This choice: can I use the pendant as well? • Go Back...Chapter #5"Can I use the pendant as well?" by: Mr. George   With a trilling laugh, she asks, "Well master, Can I use the pendant... If it turned you into my twin, perhaps I could masquerade as your twin..."
You gape in horror at the very idea. Looking at Alimah, you see a predatory smile on her face. You know your life would seduce her, and leave you stuck as the mermaid in your own palace reduced to a possession. You ease yourself away from the waters edge, and out of Alimah's reach. Your tail picking up a coating of coarse sand at you move.

Her long blonde hair does little to hide her human curves. The same curves you share, instinctively you reach up, cradling your own bust. Your warm hands supporting the firm bust. A low gasp slips out, as your thumbs brush against your nipples. So much more sensitive than you imagined possible.
Your gasp draws a smile from Alimah, "See, Mistress. It's not all bad news..."
Your head snaps round at her address. "It's not Mistress." you tell her as firmly as you can. Keeping the fear from your voice, you manage not to stutter, but your voice lacks conviction.
"Certainly, your men, won't see you as a Mistress." Alimah adds before you can demand she calls you Master.
"This is a little unexpected." you confess, with a wry smile. Taking the medallion off, you set it aside. Although only for a minute, picking it back up again, you slip it on once more.
It's a faint hope, and soon dashed, the medallion hasn't yet recharged, and you've revealed you discomfort to Alimah. You slip it off once more, and with a shrug try to pretend it was just a passing fancy. You double-check to see that it's beyond Alimah's reach from the pool. With the attempt already failed, you review what you know, as the shock of your switch into Alimah's twin fades you recall it'll take 24 hours to recharge.
You swallow hard, as you try to imagine passing that time, the boredom alone can be crushing. Your fantasy of expanding your wealth by recovering treasure from wrecks, and setting up a merfamily, with you as the proud father of a new dynasty. Your proud, full, bust rather undercuts that particular ambition.
"Come on in." Alimah splashes you playfully from the pool. Her tail flashing beneath the water like an iridescent emerald flake. You startle with a high pitch squeak. Short but shrill, the water flowing quickly from your face and hair, by it's natural oils. One stray trickle flowing down to bead on one nipple. You both stare at it, Alimah eagerly, while you aren't sure whether to brush it away, or ignore it as insignificant.
"You'll need more than a splash, to keep that tail healthy." She nods towards your tail, as she finishes speaking. As if prompted by her observation, you become aware of how dry you feel. Your human half, is fine... more or less. But already you feel an itch intensifying below your waist.
You brush away the worst of the sand, but that does nothing for the underlying problem.
It can't even have been an hour, but already you know you're going to have to enter the water at some point. As the itching rises to an irritation, you work out a strategy. Carefully, you crawl over to the lever, and raise the gate allowing Alimah to escape to the sea.
"I had hoped to explore with you." You offer Alimah, however, I can't keep you here against your will."
"Such kindness." she answers. "I cannot reject such generosity. I will remain to act as your guide, both of the sea floor, and to navigate mer-society."
She sounds quite sincere, and splashes the water inviting you to join her.
It's tempting, and you dismiss her initial question as a poor joke. Hanging the medallion over a rock, beneath the release lever, you drag yourself back to the pool. There's no avoiding it. Initially, you just sit on the edge, your tail dipped in the water. The relief you feel is impossible to deny, and Alimah notices the change in your expression.
"See..." With a flick of her tail, she swims backwards a few feet, giving you more room to enter the water. You half expected her to pull you in. Planting your hands on the rocks, you ease yourself up, and allow yourself to sink fully into the water.
Alimah beams at you, gesturing towards the exit.
"Just for today." you tell her. She looks a little disappointed, but glad for the company. As you slide beneath the water, you feel your gills start to work. Your voice a different pitch as you swim, but both you and Alimah are still clear.
Swimming in a tight circle, Alimah grabs your hand and pulls you out to the open sea.
"I have so much to show you. The prettiest rocks, and the most interesting sights."
You find yourself hoping she's talking about wrecks and treasure. With every moment that passes you find your swimming gaining strength, and less and less being pulled by Alimah. Sensing this she lets your hand go, and in a few moments you're able to catch up and keep pace.
You aren't sure of your bearings, as you look around the sea floor tells you nothing.
"The reef is beautiful." she tells you.
You follow, excited as you know the reef to be treacherous to shipping. Besides, if it's a mistake you can pretend to find the fish colourful, or the reef attractive. Swimming is a pleasure as you glide through the water. The flexing of your body, keeping you aware of how the water slides over your torso. It's impossible to ignore how your nips feel more alive and alert than ever.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
