Almost complete
I worked some more on the picture for 
ladyofthesea over the weekend and am nearly finished. Again, it's a sketch of her two characters, Silvanus and Celeste. I really had fun sketching them for her, so here's a look. The image involves mer-boobs, so please don't click with the kiddies around. ~.O (or the boss, unless your boss is fond of merboobies, and really, what boss isn't?)
^^
Not really work safe is what I'm getting at.

***The pleasant echo of the waves hitting the surf trailed after Silvanus as he strolled along the beach, hands in the pockets of his trousers and white, v-necked shirt fluttering open in the breeze. Ice blue eyes traveled to the water’s surface, glittering like diamonds thanks to the full moon’s light, a deep sense of longing coming to mind. By now he knew it was due to his gray elf heritage, but it never ceased to amaze him just how strong the desire to wade into the water truly was. He had believed himself a master of his own instincts, able to use them when and how he wished, when in truth certain instincts held him in sway. In spite of having just returned from several weeks of traveling Empyrean in search of followers, and the lavish celebration banquet Menelaus was hosting, Silvanus’s restlessness brought him to the beach in the hope of finding relief. His absence was acknowledged by Menelaus’s small, knowing smile, but he said nothing. In all the years Silvanus had been working alongside his lord, he knew there was very little he could keep from him.
A stronger wind stirred, tugging at Silvanus’s long hair like playful fingers, sending shivers down his spine. He paused for a moment, closing his eyes as he imagined her hands caressing him in such a way. The mere thought of her sent his pulse racing. She would be here. It had been many weeks since their last meeting, and Silvanus’s haste to return to Avernus had very little to do with his reports to Menelaus. It had everything to do with the solace he could find in her arms. Silvanus opened his eyes, catching sight of waves crashing against a series of rocks scattered along the beach when all at once he saw her.
She was laying belly down just beyond the water line, her hands folded neatly beneath her chin as her elbows rested in the damp sand. The ends of her long tail were occasionally swallowed up by white foam as the waves brushed up against her, leaving glistening trails along her flesh. Violet eyes set beneath arched eyebrows regarded Silvanus with delight, and a smile pulled at her full, sensuous mouth. Silvanus hastened his pace toward her, coming to a stop at her side. She arched her neck up at him, strands of her amethyst hair clinging to the fine bones of her face. The smile widened, and she rolled onto her back, her arms stretched above her head.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” Celeste murmured, eyes that once held delight now flashing with desire. Silvanus settled atop her, his hands going to either side of her head and digging into the sand. Locks of his hair fell past his shoulders, the ends falling just above her bosom.
“These days my travels take me farther and farther away from Avernus,” he replied, trying to keep his voice even but unable to, not in the face of such beauty. Celeste brought her hands up, resting them on his cheeks. She began to gently move them along the contours of his face, either side of his neck, before her fingers slid past the opening of his collar and touched the skin beneath. Silvanus could feel his senses giving way to the spell of pleasure she was weaving, and made a determined effort not to succumb. Not yet.
“Why do you not take me with you?” she asked, her tone pleading. Silvanus knew the answer to that as well as she. With Celeste traveling across the land with him, very little in the way of gathering followers would be achieved. However, thoughts of making love to her any time he wished quickened his breathing, and he felt the familiar ache for her in his loins.
“You have no idea how I wish I could,” he admitted, his voice husky. Celeste smiled up at him. One hand slid from the side of his neck to the back of his head, applying gentle pressure as she eased him closer. Her other glided along his arm, the motion pushing back the material of his shirt as her fingers gripped his elbow tightly.
“Your duty to Lord Menelaus has priority. I know and understand this, but the time we spend apart is so trying…love me, Silvanus. I need you,” Celeste whispered. Silvanus, who was mere inches away from her face, laid claim to her lips, his body on fire for her. She moaned softly as his hands traveled to her breasts, the flat side of his palms gently sliding over their peaks. She arched against him, Silvanus able to feel her tail shift between his knees. He pulled away, knowing she needed the room to change, but her hands pressed against either side of his face, her teeth gently nipping at his lower lip. She didn’t seem ready to relinquish his lips yet, and Silvanus simply let himself go in her arms.
It was at this moment he became aware of her soft moans, only it sounded as if they came from within him. Silvanus focused on the sound, astonished to discover that Celeste’s very thoughts and feelings existed in his mind, mingling with his own. He had no time to dwell on it, let alone ask her, for Celeste’s right hand had traveled down to his abdomen, her fingers sliding past the waistband of his pants. His breath caught in his throat at feeling her take hold of him. He continued to kiss her even as his mind focused on her gentle caresses, until it felt as if he would lose his mind. This time he did pull away, opening his eyes to stare down into Celeste’s flushed face. A coy smile tugged at her lips, which widened when Silvanus took hold of her wrists and pinned them above her head.
Still keeping his left hand secured on her wrists, Silvanus freed himself from his trousers and positioned himself once again over her. He nudged her knees apart with his own, unable to determine when he knew she had taken on her gray elf form. Celeste welcomed him with a soft moan, twining her slender legs around his waist and freeing her hands to bring his face to hers. Silvanus captured her mouth, slowly thrusting inside her while her fingers wove through the silken tresses of his hair. His body began moving on its own, his tongue going past Celeste’s lips to deepen their kiss. She tasted of the sea, her skin felt like silk against his, her soft whimpers of delight served to increase his need. He responded to this by increasing his thrusts, all the months of separation building up inside him.
Celeste wrapped her arms around his neck and arched upward, her head tilting back to expose her throat as her head thrashed about. Silvanus lowered his face so that his lips hovered near her ear, his breaths coming hard and fast to match hers. Her legs tightened around his waist, her hands curled into fists around his neck, as her moans grew louder. Silvanus, his pleasure intensified by hearing her cry out, as well as being able to somehow experience how his movements inside her felt, gripped her to him as his body jerked during his release. He lifted his head and closed his eyes, a guttural moan escaping his lips. Celeste trembled beneath him, her fingernails digging into his skin as she, too, reached her climax. When the world stopped spinning, and the sight of the moon-drenched beach came into view Silvanus lowered his head so that it nestled in the hollow of Celeste’s shoulder. He felt her arms unwind from his neck, sliding down his shoulders to touch his face. She pressed soft kisses to his cheek before nuzzling against him. After a moment Silvanus pulled away, staring down into her dreamy-eyed gaze.
“Did you bond with me?” he asked, his voice low. She smiled and nodded at him.
“Now we will always be together, even when we are apart,” she replied, brushing some of his sweat-soaked hair away from his face. Silvanus didn’t know how to respond to such a gift for a moment. A mermaid who initiated a mental bond with a man meant that she had chosen him as her mate. In spite of the few years he shared with her as her consort, and she as his informant, he never allowed himself to believe she would bond with him. Their physical relationship was both born of necessity and pleasure. While Silvanus delighted in making love to her, he suddenly realized that he wanted more than that. He wanted all of her- her heart, her mind, her soul. And she had given it to him when he least expected it. There was only one show of gratitude he could demonstrate, and as he lowered his face to hers for a kiss he sensed her desire for the same thing. He smiled, deepening the kiss. It was comforting to know he would have someone to share the new world Menelaus planned on creating.***
