Siren Adult Fairy Tale

The Merman

Is she just lonely or does Lady Cynthia Lucas really hear a phantom voice calling to her in the night? True, the Cornish coast is infamous for stories of the supernatural, but this seems different somehow…and so real.

Or is this a game, waiting to drown her in watery empire where she would find a hollow-hung ocean green, and moss beds under the sea…and the virile lover who waits for her in a hazy, splendid dream?

Prince Armand has no use for poetic words, but he does need a human bride. Destiny has stepped in and he is helpless against the rush of the tide. If he can pull off acting the gentleman and lure the lady into his arms—and the sea—the prophecy will be fulfilled and the merman will find his one true love…

REVIEWS for The Merman [A Siren Adult Fairy Tale]

4.5 Kisses: "Goodness, Armand is sexy!  From the first scene to the last, he’s absolutely captivating and dangerously delicious.  Cynthia is equally delightful, making their pairing completely divine!  The Merman is a fast, creative and very entertaining story.  Emma Wildes continues to breathe new life into the Regency era with her unique voice, which is why I always find myself looking forward to her next release!" —Kerin, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Hearts: "The Merman is an interesting and oh, so, sexy twist on the fairy tale versions I grew up with. Prince Armand is enigmatic and strange, but the locals excuse him because he is royalty, after all. He is honest with Cynthia about who he is and why he’s come, but he speaks to everyone else in riddles. Prince Armand is doggedly determined to make Lady Cynthia his bride, even going so far as to court her within the normal human confines until Lord Lucas, Lady Cynthia’s father, is convinced he will be a good husband and make her happy. Lady Cynthia is the Fates’ chosen mate for Prince Armand and he is quite pleased with her innocent curiosity about his naked body and sex in general. She is also curious and open to new experiences, which makes her his perfect match. They are sexually compatible as proven by their very lusty and explicit encounter on the beach. The Merman is one very hot fairy tale. I enjoyed the story very much. My education could never be complete without it."  —Karen H., The Romance Studio

"A sweet short story, The Merman instantly captures the reader’s attention, dazzling with intriguing seduction as lusty tension quickly builds between the young couple. Ms. Wildes continues to pen superb characters that breathe life into her imaginative historical stories. Cynthia has loved the sea since a child, her father teaching her to swim out of fear she would drown. Adventurous and studious, she goes against appropriate female respectability, though traits Armand finds attractive. For two decades, he waits for the woman who is to become his mate. Now, Armand comes to the Cornish coastline to bring her home, to his underwater kingdom. First, he must tell of his world and the people she will live amongst, after he joins with her in the tradition of people. He hopes that she will believe his tale. The Merman charms and enchants, delivering an absorbing read."  —Pamela, Romance at Heart

EXCERPT

 

Everywhere he touched, her skin tingled, and Cynthia could not stifle the low moans coming from her throat. His hand drifted across her thigh, touching, exploring, and finding the wetness between her legs with deft skill.

“So hot, so womanly, so perfumed with your scent,” he whispered in her ear as he began to stroke her sex, parting her labia. “You are ready for our joining, and so am I. My heart races and I am so hard it is almost painful. Can you feel how much I want you, my beautiful lady? I have waited almost two decades for this, most of my life. You have waited for me too, even if you did not realize it. Now, spread your legs and welcome me.”

Mindless now, her quivering body needing something she didn’t quite understand, Cynthia complied without shame, opening her thighs wide as he positioned himself between them, her hands imploring on his hard shoulders. “Armand,” she breathed out in a gasp.

“An ordinary man would cause you pain your first time,” he said, staring into her eyes intently. “I will not. Just enjoy, my love, for I am surely going to give as well as take. Pleasure for pleasure, and just the beginning for us.”

My love.

He was right too, for as she felt the penetration of his rigid cock stretch her vaginal passage, there was no pain, but instead an almost excruciatingly wonderful sense of possession and physical joy. The loss of her virginity was nothing but a small twinge as he pushed past the barrier and the flooding bliss that held her entire body prisoner seemed to escalate into something completely beyond her control the instant he was embedded inside her. Cynthia arched wildly and gave a low scream of both surprise and ecstasy.

She clung to him as the force of her orgasm made the world go blank, the feeling so intensely marvelous that she couldn’t breathe. Armand did nothing but simply hold her, lightly kissing her mouth in soft, tender touches of his lips until her body relaxed slightly.

“That was fast, my passionate lady. You like having me inside you,” he said teasingly, his breath warm against her ear as he began to move slowly, sliding backwards until she feared he would slip free, and thrusting back inside so deep she could feel the swollen tip of his hard shaft against her womb.

Of course she liked it, for she never dreamed that sexual pleasure would be so wonderful. “Yes,” she admitted, running her hands over the bunched muscles of his back, feeling his power and strength. “You feel…” she searched for the words that would suffice, intoxicated with the rapture of what he was doing to her body. Finally, she gasped out, “Like something from beyond my imagination. Nothing this wonderful can be real, Armand.”

In the starlight, his clear eyes looked almost fierce. “It is real, and I am real.” He spoke tersely, thrusting faster, holding her gaze. “I am your lover, Cynthia, not an imaginary creature from some fable, and you are mine.”

The possessive note in his voice somehow escalated her blissful pleasure, and almost as if he willed it, she felt that peaking burst rise again, to crash over her like a towering wave. He rode this one with her, and as she felt the ripples of her inner muscles tighten around his glorious invasion, he went entirely still. As he climaxed, he whispered something in a language she did not recognize, the words beautiful as they echoed out, and she felt the liquid warm rush of his seed.

Slowly the stars came back into focus, and she could once again hear the low wash of the waves on the beach. Armand held her close, stroking her skin with one long-fingered hand, his face serene and a small smile hovering on his lips. He had shifted slightly to the side, but they were still nestled together intimately, their damp bodies entwined. “If you have questions for me,” he said after a long silence in which they regained their breath after such a glorious moment, “I will do my best to answer them now. Before, I was a bit distracted.” A low laugh punctuated the last statement. “And as I intend to become distracted again very soon, now seems the right time.”

Cynthia wasn’t even sure where to start. She rested her cheek against one hard shoulder and waited a moment before she murmured, “Do you really come from a small kingdom on an island in a distant sea?”

“Yes, indeed. I have never lied to you. There are not many of us any longer, but what there are live there together. It is a beautiful place, and you will love it.”

She lifted up a little so she could see his expression. “You plan to take me there?”

“Of course. You are my mate.” His smile glimmered. “Would I travel all this way to seduce you and then leave without you?”

His mate?
