Girls' Dormitory

I am going to enforce a rule about the girls dorms and that is that they're are NO MEN allowed. If you are caught you will be discharged immediately. The same thing goes with the mens dorms. You are not to bring women into your rooms. This is not a brothel that I'm running here.

It is halfway through May 1527 and already Catherine as disobeyed the commands of the good hearted Dowager for the past 3 nights. She knows not of the consequences of her actions, I pray for us all not to be punished for her actions if they were to come to light.
It is not the fact that she entertains the likes of Dereham and Waldegrave, It's how she does not listen to myself, which I thought by now we had grew to be the best of friends. This will all end tragically and even though my warnings fall on deaf ears I cannot press the matter onto her with greater sorrow then I already have.
The Dowager as made it clear that the Girls' Dormitory is strictly forbidden to all men, So therefore I shall try one last night to plead with her for if she will not listen I fear we shall all perish.

Joan, Joan, don't worry nothing can happen,just say nothing okay?

Ofcourse I should never go against you Catherine, just please becareful.

I shall be careful dear Joan.. believe me, the duchess shall be none the wiser! And I know I can trust you to keep quiet of these matters... You are my best friend in the whole world!

You can always count on me dearest Catherine and we shall always be the bestest of friends.

I hug Joan and giggle excitedly. "Of course we shall be best friends, until our dying day! Oh, and I forgot! Edward Waldegrave has mentioned an interest in you.. he says you are as fair as a pure white rose." I wink conspiratorily. "What do you say? Would you mind him visiting you, while Francis visits me?" I cock my head to the side, eyes glinting with amusement.

I am here is my best friend Katherine Howard

Joan, my dearest and best friend! I'm here and ready for some excitement!

It was so late! I had to sneak back into the dormitory, tiptoeing across the floor, my shoes in my hand, picking up the hem of my skirt so as not to make even a brushing sound against the stone. As I quietly opened the door to the chamber I looked about and found Joan waiting up in bed.

"Joan!" I whispered in excitement. I hurried over to the bed, throwing myself atop it and giving her a hug. "I hope I did not keep you up too long! Oh but I have exciting news to give you!"

Joan sat up in relief to see Catherine. "Good god Catherine, where have you been!" she said angered yet happy to see her.

I laid out on the bed and stretched mIy arms in relaxation. "I've been in Heaven, Joan!" I sat up and looked at her, my head tilted. "Now, do not be cross with me, I will tell you where I've been, and with whom... but you must promise not to tell anyone, ever!" I said, holding out my finger for a pinky promise.

Joan looked at her and wondered what kind of mischief she had been up too. She held out her pinky finger and linked it with hers. "Now tell me, where were you and with whom?" she asked excited to know.

I sighed and smiled, feeling the blush rise in my cheeks. "Do you remember that little cottage we used to go to, out in the woods? I went there tonight, with Henry Manox our music instructor." I giggled. "Oh, Joan, I have lain with him!"

Joan smiled and nodded as spoke then was taken back when she heard she had laid with him. "You lost your maiden head to him?" she asked shocked "Are you going to continue to lay with? what if the duchess finds out she will throw you out, you have nowhere to go!" She said worried

I smiled attempting to look discreet but I could feel a grin spreading across my face. "I did give him my maidenhead. and I regret it not at all! He is so handsome, Joan! And he's so.. passionate!" I burst into another fit of giggles. "Oh, the duchess will never find out, she hardly knows what sort of antics we get onto anyway. I think she is more concerned about her court life than our lives."

Joan's eyes opened wide. She was stunned to hear of this news. She then giggled and put her hand to her mouth. "Kitty you little minx! I can't believe you." She said as she took her hand and led her to a corner so they could speak without waking any of the other girls up. "So...how was it?"

I smiled and leaned against the wall, holding my arms as I remembered Henry's tenderness and his passion. "Oh it was so wonderful! I cannot begin to describe the sensuality, the heat, the overwhelming pleasure! Of course it hurt at first, it's supposed to. But after that it was so passionate! We have made plans to meet again, for as long as we can. Oh, I am so lucky.." I stopped and looked at Joan. "Soon you will understand. You are too pretty not to be taken notice of! One day we will have plenty of lecherous stories to trade!" I laughed.

Joan listened to Catherine and envied her at first, then tried to envision what it was like to lay with a man, especially a man like master Manox. "Oh Kitty, I envy you!" She said as she bit her nails. "How did you seduce him?" She asked wondering how clever she really was.

I smiled coyly, twirling a lock of hair around my finger. "It was an instant mutual attraction, and during our music lesson I mentioned my love of dancing, and I danced for him. Then he kissed me." I sighed. "He was afraid to go further, thinking we would be found out. He was not hard to seduce, he was lustful at the thought of my virginity.." I then trailed off, wondering if I'd be of any more interest to him now that he'd taken what he wanted. "And anyway, he says he wants to keep me for always." I liked bragging to Joan, even if I wasn't entirely sure about my standing with Henry.

Joan smiled and wondered if she could seduce him just as easily. "What did his naked body look like?" wanting to know as much as possible.

I giggled naughtily at her question, and quickly quieted as I didn't want to wake anyone. "Oh he has broad shoulders, a perfectly muscled chest, and... his manhood.." I knew myself to be blushing again. "It was.. very nicely proportionate!" I said as I measured the length with my two hands, erupting into giggles again.

Joan bit her bottom lip as Kitty explained Henry's body. Her mouth then dropped as looked to Catherine's hands as she envisioned what his manhood looked like. She put her hands over her mouth to stop from giggling "He is a very handsome man." She said still wondering what his manhood looked like. "Did you touch it?" she asked knowing the next time she saw him that was going to be the only thing on her mind.
