The she-wolf and the lion

Chapter 193 - at his father's side

Jaime readies himself to ride to Kings Landing to be at the side of his mother and father while his father is ill. He dresses himself with help from Bronn, the soldier helping his lord and master to place his weapons in ways that won't harm him or his horse while riding.
"Where is Will?" Jaime asks.
"I sent him to the kitchens to get some food that you could bring with you, although you will both have your weapons on you so that you can hunt as well", Bronn says.
"Thank you, my friend", Jaime says.
"Are you worried about your lord father?" Bronn asks.
"A little, but I'm sure he'll be alright", Jaime says. "I'm honestly more worried about leaving Lyra and the children behind here without me"
"I will protect your wife and children, don't worry", Bronn says. "Then again, knowing your wife and sons, perhaps I should rather be prepared to protect whomever is dumb enough to possibly come here and threaten them while the lord isn't here, I've seen both your wife and your sons kill to protect themselves and their home"
"You're probably right, my wife can be a dangerous woman and my sons can be dangerous young men" Jaime says.
"You have nothing to worry about, your family is safe while you're away seeing to your father's recovery", Bronn says lightly. "Give the old lion my best wishes"
"Does my father know that you call him that?" Jaime asks with a chuckle.
"I believe your lord father is fully aware of my slight insolence", Bronn says, chuckling back.
"What do you call Lyra's father?" Jaime asks. "If you call mine 'the old lion'?"
"Lady Lyra's father, I call 'the old wolf', of course", Bronn says.
"Then who is the young wolf? And the young lion?" Jaime asks.
"The young wolf is of course Gerion, and the young lion is obviously Daemon", Bronn says.
"Really?" Jaime asks.
"No, actually, you're the young lion, Daemon is the Ice Lion, and Gerion is the Summer Wolf" Bronn says simply.
"I don't feel very young", Jaime says.
"You're practically still a child", Bronn says.
"So that's why Lyra keeps taking my pants off before taking me to bed? To make sure that I'm a grown man", Jaime says with a smirk.

Daemon laughs at the conversation between his father and the soldier.
"Go now, my love, and come back to me soon", Lyra says, wrapping her arms around Jaime's neck and kissing him deeply.
"I will count the minutes until I can come home and warm your bed", Jaime says. "Will, it's time to go"
"Yes, m'lord, don't worry, lady Lyra, I will protect your lord husband while we're away", Will says with a calming smile.

The lord and the young soldier leave the castle with their packs.
"Did you get the food packs in order?" Jaime asks.
"They're in our saddle bags", Will says. "I had two of the young stallions saddled and readied for us, to let Wind-sweeper rest so you can use him in training with your sons"
"Good, good", Jaime says. "Are we ready?"
"Yeah, we're ready", Will says.
"Let's go, then", Jaime says, mounting the young stallion, spurring him on.

Jaime and Will stir their horses towards Kings Landing, they end up riding all night, following the Goldroad to the Lion's Gate. They ride through it and are met by Jaime's brother Tyrion, dressed in a cloak.
"Welcome brother, I didn't recognize your horse", Tyrion says.
"My usual horse had been worked a little too hard by me, so I left him at Casterly Rock to rest and recover, Jaime says.
"I see, your old rooms are readied for you if you wish to wash before seeing father", Tyrion says.
"No, bring me to father, Will, bring the saddle bags to my old rooms and wait for me there", Jaime says.
"Yes, m'lord", Will says, taking care of the horses, removing the saddle bags and walking after the lords in to the castle, walking in to Jaime's old rooms and sitting down to wait while his master and his brother go to their father.
"Who is the youth?" Tyrion asks as he and Jaime walk to their father's rooms.
"One of my soldiers", Jaime says. "I left Bronn at Casterly Rock to guard my wife and kids"
"Knowing your wife and sons, I would have Bronn guard whoever plans to attack you", Tyrion says.
"Daemon said the same", Jaime says. "Now tell me what I can expect when I see father"
"Father was struck by what seemed to be a fever when he and mother had been here for two days, the grand maester examined him and determined that father had been poisoned", Tyrion says. "Thankfully not a very powerful poison, but still"
"I see, do we know who did it?" Jaime asks.
"I have my ideas..." Tyrion says.
"Who?" Jaime says.
"The viper's paramour", Tyrion says.
"Why?" Jaime asks.
"Because our nephew at Storm's End was apparently supposed to wed one of the viper's bastard daughters", Tyrion says.
"She had father poisoned because of that? I suppose that it's an idea, but also that it's far fetched even for her", Jaime says.
"Who do you think it could have been?" Tyrion asks.
"The woman I spurned when I married my wife, and before I married my wife, and whom I've spurned again over and over, every time my wife has gone in to labor and given me sons", Jaime says. "And no, I don't believe that our sister is doing it from the beyond, but rather lady Alyana Estren, do you remember her?"
"Oh yes. I remember her, that woman would sell her own mother to a pillow house to get in to your pants", Tyrion says.
"That she would, but she won't get in to them anyway, only Lyra will get to do that", Jaime says.

The brothers reach the room where Tywin is lying and are let in to the room by a servant.
"Father, it's Tyrion, I'm here with Jaime", Tyrion says, walking to the bed.
"Jaime? You came", Tywin says in a weak voice, so very unlike his usual booming voice.
"Of course", Jaime says.
"Are my grandchildren with you? And Lyra?" Tywin asks.
"No, I left Lyra and the children at Casterly Rock, but I promised to send for them if I would be away for long", Jaime says.
"Has your brother told you what happened to me?" Tywin asks.
"Yes father, Tyrion told me that you were poisoned by someone", Jaime says.
"It was that jealous witch Alyana Estren, who always wanted you", Tywin says fiercely.
"I figured as much", Jaime says. "She's always tried everything she could think of to get to me"
"I want her head for this" Tywin says.
"And you shall have it, father", Tyrion says. "I will speak to the king first thing in the morning, Rhaegar may be less blood thirsty than Aerys, but when he learns that his hand's lord father has been poisoned by someone seeking to ruin the marriage of his hand's brother and the queen's sister, even our calm good king Rhaegar will breathe fire"
"I must rest now, see you both in the morning, show your brother to his rooms, Tyrion", Tywin says.
"Yes, father", Tyrion says. "Pycelle, take care of our father, send for us whatever it is"
"Yes, lord Tyrion" grand maester Pycelle says.

The brothers leave the room and Tyrion shows Jaime to his old rooms where Will is waiting with food and drink for his master.
"Good night, little brother", Jaime says.
"Good night, big brother", Tyrion says.

Tyrion goes to his own rooms where Sansa is waiting for him, sleeping in their bed. He gets undressed and gets in under the covers with her.

In Jaime's rooms, he sits down sharing a meal with Will before the two men get undressed and get settled, Jaime in the big bed that he wishes he shared with Lyra, and Will on the daybed in the corner.

As soon as Jaime is entirely sure that Will is asleep, he reaches a hand down between his own legs and starts masturbating, thinking of the last time Lyra rode him like he was a bucking bronco.
"Mm, Lyra", Jaime moans as he orgasms, aiming so that he finishes in to the chamber pot beside him.
