Scent Sensual

Sanguine groaned lightly as he awoke, snuggling the warm form in his bed. The form was obviously Clover. While they had not mated, they both greatly enjoyed each other's presence, and for Sanguine; who could not dream, that meant so much to him to wake up to her. Her and her natural scent resembling lavender, which matched the color of her coat and eyes made him incredibly happy to wake up from his dark, dreamless slumber.

"Sanguine, you need to wake up." Clover whispered and kissed his eyes. "We both have important things to do you know." Clover wasn't just saying that, she had her duties to the Council, he had his duties in general, and they were both too important to put off.

"Five more minutes…." Sanguine didn't mean sleep; he wanted to keep snuggling his mare.

"No Sanguine, because it'll turn into 15 minutes, now get up you lazy stallion." Clover amusedly chided, before working her way out of his grasp, and out of the large bed.

Sanguine sighed. "I might as well, beings my reason to stay in bed has left it." Sanguine stood on his bed and stretched; Clover shamelessly watched him and hummed to herself. "Like what you see?"

"Always, now then have a good day Gwyn; I'm off to meet up with Platinum." Clover levitated her new cloak; a black and carmine silk cloak with intricate designs that Sanguine made for her, with guidance from Gareth, and put it on like she had with her old ratty brown cloak.

"Hold on, before you go; wasn't today the day Hurry said that both Twitch and Red would be available? I'm expecting Kali to return soon and I'd like to have my companions with me." Sanguine was getting antsy. It'd been over 14 days since he'd sent Kali home, and he was worried about being unprepared should Kali arrive before his companions do. He suspected that the only reason Kali hasn't warped back by now was because he was arranging things. Wow…who knew bureaucracy was inefficient for a reason?

"Oh yeah! Hurry did say that she expected Red to return by today. Corporal Twitch has been on leave in town since he got back two days ago, so he's ready, I'll send for you when Red Alert reports in." Clover then teleported, and the room became empty once more.

'This castle feels so empty without her here….' It had been a few days since Clover confessed her feelings and ever since then; she'd been staying at Everfree Castle. While they had not participated in coitus, they were more than happy with their current situation; both wishing to save intercourse for when they were married, and yes, they were certain they wanted to marry.

These feelings had been there for years; they just grew in the absence of the other, and burst down the door when they met back up. Sanguine sighed to let his light despair at her leaving for now out, and teleported to the lowest chamber of the castle to find a massive chamber spanning almost the whole bottom of the massive mountain-sized castle.

This chamber was well-lit, and was enchanted so heavily by Gareth that you would instantly assume you were outside. The floor was actually earth, covered in lush green grass. And filling the chamber in rows, from corner to corner, were trees; beautiful apple trees. They were all Cider Apple Trees, of the species he and Gareth had cultivated on recommendation from Smart Cookie.

The ceiling was a soft sky blue, with what looked like the sun shining from it, perfectly resembling the sky. All that was missing were clouds, but those were timed and came out in various amounts as needed by the plants. Needless to say; Gareth had far and away outdone himself in creating this perfect "greenhouse" that held the perfect conditions for the trees at a constant. This, along with many special enchantments, made the trees grow apples quickly, that didn't ferment until they left the branches, and fermented quickly so cider could be made.

It was Gareth's crowning achievement, alongside Everfree Castle itself. He was most proud of this chamber, even though he originally didn't want to do something like this out of respect for the trees. But he said the trees themselves loved the chamber and wished to stay, so he had no qualms of keeping them here now.

"Gareth! Where are you my dear friend?" Sanguine stood on his hind legs and leaned on a tree to reach his head up and sniff one of the apples. "Oh~ this smells so good. A sweet one you are."

"I HAVE ARRIVED!" Gareth spoke with the Royal Canterlot Voice whenever he said his favorite phrases, such as: IT SHALL BE DONE, I HAVE ARRIVED, and IT IS DONE!

"Ah! There you are! Gareth, how comes the first batch of my Night Cider?" Sanguine licked his lips at the idea of it turning out well. The reason he could ask that now, and not a few months later, is because he had Gareth enchant the fermenting barrels to accelerate the fermentation process, and would then stop it, and preserve it when at peak fermentation.

"For taste? Splendid. For the qualities you're specifically looking for…I fear it falls short. You used too little of the nightshade in this batch. I believe the fermentation denatures the toxicity of the berries, so try for a higher amount." Gareth could test the drinks safely, since as a Master Physic he could easily cure himself should the poison prove too powerful. Originally Sanguine wanted to test it himself, but Gareth refused to let that be, and insisted he do it.

"Drat…back to the alchemy lab then…I'll increase the amount but be careful and inform me if it gets to be too much. So it's just regular high-quality cider then?" At Sanguine's query; Gareth nodded. "Then go ahead and put it in unmarked bottles for circulation. Or if you like this batch, keep the specific formula and store a few bottles in the drink cellar upstairs."

"IT SHALL BE DONE!" Gareth warped away and Sanguine chuckled at his friend's antics.

(Hours later)

Sanguine was in his alchemy lab, working on the nightshade juice he was measuring for his Night Cider formula. He was contemplating possibly adding datura since it had similar hallucinogenic properties but thinking against it since the plant was profoundly bitter. And his Night Cider was supposed to be sweet, with just enough bitter and kick to feel like somepony bucked you in the muzzle.

"Sanguine." The stallion started at his marefriend's sudden appearance, and barely set the beaker filled with poison juice down before he turned to her. "Red Alert has returned, she and Corporal Twitch have been ordered to be ready to report to the council chamber."

"Clover, don't do that! You almost made me drop a whole day's worth of nightshade juice. My plants may be enchanted to grow quickly, but I don't want to overtax them should I run out of ingredients too fast." Sanguine sealed the beaker since the aroma of nightshade was slightly intoxicating in itself. "Well then let's…Clover?"

The mare had gotten very close to him, and was deeply breathing in his scent from his neck. "Wow…you smell like nightshade…." She spoke breathily before she nuzzled his neck and hummed.

"Um…Clover…I know nightshade is a very alluring scent but it isn't that intoxicating." Sanguine thought back on it, and was wondering if his mare simply loved the smell or if there was something else to it.

"You're not a mare Sanguine…it's mingling with your own natural scent and…wow…I'm feeling light-headed…." Clover continued to speak breathily and she nibbled his neck to Sanguine's surprise, making him flair out his wings.

"C-Clover we have important things to do! Surely making out could wait until tonight?" Her response was her pushing him over, and lying on him with a glazed look in her eyes. "Clover?"

"…Sorry…but that smell…it's driving me wild…you go on ahead, I'll nap it off in our room." Clover shook herself and slowly walked out of the lab. 'It's like an aphrodisiac…I hope I'm the only one that will be affected by it.'

Sanguine watched his marefriend leave before he got up and sniffed himself. "Well…I DO smell very nice…but it shouldn't send a mare into such an estrus-like state. I hope it's just Clover, there'd be hell if I should enamor every mare I come in contact with, especially since the council is composed entirely of mares."

(One Teleport Later)

Sanguine emerged from his burst of shadows into the council chamber once more, still unclothed in any regalia of any sort. In fact; today he was supposed to receive his crown and regalia, to give him the appearance a Prince should have, not that he truly cared anyhow, but he didn't want to give foreign dignitaries the wrong idea, so maybe it was best it got finished today before Kali and anyone he brings with him arrive.

"I am here, councilors. Clover brought me word that Red Alert and Twitch have arrived, yes?" Sanguine looked between the five mares who all nodded to him. "Then bring them here, I wish to meet them."

"Go fetch them would ya Pansy? I need to present our reports." Hurry asked Pansy who nodded, and flew outside. "Here's the written reports, sire. I'm kinda glad, yet miffed you demanded everything documented. Less talking I'll admit, but writing all those hurts my mouth."

Sanguine walked to her and looked over the documents, and due to him focusing on them he didn't notice Hurry become surprised of something, and start to take a deep whiff of him, while her wings began to erect. "Hm…thanks to the teleport stones Star Swirl has reconnected we've recovered much of our lost capital and…Hurricane?"

Sanguine felt the councilor touching his right wing and he turned to her only to flinch in surprise to see her eyes glazed, and her mouth lightly drooling. "Such…wings~…."

"Hurricane! I knew you were uncouth, but to so blatantly disrespect our Prince by touching him in such a way!" Platinum stood from her seat, and promptly trotted around the table to accost Hurry. "I know he's an attractive specimen but…but…." Platinum paused in surprise as she drew near and took a deep breath through her nose, which Sanguine noticed this time. "By…Faust…I…what…what a…beautiful horn~…."

"What're all ya'll gals doin'? Everypony knows that Clover n' Prince Sanguine are an item; what yer doin' is just foul!" Smart protested as she and Puddinghead approached to Sanguine's concern. "I mean really why are ya'll…." Smart took a sniff of the air around Sanguine and jerked away. "My…stars…Sanguine get…get outta here…you're doing somethin' ta…us…those…muscles…."

"Yeah! You'd better get out of here; from what I can tell, whatever you've been handling has made you so scent-sensational its sending mares into a light heat!" Puddinghead explained as the three mares started getting very invasive with their hooves.

"Why aren't you affected?" Sanguine asked curiously, as worried or not, they were just a few mares…hold on…Clover could push him down in a heated moment, and he was nearly thrice her size…uh-oh….

"Oh I'm affected~! I'm just more in control of the sensation since I'm bisexual. I can enjoy either sex's company so while you are getting me excited, I can repress it and redirect it." Puddinghead wiped some sweat from her brow as she panted lightly. "I'll occupy Hurry, you get out of here and I'll try to get things back in order."

"Thank you Pudding." Sanguine tried to teleport but…his casting of the spell was blocked by Platinum!

"You're not going anywhere you stud!" Platinum pounced as her horn shined a shimmering purple. She was casting a Null spell! It was tiring but she was casting a broad-ranged Null spell, which forced all magic in the area to be repressed for as long as the spell lasts. Usually it's an enchantment to handle Unicorn prisoners, but it has combat applications; such as preventing a magic-based assassination, or forcing Unicorns/Alicorns to be unable to teleport to escape!

"Yer not leavin' til all of us are tired and pantin' on the floor!" Smart jumped on his back and hugged his wings, so he couldn't fly out of Platinum's grasp on his neck, and by extension the room. "Get him Hurry! The rope's under our table!"

"Got it!" Hurry flew towards the Earth Pony table only for Puddinghead to pounce on her. "Puddinghead? What're you doing? He's gonna get away!" Hurry was silenced by Puddinghead kissing her deeply; Hurry didn't object, and quickly got into it with the pink mare.

"Thank you Pudding! Sorry ladies!" Sanguine grunted as he strained to open his wings and bucked Smart off his back, he then flew up, and pushed Platinum off his neck before he flew out one of the balconies. "This is insanity! Somehow my own scent has melded with nightshade to create an aphrodisiac! I know I spend an unusual amount of time with the plant but…oh…Faust…."

Sanguine had paused because Pansy was flying nearby with a deep red Pegasus mare with bright red short-cut mane/tail that had a war horn for a Cutie Mark; her burning orange eyes were piercing. Obviously this was Sergeant Red Alert; as discipline and seriousness bled from her very presence.

However it wasn't either of the mares that had Sanguine at a loss for words. With the two mares was a dark grey Pegasus stallion who was…big. Built like an Earth Pony and just shy of Sanguine in size, Corporal Twitch had a rich green spikey mane/tail that seemed to be futilely pulled into a sense of shape by his armor bands, and his wings were broad and strong, resembling Sanguine's own even. All that detracted from his presence was the fact that his amber eyes seemed to have minds of their own, and looked every-which-way without any sense of control.

"Greetings Sire! I am Sergeant Red Alert, and this giant bag of feathers next to me is Corporal Twitchy Hooves. We are reporting for duty as demanded." Red was…wow…a real…forgive the language: bitch. Although it was military standard, Sanguine found her extremely off-putting, especially with how she talked down to Twitch like that without hesitation or remorse. "Sire…this might seem…unbecoming but…might I ask what…cologne you're wearing? It's…making me rather…odd…."

'Ah, so there is a mare in there, and not just a stone heart.' "I am in a…situation. It would seem that something from my alchemy table has caused my very scent to become a sort of airborne aphrodisiac. The Councilors have unfortunately…devolved into a state of estrus at the moment, and as such are quite…unapproachable by me for now, lest I invite a brutal herd mating…." At the mention of the situation, Pansy and Red quickly moved away to avoid becoming sex-crazed mares while Twitch flinched. "Anyhow, you two may instead report directly to my castle. Do you see that small mountain in the forest?"

Sanguine pointed out towards Everfree and the "mountain" in it. Everfree Castle was enchanted with an illusion to make anywhere outside Everfree just see the mountain that was once there. "Fly there; you'll understand where you need to be as you approach."

"THERE HE IS!" Sanguine cringed as he heard Hurry shout, so he quickly dove and the rainbow streak blasted past where he was. "Not this time stud!"

"Twitch! To me!" Sanguine ordered in a panic and Twitch, impressively, intercepted Hurry with a fierce, yet controlled, body check; throwing the commander off course and forcing her to make a landing. Sanguine tried to teleport, but he growled at his magic still being ineffective as he turned towards the council building to see Platinum waving to him energetically, her spell still active. "There's no way I'm escaping them by flight, not with Hurry free from Pudding…where is she anyhow?"

Elsewhere, Puddinghead was getting it on with a Unicorn intern.

"Sire, I had to survive the last estrus cycle when I mislabeled my calendar, I have a suggestion." Twitch flew up to Sanguine and whispered into his ear.

"Really? That's all I can do? But you'll help right?" Sanguine looked to his new friend, which he decided upon simply knowing the lengths Twitch was willing to help him by.

Twitch sighed before gulping and nodding. "I'll…I'll occupy Commander Hurricane…I'm not sure what she'll do when she comes out of it but I'll keep her off your back."

"You're a good soldier Twitch! I'll do something to return the favor soon enough!" Sanguine dove into the quickly growing city, as already cut stone was now being imported from the abandoned towns and castles in the Frozen North through the teleport stones.

"Get back here!" Hurry was about to launch after Sanguine but Twitch tackled her to the ground. "Corporal! Get off! I command you!"

"Sorry ma'am! But I have higher orders!" Twitch replied with his voice cracking slightly as Hurry slowly gave up and appraised Twitch.

"Well~…you ARE the biggest Pegasus I've ever met…does that count for between the thighs?" Hurry asked with a lustful expression and tone and Twitch gulped as he lamented what he had to do.

"Y-yes…it does…."

(With Sanguine)

'I acknowledge your sacrifice and will honor you in favor.' Sanguine dramatically lamented the fate of his guard, left in the hooves of the fastest mare in Equestria…he didn't envy how tired Twitch will be later. 'I'm worried, is this permanent? I've been handling nightshade for years; it was my preferred method of "dealing" with enemies or living monsters I had no desire to test myself against. I have been noticing mares sniffing around me more and more over time…hm…perhaps my ascension and recent return to nightshade has caused this somehow?'

Sanguine pondered as he hid on the roof of a random home. More and more buildings were being converted to proper stone with street plans and everything. The perimeter walls were being made first, being as grand as the walls that surrounded the castle-town of Platinum Palace…likely it was being taken from there.

"Hi!"

"Gah~!" Sanguine jolted in shock at the sudden Puddinghead-like appearance of a purple mare with poofy light purple Puddinghead-like mane/tail, and her eyes were such a dark purple they almost blended with her pupils, making her eyes seem bigger, but her velvet red spectacles pinched to her face helped distract from that. On her flank was a Cutie Mark of what seemed to be a pink falling star with lighter pink flames. "Who are you?"

"I'm Pink Surprise! But my friends call me Pinks! I kinda sensed you were at a loss for what to do, so I'm here to give you a hand!" The energetic Unicorn was practically a purple version of Puddinghead…what's a hand?

"Um…yes, that's a very…Generous thing of you to offer…what's a hand?" Sanguine asked in confusion before he shook his head. "Sorry, but you won't be able to help me, I'm kinda accidentally-."

"Sending mares into estrus! Which, might I say, is a very enviable position from my perspective." Pink wagged her eyebrows as she sat next to him and elbowed him jokingly.

"Wait…you're not going to go crazy and try to jump my bones too are you?" Sanguine asked the purple-hued Puddinghead-like unicorn mare only for her to smirk at him.

"My Prince, you'd have to be a mare for me to be interested like that." Pink wagged her eyebrows again and Sanguine sighed in relief. "I'll admit, you're doing something for sure, but I'm not getting attracted to you…just that Smart Cookie mare over there~." Sanguine looked where Pink was pointing down in the streets, and saw the orange mare looking around frantically; probably hunting him down.

"Oh…well then…I think you could help me. As your Prince; I command you to…distract her." Sanguine smirked deviously and Pink smirked devilishly back.

"Oh~ you can count on that sire." Pink then literally bounced away towards the orange mare, even jumping clear off the three-story stone home and proceeding to literally drag Smart away.

"Ok, Hurry and Smart have been neutralized…all that's left is-."

"Darling~!"

"*GULP* Platinum…." Sanguine spun around to see Platinum STILL casting the Null spell…how strong are her magic reserves?! "Platinum…calm yourself…."

"No! As a Princess, it is my duty to copulate with a Prince! The fact that you're so~ well sculpted in every way, well; that's a definite plus~." Platinum licked her lips as she slowly walked towards Sanguine, who knew that while he could fly away, he'd still have Platinum tailing him somehow; he had to handle this right here.

"Platinum…I'm not sure if you will remember this but…forgive me." Sanguine lurched at her and…crossed horns with her. "Ugh…."

"Ah~!" Sanguine had forced a large quantity of his aura into Platinum, who was experiencing the mental equivalent of ecstasy, before she passed out and laid on the roof, twitching.

That was one of the few things Null spells couldn't stop for a Unicorn: direct magic. Touch-based magic was very out of practice for most schools of magic outside certain areas of the Physic schools such as healing and molding spells. But what he just did was essentially a "mind-rape" spell. By touch with the skull or horn of a living creature, one could imprint a false memory or experience, and having had amazing intercourse with somepony being one such possible false memory/experience.

"Truly sorry for violating your mind like that Platinum, but I have things to do and I need to add suppressing my scent to that list." Sanguine groaned as he felt his magic return, but jumped with a start at the sound of a familiar voice.

"Sanguine Shadowmane!" Sanguine spun around in terror at the voice of his marefriend. "You should have listened to those alchemy safety lessons from Star Swirl! Now look what's become of your negligence!" Clover trotted up to him, still on the same roof of the big three-story home.

"Clover! Stay back! You'll-!"

"Devolve into a sex-crazy mare? Yeah, got it, figured that out. I'm you're marefriend though; I'm SUPPOSED to think of you that way! So that's why until just earlier I realized what was wrong. All of your magic and interacting with nightshade so in-depth without any proper precautions; has laced your very being with the essence of Deadly Nightshade." Clover explained suddenly and Sanguine snapped out of his worry for Clover, and started worrying for himself.

"Wait…I'm essentially a mobile, and sentient form of Deadly Nightshade? But that means I'm poisonous doesn't it?" Sanguine raised a hoof to his face and licked it. "Hm…I do taste good…that is unusual."

"Yes, that is not good. We'll have to do tests to make sure you're not sterile, go through extensive medical examinations to ensure you're not dangerous beyond your deadly attractiveness, and also what…ingestion of your bodily fluids will do…." Clover said the last one with a body-wide blush, and great embarrassment: since there was only really one logical way to test that….

Sanguine joined her blush and gulped in incredible nervousness. "Um…but…we…uh…." Sanguine wasn't saying he wasn't interested, because oh~ was he interested. He was more worried about rushing their relationship too fast, or possibly hurting her if he himself was now a deadly poison.

"Don't worry. Although it will be even more awkward…I've arranged to have Gareth remotely monitor our status to ensure that if something dangerous is happening, then he can quickly stop us and prevent damage." Clover coughed into a hoof, before quickly rushing him and hugging him to smell his neck deeply. "Oh~…I needed that to help lower my inhibitions…even if we can mask that, I do NOT want it to go away if possible."

Sanguine smirked as he leaned down and whispered into her left ear. "Then let this Nightshade…linger in your heart, dance about your mind, and leave you a beautiful wreck~."

Clover felt a sharp pleasurable spike shoot down her spine when he ended that incredibly hot sentence with a nibble to her ear. "Now! We're going now!" Clover teleported them back to Everfree Castle.

However, for everypony else who was affected by the "Deadly Handsome Stallion", it was an embarrassing series of events best left unsaid, but hinted at.

Needless to say; there was much enjoyment.

(Author Notes)

*Pinks is standing next to a hospital bed, sadly looking at the comatose Game, who is currently in a light coma from asphyxiation via mare-hug; otherwise called CBM: Coma By Mare.* "Oh Game…I'm so sorry…oh…hello there. Welcome to the Notes…kinda depressing in here right now, but as his Beta, I will not fail him!" *Pinks warps to the blank Notes room from the hospital* "Since Game is out of commission for an unknown period of time, I need guests! First: Corporal Twitch!"

*suddenly, the dark grey Pegasus falls from the ceiling as if it wasn't there, and crashes headfirst into the floor.* What? Where…have I been summoned to some sort of extra-dimensional plane again? *Twitch asked as he simply got up and had his free-moving eyes scan around without him moving his head.*

"Yeppers! Hi! I'm Pink Surprise! But my friends call me Pinks!"

You…kinda introduced yourself earlier in the chapter already Pink.

"*LE GASP* You're aware of your existence as a fictional character without needing explanation? I mean really; that was just to Sanguine, so how did you know about that?"

I know about it, because I can know about it. Fictional is a term given to something that is considered false or impossible. I'm here, standing before you, fully aware of my existence. As far as I'm concerned, I'm as real as I think I am. *Twitch turns to the reader, his eyes focusing for once rather creepily* So as you read this, I am as real to you as you are to me. Think about that.

"Ow…uh…Twitch; why are you so smart? You didn't seem this intelligent in the chapter. Morally upstanding, and self-sacrificing yes, but not this smart."

I know when to listen, and when it's better to be quiet. I may be klutzy, wall-eyed, and danger-prone; but I know more than most ponies. It's not really because I'm smart or anything, it's because I have the patience to listen. If we're quite done, I kinda need to get back to my reality. I don't want to risk time moving differently between here and Equestria.

"Uh…sure…guess I didn't really need to ask you about that curse or anything…." *Pinks grumbles as she pouts*

No need; its part of my character development, so you'll hear about it in the story. *Twitch then spreads his wings and flies through the ceiling back to Equestria.*

"Oh he's good! Next time…Lesbo Dash! I mean Rainbow Dash!" *blushes lightly*
