Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

---- Chapter 81 I Am Waiting For You He nipped at her neck-sometimes biting softly, sometimes just licking. Ardenia felt her scalp prickle, and something hard pressed against her waist. Oh-don't touch my neck! She wasn't some puppy. What was with biting the back of her neck? And these kisses were just way too intimate. Ardenia shrank her neck, which made the person behind her freeze for a second, then a deep laugh rumbled out. Calder wrapped both arms around Ardenia from behind, pulling her completely into his embrace.

He bent down, resting his chin on Ardenia's shoulder, and called out ina sweet voice, "Ardenia..." Woohoo! This merman is about to put on a show! she thought. Then, she asked, "What are you doing here?" He let out a heavy sigh, but it sounded different from usual. "I am waiting for you, Ardenia. Do you want to hear me sing?" ---- "Merfolk's singing is really something special..." As he spoke, his thin lips caught her earlobe and nibbled gently, nuzzling her ear like a kitten. The pleasant scent lingering on Ardenia seemed to drift up to Calder's nose, leaving his gaze hazy with longing.

When Ardenia still didn't respond, he tugged at his own shirt, then let go so he could turn Ardenia to face him, placing her hand right onto his abs. She thought, Wow... he's raising the stakes, huh! But honestly, it felt great! Amerman's eight-pack abs really were pleasant to touch. Ardenia smacked her lips, secretly impressed by her own good luck. Seeing that he got his way, Calder swept her up, holding her tight against his chest, and whispered, "Ardenia, don't go back tonight. Those two are terrifying!" Hmm? ---- Who? Calder's cheeks were flushed; he could smell Halden's scent on Ardenia.

He was worried the successive attention would be too much for her. On top of that, Tobias and Niall had gone off to get ready after dinner. If Ardenia went back, who was she supposed to pick? She couldn't possibly pick both, right? No, that can't do. Either way, he had swooped in, so Ardenia didn't have to struggle with that choice. "Who?" she asked. "Niall and Tobias..." Calder was embarrassed, hesitated, then continued, "You should rest! But if you want, you can always pick me. I'll behave.

| just want you to be happy, Ardenia." He checked Ardenia's face and, seeing that she wasn't upset, he added, "| just don't want you to have a hard time picking between those two..." ---- His voice grew quieter and quieter. "So, you're saying | should choose you?" Ardenia laughed, wrapping both arms around Calder's neck and leaping into his arms, clinging to his slim waist like a koala. "Didn't you say you'd sing for me?" Calder lit up, supporting Ardenia's hips with one hand, and carried her happily back to his old cave. Steam curled from the hot spring. Ardenia suddenly got an idea.

Seeing how secluded the spring was, she asked Calder to set her down, then slipped off her rough linen clothes under the cover of darkness... This move made him blush furiously; he clearly hadn't expected her to act like this in front of him. "Ardenia..." Calder's breath caught, his whole face flushed. Ardenia teased, "What? Can't | use your hot spring?" "Of course you can!" Calder stammered, spinning around ina hurry, only to see her sitting naked on a rock by the hot spring, ---- her back to him.

Her long hair draped down her smooth back, and the exposed skin seemed to glow softly in the air. She looked like a freshly peeled piece of fruit-irresistibly tempting. Under the night sky, she sat there doing nothing at all, yet somehow she radiated sweetness and light, like a pearl from the deep sea. Calder was entranced. He admitted to himself that he had never really seen her beauty before. When Ardenia heard his answer, she turned to smile at him. At this moment, that sweet smile was just for him. She patted the stone next to her and said softly, "Calder, come here." This was pure bliss.

Those words made Calder forget everything else, just like a siren's call. The pool was big enough, so he slipped in from the other side. The moment his body hit the water, it transformed into a fish tail! The huge tail made a splash, shining even in the night. Ardenia stared at the glimmering tail. It was beautiful- ---- absolutely dazzling! It was truly one of a kind! Calder swam over, tilting his head back to look up at her, and gently cupped Ardenia's soft feet in his hands. His hair was actually deep blue.

His warm lips pressed against the top of Ardenia's foot, and the giant tail wrapped her into the water. Calder's gaze never left Ardenia. Seeing her looking right back at him made him feel incredibly proud.
