Hunter
Elaine, my step-mom led us to the table where the rest of my family had gathered. Ryan, Hannah, Dad, Aunt Paige who was dad's younger sister, her annoying bratty six-year-old son Elliot and I did a double-take when I saw Will, my cousin seated beside Hannah. His father, my uncle who worked as a cop wasn't at the table so that meant dad and him were still cross, so as not to turn down the lunch invite he'd sent Will on his own. And I was glad he'd come alone for the lunch gathering.
I leaned into Blue's ear and whispered, "I'm going to sit beside you at the table. My family will probably ask you some questions. I'll tap your knee under the table if you say something that you shouldn't, okay?"
I noticed how Elaine was watching us with utter adoration, thinking I
HunterWhen Blue and I returned to the lunch table, we acted like we hadn't tried to eat each other by the fountain area just a moment ago. Instead, I picked up my mini-pizza and took a large bite off it, and reached out to get the Tuna Greek salad wrap. Elaine and dad knew what had happened of course; their faces told me they weren't oblivious. If anything, they appeared to be content with this new development, i.e: me getting serious with a woman in my life. The mermaid part, they didn't need to know.I noticed Elaine's plate filled with her usual vegan food. Not that I hated vegan food, it's just that I couldn't make a habit of eating it to save my life."Blue and Hunter were swapping saliva out there. I saw you." Elliot spoke to me with a mouthful of sausages.
BlueSunlight was streaming out of the curtains when I woke up the next morning, and my legs were tangled between Hunter's. I caressed his leg with mine, loving the feel of the soft hair on it. It was so wonderful, a man's body, so completely different and I was shocked how much I craved to be touched by his large masculine hands.I pulled the comforter away to marvel his bareback and noticed his boxer briefs having a tent that he called morning wood. The more he wanted to hide it, the more I wanted to see it. Hunter was fast asleep; would it be inappropriate if I slid my hand under the waistband of his boxers?I decided I couldn't risk doing it. I didn't want to see Hunter get furious and maybe just pack my bags and drop me back at Hannah's. I just needed to find out
BlueThis wasn't a dream. Adrian was right here in front of me. If it had been the Blue who'd left the underwater world, I would be running into his arms, thanking the gods for sending Adrian to recuse me from here. Right now, going back home was the last thing on my mind.In the course of three months, everything had changed.And for the better.He looked the same as I remembered, but he was wearing human clothes and his blonde hair reached his shoulders. He didn't have a smile on his face like he usually did, and I couldn't blame him for that. I'd left him and the others without saying a word; I hadn't even expressed my desire to not marry him. How it must have felt, to think that you'd marry your best friend all yo
HunterLeslie was barking and growling non-stop when he saw Adrian walk inside the apartment. He literally bared his teeth and growled which was so unusual for Les. He was the friendliest dog I knew, never making a big fuss over the guests. I'd always wondered if Les would casually hand my wallet over to a burglar if he brought his favorite snacks."Leslie...Adrian is my friend." Blue cooed as she kneeled down to pet him.The stupid dog padded over to brush his cute little wet nose at Blue. She looked at Adrian. "Isn't he just so cute?""Yeah," Adrian replied.He joined Blue on the floor; his hand raised towards the animal, an open invitation to the dog growling at h
Hunter I pinned her with an incredulous stare. Blue did not just ask me to marry her! I cupped her face in both of my hands, "Do you realize what you're asking me?" She nodded earnestly, "Yes. I would love to marry you if you wish to marry me, that is." I chuckled, "If you're making this decision just because you think my life is in danger, then please don't. I'm not sure if I'm even marriage material. I would hate to disappoint you." "You wouldn't be disappointing me." She said. "Please understand that it's the only way that my family cannot force me to go back to my world. If I take you as my husband, it would be a sin, I can't deny it. Humans and mer
HunterFred and Hannah helped me choose a wedding ring for Blue. It was a round solitaire diamond stud in a platinum ring, a little out of my budget but looked really beautiful. My bank account was almost empty, but it was worth it. Blue deserved this and so much more. I kind of wished I had enough money to move into a bigger house where there was a lawn, a fence, a room for when Blue and I decided to have kids.I dreamed of it, about having my own little family.I'd never thought this was possible in my wildest dreams, that I'd find a woman who'd love me enough to want to marry me.The phone in my pocket began buzzing. It was from an unknown number. I pressed to answer.
Hunter The wedding was being held at my family residence garden. The altar was decorated with flowers and looked so beautiful that I started to wonder if I'd teleported into heaven all of a sudden. The trees posed as a good shelter from the beaming sunlight, lamps suspended from the branches.The weather seemed perfect and gave the place a romantic vibe.Elaine had gone out of her way to give it a chic and an elegant look. She loved Pinterest and I had no doubt she'd copied some ideas from it.People had already taken their seats, we'd decided to keep the ceremony private even though my step-mother wanted to do something extraordinary like a Disney themed wedding or something equally o
BlueIt was time.Time for me to finally take the marriage vows with Hunter.An hour ago when Adrian brought my brother, Apollo to into my room. I was shocked and I hadn't known what to say. We'd stared at each other for so long, I'd started to wonder if it was a dream.Without thinking I'd ran into his arms and sobbed into his chest. It's during that time I realized how much I'd missed my family. To have my brother here on my wedding day was making me even more emotional.And then a new fear had crept into my mind.What if he forced me to leave with him?
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
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
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
