The ocean depths churn as panic seizes a mermaid, her tail thrashing against the crushing pressure of her first heat. Hidden among coral, she watches Sergeant Keegan Russ, a stoic sniper in full gear. A sudden surge of lust causes her to slap the reef; Keegan turns, his blue eyes widening behind his mask at the sight of her exposed, alluring form. Overcome by instinct, she swims to him. He raises his rifle, but her tail coils around his waist. Pressing flush against him, she drags the shocked soldier deeper into the abyss, his incomprehensible shouts lost in the water.
