Page 10 of Love at First Swim
“Can you get your dress on yourself? Or do you need some help?”
She shook her head, “I can do it.”
He smiled and then helped her with the box of stuff to his large bathroom. “Get dressed in here, and I will change in the closet.”
He went to the costume that Miles had custom ordered for him, including the pants, a jacket and knee high boots.
He also had a fake sword. And he liked the look of it, glad he didn’t have to change anything with his hair, just brushed it back and gelled it into place.
When he went to his room, he sat on the bed and then his bathroom door opened and Cassidy was peeking out the door. Her blonde locks were covered with a red wig, and when she came out, her dress had a pink top with glitter covering it, and two shells that were also covered in glitter.
The bottom was dark green and had individual scales sewn in intricate glittery beading and the bottom flared in different colors of fabric that looked like a tail.
His eyebrows went up and Cassidy hurried over to him, “You look just like Prince Eric!”
He laughed, and bowed to her, “Thank you sweetheart. You look like a mermaid princess.”
She grinned, “Thanks. Mommy picked out my dress. I wanted to be a mermaid. Of course.”
He held back a laugh and nodded solemnly. “Of course.”
His doorbell rang and Cassidy let out a squeal, running back in the bathroom and then came out with her shoes and a bag.
“Arielle is here!”
Gunner laughed, “Come on princess, let’s go open the door so we can go trick or treating.”
Cassidy raced him down the stairs and when she opened the door, he heard a woman’s voice and assumed it was the mom dropping her daughter off, but when no other five year old flounced in his house, he walked to the door and opened it wider and as the light from the house, and the last rays of the sun fell over her, he felt his jaw drop open.
His mermaid stood in the doorway, wearing a sinfully tight black dress. It was low cut in the front, and was tight until her knees, where it flared out at the bottom.
She was wearing a big beaded necklace that looked amazing with her dress and he had to swallow hard.
She was smiling at Cassidy and he actually felt jealous that his niece was getting the smiles he wanted.
When the woman turned to look at him, she let out a soft gasp that he heard and wanted to puff out his chest.
Her eyes looked him up and down and he felt his cock harden in his pants.
He swallowed hard, and when she met his eyes, she gave a tiny smile and he felt Cassidy tug on his hand, “Come on Uncle Gunner. We are going trick or treating remember?”
He shook his head to clear his thoughts, glad for his long coat that covered his hard erection, and then nodded, “But, aren’t we waiting for Arielle?”
The woman smiled, “That’s me. Sorry, Genna and Cassidy asked if I would go. Is that alright?”
When her words flowed over him like a waterfall, he just nodded. Then he held Cassidy’s hand and gently put his hand on Arielle’s lower back and led them to his car.
He had Cassidy’s booster seat in the back and as soon as she was buckled in, he grabbed Arielle’s hand and led her to the front seat.
“Is your name really Arielle? Like the mermaid?”
She bit her lip and nodded, “It really is. My mother always loved that movie and would say that I was swimming around in her stomach like I was a mermaid. When I was born with red hair, she said it was meant to be.”
He wanted so badly to place a kiss on her lips, but knowing they just met officially, he knew he had to wait.
He nodded, and helped her to get situated in the car, and then shut the door.
As he walked around to his seat, he adjusted his hard length and then got in the front seat.
As Arielle and Cassidy talked, he observed her out of the corner of his eye.
She was it. His love. He was certain of it when he saw her picture the first time, and now? Touching her, and knowing she was really real? He knew without a doubt she was it.
