The wedding of Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen is turning out to be exhausting and a little overwhelming. It’s been built up for months as the event of the year in King’s Landing, extravagant and scandalous, which describes the family rather well.

Every room in the Red Keep has been booked to accommodate the city’s elite. It’s a beautiful venue, an ancient redbrick castle overlooking the bay, once a home for royalty, now the flagship of a chain of luxury hotels, and the crowning jewel in the Targaryen empire.

She glances around the ballroom where the guests are mingling while they wait for the arrival of the newlyweds. It doesn’t take her long to spot her mother, martini in hand, making smalltalk with Corlys Velaryon, who just happens to own the largest shipping company this side of the Narrow Sea. Alys Rivers is nothing if not efficient.

They had been surprised to receive an invitation at all, but then Rhaenyra has always valued appearances above everything else. They had hardly heard from her since Harwin’s funeral, and even then it was funny half-smiles and overcompensating niceties to gloss over the obvious pain in her eyes. That’s the thing about Rhaenyra, you can never really tell what she’s thinking.

She looked other-wordly floating down the aisle in a white satin and lace gown. Her father, Viserys, CEO of Targ Corp and patriarch of the Targaryen dynasty, walked beside her. Maybe it was the lighting in the Sept or the red and black suit, but he looked pale, and his eyes were heavy and tired. Rhaenyra’s step-daughters, Baela and Rhaena, trailed behind them in matching maroon dresses, while the three Strong boys lined up beside Daemon at the altar. A picture perfect family.

She tried not to judge Rhaenyra too harshly for wearing white– damn purity culture and the misogyny that comes with it, but she couldn’t help but think how she preferred the vintage cocktail dress she wore when she married Harwin.

She’d been too young to remember that wedding, but she’d seen the photos enough times. There was one she especially loved, of the bride and groom on the front lawn of Dragonstone, smiling to each other like they had a secret (turns out they did when Jace was born eight months later), while she and Helaena stood in front of them. Their faces were round and chubby, scrunched into the confused frown toddlers make when they’re made to wear pale pink dresses and carry round baskets of rose petals.

Alys fell out with her parents in her mid teens. She always said it was her uncle Lyonel who was there for her, who saw her through to adulthood, who offered her a room when a shitty ex-boyfriend left her with no money and a positive pregnancy test when she was twenty-two. And having no siblings, she said Harwin was more like a brother to her than a cousin.

Losing one of them would have been hard enough, but losing both had been devastating. In a lot of ways it still is.

“Harwin was so dear to us all,” was all Rhaenyra had said to them on the day of the funeral. So dear it took her just over a year to marry her own uncle.

Not that she’s in much of a position to judge.

A large, gentle hand settles on her back and Aemond hands her a flute of champagne. “Beautiful, isn’t it?”

He means the ballroom. Gold paints the vaulted ceiling and trails down the walls, the pillars and the archways, as sunset bleeds in through the windows.

“Wouldn’t expect anything less,” she says, trying to hide a grin.

They’ve managed to avoid each other all day until now. He sat with his siblings at the ceremony, while she and Alys were on a bench at the back of the Sept.

She allows herself a better look at Aemond’s suit; midnight blue, with a subtle floral pattern that would be easy to miss if her eyes were only skimming over it, and a baby blue tie that matches his eyes perfectly. He’s cropped his hair for the occasion too, it’s shorter at the sides but still long enough at the top to run her fingers through, to tug on. He looks beautiful. He always looks beautiful.

His hand stays in place against her back, unassuming but just firm enough to keep her on edge as he leads her further into the hall. “The decor was inspired by Versailles, but the hall itself dates back to the original Keep. You’re into this sort of stuff, aren’t you?”

She doesn’t know why he needs to ask. At this point he knows better than anyone what she’s ‘into’.

“This used to be the throne room,” she says, nodding to the platform at the end of the hall. “Imagine, the Iron Throne used to sit there and now it’s a stage for fucking a jazz band.”

The corners of his mouth curl into a reserved smile that makes her heart hum. Aemond is rarely one for obnoxious laughter, but then every time she can make him smile it feels like a little victory. It hurts a little too.

They settle at the edge of the room and his hand slips away, but he makes up for it when he leans into her, close enough that she can smell the dark, almost boozy scent of his perfume on his neck. “How are you doing, by the way?”

It’s a question she’s avoided asking herself. She spots Jace, Luke and Joff across the room, sitting down at a table with Aegon, Daeron and another guy she doesn’t recognise. They look happier than she feels, and suddenly she feels ridiculous for wallowing in her own self pity.

She shrugs. “Alright I think.”

Aemond’s face is somewhere between a frown and amusement, the face that means I can see right through you.

She shifts on her feet, looking for something else to focus on.

Larys Strong, she notices, is standing by the bar. They had run into him at the Sept, and though they’d definitely made eye contact, he made no attempt at conversation. He keeps his head low, only looking up to glare at Alys.

“Gods that man’s pathetic,” Aemond mutters, following her line of sight. “Not still upset about Harrenhal, is he?”

“Considering mum took half his clients when she left, I’d say yes. He’s always been good at holding grudges, creepy uncle Larys.” Harwin’s brother, director of what used to be King’s Landing’s most successful PR firm, recently overtaken by Rivers PR.

“Shouldn’t that be ‘creepy second cousin Larys’?” Aemond says with a little smirk.

“My version has better ring to it, rolls off the tongue easier.”

A hand suddenly slaps her shoulder and she nearly drops her glass. Aemond quickly takes it from her as Viserys Targaryen pulls her into a stiff embrace and makes a grand exclamation about love and family that she forgets to pay attention to.

She’s a little bewildered but manages to smile. “Good to see you again, Mr Targaryen,” she says. As she pulls away she catches the eye of the woman standing over his shoulder. Alicent Hightower has donned her usual shade of dark green in a velvet dress that compliments her auburn hair and elaborate gold jewellery perfectly. She has a particularly sour look on her face this evening.

“How are you, love?” Viserys asks. “Doing well I hope?”

A thousand thoughts flood her head, but she can already see the interest dying in his eyes. So she just nods.

“How is school, you’re still at school, aren’t you?”

“She’s at the university, dear” Alicent corrects him, “final year, yes?” Her lips thin as her eyes finally spares a glance for her son. “Two years behind Aemond.”

Mother and son exchange a vacant look.

“Yes,” she says, making her best attempt at Alys’ networking voice, “I study History–”

“Excellent! Well wonderful to catch up, and good to see you too, son.”

Aemond nods in acknowledgement as his parents move away to offer a similarly shallow greeting to the next group of guests. His breath tickles over her neck as he sighs. At least Rhaenyra tries to act friendly.

“I’m sorry–” she blurts it out, not really sure why she assumes it’s her fault.

He smiles. “You have nothing to be sorry for.”

There’s an uneasy feeling of guilt settling in her stomach. She knew Aemond wasn’t on the best of terms with his parents, but she hadn’t realised it had gotten to a point where they would hardly even look at him.

Her fingertips brush over his as he hands her back the glass.

She watches his eyes as they start to skim over her lavender summer dress, the thin straps running over her shoulders, the dainty gold necklace on her neck and the gathering of silky fabric at her bust.

“You look lovely by the way,” he says.

For a moment she forgets how to breathe. Maybe she should be used to his compliments and praises by now, but it still makes her nervous. “For a lovely occasion,” she says, taking a tentative sip.

“Hmm.”

“Not a fan of weddings?”

“Not overly fond. This…” he briefly sweeps his gaze around the room, at the endless arrangements of orchids and roses, the crystal centrepieces on the tables and the perfect smiles that are just a little too forced. “It’s all very pretentious.”

“I would have thought you like that, all the pomp and ceremony.”

He huffs a laugh as he takes her glass and casually brings it to his lips. “Call it a combination of circumstances.” He keeps his eyes on her as he tips the glass back.

She does the same, admiring the sharp features of his face, his jaw, his chin, his neck and the way it bobs when he swallows.

He “tsks” at the dryness of the champagne and hands her back the glass. “Things with my family have never been straightforward.”

But even less so over the last year, she imagines. For most of her life, the Targaryens existed at a distance. She and Alys used to see more of the Strongs– Harwin, Rhaenyra and the boys– for birthdays, the occasional family dinner and that summer they joined them at Dragonstone. But that was before things really started to get messy, before the lawsuits and the infighting.

None of it is helped by the fact that Viserys and Alicent despise Alys. They think she’s an opportunist, desperate for some profitable connections, stealing away their golden boy. She knows her mother better than that. Alys is less of an opportunist, more of a pragmatist, and to her credit she doesn’t pretend to be oblivious to the benefits of dating the son of the wealthiest man in Westeros.

She likes to think Aemond’s more than that though. A little less entitled than Rhaenyra, and certainly more motivated than Aegon, but brilliant in his own ways. He has a first class degree in International Relations from the University of Oldtown, a quiet but mysterious public persona, with a Hightower work ethic and an understated confidence, usually wrapped up in a Prada suit or a vintage leather jacket.

She finishes her drink before she asks, “have you spoken to Jace and Luke yet?”

His face darkens. Another point of conflict. Aemond had a falling out with the Strong boys when they were kids, something to do with inappropriate use of a kitchen knife on Luke’s part, resulting in the scar slicing down the left side of Aemond’s face. By some miracle it managed to spare his eye.

“Might be worth saying ‘hello’ at least?” She suggests.

He glances over at their table with his lips pressed together, rubbing his thumb over his index finger.

Before she knows it her hand is on his bicep, stroking her thumb over the fabric of his suit. It’s her usual reaction when she notices he’s anxious.

His eyes meet hers. His nostrils flare as he takes a deep inhale. “Maybe later,” he mutters.

A rush of cheers and applause announces the arrival of the bride and groom. Rhaenyra has changed from the elaborate gown she wore to the Sept to a black slip dress, with rows and rows of diamonds dripping from her neck. They make their way to the high table and the guests begin to settle at the round tables around the hall. She doesn’t look back to Aemond before she heads for Jace and the others.

Jace is in his first year at KLU studying politics. It’s a small campus and she often sees him hanging around the humanities block or in the library. Understandably he’s not been himself these last few months.

“Alright?” he says brightly, pulling her into the first genuine hug she’s received all day.

“Yeah,” she sighs. “You?”

“Yeah.”

“Sure?”

Jace seemed so much younger a year ago. All three of the Strongs seem to have grown up far too quickly. “It’s just been… things have changed so quickly.” He runs his fingers through his dark curls, grown down to his shoulders, she notices. “I just miss him, you know?”

She offers him a bittersweet smile. “Yeah, of course.”

“But Daemon’s great. He makes mum happy. That’s what matters most.”

She sits between Aegon and the other guy at the table and realises she vaguely recognises him. He looks older than Jace, with dark hair, surprisingly sleek stubble and silver direwolf cufflinks on his sleeves.

The dinner is infuriatingly exquisite; seared tuna, steak that almost melts in her mouth, followed by a raspberry and rose pastry and a lemon posset topped with purple primrose petals. It’s all pretentious and so very Targaryen.

Her eyes keep wandering. There’s a haunting kind of beauty about watching Daemon and Rhaenyra. They keep their fingers intertwined and share smug, knowing glances. They fit perfectly together, despite the taboo of it all.

Alys and Aemond are at a table with the Velaryons and Aemond’s sister, Helaena and her girlfriend. Alys keeps a hand over Aemond’s as she talks to Rhaenys and Corlys about some (no doubt dull) business venture, but she’ll make it sound brilliant. Her skills of persuasion are second to none.

She had half expected Aemond to follow her, but that was a stupid expectation, wasn’t it? She’s enough to fuck behind closed doors, not enough to sit beside at a wedding dinner.

She needs to stop getting her hopes up. She needs to stop looking for more from him because she’s only setting herself up for failure. But that’s just the problem, she wants to cling to every look, every hand against her back, every whisper in her ear, and convince herself that, whatever this is, that it’s for something more than just carnal desire.

She often finds herself wondering if Alys really loves Aemond. It started off as a casual thing, from what she could gather without wanting to know the details. Alys would go on these overnight ‘work trips’, which she suspected were really dates.

Her suspicions were confirmed when she came downstairs one morning to find Aemond Targaryen in the kitchen, leaning over the island and sipping an espresso. That was after his last fight with Alicent and Viserys. He had been planning to retreat to Aegon’s, but ended up spending the night with Alys instead.

She watches Aemond, running a slender finger over his fork, his eyes moving sceptically around the room, until they settle on her.

He smirks, and then he turns to strike up a conversation with his sister.

Alys certainly likes him enough to get him involved in Rivers PR, to let him live in their house and sleep in her bed.

What does he get out of it, she wonders?

“Got your eye on someone?”

The unfamiliar voice snaps her out of her trance. The boy with black hair is leaning into her.

She glances down at his cufflinks. “Stark?” She guesses.

“Cregan. My dad’s an old mate of Viserys’.”

He’s a politics student too, a classmate of Jace’s and captain of the KLU rugby team with the muscles to prove it. She recognises him a little better as they talk; he was at Baela’s Halloween party last year, though they hadn’t spoken then.

Jace shoots her a quick wink from across the table and inclines his head ever so slightly towards Cregan. She swears under her breath and rolls her eyes at him. Gods, as if she needs help from her cousin to get laid.

It’s Aegon who starts ordering rounds of shots. She tries to stick to champagne at first, until she looks across the room again. Aemond leans into Alys, as though he might kiss her, but she turns her head and his lips settle on her cheek.

After seeing that, she reaches for the tequila, met with cheering from Aegon and Daeron.

Daemon and Rhaenyra take to the floor and sway to a dreamy number played by the jazz band. Rhaenyra soon takes Helaena by the hand and Daemon grabs his girls to join them on the dancefloor.

She smiles as she watches them all, Rhaenyra and Helaena spinning around each other, Baela and Rhaena giggling at Daemon’s smooth moves that come straight from a 50s movie.

“I feel like we should go up,” Jace says.

Luke starts to groan but Joffrey is already up and dragging his brothers with him.

Aegon turns to her in his seat. The oldest of the Targaryen Hightower siblings and undisputedly the messiest, but she had found him the most approachable that Summer at Dragonstone. “What do you say, kid?”

How could she say no to that sly, self-assured grin and those puppy dog eyes? They’re a little duller than Aemond’s, closer to grey than blue. She lets him lead her to the dance floor.

As she and Aegon sway to the charming brass and bass, she wonders if Aemond is watching them. She doesn’t want to give him the satisfaction of checking. Not just yet.

Aegon leans into her ear. She ignores the sour, bitter smell of alcohol on his breath. “How is Aemond?”

It takes her off guard. She finds herself a little perplexed, eyebrows raised and lips parted as she tries to think of an answer that won’t seem suspicious.

But having to think about it at all must be incriminating.

Does Aegon know? If he did know, why would he want to bring it up?

“Good, as far as I’m aware.”

Her internal crisis seems to evade his attention. His eyes move between the space over her shoulder and the floor as he gnaws slightly on his lip. “Look, I know this isn’t your problem, but I just worry about him.”

Aegon Targaryen, worried about his brother?

“He said things were difficult lately.”

“Gods yeah, things have been tense with dad trying to sort out his will. Mum and Rhaenyra have been at each other’s throats, then there’s granddad trying to get something out of it all. It’s a fucking mess.”

Realistically she doesn’t know him that well, but between their few interactions and what she’s heard from Jace and Luke, Aegon is easy to understand. It’s strange seeing him so concerned, about anything really.

He sighs heavily. “Then Aemond went and completely fucked up a contract with Storm’s End and mum was livid.”

“That’s it? They fell out over a work issue?”

“She needed it. She’s really pushing for Aemond to take over from dad, because Gods know once Rhaenyra’s in charge she’s not letting the Hightowers get a fucking look in.”

“What about you?”

“Me? I’m the designated disaster child, no one expects anything from me. Aemond’s always been perfect. And now he isn’t.”

It would explain the dramatics of it all.

“Are they happy? Him and Alys?”

She’s not sure how she should know, or what the criteria for ‘happy’ would even be.

“They must be. I don’t see why he would stick around otherwise.”

Aegon’s lips flash into a crooked smile that disappears as quickly as it comes. “I think he wanted to get out. I said he could come live with me, hells, he could afford his own place.”

“So why doesn’t he? Get his own place, I mean.”

“He likes the distraction, something to get him away from Targ Corp, and the rest of us, I suppose. I think he needed an escape.”

The pace of the music picks up in a flourish and Aegon spins her under his arm. Aemond is looking at them.

At some point in the night, the band is swapped for a playlist of songs everyone knows the words to, and closer to midnight the hall becomes a haze of thumping bass and sparse bursts of red and green lights. She loses count of the number of cocktails she’s had, all she knows is her mind is buzzing blissfully. She feels happy and careless, but one drink away from a nasty hangover in the morning.

Aemond is still at his table, sipping a glass of what she guesses is whisky. He loves an old fashioned, if they’re out for dinner or if he makes it himself at home. He talks to Rhaenys and Corlys, and has a brief exchange with Daemon and Rhaenyra when they come over to him, but other than that he just sits and watches her.

She’s not sure how she ended up dancing with Cregan. He wraps a large, muscular arm around her waist and holds her close against him.

He brings his lips to the shell of her ear, shamelessly letting them brush against her skin. It feels nice. “Sure you’ve not got your eye on anyone?”

She smiles even though he can’t see her face. “Why is it important?”

“I’m trying to figure out what my chances are here,” he says as his mouth moves along her cheek.

She giggles as she pulls away from him. “You’re lovely,” she says.

“But?”

A hand lands firm on her shoulder. She recognises his perfume and a cool steel ring against her skin.

She turns into Aemond and puts her hands on his chest. “Are you going to dance with me?”

Aemond holds her wrists and leans into her so that she can hear him over the music. “I think you look tired.”

“I don’t feel tired. Where’s Alys?”

He cocks an eyebrow like he’s irritated she would ask. “She went to bed an hour ago.” Then his mouth curls into a smug pout. “Do you want me to take you upstairs?”

He starts to stroke his thumbs over her hands and his eyes, though hard to make out through the darkness, are fixed on hers. She can’t quite catch her breath. “Yeah, I do.”

They don’t speak as they head up. Her room is on the third floor, and they could take the lift but a few other guests have had the same idea. Quicker and quieter to take the stairs.

Occasionally her hand brushes against the sleeve of his suit but he doesn’t react. She listens to his breath, heavy and pointed, and imagines he might want to say something but keeps deciding against it.

They reach the hall on the third floor, lined with mahogany panelling, vintage gold lamp shades mounted on the walls and patterns of dragons swirling in the red carpet. It’s empty, so she weaves her arm through his.

Aemond holds her arm tight. “Had a nice time?”

It was nice to see her Strong cousins. It was nice to chat to Baela, and get to know Rhaena a little better. It was nice to dance with Cregan and to know Aegon cares about his brother.

“Yeah,” she sighs, letting her head drop against his shoulder. “You?”

Aemond starts to tell her about a conversation he had with Corlys about some new customs regulations that could screw over his company. She likes to watch him when he’s explaining something, how he moves his hand around, how he tilts his chin up and presses his lips together when he’s thinking.

When they come to her door she drags herself away from him and swipes her keycard over the lock. The door is heavy and Aemond reaches over her to prop it open as he follows her inside.

He switches on the low lights and hovers by the door to the ensuite, muttering about tariffs while she slips off her heels and places her jewellery on the vanity.

He looks deliciously casual and self-assured, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, the warm lights dancing over his cheekbones and the shape of his nose. “...they just can’t compete with the Triarchy, not to mention the extra costs…”

His eyes drift to where she stands. They stare at each other for a moment. The silence is screaming at her.

“Who was the guy you were dancing with?” He asks.

“Friend of Jace’s. He studies politics.”

Aemond hums and smiles to himself. “Looked like the two of you were getting on very well.”

She could point out his poorly placed frustration and that their entire involvement revolves around someone else.

“Is that why you came over?”

He’s still smiling but there’s an intensity to his stare. He puffs his chest a little as he takes a slow breath. He taps his fingers three times against the wall. “Did you like him?”

Restraint is one of Aemond’s most defining traits, she thinks, everything about him is meticulously planned, and every decision is a considered one. Restraint is also his downfall in some cases. He rarely raises his voice or gives into his impulses, but he tries too hard to hold back and craft his perfect image. It excites her whenever she sees the cracks and inconsistencies in him. They feel sacred, another secret she gets to keep.

She takes a few slow steps towards him, until she can smell his perfume again. “I might have done.”

“Might,” he echoes. “If it weren’t for what?”

She tilts her head. His eyes are soft and his lips are parted. She holds the scarred side of his face in her hand and kisses him. She intends it to be slow and reassuring but it’s too easy to get lost in him. She presses herself into him and caresses the back of his neck and she deepens the kiss.

Until his other hand cups her head, lightly pushing her away. “I should go back to the party,” he whispers.

“Why?”

He takes a breath through his nose.

“Stay with me for a little while,” she says, nudging her forehead against his. “I need you.”

His face starts to light up, a familiar playfulness in the curl of his mouth. “Need me?”

She trails her fingertips down his shirt, tracing over his chest and the ridges of his abs, dangerously close to his belt. “Aemond, please.”

He walks forward and she stumbles with him until her back is against the opposite wall. He grips her chin between his fingers, forcing her to look up at him. “Try again, sweetheart.” His voice is low and it makes her feel weightless.

“Please, daddy,” she whispers.

He half growls a “hmm” before he pulls her into him to claim her mouth. His kiss is firm, slow and hungry. She was right about the whisky. She can taste it on his tongue and feel it tingling on her lips.

His knee slides under her dress, between her thighs, and pushes up. She gasps at the pressure and starts to rut her hips against him.

“You’re so eager,” he hisses, “what a desperate little slut I’ve made out of you.”

His hands slip under her thighs to carry her to the edge of the bed. He’s careful as he draws her dress over her head and lays it out over the armchair by the window.

He leans over her, laying her down, working lips, tongue and hands over every inch of her bare body. He starts by kissing her neck, sucking at the soft spot that always makes her melt. His hands run over her collar to her breasts, kneading and pinching her nipples between his fingers. Then he goes lower, planting a trail of kisses down the valley that leads to her waist and her stomach. Usually he likes to drag this out, treat her to divine torture until she had to beg, but tonight he is urgent, no less desperate than she is.

His hands run down her thighs, skimming one moment and squeezing the next. And then she feels his lips against her panties.

“Oh you do need me, don’t you?” He teases. “You’re already so wet for me, baby.”

She writhes against his mouth, desperate for just a little more friction. “Oh fuck, please, daddy, just–”

“Not yet.” He stands over her, slips off his suit jacket and starts to roll the sleeves of his shirt, exposing the pale skin of his forearms. “I’m going to take care of this pretty pussy, but first you’re going to tell me why the fuck you thought you could flirt with Stark, right in front of me.”

She gazes up at him. His expression is stern and intense, and she finds it thrilling.

He pulls her to her feet and takes her place sitting at the edge of the bed, running his hands over the silky fabric covering his thighs.

“Come here,” he orders, taking her hand and guiding her to drape herself over his lap. She can feel the bulge in his pants pressing into her stomach.

He’s gentle at first, stroking his palm over her ass, toying with different pressures and patterns.

The first slap is gentle.

“How many– ah!”

The second slap is harsher and she groans at the sting it leaves behind.

“You’re gonna take what I give you,” he says, stroking softly again while his other hand rests on her neck. “We’re done when I say we’re done.” Slap. “Understood?”

“Fuck!” She gasps, “yes, daddy.”

“Hmm, that’s my good little girl,” he says, running his other hand through her hair. It’s comforting, lulling her into compliance. “Now, have you got an answer for me?”

“I wasn’t trying to flirt,” she utters.

Her answer is met with a few succinct blows. She doesn’t care to count them. She breathes through it, focusing on the burn and controlling her reactions to it. She tries to keep her hips still, but she can feel her pussy throbbing and her arousal dripping between her legs.

“Don’t play dumb with me,” Aemond warns. “You’re smarter than that, baby, I know you are.”

He switches between tenderness and pain so easily. Every time she feels his hand against her flushed skin her belly tightens and she starts to shiver, never quite sure what to expect.

“Do you know what I think?” He asks, slipping finger underneath her panties, circling through the wetness and the sensitive flesh of her pussy. “I think you’re just a needy little whore, desperate for my attention. But it’s okay baby, I know you can’t help it, right?”

She can’t help the broken whimper that escapes her throat as he inches closer to where she needs him most, or the cry that comes when he withdraws his touch delivers another stinging slap.

“Shh, baby,” Aemond coos, “I know it hurts but I need you to know you’re mine,” a point he emphasises with another few strikes that have her squealing and squirming over his lap.

“I’m yours,” she mewls.

Slap. “Say it again.”

“I’m yours, daddy!” She cries, “only yours.”

He strokes his palm over her again and she grips the duvet, expecting another slap. Instead, he curls his fingers over the hem of her panties and slowly drags them down over her thighs. “I’m going to take care of you, baby,” he says, planting a kiss at the base of her neck, “just like I always do.”

Unable to form a response, she nods absentmindedly. The anticipation is driving her crazy but she trusts him completely.

He positions her with her back on the bed again, and kneels before her. He kisses along her thighs, groaning with satisfaction at her little whimpers and moans.

He leans in and kisses her pussy as sweetly and delicately as he would her cheek, letting his lips linger against her. “I’ve been thinking about you all fucking day,” he says, teasing her with gentle pecks and licks while his hands knead at her thighs. “You looked so pretty in your little dress, I couldn’t wait to take it off and have you laid out for me, just like this.”

She runs her hands through his hair as he deepens his movements, that delicious feeling rising and rising as he draws his tongue from her entrance, up to tease her clit, and back down again.

He slides a single finger in, letting out a soft groan at her slick and the sound it makes as he inches further in.

Her hips buck when he starts to flick his tongue over her clit, met by the weight of his hand against her stomach to hold her in place.

“Just relax, sweetheart, be a good girl for me, that’s it.”

Her eyes start to glaze over as her orgasm builds slowly. Agonisingly slowly. She stills her hips, fighting the urge to grind against his mouth. She’s left panting and groaning, desperate for more but she has to be good for him.

“Daddy,” she chokes, feeling a single tear stream down her temple. “Please… please…” she whimpers as she feels herself hurtling closer and closer to the edge. Just a little more and she’ll fall apart.

“There you go,” he hums, pushing deeper and working his tongue faster. “I want you to cum, baby, want you to finish all over my mouth.”

Finally she comes with a stuttering moan, back arched and pleasure rippling through her body, leaving her pleasantly numb in the afterglow.

Aemond presses a sweet kiss against her quivering cunt, trailing back up her body, coming to nuzzle into her neck.

“You alright?” He whispers. “I’m not being too harsh, am I?”

She turns her head to look at him. His eyes are so bright and his breath washes over her skin. He’s still wearing his shirt. She wants to tear it off him, feel every inch of him with no barriers or modesty.

It just slips out, mindless and simple, like a breath or a heartbeat. “I love you.”

He looks at her, wide-eyed and vague. She leans up to kiss him and he pulls away.

Then he comes to his feet, looming over the bed. He wipes his hand over his mouth and drags it over his chin.

She’s sure her heart has stopped beating. Why is he staring at her? Why hasn’t he said anything?

“I should…” His eyes dart around the room, to his suit jacket discarded on the floor. Then back to her, trembling, breathless and bare.

She props herself up onto her elbows, drawing her legs together. She’s never felt ashamed of herself in front of him before.

“Aemond?”

Suddenly he snaps out of whatever trance he’s been under.

“Night,” he mumbles, disappearing around the corner of the ensuite. The door opens. The door clicks shut.

Her hands shoot up to her hair, tugging and gripping, if only to have something to do with her hands. When it gets too painful she smooths her hands over her neck. Her pulse drums under her skin and beads of sweat trail down her back.

What the fuck was that?

Photo

Mrsdeadlynightshade submitted this beautiful 1908 Victorian in Eureka, California that is currently a residence, B&B, and wedding venue. It has 5 bds and 2 baths, but there’s an additional residence on the property. $2M

Look at the lovely round porch.

Clearly, this is all original and practically untouched.

The rooms are gigantic- look at the opening between these 2 rooms.

This room is a library, game & music room for the guests.

The sitting room has a beautiful fireplace with a bright green & navy ceramic surround.

This would be what was called a smoking room, back then. Men would retire here after dinner with a brandy and a pipe.

Can you believe the size of that built-in cabinet in the dining room? Plus, it’s got a beautiful fireplace.

This kitchen is amazing. Look at the cabinetry and all the original features. There’s a sale pending on this house and if the new owners touch and remodel one sq. inch of this kitchen, we all go down there and make a citizen’s arrest.

Isn’t the pantry pretty? How the wood in this house shines.

A word to the new owner- don’t even THINK of remodeling this kitchen to move the sink and dishwasher to the other room.

Water closet toilet and a very vintage sink. Look at that window, too. Keep your mitts off this toilet, new owner- especially that vintage mirror.

These are some of the widest stairs I’ve seen.

Nice landing.

This must be the largest of the 5 bds and it has a great closet.

Look at this one- it has vintage cowboy wallpaper. There’s even a saddle.

Also a very large bd.

Look at that linen closet in the hall.

It says that there’re 2 baths, so this must be a closet w/a sink.

And this would be the full bath. Sooo original.

Office w/a great storage cabinet. There are so many built-ins and so much storage in this house. Look at the stairs hidden on the side.

They lead to a bedroom in a finished attic.

A door in the bd opens to this gigantic book collection.

They’re using the turret room as storage, but it’s intact and can be turned into something fabulous.

Looks like a distillery in the basement. Does this equipment convey?

Lots of property and it’s all fenced in.

There’s a 2nd home on the property and I don’t know if this is it, w/the foot bridge leading to it.

Or if it’s this home at the end of the yard. Anyway, this house is fantastic b/c you don’t see many that are this original.

Seamless Event Transfers: The Key to a Stress-Free Experience

Event transfers are an essential component of any well-planned event, ensuring smooth transportation for guests, participants, and key stakeholders. Whether it's a corporate event, wedding, concert, or conference, the importance of reliable, comfortable, and punctual transport cannot be overstated. This article delves into the significance of event transfers and why choosing the right service provider can make or break the success of an event.

Why Event Transfers Are Crucial

Transportation is often overlooked during event planning, but it's one of the critical factors that contribute to a guest’s overall experience. Event transfers streamline the logistics, ensuring that attendees arrive at the venue safely and on time. Here are some key reasons why event transfers are vital:

Timeliness: One of the top concerns for event planners is ensuring that guests arrive promptly. Whether it's for a wedding ceremony or an important business conference, late arrivals can disrupt the schedule and negatively impact the event's flow. A professional event transfer service guarantees timeliness, minimizing stress for both organizers and attendees.

Comfort and Convenience: The comfort of guests during transport is just as important as the event itself. Reliable event transfer services offer vehicles that are clean, comfortable, and fitted with amenities to ensure that everyone travels in style. For larger events, luxury buses, shuttles, and vans can be deployed to accommodate all guests efficiently, eliminating the need for personal travel arrangements.

Safety: Safety is a top priority, especially for large-scale events. Professional transfer companies have experienced drivers who are well-versed in local traffic patterns, road conditions, and best practices for passenger safety. Whether it’s driving through crowded city streets or navigating rural roads, guests can feel confident knowing they are in capable hands.

Coordination and Organization: Event transfers go beyond just transporting people from one location to another. Many service providers offer full coordination support, ensuring that everything from pickup times to return journeys is planned down to the last detail. This allows event organizers to focus on the event itself, rather than worrying about transportation logistics.

Environmental Impact: Offering a dedicated transfer service can also reduce the environmental footprint of your event. Encouraging guests to share transport instead of driving their own cars reduces traffic congestion and emissions. For eco-conscious events, some companies provide electric or hybrid vehicles, adding an extra layer of environmental responsibility.

Types of Event Transfers

There are several types of event transfers depending on the nature and size of the event. Understanding the options available can help planners choose the most suitable service.

Corporate Events: For corporate gatherings, punctuality, professionalism, and comfort are key. Executive sedans, luxury vans, and shuttle buses are often used to transport VIPs, employees, and guests between hotels, conference venues, and airports.

Weddings: Wedding transfers are about more than just getting from point A to point B. They add an extra touch of elegance to the event. Vintage cars, limousines, and even horse-drawn carriages can be booked to make a grand entrance or exit for the bride and groom, while shuttle services ensure that guests travel comfortably between the ceremony, reception, and hotels.

Concerts and Festivals: For large-scale events such as concerts, festivals, or sporting events, mass transport solutions are necessary. Buses and coaches are ideal for moving large groups, helping to avoid traffic jams and parking issues. Event planners can also set up designated pickup points to streamline the process further.

Private Parties: For more intimate events like birthday parties, anniversaries, or smaller gatherings, event transfers can still play a crucial role in providing comfort and convenience. Guests can enjoy a hassle-free experience, knowing they won’t have to navigate unfamiliar routes or find parking.

Airport Transfers: For events that involve international or out-of-town guests, airport transfers are essential. Guests are greeted upon arrival and taken directly to their accommodation or event venue, ensuring a smooth transition.

Choosing the Right Event Transfer Service

When choosing an event transfer service, there are several factors to consider to ensure the transportation goes off without a hitch.

Experience and Reputation: Look for a company with a solid reputation in handling event transfers. Experience in managing the complexities of large events ensures that the service provider can handle unexpected challenges, such as last-minute schedule changes or traffic disruptions.

Fleet Diversity: A service provider with a diverse fleet can cater to different event needs. Whether it’s limousines for a wedding, buses for a festival, or executive cars for a corporate event, having multiple vehicle options allows for flexibility and customization.

Customer Service: Excellent customer service is essential for event transfers. The provider should offer a seamless booking process, clear communication, and responsive support throughout the event. Any issues that arise should be quickly and professionally addressed.

Technology Integration: In today’s digital age, many transfer companies offer apps or online portals that allow guests to track their ride, confirm pickup times, and communicate directly with drivers. This adds a layer of convenience and transparency to the service.

Conclusion

Event transfers are more than just transportation—they are an integral part of the event experience. By ensuring punctuality, comfort, and safety, a professional event transfer service enhances guest satisfaction and contributes to the overall success of the event. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate meeting, or festival, investing in a reliable transfer service can make all the difference.

Audio Guest Book: A Unique Touch to Your Event in Montreal

In the age of digital invitations, video calls, and social media, the classic guest book has taken on a new form — the audio guest book. This innovative approach to collecting memories is taking over Montreal’s event scene, offering a creative and personal way to capture messages from guests. Whether it’s for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, or special gatherings, the audio guest book adds a unique touch that resonates with everyone.

What is an Audio Guest Book?

An audio guest book is an interactive device, typically designed as a vintage telephone, that allows guests to leave personalized voice messages. It’s an upgrade from the traditional handwritten guest book, where guests would simply write their names and a quick note. With an audio guest book, people can speak directly into the device, sharing heartfelt messages, funny anecdotes, or best wishes in their own voices. The result is a collection of audio memories that you can listen to long after the event.

Why Audio Guest Books Are Gaining Popularity in Montreal

Montreal is known for its lively events, from weddings and anniversaries to corporate galas and festivals. In a city that thrives on creativity and culture, it’s no surprise that Audio Guest Book Montreal are becoming a favorite for event planners and hosts. Here are some reasons why they are making waves:

Personal Connection: Written words are special, but there’s something about hearing the voices of your loved ones that adds an extra layer of emotion. The audio guest book allows people to convey their feelings more authentically, capturing their tone, laughter, and spontaneity.

Nostalgic Aesthetic: The vintage telephone design is a major draw for Montrealers, adding a charming and nostalgic vibe to events. This touch of retro elegance complements the city’s love for blending the old with the new, creating an aesthetic that’s both classy and timeless.

Versatility: Whether you’re hosting an intimate wedding in Old Montreal or a large corporate event downtown, the audio guest book fits in seamlessly. It’s easy to set up, user-friendly, and adaptable to any event style. Plus, it can be placed anywhere — near the entrance for a warm welcome or by the dance floor for fun, spontaneous messages.

Memories You Can Revisit: One of the best features of the audio guest book is that it provides lasting memories. Instead of flipping through pages of signatures, you can listen to the voices of your friends and family whenever you want. These recordings become cherished keepsakes that you can revisit on anniversaries or special occasions.

How to Incorporate an Audio Guest Book at Your Event

If you’re planning an event in Montreal and want to add an audio guest book to the mix, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Choose the Right Provider: Several companies in Montreal offer Audio Guest Book Rental Laval, complete with the vintage phone setup and recording services. Make sure to choose a provider with good reviews and a quality system that ensures clear sound recordings.

Set the Scene: Make the audio guest book a focal point by decorating the area around it. A vintage table, flowers, or a sign inviting guests to leave a message can help draw attention to the setup. Consider placing it in a quieter area where guests can record their messages without too much background noise.

Encourage Guests: While some people might be shy about leaving a voice message, a little encouragement can go a long way. You could ask your MC to mention it during speeches or include a reminder in the event program.

The audio guest book is more than just a trend — it’s a creative and meaningful way to capture the voices and emotions of your guests in a format that lasts a lifetime. In a vibrant and culturally rich city like Montreal, where events are all about personal expression and connection, this innovative guest book is the perfect way to make your event unforgettable. Whether you're hosting a wedding, a milestone birthday, or a corporate celebration, the audio guest book is sure to leave a lasting impression on you and your guests.

Wedding Limo Service: Arrive in Style and Elegance on Your Big Day

Your wedding day is one of the most important milestones in your life. Every detail, from the venue to the floral arrangements, has been meticulously planned to create the perfect atmosphere. However, one aspect that can significantly enhance your wedding experience is the mode of transportation. A “wedding limo service” is not just a means of getting from one place to another; it's a statement of luxury, elegance, and sophistication. It sets the tone for your entire day and adds a touch of glamor that every bride and groom deserve.

Why a Wedding Limo Service Is a Must-Have

Opting for a “wedding limo service” goes beyond merely arriving at your venue; it ensures that your entrance is nothing short of spectacular. Here are some compelling reasons why you should consider booking a limo for your wedding.

1. Unmatched Elegance and Style

A limousine is the epitome of luxury. From its sleek exterior to its plush interior, everything about a limo exudes class and sophistication. Arriving in a limo ensures that you make a grand entrance, leaving your guests in awe. Whether you choose a classic stretch limousine or a modern SUV limo, your ride will complement your wedding theme and elevate the overall experience.

2. Stress-Free Transportation

On your wedding day, the last thing you want to worry about is transportation logistics. A professional “wedding limo service” provides you with a trained chauffeur who handles all the driving, allowing you to relax and enjoy the moment. Your chauffeur will ensure that you arrive at your destination on time, navigating through traffic and any unforeseen delays with ease.

3. Comfort and Luxury

Modern limousines are designed with the utmost comfort in mind. They feature spacious interiors, climate control, and state-of-the-art amenities that allow you and your wedding party to travel in comfort. Whether you want to sip champagne, listen to your favorite music, or simply relax, a limo provides the perfect setting.

4. Professional and Reliable Service

Wedding limo services are known for their professionalism. Chauffeurs are not just drivers; they are trained professionals who understand the importance of punctuality, discretion, and exceptional customer service. They go above and beyond to ensure that your experience is seamless and enjoyable.

5. Picture-Perfect Moments

A limousine is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos. Imagine the elegance of stepping out of a beautifully decorated limo with your wedding gown trailing behind you. These are the moments that will be captured in your wedding album and remembered for years to come.

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Limo

Selecting the right limousine for your wedding is crucial in ensuring that it aligns with your vision for the day. Here are some factors to consider when making your choice:

1. Size of Your Wedding Party

Before you book a limo, it’s important to know how many people will be riding with you. If you have a large bridal party, you might need a stretch limo or even a “party bus” to accommodate everyone comfortably. On the other hand, if it’s just you and your partner, a classic or vintage limo might be more appropriate.

2. Matching the Theme

Your wedding theme should guide your choice of limo. For a traditional wedding, a classic stretch limousine might be the perfect fit. If you’re having a modern or unconventional wedding, consider an SUV limo or a party bus. Matching the style of the limo to your wedding theme ensures a cohesive look throughout your day.

3. Budget Considerations

Setting a realistic budget for your transportation is essential. Wedding limo services can vary in price, so it’s important to explore your options and find a service that fits within your budget. Keep in mind that the price may depend on the type of limo, the duration of the rental, and any additional amenities you choose.

4. Desired Amenities

Modern limousines come equipped with a variety of amenities that can enhance your wedding day experience. From built-in bars and sound systems to LED lighting and entertainment options, consider what features are most important to you. If you plan on spending a significant amount of time in the limo, these amenities can make the ride even more enjoyable.

Popular Types of Wedding Limos

The variety of limos available means that there’s something to suit every couple’s style and needs. Here are some of the most popular options:

1. Classic Limousines

Timeless and elegant, classic limousines are a popular choice for traditional weddings. Their sleek design and luxurious interiors make them the perfect choice for couples looking to make a sophisticated entrance.

2. Stretch Limousines

Stretch limousines offer more space, making them ideal for larger bridal parties. They come equipped with various amenities, such as mini-bars, sound systems, and ambient lighting, ensuring that your journey is as enjoyable as the destination.

3. SUV Limousines

For couples who want a blend of comfort and style, SUV limousines are a great option. These vehicles are perfect for modern weddings and provide ample space without sacrificing luxury.

4. Party Buses

If you’re planning a lively celebration with your bridal party, a party bus might be the perfect choice. These buses are equipped with all the amenities needed for a fun ride, including sound systems, LED lighting, and plenty of space to dance and celebrate.

Tips for Booking Your Wedding Limo Service

Booking a wedding limo service requires careful planning and consideration. Here are some tips to ensure everything goes smoothly:

1. Book Early

Wedding limo services are often in high demand, especially during peak wedding season. To secure your preferred vehicle, it’s advisable to book several months in advance.

2. Research Providers

Not all limo services are created equal. Take the time to research different providers, read reviews, and ask for recommendations from friends or wedding planners. Look for a company with a solid reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction.

3. Compare Quotes

Don’t settle for the first quote you receive. Get estimates from multiple providers to compare prices and services. This will help you find the best value for your budget.

4. Clarify the Details

Make sure all details are discussed and agreed upon before signing the contract. This includes the pick-up and drop-off locations, times, and any special requests you may have.

5. Review the Contract

Before finalizing your booking, carefully review the contract to understand all the terms and conditions. Make sure everything is in writing, including the type of vehicle, the chauffeur’s duties, and the cancellation policy.

Elevate Your Wedding Day with a Limo Service

A “wedding limo service” offers more than just transportation; it provides a luxurious experience that adds to the joy and excitement of your special day. By selecting the right limo, you can enhance your wedding’s theme, ensure a smooth and stress-free ride, and create unforgettable memories. Whether you opt for a classic stretch limo, a modern SUV, or a party bus, arriving in style will set the tone for a wedding day that you and your guests will remember for years to come.
