Chapter 33: Young At Heart

It was officially the first day of spring. The last of the snow had melted, the ice from the river too, meaning the forest was muddy from the overflow. But the world was bright and beautiful in the northern forest that day as Kel and Loryn walked side by side beneath the trees to their favorite spot since they were children: the waterfall. They passed beneath the trees through the shifting layers of shadows and sunlight, and Loryn kept smiling at Kel with warm relief. It made Kel laugh.

"Loryn! Was I really that sick?"

They came to the waterfall at last, and Loryn shook his head as he leaned his spear against a tree. Kel did the same.

"Kel, we thought you were going to die!" Loryn said, wading into the shallows. He stopped when the water came to his buttocks, his tail floating on the surface. Kel saw him bow his head. He came up behind Loryn, rubbing his shoulders and chest. Loryn closed his eyes and placed his paws over Kel's.

"I'd never been so scared in my life," he whispered, his black eyes fixed in misery on the water. "I thought to myself: if he dies, something inside of me is going to die too, and I'll never be the same."

Kel gazed at Loryn sadly and realized for the first time just what he had put everyone through. He bowed his head miserably against Loryn's and whispered, "I'm sorry, Loryn."

"Oh, I'll make you pay for it!" Loryn said playfully and jerked his hips until his dick flopped.

Kel laughed at this but felt himself getting hard to see Loryn's muscular body flexing, those toned abs crunching. Loryn noticed it too. He pressed his body to Kel's and rocked his hips slowly against him.

"You want this, Kel?" Loryn whispered in Kel's ear, his lips brushing him. His paws roamed over Kel's body, and Kel could feel Loryn's hard cock nudging him. He cried out when Loryn's cock pushed gently against his anus.

"Not here, Loryn! Someone might see!" Kel whispered in alarm.

"God, that would be hot --"

"Loryn!"

Loryn laughed. "All right," he whispered against Kel's cheek. "Under the waterfall."

They swam for the waterfall together, Kel in front and Loryn following. They passed under the falls and into the cavern behind, this cavern where they had touched each other, held each other in secret for the better part of forty years. They sloshed up out of the shallows, and Loryn grabbed playfully at Kel's tail. "Come 'ere, you!" Kel laughed as he was pulled into Loryn's arms, as the bigger wolf held him from behind, kissing his cheek in warm affection.

"I missed you so much," Loryn admitted, squeezing Kel tight in his arms.

"Oh, Loryn . . ." Kel closed an apologetic paw over Loryn's bulging arm.

Loryn let Kel go and waded through the shallows, then lay down on the cool stone floor of the cavern, resting back on his elbows. Kel followed and sat at his side.

Loryn gazed thoughtfully at the crashing falls, and Kel studied him, noting with a little smile that that handsome striped face had not changed much over the years, it was just a little older given the passage of time. But Loryn was so young at heart, so carefree. He would always be thirteen to Kel, who would never forget that first kiss they shared here in secret under the waterfall.

"What are you smiling at?" Loryn demanded when he noticed Kel staring. He didn't turn his head, but the black eyes darted to their corners to study Kel in amusement.

"I was just thinking," Kel said. He lay on his back beside Loryn and rested back on his elbows in much the same manner. His heart fluttered happily when Loryn playfully smacked his tail over his.

"Thinking of what, Kel?"

"Of us. How we used to come here when we were pups. Loryn . . . is it true what you said?" Kel waited and saw Loryn go very still. He couldn't believe it when Loryn bit his lip and gazed resolutely in the opposite direction.

". . . What did I say?" Loryn asked, and Kel could tell he was trying to sound casual and indifferent.

"You said when we used to come here that you pretended I was yours!" Kel waited again, and he realized when Loryn gave a weak laugh that he was embarrassed.

"Ah, so you heard that, huh? You weren't supposed to." Loryn sat up abruptly, and resting one arm across his knees, he dragged a paw over his eyes.

Kel sat up too. "Loryn . . . were you ever in love with me? I mean, the way Zaldon is?" Kel asked slowly.

Loryn gave Kel a sad little smile. "Perhaps."

"Loryn! Why didn't you ever tell me?"

Loryn rolled his eyes miserably. "What was the point of telling you, Kel? You were always in love with Aliona. And I knew about Zaldon's feelings long before he suspected I did. And then there was Kira -- there was no point trying to taste something I couldn't eat for the rest of my life. That's why."

Kel sat in shock, but Loryn went on:

"Kira isn't like Aliona, Kel. She'll let me slip off and fuck you every once in a while, but the three of us together sharing one love? That's not going to happen. So I let you go and just settled for being your best friend --"

"Even though you secretly yearn for more?" Kel said and he was angry suddenly.

"Yes!" Loryn snapped. "Damn you. You weren't even supposed to hear what I said. You were supposed to be slipping into a coma."

"I'm glad I heard," Kel whispered, brushing Loryn's mane back from his eyes. "Because now I know how you really feel. And I love you all the more for it." He wrapped his arms around Loryn's neck and kissed him.

Loryn closed his eyes, wearily resigned.

"I still kind of can't believe it," Kel said, resting back on his paws. "I knew you loved me, but I never knew you were in love with me."

"Believe it, babe."

Loryn pressed Kel down, and leaning on one elbow, he smiled at Kel and touched his face. "I wanted you to be my lover the way you are with Zaldon. I didn't always just want your ass, Kel. I wanted your heart too. I wanted that, I wanted something more than this friendship love. How could I help loving you? But whatever heartache I felt when you didn't love me back? I've dealt with that. That's over."

Kel gazed up at Loryn sadly. And as he looked up into those black eyes, he suddenly understood why Loryn had always been so afraid of falling in love with males: he only wanted to give his heart to Kel! But Kel had never loved him back -- not in the way that he yearned for. Had Kel been so in love with Aliona that he had failed to notice the feelings of both Loryn and Zaldon? He realized what it must've been like for them, watching him watching Aliona. They both must've felt so rejected, so ignored. Sympathy washing over him, Kel kissed Loryn suddenly on the lips.

Loryn's ears pricked forward. "What was that for?"

"For always being there for me. For loving me. For just being you."

Loryn grinned. "Oh, Kel. You're really asking for it."

Kel blushed. He didn't have to ask what Loryn meant by that.

"But, Kel," said Loryn, and the dark eyes were serious, his ears went back flat on his head, "promise me you won't ever get sick like that again. You must promise me! Because I'd be lost without you. I don't know what would happen to me!"

"I promise!" Kel squeezed Loryn's shoulder, trying to calm him. "I won't get sick -- look!" He showed Loryn his paw, and Loryn noticed for the first time that Kel was wearing a gold ring. "I just have to twist it and he said he'd come for me," Kel explained, smiling happily at the ring.

Loryn smiled mischievously. "Oh, really?"

"Loryn!" Kel held his paw out of reach as Loryn made a playful snatch for the ring.

"Oh, come on, Kel! It's been such a long time since I've seen Zaldon fucking you --"

Kel blushed furiously. Loryn must've spied on them fucking beside the fire more than he'd realized.

Loryn kept snatching playfully at the ring, and Kel, frantic now to keep the ring from Loryn, soon found himself pinned beneath the heavier wolf and twisting to get free. Loryn was laughing and wriggling on top of Kel as he made snatches for the ring, and Kel felt himself getting hard all over again at the feel of Loryn's hot, hard body on top of him.

When it seemed Loryn had finally given up, they sagged together, gasping, but Loryn started kissing Kel slowly on the lips. Loryn's lips pulled gently at Kel's, smacking when he pulled away only to kiss Kel again, and Kel fell very still, whimpering in delight when he felt his dick getting harder. And suddenly, Loryn's paws were everywhere on his body, rubbing, caressing, and Kel heard himself groaning.

"Mmm -- Loryn! I know what you're doing!" Kel cried.

But Loryn kept going, and Kel melted when Loryn's fingers closed around his cock. He started stroking Kel on long, firm strokes, and Kel felt himself relaxing, felt himself moaning as the pleasure mounted, threatening to release. As he lay there gasping under Loryn, his chest heaving, ready to come -- Loryn snatched his paw and twisted the ring.

"Loryn!" Kel growled angrily.

Loryn climbed off of Kel, laughing and dodging his blows, and when Zaldon appeared standing over them in the mouth of the cavern, Kel drew his knees up and buried his face in his paws with a groan. Loryn grinned up at Zaldon, who stood there looking mildly shocked as the smoke cleared. He probably hadn't expected to be summoned only to find Kel sitting so distraught after a mere matter of days apart.

"You leave your mouth open any longer," Loryn told Zaldon with a grin, "and I'll put something in it."

Zaldon laughed, and seeing Kel so embarrassed with his face in his paws and Loryn grinning mischievously up at him, he guessed what must have happened here. He came and sat beside Kel and dipped his feet in the water. Loryn sat on Kel's other side and did the same.

"So did we disturb you?" asked Loryn, wagging his eyebrows. "You weren't getting it on with Julyan, were you? You should've brought him."

Zaldon smiled at this teasing. "Oh, no, Julyan is on patrol and Yuri is with my wives. I was just settling down for a nap, actually. Yuri had me up all night. She was crying. She really misses Enya."

"Ah, poor thing," said Loryn, frowning.

"Oh, she'll be just fine. I'll bring her back to visit . . ." Zaldon's black eyes drifted to Kel, who was sitting between them with his face still in his paws. "But what have you done to Kel?" Zaldon asked with a laugh. He clapped a big paw on Kel's shoulder and massaged.

"No more than the usual," said Loryn with a shrug. "I fondled him, teased him, pinned him down, and humiliated him."

"Why am I not surprised," answered Zaldon with another laugh. "Kel? Is it so terrible that I'm here?" Zaldon asked, giving Kel a hard kiss on the cheek.

Kel lifted his face for the first time and his cheeks were flaming red. And he knew exactly why he was embarrassed: he didn't want Loryn to see how he was around Zaldon. Loryn found their love so amusing, was always teasing him, and just thinking of all the times Loryn had probably spied on them making love made his cheeks burn hotter.

"After all this pining for Zaldon, I expected you to fall into his arms," added Loryn with a laugh. "But there you sit hiding that handsome face." Loryn gave Kel's ear a playful flick and Kel batted him off.

"There's nothing wrong with three friends spending some time together," Zaldon said, drawing his leg up and resting his arm on his knee. He chucked a rock at the water and it skidded across the surface three times before it sank.

Kel leaned back on his paws, trying to keep calm. How many times had he just sat around like this with Loryn and Zaldon and Yzlo? And yet he was so nervous! He closed his eyes a moment, willing himself not to get hard, and when he heard a laugh, he knew that Loryn had seen him and was laughing at him.

Kel opened his eyes and looked around with a glower. Loryn was licking his lips at him! He tweaked his own nipple and gave a silent moan, then pointed at Zaldon as if to say Zaldon had probably done this to Kel. Kel suddenly lost control. He leapt on Loryn with a growl, and he knew when he had tackled Loryn to the ground that the bigger wolf had let him, but he didn't care. He and Loryn started twisting wildly, Loryn laughing and Kel growling in his rage as their tails flashed.

Kel was biting Loryn on the neck and shaking his head around in his fury when he felt a burly pair of arms wrap around him from behind and pull him away. He knelt with his chest heaving, glaring at Loryn, who was lying on the ground still laughing. And it was only when he caught his breath that he realized he was in Zaldon's arms. Kel's cock stood erect in a heartbeat and he groaned. He felt Zaldon's chest heaving a little, then Zaldon's great cock was nudging him in its sudden stiffness. He shivered, imagining that cock thrusting inside of him.

Loryn sat up on his elbows, breathless and grinning, and seeing Kel's hard-on, he drew up his leg and rubbed his paw over his thigh, a silent invitation. Kel saw Loryn's cock stand erect and his own cock throbbed. Loryn was so handsome, had always been so handsome. And the worst part about it was that he knew it: even now, Loryn lay there with one leg bent, the other stretched out, as if he was offering his rigid cock to Kel, and those black eyes were hungry and intense, those lips twisted in a seductive smile.

Kel wanted Loryn in the that moment. His heart pounded as he realized how badly he wanted them both, and he crawled toward Loryn out of Zaldon's arms almost as if he was in a trance.

Loryn smiled, stroking Kel's mane lovingly behind his shoulder, then he kissed Kel's lips as if he'd been waiting all along for this to happen. Posed on his paws and knees, Kel kissed Loryn back, slowly, hungrily, and heard his own little moans mixing with Loryn's. Then Zaldon was behind Kel, Zaldon was kissing his neck. Kel shivered again. Oh, god, this was too good to be true! Was this really happening to him?

Loryn pulled Kel down into his arms, holding him to his chest, and Kel moaned when he felt Zaldon climb on top of him, when that great cock entered him. A shudder went through his body to feel Zaldon's organ holding him open wide, to feel Zaldon's kisses on his neck and at the same time to have Loryn holding him so tightly, Loryn kissing his lips.

Kel bit his lip and tried to hold back, but he could not stop himself from crying out with each deep thrust. He saw Loryn smiling at his moaning, but it wasn't a teasing smile. Loryn's black eyes were warm with love and tender affection, as if he was very happy to see Kel receiving such pleasure. Kel's heart melted at the look in Loryn's eyes and he kissed him lovingly on the lips. Loryn seemed pleased: he gave a little laugh and kissed Kel back.

Kel closed his eyes again, relaxing with a groan in Loryn's big arms as Zaldon's hard, hot body weighed down on him. God, he would never get tired of Zaldon inside of him. Never. He was just too deliciously deep, too wonderfully thick. Kel wanted it to go on forever, this intense pleasure, being trapped between two of the males he loved the most, but Zaldon came, and Kel was shocked when Loryn came too: he gave a choked cry and squeezed his eyes shut. And as if feeling Loryn's cum against his belly had aroused him, Kel came last.

They lay piled on top of each other, breathless, happy, and Kel sighed under Zaldon's lazy kisses on his cheek.

After a pause, Loryn said, "So, Zaldon? You available tomorrow afternoon?"

Kel and Zaldon laughed. Zaldon climbed off of Kel and they both kissed Loryn's cheeks, pinning him down by his arms. Loryn squirmed under them, laughing, his tail flashing. They kissed him until he was red in the face, and then Loryn was chasing them into the shallows. He grabbed Kel's tail but it was slick from the water and his paw only slipped off. Zaldon locked Loryn's neck in his arm and ruffled his mane, but Loryn managed to squirm free. They splashed each other as birds sang in the trees, the sunlight making the water sparkle. They laughed and chased and splashed each other, these middle-aged warriors, and three wolves had never felt so young.
