The Tattoo of the Elf [The Triplet Mermen Trilogy]

by Casper Graham

  “True. Why this place?”

  “Because I want to give you a glimpse of where I lived before I moved into the mortal realm. Besides, Ofezra is full of pure, natural magic everywhere. Your siren magic can’t cross over in its awakened state, so it has to remain dormant within you as long as you’re here.”

  “That’s…that’s amazing.”

  The two of them remained like that for a moment longer. Baltic didn’t mind it at all, though. He was more than willing to stay in Jefferson’s embrace for eternity.

  “Are you hungry?”

  His stomach grumbled in that instant. He gave Jefferson a shy smile before responding. “Starving.”

  “Great. I’ve requested for some of my old friends here in Ofezra to prepare some food and drinks for us. Have you ever tasted the wine made by elves before?” Baltic shook his head, and Jefferson grinned widely. “You’re in for a treat then. Come with me.”

  He followed Jefferson toward the blanket that was spread on the ground. There were several kinds of breads, grapes, cheeses, meat, sauces, and a bowl of something he was unable to identify, along with the utensils and a few knives. There were also two bottles of wine next to the picnic basket and the two wine glasses. He waited in anticipation as Jefferson picked up the long breads, cheeses, meat, and sauces before combining them all to make sandwiches. Then, Jefferson cut a part of the sandwiches before passing it over to him. His mouth began to fill up with saliva as he smelled the delicious scent coming from the sandwich in his hand. It tasted even better when he bit down on a small portion of it.

  “Whoa…”

  “Yummy?”

  He bobbed his head up and down in his excitement. “Out of this world. What are the breads made of?”

  “Same ingredients as the ones in the mortal world, but the magic in this land amplifies everything. How do you like the beef?”

  “Tender and exquisite. I find it hard to believe it’s beef.”

  Jefferson snickered. “It is. The cows here feed on grasses, which grow through the magic in the land. I’m not kidding when I told you magic is everywhere.”

  Baltic plucked one of the grapes before popping it into his mouth and moaning in appreciation. “Damn. I wish I could bring these grapes back to my brothers. In fact, I want to take everything here back to Cas and Dray.”

  Jefferson laughed. “We can pack some of them. Or we can always bring your brothers here someday, along with Gav and Ed.”

  “Okay.” Then, Jefferson poured some wine from the first bottle. Baltic knew it would taste amazing because the scent alone was intoxicating. He was right. “This…this is like nothing I’ve ever had. Not even the wine in the ocean is as wonderful as this.”

  “It’s a mixture of dew collected from the leaves early in the morning before the sun rises, honey from the magical bees, and some herbs that only exist here in Ofezra. Among other ingredients, of course.”

  Baltic pointed at the other wine bottle. He was curious now. “What about the second bottle?”

  “Different ingredients. The sweetness of the wine is more subtle. We can have that with the dessert later.”

  “What dessert?”

  Jefferson indicated the bowl of food Baltic was unable to identify earlier. “That’s ice cream.”

  Baltic stared at the watery substance inside the bowl. “Are you sure? It’s runny, and it doesn’t look like any ice cream I’ve ever seen.”

  Jefferson smirked at him. “Let’s finish the sandwiches and grapes first. Then, we can get to the dessert.”

  Baltic was dying to get to the ice cream, but he could be patient. He and Jefferson chatted about the different food and drinks that could be found in the land of the elves and those that only existed deep in the ocean. When they were finally ready for the dessert, he opened his mouth widely as Jefferson fed him the first spoonful of liquid stuff from the bowl. He was astonished when he realized Jefferson wasn’t teasing him about it being ice cream. The liquid thing in the bowl was really cold inside his mouth. The flavor was similar to a combination of vanilla and mint, along with a hint of mango as an aftertaste, but at the same time, it was foreign enough for him to be confused.

  “Mango?”

  Jefferson shook his head. “It’s grape-flavored.”

  “I think it’s mango.”

  “Nope. It’s a kind of grapes that only exist in the land of the elves. I’m sure you can taste something like vanilla and mint, as well.”

  “I did.”

  “The ice cream is actually made of grapes and another fruit called sun nectarine. The latter will remind you of vanilla and mint. It’s also the reason why the ice cream is watery yet cold. It can remain cold for months on end without being placed inside the fridge at all.”

  “I love it. It’s refreshing.”

  Jefferson beamed. “It’s one of the most popular flavors among my people.”

  The two of them continued to chat for another hour or so before deciding it was time to pack up. Jefferson put everything into the picnic basket and left it on the ground. Baltic glanced at him in surprise.

  “Don’t we have to return it to your friends?”

  “Nope. They will stop by soon to pick it up.”

  “Your friends sound awesome. Please thank them on my behalf, as well.”

  Jefferson nodded. “Sure. They would also love to meet you someday.”

  Baltic grinned. “Absolutely.”

  “Great.”

  Then, the two of them began to walk hand in hand toward nowhere in particular.

  “Where are we going next, Jeff?”

  “We can go to my cottage nearby.”

  Baltic was taken aback upon hearing that. “Your cottage?”

  Jefferson chuckled. “Yeah. It’s about a fifteen-minute walk away from here. I haven’t been back for a while, nearly six hundred years now, but my friends have been taking care of it for me. Elves are similar to merpeople in the sense that we’re a community. We watch out for one another.”

  “Okay.”

  “We can climb up to the second floor to get a better look at the stars that way. The roof is made of glasses. It’s shaped like a dome.”

  “Sounds perfect. Let’s do that.”

  Neither of them exchanged another word after that. Instead, they simply held on tighter to each other and trod on in companionable silence. Baltic hadn’t been out on a date in a really long time. He had been too terrified to put himself out there again. Jefferson made him feel safe and loved, and this was an excellent date. He appreciated how thoughtful Jefferson was, introducing him to fresh and exciting things. When he pined after Jefferson after just one brief meeting outside the public library, he thought he had lost his sanity and rationality for good, but his instinct about the elf seemed on point. Jefferson was considerate and kind toward him. He had no more doubt that Jefferson was the one he had been searching for all this while, and he had no misgiving left in taking the next step with the elf. He was ready.

  Chapter 9

  Jefferson did his best not to squirm as he tried to adjust the erection inside his pants as discreetly as he could. He wanted Baltic really badly. He had been fantasizing about the merman for a while now. He had been imagining what it would feel like to bury his dick deep inside Baltic’s sexy ass. It had been torturous for him to be unable to do that for real, but it was nothing compared to how he felt at the moment. He was lying on his bed inside his cottage in the land of the elves, staring up at the beautiful night sky through the dome-shaped glass roof with Baltic half lying on top of him. He ran his fingers through Baltic’s hair and sighed in contentment. The moment felt so right and incredible.

  He inhaled deeply the salty seawater scent of the gorgeous merman as he shifted his body a little to get into a more comfortable position. Baltic whined softly against his chest before glancing toward him with a brilliant smile. He grinned in return. He was glad Baltic seemed to enjoy the quiet moment as much as he did. He certainly didn’t expect Baltic to reach down and gr
ab his hard, throbbing cock. That was when he noticed the fear and hesitancy in Baltic’s eyes, along with the merman’s trembling hand stroking his hard cock through his pants. He wrapped his hand around Baltic’s wrist to stop the merman from continuing.

  “Sweetheart, we really don’t have to do anything.”

  Baltic bit his lower lip while appearing rather uncertain. “I…I’m sorry. I’ve never touched any…anyone else sexually other than myself. Is it that bad? You can teach me, right? I’ll do better. I promise.”

  He tightened his other arm around Baltic and shook his head before reassuring the merman with his surprisingly raspy voice. “My dick is so fucking hard right now that it really hurts. Trust me when I tell you that you’re doing an excellent job at playing with it, but you’re terrified. Look at the tremor in your hand, sweetheart. You’re not ready for sex with me. I don’t mind. I can wait.”

  “No!” Baltic exclaimed in a hurry, visibly getting rather agitated now. “I am. I want to do this with you.”

  Jefferson stared into Baltic’s eyes. “Are you sure? I promise I’ll be okay if you want to mate some other time.”

  Baltic didn’t utter a single word for a moment before finally speaking up. “I…I really like you, Jeff.”

  Jeff chuckled a little. “I more than like you, Balt. I’m crazy about you.”

  Baltic let out a soft laugh while nodding at the same time. “Me…me, too. I can’t stop thinking about you. I’ve never believed in love at first sight until you.”

  “Same for me. So, where do we go from here?”

  Baltic didn’t answer verbally. Jefferson observed in anticipation as the merman rose up and straddled his waist before beaming down at him. He never thought he would have any undiscovered kink after thousands of years of experimenting and exploring his options with multiple partners throughout his existence, but the disparity between his and Baltic’s size was turning him on big time. He was almost one foot taller and certainly much bulkier compared to Baltic. He groaned when he felt his dick straining even more and growing impossibly harder inside his pants. A tiny part of his upper brain wondered if his dick might end up exploding from the overflowing amount of blood rushing into it.

  His cock pulsed when Baltic proceeded to take his shirt off, one button at a time. He watched with unrestrained eagerness as inch after inch of smooth, milky skin was exposed for his viewing pleasure. He had been sure Baltic couldn’t get any prettier than before, but he was delighted to be proven wrong. Baltic looked so much more delectable when his shirt was finally discarded onto the floor somewhere next to the bed. Jefferson gulped in excitement when Baltic got up on his feet and slowly stripped his pants off. Then, he whimpered when he realized Baltic wasn’t wearing anything under his pants. If he had any blood left anywhere else in his body aside from his throbbing dick, it would definitely dash toward his cock right at that very moment. Life was so fucking unfair. Even Baltic’s dick was beautiful. Jefferson salivated like a dog in heat at the sight of the merman’s pretty cock that was leaking plenty of precum.

  “May I take your clothes off, Jeff?”

  Jefferson bobbed his head up and down with a lot of enthusiasm. Truth be told, he would agree to anything Baltic wanted from him. He couldn’t think properly, especially since he had no doubt his dick was now in total control of all his senses. He moaned when Baltic succeeded in taking his shirt off for him. He could feel the wetness and stickiness of Baltic’s precum on his stomach. He clenched his abdominal muscles in a vain effort to impress the merman. He was proud of his muscular body. He hoped Baltic would like it just as much. He was startled when Baltic snickered at him. He gazed at the merman in confusion.

  “What’s so funny, sweetheart?”

  “You don’t have to show off your muscles for me. I like you already. I’m a sure bet. When this night is over, we’re going to be mated to each other for eternity.”

  Jefferson groaned under his breath before nodding. The image inside his mind of claiming and marking Baltic as his mate caused his balls to tighten up a little. He hoped Baltic would move much faster. He hadn’t even buried his dick inside the merman, but he was more than ready to climax any second now.

  “Stop teasing me and take my pants off.”

  Baltic smirked before obliging to his demand. He could tell Baltic was still frightened about their upcoming coupling, but the merman was doing a wonderful job of hiding his anxiety. He heaved out a huge sigh of relief when he was finally lying naked on the bed. That was when he realized Baltic was gaping at his dick. It made him nervous. He was aware of the size of his cock. Even the most experienced men and women were horrified at the thought of being fucked by him. He could only guess at the fear inside Baltic at the moment. He stretched his arms out and pulled Baltic to lie on top of him before pressing their lips together. He let Baltic set the pace, hoping to ease the merman’s apprehension of being skewered by his dick. Baltic stopped kissing him a few moments later and trembled on top of him.

  “I…I’m scared.” Baltic whispered his confession, refusing to look into Jefferson’s eyes. “Your dick is…is enormous. Will it fit inside me?”

  Jefferson rubbed both hands down Baltic’s back before cupping his lover’s butt cheeks. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it, sweetheart. It will hurt. I’ll do my best to loosen you up, but you’ve never been penetrated before. It will take you a while to get used to it inside your ass. We can spend as much time as we need to get my cock inside you, so you don’t have to take it all at once. Why don’t we start with a sixty-nine position?”

  The confused expression on Baltic’s face almost drove Jefferson to an explosive orgasm. He couldn’t believe his amazing fortune. He would be the first and only sexual partner in Baltic’s life. The primitive part of him was smug as hell at that particular thought. No one else would get to touch Baltic in that way ever again. He directed Baltic to sit on top of his face. Baltic balked and shook his head, but Jefferson assured him that it would be fine. After a few seconds, Baltic agreed, but Jefferson could sense his lover’s reluctance. He grinned triumphantly when Baltic relaxed and whimpered out loud once he stuck his tongue out and began to lick and taste the merman’s delicious ass. He was ecstatic when Baltic turned into an eager lover, pushing that incredible ass back against his face. He used one hand to hold Baltic’s ass on top of him while gripping tightly onto his dick with the other one.

  Moments later, he moaned and doubled his effort in eating Baltic’s ass out when the merman gave his cock a tentative lick before sucking on the cockhead with unrestrained enthusiasm. He could hear the slurping sound of Baltic’s mouth around his cock. Baltic’s skill was almost nonexistent. There was too much saliva dripping down the generous length of his dick all the way to his balls, but he couldn’t care less. He honestly thought Baltic was the best cocksucker he ever had. He even loved it when Baltic choked multiple times as the merman attempted to swallow more of his throbbing cock. His senses were overloaded. He didn’t know what felt better to him. While he had no doubt that Baltic’s ass was delicious, he also loved the wet and warm sensation of the merman’s mouth around his dick.

  Then, he licked all around Baltic’s hole while using one finger to probe into Baltic’s ass. He gritted his teeth as he did his best to regain control. Baltic’s hole was so tight it was practically gripping onto his finger. It felt as if Baltic’s hole was trying to break his finger and crack the bone within. He continued to circle his finger inside Baltic’s hole before adding a second finger. Again, it squeezed his fingers until they hurt, but he refused to be deterred. He was determined to fuck Baltic and claimed the merman as his mate. He expelled his breath and forced a third finger into Baltic’s ass. There was even more resistance this time around, but he had to speed up. Baltic’s mouth around his cock was too amazing. He was getting too close to an orgasm. He pushed in a fourth finger along with the other three.

  Baltic yelped at the intrusion of four fingers inside his hole, but the sound was muffled because
the merman was still sucking on Jefferson’s dick. Jefferson scissored his four fingers in and out of Baltic’s ass until he deemed it to be loose enough for him to attempt penetrating the merman’s hole with his dick. He pulled Baltic’s head away from his dick and turned the merman forward to face him. He guided Baltic, who was straddling his waist, backward until he could feel his cock pressing against the merman’s hole. He could feel Baltic’s hole leaking its natural lubricant. He was aware mermen would produce their own slick when they were about to mate with other men. However, he was worried the size of his dick would be too much. Hence, he used his magic to coat his dick up with even more slick and also add more of it to the inside of Baltic’s ass, causing the merman to whine out loud in surprise.

  “Jeff—”

  “It’s easier this way, sweetheart. You’re also in the perfect position for your first time. You can control the pace and depth. Push your ass back, and take as much of my dick as you can.”

  Baltic nodded before following Jefferson’s instruction, but it was easier said than done. Jefferson noticed the look of concentration on Baltic’s face as the merman strained and pushed against his dick, becoming more frustrated and perspiring even more as the seconds ticked by. He was getting rather discouraged when Baltic was unable to take even his cockhead into the merman’s tight hole, but he had promised to be patient. Thus, he remained motionless on the bed and allowed Baltic to keep on trying. After what felt like an eternity, he was taken aback when Baltic screamed out loud in pain. At the same time, he could feel his cockhead punching through Baltic’s hole. It was so warm and tight. He ran his fingers down Baltic’s sweaty back, ignoring the incessant drops of perspiration from the merman’s face and upper body dripping down onto him.

  “It…it fucking hurts.”

  “I’m sorry, sweetheart. Just rest and relax for a little longer on top of me.”

  “O…okay.”

  Jefferson could hear Baltic panting on top of him. He didn’t focus on the amazing sensation of having his cockhead inside Baltic’s ass because he would be tempted to force the remainder of his dick into the merman’s tight warmth. The two of them stayed like that for a while. He kept caressing Baltic’s body, doing his best to soothe his lover. Meanwhile, Baltic was tracing the tattoo on his chest right above his heart, which was shining brilliantly at the moment. It was a seven-pointed star with two wings spread wide open. His dick would pulse once or twice, but he didn’t linger on the feeling. He almost wept in relief when Baltic started pushing down again, allowing more of his cock to penetrate the merman’s ass. He groaned when nearly half of his dick was enveloped by Baltic’s ass.
