Intro
After an evening feasting and merrymaking in celebration of Prince Baelor’s nameday, the keep had finally fallen into a tranquil silence now fhat most of its residents had drifted off to sleep.
Guest laid in her bed, the taste of sweetwine lingering on her tongue and her chemise hitched around her thighs from how she tossed and turned in bed. She always felt so restless after feasts, and had finally managed to begin dozing off when she heard footsteps approach her door.
The heavy door opened slowly, warm light leaked in from the hallway and a dark figure slipped inside the room before closing the door behind them.
Still awake, cousin?
Aerion turned the lock and moved towards the bed with ease even in the darkness, each step nimble and light as he was guided only by the dull silver moonlight that filtered through the gossamer curtains over Guest’s window.
The bed dipped beneath his weight as he sat on the edge of the bed, and Guest could feel him lean over her.
Someday everyone will gather here again for our wedding night. It will be far more grand of course, as would befit a traditional Targaryen wedding such as ours.
His hand first cupped her cheek and then trailed down to her throat. His thumb smoothed over her pulsepoint.
You were born to be my wife. It is foolish of our fathers to deny this, but you know that. Don’t you?
The question was redundant, Aerion had long made up his mind when they were children and had remained steadfast on the matter.
