It was morning and as I opened my eyes I was blinded by the sun rise. The breeze was cold along my back, and san grans kept on scratching my upper thigh as I tried to move. Where exactly was I? This time I wasn't drunk yet, what had happened felt like a dream.

As my eyes adjusted to the bright sun and my body picked itself up from where it laid and as I shifted I found why I felt so comfortable. "Good morning my love." Aemond deep morning voice sent a rush of blood onto my face as I blushed over him with my arms still on his waist.

"Good morning... Aemond. Aemond! It's morning!" I got up in a rush grabbing a hold of my clothing and covering myself from Aemond. "I have to go! I have to give a report to Rhaenyra. And here I am with you. You did this." I tried my best to get dressed and shake the sand off my hair while Aemond sat up just looking at me from top to bottom.

"Wait Dhai." Aemond stood up and came forth about to help me with the back of my dress when he saw all of the scars that covered my messed up back. "Did... Did I do this to you Love?" He ran his fingers through my back making sure to take in every little cut and bump on my skin before placing a kiss over them. "I am so very sorry Dhaenys. I would have never let you go if it meant you would suffer this horribly. I could never make up for all that I put you through. I am forever in debt to you."

"Aemond, it isn't worth our time to look back at all the harm we have done to each other. There is a lot that not be undone. We both are married to others and here we are together. How could we have come to this." Aemond kept on kissing my neck as I explained all that was wrong with us. I wanted him wanted him with all that I was mind, body, and soul. He was the man for me in every way.

"Don't wrong about any part of it. I am here for you and with you. There is no one in this world that I want other than you. I would do anything to have you at my side. Kill my so called wife and that bastard of a husband of yours to be together. I would burn the who world to have you with me." I knew Aemond meant every part of it. He indeed would burn cities and kill anyone for me. However it was most that simple.

"Neither of us can lean to much to either side. As much as I would want that. I am In enough trouble as it is creating alias in the north. Jace already has it against me and he will punish me once more if I betray them." My hand ran up my still swollen check remembering the moment when Jace had laid a hand on me.

"That son of a whore dared to hit you?" He asked pulling my hand back softly and examining my face as the sunlight was hitting it. "What could have been expected from a coward boy. I heard what you did while Cole was riding here."

"Yeah Jace at first was sweet but once he knew how much I could do for myself her became aggressive. The queen already separated me from my family and home and I have asked from Lord Stark his protection if needed. More than likely I will be back in the winter lands after today. My actions have been considered treacherous enough without you."  I pulled back continuing to dress myself and adjusting my hair while shaking off the rest of the sand from my white locks.
