” We know you were the one heralding the curse. We also know you entered our territories while being chased by the sinister grudge of the cursed wolf Jin. ” The queen filled in for Mia’s silence. ” However you can be at total ease. These waters are a sanctuary and here you can be at peace. The waters of our Southern sea is deeper than it seems. It harbours all life source of all the territories. Nothing can tress pass without our knowledge or leave. It might pester you anywhere else you might be, but here, surely safe you will be. ”
Lin had been a prince for quite a long time. He had been an active participant in strategic politics and war. It didn’t take him long to figure it out that the queen was headed for a barter. She was offering her end of the deal. Mia had to offer the other.
” As a mer-princess, you aught to know about our deepest secrets. Secrets that cannot be divulged infront of outsiders. But guessing from the fact that you knew about your mermaid ancestry only recently, I guess Crystal has kept you in the dark. ” The queen made a look of dejection.
Mia had the perfect opportunity to play along. She didn’t want her secret divulged.
“I am afraid my lady, my mother kept me ignorant. But Lin is no outsider. He is my lawfully wedded husband. If is there something to be known, I think it wouldn’t be a mistake. You can tell about it to us. We swear it will be as if we couldn’t hear. ” Mia tried pushing it a bit hard.
” I will. With time. The two of you may take your leave. I have prepared a room for you two in my castle. Be my guest for awhile. ” The queen snatched her rings and seven mermaids in waiting came to fetch Mia and Lin.
They bowed their way around the Hall as they took their leave.
” Don’t you think it’s weird, ” Lin whispered in Mia’s ear.
” What? ” Mia whispered back.
” The way they keep staring at us, ” Lin pointed.
” Hhmm, probably because you keep staring back, ” Mia nudged Lin at the stomach as he held Mia by her hips, ” What are you doing? ” She protested a bit embarrassed. Lin pulled her close and whispered in her ears, ” I think because there doesn’t seem to be any male around. I bet their hormones are running wild to see somebody as dashing as me. ”
Mia did not get angry or teased, as Lin had hoped. Instead, she grabbed Lin’s hands and paddled faster towards the room given to them. She bowed at the seven attendees when they reached the gate. She pushed Lin inside and then shut the gate.
Lin tumbled on the bed that she had pushed him on and with a wicked smile, said ” Wow! Mia. Take it slow. Did I make your hormone s tide too? ”
Mia had a weird expression on her face, ” Lin listen to me carefully. This is not a joke. I repeat Lin. Don’t go joking about mates here. And this is the best kept secret for the mer-witches survival. You have no idea what they do with them, ” Mia was literally sitting on Lin’s lap as she brought his ears close to her mouth, ” They survive by sacrificing their boys after successfully mating with them. And only the queen has that privilege. But get it out of your head right now, because mer-witches can get inside your head. They would not let you go if they found out you knew even the slightest about that. You need to forget what I just told you. You must. I just told you because I wanted you safe… ” Lin closed Mia’s mouth with his hand. He slowly turned her around and went over her and he crossed his legs beside her, ” Ssshhhh! Relax Mia. I kind of get what you said. We once had a hunch about accumulation of dark energies in the southern sea. We can talk about it when we go out. But if you want to get my mind of it, you need to compensate with something else. ” His eyes changed colours as Mia’s heart danced with glee. She slowly slid her hand under his dress and pulled it our cheerfully.
She wrapped her arms around Lin’s neck and pulled herself up and whispered in his ears, ” Shall we then continue what we were doing?”
Lin parted his lips at her neck, baring his fangs as he bit deep. Then said, ” Do you even need my permission for this? ”
Mia pulled him closer digging her nails at his back. Lin promptly took the clue and ripped Mia’s clothes open. The water sparkled as it touched her bare skin. Lin slid his one hand supporting her back and caressed the tip of her breast with the other. Mia bit Lin’s nipples as she her body turned up and down like a wave. Lin slowly brought his lips close to her busts and let it do the rest. Mia grabbed on tighter at his hair as she started emitting a bluish liquid, all around the place.
” Mia what’s happening? ” Lin asked letting her go for a moment. Mia pulled him back to the spot he was working on and said, “I don’t know. Just carry on like I say. ”
Lin needed no reminding anymore. Their warm bodies, intertwined in each other, pumping with a silent beat. As the glow around Mia kept radiating Mia noticed, something of a crimson hue, behind Lin’s end. Mia peaked over Lin’s shoulder as she kept holding his butt in her hand. A faint, crimson hue had formed something behind Lin, that looked very much like a tail. Mia smiled as she pulled him harder back on herself.
” Do you like it that much or is there something else to want to tell me, ” Lin whispered keeping up the pace.
” It’s just being our true selves that feels the best, ” Mia whispered back before locking Lin’s mouth with her wet and wild tongue. Tangling themselves further and the crimson and blue burnt.
