The Merman, My Man novel Chapter 125

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 125

I walked down the steps and came to a halt near the water. The pool was clouded with lotus -like plants, making it less clear than the lake. Dicken was nowhere to be found.

I had no choice but to take a seat on the stairwell. “I would like to appreciate your help on behalf of my companions, ” I said, holding the grilled fish above the water like a dolphin breeder. I’ll return if you don’t come out right now.”

After I finished speaking, I felt compelled to stand. I wasn’t sure if Dicken had hidden on purpose; he had looked at me earlier, but I couldn’t find him now.

But, deep down, I didn’t want him to show up as well so that I’d have an excuse to leave quickly and finish the task Jack had assigned to me.

But I knew it couldn’t happen. A webbed claw slowly reached out from among the floating plants and grabbed my ankle. Then a handsome face emerged from the water, slowly approaching my legs.

Despite being mentally prepared, seeing Dicken in this light made me subconsciously shrink back. I was shaky on my feet and nearly fell backward. Then a wet webbed claw gripped my waist and propelled me forward. I was then sucked into Dicken’s embrace, resting my head on his damp and muscular chest.

I raised my head to face him. We were so close that my lips accidentally rubbed against his chin, which was damp with water droplets. And I was once again immersed in his enticing eyes. My breathing became more rapid.
