>You were glad you found this ball under your bed.

>It helped pass the time between customers.

>The lunch rush had subsided and ushered in the late day slump.

>The only sound in the spa was the light music playing and the general "thump" your ball was making against the wall.

>Somep0ny opened your door just as you caught the ball.

>It was Lotus. "They can probably hear that racket you're making all the way in Canterlot."

>You get up off the floor and put the ball in your bag.

>"Then they should make more noise and cover me up. What's up?"

>Lotus points behind her. She looks irritated. "We have a customer who just came in asking deluxe treatment."

>Oh hell.

>The Deluxe took a few hours.

>It also usually involved a double massage.

>"So, I guess my number's up?"

>Lotus gets a smirk. "The downside of dating your employer is that you are the first name they call when they need help, let's go."

>Lotus leads you through the spa into one of the bigger rooms in the back.

>Inside was a beige colored earth pony with a blue mane.

>"Mous, this is Pearl Necklace. Wife of Ponyville's Filthy Rich." Lotus said.

>Never heard of him.

>You can guess what his deal is just from the name though.

>"Hello Ma'am, I'll be your second masseur today."

>She gives you a once over. "They say your massages are to die for."

>Word spreads.

>"I like to think I know what I'm doing. Why don't you lay down on the bed and we'll get started?"

>She hops up on the bed. "I-I must admit, I've never had a massage before..."

>Lotus is quick to soothe. "Relax, we know what we're doing, we will take care of everything."

 

>Pearl Necklace paid her bill and left a generous tip on her way out.

>She should have, she kept you here an hour after closing.

>You and Lotus exit the spa rubbing your faces.

>This was not how either of you wanted to spend your Friday.

>The streetlamps flickered on as you stepped out.

>It was early spring, Winter Wrap Up was right around the corner.

>"Uhg. How a pony with as leisurely a life as her can have so many sore spots to complain about, I'll never know."

>Got that right...

>"You wanna get dinner?"

>Lotus looks up at you disbelieving. "Don't I normally have to drag you out just to get lunch?"

>You shrug.

>"I have been worn down today by the constant dribble coming out of that mares mouth. You game?"

>Lotus looks towards the center of town. "Diner?"

>You jerk your head to the side and start walking, Lotus close behind you.

>You both slump in your seats at the diner, the day's work catching up to you.

>Lotus is staring off into space with a grin on her face.

>You try to follow her gaze only for her to catch you and have her grin grow wider.

>"What?"

>She points a hoof past you near the edge of the patio. "That's where all this started."

>Oh yeah. She kissed you there.

>"I thought all this started when I pulled myself through your window?"

>She traces a hoof around her wineglass but still stares out. "Yeah, but you wouldn't have come to my house if it didn't start here."

>She turns to look at you. "How did you get to my window anyway?"

>"Jumped off a tree branch."

 

>The two of you find yourselves taking a late night walk after dinner.

>Lotus is silently resting on your back.

>She saw Rainbow hugging Anon around the neck one day and asked you about it.

>The obvious solution was piggy back rides.

>It worked out, she was pretty light.

>This was nice, Lotus just resting on your back, the silence of the road.

Heeeeey maaaaaan.

>God dammit Brain.

>You do this shit on purpose.

Let's rap, man.

>What?

Let's chat.

>About?

The mare on your back.

>Didn't we already have this discussion?

This is a new discussion.

>Joy.

Did you notice how many she put away at dinner?

>We put away quite a bit ourselves.

No, not that.

>Then what?

Look at how relaxed she is.

>So?

So? She trusts you.

>She just doesn't want to walk, Brain

No, this is trust. Trust me.

>I'm pretty sure she trusted us before.

Enough to get tipsy and let you carry her? Not likely.

>So, what's your point?

I just think it's a bit strange for a guy to have claimed to be taking it slow only to now be taking his special somep0ny to his house.

>Wait, wh-

>"Oof!"

>You rub your face.

>You have run into your own door.

 

>"Dammit."

>You felt movement on your back.

>"Huh? Where are we?" you heard Lotus say.

>Shit.

>You look like a scumbag.

>"Uh...I ran into my house."

>She settles her head on your shoulder. "Cute."

>You think you see a smile.

>"Can I come in?" she asks.

>Whoa.

Wait.

>What?

>"Huh?"

>She gives you a peck on the cheek. "Has anyp0ny ever told you told you that you're cute when you're flustered? I never saw too much of your home when I was last here, care to give me the tour?"

>The last time she was here was during estrus.

>You can see how that would make paying attention hard.

>"Uhh...sure."

 

>You let Lotus down and open the door.

>You lead her through the house as you throw your bag on the couch.

>She passes right by the bathroom she was locked in.

>Guess she saw enough of that.

Should we be okay with this?

>Hey, if she trusts us, we should trust her.

>You come in on her in your room, she's looking at the models on display. "Quite the collection you have here, isn't it?"

>You sit down at eye level in the middle of the room.

>"It's a hobby."

>She takes a few steps towards you until she is inches away from your face.

>"Is it weird?"

>Lotus starts to nuzzle your face with hers. "Hmmmm...Maybe I like weird?"

>You run your fingers through her hair.

>"That's weird."

>Lotus doesn't respond.

>It seems she's kissing your neck.

>Uhhh...

>Gents?

Uhhhhh...

>Thanks Brain.

Uuuhhhhh...

>Et tu Jimmies?

Roll with it.

>Heart?

Do it.

>Uhhh.

>You keep running your hand through Lotus's hair.

>That damn headband was in the way, get rid of it.

>She eventually leads up your neck and reaches your lips.

>Okay, wow, that's her tongue.

>She presses up against you and pushes you back.

>Way back.

>Lotus, I'm gonna fal-Ooof!

>Okay, she's on top of you now.

We should tell her.

>Lotus breaks the kiss and goes back to your neck.

>Her hoof reaches between yo-HELLO.

WE REALLY NEED TO TELL HER.

>"L-lotus..."

>Lotus works her way back up to your lips again.

>You try to get it out between breaths.

>"Lotus.."

>She breaks the kiss and looks at you with those big blue eyes of hers

>"Lotus, I-I never..."

>She starts stroking your hair and goes down to your ear. "Ssssshhh. Relax, I know what I'm doing... I'll take care of everything..."

>Morning.

>You didn't mind that it was morning.

>You had been up a while.

>You slept on the floor that night, the bed was too small for the two of you.

>Not that space was an issue. Lotus seemed content to sleep on your chest.

>You didn't mind either, the carpet/blanket combo felt good on your skin.

>Lotus stirred on your chest.

>"Morning, pretty pony."

>She rubbed her eyes. "Mmm...good morning."

>She plants a kiss on you and lays back down.

>Silence falls.

We gonna talk about this?

>What do?

Make a joke?

>"So, was it good for you too?"

>Laughter

>Score one for you.

>"Why is it that that's the first question guys always ask?" she says.

>You rub the nape of her neck.

>"Well, we passed out pretty quick last night. And I'd say I have a bit more reason to want a review.

>Lotus giggles again and rolls off your chest onto the floor.

>She scoots up to your head. "Yes. Despite your general lack of experience, you are a proficient lover."

>+10 ego.

>"But, I've had better." she teases.

>You roll your eyes and clutch your chest.

>"Oh, how will I ever recover from such a horrible blow to my manhood?"

>That elicits a giggle as Lotus wraps herself in your arm. "I will admit though..."

>She looks around. "It was a new experience, making love with so many...tiny eyes watching."

>That got a chuckle from you.

>"Don't go pretending you don't enjoy an audience."

>You both laugh.

>"Hey...do we work today?"

>Lotus presses herself up against you and looks you in the eye. "I think I'm due for a personal day..."

>Lotus starts the same process as last night, working her way up your neck, as you pull the blanket over the two of you.
