Split Ends

Shining Armor was certain that he'd gotten away with it.

And honestly, he had no reason not to be. He had taken precautions to keep himself safe. The locked door, the bath alibi, the timing...it had all worked together to form the perfect crime. Not that what he did was a crime—crimes, as far as he knew, never felt that mind-blowingly good. But it was still something that he knew he'd catch more than a little bit of flak over if Cadence had caught him. Thankfully, as far as he knew, he'd gotten away scot-free.

Cadence, meanwhile, was waiting for the perfect time to strike. In some ways, she was more like her sister-in-law than she realized. In certain situations, perfection was everything. A rookie would have burst in just before Shining climaxed. An amateur would have been waiting outside the door. A professional would have brought it up while they were playing board games that night. But a master would have saved it for exactly the time that Cadence was saving it for.

After a particularly rousing board game night, which saw Shining win at Dominion for the first time in what felt like ages, the two decided to hit the hay early. It had been a long, strange day for the two of them, and bed seemed like the best option. Shining hummed to himself as he headed to the bedroom. He idly wondered why Twilight hadn't shown up to fix things yet. Twilight was nothing if not prompt, and taking care of a mishap she'd caused to two of the most important ponies in her life seemed like something that she wouldn't dilly-dally on. He decided not to worry about it too much. Twilight would be here to fix things soon. If she still wasn't here by tomorrow night, then he would start worrying.

Shining felt an odd sense of foreboding as he went to open the bedroom door. It was an odd, persistent feeling that he couldn't seem to shake, nor could he place why he was feeling it. Other than the obvious issue of the partial body swap, he couldn't think of a single thing that he should have been worried about. Even his issues with Cadence seemed to be getting better, as the two were getting along better today than they had in weeks. And yet this foreboding feeling just wouldn't go away, ever-vigilant in its effect on Shining's nerves. He figured it had to be some false feeling as he opened the bedroom door. As it turned out, that feeling was present for good reason.

Shining stared in disbelief at the sight that laid before his eyes. There was Cadence, wearing the strangest mishmosh of lingerie he had ever seen. The half of her that was still soft and pink was wearing the top of his favorite black lace ensemble. Meanwhile, her bottom half was wearing a set of his boxers, and he couldn't help but notice a tent beginning to form in them.

"...Honey?" Shining asked nervously.

"What do you think?" Cadence asked with a grin. "I tried to look my best under the circumstances."

Shining bit his lip as he stared at his wife. It was obviously no secret that he was rather attracted to her. She was a gorgeous princess of love, stunning in both her physical and personal beauties. The most alluring pony he'd ever had the pleasure of knowing. The way she poised herself, she somehow even managed to make his own lower half look good to him. His brain wasn't quite sure how it felt about that last part.

"Do you know what day it is?" Cadence asked, letting that tiny hint of seduction sneak into her voice; the hint that she knew drove her husband mad.

And "mad" was a rather appropriate way to describe Shining at that moment, although thankfully not in the sense of anger. For Shining knew exactly what day it was, and even if he hadn't, the tiny sensual growl to Cadence's voice would have given it away. That tiny sensual growl that was always able to wriggle its way into his mind and fill it with dirty thoughts. Even in this state, it was doing its job perfectly. Shining felt an odd, warm feeling in his nethers; a desire that was longing to be satiated. Still, all things considered, he felt like he needed to resist.

"Cadence..." Shining began.

"I know what you're going to say," Cadence interrupted, slinking up to him. "And don't bother. I know how much you want to explore these new feelings." She licked her lips, going in for the kill. "I bet it'll be better than a showerhead."

Shining thanked his lucky stars for the fact that his coat was already a pristine white. Had his coat been any other color, his face would have surrendered that pigmentation upon hearing that he'd been caught.

"Y...you know about that...?" Shining stammered.

"Mhm," Cadence replied, relishing in the look on her husband's face. "And I don't think that's very fair."

"What do you mean...?" Shining asked, not sure if he wanted to hear the answer.

"I mean it's not fair that you experimented without me," Cadence whispered into his ear. Shining gulped as the weight of Cadence's words settled upon him, and from the way she was hanging on him, there was a different, more physical weight that she wished to settle upon him as well. Shining tried to reply, but couldn't manage more than a squeak. His patterns of thought were becoming increasingly clouded by the dull heat he was starting to feel between his haunches. He always knew that he couldn't resist Cadence even if he wanted to, and the fact that she was still able to seduce him just as easily proved that more than ever.

"Come on, Shiny," Cadence purred in his ear. "You're still attracted to me even like this, aren't you?"

Shining's nod was instinctual and instantaneous. It only took a look into her eyes to confirm it. She was still his lovely wife, no matter what parts she had down there.

"I thought so," Cadence said with a smile. "And I'm still very much attracted to you, as you can see." Shining followed Cadence's gaze down to her erection, which was already threatening to breach the boundaries of the boxers she was wearing. His erection. Cadence took this moment to bring herself up and wrap her forelegs around Shining, engaging him in a deep kiss. Shining was more than happy to return the kiss, his tongue exploring his wife's familiar mouth. He was so in love with her that even a simple kiss could arouse him, and the dull warmth between his hind legs was starting to give way to a burning desire. Feminine arousal felt so wonderfully bizarre to the stallion, and by the time Cadence withdrew from the kiss, his face had become flushed.

"My goodness, I've gotten you excited, haven't I?" Cadence teased. "I can smell my own scent in the air." She giggled softly as her horn lit up, slowly pulling the boxers off of her body and letting her hardening stallionhood out of its cloth prison. Shining let out a soft pant, the burning down there starting to become unbearable.

"Come on, honey," Cadence growled, her hot breath tickling the hairs of Shining's ear. "Aren't you just a little curious? I know I am. Not many ponies get this opportunity. Why don't we make the most of it?" The playful lilt in Cadence's voice was just too much for Shining. There was virtually nothing he wouldn't do for that voice. He loved Cadence, and had vowed to do anything it took to make sure she was happy. If this was what it took...

"If you do this for me, I'll do absolutely anything you want next time." Cadence whispered.

That sold it. It really barely needed to be sold any more for Shining as he was already cautiously on board, but that sealed the deal. Cadence had already made the closer; now she had just brought up a signing bonus.

"Okay..." Shining said shakily. To be honest, even though he wasn't nearly as eager as Cadence seemed to be about the idea, he was rather curious about what it would be like to be on the other end of this. If it felt even half as good as the showerhead, he feared he might never want to get this fixed.

Shining's train of thought was interrupted as Cadence pushed her lips against his once more. He eagerly kissed back, taking a step back as Cadence forced herself forward. It took him a few steps before he realized that Cadence was doing exactly what he often did to her, walking forward while kissing to slowly back the other towards the bed. He wanted to feel strange about letting Cadence establish dominance, but with all the strange things that had been happening, he had a feeling he would have to re-establish his personal definition of the word. Plus, it was hot seeing her take control like this.

Shining soon felt the mattress against the back of his hind legs. Cadence kept pushing forward, and he allowed her to gently ease him back onto the bed. Before he knew it, he was on his back on the mattress. Cadence's tongue invaded his mouth, and his own quickly submitted to hers, letting it do as it pleased. Then, as quickly as it had entered, it receded. Cadence's lips left his and began drifting down his chin, giving little kisses and nips down his neck. Cadence had clearly learned from his usual technique and was employing every little tactic of his to entice him. Her kisses, nips, and nuzzles continued down his chest, gradually traveling from white to pink. He felt her hesitate slightly once she'd crossed over, pulling up for a moment.

"Gosh, it feels weird looking at my own lower body from this angle," Cadence said as she sat up. Shining's eyes shifted focus, catching sight of his own hard stallionhood standing at full mast on Cadence's body.

"Tell me about it," Shining muttered. Cadence followed his gaze and giggled. She reached down and placed a hoof on her rock-hard member, gently stroking it.

"Oh, are you looking at this?" Cadence asked playfully. "Is this what you want? Does this turn you on?" Shining bit his lip, now unable to look away. He wasn't about to admit it. But something about the sight was quite alluring. The intense heat down below was getting harder and harder to ignore, and he could feel himself getting wet. His own arousal was still evident in the air, but it was now joined by an easily-recognizable musk.

"Now I love you, Shiny," Cadence said with a grin. "But this is something I think you could stand to do better. Pay careful attention, alright?" Then her face sank back down towards Shining's teats. Shining felt Cadence's warm lips wrap around one teat, and his eyes went wide. Playing with his teats earlier had been nice, but the warm embrace of Cadence's lips and the playful licking of her tongue felt even better. He had never paid a whole lot of attention to those teats when they were on Cadence's body. Sure, he'd play with them a little, but not to this extent. As he rolled his eyes back in pleasure from Cadence's gentle licking and occasional suckling, her other hoof coming up to massage the other teat, he decided that this would have to change immediately.

After a little bit longer, Cadence pulled up, staring down between Shining's legs. Even with how eager she was, the sight of her own marehood in front of her made her blush a bit. Shining stared down his body at her, now more than eager for her to go on, so much so that her slight hesitance was almost frustrating. Just as she was about to get going once more, there was a sudden magical crackle. Shining began to panic, worried that Twilight had managed to find the absolute worst time to finally come and fix things. Both Shining and Cadence were momentarily confused as they watched a can of whipped cream suddenly materialize in front of them, falling onto the bed and bouncing on the mattress before settling next to Shining's rump. The two stared at it for a few moments before Cadence burst out laughing.

"Hah!" Cadence exclaimed, picking the can up in her magic. "I guess Twilight wasn't kidding about the whipped cream!" Shining facehooved, beginning to laugh himself. Even when she wasn't even there and didn't intend it in the least, Twilight had a way of interrupting things.

"That's my sister," Shining said with a chuckle. Then he got a good look at the devilish little grin on Cadence's face.

"Well, this has worked out pretty well," Cadence said, beginning to shake the can up.

Shining didn't even have time to ask questions. Nor did he need to, actually. He knew exactly what was coming, because he'd requested trying this with Cadence long ago and had loved having that request fulfilled. Shining shuddered slightly as the chilly whipped cream was sprayed onto each teat. A generous amount adorned the bit of skin between his teats and his marehood, with a final spray briefly relieving the burning in his marehood as it was coated in what was likely only the first white substance that would decorate it tonight.

"Mmm..." Cadence said with a giggle as she looked down at her tasty masterpiece. "You look good enough to eat." She lowered herself down, her tongue once again finding its mark on Shining's teats. Shining let out a soft moan under the dutiful diligence of Cadence's tongue, but he was getting eager for her to move onto the main course. He waited with bated breath as she finished the whipped cream on his teats, anticipation building as she snacked lower and lower. She was just about to reach his marehood when she stopped suddenly.

"Oh, how selfish of me," Cadence said with a grin. "Here I am enjoying myself—quite literally—and I'm not even offering you any."

Shining watched as Cadence righted herself. She began to turn around, and Shining was once again left with a sense of foreboding. Cadence was quick to change positions, and the next thing Shining knew, his face was up close and personal with his own privates. His amply-sized genitals dangled pendulously over his face, just begging to be lavished with attention.

Shining took a moment to reflect. If, a mere two days ago, somepony had told him that he would be on his back on his bed while his own genitals, attached to his wife, swung in his face, he would have likely added a potential drug bust to his list of guard duties for the day. And yet here he was, dark blue shaft and balls inches from his nose. He was trepidatious, to say the least.

"Almost forgot!" Cadence sang. Shining watched as the whipped cream can floated back into view, spraying a line down the length of the shaft and dollops on the tip and each ball. "Make sure to finish it all! We wouldn't want it to go to waste." Before Shining could protest, he felt Cadence's forelegs wrap around his lower half. He was hoisted up, hind hooves in the air, with a strength that he didn't realize Cadence had. Then he felt jolts of pleasure as Cadence dug in, burying her muzzle in his marehood. Shining let out a delighted moan as she began eating the whipped cream and him. This did feel better than the showerhead.

Seeing how Cadence was so eager to please him that she didn't mind going all out on what was her own genitalia, Shining knew what he had to do. He took a deep breath, reminding himself that he was doing this for the love of his wife, and opened his mouth. His tongue gently grazed the head of Cadence's stallionhood, and he grinned as he heard her gasp softly. He always did love hearing the happy sounds his wife made when they made love, and decided to use that as his inspiration to go outside of his comfort zone. He leaned forward slowly, willing himself to wrap his lips around the head. This elicited another happy squeak from Cadence, which only made her work on Shining's marehood increase.

Shining did his best to not think of exactly what was in his mouth as he sank further down onto the shaft, tongue dancing around the obstruction and lapping up each bit of whipped cream it came upon. For each inch he took, Cadence rewarded him by working more fervently at his opening, completely eschewing the fabricated goal of finishing the whipped cream by plunging her tongue deep within his folds. Shining eventually got far enough that his nose touched the whipped cream on Cadence's balls. Too far gone to be concerned with what was going on anymore, determined to make things as good for Cadence as she was for him, he nuzzled at her sack, gathering the whipped cream onto his nose to finish later. It was only kind of cheating, but rather than doing it to avoid having to suck on those too, he was doing this more to not have to relinquish what was already in his mouth. What was in his mouth, by the way, was now reaching the back of Shining's throat. He coughed slightly, feeling his gag reflex beginning to kick in.

"B-breathe through your nose," Cadence called back to him, her voice sending pleasant vibrations into his marehood. Her voice was cracking, likely from the pleasure she was feeling. "A-and try to swallow a bit to help with that gag reflex." Shining knew how good Cadence was at doing this from first-hoof experience and took her advice, gulping quietly. He felt the tip of Cadence's shaft enter his throat slightly, and began breathing heavily through his nose. His eyes were watering slightly, but his dedication to making Cadence feel good helped him persevere. He closed his eyes as he moved far enough down her shaft for her balls to gently rest against his face. By this point, he'd mostly stopped caring about what he was doing, concentrating primarily on the fact that it was a loving act between himself and his wife.

Just as Shining was sure he was ready to explode, Cadence suddenly pulled away from his nethers. Shining began to tense up, expecting the tip of Cadence's stallionhood, which by now was firmly lodged in his throat, to flare up, but instead it popped out of his throat, gradually receding from his mouth altogether. Shining took this opportunity to take a deep breath through his mouth, happy to have that passage unobstructed again. Even though he had never had the desire to have a cock in his mouth, he supposed it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Not that he was about to go and request a repeat performance. Still, he found himself oddly confused by the fact that he somewhat missed having his lips wrapped around it. What he missed even more, though, was Cadence's tongue between his folds. He was so close to relieving that burning desire, only to have it taken away from him. He let out a soft "ngh," rubbing his thighs together gently.

"Okay..." Cadence said, also sounding a bit flustered by the feelings she'd just experienced. "That was a good warmup. Now let's get on to the main event."

Shining felt Cadence rest his hindquarters back on the bed, then watched as she turned around to face him once more. He had been in this position with Cadence many times, but the roles had been reversed. Looking up at Cadence as she stood over him, he couldn't help but swoon. She looked so sexy when she was standing over him, taking charge of the situation. He decided then and there that he would have to let her on top more often. He loved that beautiful mare, no matter whose hindquarters she had.

Cadence lowered herself to get nose-to-nose with Shining. She grinned and licked his nose, gathering up the whipped cream that had ended up there from her balls. She tsk-tsked lightly.

"I thought I told you to finish all of that," Cadence said. "Good thing I was hungry, huh?"

"H-heh..." Shining responded, blushing. Then he felt a gentle prodding against his nether lips. Cadence had moved herself into position and now her meat missile was looking to dock. The feeling of that thick tip prodding against his sensitive folds was driving him wild with desire. Despite being positive that he never would have had a thought like this before, Shining wanted desperately to have that length inside him.

"You ready, baby?" Cadence asked, shifting her hips a bit to let her tip gently trace along Shining's opening.

"Put it in me, baby..." Shining said. He blushed intensely as he heard those words come out of his mouth, and even moreso when he saw Cadence's grin.

"Oh, I wish I was recording that..." Cadence mused. She took a breath, making sure she was on target."Now I'm obviously not used to this, but I figure it couldn't be too hard..."

"It's pretty hard," Shining replied, giving Cadence a wink.

"Oh, I'm giving it to you extra-hard for that one," Cadence responded with a roll of her eyes and a chuckle. She made sure she was lined up properly, then gave a quick thrust, moaning as she sank her stallionhood into her husband. Her eyes crossed as her member was surrounded in warm wetness. "Oh my gosh, this feels amazing! No wonder you like this so much!"

Shining didn't respond. His mind was currently in disarray, trying to comprehend the onslaught of wonderful feelings that his body was processing. If the showerhead had been amazing, then this was beyond description. The feeling of something so thick, hard, and hot inside that tunnel was cripplingly, mind-numbingly fantastic, and when he finally found himself able to vocalize, the moan that escaped his lips wasn't much of a coherent response.

"Ngh..." Cadence moaned, pulling back slowly. She knew what she liked when Shining did it and tried to copy his methods. She loved his strong thrusts, so she did her best to emulate that, rocking Shining's world with another powerful push. The feeling of Shining's walls squeezing her temporary member was intoxicating to the mare, and she moved to an unsteady pistoning, eyes closing as she concentrated on that feeling. It was like all the nerve endings in her clit had been spread across a larger surface area, and she needed to keep pumping in order to keep the friction going.

Shining, meanwhile, was trying to figure out how to get his pelvic muscles to aid in working Cadence. Cadence had some way of tightening her vaginal muscles to squeeze and clench around his member when they normally made love, and he wanted to give Cadence that same sensation. He never realized how hard it was to take control of muscles that he hadn't possessed before. A lack of muscle memory made it quite a feat, but with some shifting, he managed to tighten his marehood's grip on his wife's shaft. Cadence clearly appreciated that effort, as was made evident by the loud, somewhat-husky moan that the action elicited. With that under control, Shining was able to concentrate on shifting his hips to move with Cadence. He knew how much it took him out of it when Cadence was tired and didn't move much—though he didn't dare complain about it to her. The last thing he wanted to do was not move himself, lest he ruin the experience for her.

Cadence gave her husband another hard thrust, lowering herself down to push her lips against his. Shining was more than happy to return the kiss, wrapping his hind legs around Cadence and locking her in place. She couldn't escape now, although she couldn't say she had any intent to do so. Her amateurish pumping and pistoning left something to be desired, but Shining couldn't possibly care less. He was feeling absolutely fantastic, and from the feeling of it, he wasn't going to last much longer. The pressure was starting to build behind the dam, and judging from Cadence's increasing pace, she wasn't too far off herself. The climax from the showerhead earlier had been mind-blowing, but he could already tell that this one was going to be even better, and as the dam finally burst, his prediction turned out to be true. He let out a loud, practically-girlish cry of pleasure as he came, soaking the bedsheets with his feminine juices. If his mind was blurred before, it was far more so now as his entire body was awash with utter pleasure.

But the ride was not yet over, Shining quickly realized as Cadence's pace quickened. He felt her tip begin to flare inside him, and his thoughts raced through his head, trying to decide what to do about it. Those thoughts, however, found themselves solidly blocked by a wall of happiness, contentedness, and pleasure. In the state that he was in, Shining's sense of logical thought was as good as gone. He kept his hind legs locked around Cadence, his body language practically begging her to finish right where she was. And finish she did, a loud moan accompanying her orgasm. Shining felt a wave of hot seed flood his insides, followed by another, and another still. Shining had never expected to feel anything even remotely close to this, and the sensations of it all quickly brought him to a second climax. Both ponies rode out their intense orgasms, clinging to each other as tightly and lovingly as their pleasure-wracked bodies would allow.

Shining and Cadence's muscles finally gave out on them as they finished, and Cadence's mostly-small frame flumped down onto Shining as her legs gave way. The two lovers panted heavily, goofy grins crossing both faces. Their eyes met, and they gazed lovingly at each other for a good few moments before they found the energy to meet in a kiss. Cadence sat up afterwards, grinning down at her husband.

"You did good, stud," Cadence said softly.

"You too, babe," Shining replied, reaching down with a hoof and patting his midsection. He could feel a slight bulge down there; Cadence had really gotten in there deep, and it felt better than he ever would have imagined. He gently rubbed the bulge, eliciting a happy little sigh from Cadence. He couldn't explain the feelings he was feeling right now. He and Cadence loved each other with all of their hearts, and had shown this physically quite often, but he couldn't think of a time where he felt closer to her than he did right now.
