The merman, my man

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 45

At that point, Dicken had already let go of me. He leaned against the wall with a contented look on his face, his tail playfully swiped across my calves as he stared at me with his slanted eyes.

He was such a scary fellow. He knew what I feared, my weaknesses, and what I needed. That was why the offer he laid out on the negotiation table was so attractive.

Taking into consideration my meeting with him when I was a child, it was like he had weaved a large web to trap me in. Back then, he planted a seed into my subconscious that took root and grew in my mind. He was already like a spider back then as he watched me take step after step, moving deeper into the web he had spun. And by the time I could react, there was no turning back. I couldn't help but think that with his intellect, schemes, and slyness, he must have had intelligence that was on the same level as humans!

I clenched my fists again and took a deep breath. It didn't seem like I had any other choice but to take Dicken's offer and continue my research. But what was the difference between this and selling my body for the sake of scientific research findings?

Might as well sell it to a beast !F*ck! When this thought crossed my mind, I couldn't help but feel irritated. But I couldn't throw a tantrum even if I wanted to. With my naked body currently buried under the sheets, he could suddenly get aroused again...

All I could do was pretend to cooperate to buy some time. If nothing else happened, Laura and the rest should be back the next day. "I agree, "I said in English because I realized he was more fluent in English Then, I added, "You promised me that you'll let me conduct research on you, which means that you can't disturb me and you can't force me to do other things." My face must have been bright red despite pretending to be calm when I spoke.

My mind was filled with the events that had taken place the previous night. I snatched the flashlight from Dicken and pointed it at him and viciously said, "Do you understand what I mean?" "Yes." This reply left his lips without much deliberation.

The satisfaction on his face became more obvious as if had finally gotten away with his crafty scheme. Yes, smile you beast. Let's see how long you can keep that smile up. "Lie down," I strictly ordered while pointing to the glass floor in front of my bed.

Even though I seemed in control, my heart felt faint. We had reached an agreement but will the merman really cooperate? Our differences in strength were too significant, and it was definitely not practical to teach him about human moral standards. But Dicken actually listened to my order. He slid down from my bed and lay down onto the glass floor with his face up. It was the first time his tail was outstretched and relaxed in front of me.

It stretched from the foot of my bed and went down all the way to under the desk. His eyes squinted in his usual expression as he cushioned his head with an arm like a pillow. Even when he listed to my order, he did it so nonchalantly like he was sunbathing. It was only then that I pulled off the blanket and got up from the bed.

As I passed by his body, I fought the urge to kick him. Even I knew that the most crucial matter at hand was to get dressed. As I took some clothes out of the wardrobe, I realized something. All the walls here were made of glass. There wasn't anywhere I could change without him watching. I had no choice but to change within his line of sight!

Even though my back was facing him, I could still feel his eyes glaring into my back. This made me nervous so I quick put on a pant leg. Just when one of my legs entered a pant leg, his tail slid toward me and ticked my ankle.

I was so shocked that I let go of the pants and it fell onto the floor. At that point, I couldn't care less about the pants so I quickly grabbed a lad coat and put it on. "I like you body." Darn it. How did his Japanese become that fluent?
