That little declaration was more than enough for Ariel as another kiss and thrust caused her to cry out in pleasure as she had another orgasm right then and there.
And there, not even a minute later, Eric followed, crying out Ariel's name as he came, filling Ariel's womb, and Zuri was pleased and awed to see her lovers' faces as they were full of euphoria, feeling Ariel's body quiver against her, and Eric's tail pulse against her tail.
"Is that... is that how it really is supposed to feel or is that all mostly just Zuri's idea?", Eric whispered as he gently cuddled with Ariel as Zuri wrapped her tail around Ariel's.
Ariel giggled, whispering, "Mostly Zuri's idea. Merman with mermaid is different than human and human, I think...I don't know about merman and human woman or human man and mermaid.".
"Yeah, well, let's not confuse the situation much further trying to think of the biology and all of how that happens.", Zuri chuckled as she kissed Ariel on the lips.
Ariel smiled widely, "Fair enough...So, are you feeling ready yet?", calmly asking in curiosity, and Zuri shrugged, "Not quite...Can we nap for a bit?".
Eric chuckled, "That sounds good to me...", still inside Ariel's slit, feeling his length slowly decrease the loads of his seed, and Ariel nodded, relaxing as she allowed gravity to pull her down, along with Eric and Zuri, landing on the sandy seafloor that's soft and comforting.
Ariel cuddled with Eric and Zuri with her arms around them, their ends of the tails loosening up, but still intertwined, and she kissed Zuri and Eric on the lips, "Sweet dreams, my loves.".
Eric smiled, "Sweet dreams, my little mermaid and my strong warrior.", and Zuri smiled, "Sweet dreams, my wildfire and my raven.", and they fell into a deep sleep, with Eric extracting his length back into his slit as it was finished.
They didn't notice a subtle white glow within Ariel's belly, unknowing that inside mindscapes, spirits made into flesh can get pregnant. When Ariel's spirit reunites with her body sooner or later, she would still be pregnant, but it will be some time before the trio notices.
Eventually, the strange dawn against what was a permanent night sky that would put most paintings to shame, rose once more as the trio were all gently washed back ashore. Eric was the first one up as the gentle tide gave him a small splash to wake him up.
Eric yawned, opening his eyes, and he looked over, smiling tenderly as he saw Ariel half laying on his chest, with her waist cuddled by Zuri, with her legs wrapped around Ariel's legs. Wait, legs? Huh, Zuri must have unconsciously wished all of them back into human form, yet they are all nude.
Eric then widened his eyes as the sunlight showed more of Zuri's scars...He knew about the arms and legs, and that damn breast scar...But not on her back, backside, feet, or on her womanhood as she's wearing nothing now...
Horrified to see a 'X' scar right there on Zuri's womanhood, Eric's eyes made tears, wanting to kiss and ravish every single scar right now, but knowing that Zuri hasn't said yet of being ready, he was instead boiling angry...The torchlight and the moonlight on the ship gave him sight to see the arms and legs, but in the sunlight, right here, right now, he slowly sat up, crying as he wished he was there that night in Zuri's past to stop the attackers...
Practically another regret of his almost. Unable to save Ariel from her demise, and unable to spare Zuri from her scars. The past was the past, he knew that, but how much he or anyone really would want to change that. He leaned over and gently kissed Zuri on the forehead before he turned to get Ariel on the cheek.
Ariel fluttered her eyes open, feeling Eric's kiss on her cheek, and smiled, "Morning, Eric.", before blinking in surprise as she saw the pink streaks in his eyes, signifying that Eric cried, "What's wrong, love?".
Eric exhaled softly, "Zuri...It's worse than I ever imagined...I can't believe she lived through it...".
"I know...", Ariel sighed. "She's suffered more than almost anyone could truly survive where she came from. She honestly shouldn't have made it... but she did.".
"And carries that with her from now on.", Eric roughly spoke with a sigh. Ariel nodded, and kissed Eric on the cheek, "It's gonna be okay. She does have us.", before looking over at the slumbering Zuri, and she gently caressed Zuri's curly hair.
Zuri sighed and snuffled before blinking her eyes open and smiled at Ariel and Eric before widening her eyes in fear and anxiety as she freed herself from Ariel, backing off, hiding herself with a sob.
Eric moved and reached out to hold Zuri's hand, "Wait, Zuri, we're not pitying you...We care for you... Please don't be scared...", and Ariel joined him, holding Zuri's other hand, "That's right, we are angry at those who hurt you. We love you, Zuri, all of you. Please don't think we're leaving you for being scarred. Scars are marks, proof that you live, to fight for your friends, your family, your freedom, and us.".
Zuri gave a small nod. "Sorry, it's just... I haven't really let anyone outside my family get close about this and all... not even the rest of the team.", she explained as Eric and Ariel understood.
"And it'll stay that way if you wish." Ariel told her. "We won't say anything unless you say it first."
Zuri exhaled in relief and sobbed as she hugged Ariel and Eric, and they shushed her, rubbing her back and caressing her hair. This lasted for a good five minutes before Zuri calmed down, and took deep breaths as she pulled back, wiping away her tears.
Eric squeezed her shoulder, "Better?", and Zuri nodded, "Yeah.", before taking another deep breath as she then looked straight at them, "I'm ready.".
Ariel smiled, caressing her cheek, "You sure?", and Zuri spoke, "Yes.", and Ariel glanced at Eric, who smiled, and they nodded as one, and brought themselves closer, to kiss Zuri on the corners of her lips before suckling and kissing her skin on both sides of her body, ravishing every piece of scar as they held her.
Zuri chuckled for a moment as the scars somewhat tickled in a way. "Surprised we're doing it so early...", she said. "Hey, it's still night.", Eric smirked as he kissed her.
"It's always night here.", Ariel gave a small laugh. Zuri giggled, "True.", and the others laughed before adding pressure as they suckled and tasted Zuri's scars as they went lower, making Zuri whimper and gasp, discovering sensations she never knew before.
"This is to make up for before, right?", Zuri moaned. "Yes, it wasn't fair that Eric and I mostly had all the fun last night.", Ariel told her as she brought her in for another kiss.
Zuri smiled, "But I helped you two along.", kissing Ariel back, and moaned as Ariel resumed her loving on Zuri, and the couple ravished her all the way. Eric glanced at Ariel, and gestured to Zuri's womanhood with his eyes, and Ariel nodded subtly.
They then reached for her womanhood, their hands simultaneously simulating Zuri's bundle of nerves as they ducked down to eat Zuri out as Zuri herself was confused at first before gasping, clenching her hands into fists in the sand.
"Oh, you two...", Zuri moaned as Eric and Ariel chuckled. "Well, I think she's already nice and ready.", Eric said.
"I think she's been waiting too long for this.", Ariel said. "Are... wait, Zuri, do you want me as well too...?", Eric asked gently.
Zuri smiled at Eric, "I trust you...But first, why don't you get him ready, Ariel?", with a giggle. "Oh, I plan to.", Ariel quickly reached over and gave a strong grip to Eric's manhood as the girls chuckled at his moan.
Zuri then gasped as Ariel's other hand squeezed on her single breast, moaning as Eric's hand went to pump into her slowly, and Zuri's hand went to join Ariel's hand on Eric's manhood while Zuri's other hand went to caress Ariel's hair while Eric's other hand simulates Ariel's bundle of nerves.
The air was pierced with sounds of moaning, whimpering, gasping, and groaning as the trio worked each other, and Zuri then cried out as she gave out her first orgasm.
"That... oh, man, that was crazy...", Zuri muttered as Eric chuckled, "Trust me, Zuri, you'll be blown away by what comes next.".
Ariel smiled warmly as she chuckled, "Indeed.", crawling over to Zuri, kissing her on the lips, "I got you, my love.", before going around Zuri to sit down behind her, and hold Zuri's hands, kissing her shoulders.
Zuri shivered and sighed from the touches, looking at Eric, "Would you please go steady, please, Eric?". Eric smiled tenderly as he crawled closer to Zuri, caressing Zuri's 'X' scar lovingly with a finger, "I will, and I promise that no one will scar you anymore no matter what. We love you, Zuri, and it's the truth.", kissing Zuri tenderly on the lips.
Eric moved into position before he got himself ready to push himself into Zuri while Ariel continued to play with her. "Should I help prepare her just a bit more, Eric?", Ariel asked.
Eric blinked, "That would be best, but Zuri, what do you want?", and Zuri whispered, "Could you massage me, Ariel? Please?".
Ariel kissed Zuri's ear, whispering, "I'd be honored to.", before starting to massage Zuri, and Zuri sighed, groaning in pleasure, "Oh, yes, yes, wildfire, harder.", and Ariel massaged harder, moving all over her back, and then smiled as she then massaged Zuri's buttocks which Zuri gasped with wide eyes, "Oh!", spreading her legs even more.
Eric smiled, "That's it, Ariel. Alright, Zuri, I'm about to go in. Don't worry, I will be steady and slow.", and Zuri nodded with half-lidded eyes from the massage, "I love you two.".
Eric nodded as his manhood started to brush against her womanhood. Zuri moaned again as she was on the verge of another orgasm again just by the feeling alone almost.
Eric smiled gently as he carefully lined himself, and slowly entered, feeling Zuri's walls constricting around him with every half-inch, hearing Zuri's gasps and moans of pleasure.
Ariel finished massaging Zuri, feeling that all the tension is gone from Zuri, and went to kiss and suckle Zuri's ears and neck, making Zuri beg, "Please, please, more, both of you.".
"Well, better give her what she wishes.", Eric said as he finally started to push in, penetrating her. Zuri moaned as Eric pushed a bit more every 10 seconds, getting used to it, to his incredible size, arching her neck back as Ariel suckled and kissed it, breathing air into her ears, making her shiver and gasp.
Zuri's hands intertwined with Ariel's, closing her eyes in bliss as she whimpered and moaned from her lovers' actions, and then gasped as she felt Eric reach her hymn wall, "Oh!".
Ariel whispered, "You're in control here, imagine no pain when he goes through, just plain pleasure.", and Zuri smiled softly, glancing at Eric, "Push, Eric.".
Eric nodded as he kept pushing in harder as Zuri cried out more before he finally got as far as he could into her. "Oh, God...", Zuri muttered as she wrapped her arms around Eric tightly.
Eric held her, kissing her and then Ariel, as he then started to thrust back and forward, hitting Zuri's secret spot, hearing Zuri's cries of pleasure, "Oh, yes! Eric! Please!", as Ariel kissed Zuri's shoulders as she wrapped her arms around Zuri, her hands caressing the breast scar, and squeezing her single breast.
"As you wish.", Eric told her as he sped up his trusting as he already was close to the edge already as he kept it up. Zuri's hands made their way to Ariel's womanhood as she tried to please the redhead at the same time.
Ariel moaned into Zuri's neck as she arched forward into Zuri's back, squeezing Zuri's single breast harder, and Zuri cried out in pleasure as Eric thrusted harder and faster at the same time, seeing stars behind her closed eyes.
Two minutes later, Zuri then felt it, her second orgasm coming through as she bucked and cried out, "Eric!", and Eric gave out a split second later, crying out, "Zuri!", his orgasm giving him one last thrust as Zuri felt her womb filling up with Eric's seed.
Being in control of her own mind, she is only looking for love, not to get pregnant, yet she's enjoying it all the same, her heart beating fast as Ariel and Eric kissed her, whispering into her ears that they love her.
The three of them started to relax as they all snuggled up together once more. "That... that was amazing... well worth the wait.", Zuri chuckled as she gently rubbed Eric's chest. "Does it truly count? I mean, we're in your mind and all...", Eric asked which he made a good point.
Zuri smiled warmly, "Well, one thing for sure, you guys really went for it here...You truly love all of me...My physical fear is gone now...I feel lighter than ever, like the burden is off my shoulders...".
Ariel caressed Zuri's arm, "That's good to hear. Of course, it's far different doing it in the real world, with the slight pain that comes with it, and we'll get the chance for that...But first, how do you feel?".
Zuri exhaled, "I feel like I'm beyond rested enough out there, but the dark magic is still there...yet it's shrinking...I feel like I'm having help out there by my friends...But there's still something missing...".
Eric blinked in surprise, "Really? I thought us loving you, and making love together is enough...", and Ariel looked thoughtful before widening her eyes, "There's something we haven't done, and that is the commitment as a triad, a family...".
"Is this where we all propose to each other or something?", Zuri asked as Eric chuckled, "Well, Ariel and I already planned to before... things.".
Ariel sighed heavily, "Ursula ruined things by putting the palace and Eric under a spell when she disguised herself...I was so fortunate to make it to the ship with Flounder and Sebastian's help...The shell breaking, and the spell breaking...", and Eric was disgusted yet annoyed, groaning, "I was honestly going to ask Ariel to marry me on my birthday after she was going to give me my surprise gift, and then the whole human spell came...After Grimsby set me straight on the second night after the whole rowboat fiasco, I was intending to go to Ariel's room and propose to her when Ursula came in...".
Zuri hissed in sympathy, "Ouch...Good thing you killed Ursula off...", and Eric snorted, "That was one of the things I and Triton agreed on. He hated Ursula very much.".
Ariel chuckled bitterly, "Indeed. But I would never regret those first days of being human...It is the second-best adventure next to falling in love with Eric, and now you.", with a smile as she kissed Zuri on the cheek.
Zuri smiled widely as she hugged her lovers, "I love you guys...", kissing them on the cheeks, relishing into the love as Eric finally finished filling into her, pulling out of her, and smiled as he kissed Zuri on the cheek.
Imagining them to be freshly clean from the sand and grass, Zuri got up, helping Eric and Ariel up, imagining them to be dressed in their movie wedding outfits, and herself in a modern, slightly authentic, beautiful wedding dress in ice blue and sea green tones...
Ariel smiled, "You look magnificent, my loves.", and Eric smiled, "You look beautiful, my little mermaid and my strong warrior.". Zuri blushed, "You look fabulous, my wildfire and my raven...So, how do we do this?".
A laugh sounded out, and they looked over to see a long, serpentine dragon of green with hints of blue and pink, and it's jumping and leaping through the waves as it swam and flew in a dance of sorts before landing into a slide-swish with its tail as it landed.
"Hi! Nice to meet you three! I am Elliot, the last dragon of Enchantia from centuries ago.", the dragon smiled widely, holding up a green gemstone, "And this is the Infinity Green Stone of Time. This is the last one to unite with your friends' amulets, for there's a ritual involved, and with your wedding combined with this ritual, the dark magic will be gone, and Ariel will be brought back to life.".
Eric took a deep breath. After all this time, Ariel would be back; he had his doubts, but he was sure that Elliott and whomever else was out there, isn't leading him on, not here for sure, safe in Zuri's mind. "You alright?", Ariel asked him.
"It's just... after all this time... all the suffering and depression I went through with your death... and now that it might all be over... with you back...", Eric closed his eyes tight, clearly on the verge of breaking into tears.
Zuri squeezed Eric's shoulder comfortingly, "It's gonna be okay, Eric.", before glancing at Elliot, "Are you officiating the wedding?".
Elliot shook his head, "Nope, she is.", with a grin as a flash came and went, revealing Mama Odie and her snake, along with the entire team, along with the additions of Amelia, Delbert, and the dogs.
