Chapter 11: R&R
Riley stirred in her bed and slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the roof of the stable and groaned to herself. Her muscles ached and her feet, her feet were in agony. She replayed yesterdays events in her mind, the triumphant feeling she had when Madame Miller had certified her to use the full training ground, that she'd hidden how sore she had been to achieve that goal and then the medical check up.
She had never felt closer to Alexis that night and wanted to tell her how much she wanted to be with her all the time. Especially after Alexis had brought her to one of the most powerful orgasms of her life. But it was the @Pony Tail incident that was front and foremost in her head. She didn't feel sorry for how she'd broken down but equally she wanted to be stronger for Alexis.
Riley rolled onto her side and was startled. "Miss Miller!" she exclaimed. Alexis was laying against the wall inside Riley's stall. She waas still fully dressed in her riding outfit. She stirred and looked up at Riley. "Oh. Morning gorgeous." She smiled. "God, it feels like I slept on a concrete floor last night!" She chuckled.
Alexis blinked a few times as she stretched and yawned. "How are you feeling today, Riley?" Alexis asked with that concerned tone Riley had grown to love. "You were a bit overwhelmed yesterday. I'm sorry about that." Alexis looked away as she sat with her back to the wall. "I didn't want you to wake up alone this morning."
Alexis replied as she leaned against the wall in the stall. The sunlight was filtering through the gaps in the stable and cast a golden glow on her face. Alexis watched Riley and tried to gauge her mood.
Riley smiled gently, feeling a warmth spread through her at Alexis's words. "I'm okay, Miss Miller. Just a bit sore, but I think my feet are calming down." She paused then asked "How are you feeling today?" Riley asked softy as she got up from her bed. She stretched out her limbs on the floor, trying to work out the kinks from sleeping in an unfamiliar position. The straw rustled beneath her bare feet, grounding her in the present moment. She winced as she put pressure on her feet.
"I saw that." Alexis said. "You are taking it easy today, girl." Alexis lifted herself up and moved towards RIley. Riley was completely naked as she always was in her stall but this was now normal for her. "Sit back down. Today you are going to rest, relax and be pampered by me!" Alexis said as she picked up a small bottle of oil and massaged it gently between her hands. Riley bit her lip, still a little uncertain about her new role, but the warmth in Alexis's eyes and the gentle touch of her hands reassured her. She sat back down on her bed, the straw rustling as she sat.
"Today we take it easy." Alexis said as she applied the oil to Riley's feet and started to massage them. Riley hissed at the initial contact but as Alexis started to ease the tension, she found herself relaxing into the soothing rhythm. Alexis's hands were strong yet gentle, working out the knots and soreness that had built up over the past few days.
She could feel the tension melting away under her touch, Riley's breath coming in soft sighs of relief. The stable was quiet, but Riley thought she heard movement and a gate opening somewhere inside the stable. Alexis continued to gently massage Riley's feet. "How does that feel Riley?" Alexis asked softly, her eyes locked onto Riley’s. The air between them was heavy with the scent of the oil and the faint musk of the stables. Alexis's hands, warm and firm, worked their magic on Riley's sore feet. The tails of her riding boots brushed against the straw-covered floor as she shifted her position to get a better angle. Riley's feet were incredibly sore, but under Alexis's touch, she could feel the pain slowly dissipating, replaced by a soothing warmth.
Riley closed her eyes, letting out a soft sigh. "It feels amazing, Miss Miller. Thank you." The straw rustled beneath her as she shifted slightly, trying to get more comfortable. "Could you maybe stretch my hooves...i mean my toes, please."
Alexis grinned. "Oh so now you're making requests?" she teased but her voice was warm and it was clear she was happy Riley was feeling comfortable enough to ask for what she needed. "I'm just saying I think a little stretching is in order." Alexis winked and gently grasped Riley's big toe, stretching it slowly and firmly. Her fingers curled around the swell of Riley's foot. Riley let out a gasp and then a soft whinny. "You really know how to make me feel better, Miss Miller." Riley said softly her eyes closed and her face a picture of serenity. Rileys toes stretched and bent as Alexis' fingers worked their magic on them. "You have such beautiful feet, my little pony.
I want to take such good care of you today" Alexis said as she stretched Riley's toes, her voice soft and soothing. She moved to Riley's other foot, applying the same gentle pressure and rhythmic motion. Riley’s body relaxed further, her muscles unwinding under Alexis's expert touch. The stable's air was thick with the scent of the oil and the faint earthiness of the hay, and the atmosphere was serene, peaceful. Riley could feel the tension melting away, her body aching from the recent exertions, but Alexis's touch brought a gentle relief.
Alexis continued to massage Riley's feet and her calves. Her fingers worked their magic, kneading the knots and soreness. "We'll be getting you a full body massage later, this is just a bonus." Alexis smiled. "Today is going to be like a spa day for you my beautiful Pony Girl." Alexis grabbed her foot and started to stretch it, paying close attention to each toe. She pushed and pulled on each one, making sure they were all stretched and relaxed. Riley let out a soft whinny and Alexis couldn't help but smile.
"Oh no, do you need more toys to play with?" Alexis teased, then wiggled her eyebrows at Riley. Alexis moved to the back of Riley's calf and she noticed that she could smell something. Alexis leaned in closer knowing that Riley had a fetish for smells and she could smell her. Her nose twitched and she smiled. Alexis then moved to the smile on Riley’s face.
"Miss Miller?" Riley asked as she looked at Alexis in confusion.
Alexis looked down and back up at Riley and her face was a picture of innocence. "You smell amazing, Riley. What perfume are you wearing?" Alexis winked.
Riley giggled. "Well, if it's sweat, massage oil, straw, porride...." Riley was counting things off on her fingers as she smiled back at Alexis. "...pee, cum, umm maybe a fart...then it's eau de Riley."
Alexis laughed, a warm, infectious sound that filled the stable. She leaned in closer, her nose twitching as she took in Riley's scent. "And it's intoxicating." She said and leaned back on her heels.
Riley blushed, her cheeks flushing a soft pink. She looked down at her feet, her toes wiggling slightly as Alexis continued to massage them. "I'm glad you think so, Miss Miller." She said, her voice soft and shy. She was still getting used to the intimacy of their interactions, the way Alexis seemed to enjoy every aspect of her, even the parts she herself found embarrassing. "There's something about this life, Miss Miller, that is so dehumanizing. But, while i'm being treated like an animal, you make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world." Riley said, finally finding the courage to say what she'd been feeling. She looked up at Alexis with wide eyes, her heart pounding in her chest.
Alexis's hands paused their rhythmic motion, and she looked up at Riley, her expression softening. "Riley, you are the most beautiful woman in the world to me. You're strong, resilient, and brave. You're handling this journey with incredible grace and courage." Alexis' voice was filled with sincerity and warmth. "And I want to take care of you, to make you feel cherished and loved. Every part of you is beautiful to me and not one part of you is disgusting or rude." Alexis assured Riley.
There was an enduring look in Alexis's eyes. The look was the same as she had in her eyes when Riley had first arrived at the stables. She wanted to make sure she was the best trainer possible. She had made a promise to herself and she was determined to keep it. "I want to talk to you today but first let's get you feeling better"
Alexis gently placed Riley's foot down and moved up her calves to her knees. She began to massage Riley's thighs, her hands working the knots and tension from her muscles. Riley let out a soft moan, her body melting into the straw beneath her. "I could get used to this" Riley groaned.
Alexis smiled as she slid her hands off of Riley. "Well you should get used to it, work hard, train hard and then you get treated like a princess." Alexis replied with a soft giggle. She stretched herself over Riley's body as she continued to massage her. Riley's eyes were glazed over and her body was relaxed as Alexis's hands worked their magic. Alexis was careful to avoid her sensitive areas for now, this was a massage not a seduction.
Riley’s body was relaxed, but the stable was not quiet for very long. There were sounds of other ponies eating their breakfast and the sound of hooves clipping on the stable floor. As Alexis started to massage around the top of Riley’s legs, Alexis could feel that she was slightly holding herself back. She smiled and gently patted Riley's thigh.
"But still a Pony Girl." Riley sighed. Alexis hopped off of Riley and stood beside her. "A pony princess. Now. Do you feel ok to go out for some breakfast or does Riley want breakfast in bed this morning?" Alexis asked gently as she patted Riley's thigh. Riley's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at Alexis with a soft smile. "I'd like to go outside, please, Miss Miller. I think it would be good for me to see the sun, even if I can't feel it." Riley's voice was soft but steady. She stretched languidly, her body already feeling more relaxed from Alexis's massage. Alexis’s eyes lit up at Riley's request.
"That's my girl. Let's get you dressed and outside." Alexis smiled and stepped back to give Riley some space. She gently patted Riley's thigh to indicate she should stand. Riley slowly got to her feet, her body still slightly sore but much more relaxed than before.
Alexis fetched a pink collar. It was different from the stiff leather posture collar she was used to. "You'll wear this today instead of your pony tact. I still will clip a leash to you but less restrictive for you today." Alexis’s voice was soft and reassuring as she fastened the collar around Riley's neck. The pink collar was a stark contrast to the usual leather, and Riley could feel the soft material against her skin, a gentle reminder of the care Alexis took in everything she did. She appreciated the small gesture as it made her feel even more special. Riley had grown to enjoy her collar, especially the leather smell of it, but today she was happy to have a day off. The collar still had a tightness to it and was a gentle reminder, along wither he nakedness, that she belonged to Alexis.
"Now, let's get you some breakfast, my little pony princess." Alexis smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with a mix of affection and mischief. She clipped a short leash to the collar, the metal clicking softly as it attached. The leash was a gentle reminder of Riley's role, but the pink collar and Alexis's tender touch made it feel more like a symbol of their unique bond rather than a restriction.
Riley stood up, her body still slightly achy but much more relaxed than before. She followed Alexis out of the stable, the warmth of the day washing over her as she stepped into the courtyard. The sun was bright, casting a golden glow over everything. "Do the best you can with your walking Riley, I'd like you to still try as best you can to lift those knees, point those toes, But only if it doesn't hurt and there won't be any behavioural correction today." Alexis reminded her gently. Riley nodded, taking a deep breath as she focused on her gait. She lifted her knees higher, pointing her toes as she had been trained to do. There wasn't much pain, maybe because of the stretching Alexis had given her but she still moved gingerly.
"I'd have been in so much trouble walking this way a week ago." Riley thought to herself. She knew better than to speak outside her stall.
She knew that she was expected to be seen and not heard. She knew that she was a performance, a show for whoever's eyes might be on her. But Alexis had said that she couldn't have any corrections today. And she was going to make sure to do the best she could but she also enjoyed this time with her friend. They had to keep the front up.
The day was beautiful, the sky a crisp blue with only a few wisps of clouds. Riley focused on her steps, lifting her knees high and pointing her toes as she followed Alexis across the courtyard. The leash between them was short, a reminder of her role, but also a comforting connection to Alexis. She took her steps with a slight bounce as she had been trained to do.
"I've had the caretakers prepare your breakfast out in the courtyard." Alexis motioned towards a small table.
Riley smiled as she it laid out with pastries, fruit but also a familiar bowl of gloppy porridge.
Riley gave a little snort, unsure what she should do.
Your still a pony girl so go eat your porridge. Alexis took a seat at the table and reached for a delicious looking pasture and a handful of fruit.
She took a bite of the pastry, and a soft crumb fell from the corner of her mouth. Without thinking, she licked her lips, her tongue tracing the sweet remnants. She noticed Riley watching her, her eyes wide and hungry. Alexis smiled and held out the plate of pastries. "You should eat something, Riley. You'll need your strength for your massage later." Riley hesitated for a moment, looking at the food and then back at Alexis. She felt a pang of guilt, knowing that she was supposed to eat the porridge first. But Alexis's gentle smile and the delicious scent of the pastries were too tempting.
