The Merman Boxset: Gay Merman Romance

by Aratare, X.

  And then the Mer was cumming. His cock jerked inside Gabriel’s mouth before semen poured down his relaxed throat. It was sizzling as it gushed into his belly. A feeling of incredible warmth and fullness filled him. Gabriel let the softening cock sit on top of his tongue. His eyes were still closed. He relished the feeling of being connected. Only when he felt the muscles in the Mer’s legs begin to give out over their bond did his eyelids flutter open and did he release Casillus’ cock. He helped the Mer to the bed. Casillus sank down onto the mattress, face down. He laid there, mouth parted, eyes closed, body loose-limbed with his orgasm.

  Gabriel’s cock was still a hard bar in front of him, his own arousal far from quenched. He knew that Casillus needed to recover, and that was fine. He did not need the Mer to move. Casillus was in the ideal position actually, and Gabriel could adjust him as he needed.

  He straddled Casillus’ strong thighs. The Mer stirred, but Gabriel placed a comforting hand on the center of his back and rubbed it.

  Shhhh, stay still. Relax. Let me do all the work. I imagine you’re not used to so much gravity, Gabriel said with a soft smile.

  There was a soft, sleepy murmur from the Mer over their bond. Gabriel was right. All this time on land was exhausting him. Gabriel began to massage Casillus’ powerful, broad shoulders to ease some of the pressure on the Mer’s body. His fingers dug into the hard muscles. The Mer relaxed even further onto the mattress. Gabriel leaned forward to get more access to that smooth expanse of silky skin on the Mer’s back. His cock rubbed temptingly along the crack of Casillus’ ass. The Mer’s hips rose slightly as if to get more contact between them. Gabriel’s own desires were completely in line with that.

  He pressed his length tighter against the Mer’s perfect, powerful ass. He lowered one hand to part Casillus’ butt cheeks. Those muscular globes closed around Gabriel’s cock and he had to pause in his massage. The movement of his cock between those silky buttocks almost sent him over the edge. He wanted to cum in Casillus, though cumming on him would be almost as good.

  After he was sure that he had a hold of himself, Gabriel went back to the massage. His thumbs framed Casillus’ spine as he worked down it from the base of the Mer’s skull to the beginning of the swell of his ass. His fingers glided over the Mer’s sides and he thought he felt the gills trembling underneath that velvety skin. He leaned forward and kissed where he felt that trembling, letting his lips linger.

  His cock was now sandwiched between his body and the Mer’s buttocks. It jerked, and precum dripped, wetting Casillus’ luscious skin. Gabriel began to rock his hips forward even as his hands continued to trace invisible designs on the Mer’s back. Gabriel’s breathing became heavy as arousal coursed through him. He allowed his lips to part and let out a moan.

  Casillus was no longer limp beneath him. The Mer lifted up his ass and tilted his hips so that Gabriel could more easily rub against him. Gabriel’s thrusts became quicker and more desperate.

  I need to be in you. Can I? Gabriel asked.

  Yes, yes, please, Casillus said as he looked over his shoulder at Gabriel.

  The Mer’s long hair covered part of his cheek but one of his blue-green eyes was uncovered. There was so much love in that glance that even if Gabriel couldn’t feel it over their bond, he would know it from that look. He found himself leaning forward and kissing Casillus’ mouth. He then peppered kisses all along the Mer’s back before he sat up and parted the golden globes of Casillus’ ass.

  Gabriel was shocked by how much his hands were shaking. He looked back up at Casillus’ face, but the Mer’s head was now buried in the soft pillows. Casillus’ hips were lifted to give the optimal angle for Gabriel to breach him. So easy, so right, so perfect.

  Gabriel looked down at the Mer’s now-revealed anus. He let out a brief groan of pleasure mixed with surprise as he saw that Casillus’ opening glistened with the clear gel of arousal. No lubricant needed. Just like his own body had done, Casillus was ready for him without any preparation.

  Gabriel lined the head of his cock up with that gleaming pink swirl of muscle. His cock felt more than just alive in his hands, it felt wild. He knew that this joining wasn’t going to last long. Yet he had not stretched Casillus and feared he wouldn’t be able to hold back his orgasm long enough to loosen the Mer properly.

  Do not worry. Take what you need. I am ready for you, Casillus assured him.

  Gabriel could not respond, not even through his mind. He was beyond words. He took a deep breath and then he pushed inside of Casillus. The Mer’s sphincter tightened around him as if to keep him out, but it could not. He allowed his body weight to advance that thrust inside his beloved Mer prince. The gel that Casillus’ body was creating made the way slick and hot. The slickness extended all the way inside of him, making the thrusting so much easier and more fluid than with plain old lube. It was incredible and he thanked heaven for Mer physiology. Over their bond, he experienced what Casillus did at that moment, which was the pleasant pressure and burn as Gabriel’s cock plowed inside. Casillus’ own penis was already hardening again.

  Only when he was fully seated inside of Casillus, his balls pressed against the Mer’s ass, did Gabriel pause. He felt Casillus’ heartbeat through his cock. Soon it felt like their hearts were beating as one. There was a feedback loop of pleasure between them that threatened to overwhelm Gabriel and have him cumming right then and there. Casillus squeezed his ass around Gabriel’s cock and Gabriel gasped audibly. In response, he raked a hand down Casillus’ broad back. The Mer purred in appreciation.

  You must move. I need you to move, Gabriel, Casillus told him as he bore down again on Gabriel’s cock.

  Gabriel let out a strangled whine that time. If you don’t stop that I’ll cum!

  Good. I want you to. I want your arousal to crest within you and take you over, the Mer said, his mind voice husky with desire.

  Casillus’ command had Gabriel pulling his cock out only to slam back in again. He didn’t mean to be so violent, but he was on the edge. But he needn’t have worried. Casillus loved it and lifted his hips up higher to give him better access.

  Let yourself go, my love. Do not hold back, Casillus told him.

  Gabriel was so grateful for those words, because his body seemed beyond his control at that point. He thrust in and pulled out again and again, hard and fast and nearly punishing. He held onto Casillus’ compact hips, aiming his cock so that the head of it put pressure along the sides of the Mer’s inner walls. He knew the moment when he had hit Casillus’ prostate. The Mer’s head jerked up from the pillow, his long hair flying and spilling over his back. Casillus’ lips parted though he made no sound, but over their bond Gabriel felt Casillus’ pleasure. His mind translated it into moans, groans and desperate whines. Casillus’ pleasure was so pure that it was almost a religious experience With knowledge gained over their bond, Gabriel knew what was pleasing Casillus so much and he repeated it.

  He aimed for that place inside the Mer again and once more the head of his cock dragged over it. Casillus trembled like a newborn foal underneath him. Gabriel pulled out and thrust back inside of him over and over again so that his cock was touching that spot repeatedly. Casillus was wild. His hips thrust back frantically against Gabriel’s. It was becoming harder and harder to control his movements and Gabriel stopped trying. His own arousal was burning so hot inside of him that he was nearly beyond reason himself.

  Their bodies came together and jerked apart before coming right back together again. Gabriel ground his cock into Casillus’ body. The Mer whined and bore down harder on his cock. There was so much heat between them that it was hard to know where one began and the other ended. The dual sense of taking and being taken had Gabriel’s synapses firing madly. All he could do was thrust and thrust and thrust.

  Then Casillus bore down on him one last time and Gabriel couldn’t pull out. He pushed deeper forward instead. His cock jerked inside of the Mer’s body and he felt his balls draw tight before the release began
. But it wasn’t just his pleasure that he felt and it wasn’t just physical. It was a complete joining of his and Casillus’ minds and bodies. There was nothing separating them. They were one. Gabriel’s mouth opened in a silent cry of completion as his cum spurted out of him in thick, hot streams, painting Casillus’ insides.

  With the last gush Gabriel’s limbs simply gave out on him, and he collapsed over Casillus’ back. The Mer sank down onto the mattress, his own cum having streamed out onto the sheets beneath him, but Casillus did not care. It was evidence of their love. It was something he had never experienced before. In the sea, semen was always washed away. To feel the rapidly cooling wetness against his belly was new.

  Gabriel kissed the back of Casillus’ neck as his softening cock gently left the Mer’s body. Casillus laced the fingers of his right hand with the fingers of Gabriel’s left. He felt Casillus’ lips kissing their linked hands.

  Gravity, Casillus whispered.

  What about it?

  I believe I understand why you will miss it, Casillus said with a smile in his voice. We will be doing this again, Gabriel. I will insist upon it.

  Instead of feeling sadness about the fact that such lovemaking on land might not happen again for years, Gabriel held the Mer’s promise close as he and Casillus sank into sleep.

  BEST LAID PLANS

  I want to go with you to the cave, Gabriel said as he rested his hands on Casillus’ compact hips.

  They were back out on the porch. The sun was just a sliver above the horizon now. The sky was a brilliant mixture of purples, reds and gold with streaks of luminous clouds. It was so beautiful. Gabriel felt that selfish urge to keep Casillus with him, but duty and Corey had called. His best friend had literally phoned the cottage’s land line to say that Greta and Roger were driving him to the cave.

  “I’m sorry to take Casillus from you,” his best friend had said.

  “So long as you bring him back to me I’m all good,” Gabriel had replied and willed himself to be okay with it.

  But now that it was time for Casillus to go, Gabriel didn’t want him to leave or, at least, he wanted to extend their time together by accompanying the Mer prince to the cave. Casillus rested his forehead against Gabriel’s. His blue-green gaze was gentle as were his hands running up and down Gabriel’s bare back.

  I would rather be with you than with anyone else, Casillus assured him. But I do not think you should accompany me to the cave.

  What? Why?

  Casillus’ hands slid down his back a final time and lingered on his waist. It would not be wise. The cave is very close to the settlement and the farther you are from the temple and the statue the better.

  Gabriel wanted to object, but he knew Casillus was right. Cthulhu was eager to make landfall. The monstrous being would use any excuse to come ashore, even Gabriel’s near proximity to the temple.

  You’ll come right back here after you hide the statue, won’t you? Gabriel asked finally. His grip tightened on the Mer’s hips.

  Casillus nodded. As soon as I take the statue into deep water.

  At that moment, Gabriel sensed something else that the Mer thought they should do. His head jerked back and his nostrils flared. You -- you want us to close down the bond when you’re at the settlement!

  The Mer rubbed Gabriel’s back. I fear if we are connected when I touch the statue then your power might pass through me and summon Cthulhu.

  Panic trilled through Gabriel at the twin thoughts of narrowing their bond or risking Casillus calling Cthulhu. Both were equally bad. He couldn’t believe how easily he had cut off Casillus altogether while talking to Johnson just that morning. Now the Mer wanted to merely narrow their bond for a short while and Gabriel was nearly hyperventilating. He had been counting on having the bond open as wide as possible while Casillus and the others stole the statue. It would let him keep tabs on them and make sure that everything was going okay. But now that little bit of comfort and security was going to be taken away from him.

  But I won’t know what’s going on with you if you shut down the bond! Gabriel cried. Something could happen! You could need help!

  If we do … Casillus broke off. You coming to our aid would only make things far worse.

  Gabriel jerked away at that. He looked at Casillus with betrayal. You can’t believe that!

  Casillus reached for him and firmly pulled Gabriel against him. Cthulhu is a greater danger than anything or anyone else, Gabriel. If it makes landfall … Again Casillus broke off. He didn’t have to say anything else. Gabriel already knew what he was saying was true. You cannot come to the temple. You must stay away no matter what happens.

  I don’t know if I can do that, Gabriel admitted. I don’t know if I can let you go and -- and sit here waiting to hear if everything’s okay.

  Casillus kissed him. The kiss was tender and loving. I know this is hard, Gabriel. I would feel the same if our situations were reversed. But it must be this way.

  Gabriel squeezed his eyes shut. He took in a shuddering breath. It had to be this way. He was just making this harder on the Mer. He had to get it together. He opened his eyes and met Casillus’ gaze. He could do this. He forced the words to come and sent them over the bond, As soon as you’re away from the statue you’ll restore our bond fully right?

  I will. I promise. I am no more eager to do this than you are. Casillus held him close.

  Gabriel rested his head on Casillus’ broad shoulder. Please be careful. Take care of yourself and the others.

  We are doing the right thing, Gabriel, Casillus assured him. He kissed the side of Gabriel’s head. You made the correct choice for us to remove the statue and protect humanity.

  Gabriel winced a bit. He had been the one to demand that something be done about the statue. Now he was getting his wish, but it was putting in danger the people who meant the most to him.

  Yeah, I know, Gabriel agreed.

  Finally, they released one another. It was time for Casillus to go. The Mer walked down the stairs and onto the sand. He was going to swim to the caves. It was faster that way. Gabriel could feel that Corey was only a few minutes away from the caves himself. Gabriel took in a deep breath. It was getting difficult to breathe again. He needed to get in the water himself, but he couldn’t imagine being in the ocean at night, at least not alone. He would take a shower instead.

  I will not close down the bond until I get to the cave, Casillus promised.

  It’s all right. It’ll be all right. Gabriel wasn’t sure which one of them he was assuring more.

  Yes, it will be.

  They stared at each other for several long moments, then Casillus turned on his heel and sprinted into the water. Gabriel watched as the Mer smoothly dove into the waves. Casillus broke through the water’s surface to look back at him one last time before he again disappeared beneath the waves. Gabriel, though, wasn’t quite ready to let him go. He closed his eyelids and saw through Casillus’ eyes.

  The water at night was different than during the day. It was more mysterious. The neon blue had turned to silver gray. It was not fully dark yet. Moonlight was not yet streaming through the surface, so everything was indistinct and shadowy. But to Casillus the water at twilight was as familiar as it was at full noon. He swam with assurance and with no fear.

  Gabriel tried to imagine the two of them swimming together in that silvery water. He envisioned them out in the deep with no land in sight. He was surprised and pleased that he was actually excited by the thought. Only the faintest trace of fear ran through him as he imagined it, but that just added an edge to the excitement.

  Soon, Gabriel, Casillus promised, reading his desires.

  Soon. That word held so much emotion for Gabriel. It meant both excitement to start his new life and grief for what he was losing. He knew that the Mer felt his dueling emotions and he didn’t want Casillus to grieve or feel like he was taking something away from Gabriel personally. To remove any of the sting from his feelings, he assure
d the Mer, I love you, Casillus.

  I love you, too, Gabriel, the Mer responded.

  All too soon Casillus was at the cave. It was not the cave that Gabriel had nearly drowned in. This one was slightly farther up the beach. It was also farther from the waterline, so it did not get flooded at high tide.

  Casillus walked out of the water. Gabriel could feel the sifting of sand under his feet. Corey was standing by the cave’s mouth. In the strange half-light of dusk his best friend was almost invisible in the tight black sweat suit, though his bright red head was like a flame on a match. Corey hustled towards the Mer, stopping only a few feet away.

  “Everything okay, Casillus?” Corey asked. He was bouncing up and down on his feet with excitement. Corey saw this as a wonderful adventure. Gabriel wished he could feel that way about it.

  The Mer nodded.

  “Greta and Roger just texted me.” Corey held up his smart phone to show Casillus. The Mer looked at it and nodded again. He knew what it was because Gabriel did. Corey continued, “They are at the settlement. So far so good! Shall we go into the cave?”

  Casillus held up one finger to indicate that he needed a moment. Gabriel, it is time to close down the bond.

  R—right, yeah, Gabriel stuttered. His chest seized. They had to do this. It was the safest way. How ironic that staying behind was harder than rushing into danger!

  I will be back with you soon, and then I will never leave you again. The Mer embraced him over the bond. His love and certainty flowed through to Gabriel as well.

  Be safe, Gabriel whispered.

  When Casillus shut the bond down to nothing more than the slenderest of threads it felt as if someone had turned off the lights in what had been a brilliantly lit room. Gabriel’s mind seemed a dark and empty place without Casillus in it anymore. He opened his own eyes as he could no longer see through Casillus’ eyes or hear his voice any longer. He let out a long, shuddering breath.
