Hayden
New Tortuga is ahead of me, but the little one who kept asking, "Are we there yet?" a billion times is now napping in the nape of my neck.
I huff a laugh.
Natasha isn't a cute sleeper. She has bent one leg by the knee while her other leg whips against my neck while I swim. Her foot keeps kicking me, reminding me of her presence in case the snoring wasn't enough.
Still, my heart is cracking open a little, despite my best efforts to keep it closed from Natasha. She doesn't treat me differently when I transform, and that's everything to me. The little one is quickly infiltrating my mind, but I will not open up to her fully until I'm one hundred percent convinced she won't leave me.
There are still so many things she doesn't know about me.
Tide sighs heavily. 'I understand your concern, but chances are Natasha won't care even if she finds out the things that make us... Well, a merman.'
I dismiss Tide's words and crawl up on the bea
HaydenI'm in a terrible mood, lost and disappointed. Natasha looked at me as if I were a monster set on earth when Roger shot me. Her breathing ceased when I took that bullet, and every inch of me felt as if I had bled out in the sand.I survived the shot, but the thoughts written on her face hurt more than the actual bullet.Ugh, I knew Natasha was trouble. I hate being a merman already, and her frightened eyes wrecked me from within—what is the point in having a mate if they fear you?Fuck Natasha.Fuck Love.Fuck life.And fuck Vivian and the sex music blasting out from the windows. I grit my teeth as I storm inside the building to find Vivian moaning while a young man is between her legs.Really?In the fucking lounge?!"Oh, yes!"Vivian is lying in the red velvet chaise lounge, dressed in her white see-through nightgown, and her eyes travel to the back of her head as she moans again. Blonde hair
Natasha "Please." My eyelashes flicker up to the dark skies while I'm down on my hands and knees. I've never begged for anything in my life, never once wanted something so badly that I couldn't stop my body from shaking. But I'm trembling right now, eyebrows furrowing in torment as I look up at the giant merman peering down at me. His lips form a dark, seductive smirk, and my brain is so fevered I can't think, can't focus on anything else other than having his tongue between my legs. Cropped pants are leaving my lips, and that's when the merman's self-control snaps like a rope. Hayden dips down his head, gently sucking my legs into his mouth with hunger in his ocean-blue eyes. His warm breath catches onto my skin, and I whimper slightly in a purely physical response to his tongue running further up my thighs. I inhale. "Oh-my-god..." My pussy is clenching with need, and the merman lifts his head from the beach, making me sink f
Natasha After eating a big pancake breakfast together with Roger, I leave the blue dragon egg tucked between my bedsheets before heading outside to explore New Tortuga. Hayden can wait. I need to focus on myself, but to do that, I have to take care of a slight problem—my female hormones and my horniness. Therefore, I search through the pirate town until finding a bookstore. Every house is built of wood, and the colors are flaky, yet I feel at home on this island. Even the bookstore gives me an inviting spirit as I enter it. The bell above the door makes a sound, and I wave at the older man standing behind the desk as I enter the dusty old bookstore. "Good morning!" "Ah, a customer! How exciting!" The man pushes his glasses further up his nose and tilts his head at me. His hair is whiter than snow, while his skin is tanned from staying outside for too long. "Anything, in particular, you're looking for?" I nod at him, loo
NatashaAfter the initial shock of running into Hayden wore off, I hurried to find his hotel on top of the cliff of New Tortuga.The ocean lies behind the hotel, and a cobblestone path leads up to the grand, white building. Cottages inhabit the sides of the road, and I passed many glaring pirates on the way here."Okay." I take a deep breath. "Time to convince the CEO that I'm worth hiring as his cleaning lady."I walk inside the magnificent building with burning confidence coursing through my veins. My back is held straight, and for a moment, I feel good about myself. Sadly, I instantly lose my ability to breathe when I notice the fancy people inside.Jesus Christ.What am I doing here?I don't belong here. I wear rags, my black captain hat with a skull, and other clothes with holes in them, while the other guests carry expensive dresses and monocles.Shit.Everywhere I turn, the lounge is filled with people as tall as
Natasha I watch Hayden put on his clothes, aware of my flaring heartbeat. When his dark eyelashes flicker down to mine, I feel lightning surge in my veins. He offers me a smile too wolfish to be friendly, and the desire to touch him turns almost painful. What the hell is wrong with me? Whenever I look at him, it's like my body gets overwhelmed by a fever. Hayden Archer is in my dreams and sweet reveries, and slowly but surely, he is taking over my mind. Hayden's lips part while his hands are closing the buttons on his suit. "I'm supposed to be holding a speech outside in the garden—come and listen to it. I think you will find the conversation rather interesting." "What are you supposed to talk about?" His smile widens, and his eyes glimmer in the dark. "I won't tell you anything. Find out by yourself." With those words, the man leaves me alone. Hayden hurries down the stairs, and after many minutes of blinking and recovering fr
Vivian Past I'm enjoying the evening in the company of two best friends and hoping Hayden won't come down to join us. I find it tiresome how Tiffany deems it appropriate to touch my husband. I might not love Hayden—he is a monster, but I can still ride him if I ignore the circumstances. Because as fucked up as it is, my once hideous husband has turned into a snack. Hayden is hot. And he is also my slave. Jessica cuts into her fish before whispering. "I'm glad you had an abortion to get rid of the monster daughter in your womb, but don't tell Hayden the truth—he needs to be guilt-ridden to stay by your side, and girl, in this crazy world, you need him." I laugh and lift my glass to my lips, smearing it with red lipstick as I down my cocktail. I'm not worried about Hayden. The foolish man is wrapped around my finger. "Don't worry, Hayden won't leave me—the poor bastard tried to commit suicide two days ago, and right now,
Hayden My head isn't in the right place tonight. I'm feeling hurt and betrayed by the gods for picking me this fantastic mate and then making her so terribly afraid of me. I understand that I'm not a human, and yes, I have some aggressive tendencies. My mood shifts a hundred times a day. I'm bad at keeping my temper. I yell, and I fight. I'm huge and still growing every day—I'm a freak of nature, capable of destroying ships and men alike, but I would never physically hurt Natasha! Natasha, fuck, when did I even fall for her? It wasn't love at first sight—it was more like head-first into a pole and unable to think straight for days. She occupies all my thoughts, and every time she looks my way, my insides turn into mush. My entire being belongs to Natasha, the gorgeous, clever woman who makes me laugh and hope for a brighter future. She blows my mind whenever she talks. She is brave, fierce when needed, and when she bites her bottom lip and sizes me up
NatashaIt broke my heart to see Hayden kiss that other woman earlier, but I guess it was inevitable.Hayden told me he was married, and the gorgeous blonde seemed like someone he would date and cherish. They both looked like two supermodels making out, and I'm having difficulty believing Hayden would get invested in someone like me.I'm not pretty.Neither am I wealthy nor successful.What do I even have to offer?I'm funny—I think that's my only good quality.Meanwhile, Hayden is older than me, and he has had a career that he is still trying to retain. He has more life experience than me. He spent his money building hotels and making a family while I was orphaned and raised by pirates.What do we even have in common?No way would Hayden pick me. I'm only his sex toy, someone to fool around with for the hell of it."Nice weather, isn't it?"Oh, right—I'm on a date.I pass Nick a forced s
