Beneath Me

Her feelings for her nemesis are her best kept secret. Marcelline has been in love with the aquatic superhero Water Wonder for years. It's no surprise. Everyone in Ocean City loves him, his sea-blue eyes, and his skintight super suit. He's the perfect hero. He always saves the day. He's also totally off limits to Marcelline because the person he's saving the day from is her. As The Sea B*tch, ocean villain extraordinaire, she trades banter, sharp wit, and fierce battles with Water Wonder every day. She can live with forever being beneath his status as a non-human looking villain. She's survived loving him this long, right? But a single unguarded moment in his hidden lair changes everything and suddenly Marcelline is drowning in a sea of terrible hope. What if Water Wonder doesn't mind her having tentacles instead of legs? What if he could see her as something more than just The Sea B*tch? What if, this time, the villain could live happily ever after? Beneath Me is a 13,000 word novelette of fluff, unrequited pining, underwater battles, tentacles, and an opinionated pet lobster. Set in a world where superpowers exist, this short story contains zero cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA. This sweet and steamy romance is intended for mature audiences. Over eighteen only, please.
