The next day Jessica was already in the pool when Tommy arrived there. She said "Good Morning" and he reciprocated. They swam laps, took a break during which Jessica again tried with little success to make conversation. But this time when Jessica resumed swimming laps, Tommy reentered the water as well. He swam until he was tired. "See you later," he said as he returned to his room.
The third day continued the trend. This time as Jessica tried to make conversation, Tommy abruptly asked, "You were in the 'Tails Up' calendar, weren't you?"
"That was me," Jessica admitted. "But that mermaid tail was fake; this one is real." After a moment she added, "You can touch it if want."
Hesitantly, Tommy reached over and put his hand on Jessica's tail where her thigh would have been. A slight pleasurably jolt shot up Jessica's body. After a moment, Tommy ran his hand along Jessica's tail. She curled it up so he could touch her tailfin too. Jessica realized her tail was more sensitive to touch than she'd realized. As Tommy ran his hand back up Jessica's tail toward her waist, she muttered, "Keep exploring with that hand if you want to..."
Tommy, seemingly startled, got up and left in a hurry without another word. Jessica watched him go, wondering if she'd been too forward in that unguarded moment. Then she looked down and realized her vagina was more noticeable than it had been since her transformation had begun several weeks ago, wet with more than pool water. Jessica pulled herself onto a lounge chair. Neither seeing or hearing anybody around, she began masterbating for the first time as a mermaid. As she drove herself to a climax, she didn't notice Tommy was watching her from inside the house, the bulge in his swim trunks bigger than ever.
That night, Jessica was surprised to dream of Tommy having sex with her. She woke up in the morning drenched in sweat from her erotic dreams. Jessica had signed her contract expecting she would eventually have sex with Tommy, but was surprised to find herself wanting it, and relatively quickly. She wondered if her increasing sex drive was some side effect of the transformation.
