Duke of the South, Zorion.

Later on in the evening, after there walk around the city.

Esther decided to rest on the beach with Dillon by herside.

Esther received notice that Thor would be there by late evening the next day. So she became excited. She couldn't help but think a Killian and Kyrell should there with her as Esther looked out to painted sky that shined over the ocean

Esther sighed " it would be really nice if we all had a place out here".

Dillon spoke up, who was sitting beside her

" Why don't you? If you want, After you've been adopted by the McMillan family. You could probably get a nice mansion out here I'm sure" as Dillon tried to comfort Esther

Esther looked at the other beautiful person who was by her side

" Quite possibly, maybe if we come back, we may." As she thought about the lingering feeling of constantly searching.

" I still have much to learn about this world, so until the time comes for us to all have a home. I have to keep searching for my purpose ." As Esther looked back with a peaceful expression

"Your purpose?" As Dillon thought about it, he too never really thought what his purpose in life was. He was forced from place to place, to always having to serve someone. Even though he was the crown prince of his own nation. All he knew was that, nobody wanted him. Not his country, his family.. even though some had cared enough to leave permit scars. Even though some were invisible.

As Dillon looked at the beautiful woman next to him, he realized how lonely she had seemed in this moment and that maybe he could relate.

So he placed his hand over hers as a source of comfort, that was really meant for both of them. " until you find your purpose, there are those who will do what they can to help you along the way. Including me. So please remember you have others in your back corner."

Esther smiled the most gentle expression, and brought his hand to her lips. " I know. Everytime I meet one of you, someone always tempts me to want to stay and say screw the rest of the world"

"But I know there are also others like you, who are still out there that needs my help. It's funny to me, I never thought that I would be the one helping others. I always lived my life in solitude, and even claimed the throne back home where I was from." As she went on, looking back at the sunset that kissed her skin

" Now that I know the feeling of being surrounded by others who do not fear me for a change. It has had me thinking what I never thought I had wanted." As she looked back Dillon who was listening to intently.

"I also never thought I would have someone listen to me rant as long as you have. " As Esther chuckled

" If anything else, You can talk to me anytime you have something on your mind." As he gently caressed his thump over hers.

" You always seem so full of life, and strong willed. Though I know, you too need someone to listen to you"

"Also" as Dillon continued, I don't know if I told you this. I am also very good at baking sweets. So anytime you something to cheer you up, I can always bring you some warm cookies." As Dillon affectionately looked at Esther

Esther couldn't help laughed as she startled Dillon. She looked back up at him and pressed her hand to his cheek

" Then I guess I'm glad I went to pick you up" as she gazed at his sky blue eyes.

Before anyone could say anything else , they had heard a splash.

Esther had spotted a pair of majestic green and purple fins splashing away, heading towards a giant estate at the other end of the beach.

As Esther still had her hand on Dillon. He had called for her attention as she had forgotten that he was even there for a moment.

" Oh, I'm sorry Dillon. " As she withdrew as she glanced back to the spot where she had seen the commotion that was just caused

Dillon who had embraced for his first kiss, became a little disappointed. As he too looked at the direction which happened to be " His" place.

"Where is that? " As she became curious

"That estate belongs to the Duke of the South." As they looked at the magnificent structure that was basically resting on top of the waters

" Huh" as Esther looked to see if she could find the creature with the beautiful fins.

" There are rumors that the Duke is so fond of sealife, that no one can ever keep him apart from it for long. It's hard to request audience with him, he barely attend social gatherings. The only event he does attend is the Empress's birthday. Who lives in the captial."

" Hmm. Interesting " As Esther watched Dillon explain

After the sun had set. The two set off to go have some dinner at restaurant somewhere.

What they didn't know, was that they were

being followed. Or so, we thought.

After finding a place to eat. They went inside and were seated out on the patio so they can look out to the waters during there feast.

Not long after. A certain man with long white curly hair and emerald green eyes sat at a table across from theirs and had caught Esther's attention.

Esther looked up at this very distinguished beautiful looking man. It was as if he had been a God in his past life, he was so gorgeous.

He had what looked to be noble clothing and his hair had been pulled back, but he had ringlets coming out. His eyes just so happened to locked on Esther, not leaving her site.

Dillon was sitting next to her. could not even pretend to notice he was not there and was absolutely surprised because that was the man he has just talked about.

So he gasped " I can't believe it." As Dillon was just stunned.

Esther found this man absolutely breathtaking, and for the first time. She was speechless. She had no problems talking or seducing the other men in her life. This one though took the cake.

The man who had been curious about Esther since the moment he saw her on the beach, couldn't help but follow her. To him, she has been the most beautiful creature he had ever seen, including his own kind.

As the waiter came out to take Esther's order, of course she had ordered a seafood dinner for her companion and some red wine for herself.

As she spoke, the man listened intently to her voice. The more she interacted and expressed herself. He had wanted to see more of her.

After the waitress had left Esther spoke up to the man " Would you like to join us?" As she glanced back at the man

Dillon startled by her invitation, was taking back as the man had accepted.

The beautiful creature had came over and sat down across from Esther.

"So" Esther who spoke up first " May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" As she met the man's beautiful eyes

"I am Zorion Cove, but you may call me Zoey." as he watched her expressions

"Well, Zoey. The woman you just followed is Called Esther Scarlett" as she curved her lips

"Fascinating" as Zorion became more intrigued. He became amazed at her instincts.

When the waitress brought out Esther's wine and Dillon 's food. "zoey., have you gotten to order yet?"

Zorion smiled as he said " Sex on the beach".

The waitress went to turn his order in

" Oh my Mr. Zoey" as Esther grinned, " I would atleast like to get to know you a bit, before we lay together. Besides, I already have 3 husband's and a 4th one that I am pursuing." As She referred to Dillon.

Dillon was in shock to what she had said... and then couldn't stop picturing making her his bride. He began to blush with his hands pressed to his cheeks.

What came next had shocked him even more " Who knows, maybe I'll take slot number 5. " As Zorion wasn't passing up the the opportunity.

"Well, if you weren't so good looking. I would of killed you by now." As Esther took a sip of her wine

" I would consider it an honor. Dying by such beautiful hands and now that you've said that you are attracted to my looks. I take it that I've gotten in the door? As the waitress brought back Zorion's drink

Esther laughed " your a sweet talker, aren't you? Though I'm not into sweet things. Let's say you do have my attention, what does that mean for me? What can you offer me?"

" I can offer to tell you something no one else knows about. A secret I haven't dared to tell a soul" as He already asked for another refill

" Ha. I too have secrets., what else can you offer me?" As Esther chuckled

" I like that your making me hard to catch you" as he laughed a long with her

"Well, as I've already told you. I already have other mates and they have satisfied me with there gifts and there bodies." Esther being blunt

"So, as I have said. What is it that you can offer me?" As Esther dripped wine onto her bear cleavage, while both men had watched her in there desire of hunger for her.

" Right now, I can offer you my home and bring your 4th husband as well as your others. I know these worlds affairs as well as the one underneath. Women having multiple husband's is only natural. You will be glad to know, I haven't accepted a mate yet myself. So my body has stayed entirely pure. "As his expression became stern but still greedy

Esther filling up on another glass of wine, basically becoming tipsy.

"But my father told me to never follow a stranger home. How do I know you don't want to just kidnap me? As she tried to stay serious

"Honey, everybody who meets you wants to kidnap you." As he drank his other glass

" That is true, lady Amanda couldn't stop talking or thinking about you. The moment she saw you. The same goes for me, although I wanted to go with you instead. " As Dillon nodded in agreement

Esther looked at the two beautiful men before her and chuckled " That's if they can kidnapp me"

"Though... the offer is tempting ." As she began to think

"Well, if I gave you a home as you said you wished earlier. You will be able to live with all of your mates and maybe some straddlers you find along the way."As Zorion stated

"Why? You've never met me before. How do you know I won't sink your home to the ground. I have 2 king dragon mates and Fenrir for husband's, and you don't even know what I am yet. " As Esther trying to resist what she had left

"You can sink it to the ground, I don't care. I want to make you my mate and as well as I don't know what you are. I also haven't told you what I am yet." As he expressed himself. He continued further

" I've just never seen anything like you before, I'm so intrigued by you that I have done things I didn't think I would be doing. The moment I first saw you. it was like I struck with a magnetic force, pulling me in towards you. The little time I have observed you, I have realized how much I wanted to get to know you. Your reactions and expressions are adorable and not to mention you are so beautiful, that it doesn't seem real or that you shouldn't be touched."

After hearing his intense confession, both Esther and Dillon either agreed or was touched.

Dillon too, had realized how drawn he was to Esther.

" Wow." After Esther chugged the rest of the bottle, that was finally brought out.

" if your just saying all this so you can fuck me. It's working" As she blurted out.

Zorion laughed as Dillon became jealous.

" No, I meant all that I said. All though, sharing some bonding time with you is a plus." As Zoey grinned

After thinking it out for a bit. " How about this, Dillon will go back to our room at the Inn. Tomorrow I will come find you and give you my answer. " As Esther came to a conclusion

" I will see you tomorrow then, will you tell me what time you will be coming by?" As Zorion had already been eager to see her again

"How about tomorrow evening? As you said, I can bring my husbands along, he has been traveling from a long way. " as Esther trying to send every obstacle Zorion's way.

" Bring him, bring all of them. We'll all be family anyways." As he didn't even see them as obstacles.

Esther laughed "Your an odd one. Alright tomorrow it is then"

Esther gestured the waiter to come so she could pay the bill. When Zorion held up his hand instead as he looked at Esther. " My treat." As he smiled at the two

Esther sighed.

They all said there farewells for the evening access went they separate way.
