Their Saving Grace

Chapter 6

Alicent Hightower has never in her life truly felt pleasure, with Viserys it has always been duty while he took pleasure she never did and the fact that she was in love with his daughter certainly didn't help. All her life as long as she remembers the septa have always told her that pleasure is for men, for women it is a sin and you should only do it to fulfill your duty to your husband and never for pleasure that was one of the reasons why she chastised Rhaenyra(and because of jealousy but we don't talk about that) in her previous life.

She has done her duty to Viserys multiple times and she thought she would be used to it by now but it never got easy, it got worse ever since she and Nyra got into a secret relationship ever time she did her duty she felt an immense amount of guilt it's been a few moons since Aegon's nameday celebrations and she has been visiting the king at night once a moon for the past four moons ever since Viserys decided it was time they have another child. She was excited to get her sweet daughter back but she still dreaded the process.

The last time she came back from his chambers she found Nyra waiting for her in her chambers. She forgot to inform Nyra that she is visiting Viserys which she did every time she went to visit him. So, Nyra doesn't wait for her this was the first time Nyra saw her in this state. Nyra silently walked toward her after looking at her for a minute. She knew that she was just doing her duty but looking at Nyra she couldn't stop the guilt that crept into her heart, she didn't even realize she was crying until Nyra cupped her face and wiped her tears gently.

"I've asked the maid to draw you a bath, come" Nyra lead to the tub before helping her undress and bath to get rid of Viserys from her and she helped her into her nightgown and held her while she slept that night and they never talked about it later for which Alicent was glad.

And here she was five days later feeling pleasure in a way she never felt before moaning Nyra's name and hoping no one would hear her. Nyra came into her room using the secret passage like she did every night ever since they started seeing each other, most of the nights she teaches her High valyrian before they go to bed and today was no exception, she doesn't even remember how they ended up in this situation one-moment Nyra was teaching her High valyrian and the next thing she remembers were Nyra's lips and hands all over her kissing her, caressing her and undressing her and moments later here she was squirming under her lover's touch, coming undone in a way she never thought was possible.

If that was how pleasure felt like then she doesn't blame Rhaenyra for seeking it instead of duty. After she came down from her high she turned her head to look at Nyra who was still dressed which was unfair but before she can voice that thought Nyra leaned in and captured her lips into a kiss and she couldn't help but moan when she tasted something sweet it was different from how Rhaenyra tasted from all the time she kissed her.

"How do you feel" Nyra pulled away after a while and rested their foreheads together while Nyra caressed her cheeks softly.

"Like I'm in heaven. How did know what to do." She won't ask that question to the older Nyra who was really experienced but this Nyra was still a maiden.

"Well, I found a book in the forbidden section of the library." Nyra was blushing furiously

"You broke into the forbidden section." Nyra just nodded her head not meeting her eyes. "Why would you do that Nyra and how did you know about the book."

"After you got married I wanted to be alone so I snuck into there once when I accidentally found the book and I did it for you."

"For me?"

"Yes, I remember once my uncle telling me that pleasure is for both Men and Women. So, I thought I could make you feel good. Did you not like it."

Alicent's heart fluttered at that confession she reached forward and pulled Nyra into a kiss. "I have never felt that good in my life. Issa jorrāelagon...... Did I say that right"
