(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Let me feed you, Mr. Woods

"Well, if it’s such a problem, you can come up here during lunch, we’ll get food delivered, and I can feed you while you work." He seemed sincere with his suggestion, while Kellen stared up at him, stunned. The Captain of the Saturn Guild was offering himself up to feed him while Kellen worked?

He knew that S Classes were crazy, but not that crazy!

"Aren’t you worried about your image?" Kellen asked hesitantly, not outright saying no since he did like the sound of this arrangement. Rhys chuckled.

"My image? Did I come across as someone who was overly worried about that kind of thing?" Rhys asked in return, that little smirk on his lips that made Kellen swallow his tongue. Kellen knew his gaze was on his lips, and swallowing, he forced his gaze up to his smirking gaze.

"Well, not quite, but I know Pamela is worried about it." Kellen told him, and the Captain smiled down at him. He poked Kellen’s nose.

"She wouldn’t care about something like that, Kellen. In fact, I think she’d prefer if word got out that you had so thoroughly tamed me. I only worry about what kind of pressure that would put on you. People would start to target you since you are my weakness." Kellen opened his mouth to protest, until the word’s meanings washed over him. Stunned, Kellen wasn’t sure what to say when the Captain raised his hand to cup his cheek, gently stroking his face with his thumb, a smile on his face.

Kellen felt his head swim. How on earth was he okay admitting that so easily? Even if it was true, all Guides were considered their Esper’s weaknesses. Anyone would assume that. But an assumption was different from a confirmation.

Yes, they had a press conference. Yes, it looked like they were sickly in love with each other in that press conference. But that wouldn’t mean that...others would think that they were...that he was the Captain’s weakness...right...?

"That would happen all from someone saying you fed me during lunch?" Kellen asked, his voice a little quiet. The Captain nodded.

"Well, probably not at first, but it’s easy for words to get twisted around here. I’m sure once you agree to it, and we eat together tomorrow, by the evening word would have spread to the media that you had me on my hands and knees with a collar on as you forced me to feed you mouth to mouth." What an imagination this man had. Kellen felt his jaw drop, stunned, before he shook his head.

"I would never do that though." Kellen protested. Rhys’ arms tightened around Kellen when he didn’t push himself away from the Captain where he normally would do so.

"I know you wouldn’t. You’re not into that kind of play. Not that I’m against it if you’re into it." Kind of play? What was that? Some kind of sexual thing? Kellen could never see him doing anything like that to the Captain! There was no way that Kellen was going to put a leash and collar on the Captain, ever. Even if he asked.

Kellen huffed, annoyed.

"As much as talking like this has been fun, this conversation has no point, since I’m going to be out of the Guild Tower tomorrow running around to different Guiding Centers. But, I appreciate your concern, Rhys." The Captain of the Saturn Guild, a man known for being a stoic, strong Esper who scared others because his eyes were too close to the colour of danger to most of humanity, pouted.

"I won’t get to see you tomorrow at lunch then? Awe, I was hoping for a midday recharge from my Kellen." Finally too embarrassed by his words and actions, Kellen pushed out of his hold, his face warm.

"I’m sorry. You’ll have to wait till I get back from running around and we have our guiding session. It’s even more important for me to leave now that Casper’s not allowed to guide. I need to recruit new members, even if it’s temporary to save our remaining Guides." The Captain stared at him, still pouting, and Kellen trembled. He had to hold it together, and not show how much seeing that bottom lip stick out affected him.

Rhys eventually sighed, putting his hands on his hips, and shook his head. When he raised it, he had a smile on his face.

"Fuck. I hate that even now I find you pushing me away hot. I’m a glutton for punishment, aren’t I?" Kellen felt his eyes go wide at the Captain’s words, and he jerked his head around the room, noticing as they all looked away from him. This fucking man!

He was spreading weird rumours again!
