Hi guys I'm super sorry it has taken me so long to update! Life has been hectic! Anyway I've started a writing course so if updates are a bit slower its because I'm juggling work, my course and this! But I love you guys so read and enjoy! Oh I'm also debating over a few plot twists...


Dove was sat in a huge bubble filled bath, hugging her knees to her chest. She stared emptily into space recent events weighing heavily on her mind. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts and her new maid Fiona spoke.

"Miss Tyrell, Petyr Baelish is asking to see you"

Dove groaned and sank deeper into the rose scented bubbles.

"Miss?" Fiona questioned

"Send him in" Dove answered

"But-" Fiona began sounding shocked

"Send him in" Dove repeated more forcefully not in the mood to be questioned.

Minutes later the door opened and Baelish swooped into the room. His devious eyes landed on Dove who regarded him coolly, his eyebrows shot up briefly at Dove's clear lack of clothing but other than that his face remained a cunning mask.

"And what have I done to deserve this pleasure Baelish?" Dove called

"Others might believe that the pleasure is all mine" Baelish answered and gestured to the bath.

"But we aren't like others" Dove retorted with a mischievous smile.

"True" Baelish agreed his eyes never once leaving hers.

"What do you want Baelish?" Dove questioned, of all the people she had met she found Baelish the most unsettling and wanted to end their meeting as soon as possible.

"I'm here to propose an alliance" He informed her smoothly.

Dove chuckled and shook her head slightly.

"Baelish I trust you about as far as I can throw you" She stated playfully but there was a warning in her eyes.

"The feeling is mutual Miss Tyrell" Baelish smirked and began to waltz towards her. Dove watched him carefully, he reminded her of a scavenger confidently prowling towards a predator who had just made a kill.

"Tell me Baelish does your smug smile come naturally or do you practice in front of the mirror?" She asked dryly.

"You sound like your grandmother" Baelish laughed but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Thank you" Dove replied as Baelish reached her, he casually seated himself on the edge of the bath and gave Dove one of his signature smug smiles.

"It's a pity Olenna has allowed your beauty to be dulled by that sharp tongue. Otherwise you would have been quite the prized rose" Baelish said softly and gently ran a finger across Dove's pale cheek.

Dove flinched away and quickly seized Baelish's finger her eyes blazing with silent rage. She sharply twisted his finger back and a strangled hiss of pain escaped Baelish's lips.

"Don't touch what you can't afford Petyr" Dove growled and twisted his finger further back "If you dare do that again everyone will start calling you Nofingers" She added fiercely

"Yes I forgot you only liaise with wealthy men like Tywin Lannister, how much exactly do you cost him a night?" Baelish asked nastily attempting not to buckle under the pressure Dove was applying to his finger.

"You could give me my weight in gold and I'd never be yours Baelish" Dove hissed and released him but not before giving him a contemptuous look.

"Very well I can't say I'm not surprised besides deep down I'm only attracted to your potential power" Baelish admitted as he rubbed some feeling back into his abused finger.

"Ah yes that brings us back to your proposal" Dove stated and squeezed some body wash into the palm of her hand.

"You'll need an ally who has spies across the Seven Kingdoms once you're queen" Baelish declared his clever eyes watching Dove rub body wash along her arms, shoulders and chest.

"Which leaves either you or Varys, I truly am spoilt for choice" Dove retorted sarcastically and splashed water over herself therefore clearing away the body wash.

"On Varys' chess board you will merely be a pawn but on mine you would be the Queen" Baelish stated honestly.

"Well I'm flattered but I won't be anyone's chess piece" Dove bit back.

Baelish and Dove both remained silent for a moment before Baelish ended it.

"Do you realise that you have the same cold calculated stare as Tywin?" He queried

"Perhaps it's because we both have green eyes" Dove answered without missing a beat.

Baelish smiled as if he was enjoying a private joke before continuing.

"We were allies once Dove, why are you so hesitant this time?" He asked her, his dark eyes fixing confidently into her green ones.

Dove stood up so she now towered over Baelish, water trickled off her naked body and her lips curved into a cunning smile.

"Everything is different this time Baelish, you said so yourself. I'm no longer a pawn, I'm a Queen"

Baelish smiled at her words and outstretched his hand for her. Dove took his hand and allowed him to help her out of the bath. Baelish the proceeded to leave her side and retrieve her robe.

"A word of advice for the future Queen" Baelish began and moved behind Dove to help her into her robe. She slipped her arms into it and Baelish lifted it onto her shoulders. His hands lingered on her shoulders and he lent forward so his lips were inches from her ear.

"Do not underestimate me" He hissed and his hands tightened threateningly on her shoulders.

Dove did not flinch instead she laughed icily and turned to face Baelish. She pressed her body against his and her lips hovered a breath away from Baelish's.

"Darling take my advice, don't overestimate your power or someone may have to bring you back to reality" Dove purred and chastely trailed her lips over his "You have no idea who you are dealing with" She added darkly before walking away toward the door.

Dove opened it and gave Baelish her most winning smile.

"Our meeting is over, good night Baelish" She said cheerfully

Baelish smirked and made his way to the door, but not before pausing beside Dove one last time.

"I believe its check for now Miss Tyrell, until next time" He said silkily and then swiftly exited.

Once he was gone Dove exhaled and tightened her robe, more than relieved that their duel was over.


"Ok so you've done your homework?" Dove questioned as she tucked Harvey into bed.

"Yes" He answered

"All of it?" Dove pressed arching an elegant eyebrow at him.

"Yes, grandmother Olenna helped me. Then she taught me all about the different poisons there is-" Harvey began enthusiastically.

"She did what?" Dove exclaimed

"Oh I wasn't supposed to tell you about that" Harvey retorted sheepishly

"I bet you weren't, I think I need to have words with grandmother regarding appropriate topics for appropriate ages" Dove responded trying not to laugh, she couldn't believe Olenna had spent the afternoon teaching her seven year old about poisons whilst she looked over data regarding her charity idea.

"No don't Mum it was really interesting, please" Harvey cried and pouted at her.

"Ugh who can say no to that face" Dove chuckled and ruffled Harvey's curls "Fine just this once I'll pretend you didn't tell me"

"Yay you're the best" Harvey beamed and threw himself into Dove's arms.

"I'm sorry I haven't spent as much time with you as I used to" Dove sighed and hugged him tightly back before releasing him.

"It's ok Mum, I know you're busy with your queen stuff" Harvey replied brightly

"I know but that's still no excuse. I promise to make more time for you and me, ok?"

"Ok" Harvey grinned

"It's a plan then" Dove smiled and lightly kissed him on the forehead before standing up.

"Goodnight Mum" Harvey said sleepily and snuggled into bed.

"Goodnight, oh did you brush your teeth?" Dove questioned just remembering when she reached the door

"Yes Mum" Harvey sighed

"Just checking" Dove retorted "Goodnight" She added and turned off the light.

As she excited Harvey's room her phone buzzed. Dove pulled it out of her jean's pocket and saw that she had a text from Tywin.


I hope you have not forgotten
our meeting.


Dear Grumpy,

Of course I haven't forgotten!
I'll see you at 8:00pm.

Love,

Your future Queen.


Don't sass me girl


Don't call me girl!


You called me grumpy.


That's because you are!
I on the other hand am
not a girl, I'm a woman.


Don't sass me woman.


Much better.
But don't tell me what
to do grumpy.


You're maddening.


So are you!


A minute or so past and Dove realised he wasn't going to reply. She contemplated what to do, if she met him she would be letting him get away with his demeaning behaviour in the Small Council meeting. A devious plan formed in Dove's mind and she quickly searched for Sansa's number in her contacts.


Dove's scarlet lips curled into a provocative smile as she sauntered toward Tywin. She was wearing a red skater dress that flattered every curve and heels that seemed impossibly high.

"Aren't you a little overdressed?" Tywin queried although his voice was slightly hoarse as he drank in the sight of her.

"For meeting you maybe" Dove shrugged and twirled for Tywin "But not for a girl's night out" She added softly

"Excuse me?" Tywin asked as Dove continued to stalk toward him with a predatory look in her eyes.

"You heard me my love" Dove said silkily and seated herself on Tywin's lap. Tywin's hands instinctively ran up Dove's thighs but she swiftly seized them "You thought you could patronize me in front of our Small Council and I wouldn't punish you? Oh Tywin I thought you were intelligent" She purred and roughly pushed away from him.

"I don't know when I'll be back so don't stay up for me baby" Dove said calmly as she strutted toward the door.

Tywin watched her, utterly stunned by her behaviour and before he could stop her, Dove blew him a kiss and was gone.


Dove clinked glasses with Sansa, they were in Kings Landing's hottest nightclub drinking their third cocktail. Sansa wore a gorgeous white strapless dress and heels as high as Dove's.

"Tywin is so pissed with me right now" Dove giggled still revelling in her earlier performance

"Let him be, he shouldn't treat you like he did" Sansa replied, Dove had told her what had happened in the Small Council chamber.

"He's the most maddening man I have ever met and I've met a lot of men" Dove smirked

"That's what I thought about Sandor before we got married" Sansa stated

"Is he less maddening now you're married?" Dove asked curiously

"No" Sansa scoffed and she and Dove burst into laughter.

"It's not funny really, one minute he's all like 'I need you to be my Queen' the next he's like 'you know where the door is'. I never know where I stand with him!" Dove exclaimed and nearly threw her drink down herself

"I think you need to pace yourself if you're this drunk on your third drink" Sansa chuckled

"Hey I haven't had anything to eat therefore the alcohol is hitting me like a ton of bricks" Dove retorted and shifted uncomfortably in her heels "My feet hurt in these heels but I like wearing them ,mainly because they make me nearly the same height as Tywin. That's another thing he's so much taller than me!" She cried before taking another sip of her drink

"I'm taller than you" Sansa declared and purposely towered over Dove

"A lot of people are taller than me" Dove snorted and playfully pushed Sansa "Stop towering over me you're not funny"

"Discussing height advantages?" Tyrion interrupted

"Tyrion!" Dove cried happily and bent down to kiss Tyrion on the cheeks, who then proceeded to look startled at her "And Bronn!" She exclaimed and kissed him on the cheeks too.

"How many has she had?" Bronn asked amused

"Three" Sansa answered and shook her head disapprovingly.

"Seriously?" Bronn questioned his eyebrows shooting up. Dove narrowed her eyes at him and Tyrion took his cue.

"Anyway can I buy you ladies a drink?" He asked

"Yes please, I'll have a cosmopolitan. Now while you order that I'm just going to go to the ladies room" Dove declared and sauntered off toward the bathroom.

Whilst she was stood in the que for the toilet Dove looked at her phone, which informed her she had three missed calls from Tywin. Dove scowled at her phone screen before she hit the call button. After two rings Tywin answered.

"Hello" He snapped

"I believe you called" Dove drawled

"Which nightclub are you in?" He asked swiftly, she thought she could hear music in the background but wasn't sure if it was at his end or hers.

"Why do you care?" She scoffed

"Just answer the question" Tywin growled

"No" Dove said simply and hung up on him.

Two women in front of her were looking at her, the first elbowed her friend who had pretty powdered pink hair.

"Hi, um you're Dove Tyrell aren't you?" The one with pink hair asked

"I am" Dove smiled as she put her phone back in her clutch bag.

"Oh my gods I'm such a huge fan" She cried and released a small squeal of excitement.

Dove laughed slightly embarrassed by her reaction but in a good way.

"You're like my fashion icon" Miss Pink Hair informed her.

"Seriously?" Dove questioned surprised

"Yes that red dress you wore at your sister's coronation, wow!" Her friend imputed

"Thank you" Dove replied genuinely touched

"It sounds really cheeky but could we take a selfie with you?" Miss Pink Hair asked

"Sure" Dove answered, she felt saying no would be like taking a toy off a puppy.

The girl eagerly pulled out her mobile and she and her friend stood either side of Dove.

"Smile" She instructed brightly.

"You're wearing your necklace as well" Her friend squeaked spying the crimson rose pendant

"Is it true Tywin had it specially made for you?" Miss Pink Hair asked clearly eagerly awaiting Dove's answer.

"Yes" A voice interrupted

Dove spun to see a furious Tywin stood inches away from her.

"Seven hells!" The girl with pink hair gasped

"What are you doing here?" Dove snapped, thankful that she sounded confident because the beyond furious look Tywin was giving her had her trembling with fear.

"I'm here to collect what's mine" Tywin answered smoothly enjoying the effect he was having on her "Excuse us ladies" He added and swiftly seized Dove by the arm.

Dove dug her heels into the ground and refused to move, her green eyes looking unyieldingly into Tywin's.

"Move now" Tywin commanded

"No" Dove retorted bluntly and gave him a 'what you going to do about it' look.

Tywin's mouth twisted into an evil smile and without warning he bent down, clasped Dove by the knees and threw her over his shoulder.

"Tywin Lannister you put me down now!" Dove yelled and angrily banged her fists against his back.

"If you're going to behave childishly so shall I" Tywin retorted and casually began to walk toward the exit.

"I mean it Tywin put me down!" Dove practically screamed, they were now at the heart of the nightclub and everyone's eyes were on them.

"Or what Dove? I am far stronger than you and you're wearing inappropriate shoes to outrun me, therefore I will easily overcome any threat you throw at me" Tywin replied silkily

"Stop being logical you sarcastic bastard!" Dove shrieked and beat her fists harder against his back.

Tywin harshly slapped Dove's exposed behind and she yelped more in surprise than pain.

"Did you seriously just spank me in public?" She exclaimed

"Yes" Tywin answered unmoved by her surprise.

"What the hell are you doing?" Sansa interrupted and stood in front of Tywin therefore blocking the exit.

"I am escorting my future wife home" Tywin answered his words clipped and cool.

"Looks to me like you're kidnapping her" Bronn imputed

"That's because he is!" Dove answered and Tywin slapped her behind again as if to silence her. Furious and humiliated Dove reached down and slapped his behind in response.

"Father Miss Tyrell clearly doesn't want to leave with you" Tyrion imputed calmly trying to save from Tywin's wrath.

"I am not going to discuss our private matters with you" Tywin responded his voice dripping with scorn and he pushed past them.

"Tywin all the blood is rushing to my head!" Dove continued trying to push herself up as the exited the nightclub.

They were now outside and the paparazzi went wild, nearly blinding Dove with their camera flashes. Tywin ignored the paparazzi and came to an abrupt halt, he then placed Dove briefly on her feet before he forced her into a waiting car. Once inside Tywin gave Dove a look so glacial any abuse she was about to throw at him died in her throat.

"Do you have any idea how hard I'm going to fuck you?" Tywin growled flooring Dove with the sexual intensity in his eyes.

"I-I-I…" Dove stuttered words failing her.

"Take us to my home not the Red Keep" Tywin ordered the driver

"If you think I'm going to let you fuck me after that performance you're mistaken" Dove declared finding her voice and she crossed her arms sassily.

"I don't think, I know I'm going to fuck you until you beg for mercy" Tywin snarled

"I don't beg" Dove sneered

"Oh but you will" Tywin replied ominously.

Dove narrowed her eyes at him before turning away making a noise of disbelief in the process.


The car came to a halt and Tywin turned to Dove who was refusing to look at him.

"Are you going to get out or am I going to have to make you?" He asked

Dove wordlessly opened the car door and climbed out. Tywin watched her march toward his house without looking back before turning to the driver.

"I expect a car here tomorrow at 9:00am" He ordered

"Yes Sir" The driver acknowledged with a polite nod.

Tywin got out of the car and walked steadily toward his future wife who was now glaring at him.

"Hurry up and unlock the door I'm cold" She snapped

"Then you should have worn a jacket" Tywin retorted sternly

"I did but someone carried me out of the nightclub before I could collect it" Dove bit back and shot Tywin a filthy look.

"Ah" He responded feeling slightly guilty although he didn't show it.

"Yes thank you for humiliating me like that, that's twice in one day" Dove said sarcastically

"Are you forgetting you were openly flirting with my son earlier?" Tywin questioned as he opened the door and ushered Dove inside.

"Ah so you were jealous that explains the belittling and humiliating" Dove smirked.

"I was not jealous" He said lowly

"Oh just admit it Tywin so we can move on" She sighed dramatically.

"Very well I don't like it when you flirt with other men" Tywin stated after a brief pause.

"Tywin…" Dove trailed off and looked into his guarded green eyes.

She didn't know if it was the alcohol or the effect Tywin had on her, but she decided to lay her cards on the table.

"It's in my nature to flirt, flirting gives me power and control and I can't give that up. I've been powerless before and I just…" She trailed off feeling her fear crawl up inside of her and threaten to take over.

Tywin now realising that someone must have damaged Dove in the past, gently reached out and caressed Dove's cheek. He felt his anger melt away due to the frightened, vulnerable look in Dove's eyes.

"If I ever find out who hurt you, I will hunt them down and tear them limb from limb" He said fiercely and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Dove felt her whole body slump with relief and without hesitating her lips found Tywin's. Their kiss was initially tender but it swiftly grew into something more urgent and needy. Tywin carefully lifted Dove off her feet and began to carry her upstairs.


The clock blinked 3:17am at Tywin, he was laid in bed with Dove who was fast asleep in his arms. He absentmindedly played with one of her curls as he thought about today's events.

Dove stirred briefly in her sleep before she sighed and stilled once again. Tywin smirked and kissed the top of her head, she grumbled slightly but didn't wake up.

A part of him knew that he could have picked any other woman to be his queen, and several were more appropriate than Dove. Despite that he had to admit Dove suited him, she was maddening and frustrating but at the same time she had him completely captivated.
