Entrance

The voyage had been long and hot but Mary had enjoyed it. For the first time in her life she had done exactly as she wanted and now she felt free in a way that she never dreamed of before. The other thing she had loved was getting to spend uninterrupted time with Anthony without any fear of them being discovered and she being dragged away from him. No she was able to relax while getting to know him better and each moment that she had been with him only made her more certain that she had made the right choice.

After leaving the ship the carriage ride had been long too but Mary just sat back gazing out the windows. When he helped her out of the carriage she widened her blue eyes looking around them. It was a rather dark place but something about it felt comforting to her. Turning to look at him she smiled, "I do not think that anyone will bother us here. We have this castle all to ourselves?" Then she laughed, "is it wrong that I want to go explore it?"

Mary smiled over at him at once. "I think this place is perfect, a hidden place where we can be free to do as we like while we get to know each other and do not worry about my father looking for me. He has other issues to deal with now that have taken his eyes off me for now." She pushed her blonde hair back and moved closer to Anthony. "I knew that you were one of the Kings men, my cousin has mentioned you before but she never told me you were so handsome.... or that just the sight of you might make me lose my heart."

Anthony wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling Mary comfortably next to his side. "It is rather easy for someone to confuse lust with love Mary. In some ways your family would be disappointed if you married a man like me. I would not want for us to live in squalor. " There were only two men Anthony could trust Charles and the king himself with his innermost feelings and secrets. If anything between Mary and Anthony developed further than they were the two. Who Anthony would confide in first.

"I know that I look very young and naive Anthony but trust me I know the difference between love and lust. I followed lust before, but this with you it feels different and you must care about me that you have gone to such great lengths so that we can spend time together without my family dragging me away." Mary said softly as she looked into his eyes. "I know what I want. I do not care about money, or titles or castles. I want to be with someone who I love that loves me back. My family's approval means nothing to me as they are only looking at the things that mean nothing to me." She grew bolder now knowing that there was no one here to bother them now. "I want to kiss you again and hold me in your arms while we get to know each other better. And Anthony, you should not speak of yourself like that. I would be honored if you wanted to marry me."

It was hard to not give in to his desires. Anthony had now realized that the young lady beside him, he actually respected more than his other dalliances. Strange that it took quite a few women to finally get to feel this way about someone. Growing rather hot and flustered by the little minx Anthony slid his hand around her hips bringing Mary close to him. For the briefest of moments Anthony wanted nothing more than to divulge his throbbing cock deep inside her but he couldn't. He was too connected to Mary to just have a few weeks in bed then moving on. What Anthony wanted was to make her his wife. His hands were on either side of her striking jawbones staring rather intimidating at Mary before he kissed her. Anthony pressed his lips harshly against her wanting to taste every ounce of her fiber in that briefest of moments. The kiss set of explosions inside of himself putting tastes to colors, even adding a smell of blossom. That was what Anthony smelt felt and saw when he kissed Mary.

With his hands on her cheeks while he stared at her Mary met his gaze not moving away from him. Everything in her told her that she was where she was supposed to be and her heart told her that this was where she was going to find what she had always dreamed of.... a man who loved her for exactly who she was and not her family's name or title. No Anthony was not a man she had ever dreamed would even look her way but now as he held her close she could feel her heart racing and an excitement race through her whole body making her want to stay with him forever. His mention of marriage before had made her hope that he was finally seeing her as a woman that he could spent his life with.

When he kissed her this time it was different than before, it was intense and she felt in through her whole body and she immediately kissed him back. Closing her eyes she leaned against him wrapping her arms around his waist wanting to keep him close to her. Not wanting to ever stop she kissed him again mirroring his intensity with her own feeling her whole body coming alive at his touch and just the thought of letting it lead to more made a small moan escape her lips.

Anthony slowly made his way down Mary's body. Pulling up her skirts he put his head between her legs. Slowly he used his tongue to lick up and down her opening. He would not fully take her until they were wed. But because they both needed to release some pent up lust. This would be the only solution for now.

Mary watched fascinated as Anthony made his way down her body and his touch was making her shiver with anticipation. She clutched at his hair when he dove under her skirts leaving her moaning loudly as he started to awaken a part of her that had been slumbering for far too long.

Anthony used his thumb to rub her warm, smooth inner thighs as his tongue slid inside her.

Mary closed her eyes then feeling his thumb caressing her and bit her bottom lip hard as she let the pleasure take her over. It didn't take long before she felt herself growing wet and her knees starting to shake. Her fingers tightened his hair and she whispered out his name.

Hearing her cries only spurred Anthony on causing him to increase the lashing of his tongue. Grabbing onto her bare buttocks Anthony pushed his tongue up inside her as far as it would go.

The moment his hands clutched her bottom pulling her closer to him Mary shuddered at the sensations he was causing and this time as her knees wobbled she cried out feeling her body shaking out of control.

Anthony could not help but lash his tongue wickedly inside Mary. His dick had sprung to life in an instant. He could feel the hot fluids on the tip of his tongue Mary was so tight around his tongue it was as if she had trapped his dick and was milking it.

The more he moved his tongue the louder Mary cried out, she fought not to collapse as her body pulsated out of her control. She pulled his hair as she pushed his head down not wanting him to stop yet.

Taking the thick part of his tongue Anthony ran it slowly up and down the lips of her vagina, pressing it hard against her clit dipping the inside at the bottom of her. He then moved back to her clit wrapping his around it sucking as though he was eating a plum.

Mary was lost to all he was doing, if he was trying to make her come alive with longing and full of sensations so strong that she was about to scream from the sheer pleasure of it he could not have planned it before. She swore loudly as he started to suck on her clit making her orgasm instantly and so strong that she felt as if she was going to pass out.

Her juices ran down his face. He took several deep breaths, taking in her intoxicating scent. He could feel himself growing hard once again.

"You are making me want you so much." Mary said hoarsely to him, her voice was low and scratchy from her moaning and she fixed her blue eyes on him fighting the urge to push him on his back. "Look at what you do to me... Anthony I think.." She wanted to say those words but she was afraid of scaring him away so she did not finish her sentence.

With a twinkle in his eye, he dabbed at his ever so moist lips with a pocket chief dusting down his knees from the dirt that now gathered. He knew what Mary was going to say a piece of him was starting to feel the same way about her as well. Doubt did etch away at him though, were they going too fast should they slow down and court one another for a while. You never really knew what Mary's family better be planning. ""I am falling in love with you too Mary" With nothing else to say Anthony thought it best to just let those words sink in for her. It felt weird to tell them as he hardly ever fell in love.

Mary was berating herself in her thoughts, she didn't want to scare him off or to go too fast this time because Anthony was already a man that she could not bear being away from. All the work he had done to give them this precious time to get to know each other without her family, she knew that he was the only one she wanted but who knew what the future might bring them. Part of her wanted to marry him now and live as they wanted before her damn family especially her father was able to drag her away from him. All these thoughts came to screeching halt when she heard his words.

"You feel it too?" Mary moved towards him hugging him tightly as if she might never let him go. "I know that I am falling for you, and I don't want anyone else."

"I am not made of stone Mary, of course I have feelings for you" His arms were like a shield around her he knew exactly what needed to be done and he would do it alone. No way would he chance having Mary's name dragged through the mud if they did actually marry in secret. Anthony was grateful that this land seemed somewhat abandoned, perhaps they could live here until the storm settled down a bit. "You know that if we married your family could annul it. Like they did when Anne married Percy"

"I know you are not made of stone, you just seem to be more cautious than I am." Mary answered him as she enjoyed the feel of being in his arms but her smile faded as he spoke. "But wait, how do you know about that? That never happened..." She knew that it was supposed to be a great Howard family secret but she was not worried about the secret but what he meant. "They would not tear us apart like that, would they?" Her voice was a timid whisper as she stared up at him. "I love you, I would not let them. Anne let them and I would not, I would run...I, I would not let any other man touch me." Her words were a rush of thought as she fought with herself knowing that he might be right, if her family opposed the match they would try to tear them apart.
