"Better now?" he asked.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

"Almost." She took his hands and drew them to the hem of her shirt. "You want to help me out with this part?"

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

"I can, if you wish," he said, and worked the wet shirt over her head.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

His literalness was being staunchly ignored. Once the shirt was gone, she tilted her head slightly, giving him a slightly coy look. Athena didn't know a whole lot about seduction, but she'd been picking up a few things from her half-sisters. And she was an excellent student. "Anything else you think should go?"

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow.
"Anything you don't feel comfortable wearing. I'm afraid all my clothes are in pieces right now." He indicated a pile of wet rags near the edge of the pool.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

She let out a sigh and shook her head, putting her arms around him again. "Triton, do you want me naked right now, or not? And I mean for reasons aside from my comfort."

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

For a while, he didn't say anything.
"Athena... you should probably know that the anatomy of this form is markedly different than the version with legs," he told her, "And in more ways than the obvious."

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

She pressed herself against him more firmly. "I'm adaptable. Now answer my question."

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

"Well, I've never understood the appeal of clothes in the water," he murmured, and kissed her, his hands sliding up her back to undo the clasp.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

She kissed him back quite happily, moving her arms once the clasp was undo so the bra could be removed.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

He carefully peeled off the rest of her clothes, and nodded approvingly.
"Much better for the water."

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

"Agreed." She trailed a hand down his body, until her fingers were lightly brushing along where his tail began. "So I believe you're supposed to be showing me something new."

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

He shivered faintly at the caress.
"I don't think you've seen the gills before," he said, turning his head enough that she'd be able to see the delicate slits along his neck.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

"No, I haven't." She used her other hand to gently touch the slits.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Despite him breathing the air normally, the little flaps of skin fluttered softly with every breath.
"Of course, they're much better noted underwater," he said, slipping back down under the surface.

There the gills went to work, moving gracefully as he breathed the water. Triton gave her a couple minutes to admire them, but then moved to kiss her. At least, in part. He soon began to breathe for the both of them.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

She had to remind herself not to breathe through her nose, but she eventually found the right rhythm of kissing and breathing with him.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

After a few minutes, he brought her back to the surface. Just because he could breathe chlorinated water didn't mean he particularly enjoyed doing so.
"Of course, the tail is probably the most obvious," he remarked.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

"I did notice it earlier," she said with a smile. And again her hand drifted down to explore the tail, fingers caressing the beautiful scales, going with the grain.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

His tail rippled with muscular strength, though the shimmering scales were perfectly smooth, almost silken to the touch. Triton did gasp slightly as she brushed over some of its more sensitive areas, not the least being the few seemingly loose scales that covered his inguinal slit.

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

She watched his reactions, and though she knew he'd likely tell her so, she couldn't help but ask when he gasped at her touches. "I'm not hurting you, am I?"

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

He shook his head.
"No, it doesn't hurt. But it's not just a solid mass of muscle. There are other... structures in there, and some spots are more sensitive than others."

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

"Like here?" She drew her fingers across that spot that had made him gasp before, the one with the scales that felt somehow looser.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

A shiver rippled through his body at the touch.
"Yes, that's one of them," he said. "My inguinal pouch is under there."

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

"And that's for?" She repeated the gesture seeing his involuntary shiver.

"Penises aren't particularly hydrodynamic, especially when their only use for a merman is for mating," he quipped.
