many years.” Coal folded his arms across his chest.
“I cannot speak for Blaze. My king will have my head.”
“Excuses, excuses. I’m pretty sure he found them lacking and decided not to go anymore.”
Flame cocked his head. “Could be that the opposite is true. You will have to ask your brother for an explanation sometime.”
“I have,” Coal said. “I’ve asked him on several occasions but he’s tightlipped about the subject.” He allowed his gaze to drift across the sea of males before spotting the water king. The air king was not in attendance. Blaze had banned him from taking part. Served him right. None of this would be happening if it weren’t for Thunder’s insolence. If Blaze had been allowed to take one of the fertile princesses, Coal would not be here right now.
Flame bumped shoulders with him, bringing his focus back to the conversation. “Like I said, I can’t speak for your brother but I can definitely speak for myself. I have enjoyed each and every stag run, each and every human female that has shared my bed. They love us, can’t get enough of us. And I can say without one ounce of doubt that I feel the same way in return.” His face had taken on a dreamy look. “I fucking love human females.”
Coal smiled. “Good luck to you, my friend.” They clasped wrists. “I hope that it does not come down to the two of us and the last female, because I will win.”
“It seems like such a waste.” Flame frowned deeply. “You don’t even want a human.” Then he laughed.
“What’s so funny?” Coal asked.
“If you do get your hands on one, I wish I could be a fly on the wall.” He chuckled. “You must remember that she won’t understand that you are royalty. She won’t be so quick to do your bidding. Human females are a strange species. Although they are attracted to us, they often fight their desires and needs. It will mean nothing that you are a fire prince. You will probably need to win her over.”
Coal frowned. “Yeah, Blaze has also warned me of that. I’m not sure how to go about it.”
“Be honest. Try and be nice to her.”
“Nice,” he growled. “I’m not sure what you mean. I am nice, I always made sure that Scarlet was satisfied. That she had the things that she needed, that’s nice isn’t it?”
Flame shook his head. “No. You would need to tell your human that she is beautiful and special. You need to make her feel needed, valued and respected. You would also need to mean it when you say it. Sincerity is key.”
“She will be mated to the prince. Of course she will be all of those things. As to being beautiful, I doubt that a human would be attractive to me, but I will do my best to see the good qualities in her.” Coal meant it. He took his position seriously. The king had given him a task. He would fulfill it even if it killed him.
“That is a start my friend but first, you must beat me to it.” Flame slapped him on the back. “I can only pray that this hunt is a success and that there are many more in the future.”
“Blaze is concerned at the methods used to obtain these females. He doesn’t like that they have been brought here against their will. He says that it is not right and although I’m not a huge fan of humans, I have to agree with him.”
“These females had bad lives. We have rescued them. They will be loved and cherished. I’m sure that they know that. They will welcome us with open arms.” Flame smiled.
Coal didn’t know what to think. He had no clue what to expect. He had heard from the males that humans found dragon shifters attractive. That they were drawn to their big size and muscular frames. Females would often beg males to be allowed to return with them to dragon territory. Of course, they didn’t know exactly what it was they were asking since the males posed as foreigners from another country. Coal couldn’t help but to smile while thinking about how they would react if they knew that the males were shifters.
