Standing up, Don holds a pair of cuffs.

Not handcuffs, that would be normal, but a different kind of cuffs. Don holds a metal looking of cuffs which looks like shackles but not really, looking shocked, and a bit confused.

"Danny?" Don asked.

Danny struggles to see what Don is holding up; his eyes are blurry, till he puts his glasses on, and goes "Oh, shit!" as soon as he sees the metal cuffs in Don's hand.

"What is this?" Don asks, his voice shaky, as he waves the cuffs around.

Danny quickly gets up from the bed, trying to think of an explanation, when suddenly Don throws the cuffs to the bed; "I have no time for this! I have to go to work!" Don is almost shouting, and then he storms out of the bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

Danny stands there, panicked, and does not know what to do next, should he go after Don, or...or...

Mac steps out of the bathroom; "What the hell is going on?"

Danny is silent, and points to the cuffs on the bed; Mac follows the pointing and sees the cuffs. He goes stony, and looks at Danny, who muttered; "I..I thought I hid them!"

"Doesn't look like it!" Mac snaps. Danny knew at once that he have upset his Master, and goes silent, wondering whether if Mac will punish him.

"You are being punished enough!" Mac reads Danny's thoughts; "I just hope that Don is not being put off!"

Danny just nods.

For the next few days, Don would try to avoid Danny and Mac at all costs, expect when it was not possible, for example when they were working a crime scene.

Stella noticed all the tension between the three guys, and went to Don.

"What's the matter?" Stella asked Don, who looked shocked.

"We all could feel the tension between you three!" Stella told him, and Don squeezed the bridge of his nose, realizing that it was all happening again. He didn't mean to cause the tension again for the team, like he did, when he found out about Danny and Mac. He just didn't know how to react, how to deal with the fact that his lovers were into kinky games, or whatever it is they do.

Don told Stella, that he would talk to Mac and Danny, and that it was nothing to worry about. Stella nodded.

Later that night, Don decided to go to Mac and Danny's apartment, to talk it over with them.

Mac opens the door, and he looks surprised, as he finds Don at the door. Don goes in, going past Mac and into the living room.

Danny jumps up from the ground; he was sitting on the ground against Mac's armchair. Mac follows after Don.

"I am sorry to burst in like this." Don said, then paused and started again; "I wanted to apologize for the way I reacted the other night. I just..just.."

Mac put a hand on Don's shoulder and squeezed it, "There's nothing to apologize about. It should be us who should apologize for the way that you found out."

Danny steps closer to Don and Mac, and nodded, "Yeah, man! I am so sorry, man!"

Don put a hand up, "It's okay, Danny. I had to find out somehow."

Then all three of them sit down on the sofa, unsure how to start a conversation, till Mac asked Don if he wanted to ask any questions.

"So, you both play kinky games?" Don asked.

Danny and Mac smiled, and shook their heads. Don looked confused, and was about to ask what they mean, when Mac interrupted;

"It is not a game that we play. It is serious between me and Danny."

"Yeah, man. Erm, to put this way, Mac is my Master and I am his submissive, and games are not what we play. It is more serious than that." Danny explained.

"Oh.." Don said, and Mac smiled, put a hand on Don's knee, and squeezed it.

"Do not worry, Don. If it is not what you want, then we won't force it on you. I would love to explore it with you, but only if you are up for it."

Don smiled at Mac, "I have been kinky before, Mac, but not as serious as you both. I mean, I like to be tied up, being teased and things like that, but never in a Dom/sub dynamic. It was always for fun....." Don was telling his lovers, "...and besides, as you both might have guessed, I like to switch between the two roles."

Mac smiled, Danny squealed like a little kid, as he heard that Don liked to be kinky sometimes.

"That's great, man! I mean, if it's okay with Mac, we could do all that without it being too serious!" Danny told Don, who grinned, and said that he could deal with that if Mac was up for it.

"Oh, hell, Don! I am always up for tying you up, and for some reason, I would allow you to top me!" Mac exclaimed which pleased Don to hear that.

Danny pouted, "Not fair...I will have the two of you topping me!"

Don laughed, "Don't worry, I will allow you to top me.......if you are being a good boy!"

Danny punched Don's arm, "Ha ha, very funny!"

"So what now?" Mac asked.

Don looked up at his two lovers with a glint in his eyes, "We could use these cuffs on Danny?"

Danny protested, saying that it wasn't fair, as Don and Mac stood up, and pulled him away to the bedroom, ignoring his protests, laughing.
