Hi all, sorry for making you wait a bit longer than promised. I think it will have been well worth it.

Futanari Centaur Frustration
Night 5: A Temporary Solution and its Consequences
Saturday morning, a grumpy Riona sits alone at one of the few chairs around Cera's dining room table, angrily shoveling spoonfuls of cereal into her mouth.
Having just figured out how to check the maximum diameter she'd achieved with her new toy the day before, she sighs again in disappointment at her failure to stretch even halfway to Cera's width. 'The doctor did say it would take a while. Damnit, I hate that smug bastard sometimes! Why is he always right?'
Cera soon saunters her way into the living area, carrying a container of fresh milk and yawning sleepily. She's almost properly dressed for once, wearing a long-sleeve white button-up that properly accommodates her chest. "G'morning Riona."
Riona swallows her mouthful of cereal before responding. "Morning Cera."
The sleepy centaur walks over to the fridge, depositing her milk inside and rummaging around for her breakfast. Meanwhile, Riona's spoon stops midair as she stares in disbelief at the beautiful pink equine cock hanging down to Cera's knees, its wide, flared head wiggling around with the slightest movement of its owner.
Riona's mouth begins to water at the sight, but she quickly snaps herself out of it, crossing her legs tightly to fight her quickly warming crotch. 'She must be too tired to even notice it. I've gotta approach this situation carefully.'
Riona puts her spoon down and stands up, walking over to Cera at the fridge. She grabs Cera's idle left hand, careful to maintain eye contact and keep a neutral tone of voice as the centaur turns to her in confusion. "Come with me for a moment."
Cera hesitates, looking back at the fridge in confusion before letting herself get pulled along by her much smaller roommate. "R-Riona, what's going on?"
Riona guides Cera to the living room, positioning her over a cushion before turning back and replying. "Okay, I just needed to confirm something. Please don't freak out or anything when I ask you this, alright? I already told you once that it doesn't bother me, but I'm a bit concerned for you. Promise?"
Cera looks down at her with uncertainty. "Uhh... okay. I don't know if I can agree to whatever this is, but I promise not to freak out."
Riona takes a deep breath. "So, um, did you realize that you walked out of your room with an erection this morning?"
The centaur's eyes widen in surprise. "H-huh?! Definitely not, I would never!"
"Well... you did." Riona makes a show of peeking under Cera's belly again, confirming something. "In fact, you're still hard right now."
"Hey, don't look!" Panicked, Cera quickly lies down on her stomach. As her sense of touch instantly confirms Riona's claim, she hides her face in shame. "Uugh, no way! I must've been hard since before I even woke up..."
Riona pats Cera's head as she crouches down, trying her best to comfort the ashamed centaur. "It's okay, really! It doesn't bother me at all, and nobody else was here to see it."
Cera shakes her head under Riona's hand, uncovering her teary-eyed face. "No, you don't understand! If this happened back in my clan, my social life would be over, my pride as a centaur ruined!"
Riona continues to stroke Cera's head, feeling guilty about her partial responsibility for the predicament. "But this never happened back then, right? You shouldn't blame yourself for struggling in such a new and strange environment."
Cera finally puts a hand up to stop Riona's petting as she starts to calm down. "Even so, if I failed so badly around you, it could happen around other humans as well. They'd never look at me the same again."
Riona smiles in amusement. "Well, that would be awkward, but I think they'd be more understanding than you might expect." She thinks back to the scene she overheard at night for a moment before continuing. "Something else must have changed. You're not able to deal with it the same way as you did before, are you?"
Cera pauses, a look of conflict on her face, before finally sighing and giving in. "You're right. Centaurs with a high libido like mine usually control their urges with a special piece of furniture." She turns her head to the side, blushing. "It's called a breeding mount, and... umm, well, it's like..."
Well aware of the Earth equivalent, Riona interjects over Cera's stumbling attempt to explain, excited. "Oh, I think I know what you mean. In fact, it wouldn't be very hard to get you one at all!"
The centaur looks back at her in confusion. "You already have one here on Earth? Did something like that really come through the cracks?"
Riona realizes her mistake. "Ah, no! I meant that it probably wouldn't be that hard to build. You've seen some of the crazy stuff that our engineers come up with."
Her attention successfully diverted, Cera looks mortified at the thought. "No way, we definitely can't get them involved! What's the point if everyone in the ONA knows about it?!"
Riona thinks for a moment. "Hmm, we could probably get it done with just Dr. Harden. It's fine if he knows, right? He probably already noticed the problem through your daily scans anyway."
Flustered at the thought, Cera starts to turn red. "Wha- how exactly would he notice something like that?!"
The proud Earthling smiles. "Hey, don't underestimate science! Those scans are incredibly detailed. If it makes you feel any better, me and him are the only ones with access."
Cera shakes her head again, irritated. "I can't believe that. There's no way he knows!"
Almost on queue, Riona's phone starts to ring. She takes it out to check the caller ID as Cera looks on, puzzled.
'Dr. A. Harden, secure ONA network.' Riona shows the screen to Cera before shushing her with a finger and answering the call on speakerphone.
The doctor yawns loudly as the call connects. "Ah, good morning Riona." Riona replies while still holding up a finger to silence Cera. "Good morning doctor, what's up?"
"Well, I was just taking a look at the biometrics from Cera's smartbed. Seems like she's even more pent-up than usual, I'm seeing increased blood flow for about six and a half hours last night." As Cera's jaw drops in shock, the doctor continues. "Anyway, I'm not entirely sure if it's a big deal for a centaur to stay erect for so long, but since it's not consistent with past sleeping patterns I'm a bit concerned."
Cera suddenly reaches for the phone at the word 'erect', but Riona pulls it away just in time and backs out of reach, smirking. The centaur pouts but stays quiet as Dr. Harden continues further. "Please check in with her and confirm that the erection has gone down. If it hasn't and you're not able to deal with it yourself, I have one other thing you can try before coming to see me."
At a quizzical glance from Riona, Cera shakes her head, blushing slightly. Riona talks into the phone, trying to choose her words carefully. "I can already confirm the problem still persists. I don't think I can help her myself, what's the other option?"
Dr. Harden replies somewhat excitedly. "There's actually one extra finished room in CE-1 that I've kept locked up until now. It's the security door at the end of the eastern hallway, past Cera's room. Code is eight zero four seven." The two roommates look at each other in surprise, having been told the locked rooms were all empty and unused. "Just show it to Cera, I'm sure she'll know what to do. Call me back if it doesn't work."
The doctor hangs up, and Cera's face turns to horror as she faces Riona. "D-do you think he was listening in on us somehow? That timing was terrifying..."
Riona, entirely unsure and asking the same question to herself, can hardly put the centaur at ease. "W-well, there's no way he'd give himself away like that if he was, right?"
Cera nods hesitantly, unconvinced. "Right... should we, umm, check out the room? My erection already got scared away, but now I'm curious."
