The merman, my man novel Chapter 19

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 19

The fragrance I had smelled when I first entered the reservoir was now overpowering to the point that it made me dizzy. It made my arms and legs go weak and I inadvertently placed a palm on the glass to support myself.

“Linda, he’s heading this way! The black box attracted him! I found the right frequency! “

Peter raised the black box next to my ear and started to explain, “This is the frequency. This is the same frequency emitted by dolphins when they mate. We suspect that the dolphins suddenly went into heat when the merman produced this frequency.“

I concentrated on the sounds produced by the black box and heard a few familiar syllables. “Di -ek-en“

“Do you hear it? I think this is the sound the merman produces when attracting a mate! “, Peter said proudly as he revealed his discovery.

I, on the other hand, felt extremely embarrassed. I wanted to correct him, but his guess was not completely off the mark based on what the merman did to me before. As for the sounds the merman made when he was in heat, I had used them to give him a name.

I suddenly felt an impulse to call out the merman’s name. If I did, would the merman think I wanted to mate?

Oh my goodness! Based on what had happened on the boat, the merman really was trying to mate with me, and I even gave him a response.

“Di-ek-en“

As I stood shocked by my own thought process, the chanting of the syllables started to become louder. However, the sounds didn’t come from the black box, but from the cabin door instead.

Even a heavy cabin door enforced with modern technology couldn’t completely block out the sound of his voice. Instead, it sounded like the words were being said right next to my ear.

I stared stiffly at the reservoir in front of me and watched as the merman appeared in front of me in the blink of an eye. He stared back at me with eyes resembling an abyss. It was like they could suck me in at any moment.

He extended a pale webbed claw and placed it on the handprint I had left on the glass earlier.
