"Why didn't you go with them?" asks Jesse, suddenly feeling guilty for keeping Riley at home.
"It'd be rude of me to just leave you here."
"So we're alone for the night?" adds Jesse, desperately trying to hide any elation in her voice and face.
"It appears so." muses Riley. "C'mon. It's late. Let's get to sleep now."
Jesse eagerly follows Riley into the bedroom. She sees the three hammocks that are set up. Riley shows her to his hammock and she obligingly gets in. The moment she does get in, the hammock closes quite a bit over her, leaving a long thin slit of an opening. From what she can imagine, the closed hammock looks like a peapod from the outside. Riley sticks his hand into the hammock's opening and slightly pulls it open.
"Are you fine by yourself in there or would you like me to join you?" he asks.
"I really would like you to join me in here." says Jesse coyly.
"No problem. Let me just make sure this hammock can hold the both of us."
Jesse lies alone in the hammock, waiting for Riley to finish whatever he's doing. Knowing that whatever he's doing shouldn't take more than a minute, the seconds seem to pass like hours. Just as she is about to peek her head to check what Riley is doing, the merman's head pops out at her and the two of them collide at the forehead.
"Ow!" exclaim the two simultaneously.
Jesse looks up to see Riley gently rubbing a reddish bump on his forehead. She luckily got away with minor pain and no visible bruises.
"Sorry about that, Jesse. I didn't expect your head to be coming out of the opening." says Riley.
"No, no. It's nothing. Anyway, you are the one with a bump, not me. Are you all right?" she asks.
"Yeah, I think so." says Riley. "Let's get some sleep though. It'll help with the stinging feeling."
Jesse almost hesitates to move when Riley enters the hammock. She slides to the side as the merman she desires the most lies down right next to her. Right now, all she can see is the smile on his face, which is something she has started to be thankful for. Riley casually puts an arm around her before closing his eyes to sleep. Jesse continues to look up at his face. It is just as serene and beautiful as when she gazed upon his unconscious form on the beach a couple days ago. The arm that he has wrapped around her has its hand strongly and warmly holding her shoulder. Finding herself in a somewhat uncomfortable position, Jesse slowly shifts her position. She moves her body against his and ends up brushing a breast against his bare side. The feeling and exhilaration of the entire movement leaves her flesh with an enjoyably tingling sensation. Jesse sighs as this is more comfortable than before, with Riley's side gently nestled in the valley of her bosom.
Mere seconds after falling asleep, Jesse drifts off into a miniature world inside her own head. She is alone on a beach. For the first time ever, this dream stars her in her mermaid form. Just as the illusion starts, Jesse feels a shiver down her spine and decides to get into the water. Safely submerged, she is shocked to find that the source of the danger is none other than herself, her human self. The mermaid Jesse finds a conveniently large rock to hide behind as the human version of Jesse casually walks onto the beach. As this all unfolds, the Jesse hiding in the water wonders what the point of this dream is. A large wave crashes against her back and almost smashes her against the rock. She makes a loud yell, but the sound is hidden by the loud roar of the wave. The mermaid Jesse looks up again and sees herself holding and checking her purse. The Jesse standing on the beach suddenly looks out over the sea, in the general direction of her other self. The mermaid quickly pulls back so the no part of her will be seen. She turns around and rests her back against the rock that is her hiding place. She makes a soft gasp to see Riley's unconscious form floating towards the shore.
This dream is remarkably similar to what happened on that Greek island beach a couple days ago, except of course that there was only one Jesse the first time this happened. It looks like it could be just a perfect re-enactment of past events, but something seems amiss to the Jesse in the water. The mermaid counts several seconds before peeking around the rock again. If this was proceeding just like the first time, then her human self would be delicately inspecting Riley's succulent form, paying little attention to anything else. When she does peek, her human counterpart is currently moving her hand up and down the smooth torso of Riley. Even though the woman on the beach is herself, Jesse the mermaid can't help suppress the feeling of jealousy. Watching those gentle hands glide along the contours of the merman's body, Jesse floats closer to the odd couple on the beach. The dream is accurate and precise with every moment, but the mermaid in the water still feels distressed, as if something is about to go awry. And it does, Riley awakens.
Both Jesse's gasp at the same time, but it is the one in the water that freezes. The Jesse on land stares into Riley's open eyes. Riley just lies there motionless, pretty much like the Jesse in the water. The mermaid gasps again as her human self strips off the very same clothes she had been wearing days ago. The Jesse on land slowly lies down, completely naked, next to Riley. A tingling throughout her entire body tells the mermaid Jesse that this whole dream scene is turning her on.
The human Jesse has Riley speechless though in a fearful sort of way, as though he is at a loss at how to escape. Soon enough, however, the Jesse on land has the merman quite literally in her grip. The mermaid lets out a soft moan as the gentle hand of her other self glides down Riley's chest and stomach before enclosing his manhood in her fist. Before anything more happens, the scene before her disappears and Riley's curious face suddenly comes into view. Jesse gives a quick and audible gasp before looking left, right, up, and down. With a sigh, she realizes the dream is over and she is back in the hammock.
"What's wrong, Jesse?" asks Riley.
"Nothing." replies Jesse. "I just had an interesting dream. That's all."
"Heh. I'm glad that's all it was. Better than a nightmare."
"Was I moving around much?"
"Not too much. Your hand moved up and down a bit, but you woke me up when your tail started twitching."
"Oh sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, let's get back to sleep. I'm still tired."
As soon as Jesse opens her mouth to respond, Riley's eyes close once again as he drifts off to sleep. The mermaid sighs in relief that Riley did not question her more on what actually happened in her dream. Jesse slowly and carefully moves her right arm, the one resting across the merman's chest. She then moves her hand in the same way as her arm. Her pinky finger playfully flicks a nipple before resting on his chest. She then looks down at the limp flesh shaft, which in her dreams, was taken into the much envied hand of her human self. The mermaid knows she can't do that now, in real-life. Still she can't help but nudge his hips with her waist and smiles at what happens: his flesh moves back and forth before pointing at the place where she'd love to have it most. With a happy thought, she, too, falls asleep.
Meanwhile at the surface, Brynn and the others are lying on the beach with their backs to the sand. Every single pair of eyes is focused on the stars in the enchantingly clear sky above them. Brynn is lying down next to Miek; both of them with an arm around one another. Lily has a brown-haired, green-eyed merman holding her tightly. His dark green tail is securely wrapped around like her own in the same way a snake grips a tree it climbs. Earlier in the night, the merman's stealthy arm reached around the mermaid's back and curled around her body to grasp a breast. Lily hadn't objected; from the start, she had known that this was what they had both wanted. Even now, the tightening and releasing of his hand's grip excites her. She tries to keep the sounds she makes only audible to herself and the merman. Not too far away are Shane with his girlfriend as well as three more couples, each sharing loving embraces.
As the night becomes early morning, most of them had already fallen asleep. The only ones who remain awake are Lily and the merman who still holds her in his arms, Varon. Thanks to the lengthy foreplay while stargazing, the two of them are incredibly restless. In his eagerness, Varon releases Lily from his hold only to roll up on top of her. She can feel his burning hot manhood pressed snugly against her belly. Varon looks into her eyes lustfully. He then lifts himself up and slowly slides his length deep into her. Lily looks left and right to see his hands planted into the sand on both sides of her with his heavy tail pinning her tail down. As he explores deeper and deeper into her, Lily lets out a soft groan. Varon easily slips in and out rhythmically even without the help of water to keep them wet and slippery. The two of them smile at each other as the pleasure rises. The merman energetically gives her his all, which is exactly what she had been craving for the past few hours. Something inside Varon builds up quickly up the point where he can barely contain it. He lowers his body down onto hers. Lily can tell it's coming soon from the tell-tale surge in heat emanating from her lover. Varon digs his arms into the sand under Lily and holds her body tightly to his own. In his hold, Lily feels her soft bosom squeezed against his firm chest. Varon then drives himself deeper into her body as the climactic moment arrives.
Both Lily and Varon clutch each other tightly as the merman explodes within the mermaid. Lily gyrates and grinds on and around Varon, eager to take in every drop of his essence. The pleasure of having him pour into her like the wildest currents of the sea is almost indescribable. The intense warmth of his body overwhelms her body. Each burst and twitch from Varon's body as well as each move and grind from Lily, bring the couple to the brink of almost moaning out loud. Counting the initial climax, Lily endures four more bursts from the merman. Right after the fourth, Varon collapses on top of her, his chest heaving. Lily, too, is out of breath; she can barely lift a finger, though it is fair to mention that she is feeling the entire weight of the merman on top of her.
