Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 590: Chapter 590 - Public Display of Affection

I went out of the room to give some privacy to Reiss and his friends. It is also kind of awkward since I technically had some sexual relations with four of the said childhood friends (Note: The one hidden in the forests near Freyheimr) before due to some extenuating circumstances. I never touched them afterwards though after that one time.

When I chose Reiss as my husband from their group before, those four guys looked particularly hurt but they opted not to say anything. As for me, it is better to leave the room for now than just take all this weird atmosphere in and stress myself out.

After excusing myself, I went straight to the kitchen to prepare some nourishing food and drinks for Reiss. He smiled at me helplessly and nodded once since I think he surely has an idea about the reason why I wanted to leave the room urgently.

Reiss’ POV

I have been enjoying the fact that I could spend some time with Luna these last few days. Though I know that she is doing it because I am about to give birth and the fact that she stayed with the other two as well before their babies were born. To put it simply, it is now my turn.

I was still happy since I was still included in her plans. I always felt that I was the least favored out of the husbands living in Tadhana even before. Just to be clear, she never made me feel that way. It is just my head and my doubts eating me up.

It did not help me at all that she recently brought two new pregnant men in Tadhana. She brought that irritatingly beautiful merfolk and then that wildly enchanting beast man. They both look gorgeous and seductive in different ways and I can’t help but feel insecure all over again.

When she started staying at my designated home, I have already prepared myself to be just civil and quietly obedient. She did touch me before whenever she visited Marahuyo and I willingly obliged but I never expected anything more than those few instances.

I believed these were nothing but routinary visits, a part of the deal that we had before. She visited the other two husbands as well so I would get a visit too obviously. She has always been fair and considerate like that.

Though I have killed all hope that I will be loved or treated as special like the others, I can’t help but still get excited about her visit. I cleaned my house, prepared some nice ingredients for cooking and even changed all the curtains and sheets. I also placed some fresh flowers that I personally planted in strategically placed vases so that the house will look pleasant and will be fresh-smelling.

After tiring myself all afternoon, I finally heard that most-awaited knock on my front door. I walked briskly towards the door but when I was just a few steps away from it, I stopped and started feeling nervous.

I breathed in deeply to force myself to calm down and then I opened the door gently. I just don’t want to look pathetic and too excited.

After letting my wife inside our home, I came back to the kitchen to busy myself with preparing and cooking our food for dinner. For some reason, she was looking at me in a weird manner. She does not look angry but it felt like she is gauging me or deciding what she will do with me afterwards.

For some reason, I felt nervous again. Is she perhaps thinking about kicking me out? Is she just going to take the babies once they are born then just and get rid of me?

Before I could overthink to even more negative things, I felt my wife’s arms snake around my waist from behind. Her palms rested on top of my stomach and then I felt her lips landing softly on the side of my neck.

It only took two actions or maybe even just one to make all my defenses crash. I felt my knees turn soft as I leaned back to her embrace.

My heartbeat suddenly became fast, my body heating up with the sudden intimacy. Damn! even that naughty thing between my legs is getting hard.

How did I even end up this perverted?! After all those years of staying pure and doing everything to avoid the effects of that damned full moon, I will just be this easily seduced?!

Before I even realized it, my voice has become hoarse and breathy as I begged her not to do these things to me in the middle of the kitchen. I heard her chuckle softly from behind me knowing that she easily won this round. I honestly felt annoyed but well, she is simply confident that she can get anything she wanted from her husbands anytime.

The rest was as expected as she did not spare me once we are in the bed. Though we did not do the deed since she did not want to make me uncomfortable, I was still ravaged by her in other ways until I lost consciousness over and over.

I couldn’t help but feel how much she wanted me and felt giddy inside. If this was a dream, I never wanted to wake up.

======== ======== ========

I returned back to the room after about half an hour with some nutritious porridge, fruits cut to bite-sized pieces and some sweet milk for my husband. I also brought some cookies and cold fruit juice for the other men in the room.

As I entered the room, all eyes were on me as if it couldn’t be even more obvious that I was the topic of their latest conversations after I left the room. I ignored their stares which were quite fiery as if I am some type of prey and just placed a small table in front of Reiss with all the food I prepared for him.

He obediently stopped chatting with the others, thanked me and them started eating. What followed was awkward silence and the occasional sound of chewing and slurping of drinks. As for me, I went near the babies and even before they could complain of hunger by crying, I already fed them milk so they will have uninterrupted sleep with their bellies round and full.

I can still feel the stares of all the men in the room burrowing into my skin but I just focused on finishing my task of feeding and lulling the babies back to sleep. Reiss quickly finished all his food as if trying to help me to get out of my weird situation.

When he finished his meal, he suddenly spoke, ”Wife, you agreed that I can name the children, right?” I nodded at him with a doting smile on my face.

His face flushed and he smiled happily. He then added, ”Our little boy will be ”Enoch” which means skilled and dedicated. Hopefully, he will follow my footsteps and my craft. As for our little girl, she will be ”Keziah” which means resilience and strength since I want her to be like you in the future, an amazing matriarch of her own family.”

I was surprised by his last statement as he was the first one to praise me directly for being a good mother and wife to my growing family. The others were also grateful through their actions but never this verbal.

I did not answer and simply placed the children back to their respective cribs. I then walked in big strides towards Reiss. I smiled and praised the names that he chose.

Without warning, I leaned in and placed a lingering kiss on his lips which turned him red as a beet in a matter of seconds. Well, there are indeed 11 other people in the room seeing our public display of affection. They are considered his family so he has all the right to be embarrassed.
