Mermaid Girlfriend: Katori (complete)

    I was never interested in romance and the like when I was young. I was always too busy furthering my own goals and becoming who I wanted to be. I wanted to rule the ocean when I grew up, so the idea of dates or whatever never really crossed my mind. Even as I grew older, I had a regime to run, people to protect, faces to break. The idea of family crossed my mind several times, but it was one of those things I pushed aside. 

    It wasn’t until I saw Katori that I felt like I had opened my eyes for the first time. She was so beautiful and lovely, I stopped breathing. She was so pale and white, and her golden splotches shone like the sunrise. Even the big spot that covered her face was beautiful. Katori was the first person I ever looked at and knew my heart didn’t belong to me.

Katori was so small and skittish when I first brought her home. She had been beaten into submission before, kept as a decorative ornament more than anything. I wanted to see her smile even just once, I wanted her to light up a room with her laughter. I so wanted Katori to bloom and open up to the world. I loved her so much, I would do anything for her.

When she first kissed me, I thought I might die, but soon our romance grew together and not only did I love her, but she loved me in return. I was beyond elated, I was more than happy. I had the one thing in the world that would make me forever the most powerful creature in the ocean. My wife.

We were married, but it was a rocky start. For the first few weeks after our marriage, I kept having to leave her side. There were deals to strike, necks to crack, fear to reap. The only thing that kept me going was knowing Katori was at home waiting for me. Ever since I took down the son of the Oyabun to save Katori, my neck has been on the line. It’s a messy business I keep away from the village and especially my own home.

Katori had been raised to be the wife of the Oyabun, so she knew what this world was like. Still, I wanted to keep her from it and protect her since no one did while at the mansion. She was guarded, but no one looked after her. It was my mission as her new husband to see to her security and comfort. And if I couldn’t do that, then I didn’t deserve to have a goddess like Katori as a wife. 

Recently, Katori had been trying to learn to cook from her mother. All the years she was raised to be the wife of the Oyabun, she was never made to cook or learn to do chores. It was during my absences away from home that she was learning to do these things. Cooking was her main goal since she knew I enjoyed her mother’s cooking.

I came home one day after having been gone for a few nights. I hadn’t slept much, and I was exhausted and aching. A big fight had broken out. I don’t want to get into the details. I won, of course, but even I still get hit from time to time.

Anyways, I came home and smelled something from the kitchen. I swim to the door and peek inside. Katori is at the stove while her mother stands back and watches over her. Katori’s apron is a mess and she looks frazzled as she rolls something along the hot cooktop.

“Ow!” She cries out and I smell blood in the water. I swim to her, wrapping my arms from behind her. 

“You’re home!” Her elation melts into a pout. “It’s not ready yet.” She places her tiny hand over the dumpling she was trying to make.

I lift up her hand, seeing she has burnt her finger on the hot surface of the lava stove. I suck the tip, tasting her blood. I then have a pulse go through my body. I take a deep breath and my gills sting as if cut by fire coral. For a moment, my whole body is coursing with the energy of a raw nerve.

“You’re hurt.” Katori floats up to see the cut on my face. She smooths her fingers along it and frowns. “What happened?”

I take another deep breath and chuckle. I kiss her palm and keep it held against my face. “Nothing, my princess. Nothing worth mentioning anyway.” I kiss her and the raw nerve feeling happens again. My hands tighten around her waist and I press her close to me. I feel as though I am unable to kiss her enough. I want to devour her in a purely carnal way.

Katori’s mother clears her throat very loudly. “I understand you two are newlyweds, but please!” She scoffs.

I chuckle, still keeping my hand on Katori. “Forgive me, Mother,” I smirk at her. “Can I be alone with my bride for a spell?”

Mother rolls her eyes and leaves, swimming away as Katori catches her breath. 

“What was that?” Katori coos. “You were so...hungry.”

I try to brush past it. The raw feeling has passed and I kiss her again. “I just missed you is all, my lovely little cuttlefish.”

Katori giggles as I cover her with kisses. She pushes against my chest and smiles at me. “I was trying to make you my first meal by myself.” She eyes the top of the lava stove angrily. “But I couldn’t get it right.”

I take the sloppy bun she was trying to fold and gather all the loose contents into my palm. I shove it all in my mouth, chewing it slowly. Katori watches me with anxious eyes and she fidgets as my hand still palms her tail.

I lick my chops and give her a satisfactory grin. “You’ve gotten much better, my princess.” I kiss her cheek. “The flavor is wonderful.”

“Is it really?” Katori gasps. “I’m so happy you like it!”

I nuzzle to her neck. “You’ll get there, it takes time. No one is perfect when they start.” I lift her chin up and gaze at her beautiful face. “Except for me, of course.”

Katori scoffs and gently bites my finger. The sensation of it courses through me, and I feel lightheaded and wonderful at the same time. 

“I missed you,” Katori coos. “Are you going to have to go again?”

“Not for a while,” I murmur. “At least for the rest of the day, you can command your willing husband to do as you please.”

Her small, soft smile is dangerous for me. All she has to do is flash it and I am weak putty in her tiny hands.

“You look tired.” She takes my hand and leads me towards the bedroom. “Why don’t you come lay down with me?”

I glide the tip of my tongue along the edges of my teeth. “Is that all you want, my princess?”

Katori has me lay down in bed first and she fluffs the pillows for me. “For now, it is.” She curls up against my side. “I know how hard you work and you have bruises.” Her fingertips glide along my skin and I shiver, feeling that aching, raw feeling again.

“You know I don’t notice such things.” I kiss the top of her head.

“I know you don’t like me being privy to your business, but I worry so much.” Katori sits up and looks down at me. “I would like for you to be able to tell me things. Not knowing where you are or what you’re doing leaves me so full of doubts.”

I slip my fingers under her chin. “Princess,” I whisper lovingly. “Why do you doubt?”

“Because even the strongest of creatures can fall.” She runs her hand down my chest to my belly. “No matter how great and mighty you are, there is always a chance. Someone could get the upper hand or worse even. What if someone were to betray you or take the cowardly way?”

I sit up and cup her face between my palms. “I do not blame your doubts. But never ever believe I won’t come back to you. I will always find a way to return to your arms.”

Katori kisses my palm and snuggles into it. “I know that.”

I pull her down onto the bed with me, having her lay on my chest as I relax. I run my hand up and down her back, enjoying the feeling of her. When I first brought her here, she was so tiny and thin. Ever since, she has started putting on weight and she has the most remarkable curves. I would love her and adore her at any size, but her being healthy and happy is what matters most.

“Oh!” Katori gasps and sits up.

“Mm?” I’m half asleep.

Katori giggles and snuggles up to me again. “You’re getting rather amorous, aren’t you?” She says with a soft, shy voice.

“What do you mean?” I grumble.

Katori presses her lips to my ear. “You’re unsheathed.”

I lift my head and glance down, seeing my cock has come out. I sigh and lay back on the pillow. “I didn’t tell it to do that, I swear.”

Katori kisses me. “I wonder,” she murmurs.

“What?” I grumble as I sit up.

Katori bites her lip. “I’m close to my cycle.” She gives me a coy look. “Your body could be responding to me.” 

My cock has slipped back into the sheath, but the ache of it won’t go away. “I’m always turned on by you, princess, that’s nothing new.”

“I know, but-” she shrugs. “It does happen, especially when mates are close. If the one producing the egg is fertile, their pheromones can induce a heat in their mate. That way, fertilization is assured.”

I scoff and flop back down on the bed. “So you’re making me go into a heat?”

Katori lays back down beside me. “Have you felt strange at all?”

I continue to ignore the exposed nerve feeling of my body, especially the fact that my cock is still uncomfortably hard despite being sheathed. “Why? Do you want me to become some sex hungry mongrel and fuck you into oblivion?”

Katori giggles and draws her fingertip on my chest. “I love having sex with you,” she coos. “I like feeling your weight on top of me and all your-” she clears her throat, “power inside me.”

My cock becomes unsheathed again. “You vile temptress,” I tease.

“I’ll take care of it. I know you must be tired.” Katori’s little hand barely fits around my cock. She strokes me, kissing my neck and biting my shoulder. I seethe and moan, rutting into her palm. I get more pleasure from her chest against my body, her teeth digging into my shoulder. I dig my fingers into her tail, gripping and kneading as she bites down on me again.

“Katori,” I moan. My hips jerk and my whole body feels struck by lightning. I writhe and pump into her hand before falling and settling onto the bed.

She giggles, seeing the water is cloudy around my tip. She shoos it away and snuggles up next to me. “Go to sleep now,” she sings.

I’ve never been one to wake up leisurely, in fact, it could take an entire army blasting trumpets to even get me to move. But the following day, I wake up to an overwhelming flood of sensations on my body. The lightning from Katori’s touch is still all over me. I feel faint and hot all at once. I’m painfully aware I am alive, but somehow numb to everything as well.

Katori is at her vanity plucking dead scales from her skin and smoothing an ointment onto her fins. She sees me in the mirror and turns around to look at me.

“Oh, wow!” She gasps. “You’re awake!”

I grunt and shake my head. “Miracle of miracles, right?”

Katori floats to my side. “Well, good morning!” She kisses my cheek and I have to hold myself back from her. “Oh-” she places her palm over my forehead. “You’re so hot!”

I grin at her. “Aren’t I always, my princess?” I try to play all this off. 

Katori frowns and gives me the evil eye. “You’re burning up, Mr. Smolder.” She scoffs at me. “Do you feel alright? Are you sick?” She goes to touch my forehead again, but I stop her. I grab her wrist and pull her in close.

“I’m fine, I swear. Just slept hot.” I kiss her and realize how bad that is. I am starved beyond measure. I am on dry land with no water in sight except for Katori. I pull away from her and my throat closes up from frustration.

“You sure?” Katori goes to swim closer, but I get up from the bed and move away.

“I’m fine, jeez,” I chuckle. “Don’t worry about me. Keep doing everything you’d do like I am still asleep. I’m going to go for a quick swim.”

Katori huffs, placing her hands on her hips. “Ok, fine,” she scoffs.

I zip off once her back is turned. I go outside and beyond the village where I feel I can breathe. The hunger is still there, but it is manageable. It is all I can do to keep from grabbing Katori and ravaging her until the following night.

So it is true, I am going into heat. This isn’t good, the way my body is reacting to Katori. I don’t know if she can take it. Our first few times making love were difficult. Our size difference isn’t just in appearance. Physically, I am quite large for Katori’s petite body, in more ways than one. Our first time was disastrous to me. It hurt her and I spent the whole night taking care of her and making up for it. For a while, I was so scared it would hurt again, I only used my fingers and mouth to pleasure her. It took her a long time to convince me to penetrate her again. While it didn’t hurt as badly, it was still a stretch.

This heat could prove disastrous. If I took her the way this desire wanted me to, I could do something horrible to her. I don’t want to hurt her at all, but I just can’t vanish during this cycle. Can I? Perhaps if I leave for a while and return home, it will be over and I won’t snap into a heat. As long as I keep my distance, things should be ok.

But that isn’t fair to Katori. She just told me that me leaving without telling her things was causing her severe anxiety. 

I go home, where Katori is fixing the bed. I feel the deep animal calling in my body. It’s becoming unbearable and I grit my teeth to push it down.

Katori looks up at me. “Everything ok?”

“No,” I say suddenly. Her eyes grow wide and she starts, but I cup my hand around her mouth. “I am going into heat.”

Katori squeals and puts her hands around my wrist. She looks...excited?

“No,” I snarl at her. “Katori, listen to me.”

She pushes my hand away from her mouth. “Now?” She asks. “Is it happening now? Why didn’t you tell me? If we do it right now, that’s ok! My mom isn’t coming over today, so we can just go all day if you need to.”

I grimace. “Princess, no. That’s not what I-”

“I didn’t want to say anything, but I was really kind of hoping this would happen!” Katori giggles. 

“What?” I tilt my head to the side. “You wanted me to go into heat?”

Katori covers her face with her hands. “You’re always so timid when we make love,” she coos. “That first night, yes, it wasn’t good, but since then-” a dopey grin spreads across her face. “Whenever you’re inside me I just feel...Oh!” She squeaks.

I can’t believe what I’m hearing.

“But I think you’re so afraid of our difference in size that you won’t just let go.” She peers up at me. “I thought if you went into heat, you’d let go a little and would-” She looks away again. “I want all of you.”

I take a deep breath and my throat burns. “You’re right. I don’t want to hurt you. If I lost even an ounce of control, I could do something awful and I don’t want that.”

“I’m not as fragile as you think I am!” Katori snaps. “You can pound me into the rock and I’ll be fine!”

“I want to, Katori, but-”

“But what?” Katori snaps. “I know you won’t hurt me. I know you’ll be able to control yourself enough to stop from doing that. But I want you to let this heat course through you and through me!”

I look over her body, seeing her slit is starting to open. She’s aroused and I can smell it in the water. The lightning in my body shoots through me and I take hold of it. I grab Katori, pulling her to me and kissing her. 

Her fingers dig into me and she presses her body close. I moan out loud, frustrated and in agony. 

“It’s ok,” Katori coos. She kisses up my neck and licks along my jaw. “Take me. Use me.”

I snarl and throw her down on the bed. She gazes up at me with wide eyes and I descend upon her in a ravaged hunger. She moans and sighs, clawing down my back as I bite her. I drag my teeth down her skin and position her beneath me.

I’m already unsheathed and aching to be inside her. Katori mewls and slips her fingers inside herself. I watch as she does this. She moans and writhes for me, showing me how eager and ready she is. 

I take her then, replacing her fingers and easing my cock inside her. She stretches to take all of me and I feel the tightness of it. Her mouth hangs open wide and her eyes become hazy and unfocused.

I feel crazed, almost mad. I’m straining to keep my composure, but it’s a hard struggle. Katori’s hands graze up my arms and she holds me.

“Yes,” she gasps. “Nalunani,” she gazes up at me. “You feel so good.”

I stare down at her and see the elation in her eyes. I push deeper and she bites her lip and throws her head back. Her fingers dig into me and I start to move. Her inner walls cling to me, warm pink exposed as I thrust my hips. I watch her expression melt as I start to go the pace my body commands.

Katori’s voice cries out for me over and over, but never in the way I expected. She’s not in pain and she’s not crying for me to stop. She’s commanding me to go faster and harder, for more of me. I give her everything, thrusting her down hard into the bed and watching her quiver. Already, she’s squeezed hard around me once. Her body has twisted and writhed as she came. 

I keep going, taking everything my body wants and needs from her. She claws at my back and my arms, but every touch from her is divine pleasure.

Then the powerful wave comes. It knocks the breath from me and shakes me to my core. I spasm and Katori whimpers. 

“It’s coming out,” Katori moans. “Oh, gods.”

Every drop of me fills her and I am so deep inside already. I melt and collapse onto the bed, weighing her down. I have never felt so exhausted and spent in my entire life, and her satisfied sighs sound so pleasing.

“Are you ok?” I try to stave off the stupor coming over me. “You hurt? Ok?” I’m nearly brain dead.

“If I was hurt, wouldn’t I tell you?” She moves me easily so I’m laying on the bed. “You were wonderful, darling.” She kisses me. “I’ll be sore,” she giggles, “but for all the right reasons.”

“No hurt?” I’m drooling as I fall asleep.

“Go to sleep, you animal,” Katori soothes me.

I wake up and it’s dark out. Sitting up, I see Katori passed out beside me. My hips and backache, but aside from that, I feel so brand new and alive. I snuggle back down beside Katori, kissing her back and shoulders.

“Awake?” She rolls over to look up at me.

“I am,” I kiss her lips. “Now, tell me, honestly, are you hurt?”

Katori smirks. “I could take you again if that answers anything?”

“Really?” I’m beyond shocked. I had been so rough with her! I figured it would be weeks before she’d allow me to ravage her again.

Katori stretches and yawns. “I had many good dreams about you,” she winks. “Don’t tell me this heat was one and done?” She pouts.

“I, uh-” I’m still too stunned.

Katori closes her eyes. “You were so wonderful. The way you moved and everything was just-” she bites her lip.

“You’re serious? But the first time-”

“Was the first time!” Katori snaps. “It would have hurt with anyone.” She sits up and looks at me. “The more we do it, the more we grow used to each other. Didn’t it feel good to you?”

“Of course it did!” I sigh. “Being inside you is heaven.”

“It is for me too.” Katori smirks. “I want heaven again,” she moans suggestively. “I want to feel your seed inside me again.”

Lightning strikes. “Oh, Katori,” I growl.

Needless to say, we don’t leave the house for about three days. I’ve learned more about my own body in that time than I ever thought. Not to mention everything I have learned about Katori. In the days following, I know just the right way to touch her to get her in the mood. But I wouldn’t dare abuse such a power.

Knowing that I won’t hurt her has really relieved me and I know she’s excited about it too. My Katori is quite the hungry woman.

Another result of my heat is something else extraordinary; our first child. When Katori’s belly starts to swell, I grow so excited. I can only imagine what our first baby will be. I hope for a little girl just like Katori. I dream of a little boy like me. 

To both our shock, when the baby comes, it comes twice. Two little wriggling things are born, a boy and a girl. They have splotches on their tails and already have a few teeth. I hold both of them at once, admiring the chubby things.

“I can’t believe you did this,” I whimper as tears flood my eyes.

“Yeah, well, overachiever,” Katori sighs as she watches us. “You put a lot of yourself into it too,” she laughs.

I sniffle and kiss each baby, despite their fussing at me. I lay them in bed with Katori and sigh as they fall asleep. “What should we call them?”

“I thought about it,” Katori murmurs. “Nani,” she points to the girl, “and Tori,” she points to the boy. 

I whimper again as tears spill. “Really?”

“Really,” she grins.
