Chapter 3 3

Emily smiled to herself as she drew down the idea she had been having for days, Henry had ask her to do a dress for his mother. She drew the last of the image and smiled she was Henry mother would love this. Last week, Henry had took her to the amusement park. She had watched amazed as he had played with children she had never seen royalty as kind as he was. She wished he had become the king things would have been better in Savenport.

A knock disrupted her thoughts and she rushed to the door and she opened it; there he was again looking splendid as ever, his blond hair fell to his temples and a days growth of jaw was evident on his jaw, his suit was well tailored and were his pants.

"Hi" he said and she reluctantly took her eyes from his tempting lips to his eyes.

"My prince" she said with a bow and his blue eyes bore into hers, he mouth the words 'Please stop' and she grinned and led him in.

"Welcome to my tiny house" she said and he grinned at her.

"It like it tiny" he said, she chuckled and poured a bottle of wine in a glass.

"Here" she said and he nodded his thanks and sipped the wine slowly, his eyes not leaving hers.

"You live alone?" He asked and she nodded sadly.

"I lost my father in the wars and my mother died of grief shortly after, they left me this house" she explained and Henry studied her, his blue eyes softened.

"I am sorry" he said softly and Emily nodded not trusting herself to speak.

"It's fine" she said and Henry nodded, he studied her for a moment then he tilted his head.

"Can I share something?" He said and she nodded.

"I wish I was never born in a royal family" he said seriously and she stared at him strangely.

"Are you kidding?" She asked with a smile but he looked serious. His blue eyes darkened and he stared at the ceiling.

"Not all rich and famous people are happy were they are" Henry said and she stared at him and smiled sadly.

"Then we are even" she said and he smiled and stood behind he craned his head over hers.

"Is that my mother's dress" he asked and she nodded, he moved closer till she was very much aware of his rock hard chest close to her back he picked up the picture and smiled down at her.

"It's beautiful, you have a very creative mind" he said and she nodded, they stared at each other and smiled. Henry leaned closer and stared a her lips then back at her eyes.

"I want to ask something" he said and she smiled. He moved closer till she could feel his breath on her face.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked and she smiled slowly and leaned closer.

"Do you have to ask" she replied and he nodded, pulled her to him and kissed her slowly, she melted into him deepening the kiss. He pulled away slowly staring into the depth of her soul.

"That felt nice" she said and he chuckled. He brushed the hair from face and grinned.

"So describe my kiss as nice?" He teased and she nodded. Emily pulled down his head and covered his lips with hers when they pulled away she was smiling.

"This one is hot" she said and he smirked and plopped down onto the bed. She stared at him in surprise.

"Are you staying here" she asked and he smiled, his blue eyes lit up mischievously.

"Don't want me to?" He asked and she blushed.

"It's not that" she said. "It's just that....won't your family look for you. I mean a prince in my home" she stammered and he grinned.

"Think I care?" He asked and smiled. "They can bark for all I care" he said and closed his eyes, he was silent for a while before he spoke:

"Have you ever fallen in love?" He asked in his deep voice. The question startled Emily but she forced a smile.

"No" she said and he nodded.

"Oh" he said and closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

Emily woke up on the bed, she didn't know how she ended up on the bed she was pretty sure she had fallen asleep on the couch. Henry! She thought with jolt and sat up she turned and saw him fast asleep on the couch and smiled. He must have some point woken up in the night and carried her to the bed.

His eyes opened and they appraised her, he stretched and smiled, his hair so usually neatly groomed was shaggy and fell to his eyes.

"Hey" he said and she smiled back at him, lshe tossed back her hair.

"I am sorry, the couch is not all that comfortable" she said and he smiled like he knew that was what she was going to say.

"It's fine" Henry said and Emily nodded, she stared at him in the eye.

"You should have joined me in bed" she said and he eyes widened in surprise, then he smirked slowly.

"Next time" he said, his voice held so much promise. He rose and brushed his lips across hers.

"I am hungry" he announced and she quickly got.

"I'll whip up something" she said and hurried out. Henry smiled to himself, he had almost told her the word yesterday but he had decided to save it for a special moment, when the time was right he was going to tell her. He was going to tell her how he felt the first time he saw her, he was going to tell her how he felt when he kissed her, he was going to tell her how he felt when he watched her sleep.

He was going to tell her how much he loved her.
