He kissed up her thigh and along her stomach, touching every inch of her skin with his lips. Her skin was soft and it didn't surprise him that she smelled and tasted of apples, typical Evil Queen thing. With every touch, Regina arched her body and let out a soft moan. She had to admit Prince Charming knew how to make you feel wanted and he did know how to please a woman. He was really good at sex.
Once he was done kissing her body, he wrapped his arms around her, placing his strong hand on the small of her back and pushing her body closer to his. David closed his eyes as he slid in deeply and felt Regina screaming his name. There was nothing sexier than The Evil Queen's voice calling out his name over and over again; it also meant that she was enjoying every second of it. He kissed down her chest and used his tongue on each of her nipples, taking his time to pleasure her. That was something he had never done with Snow, every time they had sex he wanted it to be all about him but as he held Regina in his arms, all he wanted to do was make sure she was enjoying herself.
Regina kissed down his neck to his shoulder and digged her nails in his back every time he went deeper. Their bodies held the same rhythm and their hearts were beating at the same speed; they were practically the same person. She wanted him to know that she liked what he was doing with his body. That she loved every time he touched her. And she knew he was enjoying himself because he kept moaning her name and kissing her body. Her favorite thing about their sex was when he used his tongue on her nipples. She had to give it to Charming because he did know how to use his tongue.
When they were done, David rested his head on her stomach and felt her breathing slowing down. He ran his hands up and down her thighs and could feel the sweat from the just finished sex. She moved her fingers through his short hair and felt his heart beat calming down. That was something she'd never done with Graham; after sex he always left and they didn't get to hold each other, it was something she missed and she couldn't believe she was doing it with Snow White's husband.
"You are going to get yourself in trouble, David." She said in a low voice.
"What?" He said, obviously being taken away from his thoughts. "Oh, with Snow? Yeah, I know."
"Then why did you do it?"
"Because I wanted you, Regina, and I know you wanted me too."
"I did, but I have nothing to lose."
"Can we not talk about that right now?"
"I just… I don't understand why you would risk your marriage of years to sleep with me one night."
David raised his head and looked at her as he caressed her breasts. "Regina, you are worth it."
"I'm not." She looked away.
David sat up in bed and pulled her into a hug. He knew she had been hurt before and he had felt all the pain insider her body as he made love to her. Regina was the most fragile woman he'd ever met, even if she didn't accept it. If he looked into her eyes, he could see the painful memories from her past. Now that he knew more about her, he was able to realize that she did regret all the awful things she had done but he understood no one had ever been there for Regina to guide her through the right path.
"I don't care what you think, Regina, you are worth it." He kissed the top of her head. "You've been told so many times that you aren't good enough that you started believing it and I wish you didn't."
"I'm not good enough, David." She held onto him and wished that moment would last forever. "I am a bad woman."
"No, you just made the wrong decisions. You can change that, you have the chance to right all your wrongs."
"I just want Henry to know that I'm not evil and that I can be a good mother."
"You have been proving that to him throughout the last few days. You have been able to spend time with him and show him that you are a good mother."
"But he still hates me."
"He doesn't hate you, Gina. He's just mad because you lied to him and made him sound crazy, but, like I said, you have the chance to change that."
"Do you think he will forgive me?"
"I think he already did."
Regina couldn't understand what was going on. Was she really opening up to Prince Charming? Was he really telling her she was a good person after all? Did that mean he believed she wasn't that evil after all? She wanted to get to know him and learn about his past. All their lives, they had fought each other for years without really knowing their stories. He had been against her because it was his job to protect Snow White and she had been against him because he always fought against her. It was like they didn't decide what their relationship would be, Snow's life had dictated the kind of relationship Prince Charming and The Evil Queen would have. But now that Mary Margaret wasn't there, they had no one to tell them how to act around each other.
"Can I ask you something, David?"
"Go ahead."
"What's going to happen when she gets back? She's your wife and she coming back means your daughter gets back as well. I know you want to spend time with Emma and get to know her completely."
"Yes, I want to spend time with Emma because she's my daughter and I want to be able to be with her and Henry." He looked at her. "I have no idea what's going to happen with Snow. I cannot hide the fact that I slept with you, after all I did cheat on her and she has the right to know that."
"So, you will tell her?"
"Yes, I will."
"That's going to ruin everything between the two of you."
"I ruined my marriage the minute I decided to sleep with you."
"I'm sorry."
"What? It's not your fault! I'm a grown ass man who makes his own decisions and mine was to sleep with you and I enjoyed every minute of it, Regina."
"You did?"
"Didn't my moans give me away?"
"Yours did too. Really sexy if I may say so."
"Oh stop it!" Regina hit his chest playfully. "You are a good man, David."
"Well, thank you."
"I never actually got the chance to get to know you before we started fighting."
"We couldn't know each other, you were Snow's enemy therefore you were my enemy as well."
"Yeah, I know."
"But, we have time to know each other now." He kissed her. "Let's play a game."
"What game?"
"20 questions. I ask a question, you reply and ask me a question. Okay?"
"You start." She kissed him back.
David took a minute to think about his first question. There were many things he wanted to learn about Regina but he knew in time she'll let him learn everything about her. For now, they were just enjoying each other's company and trying to know the basic things about one and other.
"What's your favorite color?"
"Red. Yours?"
"Brown."
"That is such a boring color!"
"Hey! No judging." He laughed. "Favorite number?"
"7. And yours?"
"7 as well."
"No way!"
"Yes way! Favorite animal?"
"Horses. Let me guess, yours too."
"Yes and you still have to ask another question."
"What's your favorite food?"
"Granny's burgers! Yours?"
"Apple turnovers."
"Doesn't surprise me at all. If you could go back in time what would you do?"
"I would save Daniel from my mother. What about you?"
"I would save my mother from King George's men."
"That is one thing I wasn't responsible for and I'm really sorry you lost your mother."
"Like you said, you weren't responsible for it."
"What was the first thing that came to your mind when you knew you were going to have a baby?"
"That I hoped I was the best father any kid could ever have. What about you?"
"I just hoped that the baby would love me and never feel bad about being abandoned by his parents."
For a second Regina felt herself going back to the day in which Mr. Gold finally gave Henry to her. He was so small and so cute. His eyes, which back then were fighting between blue and green, reminded her of Charming now that she thought about it. The baby was the best thing she had gotten in many years and he made her really happy. Out of all the years she'd been in Storybrooke, her favorites had been the ones she had spent raising Henry. He was the one to paint a smile on her face and made her feel loved for the first time in a long time.
"What was Henry's first word?"
"Mom." Regina smiled proudly. "What was your first word?"
"I have no idea, probably mom as well. Which was your favorite place back at home?"
"That's an easy one, the stables at my house before I had to marry Snow's father. What about yours?"
"My house because it was in a farm and I just felt so free there without having to pretend to be someone I wasn't." He closed his eyes and thought about his past life. "Would you like to go back to Fairy Tale Land?"
"I would love to go back but only if that meant I could go back in time and find Daniel there. Would you like to go back?"
"Yes, that's what I want more than anything, I want to go back home."
"I don't really know what's left of it, though."
"I'm sure we could all work to make it look the way it used to."
"Do you want more kids?"
"I do, I would like to see my children growing and help them become young adults that know the difference between good and bad, right and wrong. Do you?"
"Yes, I do. I would like to have a kid of my own, my own blood, to feel him or her growing inside of me."
"What's going to happen when my wife gets back?"
"I really don't know but I like to think you won't forget about what we shared tonight." Regina caressed his cheek. "What do you think is going to happen when she gets back?"
"I don't know, but I will tell her I slept with you and that I don't regret it."
And in that moment, they kissed again. But this time the kiss was different. There were some kind of feelings in it, feelings that they never thought could exist between the two of them. David knew he was in trouble but he didn't care, he had enjoyed being with her and he had liked sleeping with her. Regina felt inside of her that Henry was going to be mad at her for sleeping with his grandfather but she knew that the kid would, in time, understand that she didn't mean to hurt anyone.
"I'm tired, David. Maybe we continue with the questions another time?"
"I like that, it means you'll give me the chance to get to know you a bit more."
"Yes, but not now because I cannot keep my eyes opened any longer."
"Go to sleep, my queen."
"You shouldn't go around calling me your queen, I don't think your wife's gonna like that."
"I don't think you care about that."
"You got that right."
"Sleep, Gina."
"Good night, David."
"Good night, Regina."
He held her in his arms and watched her as she fell asleep. She was a broken woman but she wasn't bad. She had done bad things but she was not that evil after all. He got to learn more about her that night and he loved that. He knew that he wanted to get to know here even more. To understand why she had done the things she did. And he wanted her to know him and learn everything about him. He wanted her to know that he had fought her only because it was his job to protect Snow White but that he wouldn't do that anymore.
David Nolan was not going to fight Regina Mills anymore; he wanted to protect her from all the bad things that could happen to her for as long as they lived.
