I smiled turning to look out of my window the lead work within the glass making the sunshine on my bed in the arched triangular patterns, the fire nothing but a few small golden embers lingering in the bottom grate, the room dark but the sunlight cascading through my window, the sheets had fallen loose on me she sheet just wrapped around my arse and little else I moved shuffling towards the edge of the bed but before I could an arm wrapped around me tightly

"Don't go..." rafe groaned his naked body snuggling close to my own "Don't go, Darling" he begs

"I have to, I have to put some clothes on before your pretty boy gets back fro his whore house" I smirk sitting up seeing his half-awake smitten face, his hair tousled and messy his eyes barely open, his naked body pale and skinny cuddled up in the grey sheets as I was "And you need to get some clothes yourself, you have a long ride back to your master"

"But I want to stay here with you for a little longer" He smirked

"No longer my sweet boy" I smiled getting up and wrapping my sheer robes around my body as I walked to the window to look out to the busy streets I looked back to rafe laid in my bed his arms laid across my side desperate for me to remain there but empty

"do you know what they say about you?" he asked smiling at me

"they call me your whore." I laugh

"No they don't" he laughed

"They do, Liza told me" I smiled

"Liza?" he asked

"Lady Cambridge's Handmaid" I answered fixing my hair in the mirror

"And what would she know" He smirked

"she said there where some boys talking about me at court" I laughed

"About you? Darling, they barely know who I am let alone who you are" He says

"what do they say then?" I asked slipping off my robe starting work on my corset

"They say... Cromwell should be ashamed his ward off with some whore girl all the time" He laughs

"see they do call me a whore" I laugh

"You're not a whore y/n," He says "a whore implies you've slept with someone else"

"And I've never done that" I smiled crawling back into bed and kissing him -

"Rafe! come on we need to get back else Cromwell's going to kick our asses!" Richard complained from outside

"Five more minutes" Rafe smirked slowly sliding his fingers along my half-dressed body

"Rafe come on!" Richard complained

"Alright I'm coming" He sighed

I smiled laying tucked up in my bed as he got out and got dressed "I'll come to see you Wednesday night" he reassured getting his stuff and giving my lips a kiss

"Okay," I smiled "You promise?"

"I always promise my darling" He reassured kissing my hand before he went off back to his master...
