That was exactly the problem. That Eva needed to explain to Viola why a kiss was so important. This whole time she spent dealing with feelings towards Viola and yet they were just… incompatible.

After cooling off it boiled down to this, she wanted to kiss and be kissed by Viola… and that would never happen. Not even because Viola simply wasn’t interested but because for whatever reason she had grown feelings for someone who wasn’t human enough to return them, or at least return them in a way that translated.

It was one thing for a human to turn her down but it wasn’t even as if she didn’t have a shot. It was that a shot had never been possible with Viola in the first place. She had spent this whole time playing a game of she loves me… she loves me not yet it hasn’t occurred to her that that wasn’t a thing for blackfish.

She had no idea how Viola approached romance and sex or if those concepts were even really a thing for her. Marine mammals were close enough to humans that they had sex for fun but she had no idea what the culture around such things was for Viola.

From a human point of view, Viola had certainly come onto her. But maybe Viola said she liked her because she liked her, not because of anything more insinuated.

If Eva had been rejected she would have felt disappointed but to be met with total incomprehensiveness just made her feel embarrassed… and gross. It made her feel like a creep. Viola was always naked, she had no reason to wear clothes, it wasn't remotely sexual and yet her mind had been often in the gutter. Snuggling naked wasn't particularly platonic for humans but maybe Viola really had just been trying to keep her warm and nothing else.

She felt like she had violated Viola, taken advantage of something. Shame, that was the word. She felt ashamed of her behaviour.

Viola returned shortly after and Eva didn't really know how to approach things. So she waited for Viola to make the first move.

“You eat more,” Viola said, holding up two large slices of fish toward Eva.

Eva opened her mouth to protest but abruptly shut it. She forced the two pieces down with a lot of water in between. it was not pleasant and she couldn't help but wonder if after she fed Viola frozen fish this was some sort of revenge.

“Kiss is you showing affection, yes? So why upset?” Viola finally demanded as Eva washed her hands.

Eva, even fluent in English, didn't know how to explain all the feelings inside her. “Because you didn't kiss me back,” she finally settled on.

Viola cocked her head, her brow furrowing. She reached up and took Eva’s cheeks in her hands and pressed a kiss to her forehead before pulling away with a hopeful expression. She quickly deflated when Eva was still somewhat lost. “I am not good with your words, but I am trying,” she whistled with frustration.

She took a deep breath and pursed her lips. Trying to organize her thoughts to salvage things. “Humans have sex not just to reproduce, we do it for fun, to show we care about our partners and plenty of other reasons.”

Viola’s eyes widened and a smirk flickered across her face. “And this kissing… it's part of human sex?”

“Uh… well yes, but-” Eva stuttered, whatever wind she had briefly left her sails.

“And because I did not follow your ritual you think I rejected you as a… mate and you were sad,” she continued.

“Well kinda… yes,” Eva groaned, her face warming.

“Eva! How am I to know these human things?” Viola huffed with exasperation.

“Why you not just ask?”

“B-because I-I don’t know how you feel.”

“That is point of asking, Eva,” Viola replied, her annoyance giving away to amusement.

“I… humans don’t do things like that.”

“Humans are stupid. You make everything so much complicated.”

Eva felt thoroughly scolded, and embarrassed, which was becoming quite common around Viola, and a little aroused, also quite common around Viola. God, she was a mess.

Viola’s expression grew more serious. “Do not… hide like that, please. It hurts,” she said, placing a hand over her chest. “I do not… like it.”

Eva nodded and took Viola’s hand in hers. “Ok, I won’t. I thought I had made you uncomfortable and just panicked. I’m sorry. I was just… overthinking.”

“I forgive you,” Viola said, kissing the back of Eva’s hand. “Next time we talk first.”

“I'll try, but I’m only human.”

Viola chuckled, “my favourite human.”

“I am terribly sorry though, is there some way I can make it up to you?” Eva asked with faux innocence as she ran her other hand down Viola’s chest and over the slit where her nipple hid.

“Is this a human ritual to initiate sex or is there another reason you are talking weird?”

“I…”

“I have never fucked a human before… Should I pretend to still be mad at you for the ritual?” Viola asked with a cock of her head.

Eva laughed and let her head fall against Viola’s shoulder. Viola was so fucking cute and yet her direct words had sent a jolt of heat through her. She really liked the way the mermaid said fucked. “No, but I do want you to kiss me.”

“That can be done,” Viola grinned, her large tongue wetting her lips.

Oh, the things a tongue like that could do.

Viola pressed her lips to Eva’s, a chaste kiss but it certainly had the intended effect. She tasted like salt with a hint of fish that surprisingly Eva didn't mind. With anyone else it would have been a major turn-off but somehow it worked with Viola. So caught up in the heat of their mouths together that she was unaware before Viola picked her up and flipped her onto her back, her legs dangling down into the water.

“Aren't I supposed to be making things up to you?” Eva asked, her breathing heavy as Viola’s kisses continued down along her neck.

“Later, I want to explore you,” Viola murmured.

Eva’s pussy clenched, her arms coming up around Viola’s back as she surrendered to the intoxicating haze. She could make it up to Viola after her exploration. Heat pooled inside her as lips trailed down her collarbone to her chest. Viola was taking her sweet time and Eva was desperate for more.

“Please,” she gasped. Viola complied, gently sucking on a nipple as she continued to descend. Viola’s warm hands replaced her mouth, kneading her breasts. She watched Viola with reverence, Viola practically pinning her to the ground, her body so much larger. Viola smiled and ran her long tongue over her stomach. Eva shuttered, shifting her hips for some relief.

“You are very sensitive,” Viola purred, pulling away and leaving Eva a dripping mess. She could feel the slickness of her thighs, her pulse pounding as her head spun. Viola was way too good at this.

It took her a second to register the splash as Viola slunk into the water. Hands gripped at her hips pulling her to the edge as Viola looked up at her with undisguised heat. “We are not so different here,” she smiled gently tugging Eva’s thighs apart.

Eva was too horny to feel embarrassed as Viola saw every part of her. Viola’s tongue ran over her thigh, slick, wet and warm. She arched forward, desperate for release and for Viola to stop fucking teasing her.

Except rather than continue, Viola stopped, “What do you want?”

“What?” Eva asked, too dazed to really process the question.

“What do you want?” Viola repeated.

“Jesus, I want you to fuck me already,” she groaned.

“Yes but… what do you like?”

“Viola, do anything,” she whined. “I’ll tell you if I don't like something. Please.”

“But you are fragile… I do not want to hurt you. You are small.” Viola’s genuine concern managed to bypass her libido.

“Start with your fingers, t-touch me,” Eva explained, supporting herself on her elbows. Viola ran her fingers between her thighs making her twitch. “Keep going, fuck,” she gasped when Viola found her clit. “Little faster, put a finger inside me,” she ordered, she hadn't expected how hot telling Viola what to do would be, it only added fuel to the fire inside her.

Viola’s finger pressed into her as others caressed her clit. Eva clawed at the ground, unable to stop herself from moaning. She had nothing to hold onto and she felt dizzy with pleasure. Unable to reach Viola below her.

Her pussy throbbed as Viola added another finger. Her orgasm was already building as Viola pressed inside her. Two fingers big enough to stretch her just enough to be pleasurable without any pain. Eva shuddered as Viola slowly began to fuck her, never for a moment ignoring her clit. Her pussy clenched around Viola’s fingers, unwilling to let them go as her orgasm built. Her breathing ragged, her eyes closing with bliss, unable to focus on anything else.

“Please,” Eva begged, her voice hitching as she came. Her nails dug into her palms as muscles contracted and the spring inside her uncoiled. Stars exploded behind her eyes as pleasure washed through her.

Eva opened her eyes lazily to Viola sucking on her fingers with a pleased look. “You taste delicious.”

Eva’s pussy throbbed and she swallowed hard. She could probably survive going again. “Feel free to taste as much as you want,” she said, the waver in her voice giving away just how much Viola had already ruined her.

Viola looked up at her, her mouth open, her long pink tongue licking her lips as she settled between Eva’s thighs. Slowly Viola leaned down and ran her tongue over Eva’s cunt. “Fuck,” Eva gasped, reaching down and running her hands into Viola’s hair as Viola slowly continued to lick her.

It was an entirely new feeling, Viola's tongue was different from that of any human. Bigger, smoother, wetter. VIola’s tongue began to stretch her, following her taste yet long enough to not abandon her clit. Slither had never been a sexy word but what Viola was doing with her tongue said otherwise.

Eva dug her fingers into Viola's hair, her hips begging to twitch and buck out of her control, trying to press herself further against Viola. Every lap and kiss sent shockwaves through her. Viola only took it as encouragement and her tongue went deeper. Viola’s mouth was now entirely around her pussy, her large teeth close to sensitive folds which only heightened her arousal.

Viola’s tongue flexed inside her making Eva groan. It wasn't like anything she had ever felt before, Viola’s tongue was malleable and able to fill her perfectly. Viola was just so inside her, it was beautiful. Viola clicked against her, sending vibrations into her as she worked her tongue inside her.

“Fuck Viola, more,” Eva moaned, her thighs clenching around Viola as they began to quiver. The coil of heat was reaching its breaking point and continuing to build. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, just like that,” Eva gasped, clawing at Viola, “I’m gonna come!”

Eva let her head fall back, too overwhelmed by sensation to focus on Viola as she came. Unlike before, Viola did not stop there. Her slow methodical movements only extended her orgasm as time seemed to slip into oblivion. Her body falling apart into a sweaty shaky mess. Only tapping at Viola to stop when she simply couldn't take it anymore.

She opened her eyes, adjusting to the light as she caught her breath. Viola pulled back, uncoiling her tongue from inside her. Eva's oversensitive pussy throbbing at the stimulation. Viola had broken her in the best way possible, ruined even. Her body was lethargic and unwilling to move.

“Are you ok?” Viola asked, the hint of worry evident.

“So good,” Eva mumbled.

Viola smiled and pulled herself out of the water. Something tapped against her hand and she sat up to realize Viola was handing her the water bottle. She gratefully took it, the cold water rejuvenating her as Viola lay down beside her, smacking her lips with a pleased look.

“Oh my god,” Eva laughed, turning to snuggle in against Viola. Viola stroked at her hair as Eva sunk into the warmth of her. Another hand massaged her back.

“What about you?” she mumbled.

“Later, favourite human,” Viola chuckled.

Eva’s response wasn't coherent as she fell asleep in Viola’s embrace. Thoroughly fucked and practically in a liquid state. Viola really was magic in so many ways.
