The Things we do for Love

Cadence slowly woke up, his wing still draped over Shining’s feminine form. He slowly lifted his feathery appendage and cracked his eyes open, smiling gently as his gaze fell upon the beautiful and precious mare sleeping contentedly in his embrace. As he watched, his vision focused serenely on her chest rising and falling with each small breath. After contenting himself with this warm scene, Cadence smiled and shifted under the covers, trying to find a more comfortable position but stopped when he felt something hard pressed between his lower barrel and Shining’s back.

Confused, he lifted the sheets with a hoof and discovered that he had a strong case of morning wood, as Shining usually called it. Still feeling a little sleepy, Cadence shrugged and pulled the sheets back up over his shoulders, intent on falling back to sleep. He figured that if he didn’t play with himself it would just go away on its own.

Snuggling closer to the warmth of the mare, Cadence gave a small gasp when his hardened length rubbed between their soft fur, sending an unexpected wave of pleasure through his loins. When the feeling passed a few moments later, he laid his wing back over the white mare and pulled her into his embrace. He laid a hoof over her soft barrel, smiling happily as he felt Shining unconsciously pull it to her soft chest.

Praying that sleep would overtake him once more, he closed his eyes as he relished Shining’s warmth. Yet as he tried to go back to sleep, memories of what they did last night flowed through his mind, making his boner twitch against Shining’s super soft back. As the scene of them cumming together in blissful harmony flowed through his mind, Cadence groaned quietly as he finally admitted that there was no way that he was going to fall back to sleep. He had to take care of his little problem and he knew of only one surefire way to do that.

Lust slowly creeping up on his mind, Cadence moaned softly as he pushed his hips forward, rubbing his length between the two of them. Feeling his stallionhood leave a small trail of precum on the sleeping mare’s back, he pulled back and thrust forward a little harder. He couldn’t help but moan as his dick slid between the two of them, their unimaginably soft fur caressing the sensitive head from both sides. Each push encased his stallionhood in a raving rush of silky pleasure, and each pull worked all to well in trying to milk out his seed. Finally, lost in the heat of the moment, he lost control and thrusted particularly hard, rousing the sleeping unicorn.

Shining yawned softly, stretching as she slowly woke up in her lover’s embrace. She cracked her eyes open, groaning in discomfort and annoyance as the morning sun’s light blinded her briefly.

“Hey dear… sleep well?” Cadence asked softly, nipping his lover’s ear teasingly, feeling a little guilty that he had woken her.

“Mmm… yeah, you could say that…” Shining’s soft feminine voice replied. She pushed herself further into Cadence’s embrace, smiling happily as she felt Cadence intertwine his hind legs with hers. As Cadence pulled her against his body, she felt something hard press up against her back. Shining chuckled, knowing exactly what it was. “Hehe, is that a strong case of morning wood I feel, or are you just happy to see me?”

“Well, I guess you could say both,” Cadence responded with a nervous chuckle, giving Shining a quick peck on the cheek. “I’d really appreciate some help…”

“Yeah? Well, lucky for you, I know just how we can fix your little ‘problem’…” With a sly grin, Shining slid under the covers and positioned herself between the pink stallion’s legs. She tenderly pried them apart, revealing Cadence’s hard stallionhood. As she stared in awe at Cadence’s throbbing, twitching length, thoughts of what she was about to do might be construed as “gay” and “wrong” popped into her mind, but the desire to please her lover quickly pushed those notions down.

Slowly and lovingly taking the tip of her lover’s stallionhood into her mouth, she swirled her tongue around the head, teasing the small hole in the center. Cadence bucked his hips forward at this powerful sensation, causing Shining to grin. Closing her eyes, she started bobbing her head up and down, making Cadence’s cock poke against the back of her throat over and over. Trying to imitate Cadence’s mastery of the service, she let her tongue massage the underside of her lover’s cock and gently sucked as she pushed down. Rolling her wet tongue around the length, she spread her saliva all over it, knowing that it would add a little spice to the already unbearable bliss.

As Cadence’s throaty moans grew louder and louder, Shining knew it was time to take things to the next level. Taking a deep breath, she slowly pushed her head down until her lover’s length was at the entrance to her throat. Shining quelled her gag reflex and swallowed as she shoved her head down at the same time. As the warm cock slid down into her throat, she smiled and bobbed her head, working the thick stallionhood inside her. She desperately wanted to take the entire thing, so she pushed forward and moaned softly as her muzzle met the base of the thick cock.

All the while, Cadence bucked his hips back and forth, panting with ecstasy. The fact that his lover was doing such a good job of pleasing him was more than a satisfying feeling. A small trickle of wetness running down Shining’s leg signaled that she was also enjoying this.

Bobbing her head back and forth a few inches, Shining opened her eyes and saw her lover’s twitching balls sitting right in front of her, just begging to be played with. She tried to poke her tongue out and give them a good licking, but they were just too far away. Lighting her horn, she enveloped the life-giving orbs with her magic and gently massaged them, making Cadence groan from the new sensation.

“Shining, I’m… I’m so close…” Cadence groaned as he felt his orgasm grow. He knew that he’d be sending his hot load right into Shining’s stomach in moments if she kept up what she was doing. Seconds later, just as he was teetering on the brink, he heard the front door to their chambers open.

He froze, fearing that they were going to get caught in one of the most kinkiest acts of sex one could imagine. Oh, what would everypony think of them if they heard that their beloved leaders were sex-crazed ponies? Nopony would ever let them live it down.

Seconds later, he heard the familiar chatter of the maids as they walked in, starting their usual morning duties, which, unfortunately included changing the sheets. He glanced at the small clock hanging from the wall and noticed that they had slept in much longer than usual, over an hour!

“Shining!” he whispered urgently, the pressure in his balls reaching an unbearable level, begging for release. “Shining, the maids are going to be here any se– ohhh...” He groaned softly and tossed his head back as the white mare started running her soft, velvety tongue along the underside of his stallionhood, keeping him perfectly balanced on the edge. Literally anything would make him unload inside Shining’s tight, hot throat, and he was just about to start thrusting again when the door to their bedroom suddenly cracked open.

“Um, hello? Is somepony still in here?” one of the maids asked hesitantly, poking her head through the door, making sure to keep her gaze locked on the floor.

“Yea-” Cadence started to say in his new deep, masculine voice, but he quickly realized that the maids would know something was up. Clearing his throat, he spoke a couple octaves higher, trying to imitate his old, feminine voice. “Yes, Plum Rose, Shining and I decided to sleep in this morning. Our duties kept us both up late last night.”

“Of course, m’lady. We’ll be back to change the sheets in a couple hours, then. Will that be ample time for you?”

As Shining listened to the maids talk to her lover, she smiled deviously and started sucking ever so softly, all while running her tongue all around Cadence’s hard shaft still lodged deep inside her throat.

“I’m sure that… Nnng...” Cadence trailed off as he almost came. He grit his teeth and continued. “…I’m sure that will be enough, thank you. You are dismissed,” Cadence replied, struggling to keep his voice as high and feminine as possible.

“Thank you kindly, m’lady,” Plum Rose replied as she quietly shut the bedroom door. Shining waited until she heard the front door to their chambers close and then increased her efforts threefold. She bobbed her head up and down on her lover’s hard, twitching length and sucked as hard as she could. Pulling back until Cadence’s length popped out of her throat, she swirled her tongue all over his head, trying to coax his tasty love seed from him. She extended a hoof and made small circles around his plot hole, just the way he liked.

“Shining, I– I’m cumming!” Cadence yelled out as he shot his first load of several into his lover’s awaiting mouth.

The first burst of cum completely filled Shining’s mouth, making her eyes widen in surprise. She quickly swallowed most of it in one gulp, not wanting to waste even a precious drop of the tasty seed. Shining pushed herself down on Cadence’s spasming cock once more, swallowing his length along with the rest of the cum in her mouth all in one go. As she reached the halfway mark, she felt Cadence unleash another load, painting the insides of her throat white with his cum. Using it as a makeshift lube, Shining managed to push the last several inches of Cadence’s spasming cock down her throat. As she reached the base, she hummed contentedly as she felt the pink stallion pump her stomach full with his load.

Several seconds and four more powerful shots later, Cadence finally stopped cumming. As the pink stallion flopped back down on the pillows, relishing the afterglow of his orgasm, Shining slid her lover’s length almost all the way out until just the head remained in her warm mouth. She started sucking it like it was her mother’s teat, cleaning all of the cum from Cadence’s softening stallionhood. As she swallowed the last drop, she let the cock slip out of her mouth and fall to the sheets. Nuzzling the pink stallion just under the muzzle affectionately, she sexily asked, “Better, my love?”

“Oh yeah… much better…” Cadence moaned happily with a satisfied smile, thoroughly enraptured in his post-orgasm bliss.

“Mmm… I’ll bet. Anyways, I think we should get up now,” Shining murmured, sliding out of bed. She turned around and giggled as she saw the mess that they had created the previous night. The sheets were soaked through with both of their love juices and the distinct smell of sex hung in the air. It was a wonder how the maids didn’t smell it before, and if they did, she was glad that they had the common sense not to say anything about it.

“But what about you? You made me cum, it’s only fair that I make you cum as well,” Cadence said as he sat up. He flared his horn as he gently massaged himself with his magic, preparing for round two.

“Oh, I want to rut you this time,” Shining let her voice drop into a sultry tone as she batted her eyes at her stallion. “As much as I liked you rutting me, stuffing me completely full…” She shuddered as she remembered her explosive orgasm from the night before. “I think it’s time for a real stallion to show you how it’s done…”

“Oh, that sounds like fun...” Cadence said as he slid out of bed, making his way to sit beside Shining. As he prepared to cast the spell, he felt a small pang of regret. He absolutely loved what they had done in the past several hours and he didn’t want it to end so soon. “Umm… Shining?”

“Yeah?”

“Would you… would you want to do this again sometime?” Cadence asked nervously, flicking his mane out of his eyes.

“Of course! This was definitely something new, and…” Shining leaned forward until her muzzle was mere centimeters away from Cadence’s twitching ear, and she softly and lovingly whispered, “I’d love to do this again…”

Overjoyed, Cadence pulled Shining into a brief kiss, their tongues dancing a brief bout of passion. Cadence could have sworn that he tasted his seed in Shining’s mouth, but that didn’t bother him in the slightest, he actually found it kind of hot. Seconds later, he pulled away, a small string of saliva connecting their lips.

“Shining… thanks, for everything. I guess it’s time…” Cadence sighed, relishing his last few moments as a stallion.

Shining saw the dejected look on her lover’s face, so she said, “Hey, cheer up! After we finish our duties today, we can totally do this again tonight!”

“Really? You mean that?”

“Heck yeah! I’d give anything to do this again,” Shining said happily, her tail swishing back and forth behind her, showing her enthusiasm.

“That’s really nice to hear, dear,” Cadence said as he returned his lover’s nuzzle. Pulling back a few seconds later, he lit his horn and said, “Here goes nothing!” He touched the tip of his horn to Shining’s and cast the spell. His blue magic surrounded them in a small whirlwind just like before, and several seconds later, it disappeared with a small pop.

Shining didn’t feel any different, so she hesitantly glanced into the mirror and saw a stunning mare staring right back at her. “Uhh… Cadence? It… it didn’t work,” she nervously stuttered, worry starting to take a hold of her.

“Yeah, I know. Let me try it again.” Cadence bowed her head in concentration and cast the spell again. Just like before, another whirlwind of blue magic surrounded the two of them, but as it disappeared, they were left as they were before.

They were stuck.

“What do you mean you don’t know what’s wrong?!” Shining yelled, her high-pitched voice echoing throughout the vaulted ceilings in their bedroom.

“Oh Shining, you’re so cute when you’re angry,” Cadence said with a slight chuckle. When Shining didn’t respond, she continued in a more serious tone, “I honestly don’t know why I can’t change us back. I learned this spell from an Ancient Equestrian book of love, and I had to translate the text from an obscure dialect. I understand it… umm, mostly. There were just a few paragraphs that I couldn’t figure out.”

“You didn’t understand a few PARAGRAPHS?! Why the hay would you even consider using the spell if you didn’t understand it completely?” Shining stared wide eyed at the pink alicorn, her small chest heaving with each heavy breath she took.

“I got the basics of it, didn’t I? And you have to admit, we did have a lot of fun last night.”

“Well… yeah, we did,” Shining said with a slight grin, thinking of last night. Shaking her head, she continued, “But still, what’s everypony going to think when they see us as… us?” she asked in fear. “What will my troops think of me when they see me as a mare?”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that, dear. Come on, I’ll go try to finish translating those last few paragraphs, okay?” Cadence asked, pulling his mare under his wing, giving her a reassuring nuzzle. After a few seconds, he released Shining and stood up. Motioning for Shining to follow him, they walked out of the bedroom and out into the hallway, winding their way into their grand personal library.

Floor to ceiling crystal shelves lined the entire room, save for the large, two story bay window at the other end. The window provided the viewer, which often was only the ruler of the Empire and their mate, with a beautiful view of their city. There were only a couple tables in the room, with the largest of the two centered in front of the window. Hehe, Twilight could spend weeks in here if she knew about this place… Cadence thought as he trotted inside. Walking straight towards the main table, he felt relieved as he saw the book that he learned the spell from laying undisturbed from its position on the table.

Sitting down on the comfy silk cushions, he peered down at the book, flipping back a couple pages until he found the beginning of the section. Looking about, he quickly levitated a dictionary and a lexicon to himself to use as references. Shifting around to get more comfortable, he asked, “Hey, why don’t you go jump in the shower real quick? I’m pretty sure that I’ll be done by the time you come back.”

“O– Ok,” Shining said as she stopped pacing back and forth behind the pink stallion. Leaving him to his work, she trotted out of their library and into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, back in the library, Cadence was struggling to translate the few paragraphs that she hadn’t bothered to work on. The paragraphs that she had been able to translate had been easy to figure out, as they were just other “things” you can add on to spice up the fun in the sack. Cadence glared down at the word centered above the last paragraph in hatred. Ugh! Why does this have to be so hard? he thought as he ran a hoof over his eyes in exasperation. He glanced down at the other open books of phrases and flipped to the next page, staring at its contents. Seconds later, his eyes fell upon a word that he had been desperately searching for, and dread and apprehension suddenly gripped his heart.

Warning.

“Oh please please pleeeease no…” Cadence muttered nervously, instantly switching back to the other book. Warning! she read. Genders cannot be switched back to the originals if one of the two is impr...

“Impr… what?” Cadence asked to nopony in particular. He looked back and forth between the two books, transliterating the word letter by letter. “...imp… impr… impre… impreg–” Cadence’s heart stopped as his mind suddenly finished the word for him. I have to be sure, I have to be sure… He continued to finish translating the word, and much to his disappointment and horror, the word sat before him, written neatly on the scroll laying in front of him.

Impregnated.

Even though there were still several untranslated sentences left in the paragraph, Cadence felt that it wasn’t necessary to finish them, knowing exactly why Shining couldn’t be turned back. He read the sentence again to be completely sure, but the word stubbornly remained the same. But how? She isn’t even in heat! There’s no way that the spell took that part out of the equation… can it?

Moments later, Shining trotted back inside the library, feeling much more refreshed. “Hey Cady, you figure this thing out yet?” When he didn’t respond, Shining grew a little apprehensive. She trotted beside her lover and prodded him with a hoof, trying to break the stallion out of his reverie. “Cadence? Honey, talk to me, what’s wrong?”

“...You–” Cadence cleared his throat a little too loudly. “You’re…”

“I’m what?” Shining asked, hesitation and fear creeping into her voice, fearing what Cadence was about to say. Her tail flicked about nervously as she waited for her lover to finish.

“Shining, dear, this may come as a shock to you... You’re… you might be...” Cadence took a deep breath, calming his nerves for the imminent shitstorm. “...pregnant.”

Shining took a second to let Cadence’s sentence sink in fully. Pregnant… I might be... pregnant? A fit of rage took ahold of her and she yelled, “What?! Pregnant?!”

“Shining, calm down! Somepony might hear you!” Cadence said worriedly, trying his best trying to calm the frenzied mare down.

“Calm down? CALM DOWN?!” Shining yelled furiously. “How can you tell me to calm down?! I might be PREGNANT!” She paced back and forth nervously, shaking her head all the while. “This can’t be happening! I can’t be pregnant!” She stopped in front of Cadence, sat down, and looked him dead in the eye. “Are you completely sure?”

“Well… to be honest, no,” Cadence replied a little uneasily. She’d never expected to hear something like that before. "Only time will tell."

“Well, this is just great…” Shining muttered sarcastically, her shoulders slumping in defeat. She slowly stood up and started walking out of the library.

“Wait, where are you going?” Cadence asked in concern, hoping that she wasn’t about to do something rash.

“I’m going back to bed! Maybe this is all just one huge nightmare!” Shining’s feminine voice called from the bedroom, the door slamming shut a moment later.

With a sigh, Cadence stood up and made his way through the hallways until he reached their bedroom. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard a light sobbing coming from inside. Oh no… He quietly opened the door, his gaze falling upon the distraught mare spread out upon the bed. Walking ever so softly, Cadence quickly made his way over to the bed and climbed on top of it, laying next to his distressed mate.

“There, there…” Cadence said softly, nuzzling Shining’s cheek. He laid a wing over her and pulled the white mare to his side. He bent down and kissed Shining on the cheek. “We can get through this, Shining, together. I love you. Nothing and nopony can nor ever will change that.”

“I– I know…” Shining choked out, each and every one of her light sobs piercing Cadence’s heart. If there was anything that Cadence hated, it was seeing anypony in such distress, especially from somepony so close to him. “It’s just that… that I’m expected down at the barracks in an hour to do troop inspections! What will they think when they see their tough, brave commander as a mare?! She spat the word out with distaste.

“Your troops will see a beautiful, stunning mare, one that they would sacrifice anything for just to get in bed with,” Cadence teased the white mare in an effort to cheer her up. He booped her playfully with his muzzle, eliciting a slight chuckle from her. “Too bad for them, though, because you’re all mine…”
