Shining Armor was practically glued to the bed as he sat by himself in silence, and thought over everything that had transpired between himself and Sombra. The curtains were closed, which gave the lavish bedroom a much darker hue that matched the Private’s overwhelmed and fretful state. When he first woke up in the bed, Sombra showed enough sympathy and compassion to actually apologize to Shining for getting hurt, even though the chastity cage breaking was purely accidental. But like some cruel twist of fate that he felt compelled to turn on his own behalf, Shining Armor somehow managed to change Sombra’s sullen demeanor completely by the time he left the Private alone to reflect.

Shining wasn’t even sure how he could’ve caused such a dramatic transition in Sombra’s goals, but he knew deep-down that he did exactly that. The Private insisted on continuing to follow orders, even when he had the opportunity to have an actual day off from his torment. He even clarified that he would be able to recount his dream to Sombra, despite knowing how horrible of a decision it would be to tell those things to a literal sadist. And due to Sombra’s insistence for Shining to leave himself uncovered, the Private wasn’t able to hide just how much that dream got to him in a physical manner. After that, the poor stallion didn’t need to see his Superior’s maliciously wide grin to know he basically signed his own death warrant.

Admit it, Private. You told me about your dream because you loved it~ You absolutely loved the idea of submitting to me in such a thorough way, and you wanted me to know the details so I can give it to you. Isn’t that right, you little cuck?~

Shining winced as he recounted Sombra’s statements, which carried the same cruelty and sincerity that he would’ve expected from a former villain. Even if the Ex-King wasn’t too keen on reclaiming his throne or returning to politics, Shining was downright terrified of what his Superior might try following their private “chat.” Sombra already claimed his former wife -- both physically and legally -- and even stole his bank account so he could flaunt his power over Shining without anypony else in the know; but now, the Private could only imagine how much worse his situation could become beneath the hooves of that sick and twisted bull.

And worst of all, Shining’s cock was still standing erect between his squirming legs.

“Ughhh… What the fuck is wrong with me?” he muttered under his breath while his face was clasped in his hooves. Despite how badly he wanted to remain optimistic, there was no way for him to deny what he did. He inspired Sombra to go even harder now, even though he had already been pushing Shining’s limits badly enough beforehand. And with the way Sombra was speaking down to him while teasing his unusable cock, the Private knew that he meant every word that came out of his fanged muzzle.

Cadance doesn’t need to know what I’ll do to you, but I’ll make sure you know~ Because I can promise you right now, I’ll make sure to make your little dream come true. I might not be able to recreate the details exactly as you dreamt them, but you won’t have to worry too badly, Shining~ You already gave me a lot of good ideas to hurt you with. And I can guarantee that come this Friday, I’ll leave you feeling just as you did on that stage in the dream…

With the sincerity in Sombra’s voice still ringing through his head, Shining could tell that his Superior wasn’t playing around anymore. Back when they first started their fun, the three ponies were going about things at a harsh, but still ‘safe’ means to ensure nopony got hurt; and even as Shining’s degradation got more intense, things didn’t really start to go too far until Cadance’s pregnancy was confirmed. But now, with all those previous boundaries ignored and his own reputation offered up to Sombra on a silver platter, Shining knew that he wasn’t safe anymore. Sombra not only had the means to legitimately ruin his life, but now he had the confidence and approval from Shining to see just how much he could take away from him.

You dreamt about me ruining your life, Shining Armor. And in just a couple days, I’m going to show you just how I intend to do that for real~

That last comment caused Shining to shiver in unrelenting dread, even as he felt his cock twitching harder in response to that cruel reminder. His eyes clenched shut as he breathed out hoarsely, his mind too clouded with conflicting thoughts to properly focus on how to handle such a promise from his Superior. While he knew he still had enough time to warn Cadance, and possibly even end things before they progress even further, the idea of actually stopping Sombra’s wrath felt near-impossible in the stallion’s mind. Even if Cadance tried to intervene, Shining remembered that private chat he and Sombra had in the bathroom the other morning. He knew exactly what he was getting into, but he was still willing to comply due to some sick desire that was plaguing the back of his mind.

Shining eventually got off the bed after feeling good enough to walk, and trotted over towards the large mirror that hung between the bed and his personal couch. He winced as he glanced at that shoddy bedding, unsure of how to feel about knowing his nights sleeping in that would soon be over. However, as the Private turned his attention to his reflection in the mirror, he sighed with a more morose look while staring at himself. On the outside, Shining looked exactly as he would appear outside the bedroom: A dedicated Prince to the Crystal Empire, a loving husband to Princess Cadance, and a strong soldier who carried himself with the utmost pride and respect from others.

But on the inside, Shining couldn’t say that any of those details felt too accurate to claim about himself now.

“Come on, Shining,” he hissed at himself as he struggled not to cringe at the sight of his own face. “You… You can’t be okay with all of this…” Considering how privileged he was to be living a life this affluent, the idea of someone like Sombra actually sabotaging that sent a strong shiver up his spine. Not to mention, the additional fact that Shining was able to accept such an idea willingly caused his expression to skew painfully before his mirror. The stallion may have been a lot of things, but he didn’t want to think of himself as actually being a masochist. But even with his Private Armor laying out of sight at the corner of the bedroom, Shining could see just how high he was standing atop a house of cards, even with a safety ledge easily within reach.

A safety ledge that Shining knew deep-down, he truly didn’t want to step onto.

Shining wasn’t sure how long he stared at his reflection in the mirror, but it was long enough for him to let the weight of Sombra’s words truly press down on his conscience. But despite how horribly he was being treated, and how worse things were likely to go, any looks of despair or regret didn’t really show in his expression. Instead, Shining just blinked as he gazed at himself blankly, and thought over what it was he was truly wanting from the life he had. But among all the various thoughts that coursed through his mind, there was one specific thing that Shining eventually came to accept as being the right answer.

But instead of saying it outloud, Shining sighed as he looked at himself and said, “So… So that’s it, huh?”

If his reflection were to show his inner self, Shining was sure it would’ve nodded in affirmation to his question. But before anything else could come out of his muzzle, Shining’s ears perked up when he heard the bedroom doors unlocking behind him.

“Shining?” asked Cadance as she walked into the bedroom first. Upon seeing her Ex standing by the mirror, she sighed in relief while smiling with a hoof over her chest. “Oh, thank goodness!” She immediately rushed up Shining, and caught him by surprise when she gave him a loving hug. His eyes widened for a second or two, but he was quick to smile gratefully before hugging her back.

“Are you feeling alright?” she asked when she pulled her head back to look at him worriedly. “Sombra and I were so worried that cage could’ve caused some damage.”

Even with how conflicted he had just been a few minutes ago, Shining gave his Ex a caring smile as he said with a nod, “I’m perfectly fine, Cadance. Sombra himself told me it was just a light scratch, and I don’t even feel any pain from it. Honest.”

An even louder sigh escaped Cadance’s muzzle as she clutched her chest again, and gave Shining a thankful smile of her own. “Oh, that’s so good to hear! Seriously, you have no idea how freaked-out I was.”

“Hey, it’s perfectly understandable,” assured Shining with a wave of his hoof. “Even Sombra was worried, so I don’t blame you for feeling the same.”

With the mention of her husband’s name, Cadance’s smile grew more intrigued as she replied with, “Yeah, he actually just told me about that. Did he actually apologize to you?”

Shining’s eyes widened in surprise, not having expected for Sombra to actually admit that detail to Cadance. Of course, considering how far the sadist was willing to go to torment Shining in secret, it would make sense for him to show a more sensitive side to Cadance for the sake of appearing innocent. Not to mention, Sombra’s apology to the Private was undoubtedly sincere, and he didn’t seem like the type to hide such a moment of humility from his wife. Even though he knew there was a lot more that was said between them, Shining nodded to Cadance and said, “Actually yeah, he did. When I woke up, Sombra was waiting there so he could tell me he was sorry. Apparently he was blaming himself for the cage breaking.”

“Yeah, he told me that too!” replied Cadance with a slightly baffled expression on her face. However, the Princess was still smiling as she shrugged and added, “Of course, considering how… eventful yesterday was, I can’t say I blame him for feeling that way. I mean, you were straining badly enough to nearly break my snout last night~”

Shining instantly cringed the moment he was reminded of that embarrassing moment. “Oh, jeeze!” The stallion covered his face with a hoof as he groaned remorsefully, having completely forgotten that he actually struck Cadance’s face with his erection the previous night. Even though that wasn’t even close to his own treatment by Sombra, Shining still felt bad enough to quickly say, “Honey, I’m so sorry! I know it wasn’t on purpose, but I really hope I didn’t hurt you too badly.”

Cadance covered her mouth as she giggled with a cheeky blush. “Oh, don’t worry about that!” she assured him sincerely before putting her hoof back down, and then saying, “Honestly, I find it more funny than anything else! Like, how many mares can say something like that happened to them?~”

Upon realizing her point, it didn’t take long for Shining to start giggling guiltily as well. Even though he still felt bad for that incident, he could see the humor of it all pretty clearly in retrospect. “Okay yeah,” he admitted with a sheepish nod while scratching the back of his mane. “I’ll admit, it is a pretty funny story. Although, I doubt it’s one we’d be able to actually tell anypony aside from Twilight.”

Before Cadance could nod or give an affirmative response, Sombra’s voice caught both of them by surprise as he stood by the open doorway. “Oh, I don’t know about that…”

Cadance glanced back at her husband curiously, while Shining froze in place for a second with a fearful expression. Meanwhile, Sombra trotted into the bedroom like he owned it (which wasn’t completely untrue), and locked the doors behind him so they could converse more freely. “I do agree that the story itself wouldn’t be smart to tell in its entirety,” he said as he looked back at the divorced couple with a devilish smirk, “buuuuutttt, that doesn’t mean the two of you couldn’t collaborate on an alternate version that better would fit your guys’ facade~”

Shining bit his lips together pensively, unsure whether or not Sombra was trying to hint at something for the Private to ponder for himself. Meanwhile, Cadance seem to notice her Ex’s uneasy look as she rolled her eyes with a sigh. “Seriously, Sombra?” she asked while staring at him with a raised brow. “I know it’s been over a millennium since you’ve been in rule, but nowadays it isn’t considered good taste to openly recount sexual stories as Royals.”

Without skipping a beat, Sombra chuckled devilishly before pointing to Shining with his hoof. “Well, by that definition, he can do it~”

Cadance narrowed her eyes on Sombra flatly, while Shining just lowered his ears and looked away from the two with a timid look on his face. “Oh, har har har,” replied Cadance with a sarcastic tone, before she asked, “Didn’t I warn you about teasing Shining today?”

“What?” Sombra scoffed while pointing a hoof at the Private. “He’s perfectly fine! Besides, it’s not like I’m wrong~”

Even though he knew that Sombra was technically right, Shining bit his tongue and hung his head guiltily away from them. Cadance just sighed in exasperation while glaring at her husband. “Sombra…”

“Oh, alright, alright!” Sombra feigned relenting with a roll of his eyes. “I’ll stop, okay? Besides, it’s not like I want Shining to actually tell ponies about that.”

Shining lifted up his head, but stayed silent as he glanced at Sombra with a raised brow. His Superior shot him a nastily wide grin, and then said with a teasing purr, “If he were to tell ponies that he smacked the Princess’ face with his cock, they might accuse my wife of being an adulterer~”

Shining’s cheeks puffed out as he struggled not to huff from such a lame joke. Unfortunately, that remark was enough to make Cadance cover her mouth to keep from snickering. Her eyes were clenched shut for a couple seconds while controlling her breath, before she exhaled sharply and said, “Okay, that joke I’ll give a pass~”

Shining scoffed to himself silently, not liking the fact that even she was accepting his behavior. Cadance’s teasing giggles may have lasted for a few seconds at most, but it was long enough for Sombra to shoot a knowingly wide grin at his Private. Fortunately for Shining, his tormentor’s smile diminished the moment Cadance managed to shop her snickering, and tried to resume their arranged plans. “But for right now, I’d prefer that we focus on something more… beneficial for our dedicated Private~”

With that cheekily-said remark, Cadance glanced back at her Ex with a more lustrous smirk, and asked him, “So, Shining? You excited to get some Royal treatment again?~”

With how alluringly the Princess asked that question, Shining’s tail instinctively started wagging in excitement as he blushed profusely. Even with everything that had changed over the past year, Cadance still looked at Shining with the same allure of passion that she carried when the two were still married. She may have been carrying another stallion’s foal, and even divorced Shining just the previous day through official notary, but her love for the cuckold still looked to be as strong as ever. Despite how intensely Sombra was staring at him while behind his smiling wife, Shining couldn’t help nodding his head sheepishly as he said, “Absolutely! I mean… Who wouldn’t want to have some fun with a Princess?~”

Cadance giggled with a hoof over her muzzle, and gave an appreciative smile to Shining for such a cute response. Unfortunately, the moment Shining made a quick glance back towards his Superior, his nervous smile dampened immensely when he saw Sombra’s head beginning to tilt with an intrigued-looking smirk on his muzzle. But before he could try to discern what may have been running through the sick Tyrant’s head, Shining’s attention was brought back to Cadance just as she bent in to give him a kiss. He could practically feel Sombra’s piercing gaze as he stared at the two silently, but Shining tried to look past that when he bent in himself, and shared a tender peck on the lips with the Princess.

The kiss was fairly innocent to what the couple used to share, as that peck lasted about as briefly as a colt who reluctantly has to kiss one of his elderly relatives upon greeting them. But even when Shining pulled back with a shaky smile and heavy blush, his tail tried to slump between his legs when he caught sight of Sombra’s eyes narrowing on him intensely. Meanwhile, Cadance giggled excitedly as she trotted over towards the bathroom and said, “Just lemme get myself ready, and the three of us will have some more equal fun for a change~”

Shining’s heart shot up to his chest when he saw her starting to leave, and a strong bout of fear shot through his system. Given how unsubtly Sombra was smiling at the Private with such a menacing stare, he didn’t want to think what he might do when they were alone. But alas, before Shining could try to stop his Ex, the Princess disappeared into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. The very instant both stallions heard the metallic click of the knob locking shut, Sombra took several steps forward so he was less than a foot from Shining’s paling face.

The Private jolted in surprise when Sombra came up to him unexpectedly, and his body froze in dread before he could even try reeling back from him. Because of that, his Superior was easily able to lean his head in while grinning from ear-to-ear, and get right up in Shining’s face with an intimidating stare. And even with Cadance just in the other room, Shining felt utterly hopeless when Sombra asked maliciously, “So, Private… How upset would you be if I ordered you to deny her request when she comes out?~”

Shining had a feeling that the Prince would try something that sick, but his eyes still widened in shock while his breaths grew fainter. “W… W-What?”

“Answer the question~” Sombra’s fanged grin grew even wider as his voice became more stern, and his stare was practically burning through Shining’s skull like a death beam. “How. Upset. Would. You. Beeeeee?~”

Shining’s legs started to shiver while standing so pathetically beneath his Superior, and he felt just as fretful as he did in his first days as a recruit in the Royal Guard. He knew that if he were to answer honestly, Sombra would find a means to end Cadance’s plans before they even had a chance to begin. However, if Shining were to try and lie by saying he wouldn’t be upset, Sombra might do something even worse out of spite to ruin him further. A faint and whimpering exhale came out of his muzzle, and he shivered fearfully before Sombra’s waiting gaze. And despite how intimidating the dominant stallion looked so close to his face, Shining was able to clench his eyes shut before giving the meekest of answers to his Superior.

“... It… I-It would upset me very much, my Prince…”

Sombra’s gleaming grin lessened to that of a confidently smug smirk, almost like that answer was leaving the Prince more content with his own plans. Shining struggled not to wince worriedly in response, and could only hang his head in shame as he realized what Sombra was going to say next. And true enough, Sombra made sure that bathroom door was closed before looking back down at his cuck, and giving his proclamation in a sinister tone. “Well then… Private, I’m ordering you to do just that~ As soon as she comes out of the bathroom, you are to insist that only I extract your semen sample, and that she won’t even be present in the room during. Do you understand?~”

Even with all the previous orders he was forced to abide by, Shining couldn’t help but think that one was one of Sombra’s cruelest yet. Considering how this would inevitably be his last orgasm he’ll ever experience, the idea that it would come solely from the stallion planning to geld him was beyond horrifying. Not to mention, the last thing Shining wanted to do was deny the touch of his former wife one final time, especially when it was clear that she was as intent on sharing this moment as he did. Shining wished more than anything that he could refuse that order, or even ask Sombra if he thought that was fair to his wife; unfortunately, all that the poor cuckold could do was hang his head with an especially morose sigh, and nodded silently in response.

“Very good~” purred Sombra while grinning venomously.

Soon after the two stallions had that mortifying exchange, the bathroom door reopened to reveal Princess Cadance in a profoundly different light. Unbenounced to either of them, Cadance decided to make this moment special by donning her dark red lingerie that she had stashed in private. The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, Shining and Sombra’s eyes both widened upon seeing her alluring and curvaceous form accentuated so well in her attire. Fortunately for Sombra’s foal, the corset of Cadance’s garment only covered the top half of her torso, and left a very large baby-bump that protruded out beneath the lingerie’s hem. While Shining clenched his eyes shut and cringed from what he was going to be forced to do, Sombra stared at his wife with a hungry grin and said, “My my my, Princess~”

Cadance shot her husband a sultry chuckle as she trotted back into the bedroom, making sure to sway her hips with every step to emphasize her voluptuous figure. Her longing daze was pinned on Shining as she walked up to him, not seeming to notice the shameful wince he was struggling to conceal behind his blush. The Private squirmed badly upon seeing Cadance’s lustful stare, and he knew that there wasn’t any easy way to abide by Sombra’s order without hurting his Ex. And despite knowing that he easily could’ve ignored Sombra’s order, Shining’s will was too twisted to contemplate such an option as the Princess got up close to his face.

“Mmmmmmm~” Cadance pressed her chest up against her Ex’s, and caused Shining to shudder as she graced her muzzle along the side of his neck. Sombra watched with a waiting smirk as Shining trembled with his eyes tightly shut, clearly looking hesitant about leaving Cadance out of his last natural orgasm. Meanwhile, the Princess herself wrapped one of her hooves around Shining’s neck to pull him in for a sensual hug, and leaned into his ear to ask, “So, Private Armor… How do you want this to go?~”

Even when being referred to by his demoted rank, Shining quivered with a bitten lip as he felt her soothing voice making his nerves tingle on end. Since his cage wasn’t on, Sombra could see how enticed his wife was getting to the Private while that inferior stallionhood stood so rigidly beneath his barrel. A shaky breath escaped Shining’s muzzle as he struggled not to get too overwhelmed, even though Cadance’s question had him thinking of a plethora of fantasies he was so eager to try before the end could come. Before Sombra could literally neuter him in front of everypony, or do anything to further ruin the life he once possessed.

But sadly, the only thing Shining could do was sigh painfully while wrapped in Cadance’s embrace, before he tried to speak up meekly. “Ummm… A-Actually, ummm…”

Cadance caught the uneasy tone in Shining’s voice, and pulled back to look at him confusedly. “Honey?” she asked with a slightly cautious tone. “Is something wrong?”

“N-No, it’s not. I just, umm…” Shining absolutely hated the idea of giving in, especially if it meant upsetting Cadance about something she was so eager to do before his impending gelding. But with Sombra’s piercing stare still burning against the back of his head, Shining took a shameful breath before he reopened his eyes, and looked at Cadance to say, “I… I-I was wanting to… to request that Sombra does the procedure for me. And… A-And I wanted him to do it by himself…”

Upon saying those words, Shining closed his eyes in remorse before he could get a chance to see her reaction. Cadance’s brows rose up in genuine surprise, while Sombra mimicked that response to appear as an innocent bystander. Before the Princess could ask anything, Sombra spoke up to ask Shining, “Wait a second, are you serious right now?”

Shining was surprised to hear Sombra ask that question with such a legitimately stunned tone, almost as if his Superior was trying to win an award for his acting abilities. When he glanced back at the Prince, Shining could see the briefest gleam of maliciousness in Sombra’s eyes as he asked him, “I know you want to be dedicated to your role, but… but you don’t actually mean that, do you?~”

Sombra’s tone may have sounded legitimately concerned to Cadance, but Shining could tell from his wording that he was expecting only one response. So without even looking up at Sombra’s evil stare for emphasis, the Private closed his eyes so he couldn’t even look at his Ex. “I… I’m sure,” he said with a firm nod of his head, and another breath so he could speak more assuredly. “I… I would like for only my Superior to extract my sample. I… I would like to request that from you, Princess…”

Shining tried not to appear too guilty about what he said, even though he resented each word that came out of his mouth. Unfortunately, his head still hung lower as several seconds of awkward silence passed between them. Sombra was standing behind his Private like a ventriloquist holding his puppet, and carried a similar look of neutrality in his expression so that Cadance wouldn’t grow too suspicious. Shining stood in wait for a long, painfully silent moment while trying to hide his shame, as well as his guiltily strong erection that was smacking against his barrel. But after that request was made, Cadance only needed a moment before giving her response:

“Denied.”

Both stallions stared at Cadance in wide-eyed shock, not expecting to hear her make such a firm statement in opposition. When Shining looked back up at her, his brows raised up worriedly upon seeing her unrelenting glare. Fortunately, Shining wasn’t the only pony to receive that look, as she also shot a nasty sneer at Sombra. Despite the fact that he had technically defeated her before, Sombra still jolted back with a fearful look upon seeing his spouse’s peeved expression. “W-What?!” he asked as he raised his hooves innocently. “What’s that look for?!”

“Sombra, do you really think I wouldn’t speak up about this?!”

Before either of the stallions could break free of their stunned reactions to try and explain themselves, Cadance lit up her horn so that both of their bodies were lifted up in the air. She quickly dropped the two in front of her so they were standing side-by-side, much like an upset mother collecting her unruly sons for a scolding. And with the Prince and his Private standing with equally worried looks on their faces, Cadance pointed a hoof at both of them while glaring intensely. “Alright, I didn’t want to do this when the two of you are doing everything ‘consensually’, but I can not stand for you guys getting in the way of this, okay!? This isn’t just some little cuckolding game between the two of YOU! I deserve to have as much say in what we do in this relationship as either of you, and I’m going to be DAMNED if you think I can be brushed away so easily!”

“C-Cadance wait!” blurted Sombra as he tried to interject during his wife’s furious tirade. “I swear, I was just trying to--”

“DO NOT INTERRUPT ME,” bellowed Cadance with an unbelievably firm tone that was just barely below yelling, but still effective enough to clamp Sombra’s muzzle shut. Shining squirmed with his ears tightly clasped against his head, looking even more fretful than his Superior did. Of course, Sombra didn’t appear much better as he hung his head in response to Cadance’s pissed-off glare. “Now you listen to me!” she shouted while prodding her hoof against Sombra’s chest, “What you want to do with Shining is entirely your business, and I won’t interject if your treatment of him is something that he wants! BUT! You absolutely can NOT interfere with my own plans! I wanted his sperm sample for a future foal! I wanted to be the one to do it so I can be sure it’s safe! And I made that point explicitly clear when you first suggested your plans for Shining. DID. I. NOT?”

Sombra could only stand frozen with a remorseful look on his face, and he winced painfully upon seeing how upset she looked. Shining didn’t even try to gaze up at his Superior’s shameful expression, mostly because he felt equally as guilty while looking away from the two. Sombra blinked a couple times as his face softened in humility, and he let out a weak sigh before closing his eyes. “I… I’m sorry,” he said in a faint, but sincere voice that Shining recognized from earlier that morning.

“Sorry for what?”

Sombra looked back at her after hearing that stern retort, which was accompanied with Cadance still looking rightfully pissed-off. After only a second or two to process that question, Sombra knew that he answer truthfully. So instead of adding any bullshit, the Prince took both the ponies by surprise when he stepped back from Cadance, and bent down to give her a gracious bow. “Princess Cadance, I’m sorry that I tried to order Shining to refuse your offer. And I also apologize for not respecting your wishes. That’s not what a husband should do, and I promise your say will always reside over my own.”

Cadance blinked a couple times while staring down at her bowing husband wide-eyed, clearly not expecting an apology that genuine. Even Shining looked floored by Sombra’s sincerity, despite knowing that his Superior had that ability from the apology he received from him earlier. When Sombra lifted himself back up, he kept his sights down to the floor between himself and Cadance. Meanwhile, the Princess put a hoof up to her chest as she tried to maintain a stern look; however, Shining could see that his Ex seemed rather touched by Sombra’s apologetic gesture.

“... Well…” Cadance needed a moment before giving a fair response to her husband’s statements, but slowly nodded in acceptance by the time Sombra looked up at her. “... I’m not going to say I’m happy about you trying a stunt like that,” she replied firmly enough to keep Sombra in check, but then added with a brief sigh, “but… I’m willing to forgive you if you allow me to do this as I intended.”

Due to the emphasis in her voice during that last statement, Sombra was quick to assure her, “Of course, of course! I promise, we’ll do this as you wish to do it. Right, Shining?”

Sombra looked back at his Private expectantly, although it was clear that he and Shining were on equal terms in comparison to the Princess. Fortunately, Shining quickly nodded in agreement before saying, “Yeah, absolutely! I just… I just didn’t want to rock the boat…”

With that statement, Shining give a bow of his own before the Princess before saying, “Mi Amore Cadenza, I apologize as well. I may have been following orders, but I should have known better than to abide against a Princess’ wishes. And I humbly beg for your forgiveness.”

Cadance took a little longer to respond to Shining’s apology, and she looked down at him with an odd skew of her muzzle. Luckily for the Private, Cadance eventually closed her eyes before sighing under her breath, and said in response, “Well… Even though I don’t necessarily approve of the whole, ‘I was only following orders’ excuse when doing something wrong, I… I suppose I can’t blame you for feeling that way in the case of him.”

She motioned her head towards Sombra with that emphasized word, even though it wasn’t necessary to do so. When Shining looked up at her in his bowed stance, the Princess added insistently, “And I don’t think I need to repeat myself when I say you don’t have to follow an order if you don’t wish to. I don’t want you to do anything you can’t handle.”

Shining gave an understanding nod, but it was obvious from his fretful blush that Sombra’s nullification of that policy made her assurances near-pointless. But alas, the Private still tried to remain insistent when he lifted himself back up, and said to his Ex, “I know, Princess. I just… I guess I just wanted to…”

Shining paused as he scratched the back of his mane, appearing fairly unsure as to how to continue his response. Sombra raised a brow confusedly as he and Cadance kept their focus on him. Meanwhile, Shining only needed a moment before taking a breath, and saying with a bashful glance down at the floor, “I guess I just wanted to challenge myself or something, you know? Like… I’ve been at the top for so long, but now I… I’m having to actually struggle again, and…”

As he spoke, Shining wasn’t able to see just how much the married couple’s eyes widened in surprise to hearing the sincerity in his voice. Shining may have still looked timid while trying to explain himself, but he knew that it was better said now than later on. And given how he was able to address what he was thinking in the mirror, his voice was able to come out more naturally as he continued.

“... And I think that’s what I wanted when I first asked for Sombra to join us. I… I wanted an obstacle that I can’t overcome. Just… J-Just so I can feel like I’m not at the very top anymore. I… I’m not used to being in that position like you guys are, and… having someone like Sombra to keep me in check helps me to feel more like I used to be…”

Upon hearing that self-reflection out-loud, Shining had to wonder whether or not a therapist would agree with his assessment. But at the same time, the Private knew that deep-down, that answer was one of the biggest reasons why he was so determined to remain their cuckold. He may have been an acting Prince and hero of Equestria, but he only achieved that goal after years upon years of brutal work. And after all the grueling he nights spent in boot camp, fighting neck-and-neck against fellow recruits to climb to the top, Shining couldn’t deny that there wasn’t much to combat nowadays. Since Equestria was in a new era of peace, and his own life was basically perfect as it was, what better way to keep himself going than having an obstacle he could never defeat?

“Hmmmmm…” Sombra had his eyes narrowed on Shining while tapping his chin with a hoof, and looked downright impressed by the Private’s personal admission. “... Honestly, that makes a lot of sense,” he replied with a respectful shrug. “I mean, you did spend most of your life as a fighter. Seems only fitting for you to want to continue that fight against a worthy adversary~”

Upon seeing the wide and prideful grin Sombra carried with that last sentence, Shining couldn’t help blushing before giving him a sheepish nod. Cadance didn’t appear to be too unnerved by his answer either, and even shrugged herself when she added, “I… can honestly see that too. At least, I can believe it after seeing how my Aunts have been acting recently.”

Even though the Princess’ unusual behavior in relation to their upcoming retirement wasn’t really that comparable to Shining’s dilemma, the example still made the Private smile back at her. “Yeah, exactly!” he said with a nod of his head. “It… It’s not that I want to follow orders. I just… I kinda feel like I need that kind of obstacle sometimes, you know?”

As the two Exes smiled at each other, with Cadance nodding back at him appreciatively, Sombra kept his sights on Shining while smirking in respect. Or at least as much respect as could be expected from a sadist towards their masochistic cuckold. Meanwhile, Cadance answered her Ex’s statement with, “Well, I can understand you needing a challenge from time to time. However, there’s a time and a place, and I’d rather keep things simple between the three of us right now.”

Shining nodded his head firmly, and said to his Princess, “I wholeheartedly agree, and I’ll do whatever it is you wish.”

“Thank you,” said Cadance before giving him an appreciative peck on the cheek. While Shining blushed with a bashful smile, Cadance redirected her attention to Sombra as she gave a cheekier smirk, “Buuuuuttttt… that doesn’t mean that I can’t wish to make things a challenge as well~”

Shining’s smile began to falter cautiously, while Sombra’s brows rose in intrigue. And as Cadance glanced between both of the stallions with an alluring smirk, her horn lit up as a devilish idea slipped into her head. “If you two want to make this a ‘Prince and Private’ thing, then it only seems fair that I step in to… assist in the process~”

In a matter of minutes, Princess Cadance managed to turn the tables on Sombra and Shining’s plans, and got herself involved with the extraction of the Private’s sperm. Sombra was laid out on the bed with an eager grin, with his forelegs behind his head and his cock standing rigidly in wait. Cadance was sprawled at the foot of the bed while wearing her lingerie, and was holding the thick metal chain to Shining’s leash in her hoof. And as the married ponies narrowed their eyes with equally enticed smiles, they stared expectantly at Shining while he stood wearing nothing but his collar and a nervous blush.

Shining’s muzzle was tightly clamped shut, and he tried not to shudder each time his erect cock smacked the underside of his barrel when it throbbed needily. Even though he originally expected to be wearing his Private armor for this moment, he was surprised to hear his Ex deny that addition. In her own words, Cadance wanted him to feel comfortable for his final orgasm, and didn’t want to treat this moment like all his previous cuckings. Fortunately for Sombra, that didn’t mean that his wife was planning to end all their fun for the sake of their Private~

“Get in here~” she purred as she leaned back against the bedding, and spread her hind-legs wider apart while tugging on Shining’s leash. Upon seeing the pregnant mare’s luscious and dripping pussy, the Private shuddered with a heavy blush as he nodded silently, and slowly trotted towards the bed. Each hard pull of the chain jerked Shining’s head forward as he abided by his Princess’ request, not that he seemed to mind while getting a wonderful view of that Royal marehood. But as the stallion crawled in closer towards the bed, and eyed that glistening slit between Cadance’s legs like a hungry dog, it wasn’t until his forelegs pressed onto the mattress that the Princess changed her demeanor. Her horn lit up as she moved Shining’s leash towards her aura of blue magic, and hovered it back so that it could pull in resistance.

Just as Shining’s flaring snout began to peek between her plump thighs, Shining groaned with a hard shudder as he felt his chain pulling him back from Cadance’s waiting pussy. He moaned out as he tried to push against her magic, but the metal chain didn’t move an inch to get him closer to his Ex’s flower. Instead, Cadance bit her lip as she groaned in response to the Private’s measly squirming, and said enticingly, “You really want your Princess, Private?~ Because I feel like you need to earn your orgasm first~”

“Aaaaahhhhh!!~” Cadance may have not been nearly as cruel as Sombra, but her teasing words were still effective enough to make Shining moan while tugging against her leash. He tried to stick his tongue out while his muzzle was so close to that winking pussy, and his nostrils flared out each time he took a heavy breath of her alluring musk that drove him wild. His cock was throbbing like mad while it twitched between his fidgeting legs, but the stallion didn’t even try to reach one of his hooves back to tend to that long-ignored erection. Of course, that action was easier said than done when he could hear Sombra’s enamored groans behind his wife, as well as the meaty smacks of his cock as he stroked it flauntingly before them.

“Nnnnnnnfffff~” Sombra narrowed his eyes on Shining while tending to his stallionhood shamelessly, and already had a thick bulb of precum growing at the tip of his cockhead. The sight of that thick, girthy beast caused Shining to squirm while he tried to fight Cadance’s grip on the leash; but at the same time, the Private’s blush deepened when he took a second to stare at that dauntingly superior cock, mostly due to how much it emasculated his own length. Of course, the Private didn’t really shiver in intimidation until Sombra said with a teasing growl, “Honestly, considering how much I’ve taken from you already, I’d have to wonder if you deserve such a reward, Private~”

Shining clenched his eyes as he breathed out in a sharp gasp, and struggled not to respond too suddenly to that remark. He knew that even with Cadance’s presence, as well as Sombra’s previous apology, he was most likely still expected to address his Superior as he would in private. And even as he continued to pull against the tension of his leash to try and move in closer to Cadance’s waiting slit, he glanced back at Sombra to say feebly, “I… I-I’d like to think I do, my Prince…”

“You would like to think that?~” asked Sombra with a raised brow, and a pitying scoff while shaking his head. “Jeeze, could you try sounding less confident? I swear, no wonder Cadance divorced you~”

Shining grunted as his expression grew more strained, and he shuddered with a groan as his cock twitched strongly between his legs. Unfortunately for the Private, Cadance didn’t try to scold her husband for his remark, and only added to it as she said, “Honestly, he has a point there, Shining. You could act a little more grateful about being this close to a Princess’ nethers again~”

“Oh, you know that he doesn’t~” said Sombra as his tone became meaner, and his eyes narrowed on Shining with a wickedly wide smile. “After all, if he actually did want you like that, he wouldn’t have begged for me to take his place~”

Shining finally reopened his eyes that time, and eyed Sombra while wincing with a pained pout behind his blush. That hurt expression only made Sombra grin even wider, and he continued to jerk his cock gloatingly with his hoof. “Heck, maybe he doesn’t even want to be a Prince anymore~ Could that be it, Private? It would be rather easy for us to grant you such a request~”

With the way Sombra’s eyes widened on him while saying those things, a sharp jolt of fear swept across Shining’s body while he was leashed by his giggling Ex. Cadance may have been playing along with her husband’s teasing with an entertained smirk, but the Private could tell that Sombra wasn’t just saying that stuff for show. The Prince was eyeing Shining with an especially eager grin, and he made it clear to his cuckold that his earlier promises to him were imbedded in that genuine threat. But from Cadance’s perspective, her spouse’s remarks were only meant to tease poor Shining, and she wasn’t against adding to that as she said, “Well, he technically isn’t a Prince anymore, so I can’t blame you for assuming that of him~”

Even with how enticing the scent of Cadance’s sex smelled as it wafted from her nethers, Shining’s arousal was more piqued by those teasing statements than anything else. Even though he hated to admit it to himself, the Private’s hips were writhing like mad as he struggled not to shoot his load from those ominous threats. He knew that Sombra wasn’t joking with such a dark hypothetical, and he hated that Cadance was still unaware of her husband’s cruel intentions with him. But at the same time, Shining couldn’t bear to speak up against his Superior’s plans as he moaned out between the hard pulls he gave to that chain latched to his collar.

“Tell me, Private~” purred Cadance as she shot a firm stare on Shining’s squirming form, and asked with an alluring smirk of her muzzle. “Which one of us do you really want to help you with your last orgasm? I’ll make it your pick~”

Shining’s eyes widened as he glanced back up at Cadance, and saw the sincerity in her lustful expression. Unfortunately, Shining could also see Sombra’s waiting smile right behind her, and could tell from his gleamingly evil stare that he was still expecting him to abide by orders. Shining knew that he had the perfect opportunity to have sex with Cadance one final time, and could even do it without Sombra being able to stop them. However, the Private also knew that if he was given such a long-wanted gift from his Ex, he would likely have to do something really bad the next time Sombra gave him an order.

But for some reason, Shining didn’t think of that when he actually opened his muzzle to give a statement. Instead, as the stallion stayed latched to his leash with a deep blush, and looked up at Cadance and her enticing grin, Shining could only think about his own desires as he took a breath. He would’ve absolutely loved to have this moment with Cadance one final time, but he couldn’t deny what he had said about himself earlier in the room. Deep down, the Private really did want an obstacle he couldn’t defeat, and he made that clear when he gave his answer:

“... I… I’d like Sombra, please…”

Shining winced in utter shame the instant that name came out of his muzzle instead of his Ex’s. Sombra smirked smugly as he nodded in silence, giving his approval of the Private’s decision. Surprisingly enough, Cadance didn’t seem too offended by that answer, and instead narrowed her eyes on Shining as she asked in clarification, “Are you sure you want that, Private? Because if so, I won’t ask again, and I won’t let you change your answer.”

Shining wished more than anything that he could do just that, and ask for Cadance to help guide him for his last natural climax. Unfortunately, the cuckold didn’t need to look back at Sombra’s stern stare to know what he had to do. Not to mention, Shining would’ve been lying to himself if he tried to claim that his Superior’s earlier comment wasn’t valid. In a sad way, Shining wasn’t sure if he did deserve her embrace after everything that had happened between them.

So with one last breath, Shining closed his eyes as he sighed solemnly, and nodded his head in confirmation. “... Y… Y-Yes,” he muttered pathetically. “... I… I’m sure, Princess…”

After a brief moment of silence, Cadance nodded in acceptance of his request, and floated her chain over to Sombra. “Alright then,” she said affirmatively out of respect. “If you really want him to do it, then I promise I won’t intervene. I won’t even touch you for this~”

She gave a teasing smirk after that last part, which caused Shining to cringe in a mixture of remorse and shameful arousal. Even though he had once been blessed enough to indulge in that alluring pussy whenever he had wished, nowadays he felt too lowly beside her new husband to even contemplate such a pleasure. He was sure that Sombra’s treatment was a big reason for his self-deprecating feelings, but he couldn’t feel too much regret about his choice as he was pulled so brutally by Sombra’s grip on the leash. The very moment the Prince grabbed hold of that chain, he yanked it hard enough to nearly cause whiplash while pulling the Private away from his wife.

“Get over here~” Sombra growled with an intensity more akin to a fire-spewing beast than the Crystal Empire’s technical Prince. Even Cadance gasped in surprise when she saw how brutally Shining was yanked away from her legs, and pulled across the bed to get nestled in between Sombra’s instead. Before the poor Private could even get a breath of fresh air, the tension on his leash refused to relent while his muzzle became buried beneath the weight of Sombra’s plump, musky balls. The loose, wrinkly flesh of the Prince’s endowment draped heavily over Shining’s snout, and the Private’s eyes widened as he blushed from the intense musk that immediately hit his senses like a brick to the face.

“Hehehehehe~” Cadance giggled naughtily as she looked down at Shining’s positioning between Sombra’s legs, and decided to say, “Jeeze, Sombra! You really seem to have a thing for suffocating our Private, don’t you?~”

A very muffled-sounding whimper could be heard from Shining as he squirmed in his lying stance, and shuddered from the unwashed musk that was assaulting his senses so directly. Meanwhile, Sombra just groaned in pleasure while stroking his thick cock right above the Private’s head, and he kept his heavy balls draped over that quivering muzzle as he spoke. “What’s wrong with this?” he asked with his hooves raised while giving a shrug of his shoulders. “Considering what I have planned with him, I want the Private to appreciate a real stallion’s patronage as much as he can~”

Sombra then leaned forward so his balls could press down harder over Shining’s muzzle, and the loose flesh of his ballsack tried to plug the Private’s nostrils each time he tried to breathe in. Shining could only shiver with a heavy blush while trapped under Sombra’s musky balls, sucking in breaths of his heady aroma that caused his fur to stand on end each time. From the sounds of his muffled grunts, Shining didn’t appear the most comfortable while his eyes were clenched so tightly shut. But from Cadance’s perspective, she was able to see just how much her Ex enjoyed it when his uncaged cock was rock-hard, and throbbing against the mattress to stain the satin sheets with his precum.

Cadance may have been disappointed by Shining’s choice, but it was hard for her to feel too left-out while witnessing Shining’s reluctant worship for his Prince. So with Sombra watching her with a lewd grin and an approving nod, Cadance leaned herself back on the bed before bringing one of her hooves down between her hind-legs. And right around the time Shining’s muffled whimpers started to sound more like hesitant moans, his ears flagged up when he overheard the pregnant mare’s heavy moans from behind him. He wasn’t able to pull away from his Superior’s balls to glance back at her, but he could hear Sombra’s growling voice from above when he said, “Thaaaaaat’s right, Cadance… Show off that pussy the Private will never touch again~”

Shining’s eyes clenched tighter as he trembled from that cruel reminder, knowing that Sombra was intent on making that promise valid. Heck, given how he’s been acting recently, Shining wouldn’t have been surprised if the ex-villain was always planning to treat him this way through time. Due to Sombra’s weight, Shining could only groan pathetically as he overheard Cadance’s hungry moans of pleasure, as well as the sounds of wet schlicking as she furiously rubbed her pussy in front of the two. Even though it was difficult for Cadance to look at them in her lying position due to her swollen baby-bump, her moans caught both of their attentions as she hoofed her dripping marehood mercilessly. “Aaahhh~ Mmmmmmmm… Oh, Goddess you two look good like that~”

Shining tried not to blush too hotly from hearing his Ex’s amorous words, mostly because of how embarrassed he felt for not blaming her. Despite how unpleasant it may have been to be constantly ridiculed and subjected to Sombra’s overbearing musk, the ripe scent of sweat and unwashed fur was alluring enough for his nostrils to constantly flare out with every breath. Even when his breathing became more limited under the sadist’s weight, Shining’s cock was still twitching antsily in response to the submission he was giving. He could still Cadance’s breaths growing shakier with every hard grinding of her hoof against her sensitive folds, but his attention remained focused on Sombra as he growled venomously through his randy grin.

“Put that mouth to proper use, Private,” commanded Sombra while his cock was leaking pre onto Shining’s back. “And that’s an order~”

Even with Cadance lying right there watching and stirring her cunnypot, Shining complied with Sombra’s wishes when he was finally freed from the weight of those heavy balls. Even with his muzzle slightly matted from the musky sweat that soaked into his fur, Shining pathetically nodded his head up at Sombra and muttered, “Y-Yes, my Prince…”

Shining then took a deep breath as he looked down at his Superior’s waiting balls, and closed his eyes before going in. Cadance’s brows rose up in surprise as she watched the Private’s lips wrap around one of those plump balls so naturally, like Shining had done it for his Superior many more times than she would’ve guessed herself. Of course, the Princess was also taken aback since she was still sprawled-out with her pussy on full display, and he didn’t even pause to glance back at her before tending to Sombra. Part of her wanted to be offended by being ignored by Shining, but she knew how hypocritical that’d be when she literally divorced him the other day; not to mention, Sombra looked especially content as he closed his eyes with a satisfied hiss, and shuddered in response to the Private’s tentative suckles around his crown jewels.

“Mmnnnnghhhh… Yeah, get in there~” With a hard grunt through his fangs, Sombra used one of his hooves to grab the back of Shining’s mane, and caused him to wince in pain while continuing with his duties. Even though Shining’s eyes clenched hard in response to that brutal pulling of his hair, his jaw was thankfully able to stay wide-open to hold his Prince’s thick balls. His cheeks were puffed out while he slathered his tongue around one of those plump, musky orbs that was pulsating between his drooling lips. And as the Private’s mediocre cock continued to throb and drip between his legs, the only response Shining could give between his diligent suckles were faint, muffled moans that could just barely escape around the girth of those hefty nuts.

Meanwhile, Sombra was grinning eagerly while staring down at his cuckolded bitch, and ignored Cadance’s uneasy look on the two as he said to Shining, “I hope you enjoy tending to your Prince like this, Shining Armor. It seems only fitting that your last orgasm would be made at your Superior’s discretion~”

Another whimpering groan could be heard between Sombra’s legs while Shining kept going, even though his Superior’s words were causing him to struggle quite a bit. Meanwhile, Cadance huffed with a miffed expression while sitting across from the two, even as she continued rubbing her pussy in enjoyment of the stallions’ fun. She certainly wasn’t going to complain about seeing the two studly stallions in her life getting it on for her pleasure, but she couldn’t say she was too happy while stuck in a position best suited for her Ex. Even though she had just promised she wouldn’t touch Shining during this process, that didn’t stop her from lighting up her horn brightly. And just as Shining pulled one of Sombra’s balls out of his muzzle with a wet pop, he gasped in surprise when he felt a familiar tingling pressure around his shaft.

“Just relax~” purred Cadance as she rubbed herself with a more satisfied smirk on her muzzle, and stared at Shining’s cock as it was enveloped in her blue aura of magic. Her use of magic wasn’t nearly as skilled as Twilight’s, but she was experienced enough to make the Private’s legs quiver as badly as his high-pitched moans. Sombra sat across from his wife with a wide-eyed look of puzzlement, but he didn’t try to interfere while Cadance’s magic gave Shining’s cock some long-missed, and very slow strokes to make him spasm wildly on the bed. And even as the Private belted out a multitude of shocked and overwhelmed moans each time his shaft was given such a rare titillation, he could hear Cadance’s sweet and soothing voice from behind him. “It’s alright, Shining. Just close your eyes, and take some deeeeeeeep breaths~”

Shining kept his eyes shut while nodding his head, but it was hard for him to really “relax” when he savored the first actual moment of attention being given to his cock in over a year. Each movement of Cadance’s magic left his nerves tingling on end, and he felt like even the slightest bit of additional pressure would leave him cumming buckets across the bed. Cadance smirked with a sensual purr while playing with the Private’s twitching cock, and continued to hoof her pussy in perverted delight. Meanwhile, Sombra grew a devious grin of his own upon hearing his wife’s suggestions, and decided to implement his own while Shining was too busy moaning between them.

“Take some deep breaths of this~” he ordered while holding the base of his cock with his hoof, and pointing it down towards the Private’s blushing face. Since Shining was so busy moaning out with his eyes closed, he wasn’t able to process his Superior’s order until feeling that thick, meaty cockhead prodding between his lips. When he reopened his eyes, he blinked a couple times upon seeing the hefty girth of Sombra’s cock right in front of his face. And even as his body continued to writhe from every pleasing stroke of Cadance's magic, he still shivered as he looked up at his Prince and heard him say, “You better get to work, Private~”

Even with Sombra’s cockhead lodged in his mouth, Shining gave an affirmative nod before he closed his eyes, and started his work fellating the grinning Prince. Cadance may have had a brow raised in intrigue, but she was still smiling naughtily as she shared a look with her husband. Meanwhile between the two randy Royals, Shining was trying to moan around the girth of Sombra’s cock while his Ex’s magic stroked his cock more notably than before. Shining’s hips tried to move so he could thrust himself against the mattress, but he was still tightly pinned-down by his Prince due to both of his hooves clamping hard against his head. And even as the pleasure he felt from behind grew more tantalizing, the Private couldn’t necessarily focus while Sombra shoved more of his cock inside of his willing muzzle.

By the time Sombra got the entirety of his cockhead past the lips, Shining was already drooling while slathering that meaty shaft with his tongue. His muffled groans grew even louder due to Cadance’s assistance from behind, but it didn’t take long for the Princess to feel like a third-wheel in comparison to the two stallions. Sombra had his head leaned back while moaning with a smug grin, but paused to give hard grunts each time he pushed Shining’s face further down his shaft. Even though the image was undoubtedly hot for Cadance to see, the wet schlicks to her marehood began to slow down while narrowing her eyes on the two with a skewed muzzle. Her eyes went back down to Shining’s spasming cock, which was surprisingly still going despite her magical grip stroking him tentatively.

“Yeaaaahhhhhh, get that down to your throat~” Sombra growled as he pushed down even harder against Shining’s head, which ellicited a soft gurgle as that cockhead moved to the back of his muzzle. Cadance’s eyes widened in shock when she saw a thick bulge peeking through the base of Shining’s throat, right where the Prince’s meaty head managed to cram itself into. Sombra groaned out even harder as he shivered through his gritted fangs, before he said in addition down to his Private, “There you go… Get a good taste of the cock that impregnated your Ex-Wife~”

Shining moaned out muffledly while shuddering around the Prince’s girth, even as his throat was completely plugged-up to keep him from breathing. By that point, Cadance’s magic was no longer wrapped around the Private’s cock, not that he seemed to really notice. Even with that long-missed tending to his length absent, Shining was still writhing like mad as he tried his hardest to suck Sombra’s cock and bring him to climax. Cadance blinked a couple times as she stared at her Ex’s blushed and enamored face, and then looked back down at his leaking cock.

“Ummm… Is Shining alright?” she asked Sombra, her voice carrying a strong hint of concern that matched her uneasy expression. “I mean… I don’t want him to be hurt or anything.”

“Mmmmph~ D-Don’t worry, my Princess,” growled Sombra before he reopened his eyes, and grinned back at her while holding Shining’s head firmly around his cock. “I have a feeling he won’t try to complain~”

To prove his point, Sombra shoved Shining’s head even further down his shaft, which caused the bulge from his cockhead to travel down the Private’s gullet. Cadance’s jaw dropped when she saw how naturally her Ex-husband took such a sudden thrust, with his eyelids even fluttering a little in response. The Princess stopped rubbing herself, and could only stare in bewilderment as Shining handled Sombra’s cock like the diligent Private he was. And since Sombra was too busy grinning down at him with a cocky chuckle, he wasn’t able to see his wife biting her lip in trepidation.

“Uhhhh… Shining?” Cadance tried to speak up and catch the Private’s attention, but it wasn’t until Sombra took notice that he decided to pause their fun. Without warning, Sombra pulled Shining’s head off of his cock, and his deep-throating was interrupted so that the Private could gasp several heavy breaths of air. Cadance waited for Shining to get his breathing back in check, and sat idly while fidgeting her hooves. Sombra grew a cautious look as he noticed her expression, but Cadance kept her sights on Shining when he finally turned his head to take notice of her. Her legs were crossed shut, and there was nowhere for Shining to look but her face; unfortunately, Cadance looked more wary than anything else as she asked him, “Do… Do you really not want me around? Because I… I sorta assumed you would…”

Shining may have been relentlessly turned-on and overwhelmed from both of the ponies’ tendings, but his ears quickly drooped down in guilt upon seeing her saddened expression. If he wasn’t under Sombra’s thrall so mercilessly, he would’ve been alright with begging for her attention again. And even with how close he was to climax, Shining wished that he would’ve been able to say yes to his Ex’s question. But alas, despite how badly his cock was throbbing in need of some proper attention, Shining’s breaths became weak and shaky the moment he felt Sombra’s hooves resting against his shoulders.

“This isn’t about what he wants, Cadance,” Sombra said in a calm and assuring tone, not giving Shining the opportunity to speak up for himself. “He said that he wanted a challenge, remember? An obstacle that he can’t overcome. What better way to signify that want than to deny himself the ultimate pleasure when it’s right in front of him?~”

Cadance tried her hardest not to glare at Sombra for his remark, even though she could tell he was telling the truth. Instead, she breathed out calmly before looking back down at the Private himself. Shining had his head hung guiltily low, and was averting his gaze from Cadance while perched at Sombra’s lap. Despite how badly he wanted to dispute his Superior’s claims, his sheepish demeanor said more than any untruthful oppositions ever could. But even with that, Cadance took a breath and tried to ask him, “Shining… Is that true?”

Several seconds of uncomfortable silence passed between the three, with Sombra sitting above Shining and looking down at him silently. Shining refused to glance up at his Prince, but he couldn’t bear to look back at his Ex-wife either. He deeply, deeply wished he could say that Sombra was wrong, and have at least one moment with her again to make up for the months of endless teasing and torment. However, by the time he was able to give a response, all he could do was lower his head like a coward, and close his eyes to say, “He… H-He’s not wrong…”

Cadance didn’t say anything, and just kept a neutral expression to conceal how hurt she felt on the inside. When she looked back up at Sombra, he gave a courteous smile to her as he nodded his head and asked, “See? It’s really not that complicated.”

Cadance looked like she wanted to say something, but she kept her muzzle shut as she nodded her head in silence. “I… I suppose so…”

Shining closed his eyes and sighed in absolute shame, feeling just as crappy about himself as he did when signing those divorce papers. He tried to cross his hind-legs in an attempt to cover himself, but he was sure that she could still see how hard he was after everything that was said between them. Sombra’s smile softened when he took notice of his wife’s look, and decided to ask her, “Ummm… do you need to be alone or something? I promise, I’ll collect his sample and send it to you immediately.”

Cadance instantly shot him an intense glare, and was quick to ask angrily, “Excuse me?!”

“I will not do anything bad!” assured Sombra, who even went as far as to recite Twilight’s Pinkie Promise with the hoof motions and all. “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye, I promise I will obtain Shining’s sample safely and properly. You can even undo our marriage if I don’t comply!”

Shining and Cadance both stared up at Sombra wide-eyed, not expecting him to make a promise that big. But while Shining’s eyes slowly narrowed on his Superior in suspicion, Cadance tilted her head while glaring at her blank-faced husband. After blinking a couple times, the Princess said in a stern voice, “Sombra… if anything happens to his sample, Shining won’t be the one who gets gelded on Friday. Do you understand?”

Sombra immediately nodded his head, and assured the Princess, “Yes, I understand. I swear, I’ll be on my best behavior.”

Even with how insistently honest Sombra sounded, Shining was looking worried as he glanced up at him in silence. Meanwhile, Cadance only sighed before she got off the bed, and trotted towards the door. “Well, if that’s how it’s going to be,” she said while disrobing her lingerie with her magic, and trying her hardest not to sound too pissed at both of them, “then I’ll be downstairs to check on Flurry. I’ll come back up in twenty minutes to get the sample, okay?”

“Perfect!” chirped Sombra with a content smile on his face. Shining’s eyes widened worriedly as he saw Cadance leaving the room, but he wasn’t able to speak over his Superior when he added, “And don’t worry, I doubt it’ll take me a whole twenty minutes~ Heh heh heh…”

Despite Sombra’s teasing chuckle, Cadance didn’t give much of a response as she left the room. Shining felt his heart dropping down to his chest as soon as the door locked behind her, and he was left alone with Sombra once more. He was trying not to tremble when he looked back up at Sombra with a timid look on his face. But much to his surprise, Sombra merely shot his Private a sultry smirk of his own while holding up a medical sample-cup in his hoof. “Well, Private?~” he asked Shining with a fanged grin. “You ready to give Cadance another foal?~”

Shining’s brows rose up in shock, but he didn’t try to argue with Sombra as he quickly nodded his head. Despite how worried he may have felt, he didn’t want to test his limits while Sombra was giving him this opportunity. Not to mention, given how firmly Cadance put her husband in his place, Shining could only assume that she really got to him with that promise; either that, or Sombra was a deceptively good actor. Either way, Shining wasn’t one to complain when Sombra got back in his splayed position in the bed.

“Now then,” said the Prince with an eager groan while grinning lewdly at his cuckold. “Private, I’m ordering you to continue your muzzle-work as you have before. You’ll use your magic to hold this cup steady, and to deposit your sample for my wife. You are forbidden from stopping until I finish as well. Understood?”

After taking the cup from Sombra’s hoof, Shining gave a firm salute and said, “Sir, yes Sir!”

Shining then lunged back down to Sombra’s balls, which were still glistening in saliva, and went right back to nestling his snout right between those plump orbs for some additional sniffing. Each hearty breath he took caused the Private to moan out eagerly, with the masculine scent driving his senses absolutely wild. His muzzle started to drool the longer he spent paying worship to those thick balls, which caused Sombra to purr approvingly above his head. One of Sombra’s hooves came down to pet the top of the Private’s head, which prompted Shining to keep going with the help of his tongue.

“Aaaahhhh~” Shining closed his eyes while dragging his tongue across the loose, wrinkly flesh of Sombra’s ballsack, and felt how much they were churning against his drooling lips. The Private smothered those balls against his face as he nestled in even deeper, almost as if he was trying to imprint the scent of his Superior’s against his fur like a marking. He could feel several warm globs of Sombra’s pre dripping down onto his back, which made his fur stand on end while shivering in delight. And even with Cadance absent throughout his indulgence, Shining’s cock was shamelessly erect and twitching with every hefty breath of musk that flooded his lungs.

By the time Shining pulled himself back from Sombra’s balls, he was panting heavily while his muzzle was matted in sweat and unwashed musk. But as his mouth continued drooling hungrily, Shining quickly went back in to start cramming all of his Superior’s cockmeat in his muzzle. His horn lit up with a couple of fretful sputters, before his sample cup was floated down between his own quivering legs. Meanwhile, Sombra waited until that cup was placed on the bed before grabbing the back of the Private’s head again. “Take a deep breath~” he purred with an antsy grin, and waited to hear Shining’s brief gasp before pushing down.

“MMMPHHH!!~” Just like before, Shining felt the massive girth of Sombra’s cockhead filling the inside of his mouth and moving back towards his throat. Even though his gag-reflex was no longer an issue after his months of service underneath Sombra, Shining still had to clench his eyes shut as he felt that meaty head clogging his throat again. Sombra let out a guttural groan while sliding the Private’s lips down his shaft again, and plugged up Shining’s throat like it was his personal fleshlight. Despite knowing he only had a few minutes at most to get Shining off before he could risk passing out, Sombra had a determined grin while staring down at his gurgling cuck.

“Now that we’re alone again,” he growled with a much more intimidating tone of voice, as well as a malicious grin that made his fangs peek out obscenely, “let’s see how well you can give some proper worship~”

Shining’s eyes were wide-open while looking up at his grinning Prince, but couldn’t move while his throat was clogged with so much throbbing cockmeat. Sombra looked unbelievably terrifying as he grinned down at him so evilly, but the poor Private couldn’t bear to move while his cock was twitching so hard between his legs. Even though he was worried what would happen if he stayed (especially with his breathing cut off), Shining tried to keep his cock pointed inside of the cup between his legs. Meanwhile, Sombra’s hooves kept a firm grip on the back of Shining’s head while staring into his unblinking eyes.

“Unless you want me to do something really bad,” he said with a threatening tone that matched his wicked smile, “then you better start worshipping your King~”

Shining’s brows rose up immensely after hearing that term, not expecting for Sombra to actually say that out-loud again. Despite how malicious and cruel Sombra could be, Shining and Cadance were convinced that his previous days of power and conquest were long behind him. But even with his past assurances that he wanted nothing to do with politics, Sombra narrowed his eyes menacingly on Shining after referring to himself as King. The look he had on his face was scarily similar to how he looked when he last invaded the Crystal Empire years ago; but alas, Shining couldn’t even think of pulling away as he shivered under his hooves, and began to suckle the base of Sombra’s shaft meekly.

“Mmmmmm… That’s right, Shining Armor~” growled Sombra as he smiled wide enough to make his fangs glisten in the bedroom. “Take my cock niiiiiice and slow… Let the taste of your King linger on your tongue~”

Shining wanted to think that Sombra was just playing up his role to further demean him, but it was hard for him to assume that while sucking on that thick cock. His eyes clenched shut as he struggled to focus on his work, even though his lungs were starting to sting a bit from the lack of oxygen. But much like the first time, it didn’t take long for small trickle of drool to seep from Shining’s lips as he bobbed his head up and down that length, mostly due to Sombra’s tight grip on his hair. The Private didn’t have to move much while being guided by his Superior’s hooves, but his body still trembled worriedly as he heard Sombra speaking more ominously from up above.

“Nnnnffff… Maybe I was too generous when I only demoted you to Private, Shining,” he said cockily while eyeing him with a large grin. His hooves kept moving that tight muzzle up and down his length, which caused his cock to throb more prominently between Shining’s supple lips. “Honestly, I shouldn’t even call you a Private anymore, should I? Oh, noooooo… Right now, all I see is a pathetic, ball sucking, musk smelling Slave tending to his King~”

Shining tried to whimper dreadfully at his Superior’s worrying statements, but nothing could come out of his muzzle while Sombra’s cockhead was moving up and down his throat. Tears were stemming from Shining’s eyes as he squirmed from the uncomfortable pressure given to his airway, as well as the burning in his lungs growing more painful with each passing second. Unfortunately, Sombra kept pumping his Private’s mouth up and down at a faster rate than before, and continued to speak down to him with a broodingly wide grin.

“You know this is your proper place, don’t you? Even before you asked me to fuck Cadance for you, you knew that you wanted to be in a place like this. Isn’t that right?~”

Shining wanted to shake his head as his eyes clenched tighter, but he couldn’t exactly make the motions while Sombra was using his throat like a sex toy. The pressure and pain was growing more intense for the poor Private, but his cock was still throbbing hard while hearing Sombra’s intimidating voice above his head.

“Maybe that’s why you chose me, didn’t you? I already conquered you before, and yet you decided that I would be the stallion best suited for Cadance. And why is that, hmmm?~ Could it be that deep down, you recognized my greatness as King was far better than anything you could achieve as Prince? Is that it, Shining Armor?~”

“Nnnnghh!” Shining could barely get anything out of his muzzle, but that pathetic grunt was the closest he could get to uttering out a feeble “No” for Sombra to hear. But alas, the grinning Prince kept going as his smile grew more terrifying, and he leaned his muzzle down to whisper his daunting statements.

“Admit it, Slave~” he hissed right into Shining’s ear, which caused him to quiver with his cock spurting some precum into the cup. But even with how diligently Shining tried to keep himself in control, he could barely keep his horn lit while hearing his Superior say, “You picked me because you couldn’t resist my control, could you?~ That’s why you put up with everything I’ve done to you for so long. Deep down, you needed someone like me to defeat you. You wanted someone to put you in your place, and leave you feeling just as you had before your Royal titles were thrown onto your lap. But most of all… You wanted to find a stallion who was better than you~”

Shining was starting to see spots bubbling up in his vision, even when his eyes were still clenched shut from the strain of his burning lungs. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could go as his head continued to be used like Sombra’s personal toy, and he could feel that plump cockhead sweeling out to grind up and down his throat. However, the Private could also feel his own member throbbing painfully hard, and his balls were riding up with each pulsation to try and coax him into giving in. But even with how badly he felt like he needed to cum, Shining was writhing in a painfully amorous high while his body squirmed in ecstasy, and Sombra’s whispers made his heart race immensely.

“And you know that I’m better than you, don’t you?~” Sombra hissed with an especially intense sneer, as his snout tried to remain within inches of Shining’s ear while fucking his throat. “Can you even deny such a claim, Shining? I fucked Cadance more times than you could probably count, and I gave her the son that you never could. And even as I have you in my grasp, literally calling you my Slave, you still refuse to fight back. And you know why, Private? Because you know that you’re nothing more than a Slave for someone as superior as me. I’m smarter than you, stronger than you, a much better lover than you could ever be…”

During his brief pause, Sombra groaned hard as he pushed down the back of Shining’s head, and made him gurgle loudly as his lips pressed against his Superior’s waist. And as his throat remained completely lodged with Sombra’s hot cockmeat, Shining felt like he was going to pass out from oxygen deprivation. However, just as he felt his body trembling in anticipation of what was to come, and Sombra’s cock throbbed intensely inside of his gullet, he heard Sombra whisper one last thing to set him over the edge:

“... And I’m willing to bet if I ordered you to surrender, I would be a far better ruler than you as well~”

“MMMMPHHHH!!” Shining’s eyes were pinched tightly shut as he spasmed underneath his King, but his horn remained brightly lit for the cup that was just barely remaining in his grip. Due to how hazy his head was getting from Sombra’s cock clogging his throat, every pulsation he felt from his long-ignored stallionhood sent intense waves of pleasure that tingled his nerves like an electrical surge. His eyes rolled back while feeling his Superior’s shaft throbbing between his lips, but he was barely able to process Sombra’s climax while enduring his own. After months upon months of constant teasing and near-permanent chastity, Shining felt nothing but the purest euphoria sweeping his system each time a thick rope of his cum shot into his little cup. Even though Sombra’s orgasm lasted much longer than his Private’s, Shining looked absolutely blissful while moaning around his Superior’s girth, and using the last of his magical strength to keep the cup steady for its filling.

“Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!~” Sombra’s hips writhed upward as he deepthroated his Slave to his heart’s content, and unloaded a massive volley of cum right down Shining’s throat. The massive bulge of his member was sticking out prominently against the stallion’s gullet, and could be seen pulsating each time he shot a heavy rope of cum straight to the Private’s stomach. Even though Shining’s horn was able to stay lit, it was clear that he was losing consciousness as he twitched and spasmed around that thick cock clogging his airway and leaving him suffocated with musk. Fortunately for the Private, and especially that cup on the bed, Sombra was gracious enough to pull himself out the moment he was finished.

“NNNGHHHHH!!!~” With a single hard thrust back from Shining’s face, Sombra pulled his cock out with a hard gurgle that caused the Private to fall off the bed. Shining’s eyes were rolled back as he gasped for dear life, and rolled around on the floor to desperately suck in some fresh air. He could overhear Sombra’s delighted chuckling from up above, but the Private couldn’t have cared less while savoring the sweet release that followed his deposit. Even though he knew that would likely be the last true orgasm he would ever experience, Shining couldn’t deny that it was also one of the best climaxes he ever felt in his life.

“Uggghhhhhh… Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh~” Shining laid on the floor for a long while, and sighed with his eyes closed as he smiled to himself in contentment. Despite everything that Sombra said right before his ejaculation, Shining couldn’t feel much regret as he laid in a truly satisfied state. He could hear Sombra getting himself off the bed, but the Private waited a moment before he could get himself back on his hooves. And by the time he finally reopened his eyes, Shining shivered with a bitten lip while struggling to get himself back in check.

Unfortunately, the Private didn’t need too long to get his energy back, as his body jolted in fear the moment he saw Sombra standing dominantly before him. The Prince was glaring down at him with an evilly wide smile, and his imposing presence made it obvious that he wasn’t done with Shining just yet. The Private’s eyes widened worriedly when he caught sight of those menacing fangs, and his body struggled not to tremble as he remained lying before Sombra’s hooves.

“So, Shining…” Those red eyes narrowed on him with nothing but pure malice peeking through his thin pupils. And as the Private’s heavy blush diminished to match his paling look of terror, Sombra’s smile grew even wider when he asked, “Did you fulfill your duties for Princess Cadance?~”

Shining was shivering in fear, but he was able to give a timid nod of his head and say, “Uhhhh… Y-Yeah, I… I did…” The Private slowly pulled himself off the ground with a strained grunt, and glanced back at the bed to see that cup sitting in wait. The bedding all around it was bunched-up and wrinkled, but the sheets were smooth against the mattress where that blank cup was resting. The cap wasn’t put back on, so Shining was able to see the large collection of his milky white fluids that filled three-quarters of it. Without being told, Shining lit up his horn so that he could carefully lift up the cup with his magic.

Sombra stood in wait as he saw Shining’s cup hovering in that magenta aura, and kept himself silent with a malicious smile. When the Private turned back to him, the little cup was hovering between them when he asked, “Ummm… Do you know where the lid is?”

“Put it on the floor.”

Shining’s eyes widened, and he took a second to process that command in stunned silence. Meanwhile, Sombra’s eyes were wide-open while grinning at his Private, and stood with an intimidating stance to make Shining quiver. The cup was still floating in Shining’s aura as he looked back at it, and tried to ask, “W… What?”

“As your King, I order you to put it on the floor.” After that repeated statement, Sombra narrowed his sights on him and added, “Or maybe I should have you wear some body-writing again~”

Shining gasped in a panic, and quickly floated the uncovered cup down to the ground. It was carefully placed on the crystal floor, right between himself and Sombra’s imposing figure. When he turned off his horn, the Private gulped upon seeing how little his Superior’s malicious grin changed. In fact, Sombra was looking even more unsettling as he eyed Shining intensely, and remained silent for a dreadfully long moment. When he finally spoke, Sombra refused to blink while staring down the unlucky Private with a fanged smile.

“Do you remember when you told me not to hold back?~”

Shining’s fur may have been white already, but his face paled immensely upon hearing the sadism in Sombra’s question. But even as his body quivered like a fallen leaf before Sombra’s presence, Shining kept his muzzle clenched shut as he took a shaky breath, and gave the faintest nod of his head.

Sombra tilted his head, and smiled even wider before asking, “And do you remember when I said I intend to ruin you, Shining?”

Shining winced painfully, and tried not to sniffle as he gave another measly nod.

“Good.” With that, Sombra pointed a hoof down to that cup between them, and leaned in to say right into Shining’s face, “Because as your King, I hereby order you to stomp on that cup, and destroy your lineage right now~”

A weak gasp escaped Shining’s muzzle, which almost sounded like a sob. He took a single step back from his Superior, and tried to shake his head while saying, “Y… Y-You… You can’t--”

“I SAID DO IT~”

With the way Sombra’s eyes were widening on him, Shining had to clenched his eyes shut to keep from seeing his piercingly evil gaze. His body trembled in unrelenting fear and remorse, having wished he had kept Cadance in the room when he made that deposit. But now, all he could do was stand pathetically before his sadistic King, and try his hardest not to comply with such a horrifying order. If he were to actually do it, not only would Shining lose any chance of having a foal after his gelding, but Cadance would never forgive either of them for denying her request. But even as the Private cringed and faltered in his movements, his right hoof was twitching a bit against the crystal floor.

“You know I would give Cadance the foals she deserves,” said Sombra with an intensely domineering growl, his eyes never straying away from Shining’s squirming stance. “And you know that my seed is better than your own. Just like everything else between us. Even when you were a ‘Prince’, I exceeded your accomplishments by being King. There isn’t a single thing about you that exceeds me, and you know it~”

Shining’s muzzle was as tightly clenched as his eyes, but his lips were quivering like his hoof was. Upon seeing that physical tick, Sombra leaned in with a more leering stare and said, “If you can tell me one thing about you that’s better than me, I’ll allow you to take that cup to my wife. But if you can’t, I expect you to prove just how right I am to have you castrated~”

After that “deal,” Sombra leaned back and stood in wait for his Private’s response. Shining kept his eyes closed while writing worriedly before his Superior, his face showing a lot of conflict due to how badly his muzzle was skewed. Sombra wasn’t able to read minds, but he could only imagine that Shining was trying to think of something he had that was better than him. As the seconds morphed into minutes, Shining’s expression grew more strained before letting out a pained grunt of anguish. His head hung low as his compromised state grew more evident, and it wasn’t until his groans intensified that he was able to give a response.

“Nnnnghhhh… Mmmmnnnnnfffffff… GnnnnnnnNNNAAAAHHHH!!”

CRUNCH!!

Shining couldn’t take it anymore, and let out a pathetically strained cry as he lifted his hoof high, and then stomped down as hard as he could. He couldn’t bear to open his eyes during the order, but his heart broke the moment he felt that plastic cup crumple under his hoof. With a single step, Shining shivered in absolute dread as he felt the warm, sticky substance between his hoof and the floor. His head immediately hung low in shame, and he struggled not to cry after doing the most unthinkable act he could’ve imagined.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! HAAAAAAA, HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!~” Sombra reeled his head back while cackling gleefully, looking absolutely delighted by what he forced his Private to do. And even as Shining stood in a puddle of his guilt (and obviously that mess he made on the floor), Sombra laughed at his misery for a long while before he could get himself back in check. “Whoo! I’m not going to lie, I did not expect you to actually do that so quickly~”

“Nnnnng…” Shining whimpered painfully, and looked like he was going to start sobbing at any moment. Unfortunately, that only made Sombra smile even wider in approval of the pain he was able to provide.

“Well,” he said while tilting his head the other way, and saying with a matter-of-fact tone, “at least now you know what you really want from now on~”

Even when he reached out to pat the top of Shining’s head like an obedient pet, the leashed and collared stallion didn’t give much of a response while standing in defeat. But alas, the Private’s morose state didn’t keep Sombra from pointing down to the milky-white puddle, and proclaiming, “So with that being said, I now order you to lick it up with your tongue! And you better finish before my wife returns~”

Even though Shining exhaled with a devastated groan, he complied with a weak nod before lowering his head down. His muzzle wrinkled sharply as he opened his mouth, and stuck out his tongue to press against the cold puddle on the floor. But in less than a second, Shining’s eyes shot wide-open before he jolted up, and he started spitting out the weird chemical taste that was plastered on his tongue. “BLEH! Ptoo! Ptoo! Ptoo!”

Once again, Sombra laughed maniacally while pointing a hoof at Shining, looking rather amused that he was still continuing his orders. Meanwhile, the Private used his other hoof to wipe his tongue clean, and waited until smacking his lips a couple times to gawk back at Sombra. “Is… Is that lotion?!”

Shining’s eyes widened when he looked back at his Superior, and saw him standing with a shit-eating grin on his face. In his hoof, Sombra was holding the real sample cup, which happened to have medical labeling on the side to indicate it’s authenticity. The cap was safely applied to the top, and Shining Armor’s patronage was fully contained inside without any sign of sabotage. Shining blinked a couple times while staring at the cup in shock, unable to say a thing in response to Sombra’s little trick.

“What?” asked the Prince with a sly shrug of his shoulders. “Did you really think I’d make you do that for real?~”

Despite the Superior’s casually chipper tone, Shining glared at him like he just sprouted a dick where his horn used to be. “YES!” he shouted bluntly enough to make Sombra’s brows raise in surprise. “Yes, I thought you were! Do you really think I’d do that if I did?!”

“And yet you did it anyway~” retorted Sombra with a cocky purr, which was more than enough to make Shining look away from him with a bitter scowl. Meanwhile, Sombra scoffed with a confident smirk while holding his Private’s seed, and asked, “Seriously, you heard what Cadance told me, right? I might be a King to you, but Cadance is still a Princess to me. And despite how right I may be about you, I’m not going to endanger my wife’s trust in me. That’s why I’M the one who’s happily married, while you’re the divorced cuckold~”

Even though he could respect Sombra’s moral compass, and even understand how he could find that power-play so amusing, Shining winced with his eyes clenched shut while standing in shame. Not only was he willing to destroy his own lineage due to an order, but now he was stuck as the lesser stallion compared to Sombra’s “Ethics.” But even with how overwhelmed and guilty he felt for going against Cadance’s wishes, Shining wasn’t able to stew in his shame for long before Sombra came up to him. Before the Private could even react, Sombra pulled him in with a foreleg, and held him close as he spoke through a venomous grin.

“But I will say, little Slave,” he growled as his smile grew scarily wide, and he made Shining whimper while speaking into his ear. “You reallllllllly impressed me with abiding by such a cruel order. You know why?~ Because with that move, you proved to be that you really do see yourself as the lesser stallion~ Not to mention… You made it clear that you’re willing to follow any orders I give, regardless of how wrong they may be~”

Shining’s eyes widened in a panic, and he tensed up greatly while latched in Sombra’s foreleg. But even as his body quivered against his Superior’s, he was frozen in fear while feeling Sombra’s hot breath against his face, and hearing his voice turn more sinister with each passing word.

“You knew that Cadance wanted that sample, and you knew how upset she would be if she didn’t get it. You were wanting to save that sample as well, but you were still willing to go against her wishes to please me. And guess what? That means from my point of view, I could give you any order, and you would do it like the inferior little bitch I proved you to be~”

Sombra then pulled Shining in with both hooves, and positioned him so he was braced underneath him with their foreheads touching. While Shining was squatted awkwardly against the floor, Sombra was looming over him with a wide-eyed stare, and a gleaming smile that caused the Private’s legs to buckle. His red eyes bore into Shining’s very soul, and his brooding voice carried the utmost sincerity and malice as he spoke threateningly to his quivering Private.

“From now on, you’re no longer my Private, Shining Armor. When the two of us are alone like this, you’re nothing more than a lowly Slave in my presence. And you shall address me as your King. Is that understood?~”

Even with all the training he had in the Royal Guard, and all the confidence he amassed as Prince of the Crystal Empire, Shining Armor was too intimidated by Sombra’s sadistic confidence to stand up to such a statement. Instead, the divorced cuck could only shiver in dread, before giving a weak nod of his head.

“Good~” Sombra then made his Slave gasp as he grabbed the back of his blue mane, and added with a wider smile, “And as far as your reputation is concerned, I can assure you that you’re on limited time. You might be seen as a ‘Prince’ outside this room, but I refuse to let such a spineless and pathetic cuckold hold such a title. And by the time I leave you neutered on Friday, you’ll truly understand how much better I am than you~”

Sombra then pulled Shining’s head in, and gave him a deep kiss that caused the Slave’s eyes to widen for a moment in surprise. But despite how horrified the stallion may have looked, it didn’t take long for Shining’s eyes to become half-lidded during their forbidden kiss of doom. In fact, Shining’s eyes eventually closed shut, and he wrapped his hooves around Sombra’s head to reciprocate the kiss just as deeply. The two stallions made out for a long moment in such a passionate embrace, and Shining’s cock was rock-hard by the time they finally finished. Fortunately for the lowly Slave, Sombra didn’t look disappointed by Shining’s erection when he pulled back from him with a lustrous smirk.

“I’ll take this sample to my wife, Slave~” he growled as he picked up Shining’s cup, and went towards the door to exit the room. “While I’m gone, I expect you to get comfortable with that new role I assigned you. Maybe say it in front of the mirror a couple times, just to practice admitting it out-loud~”

Shining cringed with his teeth gritted, but stayed silent as he watched his King making his leave. But just as Sombra opened the door, and he was halfway out the room, he stopped to look back at Shining with an especially cruel grin. “Tell me what you are, Shining Armor~”

Shining closed his eyes with a pained wince, and took a deep breath before answering Sombra with his head hung low. “I… I-I’m… I’m your Slave…”

“That’s right,” cooed Sombra with an approving nod, before he narrowed his eyes on Shining and added, “and you better say that with a smile next time, or else I’ll make you say that at the Crystal Formal in front of everyone~”

Shining’s jaw dropped in absolute horror, but Sombra paid no heed to it as he exited the room with the Private’s seed. As soon as the door shut behind him, Shining nearly collapsed to the floor while trembling in fear. He had no idea what to do, or even where to go after hearing everything Sombra just told him. He knew that he should’ve ran off to find some help, or maybe tell Cadance exactly what was going on. Heck, he could even find Twilight and tell her as well, just so he could get some assistance from the Elements if needed.

Unfortunately, when the trembling cuckold looked down at himself, he cringed when he saw that his cock was still painfully erect, and already leaking pre after everything that just happened. His conscience might not approve of the idea of being Sombra’s Slave, but Shining couldn’t deny that his body was handling the idea very differently...
