He turned to face Rarity, nuzzling gently against her neck for a brief moment, and the unicorn gave a warm and encouraging sigh. There it was. He hadn't just imagined it. This was real. It was all he cared about. Mac shifted again, aching now. He gave up trying to hide his shame, having grown too much from this teasing to have any chance of concealing it. He was so stiff, he hurt. And Rarity saw. Her eyes fell discreetly to Big McIntosh's shame - or rather, his pride. She grinned, unseen, and bit her tongue. What a shame she wouldn't get to enjoy it. But that's the kind of selfless sacrifice she was used to making for her friends. She only hoped they'd appreciate it this time. "Rarity," he murmured hotly, eager but controlled, "...Y'can't tell AJ about this." He leaned toward her ear, anxious to nibble it. But suddenly, the unicorn pulled away.
"Oh my!" She said with forced surprise, "That reminds me! I completely forgot. I have to get Applejack's saddle fixed by this afternoon! Please, excuse me!" She stood up and hurried to the door at the back of the store. Mac looked on with his jaw hanging open. The sprig of wheat he carried in his mouth fell to the floor. She couldn't be serious. The door shut behind her. She was serious.
He stared for a long moment at the back door, leading to Rarity's room. But she hadn't invited him along. In fact, it sounded like she locked the door. He couldn't believe it. She had been so obvious. And now Mac ached worse than ever. He stood at full-mast, erect and eager, and a dull, deep pain ached through him with every pulse of his heartbeat. He bit his lip and sighed shakily.
And then the door swung open with a jingle, and a familiar yellow filly paced inside. "Oh. Hello," she murmured softly. |
