Castles Crumbling / Helaena Targaryen/ Taelon Targaryen

24. Goddess

His mouth came down on hers, and she immediately softens in his arms. Like muscle memory, their lips move together in a frenzy of passion and desperation. He 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. He felt like he was diving headfirst into the fire, not caring if he get burned.

They stumble forward but neither of them breaks the kiss. Instead, he pressed her against the wall as the door closes again.

In the history of time, there have been many kisses, but he guaranteed that none of them have ever been as good as this one. He pulled back slightly, placing his hands on her cheeks.

In all the history of kisses, this one was for the books.

Before he can react, she reached up and tugs the straps off her shoulders, knocking his hand out of the way. Helaena was a woman that knew what she wanted and she wanted Taelon. Constantly. She worked the thin fabric down her full breasts and small hips and lets it drop to the floor. It leaves her standing before him in only a pair of panties. For a moment, he simply stared.

"Kill em with kindness they still end up dead." Tommen remarked. Alicent jumped. "Your death glare." 

"I"m not-"

"No need to convince me," Tommen assured. 

"You and your brother are something else." ALicent murmured. 

"Fine. Make me your villain." Tommen cackled out. 

"WHAT?" Alicent squeaked back, "Tommen?" he shot her a grin and she relaxed. "You are too much Tommen." 

"I"m just the right amount of muchness." 

"Muchness?"

Helaena was experiencing muchness right now while Taelon devoured her. It became her favorite part of every day. Taelon. 

She would see Aegon and Aemond and think wow, I got so lucky as to get Taelon as mine. 

Taelon dipped down and dragged his tongue over her, cutting off her words. Her thighs shook, and she made a sound suspiciously like a whimper. He kept her spread as he explore her slowly, but his gaze was on her face.

Helaena integrated seamlessly into their lives because she had already been a huge part of their life. 

Helaena clapped her hands in a one-two, one-two-three rhythm that Taelon remembered from when he was a child and Viserys was trying to get him and Daemon to focus. Muscle memory kicked in because he gave her his full attention. Helaena chuckled looking to Taelon.

"I was trying to get the boys attention." Helaena informed him. "Who knew it worked so well with you."

"You always have my full attention." Taelon assured with a devilish wink.

Tommen pushed back his black hair from his angular face, trying to stifle a snicker. He crossed his brawny arms over his firm chest and leaned against a boulder, enjoying our spectacle way too much.

"Thanks tom." Taelon grumbled. Helaena couldnt hide her beautiful smile either. She tucked a long strand of silver hair behind her ear to no avail, it tumbled into her violet eyes once again as she giggled her head tipping forward. 

"You make a great pony." Helaena agreed as the boys rode on his back. 

"You lost the bet," Tommen added. "I wish I could frame this moment, where is the royal artist when you need her." 

"You cheated." Taelon corrected. 

"You sat cheat I say, winner." Tommen countered. "How is married life treating you Helaena?"

"Wonderful." SHe answered without hesitation. "I love Taelon."

"Yeah you can tell me he's awful, I dont mind. Bash on him a little. He has a little cock and awful chest hair and-"

"TOMMEN!" Taelon barked. 

"Bad morning breath surely. He can't be perfect in all aspects of life."

"He is." Helaena corrected. "And he even makes a good pony." She added giggling. 

"Thank you." Taelon agreed. 

Humming helaenas favorite lullaby, she stroked Elio's hair to calm him down until he fell asleep in her arms. Night mares were something the boys got on occasion like any child and Taelon was never the best at soothing them so easily. He usually stayed up and played games with them for hours until they forgot while they were scared. Helaena had a different approach one that got everyone back to bed sooner. 

"You are already an amazing mother." Taelon declared, helaena smiled continuing her gentle strokes of Elio's hair.

"You ready for another one?" Helaena questioned. 

Taelon was not ready. 

Helaena was so excited but Taelon was nervous. He never thought he would love again after Calla. His calla. He had lost count of the number of miscarriages before the final birth where he lost her. He couldnt let his worry show. Helaena was so excited but Taelon was a nervous wreck. 

Otto was thrilled. An heir. 

"Dont say that." Alicent barked back. 

Taelon fussed over helaena endlessly. She was tired, he carried her. She was thirsty, he ran to get water. She needed sun he would move the damn clouds. He was so worried, he had the maesters and nurses checking her regularly. Is the baby the right way? Is she in any pain? What does she need so I dont lose her too. 

Helaena understood, she didnt at first because she wasnt born when Calla had her miscarriages, it was strange tot hink that she wasnt born for most of Taelon's first marriage. 

Helaena forgot the age gap because taelon was so handsome and young at heart. He made her smile and she had known him forever that almost 20 years between them wasnt anything to her. Because the love was there. 

Helaena was a glowing goddess, Taelon was sure of it. Her smile lit up the room and the closer they got to the birth the more her smile grew with anticipation. Taelon was hopeful because he couldnt not be. He had to put his best foot forward.
