Part Four
Dawn found Wufei awake and staring in amazement at his sleeping master. Duo’s face was angelic in repose and contained none of the deliberate cruelty that he so carefully cultivated when awake. Thick chocolate lashes caressed cheeks of alabaster perfection. *He really is beautiful. Why hasn’t he taken me already?* Wufei was genuinely confused by both his desire and his master’s actions. Or lack of actions as it were.
*Father said that he’d--* Wufei couldn’t even finish the thought. *But Quatre didn’t either… Perhaps he was wrong, or lying.* the boy’s brow wrinkled in thought and his internal tension finally woke the sleeping prince.
The boy missed the flutter of the lashes that he had so intently been studding only moments before. Heavy lids slitted open to reveal a thin line of amethyst. Seeing that his slave had not noticed he had awakened Duo allowed his eyes to fall completely shut and basked in the nearness of the angelic being at his side.
Being this close to Wufei allowed him access to every thought that crossed the Chinese boy’s mind and he had to admit that he was very pleased with their direction. He decided to remain still and see just what this boy’s Quatre instilled courage would lead him to.
Quickly Wufei cast a furtive look around the room before turning all of his attention back to his supposedly sleeping master. The coal black wings indicative of the royal line were curved tightly against the prince’s back so that only a few feathers were showing except for one spot. Right next to Duo’s shoulders. *If I could only touch one. Would he wake up? Is he ticklish like Quatre?*
*Ticklish like Quatre? What the hell is he talking about?*
While Duo was distracted, Wufei tentatively reached out his hand to lightly stroke the bend of his left wing. The prince very nearly flinched. He controlled himself ruthlessly. One move would make Wufei stop his explorations and he wouldn’t want that would he?
Ebony orbs darted back to Duo’s serene face. When the braided prince showed no response to his touch, the black haired boy moved his hand back toward his desire with more confidence. Just as his hand made contact, the door flew open.
“Master!”
Several things happened at once. Wufei’s questing hand jerked back against his body and he cowered. Duo snapped into a sitting position, and that same poor guard from the day before was lifted into the air and slammed against the wall.
“What are you doing entering my private rooms?”
The unfortunate man was doing his best to talk around whatever was constricting his throat and keeping him held firmly against the wall. Wufei was struck with the sudden urge to laugh. Duo loosed what sounded suspiciously like the snarl of a wolf and let him drop heavily to the ground.
“Master,” he gasped again. “There was a letter delivered for you a few moments ago. It was covered in Wufei’s blood!”
“It was what?” Duo leapt from the bed disregarding the fact that he was totally nude.
*It was what?* Wufei was shocked for the split second before Duo shot from beneath his blankets. Well he was shocked after too, but for a totally different reason. He sucked in a deep breath and slowly allowed himself to look over the naked body of his master.
Duo’s wings had flared with his agitation. With them out of the way Wufei could see the rippling muscles in his back. Glistening white skin moved with them in a way that made him think once again of silk. That hair, still in a braid, drew Wufei’s questing gaze down to the perfectly formed behind that it caressed so lovingly. From there he saw long, supple thighs tapering to strong calves. Even his feet were perfect. *No wonder he is a prince. No one could be as beautiful as he is.*
That flickering thought brushed Duo’s mind but he ignored it for the moment. Right now he had more things to attend to. “What does this letter say?”
“We don’t know, your majesty. It was said that the letter was for your eyes only.”
Duo growled. “Come. I will attend to this now. Wufei!”
The boy in question cringed. Duo never even spared him a glance. “Quatre will be here soon to attend you.” And he was gone just like that.
Wufei sighed. He could already tell that this was going to be one very very bad day.

Quatre didn’t agree with him at all. The little blond was currently enjoying an extremely pleasant interlude with his two lovers.
Trowa had his hands buried in Quatre’s hair. He gently thrust his hips, driving his hardness as far as he could into the little one’s throat. Heero’s strong grip steadied his hips as the Japanese Shadow Lord thrust in and out of his tight passage in steady strokes.
Heero chose that moment to hit his pleasure spot square on. His moan was muffled by Trowa’s erection and the banged Lord felt his eyes roll back in his head in indescribable pleasure. The motion of his hips became less controlled as he sought his completion. Affected by the vision that was Trowa in the height of his enjoyment, Heero’s thrusts sped up as well. He kept hitting that spot inside Quatre that made him see stars and that quickly turned his moans into muffled screams. One strong hand moved from the blonde’s hip to stroke his neglected arousal and that sent him over the edge into pure bliss.
The constant vibration around his manhood sent Trowa over the edge at the same time as Quatre. The combination of hearing his two lovers climax, the look on the taller boy’s face, and the rhythmic tightening of Quatre’s already snug passage around him caused Heero to hit his peak as well and he growled, adding to the symphony of lust.
Gently he pulled his softening erection out of Quatre’s well-used body and pulled his slim lover up to rest between him and Trowa. Just then there was a knock on the door.
“Nani?” Heero snarled.
A tentative “Lord?” was his response.
He quickly processed the voice. It was the same guard as yesterday. Obviously the idiot had learned his lesson. No matter how feared the dread Shinigami Prince, one did not enter Heero and Trowa’s rooms without permission unless one wanted to die. Heero smirked.
“What do you want?” Heero’s tone promised death anyway if this weren’t important.
There was an audible gulp from the other side of the door. “His majesty requests that Lord Quatre attend him in his rooms at his earliest convenience, my lord.”
“In other words, ‘Quatre get your ass up and go see to Wufei.’” the one in question grumbled. He raised his voice to carry through the door. “I’ll be there in a moment.”
“Yes, my lord.” All three of the men on the bed could hear the man almost run to get away from their door.
Quatre started to lever himself over the top of Heero to go find his clothes when his hips were caught again and he was held in place. He looked at his lover questioningly. “What is it Heero?”
Heero grinned. “I thought I might give you some incentive to hurry back.” He lifted his hips to grind his pelvis against Quatre’s.
Aqua eyes glazed again and the lids drooped heavy. “You’re insatiable, you know that?” He replied in a husky voice.
“Yes. I do.” Heero pulled Quatre down for a lusty kiss before he released him and curled back around the now sleeping Trowa.

Wufei was back in his chair and staring out the window when Quatre entered the room. The forlorn expression on the child’s face was enough to tug at the Shadow Lord’s heart and he was struck with a sudden idea. “Would you like to go outside today Wufei?”
The boy spun to face him so fast that it took him a second to sort out his hair enough to see his new friend. “Could I?” He asked excitedly and his eyes lit up with anticipation.
“I don’t see why not. There is a lovely garden on the grounds and it gets so few visitors.”
Wufei’s smile brightened. “Sugoi! Let’s go!”
“Alright Wufei. Let’s get you some decent clothes on and we’ll go.”
Wufei looked puzzled. “What’s wrong with my clothes?”
Quatre’s expression softened. “Nothing were you still at your old home Wufei. It is only that here they do not befit someone of your station.”
Wufei carefully considered his threadbare clothing. It was thin but all the rips had been meticulously mended and they were clean. “My station? I’m just a slave.” He spat bitterly.
“A slave you may be, but you are pleasure slave to the prince. That puts you in a higher station except for the five Shadow Lords and the prince himself.”
Wufei looked awed. “It does?”
Quatre regarded him seriously. “Hai. It does. And as far as your protection goes, the only person more protected than you will be the prince.”
The awe on the black haired boy’s face turned to absolute wonder. “Oh.” He breathed. “I’ve never been protected before.”
“Any one of us would lay down our lives for you, Wufei. Remember that.” The blond deliberately lightened his expression. “Come now. Let’s get you dressed and we’ll go to the garden.”

Getting new clothes on Wufei proved to be a debacle. Each outfit was dismissed out of hand as being too revealing. After the sixth one Quatre was quite out of patience.
“They are supposed to be revealing! People are supposed to want you. You’re a pleasure slave remember?”
Wufei’s head drooped. “I know. It’s just that…”
Quatre sighed. “I’ll go find you something else. Here.” He thrust something at Wufei. “You’ll have to wear this whenever you leave this room. Any other time you only have to wear it when Duo orders you to but out side of this suite you must have it on.”
Quatre lowered his head into yet another chest of clothes, looking for something that both deemed appropriate clothing while Wufei studied the object in his hands. It looked suspiciously like… a collar?
“Um Quatre?”
“Ah-hah!” The blond head reappeared. “What is it Wufei?”
“Anou—how do I get this on?”
He took the collar from the human and whispered “open”. The unseen latch clicked open and Quatre carefully placed the collar around Wufei’s throat. Applying a tiny bit of pressure, the thing clicked closed and once again became an unbroken ring of black metal. Unnoticed by Wufei, the stone flickered from a deep violet to a swirling combination of violet and black.
“This collar responds to Duo’s voice, of course, and also to yours and any of the Shadow Lords. No one else can take it off of you. It also lets Duo know where you are at any given moment, and most importantly, no one and nothing can harm you while you wear it. Which is why you must always have it on outside this room.”
“But who would want to hurt me?”
“Many people for many reasons Wufei. Just trust me on this, alright? Now. If I remember correctly we have an appointment in the garden don’t we?”
