The Prince's Predicament

Shining Armor grabbed Cadance's ankles and pushed her back further, ensuring that his cock drilled directly down into her vertically. Both of their tongues were hanging out, as drool dripped from his lips onto her neck. She couldn't pay attention to that, however, as her attention was focused on the massive rod that had been jackhammering into her for the last forty-five minutes.

"Aaickhaa!" she managed to grunt out, unable to form complete words.

Still, Shining had been with her long enough to know what she meant. He geared up for a few last powerful thrusts, and then plunged all the way in, filling her with his seed. Seconds later, she clamped down on him, spraying everything; his fluids, her own, the strawberry kiwi lube, all over the bed.

Once Shining's balls were empty, he flopped onto his back. He let out a heavy breath.

"Girls, clean up," huffed Cadance.

The two mares that had previously been involved in their sexual congress earlier that morning came forward. They'd been tired out for quite a bit with the sexual appetites of their rulers, and had left them to finish up on their own. One began licking and sucking the cum off of Shining's cock, including the little spurts that were still erupting from the tip every so often, and the other was sucking the fluid from Cadance's canal.

"This was a fun morning," smiled Shining. "I can't think of a better way to work out after breakfast."

"I can think of some other fun things to do of a morning," smirked Cadance, scooting closer and wrapping her hooves around his bicep.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah. Picture this: First, you lie down on the bed, on your back as you are. Then I climb on top of you, and that great big cock of yours goes right up my pussy."

"I like that."

"Then, another stallion comes in behind me an--"

"No."

Cadance grunted in frustration. "Just hear me out: Another stallion comes in behind me and he goes up my arse."

"Cadance, no. If you need something to go up your arse, we have plenty of dildoes."

"But a dildo is not as good as the real thing, Shiny."

"Then I will go up your arse."

"And let the other guy into my pussy?" She placed a hoof over her heart. "Shining, you do care."

"No," he said again. "No other stallions."

Cadance rolled over. "Shining, I'm not asking you to suck them off or take them up your own arse. I'm just asking you to let them join you in showing me a good time."

"You're asking me to let their balls and my balls to occupy the same space. No."

"Fine," said Cadance. Forget them taking me from behind."

"Good."

"Imagine instead one fucking my throat."

"No!"

"What's the problem?" growled Cadance. You don't want me being DPed because you're afraid that you'll touch his balls. Now your balls are nowhere near his!"

"Yeah, they're smacking me in the nose!" argued Shining. "That's worse!"

"So it'd be better if he took me from behind?"

"I won't have another stallion's cum dripping on my face,--"

"Then we're doing that."

Shining stood up. "I said no, Cadance. I'm not going to be involved with another stallion!"

As he walked out of the room, his balls now clean, he sighed. It was a harrowing thought that he wasn't enough of a proper stallion to satisfy his wife. Having some other stallion come in and do his job because he was incapable of fully pleasing her would label him a failure. He was fine with involving other mares; they knew what they were doing to please his wife, but they could never replace him.

He wished he could be better about this, to allow her the fantasies he couldn't provide, but it all just felt wrong. He was a prince, and as such, he should be leading by example. And the example he wanted to lead with was that they should be what their loved ones need, and to take care of them. Not to send some other pony to take care of them while they lazed about.

Shaking his head, he went down to the barracks. It was about time for the weekly uniform inspection, anyway. Perhaps doing some work would calm him down.

As he entered the room, he spotted several of the guards enjoying their time off. He was early, so he didn't expect them to be ready, and in fact, no less than eight were cleaning their armor, and one was painting over a freshly-repaired dent. What had been damaged was repaired, so some pride in his men was warranted.

"Attention!" shouted one of the at-ease guards that had been playing a card game, leaping to his hooves and saluting. Everypony else in the room followed suit, falling into line at the foot of their beds and saluting.

"At ease," he saluted back. "As you were."

While some of them just went back to their seats and worked on their tasks, others stood at the ready, wondering if they would be inspected early if they just stood at the ready. Early inspection meant early dismissal, after all, and they could go back home for the day. But it was obvious that some of their fellows weren't ready for inspection, so Shining opted to wait, sitting down at one of the tables, where a game of poker was going on.

"Cards, sir?" asked one of the soldiers, who was holding the deck. He was the dealer for this round.

Shining waved his hoof, declining joining the game. "I just came down to see how things were going. I needed to move away from my troubles for a bit to think things over."

"If you want, I can brew a cup of tea for you," smiled one of the guards, Lieutenant Mustard Greens, pushing back his mane. "My coltfriend won't let me leave the house without it."

"How is he, by the way?" asked the dealer. "I haven't seen him since the parade."

"Kind of upset, actually. His dad's not happy about the fact that he was there at all, and even more pissed that he was on the float. Celestia's sake, seeing his son kissing another stallion on the front page created such a yelling match, you would not believe how much flak I had to take for that."

"Well, you know," offered Shining, "I could have Cadance talk to his father. It's no good for his dad to hate him for being romantically involved with a stallion, and even more wrong for him to despise you for it."

Mustard shook his head. "Nah, he lives for the drama. Plus, he always grips my dick just a little bit tighter after somepony tells him to leave me. Tea?"
