> As you eat breakfast, you consider your next move > You'll want to go into town, but what will be your cover story? > You look around your shack like a peckish person peers into a fridge > Maybe you should make it bigger? > You have an inkling that guests will be more common, and you only have a chair and a bed for sitting > A couch it is > There should be enough bits from the commission to cover the cost > That decided, you finish getting ready for the day   > It still strikes you as weird that some shop signs don't actually have words on them, just images > Quill and sofa > The proprietor greets you eagerly > "Can I interest you in some quills or a sofa? You seem like a sofa kind of guy." "Good guess, I am indeed in the market for a sofa." > He grins and motions you inside > "I have sofas of all makes and models, magical and non-magical, rustic and sophisticated." > There are quite a few, almost more that you'd think could fit in the store "Magical couches?" > He jerks his head to a section of the store that you notice has a bit of a glow to it > "Mostly secondhand, but I have a good friend in Canterlot who fixes up the spellwork, your safety guaranteed." > You step carefully here, more than a little wary of magic > Davenport senses this > He pats some cushions with a grin > "I've personally sit on every once of these. Trust me, they aren't dangerous." > Then something catches your eye "Why's that one in a case? It looks like it's in surprisingly good condition, but you can definitely tell it's secondhand." > His smile turns rueful > "That's one I got from a guy named boxcar Joe. I can't bring myself to sell it, but I still like to see it around from time to time." > Alright... > At any rate, you start looking around > There are tags detailing the enchantments on the couches > Dreamless Sleep, Hangover Warding, Self-cleaning, and so on > You are reminded of your obligation to Luna > Better ease into the question "So, quills and sofas. It's an interesting combination for a shop." > At once, you can tell he gets the question fairly often > "It is, isn't it? It started a while ago, when I had a friend in Celestia's school for gifted unicorns. I happened to be visiting while his marefriend was studying with him. They looked like they were so comfortable, wrapped up in research, lying together. That was when I knew that I wanted to help more ponies reach that special state. Perhaps one day, that'll be me." > Huh "Seems like Canterlot would be a better place, if you want to supply researching ponies." > "I do have a branch up there, but I want somepony for whom research is their life, not what they have to do for a degree. Ponyville is enough of a weirdness magnet that we get more than our fair share of researchers." > Fair enough "Like Twilight?" > Davenport laughs oddly > "One of my best customers." > You pat his shoulder in sympathy "Not a sofa kind of mare, huh?" > He sags > "Beds and chairs, nothing in between. It's tragic." > You nod "What do you think of Luna, then?" > He looks at you in confusion > "Not much to go on, really. No offense, but why are you, of all ponies, asking about her?" > You acknowledge the point with a grimace "It's gotten complicated. Let's just say, that I owe it to her to help her find somepony to take the edge off of her loneliness." > His eyebrows rise > "That is complicated...and you're going to have to look elsewhere. I'm more of a simple guy, and I don't want to get in the way of her crush on you." > ... "You said you didn't know her, how-" > He chuckles > "I could be wrong, but she's already seen you in action, and now you're trying to put a stallion between her and you. It doesn't take Fetlock Bones to figure out what's going on." > You really hope that is not the case > Still, it does explain why she was in your dreams in the first place > And why she took it so badly > Crap "Right, never mind." > You sink down onto a nearby couch, and > Oh > Oh my > You lean against the backrest > It's like sitting in a cloud, with all the warmth of clothes fresh from the dryer > Davenport smiles > "Nice, isn't it? Just between you and me, that one is from the college days of a certain couple currently in the Crystal Empire right now." > You believe it "How much?" > At this he looks regretful, and names a sum > You cough a little at the price "That's a lot for a couch." > He shrugs > "It's about as low as I'm willing to go. Tell you what, though. You seem like a well-connected guy, I'll knock off a few hundred bits if you put in the good word for me." > That will still take most of your commission pay... > "Imagine how easy it would be to go from sitting together to lying together. It's just so warm and relaxing." > It is warm and relaxing > You check the tag for enchantments > [Warmth, Plush, Purifying, Guardrail, ...] "Guardrail?" > "So you don't fall off while doing...things." > Easy come, easy go you guess "I'll buy it."   > After some minor lifting, you have it up on two large, wooden dollies > You roll it out the back of the shop > The morning breeze is refreshing > You exchange greetings with ponies passing by, a bit of gray entering your peripheral vision > "Anonymous, I can't tell you how glad I am to see you in town!" > Mayor Mare trots up beside you, her gaze lingering on your arms > "Not in public, that is." > You should probably pretend not to have heard that last bit "Good morning, Madame Mayor. Anything I can help you with?" > "Oh yes, I could use you in- ahahaha, forgive me, it is I who should be asking if you need any help." > She bites her lip, then continues, > "That couch looks awfully heavy, even with your strong arms and powerful legs. I could help you push, I am an earth pony after all. Look at how well toned my legs are!" > She poses a bit ahead, her hind legs locked and her rear slightly raised > Subtle "I see. Don't worry though, the couch is on wheels. I barely have to push it to keep it going." > The Mayor looks a little disappointed at that, but rallies > "Might I ask what the occasion is? Are you perhaps at odds with the princess, and thus forced to sleep on a couch?" > If you didn't know better, you'd say she was fishing for gossip "No, I just had a feeling that I'd be getting more guests sooner or later. Might as well have a place for them to sit." > "You know, I pride myself on welcoming guests. Perhaps a mare's touch in your home would be nice?" > She strokes the couch suggestively > Then she stares at it "A rather warm couch, isn't it?" > "You bought the Couch of Opened Flower?" "Is that what it's called? Huh." > She glances between you and the couch > "Replacing the bed, I see." > Fair enough, it is a bit better than your old bed > This whole conversation reminds you, "Say, would you like to join the innuendo club?" > She stumbles at that, and you pause at the outskirts of town > "P-pardon me?" "Celestia and I have a fair amount of fun throwing around sexy double meanings. She wanted to do it more often, so she asked me to make a club around the idea. What do you say?" > "Of course, that sounds delightful. Indeed, it rather explains a letter I received earlier today." > She hands you a scroll, her hoof trembling > You take it and start reading "Dear Mayor Mare, I would appreciate it if you were to personally welcome the human Anonymous, and offer him your every service and orifice. I know it is rather irregular, and you must not let a hint of this arrangement go beyond you and Anon. Even I must pretend to be in ignorance of this, for the good of my public image. You are a beautiful mare, a vision of youth and beauty. I hope Anonymous ruts you fully and regularly while I am not around. Sincerely, Princess Celestia" > You roll up the scroll and wedge it between two couch cushions "What an interesting letter." > Mayor Made blushes slightly > "The princess is a kind mare." > You continue down the country road towards your house "So, this is not in fact, a forged letter from a pony with unique access to correspondence from Celestia?" > Mayor Mare begins to sweat > "O-of course not." "Oh good. I do wonder how she would react if she found out about such a thing, a local mare taking advantage of Celestia's chosen consort." > The mayor wipes her brow with a hoof > "My, but it's gotten hot quickly this morning." "Don't worry, it's not much farther. I'm sure you'll feel better once we're inside." > "I'm sure I will." She mutters, glancing up nervously > Heh > Soon enough you come to your door > Hmmmm > Perhaps you should have measured how wide the couch was before you bought it > You open the door and > Celestia stands frozen, her nose buried in your pillow "Taking a break?" > She lifts her head up gracefully > "Yes, well, bureaucracy is a terrible thing. There's so much paperwork I sometimes have trouble remembering what I have and haven't done." > Mayor Mare squeaks in dismay at Celestia's voice > You pluck the scroll from the couch "Do you remember writing this?" > She unrolls it, her brow furrowing > "I can't say I do. Still, it looks like something I might write." > Seriously? > She frowns > "I don't know what I was thinking, though. That level of secrecy is hardly necessary, there is no way I could keep myself from noticing this arrangement, given how often I visit your home." > You don't believe it > The Mayor is actually getting away with this "I didn't think consorts would be allowed intimacy with more that one mare..." > Celestia smiles at you > "Oh no, it's perfectly alright. It's not like we have all that much time together." > She rolls up the scroll and floats it back to you > "Although, do tell me how she is. I'd like to hear all the juicy details." > You hear a strangled yelp from outside your door > Celestia hears it too, trotting over to look outside > "Mayor Mare! What a nice couch, did you bring it yourself?" > The poor pony doesn't know what to say "No, I bought it earlier today. Unfortunately, I forgot to take into account the width of my door frame." > Celestia pats your shoulder with a wing > "Good thing I'm here, then." > The couch disappears in a flash of light, then appears inside the house > Mayor Mare timidly enters, ready to bolt at the first sign of hostility > Celestia makes a grunt of surprise > "Did you know, this used to be Cadence's? It still has the stain on the center cushion." > She flips over the cushion, and there is a large, dark blotch on the cushion "I thought it had a purifying enchantment..." > Celestia flips it back over > "Oh it does, it's just the marecum of a princess of love is more powerful. Well, as nostalgic as this all is, I really should return to work." > She kisses you on the cheek > "See if you can't leave a mark yourself." > And then she's gone > Mayor Mare sighs in relief "We both know this letter is a forgery." > As you walk towards her, she looks at you in apprehension > "I'm sure she just forgot about it...." > You grab her forehooves before she has a chance to back away > You lift her up and back her against the wall "It was such a shallow deception, I can't help but wonder if you wanted to be caught." > She stares at you, her shallow breaths hot against your skin > "I wasn't-" > You lean down, until you are staring directly in her eyes "Maybe you want to be punished, like a bad, bad, filly." > Her eyes roll back in her head, a goofy smile on her face > Her body goes slack in your grip > Did she give up, or > You let go, and she falls to the ground and lays still > You poke her "Mayor?" > You put a hand by her mouth > She's still breathing > Looks like you have an unconscious pony in your house > You shake her a little bit > No response > Welp "What am I supposed to do with you?" > She is remarkably unhelpful > Finally, you decide to just put her on the couch while you chop up some wood > She's heavier than she looks > You manage to heave her up onto the couch > She just lays there, her butt jutting out slightly > ... > You give one of her cheeks squeeze > The amount of give is unbelievable > ... > You really shouldn't be doing this, not while she's asleep > ... > You knead her cheeks with both hands, spreading them and squishing them > Nice > With some regret, you let go and set out for the woods > If you are allowed multiple mares... > You're definitely going to need a bigger house   > You spend a good two hours cutting down a tree, sawing off its branches, deliberately not thinking of the Mayor's rear as you make the back and forth motions > You certainly don't think about all the suggestive things she said to you this morning > The glimpse of her marehood > You pause in your work, the nearly noon sun hot on your brow > You'll just go and get a drink of water > That's all > You wipe your hands off on your pants and head inside > Would you believe it? > She's still asleep > Defenseless > She managed to roll onto her back, her hind legs splayed apart > You're just going to pass by, and not look too closely at > Her delicate marehood > Her tender belly > You slip out of your clothes quietly, the scent of your sweat billowing out > You freeze as her nostrils twitch, but nothing else happens > Maybe she's just faking? > You kneel by the couch, and softly rub her tummy > All you can feel is the slow rise and fall, and her soft, short fur > You slide your hand lower and lower > Emboldened by her lack of reaction, you start rubbing the outside of her lower lips > She's very warm down there, almost feverish > One of your fingertips accidentally slips into her pussy > She's wet "Mayor Mare? You're about to have a guest..." > "Oh good." > You stop, your blood running cold > The mare blinks blearily, rising out of sleep in a mild confusion > Then she sees your hand on her marehood > And that you are naked > Her nostrils flare, filled with your scent > ... > "Well? Continue." > Everything feels awkward now "Now I'm sorta not feeling it." > She raises an eyebrow at where your hand is still resting > "You most certainly are feeling it. Would it help if I pretended to be asleep?" > Well, actually, "Yes, that would help." > She rests her head back onto the couch > "Oh, and you can cum inside me if you want. I wouldn't mind getting pregnant." > Can ponies even get pregnant from human sperm? > You'd say probably not, but there is an entire race of eagle-lions that says maybe > You wait for her breathing to even out > Meanwhile, you try ignore how turned on you by the fact that she would happily bear your child > You take a few calming breaths yourself, and clamber up onto the couch > You stare at her 'sleeping' face, your arms on either side of her head >  With a guiding hand, you gently press your tip against her entrance > With aching slowness, you push into her > The entire time, you watch her face for any twitch, any sign that she will break the illusion > You hilt in her moist passage > Did her breath just hitch? > After waiting in silence for a moment, you continue > You withdraw slowly, your mouth agape at the sensation of her every fold > You impale her again > To your horror, some drool falls from your mouth, and into hers > The mare reflexively swallows > Oh damn > Your hips begin to move with a mind of their own, gradually picking up the pace > You lean down and kiss her lips chastely > The sensation of her soft rear rubbing against your thighs is heavenly > With every thrust, it's a velvety stroke along your legs > You close your eyes and deepen the kiss, your mouth sealing against hers > She tastes of cinnamon and oats, her tongue easily moved about by your own > You can feel her hips buck against your own > Her tongue comes alive against your own, and for a few moments they wrestle > Finally, you break the kiss, grinning at the mare below you "You're awake." > She smiles bashfully > "You could wake the dead with such attentions." > You run a hand up and down her side "Are you saying I'm a necrophiliac?" > She must be very distracted, for her to be a politician and imply that > Genuine distress shows on her face > "No! I meant that your cock is, ah, " > She throws her head back and writhes > For your part, you seemed to have found her sweet spot > Mayor Mare tosses her head back and forth, her mane becoming quite unkempt > "Your cock is miracle, by the titans, it is!" > You bite your lip, exulting in the reaction you're getting out of this respectable mare > She wraps her hind legs around your waist and her forelegs around your neck > You get one glimpse of her sultry glare, and then she's tongue deep in your mouth and fighting to stay there > You rake your fingers across her back, careful not to press too hard > You are rewarded as her back arches into your touch, her tongue going slack, and her marehood clamping down hard and winking furiously > You roll onto your back, one hand keeping her surging hips pressed tight against your own > Her pussy desperately milks your dick, and you find a response building up inside you > The Mayor's mouth slides from your own, her frantic humping jostling her head down into the crook of your neck > "Fu-uh-uh-uck me!" > Her lips brush against your neck > Your eyes shoot wide open, and you thrust deep into her > Your hands clamp down on her ass, pressing her firmly against you as your sperm jets into her womb, again and again > You rub her back gently, soothing her "That's right, take it all in. You are a good pony." > She snuggles contentedly against your chest > "Tell me I'm a good mayor." > You chuckle, but keep rubbing her back "You are a good mayor. A vision of youth, beauty, and excellent in bed too." > Mayor Mare hums happily at that > You stay like that for a while, trapped by the warmth of the couch, and the mare on your dick > Then somepony knocks on your door > She scrambles off, desperately trying to fix her mussed mane > You are a bit more leisurely into a clean set of clothes "Hold on a minute!" > Feeling halfway clean, you open the door > Twilight, Nat, and Applejack look up at you > Come to think of it, you hadn't seen either of the ponies in the crowd from yesterday "Can I help you girls?" > Twilight beams at you > "Nat talks to me now! I understand what he wants, and we do all sorts of things together, and it's just great!" "Oh, that's good?" > She nods happily > "Oh, and Applejack has something to say to you." > Your turn to the appulpony > She doesn't meet your eyes, blushing intensely > "Thank you for helpin' me realize that ah..." > Nat's hand strokes her mane > Could it always do that? > Applejack glances at the doll, smiling ever so little > "That ah like gettin' raped an' dominated an' humiliated. Twi told me about your culture, and that what I have is a, uh, fetlock?" > "Fetish." Twilight supplies helpfully > "Right, a fetish for all that stuff. So, if you ever see me all alone..." > Now she looks you in the eye, her hips shifting back and forth slightly > "Don't be holdin' back, y'hear?" > What "I'll...keep that in mind." > She nods firmly > "Good. Just so's you know, ah'm ripe for the pickin', if'n you catch mah meaning." "Riiiiggghhhtt." > You direct your gaze to Twilight "I can't actually impregnate ponies, right? Since I'm a human?" > She nods > "Not without some significant magical intervention. Well, I won't take up any more of your time, I'm sure you have all sorts of things to be doing, as does the mayor." > Ah "You saw?" > Applejack scuffs a hoof > "Through the window. We're a pair a peepin' toms, gettin' frisky at the sight a you rutting the honorable mayor til she can't think straight." > ... > Twilight coughs > "Yeah, let's go." > They trot away, with Applejack occasionally glancing behind her and twitching her tail out of the way > It's been an odd day, and it's only half over
