His Love

|Aegon II Targaryen x Fem!Reader|

Part Thirty

Masterlist of Series

Summary: Being a bastard born in the slums of Flea Bottom was all you were known for. Not the streak of white you had in your dark hair, the violet ring around your pupils, or how your sharp tongue and skills with the blade resembled your father, Daemon Targaryen. You were just a bastard, nothing more, but to him, to Aegon Targaryen, you were everything. You were his love.

Author's Note: Hey, y'all! Happy New Year! I am giving another big thank you to everyone who moved on to 2024 with me. I never thought I would have this much recognition for a story if I'm honest. I can't comprehend how many people like something that I put so much effort and time into. It's honestly so wild, and I can't thank y'all enough. <3

Chapter Warnings: Larys Strong AGAIN, sexual humiliation, a lot of misogyny. 

The discussion with Queen Alicent hung heavily and close to your heart, yet you held firm even when Aegon badgered you with questions about what she said, following you everywhere in the Keep like a pesky fly on a summer day. It was not right for you to divulge the information of private conversations; you wouldn't want someone to do that with yours, but as you thought on the subject in the following days and the eldest son's persistence, you let one thing slip.

"All right, Aegon, just be quiet!" you groaned with exasperation as he sat straight like a pup being scolded.

At first, you regretted telling him of Alicent's orders for you to leave King's Landing, though you realized it was more advantageous to do so. It furthered the divide between Mother and son, adding a sprinkle of animosity in your favor. After the discussion with Ma, it was necessary to ensure she still agreed to help prevent the Prince from becoming king.

Talking with her helped chisel the heavy rock lodged in your stomach since Aegon came floating into your chambers with jests of ruling the kingdom. Madam's network of spies ranged far across King's Landing but had yet to surpass that of the Master of Whispers. She assured you that even though Lord Strong had many, he did not have those that mattered.

You had to put trust in someone who was not yourself, and that was something that never ceased to cause the rock to mineralize again.

***

The crimson leaves of the Heart Tree swayed in the winter breeze, its bone-colored bark reflecting the cold temperature. You pulled your cloak together, a rather elaborate thing of golden furs and embroidered satin.

You would not have chosen it for yourself, but Aegon insisted on purchasing it while you visited the Street of Loom. And once the tailor noted two finely dressed individuals, one with silver hair, buying a matching gown was simply a must.

The merchant pitched the garment much higher than you saw his other items and fellow workers. You planned on letting the Prince use his coin any way he wanted for your trip, but that was something you could not let him do.

The Loom merchant resisted your haggling, his expression one of offense for thinking he would ever overcharge a crowned Prince, but you knew better. As a girl, it was your job to purchase supplies and food for the working women, and with golden dragons far and few, you managed to afford enough to survive. Or, well... steal.

By the end, you left the swindling tailor with a new fur cloak and a dress to pair, an intricate solid gold belt with asscher cut diamonds thrown in for the trouble.

You felt proud of yourself for securing such a bargain. Your inner child who sought the approval of those you admired was fulfilled. Even though the gown matched the elaborateness of the coat, something you would not choose if, in your wardrobe, you wore it with confidence, your chin high and shoulders rolled back.

Aegon made you feel these emotions, you thought as you listened to the whispers of bloody leaves above. He helped you grow and blossom in ways your Father or Mother could never. He lifted you onto the pedestal you deserved. You were not the bastard daughter of Daemon Targaryen to him; you were everything.

You were his friend, lover, the only person who understood him, listened, comforted, and dried his tears when no one else cared. You deserved to have someone who treated you the same, gave you the acceptance and validation you craved, someone who did not see you as an extension of themselves to do their bidding. Aegon gave that to you, a perfect equal of give and receive to one another, a match made of love and not politics.

And his love was peaceful. It was calm. It kept you warmer than the coat the Prince bought you, even as the winter air swept through your neatly plaited locks.

"Princess," a masculine voice called, the sound softer than the whisper of mist surrounding you in the early morning.

It was so quiet you hadn't a clue who it was, turning with a polite smile and your arms neatly tucked behind your back. You wished you hadn't acknowledged the man as Lord Larys Strong stood before you, hunched over his finely crafted firefly cane, curly hair loose at his ears.

The sigh you released at his presence was hardly proper, squaring your shoulders as you spoke with all Courtly people. "Lord Strong... What a surprise. How may I be of assistance?"

The man snickered, bowing his head as he waited for you to take a step closer as was deemed polite. When you did not move, your amiable expression never leaving, he grinned, finally speaking again.

"Yes, Princess, a pleasure. I was hoping to speak to you on matters of the Prince," he expressed.

All the color drained from your face.

"The Queen has brought it to my attention that, perhaps, you are spending too much of your time with the Prince. She believes that it mayhaps be better spent else where."

The flame of hatred for Larys Strong was reignited with a sudden burst; your jaw clenched as your eyes became slits.

"I believe what you speak is untrue. The Queen and I have come to a..." you paused, unable to find the correct way to express the secret Alicent unwillingly divulged, "certain understanding. We've discussed her concerns and come to an agreement. You've no need to worry yourself on her behalf." You nodded with a genteel but firm finality, pulling your fur coat closer to your body as you began to exit, set to see only one person in mind. "Good day, ser."

Larys was not foiled so easily. He had spent the entirety of your stay at the Red Keep waiting patiently for the perfect opportunity to trap you in his web. He refused to let the bastard girl with dark eyes and blood on her hands get away and moved his wooden cane into your path.

Despite the Lord being hunched over due to his deformity, you still had to look up at him, his blue eyes sharp and cold like the brackish waters that clashed on the cliffs of Dragonstone. "Forgive me, Princess, but Her Grace has sent me to speak with you, and I do not intend to keep her wishes unfulfilled."

You squinted in response, taking a single pace back and rising to his eye level. "I believe we can speak plainly here, Princess. I know you find the manners of courtly talk abhorrent." When you did not halt him in his silence, he continued, slightly tilting his chin down like prey seeking to appear meek and unappetizing to its predator. "Do you recall all those years ago, when you were just a young girl, stolen from all she knew?"

The recollection of those events was something you still had difficulty allowing yourself to recall. So many life-changing and heart-shattering things happened in that short time, but you still sought to process it. Larys' lighthearted approach to it caused your chest to feel hollow. The memories of isolation, loneliness, fear, and anger all came flooding past the protective dam you created.

"I thought to extend you a helping hand in your time of need, but you turned it away. It hurt me deeply to see such a young child broken and scared enough to reject an offer from the goodness of one's heart," he expressed, blue eyes lowering to the frosted ground in mock reverence. "I am, once again, simply a man seeking to help a scared girl in a world over her head."

Fury ran hot through your veins, boiling your bones and the very blood that gave you life. Before you realized it, your hand was wrapped around the Strong Lord's throat, fingers digging into the flesh and tendons as his gaze filled with fear. It would be easy to kill him. A simple twist of the neck would be all it takes, just the way your Father taught you. You were sure he would be proud of doing so.

The thud of Larys' cane hitting a stone as it found its way to the ground caused you to realize the severity of your actions, looking around to ensure no one saw. A young servant scurried along the covered hallway separating the Godswood from the Keep, realizing he was caught.

It was most likely one of the Master of Whispers' "spiders" that he so lovingly called, keeping watch to ensure that if anything of value happened during the conversation, there would be more than one witness.

Your grip loosened for Larys' neck, his unruly stubble scratching against your palm as it slid down to the collar of his intricately sewed tunic, resting your hand on his chest. You giggled, the sound eerily contrasting the seriousness of your attempted murder, a heart-stopping grin pulling your cheeks.

"The only thing that is preventing me from putting you where you belong is justice for all the other little girls you sought to take advantage of." Your breath was hot, steam hitting his face as a dragon would. "It is not me who will execute your punishment. The Gods have a place in the Seven Hells for men like you."

You let go of your hold on his jerkin, the Lord crumbling at your feet without his cane. The sight was fitting. A man who constantly searched for ways to hurt people, to harm people, for his own game was cowering before you. It was his proper place.

"Tell the Queen that my decision remains, and that my Mother also remembers their shared youth fondly."

You spared the Strong Lord no parting glance, leaving him to reach for his walking stick with embarrassment that only a man like him deserved.

***

The force of Aegon's thrusts pushed you up his extravagant bed, mewling and moaning as you sought for purchase in the sheets. He was feral as he plowed through your walls, noises emanating from his chest that sounded like a growl.

"These fucking tits," he groaned, eyes locked onto your jolting mounds. Your head tilted back in euphoria underneath his gaze, clenching around him.

Your breasts were moving in time with his brutal thrusts, making you unable to fully catch your breath as the air was pistoned out of your lungs. Aegon's hands pawed at them, kneading the malleable flesh underneath his fingers roughly as you released a nasally sound.

The Aegon that was submissive to your touch was gone and left only a man who chased his desires inside a woman's cunt. Each push caused his cockhead to kiss your womb, moving his hips more mind-numbing than the last.

Aegon had one goal in his sights, fuck that sweet puffy cunny of yours until you forgot all worries. He grew to know the telltale signs of your distress: cuticles frayed, mouth crude, and constant fidgeting. He had noticed the rawness of your lips, skin nipped and picked until the flesh turned red and white, legs never ceasing movement at rest.

He did not believe it despite you telling him about the conversation with his Mother, and now Larys Strong did not bother you. Aegon understood that expressing your dolor was foreign, never having someone to divulge your worries to and have them validate them. He knew it would take some time for you to grow comfortable and accept that someone would give you a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen with, but he knew one way that always helped him forget his troubles...

Getting fucked.

And if Aegon so happened to get the added benefit of his pleasure, it was not something he would refuse.

His arms hooked under your knees, spreading them apart as he continued to rut into you, droplets of sweat glistening on his chest, creating a sheen that sparkled in the candlelight.

He was such a pretty boy. It was a thought that ran through your mind every time you saw him, and it created a deep envy to be a part of the same House and yet gifted such plain features. Aegon, with his elegant silver hair, exotic purple eyes, and smooth porcelain skin that showed veins of blue and green that looked like threads weaved into the tapestry of his flesh. With your dark hair and eyes, you have simple features for what people believe to be a simple girl. The only thing that indicated your Targaryen lineage was the white in your strands of ebony and the purple hidden within your irises. 

Your hands couldn't help but run over the planes of his chest, muscles rippling from exertion. It made you grateful to have someone so close to a god panting above you as his cock rubbed against your sweet spot.

Aegon's fists grabbed your own, leaning over to place both on the pillows beneath your head. Hot arousal shot through you at the action, his face hovering above yours.

You captured Aegon's lips in a desperate kiss, whining and wanting intimacy as you swallowed each other's breaths. The hair at the base of his manhood rubbed against your pearl, causing your legs to jerk inward to your body and your hips to move on their own accord, grinding against his pelvis.

"Fucking take it," he hissed against your cheek, hips pistoning into you like an animal in a rut.

"So good," you sighed, legs wrapping around his waist.

"You fucking love this, don't you?" You nodded into another kiss, his lips trailing down to suck at an already tender spot beneath your throat. "It's so hard being the one who takes care of everything. Sacrificing your happiness for the good of the realm, being the dutiful daughter your Father wants you to be."

Your nails dragged down his shoulders, digging into the thick muscle as he bit at the vein on your throat, licking the sensitive spot to soothe it. "I don't-" you breathed, voice faltering as his fingers snaked to the throbbing bundle of nerves, circling it swiftly, "I don't want to think about that right now."

"Oh, but all you do is think," Aegon purred, balancing his weight on his unoccupied forearm. "You think, think, think about the realm, family, the future, me." He exaggerated, punctuating every word with a thrust.

Each movement of his hips and fingers hurdled you toward the edge at breakneck speed, your body unable to catch up as you felt slick leak around his cock, trickling down through your arse. The sounds coming from between your legs caused you to shy away in embarrassment, attempting to hide your flushed cheeks in the goose-down pillows.

"Oh, no, no, no," Aegon teased, pushing your head back to its place, seeing the tears that gathered in your shut eyes from his forceful thrusts. "Let me see that face, and those eyes, pretty thing. Beautiful."

You released a sob at his compliments, unable to process the intensity of his gaze, the mere centimeters away his countenance was from yours. You could see every microexpression form on his features, every pull of his brows, every pinch of his lips and clench of his jaw. The noiseless grunts in your ear were better than the finest music you had ever heard, better than anything a bard could play, sending you teetering over the edge.

"Come on. Peak for me, Princess. I know you can do it."

Aegon did not falter in his actions, continuing with the harsh snaps of his hips, jolting your breasts, causing you to grab them for purchase as his fingers rubbed your swollen nub until you finally burst.

A gush of slickness rushed from your womanhood as you released with a fierce cry, your peak crashing into you like waves in a storm at sea. It collided with your body as you arched and shook, digits digging into your breasts, eyes seeing the night sky and stars blooming in your vision.

"That's it. You're doing so well," Aegon grunted, halting his movements as you clenched brutally around his shaft, keeping him firmly in place. "Just let it happen."

Your hands tangled into his hair, gripping the roots meanly as the spasms of your cunt eased, leaving your waist and limbs trembling and twitching beneath your lover. As your heart calmed with your chest heaving, you grabbed Aegon's face, smashing your lips against his, realizing he hadn't reached completion.

"Aegon," you whispered against his mouth, beginning to question him.

He shushed you, knowing what you would ask before voicing it. He understood you would not give up so easily as he felt your hips begin to undulate, pushing past your overstimulation in search of pleasing him. The Prince pulled out before you could assist him at the expense of yourself, lifting your pliant body and positioning you on your stomach, head at the foot of the bed.

Delicate strands of ebony stuck to the back of your neck, trapping the heat and sweat into a sticky, uncomfortable mess, though you hardly cared. You lay there flat on Aegon's wrinkled sheets, your chest rising and falling as you fought to catch your breath.

Everything had been so quick and intense that you had trouble comprehending what had happened. One moment, you were sitting in the Prince's solar, fuming over Larys' words, and the next, you were rutted into at such a pace you thought the bedframe would crack. Yet, despite an underlying notion of befuddlement, you were at ease. Your limbs felt like they were melting into the mattress, a euphoric warmth wrapping your body in its comforting blanket, mind fuzzy.

Aegon gently nudged you from your head with tender touches of his digits, smoothing your hair away from your neck and above your shoulder with tender kisses. A deep, nasally moan came from you at the action, slowly rousing and returning to your body. His kisses began to travel lower, sweetly nipping and sucking places where the skin rolled.

He pecked each vertebrae of your spine, cherishing the very flesh of your bones. Aegon knew that kisses and actions of affection would never be able to display how deep his love for you went, but he would try. He would honor the very ground you walked on, worship your body as if it were the Maiden's, and pray to the sacred passages written in your veins. He knew it was sacrilegious, but he would gladly suffer the wrath of the Gods as he had a sliver of your love.

Finally, Aegon's lips reached your bottom, leaving a last kiss to your tail as he leaned upright, gazing at the ambrosial sight before him. Your curves, hips, waist, and arse were almost celestial in their beauty, the yellow candlelight illuminating your form. His hands dragged down those very features, squeezing when he reached your bottom, pushing the globes together as he dribbled a line of spit from his mouth to in between them.

You perked at the unexpected sensation, turning your head to see Aegon fisting his cock, angry and red at his procrastinated release. He pushed your skin closer together, member sliding in between the two mounds of flesh with ease.

It was strange to have him fucking the crease of your arse, skin enveloping his manhood like a glove, but it wasn't unpleasant. Any touch from Aegon was something you welcomed, especially when he was satiating his desires within your body. The mere thought excited you once more, your abused cunt arousing as he continued to seek his fulfillment.

It felt almost freeing to be used in such a way. You would allow Aegon to do as he pleased because you trusted in him. You both went through enough anguish and heartache to leave you raw and unable to hide, your soul bare for the other. For once, you had no worries, no purpose other than to lay there and let someone take care of themselves without the anxiety of wanting your help. The thought made your cunt clench with arousal.

Aegon's thrusts were sure in their intent as his fingers pinched at your cheeks, keeping the skin taught to resemble the feeling of your velvet walls. You let out a breathy sound, keeping your legs closer together as your thighs rubbed, seeking friction you knew only one thing could give you.

"Awe. Is that little cunny of yours wet again?" he patronized, voice sounding like a dove. "Do you need your brat prince to fuck you mindless again?"

You nodded, hiding your face in the crook of your elbow with a pathetic mewl that would leave your Father ashamed as Aegon slowly entered. The stretch was not as severe, your walls having grown accustomed to his girth as he began to do shallow, sturdy thrusts.

A low, almost inaudible grown released from your throat as pleasure leisurely began to mount. Aegon slowly lifted your hips, leaving your upper body prone as he used the new position for better leverage, skin molding under his fingers.

His pace was rhythmic, rooting into your cunt with a sureness of a skilled musician with their instrument. The contrast in dynamics between the Aegon who was impuissant against the denial of your presence, the Aegon who had brutalized your womanhood, and the one who now tenderly groped and massaged your flesh was stark. It sent your head spinning, retreating into your mind as your pleasure soon overpowered your senses.

"So beautiful," the Prince rasped, drunk on the pulsing sensation of your cunt, "so beautiful, my beautiful princess, my goddess."

His words were mumbled together, too far drowned into the cup of sex, spouting incoherent confessions of love and oaths that would put even the most lovelorn of poets to shame. Aegon could not shake the captivating movements of your body, enthralled with the repetitive ripples of your skin, violet eyes flicking to where his cock disappeared.

***

The halls of the Keep were bustling, being only a few hours past high noon, the sun shining over the top of the grey clouds. Ser Arryk had just left his midday meal, something you insisted he take after learning about his tendency to skip it in favor of his duty.

His path was sure as he walked between the red rock walls, armor clanking with every step. You had told Arryk you would meet him at the library in the west wing after his luncheon, but you had yet to show. He waited until the sun was in a low position before he left, conjuring excuses the entire time.

You were a princess, a woman who had duties to attend to, so it was common for you not to be punctual, but typically, you would send word by either servant or guard. It put an uneasy feeling in the knight's stomach, though he told himself not to worry. You were capable and could defend yourself if need be, yet he was still concerned.

Arryk was your protector. He swore an oath to the realm and you that he would serve and lay his blood before yours.

He knew he could be rather melodramatic at times; you told him so with a shake of your head and a bright smile. He repeatedly replayed the melodic lilt of your voice inside his head until he reached the eldest Prince's doors, his twin brother standing outside it.

He greeted Erryk with a nod, his twin staring back at him with a furrowed brown like his own.

"I am unaware of the Princess's whereabouts. She told me that we would meet in the library, but has yet to show. Have you seen her, brother?" Arryk questioned with a stiff spine.

Erryk continued to gaze at him with curious blue eyes. "Did she not tell you?" he inquired, tilting his helmeted head as he answered. "Her Grace and Prince Aegon have been within his chambers since this morning."

Arryk's heart began to race, blood rushing to his head and thumping in his ears. "In his chambers?" he echoed, voice rising. "Brother, you know this is entirely inappropriate. You are directly putting a child of the crown in danger within the hands of-"

He couldn't finish, his twin swiftly grabbing his arm and looking to ensure no one heard his treasonous confession.

"I know this, Arryk!" he shouted, a blue vein popping on his forehead. "I know the depths of his depravity better than anyone, yet I continue to do my duty without fail! What say you, brother?" He interrogated with an intense gaze, anger simmering into a steady boil. "Where is your, Princess now? In the bed of a lecherous wastrel who entertains himself with whores and drink."

"She is not," he replied hastily, like a child trying to convince a parent. "She would not debase herself."

Erryk stared at his twin, the person he shared a womb with now so distant and cold. An air of anger and disbelief he had never seen Arryk possess in his entire lifetime shook him to the bones, causing him to pause.

He had heard of the rumors of Princess Rhaenyra and her former protector, Ser Criston Cole, but never thought it was possible. The Kingsguard swore an unspoken oath of celibacy and no romantic love, yet here, his brother held a fury and sense of betrayal only a lover would feel. He needed to stop him from going down a path he could never follow.

Erryk stepped away from the door, and his brother entered without hesitation.

Arryk traveled through the Prince's entry room, dodging furniture and end tables with more skill than a stag. He heard noises from beyond the bedroom walls, and his stomach sank. He understood what they were, but his denial was too strong, guiding his limbs with a forlorn dread to the eldest son's bed chambers.

Hope did not die that he would enter into nothing. The soft grunts and moans were, for some other reason, only the Gods would know. He would even be relieved with the possibility that Aegon was taking you by force. Arryk would be able to do what he swore and protect your honor.

Anything. Anything would be better than what the knight's icy gaze saw.

There you lay on the Prince's bed, arse up and curves on display in Aegon's hands, moaning in adoration as he pounded into you from behind.

Arryk wished you were dead, oath be damned because this... this was far worse. The pair of you beat his already shattered heart bloody on the floor, crushing in time with the Prince's sure thrusts.

You did not hear Ser Arryk open the door. You were too lost in pleasure to be aware of anything. Aegon brought his appearance to your attention, blood running cold.

"We have a guest, little one," he jested, unceasing in his movements.

Your limbs went rigid, your body going into fight, flight, or freeze, your mind scrambling on what to do, where to go, and what to say. Aegon's unwavering ministrations did not help as you inhaled panicked breaths.

Pushing yourself up to hide in shame, he quickly grabbed you, hooking his arms around your waist and across your chest to your neck, putting your naked form on display.

You yelped at the sudden change in position, Aegon's cock nestling inside you impossibly deeper as he continued his ruts. You couldn't comprehend what was happening. It was all too much.

Pleasure, embarrassment, shame, and fear were at the forefront of your mind as your eyes burst with tears. It set your nerves on fire, your already overstimulated body alight with every emotion and sensation you felt. Your muscles were too weak to protest against Aegon's hold as his hand snaked down your mound of black curls in search of that bundle of nerves.

"Please," you simpered, attempting to hide your face in the Prince's damp hair, "don't look at me."

Rivers fell from your peculiar eyes at an alarming rate. You felt like that same little girl on the day Madam cast you out. The day that had set everything up into the perfect maelstrom you now lived. You were ashamed, almost fearful of Ser Arryk seeing you in such a vulnerable state, a condition you required the utmost amount of trust for you to be in.

You should be furious at the person who put you into this situation, displaying your most sacred parts for a common person to see, but you couldn't. You were only confused and terrified.

"My sweet girl," Aegon cooed into your ear. The kind words created no comfort, instead causing a guttural sob to release from your chest. "Tis all right. There is nothing for you to shed those pretty tears over."

Nothing could stop them, yet soon they turned into wet moans as his digits swiped at your nub with more purpose, a singular, humiliating, yet arousing goal in mind.

"Please... get... out," you beseeched the knight, finally bringing your watery gaze to meet his aghast one.

You could see it written plainly as the tomes you studied, Ser Arryk's betrayal. His sheer disgust for the sight before him. It made everything so much worse.

The protector's thoughts were treasonous, oath-breaking. You were a fine warrior, Visenya reincarnate, yet you let this man defile you. He wished you were another one of Aegon's victims, raped and uncared for, because then he would not have to witness this... this vulgar and repulsive display of pathetic, willing vulnerability you gifted Prince Aegon.

Arryk had worshiped you on a pedestal in silence. He compared you to that of the Mother and fantasized about a life separate from societal constraints where you could be what he dreamed.

But that was gone now, burned in the flames of those who shared the dragon's blood.

"Come now, Ser Cargyll, I am not blind to your affections toward my Princess. You should feel honored to see her in such a way," the Prince antagonized, his thrusts sure as they wound the already-formed ball in your stomach.

"Stop," you pleaded breathlessly.

That was the word Ser Arryk waited to hear, hand going to the pommel of his sword as he took a dangerous step forward.

"Oh, don't be so tense," Aegon chortled. "She may say to stop, but if I do, she'll beg me to continue. Isn't that right, little one?"

You refused to dignify his belittlement with a response, instead choosing to release a low mewl, head lulling as if the weight was too heavy.

You were growing dangerously close to your peak despite the horrendous shame that bubbled up inside, and you desperately did not want a member of the Kingsguard to see you in that defenseless state.

"You are going to bear witness to such a sight, ser. You shall be the second ever to see the glorious act of her release," Aegon continued to deride, making that feeling of self-hatred all the more prevalent. "I can feel her clenching, her cunt begging to peak, milking me for my seed." His lips moved flush against your hair, his breath moist as he uttered subdued grunts.

"Let go, my love," he pleaded, voice now noiseless and tender with scores of love and adoration. "Do this for me, please? I need you to come. Show him that you belong to me, that you desire me, love me."

You could never deny Aegon; it was one of your shared vices.

With a gentle kiss to the crown of your head and a handful of harsh ruts, your second peak arrived. It rattled your bones and overwhelmed your senses, feeling as if your mind had left this realm of existence from the sheer intensity of it.

Moans of ecstasy pierced Ser Arryk's ears like a needle to the eye, the sound causing bile to fill his mouth as he ran from the room, unable to keep watching and missing how the Prince sullied your perfect skin.

It relieved Aegon that the knight finally left. He grew increasingly guilty for the tears he had caused and continued to flow freely. Perhaps he had pushed you too far, he mused as his hot spend dripped from your stomach and onto the sheets. Anxiety crept into his chest as he felt your body finally grow limp, your hands grasping any part of him you could find to ground yourself.

You realized then that this moment was more for Aegon than you. His tears welled in his amethyst orbs as he began to apologize profusely. His actions came from a deep-seated insecurity that no reassurance could ever mend, and while it did not excuse what he did, it provided reason.

Remorse was the least he could offer after disgracing you in favor of tending to his broken ego as he kissed every piece of skin he could find. It would take time for you to forgive Aegon for the sexual humiliation he put you through, and you realize that he understood that, too, as he spouted incoherent regret.

You loved him, perhaps too much to be considered sane, but that was another item on your list of shared vices.

~ "A step cut diamond is a diamond that has been cut in a way that emphasizes its clarity and lustre. This is achieved by creating long, rectangular facets on the diamond’s surface arranged in parallel lines, creating a hall-of-mirrors effect and giving the diamond a clean and sophisticated look. This type of diamond cut is characterized by its clean lines, straight edges, and truncated corners. The first step cut diamonds were developed in the 16th century, and they quickly gained popularity due to their clean lines and symmetrical shape. The early step cut diamonds were not as precise as modern cuts, but they still had a unique appeal and were often used in jewellery worn by royalty and aristocrats. In the 18th and 19th centuries, diamond-cutting techniques continued to evolve, and the step cut became increasingly popular. The emerald cut, now the most popular type of step cut diamond, was originally developed for emeralds but was soon adapted for use with diamonds as well. Other types of step cuts include the baguette cut, the trapezoid cut, and the Asscher cut. Today, step cut diamonds are still highly prized for their understated elegance and sophisticated beauty. While they may not have the same level of sparkle as brilliant cut diamonds, their unique hall-of-mirrors effect and ability to showcase a diamond’s natural beauty and clarity make them a popular choice for engagement rings and other fine jewellery." ~

How to Choose the Right Diamond Fashion Necklace for Your Style?

A timeless, elegant piece of jewelry can be a diamond fashion necklace that can bring your outfit to a whole other level. From a statement piece or just a touch of sparkle, choosing the right necklace can be very time-consuming and must be done with your own personal style, occasion, and overall aesthetic in mind. This comprehensive guide will break down your options so you can choose the perfect diamond necklace to match your personality and wardrobe.

Understanding Your Style

From choosing an appropriate diamond fashion necklace, it is crucial to make an evaluation of your individual style. Are you attracted to traditional, contemporary, or antique style? If you like more minimalist fashion, choose a piece with a delicate pendant and a single diamond. For the bolder, a multi-layered or halo diamond necklace is a great piece to own. Decoding your inner fashionista will effectively tailor your necklace to suit your style sensibilities.

Consider the Necklace Length.

One of the aspects that significantly works in your favor when it comes to your necklace is length.

Choker (14-16 inches): Ideal for accentuating your face and for wearing under off-shoulder ensembles.

Princess (18 inches): A versatile option that pairs nicely with most necklines.

Matinee (20-24 inches): Recommended for stacking or as an accent piece for office wear.

Selecting the Diamond Shape

The diamond can also have a major effect on how the necklace looks. Common diamond shapes include:

Round Brilliant: A classic look with the most sparkle.

Princess Cut: A modern cut with a square shape.

Oval & Pear: Elegant shapes that exude sophistication.

Emerald & Asscher: Bold step-cut diamond shapes that give a vintage-inspired aesthetic and subdued elegance.

Picking a shape that fits with your style and looks good with your facial features.

Understanding How to Match with Your Outfit & Occasion

Your diamond jewelry should suit the same occasion and outfit with which you will be wearing the diamond fashion necklace. For formal affairs, a statement diamond collar or opera-length neckpiece can have a lasting impact. Conversely, a low-key diamond solitaire pendant or a dainty chain featuring dispersed diamonds would provide an elegant and subtle look for everyday wear or an office environment.

Metal Selection—Making a Statement

Your diamond necklace setting is another key factor to consider. Some of the more common metals include:

Gold & Platinum: Classic and shiny, perfect for making diamonds sparkle.

Yellow Gold: A traditional option that is warm and has a vintage feel.

Rose Gold: Different and a bit romantic, ideal for soft and delicate accents.

The skin tone can influence your choice of metal too. For cooler skin tones, white gold and platinum are a dream, while warmer tones tend to shine in yellow and rose gold.

Cohort Analysis

With a personalized diamond fashion necklace, you can make something that could have a personal meaning for you in your collection of fashion jewelry. You may even want to personalize your necklace with:

Engraved Pendants: Personalizing with initials or significant dates.

Birthstone Accents: Diamonds with your birthstone.

Unusual Locations: Selecting an original setting that fits your style.

How to Care for Your Diamond Necklace

Here are the care instructions to keep your Diamond Fashion Necklace looking beautiful and sparkling:

Separate it in a soft pouch so it doesn’t scratch.

Regularly clean it with mild, soapy water and a soft brush.

Have it professionally checked and the setting properly secured at least annually.

Conclusion

From retro-inspired diamond chokers to statement diamond-plated necklaces, when it comes to finding the perfect diamond fashion necklace, the possibilities are endless. By keeping in mind criteria like necklace length, diamond shape, metal type, and occasion, you can land a necklace that goes best with your look. So whether you prefer a classic solitaire pendant or a more daring statement piece, a diamond necklace is an accessory that can add elegance today and many years into the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best length for a diamond fashion necklace? The best length depends on your style and outfit. For versatility, an 18-inch princess-length necklace is a great choice, as it complements most necklines.

2. How do I know which diamond shape suits me best? Round and princess-cut diamonds suit most face shapes. If you want a more unique look, opt for an oval or pear-shaped diamond, which elongates the neckline.

3. How can I ensure my diamond necklace stays in good condition? Regular cleaning, proper storage, and periodic professional inspections will help maintain the brilliance and longevity of your diamond necklace.

What You Need to Know Before You Purchase a Diamond

Purchasing a diamond is a significant investment, whether it's for an engagement ring, a gift, or an heirloom piece. With so many factors to consider, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. However, understanding the essential elements of diamond selection will ensure you make a smart and informed choice. In this article, we will cover what you need to know before purchasing a diamond, with a special focus on Blue Nile Diamond, a trusted name in online diamond retail.

1. The 4 Cs of Diamonds

Before making any purchase, it’s essential to understand the 4 Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. These four characteristics determine a diamond’s overall quality and its price. Here’s a breakdown of each:

Cut: The cut refers to how well the diamond has been shaped and faceted. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully, giving it brilliance and sparkle. The quality of the cut can be the most important factor in how a diamond looks. A poorly cut diamond, even if it has high clarity or color, can appear dull or lifeless. The cut is graded from Excellent to Poor, with the highest grades commanding the highest prices.

Color: The color of a diamond is graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colorless diamonds are the rarest and most valuable, but diamonds with slight color can still appear nearly colorless to the naked eye. Understanding the color scale and what level of color suits your preferences and budget is important when selecting a diamond.

Clarity: Clarity refers to the presence of internal or external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes. The fewer imperfections a diamond has, the more valuable it is. However, most diamonds will have minor imperfections that are not visible to the naked eye. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I), with the latter having noticeable imperfections.

Carat Weight: Carat weight measures the size of the diamond. Larger diamonds are rarer and more expensive. It’s important to note that a larger diamond does not always mean better quality if other factors, such as cut and clarity, are compromised.

By understanding the 4 Cs, you will be in a better position to compare diamonds and decide what qualities are most important to you, depending on your budget and personal preferences.

2. Choosing the Right Diamond Shape

While the 4 Cs help determine a diamond’s quality, the shape of the diamond is equally important in its overall appearance. Popular shapes include:

Round: The most traditional and popular choice, round diamonds offer maximum brilliance due to their perfect symmetry and numerous facets. They tend to be the most expensive because they are in high demand and require more raw material to cut.

Princess: A square shape with sharp corners, the princess cut is the second most popular shape. It offers great brilliance and is often slightly less expensive than round diamonds.

Emerald: Known for its rectangular shape and step-cut facets, the emerald cut showcases clarity more than other cuts. It’s more elegant but can highlight any imperfections due to its large, open table.

Oval, Cushion, Radiant, Pear, and Asscher: Each of these shapes offers a distinct aesthetic. Consider the personal style of the wearer and the setting of the piece when choosing the right shape. Some shapes, like oval and pear, may appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight due to their elongated shape.

3. Certification and Grading

When purchasing a diamond, it’s crucial to ensure that the stone comes with a certification from a reputable grading organization, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gem Society (AGS). These organizations provide an unbiased assessment of the diamond’s 4 Cs and guarantee the stone’s authenticity.

You should always ask for a diamond's certification before purchasing, as it provides vital details about the diamond’s characteristics and value. Most reputable retailers, including Blue Nile Diamond, offer diamonds with certification from GIA or AGS, ensuring that you’re getting the quality you’re paying for.

4. Understanding Diamond Pricing

Diamond pricing is influenced by various factors, with the 4 Cs being the primary determinants. However, market demand, brand reputation, and the retailer's overhead costs can also play a role.

Retailers with a strong reputation, like Blue Nile Diamond, often offer competitive pricing due to their direct-to-consumer business model. By cutting out the middlemen typically involved in traditional jewelry stores, they pass the savings directly to the customer.

Additionally, diamond prices can vary based on the market value of precious metals (such as gold and platinum), which are often used in setting the diamond in rings or other jewelry. When purchasing a diamond, it’s also essential to consider these factors, as the setting will add to the overall price of the piece.

5. Where to Buy Your Diamond

Where you purchase your diamond is just as important as the diamond itself. Today, there are two primary avenues: traditional brick-and-mortar jewelry stores and online retailers.

Traditional Jewelry Stores: Visiting a store allows you to see the diamond in person, which can help you assess its brilliance, color, and size. However, these stores tend to have higher overhead costs, which means you might pay a premium for the same quality diamond.

Online Retailers: Online diamond retailers, such as Blue Nile Diamond, offer a wide range of diamonds at competitive prices. Shopping online allows you to easily compare diamonds based on the 4 Cs and find the best value. With an online retailer, you can often find better deals, and many reputable sites offer detailed certification, high-quality images, and virtual tools that help you visualize the diamond.

When purchasing online, it's important to check return policies, ensure the retailer offers certifications for the diamond, and read reviews to gauge the reliability of the service.

6. Diamond Settings and Customization

The setting plays a crucial role in how the diamond will be showcased. There are various options, such as:

Solitaire: A single diamond set on a band, this classic setting emphasizes the stone’s brilliance and is timeless.

Halo: A diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds, giving the appearance of a larger stone and adding extra sparkle.

Three-Stone: Symbolizing the past, present, and future, this setting features three diamonds, often with a larger center stone and two smaller side stones.

Pavé: A setting where the band is encrusted with tiny diamonds, providing a continuous sparkle around the main diamond.

Many retailers, like Blue Nile Diamond, offer customization options where you can choose the setting style, metal type (such as platinum, white gold, or yellow gold), and other features to create a truly unique piece.

7. Warranty and Insurance

Diamonds are valuable, and protecting your investment is essential. Most reputable retailers offer warranties to cover any potential issues with the diamond or setting. Blue Nile Diamond offers a warranty for their jewelry that covers defects in craftsmanship and provides repair services.

Additionally, it’s wise to insure your diamond, particularly if it’s an engagement ring or another high-value piece. Jewelry insurance will cover loss, theft, or damage to the diamond, ensuring you don’t face an irrecoverable financial loss.

8. Popular Brands: Blue Nile Diamond

When it comes to purchasing a diamond, brands like Blue Nile Diamond have built a reputation for offering high-quality diamonds at competitive prices. Blue Nile operates primarily online and offers a broad range of diamonds certified by reputable organizations like GIA and AGS. Their user-friendly website allows customers to easily search for diamonds based on specific criteria, including the 4 Cs, shape, and price range.

Blue Nile is also known for offering excellent customer service, fast shipping, and a 30-day return policy. They also offer free resizing and ring engraving, which are great options for those looking for a more personalized experience.

Conclusion

Purchasing a diamond is a meaningful and significant decision, and by understanding the 4 Cs, certification, pricing, and choosing the right retailer, you can make an informed and confident purchase. Whether you opt for a traditional jeweler or an online retailer like Blue Nile Diamond, ensuring the quality and value of your diamond will help you make the perfect selection. Always prioritize quality and authenticity to ensure that your investment will be treasured for years to come.

Subtle and Elegant Split Shank Ring Ideal for Contemporary Brides

Your engagement ring is a significant investment you will ever make. Therefore, you must seek out diamond rings in Sugar Land that feel as distinct as your love. Whether you desire something understated or completely frosted with diamonds, a split shank ring is the perfect choice.

This band divides and surrounds the diamond center stone providing a special detail. Your split shank ring is extremely versatile. It pairs well with all the stones and settings so you can pick something to suit your style requirements.

Why you'll love split shank rings

One of the primary reasons why many brides like split-shank rings is that it usually has a French set or micropave diamonds that lead to the halo you can even include smaller diamonds in the parting at the top to make your ring sparkle more.

Your jewelry store in Sugar Land will inform you that when you are designing a split-shank ring, be sure to spend a great amount of time and effort in locating a good jeweler.

Your engagement ring is a general representation of love. So, you must treat it like a family heirloom as well as personalize it to you and your partner.

A watch repair in Richmond, TX will inform you that a split-shank ring has a gap visible between the hand and diamond center stone. This provides a more decorative and sophisticated setting.

Because all settings are compatible with this type of engagement ring, what you desire is really important to determine. If the ring features a larger diamond such as a princess or Asscher-cut, the band must be larger to fit the stone.

Though white diamonds are very popular, you can also experiment with colored stones such as rubies, diamonds, and sapphires that will give your ring a splash of color along with being very budget-friendly.

In Summary

Just as with any style, ensure that your stone is free from any minute imperfections and inclusions since this can decrease the value and brilliance of your stone. Ensure that you visit a trusted and reliable jewelry store that can provide you with a variety of high-quality pieces at an affordable price.

Take your ring every few months to a professional jeweler to clean, repair, and maintain it so that it remains new and shiny for years to come.
