Chapter 7

Jefferson pulled out the chair and slid the chair forward gently to make sure Baltic was seated as comfortably as possible. He noticed the slight blush on Baltic’s cheeks, but he didn’t bring any attention to it.

“Thank you, Jeff.”

“You’re welcome,” Jefferson replied with before sitting on the chair across the table from Baltic. “So, how are you feeling now?”

He noted the hesitation on Baltic’s end. Instead of allowing the awkwardness to stretch on, he picked up the bottle of red wine and poured some into Baltic’s wine glass before doing the same for his own. He lifted his glass at Baltic for a toast and waited for the merman to do the same before sipping on the liquid. His eyes never looked away from Baltic, though. Truth be told, he was nervous at the moment. He was finally going to have a nice dinner with Baltic, the merman he had been pining for all this while. He didn’t want to mess up this first opportunity, which he considered as their first official date. Well, at least he thought so on his part. If he could act all suave and elegant, he was hoping it would impress Baltic enough to give him a second date.

After what felt like hours, Baltic gazed up at him before responding. “It’s a little strange for me.”

Jefferson gulped down a mouthful of wine and forced a smile. “Why is that?”

Baltic shrugged. “I haven’t been able to feel my merman magic after the sun sets for a hundred years now. You must have used plenty of powerful magic in creating your ward to be able to repel the siren magic within me and cause it to recoil much deeper into me. The little bit of blood I consume every night either from Cas or Dray is helpful, but it’s inadequate to suppress the siren magic from overtaking my senses. Not that I become psychotic or anything like that.”

Jefferson could tell Baltic was both embarrassed and anxious about the topic, so he decided to switch the conversation to something else. “How do you like my garden?”

“It’s beautiful. You must have millions of varieties in your backyard alone. Cas will be green with envy. The house we’re sharing isn’t large enough, and neither is the backyard.”

“Your brother sells plants and herbs, right?”

Baltic nodded. “Some types are ordinary and “normal.” The magical ones have to be hidden by magic because Dray and I have plenty of paying customers who are unaware about the supernatural world. We can’t risk them entering the backyard and catching sight of the magical plants and herbs.”

Jefferson found all three brothers interesting in their choices of occupation as they tried to assimilate themselves into the common mortal society, but he was more curious about Baltic. After all, he was attracted to Baltic. He yearned to learn more about Baltic instead of the other two mermen.

“What makes you decide to teach yoga?”

“Hmm,” Baltic muttered noncommittally while drinking a little bit of wine. “I guess it’s a combination of factors.
