She agrees to this... alliance, for now.

"I only pray you haven't gotten us all killed, Ned. Nor the realm." Catelyn said. "I'll go along with this. I suppose I have ****. But I'll not share a bed with this... queen of whores." And with that, Catelyn departed.

Eddard made to follow her, but Cersei stopped him with a hand.

"Leave her." Cersei insisted. "It will take time, but she'll learn to live with this."

"She's my wife..." Eddard protested.

"Well, she's not the only one now, is she?" Cersei smirked, the restraining hand moving lower, touching him more gently.

"Come with me." Cersei insisted. Just as when the Queen had climbed onto his cock that night, weeks ago, he was unable and unwilling to resist.

"Stannis will never forgive what we did, of course." Cersei said, pouring each of them a cup of heady red wine. "Renly either, I expect. Many within King's Landing, even those who outwardly smile and bend the knee to the King of Ice would see us murdered in our bed, as well."

"So it's to be war?" Eddard said, one hand massaging his temple. What Robert had been doing to Sansa was unforgiveable. He would end his former friend again if he had to. But it had put the realm on the edge of a knife...

"Perhaps, perhaps not. What's important is our unity. Stannis stands no chance against Lion and Wolf united, he knows this. No **** in the Seven Kingdoms does." Cersei argued, taking a draught of her wine.

Ned thoughtfully did the same. Gods it was strong.

"What is important now is bringing Catelyn into this. After, you should go to her, make her see that sharing a bed with me is no terrible punishment." Cersei advised, intriguingly biting her lip.

"After?" Eddard asked.
