Early 290 AC - Lannisport
The bustling encampment of Lannisport gradually quieted as night fell, the flickering lights of campfires casting long shadows. The air was filled with the soft murmurs of those still awake, but most of the city had settled into a peaceful slumber. Elsewhere, in the dead of night, Cersei Lannister moved through the shadows with practiced stealth.
Cersei had always been cunning and secretive. Her golden hair, a hallmark of House Lannister, glinted in the moonlight as she made her way to a private chamber far from prying eyes. The night was her ally, concealing her movements as she slipped inside.
Jaime Lannister was already waiting for her, his golden hair and green eyes a mirror image of her own. The bond they shared was more than just familial; it was an unbreakable, passionate connection forged in their youth and solidified over years of shared secrets and forbidden love.
"Jaime," Cersei whispered as she closed the door behind her. "I've missed you."
Jaime pulled her into his arms, his touch both tender and urgent. "Cersei, my love," he murmured, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "These nights apart are torture."
Their relationship was a dangerous dance, a secret affair that had begun in childhood and continued through the years. Jaime and Cersei had always been inseparable, their connection deeper than that of ordinary siblings. The risk of discovery only added to the intensity of their bond.
Cersei's first child, Robin Arryn, was the legitimate son of her husband, Elbert Arryn. With his blonde hair and blue eyes, he was the perfect blend of his parents, bearing the features of both House Arryn and House Lannister. But their daughter, Sharra, was a different story. With her golden hair and green eyes, she bore a striking resemblance to Jaime, a secret child passed off as Elbert's.
A Dangerous Desire
Cersei looked up at Jaime, her green eyes filled with longing. "I want another child, Jaime. Another one of ours." Jaime's expression darkened with a mix of desire and concern. "It's dangerous, Cersei. Elbert could suspect. The risk is too great." Cersei shook her head, determination etched on her face. "I don't care about the risks. I want our children to be together, to grow up knowing their true father."Jaime sighed, his resolve wavering in the face of her insistence. "Cersei, if anyone were to find out..." "No one will find out," Cersei interrupted, her voice firm. "We've been careful before, and we can be careful again. Please, Jaime."
Jaime looked into her eyes, seeing the fierce determination that had always drawn him to her. He knew he couldn't deny her. "Alright, Cersei," he said softly. "But we must be more cautious than ever." Cersei's face lit up with a victorious smile as she wrapped her arms around Jaime. "Thank you, Jaime. I knew you would understand."
The chamber was dimly lit, casting soft shadows that danced on the walls. Jaime and Cersei moved together in a familiar rhythm, their bodies entwined in a passionate embrace. The world outside ceased to exist, and for those precious moments, they were the only two people who mattered.
Their love was a dangerous secret, one that could destroy them if discovered. But in the privacy of their secret meetings, they were free to be themselves, free to express the depth of their forbidden love.
After the Passion
After their passion was spent, they lay together, tangled in the sheets. Jaime stroked Cersei's hair, his thoughts a whirlwind of emotions.
"What if someone finds out?" Jaime asked, his voice tinged with worry.
"They won't," Cersei replied confidently. "We've been careful, and we'll continue to be careful. No one will ever know. Gods I can still feel your seed within me"
Jaime nodded, though his concern remained. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect you and our children, Cersei. No matter the cost."
Cersei smiled, pressing a kiss to his lips. "I know you will, Jaime. Together, we're unstoppable."
As dawn approached, Cersei reluctantly rose from the bed, knowing she had to return before anyone noticed her absence. Jaime watched her dress, his heart heavy with the knowledge that their time together was always fleeting.
"Until next time, my love," Jaime said, his voice filled with longing.
Cersei smiled, her eyes glinting with determination. "Until next time, Jaime. And remember, our love is stronger than anything else."
With a final kiss, Cersei slipped out of the chamber, disappearing into the shadows once more. The night had been theirs, a stolen moment of passion and love. As she made her way back to her quarters, she couldn't help but smile, knowing that their bond would endure, no matter the risks.
