A Gentleman's Journal: Eat my Dust! Or, I get a very odd client
#2 of A Gentleman's Journal
The continueing adventures of Edmund Johnson
2 of the story
Prologue
Lightning Dust stood between the two NCO's and she knew something bad was about to happen, the grim look on Spitfire's face left no doubt of that.
When her leader badge was ripped from her uniform she was shocked, but no big deal right? She could prove herself again.
But then came the unexpected blow as Spitfire pointed with her hoof.
No, this couldn't be! She was being kicked out?
Her heart sank, and her head with it.
As she was led away, she made a show of defiance and flicked her wing out as if to say " I don't need this place!" but her heart was broken, her dreams had crashed down all around her, and it was taking every ounce of resolve she possessed not to dissolve into tears.
I awoke to the sound of the phone ringing, and I fumbled in the dark before managing to pick up the headpiece.
'Yeah, what is it?' I mumbled
'Oh, I'm sorry, I must have entered the wrong number!'
'Ever Ring? Why are you calling me now? It's six in the morning!'
'Edmund? Is that you?' came the incredulous response
'It is me; just a tick,' I cleared my throat before continuing in received pronunciation, 'do you recognise me now?'
'Wow, you sound so different in your natural accent!'
'Yes, it's all very impressive, but if you don't mind can you just tell me what you called for so I can get back to sleep?'
'Okay grumpy guts, I have another job for you, so meet me in the hotel restaurant at half past eight, got it?'
'All right then, goodbye.' I said, starting to hang up
'Oh, and Ed? Don't sleep in!' called Ever Ring loudly
'Don't worry, I'll be there.' I said, before hanging up
I lay there for a while contemplating blowing her off
'Call me at six in the morning, just who does she think she is?' I huffed
Try as I might, sleep would not come to me, so with a resigned sigh, I flung the bedclothes off and made my way to the kitchen to make a coffee.
At five to eight, I left my room, picking up my complimentary copy of the Equestria Gazette
the front page headline read,
Strange occurrences at ducal palace
"Rumours abound as to just what is taking place at the palace of Duchess Emerald Château, with many neighbours reporting an unusual amount of potion ingredients being delivered and regular loud bangs and other strange phenomena. One farmer who asked that we not reveal their name made the following statement, 'You take it from me, the Duchess is up to summat! If I know her, she's concocting some spell or potion what won't bode well for the humans.'
The Duchess herself however denied these claims, dismissing them as 'Mere gossip, the very stuff of every lurid fantasy you can think of.' "
'Bloomin' heck! Some ponies are more like humans than most realise.' I thought.
I chose to have a vegetarian omelette for breakfast, a light, but filling meal.
I began to read the rest of the paper and came across another story that caught my eye.
As I read, I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, and I heard someone sit on the armchair opposite.
'Morning Ever Ring!' I said, not looking up from the newspaper.
'I'm glad to see that you're awake, I had my doubts after I called you.' she replied
'Well of course, you don't think I'd welsh did you?'
'No, not for a moment!' came the reply, in a tone that suggested she knew very well I had intended to roll over and go back to sleep.
'It seems Harry and Luna were together over the weekend.' I said, trying to make conversation.
'What! ' she very nearly shouted
'It says here that Prince Harry and Princess Luna dashed away to an exclusive Barbadian resort and some gossip rag paparazzo took a picture that could imply some sort of relationship. Clarence House denies it of course. They say that they are just good friends, with much in common to discuss.'
'Oh, right, of course.' she said with a nervous laugh
'Who did you think I meant?' I asked, curious as to her odd reaction.
'Nopony! It's just a bit of a shock, that's all.' she stammered, 'A human prince, and a millennia old alicorn princess?'
'Quite.' I said simply, indicating that I wished to move on.
'Anyway, about your next job.' she said, clearly relieved at the change in topic.
I carefully folded the broadsheet and laid it on the coffee table between us.
'I'm all ears.' I said and smoothed my trousers nonchalantly
'With Octavia, you proved that you can be a charmer, but now you will need to show a more rugged side.'
'Rugged as in how, exactly?' I asked, worrying that she expected me to act like some sort of caveman.
'This client has expressed her desire for a gentleman that can be dominating, forceful - a man who can take the lead.'
'Oh, so someone to sweep her off her hooves, carry her up the stairs and ravish her from dusk 'til dawn?' I asked dryly
'Good, you got the picture. No fancy poetry on this one Ed, just some rough and tumble in the bedroom and that's all she has asked for.'
'Well, it's not really my style, but I can do that I suppose.'
'That's the attitude we like to see at Gentlemen for Mares!' she said nodding in approval
'So do I get to know her name, and what type of pony is she?' I asked
'She's a pegasus by the name of Lightning Dust, her info is in this dossier.' she said, tossing a brown file onto the table. Inside was a booking form with a more detailed brief of what the job was.
'She wants to be scared?' I asked, reading her booking form
'Oh, yes. She wants to be frightened, so show your teeth, talk about eating meat and how you enjoy it.' Ever Ring suggested
'Okay, but how will I kn-,'
'If she says "key ring" stop. That's the safe word for if she is too scared.' she cut me off with the answer to my unfinished question
'Okay then, I think I've got a handle on what to do.' I said with a confidence I didn't really have.
'Good, before I go, I need to give you these,' she said, reaching into her saddlebag 'The red is a warming draught and the blue is a cloud walking potion.'
I took the three vials floating in her magical aura.
And the other? I asked curious as to what it did
'Think of it as magical Viagra. It keeps you harder for longer without cumming.' Ever Ring replied
I was shocked and more than a little insulted.
'Do you really think I need this?'
'Just take it, when you need it.'
I was in no mood to argue, so I let the matter rest.
'So when do I take these?' I asked, examining the contents of the other two vials.
'You need to take them just before you step onto Cloudsdale, any sooner, and you may run out of time. They last twelve hours only, so be in the pick up spot before eight tomorrow morning, or you'll have a long trip down unless somepony catches you.'
I had a nasty image of myself falling through the clouds to my death.
'Right, I won't be forgetting that then.' I said weakly
'See that you don't, we'd hate to lose you. Oh, and by the way, you first commission should be in your account by now, don't go spending it all at once.'
Ever Ring stood up to leave but as she walked away, a thought struck me.
'Before you leave, I'd like to ask a favour.'
She stopped and gave me "the look". 'Go on then what is it?'
I want a week off some time soon.' I said
Ever Ring flipped through her dairy with impressive speed.
'I can give one week in a fortnight.' she said sternly.
'Thank you, Ever Ring, you are too kind.'
'I know.' she quipped as she sauntered away
I returned to my room and immediately sat at the desk and began writing a letter.
"My own darling,
I have managed to secure week long break in two weeks time, I hope that you will be able to make some time to spend together.
I am missing you terribly, and will count every hour, every minute until I hold you in my arms once more.
With all my love,
Edmund"
I folded the parchment and slipped it into an envelope, wet the gum with my tongue and smoothed the flap down so that it stuck properly. Having affixed the stamp, and written the address, I hurried to the post office to catch the morning pick up. Turning right as I left the hotel I passed a news-stand, and saw one of the women's magazines ( I forget which ) with a photo of Prince Harry with his arm around Princess Luna whilst kissing her on the cheek as its cover photo. ROYAL RENDEZVOUS! screamed the header.
I shook my head as I passed this reminder of tabloid journalism.
On my way back, I decided to stop in at the local bank and check my balance.
When I saw the number printed on the slip of paper that the cashier had slid over the counter, the eyes very nearly popped out of my skull!
I won't say how much it was, but it was more money than I had ever dreamed possible to earn in one night.
When I returned to my hotel, I strode to the concierge desk and rang the bell.
'How may I help you sir?' asked the short, dignified looking human that answered my call.
'I'd like to make a reservation for one person in the early dinner at three O'clock please.'
'Certainly sir.' came the well polished response.
With dinner organised, I made my way to my room. Once there I closed my door behind me, and made my way to the kitchen for a drink.
'Speaking of rendezvous, I'd better prepare for this evening.'
Glass of lemonade in hand, I eased into a wicker chair on the balcony and began reading a book published by Gentlemen for Mares, "The manners of a Gentleman: what mares want". It was a useful little book full of the common pitfalls of dating a mare and how to avoid them, as well as more intimate information. I flipped through until I reached the section on Pegasi.
"Pegasi naturally feel vulnerable when their wings are in any way unable to move freely, and if their wings are even touched without warning, they will often buck without thinking. The sure sign that a pegasus mare trusts you is that she allows you to touch her wings. If a pegasus allows you to totally immobilise their wings, this is the ultimate display of trust and often a declaration of love."
This information, in addition to what I knew about the client gave me some idea as to what I needed to do. So with very little else to do, and knowing I would get very little sleep that night, I set my alarm and slept until mid afternoon.
Upon waking my first thing was to head to the hotel restaurant.
'May I take your order sir?' asked a unicorn waiter after I had read through the menu
I considered for a moment, the cost of imported human food was almost double, but it was worth it so I went ahead and ordered what I really wanted.
'Yes, for first course I'd like the omelette fines herbs. And for the main course I'll have the filet Mignon - medium rare, and no dessert thank you.'
'Of course sir.' replied the waiter, jotting down my order
It was then the turn of the sommelier to ask me what I wished to drink.
'Has sir selected a wine to go with sirs meal?'
'I have. The '97 Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon please.'
'Ah, a fine choice sir, coming right away.'
I ate the meal at my leisure, savouring the taste and texture of fine food.
The restaurant was mainly patronised by humans, but here and there were ponies. Some were alone, others with humans - I spotted a unicorn mare at a table for two with a tall, blond haired man. When he reached to pick up his wineglass, I saw that the ring he wore on his left ring finger matched the ring adorning the horn of his date.
The realisation suddenly hit me, 'They're married!' I knew of course that humans and ponies did marry each other, in much the same way ponies married each other - sometimes monogamously, sometimes with one man and many mares.
Seeing my first interspecies couple made me wonder if Milky Way and I would ever get married.
However I couldn't dwell on such thoughts for long, as I had to prepare for tonight.
I returned to my room and meditated, hoping for the strength of mind and body to do what was required of me this evening. Once that was done, I showered briefly before dressing in my cheapest suit, a nasty polyester job that cost far more than it was worth.
Leaving the room I grabbed a small duffel bag and slung it over my shoulder.
As I entered the lobby, the grandfather clock struck six.
I exited through the revolving door, and there waiting for me was a pegasus drawn chariot.
I showed my ID card and we left for Cloudsdale without a single word. I supposed that he was one of those ponies none too keen on the line of work I was now in.
After quite a long journey, we pulled up at jetty made of cloud.
'Well, no time like the present, I suppose.' I said, pulling the vials from my pocket
I drank the red vial, and immediately felt a warmth fill my body
'It feels like I just took some brandy!" I enthused, uncorking the blue vial
As I drank the liquid within, I began to feel lighter, less substantial.
I put one foot over the edge of the chariot and slowly brought it down.
I knew that the potions had taken their full effect, but even so, my step was full of trepidation.
Once sure of my safety, I jumped up and down for the thrill of walking on clouds!
'Be here at eight in the morning.' the driver said gruffly before flying off.
I set off, making sure to make a mental note of the names of the street names as I walked.
I soon found Lightning Dusts' home, and I rang the bell smartly.
It wasn't long before the door opened to reveal a teal coated pony with amber eyes and a saffron and amber mane cut short, swept back and with but two locks sticking up.
'Huh, so you're it?' she said disdainfully
I showed her my ID 'That's right, name's Dandyman, now get inside.' I replied bluntly in an exaggerated version of my own accent
At first, her eyes narrowed at my order, but then her wings began flapping with excitement
The moment the door closed, I slapped her flank.
'Oi, you! Bedroom. Now.'
I followed her close as she hurried to her bedroom, marvelling at the fact that everything was cloud.
'Wha-what are you going to do to me?' she asked, jumping onto her bed.
'Oh, don't worry, it'll be a lot of fun.' I answered, grinning as evilly as possible.
At the sight of my teeth, she shrank back.
'Oh, what's this? Lightning Dust, the most fearless mare in Equestria; scared of my teeth?' I asked mockingly.
She nodded dumbly.
I approached her, and she remained rooted to the the spot with fear.
'This very evening I ate sweet, succulent meat with these teeth. I tore and sliced though it and chewed it all up!' It was was so tender and juicy!'
'And now I'm going to eat you!' I said, flashing my creepiest, most threatening smile I could before jumping on the bed next to her
I nibbled her ear gently before I moved onto my true goal.
'No! Don't! St-'
Her protests devolved into a low moan as I began lapping at her cunt like a thirsty dog at a water bowl. With seemingly callous disregard for what she wanted, I explored her most intimate of places. I buried my face deep and probed deep with my tongue into her tight hole.
I spread her fat outer lips with my fingers and found what I was looking for.
'My my, you sure do have a big one don't you?' I teased
'Noooo!' came the pitiful response
'Oh yes, this is the biggest clit I've ever seen!' I said and to emphasise my words, I gave it a slow lick.
'Annnh!' was the only response from Lightning Dust
I slid my tongue around the hardened nub poking out of her slit and began sucking it.
With her clit being so big, and different to a humans, I was able to continue teasing her entrance with my fingers.
Never penetrating, just tracing the outside, this - in addition to the attentions of my mouth and tongue on her clit were having incredible effect.Lightning Dust was literally in the throes of passion as she shook with every flick of my tongue, every motion of my fingers, all the while moaning in unrestrained pleasure.
'Well, well, well! I wonder what would happen if everypony knew that the tough tomcolt who always boasts of her fearlessness and composure goes to pieces when her big ol' clitty is teased?' I asked, lightly tapping her engorged nub
'You're terrible! I hate you! You're worthless!' she shouted, tears streaming down her muzzle.
I was shocked at this outburst, but since it was my job I kept going. However, I resolved to give her a chance to say the safety word.
'Now that's not how you talk to me is it? What's the magic word?'
'Loser! Failure! I'll never say it, so do your worst!' she shouted back at me
'All right then, this is where things get real fun!' I said reaching into the bag I'd brought with me
I pulled out a length of soft, yet strong rope
'No!' she gasped
'Yes, I'm going to stop those little wings of yours from flapping, just to remind you of who's in charge here. Now be a good filly and hold still.' I said, snapping the length of rope taut to emphasise the threat.
I was full of self loathing, saying the words I spoke, behaving the way I did. But then I reminded myself that she clearly had some issues to work through, and this is how she'd chosen to do so.
Though she trembled, she allowed me to firmly bind her wings.
'Trussed up like a turkey! Except I'm going to be doing all the gobbling. For now' I added darkly
I returned my attentions to her sopping slit to renewed moans and fresh insults.
'You can't do anything right! Why'd they choose you?' she sobbed
When I began my usual trick of flicking her clit with my tongue, her breath became a shudder, and then with a deafening howl, she came, her wings straining against the rope.
'Now that you've had yours it's time for mine.' I said, moving up to her head. 'Look at this, isn't this what you wanted? A nice fat human dick?'
She shook her head weakly, wet tracks on her fur from her tears
'No?' I said in a sing-song voice, 'Of course it is, you crave it, you've been thinking of what human cock is like ever since you booked a gentleman! So here's your chance to find out. '
Slowly, cautiously, she stuck her tongue out and gave the tip of my cock a lick, getting a taste of pre-cum.
'There, see that's not too difficult is it?' I said mockingly, 'Now suck me off!'
And without any further hesitation, she complied, sucking my cock with slow, but determined strokes.
'Oh, you little slut, using the tongue!' I said, as she wrapped her tongue around my shaft
The only response was soft moans that vibrated through my cock.
'Oh yes, I'm going to cum! Get ready to swallow!' I told her, grabbing her head and beginning to thrust into her.
Tears streamed down her face,and she gagged slightly as thrust deeper and faster as my orgasm approched 'Ahh! yes!!' I moaned as I felt my first spurt leave me.
As I came, she swallowed, even lapping at my urethra after I pulled out.
'Wow, you're a proper little cum whore aren't you?' I mocked as she swallowed my load
'Shut up loser, it was gross! I only swallowed it to get it out of my mouth.' she shot back, cheeks flushed and mane ruffled
'Ha! Well I think now is the time for me to give you what you're really dying for.' I said, reaching into the duffel bag again.
I felt the glass of the vial, and pulled it out. I was swallowing my pride but I couldn't relent for one second. I was in character, and couldn't allow the mask to slip.With one smooth movement, I uncorked the tiny vial and poured the liquid down my throat.
It felt like electricity was coursing in my veins and it was like I'd been given a boost of energy.
'Oh yes, I'm going to stuff you my sexy little turkey.' I said, spreading her hind legs wide
'You beast!' she cried out
'Yes, that's right.' I replied, feigning disinterest
Without warning, I slid my cock head into her vagina. It was tight, tighter than I had ever expected
'Damn, you're tight; not many stallions have been here it seems! Not to worry, I'll shape this passage to my measure!'
I began thrusting in and out of her, marvelling at her tightness and just how turned on she was. It was like a dam had burst with a never-ending stream of juice easing my passage.
'You really like this don't you?' I mocked as I slammed in and out of her
The only response was a drawn out moan.
After a few minutes, I could tell she was on the verge of a second orgasm, so I purposely held back until she had cooled off.
'Oh, I'm so close to cumming, I want to cum!' she moaned
'Oh not yet.' I replied evilly
'Please, let me cum!' she begged, her voice full of need
'Admit that you love my cock.'
'Nooo!'
I stopped thrusting and she shivered with anticipation.
'All right, I do, I love your human cock it tasted so good and it feels so good! Now, please, make me cum!' she begged again,. She squirmed beneath me in an attempt to gain some pleasure.
'I don't think I will.' I replied, and held her down with my hands, halting her movements.
'But you said. . .'
'I never said I'd let you cum if you admitted to liking my cock, did I?'
'Ahh, you jerk!'
'Yes, but perhaps if you admit that you're the loser, the one that failed. If you say that you flunked out of the Wonderbolt Academy I think I'll let you cum.'
'Promise?' she moaned as I slid back into her
'I promise.'
'Yes! It's true! I did , I'm such a screw up! My whole life ruined because I was too stubborn to listen to reason!' she sobbed
'For finally being honest, I'm going to give you a reward.' I told her and began thrusting in earnest
Truthfully, I couldn't have lasted much longer myself.
If I thought she had sprung a leak before, that was nothing compared to the gush of warm fluid that splashed against my thighs as she whinnied loudly and her already tight hole constricted in waves around my shaft.
'There, you go!' I said as with one final thrust I blasted my cum inside her spasming pussy
I pulled out, and some of our mixed fluids trickled out.
Worn out with both the physical and mental strain of the nights work, I collapsed next to her and untied the rope.
Before I fell asleep, I heard Lightning Dust whisper 'Thank you'
The bright sun woke me up and I knew that I was all but out of time so I dressed in my rumpled clothes and left my card on the bedside table, which like all the furniture was made of clouds.
She looked so peaceful as she slept, so I didn't have the heart to wake her.
As I made my way to the pick up spot, I could feel the potions wearing off. I was much colder, and my feet sank further into the clouds with each passing minute. Thankfully, I made it to the chariot before it wore off completely.
The next day I had one hell of a headache, a reaction to the potions apparently.
'You might have warned me before hand!' I yelled from the bathroom after throwing up yet again.
'Quit complaining, you'll be fine!' Ever Ring shouted back
I stood shakily and entered the main room.
'You know, I'm having second thoughts about this job. First you send me to a really classy lady, then you send me to a mare with some rather bizarre kinks.'
'Oh, come on Ed, you're doing great!'
'Yeah great, I certainly feel great.'
'Platinum just likes to test the newbies, give them interesting assignments. If she didn't think you were up to it, she wouldn't give you the job. You know what they say, "The fastest way to learn to swim is get thrown in the deep end." '
'Who says that!?' I thought furiously
I let out a groan as my stomach rumbled, 'I suppose I can take that as a compliment.' I said, trying to see the bright side of it.
Soon it was the afternoon of the last Friday before my trip to visit Milky Way and I was in my new office counting down the minutes to closing time.
I was busy filing some stock certificates for Filthy Rich's investments in Britain, when the little bell on the door rang. I swivelled round in my chair and to my surprise came face to face with Lightning Dust.
'You! What are you doing here?' she asked, plainly as surprised as I was at meeting her like this
'This is my office.'
'But you're a Gentleman!' she protested
'I am also a lawyer. How may I help you today?'
'But, but - the other night, you.'
'Please, let us not mix professions shall we?'
She looked taken aback at the difference in demeanour and accent between now and our prior meeting.
'Okay then, I'm wondering if you can help me?' she said hesitantly
'I'm sure I can, what legal service are you after?'
'Well, I'm hoping to convince the Wonderbolts to give me a second chance and I need help pleading my case, writing formal letters and things like that.'
I considered for a moment. Was it ethical to take on her case in light of the events of a few nights ago? on one hand, no it was not at all ethical. But then, she had hired me for the purpose of working through her feelings of inadequacy for being dismissed from the academy. Having done that, could I now abandon her know she was trying again?
I glanced at her and one look at her anxious face was enough for me to know what my answer would be.
I sighed "Of all the law firms, in all the towns, in all Equestria, she had to walk into mine!" I thought, paraphrasing Casablanca.
'I know I asked that we not discuss our previous engagement, but I must ask if you're comfortable having me represent you in a professional capacity.'
'I am.' she said simply
'Right then, I think I can spare a few minutes to cover the basic facts of your case.'
I had a client, soon I'd be with my sweetheart and life was going well.
