Merman Boyfriend: Kekoa (special preview)

Kekoa sighs. “I fell for it,” he grumbles. “Especially with how you handle the little people.”

“Kids?” I ask.

“Yeah, the gross small versions.” Kekoa smiles up at me and takes hold of my hand. “It made me think how my Hau only has me now, and how much I don’t want him to be alone.”

“Your son?” I glance down at Kekoa and see his gentle, soft expression. “Hau, is it?”

Kekoka nods. “My mate abandoned Hau and I.” He grimaces and looks down at the water. “Ever since, I have devoted everything to Hau.”

I hold Kekoa’s hand with both of mine and squeeze. “I don’t know what to say, other than I am so sorry.”

Kekoa cuts his eyes up at me and smiles again. “It’s quite alright.” He loops his arms around my neck again and presses his body close to mine. “Once we mate, I know you’ll erase their memory from my body.”

My face burns hot and I look away. “Do all the merfolk move this fast?”

Kekoa giggles. “Only when we know what we want.” He moves in, pressing a kiss to my neck, then my jaw. He kisses up my cheek and I turn my head, meeting his soft kiss on my lips. 

“Isn’t that nice to give in.” Kekoa moans. He then slips back into the water.

“Wait,” I gasp, “where are you going?”

“I’ll be back,” Kekoa winks. “No worries. I just wanted to give you a sample of what could be.” He dives under the water, vanishing away. 

The next day, as I’m getting ready to head home, something skitters onto the beach in front of me. It’s a shell. As I go to pick it up, something strikes me in the head. Looking up, I see Kekoa peeking around the rocks.

I wade into the water, going to meet him. He drags me behind the rocks and presses my back against them. He kisses me hungrily, sucking my tongue and rubbing his hands down my body.

I put my hands around his waist, meeting his kiss before I come to my senses and push him away. “You need to give me some warning before you do that.”

“Did you miss me?” He smirks. “Because I had wonderful dreams about you.” His fingers hook into my trunks and he tugs them open. I slap his hand away and he grins devilishly. “Only a peek.”

I huff and roll my eyes. “I’m not easy.”

“I can handle a challenge.” Kekoa swims around me on his back, exposing his smooth and supple belly to me. 

“Are you trying to seduce me?” I scoff.

“If I was trying to do that, I’d be in your trunks by now.” Kekoa swats my bottom then rises up from the water. “Sakari said humans are strange with their rituals. What must I do for you to take my advances seriously?”
