The dragons bastard

Chapter 7: finding love and bliss

Ragnar was sitting at the dining table with Catherine in silence "Catherine" Ragnar says gaining Catherine's attention "I wanted to apologise for what was said a few days ago".

Catherine sighs and nods "I forgive you Ragnar but what I do is to make me and you happy I live here now just as you do and as your wife I understand there's traditions here in the iron islands but there was no reason for you and your fellow vassal lords to make a mockery of me for it".

Ragnar looks down ashamed but understanding the actions of his mistake "I now I been distant from you and I'm sorry for that I was hoping we can try again".

Catherine got up and walked to his side of the dining table and sat by him "I would love that Ragnar" Ragnar was delighted to hear this "that's a start".

Catherine laughs "you have to think of something if you want my full forgiveness do" Ragnar thought for a moment and then thought of the perfect idea "okay then There's a lake on a island past the iron islands near the border of The Riverlands and the Westerlands no one knows it's there until I found it when I was 15 what you say it's only a days journey".

Catherine smiles "that would be lovely Ragnar" Catherine smiles "then it's sorted then" Ragnar kisses her hand as Catherine blushed at the moment a spark burned between them like a giant bonfire in November forever changed.

"You best get something comfy on" Catherine laughs and goes to get dressed later she sees Ragnar with a picnic basket she smiles as he offered her his arm they walk to a fishing boat as they sailed to the island.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrive at the island Ragnar holds her hand as he leads to the lake when they got the lake her amazement was evident the lake was large enough to see overgrown roses and beautiful lavender plants "my mother wanted to make this a special place for when we come here and now it's our special place".

she turns to Ragnar smiling "Ragnar it's Beautiful it's a wonder to behold" Ragnar smiles back and sets out the Picnic on the floor with Catherine helping out throughout the picnic they laughed giving each other food as they feed each other.

Ragnar grinned as the sunset was starting to lower "we should go into the lake" Catherine grinned back as she watched Ragnar that his shirt off her face blushed as she then also tuke her dress off leaving only her undergarments, Ragnar smirk "you may want to take that off you don't want wet undergarments now do we".

she blushed even harder "yes of course" once they undressed they jumped into the water the cool water chilling the bare skins at first but finally became bearable for a bit, Ragnar splashed water at her she returned it in kind, there laughter made them feel like the only people in the world.

Ragnar held her in the water, their faces close to each their hearts beating fast "Ragnar" Catherine spoke but was soon cut off as they both kissed each other im the water.

Ragnar carried her out the water and laid her on the blanket where they had the picnic.

He lay next to her "are you ready for this Catherine?" Catherine spoke back almost breathlessly "I have thought of nothing else".

Throughout the night their passion for each other blossomed for the love of each other, the burning passion and Urge was like a burning phoenix as the owls Watched on their trees and the Bright moon casting an Atmosphere of aesthetic bliss in their moment of Peace and passion.

A few months later the iron fleet was ready to head towards king's landing, Catherine watched on the port as the soldiers said goodbye to their wives and children who may not return from this battle in Dragonstone, she sees Ragnar and walked up to him "so you're finally off to King's landing then".

Ragnar turned to and held her hand "indeed i'm sorry I must leave you here alone" Catherine sighs "I'm coming with you Ragnar" Ragnar was about to protest but she spoke first.

"Ragnar firstly I'm your wife where you go I go, secondly the king won't be allowed to enter the battle and he is technically my brother in law and princess Rhaenrya is there so I will have plenty of company and lastly I'm with child" Ragnar was lost for words he kneeled and placed his hand on her belly "I'm to be a father".

Catherine chuckled as she felt his love for her and there child, he stood up and kissed her lips "and your sure I can't convince you to stay" Catherine chuckles "you would have to drag me and our child back to the castle first I'm coming Ragnar" Ragnar smiled chuckling as well "I can't stop you" he lifted her up into his arms as she laughed, the two of them both heading to kings landing with the iron fleet army behind them.
