in too deep
Dive into a world where marine biology meets myth and forbidden desire. Lena Luthor has fled her family's legacy to fix the destruction her brother left behind at a coastal research institute. But when she discovers a secret that could change everything - a real mermaid - her scientific skepticism battles with undeniable attraction. Meanwhile, the bright, sunny journalist Kara Danvers keeps appearing in her life, stirring feelings she thought she'd buried. Between dangerous experiments, government secrets, and two compelling connections pulling her underwater and ashore, Lena must navigate treacherous waters where science and fantasy collide - and decide which world she truly belongs to.The research lab hums with quiet activity around me, but all I can focus on is the warmth of Kara's body beside me as we lean over the microscope together. Her hair falls forward, brushing my cheek, and I inhale sharply at the contact. The scent of her coconut shampoo mixes with the salt air drifting in from the open window, creating a heady combination that makes my pulse quicken.
"What do you see?" she asks, her voice low and close to my ear. I can feel her breath against my neck, sending a shiver down my spine despite the laboratory's comfortable temperature.
I force my attention back to the slide - sea turtle tissue showing remarkable regeneration - but my peripheral vision keeps drifting to her hand resting near mine on the counter. Our fingers almost touch, and I find myself wondering what it would feel like to lace them together.
"It's incredible," I manage, my voice slightly hoarse. "The cellular regeneration is unlike anything I've ever seen. It's like the tissue is being... rewritten."
Kara shifts beside me, turning her head so our faces are inches apart. Her blue eyes lock onto mine, and suddenly the scientific breakthrough seems far less important than the way her lips part slightly as she stares at me. The air crackles between us with unspoken tension.
"Lena," she says softly, her gaze dropping to my mouth for a fraction of a second before returning to my eyes. "There's something I need to tell you about the samples..."
Before she can continue, the lab door swings open. Alex strides in, her expression serious. "We need to talk. Now. It's about your brother's research." Her eyes dart between Kara and me, and I wonder if she can sense the charged atmosphere between us.
Kara pulls back slightly, breaking the spell, but her shoulder still presses against mine - a deliberate contact that sends heat pooling low in my stomach. "What is it, Alex?"
My heart races as Director Danvers approaches, knowing whatever she's about to say will change everything. And as I glance at Kara from the corner of my eye, I realize with a jolt that whatever comes next, I don't just want her help - I need her. In ways that go far beyond scientific collaboration.
