The Siren's Last Song

Enamored

I was overcome with an instant rush of electricity throughout my body that made me weak. I felt an intense throbbing heat in my most private area. I was frozen in place, wanting to run, but also wanting to touch his skin all at once. It was as if time stood still, after what felt like hours, he broke the silence. His beaming brown and green eyes twinkling in the moonlight, long curly brown hair, and had soft features underneath his masculine beard and serious face. His lips were plump, not too big and not too small, just right. He appeared European or possibly American, but was very tanned from time abroad, tattoos showing under his clothes. He softly said, "I've dreamt of this for so long, Aika. My name rolled off his tongue in the most delicious way I've ever heard. "I shouldn't be talking to you." I said. He looked at me sadly and asked why. "It is forbidden," I told him. "You don't like to obey rules, I take it?" he said with a slight smile. I looked at him without saying any words, he then reached his arm out to touch me, to which I swiftly sunk myself and swam away.

That night I couldn't sleep, something inside me throbbed and begged to be touched. I was fantasizing about this 'Z' person. I longed for his touch on my skin. I imagined me coming out of the water, letting myself transform, and he would come out to the beach seeing my naked body in the sand. He would take his coat off and place it on my body, lift me up and carry me to his tent. He'd lie me down on his makeshift cot, tell me to take off his coat from my body. I would silently oblige as he helped me remove it and replace it gently with a simple white poet shirt. He removed his clothes in front of me while I lay on the cot, feeling the heat coming again. He stripped down to nothing but undergarments and lay with me, pulling me closer to warm my body. The throbbing started again as I felt his warm skin on mine, his fingers moving up and down my arm. He'd kiss my neck, to which I let out a soft moan. His kisses would start from my neck down my back, he'd get to the small of my back and down my leg. As he approached my foot, he'd kiss the top of it and then use my leg to flip me over onto my back. Causing me to gasp and quiver. He kissed the other leg, making his way slowly up to my inner thigh, making me moan in pleasure. Kissing the top of my mound.... "Damn it", I muttered as a knock came from my door, interrupting my heated thoughts. Of course, it was Cora.

I quickly cooled my thoughts down and told her to come in. She wanted to gossip about the sailors roaming the island. She asked me my opinions, but I told her I didn't have much of one. "Once they leave, we're safe, right?" I said with lackluster. She agreed full-heartedly and said "Let's go on an adventure!", "Where?" I retorted. "It's a mystery for us both!". 'Oh boy', I said to myself. We then ventured off, bags in hand, in case of good finds. We went off north-west to explore, we swam for a while and suddenly came across a sunken ship. With my excitement bubbling, I calmly said to her, "We should check it out, see what weird human things they left." She looked at me strangely and then said, "Alright why not, we are pretty far away from the colony; it could be cool, I guess."

We swam up close to the ship. I knew it was a new sunken ship, as I was always looking for unique things and sunken ships were as close to humans as I could get without reprimand. I peered inside first to make sure nothing was living inside. After the clear, we both went in. "It's creepy in here", Cora declared. "Quit being such a baby and be the 'adventurer' you act like," I said, rolling my eyes. We went to opposite ends of the ship. I went towards the back where the men kept most of their belongings. I shoved open a door and made my way inside. To my shock and sadness, there was a man, dead, still in bed. The coverings he had tucked him in forever. He was swollen with water and deteriorating quickly, it seemed. Inside, I found some cool trinkets such as coins and other knick-nacks. I put them in my bag and scoured around some more. I was shooing away some small fish when I heard a scream. I quickly swam over thinking the worst, but of course, it was just Cora caught in a net and freaking out. I go over without a sound, make two moves, and she's freed. I then looked her in the eyes with a blank expression. "Well, it wouldn't come off when I tried!" she sputtered. Our adventure ended and we swam home. All Cora took was a couple of mermaid figurines, because that's totally not weird, I thought to myself sarcastically. I ended up with coins, jewelry, and a sight-seer. I was pleased with the haul. Cora and I then said our goodbyes for the day and each went home.

I must have fallen asleep after getting home because I woke up confused and the waters dark from the top. I swim around the colony's homes and see everyone in bed. It must be late. Since I had slept all afternoon, I wasn't tired at all now. I decided to go out to my rock, but first had to take a peek at the beach I had my encounter with Z at. Before I could even get my head near the surface, I heard something, almost vibrating the water. I peeked my head above water only to my chin. There he was, playing his instrument, playing my song. I knew I was being a fool, but I started singing with the sound. He looked up at me, stopping his playing, to which I stopped singing. He started playing again, and I returned it with more singing. He was looking at me while playing effortlessly. I was in awe. We sounded so harmonious together, it felt magical, it felt right. We sang for a while before he stopped and looked at me. I swam up closer to the shore, while he scooted towards the water. My heart raced as we neared each other. He broke the silence first, "You have no idea what you are doing to me," he said, looking into my eyes. "I'm sorry if I scared you before". I stared back into his eyes with wonder. He continued, "After I first heard you singing, I knew I had to find you; I always imagined what you would look like, but I had no idea you would be so beautiful." I turned my head and blushed. "Why did you feel you had to find me?" I said softly. He looked at me lovingly, "You're song, I feel it in my soul."

My head was swimming with thoughts all tangled together. Was this my soulmate? How could this be? It must be a mistake. "I couldn't be what you're looking for." I said, looking away. "There's no mistake," he said, "You're everything I've been looking for and more." "We shouldn't even be speaking," I told him, "Our kinds aren't supposed to mix." "Says who?" he asked. "Society" I replied. He looked at me with such a sullen expression. "No one can decide fate," he said, "I'm completely enamored by you."
