Oh, come on! Really?! Not this again!

Satine groaned aloud in frustration as she nudged her horse to go faster when Oberyn had rode next to her, caching up to her quicker than she could ever realize. It had been like this for over a week now.

She would think that she was safe and sound until then she would hear something in the distance, pack her camp back up, and ride away as fast as possible. She would get him off of her trail, but he always somehow kept on finding her in the end.

And now it was really starting to fucking peace her off. She couldn't even get a good night's sleep without feeling paranoid and having to run away again. Satine sighed heavily with a little growl in her throat as she could see his dark hair in the corner of her eye.

"Give up, Lannister!" Oberyn yelled at her through the wind hitting them.

"Never, you brute!" Satine laughed richly.

Her laugh rang through the viper's ears incessantly which was causing unwanted feelings from before to resurface. Everything about this girl was planted inside of his mind and he suddenly wanted to forget he ever figured out her true identity. Oberyn wanted to see her in the most intimate of positions…he wanted to see her smile up at him as she put him in her mouth and-no, you must not think of a Lannister of all people like that way! You know what she's done to you! Lannisters will never change.

Oberyn's chest rumbled in slight anger at his wayward thoughts of Satine Lannister and so he nudged his stallion to ride even faster, the hooves charging violently against the ground.

Oberyn grunted as he was now side-by-side with her horse and he flew across the small distance and into her. They fell hard into the ground as she moaned in pain from the impact.

He held her arms above her head again and she muttered in irritation, "Not this shit again."

Satine thrashed her body from side to side violently, struggling as well as kicking her feet until Oberyn had his knees stabbed on her thighs to keep her still. Satine suddenly stopped and glared up at Oberyn.

"Why? Why are you doing this? I just want to go back to my family!"

Oberyn almost felt like he could believe her words, but yet as quickly as the thought came it just as quickly went away. He chuckled. "I doubt that, girl. So what are you doing back in Westeros?"

She rolled her eyes. "Go fuck yourself!"

Oberyn would be lying if he said that he didn't like the soft curves of her body pressed nicely into his own body. His fingers tightened a little around her wrists. She was so soft…her lips looked kissable, plump and shaped into perfection.

In his mind, Satine Lannister was beyond beautiful.

Oberyn remembered the way she looked at him when they first met and every time after that. There was a promise in her emerald eyes along with a strange amusement dancing in them as well. The promise in her eyes that was promising him that there was no one in the world she so ever wanted to see, she only saw him.

That promise had died.

Now she wanted to be away from him desperately. No, she actually wanted to take the knife from her belt and stab him in order to escape him.

And then this cat and mouse game will continue. For some reason, the mere thought of their game cause a small curves of his lips to shape into the tiniest of smiles.

Her glare ignited at the sight of his smile and she pursed her lips. "Let. Me. Go."

"I can't do that. My brother wants to see you."

"Every one wants to see me these days. What? Do I have a zit on my face? Have I grown three breasts or something? Do you all think me so stupid because I am a blond? Well, get in line, Viper, because everyone wants to see, but family comes first."

"Oh, then why did you leave?"

She shook her head as she scoffed, "You know who I am and where I come from. Tell me, if you had the same fate as I did, would you as well want to escape the shame your family has brought upon you-the constant judgment and fear you get from other? It's the most shameful thing of my life to be called a Lannister. I'm glad that I went away, I don't regret my decision. The only reason that I am back is for my brother, Tyrion. He hasn't had the best of fortnights this past year. I am only here to see my brother, talk to him, spend time with him, and leave again. If you think for a single moment that I give a shit about your family, Martell, then you can remember my words that I will tell you right now which is that I would stick my hand in a horse's ass than be involved in the petty hatred our families have for each other. Now unhand me!"

Oberyn stared blankly at the woman beneath him. He suddenly felt his cock twitch in pleasure. He knew that he had to get away from her if he still wanted to keep his cock and balls intact. Besides, his brother would be angry with him if he would out that Oberyn had bedded the Lannister girl.

Satine returned his blank stare, but hers held a little flare of fury in them. Oberyn's hands slowly slid down her arms and held her by the neck gently, wanting to see what she would do if he did. Satine let a small gasp escape her mouth, and the attraction she felt from their first meeting suddenly washed over her.

Oberyn unconsciously leaned in to kiss her and just as their lips were about to touch her own when she quickly brought her knee up and then slapped him across the face, pushing him off of her. Satine stood up and then mumbled, "I'm sorry."

As she mounted her horse, she told him, "Sorry, Oberyn, I have things to steal and people to kill today."

Oberyn watched her ride away from him in the distance as he clutched his crotch. Gods, this woman! This is the second time she has kneed me. If she does it again, they may just fall off…Ellaria will not be happy if that happens.

"Why haven't you found her yet," Doran demanded of Oberyn.

Oberyn sighed. "She's…I can see why they call her a snake. She keeps on slipping through my grasp every time I come close to her."

"Like a game of cat and mouse." Doran asked.

"Exactly like that," Oberyn snapped then ran an irritated hand through his hair. "How? How does she keep on pulling me in and then run away without a scratch on her?"

Doran then started to laugh after a moment of silence. Oberyn whirled around to his brother and accused furiously, "Do you find this comical, brother? I am pissed off!"

"I do find it comical simply because I knew that I should of have warned you not to get romantically involved with her-oh, wait," Doran stopped smiling. "I did warn you, Oberyn. I specifically told you that she is manipulative and very beautiful. She knows how to wrap people around her little finger and then hold them there. Gods, she even has the Kingslayer waiting around for her."

Oberyn knitted his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Doran stood up and walked to where Oberyn stood which was near the balcony that overlooked the water gardens. "Every boy and man turned their heads when Satine Lannister walked by them, giving them a smile and this look in here eyes-"

"A promise," Oberyn realized. "She looked at me the same way."

"That's her trick, Oberyn. She knows how men want to be looked at. I assume she got that look from her brother, Jaime." Doran explained. "I remember how Jaime Lannister looked at his sisters especially Satine. He looked at her the way all women wanted to be looked at. The same look that seems to charm the entire female population which you give to women yourself, Oberyn."

"How come you did not tell her father of this then? It would have been to our advantage," Oberyn told him.

Doran shook his head. "No. Tywin would not have looked twice at the accusations of his sweet daughter who happens to hold a resemblance to his late wife. Any dimwit can tell that he favorites her out of them all. Jaime would not think twice about cutting my throat if it meant that his precious sister's reputation was hanging in the balance. He cares for her."

"His weakness," Oberyn added. "Should I ask why you are telling me this?"

Doran smiled at his brother. "It may be used to your advantage when you are against The Kingslayer."

As Doran turns and started to walk away from him, he called over his shoulder, "Or maybe even The Black Mamba herself. She holds a tender spot in her heart for her siblings, remember?"
