Rarity squealed with a mix delight and pain as Diamond lowered his stance and tightened his bearhug. She already loved the look of this colt, and now she was learning to love the feel of him. The oil coating his fur heightened its natural silkiness, and the neck convulsing between her bicep and body felt unbreakable, even as she strangled it with all her might. He was both hard and smooth—a living gemstone that walked like a stallion and fought with tenacity.
