Historical romance: The Tudor Rose

17th May night time

I only have a few brief moments to write about the dinner so I must hurry. We sat down to a feast of goose and pheasant and all manner of puddings. We flirted and then in the middle of the evening I whispered into his ear "You are welcome in my chamber tonight." He stroked my knee in response for the whole night causing my insides to erupt. I feel so turned on by him right now I need to pounce. The potion is starting to work. I change into a fancy lace nightgown that mother has fashioned for my first time. Then I hear a soft infrequent tap at my window. I swiftly place my dressing gown on a move to the window. Then I see his face it's sad and drained and hotter than ever I cannot tame my feelings towards Fred but I can distance myself from him and make my feelings fade. I must go back to the way we were before when we were mean and cruel to each other. I open the window and hiss at him "what do you want?" But he climbs up the rose trellis. "If you come up then you will be hung! You can't enter my bed chamber uninvited it's immoral and and wron..." I am stopped by his lips upon mine all my feelings come back for him. He strokes my face and I melt into his palm. "I love you." He admits.

I push him away hurriedly.

"I do to but I must do this I must be with the king. My parents would never let me marry you. I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry." I whisper letting a tear slip from my face. He wipes it away.

"What happened to you? You used to care about love not all this." He whispers angrily gesturing wildly to the castle and all the wealth it holds.

"I grew up. I see things clearly now but I'm sorry that I had to hurt you on the way." I say before shutting the window. He mouths I love you and climbs back down. I am such a bitch how did I string him along like that giving him false hope?
"My lady the king would like a word with you in his chamber." Mabel tells me. I smooth my nightgown and take deep breaths. It's time.

I take steps towards his chambers slowly building up my confidence. I come to his door taking one last breath I put on my best smile. I curtesy and he tells me to arise. "Hello Eve. You are shining brightly like a star in the heavens will you come and sit next it me on this bed. Guards wait outside." He commands his guards whilst patting the bed.
"It is awfully warm in here do you mind if I remove my nightshirt?" He asks.
"I am also hot. What a beautiful summers evening!" I say removing my dressing gown so I am only wearing my lace night dress. He is perfectly sculpted with muscular arms and a toned stomach.

He kisses my neck and I moan in pleasure. "Do you like it?" He asks and I nod kissing him passionately on the lips. I quickly remove my nightdress so I am completely naked. He gasps. "Is there something the matter Edward?" I ask.
"Everything is perfect. I have never seen such a beautiful body. Can I have you?" He asks and I giggle meaning yes. He kisses me and ...

We wake up in each others arms. I kiss him to wake him up and he turns to me grinning. "That was the best night of my life." He says and I giggle before he kisses me again.
"Me to. You were amazing!" I laugh turning away going red. We caresses my cheek so that I turn back to face him. I kiss his hand.
"It is nothing to be embarrassed about." He suddenly sits up and pulls on his night shirt.
"What's the matter?" I ask worriedly. Then he sits at the side of my bed on one knee. He puts a ring on my finger and I gasp.
"Will you marry me Evelyn? I want to wake up with you every morning. I want you to bear our beautiful children. I want you to love me and guide me through being a king. But most importantly I will cherish every waking moment spent with you being my wife until my dying breath." He says smiling at me waiting for an answer.
