I'm Betting Everything I've Got On You
The silence after was thick with tension. It was Brienne who finally huffed and walked to the sideboard, filling a tumbler with ice and whiskey.
After a large sip, she sighed. “I believe we have additional matters of breeding to discuss, gentlemen. Best get on with it.”
Jaime was halfway through his own swallow; he choked until it burned.
“Brienne!” Selwyn was red-faced. “That’s no way to start–”
“Come on, Father. We’re all adults here.” She turned to Jaime, and for the first time he noticed her eyes. They were endless blue, the color of sunny, summer skies. He was held in their still certainty. “Mr. Jaime Lannister was caught by the housekeeper in bed with his married cousin, so his reputation is in shambles.” She had the gall to follow that statement with a gentle smile. “And while I might be the least coveted filly in this trade, I can offer him an out.”
This was my entry in the Jaime x Brienne fic exchange 2022. The lovely Dashicra (@ineffableomenshusbands) made this beautiful cover for me.
Also, I really need to thank several people for putting up with me endlessly while I fretted over this. Wildlingoftarth (@wildlingoftarthgoftarth) you are awesome, and I appreciate your endless support and brainstorming skills. Mikki (@jaimebrienneonline)...I found a new friend in you this exchange; and you are so honest and straightforward with me and I love that about you. Alice (@alicienneoftarth) you are a gem, and a wonderful, kind, supportive friend. SDW (@sdwolfpup) I so appreciate you and your thoughtful comments/corrections and strong support of my writing.
