“The water’s warmer than the air,” he promised, kicking off his shoes. “And I’ll make it worth your while.”

I hesitated only briefly before following his lead, stripping down to nothing. The air was cool against my skin, making me shiver slightly, but the excitement in Nerion’s eyes was infectious.

“Race you!” he called, already sprinting toward the water.

I chased after him, the sand cool beneath my feet. Nerion hit the water first, diving beneath the surface with practiced grace. I followed more cautiously, gasping as the water enveloped me. It was cold, but not unbearably so, and Nerion was right, it did feel warmer than the air.

When I surfaced, Nerion was already several yards ahead, his head bobbing in the gentle swells. The rising sun caught in his wet hair, turning it from red to liquid copper.

“Come on,” he called, beckoning me deeper.

I swam out to meet him, my body quickly adjusting to the temperature. When I reached him, he wrapped his arms around me, his skin slick against mine.

“Watch this,” he whispered, nodding toward the horizon.

As the sun climbed higher, its light hit the water at just the right angle. Suddenly, the entire sea seemed to ignite with golden fire, millions of tiny sparkles dancing across the surface.

“It only happens like this at dawn,” Nerion explained, his voice soft with reverence. “I always loved this moment when I was little. My parents used to bring me out to see it.”

I turned to look at him, struck by the vulnerability in his expression. “Thank you for sharing it with me.”

“I want to share everything with you,” he replied, his eyes never leaving mine. “The good, the bad, all of it.”

The weight of his words settled over me, and I understood what he was really saying. He was trusting me with his life, his existence, his future. It was terrifying and beautiful all at once.

“I’m going to love you forever,” I promised, the words feeling like a sacred vow on my lips.

“Forever is a long time,” he said, a hint of his old wariness creeping back into his voice.

“Not long enough,” I countered, pulling him closer.

Nerion’s lips met mine in a kiss that tasted of salt water and promise. His body was cool against mine, his wet skin sliding perfectly as we treaded water together. I felt the exact moment when he began to shift, his legs melding into his magnificent tail beneath the surface.

“Now, you should see it from under water,” he said, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes. “Ready?”

I nodded, taking a deep breath. Nerion’s arms wrapped securely around my waist as he pulled me beneath the waves. The world transformed around us, everything taking on that ethereal quality that only existed underwater. Sunlight filtered down in golden shafts, illuminating schools of tiny silver fish darting through the clear water. It was incredible.

It wasn’t long before Nerion’s lips found mine again, sharing his breath with me as he had before. The magic of it never ceased to amaze me. Gaining the ability to breathe underwater through his kiss, allowing to share in his world completely… it was incredible. His powerful tail kept us easily below the waves, the silence pressing in from all sides.

My hands traveled across his skin, seemingly of their own accord as he kissed me. My cock was already hard, pressing against his belly insistently. Before I might’ve been embarrassed that he turned me on so easily. But now, with nothing to hide between us, I felt no shame. I wanted him. And he knew just as well as I did that if he was going to kiss me, I was going to gethard. In fact, I think he delighted in torturing me with it between classes.

And I wasn’t the only one. I could feel his ridged cock pressing back against me. When I reached down and grasped the thick shaft, he moaned into my mouth, the sound echoing in the water around us. I couldn’t help but glance down as I stroked him. In this form his dick was cerulean and nearly glowing as the shafts of sunlight danced through the water.

I had to have him.

“Take me,” I said, though the water muffled my voice. “Like this.” I gave his cock a squeeze. “In your true form.”

Nerion’s eyes widened, his pupils dilating. The water around us seemed to warm instantly, or maybe it was just the heat radiating from our bodies. His tail curled slightly, the shimmering scales catching the filtered sunlight.

“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice somehow clear underwater. “We’ve never done it like this before.”

I nodded eagerly, my hands exploring the place where smooth skin transitioned into scales. “I want all of you, Nerion. Every part.”

He searched my face for a moment, as if making sure I meant it. Whatever he saw there must have convinced him, because suddenly his hands were everywhere, exploring my body with renewed urgency. The water made everything feel different, weightless, dreamlike, and intensified.

“Turn around,” he whispered against my ear, his voice sending shivers down my spine despite the warm water.

I did as he asked, feeling the powerful undulation of his tail against my legs as he positioned himself behind me. His hands gripped my hips, steadying me in the gentle current. I felt the press of his cock against my entrance, slick and warm.
