Chapter 7

"Ah hello Mrs Blake, I hadn't connected you with young Christopher."  Dr
Phillips the Orthopaedic registrar said as he entered the relatives room.

He sat himself down on a chair opposite the anxiously waiting threesome.
"Are you all related to Christopher?"

"Yes, these are his two brothers."  Penny said, she believed, even after
such a short space of time, that Danny was as much her son as Scott and
Chris.

"Well it's good news on the whole.  I've run a number of tests, I will
spare you the details, but basically Christopher has sustained a knee
sprain.  More specifically he has torn his medial collateral ligament."

Penny had some idea of what Dr Phillips meant, she had a pretty good
knowledge of anatomy because of her work, but her mind wasn't in the most
stable of states at that moment.  She just clung to the man's opening words
of ''It's good news on the whole'. She drew comfort from that.

Danny didn't really follow the last more technical bit about ligaments; he
thought he understood about sprains though.  "Erm doctor sir, will Chris be
able to walk again?"  He asked nervously.

"Oh gracious yes.  He's been given a course of painkillers; he'll have to
keep an ice pack on the knee for a while to keep down the swelling.  Once
this swelling has gone down, he'll have to come in for physiotherapy to
build up and strengthen the knee ligaments.  Though he'll have to wear a
knee brace for a while to stabilise the joint."


"Oh right.  Erm will he be able to play Rugby again?"

"I can't see why not, but that won't be for a month or two.  He has to
strengthen the ligaments and allow them to heal."

"How long will you keep him in hospital?" Scott managed to get out without
stuttering.

"Oh you can take him with you.  We don't keep people in these days unless
we have to.  Besides, I don't think he'd appreciate the rather poor cuisine
that we offer in here."  Dr Phillips smiled at the relieved faces in front
of him. "Don't worry he'll still be able to play the piano."

This caused the others to laugh a little, something the kind surgeon had
intended to happen.

"Can we see him?"  Penny said.

"Oh yes of course.  You can take him home just as soon as I've done the
paperwork.  He'll have a letter to take to his GP, and a note for work.  He
has an office job, so after a few days at home to recuperate, he should be
able to go back to work."

"Thanks doc."  Danny said.

Dr Phillips lead the much relieved group to the curtained off cubical where
there wounded hero lay.

"Now young man, there are three rather relieved relatives who are anxious
to see you.  You gave them quite a scare with your sporting antics you
know."

"Thanks Doc, I gave myself quite a scare too."  Chris said, as he lay
propped up against the trolley's backrest.

"I'll bid you goodbye then.  And Christopher remember what I said about
RICE."

"Rest, Ice, compression and exercise.  Thanks for all you did doc."

"That's what they pay me for."

Penny, Danny and Scott all shook Dr Phillip's hand before he left to
complete the paperwork on Chris's treatment.

"Chris I swear you've given me several more grey hairs in the past couple
of hours.  When the nurse rang me up I didn't know what had happened.  I
had visions of you lying in a pool of blood, with bones poking out of your
skin at all angles."  Penny said gripping her son's hand tightly.

"Sorry mum, sorry you guys.  I was a bit frightened myself too.  I just
felt a pop as someone pressed against the outside of my knee, then I went
down and the pain, you've no idea."

"We do, we could see it on your face."  Danny said.

"Yeah, thanks for what you two did out there, and thanks for kicking the
goal Danny, you did exactly what I'd taught you."

"And you won't be back on that Rugby pitch for a couple of months, and even
longer if I've got any say in it."  Penny told her son.

* * * * *

Back at home that night; Chris lay in the centre of the bed with his lovers
at either side of him.  Danny and Scott were so relieved to have their hero
back with them.  They weren't allowing Chris to do anything more than lift
a cup to his lips.  They even offered to feed him by hand.  Chris was
deeply touched by their concern, but he logically pointed out to them that
he'd just got a knee sprain, he wasn't totally incapable.  They began to
review the events of that afternoon.

"Danny thanks for what you did letting Scott come in the ambulance with me.
I know that it really meant a lot to him."

"Chris, I know you love me just as much as you do Scott, but he is, and
will always be your proper little brother.  We can pretend as much as we
like, but he'll always be related to you, and I won't.  I can accept that
so long as you keep telling me and showing me that you love me too."

"There's no danger of me stopping loving you Cub.  You are a part of us,
part of our pride.  Though I wasn't exactly very Lion like this afternoon."

"Crap!  You showed how brave you really are this afternoon.  You were the
brave Lion I know and love so much."

"Thanks Cub."  Chris was touched by Danny's words.  He leant his head down
and kissed Danny on the top of his head.

"How did you get to the hospital anyway?"

"Glen took me.  He knows I'm gay by the way.  It seems his best friend Gary
is gay, Gary came out to Glen, but as Glen's straight, they can't be
boyfriends, but they're still best friends.  Don't worry Lion, I didn't out
you.  He told me to come out to you, he said you'd be alright about it."

"You showed a lot of bravery too then little Cub, thanks for not outing me,
you had every right to though."

"No I didn't, it's up to you if or when you come out.  I know it's very
awkward with you also being in love with Scott.  All I've ever wanted was
to love you Chris, and I've got that, with the love of Scott too, I'm
happy, well much more than happy.  I can live with us having to keep it all
secret.  I've got you two, a big brother, a little brother a mum, two dads
and a lovely home.  It's much more than I ever dreamed I'd get."

Chris stayed quiet for a few minutes.  He'd been deeply touched by Danny's
words.  "You are one amazing man Danny.  You're only Seventeen, and you've
faced things in your life that no one should ever have to go through.  My
cub I'm so proud to know you, and so honoured to love you."

Chris pulled Danny's face up to his and he gave Danny a slow loving gentle
kiss on his lips.

He then turned his head to Scott and embraced him.  "And I'm proud that you
are my brother and lover too.  What you said to me as I lay on that
stretcher really meant a lot to me.  I could feel your love flow into me
and keep me safe.  I knew you were frightened out there, but you put that
aside to help me, and I love you all the more for that my precious cub."

"I love you too Lion."  Scott said as the two kissed.

* * * * *

"What the bloody hell happened to you?"  Larry said as he welcomed in an
out of breath Chris, when he stood sweating at the door to Larry and Eric's
flat, after limping his way up their staircase, with his two lovers
supporting him as best they could.  It was Tuesday night, and Chris was in
danger of climbing the walls of the Blake house if he didn't get out.  So
Penny decided to drop the three of them off at Larry and Eric's for the
evening.

"I buggered up my knee on the pitch a couple of days ago.  I've got a
letter for you from casualty about it."  Chris replied in answer to Larry's
question.

"You better come in then."  Larry stood to one side as Chris, Scott and
finally Danny came through the door.  "Oh you must be Danny.  Chris and
Scott have told us so much about you."

"Yeah I'm Danny, and don't believe everything those two told you about me.
I'm really quite sweet actually."

"Oh they told us you were far more than sweet."  Eric who had come in from
the lounge added to a blushing Danny.

"First rule in this place, don't try and be cute, because Eric there can
out cute anyone."

Chris sat himself in the centre of the couch and by instinct Danny and
Scott sat to either side of him.  Chris put an arm around each one of them
and brought their heads to his chest.  "My two lovers."  He said with a
broad smile on his face.

Eric and Larry just shook their heads.

"It's all working out for you three then?"  Larry asked.

"Yeah it's great.  We're always careful to keep everyone in the loop, but
it's going well.  I don't know what I'd have done without these two
wonderful people near me for the last couple of days."  Chris said kissing
each one of them on the tops of their heads.

"Good, I'm glad to see you're okay then."  Eric said.

Larry read through the letter from the hospital.  "And how is the knee
now?"

"It's okay so long as I don't walk too far.  These two little angels wait
on me hand and foot though."

"Lucky bugger.  It takes me all my time to get Eric to make so much as a
cup of tea for me."

"Oh you bitch, I made you one yesterday."

"And you forgot to put the sugar in it.  I've taken sugar in tea all the
time I've known you."

"Okay you two, we didn't come out to hear you two have a domestic."  Chris
said trying to restore order.

"Yeah sorry."  Eric said.  Their playful disputes were always in fun. Both
men were totally devoted to one another.

"Oh can I register with your practice please?"  Danny said to Larry.  He
explained where he had lived, and who his old doctor was.

"Yes of course.  We'll fill the forms in, but I want you to make an
appointment to have a check-up, it's standard procedure, and you might as
well register with the demon driller dentist whilst your at it."

"You never complain when I drill you."

"Not in front of the children dear."  Larry countered.

"You two ought to go on the stage."  Scott put in.

"Yes I'd look lovely in a pair of tights."  Eric said.

"And what about your varicose veins?"

"And what about your knobbly knees?" Eric rejoined.

The evening progressed with Eric and Larry gently sparring with each other.
At the end of it Eric drove the three lovers back to their house.

* * * * * *

"Oh aren't they great?"  Danny said when the lovers were in bed and once
the business of milking each other's cock's had been taken care of.  Chris
had remained flat on his back; the others didn't want him straining his
knee.  They'd been quite inventive in their sexual play, getting round
Chris's temporary disability.

"Yeah do you think you'll enjoy having a couple of old queen's for
fathers?"  Chris asked.

"That's not very nice."  Danny said.

"Oh they're always describing themselves as a pair of queens.  Though I'd
never say it to their face though."  Chris said.

"Good."  Scott put in.

"Now then, it's my turn to decide on the sleeping arrangements."  Chris
said.  I'm going to sleep on my right side with a pillow between my legs.
I'll cuddle you Cub Scott if that's okay, and if Cub Danny will move in
behind."

"Sounds good to me Lion."  Scott said.

"Me too."  Danny added.

They got into position and settled in for the night.

* * * * *

The days and weeks began to pass fairly quickly.  Chris's knee grew
stronger; he ended up taking just one week off work.  Penny made him
promise to take things easy, especially during his lunchtime workouts.
Chris received one shock though.  He found a group of his work colleagues
huddled in a corner laughing about something.  When Chris approached them,
they showed him the discussion document that Chris had added his unorthodox
comments to.  He'd forgotten to erase them.  In green ink next to Chris's
'ROUND OBJECTS!  Mr Grimmond, the rather stuffy section manager had written
'Who is Round, and to what is he objecting?"

The Greenville Rugby team missed Chris's presence on the field.  Tom the
centre was made temporary captain, but they were beaten by a stronger team
in the second round of the knock out competition.  At first Chris was a
little upset that it was his absence which had caused the team to fail, but
his lovers soon talked him round.

Danny got an interview for the Porter's job.  Thanks to Barry Cornwall,
Danny got some work experience as a Porter, even though he wasn't allowed
to have direct access to patients for insurance purposes.  Danny was
thrilled at being able to get out of the house and be busy.  His time spent
doing the voluntary work experience gave him the edge at the interview, and
he was offered the post.  Although the job didn't pay much, he brought home
slightly more than he did when he worked at Foster's, and the working
conditions were far nicer.

Penny continued to see Barry socially; her hopes of a more permanent
relationship continued to build.

Scott carried on studying hard at the sixth-form college; he was enjoying
the more relaxed study environment that the college offered.

* * * * *

"Lion, you remember a few weeks ago I was looking into rituals and
ceremonies?"  Scott had gathered the pride together one evening after the
final rugby game of the season.

"Yes Cub I remember."

"Well I've had a word with Cub Danny, and we've worked out what we want to
do."

"And what exactly have you two been cooking up?"

"Oh we've written it down.  Here have a look and see what you think."
Scott handed Chris a piece of paper.  Chris studied it closely.  His eye's
raised a bit as he began reading.  "Oh you kinky buggers."  He said at one
point.  He carried on reading.  Then he gave a sharp intake of breath.
"Are you sure about this last point you two?"

"Yes Lion we gave it a lot of thought, and we both think it's time."

"And when do you want to perform this little ritual?"

"Well mum is going out all day Saturday with Barry.  So we'll have the
house to ourselves then.  We thought about doing it then.  It will also
give us time to gather the things we'll need."

"Well alright then, if it's what you really want to do."

"Oh it is Lion."  Danny piped up.

* * * * * *

"Now I imagine I'll be back fairly late boys, there's plenty of food in the
fridge if you need it."  Penny said just before Barry came to pick her up.

"Yes mum okay, we'll be fine.  Don't worry about us, you just go out and
have a lovely time." Chris said, as Penny continued to fuss around them.

"Thanks, Barry has promised me a full day, but he won't give me any
details.  He just said to dress up smart but comfortable."

"You'll enjoy yourselves I'm sure."  Danny said.

"Oh yes I'm sure I will."  They all heard a car horn beep then.  "Oh that's
Barry now.  You three behave yourselves."

"We will mum!"  The three of them chorused as Penny left the house.

"Now Lion, we just want you to sit in the parlour until we get everything
ready for you.  Is that alright?" Scott asked.

"Of course.  Listen cubs, are you sure you both want to do this?"

"Yes Lion, it means a great deal to us.  We love you and we need to show
you how much we value you."

"I already know that."

"Yes Lion we're sure you do, but the ritual kind of makes it more binding."

"Okay cubs get on with it then."

Scott and Danny scampered upstairs.  Chris sat himself down on the sofa.
He was deeply touched, and more than a little nervous about the events that
were to follow.

Chris was a dominant man, but with this came a deep caring.  He was always
ultra aware that he could go too far too fast, and crush Danny and Scott's
feelings in the process.  Although he had insisted on a promise from them
at the very start, that they would speak up if ever he got too
overpowering.  Chris wasn't sure if they would actually voice their
concerns for fear of hurting his feelings.  Chris's mind went back to his
GCSE English Literature course; a line of Shakespeare came into his
mind. 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown'. '

Chris loved both Scott and Danny totally; they owned him heart and soul.
He would quite willingly lay down his life to protect his charges if the
need should ever arise.  He revelled in their adoration of him, he got off
on the power that he held over them, he needed to be loved, and Scott and
Danny's eager willingness to give him their love unconditionally, made him
even more determined to do his utmost for them.

Equally Scott and Danny enjoyed giving their free will over to Chris.  They
needed a strong and stabilising force in their lives, they felt an
overwhelming warmth, a sense of peace and security in Chris's benevolent
power.  They needed someone to watch over and protect them.  The three of
them fulfilled a need in the other.

Finally Scott came back downstairs and announced "Lion your Cubs desire
your presence in your den."

Chris walked upstairs slowly, his heart was singing, his cubs were going to
show him how much they felt for him, and he would show them how much he
appreciated and needed their love.

As Chris opened the door to their room, he saw an examination couch had
been erected to one side of the big bed.  The latter had been shoved
against the wall to allow more room around the examination couch.  The
couch was covered in a towel, and Danny lay face down on it.

"Oh great Lion will you assist me in cleansing my brother Cub?" Scott said.

"It would be an honour to assist."

The first ritual, which had been planned down to the smallest detail,
including the dialogue, involved each member of the pride being sponged
with soap and water.  Then the other two members of the pride would rinse
them off.  This was meant to symbolise that all would be cleansed and all
were starting afresh from this moment on.  Chris realised the particular
significance of this part of the ceremony for Danny.  As it would mark the
symbolic washing away of all his past hurts, allowing him a fresh start in
a new and loving relationship.

Two buckets had been placed under the examination table.  Both contained
water, one also had a bar of soap and a couple of sponges floating in it.
The idea was to soap up the person on the couch using the sponges, then use
a couple of washcloths that were in the second bucket, to rinse away the
soap.  A mound of towels had been placed under the couch too, to dry off
the cleansed member once the ritual washing had been completed.

Scott and Chris began to sponge Danny's back.  They revelled in the
concavity of the wondrous curves of their lover.  The whole thing was
marvellously choreographed; the two Blake brothers seemed to work in
tandem, both performing the same action on opposite sides of Danny's body
at the same time.  Chris and Scott extended Danny's arms stretching them
out, gently trapping them between their upper arms and chests.  So allowing
them greater access to scrub his deltoids, his biceps and his triceps.
They cleaned out his pits.  Then they put his arms back on the couch and
sponged the rest of his arms and hands.  They moved to clean out his arse
crack, they massaged the gluteus muscles, working their way slowly and
reverentially down Danny's firm rugby player thighs.  They even cleaned
between his toes.

Exchanging the soapy sponges for washcloths, they repeated their actions as
they cleaned off the soap.  Danny was then instructed to turn over.  Not
unsurprisingly he had a raging erection, but Scott and Chris paid little
attention to it.  They lovingly washed his face, not using soap this time,
just the clean washcloths.  Then they sponged his neck, cleaning in the
hollow of his clavicles.  They sponged his pectorals, and moved down to his
flat almost washboard abs.

Danny's genitalia were handled, but only enough to clean them.  The fronts
of his legs were the last to receive the soaped sponges.  The whole thing
was repeated with non-soapy water.

Danny was then ceremoniously lifted from the couch by his lovers, and
reverentially towelled dry.  The significance of this ritual moved Danny to
tears.  He was crying softly as Chris and Scott rubbed him dry.  In a break
from the planned ceremony, Chris and Scott sandwiched Danny between them,
wrapping their arms around him.

Scott murmured in Danny's ear.  You are now cleansed of all the hurt and
pain in your past my beautiful brother cub."

Once Danny's emotions had settled again, he took the buckets of dirty water
and returned with clean ones.  It was Scott's turn to be washed.  Chris and
Danny performed pretty much the same actions on Scott, as had been done on
Danny.

Finally it was Chris's turn.  This, not unsurprisingly took a little longer
than the other two parts of the ceremony had done.  Chris was a little
larger than the others, but Scott and Danny took particular delight in
being able to caress their lion's firm muscled frame, both were
particularly awed by his six-pack abs.  Once the cleansing of Chris had
been completed, he took the buckets of water into the bathroom.

The most solemn part of their ritual was about to begin.  The spiritual
bonding of their three souls into one.  Chris walked back into the bedroom
to find Danny and Scott on their knees with their heads bowed.  Chris felt
a little thrill run through him seeing his two lovers in such submissive
postures.

In order to get the words correct, a cue card with the agreed upon words
was placed on the examination couch for Chris to refer to.  Chris stood in
front of Danny and Scott.  He placed a hand on each of their heads, and
began to speak.  "Oh cleansed cubs do you willingly agree to enter this
pride with the lion Chris as your leader?"

"We beg to be allowed to join the pride."  Both replied together.

"Do you accept me as your lion and your leader?  Will you allow me to make
decisions on your behalf, knowing that those decisions are made for the
good of the whole pride?"

"We accept you as our lion and our leader."  They responded.

"As your lion I swear that I will guide you to the very best of my ability.
I promise to protect you with all that I am and all that I own.  I promise
to love and cherish you."

"Thank you for your solemn promises oh great and wise lion."

Chris then lifted each one of his cubs to their feet.  They stood facing
each other in a triangle.  Each lifted their right arm and placed their
hand over the heart of the person standing to their right.

Chris began to speak again.  "May our hearts beat as one, may our souls
live as one.  This triangle is now joined forever, let no one break the
bond."

"I solemnly swear to cherish our bond."  Scott said. Then Danny repeated
the promise, and Chris swore the same.  The three men then hugged and
kissed each other.

A brief interlude from the ceremony had been agreed upon at this point.

"My beautiful cubs, we belong to each other now."  Chris said.

"It was very moving."  Danny admitted.

"Yeah for me too."  Scott echoed.

"My cubs, you didn't put this in the ceremony because you won't have
thought about it, but it is possibly the most important thing to bear in
mind."

"Oh?"  Scott said, Danny also looked puzzled.

"Although I'll always do my best for my cubs, I may occasionally make a
wrong decision, I'm bound to make mistakes.  What I'm asking of you two is
that you please consider forgiving me for making those mistakes.  I won't
have erred out of thoughtlessness nor will I have set out to hurt you, but
sometimes you may get that impression."

"We know that you'll never intentionally hurt us, of course we will forgive
you, so long as you love us if we too make a mistake."  Scott said after a
brief look at Danny for his approval.

"Thank you my cubs.  Of course I will forgive your mistakes so long as you
admit that you were truly sorry for making them."  Chris then reflected on
what was scheduled to happen next.  The third and final section of the
ceremony was the physical bonding of the trio.  Danny and Scott had asked
Chris to consummate their bond by having anal sex with them.

Whilst Chris had wanted to do this for some time, he had always hesitated,
knowing that in order for it to be fully consensual, they would have to
raise the subject.  Chris felt that if he had suggested it, they would
naturally go along with him, just to please him.  Chris was fully aware of
the horrors that Danny had faced in the home, and he couldn't face the idea
of leading Danny down a path that would cause him more pain.  Danny had
assured his lovers that his negative HIV test had been done well over a
year after his last possible exposure to the virus, so he told the group
that he wouldn't put them at risk.  Equally Chris had remembered Scott's
concerns over having anal sex.  Chris felt duty bound to query again their
willingness to take this third step.

"Look guys, I'm going to ask you again.  Are you sure you want to do this
last bit?  I know we've been together a few weeks now, but if you're not
ready, then we must wait.  I will not agree to something that you two
aren't fully ready for."

"No Lion, I want to do it, there is no better time than now."  Scott said.

"You can't be the first person to have sex with me Lion I'm afraid, but I
want us to join physically as well."

"Cub Danny, I am your first, we have just washed away all the past haven't
we?"

"Yes Lion." Danny said quietly as he looked at the ground.

"I'm honoured that you have agreed to take this step Cub, I know it isn't
easy for you."  Chris said to Danny.

"It's just when anyone fucked me in the past, it always hurt, they weren't
interested in giving me pleasure, all they wanted to do was to get off."

"Oh sweet one, as we told you before I will never ever 'fuck' you.  Scot
and I will make love to you.  And you will do the same for us."

Danny was a little taken aback.  He felt he had to clarify something.  "You
mean I will top you sometimes?"  This hadn't figured in Danny's plans at
all.

"Of course precious one, we are in love with each other aren't we?  We are
equal partners in this.  I would be honoured for either of you to show your
love to me by being on top."

Scott was a little surprised too.  He naturally assumed that because Chris
was the dominant one in the relationship, he would always be on top.  But
then he recalled the number of times Chris had stressed how they were,
despite their differences, all equal.

"Oh lion I love you so much."  Scott said.

"I love you two guys as well my precious cubs."

The ceremony resumed.  Danny raised his arms and wrapped them around Chris.
Chris picked him up and carried him over to the bed reverentially laying
him down on it.  Chris then picked up Scott and arranged him on top of
Danny so they were chest to chest.  A week prior to the ceremony they'd
flipped a coin to determine who should be made love to first.  It was a
decision Chris refused to make, so everyone had agreed to abide by the
ancient method of deciding by choosing 'heads or tails.'

Danny had won the toss, but in a surprising move he declined his right to
go first.  "Chris, I have loved you for more than a couple of years now.
I've wanted you to make love to me for almost as long.  However, I know
that Scott has been in love with you, well basically forever.  So I think
it's only right that he be the first to receive your love."

The others had been stunned by Danny's generous offer.  Scott hugged Danny
fiercely after his declaration.

In order to make things much easier on Scott and Danny, ever since the
ceremony had been scheduled, Scott and Danny had practiced opening each
other up.  Chris thought that they would both want to go a little further
as they did this, so he gave his permission for them to make love with each
other should they wish to.  However, both cubs decided that they wanted
their lion to be their first, so they held back from putting anything else
other than their fingers in their anuses.  Chris had been deeply touched by
their willingness to abstain.

Danny lay beneath Scott on the bed; Scott lay face down, with his legs over
the side of the bed.  Danny had told them that although it would be nicer
to make love face to face, for the first few times, it would be much less
painful for the bottom if they did it doggy style.  Not wanting to cause
his lovers any pain, Chris insisted on making love that way.  At first
Scott said he wanted to look up at his lion as he made love to him, but
Chris was unwavering.  He also said that being face down would mean that
Danny could be underneath Scott, and so be more involved in the lovemaking
process.  That idea appealed to Scott, and Danny was touched that he
wouldn't be totally excluded from the lovemaking experience.

Chris began to open up Scott with one lubed up finger, He'd never done this
before, Scott and Danny had insisted that the cubs do the preliminary
preparations only.  They didn't think they could hold back if Chris did it.
However, Chris had done his homework, and he took things slowly and gently,
causing little or no discomfort to Scott.

Whilst Scott was being loosened up, Danny was softly stroking Scott's hair
and whispering words of encouragement to him.  Scott was a little
apprehensive if the truth were known.  Chris wasn't exactly small, however
Scott wanted Chris to finally make love to him, he had never wanted
anything more than to be joined with his big brother.

After Chris had inserted three greased fingers, and got Scott as loose as
he thought necessary, Chris withdrew his fingers, lubed up his super hard
dick, and placed it at Scott's opening.  "Are you sure about this little
brother?"

"Do it Lion, make me yours."  Scott's voice quavered slightly he was
nervous, but excited.  Danny's urgings to Scott increased.  He told him to
push out as if he were taking a dump.  Scott tried the best he could to
relax down there.  The head of Chris's penis breached the opening.  Scott
felt a sharp but fortunately short-lived pain.  Danny was so in tune with
Scott's emotions that he wrapped his arms around his brother cub and gave
him a deep kiss on his lips to try and distract him.

Meanwhile Chris held himself totally still.  He hoped that Scott wouldn't
ask him to pull out, because Chris knew it would have taken a superhuman
effort for him to do that.  Chris found it very difficult to describe his
emotions at that point.  He held very still because he didn't want to hurt
Scott, equally he felt if he moved, it would send him over the edge.

A few moments later Chris felt Scott relax again, Chris's own desires had
retreated from the precipice too.  Slowly, ever so slowly, Chris resumed
his entry.  Danny urged Scott to relax, Chris pulled back slightly every
now and again then he would ease back in, but go in a little further each
time.

Scott was feeling very full.  He felt an urge to shit, but of course there
was something coming in, rather than going out of his chute.  Finally Chris
hit bottom.  Scott had never felt as full before in his life, he had also
lost his erection.  Danny called out to Chris to "hold still for a bit."
Chris had to anyway because he felt pretty close to the edge again.
Chris's dick had never before been treated to such a tight, warm and wet
experience.  It was fantastic.

Soon Scott relaxed again and Chris pulled out a couple of inches, then
slowly moved back in.  He repeated the in-out motion a few more times
increasing the length of the strokes.  Chris gradually built up a steady
rhythm.  Chris was having the time of his life.  He'd tried to imagine what
it was like to make love to another man, but the reality was far better
than any of his imaginings.

Scott was experiencing some pretty wonderful feelings too.  He enjoyed the
seeming helplessness of being on the bottom, although he did push back
against Chris a few times trying to get more of the latter's pole into him
on the in strokes.  Chris managed to rub against Scott's prostate every so
often, this caused wondrous electrical sensations to course through Scott.
"Breed me Lion, make me yours."  He found himself saying.

The words encouraged Chris to make his strokes more powerful.  At some
level in his brain Chris realised that he could do his partner harm by
being so rough, but that part of his brain wasn't in command at that
moment, Chris pounded away at his brother's arse.  At such a speed, Chris
couldn't last long.  He felt a deep churning inside him as he was drawn
inexorably towards his climax.

Danny had reached under Scott and despite the confined space; he manually
stimulated his brother cub into orgasm.  This caused Scott's arse muscles
to contract.  The tightening around Chris's thrusting pole hurled Chris
over the precipice.  Chris held his penis deep in Scott's guts as he fired
his semen deep inside his brother.  Chris had never felt such overwhelming
joy, such a sense of having achieved something truly utopian; he collapsed
exhausted onto Scott's back.

Barry had taken Penny for a day out into the countryside.  After a nice
meal in a village pub, they decided to go for a walk.  Luckily Barry had an
umbrella in his car as it had started to rain softly.  So sticking to the
metalled roads in the village, the two went for a gentle stroll to walk off
their lunch.

Barry saw the entrance to a park coming up on their right.  He steered
Penny towards it.

"There might be somewhere we can get a bit of shelter for a few minutes."
He told Penny.

"Yes okay, though this rain isn't particularly hard, and the umbrella seems
to be keeping us fairly dry."

Penny was having a lovely time.  Barry was a very interesting man.  He
seemed to hold pretty similar views to her own.  They'd enjoyed a wide
ranging discussion in the pub, Penny felt very comfortable in Barry's
presence.  They had to walk close to one another to get the benefit from
the umbrella.  Penny was thrilled when Barry loosely wrapped an arm around
her waste.  She moved in a little closer to him too.  Penny greatly missed
the close physical contact of another man.  George had always been a real
cuddler.

Seeing a bandstand ahead, they both moved towards it.  Barry went up the
few steps first and helped Penny up the slightly slippery stairs.  He
guided Penny to sit on the side rail.  He grew very nervous at this point.
He'd planned what he wanted to say, he even thought about writing it all
down so he wouldn't miss anything, but that would have looked so forced.

"Penny, we've known each other for a long time now haven't we?"

"Oh yes Barry, we seem to be the mainstays on the committee."

"Yes, but what I mean is you were very kind to me when my Rose was taken,
and then when I lost Abigail too."

"Well I knew a little of what you were going through.  I thankfully didn't
lose Scott or Chris, but I knew what it was like to lose a partner."

"Yes."  Barry took a deep breath.  "Penny I should have done this a long
time ago, but oh, I somehow felt as though I would be unfaithful to Rose's
memory.  Penny I've admired you for a long time.  You are a lady, you are
kind, witty, gentle and, oh heck, I think loving too."  Barry was very
old-fashioned; there was only one position he could adopt to ask his next
question.

Penny's heart was starting to beat a little faster, she was fairly certain
of what Barry was about to do.

Barry got down on one knee.  "Penny would you pay me the greatest honour
and agree to be my wife?"

Penny's heart swelled, she was right, Barry was proposing.  She'd missed
having a man in her life; she had pretty strong feelings for Barry, which
began when she helped him deal with his grief over losing his family.
However, Barry never seemed to have reciprocal feelings for her, so she
allowed her own desires to die down.  However, when Barry began to take an
interest in her again, those old feelings stirred once more and began to
grow and become stronger.

"Yes, yes Barry I would love to marry you."  She smiled down into his
expectant face.

"Thank you."  He couldn't think of anything else to say.  He got back up
and took Penny into his arms and they kissed, sealing the agreement.

* * * * *

Scott had begun to cry.  He'd never before experienced such overwhelming
joy, what he'd wanted and dreamed of for so long had finally come to
fruition.  Although at first he'd worried about the possible pain involved,
he had just realised that the slight amount of pain was as nothing in
comparison to the wondrous feelings of elation at being made love to in the
physical sense.

Chris had come round from his post-coital euphoria.  He raised himself off
of Scott and he lifted a quietly sobbing Scott from Danny.  Spinning him
round in his arms Chris said. "Oh Scott I'm so sorry I was too rough.  I
promised you two that I'd never hurt you, and I go and do it."  Chris was
mortified that he'd allowed his baser instincts to take over from his more
rational brain.

"Chris, my beautiful lion.  Don't apologise, I loved it.  I urged you on.
I pressed myself back into you and met your thrusts.  It was the best and
most beautiful feeling I've ever had."

"Are you sure sweet one?"  Chris looked directly into Scott's eyes trying
to determine if he was just saying the words to appease his big brother.
However, all Chris could see was total love and devotion.  "Oh my beautiful
cub.  I love you so much."  Chris gave Scott a long passionate kiss on the
lips.

Danny, if he were being truthful, was feeling a bit left out.  He knew he
had his chance to be first, but he did the right thing and gave up his
place to Scott.  It was great being underneath Scott, having his body
rubbed against him.  Seeing the tender moments that Chris and Scott were
enjoying disturbed Danny though.  Chris had warned him that he would have
to rest before making love with Danny.  Danny had insisted that he could
understand that, however, Danny wasn't so sure now.  He wanted Chris in the
worst way possible.

Chris noticed that Danny was beginning to struggle with his emotions.  It
always amazed Chris that he was often able to read Danny so well.  It gave
Chris comfort that they had such a bond.  However, Chris was anxious to
soothe Danny's fears as quickly as he could.

Chris got onto the bed and urged Danny to lie next to him.

"I love you just as much my cub.  Please don't get upset.  I want to make
love to you, we will very soon.  I want to do my very best for you, so I
will ask you to wait a few more minutes.  Is that alright precious one?"

"Yes Lion, I was feeling a bit silly."

"No beautiful one."  Chris kissed Danny on the lips.  "You weren't at all.
In the future we'll have to devise ways where we can all be active
participants in our love making."

"Thanks Lion."

Scott had paid a brief visit to the bathroom, but on his return he hugged
Danny too, and told him that he was glad of his help during the early
stages of Chris's penetration.

"He's got quite a pole on him you know.  I'll help you when he starts
putting it in you."

"Thanks brother cub."  Danny was alright now.  He just needed a little bit
of reassurance that he hadn't been forgotten.

* * * * * *

"Harder Lion!"  Danny urged Chris.  Danny had swapped places with Scott,
and was now receiving his idol's love, and it was fantastic, it was nothing
like the horrible things he'd had to endure at the home.  Danny knew that
Chris's every movement was done out of love, and a sense of trying to
achieve mutual pleasure.  And what pleasure!

"Oh Danny I can't hold on for much longer!"  Chris panted as he galloped
towards another climax.

"Come in me Lion, breed me.  Give me all you've got you rampant stud!"

Chris bellowed out his triumph as he shot his load inside his lover.

Scott wasn't idle during all of this.  He'd been busy calming Danny down
during the early stages.  Despite his desires to mate with Chris, Danny
couldn't quite banish all the previous times when such activities hadn't
been pleasurable affairs, Danny fought on though, and he was glad that he
had.  For as soon as Chris had reached bottom for the first time, it was as
if all his old hurts had been pushed out.

Chris collapsed on the bed.  Bloody hell!  You two cubs will be the death
of me."

Danny and Scott arranged themselves around their lion and cuddled up to him
kissing and licking him in gratitude.  They told him by their words and
their actions that they loved him totally.

Epilogue

A shaft of autumn sunlight lit up and warmed the entrance to the ancient
Elizabethan church as Penny emerged on her husband's arm.  To the
accompaniment of a peal of bells, Chris, Danny and Scott threw confetti
over the happy couple.

Penny had asked Chris if he'd give her away.  Chris was delighted to do so.
He joked with her that 'Scott and Danny would make lovely bridesmaids'.
The latter two took delight in exacting their revenge for their lover's
remark.

Chris woke up the next morning and found himself tied to the bed by four
ropes, the other ends of which were tightly fastened to the bedposts. Scott
and Danny proceeded to bring Chris close to orgasm several times, however,
they always stopped their ministrations just before their lion climaxed.
Chris's demands that he was the dominant one and not them, didn't cut any
ice.  Eventually he apologised for his comments.  Scott and Danny accepted
the apology and brought Chris to a bed-shaking climax.  His long held back
juices squirted all over his chest.  Chris was then untied and his cubs
licked him clean.

Scott and Danny acted as ushers at the wedding.  Uncle Jim put in an
appearance too.  He came over to the three brothers after the service, and
asked for their forgiveness for his unreasonable attitude.  Although he
came to accept them, they never regained the same comfortable uncle-nephew
bond.

Penny went to live with Barry in his comfortable house.  Chris came into a
fairly large sum of money on his twenty-first birthday.  Penny had set some
money aside for her children from the compensation she received following
George's death.  Chris used the money to make some improvements in the
house, which he now owned.

When Danny became eighteen, his first action as a legal adult was to
arrange for his surname to be changed from Wilson to Blake.  "I am now your
brother in name too."  He told a delighted Chris and Scott.
