July 108AC

As they strolled through the gardens of the palace, Aurelia couldn't help but feel the weight of her duties on her. Danae was inconsolable these days and she no longer knew what to do, yet as she looked over at Jamie, she couldn't help but feel a spark of desire.

It had been too long since they spent time alone. Her duties at the nursery consumed most of her time and if not, then the Princesses wished for her company. And Jamie was training more than ever, in preparation for the day he would ask the King to become Danae's shield.

As they reached a secluded spot in the garden, Aurelia felt a flutter in her chest as Jamie took her hand, leading her towards a nearby tree. Her heart was racing as he pulled her behind the tree, pressing her against the rough bark.

"I can't resist you any longer," he whispered, his breath warm against her skin. "You're always on my mind, Aurelia."

Aurelia felt a thrill run through her as he leaned in to kiss her, his lips soft and insistent. She responded eagerly, even as she tried to push aside the nagging thought of her responsibilities. She could be selfish for a moment.

Jamie's hands roamed over her body, tracing the curve of her waist and pulling her closer to him. Aurelia felt a thrill run through her as she tangled her fingers in his hair, her body melting into his embrace.

She pushed herself away from the tree, pressing her body against Jamie's and deepening the kiss with a hunger that had been building between them for weeks. He slid his hands into her bodice and grappled for her nipples. When he found them, he teased them with light pinches. She let out a long, soft moan and he grunted in response, pressing harder against her, his solid groin bumping against her leg. She moaned again, feeling his length against her.

Jamie responded eagerly, his hands trailing down to her hips and pulling her even closer. Aurelia felt a moan escape her lips as their bodies melted together. For a while, they lost themselves in the heat of the moment, lost in the passion that had been building between them for weeks. But as they finally pulled away, Aurelia couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

"Jamie, we can't keep doing this," she murmured, even as her body begged for more.

"I know," he sighed, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "But I can't help myself when I'm with you."

Aurelia knew that he was right. They both had their duties to attend to, and their illicit encounters could jeopardize everything they had. But as she looked into Jamie's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for more.

When she was on her way to Princess Viserra's chambers, she stumbled upon Alicent. Though, she wouldn't have expected to see her slipping out the King's chambers.
