"Morning" Ryan said for the second time in the morning as Sara arrived ,before adding a big 'thank you' for the birthday greeting, his eyes on both women as Sara kissed Ashley, he noted the way their clothes hugged their bodies, what he would give to just reach out and hold them both feel them hard against his own body, ironically for the first year after they found him he'd been able to do that, he'd even slept with them once during a particular nasty thunder storm, he'd been 12 then, becoming a teenager had  made hugging , except for when they gave him presents on his birthday, an awkward thing to do , it was only the last few months that he'd understand that what he wanted form them both was more than a hug.<br/><br/>Ryan forced his eyes back to his meal , the pancakes a welcome treat, part of him wondered what they had gotten for his birthday, assuming his ultimate gift...a threesome ,seemed not to be on offer. His first birthday he's expected nothing only to be surprised by the entire collection of transformers, it wasn't so much that the gift was incredible but that they had taken the time to pick up the toys at a time when everything had urgency about it, a half dozen toys would have been great , the extra effort made Ryan feel loved  for the first time since the disappearance, even ignoring his desire for both women, from that moment on he had been devoted to them.<br/><br/>The following birthday had been full of expectation and that expectation had been exceeded , he still hadn't managed to read half the comics despite a prodigious reading habit.<br/><br/>Last year he'd decided to be more adult about things and being given an off road 250 which he rode everywhere as well as the Harley which he maintained yet couldn't yet ride had been exactly the right set of gifts.<br/><br/>Now as his stomach wondered what they had for him , his face kept all excitement from view...if he was going to insist on being treated as an adult the last thing he wanted to do was be a kid on his birthday.<br/><br/>"I was thinking for riding the outer boundary fence, I heard some dogs barking in the distance this morning and Rutgus " a young German Shepard who's mother had already birthed a a dozen dogs since the disappearance bring a total of 30 dogs devoted to their human owners, extra mouths to feed without doubt , but they had helped see  off three major dog and one major wolf attacks in just the past year...Rutgus was a brave little thing incapable of understanding the words 'stay quiet' unless someone was there to tell him. "Well, Rutgus barked back so I just want to be sure there are no holes in the ground near the fence line"<br/><br/><br/>Over the past few months he'd started to suggest jobs and in all fairness more often than not Sara and Ashley agreed , but when they said no , he accepted it without question...if the said no this time ..well they better have a reason...like an awesome birthday gift.
