CADENCE POV

Morning came slowly over the horizon and its rays once again hit my tired face "Ugh" I groaned as I forced myself to get up, rubbing the crust of last night's sleep from my eyes "Noire, wake up. We have to get ready," there was no response. I turned to my lover's side of the bed to find it empty as I found it yesterday "Weird. He should have been here by now. Where could he have gone to?" I teleported on a dress and regalia and left my room on a search for Noire. It was during my search that a guard told me of how Noire went to Tidal's room but never left "He must have fallen asleep in there. I should wake him up so we can try the enchanting," I teleported to Tidal's quarters where I looked at the empty chair and the empty display case where Storm Surge's sword was kept "Where did it go? Noire? Are you he-,"

Again. Again I found Noire with General Tidal Horn, innocently cuddling. As the princess of love, I would find this adorable. However, I was reminded that;
1) Noire is MY man.
2) I was still a little miffed for Tidal blaming me for Shining's betrayal
and 3) Tidal was in a COMA
so being the kind, understanding marefriend I was, I kindly and politely woke them up.

"WAKE UP" I yelled in the Royal Canterlot Voice waking Noire and, to my surprise, Tidal up, causing them to fall out of bed with a thump.

"Ow..." Noire murmured from his spot on the ground

"What the hell, princess?" said Tidal groggily as she and Noire got up. I was so shocked by Tidal being awake that I forgot that they were sleeping together. Tidal stood up and stretched her arms and legs before facing me with an annoyed expression "So, are you going to explain what that was about or are we going to stand here gawking at me being awake?"

I shook myself out of my daze and gathered my thoughts "Tidal? How in Equestria are you awake? You've been in a coma for ages," Tidal glanced at the still tired Noire and sat down. She explained everything that had happened when she was in a coma and how Noire had entered her mind accidentally and saved her. Noire discovering new abilities had given me hope that he was getting stronger and could stand a better chance against Grim and his incoming attack on Canterlot. However, I was soon reminded of both of them being in the same bed together "Wait for just a second! This doesn't explain why you two were sleeping together and why Storm Surge's sword is gone! Did someone steal it?!"

Noire took this opportunity to intervene "To answer that, I teleported her to Canterlot to give her mother back her sword and back. I passed out and Tidal let me sleep with her for the night. That was it; no funny business involved," he answered "However, with how hard she was holding onto me, I would say she was very eager to allow me to sleep with her," he mentioned with a cheeky smirk. Tidal's face turned a deep crimson and smacked Noire upside the head.

"DON'T MAKE IT OUT AS IF I LIKE YOU, ASSHOLE!" Tidal yelled. I was left shocked at how much Tidal had changed since we last talked. She was so cold and stiff before compared to now. She looked so... free, relieved of the weight of general and reduced to a simple mare.

"Who knew that the cold-hearted unicorn corps general was a tsundere?" Noire laughed out loud,

"And who knew the shy and unworthy newbie was such a perv? I could feel your head nuzzled between my ti-"

Before Tidal could finish, I stomped my foot and gave another yell in the Royal Canterlot Voice "OH MY GOD! SHUT THE BUCK UP THE BOTH OF YOU!" The two stopped arguing and looked at me as if I were a crazy mare, which I was close to becoming.

"Jesus, Cadence, you should calm down," Noire said.

"I agree with the newbie, maybe you should take some deep breaths," Tidal said. I could see my sanity dwindle as a strand of hair strayed from the rest of my still unkempt mane. Before I could completely lose it, Windy and Burning burst into the room, Windy armed with his longbow and Burning with an ignited fist. Seeing the scene in front of them, Windy just burst into laughter and Burning just stood down and left, having already understood what had happened. It was official;

"I have the most annoying guard in Equestria," I said as I turned and left, not bothered enough to teleport "Screw this, I'm going back to bed,"

After a much-needed rest and shower, I left my room ready to start court. Unlike the courts back in Canterlot, most of the requests I get are constructive such as rebuilding areas that had been abandoned. However, because some of the nobles decided to move here, I still get some silly requests like raising the temperature (which is something I wish I could do to stop them complaining but can't) or somepony accidentally stepping on their shoes. As for my 'mighty' generals, Burning and Windy we're with their corps training and Tidal were with Curdle for a checkup. Noire was in the armoury experimenting with what we've decided to name 'encoding' to see if we can apply this to our weapons.

As for me...

"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME, LORD NICKABOTOM, YOU LOWER CLASS SWINE!"

"AT LEAST I HAVE SOME CLASS, YOU UPTIGHT FOREIGNER! IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CLIMATE THEN LEAVE!"

Those were the days I felt more like a babysitter than a princess. I took a deep breath, exhaled slowly and opened the doors to another 'beautiful' morning court.

NOIRE POV

"I'm starting to have mixed feelings about coming up with this idea..." I murmured while I had my hand on a spear, several dozen to my side. I had gone down to the armoury and spoke to the blacksmith about the experiment with what we decided to call 'encoding', enhancing armour and weapons with the code, and he agreed enthusiastically as it gave him the excuse to make more weapons. Fortunately, the experiment was a success and we had a method of fighting Grim's army. Unfortunately, I had to do the same thing to the entire guard's weapons and armour. It didn't require much power to encode each armour set and weapon but do it for a few hundred and you're bound to get a little tired. "I swear to Jove someone better tell this is the last batch I have to do or else I'll fucking die," I said groggily, almost completely out of magic.

It was during my complaining that a fully armoured Tidal entered the room "Stop whining, newbie. This is a win: win for both you and the guards," I looked at her confused and she sighed "Didn't anyone tell you anything about magic? Okay, newbie, listen up 'cause I'm only saying this once; the more you use your magic, the more magic you'll be able to draw out and the same should be able to happen with your code since it is some primal form of magic or whatever," I nodded attentively and looked at the two spears left. I grabbed both of them and put my hand on them. The pink markings on my arms appeared again and I could feel the last of my magic transfer into them, making them glow pink before dying out, completing the encoding "Good, now we can both get something to eat now that I have a day off. I didn't get to eat this morning and Curdle's constant testing and questions about what it felt like to have someone in your head have drained me," she grabbed my hand and dragged my woozy ass to the cafeteria.

TIDAL POV

The cafeteria was a large room where the guard would often be found on their break. It looked similar to an outdoor cafe but designed similarly to the rest of the palace and with a lounge at the upper floor. Some of the guards were talking about how long their shift was while others were arm wrestling, the same old. When I entered the room, all of them stopped what they were doing and looked at me and the barely functioning bodyguard of the princess "Continue with what you were doing. This isn't a circus show," I said plainly as I sat Noire down and grabbed a pair of cucumber sandwiches and two cups of orange juice. Everypony had carried on with their business by the time I had taken a seat next opposite Noire. "Here, eat. You can't encode my armour on an empty stomach." I said, offering the human one of the sandwiches. He scarfed up the sandwich like an animal before choking on a large piece. I sighed and pushed the orange juice towards him "You've changed since the last time we talked,"

Noire put down his drink and looked at me confused "Really? I feel the same as I've always been,"

"From the occasions where I saw you with Cadence before the whole thing with the cap- I mean Shining Armour, you appeared to be a meek human who stayed in his lane. However, you've started to act more like you've been here all your life," I replied.

Noire put his hand on his chin in thought for a moment before responding "Probably because of Shining. With him wanting my head on a pike most of the time and the Chrysalis incident, I felt like I had to stay on my toes and not be too stupid lest Shining take it as an offence and start throwing magic blasts at my face. Even now, I don't feel out of the woods with Grim attacking in a couple of weeks but now I've got people I consider family now. Burning and Windy feel more like brothers to me now than when I first met them and thought of them as invincible warriors,"

"And what about me?"

"You're more like an annoying older sister,"

"Screw you, I'm 20,"

"Screw you, I'm 21," I huffed and folded her arms in a strop "You know I'm not the only one who's changed. You've changed Ifrom the strict, uptight general to the childish mare we all knew was inside you," Noire said, grinning mischievously. I glared at Noire but quickly cooled down. I looked at the clock and saw that our break was almost over.

"Come on, asshole. You've got a 300 spear quota to meet and we don't have all day" I said, levitating our dishes to the kitchen.

Noire slumped back into his chair "Seriously?! I swear if this keeps up, You're taking me out for dinner,"

"Don't push your luck newbie. Unless you want me to send you back to the infirmary with more bruises than Burning did to you. I am not as lenient as those other two," I smirked and looked back at the lazy oaf "Plus, you're the one who should be taking the mare out to dinner, especially your new marefriend. Have you taken her out yet?" The silence was all I received from Noire, answering my question for him "Idiot..."

"Shit..."

CADENCE POV

The night began to fall on the empire once again and I was just about done with ponies for one day. I did not think pony names were dumb until the world proved me wrong yet again with what I could only describe as the dumbest name I have ever had the displeasure of hearing. By then, all I wanted was to get to bed and get some sleep. I had just teleported in my room and was about to collapse onto my bed until I saw a flash from the corner of my eye. It was then I saw Noire looking exhausted "Um, hello, my love? What has gotten into you?"

"Come with me. I've got a surprise for you," he said through heavy breaths. I was about to ask where we were going but he just grabbed my hand and teleported me with him.

"Surprise!" We had arrived at the massage room in the castle's spa "I know you have been super stressed from work and we haven't gone out together for a while so I decided to treat you to a little treat! I've got fruit and the hands of a god so just sit down and relax," his offer was incredibly tempting. I was super stressed out and he was right; we hadn't spent much time alone together since our first time so why not have him treat me to a little something.

"Okay, Mr Handsy, treat me like a true princess and marefriend tonight," I said, holding out my hand for him to take. He bowed, gently held my hand like it was made of silk and led me to the massage beds. When I walked in, I was hit with the familiar scent of lavender from the dimly lit candles Noire had set up to make the scene more romantic "Lavender isn't my favourite but it is a close second, good for you," I said as I changed into a towel outside of Noire's view and laid myself down on the bed closest to me. Noire grabbed a bottle of massage oil and lathered his hands in it.

"What is your favourite scent then?" he asked. I gave him a sly smile and relaxed as he rubbed his hands together and began working on my legs. To say that he was good was an understatement of the millennia; he had the hands of a god that blessed my body with his touch.

"Ahhh~ Keep doing that well and you'll find out~," Noire kept massaging me up to my waist before stopping for a moment. I was about to ask why he had stopped but he had silenced by sneaking up my towel and massaging my nethers. I gave a loud moan of ecstasy as he went deeper into my folds, thrusting slowly but efficiently. This kept on for a solid minute before I noticed his pants barely hiding his erection. I decided that he had pleasured me enough and that it was time I returned the favour "I can see your raging hard-on back there, barely being able to contain itself in those troublesome clothes. Somepony should take care of that, don't you think~," I unbuttoned his pants, removing his underwear with my magic and before he could ask what I was doing, I had his cock in my magical grip. I used my magic to slowly rub his shaft, eliciting a moan from my beloved. He always sounded adorable when he did that.

"Cadence, I'm... close," he said

I smiled "Then cum...ahh... cum all over my candy ass, Shower my ass with your...mmm... love~," His cock heard my lustful plea and obeyed happily, spraying its juices all over my ass, painting it a thick white. However, I wasn't done with my handsome stud "Now do what you should have done a week ago. Fuck. My. Ass," I ordered to which Noire obliged. He spread my cheeks as wide as he could and pointed his dick right at my unclaimed ass. You heard it here everyone; Shining and I never did anal and it was bothersome as Tartarus. Shining was never bold enough to do it even though I asked on several occasions. Good thing my precious coltfriend was more than willing to give his mare what she needs. He pushed forward, slowly penetrating my ass and if I told you it was less than heaven than I would be slap myself. Anal was WAY better than what I heard from mares in the club and sex magazines and he hadn't even started yet. We had to wait a moment for my walls to adjust to Noire's length but it didn't take long until I finally relaxed and gave Noire the signal to start "Take me. Hard," He began thrusting into my ass with fervour, sending me into cloud nine. I couldn't think clearly with his pace sending ripples through my ass and up my spine, distracting me from any thoughts that didn't involve sex. "OHHH BUCK YES! KEEP GOING YOU STUD! FILL ME UP!"

"FUCK, CADENCE! YOU'RE SO TIGHT!" Noire grunted as he picked me up from the massage bed and pounded with gusto. I was almost at my limit and Noire looked seconds away from blowing his load all over this room so I used my free arms to rub my pussy, adding to my pleasure until I finally came, which put Noire over the edge, cumming buckets into my ass. He set me down on the floor. He soon joined me before kissing me on the lips "So how was the surprise?"

His silly question sent me into a fit of giggles "Look at my ass, dripping with your beautiful cum and think about what you just said," I replied

"Third rule of sex for men; Never assume you were good in bed. Makes you look shallow. Although from how frisky you were through that entire ordeal, I would have to say I did my job as your colt/boyfriend very well," Noire stated proudly "Now could you please teleport us to our room. I would carry you but I can barely stand,"

"Cool, I can't walk either," I said as I charged my horn for a teleport spell. Once we were teleported straight to our bed, we passed out in each other's arms. However, one last thought passed through our minds "I just realised we never announced our relationship,"

"Tomorrow," Noire answered before going to sleep.

"Great..." I replied lazily before going to sleep myself.

Been a bit since I have done a sex scene and I was wondering if I had gotten any better so comment on your thoughts and criticisms so I make you jerk off even better to these scenes ;)
