The huge fire lines were lightening the dark sky over Sand City into the very early morning. The loud explosions and stars like shiny sprinkles of fireworks illuminated the celebrating city...
Sarcos returned just a few hours after midnight to Sand City! The Watchtower saw the blue flaming light streaming towards them and recognized their King!
Marco dropped Sarcos from the sky in front of the Sand City Gate...Sarcos told him not to stop till he was in his Eagle Mountain Fortress, so the spell would not tire him beforehand.
The huge scorpion fell into the desert sand seamlessly and changed into a handsome man.
"Welcome home King Sarcos..."The city guards were greeting him excitedly...The King was back!
"It feels good to be home!"Sarcos thought and smiled. He went inside the city and was greeted by his people. They lined the streets cheering in excitement! Everyone was out! Sarcos was a big deal in his city, everyone loved him and trusted him. He made his people feel protected and supported them to thrive. Sand City was full of celebrating scorpions.
Sarcos stood at the Forum and addressed his people. "My nation, what a welcome you prepared for me!" he smiled."The big games will be held tonight..."Sarcos called to them."To celebrate my return, reunion with my Queen and your bravery in protecting our city..." he smiled. The people cheered loudly as Sarcos went inside his castle...
Meanwhile in the turqoise decorated room, Sienna opened her eyes abruptly...She heard the loud explosions and furrowed her brows. "Fireworks!... Sarcos!!!! "She called out aloud as she jumped out of bed and ran to her terrace grabbing a dressing gown on her way. It was still dark outside but the cheers and loud screaming were coming out of the city..." Sarcos is here!" she stood on her terrace with a loudly beating heart, watching the glistening fires in the dark sky.
Sienna could not see much from her terrace, so she went back to her room holding her heart excitedly. She gobbled a few grapes nervously, put a little perfume on, smeared soft cherry lip balm on her lips, brushed her hair quickly and waited pacing around her room...He was taking so long somehow! Sienna opened the door and glanced at guarding Ziran...
"Sarcos is here!"She called to him with a frantic expression. She could not really hold up her excitement at all! Her all being was shaking in almost hungry expectation for Sarcos...
"Yes. I can hear..." Ziran growled in a raspy voice. He could feel her frazzled energy and felt a little bitter in his heart...Ziran watched as Sienna stood at the door covered in her dressing gown.
"You might go check down the corridors if you are this impatient!" He shook his head." Sarcos needs to pass by there on his way up."Ziran followed her a few steps behind as she went peeking down to corridors till she saw the burly figure walking fast towards her.
"Sarcos!!!!"...Sienna called and ran to him in an excited happy cloud.
The burly Scorpion King just opened his arms and lifted her as she circled his neck in a strong hug. Sarcos held her tightly in his embrace, feeling her heartbeat in his."My Sienna..." he kissed her straight away.
"My love, "Sienna felt her heart on fire! Her being was melting in with Sarcos! The ecstasy of his presence was circulating in her body and her hot blood was drumming in her ears as she kept her lips locked in with his.
"I missed you so much..." she whispered into his kiss. She could feel Sarcos's longing lifting from his heart and changing into hard satisfaction.
Sarcos carried Sienna back to her room...He sat with her on her bed and just held her in his embrace for a long time... breathing in her presence...he was kind of adjusting his brain to the reality of holding her again after that horribly long time...It felt like years to him suddenly!
Sienna felt as eloped in a warm strong cloud of safety and love...Sarcos's embrace felt like home to her...
He petted her hair and Sienna lifted her face to him. She looked at his handsome face, but he looked so worried suddenly."Sarcos?" she smiled and held his cheek in her palm.
"I'm really sorry, Sienna." He bit his lips.
"What happened?"She asked him worriedly."Did you have to kill Mathyas?"She asked quietly.
"No, he is cured and well."Sarcos shook his head.
"That's good."Sienna nodded."Is Ramse and Xander well?"
"Yes. They had to go check on their tribes," he nodded.
"So, is something wrong with Marath and Thyasse?" She furrowed her brows...
"No, they are fine." he nodded.
"Marco! Did he get to you?"She asked with a quiet fear grasping her heart.
"He is fine, he dropped me here."Sarcos said."He went to Eagle Mountains to rest."
"So, what are you sorry for?"Sienna asked curiously.
"You suffered a lot because of my decisions," he looked at her guiltily.
"Well, but at least I helped Thyasse and you helped Mathyas."Sienna smiled softly."We survived it, no?" she looked into his eyes gently. She went over the stupidity of his great idea long ago...
"So you are not upset with me?" he asked a bit surprised.
"I never was. Did not Xander and Ramse tell you I was waiting for you?" she smiled sweetly."Even now, I'm waiting for you..." she cuddled up to him as a cat.
"Thank you." He petted her head as if he found her again."You are my amazing Queen." He said satisfied...
"Yes, and we have all week together." she chuckled and hugged his waist tight when something made a crackling noise...
Sienna furrowed her brows and touched the place."What is that?" she asked. Sarcos did not normally have a lot of stuff hiding in his clothes...
"A paper..." He took out the folded rough paper and opened it.
"A Golden Scorpion, I forgot his picture in there," Sienna stared at her own drawing blushing at the memory. He was really handsome too...
"Sienna stay away from him!"Sarcos looked into Sienna's eyes seriously.
"But he was kind to me, he paid for my protection. He kissed me. I kissed him as I was kissing Marath. He was so irresistible." she whispered to him a little guiltily.
" He will be hunting you now. It will be a war for you most likely." Sarcos sighed.
"I don't like wars. " Sienna furrowed her brows "Why I just can't have him as a mate?" She asked sweetly." I can have two scorpions no?"Sienna asked really surprised with herself...she felt as if she was tied to him for some reason and Sarcos's words were breaking her heart.
"He wants to make you his slave."Sarcos shook his head.
"A slave?"Sienna furrowed her brows.
"Yes, a mating slave," Sarcos said seriously.
"Am I not kind of mating slave to all of you?"She chuckled.
"You are my Queen, how can you even say that?"Sarcos felt hurt in his heart..her joke was like a sharp arrow...Nothing was so precious to him as her...
"But what if I like him?" she bit her lips.
"Sienna, he doesn't restrain his scorpion, his concubines are missing limbs."Sarcos bit his lips upset inside. It enraged him that Sienna found the Golden Scorpion that irresistible, so he needed to explain to her better. He hoped she would not like him if he said to her how cruel the man was...Sarcos knew Sienna did not like unkind men, so he just decided to tell her the whole truth...
"What? "Sienna freaked out."And I did kiss him!" she held her cheeks in sheer horror.
"It was just his soul. It was stuck in the magic realm. It was not real, you kissed Marath." Sarcos tried to explain carefully.
"Uff."Sienna exhaled. "I do not like him anymore then."She said but felt her heart hurt enormously.
"Sienna, he will call on a Council of Kings to hunt you down. You need to trust only the people you know well." Sarcos noted...
"As you say, my love."Sienna nodded eagerly. She felt a bit stupid and deceived. It made her happy mood to low down a bit."Can you cuddle me on the bed now?" she asked cutely.
"I'm all sandy." he smiled.
"Well, we can have a bath together, if you like. "She smiled."You are my sandy Scorpion King from Sand City of Sand..."She ran her hand on his strong arms..." "The best way to clean the sand is to take your clothes off..." she looked at him innocently...
"Are you sure of it?" He lifted his eyebrow entertained...
"We need to try..." She started taking his clothes off slowly...
"You are the Queen, "he nodded playing her game...
Sienna took his clothes off and touched the hard muscles...she kissed his shoulders and back slowly...
"What are you doing?" Sarcos asked in a rasped voice as she made him excited...
" You have so much sand everywhere...I'm just taking it down..." she said innocently...
"Sure..."Sarcos turned around and kissed her deeply...The excitement in the room was almost visible...like a pheromones charged cloud...Sienna felt pleasure by just being in it...the strong pull she felt towards Sarcos...He was hers to have and she was not ready to wait any longer...
"Ahm...we can have a bath later...."Sienna just pulled him down on the soft carpet...
"But I wanted you to take care of me."Sarcos smiled sneakily...
"It is too late to go for a bath already..."Sienna circled his neck placing her legs around his waist...she pressed onto him and felt like he just grabbed her bottom and pushed himself inside of her...
Sienna felt melting in the Sarcos's embrace...She felt his fire and as if her body came alive after missing him so much...They both were kind of out of their minds as they mated on the soft carpet. It was a bit rough as a hungry beast devouring each other..unable to resist taking more and more, even though he was stuck inside of her she wanted him closer as her body was ravenous for him...
They were finally together...as one tangled mass of passion...
