Taken by the Prince

I managed to make my way to the shore with my newly formed legs. It felt weird trying to swim with them instead of my tail and it was tedious how long it took to swim what used to be a short distance for me. By the time I reached the shore, my legs were burning.

I dragged myself onto the sand, breathing hard. As I paused to catch my breath, I took a moment to explore my new body now that Dagon had turned me into a human. I had never seen a human woman's naked body before. I ran my hands up my legs. They were warm and so smooth and soft, unlike my tail which had always been cold and covered with rough scales. My pussy rested in between my legs. I stroked the sensitive folds before slipping a finger inside my entrance. It felt looser now, better designed to fit the larger cocks of human men. But it was hot inside.

Right above the hole was a soft little bump that was shaped like a small pebble. I frowned. I had never seen anything like it before. I definitely never had one of those as a mermaid. I reached out to touch it. A thrill of pleasure ran through it with the briefest of touches. I gasped lightly. It felt so good. The pleasure was more intense than anything I had ever experienced before. I touched it again, slowly teasing it with my index finger as the pleasure radiated through me. My pussy soon became slick with arousal. I shut my eyes, losing myself to the pleasure. I stroked myself faster, unable to stop. It was like my hands had a mind of their own.

Then the pleasure burst inside me and radiated through my entire body. I let out a shuddering gasp as I came. Closing my eyes, I leaned back against the sand, recovering from the orgasm.

Then I heard a furious voice. "How dare you?"

Immediately I tensed and sat up to look at a scowling man dressed head to toe in metal that reflected the sun, hurting my eyes. It's okay, Murial. You're human now. He won't hurt you. "G-good morning, sir," I said hesitantly. At least I thought it was morning.

This only seemed to anger him further. "Good morning? That's all you have to say while you display yourself in this manner?"

I looked down at my naked body. I knew humans wore clothes, but that didn't mean bare skin offended them. Right?

The man strode forward. "If you're going to act like a common whore, then you must answer for your crimes."

I struggled to my feet and tried to step back, but my legs collapsed under me. Walking was so hard. "No, please don't hurt me."

He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. "It's not up to me about what happens to you. That's up to Prince Daniel."

Daniel. He was taking me to Daniel. I felt weak with relief. "Yes. Yes, of course! Take me to him. Please."

He looked at me suspiciously but he dragged me off the beach. I barely had the chance to look at the water one last time before he pulled me deeper and deeper onto land. Nerves fluttered in my stomach from being so far from the water. But it was okay. The ocean wasn't my home anymore. I just had to get used to that.

Beyond the beach was a bustling human city, full of humans going about their daily lives. A lot of them stopped to stare at me and the man dragging me through the streets. Expressions of shock and outrage flickered across their faces. I realized all of them were wearing clothes.

Maybe the sight of a naked body really did offend them. How odd.

In the center of the city was a huge castle that towered above all the other buildings. A huge iron barricade surrounded the entire castle but the gates were open and people were entering and leaving the castle, going about their business. The sight was strangely comforting because it reminded me of home.

My legs and feet were screaming at me as we walked up the castle steps. I stumbled and fell onto the cold, rough stone.

My escort picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "There's no use trying to run from your fate, whore."

His metal armor dug into my skin, making me wince.

Inside the castle, I could barely see anything except for the intricate carpet covering the floor. The man carried me into a room and the door closed behind us, cutting out the noise from the rest of the castle. The silence was deafening.

I was dumped unceremoniously on the ground. "Your Highness," said the man. "I found this woman on the beach, acting like a harlot."

"Thank you, Sir James. That will be all."

My heart leapt when I heard Daniel's voice. It sounded exactly like I remembered.

Sir James left, leaving me alone with Daniel. Carefully, I rose to my feet and pushed my hair out of my face. Daniel's expressions changed from one of curiosity to confusion. "Muriel?" He whispered.

I nodded. "It's good to see you again." I couldn't stop grinning. I was finally with my prince.

"How are you human? I thought I'd never see you again." He stood up from his throne and strode over to me, stopping mere inches away. I longed to reach out and touch him but I was scared he would pull away from me if I tried.

"I made a deal," I said. "I found a merman with magic. He turned me human."

"Magic?" His brow furrowed. "You knew someone with magic?" He sounded horrified as if I told him I fraternized with murderers.

"Is that bad?"

"Magic is dangerous and forbidden in the human world. Forgive me. I was surprised such practices are acceptable among merfolk.":

It was a good thing I hadn't told him Dagon was an outcast. The human world was so strange. I had a lot to learn about it.

"So, you're human now? Permanently?"

I nodded. "I'm yours."

He grinned and pulled me into his arms as his lips came crashing down on mine. "You're all mine," he whispered.

He kissed my forehead as he held me. I buried my face in his chest. Finally, everything felt right.

Daniel pulled away from me. "I have to resume my duties, but I'll see you again tonight. I'll have a maid bring you to my room. She'll also get you some clothes to wear."

"Can't I stay with you?" I asked. "I'm finally with you. I don't want to leave."

"I'm sorry, my love, but you can't. Especially in that state." He chuckled as he looked down at my naked body. "From now on, I'm the only one who gets to see you like this."

"Humans care about the strangest things."

He smiled. "Perhaps we do, little mermaid."

Daniel summoned a maid and ordered her to find a dress for me. She returned with a bright blue dress made of something Dnaiel called "cotton".

"Tomorrow, we shall order you something more befitting your station," he said as the maid helped me into the dress. The fabric felt odd but not completely unpleasant.

"What is my station?" I asked.

He smiled. "You're my lover, of course. A lovely temptress who pulled me under her spell."

I blushed a little at his words while feeling incredibly happy. I loved knowing I had such an effect on him.

After I was "decent", the maid escorted me out of the throne room. My heart ached leaving Daniel, but I knew he had business to tend to.

The maid led me in silence through the winding halls. Even though I was now clothed, I still got a lot of stares from passerby. I guess news of how I arrived had spread quickly through the palace.

The maid stopped in front of Daniel's room and opened the door for me. "Will that be all, my lady?" She gave me a stony look, as if daring me to request anything.

"That's all. Thank you." I gave her a smile but she did not return it.

After the maid left, I took off my clothes, feeling relief at being naked again. Surely it was okay for me to be naked when I was alone. Not even humans could worry about what people did in their own bedrooms, right? Or the bedroom of their lovers.

Daniel's bedroom was huge and richly furnished with a couch next to a roaring fireplace and a bookshelf and writing desk in the corner. In the center of the room was a huge bed covered in a silk bedspread. It was beautiful. I immediately lied down on it, feeling relief as I rested my aching feet.

I stared up at the ceiling, trying to process everything. Only a few short hours ago, I was a mermaid and now I was human and with Daniel. My prince. My lover. I smiled and closed my eyes as I thought about him.

I must have drifted off to sleep because the next thing I knew, I was being woken up by a hand on my thigh. I spread my legs on instinct as my eyes fluttered open. Daniel was sitting next to me on the bed, gazing down at me with a soft smile on his face. "You're so beautiful," he whispered.

I smiled up at him even though I felt nerves flutter in my stomach. "I'm scared I'll disappoint you."

He raised an eyebrow. "Why on Earth would you disappoint me?"

"Because I'm not used to this body," I said. "I'm not used to the human world. What if I can't please you or what if I embarrass you?"

His hand traveled up my thigh, his fingers caressing my soft skin. "I don't care what anyone else thinks," he said. "Nothing matters as long as I have you." he leaned down to kiss me. His lips were hot and possessive. His tongue licked my lower lip, demanding entry. I opened my mouth for him and let him explore my mouth with his tongue. His fingers ran over my slit before entering me. I was slick with need so his finger entered easily. He thrust in and out before adding a second one. I whimpered as he stretched me out with his two fingers. I remembered the size of his cock. How was I supposed to take his cock when two fingers stretched me out so much?

"Just relax, my little mermaid," Daniel said as he unbuttoned his pants and pulled out his hard cock. "I promise there's nothing you could do to disappoint me."

He got on top of me, trailing kisses down the side of my neck. I gasped and shuddered. His cock prodded my entrance which made me buck my hips in surprise. I had never taken it from the front before. With mermaids, the entrance was in the back. This felt so different to me. It felt completely new.

But with Daniel kissing me and playing with my breasts, the pleasure drowned out the strangeness. His cock prodded at my entrance again, this time harder, and my pussy relaxed and stretched around it as he entered. I gasped. He filled me up perfectly, but it didn't hurt. It felt absolutely amazing.

Daniel groaned. "You're perfect, Muriel," he said. "Everything about you is perfect." He thrust into me faster and faster. Finally, he let out a groan and pulled out of me only to spill his seed on my stomach.

I expected it to burn, but instead, it just felt warm.

Daniel disappeared for a second, only to return with a soft, white cloth. He cleaned off his seed. I closed my eyes, thinking we were done now that he had finished. But I felt him kneel between my legs. He gently spread my legs wider, opening up my pussy to him. "Again?" I asked in surprise.

He grinned. "Did you really think I would leave you unsatisfied after the pleasure you gave me?" Before I could respond, he leaned down between my legs.

I felt his warm breath against my sensitive skin for mere moments before his tongue touched my little bud.

I cried out as a jolt of pleasure ran through me. I started to squirm and shudder. As his tongue teased me, his fingers entered me again. His two fingers thrust in and out of me as his tongue tormented me, flicking the little ball of nerves over and over. The pleasure built up inside me until I couldn't take it anymore and went tumbling over the edge. I shuddered and gasped as I came.

Daniel groaned and slowly pulled away from me. He wiped his mouth with a grin as he watched my body tremble from the pleasure. "You enjoyed that, didn't you?"

I couldn't form the words to speak, so instead I just nodded. He chuckled and lied down beside me and pulled me into his arms. I cuddled up against him, smiling. I wanted to just relax and enjoy the moment, but something was bothering me. "Daniel?"

"Mm?" He opened his eyes and gave me a sleepy smile."

"Why did you finish outside of me? Don't you prefer to finish inside? The first time we did it, you came inside."

He stroked my hair tenderly. "I do prefer to finish inside. But I can't risk getting you pregnant, can I? I assumed it would be impossible when you were a mermaid. But now that you're human, I have to be careful."

I frowned. "I don't understand. Why would it matter if I get pregnant? Isn't it expected for married couples to have children?"

He jerked away as if I burned him. "Married? Muriel, we can't ever marry."

"Why not?" I asked, feeling my stomach clench. "I'm human now. I turned human for you."

His jaw clenched. "I never asked you to do that," he said. "I never expected it. You have to understand that I'm a prince. When I get married, it'll be for political gain. This isn't a fairytale where I can marry for love." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "If I had the freedom to do as I pleased, I would court you properly, and you would be my bride. But I can only have you as my mistress."

I hugged my arms protectively in front of me. I remembered the disdain the maid had shown me when she took me to Daniel's room. "Mistresses don't receive a lot of respect in my kingdom," I said. "Sure, they get attention and pretty presents. But people always whisper about them. Is it the same here?"

"I'm afraid so," Daniel said. "I wish it was different, I really do. But you must know that you'll always have my respect."

I closed my eyes. Maybe that would be enough. Daniel was a good man. He would treat me kindly. Maybe it would be enough.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I understand if that's not what you want. I could take care of you or find you employment until you find a man who can treat you the way you deserve. Any man would be lucky to have you. You don't have to be trapped with me."

But I was trapped with him. If I left, then I would melt into sea foam. I thought about telling him about that. But I stayed silent. Feeling trapped was horrible. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, least of all Daniel.

I turned to him with a smile. "You're all I need," I said. "I'm happy to be your mistress, Daniel."

He smiled, relieved. He gathered me up in his arms and held me tight. "I love you, Muriel," he said. "I'll make sure you live a comfortable life. I swear it."

"I love you too, Daniel," I murmured. But dread settled in my stomach like a stone as I realized the gravity of what I have gotten myself into.
