Rhaenyra nearly jumped on her uncle when he arrived at the Targaryen condo in downtown New York.
She hadn't seen him in six bloody months.
6 months since he'd left and the only contact she'd had with him was bloody Whatsapp.
Not even a phone call because in the exotic countries he visited the signal was almost never good.
He only sent her pictures on Whatsapp, and Rhaenyra clenched her fists in annoyance when she saw him uploading a status in the company of a different girl on every trip.
She didn't even understand why it bothered her... but she was more bothered by the fact that she often wanted to be that woman.
She wanted to be the one who walked hand in hand with her uncle in Finland, or went on an extreme expedition in Norway.
Damn it, she even wanted to be the one who slept in his sleeping bag like when he visited the Antarctic.
She tried not to think about that and just enjoyed being wrapped in his strong arms, and enjoyed laughing when he picked her up and spun her around like when she was little.
She clung to his neck and smiled at him.
- I've missed you little dragon," he said looking into her eyes and she smiled.
- I don't think so much if you didn't call me once," she pouted and he pressed his forehead to her forehead.
- Every day I missed you," he said and they stood like that, until they felt footsteps and parted as Rhaenyra's father walked over to greet his brother.
- Daemon," Viserys said, hugging his brother, "You were gone a long time this time," Viserys said, and Daemon nodded.
- I had my reasons," Daemon said, glancing almost imperceptibly at Rhaenyra.
- A woman," Viserys said, not noticing how his daughter clenched her fists and walked to the kitchen so her discomfort would not show, and to offer her uncle a drink while she was at it.
- Yes, a woman," Daemon said, watching Rhaenyra leave. A sweet woman who had stolen his heart, yet their relationship was forbidden. Viserys would kill him if Daemon confessed his feelings for Rhaenyra.
When Alicent and his unbearable little boys appeared on the scene Daemon rolled his eyes.
The only reason he visited Viserys' house was to see his brother and mostly for Rhaenyra, because since Aemma had died and Viserys had made the mistake of marrying Alicent, being there was unbearable.
There were religious icons everywhere, and the only little boy Daemon tolerated was Aemond because he didn't bother as much as the other three.
Still, Alicent's presence prevented him from enjoying Rhaenyra's presence.
- Have there been any changes in the city in recent months? - Daemon asked, tired of listening to Alicent yelling at the brats, and Rhaenyra apologised with her eyes.
- There's a new mall," Rhaenyra said and Daemon took her car keys and directed her to go get ready.
Rhaenyra didn't even take five minutes, she said goodbye to her father who just smiled at her and told her not to give her uncle too much trouble, and left excited.
At last she would be alone with him. Finally, she had missed him so much.
Daemon smiled and opened the car door for Rhaenyra, who looked at him with a huge smile.
He looked at her with that smug smile she loved so much and she walked over to him.
- May I drive? - Rhaenyra asked and he seemed to consider the possibility.
- Do you have a license? - Daemon asked and Rhaenyra handed him her license, "I'm of age uncle, it would be a shame not to have one," she said and Daemon handed her the keys.
She smiled broadly, as Daemon got into the passenger seat.
Even her father wouldn't let her drive his car, and her uncle, who had one of the most expensive sports models in recent years, let her drive.
She definitely adored her uncle.
When they arrived at the mall Daemon looked around the place with interest.
It was nice and Rhaenyra rolled her eyes.
- You've probably seen much better places than this," Rhaenyra said to her uncle and he nodded, "But the difference is that today I'm buying you lunch," Rhaenyra said and he shook his head.
- No way, it's on me," Daemon said and Rhaenyra said no. "I worked all summer.
- I worked all summer, I have my money, it's not much, and you'll probably have to put up with me looking for all the discounts, but I'll pay," said Rhaenyra taking her uncle's hand.
- Rhaenyra," said Daemon who was going to refuse, he wasn't going to let her waste her money.
Especially since he knew that her job as a waitress at a fancy restaurant had ended abruptly after she fought with her boyfriend Criston Cole who was a guard at the place, poured a glass of wine on his head and got fired.
- No buts," Rhaenyra said, and he eventually relented.
They ended up going into a French style restaurant and Rhaenyra rolled her eyes when Daemon said it sounded more like Italian than French.
Rhaenyra wasn't going to let him pay, she had been the one with the idea to go out to eat and she was going to pay.
- What," Daemon said almost jumping when Rhaenyra reached into his trousers pocket and took his wallet from him, "You know I can pay from the phone too, right," Daemon asked and she snatched the phone from him.
He just laughed and sat down at the table.
When the letter was brought to them, Rhaenyra swallowed hard.
It was all too expensive, and she was sure that the best options were not going to be enough for her.
But she would not be made a fool of in front of her uncle.
Daemon was looking at her with amusement, and she knew he was teasing her.
She bit her lip, about to give up and agree to let him pay, when suddenly the waiter presented her with an option.
- This week we celebrate love in our restaurant," he said with a very fake French tone looking at Daemon and Rhaenyra, "Do you want to see the special menu for lovers that we have in our restaurant? - he asked and Rhaenyra blushed as she noticed that he thought they were a couple.
Daemon was amused, though Rhaenyra noticed him nervously adjusting his shirt button. Why was her uncle nervous?
- The menu is 75% off," said the waiter, smiling, and Rhaenyra took her uncle's hand, not caring if it was cheeky.
- We'd love to," said Rhaenyra noticing how her uncle looked at her with an amused smile, "In fact, we'll take it," said Rhaenyra and Daemon smiled again.
That's why her uncle was her favourite person, he always seconded her craziness.
- For the aperitif you can choose between sparkling wine, or one of our best wines," said the waiter and Rhaenyra bit her lip.
- Rosé wine for my girlfriend," said Daemon, and Rhaenyra blushed, if he was faking it, "And a house option for me," he said, and the waiter noted.
- For starters you can choose between a Trilogy of Smoked Salmon or a Steak Tartare," said the waiter ordering with his hand the musicians to set their tunes for a couple in love.
Rhaenyra blushed and took her uncle's hand, interlacing their fingers and staring into his eyes, pretending to be a couple.
- What do you say my love," said Rhaenyra feeling her uncle stroking her hand with his thumb.
She felt a tingling in her lower belly, and prayed he didn't notice how she pulled her legs together for the sensations.
- I chose the wine honey, you can choose," he said, stroking his niece's hand slowly. He could feel her shudder and wondered. Did she feel the same as he did?
- The smoked salmon trilogy it is," said Rhaenyra and the waiter noted with a huge smile, indicating to other waiters to dim the lights and bring candles to the table.
There were lovers there that day, the week of love was to be celebrated.
For their main course they ended up ordering sautéed duck breast with wild mushroom sauce, and Daemon stroked Rhaenyra's hair slowly as the waiter wrote down the main course.
Rhaenyra felt him scoring excruciatingly slow. How long before he scored dessert? She felt like she could barely breathe as she felt her uncle stroking her hair. The heel of his fingers on her skin made her shiver and she was sure her underwear was wet already from the dampness she felt in her core.
It was wrong to feel what she felt, but who could blame her?
- Oh what a beautiful couple in love," said the waiter complimenting them on how romantic the two of them were, "May I suggest a dessert... that will harmonize the passion..." said the waiter suggestively and Rhaenyra had to drink from the soda on the table as she began to cough flushed and nervous.
Her uncle for his part was enjoying that. Seeing her so nervous at the suggestion made something start to stir between her legs and he was thankful he was sitting down because he was sure it would show. His sweet Rhaenyra, how wonderful it was to see her like that.
- What would the suggestion be," Daemon asked and Rhaenyra looked him in the eye and the waiter smiled.
- The Chocolate Coulant," said the waiter smiling and speaking softly near them, "They say that passion explodes at the first bite," he said and Rhaenyra felt her face burning.
- We'll take it," said Daemon, and at last the waiter left to bring them their appetizers.
Daemon leaned close to Rhaenyra and whispered in her ear.
- This wouldn't have happened if you'd let me pay for it," he said smugly, and she leaned closer to him.
- Don't be smug, Uncle," said Rhaenyra, plucking up the courage to kiss him on the cheek.
It was Daemon's turn to feel a strange warmth in his chest at her kiss.
As their plates were brought to them, and they enjoyed their meal, they realised that pretending to be a couple wasn't that complicated.
They were constantly brushing hands, smiling as they drank their appetizers.
Daemon smiled when Rhaenyra shook her head and grimaced in disgust when Daemon gave her a taste of his wine.
- Is that wine? - she asked, taking the soda as he passed it to her to wash down the taste of the wine.
- It's a French Medoc," said Daemon and she looked at him confused, "You really don't know what it is? And you were a waitress? - Daemon said mockingly and she rolled her eyes.
- Tell me what it's made of," she said blushing as he reached for a napkin and wiped the corner of her lip that now had wine on it.
- Mostly sweet, ripe blackberries and raspberries, aromas of burnt red meat and thyme," Daemon said and she wrinkled her nose.
- Rose wine is still my favourite," she said, sipping from her coma, and he smiled in a way she didn't understand. But his gaze was so deep she felt she could lose herself in it.
When they were brought their starters they ate in silence, looking at each other constantly, and when the main course was brought they both shared the mushroom sauce, Daemon having ordered his with Curry and Rhaenyra with Anise.
They rested for a while chatting, catching up.
Rhaenyra marvelled at the photographs Daemon showed her of his travels.
Had he visited Maelstrom? The great whirlpool in the Norwegian stuff?
- Do you have more pictures? It's wonderful. Did you go there by boat? asked Rhaenyra, impressed, it was one of the most dangerous places on the planet.
- I went with Corlys that time," said Daemon. "We sailed close, but for the pictures we used drones," said Daemon showing the pictures.
While his uncle showed him pictures of Finland, Norway, Spain, Greece, Russia, Turkey, Transylvania? His uncle had visited Transylvania?
- Did you find any vampires there," she joked, "or a vampire? she thought with annoyance but didn't tell him.
- No, but this is Dracula's famous castle," he said showing her pictures, noticing how impressed she was.
They were sharing photographs as Daemon lost himself in Rhaenyra's beautiful smile, in her energy and excitement at seeing the pictures. She was a piece of work. His niece, her perfect, beautiful smile... the woman... no, he couldn't admit that... he shouldn't.
Suddenly while they had already pulled up their chairs to view the photographs, the waiter approached with a camera and desserts.
Rhaenyra swallowed hard knowing what it meant. There shouldn't be a problem.
Daemon tensed, but they were getting there.
When the kind waiter told them that the menu came with the delivery of a photograph to commemorate the moment, they had no choice but to accept.
Though Daemon made sure to ask if the photograph was just for them, or posted on networks, fortunately it was only for them, because if that photograph somehow got back to Viserys, his brother was going to castrate him.
Rhaenyra looked nervously at her uncle, and he stroked her face.
They were both nervous and in that minute it was just them, everything around them didn't matter.
Daemon stroked Rhaenyra's lip with his thumb, and she smiled with a blush.
The music in the room changed to a more romantic one if possible and the two of them closed the distance between their lips.
They kissed briefly, but the love in their eyes was undeniable by the time they parted.
- And here it is, what a beautiful picture," said the waiter handing the two instant photographs to the couple with a souvenir of the restaurant.
They smiled and only managed to take a bite of dessert, when they asked for the bill and after she paid, they left the place.
The waiter smiled in amusement as he removed the dessert plates.
- I told you, one bite and passion explodes," said the waiter with an amused smile.
When they arrived at the underground car park of the mall, it was dark and there were few cars left there, at that hour not many people used the underground car park.
He tugged on his niece's hand, as they both breathed heavily.
- Rhaenyra," Daemon said, stopping, and she looked him in the eye.
She asked him absolutely nothing, it didn't matter what was going on between them, it didn't matter if it was right or wrong.
They both wanted each other, they always had, why stop when it felt so right?
She kissed him passionately and he responded in kind.
Rhaenyra gasped as he slammed her body against the car and clung to him as he opened the door.
They both got into the back seat of the car, and Rhaenyra was really grateful that the windows were tinted.
If he thought to stop at the thought that she was his sweet niece, and what they were doing was wrong, his intention died the instant she took off her shirt and he realized she wasn't wearing a bra.
He grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately, tangling his tongue with her tongue, tasting her mouth, feeling her moan into his lips.
She tangled her hands in her uncle's long hair and moaned into his mouth as one of his large hands cupped one of her breasts.
They parted and she looked down, watching as he twisted her nipple between his fingers.
She moaned and he smiled as he felt her squeeze his shoulder.
Unable to contain himself his other hand tightened on her breast and his mouth moved down to the other.
- Oh my God," Rhaenyra gasped as he leaned her back against the seat and worshipped her breasts with his mouth, shifting from one breast to the other, licking and sucking her nipples until they were erect.
The sensation of his mouth on one breast and his hand massaging the other was indescribable.
With trembling hands she undid the shirt he wore and cried out as he took one of her nipples between his teeth.
He left her perfect breasts only to move up to her mouth, kiss her again, and then down her neck kissing and surely leaving a mark.
He kissed again this time in the middle of the valley of her breasts, and slowly moved down her abdomen.
She leaned on her forearms to stand up and watch as he undid her leather mini skirt and pulled her panties down her legs.
- Daemon," she said for the first time referring to him by name and he closed his eyes before touching her intimacy.
- You're so wet," he said, brushing her folds, watching her mouth open in excitement and stifling a moan of pleasure, "So wet, the moisture running down your crotch, all this for me?
- For you, just for you," she gasped beyond clear thinking, "Please," she begged and he smiled mischievously.
Daemon put his thumb on Rhaenyra's clit and circled it gently, without overstimulating her, she closed her eyes in pleasure, and opened her eyes the moment he slowly buried one of his long fingers inside her.
- Oh god," she gasped, pulling back as she felt him hold her hips.
- So tight," he gasped moving his finger trying to reach deeper and deeper inside her, "My god Rhaenyra look how you squeeze me, you are perfect," he praised holding Rhaenyra's thigh tightly and moving his mouth down to kiss the inside of her thigh.
He kissed both thighs while his hand was still working on her and felt her scream and moan, as her intimacy squeezed tighter and tighter.
- You don't know how long I've dreamed of this," said Daemon, settling into the car comfortably so he could lower his face between her legs.
- Daemon," gasped Rhaenyra noticing his intentions, but before she could say anything he had already lowered his face to her intimacy and began to gently lick her clit.
She cried out and pulled back arching her back and feeling tears fill her eyes with pleasure.
- You taste so good," he said, sucking on her intimacy, "You are perfect," he praised, his deep voice sending vibrations into her wet core.
She cried out when he began a steady rhythm with his finger, and squealed when he began to draw circles with his tongue around her clitoris.
- Come for me precious," Daemon said and she did, climaxing with her clutching his long, platinum hair, trying to keep him from moving.
He licked her pussy enjoying the taste of her fluids and enjoyed seeing her on the car seat, breathing heavily, her naked breasts rising and falling, her legs spread and her pussy exposed and ready for him.
- Please," she begged, knowing he was planning to stop and not finish it, but she didn't want to stop, she wanted to be his, she wanted to be his alone, ever since she had started liking boys, it had always been him.
- Rhaenyra," he gasped, feeling his erection ache to be trapped in his trousers and Rhaenyra leered at the bulge in his trousers.
What he should do was apologize to his niece for what he did, take her home and run home for a cold bath.
Then, she decided she wouldn't let him go.
She let her hair down so that her hair tie-up wouldn't bother her as she leaned back against the seat, spread her legs as wide as she could and brought her hands to her wet pussy.
He looked at her in surprise as she buried a finger inside her and moaned in pleasure, then she withdrew that finger only to use her hand to spread her folds with her fingers.
- Fuck me Daemon," she said looking up at him with her eyes shining with pleasure, "Fuck me and make me yours, we have both wanted it for too long, please, just fuck me," she said and he quickly unbuttoned his trousers.
He took his wallet from Rhaenyra's bag and took a condom, she gasped in pleasure as she watched him tear the packet with his mouth and then roll the condom onto his member.
She was surprised to see his size. His cock was large and imposing, veins bulging and she swallowed hard as she saw him finish putting the condom on.
She spread her legs and he lay on top of her leaning on his forearms so as not to crush her.
He looked down at her, her silver hair in disarray on either side of her head, her face sweaty and her breathing ragged.
- I'm sure," she said, noticing his silent question, "It's always been you," she said and he caressed her face. He kissed her briefly and then slowly buried himself in her.
Rhaenyra gasped as she felt the tip of his cock open her, even though she was ready it was large, they both exhaled and gasped as he gently entered her.
She felt the veins rubbing against her intimacy, the texture driving her wild with pleasure as she felt him hard and throbbing inside her.
When he was buried deep inside her, she shifted her hips so that he entered her even deeper.
She squeezed his shoulders and he leaned his head on her shoulder at the initial sensation, they both lay still, getting used to the immense pleasure.
He began to move gently at first letting her get used to the stretch and when she moved her hips seeking contact he began to increase the pace making her delirious with pleasure.
- Don't stop, please I beg you, don't stop," she gasped feeling the tears of pleasure fall from her face and he smiled.
- I won't do it my little dragon," he said taking one of Rhaenyra's legs and putting it over his shoulder.
- Oh my God! Oh my God," she cried, clinging to him and hugging his neck so she could kiss him.
They both kissed and broke apart only to gasp in pleasure.
They smiled and looked into each other's eyes as they lost themselves in their pleasure.
He squeezed her thigh hard as they both neared their end, a few hard and fast thrusts brought them both to their end screaming out the opposite name as they felt pleasure they had never felt before.
He pulled out of her and got rid of the condom quickly somehow managing to move the seat so the backrests were out of the way and lay down next to her feeling her naked figure against him.
They both fell silent and knew there was no point in denying it.
- I love you," he said caressing her naked waist as she leaned against his chest.
- I love you too," she whispered turning to kiss him.
Things would not be easy for them, but neither would they be impossible.
Days later when Rhaenyra informed her father that she would be leaving with her uncle for Europe, she knew that her father somehow knew of their relationship.
- Are you sure you know what you're doing," said Viserys, who was upset but still went to drop his daughter off at the airport.
- Very sure," Rhaenyra said and Viserys hugged her tightly.
Daemon and Viserys did not say goodbye. Viserys didn't agree with that, but it wasn't as if such things were strange in his family either.
Only Viserys did not trust his brother.
Two years later, time proved him wrong.
He and Alicent were invited to Daemon and Rhaenyra's beautiful wedding in Portugal, where they were to be married in a private ceremony.
Daemon made peace with his brother and they travelled together to the house where Daemon and Rhaenyra lived in London.
Viserys and his family often visited Daemon and Rhaenyra, and Viserys was the happiest grandfather in the world when his grandchildren Aegon, Viserys and Visenya were born.
Alicent was upset when Rhaenyra named her son Aegon, but then he got used to it and everyone in the family called them Aegon the elder and Aegon the younger.
On their fifth wedding anniversary, Rhaenyra and Daemon travelled back to New York to celebrate at the same Restaurant where it all began.
The same waiter waited on them and they repeated the same dinner they had eaten that day.
- The same dessert, Mr. and Mrs. Targaryen," asked the waiter and they smiled.
- The same," they said, toasting their fifth anniversary, now with a beautiful family, three children and no more on the way.
Life had smiled on them and very much so.
- And all thanks to my idea of paying the bill," said Rhaenyra kissing her husband.
- Bless that discount," said Daemon kissing her again as the waiter took the picture.
They were happy, infinitely happy.
