Mermzashi 1

 

Elly was tired.

She stared blankly at her phone, sighed, and hit record.

"Alright. So, to wrap up where I left off last time, I'm an aquarium worker that happened to be in the wrong - or maybe it was right, considering -- place when government agents were escorting this strange tank into an area I had been prepping. I wasn't told what was going in the tank, but to make a long story short, it ended up being the unbelievable - a merman."

She paused to rub a weary hand over her eyes and tucked a strand of purple hair behind one ear. "He's ... they say he's in heat now, and he's been asking for me. We developed a relationship they tolerate only because they can't force him to do what they want. I don't know what's going to happen, but I want to set him free. If they decide to try and silence me, these recordings and pictures have been sent to multiple friends. They will leak them if I'm gone so the truth comes out. I have to go," she spoke in a rushed voice as she glanced at the time. "Hizashi needs me."

This fact woke her up and made her focus more as she sent the file, deleted everything and placed her phone in her locker. She had to get changed into her bathing suit - not the usual wetsuit she wore, but a carefully chosen bikini.

She blushed, but took it out to change.

That the merman needed her was apparent the minute she walked into the large tank with adjoining pool they had built for him. He was laying in the shallow end of the pool on some warm rocks when she called out.

"Hey!"

His head lifted, his fan-like ears perking out and his face splitting into a huge grin showing sharp canines. "You came!" He splashed into the deeper side of the pool and swam hurriedly to where she was walking around the tank, beaming at her underwater. Elly laughed as she made her way to the pool and placed a folded towel on the rocks nearby. She edged her way to the water and slipped in to the waist, sitting on a small, natural shelf that was only a little slippery.

Hizashi broached, flinging himself out of the tank to the pool. "Whee! You came back to me again! I knew you would!"

He was a gorgeous man on top, with pale skin that belied its toughness, long, flowing blond hair and an adorable, quirky mustache that was two points on either side of his upper lip. It would have looked like catfish barbels, if it were longer, but it only grew those little tips. His eyes were bright green, the pupils surrounded by thin, concentric lines that clearly showed his inhuman nature. Below he resembled a brightly colored koi fish with patterns of yellow and gold.

He placed his hands on the rocks on either side of her, pulling himself up enough to kiss her on the nose. "I'm so happy. I get scared sometimes, 'cause they use you against me as a threat if I don't do what they want. But this time, they couldn't get you here fast enough!" He laughed, then winced, placing a hand on his lower belly.

Elly quickly comforted him, laying a hand on his shoulder. "That brings us to your condition. You okay?"

"Not really," he wheezed comically, and she had to try and bite back a giggle at his expression. "Aw, I see you trying not to laugh! I know, it's weird for humans. But male merms go through heats where we <i>need</i> our partners."

She felt a warm glow at the mention of the word. "Is that what I am, then? We're partners?"

He nuzzled her neck, his long tongue lapping at the sensitive pulse. "Mmn. I'd say we're lovers, <i>lover</i>. Or is that too much considering we haven't mated yet?"

She smiled back at him. "That's why I'm here, Zashi. To help." Her hands slid down his chest, toying with the small puff of hair in the middle before trailing lower.

"W - wait!" Hizashi bit his bottom lip, his tail thrashing at her touch. "I'm different from human men!"

"I know." She caressed his bright scales, admiring the shiny hues that switched from light yellow to gold, growing ever darker towards the slit at the beginning of his tail. There was a distinct lump above the sealed opening, and he groaned as he laid a light hand on it and quickly snatched her hands in his.

"You, ah, well. You know, but you don't. Aren't they recording this somewhere? To better understand merm sex?"

Elly pursed her lips. "I hate to admit it, but you're probably right." She leaned close, wrapping her arms around his slippery shoulders. "I wish..."

"I know," he sighed, his hand cupping the back of her head tenderly, webbing spread out between his fingers. "Listen. If you love me, if you really want this, then let's do it. Ignore the hidden cameras or whatever. They won't matter for long."

"You know I love you, Zashi." Elly kissed the corner of his mouth and let her hands wander, starting with his hair. It was dry on top since he had been staying out of the water to talk, the bright gold tresses pulled back in a loose ponytail with a hair tie the staff had provided him. She stroked the silky strands down to his neck, careful to skirt around the gills that were barely noticeable when he wasn't underwater. Hizashi stiffened, but relaxed when she dropped her fingers lower to his chest.

"Sorry," he sighed. "The most vulnerable part of a merm are the gills. We usually suicide if they're damaged, you know. What kind of life," here he glanced around at the open air pool the humans had confined him to, "what kind of life is worth living if you have to suck air all the time?"

Her voice broke, and a tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm so sorry. I want you to be free, but they won't let me say anything, or help..."

"I know." He hummed in a soothing manner, and she felt her worries drift away. "You're here because you're my Chosen, strange as it may seem. I can't live without you, just like I can't without water."

Her hands moved down his chest to the part where skin blended into scales. The water was warm as she continued to touch him, closing her eyes to better experience the moment. The fins along the sides of his tail floated lazily alongside and she ran a hand over one, marveling at the gossamer wisp, a barely-there part of him that nonetheless had him shivering at her touch.

"Oh, shells," he husked, his head falling backwards as she rubbed at the curious bulge under those warm, soft scales. "Th - that's me, baby. I'm folded up inside, and you can coax me out." Elly watched, fascinated, as he ran a finger along the edge of his slit. "Here," he breathed.

She slid her hand where his was and he guided her with enthusiastic encouragement. "Here?"

"Y - yes- essss." His lips parted, and he began to pant as she explored. The air was clearly harsh for him to breathe but it burned less than her teasing touch. "Open me up, darling."

Her fingers pushed, and something peeked out of the opening. It was flesh colored at the tip and flush with blood. As she curled her hand around him more spilled free, uncoiling just like a sea snake. Patterns swirled around his member, dark gold with glints of yellow flared along the sides. Perhaps the camouflage was to discourage predators when he was in this vulnerable state, but she only had time to briefly think this before his member curled around her wrist, tugging. Elly gasped in shock.

"Yeah." He grinned at her from where he lay, his glorious green eyes half-lidded. Hizashi beckoned, and she moved forward again until he could whisper in her ear. "I can control its movement," he hummed suggestively.

She blushed, her eyes widening. "Ohhh."

"Uh huh. I read a lot online when I borrowed your phone. Human women have this fabled pleasure spot deep inside them where it's hard to reach, hmmm?" He bit very carefully at her neck. "I'll find it, no problem. And when I do, <i>I'll rub all over you, on the inside</i>."

"Hizashi..!"

"Take off your suit," he begged, his voice melodic. "Join me. Lock with me."

"Lock?"

"We'll be connected," he explained. "We can't leave each other until I've emptied fully inside you."

"Zashi? Do you, uh, do male merms have a knot?"

He shrugged fluidly. "I'm not sure what that means," he confessed. "But when I'm deep inside you and have committed to loving you, I'll gift you my pearl. A part here -" He indicated somewhere along the length, "will swell up inside you so we're inseparable."

"Does it hurt?"

His green eyes dulled expressively as he recoiled, shocked that she would think such a thing. "No, never! I would <i>never</i> hurt you. Ahh." He cleared his throat. "Please, don't stop touching me. Look..."

Elly resumed paying more attention to his floating erection. She ran a finger along the fluttering edges and he moaned, his abdomen flexing with pleasure. As he sighed, she saw what looked like a jet of water pulse out. Unlike water, she saw it shimmered under the rippling water of the pool. She gripped him more firmly, pumping harder, and he whimpered, bucking into her touch. More importantly, she saw more of the fluid bubble up around him.

"It's lubricant," she said in relief. That, at least, she understood.

"Mmm hmm. Lots and lots of it. If you were my species we'd be swimming in it as we mated. There's no way I'd ever hurt you. I'd - I'd suck air forever before I did that!" His eyes had returned to their normal bright color and the hypnotic circles seemed to spin as he spoke.

"Kiss me," she pleaded, her decision made. "Help me help you, Zashi. Please."

"Yes!" He pressed his lips to hers, mindful of his teeth when she parted her lips in silent invitation. He demonstrated his ability to control the sharp points by sucking on her tongue, then teasing it with his own. "Mmm. You taste different." His graceful fingers unlaced her bikini top and ran down her waist to the bottom piece, running his palms over the bows on both legs.

Elly helped with the last barrier and then wrapped her legs around his lower body. Hizashi looked startled for a minute, and she laughed. "Not used to having legs here, huh?"

"Definitely not!" He paused, his brow scrunched in thought as he let his hands wander, stroking her breasts and belly. "Could you maybe sit where I am now? I need to, ah, do this in deeper water, but if you sit and let me take you out..."

She took a deep breath. "Okay."

They switched positions, Elly sitting half under the water on the ledge and the blond merman flexing his powerful tail to prop himself up in the shallows. He looked at her and smiled beautifully, opening his arms and waiting for her answering smile before gathering her up.

Hizashi kissed her again, one hand running along her back while she floated, adrift except for his touch. When he felt she was relaxed enough, he edged further into the pool. "I'm going to move into the deep end, darling. Are you okay?"

"Yes." Her arms tightened around his neck but she answered without hesitation. At his gentle urging, she slithered down his body until she felt the nudge of his member between her legs. "H - Hizashi..."

"Yes, my love?" He was constantly moving, his tail undulating through the water. The movements were mesmerizing and her face grew hot as she imagined what was going to happen.

She shook her head back, droplets flying from her hair, and inhaled the smell of salt mingled with his unique scent. "Take me."

His ragged gasp was loud in the room, the only other sound the rippling of water around them. "Remember... talk to me."
