Juana and Gerome's Bedroom

Juana lay upon the bed recovering from the birth of that of Gerome and her own's son Prince Ferdinand's birth, the child just born 3 days ago and she rests upon the bed, only then she felt her love lay beside her joining her as she recovers from the birth of their 3 day old son "my love" she smiled whispering to him.

I remove my tunic then lie aside her moving her hair back from her face .We look into each others eyes as if we cannot move our gaze away from each other ,my hands finding the ties to her dress .

Juana lays on the bed feeling Gerome laying beside her, reaching for the ties to her dress which bound it so well, her hair pulled from her face as she was recovering from the birth of their infant son and Gerome was so eager to have her as she was resting "my love," she spoke opening her eyes as she lay upon the bed feeling his kisses upon her cheek and neck as her hair is in between his fingers.

Once I have the ties to her dress loostened I have a need to explore the treasure within .I begin to gently peal it back as if opening a delicate present using wet warm kisses down her shoulders .I take extra care as I reveal her breasts , letting out a deep breath at seeing how full they are ,I carress them lin my hands feeling their weight then continue to have the rest of her revealed to me ,and as she just in her undergarment I ask "Juana lay with me ,just once more,a memory for me to keep whilst I have sleepless nights with our son"

Juana of Aragon lay upon the bed as Gerome the young knight enters her bed opening up her nightgown, she began to stir as he ran his hand over her breasts and down her body which was recovering from the birth of their newborn son the infant prince and heir of Taranto and that of Naples, hearing his whispers as he kissed her upon her shoulder while he requested her to lay with him "my love, I have only just birthed mere 3 days ago" she spoke telling him "do you not think it too soon" she asked concerned for her health if she was to lay with him again so soon

Seeing his wanting in his eyes she sat up gently as she was still sore a bit "our son, is he well" she asked him wondering where there son was.

"yes it is too soon ,the thought disgust me ".I rise from the bed having been kept from her the last year with her lieing in and now she nursing .Being in the company of her soldiers harden me "I am not able to care for a three day old baby Juana do you have a nurse maid ?"

Juana of Aragon lay in his arms as she lay upon the bed "it is quite alright" she spoke but shook her head to his question of a nursemaid "I shall feed our son" she spoke sitting up on the bed as she was much stronger then he though "I will do anything for our son, for you" she spoke sitting there but noticed a change in him

"is all well for you, you seem so different' she commented " I pray life here hasn't changed you too much"

"I have had to prove myself to your brother ,he does not want a court jester but a soldier who can be ready for action at the drop of a hat ,"



I look at her trying to feel something for her but now I see love as a weakness "I have chosen to do this for our son"!

Juana of Aragon sat there and took his hand in her own as she wept tears from her eyes, the love she bares for him was still there and her long hair covers her cheeks and she shook her head "you need not prove anything to my brother" she spoke telling him "weather you be a jester, or a solder, I will still love you" she spoke telling him "to love ones self for who they are, that is the true treasure, you need not change for no man" she tells him

She never thought love was a weakness but she knew she suffered enough at the hands of man "you were the kindest, you are the kindest man I ever known' she told him "and the most gentle" she told him once more.

"Juana you leave me to go back to him do not tempt me with tales of love "

Juana looked into his eyes as she hated that she must leave him to return to Camelot "I despise every second of it, every moment that I must leave here, my home.. to return to him, to leave you, and our son behind, I never wanted any of this" she told him as tears fell down her face "it is a marriage I can never escape, They will never let me remain happy with you" she spoke telling Gerome although she wanted to stay and she loved him with all her heart.

"what I tell you is the truth, I do love you and it is no tale or deception" she told him.

"I not understand you Juana ,you say you hate this man yet return to him ,he may even have taken another already ,then what happens "

Juana looked at Gerome as she sat there "as a princess I do not choose my happiness, it is my family who does, they chose this marriage, made this alliance, my grandfather sold me to Arthur for but a mere sack of gold" she confessed "If I had my choice to freely choose it would be you" she spoke "my life was never my own" she told him and she hated the fact she had no control over her own life. "like my family, I am doomed to suffer at the hands of ones husband, he may have another, he may loose my trust as many times over and over again, but I can never leave him" she spoke "perhaps it is madness, to once love a man so cruel, perhaps I not knew love until I met you" she spoke "to love once a man who betray my trust, such a thing could be impossible, but a marriage does not require you to love your husband" she told him sadly.

"Then you must do as required as I will do for the boy" I take to leave the room and head back to Giovanni and the fort
