wanted to cry and his chest ached with the need to call him back.
    "I'm sorry," he whispered instead. "I'll come back soon, I promise."
    Water slipped over the merman's head and he disappeared into the depths of the lagoon.
    "Gabriel?!" The voice hollered again, sounding panicked now.
    "O-over here," Gabe called back, voice rough from suppressed tears. Behind him in the jungle, he could hear someone coming toward him, crashing through the brush.
    Standing up, Gabe ignored the discomfort of his body from lying for so long, instead focusing on the tranquil ocean waters he could see just past the lagoon.
    "I never even got to learn his name," he sighed softly, stealing one last look before turning and walking back toward the jungle.
    A strange wave rolled in from the ocean into the lagoon, crashing up on the rock Gabe had just vacated with violent force. Gabe jumped in alarm then froze in shock.
    There, in between the crashing of the waves upon the rocks, he could have sworn he heard a name being whispered.
    " Paxton ."

Chapter 5
     
    "Hey, where did you disappear to?" Aaron asked, frowning and looking puzzled as Gabe slipped through the trees and away from the beach. "I told you I'd be right back."
    Gabe opened his mouth to respond, but nothing seemed to come out. He was still too amazed and confused by recent events—lips still tingling from the searing kiss he'd received from his merman—to form a proper response. Aaron must have noticed Gabe's apparent state of shock, because his confusion melted into worry.
    "Hey, are you okay?" Aaron asked, as he moved quickly over to Gabe's side, wrapping a comforting arm around his shoulder.
    Gabe couldn't stop himself from shivering as the heat of the other man's skin touched him. It was so different from the cool, strong embrace from the merman that he found himself unsettled from the innocent touch. Gabe slipped out from under Aaron's arm and turned to face him, attempting to give a reassuring smile.
    "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I just needed…" Gabe frowned suddenly. "Come to think of it, I don't really know why I felt like I needed to come out here. It was like the beach called to me." He could still remember the strange tugging feeling in his chest that had made him wander away from the village, and it made little sense to him now after the fact. He hadn't thought about it much before, but now he was away from the beach and his mysterious merman, the strange sensation and its powerful effect on him really bothered Gabe.
    Aaron studied him, and then his eyes widened when he looked down Gabe's body. "Uh, did something happen at the lagoon?" he asked, quirking a brow.
    Gabe frowned, confused by the teasing light in the other man's eyes. That was, until he looked down his own body and saw that his cock hadn't deflated in the slightest since walking away from the merman.
    "Oh! Um…" Gabe blushed brightly, face on fire. He quickly covered himself with his hands and shifted uncomfortably.
    Aaron burst out laughing, seeming to enjoy Gabe's obvious embarrassment. "Here, cover up and we'll talk on the way back to camp." He tossed some sort of brown cloth at Gabe, forcing him to scramble to keep himself covered with one hand and catch the cloth with the other.
    Gabe wasn't the most coordinated person at the best of times, and his flustered state made him even less so. The cloth fell to the ground, and Gabe suspected his face might never be its original color ever again. Glowing scarlet, Gabe quickly bent and scooped up the cloth, only then noticing it was actually two different pieces of fabric; one was a loincloth, and the other looked like some sort of pouch with strings.
    "What…?" he began, holding up the pouch with strings, only to be cup off by Aaron's snicker.
    "It's for protection. You're penis and balls go in the pouch, and the strings wrap around your waist and just under your butt to keep it in place." Aaron grinned. "Trust me, you do not want to go running around
