My ladies in waiting and I were sitting in a garden, sipping tea. I felt awkward since everyone was so quiet. For instance, each of these women is attractive and distinct; Lady Olivia appears to be the youngest of the three, at only 16 years. Her smile is beautiful, and her youth most likely gives a refreshing and energetic spirit to the gathering. Lady Catherine, with her brunette beauty, must be going through a difficult period following her divorce. It's understandable that she's looking for a new…

In the meantime, in the King's courtroom Baldwin POV: "Aren't you going to say anything? you're awfully quiet," I questioned William. "nothing at all," the old man continued to work, but then groaned. "alright... your majesty, I am not in the position to pry into your private matters, but you need to be more discreet... I can't believe you two would do it in broad daylight... what are you even thinking?" William exclaimed. "You are a King, and people will expect you to act like it..." he…

Every time we stopped and caught our air, he kissed me again and again, his lips hungrier, nibbling, thrilling my body, awakening my inner soul. My stomach began to tingle, and his skin felt hot as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I desired this, I desired the way he made me feel, and I desired him... As his weight softly pushes and leans me against the tree while his tongue devours mine and holds me there while I writhe in his arms where his hand goes through my thin crimson fabric of my dress…

Abu raced towards me, almost out of breath. "My lady…" he began. "What exactly is it?" I inquired. "There is a tawt 'aswad in bloom.." he explained. "Where?" I inquired. Abu stated, "near the horses stable…" "really? we have to hurry… let's go! before someone picks it," I say as I sprint. "Wait for me!" Abu exclaims.
