#spicy chapter

Nymeria was a bundle of nerves and excitement; she could see Rhaenyra’s eye on her as they walked over to the dragon pit. The dragon roared loudly, causing Nymeria to flinch, and instantly grabbed Rhaneyra’s hand, and the Princess squeezed the girl’s hand in reassurance.

“Don’t worry, be fierce like a dragon.” Nymeria had the words wash over her, reminding her of her heritage. She whispered to Nymeria’s ear, causing the girl to shiver at her lips gracing her ear and her words washing over her, bustling her in confidence.

You have the blood of a dragon.

You are a dragon.

yet…

You are the screams of the child running from a dragon.

You are the warriors out to kill a dragon.

She shook her head, biting her lip, she was a dragon, and she will get to see one up close and personal for once, not out of fear but out of love and curiosity. Syrax looked over at the Dornish girl with a bored look in her eye; they watched each other as Nymeria raised her hand to pet her scaly skin. Syrax gave out a loud noise before resting her head on the ground, causing Nymeria to gasp loudly; her fingers trembled slowly, stopping as she kept petting her. Her heart pumped loudly and roughly against her chest, and the blood was rushing into her ears temporarily, causing her deafness as Rhaneyra whispered to her.

“Let’s go for a ride.” Rhaneyra’s squeezed Nymeria waist; as the girl turned to look at her with wide eyes, Rhaneyra giggled loudly. “You trust me?” She said, climbing up on her dragon, now turning to look at Nymeria with a smirk.

“Of Course I do, but-‘

“So let’s go for a ride.” She put her hand out for Nymeria to grab as the girl looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

“If I fall off, Darvos will be livid,” Nymeria said, grabbing her hand and gently placing her foot on the dragon, pushing herself up with Rhaneyra’s pulling her up.

“You’re not falling off my gods, and Darvos is livid now.” She joked as Nymeria laughed with her. “Don’t be scared and hold onto my waist tightly. Here use this strap; it’s extra to hold you in.”

Nymeria quickly strapped herself close to Rhaneyra, smelling the perfume in her hair invading her senses as she wrapped her arms around her waist. Nymeria put her head in the crook of Rhanyera’s neck, causing her to giggle.

“Nymeria, you smell of spice and what I imagine love is.” She said before kicking off, causing Nymeria to let out a sudden scream.

Nymeria was not expecting to be soaring off to the sky so quickly. Her eyes instantly shut as she wrapped her arms tighter around the girl’s waist Rhaneyra laughed so loud that you heard it over the wind. This was the first time ever Nymeria had felt Rhaneyra be so happy, as Nymeria was holding on to dear life.

For the first time in Nymerias life, she felt freedom; she slowly opened her eyes to see the sky pasting her and the cool air hitting her face. Rhaneyra’s warm body pressed up against her, nymeria’s hands intertwined, and her arms pressed harshly against Rhaneyra’s waist. She allowed her body to ease a little before glancing around, seeing now the sea, looking dark but calm below them. The sky was still light blue from the early noon, and the sun gave them warmth as if blessing them for their time and bond. Nymeria smiled, pressing her lips to Rhaneyra’s cheek, feeling them rise as the girl smiled.

“Are you happy, Nymeria?” Rhaneyra asked as the girl rubbed her nose against her cheek.

“With you? Yes.” She said, causing Rhaneyra to blush as she moved back into her chest.

The girls felt deep for one another and couldn’t wait to spend their days together. The pair flew around the sky together, blissful and enamored within this moment. A bonded forming grew stronger by the day as their loneliness connected them into a team.

“We are riding to Dragonstone.” The Princess said with a smile. “We can eat and rest for a bit.”

“You didn’t want to eat with your father?” Nymeria asked her with curiosity burning at every word; the Princess sighed.

“No, I needed to escape.”

Nymeria nodded against her before giving her another kiss. “And escape we will.”

Flying in the sky made Nymeria understand why the Tarygaryen’s felt they were close to gods and why the people would think that. There is a power to being high in the sky, to see clouds burst into nothing as you fly through them. As the birds look over at you, almost in wonderment and fear. To look down at others, seeing them gaze up at you in the same treatment. It was no wonder they were gods.

The landing was smooth as butter, and Rhaneyra let Nymeria get off first, with the help of the dragon keeper for Nymeria. They smiled over at her as she smiled back; Rhaneyra didn’t tell anyone they would be there, so she was sure her king’s guard was highly upset with her. Nymeria didn’t care; she knew Rhaneyra needed to be away from them all. She needed peace for one day.

“Do you need rest from the ride?” Rhaneyra asked the girl with a smile on her face.

“No, but I do think we need baths,” Nymeria said back to Rhaneyra as they laughed.

“You remind me of Mum.” She whispered, pulling the petite girl into her, embracing her fully. They swayed together as they held onto one another.

“I’m sorry if it hurts,” Nymeria whispered as the Princess laughed briefly before pulling away from the girl.

“No.” She said with tears in her eyes. “It’s a good thing.” She nodded. “Now, let’s get some baths.”

Nymeria sat in her bath water, knowing she wouldn’t smell of Dorne. They wouldn’t have the same customs or smells. She knew she was embracing a culture different from hers, and her hair might have a light frizz from the oils she needed for her curls, but it was one day. She sighed deeply into the warm waters against her skin. She knew embracing a new culture would not erase her own, but she knew her family would wonder. If she stayed here, would she erase everything she knew of her own self? She looked over at the face bowl; she would wash her face in rose water and knew nothing would be different.

Leana had some clothes left here, and they were very similar in size. She wasn’t helped into her clothes as she would be with Cedra. There weren’t a lot of workers here as it was just Daemon who lived here, but he wasn’t there when they arrived. From what Rhaneyra told Nymeria, her father had banished Daemon from Dragonstone. Every time she had asked the Princess why she never gave an answer… until now.

As the girls sat at the table eating their food, Nymeria asked again why Daemon was banished.

“Well…” Rhaneyra said, sighing. “If I tell you what happened, you cannot rush to anyone to say.”

“I would never,” Nymeria said over to her, sounding as if she was giving an oath.

“Come closer; I do not want the others to hear.”

Nymeria nodded as she grabbed her goblet, sitting closer to Rhaneyra so their words could be in whispers. She felt her arm so close to priciness, the warmth radiant off of her. Nymeria kept eye contact with Rhaneyra as she looked like it was a struggle to get the words out.

“Daemon took me out to flea bottom to show life with freedoms and how the people will see me as a queen.” Nymeria did not say a word. “And well, he wanted to show me that sex could be pleasurable, but then he left me at a whorehouse naked and did not touch me. He ran off to be with some whore.”

“How dare he,” Nymeria said with fire in her eyes. “How dare he even compare even touch your skin, your lips than touch a whore.” She almost spits out.

“I do not wonder what my uncle thinks.” She said her words, full of hurt. “But I came home, and Criston Cole was there, and I always had eyes for him. So I lost my maidenhood to him” Her words were so low it was growing hard to hear.

“Ser Criston Cole?” Nymeria whispered equally as low. “The man that is now at Queen Alicent’s side?”

“Yes, it was a mistake.” She told Nymeria, “he wanted me to be a commoner and live with him.”

“You have a duty to do; you are the heir.”

“I told him that.” She said, now drinking out of her goblet. “But he does not understand; he is of a simple mind.”

“What a fool.”

“So I was forced to marry Lenaor.” She said, shaking her head. “my father heard words from Otto.”

“Then why is he the hand?” Nymeria said, looking over at Rhaneyra with a look of confusion. “If he spreads whispers of rumors against you now, he has to be dealt with. He needs to have his tongue cut.”

Nymeria’s eyes were fire-filled, and Rhaneyra smirked at the girl. “Father would-“

“He will listen; you are the apple of his eyes, my Princess, as you are mine. Get rid of Otto, he is Alicent ally, and he already speaks ill of you. He will do more harm than good.” She said over to Rhaenyra, and the girl nodded her head.

“I love this.” She said, now grabbing the back of the girl’s neck. “You’re so beautiful.”

“As are you.” Nymeria smiled back at her, and their lips were pressed against each other.

Nymeria knew the maids could see, the workers would see them, but she didn’t care. She loved Rhaneyra wholeheartedly; she would do anything for her. She would kill for her and die for her, and she knew Rhaneyra would do the same.

Dinner was made as they walked back to Rhaneyra’s bed chambers with their hands intertwined.

The movement was heavy with heat, with love for one another. They knew they were going down a path they would never come back from, but Nymeria didn’t care; she wanted it as much as Rhaneyra. As soon as the door closed, Rhaneyra pushed her petite girl against the door, with her body and lips again on her. Devouring her, loving her, Nymeria pressed her hands on the Princess’s back, wanting more of it.

Dressed were being peeled apart from one another, their hands softly and gently touching one another, feeling the softness of another skin. Rhaneyra pushed Nymeria softly onto the bed as the Dornish girl now giggled over to her, her cheating moving up and down, breathing heavily as she watched Rhaneyra’s skin blushing red, her chest red with warmth. Nymeria looked over at the girl, and she did the same. The pinks to the browns both looked beautiful to each other, and Nymeria wanted her touch even more. She moved up to her elbows, now kissing her Princess’s breast, letting the Princess sigh.

“You are so beautiful.” She murmured against her breast, now letting her mouth go around her nipple to suck, and the Princess gasped loudly. “Nymeria.” She whispered in a moan, her hands wrapped in the white curls.

Nymeria looked over the Princess as her cheeks were ruddy and the bridge of her nose the same color. She sighed loudly, letting her head fall back, before mustering her head up, pushing Nymeria off, and now forcefully shoving her on the bed. Her hands wrapped around Nymeria’s wrist, and her legs opened to let Rhaneyra between them.

“You are so fucking beautiful,” Rhaneyra said, looking over her before giving her a slight chaste kiss on her lips, before moving her lips down to her neck, down between her breast, her hands still wrapped around Nymerias wrist. She glanced up at Nymeria, seeing her watch her, and she put her lips over her nipple, now sucking, causing Nymeria to gasp loudly. They watched each other, but Nymeria’s eyes slid shut when it felt too good. Rhaneyra smirked, tugging at her nipple gently, and Nymeria felt wet. Rhaneyra smoots the pain with her tongue, both moving down the rest of her body.

“You’re so small and pretty. So enticing, and you smell so good.” She praised her as she kissed between every word.

Nymeria looked down to see the Princess, the fucking Heir now between her legs, and she felt herself growing more aching at the minute. She needed Rhaneyra, she wanted her, and she would get her. Rhaneyra smiled up at Nymeria almost deviously and quickly put her mouth on her lips, licking deeply inside of her, causing the girl to cry out.

Rhaneyra was hungry for the girl, devouring her, now letting her wrist go to put her hands on her waist and hold her down. She slipped two fingers inside the girl and instantly causing her to cry out. Nymeria cried out, feeling her suck, and fuck her with her mouth and fingers.

“Oh, my gods, Rhaneyra.” She moaned wantonly, just allowing the Princess to control her.

Rhanerya was her first touch, her first love, and her to bring her pleasure.

“please, I -“

“I know.” Rhaneyra pulled away before going back into licking her.

Her tongue was tantalizing, her lips, her voice rough with passion with lust, her eyes glazed in a haze, the mouth-watering noises, Nymeria gasps and whine music to Rhaneryas ears. It was enough to drive Nymeria to the edge as she cried out, her legs tight around the Princess’s head.

Rhaneyra pulled away now, looking at the girl a mess on the bed, smiling over at her now, licking her lips.

“I love you, Nymeria,” Rhanerya said, her lips pressed against her cheek. “I would be so alone if it weren’t for you.”

Nymeria opened her eyes, looking over at the Princess with love in her eyes; she smiled over at her.

“I would be so lost without you,” Nymeria whispered back, cupping the Princess’s face. “I need to make love to you.”

“No, it’s fine.” She said with a smile. “You got me later.” She winked, and the girl giggled over to her.

They laid in the back for so long, too long to the point that Rhaneyra’s guard came from her and made the pair return to the red keep. He bowed his head, watching the girls walk off under the eyes of Alicent and Criston Cole’s side eyes. Everyone saw them giggling with each other and pressed so close, and Nymeria saw Harwin smirking over at her, and she smiled back at him. Rhaneyra followed Nymeria’s eyesight and perked an eyebrow at him.

Nymeria was so tired from the dragon ride, from the love from Rhaneyra she almost forgot bout Harwin. Before she knew her eyes were closed in her bed, she was rising before dawn to meet with him. She yawned loudly as she felt Cedra’s hands wrapping her in clothes for a morning dewy ride.

“My lady, you are so tired. Do you think it wise to ride?” Cedra whispered over to the girl as she wafted her hand in dismissal.

“I can make a tea to raise me.” “Please bring me winder ash, pepper, and some water,” she said with a yawn as Cedra sighed in disapproval.

“Yes, my lady.”

Nymeria was known as a healer, as her brother would get hurt so often that Nymeria found herself reading and being by the side of healers to watch what they did. She often wonders if she could be a healer herself. She knew how to clean a wound, care it up, and remove head pains. The girl quickly mixed her ingredients before drinking it soon before she gagged.

“See Cedra, now I am up.”

“Yeah, you just had to almost vomit for it.” She teased the girl as she rolled her eyes back at her.

Nymeria was late; she could tell by how the sky was changing. She quickly ran through the red keep with eyes on her; she dashed that she almost collided with Harwin, reaching the horse stable. He laughed, holding onto her, stopping her from hitting him.

“I thought you forgot about me.” He said with a warming smile, making Nymeria’s heart flutter.

“I could never.” She said back to him with a smile, and he nodded over to her words. “Shall we ride?”

“Indeed, my lady.”

Nymeria walked into the horse stable with Harwin by her side as StarFyre greeted the pair loudly. Nymeria ran over to her house with a smile; she petted him as he rubbed his face into her hand.

“He loves you,” Harwin said as she smiled at him.

“And I’ve had him. We were both babes.” She pets lovely to StarFyre as he smiles over at her. “Such a pretty and wonderful boy….want to go for a ride?”

He reposed back with his head nodding and loudly neighs to them. Harwin smiled at the pair as she shook her head back to the horse; she looked at Harwin with a smile.

“Now, I hate to be a burden.” She said to Harwin, “But how do I take him out? Usually, where we live, we have space for him to roam that’s not so confided like this.”

“Of course.” He said over to her. “Will he allow me to touch him?” Harwin asked over to Nymeria as she nodded her head over to him.

“He’s a sweet boy.”

“Hopefully, not a jealous one.”

Harwin cautiously greeted Star Fyre as Star Fyre looked over to Nymeria as if to ask if he was worthy of my touch. Star-Fyre was rather picky to anyone touching him, which made sense to Nymeria why he was so locked up here, but she knew until she had her own place to rest, she would have to follow the rules and safety of the people of this kingdom. She nodded to the horse, and he finally allowed Harwin to work on releasing him.

Nymeria watched Harwin back, gazed at how big it was, and wondered how many muscles were under there as she worked gently with the horse, which caused Nymeria’s heart to soar. A man of his build was gentle with beings deemed weaker or even seen as property. She knew his man may his name was break bones, was soft at heart, and she wanted to be why he was gentle with her. To treat her the same as he does her horse.

She embraced Star Fyre when he was finally free and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, hugging him. Harwin smiled over at them as she kept him close to her body before pulling away from the beast.

“See, he is sweet.”

“I truly believe he is only sweet for you, my lady,” Harwin said with a smile. “And I do not blame him.”

Her cheeks turned ruddy at his words, and he smiled more considerably seeing it. He helped her on her horse though he was sure she didn’t need the help, but she accepted anyway. He walked beside her as they walked to his horse.

“You seem to be enjoying your time here,” Harwin said over to the girl as she looked at him.

“When I am by Rhaneyra’s side, I enjoy my time.” She said to him with a soft smile. “She is a pleasure to be around and truly a beautiful woman.”

“I have only seen her in passing, but I cannot deny her beauty.” He said over to Nymeria with a smile.

“Yes, she is the realm’s delight; she shines bright as the biggest star in the sky.”

“I think I can say someone else shines a bit brighter.” He said, now looking at Nymeria with adoring eyes as she smiled at him.

“Flatter.” She teased as he tipped his head over.

“I only speak in truths.” He said as she smiled at him. “Ah, here is my horse.”

“So….shall we race?” She smirked over at him as he barely got on his mount, and she was off.

“Cheater!” he called out after her before clicking his heels to his horse.

She was glad they had both woken up at dawn; there weren’t many people out as they raced around the grounds before rushing out towards the woods. Harwin wasn’t far off, as she held close to her horse as he jumped over sticks and watched out for boulders. She knew Star Fyre was fast, but she did. Harwin held back a bit so she could win over him. She would call out his farce once they found a resting place.

Nymeria found a spot on a tree by a river bank; she loved how the water calmed her down and that Star Fyre needed a break. She leaned on the tree as she pulled at a satchel to bring out a very late breakfast to eak their fast for the morning. Harwin finally found her spot as he playfully glared at her.

“You cheated.” He said with a laugh as he came off his horse. “I thought your horse was the fastest horse in the land.”

“And You slowed down; also, Star Fyre IS the fastest.” She stuck her tongue out at him, and he laughed.

“You call out, my honor.” He said, now placing his hand on his heart. “I am hurt.”

“Oh hush, come and sit. I am sure you are ravished after your defeat.”

He laughed, sitting next to her, and she felt her cheeks burn up. He was so close he almost made her look like a dwarf compared to him. She handed him some fruits and bread, with only the water she had brought.

“You prepared for our breakfast?” He asked, looking at her as he bit into an apple, as she looked down.

“Well, all my horse rides tend to be long.” She told him, “My brother and I would ride for hours and have to find our own food. Our father would be livid.”

“You do have the blood of a dragon.” He teased her as she smiled at him, feeling accepted. “You dragon borns are so restless.”

“You like them restless.” She teased as he smirked.

“Just one.”

“I wonder who that could be.” She teased.

“Yes, I wonder too… couldn’t be the one with the skin kissed by the sun and the hair blessed by the gods themselves, her lips soft and pillowy ready to be kissed all night long.” He smirked now.

“She sounds beautiful.”

“She is.”

She looked over at Harwin as he looked over to her, and she felt the same sudden pull for him as she did for Rhaneyra; she wanted to kiss and devour him. She wanted to feel his skin pressed against hers, and she walked him to love her as she could love him. She almost moved in to kiss his lips, but she stopped.

“Your family-“He started to say, looking away from her now. “Would they make you pick a suitor the night of the wedding? So many are coming from the lands to see it?”

“I am having a feast.” She reminded him. “So I think it would be that night, if anything.” She said to him with a shoulder shrug.

“Oh yes, I forgot about the feast.” He smiled. “I should meet your parents then; what are they like?”

“Hm… Father? Proud man, strong, tall, dark, a warrior mindset. He is rather smart; he can sense anything from a mile away. Loves his family dearly and does anything to protect them. Was rather heartbroken when my mum died.” She said, shrugging her shoulders. “And my brother, I am sure you met.”

“Davros, yes, we’ve spoken.”

“Oh, have you?”

“Yes.” He smiled. “I heard you have a sister.”

“Yes, a brat.” She teased. “She is rather beautiful and is very opinionated. She is very much from Dorne.”

“Ah, I see.” He nodded his head. “And your father remarried, I assumed.”

“Yes, you are right, but in Dorne, you could have bastards, and no one cares, but he did remarry; I love her; she is charming, but she’s a strong woman. She knows what she wants, and I learned much from her.”

“I’m sorry you lost your mother.” He said as she looked at him with a sad smile.

“I am too, but I am not the only one who lost a mother, so we have to live on in their memory.” She grabbed Harwin’s hand softly, clasping it as he smiled, moving his fingers to intertwine their fingers.

They didn’t speak for a beat, almost remembering their own mothers, before Nymeria sighed.

“My father loves protectors.” She said, looking at him as if she was giving him a clue, and he nodded.

“Well, you are to be protected.” “You are a gem in this world, and you will be protected.” he smiled at her, brushing a curl out of her face, causing her to look down away from him, but he pushed her face up with his calloused fingers to make her look at him.

She bit down on her lip, and she could see him look at her lips as she looked back up at him. She wanted so badly to kiss him, but they couldn’t.

“And he loves loyalty.” She said to him. “And I am loyal to the heir, and he would be too.”

“As am I.” Harwin said. “and I will always be.”

He knew what she was asking him, and she smiled at him, now trying so hard to kiss him against the tree.

“I can’t wait till you meet Father.”

The sky started turning brighter, and they knew they had to return before rumors were said about them. Nymeria didn’t care because she wanted Harwin to ask her hand in marriage, but she knew Harwin was honorable and wouldn’t try to ruin his name. They didn’t race back as they enjoyed each other company and the horse rides before, and she knew she wanted more time with him, but he had duties, and so did she.

“Morrow…shall we meet?” He asked as they returned to the grounds, and she smiled at him.

“I would love that.” He nodded his head over to her.

“See you, my lady,” he said with a smile as he turned his horse back to his home, and she turned to bring Star Fyre back to her stable.
