(BL) Hunting The Field Guide - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: A number 1 fan with the Captain Chapter 323: A number 1 fan with the Captain “I think I’m in love.” Rhys sat in a daze, meaning to get work done, really, truly, but he couldn’t take his mind off of everything that had happened the previous night.

Kellen had been…holy.  He couldn’t get the way he’d dropped to his knees, no hesitation out of his mind.

The way that Kellen had looked up at him, a little smirk on his lips as he undid his belt after he’d locked the door behind him?

Or, or when Kellen had looked at him like he wanted to eat him whole several times throughout the night?

What about when Kellen wanted him to give him more pleasure and pain?

Rhys wondered if Kellen was even going to be able to sit down today.

Rhys was going to be having some crazy fucking dreams for the foreseeable future.  “Don’t tell Kellen.

He might get upset that he has to compete.” Hill joked, and Rhys snorted.  “You know it’s him.

There wouldn’t be anyone else I would even consider, nor would I have plans to.

I’m a one man guy, and my boyfriend is so fucking hot.” Rhys bragged and Hill made a disgusted face.  It was just her, Gunther, and Rhys in the conference room at the end of the table.

Gunther had headphones on that were designed for Espers, so he wasn’t paying attention to the conversation.

He probably wouldn’t even want to listen to it either.  When he had messaged them when he had been picking up the dinner for him and Kellen, he had let them know of his plans to get some work done early when Kellen went to workout in the morning.

Hill had insisted that she would join him, while Gunther hadn’t said anything in the chat.  He had shown up, which told him a lot about where Gunther was mentally.

Not well.  He was worried about the conversation he was going to have to have with him now that Casper was back to work.

He could tell that Gunther was getting worse with each day he wasn’t able to see him.

Rhys could see it, but there was nothing he could do about that.

Gunther was, rather unfortunately, the one who helped make his bed.  Now Rhys had to help he realise what he’d done, and why things weren’t working out.

Casper was not going to be around when he had this conversation.

He was debating whether Kellen should even be allowed around him.

He knew it would hurt Gunther if he found out about these thoughts he was having about him, but Gunther had proved that he needed to be considered like this.  He had not told Rhys, or had expected that he and Rhys had similar thoughts about love.

Rhys, however, didn’t think that because Kellen liked a bit of pain during their time together in bed, that that was what love was about.

He knew that if he and Kellen were screaming at each other, or if he ignored Kellen without any good reason, shit would hit the fan.

He knew that there were some lines that he should never cross.  Rhys was just stunned that Gunther didn’t think the same way.  If Rhys was honest, he hated that he was going to have to confront him.

He knew that their relationship might not make it out of it.

Gunther was just like that.

Fucker expected Casper, of all fucking people, to hit him to start a relationship.

Casper!

Rhys was almost scared to find out what actually went down, or how often Casper had been pushed and pulled for him to snap like that.  What had Gunther actually done to get him to that level?

And did he plan to put his hands on Casper after this?

Rhys felt sick to his stomach to even think about that.

He knew that there were a lot of different kinds of relationships within the Esper and Guide community.

It wasn’t a secret that violence and love went hand in hand.  Hell, he and Kellen were a decent example of that, but…Casper was, as Kellen would describe a ‘soft’ Guide.

He wasn’t interested in that kind of thing.

The only thing Casper had been interested in for as long as Rhys had known him was…Gunther.  Rhys didn’t know what he could do to keep Casper in the Guild.

He wasn’t even sure if he wanted to, depending on how he took the conversation he was going to have to have with him.

Was he going to have to send Casper away for his own safety?

Was Gunther going to try and find him and convince him to change his mind?  Fuck.

Who should he shove Casper to when he had this conversation with Gunther?

It couldn’t be anyone he would expect.

Couldn’t be the Woods, Hill or any of the other lieutenants.

It’d have to be…someone else.  Sighing, Rhys ran his hand over his face before he turned his attention back to the previous night.

Kellen had given him a gift, and he was not the kind of man who would ever forget that.  “What is your boyfriend up to?” Hill asked, a smile in her voice as she unwrapped a lollipop and shoved it into her mouth.

She’d run out of her normal flavour three days ago and she had been begrudgingly eating whatever she could get her hands on, but this morning a large box arrived full of her favourite flavour, and favourite lollipop.  These kinds of gifts were almost common now, even if they had only started showing up when Kellen had joined.

Rhys chuckled, smiling as Hill happily typed away, a slight glow to her face as she enjoyed her candy.  “He is supposed to be working out, but when I passed by the gym on my way down he was chatting with some Espers.

I believe they were some of the ones he guided when Casper was ill, but I am not fully sure.” Hill chuckled.  “Did you storm inside?” She asked and Rhys chuckled.  “I didn’t need to.

Kellen was doing a great job of making sure he wasn’t available.

He didn’t have a top on, you see, so everyone could see-” Rhys cut off, a silly grin crossing his face.

He was never going to oppose Kellen’s marking mentality.

Especially since Kellen marked him back.  Rhys had a Kellen mark from when he’d completely lost himself to the pleasure on his shoulder, and he was itching to show it off.

Maybe he was going to go do a workout this afternoon?

Work out some of the aggression he was building up, and also show off how crazy in love he was with his partner?  That seemed like a perfect day.  Hill was shaking her head, a smile on her face.  “He has you wrapped around his finger, huh?

When are you going to get a collar?

For yourself, obviously.” Hill teased and Rhys chuckled.  “I don’t think Kellen is into that kind of play, but I’ll see what he says.

If he agrees, I’m thinking ‘Kellen’s boytoy’ in pink rhinestones.

What’s your thoughts on that?” Hill nearly choked, coughing for several minutes before she gave Rhys a look.

He was grinning from ear to ear and she shook her head.  “Does Kellen even know what kind of a menace you are?” She asked, with distaste on her face.

Rhys grinned, sighing.  “He likes it.” He told her and Hill rolled her eyes, making a disgusted noise.  “Oh gross.

Enough.

I prefer hearing it from Kellen because he doesn’t tell me too many details.

I know you well enough that you’d give me a damn play by play.” Rhys pouted.  “You don’t want to hear how in love I am?

When I’ve listened to almost all of yours?” Hill practically snarled at him.  “You have a pair who would kill anyone for you.

I’m still single af.

Kellen at least has some level of respect for his single friends.” Hill scolded, and Rhys grinned.  “Yeah.

Isn’t he great?” Rhys gushed and Hill rolled her eyes.

She tossed a lollipop in his direction and Rhys caught it.  “Shove that in your mouth and get to work.

Sorry it isn’t Kellen, but I’m pretty sure he’s not into that kind of thing.” Rhys grinned, happiness a pulse under his skin.

She was right.

Kellen wasn’t a voyeur in that sense, but he didn’t mind showing off the marks from the previous night.

A shiver went down Rhys’ spine, his smile warm as he pulled the wrapper off of the candy in his hand and shoved it into his mouth.  Gunther, noticing the exchange, frowned, and held out his hand.  “Where is my candy?” He demanded, and Hill frowned at him, before she handed over the candy.

It was clear that Hill was pissed at him.

Gunther, not an idiot, knew something was up, but he didn’t know where it was coming from.

It hadn’t gotten so bad yet that Rhys had to step in, but he could feel the tension between them.  Fuck.

That conversation was looming over his head like a fucking grim reaper.  Gunther tore the wrapper off, his braids shifted as he moved and he glanced between the two of them.

He frowned.  “What?

Is something wrong?” He asked, moving his headphones to the side.

Rhys smiled faintly, shaking his head.  “No, not yet.” Rhys replied and that only seemed to confuse him more, but Hill looked away, exhaling slowly.

Gunther glanced between them, before he shrugged and put his headphones on again.

Rhys hoped that he was listening to music and wasn’t listening in on them.

He wasn’t an asshole.

Rhys wouldn’t speak about his friend while he was in the damn room, but he did know it would hurt for him to hear about him and Kellen when he thought that he was about to enter a relationship with Casper.  When Casper was actively trying to forget about him.  Ugh.

Why had things gotten so damn fucking twisted?  Rhys’s phone vibrated, and picking it up, he held it to his ear.  “Sir, an installation team has arrived.” It was the front desk, and Rhys exhaled slowly.

He stood up, adjusting his sleeves as he did so.  “Perfect.

I shall be there shortly.” Rhys told his clerk, before hanging up.

“The new glass has arrived.

I’m going to make sure that everything is okay, and then I’ll be back.” Hill nodded, Gunther having pushed his headphone back as soon as he saw him pick up his phone.  “Do you need help?” Gunther asked and Rhys shook his head.  “No.

If those fuckers intend to hurt me and mine, I’ll deal with them myself.” Rhys told the two lieutenants of the Guild who nodded.

It was perfectly reasonable to them, Rhys’ response, and Rhys swept out of the room, leaving the two of them alone.

Gunther put his headphones back on, but kept glancing at Hill, who wouldn’t even look at him.  Something was going to have to give.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS CalyB Rhys with a bedazzled collar with Kellen’s boytoy on it in pink rhinestones is quite the image.

Kellen would kill him.
