The Merman, My Man novel Chapter 27

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 27

“Linda! Are you okay?“

I woke up after I heard Gary say that. I couldn’t believe that I had fainted again, against Gary’s chest no less!

I quickly tried to get up but Gary hung onto my arm and didn’t let go.

“Linda, are you alright? Are you having a fever? Your face looks flushed.“ Laura placed her hand onto my forehead to check my temperature.

Gary gripped my arm tightly and said strictly, “ Colonel Laura, as Linda’s professor I’m strongly against Linda participating in the research on merpeople reproduction! We should at least wait until Professor Peter is awake! “

I angrily snatched my arm away from his grip in rejection. “No! I won’t give up on a chance like this! “

Gary’s muscles tensed and his face displayed a grim expression. He raised his voice and shouted, “ Absolutely not! “ If Laura hadn’t been around, he probably would have restrained me with physical force.

After seeing the situation at hand and knowing he was afraid of Laura, I quickly hid behind her and stuck my face out mouthing the words ‘f*ck you’.

Then, I grabbed a windbreaker and put it on before following Laura. ”Doctor Laura, let’s go. I’m willing to participate in the inerpeople mating research project.”

As I entered the research room within the reservoir for the second time, I smelled the fragrance again. I quickly covered my nose with the fabric of my clothes, the smell of disinfectant on it momentarily cleared my head. I realized that the fragrance caused me to think irrationally.

Even though my mind was conscious, my body seemed to be reluctant to enter the reservoir. I didn’t even dare to look for Dicken in the water around us.

I was scared to see him, especially when it was confirmed that he was in a rut ! He even referred to me as his mating partner. It felt too shameful !

I followed Laura up the stairs without even looking up. This was another research room above the library. Peter didn’ t bring me in here last time, it looked like access here was restricted.
