Kaito
Cassie. It fits her perfectly.
I toss her name around in my head, loving how it makes me feel.
I look down at her tucked into my side, asleep. The sight brings a smile to my face.
I didn't think that I'd be in this position when my father first suggested coming up here. I don't think that I'll have to continue my search for a mate. This human, she's already got a tight grip on my heart.
It's frightening.
Is this how all mates feel? Completely captivated?
I brush a strand of hair off of her face, sighing as I do so. Her reaction to me being a merman was quite surprising. I was expecting her to freak out, but she didn't. She remained calm and collected even though it must have shocked the hell out of her. What's more is the fact that she let me make her orgasm, not that I'm complaining.
Her pussy is insane. Even with my fingers, she was still tight as hell. Shit, the things that I want to do to her pussy. I bet it's as pretty as her face. I can't wait to have my face down there, fucking her with my tongue. The thought makes me groan as my dick swells.
Dirty thoughts wreak havoc in my mind as all of the things I'll do to her flash in my mind. I'd love to fuck her against every surface in her apartment. We'd leave no spot untouched.
With a throbbing dick, I gently slide away from Cassie and stand up. I lay her down on the couch, tucking one of the pillows under her head before I start searching for her bathroom.
It ends up being in her bedroom and I leave the door cracked before I make my way to her bathroom. I turn the lights on and don't even bother looking around. I just head straight to the shower and turn the water on before taking off my clothes and stepping in.
I rest my arm against the wall of the shower before reaching my right hand down to my dick and giving it a rough squeeze. Picturing Cassie, I wrap my hand around the base and start pumping at a slow rhythm. I imagine Cassie naked, legs spread wide with me pumping in and out of her at a fast pace. I groan at the visual and pump myself faster.
I try to imagine what it would be like if she were in here with me right now. I'd have her on her knees with her pretty little mouth sucking my dick like it's her favorite candy. God, I'd kill to be balls deep in her throat right now.
I keep pumping myself to the fantasy of Cassie giving me head, panting and moaning her name as the hot water beats against my back. I don't care about Cassie waking up and finding me jerking off to her, if anything, I'd make my fantasies a reality. And afterwards, I'd have her on my face. Where she belongs.
I feel my balls tightening before I squirt hot jets of cum onto the shower wall, releasing one last moan of Cassie's name.
I lean my other arm up against the wall, trying to catch my breath. I want her so bad that I can't think of anything else. From the little time I've spent with her, I can tell that she's one hell of a woman. But what if it's all an act?
I turn the shower off and step out, drying myself before placing my clothes back on. I take my fingers through my hair and head back to where I left Cassie. I know some part of me should feel bad about masturbating to her in her own shower, but I don't. Not at all. I'd rather have my cum inside of her for all of eternity, but I've got to pursue her in a humane way.
I'm not worried about the merfolk trying to get a taste of her, it's the humans that have rage boiling up inside of me. Especially that guy that had her in his arms.
"Just friends my ass," I mutter.
I scoot Cassie over to where there is enough space for me to fit on the couch with her. I slip in beside her and wrap my arms tightly around her. She hums in content before snuggling in closer to my chest. I place a kiss on her hairline before closing my eyes, willing sleep to take me away.

I wake up hours later to something tickling my nose. I open my eyes slightly to look at the source of the tickling to see a mop of blonde hair covering half of my face. I brush the hair away and turn my head slightly to see Cassie's forehead. She has her head tucked against the crook of my neck, making it to where that is all that is visible. I can feel her nose and lips pressed against the underside of my chin. I look further and find that we somehow switched our positions while we were asleep to where Cassie is laying on top of me.
I curl my arms around her and stroke the back of her head. I feel her eyelids flutter against my skin seconds before I hear a small moan. She moves her head back slightly and gazes at me with sleep clouded eyes.
"Kaito?" She scrunches her face in confusion.
"Peaches," I say before kissing her nose. "How did you sleep?"
"Why are we laying like this?" She starts to get off of me, leaving me missing her warmth. I frown at her before pushing myself up.
"Why are you acting like it's a big deal?"
"It is a big deal! Oh my god, I'm a whore!" She brings her hands to her head and starts pacing. "We just met! You don't know me and I don't know you!"
"First of all," I stand up and grab her arms, stopping her pacing, "never call yourself a whore again," I growl. "Second of all, it doesn't matter that we just met. If it feels right, then why fight it? We can get to know each other along the way."
She looks down our feet and starts to twist the hem of her shirt. "But you don't even live here, you live in the ocean." She looks up at me with her eyebrows furrowed together, "how could this possibly work?"
"You don't need to worry about that, I'll make it work." I wrap my arms around her and pull her to me, "just trust me. It will work out."
She sighs and plops her head on my chest and wraps her arms around my hips. "This is going too fast. I don't even know you and yet I trust you. Are you sure you're a merman and not a siren?"
"Don't you ever compare me to those vile creatures," I say in disgust.
She quickly moves her head up and her eyes widen in shock, "you're telling me that there are actually sirens?"
"Yes, they are evil bastards and I'll kill any of them that come near you."
"How are they different from the merpeople? Do they have razor sharp teeth?"
"No, those are just tales that you humans have made up over the years to make them sound more horrifying."
"So what is a siren like then?"
"They are like us, except they have used their mana for dark things. We are born with light mana and it changes to dark mana the instant we use it in a harmful way."
"Wow," she releases a deep breath. "So how can you tell if someone is a siren?"
"Our mana is what gives our tails color. Dark mana drains your tail of its color to where it's a hideous gray."
"That sounds... bland"
"It is, it looks sickly."
"Quick question, if I throw water on you will your tail appear?"
I scrunch my face up in confusion, "where the hell did you hear that from?"
"Just a show I used to watch as a kid," she says with a shrug.
"It sounds stupid," I deadpan.
"Hey, watch it Fish Boy. You're just uncultured."
"I am many things Peaches, and uncultured isn't one of them."
"Whatever you say bud," she pats my chest before walking out of my arms.
"Where are you going," I follow after her.
"To get something to eat, it's six o'clock."
"What do you want to eat? I can make you something."
"Do you even know how to cook?"
"Yes, I've been on land before you know."
Her whole body freezes. "I've figured that," she mutters.
She doesn't bother saying more after that. Walking over to the fridge, she opens it with more force than necessary and grabs a carton of eggs and what looks to be milk. She puts them on the counter before grabbing the utensils she needs.
"What's wrong?" Her sudden switch of behavior alarms me.
"Nothing," she cracks the eggs harshly into the bowl. I look at her with a raised brow. She adds in milk before going to the fridge again to grab some shredded cheese. I watch her cautiously as she pours the eggs into a skillet and scrambles them.
She doesn't relax her posture the whole time that she is cooking. What could have happened to make her this angry? I replay our conversation in my head and shake my head when nothing stands out.
She turns the stove off and grabs two plates and forks before placing the eggs in both of them. She hands me one and scowls as she realizes what she did. She sits down and eats in silence.
I flick my eyes up to look at her between every forkful of eggs that I eat. We eat in dead silence and it pains me to say that it's kind of awkward. I finish eating at the same time as she does and she grabs our dishes and goes to the sink without giving me a second thought. I push the barstool I'm seated at back and walk up behind her
I wrap my arms around her waist and rest my chin on her shoulder. She stops washing the dishes for a minute before she goes back to angrily scrubbing them.
"Talk to me Peaches," I kiss her jaw.
"There's nothing to talk about," she shrugs.
"Bullshit, you were fine before we came in here."
"And I'm fine now, so just drop it!"
"Is it because I said that I can cook?" I ask in confusion.
She tries to step away from me but I tighten my arms to keep her in place.
"Let me go Kaito."
"Not until you tell me what's wrong."
"I already told you, nothing is wrong," she grits out.
"And as I told you, bullshit."
She spins around in my arms to where we are facing each other and shoves at my chest. I don't even move an inch, which makes her angrier. We fall into a stare off, neither of us backing down. She glares harder at me and all I do is lift my eyebrow. As I start thinking that this is going to last for a while, she surprises me when she releases and angry sigh and starts talking.
"You've been on land before."
"Wait, that's what you're mad about?" I ask in disbelief. "What's so wrong with that?"
"You know what..."
"No, actually, I don't. Enlighten me."
"Mermaids only come on land to have sex. You said it yourself Kaito!"
I freeze in shock. She thought I was here for sex? I start laughing and it seems to piss her off more.
"Why are you laughing?" She frowns at me.
I stop laughing and place my hand at the back of her head. "The only human who will ever see my dick, is you Peaches." I pull her head towards mine and lower my lips to hers, "I promise," I vow before claiming her lips with my own.
