The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 44

Even though I couldn’t tell what the scary being before me was thinking, I could tell that he was furious.

If his actions from before were done in his normal mood, I didn’t dare to think what would have

happened if he was angry. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

My heart felt like it was in my throat as the feeling of impending danger made my whole body tense.

Dicken bent down and I thought he was about to snap my neck in half with his jaw, but he just stuck his

nose to my collarbone and inhaled my scent like an addict.

He said some things he had never said before and it sounded like he said the words ‘I’ and ‘you’ in

Japanese. Then it sounded like he was saying ‘You are mine’ in Japanese. I was shocked when I

realized he was speaking to me in my mother tongue. Was he learning Japanese?

It hadn’t even been that long since he was caught. How could he have learnt Japanese within such a

short span of time? As if he was trying to help verify my thoughts, he leaned closer to my upper neck

and I felt his hot breath on my ear.

He enunciated slowly as he was still getting used to the language, but the words he said were clear, “I

‘ll let you know me…“ With his gentle and sensuous tone, it seemed like Dicken wanted to discuss

something. I couldn’t completely follow what he meant but luckily he wasn’t angry or forceful.

I allowed myself to calm down and tried to communicate with him. I subconsciously still feared that he

would tear my blanket off and r*pe me within the next second, so I stammered and I said, ” What are

you saying? What are you allowing me to do?” ”Know me everything… ”

He tried his best to adapt to Japanese pronunciation, piecing his thoughts together in words, trying to

get me to understand him. He saw that I was still confused, so he picked up the flashlight he had

tossed earlier and shone the beam of light on himself.

It was like he was putting himself in a spotlight and presenting himself to me. He then looked me in the

eyes and smiled as he said, ”The things you want to know, everything.” I was still dumbfounded at first,

but a few seconds later I finally realized what he was trying to say to me.

My heart started racing as my curiosity that was previously suppressed by fear had resurfaced again. I

couldn’t deny that he was the biggest temptation to a biologist. What Dicken meant was clear. He said

that he will allow me to conduct research on him, and will give me all the information he had on

merpeople.

I in return, had to… He wanted… When my thoughts drifted here, I tensed my fists. ”They will know,

you are mine… ” As I was anxiously deliberating the matter, Dicken looked into my eyes and didn’t utter

a single word. It was like he had caught on to a weakness of mine.

He was so sly, he already knew what my Achilles’ heel was. But I couldn’t refuse, I had no right to. If I

were to refuse Dicken, I would have been raped by a beast for nothing and I would have given up the

chance to conduct research on him.

And to top it all off, when Laura came back, she would find out that no progress was made in those few

days. They would suspect that something wasn’t right and launch an investigation on me, especially

since they were being supported by the government. Then, the matter of me being raped would be

exposed!

I could not let them find out about this. If they did, I wouldn’t be able to carry on with pride as a human

being… I broke out in cold sweat just from the thought of everything being exposed. Thoughts of

suicide even began slowly creeping up in my mind.
