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:  Lots of crying in this chapter too.  I have
decided I will no longer respond to emails saying I make the
boys cry too much.  I have warned earlier that there is a lot
of that emotional stuff and the reasons behind it.  Again if
don't like it then stop reading.  This chapter is my personal
favourite.  I think that this chapter better than any other
shows the absolute unswerving love and friendship the seven
people show for each other.

Dedication:  This chapter I dedicate to my own lost love.
I miss you every day.  Love you forever my true angel.

- Plans For The Day -

The people inside the cabin were sitting and talking but none of
them even tried to hide the fact they were watching the trio on
the dock.  The seating was a little odd, Rye sat on the couch with
Mark on the floor between his legs.  Kian however was on one side
of Rye with Jill on the other and Kian was holding Rye like a
lover would.  Everybody felt Rye tense as the three men on the
dock stood and began to walk to the house.

"It will be okay angel, I promise,"  Kian whispered softly into
Rye's neck.

"Kian is right hon, it's going to be perfect you'll see,"  Jill
also whispered it softly into Rye's ear as she snuggled closely.

As the trio entered the room they took in the sight before them
and it struck them immediately that the seating arrangement was to
comfort Rye.  Their hearts contracted as they realized how fragile
Rye could be and how much they loved him.  They moved forward and
Jill, Kian and Mark moved away to be replaced by the trio.  Shane
moved to Jill's place and wrapped his arms around Rye's waist.
Nicky took Kian's place and snuggled in closely placing a small
kiss on Rye's neck.  Bryan sat between Rye's legs but not with his
back to him as Mark had been, instead sitting facing him, placing
his head between Rye's thighs and looking adoringly into Rye's
eyes.

"First things first angel, nothing has changed in our relationship
or our sharing with you and Mark.  That was the very first thing
we talked about and we all felt the same way.  There is no way we
are going to lose that,"  Nicky said.

Rye let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding and
fought to keep the tears back but they came anyways.  The trio
held him closely and let him cry, while on the other sofa Jill and
Kian hugged and held Mark who was also softly crying, whether from
the announcement or the affect it had on Rye was unclear.  Finally
Rye took a deep breath and relaxed.

"I'm sorry my boys, I know you all love me, but your relationship
is so new I thought that if you continued to be with us it might
make you feel strange and you would stop.  I was ready to give you
up for your happiness but it was breaking my heart," Rye confessed.

"Rye we understand.  We all felt the same, ready to give up what
we had to be with you and Mark.  So let's go over the rest of the
rules we came up with," Shane said as he rubbed his hand across
Rye's belly in a comforting gesture.

"Okay well I guess we can leave you to it then," Kian said rising.

"No you stay too please.  I mean we want you to hear this too, it
concerns you as well," Bryan said.

Kian sat back down looking a little confused.

"Okay basically we have decided that the three of us will only do
the oral and anal stuff when its all three of us.  When one of us
is going to be with the lovers then the other two will just hold
each other and do like on tour.  That way nobody can get jealous
or feel left out.  But like we said, nothing has changed and the
person sharing with the lovers can share it all including the
sucking and the ass stuff.  We all agreed to that so nobody has to
worry about it feeling like cheating,"  Nicky said.

Shane nodded and continued, "On tour we do things the same.  There
will be times when one of us wants to be with Mark or Kian and so
that is allowed, same as before.  The other two give up the oral
and anal when the third isn't there."

"You guys will still be with me?" Kian asked surprised.

Bryan smiled and scooted over to rest his head against Kian's
legs.  "Of course sweets you are our brother and we love you.  We
aren't going to give you up either.  Just like before.  I for one
love being able to hold you and kiss you.  And I don't want to
make my new lovers mad but honestly you give the best hand job
ever.  I have something new I want to show you that Mark taught
me, I bet you will be awesome at it."

Everyone laughed and Kian blushed but placed his hand on Bryan's
head and stroked it gently.  "Thank you Bry boy, I love you too."

"The other thing we want to start doing on tour is for us all.  To
keep us close so that none of our new relationships interfere with
our old bonds.  Each night an hour or so before its time to head
to bed, we will all gather on one bed and just hold each other.
No fooling around, just sharing our love.  None of us want to lose
anything," Shane said.

Everyone nodded.

"This has gone so much better than I expected.  I am so happy I
could just pee," Mark laughed.

"Eeww gross," Bryan giggled and leaned over to nip Mark's leg.

"Okay guys lets plan the day, but just so everyone knows there is
a storm coming in tonight so lets avoid walks that will take us
far away from the cabin.  Not sure how fast it's moving but I
don't want anyone out too far when it hits because it's still not
clear how big it's going  to be,"  Rye said.

Kian leaned over to whisper into Jill's ear who nodded and smiled.
Kian turned to the group and asked, "Would it be alright if Rye
and Mark and I just sort of hang out today, not for fooling around
or sharing, just to be together?" Kian blushed deeply and dropped
his gaze.

"Okay so that's us three taken care of, I know what we can do.
What about the rest of you?" Rye asked.

"Let's do the trail on the four wheelers, two to a bike.  We can
do the trail in a few hours and should be safe," Jill suggested.

Everyone got up and left to get themselves ready.  Mark and Rye
stayed behind and moved to an embrace.

"Okay my angel?" Mark whispered softly.

"Yes, you were right I should have known better," Rye said.

"It's okay, I was scared too.  But I knew that even if they had
stopped sharing, the love the two of us have would have carried
us through," Mark said.

Rye moved his hand up under Mark's shirt and placed his hand over
Mark's heart.  He could feel the beating of his heart.  Mark
copied Rye's actions and did the same.  The two men leaned forward
and touched their heads together just feeling the other's heartbeat.
After a few minutes they could feel their hearts begin to beat
together, in sync.  They closed their eyes and began to lose
themselves in their love.

"Love you like no other my angel," Mark barely whispered.

"You are my life my fella," Rye responded.

They stayed this way for some time, not noticing the group behind
them witnessing this event.  Finally, wanting to share somehow in
this moment Bryan then Nicky moved forward and stood beside the
lovers.  They held hands and closed their eyes.  The others quickly
followed suit and soon a circle was formed around the lovers.  All
holding hands but not touching the lovers.  Sharing in their love.

Finally the lovers separated and looked at their friends.  They
knew they were there, they had felt their presence as they had
formed the circle around them.  For a long time nobody said
anything.  Then Rye smiled and laughed out loud.  It was a clear
laugh that touched everybody's soul.  Everyone reacted the same
and they all felt suddenly happier, more free, as if their spirit
had been cleansed.

Rye took hold of Mark's hand then Nicky's.  "Let's go my boys," he
said as he walked out of the front door, Mark grabbing a blanket
as they left.

- Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me -

"That was amazing," Shane said as the door closed.

"I have never felt anything like that.  You could feel their love.
I mean you could right?"  Jill asked the others to see if they had
felt it.

"Yeah," Nicky said, he had wanted to say something more profound
but words had failed him.

"Would you guys mind if Nicky and I just hung around here, shoot
some pool or something?" Shane asked.

"No that's fine, come on Jill that means a bike each," Bryan said
as he took Jill's hand.  Bryan stopped and looked at their joined
hands then looked at Jill to make sure it was okay.

"Oh Bry boy you are so cute," Jill laughed and kissed him on the
lips.

"Eeww girl cooties," Bryan laughed and pulled her behind him to
the garage, Jill laughing sweetly as she followed her friend.

As the door closed Nicky turned to Shane.  "Alone together at
last," he laughed.

"Yeah.  I'm so happy you are with us Nicky.  I wanted some time
to be together to cuddle and stuff.  Bryan and I have had a chance
to be alone together and I just wanted to be with you too.  If
that's alright I mean.  We can still shoot pool or whatever if you
don't want...."  Shane didn't finish his sentence as Nicky's mouth
covered his.  The two kissed passionately.

"No oral or anal but this is in the rules right?"  Nicky asked
after they separated.

"Yeah," Shane said breathlessly.

"You sort of lied to Bryan, we can't do that.  If two of us want
to be together to just hold each other we should be able to say it
out loud.  Bryan won't be mad, none of us would, but we can't keep
anything from each other from now on okay boyo," Nicky said.

Shane nodded.  He hadn't thought of that.  His face fell a bit as
he realized what he had done.  Nicky saw this and kissed him again.

"Don't worry Shane, it's a little thing,"  this expression of Rye's
had quickly been adopted and used by all the boys, "just for future
so we are all extra careful about each other's feelings.  Now where
should we go to cuddle and kiss?"

Here Nicky placed a kiss on Shane's lips.

"And snuggle and kiss," again a kiss.

"And rub and kiss,"  another kiss.

"And stroke and kiss,"  Nicky giggled as he kissed Shane again.

Shane laughed, "Let's go to the bedroom.  Do you think you may
want to kiss me a bit?"

They walked to the bedroom the three men now shared, stopping to
kiss each other every now and then.  Nicky quickly removed Shane's
then his own clothing and the two men got into bed.  They lay
together kissing until they were both hard and dripping precum.

"Earlier, what Bryan said about what Mark had taught him, he
already taught me.  Lie back and let me show you."  Shane gently
moved Nicky back then began to kiss him tenderly and gently.
Nicky almost didn't realize that Shane had begun to stroke him,
it was so gentle, but soon the two sensations began to work on
him and he could feel his pleasure mounting as he was slowly
brought to release.

"That was wonderful boyo, thank you," Nicky said softly, "can I
do it to you now?"

"No need, I already came, just a few seconds after you did," Shane
smiled as he reached for a towel to clean them both off.

"Want to hear about my morning?"  Nicky asked.

"Yes, that was another reason I wanted us to be together.  Tell me
about it please, then I will tell you about Bry boy's night,"
Shane said with excitement.

"Should we let him tell me?  You know he likes to tell it himself,"
Nicky asked.

"No he told me this morning to tell you, he knew we wanted to be
together today.  Which I guess is why it didn't bother me this
morning when I lied.  I sort of figured he knew what was going to
happen and was okay with it.  It was still a lie and I won't do it
again but I think this time it was okay, nobody will get hurt,"
Shane said.

"Bry boy is special isn't he.  We all are I guess."  Nicky moved
a bit to take Shane into his arms and allow Shane's head to rest
on his chest.

"It was so wonderful Shane.  Words just can't really describe it.
I mean I can tell you the mechanics of it and I can say that it
brought me to a whole new level of love but it just can't do it
justice.  This morning what we felt when we circled the lovers
was just a small bit of what it's like when you are with them.

"Shane they made me such a good lover.  Did you hear me scream?"
Nicky asked not with embarrassment but with joy or maybe pride.

"Yes we did.  You know what I told Bryan?  I want to scream that
way.  I want them to make me scream like that then I want you and
Bryan to make me scream.  And I want to make you scream like that
too.  I want it so bad Nicky," Shane said.

"It will all happen my boyo, I promise.  Did Bryan tell you how
they do it.  Like I mean the order we did it in?"  Nicky asked.

"Yeah sort of.  Did you do it extra?"

"Extra?  How do you mean?"  Nicky asked.

"Well like it was Rye and Bry, then Bry and Mark, then Mark and
Bry, then Bry and Rye," Shane went through the order.

"Yeah that's the same as we did."

"Then Bry asked for more, Mark made love to him again and Rye did
it twice more."

"That's right the lovers told me that, I had forgotten.  No we
didn't do it the extra.  But I am not sure you will follow the
same order as they did with us," Nicky stated.

"Why not?  I want to do it the same," Shane sat up a bit to look
at Nicky.

"No I mean you will, but maybe not in the same order.  See when
me and Bry boy were with them, the sharing started with us being
bottom first.  Because they want to be extra careful with you
they might not do it that way.  But you aren't going to miss out
Shane, I know that for sure," Nicky stated.

"Oh, I hadn't thought of that.  They are real gentle though aren't
they?  Bryan kept telling me that making sure I understood," Shane
said as he lay his head down on Nicky's chest again.

"Gentle isn't even the word.  They took lots of time with me, and
Bryan too I imagine, to make sure we understood how to be with you.
It's so beautiful Shane, and I am so happy now and I am so happy
for you," Nicky said.

"They look after us so well," Shane murmured into Nicky's chest.

"I want to be with you so much Shane, and we are going to be so
gentle, Bry boy and me.  We will do whatever you want, but we will
make you scream, we promise,"  Nicky said as he kissed the top of
Shane's head.

"Thank you love.  Now tell me all about how you did it then I will
tell you about Bry boy's time."

The two men stayed in bed for another hour and a half or so,
retelling the experiences of being with the lovers.  When the
stories were finished, Nicky showed he had learned the tender
release that Shane had given him earlier.  After a quick shower
the two men went to the game room, although they ended up on a
couch kissing and holding each other and never did play any pool.

- Jill and Bryan -

After the two friends had gotten about half way round the lake
they stopped briefly to sit on some rocks jutting out into the
lake.  They sat and held hands and just looked at the lake.

"You're a good friend Jill.  I want you to know I think of you as
a friend, we all do," Bryan said.

"I know you do.  I feel the same."

"It's just I wanted to be sure.  I mean we are all sharing with
Rye, and the five of us are brothers.  I just don't want you to
feel left out.  Promise me you will talk to us if you feel we are
leaving you out okay?" Bryan said sincerely.

"I will.  Thank you for thinking of Kian this morning.  I know he
was feeling a little left out.  It's hard for him now.  Before it
was 5 brothers.  Now it's Mark and Rye as a couple and you three
as a trio and I think he was feeling kind of abandoned," Jill said.

"We will never abandon him.  That was why we said what we did
earlier.  There is something else the three of us came up with
that we didn't mention.  We have decided that for the last three
weeks of tour, we are not going to be together as lovers.  It just
would be wrong when Kian and Mark can't even touch their lovers,"
Bryan looked at Jill with sympathy in his eyes for his brothers.

"So every night one of us will be with Kian and the other two with
Mark.  And Mark will never be left alone.  That way we can make
sure he is okay and someone can hold him when he needs it," Bryan
said.

"That is wonderful.  But you shouldn't have to give up your lovers
completely," Jill insisted.

"No we do.  Can you imagine how awful it would be if we took a
night to be together and then we found out that Mark suddenly got
upset and like cried himself to sleep alone because he didn't want
to intrude.  God it would break me," Bryan said as a tear rolled
down his cheek.

"No I hadn't thought of that, but obviously you all did.  Why not
tell Mark and Kian?" Jill asked.

"They will figure it out, but they will feel bad about it when
they do.  Like they are keeping us apart when the truth is we
want it to be that way,"  Bryan answered.

"Can I tell Rye what you are doing?"

"Of course, we figured you would, it will help to put his mind at
ease.  Jill are you going to be able to help Rye?"  Bryan asked.

"Yes, and it will be bad but he is going to have a lot of things
to occupy his mind here, and before you ask I can't tell so don't
bother.  I think Rye will be fine.  You heard him laugh today.
That was something I have never heard before.  It was like he
healed himself or something," Jill said.

"Yeah.  Once this three weeks is over it will be okay, we can all
seven be together forever then," Bryan said.

"Wanta tell me about your night last night?" Jill asked, changing
the subject like only she could, she was in for a shock herself
this time though.

Bryan's face lit up, "Really?  Can I?"

It was obvious Bryan wanted to tell her and even though she knew
it was going to get explicit and probably uncomfortable for her,
there was no way she could say no.  So she listened and blushed
many times, grateful Mark was nowhere around to see the blushes,
but was never really uncomfortable.  Afterwards Bryan hugged her
and held her for a bit then kissed her on the lips, to which she
of course had to scream 'boy cooties', then they resumed their
trip around the lake.

- God's Cathedral -

The three men walked along a small trail to one side of the cabin,
holding hands with Kian in the middle.

"Where are we going Rye?" Mark asked.

"Not far," Rye refused to say more.

After about a half hour the group was deep in the woods when they
came into a clearing.  Inside the clearing was a single very large
willow tree with its branches hanging low on the ground.  Brushing
the outer branches aside the group went to the trunk of the tree.
It was like they were inside a secret little world.  The branches
of the willow were like a living wall that kept everything else out
and the branches were high enough up that you could easily stand
underneath without having to duck.  Inside it was dim as the sun
was filtered through the many branches.  The sounds of the forest
could still be heard and a small bird somewhere within the branches
of the willow itself sang sweetly.

"It's beautiful Rye," Kian whispered.

"I call it 'The Cathedral'.  It just seems like something god put
here special,"  Rye said as he spread the blanket and lay down.

Mark moved Kian down beside Rye and lay beside him.  The lovers,
with Kian in the middle, stared up into the branches.  Rye and
Mark were on their sides with one arm above them to rest their
heads on and their other arm draped around Kian

"Guys?"  Kian said to get their attention, "Don't be mad okay but
I don't wanta do any anal stuff."

"Why would we be mad Kian, we know you aren't into it,"  Mark
said softly beside him.

"I just didn't want you to be mad is all, I knew you wouldn't be
but I just wanted to make sure.  I'm just really not into it at
all.  I liked the other stuff though and if it's okay I would like
to do that still, and I think I wanta try the sucking too," Kian
said.

"Why?" Rye asked then clarified, "I mean why do you want to try
the sucking?"

"Well because I liked watching you guys do it, it feels great and
I think I would like it," Kian said.

"Not because you think you have to pay us back or anything?" Rye
asked.

"No you said I didn't have to," Kian said then looked at Rye,
"that's right isn't it?"

Rye smiled and kissed Kian on his nose, "Exactly right, just
checking.  Now can I ask you a question without upsetting you?"

"Okay."

"You said you liked watching Mark and I suck and you enjoy it when
we do it to you, and that made you think you want to try doing it
yourself right?"  Rye didn't wait for Kian to respond, "But you
have never seen us make love or done it, so how do you know you
wouldn't enjoy having it done to you?"

"Angel," Mark cautioned as he felt that maybe Rye was pushing a
little bit too hard on the issue.

"It's okay Mark, it's a fair question,"  Kian said then asked,
"Can I think about it for a bit?"

Rye nodded and lay his head on Kian's chest.  It was a long time
before anyone said anything, they all lay there holding each other
loosely and just enjoyed being together.  Kian's voice startled
them when he finally spoke again.

"You're right.  It's no different.  I mean Nicky and Bryan sure
seem to enjoy it.  I guess I am scared that if I do it it means I
am gay.  And I am also scared of the pain,"  Kian said.

Without looking up at Kian, Rye asked, "Do you know what bisexual
means?"

"Of course I do angel," Kian used the nickname, he really was
feeling very vulnerable at the moment and needed to be loved.

Mark and Rye both picked up on this.  Rye kept his head on Kian's
chest and pulled closer, slipping his hand up under Kian's shirt
to stroke his bare chest.  Mark snuggled in closely laying his
head on Kian's shoulder and nuzzled his neck, also wrapping their
legs together.

"We love you so much sweets and we want to share everything with
you.  Being gay is not a bad thing, and we know you know that.  We
also know you love Jill and that you want to be with a woman for
the long term.  But there is nothing wrong with being a lover with
your friends.  Jill even said it wouldn't matter a bit to her if
you turned out to be bisexual and shared it all with us as long as
you loved her," Rye said.

"We are not trying to pressure you sweets but we don't want you to
miss out on something simply because of fear of what others may
say or because of a single word like gay.  And yes there is a
little pain, but we go so slowly that there is almost none.  Do
you think that we would ever hurt any of you?  What about Shane
who was so damaged, do you think we could ever hurt him?  Believe
me the pain is so small and it is replaced by something so
wonderful," Mark said.

Everyone was quiet for a few minutes before Mark spoke again.

"We are leaving this up to you completely Kian.  We will always
love you and we can still do anything you want.  If after you
think about this completely and really look at your reasons for
not wanting to go further and your answer is still no then we
will accept that.  We just want you to know that at any time you
can change your mind, saying no today does not mean that next
week you can't say yes."

Rye nodded, "That's right Kian, you can decide from day to day
what you want.  If one day you like us sucking you but the next
time you only want a handjob that's okay.  Remember it is all
about love and sometimes that means no sex at all."

"Sweets?" Mark sat up to look at Kian.

"Yeah?" Kian looked into Mark's eyes and saw the love there.

"If you want to watch us one time that would be okay.  You could
decide on your level of participation, just like when you asked to
watch us suck each other."

Rye sat up and smiled at Mark then at Kian.  Rye looked back at
Mark and saw a question in his eyes.  Rye nodded again to Mark.

"And one time only, so you could experience it if you wanted to,
you could choose one of us to be with and it would be only two
instead of three, and you could just make love to us, you wouldn't
have to be on the bottom," Mark said softly.

Kian gasped, "What?  You would not be together?  But that's
against the rules."

"For one time only, if it would make it easier for you sweets, we
would do it for you," Rye whispered gently.

Kian looked at the two men, so sincere in their love for him that
they would make this sacrifice.  Suddenly it was too much for him
and he began to cry softly.  The lovers moved closer to him and
held him, whispering tenderly to him.  After some time Kian fell
asleep.  The lovers began to drift off to sleep as well.  Looking
at each other across the sleeping form of their friend their eyes
met.

"Always my fella," Rye whispered softly.

"Forever my angel," Mark whispered back.

Soon all three men were asleep.  They slept for hours before
waking together.

"That was a good nap my boys," Rye said as he stretched his body.

"Yeah, I needed it.  You guys gave me a lot to think about,"
Kian said

"Hopefully we didn't confuse you, we just want to be sure you
understand what this is all about," Mark said.

"I think I do.  I still want to think about it but I also believe
you are right when you say I can't really decide without having
had the chance to experience it.  I think maybe I want to talk to
Shane first," Kian said.

Rye was surprised, "That's actually a really good idea Kian."

"Now who wants some luvin?"  Mark said seductively as he moved his
hand down Kian's belly to rest on his crotch.

"Really?  Can we?" Kian asked, not able to keep the excitement
from his voice.

"Sure we have a couple hours before we need to be back for supper.
I imagine the others are back by now and Jill said something about
wanting to have italian food tonight so I imagine she has roped
the others into helping her cook," Rye said.

"What do you want us to do to you Kian?"  Mark asked.

"Can we do sort of like last time, you guys undress each other
then me.  Then we can take turns sucking each other.  I decided I
want to do that, I want to taste both of you," Kian said, his
erection obvious now.

"Of course sweets," Mark whispered as he began to unbutton Kian's
shirt.  Kian watched as Rye began to remove Mark's jeans.  Soon
they were all naked and visibly aroused.

"How do you want us to start Kian?" Rye asked.  The lovers were
still careful with Kian to ensure that he had control.

"I need someone to show me how to suck," Kian said softly.

"No problem sweets, come down here with me," Rye said.

Kian and Rye moved down and propped themselves up to look at
Mark's erection.

"Okay we can do this together, you can stop whenever you want if
you find you don't like it and you won't upset either of us.  We
know how difficult this is for you sweets we really do, and we are
willing to go as slowly as you need," Rye said.

Kian nodded and reached out and gently held Mark's cock.  Rye
smiled and letting Kian continue to hold Mark's cock he began to
flick his tongue across the head getting it wet then blowing
across it, bringing moans from Mark.  Rye pulled back and looked
at Kian.

Kian did nothing for a minute or so then moved forward and flicked
his tongue across Mark's head once, then pulled back.  Then he
moved forward again and did it again but this time he did not pull
back.  He continued to circle Mark's head with his tongue.  Soon
Rye joined him and the tongues of the two men touched and played
with each other across Mark's head.

"Oh that feels so good Kian, you do that so good.  I really want
to feel your mouth on me.  Please Kian suck on me, I want to feel
my cock in your mouth," Mark moaned.  Rye noticed that both he
and Mark were beginning to talk more during sex, saying what they
wanted and describing what they felt.  It was hot and Rye loved it,
and he decided he wanted to tell Nicky about what he had added to
their lovemaking.

"Okay Mark I will," Kian said and moved his body upright a little
more so he had a better position.  Then he opened his mouth and
took the cock into his mouth.  He closed his eyes and smiled then
began to bob up and down.  He noticed that Rye was sucking on
Mark's balls one at a time.  He came off Mark's head and moved
down to take his turn at Mark's balls.

"Oh yeah Kian that feels so good, suck my balls, yeah take them
into your mouth.  I'm almost ready sweets are you going to taste
me or do you want Rye to?"  Mark moaned.

Without answering Kian moved up and quickly put the head of Mark's
cock into his mouth and swirled his tongue across the tip.  He felt
Mark's body tense and his mouth fill with hot cum.  For just a
second he panicked but then he swallowed and swallowed again.  On
the third pulse of Mark's orgasm Kian let the hot liquid rest in
his mouth and he closed his eyes and tasted it, savoured it, before
swallowing.  Finally he released his mouth from around the cock and
looked into Mark's eyes, seeing love and desire there.

"Thank you fella for letting me taste you, did I do okay, did I
make you feel good?" Kian asked.

"Oh my sweets you did so good, you made me feel so good.  Are you
okay?"  Mark asked.

"Yeah I am, it was great actually.  Way better than I thought and
it doesn't taste bad at all," Kian said then turned to Rye, "can I
do you now angel?"

"Sure, but don't you want one of us to suck you first?"

"No, I was thinking I could suck you then you two could sort of
share me.  Then we can go home so I can talk to Shane for a bit
before he goes with you for the night.  I am really serious about
figuring this out."

"Alright then sweets," Rye said.

Mark moved down and the two men took turns licking and sucking on
Rye.  Eventually Kian tasted Rye.

"That was amazing Kian, you do that so well, you are very gentle.
Thank you." Rye beamed at Kian.  "Now let us share you."

Kian smiled and moved into position as the lovers began to work on
him.  He was feeling very proud of himself not because he had
sucked cock but because he had made his friends feel so good.

- Mambo Italiano -

Jill had managed to get all the boys working on various different
dishes for the meal that night.  Italian music was playing
throughout the house and all the boys were dancing around the
kitchen with Jill.

When Rye, Kian and Mark entered the kitchen they all smiled.
Bryan came up singing "Hey mambo, mambo italiano" and swept Kian
around the room in some strange sort of bouncy waltz, then went
back to preparing the bruschetta bread after kissing Kian
aggressively on the mouth.  Kian smiled broadly at the affection
showed to him by Bryan and giggled then went to wrap his arms
around Jill.

"Have fun today guys?"  Shane asked.

"Lots," Mark smiled as he sat at the table and watched the rest
of the boys bouncing around the kitchen.

"Anything you can tell us about?"  Nicky asked.

Mark and Rye looked at Kian who smiled, "I learned a new trick
today was all."

Nobody questioned further.

"Can you keep things going without Shane for a bit babe?"  Kian
asked Jill.

"Sure, I think Rye and Mark can handle setting a table," Jill
giggled.

Kian smiled and took Shane by the hand and led him to the games
room.

- Serious Stuff -

"What's up sweets?"  Shane asked as the two sat down, Kian pulling
Shane in close.  Shane realized the discussion was serious and
that Kian needed support and closeness.  Shane did not hesitate
for even a second to wrap himself around Kian protectively.

"I have some questions and I need help figuring stuff out.  I
need someone who can be objective," Kian said.

"Okay Kian its your show til its ours," Shane said simply,
bringing a smile to Kian's face.

"Okay, well the lovers and I ended up in the woods talking and I
told them I didn't want to do the ass stuff, but I wanted to do
the sucking.  We started talking about it and I told them that I
liked it when they had put on the little show for me, sucking each
other off while I watched, and that I figured it would be okay for
me to do it.  Then they asked what was different about the ass
stuff.  That maybe the only reason I wasn't doing it was my own
hang ups with the word gay.  Maybe if I could see them making love
it would change my mind and I might want to try it too, just like
with the sucking.  So after thinking about it I said I was scared
it would make me gay, and I was afraid of the pain.

"Well they got around to telling me that being bisexual was okay.
Apparently Jill had even told them it was fine with her if I was
bisexual.  They offered to let me watch them make love and even
went so far as to say that if I was uncomfortable they would let
me choose one of them to make love with, and that I would not even
have to be a bottom for them.  They weren't trying to pressure me
at all but they wanted me to seriously think about it.  And frankly
I am.  I guess what I want is for someone to tell me it's okay and
that I am going to be okay," Kian finally finished.

Shane sat there for a long time before answering.  He wanted to
make sure he gave the best answer he could.

"So you watched the lovers suck each other the night you shared
with them?" Shane asked.

"Yes."

"And you got aroused by it enough that today you decided to go
ahead and try it yourself?" Shane guessed at what had happened
today.

"Yes, and I liked it.  It was wonderful.  I felt very connected
to them.  I know you all feel it yourselves, but it's not just
sex it's love.  I could never explain it to anyone else, they
would never get it, but I know it's love and I can deal with
it," Kian said.

"So they made you think about it and you finally came to the
conclusion that maybe the anal stuff will be the same.  But you
just can't see that as love you see it as sex?" Shane questioned.

"I think that's how I saw it.  But now I am thinking it will be
the same way," Kian answered.

"I can't tell you from my own experience yet but I can tell you
that both Bryan and Nicky were changed by it.  They both said
basically the same thing that they felt so much more connected to
the lovers.  Like their souls had touched in a way that could
never be separated.  Personally I can't wait.  But honestly this
is a decision only you can make.  I can help only so far in
clearing things up for you," Shane said.

"I know.  I just want someone to tell me there aren't going to be
any bad side effects."

"Like what.  You don't like it and they refuse to share with you?
You know that won't happen.  You may be embarrassed a bit after
but they will help you overcome that.  You enjoyed everything so
far, you know how kind and loving they are.  Honestly Kian can
you think of a good reason not to at least try it once.  I mean
they even are going to set aside their rules and let you be with
just one of them.  That right there shows how deeply they care and
love you.  And that is not just because of how much they trust
each other, but it's also because they trust you too sweets,"
Shane said softly as he rubbed his hand across Kian's belly in a
soothing motion.

"I know.  I can't believe they would do that for me.  That they
would let me choose one of them and the other would not be there.
They didn't even hesitate.  They put me before themselves.
Although I don't know why that surprises me anymore, they do it
all the time," Kian whispered.

"I am going to them tonight to let them make love to me and I can
barely contain myself.  It's love Kian, not sex.  I don't know
what else to tell you.  I don't know if I have helped you at all
or just made things harder.  I think you already know what you
want to do, you are just scared to admit it, and that's what I
don't understand," Shane said.

Kian sighed.  "You're right.  I have made my decision, and I am
scared, I just don't know why."

"Maybe because it's not something you ever thought you would be
doing.  Most of us didn't.  Just a week ago I thought I was
straight," Shane paused, "Do you think you are going to turn gay
by making love with them?"

"No, I am not gay, although I may be bisexual with the lovers and
you guys, never anyone else though.  Can you be bisexual with just
some people and not others?"  Kian thought about this for a moment
before shrugging and then continuuing, "You know what? I honestly
don't know why I am scared.  I honestly don't know why Shane.  I
thought about it a long time and there is no reason.  I just am,"
Kian admitted.

"Then my advice is be with them, be with both of them, let them
help you move past the fear.  You know you can trust them.  They
will stop if they sense you are really not ready for it," Shane
said.

"I do know I can trust them.  And I have made my decision," Kian
said.  He turned a bit and lay his head on Shanes shoulder.  Shane
held him then briefly kissed him on the lips.  They stayed this
way for a few minutes before Shane stood and took Kian's hand.

"Let's go see if supper is ready.  I have a big night tonight,"
Shane said.

"Thanks boyo.  I love you lots.  I hope you have a good night
tonight," Kiansaid as they walked to the kitchen.

"It's going to be wonderful.  And tomorrow I will tell you about
it," Shane said.

- The Night Of Shane -

Supper was amazing.  Everyone complimented Jill on her work.  The
meal was a loud and fun event, everyone talking, laughing and
loving each other's company.  After supper everyone retired to the
great room, after slipping into tee's and sleep pants or boxers,
where Rye had turned off all the lights and set a fire.  The storm
had missed them, passing to the north, but the flashes of lightning
could be seen in the distance and was fun to watch.

Rye came into the room bringing in glasses and a bottle of wine.

"Nicky love, would you decant for us please," Rye handed another
bottle of the Blanc D'Or over to Nicky.

"Oh thank you Rye, this is perfect for tonight,"  Nicky said as
he began to prepare the wine.

"Perfect for tonight?"  Rye asked.

"Well sure, because it's going to be Shane's night.  This just
makes it that much more special,"  Nicky said without looking up,
so he missed the deep blush from Shane.

Everybody looked at Nicky, who was unaware of the looks, with
smiles on their lips seeing the love Nicky had for his lover.

"Thank you love," Shane finally said.  This time it was Nicky's
turn to blush but he also smiled.

When Nicky had poured glasses for everyone Rye took his glass and
sat next to Jill.  Nicky moved and sat beside Shane who was now in
between Nicky and Bryan.  Mark moved and squished himself into the
big armchair with Kian, putting one arm around Kian and kissing
him gently on the mouth.  Rye raised his glass and waited for the
others.

"To love and friendship, old and new, may they all grow stronger
and nourish each other forever."

Everyone smiled and drank from their glasses.  The flickering
firelight played off of the gold flecks on everyone's lips.

Jill snuggled into Rye and smiled, "Happy?" she asked.

"So happy," he replied softly as he kissed her on the head.

"Me too,"  Jill said back.

On the floor Nicky and Bryan took turns whispering into Shane's
ear or kissing his neck.  The three were so close they could have
been one body as they rubbed their feet and legs together just
enjoying their closeness.  Their body language would have given
away to anyone watching the deep love they held for each other.
But it was their eyes that truly could take your breath away.
The absolute adoration for each other was almost overwhelming.

On the armchair Mark sat sideways with one leg thrown over Kian
his head resting on Kian's shoulder.  Kian rested his own head
against Mark.

"I've made my decision Mark," Kian said softly.

"Mmmm?"  Mark waited.

"I will be with you both, I would like it before we go back on
tour.  I trust you both and although I am scared I also know it
is something I want to experience," Kian whispered into Mark's
ear.

"It will be wonderful Kian I promise.  We will be so much closer
afterwards," Mark smiled and turned his head to kiss Kian again
on the lips.

>From the couch Jill smiled at the affection between her boyfriend
and Mark.  "Hey fella, how bout we switch for a bit so I can get
a taste of sweets."

Mark smiled and stood up, kissed Kian one more time, and went to
sit between Rye's legs on the floor.  He moved Rye's bare feet
into his lap and stroked them softly.  The three sets of lovers
sat there in silence listening to the occasional distant thunder
and snap of fire.

"Let's play a game to get to know each other better," Shane
suggested.

"How do we play?"  Jill asked.

"We take turns asking a question that everyone has to answer
including yourself.  That way we all learn the same things.  We
try not to get too personal but since you have to answer your own
question it's pretty safe.  Of course if a question is too
embarrassing you don't have to answer.  We want it to be fun
after all," Shane explained.

"Okay boyo sounds good.  You ask the first question.  Let's make
a rule though.  After a question is asked, if anyone decides they
don't want to answer the question they can say so immediately and
another question gets asked instead," Rye said.

"Sure.  Okay let's start simple.  Favourite colour.  Mine is
green," Shane said.

Everyone gave their answers.  This continued for awhile, everyone
finding out favourite author, book, singer, actor, actress, movie
etc.

"Okay," Bryan said, "How bout this then, other than the people in
this room, who would you most like to have a one night fling with,
no worries about relationships just pure sex."

"Anyone not want to answer that?"  asked Rye quickly.  Nobody
objected.

"Okay then my answer is Keeanu Reeves, he is so cute," Bryan said.

"No fair, that was my answer.  Can we share him?" Jill giggled.

"Damn that means I have to wait for you guys to finish before I
get my chance,"  Nicky said.

"Poor Keeanu.  I think my answer is Rob Thomas," Rye answered.

"I think Tina Turner, those legs are incredible,"  Kian said.

"I think Stephen Gately is cute, so for a one-nighter he would be
my choice," Shane said with some embarrasment.

"I'm with boyo, Stephen for me too," Mark said then turned to
Rye, "Just so you know though, that is just for the game.  I mean
we meet them all the time but there is never a worry about it ever
really happening."

"I know fella, this is for fun, we are all too committed to each
other to ever act on anything like that," Rye said, "Okay then
along the same lines, if you were going to have a one-nighter
batting for the opposite team who would it be?"

"You mean like a woman for us mo's?" Bryan giggled.

"Yeah exactly, everyone okay with that question?"  Rye looked for
objections then answered, "Okay my choice is Sandra Bullock"

"Eew, really?  My choice is Tina Turner.  Same reason as Kian,
those legs," Bryan said.

"Hmmm does it have to be someone still alive.  I mean can I pick
someone that is dead but that if they were still alive would be
my choice?"  Kian asked.

"Sure sweets," Rye nodded.

"Okay then River Phoenix.  He was so intense and talented,"  Kian
answered.

"Oh good answer hon, okay my answer would be Cher.  No idea why,
I just like her a lot," Jill actually blushed when she said it
and waited for Mark to tease but he never did.

"I have always had a major crush on Janet Jackson,"  Shane said.

"Looks like you and me sharing Shane, I'm for Janet too,"  Mark
said.

"Another foursome then cuz my answer is Janet too," Nicky shrugged.

"Okay my turn, a person living or dead that you would like to
spend the day with, no sex, just someone interesting, and you have
to say why or maybe say the one big question you would ask them,"
Jill said, "Everyone okay with that?"

The game continued for awhile getting some interesting answers all
around.  Finally though Nicky and Bryan stood up, holding out a
hand each to Shane.

"Come on lover let's get you ready for your night.  We want to be
with you for a bit before you go,"  Bryan said softly.

Shane smiled and took the offered hands.  "Night Jill, night Kian."

To everyone's surprise Jill got up and hugged Shane tightly, "It's
going to be beautiful Shane.  Bryan told me about his night and I
wish it all for you.  Let the lovers teach you what real love is
about okay?"

Shane got teary eyed and nodded.  Kian was next and also hugged
him tightly. "Have a great night Shane, thanks for talking with me
today, you cleared a lot up for me.  I want to hear about your
night okay."

The trio left and walked quietly up the stairs.

"Umm guys, Jill?"  Kian got everyone's attention, "Sorry to keep
doing this but I changed my mind again.  I have decided after
talking to Shane that I want to try it all.  I hope that is okay
with everybody?"

Jill smiled and cuddled closer to Kian.  "Kian I don't know any
other way to say it.  I have said it so many times.  You can do
whatever you want with any of the guys.  I will never consider
it cheating.  I know it's hard for you to grasp, but when it's
one of us you never have to ask or clear it with me."

"Thank you Jill, and it is hard for me.  Thank you for being
patient with me," Kian said.

"Have you decided how it's going to happen Kian?"  Mark asked.
"I mean do you just want to watch first like we talked about.  Or
did you just want it to be one of us so you can see what it's
like?"

"One of you?"  Jill questioned.

"I am a little scared, and the lovers said that one time only, I
could choose one of them and it would be just two of us and that
I didn't have to be on the bottom if I didn't want to.  To make
it easier for me.  They were willing to make a big sacrifice for
me and that helped me decide," Kian explained to Jill who looked
at Rye and Mark with surprise and pride that they would be willing
to do that for Kian.

"But my decision is that I want to do it like the others.  Let's
do the whole thing.  I have already decided that if I like it, I
will keep doing it.  Maybe not as much as the others, because after
all I am deeply in love with Jill.  But I would be a fool to cut
out of my life something that I enjoy with two people who love me
and who I love.  So if you guys are willing, then tomorrow night
before we head back to the city, I would like my turn," Kian said
it quietly but without hesitation or pause.

"That will be fine sweets.  We promise we will be as gentle as we
are going to be with Shane.  And we promise you will enjoy it.  It
is love Kian not sex and just like the other times we have been
together you will realize that as soon as you are with us," Mark
said, "Switch partners with me Kian and come hold on to Rye."

Mark and Kian switched places.  Mark curled up and placed his head
on Jill's lap holding on to one of her hands while she gently
stroked his hair.  Jill swallowed around a lump in her throat as
her emotions suddenly seemed to overwhelm her.  It seemed that the
boys were making a special effort to show her that she was not an
outsider, would never be an outsider.  Bryan earlier had held her
hand and shared with her the intimate details of his experience.
Both Shane and Nicky had hugged or danced with her several times
while making supper that evening.  Now Mark was curled up with her
in a very intimate way.  Although she had never really felt left
out, she definitely felt closer to the boys now than she had.

Kian had sat beside Rye on the sofa.  Rye had gently moved him so
that his head lay in Rye's lap looking up at Rye.  Rye placed one
hand on Kian's chest and rubbed it gently while his other hand
played with his hair.

The two pairs of friends stayed this way for some time.  Finally
Mark sat up and looked at Rye.  "We should go up.  I imagine our
boyo will be ready soon."

Rye and Mark bid goodnight to Jill and Kian then slowly climbed
the stairs to their bedroom.  They went to the bathroom to prepare
for their night with Shane.

- The Boyfriends -

Nicky and Bryan gently led Shane upstairs.  Nobody said anything.
Once inside their shared room they stripped Shane down slowly,
placing kisses on each part of his body as it was revealed.  When
Shane's boxers were removed the two men got down on their knees
and began to kiss and suck on his cock and balls.  Together they
brought Shane to the edge and beyond, sharing his cum between them.

"Do you know how to use an enema my boyo?"  asked Bryan.

Shane nodded.

"Then just tell us when you are finished and we will come in and
shower with you and then take you to the lovers," Nicky said.

Shane headed for the bathroom while the two other men began to
kiss each other and remove each others clothing.  They sat on the
edge of the bed holding hands waiting until Shane called them in.
Finally the door opened and Shane poked his head out.

"Ready my boys."

Nicky and Bryan walked in and entered the shower with Shane.
Gently they washed him from head to toe, taking much longer than
was necessary.  They were all very aroused.

"My boys, we have yet to be with each other, all three I mean.  I
want to taste you both before I go to the lovers okay?"  Shane
asked.  Without waiting for an answer he got down and swallowed
Nicky.  Nicky moaned then felt Bryan move behind him, feeling
Bryan's erection on his ass and warm hands come around his chest
to play with his nipples.  He was already worked up so it was only
a minute or so before he emptied into Shane's waiting mouth.

"Oh love you taste so good, now let me taste Bry boy," Shane breathed.

Nicky and Bryan switched off and Shane took Bryan into his mouth
and the scene replayed.  Finally the men got out of the shower and
went back to their room where they dressed in tee's and boxers.

"Ready lover?"  Nicky asked Shane.

Shane nodded and took the hands of his two boyfriends.  They led
him down the hall to the master bedroom.  Opening the door the
trio could see the lovers in bed already, covered but obviously
waiting.

"Hello boys, thank you for bringing Shane to us tonight," Rye
smiled.

The trio walked to the end of the bed and turned to Shane.  They
both kissed Shane sweetly.

"It's going to be wonderful Shane.  But we want you to know that
if it turns out that you can't do this, nothing will change
between us three.  You will still be our lover and we will never
leave you," Nicky said.

"That's right Shane.  The lovers are going to make it all right
though, I know it.  They are going to make you scream Shane.  I
am going to wait in our bed and I am going to just jump for joy
when I hear you scream Shane," Bryan said.

Rye and Mark looked oddly at the trio, Shane noticed.  "I heard
both Bryan and Nicky scream with pleasure and I told them I wanted
to scream like that too.  I want to be shown how it feels and I
want them to make me feel that way and I want to learn how to make
them feel that way."

Rye and Mark smiled and nodded.

Nicky kissed Shane again and gently removed his tee, kissing one
nipple while Bryan kissed the other.  Then Bryan removed the
boxers, Nicky helping Shane to balance.  Once more the two men
kissed him.

"Have fun my lover," Bryan said then took Nicky's hand and left
the room.

Shane stared at the closed door for a minute.

"You okay boyo?" Mark asked softly.

Shane turned with tears in his eyes.  "Better than that.  They
love me.  Listen boys, I am going to be fine, I know it.  No need
for any changes.  Let's do it exactly like the others.  I want to
feel you inside me Rye and then you Mark."

Shane climbed into the bed.  The lovers gently enfolded him.

"Alright Shane, we are going to do it slowly but just like the
others," Rye said.

Mark moved Shane into a raised position with pillows behind him
so that he could watch what was being done to him.

"Comfortable boyo?"  Mark asked.

"Yes thank you fella."

"We are going to raise your legs and use our mouths and tongues
on your ass for a bit.  It feels really nice and we want to make
you cum, so just let go when you are ready.  The word is stop
Shane.  You can make us stop at any time.  Either stop completely
or just to take a rest and let you get used to it.  If you start
to feel scared or overwhelmed just say stop," Rye said.

"I won't get scared."

"Shane my love, promise us that you are doing this because it is
what you want and that if you feel even a little bit scared or
unsure that you will say stop and let us continue later.  This is
as much for us as it is for you Shane," Rye said and his voice
quavered.

"Angel, what's wrong?" Shane suddenly realized Rye was trembling.

"I'm sorry boyo, I am just very scared myself," Rye admitted.

"You're scared?" Shane and Mark said almost at the same time.

"Terrified," Rye said as tears came to his eyes.

"Why?" Shane asked as he took Rye into his arms.

"I don't want to hurt you, and it's a big step for you.  I don't
think I could stand it if I hurt you Shane," Rye said tearfully.

"My angel," Shane cooed as Mark moved to the other side of Rye and
held him, "you have healed me, now you get to be the first to show
me what real love is.  I am so honored that you will do this for
me.  I have been looking forward to this for so long.  Longer than
you could know.  I waited so long for real love to show up and it
is here finally.  You are going to give me back what was taken
from me so that I can be with my own lovers.  Please Rye, make me
whole again."

Rye smiled and sniffed.  He let the two men hold him for a while
longer then moved and raised Shane's legs.

"Hold your legs boyo and get as comfortable as you can," Rye said
softly.

"We are going to get you ready now Shane.  Remember cum when you
are ready and the word is stop," Mark said as he moved to watch
Rye.

Rye moved down and gently blew across Shane's hole.  Shane moaned
as his body reacted.  Rye smiled and moved in flicking his tongue
across Shane's pucker.  He flicked his tongue several times before
pushing in.  He could feel Shane's body tense but knew from the
sounds it was from pleasure not fear.

Mark was watching Shane's face and could see his state of arousal.
He gently moved Rye aside to take his turn pleasuring his brother
and friend.  He knew that Rye had moved and was now licking and
sucking on Shane's foot.  He felt his own body shiver as Shane
tensed and shot cum across his belly.  Mark sat up and helped Rye
lick the cum from Shane.

"Okay boyo?" Mark asked when they had cleaned Shane's belly.

"Oh god yes, that was amazing," Shane whispered.

"Ready for the next step," Mark asked.

"Just a minute," Shane said and moved Rye to a sitting position so
he could stare into his eyes.  "Please believe me Rye, I want this.
Not because of Bryan or Nicky or even you or Mark.  I want this
for me.  I want to feel this kind of pleasure.  Make me scream
with pleasure angel."

"I will boyo."  Rye smiled then moved to position himself and
raised Shane's legs again.  "I am gonna work my way up, starting
with one finger.  When I feel you are loose enough I am gonna use
another.  After you are loose enough and I have three fingers in
I will let you know before I move on to my cock."

Shane nodded.

Rye put the lube on his finger and rubbed it around Shane's hole
and began to insert his finger.  He slid in easily and moved to
the pleasure spot.   Shane closed his eyes and grabbed the sheets
in his fingers.

"That's amazing," he shuddered.

Rye gently probed, generating as much pleasure as he could.
Finally he withdrew his finger and then pushed back in with two
fingers.  Again they slid in easily.  He had worked quickly but
had been very thorough in getting Shane ready.  Finally he moved
on to three fingers.  Shane winced slightly and Rye's heart nearly
stopped, he quickly removed his fingers.

"I'm sorry Shane," Rye said as he started to tremble again.

"It's okay angel.  You are doing it great.  Don't stop and don't
worry. I know that any pain will only be brief and you aren't
doing it on purpose."  Shane reached out to take Rye's hand and
firmly moved it back down to his ass.

Rye once again inserted the three fingers and spent a long time
loosening Shane up.  Finally he withdrew.

"I think you are ready boyo," he said.

"I am, but are you?" Shane asked.

"I think so, can I get a hug before we go further though?"  Rye
asked.

Quick as a flash both Mark and Shane were holding him tightly.
They stayed like that until Rye dry sobbed once and released them.
He looked at the two men and smiled and the light in his eyes came
back.  Neither had noticed that it had been missing.  Silently the
two men cursed themselves for not realizing how hard this was on
Rye.

Rye gently pushed Shane down and said, "Okay boyo let's make you
scream."

Mark raised Shane's legs again.  "Okay boyo, when you feel angel
start to push against you, you try to push out.  When he first
enters there may be a sting of pain but he will stop right away
giving you a chance to get used to it.  After that there should
be no more pain, only pleasure."

"I understand, and I understand about the pain.  It's unavoidable
to get to the pleasure.  I love you fella, and I love you so much
angel for being my first," Shane said.

Rye nodded, not trusting himself to say anything in case he broke
down.  He put more lube on Shane's opening then lubed himself up.

"Ready?"  Mark asked Shane as he took his hand.

"Yes," Shane smiled and locked eyes with Rye.

Rye moved into position and began to push in.  He could feel the
resistance suddenly let go and his head slip in.  Shane gasped but
his eyes stayed focused on Rye.  Shane forced himself to relax.
He knew that Rye would give him time to adjust.  He thought of
that horrible day so many years ago.  This was nothing like that,
this time Shane had control.  A single word and he was free.  But
he did not want this to stop.  This was not like the other time.
This man, this beautiful man loved him.  Rye was willing to put
himself through this emotional experience to help Shane.  Shane
had not realized what Rye was feeling.  He thought briefly about
how Rye's brothers had been tortured and raped and realized just
how much Rye was really doing for him.  He smiled at Rye and
whispered, "I love you angel, thank you so much for doing this
for me."

Rye felt very near the edge of a panic attack.  He thought this
would not be a problem for him.  He had been focusing on Shane and
making sure he was going to be okay.  Suddenly though he realized
that Shane had been raped and that he was being asked to be the
one to take him past that nightmare.  Without warning the thoughts
of what his brothers had had to endure flashed through his mind.
But this wasn't like that time.  Rye was not a rapist, Rye was a
friend and lover guiding Shane through his first real love-making.
Rye pushed the bad thoughts away and focused on Shane, and as he
did Shane told him he loved him and everything was right again.

Rye began to move slowly into Shane, watching for signs of pain or
discomfort.  He stopped only once as Shane grimaced a bit but was
finally inside of Shane completely.

"I am inside you now boyo.  Are you okay?"  Rye asked.

"Yes and it feels wonderful, it really does.  Did you know I can
feel your heart beating?" Shane asked.

"I can feel yours beating too.  When we cum together you will feel
our souls connect.  Are you ready to begin making love now Shane?"
Rye asked.

Shane nodded.

Rye withdrew a bit then pushed back in.  He began very slowly,
only withdrawing a tiny bit.  This first time for Shane was going
to be amazing.  He was going to make it last forever, bringing
him to the edge and then stopping over and over again.

- First Time -

Nicky began to move back to the bedroom after he and Bryan had
left Shane with the lovers but Bryan stopped him.  Bryan then sat
down with his back against the wall outside the lovers door.

"What are you doing?"  Nicky asked quietly.

"I can't leave.  I want to make sure he is okay," Bryan said.

"You can't stay here and listen," Nicky argued.

"I know it's wrong but I have to.  If he needs me I want to be
here."

"They aren't going to hurt him," Nicky said as he sat down.

"I know that.  Not intentionally maybe but it could still happen.
Or he could freak out.  If he does I want to be there to comfort
him and let him know I love him.  And someone will have to be
there for Rye and Mark too.  Can you imagine how hard this is for
them?" Bryan asked.

Nicky blinked.  He had actually never realized what this would be
like for the lovers.  The thought of what it would do to them if
Shane did freak out had never occurred to him before either.

"No I hadn't.  I can't believe how calm they are.  This must be
killing Rye since he is usally first," Nicky said.

"If something happens in there one of us has to go to Shane and
one of us has to go to Rye,"  Bryan said.

"Okay you're right.   Who do I go to?"  Nicky asked.

Bryan thought for a minute,  "You go to Shane, I will go to Rye.
Mark will be comforting Shane."

"No you two go to Shane, Kian and I will go to Rye,"  Jill said
from the floor where she sat inside her bedroom door.  Beside her
Kian sat on the floor.  The two of them obviously had been
listening at the door.

"What are you two doing?"  Bryan asked as he noticed the pair for
the first time.

"Same as you of course," Kian said.  Jill and Kian got up and
moved into the hall sitting across from Nicky and Bryan.

"Someone tell me everything is going to be okay," Bryan said as a
tear fell down his cheek.

Nicky put an arm around Bryan while Kian got up and sat on the
other side of him also bringing him into his arms.  Jill moved
into the middle of the hall and took Bryan's feet into her lap
and gently rubbed them.

"It is going to be okay Bryan.  I really believe that," Jill said.
The group sat there for a long time, waiting.

"How long has it been?"  Kian asked.

"Almost an hour and a half, but I don't know the order they are
doing it in so I have no idea when Shane's first time is going to
be.  Maybe they have to work up to it too," Nicky said.

- Release -

Shane had been disappointed the first time it had happened.  He
had been nearly there and Rye had stopped and actually withdrew
from inside him.  Then Rye had told him that he was going to make
sure that everyone in the cabin heard him scream.  Rye had waited
until he was calm before entering him again.  Rye had done this
now 4 times.

"We're almost there boyo.  This time I am going to take us over,"
Rye's breathing was shallow, sweat shone on his chest and his eyes
were on fire.

Shane felt the pleasure building and prayed that Rye was not
teasing him.  Suddenly he felt a warm mouth on his nipple and he
heard and felt Rye chuckle into him.  It was electric.  His entire
body reacted and he released violently, his hole clenching around
Rye's shaft and his body rising off the bed as Rye emptied his hot
seed inside him.  He heard someone screaming in ecstasy and
realized it was him that was screaming.  He continued to shoot onto
his chest and belly.  He had never felt anything like this before,
and he could feel Rye still pumping into him.

Finally his body could take no more and he collapsed as the
pleasure slowly began to fade.  He opened his eyes to look into
the tear-stained face of Rye.

"I love you Shane boyo," Rye said thickly.

"I love you angel, thank you so much," Shane answered.  He felt
Rye slide out of him.  Rye lay down on top of Shane, the still
hot cum on his chest smearing across Rye's chest as they met in an
embrace and their lips touched.

"That was so beautiful my angel.  Thank you for being Shane's first
time making love," Mark whispered through his own tears as he lay
beside the two men and caressed them both.  The three men lay
there for some time before getting up and heading to the bathroom
to clean up.

- Out in the Hall -

"Aaaaaaahhhhh....oh God yes.  Oh Rye.  Aaaahhhhhh."  Shanes voice
could probably have been heard by Ed miles away.

With smiles on their faces Nicky and Bryan grabbed each other in
an embrace and held tightly.  Jill and Kian also hugged each other.
The two couples smiled and stayed there for a while just looking
at each other and smiling.  Finally they all got up and headed to
their own rooms, knowing that everything was going to be okay.

- Lesson Two -

Shane stood in the shower with the lovers as they gently cleaned
and washed him.  They kissed him and whispered to him.  Several
times Rye would stop what he was doing and just hold him.  At
those times both Shane and Mark were brought close to tears when
they realized that Rye was under as much or possibly more strain
than Shane had been.  Shane had had people slowly getting him used
to the idea of love and of the act of making love.  He had been
very ready for it.  But nobody had even thought of the emotional
strain Rye had been under, the strain of being the one to commit
the act that had so scarred Shane in his early life.  Shane had
never doubted he loved Rye but he understood now what the others
had meant when they had spoken of a new connection to the lovers.
Shane realized his love was not like Mark's love, but it was still
very strong.  Shane was ready now to achieve this connection with
Mark.  He knew that the whole night was about this connecting, it
had to do with being made love to and making love to the others,
so thinking this way he was only 25% connected to the lovers.

"Ready for the next part my sweet boyo?"  Mark asked.

"Yes please," Shane answered.

The three men went back to the bedroom and lay down, Mark in the
center.

"Okay boyo I am going to show you how to do it all.  How to get
your lover ready.  Again though boyo, you can stop at any time,"
Rye said.

"No I am passed stopping now, this is wonderful, teach it all to
me," Shane said.

Rye moved down and raised Mark's legs.  Rye moved down as Mark
took hold of his legs and Shane followed Rye down.  Rye blew
across Mark's hole followed quickly by Shane.  Shane was ready.
Rye smiled at Shane.

"I think you know what you want to do here.  Enjoy it boyo," Rye
said then went up to play with Mark's nipples.

Mark moaned constantly and his fingers gripped the sheets.  Rye
knew it was mostly Shane illiciting these moans.  Finally Mark
threw his head back and shot his load.

"Oh boyo that was so good," Mark whispered after kissing Rye.

"I did it okay then?"  Shane asked.

"You did it perfect."

Rye handed the lube to Shane.  "Now we are going to loosen my
fella up a bit."

"We still have to loosen him up?  Do we always have to do that?
I just figured that after a while it would you know, sorta stay
that way," Shane blushed as he tried to express his meaning.

"It sort of does but Shane in case you didn't realize it you are
the biggest of us all," Mark said.

"No I'm the smallest," Shane was embarrassed and sounded slightly
defensive.

"You are maybe the smallest in length, and that's only by a bit,
but you are the thickest, and that is what we mainly have to worry
about here,"  Rye said as he reached out and took hold of Shane's
erection.

Shane looked down and then looked first at Rye's hard cock then
Mark's.  Then his face fell and he looked very sad.

"I don't want to hurt you Mark.  I didn't realize." Shane said
softly.

"You won't hurt me, or not much.  We do it the same way, you
loosen me up and when you first enter you stop to let me get
used to it," Mark said calmly realizing that now Shane was close
to freaking out.

"Is it going to be a problem that I have this curve?"  Shane
asked.  It was obvious he hated the way his penis looked.

"No, in fact I have a feeling that that curve is going to make it
even better, a different angle you know.  But don't worry Shane
it's all going to be perfect.  Now start loosening me up and make
me scream.  I want your lovers to hear me scream and be proud of
you for doing it.  You can do it Shane, you can make love to me
and make me scream and do it yourself at the same time," Mark
said passionately.

Shane nodded and began to loosen Mark up.  When Rye, who gently
coaxed and comforted Shane at the same time, said Mark was ready
Shane nodded.  He let Rye lube up his cock and guide him to the
entrance.  Shane positioned himself and began to push in.  For a
long time it seemed like nothing was going to happen.  He stopped
several times as Mark winced.  Finally though Mark's hole gave way
and Shane slipped in.  Mark yelped and clenched, a tear fell from
his eye.

"Oh God Mark I'm sorry,"  Shane tried to pull out but Rye was
there and was actually holding him inside of Mark.

"It's okay my boyo.  This is something you are going to have to
do.  Bryan loves being a bottom and you are going to have to work
at getting him ready.  You are also going to have to realize that
the first few times with Nicky and Bryan there may be pain.  You
have to get past the pain to get to the pleasure boyo," Mark said,
"Now let's keep going, begin pushing in paying attention to your
lover to make sure there is as little pain as possible."

"I love you fella," Shane said with tears in his eyes.

"I love you too boyo, now let's get to the pleasure,"  Mark
whispered.

Very slowly Shane pushed in, stopping once when Mark whimpered.
This time though it was not pain.

"Oh God Shane, I was right, that beautiful cock hits the spot
just right.  You are going to be amazing with that beautiful cock
of yours," Mark said, his voice thick with desire.

Shane smiled, suddenly proud and actually feeling good about his
penis which he had always felt ashamed of before.  He had felt
ashamed about a lot of things about himself for so long but now
all he could feel was happy and safe and loved.  "That's the way
it's supposed to be," he told himself.

Finally Shane was in all the way.

"Okay what now?"  Shane asked, he knew what he was supposed to do
but now that he was actually doing it his mind seemed to have
deserted him.

"You want to begin to move in and out.  You want to pleasure your
lover but also yourself.  Find a rhythm that feels good.  You can
pull almost all the way out so that just the head is still in then
push back in.  From what Mark said if you do that you are going to
hit his prostrate on every stroke.  That is good for Mark but will
push him over pretty quick.  You want to try and cum at the same
time," Rye said.

Everyone stayed still for a minute.

"Shane?"  Rye asked.

"Sorry, I just don't want to do it wrong and I don't know how to
start," Shane was feeling very unsteady and in need of reassurance.

Rye moved behind Shane and put one arm around Shane's chest the
other across his belly and placed his hand on the thick hair above
Shane's cock.  Gently he moved Shane out and then in again, rocking
him gently to get him used to the feeling.  Once Shane had the
motion going on his own Rye began to move away.

"No please Rye, please keep holding me okay."

Rye nodded and placed himself around Shane like he had been only
a moment ago, and began to gently rock Shane again.

"I have it figured out now but I like you holding me like this
Rye, is it okay?" Shane asked.

"It's wonderful boyo, thank you," Rye whispered into Shane's ear.
>From this location he could see Mark's state of arousal and could
gauge things.

"Let's bring you both over now, we're going to start pulling out
a little bit more until we find the right rhythm," Rye said.
This was very arousing for Rye, his hand was across Shanes chest
holding him tightly and his other hand was just above Shane's
cock.  Rye helped Shane achieve the rhythm that provided the most
pleasure for them both, hitting Mark's prostrate on each thrust.
He was able to watch both his lover and his friend as they
approached their pleasure threshold.

"There we go.  Now let's finish you off, make my man scream boyo."
Rye began increasing the pace, biting gently on Shane's shoulder.
When he could sense that both men were almost there he gently but
firmly bit Shane's neck and growled into him.

The reaction was astounding.  Shane's eyes shot wide as he pushed
in and stayed, he screamed in pleasure and his body tensed as he
shot again and again into Mark.  Mark also screamed with pleasure
as his body tensed and shot several large streams of cum across
his chest.  Finally the two men relaxed and Shane withdrew.

"Was that okay fella?"  Shane asked.

Mark finally opened his eyes and grabbed Shane into his arms
kissing him deeply.

"That was amazing Shane.  You are gonna be a great lover for the
others," Mark said.  Mark then reached around and pulled Rye to
him.

"I love the way you growl like that angel.  Love you forever my
angel."

"Always my fella."

- Briefly Nicky and Bryan -

As the two men lay in each others arms they heard the screams of
pleasure.

"Yes!" Bryan said as he raised his hand to be high-fived by Nicky.

"I bet that hurt a bit though," Nicky said.

"Yeah he is so thick, but that curve I bet feels amazing.  I know
we aren't supposed to discuss stuff without him here, but I want
you to be thinking about something.  How are we all going to work
being with each other?"  Bryan asked.

"We will do it like with the lovers," Nicky said.

"That won't work.  Think about it.  When with the lovers we do it
4 times.  But if all three of us want to make love and be made
love to we have to do it 6 times," Bryan said.

Nicky stopped and figured it out.  "Yeah okay, so no biggie we do
it 6 times."

"That makes for a long night," Bryan said.

"Okay so what did you have in mind?"  Nicky asked.

"Should I say, or should we wait?"  Bryan asked.

"No go ahead, as long as we don't make any decisions without him
it should be okay.  Just fill me in on what you are thinking,"
Nicky said.

"Okay well a few things.  I don't know how often we are all gonna
want to be doing it but I could like do it every day.  I think we
have to sort of schedule things.  Like for example one day, I will
be bottom and you both can top me.  The next time it is Shane's
turn.  That could work.  Or maybe we do it three times in a night
and we all get to be bottom, we would just have to make sure that
we don't always choose the same top.  Like if one day I am bottom
for Shane, then the next time I am bottom for you.  I think we
have to make sure that we are equal," Bryan explained.

"Okay well I can think about those things.  We should also have
like one day a week that we go the whole nine yards.  Like I mean
the whole 6 times, or more if you want to do it extra.  I like
being bottom but nowhere near as much as you do.  We could plan
that too, like if we know we are going to have a three day break
we could plan the middle night of the break to just be an entire
day of making love," Nicky said.

"And when we aren't working we could do the same, like Friday
nights are make out nights," Bryan said, "We will have to see
what Shane says but I like those ideas."

"You wanta go to sleep or wait to hear Rye scream when Shane
makes love to him?"  Nicky asked.

"I wanna hear Rye scream.  God I can't wait for tomorrow.  We
gotta talk to Shane right away to figure out when we can get
together.  I want you both in me so bad," Bryan confessed.

"I hear ya Bry boy.  I want it too.  To feel you both in me and
to be in both of you.  I think tomorrow is going to be an all
day event for us."

The two men held each other and rested without sleeping waiting
for the sounds of Shane's night to end.  They were not
disappointed as the sounds of ecstasy continued to the small
hours of morning.  Finally they drifted off with smiles on their
faces knowing that Shane was in blissful slumber himself.
