Randy (Tales of the Merman Book 2) Read online

  "Hurt?" Tevon eased the pressure of his hands.

  "No, feels good."

  Tevon reached for more oil and dripped some along Randy's back. "Tell me if you've had enough."

  "You could do this all afternoon." Randy smiled.

  Tevon's hands worked up Randy's back as he stretched over the bed, trying to work his shoulder, but the stone bed was high enough that it was hard to reach the far side.

  "Get on the bed. You can reach easier." Randy shifted over to make room for Tevon to climb up.

  "You sure?"

  "Yes. If it keeps you massaging, I'll do anything."

  Tevon laughed as he moved up on the bed and lifted his robe over his hips. He swung a leg over and straddled Randy. "I think I would be asleep by now if you were doing this to me."

  Randy didn't like hearing that. There was no way he could sleep as long as Tevon's hands were on him. He didn't like learning that Tevon could relax enough in this position to sleep. Once again, he realized how different life would be if he didn't gain use of his cock back. Things that once would have turned into a sexual adventure were now simple and mundane. Why should Tevon feel any arousal when he knew that it wouldn't be returned?

  Tevon bent forward, working his hands along Randy's shoulder, pushing deep into the muscles. Randy groaned inwardly, feeling Tevon's limp cock press against the top of his leg. He tried to concentrate on his touch, but as Tevon slid even further forward and his cock rested right against the crack of Randy's ass, it was impossible to think about anything else.

  He buried his face in the pillow as he fought to keep from lifting his hips and pushing back against Tevon. His own cock showed no response, but his pulse and mind pushed his arousal even higher. There was no way he was going to survive this massage.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  Tevon took a deep breath as his cock hardened. He should move. Finish this massage and go. Get away from Randy before he embarrassed himself, but he couldn't seem to pull his hands away from the strong man beneath him.

  Randy shifted below him, causing Tevon's cock to slide directly against the crack of Randy's ass. Tevon bit his lip and lifted up slightly, but this only caused his growing cock to angle down and the head to press firmly against Randy.

  Randy groaned and pushed back.

  "I'm sorry." Tevon started to move back.

  "No, please. Stay there." Randy again shifted his hips up and pressed against the thick head, causing it to slide between the cheeks of his ass.

  "Randy, I can't." Tevon's voice shook as he spoke.

  "Why not? I can feel you hard." Randy pushed back even more, settling his hole right against the tip of Tevon's cock.

  Tevon closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as his cock thickened. "You're injured. This isn't good for your hips."

  "Please. I won't move. I just need to feel you inside me. I want this. Want you."

  "As your doctor —"

  "You're not my doctor now. Not here. Not like this." Randy turned his head to stare up at Tevon's worried eyes. "We both want this."

  Tevon took a deep breath. "If anything happens…"

  Randy reached back and caressed one hand down Tevon's thigh. "You do the work. I want this. Please."

  So did he. In the worst way. He glanced down and watched his cock encased between Randy's cheeks. "This isn't right. I'm your doctor."

  "It feels right." Randy pushed back even more, parting his ass slightly.

  "Randy…" Tevon tried to find the strength inside him to pull away, but it wasn't there. He wanted this. Giving in to his desires, no matter how wrong they might be, he reached for the oil and popped the cap open. He dripped several drops around his cock and over the crack of Randy's ass. "You sure?" He prayed Randy wouldn't change his mind.

  "Yes." He pushed back harder.

  Tevon used his hand to smear the oil up his shaft and then pushed forward. "Oh…" Randy's body stretched around him and he savored the feel of his tightness. It had been a while since he'd had sex, and with his growing feelings toward Randy, this was different, good different. "You okay?" Tevon caressed his hands over Randy's hips as he sank in deep.

  "You feel great."

  "Think that is what I should be saying to you." Tevon started to move. His thrusts were slow and easy, which wasn't how he usually liked it, but he was worried about Randy's hips and injuries. He would never forgive himself if he caused any more damage.

  As if sensing his hesitation, Randy said, "I won't break."

  "You might."

  "You'll fix me up again." Randy started to move with him.

  Tevon's hands tightened against Randy's hips and he started to plunge in harder and deeper than before.

  Randy's hands pressed hard on the bed as he tried to keep from being pushed forward as Tevon speared into him. His balls bounced against Randy, increasing the pleasure that swarmed his body. He noticed that Randy now had his hand under him so he could cup his own flaccid cock, and Tevon said a prayer that this would be enough to stimulate Randy and get him hard.

  Tevon gasped for air as he continued with even strokes in and out of Randy's ass. He gripped Randy's hips, careful not to hurt him as he watched his cock disappear into the man as he spread around him. "I'm not going to last." Tevon panted.

  "Don't pull out. Come inside me."

  Tevon groaned, the thought of filling Randy with his seed pushing him over the edge. A second later, his grip tightened even more, and he slammed one final time into Randy and stilled. Randy clenched around him as hot cum shot deep inside him and small grunts of pleasure escaped from Tevon.

  For several moments, neither moved. Tevon took several deep breaths as his release faded. He'd never come so hard in his life. His high slowly eased as he realized that once again Randy hadn't found any satisfaction. He rested his head against Randy's back as he caught his breath. He ran his fingers over his skin as if the soft touch would somehow make up for not coming. It was foolish. Nothing could make this right. Tevon was selfish for taking what he did and leaving Randy to suffer. When he started to pull out, Randy went back with him as if he was trying to keep him inside. Tevon laughed. "Easy."

  Randy rolled to his side once Tevon moved from the bed. He stared up at Tevon and smiled. "That was good."

  Tevon reached for his robe, wiped his cock off, and then wiped the soft fabric over Randy's ass to clean him off. "It was great, but you still didn't find any pleasure in it."

  Randy cupped his cock in his hand and shook his head. "I found a lot of pleasure in that, even if it doesn't look like I did."

  Tevon folded his robe and set it aside. "It's time for me to call the urologist. We need to see if he can help you."

  Randy sighed and rested his head on the pillow. "If you think it's what we need to do, I'm willing to give it a try. But I can't help feeling like I should just accept that I will never be the same again."

  Tevon sat down on the bed beside him, caressing his hand over Randy's hip. "Don't give up. Maybe I'm just not the right stimulation for you or maybe you haven't healed enough. We can't give up."

  Randy closed his eyes. "When will I be strong enough to swim inland?"

  "If we go slow, probably a week. I would want several others to go with us so if you tire or something happens, they will be able to get you to shore."

  "You'll stay with me for everything, right?"

  Tevon didn't try to hide his shock. "You want me there?"

  "Of course. You were the one to operate, you know my case." Randy adjusted his pillow and rolled onto his back.

  Tevon frowned. Of course Randy would want him there for medical reasons. He was stupid to hope Randy would want him there for personal reasons. Even after what they just shared, it was clear Randy didn't feel anything toward him. It was just sex. Probably another attempt to try to get his penis to work. "I can be there with you."

  "Thanks, Doc." Randy reached down and cupped his balls. "If it doesn't work, then I guess that's it. No other options."

  "
Don't start thinking that way until we talk to him. He has training I don’t, not to mention equipment."

  Randy glanced up. "If you had the equipment could you have repaired it better?"

  Tevon rubbed his hand over his chin. "Yeah, it might have made a difference. I did the best with what I had."

  "I don't blame you, Doc. I don't want you to think that. I know you did what you could." Randy placed his hand on Tevon's arm. "But we will get you the stuff you need so you don't have to worry about it again."

  Tevon nodded and stood. "Well, I should let you get some rest. You okay? We didn't hurt anything, did we?"

  A smile formed on Randy's face. "No. I enjoyed it. I know that sounds crazy, but I did. It's hard to explain how I can be so aroused and find such pleasure without my cock working. I mean it would be a hell of a lot better if I could come, but what we did was pretty awesome."

  Tevon blushed and lowered his head, afraid that Randy might read the emotions on his face. "Yeah, it was. But I still shouldn't have risked injuring you."

  "We both wanted it." Randy gave his arm a squeeze before letting his hand drop.

  There was no point in denying it. His body had made it clear he wanted Randy. It was more than his body that wanted him. The more time they spent together, the harder it was to think that soon Randy would go back to his normal life and forget all about him. "Still, it wasn't right."

  Randy sighed. "Right or wrong, I'm glad we did it."

  "How can you be when you find no pleasure from it?"

  "I found a lot of pleasure in it. I've found pleasure in everything you and I have done."

  "But it still hasn't done what it was supposed to. You still can't get hard."

  Randy sat up, reaching for Tevon's arm once more. "You think the only reason we've done everything is to see if I can get hard?"

  "Well, sure. Why else would we?"

  Randy shook his head and dropped back down onto the pillow. "Right, why else would we?" He pressed his arm to his forehead. "I'm a little tired. Think I'm going to rest. Contact that doctor for me, will you? As soon as you say it's safe to go, we can swim inland."

  Tevon frowned at the change in Randy's behavior. "You're not in pain, are you?"

  "No. Just tired. I'm fine."

  "Alright, I'll drop by tomorrow and check on you. I'll have Melan contact the urologist for me and get us an appointment." Tevon gripped his folded robe tight to his chest.

  "Thanks. I'll talk to you tomorrow then." Randy rolled to his side and pulled his pillow lower.

  Tevon nodded before turning and leaving the chamber. Tense and confused, he made his way back to his own chamber. He tossed his dirty robe aside and sat down on his bed, thinking about what happened between Randy and him. It was the most intense sex he could remember, but also the strangest. Unlike in the pool the other day, this time it was just sex, no kissing or anything to make him think that there were any emotions on Randy's side. But then, why should there be? Why would he want someone who never left the caves, never risked an adventure, and whose career tied him down to always being in one place. He would want someone who could go out with him. Someone who was active and able to explore like Randy did.

  Lying down on his bed, he closed his eyes and accepted the fact that while his own feelings for Randy were growing, Randy didn't seem to return them. Hell, he still called him Doc. half the time instead of his name. After what the two of them did together, it would seem like they should be on a first name basis.

  Tevon sighed. This was why he didn't date. Why, as a rule, he never let his emotions get involved when dealing with a patient. Nothing good could come of it. As much as he hated the thought of leaving the caves, he looked forward to setting up an inland clinic. At least that would give him something to keep his mind on, and distract him from the mess he'd gotten himself into with Randy.

  Ignoring the fact that he had work to do in the clinic, he pulled his pillow to his chest and let sleep take him. At least when he was asleep, he wasn't feeling anything.

  CHAPTER FOURTEEN

  "You sure you don't need me to stick around?" Barron glanced up at his brothers as they all crowded inside Heath's office.

  "No. You can see for yourself that Randy is doing fine. There's no point to you sticking around. You've already put off your trip for a couple weeks." Heath tossed a stack of folders to the corner of his desk.

  Randy shifted on the stool he sat on, resting most his weight on his uninjured hip. "Heath is right. You can't use me as an excuse anymore. I won't bitch if you stick around, though. It's been nice seeing you for a change."

  Sage smiled as he tied his long hair back. "Don't stay away so long this time, okay?"

  "I won't. I didn't plan on it last time. One thing just led to another. One story tied to another." Barron shrugged.

  Randy gripped his cane and stood. "The stories will always be there, we may not." He stepped towards his brother and reached out to pull him into a hug. "Thanks for staying while I healed."

  Barron gripped Randy's shoulders, his eyes filling with compassion. "I couldn't leave with any one of you injured." He looked around the room at all four brothers. "I promise you guys I won't be gone long. I'll try to get back every few months."

  Everest jabbed Barron in the leg with his fist. "You don't and we will send men after you. Heath is king now. He can force you back."

  "Shit, guys. I will be back. I swear it. You won't have to send anyone after me. Just make sure that you keep safe. No more shark attacks."

  Heath shook his head. "Another incident like that and I'm going to ban any of you from swimming outside the caves."

  Sage tossed a piece of paper at Heath. "We took down one king. Don't think we won't do it again."

  All five brothers laughed. It was nearly a year since they had forced their father from the throne after he threatened the safety of the clan, but Randy couldn't imagine ever really having to force Heath out. In just a year, he had done more for the mermen than any other he'd heard of. The clans grew and prospered under Heath's guidance.

  "I'm headed to China. I'll send word when I get there." Barron turned to hug each of his brothers one at a time. "Don't worry if it takes a bit. I'm planning on spending a few days in places along the way."

  "Stay safe." Randy swallowed back the emotion that snuck up on him as he hugged Barron. He hated how emotional he was since the accident, but coming so close to dying, he found having his family close more important than ever.

  "I should be saying that to you." Barron gently kicked Randy's cane. "I hear of you doing anything stupid like that again, I'll come back to kill you myself."

  "He won't." Everest slapped Randy on the back. "He's going to come work the coral shop with me. Keep him out of the water."

  Randy glared at Everest. "Not only would I go nuts being on land all the damn time, being around your sorry ass would push me over the edge. I'd be begging the sharks to take me."

  The brothers joked around for a bit more, laughing and teasing each other. As Randy watched his brothers, he wished they could be together all the time. Now that he was healed, at least for the most part, Everest and Sage would return inland, only coming to the caves a few times a month to check in and visit. Barron would be half a world away, and that would leave him and Heath. He sighed, hating how life kept them all apart.

  "Okay, guys, I've got to go." Barron gave everyone a final hug. He stopped at Randy and grasped his shoulder. "You need anything, you let me know, okay? I'll come back right away."

  Randy smiled. "I will. I'm going to be fine. Doc says less than a week and I can start swimming more. Might even head inland and drag Sage and Gary out for dinner."

  "Just sayin'." Barron pulled him into a hug and pulled back. "See you guys in a few months." He turned and left the room.

  The brothers stared at each other silently for a long moment before Sage broke the silence. "Guess I should be getting back, too. I have a dig to plan."

  "I'll swim back with you." Everest st
epped forward.

  "You guys be safe." Heath sat back down at his desk as Sage and Everest left. He glanced over at Randy and sighed. "I miss us all living here."

  "As do I." Randy slowly went back to his stool. "Things are changing quickly. For the better, but still hard to get used to the changes."

  "You disagree with them?" Heath folded his hands under his chin.

  "No. I think you've done right by the clan. All the changes you've made have been in favor of the people. The men are happier. I'm just saying it's different."

  Heath nodded. "I hope I'm making the right choices. My biggest worry is that by living inland, our people will forget the ways here. They will become so accustomed to having the luxury that comes with living on land, they will forget how to survive in the water if they must."

  "I'll make sure the new members are trained correctly and know our ways before they are released. What worries me is they will wish to work inland and not in the water for us." Randy moved uncomfortably.

  Heath shook his head. "There will always be those who want to work in the water. It's in our nature. I'm not worried about that."

  A knock pulled Randy's attention away from Heath. He smiled as Tevon glanced inside. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I came to speak with Randy for a moment if I'm not interrupting."

  "Please come in." Heath stood. "I'll leave you both to talk."

  Randy held up his hand. "No wait, Heath. If this is about what I think it is, I want you to hear. It's time I let you know what is going on."

  Heath frowned and sat back down. "What do you mean?"

  Randy smiled at Tevon even as his stomach knotted. It was time to let Heath know, and now that his other brothers were away, it was the perfect time. He didn't want the others to worry, but he did need to have Heath's support if he was going to be making the trek inland soon. "Have a seat, Doc. You can help me explain my condition to Heath."

  Tevon took a seat in front of Heath's desk. "You guess right. I have news. I contacted the doctor inland and he can see you next week."
