Shining Armor shifted a little in his bed, enjoying the cool morning air, the silk sheets against his fur, and the feeling of his wife's mouth around his cock. Mostly the latter. The warm, wet feeling slurping up and down his shaft was heavenly, and the perfect thing to wake up to. Goddess, Cadance was so good to him...

Despite the fogginess of waking up and the growing haze of lust, though, the thought of Cadance teased some kind of memory in him. Something unpleasant, maybe? Yes, there was something about Cadance, and he'd expected to feel bad about it. He'd expected to ... miss her? But why would he...?

Cadance had gone to the Royal Conference in Canterlot! She'd left him behind to watch after the Crystal Empire last night, and he'd expected to wake up to a cold, empty bed. Then what was...?

He opened his eyes, looked down.

The deep blue eyes of a crystal pony met his. As he gaped at her, she slowly slid her mouth all the way down his cock, taking him down to the sheath. He could dimly see his cock inside her, through her sparkling, translucent neck.

For a moment, he was flabbergasted, stunned, unable to say or do anything at all. What could he do about it? This was never anything that he thought he'd have to deal with. The mare took that moment to bob her head up and down a few more times. Her eyes closed as she pumped herself on his cock, twisting to the side a little as she plunged down, moaning softly to herself as she pulled back up.

Finally, he found his voice. “W-what are you doing in—”

He didn't get to finish. The mare plunged herself down on his cock, all the way down, even taking some of his sheath into her mouth. One of her hooves delicately massaged his balls.

When he saw his flare spreading open deep inside her throat, he knew it was too late. There was no way he could stop what was about to happen. With a silent apology to Cadance, he tensed up and grunted, feeling the first blast of cum already surging upward.

The mare's eyes shot open when his cum visibly gushed into her throat, locking onto his in an expression of adoring surprise as more and more of it pumped in. Her eyelids twitched slightly with every pulse of Shining Armor's cock against her tongue, and she moaned deeply.

He shuddered as he felt the mare's moan along his entire shaft, and he gave himself to the moment, forgetting Cadance, forgetting all the reasons this shouldn't be happening. All that mattered in that one sweet moment was the adoring little crystal mare who was so eagerly swallowing down his cum.

Finally, there was no more to give her, even though she sucked and gulped desperately. Shining Armor flopped down limply against his bed, sucking in deep breaths of the cool air and trying not to think of what Cadance would say if she found out about this.

The mare slowly pulled herself off of his softening cock, making him shudder all over again at the feeling of its wide flare slipping up through her throat and out her mouth. It came free with a wet plop and dropped down onto his belly. She swallowed one more time. “Mmm... Thank you, Your Grace.”

The full realization of what had just happened shot through him like a lightning bolt. He jerked upward to a sitting position, staring down at her. “W-what do you think you're doing? I'm married! And I didn't consent to this! You have to leave – now! I... I can't be seen like this! Cadance will—”

When he saw the way the little mare was cringing away from him, he stopped himself. Goddess, she looked terrified. Her hooves trembled so much it made the bed shake slightly. Her crystal coat was light blue, and her mane a darker blue, with a round blue gemstone on her flank. He knew her ... she was one of the castle servants – one of Cadance's maids.

He sighed. “What were you thinking, Topaz? You know we can't do this kind of thing.”

At first she didn't respond at all. She always had struck him as the shy and reserved type. Which made it all the more baffling that she'd be outrageously bold enough to do ... that to him while he slept! Had she been waiting for just such an opportunity, with Cadance out of town?

Slowly, tremblingly, Topaz reached for an envelope on the bedside table and handed it to him.

What was this about? That letter hadn't been there when he went to bed last night... It was pink, obviously taken from Cadance's stationery supplies. And it had her heart-shaped seal on it, unbroken. It even smelled like her perfume.

Watching Topaz warily out of the corner of his eye, he tore the envelope open with his magic.

My beloved Shining Armor,
I hope you enjoy my little gifts. Hopefully, this can make up for leaving you alone for three days while I'm at the Royal Conference. I know being lonely that long could be difficult for a stud of your stamina. Just be sure to save a little of that stamina for me when I get back. ❤
With all my love, Cadance

It was sealed with a kiss at the end, and smelled even more strongly of her ... but not of her perfume. The paper was splotched with little spatters of dried-up moisture, making the ink run in places, and it clearly smelled of something much more intimately Cadance's than her custom-mixed perfume. What a way to sign a letter... Effective, though. After a couple years of being married to her – and being with her before the wedding – he was quite familiar with her scent. There was no way this letter could have been from anypony else.

He let the letter drop and looked back up at Topaz ... just in time to meet Topaz's lips in a small, gentle kiss.

She blushed and made a hasty exit from the bedroom, her tail flagging high behind her the whole way.

That was a lovely little gift, he admitted with a satisfied smile. Trust it to the Princess of Love to make sure he was looked after even when she was gone. Goddess, he loved her. Every time he thought he knew her, she showed him new depths of affection that blew him away.

He stretched luxuriantly before rising up and heading to the royal suite's shower. Cadance had left him to watch over the Crystal Empire for a reason. He had work to do, and he'd better not try to do that work while looking and smelling like he'd just emptied himself down a maid's throat.
