Snapping her head to the left, Leanna felt slightly startled. Something had moved. Scanning the swirling surf pounding below, she darted her eyes back and forth.
My overactive imagination or sunstroke, no surprise today. Must be the hottest day of the summer, she thought.
Movement again! Her eyes flicked now to the right.
Damn straight I saw something! But who would be swimming out here? No one could possibly swim out here. She looked down at the threatening waters.
The burning yellow of the sun reflecting off the water made it hard to see. Leanna appreciated the cool mist of sea-spray caressing her face as it floated up and over the massive rock.
Inhaling the sultry smell of the ocean had become her favorite pastime. To make love in the seductive ebb and flow of the sea remained her one desire. Sure, she'd had plenty of skinny dipping romps, but to make love? Now that would be the ultimate.
The imagined taste of sea-salt-flavored lips touching hers possessed her night and day. Lately her vivid dreams had been filled with magical underwater trysts. Blurred memories mixed with raw passion, each morning she wished she could recall the face of her dream lover, but try as she might no picture would form. The feelings she could recognize easily, that unbridled horniness was hard to ignore even in dreams.
The whole problem was...Leanna lived and worked in the smoggy city, a clear two-hour drive from her beloved ocean sands. Recalling its stifling air, especially in the summer, brought furrows to her smooth brow.
How am I ever going to find the perfect seaside lover if I only get here once every two months or so?
She knew the prospect of a move anytime soon, due to her aging mother, remained out of the question. With her mom in a nursing home, despite the fact she seemed quite spry, Leanna had to stay put. Guilt surfaced now and again.
There's no other choice with my work, she told herself yet again.
Finding it increasingly difficult to convince herself, Leanna sighed aloud. Where her mother lived went against the grain. If only she could have her at home. Looking around her favorite spot, Leanna prayed out loud for him to come save her.
"Where are you my lover? I need you."
Mermaid Point, a three hour, easy going hike from the nearest camp-site, jutted out sharply from the rugged coastline. Leanna came here often as a young girl, the family camped once a year. Her mom had brought her out to this spot, Mermaid Point, once. Leanna had loved it ever since but could never get her mom to walk out with her again.
Many stories of mermaid sightings went back through history. The wind blew wildly from the west and today proved no exception. Her hair tousled around her face, she loved the feeling of freedom it had. The possibility of danger excited her. Legend had it that sightings of playful merfolk were quite common, right here.
Imagine that, my very own summer sea lover. Mmmmmmm.
Sure that she had heard a voice, Leanna shook her head. No, now that's just too far-fetched. Standing precariously on the outermost edge of the rock, Leanna strained her ears, but it was impossible to hear against the roar of the waves. The noise chipped away at her remaining calm.
"I must be mad. Who the hell would be out here anyway?"
A deep, rich voice came from behind her. "I always said that if I was silly enough to be somewhere, chances are someone else would be there, too!"
Leanna jumped around, stepping backwards, to avoid falling. Perspiration trickled the long track of her neck mixing now with the tiny hairs, now erect. "What the hell! You trying to scare me to death or something? What are you doing sneaking around here like that?" Her heart was like a jack-hammer at her ribcage.
Man! He's hot! Possibly hotter than this searing sun, she considered. Something rang familiar about him, like she knew him. Her body sure did and wasted no time reacting to the raw sexuality exuding from him. The sight of his sky blue eyes teamed with tangled, blond hair caused wetness between her legs. Pushing the nagging feeling away, and trying to take control of her arousal, Leanna told herself they were only dreams. On tiptoes, she tried to make eye contact with him, hoping that would help her recognition.
"I do beg your pardon for startling you, I couldn't resist." Greedy eyes traveled all the way down her body and back up. His presence sent shivers through her despite the summer heat. Leanna was glad she'd worn her black bikini, coupled with the cool ocean spray, it made her golden tan glow. Her nipples strained against the thin, stretchy fabric, eager for his attention. She made no attempt to hide them. How could she as large as they were? His gaze lingered there for a moment which sent her body into sexual overdrive.
"My name is Noah, pleased to meet you." Offering his large hand to her, he took a small step forward.
"Leanna…pleased to meet you…Noah." Electricity seemed to surge between them as their hands met. His taut skin wet, she looked questioningly at him and noticed his hair dripping as well.
"You're wet…how? I mean, where were you swimming?" He took a step towards her, Leanna couldn't move back, already dangerously close to the jagged edge. His shaggy head inclined toward the boiling waters below.
"In there," he said, calmly.
Looking down, Leanna felt a little vertigo, strange. That had never happened before.
"But how? It's too dangerous, and how would you get up here anyway?" Leanna began to think she may be sexually attracted to a psycho, lying to her so he could take her off and chop her up! So close to her now, Noah held her back from toppling off the rock. Leanna felt a little scared.
"Please, I'll fall. Why are you doing this?"
Gentle lips brushed her sensitive earlobe as he spoke softly. "Perhaps I'm making a wish come true."
His hand deliberately grazed across her nipple. It almost jumped out of the bikini top at him. Confusion addled Leanna's brain.
How could he know? This is madness! He can't know my innermost desire…impossible! Nuzzling into her neck, he nibbled at her skin.
"Isn't this what you want? To be made love to? In the sea?" Long fingers clasped at her butt cheeks. He pulled her close. It felt as if she knew him, her body knew him. Any reservations she had crumbled. Her body screamed to be touched by him.
"Who told you that?" Leanna gasped out. Her chest heaved against Noah's muscular body. He has no top on? He'd had one on earlier, she'd thought so anyway. His explanation penetrated her very fiber.
"You told me, Leanna, just now, standing here showing off your perfect body. I have to fulfill that wish for you. I have to have you." His voice whispered like the rustling leaves.
"Come with me. Leanna…come with me."
Suddenly, they hurtled towards the sea. She should be screaming, but Leanna remained mesmerized while Noah held her and looked deep into her eyes. Time and motion stood still. Leanna felt as if they were floating slowly like a bubble, not plummeting downwards in a free fa
ll. He kissed her. His mouth tasted like the sea, salty and cool. Slowly entwining his tongue around hers, he fanned her inner flames into a rage. The merciless sun paled in comparison
Leanna felt lost in him as if, somehow, they had become conjoined in that moment. The water must be coming soon! Shit! It'll be freezing. How will I breathe? That's if I even survive the two-hundred-foot drop! Panicked thoughts threatened, but his protective embrace consumed her and she opened her mouth, devouring even more saltiness.
"Do not worry, Leanna. I will not allow you to be harmed. I only wish to fulfill you."
Now, this is freaky! How can he speak if he's kissing me?
A deep throaty, sexy laugh invaded her mind. "My dear, sweet, sexy human. We are communicating with our thoughts, which is how I heard your desire. It is the way of the merfolk."
The kiss deepened and still they fell. Leanna still couldn't shake the shock of the situation. Surely, I must be dreaming! That's it! Suddenly the penny dropped! She knew him all right, she'd loved him every night in her dreams, for months now. Every touch, every kiss was known to her. It was still unbelievable, but she knew it to be true—more than anything else, Leanna knew that. She tightened her arms around his waist.
"Good girl, now you remember, relax and enjoy, I know I shall." Then they hit the water.
Leanna had expected a very messy entry. To her surprise the crisp ocean felt like a silk sheet caressing her awakened body. The couple plunged toward the sea bed, gracefully. She hardly noticed the kiss ending as Noah scooped her into the cradle of his arms and nuzzled at her shoulder. For some reason she could see him clearly and breathing didn't seem to be an issue either.
Her mind questioned his, how? Her hands ran over his rock hard abdomen, and then feeling lower, she discovered an unusual sensation. A tail! She ran her hand over it, loving the feel. Her gaze clamped onto it and remained there. Leanna felt a little silly at being enamored with it. Of course he would have a tail, being a merman, but still the idea thrilled her. This she never had in her dreams; the tail was his crowning glory. It was a gleaming silver and beat rhythmically, smoothly. Powerful muscles rippled as he swam her to their final destination.
He answered. "The powers of the merfolk are many. I am able to temporarily give you the ability to breathe underwater and experience the ocean the way we feel it. Also, when the time is right or I need to go on land briefly, I am able to revert to a more human form. When we mate, we become human like, certain organs transform, if you get my meaning?"
Leanna certainly did, blushing. She knew Noah must have heard her thoughts. Would his size match her dreams?
"You will not be disappointed," he told her.
Magnificent coral reefs were laid out before them, every color in the spectrum brightly represented. Noah made his way to a sea sponge bed nestled in a large cave. Drawing a quick breath at the spectacular sight, Leanna still expected to wake up any second. Letting Noah quickly remove her bikini, she lounged across the sponge bed.
Taking her hands, he raised them above her head. Noah somehow, secured them there. He seemed full of magic tricks.
"Don't be afraid, dear, sweet Leanna, I will not hurt you. All that will happen here is that your fantasy will be granted. You see, if you have thought it, then I know about it." His underwater speech was clear and audible.
Relieved that at least his luscious mouth now moved as he spoke, Leanna's fears were allayed, and at last she totally relaxed. Every inch of her wanted him and whatever he had to offer. Caressed by the water, her response heightened as Noah suckled on her full, rounded breasts hungrily, as if his very life depended on it.
It felt just as mind blowing as she'd imagined. Knowledgeable hands parted her willing legs and an expert finger swept her button as he suckled. Arching her back in wonder against him, all her fantasies flashed before her. His superb tail flicked back and forth behind him. It put Leanna in mind of a cat waiting to pounce. The rays of the sun beamed down through the surface and bounced off every mirrored scale. The play of light in rhythm with the beating of her heart. Leanna felt two fingers slip inside her as his mouth left her hardened nipples. The salt water swirled.
Nibbling his way down her rounded belly, she thrust toward him impatiently. He fingered her at a steadily increasing pace, and Leanna wanted desperately to touch him.
He looked up at her. "Not yet, this is for you to enjoy, no distractions. I promise you can touch later."
Leanna gave in and relaxed to the streams of pleasure coursing through her. How sublime.
Briefly pausing above her throbbing center, he cocked his head sideways, as if receiving an incoming message. Noah's large, spatulate fingers traced towards her tiny feet, then danced around her ticklish toes. Leanna saw her red toenails gleaming back at her. He smiled wickedly at her as he gently pushed her left leg and fastened her foot outwards slightly from her hand. Then he captured the right one and fastened it beside the other hand.
Leanna's legs spanned wider than she thought possible. She doubted they could get any more spread. Her knees bent slightly, it was like being in the stirrups. It was surprisingly comfortable. The gentle current tickled her like tiny fingertips, the crispness of the salt water lapped at her hot folds. My Lord, just as I have always wanted! Rabid desire ached as the appreciative looking merman inspected her. A quick flip of his sexy tail propelled him between her outstretched legs.
Then, without wasting any more time, he started licking her out. Leanna's teeth ground together readying herself for the implosion that built rapidly inside her. Noah worked his expert tongue around her most sensitive parts, concentrating on her sensitive clitty. Leanna writhed in ecstasy as he butterflied the hard tip over her swollen nub, then cried out when his stiff tongue drove inside her tunnel. Mimicking a penis, he thrust in and out, driving her further into orbit. His actions were slow and deliberate, making love to her as no other had. It surpassed any of those explicit dreams.
Guttural moans and tiny muscle spasms conveyed the verge of her climax. Oh, how she wanted to come with him inside her! Noah stopped as the thought wormed its way into his subconscious mind. He seized her mouth in a passionate kiss, his body trembling with an intensity that matched hers. His tongue and lips still sweet with her unique flavor, he kissed her insistently. The taste was fantastic to her.
Suddenly stopping, the huge merman leaned back to begin his cross-over. Leanna held her breath. Well, at least, she would have done that if she'd been breathing. His transformation had to be the horniest sight she'd ever experienced. Even in her wildest fantasy, she couldn't imagine this.
Feet formed first, converting his fins to flesh and bone. Noah groaned as if he were experiencing orgasm. Skin replaced scales all the way upwards, muscular thighs popped. Her widened eyes eagerly watched as narrow hips formed and loins created the object of her desire.
Oh my! He's just perfect. His cock became thick, very thick with plenty of length, a combination rarely found in her experience. Throbbing need engulfed her. Walking on the soft sponge bed, wanton male eyes promised eternity. With his outsized hands running down her tanned thighs, he gripped her buttocks. Aiming his human appendage at the moist target, Leanna felt penetration.
Holding eye contact whilst whispering her name, Noah deliberately entered the Promised Land. Her pussy walls gripped involuntarily, stretched to the limit. Leanna's unbridled begging filled her own ears. He made love to her with long purposeful strokes, clearly taking his time. Reaching over, he released her legs. She wrapped around him. Measuring controlled lunges deep within her, Leanna rocked with him.
Her hands were freed next. She clutched him to her, tucking her head just below his chin. They could not get any closer. Leanna felt nibbles on her ear. He whispered to her.
"Oh, Leanna, you are beautiful, so soft and tasty. I want to make love to you forever." Orgasm looming, Leanna cried out his name. Holding her close, he rhythmically built his own orgasm. The waters cloaked them in their fulfillment. Leanna could taste the s
altiness, could see the dance of her dark hair, intermingling with his golden blond, suspended in the water.
In the welcome cool of the ocean, in union with her summer sea lover, Leanna released herself to a long, delicious eruption of innate pleasure. Noah came at that exact moment and they drifted into the current, their pressing bodies quaked with satisfaction, the afterglow of the perfect orgasm lingered.
"Oh, Leanna, I love you, be with me forever."
Her heart skipped a beat. "But I live in the city, Noah, my mom…my work." She struggled with her emotions.
"But your fantasies lie here with me. You belong with me. I need you here...with me." Noah's eyes pleaded.
Leanna answered. "I can't live as you do. I like being human."
He smiled back. "You shall remain so. We can only ever meet like this as I cannot remain on land for long. It is worth it to me. What about you?"
In her mind the turmoil of decision engulfed her emotions. "I can't answer you right now; it's too big a decision! I'm sorry, Noah." Disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he accepted that.
"I understand, my love. One day you will be here. I'll wait. I am nothing without you."
Still holding onto massive shoulders, tears welled in her eyes. If only it were that simple. His tail returned and he propelled her to the surface. Leanna hung on till the very last. Finally the hot air broke into her lungs. Only an hour had passed on the surface yet it had seemed twice as long under the waters. Standing back on the rock where they had begun, she kissed him fully, wanting to reinforce the depth of her feelings.
"Soon." A simple word of promise yet it held so many hopes and dreams. As Noah dove back in, Leanna saw the glint of sun on his fish tail. Had that just happened? She wondered briefly how he would know she was there in the future. Permeating her brain, his voice spoke.
"Do not worry, my darling, I will know. We are one in thought when you are close. I can only contact you from a distance if you are in a very relaxed state. I will see you in your dreams." These words were comforting, but the tears still flowed. It still seemed impossible to her.
