(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Testing the bounds

Kellen found himself on his back, with his shirt undone, and the weight of another man on top of him rather quickly. He knew that the Captain’s hands moved rapidly, but he shouldn’t feel this dazed.

"Captain, are you forcing me to guide you?" Kellen asked, and the Captain pulled away from where he had been pressing his lips against Kellen’s throat.

"Mm? No, sweetheart. I wouldn’t do that to you ever again." He answered solemnly. Kellen blinked, still dazed, and the Captain noticed something was wrong. "Are you alright?" He asked, and Kellen took a minute to answer.

"I’m a little dazed. My head feels fuzzy. Like I guided you." The Captain’s concern melted away and he grinned at Kellen.

"Are you sure it isn’t because you like the feeling of my weight on top of you and you’re feeling nice and relaxed? And hot and bothered?" Kellen, who normally would have been embarrassed at the Captain’s prompt, thought about his words. He huffed a breath through his nose and smiled at the Captain.

"Yeah. I think I am." He told him, and the Captain paused.

"You are?" He confirmed, and Kellen nodded.

"Yeah. It feels comfortable to have you on top of me." Kellen gave a soft laugh. "I don’t know why. I don’t normally like being pinned down, but for some reason, you are the exception." The yellow slowly seeped out of the Captain’s eyes, shifting to a deeper, golden colour.

"How pinned do you think you could handle?" He asked, his voice slightly deeper.

"Uh, how pinned do you want me?" Kellen countered and watched as a slow, devious smile crossed his lips. The Captain pressed a kiss against Kellen’s throat, grazing his teeth across the tender flesh there.

"Whatever you’ll let me get away with." Kellen sucked in.

"And you dared to say I was the kinky one?" Kellen demanded, and the Captain sunk his teeth in a little deeper. A soft sound left Kellen’s lips, surprising him, and the Captain. The Captain released him, and licked his lips.

"Don’t you dare get embarrassed for making that sound. It’s mine. I made it." The Captain warned him. Kellen knew the alarms should be going off at his tone, and the way that the Captain was looking at him, but instead of fear, the Captain’s reaction made him want to laugh at him.

"I’m pretty sure I made that noise." Kellen teased, and the Captain stared at him.

"Yeah, but with my help, so I earned it. Every little sound you make while under me is owed to me. Don’t you dare keep them to yourself. That’s selfish, and it’ll make me upset." The Captain told him firmly, and Kellen took his golden gaze, his slightly sweaty face and body, and just melted into the couch. He reached out, cupping the older man’s face in his hand, stroking his thumb against the skin of his cheek.

"Is it selfish? What if I can’t help but get embarrassed?" The Captain frowned.

"No. Spending time with me like this isn’t embarrassing. It’s natural. There’s a reason we’ve been going so slow, so that you get used to this and don’t get scared away. Or embarrassed. I never want you to feel like you can’t be as loud as you want, or enjoy yourself. There is no shame here." The Captain told him, and Kellen wrapped his arms around his neck.

"You are being so serious about this. I was teasing you, Captain. I was more surprised that I made a noise than embarrassed." Kellen told him, and the Captain narrowed his gaze at him.

"How dare you tease me when I’m filled with so much concern for you? Do you understand that I worry you’re going to push me away at any second? That you will panic and kick me out?" The Captain admitted, and Kellen could feel himself relaxing the more he heard about the Captain’s concerns.

"You’re concerned about those kinds of things?" Kellen asked, and the Captain sighed. He closed his eyes, and dropped his head until it was resting against Kellen’s chest.

"Of course I worry about those kinds of things. You’re my pair, and I want you to rely on me. Always me." He raised his head, and Kellen felt his heart begin to pound at the look he gave him. It felt like the Captain was beginning to devour him with his eyes alone.

"O-Oh. Well, I do rely on you. You’re the one who forced me to confront my concerns, and you’re the one I feel comfortable with pinning me down." The Captain nodded.
