The new cold morning came. Sienna woke up excitedly. Ramse was sitting in the armchair, thinking.
"Good morning, Ramse."Sienna sit up."Tell me everything!" she looked at him in expectation.
"I have something for you."Ramse came to her bed and held his closed hand in front of her.
"What is it?"Sienna asked curiously.
"A clue!" Ramse smiled gently. He opened his hand and the golden locket was shining on his palm.
"A necklace?"Sienna pick it up a bit surprised.
"A locket. Open it!"Ramse chuckled.
Sienna opened the locket and took out the paper. She unwrapped it carefully. "He is coming back!" her eyes glittered with tears of happiness. "Sarcos!" she stared at the small note and her all being beamed.
"Thank you!"Sienna kissed his cheek.
"Come eat and get ready!"Ramse looked at her seriously.
"As you say!"She jumped out of the bed dancing happily to the bathroom."He is coming, he is coming!"
Sienna put on a new warm wine red velvet dress and eat her breakfast. Ramse made her oat porridge with fruits again. She was very grateful to him. It will be so much harder if they do not stay to help her out.
Later on, Ramse decided to brush her hair. He really enjoyed doing that. He stared at Sienna's happy expression and bit his lips. He put down the hairbrush and picked tiny tin with lipgloss. He smeared it on her lips seriously."Sienna, you need to kiss him!"
"What?Who?"Sienna looked at him innocently.
"You need to kiss Mathyas!"Ramse repeated seriously.
"But I do not want to! He is behaving like a little boy and he eats snakes!"Sienna looked at him horrified.
"Just touch his lips for a start, you don't need to go all the way yet..."Ramse tried to ease her."It will be eighter him or his father, Sienna. Mathyas promised to wait with mating, so he is the better option for now."
"Why are you telling me this? Mathyas feels like a little scary brother to me. I still kind of like him, but not in that way." she looked a bit broken."I really hope you can take me away before he or his father get their hands on me."She teared up.
"I know," Ramse sighed. "I'm sorry to force you but you need to wake up a man in him. We need him to protect you more. His father is really after you. We need to make him more excited for you or he will just give you to the old king... given his savage mother will not eat us all!"
"Do you think Thyasse will try to eat me again?" Sienna asked with wide-open eyes.
"You or Xander. Did you see how she stared at him?"Ramse bit his lips.
"No!"Sienna shook her head.
"Well, I did, if not you then he will be the next meal if Mathyas do not man up a bit."Ramse bit his lips."Then me, then you."
"Oh, no!"Sienna stared in shock.
"Only you can save us if you seduce him a little. Sarcos and Sharchan ordered you not to refuse the kings, no? So play a bit with him."Ramse said hardly.
"But what if he will want to mate? I know Sarcos told me to mate him, but they don't want to be a family, so I'm just confused. I really do not want to be his mate or his father's toy."Sienna held her head in her hands.
"I will not let him mate you ever!"Ramse looked at her.
"Thank you," Sienna nodded. "So how do you want me to do this?"
"Just keep it natural. Let him take the lead."Ramse nodded.
Sienna looked in the mirror. She stared at Ramse's face."I can't do it, no way. He drinks horse blood!"
"Just do as I say."Ramse bit his lips."It is a part of our plan of how to keep you alive." he crouched really close to her.
Sienna cringed her face. Ramse picked her cheeks into his hand and press it gently, puckering her lips in the process.
"You kiss him lightly or I will kiss you all the way. "he grinned suddenly."I will ravage your mouth so deeply you will be not talking for a day!"
"You are so forceful!"Sienna talk a bit like a fish...but his touch felt somewhat safe.
"Well, it's working!"He grinned."I need to use my time well before I and Xander go..." he let go of her face and stood up.
"Go?"Sienna hugged his waist desperately."You want to leave me here by myself?"She looked at him really pitifully making cute puppy eyes.
"We have no choice just to leave..."Ramse tried to explain.
"I protest!"Sienna interrupted him.
"Just do what I said. We have to leave to come back for you in secret." Ramse whispered to her gently.
Sienna bit her lips and nodded."You are so bad to me, Ramse!" she moaned pitifully.
"Why you are hugging me then?"Ramse chuckled entertained.
"Because you are also quite good. And you always know what to do."She sighed.
Ramse smirked at her."That's a good girl, he petted her head gently. "To make it up to you I will take you to make pancakes today, hm?"
"Ok, "Sienna gave him a brave smile.
Ramse went out and Xander came in to guard.
Sienna smiled cheekily at the black panther. She hugged his neck tightly."Xander, thank you for teaching Ramse how to be kind, he is much more bearable." she petted his head.
Xander looked at her with his sparkly eyes."Well, he loves you dearly. He just wants to protect you till he can. "Xander noted."As me." he nudged her with his furry head."My beautiful silly Sienna, you will make yourself fall for your own wishes," he chuckled in his mind.
"Let's go out of this room for a bit, "Sienna sighed.
"Where?"Xander asked.
" Drawing room?"Sienna smiled cheekily.
"You really need a pretty garden Sienna," Xander noted."Why don't you ask Mathyas for one? Don't you miss the fresh air?"
"Why he should do anything for me?"Sienna sighed.
"Because you will be his queen?"Xander asked satirically.
Sienna looked at him cheekily."Maybe, maybe my love is coming."
"Exactly," Xander chuckled."Make a man of him till then. His future queen will be grateful. Ask him for a garden. We do the rest." Xander noted.
Sienna went with Xander to a drawing room. She sketched the panther a bit just for fun."You are so handsome panther Xander," she chuckled.
"Last time you said I'm handsome."Ramse came inside the drawing room."I was looking for you. You almost gave me a heart attack, I was worried you both are eaten already."Ramse chuckled a bit nervously."Come, I came to take you cooking."Ramse smiled gently.
"Pancakes?"Sienna said excitedly.
"Yes, given you listened to Xander well."Ramse looked at her seriously.
"How can I not listen to him, he is so cute!"Sienna chuckled."Let's go."
"You have work to do Xander," Ramse smirked at the panther. He wanted him to go check out the secret tunnel! Panter growled and went out.
Ramse went with Sienna down the corridors. They passed her room and bumped into Mathyas. He was just about to visit her!
"Mathyas!"Sienna smiled sweetly."We are going to make pancakes." she beamed happily.
"You should not wander down the corridors in lower parts."Mathyas looked at her firmly.
"I'm going with Ramse, is ok, no? You can join us if you like." she smiled at him.
Mathyas frowned his face."I don't eat pancakes!"
"But I really need something sweet, so see you later then."Sienna strode down by herself!
Ramse looked at Mathyas."Just come with us, you need to show her that you care!"Ramse whispered. "I cleared the kitchen of everyone, nobody will see you there anyway!"Ramse said quietly. He had a plan in his mind! Ramse cath up to Sienna fast."Wait for me or you get eaten." he hissed jokingly."Mathyas is coming with us, so be sweet as a pancake or I will put a spoon of salt in them!"
"As you say, chef."Sienna giggled.
Mathyas walked slowly behind them thinking."What is so exciting about some pancakes anyway?"
Finally, the three of them entered the huge kitchen. Ramse picked Sienna up and sat her on the big massive table."Stay here and do not move." he ordered her.
"Yes, chef!"Sienna chuckled.
Ramse shook his head and opened her cupboard. He picked the ingredients and started to cook. Mathyas stood next to Sienna and watched him work.
Sienna bit her lips and glanced at Mathyas's face. He looked so stern and serious. His shiny red eyes and long black hair. How am I supposed to kiss him? He is so vampire-like!" she thought.
Mathyas looked at her and she smiled a bit. The scent of pancakes filled the air and Sienna closed her eyes. She inhaled the scent of cinnamon pancakes and felt at home. Ramse watched as she breathed deeply and relaxed. Mathyas watched Sienna's beautiful face in awe.
Ramse took the first pancake and came to Sienna," Keep your eyes closed and open your mouth," he ordered. Sienna did as he said and had a bite, "Mmm, cocoa too...I could love you if you are not so scary grumpy ape... "Sienna whispered mindlessly.
"You are so rude!" Ramse shook his head but chuckled in his mind. "My plan is going forward. And as a bonus, she is really getting used to me!" he thought quite happily.
"Please, just give me more..."Sienna begged as a little kid but did not dare to open her eyes. Ramse gave the plate to Mathyas, "Feed her a bit..." he smirked at him and went to cook more.
Sienna smiled and breathed deeply the pleasant cinnamon scent. Her mind was in her happy place!
"Keep your eyes closed, I will feed you!"Mathyas kissed her forehead gently.
"Ok," Sienna nodded.
"Bite now!"Mathyas put a pancake to her half-open lips.
She bit on the warm fragrant pancake and relished it. "This is so good!"Sienna moaned and smiled. It was so nice, she forgot about everything for a moment.
Mathyas watched her eat and felt her bewildered energy. Her moans made his body react to her! Suddenly Sienna felt the strong hands around her waist and a hard chest. Sienna inhaled the intoxicating scent of Midnight Lilies. She put her head on the man's chest. She felt a hand petting her soft hair gently. She stayed as that and don't move for some time. It felt kind of safe.
Ramse watched as Mathyas held Sienna and kept cooking. "The pancake smell made her relaxed somehow." he thought.
"Try to kiss her, "Ramse whispered to Mathyas and bit his lips.
"How?"Mathyas mouthed silently.
"Just touch her lips with yours for a start."Ramse shook his shoulders." He is so useless!" he laughed bitterly in his mind.
Mathyas kept petting Sienna's hair and kissed her cheek. She smiled and lifted her face as if in a daze. The hot energy passed through Mathyas's body. He felt she was open to him as never before!
He kissed her lips softly and felt a tingling current. It was coming from Sienna. She still did not open her eyes and let him kiss her again and again. She kept her lips almost closed but held her head up relaxedly, thinking and smelling pancakes, cocoa and cinnamon in the air mixed with Midnight Lilies and somewhat gentle kisses.
"One for Sharchan, one for Tyrell, one for Marco , one for Sarcos, one for Ziran, one for Xander, one for R...am...amhm ,no! One for Sharchan, one for Sarcos, one for Sarcos, one for Sarcos, one for Tyrell, one for Sharchan, one for Marco, one for Sarcos, one for the kiddy sorcerer, one for Sarcos, one for Sarcos....." I'm not fair at all!" she chuckled in her mind... she thought of her mates as she held her head up in a daze.
Mathyas felt a strong urge to mate, his body was waking up to the new feeling really fast.
Ramse watched upset but satisfied. "Sienna listen really well today, I think that is enough, let's not push it and feed my little tigress." he thought. "Let's eat, till it will go cold, "Ramse finally noted and placed a full plate of cocoa pancakes in front of Sienna. Mathyas smiled gently. He felt as if he won.
Sienna opened her eyes and blinked at Mathyas all dazed. She smiled and took the plate from Ramse. She swing her legs from the table and ate the warm pancakes. She looked like a happy kid.
Sienna smiled at Mathyas and Ramse."Thank you. This was exactly what I needed."She looked at Mathyas, but Ramse knew it was meant for him.
Mathyas watched her in a daze. He was feeling his heart flutter, he really enjoyed feeling her hot full lips."Ask for anything you like," he smiled happily.
Sienna looked at him cutely as a spoiled child."Would you make me a little garden, so I can go out for a walk every day, please?"She smiled gently."Then we can walk together and hold hands." she smiled seductively.
Mathyas looked into her blue eyes."Sure, you will have a garden tomorrow." he ran his hand on her cheek.
"Thank you."Sienna smiled sweetly.
Ramse smiled sneakily, "She did quite well!" he thought.
Sienna felt excited, strong and a bit wild."I need to keep well for Sarcos. He told me not to refuse kings, so he will get what he asked for! I will get all of them if he will be late! Then he can deal with it!" she thought a bit revengefully.
