The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 95

Gary’s expression suddenly changed. In astonishment, he asked, “You figured it out?“

I cackled coldly and said, “Have you forgotten? I’ve always received full marks for military-related Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

subjects. Why wouldn’t I be able to recognize an emblem like that? Why don’t you just tell me what’s

going on? And don’t even think that I’ll do anything else for you unless you give me a straight answer! “

The awkward atmosphere from earlier had vanished completely at that moment. My abrasive attitude

came as a shock to Gary, and he looked at me like he was confirming I was the same person he knew

before.

After a long time, he finally shook his head and replied coldly, “I can not disclose anything to those who

aren’t core members. This is a military mission. I’m sure you can understand the situation I’m in, Linda.

But I can assure you that I won’t put you in harm’s way again…“

He clutched my hand that was outside the blanket. Then, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and

his pupils dilated as he continued. “Linda…I won’t let that beast violate you…“

“Shut up! “ With the fury of a cat that had its tail stepped on, I glared at him intensely, and I even

clenched my fists, wanting to give him a good beating. “Say one more word and you’ll have a taste of

my fist!“

He stared at me for a while as he sat on the edge of my bed. Suddenly, he bent down and crushed my

body with his. I was locked into his embrace as he leaned down to try and kiss me.

But the moment his lips touched mine, the anger in me had erupted, and it fueled my legs with the

strength to kick him off the bed.

I huddled the blankets and inched closer to the wall to fix my clothes speedily. Then, like an animal that

had been provoked, I bellowed at him, “Get out! “

But Gary just stood there frozen.

Furious, I got down from the bed and pushed him out of the cabin before slamming the door shut.

After that, I felt the weariness start to take over my body, so I switched off the lights and lied down on

the bed.

I buried my face into the pillow, hoping to fall asleep without any more unnecessary thoughts. But

although my body was at its limit, the gears in my mind continued spinning.

Not knowing what else to do, I looked out the window and gazed at the foggy sea. My thoughts rose

and fell along with the rhythm of the waves as the words Dicken said before he left kept replaying in my

mind.

‘From his perspective, I must look like the one breaking my promise, huh? But I never actually agreed

to it to begin with.’

I suddenly found it funny that I was so concerned with something like this. ‘What is up with me? Have I

taken a liking to him? That’s absurd! It’s impossible ! That would be the joke of the century! ‘

Although I told myself that, I couldn’t bring myself to laugh at my own joke. That was because the

notion of coming up with such a shameful thought was driving me crazy.

I could only smash my head into the pillow, hoping that I could snuff out this absurd thought or that I

could knock myself out and fall asleep.

But my actions were obviously ineffective. At most, it was just a way to vent the emotions that I had

been bottling up for a while.

Boom!Boom!

The sound of thunder seemed to echo the flurry of emotions in me. Bolts of lightning streaked across

the night sky, foreshadowing the arrival of a storm.

This made me think of Dicken again. His appearance always seemed to be accompanied by a storm…

‘Damn it!’

I had to stop myself from thinking so much. I pulled the blanket over my head and closed my eyes.

The complete darkness eventually eased my consciousness as I slowly drifted to sleep. Suddenly, I

smelled the scent of a fragrance mixed with hormones. But what surprised me was that this fragrance

was emanating from my own body.
