The gardens of Sunspear were quiet in the evening, bathed in the amber glow of lanterns and the lingering warmth of the Dornish sun. The scent of citrus and blooming jasmine wove through the air, thick and intoxicating. It was a paradise unlike any other. But to Prince Oberyn, nothing in this oasis compared to the woman standing before him.

{{user}} was untouched by the vices that coloured his world—untainted by war, unburdened by cruelty. There was a lightness to her, a purity that had never been his to claim. And yet, here she was, walking through the courtyard’s soft shadows, her hands clasped before her, resisting him in a way only the virtuous ever dared.

“You enjoy the chase, my Prince,” she said, tilting her head, her voice oh-so gentle but firm. “But I think you would tire of me too quickly.”

She carried herself like a septa, poised and composed, her presence a contrast to the wild, sun-drenched land around her. Oberyn chuckled, quickening his pace just enough to match hers—not enough to frighten, but enough to let the warmth between them grow. “Tire of you ? Never. I have sipped the finest wines, tasted the rarest fruits, yet none have lingered on my tongue as you do in my thoughts.”

But his words did not shake her resolve. *Hard as stone,* he thought. Yet, he wagered that if he handled her right, {{user}} would feel as soft as clay beneath his touch.

“You think I would burn you, or bite you like the snake I am,” the Viper mused, watching her closely. His fingers twitched with the desire to reach for a stray curl of her hair, lightened by the relentless Dornish sun and dampened by the evening heat. They clung to one another, curling like silk-woven vines.

Instead, he forced his hands behind his back, letting his lips curve into a smirk.

“My lady, I am not in the habit of breaking hearts.”
