The Things we do for Love

“Uhh… Cady? We have a problem!” Shining called out as she inspected her armor. If being stuck as a mare wasn’t bad enough, it had also changed her body enough that her armor no longer fit her properly. If she had thought of this sooner, she wouldn’t have wasted so much time masturbating.

“Really, what makes you say that?” Cadence asked with a grin as he trotted out of the bathroom. He quailed under Shining’s unamused look. “Alright, alright, it was just a joke. What’s wrong?” He finished drying off his mane and tail and hung the towels back up with a flash from his horn.

“Look!” Shining held up her old chest piece and tossed it on her back. “See?! It doesn’t even fit me anymore! It’s like, two sizes too big!” She lit her horn and tossed it down beside her, kicking it aside as she pouted. She kept her gaze locked on the same place on the floor until she felt a warm, comforting wing wrap around her and pull her close to her lover. Only then did she look back up.

“Look, dear, I know we might be stuck for a while, so why don’t we have some fun with this?” Cadence asked, her tone hinting that she had an idea. “Might as well, right?”

Shining instantly picked up on that. With a wary smile, she looked up and asked, “What’d you have in mind?”

“Oh, I was thinking we could have a little fun with the guards…” he trailed off, barely able to contain his excitement. “Why don’t you wear my armor, and say that you’re their new temporary commander sent from Canterlot to see just how ready they are to serve and protect Equestria?”

“But don’t the troops already know what your armor looks like?” Shining asked as she laid her head on Cadence’s shoulder. “Wait…” She perked up, her heart beating faster and faster as a plan, one that could actually work, started to come together in her mind. “They’ve never seen your armor, right?” Cadence shook his head. “This can totally work! Quick, go get your armor!” She bounced in place from excitement. Maybe things aren’t going to turn out so bad after all…

It only took her a few minutes to get all of Cadence’s armor on. It fit her pretty well, save for the slots on the back for Cadance’s wings. The one thing she didn’t like much was the fact that the slot for her tail made it so that her marehood was always on display for anyone to see. Since the design of the armor was more for ceremonial purposes than for actual protection, Shining couldn’t do much about it, knowing all-too-well that the armor was meant to accentuate her curves and make her look sexy. She decided to forgo the helmet; it was already much too hot outside for her to wear it on top of everything else.

After making sure everything looked good in the mirror, she checked the clock and saw that she was now really late for the inspection. Well, I do help rule this place… What are they gonna do, fire me? “Alright, Cady, I’m, leaving!” she called out as she made her way to the front door. Her legs shook from nervousness and she considered not going, but she knew her duty.

Maybe I should have planned this a little better… Shining thought as she stood in front of their front door. Hearing her lover’s hoofsteps come closer, she turned around. “Uh, before we go, can we go over that spellbook one more time?” Shining asked, nervousness in her voice. The idea of playing a trick on the guards had been funny at first, but now that it was time to do it, her nervousness had gotten the better of her again. After all, she was still Shining Armor, just with a female body. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch for them to figure out who she really was, and she’d never be able to live it down. “M– maybe try the spell one more time before I go?”

Cadence silently stared at her for a few moments before nodding. “Alright dear, we can do that.” The two of them walked side by side in silence as they made their way into the library. As they neared the entrance, Cadence grinned slyly and opened a wing. Extending just a single feather, he used his magic to hold Shining’s tail to the side while he ran it up and down her lower lips before having it swatted away. He gave her a playful glare before nuzzling her just under her chin.

Walking into the library, Cadence saw that the book was still sitting just where he’d left it. He sat down on the cushion, leaving just enough space for Shining to sit down next to him. He leaned down over the book and took his time as he slowly started translating the last paragraph. Even though it took him a few minutes, Shining had kept silent the entire time, her head propped up on his shoulder.

“Find anything?” Shining finally asked, her voice barely louder than a whisper. “If I’m not pregnant, then why can’t we change back?”

“I’m… I don’t know,” Cadence replied with a sigh. He’d translated the last paragraph in the section and had even gone back over what he’d translated earlier, yet a solution had not appeared. “The book says that you can’t change back if you’re pregnant, and that’s it. You’d think it would give you a counterspell that would actually work, but it doesn’t.” He closed the book with a heavy sigh.

“Can you cast the spell just one more time?” Shining asked pleadingly.

“I guess it couldn’t hurt,” Although if it didn’t work before, I don’t know why it would now, he thought in slight annoyance. He pulled Shining close with a wing and lit his horn, letting the spell’s magic surround them in a brief display of swirling power. Cadence fed as much power into the spell as he dared, smiling as he felt it caress and run over his sheath. Biting back a moan, he looked over at his lover and saw that she was in a similar state of bliss. A few moments passed before the spell ended, and when it did, Cadence opened his eyes and examined himself.

“Well, since it looks like I still have a dick and balls, I don’t think it worked,” he said with a slight chuckle. Standing up, he laid a small kiss on Shining’s cheek. “Come on dear, you really need to get going.” He walked to the entrance of the library and looked back over his shoulder when he didn’t hear Shining behind him. “You coming, Shiny?”

Shining didn’t respond at first, for all of her attention was on her vagina. She’d never felt so horny in her life, and on top of that, her marehood was begging to be stuffed full of something. Whether it was a bedpost or her lover’s cock, she just needed to be filled now.

Shining turned around and lowered her eyelids. Her tail flicking from side to side and with her voice dripping with lust, she stood up and stalked towards Cadence, saying, “Hmm… I’d like to…” She nuzzled his neck affectionately, using her tail to waft her arousing scent towards him. The way her tail was being held up was starting to drive her a little nuts. That wasn’t the only thing on her mind. In addition to her mind being riddled with anxiety about her current situation, the thought of her soldiers checking her out got her a little excited. She felt her lower lips start to swell up, but she was quickly distracted from that line of thought when Cadence laid a gentle kiss just under her ear. Shining rolled her eyes at Cadence’s obliviousness, and wondered if she had ever felt that way about him in the past.

“Hey, if you’re still nervous about getting seen as the sexy mare you are… I can change our coat colors and cutie marks! On top of that, I’ll hide my wings. That way, nopony will figure out who we really are!” Cadence said, strapping a saddlebag to his back. Shining saw him stuff a couple of things inside it, but was unable to see exactly what they were. “How about this: if anyone asks about us, our story will be that we help clean the castle. Your cutie mark will be a wet bucket because you found your special talent in mopping, and my cutie mark will be that of a feather duster, showing that I found my special talent in cleaning!” He tightened the saddlebag’s strap around his midsection before saying, “So, what color would you like to change your coat color?”

Shining sat back for a few moments as she thought. “I don’t know… This is only for when we go outside our quarters, right?” Cadence nodded at her. “Alright then… How about a light brown color? And since you got to choose our cutie marks, I think you should be… green!”

“That can work…” Cadence said with a chuckle. He lit his horn, focusing his magic on himself first. He felt his magic surround his wings and cloak them. Cadence didn’t want to turn himself into a pegasus, especially given their current situation. Next, he let that spell die away before casting the next one. This spell soaked into his coat, making him shiver just for a couple of brief moments as it felt like somepony was tickling him, and then before he knew it, the spell was complete. He looked himself over, smiling when he saw everything was how it should be then looked over at Shining. “Ready?”

“As ready as I’ll ever be…” she muttered before nodding, giving Cadence the go-ahead. She closed her eyes as she felt her lover’s familiar magic flow over her coat, a feeling that she’d come to love and cherish. Usually, unicorns were wary of letting anyone else cast a spell on them, but she knew she could trust Cadence implicitly. Several moments later, Shining heard Cadence’s magic fade away, so she opened her eyes. Raising a hoof, she saw that instead of being white, she had a beautiful brown coat. Standing up, she looked behind her and saw that instead of the cutie mark she used to wear with pride, a lone bucket filled with white water sat in its place.

“So… now that we no longer look like ourselves, I’ve got something fun for you to wear while you address the troops, but I’ll show you that a little bit later…” He gave Shining a sly smile before he trotted away. Without a moment’s hesitation, he threw open the front door and looked back. “Come on, slowpoke!”

“Yeah, yeah, alright,” she replied as she walked past him.

Cadence’s eyes widened as a highly alluring smell filled his nose. Looking down, he saw that Shining’s puffy lips were swollen and moist with arousal. As Shining started walking down the hallway, he noticed that her gait was very similar to how he tended to walk when he was in heat. He smiled as he watched Shining try to keep her butt cheeks from rubbing against her slit, knowing full well that it would tease her to greater levels of frustration. That spell must have accelerated her heat cycle somehow. No matter, time to have a little fun with her...

Looking forward down the empty hallway, Shining said, “Now, who’s waiting on–AH!” She suddenly gasped and looked back as she felt somepony’s muzzle dive into her moist folds. After feeling Cadence’s wide, strong tongue swipe up and down in between her lips, she nearly cried out in pleasure as she felt him lick her vagina as deeply as he could. Thankfully, nopony else was in the hallway. Even though she wanted to give in to the pleasure, Shining regretfully pulled herself away, her arousal shining on her lover’s muzzle.

“You know you want it,” Cadence’s voice rumbled from behind her. He pushed her up against the wall with just enough force to keep her pinned, then gave her ear a small nibble. “I want to make you scream, especially after you wouldn’t let me cum…” he moaned into her ear. Extending a wing, he began to massage Shining’s slit with the tip of it, making her moan and squirm against him. “Want to have some more fun before you go?”

“Wha… not out in the hallway! Somepony could find us...” Shining moaned. “We don’t have time to fuck–ah…” she moaned as Cadence started kissing her neck, his soft lips leaving her fur tingling. Shining almost wanted Cadence to rut her right here in the middle of the hallway, but her duty to her soldiers prevailed over her lust-ridden mind. “I’m sorry, but we really need to go.” Lowering her voice a little, she nuzzled his neck. “I promise I’ll take care of you tonight, Cadence, and I’ll make you feel like the big, sexy stallion you really are… Deal?” she asked, looking up into Cadence’s eyes with a small smile.

Cadence took a few moments before he begrudgingly responded. “...Deal.” He stepped back, using his magic to straighten Shining’s armor.

“Great,” Shining said, planting a small kiss on his lips. She turned and started walking down the hallway, Cadence trotting to catch up to her.

“So listen, I was thinking about watching you from the main balcony; the one right before the stairs to go outside, alright?” Cadence lit his horn and pulled out a small, round object no wider than a single feather. “Also, remember how I wanted you to wear something while you dealt with the troops?”

“Yeah?”

“Well, this is it,” he said, holding the device up for Shining to see. “It’s a magically-controlled vibrator, and you’re gonna be a good mare and wear it for me, okay?” With a chuckle, he fed a small amount of power into the device, smiling as he watched Shining’s eyes widen as the device started to vibrate madly in his magical grasp.

“And what if I say no?” Shining asked with a giggle as they rounded the corner. They still had to go down a few flights of stairs before they reached the balcony that Cadence would watch from, and she still had another flight of stairs after that. Upon seeing Cadence’s face fall, she nudged his shoulder with her own, saying, “I’m just kidding. I’ll give it a shot, just for you. Just take it easy with me, alright? I don’t want to have an orgasm in front of everypony.”

She looked around for a few moments, trying to find a place for them to have a little privacy to insert the egg. Thankfully, she saw a small wooden door near the end of the hallway, so the two of them quickly made their way there. As they neared the door, Shining lit her horn and pulled it open. “Ugh, a broom closet?” she asked herself, right before Cadence pushed her inside.

“Heh, somepony getting horny?” Cadence asked as he slowly levitated the still-vibrating egg around to Shining’s rear. He pressed it up against her slit and wiggled it back and forth, making Shining moan softly. “Ready?” he asked as he lifted a feather, making her stop. When she nodded, he paused, listening to make sure nobody was around, then applied more and more pressure on Shining’s entrance until the egg spread her labia just enough for it to slide inside her.

With a sly grin, Cadence pushed the egg a few more inches inside her, stopping on what he hoped was her G-spot. He fed more energy into the egg, making Shining cry out in bliss. As her hind legs started trembling, he couldn’t help but noticed a single droplet of her juices slip out of her slit, making a small, shining trail down her inner thigh. Not wanting to let it go to waste, he pushed her tail aside with his magic and stopped the droplet in its path with his tongue. Licking all the way back up to its source, he pushed the egg as far as he could inside Shining and latched his lips around her entrance. He started sucking ever-so-softly, using his magic to keep the egg lodged firmly in place as he slurped up Shining’s juices.

“Ah! Cadence, that feels… so… so…” Shining trailed off, panting. Her legs threatening to collapse from the pleasure, she bent down, keeping her hind legs locked in place as her lover serviced her. As she felt her orgasm build up inside her at an incredible pace, she felt so naughty, knowing full well that they could be discovered at any moment. Just the thought that they could get caught doing something so dirty nearly pushed her over the edge, but she held on, wanting to prolong her pleasure.

Cadence slowed his tongue, pulling it back to lap at Shining’s swollen clit. He knew that Shining was teetering near the edge, but he wanted to hear her beg. “You want me to make you cum, Shining?” he asked in between licks, alternating between running his tongue between her swollen lips and her love bead. “I know you want to. I can feel the need inside you…”

“Yes, please!” Shining begged, thrusting her hips back. She clenched down on the egg inside her, hoping to tip her over the edge. Alas, it was not enough. Cadence knew exactly what he was doing, and Shining knew that he wouldn’t let her cum if he didn’t want her to. “Come on, I’m sorry for earlier; just please let me cum!”

Instead of replying, Cadence lit his horn and set the egg on its highest setting. Keeping his horn lit, he pulled the egg back until it was sitting right up against her G-spot, and then he pressed it down against that spot, rubbing it back and forth over and over. Hearing his lover’s moans rise in volume, he latched his lips over her entrance and sent his tongue as deep as it could go, just barely brushing against the egg inside her.

Moments later, Shining came. Her front legs collapsing, she was just barely able to keep her hind legs from collapsing as well, but that was most likely because Cadence was holding them up. She felt her pussy clamp and unclamp on the egg over and over as if it was trying to milk a stallion’s cock for its seed. As her body was thrown into wave after wave of bliss, she bit down on a hoof as she tried to quiet her moans.

As Shining came, Cadence never stopped licking, keeping his tongue active all the while, especially when she started squirting right into his mouth. The way he had his lips locked onto her marehood made it so that he didn’t miss a single drop of her sweet juices, and when her moans started to quiet, he let go of her, giving her slit a slow slurp from the bottom to the top before kissing her throbbing clitoris.

“How was that, Shiny?” Cadence asked gently, rubbing Shining’s cutie marks. “You like that?”

“Oh Celestia, yes…” Shining panted, shakily pushing herself up to sit. “I loved that…”

“I’m glad to hear that, because I’m going to keep you fully aroused all throughout the time you deal with the troops,” he growled into her ear, giving her a smile as he used his magic to push the egg all the way back inside of her. “Think of it as revenge for what you did to me earlier…”

Shining shook her head and pushed him away, making him take a step back. “Cadence... is this just a game to you?” she asked as her arousal slowly but surely started fading away, though the egg's vibrations started to make her feel funny again. "We could be stuck like this for who knows how long, and yet you find it funny to sexually tease me!"

"I, er-"

"And on top of that, you've made me really late for the troop inspection!" she said, trying her hardest to keep her voice down. "And on top of that, I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to change our coat colors. Like, come on! Nopony's gonna recognize us just because we just so happen to have the same coat colors, and... and I..." she trailed off, noticing that Cadence was frowning. In fact, he wasn't even looking at her anymore. And if she wasn't mistaken, she saw hints of a tear forming in her lover's eye. "H-hey... Cady?" she asked, her voice devoid of the anger it once held.

A small sob broke from Cadence's lips. "I'm sorry, Shining... I don't know what's happening. I'm sure you're scared as much as I am, and I'm just trying to keep your mind off of all of this... I just didn't know what to do anymore..."

Shining pulled her lover into a hug, rubbing her back with a hoof. "There, there," she whispered, smiling as she heard Cadence's sniffles die down fairly quickly. The egg still hummed away inside her, but she paid that no mind. "We'll figure it out... I do have to admit, trying to keep my mind off of all of this with sex was a pretty good idea..."

"R... really?"

"Well, duh! It worked, didn't it? And I never thought I would say this, but I couldn't stop thinking about your cock." A small shudder ran down her back, but she pushed that feeling away. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. "Hey, Cadence?"

"Mhm?" Cadence asked, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"What if we don't hide this from everyone?" Shining asked, smiling as she saw Cadence cock his head to the side. "Yeah, what's the problem if someone finds us as opposite genders? I mean, sure, it'd be kinda jarring at first, but they'd get used to it... right?" She took a moment to reassure herself. "Right! For real though, you're the princess of love! If anypony asked, you could literally tell them you're exploring different avenues of love with your husband, or... wife, at the moment, and they wouldn't think twice about it!"

"I... I suppose..." Cadence murmured, deep in thought. "And we wouldn't need to change our cutie marks either, right? We could just keep the ones we earned..." He chuckled to himself. "Oh well... I kinda liked giving you a cumbucket for a cutie mark."

"Wait, that's what that was?" Shining asked with a grin, feigning shock. She looked down at her cutie mark and giggled. "Hehe, I guess it does kinda look like a cumbucket."

"Hey dear?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did it take several orgasms and a quickie in the broom closet down the hall for us to come to our senses?"

"...I have no idea."

Cadence chuckled. "C'mere, you!" He pulled Shining into a hug, nuzzling her cheek all the while. "You know I love you, and that I'll stop at nothing to get us back to normal, but..."

"What?"

"Please try to enjoy this as much as I am. I'm actually having fun living life as a stallion, and I'm sure you're at least liking being a mare a little bit... right?"

Shining blushed, and she tried to hide that from her lover. "...Yeah, kinda."

"Hehe, thought so..." Cadence said, nuzzling Shining's cheek once more. Once he was done, he laid a small kiss on the tip of her muzzle, lit his horn, and changed them back to their original colors and cutie marks. "There, now we're back to normal... Well, as normal as we can get in this situation." He let go of Shining and placed his ear against the door. "I... don't hear anypony out there, so I think now's a good time to head out. The troops are waiting after all!" he said with a cute chuckle.

"Yeah, but instead of seeing their commanding officer, they get to see a mare on the verge of going into heat and wearing a set of armor that makes me look sexy," Shining joked. "So..."

"So what?"

"What should we do with this egg still vibrating in my pussy?" Shining asked, shaking her flank at Cadence. "Are we gonna take it out for the inspection, or are we gonna..." she trailed off, her tone sounding rather hopeful. Her butt cheeks were rather damp with the juices she was sitting in, though a quick spell would easily fix that.

Cadence smiled smugly at her. "If you want to, we can keep it in," Cadence replied, giving Shining a small vibrating burst from the egg, teasing her and arousing her even more. “Now come on, let’s get you to that troop inspection! I'll be up on that balcony watching your every move...”

Shining gulped.
