and i wake with your memory over me

When she tells him she loves him (her heart in her throat), she’s not prepared for his reaction.

He grabs her, pulling her close. She can smell the ale on his breath before he kisses her, that harsh, fermented brew she choked down at the feast. But now, it tastes sweet on his tongue, and she wants nothing more than to melt into his embrace, to forget the past two days, all the fighting and the dead, and their last bitter argument in the crypts.

She trembles and sighs against his lips, and his tentative kiss quickly expands into a greedy, demanding exploration of her mouth. It’s easy, so easy, to give in, to claw at the front clasps of his gambeson as he deftly yanks loose the ties of her gown, backing her against a table. Her head spins.

But not even the heat of their kiss can thaw the memory of his icy disregard the past few days.

With some effort, she turns her head to break the kiss. “Stop,” she gasps, crossing her arms over her chest to hold closed her undone gown. “Not like this. Not when you’re drunk.” 

Stunned, Jon releases her. When she meets his stormy gaze, he rakes his hand through his hair and stumbles back a few steps, collapsing on the edge of his bed. With a ragged breath, he drops his face in his hands.

“I can’t—I can’t go on like this, Dany,” he rasps. She’s perplexed until he lifts his head to look at her. “We could’ve died. You—” He cuts himself off and shakes his head. “If you’re angry with me—because of what I told you before—”

Now she’s the one who’s stunned. “Angry? Me? You’re the one who’s all but shunned me since the moment we got here! Who can barely look at me, ever since you found out—” Her lips tremble, emotion clotting her throat, choking off her words.

He stands again and swiftly closes the distance between them. She sucks in a breath when he cups her jaw with both hands, lifting her face to his. “I’m looking at you now,” he husks out, nostrils flaring in defiance. His dark eyes bore into hers, searching. The hunger in his voice holds an edge of desperation.

“Let me see you,” he pleads.
