Later that afternoon, Regina was in her chambers when a knock sounded at her door. She got up from her chair and walked over and opened the door, a sixth sense telling her who was on the other side, taking a deep breath first she then pulled the door open.
"Ah, there is my servant." Robin said as he came into her room carrying something in his hands.
"Well come on in." Regina said as she shut the door and followed him.
"Oh did you finally finish your bath?" Regina asked smiling.
"I enjoyed it a lot, except the very ending." Robin said as he turned and looked at her.
"Now what do you want?" Regina asked.
"Well see, I would love to have my favorite servant wait on me for lunch." Robin said.
"What?" Regina asked, frowning.
"Well see I have some fruit and bread here, and well I would appreciate it if my servant fed me." Robin said as he showed her the food on the tray.
"You are not old enough to feed yourself?" Regina asked.
"Oh, quite the opposite." Robin said as he laid down on her bed and motioned for her to come to the bed, she walked over, with her arms crossed and was standing beside the bed.
"Now sit down milady, and you feed me." Robin said as he laid the tray on the bed.
"You have got to be kidding me." Regina said.
"Not at all, come on milady. It's not every day you get the opportunity to feed such a handsome fellow now is it?" Robin asked with a smirk to his face.
"Oh let's just get this over with already." Regina said as she sat down on the bed. She then grabbed the tray, and as she was about to give him some of the food, Robin stopped her from beginning to feed him, he moved to her lap and put his head there.
"Now, continue." Robin said as Regina took some grapes and started to feed him one after the other. Robin as he ate them, looked up at her smiling a few times as she brought the grapes to his mouth. He would hold her fingers and his mouth would take the grape and some of her fingers would be kissed by his lips as he took the grapes.
"Relax milady, I am quite an honorable man." Robin said.
"A thief with honor, that's new." Regina said.
"And an Evil Queen with a soft spot for children." Robin said.
"Children are innocent." Regina said.
"And certain thieves are not?" Robin asked as he smiled up at her. She then grabbed some bread and broke off a small piece and put it to his lips, he took the bite in his mouth, holding her hand and kissing the inside of her wrist.
"You're enjoying this a little too much don't you think?" Regina asked. She hated to admit it, but she enjoyed the feel of his lips on her hand.
"Oh I'm quite pleased with how our wager came out." Robin said.
"I just bet you are." Regina said.
"Relax milady, I mean no harm I think my intentions are quite clear." Robin said.
"And what are your intentions thief?" Regina asked.
"I thought it would be quite obvious. I'm courting a certain lady." Robin said looking up at her letting his intentions be known.
"Courting? You're courting the Evil Queen?" Regina asked laughing.
"What makes you laugh milady? I'm perfectly serious, and I'm courting Regina." Robin said.
"I think you have been out in the woods for too long." Regina said.
"Why? Do I have competition for your affections milady?" Robin asked..
"Why yes you do. He's quite a charmer." Regina said.
"Is that so? And dare I ask who this rival is of mine for your affections?" Robin asked. He knew there was no other man.
"Doesn't matter who he is." Regina said.
"So what makes him so special?" Robin asked.
"Well, to begin with he is quite handsome." Regina said.
"More than me milady?" Robin asked, wondering who she was talking about.
"Yes, he is very much so." Regina said as Robin then put one hand behind her head and pulled her head down slowly towards him as he raised his head up.
"And has he held you in his arms milady"? Robin asked as their heads got closer.
"I held him in my arms, once." Regina said.
"And has his lips touched yours milady?" Robin asked as their lips were only inches apart.
"Not yet." Regina said.
"Good." Robin said as he touched his lips to hers. He started to kiss her gently, letting his lips glide over continued to kiss for a few moments longer, their lips in perfect order. Regina wanted the kiss to deepen, right when Robin pulled apart from her.
"Now milady, who is this rival? Do I know him?" Robin asked.
"Yes you do, quite well." Regina said smiling a secret smile at him.
"Well then tell me his name. So that I may challenge him." Robin said.
"I don't think that would be fair." Regina said.
"Why's that?" Robin said with a look of confusion on his face.
"Because he is five years old." Regina said with a smile, as Robin broke out in laughter. Now he knew who his rival was, his own son Roland.
"Well that may be the only man whose affections I can allow." Robin said.
"Now you have been fed, I think you can see you way back now." Regina said as she got off the bed and went to her chamber door, she looked back at Robin still on the bed. He chuckled as he got off the bed and followed her to the door.
"Until later, milady." Robin said as he leaned down and took her hand and kissed it on the top, before turning it over and delivering a kiss to the inside of her wrist. He then winked at her and left the room, Regina shut the door and leaned up against it taking a few deep breaths.
The thief was definitely getting to her.
