paradise

Chapter 13

" What's that supposed to mean?" Damien asked with annoyance. Malik became angry throwing a glare at my sister. She quickly ran out of the room mumbling something about chores.

" nothing .... He is not yours ... he may have accepted you but he was never yours. He is to be married to Charles and that is final. You are from two different worlds. You have no idea the pressure on us mers. The human world is a mess and no place for a boy like Rainey."

Malik was breathing hard after his rant and I couldn't help but feel angry.

" I can decide for MYSELF. I am an adult. I have followed everything everyone has said and done whatever to be the best I could be. I just want one thing to myself...." I grew quieter the longer I went on. " No guys have looked at me. No one sees me. No one at the castle took a second glance or cared... my own fiancé didn't even want me ...." By the end, I felt deflated and only notice my tears when the wet droplets hit my bare legs.

When can I be happy?.... Maybe I was right happiness isn't something I can get...

I need space the air here is too ... ugh I don't know the word. I walked out of the room not caring to glance back even when Damien called my name. I needed space. I needed the water.

I jumped and shifted mid-air. My legs were bound together so my tail could form. As I hit the water I felt better. I swam in circles and only swam away when an anchor was dropped down.

I swam and swam until I found some friends to play with. Some dolphins and a few fish danced to the waves. For hours I used my powers to form pretty rain droplets and air to move the waves. This... This was home. Maybe Malik was right maybe the sea is where I belong.

I sat on a rock with a smooth edge and ran the small growing seaweed between my fingers. Everyone was making this a big deal. I see the consequences with Damien, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Better than staying with a man who I'm forced to be with. It was a lesser of two evils.

Poseidon why give us these human emotions to love?... this love hurts because I know I will have to choose ...

I looked up and realized it was getting dark so I swam back the way I came until I could see the boat in my view. I stopped and cleared my head and left one thought.

I can have land and sea ... I can choose Damien ... after all, he is the one I love. 

Dragging my tired body back on the boat I was met by Damien's warm embrace and a worried sister. 

" Where have you been?! we were worried sick..."

My tired smile seem to stop her worrying enough to give me a hug. I miss this from my sister she always knew what I needed and when I needed it. she supported me always.

" I just needed to think and feel a bit of home." She nodded and let me go clearing her throat with a more composed nature. 

" Malik left to tell father you were safe. He also promised not to tell what was going on...." she paused and looked a bit more lost in thought. " He looked a bit too calm... he won't mean harm, but he is planning something... I can feel it."

I sighed as Damien picked me up walking back to our room. I looked back to my sister and smiled at the soft proud look on her face that seemed aimed at her captain.

No words were spoken as Damien helped dry my hair and body. suddenly he looked up from where he was kneeling on the bed. I was shy and looked down to play with the bedding I sat on.

" Little one ... Rainey... I...I want to fight for you. I don't deserve you." I looked up at him quickly search his eyes for what... I wasn't sure. my mouth opened but he quieted me with a gentle kiss.

"I don't deserve you. You are someone beautiful who the heavens above created. I ...You make me feel.....different. I have always been so confident and I have proof that I should be proud and stand tall of my accomplishments, but... you make me feel undeserving. It's not bad no no not all. you make me realize I am human and the feeling of love is possible. I won't force you.....I won't.....a choice ... no" He looked down and stood up walking to his closet for new clothes. looking away he sounded so vulnerable with his next words.

"Please choose me."

I stood up as he stood still starring into his closet, mind lost elsewhere. Sheading my cloth as I approached, I wrapped my arm around him holding him close.

" I've already chosen you." 

He turned then with a flame in his eyes I couldn't quite place as his eyes took in my body. Those eyes. They rolled over my body making me feel hot. soon his hands replaced his eyes and I let out a whimper as his rough calloused hands ran down my spine. 

Suddenly I was picked up and thrown on the bed my back bouncing a bit with the force. He grasped my chin forcing me to look into his heated eyes. 

"Mine"

Damien's lips found mine and we fell into a heated rhythm. His tastes and touches had me hot and I melted like lava in his hands. Those hands grabbed my thighs and pulled them wide as his cock slid on mine. He pulled away and watched our cock glide against each other in our own slick. 

"P-Please..." I looked up meeting Damien's eyes pleading for him. anything... I just wanted him. I wanted to fly.  He gripped my thighs tighter pulling them together and swinging my calves over his shoulder.

His thick cock slid between my thighs and brushed my own making me moan out grabbing anything I could. I could only look down imagining his cock inside me. Fucking me till we both came...

My moans grew louder and his thrusts sloppier. Soon I was crying out Damiens name over and over. His eyes were dark as he moaned out his release over my stomach. 

My eyes were so heavy I couldn't eyes keep them open. I heard Damien in the distance saying something I couldn't quite hear. Soon I was swallowed up by darkness with a smile on my face.
