This is basically an erotic love story and of course all characters are over 21. It will start out as a love story, but as always there may be a few twists and turns. Please vote often (fives are most welcome) and of course please leave constructive comments.

Castaway Mermaid
Chapter 3
After the rain stopped, Evan gathered his salvaged pots and went to the waterfall where he filled them with water. Back at his camp, he created a bow drill with the coconut fibrous husk as his tender. He went about the arduous job of creating a fire. As the sun began to dip low on the horizon, he got a spark and soon had a roaring fire.
Something about the fire cheered him. Today had been a great day. He had managed a decent shelter, water and a fire, but the rumbling in his stomach told him he still had one major thing to go... food. For tonight he broke open a couple of coconuts and satiated his hunger, but tomorrow he needed something more.
He did one last thing. He had found a large six-foot bag while searching the ship and thought it would be a great mattress. While the fire was boiling the water, he went to the ocean and washed the bag, then draped it over a frame above the fire. The bag was dry before the water boiled, and he began filling the bag with only the tips of the palm fronds. By the time the water boiled, he had a nice soft mattress inside his lean-to.
He sat staring at the fire and that beautiful woman's face flooded his mind. Her face was heart shaped with prominent cheek bones and a straight, noble nose. Her lips were pouty, and right now she had a quirky smile, that looked mischievous and seductive at the same time. She had a small scar on her chin that somehow made her more human. Without the scar she was the perfect face of an angel and would be almost unapproachable.
However, it was her eyes that drew him to her. He had never seen the color of her eyes before. Her eyes were a fluorescent green that glowed with an inner fire, but there was also a sadness behind her eyes. As he stared into his fantasy girl's eyes, he saw an unrequited passion and a longing to belong to someone. She seemed to be missing out on love and that was odd for such a ravishingly gorgeous creature.
Of course, all these perceptions could be his imagination, but wherever she was he had to see her before he died. He scooted into the lean-to and fell asleep but waking every few hours to check on the fire. He had worked so hard to get a fire going, he wasn't going to let it go out. As dawn began to break, he woke to check on the fire and found two fish lying on a palm frond. He quickly jumped out of the lean-to and saw a gorgeous womanly shape, shrouded in a mass of blonde hair, disappear into the surf.
He ran down to the surf and saw an aquamarine tail and the mass of blonde hair swimming away. Could it be the mermaid he saw in his dream? He yelled at her, "Come back and let's talk. I want to get to know you."
She turned underwater and looked at him. Evan was stunned, her face was covered in blonde hair, and he couldn't be sure, but her eyes were that of his mystery woman. For a few seconds that could have been hours their eyes met. Everything he saw in her eyes was love, passion, despair and desire. In those few moments, she captured his heart and he wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her into submission, but he couldn't get to her.
Stunned, he shouted again for her to come back and waved for her to join him, but she only looked sad, turned and with a flip of her tail, she was gone. He ran into the water, trying to get to her, but she was too fast, and he backed out of the water, still searching.
He stood on the beach dumbfounded. All his fantasies were real. There was a real mermaid, and she was incredibly beautiful with stunning, expressive eyes. She was his dream come true and somehow, he had to get her back. After ten minutes of scouring the water with his eyes, he slowly turned and made his way back to the lean-to. He stopped and searched the water along the way back, but never saw her.
She had brought him a gift of breakfast and his rumbling tummy told him not to waste the gift. So, he added some wood to the fire, gutted the fish, scaled them and stuck them on a stick. He roasted the fish over that fire, and he had to admit, it was one of the most delicious meals he ever had. During the cooking and eating, he continued searching the water for blonde hair or aquamarine fins but couldn't find her.
He desperately wanted to find her again, but how?

Kiera had watched her man all day. She knew that during his hard work he had fulfilled his manliness. She thought he needed a gift of food, so she caught a couple of fish to bring to him. She felt desire running through her and she wanted to be with him. However, all of her upbringing told her to run and hide; humans were not to be trusted. It had been ingrained in her and despite the fact that she longed to be in his arms, her training made her run.
