Please remember that Anne doesn't have her father and uncle there to teach her how to scheme and be more mysterious, she is just being herself. Also keep in mind she is much younger than in the TV show, she is only 17-19 here while in the TV show I believe she's about 23-24. She's young and in love, Henry loves her just as much and he doesn't want to hurt her and he won't for a little while. But keep in mind there will be MANY obstacles and problems will arise in this story that will hurt these two.

"It is not all my fault. You have no one to blame, but yourself for this. I was distressed too see you with that wench Ja…because the love I bare for you is so great…it broke my heart to see you loved others."

I jumped out of bed at sweat poured down my temples, breathes ragged and my heart hammering away inside my chest. My night-dress stuck to my sweat soaked skin and the sheet felt wet to the touch. I took in deep, calming breathes as my heart slowed and sweat stopped. I slumped against my feather pillows as I wiped the sweat from my brow, my forehead feeling warm along with my cheeks. I threw the blankets down to my legs and gently raised my nightgown. I ran my hands gently over my flat belly before kicking the covers off and going over to my shades, letting in the bright, winter light.

I shook the nightmare from my mind and called for my ladies, Nan and Madge. They dressed me in a cream gown with my hair down my back and a spiked, pearl diadem. I exited my room and went to the dining hall where I saw staff hanging Christmas decorations. I leaned against the door frame as I stared at the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, ornaments sparkling as the light hit it just right. A small smile graced my lips; Christmas Tide was my favorite part of the year. Parties, dancing, singing, romance…everyone was so happy during Christmas. I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist, I looked down at the hands and saw Henry's large ruby ring he never took off. I rested my much smaller ones against his, his warm hands heating up my cold ones. He gently kissed my neck before kissing my cheek.

He grasped my hand and led me off down the corridor, we walked quickly before coming to a stop. Henry gently pushed me against the wall and cupped my face before leaning down and placing a warm, firm kiss. I wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him closer as I gently moaned into his mouth. He tasted of the richest red wine, spice and crisp winter air. He finally pulled away and I took in a deep breath.

"Merry Christmas, my Sweet Anne."

"And Merry Christmas too you, my love." We had been courting each other for two months now and today was finally Christmas.

Ever since coming to Windsor Castle I had spent much of my time with Princess Mary, who was such a sweet and intelligent girl. She loved dressing in my jewelry, diadems and even loved me doing her hair. When I wasn't with Mary, I was with Henry. He was truly the love of my life, he was sweet and kind to me. He listened to my thoughts and wishes…and he loved me with such a fierce passion. We had only kissed and it was the greatest pleasure I had ever felt in my life. His lips lit my body on fire and sent this warmth throughout my body that I had never felt before. He never forced our relationship, it came naturally. Slow and sweetly. I would never love anyone like I loved Henry Tudor.

He was a married man and I knew it was wrong of me to take him…to want him. I couldn't help it, I knew we would most likely never get married and I knew I would always be seen as his mistress, his whore. He was the only man I would be ok with that, I didn't need the Pope to tell me I loved him. I didn't have to share him with anyone even though he's married to Katherine, I knew he was mine just as I was his. In heart, mind and soon body. I had decided tonight would be the night I gave myself to him fully, it might be thoughtless and stupid, but I was ready. Ready to be with the man I truly loved.

That night we held a grand party for Christmas, everyone danced and drank happily. I playfully spun Princess Mary around, her beautiful red dress which was designed much like mine spun around her. I playfully picked her up and spun her before setting her back down on her feet as we continued to dance. We danced for most of the night until she was forced to go to bed by her governess. I picked her up and hugged her to me when I felt her gently kiss my cheek.

"Goodnight Lady Anne, I had such a fun night." I smiled at her before kissing her round, red cheek.

"I had a fantastic night with you my little Princess. Sweet Dreams." I kissed her once more on the cheek before her governess took her away, we waved at each other until she disappeared around the corner.

The rest of the night I mingled with the rest of the courtiers, ate and drank until finally the dance was called to an end. As I walked down the deserted hallways, I was suddenly pulled into a room. I yelped and turned to strike the person who grabbed me when I saw it was Henry. I let out a sigh before hitting him playfully in the chest.

"You gave me a fright Henry!" He kissed me on the tip of the nose as he laughed at me.

"I'm sorry my Sweet, will you ever forgive me?" I smiled at him before wrapped my slim arms around his neck and kissing him fiercely. Gradually things began to build and I slowly pulled away, I grasped his hand and we walked quickly to his Chambers.

As we entered his sleeping Room, I shut the door behind us before kissing him again. I slowly backed us up until we reached his grand bed. I pushed him down until he sat at the edge, I stood between his open legs as I run my fingers through his hair. As we kissed he slowly laid down and I gently crawled into his lap. I straddled his legs as we continued to kiss, his hands running up and down the buttons on the back of my dress.

He began to button each of them with care until they were all undone, the dress laid limp at my shoulders. I pulled away from him and slowly pulled off the beautiful red dress, I was left standing in my corset. He got up from the bed and took off his decorative top and shoes, leaving him in a loose white shirt and black pants.

He began to slowly undo my corset as I began to pull the strings to his shirt, I pushed the shirt off his body and reached down and began untying the black pants. After couple of minutes we stood completely naked in front of each other, I stood frigid as everything began to set in. Henry pulled me close and kissed me gently on the lips before laying me down on the bed. He began to slowly kiss and suck my neck as he made his way down my body, he licked his way between the valleys of my breast down to my navel.

He held me firmly to the bed as my raised off the bed, he made his way slowly back up and kissed the tops of my breast before kissing me gently on the mouth. He slowly entered me and I felt the tears gather in my eyes before he finally took my maidenhead. I let out a gasp of pain as tears cascaded down my face. Henry kissed each tear away before kissing me gently on my closed eyelids, cheeks, tip of my nose and finally my mouth. Time passed and I slowly got used to the feeling.

As the night went on our moans and gasp filled the silent room, the blue moonlight gently lighting the room. My nails dug into Henry's back before scratching down the long, muscular area. He cried out and my cries filled the room. He gently pulled at my hair and held my hips to the mattress. My legs wrapped around his waist pulling him closer and deeper, my heels pressing into his lower back and butt. He left bruises on my neck and tops of my breast as he bit and sucked before running his tongue over the sensitive skin. After hours I lay with my head on his chest, hearing his heart beat as we slowly fall into a peaceful sleep. Our legs tangled together and his hand rested on my thigh as mine rested on his stomach and chest. That was by far my favorite Christmas.
