Duty or Desire // Jon Snow // Robb Stark

44. Ravens

'We have sent dozens of ravens none of them have returned... My bastard is only a few days away from Winterfell once he captures-'

'Theon has my brothers what happens if we storm the castle?' Robb questioned

'He would not dare hurt the boys, they are his only hope at escaping the north as is.'

'Send word to your son.' Robb said 'any iron born who surrenders will be allowed to return safely to their homes.' Still the picture of grace and kindness, Odie thought as Robb commanded with mercy.

'A touch of mercy is a virtue your grace too much-'

'Any iron born with the exception of Theon Greyjoy.' Robb clarified 'he betrayed us of course he betrayed me and we will hunt him down no matter where he runs.'

'I expect his countrymen will turn on him if given the offer.'

'How are you doing my dear?" Odie said coming up to him hug him tight

'How am I doing?' he murmured resting his chin on her head, 'my mother set Jamie Lannister free the crown still has my sisters my closest friend has siege to my home and taking my brothers and I am fighting a war and I don't know if I should ride south or north.' Robb said exasperated. 'I'm so mad Odetta I'm so mad.'

'You have every right to be.'

'I don't want to be a cruel and vicious king.' he told her

'no you won't be.' she assured him. 'What kind of King do you want to be my love?'

'I don't know.' Robb admitted her honestly holding her face in his hands, 'the good kind perhaps.' She smiled up at him. 'Most kings grew up as princes they spent their whole lives preparing for a crown I was raised to be lord of Winterfell.' Robb reminded her.

'I was raised with a sword in my hand I never thought anyone would ever call me your Grace.' Odetta reminded him. 'I never saw myself as someone that anyone looked up to because I was always looking up to my brother but now I look up to you I see you doing such good work.' Odie coed in his ear, 'the people love you they respect you are loyal to you.' Odie told him.

'And now here we are.' Rob said

'Here we are.' she agreed, 'lay down.' Odie instructed peeling off his shirt. 'on your stomach.' He lay flat before her. slowly she moved her hands up and down his back.

'that feels really nice.' He moaned. She rubbed at his shoulder kneading the tense muscles, placing slow kisses along his back at she went. 'Mmmm,' Robb moaned before flipped around and pulling her to him.

Odie tried to control her movements, but her hips were lifting on their own accord. He gently bit the soft curve of her stomach and she bucked again.

"You are perfect, Odetta. Every fucking inch of you," he kissed Odie's hip bones, and she realized that loud moans were coming from her mouth. She wanted him desperately.

"Please," she whispered. He sank down on her, relishing the fullness that engulfed her when Robb was inside of me. Grabbing his back pulling him down to her. The sounds of their lovemaking were filling the tent.
