Rarity sighed as she walked down the halls of the Crystal Castle. Rainbow, Applejack, Fluttershy and herself had all been tasked with helping Shining Armor set everything up for The Crystaling of his new-born Alicorn foal. So far, it had gone rather... well, to say it had been going smoothly up until that point would have been quite the lie. In fact, the frazzled father had practically maimed a pair of his own guards just by choosing them to be his Honor Guards for the ceremony. He then followed that up by almost having a heart-attack from just choosing the Crystal of Purity from her professionally organized and very fashionably-housed box of crystals!

Scanning the rest of the group to make sure nopony was paying attention to her, she brought out the blue-green box and looked at the five crystal shards held within. ‘I mean, really, how hard is it to choose from a spread of such distinctive gems?’

She sighed again as she turned towards the stallion leading them down the hall, frowning as Shining tripped over himself and almost fell flat on his face. ‘Hmm… I suppose he HAS been feeling a little under the weather lately… I'm sure having a baby Alicorn can be somewhat of a challenge. Celestia above, I don't want to even think what it would be like to not get my beauty sleep every night!’

She watched him stagger forward for a few moments, feeling a strange sense of sympathy for the stallion so suddenly thrust into the realms of fatherhood. It was as if the strapping stallion she had met at his wedding had been drained of his youth! In fact, something seemed a little… off. What it was, she wasn’t sure, but the stallion certainly seemed to be a little tenser than just a lack of sleep would imply.

Rarity's frown deepend as her generosity formed an ache in her chest. ‘If only there was a way to help him relieve some of that stress… I'd hate to see him so out of it for such an important da-’

A sudden flash of movement coming from between the stallion’s legs caught her eye. Squinting, she did her best to focus past the tail partially obstructing her view. She caught another sliver of the dark mass swinging back and forth underneath the stallion’s stomach, though it wasn't enough to identify exactly what it was.

‘Strange… what is tha- oh. Oh my…’

The snow white fur of Rarity’s cheeks turned bright red with a blush. The strange appendage-like form swaying beneath the Prince was, embarrassingly to her, his half-erect royal scepter. The rather... impressive, if Rarity was being honest with herself, length had dropped from the confines of its fleshy home and now dangled freely towards the floor. Judging by the fact that Shining did nothing to hide his part-boner from the group of mares walking right behind him, the sleep-deprived father had apparently not noticed it himself.

Rarity nervously glanced at the rest of her friends. Seeing the casual gait with which they followed the unknowingly-indecent stallion, it appeared that they either hadn’t noticed or were much better at hiding their unease than herself. Nevertheless, seeing as Shining was already having a rough time of it lately, she decided she might as well be the one to inform the poor Prince of his peculiar predicament.

Picking up the pace, but not enough that her gait might be called un-ladylike, she caught up to the stumbling form of Shining Armor and walked side-by-side with him for a moment. A blast of his scent washed over her senses as she reached him, stronger than what Rarity would call normal due to what she assumed was a slight lapse in hygiene from the various difficulties that came with having a newborn foal. Strangely enough, however, she felt the pair of lips hidden beneath her tail dampen as the musk began to cloud her mind.

With a blush growing on her face, Rarity leaned in and whispered into Shining’s ear. “Uhm… Shining?”

Shining lurched away with a yelp, once again nearly falling over onto the ground. “AH! Huh, wha…” He glanced over at Rarity and shook his head, hoping to clear some of the cobwebs that just didn’t seem to want to break away from his mind. “Oh, Rarity… sorry about that.”

She gave him a warm smile, or at least as warm a smile one could give when you were trying to notify somepony about the erection they had swinging in the air beneath them. “No worries, dear. I know being a new father has been rather… tough on you.”

Shining wearily chuckled. “Yeah… mostly the lack of sleep…” His eyes started to drift close until they popped back open with a start. “Ugh... What I would do for a moment to relax…”

Rarity felt the blush on her face heat up. “Well, uh, Shining… let’s just say that a certain part of you is certainly ‘relaxed’ right now…”

“Huh?” He glanced between his legs as Rarity tilted her head a couple times beneath him. His head popped back up with an embarrassed blush on his face as he saw just what the mare was getting at. “Oh! Oh my gosh! I’m… I’m so sorry!”

Rarity comfortingly placed a hoof on his shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, dear. Like I said, I know it’s been tough.”

Shining sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah, uh… between the end of Cadance’s pregnancy and all the troubles we’ve had with the foal, I haven't really had the chance to, uh… ‘relieve’ myself in quite some time.”

Once again Rarity felt a dampness beneath her tail, this time accompanied by a wave of warmth washing over both her cheeks and her lower lips. ‘Haven’t relieved himself in a while, huh? Hmm…’

Her face perked up as a metaphorical bulb lit up inside her head. 'Ideaaa~!'

She checked both sides of the hall, a devilish smirk growing on her lips as she saw a small guest room just ahead. Turning towards the rest of her friends, her horn lit up and began pushing the near-comatose Shining towards the door. “Oh, girls! I’m going to, uh…” She glanced at the exhausted stallion looking back at her with a half-questioning, half-frayed look in his eyes. “Ummm… freshen Shining Armor up a little. You know, make him look fabulous for his big day!”

Fluttershy, looking a little more worried than what was normal for the perpetually-nervous mare, glanced at both her and Shining in rapid succession. “Oh, um… would you like some help?”

Rarity chuckled and waved her off, hoping the light laughter didn’t sound as nervous to her friends as it did to herself. “Oh ho ho, Fluttershy, you are too kind! Thanks for the offer, but no, I think I can take care of this myself. Just, uh… wait out here for a moment. It’ll only take a minute!”

With that she shoved Shining into the room, slamming the door behind her without ever turning back to look back at her friends.

Applejack and Rainbow shared an incredulous glance at one another. “You see her checking out Shining’s junk?”

Applejack nodded. “Mhmm. That girl’s easier to read than an apple tree in harvest season.” She smiled, one that was perfectly mirrored on her friend’s face. “Wanna listen in?”

Rainbow chuckled. “Ya dang right I do!”

With that, both Rainbow and Applejack dashed up and pressed their ears to the door, an embarrassed Fluttershy standing in the middle of the hall behind them.

“Oh my…”

Rarity had no problems tossing the sleep-deprived stallion up onto the bed, leaving Shining Armor flat on his back with his hind legs dangling off the side of the mattress. The dark shaft between his legs swung into position, a slowly inflating obelisk of masculinity that made her mouth water and her marehood moisten as it pointed towards the ceiling.

Shining rubbed the side of his head, somewhat dazed from being so unceremoniously dumped onto his back. “R-Rarity? What… what are you doing?”

Rarity stood between his spread out legs, licking her lips as her eyes trailed up the center of the his trim musculature. “Mmm… I’m just… helping you relieve some stress, is all.”

Shining blushed, blood rushing through his body in two different directions as his cheeks lit up in step with his stallionhood growing to full mast. “B-but… what about…?”

“Shh…” She placed a hoof on his stomach, smiling to herself as she felt the muscles hidden beneath his fur clench at the sudden contact. “Let Miss Rarity take care of you…”

Her hoof trailed down past his waist as she knelt down, bringing her face within inches of the prize sitting between his legs. She caught another whiff of his scent, this time properly diagnosing it as a stallion’s lustful musk that had built up over several weeks rather than any lack of proper hygiene. Her eyes fluttered closed as it permeated her senses, and as her hoof reached the base of his shaft she leaned in and puckered her lips.

Shining’s entire body shuddered as she placed a kiss right on the tip of his cock. A deep, guttural moan escaped his lips as her hoof wrapped around the bottom, and he let himself relax atop the bed as Rarity began making a trail of kisses down the underside of his stallionhood. “Ohhh… Rarity....”

She chuckled to herself, washing the base of the rod she worshiped with a blast of warm air. “Mmm…” - she kissed just above the ring at the center of his length - “That’s it…” - She kissed the bulging vein running down the entire shaft, moaning as she felt Shining’s balls press into her chin - “Good boy."

Each touch of Rarity’s soft lips against him sent shockwaves of pleasure racing up his spine, and when she planted a wet smooch on the center of his balls he nearly sat upright from the resulting blast of bliss. Instead, he simply accepted his fate. A nice, relaxing ‘oral session’ would probably do wonders for his nerves, and the tingling in his balls that grew as Rarity kissed each of his orbs certainly showed his lower half had no problems with letting the mare do whatever she pleased.

Rarity reached the end of her journey, kissing the base of his balls before reversing her direction back towards the shaft that called out to her for help as it throbbed in need. This time, however, she opened up the gates of her lips and let loose the tool of pleasure hidden within. Her tongue dragged up the crux between Shining’s twin sperm-silos, bunching up the skin and lifting the sac ever so slightly from its resting spot against his body before letting it fall back down with a fleshy smack. Both she and Shining let out matching moans when she reached the ground floor to his tower of lust, the stallion's distinct flavor stronger around the bunched up skin of his sheath.

Shining brought a foreleg up to his head and draped it over his eyes. “Ohhh… Celestia above, Rarity…” One of his hind legs began to twitch as the white succubus between his legs began her trek up his spire of lust, kicking weakly in an effort to curb the assault of pleasure coming from his crotch as she passed the halfway point of his length in record time.

Rarity chuckled as she reached the summit of Mt. Shining, the playful laughter transforming into a heated moan as she flicked her tongue across the bead of pre that had formed at the peak. “Mmm… you haven’t seen anything yet, my Prince…”

Shining picked his head up and glanced at the mare between his legs. Rarity gave him a warm smile and a couple tugs on his shaft with her hoof, causing another pearl to form at the top of his stallionhood. She kept her eyes on his as her tongue darted out and scooped it up, swirling the small sample of his essence in her mouth for a moment before swallowing with an over-the-top “Ahhh…”.

After planting one final kiss on the tip of his cock, Rarity gave him a slyly wink and turned her attention to his needy length. This time, rather than puckering her lips and pecking the top of his stallionhood, she pressed her mouth against it and let the steel rod between his legs forcefully pry them open on its own.

Shining let his head fall back onto the bed and groaned. The wet warmth that had suddenly enveloped the first couple inches of his shaft were indescribable! He had received plenty of blowjobs from Cadance before, and don’t get him wrong, the love of his life was an expert at all things carnal. But now, after going so long without a single touch to his tool of lust, it seemed as though his sensitivity had gone through the roof. That, plus the fact Rarity was no slouch as she slobbered over his rod and brought a hoof up to rub at his balls, already had the frazzled stallion near the edge of orgasm.

And then Rarity pushed herself down all the way into his lap, taking his entire length into her maw.

Shining’s head snapped up and stared down at her in awe. He gasped as he saw that, even with her nose shoved into his fur and her chin resting against his balls, her eyes were still focused on his. There was a mad gleam to them, and Shining felt like he would be somewhat afraid of it if not for the humid sauna his cock now found itself in. Instead, he gave her a rather crooked smile and, with his eyes, begged for her to continue.

Rarity smirked, or at least as well as she could with over a foot-long rod of stallion flesh shoved between her lips, and with another wink towards the flabbergasted Prince she began to fulfill his request. Inch after inch of spit-soaked shaft slipped between her lips, the oversensitive flare at the tip of his cock dragging across the top of the constricting tunnel that was her throat. His eyes widened as she reached the very tip of his length, his body shivered as she lapped at the flat head still held in her mouth, and then he released the breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding in as a gasp as she sunk back down in one smooth motion.

His eyes rolled to the back of his head as the paragon of pleasure between his legs once again took him to the base of his cock, the mare swallowing a couple of times to massage the top half of his length with her throat before pulling away once more. She settled into a rhythm, striking the top of his rod with quick lashes of her tongue before taking himself to the base with such skill he swore she had done this plenty of times before. Once there, she would swallow and moan around his stallionhood, and then the entire cycle of carnality would repeat again. And again. And again.

It didn’t take long for Rarity to feel the weighty orbs sloshing with weeks-worth of pent up stallion cream start to pull away from her hooves up towards Shining’s body. The thought of taking in the Prince’s most primal of essences into her body brought forth a moan from her lungs and a pleasure-filled flutter to her marehood. She felt the burning desire between her legs grow, a siren’s call pleading with her to take care of the ache below her waist. However, this was all for the stressed out stallion laying on the bed. So, feeling generous, she kept her focus on the task at hoof and hastened the bobs of her head.

Shining kept his eyes clenched shut, leaving him with only the cacophony of lewd noises coming from the mare and the sensation of somepony sucking his cock like a pro. Had his mind been clear and his body well rested, he would have certainly tried to hold off his climax for as long as possible to maximize its impact. Sadly for him, he was most certainly not at his peak physique, and within moments each bob of Rarity's head was another push against his psyche to just give in and let it happen. He moved a hoof down and pressed it against Rarity's cheek, hoping that she might slow her incessant swallows around his cock to give him a chance to recuperate.

Instead, it would prove to be his downfall.

Rarity rubbed her cheek against his hoof and moaned. The added vibrations around his cock were too much for Shining, who brought his hoof back up and slammed both his forelegs onto the bed. The flare at the top of his cock expanded with blood and a tidal wave of seed began the trek up the length of his shaft. He let loose his loudest moan so far, biting down on a hoof to help mask it even as he wrapped his hind legs around the back of Rarity’s head to hold her against his crotch. His entire body shuddered as the first blast of sticky white cream erupted from the head of his stallionhood, firing his thick load straight into the hungry mare's stomach as she attempted to milk him dry.

Rarity smiled to herself as she felt the fleshy tube shoved down her throat throb and a weighty warmth start to build in her belly. She pulled herself back enough to get a taste of his seed straight from the tap, moaning as the salty fluid washed over her tastebuds and quickly filled her mouth to the brim. In fact, she had to swallow each time the stallionhood held between her lips throbbed lest she start to spill her bountiful harvest. Both luckily and disappointingly for her, the built up stores of seed Shining had accumulated over the past couple weeks wouldn't last forever. Eventually the jets of seed slowed to a small trickle, and as that happened Rarity let all but the tip of his length escape her grasp. She lazily lapped at the tip of Shining's cock, loving how each drag of her tongue against the overly-sensitive flare got a shudder from its owner. She pulled away as the tap finally ran dry, lovingly planting a parting kiss on his balls just before she stood up.

He sighed as his senses returned to him, body too weak to move from his current position on the bed.

“Whew… Well, THAT was something…”

Rarity giggled, bringing out a small towel from the bathroom attached to the guest room and wiped a thick glob of seed clinging to the corner of her lips. “Hmm… Yeah…” Finished cleaning her face, she carefully brought the cloth down between her legs and began to gently wipe off the juices that had been slowly leaking from her marehood. “Ah!...” She glanced over at the bed as Shining finally found the strength to move, sitting up with his balls and slowly deflating shaft hanging over the edge of the mattress. “So… feel any better?”

Shining chuckled. “Oh yeah, much better…” He got up on wobbly hooves and wearily made his way over to her as she finished up cleaning herself. Taking the towel as she handed it over, he began to wipe up the mix of spit and seed from his crotch as his shaft returned to the fleshy home of his sheath. “Mmm… thanks…” He glanced up at her face and noticed the heated blush across her cheeks, the close proximity filling his senses with her needy scent. “You, uh… need me to return the favor?”

Rarity smiled and gave him a soft peck on the cheek. “Don’t worry about it, darling.” She took the towel back from him, nonchalantly tossing it back onto the bathroom floor as she made her way to the door. Just before she opened it, she glanced back over her shoulder at him. “Though, maybe when this is all over, I'll take you up on that offer?”

Shining enthusiastically nodded his head. "Sure!" He rushed his way up to her and placed his own hoof on the door, nudging it open to let her pass. "Ladies fir-"

The door suddenly slammed into something heavy, a feminine cry of "Ow!" coming from the other side of the door alongside a sudden scampering of hoofsteps. Rarity frowned and made her way out to the hall, finding Rainbow and Applejack sitting next to the door and nonchalantly studying their hooves.

"Well hello, girls. I sure hope you two weren't listening on our private conversation..."

Applejack averted her gaze. "What? Me? Nah, I'm just... making sure mah hoof is all nice and, uh... nice. And stuff." Her mouth scrunched up as Rarity gave her the stink eye, beads of sweat starting to form on her forehead as she struggled with obviously lying to her friend.

Rainbow, on the other hoof, simply rolled her eyes and gave Rarity a pout of her own. "Hey, you try not to listen in when ya got two ponies bangi-"

Applejack's well placed hoof silenced the pegasus before she could speak any more, and when Rainbow glared at her she nodded her head towards the doorway. There, an embarrassed Shining Armor sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, a blush as bright as either of theirs settled across his cheek.

Rarity cleared her throat. "Alright, with that settled..." She glared at her two friends again, daring them to say anything else on the subject. "Let's be on our way to the Crystal Heart. The rest should be there by now." She turned towards Shining, giving him the warmest smile she could muster given the embarrassing circumstance. "Lead the way, Shining!"

Shining Armor smiled back, either not noticing the unease with which the rest of the group looked at him or just not caring. "Alright, let's go!" He passed by the rest of the group, not even noticing the beat-red face of Fluttershy still standing in the same spot as she had been before. As he passed Rarity, he gave her a smile and a wink and whispered ever so lightly a genuine, heartfelt "Thanks."

Rarity's mouth split open in a grin. Stepping in line behind the Prince, who now had a noticeable spring to his step, she chuckled and patted herself on the back for another job well done.

Author's Notes:

So, there it is. Part one in a series of shorter clop-fics I hope to make in order to challenge myself. Strangely, this one turned out both longer AND shorter than I had anticipated, but, given the rules I set for myself when starting this, this was all I could get out in a single day.

I'll start (and hopefully finish) part two of the season opener tomorrow with a story featuring our newly reformed Starlight and her new-old friend, Sunburst. So, expect to see more soon! Thumbs up if you liked it, comment on why you didn't, yada yada yada.
