Princess Mi Amore Cadenza was never really much of a dog pony; not to say she hated dogs, it’s just that she tended to prefer cats for companionship. To her, dogs were just overly excitable furballs that ran around making a mess, barking all the time, and slobbering all over you as a show of affection. None of that appealed to the princess of love and she’d much rather have a low key animal companion than one of those drooling mutts.

Which made it all the more frustrating when Shining Armor brought one home.

Ever since her eighth birthday, Flurry Heart had become obsessed with the idea of having a pet. The little princess had shifted her focus through several different animals before settling on getting a puppy. Cadance had tried her best to talk her out of it, offering her up several different animals in lieu of getting a dog but the alicorn refused to change her mind.

Then one day, after her husband took their daughter out on the town under the rather vague pretense of ‘getting some fresh air’, Flurry Heart got her wish and a canine companion was added to their little family. Although Cadance couldn’t figure out why Flurry had chosen a fully grown great dane after going on and on about having a puppy for so long but she supposed it was better than getting a hyperactive newborn that tore up everything in sight.

Thankfully the great dane, Onyx as Flurry Heart named him, was actually incredibly well trained for a dog to the point that Cadance had to wonder if he used to participate in dog shows before winding up in their care. The black furred canine was very obedient and well behaved; rarely barking at anypony unless it was to welcome them back home after some time away, performing numerous commands near flawlessly, never making any kind of mess in the house, and even managing to act as a half-decent guard dog after he had managed to subdue a would be kidnapper that infiltrated Flurry’s room while she was sleeping.

Onyx was practically the ideal family dog for Cadance, although there was one major flaw she couldn’t overlook: he was a little too affectionate, especially for his size. Be it slobbering all over their faces, bowling them over when they came back to their personal chambers after a long day of running the crystal empire, or climbing into their beds at night to cuddle, Onyx just flat out didn’t seem to understand how big he was and how problematic that size became when he tried to be a loving pet.

While Flurry Heart and Shining Armor didn’t mind this sort of behavior, brushing it off as the great dane just expressing how much he loved his new family, Cadance was more than a little bothered by it; a problem that was only exacerbated by the fact that Onyx seemed to single her out as his favorite family member and the princess of love often found herself being besieged by one-hundred and fifty pounds of canine affection.

She tried to cope with it the best she could for the sake of her family who had grown attached to the dog, but his constant displays of ‘rough love’ continued to grate on her nerves. Sometimes when she was working on paperwork the big lug would try to jump into her lap and wound up nearly crushing her against the chair; other times, when she had finished a long day of royal duties, Cadance would be greeted by the massive dog tackling her to the ground and coating her face in slobber which wound up completely smearing her makeup, and don’t even get her started on the sheer amount of dog hair she had to clean off her body as a result of Onyx wanting to spend most nights cuddled up with her. Frankly the only reason she hadn’t gotten rid of the drooling mutt was because Flurry Heart and Shining Armor adored him far too much.

Whether she liked it or not, both her husband and her daughter loved Onyx like he was part of the family and sending him away would have broken both of their hearts; Cadance couldn’t exactly call herself the princess of love if she broke up a loving relationship between a pony and their dog, now could she? Besides, seeing Shining Armor play fetch with him in the park or watch Flurry Heart giggle as he licked her face while snuggled up against him provided her with too many adorable moments for her to pass up. So Cadance decided to take the bad with the good and hope she would get used to Onyx’s antics soon enough, the dog was just being friendly and she couldn’t fault him for that.

And after one fateful weekend, Cadance not only got used to the Great Dane but came to genuinely enjoy his presence in her life.

*********************

“So are you sure you have everything?” Asked Cadance for the upteenth time.

“Yes honey, I double-triple checked my bags.” Shining Armor replied, only for his wife’s mouth to open again. “And yes, Twilight also quadruple checked them too.”

Cadance snapped her mouth shut, silently admitting defeat.

This weekend was shaping up to be an eventful one. Apparently there was some big sci-fi, fantasy convention going on in Manehattan where tons of geeks and nerds of all shapes and sizes would gather together in one spot to celebrate their collective adoration for various fictional works. Shining Armor just so happened to be one of those geeks as was Flurry Heart to a lesser extent, the two of them having bonded quite a bit over Pony Trek over the last year, and they’d be attending the con all weekend as a daddy daughter activity with Twilight in tow to ensure Shining Armor didn’t blow the entire Crystal Empire’s treasury on useless memorabilia while also spending some quality time with her brother and niece.

Cadance would have tagged along as well but unfortunately her responsibilities as the leader of the crystal empire had begun to pile up lately. Lots of paperwork to do, marriages to officiate, and other tasks that fell upon the princess of love. Thus she would be stuck at home, all by herself with no pony apart from the castle staff around to keep her company, while Shining Armor and Flurry would be having the time of their lives in Manehattan.

Although there was a small part of Cadance that was grateful she didn’t have to go; the idea of spending hours in a stuffy convention center packed wall to wall with sweaty ponies wasn’t exactly her idea of fun. At least it made the rest of her family happy.

“You really shouldn’t be worrying this much, honey. I’ve been going to cons like this since I was a foal, I’m a seasoned pro who knows what he’s doing, we’re all gonna be fine.” Said Shining.

“I know, I know. But I can’t help it, you know how much of a trouble magnet Twilight is. Remember the Starswirl the Bearded Museum? Or the Princess Cruise? Or the Hearth’s Warming incident? Or the-“

“Okay! Okay, I get it!” Shining exclaimed. “But even if things go wrong, we’ll be able to handle it like we always do. If anything, I should be the one worrying about you. You’re gonna be by yourself for four whole days; as much as I love the servants and guards they aren’t exactly the best ponies to hang out with.”

Cadance rolled her eyes. “I think I’ll be able to survive Shining, I’m the ruler of the Crystal Empire and a grown mare. A weekend without the love of my life isn’t exactly going to be a challenge.”

“You’re right. And besides, it’s not like you’re going to be completely alone, you’ll have Onyx around to keep you company!”

“Yeah, Onyx, great.” The alicorn visibly cringed, earning her a disapproving look from Shining Armor.

“Come on honey, don’t be like that.”

“What were you expecting?” Said Cadance. “You know perfectly well how I feel about that mutt.”

“Hey! Onyx is a great dog and everyone in the family loves him, why can’t you two just get along?” The white unicorn protested.

“Maybe if he wasn’t slobbering all over me every single day, I might have been able to.”

“The big guy is only being affectionate, showing how much he loves you.”

“And personally I think he loves me a little too much.” Cadance shot back. “Waking up to a tongue getting dragged across my face like I’m an ice cream cone is not a good way to start my morning.”

Shining armor chuckled. “Oh yeah, I remember that, the way you started sputtering after he accidentally licked your tongue was hilarious!”

“No it wasn’t. Why did you have to get Flurry such a massive dog? Why not a smaller breed that’s easier to handle? Like a Pug or a Corgi?” Cadance groaned.

“We’re not having this conversation again Cadance. I already told you: the minute Flurry Heart saw him it was love at first sight, I tried to talk her out of it for your sake but she begged me to adopt him. She even gave me the puppy dog eyes, you know I can’t say no to those!”

“Well maybe that’s something you should learn before you spoil-“

The front doors suddenly squeaking open followed by a shrill whistle cutting through the air interrupted the married couple’s argument mid sentence, the two ponies looking over to see Twilight standing there with an annoyed expression.

“Shining can you please wrap this up already? We’re falling behind schedule and Flurry is starting to get nervous.” The princess of friendship said.

“Right, sorry!” Shining said before looking back towards his wife. “We’ll see you in a few days!”

Cadance nodded, sharing a quick peck on the lips with the love of her life before he galloped out of the door, jumped into the royal carriage containing Flurry and Twilight, and took off. Leaving the princess alone in the foyer…for about five minutes until one of her advisors approached, clipboard and notes hovering in their magic.

“So, what’s on the itinerary today?” Princess Cadance asked the crystal unicorn.

“Well you’ll be holding court from nine to eleven AM in regards to property taxes, then your beauty appointment from eleven to noon, followed by a marriage ceremony in need of officiating, then a foal’s baptism, followed by another marriage ceremony, after which you’ll need to fill out and stamp some of the paperwork that’s fallen into the back log. In other words, you’ve got quite a busy day ahead of you princess.

Cadance sighed, she certainly had her work cut out for her. “Alright, let’s get started then.”

***********************

Cadance exited her private study with a groan, stumbling out into the hallway half dead on her hooves. Even with all of the day’s events laid out for her, she still wasn’t prepared for how much work she would have to do or how utterly drained it would leave her.

The day court went from a civil discussion to a childish shouting match over potted plants of all things, Cadance couldn’t even recall what the outcome was or why they were even arguing over such in the first place; her beauty appointment was rendered pointless when she ended up getting splattered with cake at the first of the two weddings she had to attend today, to say nothing of the messes that occured at the baptism and the second wedding; and the backlog of paperwork was MUCH larger than she had expected, to the point it took hours upon hours to complete.

The point was, Cadance was utterly exhausted and without Shining Armor around to give her a little ‘pick me up’ (if you know what I mean), the princess of love was forced to find relief somewhere else. She was too tired to make the trek to her bedroom but luckily there was a small private library set aside for such needs. She just had to take a short walk around the corner and-

“WOOF!” Was all Cadance heard before something large and furry abruptly tackled her to the ground.

“Oh for Celestia’s sake!” The princess of love exclaimed.

Standing atop her prone form was none other than the very last creature Princess Cadance wanted to see right now: Onyx. The energetic Great Dane puffing hot and smelly breaths against Cadance’s face, drool dripping off his floppy tongue onto her cheek before the slick muscle started lapping all over her face in a show of canine affection that the massive beast had become known for. Something that Cadance certainly didn’t appreciate, far too tired to be dealing with Onyx’s antics right now.

“Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry Princess!” A crystal earth pony servant shouted, grabbing the leash attached to Onyx’s collar and pulling the canine off. “I had brought him home after taking him on his afternoon walk and was leading him to his room when he saw you and immediately sprinted off, I tried to hold him back but the leash slipped through and- and-“

“Calm down Ivory. It’s not that big of a deal, these things happen.” Princess Cadance replied, wiping the coat of slobber off of her face and wiping her hoof on the carpet.

“Still, he shouldn’t have jumped on you like that!” Ivory said before looking at Onyx. “Bad dog! Bad!”

The Great Dane shrunk in on himself, an ashamed look coming across his eyes as a sad whine escaped his muzzle. The display tugged on Cadance’s heartstrings slightly, but not enough to distract her from the ache in her flanks after being hit by a one-hundred and fifty pound doggy missile. She was probably going to be sore for the rest of the night which was just one more thing to add to her stress levels.

“Look, just take him to his room. It’s been a long day and I really want to spend some time relaxing.” Said Cadance.

“Yes, of course princess.” Ivory said before tugging on the leash. “Come on big guy, let’s go.”

Onyx fought the earth pony for a few seconds, yanking his head against the leash in an attempt to get back to his favorite pony, but quickly admitted defeat and allowed himself to be lead down the halls of the Crystal castle.

Cadance shook her head. “Dumb dog. I knew I should have asked Fluttershy to pet sit this weekend.”

Wiping off the last few droplets of slobber staining her body, Cadance turned on her hoof and resumed her journey towards her intended destination which she reached within minutes.

Pushing through a nicely carved crystal door, Cadance found herself in a cozy little reading room. A moderately sized bookshelf filled with various novels recommended to her occupying the wall to her right while an arrangement of plush chairs and sofas sat directly across from it with a lovely silk rug from Saddle Arabia lay in the middle of the room, tying everything together.

Cadance was so glad she took Twilight’s suggestion to have such a room implemented a few years back, even if she wasn’t the bookworm her sister-in-law was, it was still nice to curl up with a good novel and simply relax every so often. Although Cadance wasn’t in the mood for a good novel, she was in need of the literary equivalent of comfort food which consisted of certain…explicit works hidden in a secret compartment in the wall, one that nobody apart from herself and the designers of the room even knew about, not even Shining.

Pressing down on the button hidden on the underside of one of the selves, a section of the wall slid open and revealed a small stack of books nestled within the nook. Cadance hemmed and hawed over the selection before levitating ‘moonlight encounters’ out of the confined space, hitting the button again to snap the door shut and leave it hidden from view once more.

The princess of love then strolled over to the reading area and promptly collapsed onto the plush sofa with a huff. Taking a moment to enjoy the relief of getting off her hooves for the first time in hours, Cadance cracked open the book and picked up where she left off last time.

As is the case with many smut stories such as this, the plot was fairly cliché: mare meets stallion, falls in love with him, he pushes her away because he has a dark secret and doesn’t want to hurt her, mare finds out that stallion’s secret is being a werewolf, sex happens, and a dangerous affair begins. That’s about as far as Cadance has gotten so far; but it didn’t really matter because even if she wasn’t the princess of love, thus an expert on these sorts of setups, she could still see exactly where the story was going. After laying with the stallion in both forms, the mare would express her undying love for him and a willingness to look past his beastly side, causing the power of love to break the curse once and for all and allow the two ponies to walk off into a happily ever after. Cheesy? Yes. But the sex scenes were so well written that Cadance didn’t care in the slightest.

Books like these were a guilty pleasure for Princess Cadance for as long as she could remember: from her first encounter with a stallion on stallion romance novel during the opening stages of puberty, to the cardboard box of pornographic novels hidden under her bed throughout highschool, to her confidential trips to adult bookstores shortly after she was crowned the newest princess of equestia; the princess of love always took a sort of shameful pleasure in such works. Of course Cadance had tapered off this particular reading habit when she started dating Shining and practically quit cold turkey when they got married, allowing them to enjoy the deepest levels of intimacy two ponies could share. But when they took over the Crystal Empire, royal obligations and responsibilities piling up around them and leaving them less and less time to devote to one another causing Cadance to get a little pent up in terms of her physical needs. The arrival of Flurry Heart and all the work that went into raising a foal made such issues worse, reaching a point where the couple considered themselves lucky if they were able to have some fun in the bedroom once or twice a month.

Thus Cadance had to search for an alternate form of release and found one in the form of her old hobby, returning to the forbidden realm of literature and indulging herself in such perverted novels on a regular basis; maintaining total secrecy all the while in order to prevent this scandal in the making from reaching the public or worse, her husband. The last thing she needed was Shining Armor to start feeling all insecure about his abilities as a husband because he wasn’t able to properly tend to his wife.

In any case, Cadence skimmed across the filler woven into the novel until she reached one of the sex scenes:

“Oh what’s wrong? Is the big bad wolf getting scared?” Crimson Rain said, running a hoof along the underside of the werewolf’s muzzle.

“Crimson please! I’m barely retaining control as it is!” Moonlight Dancer replied. “I don’t want to let him loose upon you.”

The mare sat back and spread her legs, exposing her dripping pussy to the massive beast. “Well I do. Come on doggy, pleasure your bitch.”

Princess Cadance slowly trailed a hoof down her chest and stomach until she reached the slit between her legs, softly rubbing the outer folds in anticipation.

The last bits of Moonlight Dancer’s pony side disappeared in response to the display, his inner beast taking over and hungrily licking its lips as he approached the presenting mare. The smell radiating from her mound identified her as a bitch in need of a good pounding.

But instead of immediately slamming his canine cock into her, the beast kneeled down until his muzzle was level with Crimson’s pussy. The werewolf took in a deep breath of her scent before outright attack the burning hot area, tongue shooting out to lick up all the delicious juices leaking out of the mare before slipping inside to stroke at her walls.

“Yes, oh give it to her.” Cadance said to herself, firmly rubbing her pussy which was getting wetter by the second.

After Crimson was brought to a mind shattering orgasm, Moonlight pulled his tongue free from her snatch and positioned himself over the vulnerable mare. The massive creature loomed over her, using his claws to push her down into a mating press and line up his throbbing cock with her entrance. Crimson Rain didn’t even get a chance to glimpse at the organ before it was stuffed inside her, spreading her walls out just as it had during their first encounter.

“Gah! Oh fuck!” Crimson screamed, hooves slamming against the log beneath her. “That’s it puppy! Give it to me hard! I can take it!”

Cadence began rubbing herself harder and harder, breaths becoming shorter and more laborious as she lost herself in the fantasy. Hoof digging into her snatch, rubbing up against the warm and moist walls inside, occasionally pressing down upon her clit to intensify the experience.

Soon the alicorn discarded the lewd reading material and focused entirely on her own masturbation, chasing down the feeling of orgasmic pleasure that had appeared on the horizon.

“Mmph, oh there we go, that’s it!” Cadance huffed. “Just a little more!”

Burying her entire hoof into her pussy, Cadance euphorically whined and allowed her climax to wash over her. Her vaginal juices lightly spritzing out onto the cushions behind her and coating part of her foreleg.

Once her orgasm ran its course, Cadance pulled her stained hoof free from the embrace of her genitals and let it limply hang over the side of the couch as the rest of her body decompressed, collapsing belly first onto the love seat beneath her.

“Phew. I really needed that.” Cadance said, letting out a yawn.

The princess of love was utterly spent, exhaustion taking hold within her form. The mess she had made became an afterthought hanging at the back of her mind as she slowly closed her eyes.

Auntie Luna’s domain was calling Cadance’s name and a short nap sounded lovely right about now. The sound of the door to the private library slowly creaking open barely even registering in her drowsy mind.

**********************

Cadance squirmed slightly in her sleep, a strange sensation upon her body disturbing the wonderful fairy tale dream starring her and Shining Armor she was currently in the middle of.

Something warm, wet, and smooth was stroking against her left hoof. Creating an almost ticklish sensation upon the limb that coaxed out a slight giggle from the alicorn, one that grew louder as the strokes became faster and more forceful.

The sensation then moved down her body, leaving a trail of liquid across her chest and belly until it vanished around her waist. Quite abruptly in fact.

But Cadance thought nothing of it, choosing instead to ignore the odd occurance and slip back into the depths of her dreams. At least until she felt something cold and wet press right up against her pussy, followed by the slimy object being dragged up the Alicorn’s lower lips.

Cadance felt her body jerk slightly from the sensation, unintentionally pressing her mound up against whatever was causing it, but she quickly got into it and began grinding against the source of this newfound pleasure. Assuming that her dream had taken a rather saucy turn.

Her actions seemed to encourage this mysterious force, doubling down on it’s pace and delving deeper into Cadance’s pussy. The increase in passion was more than enough to wake up the princess, eyes fluttering open as she returned to reality.

It took a few moments for the sleepy haze engulfing her mind to clear up. But once the fog was lifted, Cadance looked down between her legs to see just what was causing the odd yet enjoyable sensation in her nethers…and immediately regretted it.

To Cadance’s complete and absolute horror, she saw that Onyx was currently lapping away at her pussy; the Great Dane enthusiastically devouring her mound, slurping up the juices leaking from the princess like he was drinking from a bowl of water.

Cadance wanted to scream bloody murder, to buck the dog right in the face, to have Onyx shipped off to the pound and lie to her husband and daughter that he simply ran away. But she was unable to do any of those things, the alicorn was so mortified by what was currently happening to her that she completely froze up; unable to move an inch, which allowed Onyx to keep licking away at his equine treat.

After about a minute of getting eaten out by the Great Dane, Cadance was hit with a sickening revelation: she was starting to enjoy this.

Cunnilingus wasn’t a new experience for her by any metric, Shining Armor had gone down upon her plenty of times in the past especially during their honeymoon, but Onyx was performing such oral ministrations far better than her husband ever could. His large tongue worked her over, stimulating every last inch of her pussy as he licked it from top to bottom and occasionally slapping against her anus; a bolt of electricity shooting down her spine with every messy slurp.

Cadance had to fight back an instinctive moan when Onyx pressed his muzzle deeper against her crotch, tongue slipping past her folds and stroking against the walls of her vagina.

‘Fuck he’s-‘ Cadance grunted in shameful pleasure. ‘He’s really getting in there.’

The princess of love felt her hips gyrate in rhythm with Onyx’s tongue, trying to help the dog hit all the right sweet spots inside of her. But when she felt a second orgasm start to build as a result of this, a spark of clarity burst through her mind and pushed past the forbidden pleasure she was currently being subjected to; making Cadance come to her senses.

‘Wait what am I doing?! I’m not about to cum from a dog eating me out!’ Cadance screamed in her head.

Finally scraping up enough sense to resist Onyx’s advances, Princes Cadance levitated her discarded book off the floor and bopped the Great Dane right on the snout. Not hard mind you, Cadance wasn’t an animal abuser, but enough to get his attention.

Onyx pulled his tongue free from Cadance’s depths, seemingly confused. The canine was then bopped again, causing him to jump away from the now furious alicorn with a pitiful whimper.

“BAD DOG! BAD DOG! YOU DO NOT TOUCH PONIES THERE!” Cadance yelled.

The Great Dane lowered his head, looking more than a little ashamed of himself. But any sympathy he may have gained with such a gesture was completely mitigated by the fact that his big red rocket was currently standing at attention.

Cadance’s rant came to a brief pause when she saw the throbbing organ pointing toward her like a sword, eyes following it as it swayed and twitched slightly with every pulsation. The alicorn’s horn sparking up with a specific type of magic she was known for until she snapped out her lustful trance and stormed out of the room.

Onyx tried to step forward and nuzzle Cadance as an apology but the Princess callously shoved him aside with her magic without a second thought, feeling so disgusted with the dog that she didn’t want him to so much as touch her for the rest of the weekend.

But as Cadance passed by the Great Dane, the trail of magic leaking out of her horn settled over Onyx's mind like a fog. The dog's eyes suddenly gained a subtle pink sheen, locking onto the princess as she left the room. An odd occurance but the Alicorn was so disgusted that she couldn't even ponder it's significance, nor that of the pink sheen appearing in her own eyes as she passed a reflective silver vase.

This wasn’t over, not by a long shot.
