[Musebox] - Resurrection




Continued from here.

Margaery knew Littlefinger and what he was capable of. The man had the good sense to avoid the former queen and alert her to his presence. He had always been a shrewd figure and likely understood that if Margaery knew he was about, she would likely have several stories to share about him. He was hardly the sort fit to spend time with Sansa and his influence on the young woman was pronounced. There was a quality to her that was no longer as compassionate as before. She was self serving, seeking power with reckless abandon, all with unclear ends. She had a smile now that could not be trusted, seemingly masking thoughts beneath the surface. While Margaery had missed her friend, it was with grim understanding that she recognized that her friend was gone. Someone else had taken her place.

It would take time for Margaery to learn all of the noble lords that served the Starks. Her education had included the make up of each of the bannermen to the great houses of Westeros, but that knowledge had been lost along the line, disappearing like a stone dropping beneath the surface of a pool. There had been greater thinks occupying her mind and, only now, did she realize that she had become lax with her skills for the game.

As much as she didn't want to, she would need to spend time below with the men and the forces of the Stark army. It would grant her the chance to observe and analyze those that gathered about her lover. She could read into the hearts of men and would find the means to learn their motivations, singling out those who could be trusted and those who couldn't. It was dangerous, as all of her scheming had once been, but there was more to lose now. It was no longer her life or her family's, it was a life she shared with another, the other part of her.

She feels the warmth he exudes and curls around it, basking under his affection and the glow of their earlier efforts. Despite the swirling lust, she found herself floating along the surface of bliss and contentment. It had been so long since such feelings coursed through her, for a moment, she had nearly mistaken them for something else. He carries her gently against the tide of her apathy and sorrow, drawing her back under the warm sun until she is thawed and alive once more. His arms shelter her, a tree in the midst of a rainstorm. He is her godswood and she would be devout to him in all ways, worshiping at his feet as they rutted like beasts, drawing their power from a more ancient magic. It was magnetic and addictive, but it was the source of her life now.

She considered his words, curiously trying to put a name to all that she felt. It seemed like a useless struggle, but there was something she wished to know. She was aware he shared the frenzied longing of her body, but there was something else as well, something rooted deeply inside her, past her heart and soul. She was bound to him, but didn't know how best to explain it. "I stir more than your cock, I believe?" Margaery asked, placing her hand over his heart. "It's more than that and I think that it is something..." it wasn't love. The word was paltry and pale compared to this, but how else could it be described? Such names didn't exist on the tongues of man. "Do you understand what it is?" She couldn't go into detail if he didn't. It was something that was simply known.

"Davos," her smile became one of amusement. "I think he is afraid of me or rather, doesn't know how to respond to my presence. I am too much a reminder of Stannis for him." He had at least been polite and kind, as had Tormund, though the Wildling didn't seem to have an idea of how to speak to her or how to behave. She wasn't a shield maiden and she imagined that he didn't want to frighten her off. They had good hearts and she hoped to open hers to them, if it ever truly could be.

"I speak of it because you might have to make the offer yourself." Margaery whispered, running her fingers through his hair. She hated to interrupt their love play with talk of politics and marriages, but there was no other time that they would be alone like this. Her opinion and advice would be dismissed by his men and she would gain their ire for interfering, but at least here, there was no one she would have to argue against. Jon would understand why she was offering it and how she might know better than the rest. She had three politically arranged marriages, after all. "If you make the offer, you will not make them feel as though they have to beg for aid. You are the stronger force with the larger kingdom." It would at least save them face before he flaunted a lover around his court.

Politics were left behind as their urges screamed back to life. Her hips subconsciously rolling against him as she sought the same friction he had wanted before. The stimulation against her sensitive sex bringing soft moans from her lips, as tender and gentle as a dove's coo. "I wouldn't deny you, as I might very well do the same." She was never a woman of such force before, but her body now cried out to be. She wanted to to pull him against a wall, free his cock from his breeches and rut happily for all to see. Modesty and decorum were simple, pretty words for those that didn't know what they wanted or how to enjoy it. She wasn't such a maiden anymore, she was as wild and untamed as he was and the desires they shared demanded immediate attention.

Yet she instead chose to toy with him, forcing him to remain seated and stationary as she explored her body with a cloth. The act of washing herself turning sensual and erotic as she cleaned away the places he marked her with lips, teeth and seed. She was wiping away the slate, indicating he would have to start all over again. "Am I yours?" Margaery asked with a wicked smile. "It seems that there are no signs left that I am." She was playing with fire and longed to be consumed by it, her flames and his inferno, swept up into the maddening blaze until she was burnt and broken by their passions.

He obeys her instructions, much to her chagrin and amusement. Given their earlier efforts, she had imagined he would break right away, but Jon seemed to be a man of remarkable will power. For the sake of pushing the game further, she moved close to him. Turning her back, she offered him the cloth. "You will have to wash where I cannot reach, but you cannot move from your chair or touch anywhere else." This would be enough, she was certain of it. She was pulling a string taught and sooner or later, it would snap in half and the force between them would smother them both.

Whispers are always a common feature of castles and they're often uttered by those that should know better; unfortunately, not even a king can silence wagging tongues, so the whispers march on, always there, always quiet, and waiting to be heard. He has no master of whispers, nor while he ever, but he's neither blind or deaf, so he knows that kinds of things that are whispered behind backs. They are, in this case, utter nonsense. Beauty is always a subjective thing, something that's as intangible as the sky or breath, and so Margaery's beauty is not ruined, not in his mind, but enhanced. To survive was always a difficult task; to come back from the very brink of death was all but impossible. Scars or no, that alone would have made her outshine a thousand Northern beauties.

With each passing moment, the slowly dwindling distance between them bothered him less and less. That wild desire was rising back up inside him, a maddening lust for her that was not easy to suppress. Not that he'd want to. Her hand guided his, the muscles in his arm growing lax as he let her take the reigns, never touching him directly, but guiding the speed and depth of his strokes; within moments, fluid beaded at the slit near the tip of his cock and his hips started to sway slightly, matching the motion of each jerk with one of their own. Each time he glanced at her, he thought of letting his hand fall away and seeing what she would do. Would she replace his hand with hers? Would she rise up and slowly sink down around her cunt? Or would she lift her rear into the air and entice him to take her? "You're right, of course. There will never be enough chances to sate my desire for you, Margaery, and we can't very well skip every meal." His words were choppy, voice breathless as pleasure rose inside him, making it harder to think with each passing moment. "Well then, I shall challenge you to a game later. One that we have all the rules laid out in advance."

That would only be fair, after all.

"The court may already think so. What do you suppose they'll make of the noises the guards will report to them?" Men would inevitably fail to understand the bond that had come to bind them together; even Davos, as good a man as there was, would not comprehend. All he could do was explain. There was no tempering his need for her; it was instinct now, and instincts could only be held at bay for so long. "Still, they will learn. These men chose to follow me willingly. It will take more than my fucking you to endanger this kingdom." He was not wed, not yet, and if he did marry the Martell girl, they would see to it that everything had it's proper place, that everyone knew what the standings were. "Mmmm, and you're making it harder for me to think about such things when you toy with your tits like that, love." Jon would not delude himself into thinking the ferocity of his desire would abate with time. It would always be there, hot and raw and just as fierce as today.

"That's all we can do. I've not heard rumors of supplies being sent to the Twins, but it's possible such things are being done in secret." He wondered if they were. From what he'd heard, Jaime Lannister himself had to take command of the siege of Riverrun. Would the Lannisters be so eager to send more aid so quickly? Even King's Landing must have suffered a shortage of food, considering the devestation of the war. Might not it all be hoarded there? "I would prefer to wait with our men until they're ready to march. It's important for them to know why their King is not going with them. Enough men will grumble. The going will be slow enough that even if we delay to leave at the same time, we'll arrive in Dorne long before they cross the Neck." White Harbor was not so far, even without the Kingsroad to march down. If it was necessary to strike an alliance with Dorne, then better to be done with it sooner rather than later.

"Then the only way this ends will be with King's Landing under siege. If Cersei Lannister can not be reasoned or negotiated with, we will have no choice but to take her head to end the war." It almost saddened him to think there might not be any other alternative. He wanted to bring destruction and death down on their house, but there had been so much death already, it would have been nice if some other avenue to peace might exist. The armies of the dead were still out there. "We will have to see what comes, then. Right now, we must focus on removing the Freys from power and gaining an alliance with Dorne. How the reign of House Lannisters must be for later. There are still too many plans that must be made first."

A satisfied smile spread across his face, eyes gleaming with the knowledge that they would be together for the rest of their lives. Without questions, their souls were fully intertwined, forged into a single great entity instead of two separate pieces. Whether it was to Dorne or to War or anywhere else in the world, she would never be far from his side. "Yes," he murmured by way of response, fingers stroking the side of her face, thumb tracing the crease of her lips in the moment before he leaned and tried to kiss the breath out her.

Rumor had followed him for much of his life. Baseborn sons, especially those of a nobleman with honor as impeccable as Ned Stark's, often inspired such gossip; for a long time, such talk had bothered him terribly. Every boy eventually becomes a man, though, and the sting of such whispering had faded as he did. At the Wall, dissatisfied men had whispered that his mother was whore, that he was half wolf and half wildling, that he was as much a traitor as his Lord Father had been. Lord Slynt and Alliser Thorne were notorious for spreading such talk. There was nothing to be done but ignore it. Responding to it would only encourage more men to speak it, giving it life again and again until everyone believed, no matter how untrue it might be.

It was inevitable that his cravings for her would overtake him before too long; desire for her was writ into his bones and his blood now, an elemental part of him that could not be suppressed, stopped, or ignored. His lips parted as she quickened the pace, soft, throaty groans spilling freely as he squirmed about, pleasure swelling like the crackling of a fire. His eyes watched her, a pair of wolf's eyes, dark and hungry, tongue wetting his lips in mute approval as she moved to touch herself as well, her fingers slipping past her dark curls and teasing the overly sensitive spot just above her cunt. Gods. He wanted her so badly then, wanted to tear away her fingers and his and slam his cock inside her, to fuck her brutally hard and fast until they both dissolved into orgasm. "Yes," he whispered back, subtly shifting the grip around his cock, fingertips applying more pressure to the sensitive underside. "Ne-next time. We'll play a game. And I'll win." His lips quirked into a knowing smile; with these games, they'd both win, no matter who won.

And that was exactly what he wanted.

"Not everyone thought that, but it hardly matters now." His Northmen were a suspicious lot, and mistrusted southrons as a rule of thumb, but they were good men. And they knew him. The rumors circulated, true, but Lord Cerwyn had grown up only several days from Winterfell and had often visited. He knew that Jon was not the sort to freely take a lover nor was he likely to shirk his duty. The men and women here knew him. They knew the Starks. What was now spreading across the court had been gossiped about, true, but only idly and not by the most important members of his court. "Some will take issue with it, but you are not our prisoner, Margaery, nor do we have any claim to decide who you must wed. I have reminded certain Lords of that before. I will do so again." He didn't doubt that some would certainly take the chance to spread talk of insult, to say that he had weakened their positioning by taking the Lady of High Garden to bed. "As I said before, alliances do not always require a marriage to be sealed. At best, they'd wed you to one of bannerman's sons. You do not need a wedding to be sealed to our cause. At least, I'd like to believe that you already are." Jon smiled softly. They would find a way through this. "Do not worry. Whatever egos are bruised, we can soothe them by announcing our intention to go to Dorne. I will tell them you convinced me of it."

That ought to give Littlefinger and his sister something to chew on for a while yet.

"She must keep most of it for herself, then. Perhaps in reserve at High Garden. She already controls it, so there'd be no point in moving the extras. No doubt she'll keep an iron grip on it, using it as a way to purchase loyalty and punish traitors." With the Freys controlling the Riverlands, there were few other places that could yield the amount of food that the Reach could. War had left many places short of food, and with the oncoming winter said to be an especially harsh and long one, a stash like the one they'd acquired would go far in assisting with ruling the realm. "When we strike our deal with Dorne, High Garden may very well need to be the first place they attack. If we can cut off their food supply and rally your countrymen, we may stand a better chance." Especially if the Redwynes and their fleet could be counted on. Stannis had nearly taken King's Landing using a fleet and armies and Tyrion Lannister was no longer there. Still, it would be a risky gamble; the enmity between Dorne and the Reach was well known and he did not know if they would love him for setting the Dornish loose into their land.

Jon sighed at her pronouncement. "I had hoped that she might have used up her stores with the Sept, but that was too much to hope, wasn't it? Very well. We must need find a way to avoid a protracted siege. And to take it before she realizes what's happened." It was a tall order. Cersei would have whispers pouring in while they marched towards her. All they could hope to do was defeat her swiftly and surely or find someway to... ensure she fell or fled before the battle could happen. It was a terrible thing to consider, but it might be necessary. It was not the option he would pursue unless there was no other recourse available to him.

Desire swept through him, burning away all other thoughts and concerns, as he felt her fingers replace his, the soft, warm skin of her fingers making him gasp softly against her mouth. Sweeping his tongue along the seam of her lips, Jon gladly welcomed the deepened kiss, plunging inside of her mouth to taste her and to explore. In reciprocation, he draped an arm over her shoulder and traced the curve of her breast with rough, calloused fingers, touch surprisingly delicate. After, he filled his palm with one and gently pinched a tight nipple between his thumb and forefinger, rolling it as he pressed closer, closing any distance that lay between them.

It was strange to think that it was not so long ago as all that when he'd been paralyzed by the trauma of his own death; in those days after, he'd been rudderless and without direction, unable to see what laid beyond giving justice to those who had betrayed him. Staying at the Wall was unthinkable after all that had happened, but there had been nowhere else for him to go; now, he rules half of Westeros and cares for the well being of his people almost as much as he cares for Margaery herself. That passion is something else that they share -- a desire to see some good done to the realm, to see stability and a just ruler sit the iron throne. He was not greedy; Jon cared not for the Iron Throne, but it may very well be necessary to take it, at least for a time, to ensure the people of their realm are united.

Jon drank in the breathless whimpers of enjoyment that she let loose, smiling shakily as his eyes watched her with intense fascination. He knew that neither of them would achieve anything approaching gratification like this; they were too close to one another, too wild with desire to find their hands and fingers to be satisfactory, not when they were this close. With each motion, his lust sharpened more, becoming a fine point that pierced through all other thought and needs. His want was growing, slowly becoming incapable of being tamed; already, he could feel his body urging him to pounce on her, to sate both their lust in the best way he knew how. "So you do know what kind of games I have in mind." Under his breath, Jon chuckled softly. Truly, he wouldn't mind losing every time if their games ended like the last one had.

"No," his lips curved into a playful smile and, abruptly, his hands seized hers by the wrists, holding them tight. Jon pressed a soft kiss to each palm. "Else it'd be chains and manacles binding your wrists in place instead of my fingers." There were too many that believed smuggling her out of King's Landing entitled them to some say in her future; Jon had tried to put a stop to it where he could, affording her every luxury that one could afford a guest here, but some men were blind to even the most obvious things. Margaery's future was her own. If she wished to depart for High Garden today, he would send as many men with her as she required to see her safe. Many disagreed might be dissatisfied, but Davos and Tormund both understood, even though they might have handled things differently. "You need not fear on that front." He kissed her palms again and grinned at her. "You are my other half, love. Nothing you will do will make me doubtful or suspicious of you. I can say that with certainty."

From some, that might be a reckless sentiment or foolhardy, but he knew the way their hearts were bound; to doubt her would be to doubt that and that he would not do.

"I could not trust a man that treats his son the way Randall Tarley treated Samwell. I have no intention of asking his aid." Sam still resided in Oldtown. He'd sent a letter to him recently, asking for his advice and for his travel to Winterfell when able, but he'd yet to hear back. Sam was no warrior, but the more people he had that could be trusted to give true council, the better they all were. "As you say," he nodded in agreement, seeing the sense in that. "None will know the Reach near so well as you do. Then I shall go with you. Once the Riverlands are taken, my men would have to wait for our return as it is. I'd feel better knowing that we'd cut off Cersei's reserves before we even think about marching towards King's Landing." It was all fine reasoning, but, in truth, he did not want her far from his side, couldn't let her leave him so soon, especially if, as they suspected, their negotiations would end with a betrothal or a marriage.

Such a statement would have shocked him, once, but he'd conspired to end Mance Rayder in his own tent to keep him and his Free Folk from breaking through the Wall. He saw the sense in what she proposed. "Cersei is not warrior, either. She will not march into battle. There are crimes for her to answer to. If we could find someway to seize her and drag her from the city in secret, then we'd win. She has no other allies with the power to hold King's Landing." And once they had her, she could be tried for her crimes.

Politics ceased mattering a moment later. His skin prickled at the sound of her gasping, a pleased smile settling on to his face, just before he made a very similar sound, soft and sudden, as her fingers closed around his cock. When she broke their kiss, he nearly chased it, eyes gleaming with desire in the firelight, teeth gently chewing on his lower lip once he noticed her pulling further away. A shiver of anticipation slammed into him as realization dawn and the heat that blazed inside him, reflected in his gaze, seemed to become amplified several fold. He held his breath without realizing it and shuddered, the sight of her wetting her lips as arousing as any kiss or touch, fingers tucking an errant strand of hair behind her ear in that moment just before her lips slid past the head of his cock.

His legs tensed and he moaned her name loudly as the wet heat of her mouth enveloped him, head rolling back for a moment before he returned to level a hungry gaze on her eyes.

Although they'd never spoken after he'd taken his crown, Jon knew Robb and knew that his brother had never once truly considered the possibility of taking the Iron Throne for himself. He had been raised up as King in the North by his leal bannermen, true, but that had not been something that he'd asked for, no more than Jon had asked for the same. Still, had he set his sights upon it and sent word to House Tyrell asking for their support in the endeavor and more still, perhaps things would have ended differently. Perhaps it would have been Robb abed with her tonight while he froze on the Wall. Northmen like himself had no interest in septs or iron chairs, but Robb had learned much of the southron ways thanks to his mother. All Jon knew of them came from Maester Luwin, his friends and brothers on the Wall, and soon, Margaery herself. It was strange, then, that he might yet need to take it to end the bloodshed; ruling south and north had no appeal to him, but an important question remained: once Cersei Lannister had been deposed, who would rule in her stead?

"That we do." His voice was deceptively soft, breath having hitched sharply in his throat, as his body was filled to brimming with torrent of lust. He needed her, and not just her hand regulating the strength and speed of his stroking, but all of her: he needed the warmth of her kisses as she brushed them against his skin; he needed the softness of her body against his, two forms moulding perfectly neither; and he needed the tightness of her cunt surrounding him, welcoming his arousal and urging him on to release. What she offered now was a fine way to fire up his desire, but he would never truly be sated until he was inside her in some way.

His teeth were exposed by the fierceness of the grin that he presented her, leaning in close so that their foreheads pressed together and their lips hovered less than an inch from one another. He could peer into her eyes and lose himself this way. "My hands would rather be on you than elsewhere, so we're well matched in that regard. Let's leave behind cold iron, then." His grin widens and he erases what gap remains, pressing a searing kiss to her mouth, teeth nipping lightly at her lips as lust slowly begins to overwhelm what sense remains them. Her words bring another smile to his face and his hands release their grip, favoring a gentle caress of his fingers along her cheek. "I know. I would never believe you capable of such a thing, my love. We are one."

Her idea was, unsurprisingly, a good one. Jon hummed in thought, considering Sam for a long moment, brows drawn together in thought. "Perhaps. He was very glad to be going to Oldtown to become a Maester, but... Sam has a sense of duty very much like my own. I have heard rumors of men that went to the Citadel for a time, though, before leaving to do something else with their lives. And it would be one less set of vows he must take." Like most of the brothers of the Night's Watch, Sam had discarded one vow in particular with little care. "I will be separated from the larger portion for a time already," he responded with a gentle shrug of his shoulders, "If I must extend that a little, it will be fine. Lords will always scheme, but this group is loyal enough." Davos would keep them in line.

If Cersei Lannister were to perish in their attempts to safely tear her down from power, Jon would not shed a single tear. He would gladly welcome the destruction of what remained of House Lannister. It was a northern thing, this desire for vengeance upon those who had wronged them, but she deserved no less than utter annihilation for the death and destruction she had wrought upon this kingdom.

This was new, for him. Ygritte had never used her mouth on him. That merely served to heighten his arousal, to know that he still had something new he could experience for the first time with her. His eyes, a black darker than smoke, watched her, eyelids drooping from the lust that tumbled about inside, teeth worrying his bottom lip. The contact between the heated flesh of her tongue and the rigidness of his cock sent sparks of pleasure up the shaft, girth twitching it's approval inside her mouth, and his lips parted as a throaty, ragged groan slid past them, the sensation of being fully inside her mouth nearly as good as being buried within her cunt. His fingers lightly grasped strands of hair as the rest of him trembled with a desire for more.
