Out of the woods // Ned Stark

18. Filled Up

'I'm sorry my Lord we are filled up every room.'

'My men can sleep in the stable as for myself I do not require a large room.' Tyrion insisted.

'Sincerely my Lord we have nothing.'

'Is there nothing I can do...' Tyrion said knocking a coin on the table 'to remedy this?'

'You can have my room.' Bronn said

'There's a clever man.' Tyrion said tossing him the coin. His eyes scanned the room, landing on none other than Catelyn stark. 'Pleasure to see you again my lady.' Tyrion said kindly bowing to her but Catelyn did not look happy to see him one bit. Soon she was calling upon all the men from all different houses to stand and defend her. the noised of swords being draw in their direction caused Tyrion to startle.

"Lady stark,' Tyrion said with a hint of bitterness and his guards were incapacitated. They were dragged away from the inn, still tried and hungry from their journey but not going to get rest anytime soon.

'You said we were going to Winterfell but we are headed in the wrong direction.' Tyrion remarked.

'I did and loudly.' Catelyn agreed, Rodrick was not happy about this change in plans, he didn't have much of her medication left and he could tell she was getting more and more towards her vicious tendencies as the days went on trying to get to the Vale.

'Very clever of you Catelyn... they'll be looking for me in all the wrong places but word has probably gotten to my father by now and he'll be offering a handsome reward.' Tyrion reminded the guards. 'Everyone knows a Lannister always pays his debts... would you be so good just untie me?'

'Why would I do that?' Catelyn questioned incredulously. Bronn was sharpening his sword looking over at the little lord he could get a nice penny off of returning him safely

'Why not?' Tyrion suggested 'am I going to run? the hill tribes would kill me for my boots unless a shadow cat-'

'Shadow cats and hill tribes are the least of your worries.' Catelyn assured him. She only saw one clear mission in her mind, revenge. Everything else was clouded, now all she could see was Lannister red. She was going to get revenge. Taking all her anger out on Tyrion, he was the easiest of lions to catch.

'The eastern road...' Tyrion noted the trail ahead of them. 'we are going to the veil you're taking me to your sister to answer from my imagined crimes.' Tyrion said letting out a huff of a breath. 'tell me lady stark when was the last time you saw your sister?' tyrion asked

'Many years ago.' She admitted.

'She has changed.' Tyrion informed her, 'she has always been a bit touchy but now you might as well kill me here.'

'I am not a murderer Lannister.'

'Neither am I.' Tyrion exclaimed. 'I have nothing to do with the attempt of your son's life.' Tyrion told her.

'The dagger found-'

'What imbecile arms an assassin with his own blade?' Tyrion reminded her.

'Can I gag him?' one of catelyns men suggested.

'Why am I starting to make sense?' tyrion questioned.

"Do we have to go?" Maelia asked tugging at the top of her dress.

"Why do you think I'm procrastinating?" Ned offered.

"I can think of many a things we could do... more exhilarating." Maelia offered pulling at his pants.

"Oh?" Ned couldn't help the smile on his face. Her hands fumbled with his pants yanking them down his legs. Ned stared as her as she reached up her hand around his cock as she moved. In one smooth motion, she wrapped her lips around him, sucking as she swirls her tongue around the tip. Now Ned was the one breathless, panting as he made every attempt to keep himself upright, his hands leaned back on his desk as she moved. He knew Maelia clearly possessed a naturally talented mouth, in all things. Shutting his eyes for a moment, his head fell back as he let himself go to the pleasure building inside. His hips rocked against her as her mouth glided over him again and again.

"Come here." Ned's voice deep and gruff. Maelia looked up at him letting her tongue drag away before moving to his lips, he pulled her to him a hand pulling her leg up to his hip but a knock at the door pulled them apart.

"Might want to fix that." Maelia whispered taking a step back to the window. Ned sighed pulling his pants up and shoving himself back inside. Maelia chuckled leaning against the windowsill.

'Come in.' Ned said his voice raspy

'your grace, the queen.' the announced before walking away and the queen walked in.

'Your Grace.' Ned said stiffly.

'Your... grace.' Maelia echoed.

'you're missing your tournament' cersei reminded him sparing a glance at Maelia.

'Just because it's in my name does not make it mine.' Ned told her.

'Of course,' she agreed looking around the Hand's office.

'We were headed there now.' Ned added looking to Maelia, she took that as her cue and ran out the door it clicked closed behind her and Ned couldn't help but chuckle.

'I thought we might put what happened on the Kings Road behind us,' Cersei offered as she heard the door click closed 'the argument with the wolves... the need to kill the beast was extreme.' she admitted 'but sometimes we go to extremes when our children are concerned.'

'couldn't agree more.' Ned said stiffly.

'How is Sansa?'

'Well she likes it here' ned admitted.

'It seems she is the only stark that does, she favors the south like her mother not much of the north and her-' ceresi went on.

'What are you doing here?' Ned questioned.

'I might ask the same of you.' Cersei said taking threatening steps forward her heels clicking on the ground 'what is it you hope to accomplish?'

'The king called on me to serve him and the realm and that is what I will do until he tells me otherwise.' Ned informed her.

'You can't change him you can't help him.' Cersei informed him 'he will do what he wants what he's only ever done. You will do your best to pick up the pieces.'

'If that is my job then so be it.' Ned said confidently.

'You were just a soldier, you take your orders and you carry on. I suppose it makes sense your older brother was charged to lead and you were charged to follow.' Cersei mocked

'I was also trying to kill my enemies your grace.'

'As was I.' she informed him before turning away mischievous look in her eyes
