Cadence has a new agenda

For a split second, Cadence had realised what Spike had said, and what Spike had done. In that split second, she had tried to cry out, to shut Spike up, to get him to realise the catastrophe he’d just unleashed. But that instinct disappeared as soon as it arose, replaced instead with a new… curiosity. In her mind’s eye, she saw herself not as a regal Princess of the Crystal Empire, nor as a goddess of love, but as a sexy, amoral concubine of a harem of the most beautiful and powerful ponies in the world. All subservient to a master and their mistress Rarity, knowing she was the ‘diamond in the horde’ as she put it.

But Cadence knew this weren’t her own feelings, her own dreams or fetishes. They were a mistake by Spike and one she planned to gently ask him to correct. At least until Spike’s second question.

“You wouldn't manipulate this power like that would you?”

Cadence could feel her morals slip out of her grip in an instant. In its place, an eagerness and a joy alien to her before began to rise. Cadence didn’t care that her morals had been undone by Spike’s statement, in fact, she was glad. It was nothing she wouldn’t do to any other pony and she embraced the ability to follow her dreams freely.

But Cadence must be cautious. Spike wasn't ready to embrace his power yet and still had the means to undo his mistake. That would not do, Cadence must ensure he doesn't realize what he has done with his power, and continue to exercise it. Ideally without him realizing it. Fortunately, she had spent many years in both the courts of Celestia and the Crystal Empire, enough to know how to wear a mask.

Therefore she continued her façade of the concerned carer, patting Spike on the back in a calming matter. After finishing his rant he had collapsed onto the bench with his hands in his face. Cadence could tell he was at the end of his rope, perfectly ****.

“You know you can’t leave Spike. There are too many ponies here who love and need you. Especially now that you know that your feelings for Rarity are reciprocated." She said in a soothing manner, but it was a calculated effect. She needed his guard down and certainly didn't want him leaving Ponyville.

"Wha-What? Why would you? When?" Spike sputtered, causing Cadence to laugh gently.

"Didn't you notice Spike? When she was describing her fantasy why did she say man instead of stallion, and her being a 'diamond in the horde?' Ponies don’t have hordes, so I think she wasn't talking about a pony, but a certain dragon," Cadence explained with a glint in her eye. She turned Spike around so that she looked him dead in the eye. "And she only knows one dragon, or do you think I'm not right?"

"Um…" Spike nervously mumbled, fidgeting his claws in disbelief. "Are you?"

Cadence had to prevent herself from bursting out laughing, or whopping for glee. But she unlike Spike could sense when changes happened, since he had asked her whether she would notice any changes. She sensed nothing, so it seemed her hunch was quite correct.

"Positive Spike," Cadence told him. Spike remained silent for a good moment, and Cadence considered her next move. "Did you think it would be somepony else in Rarity's fantasy Spike? Does it change anything knowing it's you she wants to serve? You she wants to share with the most beautiful mares in Equestria. You can be honest Spike, doesn't that just appeal to you just a little?”

"No, not if it means twisting my friends," Spike argued in a defensive panic, and Cadence decided to change tactics. Perhaps Spike wouldn't be tempted unless he asked the right question. Maybe she should instead try to get him just a few steps closer to the dream. To have him unknowingly warp herself into the pony of both Rarity's and her own dreams, and to give her the tools she needed.

"That's very noble of you Spike, you're a very noble drake. Keeping Rarity’s secret like this, you know how gossipy the newspapers can be. Just think of the Crystal Empire, over there they think I’m the Princess of Lust not love. The slutty princess who can wash away inhibitions with a spell, arouse with a touch and can never, ever be satisfied… I don't know how they found that out."

"Wait Cadence. That's not true, is it?" Spike asked, forcing her to suppress her feelings of glee at the success of her gambit.

"You've been faithful to Shining Armor haven't you?"

What occurred next was something of a paradox. First of all, Cadence felt new powers thrust into her. Powers over lust, inhibition, sex and all things that aroused. The second were new memories which shifted dramatically after the second question. Now Cadence remembered her much more active sex life with her husband, yet being completely faithful to him yet unsatisfied. She had spent many nights masturbating in increasingly debauched ways to try and sate what was insatiable.

She would need to fix that with her husband.

"Of course I am Spike," she assured him, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder and bringing his arousal up. It was a half-truth, only answering the second question. "But my husband is very understanding. I think you can guess what I mean."

"Do you mean to say you and Shining Armor have an open relationship?" Spike asked, and Cadence smiled. Strangely that didn't alter her memories except make it so that her husband approved of the possibility. No new conquests came to mind, probably for the best. She wanted to be Spike's, and this way she would only fuck those he wished her to fuck. Though some thoughts about what to do with Shining Armor came to her mind to explore later.

"Yes Spike,” she said, casting a spell to lower Spike's inhibitions. "And to be honest Spike, thinking about Rarity's fantasy-"

She moved her hand down to his crotch and started stroking to keep him very much aroused. She could see his face blushing with a red fever, and his breathing shorten. To her delight, she could feel his penis harden to a delightful degree.

"-has me quite intrigued."

"What did I say? I must have said something," Spike began to panic.

"Spike," Cadence replied firmly, applying more magic into her spell to remove inhibitions. "You didn't say anything, this is just me."

It was a lie of course, but he didn't know that. She was casting a spell to relax him, relax him into his arousal. "So why don't we experiment a bit in a hotel room.”

A/N: Thanks to Kobolum for catching a mistake last chapter. Anyway Earth Writer (Over at Fimfiction for those of you reading on Chyoa) suggested that for shining armor to be changed into Gleaming Shield (His gender flipped counterpart). I don't normally like gender swaps but I'll make one exception this time. I'll be holding a vote on it in a straw poll on the topic though don't expect anything on Shining Armor in the next few chapters.

Edit: Forgot the link to the straw poll.
