I sensed Dicken heavily panting like he had rushed here after going through a battle of life and death. He was surrounded by an air of hostility as well as a strong scent of blood. Dicken was injured, and it wasn’t just a scratch. I could imagine winning a battle against such a ferocious pelican eel wouldn't have been easy. My eyes searched his body for wounds. I swear it wasn’t out of concern for him; it was just a habit of mine as a biologist. He seemed to have realized what I was trying to do and bent down, causing his long drenched hair to droop over me and block my line of sight. In the darkness of the night, I felt something cold resting against my forehead – it was Dicken’s chin. With one claw supporting my neck, he pulled my head towards him and buried me into his broad chest. Being this close to him, the metallic smell of blood became stronger. “Dicken, where are your injuries?” I couldn’t help but ask. Dicken didn’t reply. His only response was a low growl comin
“Dicken, wait! You’re hurt, don’t be impulsive!” Even though I knew there was no way I could stop him, I still inadvertently clutched his arm. It was then that I noticed that the long hair cascading on his back had blood dripping from it. It must’ve been a severe wound considering it was bleeding like that. I hadn’t noticed it before because the night was dark, and his hair had concealed the wound.Suddenly, the pain from my wound caused by the pelican eel’s bite flared up. It was either because I was reminded of it from seeing Dicken’s wound or that I was only now able to react. Nonetheless, it was a sharp pain that was difficult to endure, like a dagger had stabbed straight into my spine. The stinging pain caused my back to arch forward as I dug my fingernails into my skin to endure it. ‘What’s going on? Why is it suddenly hurting so much?’ I gritted my teeth to withstand it, and I subconsciously desired Dicken’s saliva to heal me. But how could I ask for that in a situati
Right then, Dicken’s head popped into my line of sight and blocked me from seeing anything else. The next thing I knew, his lips were sealed with mine. The kiss was intense in frustration as Dicken’s tongue pried my teeth apart, conquering the interior of my mouth, causing my chest to start heaving. The sudden kiss took my breath away, and as Dicken whisked away at my tongue, my attention was finally drawn away from the red-haired merman. Just as I was about to oppose Dicken and pull away from this ill-timed violation, he released me. I didn’t expect him to let go of me so quickly. He then narrowed his eyes when he looked at me and turned to glare at the red-haired merman. He looked like an emperor giving a silent warning to a naive trespasser. It was as if he was saying, ‘This is my loot. You can’t snatch her away from me!’ Dicken’s face became more fierce, and his eyes appeared colder. He revealed his ivory teeth which glinted in the moonlight. He was unleashing his murderous i
Seeing the rescue boat lifted my spirits immediately. With all the strength I had, I swam toward the direction of the light. The closer I got, the safer I felt because I could hear the bustling commotion of people on board. I was so relieved that even the stinging pain on my back felt like it had reduced in severity. It was Gary and the others. They seemed to have defeated the pirates in the middle of all the chaos and seized control of the ship. “Gary! I’m right here! It’s my, Linda!” I quickly made my way toward the boat, but I still couldn’t fully comprehend the speed of my swimming. It was as if I had a small motor propeller attached to me. When I finally reached Gary and the rest, they were surprised to see me. “Linda! Oh my god! It really is you!” Gary couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw me. He then immediately extended his arm to pull me up from the water and enveloped me in an embrace. He was so excited to see me that his body was shaking. He wrapped his strong arms
The wound on my back was rather severe. Luckily, Gary found a first aid kit on the ship. I had wanted to treat the injury myself, but it was too inconvenient for me to reach it. I didn’t want to ask Laura for help, so I had no choice but to ask Gary to help me. I laid face-down on the bed as it was not only convenient for Gary to apply the medicine, but it also prevented me from revealing too much skin. “Your clothes are stuck onto the wound. I’m going to lift your clothes up, so bear with it for a bit,” Gary said strictly. I nodded and buried my face into the pillow. I was aware of the situation of the wound on my back, so I bit the pillow and prepared myself mentally for what was to come. But the pain was so unbearable it felt like my flesh was being torn apart. It was so intolerable that my body involuntarily tensed up, and I clenched my fists. I couldn’t help but yell, “Go easy on me! F*ck!” Gary’s face darkened, but he didn’t reply. He just hastened his movements and tor
Gary’s expression suddenly changed. In astonishment, he asked, “You figured it out?” I cackled coldly and said, “Have you forgotten? I’ve always received full marks for military-related subjects. Why wouldn’t I be able to recognize an emblem like that? Why don’t you just tell me what’s going on? And don’t even think that I’ll do anything else for you unless you give me a straight answer!” The awkward atmosphere from earlier had vanished completely at that moment. My abrasive attitude came as a shock to Gary, and he looked at me like he was confirming I was the same person he knew before. After a long time, he finally shook his head and replied coldly, “I can not disclose anything to those who aren’t core members. This is a military mission. I’m sure you can understand the situation I’m in, Linda. But I can assure you that I won’t put you in harm’s way again…” He clutched my hand that was outside the blanket. Then, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and his pupils dilated
This strange fragrance seemed to be emitting from my body, from my bones to every square inch of my skin. The scent flooded my nostrils as I felt its effects flowing to my chest, abdomen, and finally to my…It felt like electricity was flowing in my blood, exciting the private spot in my crotch. My chest heaved as my breathing became rapid, and my body broke out in a sweat. I frantically clutched at the sheets, enduring the temptation to relieve myself. The urge to do so kept beckoning me from my crotch. The darkness was masking my embarrassment, but it also seemed to magnify my sexual desires. I couldn’t believe that all I was thinking of was Dicken. ‘I can’t believe I’m actually hoping that beast would..’ Right when I squeezed the blanket between my legs to hold it in, a loud boom of thunder broke the silence and startled me, which prompted me to look out the window. A flash of lightning outside cast a dark shadow onto the bed resembling an evil harbinger. I was so startle
Before I could finish my sentence, I felt something cold on my waist. Dicken had lifted me with an arm and pressed me against the door. In the next second, my lips were completely sealed as they endured a long and intense kiss. I was defeated the moment the battle started. In a daze, the legs that I had clamped shut earlier were parted easily by his webbed claw. Just like that, his large tail managed to get between my legs and rub against my crotch. My body quickly responded to his actions. The embarrassment fueled my struggle as I waved my arms around, wanting to push him away. But with just one webbed claw, he pinned both my hands above my head before lowering himself to plant kisses on my neck. He lifted his head to look at me, and I saw a passionate but unsatiated desire in his eyes. He mumbled, “You…want me…Linda…I…could see…it…” I could see a broad smile on his face in dim light, which then turned into a sneaky chuckle. He then used his tail to push me higher for his con
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,
