Chapter 235: A successful seduction?
Kellen placed his laptop on the table, gripping onto his cane tightly, he began to lower himself down.
The pain was hard to deal with, but he clenched his teeth, and felt like he was about to sit down when all three of the Espers around him got to their feet if they weren’t already.
Hill and Pamela were stone-faced, and a little pale, while the Captain grabbed him and shook his head vigorously.
"No." He told Kellen, who stared up at him with wide, confused eyes.
"It’s just-"
"You’re clenching your teeth so hard I can hear them, and you have sweat already forming on your face. No." He had no idea what Pamela and Hill were off doing, but Kellen couldn’t help but feel his heart sink. He glanced down, disappointed.
"But if I can’t sit next to you, we can’t have our little lunch date." Kellen muttered softly, and the Captain’s grip on him tightened.
"...Fuck." He exhaled, and Kellen flinched.
"Did I say-"
"Hush, you demon. I am trying to control myself." Rhys muttered aggressively, and Kellen’s worry washed away. He was trying not to pounce on him, and Kellen appreciated it. Sighing, Kellen bent his head, pressing it against the Captain’s chest while the man held him. The feel of his body heat through the simple touch relaxed him.
"What do you think Hill and Pamela are doing?" He asked, and the Captain sighed.
