You Cannot Escape the Merman - Chapter 3

3. Tamed by Pleasure

"Ugh, hnngh!"

When Jahyun opened her eyes, she was still in that room. Her aching body only told her that it hadn't been a dream. But her mouth was filled with something. An object that filled her mouth and invaded her throat—it made her mind hazy. Not only that, but something was also blocking her lower entrance.

She tried to pull them out, but they wouldn't budge at all. The moment she took a step to look around the room, she fell flat.

"Ugh!"

At the same time, the object blocking her throat pressed against it, making her gag. Her legs had no strength at all, which frightened her—but when she checked, luckily there was nothing wrong. So was she just exhausted? As she frowned and tried to get up, the door opened.

Theodore stood there. He tilted his head as if surprised she'd woken up.

"My bride has quite the stamina."

"Mmph, ugh."

"Ah, it's for smooth intercourse, so don't worry about it."

Theodore lightly lifted Jahyun from the floor and pressed firmly on her lower belly.

"Hngh!"

"Unfortunately, I only got about halfway in yesterday."

At those words, Jahyun's face went pale. She'd been ravaged to a complete mess—and he'd only gotten halfway in?

Seeing her frightened expression, Theodore patted her cheek.

"Once you get used to it, you'll actually start craving my co¢k, so don't worry."

"...Hngh."

"Ah. Shall I read you a book?"

He said he'd brought it for her and sat down in a chair. Then he sat Jahyun on his lap and took out a book. She would have preferred being seated in a different chair—this position was embarrassing, so she twisted her body. Theodore pulled her even closer.

It felt like sitting on a horse. As she spread her legs to keep from falling, something that had been inserted below thrust deeper inside.

"Hngh!"

Her body naturally crumpled forward. If Theodore hadn't been holding her waist, she would have hit hard. Theodore smiled at her reaction and held her waist tighter. Then he shifted her legs, making her rub her v@gina against his thigh.

Something unknown inside her inner walls began to vibrate.

"Hoo, ugh, hnngh, ugh!"

It was cold and soft yet also hard—strange. As she twisted her body to escape from his lap, Theodore pulled her from behind. The thing filling her inner walls kept expanding its reach. Then, protrusions began pressing firmly against her walls.

"Your thighs are already getting wet."

In the past, humans had made all sorts of useless things. Among them were s€x toys—and the merfolk had improved and made good use of them. They combined the s€x toys with living organisms, preventing the walls from tightening as the merman desired. Thanks to that, humans living in the merman's realm could carry a merman's child despite the size difference.

It was like reconstructing the inner walls so that even when the merman's co¢k was thrust all the way in, there was no problem. Moreover, even someone who had been frigid would become a body that leaked at the slightest touch.

Any merman who decided to live with a human had to use it. It took effort to keep taming them until they reached that point—but Theodore enjoyed it.

"Hnngh, ghk!"

When he reached out and pressed firmly around her ¢litoris, her body jerked. There was also a device inserted into her urethra—even without intercourse, managing a human's bodily functions was essential. In the merman's realm, it was established that "humans may only relieve themselves in front of their merman husband or wife."

Many humans were frightened by this and tried to escape. But after having their memories erased and being taught that it was the right way, they stopped resisting and adapted.

Once they forgot all their past memories, they would only look at the merman. Of course, even after losing their memories, some still resisted—but they quickly crumbled under pleasure.

"Hngh, mmph, ughhh!"

Every time he pressed around her ¢litoris, Jahyun's mind went white. The tentacles reaching all the way to her bladder made her body feel strange, so it was only natural. If she hadn't been blocked, she would have already leaked everywhere. The device filling her throat kept making her gag—but she had nothing in her stomach, so nothing came up.

Tears streaming down, she desperately grabbed Theodore's hand. But it was immediately restrained behind her back, and her breasts began to be fondled.

"Hnngh, ugh, mmph..."

His cold hands gripped her breasts and squeezed mercilessly. Jahyun's nipples were inverted, and he kneaded them as if trying to draw them out. Her body was hot, but his hands were cold—forcing her mind back down. She rubbed her head against the table, trying to catch her breath. Her vision blurred with pleasure. If only she could lose consciousness entirely, she wouldn't have to feel every single sensation.

"Hnnngh!"

Suddenly, something inside her walls began to churn and vibrate. Smaller than Theodore's, but still large—something ravaged every part of her inner walls. Her vision flashed several times, and saliva dripped involuntarily from her blocked mouth. Seeing that, Theodore held her chin from behind and began licking the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, the pressure on her nipples grew stronger. She wanted to release something—but she couldn't, which tormented her.

As Jahyun wept endlessly, Theodore stopped whatever was moving inside her. Then he turned her to face him and began biting her soft neck.

"Hnngh!"

His pointed teeth—different from a human's—sank into her nape, and it hurt terribly. The bite marks were deeply imprinted, and a little blood surfaced. Theodore licked and sucked at the spot with his tongue. As he pulled her breasts again, the pain transformed into a strange sensation. All Jahyun could do was be swept along in the pleasure.

After tormenting her for a long while, Theodore lifted her into his arms. He headed somewhere in the room—a place equipped with a bathtub and shower. On the island where Jahyun lived, people washed in rivers, so these were things she'd never seen before.

Seated on the edge of the tub, Theodore held Jahyun facing forward and began fondling her lower body.

"Hoo, hmph, ugh, mmmph."

Then he removed the devices blocking her lower openings. The moment the tentacle filling her urethra came out, she urinated. Immediately after, when the device filling her inner walls was also removed, her vaginal opening gaped wide. It was open enough to fit a fist, and seeing it pulse, Jahyun became frightened. What if it wouldn't close?

"Hnngh, ugh..."

She sent him a look asking him to remove the thing blocking her mouth too. After a moment's thought, Theodore removed that as well. Soon, a co¢k-shaped device was spat out from her mouth. It was covered in Jahyun's bite marks.

"Cough! Hgh, ugh!"

Air rushed into her suddenly emptied mouth. As she bent over coughing, Theodore pulled her into his arms. Unlike Jahyun, who was completely naked, he was fully dressed—it felt strange. Residual pleasure still lingered in her body, making her tremble.

Theodore kissed her back. Then he sat her in the tub, turned on the water, and began washing her. Unlike merfolk, who survive well in any situation, humans needed to be washed frequently.

When warm water touched her skin, Jahyun felt a sense of alienation. The river was always cold—she could count on one hand the number of times she'd bathed in warm water. Theodore, seated on the tub's edge, poured water over her ruined body. When she bent her head down with her legs raised, water poured over her head.

Clean, warm water was hard to come by when she lived on the island... That's why the person she lived with—no. Jahyun had no family. But why did she feel like there had been someone?

"Lift your head."

At his words, Jahyun raised her head, and Theodore gently wiped her face. Even though he'd ravaged her to a mess, he stroked her cheek with hands that handled her like something precious. And in that touch, Jahyun gradually felt a sense of security. As she blankly rubbed her wet face against his hand, she heard a small laugh.

Theodore cupped her cheeks and kissed her. Unlike the warm water, the cold temperature jolted her awake. It felt like water kept entering her gaping passage, and the sensation was strange.

"I don't want to wash anymore..."

"Alright."

Theodore lifted Jahyun out of the tub and wrapped her in a towel. He quickly dried her and placed her on the bed. Her bound hands had been freed, so she rubbed them and looked around. Outside the window was the beautiful underwater world. If she, a human, fell in, she would surely die. It was beautiful, but it made her shudder, so she looked away.

Theodore quickly changed into other clothes and stood before Jahyun. She had only a towel wrapped around her, so after a moment's hesitation, she spoke.

"Could I... also have some clothes?"

"They'll get wet soon anyway."

Theodore tilted his head with a genuinely puzzled expression. He then dressed her in one large T-shirt. It was so big that it hung loosely on her, looking like a dress. She asked for bottoms too, but was refused—it felt uncomfortable. As an awkward silence settled, Theodore moved beside her and sat down.

He looked at her and slowly began massaging her body here and there. She was startled, but there was nothing sexual about it, so she stayed still—and Theodore watched her. Soon, he pushed her shoulders down, laying her on the bed.

"What are you—"

"Checking if your body has loosened up."

At those words, Jahyun's eyes widened. She tried to get up but couldn't, so she hurriedly spoke.

"I-I have a question for Theodore-nim."

"What is it?"

"...Why are you taking me as your bride?"

Occasionally, even humans did form marital bonds with merfolk. But they were usually the children of high-ranking humans who could communicate with merfolk. So she couldn't understand why he would take someone like her—someone with nothing—as his bride.

At that question, Theodore looked at her as if asking what she meant.

"Because I want to. I saved a life that was about to die—so it's only right that you follow my wishes."

Even if he told her something else, she would forget it anyway.

One thing unknown to humans: before forming a marital bond with a merman, all of a human's memories are erased. However, touching memories all at once would break a fragile human. So it had to be done gradually. During that time, by flooding her inner walls with his seed and tending to her memories, it would be complete.

"B-but..."

He silenced her chattering mouth with his own. Then, holding both her arms up, he began groping below. Having been dilated by devices and washed in warm water, she was well loosened up. Today, he could probably fit all of it in. And the more she felt, the more compatible they became—making it easier to erase her memories.

He lightly traced her hot mouth with his tongue, and when he pulled away, a strand of saliva stretched between them.

"Hngh!"

His cold fingers plunged into her warm, well-loosened hole in an instant. Even if she flailed her legs, she couldn't escape. The thought of feeling the same sensations as yesterday frightened her—she might go mad. She squeezed her legs together, but they were spread open in an instant. His cold hands pressed hard against her walls and ¢lit.

The hole that had been tamed by the devices while she slept welcomed the intrusion, clenching around his fingers.

"Hnngh, ah, hih!"

One finger quickly multiplied. The cold sensation ravaging her walls was terrifying, yet pleasurable. Her toes kept curling, and saliva dripped from her mouth. Seeing her reactions, Theodore dug into her hole even more. Unlike the first time, her arousal fluid was already coating his hand.

It was good that he'd widened her with the devices. Positioning himself between her legs, Theodore took his co¢k in hand. Then he pressed it against her dripping entrance. Normally, he would have thrust in all at once, but since the devices had trained her well, it would likely go in smoothly. Wanting to feel that sensation, he pressed the flesh and pushed in slowly.

"Hnngh, ugh, ah, ghk!"

Her body was burning hot, yet he thrust in all at once. The cold co¢k splitting her walls made her breath catch. But it should have hurt—yet it didn't. Instead, her walls clenched tightly around his co¢k as if demanding he thrust in even deeper. To ease the tension, he began circling her ¢lit more.

"Hih! Ah, aah!"

Every time he did, her body jerked. Each time his fingers teased her over-sensitive urethra, her vision flashed. Even though he wasn't even halfway in, she was already gushing. The feeling of her hot walls enveloping his co¢k—

Theodore felt like he wanted to live buried inside her forever. Catching his breath, he removed his hand from her urethra and grabbed her waist.

"Ah!"

Then, in one thrust, he drove deep inside. Jahyun's eyes were a mix of pleasure and shock, and her lower body poured out her juices. The sensation of being buried to the base was exquisite. He'd tamed her, sure—but no one had ever taken his co¢k this well. Even female merfolk had turned away in fright more than once.

Her bulging lower belly showed how deeply she'd taken him. Catching his ragged breath, Theodore pressed down on her stomach.

"Hnngh! Ah, aahh! Hnngh, ah, aaaaaah!"

Every time he pressed, Jahyun was swallowed by overwhelming pleasure. Unlike yesterday's s€x, which had been mixed with pain, this was different. She felt so much she thought she might die. Gripping and tearing at the bedsheets, Jahyun tried to endure the pleasure—but it was useless. Just as one wave of pleasure seemed to pass, another crashed over her.

Hot, cold—she felt like she was dying, and tears spilled out. Then, the moment Theodore began thrusting, unbearable sensations began to surge.

"Hih, hiit, ugh, ugh, ughhh!"

Every time his co¢k plunged deep into her soaked hole, she came again. She worried she might dehydrate and collapse from fluid loss. But as if noticing her concern, Theodore kissed her and let water flow into her mouth.

"Cough! Hmph, ugh!"

As she coughed from choking, she clenched his co¢k even better. He could probably move even harder. When Theodore began thrusting with real force, only moans escaped Jahyun's lips. The place was underwater, so it was quiet—the squelching sounds rang out loud and clear. The old Jahyun would have covered her ears in shame, but right now she was out of her mind.

Theodore, pounding hard, spilled his seed deep into her walls once more. Jahyun's lower belly swelled up.

"Ugh, ugh, ah, nooo...!"

Seeing her sobbing pitifully, Theodore smiled without pulling out. As he began thrusting again, her pleasure-filled sobs echoed. Jahyun felt like her belly would never stop filling with liquid—she couldn't breathe. Or was it liquid? Was she perhaps pregnant?

Every time he thrust, her mind went white—and it frightened her.

"Hnngh, ah, aah! Hih, hiiiih! Ah, hwaaaah!"

She worried her inner walls would bruise. That thought kept coming to her. Even as his co¢k endlessly slammed and rubbed against her walls, its temperature remained low. Theodore, who had been thrusting for a long time, removed his hands from her waist. The pressure marks left on her flesh were clearly visible. With his co¢k still buried to the hilt, Jahyun could only gasp with her ruined face.

Looking at her, Theodore reached out and traced her rather flat chest. Then he drew out her inverted nipples with his fingers and lifted her up.

"Hiiih!"

The sensation was enough to bring back the mind that had drifted far away. Thrusting into her in a seated position, his co¢k reached even deeper. The bulge of his co¢k was clearly visible. Theodore kneaded her nipples, then pulled her waist close and began sucking her breasts.

"Ugh, ngh! Hnngh!"

Even though he'd drawn them out, her nipples immediately inverted again. If she were to bear children, she'd need to nurse, so it was better to draw them out in advance. He rubbed one nipple with his hand and sucked the other with his tongue. As he nibbled and chewed, bite marks began to form. If only his co¢k weren't buried inside her, it would be better—but it was, which drove her even crazier.

When she pulled her body back because the nipple-sucking hurt, his co¢k thrust even deeper. Every time, the place where they were joined grew more drenched with her juices.

"Ah, hih, ugh, it hurts, hnngh!"

"...Do you want me to stop sucking?"

"Yes, yes!"

Jahyun made a tearful face and nodded vigorously. Theodore, chewing on her nipple thoughtfully, pulled his face away from her chest. Then he took something from his waist and attached it to her nipple.

The device placed on her nipple wouldn't come off even when pulled hard. It was commonly used to draw out inverted nipples.

"Ah!"

"Then I have no choice but to use a device."

"Ah, hnngh, hnngh..."

Ah—was it painful? No. It didn't hurt. At first, it felt like being bitten, but then she felt a sucking sensation—like a tongue rolling. Jahyun threw her head back and exhaled heated breaths. Pain no longer existed. Only pleasure filled her body.

"...The... sea."

Blankly exhaling, her gaze drifted past his shoulder to the window. The blue underwater world came into full view. The sea she'd only seen in books, only heard about in stories. The place where merfolk lived. As she dazedly exhaled, Theodore grabbed her waist and stood up.

"Hnnngh!"

His already-deep co¢k pushed in even further. As he walked toward the window, a mixture of sem€n and arousal fluid dripped from her entrance. He arrived in just a few strides with his long legs, leaning against Theodore.

Her insides felt like they'd been mashed to a pulp. As she blankly closed her eyes and breathed, her body was suddenly turned around. Still impaled on his co¢k, she was rotated to face forward.

Her feet touched the floor from her previous position, but her heels were lifted.

"Hnngh, hnngh, ah, aaaah!"

Her upper body pressed against the cold glass. What if someone saw them? She was frightened—but soon she was gasping from his slow thrusts. His hand pressed her back, flattening her chest against the glass. The glass was cold, and so was Theodore's body. With the blue sea right before her eyes, Jahyun was ravaged endlessly.

With every thrust, her juices splattered against the window.

"Hoo, ugh."

"Hnngh, ugh, ah, ah!"

Her walls were so full of semen that her belly was swollen beyond measure. Jahyun, rubbing aimlessly against the window, began to gag. Theodore smiled and stroked her bulging lower belly.

"You look like you're already pregnant."

When he pressed down, semen oozed from the entrance that was still swallowing his co¢k. Theodore changed her position again so she could see herself, and began rubbing her ¢lit mercilessly.

"Hih! Ah, aahh! Hnngh, ghk!"

At the same time, he freed her restrained hands, and she threw her arms around his neck. Her heated moans rang in his sensitive ears. The moment her walls tightened around him again, he pulled out.

"Hih... hiit..."

When he rubbed his cum-covered co¢k against her ¢lit, she soaked the floor once more. With her head leaning against his chest, Jahyun only exhaled ragged breaths, and Theodore stroked her back. Every time his cold hands stroked her, her body trembled. Then, as if her power had been cut, she lowered her head and fell asleep.

Theodore watched her, then plugged her holes once more.

You Cannot Escape the Merman - Chapter 2

2. Carved Anew

She was certain she had died. Yet when she opened her eyes, she was in an unfamiliar place. Clutching her throbbing head, she barely managed to sit up and look around. When she pressed her hand down, it was so soft that she looked—it was a bed she'd only ever seen in books. The items in the room were also things she'd only encountered in illustrations.

Was she seeing things? Or had she arrived in the afterlife?

Even her worn-out clothes had been replaced with something that looked precious.

She slowly stepped down from the bed. The feel of the carpet beneath her feet was strange. Hesitating, she noticed the curtains were drawn and cautiously approached to pull them open.

"The... sea?"

Outside the window was the ocean floor. In the past, it had been heavily polluted by humans, but now it had returned to its original state.

It was a sight she'd seen in picture books at the island library, so she stared blankly at it. She couldn't understand why she was here.

As Jahyun stood dazedly gazing out the window, she heard the sound of a door opening.

"You're awake."

If she wasn't seeing things, then this was a place where merfolk lived. That meant the one who had brought her here was undoubtedly a merman. Jahyun quickly turned around and met eyes with a tall man.

He was somewhat large-built but looked no different from a human. However, his pointed ears revealed that he was a merman.

One must always show courtesy to merfolk. She had been taught that since childhood, so she immediately dropped to her knees.

"Ah, hello. I sincerely thank the merman who saved me."

"......"

The man was looking at her. One of the reasons merfolk disliked humans was their lack of manners. So she'd heard that if one showed proper courtesy, their chances of surviving before a merman increased. Of course, whether they were spared or not was entirely up to the merman's whim.

As Jahyun trembled and bowed her head, the man approached. He slipped his hands under her armpits and lifted her up, pulling her into his embrace.

"You shouldn't kneel on the cold floor."

"I-I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

It was the first time she'd ever been held in someone's arms. And she'd never imagined she'd be held in a merman's embrace, so her heart pounded even harder. Though he looked human, his embrace was cold. She'd heard that merfolk had low body temperatures—so it was true.

Jahyun, silent in the man's arms, was soon seated back on the bed.

"I saw you losing consciousness and sinking while swimming, so I brought you here."

"Ah. Th-thank you."

"I changed your clothes. Are they comfortable?"

"Yes. They're comfortable."

As she answered meekly, she suddenly remembered her bag. Jahyun cautiously met the man's eyes and asked.

"By any chance, did you see the bag I was carrying?"

"Bag? There wasn't one."

In that instant, an overwhelming sense of despair crashed over her. Then what about her uncle? It would take weeks for new medical supplies to arrive—what was she going to do?

She'd have to search the mountain day after day until she found another herb cluster. Hesitating, Jahyun carefully opened her mouth.

"Um, Merman-nim."

"Don't call me 'Merman-nim.' Call me Theodore."

Theodore sat in a chair and spoke gently. Having been taught since childhood never to disobey a merman's words, Jahyun nodded.

Her lips were still parched, but she had to return to the island.

"...Theodore-nim. I have a favor to ask."

"What kind of favor?"

"I-I was wondering if it's possible for you to send me back to the island where I lived. My uncle is sick."

As Jahyun trembled and made her request, Theodore's gaze slowly swept over her body. An agonizingly heavy silence stretched between them, until Theodore finally smiled.

"What if I refuse?"

"Ah..."

"I'd say saving your life is already plenty of help."

Theodore rested his chin on the armrest and gave a sly grin. His words were perfectly true.

If he hadn't helped her, she would have died in the ocean.

She knew that the merfolk's dwellings were built deep beneath the sea—even if she tried to swim out, she wouldn't make it.

Then what about her uncle?

Biting her lips hard, Jahyun barely held back the tears threatening to spill.

"Th-that's... true."

Jahyun quickly got down from the bed and knelt before Theodore.

She'd heard that occasionally merfolk bestowed acts of charity upon those they considered beneath them.

Quickly wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, Jahyun spoke.

"However, I know that the merfolk are truly merciful. C-could you... just this once... help me?"

"......"

"I'll do anything. I can't... I can't lose my uncle like this."

She tried to hold back, but in the end, the tears wouldn't stop flowing. Theodore watched her cry, then reached out and wiped her eyes, asking.

"Anything, you say? No matter what I ask?"

"Yes, yes, I will."

"Hmm."

After a moment's deliberation, Theodore took a bell from his pocket and rang it. Before long, several merfolk entered.

"I'm taking the human to the island, so prepare the elevator."

"Yes."

She couldn't believe he was actually showing her mercy. As Jahyun sat there, tears dripping silently, Theodore took her arm and helped her stand.

Then he wiped her eyes again with his cold hands.

Afterward, Jahyun was given new clothes to wear. The quality was so much better than anything she'd worn in her life that she touched and smoothed them several times.

The clothes she'd been wearing when she woke up would have been enough, though.

"If you're dressed, let's go."

"Yes. Th-thank you so much."

When she stepped out of the room, an elegant corridor appeared.

The ceiling, walls, and floor were all made of solid glass, offering a clear view of the blue underwater world. Having only ever seen such sights in picture books, she couldn't easily tear her gaze away. But thinking of her uncle, Jahyun resumed walking.

After some time, they arrived at a lobby. There were merfolk there—and she could feel them glancing at her, probably having heard about her presence.

"They're employees, don't mind them. We're almost at the elevator."

"What... is that?"

"There's also the option of swimming, but since you're human, you'd obviously die. It's a machine that takes you up to the surface."

When he pressed a button, the doors opened with a cheerful ding. She'd never seen anything like it and hesitated to enter, but Theodore carefully pushed her back and guided her inside. The inside of the elevator was like the corridor—all glass on all sides. There were light bulbs, so it wasn't dark, but being with Theodore still felt suffocating.

What would he want from her? She'd heard that some merfolk ate humans—did this one want that too?

As she leaned against the wall and darted her eyes around, Theodore chuckled.

"I don't eat humans, you know."

"H-how did you know?"

"It's written all over your face."

Her eyes widened at his words. She glanced at him nervously, worried she might have offended him, but that didn't seem to be the case, so she felt relieved.

Theodore stood beside her and pointed out various sea creatures and sights. Seeing in person the things she'd only ever seen in books was an incredibly wondrous experience.

Before long, light began streaming into the elevator as it rose endlessly. Now how would they get from here?

Would they swim? As she pondered this, the elevator began moving forward.

Her mouth fell open as she stared at Theodore.

"I hear humans used to use these too, but now they're unable to handle them."

Most of the technicians from fifty years ago had been swallowed by the tsunamis as well. And even if technology were given back to humans, they'd only cause pollution again.

So the remaining few technicians had passed down their knowledge. After that, the merfolk had modified everything to be eco-friendly.

Soon, the forward-moving elevator stopped and rose upward.

Jahyun saw a familiar shoreline before her. As she stared blankly, Theodore stepped out first and extended his hand. After a moment's hesitation, Jahyun took his hand and stepped down.

"Thank you! I will never forget this kindness!"

"Surely you weren't planning to go alone?"

"...Pardon?"

"It's only right to see you through to the end if I'm taking you there."

Theodore smiled. But if he went like that, it would be obvious he was a merman and would cause a stir.

Whenever a merman came to the island, the atmosphere went crazy. Not knowing how to respond, she was opening and closing her mouth when Theodore pulled up his robe to cover his ears.

"This should be fine, right?"

"Ah-yes."

"Now, let's go to where you live."

Honestly, she didn't understand why he was following her. He was a merman—was it even okay for him to come onto the island?

But she reminded herself that her uncle's health was the most important thing right now. Hurrying her steps, she arrived home, and the neighbors stared with wide eyes.

"Jahyun! What happened to you!"

"W-well, I fell into the sea, and this person saved me."

At her words, the gathered people's expressions filled with shock. It was a natural reaction—anyone who fell into the sea usually died for certain.

It seemed they'd been worried since vanishing from the island wasn't easy either. Jahyun bowed deeply, then took Theodore's hand and quickly headed home.

When they entered the small hut, the sound of coughing reached them.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"You, where did you... come from."

"I'm sorry, I worried you. I got caught up in something and just came back."

Theodore stood by the doorway, surveying the house. Jahyun quickly brought out a bowl and began grinding the herbs. After grinding for a long while, she hurriedly fed them to her uncle. His fever was higher than before she'd gone to the mountain—it was frightening.

As she tended to him, she sensed someone behind her.

"Open his mouth."

"Pardon?"

"Leave him like this and he'll die."

Startled by her words, she carefully opened his mouth. Theodore then slit the tip of his own finger and let a few drops of blood fall into her uncle's mouth.

As she stared blankly at Theodore, she could feel the fever rapidly subsiding.

After some time had passed, her uncle's eyes opened and looked at her.

"...I thought you'd run off somewhere and left a sick person behind."

"No, Uncle, I'd never go anywhere and leave you. Actually, a merman saved me."

She'd always been honest with her uncle, so she told him the truth.

Her uncle's eyes widened in shock as they turned to Theodore. He quickly raised himself and knelt before Theodore.

"U-uncle?"

"I sincerely apologize for not greeting you sooner!"

Theodore merely smiled at her uncle.

"You remember, then? Since she's come of age and I'd heard no word, I thought you'd tried to smuggle her away—but it seems that wasn't the case."

"Th-there's no way I would! How could a lowly human dare to slight a merman? It's just that she still seemed young and childish, and I thought she might be a bother! Humans are only considered true adults after their birthday, you see."

"Hmm. Sounds like an excuse, but I'm in a good mood, so I'll let it slide."

"Th-thank you!"

Jahyun sensed something strange. The two of them were speaking as if they knew each other.

Yet her uncle had never once told her that he knew any merfolk.

As she stared blankly at the two of them, Theodore spoke.

"Then I'll take her now."

"Pardon?"

Jahyun found herself questioning him without thinking. She knew full well that one should never talk back to a merman. But to take her without even asking her opinion—she was so dumbfounded she opened her eyes wide and looked at her uncle.

Even if he'd raised her without affection, there was no way her uncle would just send her off. That's what she'd thought, but...

"Understood."

Her uncle nodded as if it were only natural to send her away. Theodore smiled faintly and looked at Jahyun.

"Now let's go back."

"Uncle, Uncle! What do you mean by that!"

"Ah. I almost forgot."

Theodore pulled something from his chest and threw it toward the floor. A heavy thud sounded, and when she looked, precious treasures lay there.

Her uncle's eyes filled with greed at the sight, and he nodded vigorously.

What was happening right now? Was her uncle really handing her over in exchange for treasure?

"S-she has no belongings of her own."

"I wasn't planning to let her bring anything anyway."

Theodore said indifferently, grabbing the arm of a dazed Jahyun. The sight of a human who'd been dying from illness just moments ago suddenly blinded by treasure was somewhat revolting.

"No, Uncle, I don't want to go."

Even though she was an adult, Jahyun was utterly confused. She couldn't believe her uncle had let go of her hand without any hesitation at all.

It was a world where a child couldn't survive alone. At least with her uncle, she hadn't been sold off to another island. He'd always been rough and had never shown her affection, but he'd never let her go hungry. She'd thought they were family—so why?

She tried to wrench free from the grip on her arm, but it wouldn't budge at all.

"Weren't we... family?"

At that moment, her uncle let out a loud, hollow laugh. Then he turned and looked at her with empty eyes, speaking.

"I never once thought of you as family. And even if you ever come back to this island, I'll be long gone."

Those cold words left her vision blurry. Her strength drained away, and she found herself being led wherever Theodore took her.

When she came to her senses, she was back in the sea.

It hurt as if a hole had been punched through her chest. The tears wouldn't stop. Theodore only watched her cry.

She tried not to board the elevator, but she couldn't overcome his strength. The moment the elevator was swallowed back into the depths of the sea, she instinctively knew—she couldn't escape.

Even if, against all odds, she did manage to run away, she had nowhere to go. A woman without family was the perfect target to be sold off.

Could she possibly survive under the sea? Her mind was in chaos. Before she knew it, she was back in the room where she'd first woken up.

Merfolk don't like it when humans cry. Because their ears are sensitive and it hurts them. So the adults always said you mustn't cry in front of a merman. The problem was that the tears wouldn't stop.

Even if she'd never received affection, she'd still thought of him as family...

Theodore stared intently at Jahyun as she kept crying. Was he wondering whether to kill her or not?

Then Theodore reached out, stroked her tear-soaked cheek, and asked.

"Why are you crying?"

"...I'm sorry."

"I'm genuinely curious. Was he good to you?"

"That's... not really, but... we still lived together, you know. Usually... no one wants to take in a relative's child anyway."

The hand stroking her cheek was cold. It was only natural since his body temperature was low, but it made her feel alert. As she bit her lip trying to stop crying, Theodore's fingers touched her lips.

Then, preventing her from biting, his fingers—larger than a human's—slipped into her mouth. Her eyes widened in surprise. Theodore didn't stop, lightly tracing the inside of her mouth before pulling out.

Startled, her tears stopped instantly. Looking up at Theodore with her face soaked, he sat down in front of her and asked.

"Your memories of the surface are hardly worth keeping, wouldn't you say?"

"...Pardon?"

"It would be better for you to have no memories if you're going to live here as my bride from now on."

Theodore rose from his seat as he spoke. Jahyun couldn't believe what she'd just heard.

Bride? That was a word for someone you married. There was no way a noble merman would take a human as a bride.

Jahyun found herself standing up without thinking. Then, seeing Theodore approaching, she faltered and stepped backward. Soon, she was stopped by the window.

"A-a human as your bride... Everyone will look down on you."

Humans were beings beneath merfolk. She'd grown up hearing that endlessly—there was no way she could accept something like becoming a bride. Theodore let out a small, amused laugh.

"Is there anyone who can stop my choices?"

With that, Theodore cupped her cheeks and kissed her.

The markedly lower temperature than a human's jolted her dazed mind awake. As his large, cold tongue began to invade her mouth, Jahyun tried to push him away. But a human couldn't overpower a merman—he didn't budge an inch.

His large, cold hands held her face in place as his tongue began to ravage her mouth.

"Mmph, mmm, mmmph!"

His tongue was so long it wrapped around her throat, stealing her breath, and she felt like she might die. She tried to bite down to free herself, but his tongue—which looked so soft—wouldn't yield at all. Saliva dripped between their locked lips, and she couldn't breathe, her mind growing hazy. Just as her hands, which had been gripping his on her cheeks, fell limp to the side, she felt a sting at the back of her neck.

Paralytic venom. It was a necessary step for a merman to lie with a human. They had to relax the body with the venom so that the human could properly take the merman's co¢k.

"Hngh... aah..."

Jahyun, her lips slick with saliva, was laid down on the wide bed. Theodore lightly grasped her clothes and tore them off, revealing her bare body. Unlike merfolk, she hadn't eaten well or grown properly, so she didn't look particularly voluptuous. Still, it was more than enough to excite Theodore.

A body that had never been touched by anyone—one that was ripe for development—pleased him.

Theodore spread Jahyun's legs, revealing her dry v@gina. Merfolk only grew tails underwater; without water, they looked like large humans. So intercourse outside the water was similar to that of humans.

He pulled her lower body toward his face as she lay there, dazedly exhaling heated breaths. Jahyun's head angled downward, but she had no strength to resist. Her dry v@gina didn't yet smell like anything. Female merfolk smelled of the sea—humans were different.

Bringing his face close, Theodore extended his long tongue and pushed it into her v@ginal entrance.

"Ugh."

Even though they hadn't properly begun, her inner walls were hot. The sensation was entirely unlike that of a mermaid, and Theodore smiled in excitement. Soon, as his cold tongue began pressing inside her walls, the legs draped over his shoulders began to tremble. The paralytic venom heightened sexual sensation to an extreme degree, so even this small stimulation seemed to excite her. Her dry inner walls gradually began to moisten, and he could feel it on his tongue.

As he pressed various spots with his long tongue, he pushed against the back of her ¢litoris—and her walls clenched around him. At the same time, her arousal fluid began to flow in a gush, so Theodore pressed his lips there and started sucking.

"Ugh, hnnngh!"

Together with sensations she'd never felt before, her body burned so hot she felt she might go mad. But Theodore's body temperature was so low that it forcibly pulled her back from flying away. If she could just fly away, she might lose consciousness... She was being sucked with her lower body raised, and it made her mind feel strange. Sounds she'd never made before spilled from her lips, and tears began to flow again.

Theodore watched her face in the mirror, rubbing mercilessly with his cold tongue. Her still-unentered passage was so tight that if he tried to put his co¢k inside, he wouldn't even get half of it in.

"Ah, ughhh, ugh!"

As his cold tongue pressed against her ¢lit, something thick began to enter her v@ginal opening. At first, she thought it was his member and was shocked, but Jahyun realized it wasn't his co¢k—it was his finger. Just one finger felt like it was filling her belly—what would happen when his co¢k went in?

"Hih, it, ah, aah!"

No matter where he pressed, though she was frightened, breathy moans escaped her. A merman's tongue could adjust its width and length at will. So it was even possible to invade the urethral opening.

"Hih!"

The moment something like a tentacle burrowed into her narrow urethra, Jahyun's eyes rolled back. The shock was enough to make her weak, limp hands clench the bedsheets on their own. Her head arched backward. From her wide-open mouth, only moans and saliva trickled out.

Would she die like this? The sensations she'd never felt before seemed to ravage not just her lower body, but her very brain.

"Hnngh, ugh, hiiiiik!"

Her legs, draped over Theodore, trembled as if in convulsions. Theodore felt it all and didn't stop ravaging her inner walls. Most females would be loosened up by this much, but she was still stiff. He thrust his tongue in deep, flicked the tip, and withdrew in an instant.

"Aaaaaah!"

With a gushing sound, the bedding was thoroughly soiled. His hand was still inside her inner walls, so it got dirty too—but he didn't care. When he set down her lower body, her upper half hadn't even been touched yet, and it was already a mess.

Theodore lightly licked his soaking wet hand. Then he inserted more fingers and began loosening her narrow passage.

"Hiik! Ah, hnngh, ahhhh!"

His thick fingers, like his co¢k, pressed fiercely against every part of her inner walls. If even the paralytic venom made her like this, without it, she wouldn't have been able to take his co¢k at all. Not that it mattered—he'd be the one breaking her in anyway.

While loosening her with one hand, he raised the other and shoved it into her mouth. The cold temperature of his hand rubbing against her hot mouth was delightful.

"Ugh, mmph, kkh, khh...!"

Her throat and her lower body were ravaged at the same time, thrown into utter chaos. So dazed she could barely function, all Jahyun could do was thrash. Every time three fingers stirred in her throat, a wet, lewd sound echoed. It was the same below.

If only her ears didn't work, it would be better—but all of it rang in her ears. Pierced from above and below, Jahyun could only be violated blankly.

If only his body were hot, it would have been better—but a merman's temperature was low. Whenever she felt like she was about to fly away, she was dragged back down, which made her burst into tears.

Of course, with fingers stuffing her mouth, she couldn't cry properly.

"Ugh, hnngh, hmph, hnn."~

The fingers that had filled her throat withdrew. Following them, the fingers that had been digging into her hole pulled out. He had hands larger than a human male's, so her passage had spread open and was gaping. In the bedroom thick with the smell of s€x, Jahyun could only breathe raggedly.

Theodore positioned himself between her legs and lowered his lower garments. His veined member soon sprang up, twitching. He took his co¢k and pressed it against Jahyun's lower belly. It was large enough to reach her ¢ervix in an instant.

Jahyun, dazedly breathing, was suddenly jolted awake. If something like that monster entered her, she might be ruined.

"Ah, ah, ugh, ah, nooo..."

She barely managed to shake her head, but Theodore ignored her and pressed it against her opening. The moment her mind snapped back from the cold sensation, his club-like co¢k pierced through her inner walls.

"......!"

No sound even came out. Like a fish pierced by a harpoon, Jahyun gasped in short, choked breaths. It was almost funny—she was like this when he hadn't even properly begun. Theodore shoved his co¢k—only half-inserted—even deeper inside. Unlike his cold co¢k, her walls were so hot that low moans escaped him involuntarily.

"Kh, hoo."

Even after stretching her thoroughly with his fingers, she was still tight. Frowning slightly, Theodore raised his hand and began rubbing her ¢litoris mercilessly.

"Ahhhh!"

Jahyun, who had been half-gone, snapped back to attention. Theodore looked at her and began ruthlessly pounding into her below. The sounds of their fluids squelching and slapping echoed along with her moans. The problem stemmed from Theodore's low body temperature.

If everything had been hot, she might have lost her mind—but she couldn't.

"Hih, hiih! Ah, ahhh! Huh, ugh, aaaah!"

Every time his co¢k thrust in and out, she felt as if her insides were being split open. The fingers rubbing her ¢lit, as if to snap her back to her senses, were cold yet burning hot at the same time. An overwhelming pleasure consumed Jahyun—so intense that she almost thought pain would be preferable. The moment Theodore sensed she was beginning to feel it, he slammed his co¢k in even harder.

"Huah, ah, hnngh, ugh, uuuuhn!"

Theodore used her limp body like his personal ¢ocksleeve. With every thrust, her lower belly bulged outward, and he even pressed down on it firmly. She lost count of how many times she came throughout the relentless pounding.

Then she recalled—she'd heard that merfolk mate for far longer than humans. The memory brought Jahyun to pitiful tears.

"Am I the one devouring you?"

"Hnngggh, ugh, uunngh..."

"You're the one doing the swallowing, aren't you."

Theodore, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction, only smiled thinly. Overwhelmed by too many sensations at once, Jahyun lost consciousness on the spot.

When she woke again, she would have forgotten all memories of her family. Merfolk were capable of manipulating memories.
