I Knew You Were Trouble // Tywin Lannister (1)

14. Earn It

Taeylor wasnt bored, she got to do as she liked, Tywin allowed her, her freedom.

"Morning darling." Tywin kissed her cheek moving to pour them a cup a tea. She smiled pulling her knees up to her chest. He watched her night dress slip up her thighs. "Sleep well?"

"I didnt get much sleep. "Taeylor corrected extending a hand for the cup. Tywin smiled back at her.

"So that why i am so tired." He mused. "How is the song coming?"

"Slowly. I don't know how to transition to the last chorus." Taeylor answered. "I think i accidentally started writing another song so maybe it's not going as well as i hoped."

Tywin chuckled running a hand over her back. She leaned into his touch

"Are you busy? I mean is your day busy? Meetings and whatnot?"

"What did you have planned my darling?"

"I just want to spend the day with you. You have been busy reasonably so since we got here. I just want to spend time with you." Taeylor assured.

"Then the day belongs to us." Tywin agreed.

'It's beautiful will you show me how it works?' Margaery asked

'It's a new design much easier to load there's no crank use this lever,' joffrey told her demonstrating 'and you pull the string,' she watched with interest 'the bow goes here... And then you just...' he got up and he shot directly through the boars eyes Margaery stood up clapping

'Would you take me hunting sometime? Forgive me your grace I know I hunt is no place for a woman.' Margaery Admitted

'Says who?' Joffrey told her

'Well my father would never let me before-'

'You no longer belong to him.' Joffrey reminded her 'do you want to hold it?'

Taeylor squealed with delight as the arrow went flying into the target.

"My father would have never allowed this!" Taeylor declared.

"My brother was a sticker for rules."

"Always said he got it from you." Taeylor countered. Tywin chuckled

"I will admit i never let my daughter do this." Tywin told her. "But seeing how happy you are it makes me wish i had reconsidered... You are a natural."

"Thank you Ty."

"I'm glad i could be the reason for your smile."

"You are always the reason for my smile." Taeylor assured.  She put down the bow carefully and kissed him. "Tywin..."

"Yes darling?"

"What else can I shoot?"

Tywin chuckled.

"Maybe one day i take you hunting." Tywin suggested as the door opened.

"Oh that would be fun. But on second thought i dont want to hurt animals." Taeylor countered rethinking.

"Maybe target practice at prisoners." Tyrion suggested.

"Oh i like that." Taeylor half mused.

"We will think about what you can shoot at." Tywin countered kissing her again. "What do you want tyrion?"

"The badge looks good on you. Almost as good as it looked on me. Are you enjoying your new position?"

"Am I enjoying it?" Tywin groaned putting the bow away. Taeylor smiled grabbing a glass of wine. She was a married woman. She couldnt get over that. Tywin had been married but taeylor was full of energy tired him out. He took a seat getting back to work although he would have loved to keep kissing her for moons.

"It suits you well Ty." Taeylor assured.

"I was very happy as Hand of the King." Tyrion informed him.

"Yes. I heard how happy you were." Tywin assured blowing on his paper to dry the ink. " You brought a whore into my bed."

" It wasn't your bed at the time."

" I sent you here to advise the king. I gave you real power and authority. You chose to spend your days as you always have, bedding harlots and drinking with thieves." Tywin remarked sealing the scroll.

"Occasionally I drank with the harlots."

"Trouble in paradise?"

"No." Taeylor sassed. "Would you stop it Garlan?"

"I could but what fun would that be?" Garlan countered.

"Tywin and i are fine." She put down her lyre. "Tywin needed to deal with his son-"

"Your son."

"I dont-" Taeylor stopped herself. "Yes. His children are my children now." She agreed. "Go away garlan."

"What are you playing?"

Taeylor picked up her lyre and turned to him as she strummed.

"When someone gets you down, kick him to the courtyard. Slam the gates and say goodbye kick his ass out the door. Hes not my problem anymore." She strummed

"Lovely. Was that about tywin?"

"Fuck off Tyrell."

"Darling?" Taeylors bad mood shifted the moment tywin approached he excuse garlan and to Taeylors surprise garlan left without a fuss.

"My hero." Taeylor declared

"Is ser garlan bothering you? I can have him removed this instant." Tywin assured.

"Oh no its fine. Hes just chatty." Taeylor offered. "But i would rather spend my time with you. What did tyrion have to say?"

"Nothing of use. That boy thinks he deserves the world."

"He just wants the same love that jaime gets." Taeylor countered.

"Well then he has to earn it."
