lust, and had settled atop him mildly painfully, squeezing around him delightfully.

Amenti approached, sniffing the air, and Silver began to fear. His pheromones worked on cats. The assassin was proof enough of that. "You should go, Amenti. Please."

Amenti shook her head. "I have wronged you terribly, and made a mess of things. I want us to remain friends, at least. Know that I didn't mean to harm you at any time."

Silver thrust up into Shei, drawing a pleased noise from her. Knowing Amenti was there seemed to be stirring the fires within him, though he wasn't entirely certain why. "I am... quite certain you just wanted to fuck me."

Amenti frowned a little. "When you say it like that, you make it sound like rape. I wanted you to be happy, even if you laid with another, as you are now with your concubine. I... thought, being a stud, you would appreciate this gift."

Silver grunted softly. "It's... made me more inclined towards that profession, but that wasn't my real job before. I'm a researcher of magic, and still learning about being a prince."

Amenti's nose twitched, and Silver was glad Shei was draped over him from the look she was giving him. Glad and... annoyed. Some primal part of him wanted to throw Shei aside, tackle Amenti, and... "You should really go, Amenti. I don't hate you. I hope we meet again, someday, and we'll laugh about all this. For now, having Shei on me is starting to hurt severely. I should try to get some sleep."

Shei perked her ears. "Sorry." She rose from him, pulling herself free of his pole wetly and flopping aside before sliding off the bed and towards the bath.

Silver let out a little sigh of relief until he felt a furry paw land on his member. "No! No no no. No means no!"

Amenti paused, then withdrew her paw. "I will not add to my crimes. If you don't want me, I will leave."

Silver did want her. He wanted her in all the wrong ways. "You should go... It's me, not you. You didn't do... anything wrong today."

She licked him across the lips with a raspy tongue. "I will dream of you." She sighed. "I should not mention it, but today is the last day we could be."

Silver perked an ear. "What do you mean by that?"

"I will be engaged tomorrow, to help settle the land. I don't even know the cat, but the connection... I have to."

Silver grunted softly. "If... I don't know for sure, but I feel like I could knock up a rock if I put any effort into it. I would be a terrible choice for your pre-engagement fling."

Amenti rest a paw on Silver's belly, rubbing just shy of where the pain began. "You are right, of course, but to love at least once for love..."

Silver grunted, glancing over to Shei who was sunk in the tub and looked half asleep. Where was Celestia, or Aila? He strained his sensitive ears, trying to hear, but felt the tingle of his balls being fueled. Was even hearing a feat of internal magic? It must have been partially. The fresh blast of perfume made Amenti purr, looking all the less ready to leave him be. Silver wasn't sure who was pressuring who in the situation, but was determined to not make a critical mistake. He sat up slowly, eventually flopping up onto his haunches. "Amenti. You said you'd go. If you learned anything at all, go."

Amenti looked hurt a moment, but finally took a step away. "I will think of you." Then she fled into the hallway, door shutting behind her. Silver slowly gathered the blanket around himself and fell asleep sitting up.

He was awoken by the quiet entry of Celestia. Her nose wrinkled as she looked around, then approached him. "You're sitting up. Do you feel better?"

Silver shook his head. "Not really, but I had to ward off the advances of an eager pharaoh, and failed to hold myself back from Shei."

Celestia snorted softly. "Shei is yours to do with as you please, Silver Stars, provided you were a gentlecolt?" She glanced over to Shei, who confirmed his good behavior with a nod and a smile. "As for Amenti..."

Silver shook his head again. "No! No... She was fine. It was me. I'm stinking up the place with every attempt to get used to my new... what, order? Net? Whatever it is."

"I had wondered what that was," admitted Celestia. "You need a bath." Her golden magic gently lifted Silver from his shelter and carried him towards the tub.

Silver let her carry him. "I'm afraid that will come back shortly after, unless I want to give up entirely on figuring myself out."

Celestia set Silver into the tub and got the water flowing patiently. "Then stay in there for now. We leave tomorrow, and this city will not trouble us any further, for now."

Silver relaxed in the warmth. It seemed to soothe him all over. Even the internal damage felt better under the penetrating heat of the water. Feeling up to experimenting more, he tried gathering the energy specifically between his legs that time, letting it gather to a painful pressure before he even tried to move it anywhere. The pooled mass proved just a little easier to move, even if most of it slipped through his 'fingers'. He splashed it across the injured web to hurry its recovery even as his groin throbbed with excess energy.

His eyes wandered to Celestia, looking her over, admiring her cutie marks. "Celestia."

"Hmm?"

"Did you confirm if you're pregnant or not?"

"I am not."

Silver frowned at the news, but suddenly perked up. It just meant he had to try again and do it right. "Are you upset?"

Celestia smiled. "No, you'll get to that when you're ready."

Silver sniffed at the air softly. "You don't smell like you're in heat."

"I'm not," she agreed. "This time is gone, but the next will arrive, and we'll both be ready for it. Now rest. Thinking about my heat won't help you do that."

Silver grunted softly, squirming in the tub. He felt the water moving and heard a small splash. Shei had joined him in the hot water. Perhaps he could put Celestia out of his mind for a little while...

Silver moved for Shei, only for his insides to remind him that he was still recovering from multiple stabs and more. He squeaked in pain, failing to reach her. Shei closed the distance and gently embraced him, holding and petting, but nothing more intimate. For the moment, it was enough.
