Aemond closed the door of the chamber with a loud bang, keeping the two maids and the three guards from entering the room.

Edith's breathing was rapid and her heart raced as she stopped in the middle of the room and played with the fabric of her dress. They both knew exactly why the five servants were standing outside the door.

The queen had made it clear to them that she did not believe their lie about the deflowering on the wedding night. Of course, she had warned not only her daughter-in-law, but also her son, and expressed her will.

It was almost ridiculous, after all, she forced her son to have sex with his despised wife, but no matter how much hatred he might have, he would still do his duty. Aemond was aware of why the Greens needed this connection, it was obvious.

Also for Edith. She felt more than ever like a pawn or a horse handed in for breeding.

"I don't want to do this." She explained to him, standing up straight to appear confident, even though she wasn't at that moment. "And you don't want it either."

"What we want is not important." Decided Aemond for them both, and with a click he locked the door to the bedroom so no one could get in.

"So you want to do it?" Edith's face went pale. She didn't want to spend her first time with him and she didn't want to bear his children, but she knew her duty and if she wanted to keep her head, she had to do what was expected of her.

Who knows what this connection would be good for after all. Maybe this would help her with her plan?

Or maybe the two would fall madly in love, but that was perhaps just a wishful thinking.

Her thoughts drifted for a moment to Aemond's older brother. She still hadn't been able to talk to him about anything, even though she wanted it so much. Edith wondered if Aegon still wanted her. Maybe the two of them could be happy after all, secretly but happily.

But to be able to do that, she had to submit to survive.

Aemond didn't look convinced either. He had never found pleasure in sleeping with a woman. Maybe it was because Aegon had taken him to a brothel at an early age, but for the prince there were more important things than that.

Nevertheless, Aemond nodded and began to unlace his leather top. He seemed to like this kind of clothing, since he hardly ever wore anything else but leather.

Without a word, Edith also began to unlace her dress and take it off. As yesterday, she put the dress over the armchair and then, dressed only in her undergarment, lay down in bed, shyly hiding her body under the covers.

Almost unknowingly, the two looked at each other, although Edith was the only one without experience.

Aemond carefully put his clothes over the chair and then slowly walked towards the bed, wearing only his white tunic, which reached his thighs.

Edith got goose bumps at the sight of Aemond coming up to her and sitting down next to her on the bed, then he pulled the covers over his body as well. That was answer enough for her.

She took a deep breath inside and looked up at him, but Aemond didn't move and she didn't want him to. She lifted the blanket slightly and sat on his lap. Aemond let it wash over him, watching her every move as she took his hands and placed them on her hips.

Actually, Edith knew she didn't have to do this here. After all, the door was locked and the servants could not enter to witness the bedtime. The couple could have faked it this time too, but they didn't.

Edith leaned over to him and shyly placed her lips on his. Aemond did not move and let her do it. Only too gladly she would have said something, though she didn't really know what to say. Still, she parted her lips to ask him to do something, since it was awkward when he resisted her touch like that by doing nothing.

But her words were swallowed by his lips as he overcame himself and finally returned the kiss. His hands continued to rest on her hips, but after a moment he let his hands run over her back.

It was a slow and gentle kiss and their lips moved only slightly so they could both get used to the new feeling.

An indescribable feeling spread through Edith's stomach.

Except for their brief kiss at the wedding ceremony and the kiss this morning to free herself from his grip, they had never kissed before. To be honest, she had never kissed anyone like that. The kisses with Aegon had never been so gentle and careful and the ones with Jace had been shy and short.

If she didn't know better, she would think there was real emotion in this kiss as intense as it was. And somehow so passionate too.

They disengaged from each other first, to catch their breath.

Aemond put his forehead against hers and closed his eye. He didn't understand the situation himself. He hadn't imagined it like this, in fact, he hadn't wanted to imagine it at all, since such things didn't interest him... and didn't really care. Actually.

Slowly, she let her hands sweep down his arms to his shoulders, then she let them sweep down his chest, until finally she undid the strings of his shirt.

Almost in alarm, he put his hands on hers to stop her. "Don't." Aemond opined.

Questioningly she looked at him, but at the same time let go of his shirt and instead put her hands to his cheeks. Edith couldn't escape this marriage, she couldn't just run away. She could only try to make the best of it, that was the least she could do. And it would be better if she got along with her husband, even if the very thought gave her goosebumps.

"Please." She breathed against his lips before kissing him softly again.

This time, Aemond immediately returned the kiss and put his arms around her, hugging her tightly and holding her close.

Edith took this as a sign of his approval. Forgotten was all the trouble and the servants outside the door. Everything around the two seemed to blur and nothing else mattered anymore.

The couple, which hated each other so much, wanted each other now. They desired each other and longed for the possible passion. They both carried the blood of the dragon in their veins. The fire in them was preordained and there to burn themselves on it.

And at that moment, they literally wanted to be on fire.

Aemond's hands went under her undergarment and slowly he pushed it up until he had to release the kiss so he could take it off. The young woman was now completely naked on top of him, but it was not uncomfortable. Aemond was the first man to see her like this. The first man to stroke her naked curves, see her plump breasts and breathe a kiss on her neck.

Edith inhaled the air deeply and actually enjoyed his warm lips on her skin.

The two exchanged a longing look before Aemond grabbed her and switched positions with her so that she was now lying on her back and he was leaning over her, then he too took off his blouse and was now naked as well.

The young woman put her hands to his cheeks and pulled him down to her, pressing her lips firmly to his. The sudden nudity made her nervous after all and her heart beat fast and loud in her chest that she feared he could hear it.

But what she didn't know was that he felt the same. He had never felt this way with a woman before. The few times he had slept with a woman he had never been so excited and so full of feeling, yet they only kissed.

It was as if the hatred turned into passion.

Aemond stroked her cheek, over her breast and finally to her hip. He wanted to know and explore every inch of her beautiful body, but he treated her body carefully as if he could break her at any moment.

He pulled back after a few moments to calm himself down a bit and waited for her reaction. Edith was nervous, but she wanted to do it finally and so she nodded beggingly.

Their lips met again, the taste of the wine at dinner still sweet on their tongues. Edith felt as if electricity was traveling under her skin and her whole body was under tension. This tension literally transferred to him as their bodies touched as he laid his body on top of hers.

Aemond's hand went between her legs and slowly his fingers stroked her sensitive spot. If Aemond's body wasn't between her legs, Edith would surely have closed her legs in surprise. Whatever he did there with his fingers made her abdomen tingle.

"Ohh" escaped her and she closed her eyes.

His eyes immediately went to her face when he heard her moan. Despite the situation, it felt like a dream. He couldn't believe this was really happening and Edith couldn't believe she was letting him touch her. But it felt forbidden good.

His hand then moved to her hip and with his other hand he propped himself up next to her head and suddenly Edith felt something else between her legs. Something entirely new.

The two looked into each other's eyes and eyed each other. His violet eye looked at her almost pleadingly. Edith would have loved to tear the stupid eye patch off his head, but she knew he wasn't ready yet. It was amazing how far the two of them had come without screaming at each other or killing each other.

But their kisses forbade them to say even another word. Nothing left their lips except a surprised moan, which Edith could not hold back as Aemond slowly entered her. Without warning, he pushed his cock into her, but he gave her a moment to get used to him little by little.

Edith's hands rested on his shoulders. It was an extraordinary feeling to feel him inside her. At first it was uncomfortable and she desperately wanted to push him away, but once she got used to it after a few pushes from him, the pain turned into a pleasure that only he could satisfy at that moment.

"Oh Aemond..." she moaned.

She wanted it, she wanted him and for that she had to affect him too. Her mind was completely shut down and for once she could only think about him. Edith wanted to feel him.

He could see the change on her face as he watched her very closely and with her change, he changed too. Edith's moans brought back his confidence and his thrusts became faster and Edith louder. "Louder." Aemond demanded.

She didn't find it hard to fulfill his wish, because his body alone made her do it. No one wasted a thought on the 5 outside the door or that probably all of Red Keep could hear them.

Edith put her legs around his hips and her hands on his back to pull him closer. She wanted to feel his body all over her own. "Please." She asked him with her eyes closed, but then there at him decisively. "I want to hear you too."

Aemond sighed inwardly. Her words made his heart skip a beat and his body glow with lust. He grabbed her by her hips and held her tightly, as well as she held him tightly.

They both lost track of time and let themselves fall. They had never trusted each other as they did now. Just yesterday, Aemond would have beheaded anyone who said the two of them were lying together and he was enjoying it too.

He enjoyed it so much that after only a few minutes he found it hard to hold on. No woman had ever driven him this crazy or taken him this far before and the first time he seemed to really enjoy it.

Both of them never wanted to stop again.

In fact, he listened to her please, but also as it was with hers, his sounds were not fake.

Aemond took his hand off her hip and instead put it back between her legs, putting additional pressure on her sensitive spot with his fingers. With circular motions he almost drove her out of her mind. Edith wanted to enjoy this forever and wished so much to be able to stop time. She didn't want to know what would happen when the passion and fire was gone.

But at that moment the fire burned down on the two of them and time really seemed to stop, almost as if her wish would come true.

His hands were magical and his moans gave her goosebumps. Edith thought she was going to faint at any moment, but in fact it was Aemond who weakened. His body tensed before he relaxed again with a moan.

Of course Edith sensed the change and opened her eyes. Tensely she looked at him and suddenly felt something else. One thing no one had explained to her before.

The Targaryen prince enjoyed the moment while it lasted, then pulled out of her and lay on his back beside her.

Still the girl with brownish hair was watching her husband, as she was really surprised by the feelings she had experienced with him, but at the same time she was a little disappointed. Instantly she had to think about Aegon and what he had triggered in her with his tongue.

Aemond had not been able to do this.

Edith suddenly felt quite ashamed and pulled the bedspread over her naked body.

Neither of them said a word as their breathing slowly calmed down. Aemond was the first to move then and put his pants back on.

"Please say something..." she asked him and sat up.

Aemond had to smile, because just a moment ago she had asked him to do something else, but luckily he was sitting with his back to her and so she couldn't see his face. "You surprised me, princess." He replied and stood up.

Just this morning he had made fun of her new title and made it clear how much he hated to have given it to her. But now he was addressing her with it, and he seemed changed.

"Do you... think it would be appropriate to take a bath now?" the girl asked him, since it was already quite late. But when, if not now, they could prove their marriage consummation and escape the queen's insistence.

Aemond nodded. "Sit back. I'll have something prepared." Said the silver-haired one and put his robe and shoes back on, then left the shared bedroom.

Edith closed her eyes and leaned back into the pillows, pressing the blanket tightly against her naked body.

She felt alone.

And not only that she was really alone, Aemond had taken her virginity and left her behind here. But most of all, she was overcome with guilt and the feeling of having betrayed someone.

The door of the room was opened and two maids came in. They bowed to the princess and then went into the next room to prepare a bath. Aemond had really kept his word and Edith didn't know how to deal with his transformed nature. It felt strange.

Sighing, Edith put on her morning robe and followed the women into the next room, then watched them as they prepared the bath. They filled the tub with hot water, laid out towels and various soaps and creams.

It was stuff Edith didn't need. She just wanted to get in water and get clean, because she could still feel his hands and his lips on her skin. It had felt so good, but right now the girl couldn't handle the feelings. She was having a hard time processing it.

"Are you not feeling well, princess?" one of the women asked, starting to comb Edith's hair and put it up in a braid.

The woman's voice brought her back from her thoughts and the freeze she had fallen into. She couldn't believe what had happened a few minutes ago. "I'm fine." She answered and forced herself to smile. She had to play the happy wife even in front of the maids. "I'm just exhausted and need a bath." Acting embarrassed, Edith lowered her gaze and opened her robe.

The servant women understood her hint, of course; after all, they had been listening to the couple from the hallway.

The princess didn't even want to think about it, because it would certainly embarrass her.

One took her robe from her and the other helped Edith get into the tub, feeling their gazes hotly on her exposed body. "Please leave me alone now." Asked the girl as she sat in the hot water.

The maids nodded and left the room. Surely they would now run to the queen and tell her about it, never mind that it was already late at night.

The water was much too hot, but Edith did not feel the difference. She carried the blood of the dragon and was immune to the heat. Her father had always told her stories about former Targaryens walking through fire. She had always wondered how much truth there was behind these stories. As a little girl she had always wanted to try it, but at the same time she had been too afraid.

Now she was grown up. And married. She lived in the Golden Cage of Enemies and was already risking her life. Maybe she should give it a try.

Edith thought of her father's dragon egg, which was still hidden in her old room. She really needed to get it and hide it, but most importantly, she needed to get it to hatch.

You could hear the door of the room open and immediately Edith recognized Aemond's footsteps. It wasn't long before the Targaryen joined her in the adjoining room.

"Where have you been?" asked Edith tiredly.

Aemond tried to remain calm, after all they had just shared something and for once were not arguing. In his mind came his mother's words saying that he should pull himself together, but just by her simple question he felt controlled.

Yet he was as much a pawn as anyone else in the game of green against black and the other way around.

"I had your bath prepared for you." He explained emotionlessly and stopped at the door.

Edith looked at him skeptically, because she knew he was lying. Maybe he had told the maids when he went out, but the women had been standing in front of the door waiting and he had disappeared for a while afterwards.

She decided not to say anything, however, and leaned back in the wooden tub, avoiding eye contact with him by closing her eyes.

Aemond struggled with himself and then forced himself to sit down on a stool next to the tub. His eyes were almost curiously on his wife, as he was surprised at her non-existent anger. Normally she would have started a fight by now, but she didn't.

"I lied." Confessed the silver-haired one quietly.

Surprised, Edith opened her eyes and looked at her husband. "I know." She answered quietly as well.

He would have liked to sigh, since he was apparently so transparent of her.

"I had this made for me a long time ago, but I never wore it and kept it hidden. I want you to wear it so everyone knows you are mine." Aemond explained with a lowered gaze. From his pocket he took out a small object, which he now held up for Edith to look at.

The necklace literally shone. It was a plain silver and had radiant sapphires set into it - the same sapphires as his new eye, which lay hidden behind his eye patch.

Fascinated, she sat upright in the tub and looked at the necklace in his hand, ignoring his second sentence. She didn't want to be his, but she had to play along.

Aemond was playing too, and he knew what he was doing. He had never intended to give the necklace to anyone, especially to a woman, and especially he didn't want to give it to Edith, but it would serve its purpose. Not only Edith tried to influence and exploit him for her purposes, because he tried as well.

He knelt down next to the tub, in which his lawful wedded wife was still sitting, and put the necklace around her neck. " Beautiful." He commented when he saw the necklace on her and indeed he liked the sight more than expected.

"She's really pretty, thank you, Aemond." She smiled. Her hand automatically went to the chain around her neck. She was an exceptionally pretty necklace.

Aemond smirked and wanted to sit back down on the stool, but Edith grabbed his shoulder with her free hand and held him. Then she sat up and leaned over the edge of the tub so she could place her lips on his.

Surprised and at the same time pleased by her reaction, he returned the kiss and put a hand to her cheek as he did so.

"Keep me company." She asked him breathing heavily as the kiss broke away. Aemond looked at her willingly and nodded before stripping off as well and joining her in the water.

Edith didn't know herself why she was doing this, but right now it felt right, though maybe she was just confused and overwhelmed by her feelings. She tried to tell herself this was all for her family's plan, but it felt forbiddenly good for that.

Not only did their behavior change, but so did their feelings towards each other. The hatred and enmity seemed to fade into the background as the two tried to jump over their shadows and allow something new to happen.

Edith sat on his lap and put her arms around his neck. She barely sat on him when Aemond pressed his lips to hers again and pulled her closer. The kiss, so gentle at the beginning, quickly became wilder and Edith felt that tingling in her lower abdomen again.

Without another word or a single eye contact, both explored the other's body with their hands, lips and tongues until Edith positioned herself so that he could enter her.

With a moan and her eyes closed, she rested her head on the back of her neck. It was still a new feeling for her to feel him inside her, especially in this position it felt indescribable, but already much more pleasant than the last time.

Aemond bent his head forward and spread kisses on her collarbone, sucking firmly on her skin while his hands clasped her ass.

As if exchanged, the two sought each other's closeness. Shared kisses and passionate moans as Edith began to move her hips on him.

Still, it was only a matter of time before the two burned each other completely.
