Warning: this story contains incest themes. Chapter Eighteen They were eating dinner in the canteen when Dag pulled out his cellphone. He glanced at it. "Alan Blackmore died in a traffic accident," Dag announced. Hephin had mixed emotions. He was glad, and sorry, and angry-at Alan Blackmore. He glanced around and saw none of the other diners were paying attention to them. "Oh, that is a shame." "Fortunately, his chauffeur knew where Eric West's wife was being held and told us before the accident. She has been recovered and is fine." "Oh, Dag! That is just wonderful!" Hephin said. "Did the chauffeur die?" "No. Fortunately he jumped out of the car before it lost control and went over the cliff." Max laughed. "That was fortunate, for him!" Hephin looked at his pack members. None of them seemed to be disturbed at the news. Should they be? He had no idea. A man died because he asked Dag to arrange it. But the man had to be really evil to do what he had done, murdering and kidnapping in order to have a baby. And what kind of child would he have raised? Another monster? Hephin sighed. He knew it was necessary. His wolf was delighted. Still, he didn't like it. He remembered Alaphin saying he had had to kill. Maybe it was an Alpha thing. Or maybe a pregnant male shifter thing. He almost laughed at that thought. He looked at Elepan. Dag could tell Hephin was upset. He supposed a little more of Hephin's childhood was crumbling around his feet. "Are you all right, Elepan?" Hephin asked. "I'm fine. You did the right thing." Hephin leaned his head against Elepan, who leaned down and kissed the top of his head. "He deserved it," Max said. The others nodded their agreement. "Hephin, if you are feeling guilty, just remember you did it in self-defense," Dag said. "If I felt it wasn't the right thing to do, I would have tried to convince you to take a different course of action. Our options were very limited. I am sure Jeremy Stonefeather wasn't the first person he had killed. But hopefully, we have made him the last." Hephin nodded. It was true. "And he would have tried again," Elepan said. Dag nodded. "Definitely. Hephin, you saved lives, possibly those of your family." Dag decided he needed to change the subject. "I was speaking to Elepan earlier," Dag said. "How would your wolf feel about smelling like all your pack members?" Hephin's wolf was ecstatic! "He likes the idea. What did you have in mind?" "Elepan will cover your head and neck with his semen, while the rest of us will cover the rest of your body with ours." Hephin grinned. "You are all going to shoot on me and rub it into my skin?" "Yes. If you are willing." Hephin watched his pack members. They seemed excited by the idea. "Oh, god! I want to coat Hephin's cunt," Max said. "We all do," Dregor said. "Some of mine might accidently get pushed inside him." Hephin laughed. "It's been what? Two hours since you fucked me?" Hephin asked him. "Hey! I'm in love! What can I say?" Hephin smiled. "I love you, too, Dregor." He reached out and squeezed Dregor's hand. Hephin looked at Elepan. "Are you OK with this?" "You already smell like whoever you last had sex with. It's fine." "You're sure?" "Yes." Hephin placed his hand on Elepan's crotch and felt him stiffen. He pulled Elepan's cock out of the leg of his shorts and began jacking him off. Elepan wrapped his arm around his mate's waist. "Hephin, I love the idea," Jed said. "Just thinking of rubbing my cum into your skin has me ready to shoot." The others nodded. "But you aren't pack Vin-Ta. Your wolf doesn't need it." "It doesn't mean it isn't symbolic," Dag said. "And I may not have a wolf with his own personality, but that doesn't mean I won't love having you smell like me." Jed nodded. "That's exactly how I feel. It is symbolic," Jed said. "Not to mention, nasty as fuck!" Hephin laughed. "OK! It sounds great!" "Every horny male in Alephin's pack is going to be jealous of us whenever they pick up your scent," Will said. Hephin smiled as he watched the others nod their heads in agreement. "I have one other announcement to make," Dag said. "The money each of you is receiving has been transferred into your bank accounts. That's ten million, each. Jed, as you requested, I had one million transferred into your mother's account." All the pack members cheered. People at other tables laughed. Hephin glanced towards the door as Melforth and Erelda walked into the canteen. That was unusual. He had been told Erelda was a great cook and loved cooking, so they always ate at home. The two of them saw Hephin and smiled. They walked over. "Hi, Melforth, Erelda." Hephin rubbed his belly. "Your baby is doing fine, I'm told." "That's wonderful," Erelda said. "I wish you would let us do something for you." "I don't need anything." "Maybe there is something you want?" Melforth asked. Hephin shook his head. "Can I speak to you privately?" Melforth asked Hephin. "Sure." Hephin got up and they walked to an empty corner in the large canteen. "Hephin, I know how much you like sex, and I know you lusted after me and enjoyed having sex with me." Hephin gulped. "Uh.OK." "Erelda.Erelda wants to give you me, in a way. I mean." Hephin stared. Melforth took a breath. "If you want me, both Erelda and I want.us to have sex. But only if you want me." This was possibly the most awkward conversation in Hephin's life. "So you are giving me your cock in exchange for giving you a baby?" Melforth blushed slightly, but nodded. "Erelda is loaning it." "Wouldn't Alephin have to order you to have sex with me?" Hephin asked. "I think he would be willing." Hephin had no desire to have sex with Melforth, especially if he had to be ordered to do it. Melforth was right, he did enjoy it, but now he had a whole pack of males. Still, if he said no, Melforth and Erelda would continue wanting to do something for him. "Melforth, I thank you for the offer, but I don't have any desire for you. However, my pack will be moving into our new home soon. Maybe you and Erelda could help with the move." Melforth grinned. "We would love to! Let us know when we can help, and how." Melforth hugged Hephin and turned around. While he headed for Erelda, Hephin walked back to their table and sat down next to Elepan. He watched Melforth tell Erelda and saw a broad smile appear on her face. Then they left the canteen. "If you want to take a break from cooking, Erelda could fill in for you," Hephin said to Tim. Tim smiled. "They want to do something for me and I know she likes to cook." "That's good to know. If the pack keeps growing, and we all eat together, we will need more than one cook." Hephin smiled. "Or you may want to sleep late some days." "And miss all the before breakfast sex?" They laughed. "You might want to take a day off," Hephin said. "You might have a hot man in your bed." Tim grinned. "That's the best thing about our pack. All the men are hot. Except me." The others started objecting to that statement. "If you weren't hot, I wouldn't have accepted you. I've been sitting here thinking about your cock the whole time!" Tim laughed. "Yeah. Right. OK. I'm hot." "You are, and I love you," Hephin said. Tim smiled. "I love you, too." "What did Melforth want?" Elepan asked. "He wanted to loan me his cock," Hephin whispered. "Did you tell him you had plenty?" "Yes, but they still want to do something." "Having Erelda cook for the pack sounds good. I think Tim will get tired of it if he is cooking three meals a day for everyone. Especially if we don't eat together," Elepan whispered. "They could alternate." Hephin nodded. That did sound like a good idea. He reached for Elepan's cock. He wrapped his hand around it. "When was the last time I sucked you?" "Last night." "No wonder I feel so weak!" The others laughed. "Give Hephin his vitamins," Dregor said to Elepan. The others laughed. "And manly hormones," Jed added. Hephin looked at his mate. "I may need two doses, doctor. Will you have to use a needle?" The others laughed. "No. But there will be a prick." They all laughed. "I have a special blunt-" "But beautiful," Hephin interjected. Elepan smiled, continuing. "-tool for administering them." Elepan turned his chair around. Hephin knelt and took Elepan into his mouth. "Will anyone be offended by this?" Dag asked, looking around the canteen. "No," Les said. "This pack has always been very casual and open about sex. That is important to Alephin. He believes sexual frustration leads to violence. As a matter of fact, he has sex in here all the time." Chinat and Morewa walked into the canteen. "Hey, Elepan!" "Hi, Chinat. Hey, Morewa." Elepan's two friends walked over. "I don't need to ask how you are doing, you lucky dog," Morewa said to Elepan. Hephin was on his knees sucking Elepan. Elepan grinned. "All the sex I want isn't as bad as I thought it would be," Elepan said, laughing. "Don't rub it in!" Morewa said. "I see your mate isn't tired of that little cock of yours, yet," Chinat said. "Ha ha. He loves it, as you can see!" Hephin stopped sucking. "How big are you, Chinat?" Hephin asked. "Oh, my God! Have you never seen my penis?" Chinat asked, feigning horror. "He's seen you naked, he just never saw your dick. It's internal, like a chicken's, right?" Elepan asked. "Ha ha. I'll show you internal!" Chinat unzipped his pants. "No, thank you. I ordered fried chicken," Elepan said. "Come back when you're battered. If you need help getting battered, we will call for volunteers. I'm sure there will be plenty." "I'll batter him," a man at the next table said. "I'll use Max's cock." They laughed. Max just grinned. "Very funny, George," Chinat said. "And I do not want to be covered with Max's cum." "Again," Max added. Chinat blushed and everyone laughed. Morewa patted Elepan on the shoulder. "It's good to see you, Elepan." "You too, More." "Come on, Chinat. They're waiting," Morewa said. Morewa and Chinat joined two women at another table. Dag undressed and took some butter from the table. He rubbed it over his cock. Then he knelt behind Hephin and pushed inside him. He began fucking him, while Hephin sucked Elepan. Dag ran his hands over his beautiful young lover's back. He watched Dregor wrap his hand around Elepan's balls and tugged on them. Elepan leaned back and groaned. Then he thrust his crotch up towards his mate. Dag saw Les get down on the floor behind him. Les began rimming Dag. Dag groaned in pleasure. Dag reached under Hephin and began stroking Hephin's cock while he fucked him. Les stopped rimming him and got underneath Hephin. He began sucking his Alpha. A minute later, Hephin's hole spasmed around Dag's cock. He assumed Hephin was shooting in Les' mouth. Max, Jed, and Dregor were waiting their turn at Hephin. Dag sped up his thrusts until he shot deep inside his lover. At the same time, Dag reached out and pulled on Elepan's nipples, which made him come inside Hephin's mouth. Dag smiled. He and Elepan were breeding Hephin at the same time. When he was done, Dag sighed and pulled out of Hephin. He got up off his knees and sat back down. Dregor pushed inside Hephin and began fucking him. He saw Will was being sucked by Tim. Dag saw a young man was watching them. He appeared to be Hephin's age. Dag didn't remember seeing him before, but he still didn't know many people in Alephin's pack. The outline of his erection was showing in his pants. A few months earlier, Dag might have been jealous of him. After Tara died, he was unable to keep an erection. But Hephin kept him stiff. He had just come and he was still stiff. Dag turned his chair and stroked himself slowly. His cock was still slippery with his cum and his cock had the intoxicating aroma of his semen and the scent of Hephin it had picked up inside him. He could tell the boy liked his cock. His eyes darted around to the others, but kept returning to Dag's cock. There was so much lust in the air, he couldn't smell the young man's. Dag didn't mean to be a tease, it was just a wonderful feeling to know someone so young and beautiful still found him attractive. Hephin was his lover, though. Or maybe his mate. Dag still wasn't sure. What he did know was that it was Hephin's scent which aroused him and that Hephin could keep him aroused. He had four orgasms the day before which he had never achieved, even when he was young, with anyone but his dear Tara. When he was away from Hephin, just thinking about him didn't give him an erection. He had to smell Hephin. "What is your name?" The boy walked up to Dag. "Daniel." "Are you a member of Alephin's pack, Daniel?" "Yes, I was born into it, but my mother moved to Kansas City and I've been living there. I just moved back last week." "Oh. That's nice," Dag said. "You are a very attractive young man." Dag grinned as the boy blushed. "You seem to like it here." Daniel laughed. "I do! I didn't remember how open everyone was about sex here. We moved when I was six and I didn't pay attention to it back then. I'm not used to seeing public sex. But I'm not complaining!" Dag laughed. "I know what you mean." Dag smiled as Daniel looked at his cock. "Are all of you gay?" "Well, some of us in Hephin's pack are bisexual, but we all have gay sex. I was married to a woman-my mate-until she died. That is Hephin." Dag pointed. "He is Alephin's grandson and an Alpha. We are his pack. We are also his lovers. We live here, but will be moving to our own pack lands soon. They are down the road a few miles. Hephin's pack is an extension of Alephin's. Hephin and Alephin are very close." "Are there any women in the pack?" "Just Hephin's daughters." "Who is the man Hephin is sucking?" "That is Hephin's mate, Elepan." Will turned and saw Daniel. "Hey, I'm Will." "I'm Daniel." Elepan groaned as he shot again in Hephin's mouth. Hephin let Elepan's cock slip from his mouth. "Hi, Daniel," Hephin said. "Do you like guys or girls?" "Just guys." Will, Jed, Tim, Les and Hephin cheered. Daniel laughed. "My pack is gay," Hephin told him. "Can I join?" "We will all need to get to know you first. You have to be willing to fuck me at least once." Daniel smiled. "I get to fuck the alpha?" "You have to fuck the alpha!" "I have to warn you, Daniel," Dag said. "We have sex constantly." Daniel grinned. Max cleared the table in front of Hephin. Hephin leaned over to Dag. "Do you need to clear him, security-wise?" Hephin whispered. "No. I can sense no deceit in him at all." Max Hephin up and lay him chest-down on the table. Daniel gasped as Max slid into his alpha. "Why aren't you screaming?" Daniel asked Hephin. "He's huge!" Several of them laughed. "Years of practice and giving birth to three babies," Hephin said, as he was fucked. Hephin chuckled at the expression on Daniel's face. "My father and I have both given birth." "Are you hermaphrodites?" "I suppose." "Wow!" Hephin chuckled. "Show me what you've got, Daniel." "What do you mean?" "I mean your cock." Daniel blushed. "He probably doesn't like orgasms," Will said. Daniel laughed. "He does look like the type of boy who does his best to avoid them," Dag said. Dag chuckled at the expression on Daniel's face. "He probably prays a lot," Will added. "I do. I pray for orgasms," Daniel said. They all laughed. Max groaned as he shot inside Hephin. He pulled out and Jed took his place. Hephin could tell Daniel liked Dag. But Dag and Dregor only had sex with him. It wasn't something he demanded of them, but he wasn't unhappy about it. He felt more possessive of the two of them. Daniel got undressed. Will walked over to him and kissed him. Les got behind Daniel and began rimming him. Daniel moaned loudly. Jed shot inside Hephin and pulled out. Hephin sat back down and leaned against Elepan. "I don't think I've told you I love you since we entered the canteen," Hephin said to Elepan. "I noticed that. I was afraid the romance was over." Several people laughed. Elepan kissed his mate. Hephin's hands roamed over his mate's body. "Love you," Hephin said when their kiss ended. "I love you." Hephin reached for his plate and began eating. His other hand went to Dag's crotch. He stroked him while he ate. When they had all finished, they left the canteen and walked back to Alephin's house. Hephin hadn't seen much of Alephin. Alephin was spending a lot of his time overseeing the security enhancements to his pack lands. There was a new security building where video cameras would be monitored. Fences were being built. One completely enclosed the pack's land. Another, electrified fence enclosed the village where Alephin and most of the pack lived. The security system would use retinal and fingerprint recognition systems so that pack members would not need to carry badges. The system would also recognize them in wolf form, from their retinas, paw prints, and fur color and body dimensions. Both fences would take a year to complete. There were other security measures that Alephin kept secret. Hephin showed Daniel their children. "They are so beautiful! Are you going to try to have any more?" Daniel was mystified when everyone burst out in laughter. "What?" "I am pregnant with triplets. After that, Alephin has a list of pack members who will impregnate me for pups of their own. Then I will be giving my pack members babies, if they want them. I'm expecting to stay pregnant for quite a while." Daniel shook his head. Kansas City had been so boring! "Come with me, Daniel." Hephin walked to his and Elepan's bedroom and closed the door. Hephin sat on the bed. "Are you still interested in joining my pack?" "Yes. Very interested." "You haven't had time to do a lot of thinking about changing packs. Do you want to think about it?" "Hephin, I feel like I will either be joining Alephin's pack or your pack. I don't really feel I'm changing packs." "You were six when you left?" "Yes, and while I remember some things, all I remember about Alephin was that he had dark hair and liked to throw me up in the air." Hephin laughed. "I hope you liked it. I think I might have thrown up." Daniel laughed. "I remember wondering why he kept doing it. I thought it was an Alpha thing." Hephin laughed. "You are too heavy for me to toss." Daniel laughed. "Good." "Do you have family here?" "Yes, my father lives here. There are a lot of people here who remember me, but I don't remember them. They keep walking up and saying things like. 'I remember you loved hot dogs. Do you still love them as much?'" Hephin laughed. "'Do you still like coloring books?'" "Exactly!" "Do you want to ask your father about leaving the pack?" "No. I'll tell him. I already told him I wasn't sure I was staying. And I can visit him all the time." "That is very true. I will be spending a lot of my time here every day and so will many of the others. Les, Alephin's son, promised to keep sucking the horny males in this pack, so he will be sucking cock over here every day." Hephin laughed at the expression on Daniel's face. "It's his hobby." Daniel laughed. "Well it is more fun than coloring books," "I agree! If you find your mate, would you stay in my pack?" Hephin watched a strange expression form on Daniel's face. "I'm not looking for my mate. It would be a woman." Hephin nodded. "That is how Tim and Will feel. They would rather not find their mates, unless they know they are male and want to live in my pack." "My mom left my dad when she found her mate." "I'm sorry. I've learned that that happens a lot. "Now tell me why you want to join my pack. It isn't a test, but I would like to know why." "I couldn't believe you were having sex in public! It was so cool! You all are very attractive and I like the idea that we are close in age. Alephin is hundreds of years old. It's weird." Hephin chuckled. "My father knows I'm gay. He told me that Vin-Ta mates are always heterosexual. That the Shusheen created the mating bond to improve the Vin-Ta race. He said I would love my female mate and it wouldn't matter that she is female. That's not true. It would matter to me. If there aren't a lot of females in your pack, and I don't leave it that often, I won't run into her." "Are those your only reasons?" "Well, I.hmm." "What?" "I think you are very hot and you smell incredible." Hephin smiled. "Did you live with a pack in Kansas City?" "No. My mother is not pack Vin-Ta. She didn't like living here and my father was not her mate. She said Alephin kept trying to have sex with her and she got tired of saying no." "Is she still alive?" "Yes. I was ready to leave home." Hephin looked at the outline of his erection in Daniel's jeans. He reached out and felt it. Daniel moaned. "You are hard. Who are you thinking about?" "You," Daniel said. "Do you want to fuck me?" Hephin asked, softly. "Yes. Very much." "Will you be able and happy to have sex with any of the men in the pack?" "Yes. Will I be able to have sex with any of them?" "No. You will never have sex with my mate." "Oh, I never expected that." "There are two members who only want sex with me, but the others seemed to like you very much." "They are all attractive." "Yes, they are. Are you a top or a bottom?" "I like both, but I haven't had all that much sex." Hephin rubbed Daniel's crotch. Daniel moaned. He pushed his shorts down. Hephin pulled him close and examined Daniel's erection. It was pink and about seven inches long, maybe a little less. Hephin peeled the foreskin back and licked the head. Danield moaned again. Hephin began sucking him. "Oh, Hephin." Hephin thought he tasted good. A flexible wolf, willing to fuck or be fucked, would be good for the pack. He decided to accept Daniel. Hephin stopped sucking and stood. He kissed Daniel. As they kissed, Daniel's hands squeezed Hephin's butt. "Can I fuck you now?" Hephin grinned. "Are you sure you want to be in my pack, the Alpawa pack?" "Yes, Hephin. I am sure." Hephin lay on his back on the bed and pulled his legs up. Daniel got between his legs. "Do you have lube?" "I have plenty of spunk inside me from the canteen." "Oh, yeah." Daniel pushed slowly inside Hephin. "What if I fall in love with you, Hephin?" "That would be wonderful, Daniel." Daniel smiled at him and began fucking. Hephin pulled Daniel's face down and they kissed. Hephin's other lovers had more experience. Daniel stopped fucking while they kissed. Hephin pulled away. "Do you accept me as your alpha?" "Yes, Hephin." "Some day, I will be able to give you a child, if you like." "Really?" Hephin nodded. "And it would be yours and mine?" "Yes. We would raise it together." Daniel smiled. He resumed their fuck. A couple of minutes later, he groaned as he shot inside Hephin. "Welcome to my pack." "Thank you! Thank you!" Daniel pulled out and Hephin got out of bed. They walked into the living room. "I have accepted Daniel into the pack." His pack members excitedly welcomed Daniel. Hephin sat on Elepan's lap. "Thank you for being so good about this, Elepan." "You are welcome, my love. I'm getting used to it." They kissed for a while. When they pulled apart, Hephin saw that Daniel was fucking Tim and Will was fucking Daniel. Dregor was stroking his cock while he watched them. Hephin got off Elepan's lap. He took Dregor's hand and they walked to Hephin's bedroom. As soon as the door was closed, Dregor asked, "Can you read my mind?" Hephin laughed. "No. Why?" "I was just thinking that I wished I could be alone with you." "Well, we are lovers. I guess we are in sync." They kissed for a while. "You can't read my mind, either," Hephin said. "Why? What were you thinking?" "I was wishing I had some of your nice, creamy spunk." "I think I can make my hungry Alpha happy. Let me wash my cock." Dregor walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. He took a towel, wet it and wiped his cock. He walked back into the bedroom with his erection swinging back and forth. Hephin grinned. He got on the bed and Dregor straddled him. Hephin stuck out his tongue. "Oh, you are hungry!" "I am!" Hephin sucked on the head of Dregor's pretty cock while he stroked the shaft. It didn't take long for Dregor to ejaculate into Hephin's mouth. "How was that? Creamy enough?" Dregor asked, grinning. "It was!" "I will give you more later." "Promise?" "Would I disappoint my Alpha by selfishly not having an orgasm?" "I hope not!" Hephin said, laughing. They went back into the living room. This time Hephin climbed on Dag's lap. "Dregor looks happy," Dag said to Hephin. Dag ran his hands over Hephin's flawless skin. Hephin leaned back against his older lover. "You know, Dag. I just realized that you are old enough to be my father." Dag burst out laughing. "I'm old enough to be your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather, although just barely." All of them laughed. Hephin yawned. "Time for a nap," Dag said. "You have triplets in there, you know." "Yeah. Yours, Melforth's, and D." Hephin stopped. He almost said 'Dregor's'." "Who is Duh," Will asked. "He is a mystery." "Do you know the father of the third baby?" Will asked. "Of course I know him. I just don't know who he is." They all laughed. "That's a line in a movie. I wish I could take credit for it," Hephin said. "You are the Alpha. You can lie to us," Max said. "It's your baby, Max." "Uh." Hephin laughed at the expression on Max's face. He was definitely not ready for a baby. "I was lying. I would bet money that it isn't yours. You weren't ready for one." Max nodded. "Maybe two of them are Dag's. His dick is twice the size of mine." Dag laughed. "I didn't realize the connection between cock size and multiple births." Hephin deliberately didn't look at Dregor. He didn't want to get his hopes up and then disappoint him. But the feeling that is was Dregor's was growing stronger. He did want to give Dregor a baby. He hoped it was Dregor's. "You are rich now, Daniel, I think," Tim said. Hephin nodded. "We have a wealthy pack. Each member gets a little money," Hephin said. "A little!" Max said. "Is he getting the same as the rest of us?" "Yes." "Ten million, Daniel," Max told him. "Shit! I knew this was a dream!" Daniel said. Several of them laughed. Daniel stared at Hephin. "Why?" "Because I am rich and you are my lover. I pay by the sperm cell." They all laughed. "Actually, it is Dag's money. He has a little more than he needs." Dag laughed. "A bit more." "I don't really understand," Daniel said. "Dag, do you want to tell his your story?" "Sure. I am not pack Vin-Ta. I heard about Hephin and his father through some acquantances who have acquantances in this pack. I very much want a child. I contacted Alaphin, who told me that Hephin and his father Rince were his son and grandson, as well as members of his pack and they would be bearing kids for his pack members. He told me he had friends and relatives who had waited as long as I had for a child. He told me that if I wanted to have one anyway, Hephin might consider it for at least three billion dollars." Daniel's mouth dropped open. "I was really pretty disgusted, but I came down here to meet Hephin. I fell in love with him and went from being disgusted to being madly in love in about an hour." Several of them laughed. "Hephin was already pregnant, but he allowed me to try to impregnate him-for free-that same day. It worked and I pretty much became a member of his pack at that time. Three billion dollars is not enough for me to worry about. He never did make me pay it, but I gave him and the pack money, anyway. I am also building our very secure new pack home down the road and paying part of the cost of securing Alaphin's pack land. Since Hephin will be spending a good deal of time here, it needs to be secure, too." "Security is important, because there are a lot of Vin-Ta who are desperate enough to do anything to get me to bear them children," Hephin added. Daniel shook his head. "Now, I want to spend some time with our kids," Hephin said. "Will, will you show Daniel around?" Will grinned. "I would be delighted."
