(Ellion's POV)
It was the next day after I lay with Queen Rhaella once again. The way she moaned into my ear was so arousing that I couldn't help but thrust into her body so many times.
But that was last night, and we had to act as if nothing had happened. She was so insecure, the poor woman. She thought that because I was bedding someone much younger than her, I would neglect her. I would never do such a thing. I have something good with her.
All I have to do is protect it. I couldn't just ruin it by breaking her heart. I do have to be careful, there are so many women that I've bedded in the same place.
"Ser Ellion." I heard a familiar voice behind me
I had been walking down the hall when I heard the voice call out and I turned around to see Lady Casanna walking up to me in a hurried manner.
As she reached me, she gave me a slight smile, "Ser Ellion, I wish to make this quick."
"My Lady." I said, "What can I help you with?"
"I cannot forget about our time back in Lannisport." She said, "Do you not feel the same?"
I had expanded my Observation Haki outwards, checking if there were lingering ears to listen to our conversation. I noticed that there wasn't, which meant that we can speak freely.
"I do." I said with a slight smile, "I did enjoy how our bodies were pressed together while I bedded you."
She blushed slightly, "I do wish to experience that once again." She said softly, "But I do not think we'll be able to do that here. My husband, Lord Steffon, has kept a firm grip on me and kept me close. I find this to be a risk, speaking to you now."
"Why is that?" I asked, tilting my head, "Is something the matter?"
She sighed, "Something has gotten into him." She said, "Mayhaps he has heard of the Masked Party back then, but he does not suspect me at all. At least, I do not think so."
"Hm...." I said, "Well, if you wish to feel my warmth again, say the word. I can arrange that."
"How so?" She asked, looking rather intrigued
"You let me worry about that." I said, "Just tell me that you sleep alone in your chambers."
She nodded, "I do." She said, "Mayhaps I will."
I smiled, "I will give you a visit tonight then." I said, "Worry not about anything. The Red Keep is filled with such beauties, it would be difficult to contain myself."
She blushed even more, "Am I one of them?"
"Of course." I said, "But enough of that, My Lady. We must go about our days, because we don't know who could speak."
She nodded in agreement, "Of course." She said, "I expect you then. Tonight."
*************
"Ah, there you are." Ashara Dayne was walking up to me as I was standing next to the gondola in the Secret Gardens, "I wished to speak to you, Ser Ellion."
"My Lady." I said as I straightened up, "What can I help you with?"
She reached me, giving me a somewhat serious expression, "I wish to ask you something." She said, "If you don't mind me, of course."
I shook my head, "I do not mind at all." I said, "Go right ahead."
She sighed, "What is it with you and Malora?" She asked, "She has claimed you. Is it really true?"
I shrugged, "Lady Malora is quite the woman, I must admit." I said, "She is stubborn and hard-headed, it will be difficult to change her mind on anything. She wishes to be mine, that is all I can say on the matter. But marriage with her would require a miracle. And as for being her lover, that could cause problems. But no matter, if I truly want to, I will make it work."
"And...." She said softly, "Do you want to?"
"I don't know." I said, "I'm in a position where I don't know what I want."
"I see." She said
There are Ladies everywhere, beautiful women that I wish to have to myself. While it would be no issue for me to have them in my lover's circle, keeping them would be rather difficult. Society at the moment is in a position where this to be unearthed, a scandal would happen, followed by conflict. I don't know if it is the right move to even go forth with it.
I wanted to fuck them, all of them.
But it would ruin my plans. I needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike and regarding the information that Rhaegar told me, I might have to wait a bit more and make that move.
"Ser Ellion." She said, "If I were to ask you something, would you consider it?"
I looked at her, "What is it?"
"I am from Dorne." She said, "And Dorne is rather much more accepting of lovers, if you understand what I mean."
"Oh." I said, "Yes."
"So...." She said, fidgeting with her hands, "If marriage would be rather difficult, would you take a Dornish woman as a Paramour; someone who holds equal or greater social status in Dorne?"
I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
She looked at me, her beautiful eyes staring right at me, "I feel something for you." She said, "I cannot explain it, but it is as if you have charmed me, Ser Ellion. It matters not to me what your true nature is, if you have a history of bedding multiple women. I....I don't know."
"Are you suggesting that you are to be my lover? You want me as your Paramour?" I asked, "That's quite the request."
She blushed slightly, "It is only a suggestion." She said, "You are illegitimate and with no House. Marriage would be difficult, of course. I mean, you could....but it would cause trouble. However, if it's just.....you know, a Paramour....mayhaps the Dornish Lord would accept it...and....."
"To be my lover...." I said, "You must first bed me, My Lady. And despite the rumors, we have not shared a bed."
"Oh..." She said, blushing even more, "That is correct."
I smiled, "I'll consider it." I said, "But make no mistake...."
"I'd be a fool to refuse."
