This is so wrong, Ruby thought even as she finally felt Mr. Gold's hands on her bare skin for the first time. Her friends? Her grandmother? Would any of them even speak to her again if they knew?

She wanted it, and certainly wanted him, maybe even to the point of wanting him too much. But she couldn't completely shut out those thoughts. At least not while half of her clothes and his suit were still on.

Earlier, when they had been at the diner, her senses had been screaming at her like so many nights before. Half telling her she could look but never touch him, never kiss him, never hold him and certainly never love him. That unless she wanted to drink the poison that so many in the town likened him to she had to keep her fantasies in her head. That she couldn't even think of acting on them, not if she hoped to never be get caught in his web.

But then there was the part of her that had, more than a few times, imagined what it would be like to kiss him, wanting to know just how skilled that tongue of his could be outside of his sales pitches and instead inside of her. And here, increasingly more naked in his bed by the minutes, she knew she was about to find out. Her senses tried to scream again, almost pleading with her to stop.

She had even heard Ashley's voice in her mind for a moment. "He's got ice in his veins," she had told her. Ruby knew now just how untrue that was. Almost as soon as she had found out he wanted her they had ended up at his estate. Her own granny had always thought she was easy, now it was Mr. Gold getting to find out how true that was. Though truly only in his case.

At least that was one thing everyone in town had been right about with him, that there really wasn't anyone else like him.

When her bra hit the hardwood of his bedroom floor and his teeth grazed one of her nipples, she was ready to silence every other voice in her head. He was already under her skin, had been for years, and if he was poison like her friends had claimed then she knew she was ready for it to run through her veins; ready for it all no matter how much it may burn her later.

And when he was finally inside her, and her nails were dragging down the smooth skin of his back, and they seemed to be taking turns all but screaming the other's name, she knew it had all been worth it.

Her original senses telling her to stop be damned, these were chains Ruby knew now that she never wanted to break.

The End
