RECAP:

"If you like?"

"Then," he crawled over her and sat beside her on the bed, "stay I will." He smiled at her and kissed her forehead. Annalissa mentally smiled to herself. Peter Pevensie was a better man than her former lover. It was true. Fidel never showed the concern, the small things. Peter took her for a picnic before the ball; Fidel never planned a picnic for her. He was more of the reserved type of man. His vein was one thing unbearable with her. Fidel would get angry for the littlest things over either jealousy with other men or he would just be very intense. He would also play games, games where she had to find out what he wanted. It was like a guessing game, yes, no, no, yes, yes, no, no..etc. Sometimes he would even be insecure with the way he had to look when they went to a ball her father was having or when they were invited somewhere. He said he loved Annalissa, but he showed small interest in other women, attractive girls. When he would chat with other women, she would always feel like she wanted to go back home. He would never be there. All the times he made her laugh; all of the time he made her cry. His friends were jerks, they hit on her, tried to get next to her, inside of her. She couldn't take it. When he acted that way, it hurt. But at the same time underneath it all, he made her love him! But that was the past; Annalissa was moving on. Moving on and with a new person: High King Peter.

Chapter 35

Peter leaned in softly and kissed Annalissa soundlessly trying not to hurt her in any way. She was beginning to feel better, so she decided to spice things up as much as she could. Annalissa raised her hands and left them in the High Kings hair while pressing her body against his. Peter bit her bottom lip hoping to gain access in her mouth which indeed she gladly accepted. In a short amount of time, their kisses went from soft and gentle to burning passionate eager kisses. Annalissa felt a dull pain on her shoulder and looked to see teeth marks moments later.

"Peter, you bit me!" She laughed and wrapped her arms around him. "I never knew you were this aggressive." Anna felt his hot breath against her skin and it felt so good.

The High King kissed her neck and inhaled deeply. "You smell so wonderful." He breathed in her scent. "It smells like honey and vanilla."

"That is because it is honey and vanilla." She chuckled and kissed his lips once more. Her hands rested behind his head while he began to kiss her cheekbone and slowly lowering himself to her collarbone. But he stopped around her chest and looked at her. Annalissa bit her lip.

"I'm not making you uncomfortable, am I?" He asked as he shifted from on top of her to beside her bed.

She shook her head. "Nope, but I am still feeling pain in my you know...erm... abdominal area. But it is slowly going away. I will be fine, don't you worry."

"Glad to hear it, darling." He kissed her cheek. "I should be getting back to my duties." Peter didn't sound very excited.

"You're a King," she laughed to herself. "I'll try to plan something for us tonight."

"If you are feeling up to it, then that sounds great."

"I love you," Annalissa called out as he left her bedchamber.

He stopped and turned back to her. His smile made her melt, and those beautiful blue eyes. "I love you too, Anna." After that he left her in her room. She wanted to do something special for her love, but what? She wasn't going to do another attempt to seduce him through lingerie like she did with Fidel (which worked and soon introduced conflict). She didn't seem to like the idea of repeating herself again. Annalissa had a different connection with Peter. It wasn't just a physical connection, but an emotional one. When she would talk, he would listen. He tried to give her his best advice when it came to family and love. When the High King was frustrated with something, she was the one he wanted to talk to. They spent most of their time together, so Annalissa needed to do something thoughtful and wonderful. Elizabeth wouldn't be of much help, would she? Susan was Peter's younger sister, but the Gentle Queen wasn't that much younger than the High King. Queen Susan was sure to be of help; hopefully. This had to be special.

Annalissa was relieved with she saw a certain Queen pass by her room. "Susan!" She called.

Susan walked back and looked into Annalissa's room. "Hello, Anna. Is there anything you would like?"

"Not right now, but I was hoping you could help me."

Her eyebrow rose. "Alright, but with what?"

"Peter is busy today with his regular duties, and I would like to plan something nice for us tonight, together. With everything that has currently happened, I think he would enjoy some time of relaxation and peace. Don't you agree?"

"Ah! What do you have up your sleeve Annalissa?" She asked with a smile and her eyes beaming.

"I don't know. I was wondering if you could help me with planning a refreshing night with your brother. Just him and myself. No revealing lingerie or anything too seductive. I don't want to rush things. Things are fine the way they are as of now." She smiled slightly.

Susan closed the door and made her way to Anna's bed. She positioned herself to where she felt comfortable. "Alright then; nothing desperate I assume?"

"No, no, no. Nothing such as that!" Her cheeks turned pink.

"Ok, but it has to be romantic, right?" Annalissa nodded. "Ah, maybe a walk in the garden, like a nightly picnic? Inside the new gazebo that was built a few months ago. It's beautiful; and you can see the ocean... it's a nice view. We can arrange the food from the kitchen, the moon should be full tonight so it should make things more romantic. Besides the ball that took place and Edmund and Constantine, everything and I mean everything has Peter stressed."

"I like your idea. When will Peter be finished with the meeting?"

"Before dinner...Why don't Lucy, Elizabeth, and I arrange everything outside while you find Peter and guide him towards the gazebo. It should be a sweet nice night for you two."

Annalissa giggled and looked towards her window. "It should be." She smiled mentally, "What is the cook making tonight?"

"I dunno, maybe more potatoes and chicken. Those two feast like Kings."

"Because they are Kings," the two laughed. "Remember, nothing cliche or in a painful way."

"Of course not," Susan giggled as she got off of the bed. "Do not worry about anything, I'll have it under control."

"Alright, thank you Susan." The two girls hugged each other. "This means a lot to me."

"You are welcome." The Queen left the room. Annalissa was feeling a little bit better so she decided to pick out a dress from the wardrobe from the far corner of the room. She saw a fiery red dress. Not my taste, the color is too bright. Red does not compliment my skin tone. Anna came across two dresses she really liked. One was a simple white gown that was strapless and had small ruffles around the ends. The other one was pale blue with sleeves that stopped at her elbows. The top part was shaped around the neckline. She noticed a white shawl that went perfectly with the white gown. Annalissa had her dress picked out.

The last few hours went by slower than High King Peter had expected it to be. His meetings were with Lords and Dukes from different countries he had grown to know. Peter wanted to see Annalissa so badly and be with her too; but as a High King, that would have to wait. He participated at times yes, but the blond haired boy found himself turning his head constantly at a nearby window. He saw Annalissa watching her little sister, the small child (not Elizabeth). He mentally smiled as he watched her sit on the grass picking flowers that were near her. Mary-Anne picked a daisy from nearby and ran towards her sister.

"Look! I found a flower." She gave it to Annalissa.

"For me?" She said in a higher pitch voice. Mary-Anne had given the daisy to her older sister.

She nodded and sat on her lap. Anna played with her sisters hair, while doing so see looked up at a window and saw a certain blond haired boy looking right back at her. She smiled sweetly and noticed Peter had smiled for a moment, then turned around and went back to focusing on his meeting.

"Oh, thank you," Annalissa laughed.

"Elizabeth," Edmund whispered softly. He and Peter had been dismissed from their meeting.

"What was that?" Peter said.

"Oh, erm...nothing. Sorry, I was just thinking."

"Out loud more like it." He chuckled.

"Can I ask you something?" Edmund asked his brother. Peter nodded. "Umm... Are you feeling alright?"

Peter looked at him like he was crazy. "What do you mean?"

"It's just, when we were in there, you weren't into what we were all talking about. You usually participate a lot. But today, you looked distracted, very. Is it Anna? Can you concentrate at all without thinking about her?" He laughed.

Peter pinched his younger brother. "I'm fine, and if you must know... yes I do love Annalissa. It is that hard not to concentrate. Wait...It shouldn't be any different with you and Elizabeth."

The Just King shook his head. "Nevermind. We have practice with Oreius in a few minutes."

Peter groaned. "When will I ever get a break?"

"We're Kings, remember?" Edmund rolled his eyes.
