Dear Sombra,

Your presence is requested for tonight in our living quarters at Nine O’Clock. If you’re not able to attend, or feel uncomfortable doing so, then please inform me before then as soon as possible. Otherwise, please come as you are. Princess Cadance and I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Sincerely,
Prince Consort Shining Armor

No matter how many times he scanned the words on that suspiciously short note, the charcoal stallion couldn’t help feeling a little surprised by it being sent to him personally. His fanged muzzle skewed a bit while looking over the note, which had been folded and unfolded enough times to look well-weathered in less than a day. Of course, despite how vague the letter itself may have been, Sombra knew exactly what the Prince was requesting upon his presence. Part of him wanted to be wary, or even offended that the new rulers of the Crystal Empire would even contemplate such a thing from him; however, considering how it’s been almost a year since he returned to the castle under strict probation, the rehabilitated Ex-Tyrant had a feeling this arrangement was planned out for quite some time.

Back when he was first unearthed in the Frozen North completely alive and preserved (albeit, frozen and encased in a giant hunk of ice), Sombra expected he’d wind up chained in Tartarus alongside Lord Tirek. But surprisingly enough, the former tyrannical King of the Crystal Empire was not only offered a chance at redeeming himself, but to also live in the very castle he once oversaw as a probationary “guest.” Even though he originally planned to take over the Kingdom and rule as he once had, his demeanor changed fairly quickly upon learning how much had changed since his time. The last thing Sombra wanted to do was submit to someone as incompetent as Princess Celestia, or to have her niece oversee his land as her own; however, after learning how a group of fillies managed to overpower Discord, Tirek, Chrysalis, The Storm King, and Nightmare Moon, the Ex-King proved wise enough to know he wouldn’t fare much better.

So instead of plotting to overrule the Crystal Empire, Sombra had grown to be content with his current living arrangements. He may have hated being on House-Arrest in the Crystal Castle, but he understood it was for his safety from the thousands of Crystal Ponies eager to lynch him outside. And during his time learning about modern Equestrian society, as well as his mandatory friendship lessons, the former Tyrant had to admit that Princess Cadance and Shining Armor weren’t nearly as incompetent in ruling his Empire as he expected. In fact, by the time he was able to get a new prosthetic horn to replace the one that had broken off (which also removed nearly all of the Dark Magic that resided within him), he was able to acknowledge and even respect the couple as proper leaders to the Crystal Empire.

But alas, even with all the positive publicity between him and the married couple, Sombra had a feeling something was unseen by the masses even before that note was sent to him that night.

At first, Sombra just had a few brief suspicions in regards to the two, mostly due to how they acted around him alone in comparison to around others. Shining Armor would usually be a little more timid if he was around the Ex-Tyrant by himself, but still acted overly friendly for some reason. As for Princess Cadance, Sombra almost felt like he was being studied by her whenever they were alone due to how much she stared at him. The former King never said anything about either of the ponies’ behavior, and just assumed that social norms had changed over the millenium he was gone; but as of the last couple of months, Sombra was able to understand they wanted something else.

By the time Sombra received that note, he had already been given five different books over the months that involved some rather… unexpected themes. He may have never mentioned his thoughts on the risquè texts towards either of them, nor his feelings about the subject matters that were highlighted within bookmarked pages; however, he did read through them alongside the other textbooks required by Princess Twilight. With all of that “homework” given to him, alongside the couple’s suspiciously nice attitudes in private, the former Tyrant had a feeling what he would be in for if he complied to that letter. But instead of brushing it off as a weird joke, or even questioning what their ultimate goal was, Sombra was curious enough to accept the invitation by the time Nine came around.

Surprisingly enough, Sombra didn’t see any ponies as he walked down the crystal halls on his own. Even though he was grateful for that, part of him pondered whether or not the couple arranged for him to be unseen that particular night. Of course, that theory seemed to be pretty much confirmed when he arrived outside of Shining and Cadance's bedroom door. Instead of any Crystal Guards perched outside the doorway, it was only Sombra who stood before what used to be his old living quarters.

After looking around the vacant hallway, not seeing anypony from either end of the massive space, the stallion huffed before shrugging his shoulders briefly. Since he left his own quarters about ten minutes before Nine, Sombra saw no harm in knocking a little early. He gave the large crystal door three firm knocks with his hoof, even though he was unsure what might be waiting on the other side. Fortunately for the Ex-Tyrant, he was greeted by the sight of Princess Cadance herself as she opened the door and smiled upon seeing him.

“Oh, hi there, Sombra!~” she chirped quite happily, almost as if she was greeting someone who hadn’t tried to murder her and enslave the Crystal Empire just a few years prior. Regardless, the reformed Sombra was able to nod with a light smile of his own. Meanwhile, the Princess stepped back and opened the door wide to invite him inside. “Please, come on in. Shining is still in the bathroom getting prepared.”

Sombra nodded a second time before walking inside, his eyes widening upon seeing how lavishly different the bedroom looked now. Even though he expected a lighter-colored decor due to a woman living here now, he was rather surprised when he saw just how drastically his old living space looked. His old King-sized bed remained in the middle of the space (mostly since it couldn’t be moved due to the crystal frame being imbedded to the floor), but his red satin sheets looked to have been replaced with a lavender linen beneath the dozens of ornate pillows. All of the armor and weaponry he once bestowed across the walls were now replaced with flower vases, and photographs of the entire Sparkle family. Even though he wasn’t particularly uncomfortable by how much his old bedroom changed, he couldn’t help cringing a bit when he saw the gigantic portrait of Flurry Heart by the bathroom door.

Cadance seemed to have noticed him staring towards that picture as well, and was quick to light up her horn so the frame could be flipped around. “Just so you know,” she said towards Sombra before he could get the chance to speak, “Sunburst is foal-sitting Flurry tonight. The guards have been dismissed by my orders, and the castle staff have been informed not to disturb our room or yours unless absolutely necessary.”

As she explained the precautions she and Shining took, Sombra’s brows rose with an impressed look on his face. With the way she made those points so casually while turning over all the other pictures in the bedroom, it was as if the Princess saw his presence as completely normal. Regardless, Sombra took a breath before he spoke while scratching the back of his mane. “Ummm… Wow, I… I wouldn’t have expected you to think this far ahead, your Highness.”

“Oh, you don’t have to call me that right now,” replied Cadance with a roll of her eyes, not even bothering to glance back at him as she finished up. However, as soon as the last picture frame of Twilight Sparkle was turned around, the Princess turned back to Sombra with a half-lidded gaze, and a more notable smirk on her muzzle. “Considering how you agreed to come here tonight, I have a feeling you don’t have to act so formal around the two of us~”

If there was any reasoning in Sombra’s mind that the couple’s intentions weren’t what he assumed they would be, they were completely vanquished when he saw how suggestively coy the Princess was smiling at him. Even though he already had it figured out, the Ex-King couldn’t help blushing a little as he smirked back at her. “Well, it would’ve been rather rude to not accept a Royal invitation, you know~”

Cadance kept her smile unchanged as she giggled a little, and shrugged before replying, “I suppose it would’ve been upsetting if you didn’t show up. And not just because he asked you to~”

After that cheekily inflected, and rather unsubtly-worded statement, the Princess narrowed her eyes on Sombra as she walked up towards him. The former King almost stepped back from Cadance's knowing grin, not expecting her to be acting so forward behind closed doors. But just as she got less than a foot from him, the Alicorn brought up her hoof to softly drag down Sombra’s tuft of chest fur. “Sooooo… just so we’re clear,” she said while peering up at him with a deceptively innocent-looking smile, and a quick batter of her eyes, “you are aware why we asked you to come up here, right?~”

Sombra bit his lip the instant Cadance began to touch his chest, and his blush felt a little hotter across his cheeks. Luckily for the Ex-Tyrant, his curious smile was unchanged as he responded honestly. “Well, even though Shining’s note didn’t provide me with much info, I have a feeling it’s related to all of that… literature I was provided?~”

“Exactly~” purred the Princess as her tone grew much more suggestive, and her smile widened to show off her pearly white teeth. But despite how satisfied she appeared with Sombra’s answer, she still tilted her head as she asked, “Soooo, you don’t need any clarification on what we want?”

Sombra’s own smile looked just as knowing of the truth as Cadance's. However, he still felt the need to answer with a reluctant shrug of his head. “I feel like I should say no, but... Given the circumstances, I’d rather not make any assumptions in case I go over the line~”

That response was enough to make the Alicorn giggle with a hoof over her mouth. “You know what?” she said as she stepped back from Sombra, and raised her hoof in agreement to his perspective. “Seeing as how you’re still technically on ‘probation,’ I completely understand wanting to play it safe. Besides...”

Just as she said that last part, her pause was long enough for Sombra to overhear the sink running from behind the bathroom door. Meanwhile, Cadance's smirk turned more lustrous as she finished her statement with, “... I have a feeling somepony else would like to clarify things for you first~”

Sombra had a good idea what the Alicorn meant by that, and grinned a little wider as he nodded with a chuckle. While the two stared at each other with coyer smiles, and undoubtedly randy thoughts playing out in their heads, the bathroom door finally opened. Shining Armor, who was freshly showered to leave his white fur shimmering, froze upon seeing Cadance and Sombra together in the bedroom. And as soon as the two glanced back at him with devilish-looking grins, the Prince Consort couldn’t help gulping while his face grew a heavy blush.

“Well, there you are~” purred Cadance as she lit up her horn, and pulled Shining towards the two with her magic. Despite how much the Prince’s hooves skidded across the crystal floor, he was practically frozen-solid as he stood with a tightly pursed muzzle. Sombra may have been able to see clear as day that the stallion looked nervous, but he could also see the slightest glimmer of interest from the way Shining’s lips struggled to curve upward at the corners. But alas, the Prince Consort was too sheepish to speak up towards Sombra, which prompted his wife to take the reins while holding him close beside her. “You know, Sombra and I were just talking about you~”

Even though Cadance said that in an innocently chipper tone, her husband squirmed a little while his eyes darted between her and Sombra. His smile grew a little more evident as he chuckled nervously, and needed to take a breath before he said, “W-Well, ummm… that’s… that’s good to know…”

After that tremendously timid remark, Shining’s eyes widened as he looked up to see Sombra’s wide and domineering smile pointed at him. Cadance kept her foreleg wrapped around the Prince’s back, and tried to stay supportive for Shining’s sake. “It’s alright, honey. He responded to your note, and now he’s here to play. Isn’t that what you wanted?~”

Shining sucked in a deep breath through his nostrils, and closed his eyes as he sighed and nodded his head weakly. “W-Well, ummm… y-yeah, I did…” After taking another much-needed breath, the stallion re-opened his eyes and gazed up towards Sombra. “Uhhh… I’m sorry if I’m acting kinda skittish, I just… I-I just didn’t expect you to, ummm… t-to agree.”

Shining tried to smile a bit more naturally up towards the Ex-King, hopeful that his apology was good enough. However, Sombra only tilted his head as he narrowed his eyes back on the Prince. “Weeeelllllll… I was just talking with your wife about what specifically I may be agreeing to...”

Since his fake horn was merely a piece of well-crafted carbon fiber, Sombra had to hold up Shining’s note with a hoof for the white stallion to see. “For you see,” he continued as his tone of voice grew more confident, and his smile showed more wickedness behind those fangs. “You left that note pretty vague as for the reason you wanted me to come here tonight~”

Shining’s muzzle quivered a little, and his blush grew even hotter while shivering in unease. “O-Oh. Ummm… W-Well, I--”

“Let me finish,” interrupted the former King as he raised his hoof up to silence Shining’s rebuttal. Even though Sombra kept his tone and expression casual, even Cadance could sense the slight hint of warning behind his piercing red eyes. As soon as the Prince shut his mouth tightly, Sombra brought his hoof out to grace along the side of Shining’s blue mane. The white pony shuddered a bit, but Sombra was undeterred while he spoke articulately. “Now, I have a fairly good idea what it is you and Cadance want from me. And to be perfectly honest, I’m quite flattered the two of you saw me as a suitable stallion for the job. But before I know for sure what I’m getting into, I want to ask you some questions. Would that be alright?~”

Shining pursed his lips even tighter, and his eyes darted back towards his smirking wife. As soon as his eyes locked with hers, the Princess nodded silently to allow him to continue. Shining closed his eyes to take another shaky breath, which was hard to do while Sombra continued to pet his mane. Fortunately, the unicorn was able to exhale hoarsely before looking back up at Sombra. “I, ummm… Sure. I’ll… I’ll answer your questions…”

“Good~” Sombra’s hoof reached back a little further, and he began to pet the back of Shining’s neck. While the Ex-King stood less than a foot in front of him, and his wife continued to hold him supportively from the side, it wasn’t too surprising that Shining was struggling not to tremble before them. Nevertheless, the Prince Consort kept his eyes pointed at Sombra’s piercing gaze as he heard him ask, “So, Prince Shining Armor… were you the one who placed those books in with my literature, or was that her idea?~”

Shining’s legs buckled a little, but he couldn’t pull away while both of those smirking ponies were keeping him locked into place. Even though he felt uncomfortable, the stallion’s racing heart was keeping him from stepping back from his wife or from Sombra. He was also unable to keep his muzzle shut for too much longer, and he sighed briefly before lowering his head. “I, ummm… I placed those books there…”

Sombra smiled devilishly in response to that answer, not needing to verify that Shining was telling the truth. While the stallion had his head lowered bashfully, Sombra turned his attention towards the wife. “So, Cadance… has he ever done this before?~”

Despite her confident smirk, Cadance shook her head with a strange look of pride in her expression. “Nope~ Shining never asked for this from anypony else, so you should be quite honored~”

“Indeed I am~” he said with a lustrous growl, and a narrowing of his eyes that caused Cadance to shiver in delight. Meanwhile, the Prince saw enough of that exchange to shudder a little himself. It was unclear whether the stallion’s meek response was out of unease or guilty enjoyment, but his wife’s grin towards him made it seem like it was probably the latter. Meanwhile, Sombra only paused for a second before asking, “So, Shining? Am I to believe you wanted this for a while?~”

Even though Sombra and Cadance both knew that answer just as well as the stallion, Shining still took a second to wince in confliction. Fortunately for the two waiting ponies, Shining was able to overcome his anxiousness quickly enough to huff sharply and nod his head. “Y… Y-Yeah, I… I thought about it for a long time...”

“Well, that’s a good thing to know~” Sombra stated while his grin grew more Cheshire-like, and his stare on Shining intensified greatly. As the Prince stood in growing worry, a cold chill crept up his spine when he saw Sombra’s menacingly cocky smile. There may have been no Dark Magic within the Ex-King, but a strong glimmer of his sinister nature seemed to have remained by the way he narrowed his eyes on the Prince. Shining hooves continued to fidget underneath his weight (as well as the Princess’ as she continued coddling him), but he remained in place as he felt Sombra tighten his grip around his neck, and heard him say in a dominant growl, “Since you thought about it for so long, I don’t think it should be any issue for you to tell me what you want~”

Shining’s eyes widened in a panic, while his wife’s smile did the same out of pleased surprise. “Ooooh~” Cadance giggled a little as she glanced back at her husband, whose pupils were slightly shrunken due to how flustered that command made him feel. While Sombra stood with a waiting grin and his hoof holding Shining in place, he watched as Cadance leaned in to whisper into her husband’s ear. “Don’t worry, honey. You already came this far. Just take a deep breath, and say it out loud~”

Shining tried to exhale while his eyes were closed, and silently nodded to his wife’s assurance. Meanwhile, Sombra tilted his head while studying the unicorn’s meek and overwhelmed expression. He could tell that Shining was more than a little unhinged about showing that kind of diligence, but Sombra wasn’t one to keep things dragging on. “You know, Shining,” he said in a much colder and sterner tone of voice, “considering how I’ve been frozen for over a millenium, I don’t have very much patience now that I’m awake.”

“I-I know, I know,” Shining muttered with a small nod of his head. He wanted to show his insistence, but he needed to keep his muzzle pointed away from Sombra’s face as he said, “I just, uhhhhh… It’s kinda…”

The Prince wanted to clarify that he was nervous, but his unfinished words weren’t needed for Sombra and Cadance to already know that fact. Sombra huffed with a flatter expression, and silently glanced over towards the Alicorn. When she looked back at him, the former Tyrant motioned back to her husband, and gave an expression implying he wanted to ask her permission for something. Even though Sombra didn’t open his muzzle, Cadance understood enough to smile somewhat skewedly, and think it over for a second before nodding in approval.

Sombra smiled upon seeing that granting nod, but it quickly turned to a much more leering grin back at the Prince. Before Shining could speak up, his eyes shot wide-open as he yelped in immense pain. “GAAAHHH!!”

Shining’s hind-legs buckled hard, but his still-smiling wife was able to hold him upright before Sombra. Meanwhile, the Ex-Tyrant had a vice-like grip on the back of Shining’s mane, and was pulling hard enough to make the former Royal Guard scream with a wince. Even when he finished his pained yelp, Shining’s teeth were gritted shut as he looked back up at Sombra with strained eyes.

“I’m not going to wait around all night for you to grow a pair, little ‘Prince,’” Sombra spat with a displeased bile in his tone of voice. After inflecting that last word like he was comparing Shining’s title to a slur, Sombra narrowed his eyes on him in disappointment. Cadance seemed a little uncomfortable with the way the former King was treating her husband, but she was able to hide that while holding Shining with a bit lip and a heavy blush. As for Shining, he could only squirm within their grasps while hearing Sombra continue to speak. “Now... I’m going to count to three. And by the time I reach three, you better speak up about what you want me to do tonight. Because if you don’t, I will leave right now, and never return to this room again~”

Even if Sombra wasn’t pulling his hair, Shining could tell from the Ex-Tyrant’s venomous tone that he wasn’t fooling around. The Prince wanted nothing more than to speak up, but the burning pain from the back of his scalp was only making him able to breathe in hard pants. His eyes looked towards Cadance for some emotional support, but all she could give the stallion was a judgemental look, and an insistent raise of her brows. “I’d probably listen to him, honey~” she said in a somewhat calming, but mostly foreboding whisper.

“ONE.”

Shining gasped lightly in surprise as he gawked back at Sombra, not expecting him to start that countdown immediately. But as soon as he saw that brooding, unrelenting glare the former King carried in his eyes, the Prince could instantly tell how serious Sombra was acting about his threat. Cadance could see that as well, but her response was more of a surprised smirk while she kept her husband in place.

Shining wasn’t sure how long he stood in that stunned stupor, but his muzzle was barely able to open before Sombra kept counting. “TWO.”

Another gasp escaped Shining’s muzzle, but it was fortunately what he needed to actually open it that time. With his eyes wide-open in worry, and his bottom lip quivering as much as his hooves, the stallion wasn’t sure if he could actually speak over the pounding of his heart. But despite how heavy that mental wall of unease felt in his head, the unicorn tried his hardest to take a breath and attempt to speak. “Uhh! I, uhh… I w-... I want… ummm…”

Cadance began to look worried when she heard how much Shining was stammering to get a suitable reply said. Of course, the fact that Sombra still had a death-grip on his hair probably didn’t help too much. But alas, as the Prince’s face grew redder out of apprehension and the tension of the moment, he had to clench his eyes to better speak before Sombra could get to that final number. “I! I want, uhhh… I want you to… t-to…”

Just as Shining’s face clenched inward especially hard, Sombra’s eyes narrowed even harder with an impatient sigh. “THRE--”

“IWANTYOUTOFUCKMYWIFE!!”

After that hastily-said, and literal last-second blurb, nopony said anything for several seconds. Shining Armor, the Prince who carried such a high level of respect outside those bedroom doors, could only wince in guilt after making such an impulsively-said admission. Even though he felt a massive weight being lifted from his chest, his eyes remained tightly shut as he felt unable to face either of the ponies’ reactions at that moment. As for Sombra, his pause was accompanied with a raised brow while staring at the Prince in silence.

Meanwhile, Princess Cadance smiled warmly as she bent in to nuzzle underneath Shining’s neck. “Daaaawwwww… See, honey? That wasn’t so bad, was it?~”

Another moment passed before Shining could gather himself up enough to make a response. After sighing heavily, the stallion’s face remained as red as a tomato as he meekly nodded his head. “I… I-I guess not…”

Since his hair was still clenched within Sombra’s hoof, it didn’t take long for the Prince to sheepishly glance back up at the Ex-King’s wide and fanged grin. Sombra looked like he wanted to laugh in delight after hearing what Shining said, but his smile proved to be more than enough to make the white pony squirm. He let go of Shining’s mane, which seemed to be a good sign that he was approving of the Prince’s words. However, that didn’t mean the former Tyrant couldn’t have a little fun before complying with that request.

“What was that, my Prince?~” he asked in a teasing tone as he tilted his head, and eyed the blushed Shining with a wickedly wide smile. “You said that rather quickly for me to properly hear it~”

Sombra almost expected Shining to glare at him for that clarification, or for Cadance to warn him about overstepping his bounds. Luckily for the larger stallion, Cadance couldn’t help giggling a little as she looked between Sombra’s cheeky grin, and her husband’s bitten lip. Since the Princess seemed okay with Sombra’s playing, there was nothing for Shining to do but close his eyes and sigh deeply.

“I… I, ummm…” Despite how uncomfortable he may have appeared, Shining’s hind-legs were writhing antsily as he took a breath, and looked back up at Sombra with his face burning hotly. “I… I want you to… to f-fuck my wife, please…”

Sombra smiled pridefully after hearing that request, and glanced over towards the Princess for her opinion. Cadance, who was clearly pleased herself, continued to giggle while holding her hopeful cuckold with her foreleg. Shining’s ears lowered from their shared enjoyment, but his eyes carried an evident glimmer of optimism while his head was lowered submissively.

“I must say!~” chirped Sombra with an impressed glance towards the wife. “I wouldn’t have expected your husband to act so polite about being a cuckold~”

The Prince’s head lowered even more, hopeful that could keep the two from seeing the faint smile he struggled to keep hidden. Meanwhile, his loving wife shrugged as she replied towards the Ex-Tyrant, “Well, what did you expect? He did have to ask my permission, after all~”

“Well, I kinda figured that after I received the third cuckolding book from you two~” The more that Sombra cackled in delight, the wider his smile became to expose his glistening fangs. He then glanced back at Shining, and grew an even cockier smirk as he said, “So, ‘Prince’ Shining Armor… Are you saying you won’t object to anything I might do to your loving wife tonight?~”

Shining shivered a little while breathing out through his nostrils, but he was able to look up at him timidly and shake his head. “N… N-No. As… As long as you don’t hurt her, I…”

The Prince paused his answer as he looked back towards Cadance, who was smiling back at him proudly. She nodded her head in acceptance, which seemed to be enough to make Shining smile back gratefully. He then let out a quick huff before looking back up at Sombra to finish his statement. “As… As long as she’s alright, then… Th-Then you can do whatever you want with her~”

With the way the stallion nervously smiled after that last remark, Sombra didn’t need to glance between the Prince’s legs to tell how badly he wanted to witness such a deflowering. However, it seemed that the former King wasn’t completely satisfied just yet. Despite how much Shining wanted this (not to mention, how much Sombra wanted this himself~), a couple seconds of silence passed before he turned back to Cadance. “Would it be alright if I made some requests, your Highness?~”

Even though she specifically told Sombra he didn’t have to call her by her title, Cadance smiled back at him with a carefree shrug. “For you? Absolutely~”

Shining could hear the lustful inflection in his wife’s voice towards their former enemy, and it was elating enough to make him shudder with his muzzle tightly shut. Nevertheless, his reaction was unnoticed by the other ponies while Sombra kept his eyes locked onto the Princess. “Good~ Because I have a rather… mean idea for your cuck of a husband~”

Shining’s ears lowered even more, and he quivered from Sombra saying that like he wasn’t right in front of him. Meanwhile, Cadance finally let go of her husband so she could lean in with a piqued smirk. “Oh really?~”

After shooting a brief, sinister-looking grin back at her blushing spouse, Cadance turned towards Sombra with a lustrous look before leaning her head in. “Well then… I’d like to hear it, big guy~”

Shining couldn’t stop squirming as he stood in place, and tried not to groan too audibly from seeing how his wife was acting towards him. As the Prince stared at the two with a nervous and longing expression, Cadance allowed the burly stallion to lean his muzzle in close to her ear. Shining wasn’t able to hear what Sombra was telling to his spouse, but he could see just how much Cadance's eyes widened to the things he said. After a few seconds of whispering, her grin grew immensely wide as her cheeks blushed. “Oooooohhhh…~”

When Sombra finally pulled his head back, Cadance's smile looked just as devilish as his own while locking eyes with him. Shining gulped timidly once more, but kept his mouth shut so he wouldn’t interrupt the two. Fortunately, the stallion saw that he wasn’t completely forgotten yet as the Alicorn looked back towards her husband, and said with a mischievous tone of voice, “Oh, honey… You’re going to have a very… very rough night~”

Shining trembled in a mix of reluctance and unbridled arousal, and wasn’t able to hide the weak grin he was carrying on his blushed face. However, the instant he saw Sombra’s equally randy stare on him, the Prince’s mouth pursed shut to show how intimidated he truly felt. Fortunately for Shining, that expression was just what the Ex-Tyrant needed to see. Sombra closed his eyes as he took a deep breath, and sighed with a content smile at feeling such a welcome bout of nostalgia.

“Ohhhhhhh… Oh, Shining~” As soon as he reopened his eyes, Sombra’s grin grew scarily wide as he pulled Cadance in to his side with a foreleg. The Princess yelped a little in surprise, but quickly giggled like a school-filly from the rough treatment. Shining Armor didn’t say a thing, but the corners of his lips crept upward while seeing his wife with such a confident… studly stallion. While the Prince breathed out sharply to help contain himself, Sombra narrowed his eyes like a true predator and said, “You better hope you’re ready, you so-called ‘Prince’... because I intend to make you suffer~”

Despite how menacingly the former King said such a foreboding statement, or how enticed Cadance looked while nestled up beside him, it seemingly wasn’t enough to extinguish the shameful smile that was plastered on Shining Armor’s face.
