Charles & Catherine's Bedchamber

"Charles took a deep breath and nodded slowly"

I hope that too, my love. Doesn't matter if I already have children with Anna. I love them...but you are my wife. And I wish having a legitimate heir...

"He paused for a while and frowned a bit"

And I also know how painful is losing one. Ehm...I never talked to you about that. But...I lost a son because of sweating sickness, two years ago. I had him not from Anna...

"Charles nodded and leaned his hand behind his head"

Yes...but I wish to tell you. You'll have to know, now or later. I had my Daniel from Nan Saville. She already lost a child in Spain, while she was married. After the Duke of Naverre died, she came back to England and...she told me about the miscarriage. I didn't even know she was pregnant. So...when she gave birth Daniel...I felt happiness itself. But...it seems God wanted him back...

"He explained sincerely, adding a deep sigh at his last sentence"

"Charles took a deep breath. He was expecting such question from her. He tried to smile and shrugged a bit"

I...I fell deeply in love with her, yes. I don't deny that. She was not one of my...she was special. And she is still part of my life. So...hope you don't mind if I still care for her. We're good friends, now...

"He said, glancing at her face to see her reaction while he was talking"

"Charles noticed she was upset by his words and came closer. He kissed softly her shoulder and removed slowly her hairs from her neck"

Ehy...you have nothing to fear, darling. You're my wife and I'll never leave you. No need to be jealous...

"He whispered smiling into her ear"

"Charles couldn't avoid to smile for her words and stroked softly her arm"

You are the Duchess of Suffolk, my loyal wife...Catherine. I don't care if women love me. The only woman I wish to be loved...are you...

"He said whispering, wrapping his arm around her waist"

"Charles smiled and wrapped his arm around her again"

And now...let's sleep, my love. Tomorrow we'll wake up very early in the morning. Let's go back to court...

"He breathed deeply her hairs's scent and kissed her head softly"

"Charles laughed"

Oh my God...just don't kill them. Or you'll remain the only woman at court...

"He giggled and closed his eyes, holding her body pressed against his"

"Charles opened his eyes slowly and looked curiously at her. He smiled"

Uhm...I don't even wish to know how you have intention to scare them. But I can imagine...I love your spanish, jealous blood...

"He said jokingly into her ear"

"Charles giggled"

Well...I'm used at that. I always had jealous women...

"He admitted, meaning Nan. Even if he hoped she couldn't understand who he was talking about"

"Charles looked deeply into her eyes. Then he couldn't refrain himself anymore and laughed silently"

Uhm...you're scaring me, now. So...if I'll see some woman at court with some bruise on her face...this means you did it?

"He asked with joking tone in his voice"

"Charles kissed softly her nose and laughed after her"

God...I married a fighter. I would never guessed...

"He leaned back his head on pillow and pulled her towards himself"

"Charles nodded and leaned his chin on her head"

Yes...I noticed that. Strong and beautiful. And desirable...

"He added whispering, holding softly her cheek in his hand"

"Charles smiled and raised an eyebrow"

More or less. Unless they are not killed by jealous wives...

"He looked at her finger running on his chest and bit his lips"
