I side-eyed Humberto as the idiotic dolphin I rode skidded happily through the waves, cresting annoyingly every so often so it could breathe.

Stupid sarding animal. Why couldn’t I have been assigned to ride a shark?

My ride and Humberto’s prodding questions had thoroughly ruined my morning. The cardinal fish shifter had kept poking around asking about my background.

I should have taken notes on what I’ve told everyone— though I’ve tried not to speak much—but it had been hard to shake that entitled, paunchy little hero off because he thought he was being “friendly” and I hadn’t just been able to peel the skin from his tongue to shut him up like I normally would have.

What an annoying exercise in self-restraint that had been.

I sighed.

“Don’t worry, today’s a much shorter jaunt,” Julian, my saddle mate, said from behind me.

I made a sarcastic face mocking him, but only after I ensured no one was looking.

Humberto was too busy chatting with some golden-tailed mer woman beside us.

Blech.

At least I hadn’t been forced to ride with him but all this play-acting was getting tiring. I wished this stupid farce of a tournament was over already so that I could unleash my wrath and reveal myself to the pathetic Avia right before I obliterated her. I imagined her face covered in tear tracks and smiled at the thought.

She would actually be lucky. Her death was only a means to an end, so it would be relatively quick. It was a way to take control of Okeanos and lure Bloss back down here for another battle. But this time, I’d be prepared for her tricks. This time, I’d defeat that upstart bitch.

I inhaled, the scent of impending victory invigorating me.

And maybe it was the thought of progress, or perhaps the sunshine itself, but as we crested the next wave, I felt happier. Giddy and excited even. It had been a long time since I’d faced an opponent like Bloss, one who’d managed to surprise me. I smiled as our mount jumped through several waves, not even upset when the motion pushed Julian closer to me.

In fact, the press of his cock against my ass stirred something in me. A flash of attraction blinded me for a moment and as the dolphin dove back under the waves, I found myself getting turned on.

Of course, my thoughts immediately went to Bloss’s stupid curse, but this attraction was just a low simmer, not a kettle boiling over. It wasn’t the mindlessness of those orgasms she’d forced on me.

Was I really getting hard over the press of another man’s thighs against my hips? The way his cock nestled in the crack of my ass?

I felt the urge to reach down and stroke myself, though I resisted, fascinated by the feelings swirling through my chest.

Even when I’d taken men occasionally over the centuries, I’d always been a top, not a bottom. But there was an undeniable stirring in my loins.

I cleared my throat, wondering if it was possible.

It faded a bit when
