Winter Garden

Anne looked at Henry. She was ready for all the rumors between Thomas and her and she knew that Henry was at her side

"And do you believe any of them to be true?"

Anne smiled. Henry believed her completely. It was a good thing for her. Charles was not dangerous enough anymore because Henry did not believe him anymore. Especially about the rumors which concerns her.
Anne looked at him and she kissed him deeply



"I suppose you banished Duke from the court?"

Henry's smile was so warm and reassuring. They began to walk together. Anne was holding his hand.



Anne was happy but she was still thinking about their marriage and.. that woman.. She tried to forget her for a moment and smiled with Henry's words.



"I'm glad. You know my sentiments toward France. But forgive me, what's this got to do with me?"

Anne stood up again and she smiled.

"Thank you Your Majesty. You made me so happy.. I want to come to your bedroom tonight. We can play the cards and talk"

Anne kissed him and smiled deeply. There were something to talk with him. They started to walk again.

William arrived at winter garden later. The moon was already high in the sky. And he was standing there, surrounded by white snow, wandering if Juliet would come. Maybe he has been too bold, maybe she was scared by his attentions. But he couldn't help thinking about her young beauty. He wrapped himself in his coat, looking towards Palace to see if someone was walking towards him

Juliet had known that it would be chilly outside this time of the year so she bundled up in her favorite coat and noticed how pink her cheeks were in the mirror as she prepared to meet him. After grabbing her gloves she headed straight out to the garden. It was lovely how the light was glinting off the snow, it actually didn't feel that cold and then she spotted him. He was standing there alone waiting for her and without a thought she picked up the trail of her dress so she could run over to him. William, I hope I've not kept you waiting long, you're not cold are you? She asked as she pulled off one glove to touch his face and the moment she touched him a shiver of delight ran through her whole body.

William held his breath as he saw her arriving. She looked even more beautiful than he remembered. Her hand on his cheek made him feel warmer. He smiled staring at her

Not at all..I'm warmer, now that you're here, Juliet. Thank you for coming here despite cold weather. But I had to see you..

He took her hand on his cheek and kissed it softly and sowly. She agreed him to be her suitor, and thia meant a lot to him. And in spite of he was cold, he removed his coat placing it upon her shoulders

I won't forgive myself if you'll get a cold because of me. Because a man...much older than you, who desires to be your suitor. And maybe...something more, in the future. Juliet, you are so young and so attractive...you'll have so many suitors..are you sure about your choice?

He asked with warm voice

Juliet loved the feel of his warm skin under her hand and she smiled hearing how much he wanted to see her. I have been looking forward to seeing you again too, I haven't met anyone like you. She watched him kiss her hand, that kiss felt amazing and it made her whole body tingle with excitement.

Won't you be cold? She had to ask when he draped his coat over her shoulders, instantly she was surrounded by the scent of him. I don't want you to get cold.

When he asked if she was sure she wanted to be courted by him Juliet stepped closer to him and gazed up at him with her blue eyes wide. I know you are older than me but I like being with you. And I think that I am starting to fall in love with you. She admitted. Are you sure you want me?

William stared in silence at her after she admitted that she was falling for him. He took her cold hand in his, not knowing what to say

Juliet...I think I0ve never wanted something more in my life. I think about you all the time..so yes, not only I'm sure. But I think I'm madly in love for you as well. Your words...made me so happy, I just hope to be worthy of you..

He kissed her hand never removing his eyes from hers, noticing she was shaking a bit. His glance fell on her lips

Am I allowed to kiss you...Juliet?

He finally asked, since he couldn't wait to feel her lips on his, and her body against his

When he took her hand into his own again Juliet felt her heart racing and then hearing that he felt the same way about her she smiled brightly. She stepped closer to him as she watched him kiss her hand. At his question she moved towards him. Yes you may kiss me William, I've wanted you to kiss me since the first night we met.

Now she reached to run her hands down his chest as she stared at him with her blue eyes wide eager for him to kiss her.

William felt his heart racing hearing the sound of her voice. He couldn't believe she wanted to be kissed by him. Whitout breaking their eyes contact, he stepped closer until he hold her waist with his strong arms. And as he leaned on her, he met his lips with hers very softly, with closed eyes. In just one istant, he felt in paradise. He couldn't even feel cold around them. Her smooth lips made him feel a sort of excitement as well, making him desire more

Her blue eyes widened as William came closer, the feel of his strong hands on her waist made her shiver with delight and she closed her eyes. Feeling his lips brushing over her made her gasp then immediately kiss him back not wanting to stop. She had never felt anything close to this, her arms went around his neck as she eagerly kept kissing him.

William kissed her with more passion as he noticed she was replying to his kiss. So he hold her in his arms tightly while they were tasting each other lips. As they stopped, he stared at her eyes

Oh Juliet...I'm madly in love with you. I want you more than everything else. But I also know that I must have respect...about your virginity. I promise I'll never put your reputation in danger. And in case you'll accept to marry me, I'll be patient until our wedding night. You are too precious to me..

He added whispering into her ear, still not believing that she loved him back

Kissing him was like nothing she had ever dreamed of and Juliet wanted it to never end. Her whole body was shivering with his touch. When he pulled back she smiled breathlessly at him. Forgive me for wishing you'd keep kissing me like that here and now, I want to wait to give myself yo you but now all I want is to kiss you and see what comes next.

She was not completely naive to the ways between a man and a woman but she had never kissed anyone but him. Now her whole body felt alive and she knew it was going to be hard to wait.

William looked ravished at her. She was so beautiful, and he couldn't stop staring at her innocent face

No one desires to show you what comes next more than me, Juliet. I really want you. And...if you don't care about waiting, I'll make you mine whenever you wish, my beautiful Juliet..

As he finished the sentence, he took her in his arms again and kept on kissing again, with even more passion than before. His hands still placed on her hips, and while he closed his eyes tasting her lips, he was dreaming about seeing her without gowns, just wearing her jewels

Every time he kissed her Juliet wanted more, more of his kisses and much more of his touch. Being in his arms made her feel alive in ways she had never even expected. When he mentioned not waiting she blushed happily. She knew that he was the one she wanted to marry and be with so she didn't care if they waited or not.

I don't need to wait any longer, you are the only one that I want and I am longing for you to show me what comes next. I want you to make me yours. She told him then she eagerly returned his kisses and reached to put her hands on his chest.
