An Unwilling Husband And An Empty Box
“Winter wrap up, winter wrap up!” The two toned pink alicorn shut her eyes tightly trying to get that infernally addicting song out of her head. Indeed, it was still winter, but the crystal ponies were anxious to catch up with current events along with other activities the rest of Equestria had already been doing for years. As the co-ruler, it was up to Cadence to make sure they were all caught up with the norm of things.
“Why must all the ponies join together and sing when a tune is catchy?” she muttered. All this stress because her subjects had become so eager for learning new customs placed her in a dreary mood. They were almost bad enough to compete with Twilight when she was just ten years of age.
For the princess, it seemed as though she had hundreds, maybe more adult Twilights to educate with the general customs of the monthly events. “This is just too much...”
Shining Armor was no help, either. He was teaching them the new methods of work and games, leaving her with all the traditions and education. The invention of the newspaper made them all wow and squee. This scared Cadence out of even show them the new Apple five products. What she really needed after commensing such challenging activities was a nice, long break. Maybe she should try some sort of recreational game to help them learn, or even hire more teachers, ones that actually understood better ways of inducing knowledge to a horde of medieval-minded citizens.
“Look honey! We got an invite from our Aunties...” Armor walked in.
“An invite?” Princess Cadence asked as she stood from the throne. She’d justly sat down to take a breather when he entered from the main hall. An envelope was held with his light rose magic.
“Celestia says they’re inviting several delegates to Canterlot for the Hearth Warming Eve celebration, and considering Luna and you have obtained royalty status as of recently, it says you’re kinda needed. Too bad we can’t go...” Armor said.
Cadence blinked. “Why not?”
“Well, how would the crystal ponies feel knowing we based a holiday on the founding of Equestria, without them included? I don’t even think they know about this holiday despite it fast approaching, so we have to teach them about that, too!”
Cadence shuffled her hooves, looked back and forth, then smirked. As she peered right passed his head, she asked, “Oh, may I help you?”
Shining took the bait, looked to the entryway and saw nopony there. “Huh?”
“Yoink!” The parchment was snatched clean from his grasp by Cadence’s.
As he quickly realized what she’d just pulled, the stallion hastily shouted, “Cadence! Come back here!” His wife just ran off with the invite, almost as though she were playing some sort of foalish game with him.
“Can’t hear you! Going to the party, leaving you behind to teach!” Inside her mind, she was thoroughly fed up with teaching these ponies the same thing over and over again, day after day. To her, it was Shining’s turn to torture himself with that.
She ran off to her room to pack before he could stop her. as a precaution, Cadence locked the door behind herself, but that didn’t put a halt on Shining. He merely teleported right into the room and caught her offguard easily. Giggling with a huff, Shining trotted forward, snatched the note and tossed it aside.
“Welp...” he began. “Considering you’ve trapped us in here, what ever will you do to keep me from ravaging you?”
The mare quirily smiled, looking left and right. “I’m not sure, but... It’s not really the time for that now, don’t you think?”
She soon felt herself being lifted up and gently placed on the bed. As for Shining, he climbed on, chuckled a bit as he passed her torso, looked deep into her eyes and offered, “Tell you what. I’ll do whatever it takes to get you in the mood. How’s that sound?”
If only he remembered the last couple of nights before, where this exact same incident occurred. Numerous times, Cadence had tried desperately to request a special, sexual favor, but on all accounts, he refused. He’d claim he wasn’t into it, and so on, even though he promised to do anything for her.
Cadence looked down, nervously mumbling, and said, “You know how... I’ve always asked you to...”
Immediately, Shiningcaught on. His blushing face returned to white and planted his head down on his wife’s tufts of fur only to asked, ‘Why do you persist on such... vulgar acts?”
“Because, Shining!” Cadence kindly pushed him off and explained, “It’s not that bad, really. Why don’t you try it with me? You’ve yet to show even the smallest amount of leniency for excersizing out activities in the bed, something you should be open to!” She turned to him once again and beamed her depressed frown his way. “Does anal really turn you off that much?”
Shining said nothing. Instead, he kept his eyes hidden by his mane, and turned around. As he left the room, all he could do was apologize. “I’ll stay here and attend to the chrystal ponies while you go to the party with Princess Celestia and Luna. That should give you some time off...”
Cadence huffed, feeling insulted by the shrude behavior. It wasn’t like she wanted him to do anything too extreme, and she always did what he liked. One would think Armor would be more open to expanding his horizons, but just like always, he only made himself that much more secluded, only wanting to keep towards the same, old and worn out styes of sex.
The door slammed behind him, Cadence fuming with anger. “Fine,” she voiced, making sure he could hear her. “I’ve got toys for that!”
Making her way to the closet where she kept her personally furtive items, smoke pouring from her ears, Cadence shook her head, thoroughly upset and mystified by Shining’s lack of receptivity. The doors were quickly slid open by her magic, the clothes were shuffled aside, and in only a moment, a huge, black box with intricate, gold designs aligning the edges was brought forth, glowing with her highness’s radiance.
“Now,” she said to nopony in particular, mostly herself. “Which one should I use...?” The case opened while she looked away. “There’s the long, skinny one made by the Argons, or the bulging one with the moving tip... Oh, so many to choose... from...”
As her eyes looked down to inspect the gadgetry, the box dropped, its thump echoing throughout the room. Empty was the contents, thoroughly without any bootie-beads, butt plugs or miniature vibrators. Something it should never be is without at least one device contained within.
This wouldn’t be much of a problem for any normal mare. But, Cadence wasn’t like the common citizen, and neither was her kinky nicknacks. Those were made special, not bought from the local shops down the street.
From all over the world, expert crafters and magic users made each with their own enchantment. a couple were able to extend the time of omgasms to five minutes, sometimes longer. Others had the ability to induce the feeling of euphoria one senses after climaxing before the princess hits her peak.
The list goes on and on, but the point remained the same. They weren’t ordinary items. Each could cost a small fortune, maybe more. Every alicorn had a set, so to Cadence, she could probably ask Celestia’s if she could simply borrow a few until her’s was replaced. That wouldn’t solve much of the problem, though.
As she stood staring at the box, it being drained of all its contents, one question rose. “Who stole my sex toys?”
