"I'll be in the conference room completing some paperwork," Elder Beatrice said. She disappeared, too, leaving Hugo alone with his guards in a room overflowing with riches rivaling what he'd left in the palace vaults. There were chests of gold and silver three or four deep along the wall, some overflowing onto the floor. Then, there were the gifts too large to fit in a chest. Statues, fine furniture, and several sets of dishware. Hugo supposed he had more riches at the palace, but they'd never been amassed in one room like this. It was overwhelming.
A corner of white silk caught his attention. He grabbed for it, but it was inside a bottle, along with a little ship. It had two masts, likeStarlight Specter, but there was no name burned into her side.
"Do you think Efren would like this?" Hugo asked.
"It does look like the ship," Tovey said.
Hugo touched the side of the glass and held the stopper on the end of the bottle to keep his fire weave under control. With his index finger, he traced the letters along the glass, and they burned into the wood along the prow where the ship's name should be.
"He'll love it," Stan whispered when he was finished.
"Let's see what else we can find for our friends," Hugo said. "Did you see anything you would like?"
"Someone gave us these." Tovey opened a velvet-lined case with three glass stoppers in it. They were the strangest things Hugo had ever seen, with a leather strap tied to one end and a bulbous head on the other, each one bigger than the last.
"What kind of bottles use stoppers like these?" Hugo asked.
"Human ones." Tovey smirked.
"This one's still not big enough for me," Stan said, pointing to the largest.
"It will make the rest of the process easier," Tovey said, "when we spread you open for both of us."
Oh. Human stoppers. These strangely shaped pieces went inside their asses.
"They're called plugs," Stan said.
"The smallest one will be good for Hugo's first time," Tovey said. "Unless you'd prefer to always top?"
Always sounded boring, and Hugo loved it when either Tovey or Stan played with his ass. "I want to try everything with you. Both of you."
"I'd like that, too." Stan's cheeks blushed a shade darker when he smiled. "We can come back to these later, if you'd like."
Hugo groaned. As much as he wanted to spend the day in bed trying out the new toys, He had work to do. "I would like to give everyone gifts for helping me. We'll need the coin to trade with Glamiere, but we could move the other items to the banquet hall to let folks take an item home with them when they leave." The idea formed in his mind as he said it aloud. He was grateful to see Tovey and Stan looking thoughtful instead of refusing outright. "I'd like to pick out gifts for the elders and for your crew beforehand, though."
"We've already got some ideas for the crew." Stan led him to a pile in the corner.
"We also identified a few enchantments from Allora's stash that could help the elders," Tovey said. "We've got everyone covered."
"What about you two?" Hugo hadn't gotten his gift back from Gulde yet.
"Our present is wrapped in entirely too many clothes," Stan said. "I think we need to get you home and unwrap you."
Hugo couldn't argue with that.

Stan
Hugo hesitated when they reached the doorway to the largest bedroom in their house. "I don't know that I like the idea of being opened like a present."
"We're going to open you up to new experiences." Stan brought their clasped hands to his lips to kiss Hugo's knuckles. "If anything feels bad or rushed, let us know, and we'll stop."
Hugo grabbed Stan's cock and squeezed. He was already partially hard from all the flirting they'd done in the storeroom,but Hugo's touch made him groan as his blood rushed downward.
"I'm still waiting for Tovey to fuck me while I suck you," Stan said.
Hugo gave him another squeeze. "Or you could open me up while he fucks you, and then you can fuck me?"
