Chapter Two:
Suki shifted slightly. Her body was taut, her head throbbed, and she ached all over. She opened her eyes and found that she was in a cell and guarded by two Dynasty soldiers. Her wrists were bound in shackles and her arms were drawn up so as she couldn't move them. One of the soldiers turned to her and then turned back and walked off. She wondered what was going on. This was Tulpa's castle, but she must be in the dungeon. She narrowed her eyes. How could she have been so stupid?! Leaving her back exposed was the most idiotic move ever!
If it wasn't for the familiar clanking of armor and new footsteps, she would have scolded herself more. She looked up and saw the soldier enter the room and announced, "She is awake."
"You two may leave." Sekhmet said. She watched as the two soldiers left and for the first time noticed that there were two other men with him. "Awake?"
"Let me out and I'll show you how awake I am!"
"I wonder if Halo's protector is this way." Cale commented with a laugh.
She narrowed her eyes on the blue-haired man, "Don't you talk like that about her!" Suki should have stopped talking then, but her anger kept building up.
"Tsunami, I would truly hate to take you to our torture chamber to get you to shut up. Your head is still hurting isn't it?" She turned her face away from him. He laughed at her, "I'll take it as a yes."
She harrumphed at him, "Why do you care, oh Warlord of Venom?"
"She has it in for you Sekhmet." Dais intervened. "I would be very careful."
"Because, despite you acting like an ungrateful brat, I thought I would give you something for it."
Her jaw dropped in complete surprise, "What? You'd be ungrateful if someone stole you away and locked you up like a caged animal."
This had the other warlords laughing loudly. "I never expected Tsunami to be like this." Cale said with a laugh.
"And what did you expect me to be like?" Suki questioned the Warlord of Corruption.
"Well, like Torrent. His personality is totally different from what you think it would be." He answered. "You, on the other hand, are feisty and nothing like I imagined."
Sekhmet turned towards Tsunami and asked her, "Do you want something for the pain or not?"
She huffed, "Sure."
He shook his head at her. When he brought her back, he was praised by his master. What's more, he would be rewarded with taking care of her. Sekhmet had a lot of questions to ask her. As he prepared the tea, he thought about the first and most important...'Is it true that you can give a protection of water?' It was said that the protectors could use their elements to assign protection to any of the armor bearers. If this is true, then she could do it for them.
Sekhmet turned his head to the tea and poured it in the cup. He gave the cup to Dais then went over to the cell and opened it up and released the chains slightly. "Alright." He reached for the cup then Dais suddenly stopped him.
"Wait. Remember what Master Tulpa said? She can control any form of water. Pour it down her throat."
He looked at his fellow warlord as if he had gone insane. However, it was true, she could use it against them. Sekhmet grasped the cup of tea then said, "No chances." He pushed the edge of the lip to her mouth and tilted it against her lips. Suddenly, he grasped ahold of her hair and pulled her head back, making it slightly easier for him, but harder for her. When the tea was drained, he let her hair go, but now she was coughing violently.
Suki tried to gain her breath, but she was choking and coughing. Did they think she would use frigging tea against them? Hell, the next time she wouldn't ask for anything. She finally got her coughing fit under control and glared at Sekhmet, "What the hell is wrong with you?! You really think I am going to attack you with tea!" She tried to get to her feet, but the chains hadn't been loosened that much. Suki tried again and again until it seemed like she had failed ten times.
Finally, she fell to the floor and Sekhmet looked at her in boredom. "Are you finished?"
She panted softly; her eyes flew open suddenly in surprise. Because she had been trying to get up from the floor it had caused her to detransform fully. Her armor orb rolled in front of her feet. The three warlords gasped in surprise, but most of all was Sekhmet. The smell of honeysuckle and vanilla hit his nostrils hard and he suddenly turned on his heel and left the room. Cale and Dais looked at each other then followed behind their friend, wondering what the hell was going on.
Dais and Cale had to run to catch up with Sekhmet. He had already made it halfway down the massive hallway before they caught up with him. "What's wrong?" Dais questioned.
"You don't smell it?" Sekhmet asked rhetorically. "But of course, you wouldn't. You two aren't demons or half-demons."
"You mean to say that after all these years of searching, Tsunami is your mate?" Cale asked then laughed loud.
Sekhmet growled at the Warlord of Corruption. He looked at Dais, who was stroking his chin, "What are you thinking about?"
"This is perfect for you and us. Once you mate with her then she will have to do whatever you say. There will be nothing to stand in our way."
"You say that like it is easy. Mating with a female takes three days and it is never for certain till the third day." Sekhmet replied as he glared at the two.
"Then do it. Tell Master Tulpa about your discovery and mate with her. Find out if she is your true mate. From what I saw though, I think she is." Cale advised his fellow warlord.
Sekhmet huffed, "Very well. Can you two take her to my area of the castle?"
Dais smiled, "Of course."

Suki waited for Sekhmet to come. Truth was that she was more confused than ever. Why had he left in such a hurry? The other warlords stood around waiting for Sekhmet to come back. Cale glanced at her occasionally, as if he knew something that she didn't. Suddenly, a shoji door slid open and she heard Sekhmet's voice. "You can leave." The two left the main area and she heard the door slide back.
Sekhmet didn't have to find her; he could smell her, and it was such a delightful scent. It made him want to pin her to the bed and get down to business. However, he had to explain himself before he started. She had come in his enemy and now she would be his mate. She sat on the mattress he used as a bed. The sheets were a light green with a dark red comforter. Looking at her made heat spike through his body.
She looked up at him and questioned, "What is this about?"
"You're my mate." The words spilled from his lips.
"What!" Suki yelled in surprise. "I'm no such thing!"
"Let me explain it to you. I am half-snake-demon. My kind mates by scent. We find our mates by scent alone. You, Tsunami, are my mate. When you revealed yourself, your scent was revealed as well."
"I don't care. I'm not your mate."
"Let me make this clear. You have no choice in the matter and neither do I." He said as he narrowed his eyes at her. "If I don't have you tonight I will be driven insane."
She bit her lower lip as she looked at him. "N...no! I can't!"
"Tsunami!"
"My name is Suki! I am more than an armor Sekhmet!" Suki shouted suddenly. She hated being referred to by her armor.
"Very well," Sekhmet murmured. "Suki. You are my mate. Right now, your scent is driving me completely wild and it is very hard to control myself." He paused then ordered, "Take off your clothes."
Suki looked at him in shock. However, there was no way out of this. She was going to have to go through this and it was best to obey him. Standing up, she slowly pulled her white tank top over her head and threw it sideways to the floor. Next, she unbuttoned the top of her flowy white and blue flower skirt and let it slide to the floor then kicked it away. Suki felt Sekhmet's eyes all over her. He watched as she unhooked her bra from behind and revealed her breasts. She dropped it near her other garments. Then finally she hooked her fingers in her panties and pulled them down her hips and legs and kicked them to the side.
Sekhmet felt his mouth water. He almost drooled as he watched her disrobe. Her body was absolute perfection and the smell was now even stronger. Her body had barely any hair on it. Her wavy brown hair curled about her shoulders as her dark blue eyes focused on his. "Lay down." He instructed. Looking on, he noticed she was nervous, but she did as he said. His subarmor disappeared and suddenly he was naked. She looked up towards him and let her jaw drop. He didn't know what it was that she was revealing in that moment, but he felt like this was going to be the best night of his life.
Suki looked up as Sekhmet parted her legs and eased his way between them. He wasn't just going to go into it, was he? However, her fears were put to rest when she felt his hands caress her hips. He leaned over and his mouth sucked the side of her neck gently. He said he couldn't control himself...right? He growled into her ear, "I can't be slow and gentle anymore. You're driving me wild Suki. I want to taste you...devour you...make you scream my name." She could feel an involuntary shiver go down her spine at the thought of what he would do to her. In the back of her mind a tiny voice said, 'This is wrong.' However, she ignored it.
He pulled back after sucking on her neck and stared at her eyes. "I've been waiting too long. Now, I get what I deserve."
Before she could say anything, Sekhmet moved at lightning speed and pulled her legs over his strong shoulders. She could feel the rippling of the muscles of his back beneath her legs. His hands kept her thighs pinned against the bed. She felt that she would break underneath his strength.
The sweet scent hit his nostrils full on and now it was headier than ever. Sekhmet looked at her folds and finally parted them with his thumbs. He buried his face between her thighs, finally, and lost himself in the taste of her body.
Suki felt her back bow as Sekhmet's tongue did wonders to her body. She wanted relief, but he was slow. She supposed he wanted to take everything in at once. To enjoy himself. She didn't blame him for that...but she needed release so damned bad. Why did the one man who could give her release and make her want for more have to be her enemy?
Above him, Sekhmet heard a sweet moan exit Suki's mouth. He had to hold her down to finish his enjoyment of her body. He saw her grasp the sheets and pull at them to try to hold back. However, he couldn't give her satisfaction just yet. A little bit longer. He would prove to her that they were mates.
She bit her lip from whining. No more. She couldn't take it. Suki almost begged for him to finish it. She couldn't bear it for much longer. He was such a tease. "Sekhmet..." However, he seemed to ignore her plea and continued focusing on his own needs. She tightened the grip on the sheets and tried to ignore the way she felt. Almost as if she would explode, yet she could not without his help.
He smiled as he heard his name upon her lips. Sekhmet finally came out of his haze and brought her to her orgasm. He heard a scream, a couple of expletives, and his name on her lips. He slowly moved up above her and looked down on her slightly sweaty form. She was panting hard as he smiled. He murmured, "I didn't know you spoke such language."
She laughed softly, "I learn some here and there."
Sekhmet laughed with her, "I've sated some of my need. However, I have another problem."
Suki stared up at him. "I know."
"Once I am in need then there is no stopping me. I will take you over and over until I am fully sated."
She gulped, "Then I suppose that is it."
"You're awfully understanding for someone who was fighting me before."
"If there is no way around it then why fight?" Suki asked with a blush on her flushed face.
Sekhmet looked at the young woman beneath him...his mate. She was brave and selfless. Something that was uncommon. "You're beautiful."
She looked up at him in surprise. "What?"
He smiled back at her. "Let's get back to matters. Shall we?"
Suki was confused. However, she watched as he shifted in between her legs and pushed two fingers in between her folds. She arced in pain at the intruding appendages. What was Sekhmet going to be like? He was definitely bigger than two fingers. She hoped that he didn't think her a weakling. This mating was supposed to be for him. She couldn't show weakness.
Sekhmet noted the pain in her face. However, he decided that he would be slow and deny his animal instincts at first. She wasn't exactly tiny. She was about a half-a-head shorter than him. She had beautiful full breasts and curvy hips. Not exactly what you would think an armor bearer to have. He appreciated that greatly though. He pulled his fingers out of her canal and braced himself over her body. She looked up at him from her vantage point. Her eyes met his and slowly he pushed into her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck as he pushed past her barrier and all the way inside. It hurt terribly. So bad that she almost made him withdraw. However, she felt him slowly pull back then push forward again. Suddenly, it began to feel good. The pain began to fade, and she was moaning. Suki threw her head back while he continued, but at a much faster pace now. She wrapped her legs around his hips while letting him do what he wanted. At this point she really didn't care what happened.
He buried his head into her neck while wrapping his arms tightly about her hips. His thrusts were becoming more needy and animalistic. The thing was that she didn't seem to care. Her eyes were lidded and glazed. She was moaning his name frantically. Sekhmet couldn't deny how happy he was. How sated he was finally feeling. He felt nails claw his back and hissed suddenly. She was trying her best to be in sync with him and it was hard to remain that way.
Suki felt Sekhmet's constant thrusts hit her making pleasure shoot throughout her body. How long had it been? Ten minutes? He had to have the longest stamina ever. Every time she thought he was done he would continue thrusting into her. It felt good, but she was afraid that her bones would break, and she would be left a boneless mess. She felt a slight shift in rhythm and knew that he was ready to end it. The animal in him did not seem to rule anymore.
Sekhmet felt the urge to thrust a few more times before releasing into her canal. He groaned loudly as he braced himself above her. She moaned in time with him as she had her own orgasm. His breathing was harsh from exerting himself. He took in a deep breath and smelled the air. Her scent wasn't as overwhelming as before. 'Then it's true. She is my mate.'
She pulled at his wrist. "I'm tired. Let's sleep."
He nodded as he lay on the bed next to her. His arms wrapped around her waist in an embrace. Tomorrow would be the second test. Would Suki pass it?
