Chapter summary:

Just a sexy little interlude told from our favorite mermaid's POV :)

Rey was now a mated woman. She was very happy about that.

Mated to a human, no less. That was… interesting. Didn't see that one coming.

But her human mate had everything she could have asked for. He was handsome, so very nice to her, and he had very large cock. Rey was very happy about all of that. She couldn't have asked for a better mate.

She snuggles closer to him. he's still sleeping, poor thing. Poor mate. He's all tuckered out.

Oh and it had been his first time! How wonderful was that? Sure, he had tried to hump her thigh at one point. It had been really funny. He didn't seem to think it so funny, but then he'd gotten annoyed enough to finally stick it in. Like, finally.

Rey props herself up on her elbow to look at him. His chest rises and falls steadily. She's never seen his face look so tranquil. She's been spying on him in his sleep a lot recently, ever since she'd seen that big cock of his, but tonight he has an extra special look of contentment.

Yeah, that's right. She mated on him good, didn't she?

Rey giggles to herself, her lips breaking out into a wide grin as her mate starts to stir only to fall right back asleep. She'd been a little annoyed with him at first when he'd passed out on top of her. The mating had been good. Really good, in fact. Other than when he'd somehow pinched her down there. But once she'd gotten used to that big cock of his she'd wanted to go again and again. She'd always pictured her mating night to be an all night long affair. Rey bets they could do all sorts of positions with these strange lower arm things of theirs. If she had her tail they could ave had some fun with that, too.

Except he'd fallen asleep like immediately. Oh that's fine. She's just going to be right here when he gets up. Rey's going to get her round two, she just has to be a little patient.

She looks out the window. The moon is setting and dawn is starting to glow. When Rey looks back at her mate she notices that his cock area is a little more visible from underneath the sheet.

Oh! Really? Okay, she's done waiting. She's given him plenty of time.

Rey starts off slow. It's going to be really fun to see what her mate can sleep through. If he's a heavy sleeper than she can have a lot of fun. And if he's a light sleeper… well then surprise!

Rey leans over him. Her hair falls across his face and it must tickle him because his nose twitches. Then she moves to his shoulder, admiring her bite. It was angry and red. So pretty. She hoped her own looked like that, too.

Her mate makes a slight huff when she blows on it. Or maybe it was a snore? His eyes are closed and he must still be sleeping otherwise she's pretty sure he'd wake up all flustered and bumbling like he does. He'd probably try to make those funny noises at her. Gods, the man likes to hear himself do that. He does know that she doesn't understand him, no matter how much he repeats himself, right? Annoying, but sometimes Rey doesn't mind. Sometimes Rey really likes the sound of his voice.

She traces her finger along the center of his chest. The shape of him underneath he sheet begins to stir. Rey can almost picture it. That big cock of his. She immediately feels a flush of heat run through her own body. Thank the maker her new form can get randy. It's not so bad having these lower arms. Not so bad at all.

When she reaches his bellybutton she pauses to circle it with a fingernail. His stomach muscles flex under her touch and the sheet rises ever higher.

He wakes with a sharp cry, his lower body bucking up into her hand that she had just started to drift past the halfway mark.

"Gods!"

He grabs her wrist. Rey giggles but doesn't let go. She's got a grip on him now and he'd better not tug on her too hard, or else.

"M'Lady!"

His voice is a shade higher pitched. She doesn't know what the first word means other than he says it all the karking time. The second one is her name and she gives her hand a pulse just to watch his eyes bug. Because it's not her name, but rather his name for her. That makes it special.

Rey coos at him, letting him know that it's alright. She's not angry that he fell asleep on top of her after the first round. Amused and a more than a little frustrated, yes, but not angry.

She shifts her weight, rising up to her knees but never letting her grip waver. Her human's eyes widen so much. Big baby. As if she'd hurt her mate and her new favorite toy.

He starts yapping at her again. Yeah yeah, pretty boy, keep talking. Say it a few more times and it'll suddenly make sense.

Rey straddles his lower thighs and starts pumping him through the sheet. She's getting really uncomfortable now. If she was alone she'd have already finished herself off already, now that she knows how.

Ah, but Rey doesn't have to do that to herself anymore, does she? She just needs to show her handsome human thigh humper where everything goes.

Rey snatches back the covers and her human yelps. Kriff she likes her mate. A lot. Is it love? Rey's not sure, but as she strokes his cock to full attention she can't deny that she feels something very acute for him.

Love with a human in so short a time? They've known each other the blink of an eye. It feel so right though,.

To prove that to herself she lifts her hips up then down, mounting him. She had been intent on sliding down to the root in one move but it's her turn to yelp. He's… well he's really big. Maybe the pinch their first time hadn't been his fault, big clumsy human oaf that he is?

"Rey?"

His voice is full of such concern. His hands have wrapped around her hips and he's holding her steady, their bodies awkwardly joined a palm's width down on her journey.

Rey sucks in a breath and his hands tighten, grounding her. He's not trying to pull her off him, though. Naughty boy.

Rey closes her eyes and pictures last night. Pictures him pummeling her really good and hard. She'd liked that a lot, nearly as much as when he'd bit her. That gives her an idea. She drags one of his hands away and wraps it over her bite, pushing his palm down hard against her.

She hisses, pleasure and pain filling her just like he is. Yes. Her mating bite. She never wants it to heal. She'll rub salt in it if she has to. Anything to keep the memory of their first shared climaxes vivid in her mind.

Her mate calls her name out again. Rey cracks her eyes open to see him wearing almost as pained an expression as she assumes she has.

With a grunt Rey drops her weight, taking the rest of him. Oooh… ouch. But her mate mutters something harsh and his eyes roll back. Totally worth it just to see that.

Rey starts an easy, circular pace. Her lower arms seem to think that's the way to go, the moment just comes naturally to them. Her human grips her hips again when she lets go of his hand, her bite throbbing and quickening her pulse. Then he leans up, his hands sliding along the sweat of her back to draw her closer by her shoulders.

Rey was so glad about a lot of things. Glad she was mated and mated to him. Glad he had a nice, big cock. And glad that humans also liked to kiss. His lips were so soft and full, distracting her with his generous kisses until his own hips started to buck up to match her and stars bloomed behind Rey's eyes.

Just like before, the next few minutes quickly spiral. Hips move faster, tongues probe deeper. Rey loves her mate's tongue, too. Feeling it in her mouth gives her really wicked ideas. Makes her feel quite selfish and demanding.

Rey pulls away then to bring her attention back to her mate's bite. Hers still aches from where she had him squeeze her. A really good sort of ache that was matched with what he lower body was feeling as the whole bed starts to rock with their vigorous coupling.

Her mate's so nice and big but dumb. He's probably too dumb to realize that he'll need to keep his bite as raw as he can for as long as he can to make the scar nice and pretty. So Rey will have to help him out with that.

Rey sinks her teeth down exactly where she had last time. She finds her clefts and bites even harder. Her human cries out, echoing in her ear. His next thrust is much harder and Rey frowns for a moment before he collects himself. Easy there, human. She wasn't quite ready for that.

Rey punishes him by letting go with her teeth but clawing at his back again. She can still feel the welts she'd left. Oh yes, he was so mated, wasn't he? She did that to him. That was all her work.

Their next kiss is frantic and sloppy from his side. His hands are digging into her skin. His nails are short and blunted and Rey kind of wishes they weren't so he could mark her up to. Nevermind though. They're almost at the finish line, or at least she is.

Rey snakes a hand between their bodies. It's a challenge given their heavy turbulence, but Rey's intent on them both finishing together. Then, provided her mate doesn't just pass out again, they can have breakfast. And then maybe go again. And then eat some more. It's going to be a great day.

Rey reaches her peak with a great howl, images of food and her mate's prowess alternating center stage in her mind. She almost gets her wish, too. Her human lasts a few more bounces than she does. Then he collapses, the bed shaking as he flops back down slack.

Or maybe she's shaking? Oh yes, Rey is in fact. That had been a really good one. Better than their first coupling.

He says something to her. Rey rolls her eyes and spings the tip of his nose with her thumb and forefinger. Silly, dumb human. Always with the making sounds.

She cuddles right in though when her mate lifts his arm. Rey rests her head against his chest, hearing how his heartbeat is still racing underneath her ear. Maybe…. Maybe breakfast can wait. Rey never thought she'd think such a thing, but that was the old her talking. Now she's a mated woman and this time her human didn't even try to stick it in the wrong hole.

Life really is good, isn't it?

When Rey wakes up its approaching being bright outside and her human isn't her pillow anymore.

She stretches and whines, feeling the full force of both sides of the aftermath of their union. Her human was both a blessing and a curse in her life, it would seem, but the longer it has been since they've been mated the more and more Rey wouldn't trade this for anything, maybe not even her tail back.

His clothing is spilled across the floor, and Rey picks up his shirt and wraps it around her. He seems to get rather fussy when she's not wearing anything. Maybe that's fair. She wouldn't want any other mermaid- or human either, for that matter- to see that big cock of his. Not that Rey isn't well within her rights and capability to kill anyone that tries to take it from her, but still… it's the principle. And since it seems to matter to her human she'll try to wear these pieces of fabric more. Just for him.

Rey creeps out of the bedroom completely silently. There he is, her mate. He's starting the fire and he's only wearing something on his lower arms. It give her a perfect view of all the bright, ouchy-looking wounds she'd left on him during her passion. Heh. Maybe she doesn't have to worry about someone else. One look at him and anyone would be able to see that he's a deeply mated man.

He must not have been up for very long, and Rey leaves him to go about his morning routine. She'll bring breakfast to him. Catch him some nice, big, fresh fish. Show him how lucky he is that she chose him.

Rey slinks out the front door and picks up her favorite head-cutter. It's a beautifully sharp half-circle that she'd found when she'd killed that karking lower reefer. Sliced that dummy girl's head off like a fin through water. Rey smiles at it, savoring the memory. She's not expecting any trouble, but you never know.

The closest beach should do. That's where her mate found her and she has such warm feelings for that place. Of course she'd been terrified when she'd first laid eyes on him, and losing her tail had been pure misery itself, but it had all worked out in the end. It had been worth it.

Rey's starting her morning patrol a little later than usual. The best time was always right before dawn when the intruders would be the most active. But she'd been busy with her mate. Oops. She'll be more vigilant next time.

The closer beach is all quiet and foggy. Rey dangles the fat, pudgy things at the ends of her lower arms until a fish comes by to investigate. Then she snatches it up, thumping its head hard against the rock she ad been perched on. One down, a few more to go. She and her human need a big feast this morning to keep their strength up.

She cracks a smile at that, feeling another pleasantly warm and distracting flush at the memory. Kriff, if she'd known being mated would be like this, she would haver done it years ago!

But… but then it wouldn't have been with her human. No, she would have probably been mated to some merman, and what would have happened when she lost her tail? Mating is for life, but would she have met her human then? That would have been horrible.

No. No need to worry about such things. She made the right choice. Worth the wait and now they have plenty of time to make up for all those lost years where they cumbersomely didn't know each other.

Rey skips on to the next beach, feeling happier than she has in a long time. She even juggles her favorite head cutter a few rounds until she gets cocky and nicks herself. Oops again. Good thing her mate didn't see that. He'd understand, though. He was always so patient with her.

With patience like that he'd make a good father.

Rey had been avoiding that thought for a while. Of course one of the main points of mating was to have children, but did she just condemn them both to a childless existence? They weren't the same species. It couldn't be between them.

The thought of not having children with her human made Rey feel rather sad. She hadn't been trying to, but she hadn't been not trying either. Maybe it was for the best. She had already broken so many rules with mating to a human. They could be happy together with just the two of them. It would be fine.

Rey sniffs, her eyes misting up despite her optimistic thoughts. Then she catches the scent of it. Blood. Mermaid blood, and fresh at that.

Immediately her deep water instincts kick in. Survive. Kill. Defend. If some shallow reefer was trying to pull something over-

Oooh, that was a lot of blood. Like a whole lot. There was a wide red streak spilling across the sands of the second beach. Rey kneels down and swipes her finger over the closet splotch. Shallow reefer definitely and it tastes about an hour old. If she'd been doing her duty properly, she could have broken up whatever had happened.

So someone thinks they can kill on her territory? Oh no. Oh no no no. Rey's the alpha around here. Whoever did this is going to have to learn the hard way, and for very briefly, why you don't poach on a deep water's hunting grounds.

Rey breaks out into a run, following first the blood trail and then the scent of a human as it disappears into the tall saw grass of the coastal dunes.

Author's Note:

Ooooh, trouble's a brewing! Kylo better go get your girl or… actually, she'll probably be fine. She's got her favorite head cutter and everything! :D

Writing M rated smut is hard. Trying to find that balance between describing what's going on but not being too descriptive. And I don't think there's going to be too many more sex scenes in this fic, a few probably, but it's not really that kind of story. Probably going to have some 'fade to blacks' or we'll never be able to get on with the plot!

And I'm going on vacation now, huge rush to get this and 2 other stories out before I go, so I'll be back with an update around the 27th of the month! Please forgive me if I'm a little late in getting back to your comments, but do please keep them coming! Each and very one I read and without the amazing support this story has gotten it would have never made it past ch3 let alone 19 and counting! You're all the best so thank you so much for sticking with me on this crazy AU!
