Winning The King's Affections

The King's Sweetheart

1529

"I have a gift for you,my love" Henry said to me, the sun hitting his dark hair making it looking like chocolate. I raised my brow and said "What is it?" He took my hand and led me to a secluded alcove of the gardens, once hidden, he grabbed from his cloak a relvet small box.

He opened it and it was a beautiful diamond necklace, I felt myself gasp, it was one of Lady Anne's jewles, i didn't think he would ever think about giving me such a expensive necklace. Henry smiled at me and said "A diamond for my diamond" I forced myself to smile and said "Oh thank you,my love"

He placed the necklace on my neck, i felt his breath on my neck,it was coming fast,I knew the close proximity was too much for him and that he had been longing to have me, i turned a bit,his eyes never left my neck, I felt his desire for me.

I felt his lips on my ear, his touch sending shivers to my spin,I gave him my lips,trying my best not to compare it with Harry's kiss. I still remember the pain and despair in his eyes when i told him that Henry propsed to me. Even though it has been two weeks, it still haunts me.

Quickly, it turned passionate,but i felt nothing,not even a glint of surprise or desire or pleasure. I did my best and tried to copy the passion he had, but it was hard. His hand went from my waist to my cheeks,my thighs as he pushed me into a tree. His lips went to my neck and suddenly,i felt a bit of pleasure, i didn't think it was possible.

"Oh,Catarina, you are so enchanting" he moaned as he kept kissing and sucking my neck, as if it was a caramel he so desired, I knew i should not let him have too many liberties, but i wonder if i did give him a bit more and stop at the instant, if it would make him give up Lady Anne and marry me faster.

I tried it, I let his fingers move from my thigh to the beads of my neckline which accentuated my breasts, i know he desires me and my body, I whispered "I am yours to command,my King" my voice seductive as possible. I saw his eyes blaze with lust and he lowered his head and he began suckiling me.

I felt desire in me stir again, perhaps i could be happy with him even though it is not my beloved Harr- i can't and won't ever mention him. I threw my head back,feeling the oak behind my hair, "When will you give yourself to me?" Henry moaned, i shook my head and said "Henry, once you make sure i am the only one in your heart and when we are married, i will give myself to you"

"Catarina, we are engadged and soon my marriage to Catherine will be anulled, what else do you want?" His voice was now one of frusteration and longing, I pulled him away and said "I want to be the only one, to be the only one in your heart and thoughts"

"But you are!" Henry cried in longing, He seemed to me a wild animal, the brief desire and pleasure i felt was now gone, I took his hands in mine and said "You have to be patient, if you are and your advisors find a way to anull your marriage to Catherine invaild, and with a bit more work and convincing, we can marry"

Henry sighed and said "What do you mean?" He is a fool, for someone who is remarked to be the most enlightended and most inteligent prince in Christendom, surely he knows what a women means when she wants to be the only one,right? I smiled at him and said "You know what i mean"

Just then, he said "Come with me" I nodded and i let him lead me to the stables. I was confused why he would take me here. He signled a stable boy and said "Bring me my sweetheart's gift i ordered" The boy looked at me then back at Henry and nodded.

"What are you up to?" I asked,he chuckled and said "It is a surprise,then i will take you to another surprise. I want my sweetheart to be happy" I nodded, just then,the boy returned with a black,gorgeous steed. I was shocked and i did a show of putting my hands on my chest as if i was so surprised and eternally grateful.
