SPOILER ALERT: This article will discuss events allegedly happening in the season finale of Game of Thrones.

There’s no denying that the sexual chemistry between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen has reached an all-time high in this season of Game Of Thrones, The Sun reports.

And things get a bit steamier in next week’s finale episode — according to the director of episode six Alan Taylor.

He told The Daily Beast: “There’s no secret that this is where this is going. Even the characters in this story know it’s heading in this direction. Tyrion is making fun of Dany about what’s brewing.

“So we knew it’s got to come at some point, and I was glad that I got to be there for a major step forward for them,” he said.

Fans will remember that last week Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Jon (Kit Harington) shared an intense moment aboard a ship back to Dragonstone, as he recovered from his battle with the White Walkers.

Jon called her “Dany”, and agreed to “bend the knee” and accept her as his Queen.

They even held hands as Dany promised she would help the King Of The North “fight the White Walkers together.”

Alan added: “The fact that they are starting to fall for each other is huge. It comes down to tiny moments and how they interact with each other.

“They’re holding hands and there’s this great look where she’s swooning and she steps back from it, but it’s clear that that’s our destination at this point.”

But there’s a major sticking point — Jon is thought to be the son of Daenerys’ brother Rhaegar which would make the Dragon Queen his aunt.

The director also responded to the episode’s most frustrating scene — when Jon Snow keeps fighting despite everyone waiting on the dragon so they can escape.

“If there were people that wondered that then maybe we screwed up,” he said.

“The intention was two things. One is that they’re climbing on the dragon and it’s a slow process. Their flank is unprotected and we see that there are whights coming towards them, so he had to battle those guys back. The other thing is that it is just very Jon Snow of him,” he laughed.

Series seven of the show ends next week with fans hoping that the eighth and final series will air next year.
