Chapter 35


    The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 35


    I was shocked by the scene beneath me. Dicken had surprisingly stopped hitting the ss as well as


    all his other movements. He paused for a while, then turned around to swim towards the deeper parts


    of the reservoir.


    As he was doing that, he halted momentarily and turned back to nce at me once more before


    disappearing into the deep. With Dicken gone, I continued looking around anxiously. After I was sure


    he wasn’t spying on me nearby, I let out a sigh of relief.


    I started to suspect that whatever I had seen was just a misunderstanding from my end. Perhaps


    Dicken’s behavior wasn’t because he was aroused, but because he was upset that I was of a different


    species, maybe that’s why he looked so sad when he left.


    Otherwise, why would he have left so suddenly?


    I pushed the thoughts away for the time being and turned on the shower to wash away the sweat from


    my body. Suddenly, I heard a sharp sirening from my room. I quickly wrapped myself in a towel


    and rushed out to see what themotion was.

    I looked at the weather forecast on the screen in the research room and it said that a storm was


    My heart sank as I recalled what had happened on the boat.


    “Linda! Hey, Linda! Are you awake? Can you hear me?“ Laura’s voice could be heard from the


    I quickly picked it up and said, ”I’m here, Professor. Is there a storm coining? What should we do?”


    ”You don’t need to worry. No matter how severe the storm is, it will not affect theb underwater. You


    can continue your research with no problems. But I must let you know that Gary, the other personnel,


    and I must leave the ind. You’ll be alone in the research room for several days. We wille back


    immediately when the storm blows over, do you understand?”


    I felt anxious because of the current situation, but when I recalled that I had enough food and water and


    that I shouldn’t cause trouble for others, I steeled myself and said, ”Alright , please be careful everyone.


    I will wait here for your return.”


    ”Okay”, said Laura, ”themunicator you’re using can still be used to contact us over the next few


    days. If you have any problems, just… ”


    Before she could finish, only the sound of static could be heard from themunicator as the signal


    grew weaker and weaker. I tried calling her several times but the line was already dead.


    I assumed that the brewing storin must have messed up the signals. Perhaps it would work again after


    the storm was over or when the line got fixed.


    I nervously put themunicator down when I realized that there was a dark mass on the ss floor


    next to my desk. I took a closer look and saw that it was a tangled bundle of seaweed and it was linked


    to a trail of water stains. The trail led right outside the cabin door on the second floor.


    The cabin door was opened just wide enough for one person to go through and the water level in the


    reservoir had lowered by half!


    A chill crawled up my spine.


    I then noticed the reflection of something resembling a python looming above me on the ss floor,


    several salty beads of water dripped onto me and the sound of breathing could be heard from behind


    me.


    I didn’t have any more headspace to figure out how the merman hade in. All I knew was that the


    merman behind me had lowered his head into my neck to breathe in my scent, kind of like a kid


    addicted to the smell of gasoline.


    And right then, I was only d in a towel.


    The fear left me petrified and my legs started to shake. I wanted to escape but my feet were nted


    firmly onto the ground. My mind was also nk. I could feel Dicken’s wet skin stered against my


    back, as well as a hot and hard object pressing against my tailbone. The moment I realized what that


    was, my mind became nk.
