His Attraction

"Jas... Okay," Leo replied hesitantly.

He looked down at the ground feeling awkward over how close they were standing together.

"So... What are you still doing here anyway?" He finally spoke breaking the silence.

"Well..." Jas began, looking ahead to see what lay beyond them. "I..." He smiled a minute later when no coherent words could be formed.

"You never meant to leave, did you?" Leonard stated as a matter of factly. All these while he kept on playing right into his hands one way or another.

"No," Jas admitted with a soft smile forming across his lips.

"Then why did you come out of nowhere like this?"

"Because I wanted to meet someone who saved my life?"

"And just because I saved you doesn't mean we're friends."

'You mean kiss,' Jas corrected in his mind but in reality, he wore a calm smile.

"We aren't."

"Good." Leonard nodded firmly and started walking back towards his horse.

"Wait! Where do you think you're going?" Jas called out behind him.

"Back home or anywhere far from here, you and the world at large." He threw his hands up for emphasis.

"But I haven't told you anything yet."

"Nothing important."

"Oh really? Then let me ask you something else."

Leonard paused and turned around slowly, glaring at the merman whose face had now taken an expression which seemed almost sad.

"What is it?" He asked cautiously, his eyes dimming in the sun.

"Why didn't you kiss me again?"

Leonard's mouth dropped open in shock at the question he heard from the man's lips.

"Seriously?!"

"Yes seriously!"

"I told you I was doing it to save..."

"That wasn't for saving your life though, that was what you tell yourself," Jas corrected and folded his arms.

Leonard's expression fell. He was seriously tired of this conversation.

"You know what, go screw yourself."

"I would have but I would need the help from a handsome stranger."

Unbelievable! Leo was done. Jas was sick in the head that's for sure.

"Why am I still here talking to you? For all you care you are having fun taunting me "

"And? Is it working? Are you falling for me?"

Leo pressed his lips together. He wanted to speak further but brushed it off. It was useless anyway.

It was one thing to be used or have to danced in the hands of the king because he was king but to do so with another person... Nah! That was too much.

He was a man of himself. Ladies swoon for him and he wasn't affected my h but why was it that every word coming out of Jasper's mouth left him wanting and...

"So then why not try kissing me again?" The merman repeated himself stubbornly and stepped into Leo's line of sight, breaking the latter from his train of thoughts.

"I'm sure it would make you fall long enough to submit to me," he winked.

Leo scoffed at him. "You wish. I do not submit to anyone."

The knight stared up at the creature before him, trying to figure out what exactly he should say next.

It felt like there were more questions than answers between them but none came forth.

"You know..." Jas said after a moment of silence. "Maybe I'm wrong." He took another step forward until their faces were only inches apart.

Leo swallowed hard and tried to keep his eyes locked onto those blue and emerald ones staring straight back at him.

His heart pounded loudly inside his chest as all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind; some good, others bad.

He couldn't help but notice how much taller the merman stood compared to him even without his tail.

Tsk, domineering and handsome and sexy. That's definitely one thing Leo could not deny about him. But still...

Jas leaned closer as if waiting for him to make the first move. His breath tickled against Leo's cheek when he spoke once more.

"If you don't want me to leave right away, maybe you could give me one last kiss?"

"Says who I–I... don't want you to l–leave?" Leo stuttered, unable to peel his eyes away from Jasper's intense stare.

"Well you did save my life so I thought we might be friends by now." Jasper smiled sweetly. "Or is it just that your pride won't let you admit you're attracted to me?" He asked with a raised brow.

Leo didn't answer immediately but instead looked down at Jasper's hand which rested on his shoulder. It was warm and soft and made him feel safe.

He had never been this close to a merman before and he found himself wondering what it would be like to touch him.

To hold him in his arms and see what it would be like to kiss him again and this time for real and not to save him.

But then, what if this was all a ruse by Jasper for fun? He pulled one over him before, who wouldn't say he was gonna do same again?

Leo shook his lustful thoughts away and tried to back away when Jasper's hand wrapped around his waist, coming to rest on his ass cheek.

His cheeks flushed instantly. Never had he had some hold him that way before, much less a beautifully well sculptured divine piece of art in form of a male with something between his legs to make one die for.

Again, what was with him and his engorged meat down there? He wasn't erect yet he already looked 6 inches. What then would happen when he had a hard on?

Leo internally face palmed himself but when his eyes swept back to Jas he was shocked by the intense lustful gaze in the latter's eyes.

"J–Jas..." Leo stuttered when he saw their lips were almost touching.

The tip of his tongue darted out as if testing the waters but stopped short as soon as they touched Leo's bottom lip.

Leo swallowed and questioned quickly, "W-What are you doing?"

"Kissing you," Jasper replied simply.

"No! You can't!" Leo protested but the merman pressed his mouth against Leo's anyway.

The knight felt Jasper's tongue slip into his mouth as they both moaned at each other's taste.
