  "description": "Awesome work done by [iconname]Exelzior[/iconname]!\n\nThe character Sinuous belongs to me.\n\n---\n\nSpike had just returned from royal peace treaty talks and was a bit winded, but satisfied with the progress that had been made between the Changelings and Griffons. His thoughts changed as he entered the main hall to find Princess Twilight was absent. Spike shrugged as she was likely off doing various royal duties and proceeded to sit on his co-throne.\n\nHe realized just how alone things got when he wasn't working as Twilight usually only gave him a customary \"hello\" or \"thank you\" after he'd successfully ironed out peace talks, her student didn't even seem to notice he existed, and it was only once a year he even got to see their old friends from ponyville.\n\nIt was a minute or two of this thinking that his mind delved into his past at events he had helped with, namely proving Thorax's innocence and fighting through the Gauntlet of Fire to protect his pony family. He also realized that he saved the lives of Thorax and Ember in those events; Ember from drowning and Thorax from possibly being executed. He smiled for a moment before he realized that... he hadn't seen Ember or Thorax in a non business related encounter since the day he accidentally invited both of them over. He recalled how scared he was at the idea of Ember harassing Thorax and Thorax possibly retaliating. Thorax was peaceful but he would gnash teeth you didn't know he had if Spike was in trouble and Ember was sharp tempered in the first place but was exceedingly terrifying if Spike was in danger. \n\nBut... Twilight didn't seem to help quell his worries that day, she just fed into them. She didn't tell him to calm down or think reasonably... and Thorax and Ember got plenty pissed off at him for his misjudgment of how they would interact, and now that he thought about it, with how he never saw either of them outside of business interactions in sterile environments or how he wasn't even invited over to assist Thorax with his brother... his friendships with them died that day.\n\nWith the interactions of his ponyville friends being boiled down to single days in a busy year, he no longer had one on one interactions with them, so if Rarity returned his affections, they were muted in the rabble, not that she'd give up her booming business she worked so hard to achieve.\n\nAnd Gabby... he really thought there was something special there as she clicked with him and fought to see him... It hurt his heart to find out that the day he was to move back to canterlot, Gabby had spent her bottom bits to move to ponyville just to be closer to him, only to find out that the years she saved up were for naught as canterlot was much more expensive in terms of housing and that even Spike was only co-living there thanks to twilight. Thus, Gabby was lost in the once-a-year rabble and... she seemed to be more and more distant as the years dragged on.\n\nComing back to the present, Spike looked around the throne room, and he realized... he was alone. Not just in person, but in his heart. He was champion of the changelings, champion of the dragons, champion of the crystal empire (though he knew it was because twilight fibbed about her contribution), and now royal adviser and official friendship ambassador.\n\nBut he was completely alone without a real friend in the world.\n\nThe weight of that hit him all at once and the empty throne room felt all the more empty as his chest grew cold and painful. He really had just been living day to day with only his focus on his job and thus, obscuring him to any personal life he could have had.\n\nHe closed his eyes and shivered as he wept, tears running down his cheeks, but other than some hushed uneasy breathing, he didn't make much noise as he didn't want to attract...\n\nThere was a knock on the door. Yup, figures. He rubbed his face clear of his tears and swallowed down anymore sniffling before sighing.\n\n\"Come in.\"\n\nThe doors opened and Captain Gallus stepped through.\n\n\"Friendship Ambassador Spike?\"\n\n\"Just Spike is fine.\" he said, though he knew Gallus would defer to proper royal terms regardless.\n\n\"You have a guest who would like to see you. They have been waiting for your return since you last departed.\" Spike blinked at that. Someone was here to see him? They had been waiting since he left for his last duty? He was gone for a solid two weeks, yet they waited that long for him? If it was business, they would have seen Twilight, not him. It was either a very persistent fanboy from the crystal empire or...\n\n\"Are they a crystal pony?\" he asked. He knew he was alone, but hollow praise from the crystal empire would not make him feel any better right now and would rather politely turn them down. Gallus shook his head.\n\n\"No, she's a changeling.\" Spike blinked at that. A changeling? He didn't know what to make of it.\n\n\"Okay, send them in.\" he said, unsure of what this could be about. Gallus stepped away from the door and there was a moment or two of silence before a crimson colored changeling walked into the room. Spike didn't recognize her. She walked in with her head held rather low, as if she was ashamed, as the throne room doors were shut behind her.\n\n\"Friendship Ambassador Spike?\" she said softly. He raised his hand and shook his head. \n\n\"Just Spike is fine.\" he said. \"I'm sorry but... do I know you?\" he asked. Her eyes widened slightly before they returned to their downcast appearance. \n\n\"Well... I mean, you did, but... I guess you've been busy so I'm not very remarkable.\" she said, kicking at the floor lightly with a front hoof. Spike felt bad for not knowing who she was. \"My name is Sinuous.\" Nope, still didn't ring any bells. He scratched his head and sighed.\n\n\"I'm sorry, but I think you'll need to remind me.\" he said, flushing slightly at how embarrassing this all was. Sinuous didn't seem much better but her crimson coloration hid her blushing better. Still, she swallowed and began.\n\n\"Years back, I was cast out of canterlot when Chrysalis attempted her invasion. I felt that she was wrong and so I remained in ponyville, in disguise. I didn't impersonate anypony because I believed that love energy, rightfully earned, would be much more powerful and not prone to backfiring as it was honestly given.\" she recounted, gently swaying her head side to side and avoiding making eye contact with Spike.\n\n\"Go on.\" he encouraged. She nodded.\n\n\"Since I was not apart of the hive, I didn't know of the planned takeover when Chrysalis returned and was as oblivious as everypony else until word came out of a decisive victory over the changelings and that they had been lied to, that if we gave love, we would find our true form and no longer starve. I admitted I loved ponyville, I loved being a part of the lives of everypony there, and it was true, I changed and was no longer starving... but... not... everypony appreciated me admitting the truth.\" she was extremely downcast as she recounted this part. \"I was mostly shunned, despised for lying and not being honest, even though they all would have turned me in for being a horrible monster if I did. I was an invader in the very town I'd been in for years...\"\n\n\"Sounds like you'd been there for a long time.\" Spike said, offhandedly as he noted her use of \"everypony\" instead of \"everyling\" or \"everycreature\". \n\n\"I was... and I considered leaving... but... then there was one day.\" her mood brightened. \"I am not sure of the details, but it had something to do with Dragon Lady Ember arriving... but Good King Thorax also arrived. I'm not sure what was so special about this day, but without my disguise on... I was met by a little purple dragon.\" she said, looking at him in the eyes for once. \"This little dragon approached me without hesitation. He saw my downcast expression and talked to me. He wondered why I was sad, why I was dejected, and so I told him the same story I'm telling you right now.\" Spike's memory started to get jostled... he met her during the mayhem of when Twilight and Starlight basically sabotaged his friendships so badly, the map called on him to solve a problem? No wonder his memory was foggy.\n\n\"I think I'm starting to remember... Please, what did he... what did I tell you?\" he asked, looking into her crimson eyes.\n\n\"You said that not everypony did hate me, that not everypony could. That there would be a friend for me if I continued living my life happily. I said that couldn't be true as it couldn't fix my heart right now... Then you hugged me.\" she said, tears budding in her eyes. \"You hugged me... then... then I hugged you, and I cried, and you held onto me while I cried, and then, when I stopped and sniffled, you just gave me a happy grin and said goodbye and ran off.\" she said, a bit of a chuckle slipping through her speech. \n\n\"Wait... I think I remember...\" he said. It was a mayhem day for sure, but someone hugging him and crying was not easily forgotten, he just didn't remember who it was until this moment. He looked at her, noting the three gem-like structures on her chest, which reminded him of food, hence his dashing to the lunch meeting with Thorax. \"I DO remember you!\" he said, suddenly stepping off his throne and walking up to her. She reared up and Spike didn't hesitate to give her a hug, which she tried to return, although his considerable bulk made it difficult. \"Goodness, how long has it been?\" he said as he set her down, the changeling smiling.\n\n\"Close to twenty years since then.\" she said, giving an uneasy grin. Spike blinked and couldn't fathom that event happening that long ago. It felt much more recent.\n\n\"Wow... uh... guess that's why two weeks waiting was no problem for you...\" he said, chuckling. \"What took so long to reconnect with me?\" he asked. She kicked the floor.\n\n\"Well, I lived in ponyville and it was so much farther to canterlot and much more expensive to live there. When I found you and Princess Twilight moved there after Celestia and Luna retired, I tried to visit, but your long wait periods between tasks meant that I'd have to either rent housing or buy housing on any given visit, and I just didn't have the money...\" she scuffed the ground again. \"It took all that time for me to save up money and get some very generous donations from ponyville folks to help me move to canterlot, which I only just finished doing.\" Spike smiled at her.\n\n\"I'm sorry it took so long.\" Spike said, shaking his head. \"But you're here now.\" He said.\n\n\"She nodded and smiled in return. \"Are you able to make house visits? I mean... could you visit a commoner's home? Is that something you can do?\" She asked, somewhat nervously. Spike just chuckled and nodded.\n\n\"Yes, it's no big deal. I don't have the royal hangups Twi does.\" Sinuous had to giggle for a moment. \n\n\"Goodness, \"Twi\"...\" she echoed, finally make him realize she likely never heard her referred to in that manner and chuckled with her.\n\n\"You think that's something, you should have heard her nickname when she got hit with poison joke.\" Sinuous giggled and looked at him with expecting eyes and suddenly, Spike realized just how easy he had fallen into reconnecting with someone he only briefly met years ago. His pause gave her time to speak.\n\n\"Uh, um... would you like to tell me more during lunch? At my place?\" she asked, fidgeting on the spot. A lunch time date sounded pretty appetizing to him, especially as his belly gurgled. That said, he was about to turn her down for his work, before he looked at his throne and the otherwise empty throne room and frowned before he looked at her. \n\n\"You know what, I'd like that a lot. You just lead the way.\" he said. Sinuous seemed to brighten up as he opened the doors to the main hall and invited her out past the guards, which she did so at a skipping pace.\n\n---\n\nThe fly and walk to her place was not long, though her home was very modest in its size, which spoke truth of how limited her funds were to buy it. She unlocked the door and invited him in. He only had to slightly duck past the doorframe. Inside was a spotless livingroom, a rather decent couch, and a corner which had multiple books and several figurines. Sinuous closed the door behind them and trotted past him and around a corner into her kitchen. \n\n\"I hope you like what I make, but it's okay if you don't. I've never cooked for a dragon.\" she said, just out of sight.\n\n\"Don't worry, just having a home made meal served to me is going to make me feel much better.\" he said.\n\n\"Feel free to get comfortable while I do this!\" she said and Spike gave a brief \"k\" in response. The home was very neat, likely a result of her having recently moved in, but it was tidy and no clothing or objects seemed to be out of place. His attention was pulled to the books, most being about various creatures and some basic accounts of the details of the exploits that he and his old friends went on. The figurines, however, suddenly made his eyes widen. It was a collection of Ogres and Oubliettes figurines, and expertly crafted. Was this part of the reason it took her so long to get the funds to move to canterlot, she was buying expensive figurines? He certainly hoped not. He was distracted by a pleasant smell.\n\n\"Smells fantastic, whatever it is.\" he said as he moved himself to table and seated himself at it, though a chair was a bit too much so he sat on the soft floor carpet.\n\n\"I hope it tastes as good as it smells.\" she said as she came back into the room, levitating two bowls and glasses of water before setting a glass and bowl in front of him. \"Opals and lesser gems heated on a sauce mix. I know dragons prefer gemstones of higher quality but... money and all.\" she said as she set a peculiar bowl of a jelly-like substance in front of herself. Spike just smiled.\n\n\"Aww you didn't have to go out of your way like that.\" he said as he picked up a single gem and popped it into his mouth, the flavor being quite the explosion. It reminded him of the more wild and rustic meals he ate back in ponyville and how he actually missed it. \"Wow... this is fantastic!\" he said as he soon set to work eating more. She smiled at him and began eating her own meal. \n\n\"I'm glad you think so!\" she said between mouthfuls. Spike swallowed down what was in his mouth before he gave her a bit of a concerned look. \n\n“So those Ogres and Oubliettes figures on your shelf…” he said. Sinuous stopped what she was doing and dropped her levitating fork.\n\n“Omigosh I’m so sorry I left those out, I must look like such an embarrassing nerd…” she said as she covered her face.\n\n“Oh, uh, no, that’s not what I was going to say.” Spike hurried to comment. “I was just thinking that those must have cost a lot.” he said.\n\n“Cost a lot?” she echoed, removing her hooves from her face and peeking at him.\n\n“Yeah, I mean, they are very highly detailed and they are expertly painted.” Spike noted that Sinuous was getting uncomfortably as she wiggled in place, but she suddenly smiled.\n\n“No they didn’t cost me anything since I carved and painted them myself.” she said, still a bit bashful. Spike’s eyes widened and he looked over at them again.\n\n“You… YOU made these?!” he said, his jaw practically on the floor. “I’ve really not seen figures like this boasting so much detail that don’t cost a fortune.” he said.\n\n“You really think so?” she said. “I was selling some of them to try and make some money, but I never knew how much to sell them for. Artist problem of not valuing your own work, I suppose.” she said, smiling.\n\n“Oh I know so. I’ve been playing O&O for years… well I was but after I moved here I no longer had anyone to play with, but I do still have my pieces.” he said. Sinuous had brightened up.\n\n“Oh we should play some day! I lost all my partners a while ago and would love to have some adventures. We could even make campaigns based off of your real adventures!” she said ,getting more and more giddy, which Spike could only join in on. “By the way, just how much of those stories is true and what’s made up? I know the books can’t possibly be completely right.” \n\n“Oh I’ll be happy to show you photos of the real events where we took them and a few we never told anypony.” he said, smiling, eager to spend time with his new friend.\n\n---\n\nTwo months passed since they had met back up and since then, if Spike had free time, he was at Sinuous’ home, telling her about his old friend, his old exploits, adventures, and old passions. They frequently played games and just enjoyed each other’s company.\n\nThis lead to Sinuous suggesting a sleep over at her place for a marathon of O&O since they often ran games late into the night anyway and Spike was eager to accompany her for it.\n\n---\n\nSpike knew the way to Sinuous’ home as if it was his own and arrived in the afternoon. He knocked upon her door and there was a click as it unlocked and opened and he walked right in, the door shutting behind him, but he noticed he didn’t see where Sinuous was and some of the lighting was fairly dim. \n\n“Have a seat on the couch. I’ll be out in a moment.” she said, still out of view. Spike shrugged and did as she asked, sitting and relaxing into the corner against the armrest. He wasn’t sure what she was doing, but he just assumed he caught her in the bathroom. Eventually he heard hoofsteps down the hallway. “Hey, sorry if I came here while you were in the-” he stopped his sentence instantly as he saw that Sinuous was not the one walking down the hallway, but rather a unicorn with a rather beautifully kept mane. Her horn glowed for a moment and suddenly the lighting shifted and he saw her in full.\n\n“Sorry to keep you waiting, dahling.” came the very familiar voice of Rarity as she walked… no… sashayed closer to him.\n\n“R-Rarity?! What are you doing… I mean… How did…” Spike just fumbled over words as she walked closer and he saw that there was more to her than just being Rarity, but she had her lashes done, she was wearing eyeshadow, and wore cherry lipstick.\n\n“You really are such a HANDSOME dragon, dahling. It’s such a shame I never openly said so all those years ago.” she said, though something was off, and it took a moment before Spike figured it out. The makeup was not “perfect”, the lipstick was slightly crooked and Rarity was… too young. He knew Rarity had put some lines on her face, but this Rarity was pristine as the day he first went to ponyville.\n\n“Sinuous?” he said. “What are you doing?” he asked, knowing it had to be his friend and that she was imitating what she saw in the photos he’d shared with her. Her expression broke for a moment before she returned to the practiced and now rather fake performance.\n\n“Why dahling, I’m your Rarity tonight. There is no Sinuous here.” she said, a flush crossing her face. Spike narrowed his eyes at her in a confused manner. She tried to keep the sultry expression on her face for a bit longer before she began to blush and became embarrassed and then completely broke character. “Oh, I’m sorry! You said you liked-” there was a flash of green flame and instead of Rarity before him, it was Gabby the griffon.\n\n“What-” was all Spike got out before she started talking.\n\n“Hey there, Spikey! I’m so glad you could make it over to my sleep over, but we’re not going to get a lot of sleeping done, if you catch my drift!” she said in an excited tone, but Spike hardly heard her words because she had forgotten that… she was still wearing the crooked lipstick, eyelashes, and eyeshadow, which was extremely obvious on a beak. His scrutinizing eyes made her smile fade and her acting break once more. \n\n“Sinuous… I think you’re forgetting that-” he was cut off again by another flash of green fire and now standing before him was Dragon Lady Ember… with the lashes, eyeshadow, and crooked lipstick.\n\n“Allright, dragons don’t do foreplay, so spread those legs and let me see if you’re worthy of-” this time Spike interrupted, standing up and towering over her.\n\n“Sinuous, snap out of it!” he barked at her. Her guise broke instantly and her knees wobbled before there was another green flash, the lighting in the room returned to it’s normal brightness, and the crimson changeling stood before him, her teeth grit as she looked at him and tried not to cry out of sheer embarrassment. She sat on the spot and hung her head.\n\n“I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… I…” she started to turn to run down the hallway, but Spike had too many years of experience to let her run off and leave this unresolve, so he grabbed her and pulled her to sit on the couch with him.\n\n“Nu-uh, you’re going to sit here with me and talk.” he said in a strict tone before he put a hand under her chin and made her look him in the eye. “Just like we always do.” he said, a charming smile returning to his face. Sinuous just leaned forward onto him and he hugged her in response as she began to cry. He just let her, slowly stroking the back of her head until her crying abated and her breathing returned to a more or less normal pattern, at which point he gently let go of her and let her sit back. Her eyeshadow was smudge, as was the lipstick and one of the lashes had fallen off.\n\n“I… I just… I wanted tonight to be special. I mean, I know it’s only been two months but… I like you, Spike.” she said, looking somewhat mournfully at him. This time, Spike blushed as he finally registered all the things she had said, the lighting, the makeup, and the overnight excuse. Spike was quiet a moment, perhaps a bit longer than he wanted to be, but he finally spoke up.\n\n“So, you wanted to seduce me as one of my old friends?” he asked, just making sure he knew her plan.\n\n\n“I just wanted to make sure I was irresistible to you.” she said in a strained tone. “I wanted to make sure that if I risked our friendship being broken, I should just use the form of someone you had mentioned you had at least some interest in. I didn’t want to upset you or make it weird… but I did exactly that…” she said as she hung her head and while it was softer, she began crying again. Spike was quiet again before she felt him stand up and walk away and her heart hammered hard in her chest. She knew she was going to hear that front door open and slam shut, then she’d never see him again. She couldn’t look up. She wanted her last memory of him to be that expression of him smiling at her. She couldn’t let it be an expression of rage or just his back. However, the door never slammed. In fact, it never opened and she soon felt the couch deform again as he sat back down and lifted her head up and she dared to look at him, only to find his smiling face again.\n\n“I can’t believe you forgot.” he said. She blinked only for him to bring a moist cloth up to her face and start scrubbing it. “You didn’t need to be Rarity or Gabby or Ember. You didn’t need these fake eyelashes,” he removed the flimsily attached lashes. “Eye shadow,” he coaxed her to shut one eye as he scrubbed it, then the other. “Or this lipstick.” he said as he rubbed her lips clean and set the cloth on the table next to him. “You only ever needed to be you… Since I like you for who you are, not who you can pretend to be.” She slowly began to smile before she chuckled.\n\n“Y-yeah, that really was silly of me.” she said, swallowing and breathing a little more calmly. “I shouldn’t have tried to hide again… I should have just told you that I L… L… Love you.” she strained out. Spike blushed as she spoke those words and swallowed.\n\n“L-love? Are you sure it’s not just a crush? Th-that you won’t feel the same way after a while?” he said, his voice now taking it’s turn to waver.\n\n“I thought about that. But… I… I think I fell in l-l-love with you the second time you came for a visit… My day revolves around you, I make all my plans around you, and it’s not like I ignore you or have you serve me or do chores… We talk, we play games, share hobbies, tell stories… And I wanted to… do more with you.” She said softly.\n\n“M-more… like-”\n\n“Like kissing… like… getting intimate…” she said softer, getting her face a little closer to his own, but she stopped, not wanting to scare him or push something he didn’t want. “If… if you don’t want to go that far… I’d like you to tell me right now, because I… I really can’t hold these feelings for you anymore…” Sinuous was worried that she dropped too much on him all at once, but had to get this out. Spike looked around nervously before he looked at her again. He looked into her crimson eyes, the faded lighter part being her equivalent of pupils as she looked intently at him and all he could see was… Someone who cared about him for who he is. Not what he did, not his reputation, but the person he is.\n\n“I think…” he swallowed but then gently grasped Sinuous, pulling her into his lap. “That maybe… this is what needs to happen.” he said as he continued looking into her eyes. He could feel her heart thrumming hard as her chest pressed to his and she leaned her face closer, her lips puckering as her eyes lidded and finally, her lips touched his own. Her whole form shuddered and soon, she melted into the feeling as she felt Spike return it, his body likewise softening as he stroked her back. This kiss felt so natural. Nothing fell apart, no one chided them, it was just the two of them enjoying it. As he stroked her back, he cupped her rump, and at first she wiggled into his strong hands, but then she froze, breaking the kiss and freezing his hands with her magic.\n\n“W-wait… Spike… Are you sure you… want me as… myself?” she asked. Spike was puzzled. “Because… well, changelings are not like griffons or ponies or dragons. We’re… different and… many books talk about how scary or creepy we are there…” she said. Spike was still puzzled and spoke.\n\n“If you know you could… well… successfully… do it with a dragon like me… then why is it weird?” he asked. She looked down for a moment before she gently used her magic to move the fingers of his right hand to touch her lips. Spike swallowed as he had seen mare and griffon rumps a plenty but this was the first time he’d actually touched someone intimately. He felt her control his fingers, stroking her moist, soft, hot lips, then she slid one of his fingers inside. Oh how amazing that felt; silky soft warmness all around… Then he felt “it” as he felt something “grip” his finger. It didn’t hurt, but even though she stopped controlling him with her magic, he found he couldn’t pull out. “What the…”\n\n“It’s something female changelings have. We can hold our partners in us… stimulate them more… or even hurt them if we don’t want them as a partner. It looks creepy to most ponies… it’s… kinda why I tried to be somepony else.” She looked away again, but he used his free hand to make her look at him again as he kissed her on the lips once more before he pulled back.\n\n“If I’m going to be with you, I want to be with all of you.” he said, though he flushed a moment. “But uh… little warning… I… haven’t actually done this before.” Sinuous gave him a blank look before she blinked, freeing his finger. \n\n“Wait… you really haven’t been with anypony before? Not even one night stands?” she asked and Spike nodded. \n\n“Yeah… if it wasn’t honest love, then I didn’t want to do it.” he said. Sinuous just smiled.\n\n“Well, guess that makes two of us.” she said as Spike looked at her. “I, uh… have a toy or two… but… um… never had a real one.” she gave a nervous giggle. Spike smiled a bit and swallowed.\n\n“Well, I guess it’s a good thing we have all night because… uh, well… I really don’t think I’ll be able to last for my first time. I’m liable to kinda explode right away… or so I’ve read can happen.” he said, rubbing his head bashfully.\n\n“The sleep over idea was actually to kinda work out these kinks… and just have fun. I want to be calm and secure with you… just as I want you to be calm and secure with me.” They smiled at one another before she felt something warm pressing against her rump and she quickly looked over her shoulder to see his firm, textured, slightly purplish shaft jutting up behind her. She grinned and fluttered her wings, doing an expert backflip out of his lap and onto the floor in front of him before walking back up to look at what Spike had to offer. He fidgeted slightly in his seat as she got close to him, prompting her to speak. “May I touch it?”\n\n“Y-yeah, just be gentle. It doesn’t bend much.” she nodded before her attention was focused on his shaft jutting from a part in his groin scales. It was meaty and had a sort of rippling waves to it with a prominent triangular head. A head that Sinuous recalled reading about, meant to coax a female dragon to let him inside of her. She leaned even closer to it, watching as it bobbed in time with his heartbeat, a drop of fluid present at the tip. She slowly pressed her snout against it and Spike groaned. She coaxed another groan out of him as she ran her lips along the underside, but when she gave the middle underside a gentle kiss, the length gave a much more firm twitch and a single rope of clear fluid shot out of it. She blinked a moment.\n\n“Wow… you really are excited…” she said, smiling and swallowing as she looked at him. “Me too…” Spike was blushing but he smiled and stood up. He could see her legs jitter and she turned her back to him, but her elegant tail was pulled down. “I… I don’t know if you’ll still want to do it if you see me back there…”\n\n“If I’m going to be your lover, I’m going to see it eventually. After all, how bad could it be?” he asked as he knelt down behind her and placed a hand on her rump.\n\n“Don’t ask that question…” she said. Spike watched her head hang low before her tail raised up. It seemed mostly like a mare with the tight ring of her rump and the fleshy wide lips. He gently placed his thumbs on either side of her lips, trembling as he did so, before he pulled the wet lips apart in a rather erotic squishing sound, strings of her juices reaching from one internal wall to another. He still didn’t see anything weird at first, until she winked her clitoris. As he looked at it, he suddenly saw three pairs of long, finger-like structures all coming from the floor of her vagina just behind her clitoris. They opened and closed in a wave like motion, even bending, and at that point he could see the little claw tips they had. It was unusual, that was for sure.\n\n“And these claws are used for when someone tries to force you into sex?” he asked.\n\n“Or keep them inside me longer… I once held a toy in me for an entire day.” she said with a weak chuckle. She heard him shift and stand up and she quickly looked over her shoulder, wondering if he was going to stop… before he suddenly showed her his hand. She looked at his palm a moment, then at his face.\n\n“You see these hands? These claws?” he asked. She nodded, confused. “Just about every day, my sensitive flesh meets these hands and I’ve never once been hurt by them. So I trust you.” he said. She shivered and hadn’t quite noticed it, but she had squared her hips and set her legs apart.\n\n“Please… I can tell you’re close… I… I want it in me. Even if it’s fast.” she pleaded.\n\n“But, what about-”\n\n“I’ve been taking contraceptives for the past week… So please…” she asked, her expression literally begging him.\n\n“Okay… I hope I don’t hurt you so… tell me if you need me to stop.” he said as he gently grasped her hips in both hands. She shuddered under him and at first he thought she was scared, and maybe she was, but the floor was greeted by spilling drops of her juices from her lips. He swallowed hard, looking down as he angled his hips and gently touched the head to her lips, the heat from the contact making him spurt another jet on her, which in turn made her wink at him. He pressed a bit more firmly and watched and felt as the head slipped between her folds and… he didn’t even notice the claws as he was bathed in a very hot, very soft embrace. He slowly pushed more into her but felt some sticky resistance and pulled back, seeing his length glossy with her juices, before he tried to push back into her, getting deeper before he pulled back and did it again. Sinuous was breathing in deep, slow breaths that were getting more and more uneasy. Spike’s instincts overtook him and made him push harder than normal to get the last bit of his shaft in her, his muscular hips pressing to her rump, every inch of himself inside of her. He somewhat doubled over her back, hugging her body, which he soon found was vibrating.\n\n“Unnnng!” Sinuous let out a decidedly un-lady like groan before he suddenly felt  a firm tightening around the base of his sensitive shaft, but also her insides in general were much more tense. “SPIIIIIIIKE!” she let out in a shrill tone as she grit her teeth in a very strained yet pleased expression as she vibrated harshly under him, her insides suddenly clamping on him in full before pulsing in a firm, rhythmic throbbing while a fresh, hot wet wave soaked across his sensitive shaft before leaking out against his groin as she came very hard. Spike tried to ride out the incredibly erotic show she had put on while she also did near pure magic on his shaft. He was glad she gave him the okay earlier as a slight tug revealed she had ahold of him and would not let go, but the motion provided just a bit of needed friction on his shaft before he held her tighter.\n\n“S-Sinuous, I’m… it’s cominNG!” his words turned into a firm grunt as he shuddered behind her, his loins kicking and pulsing as great heat washed through him and shot out through his shaft into her. He felt more of those incredible contractions around him, complimenting his climax and the sensation of her warm, wet, comforting grasp seemed to make his climax work ever harder, as if his body was fearful it couldn’t spill every single drop into his partner.\n\nThey both remained there, shivering as their climaxes slowly abated. Sinuous looked back at him over her shoulder and he met her face as they breathed hard, but soon kissed as they remained together.\n\nSinuous slightly began to weep, as did Spike as the two vented emotions they had denied expressing for so many years. Sinuous spoke first.\n\n“Wow… that felt so good… how about we take this into my bedroom. It’s much easier to snuggle.” she offered. Spike smiled.\n\n“Just let me go and lead the way.” Sinuous smirked and took a step forward and Spike soon found she was still not letting go of him, although intentionally this time. \n\n“Oh no you don’t. You’re staying in there.” she said as she playfully stuck out her tongue at him. “I said all night and I meant it!” Spike gave a chuckle and began walking with her.\n\n“Yes Ma'am.” he said as they hobbled into the bedroom to continue the first of many more nights they would share together.",

His thoughts changed as he entered the main hall to find Princess Twilight was absent. Spike shrugged as she was likely off doing various royal duties and proceeded to sit on his co-throne.<br /><br />He realized just how alone things got when he wasn&#039;t working as Twilight usually only gave him a customary &quot;hello&quot; or &quot;thank you&quot; after he&#039;d successfully ironed out peace talks, her student didn&#039;t even seem to notice he existed, and it was only once a year he even got to see their old friends from ponyville.<br /><br />It was a minute or two of this thinking that his mind delved into his past at events he had helped with, namely proving Thorax&#039;s innocence and fighting through the Gauntlet of Fire to protect his pony family. He also realized that he saved the lives of Thorax and Ember in those events; Ember from drowning and Thorax from possibly being executed. He smiled for a moment before he realized that... he hadn&#039;t seen Ember or Thorax in a non business related encounter since the day he accidentally invited both of them over. He recalled how scared he was at the idea of Ember harassing Thorax and Thorax possibly retaliating. Thorax was peaceful but he would gnash teeth you didn&#039;t know he had if Spike was in trouble and Ember was sharp tempered in the first place but was exceedingly terrifying if Spike was in danger. <br /><br />But... Twilight didn&#039;t seem to help quell his worries that day, she just fed into them. She didn&#039;t tell him to calm down or think reasonably... and Thorax and Ember got plenty pissed off at him for his misjudgment of how they would interact, and now that he thought about it, with how he never saw either of them outside of business interactions in sterile environments or how he wasn&#039;t even invited over to assist Thorax with his brother... his friendships with them died that day.<br /><br />With the interactions of his ponyville friends being boiled down to single days in a busy year, he no longer had one on one interactions with them, so if Rarity returned his affections, they were muted in the rabble, not that she&#039;d give up her booming business she worked so hard to achieve.<br /><br />And Gabby... he really thought there was something special there as she clicked with him and fought to see him... It hurt his heart to find out that the day he was to move back to canterlot, Gabby had spent her bottom bits to move to ponyville just to be closer to him, only to find out that the years she saved up were for naught as canterlot was much more expensive in terms of housing and that even Spike was only co-living there thanks to twilight. Thus, Gabby was lost in the once-a-year rabble and... she seemed to be more and more distant as the years dragged on.<br /><br />Coming back to the present, Spike looked around the throne room, and he realized... he was alone. Not just in person, but in his heart. He was champion of the changelings, champion of the dragons, champion of the crystal empire (though he knew it was because twilight fibbed about her contribution), and now royal adviser and official friendship ambassador.<br /><br />But he was completely alone without a real friend in the world.<br /><br />The weight of that hit him all at once and the empty throne room felt all the more empty as his chest grew cold and painful. He really had just been living day to day with only his focus on his job and thus, obscuring him to any personal life he could have had.<br /><br />He closed his eyes and shivered as he wept, tears running down his cheeks, but other than some hushed uneasy breathing, he didn&#039;t make much noise as he didn&#039;t want to attract...<br /><br />There was a knock on the door. Yup, figures. He rubbed his face clear of his tears and swallowed down anymore sniffling before sighing.<br /><br />&quot;Come in.&quot;<br /><br />The doors opened and Captain Gallus stepped through.<br /><br />&quot;Friendship Ambassador Spike?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Just Spike is fine.&quot; he said, though he knew Gallus would defer to proper royal terms regardless.<br /><br />&quot;You have a guest who would like to see you. They have been waiting for your return since you last departed.&quot; Spike blinked at that. Someone was here to see him? They had been waiting since he left for his last duty? He was gone for a solid two weeks, yet they waited that long for him? If it was business, they would have seen Twilight, not him. It was either a very persistent fanboy from the crystal empire or...<br /><br />&quot;Are they a crystal pony?&quot; he asked. He knew he was alone, but hollow praise from the crystal empire would not make him feel any better right now and would rather politely turn them down. Gallus shook his head.<br /><br />&quot;No, she&#039;s a changeling.&quot; Spike blinked at that. A changeling? He didn&#039;t know what to make of it.<br /><br />&quot;Okay, send them in.&quot; he said, unsure of what this could be about. Gallus stepped away from the door and there was a moment or two of silence before a crimson colored changeling walked into the room. Spike didn&#039;t recognize her. She walked in with her head held rather low, as if she was ashamed, as the throne room doors were shut behind her.<br /><br />&quot;Friendship Ambassador Spike?&quot; she said softly. He raised his hand and shook his head. <br /><br />&quot;Just Spike is fine.&quot; he said. &quot;I&#039;m sorry but... do I know you?&quot; he asked. Her eyes widened slightly before they returned to their downcast appearance. <br /><br />&quot;Well... I mean, you did, but... I guess you&#039;ve been busy so I&#039;m not very remarkable.&quot; she said, kicking at the floor lightly with a front hoof. Spike felt bad for not knowing who she was. &quot;My name is Sinuous.&quot; Nope, still didn&#039;t ring any bells. He scratched his head and sighed.<br /><br />&quot;I&#039;m sorry, but I think you&#039;ll need to remind me.&quot; he said, flushing slightly at how embarrassing this all was. Sinuous didn&#039;t seem much better but her crimson coloration hid her blushing better. Still, she swallowed and began.<br /><br />&quot;Years back, I was cast out of canterlot when Chrysalis attempted her invasion. I felt that she was wrong and so I remained in ponyville, in disguise. I didn&#039;t impersonate anypony because I believed that love energy, rightfully earned, would be much more powerful and not prone to backfiring as it was honestly given.&quot; she recounted, gently swaying her head side to side and avoiding making eye contact with Spike.<br /><br />&quot;Go on.&quot; he encouraged. She nodded.<br /><br />&quot;Since I was not apart of the hive, I didn&#039;t know of the planned takeover when Chrysalis returned and was as oblivious as everypony else until word came out of a decisive victory over the changelings and that they had been lied to, that if we gave love, we would find our true form and no longer starve. I admitted I loved ponyville, I loved being a part of the lives of everypony there, and it was true, I changed and was no longer starving... but... not... everypony appreciated me admitting the truth.&quot; she was extremely downcast as she recounted this part. &quot;I was mostly shunned, despised for lying and not being honest, even though they all would have turned me in for being a horrible monster if I did. I was an invader in the very town I&#039;d been in for years...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Sounds like you&#039;d been there for a long time.&quot; Spike said, offhandedly as he noted her use of &quot;everypony&quot; instead of &quot;everyling&quot; or &quot;everycreature&quot;. <br /><br />&quot;I was... and I considered leaving... but... then there was one day.&quot; her mood brightened. &quot;I am not sure of the details, but it had something to do with Dragon Lady Ember arriving... but Good King Thorax also arrived. I&#039;m not sure what was so special about this day, but without my disguise on... I was met by a little purple dragon.&quot; she said, looking at him in the eyes for once. &quot;This little dragon approached me without hesitation. He saw my downcast expression and talked to me. He wondered why I was sad, why I was dejected, and so I told him the same story I&#039;m telling you right now.&quot; Spike&#039;s memory started to get jostled... he met her during the mayhem of when Twilight and Starlight basically sabotaged his friendships so badly, the map called on him to solve a problem? No wonder his memory was foggy.<br /><br />&quot;I think I&#039;m starting to remember... Please, what did he... what did I tell you?&quot; he asked, looking into her crimson eyes.<br /><br />&quot;You said that not everypony did hate me, that not everypony could. That there would be a friend for me if I continued living my life happily. I said that couldn&#039;t be true as it couldn&#039;t fix my heart right now... Then you hugged me.&quot; she said, tears budding in her eyes. &quot;You hugged me... then... then I hugged you, and I cried, and you held onto me while I cried, and then, when I stopped and sniffled, you just gave me a happy grin and said goodbye and ran off.&quot; she said, a bit of a chuckle slipping through her speech. <br /><br />&quot;Wait... I think I remember...&quot; he said. It was a mayhem day for sure, but someone hugging him and crying was not easily forgotten, he just didn&#039;t remember who it was until this moment. He looked at her, noting the three gem-like structures on her chest, which reminded him of food, hence his dashing to the lunch meeting with Thorax. &quot;I DO remember you!&quot; he said, suddenly stepping off his throne and walking up to her. She reared up and Spike didn&#039;t hesitate to give her a hug, which she tried to return, although his considerable bulk made it difficult. &quot;Goodness, how long has it been?&quot; he said as he set her down, the changeling smiling.<br /><br />&quot;Close to twenty years since then.&quot; she said, giving an uneasy grin. Spike blinked and couldn&#039;t fathom that event happening that long ago. It felt much more recent.<br /><br />&quot;Wow... uh... guess that&#039;s why two weeks waiting was no problem for you...&quot; he said, chuckling. &quot;What took so long to reconnect with me?&quot; he asked. She kicked the floor.<br /><br />&quot;Well, I lived in ponyville and it was so much farther to canterlot and much more expensive to live there. When I found you and Princess Twilight moved there after Celestia and Luna retired, I tried to visit, but your long wait periods between tasks meant that I&#039;d have to either rent housing or buy housing on any given visit, and I just didn&#039;t have the money...&quot; she scuffed the ground again. &quot;It took all that time for me to save up money and get some very generous donations from ponyville folks to help me move to canterlot, which I only just finished doing.&quot; Spike smiled at her.<br /><br />&quot;I&#039;m sorry it took so long.&quot; Spike said, shaking his head. &quot;But you&#039;re here now.&quot; He said.<br /><br />&quot;She nodded and smiled in return. &quot;Are you able to make house visits? I mean... could you visit a commoner&#039;s home? Is that something you can do?&quot; She asked, somewhat nervously. Spike just chuckled and nodded.<br /><br />&quot;Yes, it&#039;s no big deal. I don&#039;t have the royal hangups Twi does.&quot; Sinuous had to giggle for a moment. <br /><br />&quot;Goodness, &quot;Twi&quot;...&quot; she echoed, finally make him realize she likely never heard her referred to in that manner and chuckled with her.<br /><br />&quot;You think that&#039;s something, you should have heard her nickname when she got hit with poison joke.&quot; Sinuous giggled and looked at him with expecting eyes and suddenly, Spike realized just how easy he had fallen into reconnecting with someone he only briefly met years ago. His pause gave her time to speak.<br /><br />&quot;Uh, um... would you like to tell me more during lunch? At my place?&quot; she asked, fidgeting on the spot. A lunch time date sounded pretty appetizing to him, especially as his belly gurgled. That said, he was about to turn her down for his work, before he looked at his throne and the otherwise empty throne room and frowned before he looked at her. <br /><br />&quot;You know what, I&#039;d like that a lot. You just lead the way.&quot; he said. Sinuous seemed to brighten up as he opened the doors to the main hall and invited her out past the guards, which she did so at a skipping pace.<br /><br />---<br /><br />The fly and walk to her place was not long, though her home was very modest in its size, which spoke truth of how limited her funds were to buy it. She unlocked the door and invited him in. He only had to slightly duck past the doorframe. Inside was a spotless livingroom, a rather decent couch, and a corner which had multiple books and several figurines. Sinuous closed the door behind them and trotted past him and around a corner into her kitchen. <br /><br />&quot;I hope you like what I make, but it&#039;s okay if you don&#039;t. I&#039;ve never cooked for a dragon.&quot; she said, just out of sight.<br /><br />&quot;Don&#039;t worry, just having a home made meal served to me is going to make me feel much better.&quot; he said.<br /><br />&quot;Feel free to get comfortable while I do this!&quot; she said and Spike gave a brief &quot;k&quot; in response. The home was very neat, likely a result of her having recently moved in, but it was tidy and no clothing or objects seemed to be out of place. His attention was pulled to the books, most being about various creatures and some basic accounts of the details of the exploits that he and his old friends went on. The figurines, however, suddenly made his eyes widen. It was a collection of Ogres and Oubliettes figurines, and expertly crafted. Was this part of the reason it took her so long to get the funds to move to canterlot, she was buying expensive figurines? He certainly hoped not. He was distracted by a pleasant smell.<br /><br />&quot;Smells fantastic, whatever it is.&quot; he said as he moved himself to table and seated himself at it, though a chair was a bit too much so he sat on the soft floor carpet.<br /><br />&quot;I hope it tastes as good as it smells.&quot; she said as she came back into the room, levitating two bowls and glasses of water before setting a glass and bowl in front of him. &quot;Opals and lesser gems heated on a sauce mix. I know dragons prefer gemstones of higher quality but... money and all.&quot; she said as she set a peculiar bowl of a jelly-like substance in front of herself. Spike just smiled.<br /><br />&quot;Aww you didn&#039;t have to go out of your way like that.&quot; he said as he picked up a single gem and popped it into his mouth, the flavor being quite the explosion. It reminded him of the more wild and rustic meals he ate back in ponyville and how he actually missed it. &quot;Wow... this is fantastic!&quot; he said as he soon set to work eating more. She smiled at him and began eating her own meal. <br /><br />&quot;I&#039;m glad you think so!&quot; she said between mouthfuls. Spike swallowed down what was in his mouth before he gave her a bit of a concerned look. <br /><br />&ldquo;So those Ogres and Oubliettes figures on your shelf&hellip;&rdquo; he said. Sinuous stopped what she was doing and dropped her levitating fork.<br /><br />&ldquo;Omigosh I&rsquo;m so sorry I left those out, I must look like such an embarrassing nerd&hellip;&rdquo; she said as she covered her face.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, uh, no, that&rsquo;s not what I was going to say.&rdquo; Spike hurried to comment. &ldquo;I was just thinking that those must have cost a lot.&rdquo; he said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Cost a lot?&rdquo; she echoed, removing her hooves from her face and peeking at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, I mean, they are very highly detailed and they are expertly painted.&rdquo; Spike noted that Sinuous was getting uncomfortably as she wiggled in place, but she suddenly smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;No they didn&rsquo;t cost me anything since I carved and painted them myself.&rdquo; she said, still a bit bashful. Spike&rsquo;s eyes widened and he looked over at them again.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&hellip; YOU made these?!&rdquo; he said, his jaw practically on the floor. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve really not seen figures like this boasting so much detail that don&rsquo;t cost a fortune.&rdquo; he said.<br /><br />&ldquo;You really think so?&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I was selling some of them to try and make some money, but I never knew how much to sell them for. Artist problem of not valuing your own work, I suppose.&rdquo; she said, smiling.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh I know so. I&rsquo;ve been playing O&amp;O for years&hellip; well I was but after I moved here I no longer had anyone to play with, but I do still have my pieces.&rdquo; he said. Sinuous had brightened up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh we should play some day! I lost all my partners a while ago and would love to have some adventures. We could even make campaigns based off of your real adventures!&rdquo; she said ,getting more and more giddy, which Spike could only join in on. &ldquo;By the way, just how much of those stories is true and what&rsquo;s made up? I know the books can&rsquo;t possibly be completely right.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Oh I&rsquo;ll be happy to show you photos of the real events where we took them and a few we never told anypony.&rdquo; he said, smiling, eager to spend time with his new friend.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Two months passed since they had met back up and since then, if Spike had free time, he was at Sinuous&rsquo; home, telling her about his old friend, his old exploits, adventures, and old passions. They frequently played games and just enjoyed each other&rsquo;s company.<br /><br />This lead to Sinuous suggesting a sleep over at her place for a marathon of O&amp;O since they often ran games late into the night anyway and Spike was eager to accompany her for it.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Spike knew the way to Sinuous&rsquo; home as if it was his own and arrived in the afternoon. He knocked upon her door and there was a click as it unlocked and opened and he walked right in, the door shutting behind him, but he noticed he didn&rsquo;t see where Sinuous was and some of the lighting was fairly dim. <br /><br />&ldquo;Have a seat on the couch. I&rsquo;ll be out in a moment.&rdquo; she said, still out of view. Spike shrugged and did as she asked, sitting and relaxing into the corner against the armrest. He wasn&rsquo;t sure what she was doing, but he just assumed he caught her in the bathroom. Eventually he heard hoofsteps down the hallway. &ldquo;Hey, sorry if I came here while you were in the-&rdquo; he stopped his sentence instantly as he saw that Sinuous was not the one walking down the hallway, but rather a unicorn with a rather beautifully kept mane. Her horn glowed for a moment and suddenly the lighting shifted and he saw her in full.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sorry to keep you waiting, dahling.&rdquo; came the very familiar voice of Rarity as she walked&hellip; no&hellip; sashayed closer to him.<br /><br />&ldquo;R-Rarity?! What are you doing&hellip; I mean&hellip; How did&hellip;&rdquo; Spike just fumbled over words as she walked closer and he saw that there was more to her than just being Rarity, but she had her lashes done, she was wearing eyeshadow, and wore cherry lipstick.<br /><br />&ldquo;You really are such a HANDSOME dragon, dahling. It&rsquo;s such a shame I never openly said so all those years ago.&rdquo; she said, though something was off, and it took a moment before Spike figured it out. The makeup was not &ldquo;perfect&rdquo;, the lipstick was slightly crooked and Rarity was&hellip; too young. He knew Rarity had put some lines on her face, but this Rarity was pristine as the day he first went to ponyville.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sinuous?&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;What are you doing?&rdquo; he asked, knowing it had to be his friend and that she was imitating what she saw in the photos he&rsquo;d shared with her. Her expression broke for a moment before she returned to the practiced and now rather fake performance.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why dahling, I&rsquo;m your Rarity tonight. There is no Sinuous here.&rdquo; she said, a flush crossing her face. Spike narrowed his eyes at her in a confused manner. She tried to keep the sultry expression on her face for a bit longer before she began to blush and became embarrassed and then completely broke character. &ldquo;Oh, I&rsquo;m sorry! You said you liked-&rdquo; there was a flash of green flame and instead of Rarity before him, it was Gabby the griffon.<br /><br />&ldquo;What-&rdquo; was all Spike got out before she started talking.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey there, Spikey! I&rsquo;m so glad you could make it over to my sleep over, but we&rsquo;re not going to get a lot of sleeping done, if you catch my drift!&rdquo; she said in an excited tone, but Spike hardly heard her words because she had forgotten that&hellip; she was still wearing the crooked lipstick, eyelashes, and eyeshadow, which was extremely obvious on a beak. His scrutinizing eyes made her smile fade and her acting break once more. <br /><br />&ldquo;Sinuous&hellip; I think you&rsquo;re forgetting that-&rdquo; he was cut off again by another flash of green fire and now standing before him was Dragon Lady Ember&hellip; with the lashes, eyeshadow, and crooked lipstick.<br /><br />&ldquo;Allright, dragons don&rsquo;t do foreplay, so spread those legs and let me see if you&rsquo;re worthy of-&rdquo; this time Spike interrupted, standing up and towering over her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sinuous, snap out of it!&rdquo; he barked at her. Her guise broke instantly and her knees wobbled before there was another green flash, the lighting in the room returned to it&rsquo;s normal brightness, and the crimson changeling stood before him, her teeth grit as she looked at him and tried not to cry out of sheer embarrassment. She sat on the spot and hung her head.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m&hellip; I&rsquo;m sorry. I didn&rsquo;t mean to&hellip; I&hellip;&rdquo; she started to turn to run down the hallway, but Spike had too many years of experience to let her run off and leave this unresolve, so he grabbed her and pulled her to sit on the couch with him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nu-uh, you&rsquo;re going to sit here with me and talk.&rdquo; he said in a strict tone before he put a hand under her chin and made her look him in the eye. &ldquo;Just like we always do.&rdquo; he said, a charming smile returning to his face. Sinuous just leaned forward onto him and he hugged her in response as she began to cry. He just let her, slowly stroking the back of her head until her crying abated and her breathing returned to a more or less normal pattern, at which point he gently let go of her and let her sit back. Her eyeshadow was smudge, as was the lipstick and one of the lashes had fallen off.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; I just&hellip; I wanted tonight to be special. I mean, I know it&rsquo;s only been two months but&hellip; I like you, Spike.&rdquo; she said, looking somewhat mournfully at him. This time, Spike blushed as he finally registered all the things she had said, the lighting, the makeup, and the overnight excuse. Spike was quiet a moment, perhaps a bit longer than he wanted to be, but he finally spoke up.<br /><br />&ldquo;So, you wanted to seduce me as one of my old friends?&rdquo; he asked, just making sure he knew her plan.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;I just wanted to make sure I was irresistible to you.&rdquo; she said in a strained tone. &ldquo;I wanted to make sure that if I risked our friendship being broken, I should just use the form of someone you had mentioned you had at least some interest in. I didn&rsquo;t want to upset you or make it weird&hellip; but I did exactly that&hellip;&rdquo; she said as she hung her head and while it was softer, she began crying again. Spike was quiet again before she felt him stand up and walk away and her heart hammered hard in her chest. She knew she was going to hear that front door open and slam shut, then she&rsquo;d never see him again. She couldn&rsquo;t look up. She wanted her last memory of him to be that expression of him smiling at her. She couldn&rsquo;t let it be an expression of rage or just his back. However, the door never slammed. In fact, it never opened and she soon felt the couch deform again as he sat back down and lifted her head up and she dared to look at him, only to find his smiling face again.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t believe you forgot.&rdquo; he said. She blinked only for him to bring a moist cloth up to her face and start scrubbing it. &ldquo;You didn&rsquo;t need to be Rarity or Gabby or Ember. You didn&rsquo;t need these fake eyelashes,&rdquo; he removed the flimsily attached lashes. &ldquo;Eye shadow,&rdquo; he coaxed her to shut one eye as he scrubbed it, then the other. &ldquo;Or this lipstick.&rdquo; he said as he rubbed her lips clean and set the cloth on the table next to him. &ldquo;You only ever needed to be you&hellip; Since I like you for who you are, not who you can pretend to be.&rdquo; She slowly began to smile before she chuckled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-yeah, that really was silly of me.&rdquo; she said, swallowing and breathing a little more calmly. &ldquo;I shouldn&rsquo;t have tried to hide again&hellip; I should have just told you that I L&hellip; L&hellip; Love you.&rdquo; she strained out. Spike blushed as she spoke those words and swallowed.<br /><br />&ldquo;L-love? Are you sure it&rsquo;s not just a crush? Th-that you won&rsquo;t feel the same way after a while?&rdquo; he said, his voice now taking it&rsquo;s turn to waver.<br /><br />&ldquo;I thought about that. But&hellip; I&hellip; I think I fell in l-l-love with you the second time you came for a visit&hellip; My day revolves around you, I make all my plans around you, and it&rsquo;s not like I ignore you or have you serve me or do chores&hellip; We talk, we play games, share hobbies, tell stories&hellip; And I wanted to&hellip; do more with you.&rdquo; She said softly.<br /><br />&ldquo;M-more&hellip; like-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Like kissing&hellip; like&hellip; getting intimate&hellip;&rdquo; she said softer, getting her face a little closer to his own, but she stopped, not wanting to scare him or push something he didn&rsquo;t want. &ldquo;If&hellip; if you don&rsquo;t want to go that far&hellip; I&rsquo;d like you to tell me right now, because I&hellip; I really can&rsquo;t hold these feelings for you anymore&hellip;&rdquo; Sinuous was worried that she dropped too much on him all at once, but had to get this out. Spike looked around nervously before he looked at her again. He looked into her crimson eyes, the faded lighter part being her equivalent of pupils as she looked intently at him and all he could see was&hellip; Someone who cared about him for who he is. Not what he did, not his reputation, but the person he is.<br /><br />&ldquo;I think&hellip;&rdquo; he swallowed but then gently grasped Sinuous, pulling her into his lap. &ldquo;That maybe&hellip; this is what needs to happen.&rdquo; he said as he continued looking into her eyes. He could feel her heart thrumming hard as her chest pressed to his and she leaned her face closer, her lips puckering as her eyes lidded and finally, her lips touched his own. Her whole form shuddered and soon, she melted into the feeling as she felt Spike return it, his body likewise softening as he stroked her back. This kiss felt so natural. Nothing fell apart, no one chided them, it was just the two of them enjoying it. As he stroked her back, he cupped her rump, and at first she wiggled into his strong hands, but then she froze, breaking the kiss and freezing his hands with her magic.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-wait&hellip; Spike&hellip; Are you sure you&hellip; want me as&hellip; myself?&rdquo; she asked. Spike was puzzled. &ldquo;Because&hellip; well, changelings are not like griffons or ponies or dragons. We&rsquo;re&hellip; different and&hellip; many books talk about how scary or creepy we are there&hellip;&rdquo; she said. Spike was still puzzled and spoke.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you know you could&hellip; well&hellip; successfully&hellip; do it with a dragon like me&hellip; then why is it weird?&rdquo; he asked. She looked down for a moment before she gently used her magic to move the fingers of his right hand to touch her lips. Spike swallowed as he had seen mare and griffon rumps a plenty but this was the first time he&rsquo;d actually touched someone intimately. He felt her control his fingers, stroking her moist, soft, hot lips, then she slid one of his fingers inside. Oh how amazing that felt; silky soft warmness all around&hellip; Then he felt &ldquo;it&rdquo; as he felt something &ldquo;grip&rdquo; his finger. It didn&rsquo;t hurt, but even though she stopped controlling him with her magic, he found he couldn&rsquo;t pull out. &ldquo;What the&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s something female changelings have. We can hold our partners in us&hellip; stimulate them more&hellip; or even hurt them if we don&rsquo;t want them as a partner. It looks creepy to most ponies&hellip; it&rsquo;s&hellip; kinda why I tried to be somepony else.&rdquo; She looked away again, but he used his free hand to make her look at him again as he kissed her on the lips once more before he pulled back.<br /><br />&ldquo;If I&rsquo;m going to be with you, I want to be with all of you.&rdquo; he said, though he flushed a moment. &ldquo;But uh&hellip; little warning&hellip; I&hellip; haven&rsquo;t actually done this before.&rdquo; Sinuous gave him a blank look before she blinked, freeing his finger. <br /><br />&ldquo;Wait&hellip; you really haven&rsquo;t been with anypony before? Not even one night stands?&rdquo; she asked and Spike nodded. <br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah&hellip; if it wasn&rsquo;t honest love, then I didn&rsquo;t want to do it.&rdquo; he said. Sinuous just smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, guess that makes two of us.&rdquo; she said as Spike looked at her. &ldquo;I, uh&hellip; have a toy or two&hellip; but&hellip; um&hellip; never had a real one.&rdquo; she gave a nervous giggle. Spike smiled a bit and swallowed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, I guess it&rsquo;s a good thing we have all night because&hellip; uh, well&hellip; I really don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;ll be able to last for my first time. I&rsquo;m liable to kinda explode right away&hellip; or so I&rsquo;ve read can happen.&rdquo; he said, rubbing his head bashfully.<br /><br />&ldquo;The sleep over idea was actually to kinda work out these kinks&hellip; and just have fun. I want to be calm and secure with you&hellip; just as I want you to be calm and secure with me.&rdquo; They smiled at one another before she felt something warm pressing against her rump and she quickly looked over her shoulder to see his firm, textured, slightly purplish shaft jutting up behind her. She grinned and fluttered her wings, doing an expert backflip out of his lap and onto the floor in front of him before walking back up to look at what Spike had to offer. He fidgeted slightly in his seat as she got close to him, prompting her to speak. &ldquo;May I touch it?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-yeah, just be gentle. It doesn&rsquo;t bend much.&rdquo; she nodded before her attention was focused on his shaft jutting from a part in his groin scales. It was meaty and had a sort of rippling waves to it with a prominent triangular head. A head that Sinuous recalled reading about, meant to coax a female dragon to let him inside of her. She leaned even closer to it, watching as it bobbed in time with his heartbeat, a drop of fluid present at the tip. She slowly pressed her snout against it and Spike groaned. She coaxed another groan out of him as she ran her lips along the underside, but when she gave the middle underside a gentle kiss, the length gave a much more firm twitch and a single rope of clear fluid shot out of it. She blinked a moment.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow&hellip; you really are excited&hellip;&rdquo; she said, smiling and swallowing as she looked at him. &ldquo;Me too&hellip;&rdquo; Spike was blushing but he smiled and stood up. He could see her legs jitter and she turned her back to him, but her elegant tail was pulled down. &ldquo;I&hellip; I don&rsquo;t know if you&rsquo;ll still want to do it if you see me back there&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If I&rsquo;m going to be your lover, I&rsquo;m going to see it eventually. After all, how bad could it be?&rdquo; he asked as he knelt down behind her and placed a hand on her rump.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t ask that question&hellip;&rdquo; she said. Spike watched her head hang low before her tail raised up. It seemed mostly like a mare with the tight ring of her rump and the fleshy wide lips. He gently placed his thumbs on either side of her lips, trembling as he did so, before he pulled the wet lips apart in a rather erotic squishing sound, strings of her juices reaching from one internal wall to another. He still didn&rsquo;t see anything weird at first, until she winked her clitoris. As he looked at it, he suddenly saw three pairs of long, finger-like structures all coming from the floor of her vagina just behind her clitoris. They opened and closed in a wave like motion, even bending, and at that point he could see the little claw tips they had. It was unusual, that was for sure.<br /><br />&ldquo;And these claws are used for when someone tries to force you into sex?&rdquo; he asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Or keep them inside me longer&hellip; I once held a toy in me for an entire day.&rdquo; she said with a weak chuckle. She heard him shift and stand up and she quickly looked over her shoulder, wondering if he was going to stop&hellip; before he suddenly showed her his hand. She looked at his palm a moment, then at his face.<br /><br />&ldquo;You see these hands? These claws?&rdquo; he asked. She nodded, confused. &ldquo;Just about every day, my sensitive flesh meets these hands and I&rsquo;ve never once been hurt by them. So I trust you.&rdquo; he said. She shivered and hadn&rsquo;t quite noticed it, but she had squared her hips and set her legs apart.<br /><br />&ldquo;Please&hellip; I can tell you&rsquo;re close&hellip; I&hellip; I want it in me. Even if it&rsquo;s fast.&rdquo; she pleaded.<br /><br />&ldquo;But, what about-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been taking contraceptives for the past week&hellip; So please&hellip;&rdquo; she asked, her expression literally begging him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Okay&hellip; I hope I don&rsquo;t hurt you so&hellip; tell me if you need me to stop.&rdquo; he said as he gently grasped her hips in both hands. She shuddered under him and at first he thought she was scared, and maybe she was, but the floor was greeted by spilling drops of her juices from her lips. He swallowed hard, looking down as he angled his hips and gently touched the head to her lips, the heat from the contact making him spurt another jet on her, which in turn made her wink at him. He pressed a bit more firmly and watched and felt as the head slipped between her folds and&hellip; he didn&rsquo;t even notice the claws as he was bathed in a very hot, very soft embrace. He slowly pushed more into her but felt some sticky resistance and pulled back, seeing his length glossy with her juices, before he tried to push back into her, getting deeper before he pulled back and did it again. Sinuous was breathing in deep, slow breaths that were getting more and more uneasy. Spike&rsquo;s instincts overtook him and made him push harder than normal to get the last bit of his shaft in her, his muscular hips pressing to her rump, every inch of himself inside of her. He somewhat doubled over her back, hugging her body, which he soon found was vibrating.<br /><br />&ldquo;Unnnng!&rdquo; Sinuous let out a decidedly un-lady like groan before he suddenly felt&nbsp;&nbsp;a firm tightening around the base of his sensitive shaft, but also her insides in general were much more tense. &ldquo;SPIIIIIIIKE!&rdquo; she let out in a shrill tone as she grit her teeth in a very strained yet pleased expression as she vibrated harshly under him, her insides suddenly clamping on him in full before pulsing in a firm, rhythmic throbbing while a fresh, hot wet wave soaked across his sensitive shaft before leaking out against his groin as she came very hard. Spike tried to ride out the incredibly erotic show she had put on while she also did near pure magic on his shaft. He was glad she gave him the okay earlier as a slight tug revealed she had ahold of him and would not let go, but the motion provided just a bit of needed friction on his shaft before he held her tighter.<br /><br />&ldquo;S-Sinuous, I&rsquo;m&hellip; it&rsquo;s cominNG!&rdquo; his words turned into a firm grunt as he shuddered behind her, his loins kicking and pulsing as great heat washed through him and shot out through his shaft into her. He felt more of those incredible contractions around him, complimenting his climax and the sensation of her warm, wet, comforting grasp seemed to make his climax work ever harder, as if his body was fearful it couldn&rsquo;t spill every single drop into his partner.<br /><br />They both remained there, shivering as their climaxes slowly abated. Sinuous looked back at him over her shoulder and he met her face as they breathed hard, but soon kissed as they remained together.<br /><br />Sinuous slightly began to weep, as did Spike as the two vented emotions they had denied expressing for so many years. Sinuous spoke first.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow&hellip; that felt so good&hellip; how about we take this into my bedroom. It&rsquo;s much easier to snuggle.&rdquo; she offered. Spike smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just let me go and lead the way.&rdquo; Sinuous smirked and took a step forward and Spike soon found she was still not letting go of him, although intentionally this time. <br /><br />&ldquo;Oh no you don&rsquo;t. You&rsquo;re staying in there.&rdquo; she said as she playfully stuck out her tongue at him. &ldquo;I said all night and I meant it!&rdquo; Spike gave a chuckle and began walking with her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes Ma&#039;am.&rdquo; he said as they hobbled into the bedroom to continue the first of many more nights they would share together.</span>",
