HUNTER
“Give that back to me!”
“It’s mine! Let it go! Daddy gave me that doll!”
“It’s not yours, Freya!” Artemis screeched at the top of her lungs, as usual. She loved testing her vocal cords three sixty-five days. My girl could have been an opera singer.
“You’re a liar!” Freya screamed back. “Moooommmyyyy!!!”
Blue looked at the girls, then turned her attention towards the front and increased the volume of the stereo. “Such a nice song this is.”
“You’re going to break the doll!” Freya screamed. “Daddy, tell her it’s mine.”
Blue turned the notch up of the volume until the car was vibrating with the ear-splitting sound. “I love this song.” She smiled at me, humming as if the two girls in the backseat weren’t wrestling and yanking at each other's hair.
Fights between Arte
HunterI pushed my back against the rock, pressing her breasts to my chest. Her hands were tangled into my hair, her lips insistent over mine. Things were steering below and I was already rock hard.Suddenly Blue sat up and began loosening the knot on her nightgown.“Sweetheart, we’re in the open.” I pointed out to her.“There’s no one here, and the kids are asleep. They won’t come outside.” She whispered.“Blue we should...” I began protesting but it was too late.She’d stripped off her nightie, and I watched mesmerized as her round breasts jiggled free. She was completely naked, with no underwear. I swore under my breath. She smiled mischievously at me, pushing her blue hair away from her face, and came to straddle on my lap.You would be fucking stupid to tell your beautiful wife to stop stripping.Blue began stroking herself against the fabric that
BLUEWas marriage the only think a mermaid was supposed to do when she grew up? I asked myself that as I began getting ready for the big day ahead. My friends Coral and Oceana were braiding my hair and fixing it with sea shells. Since my hair was the longest among my friends, they loved braiding it. I looked at my appearance in the mirror and realized how beautiful the hairstyle had turned out to be.“You look like a princess Blue!” Coral complimented me. “I’m sure Adrian will fall head over heels in love with you.”I laughed.Today was supposed to be a big day. I was going to be engaged to my best friend, Adrian. He and I had been friends since childhood and everyone used to tease us back then about how cute we looked together. The teasing had gotten serious during high school when Adrian confessed his feelings to me. My parents and his were actually thrilled about us getting married. Me? not, so much.
HUNTERFirst day of college and my fists were already bruised. My baggage out of the dorms before I could say a word. And now I was pretty much left out to fend for myself because my father wouldn’t help me.How easier life would have been if he had agreed to pay rent for a small studio apartment and paid for the gas for my car as well? But instead, daddy dearest had blocked my credit cards, confiscated my car keys, (I drove a Red Maserati sports car so that hurt like bitch) and if that wasn’t enough, kicked me out of the mansion and now I was officially kicked out of the dorms too.That left me with renting a little apartment the size of a matchbox in a danky little neighborhood where you could hear the constant barks of the stray dogs and the police sirens because this place looked like a hell-hole.Maybe I was complaining too damn much but what else did you expect to do when you’d fallen from grace.There
BLUEWhen I opened my eyes, I realized I was in a completely different place.Where was I?Suddenly, it came back to me in flashes. Coral, Oceana, my home, the sea and Adrian. I’d swam away from them and then some mean humans had caught me in a fishnet. I’d pretended to be dead and that’s why they’d left me on the shore.I knew I was on human land. I shuddered and hugged myself as a sob raked my chest as I cried. I touched my cheek, this was the second time I was feeling the wetness of the tears on my cheeks. I was lying on something soft, a bed. That’s what it was and a blanket covered me. I’d read things about the human life and it had always fascinated me. Now all I wanted to do was to go back into the ocean; my home.A small brown creature stared at me from the window. It looked fluffy and cute. His big eyes stared, and he padded towards me on fours. I was scared at first so I pushed ba
BLUE I hated the way Hunter was looking at me, like I was crazy. He touched my ankles and pressed it gently. “Does it hurt here?” “No.” I shook my head. He touched some other part of my leg, his expressions concerned. “Can you talk about what happened at the beach?” “I don’t remember anything.” I admitted. “Where do you live?” “I live in the west side of the Ocean near the Palm Island. I was supposed to get engaged with my best friend but I didn’t want that to happen so I swam away and...and I realized I’d swam into the deepest end. I thought a shark was chasing me so I swam harder and then...” I knew I was getting hysterical, I still continued. “Some fishermen caught me in their net.” “Uh-huh.” That’s all Hunter said. He didn’t believe me! I could tell by his expressions. I didn’t even expect humans to understand me either, but it still hurt my feelings. “Let’s he
HunterWhen I informed Blue that I was taking her back to her home, she was excited and sat right up on the bed, rubbing her eyes. She was ready to go. Leslie continued to bark as if he has a premonition that Blue wasn’t coming back home once she left.Stupid dog. He got attached to every person that walked into the house but Blue was the first that he’d taken a liking to in such a short time.She smiled at him lovingly and ruffled his ears. “He loves you a lot.”I nodded. “Yeah, I can see that.”She shook her head. “I can feel it, and Les told me that himself. He loves you and cares for you, but he just wishes you didn’t date bitches.”I stared at her incredulously. “What?”“He said all the girls you dated before were lying bitches.”I stared at Leslie, looking at me with gooey eyes, his pink tongue lolling out.How could Blue
Hunter The entire ride back to my apartment was silent. Blue continued to look out of the window. Even though she'd stopped crying, her expressions were a dead giveaway that something was wrong. She'd slipped on my t-shirt from before, her hands joined in her lap. When we came back to my apartment, Blue settled down on my bed and continued to stare into space. Leslie was rolling on the floor with joy, unable to contain his happiness on the return of his new best friend.My eyes flicked to the t-shirt she was wearing. The neckline was so big on her that it slipped down from the right shoulder showing off a creamy complexion. With her beautiful naturally dried aqua hair, she looked effortlessly pretty. She was so perfect that I wanted her to keep that t-shirt on forever.
HunterDrink! Drink! Drink!"The cheer of the people in the club continued as I took the small glass of tequila and downed it."Drink! Drink! Drink!""Whoooo! Hunter! You can do it!" Someone else cheered as I downed my fourth glass. I sneaked a glance at Howie, the nerd from the English class that had foolishly come to the party without realizing that he was going to be the center of all their attention.I downed the final glass and another roar of cheer pierced through the club. I couldn't even see straight, much less walk in a straight line.I was so screwed.

Please note* The first half of this chapter is a prequel of the events that took place in the book. * * * Blue I often swam to the shore late at nights when I knew no humans were going to be there. I liked to sit by the rocks and stare at the stars in the sky. Sometimes, I liked to roll in the sand and collect sea-shells to make necklaces and today was no different.When the lights in the beach houses went out, I swam to the shore towards my favorite spot on the rocks. I made sure no human was there just like my brother Apollo told me to and sat down on the nearest rock. Apollo was my most favorite out of all my other siblings because he understood me on a different level. While I sneaked on the beach some nights, Apollo would cover for me and tell everyone that I was meeting my friend Oceana. If it weren’t for him, my family would never allow me this alone time on the beach under the st
Three Years LaterHunterI never thought it was possible for a man to have so much happiness in life, and I definitely didn't think it could be me.Three years ago when Blue went into labor, I'd panicked because it was nothing like I'd ever witnessed or imagined. The pain that she was going through seemed unbearable and I spent the rest of the time cursing myself and swearing to never get my dick anywhere near her. I regretted even getting her pregnant.I could still remember how before being wheeled into the hospital room, she'd assured me everything would be okay with a confident smile on her face and for a minute there I thought I wouldn't see her smiling.
HunterI pressed my lips to hers; I angled Blue's face in such a way that I could properly kiss her. Devour her mouth, I did. Seconds later she was moaning and squirming under my onslaught. Kissing her was hard since her bulging stomach came between us.My tongue ran a path from her ear down to her collarbone. She closed her eyes, sighing as I licked and nibbled her.I held her face leveled with mine, "You." I breathed. "You tortured me for months just because you were scared that something would happen to me again? Well, guess what? That's life and you can't do anything about it.""I'm sorry...Hunter..." her voice seemed pained and before she could mumble more apologizes I brought her mouth down to mine again, drinki
Blue "Be honest with me, Blue. What is our future together?" Adrian asked me a few days after I'd met Hunter in the supermarket.I was stirring a pot; preparing stew for dinner when his question caught me off-guard. I looked straight at him. "What do you mean our future?"Adrian's emerald eyes cut through me, and there was a smug expression plastered on his face which I hated. "How long are we going to play house? Aren't you going to...what do the humans call it...ah, yes, divorce your husband?"I shot him a look. "I would never divorce Hunter. I thought I told you that before and as far as our future is concerned, we've always been friends and that will continue to be."
HunterI had never experienced what a real heartbreak felt like until now; the heartache, it was unbearable. Blue had literally reached inside my chest, ripped out my heart and crushed it with bare hands.I almost regretted going after her like that. I should have just let it go. She had clearly told me she didn't want me, what else did I need to prove?I literally drove around without paying attention to where I was going. Instead of going to my house, I drove to my father's because I didn't trust myself to be alone at that moment. I was desperate and my toxic imagination was driving me insane.I parked the car in the parking space and cut the engine.I clenched and
Blue Hunter held out the box of Cereal towards me but I continued to stare at him. He looked much more built than before, his shoulders were broad and I could see the hard outline of his chest as it rose and fell. His golden-brown hair used to be shorter, the curls had grown out of control and he had a bit of stubble.My stomach took a flight of butterflies and I felt like my legs were going to give up.I missed him. So much."I won't hurt you." He assured me. "I just want to talk."And I couldn't believe that he was telling me the truth. Contrary to what he'd said, Hunter seemed to have every intention of hurting me.
Hunter Days turned to weeks. And I'd spent about two months looking like a mess. Painting and selling them to interested clients, I was also doing commissioned work. If I wasn't painting, I was nursing a bottle of Jack Daniels. Lately, Jack had become best friends with me; he helped numb the confusion and the pain.It was sad, almost too funny the irony that my mother hadn't wanted me even before I was out of her womb, and my wife had clearly deserted me for reasons that I was still searching for to this day. Not that I had any mommy issues, but it was a no-brainer that I was basically unwanted.It was pathetic. My life as I was living right now, feeling sorry for myself that I was unlovable. The pity-party needed to stop. I just didn't know how. Some of my f
