Back To You // Jorah Mormont (2)

17. Infected

"Jorah!" Oceana demanded and he turned to her, Daenerys saw the look of love in his eyes that she thought she once saw when he looked at herself.

"Oceana," Jorah answered moving carefully to her.

"You can't leave."

"I... I was infected." Jorah countered and Oceana stared at he lifted his shirt.

"We find a cure together."

"OCeana-"

"I just found you Jorah, I'm not losing you again." Oceana corrected. "And I know just where to look... how long does the progression take do you think?"

"I dont know." Jorah admitted.

'THen we best get going."

Oceana had called for her friend Jack hoping that by the time Jorah returned they would have the fastest ship ready to take them on their journey across the narrow sea. To find Jorah a cure. 

"The citadel is in old town, it is said to be beautiful there." Oceana remarked. San waved down at the water.

"You know its quite nice you have a pirate at your command." Jorah mused.

"He owes me." Oceana teased winking back at Jack.

"She owes me one!" Jack corrected.

"We keep owing each other, its a good relationship to have." Oceana shrugged leaning into Jorah careful not to touch his arm.

"You know... there might not be-"

"Dont say that." Oceana begged. 

"I'm just..." Jorah let out a heavy sigh. "I just want you to realize that this might just be us spending an extra moon together and nothing more." Jorah said touching her hand. 

"I dont accept that." Oceana countered. "I just got you back, Jorah. I'm not losing you again. You can't give up on me." 

"I won't." Jorah confirmed. 

But the wheels were already in motion, and this late in the game, Jorah was powerless to stop them. Problem was, those were the same wheels that were going to crush him.

Oceana took his hand, sending a jolt of awareness up his spine. His fingers trembled almost imperceptivity, and she wrapped his around hers as they walked down the ships upper most dock.

"I don't want to hurt you-"

"You never could." Oceana countered.

"I can't infect you, Oceana. You have San, you have a family that loves you." Jorah countered.

"And you are part of that family, Jorah. I won't lose you." Oceana corrected. "So I'm going to hold your hand because you need it just as much as I do. And when I kiss you later, please don't stop me because I will always love you. Stone man or my jorah."

In that moment he released her hand making sure his sleeve was covering his arm fully before kissing her. 

They kissed, long and slow, their tongues stroking, their bodies pressing together tightly. She moaned into his mouth. He allowed his hands to roam down her rib cage and hips, slipping his hands under the hem of her dress. He savored the smooth curve of her backside as she pulled him in closer. 

Oceana had been with one man her whole life, her husband and father of her child, Drogo. But being with jorah came so easily. 

"Another day and we are there." Oceana remarked happily. She didnt know if they could save him but they were their best bet. They had to try. She wouldnt lose him.
