The merman, my man

Chapter 4

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 4

“I didn’t examine the merman further yesterday. I believe highly intelligent creatures like merpeople

would resort to extreme measures when agitated, even to the point of committing suicide.

“I had to ensure his safety. I will get the ship crew to help prepare a large acrylic water tank.

“Whenever I think of his stare, I can’t help but shiver. I have to be the first to unravel this mystery…”

As I wrote in my diary, there was a knock on my cabin door.

I immediately shut my diary and shoved it under the blanket. I didn’t want Gary to know about my diary.

I went to open the door and shuffled back to bed pretending as if I had just woken up.

Gary held the finger that was wounded yesterday and proceeded to disinfect it with a cotton ball.

“Ouch! You’re doing this on purpose!” I shouted.

Gary disregarded my dissatisfaction and said, “I’m warning you, don’t get close to the merman alone. If

I find you doing that behind my back, you’re going to get it!”

While saying that, he pinched the wound on my finger as a warning.

“As if that would happen! Didn’t you see it attack me yesterday? Why would I approach him alone,

especially when I’m so timid?”

Only then did he loosen his grip on my finger. But the next second, he trapped me in the corner of the

room, our faces merely inches away from each other.

“Linda, if you’re going to be disobedient and do things I disapprove of, I will claim you. You must know,

this ship’s crew is under my authority.”

I didn’t believe a word of what Gary had said. He was just a professor, as if he was capable of this.

I lifted my head and looked into his eyes. “Do it then. Then I can visit the merman after we’re done.”

Gary froze for a second in shock then yanked me to his side, my entire body plastered against his.

Then, he placed his hand onto my butt and squeezed it twice.

Out of fear I started to struggle, I was in disbelief that he was serious. But as a woman, my strength

couldn’t have matched his.

Just then, Gary’s darn erection was poking at my stomach.

It was unfathomable that my professor would have impulses directed at me.

But now wasn’t the time to stay shocked. I couldn’t let things unfold in the direction it was going.

I immediately raised three fingers and swore. “Alright, alright. I swear I will not visit the merman on my

own, just let go of me!”

It was only then that Gary let go of me, even though he still trapped me in the corner and stared down

at me, trying to see whether I was lying.

The bulge in his pants was still very obvious and he made no effort to hide it.

He even leaned forward to poke my crotch with his erection to intimidate me.

On the surface, I seemed terrified and looked at him with a pleading expression.

But in actuality, I was disappointed. His “thing” was much smaller than the merman’s.

Damn it! Why was I thinking about that at a time like this!

Gary finally proceeded to leave. He didn’t even bug me in the afternoon.

But the thoughts of the merman’s “thing” and the scales enclosing it were circulating my mind.

It was as though I was compelled by magic, I was determined to examine and research the merman

thoroughly.

At two in the morning, the time when humans are the most exhausted, I jumped down from my bed

soundlessly like a cat. I figured Gary and the others would be sound asleep.

I grabbed a glow stick and successfully infiltrated the area below the deck where the merman was

being held.

As I opened the door of that cabin, I saw the merman silently floating within the transparent tank. His

long seaweed-like hair flowed around him and he looked like a king waiting for his guests to arrive.

The sound of the door opening startled him and he locked his gaze onto me. As if he was waiting for

me this entire time.
