He kissed her and left and she sat in the water for just a minute. She washed as best as she could, then got up and found a towel. Once she was wrapped up, she found some salve to put on her bruise. She dressed in her nightclothes and laid down. She must have been more tired than she thought because two hours later when Felipe came back up, she was passed out. Felipe just stood there leaning against the bedpost, watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful, lost in her dreams. Then it hit him, would she have a nightmare. She said she didn't anymore, but only about the explosion. What did she dream about? Then she called his name.
Felipe went back upstairs and thought about how he was going to convince Amaya to leave the country. It would come to him. He had to think about what to say to his father. He had a lot of things he had to do. He was kind of stressing himself out, then he walked into her room. She was on her back and moonlight was pouring in from the window. The way it gleamed on her hair, made her look like an angel. He forgot everything but this woman he would call his forever. He couldn't lie to himself anymore, he was in love with her. He had been since the day he saw her. How he had no idea, but she had his heart and didn't even know it. He went over to the bed and laid down beside her. She rolled over and snuggled up close to him. He laid there in the night just holding her. He didn't ev
The moment Felipe heard this, he ran down the stairs and out the door after her. He was too late. She rode her horse instead of taking a carriage. He called for a horse and chased after her. He was glad he caught her before she got to town. She didn't want to see him, though. "Go away, Felipe."&n
Pierre got a carriage even as late as it was. One of his men drove, he had another man ride on the back, two at the doors, and he and the others rode on horses around the carriage. Chloe and Amaya were completely safe inside. After they left, it really didn't take long to reach Spain's border. The guards let them through and a few even joined them to help accompany Amaya to Felipe. It was in the afternoon by the time they reached the palace. A guard came to Felipe and his father and told Felipe he had a female visitor. "Maria already u
The guard told her he was in the library with her. She walked over and heard shouting. Mainly Felipe. "Dammit, Maria. It is over. You were a mistake. And one I can't get rid of. I'm engaged to be married to the most beautiful woman on earth. Why the hell would I ever want you again?"
They both laughed and he kissed her. He felt so happy, he thought he would burst. He wondered though, how Carlos and Emilio were fairing. He hadn't talked to them since he left the first time. Before he and Amaya got engaged. He wondered if Bonnie and Camila knew about everything. Both were away with his guys in different parts of France. They would have to be notified as soon as possible. Amaya waited for Felipe in the parlor and she was surprised when Maria came back through the door. She looked at Amaya as she held the knife in her hand. Amaya was afraid, at first, then she caught a glimpse of Pierre and Sergio standing there watching Maria's every move.
When they reached a more secure room, Arturo asked Pierre everything Amaya knew how to do. "Now, Pierre, please tell me everything my future daughter in law has skills in." "W
He led her to the king-size bed, fit for a king. He kissed her and lowered her to the bed. The minute they were both on the bed, she climbed atop of him. She slowly removed his shirt and began kissing his chest. He reached for her, but she told him to leave his hands above his head. He did as she said. She reached his neck and started to use her tongue. When she got to his lips, she teased him. Nibbling at the corners of his mouth until he tried to kiss her. She moved her way back down his neck. Licking the curls on his chest as she passed them. As she moved lower, he almost couldn't take it. She licked around his belly button and kissed his stomach lower and lower. When she got to his waistline, he stopped her.
"What have I told you about using that room? Or if you use that room to leave this unlocked?" "Well, father I didn't think it applied anymore since I was in there with my fiancé. My pregnant fiancé at that."
The crowning was one he knew he'd never forget. She was a perfect vision in ivory and gold. Her train was held by six maids as she walked down to him. She looked magnificent and proud as she walked to him. When she grabbed his hand, he knew she was terrified. He could feel her trembling. He gripped her hand to steady her and he smiled at her as the priest spoke the words.They knelt down to their knees and the priest crowned her as his queen. He looked very happy to next to her and this angered some.Later that night, he worshipped her like a queen and she moaned so loud, you could hear her through the palace. Amaya lay spent next to Felipe and held his hand as she drifted off to sleep. Felipe watched her sleep and thanked God for this woman. She had made moves that no one else could. He knew he had to get some sleep. He was meeting with Eva and Ernesto in the morning. He sat up at the sound of Algeria crying in the next room. He got up and saw the nurse wi
The next day, Amaya said goodbye to her friend and returned to Spain. She got there midafternoon and noticed Felipe’s horse out front. She panicked for a moment but kept her cool as she walked in.Everyone gave her a look and Chloe walked up to her with a worried look."Where is he?"
She led her to her father’s study. He was talking with some other men. When Eva knocked on the door. He told the other men to leave. Eva walked in followed by Amaya. He relaxed against his seat when he saw Amaya. “Amaya, I must say it is a surprise to see you. With the war, you should be home.”&n
They bowed as she walked past them to inform the guards of the news. They spread the word. Amaya went to check on progress at the brothel. The ladies had worked long and hard and it was finally done. They were all pleased when they saw her walk in. “Your highness, it's completed. Would you like to see it?”
Felipe stayed for the next two days, trying to put off going back. They both knew he had to. The night before he had to leave, he was lying in bed with Amaya and Alegría. He was regretting leaving them. Amaya noticed the look on Felipe’s face and asked him what was wrong. “Felipe, I know that look. What's on your mind?”
All of them went to the bottom. Once they got there, they began to unblock the doors and clean the tunnels. Amaya pulled Maria aside. “I know you understand french. I don't want the other girls to know what I need you to do. No one knows how far along I really am. I wanting all this done now because I'll give birth soon. I know you and I don't like each other but I am trusting you. Can I depend on you?”
“That's enough. He's gone and I can't change it. With both of them gone, this is my country now. I need to start acting like it. There's stuff that needs to be done.” “What do you want to be done, my lady?”
He kissed her on the forehead and then left. She wasn’t really mad at him, but with her being pregnant, anything could set her off. She really didn’t want him to go but knew he had to. As she heard him shuffle about downstairs with the servants, she hurt more and more knowing that he would have to leave. She began crying when she heard someone tell Felipe devastating news. “My prince, I'm sorry to interrupt you. We got word that England invaded late last night. Your father left out early this morning with half the army. He
“Are you insane? Not only are you not supposed to be out of bed, but you are sleeping with a horse in your lap. What is wrong with you?” “You know what, screw you. You try being six months pregnant with your first child, then being told you can't do anything and that you have to stay in bed for three days straight. You'll never know how that feels, the pain I go through, and everything else. You did this
