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 Yorkโs broodmare.โ I tilt back my head and look at him under my eyelashes. โYou think to bed me for love and not for children? Isnโt that sin?โ His arm comes around my waist and his palm cups my breast. โI shall make sure that it feels richly sinful,โ - Edward IV to Elizabeth Woodville -
Philippa GregoryI would know you anywhere for my true love. Whoever I was and whoever you were, I would know you at once for my true love.
Philippa GregoryWe might, either of us, be Queen of England and yet we'll always be nothing to our family.
