#10 of Dad Camp

Elliot takes a dive into the mysteries of the lake. He's really curious about the details of the camp as a whole now. He's also been invited on a date by an admirer. Will he accept?


Allen had apologized many times over. He felt so bad for breaking the tie on the doorknob rule. It took Elliot a while to calm him down. The lion should have known better. No one expected Elliot to actually do anything with how standoffish he was. That's why he was ok with Allen having walked in on him and Jiro last night. The wolf still felt bad this morning for having walked in on such a private moment for Elliot.

"I'm sorry El!" he said for the hundredth time, "We've all been waiting for you to loosen up and I totally invaded."

Elliot threw his pillow at him, "Oh man, get over it! I said I don't care!"

Luke was laughing at the both of them, "I...I'm just mad I d...didn't get to see!"

Elliot chuckled, "Maybe later."

Luke blushed, "I...I hope that's a p...promise."

"Hey now," said Allen as he laughed now, "You can't just leave me behind on that!"

Luke dropped down into Elliots bed. The lion wrapped his arms around him, "He's mine now," Elliot teased the wolf.

Allen huffed as he dived on the top of them. Luke let out a loud squeak as he got crushed between the two large males. "Nooo, you have your own," Allen laughed as the two of them wrestled the rat between them.

Elliot grinned at that thought, "Heh, I suppose I do in a way."

Luke cleared his throat, "C...can I have my b...body b...back? M...mostly cause my b...boner has run out of room."

Elliot released him. Sure enough, his shorts were tenting and straining to contain him. Luke blushed as he sat down on his bed and covered himself with a pillow. Elliot and Allen chuckled at him.

"Oh hu...hush," Luke chuckled.

"We're gonna have to crush you some more," Allen grinned evilly.

"Don't you dare" Luke said clearly, "N...not unless we...we're gonna do something with it."

Allen looked down at Elliot, "I dunno if he's ready yet."

Elliot blushed, "Hey now... Have you two been plotting?"

Allen grinned as he ruffled up Elliots mane, "I can not tell a lie. Yes."

Elliot chuckled as he batted the wolf's paws away, "Call me in a week when I've lost the rest of my sanity."

Allen winked at him, "Maybe this weekend."

"Something special going on this weekend?" Elliot asked.

"The whole camp typically goes out into the woods for a nature hike," Allen grinned.

"That sounds fun," said Elliot.

"A...and naked," said Luke as he pushed down on his pillow, trying to make his boner go away faster.

"Oh?" Elliot was curious, "Is naked to be expected?"

"That's why it's called a nature hike," Allen winked, "It's what spurred me to start being nude all the time. It's just so nice to be natural."

Elliot laughed, "Oh boy. This is gonna be so weird for me."

"J...Just expect a lot of ind...decency," Luke said.

"Somehow I'm not surprised," Elliot chuckled, he narrowed his eyes, "Wait... How indecent?"

"We can bring you a blindfold," Allen suggested.

"Some fairly r...raunchy things can happen," Luke blushed as he looked like he was flashing back to a memory.

"Just prepare yourself bud," Allen patted the lion on his shoulder.

"Hehe, alright," Elliot shook his head, "I'm using you as a shield though."

"So, uh, you ready for tomorrow?" Allen grinned.

"Oh yeah," said Elliot, remembering there is a couples competition, "I almost spaced that out."

"Me and Luke won't hold back," the wolf grinned.

"We won't either," Elliot chuckled, "What all is there usually?"

"Volleyball, three-legged race, relays, all sorts of things," said Allen, "Each section you'll be rewarded points based on performance. Whoever has the most points at the end, wins."

"Doesn't sound too tough," Elliot chuckled.

"D...Dirk and Zahir won last year," said Luke, "D...Dirk is a beast a...and Zahir is quick on his f...feet. They totally c...crushed us."

"Ugh, don't remind me," said Allen, "That bull totally stomped me in the shoulder run."

"Shoulder run?" Elliot was confused.

"Yeah, you have to put your partner on your shoulders and run a hundred yards," said Allen, "I was neck in neck with him, and then he got this second wind from nowhere and sprinted the last twenty yards. Left me in the dust."

Elliot looked down at his gut, "Shit... I'm in trouble then."

Allen laughed as he gave the lion belly rubs, "Don't you worry man. If you keep on top through most of the games, you could still end up in first. Dirk and Zahir placed first in three games last year, them winning the shoulder run clinched their victory."

"How many games do we play?"

"It's been six since we've been here," the wolf said, "It's always a random assortment of games. Always volleyball though. It's a crowd favorite."

Elliot wondered for a moment before he figured it out, "Oh... Man, y'all are a bunch of perves."

Allen chuckled, "Bouncing body parts man. I expect to see you shirtless." He winked at Elliot.

"You get that here!" Elliot laughed as he gestured to the cabin walls.

"B...but you'll b...be all hot and sweaty out there," Luke teased him.

Elliot narrowed his eyes at them both, "I'm going to crush the both of you tomorrow."

"How about we place a bet?" Allen grinned.

"What's the wager?" Elliot asked.

"This is only if one of our teams win. Has to be the ultimate victor," Allen smirked evilly, "The losers have to service the winners."

Elliot laid his ears back, "What do you mean service?"

"Suck some D!" Allen laughed.

Elliot huffed as he sat there and thought about it. That'd be a tough break for him if Luke and Allen got first. He noticed that both of them were staring at him in anticipation. Elliot smirked, "Alright, fine. But, if I feel like I'm falling behind to far, I'm going to make sure you at least get second place." Elliot held out his hand to shake on it.

Allen gleefully shook his hand, "May the best men win."

Luke chuckled, "I'm g...gonna feel b...bad if you lo...lose."

"Don't worry," Elliot laughed, "I think I'll be extra determined to win now."

Allen changed the subject, "We're gonna go scuba here soon. Did you wanna join us?"

"Sure," said Elliot, "I've never done it before."

"W...well, I d...do have concerns," said Luke, "Scuba for you could be a little d...dangerous."

"Oh?" said Elliot, "How so?"

"Y...you smoke," Luke said simply, "T...the oxygen could b...be too rich for your lu...lungs to handle, a...and sometimes the p...pressure can cause some c....caridio...v...vascular p...problems. S...should you f...feel any c...changes in your b...body, y...you should surface."

Elliot huffed, "So, wait. Is it safe for me to do or not?"

Luke laughed, "Y...you should be ok. W...we're n...not exactly doing deep sea d...diving. B..but, to be safe, y...you should understand the risks."

"I'll give you mouth to mouth," said Allen with a grin.

"Hah, you'd like that too much," Elliot chuckled, "I'll try not to give you the satisfaction. But, I think I'll be ok if Luke says so."

Allen wagged his tail, "Come on, we've got a group showing up soon enough."

Elliot stood on the dock with Allen and Luke. The rat had had the Guardians deliver sets of scuba gear to him. Luke closely examined each one to make sure they were all regulated correctly. It wasn't long before the rest of the scuba goers arrived. All of them were guys Elliot hadn't really interacted with.

Luke went through all the safety procedures with each of them. He helped reconfigure the breathing apparatuses for each of them so each of them could use them. He then walked through how the tanks worked. Luke was actually very thorough and didn't even stutter much when giving direction. It was nice to see him with such confidence.

Luke took the first half of them into the water to go over last minute preparations. Once he had them on their way he got himself ready to go with the next group. He ran a last check with this group before putting his mouthpiece in. He gave everyone a thumbs up as they submerged.

Elliot kicked his legs behind himself. He found this really exciting. Luke grouped everyone together and motioned for them all to follow him. The bottom of the lake was rather interesting. Elliot had no idea he'd be seeing this.

Over the bottom of the lake was a town from days of old. There were settlement buildings covered in algae. They eerily stood out on the lake floor, but it was quite beautiful. Luke led them all down into the town. Among all the old buildings were some new things as well. Almost as if someone decorated it.

Statues of all sorts seemed to have been placed among the buildings. Each one was of a nude male. All of them were wielding weapons and had adonis bodies. In the middle of the town stood a large statue of a much younger Elric. The ram had a trident in his hands and a saddened face as if he was not ready for a battle to come. Elliot looked around and noticed that the other statues were all positioned facing him. Statue Elric was defending against them! Elliot wondered what the whole story is here.

Luke led them all down towards the Elric statue. Below it was a wide opening. Luke motioned for everyone to follow him in. The rats flippers fluttered behind him as he dove down into the darkness. Half the party paused at the caves entrance. Elliot trusted Luke to not put them in danger so he kept following him. The lion only got nervous and stopped as the darkness enveloped him into its embrace.

Elliot saw a light in the distance. Then another. The chain of lights grew more and more as they popped on one at a time. A long untouched underwater mine lit up before Elliot's eyes. He could see Luke down the shaft waving at the party to move forward. Elliot kicked off down the oddly large mineshaft. Only the minecart tracks and lights led the way in.

Elliot nearly lost his mouthpiece when he entered a giant chamber. Luke had pointed a bunch of underwater spotlights up at the walls. The walls were dazzlingly dancing with huge jagged crystals pointing inward. Luke waved the crowd in as they all had awestruck eyes beneath their masks. Luke swam back out to the center where he had the spotlights set up and motioned to a sign.

It read: "Welcome friends to the Loring Geode. This is the fourth largest geode in the world. Unfortunately an untimely event took place in 1977 on the 12th day of June that flooded the Loring Mining Camp. A beaver dam up river had burst. This work of nature caused the lake on top of the mountain to drain into this valley. It is now the Farewell River that empties into Loring Lake to this day. This monument is maintained by the Loring Administration to remember those lost on that fateful day." The plaque continued on with at least three dozen names.

Elliot hadn't realized this was here. Maybe he should have read that history tab on the website. This camp probably had all sorts of secrets to it. There were those two mines he didn't know about during the scavenger hunt. His curiosity was piqued now. It may have been a tragic event, but the camp was probably crawling with an interesting history that the lion was excited to learn about. Even more so he wondered what led it to becoming Dad Camp.

Luke let everyone check out the crystals for a few more minutes before he motioned for everyone to go towards the exit. Once Luke had made sure everyone was out the other side he turned off the lights. The rat sure had some balls to swim up that long, dark shaft all on his own. Elliot shuddered at the thought.

Luke took them around the town for a few minutes. Upon closer inspection the buildings were made of brick. All the windows were blown out and the doors left open. The underwater ghost town spoke for itself in silence. Most everything was cleaned out of the homes. A crew must have come in at some point to clear out all the household items.

Luke swam by everyone pointing at the oxygen gauge on his tank. Elliot followed the crowd back up to the surface. He took one last look at the Loring Mining Camp. The giant statue of Elric fading into the haze. Elliot broke through the surface. He spit out his mouthpiece and made his way back to the dock. Allen was helping everyone take their tanks off as he helped them all to shore.

Elliots legs felt shaky as he collapsed onto shore. He felt really lightheaded. Two others seemed to share in this sympathy. Luke brought the three of them bottles of water. Elliot swigged it all down. He let out a big belch.

Luke laughed, "L...let me know if any of y...you guys feel any other symptoms. You'll likely feel like you're still f...floating till the end of the d...day."

Elliot laid on his back, "Ugh. Carry me back to the cabin."

Luke grinned and patted Elliots gut, "Y...you'll b...be alright in a few m...minutes. Just relax f...for a b...bit."

"That was pretty fun," said Elliot, "I didn't know something like that was under the lake."

"Yeah," said Luke, "Until I c...came along, only water f...faring guys got to indulge in its b...beauty. Elric said he in...installed the statue monuments b...back in the mid nineties to co...commemorate the loss. Ea...each statue represents each m...man l...lost."

"Why did it look like they were going to battle?" Elliot asked.

"Elric was an ap...p...prentice for his f...father at the time," said Luke, "H...he knew all those men, and he m...made the statues to represent the g...ghosts that haunted his d...dreams for years after the event. H...he struggled w...with the loss greatly."

"That's deep," said Elliot as he sat up.

"Y...yeah," said Luke, "I...I'm g...gonna go and finish p...packing up all the equipment. C...call me if you need me."

Elliot got to his feet. He really did feel like he was still kind of floating. He shook his head and made his way back to his cabin. He was ready for a shower and a nap after that escapade. Elliot planned to only lay down until dinner. He successfully didn't sleep fourteen hours this time. He stretched himself out before getting redressed. He still felt a bit tired, but he didn't want to sleep the day away.

Elliot got himself a seat at a table and went through all the food items. He wasn't sure what he wanted today. Ribs? Ribs sounded good. Elliot made his order with a side of three baked potatoes, fully loaded. He sat there with his soda as he waited for his tablet to flash green. It was pretty quite in the dining hall. Elliot noticed Elric and Turbo at the front table. Elliot was half tempted to ask Elric about the monument.

His tablet flashed green to let him know his food was finished. He went up to the counter to get his plate. There were his ribs and potatoes on the tray and a large slice of cheesecake with a red heart painted on it in raspberry sauce. The lions ears went red as there was a little thank you card under the cheesecake signed by Brett. Elliot didn't know he made that much of an impression yesterday.

Elliot sat down at his table and dug into his ribs. Both Hank and Brett were wonderful chefs. Everything was always done perfectly. One by one the lion stripped his ribs clean. He started mashing all three of his potatoes together. It defeated the purpose of a baked potato, but now he could taste sour cream and bacon in every bite. He eyeballed the cheesecake. He sighed as he was going to have to put off eating less for another day again.

Brett came out of the kitchen, he must have some help back there for him to do such. The big wolf sat down across from Elliot, "Hey Elliot! How was your food?"

Elliot blushed as the wolf grinned over at him, "It was great as always! Th...thanks for the cheesecake."

"So, uh..."Brett rubbed the back of his head, "I was wondering if you'd like to hang out later?"

"Oh?" was all the lion could say. He wasn't expecting this at all.

"Look man," said Brett as he leaned forward, "I'll be honest. Cause you know, we only have twenty days left here. I think you're really cute, and I'd like try and get to know you."

Elliot didn't mean to laugh, but how couldn't he? "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh. You and everyone else it seems to be going after me. I just honestly don't get it."

It was Brett's turn to laugh, "Oh man, you don't get why? Look at you? Those big arms, thick legs, and that sexy round belly. Woof! You are walking hotness with an ass that don't quit."

Elliot tried to sink down in his seat to hide himself in embarrassment, "All of you are nuts. I'm not that desirable."

"Well, let me prove you wrong," Brett grinned, "I've wooed you with a cheesecake, now let me offer a walking date with some hot chocolate. Meet me here tonight at ten, I won't take no for an answer." The wolf stood up and went back to the kitchen before Elliot could respond. The lion sat there with cheeks flushed. He had no idea what just happened. He's never had someone so demanding of him aside from Helena. Well, his daughter too since she took after her.

"Hey bud," said Victor as him, Keller, and Jiro took a seat at his table.

"Hi Elliot!!" Keller said. He jumped on top of the table and posed his nude frame up on the table. He was painted with tribal symbols down his whole body, "Whatcha think!?"

Elliot blinked up at him and laughed, "Did the dread pirate meet a finger painter?"

"Hey now," he sat down on the table, "It's my battle paint for tomorrow. I'll be doing Victors later."

"We'll be pairing up naked on his demand," Victor chuckled, "He wants us to battle like real warriors."

"Just as long as you help me beat Luke and Allen, you can battle however you please," Elliot laughed.

"Oh? Whys that?" Victor grinned.

"I may have made a wager this morning that involved some cock sucking..." Elliot blushed as he realized he hadn't told Jiro yet.

Elliot explained the details. The bat laughed with Victor as the shark told him what was going on. Jiro responded, "I guess we'll have to kick everyone's ass."

Elliot chuckled, "I guess so." Elliot held his fingers up to his lips and Jiro nodded. The both of them stopped for a coffee first before going outside to smoke. Jiro grinned as they both lit up and Elliot put his arm around him. The lion made a scribbling motion with his hand and the bat nodded. He pulled out his notepad and pen.

"I just got asked on a date tonight," Elliot wrote.

The bat laughed, "You stud. I'm just not enough, huh?" He put a winky face after this.

Elliot grinned and shook his head, "You're more than plenty. You're fantastic. I just don't know what to do."

"Who is it?"

"Chef Brett."

Jiro laughed as he wrote, "Wow. I don't think I've heard of him approaching anyone before. He's almost always in the kitchen. How did this come about?"

"I guess he found me attractive when I helped him out with food yesterday," Elliot sighed, "I mean, I find him attractive too. But, is it too much for me to just date around while I'm here?"

"We're all here for thirty days," Jiro looked deep in thought, "It always feels like a short time. Once you get settled in, it's almost time to go home again. You want so badly to make the deepest and most meaningful relationships you can while you're here. Sometimes it feels very rushed. Simply put, it kind of has to be. And that's ok! None of us know what kind of special people will enter our lives while we're here. It could change us forever. Keller has made an incredible change in Victor. I've never seen him so happy."

Elliot grinned, "What about you?"

"I'm always happy," Jiro smirked, "You just happen to brighten my day even more. A few of you do. I want to bring you all home with me. You guys mean so much to me. I feel even more welcome here than I do in my studio sometimes and those guys are my everyday family. The experience I get with you all here is on such a different level. I get to explore my hearts passions and desires that I am usually too shy to do."

Elliot smirked, "I've never considered being so open and explorative. I guess when in Dad Camp..."

Jiro giggled, "When in Dad Camp. Don't worry Elliot. Just go your pace and no one will be mad at you."

Elliot hugged the bat against him as they enjoyed their smokes and coffee. The two of them cuddled and chatted back and forth for a while longer. The both of them were excited for their competition tomorrow. Elliot sure hoped they were ready for it. Jiro went in for dinner and the lion decided to join to keep him and others company until ten rolled around.

Jiro gave him a smooch as the bat had plans with his cabinmates. Elliot went into the front lobby to find something to pass his time. He roamed around the shelves full of books. There were a lot of the usual literary favorites lining the shelves. Elliot blushed as he found a section full of very graphic erotica. He came upon a book that looked fairly new. It may also hold some answers Elliot wanted.

The red cover had gold lettering that read 'Dad Camp History by Marcus Smith'. Elliot wondered if that Marcus was Turbo. The book was quite thick. Elliot flipped it open and found that it was all hand written in very neat print. The cover page read, "Do not write in this book. Each year I plan to gather information to write about the camps history and experiences to have a recording."

Elliot flipped halfway through the book. Sure enough the pages were all blank. Elliot flipped the book back to the cover page and shuffled through the pages. He took a seat in one of the chairs and began to read. Marcus was very thorough in his writings. He started at the very beginning in the camps history in the eighteenth century.

It started as a humble trade route through the mountains. It was a byway for travellers on their way west. After a time it developed into a mining camp. The mining took place in the lower valley area which was now the lake. Once they struck the geode though, they stopped mining to not further damage the find. Apparently Elrics grandfather was in charge at this point in the nineteen twenties. Charles Loring had found beauty in this prized find and decided that the mining should be moved up into the mountains surrounding the valley.

Charles had found large veins of silver and copper in the mines. Copper became his most sold resource by the late thirties. Charles invested his money into starting up the business of Loring Flight. During the war his company built over two hundred fighter planes. When the war was over, Charles wanted to turn his company over to his son.

Dresden Loring turned to the more modern usage of airplanes. Loring airlines took flight in its maiden flight with twenty passengers across the states in the early fifties. Dresden kept the Loring Airlines and Mining businesses open. He eventually opened up a few small businesses that Elliot knew well as they were quite popular to this day and were everywhere.

"That explains the money..." Elliot muttered as he kept reading. Dresden fathered ten sons and four daughters. He would pass his company off to his eldest, Elric, in the mid eighties and employ the rest of them. Dresden decided to use the old mining camp to make Dad Camp become a thing. Dresden spent most of his retirement getting the place set up and running smooth.

He unfortunately met with death in the late nineties from heart failure. Elric didn't take it lightly. The ram had fallen into a deep depression for a while. It showed in his performances. A few of his brothers forced him to leave on a vacation. To leave work and relax. Elric decided to check out the camp his father started. There were only six members at the time.

They'd stay in the main lodge and go out for boating, fishing, and hikes. It was quite standard for being out in the country. Elric rather enjoyed it. When he returned home, he set out to make improvements to the camp. Mostly modernizing. He added the dining hall to the main lodge, had several other cabins built up.

As the popularity grew more and more each year, Elric started offering higher tiers to each member. Then he hired his own employees to take this one month respite with him to run the grounds. Walther was apparently the first counselor. Elliot got distracted from the book when he heard a clock chime. He looked up to see that it was ten.

He was getting a good deal more from the book than he thought he would. The lion reshelved it where he found it. Elliot took a deep breath as he went into the dining hall. He took a seat near the kitchen doors. He wondered how long he'd have to wait. Apparently a while as he realized fifteen minutes had passed. Such a large kitchen can't be easy to clean by the end of the day. The lion stretched as he went out to the balcony to smoke.

The door opened and Brett came out, "There you are!" The wolf had stripped his chef jacket leaving him only in his shorts. His grey fur looked shiny from all the kitchen grease and smelled of meat. His arms were soaked up to his shoulders. He must have just finished cleaning all the pots. "Sorry I took so long. Only had two helpers tonight."

"It's alright," said Elliot.

"Oh man! I promised hot chocolate!" Brett smacked his forehead.

"Hehe, that's ok," the lion smirked, "I'm not much a fan of chocolate anyway."

"How about we get some coffee instead?" Brett grinned, "It's always fresh. Come on."

Elliot laughed. He surely wasn't going to sleep anytime soon now. Brett poured them both a tall cup of coffee. He winked as he reached into the back of the fridge and pulled out a creamer Elliot didn't know was there, "Sweet cream! It's very hard to find around here, so I keep them on the bottom shelf behind all the other ones. Just don't tell anyone."

Elliot laughed, "Your secrets safe with me, hehe."

"Mix this with some dark roast, and you'll be in love," Brett handed him his cup. The wolf led him down to the lake once he finished preparing his coffee. They walked in silence for a bit. The lake was still and quiet. Only the moon disturbed its surface. The wolf let out a sigh and grinned over at the lion.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I really didn't have anything planned. Not even sure what to talk about. I just found you very attractive and took the chance to ask you out. I'm very happy you came."

Elliot laughed, "Well, you rushed asking me, so I wasn't sure if I should or not. But, I figured it can't hurt."

"Yeah, sorry about that," Brett rubbed the back of his head, "The kitchens always busy, and I only had a moment to come see you."

Elliot nodded, "I kind of figured. I guess I made a good impression on you yesterday."

"I like a man that can handle his meat," Brett grinned.

"I'm sure you do," Elliot laughed, "It was pretty fun. Sorry I destroyed so many cuts."

"No worries," Brett sipped into his coffee, "For a first timer, you didn't do so bad. Just be happy I didn't stick you on pasta! Hank is a stickler when it comes to perfect pasta."

"That did look like too much for me to handle," Elliot chuckled.

The wolf grinned at him. Brett seemed like he had a lot to say but didn't. Elliot didn't mind. The walk around the lake was pretty nice. Brett lead them down one of the fishing docks and sat down on its edge. He patted the spot next to him. Elliot set his coffee down and settled down next to him. They sat there with their legs dangling down with their feet in the water.

Brett stuck a smoke in his maw and offered Elliot one. "Oh, thanks" said Elliot. Not even a second after the lion had it between his lips, the wolf was holding up a flame for him. Elliot accepted.

Brett lit his and grinned, "I always light my bitches cigarettes."

He was one of those lame joke type of guys. Elliot still laughed as he blew his smoke from his nose, "Haven't heard that since high school."

"Man, I don't even wanna think about high school," Brett swirled his toes in the water, "I was the fat kid."

"Yeah, we had one of those," Elliot huffed, "Looking back, I feel pretty bad how we treated him sometimes. Especially now that I'm the fat kid."

Brett patted the lions gut, "You and me both big guy. But look at our guns!" The wolf flexed up. Elliot blushed as the wolfs arms and pecs inflated. He was just a little bit more pumped than he was.

Elliot laughed and patted the wolfs bicep, "We gotta have extra beef to impress everyone."

Brett chuckled as he patted Elliots leg, rubbing against him as he didn't remove his hand, "I just happen to really like your handsome face. Your mane frames it so perfectly, and you're well groomed. I like that in a man. Not to mention, the rest of you is wonderful."

Elliots ears burned, "Oh, heh. Thanks. I don't like it when my mane gets to out of control. Especially when I work on machinery all the time. Too many moving parts."

"I don't think I even wanna know," Brett gave Elliots thigh a gentle squeeze, "The images in my head are just too awful to even elaborate on. I've seen enough chopped off fingertips."

"Ew, ow, no!" Elliot chuckled, "That's just careless. At least getting some hair ripped out is an accident."

Brett shuddered, "Let's agree both are awful."

"Sounds good," Elliot patted the paw on his thigh, he took a deep breath as he kept his hand on top of Bretts.

The wolf smiled. He thought he was so sly. The two of them sat through more silence. It wasn't awkward fortunately for Elliots sake. The lion absently rubbed his fingers over the top of the hand on his thigh. Bretts tail started to wag.

"Thanks for being with this big awkward wolf, El," Brett said finally, "I'm always in the kitchen here and don't get much time to hang out with you guys. I've got needs too."

"So, I'm a fling?" Elliot teased.

Brett smiled softly as he gave the lions thigh a squeeze, "Only if you want to be."

Elliot chuckled, "Lets do a few more of these date things and see where things go."

"I'd like that," Brett huffed and stood up. He dropped his shorts down onto the dock. Elliot blushed as the nude wolf towered over him, the tip of his shaft poking from his sheath. A thick metal ring hung from the bottom of it which matched the ones hanging from his nipples. He winked down at Elliot before taking a dive into the lake. He resurfaced and wiped the water from his face, "Come on in El!"

Elliot blushed. He stood up and took off his clothes. He took in a deep breath before jumping into the water with the wolf. He brushed his mane back as he treaded water. Thirty days to do whatever he wanted. The lion figured he may as well indulge what others wanted too.

"Skinny dipping seems to be a popular trend out here," said Elliot.

"Maybe a bit more," the wolf grinned as he approached the lion.

Elliot felt him grab his paws. The lion merely chuckled and didn't resist, "Don't you try anything."

Brett grinned, "Can't even hold you?"

"I suppose that's ok," Elliot chuckled.

The wolf pulled them together as their legs rubbed together. He pushed them under the dock so they could stand in the water. Elliot blushed as he held his arms around the wolf. He had a few inches on him so he laid his head over his. Elliot realized that the wolf was turned on when he increased the hold of their embrace. This made him blush some more and he could feel his bashfulness kick in.

Elliot chuckled as the wolf started to grind against him, "Hehe, quite eager, aren't you?"

Brett laughed as he rubbed his muzzle against Elliots neck, "I'm sorry. It's just so nice to be in someone's arms."

Elliot squeezed the wolf against him, "It sure is."

Brett seemed perfectly content with just grinding against Elliots leg and being held. The wolf smelled like wet fur, fruits, and meat. Elliot was tempted to nibble on the wolf by how good smelled. Brett leaned back a bit as he smiled to up to him. Brett leaned in, putting his nose against Elliots.

"I'm gonna be a total kid," Brett chuckled, "Wanna make out?"

Elliot decided to take the lead on this and responded to the wolf by pushing his lips against him. Brett closed his eyes as their maws sunk together. The wolfs hands dug into Elliots fur as he held on tight. The both of them groaning against each other. It was Elliots turn to get really turned on. There was no stopping this as he started to grind back against the wolf. This encouraged Brett to push harder against the lion.

The wolf started to take control as his paws moved lower down Elliots back. His hands cupped around the lion's rump as he lifted Elliot up against him. He was pushing up roughly into the kiss as their tongues danced together. Brett had started growling playfully as he was totally into Elliot.

The lion groaned softly back as he wrapped his legs around the wolfs waist. This probably wouldn't have worked out so well if they weren't in the water. Brett held to his ass tightly as they continued to make out. Brett broke the kiss with a very lusty woof coming from him.

"Fuck, El," Brett huffed, "You're so damn hot."

Elliot chuckled, "You're pretty hot too."

Brett laughed as he leaned his head down against the lions chest, "I guess buttering you up with a cheesecake made this easier for you to do."

Elliot grinned, "You caught me. It was the cheesecake."

Brett smooched up against the lions neck, "I guess if I fed you a whole cheesecake, I probably would get second base."

"Aren't we past that?" Elliot leaned his head back, enjoying those neck kisses.

"This is my first base," Brett chuckled as he kept kissing against him.

"And second base?" Elliot was curious now.

"Oral," Brett leaned his head down to kiss against the lions chest.

"Mmm, third?" Elliots paws rubbed over the wolfs shoulders as he went lower.

"Fucking," Brett rumbled as he gave a kiss over one of Elliots nipples.

"Do I even want to know what home is?" Elliot laughed.

Brett gave the lions nipple a tug within his teeth, causing him to moan out. The wolf grinned, "I'm a naughty boy El. We'll save home base when you get to know me better."

Elliot huffed as his nipple tingled, "I can see that."

Brett nuzzled against the lions chest. The wolf clearly desired nothing more than to have contact of any form. He looked so content just holding Elliot as he stopped his playful grinding. Elliot sighed softly as he rubbed his paws up and down the wolf's back. He slowly trailed his claws around in gentle circles. The wolf gave the lion soft kisses against his chest.

They broke apart from each other after a few more moments of hugging and did some actual swimming around. They talked about nonsense for awhile. Brett was really into board games, most of which Elliot had never heard of. The wolf was very passionate about space too. He pointed out all the constellations in the sky for Elliot. He even named quite a few of the stars themselves.

"And that one," he pointed out towards a particularly bright object, "is the planet Jupiter."

"Huh," Elliot said, "I had no idea that's what that one was."

Brett chuckled, "Now you know."

Elliot splashed the wolf. He chuckled and splashed him back. "I should probably get to bed," said Elliot, "I've got that competition tomorrow."

"Tomorrow's easy street for me!" Brett grinned, "I'm cooking you guys burgers and dogs while you all compete." The both of them pulled themselves back up onto the dock to get their clothes.

"Mmm, I could totally pack away some hot dogs," Elliot chuckled.

"Me too," Brett winked at him. Elliot blushed. He picked up his empty coffee mug to bring back to the dining hall. "Here, let me take that. I gotta go do inventory anyway."

"Oh," said Elliot, "I didn't realize I was keeping you from your duties."

"No worries," Brett grinned, "You were worth it."

Elliot grinned. The wolf grabbed him by the chin scruff and pulled him in for a goodbye kiss. The wolf ran off back towards the main lodge. His naked body bouncing in ways Elliot couldn't help but watch. The lion shook his head. He'd never have imagined trying something like this before. A random hook up with someone he'd just met and already reached what he considered third base. It was much nicer than he anticipated.

Elliot smiled to himself. That's all he really needed to do. Let go of his inhibitions and he'll end up having fun. The lion blushed as he realized he was standing there with a huge erection. His modesty kicked in. A little. He covered himself with his shorts as he made his way back to his cabin, tail swishing in content as he went.
