Bleeding Ivory l Robb Stark

I am his

oanna was lying on Robb's chest listening to his beating heart. If she would focus long enough she could hear their hearts beating as one. So this is love, she thought. Loving someone so much that every fibre in her body was intertwined with his. Their hearts marching as one and even their breaths moving in perfect sync. Joanna never wanted the moment to end. She wanted to lay in his arms for the rest of her days and forever stare into his blue eyes.

His breath was relaxed as Joanna only stared at him. Her skin glowing for their eventful night. Never had she imagined on being so - intimate with anyone and now that she has she could not get enough of him. He was intoxicating. The smell, his voice even the ridiculous smirk he plastered on his face every time he'd smirk.

"I'm surprised to see you here. Figured you'd try and cover your tracks. " He laughed as he sat up, Joanna wrapping her legs around his strong torso as her fingers played with his chest hair

"No point in that my king. After last I think everyone is well aware of our current - situation." Joanna replied

"Not my fault you can't keep your voice down. If I remember it started to get louder when my hand -" Her breath hitched as she felt his hand move down between her thighs teasing her. Joanna biting her lip in temptation.

"Stop, it's daylight. I have to leave soon." She kissed his lip unafraid

"But you just said -"

"I know... but you're mother..." Joanna hesitated. Ever since arriving she could feel her relationship dwindle with Catelyn. She was grateful to Joanna who saved Bran but her suspicions of Joanna made her become more distant.

"Well she wouldn't have much to say if you were my wife." Robb confidentially boasted. Joanna laughed in hysteria - until she looked back to Robb to see the seriousness in his face.

"Wait - surely you don't mean..."

"I do - Joanna Lannister, marry me. " He took her hand as he kissed her bruised knuckles. Joanna bit her lip as she held her hands to his face bringing their bodies closer to one another

"Robb, I'm scared. I love you but -"

"Why can't that be enough. I love you Joanna and it hurts me too much to not be with you. To not have you as mine. " Joanna felt her heart swell. This was everything she'd always wanted but there were too many risks

"What about the Freys?" she nervously asked

"Fuck the Freys and fuck the agreement. I'll never love another like I do you. So I ask again - Joanna Lannister, eldest of Cersei and Jaime Lannister, the valiant lioness, marry me. Share my life with me and rule with me." Joanna bit her lip as she excitingly nodded her head. Her lips immediately impacting with his.

Nothing could ruin this day - nothing.

"Robb, before you begin." Catelyn begged as her son, Lord Karstark and Joanna entered her chambers.

"Catelyn why?" Joanna asked sympathetically hoping to be the voice of reason to simmer Robb's anger

"No, I want to know why the Kingslayer has been released." He spoke with true hatred in his voice. Joanna took hold of his hand. Catelyn felt ashamed - not for them but the fact that she caused so much burden to him. She couldn't bear look Robb in the eyes but she had to

"For the girls."

"You betrayed me." he quickly replied with disappointment in his voice

"Robb-"
