Chapter 302: Catelyn and Petyr - II
Littlefinger's Brothel, King's Landing
POV of Catelyn Stark
"How can you say that? I never..." Catelyn said, but before she could finish, Petyr interrupted her by speaking again.
"I'm just telling the truth, Cat. Yes, it was something we really shouldn't have done. But we were both drunk. You were stressed after what happened with the prince and Sansa, and I've been stressed lately with all the duties I've been under since the Hand of the King hasn't been chosen yet."
"But…" She began to speak again, but Petyr interrupted her again.
"It was a mistake, Cat. An innocent mistake we both made. I wish it had never happened, but it's done. What do you expect me to do? I can't change the past. It's best to pretend it never happened and move on with our lives. You should drink this orange juice now. It will help your headache," he said as he held out his glass of fruit juice again.
This time, Catelyn reached out and took the glass from Petyr's hand. She drank the sweet and sour juice and said to him, "How am I supposed to face Ned?"
"I don't think you should say anything to Lord Stark. You know he'll punish you if he finds out. Everyone knows Lord Stark broke his oath to you in the past and returned to Winterfell with a bastard in his hands. I don't think he has the right to punish you. Consider the two of you even and live as if everything is normal." Petyr said.
"Don't talk about Ned like that..." She immediately spoke up to defend Ned.
"You may not like what I say, Cat. But that doesn't change the truth," Petyr said, and Catelyn had no answer.
Besides, she still hadn't fully forgiven Ned for breaking his oath to her in the past and bringing a bastard into their home with him.
Perhaps, as Petyr had suggested, it would be best to pretend nothing had happened.
Besides, if this incident came to light, it would cost her and House Stark dearly. It would be in her best interest to forget this matter and pretend it never happened.
"And… what if I get pregnant?" she asked in a low voice. It was embarrassing for her to discuss her pregnancy with a man other than her husband. Then she added, "I can't buy Moon Tea from somewhere and ask someone else to buy it for me. It would raise too much suspicion."
He took the glass from her and gave her a smile. It looked different for some reason. Less warm.
"Don't worry. I've already prepared Moon Tea for you. I also had your clothes cleaned. Your Moon Tea will be ready while you take a bath and put on your clean clothes. By the way, how are you feeling now? I hope you're less stressed after our activity yesterday."
"Petyr. I don't want you to talk about this. Nothing happened between us yesterday," she said in a serious voice.
Her stress had gone down, but she didn't want to show weakness to others. Even her own friend.
"The tourney will start in a few hours." Petyr said, "You have to hurry, or the Queen will notice your absence. I'll save a seat for you and your daughter there."
"Thank you, Petyr," she said, wondering who was hosting this tourney.
The King himself was always too drunk for such matters, and there was no Hand of the King.
She looked at her childhood friend and suddenly realized that, in the absence of the Hand and the King, it would fall to the Master of Coins to oversee such matters.
Petyr had come a long way from being the heir of a small keep in the Fingers to being the Master of Coins for the Crown.
"Of course, if you want to relieve some more stress, I can help you. We still have some time. I don't remember too much, but last night seemed pretty enjoyable." Petyr said suddenly.
"What?" Catelyn said in surprise as a few memories from yesterday flashed through her mind, causing her body to get aroused.
What she didn't know was that the orange juice she had just drunk contained some aphrodisiac, although not as strong as the one she had drunk yesterday.
"Neither of us can remember what happened yesterday, can we? So you haven't exactly taken your revenge on Lord Stark, have you? I'm sure Lord Stark was perfectly sane when he broke his oath to you. Perhaps he remembers the past quite clearly even today. Perhaps he remembers his past affair in your bed at night while he fucks you." Petyr said in a whispering tone as his face came closer to Catelyn's.
Even though Petyr had fucked Catelyn in many positions yesterday, her lack of full consciousness ultimately left him feeling unsatisfied.
He wanted Catelyn to fuck him consciously, and for her to recall those memories every time she looked at Lord Stark's face.
Catelyn's thoughts, now, under the influence of the aphrodisiac and Petyr's words, were racing through her mind.
In one of these thoughts, Ned was fucking another woman whose name he hadn't even told her to this day.
In another, he was remembering that woman in his mind as he fucked Catelyn in his bed at night.
And in another, the pleasurable memories of her affair with Petyr yesterday.
'No, I shouldn't do this,' she thought, but her lustful body and wet cunt spoke otherwise. Then she noticed Petyr's face in front of her, their lips just centimeters apart.
"Petyr... we shouldn't do this," she said, but her voice came out much weaker than she intended.
"Shh..." Petyr's fingers were placed over her lips before she could say anything more, stopping her from speaking. "We've already done that, Cat. We just don't remember it well. And we won't get another chance to remember. Because from tomorrow on, we'll both pretend this day never happened."
Then he pulled back his fingers and brought his lips to hers. Her mind converged with the pleasure his lips were giving her and the pleasure of yesterday's memories, and Catelyn no longer resisted, returning Petyr's kiss.
'Ned, since you've done this to me in the past, it's okay for me to do it too, right? After all, it's just a one-time thing. Tomorrow, both Petyr and I will forget everything. Besides, we already did it yesterday, today is just to remember yesterday..."
