Chapter Six
They buried Jorah the next day, along with the Dothraki who had died during the fray. Drogo had stood beside Dany, arm wrapped around her waist as she watched her oldest friend and the only tie to her family, be lowered into the ground.
Drogo had watched silently as three of his own people were lowered into the ground also and hoped they had found peace in the afterlife.
Drogo and Dany returned t the warehouse where Dany excused herself and made her way to the bed they shared. Drogo watched her leave, wishing he could join her to comfort her but staying with the others to find out what had happened and where they would go from there was more important.
Dany stripped the black dress off and threw it to the ground, glaring at the garment. Standing in nothing but a pair of blue lacy panties and a matching bra, Dany considered the events that had led up to the death of her closest friend and protector. Had Dany not agreed to be Drogo's prize, would Jorah still be alive? That being said, Dany could not fathom Drogo not being in her life.
The small woman lay down on their makeshift bed and pulled one of the large blankets up over her near naked body. She willed herself to sleep, to forget the last few days, but could not.
So many people had died because of her and the dram she had to regain her empire seemed less appealing because of it. Almost an hour later, Drogo finally joined her even though it was still light out. "Dany," he whispered, as he slid into the bed behind her still fully clothes, "are you alright?"
Dany nodded but the two of them knew that she was lying. His arms wrapped around her, held her against his hard and strong body for what felt like forever.
"I was frightened by you yesterday," she had said, breaking the silence that had fallen between them, "after you had answered your phone and began swearing and kicking the ground, I was frightened. But when we got back here, and I could see what had happened, I understood you pain, your anger, and I'm sorry I was frightened by you." He squeezed her body and she smiled. "Can we just stay like this, here in each others arms, forever?" she questioned, as he place gentle kisses on her skin, "Can we forget about everyone else and just stay here?"
She felt him chuckle against her back and shivered lightly as she felt his hand trail up and down her arm. "I would love for nothing more," he whispered again, "but we have come this far and I have made my people a promise."
Feeling guilty that she had been thinking of herself and her own well being, Dany nodded and sighed heavily. "I know," and began drawing circles on his large hand with a small finger, "I'm sorry I've caused you loss."
He squeezed her again and kissed her neck. "It is you I worry for and would be heartbroken to loose," he admitted, "I have never felt this way, darling girl, about anyone, ever. You are the reason I do this. I want you to have your empire back and I want you, nothing more." Dany sighed, feeling more and more for this strong man who held her and acted so calmly while they fought a war.
Turning in his arms, she lifted a hand, creased his cheek and smiled gently before quietly whispering, "I love you." As she said it for the second time in two days, Drogo took in her admission and smiled gently in return as he realised his love for her.
"I love you also, darling girl," he replied, before taking her lips in his own and showing her just how much her loved her.
So, we only have about four chapters left and I am stumped as to how I am going to end it. I have the whole "battle" scene written out but have to just tie in some dialogue and plot, which I think will be hardest. Just letting you all know that there will be no particular characters apart from the ones already mentioned. So no Jamie, Cersie or Robert, none of the Starks or anything like that. Just Drogo and Dany and a nameless/faceless man who will have a showdown in a very bloody and deadly battle. Just sayin'.
