Chapter 911 – How About Pants?
Her skin felt tight suddenly.
Ariel blinked.
Right.
Water.
Mermaids needed water.
Not constantly like ancient stories claimed, but after intense emotional or physical exhaustion?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Ariel immediately scrambled upright awkwardly, trying not to step on unconscious women while making her way toward the indoor pool connected to the lounge area.
The marble floor felt cool against her bare feet.
The water shimmered softly beneath dawn light filtering through massive glass windows.
The second Ariel reached the edge…
She jumped.
The relief hit instantly.
Cool water wrapped around her body like home itself.
A soft gasp escaped her lips while she sank deeper beneath the surface.
And then… Her legs transformed smoothly beneath the water.
Scales shimmered into existence. Elegant fins unfurled slowly behind her as her mermaid tail emerged fully beneath the pool's surface.
Ariel exhaled shakily.
Better.
Immediately better.
