Claimed by the Mer-Shifter Prince I Made Cry

I found a man on the beach.

He had a breathtaking silver-blue tail.

I hid him in an old bathtub inside my abandoned boathouse.

When I wiped his tail, he blushed so hard that his tears turned into pearls.

Blinded by greed, I coaxed him, “Come on. Cry a little more.”

Late that night, he wrapped his arms around my neck and whispered seductively,

“Want more pearls? Then… be mine.”
