There was no way he’d be able to take Kyler’s entire cock, but Gavin savored what he could, using his hands to massage the length. Used his his fingers to rub the slit.
More clicks before Kyler hauled him up by the horns to press kisses to his lips. Kyler’s gills moved so fast. Gulping and gulping in the sea. Gavin’s fingers kept playing with that wet hole, sliding his fingers around the cock.
Kyler’s mouth fell open and Gavin stole a kiss.
“I’m close,” Kyler said. The sound hardly made it to Gavin.
Gavin nuzzled against Kyler’s neck. “Can I taste you this way?”
Kyler nodded and pushed away enough that Gavin was face to face with mer-cock again. He darted his tongue out again and twitched his thumb at the slit. Kyler grabbed him by the horns again and cum floated over Gavin’s tongue.
Skies. Sweet cream in the salty sea. Gavin drank it in, knowing he’d have regrets later and didn’t care.
They floated in each other’s orbits until Gavin rushed up to hold a trembling Kyler. The merman blinked, and a pearl rolled down his cheek. Gavin caught it before it could float away. Kyler folded Gavin’s fingers around the pearl. Gavin knew what the pearl meant. Merfolk could cry healing pearls, but only when they were distressed in merform.
Before Gavin could give Kyler a questioning look, the man pressed his fingers to Gavin’s lips and shook his head with a sad smile. He leaned in close. “Nothing you did. Everything was perfect.” Another pearl dropped, and Kyler scooped it towards Gavin.
Chapter 22
Goodexperiencesdidnotpurify Kyler, but they helped cover the old. The last time someone had been in his slit, he’d been waterboarded and violated. Too young to understand it was wrong. It was Kyler’s choice this time.
Kyler loved being in the water with Gavin. His heart missed swimming with others. The last time was with his parents. But all good things came to an end. Clutching the pearls, Gavin’s eyes widened, and he pointed to the surface. Luckily, they weren’t so deep Gavin would need to take it slowly to the surface, so Kyler wrapped his arm around him and pushed him topside as fast as he could.
Gavin coughed and sputtered as the gills sank back into his skin. By the position of the sun, Gavin had had gills for about two hours. Not a lot of time. Gavin gasped as his body pushed the water from his lungs, just like Kyler’s did.
“How was it?” Kyler asked once Gavin had settled.
“Are you okay?” Gavin brushed hair from Kyler’s face.
“I’m fine. But seriously, how was it for you? Aside from the—” Kyler waved his hand around. “—Part of clearing your lungs.”
“Amazing.”
Kyler lifted a brow.
“Okay, it was terrifying, but once I could breathe again, it was amazing. Thank you.” Gavin pulled him closer and pressed a perfect kiss to his lips. “Now we should head back to the ship and I wasn’t thinking how we’d get you shifted. Do you need sand on your tail, or just anywhere works? Have you shifted while still in the water?”
“Vex told me I needed sand on my tail and head, but I’ve never tried without scrubbing a bit on my tail.” Because he was too afraid to see how many lies Vex had told him over his life.
“What if we try a new way? Your parents’ journal mentioned they just needed sand, not that it had to be rubbed into your tail or hair. Maybe if you just hold a handful, it could work?”
“I’ll try.” It’d be better than shifting on the deck of the ship with an audience while he slowly suffocated. “But for now, let’s head back. Wrap your legs around my waist so you don’t hinder my tail.”
Gavin laughed, and Kyler couldn’t help the smile. “I guess I’ll be riding a merman today.”
“Fastest way to make it to the ship.” Kyler shrugged, not at all ashamed he just wanted to show off.
Kyler presented his back. Gavin wrapped his arms under Kyler’s shoulders to keep from choking him, then Gavin’s long legs locked together around his waist.
“Like this?”
“Perfect.” Though Gavin’s heels might end up making Kyler come if they rubbed him too much.
Kyler had to swim at the surface, but he couldn’t stop the waves from crashing into Gavin, causing him to sputter.
“Sorry. Try to angle your head to the side. Relax.”
Kyler sped through the water. He could still hear the drone of the ship ahead. It hadn’t gotten too far from them, thankfully. He loved Gavin’s weight on his back. Loved the feel of companionship. The desire for each of them to learn from each other.
