(This story is set in the same world as the Lake Monster, but with new characters. It is a short little fic designed to precede the Lake Monster sequel.)

The summer breeze was a cooling relief as Hailey climbed the steep hill to her destination. She wiped the sweat away from her face and flicked away an irritating strand of brown hair. Despite putting her shoulder length hair in a ponytail, a strand always managed to break free. She sighed and trudged on, telling herself that it was worth it. Instead of taking the well-worn path on the left to the lake that all the mermaids knew of, she took the one on the right that appeared to lead into nothing but forest.
But she knew better. She was the only one in town that knew about the secret lake that took an extra half hour to get to, but it was well worth it for the privacy. As the sweat dripped down her face she told herself that another ten minutes and then she could be settled comfortably under a tree, reading her book and enjoying the summer day.
It felt good to know of the secret lake, something that the mermaids had never discovered. Hailey was an interesting addition to the mermaid colony, her mother, Joyce had fallen in love with a mermaid named Ari, and they had decided to stay in the human world, adopting Hailey when she was nine. She had purposefully been nothing but trouble for the first few years, but their love for her never faded and eventually she began to love them too.
It was only until after she graduated from college that they told her of the mermaid world and Ari's secret. And now she watched over the store that her parents owned. They were on their month long honeymoon trip and had left her to take care of the store and their house a few blocks away. While the mermaids were very nice to her, she still felt very different, and having a secret place all to herself helped relax her.
But what Hailey didn't know was that someone else knew of the lake, and that someone was already at the lake, enjoying the crystal clear water. It was Alexa's favorite spot, a secret place that she had been coming to since she was young. She swam a few laps around the tear-shaped lake before walking back onto shore, allowing her blue skin to dry under the sun before heading over to the shade of the nearby trees. She had packed a picnic basket full of food, but as she laid on the cool grass, another need surfaced.
She stretched indolently before running her hand down her front, over the muscles of her stomach, before reaching the junction between her thighs.
She closed her eyes as she coaxed her cock out of its prepuce sheath, rubbing the base of it and working her way up to the sensitive head. Ah it felt so good when she rubbed the tip, coating her hand in her own precum. She stroked the shaft slowly at first, then gradually increasing in speed until she was close. She quickly grabbed a towel and pulled it over the tip, spurting into it. Ah, much better. She put the towel to the side and lay back down, putting her hands behind her head happily.
She lay that way for a few minutes, enjoying the high that followed her orgasm. She started to sit up after a while, but then realized she couldn't sit up. "Meep?" She said, confused at the pull on her wrists. She turned her head to try and look; apparently she had laid down in a bunch of vines and now had expertly gotten herself stuck in them. She tugged and tugged but it didn't seem to do anything, the vines held fast onto her wrists. She was starting to panic when she saw someone approaching, then she sighed in relief. It was embarrassing, but she was glad she wasn't going to be stuck here. "Hello." She called out to the approaching figure.
Disappointment hit Hailey hard as she spotted a mermaid already reclining near the lake. Guess this place isn't that much of a secret after all, she thought grumpily to herself. She recognized the mermaid, Alexa. Alexa spoke English, and so they had the occasional chat when she dropped by for groceries, just small talk, but she did remember last week when she was struggling to bring in the crates of potatoes and Alexa had offered to help, lifting them almost effortlessly and putting them away.
"Hailey." Alexa smiled in recognition. She looked a little embarrassed, and Hailey soon realized why. It was hard not to notice Alexa's large cock resting lazily against her leg, mermaid's cocks only came out when they were aroused, and it looked like Alexa had taken care of herself already.
"I got stuck in these vines, do you mind helping me out?" Alexa's silky voice brought her back to reality, she realized that she had just been staring at Alexa's cock. Alexa hadn't seemed to notice though; she was still struggling against the vines, trying to break free. She knelt down and started to examine the vines.
"Wow, you're really stuck." She commented. "So, who else knows about this place?" She asked curiously as she examined the vine.
"Pretty sure it's just you and me." Alexa said, looking over. Bad idea, the way Hailey was crouched Alexa got a full view of her cleavage and even part of a pert nipple, peeking out from underneath her green sports bra. Even in just a sports bra and black capris Hailey was way overdressed compared to the mermaids, who were always nude. Alexa wondered what the rest of the nipple looked like. Her cock responded immediately, giving a happy twitch at the thought. This time she noticed Hailey's eyes dart to her cock. Then she noticed she wasn't free yet.
"It's a shame, I thought I had this place all to myself...I'm kind of disappointed." Hailey said.
"Meep?" Alexa frowned at the hand stroking her arm, confused. "Hailey, the vines..." She let out a yelp of surprise as Hailey straddled her waist in one smooth motion.
Ok, now Hailey had no idea where she was going with this, all she knew was that she was pissed that someone had already known about her secret lake spot, and apparently from the looks of it, it was a wanking off spot too. She was just winging it now, but with Alexa the mermaid all tied up, she figured she'd have a little fun, make her squirm a bit. She traced Alexa's abs with her fingers, delighting in the confused look on the mermaid's face, and something else too. From this position it was easy to admire Alexa's body, the thin waist, the well-muscled arms, and the small but perky breasts. "So I'm guessing this is your place then, isn't it? You were probably here first, so I guess it's yours. Your...jerking off place." She circled the small nipple with her index finger, gently rolling it between her thumb and finger.
Alexa squirmed uncomfortably underneath Hailey, she could feel her cock hardening, and Hailey wasn't even touching her there. It was embarrassing to feel herself getting aroused by Hailey's touch, my god, were all humans this manipulative?
"I'm willing to share the place, it'll be our secret." She said. But it wasn't about the lake anymore, that was obvious when Hailey shrugged off the offer. Soft hands came up to squeeze her breasts, making her moan.
