Out of the corner of his eye, Luther saw Arslan studying them.When their gazes met, the leader of their pride smiled, just slightly, before he turned his attention away from them and signalled for the other lions in the pride to bring in the food.
Putting that strange little smile out of his mind, Luther helped Blaine guide their human to one of the big leather sofas that flanked the fireplace.Luther knew Blaine well enough to know that they were both equally determined that none of the other lions should be allowed to take a turn with him.
This man was theirs, and he seemed willing enough to go where he was led, at least until they settled him between them on the sofa.Then, the human moved as if to shuffle away from them both.
“No.You have to rest now,” Luther told him.
The sacrifice didn’t take the least notice of the very clear command.
Frowning, Luther put his hand in the centre of the human’s torso and pushed him back toward Blaine.The sacrifice lost his balance, landing heavily against Blaine’s chest.Blaine quickly wrapped an arm around him and held him there, settled neatly against him.
Luther watched him for a moment, just in case their human should try to make another bid to wander off, toward where the other lions in the pride would be more than happy to receive him.No.He stayed where he was.Nodding his approval, Luther turned his attention to the trays of food.
Arslan had started the feast, and the other members of the pride were already helping themselves.Piling one plate high with enough for three, Luther carried it back to the sofa and took his place on it with Blaine and the sacrifice.
He seemed to have that awkward way about him that all humans had, as if he didn’t really understand the way his limbs should be arranged when men were trying to share a space comfortably with each other.
Blaine’s repeated nudging finally formed their human into a vaguely appropriate shape, and Luther nodded his approval.Taking a piece of meat from the plate, Luther tried to offer it to the sacrifice, but he pulled away as soon it touched his lips.
“It’s chicken.It tastes good.You’ll like it.”
The human hesitated, a trace of uncertainty making its way into his scent, but he opened his mouth and let Luther feed the piece of meat to him.
“Thank you.”
Blaine smiled at Luther over the man’s shoulder.As Blaine took a piece off the plate for himself, he stroked his other hand over the sacrifice’s body, and Luther couldn’t help but trace the path Blaine’s fingertips took with his eyes.
There was a smudge of cum on their human’s stomach.Leaning down, Luther lapped it up.
The sacrifice did seem to have some sort of instinct, even if it wasn’t a proper lion’s intuition.He curled in on himself the moment Luther’s tongue touched his stomach.The move was too instant to be borne of any thought process.It had to be instinct, if a rather strange one.
Luther looked past the sacrifice to Blaine.His lover seemed to be both as bemused and amused as he was.
“There was cum on your stomach.It gets uncomfortable if you leave it there,” Luther explained, patiently.
“Sorry.Tickles,” the human said.
Luther lowered his head and licked the same spot on the sacrifice’s stomach again.That time the human stayed still, but his whole body tensed.He bit his lip as if he was really having to fight against the desire to move.Luther ran his tongue over the little patch of skin again, quietly fascinated.
“Just there?”Luther asked.
The human shrugged as well as any man could while his hands were behind his back.
Luther licked a little lower on his stomach, just to see what would happen.Nothing.He lapped lower again, making his way across pale skin and neatly trimmed jet-black hairs on his way to their human’s cock.He received no response until he ran his tongue over the length of his softened dick from tip to base.The sacrifice gasped.Some of the sleepy contentment that seemed to have flooded into him after he’d come vanished.
“Does that tickle, too?”Blaine asked from behind him.
Their human shook his head.“No, that’s fine.Lick there as much as you like.”
Luther smiled against the sacrifice’s cock.In some ways, humans really weren’t that different from lions.Content with his explorations for the moment, he straightened up and returned his attention to the food.
Very slowly, the contents of the plate disappeared.Their sacrifice liked to be told what was being offered before it was put into his mouth.Once that was established, it was far easier to feed him.In between, he seemed to be happy to allow them to explore his body any way they chose.
His skin was very pale, especially in contrast to his hair, which was as black as the leather cuffs he wore.He was a bit shorter than both he and Blaine, and a bit younger, too, as well as Luther could judge past the blindfold.And every single detail about him was fascinating.
In an absent-minded way, Luther was aware that the other lions in the pride hadn’t disappeared.They were still in the room.He could hear Arslan talking to them, but right then, Luther had little attention to spare for what the rest of the pride might have to report.Their new sacrifice was infinitely more interesting.He called to Luther’s instincts in a way none of the other humans who had been sacrificed to him had, and Luther was sure Blaine felt the same way.
“Luther, Blaine.Do either of you have anything to say?”
