Positions

Xander and Riley lay asleep in bed, the younger man´s arm wrapped around the ex–commando´s body. The Initiative had fallen four months ago, and only Xander knew how hard it was on Riley. The older man missed the team he´d thought of as a family, the sense of knowing he was working for his country, but most of all he missed the discipline, the clarity of following orders without wanting or needing to know the reasons behind them. Xander might not exactly be his Commanding Officer, but he damn well took to the part like a duck to water.

Riley had long since submitted to Xander, following every order and command he was given in private, maintaining an image of a more conventional relationship in front of their friends.

Xander woke first, smiling down at his boyfriend. "Soldier, one hundred push ups!" Xander commanded, jolting Riley out of his sleep.

It took a few seconds for the order to seep into Riley´s sleep–ailed brain, but once it did, he immediately climbed out of bed and began his push–ups.

Riley made it half way through his push–ups before he stopped, stood, and walked over to Xander, who was beginning to dress. "Xan?"

Xander frowned, knowing Riley would have a good reason for breaking from their role–play. "Yeah, baby?"

Riley shifted on the balls of his feet nervously, his hands fidgeting. "Look...I know we´ve been doing this role–playing thing since I left the Initiative...but is there any chance...I mean, can we...make it permanent?"

That took Xander by surprise. Sure, they´d spent most of the last four months with Riley as the submissive, but he´d always thought that Riley would grow out of that need, but obviously not. And frankly, the idea of having Riley completely submissive to him, permanently, was his fantasy come to life. But it wasn´t just about their sexual fantasies. If Riley were serious, then they´d have to figure out what they´d do about other areas of their lives. "You´re serious? Really serious?"

Riley nodded, not sure if he should appear eager or embarrassed. "Yeah, it´s kinda...y´know. I like it."

Xander sighed, wiping a hand through his hair. "This is about more than liking it. We´re talking 24/7 for the rest of your life. Can you do that?"

"I know I can. It´s what I want." Riley searched for the words to describe his need. "I need this. I feel...right when I´m like that.

" Xander quietly nodded as he cupped Riley´s face. "I understand, but I need time to think about this, ok? I´ll be back tonight."

With that, Xander left the apartment.

Most of the day had gone by before Xander walked back into the apartment, finding Riley cooking in the kitchen. Xander wrapped his arms around Riley´s waist, pulling the ex–soldier close. "I love you, and that won´t change no matter what position you´re in." Xander leaned in and kissed his lover sensually, stroking Riley´s arms.

Riley turned so he face Xander. "I know that, and I love you too. If you´ve got any doubt about this, then we don´t do it."

"I need to know how serious you are about this. Do you mean just in bed? Or everywhere we go? Kneeling beside me, curling up against me when we watch TV?" Xander´s fingers lightly stroked Riley´s muscular arm as he talked.

"I want what we´ve had for the last four months, just permanent." Riley blushed with embarrassment as he continued. "And maybe you could be a little more forceful."

Xander grinned. "You like that, huh baby?"

"God yeah, I wouldn´t, hell couldn´t, do this with anyone else." Riley mirrored Xander´s grin.

They stood like that for minutes, holding onto each other, until Xander broke the silence. "There are gonna be times when I just want my boyfriend back, ok? Not that I don´t want you like that, submissive I mean, but like when things are particularly rough I don´t want to have to deal with telling you what to do, right?"

"I get it. So, you´re ok with it?" Riley looked down at Xander with a hopeful look in his eyes.

Xander smiled. "Yeah, I´m more than ok with it." Xander´s hand found Riley´s waistband. "New rule: No clothes in the apartment."

Riley obeyed immediately, surprised at how quickly Xander implemented his control. "Yes, Sir." The ex–commando huskily said, as he pulled his t–shirt over his head, revealing his defined chest.

Xander ran his hands over Riley´s chest and stomach, his index finger dipping into Riley´s bellybutton, as he knew the older man loved that feeling.

Riley resisted the urge to just stand and enjoy the feeling, knowing that he still wasn´t naked. Bending slightly, Riley pulled off his khaki´s, revealing his flaccid penis, which Xander wasn´t happy to see.

"Why aren´t you hard?" Xander asked sharply, his fingers twisting Riley´s nipples as painfully as he knew Riley could take it. "Make yourself hard, now!" Xander barked the last word, leaving Riley in the kitchen as he retrieved something from his jacket. He grinned as he heard Riley´s balls slapping against his thighs as his lover urgently stroked himself to hardness.

Seconds later, Xander returned holding the small box, happily noticing that Riley was indeed hard. "Stop."

Riley did, wishing he could comment on Xander´s obvious nervousness at this point.

"I don´t know about you, but I´m in this relationship for the long run. I mean the whole happily ever after thing, even if we decide to stop this." Xander gestured at Riley, obviously meaning his submissiveness. So I got this." Xander opened the box to reveal a silver cock ring with a small padlock attached.

Riley glanced at the cock ring, and looked back at Xander. "Can I say something?" Xander nodded. "I´m in this for the long run too. I want this for...y´know, ever. I want to belong to you forever, and that cock ring is beautiful."

Xander ran his hands over his eyes, determined not to tear up, so he focused on taking the cock ring out of the box. "I´m always going to wear the key to this around my neck." Xander pulled out the key, which rested on a simple silver chain. "I´m going to put this cock ring on you, and from now on I control when you cum. Forever."

"Forever. Sir." Riley whispered the title, obviously fighting back his own tears. "I love you."

"I love you too." Xander smiled shakily, brushing a stray tear from Riley´s cheek with his thumb. "You don´t ever try to take this cock ring off, and you don´t ever try to hide it. I mean it, not in the changing rooms, nowhere."

Riley wondered at Xander´s strong insistence not to hide the cock ring, but quickly noticed the reason. Engraved on the outside of the ring was Xander´s name, with ´Property Of´ in a small font above his lover and Master´s name. Riley shivered with desire. "I understand, Sir." Xander quickly attached the cock ring, flicking the padlock, which hung directly below the base of Riley´s cock.

"Got another rule. I want you lubricated all the time, so I can bend you over the couch, or the kitchen table and fuck you whenever I want." Xander kept his voice controlled and even, while Riley´s had raised an octave.

"Yes, Sir." Riley smiled shyly and walked into the bathroom, almost tripping in surprise when Xander squeezed his ass hard, the simple action giving Xander thoughts about how they might arrange their more permanent lifestyle.

Xander followed Riley into the bathroom, finding his boy already bent over and lubricating himself. "Another rule. You never close a door in this apartment, you have no privacy."

Riley looked abashed, but didn´t stop fingering himself. "Sorry, Sir. I didn´t think."

Xander saw a chance and went for it. Grabbing hold of Riley´s hand, Xander roughly worked his boy´s fingers into Riley´s body and out again. "Come on, give it some damn effort."

Riley immediately took on Xander´s pace and tried to keep his grunting at the slight pain to a minimum. "Sorry Sir."

Xander stood back and enjoyed the show, a smug look across his face. Three minutes later Riley was lubricated and then some, but knew his Master was enjoying seeing him finger fuck himself. "I´m going to find you a job, Ri. I don´t want you lying around here every day. " Xander added with a small grin.

Xander watched for another full minute before speaking. "You´ll give your new bosses my bank account details, and I´ll give you an allowance every week, depending if you´ve been good or not."

Riley felt his cock twitch at the thought of being such a kept man. He admitted, only to himself, that he had some doubts about this lifestyle, and granted he´d only been at for all of half a hour, but even knowing that the money he was going to work for wouldn´t be his turned him on. "Yes, Sir."

Xander continued. "I´m not going to force this one onto, it should be your own choice. All you´ve trained for is being in the military, right?"

Riley nodded his agreement.

"I want you to think about taking a college course or something, maybe in I.T. I know you like that." Xander noticed Riley´s hand gently touching his cock. The submissive ex–commando probably didn´t realise he was doing anything wrong, until Xander swatted at his hand. "I own that cock, if you need to touch it, you beg for permission. "

Riley immediately assumed his default position; hands clasped behind his back, legs apart, head up. Riley barked his reply, knowing the traditional army reply never failed to turn Xander on. "Sir, Yes Sir!"

The elder man spent the rest of the night kneeling between Xander´s legs, while Xander idly watched television, sucking on his lover´s cock. Xander came in Riley´s mouth two hours later.

Riley had finished a two–hour session in the local gym, at Xander´s order, with Graham and both men had just showered.

"So I´m gonna guess you miss it as much as I do." Graham muttered quietly, grateful when the last other occupant of the changing rooms left.

Riley frowned as he dried his hair. "Should I know what you´re talking about?"

"Don´t play dumb with me, you know damn well I check you out every time we shower and I saw the ring." Graham said with a grin. "Xander?"

"Yeah." Riley whispered, keeping his gaze from his friend. "Is it the same with you? You need the discipline?"

"How do you think I got the bruises?" Graham replied flippantly, gesturing at the marks on his back. "They´re nothing serious, but I met a few guys at a club, we went into the back and things got rough. Best fucking come I´ve had in ages though."

Riley laughed at Graham´s easy–come–easy–go attitude. "It´s like that with Xander. Not the roughness, but the great sex. And everything else. It´s like being a Top comes naturally to him. He´d love to have a shot at you too."

Graham turned from his locker. "You serious?"

"I´d have to clear it with Xander, but yeah, if you´re up for it."

Riley walked into the apartment, Graham behind him. Xander walked out of the bedroom. "Hey, baby." Xander was leaning against Riley´s body in seconds, grabbing a hold of Riley´s cock ring. "Does he know about that?" Xander whispered, obviously meaning the cock ring and Riley´s submissiveness.

"Yes, Sir." Riley proclaimed, loud enough for Graham to hear. "Graham´s here because he´s like me Sir. He misses the discipline, and has been going around bars to find men to dominate him, Sir."

Xander quirked an eyebrow, noticing that Graham was also in a submissive position, his hands behind his back and his head bowed. "Riley, you know the rules about clothes in the apartment." Xander walked past Riley, and stood in front of Graham. "So, you like being told what to do, huh? Like being bossed around?"

Graham kept his eyes on the ground, but the mere sound of Xander´s voice caused his dick to harden. "Yes, Sir!"

"Tell me why you´re here, Graham." Xander said calmly, putting emphasis on Graham´s name.

Again, Graham didn´t move, though he desperately wanted to watch Riley undressing. "I saw Riley´s cock ring and he filled me in on his relationship with you, Sir. If things go well today, I´d like to join you Sir!"

That took Xander, and Riley, by surprise. Not able to think of a reply, Xander turned to Riley. "Undress him." Riley jumped to attention; the older man started by pulling Graham´s fleece over his head, exposing his chiselled chest. Xander immediately began running his hands over Graham´s chest, flicking at his nipples. Riley pulled down Graham´s pants, leaving his friend completely naked when he stepped out of them. "Decent cock." Xander noted as he held it in his hand, letting it drop into his head repeatedly. "If I decide to let you join us, you´ll never wear clothes in this apartment. For now, I´m prepared to give you a month trial. You´ll live here for that month."

Graham´s eyes widened in surprise, having honestly expected to be told ´Thanks, but no thanks´. "Thank you Sir, you don´t know what that means to me."

Xander smiled back, placing a soft kiss on Graham´s lips. "Go wait in the living area." Graham returned the smile shyly as he walked to the couch, kneeling by the side, waiting for Xander. "You..." Xander advanced on Riley; the younger man obviously playing into his role as Dominant, "...will make dinner for the three of us. When we´ve finished eating, you´ll go to the bedroom and prostrate yourself for punishment for bringing a friend home without permission."

Riley´s face fell. "Sorry, Sir. I didn´t think."

Xander took pity on his lover, as he pressed himself against Riley´s nude body. "No, you didn´t. But you know what? You´ve only been at this for real for barely a day, and I think you´re doing great, baby. "

Riley´s face broke out into a huge grin. "Thank you. Don´t know of anyone else who´d do this for me."

Xander shrugged. "It´s not just you, I *really* like this. I might´ve found my calling in life." Xander´s fingers traced Riley´s perineum, tickling his lover. "My little slut." Xander growled. "I´m gonna fuck you so hard tonight, and have Graham watch his friend beg me to touch him."

Riley groaned with desire, which heightened with Xander´s thumb circled his cock head.

"Get on with dinner, and I might let you come tonight." There was no teasing in the statement, and Xander left Riley in the kitchen to find Graham still kneeling by the couch. Someone´s trained him well, Xander thought. Xander sat on the couch, and patted his lap. "Lie on the couch and rest your head on my lap."

Graham jumped onto the couch, his head lying dangerously close to Xander´s tented trousers.

Xander ran his through Graham´s hair. "How long have you known Riley, Gray?"

"Since we were five, Sir." Graham replied, not daring to look Xander in the eyes.

Xander nodded, though Graham couldn´t see him. The younger man stroked Graham´s chest and whispered. "You don´t need to be scared of me, Graham. I can tell something happened to you, and nothing like that will happen here."

Graham nodded mutely, keeping his eyes on his bare feet.

"You ever think about my boy in a sexy way?"

Graham nodded again. "There was one time in college, we´d both just figured out we liked to be dominated and we found this guy, he went to the same college, but he had an apartment off campus, and he was about two years older than us. He was into S&M in a huge way."

Xander waited for Graham to continue, and frowned when he didn´t. "Is it a painful memory? Did he do something bad?"

Graham shook his adamantly, and raised his head, looking Xander in the eye for the first time since he´d walked into the apartment. "No, nothing like that. It´s just...can I tell you something without you telling Riley?"

Xander nodded as he stroked Graham´s forehead. "Of course."

"Thanks, Sir. So this guy, he loved to dominate. Kept me and Ri in cages when he wanted, had us doing his coursework, sometimes he shared us with his friends." Graham shook his head at Xander´s upset look. "No, no, we loved it. Still do, and I understand if you don´t want to go that far. But there was one day, a day when he wasn´t at his most kinkiest. Ri and I were kneeling in the shower, I was giving him head and Ri was cleaning his legs." Xander noticed Graham was lost in thought, as if his thoughts were just tumbling out of his mouth. "I don´t know what happened, I just saw Ri, his face dripping wet, so unbelievably beautiful and I realised I loved him."

Xander took in the news that another man was in love with his man in his stride, as his hands travelled down to Graham´s nipples and began playing with them. "Have you ever done anything sexual with each other?"

"No, Sir. Nothing past jacking off together when we were fifteen. " Graham answered truthfully.

"Do you want to?" Xander straightforwardly asked, smiling when Graham looked straight at him, completely surprised. "Riley!" Xander yelled, not waiting for an answer from Graham. "Sit up, spread your legs a little." Graham did, feeling a familiar flush through his body when Riley walked in, stark naked.

"Yes, Sir?" Riley asked, his head bowed.

Xander gestured at Graham, as if he needed to attract Riley´s attention to his very naked friend. "Kneel between Graham´s legs."

Riley nodded to signify he understood, even if the simple act struck him with childlike terror. It was obvious what Xander wanted him to do, but to suck off Graham? Sure, they´d seen each other naked more times than either of them could remember, touched each other a few times when they were young, served the same guy in college, but to actually suck his best friend off? Without realising he´d moved, Riley found himself kneeling between Graham´s knees, finding himself dangerously close to Graham´s erect penis, and incredibly turned on by the musky smell of his friend.

"Remember what it was like when he first kissed?" Xander asked needlessly, both men knew they´d never forget that kiss. Riley nodded. "I want you to kiss Graham like that."

"Yes, Sir." Riley swallowed nervously, as he leaned forward, making eye contact with his friend. Ever–so–softly Riley´s lips brushed over Graham´s, his tongue tentatively requesting access to the dark cavern of his friend´s mouth. Graham responded, opening his mouth slightly, letting Riley´s tongue in, massaging it gently with his own. Both men groaned as they made love with their tongues.

Xander watched his lover and Graham kiss so passionately, rubbing himself through his jeans. "Ri, you´re gonna suck your friend off, but you´ve gotta earn it. Gray, pull your legs up a little."

Riley pulled away, watching Graham lift his legs higher, exposing his perineum. "Lick him, Ri. Right between his ass and his balls. Make him harder so he can come in your pretty little mouth."

Riley´s voice wavered. "Yes...Sir." Riley buried his face in Graham´s groin, licking at his friend´s perineum.

"Ri...god, so good." Graham moaned, yelping when Xander twisted his nipple painfully.

"I didn´t give you permission to speak. Not another word unless you want to spend the rest of the day with Ri´s come soaked briefs gagging you." The two other men groaned at the imagery, and Xander chuckled lightly. "Ok, so I´ll do that to you one day, but not now."

Riley happily lapped at his best friend, until Xander ordered him not to neglect Graham´s balls. Graham moaned equally as happy, his teenage fantasies come to live, the man he loved servicing him. "Sir..." Graham groaned, desperately trying to get Xander to command Riley to suck him off.

Xander grinned as he took Graham´s hand in his own, squeezing it gently. "Riley, show your friend how I taught you to use your mouth. "

Riley flushed with embarrassment, catching Graham´s eye and smiled shyly before taking him into his mouth. Graham nearly yelled in pleasure, but he quickly remembered Xander´s orders. "Talk dirty to him, Gray. Tell him what you want him to do."

Graham´s mouth opened and expletives tumbled out as if they had been locked in, bursting to get out. "Shit, Ri...suck my cock, yeah...like that, take it in...fuck, look at that Ri, my cock sliding in and out of your pretty mouth...so fucking sexy..." Graham felt his orgasm build and a sense of urgency overwhelmed him. "Sir...please, I´m gonna come...please, Sir...let me..."

Xander took pity on Graham. Grabbing Riley roughly by his hair, Xander pulled his lover off of Graham´s cock. "Gray, jack your cock."

Graham did as he was told, furiously jacking off. Xander, still holding Riley by his hair, shoved his lover´s face in the direction of Graham´s come as he came, shooting his seed into his friend´s face.

Not giving either man a chance to recover, Xander pulled his pants down and carefully used his strength to throw Riley on top of Graham. Riley knew straight away what Xander was doing, and obediently spread his legs, his hands reaching down to pull his cheeks apart to allow his Master easier access to his body.

Xander slammed into his lover, very grateful he ordered Riley to keep himself lubricated at all times. Xander heard Graham groan, correctly guessing that his sensitive cock was being rubbed against Riley´s back. "That´s it, Ri...come on, baby...yeah, squeeze me, that´s it."

Riley did his best to bring Xander off inside him, fully aware that at the same time Graham was squashed beneath him, his friend´s cock rubbing against his back, probably leaving come trails. He also knew his best friend was really enjoying himself. "Sir! You feel so good...fuck!" Xander pounded into his lover, pleased to find Riley loved being treated so roughly. "Yeah...scream for me, boys!"

Both Riley and Graham obeyed, screaming with pleasure as Xander emptied himself into his lover with a cry that rivalled both of theirs combined. Xander pulled out of Riley and tucked his softening cock back into his pants. "Damn, Ri. You look like such a slut." The words were said with laughter, and were in fact true. Riley had come all over his face, on his back, and leaking down his legs. "You two go clean up, I´ll finish off the dinner."

Both men peeled themselves off of the couch and each other, huge shit eating grins plastered across their faces. "Yes, Sir." They both replied, making their way to the bathroom.

"You go first." Riley muttered, gesturing towards the shower.

Graham rolled his eyes, grabbed Riley´s hand and pulled him into the shower with him. "You´ve sucked my cock and got fucked on top of me. Even if I don´t stay with you guys, we´ve got another month of this. I think we can shower together."

"Yeah, good point." Riley chuckled lightly. "You´re really not embarrassed? I mean, its hot and all, but last time we did this we didn´t really...y´know, do anything with each other." Riley felt his muscles smoothen as the hot water pelted his skin, surprised when Graham ran a soapy sponge down his chest. Without thinking, Riley grabbed a sponge and began to return the favour.

"Nothing to be embarrassed about, especially after what we´ve shared in our lifetimes." Graham reached around Riley and began running the sponge over his friend´s back. "I told Xander about Sam earlier.

" That took Riley by surprise. "Oh. What did he say?"

Graham shrugged. "Not a lot. Took it in his stride. He´s a good man."

"He really is." Riley replied, groaning when Graham ran the sponge over his painfully hard cock. Everyone had had an orgasm apart from him.

"I think he might be thinking about stepping up his domination. He probably got some ideas from what I told him about Sam." Graham knelt slightly and began sponging clean Riley´s legs, stained with Xander´s come. "He got a hard on when I told him about the cages and when I told him Sam shared us with his friends."

Riley´s cock hardened even more, making him groan in pain and desire. "God, you´re killing me here."

"You were right. He wants it full time." Xander grinned as he spoke into the phone, keeping an eye on the dinner at the same time.

Willow squealed on the other end. "See! I told you!" The redhead scoffed. "As if I don´t know these kind of things."

Xander flipped a burger before continuing. "That´s not all. He bought a friend back from the gym. His best friend...who has the same *interests* as him."

Willow nearly fainted. "Oh my god! You lucky jerk! Wh...wait a sec. " Willow covered the phone with her hand. "Tara! No!"

Tara looked at Willow from her position on the bed, and realised what Willow was objecting to. She´d absent–mindedly began to touch herself. "Sorry, Mistress."

Willow turned her attention back to Xander. "I´m back. Tara was being bad. So...you´ve got a threesome."

"Possibly. Graham´s on a month trial. He said he wants to stay permanently too. It´s complicated."

"Why complicated? If you´re interested in him, go for it."

Xander sighed as he switched off the grill. "He´s in love with Riley. Has been for years."

Willow dismissed that immediately. "So what? Chances are that´ll make your relationship with both of them better."

Xander deliberated that piece of information. "That, and I could give you Graham for a night when I want to be alone with Ri. He´d get off on that, trust me. You should come over for dinner tomorrow, get to know Graham a little."

Willow laughed loudly. "Sure. I gotta go, Xan. Got a beautiful girl waiting for me." Willow hung up.

Xander laughed quietly to himself, as he served up the food. "Boys, out here now!"

Riley and Graham appeared from the bathroom immediately, their hair still slightly damp.

"Dinner´s ready." Xander proclaimed.

Both men walked quickly to the kitchen, where Graham made his first mistake of the evening. He sat at the table. Xander reached down and grabbed Graham´s cock in a painful grip. "You might only be here for a month, but I still own you. And my property doesn´t sit at the table. My property stays naked and lubricated so I can fuck it whenever I want. My property sits on the floor because my you´re not a man." Xander let Graham´s cock fall free. "Riley, get the handcuffs. "

Riley let without a word, headed for the bedroom where Xander kept the toys. Within seconds, he was back, holding a pair of stainless steel handcuffs. Xander led Graham by his cock to the banister by the window, and pushed the older man to his knees. Kneeling himself, Xander reached behind Graham and handcuffed the ex–commando to the banister.

Xander stood. "Are you sorry?"

Graham looked up at Xander, feeling every bit submissive. "Yes Sir...I didn´t think, I´ve just never been told that rule before...I´m sorry, Sir. Please, let me make it up to you."

Xander stood in front of Graham for two minutes without saying a word. "You´re forgiven. You´ll crawl everywhere." Xander began as he unlocked the handcuffs. "You´re the lowest person in this apartment. If I give permission to Riley to give you an order, you´ll do whatever he says. From now and until I say so, you serve both of us."

His hands unlocked, Graham stayed on his knees and kissed Xander´s feet. "Thank you, Sir. I understand."

Xander nodded at Graham. "Riley, heel." Riley appeared by Xander´s side, kneeling perfectly by Xander´s feet. "Graham is also your slave until tomorrow morning. Give him an order."

Riley floundered, not sure what to say until inspiration struck. "Slave, go to the table and prepare to feed our Master."

Graham groaned silently; this had been one of his private Riley related fantasies for years. Dipping his head, Graham kissed Riley´s bare feet also. "Yes, Sir." Both men watched Graham crawl to the table and wait patiently. "I mean it, you can dominate him. But just remember I´m the one with the key to your cock ring."

Riley grinned and placed a kiss on Xander´s cheek. "Thank you, Sir."

Later that night, Riley and Xander had climbed into bed while Graham stood sheepishly by the door. "I should...I mean, you two probably want...should I sleep on the couch or something?"

Xander held out his hands to Graham. "Even if you decide to leave in a month, you´re still part of us until then. Come lie next to me." Xander shifted across the bed, pressing his back against Riley´s body.

Graham climbed into the bed with a huge grin plastered across his face, facing Xander. "Thanks, Sir." Graham wrapped an arm around Xander, and took hold of Riley´s hand at the same time.

"Riley´ll wake you up tomorrow. It´s Sunday, so I won´t wake up until late. You´ll both go to the gym for three hours, then back here before three. You´ll have a few hours to meet up with some friends, do what you want. That´s your free time." Xander checked the alarm clock beside the bed. "It´s late, so I might not even be up before three tomorrow afternoon. Can you cook?" Xander asked, out of the blue.

Graham flustered, the question took him by surprise. "Um, yeah, kinda. I´m not exactly a chef though, Sir."

"Mistress Willow and her slave Tara are coming over for dinner tomorrow. You´ll be cooking."

Graham frowned slightly, not recognising the names. "Yes Sir." Graham grinned as he saw Riley´s light up at the mention of Willow and Tara. They were obviously happy memories.

Xander leaned forward with a mischievous grin, whispering dramatically. "Riley has a little crush on Mistress Willow." Riley cringed as he realised that his little crush was public knowledge. "She flirts with him all the time and he turns to jelly. Hasn´t got the slightest clue what to do or say. It´s so cute." Riley blushed, completely embarrassed. Xander turned his body and caught Riley´s embarrassed expression. "You honestly didn´t know we knew?"

Riley shook his head shyly. "You don´t mind, Sir?"

Xander stroked Riley´s cheek, and cupped his chin, making his lover look him in the eyes. "Of course not, I know who you love." Xander leaned in and kissed his lover–cum–slave.

After their three hours at the gym, Riley and Graham had decided to spend their free time together instead of meeting up with old friends. They´d decided to grab a mocha at the Espresso Pump, as it was too early for The Bronze to be open. "Did you like that? Yesterday?"

Riley glanced at Graham over his huge novelty cup. "Me having all that control over you? Hell yeah."

Graham fidgeted nervously, decidedly not looking Riley in the eyes. "I liked it too, but it should never have happened. I should know the rules, y´know? I mean, what if I screw up in front of this Willow? Xander´ll hate me and won´t want me to stick around."

Riley reached across and took Graham´s hand in his own, unaware that the simple action caused Graham´s heart to skip a beat. "He won´t hate you, he´s not like that. He´ll punish you, yeah, but he won´t hate you, and he doesn´t expect you to know all the rules."

"But I should know the rules. We spent the better part of four years with Sam. I´ve been without a Master for, what, three years and I´m fucking it up, Ri." Graham looked up, his eyes full of sorrow. "I could really be happy with you guys."

Not thinking about what he was doing, Riley leaned forward and kissed Graham slowly, and squeezed his friend´s hand at the same time. "No matter what Xander decides in a month, I´ll always be your friend. I promise."

Graham´s power of speech failed for him for a few seconds, but his mouth soon caught up. "You never used to kiss me before you blew me."

Riley grinned, then shrugged. "You seemed like you needed it. Come on, we better get back. You´ve got a dinner to cook."

Riley and Graham entered the apartment, and both grinned at Xander, who´d just woken up and looked like it, his hair sticking out in all directions, wearing only his white y–fronts, with an obvious morning hard–on. Xander looked up from his position on the couch, where he was watching early morning cartoons. "One of you get on your knees and get rid of this." Xander grabbed his bulge, a horny grin on his face.

Riley made it to Xander first and knelt between his Master´s legs, while Graham began to prepare for dinner. Both men had stripped when they entered the apartment. Riley lapped at the pre–cum, which was beginning to soak Xander´s briefs, and decided to take the initiative. "May I have permission to touch your beautiful cock, Sir?"

Xander looked down at Riley with a sneer across his face, but the look in his eyes softened his playful words. "Just blow me, you little slut."

Riley grinned, knowing Xander wanted to role–play a little, and pulled down his Master´s briefs, and took in Xander´s cock to the hilt, burying his nose in Xander´s pubic hair. He grinned around his Master´s cock when he realised he even loved Xander´s pubic hair; he himself having had every piece of hair on his body, except on his head, shaved, though the hair he did have was kept in a short trim. Xander had proclaimed that he loved the idea of Riley being smooth all over and Riley had happily laid back and watched his Master shave him.

Xander arched off the couch and loudly came in Riley´s mouth, and watched his boy swallow his seed. Riley licked Xander´s shaft clean and tucked it back into the briefs. "Go get my shower ready. Be a good boy and I might let you come tonight."

That promise alone put an extra bounce in Riley´s step as he made his way to the bathroom.

Xander walked to the kitchen and watched Graham prepare dinner. "I want you to know I wasn´t completely serious yesterday, about you sitting at the table. I mean, you won´t ever do that again, but I had your punished planned and I knew you wanted to submit to Ri."

Graham felt a smile creep across his lips as a flash of him kissing Riley´s feet entered his brain. "Thanks, Sir. I...well I loved it. I love him."

Xander moved closer to Graham and wrapped an arm around his waist. "I know you do."

Riley had cleaned Xander in the shower and two hours later Willow and Tara had shown up for dinner. Riley had been his usual goofy self around Willow, and had nearly fainted when Willow and taken him and Graham into the bedroom, leaving Tara alone with Xander.

Tara was nude, as were Graham and Riley in the bedroom, and was enthusiastically giving Xander his second blowjob of the day. She´d never been with another man before Xander, and had never imagined that she´d like it, but she was pretty sure it was Xander that made the experience enjoyable, not the fact that Xander was a man.

Graham and Riley were both spread–eagled on the king sized bed, Graham on the bottom, his cock inside Riley´s ass. Neither man could move, which was particularly agonising for Riley, as Willow was riding him while he still wore his cock ring, unable to come though his cock grew harder than it ever had before.

Willow screamed as she came for the fifth time, and pulled herself off of the men. "Nice to meet you, Gray. If you can, you can come. " Willow grinned as she left the room, and caught Xander coming in Tara´s mouth as she made her way back to the living room.

Xander pulled Tara off of him. "She´s getting good, Wills." Xander complimented Tara, patting her head at the same time.

Willow grinned as she next to her friend. "I see what you mean about Graham. I don´t see how Riley can´t see he´s totally in love with him."

Graham´s mind couldn´t get past the fact that he was inside the man he loved. Not only that, but he was thrusting into him as much as he could, which, with the restrains wasn´t much, but his cock didn´t need a lot more stimulation. "God, Ri...I´m gonna come in you...do you want me to? Tell me..."

Riley squeezed his muscles against Graham´s cock, and marvelled at the fact that he´d seen Graham naked millions of times over the years, they´d done plenty of sexual acts to another man in front of each other, but this was the first that one of them had been inside the other, and they were both loving it. "Yeah...come on, Gray...come in me..."

Graham thrusted, and took Riley´s weight on his own, and screamed his orgasm as he came inside his best friend and lover.

Riley moaned as he felt himself being cooled from the inside. "God Gray...I love you."

Graham froze. "You...you what?"

Riley frowned, though Graham obviously couldn´t see it. "You´re my best friend, of course I love you."

"Oh. Yeah, great." Graham muttered feeling utterly rejected.

Three and a half weeks later Graham had learnt most of the rules and hardly ever screwed them up. The three of them had fallen into a daily routine. Graham was the only one at home during the day, as Xander and Riley both had jobs. Xander divided Riley´s pay in half when it reached Xander´s own bank account and gave both his boys an allowance out of it.

Riley was always the first one home, and Graham followed Xander´s orders, which were to give Riley a shower when he came home, so Xander wouldn´t be repulsed by one of his lovers smelling like cooking grease.

During the day Graham performed the chores of a housewife. More often than not at lunchtime he received a call from Xander while usually led to him spread over the couch and fucking himself with whatever happened to be close.

A couple days a week, Willow came by during her classes. They´d talk, laugh and joke. They´d get serious whenever Willow would bring up Graham´s love for Riley; one time they´d gotten so far into talking about Riley that Graham hadn´t been able to stop the tears that had threatened to take over him since the day Riley had confirmed that they´d be nothing but friends. Sure, they served the same man, and would very likely perform sexual acts on one another, but they´d still be just friends. Willow had held him until his sobs subsided, and Graham had thanked her profusely, claiming that she was the only person he could talk to her about Riley, as Xander was too close to both of them. Willow left with the promise she´d be back the next day, for which Graham was very grateful.

Willow had, though, told Xander that Graham was suffering, so Xander made it a personal point to take Graham into the bedroom, away from Riley´s prying eyes, and made love to him, to try his best to take Graham´s mind of Riley´s unknown rejection of his best friend.

Xander laid on top of Graham, having just bought Graham off, his own sexual desire sated. "Doing any better today?" Xander asked the same question every day, and always brushed Graham´s floppy hair out of his eyes as he did.

Graham´s answer was always the same. A small shake of his head. "Can I...um, I really need to do something, but I don´t want you think that I don´t appreciate all your help or anything."

Xander frowned. "I know you do. Tell me."

Graham rolled his eyes as far back as they´d go, fighting back tears. "Sir, do you...I mean, the trial finishes in two days, do you want me? Permanently?" Graham laughed quietly. "Besides, I think Willow´ll take me if you don´t."

Xander shared Graham´s laugh, but quickly became serious. "I don´t take decisions like this lightly, you know that or there´d never have been a trial in the first place. You´ve wormed your way into my life, into my heart, and I want you with me for good."

Graham nearly erupted as the tension released from his body. "Thank you, seriously, thank you Sir! I can´t believe...I thought you wouldn´t..." Graham quickly quietened when he remembered he had something else to ask. "There was something else I need to ask, Sir."

"Ask away."

Graham fidgeted nervously. "This past month has been great with you and Ri, not some parts I´ll grant you, but I feel like I´ve got a home now, y´know? But it´s those parts that weren´t so great, the part with Riley...I need some time away from him, or I´ll end up resenting him for making me feel like this, and I really don´t want that." Graham sighed. "He might not love me, but I love him with everything I have."

Xander stared at Graham as if the man underneath him had sprouted wings. "You are so beautiful, you know that?" Xander trailed kisses along Graham´s throat. "You´re beautiful, and you´re hurting, and I hate that, so you take whatever you need, ok? As much time as you want, and go wherever you want. Just promise me you´ll come back. "

"I will, I promise. This is my home now, right Sir?" Graham looked up at Xander with pleading eyes. "I mean, you want me here, right? Even if Riley doesn´t?"

It was then it struck Xander how much Riley´s rejection had broken Graham. "Oh god, Gray, do you really think that? He loves you, it´s just not in the way you want it. And I´m always going to want you here." Xander sighed as he ran his hand through Graham´s hair. "Look, I want to show you that you belong to me and you´ll always have a home here, so I´ll get you a cell phone and I´m going to call you every day."

Graham let the knowledge that while Xander was letting him go, he was being kept on a leash, figuratively speaking. It felt good, knowing that Xander could let him deal with this emotional crap the way he needed and still let him know who he belonged too.

Xander pulled out of Graham and smiled kindly. "C´mon, we´ll get to the mall before it closes and get that cell phone."

Xander had meant to not take sides between his boys, but he found himself denying Riley his allowance and actually taking the dirty blonde man over his knee. Of course, though, both of those things added to Riley´s arousal. Along with the fact that he was forced to take on a lot more tasks than usual, and more than once he had woken up to find Xander fucking him like a paid whore. He was being punished for a reason he didn´t know, and it turned him on.

Riley also didn´t have a safe word and that turned him on too, especially as he´s laid naked over Xander´s knees and being spanked with Xander´s bare hand for coming up to a hour. "Please Sir, I´m sorry!" Riley desperately wanted the spanking to stop, though his cock seemed to disagree.

"What are you sorry for, Ri?" Xander asked, and brought his hand down on Riley´s red cheeks again.

Riley sobbed as pain racked through his body. "E...everything, Sir...please, stop..."

Xander did, and forced Riley to sit on his lap. "I love you, you know that." Xander sighed, having decided yesterday when he took Graham to buy the cell phone that he´d talk to Riley about what had happened. "Grahams leaving because of you."

Riley didn´t know what to feel at that statement, though shock was up there on the list. "Because of me? I thought he wanted some time with his family?"

"It´s not my place to tell you why. Follow." Xander ordered as he stood and walked into the bedroom where Graham was packing. "Gray, on the bed."

Graham sat on the edge of the bed obediently while he watched Xander order Riley to kneel and not to say a word until Graham was finished.

"Gray, you´re going to tell him." Xander placed a finger on Graham´s lips to silence him. "No arguments. I´ll tell him if you want me too, but one way or another, he´ll know before you leave."

Graham resigned himself to his fate and took Xander´s hand in his own. "Stay with me? Please Sir?"

Xander squeezed Graham´s hand comfortingly, nodded, and sat next to him.

Graham sighed and reached to Riley, brushing a loose strand of hair out of his eyes. "Ri, remember that time with Sam when we were in the shower, cleaning him?" Graham faltered. "Ok, that happened a lot but this time was about three years into the relationship. Something happened during that shower, nothing you or Sam noticed but it meant a lot to me. Still does."

Riley looked up at Graham, his eyes said the words his mouth wasn´t allowed too.

Graham didn´t falter as he looked Riley in the eyes and whispered the words he´d longed to tell Riley for years. "I love you."

Riley´s mouth almost comically fell open as the words penetrated his brain. "Love...love me? In a love kinda way?"

Xander couldn´t help but smile at Riley´s words, despite the tension that filled the room. Instead of commenting on Riley´s lack of coherent speech, Xander stroked Graham´s naked back supportively. "I´m proud of you." Xander whispered, and smiled again when Graham squeezed his hand in thanks.

"I love you, but you´ve made it clear that you don´t think of me that way, so I´m leaving." Graham´s gaze dropped from the object of his lover. "You´re it, Ri. Nobody else will ever compare."

Riley leaned forwards and cupped Graham´s head. "I love you, Gray, I do. Next to Xander, you´re the most important person in my life, but you´re not it for me. I´m sorry, I really am."

Graham smiled sadly, leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on Riley´s lips. "I thought I had to get away because I´d end up resenting you for making me feel like this, but that´d never happen." Graham laughed quietly. "I just need to get away from you for a while."

Riley cringed inwardly, as he took Graham´s need as a personal shot. "I´m sorry."

Graham shook his head. "Don´t be, I´ll be ok."

Riley nodded, then quickly took Graham´s free hand in an urgent motion. "You´re coming back, right?" Riley calmed himself, and turned to Xander. "I mean, Sir, have you given Graham permission to stay?"

Xander nodded, and stroked Riley´s cheek. "I did, he´s staying with us permanently when he gets back." Xander stood and ordered Riley to move out of the way, the ex–soldier moved to kneel at the end of the bed. Xander slowly unbuckled his belt and kept his eyes on Graham the whole time, silently telling his boy what to do.

Graham shuffled back on the bed and raised his legs as high as he could, exposing his asshole to his Master.

Xander stepped out of his hands and began to stroke his cock as he watched Graham spread himself. "Want me to fuck you, Gray? This is gonna be the last time ´till you get back. No–one else is gonna touch your dick, not even you, you know that? You wanna touch your dick when you´re gone, what do you do?"

Graham recited the order Xander had given him earlier. "No matter where I am, Sir, even in a public restroom, I´m to call you and beg permission to touch my cock." Graham whimpered as Xander ran his cock head over Graham´s ass crack and balls.

"Riley!" Xander yelled, not taking his eyes off of Graham. "On the bed, hands and knees, facing Graham."

Riley was on the bed in an instant, and took the position he was told.

"When was the last time I took that cock ring off to let you come, Ri?" Xander asked as he pushed into Graham.

Riley replied immediately. "Fourteen days ago, Sir."

Xander grinned cruelly as he sped up his thrusts into Graham. "You´ve got a choice now, boy. I can take that cock ring off and you can jerk yourself off, or–" Xander took hold of Graham´s cock, squeezed it hard, and waved it around, "– you can do what you do best and suck some cock. If you do that, the next time you come will be when Graham comes home and returns the favour."

Even though the thought of at least weeks without coming, especially with being denied an orgasm for two weeks already, frankly scared Riley to his core, but his answer was immediate. "Sir, may I have permission to suck Gray off?"

Xander nodded as he slammed into Graham with enough force to move the bed underneath them. Graham screamed as he was filled again; screamed again when Riley swallowed his cock to the base.

It didn´t take long for Xander to finish, yelling his orgasm as he coated Graham´s insides with his seed. Xander stroked Graham´s legs, getting his attention. "Show him you love him."

Graham nodded at Xander with a smile and took Riley´s hand in his own. The simple action made Riley look Graham in the eyes, and Graham mouthed simply ´I love you´ before he erupted into his best friend´s mouth.
