Sienna was walking with Tyrell in the Tiger Castle garden, he hugged her tightly and looked into her eyes. He bend to her and was about to kiss her. Then Sienna woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room. She dazed up in disbelief. She blinked her eyes and remembered that she is in the Scorpion King's room. She fell asleep before he came back. She got up slowly, and got ready, she washed her face and got dressed, brushed her hair and put some lip balm on. Sarcos had lots of cosmetics, but she was not sure what was for what, so she needed to ask him better before she tried it on. She opened a few pots, they smelled good, but there were no symbols on the pots. "I must learn from him how to make that lip-balm, it felt so nice. I can surely use some face cream too. And shampoo, if he could make a shampoo that would be like awesome."Sienna sighed. She ran fingers across the soft skin on her cheeks. She missed her cosmetics.
Sarcos left her three dresses on the chair, one was a black silk dress, it was decorated with golden trinkets, one was a pink and silvery velvet gown and one was a light embroidered beige silky tunic with a golden belt. Sienna felt quite fresh in the morning, so she chose the beige tunic with a gold belt. Sarcos left her also golden scorpion sandals, so Sienna was thinking if she can go out. Anyway, she put them on. She looked in the mirror satisfied. The beige long silky tunic, make her pale skin serene and the golden belt showed off her waist. Her golden hair were framing her face innocently. She looked like a soft ethereal being. She should seduce him looking like this. She smiled at the notion.
Sarcos was not pushy at all and she liked it. It was like a game to her. She wanted to see how long he would be able to resist her. Sienna decided to go out. She tried to open the door of the room, and it opened easily this time, she was not locked in. She saw the two guards in front of the door." Good morning," she smiled at them. It was Sid and one new guy, she did not know. Sid looked at her in a daze. "Good morning, queen Sienna, would you like me to escort you to the gardens?"
"The gardens?"Sienna asked, she did not expect gardens in the desert. "Yes please," she smiled. Sid led her short walk via the maze and opened the wooden door, "Here my queen."Sienna stepped inside and stood in surprise after a few steps. Sid stood behind her and watched her golden hair shining in the morning sun.
The garden was full of palms and big flowers bathing in the early daylight, it had butterflies and fountains. It has a small pergola with flowers around it, and a lake with the birds in it. It looked like a little paradise in the desert and Sienna was enchanted.
Suddenly a thought ran through her head."Where is the king?" Sienna asked Sid. "He is on the training grounds. If you walk straight and then turn right you will find him."Sid smiled and followed behind her. She walked on the stoned path till the two ways were open in front of her. The left one was to the gardens and the right one to the big sporting ground covered in sand. Sienna heard the noises so she turned towards the sporting grounds. She saw a white linen gazebo shining in the sun and sandy sporting grounds behind it. She walked closer with her eyes open wide with curiosity. She saw two warriors fighting together in a sparring session. Their glistening muscular bodies were tangled in the fight and Sienna heard the blunt noise of hard punches. She watched mesmerized. Then she noticed that one of them was the Scorpion King. Sarcos was training with his mates. Sienna smiled and stood motionless. Her eyes were glistening, her skin felt tingles all over, her lips open a little and she watched him in a daze. She could appreciate Sarcos's power. His body was covered in muscles which were hard as an iron armour. His black long hair were flying behind him. Sid stood next to Siena and said, "Our king practice every morning with the best fighters here. He always fights ten warriors for training.
Sienna nodded."He is very impressive." She whispered."Sid smiled under his nose, he could see the queen likes his king and was happy for him. His king deserved the best and this queen was the best.
Sid looked at Sienna, "My queen, come sit under the gazebo, so the sun will not burn your delicate skin."Sienna nodded and followed Sid inside the gazebo as in a dream. Her eyes were fixed on the fights. She slumped onto silken cushions and watch the king in a daze.
Sarcos noticed Sienna a while ago but had few more warriors to fight. He decided to make it faster and call them all at the same time. He wanted to spend time with Sienna.
Sienna felt someone gazing at her and she noticed that big warrior who said he was the strongest, Leander. He was staring at her with a grin. Sarcos finished with his opponents and noticed Leander staring at Sienna. Sarcos looked at Sienna, who turned to him and smiled. Then he called Leander and a few others to fight him. They attacked Sarcos with the swords and Sarcos had a sword as well. He was so fast Sienna could not even see his movements, it was all blurred and he seem invisible at the times. Suddenly everyone was on the floor and just Sarcos stood there holding his sword. Sid told to Sienna:" My king has no patience today, normally he plays with them longer. I think he wants to spend more time with you."
Sienna smiled. Sid was standing next to her." My queen, the last fight the king will do in his scorpion form, so don't be scared," he said to her and nodded his head to Sarcos. He saw the queen was warned. Sarcos did not want to scare her. Sienna did not move and sat motionlessly.
Sienna watched how Sarcos turned into an enormous black scorpion with golden pincers. She gasped and hugged a silken cushion on her lap. She has to be so careful with him, he is way too dangerous than her mates. Tyrell changed into a tiger was cute and cuddly to her, through dangerous to others. Sharchan in his snake form was rude, beautiful and scary, but Sarcos looked like walking death. Sienna did not think she would dare to go near him in this form. His other warriors changed into scorpions as well and started to fight. Sienna felt like in the prehistoric animal documentary movie. She watched them with her hand over her face, just her eyes peek out in disbelief. Sarcos noticed she is scared, so after a while, they changed into half-human form, and then back to human form. Sienna was watching with open eyes how Sarcos easily subdued his warriors. His strength was unchallenged. When they finished, the standing warriors bowed to each other and went to take care of the injured ones.
Sid looked at worried Sienna and said."King tries not to hurt his warriors when sparring, but when they are not careful or are too slow, they got hurt, but have no worries my queen, nobody died today."
Sienna nodded and her heart felt squeezed into a tiny ball. She was worried about being a Sarcos mate now, even though she was impressed by him and kind of liked him.
She saw Sarcos throw a bucket of water on him and took his towel, he dried a bit and went to see Sienna. She saw Sarcos walking toward her and gulped. She hugged the cushion tighter and tried to look strong. She tried to forget what she has just seen. She looked at his wet body and tried to compose herself. She stood up and went to meet him halfway and smiled softly when he came closer.
Sarcos saw she is a bit shaken, but she still like him, so he was pleased. He will try to coax her a bit to show her he is not that scary, to her only of course. He came closer to Sienna and gazed in her eyes curiously."Good morning Sienna." He touched his heart.Sienna curtsied a bit and say " Good morning, Sarcos."With a sweet smile.Sarcos smiled at her and Sienna mustered her courage, "Your fighting is impressive."She said. "You were almost invisible."Sarcos nodded."I'm happy you like it, but when I fight for real, I'm invisible, that was just sparring. I don't want to hurt my men much."
"Do you get to fights often?" she asked him. "Depends, "he looked at her with curiosity."Is she worried about her mates, now?" His heart clenched jealousy hard. His facial expression went serious and Sienna panicked. He has to try to be more gentle, he thought. Sienna is a bit sensitive.
"Let's have breakfast together," he offered her his arm. Sienna took it with a nervous smile, and Sarcos could feel her body tremble a bit." Are you scared?" he asked her. She shook her head." I never saw scorpions fighting before." she whispered.
"I will never hurt you, Sienna, "he held her waist reassuringly and smiled. She looked at him with big serious eyes. He led her to the wooden carved pergola, where were soft carpets and silken cushions with a low table. He sat next to Sienna and held her in his lap. She let her head fall on his shoulder lightly." I really like you, Sienna, you don't need to be wary of me. Just relax. "he petted her hair. Sienna felt like his lapdog, but she started to feel better. He turned her face to him and smiled at her. She smiled back and he pecked her lips gently."Here, have some fruit." He put a piece of grape in her mouth. "I heard that you like eating the fruits and cooked rice..."He said to her.
"Yes, is true," Sienna nodded.
"I heard that you are afraid of spiders."Sarcos said and his eyes pierced her face.
"Who from?" she asked. She knows only Sharchan or Tyrell would know that.
"Your mates were here yesterday. Tyrell told me."He watched her face closely.
Sienna smiled."Tyrell is right. "
"You don't need to be scared of anything with me," Sarcos said.
"I know." she smiled. Then her face got more serious. He could sense a bit of sadness.
"Did you see Sharchan too? Was he very angry? "She bit her finger nervously while asking him.
Sarcos looked at her closely." Is she scared of Sharchan?" he thought.
"Sharchan was poisoned," Sarcos said coldly.
Sienna's face went pale and tears went to her eyes."What? Is he alive? Will he be ok?"
Sarcos looked at Sienna. She loves Sharchan then too."Yes, he would. But if he did not come here yesterday he will surely die after some time of being a crazy snake."
"Did you find out he was poisoned?"Sienna asked, she was thinking Scorpion King should be good with that.
"Yes, his brother tried to poison him. But he will be getting better now." Sarcos said nonchalantly. He did not like to talk about her mates much, but he had to let her know they are alive, so she can relax.
"Thank you," she said and smiled sweetly at him.
"So you made a deal with my mates?" She tried to find out innocently.
"Yes," Sarcos nodded.
"Good," Sienna smiled. She started to eat happily.
Sarcos looked at her. "She did not ask what the deal was...is she not curious?" he thought.
Sarcos looked at Sienna, "Why do you think I took you?"
"Because you were curious about me? " she replied sweetly.
"And why do you think I still hold you now?"
"Because your curiosity is deepened more ."Sienna smiled and relaxed her back at the cushions.
"How long would it take to satisfy my curiosity?" Said Sarcos and moved closer to Sienna.
"A lifetime," she said seriously.
"Why so long?"Sarcos asked
"Because I'm changing as the time goes.."Sienna smiled.
"Will you accept me as your mate ?" he looked at her closely and his lips almost touched hers.
"Would you not keep a rare diamond if you found one?" Sienna smiled.
"Do I look like a diamond to you?" he asked her curiously.
"Your eyes do sparkle like deep dark diamonds," she smiled," but it is the mystery behind the man I like to uncover."
"It will take you more than a lifetime, "he smiled.
"I take my chances."Sienna smiled."Yes, I would love to have you as my mate. I do like you."
"I will protect you with my life."Sarcos looked at her seriously and kissed her hand.
Sienna gazed at him and smiled. Sarcos felt like her lips are luring him to kiss her. He slowly bent to her and tasted her lips, they were fresh from the fruits she has eaten. He kissed Sienna fiercely.
She thumped under his weight into the soft pillows. She put her hands around his neck and kissed him. He is going to be her mate now. She just got herself three kings in this world. Sienna was smiling in her head. She liked Sarcos.
