The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 14
I thought he was showing me an act of kindness, so I thought of dealing with him in a peaceful manner. Turns out, I was too naive!
As I tried to pull my fingers away from his firm grip. He bared his teeth towards me with a threatening look.
I looked at my hand and was surprised to see that the wound on my hand was completely gone!
Turns out the merman really was showing me kindness by healing my wound! This was too incredible! If I wasn’t the one who experienced it, I wouldn’t have believed it either.
Merpeople must have some regenerative substances in their saliva that could accelerate cell reproduction! Even modern medicine hasn’t advanced to this degree!
I completely forgot about the fear I was feeling a second ago and excitedly touched his lips as I said to myself, “You really surprise me…“
The merman felt my gentle caress and opened his lips, producing the same set of syllables he had uttered to me countless times, “Di-ek-en“.
I hit myself in the head in realization. “Dicken! That’s your name, isn’t it? So you’ve been trying to tell me your name this entire time! “
The merman didn’t seem to understand me, but he seemed excited as his smile widened.
“Dick…“
I wanted to take this chance to communicate further with him, but he suddenly pulled me into his arms. He stuck his nose down the base of my neck and inhaled deeply. It was like he was addicted to my scent.
I was too stunned to move. As Dicken held me, he whispered into my ear in a low voice, “Li-n-da.“
