Over the next few months, Aldarra, who was the gossip subject of many, stayed away from everyone. On the night of the Blackwater Bay attack by Stannis' ships, the bells were ringing all over the city as the royals and nobles went to gather in Maegor's Holdfast. Shae and Aldarra stayed in the Tower of the Hand until the knights disappeared and they heard running crowds out in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs. Aldarra had found a secret passage in her room that was a section of wall that opens up. She grabbed a bowl of fruit, as many candles as she could get and blankets off her bed with Shae and went into the dark passageway of the cobwebby hallways. She was wearing her dagger tied to her thigh under her dress. They both found a spot on the ground and spread a blanket and placed the one candle on the ground. You could hear the clashing of swords at a distance echoing through the dark recess. They ate fruit and talked softly out of sight until eventually they fell asleep out of boredom. Both women woke up to a loud bang and shouting coming from her room on the other side of the wall. They sat up listening. It was Tywin. Aldarra would know that voice anywhere.
He was shouting, "I want you to comb through the entire keep with everyone you can get and find her and bring her back here! Search Maegor's Holdfast first! I want all of my son's belongings gathered and put in another room! I want this entire tower cleaned thoroughly from top to bottom!" She could hear people rushing about.
Aldarra whispered, "I think we should sit here for a little time longer. I don't want to be found so eager to be around him again."
Shae whispered, "He will just get angrier."
Aldarra grinned and said, "Good." She popped a grape into her mouth and lit another candle.
After a few hours longer, both women slipped back into her room and the door was wide open. She hid her dagger in its hiding spot. They both sat on the bed waiting to be discovered. A couple knights came into the tower and knocked on Tywin's door. The women just stayed put listening. The knight said, "We have searched everywhere and Lady Blackthorne has not been found."
Aldarra said loudly, "That is because I have been sitting in here for a while." Tywin Lannister went into her room and had his hands on his hips looking angry.
He angrily demanded, "Where the hell have you been?!"
She looked at him innocently, "Hiding, of course. That is until we fell asleep in our hiding spot. We came back to my room as soon as we realized it was all over and safe to come out again."
He was flustered. Tywin said, clearing his throat, "Yes. Well good thing you did. Have you eaten this evening?" Both women shook their heads.
Tywin said pointing at Shae, "You go to the kitchens and get food and tell them to bring a dinner tray for both of us with wine here." Shae nodded, stood up and curtsied leaving out the door.
Tywin said to Aldarra, "Are you well?"
Aldarra replied to him, "Yes, Lord Lannister. Is my sword well also?" He huffed at her and walked out of the room into his own room and sat down at his desk and started reading scrolls. She stood at the door and leaned against it.
She asked him, "So is that a yes or a no? I answered your question, didn't I?"
He ignored her and continued reading. Aldarra huffed after a minute with no response and said, "Rude." She walked back in her room and closed the door.
A few minutes later he opened her door and stated, "You're the rude one. How dare you ask about that damn weapon."
Aldarra smiled a fake smile and said, "It's the only thing I'll ever want from you ever after all this time. I have waited almost a year in this hot keep full of foolish, jealous and violent scheming people to be avoided, whilst you have been traveling the countryside with my father's sword. All I could think about, was what if you lost in battle then I would never get it back again, so I could leave this damn place far behind me and erase all memories of your family and the nobles here. Maybe then, I can wash my mind of the hellish games they play of beheadings, brutal beatings of women, raping of women, whoremongers, incest and liars whilst stabbing each other in the back. I hate this place and you for making me live here!"
Tywin marched up to her grabbing her by both upper arms and said firmly, "You'll be marrying me in a fortnight anyway, then you will never be able to leave. You still have a maiden's head or don't you?" He kissed her so fast she couldn't stop him. She tried to push and shove him away, but he was too strong.
She roared, turning her head and tearing her lips away from his, "Like hell, I will never marry you, even if you were the last man ever!!"
Tywin grinned an evil grin at her while his green eyes sparked and he laughed. He said slowly, "If you think I am going to hand back that damn sword and let you go galavant across the countryside, you are a little fool. I don't need you dipping into my pockets behind my back to take away half of my mining contracts and profits. You will marry me and be cooperative about it and give me heirs. If you don't I'll see to it that your father's sword is melted down to make two swords for my son and grandson."
Aldarra looked at him in complete shock at his arrogant face. She said in a deadly tone, "How dare you threaten me. Is this your diabolical plan this whole time? I guess your daughter was thinking the same. I don't want that keep, lands, or mines ever! Keep it all for yourself, you greedy fool because I don't give a damn! You Lannister's are all cut from the same vile evil cloth."
He shook her and said, commandingly, "You will do as you are told!" Tywin picked her up and she went wild kicking, as he threw her over his shoulder spanking her arse. She growled and screamed in humiliation and started hitting him in the back. He grinned, spanked her again, taking her to his room and kicked his own door closed. He threw her down on his bed in his room and landed on top of her. Tywin pinned her hands with one hand above her head as she struggled. Aldarra's hair was everywhere in her face, blinding her.
He said in a deep lust filled low tone chuckling, "You little wildcat. Dare me to tame you, will you?" His other hand reached between her legs and worked at pulling up her skirts and his hand went straight down into her small clothes. Tywin's index finger went inside her channel and found that she truly was a virgin.
Her eyes went big and she shouted in a panic, "No! No! You disgusting craven bastard!"
Tywin chuckled still saying, "My aren't you a lovely surprise for me to open soon." He began massaging her inside, curling his finger and circling her little nub in the front of her mound with his thumb. She kept trying to struggle but he had her completely pinned to the bed.
Aldarra's blood started to quicken and her heartbeat was fast. She kept saying no and stop, but he wouldn't stop. Sensations started shooting from her belly to her lady parts then down her legs. Tears started slipping from her eyes melting into her hair. Her back arched on its own and she started panting and sweating. He kissed the swell of her breasts bulging out of the top of her dress.
Tywin mumured softly, crooning, "That's it, just relax your body, little beauty. Feel that? It feels good doesn't it? Just let it happen. I can tell this is your first time. It is, isn't it?" Aldarra's body wouldn't pay attention, her mind was going to mush. She gasped as her head went back and it hit her like jumping off a cliff into exploding stars. Her body went taunt, she cried out and then relaxed twitching around his finger. His hand came out of her clothes and he sucked on his finger. He brushed the hair from her eyes and she had them closed. Tywin kissed her soft puffy lips, pink cheeks, slowly licked her lips and tugged on her bottom lip. She turned her head away. He released her hands and put his hands on both sides of her face, turning it back.
He kissed her closed eyelids and said still softly, "There's no reason for you to make this so difficult. I will treat you well, give you children and take good care of you. You will want for nothing within reason, I'll protect you and I'll never beat you." She opened her eyes suddenly looking into his but didn't say a word. He thought he could drown in her beautiful blue green eyes. Tywin let her up and she rolled over on her side facing away from him with his arm around her waist as she was catching her breath. She could feel how hard his cock was pressed against her behind. He was kissing her neck and shoulder and rubbing circles on her stomach.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman in years. Her eyes were the same color as Joanna's and they looked right through you even though her hair was a dark rich brown in contrast. Tywin thought that he may probably never love her, but he wanted her like no other woman. It would give him more heirs from his disappointing children and also secure his holdings by marriage for the Blackthorne's lands.
Aldarra whispered, "Please don't do this to me, Lord Lannister? I just want to be free to live on my own."
He said in her ear, kissing her neck, "You will do what I say and you must. You will call me Tywin when we are together in the Tower. The food I ordered is probably cold depending on what it is and it's getting late. I suggest we eat something. I must say, I like how you feel next to me in bed. It would be too hard to not take you before the wedding, if you're laying next to me for very long." He sat up in bed. Aldarra sat up trying to pull tangles out of her hair. She walked straight out of his room into her own and slammed the door. Shae was sitting on her bed waiting for her to help her out of her dress.
Shae stood up and saw the look in her friend's face and hugged her saying, "What happened, Aldarra?"
Aldarra said in a whisper, "He is forcing me to marry him in a fortnight and give him heirs, so I won't stop him from owning all my family's property and wealth. I told him I don't want it, but he doesn't care. He said he would melt my father's valyrian sword down and make two for his wretched son Jamie and his grandson Joffrey if I don't cooperate. He threw me in his bed and stuck his finger in me to check if I still had my maiden's head and then did that thing you told me about." She hugged Shae back standing in the middle of the room.
Shae said with her head on her shoulder, "I'm sorry. I will help you through it. Did he scare you when he did it?" Aldarra nodded with tears in her eyes. Shae patted her and said, "Don't be scared of it." Shae helped her out of her dress and corset into a nightgown.
Shae said, patting her, "I have to go see Tyrion. He got hurt in the battle and I must comfort him."
Aldarra said, concerned, "Oh gods, I hope he is alright."
Shae smiled and said, "I'll let you know in the morning." Aldarra smiled and nodded. Shae left and Aldarra laid down facing the wall side of her bed and fell asleep eventually.
At some point after, the door opened and Tywin looked in her room watching her sleep. He wondered if it would ever get easier between them knowing that he had frightened her at first tonight. He knew he wanted to keep her the moment her first saw her look in his eyes defiantly glaring at him injured in his tent at High Heart. Aldarra was challenging him and he knew she was a strong woman. Tywin was glad to get back to the Red Keep to see how she fared now that he knew what he wanted with her. She was even more incredibly beautiful than he remembered. He couldn't wait until he could take her over and over again. It has been a very long time since he had lain with a woman and even longer to be with one he truly was attracted too. He couldn't show weakness around her or when they would be around others. Tywin needed her to trust him somehow though. It would take time, but he was here now and lost several months with her. He would take her with him to tell his daughter tomorrow that he was marrying Aldarra. He knew Cersei would be very angry about it, but he didn't care. Tywin closed the door and went and got ready for bed and took matters in hand to quench his desire for her.
