The Apple Orchards

Sienna looked into S's yellow eyes as in a trance. She always felt like Sharchan had some mysterious power over her body and S had it somehow too! The strong almost Snake King watched her with a soft smile. His wild snake eyes were looking into her blue eyes intensely and she just stood there staring at him as his helpless prey.

S pressed his lips on Sienna's. Sienna felt his hot lips on hers, she did not know how to react, so she just went with it. He opened her lips gently and put his tongue into her mouth, he kissed her passionately.

Sienna felt pulled into the kiss, it felt so wrong but pleasant and her body started to heat up."If I don't do something, he will just mate me."Sienna thought in panic as she felt S lifting her off the ground and walking towards the bed. He was not so shy anymore!

Sienna felt as he put her down onto the bed in a second, the time seemed to stop, Sienna needed all her willpower to break out from his hot kisses. She stared at him as a scared little dove. "My love, you promised to show me around, if you will take me now, I will be too tired to go."She looked at him hopelessly. The decision was up to him now, and Sienna was not sure if he will listen to her at all!

S stopped kissing her and stared into her eyes really closely."Hm, you are right, you just look so tasty." he sobered up a little. He got off her body and helped her to stand up.

"Come my queen, I need to keep my word to you."He smiled gently and Sienna felt her heart warmed up to him. He was definitely easier going than Sharchan! The rude Snake King will not care about what she said to him at all and will keep going till he will break her into tiny pieces with his hot mating!

S led Sienna to the garden. She was so excited to walk between neatly cut colourful bushes and flower beds. They followed geometrical designs and had footways bedded with little white and black stones, all sorted by their colour! The fresh air felt so invigorating to Sienna. She breathed deeply, clenched into S's arm as they walk around neat pathways. Sienna appreciated the hidden fountains inside the easy colourful hedge mazes, it was like an enchanting garden world!

Meanwhile, Ziran, after he made sure S was walking with Sienna in the garden went to look for Sharchan...He walked down deep into the underground of the Snake Castle, following S's scent, till he came to a big metal door. He opened them and went down the steep steps even deeper. Then he came to a long dark corridor at which end, the big black iron door stood majestically. He touched the door and he felt they are freezing cold. He wanted to open them when suddenly hundreds of wild snakes started to fill the dark space!

"You are dead tiger!"They hissed."We are guarding here. "

"Guarding who?"Ziran backed off from the door.

"Our king, he is sleeping, " they hissed.

"Well, he should wake up, his queen is here, "Ziran noted and kept retreating.

These snakes were poisonous! They looked at him with their cold predatory eyes and lashed at him! Ziran leapt as a tiger over them and run up the corridor fast as he could! Then he changed to a man and took the stairs four at a time, the snakes right after him, even the stairs slowed them down. Ziran closed the big door on top of the stairs leaving the snakes behind him with relief.

Ziran felt bad, he could not open that mysterious cold door. "I have to find the way around the snakes."He thought."Well, at least I know where Sharchan is."Ziran went to the kitchen and started to cook lunch for Sienna thinking about what to do...

In the little chilly but sunny garden, S sat Sienna on the decorated garden bench. He held her on his lap and play with her golden hair. Sienna cuddled up to his warm body. She looked into his handsome face."Do you think we can go to the market today? "She asked gently, "You promised to show me around your kingdom."She smiled at him.

S did not feel like going between people."I was hoping to spend some time alone with you," he smirked.

Sienna looked at S pleadingly."But you promised to buy me the best sweetest apples, please."

S smiled at her childishness. She was so cute. It felt so good to be in his older brother's shoes!

"Why buy?"He fixed a strand of her golden hair behind her ear." We have apple orchards just behind the castle, would you like to see them?"He asked her gently. "The grass there is soft as a cushion and the place is free of people, "he thought lustfully!

"Yes, can we go now?"Sienna said excitedly. She wanted to give Ziran much time as possible. "If I can get S out, it will be so much easier for him.!She smiled in her mind.

S nodded and lifted her in his embrace. He changed into a half snake and slithered with her fast outside of the castle. Sienna felt he is very strong. His snake was grinding the bushes and vegetation in their way ferociously!

They went out of the forest and Sienna saw a magical sight, the low fresh green hills covered in apple trees, with red, green and yellow apples shining between the green and orange leaves.

"It is so beautiful," she smiled."When will you be harvesting them?"

"Next week," S smiled, "When the servants will be back, they will be helping."He put her down under the strong apple tree. Sienna reached up and wanted to pick one apple, but was too short. S gave her one right from the top."These ones are the best. Try it!" he smiled seductively at her.

"Thank you."Sienna took the beautiful big red apple from him, staring into his wild yellow eyes, it was something so alluring in them that she felt puzzled, relaxed and happy as in a dream. It was so hard to stay on guard around S!

Sienna bit into the apple happily. It was sweet and juicy.

"So? How it is?"S smiled gently.

"You can definitely choose the best apples!"She smiled at him.

"Sure I can."S nodded and circled her waist with his strong hands."I can choose the best apples and the best queen."He smiled and kissed her lips. She tasted so fresh and sweet to him as she ate that apple. He embraced her strongly and Sienna felt squashed like in the iron ring.

Sienna felt as he pushed her on the soft grass. She found herself under him with her mind half not working. S run his hand on her lower body, he felt her curves and pushed her dress up.

Sienna felt that her body wanted him!"What is going on with me?" she shook her head and broke off the kiss.

"What's wrong, my love."S looked at her gently.

Sienna felt almost guilty she stopped the kiss!

"I just thought we can do it the first time here in your castle. In your bed."She smiled at him innocently.

S stared at her."Was it too disrespectful for her to do it on the grass?" he thought. "I'm so sorry, my queen. Sure, I mean no disrespect." he looked at her gently."You are just too alluring."He smiled.

Now Sienna felt really guilty! "He is so considerate."She thought and smiled at him sweetly with somehow painful relief in her heart.S was hard to refuse because he acted so kindly!

"Is ok," she smiled and kissed his cheek. She pushed him off her and lay at his shoulder."Would you hold me, my love ?"She smiled.

"Sure." he nodded satisfied, that she is not upset with him. He felt her body cuddled up to him and felt good.

Sienna lay on S's shoulder watching the shapes of the clouds for an hour. They were guessing the animals from them together and she liked it. S was more playful and creative than Sharchan!

Sienna felt relaxed and S as well."She is so easygoing."He smiled in his head.

After a while Sienna sat down and ate some more apples. S sat next to her holding more apples he picked for her. They watched the Snake Castle in the distance.

"Why are your castle walls so tall? Who do you fight against? "Sienna asked curiously.

"Caterpillars," he said nonchalantly.

"What ?"Sienna felt dumbstruck.

"They come in thousands from the forest and eat everything in their way."S explained." The walls are cured smooth to prevent them from climbing up."

"How big they are?"Sienna giggled.

"Just 2 meters long." he chuckled.

Sienna's face stayed pale. She would not like to see 2 meters long fluffy caterpillar!

"Do they change into a butterfly so big?"She asked curiously.

"Yes, "he nodded, but then they live in Butterfly Meadows. The huge butterflies leave their eggs far away from their home as they can, so their offspring eat everything else apart from their own meadow."He chuckled.

"Aww, I hope they will be not coming now.."Sienna hug her shoulders." Is there any way how to stop them coming here?" she asked curiously.

"You mean like kill them off?"S looked at her in surprise.

"No, just rerouting them to a different way. Maybe if you plant extra juicy leaves they can be contained? "Sienna was thinking aloud.

"No, we are fine with them. " S smiled quite relieved she is not cruel."From their empty cocoons, great fabrics are made."

"Really? It is like peace silk fabric?"Sienna asked curiously.

"I'm not really sure what you meant, but it looks like heavier silk." he nodded."This is their route, they have had it in their blood for centuries. They had to follow their instinct to find their home."

"So why did your ancestors build a castle next to their route then?"Sienna asked curiously.

"We are snakes, we will not worry about caterpillars that much."S chuckled."They would spend only 3 days here anyway. We ensure we got our harvest and the rest is for them ." he explained patiently."Most of our nation likes to see the Butterfly Dance at the end of the Spring."

"Really? That sounds so interesting."Sienna listened in awe.

"It is a great sight," he nodded." Thousands of huge butterflies are raising to the sky for their first flight, twirling together in a dance as they fly to their meadows. It is a very vibrant and colourful show, you will surely like it if you like drawing." he smiled gently holding her hand.

Sienna looked into his wild eyes and felt so relaxed. He was so gentle somehow. Ziran told her he is kind and she had to agree he was right. She just felt good with him. He was funny, witty and gentle.

"Promise something to me..." he looked into her eyes."I want to draw your portrait!"

"Ahh, Sharchan, you learned drawing for me?"Sienna held her heart melted into mush." That is so amazing."

"You are amazing, and so beautiful my queen."S bend over her and went for another kiss.

Sienna let him kiss her. She could refuse the kisses anyway if she wanted to find Sharchan. S kissed her deeply. He pressed Sienna under him into the soft grass. Suddenly Sienna felt a tinkle on her hand. A little spider was climbing over her fingers.

Sienna shrieked."Aaaa, spider!" she yanked her body wildly in fear.

"Shhh, "S blew the spider away from her hand. He smiled at her gently. He found her too cute.

Sienna stood up quickly."Im not laying in the grass anymore!" she shook her head and rub her hand onto her dress.

"Come, I will protect you from everything," he held her tight in his embrace."Let's go back to the castle. "He smiled at her reassuringly.

"Can we walk together, please? It is not that far," she asked as she remembered to take S out, so Ziran can search for Sharchan.

Sienna clench into S's arm and walked next to him slowly, following the wide trail he made on the way there with his huge snake body. She was admiring the beautiful sights, when she notice a hiss in the grass in front of her.

The whole swarm of wild snakes come to their pass." You are not the king."They hissed at S. "What you are doing with our queen?"

S looked at Sienna worriedly, but she could not understand snakes. She held his shoulder worriedly.

"Have no worry, they are all my snakes, they were protecting us," he smiled.

"I have the queen for now, so shush," he hissed and pointed at them with his hand. The big golden snake ring was on his finger.

The snakes hissed and dispersed.

"How did you do that?" Sienna smiled gently.

"My golden ring has snake powers," S gloated."The king never wore it, so I can just have it now." he overspoken. He realized and looked at Sienna.

She noticed but tried to hide it, "So it was after your father?"She smiled gently.

"Yes, my late father," S sighed in relief." I have to be more careful!" he thought.

"It is beautiful," Sienna nodded, and cling even tighter to him," You are protecting me so well," she smiled.
