Sorry for the long wait but I've been busy like hell recently. All well, if anything the wait helped intensify your curiosity, however reserved it now may be.
So without further ado…
Begin!
The Fifth Day
It was the fifth day of my paralysis, I knew that.
It was the fifth day of my imprisonment within Celestia's chambers, I knew that too.
The fifth day of the week. A week that had been filled with nothing but pain, loss of pride and dignity…and as of that very day, a week that had brought about a desperation so strong that my thoughts were plagued with it, coated in its sickly grasp.
I realized it the moment I awoke…to a sensation of such pain that my eyes instantly began to sting with tears. My throat felt raw and dry, my mouth felt numb and chapped, and my body…my body felt cold, unbearably so, as if a harsh coating of frost had covered it in its entirety.
Naturally I responded to such a hurt in the only way I could, WOULD do at that moment in time.
With not a sound or thought or action that showed what I felt, was feeling so terribly in a constant cycle.
Pain, cold, desperation, silence. Pain, cold, desperation, silence…over and over until I felt about ready to cry, to wail my distress and agony like a new-born child.
But silent I stayed, motionless I remained…and as I opened my eyes and carefully gazed upon the steadily breathing form of my tyrannical ex-lover, a minute amount of pride flared from within the nigh empty pool it remained, pride because of my will…my strong will.
Pride…full once, all but gone now, because of her!
Merely thinking of it, of how she'd effortlessly brush aside anything I said and do whatever she wanted anyway…
My love…
My head pounded simply thinking about it.
But I would not give her the satisfaction of getting to me, not any more, no longer! I would bear the pain, the cold, the desperation until the week was done and the poison was out of my system.
My limbs would still be far too weak for me to move around as I once did, but with a little hope and a little willpower, I would do all I could to rid myself of the psychotic mare beside me and never return.
I only hoped that somehow…Chrysalis and Luna would find some way to understand why I left. I could try to explain what Celestia did to me but…but I knew deep down that the chance of my being believed was all but non-existent.
Still…I would try.
I have no training in resisting pain, but I am human! My kind fought its way to the top and I'll be damned if a little pain caused by a crazy equine manages to break me down!
That thought filled me up, repeated over and over until I couldn't stop grinning. The first natural grin I'd worn for a while.
But you love her, a small voice whispered, barely noticeable within my mind.
…
What…no, no I don't! Not after all she's done to me, I refuted angrily. Why on Earth would I love a mare who could and would easily wreck my life just to keep me with her?
So angry was I at the treacherous thought that I barely just noticed its reply.
Because you like what she's doing to you, don't you? it asked rhetorically. The way she mothers you and cares for your every need. The warmth of her coat against your terribly cold skin...ohh, can you feel it now? Feels good doesn't it?
I couldn't stop the flush that adorned my cheeks as I realized the cruel truth in its words, though whether embarrassed or angry I couldn't quite tell the two apart.
Shut up, I don't love her!
It's easy to think it to yourself, isn't it, the voice whispered once again. But could you think it directly? Could you look her in the eye and tell her that you love her no longer?
I've already done that! I replied stiffly, my previous happiness now long banished by the whisper.
You denied your relationship, not your love for her, it countered effortlessly. But by all means go on, tell her now. Wake her up and explain away your complete and total lack of love for her. Tell her that your heart is hers no longer and prove me wrong, go on, do it.
Fine! I all but snarled, my terribly shaky, terribly cold left hand weakly touching her face so as to wake her.
The swiftness in her awakening was rather sluggish for a bringer of the dawn. But…as she blearily blinked and looked at me, an open smile slowly forming upon her muzzle as she seemed to realize where my hand was, I felt my angry oncoming rant…waver slightly.
"Mhmm, what's the matter honey?" she asked, yawning softly, her left hoof gently stroking my cheek. "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"
Say it, the voice whispered. Go on, cause her pain, break her heart. Let her know that you love her no more. Let her know that you HATE her, that you DON'T need her anymore!
…
I thought so…
"Sweetie?" Celestia prodded, literally with the tip of her left wing. "Are you okay? You look a bit upset."
That's the understatement of the year…
Steeling myself nonetheless, I looked right into her rose coloured orbs and…and…
Didn't have a clue what to say. The doubt, that lingering, horrible doubt had confused me, messed with my thoughts so badly that I had not a single idea how to rant at her.
A wave of pain shook me out of my stupor, causing me to grit my teeth and hiss in agony. Celestia's expression swiftly changed into the epitome of unhappiness, her ears down and eyes hitting me with wave after wave of worry.
"The pain must be agonizing now," she muttered quietly, her eyes regarding me with concern at first…but then with...love. The warmth in her expression, the love that joined it…combined with the gentle, tender way her wings pulled me close, until her luxuriously soft coat was all I could feel.
She smiled her usual soft, inviting smile. One that promised safety and affection, one that promised everything would be alright. You can trust me, is what it said.
And yet again I was reminded of the absolute power this mare could have, and had, over practically everyone she met and ruled over.
I bet kids love her, I concluded bitterly, wincing and hoping against hope that the sudden lidding of her eyes was random and not because she heard me.
"Tobias," she whispered soothingly, her hot breath warming my left ear. "I know that yesterday shook you, I know that what I said scared you, and I know that both have strengthened your resolve against accepting my help, my love for you. But…"
Oh…my head.
She moved her head away from my ear and left it not a few inches in front of my face, her breath now covering the entirety of my mouth. And that smile, that…bloody smile. The one she gave me from the day we became friends, still so there on her muzzle.
"But I want you think, to really think of how long you can hold out against the pain."
Until this week is done and over with, I replied, surprisingly calm for how nervous I was inside.
"And what about the three extra weeks afterwards?"
…What?
What are you talking about? I asked, if not demanded. Fear tickling the edge of my thoughts. Both you and that doctor said that it only lasted up to a week. The time afterwards, I would just be recovering whatever the poison has withered away.
"True," Celestia agreed…with a sad glint in her eyes that I didn't very much care for. "But it won't be painless Tobias. In fact I'd imagine the drawn out nature of said recovery would make it more painful than what you feel now."
I paled at this quickly.
But the poison would be out of my system by then, wouldn't it? I asked, receiving nought but a curious glance in return. Without the poison there, you could use a spell to diminish the pain.
Celestia blinked at this in what seemed to be surprise, apparently startled at my reasoning. Or maybe just surprised that I came to that reason to begin with, I didn't really know.
"I…could," she agreed, eyes once warm narrowing in annoyance. "Certainly, I could…but I won't."
Personally, I was annoyed at myself for not seeing her response coming.
W-What, why?
Her trademark smile nowhere to be seen on her face, she looked right into my eyes with her own…her own dark, apathetic orbs.
"Because once I cast the spell, you'll leave me," she explained coldly, her tone nearly making me shiver. "Or you'll try to at least. Personally I don't think you would get any further than Ponyville before…well."
For the first time since she'd poisoned me, a cruel, arrogant smirk lay upon her muzzle as she gazed at me. Contrary to before, her eyes assured me no safety and warmth, but terrible things and dark promises.
"Before," she crooned, her voice velvety and…almost seductive. "You find yourself once again enveloped in my tender, loving hooves."
I would never willingly come back to you! I refuted firmly, glaring at her. At least now I realize who the 'real' Celestia is underneath that motherly façade you throw at your little sheep.
Celestia quirked an eyebrow up in amusement, real amusement. As if I had just said the funniest thing.
"Façade?" she echoed. "Oh Tobias, there is no façade. I do love my little ponies, as if they were my own children. It's just with you that I can…relax a little on it. With you I can be just a mare, a mare that loves you very much. A mare that loves you enough to do whatever it takes to show you that really…she's not a bad pony, she just wants to keep you close."
She leaned forward, talking still.
"All she wants, all she needs…is you, to love her, to care for her," she was but a breath away. "And to let…her…love…you."
Each of those last four words was crooned slowly, sultrily, until the last one was spoken and her lips were upon my own. Though weakened, I put my shaky hands on her barrel and pushed her away from me, much to her apparent shock if her expression was anything to go by.
But then she grinned a very feral grin, her eyes flashing and narrowing hungrily.
"A challenge is it my love?" she asked rhetorically, actually giggling as her entire body tensed. "Oh my, but I do love a challenge…and the prize."
My head throbbed with pain, shortly followed by every other limb pulsating angrily.
And before I could so much as blink, the seemingly feral alicorn quite literally pounced over me, the covers all but flying across the room from her strength alone. As if by instinct, my gaze was forced downwards onto her bigger than normal breasts.
I tore my eyes from them with supreme effort, one I'd previously thought lost…but unfortunately not in time to avoid being spotted by her keen gaze.
"What's the matter honey?" she purred slowly, grinning toothily down at me. "Are my girls too much for you to handle?"
Refusing to say anything, I instead glared up at the smug mare, ignoring the pain as I'd been doing for the past…something. Celestia's grin only seemed to widen further at my reaction, I could practically see the cogs spinning in her mind.
"Or do you find them unattractive?" she asked, pausing for a moment before nodding to herself and lying down…on me. "No matter, you can't see them now. So it's okay, right?"
It was most certainly NOT okay, and she bloody knew it. Whatever I felt towards the scheming mare was something my body and hormones found irrelevant as she crawled up, her body rubbing against my own. Something I was certain she knew as well.
And try as I did to fight against it, imagining all sorts of horrible images…
"Oh my, Tobias," the alabaster mare laughed, smirking innocently. "It seems I was mistaken, you DO like them after all."
I was only a guy.
Still smirking, the manipulative mare leaned down and licked my nose gently yet swiftly, innocently rubbing her lower body against my own.
"Would you like me to do something about that?" she asked, her voice barely more than a sultry whisper.
It was only with some sort of hidden effort that my reply was as quick and effective as it was.
No, I declined. In fact if you wouldn't mind getting off me to begin with, that'd be great thanks.
Apparently surprised by my words, Celestia blinked thrice and said nothing, her expression a mix of confusion and contemplation.
And then she smiled her all too familiar smile.
"Oh…are you sure?" she pushed, her voice seductive and low. "I could bring you to such pleasure…my love."
I…I was going to refuse and yell…demand she leave me be and then stay silent for as long as I possibly could. But…but the pain, the sheer amount of it, of how it hurt and burned every part of my body…
Maybe…maybe a little pleasure wasn't such a sacrifice. I mean even if it was coming from my poisoner, at least she cared…at least she loved me. Just thinking about it made me feel better…my headache calmed down at the very thought of it.
"All I want is to make you happy, Tobias," she explained softly, doe eyes loving and sincere. "And haven't I, if only in the small parts you allowed me? Haven't I shown just how willing I am to do whatever it takes to make you understand just how much I love you? Because I do Toby…I do love you, so very much."
Without any warning, she moved off of my mildly confused and heavily around body, moving herself onto her side with her face opposite mine.
"Let me show you now," she said tenderly, her eyes never leaving my own as she lifted her right hoof and gestured down to her breasts. "Please Tobias…I know you don't trust me as you once did and I don't blame you. But if you trust me in this one moment, I can show that you have no reason to be afraid."
My head aching with pain and disorder, I unwittingly followed her hoof down and looked her slightly enlarged, but otherwise normal teats.
"Drink my love," Celestia whispered lovingly, her warm breath coating my ear. "Let me take away your pain…"
I'm…I'm not sure…
Despite my doubt and reluctant thoughts, my body once again disregarded what I desired and, in but a few blinks, I found myself crawling down until I was but a few inches from them.
No more pain…
I moved closer and placed my mouth around one gently, narrowing my eyes as I considered if this really was truly worth the price…whatever it would be.
And yet this proved to be my undoing, for so lost in my thoughts as I was, I didn't realize my mouth moving by itself around the teat…and suckling tentatively.
Wait, n-no. What am I doing? I don't want-
Warm liquid quickly filled my mouth without warning, the sheer suddenness of it causing me to accidently swallow it down despite what I wanted.
It…didn't taste that bad. Actually, it was good…really good. The milk was thick and creamy, sweet as sugar and…and…
More…
But…I didn't want to…I didn't…
A large shadow darkened my sight for a moment, before I felt something ever so soft pressing against the back of my head, as if encouraging me…
"Go on my love," Celestia urged, her…wing pressing a slight more against my head. "It's okay, you can drink as much as you like. Drink until the pain ebbs away entirely…you'll thank me for it, I promise."
The pain…it was less than it was before, if only slightly. But then I'd only drank a small mouthful…so what was one more…
Thoughts clouded by what could only be instinct, I closed my eyes and sucked on the teat again, warm milk once more filling the inside of my mouth before it was swallowed quickly.
The pain's fading away…but too slowly, I need more.
Backed up by this thought, I sucked twice and smiled to myself as a bigger amount rapidly filled up my mouth. Once swallowed, the pain I felt faded away even more than before...and so I repeated it, over and over, taking a larger volume each time until I could feel…no pain at all.
The wing left my head as I moved off the teat, blinking slowly for a moment before looking back at it…and realizing that both were back to their original size.
I didn't think it worked like that…
"Tobias?"
At the calling of my name, I instinctively turned my head in its direction and found myself regarding a rather triumphant looking alicorn.
"How do you feel sweetie?" she asked, moving her body so as to lean on her right foreleg. "Is the pain gone?"
Yeah…it's gone.
Frowning at my simple reply, Celestia sat up and shimmied over to me, looking right into my eyes with a certain scrutiny.
"Tobias, are you okay?" she asked again, her breath tickling my senses briefly.
…
…
…
And then without a single warning, EVERYTHING I felt became consumed by a raw, powerful urge to…TO-
I blinked once, twice…and snarled like a mindless beast as I grabbed and threw a startled Celestia onto her back. Before she could utter a syllable, I moved atop her and kissed her savagely, ignoring the hooves scrapping against my chest as I thrust my tongue inside. Not a few seconds later a loud moan escaped her muzzle as I continued my rough ministrations, her own tongue suddenly brought to life as it danced and played against my own with abandon.
A sudden blinding light consumed my vision and near blinded me, unfortunately giving the mare beneath me ample time to roll me over, the now heavily panting alicorn glaring…and grinning down at me intensely.
"No inhibitions…good," she purred, before slamming her lips against my own and grinding her heavily aroused marehood against my length with no restraint. Unwilling to take any teasing in that moment, I snarled and pushed my lower body down against the bed, before thrusting up and into exactly where I wanted to be.
Giving no quarter, I pulled back out and slammed back in, over and over, uncaring of any exhaustion or pain my body sent to my brain. No, all that mattered was fucking my mare. Fucking, owning and dominating until her howling and snarling blocked out any thought, any words and anything except to fuck and be fucked.
Her glowing eyes widened in front of my own…and then without warning she roared like an animal and clenched her walls around my member, the sheer sensation of it all causing me to yell as the unrelenting mare dragged one mother of a powerful orgasm out of me.
Breaths…breathing…both breathing as we regain our senses…until yet another raw, powerful lust overcame my mind and body.
I rolled us over yet again and slammed my arousal inside her once again…
"More Toby! MORE!"
…
By the time it was over, the moon was shining bright through the balcony curtains. The cloud of unrefined lust I'd felt overcome my thoughts had left me, leaving nothing more than a very confused if not extremely satisfied human.
What just happened?
"Toby…"
A warm body touching my own pulled me out of my thoughts…lips touching lips shut them down entirely.
"Mhmm…that was wonderful my love," Celestia purred lovingly, stretching and laughing as she looked at my expression. "But when I said you'd thank me for it, I really didn't expect something so…intimate."
Thank her…I didn't though…I didn't want to…did I?
Celestia smiled and kissed me softly, continuing to kiss down before stopping and laying her head atop my chest.
"But then I guess it shows what you really feel," she sighed, nuzzling my chest affectionately. "And that's good…I cannot describe just how happy it makes me feel to know that you still love me."
…what?
I…still loved her? But…she poisoned me, I couldn't possibly…could I?
Was I really that much a fool? Was it foolish?
Do I really love her?
A warm feeling within my chest made any refusal I could think of…fade away.
I…I think I do, but…why?
Why?
Well…like I said, sorry about the wait. But here's a game for you!
Say what you think Celestia is up to in the comments. Whoever's right (You'll find out at the seventh day) will get asked their name and will find it in the story as it continues.
Cya, stay snuggly!
