Free The King's Daughter (High Born Book 1) by K.T. Fisher Page B

need to have his mouth on me as much as James needs this. “Kiss me.”
    James doesn’t need another word and his lips are on mine, sweeping me into a frenzy. I still have no idea what I am doing, His hands go from my neck and down my body, touching over my gown and coat. I sigh as his kisses unfortunately come to an end. My eyes are closed and all I can hear is his heavy breathing.
    “What are you doing to me Grace?” He asks.
    I open my eyes, James is still so close and I smile, “I do not know but I fear I feel the same.”
    “I will never regret what we have shared, but I wish it did not have to end,” his voice sounds pained and my emotions mirror his.
    “Never,” I answer and James kisses me again. With no permission this time, but he didn’t need it. I didn’t want the first kiss to end in the first place. I will not regret a moment I spent with him, I pray that I will find love like this in a marriage I will eventually have.
     

     
    Tonight Grace is in the royal sitting room and as her Ladies, we all accompany her. Whilst we are sitting beside Grace, I catch Prince George looking at me from across the room. Just his gaze makes my body warm and I would be lying if I said it does not please me. Everything about George is exciting and has me panting for more, but I can’t take it further than the secret kisses we have shared, I will be only committing to my own heartbreak.
    “Princess Grace,” Greets King Louis.
    I blink through my thoughts of Prince George, I was too busy thinking about him that I didn’t see King Louis walk right by me. I have snap myself out of it, and take a sneak peek across at George. Not only is George watching me, he’s smirking and looks so sexy.
    “I am sorry Louis, but I am rather tired,” I hear Grace say.
    “But it is still early Princess, let us go on a relaxing walk,” Louis suggests.
    Grace then looks to me, raising her eyebrows, “What do you think Jane?”
    “I agree Grace, you should retire to bed if you are tired,” I suggest, playing along to her innocent game.
    “I think you are quite right,” Grace smiles, accepting King Louis hand as she stands. I’m about to stand myself but George stands above me and holds his hand out. An attractive smile in place.
    “Lady Jane,” he offers his hand out and I accept. Feeling everyone’s eyes on us as he helps me stand. “Will you meet me?” He whispers into my ear.
    “Thank you,” I curtsey and take my place behind Grace. As we walk away, I can see George smiling at me and I try my absolute best to hide my own. I constantly think of him as we walk to Grace’s bedchamber and help her change for bed.
    I enter my own room, beginning to get myself ready for bed. I’m dressed in just my white nightgown when there’s a knock on my door. I reach my dressing gown and wrap it around my body before I answer the door.  “Who is it?” I ask quietly.
    “Me,” George’s voice whispers back and I step away from my door in shock. “Jane?” I hear his voice again.
    “What are you doing here?” I open the door as quietly as I possibly can, seeing him smiling at me and my heart melts.
    “I’m here to see you, now are you going to let me in?” His eyes sparkle, full of mischief that I can’t possibly say no.
    “Quickly,” I warn him, ushering him in as I step aside. George quickly enters my room, and turns to shut the door behind him. He spins back to face me, mouth open to speak, but when his eyes land on me whatever he was about to say dies in his mouth. He stands silently, his eyes wide as he looks at me. “George?” I ask.
    “Sorry,” He slightly shakes his head. “You look beautiful.”
    His words embarrass me, “Stop it.”
    George steps closer, “I have not seen you with all of your hair down.”
    “I like to wear it up,” I add.
    “It looks beautiful down,” George smiles, his eyes wondering down. “And you are in your night clothes,”
    I bite down on my lip, nodding and smiling at the
