Sienna find herself in a big sandstone room, it was having small arched windows and small glass colourful lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The spacious room had a kind of oriental vibe."Sienna smiled, "Probably the style comes with the sandy desert surrounding them." The floor was covered with red, black and white striped carpets with geometric designs, Sienna found them beautiful. There was a black wood round bed with a black carved scorpion headboard, decorated in gold and crystals. The top was covered in gold silk fabric, with red, black, gold and white silky cushions with gold straps. Sienna stared at it. She felt strange. "Is he sleeping on this bed?" she thought and shivered. She saw his captivating eyes in her mind.
She came to the window and saw a desert staring back at her. The huge stone blocks were making sure the windows are in shade. She breathed in the air and felt hot. She passed around the windows and found the opened door to another room. It was decorated with red and gold tiles and immersed in crystals.
There was a wide round pool, bathtub and there was even a basin with running water on the tap and huge silver mirrors in crystal frames and behind the hidden flap door even a toilet. Sienna stared at it. The scorpion tribe was not that behind, as much she thought. Well, at least the king's palace was pretty luxurious.
Sienna washed her hands and felt the cold water. She stared into the mirror. Her pale face with blue eyes and messy golden hair was staring back at her. Her expression looked somehow bewildered. Sienna looked at herself and wanted to scream. She was still a bit dirty from the sand. It was stuck on her body." How did he even liked me when I look like this?" she thought."I need to wash up straight away if I want to charm him," she thought.
Sienna did not know how much time she got left to get ready and decided to hurry up. She went to the bathtub and fill it with water. It was cold and she was not sure how to make it warm, but she did not care. It was hot and her body was burning in panic. Sienna took off her clothes quickly and jumped into the cold water. She felt that she is alive again and her spirit was lifted"Aaaa, is cold, I love it." she felt a sense of strength in her body and laughed like a child. Then she washed her face and submerge under the water holding her nose. She moved her head in the water to get the sand out of her hair. Her golden hair were floating around her head like a veil in the water.
The Scorpion King entered his room and did not see her. He called her name but heard no response. He furrowed his brows and his heart felt tight. He was surprised by this new feeling. Did she run away? That was nearly impossible. He went to check in the pool and he saw her lying in the bathtub, submerged in the water with closed eyes, her hair spread floating around her, her ears under the water and a blissful smile on her face. Her arms under her head and her breast on display above the water. her white legs were resting on top of the bathtub edge. She lay there with closed eyes as she had no worries in the world.
The Scorpion King's face brightened up. She looked quite comfortable in there. He liked to see her in his room. It felt good. His lips turned into a smile." She looks so stunningly beautiful!" he thought. "She looks more pretty than the mermaids he chuckled. He called her name, but she still did not hear him. He admired the picture for a bit and then he...
...he bend down to her and planted a soft kiss on her pink moist lips. He felt her lips tremble at his touch, she took a breath in and opened her eyes abruptly. She gasped in surprise and sat down broking the kiss. She gazed for a second. Then she chuckled."I'm sorry my king, you startled me''.
The king still feel the soft touch of her lips and his body was burning. He wanted to drag her from the bath and take her right there, but then he stopped himself. He should not rush her, she is not resisting him after all, so he just waits a bit.
Sienna gazed into his wild eyes and remembered she is naked, so she covered her breast with her hands and asked him innocently, "Please my king, can you advise me which of these bottles is the bathing oil? " She pointed at the set of bottles near the bath.
The Scorpion King shook his head, to woke from his daze, "Aaham, all of them are, just took the one you like. I will come later when you finished bathing... "he said in a raspy voice and strode out, trying to collect his thoughts...the picture of her naked body stuck in his mind. "I need to calm down. I'm the one in control. I have to control myself. I can't let her to see me as an impatient teenage boy..." he murmured to himself. But that is exactly how he felt when he kissed her. lol
The king left her room and told the two guards, to get some clothes for the queen, then he locked the room and left.
The Ape Prince was watching from afar, his back stuck to the wall. His face cringed in a wicked grin. He will be the one taking that woman and no one else will see her ever again. He will make sure of it. He saw her blue eyes in his mind. He felt his heart burning in rage. He knew where the Scorpion King's room was. Everyone knows him as his friend and business partner, so he can move freely around the castle. He watched the lock combination king chose and then he went to unlock it, as he saw him go.
Sienna used the rose bath oils to wash her hair and body, then she curled into the big white cotton fabric towel, it looked like a huge bed sheet really and went to comb her hair. She stood in front of the mirror near the bed when she heard the lock sound. She furrowed her brows and looked at the door," The king just left, why would he be coming so soon?"
When the door opened, she saw the angry face of the Ape Prince. Her heart froze. Not willing to show her fear, she stood straight, "What are you doing here?" she asked him coldly.
Ramse went into a daze for a moment to see her wrapped in the towel. With her snow-white skin and long wet hair, she looked so fresh...she held the golden hairbrush in her hand and she look so cutely surprised. If he can see her like this every day, he will be a happy man, he felt in his heart.
Ramse looked at her with gleaming eyes, "The Scorpion King send me to kill you."
He expected her to run in panic, but she just looked at him, keeping her distance.
Ramse come closer to her with a serious look on his face and offered her his hand, "But if you come with me, I can save you. I still like you, after all. You will be safe by my side. "He said with a seductive smile.
"You can't trick me," Sienna said... "Rather get out...get out please." her voice sounded a bit scared by now. She was not sure what he will do.
Ramse's face darkened and a wicked smile appeares on his lips. He tried to catch her hand, but she backed off fast and he instead managed to hold onto her towel. Sienna did not want the towel to go, because she did not want to be naked in one room with him, so she tried to pull it out from him.
At that moment the Scorpion King rushed in via opened door.
He saw Ramse holding the queen's towel and her trying to free it. The king met her gaze and she stopped. She looked at him with hope in her eyes. Ramse let her towel go too as it was melted hot iron.
"What are you doing in my rooms Ramse?" he asked him with a dark face.
"Forgive me, my king," said the Ape Prince sleazily. "I found the queen running in the corridors trying to flee, so I brought her back here, so you can punish her my king," he said with pretended humbleness and wicked intent.
The Scorpion King looked at Sienna covered in towels. He could not imagine how can she run corridors in this attire, but was curious at her reaction, so he turned his gaze on her. Ramse was smiling under his nose wickedly.
Sienna fixed her towel wrap and looked at the Scorpion King with her blue tiger-like eyes, it was strength in her look. She had to prove her innocence right now or she is doomed. She slowly went to the bed and picked up a silken white cushion. She placed the cushion at the foot end of the bed. The Scorpion King looked with interest, and Ramse was steaming and staring at what she is doing.
"My king!" Sienna gave Scorpion King innocent look and kept her gaze on him.
Then she sat on the bed, lifted her legs and placed her white pretty feet on top of that white cushion slowly, like precious gems, crossing one foot over another. She supported herself with her hands in a half-sitting position and wriggled her toes playfully, "My King, my feet are clean!''
The Scorpion King looked in a daze and then his lips curled up into an amused smile, "What a clever woman! How could she be running the sandy corridors barefoot and have clean feet? hahaha," he thought and laughed in his head...but The Ape Prince dared to lie to me, bastard...grrrr!" his thoughts went dark.
Making a serious face, Scorpion King looked at Ramse and went to the bed. He sat down next to Sienna's feet and picked them both with his hands. Sienna lost her balance and fell onto the bed into the silken cushions. Her golden hair spread around her face. The Scorpion King did not let go of her feet still and look at them closely. Sienna's face started to turn red, but she stayed there not moving.
Scorpion King put his fingers between her toes and checked each of them extremely slowly and with pleasure, he was playing with them on purpose. Sienna felt her body tremble at his touch. She knew he felt it too, but he appeared unaffected.
"Then he put her feet in his lap and said to Ramse, "Not a speck of sand."
Ramse's face turned dark, and he could not come up with another explanation.
"I spare your life today on the count of your past services. Make sure to stay out of my way if you want to live. Get out now Ramse! "Scorpion King said coldly.
Ramse with a dark face get out of the door and rushed thru the Sand City,"My revenge will be sweeter if she will become your queen my dear scorpion friend!" he said to himself and run to the Oasis in the desert.
