Morning with Sarcos

Under the flowery pergola, Sarcos lay down next to Sienna and held her hand. He watched the blue sky peeking from the empty spaces between the flowers.

"You know, I will never let you go away from me," he said.

Sienna was watching flowers about her head as well." Yes, but you do let me see Tyrell and Sharchan, no? You made a deal you said." she whispered.

"Yes, I will have you three days now, and then a week from every month here in Sand City. "Sarcos said.

"It is a good deal, "Sienna nodded," But feel free to visit me any time if you would miss me." If Sharchan struck a deal with Sarcos it meant only one thing. Sarcos was equal to or stronger than Sharchan. "Sharchan will be not bullying me again. I will be always able to hide with Sarcos in the Sand City."Sienna got more excited about Sarcos. This will be great. She smiled and turned her head to him.

He still stared at the sky and the flowers. Sienna watched his handsome face. What a difference it was from the scary scorpion he was."I will go with you to Crystal City to finish our deal," Sarcos nodded.

Sienna watched him a little bit and then she asked? "What are you doing in your free time?"

" I do not have free time."Sarcos said." But I will make some for you, like now. Week with you will be my free time." he said quietly. It seems he was thinking.

"So tell me what do you do for fun then, apart then being with me."Sienna turned to his face, laying on her belly...She was so curious about him.

Sarcos smiled. He looked into her blue eyes, "Ride horses, fight, mix poisons, make weapons...

"I like horses, I like to watch you fight, I like pretty weapons.."Sienna said with a playful expression.

"Pretty weapons?"Sarcos laughed quietly. She was ever surprising him.

"Yes, I like it when they are decorated pretty, they look nice on the wall," Sienna said.

Sarcos smiled." She is so cute!" he thought " Why would you put weapons on the wall? he asked her.

"So you can look at them and use them if someone attacks you in your home?" she said. "But I guess, that can't happen to you. You are a scorpion, so you have weapons all the time with you." she smiled.

"Yes," he nodded.

"Do you like reading books?" she asked him. She was so curious about him and he seem to answer her well, so she was using his good mood to find out more.

"Of course," he smiled. "I have a lot of books about weapons, horses, poisons. Whatever you like."

"I leave the poisons to you.."Sienna smiled."I like the books about history, fabric making, storybooks..."

"What is your favourite story? " Sarcos asked her.

"I like Greek myths from my world," Sienna said." They are very sneaky sometimes, thou." she looked thinking.

"Tell me a sneaky story," said Sarcos, his eyes lit with interest.

"I think the most sneaky is the one with a wooden horse," said Sienna.

"A wooden horse?" his interest was caught up.

"Yes, Greek kings were at war, because Trojans got the Spartan queen, she ran away with Trojan prince because he was pretty and sweet to her."

Sarcos looked at Sienna." Why she just did not become his mate?"

"The Greeks only allowed one husband for a woman," Sienna said. "But you are right, if they have it like here, there would be no war. The thing is Greeks kings could not take over the City of Troy for 10 years. Then one clever king had a great idea, he had built a great wooden horse. He and his best warriors hid inside and their armies pretend to left. The City of Troy was thinking they were safe and pulled the horse inside breaking the strong city walls. Then at night warriors climbed out, took the queen back and destroyed the city."

"What if they burned it instead?"Sarcos asked.

" They did not, but I still think that was a flaw, it could be burned, yes!" said Sienna."If they made it from stone, it would be better. But I guess, they did not have that much time. But the legend stays and the wooden horse was called the Trojan horse forever."

"Good story," said Sarcos. I will remember it. I don't like it if you be taken from me for that long."

"Well the queen wanted to come back after the prince died in the war and she send her old mate a note," Sienna said.

" If you ever in trouble, you should try to write me a note too," he said to her thinking. Sienna nodded seriously," If I'm ok, I will send you the heart symbol and if not, I will make an arrow to pierce the heart, "she draw him the symbols in the sand with her finger. She smiled in her head. How did their conversation even come to this?

"Your drawing is good," Sarcos nodded.

"I can draw you a portrait, one day," she smiled.

"One day," Sarcos held her tight and pull her head to his chest. It was beating loudly. "You make me so happy Sienna," he sighed.

Sienna stay a bit on his chest, the sun was getting higher and it started to go really hot...Sarcos looked at Sienna lying on his chest. His hand slid down to her hips and the picture of her in the bathtub entered his mind. Those hips, he longed to see them again.

"Would you like to come for the swim?" Sarcos asked her.

"Yes," Sienna smiled. She loved the water. Sarcos helped her to stand up and he led her through the gardens. He took her to the secluded area in the gardens hidden behind the rose bushes. Sienna loved the big yellow and pink roses, which were growing there so wildly. There hidden was a round pool with sparkling crystal clear water. Sarcos started taking off his clothes and Sienna blushed. "Are we going to swim naked?" she asked.

Sarcos looked at her. "Are you still shy of me? I saw you naked already and I liked what I saw."

Sienna's face was red."Yes, but in my world, we use swimsuits. It is like a little piece of fabric. It feels more comfortable like that. "

Sarcos smiled and shook his head." I will have it made for you but is too late now, so go in."He looked at her and grabbed a few roses from the bushes. He ripped them apart and threw the petals in the pool. Sienna was not sure if he is doing it because he is angry with her and bit her lips. He noticed and smiled. "Now it is petals there, so you should be not that visible." he laughed. He watched Sienna with hungry eyes, "Can you turn around a bit, till I take this dress off? "Sienna asked. She felt her body trembling in his presence, she really did not know how to react to him sometimes. He made her more uncertain than Sharchan even though he was kind to her. But she was really attracted to him at the same time. Sarcos laughed and turned. Sienna let the dress fall to her knees, step out of it and slipped in the water fast." Ok now," she said and turned her face as Sarcos took all his clothes off. The water was reaching to her neck, so she calmed down. The surface of the water was covered with pink and yellow petals, so Sienna played with them. She heard him come into the pool, so she turned around. She saw his muscular body swimming next to her.

" You like swimming?"he asked her?

"Yes," she smiled."

"Do you want to have a race?" He asked her.

"Yes, when I got my swimsuit," she said blushing. She would feel a bit exposed while swimming. Sarcos came next to her. "Are you so shy with your other mates as well?" his face was a bit serious.

"I don't know, I just do as I feel," Sienna reply bluntly.

Sarcos smiled." I need to touch her more, to make her more comfortable around me," he thought. He came to Sienna and held her waist, he pulled her to himself tightly. He felt her body trembling at his touch and a wave of energy reached his body. "You are so beautiful Sienna," he looked into her eyes and kissed her. Sienna felt her stomach fluttering and her heartbeat like crazy. Sarcos was so handsome and his touch was melting her down. She wrapped her hands around his neck and replied to his kisses with trembling lips.

Sarcos let her go after a while. He looked at the scorching sun, "Come out Sienna, you should not be too long in the water, because your skin gets sunburned. You are very white."He said.

Sienna nodded."Yes, I do not want to look like a red lobster."Sarcos shook his head, "She can say the strangest things" he thought. Sarcos went out and put a white linen towel on his waist. He looked even more like a tall muscular Egyptian now. Then he picked the towel for Sienna. She found out there are no stairs in the pool and lifted her hands for Sarcos to help her get out. She did not want to climb naked out of the pool by herself because it will look too humiliating. Sarcos smiled, he pulled her up with his strong hands like a feather and wrapped her in another white towel." You look so good when you are fresh from the bath." he said and ran his finger on Sienna's cheek. Then he picked her up horizontally and took her straight to her room. He let her go at the door with a long kiss. "Get ready, I will see you in a while for lunch," he said. Sienna smiled and kissed him. "Thank you for the nice morning."
