Falling for a Targaryen (House of the Dragon Fanfic)

A Suprise Visitor (Rhaenyra)

The knight comes to me with news of my uncles arrival. I could not hurry to follow fast enough. Arriving at the doors blocking Daemon from my view.

"Does my father know he's here?"

"No"

The answer was music to my ears. My uncle may be my favorite person in the seven kingdoms. His rough demeanor only countered by his sweet words and genuine smile.

The doors open and his figure is sprawled over the Throne.

"By the grace of the Gods" the knight behind me exclaims at the sight.

"It's alright" I proclaim striding into the room.

The doors behind close and I look at my uncle brooding in the chair. We speak to each other in Valerian as I watch his face and and body.

When he stands a fire starts in my belly and for the first time I look at my uncle with a burning desire.

"I brought you something Rhenera" he's voice rings making my heart skip. I wanted so badly to give into my childish desires but I restrain my self as to not alert him to my wants.

The necklace he presented me with was gorgeous. I was at a loss for words. I did not deserve such spoils from the man in front of me.

"Do you know what it is?"  He asked his voice deeper than before.

"It's valerian steel like dark sister" I state before he pulls the dark peice from my hand.

I gaze at him and try to hide the desperation on my face.

"Turn around" he orders and I do pulling my hair to the side.

When I feel the necklace lay on my chest the fire in my pit grows hotter bringing my cheeks to a light glow. I long for his touch and wish for his hands to replace the cold steal around my neck.

"Now" he says as he pulls the necklace to place "you and I both have a small peice of our ancestery."

His words make me tremble. His hands rest on my neck as he finishes the latch leaving a cold space when he removes them from my body.

I turn to face him and stand there staring at him, touching the gem above my breast, and fighting every muscle in my body to stay there instead of leaping to taste his lips.

I want him. Here and now. But he would be quick to cast me away like the child I am.

"Beautiful" he declares in Valerian bringing the heat in my belly to its peak. If he reached out to touch me I may explode.

He smiles at me before taking leave. Alone in the Throne room I fall to my knees giving in to the weakness he caused me.

A small tear falls from my eye as I wonder if he'd ever look at me the same.

I retreat to my room alone with my thoughts.
