> Meet the Princess > by PegasusGuard1337 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Meet the Princess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a glorious early summer afternoon in Canterlot. Shining Armor and his fillyfriend, Cadance, had just gotten out of school. Cadance attended her Aunt's School for Gifted Unicorns, and Shining was a student at a prep school for young stallions that were hoping to attend the Royal Guard Academy. Even though they didn't go to the same school, they had some of the same subjects and spent their afternoons together, studying. That is, when Cadance wasn't foalsitting Shining's sister, Twilight Sparkle. The two of them were lounging together in the shade of a giant oak tree in the park. It was a balmy afternoon, a good sign of the summer to come. Between the soft grass beneath them, and the comfortable weight of his fillyfriend against him, studying was the last thing on Shining Armor's mind, even with finals and graduation coming up on them fast. "Do you think it would be okay if we didn't study for one day?" Shining asked. Cadance glanced back at him from the book she was reading, suspended in front of her in the grip of her turquoise magic. She was wearing a cute little smirk. "What would you rather be doing instead?" she asked. The first thing that came to Shining Armor's mind was anything. He was a good student, and he knew studying was important, but it wasn't at the top of Shining Armor's list of things he liked to do. But that wasn't something a suave stallion like him told his fillyfriend. He leaned forward and captured Cadance's lips with his own. "I could think of a few things," he said after a nice, long kiss that left him feeling a little light-headed. "Mmm. I think studying can wait one day," Cadance agreed, her cheeks lightly flushed. She leaned in for another kiss, this one deeper. She slipped in a little tongue, and by the time the kiss broke, both of them were flushed and breathless. "I've been thinking, Shiny," Cadance said after they caught their breath. This brought Shining Armor up short. He didn't like the serious tone of Cadance's voice. His brain started filling in the gaps. She wants to break up with me, he thought, completely disregarding what they had just been doing. Shining Armor sometimes felt like he didn't deserve Cadance. Not only was she amazing and beautiful, but she was also a Princess. She was popular and she could have any stallion she wanted, easily. Since they didn't go to the same school, Shining worried that she would find another stallion; one from a more influential family, or one that was more handsome than him. As though she was reading his thoughts, Cadance giggled. "Nothing like that, silly. I was thinking that we've been seeing each other for a few months now, and I know your parents, but you haven't met Auntie Celestia yet." Shining Armor tried to keep his eyes from bugging out of their sockets. It was true that he and Cadance had been dating for a while, and he always knew she would be the mare he was going to marry, but meeting her Auntie... "You want me to meet your Aunt-- Princess Celestia?" he stammered. "I've told her all about you, and she really wants to meet you," Cadance said. "I was thinking that you could come over for dinner tonight." "Tonight?" Shining repeated. "But don't you need an audience or something to see Princess Celestia?" he asked. Cadance laughed and shook her head. "Auntie Celestia is like a mother to me. She always has time for me." Shining tried to wrack his brain for a plausible excuse for why he couldn't make it tonight, but Cadance was way ahead of him. "I know you don't have any plans," she said sternly. Shining laughed nervously and rubbed at the back of his head with his hoof. "Heh... Was it really that obvious what I was thinking?" he asked. "Yes, and I already asked your mom. She was thrilled," Cadance replied. Checkmate, Shining Armor thought. "Look, Shiny, I know this is a big deal, but you're a big deal to me, and I want to show you off to Auntie. I promise she'll love you. You're everything she could possibly hope for in a coltfriend for her favorite niece," Cadance tried to assure him. "Tell you what. Come over tonight and have dinner and meet Auntie. If you're on your best behavior and impress her, I'll give you a special reward." Cadance's hoof trailed down between Shining's hind legs and squeezed to give him a little hint of the kind of reward she was talking about. "Th-- that's blackmail!" Shining protested, obviously excited by this prospective reward. "It isn't blackmail," she corrected. "It's coercion." She rubbed lightly at the area between his legs. "Do we have a deal?" she asked. "W--we have a deal," a red-faced Shining Armor agreed. --- Shining Armor asked himself how he got roped into this as he and Cadance approached the castle. A throb between his legs reminded him. Traitor, he thought. He was walking just behind Cadance, enjoying the view of her rear as they walked. She kept swishing her tail tantalizingly, as though to remind him of their bargain. Or maybe it was just to torture him. Yeah, it had to be that. "Why do you have to walk like that?" he hissed at her. Cadance looked back at him and winked. "Because I like teasing you," she replied. Shining sighed. "Just checking," he said. Cadance giggled and turned her attention forward, but not before throwing another wink at him over her shoulder. He drew up beside her as they approached the draw bridge leading to the great castle gate. There were guards stationed in the guard house, but of course, none of them challenged Princess Cadance. They bowed deferentially to her, and since Shining Armor was with her, none of them challenged him, either. "I've never actually been inside the castle before," Shining whispered. He didn't know why he was whispering, it just seemed appropriate. "Doesn't your father work here?" Cadance asked. "Well, yeah," he said. His dad was Captain of the Royal Guard, a position Shining hoped to hold himself one day. He absently remembered that his dad would be coming off-duty soon. "But Dad never brought me to work with him." Shining was glad for the conversation. It turned his thoughts away from how nervous he was. Cadance noticed how tense Shining was. She rubbed his back comfortingly and said, "Relax, Shiny. Auntie will love you. You have nothing to worry about." Shining Armor took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "You're right. I don't have anything to worry about," he repeated. "I've got this." Cadance gave him an encouraging smile and the two of them went through the huge gates and into the main courtyard. As they went into the castle proper, Cadance pointed out things of interest. Shining was impressed by the sheer size and splendor of the castle. The marble pillars, the huge floor to ceiling stained glass windows, the rich, plush carpet beneath their hooves. "Auntie will be setting the sun now," Cadance said. "She'll meet us in the dining room when she's done." Shining was so awestruck that he barely even heard everything she had been saying. "Okay," he said as he followed her lead. "So, ah... you live here?" Shining asked. Somehow, it hadn't really occurred to him. Cadance giggled. "That's one of the perks of being a Princess," she reminded him with a wink. Shining Armor couldn't imagine what it was like to live in the castle. His father was captain of the Royal Guard, but he had never actually lived in the castle itself, he just worked there. "Must be nice," he said. Cadance shrugged. "It's not really all that different than living anywhere else, when you get down to it." Shining raised his eyebrows incredulously. "Really?" he said skeptically. Cadance laughed. "Okay, maybe not, but it isn't as fantastic as you think." As they were talking, Cadance and Shining Armor were walking, and they finally arrived at the dining room, which was largely occupied by a long, low table at which there were plush cushions for sitting on. Night had fully fallen by then, the moon visible from the huge windows. The room was lit by candelabra on the table and sconces along the walls between the floor to ceiling windows. "This isn't fantastic?" Shining Armor asked as he and Cadance walked into the room and made their way down the length of the table. To his surprise, there was no cushion at the head of the table. "Oh, it is at first," Cadance conceded, "but really, after a while, you get used to it and it's just another dining room." While Shining Armor could see the logic in that, he still had a hard time believing anypony wouldn't find this fantastic. He had never seen such a huge, splendid dining room in all his life. The candelabra alone were probably worth more than all of Shining Armor's possessions put together! The two of them sat down side by side, and Cadance scooted her cushion closer to Shining's so her thigh was pressed up against his. Shining blushed faintly at the contact, but made no remark. They had just gotten settled when Princess Celestia arrived. Shining shot to his hooves and nearly banged his head on the table trying to bow. Celestia laughed. "Please, don't trouble yourself. You must be Shining Armor." Shining felt his face burn as he resumed his seat. "Y-yes Your Highness." Cadance giggled and Celestia rolled her eyes, but Shining Armor didn't even notice. He was too busy trying not to hyperventilate. "There's no need to be so formal, Shining Armor. You're practically a member of the family. Please, call me Auntie," Celestia said. "Between Cadance and your father, I've heard so much about you. It's wonderful to meet you at last." "Auntie?" Shining repeated. Celestia was shaping out to be nothing like the way he had imagined. Cadance had told him about her, of course, but she was the ruler of Equestria! He always thought she was larger than life itself and here she was, telling him to call her Auntie! Celestia settled herself across from Shining Armor and Cadance, allowing Shining Armor to get a good look at her. She was so... big. Not fat, of course. Celestia was one of the standards upon which beauty was measured in Equestria, especially in Canterlot. In fact, she had very long, elegant limbs and was slender, but curvaceous in all the right places. Very much like her niece, actually. Remembering his manners, and recovering from shock somewhat, Shining Armor said, "It's nice to meet you too... Auntie." Celestia beamed. "And such a quick study too! It took forever for your father to finally stop calling me Princess!" she praised. Shining Armor felt his cheeks warm again, but he was saved from having to answer by the arrival of dinner. He felt Cadance brush his thigh with her hoof and he looked at her. "You're doing great, Shiny. She loves you already," Cadance praised softly enough that he was sure Celestia didn't hear, especially as the unicorn servants that were marching in were laying out a veritable feast on the table. Even though there were only three of them, there seemed to be enough food for half a dozen, and it all looked delicious. Platters of roasted vegetables, huge bowls of salad, fluffy rolls, hay juice, and a glass of wine for the princess. It was enough to make Shining Armor's mouth water. "Please, help yourself," Celestia invited. The three of them spent some time loading up their plates. The only talking was requests for somepony to please pass the rolls or the salad. When they had finally finished serving themselves, Shining's eyes bugged out at the amount of food the Princess had on her plate. It was enough to rival even his own. Celestia wasn't offended when she saw the look on Shining's face. She simply smiled. "I'm not going to pretend I'm not a glutton for your sake, Shining Armor," she joked. "A princess needs to keep her strength up." Shining chuckled at that. He started digging in when he was sure he felt Cadance brush his thigh again, but it wasn't the brief touch meant to get his attention. It was a prolonged touch, just grazing his fur, enough to send shivers racing through him. Shining glanced over at Cadance beside him, but she wasn't even paying him any mind. Celestia had just asked her how her day at school had been, and she was telling her how nervous she was about finals. "Oh, you have nothing to worry about," Celestia assured her. "You're very talented, one of my best students." "Yeah, and the teachers are afraid they'll make you angry if they fail me," Cadance joked. Celestia laughed. "Oh, I've given them my assurance that no pony will be banished or turned to stone, so long as you actually deserve a failing grade." Shining watched the two mares banter and chuckled at Celestia's joke, since the gossip rags were always saying how Celestia was going to banish somepony or other for even the most minor infractions. Shining stifled a grunt when he felt something brush his rump, just above his cutie mark, sending a shiver up his spine and straight to his groin. He grabbed his glass of hay juice and took a huge swig to mask the noise. If Celestia noticed, she made no indication. "What about you, Shining Armor? I've heard from both Cadance and your father that you intend to join the Royal Guard Academy." Shining put down his glass and cleared his throat. "Ah, yeah. That's the plan. I'm planning on following in my old man's hoofsteps and becoming Captain of the Guard." "And marrying my niece? My, you are a very ambitious young stallion," Celestia said, a mischievous grin pulling at her muzzle. Shining choked again. "M-marrying? No pony's said anything about marrying," he stammered. "You don't want to marry me, Shiny?" Cadance asked, pouting and brushing his inner thigh. Red blossomed on Shining Armor's face and he felt as though he'd stumbled straight into a trap. Not to mention he was in very real danger of popping a boner at the dinner table, what with the way Cadance was brushing his thigh. "I don't-buh," he stammered. "I--of course I want to marry you," he finally managed. Cadance and Celestia shared a look, both giggling. Shining Armor felt helpless, like they were teasing him, and Cadance was in a very different way. Seeing as they were sitting so close together, it was easy for her to tease him under the table, hopefully without Celestia noticing. The frustrating thing was that he couldn't exactly ask her to stop. Shining Armor tried to school his expression. He willed himself to stop blushing and bit his lip when Cadance's hoof trailed over his groin. "I knew since the day I first laid eyes on her that Cadance was going to be the mare I'm going to marry," he said, trying to keep his breathing even. "Not without my blessing, she's not," Celestia said very sternly. Shining's heart nearly stopped. Of course, he knew he had to make a good impression on the Princess. Like Cadance said, she had been like a mother to her, but Shining hadn't even considered the fact that Celestia could tell him that he couldn't date her niece. "Oh, Auntie. I think you're overdoing it. He's going to have a heart attack," Cadance giggled. Or a stroke, Shining thought. With the way Cadance was touching him, blood was being swiftly diverted from his brain to more southerly regions in his body. She wasn't letting up now, either. Now it wasn't a matter of if he was popping a boner under the table, it was a matter of keeping it hidden. Celestia laughed. "I kid... Mostly. You seem to be a very hardworking young stallion. Joining the Royal Guard isn't easy, let alone becoming Captain, but I can see much of your father in you. If you work anywhere near as hard as he did, I have every confidence that you will make it." Shining swallowed hard against the whimper that was making its way up his throat. "Thank you-- Auntie," he said. "I am working hard. To tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous about finals too, but I'm sure I'll make the grade." Trying to form a coherent sentence was becoming difficult, let alone keeping his voice even as Cadance teased and stroked him. Now she was just barely brushing his stallionhood. He could feel her magic fondling his balls, making it very difficult to think clearly. All he could think about was the ache building deep in his groin. Shining wanted very much to cross his legs, but he didn't want to seem nervous. Suddenly, an old unicorn stallion appeared at Celestia's shoulder. He was tan in color with a bushy white mustache and a pair of spectacles resting on his muzzle. He whispered something in Celestia's ear. The princess flicked her ear in irritation and looked down at the old stallion. "Does it have to be now, Kibitz? I am trying to have a quiet dinner with my niece and her coltfriend." "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I have been informed that it is urgent," Kibitz replied. Celestia heaved a sigh as she got to her hooves. "My apologies, Shining Armor, but it seems there are 'urgent' matters of state that require my immediate attention. If you'll excuse me, I'll be back in a moment." "Buh-- o-of course," Shining Armor replied, grateful for the distraction. He watched Celestia leave with Kibitz, and when he was sure they were out of ear-shot, he rounded on his marefriend, only to find that she had disappeared too. Until he felt something hot and wet close over his hardened, throbbing stallionhood. "Unggh," he groaned. "Cadance, what in Tartarus are you doing?" he hissed in the general direction of his lap. He felt her sliiide down his cock, engulfing it nearly to the medial ring in her hot mouth. She paused a second before licking around it and dragging her tongue back to the tip, making Shining Armor almost forget how to sit up straight. "Mm... You've made such a good impression on Auntie that I decided to give you your reward a little early," Cadance replied, her voice floating up from under the table. She swirled her tongue around his tip. "Do you like it?" "Guhh," Shining replied. "I-it's hard to be on my 'best behavior' with you touching me down there," he said. Cadance made no reply but to slide him into her mouth again. A whimper escaped Shining's throat. He felt Cadance's hooves join in the action as she concentrated more on his tip. Her silken hooves rubbed at his shaft while she sucked at his tip, which was already wet in response to her ministrations. Shining did his best to keep quiet and listen for hoofsteps coming their way. The last thing he wanted was for Celestia to catch Cadance sucking him off under the table. It never even occurred to him to stop her. Probably because it felt so good that even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He felt his dick throbbing more and more the more Cadance worked it. Now she was swirling her tongue around the tip, dragging up the wetness as her hooves caressed the base near his balls. If she wasn't careful, he was liable to blow his load right in her face. "H-Horseapples," Shining swore. "I think I hear her coming back. Cadance was out from under the table faster than Shining would have thought possible. His member throbbed in protest. He had been so close! Cadance licked her lips and dabbed at her face with a napkin as Celestia rounded the corner and came back into the dining room, rejoining them at the table. "I apologize. It seems some ponies don't know the definition of 'emergency,'" Celestia said, the smallest hint of annoyance in her otherwise placid voice as she settled on her cushion again. Shining Armor tried to rally his cognitive functions. "It's okay," was all he could come up with. Celestia smiled. "Now, where were we? Ah, yes. You were feeling nervous about finals?" Shining Armor grimaced. At this point, the only thing he was nervous about was finishing this dinner without Celestia noticing what was underneath the table. "A little, but like I said, I'm sure I've got it. I've been studying the material all semester, and I'm pretty strong test-taker." Celestia smiled. "So in other words, you're good at memorization," she said. Shining could tell she wasn't criticizing him. It was just a fact that tests really only showed how well one could regurgitate information; Something she had been trying very hard to correct in Equestria's school system. "Well, yeah. Actually, I'd hate to admit it, but my little sister is a genius. She comes up with all these clever mnemonic devices." "How cute," Cadance cooed. "Twilight Sparkle helps you study." Shining Armor blushed again. "Twilight Sparkle? Oh, she's the little filly that you foal-sit, isn't she, Cadance?" Cadance nodded. "She's a little prodigy. It's no wonder Shiny has her helping him study. She'll probably end up going to your school, Auntie." "Oh? Is she magically gifted?" Celestia asked, suddenly intrigued. Shining Armor took the opportunity to tune out, since his direct participation was no longer required. He was relieved that Cadance was distracted for the time being, but the throbbing appendage between his hind legs was screaming for attention. He couldn't exactly touch himself since he was sitting directly across from Celestia, and now that he wanted her to touch him, Cadance seemed to be ignoring him. When he tuned back in, Celestia was saying something about how his whole family seemed like they would be involved with her in some way or another. Shining chuckled. "Yeah, it does seem that way, doesn't it?" Celestia asked him his plans after graduation, and Shining did his best to nonchalantly eat his dinner as he replied. "Oh, I'm planning on going to Prance with a few of my friends, then straight to the Royal Guard Academy." They talked for what seemed like hours. Every minute that dragged on was like torture to Shining Armor, and he didn't know if he was imagining things, but Cadance seemed awfully smug sitting beside him. Finally, their dinner finished, Celestia said, "As much as I've been enjoying our little chat, I think it's time for me to retire for the evening. Shining Armor, it has been an absolute pleasure talking to you, and I look forward to having more of these little chats." Shining blushed. "Thank you, Auntie." Celestia got up. "You're welcome. Cadance, you may say goodnight to Shining Armor, but don't forget it's a school night." "Yes, Auntie," Cadance replied all too innocently. Celestia graced them with a final smile. "Goodnight, both of you." "Goodnight, Auntie," Shining and Cadance chimed in unison. Both of them watched Celestia leave the dining room. "Cadance, I can't get up like this," Shining hissed. Despite how long dinner seemed to last, he was still rock hard, and still desperate for some kind of release. Cadance grinned. "Yes, let's take care of that, shall we?" she asked, trailing a hoof along his length. Shining trembled and whimpered in response. Cadance disappeared beneath the table again, and again, Shining felt her mouth on his cock. She sucked strongly at the tip, coaxing a grunt from Shining, who did his best not to ram himself down her throat as his hips twitched needily. Cadance's hooves embraced his dick and rubbed firmly along his length until Shining was panting and snorting, trying his best not to make any noise. Cadance took more of his length in her mouth, her magic encasing the heavy sack of his balls. Shining grunted. The tingle of her magic along with the hot wetness of Cadance's mouth was all he needed. "Cadance, I'm gonna--" Cadance didn't make a move to disengage her lips from his cock. If anything, she took him even deeper. Shining felt his balls throb and suddenly, he was coming down Cadance's throat, and to her credit, she didn't even gag. A low, satisfied groan escaped Shining. He couldn't hold it in. Cadance emerged from beneath the table when Shining had finished coming, licking her lips. Shining grabbed her and kissed her before she could wipe her mouth, tasting his own salty cum on her lips. "H-how?" he asked when they parted. Cadance grinned in response. "It's my little secret," she said with a wink. Shining could only gawk at her. "Wanna walk me to my room?" Cadance asked. Shining didn't trust the grin on her face, but despise his misgivings, he said, "Sure." Cadance winked and led him out of the dining room. By now, the castle was dark and mostly deserted for the evening. It seemed the castle went to sleep along with the princess. The only sign of activity was the guards patrolling the hallways. Shining hoped they wouldn't be a problem later. Cadance led Shining up the grand staircase in the main foyer and down a long hallway. Finally, they stopped outside a door that looked like all the others down the hall. Cadance opened it with her magic and they went inside. Shining was surprised to find a bedroom not unlike the bedroom of any other teenage girl on the other side. The walls were pink, and even trimmed with gold molding, they were still covered with posters of rock stars. "Huh," was all Shining could manage. Cadance giggled. "I told you living here isn't much different than living anywhere else." She plopped down on her bed, which was covered with a fluffy down comforter and motioned Shining to join her. Shining Armor sat on the edge of the bed, remembering Celestia's admonition to Cadance about it being a school night. He had a feeling he wouldn't be leaving anytime soon as Cadance looped her hooves around his chest and pulled him down to her. "Do you want your reward, Shiny?" she whispered in his ear, sending a shiver through his entire body. "I--I thought you already gave me my reward," Shining said. "I have another reward in mind," Cadance said. She paused and licked the outer edge of his ear. "I want you, Shiny." Another shiver passed through Shining Armor. One that reignited the interest of a certain organ between his hind legs. "Oh," was the only response he could manage. Cadance giggled and drew him to her, kissing him long and deep. Shining didn't resist and reciprocated eagerly. There was a rational part of his mind that said he shouldn't do this, while the primal part of his mind screamed 'why the buck not?' He was a hormonal teenager, and she was more than obviously willing. He didn't see any chance of them getting caught, and despite what he had said to Celestia about it being too early to talk about marriage, he had not a single doubt in his mind that Cadance was the mare he was going to marry. He loved her. When he was with her, he felt like they were two pieces of the same soul. Cadance's tongue danced with his as she rubbed and caressed his back and barrel. Shining needed very little persuasion. Just knowing Cadance wanted him was enough to make him stiff again. "Oh, Shiny," Cadance giggled, her hoof finding his stiff member and caressing it. "Such an eager little stallion," she cooed. Shining blushed. "I can't help it," he said. Cadance grinned. "Good," she said. She turned and assumed mounting position and Shining Armor went slack-jawed when she flagged her tail up over her back. She was positively dripping. It seemed that she had worked herself up just as much as she'd worked him up. Without even waiting for a single word from his marefriend, Shining Armor leaned in and dragged his tongue along her inner thigh. Cadance shivered and moaned at the contact, this not quite being what she expected. Not that she was complaining. Shining drew back for a moment, licking his lips and tasting his marefriend's heavenly, sweet juices. Part of him just wanted to stick his dick in her and go to town, but the bigger part of him wanted to torture her just as much as she had tortured him. Shining leaned in again for another slow, torturous lick up the other side, drawing his marefriend's sweet juices into his mouth. "Shiny," Cadance whimpered insistently, trembling at the contact. "Mmmh, fair's fair," he said, drawing back to swallow and lick his lips again. Cadance was so gloriously delicious that he wanted to taste her more, despite the fact that he was so stiff, it actually hurt. He placed his hooves on either side of Cadance's rump, and pulled gently, parting her moist, pink lips for a more direct attack. He stuck his whole muzzle in her pussy, dragging his tongue slowly through her folds from clit to tail hole. Cadance grabbed a pillow and moaned into it, her hind legs trembling as Shining did the whole thing in reverse. Then, Shining Armor attacked her swollen clit directly, swirling his tongue over the slick little nub. Cadance shrieked. She was so turned on, she almost came immediately. Her legs trembled as Shining kept lapping at it, drawing his broad, flat tongue over it, swirling over it until Cadance was all but shoving her rump in his face and grinding against it eagerly. Her moans escalated. Shining knew she was close. At this point all he had to do was keep his tongue on Cadance's clit as she ground against his face. Her movements were fast and jerky, until suddenly, she was releasing a torrent of sweet mare cum in his face. He could feel the spasms of her orgasm against his chin. "Aaahhnng, Shiny!" Cadance moaned, her legs collapsing so she flopped on the bed. Shining managed to extract himself from her backside, his face coated in her sweet, musky juices. Cadance held her forelegs open for him and he fell into them as she affectionately licked his face clean. "Mmm," she sighed as Shining held her against him. He kissed her softly, trying to ignore his aching loins. "That sounded like it was good," he commented. "Mmmh. It was," Cadance agreed. "But I'm not done yet, and neither are you," she said with a cute little grin. She rolled onto her back and spread her hind legs for him. She was still glistening from the juices of her very wet orgasm. They were smeared on her inner thighs and dribbling from her slit, over her puckered pink tail hole to the bedspread beneath her, making Shining Armor's mouth water, even though he'd already had a taste. Shining groaned at the sight. That was all the invitation he needed. He positioned himself above her, lining himself up with her, running the tip of his cock through her sopping folds. He wanted inside her so bad that his hips were trembling. With a single thrust, he was there, spreading her plump lips and enveloped in the slick, hot tightness of his marefriend's pussy. They groaned simultaneously. "Cadance, you feel so good," Shining grunted. She felt so good, in fact, that he couldn't move, for fear that he would come again instantly. She was so wonderfully hot, wet, and tight around him, sending wonderful shivers up his shaft at the feeling of her embracing him so snugly. Cadance's eyes were closed in ecstasy. She had such a look of pure delight on her face, that Shining couldn't believe it was because of him. "You too, Shiny," she said. Shining Armor felt a sudden surge of affection for the mare beneath him. He didn't need any more confirmation than this that she was his mare. He felt like they were connected to the very soul, like they were a single entity, and he was amazed at how spiritual such a carnal joining could be. He braced his hooves on either side of her head and bent down to kiss her. Both of them hummed at the very simple pleasure and very slowly, he began thrusting. Cadance moaned along with his movements as he drew almost completely out of her and sank all the way back in. She was so wet that the motion was completely frictionless. The feeling of her hot wetness embracing him was amazing. Every time he thrust into her, he could feel her tightening around him as though she would never let him leave her. Cadance rocked into him in time with his thrusts, their hips meeting every time he fell into her. With each thrust, she took him deeper until he was hilted deep inside her. Cadance's eyes were closed as she focused on the sensations Shining was causing every time he moved, and he looked down their bodies and watched as he slid out of her, coated in their shared lubrication and plunged back into her, which turned him on as much as the act itself. As much as he wished he could keep up that slow pace, Shining couldn’t. His hips were twitching again, the pressure building deep inside his pelvis, aching for release. His thrusts were becoming jerkier, more insistent. Their hips began to slap together as Shining Armor thrust faster. Cadence moaned every time he hilted himself inside her. "Oohh, Shiny... yes. Please, faster," she begged. Shining Armor bit his lip, bracing on the mattress with his hooves so he could piston his hips faster. His member was throbbing, his tip flared, causing delicious friction. He was so close, and by her escalating moans and the way her pussy was absolutely throttling his cock, Shining could tell Cadance was too. His hips bucked as he finally tilted over the edge with a long, satisfied groan. “Shiny,” Cadance gasped. He felt her clench down on him, a rolling moan escaping from her throat as she joined him in climax, the feeling of his hot seed spilling deep inside her enough to finally push her over the edge and join him in a deeply satisfying climax. Shining Armor collapsed, his muscles feeling weak and no longer able to support his weight. He rolled so Cadance was nestled against him and she nuzzled her face in the fur of his chest. “Mmmm. That was amazing,” she breathed. Shining couldn’t even muster a response. He was breathing like he’d just run a marathon. He just held Cadance closer. --- Shining Armor wasn’t sure how long he laid there in bed with Cadance. He felt so exhausted, he wished he could just go to sleep, but he had to go home sometime, even though his parents were pretty relaxed about things like curfews. Since he was a responsible stallion, they trusted him to be out as late as he wanted, as long as he wasn’t too tired for school the next day. Cadance had fallen asleep on him, despite how sweaty they were from their exertions. Shining Armor had managed to extract himself from her without waking her, and was grateful she had her own bathroom so he could at least clean up a bit before he left. He was just about to leave when he looked back at Cadance. She looked so peaceful, he didn’t want to wake her, even to say goodbye, so he found a piece of paper on her desk and scrawled a quick note, laying it next to her so she would see it in the morning. He leaned over and brushed his lips against her forehead. “Love you,” he said. Cadance smiled in her sleep, leaving Shining feeling all warm and fuzzy. Quietly, he left her bedroom. Shining remembered the way out well enough, and the guards didn’t even challenge him as he passed, even though he was sure it was getting pretty late. He almost thought he was in the clear when a voice said, “Shining Armor?” Shining whirled around to see Princess Celestia emerging from a shadowy alcove. How he’d managed to not see her there, since she was pure white, was beyond him. “P-Princess,” he stammered. “I know what you two were doing earlier,” she told him. “Y--you do?” Shining replied. Celestia rolled her eyes. “I’ve been around the stable a few times, Shining Armor. I won’t say I disapprove. Fillies will be fillies and colts will be colts, and the two of you are old enough to make those decisions on your own.” “Um… thanks?” Shining said, wondering where she was going with this. As though sensing this, Celestia said, “I’ll get to the point, Shining Armor. I like you. I don’t think Cadance could have chosen a better young stallion as her coltfriend, and when such a time comes that you rise through the ranks of the Royal Guard and you become my Captain, I will look forward to having you in my service. However--” Shining Armor was just congratulating himself. It seemed like he really had made a good impression on Princess Celestia, even if she did know what he and Cadance had been up to, but that one little word made him stop short. “However?” he asked. “However, Cadance is very special to me, and if you break her heart, I will break your spine. Do I make myself clear?” Shining Armor gulped audibly. Did she actually mean that? Shining Armor didn't think so, but Celestia was wearing an expression that he imagined was not very unlike the one she had worn when she turned Discord into a statue. “Yes. Perfectly,” he agreed. Celestia smiled, the dark look in her eyes gone so quickly that Shining wondered if he had imagined it. “Wonderful! Now, it’s getting late. You should get home before your parents start to worry about you.” “Yes, Princess,” Shining Armor said hastily. “Auntie,” Celestia corrected with a grin. “Auntie,” Shining repeated, a foalish grin of his own spreading across his muzzle. With that, he left the castle. Princess Celestia smiled as she watched him go. Truly, she did like Shining Armor, but she had to bring the fear of Princess Celestia into him, just so she could be sure he wasn’t messing around.
