Ulfer had been in the pews of the church, praying for forgiveness for thoughts that the heat had caused, when she had come. She claimed to be a priestess. To be of his kind, and when the two spoke, she was quite intelligent in the ways of faith. However, behind those kind words and solemn vows was a darkness that threatened to devour him. Only at the last second did he avoid being captured by her charms, but the memory of her tricks, and what she got away with the chaste Paladin, was not to be gotten rid of so quickly.

Shining Armor sighed as he walked up to Street Trotter 2: Turbo Edition. It was a new machine in the arcade, and one he hadn’t gotten his hands on yet. After all, trying to get Cadance had been an expensive endeavor, let alone the time of it, but now that that was over, and his mom gave him an oddly large amount of money to not mention yesterday to dad, he was gonna have his fun. After all, he considered himself a master at the vanilla game, so this was gonna be exactly the sort of distraction he needed from his thoughts. Plus, beating others in the arcade was always a nice little ego boost too.

Yeah, Shining was all too happy to follow his friends’s advice this time as he began to play. To take his mind off of everything and just to enjoy himself. Gaffer even promised a few rounds later, though that was probably in case someone completely stomped Shining, as Gaffer was anything but good at fighting games. Not that that mattered, not as he heard the clack of a bit on the machine. “Give me one se-”

Shining’s heart leapt into his throat as he glanced to the side, his eyes widening at the mare beside him. A glance like his would make one think she was likely the mom of one of the younger colts that came to the arcade, as she was more than well grown for a mare of her age. Add to that the fact that she wore the same sorts of mom jeans and t-shirts that you saw most frustrated parents come in with, it wasn’t unreasonable. Above all else though, just the fact that she was beautiful, and with a rack dangerous enough to be considered a weapon, she appeared at first to be out of place.

Then you looked further at her, which Shining did as his hands moved on their own, going through the routines as he continued to crush Ken. Her shirt was a Legend of Epona one, with . Navi on one of her Hyrule Fields shouting on the other one, “Hey, eyes up, Epona,” which you wouldn’t find in any of the normal shops in town. Maybe Trot Topic. That would also explain where her purse, which had various Sailor Scouts on it, ahd come from, or her multiple Dragonball Z bracelets. She was a nerd by look, and yet also so out of place.

She merely smiled at him and then slid next to him as he won, her ass bumping against him, but it didn’t make him budge. That only made her giggle harder though as she tucked in part of her long, brown hair. “Well, looks like my booty can’t quite beat a royal guard, can it?”

Shining blinked a few times as he finally snapped out of his stupor and asked, “Well, I’m not a guard ye- Wait, how did you know I wanted to be one?”

The scotch mare rolled her eyes as she chose Chun Li for her own character. “Oh, come on. Just because I don’t make it to this arcade usually doesn’t mean we can’t go to the same school, does it, Shining?”

“How do you know my name?”

The mare frowned a little as she tilted her head to the game. “Maybe if you beat me, I’ll let tell you.”

Shining smirked at the challenge, before going with Ryu, just as he always did when he needed to take things seriously. After all, he had so many questions right now, and, well, he was a little distracted too. After all, the mare was standing too closer, which left their hips against one another, and her breasts almost brushed against him arm when he had to move for the last button on his side of the cabinet. Not that he dared allow it and suddenly getting her to shout at him, but he couldn’t really get himself to bring up the fact that she should move. It was an accident after all, right?

Not that he let it get to him that much, especially when after she broke his aggression early and almost forced him into a corner. The mare was good, he could see that, and at first she seemed to be a good bit better than him. Shining wasn’t too unused to her style though, because some people thought aggression was the same as skill. He just had to be patient, block when the time was right, and while he gave up the first round-

“Oh come on! You only beat me because you were using Ryu!”

Shining grinned at her as he folded his arms. “I bet I could beat you with this whole roster. Ryu is just the easiest for me.”

The mare stopped raising one of her eyebrows at the statement before a smile creeped onto her lips, and she laughed like Kefka, shaking Shining to his core with the noise. “Oh? Well then, if you can do that, then I’ll give you a reward, what do you say?”

Shining bit into his lip for a moment, before snapping back, though with none of her confidence, “Don’t you already owe me something already?”

The mare chuckled more as she chose Chun Li again. “I only said maybe, but I’ll at least give you my name: Love Tap. Happy?”

Shining opened his mouth, ready to tell her no, but she was also really good at the game. In fact, better than any of his friends, easily, and with the promise of a reward from such a pretty mare… Well, maybe he could get a kiss! Yeah, that sounded amazing! “Alright, Love, I’m game.”

And he ignored her as best as he could. Ignored the times she’d bump her rump, or turn a bit to make sure that his arm brushed against his arm. Ignored the cute words and little huffs she would give as she tried to distract him. After all, while she was one of the prettiest mares he had ever gotten to play with, she wasn’t by any means a new sort of mare for him to have to deal with. In fact, as a squad leader for his class he had to deal with a firebrand who had been held back a year, and his platoon leader, both of whom he… Shouldn’t be thinking about like this! Still, his platoon leader and his sergeant would be happy to see him using his guard’s pony focus so well like this!

Then again, they would also both scold him for doing so for a possible kiss, but that wasn’t important to him in the moment.

What was important to him was that the were down to Bison as the final character he had to beat her with. He had a pretty solid strategy for it already, but he was nervous. After all, he hated playing as the villain, so he knew Bison the least. However, after going through the rest of the roster, he knew how she played her, and he could think of a couple ways to shut her down pretty simply. If those failed him… Well, it’d be trouble.

Love Tap on the other hand had apparently decided upon two things. The first was that she would show off that she had fast enough hands to play this one handed somewhat competently. The second was that she wasn’t gonna lose, to him or to his focus. After all, she was the queen of lower Canterlot’s arcades in every way, and this guards pony wasn’t going to ignore her! Especially with what he was going to get if he actually managed to win.

So, Love Tap decided to forgo the basics of social etiquette, fair play, or decency, and as the final rounds began, dove her left hand straight down the front of Shining’s pants.

Shining, for his part, took it well. After freezing up through a spinning kick straight to the face, he got out through gritted teeth, “W-What are you doing?”

Love Tap pouted a bit, further annoyed at just how much he had ignored her by the fact that only now was he beginning to get hard, like some stupid, wonderful, video game protagonist. She didn’t stop though, especially since he was currently distracted enough that she was beginning to get some damage in, something she hadn’t even managed to do when he had played Ken. Well, that wasn’t the only reason she thought to herself as she tried to make sure she herself didn’t get distracted by what she saw in her peripherals.

After all, the noble knight of Canterlot University apparently did wield the same longsword that he trained with on him at all times from what she held in her hand. She almost wanted to call it a broadsword with its girth, as her fingers barely came over the sides of it, and she had felt like she was lifting a ten pound weight when she had pulled it out of his sweats. Now that she was able to slide her hand along the shaft, feel its pulsing veins against her fingers, and see the first drop of precum at the end of it… “C-Come on. The same handicap each match would be boring. This, uh, makes it more interesting, right?”

Interesting was definitely one word for it, and Shining groaned as her hand continued its assault. It felt a million times better than his own did, probably helped by the fact that the girl obviously didn’t work out every single day like he did. No, she had none of his rough calluses, but instead had thin digits that could trace his veins as they slid along his throbbing member. His own hips didn’t help with his focus as they thrusted against her palm, barely avoiding slamming himself right into the machine. In fact, with how good she seemed at this, all he was gonna need was another… Few…

“Round, start!”

Shining glanced back up, his eyes blinking a few times as he remembered that they were still playing, and that she was doing this in order to win! What sort of pony did that? What sort of pony would decide that giving a stallion a handjob was worth a victory in a video game?

And, as his hands gripped the controls tightly and his resolve hardened, what sort of pony wasn’t willing to just enjoy a handjob so that he might be able to beat somepony else at a video game?

Not that it was that simple of course. Love Tap was only playing with one hand, but Shining’s reaction time was shit. It was only made worse as he started to properly push against her in the game, and she decided to start pulling out new tricks of her own. The first was her thumb coming away from the rest of her fingers. It sought out his tip like some sort of demon from hell, and its soft caress made Shining groan, only for him to look back up to find another whirling kick slamming into Bison.

When a thumb wasn’t enough, Love Tap moved her whole hand to his tip, her fingers caressing it with such love, before her palm pressed against it. He could feel ever muscle in her palm squeeze and press against the tip, and he panted as sweat poured down his face in response. He didn’t dare cum though, mostly because he thought if he did, he might simply collapse. That, and it was the principle of all of it. That he could beat her without cumming…

Shining blinked for a moment as he considered how he never thought he’d think something even remotely like that, and finally put Chun Li into the ground for his first victory. He only got the respite of course because Love Tap pulled her own hand away from his cock, which was almost in pain at this point. For a second, he thought she must have been done with her attempt, something he wasn’t certain if he was happy about.

And then her shirt fell on his head.

For a second, he thought about not pulling it off, but as the announcer warned the start of the fight, and Tap’s hand found itself firmly on his cock again, he decided to use it to his advantage. He pulled it off half of his head, cutting off his peripheral vision of her, and only saw the screen.

Only saw the victory he was desperate to make happen as fast as possible.

The last fight lacked the elegance of all of their rest. At this point, the two players were a panting, grunting mess as they played. Punches fell hard one after another, with Love Tap abandoning all feigned interest in defence for pure aggression. Shining barely even noticed though, as her hand had done the same, and his ears filled with the sound of skin slapping against skin as her hand squeezed every inch of his cock with each push and pull of her arm. Nothing but fast, frantic thrusts.

It was all too much, and Shining shut his eyes as he got Love Tap in a corner. His whole body shuddered as he mashed the same attack in over and over again. If she stopped attacking for even an instant, he was probably screwed, but he didn’t care. Her hand felt too good. His cock hurt too much. He just wanted release. Needed release. Needed to give into what Love Tap was giving him.

And as Love Tap’s hand went for the block button, he stiffened like a board, and she froze. The only part of her that moved was her hand as it squeezed the base of his cock and then followed along with his orgasm. Every part of her was focused on witnessing this. Seeing what all that pent up stress from the biggest dick she’d ever seen, and met possibly since he wouldn’t just let her win, could do.

She wasn’t disappointed either. As the words, “M. Bison wins!” rang in the two players ears, Shining’s cock exploded with cum. Thick, heavy strands of seed shot from his cock, only to splash against the gaming cabinet, painting Ryu’s face with his spectacular gift. Not that one could tell once he was done, as the front of it was now painted with more cum than artwork.

It was… A lot, for both of them, but it made Love Tap all too certain that, while she had said it to be coy, she couldn’t pull back now. No, she was too excited, having stripped down to her bra having not helped, and now turned away from him as she unbuttoned the front of her jeans. “Well, um, I… I promised you a reward, and,” as she pulled her pants down, her glistening wet pussy showing itself to her prince, “I bet you can see how excited I am to give it to you, so come get your cake, stud.”

“Yeah, sorry, but I’m only not banning you from the arcade because I’d have to ban Shining too, and somehow no one else saw you two.”

Love Tap glanced back, spotting the owner of the arcade standing over her, before seeing Shining Armor just at the edge of the line of gaming cabinets, pulling up his sweat pants and disappearing from view only a second later.

For a moment, she thought about cursing him for leaving her again, before a sick smile came to her lips. “Sorry, sir. I’ll go now.”

After all, she had preparations for her next little trap for him to make, because she enjoyed this game far too much to accept a game over now. No, she would make a Continue if she had to to play with that joystick again.

Author's Note

So, a things to comment on. First, I am really happy that you are all so excited to play along and leave comments for me. Usually, with the reception this got, a comment driven story would have died because it didn't have an audience, but I am more than overjoyed at the fact that you all are giving me so much fodder to work with, and please continue to do so.

Secondly, as a time thing, this was Sunday, so we'll be going back to school tomorrow. Keep that in mind for your comments.

Third, some of you may be surprised by some of the tags changing. I based them originally on the first chapter, but as I hope I made it clear in this one, this is meant to be much more light hearted and smutty, and I wanted the tags to better reflect that.

And finally: I realized as I brainstormed for this chapter, and this is part of why vixens became vixen for the corresponding comment, that I don't have a ton of canon characters to work with that are in Shining's age group. As such, I'm going to let you all know that I won't let that limit me too much, but don't expect a billion, baseless OCs from me either. My plan instead is to bring in Faux crossover characters. Ones who are obviously inspired by characters from other media, but are not named as such so people who don't know it don't feel as out of the loop. As an example: If I added Yoruichi from Bleach to this, I would name her Shun Po, and make her a sporty, playful, delinquent sort of character probably. Or a gym teacher. Trying to decide on that.

But yeah, sorry for the long author's note, just letting you all know I appreciate the comments, and letting you all know little bendings of the universe that I'm gonna do ahead of time so as to have the plethora of mares that Shining is likely to end up screwing and the like.

And in response to a comment, and using their example for a character a poll for you all. Would you like to see non-pony anthros for non-pony anthro characters like Tigress from Kung Fu Panda?
