It was a beautiful and sunny day in the town of Ponyville, almost flawless if it wasn't for the occasional cloud or two that rolled by. The birds tweeted and sang songs as the ponies of the town walked the lively streets. Foals played in the parks while their parents often watched. The sweet smell of cupcakes wafted in the air as the ponies lined up outside of the door to receive a daily special that was unheard of; a single bit for a half-dozen cupcakes. The line reached far back into the outer parts of the town, including past the Golden Oaks Library, where two unicorns continued to debate inside.

"Rarity, I think that this is a bad idea. It's one thing to accept a commission you just received in the mail this morning, but to head out to Canterlot this time of year is suicide."

Twilight tried her best to plead with her friend to not go to Canterlot in such short notice. Even though she took the occasional business visit to the city, going at this current time of year was considered to be similar to a death wish. Of course, the days grew near and the early stages of estrus have started to set in with some, while others were not so unfortunate. And even as of now, the ones who were afflicted were a ways away from being in a sex-crazed frenzy.

"Oh come now, darling. It's only a commission to repair a suit. It's not like the world is going to end." Rarity reminded Twilight, brushing off her warning.

"No. But the estrus season starts in three to five days, and there have already been some cases reported."

Rarity released a distressed and annoyed sigh as she rolled her eyes. "I can manage to keep myself chaste. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?"

Twilight teleported herself directly in front of Rarity's face. "EVERYTHING! The estrus season is the worst in the city of Canterlot. Mares are so persistent to find a mate that they'd go into a bloodlust frenzy and fight anypony they run into that's not a stallion."

Rarity held a hoof to her mouth in response to hearing what the purple mare had just said. "That bad?"

Twilight walked past her friend to organize a nearby bookshelf that caught her attention. "They will even fight a stallion for a chance to rut him for the whole week."

"Isn't that a bit extreme?" The seamstress asked as Twilight switched two books that sat next to each other around so that the numerical order was according to the system that they were to be categorized.

"Rarity, Ponyville has a mare-to-stallion ratio of three-to-one. Canterlot's ratio, since the invasion weeks ago, is currently standing at seven-to-one, including the exodus of stallions leaving to other cities for safety's sake."

Rarity took into account Twilight's warning, but at the same time, she knew that a simple job of fixing a uniform was something that can be resolved in a day's time. An easy pay with a quick leave. "Well I can assure you that my little tenure will not take as long. And besides, I can handle anything that comes my way. At least give me some credit, Twilight."

"Rarity, you can't leave." Twilight begged.

"Well darling, my commissions usually run dry at this time of the year. I need the bits to feed Opal while I'm locked in." Rarity states, reminding that her normal errands would be put on halt due to the other stores and outlets being closed for the remainder of the week.

"I'm just saying it's not a good idea."

"Twilight do you trust me?" Rarity asked, giving her friend a concerned look.

Twilight paused for a moment, finally surrendering to the question and her argument. "Yes."

Rarity cooed with glee as she nuzzled the purple unicorn mare. "Then will you at least have the faith to see that I will make it out of this unharmed and unchanged?"

"Fine. Go on ahead." Twilight answered, waiving her off.

"Thank you!"

Rarity started to trot to the front door when Twilight turned around and spoke back to her. "And when you get back, please do me a favor and notify me if Spike gets out of the library. I don't want some crazy mare to take advantage of him."

Feeling as if her friend was unaware of how the season passed in the town of Ponyville, she offered counsel on what would be the worst possible thing that could ever happen. "Twilight, many of the mares here are more tame in their seasons. I don't think that you will see nothing more than a few mares pleasuring themselves in a dark alley somewhere."

"Yes, but Spike doesn't need to be exposed to that." Twilight snapped back, sounding somewhat overprotective of her young dragon assistant.

Rarity thought about how she could endure such a tumultuous time without relieving herself of the built-up stress and sexual frustration without exposing Spike to her habits. "Then how do you take care of your... *ahem* needs?"

"I do have a basement, and Spike is not allowed down there. He understands that I'll be performing some experiments and will not want to be disturbed."

"Oh."

Twilight smiled as she gave Rarity one final hug before she made her way out to the train station. "But either way, I hope that you come back in enough time to avoid the seasonal exodus."

"I will do my best."

The Canterlot Central Station seemed to be in full-swing as ponies lined from end to end. But there was something different about the travelers that only occurred once every year. Stallions all lined up and waited for trains to various locations of the country. If anything, they were trying to escape the impending throng of mares trying to mate them into the dirt. The estrus season, and it's impact on mares, was heavily based on population, ratios of the opposite sex and their accessibility. And being that a majority of the stallions in the city were either closeted colt-cuddlers, stallions who couldn't hold their own in a fight and politicians trying to find an escape from their wives, the was only a small few that would remain in the city. Most of them being guards. As the train station remained in a vocal uproar, a voice called to a grey unicorn mare with a silver and lavender mane.

"Hello!"

Velvet turned around to see who was addressing her and smiled upon seeing the mare being cleared from the crowd. "Cadance, dear, thank goodness you're here! I was starting to get worried."

Velvet and Cadance exchanged kisses on each cheek as they greeted each other. "Yeah. If it wasn't for Shining, I would've missed the train!"

"Well just try not to be so late next time."

"How are you doing this morning?"

Velvet pulled out a map of Equestria with a particular city circled in red as well as a traveler's brochure. "Splendid, my dear. I cannot of any better way of spending time with you. I know that you've always wanted to head out to Baltimare to see the Inner Harbor, the Equestrian Visionary Arts Museum. Oh goodness, I just can't wait to show you everything.

"Well it's awfully nice of you to show me around your hometown."

"Yes. And we will have a third to accompany us." Velvet answered.

"Your husband?" Cadance guessed.

"Goodness no! I won't dare sully the time that is between us girls. I was talking about picking up Twilight from Ponyville and taking her with us."

Cadance would normally show her immediate excitement, but she became concerned over what her sister-in-law may have already have planned. "Isn't she busy?"

"That's the problem. She's always busy. But since she started to frequent our communication with each other, I decided that sweeping her away from all of this mundane work would be in the best interest."

Cadance giggled at Velvet's response. It was very much like her to become so engrossed in literature that she'd almost ignore the house burning down. "Yeah, Twilight can be caught in a book-a-thon without even caring for what's going on around her."

"Which is why we're taking her with us."

Cadance happily nodded her head. "Well, I don't see why not. The more, the merrier!"

"ALL ABOARD! NEXT STOP IN PONYVILLE!" A voice on the loudspeaker sounded out to the travelers. In a rush, stallions proceeded to take the earliest train out of the town, but failed to get past the conductors lined up at the entrances, checking for any wanderers who just wanted to leave town, despite their paid destination being somewhere in the opposite direction. Cadance and Velvet started to walk forward as the line they stood in started to move.

"Guess that's us."

The train silently chugged along as Rarity continued to sit in her seat, looking at the empty space around her. For moments, the constant sound of the train drumming against the rails grew tiresome and she would turn to her left to speak to one of her friends, only to find that she was alone.

It was always like this when she rode the train alone, considering that she and six others would normally exchange stories and jokes to speed up the travel. But instead, the lasting silence is what greeted her.

"Hmm... It's awfully quiet without everypony being around."

Rarity turned her attention from the empty seats and looked to the passing trees and mountains in the window. As each scene passed her by, she thought more on what Twilight had said to her. It was disturbing to think that mares would be so barbaric come this time of year to get what they desired, but the reminder of her not being around for long gave her comfort.

"Oh well, I suppose that it shouldn't be that bad of an issue. I can handle myself."

Her mind cleared of her worries over the season and focused on her client. It was oddly unusual that she was ever contacted to do anything this time of year, let alone something so small of a task and get paid handsomely for it.

"But at the same time, to know that a client is so willing to pay so much for a patch job is moderately concerning."

A brief self-discussion soon concluded with the familiar thought of her pet running around the house, clawing away at everything and knocking things over as she protested the lack of food.

"D'ohhh, nevermind. A profit is a profit and I need those bits to carry Opal through the week of me locking myself in the house."

As Rarity finished her self-contained argument, she was disturbed by the voice of the conductor over the train's loudspeakers.

"Our next location will be in Canterlot Central Station. Please remember to secure your belongings before the stop is made that way you won't forget anything. Thank you for riding with us and we hope that you will have a pleasant day."

"Well, here's my stop." Rarity said as she pulled her small travel bag from the overhead bin. And by small, Rarity packed a full suitcase filled with sewing supplies, fabrics, her notepad for when she became inspired by something and several outfits for various occasions. She thought it was best to always be prepared.

As the train came to a complete stop in Canterlot, the doors opened as she left the train. Rarity held onto her bag as best as she could, but the cumbersome size had proved to be a hindrance to her pace. She tugged at the large bag and cursed herself for not getting a similar bag with wheels installed. She even cursed herself further now that her errand-drake was nowhere to be seen. Spike would normally do this kind of thing with a smile, but for now she was on her own. Suddenly, her load became a little lighter for a brief period of time. In a second, her bags grew heavy again, but easier to move. When she looked back, she saw that a stallion, who was also packed for a leave, placed her baggage on a cart.

"Thank you, kind sir."

"No problem at all." He responded.

Rarity glanced at the stallion as she started to leave the station, but soon found herself looking back to the familiar stallion. She ran up to him with her curiosity driving her every step. "Oh! Do I know you?"

"Uh, maybe." The stallion answered as he turned around to face the mare.

It didn't take long for the fashionista to identify who he was. "Ah! I remember, you were the one that was dancing with Granny Smith at the wedding."

"Well... yeah." He answered bluntly, thinking about the spry elderly mare.

"Then you danced with Big Mac and Applejack, correct."

He held a cringe to himself as he thought back to the night of the wedding, where he salsa'd with Granny Smith and Tangoed with Big Mac. "So far."

"So you're the fellow that Applejack was talking to! How are you doing?"

Poindexter scratched his mane as he looked back to the train platform. "Well, I'm doing okay. Just a bit nervous."

"Really, for what?" Rarity asked.

"Applejack wanted me to have dinner with her and her folks."

"But... aren't you supposed to be on duty?

"No." He corrected with a hint of relief in his voice. "I'm on leave for a full ten days. I got lucky this year."

"How fortunate."

Poindexter's expression grew into concern as he thought about the real reason he was taking his leave from the city. "Have you ever been here during the season?"

"I've heard things." Rarity responded, thinking back to Twilight's answer.

"Well, trust what you hear on that one. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to repair a client's suit. Apparently, they must want something special patched up."

Poindexter hummed to himself as he thought about the mare's reason for coming. But her appearance still concerned him a bit. "Taking a gamble on such a small commission."

Rarity giggled as she tapped the large suitcase she brought along. "But the pay is absolutely worth it."

"ALL ABOARD!" A conductor calls out from the train that leads back to Ponyville. Poindexter gathered his things and galloped for the platform with his ticket.

"Well, that's my train! Gotta go!"

"Good luck, darling." Rarity shouted out to the guard as he ran inside of the train to pursue Applejack. "You'll be needing it."

Rarity arrived at the address of her client. She stared and gawked at the large home of her client. It was obvious that her promised payment was far from exaggerated. Elegant bars not only decorated, but protected the doors that led inside. The miniature villa towered above her, causing her to become a mix between scared of how powerful her client was and giddy over seeing the interior. "I wonder who lives in such a place. Close to the palace itself and still in the Keeping District. Must be a noble."

She knocked on the door, using her magic to hammer the knocker into the wood. She stood at the door for only a few seconds before her client stood before her. "Hey there!"

"Or... a prince." She finished to herself as she recognized the stallion that stood before her. "Ah... Shining Armor... what a pleasant surprise!"

"Yeah..."

The two stared at each other for some time, not saying a word or moving. Rarity cleared her throat to get herself back on track. "So..."

"...Y-yes?"

The moment continued to become even more awkward than before as she tried her best to start up some small talk. "Um... how is your day?"

"Not so great, I managed to somehow run a bad tear into my uncle's uniform." He informed her, cringing all the while.

"Oh... I guess that it shouldn't be so bad."

"Wait till you see it for yourself." Shining grumbled, seeming upset over the situation.

"Oh. Well, may I enter?" Rarity asked.

Shining removed himself from the doorway, allowing the white unicorn mare to enter into the large foyer. A chandelier hung high in the air as a pair of staircases curled upward to the second floor. The room was adorned with numerous decorations of armor, shields, weapons and other forms of armament. Shining smiled as he held the door for her. "Come on in. I guess you don't mind some tea, coffee?"

Rarity took in the glamorous designs of the front room, staring in awe over how huge the entrance alone was. She couldn't even imagine how big the bedroom was. Though it didn't distract her from his question. "Tea with a spot of milk would be most delightful."

"Okay, I will see what I can mix up."

Rarity looked at the two stairwells and stood confused as to which direction to take as soon as she got to the second floor. "Um... where do I-"

"Upstairs, turn left and head straight down the hall. My uniform should be on the bed."

"Okay."

The two started to make their way up the stairs and down the hall to the bedroom as Shining escorted her. He knew that he liked her and that he had some extra time to spend with her outside of Cadance's knowing. This was a perfect opportunity to make his reoccurring dream a reality.

The door to the master bedroom opened to reveal a large bed placed in the center. Rarity grinned as she saw how big the room really was and started to take a look around. Shining walked in behind her and placed her suitcase on the side of the bed. He turned his attention to the bright-red uniform still sitting on the top of his bed.

"Let me know if you need anything. I'll be right up."

"There'll be no need for that, but thank you anyways." Rarity answered as she snapped herself out of her prying curiosity, closing a nearby drawer.

"Okay. Thanks a lot."

Rarity looked at the uniform and saw the gaping hole in the side. Her first response was a gasp followed by a long sigh, indicating that she had some work cut out for her if she needed to repair this uniform to a wearable condition. "You could've told me that it was you. I would've given you some sort of bargain."

Shining waived his hooves. "Nah. I don't wanna do business like that."

Rarity sat on the bed, exhausted from her travels. She became surprised by the level of comfort and even more so of it's size as she laid in it. She could easily lie in the bed three times over before falling off the edge. Letting herself relax, she fell back into the sheets. "Oh goodness, that is a very, VERY large bed."

"Cadance always found comfort in larger beds, plus she's a bit of a rough sleeper." Shining added as he sat beside her.

"Takes your side of the bed?"

"Yeah." He answered anxiously. He stared at the mare beside him, taking in the beauty of her appearance. Her carefully curled eyelashes, her well-curled mane and tail, the large blue eyes that looked back to him. She blushed as her eyes met with his and grew nervous as she could feel his body heat radiate next to her. Shining could feel the excitement growing inside of him as his hoof barely touched the fur of her haunches. Rarity tensed as she felt the hoof brush against her cutie mark.

"...So..."

Shining realized that she was far from comfortable enough to where he could take her and offered to take his leave. "I-I guess I'll start that tea." He stuttered.

Breaking her eyes off of him, she looked to the red uniform beside her. "You go do that."

Shining left the room and made his way to the kitchen downstairs. Meanwhile, Rarity looked at the uniform and couldn't help but to feel that something was amiss. Cadance would normally accompany him, and from what she was noticing, Cadance was nowhere to be found. She grew suspicious of what he really called her over to do. And as she levitated the uniform before her, as well as the suitcase to the top of the bed, she mumbled to herself.

"Something is off here."

Around thirty minutes had passed as Shining took to the kitchen in a pink apron. He didn't like wearing it, but it was one that Cadance would often wear when she made, or attempted to make, his dinner. So it was his only source of protection in the kitchen. As he continued to wait for the pot of tea to whistle, he cut up an assortment of vegetables, preparing a side dish for the tea.

"Shining darling, what have you been doing in this outfit to cause this thing to be in a state of disrepair?" Rarity called from upstairs as he worked.

"I've gotten into some rough playtime with the boys. We got into a bit of a heated spar and I got cut."

"Oh, well I hope you're okay."

He turned on a burner on the stove and allowed some water to boil in an empty pot. Later he added some seasonings to transform it into a creamy broth. "Oh yeah! That hospital has got some pretty good doctors. You can't even see the scar now."

"Well, just try not to get into a spar while wearing this again."

"Solid copy!" He shouted out as placed his vegetables in the boiling base of his dish. As he poured, Rarity caught his attention.

"What in the-"

"Rarity, are you okay?" He called back up the stairs, trying to make sure that everything was okay.

"I'm fine! Just ran into a minor issue. I've got it sorted out." She answered as a whistling noise started to pierce into his ears. Taking the kettle off of the stove, he placed it on the rear burner so that it could cool off a bit.

"Great. Tea's ready when you are."

In seconds, Rarity trotted down the stairs. Upon her decent, she was captivated by a smell that drew her attention to the kitchen, causing her stomach to grumble. "I beg your pardon, but what is this delightful aroma filling the room?"

Shining walked out of the kitchen to speak with her. "Oh, I'm just making a specialty my mom used to make. I was hoping to get it done with the tea. Cremé a la Carrót, have you ever had any?"

"Well in my work, I've had several carrot, oat and apple-based dishes." She said, stopping midway from her downward venture.

"Well, you haven't have it like this." Shining states proudly.

Rarity grew intrigued by the stallion's suggestion. She never thought of him to be a cook, so she became open to the idea of tasting what he had to offer her. "What are you implying?"

"Why don't you come on down and find out? It's almost done."

Moments later, Rarity and Shining sat at the dining room table, happily filled with tea and the meal he provided. After a brief wait, Rarity requested some wine. Shining recalled a specific flavor that she took interest in and made his way to the cabinet in the kitchen. As he came back, he held a bottle and two glasses in tow. They both shared drinks and stories until the day grew late.

"You know, I've never really took to drinking that much, but with a bottle of this... well let's just say that I can become quite flushed." Rarity said with a light chuckle.

"So why this particular wine?" Shining asked as he stirred the glass. "This is a really cheap drink in comparison to much of the other brands around. I figured you would be interested in something a little more... full."

"Well as I said, darling, I'm not into drinking."

"And? You're drinking this." Shining argued as he held up the bottle of White Zinfandel.

"Because it's what I'm used to. My mother used to always have some of this on hoof when a special day came up. And when my coming-of-age celebration came to pass sometime two years ago, she gave me a glass of this."

"And you've been drinking it since?" He concluded, taking a sip of his glass.

"Every so often, yes."

"But why haven't you gone for something a little bolder?"

Rarity shook her head. "I didn't think that it was for me. And besides, I like the taste. And in speaking of taste, that meal was manifique! I cannot express to you how delicious that was."

Shining grew surprised of her reaction to his cooking. "Really? I actually thought that there was something missing."

"Well if it's not broke, my dear." She joked.

"Right. But anyways, how's the patch-job coming along?"

"Give me a moment. I'll be back down." Rarity rose from her seat and walked up stars, leaving Shining to his drink. It didn't take her long to retrieve the red uniform as it looked as if there had been no damage done to it at all. "Good as new!"

Shining praised her for her work. "Awesome! I cannot tha-"

*KLING*

Rarity also placed a pair of scissors on the table. Shining looked to the tool and back up to the mare, who's expression turned from bright and engaging, to complete indifference.

"What's with the scissors?"

"Well, I was hoping that you would tell me." She said as she scooted the instrument towards him.

"What do you mean?"

"...Well, while I was looking at the cut in your uniform, I managed to see that the cut was conveniently straight as if a blade had been brought against it."

Shining tried to explain what had happened to the uniform once more. "Well, I did get into a spar."

"Another thing, I found these scissors on the nightstand, still ajar." She answered as she levitated the sharp object in front of him, giving him a better look.

"Cadance could've used those to cut her mane-"

Rarity interrupted his sentence with the separation of the two blades, causing red strands of thread to fall to the table. She immediately grew insulted by his testament. "With red fibers in the teeth? Mister Armor, I suppose you would expect me to believe such a fallacy when Cadance clearly does not have a trace of red in her mane."

"Well...I-" Shining couldn't argue that he was responsible for the hole in his uniform. At this point, he couldn't deny what he did nor could he come up with a lie good enough to save himself.

"Now, either you confess what's really going on and why did you bring me here or I will take my leave, right now." She demanded, slamming her hoof on the table and letting the pair of scissors fall to the ground.

"Well... I... You see-"

"Why am I here? What was the real reason why you brought me here?"

"Rarity-"

"And where is Cadance?"

Shining couldn't avoid it anymore. If he didn't say anything, then she would leave. And if he had told her the truth, then there was a possibility that she may stay. He took the gamble and a deep breath and told her what was really going on. "...She's out of town."

"For how long?"

Shining rose from his seat and walked towards her. "However long we need."

Before the fashionista could object, she found her words silenced by a pair of lips pressing firmly against hers. Rarity tried to pull away from him as he continued his assault.

"No! Stop... nnngh..."

She pressed against him, trying to free herself from his grip, but he was too strong to overcome in such a situation. He whispered to her as he continued to force his kisses upon her. "Oh Rarity, I've wanted this for so long."

"STOP!" She screamed to the top of her lungs, scaring the stallion. Shining immediately retreated from her and gave her some distance as he realized that he forced himself onto her.

"Oh no. Rarity, I didn't mean to-"

The furious mare held a hoof up as she turned away from him. "You stop right there, mister 'I didn't mean to'! You meant to take advantage of your wife being away for a chance to have your way with me!"

"I'm sorry."

"SORRY!? You've voided the sanctity of your marriage!"

Shining stood silently as he watched the livid mare breathe heavily from the pent-up anger. He had already knew that there was no going back, so he continued to throw all of his chips in at this moment. There was nothing left to lose. He needed to come clean and he needed to do it now. "Look, when I was at the alter-"

"What we did that night was a complete mistake." Rarity said, not wanting Shining to complete his statement.

"No, not then. Before that."

"I don't want to hear it!"

Shining allowed the frustration of her ignoring him get the better of his actions as he drove a hoof into a nearby wall, strong enough to cause the wall to rumble, but light enough to leave only an imprint. Rarity became silenced out of fear of his antic, while he screamed his heart to her. "THE VOWS I SPOKE WERE FOR YOU!"

"...Pardon me?" Rarity asked as she felt her blood run cold from the shock of what the prince had said to her.

"I find that you haunt me, even to this very day. Our past may have not been perfect, but we've still made it through. You were there when I was at my best, and you even lifted my spirits when I was at my worst. You even consoled me over what was lost to me. And even now, all it took was one kiss from you to know what was meant to be... All it took was one kiss. I'm sure that the wheels of fate turned, and brought to me a perfect moment of tenderness and happiness. From now on... every minute, every second that I have, I will spend beside you, to make you happy."

Rarity could feel nothing but bittersweet sadness as she stared back to the stallion. "...Shining, why?"

He walked up to her, placing her hooves in his. "I made a mistake. I married Cadance because I felt sorry for her. I even lied to myself, saying that I loved her. I didn't want the vows to be said during the second wedding because I would've only lied to her. Those words... they were for you."

Rarity pulled away from the stallion and started to make her way to the upstairs room. "I need to leave."

"What?"

"I need to leave. I need to go."

Shining watched as she quickly ascended the stairs to retrieve her luggage. She didn't waste any time in leaving him. Shining shouts to her from the bottom of the stairs. "Why! WHY!"

"Because you're married now! I can't do this to you!" She responded, struggling to move the suitcase down the flight of stairs.

"Consider it as payback-"

Rarity tugged away at the large case, letting it batter against each step she took downward. She furiously stormed to the front door. "For sleeping with my mother? I'm sorry, but I don't believe in payback that breaks families and destroys lives."

Shining stood at the door, not allowing the mare to leave him. "Rarity, I'm sorry."

"It's not enough!"

Shining becomes desperate to have her. He had already showed her his heart. To her, it was far too late, while to him, it was early enough to make things right. In a move of final desperation, he clung onto her forelegs, preventing her from moving forward. "No."

The stallion remained persistent in his attempt to keep her, while she continued to resist him. "Let me go!"

"No."

"LET ME GO, THIS INSTANT!"

"I don't want to lose you!"

"Well you should've though about that before you've gotten married!"

He took a deep breath as he played the final card he could use to make things between them right; he used the marriage he chose to abandon. "RARITY ANDALUSIA BELLE, I WILL ANNUL MY MARRIAGE TO CADANCE IF YOU STAY!"

Rarity stopped moving. Shining remained clutched to the mare's forelegs, disabling her from taking a step forward. She knew that he had liked her and that she liked him, but she had already promised herself to move forward from him, no matter how painful it was. But his pleas didn't make it any easier for her to make a decision whether to stay or leave. She blamed him for being so insistent on being with her, a luxury that he could no longer afford. "Don't... please... you sound pathetic."

Shining groveled at her hooves, showering them with kisses. "Then treat me as such. I don't care if you make me your dog, I want to serve you, I want to be with you."

His kisses started to break her resistance. Her body started to heat up as he held her, enamoring her with his affection. She blushed as his kisses started to trail higher and higher up her foreleg. "I can't do this."

"Please just listen to me." He begged, sounding like a child bargaining for his beloved toy. Rarity felt herself become like gelatin as he continued to bestow upon her kisses to her hooves she walked on. To be treated as such was her dream, her fantasy. Add the stallion whom she loved since foalhood, and eventually the wall that was her protection tumbled over like a rotten tree. In an instinctive flash, she acted and spoke without consenting to thought.

"Get away from me!"

She removed her hooves from his lips and pushed forward with all of her might. Opening her eyes, she found the stallion before her, knocked to the floor as he recovered from the brutal hit. In that instant, she realized what she had done to him.

"Shining... Oh my goodness... Shining Armor, are you hurt?"

The prince blinked a few times, trying to refocus his sight to the beautiful mare in front of him. A strange indignation caused him to rise on his hooves as he stared back to the mare that hit him square in the jaw. "You..." He spoke slowly as a small bead of crimson fell from the side of his mouth.

"You're bleeding, I'll call for a doctor. I'll call fo-mmmph!"

Shining pushed the mare onto the floor, but not before shoving his lips against hers. She felt a strong flame gravitating her towards the prince. She already knew what she wanted, and for her it was long overdue. As he pulled his lips away from his, the sweet fantasy of her lips was broken by the painful reality that was his stinging wound. "Gnnngh!"

"What are you doing?"

"What I should've a long time ago."

Rarity tried to adjust herself so that she was in a more dominant position. Unfortunately for her, Shining stood over her body, allowing her little space to maneuver. "Get off of me."

"Make me." Shining responded with a sly grin, which was soon wiped off his face in a instant as Rarity grabbed the stallion and rotated their positions. It was now Shining who was on the ground as he accidentally bumped his head against the floor. "Ouch!"

"AHA!" Rarity cheered as she relished in her minor victory. "Pinned! I suppose that the former Captain of the Guard has lost his touch."

"I let you win." Shining refused to admit that he was caught off guard.

"That's a lie and you know it."

He sighed as he finally conceded to her. "Fine, I lose... You beat me."

Rarity didn't exactly hear his confession as much as she was paying attention to the small red smudge on the side of his lip. "That looks like it hurts a bit."

"Just a bruise, I'll be fine."

"Awww, does the wittle bwaby want mwommy to kiss the boo-boo?" Rarity asked as she taunted the stallion.

"No." Answered Shining begrudgingly.

"Come here, darling." Rarity ignored his answer and proceeded to give him a soft tender kiss where his injury had occurred.

"Ah!" Shining hissed as the kiss left a slight sting.

"All better?"

He knew that the sting was quite unpleasant, but the kiss that he received from her was far more potent in it's ability to send small ripples of pleasure throughout his body. His lips were but a minor objection to what he felt. "Actually, yeah. A lot."

"That's..." Rarity had forgotten what she wanted to say. Her words escaped her as she stared back at the stallion below her. Her breathing increased as she felt the familiar heat he caused earlier surge up once more.

"...You okay?"

Rarity kissed him on his injury once more. "I just thought you needed another, for good measure."

"It feels good." He admitted, feeling himself becoming aroused by the thought of this mare before him, the mare of his dreams, kissing him as he lied on the floor. The way her lips lingered as she separated herself from him is what really drove him wild.

"I've had practice with a little sister and a baby dragon when it comes to comforting those who are younger than you."

His teeth pulled at the flesh of his lower lip as he moaned quietly. "Can I have another?"

"Of course." She answered in a whisper, kissing him on the lips with a long and tender press. As she retreated, she felt herself wanting to stay fixed upon him. But she tried her best to pace herself on how quickly this could escalate, remembering that her time in the castle would've been fulfilling only for a brief moment. She wanted to enjoy him.

"Um..."

"Does that feel better?"

Shining inched his head closer to her as she leaned over him. "Can I have one more?"

"Yes..." She gave him a quick peck to tease him, to lure him in. Upon the short reunion and release, Shining pleaded for more.

"Another?"

"Yes." Rarity could feel herself lose pace on how slow she wanted to go. At this very moment, her nethers dripped with anticipation, just as she felt his own eagerness press against her soft underbelly. Their next kiss was all but dignified as they brought their lips together for a second, parted, then crashed into one another's with a fervent animosity. Their tongues swirled as she shifted her body up and down his throbbing stallionhood. He growled maliciously as he started to thrust against her, causing him to become lost in his own personal desire.

But this time, he didn't want to let himself jump to the main event without first seeing what she was capable of outside of the realm of intercourse. His hooves caressed her smaller, voluptuous figure. He could feel every curve of her, settling from her hips up to her upper body. Rarity gasped for air as their kiss grew long without breath. Shining was anxious to get started, but he took his time as he lowed his hoof to her haunches, causing her to squeak in expectation. Then, he removed himself from her, making her whimper as she expected him to touch her.

Her hooves pulled him back downward, to meet with two small mounds beneath her belly. With a croon, she encouraged him to go even further down. Her invitation would not be ignored as he dug his hoof against the soaking wet lips of her marehood. A silent cry left her lips as she arched herself away from him and into the air. The surge of pleasure rode throughout her body as she stared back down to him.

"Five more?"

"Mister Shining, I believe five would be an insufficient amount."

She got off of him, letting him stand up on his own. As he recovered, she continued where they had left off. Rarity pushed him forward into the room as they exchanged the offerings of their tongues with one another. She screamed as the painful itch in her innermost depths rose to a blistering degree. She tried her best to make it to the stairs, but she soon found herself backed into a wall. She pushed him back, briefly separating them from the kiss before she charged at him, resuming her own assault. Their argument continued until they had managed to bring themselves back into the dining room.

"Fuck, I want you so bad." Shining vulgarly stated as he chomped down on his lower lip. The pain of his wound had all but disappeared, but that didn't stop him from wanting to do what he could to please his princess.

"Table." She commanded, magically shoving everything off of the surface so that they would have room enough to work. He stared as she hopped on top of the wooden surface. Rarity leaned back and brought a hoof to her lower lips, encircling the winking mound of her clitoris. She cried out in pain as she demanded his entrance.

"Now!?" Shining asked, completely bewildered by her desire to get it over with.

"Why not!" She shouted back to him, still masturbating before him.

His eyes followed every encircling motion her hoof took as she bit her other hoof in return. Her body began to feel as if she was on the verge of being incinerated. His own mast stood at the ready, more than willing to impale the mare and put her out of her misery that was the nine year itch. But that wasn't what he wanted to do. He wanted to take his time in pleasing her.

He had learned much from his time with Cadance. One of those things were how to please a mare without giving her everything upfront. And especially in the case of a first-timer like Rarity, he needed to warm her up to the occasion of being deflowered. Luckily, there was a compromise to where not only he could satisfy her, but also take his time in pleasing her. With an outward tongue, he lowered himself, held on to the mare's hind legs and allowed his tongue to travel from the bottom of the saturated slit to the very tip of the mound that hid underneath.

"Oh good heavens! YES!" She could almost feel the stress on her back becoming uncomfortable as she arched herself, holding the stallion to her moist slit.

He enjoyed the taste of the mare before him. It was a different taste than what he was accustomed to with his wife. His nine years with her had managed to nearly bore him. For each time, there was a change to how they would please each other, but the one thing that remained a constant was the way Cadance tasted when his tongue touched her lower lips. Instead, Rarity was something out of the ordinary, a delicacy that only he had the opportunity of tasting.

Rarity often wondered what it was like to become like the princess she depicted in her dreams. At that moment, she had came to the conclusion that her dream didn't even hold a candle to what was happening right now. Small squeaks left her lips as his tongue lapped at her sex, becoming completely dampened by his actions. But she was not yet satisfied with his performance.

"Harder! Harder please!" She begged him, holding him against her marehood with both hooves accompanied by the reinforcement of her magic.

Shining pressed his tongue as deep as it could go into her, eliciting a loud cry from the mare he serviced. He curled his tongue upwards, making sure that he hit the layer underneath her clitoris, intensifying her pleasure. Immediately, he felt the mare release him out of the shock. He could also feel her starting to clutch against his tongue. She was starting to experience her first orgasm, and Shining wouldn't deny her the privilege. Pulling away, he suckled at the pink mound, pulling her with him as he tugged, until his lips separated with an audible pop.

"SHINING!!!" Rarity screamed as she shuddered violently, suffering the effects of her orgasm crashing down upon her like a strong bolt of lightning surging through her body. She came down from her first climax, nearly speechless from the new experience. Meanwhile, Shining not only took pride in his work, but he also reveled in the taste of the virgin mare. He rose his head from in between her haunches, facing her as he wiped some of her juices off of his muzzle.

"You... I can't even speak."

Rarity stared down the stallion and started to get an idea. Being that her sex life was rather dry, she turned to erotic books to satisfy her after a long day of work. And in her time reading, she had often read up on some books that often described certain characters performing particular fetishes. One of those fetishes was where a stallion had managed to capture a figure of royalty and ordered her to perform lewd and indecent acts to please him. Immediately her mind filled with numerous ideas she could try out. And the main advantage she carried was that she could easily get him to do whatever she desired right now. She was more than willing to take advantage of the situation.

Rarity rose from the table and stood back onto the floor. "Are you ready to serve me, my dear knight?"

"Yes. I will do anything to please you." He answered proudly.

"Down!" Suddenly, Rarity pushed him down to the ground, leaving his legs, as well as his extra appendage, suspended into the air. Lying on the ground, he notified her that he was ready.

"Yes, your highness!"

She knelt before him, finally seeing the instrument that drove him to madness, the very same instrument that defiled many mares before her, the instrument that she sought to tame. "Tell me, what am I to do with this?"

"Whatever comes to mind, milady."

She poked a hoof at the towering erection, causing it to twitch in response. She gave a facetious grin and eased her hoof against the skin of him. Upon reaching the top, she could see a small trail of liquid running down the side, coming from the very tip of his stallionhood. "Absolutely filthy."

"I am terribly sorry, your excellency." Shining said, playing along. This was a game that was too familiar to him for it to be something so foreign. The only thing that had changed was the mare he did it with.

"You need to be cleansed. Just look at this filthy thing." She continued to tease him with heated breaths brushing against the needful extension. She nuzzled the warm length, basking in the smell that it gave off. She began to kiss it gently against the base, working her way up in an agonizing pace.

"I will do as you ask, my lady." He answered with a flush in his cheeks. He gritted his teeth as the mare continued her ministrations. There was little he could do since he was the one playing the submissive role. He laid back and allowed her to carry on with what she had planned for him. She rolled the shaft around her muzzle, causing him to leak more fluids from within. He was going insane from the level of buildup she had managed to produce. Rarity opened her mouth and allowed her tongue to travel from the bottom of his sex, up the veiny length and finally to the tip of his flared instrument. The stream of precum now settled onto her tongue as she left his hips in search of his lips.

"Taste it." She plunged her tongue into his mouth, swirling the combination of her own spittle and his fluids onto her. In turn he offered his own mixture, giving her a taste of herself. For seconds that seemed to go on as hours, they exchanged the tastes of each other. Finally, the kiss broke with a small strand of liquid bridging the rapidly expanding gap between their lips. Shining could feel the tiny droplets of their exchange dribble on his chest.

"Rarity, when did you become like this?"

"Quiet!" She commanded as she his stallionhood a light smack, causing it to bob back and forth.

"Yes, milady."

Rarity took her tongue and ran up and down the stallion's length a numerous amount of times before allowing him the pleasure of the warm embrace of her mouth. Her lips parted as she sank herself part-ways down the stallion's shaft. Soft groans sounded as Shining found himself rolling his eyes in the bliss. Whispers of encouragement sounded to Rarity's ears as Shining remained obedient to her. Not once did he move for the sake of his own desire. He was broken to obey by that of his wife, it was only fitting that he'd show the mare that should be what Cadance is to him now, the very same level of discipline. Though, his discipline didn't exclude his body from approaching what was inevitable.

Rarity's lips separated with a gasp for air as well as a loud plop. Jerking the stallion with a hoof, she looked directly into his eyes. "I suppose you want to want me to finish you off?"

Meeting the large portals of sapphire, Shining tried his best to not instinctively thrust upward as he begged. "Yes, please!"

"Oh... Well that's too bad. Finish yourself." In a cruel fashion, she pushed away the well-endowed stallionhood, leaving him to complete her task for her. She took in depraved pleasure from seeing the stallion squirm as he tried his best to finish off what she had started.

"Where?" He asked with powerful grunts, trying to reach his climax, which started to escape him if he didn't continue the fervent pace to which his hoof moved. In turn, he became surprised by what she offered as his vice.

"My hooves. Worship them. Give unto them a plentiful offering, my dear knight." She requested in character, extending a hoof outward as if he was to kiss it.

"May I taste, my princess?" He asked, panting with rabid arousal.

"I suppose it is customary that they should be cleaned before they receive their offerings. Use your tongue."

Immediately, he took his tongue and cleaned every inch of her hooves. Rarity cooed with excitement as the loyal knight followed her every order. She blushed deeply as he continued to tease her with his praises. His tongue swiped away at every nook and cranny of her lovely snow-white forelegs.

"Shining, you wonderful pet!" She cheered as he used his magic to try and move her hoof to his twitching erection, the tip flaring out to an enormous size. Rarity was astounded at the stallion's girth.

"I... I'm cumming!"

As he completed his warning, thick strands of white, hot cum doused the mare's hooves, but not before hitting another unintended target. In a moment of accidental occurrence, ropes of his semen jettisoned into the air, hitting her on all of her forelegs, her face and even her mane. Rarity fell back as she was caught off her guard by the constant stream of his seed. As he continued to dribble some of himself onto the floor Rarity wiped her mane to find the sticky fluid in her well-coiffed curls.

"Oops." Shining mumbled.

"Eewwww!"

"Sorry! So sorry! I didn't mean to get it in your mane. Or any on your face."

Blinded by a thick coating of his seed over her eyelids, she reached out in every direction in hopes of wiping off her eyes. "I can see that."

Shining pulled a cloth off the table, giving it to the mare. The moment she cleared her eyes of his semen, she glared at him menacingly. He offered his apologies, or at least tried to. "Please forgive me. I can-"

"Raaagh!" With a roar, she pulled her mane out of the carefully constructed curls, causing her hair to fall into a mess of curls and strands. She breathed heavily as she angrily eyed the prince.

"Woah... that's-"

"ARMOR!!!" With a blood-curling scream, she pounced onto him.

This time, he was more than prepared to take her on as he lifted the mare above the ground holding her tightly as her body remained suspended in the air while he stood on his hind legs. As he wobbled to support her, he stumbled and regained his balance as he held her against a nearby wall. There he stood as she held on to his shoulders while he cradled her by her plot and securing her further by reaching around her.

"Fuck!" He shouted out, relieved that he didn't drop her.

Rarity looked down as she felt something prodding away at her entrance. "You're still hard?"

Shining snickered with a devilish grin. "Persistence is a key element in pleasing royalty, your highness."

"Good!" In an instant, she released her hold on his shoulders, aligned him with her magic and sank down on top of him. The taking of her flower was instant.

"Woah there-"

"AAAH!~"

"Rarity, you okay?" He asked out of concern that she may have been in pain.

Oddly enough, the initial pain of her first time was only a minor inconvenience. It was apparent that all of Shining's foreplay to prepare her for this moment was more than sufficient to loosen her up. Wrapping her hooves around his shoulders, she bounced up and down a few times, trying to prime him into the act. "Well, don't just stand there. Get to it!"

"Oh fuck!" He shouted as he felt her grasping him as he entered and exited from her moist, velvety walls. Her chest heaved out as a reflexive thrust from Shining caused her to experience an unbelievable jolt of pleasure that threatened to shut down her entire body. Her reaction to his thrust drove him to want more.

Shining held his balance as he continued to ram himself into her, causing her to elicit primal grunts. He was excited to see her become so uncivilized in her venture into the world of marehood. She recovered from her limp state and speared her tongue into his mouth, ignoring the lips that sealed himself shut. Shining gave a powerful thrust upward into Rarity, making her open her eyes in shock of his forceful entry. Shining deepened the kiss as his tongue battled back hers, causing her to retreat back into her own quarters.

Shining started to feel himself straining to keep both himself on his hind legs and holding her with him. But refusing to exit from her, he placed her gently on the floor so he could finish. Rarity wrapped her forelegs around Shining's torso as he worked himself into a slow rhythm. Rarity clenched herself around him as tight as she could while he pulled away, and loosened with each entry he made. She moaned lustfully as she stared back at the clench-eyed stallion above her.

"Do I feel good?" She asked as he continued to piston himself in and out of her.

"Yes." Shining out panted in between breaths.

"Do you want to go faster?" Rarity asked, now gyrating her hips against him while he exited. The way her hips swirled as he plowed into her ended up making him increase his pace.

"Yes." He cried out, begging that she'd keep going. He was infatuated with the way she worked herself as he drove his stallionhood into her.

Rarity started to massage his length while she worked her hips against his. She oohed in tandem with his breaths. "Do you want to go deeper?"

"Rrraaagh!" Shining had had enough of her being the one in charge as he roared and rose off of the mare, flipping her over to her belly as he took her creamy wet slit for a venture. Rarity buckled over as her lover dove deep into her, his tip kissing the very walls of her womb's entrance. Rarity squeaked like a helpless mouse as she was slowly taken to her end by the predator who assaulted her relentlessly.

"Shining!" She screamed as he hammered his hips into hers, his scrotum slapping against the wet flesh of her haunches.

"Rarity. I love you." He whispered into her ear before tugging away at it, biting the tip of her ear. She felt her body becoming significantly weaker as his thrust progressed. She felt herself ascend past the workings of traditional bliss and entered into the realm of nirvana as her marehood was invaded by the stallion's pulsing erection. Her orgasm was soon approaching.

"My one and only knight, where have you been all this time?"

Meanwhile, Shining could feel himself closing in on his second orgasm. He rapidly rammed his stallionhood into her drenched sex as he cried out to her. "I'm close!"

"Don't you dare pull out!" She commanded, turning back to him.

"But-"

"You will not finish until I have! Now keep going!"

Shining nodded as he stood up to his hind legs again, this time as he took her from behind. Unfortunately, he had managed to step in a small puddle of her juices, causing him to slip a bit. Before he could regain his balance, his hooves instinctively reached out for the nearest secured object, which happened to be the indigo curls of the mare's tail. He inwardly swore at himself for his mistake. "Shit!"

Rarity, on the other hoof, saw his gesture as something different entirely.

"OH YES! PULL MY TAIL!!!" She shouted as she backed into him feverishly, wanting to be completely defaced by the stallion. He initially stared at the reaction that was stimulated by his accident. But the sight of the mare pressing back at him made something within him snap.

He pulled at her tail as he began to meet her hips halfway. The clapping sound of flesh filled the room along with the stench of their debauchery. Rarity felt something else now. Aside from the stallion entering into her, she felt him growing. She knew that he would fountain into her.

"I'm cumming!" He shouted as he pulled at her tail.

Rarity giggled as she bit her lip. "Fill me. Make me suffer! Make me feel loved."

"Your highness!"

Her lower lip escaped the clenching vice of her teeth as she shouted back to him with all of her might. "Shining, make me a mother."

Shining instantly paused for a brief moment. "What!?"

She continued to press herself against him, maintaining the pace he started. "Make me a mother. I know that you didn't have much with my mother, so please take me instead. Let me be the vessel for your child."

"But I-"

"It's the only thing that I'll have that's truly yours! It will be our standing testament of our love! I want to have your foals!"

Shining took a moment to think about what she had offered to him. He was more than willing to give her what she desired, but it came with a price. "Only if you say you love me."

Rarity stopped herself, edging near her orgasm. Though it frustrated her to do so, she wanted to make it clear that what she gave to him was indeed genuine. Her body, her first time, the flower of her remaining innocence. "If I could live my life without knowing you, I'd suffer. If I could live my life knowing that I had loved you and lost you, then I would be content. It is better to had and lost something than to live wishing for it without it coming true. I will take this memory over the madness that is to never be. I love you Shining Armor!"

Shining didn't need any more reinforcement as he yanked at her tail, entering her as her body jerked backwards into him. Her entire world fell apart as his shattered into broken glass. "I LOVE YOU, RARITY!"

In that moment, the fates that they shared had drastically changed. Rarity rose to heights that she couldn't fathom of it's existence. Shining ascended to a world where his dreams were now broken by the overwhelming sensations of the reality. Shining emptied himself into her depths as she quivered from the impact of his final few thrusts.

"♥~GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!~♥"

The two screamed loudly as they both fell to the floor, tired and in need of breath. Shining felt himself exit from the mare. Rarity unleashed a stream of clear juices as he exited from within her. Upon her own ejaculation, she managed to even expel some of his seed in the fluids. The mixture from their session pooled onto the floor as they both lied on the ground, catching their breath.

Shining and Rarity finally lied together, content with the act of their procreation. He was now pleased with the mare of his dreams, and she was more than accepting of the possible foal that would be in their future. They took a few breaths as they hugged each other, nuzzling one another. Shining kissed the mare on the forehead, causing Rarity to giggle as she whispered to him.

"Round two?"

Shining grinned. "Miss Rarity, I believe that two would be an insufficient amount."

Two hours have passed since their first go at each other. Even up to now, they had managed to share a second, a third and even a fourth for insurance. But now, they were more than exhausted. The two lied under the sheets of the large bed of the master bedroom. Shining even had Rarity wear the wedding dress, while she had made him wear the lingerie from the honeymoon. The two had managed to touch up on every fantasy imaginable to them. Now, even the creator would grow fond of their endeavors.

"Oh... wow..." Rarity said out of breath, hugged up to the stallion. She laid happily on his chest as he held her close to him.

"That was incredible."

"Shining Armor, you leave me speechless."

"You leave me wanting more."

"In a moment. Mommy's a little sore."

Shining chuckled loudly. "You're not the only one."

"Then why go again?"

"Just for good measure?" He joked, causing Rarity to shove him.

"I think all of the fluids you left inside of me was more than 'good measure'."

Rarity laid herself silently against Shining's chest as he stared blankly into the ceiling. Questions swirled around his mind as he thought about what he was going to do next. It was evident that there was no remorse for what he did with her, or at least that's what he kept telling himself.

"Have you ever known what it feels like to fall in love with the one you're not married to?"

Rarity curled her hoof into a small patch of fur on his chest as she gave her answer. "I wouldn't know that feeling, sir prince."

"Well... With Cadance, it feels as if my body and soul is present, but my heart is lost somewhere else. With you... well I can feel that everything is there."

"You sound as if you're sick."

"Sick of not being able to hear your moans and cries for me from the past few years."

His off-color remark was swiftly rewarded with a hoof pounding hard into his chest. "Pervert!"

"Ow!"

She replaced her hoof back to the small tuft of fur she was so fond of fondling. "Many seasons have came and went that I've cried out your name. This will be the first one that you'll cry out mine in return."

"I don't regret any second I've spent with you." He whispers quietly, giving her a tender peck below her horn.

"Me either." She tightened her grip on the stallion, sinking further into his chest. She heard the thumping waltz of his heartbeat softly gracing her ears.

"So, how do we... you know? Or did you say that as a spur-of-the-moment thing?" He asked, referring to the moment in their first session when she asked him to make her a mother. Rarity rose from the stallion's chest and looked directly into his eyes.

"...I want you, but I can't have you... unless you were serious about the annulment of your marriage."

Shining thought about it. It was still a choice that was heavy in it's burden. He could sacrifice everything he had worked hard to earn for the sake of a mare that continued to wait for him for many years of her life. It was true that Cadance was a virgin when he took her, but even then she held out for the stallion that interested her. But with Rarity, it was for him, and him alone. The dormant guilt of leaving Cadance alone was the single thing that caused a major conflict within him. In the end, it was what the two mares had offered that would ultimately be a deciding factor.

Cadance and Rarity both promised foals to him. It was a difficult decision, the mare who saved him on more than one occasion who opened her heart to him, or the young foal he used to look after, who had grown into a beautiful mare. He could easily admit to himself that he wanted the both of them, but in the end, he could only marry one.

But Rarity was already stumbling into a marriage to begin with. He knew that he was already betrothed to Cadance and offered to spend his life with her. He married her because he wanted her to be happy. He was very much satisfied with his relationship with Cadance, but deep down, he knew that they weren't going to last due to her status and her age. Furthermore, he grew concerned with one factor of their relationship.

The numerous times they've shared a bed and to this point, not a single hint of a foal was made present.

Cadance offered to give him foals once before, even trying to perform the act herself. But oddly enough, nothing came of their attempts, even months after she tried her best to do so. Rarity was the mare that could give him what he had longed to have for many years.

It was then, that his choice was made.

"I can only say this... You are the mare I want my family with."

Rarity's heart skipped a beat as Shining stared directly back at her. "So soon?" She mockingly asked.

"Hell, you've sold me since you started writing letters to me."

"Oh!" Rarity cooed joyfully, nuzzling up against the stallion, giving him an even tighter squeeze.

"I like how you snuggle."

"It's only because I love to snuggle."

Shining looked at the clock on the far side of the room. The time was a few minutes shy of seven in the evening. "Well, we've got a few days."

"And we will be sharing our dearest affection with one another, as well as the missed time, on those days." Rarity added, giving the stallion a passionate kiss on the lips.

"Sounds great to me." He whispered in a low tone.

"Sounds like you two are having a fun time."

Both Shining and Rarity jumped at the third voice in the room. They turned to the door to see a pink mare with long black streaks of mascara running down her cheeks and distorting around her eyes. She breathed heavily as she stood in the doorway, staring at the two ponies who lied in her bed, exchanging kisses.

"CADANCE!!!"

"PRINCESS!?!"

Cadance shook with anger. She caught her husband cheating on her only weeks after they've been married. She made sure that the only way out was through her as she shut the windows and sealed every last one with a magical spell. She spoke in a broken tone as she finished.

"I'm so sorry dear, for leaving you alone for twelve fucking seconds!"

Author's Note

Fun thing about the English language and it's grammatical guidelines, shit like this below actually makes sense.
"All the faith he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life."

Fucking English language.

Now... I'm going to say this. FINALLY, I'VE GOT TO THIS POINT OF THE STORY!

So that leaves the question of what Cadance will do now that she caught him red hoofed or at least she caught his dick that way. Stick around for the next chapter to find out.
