No Prey, No Pay

Chapter 6

Aoi snapped his head towards the voice and looked up at Reita in all his glory -again-.

The captain was standing in front of the bed, a towel draped on his now naked shoulders and a big roll of bandages in one hand "w-what are you doing like that?!" Aoi shouted, ripping his eyes off of him.

Reita rolled his eyes, still grinning "Don't answer a question with a question, fishy boy... you're rolling all over my bed making it all slimy with that tail of yours" the blond sat down, looking how Aoi flinched backwards, almost falling off the mattress.

The captain took the bandages and after uncoiling them a little he started shifting the sheets, searching underneath "w-wait! No! Stop it, what...!?" Aoi started to wriggle.

He could still feeling his erection poking in the soft, silky fabric and even he felt anxious and scared, the sole image of a shirtless, still wet Reita was making him short of breath.

Or maybe was because the sheets were covering his gills "hey, easy Princey! I just... wanna heal your tail wound a little! C'mon stay still!" Reita fought with him relentlessly, the merman totally freaking out while the human was almost tying himself to his tail with the bandages.

Aoi gritted his teeth and after being able do wiggle out of the cocoon made of sheets, he slapped Reita right across his face with his bigger fin, making him fall on the floor with a groan "what the fuck-?!"

"STOP TOUCHING ME!"

The shrieking yell that Aoi let out, for once, froze Reita on the spot: it was not like the other times he shouted at him with his noble and thunderous voice, it was like the cry of an endangered animal.

The blond sat up looking at the merman still on the bed and saw his figure heaving through his teeth, free of the sheets, and one arm was wrapped around his flushed chest "stop...touching" he murmured again "stop touching me with...your fucking hot hands! I... I hate warmth...I hate... I..." his voice crumbled there, on itself.

His eyes were closed shut, but what shocked Reita was his expression: Aoi wasn't agry, not like before at least, but his knitted brows were the cherry on top of the cake that were his bright red cheekbones.

What was he so flustered about?

Reita would make a snarky comeback at him but his eyes wandered down on his trembling chest and when he stumbled across the first little fins a palm under his navel, he just felt his own lungs deflate.

"T-Two...?"

The amazement of that discovery slowly made a grin appear on Reita's lips "so the dear Prince has troubles with his intimacy?" he bantered the merman, that tried to give him his back "you're the...the one talking...!" Aoi sulked, while all the stimuli he was receiving were making his head spin.

The heavy scent of Reita, the soft touch of the sheets, his scorching hands on him, his weight pinning him down before.

A laugh surprised Aoi and he turned to see Reita's face too much closer to him "I never expected you to be such a lewd mermaid" the blond whispered right into his ear, showing his teeth in a knowing grin.

Aoi shivered for the sole contact of his hot breath against his skin and he then looked into his black, mesmerizing eyes, his face completely gone mad for the pleasure he was trying to gulp down.

He wouldn't never... do something like that with the pirate, never...

But when the thought popped into Aoi's mind, the possibilities of letting himself be pillaged by the pirate on that bed, the images of what could be...
