>The mid afternoon sun slinks through a gap in the curtains

>A rude sliver of light falls across your face, rousing you from your slumber

>You lay still, reveling in the hedonistic embrace of the bed that cradles you

>It's a damn fine bed.

>But it's other occupant is much finer

>Lazily, you feel about beneath the covers, looking for your partner

>After a moment's blind groping, you find your mark in the incredibly warm and downy fur of your lover.

>That feels like a back, and... yep, that's an ass.

>You her firm rump a gentle squeeze and pull her to you, closing the distance between your bodies.

 

"Mmm... good afternoon love..." she murmurs huskily, her voice muddled by sleep.

 

>The covers shift as she drapes a wing over your side

>She leans in and presses those irresistible lips of hers against yours in a heavenly kiss

>What a perfect way to wake up

>You move your hand from her rump, bringing your palm to rest on her cheek

>Ever so lightly, your thumb grazes over her delicate cheekbone.

 

"Sleep well?" You mumble, opening your eyes and languidly stretching out in her embrace

 

>She nuzzles against your neck and gives you an affectionate lick

 

"Of course. Our position lends itself quite well to matters concerning slumber."

 

>You chuckle airily, feeling more perceptive as time wears on

 

"Right, right, Princess of Darkness and all that." you say.

 

>The two of you lie quietly for a moment, enjoying the companionable silence of your "morning"

>Taking her wing away from you, Luna rolls onto her back and arches her body up against the bedspread.

>She groans happily as her back pops and gracefully collapses into a pile of limbs and tangled sheets

>You whine petulantly as she hauls herself out of bed, leaving you behind in its snuggly embrace

>Luna flicks her tail at you playfully and laughs throatily

 

"How do you intend to join me in the bath if you remain in the bed my dear?"

 

>You shoot out of bed after her

>What can you say, she knows how to motivate you.

>Freshly bathed and ready for the evening, you casually make your way down to the main dining hall with Luna at your side.

>The walk is a long one, as Luna's quarters are quite isolated from the rest of the palace.

>After her banishment, western wing of the Canterlot Castle had slowly been abandoned by those who had once worked and lived with the Princess of the Night.

>Now, a thousand years later, the myriad of state rooms, offices, guest rooms, and servants quarters stood empty

>Empty of course, with the exception of Tea Time, Luna's personal servant, and her two bodyguards, Night Watch and Midnight Blossom.

>Much to Luna's chagrin, the two bat ponies had all but demanded they be allowed to bunk one door down from Luna's rooms.

>Really, you thought it was good for her to have some pony or another nearby  

>From what Celestia has told you, seclusion wasn't exactly kind to Luna in the past

>You give the mare beside you a sidelong glance

>Her mane, still damp from the shower, hangs lower than usual.

>It does a lovely job of framing her slender face.

>Wearing a light smile she hums softly to herself as the two of you walk

>She looks happy
