Mark and Rye

Okay the usual stuff that nobody reads.  This is a gay story with
lots of gay sex.  If you aren't supposed to be here, leave.  The
work is mine and unless you ask you can't post it anywhere else.
I have no clue if any member of Westlife is gay, so this is all
my fantasy.  Email me at rye_encoke@hotmail.com to tell me what
you like or hate.

The author wishes to acknowledge and thank the archivist for
Nifty for allowing this story to be published here.

Authors Notes: After many emails, some threatening violence
against my body, which I ignored, and others offering sexual
favours, which I took names and addresses, here is chapter 9
a week early.  Please understand how worried I am that I get
behind in my writing.  I have many chapters written but like
to keep about 2 months (8 chapters) ahead in case I hit a block.
This ONE TIME only I am giving in and posting early.  I hope you
all understand and realize that if I do it too often, at some
point I am going to run out of pre-written chapters and you may
have to wait several weeks for a new chapter....and nobody wants
that.

DEDICATION:  This Chapter is dedicated with love to a special
new friend.  This is for you David, enjoy and know that I count
you as a friend.  My thoughts are with you.

- The Hands of a Master, The Voice of an Angel -

The guys were all sitting around in the tv area as Bryan and Nicky
once again fought it out on the Playstation.  Nobody was really
into the game though as they were all waiting for Jill and Mark
and someone called Maestro to show up.  But it had been almost
three hours now since the guys had gotten home and no Jill or
Mark.

Finally they heard the door to the loft open and Mark's voice.
Mark was clearly upset and he was almost screaming.  "Don't ever
expect me to get in a car with you again Jill.  I swear to God I
thought I was going to die."

Everyone looked up with a smile on their face thinking this was
part of the plan to surprise Rye.  Then they saw the blood on
Mark's shirt and the bandage on his forehead.  Everyone rushed to
him.  He threw his arms around Shane and sobbed.

Jill was following behind and was clearly upset.  "I said I was
sorry Mark.  Please forgive me.  I promise it won't happen
again."

"What happened here?" Rye asked as he took Shane's place holding
Mark.

"We were driving home and I accidentally ran a stop sign and we
got in an accident.  It wasn't bad.  The other car swerved and we
hit a parked car.  But Mark got hurt,"  Jill said meekly.

"Jill you know our deal," Rye said tightly.  He was upset, that
was clear.  Without releasing Mark he held his hand out to Jill.
She dropped her gaze and handed over her keys.

"A year Jill.  You promised," Rye said, again tightly conrolling
his anger.

"A year," she nodded.

Rye pulled in a deep breath and let it out slowly, releasing Mark
and pulling Jill into an embrace.  Jill broke down.

"Oh God Rye, Mark is right, I could have killed us both.  I'm so
sorry,"  Jill sobbed losing all control.

"But you didn't.  It's over Jill.  Let it go."  Rye rocked her
gently for a few minutes, then softly said, "Kian?"

Kian was there instantly as Rye passed Jill into his arms.  Rye
held Mark at arms length and looked him over.  He gently pulled
back the bandage and saw the stitches.  His eyes flashed darkly as
anger surfaced again.  Mark saw his eyes and placed his hand on
Rye's face.  Rye relented and let go of his anger.

"Why don't we order supper in and just relax for a bit.  I think
everyone has had quite a day,"  Shane suggested as he reached for
his cell.

"Sounds good boyo, how does everyone feel about pizza?"  Rye
asked.

Everyone nodded.  Shane dialed the number Rye gave him.  Mark and
Rye headed up to the bedroom to change.  Everyone turned to Kian
and Jill with a question in their eyes.

"I promised Rye that next time I had an accident I would give up
driving for a year and then take lessons before I got back behind
the wheel,"  Jill explained.

Everyone nodded.  "That's good to hear Jill but I was wondering
where is this Maestro person we were expecting?" Nicky asked.

"After the accident he decided to go home.  He wasn't hurt but he
was pretty shook up.  The guitar is in the car, undamaged.  Once
Mark is okay I am sure he will go get it,"  Jill said a little
shakily.

Everyone sat down and waited for Rye and Mark to reappear.  It was
almost a half hour before they came back down stairs.  They were
both quiet but went immediately to Jill.

"I'm sorry I got so upset Jill but you really scared me and I got
so afraid when I thought I might be taken away from Rye,"  Mark
said softly.

Jill looked in his eyes and saw that indeed his fear was at the
thought of not being with Rye and of leaving Rye alone.  Jill
broke down again and hugged Mark tightly.

"I'm so sorry Mark please forgive me.  Please forgive me Rye."
she had lost control again and was starting to hyperventilate.

"It's okay Jill.  We both forgive you." Rye held her from behind
and the two men wrapped her in love.  She calmed down almost
immediately as she felt their love surround her and soon she was
just sniffling a little.

"We okay now?" Rye said from behind her.

"Yes," She said and went to sit with Kian, as the buzzer rang.

"I'll grab some drinks while someone grabs the pizza,"  Rye said
happily.

Soon everyone was sitting enjoying pop and pizza.  The events of
the day forgiven and forgotten.  Jill seemed to be back to her
usual self.  Mark was certainly okay as he laughed at something
Nicky had said.  Rye was also listening and just shook his head
and smiled.  Finally Bryan could contain himself no longer.

"I think some people got gifts today and I want to see them," he
almost shouted.

Shane looked at him a little crossly but then burst out laughing.
"Me too, I can't wait much longer."

"Okay me first," Kian said as he went to his jacket and took out a
small box.  He sat down beside Jill again and handed it to her.
She saw that everyone had big smiles on their faces.  She opened
the box and gasped.

"Oh Kian, it's beautiful.  I used to have one just like it," Jill
said.

"I know, Rye helped me pick it out.  He knew it would be perfect,"
Kian said.  He smiled at Rye with gratitude.

Jill kissed Kian passionately and wrapped her arms around him.  She
looked like she planned to be that way for the rest of her life.

"Okay us next," Bryan giggled and stood up.  The rest of the guys
except for Mark also stood.

"One, two, three," Suddenly all four guys dropped their pants to
reveal they were all wearing white boxer shorts with large designs
on the front.  Shane wore a yellow moon, Kian an orange star,
Bryan a purple horseshoe and Nicky a blue diamond.  That's right,
Lucky Charms underwear.

The others realized immediately what was going on.  Rye went the
deepest shade of red anyone had ever seen.  From behind his back
Shane threw a pair with a pink heart on it to Mark, and a green
clover to Rye.

After a few minutes everyone calmed down and Jill looked at Mark.
"Mark you left your gift in the car.  I think now would be a good
time to get it."

Mark smiled, got up and headed for the door then stopped.  Coming
back to Rye he leaned over the couch and kissed him on the mouth.
"I love you Rye, more than you can ever imagine."

After he left Rye turned to the group.  "Okay what's up you guys,
you know something."

Everyone just stared back at Rye with stupid grins on their faces
and Bryan fell over on the floor and giggled, his emotions
overcoming him again and coming out in a giggling fit.

Finally Mark came back.  "Close your eyes Rye," he said from the
door.  "Does he have them closed?"

"Yes they are closed," Nicky said after getting up and putting his
hands over Rye's eyes just to be sure.

Mark came in carrying a guitar case.  He sat down next to Rye and
laid the case across his lap.

"Okay open your eyes," Mark said.

Rye opened his eyes and waited for Nicky to remove his hands, then
he looked down.  His eyes went from surprise to fear to joy in
just a few seconds.  He looked at Mark and pulled him in for a
kiss.

"You knew didn't you?  You knew I really wanted my guitar to play
it again?"  Rye asked.

Mark nodded, "Open it Rye."

Rye smiled at his friends and opened the case.  His jaw fell as he
saw what was in the case.  He started to tremble and tears fell
from his eyes.

"Oh my god how?" he whimpered.

"The Maestro found it and kept it in case this day ever came."
Jill said.  "I didnt know he had it but when Mark said he wanted
to buy you a guitar I knew only the Maestro would be able to get
us what we needed.  It turned out he had all your music stuff.
The rest is in the car too."

"Rye?" Mark asked.  "Are you happy?"

"So happy," Rye whispered.

"It's all tuned.  Rye please play for us, for me.  Play for
yourself,"  Mark whispered as he took the guitar from the case
and handed it to Rye.

Rye took the guitar and held it closely.  He paused for a long
time seemingly trying to decide if he was going to play or not.
Finally he looked up and everyone saw the lights dancing in his
eyes, and everyone's heart did a little flip at the sight.

"Thank you all for this, you don't know what having my music back
means to me.  And I will play for you.  This is a piece I wrote
when I was 16, it's called Caliente."

And with that Rye turned back to his guitar and began.  The song
wasn't really very long, about four minutes, but for those in the
room it was like time had stood still as music caressed their
bodies and souls.  When he finished their wasn't a sound in the
room.  Jill had said Rye was brilliant but the guys had no idea
just how true those words were.  It was like they were spellbound
by the music.  Rye looked at them with his flashing eyes and saw
the looks on their faces and he smiled.

"Well did you like it?"  Rye asked.

Suddenly Nicky launched himself at Rye and wrapped his arms around
him.  "Oh Rye that was wonderful, amazing.  I can't believe it."

Nicky released him to be replaced by Mark.  "That was beautiful
Rye.  It truly was, now do me one more favor.  Sing for me."

Jill held her breath, she had not known that Mark had been going
to ask him to sing.  She watched as Rye's expression saddened.

"Your family is here with you, your old and your new.  Don't let
bad memories take away what is yours.  Take it all back Rye, take
it all back.  Sing for me,"  Mark said.  He kissed Rye gently on
the mouth and sat back and waited.

Everyone watched the internal struggle as Rye fought with old
demons.  Finally his expression changed as he looked at his lover.
He sighed and his face lit up again.  He looked around the room
at his family and turned to the portrait that was hanging proudly
in the library across from his fathers chair.

Rye then turned back to Mark and said, "Look into my eyes,
I do this for you."

Then he began to play....and sing.

               Look into my eyes - you will see
               What you mean to me
               Search your heart - search your soul
               And when you find me there you'll search no more
               Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
               You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
               You know it's true
               Everything I do - I do it for you

               Look into your heart - you will find
               There's nothin' there to hide
               Take me as I am - take my life
               I would give it all I would sacrifice
               Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
               I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
               Ya know it's true
               Everything I do - I do it for you

               There's no love - like your love
               And no other - could give more love
               There's nowhere - unless you're there
               All the time - all the way

               Ya can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
               I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
               Yeah I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
               Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

               Ya know it's true
               Everything I do - I do it for you

Jill had not even come close to the truth.  Rye was amazing on the
guitar but when he sang it was beyond beauty.  Nobody said
anything for the longest time as they continued to feel Rye's
voice long after he had stopped singing.  There was something
almost otherworldy about Rye when he sang.  Finally it was Bryan
who broke the silence.

In an awed whisper he asked, "Are you an angel?"

Rye laughed deeply and everyone in the room felt their bodies
react as goosebumps broke out across them.  Nicky and Shane closed
their eyes and shivered at the sensation.  Suddenly Mark stood up
and took Rye's hand in his.

"You guys have to all leave.  Now."  There was no doubt as to what
Mark meant and everyone got up quickly to leave.

Rye caught Shane's smile and started to say, "Mark I promised
Shane that we would...."

"Later, I need you with me right now, alone, you and I," Mark said
thickly, unable to conceal the desire in his voice.  He turned to
Shane, "Later tonight okay Shane, I promise, but not now okay?"

"Of course, I understand.  I'll be back later, just give me a call
on my cell okay," Shane said as he smiled and closed the door.

Once outside the door the five friends turned to each other with
smiles on their faces.  It was Bryan who spoke first.

"Well let's head to the club for some dancing and some fun.  It's
only just seven so we can get some drinks and start an early night
of fun.  Shane can come back up when the lovers call and we can
stay out for the rest of the night to let them all enjoy each
other."  Bryan seemed to be very comfortable with the whole share
Rye and Mark thing, almost like he was taking appointments.
Everyone found it funny, but Jill noticed that Shane was not
smiling anymore and actually had an odd look on his face.  Shane
looked scared.

- Passion Surpassed -

Mark drew Rye up the stairs to the bed and kissed him deeply.  He
moved to the side of the bed and picked up a bag he had brought up
earlier and took out two packages.  He handed one to Rye.  Rye
looked at it and saw it was a home enema.  He looked at Mark with
a little bit of surprise.

"I don't know if you are ready for it but I want you inside me
tonight so I will be back in about 10 minutes.  You can decide if
you want to do it or not but when I get back I want you to do this
to me."  Mark's voice was deep with unconcealed lust.  Rye nodded
and headed for the downstairs bathroom as Mark went to the
upstairs one.

In ten minutes both men were back and naked.

"I want this too Mark but we still have to take it slow, I don't
want us to hurt each other,"  Rye said worried that the desire
would make them move too fast.

"I know Rye.  Me first,"  Mark lay down on his stomach on the bed
and grabbed a bottle of lube from the same bag on the floor.  He
handed it to Rye and smiled at him with love.  "Start with your
fingers and we can move up from there."

Rye moved to sit on the legs of his lover and looked at Mark's
ass.  Instead of using the lube right away Rye leaned down and
spread Mark's cheek and flicked his tongue across his hole.  Mark
gasped in surprise and nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Holy shit was that what I think it was?"

"My tongue, like it?" Rye asked.

"Good god I almost came right then.  That is awesome."

"Lie back down then and enjoy."  Rye moved back to his place and
once again placed his tongue against Mark's ass.  Mark writhed in
pleasure as Rye's tongue licked over his ass and pressed into his
hole over and over again.  Suddenly without any warning Mark's
body tensed.

"Oh no," Mark said with despair.

"Did you cum sweetie?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry.  It won't take long to get you ready again.  How
about I start with my fingers now and by the time we are ready for
my cock you should be up again,"  Rye said.

Rye applied the lube to Mark's waiting hole and gently but firmly
pushed one finger into Mark.

"Does it hurt?"

"Not really, but it is only one finger.  It feels a little weird,
I don't really see how this is.... WOW!" Mark's head shot up, his
body tensed and his asshole closed tightly around Rye's finger.

"You okay?" Rye asked, frightened he had hurt Mark.

"Do that again."

"What?"

"I don't know, you did something that was incredible."

Rye moved his finger around until Mark reacted again.  Rye smiled
and wiggled his finger quickly sending Mark into ecstasy.

"Oh man, now I understand why we do this, that's incredible.  Put
another finger in Rye, I want to get to your cock soon."

"Okay but turn over, when I do this I want to be able to look at
you so let's get used to that position right off,"  Rye said.

Mark flipped over and lay down pulling his legs into the air.

"This is no good, I want to see too,"  Mark said.  He gathered the
pillows and positioned them.  Now he could see Rye as he fingered
his ass and he was much more comfortable as he held his legs high
to give Rye the access he needed.

Rye lubed up again and pushed two fingers into Mark.  Mark winced
suddenly and Rye stopped.

"Okay two fingers is a little painful," Mark said, "We are
going to have to slow it down now."

"I think that its just a matter of getting used to it.  Let me
just play for a bit and things should relax,"  Rye said.

Rye continued to gently push into Mark's ass until he felt the
muscles relax and saw Mark's eyes close in pleasure.  He withdrew
his fingers and then pushed three inside.  There was very little
resistance and Mark showed no signs of pain.  Rye smiled and moved
his fingers across the spot he had found earlier and Mark's eyes
flew open as he threw his head back and moaned loudly.

"Please Rye, do it now, I want to watch you fuck me.  You just
have to start slow."  Mark almost growled he was so ready.

Rye smiled and withdrew his fingers.  He lubed up Mark's ass and
his own cock.  He placed the head of his cock against Mark's hole
and pushed.  Mark winced and resisted.

"Try to relax a bit, its a lot bigger than my fingers."

"No shit," Mark laughed, "Just push it in quick."

"No, I know that will hurt.  There is going to be as little pain
as possible.  If that means taking a half hour to get it in that's
how we are going to do it,"  Rye stated.

"Alright, just try pushing a little harder though."

Rye nodded and pushed harder.  Mark winced and then yelped.

"That's not working.  Try pushing back against me,"  Rye
suggested.

"How will that work it will just make it tighter."

"I am not sure, I have seen it in stories I have read.  It's
supposed to make it easier,"  Rye shrugged.

Rye placed the head of his cock against Mark's hole and pushed
firmly as he felt Mark press back.  Suddenly Mark's hole opened
up and about an inch of Rye's cock entered Mark.

"It worked," Mark sounded surprised, "Keep going."

"Okay but slow, I want to see your eyes so I can tell if I am
hurting you." Rye said with concern but he could not keep the
desire from his voice.

Their eyes locked as Rye pushed slowly into Mark, stopping
whenever he saw pain reflected in Mark's eyes.  Finally he was
inside completely.  He brought Mark's legs down and around his
waist, Mark's feet resting against his ass.  He leaned forward
and kissed Mark deeply.

"Now we are going to make love,"  Rye said sexily as he continued
to kiss Mark and began to move his cock in and out.  He started
slowly, barely even moving, until he knew that Mark could take
more.  Slowly he built up a rhythm taking his cock almost three
quarters out before moving back in.

"Oh God Rye this is so great.  Keep going.  I want you to cum
inside me.  I want to cum with you inside me."  Mark's head was
now leaning back as he gave himself to the ecstasy of his first
fuck.

After a few more minutes Rye gasped and pushed one final time into
Mark and held it there as he shot several times and filled his
lover up.  Mark screamed out loud and his own body tensed as his
ass grabbed hold of Rye's cock.  Mark shot a huge load across his
chest.  They lay together for a long time, Rye collapsed against
the sticky chest of Mark, his cock still inside.  Finally they
separated and Rye pulled out.

"That was incredible," Rye said.

"For me too.  You wanta try it the other way round now?"  Mark
asked, watching Rye's eyes for any sign of hesitation.

"Yes definitely, lets get cleaned up first though."  Rye stood up
and led Mark to the bathroom where they quickly wiped cum from
various parts of their bodies.

Taking his place on the bed where Mark had been, Rye raised his
legs.  Mark lay down and placed his mouth on Rye's ass.

"You don't have to do that, you can just start with your fingers
if you want,"  Rye said then seconds later moaned loudly and
shivered in delight.

"Are you kidding, I know how this feels.  There is no way I am not
going to do this to you."  Mark continued to flick his tongue into
Rye's hole.  After several minutes Mark took the lube and gently
lubed Rye's hole.  He placed his finger against the opening and
pushed in firmly.

Rye gasped in pleasure as Mark immediately found the pleasure
spot.  Mark smiled wickedly as he wiggled his finger vigorously
making Rye moan again.

"Better stop or I will cum right now," Rye said.

"It's only fair...I came twice."  Mark continued to play using his
finger and soon Rye did indeed cum.  Mark took his finger out and
licked the cum off of Rye's chest.

After letting Rye catch his breath and calm down again, Mark
asked, "Ready for more?"

Rye nodded and smiled.

Mark lubed up his fingers and this time pushed two fingers inside
Rye.  Rye winced and Mark stopped and withdrew a bit.

"You okay?"

Rye nodded and Mark continued, eventually adding a third finger.
After several minutes Mark pulled his fingers out and lubed up his
cock.

"Just like you told me, push a bit,"  Mark whispered as he bit on
Rye's lip and then kissed him.

Mark felt a lot of resistance from Rye, then suddenly he had half
his cock buried in Rye.  He was surprised and Rye let out a small
squeal of pain.  Mark started to withdraw but Rye stopped him.
"No, just don't move for a bit til I get used to it."

After a few minutes Mark could feel Rye relax and at a nod from
Rye he pushed in more.  Soon he was all the way in.  Following
Rye's example he leaned forward and kissed his lover and began to
slowly pump Rye's asshole.

Soon he was fucking Rye hard and screaming in ecstasy.  Rye was
also screaming, but it was encouragement to Mark.  "Yes that feels
so good.  Faster Mark, fuck me faster.  Oh god yes I want you to
fill me up."

Soon Mark fulfilled Rye's wish and with a final deep stroke filled
his ass with cum as Rye shot his own load across his chest.

"Mark I love you so much and that was so incredible," Rye sighed
as he held onto his lover.

"I agree.  We have to do that way more often.  I think next time
we may actually kill Bryan,"  Mark giggled.

"Lets get cleaned up and call Shane."

"I think Shane is going to get quite the workout.  I don't know
how many more times I can cum tonight so we may just have to focus
on making him cum as many times as he can stand it,"  Mark said as
he followed Rye to the bathroom.

"I agree, let's make the night all about him okay," Rye said.

"Can he stay with us all night, I mean til the morning."

"Yes, I would like that and so will he.  I think with Shane it is
going to be different.  Bryan is gay and wants it all.  Shane, I
don't know if he is gay or not, but I think he wants the closeness
more than the animal sex.  Let's pay close attention to his
reactions.  I think we need to be extra careful with him."  Rye
said as he dialed Shane's number.

"Hi Shane.  Want to come up now?  Yeah it's okay, we took a little
longer than we expected.  Almost two hours?  Really?  Well we are
ready now.  Come up, we want you to spend the whole night with us.
Yeah till tomorrow.  Okay see ya in a couple."  Rye hung up.

- Prelude To Bliss -

Everyone turned as Shane answered his phone.

"Hi Rye.  You sure it's okay.  Yeah no kidding its been almost two
hours.  The whole night?  You mean til the morning?  Okay be right
up."  Shane hung up and looked around the table at the grinning
faces of his friends and for the first time in a long time he
blushed.

Oddly enough it was Bryan who spoke to him first.  "It's going to
be okay Shane.  They will look after you.  And they want you to
stay with them all night that just shows how much they want to be
with you.  They love you a lot so just relax and go with it.
Remember the rules and it will be okay."

"Thanks Bry, I just feel weird everyone knowing where I am going
and what I am going to do,"  Shane confessed.

"Don't be embarrassed Shane.  Bryan has already been with them and
I want my turn soon too.  This is something we all want I think.
Even if it's just a one time thing we all want to do it.  Nobody
here is judging you and we aren't going to laugh at you when you
leave.  I am damn jealous right now wishing it was me." Nicky
smiled.

"Alright then here I go," Shane said shakily, "I'm so scared
guys, if I collapse on the way across the dance floor somebody
come to pick me up okay?"

Jill realized, that even though he had said it jokingly, Shane was
serious.  He was visibly shaking and Jill feared he may actually
fall.

Jill spoke up, "Bryan, why don't you walk Shane up to the guys
then come back and join us.  I think he really does need some help
with his first few steps."  She seemed genuinely concerned about
the sudden fear Shane seemed to be showing.

"Okay sounds good."  Bryan moved out and put his arm around Shane
and led him across the dance floor.

Once they had left the table Jill turned to Kian.

"Kian about what Nicky said, that this is something you all want.
I want you to know that I expect you to take your turn with Rye
and Mark too.  And it doesn't have to be a one time thing.  If you
like being with them I will share you with them."  Jill said with
complete honesty.

"What?  No I love you."  Kian sounded shocked.

"I know you do.  And I love you.  But I also know you love Rye and
Mark and they love you too.  I want you to experience it with them
at least once.  I can't experience it because Rye can't work with
a woman.  But that's okay, it would be too weird now for us to be
together that way.  I know you and I are together now and I would
never want you to be with another woman, but like the guys have
been saying, it's not sex with Rye and Mark, it's love and beyond.
You can do it as much with them as you want and I will never be
upset or jealous."  Jill was very forceful in what she was saying.

"I'll think about it.  To be honest I have thought about it ever
since Rye brought it up.  I just assumed that since I was with you
it was out of the question," Kian answered.

"No it's not.  I can't explain it and it's going to sound really
weird but I would be disappointed if you weren't with them."

Kian looked at her oddly.

"I know, I said it was weird but its how I feel.  I think it is
because I love Rye so much and I know how much you love both him
and Mark.  It just seems right, like....."  She struggled for the
words then gave up.  "I can't explain it.  I just want you to
know that as far as I am concerned you have my permission to be
with them as much as you want and I will never be upset or
jealous okay."

"Okay hon, but for now let's just go dance."  Kian pulled her back
to the dance floor.

- A Rough Start -

Bryan could feel Shane trembling beneath his arms.  "It's going to
be okay Shane it really is."  Bryan tried to comfort his friend as
he keyed into the loft.

"I know it will be, or I think I do.  I don't know why I am so
scared."

Bryan opened the door and led Shane up the stairs.  Rye was on the
bed and Mark was coming down the hall.  Both men were naked and
seemed to be surprised that Bryan was there.

"Bry boy, I don't think we want to try more than just the three of
us right now," Rye said softly.

"No I know Rye.  Shane is really really nervous.  He needed help
getting up here, we were scared he may pass out or fall."  Bryan
caught Rye's eye and tried to make Rye understand.

Thankfully Rye understood right away.

"It's okay Shane.  We aren't going to hurt you.  You can make all
the decisions about what is done tonight.  Nobody will make a move
without you saying it's okay."  Rye was sitting up in bed.

"Shane do you want Bryan to stay with us tonight as well?" Mark
asked.

"No its okay.  You guys d d don't want it to be a group thing,"
Shane said with a slight stutter.

Now Rye and Mark could hear the fear and nervousness in Shane's
voice and their hearts hurt for their friend.

"Shane boyo,"  Rye said gently not even moving from where he sat,
he noticed that Mark had stopped and was standing in the hall,
being careful to not frighten Shane with any quick moves.  "We
want to know what *you* want, if you want Bryan to be here he can
stay.  Tonight is completely about you okay.  Now, do you want
Bry boy to stay?"

"I'll stay with you if you want me to Shane, I will do whatever
you ask of me," Bryan said.  Rye knew that Bryan was offering to
do this for Shane's sake and not for any pleasure of his own.
Suddenly it was so clear to Rye, Bryan loved Shane.

Shane thought for a bit then shook his head. "N n no it's okay.
I will b b be okay."

Bryan smiled at Rye and Mark, not understanding Shane's fear but
knowing that the lovers would make everything okay and look after
Shane.  He hugged Shane tightly and said, "It's going to be
wonderful Shane I promise.  Go as slow as you need to and remember
to tell them what you want to do and what you don't want to do.
They will love you no matter what.  You can stop at any time.
They will always love you and so will I okay?"

Shane didn't answer, couldn't answer around the fear, but he
nodded to let Bryan know he had heard him.

Bryan had never seen Shane this way.  Shane was always the one who
looked after everyone else.  But here he was absolutely terrified
of being with his two friends.  Bryan moved away slowly and left
the loft.  He had to talk to the rest of the group to let them
know that in Shane's case there was to be no teasing the next day
or even talking about it unless Shane himself brought it up.

Back upstairs Mark asked, "Shane can I come over to you?"

Shane nodded.

"Would you like us to get dressed Shane.  We can spend the night
just cuddling if you want, or start out slowly and just go as far
as you want."

"N n no its okay.  I will get undressed,"  Shane said quickly
like something was going to be taken away from him, a gift offered
then taken back when he did not respond quickly enough.  He froze
as Mark reached him and put his hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay Shane, don't be afraid.  What are you afraid of?" Mark
asked.  Both Mark and Rye were speaking softly, trying not to
spook Shane.  They were both scared that Shane was going to pass
out any second now.

"I've just never not been the one who knew what was going on.  I
have always been the leader,"  Shane said, barely a whisper.

"But that's not all is it Shane,"  Rye said.

Shane looked at Rye and if it was possible seemed to become even
more frightened.  He shook his head.

"Shane did someone hurt you?"  Rye asked.

Mark's eyes went wide and he held his breath.  Shane just stared
at Rye then broke down into tears and nodded.  Mark felt like the
world had been pulled out from under him.  Someone had hurt Shane?

Mark quickly wrapped his arms around Shane.  He felt Shane tense
under him, then relax a little as he held onto him.

"Can I hold you too Shane?" Rye asked from the bed.

Shane nodded and Rye crossed the room slowly, not making any quick
or aggressive moves, to hold Shane in his arms.  They stayed that
way for a long time until Shane's sobs subsided.

"Do you want to tell us about it?" Rye asked.

"It was a long time ago, I was 12, it only happened once.  Some
guy while I was hitchhiking.  But he hurt me so bad.  I bled for
days.  I never told anyone, I couldn't tell anyone.  I know you
would never hurt me but it just kept coming up in my mind as the
night went on.  Then you called and said I could come up, and it
just started to come crashing in on me."  Shane said panting
heavily, fear threatening to take over him again.

"Shane we love you and this is not like that time.  I am sorry
someone hurt you.  I wish I could change that but I can't.  But
we can move on.  Tonight is about love.  I love you Shane,"  Rye
said.

"So do I, I love you so much Shane," Mark added.

"We can just hold each other all night and be happy with each
other okay," Rye said.

"We can go as slow as I need right?" Shane asked.

"You will lead us," Mark answered.

"Then I want to do more.  But slow.  I want to know that it is not
about pain or hurt.  I want to know its about love and trust and
pleasure, my pleasure," Shane said, his voice a little stronger
than before.

"Okay boyo, do you want us to get dressed for now?" Rye asked.

"No, I want to get undressed."

"Would you like one of us to undress you?" Mark asked.

Shane looked up finally and Mark felt so sorry for him at that
moment.  He saw how fragile Shane was and how scared he was and he
just wanted to hold him and make it alright.  But any quick
movements or if he did anything without asking first would only
make things worse.

"Yes please.  Could you undress me Mark?"  Shane sounded so small
Mark almost broke down, instead he concentrated on putting all the
love he felt for Shane into his eyes and his smile.

Mark nodded.  He moved around the front of Shane as Rye went back
to the bed.  Mark took off Shanes shirt and dropped it to the
floor.  Then he lifted off the t-shirt to reveal Shanes chest.
Shane was hairier than the other guys.  He had hair across his
chest that thinned down to that beautiful trail that led to his
cock.

Mark turned Shane around and moved him backwards to the bed where
he gently pushed him down to sit on the edge.  He knelt down and
slowly undid Shane's shoes and removed them then took off his
socks.  He reached for the belt on Shane's pants and Shane tensed
a bit.

Mark stopped immediately and pulled his hands back.

"Sorry, its okay, go ahead," Shane whispered.

"Shane I want to show you something okay?" Rye said from the bed.

"What?"

"I want to show you how the rules work okay.  If you stand up at
the end of the bed for a minute while Mark gets in beside me we
can show you."

Shane stood and Mark carefully stepped around him and lay down on
the bed with Rye.

"I want you to practice saying stop.  Mark and I are going to
start kissing and touching each other.  At any time you can say
stop okay.  It's important for you to know you are allowed to
say stop."

Rye then leaned over and tenderly kissed Mark's lips.  Then he
moved down and flicked his tongue across Mark's nipple.

"Stop," Shane said meekly, just a whisper.

Immediately Rye pulled back and stopped.  Both he and Mark looked
at Shane and smiled encouragingly at him.  After a minute Rye went
back to kissing Mark's nipple and moved down slowly. He reached
his hand out to take Mark's penis in his hand.  He stroked it a
couple of times.

"Stop," Shane said again.

Immediately Rye removed his hand and pulled away from Mark.

"Do you understand now Shane?"  asked Mark.

"Yes."

"Do you still want help getting undressed?" Mark asked.

"Yes please."

Mark smiled and got up and undid Shane's belt and popped the fly
on Shane's jeans.  He removed the jeans and helped Shane step out
of them.  He looked at Shane and waited for a nod to continue.  He
moved his hands and gently took hold of the boxer shorts and
removed them as well.

Shane finally stood revealed to his friends.  He was fully erect
despite his fear.  He was a little smaller than the two lovers.
About 6 1/2 inches long, but he was much thicker than either of them.
His penis had a slight curve as it arced up to point at his belly.

Mark moved away and lay down on the bed.  Rye held out his hand
to Shane.

"Would you like to join us Shane.  We want you to be with us
tonight and share our love," Rye said with a smile.

Shane nodded and moved onto the bed between the two men.  He lay
back and got comfortable.  Nobody else moved.

"What would you like us to do Shane?" Mark asked.

"Can you both just hold me for awhile please," Shane whispered.

Both men moved slowly and enfolded Shane in their arms, moving
their bodies to touch Shane.  Mark moved his legs to envelop
Shane's legs and Rye did the same.  Shane sighed.

"Alright boyo?" Rye asked.

"Yes, can we stay like this for a bit?"

"As long as you want, all night if you choose," Rye answered.

So they did, they stayed like that for an hour.  Rye moved his
hand to slowly stroke and play with Shanes hair while Mark rubbed
his hand across Shane's chest.  They talked softly to each other
telling Shane how much they loved him and how brave he was.
Slowly they all lost their erections.  This was about love and
trust not sex, not yet anyway.

Finally Shane said, "Could you kiss me like you did the other day
please?"

"Of course," both Mark and Rye answered.

Rye raised himself up and looked deep into Shane's eyes.  He saw
the fear was still there but also saw the flickering of desire,
hidden by the fear, but it was there.

Shane looked back into Rye's eyes and saw only love and concern.
He wanted so much to be with his friends but he was still so
scared.  When he looked into Rye's eyes though he knew in his heart
he was safe, now if he could just convince his mind.

Rye moved forward and tenderly kissed Shane's lips.  He kissed him
again and again.  Finally Shane opened his mouth and moved his
tongue to touch Rye's lips.  Rye responded and opened his own
mouth.  Once again Shane tasted Rye.  His body was responding
again.  He could feel his cock starting to grow.  Rye pulled back
and smiled at him with nothing but love in his eyes.

Rye moved to the side as Mark bent down to kiss Shane.  Shane
opened his mouth immediately and tasted Mark.  This time a moan
escaped his lips.  Mark held the kiss for a long time.

"Last time we did this you came,"  Mark said and looked down at
Shane's erection, "Would you like for one of us to kiss you while
the other helps to get you off?"

Shane swallowed but nodded, "Could you kiss me please Rye?"

Rye smiled and leaned back in, moving his mouth to cover Shane's.
Shane was feeling wonderful.  The pleasure was pushing the fear
away.  Suddenly he felt a gentle hand touch his cock and start to
rub it and fondle it.  He moaned in pleasure and his arms came up
to hold onto Rye as they kissed.

Rye was gentle but also impassioned.  Shane was enjoying himself.
There was still fear but as long as Shane was directing them he
should be okay.  He felt Shane move his arms to hold him and he
pushed his body into Shane.  He felt the hair on Shanes chest
tickle his own chest, his nipples reacting and becoming hard.  He
broke the kiss and looked at his nipples.  Shane looked as well.

"See what you do to me Shane.  My body reacts to you.  I love you
and love the way my body feels with you."  Shane nodded, beginning
to breath heavily as Mark continued to stroke on his cock.

"Would you like me to keep kissing you or would you like me to
play with your nipples?" Rye asked.  Rye figured that by asking
in this way he could let Shane maintain control while at the same
time opening up new experiences for him.

"Could you show me what that feels like.  I can ask you to stop
right?"  Shane asked.

Suddenly Mark let go of Shane's cock.  "Are you okay Shane?" he
asked with concern.

"Yes, why?"

"You said stop,"  Mark said.

Shane actually laughed as he relaxed even more.  "I asked Rye to
play with my nipples and then asked to make sure he would stop if
I asked.  I didn't say for anyone to stop."

"Oh okay.  Do you want me to keep stroking you?  I could suck you
if you wanted?"  Mark asked, seemingly not having heard the way
Rye had asked his own question but following suit by offering
options.

"I'm not sure," Shane said, fear back in his voice, "Maybe you
could just start and...."  Shane seemed scared to continue.

Rye looked down at Mark.  "Let's stick with the hand for now.  We
have all night."  Mark nodded and moved to lay his head down on
Shane's shoulder so he could watch Rye kiss and suck and bite on
Shane's nipples.  His hand moved once again to Shane's cock and
began to slowly stroke it.  He could have done it hard and fast
and got Shane off quickly.  Shane probably would have enjoyed it,
but he wanted the pleasure to build up, to last.  Rye had been
right, this night was going to be all about Shane.  When this
night was over the fear and hurt of the past would be a dim memory
replaced by the unending love of him and Rye.  He could feel
Shane's heart beating fast and hear his breathing pick up.  It
would not be long now, he turned his face to look at Shane.  Shane
turned to look at him and moved his head to kiss Mark.  Mark
smiled and accepted the kiss, deepening it when he felt Shane's
need.  Nobody moved any faster, it was all done very slowly and
sensuously, but the moment arrived and Shane's body tensed as he
released several long streams of cum onto his body, covering all
three of them.

Then Shane started to cry.  Both Rye and Mark moved back into
their positions of just holding Shane and let him sob as they
held him close.  Eventually he calmed down.

"That was wonderful my boys," Shane smiled.  Rye and Mark smiled
back.  Both still saw fear in his eyes and knew that their night
was not over, but they had made a good start.

"It was beautiful Shane, thank you for trusting us.  Why don't we
all go to the shower and clean up.  Then we can come back to bed
and continue," Rye suggested.

"Alright."

They all got up and Mark held onto one of Shane's hands and led
him down the hall to Rye's bathroom.  Shane's other hand held onto
Rye's who followed behind.  They went into the bathroom, leaving
the door open and turned on the shower.  They all got in and
cleaned themselves off.  They took turns gently washing and then
drying each other before heading back to the bed.

- The Strength of Bryan -

Bryan walked back across the dance floor to their booth.  He got
Jill's attention as he walked across the floor and motioned for
her to follow.  Kian and Jill stopped dancing and followed Bryan
to the table.

"What's up Bry?" Jill asked seeing the worried expression on
Bryan's face.

"Not really sure.  Shane is absolutely terrified.  He was shaking
so bad I thought he might pass out.  I think maybe...."  Bryan
couldn't finish.

"Think what Bry?" Nicky asked.

"I think maybe someone did something to him sometime," Bryan
finally said.

Everyone's eyes got wide.  That thought had never occurred to
anybody before.

"He is safe with Rye and Mark though, right?" Kian asked Bryan,
knowing in his heart that Shane was perfectly safe but still
needing reassurance.

"Safer than anywhere else.  I hope they can help him.  I don't
think they realized he needed help before tonight, but I believe
they do now.  Rye will know what to do."  Bryan sounded sure.

"He will be safe," Jill nodded to confirm what Bryan said.

"Guys, Jill?"  Bryan got their attention.  He continued when they
were all looking at him.

"Absolutely no teasing Shane at all tomorrow.  In fact I don't
want anyone to even mention anything unless he brings it up,"
Bryan said with steel in his voice.

"Of course, you are right." Jill nodded as did the others.

"I mean it,"  Bryan stated, "I will kick anybody's ass who fucks
with Shane and I will absolutely not forgive you and our
friendship will be over."

Everyone looked stunned at Bryan's anger and at his statement.
He obviously meant it.

"Bryan, are you okay," Nicky asked.

"No.  Somebody hurt Shane and I wasn't there to protect him."
Bryan's fist hit the table and a single tear fell down his cheek.

"You don't know for sure that is what's wrong or if it is when it
happened.  It could have been when he was a child when you weren't
even around."  Nicky tried to calm Bryan.

Suddenly, like air escaping from a balloon, Bryan sagged into his
seat.  "I know, I just love him so much and want to be able to
protect him and help him like he has done for me so many times."
Bryan stated.  He did not notice the looks that passed between
his friends sitting at the table.

"We all love him and we will all be there for him.  But I think
that right now he is getting the best help he can get,"  Kian
said

Bryan smiled, "Yeah he is.  Things will be okay.  Maybe when he
gets okay with it we can start being with each other like that on
tour."

Jill put on her frownie face for a minute, "Guys?"

They all looked at her.

"You said that you guys have all helped each other.  Now think
before you answer.  Have you ever 'helped' Shane?" Jill asked.

The guys thought briefly but the answer was easy.  They all shook
their heads at about the same time.

"God Bryan I think you got it right.  If all you ever did on tour
was just hold each other.  I mean thats just a big brother/little
brother thing.  When it came to sex nobody was ever with him.
This may be the first real time for Shane."  Jill spelled it out
for them.

Everyone thought and slowly agreed.  Finally it was Bryan who
spoke again.  "He is in the best place he can be right now.  I
know it.  And now that we know it we can be there for him after
the lovers have fixed him."

Jill raised her glass, and everyone followed suit, "To Shane and
the lovers and the healing they will bring."

Everyone drank deeply then headed back to the dance floor, fears
and troubles forgotten.  They knew that Shane's problems were being
looked after.  They also knew that once he was 'fixed' as Bryan
called it, that Bryan was going to be there for him in other ways.

- Two Steps Forward -

The three men walked back to the bed.  Rye lay down first and
pulled Shane in beside him, snuggling close, their chests
touching.  Shane's heart was still beating fast but now more from
excitement than fear, although Rye could still see the shadows in
Shane's eyes.  Mark lay down behind Shane and pulled himself in
close.

The effect was immediate.

"STOP!" screamed Shane and shot off the bed and into the corner
whimpering, covering his backside with his hands.  Rye was beside
him in a second but Mark was devastated.

"I'm sorry Shane, I didn't think, I'm sorry," Mark cried from the
bed but he did not move to Shane who was trembling violently, his
eyes wide with fear.

Then Mark saw for the first time the true power of Rye's voice.
Rye slipped easily into an irish brogue and broke through the fear
that had taken hold of Shane.  Broke through and captured him.

"Ah me boyo, you be shaking like a leaf in a storm.  Don't be
afeared of the storm, cuz me and my fella we be the shelter from
the blowin wind and we be the rock the waves break against.  Twas
only an accidental thing happened and my fella be all teary now
and beggin forgivin.  Come back with me to the safety.  Come back
to us Shane and love us."  Rye gently lifted Shane and pulled him
back to the bed, laying him gently between him and Mark.  Once
again he pulled Shane to him, their chests touching, and nodded to
the also mesmerized Mark who once again moved in behind Shane and
held him close.  Shane tensed briefly but then relaxed as the
almost visible aura of love from the two men surrounded him.  He
released his fear and passed out from exhaustion.  The two lovers,
both with tears in their eyes, continued to hold onto him.  Two
steps forward, one step back, a giant leap forward.

It was only a short time before Shane woke up and felt the two
bodies pressed against him.  One slowly stroking his hair and the
other gently placing kisses on his neck and shoulders.  He could
feel Mark behind him his semi erect penis pressed tightly against
his ass but he realized he was not trying to enter him.  He
understood that Mark just wanted to be as close as possible.
Bryan had mentioned this at the market when he was describing
being with the lovers.  He sighed deeply letting go of the last
of the fear and letting the two men know he was awake again.

"Better me boyo?" Mark asked.

"Yes.  I'm sorry about that."

"Nothing for you to apologize for.  It's my fault," Mark's voice
saddened.

Before Shane could respond Rye spoke, "It is not the fault of
anyone here tonight, and it is passed.  We forget it and work on
the rest of the night."

Both men nodded.  Mark's hands were now exploring Shane and running
up and down his body sending little jolts of pleasure through
Shane.

"Shane we would both like to show you how it feels to be sucked.
Is that okay?"  Rye asked.

Shane smiled and nodded.  There was no hesitation.  Rye smiled
back and Mark moved away a bit as Shane was rolled over to lay on
his back.  Mark leaned over and kissed him gently on the mouth
then quickly moved down to his nipples.  Rye scooted down and took
Shane's cock in his hand and then quickly licked the head around
once and then took it into his mouth.  Shane's body tensed with
pleasure as the lovers quickly brought him to the edge and over.
He shot several times and Rye took them all.

Shane lay gasping for air as Rye came back up and lay beside him.

"Okay me boyo?"

"Fine, I have just never felt anything like that."  Shane smiled
then looked at Rye.  "Can I try you now?"

Rye's eyes raised in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, but like Bryan someone will have to show me how, I wasn't
paying any attention."

"Come on down then," said Mark as he quickly moved to the other
side of Rye.  The bandmates moved down so that Rye's cock was
between them.

Oddly, it was Shane who moved first as he gently took hold of
Rye's cock.  "What do I do?"

Mark smiled and placed his hand on Shane's.  Lifting Rye's cock
into a more upright position he leaned forward and flicked his
tongue across the head.  Rye moaned.  Shane looked up into the
eyes of Rye and saw him smile, he smiled back.  Looking back at
Mark he flicked his own tongue out and touched the head of Rye's
cock.  Mark leaned in to do it again but Shane did not pull back
and so the two men's tongues licked and played against Rye's cock
and with each other.  Rye was in ecstasy.

Mark began to suck on the shaft and Shane soon followed suit.  The
two were sharing Rye's cock like it was a prize that neither
wanted to give up.  They were lost in their fun until Rye's voice,
husky with desire broke into their game, "I am gonna cum real soon
guys."

"Can I be the one to taste him?" Shane asked, almost begging Mark.

Mark nodded as he leaned down to suck on Rye's balls.  Shane
slipped his lips over Rye's head and sucked gently on the head.
It was only a matter of moments before Rye's body tensed and he
filled Shane's mouth who swallowed every drop before it filled
again.  Rye shot several times and Shane took it all.

After the men had moved back up to lay their heads on Rye's chest
Rye finally manage to speak.  "That was incredible guys, we have
to show that to Bryan."

They lay there for a few more minutes before Shane said, "Can we
do it to Mark now?"

In answer, Rye moved down and took his place on one side of Mark.
The game was played again.  Shane and Rye's tongues played as much
with each other as with Mark's dick but the experience for all
concerned was awesome.  Once again it was Shane who took the load.
Breathing heavily they lay their heads down on Mark's chest as he
recovered.

After a much longer recovery time Mark finally said, "Boyo, do you
think you can cum again cuz I want my turn tasting you."

In answer Shane moved in between the two men and giggled.  "I was
afraid nobody was going to ask."

"Boyo you don't have to wait for us to ask, this is about all of
us, the three of us, you are allowed to ask for what you want."
Rye said gently.

Shane nodded that he understood and closed his eyes as Rye once
again took over his nipples while Mark slipped down to love his
cock.

It was about ten minutes but eventually Shane came for the third
time that night.

"I think I am done for the night guys,"  Shane eventually said.
His voice was sleepy and between the fear and the sex he was
exhausted.

"You know Shane there is one step further we could take.  Mark
and I have already taken that step and we would be very gentle."
Rye suggested as he watched Shane's eyes.

Mark couldn't believe Rye was suggesting that they could fuck.

Shane answered Rye's suggestion without any fear in his eyes.
"Not tonight, besides you promised Bryan he could be first.  But
not never.  You have done enough for me tonight and the fear is
gone.  We will do the other, I want to, but not tonight."

Rye smiled, he had figured that Shane would say no, but he wanted
to see the reaction, wanted to check for any fear left behind.
He saw that Shane was okay and that was all he really needed.  He
probably wasn't totally okay yet, but it was a great start.

Rye got out of bed and grabbed the cell from Shane's pants.
"Gonna let them know its safe to come back now."

"Rye?" Shane got his attention.

"Yeah?"

"Could you please let them know about, you know, so I don't have
to tell them?"  Shane's eyes pleaded.

"Of course boyo, anything for you," Rye caught Mark's eyes as
they shone brightly with love for both him and Shane.

"Bry boy it's Rye.  We are finished for the night and going to
sleep.  You can come back whenever you want.  Listen Bryan I am
going to tell you something and you can tell the others okay.
Shane wants me to tell you, because he feels he can't.

"When Shane was 12 and hitchhiking someone picked him up and hurt
him very very bad.  He was never able to tell anyone about it.
Tonight all the bad memories resurfaced and it took a long time
for him to get over it all.  But he is better now.

"We will probably wake up when you guys get in but we won't come
down.  If anyone wants to come up and say hi or just talk in our
bed that's cool.

"Okay seeya later my boy.  By the way Bry.....you did real good
tonight.  We are all proud of you, I am proud of you.

- Bryan -

Bryan flipped open his cell phone.

"Hey Rye."

Bryan listened for a bit then his face clouded and tears came from
his eyes but he continued to nod and say "yeah" and "okay".  Then
in a flash his face lit up like he had just won the lottery.

"Really Rye?"

"Thank you."

He flipped off his cell and looked at the expectant faces.

"First off they are done.  They are going to sleep now but we can
go up and see them when we get in if we want.  Second, we were
right.  Shane was raped when he was 12 but was never able to tell
anyone."  Bryan's eyes clouded a bit but then he smiled again.

"They fixed him."

The others waited and once again saw Bryan's face light up.

"Rye said that I did good and that he was proud of me."

Everyone smiled and reached out to touch Bryan.  Rye meant so much
to Bryan and these words had put him on cloud 9.  They all got up
and went to the dance floor.  They felt like closing the place
down tonight.  So it was very late when they got in.

Everyone wanted to go upstairs.  Bryan was first and he looked to
see if they were awake or not.  Shane was in between the two
lovers, Mark's legs wrapped around Shane.  They were all awake.

"Bry boy," Rye smiled, "You did so good tonight."

"Better than you know," Jill said as she came in and sat on the
bed.  The others followed suit placing themselves around the bed.
"He actually had figured out what was wrong.  You should have seen
him.  He threatened an ass kicking to anyone who teased Shane and
said he would never forgive the person who did it."

"Bryan, you said that for me?"  Shane asked in wonder.

Bryan blushed deeply but nodded.

"Good work my boy," Mark smiled.

"How about someone grab the mattress off Jill's bed and we all
sleep in here tonight.  Bryan in with us and the rest on the
other," Rye said.

"Sounds good."  Jill and Kian got up to haul the mattress in.

"I'll run and get changed," Nicky said.

"I can be with you guys?  But I thought it was Shane's special
time," Bryan said, obviously wanting to be with them but not
wanting to deprive Shane of anything.

"Bry boy come in and be with me okay," Shane whispered.

Quick as a flash Bryan stripped down to boxers and climbed in
between Shane and Mark.  Shane smiled and giggled and held onto
Bryan.  Then with a quick movement removed Bryan's boxers and
tossed them onto the floor.  Bryan was surprised but not as much
as when Shane took his face in his hands and kissed him deeply
then moved his hand down and gently caressed Bryan's cock.  Bryan
was shocked but pleased, and after a moment tenderly took Shane
into his arms and held him.  They did nothing else but hold each
other but for now it was enough and Bryan was in heaven.

The others came back in, Nicky in sleep pants, Jill in a pair of
Kian's boxers and tee and Kian in the same.  The three climbed onto
the mattress, both Nicky and Kian snuggling up to Jill.  Kian
raised his eyebrows briefly but then smiled and laid back down.
Someone shut the lights off and the night closed in around them.

After a few minutes Jill asked, "Rye, would you sing for us again?"

Moments later Rye sang softly into the night;

               Over in Killarney
               Many years ago,
               My mother sang a song to me
               In tones so sweet and low.
               Just a simple little ditty,
               In her good old Irish way,
               And I'd give the world if she could sing
               That song for me today.

               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               Hush now, don't you cry!

               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               That's an Irish lullaby.

               Oft in dreams I wander
               To that cot again,
               I feel her arms a-huggin' me
               As when she held me then.
               And I hear her voice a-hummin'
               To me as in days of yore,
               When she used to rock me fast asleep
               Outside our cottage door.

               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               Hush, now don't you cry!

               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
               Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
               That's an Irish lullaby.


He smiled as he finished and heard the soft breathing of the
others in the room.  Looking across at Mark he saw the light
reflecting on the tears in his lovers eyes.

"I love you fella," Rye said softly.

"I love you too fella,"  Mark whispered back.

Soon the soft sounds of sleep were joined by two more as the
lovers slipped into slumber.
