My Futanari Lover

8-I: My Futanari Mermaid, Odette

Due to her rough childhood, Odette had come to hate herself, her identity, and the oceans.

Valor has taken it upon himself to help her heal her trauma after constant persuasion.

And handy incentives, of course.

"... VA...!"

Valor slowly opened his eyes. A strange and unfamiliar noise was echoing throughout the house. He groaned, raising his body up and rubbing his eyes. His senses were still blurry from waking up. What is that sound...?

"... LOR....!"

As he finally regained full control of his senses, his eyes shot open in realization. That wasn't some strange and unfamiliar noise...

That was a scream.

Valor leapt off his bed and dashed out the room, running to the source of the scream.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Reaching the room, Valor slammed the door wide open and saw a girl trembling and thrashing around on her bed.

"Odette!"

"STOP HURTING ME, PLEASE!" she screamed in pain.

"Odette!" He hurried to her side and wrapped his arms around her, gently pulling her into his embrace.

"NO, LEAVE ME ALONE!" she thrashed around within his hug, struggling to break free. Her tailfin violently whipped around the bed.

"Odette, it's me!" he patted her back to wake her up and locked her tail down. "It's me! You're safe!"

"VALOR, WHERE ARE YOU!" she cried out his name, scared.

"I'm here, Odette!" he stroked the back of her hair, attempting to comfort her. "I'm here, everything's okay! You're safe!"

After thrashing for a few more moments, she eventually stopped moving and slowly opened her eyes. Tears were streaming down her face.

"I'm here, Odette." He whispered softly. "It's okay. Everything's okay."

"... Mnghhh..." she quickly wrapped her arms around him, digging her nails into the back of his shirt. Her body was shaking heavily.

"It's okay... it's okay." He cooed, stroking her back to calm her down. "I'm here, Odette."

"V-Valor..." she sobbed quietly.

"Did you have another nightmare?" he asked softly, rubbing her tears away with his thumb.

"Mnnh..." she nodded timidly, snuggling her head under his chin. His body warmth and natural scent helped to alleviate some of her stress.

Valor hummed in understanding. He placed her ear against his chest so she could hear his beating heart. His heartbeat was a sound she dearly loved because it soothed her senses. It was her favorite sound.

Odette took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. She repeated this process a few times to calm herself down as Valor taught her.

"That's good, Odette." He smiled softly. "Are you feeling better?"

"Mnnh..." she nodded again.

Valor tried to pull his arms away but Odette tightened her hug around him, not wanting to let go just yet.

"Please stay..." she sniffled, clutching his shirt. "Don't go..."

"I'm right here." He patted her head. He adjusted himself on the bed so his back was resting against the headboard. Her body, even her tail, was still shaking in his embrace. She must have been terrified... he'd wait for as long as she needed.
