Sarcos looked at Sienna seriously. "There is no choice, Sienna. The one who scattered the crystals to your world is after you and I have to protect you. Only I and Mathyas can fight him because we have magic. But I need to level up in case he will get to you somehow and kill you. I need to know the way how to bring you back to life!"Sarcos bit his lips painfully.
"I still do not agree." Sienna bit her lips.
Sarcos held Sienna's face in his hands gently."Take it as a game, if I win, you come home with me, if not, you stay with Mathyas." Sarcos said a bit painfully."You will become his mate, love him, have his children and stay alive for me." he clenched his teeth hard.
"Are you ok?"Sienna asked truly shocked." You don't want to be family with each other, but you want me to be his mate and have his children?"
"Yes, because he is the only one who can protect you apart from me." he nodded convinced with his ridiculous plan!
"Then you can stay with me, no? Just don't risk getting killed."Sienna looked sweetly at him.
Sarcos shook his head stubbornly, "I need to level up. I wowed my life for you, I have to do it! If you die, I will destroy everything." he said darkly.
Sienna looked at him as at the madman."Please do not destroy everything! I will do anything you want." Sienna bit her lips, trying to calm him down. She feared off his power suddenly!" But please, don't get yourself killed, think it over again, for me." she said gently touching his face.
"I will."Sarcos nodded. He hated to see her so worried. "Just don't blame us."He hugged her tight."Let's take this matter as closed and talk no more of it."
Sienna swallowed hard, she felt as if her head will explode. She felt scared that she can lose Sarcos. It was making her insecure and a bit crazy.
"Sarcos? Can we go eat something sweet? I need to calm down."Sienna bit her lips and looked at him all shaken.
Sarcos chuckled and picked her into his arms. "Let's go check out the kitchen." He smiled. He wanted to feel Sienna close in his arms. He strode with her in the dark corridors and Sienna felt safer. She held Sarcos's shoulder and smiled sweetly."You are so handsome, my Scorpion King." She kissed his lips gently. Sarcos kissed her back passionately as they walked. Suddenly he stopped abruptly. They almost bumped into Ramse and Xander!
"You seem preoccupied?"Ramse chuckled, "You almost flattened us to the ground."
"Yes. You will not even notice." Xander stared at Sienna in his hands." But I don't blame you." he sighed jokingly and shook his head.
Sarcos just stood there, his lips curled up. Sienna was chuckling in his arms, and he find it cute.
"Sarcos, is your queen not too heavy?" Ramse joked.
"As a feather!" Sarcos chuckled and threw Sienna in the air a bit. She screamed playfully."Aaa, I'm scared!"She held Sarcos's neck tightly as he caught her back in his embrace.
Then she looked at Ramse with furrowed brows."Am I heavy?! Sienna asked in surprise to Ramse. She had a curvy body, but she did not consider herself that big.
"Not to me or Xander." Ramse chuckled."But King Mathyas think so."He smirked cheekily.
"That's fine, he is quite slim, maybe that is why he is not so strong like you three."She nodded her head and chuckled, hugging Sarcos's neck and kicking her legs in the air playfully. "Come eat something sweet with us, I'm so heavy anyway, maybe you two will need to help Sarcos to carry me back. I'm quite hungry." she laughed a bit crazily.
Two scarlet red eyes were watching the laughing group from the shadows of the wall with quiet anger! Mathyas would not be mocked! He hated that Sienna called him weak!
Ramse and Xander chuckled innocently. Sarcos smiled cheekily. He knew Mathyas is watching them!
Sarcos kissed Sienna deeply." You are not heavy at all, you are just right."
Sienna cuddled up to Sarcos as a cute kitten. Sarcos continued to walk to the kitchen and Ramse with Xander followed. They were bored in Gaius's palace anyway, so had nothing to do.
Sarcos sat Sienna on the kitchen table and hugged her waist lovingly. He could not get her hands off her!
Ramse with Xander found some dates, sweet fruits and rice. Ramse glanced at Sienna who tried to slide off the table."You, don't move. I will cook tonight!" he pointed at her, "We don't want to burn down Gaius's palace! He just become a king!"
"Don't you worry, Sarcos is here, the fire has no chance tonight!"Sienna smiled cheekily.
"That is true, but I just want to hold you. You look so nice at the table. You will be my tasty dessert."Sarcos chuckled and hugged her waist kissing her deeply.
" Keep it for later, "Ramse growled a bit annoyed. He wanted at least to chat with her as he cooked.
"Yes, let her eat first, she was out all day. "Xander noted."Where were you Sienna, anyway?"
"Flying, swimming and freezing..."Sienna counted on her fingers cutely.
"Aww, I like to go swimming too," Xander noted. The black panther loved the water.
"I almost drowned, if Bran doesn't fish me out."Sienna bit her lips.
"How could you?"Ramse furrowed his brows seriously."Why we did not follow them then?" he turned to Sarcos a bit upset.
"Mathyas was there," Sarcos said darkly. He had to show him some trust. If he follow after him, Mathyas would be really enraged! Sarcos knew he will not let Sienna drown. Mathyas could lift the water up with a flick of his finger if he wanted!
"Yes, "Sienna nodded." He helped us a lot, even though I did not see him. He made a puppet from White Lizard King, be careful of him. I don't want you to become puppets!"Sienna said jokingly.
"Ha, ha, Ramse can be a puppet ape!" Xander chuckled wildly.
"Yes, and you stuffed black panther on the string!" Ramse chuckled as he mixed the rice with dried fruits on the fire.
Sarcos smiled. "Is easy not to become a puppet. You just have to concentrate on the one you love and open your heart. The magic will pass thru you and don't affect you." he chuckled.
"But what if you don't love anyone?"Xander asked curiously.
"In that case, your heart is dead anyway and you are already a lifeless puppet." Sarcos nodded seriously."But you two, have nothing to worry about!" he chuckled. Ramse bit his lips and Xander blushed.
"Here, is done!"Ramse gave Sarcos a bowl of warm sweet fruit rice."Feed your dessert." he chuckled.
Sarcos took the little spoon and put it into Sienna's mouth."Here eat, so I can eat you later."He whispered into her ear. Sienna ate it and chuckled. She took the bowl from Sarcos and started to eat hungrily." Thank you, Ramse, is really nice, you are a very good cook." she said approvingly.
"Thank you."Ramse nodded his head. He felt warm in his heart."At least something from me, she likes." he thought. He was working really hard to make Sienna comfortable around him and it seemed Xander's advice is working really well.
"Sienna gobbled up the rice. She ate even more fruit and drank a few cups of minty water. She patted her full belly smiling cheekily."Now, I'm so much heavier!" she chuckled jokingly."I think I will walk with you back."
Sarcos shook his head."No, I'm not letting you off my arms tonight."He scooped her up from the table. Sienna chuckled in his arms as they walked back."Good night, Ramse and Xander, thank you."Sienna called after them as Sarcos carried her back into the dark corridors.
Ramse with Xander exchanged knowing looks.
"The big fight is coming and Sarcos wants to enjoy being with Sienna much as he can, "Xander whispered to Ramse as they went to their rooms.
Ramse nodded and bit his lips thinking.
"What we are to do?"Xander asked.
"Whatever Sarcos will ask us to." Ramse nodded his head worriedly.
Sarcos carried Sienna back to their room."You still owe me a night."Sarcos whispered as he opened the door.
"Whatever you want my love."Sienna opened her lips seductively.
Sarcos smiled and kissed her forehead. He lower her to a bed, but Sienna's hands were still holding his neck tightly."I'm stuck." she whispered and Sarcos just lay on top of her as she pulled him. He kissed her gently. Sienna breathed in his presence, his Neroli flowers scent and was getting so intoxicated, she just wanted to melt into his arms.
Sarcos took her clothes slowly, kissing her body. He took her softly as in a dream. Sienna wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him passionately. The time and place stopped existing. She just felt him around her. The Flaming Scorpion danced with colours in front of her closed eyes as Sarcos invaded her insides.
Sienna felt like flying in the clouds, moaning in pleasure. Her body twitching in ecstasy... Sarcos took a long time, like the night will have no end. He tamed her body gently and Sienna felt as if she is burning under his strong hands. Sarcos's all being just needed to possess her. Sienna breathed deeply and felt like one with him again.
When they finished, Sienna fall asleep tiredly on his shoulder with a soft smile on her lips. Sarcos hugged her tighter and kissed her forehead gently. "You are my life, Sienna. I will do anything to keep you safe!"He held her on his chest and fall asleep too. The Flaming Scorpion in his mind was wide awake."I hate you Sarcos!" he grinned angrily.
