Autumn Kiss 💋🍁 || Criston Cole

019 • PEACE TERMS

The doors of the Queen's chambers were jammed up locked. After making love and fucking each other to stupor, both them fell back on the sheets panting for air, happy and aroused by each other.

The indistinct chatters ans cawing of birds could he heard from the city, but the mutters of conversations and bonding between the Queen and her lover begin.

Ser Criston enveloped the Queen in his arms, both them naked on bed, kissing. Alicent traced her fingers on his bare chest, while he twirls her curly hair with his hand, mesmerized by her beauty.

"What fools we were, Ser Criston." Alicent said in a low voice, reflected on all the time they had been together without knowing what could have been.

He shook his head slowly "It was likely for the best, my Queen. What would have done being entangled as we are now when King Viserys still lived? How would either of us escape the shame?" Criston planted a kiss on her lips.

Alicent hummed. He was right, it would have been the ruin of them both and her entire family. Gods only know what the consequences may have been. But it was not so now, so long as they were careful and politic.

"I suppose then I shall thank the gods I am yours now." She said and craned her neck to kiss Ser Criston's cheek.

With a puzzled look on his face, he asked "Are you sure that perhaps there aren't…matters of state to attend to? Is your absence not conspicuous?" He raspsed.

At this reminder of the kingdoms and its' woes, irked the Queen. "Ser Criston, I am not my father. Matters of state can wait just now, I have heard enough of matters of fucking state for now." Alicent taunts. Immature as it may seem, she wanted those cares to be deferred as long as possible, she wished to stay in this moment, naked on bed making love with her sworn protector.

Ser Criston agreed even if he did not come out and say it, he just did not wish his own emotions to hinder Alicent.

"My children are safe, I will attend to it shortly…...but with your assistance i need something far more...."

"What is it Your Grace?"

"I want you to fuck me like you've always wanted." Alicent squeezed Criston's cock, stroking him, as she brushed his lips with a kiss, as they went into another round of romance and steaming sex, and all that was left was them moaning against each other's lips.

Hours later, they dressed up, Alicent and Criston had the daunting task of pretending a while nothing had happened. There was still more to attend to, that morning was simply a pause, some respite perhaps to be returned to once the work was done:

"Your children, Your Grace." Tayla announced to Alicent. The evening sun began to slowly fall beneath the skyline as daylight changed to the shades of dusk.

The Dornish knight stood outside the door, while Alicent addressed her children.

Once Aegon, Aemond and Helaena gathered around her, the Queen struggled with how to begin. "Children…I…have something to inform you of. Please do not be upset, but you must know that I.." The words escaped her as she sighed and tried to collect herself.

"Worry not, Mother" Helaena said staring at nothing in particular on the far wall of Alicent's chamber. "You need not be alone in the Hightower, even if the higher levels quake. We below you shan't mourn much for the loss of iron."

Aegon rolled his eyes at what he thought was just insane prattle, though Aemond knew enough to heed closely what his mother had to say.
