"Come in Constance," came the voice from within the room.
Constance entered the queen's chamber. "You asked to see me your maje..."
Anne stepped out from behind a screen. She was completely naked. "I did," she nodded.
"Your majesty I..." Constance's cheeks flushed pink.
"I've seen how you look at me sometimes. Particularly when helping me dress."
"Oh no, your majesty I would never..." Constance was looking anywhere but at the naked woman in front of her.
"I liked it," she walked towards Constance, taking steady, graceful steps. Royal even in her footsteps. She stopped right in front of Constance. Constance finally looked at her when Anne reached out and took her hand. "It takes a great deal of effort for a queen to arrange for an entire hour to herself. I wish to spend it with you. If you would be willing."
Constance looked Anne in the eyes and saw the warmth she always saw there but had been sure she had been imagining. She swallowed loudly. "I am willing. Very willing."
"Glad to hear it," Anne smiled. "Turn around. Let me undress you. I don't want to waste a minute."
Constance turned, nervous, believing this had to be some dream or trick. She turned and moments later felt Anne's breath at her neck. Anne brushed aside her hair and as she unlaced her dress started kissing Constance's neck.
Constance closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip. Never before had an hour seemed like such a short time.
