Chapter 7

The next morning, I feel Drogo begin to stir and I am still lying there awake. He pulls me closer and I pull away. "Did you sleep?" he asks. I shake my head no. "You will ride with me." he tells me and I just nod. I go about getting dressed when Irri comes in with food and water. I am not hungry but my son needs to eat so I force myself to eat something before heading out of the tent. I walk over to Drogo and he does not say a word as he lifts me onto his horse. I place my hand on my stomach and look down at the horse's mane like I did when he first took me and fight off the tears. He leans down to my ear and whispers "I love you my moon." I do not respond.

We find camp that night and Drogo dismounts and then helps me off the horse before we head to our tent. I walk inside and force myself to eat again before sitting on the side of the bed rubbing my barely there baby bump. "Are you alright my moon?" Drogo asks. "Yes sire." I say before beginning to disrobe. I move farther onto the bed and he goes to kiss me but I do not let him. I move onto my hands and knees and he enters me slowly. Thrusting in and out at a steady pace, he finds his release without me finding mine. He moves to his back and I move to get dressed. "Where do you go?" he asks. "To get some air sire. You should sleep." I tell him before leaving the tent.

I see Irri sitting over to the side and when she sees me, she comes to me. "Do you need something Kahleesi?" she asks. "No Irri. I just need some air." I tell her. "Would you like to walk?" she asks and I nod my head yes. "You look sad Kahleesi." she says. "I am alright Irri." I tell her. "I mean no disrespect Kahleesi but we all see it. We see how sad you are. What has made you so sad, if you do not mind me asking?" she asks. "When we met with the other Kahlasaar, a woman was sitting on the Kahl's lap. He said he did not want her but I could see her snuggled up to him. He captured me and made me his whore before making me his wife. I knew I would never be enough for him. My fears came true." I tell her and the tears start to fall again. She pulls me close and holds me as I sob. "Kahleesi, you saw her on his lap but I heard what was said. He told the other Kahl that he did not need another wife because the one he has is the only one the Gods told him he would be with. He told the other Kahl and the woman that he had no interest in her and that she was not desirable." she tells me. "How do I get past this?" I ask. "You let him show you that he loves you. We all see the love he has for you. Never doubt that love. You are all he desires. You are more than enough for him." she tells me. "Thank you Irri." I tell her and she walks me back to my tent.

Walking into the tent, Drogo sits on the bed waiting for me. "Do you feel better my moon?" he asks and I just nod softly. I lay on the bed with my back to him and he lays behind me and puts his arm around me. I let him pull me closer and his hand goes to my baby bump and begins to rub it. I feel the tears start to fall he turns me to face him and pulls me into his chest. "What do you need my moon?" he asks. "Do not leave me my sun and stars." I whisper. Tilting my chin up to look at him, he says "The only thing that will take me from you is death. I only desire you my moon." I snuggle into him and he just holds me. After a little while, I look up at him and kiss him softly. He deepens the kiss and I whisper "Love me my Kahl." He moves me onto my back and enters me slowly. Never breaking the kiss, I find release after release before he finds his inside of me. When he lays on his back, I lay on his chest and he whispers "I love you my moon." I do not look up at him but whisper "I love you more my sun and stars."
