Page 14 of Where the Current Takes Him (Mermate #1)

Beau

T he sound of the front door barely registered to Beau.

He scraped just enough energy together to reach up and tug the incriminating dildo from the headboard and toss it under the bed.

He was shivering now, curled up under the blankets, but soaked with sweat.

He might have believed it was the flu if not for the persistent ache in his member.

He’d lost track of how many times he came. The duvet cover was in desperate need of a wash, and now lay in a heap near the laundry basket. As much as Beau didn’t want Loriun to walk in on this, there was little he could do to stop it.

“Beau?” Loriun’s low voice sent tremors through his balls.

Beau let out a high-pitched sound that wasn’t quite human.

“Beau, are you okay?” The voice drew closer. The door swung open to reveal a very discomposed Mer. Loriun sucked in a breath, then appeared to swallow back a groan.

“ Tyr … You are…”

“I think I’m sick,” Beau whispered. “I don’t know what’s wrong.”

The Alpha squeezed his eyes shut for a moment. Beau could only imagine the scent that must be saturating the air. A heady mix of sweat, sex, and desperation.

“What are your symptoms?” Loriun’s voice was strained. He stayed in the doorway, one hand clutching at the doorframe.

“Fever, chills, and…” Beau couldn’t make himself say the main problem at hand.

“I do not believe you are ill, Beau.” Wood splintered as Loriun’s claws penetrated the doorframe. “You are in heat. Should I take you to Dr. Enas?”

Beau shook his head.

“What do you need?” The Alpha looked as though he was in physical pain. “I can… bring some emergency medication.”

“I need…” Beau said hoarsely. He knew what he needed, but could he say it? “I… Fuck, I need you, Loriun.”

A low, animalistic sound left Loriun’s throat. “Beau, I cannot come near you right now.”

“Please,” Beau moaned. He writhed beneath the sheets, searching out any stimulation that might ease the aching. “I just… I can’t think about anything else. I need your cock.”

Loriun’s crystalline eyes met Beau’s. “You’re… not in your right mind. I shouldn’t—”

Beau pushed himself to his hands and knees, crawling for the edge of the bed. “I can’t take it anymore. Fuck me, Loriun. I’m begging you.”

If there was any shame left in Beau’s body, it was burned away by the hungry look in his Alpha’s eyes. One tiny push, and he would snap. Beau could think of nothing better.

“I want you,” he whispered.

Loriun’s face shifted from tense to completely feral. With a growl, he launched himself into the room and flipped Beau onto his back.

He leaned back, eyes searing a path down Beau’s naked form. “You’re beautiful, Beau. Look at you.”

“Your clothes,” Beau started, but Loriun was already in motion. His webbed fingers made quick work of the buttons on his shirt, and he hurled it into the corner.

“The rest, too.” Beau’s gaze slashed down the Mer’s body.

Loriun grinned down at him, revealing a fragment of what lay beyond his calm, collected exterior. “You’re quite demanding, aren’t you?”

Beau yelped as Loriun’s fingers dug into his thighs, yanking his whole body lower on the bed. The bulge in the Mer’s slacks pressed against Beau’s hole. He moaned, trying fruitlessly to bear down on it. Loriun leaned over him, scarlet fins flared and pupils blown.

“I have been waiting to do this ever since I first laid eyes on you at the Sea Glass.” Loriun’s cool lips trailed along Beau’s chest, pausing to flick his nipples with his tongue.

Beau arched his back into the touch, craving more.

Loriun continued his way down, kissing, tasting, and nipping the overheated skin of Beau’s stomach. He paused when he reached the swollen head that rested below Beau’s navel.

Beau moaned, pushing his hips up.

The Alpha flashed a wicked smile before sliding his lips over Beau’s tip.

“Fuck.”

Red hair flowed over Beau’s hips as Loriun’s head bobbed up and down. Beau met his lips in a steady rhythm, panting and whimpering as he neared the edge. Just as he was about to spill over, Loriun’s lips slipped off and pressed a kiss to each hip bone.

“God, Loriun—”

“Patience, luae .”

A gentle, searching finger stroked Beau’s hole. His eyes rolled back in his head at the touch.

“Gaish ausye,” Loriun swore softly. “You’re so wet.”

Beau brought his own arm to his mouth and bit down as Loriun pushed inside. It wasn’t enough—not nearly enough.

A second finger joined the first, rocking a gentle pace into Beau’s slick-soaked hole.

“More,” Beau pleaded. “I need you inside me.”

A low rumble shuddered from Loriun’s chest. He drew back, fumbling with his belt buckle. As his sensible dress slacks slid to the ground, Beau’s jaw dropped. He’d seen Mer porn, just like any other Omega, but seeing it in person was a religious experience.

Loriun’s legs were roughly human in shape, but layered in dazzling, teal scales.

They traveled up his body, vanishing around his back as they reached his abs.

At the apex of his legs, a vertical slit was stretched wide by an enormous, tapered cock.

It was a pale shade of pink, with the faint shadows of blue veins throbbing under the skin.

“We can take it slow,” Loriun murmured, positioning himself between Beau’s thighs.

“No,” Beau gasped. “I don’t want slow. I want you to fuck me. ”

The Alpha gripped Beau’s hips, his eyes singeing a trail up Beau’s trembling body. His tip nudged inside.

“I plan to.”

Beau had to bite back a ragged cry as Loriun’s length eased its way inside him. His body was producing so much slick that he felt certain he could take the Mer to the hilt, yet even so, Loriun sank into him with caution.

“Fuck, luae , you feel so good,” Loriun groaned. “I don’t know if I can—”

“Don’t worry about hurting me,” Beau panted. “Just do it.”

In one swift motion, Loriun sheathed himself to the base. Beau bit down on his own arm again, muffling a wail. He was so deliciously full . It was unlike anything he’d ever experienced, and he desperately wanted more.

Loriun’s breathing grew unsteady as he began to rut into Beau. The Alpha’s eyes were wild with lust, and not even a shred of his former composure remained. Without breaking his pace, Loriun took hold of Beau’s painfully stiff cock and worked it in time with his thrusts.

“Yes, yes , just like that,” Beau cried out. His words left him as his Alpha fucked him over the edge. Cum struck his abs and chest, and clung to Loriun’s hand.

Loriun grunted at the tightening around his cock, driving home even harder, even faster.

“Oh fuck, yes ,” Beau gasped.

At his words, the Alpha slammed his hips into Beau’s in one, final motion. Cum filled him to the brim, and beyond. Beau could feel it trailing along his ass and onto the sheets. It was light, almost like foam. Little bubbles created a delightful sensation along his skin.

Beau propped himself up on his elbows, gazing up at Loriun. “Why didn’t you knot me?” It was an experience he’d only had with an artificial knotting dildo after seeing his first knot porn video.

Loriun’s webbed hands smoothed along Beau’s legs. “I’m not done yet, luae. Get on your hands and knees.”

The Mer’s cock withdrew, leaving Beau feeling emptier than before. Impossibly, Beau felt himself grow hard once again, jerking and twitching against his belly. As he hastened to obey, Beau noticed the cum that was now trickling down his thighs. It was foam. Thick, hot seafoam.

It shouldn’t have turned him on, but fuck, it did. Beau whimpered at the ache building in his cock and balls.

“Shhh,” Loriun soothed. “I’ll make you feel better.”

With a moan, Beau widened his stance, trying to make enough space for the massive Mer to kneel between his knees. Already, an eager tip stroked its way along his hole.

“Fuck—” Beau choked on his words as warm breath ghosted over his skin. Loriun’s tongue lapped at his rim, causing Beau to cry out. Without thinking, he shifted his weight and took his cock in his own hand.

“That’s right,” Loriun whispered between strokes of his tongue. “Touch yourself while I taste you.”

Beau could no longer form coherent words. He was a being that existed only in the sense of touch, and thrived on the sensation of Loriun’s tongue dipping into his hole. Beau’s hand pumped his shaft, feeling himself racing toward climax once again.

“Come for me, luae, ” Loriun said, before plunging his tongue deep inside of Beau. He careened over the edge, his length jerking in his grasp as he came on his Alpha’s tongue.

“Good,” Loriun purred. “But surely you’re not done already, are you?” A fresh wave of musk and pine cascaded over Beau’s senses, filling his bloodstream, and coursing between his thighs.

The Mer’s hand traced along Beau’s side, and under his body, taking hold of Beau’s stiffening cock. A growl of approval rumbled from Loriun’s chest.

“I don’t know how long I can handle this.” Beau moaned. “My body is going to give out.”

“No.” The hand began a gentle coaxing motion, skating along Beau’s belly as it did. “You were built for this, my Omega. You were built to take my cock again and again.”

Beau’s heart stuttered over the words “my Omega,” but the haze of lust clouded any thought processes beyond that. In one swift motion, Loriun twisted Beau onto his back. He hit the mattress with a startled yelp. The Alpha loomed over him, fins flared and tapered member rock hard.

Beau had never seen something so inhumanly beautiful.

“I’ve been doing this your way, Beau,” Loriun said in a low, gravelly tone. “But now, it’s my turn.”

Before Beau could ask what that was supposed to mean, Loriun yanked him up into his arms, as if he were little more than a rag doll. The Mer flung the bedroom door open and prowled toward the pool of sea washing gently into the living room.

Oh. Any other time, he’d be hesitant to plunge into cold water for the purposes of sex, but his scalding skin sang at the very thought.
