CHAPTER 585: CHAPTER 585 - AN AWKWARD RELATIONSHIP WITH REISS (PART 1)

After a few days, I had no choice but to bid a temporary goodbye to Vaelion whose face is full of reluctance to send me off to another husband’s side. He looked sad but he knew that Reiss also needed me now more than ever since he is about to give birth any time soon.

I do spend time with all husbands during the day, it is a matter of changing my arrangements a bit for the evenings. On that evening after I left Vaelion’s home, I moved towards Reiss home this time. I knocked on the door and it was opened almost immediately as if my husband was waiting for me to arrive all this time.

Reiss has always been a man of few words and whenever he speaks, he is quite soft spoken. He kept his head down submissively and I have noticed a long time ago that he does not speak unless I ask him a question directly.

He was way more than shy compared to other husbands contrary to how masculine his job and how outgoing he seemed when I first met him at his weaponsmith shop. What I felt from him though was more of a fear of me and subservience as a husband.

I remember him always pertaining to himself as a "vessel". He believed that he just got lucky that I chose him out of his bunch of friends and it is his duty to ensure that everything I want out of our relationship happens.

After opening the door and going to one side to give me space to walk inside, he closed the door gently behind me. He then walked forward and walked away towards the kitchen to continue cleaning up. I watched him quietly as he left.

The first time I entered his house was when he just picked it. I gave him freedom to design it however he wanted it to look and this is the first time I saw his final design.

I looked around his house and noticed that he preferred warm colors of dark brown, dark green and rusty colors. He added some simple furnishings and also fresh flowers here and there. He had all the essential furniture that his home should have but they were made in a way that they were in the modern term, "minimalist" style.

I quietly followed him to the kitchen and watched him busy himself on washing and cutting up some meat, vegetables and fruits then keeping them in the storage devices I gave each of them that keeps food indefinitely fresh. His kitchen is immaculately clean and the whole house smells of fresh flowers.

He might be quiet and looked busy but I can clearly hear the fast beating of his heart. I know that he had already noticed my arrival and the fact that I am quietly observing his every move. The whole thing has made him very nervous.

I started walking towards him and I hear his heartbeats getting even faster and louder. I smirked and suddenly hugged him from the back, snaking my arms around his waist. He gasped in surprise so I whispered to him, "You should relax. I could hear your heartbeats all the way to the door."

His whole body shivered and I felt his skin quickly heat up. His heartbeats slowed down and he leaned his weight a bit towards me.

He smelled amazing and I couldn’t help but place a soft peck on his neck. He shivered again and a soft moan escaped his lips. He then said softly, "Wife... No.. My body... has... always been sensitive to your touch. We are in the... kitchen."

I simply chuckled softly and teased him as I said, "Should we continue in the bedroom then?" He looked at me with wide eyes but he still nodded shyly as he looked down.

I know quite well what this husband of mine is complaining about. All of my men are very sensitive to my touch so it was never hard for me to get them in the mood. I guess it was one of the perks I got for this body to make it easier to convince my husbands to make babies with me.

I was actually teasing Reiss and I am not intending to go all the way with him with the children about to be born in a few days. He would need all the energy that he can save up to squeeze out the twins.

On the other hand, it does not mean that I will leave him hanging or deprive him of a release. Out of all the husbands currently in Tadhana, I believe that Reiss had the least amount of time with me. Our relationship started as a mutually beneficial exchange anyways and not the romantic type so he is still a bit awkward and shy with me even if he is already with my child.

Once we are inside the room, he immediately started removing his clothes and once he was naked, he laid down on his back on our bed. I just watched him closely but instead of pouncing on him like I kind of think is what he thinks is going to happen, I simply sat on one side of the bed.

He slowly sat up and inched towards me in confusion. He took my hand and leaned his face on it. Out of the blue, I asked, "Are you just being cooperative because you want to genuinely be with me or are you thinking that this is just part of your deal with me so I will continue to take care of you and your friends?"

His body stiffened and his grip on my hand tightened as he looked at me in surprise. His mouth opened but nothing came out.

I smiled at him and added, "You can tell me the truth. It is not like I am forcing you to do it again. You willingly did it with me to have a child but that doesn’t mean you like me. You can just give birth to the child. I will still take care of your needs but I won’t touch you again."
