"Each moment with you leaves echoes that linger in my veins." for cassandra
her eyes found his, brown hues meeting dark purple, her heart pounding against her chest. all her life, she tried so hard to be good, to be the perfect lady. a worthy heir for storm’s ends, even if she was a girl. she never felt good enough. no matter how hard she tried, she was always compared to her sisters. not pretty enough, not smart enough. but whenever she was with aegon, it was different. he could see right through her, and make her feel things no one ever had before.
❝ your words are dangerous, your majesty… for they make my heart believe in something that cannot be. ❞
cassandra lifted a hand, fingers brushing gently along his cheekbone. she let her fingers slide to the side of his neck, feeling the thrum of his pulse against her palm.
❝ tell me, my king, how many ladies have heard those words before? ❞
