AJ agrees to a kinky game with Dash. But when Rarity shows up, the game may get too hot for AJ.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash play some kinky games, but Dash's latest request is going to push AJ to her mental limits. Is Applejack too proud to let herself enjoy being a riding pony, or will Dash and Rarity show her what those saddles are really for?

Sometimes it takes a lot of strength to be submissive.

Applejack nervously stared at the big box Dash had deposited on the floor of the barn. “So this is it?”

“Yeah. You're okay with this?” Dash asked, watching her closely.

Applejack took a deep breath and let it out. “Yup. And I got a safeword if I ain't, right?”

Dash smiled and nodded, “You know it.”

“It's tougher than anythin' I let ya' do so far.” Applejack pointed out, still staring at the box.

“That's what makes it hot.”

“Yeah.” Applejack agreed. “Open it up.”

Dash pulled the lid off the box, and Applejack looked down into it. Laying inside was a stiff, thick, shiny saddle. This was obviously not a piece of clothing, the top was contoured for the comfort of the pony using it. And that sure wasn't the pony wearing it.

Applejack was looking at a riding saddle. One that she let her marefriend buy for her to wear.

Modern saddles were just a piece of clothing, useful for keeping warm and letting a pony dress up a bit if they felt like it. But the saddles they were derived from were much different. In the old days, wealthy and powerful ponies would keep servants, riding ponies, and make them carry their masters so that delicate upper class hooves didn't have to touch the ground. That was what the upper class said, at least. The alternate theory was that it was simply a display of power and intimidation.

But according to history the wealthy and powerful were largely unicorns and pegasi, and riding saddles were always made for earth ponies. Some unicorns had even written essays about how it was the natural order for earth ponies to be beasts of burden. Of course, nopony in Equestria believed that anymore. Certainly not Rainbow Dash, who had an earth pony for a marefriend.

When Dash first brought it up, AJ nearly bucked her in the head. Applejack was willing to submit on her nights, but a riding saddle was something else. It carried a history of degradation that she wasn't sure she was okay with.

On the other hoof, there was something sexy about finding out how far Dash could push her before she snapped. That was how her turns usually went, and so far Dash had found nothing sexy that was humiliating or painful enough to keep AJ from following her orders. But Applejack wasn't sure she could keep from rebelling against being treated as a riding pony, and that was exciting. So she gave Dash the go ahead to get one.

Looking at the reality of it now was even worse, and better at the same time.

Dash was smiling and looking hopefully between the saddle and AJ, while AJ just stared at it. She was not a riding pony. That was crystal clear to her, and to Dash, and to anypony who ever met her. She had complete control over herself and her life. And that control meant that she could be a riding pony, if she wanted to.

She looked up at Dash, “Okay. Put it on me.”

Dash took it out of the box, then flew up on top of her, setting it gently on her back. The pegasus landed and used her mouth to tighten the belt under AJ's torso.

The saddle wrapped firmly around her body, held in place. It felt stiff and heavy, and it was impossible to ignore. With every breath she took her sides pressed against it and reminded her that she was wearing a real saddle, for another pony to ride. Her eyes went wide and her cheeks flushed bright red as a familiar feeling hit her like a lightning bolt.

Any time Dash took control, AJ felt a tension between the part of her that had decided to do anything Dash said, and the part that refused to take orders from a bossy, self-centered little pegasus. It was a strange, pleasurable feeling of being nervous and off balance while she and Dash combined both of their wills to force her into submission.

But that was barely a shiver compared to what she was feeling now. The humiliation and anger at herself for allowing this was screaming through her brain, but the saddle seemed to exert a force of it's own, telling her that there was no resisting, no option but submission to her mistress.

“AJ, you okay? Is it comfortable?” Dash asked.

She nodded. She needed Dash's help. “Start, please.”

Dash smirked, and ran a hoof casually down AJ's flank. “I'll start whenever I want to, riding pony. And I don't want to hear you say another word unless I ask you a question. You still need a bridle, go get it.”

AJ nodded gratefully. Dash's orders combined with the power of the saddle to provide her tortured mind with some relief. There was no point in struggle, she belonged to Dash, and the tension was as firmly reined in as Dash would keep her.

Applejack stepped over to the box and pulled out the remaining items. One was a leather harness for her head with reins attached. Dash rejected a real bridle because a bit would interfere with certain activities she was counting on. The other was a riding crop, and AJ shivered at the thought of Dash using that on her.

Dash was hovering to get better use of her hooves, and took both objects from AJ. She set the crop aside, then removed Applejack's hat and tossed it away. The pegasus fitted the harness over the earth pony's head and buckled it tight, tossing the reins over AJ's head.

Dash stepped back to admire her work. “Nice. Just one more little thing.”

She flew around out of sight, and Applejack felt a nip on her rear. She raised her tail for Dash and felt a very light tug on it as it fell loose from her ribbon. Then there was the silky ribbon being tied towards the top of her tail, and a sharper tug.

“All done. Can you lower your tail?”

Applejack tried to relax it, but found herself still exposed, her tail tied to the saddle so that there was no way to hide herself. “No, ma'am.”

“Oh yeah, perfect! Everypony should be able to see everything a riding pony has to offer. No pony of mine is gonna be hiding the good stuff under a pretty tail.” Dash grinned as she flew up next to AJ and tugged off the ribbon holding her mane. “You're my riding pony, and you're offering me everything, got it?”

“Yes ma'am.” Applejack nodded.

“In fact, you oughta be proud to have such an awesome mistress who wants to use you. What do you say?” Dash said in a leading tone.

“Thank you, ma'am.”

“For. . .?”

“For usin' me like this.” Applejack felt a blush burning her cheeks.

“This is so awesome.” Dash grinned and picked up the crop from where she had left it. There was a loop at one end to fit around a hoof, which she slid into place. “I'm gonna ride you now.”

Applejack grit her teeth as Dash flew over her, and she felt Dash's weight land on her back. Dash was light, in their normal lives this would have been nothing. But here, with the saddle, she seemed much heavier. Applejack was a riding pony, carrying her pegasus mistress.

Dash wrapped the reins around her hooves, and gave AJ a sharp smack with the crop. “Giddyup, pony.”

AJ grunted at the crop, but started walking. She only went a few steps when she felt a tug on one side of the harness, turning her head. Applejack followed the command, even knowing that Dash probably had no direction in mind. She was trying her out like a new toy, seeing what she did and how she worked. But she was actually Dash's toy right now. The thought made her blush, and the heat of the blush seemed to travel all over Applejack's body

Using the reins, Dash directed Applejack around the barn. Occasionally Applejack would mistake a direction, or she suspected that Dash never gave it in the first place, and the crop would land on her flank, sending a painful but exciting jolt through the earth pony.

After a while, Dash leaned forward and whispered in Applejack's ear, “You know what would be even sexier than this? If I took you into town. Like riders used to do.”

The thought of that made Applejack's heart pound. She could never do that, her pride would never let her. Everypony seeing her like this, wearing a saddle and reins, her tail tied up. . . They would know that she was Dash's willing servant in whatever she wanted.

Applejack was lost in these visions, and she hadn't even noticed Dash steering her. She looked up and her eyes went wide as she found herself staring at the door of the barn.

Dash whispered in her ear, “If I ordered you to walk out that door, and down to town like this, would you do it?”

Every part of her screamed that hay no, there's no way she'd let another pony see her like this. But the force of her willpower stood against that. She had agreed to be Dash's riding pony, and that's what she was. If Dash wanted the whole town to see her, her place was to obey. Those forces clashed within her, building a storm inside of her that almost reminded her of another kind of climax.

She grit her teeth and answered, “Yes, ma'am.”

“That's so hot.” Dash said. Applejack could feel her grinding against the saddle. “Open the door.”

Applejack forced herself to open the door to the barn, cringing back from it. It was night time. The farm was dark and quiet, but anypony could see her, her family especially. If somepony heard ponies in the yard, Mac would come out to check it out, and see her like this. She felt like she was dying inside just thinking of trying to explain it.

“Walk.” Dash commanded, and AJ couldn't hold back a whimper as she stepped out of the barn. She was shaking, Dash had to be able to feel it and AJ knew it was probably turning her on. It was turning AJ on, her tail was still tied high, unable to protect her soaked marehood from the cool night air. She was helpless to hide her arousal and just as helpless to fight it, she was there on display for the world to see.

“Maybe I'll just ride you into town right now, and show you off.” Dash whispered, sending a shiver up Applejack's spine.

Applejack took five agonizing steps into the farmyard, before Dash said, “Stop. You know, if I rode you into town I'd have to wait a while to get your tongue where it belongs. You don't want your mistress to wait, do you?”

“No, ma'am.” Applejack said quickly.

“Then get your tail back in the barn. Now.” Dash smacked Applejack with the crop and Applejack hurried to the barn.

Once inside, Dash kept the reins wrapped around her hooves and flew slowly towards a bale of hay, leading Applejack. The pegasus laid on her back on the hay and spread her hind legs, using the reins to pull AJ's face towards her aroused sex.

“Put that tongue where it belongs.” Dash ordered, grinning.

Applejack dug her tongue between the cyan lips, aiming for the spots she knew that made her mistress crazy. Short, firm flicks to her clit had the pegasus letting out staccato grunts immediately as she thrust her hips. Applejack switched to long teasing licks that traced the line from her entrance to her clit.

“Good girl.” Dash panted. “Keep going.”

As Dash's hips continued bucking, Applejack matched their rhythm by plunging her tongue into the depths of her mistress, kissing and sucking the spot as Dash's juices coated her mouth and muzzle. Dash gave a loud moan in appreciation, her rear legs wrapping around AJ's head, holding her in place to ensure she finished the job.

Applejack had no intention of stopping until Dash ordered her, so she worked Dash's sex through a long orgasm, until the panting and happy pegasus released her and said, “That's enough. Good job, pony.”

Also out of breath, Applejack nodded and waited for a command. Barely looking up, Dash asked, “What time is it?”

“I think it's near eight, ma'am.” Applejack answered, confused.

“Great. Wash your face.”

Now thoroughly confused, Applejack tossed her reins back over her head and trotted to a trough, cleaning herself as best she could around the halter. Then she went back to Dash, who had pulled herself up into the air and seemed to be listening.

A few seconds later there was a knock at the door of the barn.

Dash grinned as Applejack stared at her. They hadn't talked about having anypony else here, Applejack didn't even want anypony to know that she was doing this.

Reading her expression, Dash stroked a hoof down her mane and whispered, “Trust me.”

Applejack nodded, and Dash flew to the door. She opened it and said happily, “Come on in. Safe word is 'Appleloosa.'”

Then Dash moved aside, taking a set of saddlebags with her as Applejack's eyes went wide. There was a long list of ponies she never, ever wanted to see her like this, but towards the top of it was the white unicorn staring at her in surprise and wonder.

“Oh my.” Rarity said smiling, walking towards Applejack. She stopped in front of her and raised her eyebrows, the smile never leaving her face.

“Pony, bow to the lady.” Dash ordered.

Applejack stood frozen, a war raging in her head. The thought of bowing to Rarity of all ponies was impossible. Bowing meant submission, and she had no doubt that was what Dash intended by this little surprise. She was halfway ready to kill the pegasus for letting Rarity even see her like this.

At the same time, she saw the way Rarity was looking at her, that confidant appreciative smirk. That was the look of a mistress, and it sent shivers up Applejack's spine. Rarity added a whole new dimension to the feelings Applejack was keeping in check, and that made this even more exciting. AJ was lost in the battle between these ideas, unable to do anything but stare at Rarity.

Then she heard Dash snap “Pony!” and felt the smack of the crop on her flank. And there was nothing she could do but obey.

She bowed to Rarity, looking down. She felt a hoof on her chin, and her face was lifted until she was staring into Rarity's blue eyes.

“Do you know why Rarity is here?” Dash said next to her.

“Yes ma'am.” Applejack replied, unable to look away from the smiling unicorn.

“Tell me.” Dash said.

Applejack had to force the words out of her mouth. “I'm gonna be her ridin' pony too.”

Rarity grinned sadistically as Dash went on, “And she's gonna use you however she wants, right?”

“Yes ma'am.”

“There you go, Rarity. Check her out, she's all yours.”

“Very nice.” Rarity said, then she broke their stare and started circling the earth pony. “I love these flanks.”

“Oh yeah, those are totally hot.” Dash agreed. “And I've got her tail tied up, so the view from the back is awesome!”

“Exquisite.” Rarity said behind Applejack. ”Spread your legs, pony.”

Applejack complied, knowing exactly the view Rarity wanted. She crouched down in front, pushing her rear in the air, ready to be mounted.

“Oh my, it's warm in here.” Rarity said.

“Yeah, between your hind legs.” Dash teased.

“Rainbow Dash!” Rarity tried to admonish the pegasus, then she gave a laugh. “Well, I suppose it's unavoidable.”

“That's why she has a tongue.” Dash smirked. “First, you should take her for a ride. Don't worry about getting the saddle all wet.”

“Are you sure you don't mind?” Rarity asked Dash without a glance at Applejack.

“Nope. Have fun!” Dash flew over to a bale of hay to perch and watch.

Rarity walked over to Applejack's side. “Lower your rear.”

Applejack obeyed, and soon felt Rarity's weight on her back. The unicorn was heavier than Dash, but still not uncomfortable as AJ stood up. But then she felt a sharp tug at the reins that pulled her head back.

“Do stand up straight.” Rarity complained. Grumbles formed in Applejack's mind as Rarity kept a tight hold on the reins, keeping her posture unnaturally straight for somepony carrying something heavy on her back.

Those grumbles were erased by a hit from the crop, now floating in Rarity's magic. “Walk, pony.”

Applejack started walking. Rarity turned her head in the same ways Dash had, testing her reaction and obedience.

“I believe I could get used to this.” Rarity called to Dash.

“Yeah, you'd never have to get your hooves dirty again!” Dash said, giggling.

“It does lack a bit of style. The way she moves is so. . . work pony.” Rarity said disdainfully.

“That's true.” Dash considered. “And she's your riding pony right now. I think she should prance.”

“Excellent idea! Prance, pony.” Rarity chirped happily. Applejack started to blush, but she obeyed, quickening her pace and lifting her knees into a happy little skip.

“Oh! A little bumpy, but not at all unpleasant.” Rarity said, giggling a little.

Dash grinned. “What I wouldn't give for a camera.”

Applejack grit her teeth so hard she thought they would wear down, forcing herself to serve her rider in spite of the amusement she was giving the pegasus.

Suddenly, Applejack whimpered and her eyes went wide as a strange sensation started between her legs. It took her a second to realize that a blue glow surrounded her nub, causing the gentle stimulation that was now the only thing Applejack could think of.

“I thought that might feel nice. As long as you prance it shall continue.”

The earth pony pranced eagerly, building the pressure inside of her. The vibration remained maddeningly steady, no matter how much she wished for more sensation. But the magic was clearly doing it's job.

It became nearly impossible to move. Her face was twisted and her body was trying to seize with climax. She felt the crop against her flank, urging her on. As she fought her pleasure, pushing her body through the motions demanded by her mistress, she felt the tension release. She stumbled a step and let out a sharp gasp. The magic stopped immediately, and so did her reward. The brief orgasm was just a tease, she was completely unsatisfied, more desperate for attention then ever.

“Let me down, pony.” Rarity ordered. Applejack kneeled down and Rarity dismounted.

“Thank your mistress, pony.” Dash called from the hay. “That's way more than I would've done.”

“Thank you, ma'am.” Applejack said to Rarity.

Dash took the crop from Rarity's magic and flew up next to AJ. “Did you want more?”

“Please, ma'am”

The crop smacked her once again. “No way. Not until you take care of your mistress. Nopony is touching that wet, needy little pussy of yours until you make sure she's completely satisfied.”

Applejack looked over at Rarity, who cocked her tail to the side and smirked over her shoulder. “I trust you'll do a thorough job.”

She nodded, and moved towards the gleaming slit cautiously. Or she tried to. When she was about a foot away, she felt magic grab the back of her head and shove it towards the unicorn's presented treasure, holding it there.

Applejack took a breath through her nose, the air bringing with it the overwhelming scent of Rarity's lightly perfumed sex. She realized that she'd never even kissed Rarity, and here she was with her muzzle buried between her hind legs.

“Worship me, pony.” Rarity commanded.

Applejack hesitantly stuck out her tongue and licked between the bright white folds, tasting her for the first time.

“Oh come on, you can do better than that.” Dash said next to her, and she felt the smack of the crop. “Eat her like she deserves, riding pony.”

The slight pain and the jolt it sent between Applejack's hind legs made her moan into Rarity's pussy, but she quickly tried to follow her mistress's orders in earnest, lashing her tongue over the delicate orifice.

“Good girl.” Dash said, as Rarity started to moan and press back against AJ's muzzle. AJ felt Dash land on her back and start grinding herself against the saddle.

Applejack explored the most intimate parts of her friend with her mouth, licking and sucking at her clit, then switching to deep kisses that lightly scraped her teeth over the sensitive edges of her hole. Rarity responded by driving Applejack's face into her, using magic to push the earth pony forward while her white rear rhythmically ground against her.

Between Applejack's experience and Rarity's control over the situation, it wasn't long before Rarity was brought to orgasm, soaking Applejack's muzzle the whole time while she drew out her climax. Rarity's passionate moans were soon mixed with Dash's, as she rode AJ's saddle obviously bringing herself to the same state.

Rarity's moans grew softer, and she released her magical hold on Applejack. AJ gave a few soft nuzzles to ease her down, while Dash suddenly stopped moving on her back and leaned forward, resting against Applejack's neck.

After a few minutes, Rarity straightened up. She smoothed her mane, then looked behind her with a wicked smile, taking in her tail and the sex covered face of the riding pony standing behind it.

“You've made quite a mess. This will need to be cleaned up.” Rarity observed. Then a blue glow of magic lifted the end of Applejack's long mane and brought it to the still dripping white mound. Applejack heard Dash's snorting giggle from her back as Rarity casually used AJ's mane to clean herself.

Applejack's cheeks burned as she watched her own mane used to sop up the sticky juices from between the unicorn's legs. She couldn't look away, the sight of a part of her being used as a rag to clean Rarity's sex was humiliating and disgusting and made her whole body tense up to keep herself from saying something. No where was that tension more evident than between her own legs, where she could feel her pussy winking, wet and ready.

Applejack breathed deeply, silently hoping that the two of them would give her some kind of release soon. Every part of her was ready to explode if given any sort of pleasure.

As Rarity dropped her mane, AJ felt a soft lick on her ear. She moaned, keeping her eyes ahead. Rarity turned around and grinned, seeing the blush on her cheeks and the tension in her face.

The licking on her ear stopped, replaced by Dash's sadistic whisper, “Thank her.”

Applejack drew a shaky breath and stared at Rarity's icy eyes. Rarity's grin never left her face, but she raised her eyebrows expectantly.

“Thank you, ma'am.”

“Oh, you are quite welcome.” Rarity said straight to Applejack, then she turned to Dash. “You've trained her well.”

“Of course I have! Look at her, she was born to be a riding pony.”

“It's a shame that we don't have another riding pony,” Rarity said to Dash, but she was glancing at Applejack's face. “A huge, well endowed stallion we could force to rut her all night.”

Despite being a mare's mare, AJ's body was reacting wildly to that idea. She was already on edge, and the idea of being forced to perform like that in front of her mistresses had her wishing for the big stallion Rarity wanted.

“Rarity? You're a tease, you know that?” Dash said, grinning.

“I know. But since we don't have a stallion like that, I did bring the next best thing.” Rarity's horn glowed, and out of her saddle bag floated a large brown dildo.

Applejack's eyes went wide and she swallowed nervously, hoping they weren't serious. The toy was larger in girth than any stallion she had ever seen. She couldn't imagine it fitting inside of her. She glanced at Dash, praying that this was a joke.

Dash was looking between her and the toy, grinning. “Yes! This is gonna be amazing.”

“I felt we should offer her something. To prevent her from acting up in discontent.” Rarity explained.

“That oughta take care of her.” Dash said with a laugh. Then she said in AJ's ear, “Think about that thing pushing into you. It's gonna stretch you so much. . . it'll look awesome.”

“It's too big.” Applejack said. She felt the crop hit her flank.

“I didn't ask you, pony.” Dash said with a smirk. She flew off AJ and landed in front of her. “But if you're worried, I'll let you beg us for mercy. As long as you get in position.”

Applejack crouched her front and stuck her rear up. She swallowed the last of her pride, and closed her eyes. “Please don't use that on me, ma'am. It's gonna hurt. Ya' know I never had nothin' that big. Please.”

“Oh, I know” Dash agreed. “I've been letting you off too easy, that's gonna give you the pounding you need.”

“I don't need poundin'! I'm just dandy. . . I'll take care of the two of ya' real good if you'll put that away. Please, lemme take care of ya, anythin' you can think. I won't make a whimper for myself, ya' got my word.” Applejack stammered. She felt a delicate tongue invade her hot sex with a long sensuous lick. “Oooooh Celestia.”

“You are the worst liar.” Dash said, amused. “You need this. You want it so bad, and Rarity just proved it. Now. . . take it like a good pony.”

She felt the cool tip of the object press against her exposed wet hole and whimpered. “Please! You can use somethin' else, just not- unnnnnh!”

She was cut off by her own cry as the huge toy was pressed into her. Her muscles contracted, trying to keep it out, and she found herself fighting a painful and losing battle against the full force of Rarity's magic.

“Stop it- Please-” She panted, the safeword swimming in her mind, teasing her.

It stopped, and Applejack took a deep breath just as it shoved a few inches deeper, taking the breath away. She felt tears in her eyes and tried to fight them back. “No more! Please! It hurts!”

She felt a hoof stroke her mane, and Dash's calm voice ordered, “Look at me, pony.”

Applejack looked up into Dash's calm, smirking face.

“Relax. It's going in, so just relax and it'll hurt less.”

Applejack took a breath and nodded. Dash looked over to Rarity. “Give her a minute.”

Trying to make herself relax seemed impossible. No matter how she told herself that this was okay, her body was rebelling against it. It didn't help that the part of her mind trying to make this work was also fighting the parts of herself that realized that she was wearing a saddle and being violated for the pleasure of two other ponies.

The tension of trying to relax enough to allow the enormous thing inside of her was the same tension she'd been fighting all day, but she was afraid she's pushed it to the breaking point. Combined with the pain of her stretched pussy, the safeword was on the tip of her tongue. She hated to give in, but the word was there for a reason, she had to have a limit to what she could put herself through.

Then Dash whispered, “I wanna watch you take that. Take it for me.”

“Yes, ma'am.” Applejack said, taking a deep breath as her willpower returned. She felt her whole body relax slightly. The pain didn't matter, what mattered was what her pegasus mistress wanted. “Gimme more, please.”

AJ groaned as it was forced deeper, filling her in ways she'd never imagined, until the fake stallionhood couldn't go any farther. Once it stopped moving she took a few slow deep breaths, trying to prepare herself for the pounding she was sure to be getting. Despite the discomfort, anticipation made her clench around the object.

Behind her, Rarity gasped. “Beautiful. Those amazing tensed muscles, the obscenity of the toy stretching her beyond endurance. Rainbow, you simply must see this.”

Dash left her side and flew over her. Applejack heard her land, then silence for a moment before she heard a squeaky, shaky moan. “That- That's the hottest thing I've ever seen.”

“Watch this.” Rarity suggested.

The object was pulled out slowly, inch by inch, dragging against her passage. When all she could feel was the tip still in her, just as she started to relax, the entire length was rammed back inside. It slid in quickly and easily, lubricated by her juices, but Applejack let out a loud grunt as her muscles clenched around the invading force.

“Oh my gosh, give it to her faster. Make her scream.” Dash requested breathlessly.

Applejack barely had time to draw a breath before the toy was tugged out of her and thrust back inside, forcing another grunt from her and quickly drawing out a second time and forcing it's way back in place.

The motion was repeated over and over, in and out of her like an unstoppable machine. She tried to lean away from the non-existent stallion ramming her but the toy moved with her; there was no way to escape the huge dildo pounding her. She clenched against it, but that only made every sensation stronger.

The toy fought and won against her body. In her mind battles raged between pleasure and pain, tension and release, submission and rebellion, building into an incomprehensible force that froze her entire body and cleared her mind as she threw her head back and screamed over and over.

Applejack had no idea how long she was lost in that release, but after some time her screams quieted to whimpers, and the toy slowed and stopped, and she fell to the ground panting. The toy pulled out of her for the last time, and she looked back and saw Rarity and Rainbow Dash staring at her in wonder.

Laying on the ground, she closed her eyes. Rarity's magic was quickly transferred to the saddle and harness, unbuckling them and whisking them away. As worn as Applejack's body was, it felt lighter without the costume. Removing it calmed the last of her repressed feelings and allowed her to truly relax for the first time since Dash brought that box into the barn.

“AJ? Are you okay?” Dash asked, concerned.

“Tired. Get on over here, sugarcube.” Applejack said, eyes still closed. Dash hurried to her side and laid down next to her, nuzzling her face. Applejack opened one eye and saw Rarity standing and watching them. “You too, missy. I reckon you owe me a few nuzzles, too.”

Rarity smiled and laid down on the other side of Applejack, giving her a friendly nuzzle on the cheek. “I owe you quite a lot, darling. That was unbelievable.”

“It was nothin'. It was hot for me too.” Applejack chuckled. “Course I'm gonna be walkin' funny for a few days.”

“That was not nothing,” Dash said, running a hoof over AJ's back. “There's nothing in Equestria sexier than how strong you were wearing that saddle. I don't know how you can do everything we made you do without bucking somepony in the face. You know I could never do it, I freak out if you get too mean to me.”

Applejack smiled. “I know it, sugarcube. That's why I got rope.”

“Do the two of you do this often?” Rarity asked, levitating a wet cloth from the trough and using it to clean the sex and sweat from Applejack's coat and mane.

“We take turns.” Applejack rolled her eyes at the washing up but didn't protest Rarity's treatment. “Never had nopony to play with us, though. That was a real humdinger, Dash.”

“You took it like a champ.” Dash said happily. “I was sure you'd call the safeword on that one.”

Rarity raised a disapproving eyebrow at Dash. “And you invited me anyway?”

“We like it rough.” Dash said with an impish grin and a shrug.

“I noticed.” Rarity said with a smirk.

Applejack chuckled and nudged Rarity. “Didn't see you holdin' back there.”

“Yes, about that. . .” A worried look crossed Rarity's face. “Applejack, darling, I'd like to apologize in case I said or did anything. . . insensitive.”

“Uh, Rarity? That was kinda the point of the thing.” Applejack said with a smirk.

“I meant, well, offensive,” She nodded towards the saddle.

“Oh, that. Well, neither of y'all would keep a ridin' pony, right?”

“No way!" Dash said, shaking her head. "That's totally wrong."

“Perish the thought.” Rarity insisted.

“Then I reckon that as long as we're all okay with it and we never tell nopony, there ain't no harm in sayin' some stuff that'd get ya' bucked in the face some other time.” Applejack said with a look to both Rarity and Dash that emphasized the last part she said.

“And we're never telling anypony about this, ever.” Dash said quickly.

“Thought ya' wanted to ride me into town?” Applejack teased.

“Oh my gosh, do I. But you know what ponies would think if I did that. I could kiss the Wonderbolts goodbye if they thought I treated earth ponies like that.”

“I know.” Applejack smiled and nuzzled Dash. “I knew you were bluffin'.”

“So in that case, are you going to dispose of the saddle? There's no way you can keep that. If somepony found it. . .” Rarity trailed off, leaving the rest unspoken.

Dash looked at the saddle wistfully and nodded sadly. But Applejack gave it a harder look.

After a few moments, she said, “No way we're getting' rid of it. That's my saddle. Dash mighta paid for it, but I reckon I earned it.”

“Really AJ?” Dash's face lit up. “You mean it? You're gonna keep it?”

“Yup. I'll find a hidin' spot for it, and I don't gotta worry like you two do. Anypony who finds it might think I got some screws loose, but I guess that's just a fact.” Applejack said with a chuckle.

Dash was in awe. “That is too awesome. So can me and Rarity play with you again sometime?”

“Sure can, if Rarity wants.”

“I'll look forward to it.” Rarity said with a wicked smirk.

Dash grinned and squealed, But Applejack just nuzzled her and got a smirk just as wicked as Rarity's.

“Don't get too worked up. It's your turn next, sugarcube, and after this, I ain't goin' easy on ya.”
