I awake underwater but it's different, brighter, warmer, calmer. What happened? Was I just dreaming? I last thing I remember was getting caught in a net, painful shocks and coming out of the water. The memory of the wind against my flesh lingers in my mind, no that all happened.
As my eyes fully focus I see smooth walls and a sandy floor with several fake rocks and seaweed scattered around and a large glass window. Swimming up I look through it and see what looks like an expensively furnished bedroom, I must be in some kind of fish tank.
I swim around getting to know my environment better, the tank itself is fairly spacious, around 10ft in height, 15ft wide and 12ft deep, plenty of space to swim and turn around in. As I swim I feel the plug move deep inside me reminding me that it exists and slightly stimulating me, making my cock twitch inside my tail. Exploring I find a small 3ft wide tunnel near the bottom of the wall right of the window, I swim down and easily fit through it, even if it does feel a bit clostraphobic after so much time in the open ocean. I emerge on the other side into a smaller tank, only around 6ft in width and length, Swimming up I find a slope in the wall around 6ft up and follow it into a shallow area and fighting my fears I rise out of the water, the air feeling strange on my skin after living underwater for so long, part of me feeling relieved not to feel the electric shocks as I surface. I crawl up the swellow water and find myself on a small piece of dry land, well it's a fake rock but still it's dry. I take a moment to remember what it feels like to be above the water but strangely part of me misses the feeling of the water around me, outside everything feels distant and unsupportive, it's unnerving. What is happening to me? I'm a human being, I should want to be on dry land. I look around and see a small gate and bars at the end of the fake rock, I crawl over to it and have a closer look, I see a lock high above me, with my tail I doubt I could reach it, not that I can do much with my webbed hands if I could. Looking through the bars I see a small sitting area with large chairs and a coffee table, part of me vaguely remembers living in that world, a much different world from the one I seem destined to live in now. Part of me wishes that I could return to that world but it seems somewhat alien as I feel the uncomfortable drying of my skin and the lightness of the air around me.
Feeling to exposed and unsupported out of the water I quickly slide back down under the surface and sigh with relief as I feel the water embracing me once more as I swim and float in it, enjoying the weightless feeling as it supports me. I swim back through the tunnel and into my new home and start swimming several laps and moving up and down happily enjoying myself.
"I see that you're awake my pet." I turn suddenly at the sound coming from within my ears to see a well dressed man looking through the glass. I swim over and look at him as he smiles.
"I'm glad to see you moving around and enjoying you new home. At one point we weren't sure that you'd make it. When my fishermen found you that plug in your ass had shocked you to death but in doing so it had thankfully drained its batteries so you were brought back." I float in shock, I died?
"After hearing about you I just had to see for myself. I paid off the fishermen to keep them quiet and got you medical attention, you remained unconscious for the whole time due to being so malnourished. I found out who you were, you are officially missing presumed dead by the way, not that anyone is still looking for you two months later and the medical monitoring equipment switched off when you flatlined, so no one who knows what really happened to you even know that you're still alive. Knowing this I decided to keep you and had this special tank built just for you. I hope that you like it." I look at him and nod wanting to keep him happy, I also did kind of like it, it's big enough, is warmer than the ocean was and has no predators, if I'm to be stuck like this then it's better than being lost and alone in the ocean, I also feel a slight level of appreciation for him saving me and feel like I owe him somewhat.
"I had your tail and plug put back on and placed you in here a few days ago and I'm glad to see that you've finally recovered from your ordeal. Speaking of your plug I have full control over it." He holds up a remote and pushes a button, I feel the familiar vibrations deep inside me and moan into my mask and wiggle slightly as pleasure builds inside me. My owner pushes another button and I feel a painful shock flow through my body and remember being caught in the net and helpless as I was pulled out of the water and shocked to death, I look at him with a scared and pleading expression trying to prevent him from doing it again.
"Don't worry, behave and I'll never have to use it. Outside of that the only time you'll get shocked is if you leave your new home, pass the gate and your plug will shock you until you return. Do you understand?" I nod. It looks like I'm still stuck like this underwater, still it seems better than before.
"Here's a welcoming gift." He pushes the button on the remote and I float as waves of pleasure flow through me as my plug roars to life, my tail twitching as I'm brought closer and closer to the edge as my owner watches. I moan with ecstacy into my mask as my cum squarts into the water in full view, as I cum I look at my new owner gratefully. I watch as he leaves and I float resting peacefully, feeling safe for the first time in ages my eyes close as I drift off to sleep, not due to exhaustion like in the ocean but just to rest.
I awake to a loud tapping sound on the glass, the noise echoing loudly through the water. Opening my eyes I see my owner.
"Come upstairs, it's time for dinner." Confused for a moment I remember the tunnel and the other area of my tank and swim down to it. Travelling through I gracefully curve up out of the tunnel and straight up to the surface. Crawling onto the rock I'm met by my owner who places down a large bowl of food and removes my mask freeing my mouth for the firat time in a long while, the air tasting much more different, less artificial, more alive with smells and tastes floating in the air. Starving my empty stomach rumbles at the stight and smell of the food and without the use of my hands I lower my head down to it and start eating. After so long without food my meal tastes delicious as I try to savour it rather than scoff it all down. As I eat I fail to notice my owner taking off his trousers and sitting down in front of me with his legs in the water. Finishing my meal I look up to say thankyou and see him sitting in front of me with his cock out and towering out of his underwear.
"I see that you enjoyed your meal, time to say thankyou." Not wishing to anger my owner I crawl up to him and slide my mouth over his cock, as I begin to suck I feel the plug in my ass come to life encouraging me to continue. I greedily take his cock deep into my mouth and feel his cock twitch and his warm cum fill my mouth, as it does I moan as my plug brings me to orgasm once again. Lost in bliss I swallow down his cum and don't say anything or fight as my mask is sealed back on and he leaves. Feeling full I happily dive back into the water, the taste of his cum lingering in my mouth as I swim down to my new home.
Epilogue:
I sit on the rock and playfully flick my tail back and forth in the shallow water creating tiny waves as my owner brushes my hair, removing all the tangles out of it, as he does I taste the mint in my mouth from its recent cleaning. I enjoy our weekly grooming sessions together, I enjoy the love and attention my owner gives me and not being separated from him behind the thick glass of my tank, which can sometimes feel a bit isolating. Part of me wishes that I could be with him outside my tank all the time but I know that I'm just his pet merman, if I wasn't he wouldn't be interested in me, so to be with him I have to remain his prized possession in my watery world behind the glass. Plus I'm so used to living underwater I'm not sure I could live on dry land all the time, even now the feeling of my drying skin is urging me to dive under, back into my fish tank.
"How are you feeling? Any issues?" I smile as he checks that everything is alright.
"Everything is fine, thankyou." Really it is, I feel healthy and the tank is clean and warm, what more could I ask for? At first there were some issues, like the water temperature, changing my dirt to high fibre liquid meals to filter my waste easier, finding the right balance of cleaning chemicals, adding more items to my tank so I don't get unstimulated, but slowly all the issues of keeping a human alive and healthy in a fish tank were worked through.
"That's good to hear, I would hate for my special pet to not be happy." I feel him adjust the tight gold band around my neck slightly, making sure that the emerald gem is facing forwards. The collar was a one year anniversary gift, it is made of gold and is very light so doesn't interfere with my swimming that much or corrode in the water, it came in two pieces that once closed around my neck and clicked together they permanently became one solid band. I remember feeling very loved and valued on that day, aside from my tail and gloves it's the only thing that I wear and I love proudly showing it off.
"There we go, now you look perfect." He lightly turns my head to look at him and I lean in and give him a thankful and passionate kiss and smile at him.
"You know every time you smile like that it makes me sad to put you mask back on." I stay still as he places my tight mask back over my mouth and nose, sealing my smile away and making me mute again. He gently caresses my face.
"Now I have some guests tonight and they'd love to see you and possibly meet you. Be a good boy for me." I nod, of course I'll be good and show off to his guests, my owner lovers to make people jealous of his favourite special pet, with all the money in the world none of them can get a pet like me and my owner knows it. I watch sadly as my owner gets up and leaves, shutting the gate behind him. Left alone I turn and dive down back into the water and happily swim down into my watery home.
I spend sometime waiting and floating in the water but I smile behind my mask as I see my owner walk in with several guests and guiding their attention towards me as I float in the water in full view. After giving them a good look at me I swim around my tank and show off a bit, twirling and looping as I swim before coming to a rest by the window again amd seeing all the guest look on impressed at my owner for having such an amazing and unique pet. I hear my earpieces switch on and listen carefully.
"What a wonderful specimen you have."
"Would you like to see him." I see him gesture towards the stairs at the side of my tank.
"Right this way." I wait until they are no longer in view and quickly dive down into the tunnel and swim up an onto the rock where I wait for the guests to arrive, excited to be touched by them and maybe even taste their cum.
I awake on the rock, I normally sleep up here to allow my smooth hairless skin to dry out and remain healthy, I find thr feeling of my skin drying uncomfortable but it is necessary. Since waking up here I haven't grown any body or facial hair, I'm guessing that my owner did something while I was unconscious but it would probably not help my swimming to grow it, you never see a hairy professional swimmer. I stretch out before diving into the water and into my main tank. I happily swim around as several small fish pass me, a gift added by my owner after I said I was a bit lonely, they did help fill the space and I enjoy watching them. I expertly swim through a hoop, weave between the rocks and seaweed, circle around a jet of bubbles lit by a rainbow of LED lights and swim around the inside of a fake castle placed at the back of the tank, enjoying the exercise and being underwater. My owner has added several different items into my home over the years, rewards and gifts, he is kind and thoughtful of me and my needs and I love him for it. As I swim I watch my owner wake, as he gets up I swim over to the glass and look at him lovingly as he smiles at me.
"Are you hungry?" At this he walks off and excited I swim down and through the tunnel. I love when my owner feeds me, both my meal and when I say thankyou.
