Royal Gardens

George tiltled his head toward hers, smirked "Well, it's getting hard to drag you out "

"Was it only your daughter's problem which kept you busy this much, mi'lady?" George smirked in a sweetish way

George looked at her lips He tiltled his head, smiled at her shrugging his shoulders "Well, if you say so.."

"No, I haven't" said George with worried eyes. He raised an eyebrow, looked directly at Jane's eyes "What had happened to her?"

George sighed feeling relaxed a bit. "I haven't known that you two were close friends."

George smiled slightly, talked without leaving his eyes on hers "out of sight out of mind"

It was dusk and the stars were just starting to come out, Ben walked with the princess out the Royal gardens and took a deep breath. "Ahh it's good to be outside and away from the commotion. Wouldn't you agree Katherine, may I call you Katherine?" He looked at her and she looked different in this light, a more beautiful different.

I smile warmly "Yes, you may your Grace." I look at him, my arm entwined with his. "Charles always calls me Katie" I smile as I think fondly of her oldest friend.
"Your Grace, must tell me about Germany...What was it like?"

Ben extends his arm and entwines his fingers with hers, "Well Katie, Germany is very beautiful, a lot of widespread land and greenery. There are old ruins that are amazing to see, perhaps you will go there with me one day? I have made many friends there I would like to show you this place."

"You would have to ask my brother or my Husband-to-be your Grace, if I could go." I smile sweetly at him.

Ben took her hand and twirled in so her back was against his chest and whispered "What if I just swept you off your feet and took you right now?" I said in a seductive voice.

Pressed against his back; I smile, blushing slightly. "My brother would kill you...Kidnapping his sister wouldn't put you in his good graces!" I smile coyly "He would order your arrest the moment you set foot on English soil"
Twirling a strand of hair around my finger, I look over my shoulder. "I wouldn't wish to see your Grace harmed..."

Ben placed a light kiss on her neck, inhaleling the smell of sweet vanilla as she spoke. "Yes, of course you brother is a very tyrannical man. I don't wish to anger him, I just wish to..." He turned her around and gazed into her blue green eyes and smiled.

"Wish to do what, your Grace?" I look at him with big doe eyes; confused and slightly nervous. Francis was the man I was bound to and my heart skipped a beat just thinking about him...but the Duke was an intriguing man...

Ben brought her face towards his "I wish to steal a kiss from you" He said and pressed his lips against hers kissing her soft full lips.

I look at him shocked and worried. What would Francis say? I was a married woman...."Your Grace..." I am aghast. My breathing deepens and I swallow..."Your Grace, I'm not sure my husband or brother would have approved of that..." I look at him.

Her reaction baffled me, "Forgive me your highness your just so, so desirable" He said and caressed her soft skinned face. "Your husband is a very lucky man indeed, to have such a beautiful woman all to himself." He took her hand in his looking down as he entwined his fingers with hers then looked up at her, admiring her, pulling his bottom lip in still tasting her kiss on his lips.
