#5 of Dad Camp

Elliot has found himself just going with the flow of things. He gets a deeper insight into Chew Toys life and feels bad for the wolf. He also gets flirted with by everyone it seems. Jiro has a nice long conversation with Elliot that helps alleviate his suspicions. Is this lion ready to let loose and investigate a side of him that he long forgot as a teenager?


Elliot yawned as he ate breakfast on the balcony of the main lodge. Last night had proven rather interesting. He was still surprised that Jiro had picked him to join in the luxury cabin experience. He breathed the scent of his coffee in before he took a long sip from it. He sighed as he watched the still lake. The yacht was out there with a few patrons that signed up for the breakfast cruise. He told himself to remember to sign up for that experience sometime.

Elliot heard the balcony door close. Footsteps approached his table. He looked around to see who it was. Jeigor was walking towards him with a cup of coffee in his hands, "May I join you?"

"Of course," Elliot motioned to a chair.

The dragon took a seat. He took a sip from his coffee before setting it down. He looked over at Elliot for a moment. The lion was nervous as it felt like the dragons silver eyes were peering into his soul.

"You saved Jiro during his accident," the dragon started as he swirled his coffee around, "I wanted to thank you. The damage could have been much worse. Thankfully he only suffered a few scrapes from hitting the branches on his way down. He is in high spirits thanks to you."

"I saw someone in danger," said Elliot, "It was the right thing to do."

"It was indeed," said Jeigor, the dragon stretched out, "I've never seen him so taken with a new camper. You must be pretty decent aside from being a hero."

Elliot chuckled at the thought of being a hero, "I was taught to treat others the way I want to be treated."

The dragon smirked, "As we all were. This does not stop some people from being awful. You chose to continue being a kind soul. It says a lot about your character. And from what I've been told, you are also very considerate to those around you. I am skeptical though. You did disappear into the woods."

Elliot frowned, "I just haven't left home in ten years. I came here overwhelmed..."

Jeigors expression softened, "I don't mean to pry, but why not?"

"I lost who I was," said the lion as he stared into the bottom of his coffee cup.

Jeigor nodded knowingly, "I understand. My spouse passed away some years ago. I continued on though. I found ways to cope and to reinvent myself. I encourage you to do the same Elliot. You've had a lot of time to heal. Do not hold your kind heart in your paws. Lend it to others and let it roar."

"Let it roar, huh?" Elliot smirked, "Us lions are supposed to be good at that."

Jeigor patted the lions leg, "I look forward to our evening together. It would be nice to see you open up."

Elliot nodded, "I'll do my best."

The two of them sat there in silence. Each of them sipping through their coffee. Elliot stuffed a cigarette between his lips and jumped as Jeigor lit his thumb on fire. The dragon laughed as he held it up for Elliot to ignite.

He puffed on it, "You dragons are such show offs."

Jeigor winked at him. That wink had just as much charm behind it as Pascals did. Elliot and Jeigor started to talk again. The dragon was quite curious about the lions profession. Jeigor didn't have much use for vehicles since he could fly. He only rode with friends when they wanted to go somewhere with him. He made good company as he held onto every word that Elliot spoke. It was nice to have someone that showed genuine interest in what one does.

Elliot ran out of things to talk about, "What about you? What did you do before becoming a counselor slash Loring employee."

The dragon grinned, "I used to work for the government, and my job is classified."

"Oh?" the lion raised an eyebrow, "What? Were you a spy or something like that?"

"Something like that," he smiled as he tipped his coffee cup up and drank all of its contents, "Elliot, thank you for letting me join you, but I have duties to finish before you all kidnap me and force me into a damn thong. The pouches don't leave much room..."

Jeigor shook Elliots paw as he departed. The lion looked into his empty coffee cup and decided one more was needed. He went inside and refilled, and went to the sign up sheets. The couples competition had filled up, only a few more spots were left. Elliot wasn't sure what to sign up for. He sighed.

"Maybe I should ask the guys..." he said to himself before he left.

Elliot paused as he got to the cabin. There was a tie on the doorknob. Elliots ears turned red. He decided to go check out the rec center. He still hadn't explored it yet. There were a few guys outside on the tennis courts and the basketball court as he approached. He sipped into his coffee as he entered the building. There were signs with activities in all directions.

Elliot went towards the weight room. He figured a vigorous workout would kill enough time to let Luke and Allen finish. He set his coffee down next to one of the benches in the nearly deserted room. There were a buffalo and an armadillo at another bench. One spotting for the other. Elliot was impressed by the armadillos strength as he benched what appeared to be at least four hundred pounds.

The lion stretched himself out, getting his upper body nice and loose. He started to feed plates onto the bar. He kept it at a fair one-eighty. He positioned himself beneath the bar and lifted. He sighed as he brought the bar down and huffed as he pushed back up. Elliot did ten reps ten times. He took a short break in between each set. He didn't struggle at all.

The lion slid off a few weights and put larger ones on. He had increased it to two-fifty. He positioned himself and pushed up. He closed his eyes as he resisted from groaning out. He slowly let the bar come down, and he pushed back up. This was causing him to strain but he persisted. Once he hit his tenth rep, a brown paw wrapped around the bar and helped him rerack.

"Whoa there bud," it was the armadillo, "A bit risky to do this on your own."

Elliot sat up and wiped sweat from his brow, "Heh, yeah. I suppose you're right."

The armadillo held out a paw, "The name's Troy."

Elliot shook his hand, "Elliot."

"Not bad," said Troy as he looked over the weights, "Do you normally go for a strenuous workout after an easy one?"

Elliot laughed, "I actually haven't worked out since my twenties."

"Damn," Troy laughed, "Go big or go home type of guy, huh? Just don't injure yourself. You look tough as nails, but we're old man. Just one wrong cramp and we're going down."

"Yeah," Elliot scratched behind his head, "I just really don't know enough people, and you and your friend seemed to be occupied with not letting you die."

"That was my warmup," Troy smirked, "I usually spend my mornings in here, helping people train and learn. I really don't need anymore muscle. If you ever need a hand, let me know, huh?"

"Will do," Elliot nodded.

"Help!" the buffalo from across the room managed to get out as he was attempting to do reps with the four hundred pound bar.

Troy ran over and helped the buffalo rerack. The two of them laughed it off. Troy talked to the buffalo briefly as Elliot dropped his weights back down a bit. He went back to doing his sets. Troy came back over and stood behind the lion.

"So, you're new, right?" Troy asked.

"Erm, yeah," said Elliot as he lifted.

"You enjoying the camp so far?"

"It's pretty nice. I'm getting used to how different things are."

"I feel that. I first came here fourteen years ago, and it was the strangest experience. I fell in love after a week though. This place is just truly amazing, " he helped Elliot rerack as he finished his set, "It's grown so much. People have come and gone, new attractions, new amenities, all sorts of things. Makes me proud to be a part of this experience."

"That's a long time," said Elliot.

"Sure is," said the armadillo as he handed him a water bottle, "I'm always looking for new friends here. Should you need one, I'm a good work out buddy, bartender, and butt kicker."

Elliot smirked, "I can use two of those."

"Who's ass I gotta kick?" he joked.

"Well, thank you," said Elliot, "We'll have to hang out sometime."

"Of course," said Troy, "Maybe explore."

"Yeah," said Elliot as it went over his head, "I haven't experience the camp wholly yet."

"In due time," Troy smiled, "I'm gonna hit the showers. Gotta go chow down some protein too."

"Sure thing," said Elliot, "And thanks again."

Troy waved at him as the armadillo took off. Elliot stood up and stretched himself out. He could feel his arms aching. Two-fifty was too much. The lion made his way back to his cabin, and the door was wide open. Elliot went in to find Victor and Keller talking with his roommates.

"I just really don't know anyone," said Keller, "And you both are Elliots only other friends."

"I have friends," said Elliot.

Keller jumped from his sudden appearance, "I don't mean like that!!!"

"T...they want to invite us up to the l...luxury c...cabin with you," said Luke.

Victor grinned, "We'll all have a great time! It puts no pressure on you Elliot, and besides, I had trouble figuring out who to bring when Keller brought up the point he really don't know anyone else very well other than all of you. Since I'm friends with everybody, I let Keller make the decision. He suggested that we invite these two so you'd feel more comfortable."

"That's great!" said Elliot, "That's very nice of you guys."

"Think nothing of it," said Victor.

"I suppose we should pack an overnight bag," said Allen.

"Aren't you just going to be nude anyway?" asked Elliot.

"I mean, for you and Luke," the wolf laughed.

"Of course."

"We'll see you guys later!" shouted Keller as he and Victor left to pack as well.

Elliot just pulled out a pair of underwear and a shirt and rolled them together. Luke passed Elliot his backpack so he could store them.

"Thanks," said Elliot, "I suppose I should have brought one."

"I...it's ok," said Luke, "P...pack what you need."

The lion stuffed his brush into the pack along with his soap bag. Once they all got packed they made their way to the main lodge to grab some lunch. The three of them chowed down as they waited the time out for their trip up the mountainside. Victor, Keller, and Jiro joined them.

"You boys ready?" asked Victor as he took a seat.

"You betcha," said Allen, "We can't thank you enough for inviting us."

Victor grinned, "Not often people get to go to the lux cabin."

At that moment Jeigor entered the dining hall. Being nearly seven feet tall and quite shiny from his silver scales, he stood out even more right now. His brow was slightly furrowed as he walked across the hall in only a thong and a bow tie. The thong barely hung on around his crotch as it shook back and forth with his walk.

"Gentlemen," he bowed to the six of them as they all chuckled at him, he gave them all a death glare, "Your chariot awaits to bring you to your evening of luxury living."

The six of them stood up with their packs to follow the dragon out of the dining hall. A bunch of wolf whistles followed them out as Jeigor brooded. He occasionally picked down at the thong to readjust it's hold. Jeigor lead them to a truck with seats mounted up in the bed.

The dragon dropped down the gate and unfolded a ladder. The six of them got up into the bed. Jeigor closed the gate and got into the truck. He revved it up and brought them up the mountain. The ride was a bit bumpy, but the view was breathtaking. They were crawling up the tallest mountain in the area so the lake shrank below them as Jeigor took them up.

The dragon soon crossed over the mountainside. The road was riding over the edge of a cliff right now that had Elliot on edge. Jeigor proved he was a precision driver as they reached the end and popped into a clearing. Before them was a three story log cabin with massive bay windows around the whole thing. There were three balconies that hung over the side of the cliff that overlooked the camp down below.

Jeigor pulled up to the side of the building where four figures stood on the front porch of the luxury cabin. They were each adorned in the thong and bow ties just like Jeigor. Elliot saw a familiar face, Chew Toy standing among them. The others were quite the variety.

A tall, black horse with a white chest and socks stood above all of them named Sean.

He was stacked like a brick house with a round, solid gut hanging over his waist, and the tight thong he sported did not contain him at all, leaving him even more flustered looking than Jeigor was as he adjusted it around his apple sized balls. Chew Toy had this same issue, but he'd managed to stretch the fabric out just enough to contain himself. The other two were about the same height and a foot shorter than Chew Toy. One was a brown bat named Jarell, with a big tuft of fuzz hanging off his chin, and the other a gray and brown coyote named Jean-luc. They appeared to have no problem with their attire.

The four of them approached the back of the vehicle as Jeigor lowered the gate for everyone to depart. All four of them bowed to them and offered to take their luggage inside for them. Elliot had a feeling this was going to be a very interesting night. Keller tugged on Victors hand, forcing the shark to trot with him into the luxury cabin. The rest of them followed the Guardians and Jeigor into the cabin.

The inside of the cabin was completely open. The other floors were lofts that overhung the vast inner hall. There were arcade machines, a projector screen, billiards, shelves filled with books of all types, and many other random activities. In the middle of the room was a dining table that could seat at least sixteen, and a vast open kitchen behind it. Pascal was standing inside behind a bar, only the bowtie was visible from this vantage point.

"Hey boys!" Pascal waved to them, "I asked Elric if I could participate since you all got kidnapped from me, and he said yes!"

Allen gave him a high five, "Glad you came!"

Pascal wagged his tail as he offered them all cocktails. Keller had already challenged Victor to a game of air hockey and they called over what they wanted. The wolf got everyone's orders and went to work immediately. They all wandered around the cabin, exploring where everything was. Luke had been up here before so he just plopped down into an easy chair to relax. Pascal walked around with a platter poised in one paw, drinks on top, and served them out.

Elliot was out on the balcony, leaning on the railing as he looked down the mountain. He had a feeling it was going to be hard to leave in the morning. He'd never been to such a beautiful spot in such a long time. He pulled out his smokes and he heard someone clear their throat behind him.

"A light for you sir?" it was Chew Toy with a lighter in hand, lit and ready.

Elliot leaned in and accepted, "Thanks Chew Toy. Good to see you again."

"Good to see you as well Mister Elliot," said the wolf.

"Just Elliot," the lion laughed.

Chew Toy lowered his ears a bit, "I'm sorry, Elliot."

"It's ok," Elliot offered Chew Toy a cigarette.

"It's ok that I join you?" Chew Toy bowed his head.

Elliot flashed back to the other day when Elric had put a hand gently on the wolf, so he did the same, "Of course Chew Toy, you're my friend."

The wolf softly smiled as he pushed up against the lions paw, "Thank you, Elliot." The wolf took the lions gift and smoked with him. This was easier in the garage thought Elliot as he looked over at the smiling wolf. Chew Toy seemed very happy to be standing there with a friend.

"You're pretty skittish," said Elliot, as he put a hand up between the wolf's ears, rubbing on him gently thinking this might be the best way to get him from feeling comfortable, "You don't have to be around me. I'll treat you like I do everyone else, and that's with decency and respect."

"I'm sorry," said the wolf leaning shyly against Elliots paw, "I'm just very distrusting. I had a very bad life experience, so I usually just stick with small groups and people I know well. I did enjoy our time in the garage. You were really nice to me as you are being right now."

If you ever need a friend," said Elliot, "I'll be there. You're too decent of a fella to be hiding out from everyone."

"Even with my scary face?" he asked.

"It's a handsome face," the lion laughed.

Chew Toy blushed as he leaned down against Elliots chest, "You're too nice to me."

Elliot blushed now, but kept his paw where it was on the wolf as he was pressed in against him. Elliot would have to find out later why his behaviour was like this, but he felt it may be too insensitive of a question. His ex must have really fucked him up.

Pascal arrived with Elliots drink, "Here you go El. A malibu sunrise!... Chew Toy, are you ok?"

The wolf nodded.

"Elliot, are you ok?" Pascal squinted at him.

"Uh, yeah," Elliot chuckled as he took his drink, "Just hanging out with Chew Toy."

Pascal grinned, "Well, if you need to peel him off of you, he's very ticklish." Pascal prodded the other wolf in his ribs. Chew Toy huffed as he let go of the lion. He rubbed the back of his head and stuck his tongue out at Pascal.

"Meanie," said Chew Toy with a soft smile.

"He's a clingy boy," said Pascal as he went over and gave the other wolf belly rubs, Chew Toy dropped onto his back and started kicking a leg, "Aren'tcha boy?"

"Hehe, stop," Chew Toy wagged his tail.

Elliot was nonplussed as he watched the spectacle. Luke came up to save the day, "H...hey El! W...we're gonna play p...pool. Jiro needs a p...partner."

"Sure thing," said Elliot as he left the two wolves behind.

"Weird?" asked Luke as they walked over to the pool table.

"Different," said Elliot.

Luke laughed, "Y...you're out of your c...comfort zone, and y...you say different?"

"I've come to expect the unexpected," said Elliot as he grabbed a cue stick.

Allen was busy chalking up the tip of his stick. Jiro had just finished racking the balls

and gave a thumbs up. Allen lined himself up with the cue ball and shot it down the table. Balls shot in all directions as the wolf really put some muscle behind it, but not a single one went in.

"Are you kidding me?!" the wolf yelled at the table.

Jiro laughed as he approached the table. The bat picked an angle and lowered himself down. He kept a close eye on the cue as he lined up and shot. The queball zipped at a curve around the table and knocked the one ball in.

"Oh great..." said Allen as he leaned onto his stick, causing it to bend, "We have a magician."

Jiro did have a knack for making the ball do what he wanted. He managed to sink three more in before missing. Luke stepped up to take his turn. The rat was pretty good himself as he dropped two in. Elliot squatted down to look at the table. He'd spent plenty of time shooting at the bar since that was the only thing to do in his town. Elliot tapped the cue ball with grace as he dropped three balls in. He sighed as the eight ball bounced around the corner he was aiming for.

"This is awful," said Allen as he lined up his shot, "You two are dangerous."

Jiro was blissfully unaware what Allen had said, he just knew they were going to win. Allen dropped in four balls, cleaning up most of the table. He dramatically fell down to the floor as he knew Jiro was going to hit his shot. The bat tapped his stick on a corner pocket and sunk the eight ball in with ease.

Elliot gave a high five to Jiro, "Rematch boys?"

"Only if I get Jiro," said Allen.

"Hey!" Luke shot at him.

After several games of Jiro and Elliot winning, Allen gave up and brooded. Luke consoled him. Jiro started to show off a bunch of trick shots. He was better than good. He made the ball zip at incredible curves around obstacles he placed on the table. He gave a bow to their applause.

"Good job," Allen huffed as he gave the bat a thumbs up and a headlock with a noogie.

Jiro flailed around, slapping at Allens arms as the wolf manhandled him. The bat was smiling as he got tugged around and did his best to fight back against the big wolf. Allen released him and Jiro immediately leapt up to the next floor and stuck his tongue out.

"Hey now," said Victor, "Don't you be pickin' on him."

"He's a monster," said Allen, "I've never had my ass kicked so badly at pool."

Victor looked up as the bat signed down to him, "He says you're too big for tiny balls."

Allen raised an eyebrow at him, "Is that the best you got?"

Jiro shrugged and dropped down to the main floor. He patted the wolfs arm and made a muscular pose and walked around. He pushed one of the balls across the table and made an oh no face as it bounced off the other side.

"This isn't fair," Allen laughed, "How can I pick on someone back that I can't talk back to."

"Easy," said Victor as poked the bat in his side.

Jiro jumped and swatted his paws at the shark. He shook his finger at him and angrily signed at him. He looked quite flustered, "Don't tell him my secrets."

"Ohhh," Allen grinned evilly, "He's ticklish."

Jiro's eyes widened as he took off. Allen gave chase. Pascal and Jeigor came over with fresh drinks for everyone. The whole lodge was beginning to smell really good as the Guardians had started cooking them all dinner. There was a large pot roast with potatoes, carrots, and green beans, and a cheesecake made by Jean-luc and Jarell. Chew Toy set the table for the twelve of them.

Sean set the large pot roast into the middle of the table and called everyone over, "Come and get it boys!"

The Guardians and counselors stood by a chair each to seat everyone. Allen had returned with Jiro, the bat riding piggyback on him. Allen dropped him down as they grabbed a seat. Once everyone was settled in, the servants took their seats with them.

"You guys are so precious in your thongs," Victor smirked.

Jeigor reached his hands down and shot his thong at Victor, "They're so damn uncomfortable. You can wear it."

Victor chuckled as he strapped the jock over Kellers face, "I'm good, hehe."

"Hey now," Keller blushed as he pulled the thong down to wear it as a necklace, "Lets...uh...let's eat! This looks delicious!"

"Thank you," Sean bowed his head, "It's the only time we get to play chef."

Pascal forked at the pot roast and pulled a big chunk off, "Maybe we could ask Elric if you could move over to being one of the chefs."

The horse chuckled as he served himself some veggies, "Because no one gardens as well as I do."

"That's the truth," Jarell chuckled, "The rest of us are better at being handymen. Someone's gotta keep the grounds looking pretty."

"Being able to be all your servants here is good enough for me," Sean grinned, "It makes it extra special."

"Extra special indeed," said Allen in a mouthful of roast, "It's sooooo goooood."

Luke passed him a napkin since his muzzle was covered in gravy, "Dirty d...dog."

Allen chuckled as he dabbed at his muzzle. The twelve of them ate and enjoyed the company. Elliot was chowing down his food when he noticed that two pairs of eyes were watching him with dreamy expressions. He blushed as he ate, determined to get to that dessert.

Victor stood up and started to slice the cheesecake, "What say our servants join us in the hottub after this, huh? They deserve a break for providing such a grand dinner."

"Here, here!" said the table as they raised their cups.

Sean smiled, "You guys are too kind. We don't often get to enjoy some R&R."

"You guys work around the clock," said Allen.

Jean-luc was helping Victor dish up the cheesecakes and was passing them out, "Yeah, but you guys are worth it. And the payoff is great. Elric treats the staff and his patrons like kings among men."

"T...that he does," said Luke as he drooled over his cheesecake.

Keller let out a moan as he ate his cheesecake, "Oh my god...my dick is so hard from this."

Jarell grinned and winked at Keller, "Glad to hear that."

All the food was gone, and the Guardians set to work on clearing the table and getting the dishes done. Elliot and Jiro went outside to have an after dinner smoke. As they stood at the railing Jiro put a notepad down and started writing.

"I'm so happy you came with us," he wrote.

Elliot took the pen and wrote back, "Thank you for inviting me. Today's been a lot of fun."

"Not only are you my hero," the bat wrote, "But I wanted to get to know you better," Elliot nodded in response so he continued writing, turning red, "I also wanted to ask if maybe we could get to know each other on a more personal level?"

Elliot turned red as well as he took the pen, "I'm unsure at this time. We did just meet. It's been awhile since I've opened up to anyone, and I've kept the image of being straight all these years. I'm afraid of what may happen should I show a different side. I'm perfectly fine with guys, just nervous." He sighed as he put the pen down.

Jiro read over what he wrote and contemplated for a few moments, "Don't let me pressure you, but we are at Dad Camp. I'm not quite sure how you've missed it, but everyone here is comfortable with their sexuality. Everyone flirts with each other, and more. This is our escape from prying eyes."

Elliot read it and sighed a bit, "We'll see where things go. I'm still nervous."

Jiro read over it, and looked up at Elliot. He held open his arms and nodded, showing that he understands. The lion hugged the bat against him. Jiro gave his chest a nuzzle as they held one another for as long as Elliot wanted. The lion patted him on the back and he let go.

Jiro wrote down on the pad, "I'm glad you're not upset for me coming forward."

Elliot smiled as he wrote, "You're too...." he hesitated, but wrote it anyway, "cute to make me upset."

Jiro smiled and gave the lion a playful elbow bump for flirting with him. The two of them conversed back and forth for about an hour. They got to know one another better as they went. Jiro even showed Elliot a few signs to help him with getting Jiro's attention for short communications such as good to see you, and how are you, and their responses.

Allen soon came out and interrupted them, "Hey boys, we're getting in the hot tub upstairs!"

Elliot let Jiro know what was going on and they both decided to join. They went up the stairs and exited out onto the third floor balcony. The hot tub filled half the balcony and overlooked the valley below. Victor had invited the Guardians and counselors to join them. Keller had all of their thongs around his neck now as he was just basking in the crotch smells of six large males. Jiro stripped himself nude and hopped in to join them. Elliot took off his shirt and hesitated. Was he really about to get into a hot tub with eleven undressed men?

Keller started chanting his name, "Elliot! Elliot! Elliot!"

Victor shoved him underwater, "You don't have to if you don't want to El."

The lion blushed and took a deep breath as he slid his shorts and underwear off, "I think I should try."

Keller cheered for him as he slipped into the hot water with the rest of them. He positioned himself between Jiro and Luke. The water felt so great. Elliot was quite sore from all the adventuring he'd done so far this week and this helped him relax. The lion leaned his head back to look up at the night sky. The stars twinkled down at him as he let himself clear his mind to reflect on his feelings. If whether or not he can accept changes of such drastic nature that's far from his normal day to day. He felt someone slip up over his leg and take a seat.

He looked down, "Keller...what are you doing?"

The coyote grinned as he grabbed Elliot by his mane, "You're being open and comfortable! I gotta make sure you're the same Elliot from a few days ago."

Elliot played it cooly, "I've been taken over by a sentient symbiod, and it's taken over my brain."

"I fuckin' knew it," Keller gasped as he strapped a thong over his nose, "Good thing I have enough medical masks to block you out."

Elliot laughed as he pushed the coyote backwards, "Ah yes, the smell of jock sweat is our only weakness."

Keller laughed as he splashed Elliot, "But it's so good...." the coyote blushed, "Sorry..."

"I just tack it up to your weirdness," Elliot laughed.

Keller grinned as he sniffed his bouquet of thongs, "This isn't even my final form."

"What does that even mean?" Allen asked.

Keller swelled and started on what that even meant. Allen had instant regrets. The coyote went on and on about about all the anime shows he watched. The only ones that actually understood him were Victor and Jiro. Elliot figured it was a good thing that Keller got paired up with them. The three of them worked together well.

He wasn't quite sure about his own cabinmates. The both of them were holding each other as they basked in the bubbles. They were both decent, but Elliot wasn't sure he had much in common with them. He figured he'd have to get closer with them. Perhaps they were both car guys that liked to laze around and watch horrible movies on television. He had doubts that muscle buff Allen was like that at all.

Elliot pulled himself out of the tub and excused himself for a few minutes. He shook his fur out before reaching into his shorts to get his smokes and lighter. He walked over to the other end of the balcony, shaking his head as a few whistles followed him. He leaned up against the railing as he lit up.

The sound of wet paws against wood came in behind him, "May I join you?"

"Sure Chew Toy," said Elliot.

The wolf had his own smokes this time, "I hope you're comfortable, sir."

Elliot blushed as he got a full view of Chew Toy without any clothes now. He really was quite the handsome wolf. Despite scars from bites and who knows what else running down one side of his body, he was ruggedly perfect.

The lion nodded, "Yeah, I think I'm over being uneasy. Everyone's very patient and kind, and that's helped a lot. Even people I don't know."

"We're here to have fun, sir," he said.

Elliots ears burned red as that was the second time he called him sir, "What about you? You seem as nervous as I am sometimes."

Chew Toy started to lower his ears but perked back up, "I know. I've been working on it for awhile now. I'm slowly improving. Elric is really proud of me, sir."

Elliot nodded, "He seems to support a lot of you in different ways."

"Yes, sir," he nodded, "He's a really good man. I can't thank him enough for saving me. I work as hard as I can for him. I feel so flattered he invites me to work out here every year. It's sometimes hard for to have self control considering how I was used."

"Used?" Elliot asked.

"I'm sorry, sir" he lowered his ears.

"No," said Elliot, "It's ok. You have me curious now."

Chew Toy lowered his head and Elliot did what anyone else seems to do when he gets like that. He rubbed the wolf between the ears and he smiled shyly and started to warm up to the lion again.

"My ex messed me up something bad," he said, "I used to go to work and hang out with friends. I had a fairly normal life. Then my ex started abusing me. It started off as playful roughhousing. Then it gradually got worse as time went on. Every day I got home from work, he'd beat me down and force himself into me. He bit me so badly most days, and it became harder and harder for me to cover up the abuse. When I told him that my coworkers and boss were questioning me about it, he told me to quit my job. He bought me a cage to live in from that point. I was trapped for three years, and looked for every option I could to escape that wouldn't leave me homeless. I randomly found this place during a day where he allowed me to stay out of my cage and use the internet and watch t.v. I came here with my one pair of clothes, and I planned to live off the land and use the camp grounds as my own home when it was closed for the season. I was stupid and used one of his credit cards. He showed up a few days after the camp started. He snuck around, finding which cabin I was staying in. I was on my way back from swimming in the lake when he ran up with a baseball bat. He fractured a few ribs and broke my nose and jaw. Elric came racing across and slammed him full on with his horns. He got it worse than I did. He spends his life in a wheelchair now."

"Woah," said Elliot, "What happened with Elric?"

"He paid all the legal fees and brushed it off like it was nothing," Chew Toy continued, "He also paid for all my medical bills, and visited me once a week while I was in the hospital. Once I was well enough, he invited me to stay with him until I fully healed. I worked as his maid for about a year, and then he moved me on to being his groundskeeper. I'm his worker boy. He treats me like a prince too. Much better than the situation I was in." He wagged his tail and grinned.

Elliot had teared up. He'd never heard of anyone living such an awful life outside of what he saw on television. Chew Toy was in a good place now. Elliot pulled the wolf into a hug. Chew Toy wrapped his arms around the lion.

"It's ok," he said, "I'm better now, sir."

"Group hug!!!" Pascal came running up and threw his arms around them, "El! Are you crying?"

"No..." he said as he rubbed his face into his shoulder.

Pascal grinned and smooched his cheek, "Awww, Chew Toy telling you sad stuff?"

Chew Toy lowered his ears, "He asked, sir."

Pascal grinned and gave him a smooch too, "Don't be sad. We're all together here, having fun. Let's make more happy memories! I mean, hell, we managed to get Elliot naked in front of all of us without having to coerce him."

"Hey," said Elliot defensively, "You've been manipulating me?"

Pascal choked on his words,"W...No! Not at all! Maybe a little... I don't know!"

Elliot hugged the two wolves to him, "What are you guys even doing to me?"

Pascal grinned, "Giving you a little push?"

The lion laughed and let the two of them go, "A big push more like. Everyone else is at least a bit more gentle at it than you."

Pascal winked at him, "Go big or go home, El.... But don't go home... We like you."

Elliot smirked, "I like you guys too."

"Come on," said Pascal to Chew Toy, "I'll make us some fresh drinks in the kitchen. I could use some help bringing them up."

"I could help too," Elliot offered.

"You need to get back in that hot tub, mister," Pascal said sternly, "We're your servants," he stuck his tongue out as he swished away with Chew Toy in tow.

Elliot shook his head and went back into the hot tub. Everyone had gotten more cuddly after he had left. Luke waved Elliot over to him and Allen. The lion obliged as he sat down next to Luke. The rat wriggled himself in between the two large males, hugging his arms around them. Elliot blushed as he put an arm around the rat and the wolfs arm. Allen smirked.

"My boys," Allen chuckled.

"Mmhmm," Luke agreed as he pulled them in closer, "Y...you mean mine."

Allen gave Luke a smooch on his head, "Ok, yours."

Elliot laughed, "I wasn't aware we were having a threeway."

Luke blushed and stuttered worse than usual, "T..t...tha....nnn..not w..what I m...meant!"

Allen grinned evilly, "You can take the front, I'll get the back."

Elliot decided to tease along, "Why not both in the back?"

Luke gasped as he nearly drowned himself in embarrassment as he was trying to sink himself underwater, "I...I...!!!"

Allen gave Luke a smooch, "Don't worry babe. We'll go easy. Glad to see Elliots come out to play."

"Heh," Elliot smirked, "You guys have tested my limits, and I think I'm warming up to you all. You guys mess with me about as much as my roommates back home do."

"Who's messin?" Allen winked at him.

The lion blushed. Pascal and Chew Toy returned with platters full of drinks. They went around and distributed them to their owners. The two wolves got into the tub and joined Elliot, making him the center of attention. Chew Toy snuggled up against Elliots side and Pascal against Chew Toy. Elliot looked back up at the night sky to take deep breaths as he adjusted. He could feel himself turn super red as he realized he was turned on by all this attention.

"You ok El?" Pascal asked.

"Just unexpected," he said, "but not unwelcome."

Pascal winked at him, "You gettin' soft on me El?"

"Not at all," he said.

"Pretty sure he's hard," said Chew Toy causing Elliot to jump as the wolf had just prodded his stiff prick.

Elliot turned red as he became really flustered, "I...uh..."

Pascal laughed, "Well, well, Elliot. The truth comes out."

"You guys leave him be," said Allen, "It took a lot for him to open up this much already."

Elliot was relieved Allen interjected, "Thanks Allen. But I..." he sighed and downed his drink, "I'll be right back."

Elliot stepped out of the hot tub, doing his best to cover himself as he went inside. He made his way to the bathroom and closed the door, making sure it was locked behind him. He sat back against the door and slid down to the floor.

"Why am I so nervous?" he asked himself, "Is it too many people? Am I not as interested in men as I once was?" He put his face into his paws, massaging against his temples. There was a light knock on the door.

"Elliot," it was Pascal, "You ok?"

"Yeah," he lied.

Elliot heard the wolf lean against the door and slide down to the floor to sit back to back with him, "Chew Toy is sorry he scared you. He's gone and cornered himself."

Elliot chuckled a bit, "I suppose I scared him."

"Naw, he'll be fine," said Pascal, "Question is, will you be fine?"

"I'm scared," Elliot confessed.

"You haven't had these feelings in a long time, huh?" said Pascal, "It's understandable that you're scared. You haven't felt emotions like this in a long time. We've showered you in so much love and care, you don't know how to handle it."

Elliot leaned his head back against the door, "Maybe you're right..."

Pascal grinned, "You know El, if you need more time, I can bring you back out into the woods where I found you, and leave you there," this caused Elliot to laugh audibly, "Eyyy, there we go. See? You're ok. Just come back out, enjoy yourself with us. We won't be poking your dick anymore tonight."

Elliot let out a long drawn out sigh before pushing himself up with a grumble, "Alright. I suppose. I'm holding you accountable." Elliot opened the bathroom door.

Pascal grinned, "But damn, you don't stop being eye candy for everyone." Elliot shut the door. "ELLIOT!" Pascal knocked on the door laughing, "I'm kidding! I'm not, but I am. Get back out here you grump."

Elliot cracked the door open and peered out, "Only if you behave."

"I promise," he said as he crossed his heart while doing the boy scout salute.

Elliot narrowed his eyes at him, "Ok, fine. I suppose I should go save Chew Toy?"

Pascal led Elliot to Chew Toy, the wolf threw himself to Elliots feet and hugged them, "I'm sorry Elliot, please forgive me."

Elliot patted Chew Toy between his ears, "It's ok Danny. Come on, get up."

Chew Toy stood shakily to his feet, "No one uses my real name, sir, heh."

"It made you get up, didn't it?" Elliot ruffled the wolf's headfur.

"Yeah," Chew Toy bowed his head as he wagged his tail a little.

The three of them joined back in the hottub. It wasn't long at all before Luke had fallen asleep between Elliot and Allen. The two of them exchanged looks of amusement before pulling him out.

Luke let out a stuttering yawn as they set him onto his feet, "B...but...I don't wanna go."

Everyone got dried off and ready for bed. There was no lie about the bed when it was described to Elliot. It looked like six California kings pushed against one another covered in silk linens and furs, and a ton of lush hotel pillows. Everyone piled on, finding spots for them to fill. Elliot sat on the edge of one of the beds with Victor.

The shark leaned over to him, "Hey, Jiro wants to know if it's ok to cuddle up with you?"

"Nothing more?" Elliot asked.

"Not unless you ask for it," the shark grinned.

Elliot smirked, "I'm ok with that."

Victor waved Jiro over. The bat looked beyond elated and Elliot felt quite flushed. He's not had someone swoon like this over him in a long time. Elliot laid back and Jiro snuggled up against his side. Elliot closed his eyes as he pulled the bat against him. Jiro's touch was so gentle as he rubbed a paw over his belly. This felt quite nice. Pascal turned out the lights and dive bombed into the beds.

There was a yelp as someone had slapped his ass. Elliot rolled onto his side chuckling as he pulled Jiro in close. The bat hugged around his arms. Elliot could feel his heartbeat against his chest as he enjoyed the comfort of being held. Once Pascal and the others calmed down, Elliot and Jiro had fallen asleep in each others arms.
