Nico

Iclose the door behind me, and not silently either. It’s less of a hint and more of anopen the fucking door and I will end yousuggestion.

Annabelle looks from me to the door and back to me. It’s clear she wants to know what’s going on with Holter and Castor being shut in the other room. But it doesn’t matter. They can’t be her future. Either one of them. Holter will be part of it, long after I’m gone. Once her pod bed is full ofviromales, she’ll add him. Maybe, if the males in her pod aren’t jealous of him. She glances toward the main room again. Fucking hell, he’s my brother, one of my closest friends, someone I would trust my life with, and I’m jealous as hell of him right now.

But we’re naked, and I’m finding it hard to think. “I’ve got lots to say.”

“Are you okay?” She’s at my side. Her delicate hands are in my hair.

“I am now.” I’m not going to tell her how I’ve been locked in a room with no food and little water. A storage closet, really, as they prepared me for the journey to the chasm. Mostly making me as weak as possible so I don’t survive the many horrors of the chasm. Can’t have me coming back and being proclaimed the next mythical Poseidon. I smooth her hair back.

“And your father, he’s awake and...”

“He’s awake. He pushed me out fairly quickly.” Another white lie. I’m full of them today. I kiss her lightly and pull back.

“It’s so good that he’s awake. I know you’ve been worried about him.”

I look at her quizzically. What makes her think I’ve been worried about him? It’s not something I’ve given any thought to. Worry for him. I’ve had lots of thoughts of revenge on whoever has done this to him, of the friends and soldiers I know are loyal to me. I can have them take action when I’m gone.

“I know you were worried.” She repeats herself. “I could feel it.”

I take a breath and I realize she’s right. I was worried. But worry manifests differently in everyone. Some cook, some shop, some plan deaths. We’re all different.

“You’re smiling.”

“Yes,” I groan. “I’m relieved my father is going to be okay. But there are other things.” Things I’m not sure how to say. Things I thought of in the cold and dark. “I will return.”

“I know you will.” Her eyes are blue and clear.

“This lets me out on my own for a limited time. It’s just a ploy of the governors who think their domes will be upset with me being exiled. It’s their way of getting in their citizens’ good graces.”

“Political games aren’t something owned by the Dorian. I understand.”

“Good. When they next take me, that will be it. And I want you to know, I was wrong for taking you. And if you want, I think you should be able to leave. Go back to your people. I won’t stop you from leaving.” Not that I will have control for much longer. Not that I had control while I was in the hole they’d locked me in, flooding it and then draining with no notice. “I’m not easy to be with, Annabelle. I understand that. But you, you are easy to be with. You deserve whatever your heart wants. You arethe tide and the moon.”

“Stop.” She shakes her head at me. Her loose hair flies around her shoulders.

“I won’t stop.” I grip her chin and tilt it to me.

“No, Nico. In a way, you’re easier to love than I am.”

“We will have to agree to disagree about that. I’m sharp as coral on my edges. But you are like the sweetest of desserts.” I lick at her earlobe, kissing the tender spot behind it.

“Nico.” She tilts her head, her lips crashing against mine. I pull her leg up, and my finger finds where my cock wants to be. I swirl her clit with the pad of my thumb.

I take her mouth and enjoy her. Each time I’m with her, I’m slapped with how lucky I am to find a human so beautiful and brilliant with the gene to become a mermaid. The thought would have made my mother laugh. She knew there was an answer.

I have only a few hours left to be alone with her, here in what should be our pod home. Full of family and podlets. Full of safety and... love. She tastes of sweet apples. She’s on fire, her tongue battling with my own for control. Annabelle reaches to the back of my head, gripping my hair as she pulls me close.

Her supple ass in my hand, I pull her up until her pussy grinds against my cock. Sharp teeth scrape against my chest, and I growl in love with her. The tip of my cock teases at her pussy’s entrance. Annabelle’s legs wrap around me, her nails digging into my back.

“I love you, Annabelle.” I slide into her, stretching her, filling her. She contracts around me, and I’m reminded once again how lucky I am. There was no one else for me, never has been. She was made for me long before she became a mermaid. Long before I ever thought about challenging the governors.

Her hands move to my chest, gripping at my shirt. Annabelle’s hands move up and down the fabric, pressing me closer to her.

“I love you.” I thrust harder, faster. Our bodies slap together with wild abandon. Our hearts beat faster and then faster. I love this female. This wild mermaid of Glyden. Her back slams against the unpadded wall. I squeeze tightly, stopping my thrusts. Walking backward, I turn when my legs hit the pod bed, lowering her to the mattress below. Her legs hang over the side, and my feet are on the floor, my cock deeply seated in her.

“Nico.” She looks up at me. Her lips are red from my kisses, her eyes black with passion. Her legs stretch, pulling me deeper. She’s so tight, so wet. Sweat glistens on her body. I trail my fingers down her stomach to her clit.
