Captain Shining Armor's horn glowed light blue, and his breastplate and helmet lit up with an aura of the same color. The straps holding the pieces of armor to his body loosened, and he let out a relieved breath as he levitated his regalia off of himself and into the closet. He slid the door closed, glad to be spared the sight of the purple gear for the remainder of the day. His steps were noticeably lighter as he trotted out of the barracks, and he tossed the occasional salute to a few of his fellow guard ponies before stepping out onto the street and starting on his way back to Canterlot Castle.
It wasn't that he disliked his work; on the contrary, this was what he was meant to do. The safety of Canterlot was his responsibility, and despite the occasional rough day, he knew it was well worth it to ensure the well-being of the citizens. The reason for his happiness on this particular day, as it had been for the past several years, was the thought of what awaited him back at home. For years, his job had been the most important thing in his life, and he dedicated nearly all of his time and effort into climbing the ranks of the Royal Guards. That, however, was before he met and fell in love with Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Just the thought of her made him crack a little smile, and his hooves quickened their pace toward the castle and the chambers he shared with the princess.
It was a short trip, even though sometimes it felt as though it took far too long. Through the halls and stairwells of Canterlot Castle, he walked the familiar path that took him back to Cadance. Some of the guards recognized him and spoke a brief greeting, but all he gave them in return was a little nod of his head; he wanted to get home as soon as possible, and he didn't have time to stop and chat.
At last, he arrived at the entrance to his suite, and with a quick burst of magic, he swung the door open and stepped inside. “Cadance! I'm home!” he called out as he shut the door behind him. “You all right?”
No answer came at first, and for a moment, fear seized Shining's heart. After what had happened during their wedding, he always felt a little bit of concern whenever Cadance was left alone for too long. While she was a strong mare and could certainly take care of herself, his worries refused to rest. Still not hearing a response, he peeked into the kitchen to see if she was there.
“I'm here, Shining.” He heard the sweet melody of her voice drift to his ears from behind him, and he turned back to behold his bride once more. The sight of her caused his heart to pull its usual stunt of stopping for the briefest of moments, forcing him to pause and catch his breath. In the meantime, he took a good, long look at the mare he loved so much, all the while experiencing the same feelings of deep desire that he felt whenever he surveyed her.
Her multi-colored mane bore a delightful bounce, and it also had a tendency to sway back and forth when she walked; it often had a mesmerizing effect. Her tail was entrancing too, especially when Shining's thoughts drifted to the treasure that lay just beneath the colorful appendage. Pink had never been his favorite color for the first years of his life, but his wife's gorgeous coat now ranked as one of his most-loved hues. Her legs were long and slender, her flank was shapely and delicious, her horn jutted out long and proud, and her eyes shone with the wisdom and love that only a princess of Equestria could embody.
Several of her more under-appreciated features, however, had undergone a rather significant change in recent months, ever since the day when Cadance had informed him that their family would be welcoming another member soon. Even though that news had come nearly ten months ago, both ponies were still having a hard time believing it. Even as Shining's eyes drifted to his wife's bulging midsection, he could barely comprehend that there was a foal growing inside there, one which he'd helped to create. He was going to be a father. The thought terrified and exhilarated him, and he knew that the same emotions stirred inside Cadance, albeit enhanced a hundredfold.
One side effect of his wife's pregnancy, however, had caught Shining Armor quite by surprise. More and more often, he found his gaze wandering down to admire the growing swell in her belly, and he felt a rush of desire each time he ogled her. He couldn't explain it very well; in the past, he'd never thought of pregnant mares as being exceptionally attractive. They weren't repulsive by any means, but their enlarged wombs and hefty teats full of mother's milk had never turned him on.
Then again, those mares hadn't been Cadance.
Night after night, he held her tight, and inevitably, his hoof would travel up the mountain of her midsection and rub her soft coat gently. The urge to moan would nearly overtake him, but he'd manage to stifle any sounds of desire. He told himself over and over again that he was only drawn to her in this way because her increased size was a physical representation of their great love, or because he could literally feel the evidence of their commitment to one another with each slow stroke against her.
Both of these things were true. As much as Shining tried to deny it, however, a third reason was becoming more and more clear with each passing day and with each stolen glance at Cadance's growing swell.
Her pregnancy turned him on.
This was both a blessing and a curse for the stallion. Cadance had that effect on him on a regular basis, and the fact that the heat within him grew whenever he stared at the bulge of her belly made him love her even more. As wonderful as it was to feel closer to Cadance, Shining was all too aware that those feelings had to be kept in check. She was ten months along; her pregnancy was well into its final term, and the doctor had told them to be on guard for any signs of her impending delivery. (As unlikely as it was for a mare to go into labor a month early, it never hurt to be prepared.) That meant that intimacy was forbidden.
Shining couldn't remember exactly where he heard it – he suspected that it was a nugget of wisdom from his mother – but he'd learned long ago that when a mare entered the last stages of pregnancy, sex had a chance to accidentally induce labor and cause the foal to be delivered prematurely. He and Cadance had continued to be very active during the first few months of her pregnancy, but as she started to show more and more, both ponies agreed to lay off the lovemaking to reduce the risk of danger to the growing baby. It was a decision Shining knew he had to make, but it certainly wasn't an easy one, especially as his desire for Cadance grew in time with her womb. In spite of his rising arousal, the stallion grit his teeth and abstained for the sake of their unborn foal. Sacrifices had to be made, and if it meant that his young one would be healthy, then he would do what needed to be done (or in this case, not do what he wanted to do).
Even as he watched his wife walk, her steps slow and careful, he caught himself staring at her distended belly as it swayed back and forth almost hypnotically. He felt a rush of heat come to his cheeks, and he quickly raised his head and focused instead on his wife's beautiful face. That didn't do much to stifle the rising desire, but it helped to tear his eyes away from her swell. He stepped toward her and pulled her close in an embrace. “Welcome home, Shine,” Cadance said, using her usual nickname for him.
The sound of her voice made him smile. “Good to be back, Cadance.” He withdrew from the hug and met his wife's eyes again. “How was your day?”
Her gaze shifted to the side, and her face took on a strange expression. It looked like a mix between excitement and worry, and Shining's curiosity piqued. She gave him a sidelong look. “Actually, I had the doctor pay me a visit today.”
Now Shining was worried. He stepped forward and put a hoof on her shoulder, his eyes wide with concern. “Is everything okay? What's wrong? How's the foal? How are you?”
The rapid-fire questions tumbled out of him until Cadance silenced him with a hoof over his lips. She giggled, a sound that started to set Shining's mind at ease, then allayed his fears further with a simple statement. “Don't worry, Shine. I'm fine, the foal's fine, we're all just fine.” All of his trepidation left with a burst of a sigh as he released a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. Cadance went on, “The doctor told me that everything's progressing as normal. He said that I look like I'm right on schedule, so in about a month, we'll be welcoming a brand-new foal into Equestria.”
Her gaze became soft, and the first hints of happy tears began to form at the corners of her eyes. Shining threw his forelegs around her neck again and pulled her close. “That's wonderful, Cadance.” One brief half-sob was the only bit of crying from the alicorn, and Shining stroked her back gently as she returned his embrace. They lingered like that for a while, allowing a comfortable silence to settle over the room.
Finally, Cadance stepped back, and Shining released his hug. Cadance wiped a stray tear from her eye and said, “Sorry, it's still a little overwhelming to think about.”
Shining gave her an encouraging smile. “Trust me, I know. It hits me hard every time I see you. I can only imagine what you're going through.”
“Nothing I can't handle with you by my side,” Cadance replied, closing the distance between them again. Shining's eyes drifted shut as his muzzle moved forward as if by instinct, and he felt a tingle run through him as his lips met his wife's just like they had so many times before. While they hadn't partaken in intercourse for several months, the couple still enjoyed long make-out sessions and frequent cuddling. Shining knew it was good for their relationship to remain intimate in those ways, but each time, he always came away a little wanting. His disappointment was pushed aside, however, by constant self-reminders that the safety of their foal was the most important thing during these delicate final months.
Their mouths melded together for nearly a full minute before both ponies pulled away, their faces beaming with wide smiles. In a light, airy voice, Cadance said, “I love you so much, Shining Armor.”
“Love you too, Cadance,” the stallion replied. He couldn't tell her that enough times.
Cadance's expression became slightly more serious. “So, like I was saying, the doctor came over. While he was here, I asked him a few questions that have been on my mind for a little while now.” Her eyes shifted to the side again. “There was one question in particular that I had to find out the answer to.”
“What's that?” Shining asked, slightly perplexed by his wife's strange behavior but eager to hear what she'd found out from their doctor.
Cadance caught his eye again. “You know how we both agreed to lay off intimacy until it was safe again?”
He knew all too well, but he just gave her a nod, curious to see where she was going.
Her pink cheeks reddened slightly. “Well, I asked him if what you said was true, if sex during this stage of my pregnancy could have any sort of negative consequences. He told me...” She paused and turned her head, now facing straight at Shining Armor. “He told me that what you'd heard was just an old mare's tale. As long as both parties are willing and careful, it's perfectly fine to be intimate, no matter how far along the mare is.”
The fog in Shining's head started to clear, and his eyes started to open wider and wider as his wife's words registered in his mind. “Cadance...are – are you sure?”
Her blush deepened. “Y-yes. I double-checked with the doctor, and he told me that it's all right for us to be intimate.” The look in her eyes grew more intense. “So what are we going to do with this new information?”
It was all Shining Armor could do to keep himself from tackling her to the ground right then and there. As it was, he felt a burning sensation rise in his chest, and he threw himself forward to hug his wife once again. “Oh, Cadance, that's...you have no idea how happy I am to hear that,” he whispered as he rubbed her gently with his hooves. His eyes stole a glance at her swollen belly. A surge of heat coursed through him, and he grunted.
His own back was subjected to gentle strokes from the alicorn's hoof. Her soft whisper tickled his ear. “Actually, Shine, I think I do.” She pulled him tighter to herself. “Did you really think I wouldn't see you looking at me that way? Did you think I wouldn't know why you enjoyed feeling me every night?” He blushed in shame as her whispers continued. “Don't worry; I'm not mad at you. I know why you didn't do anything, why you didn't say anything. It was all for the foal. We both believed that it was better this way, and we made a commitment to not do anything that could harm our baby. I'll admit, I had my doubts that we could stick to it, but you proved your strength in all those months. I love you so much for that.
“But now that we know the truth,” she said a little softer, her muzzle moving ever closer to his ear, “I feel like we need to make up for some lost time.” She gently nibbled on the tip of his ear, and he twitched from the sensation. “Don't you think?”
There were no words he could have said that would have adequately expressed how much he agreed with her, so he used his mouth in an entirely different way. Cadance seemed surprised by the sudden and ferocious kiss, but she quickly eased into it and joined him in the dance of tangled tongues. He pushed forward more aggressively, their lips locked in what seemed like fierce combat. While neither side emerged a clear winner, both ponies certainly claimed victory.
Shining wanted to throw her to the floor, to straddle her and rut her with all of his might right there on the carpet. He barely contained that urge, instead opting to lunge back in for another kiss. This one was much shorter but just as intense, and both Cadance and he pulled away from it gulping down great lungfuls of air. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth, and his did the same. For a moment, he wondered if he looked a little silly, but that thought was cast aside in favor of his building desire.
Cadance spoke first. “Bedroom?”
Shining nodded. “Bedroom.”
They didn't gallop off to their bed like newlyweds intent on ravishing one another all through the night. Instead, they took it slow and steady, Cadance making sure to watch her steps and Shining standing by her side the entire way. It was a measure of safety, yes, but in a strange way, it felt more natural to Shining than simply rushing into an evening of frenzied passion. While the journey only lasted for about a minute, that was still another minute for him to enjoy the company of Cadance at his side before they lost themselves to the wonders of intimacy. He felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he realized how much both he and Cadance had grown closer over the years. Their gazes met, and the husband and wife smiled at one another as they crossed the threshold into their sleeping quarters.
As much as he appreciated their time together apart from making love, however, Shining felt that old familiar urge start to spike within him as both ponies approached the bed. The last few months had been a torture of sorts, and while it had been one he was willing to endure for the sake of their unborn foal, all the pent-up desire that had festered within him for those long, abstinent weeks began to bubble to the surface. He looked Cadance over thoroughly, allowing her curvy, enlarged body to work its special kind of magic and get him riled up. Already he felt himself slip free of his sheath.
The bed creaked as Cadance stepped onto it carefully, and it groaned in additional protest as Shining joined her. They leaned in to each other and kissed again, this time slowly and sensually. The stallion's head buzzed; his lust was nigh uncontrollable, but he held back. As they pulled away, Shining said, “How did you want to get started?”
Cadance winked at him. “I've seen how much you like my new body, Shine,” she said with a sultry tone. She turned and lay down flat on her back, her wings spreading out on either side of her enlarged pink midsection. Her head leaned back into the pillows, her eyes ablaze with growing passion. She beckoned with a hoof and added, “So why don't you see what it's like up close?”
He suppressed the urge to dive right in, instead addressing a pressing concern. “Cadance, are you comfortable in that position? I don't want you to hurt yourself.”
She put a hoof to her mouth and giggled. “Don't worry, Shine, I'm just great. I've gotten used to lugging all this extra weight around.”
The stallion reached out a hoof and touched against his wife's swollen belly. An electric sensation coursed through him, one he hoped would be the first of many. “You know, Cadance, you're still the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria.” He leaned down and kissed the top of her distended midsection. “In fact, I think you might be even prettier than you were before with a foal in there.” He started to rub her pink coat in little circles. Her flesh yielded easily to his gentle pressure.
“Mmm, Shine,” Cadance said, her voice dripping with arousal. “You really think so?” He nodded and continued his ministrations, moving his hoof slowly up the mountain of her pregnant body. Her sultry tone sent his mind reeling, as did the feel of her body beneath his hoof. He nuzzled against her soft belly and inhaled deeply as she went on. “You want to touch me all over, don't you? You just can't get enough of how big I am right now.” Her hoof came to rest atop his, following him as he traced the curve of her swell. “Oh, Shine, you naughty stallion, do you want to ride me rough and watch my big, bulging belly bounce up and down?”
“Honey, I think you've uncovered my one weakness,” Shining said with a smile.
“Pregnant mares?” Cadance asked with a grin.
“Nope,” Shining answered, shaking his head. He rested his chin on the top of her stomach and stared into her eyes. “Alliteration.”
Cadance giggled, causing her entire body to shake. Her laughter subsided, and her face took on a look of pure lust. “Oh, Shine, I love you so much.”
“I love you too, Cadance,” Shining said. He planted another soft kiss on the top of her swollen stomach. “Let me show you just how much.” And with that, Shining Armor began his task of pleasing the mare he loved.
Her mountainous midsection received his undivided attention at first. He started at the peak and worked his way down in a spiral, his lips leaving little patches of moisture on her coat. Each kiss was followed by a lick and a nibble, and Cadance hummed out her pleasure as his mouth did its delicate work. His hooves were not idle; as he kissed every inch of her bulge, he used his front appendages to massage her sides just beneath where her belly began. She moaned out her approval, making no effort to stifle the sounds of her enjoyment. As he'd find a sensitive spot with either his mouth or his hooves, a little squeak or gasp would escape the princess, and he would give that spot another stroke or lick before moving on.
As soft and wonderful as her belly was, Shining Armor knew there was more mare to please, and so after several minutes, he moved down from the mountain and toward the hills that lay just beneath. Cadance's teats had begun to swell only a few weeks prior, filling up with milk in preparation for the coming foal. In the past, the alicorn's breasts had never proven to be a particularly erogenous zone, and as a result, Shining hadn't paid them much attention other than the occasional lick or light bite on an erect nipple. He had a thought, however; now that they'd become a bit larger, they might prove to be more sensitive. To test his hypothesis, he traced a long, slow lick across the top of Cadance's right breast.
Her sudden twitch and cry of “Oh!” confirmed his suspicion. He raised his head to look at her over the top of her swollen womb. “Did that feel good, Cadance?”
She bit her lower lip and nodded quickly. With a sly smile, Shining lowered his head back down and licked her other breast, eliciting a very similar reaction from the alicorn. His hooves migrated from their positions at either side of her midsection to fondle both breasts as his mouth went back to work, kissing first one teat then the other. Cadance shivered slightly under his attention, and Shining felt his spirit of adventure kick in. A long, slow lick from the base of her left breast to the waiting nipple ended with his mouth clamping down around the little pink nub, and with his hoof pressing gently into the side of the teat, he suckled.
He should have expected what came next, but his lust-clouded mind was starting to cut off his capacity for rational thought. Still, when the first hint of sweet liquid touched against his tongue, his eyes flew wide open and he pulled his head back in surprise. At the same time, Cadance's back arched, and she let loose an exclamation of “Ooh, Shine!” He peered down to her teat to see a thin trickle of white liquid dribbling out of the nipple and running down the side of her breast. He ducked his head down and licked up the leaking milk, smacking his lips at the incredibly sweet taste. From the head of the bed, he heard Cadance say, “Shine, that was...oh, wow, I've never felt anything like that before.”
Once again, he raised his head so that he could see her face. She was staring at the ceiling with glassy eyes, clearly enjoying herself a great deal. Shining smiled to see her experiencing such pleasure, and he got her attention with a nudge. “You all right, Cadance?” he asked.
She lowered her gaze to meet his, and a drunken smile spread across her features. “Did you...did you suck on my breast, Shine?”
“Yes ma'am,” Shining answered with a cheeky grin.
Her eyes narrowed. “Do it again.” It was not a request.
Shining Armor gave her a playful salute and lowered his head back down to her waiting teats. His wife and princess had just given him an order, and he was going to carry it out to the utmost of his ability. First on one breast and then the other, Shining closed his mouth around Cadance's nipples and suckled gently, and each time, a fresh supply of mare's milk came flowing out and danced across his tongue with saccharine sweetness. He made sure to slurp up any that leaked out. All the while, Cadance rolled her head from side to side and groaned out her appreciation; amidst the expressions of pleasure, he managed to make out a few words. “Oh, it's a rush that I've never felt before...sweet Celestia, that feels so good...don't stop, Shine, don't stop!” He certainly had no plans to.
He went on for several minutes, guzzling down a great deal of his wife's delicious milk. As he raised his head to take a breath and lick the lingering remnants of white liquid from his lips and chin, Cadance got his attention again with a question. “Shine, does it – does it taste good?”
He smacked his lips as though he were sampling some fine cuisine, then looked down at Cadance. “It's wonderful, honey. It's so much sweeter than the milk from the market.” Shining nudged against his wife's bulge. “I'm actually kinda jealous of this little tyke. He's gonna love drinking this stuff.”
Cadance let out another giggle, a sound that still warmed Shining's heart even after years of hearing it. “Oh Shine, there's no need to be jealous; I'll be sure to let you have your share of it too.” She winked at him. “Besides, it feels...well, it's a little hard to describe, but it's like some part of me deep inside is just rushing out, and it's so strange and new and amazing.” Her eyes took on a look of wonder, and a fresh blush of red spread across her cheeks. “Do you...do you think I could have a taste?”
Shining paused for a moment, considering her request and how to grant it, but then an idea struck him. “Sure, Cadance,” he said before ducking down to squeeze and milk her right teat one more time. This time, however, he didn't swallow the milk that came flowing out, instead sloshing it around his mouth and keeping it trapped inside. The sensation of the sweetness on his tongue threatened to drive him absolutely crazy, but he maintained control and kept right on sucking, trying to gather a large enough sample for his wife to taste. After a few seconds of suckling, he stood up and stepped forward, bringing his head down to meet Cadance's. She thrust her muzzle forward to kiss him, and he tilted his head to the side and opened his mouth. She did the same, and Shining allowed the milk he'd stored to flow from his mouth into hers.
She gulped down the liquid eagerly, and her tongue darted into his mouth to slurp up any last remnants of her milk that remained inside. He waited patiently while she licked against every part of him, from his tongue and teeth to the roof of his mouth. Her exploration of him caused his heart to beat rapidly, and the taste of his lover's tongue mingling with the lingering flavor of her milk sent his mind reeling. With one last flick of her tongue against his, she pulled her head away from the kiss, licking her lips. “You're right,” she said with a grin. “That is sweet.”
“Just like you,” Shining said, and he leaned down to kiss her neck. He'd dearly missed being this close to Cadance, and after months without true intimate contact, he was aroused nearly beyond belief. His stallionhood throbbed and pulsed, desperate for attention, but Shining held back, waiting for Cadance's go-ahead.
She wrapped her hooves around the back of his neck while he nibbled gently at hers. She let out a soft coo of pleasure before raising her head toward his ear. Her whisper was harsh and needy, but full of love and desire. “Please, Shine, I'm ready.”
He brought his head up and locked eyes with her. Those were the words he'd been waiting to hear, but he needed to be absolutely certain. “Are you sure?”
She smiled softly, belying the inferno of lust that was her gaze. “Very sure. I think we've waited long enough.”
“I couldn't agree more,” Shining said, and he kissed the end of her nose before stepping back. Once again, he found his eyes tracing the swell of her midsection, his member twitching with desire at the sight of his beautiful, expectant wife. His stare moved down to the twin peaks of her breasts, her nipples glistening with both his saliva and a few tiny droplets of milk that had somehow escaped his eager tongue. Still lower went his gaze, and he paused for a moment to drink in the view of his lover's swollen marehood. Her lower lips stood out a slightly darker pink than the coat around them, and he couldn't help but swallow hard when he spied the trickle of moisture leaking out of her. She hadn't been lying; she was ready.
Her voice broke his concentration. “Shine, please,” she said in something between a whine and a moan, and he knew she'd been kept waiting long enough. He too felt months of primal desire come rushing to the surface, and he quickly moved forward and lined up his stallionhood, his front hooves planted on the bed on either side of Cadance. As he pressed his sensitive head against her entrance, he gasped, his member finally receiving some attention after far too long of a wait. Cadance also gasped, clearly worked up after the evening's activities and her own pent-up need, but before Shining plunged into her, she said softly, “Be gentle, Shine.”
He smiled down at her. “Of course, honey.” Even in the throes of passion, he knew they needed to be careful. As if to remind himself why, Shining took another look at Cadance's belly, inside which rested a foal who would soon see the light of day for the first time. The thought sobered Shining just a little, and he tensed his hips and rocked forward slowly.
His brain nearly burst from the sensation of his wife's tight passage; while it was a feeling he would never forget, after months of abstinence, he swore that it felt better than ever before. With gritted teeth he moaned, relishing in the warmth that began to envelop him ever so slowly. Cadance added her own lust-filled groan, and she threw her head back against the pillows as Shining penetrated her for the first time in months.
He barely had to do any work during the initial thrust. Not only was Cadance soaking wet, but her inner walls also seemed to grip him and pull him further in with very little effort on his part. It seemed that her entire body missed him; he definitely shared that sentiment. He drew in deep, desperate breaths as inch after inch of his stallionhood sank into his wife. He could barely contain himself, even just from that first push into Cadance. His member tingled and throbbed as it experienced the warmth and wetness of Cadance's passage for what felt like the first time, and Shining ground his teeth as he bottomed out, his hips bumping against hers. His mind reeled with the intense pleasure, and he struggled to regain control of his senses before going on.
Beneath him, Cadance continued to express herself through lusty groans and elongated moans, and her head rolled from side to side against the pillows. Encouraged by the sight of his wife thoroughly enjoying herself, Shining started the arduous process of pulling back, Cadance's inner walls resisting the entire way out. Several seconds of intense pleasure later, only his head remained inside, and both he and Cadance panted as he prepared to make his next plunge.
As much as Shining Armor wanted to buck his hips forward over and over again, pounding his wife hard, he kept his composure and started a rhythm of long, slow, deep thrusts. In and out he went, every inch an exercise in joyous torture as her marehood clenched around his thickness like it was begging him to stay buried inside her forever. His stallionhood throbbed and twitched with each descent into her, the pleasure proving to be just about all he could handle. Both ponies let their elation be known with various sounds of growing bliss that echoed through their bedchambers.
Amidst the assault of ecstasy on Shining's senses, he heard Cadance's voice. “Shine! Ah! Harder, please!”
He kept his pace steady and asked, “Are you – hah – sure?”
“Yes!” she cried. “Please!”
Shining dug his rear hooves into the bedsheets and started to pick up his speed, thrusting into Cadance with increasing vigor and intensity. She cried out her approval with exclamations of “Yes!” at the apex of each thrust, and her shouts only drove him to go faster and harder. The bed squeaked and groaned beneath the two ponies as the husband rutted his wife at a quicker and quicker pace, his entire body tensing up from the effort that was more than worth it. Each push brought him that much closer to the end, but he held on as he pounded Cadance hard and fast.
What finally sent Shining Armor over the edge was not the feel of his wife's marehood milking his stallionhood for all it was worth, nor was it her lust-filled cries and shrieks of sheer bliss. What did him in was looking down at her midsection. Her swollen belly bounced in tandem with her milk-engorged breasts, her entire body absolutely heaving with every thrust he made into her. There was so much more of her, and every last part was thrown forward each time he buried his length into her, then settled back into position when he retracted, only to begin the process all over again. It only took a few seconds of watching in awe and wonder for Shining to feel all the pleasure inside him build up to a massive climax.
He was powerless to stop it, and with a roar of “Cadance!” the stallion pushed his hips forward into hers and absolutely exploded. A deluge of seed poured out of him, all the months of desire manifested in an unbelievably huge load. Over and over again he trembled as another shot of cum burst forth from deep within him, and each time he thought he couldn't possibly have any left, another shock of pleasure would wrack his body and release another spurt of semen into the depths of his lover.
In the midst of his elongated orgasm, Shining heard Cadance call out his name as well, and her marehood clenched tightly around him. The sudden rush of warmth and wetness over every inch of his length only intensified the pleasure of his high, and as one, the two ponies shivered and shook with the force of their incredibly strong orgasms. Wordless gasps and grunts signaled the satisfying conclusion of their lovemaking, and both stallion and mare shut their eyes tight as their bodies convulsed in utter bliss.
At last, after what seemed like an impossibly long orgasm, Shining felt the last of his seed dribble out of the end of his stallionhood, and he rolled to the side as his knees weakened. For several long minutes, he just drew in deep breaths while his hoof idly stroked his wife's side; he wasn't entirely lucid after such mind-blowing sex. Eventually, his senses returned one by one, and he became more aware of Cadance beside him. Her eyes were shut tight, and her breathing was slow just like his had been. For a moment, he was concerned, but those fears were quickly allayed when her eyelids fluttered open. He leaned his head forward and kissed her on the cheek, and she met his gaze with a satisfied smile. “Shine,” she whispered, reaching her hoof up to softly stroke his face. “Thank you so much.”
The stallion mimicked his wife's motion, rubbing her cheek with his hoof. “No, thank you,” Shining said. “You're an amazing mare, you know.” His hoof slid down to her swollen womb, and he gently caressed her. “This little foal is going to be one lucky pony to have a mother like you.”
“And a father like you,” Cadance said, nuzzling him gently with her nose.
“I love you so much, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza,” Shining whispered as he scooted closer to his lover.
“And I love you, Captain Shining Armor,” Cadance replied. She cuddled against his body and closed her eyes. Shining continued to stroke her distended belly while her breathing slowed down; soon, she was asleep, her hoof wrapped around him and her head resting on his shoulder. He gave her a soft kiss on the end of her horn, and she twitched a little but stayed asleep. Shining's own eyes soon shut, and the exhaustion from the night's efforts quickly overtook him. Held securely in each other's hooves, the two ponies slipped into a deep, restful slumber, each one dreaming of the other and the promise of the new foal who would soon join their family.
