“Your eyes,” I gasp.
“My eyes?” he says like he’s in a daze.
His hands move up and he hooks me under the arms. Then his lips are on mine.
A gust of his magic surges through me. My hands jerk up, but he kisses me deeper and I feel hazy and limp. My hands collapse and I drown into the heat and wetness of his mouth pressed against mine.
For a few seconds.
My self-preservation instinct switches on, and I push at his shoulders. He moves back a bit, stunned, as my hand sweeps, and I slap him across the cheek. Blood spurts from his nose, shimmery red at the touch of the first sun’s rays filtering through the ceiling of leaves. I freeze, leaning against the handlebar.
Ettrian shakes his head and smirks at me.
“Ettrian’s rule number one,” he says, “never kiss mermaids. Ettrian’s rule number two—never even attempt to fuck a mermaid.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
He wipes the blood dripping from his nose away with the back of his hand and scans the front of his hoody. It’s covered in red stains.
“It was worth it,” he says.
“If you touch me again, I’ll break your arm. My dad is President. He taught me how to break arms.”
“My broken bones heal very quickly.” He nods then tilts his head and stares at me.
No—
He’s not staring.
He’s devouring me with his eyes. And it feels so fucking good that I pull the sleeve of my jacket down and wipe the blood from underneath his nose with the cuff.
“You’re welcome,” I say, taking my hand off him.
He nods then leans towards me and slams his lips on mine.
My mind whirls; my self-preservation instinct disappears, and I open my mouth wide for him. His arms wrap around me, and I sink into the heat of his body and the delicious wetness of his kiss. He raises himself and jumps off the bike as my arms and legs wrap around him. Our kiss never breaks. We lower to the ground at the pine tree and Ettrian sits with his legs folded and splayed. I’m on top of him. My lips are united with his as our tongues touch, dance, and mate.
I move away from him. “Our trip…”
“Later,” Ettrian rasps and puts his hand on the back of my neck as his lips capture mine again.
I could have sworn this elven jerk is seriously interested in me.
I tear my lips from his. “You know how it works in the club, huh?”
“I know.” His hands stroke my back up and down then he pulls me to him and kisses me again.
I growl, pulling away, so we sit opposite each other. “There are rules, Ettrian. Very fucking strict rules. My dad—“
My dad would kill Ettrian if the elf took my virginity and trashed me. Being the club’s member means that you respect the women here.
Those rules work for my dad. My sisters and me? Talia is married, but Yara, Murray and I are virgins waiting for our princes to find us, love us and marry us. Whoever they are. What a fucking comedy. Or a drama, I’m unsure.
“I’ll marry you,” Ettrian says.
“What?”
Chapter 19
Ettrian
She looks at me like I’m crazy. My hands shake and my heart pounds.
“I will marry you,” I repeat. “Today. After the trip.”
I suddenly feel like I want to start a family, like I want a wife in my bed. I want Kai in my bed. But since I’m an honourable elf and a club member I need to marry her first. Or a bit later. Hell yeah. I’m gonna fuck her and marry her in one go.
She raises her finger in a threatening gesture. “No fucking way.”
“Why not?” My speech stutters for the first time ever.
“Why not?” There is a high-pitched crack in her voice. She scrambles to her feet and growls with fury. “Why not? My God, you’re horrible and you’d leave me as soon as you snatched up a human woman. Your sister—“
“I’m not my sister.”
“No fucking way. Can we go now?”
She is very angry with me so I decide not to continue our conversation. I jump on my bike and she sits behind me.
The engine roars and we pour out of the woods then ride along the motorway.
I feel like someone has ripped my heart out of my chest and crushed it under their boot. I can’t recall my way when we finally park into the space between two cars by the path that stretches along the beach. Kai jumps off and rushes towards a round wooden building that accommodates a shop and a pub as I follow her. We go down the concrete stairs and carry on walking along the beach. The pebbles are scrunching under our feet. The smell of seawater settles in my nostrils, but it doesn’t give me the sense of tranquillity I usually have on the beach. I love being on the shore, but not this time. This time I only want to be on top of Kai with my dick buried deep inside her tight mermaid cunt.
She leads me towards the cliff of a red colour bringing an impression of rust eating iron to my mind. We step into the shallow water that seeps into my boots and pricks my skin like needles with its coldness and then we meander among the uneven formations of the sea bottom unveiled by the low tide. Kai points her finger to the cliff and we hide in a small niche far from the sight of all the people relaxing on the beach.
“We have to return before the high tide.” Kai nods. “We have four hours.” She starts removing her clothes. “Can you not stare at me? Please.”
Right. She is going to take mermaid form. That means she will have to remove all her clothes.
“What do you want me to do?” I ask.
“Take off your boots, cut, and hoody.”
I nod and shed my upper clothing and boots. The cool air brushes against my bare chest and goose bumps pop up all over my skin.
My dick screams to fuck when my eyes travel to Kai’s naked ass. I’ve never seen such a beautiful ass and I’ve seen hundreds of female asses.
She rolls her clothes and puts them on the shelf protruding from the niche. I add my clothes on top of hers, and she turns to face me. Her lower body is naked, but she has her bra on.
“Ready?” she says.
I’m mute, my eyes fixed on her tits lifted by her bra. Then my glance travels to her mound covered by dark pubic hair.
Kai pokes a finger into my chest. “We have to go, you elven freak.”
She passes me and rushes towards the sea waves crashing against the rock layered by patches of seaweed.
I follow her, my teeth chattering together. The sea is her environment. Elves don’t like being cold. Elves don’t swim in the cold sea. Ever.
We immerse ourselves into the water and her mermaid tail wiggles above the water surface. It glitters like gems of green, silver, and purple colours. Her arms sweep, keeping her afloat, and she gestures for me to move closer. The sea floor scratches my feet and the coldness of the water knocks the air out of my lungs. I tear my way to her and our bodies touch. Her velvety tail wraps around my legs and she pulls my arm.
“Now,” she says and winks at me, “now it’s the pleasant part.”
I can sense her joy and freedom like an orange electric current is pricking my skin. Like an orange sweetness is filling my mind. Like an orange temptation I want to taste so badly.
I’ve never seen her in mermaid form. I’ve never seen her so seductively pristine and wild. She is like the essence of the sea. Like a bad storm and wind. Like pure happiness.
I lean towards her as her arms wrap around me.
“You want more kissing, you elven freak?”
Thick droplets of water splash against my back as the sky darkens.
I nod.
Kai’s eyes burn with a cobalt fire, fierce and dark, lustful, and she presses her lips against mine. My body starts speeding as she breathes for me and for herself. It’s her mermaid magic. It fills my lungs like a sweet torture. Like an exhale of green marine life. She makes the rules here.
I wish this journey could last for eternity. My surroundings blur, and I have to close my eyes. My ears fill
with the sounds of marine life as Kai swims downwards faster and faster. The strength of her mermaid tail is unbelievable.
Then mermaid magic touches me like delicate bliss as we enter their kingdom that hangs in another dimension, hidden from all the other species. It’s the mermaids’ land. I’m a guest here.
Kai changes the direction and we go upwards. I feel the warm air brushing against my cheek. Kai separates her lips from mine, and I take a sharp breath. My eyes flick over the cave we’re in. It’s formed by black rock and glitters like a dust of diamonds is adorning the walls. The blue water around us emits the kind of dim light. I can hear droplets of water splashing against the hard surface.
“As promised,” Kai says.
We are floating with our heads above the water.
“Go,” she says and points her finger to a square platform of rock protruding from one of the cave walls. An oval shape of my height hangs in the middle of it. It’s formed by red smoke. I know what that is. It’s the gate to the past.
I swim towards the platform and clamber onto it then sit on my heels in front of the gate, waiting patiently.
Kai
I watch him. He’s sitting in silence as images start flashing in the gate. They’re the images from the past. One image every few seconds—a bit blurry and greyish.
I’ve never been here before, but it’s my world and my primal instinct guided me here. One day, Adva will take me to our family home. Her sister is the queen now. I’ve never met her, but I’m looking forward to.
I swim closer to the platform and put my forearms on the rock so my upper body is above the water. Its touch gives me a sense of contentment, fills me with wildness. Makes me feel lustful.
Ettrian watches the images of his kind—wars, weddings, other celebrations, funerals. There is no sound, just those flashes bringing a sense of sadness to my heart.
I watch Ettrian’s face. At first, it’s an emotionless mask, but then his jaw muscles twitch and he blinks a few times. Tears flow from his eyes.
It hits me hard. It hits me like the power of lightning, touches my very soul. He made such a sacrifice to save my family. Oh yes, I remember my two timelines, Theo’s death, the curse and my walk in the ancient Greece. I figured out Ettrian’s role in this whole mess. I had a chat with Talia and she told me to keep quiet. So I am very quiet.
Tears prick my eyes and stream down my cheeks as I clamber onto the platform and allow my tail to dry. My heart hammers in my chest as my tail divides, forming two legs, and I move closer to Ettrian, overwhelmed by one desire—to comfort him.
Ettrian
Her wet chest touches my back and my mind spins. Blood thumps in my ears. Her arms wrap around my chest from behind and her knees press against my ankles.
“Are you very sad?” she asks.
“No, I’m not sad at all.”
“Elves never lie, you dick.”
I’m not sad.
My dick is so hard I can only think of her cunt and her breasts pressed against my back. I’m hyperaware of her hard nipples, and the goose bumps spread across her skin.
“Do you miss them?” she asks.
“No.”
“My God, what is wrong with you?”
Nothing is wrong with me. It’s just that I yearn for her lips pressed against mine. I crave her wet little tongue. I can’t focus on anything else at the moment.
I twist my chest and tumble her so she lies down on her back and I crawl on top of her.
Kai
I manage only a sigh as that elven dick starts kissing me.
No—
It’s not just kissing. It’s the fury of kissing. The madness of kissing. The consuming power of kissing. Hot, wet, almost brutal.
His smell invades every molecule of my being. His skin warms mine, and I feel like I’m hot and liquidly.
He parts my thighs with his knee and rubs his erection against crotch, growling. I feel him manipulate the zip in his jeans. Then I feel the head of his cock pushing at my entrance.
I tear my lips off his. “Can you please put your dick back into your pants?”
“No.”
“No?”
“I’m going to marry you.” There is passion in his voice hinted with menace. “Kai, I love you. I love you very very much. And I’m going to marry you now.”
“You’re gonna do the fuck what?”
It’s like my brain shatters. I stiffen.
He plants a kiss on my forehead. “You heard me and I just wanted to add I will love you until I die. I give you my word.”
Fuck, this is serious. Elves never lie. They’ll never promise anything they can’t fulfil.
“What do you mean?” I shriek. “Like you want to spend your eternity with me? And there won’t be other women?”
“Only you. Always. You have my word.”
This is very fucking tempting.
No—
It fills me with such pride I spread my folded legs wide apart for him.
I’ve snatched up an elf. Me? A little mermaid.
Ettrian tears my bra off me and eases his weight onto his elbows. He runs the back of his knuckles down my cheek.
His face turns rigid like he wants to kill me, eyes burning fiercely with silver. He kisses a wet path along my neck and circles my nipple with the tip of his tongue, teasing me. My hands travel to his hair and I twine my fingers with his damp wisps. He bites my nipple lightly as his fingers roll the other.
I’m a hot ball of desire. I’m a burning need. Nothing more.
“It’s mine to take,” he says. “It’s always been mine to take. Now, I know why I’m here with you.”
“You’re not a romantic, are you?”
“No.”
I suck in a breath. He levers himself up on his elbow then holds his cock and pushes in, burying his whole length inside me in one thrust.
A wave of agonising pain strips me of oxygen. I stiffen, pushing my knees against his hips and digging my fingers into his back as his body crushes mine. Prevents me from escaping his massive cock stretching my pussy. No, it feels like his cock is tearing my pussy apart.
A desperate cry forces its way through my tightened throat.
“Kai, breathe, and I’ll take this pain away from you.”
“You’re too big,” I gasp. “It hurts.”
“You’ll get used to me.”
Chapter 20
Ettrian
I can barely control myself. Her cunt clamps around my dick, and I know I could cum in two, three thrusts. No, I could cum just being inside her.
I told her I’d take the pain away, but my mind is so hazy I can’t recall the words of the incantation.
I’ll take this pain away from her later.
Now, I can make her get off, that’s all.
I slide my hand between our bodies and search for her sensitive nub. It’s deliciously swollen, her folds wet. She gasps as I massage her clit in circles and kiss my way down her neck. Her unique smell spreads within me like intoxication.
Her little fingers move up my back to my neck, and she touches my ears.
A jolt of electricity surges through me. The hairs rise on my back.
“Kai, don’t do that.”
She doesn’t listen though. Her skilled fingers brushing and rubbing my ears send me into absolute insanity. There is no sense of control left inside of me.
I lean against my elbow and grip her hip with my other hand. Then I thrust into her hard. She whimpers as her body rocks beneath mine, but I don’t stop. I’m a ravenous instinct seeking release. I go deeper into her. My balls tighten. A wave of liberating heat goes down to my toes and they curl as I empty myself inside her. I wrench in my pleasure with two more thrusts then collapse onto her.
For a moment, I’m blind and deaf. Then her desperate breathing brings me back to reality.
It was the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had. A sense of failure rolls over me. It was the swiftest sex I’ve ever had.
“I can feel you,”
Kai rasps, sounding like she’s having fun at my expense.
“What?” I rearrange my body so I don’t crush hers as my cock slides out.
“You’re ashamed of yourself.”
“How do you know this?”
“I have no fucking idea. Maybe it’s my father’s genes. Why are you ashamed?”
“You’re my wife and what I did was very selfish.”
She emits a hoarse chuckle as her hand travels to my cheek and she strokes me. “Was it good?”
“It’s never been this good.”
“Tell me you love me.”
Her words are like a sweet song to my ears.
“I love you more than anything,” I say.
Her safety and happiness become my most important goal in life, my most important need. I’d die for her if needed. It’s as simple as that.
Fuck. I’m no elf. I’m a husband focused on making Kai feel good.
She chuckles again as her hand slides down my cheek and she touches my ear, jolting me. “I have no energy to take us back.”
“We can stay here for a while,” I rasp as a tingle spreads from my waist down.
“They’ll be worried.”
“They know you’re with me.”
Kai
His love for me floods me. It’s so pure and strong that almost painful to me. I can feel him, the essence of him—his warrior, his magic. Him. He’s uncomplicated, stable like a rock. We’re bound like my dad and my mom and he’s just claimed me like we’re wolves.
“You’re a fucking elf,” I rasp.
“What do you mean?”
“Elves don’t love like this, if ever.”
“Maybe I’m one of my kind.”
He kisses my cheek and sweeps a wisp of my hair away from my face. His hand travels to my tummy and he hums an incantation. His magic envelops me like a soft blanket and dissipates, taking the pain in my pussy away from me.
Ettrian rolls me on my side and pulls me to him so my back rests against his chest.
“How are you feeling?” he asks with concern, massaging my tummy.
“Sticky between my thighs.”
