277 Why didn't you sleep in your room?
“Kyaa~” Rima let out a cute cry when Max suddenly lifted her and led her to the bed.
Flop!
He placed her on the bed, and just as he was about to move on top of her and kiss her delicious lips, Rima put her finger on his lips and stuttered, “M-Max, c-can we not do it today? I came over because I was feeling anxious.”
When Max heard her, he raised his brows, appearing slightly displeased. However, in reality, he wasn’t displeased but was embarrassed because he didn’t even try to ask for her reason for coming over before he decided to pounce on her.
However, he also wasn’t wrong to assume this because they had been ‘very intimate’ all day and night before they came to this city. So, it was natural that he thought she came with those intentions.
Rima became anxious when she saw his expression, thinking that she had displeased him and immediately said, “I-if you want to do it, we can.”
Seeing how flustered she became, Max smiled before he kissed her forehead and shook his head, “No, It’s okay, and I’m sorry for not asking you what you wanted.”
“No, don’t say that. I also want to do that, but I want to r-rest in your arms.” Rima hurriedly shook her head when she saw him apologising, and her face flushed red as she finished saying the last part of her sentence.
Flop!
When he saw her captivating expression, he was tempted to do it. However, he managed to control his urges and flopped to her side before he hugged her shapely body in his arms, “No, there is no need. We’ll just stay like this.”
Rima’s eyes gleamed with tender affection when she saw this. She didn’t say anything and snuggled deeply in his arms before closing her eyes with a contented expression.
On the other hand, Max struggled to control his fire of lust for a while when he felt her tempting body in his arms and smelt the intoxicating scent of her hair before he also fell asleep.
…
After sleeping for a long time, Max finally woke up.
“You are awake.” Rima’s sweet and tender voice sounded in his ears.
“Mmm.” Max nodded and brought her delicate body in his arms before giving her a peck on her forehead.
Rumble~
Suddenly his stomach rumbled. He frowned, “Hmm? Why do I feel so hungry?”
“Hehe…” Rima giggled when she heard his stomach rumbling and said, “It’s because you didn’t wake up to have dinner yesterday.”
“Huh? Is it already morning?” Max asked,
“Yes.” Rima nodded like an obedient child.
“Why didn’t you wake me up at dinner time?” He asked as he got up and stretched his body.
“W-well, it’s because I also didn’t wake up.” Rima scratched her head embarrassedly.
“You…” Max was speechless. However, he understood why she didn’t wake up. It was the same reason as him. She was exhausted from three days of intense mating sessions and two days’ journey. Moreover, the side effects of staying unconscious for many days hadn’t completely faded yet, which made her a bit lazy.
“Let’s freshen up and go out to have a meal,” Max said and walked toward the bathroom.
…
Knock! Knock!
After a while, Max and Rima were ready to go out when they heard someone knocking on the door.
“Big brother. Big sister. Come out. Let’s have breakfast. Everyone’s waiting for you.” Little Arya’s energetic voice sounded from outside the room.
“What perfect timing!” Max and Rima smiled and opened the door.
Whoosh!
Just as they stepped out, Little Arya ran toward Rima and hugged her hand as she asked, “Big sister, Big brother, did you sleep well?”
Rima smiled, “Yes, we did. How about you?”
“I also slept well. However, big sister, why didn’t you guys have dinner with us yesterday, and why didn’t you sleep in your room?” Little Arya asked curiously.
Rima became embarrassed when she heard this and pinched her cheek, “Why are you being so curious? Let’s go and have breakfast.”
“Awu… Big sister, don’t pinch my cheeks.” Little Arya cried out and caressed her adorable cheeks.
…
Under Arya’s lead, they arrived in a big hall where a big dining table was set up. Arya’s parents, grandparents, Arya’s cousin who travelled with them, Belen, Leticia and a few others were sitting around the table, happily talking to each other.
“Mom. I’ve brought Big brother and sister.” Little Arya yelled excitedly when they entered the dining hall.
Everyone stopped talking and turned to look toward them. Apart from the people Max and Rima had already met, others curiously sized them up.
“You are finally here. We’ve been waiting for you. Please take your seats.” Elena, the city lord, sitting in the head seat, smiled and gestured for the maids to bring out chairs for them.
Two maids came forward and brought out two chairs beside Belen and Leticia while Arya ran up to her mother and sat on her lap.
After they sat down while the maids served them food, Elena smiled lightly, “You already know us. Let me introduce others to you guys.” She then pointed to a male and female elf sitting beside Arya’s cousin, “They are Little Kuh’s parents, who are also my brother and sister-in-law. You can address them the way you address us.”
“Greetings, uncle and auntie.” Max and Rima politely greeted them.
Whoosh!
Little Kuh’s parents didn’t respond to their greetings; instead, they stood up.
“This…” When Max and Rima saw this, they knew what they intended to do.
Indeed, as they expected, the elf couple bowed deeply toward them and said, “Saviors, thank you for saving our son, Little Arya and our parents’ lives. We are very grateful to you. Please don’t hesitate to tell us if you need any help. As long as it’s something that we can do, we’ll try our best to fulfil your wishes.”
Max and Rima exchanged looks with Belen and Leticia, who had helpless expressions. Max nudged Rima, who nodded to him before she spoke up, “We just called you uncle and auntie, which means we treat you as our elders, and as our elders, you don’t have to bow to us.”
