This hadn't been exactly how Red thought the night would end. She certainly didn't expect to be sharing a rather intimate kiss on the steps of Granny's with Belle. When she had asked her to go to dinner, she thought she wanted to hang out with a friend. Sure, she got butterflies when Belle was near her, but she didn't think anything of it. As they kissed, she felt herself catching her breath, feeling like she was drowning, but never wanting to break apart. She knew this feeling. She had felt it once before a long, long time ago. She was in love with Belle. As the kiss broke, Belle moved her face back just inches still keeping her hands firmly on the collar of Red's jacket as Red's arms remained planted around her body.

"I had a really good time tonight." Belle said in her adorable accent.

"Me too." Red replied grinning.

"I should go inside." Belle replied. Tentatively, Red let her go. Belle turned to the door, opened it, and turned back and smiled at Red. "Aren't you coming?" She finally asked.

"What?" Red's mind wasn't functioning. Was she ready for this? She had never made love to a woman. Shit. What if Belle didn't want that? Was she moving too fast? She felt her mind running 100 miles a minute as she thought.

"You live here too silly." Belle responded. Red's brain finally seemed to recognize where they were. Of course Red lived at Grannies. Belle had been renting a place there since she lost her memory. "But, I would love it if you'd join me for a movie."

Red walked in behind Belle embarrassed and excited. When they entered Belle's small room, Red wasn't surprised by the huge stack of books that sat everywhere.

"Can we watch The Notebook?" Belle asked hopefully. "Emma got me a huge stack of books from this world, and I just finished reading that one." Belle had taken immediately to the memories everyone had created for her. She knew she couldn't remember it, but somehow she knew that was who she was. She couldn't bear to be near Rumble, and she couldn't shake the feelings that had been developing for Red.

"Whatever you want." Red said almost rolling her eyes internally at having to watch this movie.

They sat on the couch. Red's arm firmly around Belle as Belle laid her head on Red's shoulder. As the movie ended, Red could detect the rise and fall of Belle's chest. She knew she was crying. She pulled her closer and placed a quick kiss on her forehead.

"That was so sad." Belle said looking up at Red with teary eyes. "I want to be someone's bird." She added.

"Well, I'm a wolf so I highly doubt you want to be my bird. Birds don't take kindly to wolves." Red added trying to make Belle smile.

Belle responded with a giggle. "Well how about I can be your forest, and you can be my wolf."

Red almost laughed at the cheesiness of it, but she had to admit that it was probably the cutest thing she had ever been asked. She moved in and placed a kiss on Belle's lips. Immediately, the kiss got deeper as they both expressed their need for the other though it. Red tentatively parted her lips to let Belle's tongue caress her own. This wasn't rough like the men she had kissed before. This was patient and kind. She found herself leaning forward to try to lie on top of Belle before realizing that this would be their first time if anything happened. She didn't want to do it on a couch. She pulled Belle into her lap so that she was straddling her before standing up with Belle firmly wrapped around her waist. Belle giggled, and this was one of the many times Red was happy to possess the strength from being a wolf.

She walked across the room to lie Belle down on the bed. She moved so that she was on top of her and immediately pressed their lips together. She let her tongue explore Belle's hot mouth as they kissed feeling her desperation for release grow as their bodies moved together.

She broke the kiss to trail wet kisses down Belle's neck to her pulse point. Belle moved her head to the side to give Red more access. Moans escaped perfect lips as Red sucked and nipped at Belle's neck. Before she moved to unbutton Belle's pale yellow button up shirt, she stopped to look Belle in the eyes.

"You can stop me at any time." Red said sincerely looking into the younger girl's eyes.

"I've never made love with anyone before." Belle said turning her head to the side looking embarrassed. "It never felt right with anyone else."

"We don't have to do anything you don't want to do." Red replied, and her love for Belle was confirmed with that simple sentence. She knew what being a wolf did to her, and she rarely passed up bodily pleasures.

"I want to." Belle replied leaning up to place another hungry kiss on Red's lips.

Red began unbuttoning Belle's shirt to reveal a red bra. She made a mental note to tell Belle that this was without a doubt her favorite color. Belle sat up slightly to remove the shirt from her body, and Red just stared at the beautiful pale skin that lay below her. She look her time running her tongue over every inch of it placing kisses at the top and bottom of Belle's sternum, at her hip bones, across her collar bone, and back around. Belle's back arched into Red when a sensitive spot was touched.

Red reached around to unhook the bra that Belle was wearing. She was amazed at how quickly and easy she was able to do it. What she saw made her heart race. Belle had a little metal bar through her right nipple. Red couldn't help but stare. She never would have imagined Belle would have something like that.

Belle knew what Red was looking at. She looked into Red's eyes before saying, "In one of the books Emma got me they talked about piercings and tattoos. I wanted to know what it felt like to have one, but I didn't want anyone to see. Does that make me a harlot?"

"No dear." Red said smiling down at the woman for using language from the enchanted forest. She knew that somewhere Belle's memory still existed.

She tentatively ran her tongue over the cold metal earning a moan from Belle. She took her time taking the nipple into her mouth to suck on it and then replacing it with her tongue swirling around it. She felt herself getting wetter and wetter. She knew her pants would be soaked. After moving to the other nipple, Red trailed kisses down the middle of Belle's beautiful skin.

She unbuttoned her jeans and lifted Belle's hips to pull them off her body taking her socks with her. She found yet another surprise under the jeans. Belle wasn't wearing any underwear. She moved down to Belle's ankles taking it into her hand. She kissed the inside of the ankle before drawing a line with her tongue from the inside of her ankle right to the apex of Belle's thigh. She did it again with the other leg wanting to taste every inch of Belle.

When she lowered herself to Belle's center, she was met with the best smell she had ever had the experience of smelling. It was something so feminine yet so uniquely Belle.

She tentatively ran her tongue over Belle's slick folds causing Belle to buck her hips into Red's mouth. She alternated between running her tongue up and down and circling Belle's clit in slow and rapid circles. Moans filled the air, and she hoped that Granny couldn't hear them. Her room happened to be right above this one. When she got the nerve, she stuck her tongue into Belle's waiting opening. Belle's body began to shake, and Red didn't need experience with a woman to know what that meant.

Belle called her name loudly into the night air as she rode out her orgasm. Red moved to the top of the bed to hold her as she came down from that beautiful high.

Red pulled the blankets over Belle before sliding off the bed to remove some of her clothes. She held Belle's perfect body pressed against her own and fell asleep happy in someone else's arms for the first time in what felt like forever.

She awoke the next morning to the sound of footsteps as Belle went into the bathroom. When she came back into the bedroom, Red smiled at her. Belle looked perplexed. Red was certain she regretted what they had done.

Instead, she smiled at Red before saying "Serious question. When you had my right nipple in your mouth did my nipple ring have both of the balls on it or was it missing one? Current situation: missing one."

Red almost laughed out loud. She knew she was sharing an intimate secret with Belle about this ring. She moved herself off the bed to place a quick kiss on Belle's lips before helping her look through the blankets for the object.

After the found it, they walked hand in hand to the dinner to have breakfast.
