The merman, my man

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 36

Without a care in the world, I began running, but Dicken swept his tail in front of me causing me to

stumble forward a few steps and collide with the desk. Suddenly I remembered there was something I

could use in the desk drawer — the tranquilizer gun!

This thing was like a savior to me, especially in this situation.

I quickly took the tranquilizer gun out from the drawer and held onto it with both hands before turning

around.

The gun was coincidentally aimed at Dicken’s chest as he pursued me. He immediately grabbed the

gun and pushed it away. Damn it! He was so strong! He probably could have bent the gun in half if he

wanted to!

I sweat profusely as I held onto the gun for dear life, and just like that, we were at a stalemate.

I didn’t know why I was so scared of Dicken, he did try to protect me back on the boat after all.

Nonetheless, I kept having a bad feeling that if I didn’t struggle to get away, something bad would

happen. I had a weird sense of déja vu that something like this had happened before.

Truth be told, I was scared that the merman was going to rape me. The thing on his lower body was

right in front of me. He didn’t even bother hiding the lust in his eyes as he inspected my naked body. I

couldn’t even try to cover my own privates, even though I desperately wanted to.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I placed a finger on the trigger and warned him, “Don’t come any closer! If

you do, I will fire the gun! “ After I finished my sentence, I poked his chest with the barrel as a threat.

He should have known what I meant since he was hit with tranquilizer darts before.

Dicken’s eyes were dark. He bore his fangs that glinted in the darkness. He was obviously trying to

threaten me as well. Moreover, based on his expression, it didn’t seem like he was scared of the

tranquilizer gun at all.

He held onto the gun and pushed the barrel away from his chest inch by inch as if he was only teasing

me earlier. The muscles in my arms were already sore. How could the strength of a woman like me

compare to the strength of a beast?

Right then, something cold and slippery wrapped itself around my ankle, his fishtail was forcing my legs

open. Then, I saw Dicken look at the bush between my legs greedily while licking his lips.

“F*ck off!“

I couldn’t tolerate the shame of being violated any longer, so I pulled the trigger and a dart embedded

itself into Dicken’s chest. His movements paused and his grip loosened. I immediately got away from

him, grabbed the communicator, and ran downstairs.

“Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me? This is Linda, I need help! “

I shouted into the communicator as I ran, but only static could be heard from it. Eventually, I could

make out a voice from the choppy noises. I was familiar with that voice… Gary!

“Hello? Is this Linda?“

Hearing Gary’s voice in a situation like this was enough to move me to tears. But just as I was about to

respond, my legs stepped on something slippery and I rolled down the stairs. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

By the time I hit the floor at the end of the stairs, my head was spinning and I could feel a sharp pain in

my knee. I must have injured myself. Perhaps I had broken a bone or injured a ligament because I

didn’t have the strength to crawl up. What was worse was that the communicator and tranquilizer gun

had fallen a few meters away from me.

I had to get to them. I desperately pushed myself in that direction with my arms. I regretted not listening

to Gary. I shouldn’t have accepted conducting research on the merman independently.

From above me, I could sense Dicken getting closer, his shadow could be seen looming larger and

stretching longer right in front of me. It looked like a n abyss, an abyss I would rather be trapped in than

to be here in this situation.

Dicken’s ghost-like voice echoed throughout the empty reservoir.

“My… Linda…“

There was nowhere to run.
