The days passed, but Tim couldn't shake the thought of having sex with Janine as a mermaid again. He kept having vivid erotic dreams about it, but the reality was far different. He decided he had to talk to Cleo himself.
A few weeks later when Janine was away at a business conference, Tim took her work keys and keycard and went to the office at the end of the normal work day. He wasn't surprised to see Cleo was still busy in her office; Janine described her boss as a workaholic. He knocked on the door and was called in to Cleo's office.
Cleo knew her employees well enough. "Who are you? You don't work here."
"I'm Janine's boyfriend, Tim."
"You weren't aware she was away on business?"
"I am. But I'm here to see you. About what you did for her." He walked up to her desk. "Your little...secret." He took a seat in front of the desk.
Cleo glared at him. "Secrets are meant to be kept. As I thought Janine understood."
"Your secrets are safe with me; Janine only talked to me after I persuaded her. I was hoping I might persuade you to provide more serum."
"There is no more serum. I told Janine this."
"Is it money? If it's expensive surely we can still make some kind of financial arrangement."
"No."
"Please, Cleo." Tim leaned forward, his hands together like a man in prayer. "I'm desperate to have sex with a mermaid again. Once wasn't enough."
Cleo shook her head.
"What about you?"
"Excuse me?"
"Have you felt the touch of a man since you became a were-mermaid? You and I could fulfill each other's wants."
Cleo was silent for a moment. The truth was she hadn't. Since her condition began she had hidden herself behind work. Now this man who already knew her secret wanted to share it. Of course, it also meant knowingly helping a man cheating on his girlfriend, who was one of her employees no less. If Janine found out about this tryst she might tell alot more people than just her boyfriend.
