The Bad Boy And The Mermaid

Chapter 29

Hunter

I pinned her with an incredulous stare. Blue did not just ask me to marry her!

I cupped her face in both of my hands, “Do you realize what you’re asking me?”

She nodded earnestly, “Yes. I would love to marry you if you wish to marry me, that is.”

I chuckled, “If you’re making this decision just because you think my life is in danger, then please don’t. I’m not sure if I’m even marriage material. I would hate to disappoint you.”

“You wouldn’t be disappointing me.” She said. “Please understand that it’s the only way that my family cannot force me to go back to my world. If I take you as my husband, it would be a sin, I can’t deny it. Humans and merfolk are not allowed to get into the union of marriage but it would be even more sinful if they tried to separate me from a man that I’ve already considered as a soulmate.”

My heart felt fuzzy. “Is it true?” I asked.

“About what I said? Of course it is.”

“That you think I’m your soulmate?”

“I do, if I didn’t I wouldn’t ask you to marry me.” She said truthfully.

I loved the way she looked at me, like I was her entire universe. Did Blue want to marry me because of her infatuation of the human world? I couldn’t help but wonder if that was one of the contributing factors. She loved me, I had no doubt about it, but I didn’t know if marrying me was something she’d said on a whim.

“Hunter…” She looked hopeful and I realized she was still waiting for me to answer.

“I love you, and I’ve never said that to any woman before. I swear to you.” I said.

Blue waited patiently for me to continue.

“But I don’t know if marrying me would be a good decision on your part.” I whispered, making sure to keep my tone low so only she could hear me. “You’re pure and innocent and so out of my league, sweetheart, you don’t even know.”

Her face fell, “Is it possible that you don’t feel the same way about me? Maybe you would rather have a human as your wife.”

“You’re misunderstanding.” I pointed out. “It’s not that I don’t want to marry you, Blue, it’s just that…I don’t want to spoil your life or keep you from going to your world by binding you in marriage. This implies if you were a human too. I’m bad…I’ve done horrible things in my past and I don’t deserve you.”

Her lower lip quickened, she recovered quickly and she was furious, “You want to risk your life? You would rather die than marry me!”

“Again, you misunderstand, sweetheart—”

“Don’t call me that! Don’t talk to me!” She yelled.
