Melts In Your Mouth And In Your Hands
You would have thought at one time that being the Princess’ personal guard would have been a bit more exciting. When you first got into the position, you thought you’d see a bit more action out on the frontier of Equestria. In fact it was a lot more standing around than it was in your other patrols when you first signed up for the Royal Guard in Canterlot.
You were on such a patrol right now, walking along the streets of the Crystal Kingdom. The place was good enough, the cold did break through every once in awhile but it certainly was better than the winds that Canterlot were known for. It was a silent thanks you gave every day to not be a thousand feet up in a city on the mountain.
Even though you might complain about the fact that you were on a patrol in a perfectly peaceful country, you didn’t relish the chance to do real combat. Apparently you were a few months late coming into Equestria for both a changeling attack and some evil guy named Sombrero who was really obsessed with crystals and stairs.
Speaking of stairs, you felt like there were too many stairs. Climbing them must have been easier as a pony, but as a human in guard armor it felt like some of the flights seemed to spiral on into infinity.
A cold wind blew through the alley you just passed, which was strange. Wasn’t the barrier supposed to keep these things out? You shook your head, you couldn’t wrap your mind around magic sometimes.
Other things to distract you while you were on patrol were the small little details that made Equestria different from Earth. Your diet mostly changed, though you did lie a little and said that your diet had to contain meat every few days. Sure it technically wasn’t a real lie, but you made it seem like it was a critical need. You are not going to eat tofu for forever. Dealing with other races of mythological beasts was a new thing too. Minotaurs didn’t mind you since you were bipedal like them and griffons liked you because you ate meat.
The one major thing that annoyed you was the fact that everyone added -pony to the end of everything. You were a guardsman, not guardspony. It has bugged you ever since you got into Equestria, and ponies had that really annoying habit of trying to correct you.
As you climbed yet another flight of stairs, you thought back on how you first came into Equestria. Some theories from the top minds of Canterlot’s Magic Academy were still discussing both the process of you arriving here and the ramifications of the magic used. Quite a few believe there was a minute rip in space-time and you were thrust into another universe. A few others thought it was the whim of Discord, and he somehow accidentally summoned you here. One or two blamed the current Element of Magic for somehow teleporting you here as well.
No matter the method, your arrival was put down into the history books.
You were a knight of great importance! Well, to be honest, you were a performer who was a knight in a theatrical recreation of tournaments from the middle ages. Your main job was to be one of the contestants in a tournament to determine who was the “best knight”. Sure, the fights were staged and you knew beforehand who was going to win, but it was the most amount of fun you had ever had working in your life. You emulated the knight persona to everyone who wasn’t a co-worker when you were there. You waved to crowds, signed autographs to kids who watched you and saved the princess from the traitorous black knight when you were scheduled to. You even did some jousting and swordplay with your fellow ‘knights’.
To everyone, you were William Marshall, a knight who has shown honour and bravery in the field of battle. To yourself, you knew you were a performer, but if you could be transported away to a magical place where knights and princesses were glorified, you’d want to be there.
So you recall falling out of your bed on Earth and landing on the floor of the Canterlot Castle.
You remember how you appeared in the Throne Room in Canterlot, surprising everypony and immediately turning the guards hostile. Two gold-plated white unicorns were leveling their spears at you while three more placed themselves between you and their ruler, Princess Celestia.
Now seeing how you had strange aliens pointing spears at you, your fight-or-flight response was to immediately grab a candelabra on a large pole. The unicorn in front of you made his horn glow brighter, which made your staff glow. Apart from a neon light show, nothing happened. You suspected that he was trying to disarm you, and he looked shocked that it didn’t work. Unfortunately his failure made the guard attack you, thinking you were going to somehow kill the Princess with a brass candle holder.
Now the one thing you found out about the Royal Guard is that in the hundreds of years of peace, they were actually terrible fighters. The unicorn could have used sirens because he broadcasted his spear thrust so well that you easily stepped to the side. You pushed the spear away with your makeshift staff and conked him on the helmet with the base. He hit the floor like a bag of bricks.
The second guard looked absolutely terrified as you stood over him. He backed up a bit and told you to stand down. You, not knowing what the hell was going on simply asked, “What even are you? Seriously, I don’t know where I am!”
A golden bubble surrounded you, and the tall white pegasus unicorn in front of you had her horn glowing. You poked what you expected to be a shield and it immediately popped as if it was a soap bubble. You saw her facial features twitch for a second before speaking to you. “Creature, do you mean us ill will?”
You shook your head but still held the candelabra defensively. “I don’t know where I am or who you are, let alone if I was going to hurt you.”
“Who are you?” She asked.
“Marshall.” You replied.
From there you two talked a little before you both realized the mistakes that just happened. She apologized for the guard attacking you and in turn you said sorry for knocking said guard out. From there you found out where you were and that you weren’t going to be able to get home.
So instead of moping around in self pity and grieving about Earth, you signed up for the Royal Guard. You figured it was a good idea to keep yourself from thinking about Earth too much.
Well, you got what you wanted, you certainly kept yourself busy. Training and work made sure you didn’t think back too much. Eventually after a year in Canterlot you learned there was an opening in the Crystal Empire. You took it immediately, wanting to see more of the magical world you were thrust into.
From there you met Cadence and Shining Armor, and it was a pretty uneventful yet pleasant encounter. You were neatly transferred into the ranks without much trouble. Eventually you were promoted to the Crystal Guard and took the new shifts of protecting the Princess. Although, after a few months of close proximity to Cadence, you two became great friends.
You noticed two guards coming directly towards you, giving a salute before addressing you. “Sir Marshall?”
You gave a polite salute back. “Yes, private?”
“I have had a request from Princess Cadence to head to her quarters within the hour. We are to resume your patrol.”
You thanked them and proceeded to head to the barracks to change. Ponies didn’t ask why you specifically would sometimes go to Cadence’s room without your armor. You were happy that most didn’t get the concept of clothes either. You got back to your bunk and took off your armor, placing it on its rack before taking a quick shower. You had to look clean and presentable when you were requested to see her.
Mostly because you were fucking the Princess of Love.
You never knew why she decided to cheat on Shining with you. Was it because of your exotic look? Did you have some sort of charm that she couldn’t resist? Was Shining Armor just absolutely shitty in bed? You didn’t exactly censor your thoughts around the Princess, so it could be because you were always honest and acted more like a friend than a guard.
Thinking back on it, your companionship was probably the cause of this. You two got too chummy, too comfortable around each other, and then it just happened. You weren’t complaining either, she was kinkier than any other girl you met on Earth! There was almost nothing that either Cadence or you could come up with that was off the table. Hell, you two sometimes even fucked on her table after she finished a ton of paperwork. Whenever she wanted to relieve some stress or try a new fetish, you were there to oblige.
Obviously, you two kept it civil outside of the bedroom or wherever you did the nasty.
You didn’t own many clothes, but the best thing was that nopony knew what high fashion was for humans. Jeans and a T-shirt? Totally the best thing a working man can present himself in, just ask the only human. Before you left the room you picked up a small package that you planned on giving Cadence when she next called on you.
Being with Cadence was actually an easy affair, both meanings too. She knew your schedule because she employed you, so you two were always alone. Shining Armor was never a problem either, since she was always informed by the guards of his itinerary almost every day.
You both also kept your relationship casual as well. This wasn’t some secretive Romeo and Juliet romance where you two had to hide your love from one another. Cadence was your friend as much as she was your boss, but you had no inclination to absolutely destroy her marriage directly. You cared enough for her not to have to go through a divorce and public scrutiny and besides, why ruin a good thing?
The other reason why you two fucking each other senseless worked was because she really was openly honest with Shining Armor. Both Cadence and you told him yourself that you would meet up after your shift to discuss Earth and other things. Guards knew that you and the Princess loved grabbing food from the kitchen late at night. The only lie that was ever told was that you two were having sex.
It really worked out. It was so simple and ridiculously easy to do. You had no idea if ponies were more naive than humans, but you two would meet up, do something, have sex, then leave.
Today you were to meet her in her bedroom. You knew yesterday that Shining Armor was off to Ponyville in order to visit his sister and wouldn’t be here until tomorrow night. You were surprised that she didn’t call you up last night to have fun.
Standing outside her chamber doors you nodded to the two guards who were out front. “Morning guys, how is the shift so far?”
“All quiet today Marshall. Can’t complain, Sir.” The one on the left said with a salute.
“I’m off shift, don’t bother saluting. How is the Princess today?”
“Not too bad. She complained about court again, but that is normal. She picked up some books from the library she said she was going to show you.” The right guard replied.
“Sweet. I’ve been wondering about Sinderion’s work on Alchemy. You two have a good day, she might send someone for food later if our normal talks take too long. You know how much she can go on, almost as bad as Princess Twilight herself.”
The guards chuckled as you knocked on the door. The gold and crystal door slowly opened up to Cadence and Shining Armor’s bedroom. “Come on in!” Cadence sang out.
You turned to the guards again. “She can’t be having too bad of a day with that voice. Have a good one gentlecolts.” You told them as you slipped inside the bedroom, closing the door behind you.
Turning around you saw a sight that you thanked the gods for. Then again you were on first name basis with the gods of this world, so you thought against doing so. Now, the sight before you was still one that was absolutely magnificent.
“See anything you like, sir?” Cadence spoke in a sultry tone.
She had her hair up in a ponytail, some light makeup on and some candles lit up all around her. That paled in comparison to the fact that she was wearing the equivalent of a Catholic schoolgirl's outfit. There was a Prench blouse that she wore loosely on her withers as well as her rear being covered with a plaid skirt.
What scared you as well as aroused you was the fact that you never told her about the uniform of a schoolgirl, so you had no idea where she got this getup. You decided that the best action at this point was to roll with it. It wasn’t every day that a Princess decided to dress up for you.
You observed all of this in three seconds before you adopted your own persona. There was one thing she could never indulge in with any other pony that you could provide. You stood up straight and acted as if her dressing up for you wasn’t a big thing at all. “Of course not, I see a pony who isn’t servicing me right now.” You spoke calmly and with some authority.
“Well if you wish to come over here then I’ll be glad to take care of all your needs, Sir Marshall.” Cadence shifted uncomfortably.
“I don’t recall asking you for your opinion Candy. Why would I go to you when you know you should come to me?” You asked.
“It might… slip…”
“Speak up when I am talking to you, Candy.” You placed your hands on your hips.
She slowly turned around and lifted her tail, which exposed her marehood and tailhole. Her sex was absolutely soaked in her juices, which was probably leaking onto the sheets already. Cadence’s plot was stuffed with a plug, the base of it sticking out of her with a ruby at the end.
You remember that toy, you were the one who stuck it in her last month. She must have been using it when you two weren’t close. “Sir it keeps slipping out, I need a larger one.”
It took every ounce of concentration to keep your mind on your role. Internally you were extremely excited and you wanted nothing more but to rip the plug out of her and just fuck her pony plot until she begged you for your cum. Your body however simply responded by walking over to her. Her head was pretty much at your crotch level and she inched towards the bulge in your jeans. You placed her package on the bed as you stood beside your Princess.
“You can’t even keep your own plug in anymore? I can’t believe you can’t have that much self control. Turn yourself around now, ass up.” You told her as you heard a small whine escaped from her lips. “And for that noise you get ten more.”
She got on all fours and raised her tail up high, giving you a nice, full view of something only Shining should see. Her marehood was openly winking now, and her puckered hole gripped the jeweled steel that was exposed to you. You raised your hand and brought it down upon her royal rear.
SMACK!
The sound resounded through the bedroom before you heard her count out ‘one’. She knew better than to not speak up after receiving a spanking. You repeated on her other flank, leaving a small red mark under her fur. Each time you stuck she would moan out each and every single one. Her pussy freely dripped marecum down her legs and you could see the bulb of the plug as she lost control of her muscles periodically.
At the fifteenth hit she was barely sputtering out each number and was drooling on a pillow she was clutching.
She soon counted to twenty nine like a good little pony, and you told her that as you rubbed her reddened backside. There was only one more to go and she was almost ruined at this point. Her legs were shaky and her breath was hitched. You knew there was only one thing to do. You raised your hand one more time and gave her a firm, hard spank.
She cried out your name as her body shook. Marecum shot out as her orgasm rolled through her. A soft impact was heard as the buttplug popped out of her loosened anus. Cadence tipped sideways before landing on her left flank, twitching and drooling.
You gave her a few moments to collect herself. “Thank you Sir, your pony is terribly sorry that she couldn’t keep in your gift through your punishment.”
You patted her on her cutie mark before covering it up with the skirt. “You wish to service me now Candy?”
She nodded excitedly. “Yes Sir, I’ve been thinking about you all day. I need to taste you.”
You flicked open the button on your jeans and let her take over. She never used her magic to undress you, and her hooves were enough to pull your pants down to expose your tented boxers. She pressed her muzzle against your bulge and took a deep breath and then moaned. Her hot breath washed over your trapped length and you throbbed against her. Cadence took a deep breath, gave a hum of satisfaction, and she then pulled your boxers down to free you.
Cadence giggled as your length booped her on the nose. She took another breath in before giving your entire length a lick from base to tip. She then moved back down again to take one of your testicles into her mouth, lightly washing it with her tongue before releasing it and moving to the other.
“So hot and full, I hope you fill me up, Sir.” She spoke as she tended to your balls.
“If you behave and do a good job, I’ll make sure to give you exactly what you want.” You said shakily.
Sounds of her desire came from her open maw before she took your head in, taking it down to the base. Her moans only added to the pleasure she wanted to give you as she tasted you. You never had received any kind of treatment from human girls like Cadence gave. The difference was she wanted to give it to you, she loved your taste and your throbbing cock deep in her mouth and throat. Never was there a time where she didn’t give you the best blowjobs she could. Candy simply loved giving you oral.
“Fuck, I adore your cock sir. You actually last long enough for me to enjoy this.” Cadence lustily said before diving back in again.
It was only by willpower that you didn’t blow your load quickly the first time she did this to you either. Since then your stamina only improved and you got to enjoy it more and more. It wasn’t every day that a mare practically worshipped your manhood, and you savoured each and every time.
All great things had to come to an end though, and you felt yourself almost ready to blow. “I’m going to cum Cadence, swallow it all and I’ll give you a treat.”
That only encouraged her to bob on your cock like a champ. You softly stroked her mane as you moved your hips, practically slow-fucking her muzzle. Your grip tightened on her ponytail and you held her in place as you cried her name, blasting a week’s worth of seed onto her willing tongue.
You only pulled out of her mouth when you got too sensitive. “Show me that you got it all, Candy.”
The mare sat up before opening her mouth up, displaying the copious amount of your semen that coated her tongue. You nodded to her before she tilted her head up and audibly swallowed, allowing you to see your load go down her throat.
“Thank you for your cum, Sir.”
She was just absolutely beaming as she looked at you. “I got you a present Candy, want to see it?”
You could tell that she did, her wings twitched slightly and her left forehoof almost lifted off her bed. You reached over to pick up the package that you brought and unwrapped the bow from it.
You both made a deal to give each other ‘normal’ presents outside of sex and sexual gifts when you actually were fucking. That way you didn’t have false expectations and you both knew you got to try a new toy right way. Cadence’s eyes almost sparkled when she saw your new gift to her.
It was a brand new steel princess plug for her to try out, with a nice purple amethyst heart on the end of it. Her previous one was about an inch wide and currently was on her bed, but this one was almost two inches wide. If she was complaining about being too loose for the last one, she wasn’t going to have this one pop out of her. “Relax, I’m going to have some fun then pop it in.”
You moved the curved tip over her folds, lightly poking at her winking clit. Your mare sighed as she relaxed under your touch. Your fingers also teased along her lips as you expertly brought out light gasps and whimpers. After a moment of getting her relaxed you slipped both the toy and your index finger into Cadence. She moaned your name as you soaked both your digit and the toy, slowly finger fucking her.
You pushed a second finger into her as well, caressing her inner folds with the warming steel and fingertips. Cadence moaned and you saw her wing extend and lightly brush against your spent manhood, coaxing life from it again. Her soft purple wingtips felt amazing on you and you felt yourself slowly get hard.
This mostly-silent exchange lasted for a few more moments. To you it was nice, just some mutal pleasure shared between you two in the downtime before the main event. Once you were satisfied at how relaxed and wet Cadence was, you brought the toy to her puckered tailhole. You pressed the slickened steel against her entrance and slowly slid the plug inside of her. Cadence sucked in a breath as she got used to the new girth. However her flesh yielded and with a soft yelp the plug firmly rested in her backside.
“Wow, I feel really full with this new one.” She remarked.
You chuckled, “Yeah I figured you could handle it. Seeing as how the other one popped right out, I guess I did it right on time.”
Cadence smiled. “I wouldn’t mind keeping it in me if you want to watch a movie later.”
You simply smiled and nodded. “Alright, but first we gotta get down to business. Roll over, Candy.”
Cadence spread herself out on her back, her wings stretching to each side of the bed. Her winking marehood slowly dripped her arousal over her brand new toy. She spread her forelegs as a speechless way to ask if you could kiss her. One of the things you loved about Cadence was the sheer amount of sexuality and adorableness she could display at any time.
You slowly crawled over her body and your lips met. It wasn’t a lust-fuelled kiss nor was it a delicate peck on the lips. As much as you could order her around, and as much as she loved feeling your fingers dance along her flanks; this kiss perfectly summed up your relationship with her.
It was a kiss filled with passion, but made with care and the simple yet content feeling of being with someone else who felt the same. You two didn’t have the complex relationship that royalty brought, nor the silly romance that two young lovers could have. You were two adults who were comfortable with each other, who could be open to one another without fear of judgement.
Breaking the kiss, you looked into Cadence’s eyes. She was genuinely smiling and came up to kiss you one last time on the nose. “Hey, Marshall?”
“What do you need my pretty pink pony princess?” You asked her, nibbling her neck.
She responded with a giggle. “Have I been a good little pony princess?”
You booped her on the nose with your finger. “Of course you were, sweetie. Would my pretty pink princess like a reward for being such a good girl?”
“If that reward is you rutting me until I can’t remember what kingdom I am in charge of, then yes, I am ready.” She moved her hips to press her hot marehood on your length.
You unfortunately couldn’t hold back a few laughs. “Wow Candy, that was really cheesy.”
She lightly hit you on the shoulder, “Shut up and fuck me or I swear I’ll ahhhhh!”
You cut off her little rant by leaning down and slipping half your length inside of her. Given how much you’ve been working her up and the orgasm you gave her, she was sopping wet. You pulled back and pushed inside of her again, getting another inch in. Soon enough you were firmly and fully embedded deep within her.
“Ohhhh, fuck yes. I’ve been dreaming about this moment all week.” Cadence spoke as you started to slowly fuck her.
“To think that I’ve just been walking around in my armor all day. You could have just brought me into a guest room and stripped me down.” You whispered into her ear as your hips connected over and over again.
“That’s the thing dear, I could do that. But - oh fuck, right there - but I can’t do that. A stallion I could bring into a closet for a quick rut. You, however…” Cadence’s left hoof trailed down your back as she pushed her hips against you as much as she could. “You I need to savour. I can’t just waste you on a quick fuck.
“I need to taste you like a fine wine. Your scent in my lungs is like a breath of ambrosia. I have to feel you deep inside as you ravage me over and over again. Just fucking fuck me!”
Your immediate reaction was to oblige the Princess’ request as you sat up and started to pound into her at a quicker pace. Cadence was still absolutely beautiful with her mane all spread out and messy. You made a quick promise to yourself to make sure she looked properly fucked by the time you were finished. Placing a hand on her stomach you gave her a quick belly rub before descending to her heated sex. Rubbing a thumb over her clit sent bolts of pleasure down her spine and through her wings as they extended again.
Cadence felt amazing as always, too. Her sex was hotter than a human female’s, but it was absolutely fantastic how the heat would caress your length. One thing that mares had over their human counterparts was how they clenched down, their ‘winking’ gripping you as if to milk you of your seed. Without a doubt, even without the care and worship Cadence gave you she would be the best fuck you had ever had.
Her desires only made it even better.
You gripped the sides of her flanks and started to really pick your speed. Cadence threw her head back and openly moaned, almost with her tongue hanging out. It was one of her favourite positions and it was something only you could do. Your fingers dug into her cutie marks as you pounded her like a jackhammer. The only sounds that were in the room were Cadence’s sweet cries and the wet sounds of your hips meeting.
Cadence’s mouth opened and let out a silent scream as she wrapped her hind legs around your waist and brought you in as deep as she could. Her walls gripped you tighter as a splash of marecum soaked your thighs. You reached back behind you to grip her hooves, prying them off your body as Cadence rode out her orgasm. Bringing them back to your front, you waited for her to calm down again before you continued your assault.
This time she couldn’t make out any words, she mindlessly babbled as you fucked her silly. Her head was lying on the side and her tongue was actually out of her mouth, drooling on her pillow. You just smiled and ignored her half-hearted attempts to push you off of her. You were merciless, and if she wanted you to stop, you were confident that she would say your safeword anyways.
“F-f-fuuucckkk!” Cadence cried out again as she rode out yet another orgasm.
You felt your own orgasm coming on you rapidly. As much as you’d love to keep fucking her until she lost consciousness, you just couldn’t hold it in. You didn’t announce your orgasm to your partner, she knew. She could hear your breath become ragged. She could feel you slow down to make sure you slammed into her nice and hard. You didn’t have a flare but she could feel your length throb inside of her.
All she had to do to trigger it was simply say “Please.”
As soon as the word left her lips it was as if a spell let you finally release inside of her. You pumped her full of your cum, filling her womb with your seed. You knew it wasn’t possible for you to make her pregnant, but a small part of you simply enjoyed the small dream. You held her tight as your hips were glued to hers. Moving your head up you two both kissed, sharing the pent up passion as you gave her exactly what she wanted.
After a few moments of sharing your saliva with your princess, you parted from her and pulled out of her abused sex. You smiled as she laid back and your sticky semen slipped from her parted lips. Moving up the bed you laid down beside her, bringing her close to your chest.
“Are you satisfied, Candy?”
You got a humm of satisfaction as an answer, which worked for you.
The next precious few moments you both fully enjoyed in each other’s embrace. Eventually you two had to get up to clean yourselves off. “Hey Candy, we should go get something to eat. Maybe you can kick everyone out of the kitchen and we can make some cookies. We haven’t done that for at least a few weeks. You up for that?”
You nudged Cadence but she didn’t seem to want to get up. Seeing as how mares were way easier to read emotionally than human women were, you picked up that something was off. “Hey Candy, you doing okay?”
There was a small shudder from her little mass of blankets. She rolled over and sat up. “No, I don’t think I am okay, Marshall.”
Well fuck, you just had sex and now it is time for emotional things. Some things were the same no matter what dimension you were in. You decided to just go for worse case scenario. “What is it? You want to cut things off?”
“No!” She almost shouted.“No, that is the problem. I really want us to continue, but I feel… I feel really conflicted about everything.”
“You are in love with both Shining Armor and I. If you break up with me, you will constantly regret that you will be missing out on what could be. However you feel like you will betray Shining Armor for sleeping with me behind his back and then divorcing him.” You stated.
There was a brief moment of silence before she spoke up. “Wow, that was incredibly accurate and concise.”
“I have long patrols and a lot of time to think about things.” You simply responded.
“Were you able to get a solution as well?”
You snorted a little. “Nah, that has always been your choice. We established that at the beginning, what? Four months ago?”
“Roughly, give or take a week. That is the thing though. I really, really love this, but it will only be a matter of time before Shiny finds out. I don’t want to have to decide between you two but... fuck I can’t.” Cadence replied as she leaned against you, to which you automatically started scratching behind her ear.
“See? This is exactly what I am missing. I didn’t even say something and immediately you do a small something without making a big deal about it. If I was upset, Shiny would dote on me like… well like a princess. I am a princess to every single pony, but I should just be an equal to my own husband. Instead I am the one that has to be looked after. I am the one that needs to be protected from villains.
“You though? You treat me like an equal whenever you aren’t in a uniform. You don’t treat me any different unless you are in a uniform. With you it is like the uniform is a mask you just take off and only I can see it. When I am with you I feel like I can take off my own princess mask and I am just nothing but Candy.”
“That’s because you are so sweet when you are with me.” You said as you gave her a hug.
She paused before giggling. “Why, you! I am trying to be serious here!”
You got up and then sat down beside her so you were looking at one another. You placed your hand on her face, which surprisingly covered up quite a bit, but she could see between your fingers. “Okay so when you are everywhere you have to be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, but when you take your mask off with me, you get to be yourself, ‘Candy’.”
You took your hand off of her face. “Okay the mask is now off. You are just you. Now you don’t need to worry about what I want. I can’t live your life, nobody can besides you. You have to decide for your own happiness and your own future. So you have to decide what you want. No matter what it is, I’ll support you.”
She looked at you with a raised eyebrow. “You will support me, no matter what?”
“Yes, no matter what you want. If you want me to go back to Canterlot, I’ll just go there. If you want to stay with me I’ll stay with you. If you dump me I’ll just bide my time and resurrect Sombra from the dead and get him to love something other than crystals and stairs.”
“What if I want to pull off a convoluted plan to kill Shining Armor?” She asked plainly.
You simply grinned, knowing she was joking. “Then I’ll eat him to help dispose of the body. I could make tacos. I fucking love tacos.”
“What are tacos? Some kind of human thing? We have the weirdest after-sex conversations.” Cadence replied as she laid down on her back.
“Yeah, but I find that the most natural things work out the best. Would you rather hear me spout some romantic cliché things and then make remarks about how your beautiful flower pleasured me to no end?”
“Oh, Celestia no. Please don’t, that’s just one of the reasons why I…” She paused for a moment and blinked a few times before looking at you with a worried face.
You just smiled back. “Me too, Candy. Don’t worry about it.”
Cadence sat there in silence for a little bit. “Alrighty, either way, you better clean up, mister. We got some things to learn and go over, and I have to make sure you understand Sinderion’s formulas and why he was so influential.”
You got up off the bed and moved to her bathroom to clean up a little bit. You didn’t want to go back out of her room smelling of sex and Cadence at the same time. You looked back at the mare as she set up a table with a few books. She looked down for a second before perking up again with a little smile on her face.
She turned around and smiled before she lifted her tail up, giving you a fantastic view of a creamy mess and a jeweled heart. “Hurry up! I want to clean up a bit too before I call for tea.”
You gathered up your clothes before letting your pretty pink pony princess into her own bathroom. “If you make a single joke about me enjoying cream in my tea I swear I’ll throw you out the window.”
“You throw me out the window and there won’t be any cream to give.” You joked as you pulled up a seat.
Cadence seemed not to give you any recognition for your comment, which was her way of saying ‘I found that funny but I am not going to tell you that’. It was funny how you have been able to nail down her little mannerisms in the time you have spent with her. Waiting for her made you think over what she said, or really what she implied with her hesitation to finish her thought. Thinking on it more, it made a lot of sense, and you didn’t lie to her. It came naturally, something that you knew developed over time.
You were an idiot who fell in love with the princess.
So much for simple sex, right? You honestly did like Shining Armor, but knowing that Shining was with Cadence didn’t feel terrible, except for this moment. Could you fuck him over because you were in love with Cadence? Well, you technically were anyways, while having an affair with his wife. The question of whether or not Candy was going to leave him for you was also in your mind as well.
You sat there for another moment. You could leave this be and let her make her own decision, finding peace in knowing that she would either chose you or be with Shining Armor. It took you less than a minute before making your decision. You were in this with Cadence to the very end. If you were going to be with her then you two have to be a team together. She wanted to fuck you behind Shining’s back for a reason and it wasn’t because you had fingers. You didn’t want to be the same guy making the same mistake.
When you saw Cadence leave her bathroom, you perked up instantly. That was almost the moment for you that you knew that you weren’t going to let her go. You were going to be the one that she could count on and you two wouldn’t even think of cheating on eachother. She honestly was everything you could ever want in a partner anyways.
Cadence was also a huge freak in the sack and gave blowjobs that porn stars could only dream of giving. That was a huge plus. You couldn’t lie to yourself about that one.
“Cadence honey, I have come to a decision.” You simply told her.
“Oh really? You must have, since you usually don’t address me like that. What did you decide on?”
You didn’t take a deep breath to calm yourself. You didn’t go over what you were going to say. You didn’t even do that cocky little smile that you did every now and then. None of that stereotypical bullshit that you were sick of hearing about in trashy romance novels.
“I have decided I am not going to let you go. I’m going to be your new husband.”
She perked up, probably not knowing if you were joking or not. “Oh you are? Now why would I leave my Shining Armor for you?”
She must have thought she was playing along. “Simply because right now you are with me. You were in conflict with him before you and I were even an item, so you went looking for something you couldn’t get with him. We have been together for a bit over four months officially as an affair, being with each other and honestly I can’t see why you would be with him over me.”
She looked shocked, you couldn’t tell what exactly she was thinking about, so you just kept going. “You know exactly who I am and how I act. You know more about me than anyone ever has. I don’t promise you the moon. I don’t promise that every single thing will be roses and happiness. You know what is going to happen. Ponies are going to be confused, some royal feathers will be ruffled and somebody is going to raise a stink about it.
“So what I do promise is that I’ll be beside you. I’ll do my best to be that guard that you always depended on, and the friend that you want to be with. I’ll support you as best as I can and try my best to make my mare happy.”
Tears were almost pouring down her face but Cadence held on. “What about Aunty Luna and Celestia?”
“They are both over a thousand years old and have been with more lovers than you or I know. Besides, you are the Princess of Love, they'll trust in you either way. You are an adult and we are making adult decisions.”
She snorted. “Some Princess of Love I am. I cheated on my husband and fell in love with another man. How could I possibly have that title now?”
“Celestia doesn’t know that the sun is powered by nuclear fusion, and eventually you ponies will figure that out. The moon is a huge rock in the sky and Luna is probably influencing a mastery of an illusion spell to rearrange the night sky. They don’t fully understand their own titles as well, but it doesn’t mean that they are lesser in any way. You don’t fully understand love and honestly, I don’t think anybody - or pony - ever will. The Beatles once said the love you take is equal to the love you make. Everypony loves you Cadence, and that is because you do so much.”
You reached over and booped her on the nose. “So, don’t worry. Ponies will be pissy for a little bit but they will respect your decision. I will too, so, how about you relax, teach me about some dead pony’s views on alchemy. Now aren’t you gonna order some tea?”
Cadence planted her flanks on a cushion. “No, after all of this we are going to order some wine.”
Her horn lit up and you heard a little popping sound, which you assumed was the sound-dampening spell she cast whenever you were in her room. You rang a little bell and within five seconds a little mare came in dressed as a maid. You took a mental note to make Cadence dress up as a maid at one point.
Cadence asked for a bottle of wine and a few snacks for you both to have when you studied up on potions. The mare cutely curtsied, left the room and the soundproof spell went up again. “You know, I can also use the wine as an excuse for potion theory applications too, now that I think of it. Now I want to thank you for everything you have done and everything you have said so far…”
That was certainly a long pause and you felt like your heart stopped for a second there.
“...but I am just not going to be able to come up with an answer now. I certainly adore you and your passion but… it is very complicated and-” You cut her off by placing a finger on her muzzle.
“I get it Candy, it is fine. You will let me know when you are ready. For now let’s focus on the lesson at hand and we will see where it goes, okay?”
She nodded and smiled. “Sure, let’s do this. Somepony has to drill this into your thick skull at some point and I guess I can do a fairly good job.”
You smiled and relaxed as the maid brought in some wine, cheeses and some cookies. You took the glass and took a sip.
Damn, you could get used to this.
~.oO---Oo.~
You knew the day she made her choice.
The patrols that you were doing were getting colder over the week, and snow was coming in through the shield. Cadence did absolutely magnificent disaster control for the entire thing too, citing a winter festival over the next few weeks to increase tourism. You didn’t see hide nor fur of Shining Armor and you were concerned that you actually were going to eat pony tacos until you were notified that he left for Canterlot.
Today was the coldest day so far, and something in your gut told you that he left for good. Well, as good as he could before ponies did whatever they did for their divorces. You were going to probably be involved in all of that, and you didn’t mind. You signed up for this the first time you kissed Cadence.
Today was actually a good day for it being so cold. Ponies were getting into the swing of the impromptu festival. They were walking around in cute little coats and scarves while enjoying hot drinks. Foals were making snowmen, which to you was weird since they actually called them ‘snowmen’ still, too.
You yourself were freezing your ass off. Since you were up north, your armor was made to be insulated against the cold, but being out here for six hours certainly made a difference. You couldn’t wait until your shift was over. You were heating up your hands and keeping an eye out when the pony you were on patrol with simply asked “isn’t that the Princess over there? What is she doing without her guards?”
You looked over to see Cadence looking through every pony as if she was searching for something. You could faintly tell that she was previously crying, and her mane was just a little bit out of place. You decided to move a little bit away from the stands you were near and into the crowd so she could see you.
You wondered what you two will do, how much of a ripple you’d make in the royal family. You thought on how you could be a better person and a better partner to Cadence. Over the last week you went over everything you could think of to make sure that you did indeed made a right choice.
Then you saw Cadence’s face turn from a frown to absolutely beaming when she saw you.
You didn’t feel cold anymore.

Author's Note
Obviously Cadence is messing around with you so often that she doesn't have time for Shining Armor and getting knocked up. So don't bring that up. Otherwise you are implying that you aren't talented enough to keep her from going back to a thirty second stallion :P
I do hope you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading it.
