OSTFRIESEN CASTLE - MARY'S QUARTERS

----------------------------------------------

Mary lounges in her bed, lazing the day away. She should probably be out and about on an Equestrian holiday, but meh

Icicle Gleam comes to a stop just outside of Mary's quarters, looking especially cheerful. A flat box rests on his back, nondescript beyond a single decorative ribbon holding it closed. Resting on top of the box are a couple of what look to be roses. With a small grin, he lifts a hoof and knocks, not even considering the idea that Mary might be out at the moment.

Mary remotely opens the door, moving slightly to face it. "Come in~"

Icicle Gleam smiles warmly as the door opens up. He waves happily. "Hey there, Mary!"

Mary perks up a little. "Oh? Coming by for some royal booty, Gleam~?"

Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit as he steps into Mary's quarters with a soft smile. He shakes his head a bit as he nudges the door closed behind him. "Not this time, actually." He winks after a moment, "Though, I won't say no if things go that way."

Mary chuckles. "I'm a little out of sorts today, so...I don't mind having a visit rather than a visitation~"

Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit as he moves closer to the bed. "Not feeling all that hot today, Mary?"

Mary peeks out from the covers at the edge of the bed. "Just a little bit...off my game, if you will..."

Icicle Gleam leans over to give Mary a gentle kiss on her forehead before stepping back with a small smile. "Well... maybe I can try to brighten up your day a bit, then."

Mary notices the box on Gleam's back and blinks. "Oh? What's that there?"

Icicle Gleam hums quietly, carefully slipping the box and roses off of his back and placing them onto the bed just in front of Mary. "Just a little something that I think is even more appropriate, since you're feeling a little off, Mary." He smiles a bit more warmly, "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day."

Mary blinks, then blushes. "A-ah...you shouldn't have..."

Mary 's expression softens as she bites a petal off one of the roses.

Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit. "I figured... I'm always stopping by for some fun in bed with you, and because that time we spent together on Hearth's Warming Eve was really enjoyable, that I should take the opportunity to be more..." He trails off as he tries to find a word, "To be more caring."

Mary chuckles. "It is much appreciated. I don't really get this kind of attention often..."

Icicle Gleam sighs a bit and sits down just in front of the bed, still smiling softly despite the bit of surprise in his eyes. "Really? I'm surprised, Mary. I would have thought you'd be getting a lot of this kind of attention."

Mary: Well, I tend to get love letters full of empty words and promises. I used to like them...centuries ago, that is.

Icicle Gleam nods a bit. "I guess over the years, those sort of lose their meaning, huh...?" He hums quietly as he gives Mary a gentle nuzzle, "I wanted to do something a little more personal for you."

Mary chuckles as the bites off another rose petal. "Edibles. Always certain to warm a mare's heart~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as well. "And, if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to spend the day with you."

Mary smiles, a rose petal still in her mouth. "I'd like that, Gleam~"

Icicle Gleam smiles a little more brightly as he leans in to carefully clamp onto the other end of the petal with his mouth. "Then that's exactly what I'll do~"

Mary leans into a kiss joined by the rose petal, then steals the whole thing for herself.

Icicle Gleam hums into the kiss, willingly letting go of the rose petal when he feels Mary trying to snag it. He pulls back with a warm grin. "Did you have any plans for today, Mary?"

Mary: Just lazing around. I did what I could to promote Hearts and Hooves in Ostfriesen last year, and now I have nothing to do while everypony celebrates it...

Icicle Gleam rests his chin on the edge of the bed, a rather soft expression on his face as he watches Mary. "Then maybe we should fix that. You should be able to enjoy it with somepony as well, rather than spending it all alone."

Mary smiles as she slowly removes the ribbon from the box. "Then...thank you, for coming by. I wonder what's in here...?"

Icicle Gleam smiles again as the ribbon on the box falls away. "Just a little something I thought you might enjoy. A variety of chocolates and such." He chuckles a bit, "I know it's not much, but... well, I wasn't sure of what else to get for you that'd carry the same sentiment."

Mary sniffs the chocolates, taking in the sweet, earthy scent of cacao. "Mmm...are these truffles...?"

Icicle Gleam nods happily. "Yeah. I asked the chocolatier to put a few of each kind of chocolate into the box." He tilts his head curiously, "I'm guessing you like truffles a lot, Mary?"

Mary chuckles. "Truffles are smooth and complicated, like me~

Icicle Gleam winks playfully. "And don't forget delicious to nibble on as well, just like you~" He chuckles after a moment, "Well, I know what to get for you the next time I want to surprise you~"

Mary nibbles on a truffle, savoring the rich, dark flavor. "Mmm~"

Mary: What kind of chocolates do you like, Gleam?

Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully. "Mm... I like chocolate in general, but I think I'm more partial to the dark chocolates... and anything with a smooth, creamy filling."

Mary sniffs at the chocolates, then offers a specific one to Gleam. "How about this one? Orange dark chocolate."

Icicle Gleam curiously sniffs the chocolate before carefully plucking it from Mary's grasp. "It smells pretty nice." He looks back at Mary for a moment, "Are you sure you don't want it?"

Mary smiles. "Rather, I'm sure you want it. Go ahead~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles. "How about we split it, then~? We each get one half." He smiles and raises the chocolate to his mouth, where he carefully holds the treat in his teeth.

Mary chuckles as she leans forward. "How very sneaky~"

Mary leans forward and takes the other half of the chocolate in her teeth, her lips barely touching Gleam's.

Icicle Gleam slowly bites down on his half of the chocolate, letting his lips barely brush against Mary's.

Mary hums as she claims her half of the chocolate. "Mmm...orange~"

Icicle Gleam smiles contentedly at the flavor of the treat as he rolls it around in his mouth. "It tastes as nice as it smells~"

Mary savors the chocolate as it slowly melts away. "Mmm~"

Icicle Gleam hums quietly, his eyes drifting slowly shut as the chocolate's flavor starts making him feel comfortably warm. "Mmm-mm~..."

Mary: "So what do you normally do on days like today...?"

Icicle Gleam swallows his bite of chocolate before answering. "Well... I like to take whoever I'm seeing out to a nice dinner, or something similar. Something to two of us can enjoy together."

Mary: A dinner, hm...?

Mary sucks on the chocolate some more, seeming to ponder something.

Mary: You didn't just get in bed with them and go to town?

Icicle Gleam blushes a bit and shakes his head. "No... I like to show I care through other gestures, outside of a roll in the hay." He smiles a bit, "Something a bit more substantial than a simple letter, of course."

Mary: So...food works for that...?

Icicle Gleam shrugs slightly. "Food, a show, even just a nice, quiet walk together. Whatever we both would enjoy doing together."

Mary tries not to suggest the obvious, instead saying. "You wanna get under the covers? We could snuggle..."

Icicle Gleam smiles softly. "That sounds like fun, Mary. And maybe we could take in a dinner later this evening, for just the two of us." He hums quietly and stands up again, "I'm content to just spend the day with you, however we might do it."

Mary pats the spot next to her. "Come on, then. I won't bite~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and climbs up onto the bed, being careful to not jostle Mary too much. He starts to wiggle his way under the sheets. "I guess that means you're saving it for later, hm~?" He chuckles and gives Mary a nuzzle as he settles down.

Mary chuckles and gives Gleam a kiss on the cheek as he settles next to her. "Possibly~"

Icicle Gleam hums warmly and smiles a little more brightly. "Sounds like fun~." He gently returns the kiss and slips a soft, warm wing over Mary's back, "Is there anything else that you wanted to do before evening, and the ensuing fun, rolls around, though?"

Mary snuggles closer to Gleam. "Hmm...we could watch a movie...?"

Icicle Gleam nods. "A movie sounds good. Do you have any favorites?"

Mary: I have a lot...What kind of movies do you like?

Icicle Gleam: All sorts, really... Romance, comedy, high fantasy...

Mary floats a box over to the bed and sorts through the tapes inside. "Hmmm...no...no...definitely not that one..."

Icicle Gleam curiously leans over and peeks over the rim of the box. "Wow, that's a lot of tapes... I'm guessing that's not the only box you have?"

Mary blushes as she hurriedly moves a few specific tapes to the bottom of the box. "Ah...I have quite a few..."

Icicle Gleam doesn't quite take notice of Mary's purposeful shifting of the tapes. "I guess it's like books, isn't it? Over the years, they really start to stack up."

Mary laughs nervously. "Ehe...I guess they do~"

Icicle Gleam hums curiously. "Hm~? Are you alright, Mary?"

Mary: I'm fine, I'm fine~!

Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit as he rests a hoof on the box's rim. "Well, alright. Would you like some help looking for a movie to watch?"

Mary: Ah...s-sure...

Icicle Gleam shifts a bit closer to Mary as he peers into the box again, his hoof slipping into the pile of tapes within. "Heh... I think you have more tapes than I do books."

Mary chuckles nervously. "Just pick whatever you think looks interesting..."

Icicle Gleam starts to rummage through the box, being careful to treat the tapes with care as he digs. Every so often, he pauses and looks at the title of a tape or two. After a little while, he's pulled out a couple of tapes, but is still searching. "Hm... How come some of these don't have labels, Mary?"

Mary: Oh, um...They're...mine.

Mary fidgets with the edge of the blanket.

Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit, but he doesn't seem too curious at the moment. "Yours? Hm... well, anyway..." He extracts a third tape and shows them to Mary, smiling slightly, "Here, these three sound pretty interesting. What do you think?"

Mary barely has to read the titles of the other two tapes before pointing to the one on the left. "Viridian Blade and the Expedition of Peril. Definitely."

Icicle Gleam nods, his smile growing a bit as he sets the other two tapes back into the box. "That does sound pretty exciting."

Mary breathes a short sigh of relief as the other two tapes go back in the box.

Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully as he holds up the tape. "I wouldn't be surprised if this was more exciting than anything related to Daring Do."

Mary chuckles as she rolls the TV over in front of them. "Ostfriesian films are always top-quality~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and pops the tape into the player. "Then let's get this show started!" He pauses for a moment, then looks at Mary with a little smirk, "Unless we want to snack on something aside from the chocolate, anyway."

Mary: Popcorn? Hmmm...

Mary 's horn glows, and some sounds can be heard from the kitchen area.

Icicle Gleam glances towards the kitchen, chuckling under his breath. "Your private kitchen really does have everything, I see." He smiles at Mary, "Though, I probably shouldn't be surprised after seeing your private bath."

Mary chuckles. "There's nothing sexy in there, though...Popcorn is almost ready~"

Icicle Gleam gives Mary a playful kiss on the cheek. "There could be, if we went in there~" He chuckles after a moment and sniffs a bit as the aroma of freshly-popped popcorn begins to fill the air, "Mm~... smells good!"

Mary soon floats a large bowl of popcorn back to their spot on the bed. "Buttered up and ready to go~"

Icicle Gleam hums in appreciation of the popcorn's scent as he hits the play button on the player. "A big bowl of popcorn, a good movie, and somepony to snuggle up with. I'll say we're ready~"

Mary presses play on the movie...which immediately opens with a sex scene over the opening credits. "Ehe...Ostfriesen cinema..."

Icicle Gleam blinks and starts in surprise. "Woah! I, um... wasn't expecting that."

Mary chuckles. "Heh...well...Viridian is a bit of a player~"

Icicle Gleam clears his throat as he regains his composure after such a saucy surprise. "Apparently, if a movie starts off like that..."

Narrator: Soldiers suddenly burst into Viridian's bedroom and arrest her. The stallion she was with tries to fight back...but he was already cuffed to the bed.

Mary breathes a sigh of relief. "Ah good, it wasn't THAT kind of movie. If it was, the soldiers would have joined in."

Icicle Gleam laughs a bit. "Well, at least that means we get to enjoy the movie." He tilts his head a bit as he watches the initial scene unfold, "Though... Viridian is still in a really bad position... no armor, no weapons, against armed soldiers..."

Mary chuckles. "Yep. Straight to jail~"

Narrator: The next scene has Viridian tumbling into a jail cell and the door slamming shut. An older pony who seems to know her begins to taunt her from the other side.

Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully. "She's weathering those taunts pretty well. I'm guessing she's biding her time before her escape?"

Narrator: The older pony spends a little while trading barbs with Viridian, proving that there is a bit of bad blood between the two. Once the pony gives Viridian one last triumphant sneer and walks away, she begins to plan out her means of escape from the prison using whatever she has at her disposal.

Mary snuggles closer to Gleam as Viridian sneaks past the guards, even knocking a couple out when necessary. "Hehe...she's so sexy~"

Icicle Gleam leans against Mary and wraps his wing a little more snugly around her back as the two watch Viridian carefully making her way to the exterior of the prison. "She's definitely alluring."

Narrator: With the prison behind her, Viridian heads to the academy to meet up with her reliable companions. She chews out the bespectacled one for letting word of her more dubious exploits reach the authorities.

Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit as he watches the bespectacled pony fumbling with their words in response. "Hehe... alluring, and with a rather sharp tongue, too..."

Narrator: Viridian and her group of companions quickly start to formulate a plan of action, spending what looks to be a couple of hours deliberating before one of the older, gruffer ponies in the group suggests that evading the soldiers should be their top priority right now, regardless of circumstances.

Mary munches on some popcorn, giving Gleam a look. "You're thinking she's slept with all of them, huh~?"

Icicle Gleam smirks at Mary as he reaches for the popcorn. "Not necessarily all of them. Though at least some of them, if they know her well enough to let such a thing slip."

Mary hums. "Well, you ought to know, the one with the glasses wants her~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit. "I kinda feel sorry for them, now, getting chewed out by Viridian like that."

Mary: He tries his best~

Narrator: Viridian manages to depart town with her group, but not before finding a cryptic note among their gear. It hints at a treasure to be found in some far-off ruins.

Icicle Gleam munches on a bit of popcorn and smiles. "Well, I guess we'll see if he gets lucky towards the end~"

Narrator: The group slowly put some distance between themselves and the soldiers in the town before allowing themselves to relax a little. Now that the matter of escape is no longer at the forefront of the group's minds, Viridian decides to try and decipher the note with help from the others.

Mary cheers quietly as the companion with the glasses manages to find the key to deciphering the clue.

Icicle Gleam can't help but grin a bit as the stallion helps Viridian quickly solve the clue. "Heh, he's putting all of his brainpower into helping her, it seems."

Mary: And now the real adventure begins!

Narrator: Viridian and her party drive out to the ruins in a jeep, but they find that there are some military vehicles already there.

Icicle Gleam frowns a bit as the group's jeep grounds to a stop a little ways away from the ruins, Viridian having seen the vehicles ahead. "Uh oh... that can't be good. I hope they're ready for some trouble."

Mary chuckles as Viridian brandishes her sword. "They're always ready for trouble~"

Icicle Gleam blinks as the rest of the group begins to ready their weapons, obviously preparing for a battle. "Wow, no kidding..."

Mary: You can't have an action movie without action~

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he shifts a little against Mary, making himself a little more comfortable. "Of course!" He perks up as the group storms the ruins from what they figure is the weakest point, "Oh! And there they go!"

Narrator: Viridian is quick to silence the first couple of guards the group comes across, with one of the older ponies catching a third, and the stallion with the glasses taking down a fourth, all before the alarm can get tripped.

Mary: She had enough of stealth in the first part of the movie~

Icicle Gleam: I'm sure she really wants to get back at the soldiers for that first section.

Narrator: Viridian and her team quickly make their way to the inner sanctum of the ruins, where her acquaintance from the prison stands waiting.

Icicle Gleam: Ooh, time for a showdown, I think!

Mary: And now it comes full circle~

Mary nibbles on Gleam's ear.

Icicle Gleam hums quietly and flicks his ear a bit at the nibble. "Full circle, indeed... I wonder what sort of tricks her opponent has." He sighs quietly and gently nuzzles Mary.

Narrator: Viridian's acquaintance brandishes his own sword and proceeds to taunt her again, just like back in the prison. This time, however, Viridian cuts her acquaintance off by throwing a knife at him. The stallion blocks the knife effortlessly and continues trying to goad Viridian into attacking first.

Mary: Heh, there they go. This is a showdown, now!

Icicle Gleam sits up a bit straighter. "Oh, looks like Viridian and her group is getting ready!"

Mary: Time to kick some ass~

Narrator: Viridian rushes forward to clash swords with her acquaintance, but he seems to cast some sort of magic that creates a dark wall. The rest of her crew are halted in their tracks, separated from their leader.

Icicle Gleam shivers a bit. "Uh oh... Viridian's alone, now..."

Mary: And the bad guy's glowing purple~

Narrator: Viridian's acquaintance draws a small, golden artifact from within the folds of his outfit and treats her to a chilling grin as he explains the power the artifact bestows upon it's holder. Frantic shouts can be heard from Viridian's companions on the other side of the wall, but it seems to be them trying to penetrate the veil of magic, rather than them being in any danger.

Narrator: Viridian charges headlong into her foe, but she is easily batted aside by a burst of black magic. As she picks herself up off the ground, black spectres rise up around her.

Icicle Gleam really seems to be enjoying the movie as he unconsciously tenses up when Viridian gets surrounded. "I wonder how she's going to get through this one..."

Narrator: The spectres continue to encircle Viridian as the latter warily watches as many as she's able to. She slowly pivots on the spot, clearly straining all of her senses as she waits for the first opportunity to escape from this dangerous position.

Mary munches popcorn, stuffing her mouth to avoid blurting out any spoilers.

Narrator: An evil laugh echoes through the now-dark chamber as the spectres begin to swoop down at Viridian one by one. She as able to dodge most of them, but they begin to wear her down quickly.

Narrator: Viridian continues to dodge this way and that in an effort to avoid the spectres as best as she's able to, but with every dive, it's clear that her endurance is waning dangerously. She slowly starts to acquire bruises and scratches as more and more attacks begin to find their mark.

Icicle Gleam shivers a bit. "She can't keep dodging like that for long... She's got to start fighting back, soon, right?"

Mary mmfs in affirmation.

Narrator: The scene cuts to the companion with the glasses at the other side of the wall. He tries to think of a plan, at the urging of the others.

Icicle Gleam stuffs a bit of popcorn into his mouth, leaning a little more against Mary as he watches the action with rapt attention.

Narrator: The bespectacled stallion furrows his brow as he gazes at the wall of magic, then begins to walk alongside it, running a probing hoof over the solid surface as though he's searching for something. He mutters seemingly nonsensical words under his breath as he paces back and forth in front of his companions.

Mary whispers to Gleam. "He's kind of a genius~"

Icicle Gleam nods a bit and whispers back. "If he's able to break that wall, I'll bet he is."

Narrator: He finally stops and picks up a rock, aiming a blow at a certain part of the wall. The companions leap to action as he smashes a hole in the barrier with one blow.

Icicle Gleam blinks in surprise, though a small grin appears on his face. "And here comes to cavalry!"

Narrator: The companions break through the barrier just in time to see a battered and bruised Viridian clamber back up onto her hooves. Upon seeing her friends, a glint of steely resolve seems to flare up in Viridian's eyes, and she turns to face her acquaintance with renewed strength.

Narrator: The dark spectres redirect their attention to Viridian's companions, and the two forces clash explosively.

Icicle Gleam can't help but cheer a bit. "And here we go again!"

Mary chuckles. "Friends can always overcome dark magic~"

Icicle Gleam hums, grinning as he shifts a bit against Mary's side. "The special bonds they share can really work wonders sometimes."

Narrator: Viridian's gaze remains locked on her acquaintance even as her companions engage the spectres in battle. Confident that they'll come out victorious, she prepares to engage her opponent in battle once again.

Narrator: Viridian's foe growls and rushes forward to clash swords with her again. This time they seem to be fighting on equal ground, despite Viridian's wounds.

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly. "Looks like Viridian took the gloves off..."

Mary chuckles. "He's made her angry~"

Narrator: Viridian appears to be angry indeed as she weathers her opponent's assault, her face contorted into a snarl. Slowly, she begins to gain ground. At the same time, her companions seem to be faring decently against the spectres, making the most of their ability to divide or focus their attention as necessary.

Narrator: Viridian's foe attempts to draw on more of the power of the ruins, but the surge of dark magic makes his eyes go blank. He disengages from Viridian and lets out a sinister, echoing laugh.

Icicle Gleam hums quietly, watching the scene with interest. "Looks like Viridian pushed him a little too far just now..."

Narrator: Viridian's expression loses it's edge as she draws up short and hesitates, uncertain as to what's happening. The laugh causes her to visibly shiver, and her companions to pause in their battle to look towards the pair. The pony in the glasses stiffens and shouts for Viridian to start moving again.

Narrator: The pony who was formerly Viridian's acquaintance begins to float in the air, surrounded by a black mist.

Narrator: Viridian stands still for several moments before her companion's shout seems to shock her into action again, and she quickly moves towards her friends, no longer wanting to be separated from them for the moment.

Narrator: The floaing pony releases a massive burst of magic force, causing the entire area to rumble. The rumbling does not cease, however, as the room begins to collapse around them. Viridian and the others decide to beat a hasty retreat, dodging falling debris on their way out.

Icicle Gleam continues to munch on the popcorn as the movie continues to grow more exciting. He shifts again and gently settles against Mary.

Mary nuzzles Gleam's cheek as the team makes their daring escape.

Narrator: The group manages to escape from the deeper reaches of the ruins, occasionally catching sight of soldiers that are also fleeing for their lives. Viridian and the others eventually slide to a stop when they reach a four-way intersection of hallways. Panic seems to ripple through the group as they try to quickly figure out which way to go.

Narrator: One of the paths is blocked off as a black mist approaches from that direction. Everyone looks to the bespectacled pony.Viridian huffs and follows her gut down the left path.

Narrator: Viridian's companions just glance at each other before hastily chasing after her, with the bespectacled pony in the lead.

Narrator: The group dodges all manner of falling debris as they struggle to stay ahead of the black mist, which seems to nip at their heels as it devours everything within it.

Narrator: Viridian urges her friends to move faster, as well as shouting out warnings for any traps that she happens to notice. An ominous rumbling causes Viridian to look over her shoulder during a peculiarly empty stretch of hallway.

Narrator: Viridian's nemesis, consumed by the dark magic, charges at them from within the mist. It snarls with killing intent as it rushes forth.

Narrator: Viridian immediately changes direction and starts running back up the hallway towards her former acquaintance. As she passes by her stunned friends, she yells for them to continue escaping while she holds this monster off. Her friends aren't having any of that, however, and whirl about to face Viridian's nemesis as a group.

Narrator: A pillar falls directly in front of Viridian, and she smacks into it face first. One of her companions blinks as she has an idea, then pulls out several explosives.

Narrator: The pony with the glasses cringes slightly as he pulls Viridian back from the pillar. With a bit of a shove and some strong words of caution, he pushes her to the back of the group before he goes to help set up the explosives on the pillar.

Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit as Viridian's former acquaintance draws closer to the group by the pillar. "What are they planning to do? Blow him up or something?"

Mary chuckles. "Something like that. Making the ruins fall faster could slow him down."

Mary: That...and the director decided the movie needed some big explosions~

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly as he pops a few more pieces of popcorn into his mouth. "Well, I guess it wouldn't be an action movie without a big finish. Though, it's been really exciting so far."

Narrator: The group quickly finishes setting up the explosives as Viridian finally shakes her head clear again. An ominous beeping sound fills the air as the timer on the bomb seems to tick down at an alarmingly high pace. Beyond the pillar, the withering mist cast by Viridian's former acquaintance draws closer and closer.

Narrator: Viridian and her group dart down the hallway at full speed, Viridian nearly losing her hat as she has to dodge even more falling debris than before. At the end of the corridor, a stone door seems to be slowly closing...

Mary chuckles. "This kind of scene is sort of a given in these movies."

Icicle Gleam hums as he watches the group making their desperate run down the final stretch of hallway as the temple collapses around them. "It's going to be a really close shave, isn't it?"

Narrator: Viridian's acquaintance seems to sense it's prey is about to get away, and it speeds up it's pursuit, enveloping the explosives in the mist. The beeping of the timer continues undiminished, however, ticking down to an impending firestorm. The group continues to dodge their way through the hall, past traps that have already been triggered, in their bid for freedom.

Narrator: A wall of fire joins the advancing mist as the bomb detonates and shakes the ruins. The group's run becomes a bit more panicked as the heat singes their tails.

Narrator: The pony with the glasses shouts at the group to get them moving faster. Meanwhile, up ahead, the stone door continues it's slow grind down, the opening only half as large as before.

Narrator: The pony in front of Viridian stumbles over a large piece of rubble. Viridian quickly picks her up as she swoops by and continues running at full speed.

Icicle Gleam leans against Mary and shifts his wing to hold her a little closer, though his attention is purely on the movie at the moment.

Narrator: As the group draws closer to the stone door, it quickly becomes apparent that they won't be able to run through unimpeded, and instead will be forced to slide under the door. Viridian shouts the idea at the rest of her friends, and they all put on an extra burst of speed so they can clear the opening in time. Behind them, a loud roar of anger echoes down the hall as the flames envelop Viridian's former acquaintance.

Narrator: One by one, the heroes all slide through the closing gap, leaving Viridian's hat behind. At the last second, Viridian's hoof reaches back under the door and grabs her hat.

Icicle Gleam chuckles. "Can't leave the hat behind, of course."

Mary: The hat is an adventurer's most important tool!

Narrator: The pony in the glasses waits for the door to fully shut, telling the others to get away just to be sure. Once it's sealed, he rests his hoof on the door, concentrates, and speaks several words in that same strange language as before. The stone seems to ripple slightly, and the pony winces as a dull thud emanates from the collapsed hall on the other side.

Narrator: The party lets out a collective sigh, then begin to distance themselves from the ruins. A few seconds later, the whole structure collapses in on itself, leaving a pile of rubble behind.

Narrator: Viridian sighs as she looks back at the collapsing ruins, equal parts relieved and disappointed. She jams her hat back onto her head as she begins apologizing to her friends for almost leading them to their deaths while silently grumbling to herself about the lack of retrievable artifacts from the now-destroyed structure.

Narrator: The bespectacled pony pulls a couple jewels out of his pocket in the next scene and presents them to Viridian. They look incredibly valuable.

Icicle Gleam tilts his head as the scene changes. "Wow, did he manage to find those in that temple they were just in...?"

Mary chuckles. "Who knows? Maybe he just held onto them for a long time as pocket ace~"

Narrator: Viridian gazes at the jewels, looking almost too stunned for words. She spends several long seconds just glancing between the jewels and her friend, trying, and failing, to say something in response.

Narrator: Her friend responds smoothly, suggesting they go out to dinner.

Narrator: Viridian nods in the affirmative, still looking rather dumbstruck at the sight of the jewels. She manages to find her voice after a little while, but she jumbles her words a bit, leaving no doubt that she's impressed by what her friend has just shown to her.

Narrator: The credits roll over their dinner date, which eventually progresses to Viridian dragging her date into the bedroom.

Icicle Gleam chuckles as the scene behind the credits draws to a close. "Well, it looks like he got what he wanted~" He can't help but smile a bit at the movie's resolution, "I wonder if it's going to stick through the sequels."

Mary: Heh, seems he knows the way to her heart quite well...or at least to her bed~

Mary: And just so you know, he gets the sex scene at the start of the next one~

Icicle Gleam hums quietly. "I have to say, that was a really good movie. I wouldn't mind seeing the sequel one day soon!"

Mary chuckles. "I'm glad you liked it. It's one of my favorites~"

Icicle Gleam smiles at Mary. "And if the sequels are as exciting as this one, it might just become a favorite of mine, too."

Mary chuckles. "It might go without saying, but the books have a lot more sex in them~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as well. "If it's based off of a book, I can imagine they'd have cut a few things out to shorten the length."

Mary hums as she ejects the video and puts it back in the box. "This was...really nice..."

Mary blushes a bit. "Thanks for stopping by..."

Icicle Gleam smiles warmly and gives Mary a gentle kiss on the snout. "You're very welcome, Mary... And thank you for making today really enjoyable for me."

Mary wraps a foreleg around Gleam and kisses him on the cheek. "You're very welcome, Gleam~"

Icicle Gleam hums happily, shifting his wing a little more snugly around Mary's back as he leans against her. "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Mary~"

Mary nuzzles under Gleam's chin. "Now that the movie is done...is there anything else you want to do...?"

Icicle Gleam gently rests his chin into Mary's mane, humming quietly as a subtle strawberry scent wafts over him. "Hmm... Dinner probably isn't on our minds, now that we've had some really good popcorn."

Mary: Perhaps we could go straight to dessert~

Icicle Gleam: Oh? What sort of dessert did you have in mind~?

Mary: Perhaps something...strawberry-flavored~

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly. "Strawberry is one of my most favorite flavors~"

Mary lightly nibbles Gleam's chin. "Strawberries...and cream~"

Icicle Gleam hums appreciatively at the nibble. "Sounds delicious, Mary~"

Mary winks at Gleam. "And we're already in the bed~. Will you start, or will I?"

Icicle Gleam grins at Mary. "Depends. Do you want to be on top to start, or on the bottom~?"

Mary smiles. "I think you deserve another turn on top, for treating me to such wonderful company~"

Icicle Gleam blushes a little as the saucy grin on his face fades slightly. "If you'd like, this isn't going to be the last time we can do something like this together." He chuckles a bit, "The movie thing, that is... since we kind of have a lot of fun in bed together as it is~"

Mary: Hehe...I'll be sure to pick out some others for us to watch~"

Icicle Gleam: "Mm... I think I'm going to like what you choose~" He winks as his grin slowly grows again, "But we can figure out what movies we'd like to watch later on... But, for now~..."

Icicle Gleam shifts a bit and leans over to give Mary a tender, but passionate kiss on the lips.

Mary leans into the kiss, pushing her tongue into Gleam's mouth. "Mmm~"

Icicle Gleam likewise leans into the kiss as he gives Mary's tongue easy access to his mouth. His tongue moves to twist and slide over Mary's, engaging it in a familiar, intimate dance.

Mary lets her tongue dance with Gleam's as she feels her body begin to heat up under the covers.

Icicle Gleam hums into the kiss as he starts to feel his body reacting to the warmth coursing through him. He shifts and wraps a foreleg around Mary's back as he gently starts trying to nudge her over onto her back. "Mmn~..."

Mary rolls over at the push without breaking the kiss, gently pulling Gleam on top of her.

Icicle Gleam continues to let his tongue twine around Mary's as the two move into a more comfortable position under the blankets. Once Mary is settled upon her back, he adjusts his hooves and lightly settles down on top of her, wrapping both wings around her in a feathery embrace.

Mary finally breaks the kiss and smiles up at Gleam. "You always know how to get me where you want me~"

Icicle Gleam sighs as the kiss breaks. He leans back a bit and smiles down at Mary. "I could say the same about you, too~"

Mary runs her hooves along the edges of Gleam's wings and chuckles. "Oh~?"

Icicle Gleam bites his lip as Mary's touch sends a ripple of sensitivity down his wings. The sensations seem to cause his legs to weaken a bit, but he remains braced on his hooves. "Nnh~... Y-yes~"

Mary continues to rub Gleam's wings. "It's a wonder they're still so sensitive~"

Icicle Gleam 's wings slowly begin to stiffen, though they remain wrapped around Mary. "That's... one part of me that isn't going to change at all, I think~"

Mary hums. "I'm still quite sensitive, too~"

Icicle Gleam leans over and gives Mary's neck a playful little lick as one of his forehooves drifts down towards her flank, where he starts to gently rub at the graceful lines of her cutie mark. "That's good to know, Mary~. But I wonder where you're most sensitive~"

Mary squirms as Gleam begins to tease her. "C-certainly not there~"

Icicle Gleam continues to slowly tease Mary's flank, a bit of a roguish smile on his face. "If not there, maybe somewhere else~?"

Mary chuckles. "You'll need something special to reach it~"

Icicle Gleam hums quietly as he gives Mary another little kiss before leaning up to whisper into her ear. "Something... long... thick... and hot~?"

Mary squirms in delight as the words tickle her ears. "Oooh, yes~~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he kisses Mary's ear. "I think I have just the thing for it, then~. It just needs a little extra... coaxing~"

Mary hums as she runs her hoof along Gleam's chest. "Coaxing, hmm~?"

Mary: How convenient~

Icicle Gleam hums quietly, arching an eyebrow as he grins down at Mary. "Oh~?"

Mary 's horn begins to glow, creating a pulsing field of magic around Gleam's crotch. "How about if we turn on this light~?"

Icicle Gleam 's eyes lose focus on Mary's face, and his back arches a bit in response to the magical stimulation. "A-aah~! Th-that might do it~!"

Mary chuckles and lets her spell continue. She pulls Gleam down into another kiss, hoping to coax him even more~

Icicle Gleam allows himself to be pulled into the kiss, his hoof trying to continue teasing Mary's flank with minor success. As the kiss draws on, however, his hoof stops it's movements and instead lightly grasps her leg as his pleasure builds. "Mmmn~~"

Mary squirms, rubbing her body against Gleam's to test his hardness. "Mmmh~"

Icicle Gleam jumps slightly as Mary's body presses against his underside, her coat rubbing against his partially extended length. His hips roll slightly as she slides her body against him, sending a zap of pleasure down his spine, and causing his grip on Mary's leg to tighten for a few moments.

Mary continues to rub against Gleam, already feeling her nethers getting a bit damp.

Icicle Gleam stifles a quiet moan as Mary's efforts quickly coax his stallionhood out of it's sheath and make it stiffen to it's full length. A small, glistening trail of precum starts to moisten Mary's coat as her magic and movements hit several of his more sensitive spots. "A-aah~... Mary~..."

Mary chuckles and nibbles Gleam's neck. "You like how that feels~?"

Icicle Gleam nods a bit and angles his ears back as he tries to concentrate enough to form an answer. His body continues to move in time with Mary's, further stimulating his shaft. "Y-yes~... I like it a lot~"

Mary: You can put it in whenever you want~

Icicle Gleam chuckles shakily. "K-keep rubbing me like this, Mary, and I might be... tempted to leave it out~"

Mary nips at Gleam's neck a little harder. "Perhaps you should apply that boldness to my dripping pussy~"

Icicle Gleam arches his neck at the nip, though not out of discomfort, and squirms slightly. "Well... when you put it that way~... How could I possibly say no~?"

Mary chuckles and spreads her hind legs, inviting Gleam in. "We;ve been in the same room for hours and we haven't screwed yet. Time to remedy that~"

Icicle Gleam shifts his hips backwards, drawing the head of his cock over Mary's body before letting it drop between her hind legs. "We'll make up for lost time, I'm sure~. But it was a fun way to build some tension, wasn't it~?"

Mary dispels the magic over Gleam's cock, leaving him with nothing but her. "Heh...I've been horny for the past hour~"

Icicle Gleam hums and shifts himself forward slightly as he gives Mary a kiss on her neck. The tip of his shaft presses against her nethers, slightly parting her moist lips before he pulls back again. "Something tells me the opening and closing scenes of that movie had something to do with it~"

Mary squirms a little as Gleam teases her entrance. "Mmmh, perhaps~...but that was tame compared to most of the tapes in that box~"

Icicle Gleam hums and gives Mary's moist nether lips another teasing prod as he resumes rubbing her flank. "Really, now~?"

Mary squirms again. "Mmhm~. In fact, the other one you had in your hoof was a recording of a threesome~"

Icicle Gleam blushes a bit more at the revelation. "O-oh, my~... I see~" He lightly presses his hips against Mary, the tip of his shaft just barely touching her entrance, and holds himself there for the moment.

Mary smiles, then begins to blush after a moment. "W-well...~?"

Icicle Gleam spends a few seconds just playfully rubbing the flat tip of his length against Mary, knowing full well what she means. "Yes~?"

Mary blushes a little more as she resists the urge to slide herself down. "Don't you want to...push it in~?"

Icicle Gleam hums in apparent appreciation, his own cheeks still flushed a rather vivid red in mirror to Mary's. "Mm~... I think I just might, Mary~"

Icicle Gleam winks. "But teasing you seems like so much fun right now, too~"

Mary: Nngh...even after I gave you that little massage~?

Icicle Gleam leans down to give Mary a kiss on the snout before smiling at her. "That's true, you did give me a nice massage~" He begins to tighten his grip on her hind leg as he gets a little more leverage, "Shall we go for a ride, then~?"

Mary nods and kisses Gleam's neck. "Better hold on tight~"

Icicle Gleam starts to shift forward at Mary's words, slowly parting her moist lips before the head of his shaft slips into her depths. After a few moments of pause, he begins to slide the rest of his thick length in as well, quietly panting as her warmth envelops him. "Don't worry, Mary. I'll be sure to hold on to you nice and tight~"

Mary takes a deep breath as Gleam pushes his way into her. "Mmmm~ and I'll hold you nice and tight, too~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he presses his chest against Mary, wanting to feel her warmth as much as possible. "Mm~... maybe we should tie ourselves together again~"

Mary chuckles as she holds Gleam close. "That might be interesting...but perhaps your hooves should be tied this time~"

Icicle Gleam wraps his free foreleg behind Mary's back and gives her a gentle nuzzle as he feels his hips press flush against her, his cock fully buried within her. "My hooves, hm~? That might be pretty fun~"

Mary squirms a little under Gleam, making herself a little more comfortable. "Perhaps on the next position~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he waits for Mary to finish shifting about. Once she's comfortable, he begins to roll his hips, slowly pumping his length in and out of her slit. He holds her gaze as he leans down to nibble her neck. "Mmn... perhaps~. I can't help but wonder what you have in mind, though~"

Mary hums as Gleam begins to thrust. "Maybe I could tie your wings too~"

Icicle Gleam flutters his wings a bit at Mary's suggestion, and his blush seems to deepen. "I'm liking your idea so far~"

Mary kisses Gleam's chin. "It'll be your reward if you can please me enough~"

Icicle Gleam leans up and gives Mary's horn a little kiss in turn. "Then I'd best give it my all~" He grins down at her and starts to quicken his thrusts bit by bit.

Mary moans a little as she starts to feel her pleasure build. "Ahh~...looks like I just gave you some motivation~~"

Icicle Gleam nuzzles Mary's neck as his pace continues to slowly build. "Nnh~... A little extra motivation is always nice~" He chuckles as he gives her warm coat a playful lick, "Though, I'd give you my best, regardless~"

Mary giggles as the lick tickles her neck. "Hehe...but I find you always perform better when I say you can put it in my butt after~"

Icicle Gleam settles into a nice, steady pace as he chuckles quietly. His hips slap quietly against Mary's with each slow, firm thrust. "Well, you do have a really cute butt, after all~" He winks, "So very spankable, too~"

Mary blushes a little at the thought of Gleam's spankings. "Only when I'm naughty~"

Icicle Gleam gives Mary another tender kiss on the snout. "And you can be very naughty sometimes~" He treats her to a warm smile as he lowers his voice, "Even when you're not, you still have a really cute butt~"

Mary 's face turns even redder. "What kind of pony are you, to flirt with a princess while plowing her~?"

Icicle Gleam speeds his thrusts up a bit at the mention of him plowing Mary, a rather saucy grin on his face. "The sort of pony that really likes seeing his princess blushing~"

Mary moans again as she feels the increase in speed. "Nnnh~...w-well your butt is cute, too! Especially with miss Doppelganger riding it~"

Icicle Gleam blushes again as a memory flashes across is mind. "It certainly did feel really nice~"

Mary boops Gleam on the nose. "Hehe, gotcha back~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles, then nibbles on Mary's hoof. "What a sneaky way to get me to blush, Mary~"

Mary chuckles. "You're the one who fell for it~"

Icicle Gleam grins as he decides to get back at Mary by making his thrusts a little more forceful. "Well, you got me good~" He tightens his embrace slightly as his thrusts start to rock Mary against the bed, "Let's see if I can return the favor~"

Mary gasps as Gleam begins to graze one of her sweet spots, intensifying her pleasure. "Haah~! This is sure to make me blush~"

Icicle Gleam stifles a moan as his faster pace sends several rough jolts of pleasure through his body. "Nnh~! Goo-ood~. It's a lovely look on you, Mary~"

Mary blushes again, true to her word. "S-so many compliments~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he sees Mary's cheeks reddening again. "And all with good reason~"

Mary moans again as a jolt of pleasure zips up her spine. "Aaah~! R-right there~~"

Icicle Gleam flicks his ears as he hears Mary's moan, then adjusts himself in an effort to find that sweet spot again. "Sounds I like just hit something really good~" He grins, then leans down to give her a deep, passionate kiss.

Mary moans into the kiss, squirming as Gleam hits her sweet spot again. "Mmmf~~"

Icicle Gleam slips his tongue forward and presses the tip against Mary's lips, seeking entry. His movements remain steady and forceful, rocking the alicorn against her bed with each thrust as he pumps his length in and out of her depths.

Mary pushes her tongue past Gleam's in an open-mouth kiss, engaging it in the usual greeting and familiar dance~

Icicle Gleam hums in wordless appreciation at the intimate kiss, letting their tongues twine together in their dance as his breath begins to mix with her's.

Mary brings her hoof around the back of Gleam's head and pulls him deeper into the kiss. She moans again, letting him know that he's still hitting all the right spots~

Icicle Gleam leans into the kiss, inadvertently making his thrusts deeper as his weight presses Mary into the bedsheets a little more. He continues to hold the kiss, his moans muffled by how firmly their lips are locked together.

Mary breaks the kiss and nuzzles into Gleam's mane, moaning as their hips press together.

Icicle Gleam lets out a quavering moan as he presses himself closer to Mary, the pleasure coursing through his body sending electric jolts up and down his spine with each thrust. He nuzzles into her neck as the scent of strawberries off of her fur entice him to continue his set pace.

Mary chuckles as she nibbles at Gleam's neck. "Mmh~ maybe this close position...is perfect for today~"

Icicle Gleam arches his neck a bit and hums before warmly smiling down at Mary. "I think so, too, Mary~" He chuckles, "A little less wild, a little more passionate... At least to start with~"

Mary hums, nuzzling Gleam's mane again. "I can always appreciate a little passion~"

Icicle Gleam leans over and gives Mary's neck a tender kiss as he slows his thrusts down just a bit. "A little passion is always a good thing, after all~"

Mary shifts her hooves behind Gleam's back, massaging between his wings. "It can be hard not to go overboard~"

Icicle Gleam hums in appreciation as his wings spread out a little more under Mary's hooves. "Mm~... Just a bit hard, yes~" He shivers slightly, a ripple rolling down his spine, "But really worth it, I think~"

Mary squirms a little, pulling Gleam close in her tight embrace. "I'm fine with it either way, whether wild or passionate or both~"

Icicle Gleam seems to enjoy the close contact, from the way he settles comfortably against Mary. "Then I guess we're lucky that we can cover all three~"

Mary hums softly in Gleam's ear. "I wonder if you can make me come with only your passion~?"

Icicle Gleam 's ear twitches as Mary's warm breath plays over it, and his heart seems to flutter slightly. He smiles softly and whispers back. "I can certainly try~" He kisses her on her chin, then places another on her neck with a quiet hum, "The fire between us will be burning bright, tonight~"

Mary: Mmh~, the fire is already pretty hot~"

Icicle Gleam starts to trace light, teasing kisses along Mary's neck and shoulder. "Mmm~... Think we can stand to make it hotter~?"

Mary chuckles. "I'm used to some pretty hot fires~"

Icicle Gleam leans up for a second to grin at Mary. "Then, in that case~..." He finishes his sentence by slowly shifting a hoof behind her head and gently pulling her into another deep kiss.

Mary hums into the kiss, slipping her tongue into Gleam's mouth for a second dance.

Icicle Gleam gladly invites Mary's tongue into his mouth, his tongue moving to greet her's before engaging in it's second dance. He hums quietly as he lowers his wings around Mary's form. "Mmh~..."

Mary presses her hooves into the center of Gleam's back, resuming her sensual massage. "Mmmh~"

Icicle Gleam 's thrusts start to slow down some more as Mary applies pressure to his back, but he makes up for the lack of speed with deepening motions, making each thrust long and deep. His wings descend a little further and press against Mary's wings, causing his feathers to rub against the leathery membranes.

Mary shivers as the feathers tickle her wings, and moans into the kiss to show her appreciation.

Icicle Gleam continues to let his wings gently rub against Mary's, the momentum of his thrusts being more than enough to provide a pleasant sensation. Mary's moan elicits a satisfied hum from him as he continues to hold his pace slow and steady.

Mary lets her body relax under Gleam's treatment as she continues to massage his back and tongue. "Mmnn~"

Icicle Gleam slides his tongue against Mary's as he leans his head back for the shortest of moments, just long enough for him to catch his breath, never completely breaking contact. A few moments later, he leans down again and continues with his passionate kiss. He shifts his hoof and carefully lowers Mary's head back onto the bed, where he begins to gently caress her cheek.

Mary lets out a muffled chuckle into the kiss as her head comes to rest on the sheets. She takes a deep breath through her nose, preparing herself for whatever Gleam has in store.

Icicle Gleam shifts his forelegs until they're resting on either side of Mary's shoulders but doesn't make any attempt to escape from her grasp, instead settling on bracing himself within her forelegs. Gently breaking the kiss again, he smiles almost lovingly at Mary as he begins to slowly speed his thrusts up once more.

Mary smiles up at Gleam, her cheeks beginning to flush again after their passionate kiss. "Mmn~...you're a good kisser~"

Icicle Gleam gives Mary a playful peck on the snout. "Why, thank you, Mary. That means a lot, coming from you~" He hums and smiles again as he settles his chest against Mary's, "You're really good at it, too~"

Mary playfully licks Gleam's snout. "Aw, thanks...and you're not doing too bad down there, either~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as Mary's tongue tickles his snout. "I have a really good incentive~"

Mary: As if doing it wasn't a reward in itself~

Icicle Gleam winks playfully. "Just because I've already gotten one reward doesn't mean I should stop doing my best~"

Mary tries to hold back a moan while she continues teasing Gleam. "Nn~...Maybe I'm the one being rewarded~"

Icicle Gleam: "Mm~... That's a possibility, for being such lovely company all day today~" His smile turns into a bit of a grin as he leans forward to nibble Mary's ear and quietly add, "Your reward is a passion-filled night with somepony who knows how to make you moan in pleasure~"

Mary squirms as the words bid more dirty thoughts to fill her mind. "Oh yes~"

Icicle Gleam 's own cheeks begin to tinge red as he continues to speak into Mary's ear in an undertone. "A night spent trying any positions that may take our fancy, and for however long you would like~" He hums and gives her ear a gentle kiss, "A fitting reward for a sexy princess, don't you think~?"

Mary begins to find it harder to restrain her moans. "Mm-mmhm~"

Icicle Gleam shifts down with a throaty chuckle, the subtle shift in control making him feel a little more bold as he begins to trace a series of kisses up from Mary's neck towards her chin. His hips continue to roll at a steady tempo, rocking the alicorn against the sheets each time their bodies press against each other.

Mary lets a moan slip out as a wave of pleasure zips up her spine. She tilts her head back, giving Gleam full access to her neck.

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he continues to lavish kisses upon Mary's neck, each one lingering for a few moments as he lets his breath tickle her sleek coat.

Mary arches her back as she feels a particularly potent burst of pleasure. "Hnnnh~...Aahh~~"

Icicle Gleam starts to intersperse the kisses with gentle nibbles as he explores Mary's neck and shoulders with his lips. His thrusts remain consistent though the steady motion occasionally forces out a quiet moan of pleasure from him. "Nnh~... Mmh~..."

Mary settles back onto the bed, moaning quietly as she gets used to the building pleasure. "Mmmh~..having fun, dear~?"

Icicle Gleam pauses in his kissing to look up at Mary, his face flushed with desire. He gives her a playful lick on the snout. "I sure am~. Are you enjoying it as much as my ears say you are, Mary~?"

Mary squirms, squeezing her lower muscles around Gleam's stallionhood. "Feel for yourself~"

Icicle Gleam 's whole body tenses up as a wave of pleasure rolls over him, momentarily bringing his movements to a halt. "A-aahh~... I-I guess that's a yes~"

Mary gives a saucy grin. "A hot, wet yes~"

Icicle Gleam returns the grin as he resumes rocking Mary against the bed. "I wonder just how much hotter and wetter I can make you~"

Icicle Gleam pauses, then hums thoughtfully. "Or should I keep that as a reward for later~?"

Mary chuckles as Gleam resumes his thrusting, this time joining in the rhythm with her own hip movements. "We'll have to keep going and find out~"

Icicle Gleam smiles at Mary and gives her another lingering kiss on the lips. "I like that idea~"

Mary hums into the kiss and lets one of her hooves drift to the edge of Gleam's wing. "Perhaps a little more encouragement~"

Icicle Gleam slowly quickens the pace of his thrusts again. This time, his attention is more focused upon Mary's face as he chuckles. "If you keep up the encouragement, we may end up going a bit wild~" He pauses to shiver in pleasure as he hits a sensitive spot, "Nnh~... or you might make me pop~"

Mary smiles up at Gleam, still stroking his wing. "Mmm, I wouldn't mind either of those~"

Icicle Gleam lightly bumps his nose up against Mary's and gazes at her, a bit of a playful glint in his eyes. "We could even do both, if you'd prefer~. We're nowhere near finished, anyway~" He winks, "It's Hearts and Hooves Day, after all. A day of love and long night of passion are a given~"

Mary chuckles. "Oh? I thought it was about nuzzles and brushies and sharing drinks~"

Icicle Gleam smirks at Mary. "I didn't say it doesn't include all of that, did I~?"

Mary: Aaand, watching movies together~

Icicle Gleam chuckles. "Watching movies together, a dinner date, anything we might enjoy~"

Mary smirks. "Of course, lots of sex is perfectly fine by me~!"

Icicle Gleam pecks Mary on the nose as a slight blush creeps onto his cheeks again. "And lots of sex is what I can give to you, if that's what you'd like~" He chuckles, "Though, I'd love to treat you to dinner, too~"

Mary can't help but laugh a little. "Sex...then dinner? Hah, this is better than the flirting earlier~"

Icicle Gleam blushes, having considered how silly that actually sounds.

Mary chuckles. "It's too bad I'm not the maid. Then sex would BE my dinner~"

Mary: My goodness, I would never go hungry!

Icicle Gleam hums as he nuzzles Mary's neck, then chuckles as a thought flashes across his mind. "You'd probably look really cute in a maid outfit, you know~"

Mary blushes a little. "Me? Dressed as a servant? How scandalous~!"

Icicle Gleam: And naughty~

Icicle Gleam starts to grind his hips against Mary's, letting his cock shift about within her depths, allowing it to prod and rub against various spots deep within. "You mentioned having a school teacher's outfit a while back, right~? I'm willing to bet you have a maid's outfit as well, for reasons~"

Mary moans a bit as Gleam plumbs her depths. "Nnh~...Why wouldn't I~?"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and nibbles Mary's neck again. "Hehe, I thought so~"

Mary hums, savoring the sensation of being filled up. "Mmm, of course, it's made for exactly this sort of thing~"

Icicle Gleam gives Mary's neck a kiss on the spot he just finished nibbling. "Maybe you'd like to show it to me later tonight~?"

Mary smiles. "We'll see~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly. "You can be such a tease, Mary~"

Icicle Gleam starts to speed up his thrusts again. "Well, let's save that for later, then~" He grins at Mary, "After all, you sounded as though you had something in mind after this round was over~"

Mary shifts her body, angling herself to that Gleam grazes a sweet spot. "Haa-aah~! J-just a few ropes is all~~"

Icicle Gleam wraps his forelegs a little tighter around Mary as his pace continues to quicken. "A... a few ropes, hm~? Sounds... nnh~... like fun~~"

Mary begins to pant for air as the pleasure becomes more intense. "Haa...and maybe...a collar, too~"

Icicle Gleam 's face begins to flush again, though whether from pleasure or Mary's suggestions, it's hard to tell. "Ahh... Th-that sounds... kinky~"

Mary smiles. "But the blindfold...we'll save for...ahh~~...for later~"

Icicle Gleam hums and grins. "We don't want to run out of things to do, after all~" He pauses to bite his lip as he feels the tip of his shaft slowly beginning to flare out, "Nnh~... I'm looking forward to later~~"

Mary moves her other hoof in order to stroke both of Gleam's wings. "This feels...mmmh~...so good~~"

Icicle Gleam 's wings quiver under Mary's hooves as her touch sends minute jolts of pleasure down into his body. He presses his body a little more firmly against Mary as his pleasure continues to mount ever higher. "Haa~... It d-does~~"

Mary leans up and kisses Gleam on the chin. "Mmm~...Don't you pop yet~"

Icicle Gleam slows his thrusts down a bit at Mary's words and replies in a voice thick with desire. "I can... k-keep going~. I'm not going to pop just yet~~"

Mary pants, matching Gleam's desire with her own. "Then...give me more~~"

Icicle Gleam starts to piston his hips against Mary faster than before, filling the air of her bedroom with a wet slapping sound as their hips smack together with each thrust. The flared head of his cock vigorously rubs against Mary from within, sweeping over every little bit of her that it can reach. "Gladly, Mary~~!"

Mary gasps as her pleasure quickly spikes from the quick thrusts. "Aa-aah~! G-give it to me~!"

Icicle Gleam 's feathers rustle against Mary's wings from the vigor in each thrust, his wings rubbing firmly against her's with every movement. He leans up, giving Mary another deep, passionate kiss as the pleasure flaring within his body continues to grow into a raging inferno. "I'll give you as much as you want, Mary~~"

Mary squeezes her eyes shut as her senses become overloaded with pleasure. "Mmm~...Ahhn~~...y-yes~~"

Icicle Gleam leans down to kiss and lick Mary's neck, his mind slowly being overrun by the heat of the moment. He whispers to Mary, his words perfectly clear in spite of the waves of pleasure crashing over him with each hard thrust of his hips. "I wonder... h-haa~... how hard I can make you come, Mary~~"

Mary shakily whispers back as Gleam drives her to the edge. "I'm thinking...mmh~~...pretty damn hard~~"

Icicle Gleam nuzzles Mary's cheek as his efforts slowly push him to the limit. "Goo-ood~... You're getting close, aren't you, Mary~~?"

Mary 's voice comes out buttery smooth. "Really...really close~"

Icicle Gleam hums as he slows his thrusts just enough to keep himself from going over the edge. He gives Mary a gentle kiss before grinning down at her. "Hnn~... Go on, Mary~... Cum for me; let me hear your screams of delight~~"

Mary buries her face in Gleam's mane as she gives in to the pleasure, letting him nudge her over the edge. Her climax crashes down, unleashing a torrent of bliss. She cries out in ecstacy, letting her parter know just how good it feels~

Icicle Gleam braces against Mary's spasming muscles for a few moments, wanting to listen to her voice raised in ecstasy for as long as he's able before giving himself over to the mind-numbing bliss of release. His voice joins with Mary's not long after as his restraint breaks, and he shoves his hips roughly against her's as he lets the first thick jet of his seed spill forth into her depths.

Mary squirms and moans as her climax draws on. She embraces Gleam again, pulling him as close as she can. "Mmm~~..."

Icicle Gleam is more than happy to nestle against Mary's body as he continues to gently rock her against the bed in time with each spurt of his seed. He nuzzles her cheek, giving her a kiss as he revels in the warmth of their bodies. "Aahh~... M-Mary~~..."

Mary leans up and gives Gleam a somewhat lighter kiss on the lips. "Mmh~...fantastic~"

Icicle Gleam settles atop Mary with a warm, contented smile on his face as he meets the kiss. "Mmn~... That was wonderful~"

Mary hums and nuzzles Gleam's chin. "I'm surprised we're still under the covers~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles, nestling his chin into Mary's mane as he gently wraps his forelegs around her shoulders. "It's toasty warm under here, now~"

Mary nibbles at Gleam's chin. "It's going to get a lot warmer soon~"

Icicle Gleam hums curiously as he gives Mary's horn a playful little lick. "Oh~? Why is that~?"

Mary 's horn glows for a moment, floating a black collar around Gleam's neck and fastening it. "Just a little hunch~"

Icicle Gleam starts blushing as the collar floats into view, then blushes even deeper as Mary fastens it into place. "O-oh, oh my~"

Mary smirks. "Just a little...proof of ownership~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he continues to gaze down at Mary. "...Maybe I should see about getting you a collar as well, later on~"

Mary chuckles. "We can't both be the master, silly~"

Icicle Gleam licks Mary's snout. "That's why I said later~"

Mary rolls to the side, bringing Gleam with her. "I'll give you a minute to get used to it~"

Icicle Gleam hums as he rolls with Mary onto his side. He smiles softly as he wiggles his neck a bit to let the collar settle comfortably. "It... doesn't feel much different from when I wear my goggles, really~..."

Mary kisses Gleam on the nose. "Hehe...goggles are cool too~"

Icicle Gleam smiles a little more warmly at the kiss, then takes a moment to return it with a gentle peck of his own. "So... what did you have in mind~?"

Mary pulls a couple coils of black rope from under her bed and sets them on the sheets. "Oh, you know, this and that~"

Icicle Gleam tries to conceal a bit of a grin as he glances between the ropes and Mary. "Sounds like it could be fun~" He chuckles as he shifts his collar a bit, "I suppose with this on, I'm yours to do with as you please, huh~?"

Mary smirks and taps a hoof on Gleam's nose. "And mine to please as I like~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he lets a somewhat eager grin break through. "Tonight's going to be a long night, isn't it~?"

Mary drapes one of the ropes over Gleam's side. "First, let's tie those wings so you don't fly away~"

Icicle Gleam rustles his wings a bit, lifting them up under the sheets to give Mary a bit of an easier time. "We wouldn't want that, now would we~? Best make them snug~"

Mary gently closes Gleam's wings and wraps the rope around his torso a few times. "How about this~?"

Icicle Gleam shifts his wings a bit, testing the restraints. "Hmm... Feels pretty good~"

Mary tightens the ropes a little. "And now~?"

Icicle Gleam squirms a bit, his cheeks reddening again as the bindings grow tighter. "Nnh~... Nice and snug, I think... My wings can barely move~"

Mary chuckles as she grabs another rope. "Hehe...perfect...Now let's see those forehooves~"

Icicle Gleam shifts a bit, smiling saucily at Mary as he proffers his forelegs to her. "Here you go, Mary~"

Mary neatly ties Gleam's forehooves together, attaching the knot to the collar with a short bit of rope. "Hehe...how about this~?"

Icicle Gleam seems to shiver a bit as Mary continues to restrict his movements. "Looks like you've got my whole front half bound up, now~" He wiggles his hind legs about a bit, shifting the blankets around his hips slightly, "But I've still got the use of my backside~"

Mary hums. "Well...binding those legs might make things difficult..."

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly from his position against the sheets. "If you think you'd like to leave my backside free to move, that's up to you~"

Mary chuckles, then plants a light kiss on Gleam's snout. "I have no idea~"

Icicle Gleam tries to lean up to return the kiss, but is momentarily stymied by the length of rope binding his forelegs to the collar around his neck. "Hehe, well, then~... I really do wonder what else you might have in mind for this~"

Mary rolls on top of Gleam, pushing him onto his back. "First, we need to get in position~"

Icicle Gleam allows Mary to press him down into the sheets, his bound forelegs resting against his chest. He grins up at her from below. "Mhmm~?"

Mary sits up, tenting the sheets with her shoulders and revealing their (now slightly messy) point of union. "I think you know what happens next~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he glances down towards their hips for a moment before smiling up at Mary. "The part that we both really, really enjoy~?"

Mary hums, looking down at Gleam. "Hmm...there's still something missing..."

Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit as he meets Mary's gaze. "What might that be?"

Mary slowly begins to grind her hips against Gleam's as she thinks. "Hmm...I don't know...it's been a long time since I tied someone up..."

Icicle Gleam 's breath hitches in his throat as Mary's movements send a rough jolt of pleasure through his sensitive stallionhood. "Nnh~! M-maybe it's a, ahh~... an extra set of ropes~?"

Mary continues her meditational grinding. "Hmm...was it...tying you to the bed? But the bed is too large..."

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly as he slowly gets accustomed to the new sensations. "Perhaps it was... t-tying me to you~?"

Mary: Hmm...in that case, we'll need a little more rope~

Icicle Gleam: At the very least, even if it's not what you used to do, we can experiment a little, right~?

Mary drapes another rope over her shoulders and leans down onto Gleam again. "Perhaps I'll tie around our backs, then~?"

Icicle Gleam tilts his head slightly. "Will you be able to move around enough~?"

Mary blinks, pausing in her grinding for a moment. "You were able to move around last time, right...?"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and nods. "Because I tied your legs together, and then wiggled between them~"

Mary pokes at the rope binding Gleam's hooves to his collar. "Aww, but then I would have to change this knot..."

Icicle Gleam winks at Mary. "However you think you'd like to do it, Mary~"

Mary blushes a little as she resumes her grinding. "This is fine, I think. I just like to..."do it"~"

Icicle Gleam hums as another ripple of pleasure slips through his body. "Mm~... The simple ways can be the best ways, sometimes~" He tries to shift against his bonds again, to no avail, "Though, with my legs and wings bound up like this, you could do just about anything to me~"

Mary chuckles as a thought comes to her mind. She slips off of Gleam, then moves herself downward until her face is near his crotch. "Anything, hm~?"

Icicle Gleam shivers in delight as he feels Mary shifting about over him, only to sigh and relax as she slips off from above. "A-aahh~... J-just about, I think~..."

Mary drags her tongue along Gleam's shaft, savoring the flavor of salty strawberries. "Mmmm~~"

Icicle Gleam squirms under Mary's touch, unable to do more due to the bindings holding his upper body in place. "Hhhaaa~..."

Mary looks up to gauge Gleam's reaction, then licks again. "Hehe...sure is dark down here~. Maybe a little light will help!" Her horn begins to glow, creating a magic field around Gleam's shaft.

Icicle Gleam tries to look down to get a better view of what's going on, only to hum curiously at the magical glow. Mary's second lick catches him off-guard, eliciting another moan of pleasure. "A little li-- aahh~... l-light could help~"

Mary chuckles, putting a hoof on Gleam's balls. "Now let's see, a massage, or a buzz~?" A few moments later, the magic aura begins to vibrate.

Icicle Gleam gasps sharply, his back arching as the vibrations send a rough surge of bliss through his body. His hind legs quiver under Mary's treatment. "Hhaaa~~!"

Mary gives another lick, letting the vibrations tickle her tongue. "Mmm, I like seeing you squirm like this~. My, I might not even mind if you make a little mess~"

Icicle Gleam squirms slightly as Mary's skillful tongue drags over his length. He again tests the bonds holding his wings and forelegs in place, though he seems to enjoy the sensations of being tied up like this. "I'm... at your mercy right now, Mary~"

Mary chuckles as she massages Gleam's sack with her hoof for a moment. "If this is all it takes to pacify you, I hardly need any ropes~"

Icicle Gleam smiles down at Mary. "I can't really do much on my back with my legs spread wide, after all~" He chuckles as his smile turns more into a grin, "I could make it more of a challenge if you'd like, though~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles a little more. "And then maybe you really would have to tie me down~"

Mary smirks up at Gleam. "A challenge...? What are you planning~?"

Icicle Gleam winks as he shifts his hind legs about. "One of the few things I could do with my forelegs bound like this, really~" He pauses, then tries to wrap his hind legs around Mary's back, just above her wings, "I could pin you in place, for example~"

Mary wraps her hooves around Gleam's thighs and squirms a bit. "Mm~...I like this. It's comfortable~"

Icicle Gleam hums quietly as he makes himself comfortable again, an obviously false frown on his face. "Hmm... Looks like my plan backfired~..." He wraps his hind legs around Mary a little more snugly, "Just be careful down there, unless you really do want me to make a mess~"

Mary gives Gleam's shaft another long lick. "Maybe I do~. I am rather thirsty~"

Icicle Gleam arches an eyebrow as he smirks, the lick sending a small shiver down his spine. "Well, the fountain is ready to go, Mary, and it's full of exactly what you want~"

Icicle Gleam gives his hips a bit of a wiggle just to tease Mary. "Thick and creamy~"

Mary stretches forward and gives the tip a little kiss. "And quite delicious~"

Icicle Gleam bites his lip to stifle a moan as Mary's lips touch the tip of his shaft. "A-and... ahh-all for you~"

Mary suckles the tip for a moment before taking a little more of Gleam's shaft into her mouth. "Mmmhm~"

Icicle Gleam lets his head fall back onto the sheets, inadvertently pulling his forelegs up against his chest at the same time. His hind legs slowly drift further apart as Mary takes his shaft into her mouth. "D-drink as much as... as you want, Mary~... This fountain is completely free for you~"

Mary hums as she continues suckling Gleam's tip, occasionally running her tongue around it. Her magic, meanwhile, continues to vibrate, tickling her mouth.

Icicle Gleam continues to squirm a bit under Mary's enticing touch. Every swipe of her tongue, ever pulse of vibration from her magic and every little tug of her mouth causes him to shiver and sigh in helpless bliss.

Mary takes a bit more of Gleam's shaft into her mouth, bobbing her head up and down as she sucks hungrily.

Icicle Gleam 's hips twitch as a particularly good jolt of pleasure forces a moan from his throat. The muscles in his upper body tighten as they strain slightly against their restraints, an unconscious reaction to the spike of pleasure. "Aaahh~~..."

Mary keeps pleasuring Gleam, wanting to see just how long he can last, helpless under her assault.

Icicle Gleam 's forelegs stiffen as his pleasure continues to steadily climb, the rope connecting his legs to his collar pulling taut. The restraints seem to trigger something in his mind, and a bit of a whine drifts past his lips. "Nnh~... M-Mary~..."

Mary takes a little more of Gleam's shaft into her mouth, going down halfway and letting the tip buzz against the back of her throat.

Icicle Gleam 's hips start to flex slightly as Mary dips further down his shaft, his hind legs tightening around her as he tries to pull her closer to his body. His eyes flutter partly open after a little while, his gaze unfocused and angled upward in an expression of heightened bliss. His mouth hangs slightly open, letting his breath come in deep bursts.

Mary continues bobbing her head at the same pace, eagerly slurping up any precum that dribbles out of Gleam's cock.

Icicle Gleam 's cock is being generous, dribbling a fair amount of precum as Mary continues to suckle his length. Her efforts draw out quiet, wordless moans of bliss as his hips continue to gently roll in her grip. The tip of his shaft starts to slowly flare out again within Mary's hungry mouth.

Mary hums as she feels the tip flare out within her mouth, and begins to sweep her tongue just under the flare with each pass.

Icicle Gleam 's body rewards Mary's efforts with a renewed flow of precum as her tongue drags across a sensitive spot on the underside of his shaft's flared head. A muffled moan of delight forces it's way past his lips as he tries to keep himself from giving into Mary's tease too quickly.

Mary unhooks one of her hooves from Gleam's thigh and brings it to his balls, massaging them as a last resort to getting what she wants~

Icicle Gleam 's back arches again as Mary's gentle massage causes his body to tense up. He grits his teeth in an effort to stem the tide of pleasure that's threatening to overwhelm him, but from the way his sack seems to tighten in Mary's hoof, her touch is proving to be too much for him to resist. His mouth slowly drops open as a loud, wordless moan heralds the first thick spurt of seed his body manages to squeeze from his balls.

Mary readily gulps down Gleam's seed, eager to keep up with the oncoming tide.

Icicle Gleam 's hips twitch in time with every jet of cum he produces, his body seeming more than happy to provide Mary with her desired drink. His forelegs strain against the rope again, more of an unconscious reaction to his climax than any real effort to get loose. "Aahh~~... haa-aahh~~..."

Mary moans as she continues to gulp down every drop, synchronizing her movements with Gleam's slight bucking. "Mm-mm~~"

Icicle Gleam 's climax slowly tapers off, though the constant stimulation coaxes a few more spurts from him. He sighs in contentment as his body starts to relax once more, having been teased to his limit twice in a very short time span.

Mary dispels her magic as she releases Gleam's shaft with a pop. "Mmm, it's like drinking honey~~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and smiles, though he's too relaxed at the moment to lift his head up. He sounds slightly out of breath for the time being. "Hehe~... Something sweet for you to drink... whenever you want it~"

Mary crawls her way back up Gleam's torso and kisses him firmly on the lips. "Tastes like honey, too~"

Icicle Gleam hums quietly as he meets the kiss, taking in the curious mix of flavors. "Mmn~... Definitely a unique flavor~"

Mary chuckles. "So, now what should I do with you~?"

Icicle Gleam licks his lips and smiles up at Mary. "I'm still tied up. Whatever you want to, I'd say~" He wiggles his bound forelegs a bit, "Did you figure out what was missing from these, by any chance~?"

Mary thinks a bit before levitating a leash into view. "Maybe one of these~?"

Icicle Gleam blinks at the leash, then blushes deeply as he gives Mary a rather sheepish smile. He remains silent, but shows he's agreeable by lifting his chin up and giving Mary access to his collar.

Mary hooks the leash onto the collar. "There, that's a good boy~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles weakly as the leash latches into place, his heart starting to beat a little faster out of excitement. "Th-the ensemble is complete now, hm~?"

Mary leans forward to kiss Gleam again, pouring rejuvenation magic into him. "Mmhm~~"

Icicle Gleam hums into the kiss as their lips meet, a shiver running down his spine as the tingle of magic flowing into his body reinvigorates him. "Mm-hmnn~..."

Mary chuckles as she breaks the kiss. "Perhaps I'm still a little thirsty~"

Icicle Gleam shifts a bit under Mary's weight, his body momentarily betraying his desire for Mary to continue, as his stallionhood begins to slowly stiffen once again, though it never had a chance to go completely flaccid. "Then... feel free to have another drink, Mary~"

Mary hums as she feels Gleam's hardness press against her. "Then again, I might be ready for the main course~"

Icicle Gleam blushes a bit deeper as he replies in a slightly lower voice. "The fountain is always open for you~. Although... you have the leash, Mary~..." He shifts a bit, stifling a small groan as his shaft rubs against Mary, "Nnh~... I think you're the one to set the pace, this time~"

Mary begins to grind herself against Gleam's shaft, smirking as she watches him squirm. "Right you are, my pet~"

Icicle Gleam squirms helplessly under Mary as she grinds her nether lips against him, her magic making his skin feel a fair bit more sensitive than usual as his length reaches it's full size once again. He bites his lip as she slides over him, trying his best to bite back a pleasured moan. "Nn... nn-nh~~..."

Mary tugs on the leash with her hoof, pulling Gleam into another kiss. "Mmmh~"

Icicle Gleam 's eyes flutter shut, and his cheeks burn an even more vivid red as he gets pulled up into the kiss. A little whine passes his lips as he tries to pull Mary into his embrace, only for the bindings to pull him up short. "Mm-mmh~~"

Mary lets Gleam fall back to the sheets as she continues to tease him. "Hehe~...if I keep this up, maybe you really will make a mess~"

Icicle Gleam doesn't seem adverse to the idea as his head settles onto the sheets once more, a soft, warm smile on his face. "I m-might, at that~... aa-ahh~... Nnnot that I'd mind, though~"

Mary settles over Gleam's tip, letting her netherlips envelop it. "On the other hoof, I don't want to let a single drop go to waste~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles breathily, his hips jumping slightly as Mary's warmth covers his tip. "W-well... with your rejuvenation spell, there's nothing stopping us from doing both~"

Mary slides back down Gleam's shaft, letting her netherlips continue teasing him. "Mmm, perhaps~~"

Mary: Although, those lips might have a hard time matching what these lips did before~

Icicle Gleam shivers as another quiet moan passes his lips, clearly enjoying the teasing Mary is giving him. "Hhnn~... Y-you can... always give it a try~~"

Mary settles on Gleam's tip after a little more teasing, giving it another "kiss". "Now you know how I feel when you keep teasing me~"

Icicle Gleam hums a bit and nods before replying, well aware of what might happen. "And I think I really like it, too~"

Mary slides back down, continuing her teasing. Her juices make the ride smoother with each pass. "Penetration~? Pff, who needs it~?"

Icicle Gleam 's hips roll slightly as Mary slides back down, sending a ripple of pleasure up his spine as his shaft rubs against her nether lips. A small dribble of precum leaks from the tip of his length and begins to pool on his belly. "R-right now~? I think I like wh-where we are~..."

Mary smirks as she slows down her tease. "Oh~? But we're not even technically screwing, you naughty boy~"

Icicle Gleam nods his head a bit, his face still rather red. "I know~... But it's... fun~~"

Mary pulls the leash taut as she begins to grind a little faster. "Oh, I'll show you fun~"

Icicle Gleam tenses in surprise as the leash gets pulled taut, but he quickly dissolves into bliss again as Mary starts to grind more insistently against him. "A-aahh~... P-please do, Mary~~"

Mary kisses her nethers against Gleam's tip again, this time letting him slide in ever so slightly. "Mmm~...Let's play around up here for a while~"

Icicle Gleam wiggles his forelegs a bit, achieving nothing more than pulling against the leash as his collar shifts about. He bites his lip for a few moments as a minor surge of pleasure leaves his nerves tingling. "Mmmf~..."

Mary begins to rotate her hips, giving Gleam a shallow teasing screw. "No cheating and pushing it in, now~"

Icicle Gleam shivers a bit as he does his best to resist that exact impulse. He continues to squirm about under Mary in delight, however. "I promise nnnot to cheat, Mary~"

Mary smiles and leans down to give Gleam another kiss. "Good boy~"

Icicle Gleam moans into the kiss as his pleasure slowly rises under Mary's teasing motions. He sighs and smiles softly as the kiss breaks, though his body continues to quiver with desire as he tries to keep his promise.

Mary pushes herself halfway down Gleam's shaft without warning, then immediately pulls out again. "Mmmh, how about that~?"

Icicle Gleam tenses as another, louder moan forces it's way out of his mouth. Even before he can respond, his body shows it's appreciation by letting a rather thick trickle of sticky precum dribble down his length after Mary slips back off of him. "Nn-nnh~~!"

Mary resumes her grinding, sliding up and down the outside of Gleam's shaft. "You're right, this is fun~~"

Icicle Gleam continues to squirm underneath Mary as wave after wave of pleasure rolls over him. He tenses a bit each time Mary slides her warm, tantalizingly moist nether lips over his shaft, and another dribble of precum leaks from his tip onto his coat. Before long, his belly is slick with his desire. "Aahhh~... It is... i-isn't it~~?"

Mary chuckles as another idea comes to mind. Soon, her soft tail joins in the teasing, following behind her as she moves and tickling Gleam's most sensitive areas. "Now, how about some of my tail between your legs~?""

Icicle Gleam 's hind legs shake and drift further apart at the silky touch, giving Mary even better access to his stallion bits. His head presses into the sheets as another surge of pleasure momentarily takes his breath away. The tip of his shaft starts to slowly flare out as the tiny trickle of precum grows slightly. "Nnnnh~~... F-feels, good~~"

Mary slips her netherlips over Gleam's flare again and again, letting it rub against her clit. "Mmmmh~...And~?"

Icicle Gleam bites his lip as he continues trying to resist both the temptation to buck his hips and the rising tide of ecstatic bliss building within. His flare continues to grow with each pass of Mary's nether lips. "I'm... g-getting... close, Mary~~"

Mary leans close to Gleam, letting the leash go slack for a moment. "Go ahead, make a mess of yourself~. I'll be here to clean it up~~"

Icicle Gleam shivers as Mary leans in close, and the tension in the leash vanishes. He looks up at her, his eyes filled with the look of somepony just about ready to burst. He seems to be resisting for just a few moments longer, as he replies in nothing more than a whisper. "A-almost there... Mary~~"

Mary smiles and pulls the leash again, pulling Gleam into a kiss. as their lips meet, she begins to rub herself against Gleam more vigorously. "Mmm...mmmh~"

Icicle Gleam hums as he eagerly leans in to meet the kiss, a hum which slowly draws out into a long, low moan of pleasure as Mary's efforts break down the last bits of resistance holding the tide back. The moan rises in volume as she teases him beyond his limit, his body jerking under her as his climax crashes over him. The first thick jet of his seed erupts from the tip of his shaft, coating his chest and belly in a streak of white, before being quickly followed by a second, and a third.

Mary slows to a stop as she breaks the kiss, feeling a drop of something hot splash onto her chin. "Oooh, oh my~~"

Icicle Gleam does his best to not buck his hips as his body is rocked by his orgasm, though he can't prevent himself from jerking and twitching under Mary as his sack continues to empty it's load onto himself. "Aa-aahh~~"

Mary lifts herself up a bit to observe the damage she's caused. "Oh dear, you really liked that~"

Icicle Gleam begins to relax again after several more seconds, partly because Mary is no longer sitting completely on him, and each successive spurt of cum appears less intense than the previous. Before long, he heaves a deep sigh as his climax comes to an end. "M-Mary~~"

Mary licks her lips. "I could use magic to clean you up, but where's the fun in that~?"

Icicle Gleam slowly manages to regain the use of his voice as his mind comes back down from it's euphoric high. He smiles at Mary. "Th-there wouldn't be much fun in it at all~..."

Mary slides herself down Gleam's body and begins to lick at his chest. "Let's get started, while it's still fresh~"

Icicle Gleam shivers as Mary's tongue begins to run over his coat. "Mmm~... It's best when it's fresh, right~?"

Mary makes her way down from Gleam's chest to his belly, thoroughly lapping up everything she sees. "Mmh, of course~"

Icicle Gleam squirms a bit every time Mary hits a sensitive spot on his body, though he seems to be more focused on her at the moment. The closer she gets to his still-erect length, the more sensitive his body seems to be. "Nnh~... You're doing such a thorough job, Mary~"

Mary moves a little further down, making sure to let her mane tickle Gleam's cock as she licks around it.

Icicle Gleam shivers as Mary's mane brushes against his sensitive length. A stray dribble of cum leaks from his tip as his muscles momentarily tense up, staining a small spot of his freshly-cleaned coat white again.

Mary hmphs as she sees Gleam is still making a mess. "Hmph. Naughty~" She gives his shaft a slow lick from balls to tip.

Icicle Gleam 's forelegs pull the rope binding his legs taut again as Mary's lick sends another ripple of pleasure through him. "Y-you're going to... squeeze me dry, if you keep that up~"

Mary gives the tip a little kiss before continuing with her cleaning. "Hmph. Good! You're already two orgasms ahead of me anyways!"

Icicle Gleam manages a shaky chuckle, even as his body twitches from the kiss. "Nnh... I guess I need to make it up to you, hm~?"

Mary smiles up at Gleam, nearly done cleaning him. "I'll just keep you tied up until I get what I want~"

Icicle Gleam smiles back down at Mary, the impromptu cleaning having clearly excited him again. "You could keep me tied up even after you've gotten what you want, and I probably wouldn't complain~"

Icicle Gleam winks playfully. "Unless you want me to take the lead again afterwards~"

Mary chuckles as she gives Gleam's balls one last lick. "We'll see~"

Icicle Gleam shivers again at that last little tease. "Mm... I'm looking forward to seeing what happens~"

Mary chuckles as she slides back up to give Gleam a kiss. "Hmmm...I hope you're ready to please me~"

Icicle Gleam grins at Mary after the kiss breaks. "Hehe... I like to think I'm always ready to please you, Mary~"

Mary moves her hips, intentionally grinding against Gleam's shaft once again. "You certainly feel ready~"

Icicle Gleam shudders slightly at the warm touch of Mary's hips. "Nnnh~... Then let's not keep you waiting~"

Mary moves her hips forward, letting her netherlips kiss against Gleam's tip again. "Mmm, agreed~"

Icicle Gleam shivers in anticipation as Mary's moist marehood presses against the tip of his shaft. He makes a visible effort to keep still despite the teasing touch. "I'd hate to see you left wanting, after all~"

Mary allows Gleam to slip into her before easing herself back. "It feels good to do this properly again~~"

Icicle Gleam arches his back a bit as Mary's welcome warmth envelops his length once again, only to let out a sigh as she shifts back. "Ahh~... It d-definitely does~" He chuckles after he catches his breath, "The collar and leash make things a bit more interesting, too~"

Mary tugs on the leash as she reaches the bottom of Gleam's shaft. "Does it~? How so~?"

Icicle Gleam 's breath hitches in his throat as the tug sends a little flutter through his body. He starts to blush a bit. "A-aah~... Just more fun, you know~"

Mary chuckles as she begins to slowly roll her hips, keeping the leash taut. "You really seem to like this, don't you~?"

Icicle Gleam 's blush deepens a bit. "W-ell... I'm a pegasus, so I like my freedom..." He inhales sharply for a moment when Mary hits a sweet spot, "Nnh~... L-letting you bind me up like this just feels... enjoyably naughty~"

Mary hums as she keeps her pace steady, lifting herself up to give Gleam a little show. "See, I like being bound up because it lets me be lazy~"

Icicle Gleam bites his lip a bit as his angle gives him a good view of the action down below. After a few moments, he looks up at Mary with a bit of a smile. "Well, maybe we can reverse the roles next time~"

Mary smiles back down at Gleam and increases the pace a bit. "Only if you can hold on long enough to please me twice~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and smiles as another ripple of pleasure zips up his spine from his hips. "Sounds challenging, but I'll give it my best shot~"

Mary leans forward and kisses the ropes around Gleam's hooves. "I wonder if you really can~?"

Icicle Gleam lets out a little moan of pleasure as he continues trying to resist the impulse to buck his hips. "We won't know until we try, right~?"

Mary hums as she kisses Gleam's neck. "But have you started trying yet~?"

Icicle Gleam smiles and hums contentedly at the kiss, letting his head lean back a bit. "Mm~... No, I suppose not~"

Mary lowers her voice as she brushes a hoof against Gleam's cheek. "You might not win unless you cheat~"

Icicle Gleam lets his hips rise slightly as he holds Mary's gaze. He tilts his head against Mary's hoof, applying a little more pressure to it. "I wonder what the penalty would be, though~?"

Mary chuckles as something devious comes to mind. "Penalty...? Maybe some private time with Miss Doppelganger~"

Mary: After all, I think you owe her a Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, as well~

Icicle Gleam 's cheeks redden further at the implications, though he doesn't seem adverse to the thought. "I... I suppose I do, at that~..." He pauses, then adds in a quieter voice, "L-leash and all...?"

Mary chuckles. "I don't think she knows how to use these safely. It'd be best to take them off first~"

Icicle Gleam sighs a bit and seems to relax just a touch. After a moment, he chuckles. "I think I'd prefer you being the only one to handle the leash, anyway~" He pauses, then adds, "A little special something just for the two of us~"

Mary blushes a little. "Aww, that's sweet~"

Icicle Gleam hums, smiling warmly as he lets his rump settle back onto the sheets for the moment. "So, you said I might only be able to win if I cheated, hm~?"

Mary hums as she carries on at a steady pace. "Well, they say all's fair in love~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he gives Mary a rather subtle thrust to begin with, just to see. "That's true, they do say that~"

Mary smirks. "Maybe I'm the one cheating with all these ropes, hm~? Maybe I should take it up the butt~"

Icicle Gleam smiles as he wiggles against his bindings again, though it's more just for show. He waits until Mary's settled comfortably against his hips before he gives her a rather firm, but careful buck. "However you want to, Mary~. I'm still bound up, and not really able to do much right now~"

Mary gasps as the buck sends an unexpected wave of pleasure through her. "Aah~! Keep that up and you might have a chance~"

Icicle Gleam smiles a little wider as he starts a firm series of long, slow thrusts at Mary's words. "Keep a tight hold of that leash, Mary~" He wiggles his forelegs to draw attention to the ropes, "I can't use my legs to hold you in place, this time~"

Mary synchronizes her movements with Gleam's as he begins to take over the pace. "Mmmh, but you can still give me a heck of a ride~"

Icicle Gleam hums as he lets the mental restraints he'd put into place earlier fall away, allowing the desire and need begin to fill his mind. He bounces Mary against his hips at a slowly quickening pace, with each thrust being a touch faster than the previous, though just as firm. "And if it's a ride you want, it's a good thing you have the leash to hold on to~"

Mary holds the leash with one hoof and steadies herself against Gleam's tied hooves with the other as he bounces her up and down. "Mmm~, there's no way you'll buck me off~"

Icicle Gleam bites his lip as he continues to slowly speed up his thrusts, relishing the constant buzz of pleasure that each upward push gives him. "I wouldn't dream of... nnh~... doing it on purpose, Mary~"

Mary moans as Gleam's hips bump against her, sending a persistent buzz of pleasure through her nethers. "Aah~...You're...really serious~~"

Icicle Gleam stifles a moan of his own as he takes a quick glance down at the action before smiling up at Mary again. He continues to pump his length in and out of Mary's depths at a decent pace, unable to do anything more than simply buck against her as hard and fast as she wants. "G-Got to... make you ffff-feel good too-oooh~... R-right~~?"

Mary pulls the leash tight as she continues to bounce and moan. "Th-thaaat's...nnh~...that's right~~"

Icicle Gleam 's breath catches for a moment in surprise as the leash gets pulled taut, only to be let out as a hot moan. His thrusts remain steady throughout, in spite of Mary's tug. "Nnh--haa~~... Th-then I'll make you feel good, Mary~~"

Mary smiles down at Gleam. "You're...awfully persistent~~"

Icicle Gleam smiles back up at Mary and treats her to a playful wink as he speaks. "You have the leash, after all~. You want to feel good... nnh~.. I'm your stallion~"

Mary chuckles and pulls a bit on the leash. "Mmh~...you think you can handle it~?"

Icicle Gleam moves his forelegs slightly, pulling the restraints around them a bit tighter as he shifts. "I've... handled it so far~"

Mary leans slightly to one side, angling herself for a new sensation. "Oooh, yes~"

Icicle Gleam shivers as the shift in position sends a zap of pleasure through his body. His thrusts, however, remain long and steady. "Aaah~..."

Mary hums and shifts her hips a little more, searching for her sweet spot. "Mmm...mmmnnh~...not quite...~"

Icicle Gleam starts to squirm a bit as Mary's movements continue to send little jolts of pleasure up and down his spine. His forelegs, bound as they are, can't do anything more than wiggle helplessly in the air between the two. "S-still looking, Mary~?"

Mary continues shifting herself above Gleam. "It's close...I can--aaahh~~"

Icicle Gleam bites his lip as he feels his body beginning to react to Mary's movements, and his pleasure begins to slowly rise. "Nnh~... G-got to... keep going~~"

Mary shivers in ecstacy as she holds herself at a somewhat awkward angle. "Mmmh~~...you'd better...keep going~~"

Icicle Gleam 's breath starts to grow heavier as the pleasure bubbling within his body continues to strengthen. He tries to shift his hips a bit so Mary isn't in such an awkward position, but quickly stops as his movements cause a spike in pleasure. "I'll try... aaahh~... I'll try my best~~" He stifles a moan before continuing, "Nnh~~... I don't want to lose, after all~~"

Mary chuckles, but interrupted by a jolt of pleasure, which makes her moan. "Aaahn~...you won't lose...trust me~~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles shakily, trying his best to resist the slowly rising tide. "Th-then I'll just try to hold steady... haaa~.. for now~~"

Mary begins to drool as she starts to lose herself in pleasure. "I-if you...say sooo~oooh~~"

Icicle Gleam leans against the leash a bit, relaxing his body slightly as he lets more and more pleasure wash over him. "B-but if you keep this up, I might just lo-ooh~... lose~~"

Mary 's moans rise in cadence as Gleam's thrusts hit her sweet spot again and again. "Nnh~...I don't...mmn~...mind if you..a-aah~...loo-o-ose~~"

Icicle Gleam lets his eyes drift shut and his ears angle back as he tries to strain against the rising tide of pleasure. "B-but I'll... mmf~... s-still be t-two-ooh~... orgasms ahead if I do~~"

Mary 's voice begins to strain. "We can...haah~...m-make those up later~~"

Icicle Gleam 's upper body tenses as he tries to embrace Mary on reflex again, but the ropes continue to hold tight. His voice begins to thicken as he draws closer and closer to his limit. The tip of his length begins to slowly flare within Mary as his body responds to their combined efforts. "If you... a-aahh~... i-if you ins-s-sist, Mary~~"

Mary lets her eyes flutter shut as she focuses on her rising pleasure. Her moans become louder as her limit approaches.

Icicle Gleam , knowing that his whole upper body is bound nice and tight, braces his shoulders against the bed as he starts to make his thrusts harder and rougher than before, letting his mind get overtaken by the rush of pleasure coursing through him. His moans begin to mix with Mary's as the seconds draw on.

Mary hovers at the edge of her climax, her tongue lolling out of her mouth. "Haa~...just...a little more~~"

Icicle Gleam begins to pant as he struggles to remain at the edge, his shaft now fully flared out within Mary's depths. His tongue starts to lap at the air as the pleasure within his body continues to rise with no release. "Almost... a-almost there, Mary~~"

Mary lets out a low moan as Gleam pushes her over the edge. Her body jerks in such a way that she loses her balance and falls to the side, rolling Gleam over with her.

Icicle Gleam lets out a sound of surprise as he's tugged onto his side by the leash. He can't do much but wiggle helplessly as he rolls over. "A-aah!"

Mary smiles at Gleam as her orgasm draws on, her insides squeezing against his shaft. "Mmmh~~you stopped~..."

Icicle Gleam bites his lip again as Mary squeezes his length, the shift in position momentarily jolting his mind out of it's haze. He wiggles his body a little closer and attempts to regain his previous tempo. "J-just a... small s-setback~..."

Mary chuckles as she rolls again, pulling Gleam on top of her. "You'll have a little more fun up here~"

Icicle Gleam slips over onto Mary at her urging, though he's unable to do much outside of bracing his forehooves against her chest. He smiles at her as he begins to pump his length in and out of her once again. "I might, at that~" He leans down to give her a little kiss now that his leash is slackened, "Sounded like you had a good one, just then~"

Mary hums as her nerves settle down and she settles into the groove of the next round. "It really was~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he quickly picks up the pace of his thrusts. "I wonder what you might have planned... for the next round~? This one isn't quite finished yet, after all~"

Mary smiles as she begins to rock against the bed. "oh, I'll think of something~"

Icicle Gleam leans forward and gives Mary another kiss, this time on her neck. "Everything feels more... nnh~... sensitive down there, now~"

Mary chuckles. "And it looks like you don't need your front hooves after all~"

Icicle Gleam hums quietly as he nuzzles under Mary's chin. "Not when I'm on top of you, anyway~" He takes a moment to breathe in the strawberry scent of her coat, "I like being close like this~~"

Mary smiles and pulls Gleam's collar, pulling him up for a kiss. "Mmm, I know you do~"

Icicle Gleam gladly leans up to meet the kiss, happy to see Mary still taking the lead with the leash. As the kiss draws on, and even after it breaks, his thrusts continue to grow rougher as he strives to push himself over the edge. "I like just about anything we do... a-aahh~... but this is the best~~"

Mary chuckles as she moves a hoof to stroke one of Gleam's wings. "Mmmh~...Looks like you've still got a lot in you~"

Icicle Gleam 's wing quivers in it's bindings as Mary's hoof plays across his feathers. His words come out a little slurred as he once again draws close to his limit. "A-and with... nnh~... you're m-magic... that's not going to chaa- aahhn~... change~~"

Mary brings up her other hoof to tease Gleam's other wing. "Hehe...this is definitely cheating~"

Icicle Gleam arches his back and lets out a long sigh, lifting his head as far up as it can go with the ropes still binding his collar to his forelegs. A shiver wracks his body as the double wing tease helps to push him right up to the edge. "Haaa~~! Ch... cheating~~"

Mary smirks up at Gleam. "Looks like I've got you, then~"

Icicle Gleam angles his head down a bit to gaze at Mary with lidded eyes, lust and desire evident in his expression. "I... I think so~... I s-still o-ooh~... owe you two orgasms, then~~" He tenses for a few seconds as the pleasure threatens to overwhelm him, "Wh... what's the penalty for losing~~?"

Mary chuckles. "Nothing you won't enjoy, I'm sure~"

Icicle Gleam lets his eyes flutter shut as he slowly leans forward and does his best to cuddle up against Mary in spite of the frenzy of thrusts he's giving to her down below. He nuzzles her, enjoying her warm as he works to break down that last barrier holding the tide of bliss back. "I... have complete trust... mmf~... in you, Mary~~"

Mary hums, getting a fair bit of pleasure from Gleam's efforts. "Mmh~...I'm still not untying the ropes, though~"

Icicle Gleam tries to respond, but is quickly reduced to wordless moaning as he pushes himself to the tipping point, only to teeter there for a few moments, until Mary tweaks one of his feathers just right. His moans increase in volume as he lets himself get swept up by the sensations of his release. "I l-like... the sound... of tha-aaaahhHHH~~!!"

Mary lets out a surprised moan as Gleam begins to fill her up. "Oooh~, it's so hot~~"

Icicle Gleam presses his hips flush against Mary as his sack starts to empty it's contents deep into her depths. He continues to gently push against her with each spurt his body produces, each contraction accompanied by a low, heated moan of bliss. "Aa-aah~... haaa~... S-so warm~~..."

Mary tugs the leash, pulling Gleam down for another kiss. "Mmm~"

Icicle Gleam meets the kiss as best as he's able to, humming quietly as his climax slowly begins to taper off. The unintentional edging, however, seems to have left his shaft stiff and sensitive for the moment, and every movement makes him shiver slightly in response. "Mmnn~..."

Mary squirms under Gleam, enjoying the slightly squishy feeling.

Icicle Gleam wiggles his hips a bit, grinding against Mary and letting his stiff length squish about within her a bit more.

Mary breaks the kiss and smiles at Gleam. "Feels like you're having a lot of fun~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he smiles warmly in turn. "Oh, I definitely am, Mary~" He gives her a quick little kiss on the nose, "And it seems I lost~"

Mary sticks out her tongue. "I guess that means the ropes stay on until you earn your freedom~"

Icicle Gleam tries to conceal a playful smirk, but isn't particularly successful at it at the moment. "However long that might take~"

Mary shifts Gleam to the side, rolling on top of him again. "There is one more thing we can do~"

Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit as he's rolled onto his back once more. "Oh~? What might that be, Mary~?"

Mary chuckles. "I thought you might be a little thirsty..."

Icicle Gleam licks his lips a bit, only now noticing the toll their exertions had been exacting. "Hm... You're right... I am a bit thirsty, now that you mention it..."

Mary begins to inch her way forward, slipping off of Gleam's shaft. "Well then, I've got just the thing for that~"

Icicle Gleam shivers, his body tensing up as Mary slides up off of his shaft. "Nnh~... S-something nice and... juicy~?"

Mary hums as her belly brushes against Gleam's nose. "You're on the right track~"

Icicle Gleam lets his eyes flutter shut for a moment as he breathes in an enticing scent of strawberries. The corners of his mouth curl up a bit in response to Mary's coat rubbing against his nose. "Hehe... Sounds like a tasty treat, to me~"

Mary slides forward just a bit more, tickling Gleam's belly with her tail. "It's your favorite, strawberries and cream~"

Icicle Gleam squirms slightly at the touch of Mary's tail, already somewhat knowing what she's doing. It's not enough to stop him from momentarily losing his track of thought as he opens his eyes, to find Mary's wet slit inches from his snout. "I... You know my favorites quite well, it seems~" He grins a bit as he tries to look up at Mary, "I love strawberries and cream~"

Mary chuckles as she lowers herself onto Gleam's mouth. "It's all-you-can-eat~"

Icicle Gleam can only manage a muffled sound as a reply as Mary settles onto his face. He wiggles slightly, a blush slowly creeping onto his cheeks as he experimentally pokes his tongue out between his lips. "M-mmmf~..."

Mary hums as she wiggles her hips a bit. "I'll only get off once you even our score~"

Icicle Gleam slowly swirls the tip of his tongue around Mary's clit, wanting to start off slow for the moment. His forelegs wave slightly under Mary's tail as they try to catch it in an effort to grab hold of some part of her. He hums at her words, vibrating his lips against her's.

Mary pushes against Gleam's lips, humming as he begins to go to work on her.

Icicle Gleam 's lower body curls up slightly as Mary presses against him. His tongue, having been in the middle of teasing apart her nether lips, slips into her hot depths, giving him his first real taste of his snack. After a few seconds of gentle poking, he pushes his tongue deeper still.

Mary arches her back as Gleam's warm tongue enters her. "M-mmmh~"

Icicle Gleam lets his tongue poke against various spots within Mary, their combined juices coating it with it's rather unique flavor. His forelegs move up a bit, his fetlocks pressing against Mary's rump as he continues trying to grab hold of her silky tail.

Mary flicks her tail in response to Gleam's attempts to grab it, and continues to enjoy his curiously poking tongue.

Icicle Gleam raises his hips into the air slightly as he continues to let his tongue explore Mary's depths, the heady scent of sex slowly rekindling the flame that has been burning within his body since earlier in the day. He can't help but let out a frustrated hum as Mary flicks her tail out of his reach.

Mary squirms a little as Gleam's tongue brushes against a sensitive spot within her. "O-ooh~"

Icicle Gleam shifts his tongue's movements, and starts to let it rub against Mary's inner walls, leaving his lips pressed against her so he can catch every bit of his snack. He hums again, sending another vibration through her nether bits.

Mary leans back a little, causing her tail to tickle Gleam's hooves. Her nethers twitch a bit, still sensitive from their previous session.

Icicle Gleam wiggles his hooves again at the contact, and he begins trying to snag Mary's tail once more. He continues to let his tongue roam as it will, rubbing and poking at various spots within her depths. A little line of moisture begins to trace it's way down his cheek.

Mary eeps at Gleam finally tugs at her tail. In response, she presses herself a little more firmly down on him.

Icicle Gleam hums again as he manages to get a decent grip on Mary's tail. Once he feels her pressing herself more firmly against his snout, his tongue begins to press more insistently against her from within, and he also starts to gently suck on her clit whenever it slips into his mouth.

Mary lets out a shaky moan as Gleam's efforts send of a jolt of pleasure up her spine. She gives the leash a little tug, as encouragement.

Icicle Gleam 's snout presses even more firmly against Mary's wet slit as she tugs on the leash, and his tongue momentarily slips deeper into her, brushing against bits he normally could not reach. The tug also sends a shiver of pleasure through his body, causing his stiff shaft to bob slightly behind Mary.

Mary bites her lip as her pleasure continues to rise. "Mmmh, I'm almost tempted to turn around and...have a little drink myself~"

Icicle Gleam squirms a bit at Mary's words. He lets out a bit of a moan as he slips his tongue from her hot depths and spends a few moments simply stimulating her clit and nether lips before plunging back in. His forelegs keep a firm grasp on her tail all the while.

Mary moans hotly as Gleam sucks on her clit. "Mmmh~~...is that a yes, or a no~?"

Icicle Gleam manages to shake his head slightly in response as he slurps up a stray dribble of Mary's juices. His body, however, seems to say otherwise as his lower half shifts about on the bed.

Mary manages a chuckle as she looks back over her shoulder. "Oh my, it's already leaking~"

Icicle Gleam starts to push his tongue about a little more insistently within Mary as she looks towards his shaft. A small sound of longing slips out in between licks, but he manages to keep himself focused on the task at hand for the time being. Every so often, he tries to tease Mary by sucking on her clit before going back to probing her depths.

Mary 's pussy twitches again as Gleam sweeps its walls with his tongue, giving her another burst of pleasure. "N-nnh~...You're...getting close~"

Icicle Gleam jumps slightly as Mary's walls contract around his tongue, though he immediately resumes his exploration once he can move again. His shaft is fully erect again, and leaking a steady trickle of precum, but he tries to pay it no heed as he continues to service Mary. His forelegs continue to hold Mary's tail tight.

Mary begins to roll her hips against Gleam's mouth as excitement takes hold and her moaning rises in cadence.

Icicle Gleam feels his head shifting slightly in time to Mary's movements, and he starts to rhythmically rub against the deepest reaches of her that he can reach, searching for sensitive spots he may have missed. He moans every so often, letting the vibrations buzz Mary's clit whenever he can.

Mary can't hold herself back anymore, and lets out a long moan as her pleasure spills over. Her pussy gushes sweet juices as it squeezes tight around Gleam's tongue, and her mind simply goes blank for a few moments.

Icicle Gleam lets out a sound of surprise as Mary suddenly clamps down on his tongue. He tries to keep up with the gush of juices his teasing managed to produce, but he can't stop a bit of it from splashing onto his snout. He moans as the heady scent of Mary's pleasure fills his senses, causing him to buzz her clit again.

Mary presses herself onto Gleam's snout as her orgasm draws on and her legs weaken.

Icicle Gleam squeezes his hind legs together as Mary's climax threatens to overwhelm his senses. The trickle of precum is still flowing, though the sounds and scent of Mary's pleasure seems to have given his body a bit of a push.

Mary finally slumps forward, her climax totally spent. "Aaah~...that was good~~"

Icicle Gleam lets his tongue slowly slip out of Mary's slit again with a quiet sigh, and he gives her one last little tease by stimulating her clit again before he nuzzles against her belly. "That... was a good treat~..." He releases her tail, and lets his forelegs rest against her rump, "Such a... sweet flavor to it~~"

Mary hums as she unties Gleam's ropes with her magic. "Mmmhm~"

Icicle Gleam 's wings unfurl against the bed almost as soon as the ropes fall away, and he flexes his forehooves a bit as they likewise gain their freedom. He hums curiously, his voice muffled as he continues to nuzzle Mary's warm belly. "Hm~? I thought I still owed you one more climax before you freed me~?"

Mary sighs happily as she rolls onto her back. "You can make it up with your wings next time~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles contentedly as he wiggles his way up beside Mary. He shifts a bit and leans over to give her a gentle kiss. "My wings, hm~? Alright, Mary... Pleasure-wings will be ready for it~"

Mary chuckles as she wiggles herself a little closer to Gleam. "Seems you liked the ropes, huh~?"

Icicle Gleam hums a bit as he cuddles up beside Mary. "Something we both enjoy, I think~"

Mary stares at the ceiling for a few seconds. "Are you thirsty? Like, actually thirsty?"

Icicle Gleam sighs quietly as his body continues to slowly unwind. "A bit, yeah... How about you, Mary?"

Mary stretches her hooves upward. "I'm parched! And starving, too~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he takes a moment to stretch his forelegs out a bit as well. "Then maybe we can have a nice little dinner together, for just the two of us~"

Mary floats over a quill and a piece of parchment from a nearby desk. "What will you have?"

Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully as he considers. "Hmm... I'm... not particularly picky, really." He turns his head a bit to look at Mary, "What do you recommend that's tasty?"

Mary hums in thought, then writes a few items on the parchment

Mary: Hmmm...and a wine to go with that would be...white vintage, of course...

Mary finally rolls up the parchment and sets it on fire with a puff of flame.

Icicle Gleam blinks, curious at what Mary just did. "I'm guessing that's going to the cooks, or something?"

Mary settles into the sheets. "Yep, it's good to be a princess~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly as he gives Mary a little kiss on the neck. "Must be really nice, having those conveniences."

Mary: Well, I like to cook too, but I don't even think I can walk straight after all that~

Icicle Gleam: I probably can't fly straight, much less attempt to walk~

Icicle Gleam settles against the sheets a bit more. "Besides, we're both nice and warm... It'd be a shame to waste all that heat."

Mary rolls over a bit to give Gleam a gentle kiss. "While we wait, would you like water, tea, or juice?"

Icicle Gleam hums into the kiss before smiling softly at Mary. "I think I had my fill of juice for the moment... Maybe some water to cool me off a bit?"

Mary concentrates for a moment before floating a full glass of water from the kitchen...with two straws.

Mary: As long as it's a holiday, we might as well do this kind of thing too~

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he looks towards the glass of water. "I like the way you think, Mary~"

Mary sets the rather large glass of water down on the bed between them, and props herself up slightly to sip from one of the straws

Icicle Gleam carefully rolls until he can prop himself up as well, and starts sipping some water from the other straw. He looks over the glass and smiles warmly at Mary as he drinks.

Mary finally releases the straw after a long sip. "Aaah~"

Icicle Gleam sighs in appreciation as he finishes his drink as well, leaving the glass a little under half full. "Haa... Nice and refreshing~"

Mary leans forward over the glass and gives Gleam another kiss.

Icicle Gleam lets his eyes flutter shut as he shifts to meet the kiss. "Mmm~..."

Mary breaks the kiss and blushes. "Ah...thanks for coming by today..."

Icicle Gleam hums and smiles as he leans back from the kiss. "I'm more than happy to come by whenever you'd like, Mary..." He pauses for a moment, then adds, "And thank you for spending today with me."

Mary nods. "It was really fun...and...it felt really good~"

Icicle Gleam blushes slightly as his smile widens a bit. "It definitely was... and it definitely did~..."

Mary wordlessly takes another sip from her straw.

Icicle Gleam takes another short sip from the glass as well, though he continues to watch Mary.

Mary tries to hide behind her bangs, not used to having such a considerate partner.

Icicle Gleam smiles a bit and releases his straw, letting it settle back into the glass, before he leans forward and gives Mary another gentle kiss on her nose. "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Mary..."

Mary blushes heavily behind her bangs. The sweat seems to steam off her forehead. "Y-you too..."

Icicle Gleam chuckles after a few moments, his smile warm and full of cheer. "Hehe... This is the first time I've seen you almost speechless~..."

Mary looks to the side as her ears grow hot. "T-there were other times..."

Icicle Gleam hums and leans over to give Mary a little nuzzle, being careful about the glass of water between them. "Really...? Though... you've done the same to me, too.." He pauses for a moment, then sighs again as he basks in the warmth radiating from her, "Mm... You're nice and warm now, Mary..."

Mary drinks the rest of the water.

Icicle Gleam gives his wings a bit of a stretch as he leans back again and simply smiles at Mary.

Mary floats the glass back to the kitchen for a refill, still blushing. As the water burbles, she asks, "I'm not...sure what to think of you...?"

Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit, his smile remaining in spite of the curiosity in his voice. "Hm...? Not sure?"

Mary buries her face in the sheets and mumbles.

Icicle Gleam lifts a hoof and gently strokes Mary's mane. "Are you alright, Mary?"

Mary lifts her face up a bit. "I don't really think this sort of day is for me..."

Mary: It's too...complicated...

Icicle Gleam 's smile slides a bit as he continues to curiously look at Mary. "Complicated...?"

Mary mumbles as she floats the overflowing water glass back to the bed. "Nevermind..."

Icicle Gleam hums a bit. "It... doesn't have to be complicated."

Mary: I guess so...

Icicle Gleam leans over and gives Mary a gentle kiss on her forehead, just below her horn before he moves back a bit to make space for the glass of water. "Rather, it'll only be as complicated as we want to make it..."

Mary thoughtfully sips from the glass

Mary: Next time, we're watching a porno.

Icicle Gleam blinks, then nods after a moment, having been caught a bit off-guard. "If you'd like to, Mary."

Mary chuckles. "Viridian's porno spinoff~!"

Icicle Gleam ends up blushing a bit. "So... like her regular movies, just... more saucy?"

Mary: Heh, pretty much~

Mary: Maybe with a special guest or two~

Icicle Gleam: W-well... I guess we have an idea of what we're watching during our next movie night, in that case.

Mary chuckles again and smiles. "Yep~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and smiles in turn. "I guess it'll be some time soon, then."

Mary: Hmmm, maybe~

Icicle Gleam goes to take a sip of water before he sighs again and leans back. "So... I'm still curious, Mary... What did you mean, you weren't sure what to think of me?"

Mary 's blush returns again. "W-well...you're just a booty call, but...you treat me so well, and...

Mary: You're...starting to grow on me...

Icicle Gleam takes his turn to blush. "I, um... like to treat everypony I care about well... Even if it's just a... a booty call." His cheeks flush a bit deeper as he continues, "A-and... well, I like to stop by, because I enjoy your company, Mary..."

Mary: Th-thanks...Equestrians really are pretty different...

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly. "I could say the same about how I see Ostfriesians..."

Mary: Hmph...Ostfriesians are a little too special. That makes them nothing special...

Icicle Gleam can't help but smile a bit. "To you, perhaps, Mary... To me, Ostfriesians are all sorts of interesting." He pauses for a few moments, "And I think the most interesting Ostfriesian is laying down right beside me."

Mary blushes as she chuckles a little. "Then you sure are lucky..."

Icicle Gleam hums, leaning over to give Mary a little kiss. "Mm... perhaps I am..."

Mary puffs out her cheeks. "Meanwhile I end up with Mr. Ordinary Pegasus. Hmph!"

Icicle Gleam playfully sticks his tongue out. "Just think of it as unrealized potential."

Mary grins. "Potential for what~?"

Icicle Gleam chuckles. "For just about anything you can think of~"

Mary chuckles as she glances down. "Well, you do have a pretty big...imagination~"

Icicle Gleam blushes a bit when he sees Mary glancing down. "I like to think I can get rather creative~..."

Mary giggles and nods. "I do like a little creativity~"

Icicle Gleam manages to smile again as his blush recedes for the moment. "And I'm sure we could make use of it even more~"

Mary: I look forward to your ideas for next time~

Icicle Gleam reaches a hoof over to stroke Mary's mane again. "I'll make sure to give next time some good thought~"

Mary giggles and takes a sip of the water. "I'll make sure to have my toys ready for next time~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly. "It'll be another fun day~"

Mary sighs and settles back into the sheets, now feeling thoroughly relaxed. "Ahh, mmhm~"

Icicle Gleam leans over and takes another sip of water from the glass. "It's nice to just... relax like this, isn't it?"

Mary sets the water on the nightstand. "Wanna...snuggle for a bit?"

Icicle Gleam smiles softly. "That sounds nice..." He chuckles after a moment, "We just need to be careful that we don't fall asleep before our food arrives."

Mary chuckles and scoots closer to Gleam. "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable on top of me~"

Icicle Gleam hums and shifts himself closer to Mary. He gently wraps a foreleg around her shoulders and pulls her close. "On top of you~? You sure you don't mind me using you as a pillow?"

Mary smiles. "I perfer having you as a blanket~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and shifts himself over on top of Mary, letting his wings blanket her in a feathery embrace. "Well, there's nothing more comfortable than a feather blanket~"

Mary kisses Gleam on the nose as she squirms to get comfortable. "Mmhm, I agree~"

Icicle Gleam wiggles his hooves until they're settled comfortably around Mary, and he gives her a little kiss in return before settling against her chest. "The warmth you give off helps a lot, too~"

Mary wraps her forehooves around Gleam's back. "And it's nice and comfy without that big floppy thing in the way~"

Icicle Gleam blushes a bit. "It definitely lets us get more comfortable this way~" He hums and gives Mary a gentle nuzzle, "And closer, too~"

Mary hums as she flips the blanket over Gleam's back. "Here, so we don't embarrass the chef when he comes in~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles and gives Mary a kiss on the nose. "Probably a good idea~"

Mary 's eyes droop as her body warms up. "Mmm...a little nap wouldn't hurt, would it?"

Icicle Gleam shakes his head a bit and smiles. "A little nap might do us good." He winks, "And I think I have the perfect thought for you to fall asleep to..."

Mary 's ears perk up. "Hmm? What do you mean?"

Icicle Gleam: Well... earlier, you mentioned you didn't quite know what to think of me, right?

Mary nods. "Hmm, yes..."

Icicle Gleam smiles a bit more. "I know what I think of you, if you'd like to hear it..."

Mary tilts her head. "Go right ahead~"

Icicle Gleam lowers his voice a bit. "Well... out of everypony I know, you're the one I enjoy spending time with the most, booty call or not..." He chuckles quietly as his cheeks begin to flush again, "And, well... you're starting to grow on me, too..."

Mary 's face turns red. "A-ah...you silly pony, I thought you were going to say something crazy!"

Icicle Gleam raises an amused eyebrow. "Oh? Such as~?"

Mary looks to the side. "N-nothing...forget it!"

Mary: L-like admitting you really liked my doppelganger instead of me!

Icicle Gleam gives Mary a warm hug, an amused smile on his face as he presses his cheek against her chest. "Nothing compares to the real you, I think~"

Mary puffs out her cheeks. "Th-thanks..."

Icicle Gleam chuckles as he scoots back up again to smile down at Mary, the tip of his nose lightly brushing her's. "Your doppelganger is fun, but she's not quite as cuddly as you can be~. Nor as much fun to talk with~"

Mary chuckles. "She's not much of a conversationalist. Actions are hotter than words, after all~"

Icicle Gleam hums a bit. "Most of the time, I'll agree~" He winks playfully, "Though, words can be fun, too. Especially when they're spoken with sincere feeling~"

Mary hums. "I do like a little dirty talk~"

Icicle Gleam chuckles. "Well... I mean more than just the dirty talk~... Though that's a lot of fun, too~"

Mary giggles and nuzzles into Gleam's coat. "In any case, it's time for a little nap..."

Icicle Gleam hums contentedly and nestles against Mary as he wraps his wings a little more securely around her. "Yeah... that sounds like a good idea..." He gives her another gentle kiss before resting his head beside her's, "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Mary..."

Mary sighs as the sheets and Gleam's feathers seem to get softer and warmer. "Mmh...you too~"
