(BL) Hunting The Field Guide - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Don’t you ever do that again Chapter 158: Don’t you ever do that again Kellen took a moment, trying to think of a solution, before opening his mouth.  “Why don’t we reach out to the Guiding Centers?

We can form a contract with a couple of them to come to the Guild and help lessen the burdens of Casper and Brent.

It’ll calm everyone down, and also help act as a scouting opportunity.

We can always offer contract takeovers if we end up liking the Guides we receive.” Kellen shifted in his lap as he stared at the Captain’s slightly stunned expression.

He pressed his finger against his nose, giving it a poke with a grin.

“Honestly, I’m surprised you didn’t think of it already.”  Rhys stared at Kellen in deep surprise, before a warm, tender grin crossed his features.  “Kellen, I just told you I can’t predict your future., which included things you would be involved with.

You fill in my blind spots, even if I can’t see it at the time.” Kellen felt his face heat at the gentle words, and his gentle touch.

“But I don’t want to burden Casper by asking him to set this up, nor Pamela since she is also busy with her original work.” He seemed deeply apologetic for turning down Kellen’s offer, and Kellen huffed.  “You can leave it to me.

I can do it.

It isn’t like I can’t use my own contract as a base template, and I can run around asking them questions instead of forcing them to come to me.

Plus, I would like to say I have some sway with the Guiding Centers, even if it is fear now.” Rhys’ expression softened, while his eyes turned a beautiful shade of sunflower yellow.  “But are you going to be okay going to the centers?

What if you run into one of your previous friends?” He asked seriously, concerned for the man who had cried so deeply over what had happened only a few weeks ago.

Kellen’s chest ached at his words, but he shook his head, determined.  “I’ll be fine.

I’m stronger than I was that day, since it felt like it came out of nowhere.

Plus, since then I’ve been coddled by everyone else around me, so I’m feeling much stronger than before.

Physically and emotionally.” Kellen flexed his biceps with a grin and watched as a slight flush crossed Rhys’ face.

His hand moved almost as if he couldn’t help it, and he gave Kellen’s arm a squeeze.

Kellen kept himself flexed for his benefit, and watched as his neck muscles moved as he swallowed.  “You certainly have gotten stronger.

Did I ever tell you how hot it is that you put on so much muscles so that I can fuck your brains out?

It’s very hot.” He told Kellen seriously, the flush on his face not hiding his intentions at all.

Kellen laughed.  “Thank you for the compliment, even if I just think of this,” he gestured to his chiseled body, “as work.

I’m happy you’re getting something out of it.

So, officially, am I taking over the contracted Guide’s work?

Am I the one going around recruiting?” He asked, and the Captains’ expression as he stared at Kellen was something soft, warm, and made Kellen’s cock stiffen.

He tried to remain strong though.  “Work talk in the bedroom?

We can’t form bad habits from the get go, Kellen.” His eyes were teasing, as he wrapped his arms around him and pulled them together until their chests were touching.  ‘Well, in fairness to me, this isn’t the bedroom but the living room.

And I believe, someone in the past referred to their living room as an office and was trying to negotiate a pair contract with me there.

With their lips.” His eyes widened, before he threw back his head and laughed at Kellen’s smug expression.  “Alright, you’ve got me there.

In fairness to me, I do have an actual office in my apartment, but I just also happened to have ulterior motives.

I really wanted to get my hands on you back then.” He was unrepentant as he looked at Kellen.

Kellen stared back.  “Only then?” He asked, and Rhys pressed a kiss against his collarbone.  “Fine, I’ll admit it.

I never want to leave you alone.” The smile he gave Kellen at his words made a soft, warm part of himself melt, and he relaxed.

What a handsome man that he could now call his own without any reservations.  Kellen was a little disappointed in himself for not even managing to make it a month without resisting his advances, but he needed to be kind to himself.

He had apparently been in love with this man for quite a while, so it was obvious that he would fold fairly quickly when he showed interest in him.

Especially when it felt so good.  “It was quite hard on me to not touch you over the last two weeks.

There was a point where I knew if I touched you, there wasn’t going to be any going back, so I restricted contact until I had enough time to savour you.” At the mention of how the last two weeks had been, Kellen felt his chest tightened painfully.

Rhys, who had been light, happy, noticed the change in Kellen immediately.

“Kellen?

What’s wrong?” He asked and Kellen shook his head.  “No, it’s over, and as far as I am concerned, we’ve already discussed it.

Just…please don’t do that again.” He muttered, looking away from Rhys’ face.

The loneliness he had felt, the emptiness and sense of unease that had consumed him for those two weeks while also trying to be understanding had left a big impact on him.

But he didn’t want to burden him with those feelings.

As long as he promised not to do it again, Kellen was fine to let it pass.  “Kellen…fuck.

I’m sorry.

I knew you were upset, but I didn’t-” Kellen raised his hand, stopping the words tumbling out of Rhys’ mouth.  “Don’t.

I’ve already forgiven you, and forgotten.

I don’t want to hear apologies, I just don’t want you to do it again.

Especially if it was for a bullshit reason like you were worried what you would do to me.

I would rather be charged in public and have you kiss me until I can’t breathe then you ignore me like that again.” Kellen forced his lips to turn up in a smile, but he knew it was a little wonky.

Rhys took a long moment to respond, looking over Kellen’s tense expression and body language.  “You must have been quite frustrated if you are now giving me permission to do something to you in public.

You are quite shy about most things outside of guiding.” Kellen knew his cheeks heated, and Rhys wasn’t even teasing him.

He was being serious.  “I would prefer never to have to do guiding in public either, but that’s my job.

I am able to draw a line in my head when it comes to that.” Rhys smirked, his eyes dipping into a golden shade and Kellen knew he was in trouble.  “So, if I needed guiding where you were on your knees under my desk, sucking my cock with those pretty little lips of yours, you’d do it?” Kellen blinked, before he felt his face heat.

Rhys had always been good at painting pictures in his head.

Rhys chuckled at his expression.  “I would prefer it if it was your home office, b-but if it came to it, yeah, I would do it.” He felt his voice trail off and the Captain reached up and cupped his cheek.

His eyes were dancing when Kellen met them, and his grin was mischievous.  “My little Kellen woods.

You’re so cute when you’re honest.

As I’ve already said, I’m learning I’m far too possessive to show others too much of you, so as long as you don’t deem it a necessity, I won’t ever do something where someone else could see you.

Now, if they storm in on us after we’ve gone somewhere private, that I can’t control.

But I promise you now, I would never purposefully embarrass you like that.” His words were sincere, but something about how he said them bothered Kellen.

There was something there he felt suspicious about.  “What do you mean you won’t embarrass me like that?

What are you not saying there?” He demanded and Rhys sighed.

His eyes sparkled when they met Kellen’s though.  “Awe, you caught on.

Well, I can’t say that I don’t like teasing you.” His eyes had changed completely to yellow, but Kellen knew that didn’t mean they couldn’t change quickly to gold.

He was having fun teasing Kellen.

“I wish I could tease you as easily.” Kellen muttered glumly.

He hated that he wasn’t good at it, and he wasn’t sure why.

Maybe it was because he got nervous around him?

He had been his Captain for so long, but now he was his Captain.

It was a hard shift for him.  Rhys stared at Kellen, his yellow gaze watching him as Kellen worked through several emotions.

Squeezing the flesh he held on the younger man, he grinned when Kellen met his gaze again.  “Well, knowing you, I’m a little scared to find out what you consider teasing, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.

Try your best, but be prepared.

I always give as good as I get.” Alarm bells began ringing in the back of his mind, but Kellen paid no attention to them.

He found himself pressing his lips against Rhys’, chasing that smirk on his lips, wanting to swallow it whole.  Rhys took control of the kiss quickly, deepening it to what Kellen would consider a level 2 kiss and Kellen couldn’t prevent the groan that left his lips.

Wanting to be skin to skin with the man, he pushed forward, their cocks rubbing against each other and Kellen swallowed the groan that left Rhys’ lips in response.

A soft smirk playing on his own lips in response.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS CalyB Kellen just wants to forgive and forget, but I have a feeling that it’s going to weigh on the Captain’s mind for a lot longer.
