A little piece of something...
She swallowed against the urge to refuse him this request. She didn’t want to see herself. She was pale against his golden skin. She was too broad and nearly covered him completely from view. Her hair was falling limply around her shoulders while his shone in the candle light. Her lips were big and bloody, while his were plump and smooth. The flaws that made her who she was blinded her, but he did not seem to see them.
“You think you are not beautiful,” he said as he trailed a finger down her side, tickling her. She laughed and he smiled. “We have talked about this before, but now I can show you what I see.” He gripped her hips and pulled her to him, his long fingers almost covering her flat stomach. “I want your eyes to stay on your body as I describe it to you.” She opened her mouth and he shook his head. “Do not speak until I’m done. Do you understand?” Brienne narrowed her eyes, but nodded. “Good. Let’s start with a place you will not fight me…your eyes.” She licked her lips and waited. “They are the bluest I have ever seen. When we met, I wanted to get lost in them. Dive into them. It gave me pause and I lost myself for a moment. I could not believe how clear they were and every day since then I still am amazed at their beauty.”
She really studied her eyes for a moment. They were blue. She knew they were unique, the color if not the shape, but to her- they were merely blue eyes. She remembered Galladon’s eyes as being truly magnificent. They were blue with touches of green. She always wanted those touches of green, but now with Jaime’s words in her ear, she could see that her eyes were pretty as well.
He touched her cheek with his index finger, drawing a line between her many freckles. “When I was a kid,” he said softly. “I used to lay in the clearing and try to make pictures in the stars. The moon is my master as a wolf, but the stars… I have always loved the stars. Your freckles are like stars upon your skin. I wish to know each as I tried to know each of the ones that sparkled in the sky.” She moved into his touch her eyes following his hand. She never liked her freckles. She had too many, not a dusting or a few, but at that moment she loved them. He moved his hand along her chin, his thumb tracing her bottom lip. “I could kiss your lips for the rest of my life and I plan to. Every day, Brienne, that I wake up before you, I will kiss you till you awaken in my arms. Every midday, I will find you and wrap you in my arms, until I get my fill of your sweetness. And every evening as the moon raises, I will take pleasure in your embrace until we can do it all again the next morn.” Tears gathered in her eyes at his words.
