"I'm not going to be added to your collection," you stated.

Yara cocked an eyebrow at you, baffled by your statement. "What?"

"You're not getting me to be just another number. I know you've made you way around many men and women of Westeros along with a good amount of people from Essos too. I'm not going to just be another whore you get your way with."

You and Yara had never been in an official relationship but you couldn't deny the flirting that the two of you shared and you got along terribly well. There had been some intimacy but nothing that had led you into bed and you didn't plan to let that happen, not until you knew that she was happy to be with you alone for the duration of your relationship. You weren't going to be false and believe it will last for eternity, but you couldn't handle a relationship where she was unfaithful.

"I've never seen you as a whore," she stated. "I apologise if I made it seem that way."

"You never insinuated it, but I know you know your way around most whore houses. I do care for you Yara and I have done for a long time but if we are to give ourselves to each other, I cannot cope with you being with another. I will not see you negatively if you don't wish to give me your honour but if you wish to allow us to be together, I would need you to be loyal to me," you smiled weakly.

You loved her but you would rather have her as a friend rather than as nothing at all. You feared that asking her to be loyal to just you would make her hate you but nevertheless you wanted her to be happy and if that meant she slept with the whole of Westeros then that would have to be the case.

She shook her head at you, taking your hands within hers, pulling you to your feet so that you were stood close together, almost touching.

"I've always loved you," she grinned. "And if abstaining from other women and men to be able to have you in my arms and in my bed, then it is a sacrifice that I am willing to take."

You couldn't help but smile at Yara. This was the answer you always wanted but had doubted that you would find.

"I love you Yara," you said, pulling her lips in to press into yours.
