Hunter
I pinned her with an incredulous stare. Blue did not just ask me to marry her!
I cupped her face in both of my hands, "Do you realize what you're asking me?"
She nodded earnestly, "Yes. I would love to marry you if you wish to marry me, that is."
I chuckled, "If you're making this decision just because you think my life is in danger, then please don't. I'm not sure if I'm even marriage material. I would hate to disappoint you."
"You wouldn't be disappointing me." She said. "Please understand that it's the only way that my family cannot force me to go back to my world. If I take you as my husband, it would be a sin, I can't deny it. Humans and mer
HunterFred and Hannah helped me choose a wedding ring for Blue. It was a round solitaire diamond stud in a platinum ring, a little out of my budget but looked really beautiful. My bank account was almost empty, but it was worth it. Blue deserved this and so much more. I kind of wished I had enough money to move into a bigger house where there was a lawn, a fence, a room for when Blue and I decided to have kids.I dreamed of it, about having my own little family.I'd never thought this was possible in my wildest dreams, that I'd find a woman who'd love me enough to want to marry me.The phone in my pocket began buzzing. It was from an unknown number. I pressed to answer.
Hunter The wedding was being held at my family residence garden. The altar was decorated with flowers and looked so beautiful that I started to wonder if I'd teleported into heaven all of a sudden. The trees posed as a good shelter from the beaming sunlight, lamps suspended from the branches.The weather seemed perfect and gave the place a romantic vibe.Elaine had gone out of her way to give it a chic and an elegant look. She loved Pinterest and I had no doubt she'd copied some ideas from it.People had already taken their seats, we'd decided to keep the ceremony private even though my step-mother wanted to do something extraordinary like a Disney themed wedding or something equally o
BlueIt was time.Time for me to finally take the marriage vows with Hunter.An hour ago when Adrian brought my brother, Apollo to into my room. I was shocked and I hadn't known what to say. We'd stared at each other for so long, I'd started to wonder if it was a dream.Without thinking I'd ran into his arms and sobbed into his chest. It's during that time I realized how much I'd missed my family. To have my brother here on my wedding day was making me even more emotional.And then a new fear had crept into my mind.What if he forced me to leave with him?
Blue I offered Hunter the box of chocolates but he stared at it with a strange expression on his face. I'd noticed that since we'd entered the room, Hunter was acting different. His forehead had worry lines, he was either talking too fast or not at all and that was not like him.What was wrong with him?Was he suddenly regretting his decision of getting married to me? Maybe Hunter was disappointed with the dowry that was given to him by Apollo, if that was the case then I needed to know.Hunter waved his hand dismissively at the offered chocolates, "I'll have them later.""Okay," I said popping a dark chocolate truffle into my mouth and moaning. The
HunterI woke up the next morning with Blue snoring softly and snuggled in the crook between my arm and neck, her delicate little hands holding me in the middle possessively. I stared at her wondering if Blue had really married me last night or perhaps it had all been a dream.I dared a look at the grandfather clock near the hearth. It was a little after ten a.m. I dreaded thinking about college and all the notes that I'd have to borrow from someone to keep up. I decided to compartmentalize any discouraging thoughts about college and concentrate on the bliss I was currently living in.I hadn't felt so fucking sated in like forever. It was like a missing piece of me had come back. I brushed a stray lock away from her ear and kissed her there.
BlueHunter placed a picnic mat on the floor with a basket filled with the food that the cook had prepared. It was a lovely place, the river banks; surrounded by lush greenery and a calm river. The sound of the birds added to the feeling, it was a good change from the city chaos. If Hunter wished we could stay here forever and I wouldn't complain.We'd gotten a perfect spot under the shade of a large tree. Hunter opened the basket and pulled out sandwiches and mini pizzas for the two of us. There was also a homemade cheesecake. I took a bite, the cheese, and the blackberries tasted heaven, so moist and gooey. I moaned and heard Hunter laugh. "She's a great cook, isn't she? Mary-Alix."I nodded earnestly. "Can she teach me to cook like her?"
Hunter The entire fucking night, Blue wouldn't let me touch her.Nope.My wife had made her life mission to slowly torture me to death. I'd tossed and turned for a few hours thinking about all the things I could have done to her, but I'd brought this situation onto myself and it killed me not knowing how long she was going to torture me like this, might as well stab me with a knife.I woke up to the sound of the shower turning on. I saw her chemise lying on the floor, and I instantly turned harder thinking of her and climbed out of bed. I decided to take my chances as I walked to the bathroom and tried the sliding doors but they wouldn't budge. The glass was fogged up with the steam and her delicate nude form was par
BlueThere was a reason why Hunter never took me out to the beach when there were people around. There was a reason why we never swam in the public swimming pool. It was because I shapeshifted into a mermaid every time I dived into the water.Like right now.I hadn't realized what was happening until the kid pushed me into the pool and my legs transformed into a mermaid tail.I panicked. This wasn't supposed to happen. He'd given me strict instructions not to move so I'd remained frozen in place, and I had not moved even when I knew the kid was going to push me into the water.Where was Hunter when I needed him?
