Countess' lover

The dinner was more or less underway, and the gentlemen left for the smoking room.Brandy, cigarettes, economics and politics are always the eternal topics for the men there, obviously, the ladies will not follow.

Mr. Emerson's invitation they had to go anyway, whether they really wanted to taste the brandy or not, and Karl was of course among them.He first asked Ruth if he needed to take her back to the cabin by himself, but of course he was rejected, and Ariel also unexpectedly rejected Carl's proposal to ask her to go back.

"I want to go shopping by myself, I have no reason to be with you all the time."

Ariel's words made Carl's face extremely ugly, but he really had no reason to ask Ariel to always be with him.In the end, he could only let Ariel go shopping by herself, and ordered Legere to follow her quietly.Ariel knows it, but it doesn't matter. Being followed by someone is not very free, but considering the other party's concern, she doesn't care.

The siren on the wall is very interesting, the sculpture of the Greek goddess at the corner of the stairs is as beautiful as it is, and the black wooden stairs exude a faint fragrance.In the banquet hall, four violinists and a cellist are still playing moving music.Everything is warm and beautiful, until Ariel sees Rose and Jack in the clock tower.

Jack pulled Ruth to his side, and the two walked in the other direction, holding hands like lovers.Ariel had no intention of following, but Leger seemed restless.This made her a little curious, even if it was for Karl, should she follow along to see it?

Even Ariel has to admit that Ruth and Jack look more like a couple together.Ruth always had a cheerful and lively smile on her face, completely different from the lifeless one when she was around Carl.This change is obviously because of Jack, and Ariel intuitively found out that they like each other.

In the third-class cabin of the Titanic, civilians are also reporting the ball.Probably this place can be called a real dance party. People are crowded in this small and simple place, but they all have sincere smiles on their faces.Maybe they don't have good food and wine, nor do they have gorgeous dresses in the magnificent hall, but the happiness can infect everyone.

Although what Carl showed her was extremely beautiful, Ariel felt that this place was the one that truly reflected the lives of most human beings, the real one.Mixed with the taste of temperance tobacco and beer, as well as the salty sea water, the accordion tambourine is stuck in a lively rhythm, which makes people's body can't help but dance to the beat.

A handsome young man came to Ariel and said something to her loudly.He speaks with a strong Spanish accent, and his curly brown hair is messy but not ugly. Although the white shirt has been washed yellow, it is still very clean.It was too noisy here, and even though the boy's voice was loud, Ariel couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

She could only tilt her head and smile at the boy, sweet and joyful.The boy thought that Ariel had agreed to his invitation, so he took Ariel's hand and walked to the dance floor to dance with her.

If she had known that the boy was going to invite her to dance, Ariel wasn't sure if she would refuse immediately, but since she came, she certainly wouldn't run away.Ariel tried to move her body to the rhythm of the people around her. Most people here have never learned orthodox dancing, and no one would comment on how well Ariel danced.

Human legs made her feel uncomfortable for a while, but soon Ariel found the rhythm.Her body is swaying and jumping, as comfortable as being in the water, with a happy smile on her face, even if someone bumps into her occasionally, it will not reduce her good mood.

The boy said words of praise to her loudly, and the hands that held Ariel gradually began to hug her waist.Ariel trembled from the boy's sudden movement, and the mermaid's waist was also very sensitive.However, this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Karl who had just arrived.

Anger, jealousy, mixed with sourness came to my mind.He even selectively ignored Ruth and Jack in the middle of the dance floor, and only saw Ariel's flushed smiling face and that strange and heroic boy in his eyes.

How dare she let others stick so close!How dare she go to the third class to dance alone!How dare she smile so happily at others!

The dance floor of the third-class cabin is definitely not as polite as the banquet hall, and the advance and retreat are restrained. The crowded crowd hinders Carl's progress.He could only watch from a distance, pushing away the impoverished people one by one, but he was still so far away from Ariel.He was absolutely pissed off!

"Mr. Hockley—" Ariel noticed Karl's arrival, she waved to the young man politely and apologetically, and approached Karl like a snake waving from the crowd.

Ariel is petite, with soft limbs, and she seems to be dancing to the beat of the music.Her hair has long been scattered because of dancing, and the flowing and moving hair is often the best thing that can attract men.She jumped to Carl's side, took him with both hands, and asked happily, "Are you here to find me?"

She flew to his side like a butterfly, and the fire in Karl's heart miraculously subsided a lot.He grabbed Ariel's arm and pulled her out.Ariel was a little reluctant to part with her, she grabbed Carl's arm coquettishly, and began to dance around him lightly.

Her steps are not delicate at all, but very light.With every jump and arm swing, the long platinum hair swayed like a wave with the movement of the body.The light blue long skirt covered her legs, and the empty water blue waves around her waist made her waist look extremely soft and slender.Her laugh was so contagious and contagious that Carl could hear it even on a loud dance floor.

It was as if he saw the warm glowing mermaid on the dark seabed again, with those soft arms wrapped around his waist, bringing him the hope of life.In a trance, Carl dances with Ariel, albeit unconsciously.This made Ariel's smile even happier, she took Carl's hand as a fulcrum, and pulled him into a large circle.This kind of happiness and excitement, no matter with Jack or that heroic boy, there is no such thing.

A drunken man suddenly collapsed, and all the beer in the glass spilled on Ariel's feet.Her face turned pale quickly, her toes froze as if she had lost support, and she quickly and slowly fell to the ground.

"Ariel!" Carl came back to his senses in an instant, and pulled Ariel into his arms with his strong arms, and he held her!

"What's wrong?" Carl took Ariel into his arms, the girl's height was not up to his shoulders, the petite and soft girl seemed to slip out of his arms in the next moment, he couldn't help but hug her tightly tighter.

Ariel was pale, her legs trembling along Karl's. "Water...tail...take me back..."

The surrounding area was so noisy that Karl could only hear these few simple words, but these few words alone were enough to make his face change drastically.He didn't even have time to lose his temper with Ariel, he directly picked her up and rushed outside.Seeing Karl holding Ariel in his arms, people all made way for Karl.

This scene was so familiar, the girl in his arms was light and soft, her arms were tightly wrapped around his shoulders, and her charming little face was completely pressed against his arms.Even when he was walking forward with big strides, he could still hear her subtle breathing.She relied on him so wholeheartedly, without any rejection.She came from the deep sea, but at this moment she was held tightly in his arms.Her smile, her beauty, and the words she said to it coquettishly every time, made Carl's heart very soft.

Will she go back so that he can never be found again?Will she fall into the arms of other men in the same way?

A flame of paranoia suddenly surged in Carl's heart, hardening his heart that had been softened because of Ariel.How can I make her completely belong to me?Possess her so that she will never have the chance to return to the deep sea?

Carl pursed his lips tightly, but gently put Ariel into the bathtub.The warm water flowed in slowly, and Ariel leaned against the bathtub impatiently, a bright blue fishtail protruding from the bottom of her skirt as her body twisted.

Her eyes were closed, her pale face flushed from the warmth of the water.Ariel opened her eyes, her lake-blue eyes looked at him brightly, filled with joy and regret.She said to Carl, "It's a good thing you went to find me! But what a pity, I still want to dance with you!"

Kalmer remained silent, took off his coat and threw it aside casually. "I'm also very glad that I went." If she didn't go, what would happen to her now?To dance with them, to lie in the bed of that sleazy poor man?Or the fish tail was exposed and was caught and locked up for research?

Instinctively, Ariel felt that Karl was extremely dangerous at the moment.She bit her lip slightly, and looked at the man worriedly and fearfully. Such a pure gaze made Karl's heart even more angry.Will she look at others with such eyes?

"Are you the same to everyone?" The man's tone was not very good, he strode over, and rudely began to undress Ariel.

The drenched blue dress was rippling in the water, like the waves of the sea.She is the most beautiful creature in the sea, a mermaid!

"What's the same?" Ariel asked puzzled, but she didn't have much reaction to Carl's act of taking off her clothes.She was not used to wearing so much.

Karl didn't answer, impatient with the complicated dress, he simply tore the skirt from between his legs with both hands, revealing the mermaid's body inside.The waist was still slender and soft, and from the hips down it turned into a slender fishtail.

A bit similar to a snake, much longer and softer than a simple fish tail.Each scale is small and shiny, bright blue, neatly arranged together.

"It's beautiful." Carl admired it sincerely. He sat on the edge of the bathtub and reached out to stroke Ariel's fishtail.The man's slightly rough fingers brushed over the smooth scales one by one, cold, smooth, a little hard, integrated yet different.

It was a feeling she had never felt before, for Ariel.No one had stroked her fishtail like this since birth.Instinctively, she waved in her hand, trying to escape the tender and itchy touch.The bathtub was too small for the mermaid, she could only flick her tail to brush away the man's fingers.

"Don't touch the tail... No one's touched it yet!" She gasped slightly and said arrogantly to Karl.

"That's just right." Carl was indifferent, but still didn't touch her tail.His fingers started to move upwards, tentatively rubbing the snow-white peaks of the mermaid.It was softer and more supple than imagined. "Can't you turn your tail back into human legs again?"

Ariel groaned, her voice was already extremely beautiful, but at this moment it made people's hearts burn. "What are you doing?" She looked at Carl again with pure and innocent eyes, "I feel so strange."

"You should answer my question first." His voice was hoarse, full of desire.

Ariel lowered her head, her long hair wrapped around her shoulders and hung on her chest.Surprisingly, she neither answered his question nor stopped him. "Do you know the meaning of my string of pearls?"

Carl paused, let go of her as if nothing had happened, and began to take off his shirt. "You told me about the tears of a newborn."

"Aren't you going to give it back to me?"

Carl was silent for a moment, and answered her in the affirmative, "Yes. I will give you more, beautiful things."

How could something beautiful be as precious as her pearls? "Will you always be nice to me?"

"Give me everything I have."

He said it so sincerely that she almost believed it.Ariel finally raised her head and looked at him, "Do you like me?"

Carl tosses his shirt aside. "I want you."
