FOURTEEN

Addian growled, surprising himself as much as her, not quite willing to admit he did not want Omen near her, “No, we are better off separate until this is resolved,” he hedged.

“Does he have somewhere to go?”

“Yes. But I should not drag you into this. Let me think for a bit about options,” he muttered as they made their way to the car.

She leaned forward to see his face across the passenger seat. “I think I’m already in this. As the person who saved you, if that counts.”

“It counts. Believe me, it counts. I’m more concerned if for some reason they would come around and I’m not up to handling it, that there could be consequences to you.”

“Pffft. Hello? Did you catch anything that I said about mermaids? Anything at all?” she countered just short of shrieking.

“Is this a test?” he teased. “Out of the water, you are not a mermaid. And, even in the water, I think there are circumstances in which you may not win. Actually, I’m thinking, I know you won’t win,” he said, sounding authoritative.

“Which shows what you know or understand about mermaids,” she hissed between clenched teeth allowing her fangs to run out for effect. “Look, I may only be half, but I can call it out when I need to. If I were full, you probably would not even be here. Even though we know each other, and have a relationship of sorts.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means… Everybody thinks mermaids are these fluffy, half women, half fish, and sweet little sea creatures… Which we are, but we are so much more than that. At our base nature, we are not fluffy, not sweet, and not to be trifled with,” she glared.

“Why don’t you educate me? While you drive,” he pointed to the key. “Regardless of where we’re going, we need to get moving.”

“Okay. Mermaids really only do two things, three if you count seduction.”

“Seduction?” he interjected curiously, his hand on hers over the key poised in the ignition, “Nobody said anything about seduction.”

“Yeah, well… That’s like the third thing. And don’t cut me off,” she replied, shaking off his hand to start the car. “The first thing mermaids do, is we lure men to a watery grave. You are safe from me, but that won’t hold true for all Mers.

"The second thing that mermaids do, is… Well, to put it nicely, is… You would be dinner,” as I already shared.

He held up his hand to get her to pause. “You know, somehow you saying that to me has a completely different connotation than if I said that to you. Not that I’m saying that to you, because that would be wildly inappropriate, at least in this moment, but I’m just saying… You commenting that to me, doesn’t have the same vibe to it.”

She laughed and rolled her eyes. “As I said before, I mean literal dinner. Not, ‘I’m going to eat you,’ sexual dinner. This is, to the letter of the definition, you would be dinner.
