Captain Rhys Thatcher was a man known for his logic and reasoning skills. Sure, there were times where things went…off the tracks, but that could be forgiven. He was an S Class, after all, and that came with some weird side effects.
His mood swings were one of them.
He still hadn't fully figured out what influenced them. Was it his lust? Or lack of it? He wasn't quite sure, but he did know that Kellen had always had a way to affect him. In good, and bad ways.
On the front lines Rhys would admit that he had turned into a monster. Kellen played a role in that. For 7 years the two of them had danced around each other and Rhys wasn't sure if it would have been any better if he had acted. He felt that if he had tasted Kellen too soon he would have ruined him, and ruined the new relationship that they were developing.
It was so…precious, and new, and so unlike anything Rhys had had before.
How much do you think the Captain's insanity went up from this event alone? It was sped up by 3 days? 4? Who knows.
