Annabelle
After breakfast the King and Queen went to spend some alone time together. It was obvious what was happening upstairs. She knew at the end of the day she was still his wife, but why was he going out of his way to be with her? She thought he had feelings for her.
" So what do you want to get upto this morning?" Jamed asked her.
She shrugged her shoulders " I'm not sure what's fun to do here?" she asked him and he grinned.
" I could show you around the grounds, we could play games, I could show you around the kingdom" he told her.
" A tour of the kingdom sounds like it would be fun" she told him with a smile.
" Great, meet you at the front in ten minutes " he told her getting up from the table and going downstairs.
Annabelle quickly used the bathroom and met James at the front of the castle.
" How long of a walk are we in for?" she asked him as they made their way outside.
James smiled " I've arranged for the carriage to take us" he told her.
He opened the carriage door for her and extended his hand for her to take. She climbed inside and James followed her closing the door.
" How did you manage this?" she asked him impressed.
" There's many things I can achieve" he told her with a wink.
" Is there anything I should know about the kingdom?" she asked changing the subject.
" I'm not sure what yours was like, but we've got lots of land for harvesting, several stores for stationary clothes stuff like that. A fantastic baker" he told her.
" Could we see the baker?" she asked him and he nodded.
Within a few minutes they had arrived in the middle of the kingdom, James extended his hand again to help her step out of the carriage. She couldn't help it her eyes kept wandering around the kingdom, it was set up very nicely. He started walking towards the direction of the baker and she followed.
" What is it you were hoping for? it's my treat" he told her as he opened the door for her.
" I can't ask you to pay" she told him when he cut her off.
" I already offered" he told her as they walked upto the baker.
She sighed sensing there was no winning this discussion "everything smells so good in here" she commented.
" Thank you" he said giving her a smile.
" Um just some pastries is fine with me" she told him.
" That will be sixty cents he told her.
" Are you sure? That sounds really low" she said to the baker.
James chuckled " You're really suspicious of everything" James said reaching into his pocket and paying the baker.
They left the bakery together and took a seat at the fountain that was nearby.
" How does ours compare to your kingdom?" James asked her.
" It seems nicer then ours, there's nothing wrong with my home but things just look nicer here" she told him as she took a bite of the pastry.
She let out a moan without realizing it " gosh that's good" she said as James eyed her with a grin.
" Whats that look for?" she asked him with a laugh.
" You sound like you did a few nights ago" he told her.
" Oh gosh stop thinking about it" she said to him as she could feel herself getting warm and flustered.
" What if I can't?" he asked her.
" James" was all she got out when his lips were on hers.
She was kissing him back her brain not fully registering what was going on. Kissing James was much different then kissing Albert. James was more gentle with her and a much slower of a kiss. Secondly they could actually kiss in public not behind closed doors.
James pulled away suddenly " Sorry if that was out of line" he told her as he moved away from her.
She shook her head " that's fine, better then fine actually" she told him and he grinned.
" Anything else you want to see?" he asked her.
" Maybe just around" she suggested and they finished the pastries.
Annabelle and James went for a walk around the kingdom just looking at the houses.
" I want to show you the garden it's almost as beautiful as you" he told her as he grabbed onto her hand and gave it a kiss.
They walked hand in hand towards the garden and talked about anything and everything. Once they made their way to the garden Annabelle gasped,was rows and rows of flowers.
" See almost as beautiful as you" James told her when she cut him off and kissed him.
He slowly put his hands on her waist as they kissed. His hands never made it further down then her waist, Annabelle kept her hands on his shoulders. James slowly stuck his tongue in her mouth and Annabelle let out a moan. She could feel James smile into their kiss.
" I hate to do this but we should get heading back" he told her as she nodded.
Once they got back into the carriage Annabelle tried to kiss him again but James wouldn't kiss her.
" I hope I'm not giving you the wrong impression, I like you. But I'm not wanting you to do anything you don't want to do" he told her and she nodded.
" But I want to kiss you" she told him and he grinned.
He gently laid her down and went back to kissing her, this time it was a little bit more intense. Still was really noticing how gentle and respectful of her he was being.
" Mmmm Annabelle" he moaned against her lips.
There was a knock at the cabin door "we've arrived" said the driver.
They both sighed and James helped her help straighting her dress. He opened the door to the carriage and helped Annabelle down.
" I'll see you around" he told her giving her hand a kiss as he made his way into the castle.
She nodded and gave him a smile and made her way into the castle by herself.
" Oh good you're back" came the Queens voice as she made her way down the stairs.
Annabelle gave the Queen a curtsey " Yes Ma'am, what are you upto for the rest of the day?" she asked her.
" Planning a party with that annoying Katie" the queen told her rolling her eyes.
Annabelle stiffled a laugh " I don't believe I've ever seen you irritated Queen Charlotte" she told her.
" I'm sure this won't be the last time" she said giving Annabelle a grin.
" She's out in the garden again" Queen Charlotte told her as they made their way outside.
" What did you get upto?" The Queen asked her as they walked.
" James showed me around the kingdom" she told the Queen.
" That's amazing, I'll have to find the time to do that too" she spoke as they walked.
" Hello Queen Charlotte" Katie spoke grimly with a curtsey.
" Hello, let's get this started" Queen Charlotte told her as Annabelle pulled the chair out for her.
" In a months time this must be planned, it's an opportunity for your family to come see your new home, as well as the Kings family to get to know you better. Also sometimes the kingdom's will bring its residents so it's a big deal" Katie was telling her.
" Yes I know how this works" The Queen told her.
Katie let out a cough " Alright let's work on the guest list. Uh Annabelle could you go get the list from the king?" she asked her.
Annabelle looked at the Queen to make sure that was ok and she nodded. Annabelle made her way back to the castle and made her way upto the kings office. She slowly knocked and the door opened, he had a big smile on his face when he was it was her, he closed the door.
He slowly pushed her to the door and began kissing her, Annabelle was kissing him back. He slid his hand up her dress and started to rub her sensitive area, Annabelle let out a gasp and he shoved his tongue into her mouth. He grabbed onto her hand and placed it onto himself, she could feel how hard he was and she grazed her palm against him. Suddenly she snapped out of it and pulled away.
" Whats wrong?" he asked her looking hurt.
" I'm here for your guest list for the party" she told him breathing hard.
" Oh" was all he said and grabbed it and put it in her hand.
" Thank you King Albert" she said turning to leave when he grabbed onto her shoulders and held her in place.
" Albert" he reminded her.
" Everything ok?" he asked her looking concerned.
She nodded " Just the events of this morning have left me hurt" she told him and he kissed her cheek.
" I understand, that wasn't right of me to spend the morning with her after I declared my attraction to you, I will make it upto you tonight" he told her.
Annabelle sighed " I don't know" she said as he cut her off.
" Please, I promise you'll know how I feel about you after tonight" he told her.
She nodded " ok" was all she said as he kissed her again.
Albert
He kept kissing Annabelle with such an intensity and desire, if he didn't cool it down he would have to have a release. Maybe he would get one tonight, even though he already had a few this morning.
" I really have to go" Annabelle said pulling away and breathing hard.
He nodded " Alright tonight" he told her and she left.
He finished up his paperwork that he was working on, he must have been in there for hours.
He heard a knock " It's time for supper" came the voice of James.
He opened the door and they headed downstairs together, Annabelle and The Queen were both already seated. He licked his lips as he made eye contact with Annabelle, she quickly put her head down. Supper was ate in the same amount of conversation as usual.
The King and Queen made their way upstairs holding hands " Should I come over tonight?" she asked him.
" Honestly this morning made me exhausted, is it alright if I just sleep?" he asked her and she sighed.
" Sure that's fine" she said as she gave him a kiss.
The Queen and Annabelle went into her room to get her ready for the night. After James got him ready for the night he sat on his bed waiting for Annabelle.
Annabelle
Albert was giving her the heads up that he wanted to see her. There was so much going on inside of her head she didn't know what to do. Once she got to her room she stayed there for abit figuring it out. She sighed and left her room and knocked on the door. The door opened.
" can I come in?" she asked.
