The Merman, My Man Chapter 204: A Weird Encounter in the Casino
Dicken did not answer me, but his arms tightened over my waist while his lips slid down to my neck. He nestled my neck from behind the mask, inhaling my scent deeply. He then put a webbed claw over my head, petting me like one would a child, before tucking the hair that was covering my forehead behind my ear.“Dicken…” I looked longingly into his enrapturing gaze, and reached out to touch his cheek when a woman shrieked, “Hey, what are you doing?!”I flinched in surprise and turned to find a girl, holding a bucket of laundry on the shore. She had probably come down for a wash, but was startled by Dicken and me.I was left stammering awkwardly, unsure of how to explain what was going on right then, just as I heard a loud splash behind me—Dicken had dived into the water, and was gone without a trace before I could catch him.“Where are you going?!” I was more angry than surprised, and slammed at the iron gate furiously, but my response was the banging and the splashing in the night
The Merman, My Man Chapter 205: The Crystal Shows Up Again
I slipped my hands into my trouser pockets as if it was natural, and hunched my back to pretend to be a gambling addict even as I looked around for Dicken. However, I was going up the second floor when I saw a crewmate from the Seeker. It was Luna—a Russian girl with whom I was quite close to, and she appeared to be in panic even as she tried to hide from someone, and was hurrying down the stairs. I realized immediately that this was the casino where David had come to make his deal, and a foreboding sensation grew in my head when I saw how flustered Luna was. I rushed up to her and grabbed her by her wrist, and clasped my hand over her mouth before she could scream, all while dragging her to the dark corner behind the stairs. “Calm down, Luna—it’s me. What happened?” I asked with a hushed voice.“T-The mafia…” Luna’s shoulders were shaking and her breaths were ragged even as she cried, “They cut off one of David’s hands!”“What?!” I was dumbfounded. Luna’s tears began to roll d
The Merman, My Man Chapter 206: Killer and Lover
“You have to trust me, Mr. Mora—I would never dare to cross you. I honestly believe that it’s a gemstone, and just look at how mystical it is: it would definitely fetch millions even if it wasn’t a gem,” David explained through grinding teeth. “I salvaged it from a German shipwreck that was marked with the Nazis’ emblem, and you should know the treasures they have. Moreover, it was locked in a safe—why would it be protected so well if it’s worth nothing? Mr. Mora, I swear that something valuable must be inside.”“Oh, my poor David—I’m just not interested in your explorer’s crap. All I care about is whether this thing could get me more weed and heroin, but now I’m starting to think you and your paltry tricks are costing us too much.”Mora slammed his hand furiously on the table then, and a man beside them immediately seized David by the stump that was once his wrist, prompting a scream from David. I felt my body turn numb and couldn’t help turning away, even as I told myself that this
The Merman, My Man Chapter 207: Merman Transfiguration
“Oh… Lover, huh?” I mumbled hoarsely, feeling as if something was suddenly stuck in my throat.Luna noticed that I was behaving weirdly, and asked, “What’s wrong, Linda?”“N-Nothing. It seems David will be fine for a while—we’ve gotten lucky this time.” I rubbed my nose even as I changed the subject.In the room, Miya’s people entered and picked up the shattered crystal on the table, while Dicken stood coldly and dutifully behind Miya as her bodyguard. The dim light hid his facial expression from everyone else, but I could feel him staring closely at the shattered crystal in despair and misery.His bloodline was extremely vital for what few surviving merfolk right now, and as their leader, he had a duty to make his race flourish. I was convinced that, given his character, he would kill every person in the room if he wanted to.And yet, he was maintaining an eerie calmness, standing upright in a corner like a sculpture—that is, until Miya approached him, leaned in, and said somethi
The Merman, My Man Chapter 208: The Oversized Cat and The Sashimi
“It’s very unstable, Linda. It’s turning back into a tail again—I need a place to hide.” Dicken watched me, even as he spoke quietly in Mermish that I could understand perfectly.I did a double take as I watched him. Those were the first words I had heard from him after so many years. At once familiar and unknown, his voice left my whole body trembling.Dicken patted my hand with his leather-gloved hand then, and it soon slithered down to my nose and then my lips as he spoke raspily, “Do you still fear me now?”Nonetheless, I said nothing and simply grabbed his mask, firmly tearing off his face. It did not change despite his transfiguration: pale, handsome, and with pronounced facial bones. However, the upper tip of his ears resembled plant shoots slowly growing out of the ground, and while such an appearance could be a little frightening to other humans, I found it absolutely adorable, even funny. I couldn’t help giggling then, and tugged at his ears as if playing with a big dog.
The Merman, My Man Chapter 209:The Consequences of Teasing the Leader
I sniffed, inhaling the strong sweet scent deep within my lungs even as the repressed sensation of disappointment swelled over my chest, and I felt bitter once again.Still, I forced myself to smile despite my pain as another thought occupied my head: I was no more important than a descendant to Dicken, just like the crystals he had spread across various lands. Though he searched for me and protected me, he did all that to protect his blood which flows in my body—I am one of his few descendants, and the most disobedient at that.That being said, I also wondered what reason there was for me to be dissatisfied, and I would have been long dead as a child if not for Dicken.And as the merfolk’s leader, his duty was to protect his people and to ensure the perpetuity of the next generation.Fuck! Why would my thoughts keep drifting away? What had it to do with me…“Linda.”Dicken suddenly called me, interrupting my thoughts. Turning his head so that his ear brushed against my cheek, he
The Merman, My Man Chapter 210: A Difficult Question
My heart was pounding as my breathing turned ragged, but I worked hard to calm myself. “Hey, Dicken—why don’t we talk about it? I want to know what I mean to you… Am I just a container for your genes to propagate your bloodline?”My heart clenched unwittingly even as I said those words, as if I was forcing myself to face a cruel truth. The smile was gone from Dicken’s face too, and he took a long look at my eyes, as if seriously considering the question.Dicken had been the king of the merfolk for a long time, and had lived through countless battles and slaughters in his long life. Still, I didn’t think that such a simple question would stump him.Sentiment, love, bonds—those were all emotions unique to humans, but would merfolk be able to feel the same as humans?Even if I had been with him before, I cannot use the rationale of a biologist to decide on such cross-species relationships. Moreover, my EQ was not at all high and I used to be a nerd who only knew about her own research
The Merman, My Man Chapter 211: I Love You
“That was why I had deliberately allowed myself to be caught, and I realized that you were looking at me as if I was a stranger. I was very jealous at the time, Linda, and had almost lost my sanity because of it, wanting nothing less than to make you completely mine in my frenzy. I was in heat, and yet you actually had the guts to approach me in the middle of me, teasing me so seductively—how could I stop myself from devouring you? I started to scheme through the days and night to defile you, yearning that you were an immature juvenile. That was why I started to use your curiosity against you…”At those words, Dicken’s lips curled up evilly and his tongue poked out to lick it, as if he was feeling smug about his perfect plan.“You bastard…” I couldn’t help pulling his ear, only for him to pin it down over my head. His tongue slithered from my chin to my cheek as he smooched me there firmly, keeping his lips close to my skin even as he breathed, “There was even less chance of me letti
