Chapter Four

The brown eyes sparkling at him held him mesmerized, drawing him to her, not that he didn’t want to get closer, but she tugged at his soul. How he’d managed to pull away from her before, without making love to her again, could only be explained as a miracle. His body must have been created to respond to her, especially after having experienced an orgasm for the first time in his existence. Xavior wanted, no, needed more. So far, the old witch was right: Cori was his bride. His body understood what his brain still marveled at. He shifted closer to her, and she moved to meet him. When their lips touched, his eyes drifted shut and his life flashed before him in brilliant, vivid color. The tales got it wrong. You didn’t see your life flash before you as you are about to die. You see your future spread out before you when for the first time you felt truly alive and joined to another person.

A world of endless possibilities opened up, all centering around the woman wrapped in his arms. A woman he’d never be able to let go. First he had to be honest with her, to tell her the truth. He’d even pray to his father, Poseidon, if he thought it would help. But he hadn’t answered a prayer in centuries, certainly not for any of his sons or daughters.

She pulled away from him. “What’s really going on Xavior?”

She shook her head. “What world? What are you talking about?”

“Cori, my people…I…we come from a world that exists below the waves, as you come from the world that exists above it.”

“What?”

She tried to pull away from him, but he held her around the waist to keep her near him. “I’m of the sea,” he said.

She stilled and frowned. He could feel her heart rate increasing, and not from pleasure. “Like a mermaid, or, er, merman?” she asked hesitantly.

He grinned. “Something like that.”

“I see.”

But she didn’t. He’d have to show her. She tried wiggling out of his embrace again, but he held her fast. He read the doubt and fear flashing in her eyes, clouding her mind. He had to get her to believe. “I can prove it to you.”

“Ah right. Sure. So you’re gonna grow fins? Well, let me get out of your way.” This time she pushed against his chest.

He laughed and caught her hands, holding them together. “Please. Don’t be afraid of me. And sorry, no fins. That’s a human invention. We can simply exist under the water. Our lungs and a few other organs are designed differently, allowing us to dwell at great depths.”

She nodded. “Whatever you say. But…you were also on the boat. Aren’t you supposed to
