This is basically an erotic love story and of course all characters are over 21. It will definitely not start out as a love story, but it will get there. Please vote often (fives are most welcome) and of course please leave constructive comments.
PS -- If you have fantasies, ideas, etc. for new stories please let me know, that includes twists on existing stories and I will see what I can do. Many of my stories have started out that way.
The Mermaid and the SEAL
Chapter 7
Sean's swim back to shore seemed long and lonely. The whole trip he was thinking about Mira and what if the elders did not sanction their marriage. How could he give up the only woman he had ever loved?
When he reached shore, he wasn't ready to go home, and he began to walk on the beach. As he began nearing the fishing wharf, he saw crowds running to the pier, but he wasn't interested in what was going on until he heard someone shouting... Mermaid. At that, his ears perked up and he began to follow the crowd.
His heart began to pound in his chest and questions ran through his mind. Had they somehow found his Mira? Could it be another mermaid? How could they have captured her? As he got closer to the wharf, he saw the crowd gathering around a fishing boat and trapped high in the nets was a naked girl. His heart sank with an ache in his chest, it was Mira. He stopped on the edge of the crowd and watched as sailors untangled Mira from the nets, but they bound her spread-eagle in the rigging.
His Mira was on display for everyone to see and a rage began to build inside him. He thought about wading through the crowd, cutting her down and taking her away. But then he looked at the crowd. It would be hundreds against one and there was no way he could get through, let alone save Mira. He needed to wait and/or get reinforcements, plus come up with a successful plan. Either way he needed some weapons and began to run back to his house.

Mira had morphed back into human form when she was still underwater, so she hoped they never saw her as a mermaid. Unfortunately, the boat had an underwater camera and captured her image as a mermaid and also when she turned human. They knew what she was as they hoisted her above the deck, but she didn't know about the cameras. She could feel the eyes of the sailors ogling her naked flesh and somehow felt dirty.
After the wonderful day and night with Sean, she knew how wrong this was. She tried to fight her way out of the net but only seemed to get more tangled.
She had never been shy about nudity, but somehow this felt filthy and depraved. As they pulled into the harbor they hoisted her higher and began to broadcast over the loudspeaker that they had caught a mermaid. By the time they had docked at the wharf, a crowd was building, and more people were coming. The fear in the pit of her stomach almost made her sick. All the stories came back to her in a rush. The brutality, the torment and the death she had heard about were all swimming around in her brain.
She had one option and that was to use her Siren voice to mesmerize the crowd, but she didn't think it would work on hundreds of people, so she needed to look for another time when there were fewer people around. Meanwhile, a half dozen sailors began untangling her from the nets, but then they used other ropes to tie her, still naked, spread-eagle and hoist her back into the air.
