daemon targaryen / @valyrianvows. ♡
his eyes could not help themselves. as she stood up and the fabric of her gown shifted, daemon's eyes followed. the dress was beautiful, but her body was the true work of art. who was he if not a man who appreciated beauty? her beauty was the kind men went to war for. the kind they wore songs about. it wasn't just the blood of the dragon, the beauty that came from their descendants of old valyria...
he understood, that she was special. the air shifts as she approaches. the breeze blows in her scent. she smells like soap, spices, and dragonfire. she had been to see her dragons today. he could tell. there was a specific scent dragonriders held. but it was the scent of her flesh that really stood out to him. something truly unique, truly daenerys. daemon's eyes travelled up from her hips and met her own, violet on violet. his eyes burned with a hunger and a devotion that he had not felt in quite some time. without missing a beat, without any hesitation or fear, he stepped into her space, breaking any distance that remained between them.
one of his calloused hands cupped her cheek—the touch was gentle. it was surprising that one such as himself still remembered how to be gentle. but she was one of the few things in life that deserved his gentleness. his fingers brushed against her soft skin, the pad of his thumb pressing against her lower lip as he stared at her like she was the reason the sun rose each morning.
“ i will destroy anything that dares to rise against us, ” he breathed the words quietly in their mother tongue, his other hand coming up to cup the other side of her face. “ i will burn the seven kingdoms. i will burn the lands beyond. i will build an empire that would rival old valyria, and i will lay it at your dainty feet. ” his grip tightens, he brings himself closer to her, his forehead brushing against hers. “ tell me what you wish me to claim in your name, and i will. i will bring you the heads of every traitorous lord that would call himself king of our lands. i will burn any who dare say a bad word about you. i will feed their screaming children to our dragons. ” pulling back just slightly, he tilted her head so she could look into his eyes, to see the depth of his devotion... and that he meant every word.
“ i am your sword. i am your rage. let me bleed for you, my fire. let me rain blood and fire down on our enemies. ”
