Existence Of Love [Harry Styles Fanfiction/A Mermaid Tale]

15. Tranced

Travis' eyelids fell in a droop, looking completely dazed, a stupid smirk playing at his lips.

"Again." He whispered.

"Travis."

He giggled and I shook my head, laughing at him.

"Even your laugh is beautiful."

He swam closer and I felt my scales brush against his legs repeatedly as I let movements into the strong muscles to keep my head easily above water.

I roughed out my voice again, thinking Travis had enough. "Okay, we are done with that."

"No, no. Keep going, baby." His arm came around my waist, pulling himself closer to me.

"Travis, that's enough."

"No, I want to hear more, Evanjaline. Please."

My hands came to his chest in a attempt to push him away, but his arms were secured around me. Travis bit his lip, looking down at mine.

"No, now let go." I couldn't help but know that this was my fault and I shouldn't be angry with how he was handling it. I shouldn't have done it, but maybe if we experiment with it we can find out why it's even a quality for my kind.

For what purpose do we have to want to trance a human?

He leaned his face in close and I turned my head before he could plant his lips on mine, letting him connect with my cheek.

"Travis, control it. I know you can."

He pulled away, looking into my eyes. "I don't want to."

"You said you could. I never took you for someone who would fail or give up."

"I'm not."

"Prove it. Control yourself and let go of me."

"Maybe later." He leaned in quickly and connected his lips to mine, making me groan in protest. When our lips met, mine bumped against my teeth from the quick and fierce impact and I could now taste a bit of blood.

"Travis." I mumbled, trying to pull away.

One of his strong arms still had me from around my waist, the other coming up behind my neck to hold me in place. His tongue slid out to push past my lips and he moaned loudly, grinding his body into the kiss.

My eyes were opened and I see his were closed. What am I supposed to do? The last time, I slapped him. I won't get a good push in there to be able to slap him that way again.

Something popped into my mind and I placed my hands on his shoulders, pulling him under water with me. His lips were still working on mine and I let my hands float to my sides, letting him do what ever he wanted until he realizes he can't breathe.

The motions of his lips ceased after a few seconds and he pulled away, staring at me in shock.

Travis looked up, looking at the surface that was only a couple feet above our heads. I hooked my arms under his and swam upwards, breaking the surface with him.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." He gushed after taking in a few deep breaths.

"Never again."

"Maybe another time." He smiled.

I shook my head. "You lost your board."

"What?!" He spinned in the water, looking around us. "No, that's my new board! I loved that thing!"

I rolled my eyes. "Stay here."

I ducked back under water and moved quickly, flicking my tail more forcefully to catch the stray surf board. It was a bit far out, Travis never would've been able to find it.
