After dealing with cleaning up, drying myself, and dressing back up, I make my way towards the west wing where I can see Umbra in her chambers. As I walked up the stairs, by heart thumped; I was so nervous that I'm about to have sex with the queen herself. My mind is going crazy of what kind of sex act she wants to do with me. Does she like bondage? Does she like S&M? What's her kink? I guess I'll have to find out once I arrive at her chambers. I then made a stop to look outside the embrasure, the sun has disappeared behind the snowy mountains. Looking outside at that Mountain-side made me remember an old memory; the memory was that of when Teresa and I took that late hike in the woods. I wanted to shed a tear, but I held it back. I couldn't let Umbra see me crying.

As I make it up to the top, I stood in front of a dark red crystal door with sharp pointed red stalagmites pointing around the doors edges. I take a hand and gave the door a few sharp knocks.

"Is that you, Johnny?" said Umbra on the other side.

"It is, Umbra," I said, as I cleared my throat.

"Come on in. I have two surprises for you."

I gulped, as I reached the red ruby doorknob and gave it a twist to the left. I push the door slowly and what caught my eye was Umbra wearing velvet bra and panties. Her hands on the other hand were suspicious; she appears to be hiding something behind her back.

"Do I look sexy in velvet?" she asked, as she makes her way toward me.

"Like a model," I said, as I close the door behind me, "also, what do you have behind your back."

"Oh?"

She slowly brings her hands up and opens them to me. In the palms of her hands were what I could guess are fortune cookies. However, unlike a normal fortune cookie, these cookies had a strong sweet scent to them. They smell like a usual doughnut.

"These are fortune cookies that I got from earlier today. I wanted to share one with you once you came."

"Well... thanks Umbra."

I held out my hand, as she drops it onto my hand. Before eating, I crack mine open and pulled out my fortune. It read, 'you will find happiness with a new love'.

"Damn," I thought, "even the ponies are against me."

"What does yours say?" she asked.

"It says that I will find happiness with a new love."

"Oh? How unusual."

"What does yours say?"

Umbra cracks open her fortune cookie and reads it quickly.

"It says that I will find my one true somepony."

"That's cute."

"Looks like I'm gonna make both our fortunes come true," she said before throwing in the remains of the cookie in her mouth and chews away.

I did the same, as Umbra makes her way toward her bed and sits down by the end of it. She looks over to me with glowing eyes and with a lick of her lips.

"Come and sit," she said, as she pats an empty spot for me to sit.

"Okay," I said, as I make my way toward her and sat down.

My head was spinning; telling me that this isn't right. I shouldn't be cheating with my wife. I still love her and I'm about to break our marriage if I do this. My eyes began to go blurry as a tear begins to fall down my left cheek.

"Johnny," said Umbra surprised, "what's wrong?"

"This isn't right, Umbra," I said with a sniffle, "we're gonna have sex."

"What's wrong with sex? I like you and you like me."

"I'm sorry to say this, but I miss my wife a lot. She was my everything and now I'm lost to her. You remind me little of her, but I'm a married man."

Umbra looks away from me, but looks back at me with flopped ears.

"Am I ugly?"

"No! I never said you were! You're gorgeous, but I can't break my marriage. I know I haven't seen her in five years, but I just can't move on. It's difficult. What if you were married and you were transported somehow to another world and are being forced to fall in love with someone?"

"I... I never thought of it that way... I... I'm sorry."

I wipe my tear away and began to notice Umbra beginning to cry. Tears rolled down her cheek before she covers her face with her hands.

"Don't cry, Umbra," I said, as I put a hand on her shoulder, "why cry? There are plenty fish out at sea."

"It's... it's just that... I don't know who else to love, but you. You are the first person I fell in love with. You are sexy and you are kind to me. I've never felt this... what do I call it?"

"It's called love," I said, "you love me."

I scoot closer to her, as our skin touched one another. I wrap my arm around her, as removes her hands from her face and rests her head upon my left shoulder.

"You know; a good mare did tell me that I should move on. Perhaps I should. Even if I do like you, I'll lock away my memories of my wife behind. I need to keep the past behind me. In other words, hakuna matata."

"Hakuna... matata?" she said, as she takes her left hand and gently places it on my arm.

"It means no worries, Umbra. Many kids back home know what it means."

"I like the sound of it," she said with a giggle.

I make Umbra lock eyes with me and rest my hands on both shoulders.

"Umbra, I can tell that somewhere deep in you, you are a kind mare. Perhaps you can chill down with this whole world domination thing? It's making everypony think of you as a monster with no heart, but I don't see that. I see a mare who is lonely and doesn't have a pony to talk to. In short, I would like to be your friend and lover."

"Y-you would like to be my friend? Lover?"

I nodded, giving her a soft smile. She gives me a friendly smile before bringing her face close to mine and our lips touching one another. Her lips felt warm to the touch and could taste the cookie from a minute ago that we ate. I didn't care; the inside of her mouth tasted sweet. We pull away from one another to take a breath.

"I'd love to," I said, "but I want you to know that my love for my wife will be with me forever."

"I can handle that. I know you miss your wife, but you need to move on."

"Hehe. You're right."

Her eyes glow red, as she gives me a lustful smile.

"Also, I love when your eyes glow like that," I said, as I gave her nose a boop, "very sexy."

"Oh?" she said with a blush.

"And you are a sexy human."

I smiled before I wrap my arms around her back and her doing the same, but wrapping her arms around my neck. We bring our lips close to one another and began to go further deep into the kiss. Our tongues fought for one another, like a war to claim a kingdom. She brings her tongue further into mine, but is stopped, as I make it past hers and into the moist canners of her mouth. We pullout heads back, along with a strand of our saliva, but breaks. We look at one another and smiled.

"I love you," said Umbra.

"I love you too," I said, "let's make tonight worth it."

I take my hand and place it upon her leg covered breast, making her give out a squeak as I gave it a few squeezes. I grab the other and gave them both harder squeezes. Umbra tilts her head and moans, as I played with them. She takes her arms off of me and places them on her sides.

"Unhook my bra," she moans, "I love to feel your hands upon my skin again."

"As you wish, your majesty."

I take my hands off and bring them behind her back to unhook the bra. The bra comes off with a snap, making it flutter off her fur and onto her legs. Her large breasts are fully exposed, showing off her now hard pink nipples.

"They're double D's, in case you are wondering," said Umbra, as she pulls her breasts up and down.

"They look amazing and they are my favorite cup size."

"Really? Would you like to play around more with these puppies? Go right ahead."

I take my fingers and give her nipples a pinch, she squeaks loudly and grips onto the blanket.

"Why do my nipples?" she moans, as I give them another pinch.

"You did the same to me. I'm returning the favor."

I take my fingers away from her nipples and began to squeeze her breasts together before bringing my head close to her nipples and giving them flicks of my tongue. Her nipples felt harder than ever; her nipples are more sensitive than mine.

"You are such a tease," she moans, as she takes her hands and place them on my chest, "also, why don't you take your shirt off."

I pull away from her, as she takes her hands off of me. I grab the bottom of my shirt and pulled it off, revealing to her yet again my abs. I toss it aside and look back at her to see her drooling yet again over my chest.

"You're drooling again," I said, bringing Umbra back to reality.

"Am not!" she lied, as she wipes away the drool.

I bring my body close to hers, as her breasts squeeze against my skin, feeling not only her hard nipples, but her soft fur as well. I bring our bodies backwards till we lie on our sides and give each other more kisses. I give her a kiss on the nose, before she does the same. I give her a give her cheek a kiss, she does the same. Feeling her body against mine is bringing someone else for the fun: my member. I can feel my pants getting tighter until I notice the bulge.

"Are you excited?" she asks, as she looks down at the bulge, "I want to see your cock again, but this time, I want you inside me."

My member got harder than ever from her words; it was as if my member had a mind of its own. I got up from the bed and began to unbutton my pants, including my boxers before tossing both aside. As I look back at Umbra, I can tell she was ready too; her woman hood was getting her velvet panties all wet.

"Looks like I'm not the only one who's excited," I said, making her blush.

"How about you pull them off?" she asked.

"As the queen demands."

I grab ahold of Umbra's legs and pulled her down near the end of the bed, making her give out a little yelp. I grab the sides of her panties and slowly pull them down, showing her wet pussy that dripped with excitement. I toss them aside and grabbed ahold of my cock, ready for the real sex to begin.

"Are you ready, Umbra?" I asked.

"Yes, Johnny," she says slowly, "take me away."

I bring the head of my member and slowly pushed it in, making Umbra give out a gasp. I slowly stuck my member further in and feeling Umbra's inner crevices. Her pussy was like a magnet, forcing my cock to go further within her. She gasps ever so louder and grips onto her breasts.

"Your cock is within my pussy," she moans, "fuck me. Fuck me harder!"

I grab her hips and thrusted harder inside of her, making her moan along in the process. I love hearing the sound of flesh against fur; it was unusual, but it felt good. I can feel my body sweat, as drips of it fall from my forehead and a little onto Umbra's fur. With our bodies so close together, it feels as though we became one.

"I (hah!) love you (hah!) Johnny," she moans, as I picked up the pace.

"I (hah!) love you (hah!) too."

The sounds of our sex filled the room, along with the sound of the bed creaking back and forth. I take my hands off her hips and have them slide under her to carry her while fucking her. She gives out another squeak and the sex became more pleasurable for the both of us. I feel my cock touching her womb, as she wraps her hands around my neck.

"(Hah!) This feels (hah!) so good (hah!)" she moans, as her panting became more erratic.

I then began to feel it; the feel of cum building up within my cock.

"Umbra," I said, "I'm about (hah!) to cum!"

"Do it! Cum inside me!"

I fucked her as fast as I could before I grunted, releasing my man milk within her. I take our bodies to the bed and dropped her before I sat down at the end of the bed panting.

"(Hah!) That felt (hah!) amazing (hah!)," I panted before looking back at her.

Her pussy was leaking a little, as cum escapes from her pussy and drips a little onto the covers. She leans her head up at me and wipes the sweat from her forehead.

"Johnny (hah!) would (hah!) you like (hah!) sleep here (hah!) tonight?" she asks.

I smile and lay down by her side, giving her a kiss.

"I would (hah!) love too."

She smiles, as we both lie down and slowly drift off to sleep.

I open my eyes and look out to my right towards the balcony to see the sun shining brightly in the sky. That's unusual; usually the sky is mostly cloudy and there's little of sun around the kingdom. I look down to my right and notice that Umbra wasn't near me or within the room.

"Umbra?" I called out, but no reply.

I got off the bed and reached down to at least put on my boxers. I look back at the bed, but noticed a small note on the left drawer. I walked over and read the note:

Please wait in this room. I'm making us some breakfast for the both of us.

love you
- Queen Umbra

PS: Last night was amazing. You made me a new ruler/mare

I set the note down and went back to the bed and stayed under the soft velvet covers. I lean my head against the pillows and gave out a deep breath, then exhaled.

"What a night to remember."

Suddenly, the door opens, revealing Umbra wearing a dark black robe and holding onto a tray with a warm bowl of porridge.

"Good morning, sexy," she said, as she walks over the bed and hands me the tray.

I grab it, as Umbra gets under the covers and sits close to me. She gives me a kiss on my cheek before bringing the tray back to herself.

"Good morning, Umbra."

"You hungry?" she asks, as she dips the spoon into the porridge and brings it up to her mouth to be blown for cooling, "I made us some porridge to share."

She brings the spoon to me, as I take it into my mouth before she pulls it out.

"Does it taste good?" she asks.

"It's a bit bitter."

"Oh..."

"Don't worry. I'm not saying it's bad. It's good."

"Really?"

"Sure. My wife makes porridge just like you."

"What's she like? Your wife?"

"Little by little, you remind me of her. My wife was always teasing me, just like you. Both of you make bitter porridge and you both have the best rack than any other woman or mare I've seen."

"Oh? You like breasts, don't you?"

"I love breasts since I was a teenager. I never told my wife about this, but I'll tell you. When I was a teen, there was this girl with breasts the size of watermelons. Her name is Suzan and she's about a year younger than I. Every guy ogled her in school, including myself. One day, I made a bet with my friends that I should go up to her and grope one of her breasts. I was really to the challenge, but when I finally met her, I was so embarrassed that if I do this at school, I would be a laughing stock and a pervert to all the girls. Bailed on the bet and decided to give up."

"So what did you do?" she asked, as she takes a spoonful of porridge to her mouth.

"This happened unexpectedly. I was walking home from school and I was texting my mom that I'll be home in a bit. Home is about a mile and a half away and I like to walk to and from home to get some exercise. As I texted, I wasn't paying attention and I bumped into someone. The phone from my hand slipped and I couldn't bear to see my phone destroyed. I shut my eyes, but didn't hear a crash. I open my eyes and in front of me was none other than Suzan with my phone between her breasts. It was so awkward that I looked away. What I didn't expect, was Suzan grabbing my hand and placing the phone onto my hand. I never knew about Suzan, but I did learn that day that she was a sweet girl."

"Did you two go out after that?"

"We did, but that didn't happen until a month later. We became a couple and most of the boys became jealous of me."

"Hehehe. That's funny."

"We dated for about three more months, but things began to change when I caught her cheating me with some other buff dude. I was so pissed that I haven't dated ever since, until I became an adult and met Teresa, then finally, you."

"Don't worry, Johnny," said Umbra, as I took the spoonful of porridge into my mouth, "I won't ever cheat on you. You are too good to me than anypony else."

"Thanks Umbra. I love you."

"I love you too."

We both give each other a kiss and went back to eating porridge on a bright and sunny day, which made me want to know what's up with that.

"Say Umbra. Why's it so bright outside?"

"I feel as though this kingdom needs more sunlight. It's starting to look gloomy out there."

"Looks like somepony has gotten soft. I like it when you are such a sweet and kind ruler. Ponies will see you in a whole new way, just like me."

"You're right."

"I think it's time to make things a little less dark, eh?"

"Johnny, I shall take your advice. It's time that I become a much better ruler. I don't want ponies to fear me. I want them to see me as a kind and friendly ruler."

"That sounds perfect."

The Crystal Empire changed after that night; Umbra is now seen as a much friendlier mare. Crops and food began to grow much better and it tasted far better than it was than when I first arrived here. The crystal monsters that Umbra made are now smaller and less menacing. Dark crystals are now taken away from within and outside the empire and are put within the castle. Everywhere I looked, ponies looked so much happier than ever and were becoming friendly with one another. As for the family I lived with, they now live wealthier than ever in a bigger house where there is more room to run around in. It was nice of Umbra to let me go see them whenever I liked to; I told her that they were like a family I never had and their children are like the children Teresa and I couldn't have. It wasn't until a month later that I realized something about Umbra: she became pregnant with our child. I was so happy that I decided to marry her and become a new husband. I brought Umbra over to the family I lived with and they got along so quickly and Umbra was nice with the kids. On the day the baby came, it was a perfect and healthy mare; we gave her the name Umbella. Another thing I should add is that Umbra released the three imprisoned princess. Umbra allowed them to be free if they worked as her advisors; they knew they couldn't defeat her without the crystal heart. They accepted and were given three separate rooms within the castle. They seemed cold at first, but Umbra and the former princess did get along. Every once in a while when I come home from work, they were having a good time chatting away with whatever they liked to talk about. When the statue of Umbra was finished, it stood high and mighty as ponies walk by it or even look upon its grace. Whenever I look upon it, I smile and I say to myself, 'you did great, John. You did great'. I feel like I am the one responsible for making things better and I have; the empire has never looked much better.
