Chapter 7

Jaime was the first who woke up. He opened his eyes to be blinded by the morning sun that lightened the room through the window. His memories from the endless night he lived came to his mind. Was it a dream? And if it was a dream what kind of cruel god had waked him up? But then he felt someone's breath in his face and when he got used to the light he turned to see his wench sleeping peacefully next to him.

He just stayed there watching her without making any sound. He didm't want to break her peace. She was sleeping covered with a slim blanket until her waist, exposing her arms, her chest and part of her stomach and belly. Her white, beautiful skin was shinning to the morning light making the scar in her belly appear darker that he saw it yesterday. This woman had lost everything she had managed to protect, respect, strength, honor and finaly her life, to protect their child because she had loved him. And he failed her. On the other hand his beloved sister Cercei had sacrificed their children and their love for power. 'Love', he thought. Cercei loved him when it was convinient and when she had to use him for her plans.

Without realising, he reached and caressed her scar and then leaned and kissed it.

Brienne opened her eyes and brushed Jaime's hair with her hands. He then raised his head and smiled at his still sleepy eyes.

"Morning wench", he said with his playful grin."You seem a little messy and tired from last night"

"Someone didn't let me sleep", she faked to be annoyed.

" Well i don't think that it was complaints, the words you were screaming yesterday.",he teased.

A pillow was thrown at him.

"Lannisters", Brienne muttered. Jaime laughed returning her the pillow.

" Hey, you wenches love us"

"Will you ever stop calling me wench?"

"But you are my wench"

She turned her back at him but then Jaime grabed her arm and turned her again to look at him.

"Don't turn your face from me Brienne.", he said. " It feels like you turn off the light and leave me in the darkness." His eyes were sad amd they were staring each other until he kissed her lips and slowly found himself inside her again whispering that he couldn't stand a life without looking at her face.

After their lovemaking they took a shower together caressing each other.

" Won't go to your office again Jaime?

"Do you want me to leave Ser Brienne?", he teased her.

" No, but you didn't go the last two days."

"Well, i have very skilled colleagues and i am sure they will be fine if i take some days to rest. Unfortunately wench that means for you that you aŗe stuck with me." ,he smiled hugging her.

"I couldn't ask for anything better", she whispered shyly , blushing and making Jaime want to fuck her once more. He pulled her by her waist and kissed her hungrily.

" I swear wench, your innocence will be the death of me."

...

"Where are we going Jaime ?", asked Brienne after one hour driving out of the city, in the countryside.

" You'll see are almost there. I have a surtprise for you."

...

They arrived at a beautiful ranch in a green landscape next to a small lake.

"It's amazing!", said Brienne admiring the house that was lost inside the nature. There were different kind of trees and flowers in the garden and next to the house there was a stable.

" Come with me , I want you to meet someone."

Jaime and Brienne went to the stable where an old man was brushing the mane of a beautiful white mare.

"Jack how are you ? " asked Jaime with a friendly voice.

"I am very well Jaime, welcome , i didn't wait for you to come. Who is your woman?", asked old Jack making Brienne flinch at his words 'your woman'.But Jaime smiled at him and hold Brienne by her arms.

" She is Brienne. Brienne this is Jack, he is a good friend and the housekeeper of the ranch."

"It's nice to meet you Mr Jack", said Brienne kindly.

" Call me Jack my girl.",he said

"Well Jack I want to do a present Brienne. I want to give her a horse."

Brienne couldn't believe what she was listening

"But Jaime..."

"The white mare", he interrupted her." Of course the horse will stay here because we can't take it with us but Brienne can come and ride it whenever she wants. It's hers."

"Of course Jaime I wouldn't expect you to give to your woman nothing less than your favourite horse. I will let you two alone for a while. It's the best horse you could find Brienne", said Jack while walking out of the stables

" Jaime you didn't have to do this"

"I know Brienne but i wanted to give you something you will like. She is very friendly and loyal. She is my favourite. I had a special connection with this horse from the day it was born. I rode her often when i was here but now i want you to ride her when we come here together."

"Jaime...", Brienne tried to say.

" Don't you want to come here with me Brienne?"he asked her nervous about her response. Brienne hesitated for a moment. But it was Jaime and she new she was cursed and blessed to love this man.

"Of course Jaime, thank you for your present, she is wonderful", she smiled finaly and caressed her new horse happy. How much she wanted to ride a horse all these years. It had been a lifetime since the last time.

Jaime chose a black horse named Black Knight and they went out of the stable to ride in the countryside

"You didn't tell me her name?"she asked Jaime.

"Wench", he answered looking at her.

...

They had enjoyed riding the whole couldn't take his eyes from his tall woman with her blonde hair and the long legs riding the horse and getting lost through the trees. It was so natural for her to ride a horse in the forest like she was an Amazon.

When they arrived at the stable again and left the horses, Jaime took her hand and told her seriously.

" Marry me Brienne, please make me a honorable man."

Brienne's heart stop beating for a moment. She was lost in her emotions and her love for Jaime.

"I love you Jaime and you know it. I would do anything for you. But please don't ask me this. Let our relationship be as it is because I don't want you to promise things you may not be able to keep. I will be broken if we marry and you return to Cercei again."

She was crying and Jaime hold her in his chest trying to comfort her.

This won't happen Brienne , i swear to you"

"I 'm afraid Jaime, please.", she begged and Jaime couldn't stand to listen to her begging once more.

" It's ok, it's ok wench, we won't rush if you don't want it. But i'm sure that one day you will understand that i don't love Cercei. I will prove it to you. This womam Brienne is awful and i regret it that i went to her in the end . She was my death you know."

"I know it Jaime, she ordered the Maountain to kill you"

"Who told you?",asked Jaime."

"No one told me," she paused"i was there and saw it. i wasn't there in time to prevent it but at least i was there while you were leaving because i couldn't stand to let you die alone.

...

Jaime was frozen when he heard that Brienne had gone to find him and protect him from his stupid desicion to return to Cercei.

"You went to Kingslanding pregnant to our child while the most deathly woman was queen and Deanerys was ready to burn the city to the ground?", he said in disbelief." You had to protect yourshelf and our child.

"I didn't know I was pregnant Jaime", she told, " after your death I left the city broken before Deanerys burnt it."

"So she did it?"

Brienne nodded

"Yes. I went to your brother's tent and told him you were dead. He was broken by the news but i was worse. I got ill and then the measters that examined me and told me that i was pregnamt and i should take care of myshelf. I'm sure that one of them told it to Cercei. I left some days later for Winterfel."

"Why did you followed me wench?", he asked sad and angry together. " i had abandoned you like a coward dog running back to it's master. Why you put yourshelf in danger?"

Her eyes were full of tears as she looked at him and with lips and voice trembling answered.

"Because i love you so much that i couldn't help it."
