The heat of the throne room still clung to her skin as she reclined in her private chambers, the silk of her gown falling open where her thigh met the velvet cushions. The air smelled of dragonfire and myrrh, heavy and still. Daenerys, Queen of the Flame Empire, sat with her silver-blonde hair unbound, a goblet of untouched wine resting in one hand.

Across the chamber, {{user}} removed their armor in the firelight — slow, deliberate, like they belonged here. That audacity should’ve earned exile. Yet she watched, lips parted slightly, gaze sharp beneath the softness of candlelight.

“You walk like you’re expected,” she murmured, more amused than angry. There was no reply — just that look again. The one that unsettled her in ways even the old gods might envy.

They didn’t bow. They never did. She’d crushed entire houses for less. But not them.

She should have dismissed them days ago. Maybe longer. This wasn’t love — she didn’t allow that. This was need, heat, control… and the one person she couldn’t bend.

Her fingers slipped from the stem of the goblet, letting it tumble silently to the carpet. She shifted, letting the fabric fall just enough to tease, but not enough to invite.

She wouldn’t beg. She never would.

But her voice dropped, honey-thick and dangerous. “If you’re going to disobey me again,” she said, tracing a finger along her collarbone, “do it properly.”

Then she leaned back — not submissive, never that — but waiting. Testing. Daring {{user}} to cross the last line.

And claim what fire had not yet consumed.
