[madamelamarquys]

But Elizabeth is yours. Watch her as she grows; she’s yours. She’s a Tudor! Get yourself a son off of that sweet, pale girl if you can - and hope that he will live! But Elizabeth shall reign after you! Yes, Elizabeth - child of Anne the Whore and Henry the Blood-Stained Lecher - shall be Queen! And remember this: Elizabeth shall be a greater queen than any king of yours! She shall rule a greater England than you could ever have built! Yes - MY Elizabeth SHALL BE QUEEN! And my blood will have been well spent!

[madamelamarquys]

It surely cannot be denied Anne Boleyn had a profound impact on history. She was instrumental in the birth of Anglicanism, a religion upheld by the incumbent queen, was generous with the poorer of the realm, saved some who suffered under religious persecution in Europe and gave birth to a great monarch whose reign bears all the hallmarks of her mother’s personality and strength. Her wrongful death and the circumstances leading up to that day are still debated with the general consensus being that she was wholly innocent. A conclusion which, far from courting the sympathy he expected, reflects badly on Henry himself and helped to cement his enduring reputation as a cruel, vindictive tyrant.

A Second Chance At First Love

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry was at a loss for what to tell her. He didn’t know how to fix what is been broken but he was also sure that it is was fully broken in the first place. Just held and then try to remember that he was her rocking all of this. He was the one I had to make sure that she was safe.

“What I want you to do is to take a deep breath and to relax. Things have changed between us there is no doubt about that. But it does not mean that I do not love you nor does it mean I don’t want you to be my wife.” Henry’s large hand move over her back as he tried to comfort her.

“I know that once you and I both are able to move past this event that we will be stronger for going through it together.” He moved the two of them back toward the bed, stopping just before they tumbled onto it.

“Undress me and I shall undress you. And then we shall climb into that bed and hold each other until morning comes. Alright?” He asked, stroking the back of her neck.

The reality of her sins that had been quietly circling her thoughts broke through and took hold. Her limbs shook as she nodded, staring at the laces on is doublet. Shaking fingers moved to begin their task. Anne nodded to him, swallowing through her tears. "I would like that."  She didn't know if the tears would stop, or if she would be able to sleep that night, but knowing that he was there- and wanted to be there with her- was enough.  Anne removed her headdress, a delicate arch of pearls set in a gold band, the gold reflecting off her dark hair. Her hands pressed to her bodice as she turned to Henry, allowing him to see her laces. This moment of domesticity was not lost on her. Just the two of them, being together and doing nothing of any consequence.

A Second Chance At First Love

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry stepped forward to gather her up in his arms. He wanted to hold her and make sure that she felt like she was being cared for. He didn’t do his job before when she needed him and he needed to be here for her now. 

"I love you Anne. I love you. I have been staying away but I am here now. And I planned to spend the night in your bed holding you and making you feel better. I’m going to hold you and we’re going to talk and laugh and forget about this. Because we are stronger than he is." He moved his head down and kissed her neck softly, wanting to show her he wasn’t scared.

"Trust me Annie. Trust me. Show me that you still want me for a husband and let me show you that I still want you as a wife." He whispered as he moved his head back to look in her eyes. "I am a good man because of you. Let me show you how good I can be."

[thekingsfavorite]

Anne clung to him, murmuring her heartfelt yet completely useless apologies. She knew that what she had done could not be undone. She knew that when her family had heard of his hunting accident, her mother wept for days. Anne had dispatched the only man she had ever loved.  "I want you for my husband. I want to be your partner, your confidant. Lover. Mother to your children. Henry- I swear to you, I am not a monster!" Her tears fell as her voice cracked, leaning against him as the walls came down. Anger had turned to shock; shock had turned to despair and a very clean break in reality. Anne Boleyn: Whore. Murderer. Future Queen.  "I swear, Your Majesty, I would sooner die that do you or our children harm! Surely you must believe me!" What would happen if he didn't? She would lose him. Perhaps that was the price God demanded she pay along with the permanent stain of Thomas Boleyn's blood on her hands. "Tell me what to do, Henry. Please, I beg you." Her arms wrapped around his waist and hugged him tightly, her face pushed to his chest as she cried.

A Second Chance At First Love

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

"I’ve had things on my mind." Henry said as he looked at the woman that he was going to marry in only a week. How was he to sleep beside her after what he saw? No, no he couldn’t think like that. He loved her and he planned to make her his wife. 

"I know you are worried about what I saw, what you did, but have no fear. I still love you and I understand why you did what you did." Henry closed his eyes and replayed moments over in his mind. "I understand it Anne. I do. But I just need some time to process it. I let you murder someone. I watched him scream while you did it. That takes something from a person."

He walked over and poured a glass of wine before he walked back to the fire. “I love you. I have been more faithful to you and the idea of our marriage than anyone else in my life. I am happy with our agreement and with all of that. I am happy. I just needed some time to process things.” He moved a step closer, giving her what he hoped was a reassuring smile.

[thekingsfavorite]

I still love you.

She stared at him, incredulous, taking a half a step back. "You love me and yet you cower from me?" Her voice rose, rough as she had not used it much over the last weeks.   Anne held out her hands. "You look at me and you see it too- the blood there. You look at me and you see what I have done." One finger pointed at his feet. "Do not think that I am blind to it! No. I protected myself. You have no idea what it was like! Fearing the footsteps that would come down the hall-" She used to count the paces as one would thunder. The louder they became, the closer they had gotten. They would beat her until she bled, only to beat her more for getting blood on their hands.  Anne began to wilt, staring at her hands. "I needed to protect myself, my future children, from him. He could never hurt me again." All she could feel was the wetness of the blood that was not there and rubbed her hands together, looking to him for help. "But now I cannot get rid of the blood." Her eyes welled with tears. "And you fear for your life because of what I have done. That is not love."

A Second Chance At First Love

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry felt a bit nervous as he walked in the room but he did it anyway. He moved over by the fire and wrapped his arms around her, giving her a hug. He needed to get over what he saw so he could marry her and not have to fear his own wife. 

"How are you tonight? I spent most of my day in meetings so I wanted to come see you." He explained, standing with his right side to the fire so he could look at her. He felt as though he needed to be on guard even though he knew that was silly. 

"I have missed you over the last few days." He said, feeling like his mouth was full of cotton. "How about I get us some wine and maybe a little bread, meat and cheese?" He offered, wanting to try to get rid of the feelings in his chest.

[thekingsfavorite]

Anne blinked at him, watching his eyes in the firelight. There it was, that little twitch. How he couldn't really look her in the eye. Even his hug felt distant. She listened to him speak and gave him a single nod. Anne had barely eaten, save for when her lady-in-waiting told her to. Food was like ash in her mouth.  Her hands wanted to reach for him, wanted to hold him. But she held herself back. What if he was afraid for his life? Did he think she would kill him too? "Days, Your Majesty?" Her eyes moved back to the white hot flames that licked the stones of the fireplace. She could hear their groans. "I have barely seen you in weeks. I understand you are a busy man." Anne looked back towards him, leveling her gaze.  "But that is not why I have not seen you, is it." Say it, her eyes urged. She could feel it. Before, it was all she could do to keep him at bay. Now- she may as well have the Black Death. "Is it..." Her fingers rubbed at her neck, sure he could still see the blood there, that spread up onto her cheek.

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Seeing the woman you love kill a man was not something that most men could recover from. But Henry thought he was handling it better than he might have otherwise. 

Though he was spending less and less time with Anne. And he knew it was because of what he saw. He took a breath and tried to keep himself steady as he walked to her room. He needed to talk to her and let her know his feelings. He would not go into a second marriage without airing the thoughts in his head. 

"Annie?" He called, knocking on the door. "Are you sleeping?" He lowered his voice, peaking his head in her room. 

[thekingsfavorite]

Standing near the fire, she rubbed her hands together to try to warm. To stop the shivering. Henry- She looked towards his voice and turned, back to the flames. "Not sleeping. By the fire." Trying and failing to warm.  Anne stepped towards him, only one step. He was scared of her, she knew it. It made her irrationally angry. Why would he be afraid of her? Did he not understand why she did what she did? He of all people should know! He gave her the ability to do it! She watched him, her head tilted. Anne noted that only his head was barely within the room. As though she could manage to only hurt him slightly if he were out of reach.  "You can come in if you like." Perhaps the fire would warm him.

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

And I said nothing as he watched Anne torture her father. For a moment he was truly terrified of her but he knew that she was just getting payback for the years abuse heaped upon her. He closed his eyes as he listened the screens grow louder and louder before quieting as he passed out.

He watched she finally took his life as he had taken years from hers. “I will alert your brother and mother in the morning of his death. A hunting accident, more regrettable.” He said, his voice low as he looked at her, blood over her dress and skin. “I know your brother preforms unnatural acts with other men. But I shall look the other way as a favor to you.” He said, knowing though the man would have to marry and have a child as a cover. 

He wrapped her back in her cloak so they could leave this place and return to his castle. “He will never again hurt you.” He whispered, wrapping his arm around her. He could feel one of them trembling and it took him a moment to realize it was him, not her. 

[thekingsfavorite]

The time from when Anne stepped into the waiting carriage seemed to slow. Only when she felt herself being pulled into the castle in a hurry did she snap too. In the bath, it felt as though she'd never be able to get the blood off. It was still there.  Three weeks passed in a fog. She had much to occupy her mind now. In a mere week, she was to be his. The King's alone. All around her the people bustled, doing this and that for her. But she only heard them in periphery. Her mind was elsewhere. Always in that chamber, with the shackles and gore. Hadn't he deserved his fate a thousand times over? After a quiet few hours alone, she retired to her chamber to light a fire and warm. Anne was often cold now, despite the warmth of the summer evenings. Would she ever get the blood out of her dress? Fingers still rubbed at the invisible stain, even now, her eyes unfocused as they stared into the fire. Henry. He had been... distant since that night. An instant turn from the relentless pursuer that he had been. In fact, she'd not seen him all day despite him being home.

The King's Daughters

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry stayed on the bed and watch her unpin her hair. He always liked watching this weather it was her or Katherine or Jane. There was something very sexy about it to him. 

"I want you Annie. I want you to feel like you are being consumed by fire when we touch because that’s how I feel." He moved slowly off of the bed and over to her, his hands moving to her shoulders. 

"Come back to bed and let me make you feel like that. I am ready." He gestured to the sizable erection he was still sporting. "And quite willing." He needed either her or her zone hand to take care of them tonight and he wasn’t sure that he wanted his hand to do the work. He missed thrusting into her and hearing her moans ring in his ears.

[thekingsfavorite]

Anne closed her eyes as he spoke, taking a moment just to listen, to feel his hands. They were warm. Her eyes opened to look into his before she moved, forward and to him. Anne said nothing; instead she cupped his face with her hands, gently sweeping her thumb over his bottom lip. Humming to herself, she leaned in to press her lips to his. Tongue lightly tracing his bottom lip.  "Show me, Henry." Anne's whisper was low, murmured against his mouth. "Show me how much you burn for me." Would he be a changed man through and through, she wondered. Taking time to savor her. One swing of the executioner's sword and she'd be dead now. Anne wondered if he would feel gratitude for her in each press of her mouth to his.

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

The King's Daughters

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry sat there in a state of shock. “I was just trying to turn you on. TO talk dirty to you and to make you feel wanted. I didn’t mean to offend you.” Henry wanted to kick himself in the face. He had her and he opened his big mouth and ended up killing their moment. 

"Anne I don’t think you’re a whore. I don’t. I love you. I love you so much. I have been faithful as you asked. I have turned down at least 7 offers since you’ve returned. I haven’t even given myself pleasure more than a few times because I want your hands on me. Please. Please forgive me for calling you that." He reached out for her, wanting to wrap her up in his arms and make sure feel safe again. 

"Please Annie. I just want us to make love again and to feel good to each other again. I miss you. I miss feeling you under me. For years I couldn’t have you and now I can and I want you all of the time. Please wife. Not for king and country but for your husband."

[thekingsfavorite]

Anne closed her eyes, finishing clasping her robe and beginning to unpin her hair, the jeweled comb now in her hands. It weighed quite a good amount. The garnets surrounding the heart were good size- a gift from Henry. She frowned at it. "I know you've been faithful. I have woken in the middle of the night and you've still been next to me, arms around me." She shook her head, depositing it onto the nightstand next to the salve. It would take more than sweet honey to fix the wounds upon her heart. "Perhaps it is my own fault for being too sensitive at times. But you will never know the pain that I have been through in that respect.  I want to be made love to. I want you to think back on what you felt like knowing that I was so close but that I continued to say no to you. Because I wanted to be more." Anne took in a breath. "I know you weren't faithful before. But I was. It has been... a very long time for me. Since I've been held. Touched."

The King's Daughters

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry licked his lips as he looked into her eyes. “I missed you too Annie.” He ran his fingers from her belly button to her hand, palming one of her breasts. “I’ve missed knowing that when I wake up you will be there. All warm and soft and wanting me to be there with you. I’ve missed talking to you on issues of state and things that matter. Jane never was very good at saying what she thought. Not like you and Katherine.” He ran a hand between her legs, using two fingers to find her clit. 

"I’ve missed you being mine. Belonging to me. I’ve missed my good little whore." He meant it to be sexy, to be funny. He smirked and wiggled his eyebrow at her. He thought being playful might be good for the mood. 

[thekingsfavorite]

His hands were warm, almost hot. That felt very, very good. As he got further and further on with his speech, she began to pull away, to pull back. Jane. Katherine; their faces she could see clearly. Recalled Katherine's words. 'He will tire of you one day.' Just like the others, she'd said. Anne had walked in on he and Jane, near when they lost their son. He called her his whore, the name that had chased her around during her entire time at his side and the years before. No- no. She pushed back against his chest, enough to allow her to move from her position over him to sit next to him, a bewildered look on her face. Her eyes searched his. "I've missed many things, Henry. Being called a whore is not one of them. Being reminded of-" She caught herself, hand over her mouth. Stop. Just stop. What was the use? Anne rose and began to search for her robe. "Have you no concept of what makes my heart sing? Can you not allow me the pleasure of being ignorant, for one full day?" She shook her head. "I could pretend that I am the only woman that you need. That I needed to feel like a wife, a woman and not a common whore, ready to service your needs. I do not exist solely to please Your Majesty." Her robe was bunched into her hands and she hurried to put it on. He didn't need to see her cry.

The King's Daughters

[kinghenryofengland-deactivated2]

Henry shifted a little bit. Bringing both of his legs up so that she could straddle him and lead back against him. He was determined to get her to say yes. He leaned up and started to kiss her. Slowly moving his hand up and down her back to make her feel safe. 

"I remember the first time you and I made love in this bed." He whispered, kissing down her neck and back up again. "You were already pregnant with Elizabeth. You and I knew what the doctor’s would say but we couldn’t help it." He whispered as his hand slowly started to massage her breasts. "I never felt more connected to you than that moment. Feeling your body meet mine."

He moved to the other side of her neck, kissing her as he played with her hair. He was pulling all of his tricks out as he started to roll his hips ever so slightly against her. “I bet you and I could feel that kind of magic tonight Annie.”

[thekingsfavorite]

Anne was gentle as she eased down to press against him. Her fingers played in his hair, kissing his temple, his cheek, his jaw. "I cried that night. Do you remember? I'd never felt that connection with you before either." She kissed his mouth, one arm around his neck, her hand cupping his cheek. Each kiss was gentle, searching. She didn't just want him to want her; she wanted him to burn for her. Her eyes searched his. How close she had come to never feeling his touch again. Feeling warmth. Peace. She whispered his name. "Do you know how much I missed this?" Looking down at the two of them, she chuckled. "Not this. Not only this." Anne teared up. "Being in your good graces. Being your lover. Your partner. Do you want me as yours again?" The question was redundant given her position against him, but she needed to hear it with his words. See it in his eyes.
