For Maya Harkin, a marine biologist with a love for order and a craving for the unknown, MonsterFling started as a curiosity—until a match with Nerissa, a predatory yet breathtaking mermaid, turns her life upside down. What begins as an innocent chat about life below the waves quickly becomes a night of sensual discovery as Maya learns that Nerissa’s body, with its scales, webbed fingers, and powerful tail, offers pleasures beyond anything human anatomy could provide.

Nerissa is wild, otherworldly, and unapologetically dominant, pulling Maya into a tide of passion that leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew about intimacy. As their connection deepens, the scientist in Maya battles with the woman who just wants to surrender to the mermaid who sees her as more than just another surface dweller.

In this spicy LGBTQ short story, sapphic desire meets the allure of the unknown as Maya and Nerissa navigate a connection that’s equal parts exhilarating and dangerous. Saltwater Seduction explores the beauty of embracing differences, the thrill of crossing boundaries, and the kind of love that feels as vast and untamed as the ocean itself.
