Aquata Cove Ch. 96

"W-Wait, now?" Adam asked, "But you just got here."

"It's night, and you're tired. You should take it easy." Merrick strokes Adam's cheek, "I'll see you tomorrow..." He turns to go.

Adam stammers as Merrick walks away, his hands shaking a little, before he strides behind him, "Wait, Merrick, please don't go." He pleads as he takes his hand.

"What?"

"Jamal's at work, and so is Yuri. I don't really want to be alone right now." Merrick turns around as he talks, "Can't you stay a little longer? How far do you live?"

"Heh... Not that far at all." Merrick answers, considering Savarna's Sea Spot is literally half a mile away from this house.

"So how about it? You want to hang out with me a little longer?"

"Heheheh... I'd thought you never ask." Merrick said as he let Adam take him to the couch. Instead of turning off the PS4, he logs into Netflix and goes to Doctor Who.

"Is this show ok? I'm kind of addicted to it since Mom introduced me to it. Apparently, it was one of my favorite shows." Adam says as he takes off his jacket and puts it aside.

"It's fine, I like it too..." Merrick says as they sit on the couch.

Adam lies back, while Merrick... He glances at him a little, before coming in next to him. Adam blushes as Merrick snuggles in with him, getting close to him in a very intimate way. Merrick cuddles next to him, putting his arm across Adam's stomach while his head rests on his chest. He can feel Adam's heart racing... Adam is hot in body, but he really is so damn cute when he's a little bashful from affectionate advances that he's not completely familiar with. Always was.

The show started with the science fiction music as the TARDIS zooms and spins through the Time Vortex. Adam rubbed Merrick's arm as they watched.

"I missed you this morning..." Adam muttered, "I was kind of hoping I'd walk into the kitchen to see you making breakfast again... Though Yuri came in when I got up, and she accidentally burnt the toast."

"Hahahaha, rookie mistake." Merrick chuckled, "I haven't burned anything in a year."

"Hehehe..." Adam puts his arm to hold Merrick closer to him, "Where were you?"

"Just had someplace I had to be. And it was my day off, it couldn't wait..."

"Right..." Adam notices that he's holding Merrick a little too firmly again, before he eased his arm a little. "I like being with you like this..."

"Really?" Merrick asked with a cute grin as he looks at him.

"Yeah. I... Can we sit for a moment?" They get up, and sit up and paused Peter Capaldi explaining the Bootstrap Paradox. "Ever since I first met you... I can't stop thinking about you." He began, "I don't know, when you were at the psychiatric ward, I just wanted you to come back and do art with me, or just talk or anything. And whenever I felt alone or distant, I just sit there and wonder what you would say if you were there with me."

"But, at the same time, whenever I'm close to you," Adam continues, "It's like, I barely know how to talk... You make me feel nervous and happy at the same time. And when you kiss me, I just... Ehehheh, I just feel dumb for a few seconds, and I can hardly breathe when you do that."

"I was confused about all of this until I asked my Dad about these feelings that I've been having. And he explained it to me, as oddly as he can, and... Apparently, I'm a homosexual." He said with a shrug, "I still don't know what I should be making of that, what opinion I should try to think of..." He takes a deep breath as he looks at Merrick, huffing and shaking his head, "All I know is that you rearrange everything inside me every time I see you."

"Heh... And as you may have guessed, I'm gay too." Merrick said, "I... Didn't really know that I had that much of an effect on you though..." He admitted, "I'm sorry if I confused you more than I should have..."

"N-No, it's ok." Adam nodded, "I... I still have these feelings, and I'm still confused..." He puts his hand onto Merrick's, "But you're the only person I can really feel... I can only trust you with everything that goes on with me... I feel lonely all the time, and the only time I can stop hurting is when I'm with you."

"You have no idea." Merrick chuckled with a shake of his head, "I've been alone for... Too long, really..." Merrick pulls his hand away from Adam's, "Adam... Something happened to me today, and... I need to hold myself back, for your sake. I'm not sure if I can trust myself for you..."

"M-Merrick." Adam pauses, and blinks as he sees a drop of sparkling tear roll down Merrick's eye, "I-I... Merrick wait," Adam says as he holds onto Merrick's hand again, "I know I can't be the man you fell in love with..." He sees Merrick closes his eyes, "... I have feelings for you, and I hardly even know what they're for or why I'm feeling this way. I need you, Merrick..."

Merrick takes a deep breath, and turned to Adam, "So what do you want me to do?"

"Stay." Adam answers, his chest still wracked with nerves, "Stay here with me, at least for a few days, maybe a week... You can sleep on the couch or something, I... I just want you here, Merrick... I need you around."

"Alright, Adam." Merrick nods with a shaky breath, "If it means that much to you, and if that's what you want me to do."

"Hhh," Adam smiles wide before he pulls Merrick in for a tight hug. Merrick closes his eyes again, and hugs him back. Tears of joy, sorrow, and guilt continue to well in his eyes, pushing any urge to cry down inside him as his lower lip quivers as his chin flinches.

"Tha-Tha, Thank you, Merrick..." Adam whispers.

The two of them remain on the couch as Doctor Who plays out on the TV. Even through the night, at 2:32AM, Adam and Merrick are still there, both of them fast asleep.

"MERRICK!" Calls a loud voice. Merrick gasped as he looks through the blurry image of Kai, "Where are you, BOY?!"

"My Father..." Merrick whispered fearfully, "H-He can't see me like this! M-My clothes-"

"Are in your ship, young man." Adam smiles, "I put them there before this."

"MERRICK! Answer me!!" Kai yells out from outside of the waterfall.

"I-I-I, I have to go, I"

"Shhhhh." Adam hushed, "Why don't we go somewhere more... Accommodating?" He takes Merrick's hand and walked towards the waterfall.

"W-Wait! No! Please!" Merrick yanks and begs, but Adam has a firm grip on his wrist as they pass through the wall of water. In a blink of the eyes and from the wash of water, suddenly the water is a waft of manly incense.

Suddenly, Merrick's body is wet with cold fresh water, but as he looks down, he sees he is clothed... Oddly. He wears a purple satin top that covers his chest and part of his abs, as well as a breezy bottom piece made out of the same satin, the flap just cover his groin, as well as his behind. Swerving his hips, Merrick blushes harshly that he realizes he's not wearing a loincloth.

"Welcome to the Iron Cloud." Adam says to him, wearing a similar outfit, but is sporting the colors of gold and blue. Merrick gaps at him, noting that muscular physique, his arms, torso, and legs layered in body hair.

"Wha... What happened, where," Merrick turns around, looking in all directions, "Were we not at the waterfall??"

"No, my boy." Adam shakes his head, "We are on the Island of Aphrodita."

"A-Aphrodita???" Merrick gaps as he looks at him, "This island is supposed to be a pirate's refuge! It's steeped in crime and smut, what are we doing here?!"

"Hahaha... Did your Father tell you that?" Adam laughed, "Aphrodita is no center of malice or filth. It is simply an island that is run by free-minded people who seek sexual release. It was once a site for slave-trading and smuggling, but it was reformed long ago. Now it is merely a brothel capital."

"A brothel capital?"

"Oh nobles and proper ladies and gentlemen judge this place and the people who come here, thinking it is only a pile of people indulging in selfish gluttony and lust and greed. This island is a respectable voyage, as it is also a paradise of romance and welcoming. It is also known as a renown location for pastry goods and shipments. Look around you, and tell me if this place gives you such a low-grade impression that you have heard of."

Merrick looks at the bar, where some finely dressed gentlemen drink, while one of them strokes the hip of a scantily dressed, slender man with short dark hair. Another glance shows him an older man nuzzling affectionately on a nearly naked, very muscular black man wearing a loin cloth that shows that dark, thick ass. Looking in another direction, Merrick sees someone take two identical twins with him into a curtained room.

"I'm... Not sure... Where are we exactly?"

"This is the Iron Cloud brothel. This place caters specifically to men who seek to bed with men. There are more like it around in this island, but we should just keep to just the one right now."

"I-I-I still don't..." Merrick continues to blush as he and Adam walk to a fully dressed man. He looked to Adam's open hand, a green velvet ball forming in his palm, before a shiny small rope tie rolled up from it, making a clinking sound inside. 'What, how did he do that?? Is this man a sorcerer?' He thinks.

"I'm here with a friend tonight, Dreod." Adam says as he pays him with the pouch. Dreod opens the bag, and sees it full of gold pieces, "You'll find more than sufficient payment for tonight." The man chuckles at the bashful boy before him as he pulls the small ropes apart to close the pouch.

"Very well. He is of age though, right? He looks rather young."

"He is, as of last week."

"Alright, Adam." He nodded, "Enjoy then."

"I will." Adam says as he takes Merrick away from him, walking beside him.

"Adam... Named after the God of Manhood?" Merrick asked.

"Heh... You could say that." He answered as they walk into a curtained hallway, and turned a corner.

"Isn't that sacrilege?"

"I haven't had any complaints yet." Adam grinned as the go, both of them hearing moans of pleasure here and there. "I am a bit of a regular to the male-inns of the island.

They walk into a dimply-lit area, and Merrick gasps as he sees a copper-skinned man still wearing his tunic, but is nude from the waist-down, with pot-bellied man licking his inner most thigh. A second partially clothed male is sitting on the lap of a fair-complexion man with particularly large pecs and thick pink nipples, with the clothed patron worshipping one of those plug-like nipples. Merrick can see the naked sir's semi-hard member just before the customer's rump. Another glance shows Merrick a pair of guys making out passionately, both of their shirts off and sporting large tents in their trousers.

"The Iron Cloud has a few open rooms. This is for patrons who want to be a little more adventurous with the body. All of their private rooms are occupied tonight."

"H-How do y-y-you know?" Merrick stammered to the secret God, his chest thumping hard.

"Heh. I just do~" Adam can just feel the full capacity of lust and desire in the private cabins.

"Oh my...~" Merrick gasps as he sees a handsome male suddenly next to him, this one naked with only a gold amulet around his neck. His hand dips into Merrick's cloth, and rubs one of his buttocks smoothly. This whore is very muscular with a thin layer of hair on his scalp, shaved closely, as is the lower half of his face, and yet most of his torso is smoothed from ointment and hair-removal treatment on his chest and abs, "My name is Sarus. What is yours, sir~?"

"Ah-aahhhh..." Merrick moans awkwardly as he is touched in such a through manner, unable to answer the question; this man, wearing not a thread, just came up, and started holding his ass!

"Mnnhh~" Adam leans in and nibbles on Merrick's neck as he tucks his own hand under the flap on Merrick's bottom, and cupped the other cheek.

"Ohhh, aahhhooo, a-ahh" Merrick whines and moans where he stands, the front of his part-skirt taking no time at all to fold up from below and inside.

"You are cute personified." Sarus said with a grin as he takes Merrick away from the entrance. Adam smiles as he follows, seeing Merrick leaving behind any trace of paranoid reasoning. Before he knew it, his butt was pushed onto a velvet pillow as Adam and Sarus are on either side of him. He jumps and moans as Sarus gently grabs his exposed ballsac, "Wow, you are completely soft down there." He says as he glides his hand around the base of Merrick's throbbing tool, under his nuts, and on his groin, "I can NEVER get my lap this perfect. Are you sure he is not a boy?"

"His complexion truly is that of silk." Adam answers with a smile. Merrick is still hardly able to say anything, both terrified of these sudden rushes and changes, but also stagnant on saying something in risk of ruining all of these solid gold opportunities that are just presenting himself to him, one by one. He blushes as Sarus clips off the jewel button on the side of the waist-cloth, and puts the flap aside, to leave Merrick naked from the waist-down.

"Oooh, mnnh," A random patron huffs, having crawled to Merrick, still wearing his long-sleeved blouse, and tucking his face under Merrick's business.

"OOOO-Oooh!" Merrick jumps as he feels a tongue wipe on the underside of his sac. He kicks at the cushioned floor, before lies back. "Ohh! Mnnff." Merrick pants and moans as both of his cheeks were kissed and lapped by Adam and Sarus.

"Ohhh, aahhhlll..." Merrick moans and whines for a minute, his cock drooling before he turns to Sarus. Panting, Merrick puts his mouth onto his abs.

"Mmmhh, yeah..." Sarus grins as Merrick nibbles onto him. The customer at Merrick's legs takes off his damp tunic, showing a round and jiggly belly under a pair of thick, square shaped and round pecs. He strokes Merrick's hips as tenderly kisses into his inner area. Adam recognizes this man -- Togon, that lustful drunkard from the inn at Port Posidian.

"Heheheh..." Adam chuckles as he scoots himself down, his hand rubbing Merrick's butt as he crawls forth. Merrick looks away from Sarus's muscles, over his shoulders, before gasping out as Adam's lower jaw rolls into his perfect white buns.

"A-Ahhh!" Merrick grasps at Sarus hips as Adam licks deeply into his crack, before Sarus's hand gently guides him back to his tummy, "Ooohhllmmmnn..." Merrick moans as his dick twitches and grows harder from Adam's rimming. "H-Hoohhh!" Merrick moans as Togon's mouth started to make-out and glide around Merrick's supple orbs.

"Ohhh gah..." Merrick is put on his back, his heart pounding as Adam settles on his lap. Merrick pants and moans as his cock curls into Adam's crack. Adam rubs some sort of oil onto Merrick's rod, before hovering his ass above him. Merrick shakes as he can feel Adam's hot anus press around the top of his member, before the wet entrance started to part before his mast.

"O-Ohh, aahhh~" Merrick drops his head back as his penis feels his dick become enveloped around a very moist tight space, "AhhHH~!" He moans out. His toes curl as Adam groans as he sits on Merrick's lap. He rocks his hips, stirring Merrick's virgin cock inside his anus.

"You feel so good, boy." Adam huffs as he rolls his pelvis up and down about on Merrick's meat.

"B-By the Go-ods~! Ohhh~!" Merrick moans as he makes clumsy attempts to thrust upward, hardly able to get very far, or make much effort from the immense pleasure. Adam leans down, and kisses Merrick's lips as they go, holding the back of his head as he lets Merrick try to groove his body to push into Adam's ass.

Adam leans back up, his legs squatting, his own huge cock standing erect as he pushes himself up and down. "OhhhHHhhh~!" Merrick whines and squirms as every inch of his rod is pulled and pushed all around, the very tight confines of Adam's rear squeezing and sucking his dick as the godly man uses Merrick's pole as a toy.

"You are close already~?" Adam bites his lower lip as he grins, seeing the sweating, moaning young man under him, "You are so callow~"

"I... I can't..." Merrick grips onto Adam's hips so firmly, freezing his lower body as it feels mere inches from that huge explosion, "NnnnhHH!" Merrick clenches his eyes shut, trying not to let it burst. "Fffff." Merrick's member stings with ecstasy before he lets his head back, "Fffffuck"

Adam groans blissfully as he feels Merrick's cock flood inside him. His hairy chest feels a deep well of satisfaction that he has never felt before. His hands plant on either side of Merrick on the cushioned floor as he pants above him, the white milk oozing from his hole as Merrick quickly softens from inside. He moves his fuzzy butt to let Merrick's penis flop out, both of them panting as fatigue quickly catches with the young man.

Another random man lays next to Merrick as he starts to sleep, rubbing and caressing him as he rests, while Adam lays next to him, kissing him tenderly.

Some time later, Merrick groans as he stirs amongst the naked men in this harem, next to the magnificent man that brought him here. He smiles as he rolls next to him, rubbing his strong arm before Adam opens his eyes and turns to look at him.

"Enjoying the night, my love?" Adam asked with a smile.

"I am." Merrick says lowly, "What is the time."

"Heheh... Ffffffeennnnhhh..." Adam stretches some before he gets up on his legs. Merrick deeply blushes as he sees that god-like ass on Adam's backside, before he picks up the lavish loincloth from the floor, and then the drafty mantle upon his chest. He turns and grins at the young man, "Walk with me."

Merrick sits up, and notes he is already dressed in the skimpy lingerie of which he came in, as clean of the sweat and cum as when he entered. "O-Ok..." Merrick scrambles up, and follows him out.

Holding hands, they walk out of the Iron Cloud brothel into the night-filled string of establishments. Merrick half-expected there to be drunkards and whores sleazing around every corner, much like a pirate port he once seen. But this place is tranquil and civilized. Almost as classy as Atlanton, if it weren't for the exotic escorts walking around here and there, scantily dressed in fine clothing that showed off their bodies in tantalizing styles.

"So how do you like Aphrodita, Merrick?"

"I love it." Merrick said with a grin, "This night is much like what I have always wanted to do."

"So I saw. When you reached manhood." Adam said as they walk, appearing nothing more than a pair of lovers like anyone else here, "You have longed for so much through your teenage years. Craved such lust and desire, yet forced to chaste yourself for secret's sake alone."

"How... How ARE we here?" Merrick asked, "We were in a waterfall, and my father-" Merrick stopped, his eyes locking onto a pair of people. His eyes widened as he sees... Captain Kai. Dressed in dark blue silken robes, courting a fair maiden in a white angelic dress, walking along the road of this calm place, "F-Father?!"

"Captain Kai of the SS Navyn Ship." Adam said with a grin.

"Wh-What... What is HE doing here?!" Merrick covers himself, and hides behind Adam. Adam chuckles as he guides Merrick around him.

"Calm down, Merrick. This is your father as of 23 years ago." He tells him. Merrick notes that Kai looks a LOT younger and less thick in muscle than he looks, and his skin is lighter, and his hair is short and vivid in its dark color.

"But still. He TOLD me this was a desolate place! An island of sin and lechery! And he once walked HERE?!"

"As any parent would tell their children to demonize the debauchery of temptations that comes with adulthood." Adam says as they watch the young couple go, "If I am correct, this is when your father first proposed to your mother for her hand in marriage. What better time to proclaim love than a moonlit shore upon the island of love and desire itself?"

"Still, it feels... It feels hypocritical." Merrick frowned, "All this time, and he... Tch."
