Hurt and Comfort, Sexual Healing

A cold sweat enveloped Shining Armor, who tossed and turned in his sleep, memories of what he'd done weighing heavily on him. He'd betrayed everything he stood for. he wanted to run away from it all but knew he could never escape from himself. He reached for his beloved only to find an empty space where she normally would have resided.

Cadance was busy with her own duties. She sent him a number of mares to keep him satisfied sexually and romantically, but he needed to stand on his own no matter how hard it sometimes seemed. Dawn had barely started to break when he opened his eyes and stretched wide with a yawn. Oh well. He was used to waking up rather early.

He took a short trip to the bathroom, splashed cold water on his face, emptied his bladder in the usual morning ritual. His reflection in the mirror was haggard, with dark bags under his eyes, which made him flashback to the time when Chrysalis had enslaved him. He'd almost never forgiven himself for that unintended affair. Cadance had told him he'd been raped, that there was no reason to feel ashamed, but nevertheless he felt the weight of that unintentional betrayal even still. His wife's unbelievable tenderness had helped him heal.

So lost was he in thought that the light clop of hooves almost went unnoticed. He turned to see Sunset Shimmer standing in the doorway to the bathroom with a sad smile. "You look terrible." She covered her mouth at her bluntness. "Sorry, that came out wrong. What I meant is you could use some serious tender love and care."

He forced a smile. In truth he was happy to see her but his mind couldn't stop wandering. "Sorry, I'm not sure I'll be up for anything too taxing today. I need some time."

Sunset headed over to him, so close he could feel her warmth, soak up her mild perfume. "I understand. But we're all worried about you. It's been a few days."

"What? I've been asleep all that time? I'd better-"

She placed a hoof over his heart to hear its pitter-patter. "Relax. Follow me." She led him back to his bedroom, seated him on the bed, and sat behind him as she started to massage his tired shoulders. He moaned low despite himself. "That's better." She draped herself upon his muscular back, to the point where her mounds brushed upon him.

"It...it does feel nice," he admitted as his tense muscles relaxed. "Mmmm. Lower."

She smiled at his command and slid her hooves to his chest. Likewise she became a little bolder, casually brushed her teats and nipples over his backside, and his stallionhood started to peak out a little despite his weak protests. "Oh," he whined. "Ah."

Lower-and-lower she traced his musculature, down to his belly, then to his abdomen, until she hovered right above his crotch. She peppered his ears and neck into tender pecks and suckles. His partially erect penis started to twitch. She figured he was probably fantasizing about her giving him a blowjob about now. "Let's not rush this yet. I invited a couple of friends to help you recover. Hope you don't mind, but I'm pretty sure you need it."

The doors were telekinetically thrown open by the unicorn, the signal that her companions were to head inside. Fluttershy meekly cantered towards him, her face mostly obscured by a thick pink mane to hide her blush, and at her side came Tree Hugger, who in contrast smiled like she was completely comfortable with herself. His loins immediately stirred at the idea that he'd soon be able to bury his dick deep inside these beautiful mares.

"Heya. I'm Tree Hugger. You already know Fluttershy." With a laugh she playfully slapped the yellow mare on the butt to send her forward.

"Eeep," cried Flutters who rubbed her backside with a wing and practically tripped as she stumbled forward. She shook a little and kept her eyes pinned down. "H-hello."

"Equestria needs its best and brightest to help breed a new generation, and Fluttershy confessed she wanted to lose her virginity, so I figured two birds with one stone, you know? Oh, sorry." The hippie knew how her friend hated any sayings that involved animal harm. "Since it's her first time we'll start if off nice and chill. Well, relatively."

Sunset planted her hooves on his well-toned legs and gradually parted them so that Fluttershy and Tree Hugger could lower themselves before him. She slowly traced his dick which stood to attention after blood rushed into its dark length. The mares on his knees before him were positioned so close he could feel their hot breath fall upon his shaft. They stuck their heart-shaped asses into the air with tails raised to further entice him.

Fluttershy pushed herself to boldly kiss the head of his cock. She blushed even brighter and smiled when he whinnied low in appreciate and twitched so hard his dick mildly smacked her chin. "Oh my," she murmured as a bit of precum stained her lips.

"That's the spirit. Work it, you bad mare." Unlike her companion Tree Hugger had no reservations as she started to drag her tongue up-and-down one side of his vein-lined black shaft. Gently she laid a hoof on Flutter's dome and directed her to do the same.

Sunset continued to kiss and nibble on him, crushed her voluptuous breasts a bit more fiercely upon his powerful back, while the mares moaned low as they alternated their heads up-and-down his cock, now soaked wet in saliva and viscous precum. They stared dreamily into his eyes as he planted hooves on their heads and guided their movements.

Fluttershy whimpered. She and her companion winked and dripped onto the floor. She needed more. Desire overtook her to such a degree that shame seemed utterly pointless now. She opened her maw and swallowed his cockhead. While it was difficult to take him deep since this was her first time, she pushed herself hard anyhow, stuffed his meat down his throat so forcefully she choked a little as she proudly took him all the way to the base.

"F-fuck me," he wheezed as Tree Hugger slurped and pulled on his heavy testicles. Flutters rolled her tongue around his girth and Sunset stood so that he could take one of her breasts into his mouth. He nibbled and pulled on a nipple, tweaked the other with a hoof.

Sunset couldn't help but snicker at his lewd expressions. "I think he's close. Open wide!"

Fluttershy and Tree Hugger opened their mouths like commanded, and the trio of mares constantly stroked his length until it desperately quivered. The pair stuck their tongues out to better catch the strings of cum that fired so intensely over their faces they were quickly forced to shut their eyes. After several days without his usual release his seed had built up to unbelievable volumes, not helped by all the potions he'd taken to enhance its mass.

His splooge splashed into their maws and practically rained all over them. They happily showered in his emissions as he wailed under an intense orgasm that finally found release after several hard days rest. Sunset wrapped her snout around the base of his shaft and sucked hard to further help him finish. He came and came until he almost passed out.

The act nearly drained the stallion. His potent mana carried his virility. It now carried an addictive quality that made mares addicted to its taste and warmth. They wanted to swallow it and feel it swim inside them. Made them more submissive than ever as they desperately wanted to be bred by him in order to bear his unmatched foals.

Flutters and Tree Hugger exchanged a drawn out kiss, masturbated one-another, and swallowed down his hot load. Sunset meanwhile lapped up the excess that painted his penis and still swollen balls. Even after this session there was still an excess build up.

"Now now Captain, that's only the warm up. Don't let it all out before you've even put your dick in them," teased Sunset who delicately licked traces of excess cum from her hooves.

Tree Hugger put a limb around her friend's shoulder and turned them so that he had a spectacular view of their backsides. "Follow us. We'll take you to a place with vibes like you wouldn't believe!" They swayed their backsides as they sidled away.

Sunset Shimmer used her magic to open his wife's drawer of kinky stuff, levitated over a collar and leashed, and rather coyly attached the choker to herself. She allowed her thick bangs to fall over part of her face. "Let's go. You can take me for a walk."

He took the leash with a bold grin and smacked her jiggly flanks. "My little Sunpet Shimmer." He laughed at his own terrible pun and she teasingly rolled her eyes at him. Nevertheless she followed after the others mares contented to be his plaything.

Perhaps he could never love her and be with her in the way she wanted. But at least she could make him happy. That would have to do. She needed to feel needed. Validated.

They followed a series of labyrinthine secret passageways that were nestled below the crystal palace. This time they didn't bother with blindfolds, because after the initial sessions their plans had become less of a secret, the Princesses now almost ready to take this into the open. Even so they would merely request that the citizens breed more for the sake of Equestria's numbers; they dared not share news of potential disaster on the horizon.

Eventually the foursome arrived in a spacious room complete with a two-way mirror. From here they could view the breeding stocks, where mares volunteered to be placed halfway into holes in the walls, their tails tied so as not to obstruct the presentation of their nethers. Their breasts hung able to be played with as they stood lined up and ready to be mounted by the carefully selected stallions that would be chosen to inseminate them.

He drooled at the variety of asses, tits, and pussies on wanton display. He reminded himself to be patient, but he couldn't wait to stick his dick in the mares before him, especially when a round of soldiers wandered into the room and started to mount their broodmares. He knew they couldn't see or hear them. The trio of mares pressed their buns close together as they could when they lined up to take his engorged cock.

Sunset desperately wanted him to do her, but she knew it was their mission to save Equestria, that she likely already bore his foal. "T-take them first," she whined despite her insane need. "Make sure you cum inside both of them at least once!"

He mounted Fluttershy first who moaned and squeaked as he slowly pushed his stallionhood into her wet folds. She sobbed a little when he ruptured her hymen and a bit of blood mixed with her marejuices to trickle down her loins. "D-don't stop," she pleaded when he paused in fear he'd hurt her. "I-I can take it. It'll feel wonderful soon, I know."

And it did once he started to fill her. Pain was dulled by the onset of pleasure. She'd denied herself to such an extent all her life that she came almost instantly after his dick vanished into her. She was by far the tightest mare he'd ever taken, and her wings unfurled to their full span, her eyes closed as she opened her mouth in a long-winded euphoric scream.

Her nethers milked him so violently he came almost instantly too. He groped one of her yellow buttocks in one hoof and one of the heaviest breasts he'd ever seen in the other. It was more intense than anything he could remember. His sole disappointment was that it ended so quickly. Nonetheless he felt satisfied with their short union.

Flutters kissed him tenderly. "T-thank you kind stallion," she whispered and avoided his eyes, still embarrassed even after their most intimate union. "That was amazing."

"Do me now. After all, I helped set you and Flutters up." Tree Hugger shook her wide bottom back-and-forth. "I deserve a little lovin' too, you know?"

Shining Armor reluctantly pulled free of his current partner, but that quickly changed to eagerness once he savored what was on display. He took a hoof's worth of her dreadlocks and unceremoniously plunged into this new wet cavern. Unlike her friend he could immediately tell she was incredibly experienced, but he hardly minded that, especially not when she instinctively knew how to move her hips in order to better tend to his stallionhood. Instantly she started to soak him in a rather casual manner as he bucked her.

"Far out. I'm in the zone," she drawled as she lit up a joint she'd pulled from who-knows-where. Probably hidden within her dewrag he decided. She suddenly had a lighter in her other hoof, lit the doobie up, and breathed in so deep she almost choked.

Smoke blew from her nostrils and her eyes turned a little bloodshot and veiny. She cut her drugs with all sorts of stuff to give her an even quicker and more intense high. The pussy stuff most druggies baked themselves on didn't do it for her anymore. He almost felt a little insulted she'd decided to drift into another world while he fucked her, but had to admit it was hot in a different way, how her mind went so vacant she was little more than a meaty receptacle to take his dick. He freely molested her body as he pounded into her.

Her marehood reflexively milked him. Her eyes rolled into her head as she spaced out and nearly peaced out. "Oh...it's too much," she murmured as her limbs weakened and she sunk to the floor. She passed out from another one of her overdoses, and he continued to bang her anyway, unaware that she was constantly slipping between life-and-death. Unspeakable bliss was heightened to unreasonable levels under the influence of what she'd taken. Her supple body threatened to shut down, overwhelmed by all the sensations.

Her heart raced hard and then slowed to a complete stop as he continued to hammer away. He fiercely traced and squeezed and slapped her sweaty curves, oblivious that she really was no more than a piece of fuckmeat now. Her entire body spasmed until her watery marehood constricted almost as hard as Flutter's virginal hole had around him.

He sheathed his entirety into the maremeat and emptied into the still warm body. Despite her looser cunt she nearly matched her inexperienced friend. "Fuck yes," he wheezed.

"Oh my...she's fallen asleep," mused Fluttershy with a hoof to her mouth and a titter. It wasn't unusual for her friend to pass out on one of her typical binges.

Sunset Shimmer barely noticed as she impatiently swished her tail and hindquarters. Between seeing the mares get laid, not to mention all the stallions riding their broodmares in the other room, her nethers had been worked into such a frenzy by now that she'd soaked her loins, a sizable puddle of marecum left on the floor. She used telekinesis to spread her ponut and pussy wide open as she could, determined to make him rut her in any hole. It hardly mattered now. She simply needed his cock inside her to conquer her.

He took the leash between his mouth and hopped onto her. She whinnied shamelessly when he started to passionately breed her. By now it was harder for him to get off, and so he pulled her mane, taking her more roughly than he normally would. "I-it's okay," she mewled. "F-fuck me...unf...as hard as you want! Oh Celestia! Ah ! I...I can take it!"

She lowered herself much as she could and raised her pert ass even higher. "Breed me harder! Harder!" She made demands as he manipulated and spanked one of her plush buttcheeks. "I...I...I love you, Shining Armor! I love you!" The words slipped out in a hysterical cry. She wept a little as the buried contents of her broken heart spilled out.

"I love you too Sunny," he admitted. The confession made them simultaneously happier and sadder than they could recall. They cried out together. Came as one. "Oh, I'm sorry Cadance, but I love her too!" He sunk atop her and they heaved in unison amidst an afterglow. He felt a terrible burden lifted off his shoulders to admit that. They barely knew each other and yet somehow they had instinctively connected almost instantaneously.

Tree Hugger coughed as she sputtered back to life. "Hey," she muttered sleepily. "Did I miss anything?" She smiled at the couple basking in one-another's company. "Far out."

Fluttershy helped her stand and whispered, "We should allow them some privacy."

While the pleased mares quietly retreated, Shining Armor pulled Sunset Shimmer close to his well-muscled chest, and stroked her mane as they basked in each other's warmth. They kissed and lazed together without a care in the world. Maybe they couldn't settle down like they dreamed, but they could at least relish each other's company.

Neither took any real notice of the mares that would leave their holes after a time, only to be replaced by another set, ready to be bred by virile stallions supplied with potions to raise their stamina and further empower their seeds. For their own part the broodmares partook of similar substances that would make them more fertile, and open their wombs and cervices to better soak up the excessive semen that would be pumped into them.

For the moment there was only each other. Equestria could wait. The pair needed a reminder of what they often strove so hard to preserve. Love made this all possible.
