> A night in the garden > by Lux Tenebris > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A night in the garden > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Late. Late, late, late, late. She was very late. The wind pushed against her like a wall as she darted over the lantern-lit streets of Canterlot. Her dress wildly waved back and forth in the wind and her hair struck her back like a whip. She couldn’t help that the clock had decided to move faster while she got ready! It was the clockmaker’s fault, he had set her up! She snapped her beak in annoyance but her sour mood quickly evaporated as she spotted a hint of green down below. She circled around for a second to make sure she had the right place before she then dove headfirst into the canopy. Silverstream landed onto the soft dirt with a ‘thump’ and she ran her claws through her hair to straighten it out. She panted for a second and then fist-pumped.  “Made it!” “Yeah, if you mean being thirty minutes late, you dingus.” She looked up at her lover with a wide smile. “Hey, that's not so bad! You get to enjoy the garden for a bit longer!” Gallus raised an unimpressed brow at the hippogriff before he gave her a grin. “Yeah, you’re right.” The griffon was dressed in the golden armor of the Canterlot royal guard. The gear had been altered slightly to fit his slimmer frame and the design of the armor was now less focused on aesthetics than practicality. For one it was no longer made from actual gold, which had been one of the many changes that had been made to the guards. The rest of Gallus’ gear, his helmet, spear, and shield, leaned against a tree behind him. Silverstream looked him over and pouted. Not that he did not look good, if she wanted to be honest she found him more masculine in armor than without. Yet… “You said you were gonna wear a suit, Gallus. I really really wanted to see you in the new one!” she pouted.  The griffon scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. “Yeah, I couldn’t leave earlier. The captain ordered me to stay for two more hours, so no shower or nice suit… Sorry, Silverstream…” “Well I guess it doesn’t matter, I really like your armor too! But next time you will dress in a suit!” “Sure, and I’ll just go against the captain’s orders if he tells me to stay, right? I'll parade around that girls are more important than oaths,” Gallus said and rolled his eyes.  “Precisely! Oh, I can’t wait! Oh oh, next time we must invite the others! We can book a place at that fancy restaurant with the blue roof—” “The one where the entry fee alone is fifty bits?...” “—And we can get that really juicy steak you saw in the newspaper!” Silverstream said with an excited giggle.  “...That is not a bad idea,” Gallus admitted,  The two had decided to meet in the garden of a wealthy aristocrat who was currently out of town. They had of course asked permission from the lady of the house, who had gladly given them the garden to be alone. After all, they were heroes. Which of course meant that the two could trust the fine lady’s words that she would keep their meeting a secret. And in case her word was not enough then Gallus had thrown in a nice bag of bits as a precaution.   “So how did it go?” Gallus asked and walked over to Silverstream.  “Oh, it went great! They thought I could fly fast enough to join the pre-trials! Oh, I am so excited!” Silverstream said and jumped into Gallus’ embrace to hug him tight. The griffon rolled his eyes with a chuckle and squeezed her close. “Save some energy for the wonderbolts, jeez.” The hippogriff fluttered her eyes at him and gave him an impish smile. “But I wanted to save all my energy for you~” Gallus grinned down at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. “After we have eaten, we can’t ruin just the blanket this early into the evening can we?” “What food did you bring? Ohh is it something new? I love it when you bring new food!” Silverstream said.  Gallus let go of the hippogriff and walked over the red-checkered blanket that he had laid out in the middle of the small clearing. He had brought with him two baskets, one with a bottle of wine and two glasses, and one with a white cloth over it. Silverstream followed him to the blanket and looked at the wine with wide eyes and an excited smile.  “I have never had camping wine before!” “It says ‘Campaign’, not camping,” Gallus said with a snort and picked up the bottle, “I think it is a region in Prance or something.” “And what’s in the other one?” Silverstream hurried over to grab the basket, yet Gallus pulled it away with a smile.  “Allow me, madame.” Gallus grabbed hold of the cloth that covered the basket with a dramatic flourish. Silverstream leaned in to get a better view and her beak hung open and her claws gripped the side of her face in excitement. Then Gallus pulled away the cloth to reveal four thin wooden sticks. Each had a sharp end and on these sticks were thick pieces of meat. Red juices flowed from the meat and their heat created steam in the cool evening air. Silverstream gasped at the sight before she picked one up.  “I love it! Though, what is it?” she asked and sniffed the meat.  The slices of meat each had an aroma of various spices and peppers which made her mouth salivate. One smelled like curry, another chili. The further down the pieces were placed the stronger the spices were. So if one were to eat the pieces in order then the first piece would start out mild and each piece afterward would get spicier and spicier.  “The man said they were called Seraks? It is apparently common in the south, and it's some of the best meat I have ever tasted,” Gallus replied with a smile and poured them two glasses of deep red wine, “and it goes perfect with this wine.” Silverstream giggled as he handed her the glass with a coy grin. She sipped on the red liquid and smacked her beak before a shudder ran down her spine. “That is very dry.” “Which is why it goes perfectly with the meat! Try both at the same time!” Gallus said.    Silverstream nodded and took a bite from the meat and then sipped on the wine. She closed her eyes and moaned as the two mixed together to create a rainbow of dry and spicy which brought out the better qualities of both products. She shook and looked at Gallus with a wide grin. “It is great!” “Told you so!” he said and took a bite from the meat himself and down some of the wine. As they ate and drank the moon moved higher and higher up into the sky. The two spoke about their week, what they had seen and done, how the weather had been terrible for most of the month, and that the city seemed cleaner than ever before. Though eventually, the topics drifted more and more towards their friends and the palpable excitement in the air. “They wouldn’t be angry or anything, you know? That we didn’t tell them? They would be happy for us,” Silverstream said and snuggled close to her lover.  Gallus stroked her hair and looked up at the stars. “You’re probably right, but I can’t help it. I just don’t… I think we should wait a little longer until we both know that we’re serious.” She looked up at him with a coy smile and ran her claws over his abdomen before she gripped his member. “I thought that night we shared together last week was enough.” Gallus closed his eyes and groaned in pleasure. He looked down at the hippogriff with a toothy grin. “Maybe I need a bit more convincing...” “Do you now?~” Silverstream purred and pushed him onto his back.  She undid all the buckles and belt on his armor and slid it off slowly. Gallus gasped as she pressed herself against his engorged member while she slid off his breastplate. She just giggled at the sounds he made and kissed his neck. The griffon groaned as she pressed her abdomen against his hardness and the silky material of her dress wrapped around him like ethereal claws. Silverstream just hummed and got rid of his shoulder pads as he thrust against her with a grunt.  “Not yet~” she purred into his ear.  The hippogriff slid down his body until her face was next to his cock. She gave its bulbous base a lick and giggled as he thrust into the air as a result. Silverstream rubbed the side of her face along his length all the while she kept eye contact with him. Gallus could only look on and moan as she poked his head with her beak. She giggled as he pulsed and throbbed against her mouth but she gave him a cruel smile and kissed her way down to his base where she lightly teased his sack.  “Silver...” Gallus groaned and bucked his hips.  The hippogriff sucked each ball into her mouth and kept her eye contact with him. “Awww, am I being a tease?~” Gallus just nodded desperately and gritted his teeth. “Please...” Silverstream just shook her head and sucked on his balls as one of her claws lightly stroked him. “No, I think I want to play a bit more~ If I am not careful your little friend down here might spray all that white goo before I can even enjoy myself~” The hippogriff gripped his member tighter and gave him deeper strokes as she kissed and lightly sucked on his head. Gallus threw his head back and grunted as she suddenly sped up her strokes and took his head into her mouth. She gave him an innocent look as she sucked on his head to the point her cheeks deflated. Gallus shook and moaned. The griffon tried to grab hold of her head to push her down his length, but as he tried she pulled off his member and stopped stroking, to which he groaned in frustration.  “Remember I am supposed to convince you~” she purred.  Gallus reluctantly pulled away his claws and Silverstream winked at him before she opened her mouth and swallowed his member. Gallus gasped and moaned while Silverstream coughed and bobbed her head along with his member before she pulled off to get air. She took a few deep breaths before she took him into her mouth once more. She lightly bobbed up and down his member and closed her eyes. Gallus twisted and groaned under her ministrations and he bucked into her mouth. Silverstream coughed as his member slid down her throat, but she soon embraced it and continued until she met the base of his length. She squeezed his balls with her claws before she slowly pulled away for some much-needed breath.  “Give me the condom,” she panted. Gallus quickly reached over to his armor and grabbed a condom from a hidden pocket. Silverstream snatched it out of his claws with a grin and opened it. She slowly slid it down his length until the rubber completely covered his member. She then pulled her dress over her head and turned around. She rested her torso against the blanket, but she kept her flank in the air. She flicked her tail to the side and exposed her griffonhood which winked and glistened. Gallus looked on with his jaw wide open and he swallowed thickly.  “What are you waiting for?~” Silverstream said and looked behind her into his eyes.  Gallus did not need any more convincing and got to his feet. He scrambled to his lover and he lined up his member with her wet slit. Silverstream looked at him with a loving smile which only made him throb harder and he pushed into her with a groan. Silverstream moaned as he entered her and she panted.  “Gallus~” she moaned and pushed back against him.  “Silver~” he grunted in response and pushed his base against her slit.  The clearing filled with wet smacks and moans as Gallus thrust faster and faster into the hippogriff. Silverstream buried her face into the blanket to not scream and she met her lover’s thrusts. Each time Gallus buried himself inside the hippogriff her flank rippled and he squeezed it with a grunt as his thrusts became more and more animalistic. Silverstream could just shake and moan as Gallus pushed down her face into the blanket and pounded into her with more and more labored breaths.  “I’m cumming!” he suddenly moaned.  That was all it took for Silverstream. Her hindlegs shook and she arched her back as she came alongside her lover. Her insides squeezed and milked Gallus’ member for all it was worth and her juices poured down her legs. Gallus could only grunt and he filled the condom with rope after rope of baby batter. Gallus collapsed on top of Silverstream and they both panted as they came down from their orgasmic high. They laid down next to each other with Gallus still inside Silverstream and they shared a passionate kiss.  Gallus eventually pulled out and slipped off the condom, which Silverstream snatched from his claws. He looked on with wide eyes as she poured the content of the condom into her mouth and swallowed. His member twitched at the sight. She saw his expression and grinned.  “Convinced now?~” she purred and nuzzled her face into his chest.  Gallus ran his claws through her hair and gave a shaky nod. “Y-Yeah. There is no way I am not telling them now.” Silverstream kissed him one more time before she curled up against his soft fur and fell asleep. Gallus wrapped his forelegs around her form and leaned his chin on her head. A soft smile spread over his beak as he heard Silverstream’s soft snores and he looked up at the night sky. It was definitely a serious relationship, and they had to tell their friends. But first, he wanted to spend the night next to the love of his life, and so he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep with only the stars watching.
