Philippa Gregory Quote

I want to take you for pleasure, and hold you in my arms for desire. I want you to know that it is your kiss that I want, not another heir to the throne. You can know that I love you, quite for yourself, when I come to your bed, and not as the York’s broodmare.I tilt back my head and look at him under my eyelashes. You think to bed me for love and not for children? Isn’t that sin?His arm comes around my waist and his palm cups my breast. I shall make sure that it feels richly sinful.
