Kyler blinked as he nodded.
“Do that again, slower.” Gavin wanted to observe the second eyelid sliding across his eyes. They went the opposite direction from his human eyelids. “Fascinating.”
“Comes in handy.”
Gavin wanted to touch the gills flaring and drinking in the ocean, but thought better of it. Kyler must have read his hesitation because he grabbed Gavin’s hand and pressed it to the side of his throat.
“Gentle, because it is how I breathe in this form. But you won’t suffocate me if you touch softly.”
Holding his own breath, Gavin slid his finger along the outline of Kyler’s gills, watching as they fluttered beneath his fingertip. “Wow.”
Kyler giggled. The sound was so joyous. “I love watching you. You’re adorable.” He cupped Gavin’s face.
Gavin laughed with him. “I’ve never had a merman at my disposal. I want to examine every inch of you.” He took Kyler’s wrist so he could study the webbing between each elegant finger. It was thicker than he imagined it would be, and Kyler seemed not to have much sensitivity in it when Gavin rubbed the membrane. Kyler’s nails were clawed now, sharp, no doubt for protection. Speaking of… “Open your mouth.”
Kyler obliged, showing off jagged pointed teeth. Teeth of a predator, of a deep sea monster.
“Skies.” Gavin refrained from running his fingers along the edges. “You are a wonder.”
That made Kyler blush, which made Gavin’s cock throb in his trousers. Kyler had no idea what he did to him.
“Everything else—especially my cock—is best experienced underwater.” Kyler wiggled his brows, drawing another laugh from Gavin.
The ship was long gone, but Kyler had assured Gavin they could catch up no matter how far it managed to get from them.
“I’d very much like to examine your cock.” Gavin threaded his fingers through Kyler’s hair and pulled him closer. Luckily, Kyler still kept him upright. The waves seemed to help press them closer together and in no time, they were kissing. Kyler moaned and gasped and Gavin had to wonder if all his lovely sounds were his usual reactions—when he had sex for pay—or if the noises were just for him. Gavin hoped they were just for him.
Gavin’s cock plumped, and he wished he’d taken his trousers off before he’d jumped. He pulled them off now, not caring they’d be lost to the sea. Who needed modesty, anyway?
Kyler threw his head back, exposing his beautiful, elegant neck. Gavin peppered his chest with kisses, drawing more moans from the merman as water splashed in Gavin’s face, but he didn’t care.
“Touch me here.” Kyler directed Gavin’s hand to a slit where his cock would be were he human.
Gavin followed the seam of the hole while watching Kyler’s face. Those beautiful lashes fluttered as his head went back again.
“You’re really sensitive here, aren’t you?”
“You have no idea.” Kyler thrusted against Gavin’s hand, seeking more friction.
Haze surrounded them, but Kyler had insisted Gavin wear his pendant. He realized the pendant tempered the haze, but didn’t take it away entirely. The haze was a merfolk ability, not quite magic, which is why his pendant never registered it. And Kyler never purposely wanted to use it against him, another reason the pendant never alerted Gavin.
Kyler wrapped his hand around Gavin’s and pressed their fingers against the slit until Gavin’s forefinger sank inside the warm wetness. Kyler gasped. His hips bucked. Gavin didn’t know how Kyler kept them upright while he writhed.
“You’re wet.” The fact shocked Gavin.
“Uh huh.” Kyler kept rocking his hips, the tip of his cock pressed against Gavin’s finger. “Wait. Don’t move.” Kyler pressed Gavin’s palm to the slit to keep his cock from sliding out.
Kyler’s lips were swollen from their kissing. His face flushed from his arousal. Gills flared out from his throat. Gavin wanted to give this man everything, and he didn’t care if Kyler was using some merfolk magic on him that made him want to keep him.
“Will you fuck me?”
Gavin’s brain blanked as his cock hardened to full mast painfully. “We can do that? Like this?”
Kyler nodded. “I’ve never done it in merform, but...”
“You trust me.” Dear skies, what had Gavin done to deserve such a sweet merman?
“You haven’t taken advantage of me. Not once.”
