Even though she was appalled by their action the next time Regina initiated it...

Robin, Regina, Roland and Henry had chose Grannys for an evening out, happy to spend time with her seemingly perfect family Regina had decided it was a good idea to go for dinner. Henry was excited to see his mom finally happy and was slowly growing used to the idea of little Roland being in the picture. As the boys happily teased one another across the table and Robin read the menu her thoughts tended to stray.

She wondered what Gold was doing right that second, she worried he'd confess everything to Belle, she debated telling Robin everything herself. When Robin offered her a timid smile over his menu she changed her mind and smiled back. This is how her life should be and maybe it wasn't perfect, maybe he brought up Marian far too many times but this is what she always wanted.

She was reading her own menu and listening to the boys prattle on about useless things when the bell on the door to grannys chimed happily.

"Look it's Grandpa and Belle, can I go say hi?" Henry asked.

She glanced up just as Belle and Gold entered the diner, her smile immediately vanished. He glanced at her as he removed Belles coat and hung it on the hook by the door.

"Mom, can you let me out?" Henry asked.

She stood numbly on suddenly weak legs to allow Henry to slide from the booth and rush over towards his grandfather. He rushed to Gold and Belle and while the boy talked to them Golds eyes never left Regina. She found her entire body soon burning under her clothes just from the looks he was giving her. She pulled her eyes away and took a drink of her water, her hands were shaking.

"Are you feeling okay?" Robin asked.

"Yes."

"You look a little flushed."

She ignored him as Henry ran back to their booth and she stood to let him in. As Henry climbed back to his seat Gold and Belle walked passed their table. He reached out and just barely caressed her hand with his, just a feath light touch. Small enough nobody noticed but her. It sent a jolt of electricity through her entire body.

Belle and Gold took a booth near the back of the diner, near the bathrooms and Regina had her back to them. Still, she could feel his eyes on her back as if he was sitting beside her. She had no doubt he was using some kind of magic to make her feel his precense as keenly as she did. Ruby came and the four of them placed their order, as Robin entertained the boys with stories about his amazing robberies she felt herself growing bored.

She sat there another few minutes before making up her mind, she slipped from the booth and Robin glanced at her.

"I'll be back," She said.

He shrugged and went back to talking to the boys. Knowing he didn't suspect a thing made the thrill that much stronger as she turned and made eye contact with Gold. Belle had her back to Regina and was talking candidly, her hands moving with her story. Golds eyes locked with Reginas and he raised an eyebrow as she approached. Trying not to be obvious to everyone else she maintained eye contact as she walked passed his table, letting her arm brush against his shoulder seductively she walked into the womens bathroom.

"Excuse me a moment," Gold said, sliding from the booth. Belle smiled and turned to her menu.

He slid into the womens bathroom and Regina turned to look at him. He offered her a sly grin as he clicked the lock on the door beind him.

"Did you want something your majesty?" He asked.

"Get on your knees," She said walking closer.

"I'm sorry?"

"Get. on. Your. Knees."

She put a hand on his shoulder and eased him to his knees in front of her, liking the fact that for once he was letting her have control. Oh yes, he looked good down there.

"Kneel before your queen."

"As you wish your highness," He said, his hand trailing up her leg under her skirt.

Her stillettos and skirt put him at the right height on his knees that he could press a kiss just above her knee. Her mind breifly went to Robin, Henry and Roland, who had no idea what was going on.

"Get up," She said, pulling him to his feet.

He had just reached his feet when she kissed him, she needed his kisses to drown out her thoughts and block out her mind. He didn't waste time in returning her kiss ten-fold. His tongue slid past her lips to tangle with hers and he kissed her like he wanted to devour every inch of her. He backed her to the sink and lifted her to sit on it.

"This has to be fast, your majesty."

"I know," She said, her hands going to his zipper and belt.

"You have to be quiet."

"I can," She said.

"No. You can't," He said honestly.

"Yes, I can."

She couldn't. In the end he was right, she couldn't stay quiet. Regina was a vocal person by nature and Gold was very good at what he was doing. More than once she watched him wince at her less than silent moans, sure someone would hear. In the end the only solution was for him to keep one hand firmly clamped on her mouth. It muffled most of the noise and fueled her desire It was fast, heated and passionate. They came together like animals in a frenzy and she relished every moment. Every touch, kiss, bite, scratch sent life to the most lifeless parts of her. He touched her in ways Robin never had and never could and when it was over she'd never been so satisfied. It was just a few minutes before both were exhausted and sated. He leaned his weight against the sink and let his head fall to her shoulder. She pushed her hands through his sweat soaked hair.

"I have to go back to Belle," He said roughly.

"I know."

He pulled away from her and she watched him straighten his jacket and zip his pants, he pushed a hand through his hair pushing it from his eyes and trying to tame it. He reached out and caressed her cheek breifly.

"You better tidy up before you go out." He said.

"I will."

He gave a nod and then straightened his spine and after unlocking the door exited the bathroom. She slid from the sink onto wobbly legs and splashed water on her face. She finger combed her hair the best she could and straightened her skirt, redid her blouse and took a steadying breath. She picked her panties up from the floor and pulled them back on before walking back out to the table. She glanced breifly at Gold as she passed his table. Belle was talking and he was listening.

"Regina, you alright? I was worried." Robin said as she collapsed into the booth.

"I've never felt better."

She smiled at him a genuine smile and realized it was the truth. As wrong as it was, as sick as it was and as twisted, she never felt happier or more alive than after her moment with Gold. She smiled widely at Robin and he smiled back before turning to talk Roland.

Gold and Belle left before the family of four did and on their way out the door Gold glanced at them. They shared a silent smile before he was gone, until next time.
