Thalia had been given access to Octavinelle's pool, thanks to her work at the Mostro Lounge. This was the first time she'd seen it - and it was nothing like what she expected.
"Pool" was quite the understatement - this may as well have been a small lake. The water was still and dark, light twinkling in the shallow ripples on its surface. The lights on the ceiling had the appearance of distant stars - most likely magic.
The room seemed impossibly big, but it didn't echo. Besides the small stone area at the front, the entire room was water, and it stretched much further than any pool Thalia had seen before. It could easily house a whale, at least - maybe several.
A thought crossed Thalia's mind - just how large were the mer-people's aquatic forms, actually? She'd never seen Azul or the twins in their other forms, though the intimidating height of the twins made her think large. But…surely not this large?
She put her towel down on a small slab of stone and approached the water's edge. She swished her hand in the pool - the water was cold. Not unbearable, but definitely chilly. She shivered. Maybe the cold would get her to exercise a little harder tonight.
There was a small, metal stepladder at the edge, which she slowly lowered herself down. The stone edge of the pool was slick with algae underneath the surface of the water, and slimy tendrils of the stuff tickled her feet as she descended. She wished she was wearing something better suited to the cold water than a bikini - like a full wetsuit, maybe. She did her best to stop her chattering teeth and forced her body in, splashing a bit of the water into her face as she did. Salty - it was saltwater after all. Since the residents were mainly from the Coral Sea, it made sense.
She didn't know how far down the stepladder went, but she couldn't feel the bottom of the pool, and she certainly couldn't see it either. After her chest, she lost sight of the rest of her body under the water. She wondered how deep this pool was - could it actually be like an ocean below her?
She looked to the other edge of the pool - which, from her vantage point, she couldn't see. I'm not getting all the way across, but let's try halfway.
She kicked off the algae-covered wall and started a smooth breaststroke, fighting through the cold that was starting to seep into her bones.
It wasn't until she was a little ways out when she stopped to take a quick break, and that's when she felt it - something brushed her ankle.
Her body froze instinctively, and she realized she hadn't thought of something more crucial - what else was in this pool? She couldn't tell what it was that touched her, but it felt like a large tailfin, thin and flexible like that of a goldfish - but much, much bigger.
She could feel her heartbeat speed up in her chest. Would Crowley keep monsters in the pool used by students? …she realized that unfortunately, he probably would.
She turned around - the edge of the pool she had started from seemed so far away now, but she had to move now, quickly-
She did not have time to think before it happened - a very large, scaly hand wrapped around both of her legs and pulled her down under the waves. The cold water on her face was a shock, but it was the least of her worries - she thrashed and struggled, but the grip on her legs was like iron, and whatever had a hold on her had no intentions of letting go.
She struggled to open her eyes underwater, and the salt stung a bit, but what she was able to see made her heartbeat speed up even faster. A wide grin and a set of sharp white teeth were visible, illuminated by a faint, greenish luminescent pattern running down a long, massive body. Two glowing eyes, big as dinner plates, one of them gold and the other…wait…is this who I think it is?
Before she could straighten her thoughts out, the giant merperson clutched her close to his body and rose quickly to the surface. Thalia coughed and sputtered and gasped for air as her face broke the surface of the waves.
"I do apologize…I simply couldn't resist."
The voice was what made Thalia absolutely sure that she was right - this was Jade Leech, the moray who she worked with at the lounge. But his size…
"H-how are you this big?"
Jade chuckled, and Thalia could feel the rumble of his chest underneath her. She was still being clutched to his smooth body - she would be blushing if she was not still reeling from everything happening at the moment.
"I suppose my land form is much smaller, isn't it? This is my full size. I find it nice to stretch my fins every once in a while, so to speak." Jade flashed his sharp teeth as he spoke - each nearly as big as Thalia's hand.
The merman ran his large, webbed hand across Thalia’s hair, stroking it gently as he spoke. “Are you simply out for a late-night swim? You ought to be more careful - there are some things in the water that would simply love a little snack like you.” He stopped stroking Thalia’s hair, and she felt herself tense at those words. She was quite familiar with the way Jade and his twin looked at her in their human form, and now, at this size…Jade’s gaze was even more transparent in its predatory nature.
“Um…heh heh…” Thalia forced a small laugh, but it was quite obviously strained. “...d-do you think you could help me get back out of the pool? To, uh…make sure those things don’t get me?” Thalia did not have much choice at this point - there was certainly no getting away from the giant moray, even if she managed to wriggle out of his solid grip. She was held close enough to his body to feel a faint heartbeat, but mostly, all she could focus on was Jade’s sharp, white teeth - fitted in a mouth large enough to swallow her whole, and grinning a little too widely.
“Why, of course. I am supposed to be looking after you - it’s a part of our contract, after all.” Jade let go of Thalia - she had no plans of trying to swim away, she wasn’t stupid - and twisted his body so that she could hang onto the fin on his back. Thalia couldn’t differentiate between the icy cold water and the frozen feeling of fear anymore as her movements stiffened. She didn’t like the chuckle she could feel rumbling in Jade’s chest as he sped away towards the edge of the pool.
It was only seconds before they arrived at the edge - Jade swam much faster than she had even imagined previously. Thalia carefully let go of him and started to swim towards the ladder, but, almost predictably, Jade moved his huge body in between her and her only chance of escape. He placed his arms on either side of her, trapping her against the cold stone edge of the pool.
Jade did not say anything, simply stared at her with his huge, hungry eyes, still grinning and showing a hint of his teeth. Thalia considered screaming, but she sincerely doubted her voice would even come out now. She felt like a mouse - a very small, terrified mouse shaking under the paw of a huge cat.
As if to drive the point home, Jade ran a large tongue over his bottom lip and added a sheen of saliva to his teeth in the process. Thalia felt her heart drop all the way to her toes and a shiver of fear curl over her skin. Her voice begged to say something, but what should she say?
“J-Jade, the water is getting kind of cold…”
“I know of something that could help with that, little human.” With a devilish grin, Jade moved his body even closer, pressing Thalia even more against the stone wall of the pool. More than just his heartbeat now, she could feel something else - a faint rumbling in what she guessed could only be his…stomach. He lowered his head next to her ear, his warm breath tickling her frigid skin. “Would you like me to show you?”
Against Thalia’s best instincts for survival, she felt something else then - a wave of pleasure that pricked sharply down her skin. She hated it. She decided not to speak, for fear she would say something stupid.
In response to her silence, the large moray ran his huge, wet tongue over the side of her face, leaving little room for speculation now.
“T-the contract!” Thalia fumbled. “Y-you can’t hurt me, the contract-”
“I have no intention of hurting you, little human, not now,” Jade crooned, stroking the other side of her face with his huge fingers. “This is simply business, you see. We decided it would be best for you to get a taste of what a breach of contract would look like - Azul thinks you may not be…sufficiently motivated.” The moray’s eyes narrowed as he grinned. “And as it happens, after today’s shift I could use a snack.”
Thalia was at a loss for words - if Azul was in on this, then screaming really wouldn’t do anything, would it? Had he set this up, by suggesting she should visit the pool after her shift today?
“B-but-”
Jade put one webbed finger over her lips, silencing her. “Don’t worry - I won’t keep you long. This will only be a…short demonstration. I do apologize for any inconvenience.” The eager flashing of his teeth did not help his attempt at sincerity - neither did the continued rumbling of his stomach, pressed firmly against Thalia’s body now, as if growling in anticipation.
Jade bent his head over and placed his lips gently on top of Thalia’s head. After a few seconds of painful silence, without warning, he enveloped her head between his lips. She screamed now, but her pleas were lost in the giant tongue that moved back and forth over her, coating her in a sticky saliva. She could feel the faint prick of his huge, sharp teeth, which was a good incentive for her not to struggle, though it was a hard instinct to repress now.
Jade helped her efforts to keep still by holding her body tightly between his hands, both of which were large enough to wrap all the way around her. He held her torso in his mouth for a while, running his tongue back and forth along her bare skin as if to savor her taste. Slowly, he lifted her body up and began pushing her further into his maw, letting his tongue guide her in past his teeth.
Were it not for the overwhelming fear and disgusting feeling of being covered in saliva, Thalia would have been able to appreciate how warm it was inside the eel. That momentary comfort was interrupted by the breath being pushed out of her lungs as Jade used his tongue to press her against the roof of his mouth, moving the muscle back and forth over her chest and face, the tip of it teasingly brushing against her feet outside his mouth.
She almost didn’t notice as Jade began to tip his mouth back even further, and with just the faintest hint of light coming in from his open mouth, she could see the back of the moray’s throat illuminated dimly, the muscles stretching greedily in anticipation.
She could not scream - she didn’t have the air in her lungs to do so. Instead she pleaded weakly as her head dipped past Jade’s uvula. “Jade…please…”
She felt a small moan escape the eel and seem to envelop her as she was eagerly taken in by the moray’s throat, her plea either unheard or ignored. Her entire body was now inside of Jade, and she could feel his lips close over her feet as he pushed them in with his finger.
The movement down his throat was painfully slow - while Jade was large, his throat still had to work to accommodate Thalia. Even after the threat of his sharp teeth had passed, she could not struggle in the vice grip of the throat that pushed her down, squeezing her tightly as she made the descent towards the stomach. She thought she could feel something massaging her from the outside, as if Jade was aiding his throat by pushing her down with his fingers, tracing her journey downwards.
The last of her body was taken into his throat, her bare feet slipping against the edge of his tongue before they were sucked into the esophagus. Just as she thought she would suffocate, her head breached the end of the throat as it opened up into the stomach cavity. It was completely dark - Thalia couldn’t see how large of a space awaited her, nor could she see what else was in there with her, if anything.
As more and more of her body escaped Jade’s throat, she found herself pressed against the stomach’s walls, which undulated hungrily around her. Once her arms were free, she desperately tried to reach out, feeling for the size of the space, trying to readjust her body so that she could remain upright. While the feeling of saliva was omnipresent, Jade’s stomach was not as…full as she had imagined. There were no digestive juices - that she could feel - though the stomach walls were slick and wet. She had imagined being immediately assaulted with acid, but even with all of her exposed skin, she didn’t feel any pain - just a bit of discomfort from her cramped position, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees.
She was much closer now to the rumbling, hungry sounds of Jade’s stomach, though, which served her no comfort. The walls of the stomach contracted around her, pressing against her skin, as if desperate to bring her further inside the moray, where the sounds seemed to emanate from…
She felt the stomach press her even firmer as Jade placed a hand over his stomach, feeling Thalia through his skin. She could feel him sigh in contentment.
“You were even more delicious than I had anticipated. It has been so long since I was this full…now, listen, human. It would be an easy thing to digest you now, but as I said before, I have no intention of doing so…this time. I trust that this is a sufficient demonstration for you, yes?” He chuckled darkly, and the sound vibrated through Thalia’s bones. She was keenly aware of the walls of the stomach all around her, and how quickly their innocent massaging could betray her, treating her as nothing more than food.
“Yes, I…I understand…can I…come out now?” Thalia’s words were a struggle to get out, between the limited air in the stomach and her almost fetal position. She squirmed, trying to sort her limbs out into a more accommodating position. To her dismay, this movement seemed to elicit another moan of pleasure from the moray.
“Mmm…not quite yet, little human. I’d like to savor this for a little while longer. After all, if you don’t break the contract, I may not get to taste you again…how unfair.” She felt an odd sensation as Jade began to move - below the surface of the water, it seemed, until he finally stopped. The stomach squeezed tighter around her as Jade seemed to be lying halfway on his belly on the bottom of the pool.
“You’ll have enough air for the rest of the night.” Even underwater, Jade’s voice could be heard clearly. “I think I’d like a short nap. It would be best for you to sleep too - we both start work early tomorrow, don’t forget.”
Thalia wanted to know how she was still able to breathe - not well, but she didn’t seem to be suffocating - not to mention how Jade could seemingly choose not to digest her - but she did not think she would get the answers she wanted, certainly not from here. She felt the moray’s breathing slow, could hear his heartbeat’s rhythm decrease into a steady thumping that ended up being almost hypnotic. The fear had had time to ebb, and it had drained her of all of her remaining energy. Almost reluctantly, Thalia allowed her eyes to close, hoping that she would be able to open them again in the morning.
Jade was lulled to sleep by the taste of the human lingering in his mouth and the feeling of a full belly, knowing that he would be so reluctant to let them go in the morning. He rubbed the bulge under his chest, barely making out the shape of the human underneath.
He half-hoped the human ended up breaking their contract after all - what a delicious meal they would make.
Hey guys, I know it's been a while. I don't plan on being as active anymore, but I figured I'd share a story I've had in my head for a while. Eat on, my dudes!
