Bad for Business / Viserys Targaryen

18. Mine

Your name hurts / Criston cole out now!

"Come with me," Viserys urged leading her away. Odessa put a hand on her stomach. "You are? Mine?"

"Of course, there has been no one else." Odessa assured. "Viserys, I love you." She brought a gentle hand to his cheek. "I'm... I'm keeping this baby weather you want to be apart of its life or not is up to you I won't force you-"

"I want to." Viserys cut her off. "I want to." He begged. 

"Viserys, you understand what taking responsibility means of this baby and of... what we have done means..." 

"I love you, I want us to have this journey together." Viserys assured. "I can't wait to tell the world, we will have a celebration and-"

"I love you but I want this baby to be just between us. I dont want a target on my back." Odessa remarked. 

"Oh, I understand," Viserys agreed. "What if there wasnt a target on your back, what if... what I married you."

"What?"

"Be my wife odessa Hightower." Viserys declared holding onto her hands. Her eyes darted between his as her ears tried to comprehend what he was saying. "Marry me." 

"You already have a wife." Odessa countered. 

"Marry me.  I will take a second wife, RHaenyra loves you, our children get along, we need not hide again if you were my bride." Viserys begged. He dropped to his knees before her. "Let us be a family, Odessa."

"Yes. Yes. Yes, Viserys I will marry you!" Odessa agreed. He kissed her fiercely. But she pulled back. "But I want to tell my kids first before you tell the realms." Odessa added quickly. 

"Of course, and then I will tell the council."

"After." Odessa agreed. 

'After." Viserys agreed. Odessa kissed him again pulling him closer and he melted into her touch. 

With her It was always thrilling, a rush of adrenaline, the cheer of a packed stadium, being suspended in the air when he once flew Balerion making him levitate in the clouds, and the frenzy of that smile, those hands over him, all tied together in his pounding heart. His hands shift to her lower back as their heads tilt to the perfect angles one must have thought they tested and practiced many times.

His lips react as if they know exactly what to do. There's power in familiarity. He already knew how to deliver a mind-blowing kiss to Odessa Highter, and he was using that knowledge to his advantage.

She pulled him back out of eyesight from the rest of the world. What started out as a slow kiss upgraded to something more passionate. That's another plus to familiarity, they got to bypass the getting-to-know-you phase and go straight to the I've-gotta-have-you phase. It was always the gotta have you though with them. 

The moment he asked her to marry him, Odessa knew she was going to say yes, but this kiss right now proved that there was more wanting between them from the moment they first rekindled their love to right now, this promise of forever heating up fast between them.

 Her fingers dug through his hair as Viserys roam up and down her back. He was cursing her tightly drawn up corset. Clothes quickly became an impenetrable barrier between his hands and her skin.

So he moved to her neck, combing his fingers through the base of her hair. They fell back a few inches, landing on the haybale in the stables and she laughed out. It was the most glorious sound he had ever heard. They didnt have time to make it back to the castle, or Otto's home, he needed to have her right this moment, needed to look at her stomach and touch the baby growing inside her, he was in her this morning and he had hardly noticed a bump but he was focused on regions above and below her stomach. 

Viserys' mouth comes down on hers, but she immediately softens in his arms. Like muscle memory, their lips move together in a frenzy of passion and desperation. VIserys kissed her with all the love he had inside him. He wanted her to know that she's safe with him, that he would never hurt her. Viserys was diving headfirst into the fire, not caring if he got burned.

A horse neighed out, sniffing down at them. But, neither of them breaks the kiss. Instead, he pressed her against the wall, pulling her to him, all in with this kiss. In the history of time, there have been many stable kisses, but Viserys guaranteed that none of them have ever been as good as this one. He pulled back slightly, placing his hands on her cheeks.
