The Merman, My Man novel Chapter 44

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 44

Even though I couldn’t tell what the scary being before me was thinking, I could tell that he was furious. If his actions from before were done in his normal mood, I didn’t dare to think what would have happened if he was angry.

My heart felt like it was in my throat as the feeling of impending danger made my whole body tense.

Dicken bent down and I thought he was about to snap my neck in half with his jaw, but he just stuck his nose to my collarbone and inhaled my scent like an addict.

He said some things he had never said before and it sounded like he said the words ‘I’ and ‘you’ in Japanese. Then it sounded like he was saying ‘You are mine’ in Japanese. I was shocked when I realized he was speaking to me in my mother tongue. Was he learning Japanese?

It hadn’t even been that long since he was caught. How could he have learnt Japanese within such a short span of time? As if he was trying to help verify my thoughts, he leaned closer to my upper neck and I felt his hot breath on my ear.

He enunciated slowly as he was still getting used to the language, but the words he said were clear, “I ‘ll let you know me…“ With his gentle and sensuous tone, it seemed like Dicken wanted to discuss something. I couldn’t completely follow what he meant but luckily he wasn’t angry or forceful.

He was so sly, he already knew what my Achilles’ heel was. But I couldn’t refuse, I had no right to. If I were to refuse Dicken, I would have been raped by a beast for nothing and I would have given up the chance to conduct research on him.

And to top it all off, when Laura came back, she would find out that no progress was made in those few days. They would suspect that something wasn’t right and launch an investigation on me, especially since they were being supported by the government. Then, the matter of me being raped would be exposed!

I could not let them find out about this. If they did, I wouldn’t be able to carry on with pride as a human being… I broke out in cold sweat just from the thought of everything being exposed. Thoughts of suicide even began slowly creeping up in my mind.
