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,

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?
