Mary Sheldon Bedchambers

He sighed, "I can't Mary-not in England," his lips grazed against hers as he spoke.

He paused and cupped her face in her hands, "Belle Mary, I would not risk your reputation..nor my own for that matter."

He tossed her curls behind her back and his lips touched her neck, "But in France..."he began and kissed her, "We shall have time to enjoy one another."

"I have felt different sense I have been with you. In s good way."She said as she bit her bottom lip to his touch.

He smiled and lingered by her jaw, his hands travelling from her cheeks, to her neck and finally resting at her waist.

"Vous êtes entièrement belle," he whispered with a low moan, his eyes now fixed on the sheer gown between him and her body. Je me demande ce que la courbe de son seine ressemblerait..comment je tiens à la déshabiller maintenant

He paused and stood back, "No. Visit me soon. I do not trust myself tonight-especially not with you in that dress."

"I feel like we where met to be."She said softly as her head laid on his chest.

He smiled and wrapped her in his arms, kissing lightly her hair.

"I'll go, for tonight," he said reluctantly and collected his dagger from the door and attached it to his belt. He kissed her again with a smile, "Sleep, belle-we shall meet again very soon."

He lingered by the door, "You are really one of the most beautiful women I have seen."

She blushed before running to the door to him."Sleep well my love."She said kissing him softly on the lips.

He grinned and paused-he could not help himself and kissed her again. He then touched her pink cheek softly before leaving the room.

She stood there watching him leave before closing the door.

Mary was just in time before the door closes "Cousin Mary." she smiles as she greets her cousin with her arms open

She turned and hugged her cousin Mary."Oh cousin Mary."She said with a smile on her face.

Mary walks in the room and looks around "You are well I presume?" she plops on a couch and rests her tired feet on a foot rest

"I am well and you dear cousin?"She asked sitting next to her cousin.

"I am, thank you" Mary smiles "May I ask about the gentleman that I passed in the hall?" She sits up as she mentions Mary's gentleman

"He is the French Ambassador." She said to Mary.

"Oh." Mary rises an eyebrow as she smiles "Is the courtship secret?"

"Maybe."She said biting her bottom lip.

"Perhaps you should keep it a secret." Mary touches her cousin's hand "You may never know what will happen when word gets out."

"He is so sweet and kind."She said blushing.

"If you want to keep your love secret, I suggest limiting the visitation." Mary takes out a small portrait out of her pocket "This a Soldier that I love really dearly. I try to keep our love from the family." she puts the portrait to her heart "If Anne, Papa or anybody knows about this, we could be separated and I will be forced to marry." she says as she fixes her cousin's hair "He does look like a sweet and gentle person."

"What if he asked to court me to Anne or even the king. Will it be wrong then?"She asked Mary.

"I think it will be alright if he asked Anne." Mary puts the portrait back in her pocket "After all, he is in a high status. I guess I'm wrong about what I said." she looks back at her cousin

"I will bring it up to him."She said with a smile.

Mary knocks on her cousin's door "Are you there, Cousin Mary?"

Mary quickly stood up."Come in Mary." She said looking at the door.

Mary opens the door "Cousin Sheldon." She says with a wide smile while extending her arms "How do you fare as of late?"
