The Mermaid
Matt caught the girl in his arms, easing her to the ground. He hadn’t known what was swimming toward him when he noticed the disturbance in the lake. But spying the nasty creature in pursuit of whatever swam toward shore, he had watched with interest. Seeing a human head appear above water had shocked him. A girl was desperately trying to out-swim the beast. And doing a good job of it. But when she banged her legs against the shoreline, he’d thought she was done for. The huge eel snapped at her feet before she lunged forward. Reacting without thinking, he’d grabbed one of her hands and pulled her to safety.
Now she was here, in a faint or exhaustion. His first thought after seeing her in the water was that she was the mermaid he’d dreamed of just last night. Her swimming ability was too fast for human strength. But examining her quiescent form, human limbs met his eyes. Softly, so as not to disturb her, he ran one finger down the webbing between her hands. Running his eyes downward, he nodded to himself. Webbed feet too. Not quite human. Mutant.
She shivered. She might be in shock. He grabbed his blanket and then broke more thick branches to stoke up the campfire. Matt didn’t want to awaken her until her body told her it was time, but she still looked uncomfortable. Taking another blanket, he rolled it and placed it gently beneath her head. Ah. Now, that was better. He felt her pulse. It was strong and her breathing had seTitleed to a slow, steady rhythm.
SeTitleing a few feet away, he stared at her in wonder. When he’d made his decision to come outside a few weeks ago, he expected to find the world totally different from the underground world he’d grown up in. But, he’d never expected to discover such a glorious woman. True, she wasn’t totally human, yet she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on.

“A dip in cool water sounds wonderful. Do you mind if I come along?”
Did he mind? Did she have any idea what men fantasized about? Gorgeous, naked nymphs were prominent in many dreams. His lips quirked at his own ridiculous thoughts, certain that she only meant a refreshing swim.
Thankfully, the pool was only a five-minute hike. He was already overheated from his work and walking in the sunshine for even those few minutes had his system screaming for relief.
He paused in the shade, soaking up the coolness that seemed to reside in this lovely place. The ten foot wide pool was a natural formation caused by the tumble of stones that blocked the sparkling stream in just the right spots.
“Ah,” Marielle sighed. “It is very nice.”
With that statement, she slipped out of her bra in seconds, then untied her skirt and left it lying on the ground as she stepped into the water.
“Coming?”
He’d never wanted to come so bad in his life as he did when he got a bird’s eyes view of the beautiful girl standing stark naked in the sunlight. Smooth, tanned flesh met his eyes everywhere he looked. Her small, pert breasts made his mouth water and her dark pink beaded nipples begged for his caresses. Matt’s stomach knotted. Her nipples were long, maybe an inch in length. What would such luscious breasts taste like in his mouth? His cock was hard, pushing against his fatigues painfully.
His eyes slid down her brown skin to her lower lips. Pale blonde hair lined the lips, so fine he could see the pinkness of her flesh through it. His cock ached at the sight.
“Do you think I’m pretty?” She smiled, her snowy white teeth a startling contrast against her tanned face.
“Pretty?” Matt repeated like an idiot. His eyes fixated on her lovely gray-green orbs. “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.”
“Good. Now, with that out of the way, can we swim?” She dove into the pool, coming up like some luscious water nymph, her hair plastered to her body. It swirled around those round breasts, tantalizing and partially hiding them, while the water lapped against her upper thighs.
Matt shuddered and tried to get a grip on his senses. He was close to climaxing just looking at her.
“Besides,” she said with a flirtatious tone. “It’s only fair I get to see you nude as well.”
