Learning The Ropes

“Celestia, I can’t wait to get off,” Lost Way said with a weary sigh as he brushed the bits of snow off of his fur. Dragging the last loads of cargo into the castle through the wintery snow

“C’mon, it’s not that bad,” Gallus said with a roll of his eyes.

“Easy for you to say,” Lost Way replied as he shivered. “Unlike you, MY coat isn’t made for this kind of climate. Zebra are made for hot weather not up in the mountains or skies where you gryphons fly.”

“It’s kind of funny,” Gallus said. “Hearing my superior complain to me. Aren’t you supposed to be setting an example for us young cadets or something?”

“Yeah, no,” Lost Way said. “Leave that stuff to the guards who wanna be a captain someday. I for one am very fine in my own little sector just doing my job and getting a nice little paycheck. Feel free to suck up, though.”

“Heh, fat chance,” Gallus said.

Lost Way liked Gallus. He was relatively new to the job of a royal guard, and as such he commonly needed to be guided around on most days to get a feel for all the duties it required. For the past several months Lost Way had gotten closer to him. He knew what it was like to look different in a sea full of ponies, and even if most of the guards treated him well it could never hurt to have a friendly face. Gilda apparently knew him from back in Gryphonstone and had asked Lost Way and Crash to make sure he didn’t get up to trouble when training to be a guard. Luckily for the two of them Gallus seemed to want to stay as far away from trouble as possible. He was a hard worker and eager to prove himself, which was something Lost Way admired. Despite being less than a decade older he had grown to think of himself as sort of a mentor to the young gryphon.

“I for one can’t wait to get this crap over with,” Lost Way said. “Spending a few weeks on holiday is gonna be nice.”

“Going someplace?” Gallus asked.

“Probably not,” Lost Way said. “Crash’s folks are visiting someplace warm this year for Hearths Warming Eve. I’m just looking forward to cozying up with Crash and Gilda near the fire and getting buzzed on cider.”

“That sounds nice,” Gallus said before letting out a long-winded sigh. There was a slight frown on his face.

“What about you?” Lost Way asked. “You’ve worked like the past three holidays. You taking this one off?”

“I guess,” Gallus said with a shrug.

“You guess?” Lost questioned.

“Captain said I had to,” Gallus said. “I would have preferred to work through the holiday, honestly.”

“Seriously?” Lost Way asked. “I don’t think the captain likes suck-ups. You don’t gotta work yourself to death just to get ahead here.”

“It’s not that,” Gallus said, frowning still. “I just… I don’t really have anything to go back home to, really. I mean I don’t really have any family there. I’ll probably just end up staying at my apartment around here.”

“Well, what about your friends?” Lost Way asked. He could feel himself begin to frown too. Gallus had mentioned before that he really had no family to speak of save for a guardian who was a grumpy old gryphon, but even he wasn’t related to him.

“Mmm, a few offered to come visit me or have me visit them,” Gallus said. “But they already did that a ton when we were still in school, and now that we’re all older and have jobs it’s even harder for them to make time to see their families. Plus a vacation in the dragon kingdom or with Yona’s family sounds a bit more taumatizing than it does relaxing.”

“I uh…” Lost Way trailed off. He felt silly for having nothing to say. All he knew was that he felt bad for bringing the subject up. Gallus might have been an adult now, but right now he looked like a sad kid to Lost Way.

“Woah, Sorry,” Gallus said. He gave a shake of his head and tried his best to put on a smile, though Lost Way could see a glimmer of that previous melancholy still lingering in his eyes. “I didn’t mean to be a downer there.”

“No, it’s fine,” Lost Way said. “I should be the one who's sorry. I didn’t mean to bring that up.”

“It’s fine, it’s not like I go around advertising it,” Gallus said. He looked down at the ground with a twisted frown on his face. He seemed to be feeling a little awkward, still clearly blaming himself for the awkward silence in the air. That made Lost Way’s chest ache. “Hey, once we’re done with these loads we can probably head home for the holidays? I know it sucks in the cold but once we do it you can go sit by the fire.”

Gallus began to walk off back toward the exit out in the snowy courtyard, but just before he took a step out Lost Way felt himself speak. It didn’t really fully process in his head before he started talking, but before he knew it the words were coming out.

“Y-You know!” Lost Way said. “Our place is like… pretty big!”

Gallus stopped and looked over his shoulder.

“Uh… Okay?”

“I mean,” Lost Way paused. “You already know Gilda, and Crash and I… Since you’re gonna be in town anyway you could stay with us for the holidays.”

“Seriously?” Gallus asked. He turned back around. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

“Hey, if Gilda says you’re a good kid then I trust her,” Lost Way said. “Plus me and Crash have gotten to know you pretty well these past few months. I was already planning on making a huge dinner for us with a bunch of foods from Gryphonstone Gilda said she was gonna help show me how to make.”

Gallus would normally hate it when Lost Way called him a kid, but instead of annoyance like usual there a spark of hope in his eyes. He looked for a moment like he couldn’t believe his ears and was fighting the urge to get too excited before he squeaked out one last question.

“Really?” Gallus asked. “Are you sure I wouldn’t be ruining your guys’ alone time or something? Crash and Gilda would be fine with it?”

“I’m sure I can talk them into it no problem” Lost Way said. “I can ask Crash in the locker room when we’re leaving, and I’m sure Gilda won’t say no to you of all creatures staying with us.”

“I… Thank you!” Gallus said. Before letting himself get too excited he blushed a little and coughed before forcing himself to calm down. “I-I mean… If you’re sure.”

“Tell you what,” Lost Way said before walking up to Gallus and putting a hoof on his shoulder. “Once we’re off duty you can go to your apartment and pack up the things you wanna take with you to our place. I promise you Crash won’t say no.”

“Okay!” Gallus said.

Seeing him smile he really did look adorable, though Lost Way had a feeling that he would protest if he said something like that out loud. Instead Lost Way chuckled and lifted his hoof to ruffle the few feathers that were sticking out from under Gallus’ helmet.

“C’mon,” Lost way said. “Let’s get this shift over with, then when we get to my place I’ll make us all some cocoa.”

—--------------------------------------

As it turned out Crash was more than willing to allow Gallus to stay with them. In fact, from the moment Lost Way explained to him Gallus’ predicament he nearly lept at the opportunity to offer the young gryphon some assistance.

Gilda too saw no problems with this arrangement. She actually was quite happy to see Gallus, and the idea of letting him stay with them made her smile. Lost Way hadn’t thought about it before, but it made perfect sense that Gilda would be glad to have a familiar face around for the holidays even if she considered both Crash and Lost family by this point. Upon agreeing to let him stay over she proceeded to lock his head right under her foreleg and began to give the feathers on top of his head a rough noogie.

“Aw, you kidding?” Gilda asked. “I’d LOVE to have this dork around!”

“Ow! Ow! Gilda, ow!” Gallus snapped as he squirmed and writhed unable to free himself.

“Heh, guess the guard hasn’t made you any less scrawny, huh?” Gilda asked.

Once she had released him Lost Way got started on the cocoa that he had promised. Crash was quick to show Gallus where the shower was and even rushed up to the attic to pull out extra blankets and pillows so the gryphon could make himself a proper nest in the living room for when it was time to sleep. Gallus seemed a little overwhelmed by all the attention, but it was in a good way where he kept smiling and blushing at just how nice everypony around him was being.

By the time Crash had come down with the mass of blankets and pillows Lost Way was just bringing out the mugs of cocoa.

“Oh, wow,” Gallus said. “That’s like, not from a packet is it?”

“Nope!” Lost Way said with a grin. “Homemade!”

“This stuff is better than sex,” Gilda said with a groan as she picked up the mug. Suddenly she paused and jumped a little, realizing what she said. “I-I mean, uh…”

“I’m not a kid anymore, Gilda,” Gallus said. “I know what sex is.”

“Sorry,” Gilda said with a chuckle. “I’m just used to you being that dork who came home from school and couldn’t shut up about all the friends you made.”

“Oh, come on,” Gallus said. “Are you gonna just tease me this whole holiday?”

“I mean, not when I’m sleeping,” Gilda said. “Duh.”

“C’mon, he’s had a long day,” Crash said with a chuckle.

Thankfully it seemed that there wasn’t even a hint of awkwardness in the air with Gallus around. He was able to slip easily into the conversation with ease, and despite the fact the four of them had never all been together at the same time it felt beyond easy to treat it like they had been living like this for weeks. They talked a little about work and how Gallus had been getting the hang of things the longer he had been there, and of course he was quick to say to Gilda that both Lost Way and Crash had done a ton to help him adjust and fit in.

“Trying to butter me up?” Crash asked. “I’m not the one in charge of your raise.”

“I-I’m not!” Gallus whined before blushing. “You two have been really helpful, I mean it… Sheesh, I need to stop giving you two compliments.”

“Aww, don’t be like that,” Gilda said. “What about me, where’s my compliment?”

“What have you done to earn one?” Gallus asked.

They really did have that sort of relationship where it was clear they grew up together. Enough to push each other’s buttons but not take it personally, and despite the fact that Gilda mocked she was going to put him in another headlock she backed away last second as Gallus squealed and backed up, prompting the other two boys to laugh.

After things calmed down and Lost Way took the empty mugs away it was already starting to look like twilight outside. With winter came shorter days, and even now it was already starting.

“So um… Can I ask something personal?” Gallus asked.

“What is it?” Crash replied.

“Was being in a herd something you always wanted?”

It wasn’t surprising that Gallus asked a question like that. Everypony who knew the three of them did at one point or another. Though something about the way Gallus said it seemed different. He suddenly got far more quiet and looked down to the floor with a clear blush forming on his cheeks. As Lost Way returned to the living room Gallus began to look around at all three pairs of eyes on him.

“I always did,” Crash said. “But Lost and Gilda kind of fell into it cause of me.”

“You make it sound like you guys tricked me,” Gilda said with a roll of her eyes. “I mean, I guess I never thought of it before. I wasn’t against the idea or anything, but it didn’t cross my mind till I met these dorks.”

“Oh, I see,” Gallus said. He folded his talons over his lap and began to fiddle with them. Lost Way could sense something else was on his mind.

“Was there something else you wanted to ask?” Lost Way said.

“It’s nothing,” Gallus said with a shake of his head.

“Oh come on,” Gilda said. “I know that look. It’s the same one you used to give when you were scared to ask Grandpa Gruff for something.”

Gallus blushed a bit. Knowing that Gilda could see through him that easily got to him, but upon realizing that suddenly three sets of eyes were all on him he let out a little sigh.

“I’ve had this thing for a while with a few of my friends,” Gallus said. “I thought we were just joking when we started out but ever since we graduated we uh… We flirt some. Sometimes a little more than that.”

“Oooh,” Lost Way said. The zebra couldn’t help himself. Gallus was normally tight-lipped about his personal life at work outside of friends, and for the longest time Lost Way had been curious about his romantic involvements but had thought it rude to ask outside of the occasional question if he was seeing anypony, to which he always replied he wasn’t. “Do tell.”

“C’mon, guys,” Crash said. “Don’t tease him.”

Gallus kept staring down. It was clear he had never really spoken about this out loud before to perhaps anypony.

“I have these two friends,” Gallus said. “One’s a pony and the other’s a dragon.”

“You mean Sandbar and that Smolder girl?” Gilda asked.

“Uh-huh,” Gallus said with a slight nod. “It’s nothing serious… I think. We were all hanging out together at my place a few weeks ago. We drank some cider then Smolder said as a joke we should play spin the bottle. I laughed at her but then Sandbar actually put it down and… I-I dunno, it sort of just happened. Sandbar’s bottle landed on Smolder first and I really thought they were gonna chicken out till they didn’t. Then when it was my turn it landed on Sandbar and we kind of just keep doing it for a while until we all kissed each other a few times. Then we stopped using the bottle entirely.”

“I thought my college years were raunchy,” Lost Way said.

“We didn’t do anything but kiss,” Gallus said. “I’ve never kissed a dragon or a pony before… or a guy. I’ve known I like both guys and girls for a bit now and they know too. They were the first I told along with my other friends.”

“Did you feel anything?” Crash asked. He was interested now as he scooted up closer to Gallus. “When you kissed them?”

“Maybe? I guess?” Gallus said. “I was a little freaked out at first but the more we did it the less scared I felt. After it was all done I felt really torn between them till I… Well till I thought about you guys.”

“Us?” Lost Way asked.

“Mhmm,” Gallus nodded his head as he answered. “You two had mentioned it to me once or twice. After it happened I started thinking about it more and wondered if it was something I should do too.”

“It isn’t something you should do just because you can’t decide,” Crash said. He reached out his hoof and put it on Gallus’ shoulder. For the first time in a while Gallus looked up to meet one of their faces. “But if you feel something for both of them it might be an idea. Have you three talked about it since then?”

“A little,” Gallus admitted. “We kind of all got on the same bed that night and cuddled. The morning after the two said they had fun. Smolder joked how she wanted to do it again and Sandbar actually pulled me aside before he left and kissed me again. Both her saying that and him doing it made me feel all…”

“Sappy?” Gilda asked.

Gallus nodded.

“That wasn’t all… The two of them the night before tried to go a little further.”

Crash must have widened his eyes because Gallus suddenly blushed again and looked down.

“Further how?” Lost Way pressed.

“Well… They kind of groped each other a bit, and then me. I did it back too but then I suddenly got all panicked. I think they realized I was scared of it going that fast and both backed off. That’s when we decided to just cuddle a bit.”

Gallus squirmed. Explaining this was clearly getting to him, but getting it off his chest, in general, seemed to be helping so he pressed onward.

“I didn’t know what to do with either of them,” Gallus said. “I didn’t want to embarrass myself. I know both of them have experience with that stuff but I’ve never…”

Gallus trailed off. He didn’t need to finish the sentence.

Crash could feel a pang of sympathy for the younger gryphon.

“You know,” Crash said. “When Lost and I started out I was really inexperienced too. When I met Gilda it was the same thing all over again cause it was my first time with a woman. If they care about you then that sort of thing shouldn’t matter.”

“I guess,” Gallus said. “It’s not just about not wanting to save my own feathers either, I guess. I want to make them feel good, too. I guess that’s why I brought it up at all. I was hoping you three could… show me?”

Gallus’ face was bright pink by now, and very quickly the rest of theirs followed. All of them went to say something at once, interrupted each other, and then cut themselves off and silence fell again.

“Whaddya mean show you?” Gilda asked.

“Nevermind,” Gallus said. “Oh my gosh I can’t believe I just asked that… I-I… I don’t know what I’m thinking. I should just…”

“Woah woah woah! Hold up,” Lost Way said when Gallus began fluttering his wings to get up in a panicked tizzy as if he were about to literally shoot up from the ceiling away from the awkward situation he was in. The zebra grabbed him by the sides and yanked him back down onto the couch where he sat there looking as overwhelmed as a steaming teapot. He instantly hid his face behind his talons and let out a long groan.

“I’m sorry,” Gallus said. “You guys are just the only creatures I know well enough to talk to about this stuff. Ocellus and Silverstream can’t keep a secret to save their lives and you three just seem so happy whenever you talk about each other. I… I really want what you have, I think.”

“So… What?” Gilda asked. “You want us to help you practice how to get laid? Wouldn’t that kind of upset Sandbar and Smolder if they knew?”

Gallus shook his head.

“Smolder once told me that she never wanted to be tied down to one creature. Sandbar never said anything like that, but… I mentioned to him in private that after that thing happened I had no idea what to do. He said it was fine if I took time to figure things out or even dated around a little,” Gallus said. He spoke a bit quickly, clearly still nervous.

Lost Way looked back and forth between Crash and Gilda. Both of them seemed to be at a bit of a loss for words, so it seemed up to him to say something.

“You know,” Lost Way said. “We have talked about the possibility of opening up our relationship to somepony not in our herd just for fun… Gilda, you mentioned you had a few friends who might like to meet Crash for that, right? Maybe this is a chance for us to test that out and help Gallus.”

“We did, yeah,” Crash said.

“It was mostly a joke,” Gilda said with a long sigh. “But yeah, when we talked about that I guess I was serious with being open to the idea… I guess the dweeb has gotten a little cute since he got older.”

“H-Hey!” Gallus snapped.

“I’m warming up to the idea here!” Gilda said.

“Look,” Crash said, interrupting the two. He looked over to Gallus who had been sitting there silently just blushing this entire time. “This isn’t something you’ll regret or feel guilty about, right?”

“I don’t think so?” Gallus said. After a few moments of Crash giving him a stern stare, he shook his head. “I-I mean no! I won’t.”

“Okay,” Crash said before closing his eyes and letting out a sigh. He looked to Lost Way and Gilda. “You two feel the same?”

“I mean…” Gilda paused. “Sure. Why the hell not? It’ll give me more reasons to tease the brat if I know how to make him squirm even better.”

“I’m fine with it too,” Lost Way said.

“Okay,” Crash said. He looked the most nervous out of the four, but it seemed to be less for himself and moreso for the sake of every other creature’s feelings. Once he was satisfied they were truthful he seemed to loosen up a bit.

“So, kid, you wanna learn how to do this?” Lost Way asked.

“Right now?” Gallus said. His voice was almost squeaking.

“You’ll just lose your nerve if you hold off,” Lost Way said.

Gallus looked like he was about to argue, then thought about it a moment. He shook his head before standing up, though shakily, and looked Lost Way in the eye. The Zebra reached out his hoof and grabbed Gallus by the talons.

“C’mon,” Lost Way said. “Let’s show you how to be a man.”

Without warning Lost Way tugged and pulled Gallus down to the couch. Crash had to scoot out of the way to make room for the gryphon who was suddenly on his back and pinned underneath Gallus. He went down to the floor and laid down next to Gilda, and suddenly the two boys had an audience. Gallus looked up with eyes as wide as an owl as suddenly Lost Way was on top of him with one leg pressing down to the side of his head while his other hoof stroked at Gallus’ cheek.

“First lesson,” Lost Way said. “Some foreplay.”

“Oh, wow,” Gallus said. “I-I thought I was gonna learn how to… y’know… Initiate it.”

“You mentioned your dragon friend’s a bit of a hothead,” Gilda said. “Yeah. She’s not gonna be fly with that the first few times if she’s like me. Dragons especially get super into the dominance thing.”

“Dominance?” Gallus squeaked. “How do you know that?”

“I traveled the world, dummy,” Gilda said from the floor as she settled herself down with a cocky grin to watch as Gallus was manhandled by the zebra. “I’ve met a few dragon gals.”

“It’s normally not just one creature’s in the same roll all the time,” Lost Way said. “Sex is about making the one you love feel good. For example…”

Lost Way reached down and suddenly buried his mouth up against Gallus’ neck. He pecked softly before sinking his teeth in ever so gently. Gallus let out a soft cry, but one more of surprise than pain. He moved his lips up to kiss at the edge of the gryphon’s jaw. Gallus shut his eyes, and right now Lost Way could feel the pounding heart press up against his chest as their bodies connected. His hooves traveled down Gallus’ side until he got to his hind legs where he gripped at the flank and gave it a good solid squeeze.

“Mmmph!” Gallus whined.

“Being dominate doesn’t mean controlling them,” Lost Way said. “It means guiding them. Plus you don’t just wanna lay there like a dead fish while they do all the work, cause that means they don’t know you’re enjoying it. Try grabbing me.”

“I-Is that okay?” Gallus asked.

“Grab. My. Ass,” Lost Way spelled out.

Gallus chirped a little as he moved only to reach his hand up and squeeze the talons against Lost Way’s own flank. Suddenly their bottom halves pressed together, and suddenly Gallus let out a loud noise as something stiff of his shoved up against Lost Way.

“Sorry,” Gallus whispered.

“Is he…?” Crash began.

“He’s excited, that’s for sure,” Lost Way said with a grin. He slid his hoof down between Gallus’ body down his chest, and when he reached just above where his crotch would be his hoof teasingly pressed down instead of grabbing him. Gallus whined.

“The hotheaded ones are grabby,” Lost Way said. “Depending on the mood you either need to match that energy or just submit to them entirely.”

“How do I match it?” Gallus asked.

“Easy,” Crash said before leaning down and whispering something into Gallus’ ear that Lost Way couldn’t hear.

“You sure?” Gallus asked.

“Go for it,” Crash said.

After nodding his head Gallus paused for a second. Then he did something unexpected and grabbed Lost Way by the back of his head. He wrapped his arms around and pulled him into a kiss. Lost Way was a bit surprised that Crash had suggested that, but even more surprised how willingly Gallus had gone for it. He felt the other talon reach for his other flank as suddenly his butt was gripped. His cheeks spread, and for a moment Lost Way felt his heart skip a beat. All of a sudden it wasn’t just Gallus who was poking something stiff.

“Heh,” Lost Way chuckled when the kiss split. “Naughty birdy.”

“Was that… good?” Gallus asked.

“It’s a start,” Lost Way said. “Matching your partners energy is the most important part. Don’t expect they’ll always want it the same, even if it’s Smolder. Even the toughest girls like to be treated sweet once in a while… Or so Crash says.”

Lost Way glanced up and threw a smirk over at Gilda, and instead of throwing out her usual sarcastic comment the feathers on her head perked up a little and she glanced away.

“Can it,” Gilda muttered. When the boys looked at her it was clear the sight of them rolling around was getting to her. She kept fidgeting and even looked a bit embarrassed. It was rare for Lost Way to see Gilda so flustered, so he took a moment to savor it before focusing back on Gallus.

“Alright, big boy,” Lost Way said before grabbing Gallus’ body “Let’s see if you can keep up with this one.”

“Ah!” Gallus let out a gasp as suddenly Lost Way pulled them to the side so they could tumble over and rolled against the back of the couch until Gallus was up on top of Lost Way. Despite the change in position Lost Way didn’t change his demeanor and remained fully in control. He grabbed Gallus by his flank and pulled down.

“Sit,” Lost Way said. It was an order, and Gallus complied faster than a trained dog.

“You’re not gonna put it in yet, are you?” Gallus asked, and gave a quick glance over to the audience they shared.

“No,” Lost Way said. “Just gonna show you how to make somepony go insane till they beg for me to do that.”

Lost Way gripped Gallus’ cheeks and spread them. His cock which had been steadily hardening the past several minutes was able to slip between the cheeks easily until Gallus was hotdogging him. The gryphon let out a little chirp at the sensation of the long stiff member grinding against his hole. He shuddered and whined.

“Ever had anything in you before?” Lost Way asked.

“Mmmph… Y-Yeah,” Gallus said with a little nod.

“Naughty boy,” Lost Way said. “Got some toys back at your place?”

Gallus nodded his head as he shut his eyes to avoid having to look at any of the others as he admitted this. He opened his mouth to speak but all that came out was a whimpering moan followed by a shudder of his body. He leaned back slightly until his hole was grinding right back against the member.

When Gallus leaned his body back his cock became visible. It was decently sized and already dripping with pre-cum all over Lost Way’s belly. Lost grinned before looking over to Crash.

“Oh hon?” Lost Way asked. “Mind giving me a hoof… or a mouth?”

Crash’s eyes widened as his lover called his name, as did Gallus’ own, but neither objected further as suddenly Crash scooted closer. He had never seen a gryphon’s cock in person but the sight mesmerized him. It was certainly different from his own, but that only made him even more curious. There was a knot halfway down it, which Crash had never for himself seen outside of the sex toys Lost Way owned.

“Show our little student the benefits of a third creature, would you?” Lost Way asked.

“Yessir,” Crash said before smiling softly and leaning his head in so it could squeeze between the two men and his lips and tongue could reach Gallus’ member.

“Ahh…” Gallus let out a little gasp. He sounded so adorable, and it was even cuter as his talons squeezed into the sides of the couch in response to the stimulation.

Crash began to suckle on the cock. He moved his head down and took the bump of the knot between his lips. It was a good point to latch onto as he used his tongue to press against the bottom of the cock and tug up and down. He could feel the inexperienced gryphon practically spurt the back of his tongue with every little movement he made. It was a somewhat sweet yet bitter taste that was all too familiar.

“Ahh… Oh gosh oh gosh oh Celestia,” Gallus whined before tilting his head back and looking up to the ceiling. He began to hump his hips back and forth, which just made it so he was either grinding against Lost Way’s cock or further pushing his cock into Crash’s mouth. His whole body trembled and he had to grip the side of the couch just to keep sitting up.

“Noises like that are good,” Lost Way encouraged with a teasing tone of voice. “Lets me know I’m doing a good job. Don’t look so shy about it~”

“I-I can’t help it!” Gallus whined.

The three of them hardly seemed to notice that Gilda was still staring at them all. She kept shifting and occasionally her back legs would grind together. For her this must have been like her own personal show. Three royal guards all getting at it at once sounded like something out of a cheesy romance novel, yet it was happening before her eyes.

Lost Way knew that Crash was especially good at using his mouth, and even with the foerign looking cock it took little time at all for him to get Gallus clearly on edge. The poor boy was fighting not to squeal with pleasure at every little suckle. He was so cocky and headstrong at work that seeing him stripped to a writhing mess of pleasure about to burst was too adorable for words.

Crash took his lips off of the cock, and when he did so Gallus let out a long whine of disapproval. It was practically twitching when the lips came off of it and in a moment of absolute horny lust he tried to reach down his own set of talons to rub himself to completion.

“Woah there,” Lost Way said as he reached out his hooves and stopped Gallus. “Don’t wanna burst your load too soon. That won’t be any fun when it’s with your friends, will it?”

“Jerk,” Gallus whined, yet stopped squirming and pulled his hands away willingly. Lost Way chuckled, because by pulling away all he did was scoot himself back against the cock once more.

“Tell you what,” Lost Way said. “If you say ‘please fuck me’ I’ll take you to my room and give you a good lesson on how to take it like a man.”

“P-Please fuck me,” Gallus whined.

“Again,” Lost Way demanded. “Oh, and add a ‘sir’ this time, would you?”

“Please fuck me, Sir!” Gallus said before blushing hard and shutting his eyes.

“Good boy,” Lost Way said before reaching up and running his hoof through Gallus’ chest feathers. “Now go to my room over there. Second door back. I expect you to be bent over the bed when I come in, understood?”

Gallus nodded his head.

“And no touching yourself,” Lost Way said.

Gallus whined again but nodded all the same. He slowly slipped off of Lost Way and blushingly turned away from the other two. He tried to cover his hanging cock and balls with his tail but the thing was far too thin to do anything. He was forced to awkwardly waddle away trying to squeeze his legs together before going back toward Lost and Crash’s room.

Once the door was shut Lost Way wiped up the pre-cum from his belly and gave it a lick before sitting up. He was still erect, and quite frankly eager to get into that bedroom.

“What did making him beg to fuck you have to do with showing him sex?” Crash asked.

“Nothing,” Lost Way said with a devilishly playful giggle. “I just wanted to see if we made him horny enough to do it.”

“Jeez, you’re evil,” Crash said with a chuckle. “Don’t go too hard on him, okay? He’s a beginner.”

“Did I go too hard on you?” Lost Way asked before getting up off the couch and playfully swishing his tail against Crash’s face. “I’ll be as gentle as that horny little birdy deserves.”

Though that sound worried Crash a little, he knew from experience that Gallus would be in good hooves. As Lost Way wandered off he looked back over his shoulder to Gilda who had been strangely quiet this entire time.

“You okay?” Crash asked. “That wasn’t awkward, was it? Seeing some creature you grew up with… y’know?”

“Crash…” Gilda said softly.

For a moment Crash felt himself fill with worry. Perhaps she was having second thoughts about this. Perhaps she hadn’t thought it through all that well.

“What is it?” Crash asked. “What’s wrong?”

“I need you to fuck me,” Gilda said. She got up the moment Lost Way was out of sight and moved over to Crash before gripping him with firm talons on his shoulders. “Holy crap that was hot.”

“O-Oh!” Crash said, feeling surprised. However he recognized that look far too well in Gilda. It was hungry and lustful, like a hawk circling its prey. Crash had a sinking feeling in the pit of his belly that he was the prey. He wasn’t sure if he should be excited or worried for getting Gilda so riled up.

“My nest,” Gilda said flatly. “Now.”

“Y-Yes, ma’am!” Crash squeaked.
