Chapter 419: A sudden revelation
"Isn’t your throat sore?" Kellen asked quietly. The room was practically empty at this early of an hour, but Rhys and Kellen weren’t alone. While Kellen and Rhys were sitting next to each other and Kellen had been quiet, no other noise was happening in the room.
It was also just the three of them. Kellen, Rhys and Taylor. Taylor was lying down on a few of the chairs, making herself comfortable as she let her hair dangle over the edge while she was on her phone. Kellen could see her face from here since Rhys was sitting to his right, and Taylor was further down.
He watched as her eyes bulged and she nearly dropped her phone onto her face. Rhys also looked incredibly embarrassed but Taylor pretended not to hear. Rhys coughed, almost to prove Kellen’s point that he should be concerned about his throat.
Kellen had passed out after they had finished guiding, his body pushed to a point he couldn’t come back from. Rhys had woken him up a few minutes before they were supposed to be down here. Rhys had bathed him while Kellen had been asleep, taken care of him and also gotten a little bit of work done with Kellen in his arms.
Kellen had felt a little guilty about that. They were supposed to distract each other, keep their minds occupied but Rhys had assured Kellen that Rhys had certainly been occupied while Kellen had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
It was a privilege that Kellen had passed out due to the things that Rhys had done to his body. How far he’d pushed him, in a good way. Kellen still didn’t quite believe him, which was why he was bringing up his throat.
Taylor was here. She could heal him.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen worse. She was in charge of all Espers and Guides in this Guild. Brent and Hill were a part of that, and he was sure there were freakier couples out there. Kellen considered them quite mild for the most part.
He’d done research, as any good science boy should. Looked into more about submissive and dominant relationships. They were quite mild, and Kellen still wasn’t fully certain he ever wanted to go the full mile. He liked their dynamic as it was. Neither one of them had to fit into either box, just when they wanted to. He still believed that they should make a word for when one of them wanted a certain treatment.
Kellen just kept forgetting about it, getting lost in the moment. He hadn’t had a hard stance either way and usually liked whatever Rhys wanted to do. He trusted him.
"K-Kellen, I’m fine. We shouldn’t speak about this in case anyone else is listening." Rhys said. He was speaking in an even quieter tone then Kellen and Kellen rolled his eyes.
