"Did you miss me?" Rhys asked as they cuddled on the couch. They’d both came, Kellen’s cum painting Rhys’ Captain uniform. Kellen had felt something dangerous stir inside of him as he saw it. He’d forced Rhys to sit there, covered in Kellen’s cum while Kellen molded and touched him through his uniform.

Rhys had let him do it, watching Kellen with open affection and love, letting Kellen have his way. Kellen let out a soft, happy sigh as he slowly met Rhys’ gaze, leaning forward to press a kiss against Rhys’ neck, above his collar. He kissed it repeatedly, before he sucked, hard enough to leave a mark.

When he pulled back, Rhys’ expression was relaxed, happy.

"Someone feeling a little possessive?" Rhys asked and Kellen nodded. He wasn’t going to lie to himself, or Rhys now that they had done what they had. Kellen felt his face warm as he stared at the mark he’d just made.

"I won’t lie and say that I didn’t plan to seduce you today." Kellen told him lowly, Rhys still inside of him in the way that he liked. Rhys grinned.

"Oh? I am honoured that I was on your to do list." Rhys told him seriously, and Kellen smirked slightly at his bad joke.

"You should be." Kellen told him boldly, getting a bright smile in response. "But, it wasn’t for pure intentions. I was doing it so that I could get my way." Kellen told him. Rhys squeezed Kellen’s flesh under his hands, his hips and ass plump for Rhys’ taking.

"That’s rather bad, Mr. Woods. You weren’t pure intentioned when you wore just an apron and your boxers while waiting for me to come home? Tsk tsk." He was teasing him, and Kellen scowled, but there was no bite to any of it.

"I was doing it because I wanted to get a positive response from you, but now that we’re here, I think I just wanted you inside of me." Kellen admitted, pressing a hand against his lower stomach where Rhys still was. Rhys let out a shaky breath, his eyes going so gold bright that Kellen had to close his own.

"Fuck. Don’t do that again. I think I could have cum again in the condom and that’s not allowed." Rhys growled. Kellen, feeling content, and a little dangerous, gave him a sideways smile.

"I don’t think that’s such a bad thing. After all, I’m looking forward to when we can do it raw again." Kellen bent, his lips brushing against Rhys’ ear as he whispered. "I can’t wait for when you can fill me up with your cum until I’m overflowing." Rhys was rigid underneath him.

"Kellen." It was a plea. He was begging the man to go easy on him. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"But," Kellen said, pulling back with a smug grin, his blue eye blazing with open possessiveness, "I’ll settle for you inside of me, my seed all over your uniform. Only I am allowed to see you like this." Kellen purred. Rhys’ hands flexed on Kellen’s skin.

"I am yours, truly and completely. You can do whatever you want with me." Rhys vowed. "You also didn’t need to seduce me to get what you want, but I will never, ever turn that option away. I would be stupid to do so." Rhys confessed, his eyes still golden. "Now, what was my sweet, lovely Field Guide wanting that he thought he needed to seduce me?"

Kellen’s explanation of what he had needed to discuss with Rhys, who he had gone to and what he had planned, was met with a soft exhale and a smile. Rhys shook his head, his eyes warm as he squeezed Kellen’s body in his hands.

"Sugar, my love, the apple of my eye, I’m an Esper. As rude as this might come off, if the Guides want to form a support system for themselves to prevent another hostile takeover, who am I to refuse?" He asked. Kellen frowned slightly.

"You’re their Captain, Rhys." Kellen pointed out and Rhys chuckled.

"Yes, I understand that. I absolutely understand that, but I’m learning that I’m not suited to manage the Guides. I want to be able to do so, but I just don’t think it’s going to work out. I was aware of it before, which is why I had Casper in charge, but I also realised that I am still lacking in my knowledge of how to manage Guides and how to support them. So, if you’re telling me that they want to put this system in place, which I think is a good and smart thing to do, I’m not going to fight you over it. Do I think you should talk to Casper about it and see how he feels? Yes." Rhys said and Kellen felt his eyes widen slightly.

He was glad that Rhys was the one who brought up Casper. The only reason why Kellen hadn’t gone to Casper right after his discussion with the Field Guides was because he was in a meeting with Rhys. He really didn’t want to interrupt them, because Kellen wanted them to focus on what they needed to discuss.

"Good. I’m glad that we’re on the same page." Kellen said. "It feels wrong to exclude Casper from these conversations, and the Guides also think the same way. They made sure to emphasize ’temporary’ when we were talking to them." Kellen said and Rhys smiled.

"I’m glad that even after everything, they still trust him." Rhys said, before sighing. "Ugh. I just want to spend the rest of the night with you, but I have those damn meetings I need to go to." Rhys said, pouting. "I’m going to rub it in their faces that I had a ready and willing Kellen in my arms before I arrived." Rhys muttered darkly and Kellen laughed.

"You have a ready and willing Kellen in your arms right now. Are you really going to not go another round? I’ve barely marked you." Kellen said and Rhys’ eyes went wide at Kellen’s soft, sultry tone.

"What about dinner?" He asked, his voice husky and Kellen laughed. He pressed a soft kiss against those pretty lips and smiled.

"I made it so that it would be easy to heat up after." Kellen confided and Rhys shuddered.

"I’ve never been so happy to hear anyone say that."

Kellen watched lazily from the couch as Rhys straightened his uniform and ran his hands through his hair. It was a lost cause, since Kellen had well and truly ruffled him up, but it was a nice sight to see.

Kellen was wrapped up in a blanket, a warmed bowl of pasta in his hands, pillows behind his back as his ass ached dully. It wasn’t pain, not in the slightest, just the reminder of what they had continued to do up until the last moment.

It was a shame to see all of Kellen’s hard work and spent passions gone from Rhys’ uniform, but from the slight golden hue to Rhys’ gaze, he remembered each and every spot that Kellen had left.

Kellen gave a warm, satiated smile as he watched his man get dressed. Rhys knew that Kellen liked to watch, even when he was in a hurry.

"Tell them hello for me, will you?" Kellen called, his fork stabbing some of the pasta as he spoke. Rhys nodded seriously, his face falling into work mode. It was so fascinating to watch him prepare himself, the Captain that Rhys was, that Kellen had always watched with a gaze that was a bit too possessive, forming before him. Kellen couldn’t help but find it attractive.

"Of course, Sugar." Rhys promised and Kellen sighed.

"And if you go to see the asshole Esper who hurt Gunther, send her my regards as well." Kellen told him. Rhys’ nostrils flared slightly, his gaze rising to Kellen. Rhys’ smile was a little self-deprecating.

"I wasn’t intentionally keeping it from you." He promised and Kellen smiled. He knew that, which was why he wasn’t punishing Rhys for his behaviour right now.

"As the saying goes, old habits die hard. I’m not blaming you, just reminding you." Kellen told him warmly, no bite to his words. Rhys came over, kissing Kellen deeply, pulling back and licking his lips.

"Mm, pesto." He murmured and Kellen grinned.

"You can eat your share when you come back after the meeting. I’ll make sure to put it away before I go to bed. Make sure to brush your teeth before you come to bed." Kellen warned and Rhys chuckled.

"So strict. What would I do without you?" Rhys asked, and Kellen didn’t even like to consider that thought.

"Nothing, because you won’t be without me." Kellen said, a hint of warning in his tone. Rhys bent, pressing a warm, loving kiss to his forehead.

"Absolutely. Get some rest, love. We’ve got busy days ahead of us. The funeral, the hopefully destroyed plans, setting up this system before you go and also planning to help Brent when we get there." Rhys said, his eyes warm. "You’ve got a lot on your plate. I feel like I’ll just be your arm candy once we finish our S Class meeting." He said and Kellen blinked. Then he relaxed into the couch cushions.

"What handsome arm candy I’ll have, then."

Rhys was beaming as he left for his late night meeting and Kellen, satisfied in body and mind, began to do his own research. Research that he hadn’t been able to do while Rhys was home.

Kellen started looking up the suggestions his Dad and Taylor had given him for jewelry shops, but something kept catching in his eye as he did so.

It was the small stone that Gwen had given him, that he’d put on one of the mostly bare shelves full of the little trinkets she’d given him over the years. The stone that was a mix of yellow and blue. Rhys and Kellen.

Kellen’s chest ached at the reminder, at the small show of support she had given him with a simple action. She had cared enough to find something that fit both of them, and had then had it polished. His sister who had doubted Rhys, doubted his intentions, but as soon as Kellen showed that he cared, she had supported them whole-heartedly. Had treated Rhys as her Captain in public, and as her brother in private.

He wanted to ask her if she could find another stone for them, or something similar, but she wasn’t able to speak at the moment. It was a rough reminder, but at the same time, it didn’t mean that Kellen couldn’t include her gift in his plans moving forward.

He could get Rhys’ ring made first with the stone that Gwen had found them and then when she woke up, because she would wake up, he could ask her to find another one for him.

Hell, he’d even take her making one for them, however that would work. He just wanted her to be a part of this, the same way Taylor and his Dad and his Mom were a part of this. The same way Brent would be a part of this once Kellen saw him in person.

Speaking of, he now had Brent’s phone number. Sergei would be busy with meeting with Rhys and Sakura, maybe now was a good time to call him.
