Author's Note: So, it has been a while since I have done any sort of writing but this little plot popped into my head and simply would no leave me alone. So, here for your viewing enjoyment is my first Allan/Marian story. Please review but be gentle about it as I do not customarily ship these two, although I love the stories I have read out there about the two of them together. Also, constructive criticism is much appreciated and helps me to grow as an author but I will not tolerate flames as they are uncalled for and waste the time of the author and the reviewer.
Disclaimer: Anything you recognize, I don't own although believe me, I would love nothing more. This is made simply from my love of the show and the characters and no copyright infringement is intended as well as no profit is being made from this work.
Spoilers: None as this is an AU storyline and after recently rewatching all three seasons of the Robin Hood series, I found that I had a major issue with the loose ends that were Marian and Allan's interactions during season two after he became "Gisbourne's man". I felt that there was a lot of unexplored potential between the two and they are kindred spirits of sorts because a lot of their decisions were similar and only made to protect themselves and those they loved.
Anyway, enough rambling and on to the story.
Allan's POV
The castle was silent except for the echo of my footsteps down the dark corridors. Gisbourne had been in a foul mood for the majority of the day because Marian had been away in London, entertaining the latest of the sheriffs guests so I had borne the brunt of Gisbourne's wrath when the sheriff had mocked or abused Gisbourne's patience. I was thankful for the blessed silence of the castle now. I passed the door to the dungeons and noticed that it was standing slightly ajar.
'That's odd,' I thought with a shrug, continuing on my rounds by order of Gisbourne.
I had just walked by a small alcove when suddenly I felt a hand cover my mouth and pull me back against the cold stone of the wall by the door.
"Say one word and I will kill you with this dagger," a very feminine voice whispered into my ear, the hot breath blowing over my jaw and neck and causing a shiver to run down my spine as I felt a dagger pressed against my ribs.
I put my hands up in surrender and the stranger let me go. I turned and my eyes widened in shock as I saw that it was Marian, pulling the cloak down off her head as he mahogany curls cascaded freely over her shoulders and she glared at me.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were in London," I hissed, swallowing down a lump in my throat as I continued to look at her.
The cloak she wore did nothing to hide the soft curves of her body and I licked my lips subconsciously and felt my pants get just a little bit tighter as my eyes traveled down her form, stopping briefly to admire the swell of her breasts inside the tightly bound corset top she wore before traveling down to her hips before I smiled and met her eyes once more. She glared at me, which made my grin widen as I saw the sparkle of her eyes as they momentarily clouded with lust before clearing again.
"I was but then I heard from Robin that something was going on at the castle. I assumed you would know what it was since you and Gisbourne are working together now," she said with a smug smile.
"Honestly love, I don't know anything. Gisbourne has been in a foul mood for the majority of today but I assumed it was because you were gone. He's been barking orders at me all day and frankly I'm tired and just want to go to my chambers and get some shut eye," I said with a sigh.
Marian grabbed my arm as I tried to walk away and I spun back around to look at her.
"Allan, we have to find out. What if this means the end of the gang?" she asked.
"Love, if you haven't noticed, I am not very welcome in the gang. What good does it do me to help them?" I asked.
Marian placed her hand over my mouth again and pulled me against her in a sudden kiss as we both heard someone walk by, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me deeper into the shadows as my hands landed on her hips. I wanted to pull away but she managed to shake her head as her tongue ran over my lips and I groaned softly, my tongue forcing it's way into her mouth as hers entered mine and they dueled for dominance, mine finally winning as I pinned her back against the cold, hard stone.
Okay, so sue me for ending it here….actually, on second thought don't because I have no money as I am a poor college student. Anyway, I ended it here to keep it suspenseful and because I want this to be a few chapters rather than just a really long oneshot. I will probably post the next chapter tonight as well because I am really loving this story and it's just flowing out of me. The next chapter will be the one that earns the M rating so be warned.
Reviews are love so go ahead and review. I appreciate every one of the reviews I get and hey, they help me become a better writer. :)
