Drops of Jupiter

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Waking up the next morning, I am still feeling sad. Drogo is gone to help get most of the camp packed up and Irri brings me my food and water. I make myself eat and she asks "How are you feeling Kahleesi?" I don't look at her but say "I am alright Irri." She shakes her head but helps me get ready for the day. Once I am ready, I walk out of the tent and Irri gets some bloodriders to take down our tent. Once it's all done, I walk over to Drogo, still not looking at him, and he lifts me onto his horse and then mounts behind me. We head out and he leans forward and asks "How are you feeling my moon?" I lean back into him a little and say "I am alright my Kahl." I feel him kiss the top of my head as we go faster.

It's been a month since I have started feeling this way and we are sitting around the fire one night and I am just staring at the flames. "Talk to me." Drogo says. I look up at him and say "I am tired. I am going to lay down." I tell him. Kissing his cheek, I head to the tent and he follows me. I start to change into my gown and sit on the side of the bed. "Talk to me Jupiter." he says. "I have been thinking about this for a while. I think you should take a second wife." I tell him. "I do not desire a second wife." he tells me. "I desire you to have a second wife." I tell him. "Why?" He asks. "I can no longer fulfill my wifely duties sire. I desire you to take a second wife who can." I tell him. I see him getting angry before storming out of our tent and I begin to sob. Irri comes in and asks "Do you need anything Kahleesi?" I do not look at her but shake my head and say "No. Goodnight Irri." She nods and leaves the tent.

I make a bed in the corner away from Drogo's bed and am still sobbing when he comes back in. He sees me laying on the bed in the corner and walks over to me. Kneeling beside me, he says "Come to bed my moon." I do not move. He picks me up and carries me to the bed and lays me down. Laying beside me, he tries to pull me close and I pull away. I do not speak and neither does he. He just hovers over me and kisses me softly and I start to sob again. "My moon, do not cry. You are all I desire until the Gods take me." he tells me. I look into his eyes and he kisses me again. I let him mount me again and we spend the rest of the night making love over and over. When we find our release, he lays beside me and pulls me onto his chest and says "You are my only Kahleesi. You are my only moon. And you are my only love. You are all I want and need my moon." he tells me. I don't look up at him but say "I am trying my sun and stars. I am trying." I tell him and he holds me closer.

Waking up the next morning, I am still in his arms. My back is to him and his arms are around me and his hand is on my stomach. I snuggle back into him and feel him place a soft kiss to my shoulder. "I love you my moon." he tells me. "I love you my sun and stars." I tell him. I turn in his arms and look up at him. He kisses me softly and asks "How do you feel?" I snuggle into him and say "Better my Kahl." We get up and get dressed for the day and I am feeling a little sick to my stomach. When we go to eat I ask Irri, "Can you bring me some horse meat to eat on our travels?" She nods and sees herself out. Drogo looks at me and I say "I need to eat more. Your son is a hungry one." He smiles softly, that smile only I see. We mount the horse and head out on our way.
