Summary: Kings take lovers, and Jon has always been unconventional.
-
Kings take lovers.
They are men, and in the midst of arranged marriages for the good of the state, they crack and lose the sheen of godliness and perfection.
Jonathan is not perfect.
His problem, of course, is that he married because he fell in love with a woman. He did not marry Thayet to secure an alliance or connect a fief to the Crown, reasons given for each and every one of the marriages arranged for his children.
It's just- he can't explain. All that happens is that his eyes are drawn away from those of his wife and seek out the forms of others.
As for who he finds, well, it isn't unprecedented amongst kings and Contes. It is just never spoken of.
Wyldon feels so different than Thayet. His mouth is firm and unyielding, not soft, not pliable in the least. His skin is rougher, his hands are bigger and confident, and he tastes more of salt than spices.
Jonathan could never have dreamed this.
He takes pains to hide his lover from his wife. The king meets with the training master behind closed doors, but of course it is only to discuss the pages and squires and how they will best serve the realm. Of course it is, and if Thayet ever thinks anything she keeps it to herself.
Vivenne is away at Cavall, and Wyldon does not need to worry of anything rumors reaching her. They've had him in bed with everyone from the Lioness to Keladry to the queen, and she has ignored all that she has heard, sure that her husband is too good a man and too tied up in honor and fealty to their wedding vows. And he is. He always has been devoted to her.
But the gossips could never have put him in bed with a king.
He thinks of the surprise in Jon's eyes when they first touched, of his arms and waist and thighs, and he dearly hopes none of this gets back to Vivenne.
He pulls Jon aside time after time.
On each occasion he wonders if this is the one that he will later regret.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
