I didn’t dare to look Dicken in the eyes. So, I simply gulped and mumbled a few words. “I’m going to look for Jack and the others.” I broke free from his embrace and wanted to stand up. But at that moment, the pain in my chest flared up again, causing me to hiss. I drew a deep breath, and Dicken grabbed both my hands. I looked at him and saw that he had pursed his lips. He then leaned forward and covered my lips with his. He kissed hard. So hard that it didn’t even count as a kiss. He was sucking so hard on my lips and tongue like he wanted to swallow them. His sharp teeth scraped my mouth as if to warn me. I had no space to move my tongue as he twirled his tongue with mine. My tongue could only follow his lead as I could not withstand his assault. Our saliva began to drip from where our lips met. His claw then slid down my back to my hips as he started to unfasten my pants. He pushed his tail forward and forcefully squeezed it between my legs to part them. All of this while hi
Dicken’s long tail curled itself around my calf, and he placed his arm under my neck. He pushed me into him like he wanted to prevent me from moving too much like I was before. But being in this intimate position made me feel awkward and uneasy because I didn’t know when Dicken’s rut would happen again. I was in the cave alone with him, and he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with me. Without a better plan in mind, I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep. Dicken seemed to have no intentions of doing anything to me. His breathing was steady, and his chest was rising and falling in a steady rhythm. His breaths were like a sea breeze blowing onto my hair, while his long and sturdy claws were around my shoulder. We looked like an intimate couple. This merman was honestly so simple-minded. I gave in to the temptation to peek at him and saw that his eyes were closed. Several water beads were resting on his lashes while the bridge of his nose was high and chiseled. He
‘Damn this prick!’ I cursed at Dicken in my mind before closing my eyes and quickly licked his jowl. But Dicken raised his claw to my lips and lightly traced around them. His eyes were sensual and full of teasing. His thirst for more was apparent. I had a feeling that he wanted me to lick his finger as he did before. But if he wanted me to lick his entire body before getting any food, I would probably die of hunger first. “Hey! Stop asking for so much!” I huffed as I shouted at him, but Dicken started to laugh when he saw my reaction. He swiftly grabbed my wrist then extended his tongue to lick my fingers. His actions made me freeze in embarrassment as my face started to grow red and hot. I looked at him dumbfounded as he drenched my fingers from his aggressive licking. Then, he looked into my eyes, bounced up, and leaped out of the cave. He had already disappeared before I could even react. I could only hear the sound of a splash coming from somewhere outside of the cave.
To my surprise, the things in this storage space were all items made by humans. It was messy, but it had almost everything. There were canned spices, jewelry, and decorative pieces made of ivory. There was even wine and beer. These were all items commonly shipped via the sea. Other than that, there were items widely used in voyages, and most of them seem aged, such as the nautical map made of sheepskin, a looking glass made in the 18th century, and a steering wheel that looked like it was detached by brute force. ‘Oh my goodness!’ I was stunned by these antique items when I spotted a worn and tattered multi-language dictionary. I now realized why Dicken could speak English and how he could pick up Japanese so quickly. ‘He must be a merman who’s fond of learning…’ I flipped the dictionary open and found several pen marks on many phrases. They must have been made by the previous owner of the dictionary. I couldn’t tell which language many of the words belonged to due to the intelligi
I looked down stiffly and realized that the wound had reopened after my struggle earlier. Fresh blood had already seeped through my clothes. I was so frantic that I didn’t even realize this had happened. Dicken popped open my collar and licked at the wound until it was no longer bleeding. Then, he licked away all the droplets of blood that had rolled down from my injury. As he did so, he bit at the buttons one by one to unfasten them, and it wasn’t long until my upper body was totally exposed to him.I immediately took a few steps backward and pulled at his ears with both of my hands to prevent his tongue from wandering lower. “You don’t need to lick anymore. I feel much better now! I’m not lying!” ‘Damn it. I can’t guarantee that I will not fall for him if this goes on further…’ I gritted my teeth as goosebumps raised on the areas he licked. But my words of rejection did nothing to stop him. He just continued licking like he didn’t hear a word I had said. His wet ears slipped out
‘What are they waiting for?’ I looked toward the sea curiously as I saw them popping their heads out of the water one by one. I immediately realized that they were all mermen. They revealed their broad chests and tilted their heads upward as they looked toward Dicken and me. Dicken showed himself through the cave entrance before extending an arm to pull me into him. With his arm around my waist, he looked down on the mermen below and arrogantly made a low neigh. Although the pitch wasn’t high, it certainly sounded like a horn signifying the start of a battle. I was stunned as the mermen below were ecstatic like they heard a piece of good news. They jumped toward the moon across the night sky, leaving sparkly water trails behind them. They made excited and high-pitched neighs mixed with the sound of waves, forming their own symphony. My excitement had also built up with theirs. ‘Is this the song of merpeople that was spoken about in legends?’ I must admit that the song did not
It was evident that the mermen were all scared of Dicken as he was their mighty alpha. But their eyes were full of craving and hunger like they could jump up to crush my bones and devour my body in any second. ‘This isn’t real hunger. It’s just their desire to violate me!’ ‘Oh my god!’ I gulped in fear as I thought about what might happen to me if I had slipped down. The fear grew and took over my nerves, causing my body to tremble. ‘The way they’re looking at me was no different from how Dicken looked at me back in the research room…’ I clenched my fists as my palm was slick with cold sweat. I couldn’t help but glance at Dicken, who was behind me, and I was immediately met with his glinting and fierce eyes. Beads of sweat dotted his face as veins were visible on his neck. His eyes were also slowly becoming bloodshot. He looked like a sex addict in a state of excitement. ‘F*ck! I am definitely familiar with the state he is in!’I almost forgot that although this was a shoc
Dicken lifted his head along with my movement, and in a split second, his leps were plastered onto mine. I held my breath and looked directly into his eyes. His deep blue eyes seemed to have a passionate fire burning within, while bloody vessels decorated the whites of his eyes. He was using every ounce of his consciousness to resist his primitive desire. I was stunned, but I was also relieved. Although Dicken was in a rut, he wasn’t acting the same way he did back in the research room. He could control himself now, and he could comprehend what I said. Dicken looked at the merpeople below the cave, then cushioned my neck to raise my head higher. His moist but warm lips brushed against mine as he said, “Then…you will…be…in danger.” ‘What does Dicken mean? What does he want me to prove?’ I pondered for a while before I realized what he meant. Dicken meant that he wanted to prove that I belonged to him to his clan. Otherwise, I would be involved in their fight to obtain me as thei
Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive
In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t
That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as
In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in
I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd
“Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh
My eyes welled with tears and my mind went dizzy, while a scorching jet of water shot into my body. That was when I saw a blue light moving downwards from Dicken’s chest to where we were connected, and as innumerable jolts struck all over my body, my heart clenched in the intensive stimulation.For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe as all consciousness and emotions seemed to fuse together, rushing towards the wall that was blocking my memories…Then, the wall shattered. “Linda… Linda…”The familiar voice could be heard as if from the distant horizon, though it soon became clear and ultimately echoed beside my ears, and there was no doubt that he was beside me.“Dicken?” I opened my eyes and found my dear leader. It was as if I had met him once more after a slumber that lasted centuries, and yet I felt him beside me all along, and the memory of him taking this body was extremely distinct.I was at once confused and mystified as the memories from two different dimensions slow
“Damn it, you crazy animal…” I cried and moaned, my legs that were kicking Dicken’s shoulder caught by him with ease. At the same time, his body continued to press down on me from above like a hill, holding my body firmly down.Dicken’s hoarse voice spoke beside me then. “Don’t move, Linda, or I won’t be able to resist violating you even more violently—you have no idea how delicious you are…”I froze, my breath cut off at his words even as his tongue slithered into my ear and kicked it as if teasing, while his webbed paw groped my breast. A paralyzing sensation that felt electric spread all over my body, slowly easing the bursting pain of being entered. Soon, a familiar yet irresistible exhilaration occupied my senses, and even as I kept gulping, my own spit was welling out the corner of my mouth.Curious, Dicken stared at the edge of my lips and extended his tongue to lick it, as if it were the tastiest raindrops in existence. At the same time, I could feel him entering several inc
“Don’t be scared…”As Dicken inhaled deeply over my nape, his breathing became heavy and choppy. He twitched as he snuggled up against my back, and I could feel his humongous member flapping against my buttocks, along with its scorching heat. How could I not be scared by the prospect of that thing penetrating me?!I clenched my fist and punched at his tail which was darting between my legs, but he easily grabbed my wrist and suddenly turned around, pinning me beneath himself while his tail slithered between my legs and lifted my buttocks. Losing my balance, I fell sprawled over the reef, and as he gripped my hands to keep them behind myself, tears rolled out of the corner of my eye by instinct as lust and fear suddenly erupted. “No, I’m scared, Dicken… No, you’ll hurt me…”Dicken ignored my plea for mercy, however, and kept leaning on me as he gnawed my shoulder, as if to devour me by one tiny bite after another. The tenderness and adoration he’d shown towards me just now was gone,
