' ๐ould you like to take their seeds home with you, your grace? ' a lush garden, let alone to grow wild as was the intention left behind by her late aunt marissa for her daughters, tangles of blackberry and , blossoms of rhododendron in brilliant bursts of sunset hues, in shades of blue like the twilight hour. moonblooms and foxglove burst forth with pollen and petal, even beneath their feet; creeping over the walking stones was the wooly thyme that had in it's bountiful bundles of fuzzy little leaves and swaths of purpling blooms, clover with petals folded to their stems as it slumbered, awaiting the pale gleam of sunlight to wake anew. ' to grow within the castle. '
โฑ โ ๐ฝHAELLA โ ? โ one or both muses have been pining for a while,ย receiver body worships sender by kissing all over their body and giving them oral.
it's the sort of gown that no mortal man should ever lay his filth ridden hands on... torwyn had held velvet before โโ spoils taken from greenlander ships, half ruined by seawater and smoke once back on land โโ but never anything like this. THIS SILK THAT WHISPERED BENEATH HIS FINGERS EACH TIME HE DARED PUSH IT. women from the isles didn't wear dresses that closer resembled the hoard of treasure he so often sought, and he's removed many. they wore roughspun and sealskin, they laughed with split lips and shoved men harder than they fucked them... but this?
this fine as cobweb thread, pale beneath candlelight, stitched through with silver so delicate he briefly feared ( or hoped ) one careless touch might unravel it entirely [ ... ] IT DID NOT BELONG BENEATH HANDS LIKE HIS. hands scarred by rope burn, by salt, by the pull of nets and the grip of axes. and yet here @summerhells lied beneath him wearing it; as soft as something dreamt. allowing him to touch it. to touch her. even when his skin caught.
ironborn don't give, they take... and yet.
โโ gods, โโ whispered, hoarse at the edges. his parted mouth seemed to be following a vein โโ kisses hungry in their firmness but not quite hurried. a slow press of lips against warm skin instead; the center of her throat, a delicate collarbone he all but swallowed down the desire to bite. AND LOWER TOWARD THE DIP OF THAT EMBROIDERED NECKLINE WHILE HIS HAND CLUTCHING AT HER THIGH MOVED HIGHER, pulling fabric up with it. the dress and the flesh beneath it inhabited all the luxuries that belonged solely to her; her warmth, the evidence of her very life, and her scent he wished to lap up like water. something faintly floral, clean, ( expensive in a way he couldn't name ) rather than leather and sea salt. he could feel the quickened flutter of her breath โโ the rise and fall beneath bodicework worth more coin than anything he had ever owned [ ... ] and it was not only hunger that guided him then, as he slowly lowered himself down the length of her body, but reverence. โโ you are too fine a thing for this world... โโ
it's only once he could feel the soft skin of legs ( woefully hidden from him for far too long ) against his palm that he decides he couldn't possibly waste another moment outside of her skirts... and so rough hands that had been in the throes of practicing restraint would finally grab โโ push. bunch what seems to him to be all the silk in the seven kingdoms up toward her waist until he's able to slot himself between thighs and settle [ ... ] IF HE MUST SUFFOCATE BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF DRESS AND TREMBLING SKIN ALIKE, SO BE IT. death between the thighs of a princess would be far more fortunate than how ironmen are more often than not destined.
โโ tell me to stop, โโ he says quietly amidst trailing yet another wet line of kisses along her inner thigh โโ cheek languidly pressed to the skin, blue gaze watching her from behind the dark hair that had fallen into them. THOUGH THE WORDS SOUNDED JUST AS STRAINED AS HIS TROUSERS. โโ and i will. โโ
โช @summerhells. "It was a royal affair, the women who were sought out by the King to become potential candidates for the heir's wife. Rhaella was merely in the corner, away from the spectacle. All her face screamed was pity- pity for all the women. She was a child bride, forced into a marriage... but that was the fate of all women. The Queen took her time speaking with each woman brought to court, even Sabina. The pair were having dinner in the Queen's solar. "Tell me about Lys," she said, offering a very broken smile to Sabina."
there is a strange energy at court. one that she imagines everyone is feeling, given the state of many of the crowdโs faces. a nervousness that extends beyond seeing their daughters being a possible match for the heir to the throne. she had been invited to the festivities and even more surprising, invited to have supper with the queen. however, she was under no illusions about her being a prospect for prince rhaegar. nor would she want to be, if she was honest.ย
despite her own cautiousness, the queen appears to be a kind woman. quiet but with a palpable sadness. โlys is beautiful. very warm, but the summer sea keeps it cooler.โ she is happy to speak about her homeland, a twinge of homesickness she has never managed to shake off. โthe markets have everything you could want. fruits, spices, fabrics.โ
