Dark Star starts has embarked in a new venture - infiltrating cells of leftwing radicals at a local university.
>>149449"Huh..." Iron muttered, turning pensive. "So that is why couples try for foals many times..."
>>149450“I mean… it takes that long until birth when there is a pregnancy. Foaling is hit or miss. A mare is not guaranteed to become pregnant under even the best of conditions.”
>>149452Iron nodded further, thinking he got the gist of it. "That means I will have to go at it for more times than I do now to be as sure as possible it takes place," he concluded "got it."
>>149453“You’ll know what there is a pregnancy.” She says, then smiles,
“But yes. Many more times.”
Looking up at him slyly
>>149454Iron nodded a couple more times before humming softly in deep thought. "...would your family be proud of you having foals?" he not-so-casually inquired.
>>149455"Y-yes." She says, sharply
>>149456"Even if your social standing could be better?" Iron followed up as a hoof soon trailed to her cheek while he stared at the unicorn into her eyes.
>>149457"Well... the higher the social standing of the stallion, the better."
>>149458"Then it seems I must really work on displaying such standing to ensure your family is extra proud, then," Iron concluded with a small smile.
>>149459She smiles back
"Yes, that's... that's the spirit."
>>149460Wrapping his other hoof around the back of Sands' head, Iron soon shuffled his position so that his snout was inches away from hers, breathing lightly brushing against the unicorn's coat hairs as he soon smiled along with her. "We will show them just how worthy you really are," he softly yet confidently whispered to his mare.
>>149461She locks her green eyes into his, and smiles
"Hehehehehe"
She lies relaxed in his embrace, letting Iron move her as he wills.
>>149462And with that, Iron soon leans into Sands to plant his lips against hers in a tender display of the affection she had craved for a while.
>>149463Only when it is clear that Iron has made the first move does she herself move, tilting her head to gently lock lips with his, and placing her forelegs on his sides.
>>149464Iron didn't do much else aside from enjoying Sands' lips on his, gently breathing in and out as his forelegs tenderly brushed her mane up and down in a soothing rhythm.
>>149465Sands, however, tilts her head, opens her mouth wider, and starts to place her tongue in his mouth.
>>149466Iron allows it, carefully dancing along Sands' invading tongue at her tempo, always trying to go slow and enjoy the more romantic moment.
>>149467She briefly invades, and then recedes, keeping pace. Her lips are thin, but certainly soft, and she makes slow movements reciprocating his.
>>149468Iron's heart couldn't help but swell a little at Sands' restraint, happy to see her reciprocating the mood he had crafted but feeling she wanted a lot more than he really wanted for the time being.
Nevertheless, he simply stayed like this, lovingly making out with Sands until she was fully satisfied or somepony decided to interrupt the moment.
>>149469It's probably three minutes, but she pulls away, looking at him.
>>149470Thus, Iron pulls back as well, flashing a lovedrunk smile from the rather tame makeout session they had just experienced. "Feeling any better?" he breathed out, the satisfaction apparent in his voice.
>>149471"I thought you wanted to try?" She says
>>149472"I would rather ask Cauldron for permission first before messing up her furniture," Iron sheepishly admitted. "You won't be able to catch all of it with your lower mouth."
>>149473She starts a smile, and then moves to a scowl.
“Don’t tell
her! That will piss her off.”
>>149474"That is what I mean," Iron replied soon after. "She will most likely smell me if I were to try with you here."
>>149476"Surely you did not think she would not notice the smell of sex in her bedroom, right?" Iron presented, almost wondering if her desire to become a proud member of her family had blinded her just a bit. "Cauldron is quite perceptive."
With that being said, however, he soon started to slide out of bed in order to get back on his feet before quickly checking if he had bits in his pocket still. "Besides," he added with a smirk "I'm sure you would like something a lot more fancy than this."
>>149477She continues scrunching. After a minute, she says,
“The hotel room was nice.”
>>149478"Nice is not going to cut it this time," Iron boldly proclaimed before hopping off the bed with a confident strut. "We are gonna look for the best hotel room for today."
>>149479She smiles s little more brightly, and gets off the bed
“Some day, you should get a house.”
>>149480"It is in my to-do list items to get," Iron agreed with a happy nod "mostly for you."
>>149481She smiles back, and then turns away, leaving the room and line of sight
>>149482Iron first ensured his leather belt was properly set before checking his bit pouch a second time with more of a frown: He
may need to get some extra money to ensure he could buy Sands the best time of her life...
for now.I sure hope Cauldron is using all the money I invested in her wisely, he half-hoped before slowly walking towards the bedroom's exit.
>>149483White Sands is busy setting water to boil on a stove in a tea pot.
>>149484At least she got some of her appetite back, Iron mused to himself with a proud smile.
Following that, he soon walked over to where Sands was making tea, silently watching her in rapt interest in the offchance he could be the one to do it for her as a friendly gesture later on.
>>149481>>149482The door opens, and Black Cauldron enters, wearing a jacket. She quickly turns her head and sees the two in the kitchen.
"Oh. Iron. You're up. And still here."
>>149487Iron nodded before trotting over to Cauldron and giving her a warm, welcoming hug. "Welcome back," he greeted.
>>149488She doesn't seem to have expected the hug, but accepts it all the same. Her fur is course and short.
"Hello. Are you feeling better?"
>>149489"I am," Iron confirmed with an energetic nod before backing off back to foreleg's lengths and flashing a thankful smile "thanks to you and Sands."
With that little compliment streak done, he'd soon walk back to where Sands was preparing the water to see how it was done once again, hoping he didn't miss anything.
>>149490She watches the flames under the teapot, evidently still waiting for it to boil.
Black Cauldron:
“Good. Those Ginoviccis are still out there. And they will try to look for us.”
>>149491"Are they also looking for you now?" Iron inquired with a glance at Cauldron, trying his best not to lose focus on the tea making process.
>>149492"I don't believe so. Just you two. But they could associate it with all of us, and start a turf war."
>>149493Thus, the native simply nodded, thankful it wasn't personal at the very least. "I will be ready to face them before they get any ideas," he confidently declared to Cauldron.
>>149494“They already have ideas, I am sure. I don’t know if they will want to venture into the city. But they will be looking for you. And they will be ready for when you come to them.”
>>149495Iron nodded once again, taking a deep breath to steel himself for the soon-to-be battle to decide the fate of him and the ones he cares about.
>>149496"Iron" she turns her eyes towards White Sands, and then back to Iron.
"Can we talk in private for a minute?"
>>149497Iron's ears swiveled at the request, making him turn towards Cauldron before walking over to her. "Sure," he answered with a hint of confusion.
>>149498She looks again to Sands, moves with Iron to the bedroom, looks back suspiciously at Sands, closes and locks the door, and then moves into the bedroom on the other side of the bed, looking suspiciously at the door. In a low whisper she says
"Iron..." She looks into his eyes with seriousness
"Do you want to become an Associate?"
>>149499Oh! She must mean something about fully entering the gang proper if we're pulling ranks like that!
"Remind me what's an Associate, first," he'd whisper back to Cauldron just to make sure that was her intention.
>>149500"It's the lowest level of our organization." She says
"You help make money for the organization. And in return, they offer... we offer, protection. Fraternity."
