Short story about the complicated love of a man and a merman

Taylor is a sweet little thing, cute as a button and a real people person. He is a dutiful Grandson who went into business with his maternal Grandparents and kept himself busy by modernizing their Café and Bakery in their little corner of the city. Je t'aime Café was one of the oldest of the Small Businesses on Cameron Ave. Taylor's Grandparents traveled to America from France as a young married couple and both had worked in Hotel Restaurants as trained Pastry Chefs until they saved up enough money to open their own Bakery. Over the years the Café not only offered the most mouthwatering pastry and baked goods, they also served lunches to locals, and their aromatic coffee creations rivaled the Mega Chain Stores. They have also gone on the World Wide Web offering their Wedding Cake services and made to order specialty cakes and pastries. Then one day a pixie like young woman came into the shop and inquired about their Wedding Cakes and she brought her surly Big Brother, Evan Stone with her. Taylor took one look at the mountain of a man and felt the almost immediately he felt the painful jab of Cupid's arrow as it pierced his fluttering heart. He was the same piece of eye candy that owned the Motorcycle Shop almost directly across the street from the Café, and Taylor had spent many a day with his nose pressed up against the glass in hopes of getting a glimpse of the muscular Sex God. He quickly realized that if he wanted to get the man to finally notice him, Taylor was going to have his work cut out for him. He was going to find a way to convince the big jaded man that there was something out there called Love and that it truly existed on this mortal plane. Read Evan and Taylor's love story and come to see how Evan found his heart's content.

But in the remote town she's fled to, she finds that British heartthrob Frederick Asherton is not only filming a movie in town, he's landed himself on her exam table.

But when the relationship gets serious, can Lucy stand living in the public eye, even if Frederick gets down on his knee and begs her to share his life? **NOTE: This story is intended for readers 18+ as it contains sexual content intended for adult audiences** Another note: I started writing this story early in 2014. At that time, the movie mentioned in this story was still just a book. I thought I was writing about a movie that wasn't real. I'm leaving it, though, because there are some movie-related bits of my story that I really like. I hope you do too!

Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she's left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be-perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he's incredibly sexy. He's everything she's ever looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title-someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it. He's finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he's ever known, and before he knows it, he's in love. But Veronica's not having it-the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men-something that would make him crazy. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.
