I thought to myself, ‘Ah, this feels like a natural cold compress. And the coolness it’s transmitting to me feels so gentle.’ Even though our bodies were plastered tightly against each other, my clothes, dampened by sweat, were in the way. My hands couldn’t help but reach down and start tearing them away. The unknown person seemed to have understood what I was trying to do. He reached out his cool hands towards the hem of my shirt and lifted it. He tore my shirt away in a swift but rough motion and pulled my pants down. I was finally fully naked and in the embrace of this figure whose skin exuded coolness. Every cell in my body rejoiced as they welcomed the refreshing feeling, and the restless torment of hunger for coolness was relieved slowly but surely. It felt so gratifying that I could’ve fallen asleep at any moment. But the stiff object was still poking against my abdomen. That was the main thing preventing me from falling asleep. So, I squirmed and wriggled to display m
By the time I could react, the object enclosed within his scales had emerged and was erected towards me. Dicken propped his face up on an elbow with a face filled with delight. He was admiring my frantic and embarrassed reaction. With a tug, his tail retracted its grip from my leg and proceeded to spank my buttcheeks. I was being played and teased by this lewd creature while naked!The spanking came as a surprise, causing me to roll off the bed and onto the cabin’s floorboards in pain. I tried my hardest to withstand the pain so I wouldn’t yelp in pain. ‘I can’t scream. I can’t let anyone find out that Dicken is in my room, especially while naked! ‘But how could I let him stay here with me? I’m pretty sure I know what is going to happen next…’ I inched backward and moved away from him, then grabbed a nearby chair. With the four legs of their chair pointed to him, I raised my voice to make myself appear assertive. “Get out, if not I’ll scream for help! You don’t want to get a
I looked out the window toward the direction of the shouting. It was just like they said; the outline of a ship could be seen through the fog above the surface of the sea. Red smoke was visibly diffusing from the direction of the ship. The red smoke is known to be the distress signal out at sea. Due to the storm, something on the ship must have been out of order. The ship then released several lifeboats, and several people got onto it before rowing over to our boat. A sailor shouted, “The lifeboat is coming and there are even elderly people. Let’s release the ropes quickly!” Those who live on the sea know full well the dangers it brings. Therefore, they were empathetic towards those that had unfortunate encounters. “Professor Laura is still asleep. Should we wake her up for permission? She always told us to mind our own business and not to stray off course,” someone asked. “Don’t! She definitely won’t let us help these poor people. You’ve seen how cold and heartless that
I quickly thought of a countermeasure. Through the gap in the door, I noticed a sailor named Henry was not too far from my cabin. I knocked lightly on my door to try to attract Henry’s attention. That way, I could secretly tell him about the horrific revelation, and he could alert the military personnel on board. But I had to be discreet. The outcome would be unimaginable if the pirates found out. “Henry, Henry, could you come here for a bit?” I beckoned him softly. As I did that, I was simultaneously observing the movements of the pirates in hopes that they didn’t notice anything unusual. “Miss Linda?” Henry heard my voice and walked closer with a puzzled expression. Right then, I saw the elderly man with a bent back suddenly straighten his spine and throw something he was holding onto the floor. In an instant, white smoke rose from the floor, and the people on deck were no longer visible. A pungent scent flooded my nostrils, and Dicken flung me onto the bed in a swift
I was petrified by Dicken’s stare and couldn’t move. But the shouting voice outside immediately drew my attention. “To the idiot who’s still in there, if you don’t come out now, I will blast the door open with dynamite!” He then laughed sinisterly. “Or else, I will blast someone’s head open!” Shortly after, I could hear someone cock the safety of a gun, followed by the sound of Henry’s crying. He screamed in agony, “Stop! Help! Don’t kill me! Miss Linda, please help me!” Henry’s wailing felt like a stab through my heart. Now, I was much calmer than before. Every move I made would affect the lives of those outside my door. ‘I must think of a plan where I can protect my life as well as theirs. If I walk out there meekly like just now, I’ll just be feeding myself to the wolves. Dicken is ferocious. Asking for his help is my best option.’ I could feel my chest well up with courage. With the feeling of responsibility to save the sailors, I turned around and grabbed Dicken’s arm.
I took a deep breath and gathered my courage before opening the cabin door. The moment I opened the door, a thought surfaced in my mind—Dicken will come to my aid. Although I was abhorrent to everything Dicken had done to me and how he had almost destroyed my career as a researcher, I believed that he wouldn’t leave me behind for some unknown reason. “What a hot woman! Now raise both your arms and behave!” A rough and muscular man was standing in front of me. He was wearing a worn-out hat. He looked at me with a deceitful and disgusting smirk.He then aimed the opening of the gun barrel at my head. Nobody would be calm at a time like this. So, unsurprisingly, the shirt on my back was already drenched in sweat. I obediently raised my arms to show that I had no intention of rebelling against them. I carefully walked out of the cabin and composed myself as I said, “Calm down, I’m just a defenseless woman.” The pirates on deck who pretended to be survivors had now done away
He was a beast, after all. His acts of intimacy stemmed from his feral instincts and were not based on emotions. It was perfectly logical for him to leave. Although I had that train of thought, I still mentally cursed him in the back of my mind. ‘Despicable!’ I hadn’t expected to feel miserable. I clenched my fists in a fury. ‘That stupid beast! How could he abandon me?!’ Just when I was lamenting his absence, I suddenly heard the sound of a strong wave crashing against the hull of a boat. Seawater overflowed onto the deck and the boat started rocking side to side. The man stepping on me lost balance and fell onto the floor. Withstanding the pain, I crawled up and raised my head. Dicken’s tail clung to the boat’s mast as he propped his body upright, overseeing the situation on the boat from above like a harbinger of death. He roared fiercely before pouncing onto the pirate that had stepped on me. With a mighty swing from his long tail, several of the pirates who were ready to
I held onto one of the sailor’s legs and dragged him under the eaves. That way, he would be further away from the gunfire. Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone wailing, “Miss Linda! Please help me! I’m having a heart attack! I feel like I’m about to die…”I recognized that voice to be Henry’s. I hurriedly looked for his figure among the group of sailors. I found him curled up with a painful expression on his face. “Wait for me!” I got to him immediately and dragged him under the eaves the same way I dragged the other sailor. I intended to do CPR on him, but the moment I pressed my hands onto his chest, a cold and metallic gun barrel was placed below my chin. Henry’s face, which was originally twisted in pain and agony, was now malicious as if his behavior of being in pain earlier was all an act. I was dumbfounded. Henry’s hands were not tied. He had been disguising himself all along because he was a spy for the pirates. ‘What is going on?’ ‘Henry was the sailor who had
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,
