This Chapter has LEMONS.

After they were gone, Kevin spoke. "Look, I have been thinking a lot in the past few hours and if what it takes for you to say yes is for me to be completely faithful to you, and that means no other humans and no more sea creatures then I'm in. Obviously, there is something special between us. I mean hell, you are some kind of blocker to me. And I love that. I love that I can't hear anything when we are here together."

Zoey was silent. She had so many thoughts running through her head.

"What if Homelander finds out?"

"Finds out what? We are able to be together and I can still keep my powers."

"Yes, but I am a blocker for you."

"But only when we are here, in your house."

"I still don't know Kevin."

"Please Zoey, don't make me beg. This is the quietest my head as ever been, and I love it. I don't want to go back to hearing creatures full time."

"So, what you are saying is in addition to me, this would also be the place where you can get away?"

"Exactly! When I need some time to myself because it's too loud in my head, I'll come here."

"I still wish you would give me some time."

"I understand you are worried, and I don't want to push you, but if you don't decide, Homelander might change his mind and then nothing might ever happen."

"I just hate that I feel rushed to make this decision."

"I know baby, and I'm sorry."

Zoey gave him a look. "Baby?"

"I was trying it out."

There was more silence.

"And anything you are worried about; we can figure it out together."

"Hypothetically if we get together, stay together, get married, and have kids. Will they be supes too?"

"Well, if I convince Homelander to let me take the cure, no. But if I am still a supe then yes. But we can always give them the cure, so they don't turn out like me."

"I'm just worried about everything."

"I know."

"Can I ask you one more thing?"

"Sure."

"Will you ever get tired of me? I mean I am not a supe and…"

"No, you are something better. You are my peace. When the sea is loud, you give me quiet."

"Really?"

"Absolutely. I can be myself around you and everything is quiet, it has been quite a while since things in my head were quiet. I've never been happier."

"I really did want more time to think about things. But I don't know how I can say no after all of this."

"Then don't say no."

"Ok." Zoey said smiling.

"Yea?" Kevin asked making sure.

"Yea."

Kevin was so excited that he picked her up and spun her around. He then slowly put her down and they looked deep into each other's eyes.

"I'm going to kiss you now." He told her.

They were so close to each other that their noses were touching. Short breaths came from Zoey. She felt herself getting excited. He wrapped his arms around her waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck, and they pulled each other's bodies toward one another. There was nothing left for them to do but kiss. Zoey looked into his piercing blue eyes, and she knew they would find a way to make this work. Their lips finally touched, and she felt the same thing she felt the first time they kissed. Tingling sensation and goosebumps all over her body and she knew she didn't want this feeling to stop. Zoey broke the kiss and pushed him backwards onto the couch. She straddled him and they kept on kissing. Her hands on his neck and his hands on her hips, she slowly started grinding on him, making his member harder by the seconds. They kept on making out until his cock was rock hard. Zoey felt it beneath her and started getting turned on. As they paused to undress, Zoey couldn't help but stare at his gills.

"This isn't going to be weird for you, is it?" He asked her.

"I guess we will find out."

Zoey laid down on the couch while Kevin leaned down on top of her. He started kissing her neck and slowly moved south. First, he licked each of her nipples, making them rock hard. Next, he licked a trail down to her stomach and started giving kisses all over her. Finally, he made his way to her clit and started flicking it with his tongue. That drove her wild and she arched her back. He slowly stopped and sat up. Zoey was aware of this and wondered if he was ok.

"Kevin, what's wrong?"

"I don't know. I mean I've had sex with women since the assault but something about this time is different." He was still. "I don't know I feel like I am doing the same thing to you."

"You're not, because I want this."

"But I feel like I am, and I don't ever want someone to feel like I am assaulting them."

"Kevin, look at me." Zoey told him. "What do you hear?"

"Nothing."

"That's what's different. This is the first real relationship you have been in that has love and understanding in it."

Kevin was silent and she knew he was thinking of something.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I need for you to know that I am all in."

"I do, Kevin. I know."

"No, you don't understand. I need you to do something that I am uncomfortable with."

Zoey knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Kevin, I don't want to do anything that makes you uncomfortable."

"Please Zoey, I NEED you to do this, or I feel like we won't be able to have a physical relationship." He told her with tears in his eyes.

"What were you thinking?" She asked fully knowing what he was asking.

"I need you to touch my gills."

"Kevin."

"Please, we are both naked so right now is a good time." He said with a chuckle.

"Only if you are absolutely sure."

"I am."

Kevin stood up waiting. Zoey slowly reached her hand towards him, and he recoiled back.

"Kevin, if you want me to do this, you need be still."

"I'm sorry. Go ahead."

Once again Zoey reached out her hand, she slowly got closer and closer, and she saw how much it pained him. Her hand touched his gills and he cringed.

"Kevin, I'm not going to hurt you. What that woman did to you was inappropriate and wrong and I'm sorry that happened, but I am nothing like her."

As Zoey talked to him while touching him, he seemed to relax a bit.

"Both hands." He told her.

She wasn't sure at first, but they looked into each other's eyes, and she could tell he was serious. She reached her other hand out to touch his other gill and something about having him in both her hands seemed to calm him down. He looked at her while she touched him and something about it, was a little bit erotic. Like they were fully giving themselves to each other.
