Nocturnal Emissions

The latest homecoming filled Shining Armor with ambivalence. He both wished to see his wife and daughter more than anything, and simultaneously dreaded what he had to relay. His beloved was thoughtful and understand, and hardly minded, nay, even encouraged him to seek out affairs. However those were mainly physical. What would be her reaction when he admitted he'd started to fall in love with another mare?

Despite her reservations Sunset couldn't be allowed to wear her leash out here in the open, not when so many citizens would see them. They waved at them while they passed down the pristine streets; most probably figured she was simply here on an important mission. There was another nation-wide fair underway, this time altered to suit the subtle and not-so-subtle bits of propaganda placed all over by Cadance; sensuous signs that encouraged the populace to breed often as possible. Once the often inflexible stallion would have balked at the idea. Now it simply charmed him.

So busy was he observing the subliminal messages that a sudden hoof on his muscular buttocks almost went unnoticed. He flushed furiously, the playful strokes tracing his flanks, and swatted her hoof aside with a swipe of his tail. "Not in public," he whispered.

Sunset frowned but relented. "It's only...I'm afraid I won't ever be able to touch you again, after today. What if Cadance is furious with us? Not that I can blame her. I'd want to keep that heart all to myself too!" She touched his chest, only for a moment.

He smiled back at her and squeezed her hoof once. "She's always been understanding. It's one of the reasons I feel in love with her. She won't be mad...I hope."

They made their way to the palace. He saluted the Royal Guardsmen on duty who returned the gesture. The maids that staffed the corridors bowed to him, some in an incredibly flirtatious manner, hopeful for the day when he would bed them, and receive the honor of bearing his foals. Foal-Bearer and Wet Nurse in particular studied him with salacious expressions; a reminder he could slip away and breed them at any time.

Fantasies ran through his mind, maybe a threesome with them and Sunset later, or an orgy with all the maids in the hallways, but he shook those away, reminding himself why he'd come today. He could satisfy his more primal needs later. He needed to see his family after such an extensive absence and likewise wished to confess the truth.

He stopped outside the double doors to the throne room. His hoof met hers as they drew strength from the warmth of one-another. He couldn't put this off anymore. "No time like the present," he said using his telekinesis to throw open the doorway.

Cadance sat on her throne with Flurry Heart held within her arms. She smiled at the pair as they walked the carpet to approach. "Welcome home! I've missed you so much!"

"I've brought a special envoy from Canterlot. I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. Any allies of the Crystal Empire are always welcome. She's very beautiful. I should know." She tittered quietly. "I helped your sister select her for a very special mission." The pair of them blushed and stared at their reflections on the crystalline floor.

"I must speak to you in private. Dismissed," he said to his soldiers who filed out.

Sunset's horn radiated when she closed the doors behind them with a creak. "W-we..."

Cadance shushed the foal that stirred in her arms, tenderly placed her in a crib, and sang to her as she tucked her in. "Please, we're all friends here. Whatever you have to say, I'll understand. And from your demeanor I know it must be important?"

Sunset swallowed and nodded once as she continued to avoid her eyes. She wasn't intimidating at all compared to Celestia or Luna; on the contrary she was quite approachable. Even still she couldn't stop shaking to the point where it was difficult for her to remain upright. "I...I'm...I've f-fallen in love, with your husband." She winced.

"And I've fallen for her too. Not that I love you any less," he quickly added.

Cadance's expression was neutral for a moment. For a moment the atmosphere was heavy with unspoken tension. Then she cracked a wide smirk. "I always knew you'd take a mistress or two if I didn't let you sow your oats, but I never expected this!"

The ice broke completely as the trio shared a laugh. The Princess of love pulled them into her warm and soft embrace. "Consider yourself part of the family now," she said with a kiss planted on Sunset's forehead. "Perhaps you'd be up for a ménage à trois sometime? I'd certainly appreciate the company of such a lovely mare."

Sunset happily squirmed as her hooves stroked her mane and she nuzzled the couple. "I hope this isn't too forward, but can...can I stay with him today?"

"Of course! I trust my husband more than anypony."

He kissed them both. "I really am the luckiest stallion ever! I've missed you terribly," he admitted. "Flurry Heart, too. I won't be much of a father if I'm never there for her!" He released them, sauntered over to the crib, and beamed at the product of their union.

He lifted Flurry Heart into his arms and pressed her to his muscular chest. She was so tiny and warm. He listened to the pitter-patter of her heart and tried not to think too hard about the darkness that supposedly encroached upon Equestria. According to the Princesses the disaster was far off in the future; so why did he feel like it could spill out into the open at any time? Was this premonition simply down to dutiful paranoia?

*****

Later that night Shining Armor retired to his room with his wife and mistress in tow. They dimmed the lights as the moon settled over the Crystal Empire and tucked his tired body into the covers. He shot them a dopey smile. Whenever he was off-duty he could act like a big colt; lucky for him his love found it quite charming. Now that he'd settled in, how tired he truly was hit him all at once. It took more out of him than he thought to make love with so many mares. He needed more time to replenish his reserves.

"Sure you don't want to join us?" Sunset half-lidded her eyes and slowly traced the curves of his wife's slender back. "We'd love to bathe that sexy body!"

He tried to rise and winced as the soreness hit him all over at once. "Sorry.... I'd love to really, I promise." And that wasn't a lie. The idea of a shower with them made his loins stir. "But I'll more than make it up to you two in the morning, I promise!"

"I'll hold you to that," said Cadance with a peck on his temple. The mares turned and headed towards the bathroom, hips swaying and tails swishing to show off their goods, their walk cycle painfully slow and measured, in hopes he would follow them.

They left the door open and the curtains drawn aside as they turned on the hot water and soaked beneath it. A thin mist of steam rose about the mares who sensually lathered each other up in suds of soap. While they couldn't see him too well from their angle, they made certain he had an incredible view. His penis started to slip from its dark sheath. He stroked it slowly despite the fact that he needed to recharge.

Just a bit of fun he told himself. He could edge for a while and achieve a dry orgasm. He'd certainly learned how to hold back for quite sometime after all the mares he'd seeded. He watched them trace each other all over, their pert buttocks, shapely hips, buxom bosoms, and their delicate flowers. Their snouts locked in passionate kisses.

"Mmmm...you have a lovely little body," mused Cadance. "Those perfect tits and ass, that nice little snatch..."

"Yours is even better," teased Sunset. "Those curves so soft and plush..."

He touched himself a little faster and whimpered with need. Imagining himself giving them both the dicking of their lives, he nearly tossed his load which dribbled down his flare, but instead bit his lip and held it in, until his dark ponut clenched hard from stimulation. He blinked several times as his eyes became heavier and heavier.

Within moments he drifted into a peaceful slumber, his limbs played wide to cover the wide bed. The almost inaudible clop of hooves sounded as a pair of mares approached. In the haze of his mind's eye he saw Celestia and Luna hover over him.

He tried to speak and rise but found his now pleasantly tired body wouldn't respond. They shared a lascivious smile between them, bent forward as they pressed their snouts to his stallionhood, lazily and sensually lapped at the dark and veiny meat. "A-ah," he murmured and strained as he nearly came immediately. To his shame he'd fantasized about the untouchable Princesses a number of times but knew it would never happen.

"T-this isn't p-possible," he murmured dreamily as they raised their heart-shaped backsides and casually traced his length. Sultry half-lidded eyes studied him, their faces flushed, their hooves buried between their sister's legs, as they masturbated one-another. He laid sweaty and naked under their tender ministrations.

He saw Cadance approach from the distance. Wasn't she still in the shower with Sunset? Odder still was that she wore a heavy collar connected to a heavy linked chain.

She lowered herself to the floor with her lovely ass raised to the air. A heavy shadow approached and fell over her. Glowing irises materialized in the darkness. A demonic crimson horn rested amidst a wild ebony mane. "Sombra? Cadance, run!"

He tried to work a spell but like his body the horn refused to respond. Worse still the should-be dead tyrant mounted her, and she blissfully lolled under his his powerful bulk. He drew back the chain. Bit her on the nape of her neck to assert his dominance.

She whimpered and flushed unbelievably bright and met his disbelieving stare with a dreamy one of her own. To sleep with another stallion was one thing, as he'd certainly had his share of affairs with her permission, but with an evil monster like Sombra of all stallions? Worse still she seemed determined to show he was an even better lay.

Sombra kept her pinned in place with his snout clamped around her neck as he bucked relentlessly into her. His nostrils flared as she moaned whorishly. "Oh Sombra...ah...your cock is even thicker than Shiney's!" She writhed under his dark musculature. "Plant your potent seed in my warm garden! Fill my womb up with foals worthy of your unmatched masculine power!" Her eyes rolled into her head.

"C...Cadance would never say that! Would never do that!" Again he attempted to rise only for his muscles to lock up. Worse still the sun and moon Princesses lapped at him faster-and-faster, and he was left helpless to do more than writhe in sheer bliss.

"N-no...no..." He wheezed and clenched up as his his seed oozed from his urethra. His penis continued to throb with release as the sisters lapped his mana up, and at the same time, Sombra and Cadance cried out as he sunk fully inside her upon their shared release. Her plume excitedly parted to its full span and her horn sparked and sputtered.

"I love you, Sombra! I never would have believed somepony could satisfy me more than Shiney! All of me is yours, now and forever, my handsome stud of a master!"

He wailed and shot up, still dazed and half asleep, continued to wail haplessly. He'd never felt so powerless in his entire life. Foal-Bearer and Wet Nurse, the pair of maids turned succubi under a spell from their mistress, had evaded Luna's presence to invade his dreams. They had slurped up his mana in the shape of the Princesses and now quietly slipped away. Not that he was in any state to take real notice of them.

His lovers were still soaked wet once they rushed into the bedroom. He trashed about like a mad pony and continued to wail. "S-Shiney," cried Cadance with tears in her eyes as she rushed to his side. "What's the matter?! Please, let us-"

"Princess wait!" But before Sunset's words could be heeded, he lashed out blindly, his hoof smacking her across the face so hard she was launched across the room. Her head connected with a wall and she dropped into a crumpled heap. "Oh no!"

Tears ran down Sunset's cheeks when she raced to the Princess side and squeezed her hoof. "Oh thank Celestia...I think she'll be okay. She's only fainted." She levitated a pillow over to Cadance and carefully placed it under her head.

Convinced that she would be okay for the moment, her attention turned back to the stallion, as she carefully trotted back to his side. She tried to think of some way to help him and conceded she'd likely have to seek out outside help. "Just hold on, I'll-"

Powerful hooves plucked her up like she was a feather and tossed her onto the bed. She froze up in wide eyed surprise as a distraught and crazed Shining Armor towered over her. He used a knee to pry her thighs open, and her mounds heaved, her flesh paralyzed as his had been as his dick poked exploratively at her slit.

"W-wait. This isn't the time...ah!" She cried out as he seized her ankles to lift her legs so far back her hind hooves were around the sides of her head, and he violently thrust his cock into her cunt which reflexively moistened in response, to the point where he bottomed out with such force he slammed into her cervix. She whimpered tearfully.

The bed creaked noisily as he fucked her hard with brutal thrusts. She realized he needed her. Terribly. That perhaps the release her body could provide was the only thin sliver between the loss of his sanity; he clung to whatever was near for any shred of comfort. She wrapped her limbs around him tight in order to better take his length into her. "Take me, Shiney!" She happily submitted to his ravishment. She had to admit it felt wonderful to be so desired and needed. That she alone could heal his wounded heart.

It was a bit more painful than she usually liked, but desire quickly overwhelmed that, to the point where splashes erupted from her folds under each needy buck. She whinnied with watery eyes and wondered how Flurry Heart, who was placed in a crib the next room over, could peacefully sleep amidst all this noise. Groans escaped clenched teeth as he buried himself deep as he could once more. His hot seed filled her wet pussy and leaked from her folds and onto her puckered anus which contracted with release.

She heaved and he pulled out. But before she could rest for more than a moment, he flipped her onto her belly, and pressed his weight on her as he lined up his still hard stallionhood. "M-more?!" He bit the nape of her neck hard to make her submit, not that she would have resisted now. Nevertheless she cheerfully went slack under his dominance as he mounted her and started to tirelessly fuck her hard some more.

The still half-asleep and partially out-of-his mind Shining Armor needed comfort to banish the nightmares, his front hooves pressed over her own to hold her down, in order to further assert his dominance and prove to himself he was still in control.

She surrendered totally to euphoria. Lost count of how many times he ravished her in a number of positions over the hours. She'd never felt more fulfilled in her entire life. Her supple body was completely at the mercy of her love to do with as he wished.

To her relief Cadance eventually stirred and her eyes sleepily came back into focus. A smile crept onto her snout when she watched her husband forcefully take a blissfully limp Sunset. She moaned low and rubbed her sloppy pussy and clit.

Eventually she joined the pair, wrapped her hooves around his barrel as she pressed her breasts upon his muscular back, offered him love and warmth. He softened at her tender touch. They would help him back from the brink no matter what it took.
