Chapter 261: At the expense of Kellen’s mental health
Taylor, rather loudly, cleared her throat.
"I am still here, Captain. Please keep your seductions to a moderate level when I am still in the room, please." Taylor’s cheeks were flushed and Rhys laughed, pulling the shirt up over Kellen’s head before he nodded, his eyes more bright then they had been since he’d found out.
"Sorry Green. It’s just so easy to get distracted by Kellen. Especially in his Field Guide uniform." Taylor rolled her eyes, while Kellen scrambled to get the monitor pads on his chest. Rhys was already hooked up, so it was just sitting down on the hard, plastic chair that was his next step.
All day today Kellen had either avoided sitting down, or had sat down on soft surfaces. This was because he hadn’t brought it up, but his ass hurt. It was sore, swollen, and every time he sat down on a hard surface he remembered what he and Rhys had done the night prior.
When he hesitated for a second, glancing up at Rhys, Rhys had a damn smirk on his face.
"What’s the problem, Kellen?" Rhys asked sweetly. "Is your thigh hurting?" Damn that man. He knew mentioning that would get Taylor worried, and then she would-
"Are you alright?" She asked and Kellen grumbled.
"I’m fine. Ignore him. The cream you gave me is working wonders, I just haven’t sat on a plastic chair in a while." Taylor gave him a strange look and Kellen glared at Rhys. Rhys chuckled as Kellen finally sat down, his ass throbbing. Rhys stared at him, a damn smirk on his face.
"Don’t worry Kellen, you don’t need to worry about plastic chairs tonight." Rhys told him and Kellen gave him the finger. Rhys laughed and offered out his hand. Kellen, flustered, wiped his hand on his pants before he took Rhys’ in his own.
Taylor, thankfully, counted them in then, and Kellen jumped into Rhys willingly, worried about the state he was in.
He was right to worry. The waves were giant swells, the ocean aggressive, demanding, and dangerous. Rainbows glittered in the caps of the waves every once in a while, so it wasn’t as if all the hard work Kellen had done had gone to waste. It was just that the man himself was very turbulent.
