David was silent at first as the full impact of Frodo's words struck
him. Just a while ago he had begun to think of this place as home and now
he was being told that it was. He still feared that this would all fall
apart in time but he decided not to press the issue and to simply enjoy
what he could.

The three friends sat and enjoyed the meal, realizing for the first time
that a new family had been created right before their eyes.

******

Over the next several days the new family began to fall into a good and
happy routine. Frodo had sent word to Merry and Pip telling them that the
plans to meet should be delayed for a few days. During this same time they
also got some unhappy news from Rose Gamgee, her grandfather had taken ill
and she would have to stay for far longer than originally planned. It would
be months rather than weeks before she and the baby came home again.

As the days moved along the three new friends began to explore their new
relationship. Sam and Frodo were careful not to move too quickly. As much
as they wanted to go as far as possible they knew it was necessary to take
time. There was something that David hadn't told them, some part of his
story that remained hidden from them yet they could see it in his eyes, in
his unspoken fears. They knew they would have to wait until he was ready.

It was just after lunch on the day that Merry and Pip were finally going to
make their visit. The three friends were doing the lunch dishes although
not a whole lot of work was getting done. They were in a playful mood and
splashed each other with suds and water, sharing kisses and tender
touches. They joked and laughed with each other as they worked.

Sam moved up behind David and wrapped his arms around his body. He pulled
tightly until he could feel the folds of David's firm posterior resting
tightly against his own increasingly damp crotch. He wasn't sure how much
of the dampness was due to the soap and how much was due to lust, but he
didn't care. Every part of his body seemed to be on fire and he had the
greatest urge to tear the clothing away and thrust himself deeply into this
wonderful person.

His thoughts drifted to his beloved Rose. Whenever he held Rose like this
they usually ended up romping in bed for the better part of a day. He
recalled that one particular romp had led to the birth of his beloved
child. He laughed inwardly as a ridiculous thought crossed his mind. He saw
himself releasing his seed deep inside David, making him pregnant with
child. He knew it was not possible but he couldn't resist the thought.

His thoughts were interrupted as David finally moved forward to place a
dish on the counter. He sighed as he realized how much he did miss
Rose. From time to time he needed to go back to his own house to sleep and
he felt this would be one of those evenings.

Frodo was watching the two embrace and recalled what it was like to have
Sam hold him in those strong and secure arms. He always felt protected and
safe. He only hoped David would feel the same. He also knew what was going
through Sam's mind as he saw that wistful look and he expected Sam would be
spending the night at home.

Sam moved into the other room to prepare for Merry and Pip to arrive. Frodo
took this moment to move over and speak to David.

"Sam is missing his Rose, so I think we should be kind with him and let him
go as he pleases."

"Of course. I would never want to do anything to upset Sam. He's so warm
and strong," said David

Frodo smiled as he knew Sam had captured yet another heart.

"Perhaps we can spend some time together," said David .

"I'd like that, I'd like that very much" Frodo smiled. Like Sam he had
lusted after David for days and wanted nothing more that to bury himself in
this wonderful person. But he needed to be patient and gentle with this
very vulnerable friend. But that didn't mean he would remain chaste either.

Frodo moved over to David and rubbed the side of his face. David responded
in kind, and the two carefully explored each other. Kisses began gently but
soon deepened in both intensity and firmness. Soon they were sharing deep,
sensual kisses, exploring every part of their mouths with abandon. If this
didn't stop soon then Frodo might find himself flung across the dining
table.

They were interrupted by noise from the other room. Merry and Pip had
arrived.

As Frodo led David into the room it occurred to him that this was quite an
influential group. Ever since their return from the quest they had each
obtained a level of influence within both the Shire and especially within
their own clans. Between the Tooks, Bradybucks, Baggins and Gamgees they
held sway over just about every person in the entire region.

David smiled and extended a hand of greeting to the new arrivals.

"Finally we get to meet" said Pip

"Yeah, now the classy part of the group has arrived," quipped Merry .

The group spent the next hour or so getting to know each other and it
seemed like in a matter of minutes the tightly bonded group of four that
had been formed and the quest was now a group of five. David seemed to fit
into their friendship like he had been there all the time. Eventually the
talk turned serious as David agreed to tell them his whole story.

"Well as you all can tell I'm very small for a human and my family and
their friends always thought of me as being sort of a freak, a partial
person. From what I understand there was a serious idea of just letting me
die but they decided that I could do better as a worker. So by the time I
was old enough to walk I was cleaning, cooking, washing. When I was very
little I got to sleep on the kitchen floor but eventually I was sent to
live in the barn with the animals."

"Sounds like they treated you more like an animal, the scum" Pip blurted
out.

"Yeah, that or a slave. Lousy buggers" injected Merry

"Quiet you two. Let him speak." Sam glared at the two outraged hobbits.

"It's ok, they didn't treat me right" said David

"Anyway, as I got older they started renting me out to the locals. To do
whatever work was needed. During the harvest time I was working all of the
time. There were lots of burrows that needed to be cleared out and I was
small enough to creep under the thorns and thickets to get the hard to
reach berries. Most of the time I was covered in muck, full of cuts and
bruises. The only time I got to clean up was when I dove in the river. Some
nights I slept there."

The room was silent as David went on.

"Once I was old enough, they sent me away for months at a time. Funny thing
was that most of the time those who hired me treated me better than my
family. Not that they treated me well, but it was better. That is until I
met them..."

David paused and winced slightly.

"It was a family of brothers, five of them. I couldn't figure out why they
hired me. They were all big and strong, what could I do. But they were also
dirty and sick with diseases. Illnesses that kept women away. So they used
me. Over and over every night, they did things to me. I got sick with all
of their diseases but they kept using me. Luckily I was able to learn how
to treat sickness so I was able to get better. But it lasted for three
summers. Until I finally ran away."

Sam gave Frodo a sad look as they realized what David had been through.

"For a while I was ok on my own. I had to take lots of jobs and from time
to time I had to sell the only thing I had, my own body. But most of the
time I was able to work and take care of things ok. I actually did pretty
well for myself. Then came the time when I met him"

David paused again and let out a sob. The friends comforted him and told
him to take his time as he related the rest of the story.

*****

Meanwhile the letters dispatched by Frodo had begun to arrive and were
being read by their recipients.

Gimli was angry. Well to one degree or another Gimli was almost always
angry or upset or in the mood for a fight. It was the nature of dwarves to
be that way. But right now he was angry for a reason. Ever since they
embarked together on the great quest the members of the fellowship had been
family. Frodo and his fellow hobbits were like brothers or sons to him and
he was fiercely loyal to them. Any friend of theirs was a friend of
his. And this David seemed especially worthy of protection. Who knew what
evils had been done to this poor young man.

If he'd had his hearts desire Gimli would have set out to kill anyone who
might hurt David or the hobbits. But there were limits to what he could
reasonably do. So he called together his fellow dwarves and sent word out
for to be on the look for any strange humans. Especially any who seemed to
be looking for someone. They would be tracked and investigated. He also
instructed the border guards nearest the Shire to be especially careful. He
wished he could join in on the hunt himself but the duties of a leader were
many and he had much to do.

He instructed that copies of all his orders be dispatched to Frodo so he
would know what was going on.

****

His most Royal Majesty King Aragorn sat at his desk reviewing the message
from his little friends in the Shire. Inside he seethed with anger as he
read what had happened to one of his subjects. Or at least he assumed David
was one of his subjects as most humans did fall under the rule or influence
of Gondor. He was also angry because most of these things, slavery, rape,
prostitution were already illegal. But making and enforcing laws were two
different things. A distant magistrate or sheriff might not be as strict as
Aragorn would like. And many who would want to enforce the laws simply
didn't have the manpower to control all of the territory in their domain.

But there were things that could be done. Laws were laws but specific
decrees from the King himself seemed to have a somewhat greater impact. He
called for his royal advisor and began to issue a series of documents. The
first restated the laws regarding the illegality of slavery and sexual
crimes. It imposed even more serious penalties and also offered bounties
for those who caught wrongdoers and punished those who deliberately avoided
crimes.

The next three documents related specifically to David. The first declared
David to be free from all bondage and control, it also liberated him from
the control of his family, making him completely free, regardless of the
conditions of his bondage. Even if a contract held him it would be declared
free.

The second declared him to be under the official protection of the
King. This meant that not only was David completely free but that if anyone
harmed him they would be committing an act of treason punishable by
death. The third stated that if those who had wronged David were caught
that any and all of their possessions would become David's.

Aragorn ordered copies of all the decrees sent to all of his magistrates,
as well as to Frodo. He ordered everyone to be on the watch for those who
had done wrong. He didn't know for sure who had done these things to David
but there were several people known for doing these kinds of things.

He mused that whoever had done these things had made a big
mistake. Incurring the wrath of the King was not a wise thing to do.

****

Legolas stood on the balcony looking out over the spectacular realm of
Rivendell below. As he gazed downward his eyes flared and his hair flowed
with the breeze. He smiled to himself as he realized he was striking what
Sam had taken to calling the 'heroic pose'. At the time he had pretended to
be annoyed at the term but the truth was he liked it. He knew that this
pose gave him an almost ethereal look and he knew how it could affect
people. More specifically he came to recognize how much it turned Sam on
and he used that knowledge to his advantage. Frodo was more impacted by
tender touches and so Legolas used those as well.

His mind drifted as he remembered the evenings with Sam and Frodo, evenings
that would begin with light touches and end in passion with bodies
intertwined. He knew his lovemaking had healing properties and he used them
to help the injured hobbits, but several times it had simply been a matter
of passion and lust as he drove himself into Frodo or commanded Sam to do
the same to him. He wasn't sure if David had become involved with Sam or
Frodo but he knew it was likely. He considered the idea that the four of
them might share some passion and the idea was quite appealing.

His thoughts were interrupted as he returned to the problem of the
present. David sounded like the many humans he had seen and wept for. The
ability of one being to hurt another never ceased to amaze him. He knew he
had to do something but his abilities were limited. He had no influence
over the Shire and while the Elves had fought against evil in the quest
they were not often willing to fight for a human.

But they would protect him and they would keep evil out of the Shire. He
sent orders out to have everyone keep a watch for strangers and for the
sense of danger. The Shire was to be protected and evil was to be
stopped. As for himself he would head to Hobbiton itself to act as a
protector not only of David but also of all the Hobbits.

He sent a message to let Frodo know the measures he had taken but not that
he was coming. It was best if nobody knew what was going on.

******

"His name was Kevin"

Back at Bags End David was finally ready to continue. They had sat in
silence for a while as he gathered his strength.

"His name was Kevin and he seemed to be my salvation. He found me on the
streets and took me in to protect me. He saw to it that I got medical care
and lots of food. For weeks he did nothing but take care of me and he made
me stay in bed. It was the first time in ages that being in someone's bed
was a good thing. He also encouraged me to read. I loved to read and learn
but nobody ever let me"

The four Hobbits sat listening, knowing that this happy tale had a bad
ending.

"Eventually he started taking me out on trips. We went to see things and to
watch plays and shows. He took me to places I'd only heard of, places like
the realm of the Elves and the great valley of Korum. It was amazing."

"He even got me fancy new clothes and had my hair styled and made sure I
got to bathe every day. I felt like a new man and I felt loved. He kept
telling me that he was preparing me for a new adventure. I'd heard before
that sometimes men got married and I was sure that this was what he had in
mind," David said wistfully.

"One day we went to a new town and he did everything for me. New hairdo,
new clothes, he had me exercising and my body was in great shape. We went
to dinners at the local inn and he introduced me to his new friends. They
all made such a fuss over me. I felt like a king or something. After a few
days of this he told me that it was finally the night so I should really
fix myself up. I was sure he was going to ask me to marry him."

Everyone in the room tensed as they knew something bad was going to happen
now.

"During dinner he served me what he called a special drink. I thought it
was something to celebrate with but it tasted funny and I started to feel
weird. Then things went dark and I passed out. When I woke up I was tied to
a bed and I felt all sticky. I knew people had been with me. Kevin was gone
and when I asked the people just laughed."

"It hurt so much when I understood," David stammered, blinking back tears.

"He. He... He.. Sold me... The man I thought was my love he... he SOLD
ME. How could he do that !! All of the work was just to make me into
a... a... a... into a high priced whore. Oh he SOLD ME like a hunk of
meat..."

David now broke down in complete agony and the four hobbits moved forward
to comfort him. For the next several hours they each held him and spoke to
him with soft gentle tones. Eventually they began to move out of the room,
first Pip, then Merry and finally Sam. Before he left Sam made some
necessary preparations for the evening David and Frodo would spend.

Once they were alone Frodo continued to comfort David until he was
completely calmed. He still shivered however, overcome by the effort of
telling his story. Frodo wiped his face and smiled at him.

"Let's go get you cleaned up" he said.

They walked to the bathing room where Sam had prepared things. The tub was
filled with hot water and bubbles, the room was scented and full of
steam. On a nearby table there were pajamas and robes. Frodo gently
undressed David and led him to the tub. He helped him in and allowed David
to soak for a few moments while he stripped down to his underwear, knowing
that he was likely to get wet.

He began to carefully bathe David, soaping every part of his body, rubbing
and massaging the tired muscles. He particularly enjoyed feeling the power
of David's strong chest and upper body. Thanks to a few days of gentle care
and some healing herbs, David's body was nearly healed, the welts and scars
beginning to disappear.

He tried to steer a careful line between sensuality and loving care. When
he reached the crotch area he gently washed each of David's large balls,
holding them with a soft touch. He massaged the equally large penis but was
careful not to go too far. David should not be made to feel like he was
being used again. As he moved up the back and to the shoulders he leaned
over David and offered soft and tender kisses which were eagerly received.

As Frodo neared the end he had to lean over the tub to wash David's face
and hair. As he did David got an impish look on his face and pulled Frodo
into the tub. The two thrashed around the tub, Frodo's nearly naked body
pressing down on David's completely naked one. They laughed and Frodo was
happy to see that David seemed to be much better.

Frodo climbed out of the tub, removing his now sopping wet underwear. He
dried himself quickly and then helped David out of the tub. He then dried
David and tried to make things as pleasant as he could for his new friend,
rubbing each part of the body in a sensual embrace.

He stood to face David and was surprised when the young man reached forward
to cup his face. David then offered a kiss that quickly deepened into one
of the most erotic Frodo had ever experienced. Tongues dueled for control
of each other's mouth as hands worked all over each other's body. Frodo
explored every inch of David's upper body while David drowned himself in
Frodo's deep blue eyes. He carded his fingers through Frodo's brunette
locks as he gave himself fully to the experience.

Unable to resist any longer, Frodo reached down and began to stroke David's
throbbing penis. He was thrilled when David returned the favor, running his
hands around the pulsating balls and rod between Frodo's legs. Each of them
was rock hard, and it wouldn't take long for them to reach
completion. Frodo tried to say something to warn David. As a rule Hobbits
experienced orgasms that were larger than the average humans. In Frodo's
case he had abstained for some time and so he knew his load would be large.

But before he could say anything he felt the waves of pleasure begin to
overtake him as David intently focused on his efforts. He bent over and
began to kiss the head of Frodo's penis and that was enough. Frodo grunted
and then screamed David's name. He erupted with wave after wave that poured
out and struck David directly in the face and shoulders. Frodo counted more
than a dozen large spurts and nearly as many smaller ones before he was
done.

David's face was coated in warm hobbit seed that flowed onto his shoulders
and down his body until it mixed with his own copious pre-cum, coating his
own penis in Frodo's essence.

Frodo decided to return the favor and swapped places with David, making him
stand while Frodo bent over, engulfing the penis in his mouth. It was odd
as he could taste his own sperm coating David's sex. But that wouldn't last
long as David quickly tensed under Frodo's frantic sucking motions. He
moaned and clutched Frodo's hair as he too reached completion.

Frodo was surprised at what happened next. David experienced what seemed to
be an almost endless orgasm. Although he only experienced 6 or 7 spurts,
each seemed to last 30 seconds or more, and Frodo could not manage it
all. He moved back and felt himself being sprayed with the human's warm
essence.

The two stood there for a while, overcome by the moment. They then
carefully cleaned themselves off and put on the robes, leaving the pajamas
where they lay.

Frodo led David to the large bed that he and Sam often shared. He removed
the robe and tucked David in before joining him. He held the young man in
his arms, pressing his head to his chest. David drifted off to the warmth
of Frodo's body and the comfort of his heartbeat. The two slept late the
next morning, content in their own union.
