Bed-Ridden

To my wonderful brother and sister,
I’m so happy to hear you two are feeling better (though if you ask me, it IS a little unfair that Shining got better before you did, Cadance). However, I’m so sorry that I can’t come and visit. Me and my friends are just so busy with each other’s plans and obligations. The fact that I was able to visit when I did was nothing short of a miracle.

I know that a simple letter isn’t the same as me being there myself, but either way, just know that I’m still glad to know you’re both well again. I’ll see about clearing up some time to come see you soon. Maybe a simple day around Canterlot together?

With Love,

Twilight Sparkle

Cadance smiled as she silently reread the letter. She was so proud of how far Twilight had come; From the shy little bookworm of a filly to the proud young adult with five friends (six counting Spike) who’d do anything for each other.

Putting the letter down on the nightstand, Cadance pulled up her blanket and tucked herself in. Her mind drifted to almost a week ago; Her cheeks began to warm up as she recalled the passionate lovemaking that took place between her and Shining. How high it lifted his spirits.

How quickly it made her a little under the weather as a result. But she was much more accepting of it than her husband was of his own illness, and was able to recover quicker (but certainly not without the loving help of Shining, who took just as much care, if not more, of her as she did him).

Sighing in contentment, she nuzzled the pillow, imagining it to be the chest of her love. Unfortunately, he was unable to return from his duties as Captain until late that night, and she was advised not to stay up to wait for him. She frowned slightly. She adored his devotion to his duties, but on some days more than others, it demanded more from him than she felt should be allowed.

Of course, despite being a princess, she had no power over how long the Captain of the Guard had to do his job. And she knew that this only happened once in a while.

She felt her eyelids growing heavy, her senses dulling as she began to drift. This made her unable to hear the oh-so-quiet creaking of the bedroom door. Her breathing grew slower and slower…

She gasped sharply as she felt the arm wrapping around her waist. She twisted her body to face the source of the appendage. Wide awake, she was able to make out the identity of the intruder. She sat up in amazement.

“…Shining?!”

The unicorn stallion only smirked. Cadance stammered before speaking again. “B-but…your shift…the training…”

Shining silenced her by speaking up. “There’s a reason I’m not the Element of Honesty.” Cadance stared dumbfounded at him until scoffing and giving him a playful shove.

“You JERK!” She laughed aloud, feeling that was the least offensive name she could call him. Shining folded his forearms across his chest.

“Yeah…but I’m YOUR jerk.” He unfolded his arms and leaned toward her. “And you get to have this jerk all night tonight.”

Cadance placed a hoof over her mouth. “Why Shining, you’re not suggesting…”

“Maybe I am,” He retaliated as they both looked into each other’s eyes. He placed his hoof on hers. “Your treatment proved to be quite effective, Cadance. Maybe it’s time you were treated yourself.”

Cadance could only giggle, their noses almost touching. “It’s a bit too late for that, Doctor. I’ve gotten better.”

“I see…” Shining pretended to think for a moment. “Okay. How about because I love you infinitely and wish to express it the best way I can?”

Cadance smiled, responding more to the love in his eyes than his reasoning. “Well, when you put it that way…”

No other words were said as they kicked away the blanket and sealed their lips into a kiss. Inching closer to each other, they wrapped around themselves in an embrace, allowing the kiss to grow deeper. They had to resort to breathing through their noses as their tongues intertwined.

Carefully, Shining was able to move Cadance so that she laid on her back. He broke away from their kiss, and began to give her small pecks on her neck. She moaned in absolute delight as her husband’s mouth did its magic. She could feel him kissing her on her chest, going lower and lower before realizing where he was heading. She looked down just in time to see his mouth hovering over her nether regions. Shining looked up at her as if he was a colt caught with his hoof in a cookie jar.

Cadance sighed and shook her head with a smile. “You hypocrite.”

“What?” he asked, wondering what he did wrong.

“Do I honestly need to explain?” She asked. “You say all the time you don’t want my mouth on your pride. Here you are, ready to plunge your tongue into me as if it were the rarest of salt licks.”

Shining sputtered, trying to find an excuse. “T-this is different!”

Cadance responded by raising an eyebrow. Shining sighed in defeat, moving his body until his head was at level with Cadance’s. “I’m sorry,” he stated. She placed a hoof on one of his forelegs.

“Don’t be. But now you know how I feel. Besides…” She drifted off as she looked downwards. “There’s a way you can pleasure us both.”

Shining quickly understood what she meant. His stallionhood once again was fully erect. He could feel himself wanting to give in to his animalistic desires and dive into her like a rutting beast. But he knew to treat her better. He knew how to pace himself.

They both began to breathe quicker as he moved on top of her to the point of standing over her on all fours. Slowly he set his back legs down, his forelegs holding him up. He saw her look at his member, poised to enter her, before looking back up at him. They smiled and kissed again. During this kiss, however, Shining moved his lower half until it lightly pressed into Cadance. Gently, he moved himself in.

He felt the moan escape her mouth and vibrate into his. His response was to slowly go deeper. Breaking away again, she clutched onto his back with her forelegs, eyes closed as she focused on the pleasure he gave her. Now all the way in, Shining began the slow pull outwards, wallowing in the emotional bliss both Cadance’s amorous moaning and the pressure down below gave him.

“That’s it…” Shining muttered loud enough for Cadance to hear. “There we are.” The slow in-and-out pattern continued, their mutterings and groaning beginning to mingle with each other.

Cadance could feel Shining’s gradual increase in pace. Her breathing beginning to quicken, she moved her hooves down his back. They managed to find Shining’s flanks, which she lightly rubbed. Hooves right on his shield cutie marks, she began to press down as if they were buttons. Shining gasped lightly at this action before looking at her with an open-mouthed grin as he panted. She merely looked up at him with a loving smile.

Within half an hour, Shining’s slow pattern was now progressing into quickening thrusts. He lightly grunted with each push inward, eliciting a cry from Cadance from time to time. They kissed over and over as the stallion continued his rhythmic motions.

“Oh, Shining…” Cadance feebly whispered. Her husband responded by nuzzling into her neck.

“Cadance. My beautiful Cadance.” Hearing his words nearly drove her to tears. Certainly, anypony she’d met told her she looked stunning. But hearing it from her husband carried profound sentiments. She returned his affections by nuzzling his neck as well.

She then began to gasp. She could feel it coming. The dam deep inside that was ready to burst from Shining’s constant assault on it. She threw her head back onto the pillow, her moaning becoming louder. “Shining!” She managed to shout. “I’m…I’m almost…there…”

“I know, Cadance, I know,” He replied as he lightly kissed her neck again. Their venture was nearing its end. But Shining wasn’t going to be the first one to end it.

Now, after hearing her warning, Shining Armor closed his eyes, clenched his teeth and began to thrust into her deeper and harder. The response was exactly what he expected: Quickened gasps with each push, followed by her pushing down on his rear further.

“Shiniiing…” Cadance weakly cried out. “I…I can’t hold it anymore!”

The stallion only continued to pump as he gave his answer: “So don’t.”

His next thrust was what did it. Cadance’s scream pierced the air of their bedroom. She was helpless as her lower regions convulsed, able to only shout and squeal in pure delight, letting her hooves fall to her sides.

Shining, feeling her marehood constrict him, also found that resisting was next to impossible. Throwing his head back, he let out a roar of a shout as he sent his lower half down into her one last time. The force of his final push was enough to actually cause a short-lived dip in their bed. He let his stallionhood convulse as he felt his essence flowing into his beloved wife. Shining kept his arched position, staring at the spot where the wall met the ceiling, before realizing he was emptied.

With regret, he pulled himself away before moving his body so that he landed square on his back, right next to Cadance. They stared up at nothing in particular before turning to look at each other. A split second later, they found themselves kissing again.

“I hope I didn’t hurt you too bad,” Shining finally told her. Her response was to laugh.

“That was everything BUT painful, Shining,” she shot back. She then gave a teasing glare. “You’re still a jerk for lying to me, though.”

“It’s like you said when I was sick,” Shining gazed into her eyes. “Completely worth it.”

“Hey, that’s not fair!” Cadance playfully shoved him. “You can’t use that as an excuse! I was almost fast asleep before you came home! What then, my master strategist?” Shining struggled to answer her question, but could find no response. Cadance nodded. “I thought so.” She waited before pulling him closer to her and enveloping him in a warm hug. “Don’t worry. I forgave you instantly. And tonight more than made up for it.”

Shining hugged her back. “Well, even if it didn’t, I’d understand.” They closed their eyes as they cuddled into both each other and their bed. Using their magic, they retrieved the blanket and covered themselves with it, making sure to tuck each other in. They gave each other one last kiss for the night. Shining sighed. “I love you, Cadance. I can’t say that enough.”

“Neither can I. I love you too, Shining.”

They prepared themselves for their night’s rest. Cadance concentrated on the warmth of her husband and the love that seemed to absolutely beam between the two of them. Shining, on the other hand (or hoof), concentrated on not only his wife, but how she got him out of his rut a week ago, as well as his plans for tomorrow to repay her. The surprises weren’t over for Cadance.

The last thing on his mind before going to sleep was how happy she’d be once she found out about the two round-trip tickets to Ponyville he blatantly left on her nightstand.

THE END

Well…here we are. My first clopfic, done.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect the first chapter to be as popular as it was. I just wanted to write the ShiningxCadance story no one else seemed to be writing.
Still, thank you all so much!
As stated before, critiques are accepted, and any problems you may find (grammatical, word choices or otherwise) need only to be pointed out for me to fix it.
See you next time!
