At the sound of his shaky voice the creature's head tilted to the side, a clicking sound coming from it as it leaning a little closer, sniffing at him. 

"So no English then, ok. Bloody hell I'm insane why am I sitting here attempting to talk to a monster."

The dark form chuckled, causing Laurence to jolt in surprise. It looked at him for a few minutes before opening its mouth. Laurence winced at the display of razor sharp teeth but before he could dwell on it, the creature spoke.

"What is your name, little human?"

Laurence marveled at the sound of it's voice. Deep and gravely with disuse, it rumbled and washed over him, like the waters below the dock lapped at the posts, and Laurence couldn't help but shiver as he felt it all the way down to his toes.

"L...Laurence. What is your name?"

"Laurence," The creature repeated his name, the sound of him saying it causing Laurence to shiver again. "My name would not be possible for you to say in your language. If I was to shorten it and translate it, it would be Thijs in your tongue."

Laurence inhaled shakily before murmuring the name lowly. It felt odd, unnatural, like whatever he had spoken was filled with power. He watched the creature's eyes darken at the sound of his given name and nearly gasped out loud as a low rumble came from them, practically making the god damn air vibrate.

"Well...are you a Mer?"

Thijs flashed a razor sharp smile that had an odd heat pooling in Laurence's belly before bowing his head in a small nod. Then he slowly dragged himself closer to Laurence,  slick scales sliding against the wooden planks until they were practically sharing the same breath. 

Laurence felt something wild in his chest break free, telling him to runrunrundon'tlookback as the creature, Thijs, leaned even closer. Their nose almost touching the side of his neck as they inhaled deeply, exhaling with an odd purr-like sound.

"You smell good enough to eat, little human. Will you join me in my waters?"

Large clawed hands wrapped around Laurence's hips, gently guiding him closer. There was no mistaking the pull of magic on his mind this time and Laurence quickly resisted the pull, squirming frantically in the Mer's grasp.

Laurence made a noise of scared frustration, glaring up at Thijs as he tried to pull the hands off of his hips. The Mer's head cocked to the side, dark gaze taking him in with significantly more amusement and approval than before.

The clawed hands released Laurence and he scrambled backwards, pushing his mild disappointment at the loss of the warmth down.

"Don't do that."

"Don't do what, little human?"

"You know what. It is rude."

This earned Laurence a full on laugh from the deadly creature before him, and it was quite possibly the most beautiful sound he had ever heard.  But he would not let the otherworldly beauty distract him from the truth. He was walking on a thin line in the presence of a monster that should have eaten him already.

"Why am I alive? I am no fool, your kind is not known for making friends with humans."

Thijs slid ever closer, making Laurence lose the distance he had gained. Gods above, how big was this creature? His tail was still over the edge of the dock.

Thijs made another one of those purring sounds as he inhaled Laurence's scent again, though not as close to his neck as before. He pulled back only barely, still very much in Laurence's personal space as that intoxicating voice washed over him again.

"Perhaps you are a special case."

Laurence snorted at that. "Right. A special case. I don't supposed this "special case" means I can-!"

Laurence nearly jumped out of his own skin when an abnormally long and hot tongue licked his neck and those large hands returned.  It was all he could do to keep from shamelessly moaning.  The edge of sharp teeth against his skin had him shivering and leaning closer, hips squirming as a low growl rumbled out of Thijs and those large hands started to slide up and under his shirt.

Everywhere the Mer touched and licked tingled and burned, pulling noises from Laurence that he didn't even know he could make.

The sound of voices in the distance had Laurence jerking back and jumping up, breathing heavy as he locked eyes with Thijs once more before turning and bolting back down the ramp, toward the voices and away from the displeased hiss behind him.

He hit the sand and ran as fast as he could to the two figures walking along the beach and calling his name.

When he finally reached them he jerked to a stop, leaning on his knees and panting and his Second and John stared at him in concern. His Second walked closer, handing him a canteen of water that he greedily started gulping down.

"Are you alright lad? You disappeared on us."

Laurence nearly choked on the water as he thought about exactly what had been happening between him and a certain man eating monster just moments ago.

"Y...yes Sir. I was just exploring!''

Laurence did not like the look John was giving one bit, it was a look full of suspicions. The Second just nodded, accepting his excuse and muttering something about needing to sleep as he turned and started leading them back to their hosts.

Laurence tried to ignore John's eyes drilling holes into the side of his head and the tingling of his skin from where Thijs had touched and licked.

Mom would kill me if she was here
