Ramse and Xander waited eagerly in the corridor, it seemed ages to them! When Sienna finally slipped out from the Marath's room she was red as a pepper! She just clenched into Ramse's arm and walked back with her head down, biting her lips. Ramse felt her body shaken and led her quickly.
Xander went behind her a bit confused. He felt her energy is wild and that her body wants to mate! "What did he do to her?" he thought a bit worried.
Sienna finally came back to her room. She went straight to the jar with honey. She picked up a little spoon and started to eat it mindlessly.
"So?" Ramse asked curiously.
"I made a deal!"Sienna took the spoon out of her mouth and looked at him a bit wildly."If Sarcos is not coming in two days, I'm going to Sand City with Marath and you two!"
"What?"Xander growled.
"I have no other choice. I can wait here if Sarcos will come back. Marath will protect me till then."Sienna nodded. "If Sarcos don't come in time, I agreed to be his lover as long as he stays nice to me, "Sienna added.
Ramse nodded knowingly, he was expecting that. Marath saved her and won the bet over his son. He was just following his plan.
"Can you stand him as a man?"Xander asked curiously.
"Yes, he is ok. I almost wanted him to mate me back there. My body is going crazy." she sighed.
"Ahm, that is what I felt from her."Xander thought.
"What about Mathyas?"Ramse asked.
"Marath gave me a protective necklace, I hope it works." Sienna sighted."I really need a warm bath right now."
"Sure." The kings nodded.
Sienna went for a bath. "What I just did?"She shook her head."Well, at least I can see Marco, Sharchan, and Tyrrell."She sighed. She lay in a hot water and warmed up. She smelled the fragrant salts from Sarcos."I can wait for you."She smiled. "Safe from Mathyas." Life smelled good again...
Sienna went out of the bath and got ready, she put on a velvet silvery nightgown. It matched her new necklace well.
"Is it not too early for a nightgown? It is still some time to dusk."Ramse looked at her.
"No," Sienna shook her head."I want to draw in my bed and lounge. I'm alive!"She screamed and chucked herself into the bed. She felt as if she was born again.
"Let me help you brush your hair."Ramse took her to the mirror. Sienna put on cream, and lip balm. She could not stop smiling."I live!"
Xander watch her being happy, but he still could not settle on Sienna's deal."Why did you agree to be his lover so fast?"He looked at her.
"He saved my life. "Sienna shook her shoulders."He was pushing Mathyas to be a man with his silly comments, but Mathyas failed. He was too cruel and forceful. He didn't decide with his heart and killed me. Marath won his bet with him, so I belong to him now."She smeared more lip balm on her lips.
"Besides, if Sarcos will come later than we expect, he doesn't want to be family with Mathyas for sure, I was afraid he would forfeit me but he said nothing about Marath."Sienna bit her lips."So, even if I take Marath as my lover, I can still be with Sarcos."
"But he is not a king, how could you?"Xander asked.
"Who can stop him? "Sienna asked. "He got magic. I'm content. I think he is good in the bed anyway."She shook her shoulders.
Xander opened his mouth wide." You!" he stared shocked."You don't tell her nothing to this?" he turned to Ramse.
"I'm just happy she lives. What more can I ask for? We will still be able to visit her in Sand City."Ramse nodded. "Sienna did well. He is not that bad."
"You knew of it?"Xander looked at him."That is why you sent me to fetch him to help!"
"Yes, he came to me as I was cooking lunch for Sienna. He said Mathyas is a monster and that he will help us protect her."Ramse nodded.
"Do you think he set her up?"Xander looked at him.
"No, Mathyas is crazy. You saw him."Ramse shook his head.
Sienna came between them."Just leave it for now. I hope Sarcos will come on time, but if not, I have a way out of here with you as well."Sienna nodded.
She reached out and kissed Ramse and Xander's cheeks." Thanks to both of you. Everything will be well from now on!" she smiled hopefully.
Ramse went to get Sienna her dinner. He brought her sweet pancakes with peaches.
"Here, something to cheer you up!"He petted her hair. Sienna gobbled up the pancakes and went to draw in the bed.
The evening came, and Sienna was getting ready to sleep. "Go rest Xander I will stay with Sienna tonight."Ramse sent the panther off. He wanted just to sit in the darkness next to her and listen to her breathing.
Xander went out but came back in a few minutes really worried."Thyasse! She is in my room. I smelled her scent." he bit his lips.
"We forgot about her."Ramse looked at him.
"What now?"Xander changed to a man."Why I am so handsome?"
"If Marath finds out she is stalking you, he might kill you. "Ramse looked at him seriously.
"Maybe we can fight and make it look like you killed me? I can pretend I'm dead."Xander bit his lips.
"No, she might eat you in remorse and keep your skull."Sienna shook her head.
She looked at muscular Ramse and handsome Xander standing next to each other." Actually, I might have an idea." she chuckled.
"What is it?"Ramse asked her a bit worriedly.
"You will convince her that you are not interested in females."Sienna bit her lips.
"How? She knows we like you!"Xander looked at her.
"Well, you can say that we are just good friends and I'm your cover!"Sienna chuckled.
"What do you mean?"Ramse furrowed his brows.
"You need to convince her that you are in love with each other!"Sienna bit her lips holding laughter.
"What?" Ramse exploded."If I don't love you I will kill anyone who dares to say that!"
"Well, you don't need to kiss each other. Just pretend you going to have a bath together. That is enough!"Sienna chuckled."And you should appreciate your muscles."
"What do you mean?"Xander looked at her shocked.
"I will pretend I'm Xander," Sienna said. She walked lightly and took Ramse over his shoulders. "Come, let me see you again. I missed you." She lifted his top tunic and tickled his ripped abs!
"I'm not doing that," Xander said enraged.
"Well, both of you should. You look at your abs and shoulders and do this."Sienna slapped Xander's buttock! He reddened as a tomato.
"Ok, stop we have an idea," Ramse said upset.
"And you should pay attention to each other too." Sienna giggled."Pity, I can't watch!"She sighed."You need to tell me everything!"
"It might work."Ramse noted."Let's go, Xander, I do not want to be long."
"Don't worry, you will be just over the next door anyway and I have a protective necklace, I hope it works."Sienna smiled."Just go now!"
"Stay put and wait for us. We try to hurry."Ramse said firmly and went with Xander.
Ramse went with Xander to his room. Xander turned his head to Ramse ."Thyasse is under the bed covers already." he whispered.
Ramse nodded.
Xander and Ramse stared at each other. Ramse clenched his teeth hard and sighed. Xander bit his lips and nodded. They felt Thyasse is watching them! The game was on!
Ramse leaned to Xander and took off his tunic."You still look good."He nodded gently. Xander took Ramse's shirt off as well."Your muscles got bigger Ramse," he slapped his abs lightly."I missed you."
Ramse nodded and hugged Xander around his shoulder. "You have a nice six-pack too, Xander," Ramse noted."Let's go bath together!" Ramse smacked Xander's buttock hard!
"You are so wild Ramse."Xander chuckled."But you kiss really well."
"Well, you are just too hot."Ramse nodded."I can't wait to have you."
Thyasse get out of the blankets and looked at them shocked!"What is going on with you two?"
"What ?"Ramse said sternly, "We love each other!"
Xander looked at him red as a pepper."Yes a lot." he leaned tighter to Ramse's shoulder.
"I was thinking you are in love with that little brat?"Thyasse looked shocked at them.
"She is our friend only. Sienna is our cover." Xander nodded."Please keep it secret."
"So, you two don't like females at all?"Thyasse felt frozen.
"No," they shooked their heads innocently.
Thyasse held her mouth in shock and run out of the room red as a tomato!
Ramse chuckled. "That surely worked!"
"Yes, thank you," Xander noted.
Then they looked at each other!
Ramse still got his hand around Xander's shoulders.
"Don't touch me."Xander shook it off.
"Get dressed."Ramse glared at him.
"I think I will be not able to look at you the same ever again!"Xander bleaked.
"Enough, it never happened! Go sleep and I guard!"Ramse said firmly.
Ramse came back to Sienna's room. She sat up on the bed excitedly."So, how was it?"
"It worked really well! Don't you dare to mention it to anyone, ok? It never happened!"Ramse looked at her firmly.
"Don't be silly, you don't need to worry about it, you just pretended."Sienna chuckled at his bewildered expression.
"If you say it, I will seal my bracelet on you and Xander as well."Ramse said seriously."You are to be our cover, so you will have to bear with it!"
"Ok, deal! It never happened."Sienna bit her lips. " She pretend to lock her lips with an invisible key and then she chucked it away.
"What was that?"Ramse asked.
"I locked my lips and threw the key away."Sienna chuckled.
"That is not enough."Ramse shook his head.
"So, what do you want then to believe me?" Sienna asked.
"More!" he bit his lips.
Sienna looked into his face."Ok, then. Come here. "she tapped a place next to her on the bed. She pulled Ramse's hand to sit down in front of her.
She looked into his deep grey eyes."I promise to keep it secret. It never happened. If I will break my word to you, you can seal your bracelet on me in your human form and Xander as well."
"It is a queen promise?"Ramse looked at her hungrily. He felt his heart in his neck.
"Yes.Promise sealed with a kiss."She put her index finger on his lips and kissed it lightly.
Ramse could feel his body react to her."Ok, "he licked his lips. "I trust you will keep it now. But remember, if you don't."
Sienna chuckled. "I will. I will never ruin your reputation." she smiled at him.
Ramse nodded and took her hand. He sat Sienna in front of the mirror." Come, let me brush your hair again, I need to calm down." he sighed.
"Sure," Sienna smiled.
