Chapter  65  rMlpfO

The rain got even more heavier, and the narrow alleyway became more intricate as the mist filled in, causing me to feel like I was in a maze. Even though my swimming speed far surpassed ordinary people, I still almost lost sight of the boat after travelling a few meters in the water. Seeing the figure, whom I had suspected to be Agares, drifting further and further from the corner of my eye, my heart burned anxiously as I desperately shouted, “Agares, Agares, I know it’s you. Stop!”

I shouted until my voice turned hoarse, but the shadow in the distance didn’t slow down one bit, vanishing into the mist. Relying on my visual memory, I chased after the vanishing figure; only to stop in front of a dimly lit underground waterway entrance. I merely saw an empty ‘Gondola’ floating on the water, still swaying from side to side from the physics of the water with no sign of that figure. It was like a ghost, going and leaving without a trace. 

Incidentally, what obstructed my route, preventing me from going further in, was a metal sluice gate. The inside was dark and secluded. Though there was a left turn deep within, I didn’t know where it led to. Not only that, one could easily see glimpses of relief structures outlining the tunnel’s dry walls. This was probably a former tourist site that was abandoned but had been sealed up for some reason. Then I noticed that the gaps between the iron bars were very narrow. I approached closer and tried to fit my body inside by turning to my side, but I soon realised that it was impossible.  rYSoKB

My body type was a medium, lean build which didn’t have much muscle mass. It would’ve been even more impossible for Agares with his robust body to get in, let alone while dragging along that thick, long fishtail of his. Even if he had turned into a human by some unconventional means, he wouldn’t be able to force himself into this narrow entrance. 

So how did he suddenly disappear from here? Did he dive into the water? At a loss, I swam around in a circle. The water here was perfect for a human’s height, and the sewers were very narrow. So where could he hide?

Could it really just be my imagination?

I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes again. I looked at the surrounding, then back down into the abyss of the underground waterway. I turned my body over to sit on the gondola, my hands resting on the damp edge of the boat. I couldn’t stop myself from touching the coarse layer of paint that was peeling off, which felt like that rough, pliable, and strong fishtail that had slipped out of my grasp. 

Droplets of rain poured over my body and the cold nipped at my entire being. It was only then that I suddenly felt chilly—so chilly that even my heart had turned into a block of ice. I knew it was best if I were to leave this place, but there was a faint, refusing voice in my heart, No, he’s here. He’s here looking right at you!

It shouldn’t be surprising, since it was me who chose to leave him. Undoubtedly, from the bottom of my heart, I was unwilling to change into a merman and leave for another world. 

The connection between him and I should have actually been severed at that time, damn it. Then why am I chasing the existence that I originally wanted to run away from? It was like grabbing onto a mirage and never letting it go… How ridiculous you are Desharow! XqxrL1

Agares, are you here? Are you watching me right now? If so, what should I do to make you come out and meet me? Curses! 

Using my sleeve to wipe the droplets of rain from my face, I grasped my fist tightly as I hammered it into the hull. Relying on the titled stern, I slowly rested down against it, looking at the misty sky above my head as the rain cascaded down. My eyelashes also became quite heavy, sticking onto my eyelids. Just when I couldn’t open my eyes anymore, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a shadow shrouded in the mist within the rain. The boat even started rocking too. 

I sat up, swift as lightning, and jumped into the water straight away. My eyes ran across the surrounding waters, but I could only see the lights’ mottled reflection from the ripples of the tiny waves aroused by the rain. There were no traces that could’ve been left behind by moving fishtail swimming around.

An incomparable flash of dismay remained after every possibility shattered to pieces. I brandished my hand in the water, stirring it around, not caring about some passersby’s surprised expression as they watched a madman walk around and howl, “Agares, come out you damned bastard! I know you’re here. I just know! Know that you want to test how desperate I am in wanting to see you right!? You win then, you completely win! I’ve been looking for you for a whole fucking year! I’ve been wanting to fucking meet you again, wanting to the point of going crazy…”  jhtsU

I hung my head down and tightened my fist, speaking the last phrase in a low volume for only me to hear. My heart felt heavy, it was covered by a heavy emotion, like a sponge absorbing all the rain. 

Out of curiosity, an uncontrollable thought came out from the bottom of my heart. I, myself, didn’t know why I even thought of this, but I still climbed onto the gondola and rowed it closer to the sluice gate, so that I could stay hidden in the overshadowing darkness to avoid anyone that could witness my strange behaviour. It would definitely be strange, I thought. If someone saw me, they’d definitely speculate I had some kind of obscene hobby. 

Concealing myself within the darkness, I lied down on the gondola and unbuttoned the buttons of my suit one by one. 

I was slow with my movements and, within a short while, both my shirt and pants came down. I quietly laid down, revealing myself. As I waited, I used my hands to caress my chest and raised my neck like a sacrifice. My heart thudded extremely fast, and a sense of shame filled my entire body, numbing it. Only God knows if I had truly gone mad or not, but I wanted to try my luck and gambled on it, because I knew how perverted that old fiend Agares was!  kMubhY

I’ll wait here and see how long you can resist. This body hasn’t been touched for two years by you. Is it because you lost interest? 

My moist eyes were wide open, and they resembled blades as they carefully raked through every nook and corner in the darkness. However, there weren’t any signs of movement in my surroundings. There was only stillness and darkness revolving around me, like it was silently mocking my absurd behaviour. Feeling disheartened, I shut my eyes and turned my head to the side, head completely empty. I propped up my naked body and rested my head on my knees, absent-mindedly staring at my feet.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, in the wet wind carried out from the underground route, I smelled an unusual fragrance. It was a scent that I would always recognise. My head snapped upward. In that instant, I became like a drug addict smelling opiates, and my brain was buzzing. 

I saw a shadow separate itself from the metal door from a corner of the inner tunnel and rise up from the water. Just like the first time I met him in the deep-sea laboratory, he slowly exposed his head. His silver-grey hair followed the movement of his rising figure, plastering down onto his body. I3TQca

He wasn’t naked like he usually was while in the sea. Instead he was wearing a black windbreaker, which was soaking wet and wide open, exposing his rock solid chest. His pale complexion made him look like a person from a mysterious blood clan in this ancient city.

He titled his head faintly as he stared at me, the Venetian mask covering half of his face, making me unable to see his eyes. However, I could feel his burning hot gaze, full of love and yearning as he feasted upon my appearance. 

I finally managed to drag this asshole out! 

Suddenly, a variety of emotions mixed together within my heart like a stormy wave tumbling in my chest, and then they turned into explosions of heat that flooded all the way to my head. At that moment, my eyes practically almost turned red, and I wordlessly leaned back. I looked down at him with a triumph expression from head to toe. Even though I was stark naked, without so much as a strip of clothing on me.  MPFjAc

“Agares, you bastard…” 

I cursed at him in a low voice, eyes becoming wrought out. My eyes involuntarily lingered on his well-built chest, and I couldn’t help but swallow a little as my breath hitched. 

During the span of these two years, I hadn’t been troubled by estrus and my mutation had also stopped because of Agares’s disappearance. I had thought my thirst for him had also stopped, but I soon realised that I was gravely mistaken. Because countless times I was woken up after seeing Agares in my dreams, I would find there was something sticky in my trousers. I was still missing him, but also thirsting for him. Damn it! 

And him? I stared at Agares glaringly. His Adam’s apple bobbled, his breathing grew unusually heavy, and his veins stretched out energetically. However, I didn’t know why he was just staying there motionlessly. He merely stared at me but seemed to have no intention of coming over here.  JHycbi

Hateful… 

“You come over… If not, I’ll leave!” I impatiently sat up and grabbed onto the iron bars, rattling them hard a few times. My sight settled on his face and I let a big breath, “Why are you dressed like this, Agares? Why aren’t you saying anything?” 

He was as still as before, not speaking a word. A dense dark cloud of perplexity condensed in my head, and I let my grip on the iron bar loosen. I rested my head on the metal sluice gate, solemnly looking at him. After a moment, he finally moved and came closer towards me in the water. My heart started beating rapidly, resonating through my entire head. 

The moment he came closer to me, I was already stiff and unable to move. I could only see him stretching his arm out from the other side of the sluice gate, resting his webbed hand on my nape, and drawing me closer as he pressed his moist, icy lips against mine. After that, he firmly bit me.  Vu6XjA

My whole body shuddered, being caught off guard by his attack. Tears mixed with rain trailed down my face. After being kissed by him for a while, I finally reacted. My hands followed and went through the iron bars to fiercely grip his hair, flusteredly sucking the salty seawater on his lips. His teeth were grinding against my lips as his tongue rushed in. Our teeth and lips fought in a tangled mess like wild animals.

In the water, my chest stuck to his smooth skin in his windbreaker. Even the iron bars were going to be bent from the force from the both of us, like they were moulding with us. My body ached, but I didn’t care. All other emotions had disappeared during this moment and time had come to a standstill. 

Unwittingly, my mouth was filled with the taste of blood. Agares’s grip on me tightened, pulling me close. His lips pressed against my lower jaw before licking at it in an uncivilized and wanton manner before sucking at it. I shakily grabbed onto his collar, wanting to pull him even closer, to touch him even more. Yet my wrist was seized by his powerful webbed hand as he restrained it against my back, making me unable to flail about. 

The burdensome sluice gate was blocking my body, so I could only raise my neck to accept his ravaging. In the midst of the pouring rain, my head felt dizzy, making me suspect that this was actually a dream that I’ll wake up from not before long. I whispered through this confusing sweetness, “Hey, open this damned sluice gate. Let me see you…”  Z0GnC8

The grip on my waist suddenly tightened. He rubbed his head against my neck as he looked up and pressed his mask against my forehead. Then he inhaled my scent deeply, while his webbed hands came up to my head and tenderly combed my hair like he used to when I was young by softly pushing up my fringe that was covering my eyes to the back. 

“Agares…” I stared at the deep set of pupils behind the mask, unconsciously wanting to try to caress his cheek. Yet a female voice suddenly sounded not so far away from my behind, “Hey, what are you guys doing?!”

I shivered out of fright. Looking back, I found a girl sitting by the shore with the intention of washing her clothes. Apparently, she seemed shocked by the huge commotion that me and Agares had caused. I stuttered, for I didn’t know how to explain this situation. But then I heard a crash of water from the side. Before I could even react, Agares had already disappeared. 

“Hey, where are you going?!” I shouted, startled and angry as I hammered the sluice gate. However, what replied to me was the surged echoes of my own voice in the underwater tunnel.  3sJBWP
