Transmigrated Into a Tribal World: My Alien Husbands Spoil Me Too Much

Chapter 70: Just A Massage

Maeve immediately lowered her gaze and crossed her arms over her chest as soon as she realized what had happened.

"I-I didn’t even notice!" she stammered, her cheeks turning bright red. "Ugh... it’s getting worse every day."

Axan swallowed hard before speaking. "That’s normal. I’ve seen pregnant women leak like that before."

Maeve narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously. "Why were you looking at other women’s breasts?"

Axan’s eyes widened slightly. It was clear she had completely misunderstood him.

"What?" His eyes widened. "No, it’s not like that." He quickly looked away, suddenly feeling awkward. "I just happened to notice it. I wasn’t staring."

Maeve kept looking at him for another second before letting out a small huff. "I’ll believe you."

To be honest, she didn’t even understand why she had suddenly become so jealous.

This must be the baby’s fault again!

[Host, it’s probably just you!] Pinky protested. [Oh, poor baby. Your mommy keeps blaming you for everything!]

Maeve nearly choked on her own saliva. ’Hey! I’m not blaming my baby for everything!’

Before Pinky could argue any further, Axan suddenly said something that almost made Maeve’s brain stop working. "Do you want me to... help you massage them?"

He kept glancing to the side, but every now and then, his eyes drifted back toward her chest before he quickly looked away again, as though he didn’t know where he was supposed to look.

Maeve’s face turned bright red. "W-What?!"

Axan stiffened. "I-I only meant..." He cleared his throat awkwardly. "You said they hurt. I know you have to let the milk come out to ease the soreness. I’ve seen other pregnant women go through the same thing... and I also happened to see you doing it the other day."

Maeve fell silent for a moment because Axan usually looked so calm, cold, and unreadable. Yet now, he was standing in front of her with a face so red that it looked like he might explode at any second.

For some reason, seeing him this flustered made Maeve worry more than feel embarrassed.

"D-Didn’t you say you wanted to wait until we got married?" she asked softly.

She lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze. She looked shy, but deep down, she couldn’t deny that she had been looking forward to the day she could feel Axan’s touch.

"A massage is fine," Axan replied, though it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself than her.

After all, he had been the one who scolded Cerus for breaking their tribe’s rules. According to both Cerus and Ikarus, Axan was the strictest of the three when it came to following them.

That was why Maeve was surprised when the man who never bent the rules was now trying to find a loophole so he could take care of his mate or maybe... he just wanted to touch her.

"Just a massage?" Maeve asked again.

Axan nodded without hesitation. "Just a massage," he repeated. "I only want to help you feel better. Nothing more."

Maeve gently nudged the small pebble at her feet before giving a shy nod.

"Alright, then..." she said softly. "How about... we go back to my hut?"

===

Meanwhile Ikarus and Cerus were busy taking care of the settlement, Axan followed Maeve to her hut.

His mind couldn’t stop replaying what had happened earlier. The thought of helping her by gently massaging her aching breasts kept flashing through his head, making his heart beat faster with every step.

However, just as he was about to step inside, he suddenly hesitated. He looked as though he was struggling with himself.

Part of him wanted to go inside, but the other part kept reminding him of the promise he had made to wait until they were married.

For perhaps the first time in his life, Axan found himself caught between his feelings and the rules he had always followed without question.

[Side Mission Triggered!]

[Side Mission: Break the Rule-Follower Freak!]

[Description: Make Axan stop being so obsessed with following the rules when it comes to you.]

[Conditions: Mating is not required. Any sexual act will count.]

[Rewards:

2,500 Coins

3x Energy Potions for Mating]

The moment Maeve saw the Energy Potions, her eyes immediately lit up. After all, those potions had put her in debt before. Getting three of them for free felt like hitting the jackpot.

"Why do you look so hesitant?" Maeve finally asked. "You’re only going to help massage me. You’re not planning to do anything more than that... right?"

Her question finally snapped him back to reality. He realized that if he was hesitating this much, it meant a part of him wanted to do something that would cross the line.

That was why Axan finally made up his mind by stepping into the hut. "Yes," he said firmly. "Just a massage."

Even after saying it out loud, staying calm proved much harder than he expected.

As Maeve slipped out of her dress and sat down with her back facing him so he could help her more easily, Axan’s heartbeat grew faster, and he had to remind himself over and over again why he had come here in the first place.

"How... how do I do it?" Axan asked in a low voice.

On the other hand, although Maeve was just as embarrassed, she handled it better than he did. After all, she had already shared intimate moments with Ikarus and Cerus before. Compared to Axan, who looked ready to run away at any second, she was much calmer.

Without saying a word, she gently reached for his hand and guided it toward herself.

"Just be gentle," she said softly. "Start here..." She carefully placed his hand on the outer curve of her breast. "Massage in small circles, slowly working your way toward the areola and then..."

Maeve paused for a moment when she realized her nipples had already hardened from the simple touch of his hand against her skin.

"And then?" Axan asked. He swallowed hard as he looked down at her from above.

Maeve bit her lower lip before continuing. "And then... you can gently press around my areola."
