The Merman, My Man novel Chapter 30

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 30

The phrase referred to attracting a mate, in a rut, or courtship? I had no idea how to explain this phrase and what Dicken had been doing.

Regardless, Dicken’s actions were obviously of a teasing nature to me. If it were a monkey or gorilla before me, I would analyze them rationally from a scientific perspective without feeling embarrassed even if they were flaunting their penises.

But when it came to Dicken and his lewd hints, I couldn’t explain the meaning behind the word, I would rather bury my head in a hole like an ostrich.

Why did I feel that way? Was I subconsciously treating him as a human being?

No, that wasn’t possible. That was definitely not true!

As I was being tormented by my own thoughts, Laura had been staring at me and waiting for my answer which made me feel more ashamed than I already was. I could only turn to Gary for help. But when I turned to look at him, he pretended not to see it. I felt as though he was saying ‘See? You brought this upon yourself! ‘

I could only say with a thick face, “This… refers to… ‘

partner’.“

I swear I didn’t mean to be untruthful to scientific facts! But the words continued to leave my lips. “

Based on the years of experience as a student, I could tell Laura wasn’t saying this as an academic but rather, as a colonel. If I were to refuse, I would never have the chance to research merpeople ever again. This was an outcome I could never accept as merpeople research had been my goal for the past several years.

I nodded my head and said, ”I accept.”

”Then as her professor, I’m willing to supervise her as she completes this project, Professor Laura. She’s still quite young and has no prior experience in working here.”

Gary seemed to have planned to say this line immediately after I finished mine. I could tell he was anxious. I had never seen him be so careful before, and I could never comprehend the deeper meaning behind his words.
