Anna Stafford's bedchamber

"She is long gone sweetheart " she looks deep within his sad blues eyes.

"This Anna is filled with envy ...one of the seven deadly sins ,i am a sinner , a monster " she looked away from him .

"I understand i've put you through a difficult situation Charles i won't be doing that anymore."

"Charles couldn't avoid to smile"

You're far for being a monster, Anna. You're...beautiful, clever...and a wonderful mother. You have no need to envy someone. Simply because you're perfect. And I like you as you are...

"He whispered and kissed softly and long her cheek"

She laughs softly "you can say such nice things when you pity me Charles"

she smiles at him "but i don't need your pity ... i need your love"

"Charles sighed deeply shooking his head"

Oh Anna...I don't pity you at all! You are the mother of my children. Come...

"He leaned her head on his shoulder slowly and wrapped tightly his arms around her"

"Your'll get bored of her " she whispered to herself enough so he couldn't hear.

She wrapped her arms around him and smiled softly. " I missed this, i miss this connection"

"Charles sighed and ran slowly his hand among her hairs"

I missed it too...

"He took a deep breath, happy that he finally succeded to calm her down"

"All i ever wanted was to make you happy" she burried her face against your chest.

"You should go and be with your wife , tell her you love her , tell her that everything will be fine . You should suprise her with flowers ...roses all women love them . Sit her down say a beautiful poem to her"

she looked up at him and smiled "i'll see you soon Charles ... my sweet, sweet man"

"Charles sighed again. He took her face among his hands"

I'm here with you, now. I...I love you both in different ways. I know it's hard to explain. But it's the truth...

"He said looking into her deep eyes"

"I love you to...so much it hurts" she sighed

"Oh Charles i feel like i'm invading in you life .... i don't want that. I want you to be happy thats all i ever wanted you to do."

"Charles smiled, brushing softly his fingers on her cheek"

Oh it's a very pleasing invasion, then...You and our children are too much important to me. I don't want hurting you. You deserve to be happy...

"He whispered staring at her eyes and her lips"

Her heart beat began to quicken ,she nibbled on her bottom lip softly staring at his perfectly formed mouth. Oh how she longed to kiss him deeply and make love to him everywhere in her bedroom.

"Charles sighed. Every time she was so close to him he felt his desire raising. He took a deep breath to control himself"

You...you should be more calm, Anna. Catalina is a young girl, now. And she needs her mother's advices...

"He said taking a serious but tender tone"

"I know how to look after my daughter Charles." she turned away from him and raked her hands through her hair.

Her eyes began to tear up once more. "She growing up ,all our babbies are growing up... and i'm all alone" she sighed and looked down.

She took a deep breath before saying "please go... " she didn't want him to, but she wanted to see how muh he cares for her.

"Charles sighed and took her face among his hands again"

You're not alone, Anna. You have me. And I'll never leave you. Never...

"He pulled her closer, without removing his eyes from hers. His lips were dangerously close to hers"

She closed her eyes tightly, she could feel his soft breath breathing close to her lips.

"I can't take this no more" her lips slowly brushed against his.

"This is crazy Charles" she rested her for head against his. "What i feel for you is so strong ...it's weakening me, everytime i see you ,you take my breath away. You'll all i think about in my dreams "

"Charles closed his eyes for a moment when she brushed her lips against his. Then he caressed slowly her hairs once she rested her forehead against his"

I know...I know your feelings for me. But...this makes everything so complicated. I have a wife, now. And I promised her to be faithful. You're so beautiful and I care for you, Anna. But I'm trying to keep that promise...

"He whispered, finding hard not to kiss her"

"Since when did you keep your promises Charles?" her nose now touching his.

"You were unfaithful to me , you made the same promises but you still broke them." she sollws hard. "this isn't like you Charles you used to e so much stronger then this."

"Charles bit his lips"

I'm trying to change. I don't regret our nights together. But...

"He stopped and gulped wrapping his arms around her waist"

"Oh Charles"
She kisses him passionately wrapping her arms around his waist . "i can't keep live without one last kiss " she looked up at him. "kiss me Charles"

"Charles felt suddenly her lips pressed against his. He closed his eyes and kissed her back, meeting his tongue with hers. Then he looked at her with an astonished, confused glance"

Anna...

She looked up at him totally breatless "i love you"

She stroked his face softly with her hands . "i always will do..."

"Charles looked at her, biting his lips again"

Anna...please. Don't tempt me. You know I can't...

"He whispered out of breath"

"Please don't back out of me now " she said in an urgent rush.

"I need you Charles" she strokes his face. "i need you so much ...i love you "

"Charles breathed her scent and brushed his lips against hers again. He could feel her curves pressed against his body"

I desire you, Anna. But if I break my promise, Catherine won't let me see my child anymore...

"He whispered hardly, trying to control himself"

"Then she is in the wrong Charles i would never use our child as a weapon against you " she frowns .

"Thats disgusting of her ..." she fumed her brows furrowed .
