"Is this...really necessary?" Kellen asked nervously, and Rhys’ chuckle filled his ears.
"Of course it is. Are you comfortable?" Rhys asked, and Kellen frowned.
How the hell was he supposed to be comfortable?!
They had entered the bedroom, but there was one major thing of note. Rhys had wanted to...teach Kellen about what he was missing. Kellen, being who he was, had no idea what that meant. So, Rhys had helped Kellen get undressed of everything but Rhys’ jacket. Kellen, who had thought that this was greatly unfair, had put up a good argument about Rhys undressing too.
Rhys had humoured him for a while, but had eventually put his foot down.
"It will lose its meaning if we’re both undressed. At least, the first time. Come on Kellen. Won’t you trust me?" Kellen had flinched when he’d said those words to him. Combined with the glowing golden eyes, and the way he was pouting, Kellen had felt himself fold fast.
So, now he was practically naked while in the bedroom. Rhys sat on the edge of the bed, still in his full uniform, the lights were dim, and Kellen was laying on his stomach across his knees. He had no idea what to do with his hands, and Rhys could tell.
Hearing him chuckle, Kellen shivered.
"You can always look back at me if you ever get scared. I’ll stop, no matter what." Rhys told him. "Do you remember our safe word?" He asked and Kellen swallowed.
"No. I don’t." He admitted. For some reason, his heart was racing in his chest. The cold breeze of the air on his ass felt...strange. Unusual. He wasn’t normally naked like this. The breeze on his balls also felt slightly...uncomfortable. He shifted, uncomfortable, and nearly jumped out of skin when Rhys’ palm touched his lower back. He trembled as the man slid his hand further up his back, underneath the jacket.
"It’s crochet. We’re just starting, and you might not even like this, but keep it in mind. I’ll accept no, and I’ll let you know when I stop. But, I wouldn’t worry about that today. For now, I just want you to enjoy yourself, okay?" Kellen nodded. He had no doubt that was Rhys’ intentions, even if he doubted them.
"Uh, but are you sure I’ll like this?" Kellen asked nervously, licking his lips as he stared down at the carpet.
"Kellen, turn your head towards me." Kellen did what he was told without hesitation and was rewarded with Rhys’ lips on his own. Kellen felt himself relax even as Rhys squeezed his ass with his hand. Rhys deepened the kiss to a level two and Kellen felt his toes curl. He really liked kissing him.
Kellen gasped when Rhys pulled away, tugging on his bottom lip with his teeth. His bite was a little harder, a little deeper than he usually did. Kellen felt his head fog as the pleasure began to fill his head.
"Good. You’re nice and relaxed." Rhys murmured, and Kellen’s eyelids felt heavy. With his position where he wasn’t quite lying down, but wasn’t quite sitting up, he felt a little strange.
A light, gentle slap to his ass had him jerking in Rhys’ lap.
"W-Warn me!" Kellen exclaimed, his face flushing as Rhys laughed.
"That’s part of the fun. The anticipation." Rhys’ voice wrapped around Kellen, filling his head as Rhys’ hand rubbed where he’d hit. "Did that really hurt, Kellen? Or were you not expecting it?" Kellen glared at the ground.
"It didn’t hurt." He muttered, and Rhys pressed a kiss against his temple.
"Good boy for being honest." Rhys’ voice held so much affection for Kellen that he felt like he was going to choke on it. "Good boys get rewarded. I’ll make sure the next one hurts." It was the only warning Kellen got before Rhys slapped his other ass cheek. Kellen sucked in, the sting filling him. Rhys didn’t wait for him to respond, and slapped the other cheek.
Kellen gasped, shocked at his own reaction to the feeling. He didn’t think it was possible, but he shuddered as Rhys gently rubbed the stinging skin. The pleasure he’d felt from kissing Rhys hadn’t faded, and instead had...expanded? He was having a hard time wrapping his head around it.
He shivered as Rhys tapped a few fingers on the first cheek he’d slapped.
"Did you want me to stop?" He asked, and Kellen didn’t know what to say. Did he want him to stop? He didn’t think...he hated this, but he wasn’t sure if he liked it either. "Kellen?" Rhys asked, and Kellen glanced at him over his shoulder. Rhys’ gaze was glowing so bright it cast the rest of his face in shadow.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been afraid. But this was Rhys. The man who froze when Kellen kissed him by himself. The man who carried him like he meant the world to him.
"I-I don’t know." His voice sounded lost to his own ears and Rhys bent, kissing Kellen again. Kellen could feel every touch on his skin. Every stroke of a fingertip on his slightly stinging cheeks had him shivering the more that Rhys kissed him.
Kellen was the one to pull away, his head foggy and he raised his gaze to meet Rhys’. It was clear that Rhys wasn’t unaffected by what he was doing to Kellen. Even in the shadow, Kellen could tell his cheeks were slightly flushed. Kellen gulped.
"I just...I’m confused. I don’t know if I like it yet." Kellen told him, and Rhys chuckled. freewēbnoveℓ.com
