A Mermaid's Kiss

by Katie Holland

  We pulled into the dorm parking lot and got out of the truck. I was so preoccupied with thoughts of my fingers on her naked pussy, that it took me a minute to register the noise. There appeared to be a group of very angry women outside of Kayleigh’s dorm.

  We made it through the group to find a campus security guard at the door.

  “Sorry,” he said, “only residents allowed in here.”

  “I live here,” Kayleigh told him, showing him her ID badge. “What’s going on here anyway?”

  “I guess some kid that lives here sent out some nasty emails to female students and they’re not too happy about it.

  I managed to keep my face neutral as we opened the door and walked into the building. The security guard made sure that the door was closed behind us. Neither of us said a word until we were in the elevator.

  “Holy shit,” I said.

  “No kidding. Who knew we’d come home to an angry mob. How bad were the emails?” she asked.

  “Pretty bad,” I told her.

  “Not that I should care, but do you think Wes is in danger?”

  “Nah, well, not as long as he stays in his room.”

  Kayleigh unlocked the door to their room. Bodie and Karma were huddled over a laptop.

  Karma looked up. “You guys gotta check this out.”

  We went to see what was up. I read what was on the screen. “Fuck me. Is this for real, Bodie?”

  “Yep.”

  Someone had already created a site dedicated to Wes, and it wasn’t a good one. It was full of hate directed toward him. Death threats, promises of bodily harm, and numerous mentions of doing terrible things to his manly parts.

  “I mean, I meant to draw attention to the guy, but these women have taken things to a level I didn’t expect,” Bodie said.

  “No fuckin’ shit,” I said. “These women are crazy. On a good note, we now know what women here not to get involved with.”

  Karma smacked me, but was smiling.

  “How long have you known about this?” Kayleigh asked.

  “About an hour,” Karma told her. “Bodie said the site was only started a couple of hours ago.”

  “Wow, they moved fast,” Kayleigh said. “Should we be worried?”

  “About what?” I asked.

  “I don’t know, maybe the angry mob downstairs and someone figuring out what really happened.” Kayleigh’s words dripped with sarcasm and it made me laugh.

  “Bodie’s the best, you don’t have to worry about that. And Wes doesn’t deserve anyone’s worry. He has serious issues that need to be dealt with.”

  Kayleigh looked at me but didn’t say anything. I didn’t understand how she could possibly care at all what happens to the douchebag after finding out what he did. I didn’t care if he burned to the ground. Maybe she was just kinder than I was.

  “Do you girls want to come to hang out at our place for the rest of the day?” I asked them.

  Bodie raised his eyebrows at me and Karma smiled.

  “If we’re over there we’ll be free of the angry women and won’t have to chance running into Wes, right?”

  “Yeah, sure,” Kayleigh said.

  Karma smirked at me. I was sure she knew it was just an excuse to spend the day with Kayleigh.

  The girls gathered up what they needed to study and we left. I think the number of women outside the building had grown in the short time we’d been upstairs. I was glad to be away from them. I think every guy with half a brain wouldn’t want to be anywhere near them.

  We spent the entire afternoon studying, well I tried to look like I was studying. My mind was back in the truck with my hand so close to Kayleigh’s pussy. I kept thinking back to when she let me touch her on the couch in her dorm. I wanted to watch her face and her body move because of me. Just thinking about it was making my dick move. I had to try to focus on the book in front of me.

  I managed to get a little bit of studying done before we went to eat. Bodie and I took the girls to dinner then we went back to their place. The mob of angry women was gone but the security guard was still there.

  “I wonder if Wes is here?” Kayleigh asked.

  I could hear the concern in her voice, but I didn’t know if it was for him or for herself. When we got off the elevator on their floor we ran into a very angry Wes.

  “This is all you’re fucking fault,” he said, getting in my face.

  “I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, but I suggest you get the hell out of my face asshole.”

  He tried to take a swing at me but Bodie grabbed his arm and pushed him against the wall.

  “Calm the fuck down,” Bodie said to him. “Go back to your room and stay there or this will be a fight you won’t win. Next time I won’t stop you and he’ll kick your ass.”

  Wes vibrated with anger. Bodie slowly released him. I think he was waiting to see if Wes was going to go apeshit. His fists were clenched at his sides but he didn’t start swinging again. He stalked off. Karma unlocked their door and we went in.

  Chapter 49

  Kayleigh

  “Fuck Bodie, that was hot,” Karma said, as she shut the door.

  Major burst out laughing and Bodie smiled. I think they were learning that you never quite knew what Karma was going to say.

  “Are you okay?” Major asked me.

  “Yeah, I’m fine. Would you really have fought him?”

  “Fuck yes I would have. He needs to be put in his place. He’s dangerous now, like a cornered animal so until he’s kicked out I’m your shadow.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “Where you go, I go.”

  “I’m not sure that’s necessary. And besides, you have classes to go to,” I told him.

  “This isn’t negotiable Kayleigh. I don’t trust that fucker as far as I can throw him, so that means you’re stuck with me for a while.”

  I nodded and that seemed to satisfy him. The truth was that Wes had scared me in the hallway and having Major with me made me feel safer. And if I was being really honest with myself, I was still thinking about what almost happened in the truck and really wanted to finish what he started.

  The four of us settled in and watched a movie. When it was over Major got up and went to the door with Bodie.

  “I’ll be right back,” he told me. “Do not open this door to anyone but me or Bodie.”

  We agreed and locked the door behind them.

  “Who knew that coming to college would make little ol’ Kayleigh Mills the center of a controversy,” Karma said to me.

  “Whatever. Don’t forget that no one actually knows what’s going on.”

  “Fine. I’ll change the subject. How hot was it to watch the guys get all defendy in the hallway?”

  “Defendy? Really?”

  “Yes really. Come on Kayleigh, don’t avoid my question.”

  “Maybe it could have been hot but I was kind of scared of Wes. I was relieved when Major said he was going to be my shadow. I may be good at self-defense, but I don’t think that would help very much against an angry Wes. He’s pretty big and athletic. I’d rather not have to test my skills against him.”

  “I hadn’t even thought about that. I’m sorry.”

  “It’s ok. It’s still hard to believe that he seemed like such a nice guy and then we see what he’s really like. It’s amazing that people can act so different from who they really are. Do you think that Major and Bodie did the right thing?” I asked.

  “You bet your ass I do. After seeing the pictures he had it was only a matter of time before he acted on them. It’s not safe to have him here.”

  “Is he safe anywhere?”

  “Maybe this is his opportunity to get help,” Karma said.

  “Making someone get help doesn’t mean they will actually change.”

  “I know, but maybe this is a wakeup call. Why do you care what happens to him anyway?”

  “Major asked me the same thing. I don’t know. I guess I knew the good part of him
and that’s what I still think of.”

  “You have always seen the good in people, well except when it came to Major.” Karma grinned at me.

  “Does it count that I see the good in him now?”

  “Sure, that totally counts,” Karma said very sarcastically.

  “Whatever,” I said, laughing and threw a pillow at her.

  She threw it back and then launched herself at me. I knew she was going to try to tickle me. It was something she’d done since we were kids. I managed to block her attempts for a minute or so, but one of her hands found its way to my side. I was extremely ticklish on my sides and started screaming and laughing at the same time. We heard banging on the door and that stopped both of us.

  “Kayleigh, let me in,” someone yelled from the other side of the door.

  Karma went and looked through the peephole and opened the door. It was Major.

  “Is everything okay in here?” he asked, with a very serious face.

  Karma and I both burst out laughing. I finally managed to tell him we were just fine.

  “Sorry for scaring you,” I told him. “I think Karma was trying to distract me.”

  “You started it,” she said.

  “Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.”

  Major was just shaking his head at us. People did that a lot so we were used to it.

  “Whatcha got there?” I asked him, pointing to the two bags he had with him.

  “Just some clothes for tomorrow and a few books.”

  “Oh,” I said feeling my cheeks heat up.

  I know Major noticed but surprisingly didn’t say anything. I could also tell that Karma was trying to hold in whatever she wanted to say and to her credit she did.

  “I think that’s my cue. Good night you two,” she said, and disappeared into the bathroom.

  Major put down his bag and came over to me.

  “Are you sure this is okay? I mean me staying here.”

  “Yeah, of course, it’s okay.”

  “You’re cheeks tell me something different than your mouth does.”

  “I guess I hadn’t really thought about you spending the night, and when I realized that, I thought back to the truck earlier.”

  I think I surprised him a little, because his one eyebrow went up and he grinned at me. Then he leaned in close to me.

  “I’ve been thinking about that all day,” he whispered.

  My heart started beating a little faster and I sucked in a breath. I wasn’t ready to have sex with him, but I really did want to see if he could make me come again or if the first time was a fluke. That thought sobered me and I stepped back from him.

  “What’d I say wrong?” he asked.

  “Nothing. It’s just me.”

  “Too fast?”

  “No, but I just had a thought. If we were to actually have sex can we still be friends? Your friendship is really important to me Major.”

  “Believe it or not our friendship is important to me too. I’ll make you a deal. We can try anything sexual you want and if you think it’s going to change things tell me to stop and I will. I don’t want to lose what we have.”

  “Okay, deal.” When I said those words I got a little nervous. I was nervous about things changing but I was more nervous about the thought of him not being able to make me come again. What if there was something wrong with me? Maybe I was the reason I’d never had an orgasm while having sex. Maybe the sex was great and I was bad at it.

  “Kayleigh, stop.”

  “Huh?”

  “I can see a million thoughts running through your head. Tell me what you’re thinking about.”

  “I don’t want to. It’s embarrassing.”

  “Now you really have to tell me,” he said smiling at me.

  I debated on it for a minute and decided to tell him. We’d promised to be honest with each other so it was time for me to live up to that.

  “I was wondering if the reason I never came during sex with my ex, is because I’m bad at sex.”

  “I don’t believe that for a second,” he told me. “First of all, you can make me hard with just a few words or a sound. Second of all, even if you were bad at sex you can get better.”

  As had become normal his words had me feeling better. “Thanks.” I wanted to say more, but I didn’t want to sound stupid so I left it simple.

  “Now,” he said, “Where can I put these?” He held up his bags effectively changing the subject.

  “I guess over here,” I said, pointing to the floor beside the couch.

  He set the bags down. I heard the bathroom door open and saw Karma trying to sneak to her room. Our place wasn’t big enough to not notice someone coming and going. I smiled at her effort, and got a little wave from her as she closed her bedroom door.

  “Would it be ok if I take a quick shower?” Major asked me.

  “Sure.”

  I gave him a towel and showed him where everything was. I left him to his shower. After leaving a pillow and a blanket on the couch I went to my room. Changing into my sleep shorts and t-shirt had me looking at the clock. It was after 10:00 and I was ready for bed, it had been a long day.

  I made sure my alarm was set and wondered if Major remembered that I had to be at the pool at 6:00 in the morning. I figured I’d better remind him so I left my room to see if he was still in the shower. The bathroom door was still closed but I didn’t hear the water running so I knocked.

  The sight that greeted me when he opened the door left me speechless for a moment. Major stood there in only the towel and I could see little drops of water on his chest.

  He grinned at me. “Can I help you with something?”

  “I … uh … yeah. I wanted to remind you that I have to be at practice at 6:00 in the morning,” I finally managed to say.

  “I remember,” he said, still grinning at me.

  “There’s also a pillow and blanket on the couch for you.”

  “Thank you. Do you need in here?”

  “Yeah, but I can wait until you’re done.”

  “I’m done,” he said and slid past me.

  I went in and closed the door. What was wrong with me? I’d seen him plenty of times at the beach with no shirt on and wet from the ocean but tonight it was making me forget how to talk. It had to be, because I knew he was going to be here all night. I didn’t have another explanation at the moment.

  I finished in the bathroom and walked back into the living room. Major wasn’t in there so that meant he was in my room. The door was open so I walked in. I wasn’t expecting to see him lounging on my bed in just his boxer briefs with only the bedside light on.

  All I could do was stare at him. It was a sight to behold.

  He patted the spot beside him. “Come and join me.”

  “I … uh …” was all I managed to say.

  “Kayleigh, close the door and come sit with me.”

  It sounded more like a suggestion, than a demand, and I found myself doing exactly what he asked. I sat on the bed and crossed my legs. I had no idea what to do because I didn’t know what he was thinking.

  “Relax,” he told me. “I thought since I was here it would be a good opportunity for you to sleep with me. And I mean just sleep, no sex or anything sexual, unless you want to of course.”

  His signature grin was back. Between his words and his smile, I relaxed. I laid back on my pillow and looked up at him.

  “How exactly is this supposed to help me? I assume this is part of my training,” I said, using air quotes.

  “You want to be more comfortable sexually right?”

  I nodded.

  “So that means being more comfortable around men. Do you agree?”

  “I guess so.”

  “Then I conclude that sleeping next to me will help to get you more comfortable around men in general.”

  I giggled. “I’m not sure that’s a valid experiment.”

  “Fuck it,” he said, grinning and laid down beside me.

  Chapter 50

>   Major

  I wasn’t exactly a small guy, and it was only a twin bed so it took some maneuvering to find the best position to lie in. We ended up with both of us on our sides, my chest facing her back. I put my arm over her and pulled her closer so that she was touching almost the full length of my body.

  Kayleigh moved a little, I think to get comfortable, but her ass wiggled right on my dick. I knew what was going to happen but I waited to see her reaction. Being this close to Kayleigh in her little shorts and shirt was bound to make me hard. Hell, that’s exactly what happened this morning and she wasn’t lying next to me then.

  She stopped moving when she felt me growing hard against her. I wasn’t expecting the giggle that escaped from her mouth.

  “Should I apologize?” she asked.

  “Never apologize for making me hard. But just so you know it’s a natural reaction when you wiggle your ass like that and it’s anywhere close to my dick.”

  “I wasn’t doing it on purpose.”

  “I know, but I wouldn’t mind if you did.”

  She was quiet for a minute before saying six words that I’d probably never forget.

  “Major, I want to touch you.”

  My almost hard dick was suddenly rock hard. Never in my life had just the thought of a woman touching me affected me so strongly.

  “You’re welcome to touch me anywhere you want. Did you have something specific in mind?”

  She nodded.

  “I’m all yours,” I told her. “Just tell me what you need.”

  She pulled the covers back. “Move to your back,” she told me.

  I did. I was curious what she had in mind. The lamp was still on so I could see her face. I loved watching her watch me. She moved so that she had her legs on either side of mine. She started by running her hand from my chest to the top of my underwear. It wasn’t hard to miss how hard my dick was right now.

  Her hand brushed my dick through my underwear and a hiss escaped my lips. She was barely touching me and I felt like I could already come. Kayleigh tugged my boxer briefs down just enough so she could get to my cock.

  When she wrapped her hand around me I had to close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. She was sexy as hell and the tentative nature of her touching me was going to make me lose it faster than I wanted. Watching her touch me was going to make me come twice as fast.
