(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: I’m not afraid of you

"Come here, Rhys." Kellen ordered, and Rhys swallowed before he glanced up at Kellen’s face through his eyelashes. The man’s eyes were wet, he was going to cry. Kellen wasn’t sure what the feeling in his chest was when he realised that. All he knew was that he didn’t like it, and he was going to comfort this man.

"What do you want me to do?" Rhys asked, sniffing and Kellen made sure his shirt wasn’t in the way. Then, he glanced down at his own body.

Okay, he would admit it. That did look pretty nasty.

It didn’t feel nasty, however, since Taylor had done a good job on it. Even though it was probably very intensive to heal, she had made sure that it caused him the least amount of pain. She had already told him that breaks were easy to heal. Bruising probably took a lot out of her. She’d done that though, and had asked him to guide her so that she could. He really needed to give her more than some cookies they had worked on together to make.

Kellen raised his hand to his own chest, gently touching the bruise. It barely hurt, just a slight ache and knowing that, Kellen raised his other hand, wiggling his fingers in a demanding motion. Rhys, confused, placed his hand in Kellen’s and Kellen guided his hand to his exposed chest.

"Touch me, Rhys. Feel me. I’m still alive, and you aren’t hurting me." Rhys’ fingers were trembling as Kellen pressed his hand against his wounded chest. "Taylor did a good job. I’m okay. I promise." Rhys shook his head, and Kellen felt his heart break as a tear slid down his cheek.

"God. I thought I was going to explode when I saw you hurt." He murmured and spread his hand. He glanced up at Kellen, his gaze probing, before Kellen nodded and Rhys added his other hand. He shaped his chest, feeling him up in a way that Kellen hadn’t experienced yet.

He was checking him. Making sure he was in one piece. Kellen felt his heart ache.

"You almost did. I had to talk you down." Kellen reminded him and Rhys nodded, exhaling.

"I’m honestly still not feeling exactly stable right now either." Kellen chuckled.

"I’m in charge of you, remember? I know that. Do you want to do some higher level guiding with me on the bed, sweetness?" Kellen watched as his lip twitched, but his gaze didn’t move from Kellen’s chest.

"Sweetness?" Rhys repeated and Kellen nodded.

"You started this. I’m not calling you sweetheart. That’s what my parents do, and that’s a line I don’t want to cross." Kellen told him and Rhys snorted.

"Did you just try to tempt me into bed with you?" Rhys asked, his fingers spread against Kellen’s chest, wide. Kellen wouldn’t lie and say he wasn’t reacting to Rhys’ hands on him, but the man was paying attention to something else.

"Well, if something happens after that, who am I to say no? You wanted to show me something since I want your cock in my mouth. Do I think we should guide while I do that? Not yet. But...I might be convinced to do that soon." Rhys’ gaze did flick to Kellen’s when he said that. The man’s gaze started to burn, the gold so vibrant that Kellen almost had to look away. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

Kellen was actually surprised by how quickly he spiraled into desire. Or...maybe he shouldn’t be. The man was an S Class. He wasn’t exactly in a stable, normal environment. Kellen was partially to blame, since Rhys did care about him greatly, but Rhys was going to have to get used to some level of danger.

Kellen was going to have to make some concessions, and even he would admit this was a lot of different types of injuries, but this was his life. He would admit that Rhys was doing a great job of not freaking out on him, at least. Just on others.

"You would...guide me while sucking me off?" Rhys whispered. "What is it? My birthday?" Rhys asked and Kellen snorted.

"Your birthday is a few months out, Rhys. And I also said I’m not ready for it now, so who knows? Maybe it will be part of your birthday present." Rhys groaned, closing his eyes for a moment, his hands still shaking against Kellen’s skin.

"I...hate to admit, but that sounds like something I need right now." Rhys admitted. "Are you sure you’re okay with that? I could be...a little wild. I won’t hurt you. I will never hurt you without your full consent." Rhys was oddly firm about this, but Kellen just found it endearing.
