The Bad Boy And The Mermaid novel Chapter 33

Warning: STEAMY CHAPTER

Blue

I offered Hunter the box of chocolates but he stared at it with a strange expression on his face. I’d noticed that since we’d entered the room, Hunter was acting different. His forehead had worry lines, he was either talking too fast or not at all and that was not like him.

What was wrong with him?

Was he suddenly regretting his decision of getting married to me? Maybe Hunter was disappointed with the dowry that was given to him by Apollo, if that was the case then I needed to know.

Hunter waved his hand dismissively at the offered chocolates, “I’ll have them later.”

“Okay,” I said popping a dark chocolate truffle into my mouth and moaning. These were so delicious.

I watched him prowl around the room, deep in thought. I was waiting for him to tell me what to do. I hadn’t much knowledge about what I was supposed to do as his wife on our wedding night. According to Hannah, I had to trust Hunter and he’d tell me what was to follow.

But so far, Hunter hadn’t done anything and I was getting worried.

I watched him as he picked up the telephone and punched in a number. “Yes, Steve. I’m just calling to tell you not to disturb me until late tomorrow morning. Do not, and I repeat, do not step on this floor. If I see you or the maids prowling around outside my room, I’ll kill you.” That said he put the phone down.

“Is there a problem?” I asked him.

Hunter sighed and settled down on the bed. “No, just wanted to warn the staff.”

“What for?”

His face colored, Hunter was blushing as he shook his head, “Nothing.”

“Hunter, are you unhappy about something?” I asked him.

“Why would I be unhappy?” He asked, taking off his shoes and pushing them under the bed.

“You don’t like the dowry you received?”

He laughed, “Oh yeah. Here.” He dug into his pockets and pulled out a bag full of mermaid coins. He placed the pouch on the table for me. “I’m giving it to you.”

“Why are you giving it to me?” I was confused. “Apollo gave it to you.”

“Yes, I know, but I realized that you could put it to better use than me. When you visit the ocean again, you can use the money.”

“You would let me visit my home?”

“Correction,” He said smiling, “I would let you visit your parents’ home in the ocean and then you have to come back to your real home that’s here on land with me.”

“Oh, Hunter,” I jumped out of the leather chair and went to hug him on the bed. He was seated as I put my arms around his broad shoulders, and I was welcomed by the scent of his intoxicating male perfume. His head reached the level of my chest, and it was only because he was sitting on the bed. I had the advantage here because I stood before him. I put my hand in his thick hair and ran my fingers through it. He stared at me with an unreadable expression on his face; his silver eyes looked lighter in the dim light. I ran my fingers over the light freckles over his nose.

“Blue,” He said softly, his voice growing deeper. “Aren’t you feeling uncomfortable in that dress?”

“Oh yes, I almost forgot,” I said. “Can you help me take it off?”

He chuckled, “Gladly.”

I turned around and Hunter began working on the laces at the back of my dress...

Hunter

I kept thinking what if Blue didn’t like it?

What if the excitement in her eyes faded by tomorrow morning after she’d slept with me?

I couldn’t fathom to even imagine what I would go through if Blue said she didn’t enjoy making love to me. I would have to drown myself in a bucket of water.

I pulled the back laces of her wedding dress. It was so complicated that I wondered if I would keep pulling these until sunrise the next day. Why would anyone in their right mind make a wedding dress with so many fucking knots?

Didn’t they realize that the husband would have to do all the work at night? And what if the husband died out of anticipation? A few minutes later, I contemplated calling for the maid to help Blue undress but decided against it because the thought was mortifying.

Finally, I loosened all the knots and the dress lay on the floor in a fluffy heap. Blue stepped out of it, wearing only a white corset and stockings. I started taking off the pins from her coiffure. As I removed each pin, the aqua blue curls loosened from the top and cascaded down her back in thick long waves.

My breathing intensified. I was growing hard just looking at her. When all the pins came off, she looked like a goddess waiting to be worshipped. Given the chance, I would do just that. Worship Blue; that is.

Standing between my legs, she turned to face me and reached for my bow tie. Gently, she tugged it out. Her blue eyes were peering at me, filled with mischief, “I want to taste that chocolate you were just eating.” I told her.

“Let me get the box for you.” She said innocently, trying to walk away but I grasped her waist tightly and pulled her taut against me.

“No. I want to taste it on your mouth.” I said and before she could respond I filled her mouth with mine in an open mouthed kiss. She gasped with the invasion of my tongue and moaned softly. I tilted her head to get better access into the deepest corners of her mouth. I could feel her sweet, luscious body shivering against mine. I took my time to taste her, the delightful combination of her mouth mixed with chocolate.

She pulled away to reach for my jacket. “Take this off.”

She didn’t have to tell me twice before I shrugged off the jacket and let it fall on the carpeted floor. She attacked the buttons of my shirt, unbuttoning it with such a speed that if they’d made an Olympic game out of ‘Unbutton your husband’s shirt’, Blue would have won a gold medal.

Once the shirt was off, she ran her hand all over my bare chest and shoulders. Her mouth came down on my neck, and her tongue swiped hungrily over my skin. Until now, I had no idea how much she’d been wanting me.

I began to loosen her corset when she slapped at my hands, “Wait.”

That caught me off-guard. Why didn’t she want me to remove it?

“I want to see you get naked first.” She said eagerly. “I’ve been waiting for so long. Please take off your clothes, Hunter…”

I’d probably died somewhere between the car drive from the wedding to this room because there was no other way to explain how I’d managed to get wed to a creature that looked like she’d walked straight from heaven. Her aqua hair glowed in the dim light, her feminine figure begging for attention and her voice was better than any drug I’d ever taken.

“Your wish is my command, ma’am,” I said and asked her to get on the bed. “Sit there and watch.”

Dutifully she climbed on the bed mattress, careful of the flower heart design; she sat in the center with big wide blue eyes watching me curiously. She might as well be carrying some popcorn and drinks. I unbuckled the belt slowly and threw it on the floor. Next, I unzipped my trousers in a similar fashion with deliberate slowness because I liked the way Blue was looking like I was unpacking the eighth wonder of the world. Her eyes were burning holes into my covered crouch. I suspected if she was even blinking.

“Hunter,” she said impatiently, “You’re very slow. Do you want me to help you get it off?”

I couldn’t help when a chuckle escaped my mouth. “What an eager, demanding wife.”

“You’re teasing me again!”

The trousers slid down to reveal my tented briefs. It was a good thing she’d told me to undress; god knows how long I could have lasted with a raging hard-on.

Her eyes never strayed from my briefs, she whispered. “Take it off, please.”

She’d resorted to begging.

In one fluid motion, I took off the undergarment and heard a gasp coming from her. When I looked up at her, Blue’s eyes had glazed over. “Come to me…”

I climbed in bed, entirely naked, feeling a little shy for being so completely exposed to her.

She grabbed the shaft in her hand and I groaned. Mercilessly, she swiped her finger at the top of my penis and my breathing labored. She pulled the skin up and down, exploring to her heart’s content and I thought I was seeing stars. “So lovely you are, is it always this big?”

“Only when I’m turned on,” I breathed out.
