Kissing him just felt right with the way that their lips fit against one another. There is a hunger there with each passing second that she can feel building between them especially when he gently bites her lower lip. The robe loosens around her as he unties it and the feel of his hands running over her nightdress send a pleasant shiver up her spine in anticipation of what is to come. He seems stunned between kisses once he gets a good view of her and she can't help the swell of pride that she can do that to him even in her night clothes.

Daenerys returns every kiss that she gets and giggles softly at his tease. "You may." She answers perhaps a bit too eagerly ready to feel his hands against her heated skin. There is a soft sound that leaves her at the kisses to her jaw and her hands reluctantly leave him to allow him to slide off the robe. The moment the fabric hits the floor though one hand is sliding through his hair and the other resting over his heart once more. "I don't think I've ever wanted someone so much in my life." She mutters before finding his lips once more.

There's something so domestic about that statement, something he never thought he'd hear before now and to hear it from Dany's lips is something like a dream. Then to follow that, her sweetness and delicate touch glides along his skin unguided. Unflinching. And he glances down at one of her hands and further back to her when she says as much. She isn't afraid. Logan leans into the fingers tracing under his jaw, savoring the sensation as he will through the night, when she leans forward and breaks any remaining subtlety between them with a kiss that takes his breath away. Once it breaks, he wastes no time in leaning back in for another heated kiss.

His hands had since found rest at her waist, and the fabrics she wears suddenly seem so heavy beneath his fingers. Not relinquishing his rather hungry hold of her lower lip, gently bitten, he easily unties the soft knot of the robe. Kissing her sweetly this time, as his hands slide beneath the robe and hold her more securely, he breaks away to better see the crimson night dress adorning her. She looks absolutely ravishing and he can't speak a moment, only smile softly and lean in for another kiss. "Now who's overdressed." He teases with a soft chuckle. "May I?" He whispers against her chin, kissing his way along her jaw, waiting until he has permission to slide off that robe.

One thing was certain in all of this she did trust her son with many things. One day she would have to trust that she raised him well enough to rule the Seven Kingdoms, but he still had much to learn. During times of war she was discovering that there was still much that she needed to learn and her education seemed to be lacking for what to do when your younger brother tried to take your crown. "It isn't a matter of if I trust you to be loyal, Jace." The Queen started realizing her tone might be a bit harsh at first so softening it as she continued. "It is a matter of trusting you to keep a level head. A good ruler listens to all council of those around them before making a choice. Even if some of those members make you want to take their heads. I'm afraid your father and I both have short tempers and you have certainly inherited that. Do you believe you can keep it under control?"

He lowered his eyes, tensing his jaw as he thought over what to tell her. He understood clearly that losing his temper was something that he did far too often. Maybe even at the worst of times however he knew that if given the chance then maybe Jace could prove himself. He straightened himself somewhat, looking into his mother's eyes with a sharp intake of breath. "If you give me your trust then I will be loyal..." he trailed off for a moment and then lowered his gaze. "...I'll be worthy of your trust." He wanted that to be the truth.

There was something about that cocksureness of Mat's response that put her at ease if only slightly. It was one thing to have the confidence to say such a thing, but another thing entirely to back it up with action. From the looks of his camp his men were well prepared to handle a war and she had to trust that even though they haven't faced dragons that they would not balk when it came time. Rhaenyra was putting a lot of trust in these strangers and a lot of coin for them to stay loyal and not fail her. "I do hope that it will be as simple as you make it sound." Though she had her doubts she did not let that show in her demeanor or voice.

"I'd like to hear your plans for if you do meet a dragon on the field of battle. What do you have in place for that?" Rhaenyra looked at him almost expectantly though she would accept if he said there was no plan as of yet. Surely he had concepts of a plan though given that she had summoned him.

the war was bound to be a vicious one. but his men had fought on the other side of the seas for a long time. they could handle it. no, they had never fought with dragons. but many men had survived that. and if anyone could he knew that it would be his men. he was determined that they would. they knew the threat, they knew what they faced. and they had still followed him, every single one of them. the weight of that responsibility was just about the heaviest thing that he had ever carried. but he was determined to prove them right. if they chose to follow him for reasons only gods know! he was going to make sure that he never put them to shame.

he leans just slightly so that he can get a better look at her face. wanting to be eye level with her. his eyes move between her's before a smile comes to his face. he feels a thickness at the back of his throat, his hearts pounding in his chest. he feels a little light headed even. but he won't let that show. he doesn't think that's the best idea. she wanted a commander there that was strong, sure of himself. that's what she was paying for. and that was what she was going to get. "well, your grace, there's a simple solution to that." he says, a sure smile coming to his face just then. "we'll make sure that we don't get caught by them." a tip of his hat then. "-- and we'll win."

Continued from discord with @scriptorxfabularum

This was a dangerous game the two of them were playing and yet she didn't want to stop. It could be disastrous for them both, but any thought that told her they should stop was drowned out by the feel of his lips on her skin. This was what she had wanted for so long. How many days had she spent watching him and fantasizing about how their first kiss would be and then their future together. She wanted to be his wife, his queen even and now that he was a King would it not be in his best interest to choose one soon?

Perhaps once the war was over she could entertain more of those thoughts, but for now she was enjoying being in the moment. Enjoying the feel of his hand moving down her body and pressing her more into him as their tongues tangled in a tantalizing kiss. His moan into her mouth was echoed by one of her own at the feeling of what lie beneath his breeches against her and she arched up into it wanting more. Her hands wandered down the front of his chest and wrapped around his back to hold him in closer to her. The desire to have him take her on that desk just rising with every beat of her heart and second that passed between them.

With the kiss broken and his words spoken between them it was as if some spell was broken and she realized what kind of truly compromising position they were in. It was as if a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped on her and the little bit of space he made between them a chasm. Daenerys let out a small breath of disappointment as she tried to regain her senses more. "You're right... We shouldn't." But gods above did she want to. Instead her good hand found his and rested on top of it with a little squeeze. "Though I do very much desire to, it wouldn't be right. Not right now anyways." It pained her to say so, but perhaps this moment would push something forward for the two of them.

@ssolessurvivor sent: This was one hell of an idea. He had been part of the meeting, but he hadn't exactly spoken out against it. He could see what Rhaenyra was going for, what she would try, and he wasn't going to stop her. But now, as Vermithor stirs deep within the cavern, he feels sorry for all these people trying to get a taste of glory. His eyes can't, however, depart from Rhae's back as she stands and commands Vermithor, who roars and growls low in his throat. Logan is standing on the overlook above the slab of warm bodies, the nerves in his stomach fluttering. The dragon god quiets and Rhaenyra touches her hand to the the scales and Logan allows a silent sigh of relief to wash over him. Now...now he just waits until she'll come join him, and they'll see to the fates of the gathered.

This was a huge risk and she knew that. Jace knew that when he came up with the idea, but they had more dragons than they did riders and if even just one of these dragon seeds gathered could ride one that would be one more in their favor. War wasn't fair and just because they did not hold the Targaryen name didn't mean they didn't have a stake in who sat her father's throne. So they gathered up as many as would come at a chance of glory and now as she summoned Vermithor to meet them she could feel the nerves.

Vermithor wasn't her dragon, but he could have been after the passing of her grandfather. She felt exhilarated touching his snout knowing that she was safe even with him. As she wished those gathered good luck she glanced ever briefly up at Logan before she disappeared to go up and join him. This would either make or break them and not many of those gathered were likely to survive. Once she was up on the over look with him she gave him a half hopeful look that this would go well. But she knew from Rhaena's struggles that trying to bond with a dragon could be deadly.

"Hopefully this goes well." She muttered quietly to him before the carnage began and her hopes began to plumet. But she only needed two riders to come out and there were dozens of hopefuls down there. Still she found herself reaching out to take his hand for support.

@ssolessurvivor sent: "I've missed you."

This wasn't something that she expected when he had put her on that life boat. The whole time she was floating until the Carpathia came for them she had come to terms with the fact she may never see Logan again. His jacket hadn't left her shoulders as it was the only thing she would have other than the memories of their time together. Daenerys almost couldn't believe her ears when she heard him and her eyes widened with disbelief as if she was certain that she was seeing things.

"Logan?" She question before risking the chance of looking crazy running into the arms of a phantom. She launched herself at him wrapping her arms around his neck happy to find he was real. He was there and she could feel his body against her own. Dany nuzzled her face into his neck breathing in his scent as she held onto him tightly. "I missed you too." She wasn't going to let him go anytime soon not since she regretted letting go back on the Titanic.

"I'm never letting you go again."

[incissam]

Rhaenyra grinned at his thanks and met his hug with a kiss of her own. "You're welcome sweetie. I hope you like your gift." She knew that she wouldn't be able to tell him no especially since she almost forgot about his birthday. She smirked at him at those big puppy eyes of his before she leaned in for another kiss. "Hmm... Let me think about it." She teased pretending to think for a moment.

"Well... since it is your birthday..." She purposely drags it out as she gets plates out and the pie server. She wasn't going to argue with that in the slightest because she knew how much he loved pumpkin stuff and he just looked so adorable. "I guess we can have dessert before dinner." She finished cutting him off a piece and handing him the plate. "Happy birthday, baby."

Rhaenyra had to cheat. Logan's birthday had totally snuck up on her and she wasn't prepared to make anything for him. So she bought at pumpkin pie from their favorite bakery and some candles to celebrate. She also managed to get him a gift of a signed copy of one of his favorite books.

@incissam sent birthday things !

He'd been out raking leaves most of the afternoon, seeing as the trees tended to dump their leaves all within the span of a week and it got away from him rather quickly. So when he found himself wandering into the house for dinner and a much needed break to warm up, Logan smiles at the little presentation on the dining room table. Some candles, a pumpkin pie, and a special, signed edition to add to his bookshelves.

"Rhae, thank you sweetie." Logan muses with a smile and a hug, soon after a kiss. "Does this mean we get to have dessert before dinner?" Just this once, probably, smiling softly with an expectant puppy eyes look on his face.

[incissam]

Seeing his smile made all the work worth it and his sisters did exactly as she had asked keeping him away. Dany smirked at his tease and returned his kiss. "No one was trying to be stealthy, honey." She motioned with her head for him to follow her back into the kitchen where a feast of his favorite foods were waiting for him. "I just wanted them to keep you out of the kitchen so I could do this for you without distraction." She pressed another kiss to his cheek after placing the yellow cake with raspberry filling on the table.

"I hope you're hungry." She motioned to the spread.

Dany had spent most of the morning baking wanting to surprise Logan with a home made birthday cake. She had his sisters distract him for her while she worked on making the cake and a birthday dinner for him. Hearing Logan come in she carried the cake with lit candles out of the kitchen singing happy birthday. "Happy birthday, Logan!"

@incissam sent birthday things !

While he knew something would be up when Logan was sent away to help his sisters at the bakery get it decorated for the new season change that happened like the flip of a coin this time of year, they didn't mask things very well. For one, they wouldn't let him take some pastries home because, surely, he'd have more than enough leftovers soon. So when he got home and wandered in the front door, toeing off his shoes, he stops when he hears her singing echoing through the house to meet him here. His smile is instant as he tosses his jacket on the little table for now.

"Oh honey, thank you." He says and blows out the candles once she's done singing, careful to blow them away from her so she isn't assaulted by the smoke. He waves some of it away to save her from the brunt of it. "Looks delicious, but you and my sisters aren't exactly stealthy." He teases with a smile but leans in to kiss her tenderly, careful not to get frosting on his shirt.

[incissam]

@ssolessurvivor sent: "I love you, but you have to go."

She didn't want to leave him. Getting on that life boat without him set in a certain level of dread in the unknown of if he would even survive. Daenerys clung to Logan's hand and arm not wanting to let go of him. "I can't leave you." She almost pleaded with him as they got closer and closer to the men helping women and children into the boats. "Logan please, don't make me go." There were tears brimming in her eyes with all of the what ifs that hung between them in those minutes.

What if he died, what if she died, what if she would never get to see him again? The questions swirled in her head and knotted her stomach as the line brought them closer to the front. Their time together might have been short, but she had never been happier with someone and couldn't imagine life without him. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she let go of him and never got to see the way his eyes sparkled when he looked at her ever again. "I love you, Logan. I love you more than life itself. Please don't make me live without you."

There were only a few people between them and the boats now. Logan was the only force that kept her moving forward in his resolution to make sure she got on one of those boats. "You have to come with me." She was begging now and she knew it wouldn't work. He would put her on that boat even if she took his jacket with her trying to cling to him. She knew that much for certain.

Hi guys I'm not dead. Life has just been lifeing pretty hard and now I'm adjusting to life with a new dog. This is Bitzy and she is a tiny terror that has us all wrapped around her little paw.

@ssolessurvivor sent: [ LIE ] — sender rests their head on receiver’s chest to hear their heartbeat

It was wild how little time they had actually spent together and yet she felt as if she had known Logan her entire life. Laying here in his bed together after a tousle in the sheets felt as if she had been doing it for years rather than three days now. Her eyes were closed as her fingers stroked through his blonde strands just relaxing with his head on her chest. Her mind wanders for a moment to what the future could be like for them once they hit land. If there even was a future for them or if this was all just a boat fling.

Daenerys let out a soft sigh as she opened her eyes and looked down at him. "When we get off of this boat..." She starts quietly as her fingers move down along his back slowly now. "Will you still want to be with me?" It is her fear that this is just all one fantasy that will have to end once they reach their destination and her heart will break. She has become so attached to Logan in this short amount of time that it just feels so unreal that it could possibly end. "Or does our story end with the boat docking?"

[incissam]

@ssolessurvivor sent: "Hold onto me ok? I'll get us out of here."

The alarms were going off and people were moving around in a panic. The ship had hit an iceberg and was sinking. Daenerys wasn't even fully registering what was going on at the moment as her and Logan entered the fray of people and she heard him speak. Her head nodded in agreement as she latched onto his arm as if it was the only thing that was going to get her to safety. She wasn't good in an emergency, it wasn't that she was panicking, but she could feel herself starting to shut down.

"I trust you." She held onto his arm a bit tighter one hand lacing her fingers with his and squeezing tight. If nothing else they will be together when they die, that was kind of romantic right? Dany took a deep breath as they moved through the sea of people toward hopefully safety together on the life boats. "What do we do if we don't make it in time?" That wasn't helping how her chest constricted with the first real sign of panic, but she had to ask. She needed to know that Logan had a plan.

[incissam]

@ssolessurvivor sent: It wasn't too long after he'd been released from the hospital, the trail had since concluded but tonight is just too much. He's in tears as he calls Dany's number, far too late into the night but he doesn't want to bother his family this time. Selfish as that feels. When he hears her voice, everything overflows. "I'm sorry, I know it's late, but...I just, I need help." He takes a deep breath in, it trembles and he winces at the same time. "I'm in a lot of pain, I...I didn't know who else to call." He knows he sounds ridiculous, utterly stupid even, but she might help him get through this weird combination of pain, fear and insurmountable grief.

It wasn’t unusual for Daenerys to be awake in the middle of the night. Sometimes it was because she was working on a case and lost track of time, sometimes it was just good old fashioned insomnia, and sometimes it was because she woke up from a nightmare. Tonight it was just insomnia keeping her burning the midnight oil as she lounged in her bed trying to read herself to sleep. What she wasn’t expecting was the phone call from Logan thinking with the trial done they likely wouldn’t see one another again. She answered immediately.

“Logan? Are you okay?” Concern laced her voice as she recalled how some of his nights at the hospital had been. She knew he had been released and worried he was having a night like that when he started talking. He sounds awful and scared she notes as she’s already getting out of her bed and walking towards her living room. “It’s okay, don’t worry about me. You’re in a lot of pain? Have you taken any meds for it?” She wasn’t sure what all he had now that he was released it wasn’t really her business but she still cared about him. She didn’t care that she was in her pajamas as she pulled a hoodie on and slipped on her shoes.

“Do you need me to come over and stay with you for a bit? I don’t mind to. I can read to you until you fall asleep like at the hospital.” She didn’t bother to say she was already on her way as she grabbed her car keys and locked her front door behind her leaving her dogs behind looking confused after her. “Tell me what you need and I will do it if it’s within my power.”

[incissam]

Gods she loved him so much. The Gods had truly blessed her when they brought him into her life and for it to be so that they could be wed. Rhaenyra smiled back at him since he didn't think he would regret and didn't want a reward for going. She stroked along the back of his hand with her thumb as she sighed. "We should probably get going to it." Though she really did not wish to get up from the bed at the moment.

"Help me up please, darling?" It was getting difficult to get up now with how large their child was growing. "I have a feeling we will be taking a slower walk to the counsel chambers today."

With the ghost of her kisses pressed against his hands he ruminated the very thought of going into that Small Council room. He could imagine it, standing there and listening to all of them, his mind a thousand miles away just so that he could keep his cool. He did know that this was important after all, however.

"I don't think I'll regret it." He answered gently, his eyes softening as he looked down at her. She really was everything to him and if this helped her in any kind of way then he was willing to do it. "It's reward enough."

[incissam]

He didn't need to tell her twice to get down there in the bed with him. Rhaenyra got into the bed and snuggled up against Rand putting her face into his chest. "Thank you." She mumbled and closed her eyes just breathing him in. She didn't want to think about going back to the palace right now and facing her father. She didn't want to think about Alicent either or what had just happened she just wanted to not think at all. Rhaenyra nuzzled more into his chest in a silent request to help her forget.

His heart breaks for her continually. He couldn't imagine what it was that she was going through. All that he could hope for was that him sitting here and being with her was something that would ease what she was going through. Gently he brushed back some of her hair once he came closer to the bed. The bed wasn't very big but if he held her then there was sure to be enough space. He lowered himself down onto his side, fluffing the pillows under him. "Comehere.." he softly ordered.

[incissam]

There was something about Rand that had soothed her nerves the more that they talked. He seemed to understand her already on a level that not even Viserys seemed to get. She felt as if she could talk to him about whatever she wished and he would listen without trying to tell her she was wrong for feeling any certain way. It was... nice to have that she realized. So with the given permission on top it felt better and like she could actually give him a real smile so she did. Daenerys smiled softly at him and bowed her head a little.

"I really don't want to upset you though with my sad stories." She was just starting to get to know him and appreciate him it would be bad to chase him away now. Dany was just getting to the point where she was considering that she could be happy with him. And then he asked that question and she looked at him completely confused. "What do you mean, set me free?" She didn't understand.

Her mind was racing a million miles an hour as she thought over every little thing that she said to him. Had she somehow given him the impression that she didn't wish to be married to him? That she had no desire to be here or was it something else? "I'm afraid I don't understand what you're offering exactly." Or if he meant to be free of him also.

He shook his head to tell her that she definitely did not need to apologize. And why should she? It was obvious that she had been through so much and that her stay here with Illyrio was also not something that was permanent. Somewhere inside he knew that this marriage was a means to an end for her brother. He couldn't not think of that.

"You can feel free to talk about anything you want." He told her with a quiet assurance, his eyes had already softened considerably since he had first arrived. He had come here guarded and misplaced but talking to her seemed to have changed things considerably since just a handful of hours ago. He hoped that she felt something of the same.

A thoughtful sigh parted from him as he looked off away from her. It took a moment before he turned his attention back to her once more. "I have to ask you something first..." he began, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "...Do you not want to be here? Would you rather...I set you free?"

[incissam]

The two of them are terrible together always finding themselves in these positions where they wanted to tear one another's clothes off. Rhaenyra would never complain about it because it spoke for their comfort level with one another. The two of them could go from cuddling on the couch reading to hopping into bed together so quickly and seamlessly it sometimes made her dizzy. This time though she was ready even if the sight of him sucking his fingers clean of her taste made her want to moan again. He always knew just what to do to to drive her crazy for him.

His command wasn't missed though and almost as smoothly and seamlessly that he moved to the back so did she. Once the doors were closed behind them both she made her move getting on top of him as she pressed a heated kiss to his lips as her hands wandered up under his shirt. All mine. She mentally told herself as she brought the shirt up and up until she could toss it off of him toward the front of the truck. Then she went for his pants starting to undo them as she continued to kiss him almost feverishly.

Logan peeked over at her and couldn't help but smirk, noticing how she writhed in the seat. He enjoyed having the option that she didn't mind having some fun in the truck, something about it was fairly amusing to him. The fact he could open the door at work and think back to all the times they'd had fun there granted him a naughty little smile. He offers a soft mhmm at her question, closed lipped because he's also slipping fast. The noises she makes are like music to his ears, listening to her words when she can think coherently to speak.

He can't help chuckling at her statement as they pull up into the little tunnel of trees they usually hid away in. Her hand on him distracts him for a slight moment as he puts his foot on the break, a little gasp of his own filtering out between parted lips the same time she moans. Looking over at her, he removes his hand from her and brings his fingers to his mouth, sucking them clean before turning the truck off. "Backseat. Now." He groans softly, turning and opening the driver's side door, swiftly striding through it and switching seats rather fluidly.
