Hi! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, here is the second instalment! ;)


He ventured further out of the bathroom, wanting to get a better look at her, he peered around the corner and saw a figure, she took off her coat and hung it on a peg behind the door. All he could see from the back of her was that she had dark hair, quite a bit shorter than Marian's, cropped just above her shoulders where it flicked out at little. He skimmed his eyes over her body and closed them, she was hot, from behind he could see that she had an amazing figure, her black dress tightly fitted and ending just above her knees. She kicked off her heels and without them she was quite small, it was cute really.

She turned around, her hair flicking as she did, he was about to move away when she spotted him and a smile came upon her face. In that very moment, he nearly forgot to breath, she was stunning, ridiculously pretty, her eyes were dark and done up in smoky eyeshadow, whilst her lips were painted a bright red that his eyes just seemed to be drawn to. He looked up and cleared his throat, she simply laughed and shook her head, "hi."

"Hi," he nodded awkwardly, noticing the paper bags of shopping in her arms, "would you like me to assist milady?"

"Why not," she chuckled, handing him one of the bags before leading him into the kitchen, he followed behind her, trying not to stare at her ass, she had a sway to her hips that was incredibly alluring and he swore he had never been more attracted to someone from the moment he met them, which now he thought about it was terrible, he shouldn't be allowing himself to be attracted to her, should he? He was with Marian and it felt almost like a betrayal, even if it had been her idea in the first place. "So, I don't think I caught your name," she stated, placing the bag down on the cream marble kitchen island, before turning to look at him again, leaning against it.

"Robin Locksley," he informed, putting the bag he was carrying next to hers, "and you are?"

"Regina Mills," she smirked, looking him up and down before shaking her head and clearing her throat, "I must say, the people Daniel brings home are usually a little more… bold."

"Bold?" He asked, raising his eyebrows, "meaning?"

"Don't worry," she sighed, "trust me, it's a refreshing change," she grabbed a couple of glasses out of the cupboard, "you seem to be quite the gentleman."

"Why would you say that?"

"Well, you're not staring at my breasts, that's always a great sign," she quipped sighing deeply as she moved over to the side and opened a bottle of wine, pouring a glass for them both, before returning to him and passing him one, "dear, you really do look out of your depth," she brought the glass to her lips and took a deep swing, nearly downing half of it in one go, before placing the glass down on the table and closing her eyes.

He looked at her and frowned, she didn't look very happy, not really and he wondered if he were to blame, maybe she wasn't impressed by him, he wouldn't be surprised, she was a beautiful woman and probably wanted men that were bolder, but he didn't feel himself at that moment, how was he supposed to be himself? "Are you…"

"I thought I heard you come in," Daniel stated, coming into the room and kissing her on the cheek as she offered him a small smile, "okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine, I'm going to go and freshen up a little," she breathed, straightening up and moving past Robin, before hurrying upstairs.

Robin ran his hands over his face he didn't know why he was so bothered about this, about her not appearing to like him, he had been so caught up in the idea that he might not be attracted to her, that he didn't think that she might not like him.

"So what do you think?" Daniel asked, turning around, "she's quite something isn't she," he chuckled sipping some of her drink, his pale grey eyes watching as Robin drank from his own.

"We didn't really have much time to get acquainted all that well," he shrugged, placing the glass back on the counter, he already knew that she was someone special, but he wasn't going to say that to her boyfriend, what was he really supposed to say in that occasion? 'Yes, your girlfriends really fit, I'd love to hook up with her', he thought not. "but she seems lovely."

"She is," he agreed, "Marian's great."

"Yeah," Robin nodded, he just felt so awkward, like this really wasn't his scene, it was strange to have someone talk to him about his girlfriend, especially knowing what was going to happen later.


Regina slammed her bedroom door and dropped down to sit on the edge of the bed, he seemed like a nice guy, he really did, but she was sick of this life, she didn't want it anymore, she wanted normality. This had been going on for too long now and she just wished that she could have a normal relationship where her boyfriend wasn't bringing people home all the time, where it was just the two of them, happy and committed to one another, no one else; she wasn't sure how much longer she could keep up the act.

She hadn't had the best of days, so the last thing she wanted when she got home was a quick hook-up with a couple who had clearly never done anything like this before, it was obvious they weren't regular swingers. She took a shuddery breath and unzipped her dress, allowing it to pool at her feet as she looked in the mirror and sighed, she was exhausted, she ran a hand over her face and groaned, before undoing the clasp on her bra and dropping it to the side, followed by her panties.

Once naked, she slumped into the en suite bathroom and turned on the shower, she needed to just feel at least a little more refreshed if she was going to do this. She quickly grabbed a hair tie and made sure that all her hair was piled on top of her head, before she adorned a shower cap to cover it. She washed herself quickly and got out again, wrapped up in a towel, she stood at the sink and removed her makeup, before applying a light layer, with some simple lip balm, there was no way she was going all out for this, she hadn't even known about it until four hours prior when Daniel had called her to say they'd be having company and could she bring home some wine on her way back from work.

To be honest she hadn't expected them to already be there, she wanted maybe just a few hours to herself, just a little time to relax or prepare. Daniel clearly wasn't thinking about that; she heard the bedroom door open and turned to look out, rolling her eyes when she saw Daniel, "what?" she snapped, slapping her lips together making a popping noise as she placed the chap stick back in her makeup bag.

"Hey moody," he rolled his eyes, coming up behind her as he wrapped his arms around her waist, "what's up?" he asked kissing her neck lightly.

"What's up?" she mocked, "what's up is that I have literally just got home from work Daniel," she scoffed, rummaging around for her mascara and coating her eyelashes in it gently.

"I know that, hello," he gave her a playful squeeze.

Regina closed her eyes and shook her head, "did you at least save me some dinner? I haven't eaten all day." After seeing his reflection in the mirror, she glared at him, "unbelievable, well thanks a lot Daniel," she pushed his arms from her waist, "you could have told me that you hadn't, I could have picked something up on my way home." What the hell was wrong with him? Why didn't he think about these things? She let out a heavy sigh and turned back to look at him, "shall we go get this over with?"

"Regina, what the hell is wrong with you today?"

"What the hell is wrong with me? Daniel, think long and hard about the amount of ways you might have pissed me off today and get back to me on that one," she opened her wardrobe and found a black slip dress that wasn't as tight as the one she had been wearing earlier and came down to just above the knee. She pulled it over her head as she wandered out of the room and back downstairs.


Marian came into the kitchen and Robin was simply staring at the red lipstick mark on the wine glass, he traced it gently with his fingers, thinking about the woman whose lips had left that blemish on the glass, he had barely talked to her before she had excused herself, but in the time he had seen her, she had expressed a large array of different emotions and it was almost as though they had been on the same page; without her saying it and through using silence alone, he had worked out that maybe she didn't want this either, that she would rather be doing something different with her time.

"Robin?"

He turned to look at Marian and smiled, feeling the need to at least pretend to be remotely dealing well with any of this, she was wearing a short sleeved blue dress and her hair was curled about her shoulders, reaching down to her collarbone. "Are you feeling okay?" he asked, finding her hand.

"Yes, Daniel is so kind, did you meet the girlfriend?"

"Regina, that's her name."

"Of course it is, so?"

"She was…"

"Was she hot?" Marian asked bluntly, catching him off-guard somewhat, "I mean I've seen pictures of her in Daniel's office, but is she as hot as she looks in the photos?"

"I haven't seen the photos, but I'm going to guess at yes, she was stunning," he nodded, looking down and letting out a little sigh, before tuning to glance at her, "you sure you still want to do this?" He was hoping that she would say no and they could leave this place forever; he would be able to forget about those amazing eyes that seemed to see directly into his soul and that deep husky voice that entranced him so much, geez who was he kidding, he knew he wasn't going to forget about her that easily, even after having been in the room with her for about ten minutes, he realised that she was someone he wanted to get to know further, even if it was just as a friend, which was of course all she could ever be to him, a friend. Friend with benefits by the way this night was going.

"Yeah, I am so up for this," she stated, looking extremely excited as she took his glass of wine out of his hand and had a long drink from it.

A sudden question came to mind, one that he should have definitely asked before now, he didn't know why he hadn't if he were being honest, "how does this work exactly?"

"Seriously?" Marian looked at him wide eyed, "Robin, you're literally asking me this now?"

"Yes," he shrugged, "I mean where do we all…"

"Sorry about that, I just wanted to clean myself up a little bit," Regina stated walking into the kitchen and going to pick up her glass of wine, only to find it empty, she was actually going to kill Daniel when they were next alone, which was a fairly rare occasion. Clearing her throat, she walked over to pick up the bottle and poured some more into the glass. She turned to look at the couple who were staring at her and she had a feeling that she may have just interrupted something, "sorry, do you want a minute?"

"Would you mind," Marian cringed, "I'm Marian by the way."

"Regina," she nodded, moving past them to the fridge and seeing what she could grab to eat, finding that there was nothing, she rolled her eyes and grabbed an apple out of the bowl, "excuse me," she went to leave, flashing a look back at Robin. His blue eyes were watching her as she left and she couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach, she rose her eyebrows at him, before closing the kitchen door behind her.

"Marian," Robin shook his head. That had been an interesting moment, he couldn't keep his eyes off Regina, she just really intrigued him, everything about her, she was mysterious and he liked it, "I can't believe you just had her leave her own kitchen."

"Robin, we were having a discussion and unless you wanted the swinger to tell you how it works, whilst thinking to herself that you are a complete moron, then I could have let her stay, she was the one who suggested giving us a minute." She glared at him and sighed, "I can't believe you don't know how this works already."

"Well I know the basics and I am not a complete moron, I'm doing this for you Marian and I don't appreciate…"

"Robin, you fuck her, that all there is to it," she cut him off, taking his drink with her, before heading into the living room.

He already knew that part, but were they all meant to be involved with one another, did they do it at the same time or separately, surely it would be a little distracting having sex next to another couple who were also having sex, surely he'd lose his rhythm or concentration, probably both. His head was so messed up, he didn't know what to think anymore, he was just going to go with it and if he cocked it up, they didn't have to do it again, he wouldn't have to do it again.

Nodding, he followed after the two women that had left before him, they were sat on the couch talking, Regina was eating her red apple, as she spotted him.

She smiled and beckoned him over to them, patting the couch in between her and Marian, "come sit," she stated, dropping the remnants of the apple into her empty wine glass, before tucking her hair behind her ear. She wanted to get a closer look at him, he followed orders and sat down beside her, "I don't bite," she chuckled, stroking her hand over his shoulder gently, "unless you're into that," she smirked, seeing the raise of his eyebrow. She grinned at him as she looked at his face, he was more handsome than she had first thought, he had a dorky naivety about him which made him more attractive in her eyes. His stubble suited him and she moved her hand up to touch it, gently stroking his cheek.

God, she was stunning and her touch was so tender, yet purposeful, she had a soft smile playing on her lips and that was when he noticed it, a rather prominent scar on her top lip, he immediately found himself wanting to know how she got it, but he didn't want to ask, that was way too forward. He felt Marian run her hands up his back as she placed a light kiss on his neck, in that moment he decided he was just going to see where it went, he was going to let them take charge. He reached out to stroke Regina's cheek gently as she pulled her glossy lip between her teeth in a way that was incredibly sexy.

She moved her other hand to take Marian's, threading their fingers together in Robin's lap, she moved closer to him; maybe she had been a little hasty in what she thought earlier, maybe this could be fun. "So, neither of you have done this before I take it," she stated, bringing her feet up underneath her on the couch.

Robin shook his head as he watched her, she cast him a smirk before looking at Marian and grabbing the collar of her dress, before pulling her towards her and pressing their lips together. Robin's eyes went wide as he watched them kiss over him, it was the biggest turn on ever and he let out a groan that had Regina opening her eyes and looking at him, before pulling back and staring at his lips. He swallowed heavily and looked to Marian who simply nodded at him.

"Don't worry," Regina stated, "you're in safe hands," her hand stroked his shoulder as she leant in, she was about to kiss him when they heard the door open.

"Starting without me?" Daniel asked as they all turned to look at him. No sooner had it started, the moment was over and the illusion for Robin was shattered as he remembered that it wasn't just the three of them, there was also another guy, that in his eyes made it more intimidating.

"Of course, not," Regina sighed, straightening up and moving off the sofa, "why ever would we do that?" Leaning down she picked up her wine glass and left the room, she dropped the apple in the bin, before rinsing her glass and putting it back next the bottle of wine, she knew that she would definitely be wanting another glass later. When she went to join them again, they were already coming out of the sitting room, she tucked her hair behind her ear and looked to Robin who was following behind nervously, it was actually quite cute.

Letting out a little laugh, she shook her head at him, leaning against the door frame, "we're taking this somewhere a little more comfortable." Her boyfriend stated, Marian holding onto his arm.

"Yep," she agreed, letting Daniel lead the other woman upstairs as Robin walked towards her and they both watched them go. "So?"

"This is so weird."

Regina let out a chuckle and nodded, "hmm. Do you want to go up?" She asked, her hand coming back to where it had been earlier, sitting on his cheek.

"Is running out of that door right now an option?" he laughed.

"It is if you want to leave your girlfriend here with a couple of swingers, apparently, she's into it."

"It was her idea," he confessed, exhaling deeply as he looked at her.

"I guessed as much, it was pretty obvious," she shrugged.

"Damn, I should have tried to conceal it better."

"Probably," she wrinkled her nose as she watched him, a soft smile came onto her face as she found his hand, he was a genuine loyal guy, that was for sure, she could tell, most of the guys they had done this with were cocky and confident, but not him.

"She is into it isn't she," he sighed, he knew she would be, she was the one to suggest it and he had already seen how she was interacting with Daniel, god for all he knew they were already upstairs naked.

"More than me I'd wager," Regina laughed, before sighing, she hadn't exactly meant to say that, she and Daniel had always oozed confidence when they did this sort of thing and they did it quite regularly, had a regular couple and everything.

He frowned, he knew he had seen some sort of reluctance on her part, he was glad he hadn't just been imagining it, but it was kind of a bummer when he was supposed to be the one she was sleeping with, "you're not into it?"

"Come on," she whispered, tugging his arm, "I think we better be joining them. You are coming, aren't you?" She rose her eyebrows before casting him a little smirk.

He chucked and nodded, she was irresistible when she did that and it was the first time he had ever seen it, but he found himself wishing that she would do it again. He took a deep breath, it was now or never and looking at her made the decision for him, "yeah, I'm coming."
