She raised an eyebrow at him. "Me?"

"Yes, you and your unconditional love. You bring me back to myself." he sad, smiling sweetly at her.

She wove her arms under his, resting her head on his chest. She let out a long sigh. Why couldn't the Queen just let them be? Why are there those who just can't stand others happiness? Those who must just destroy it? She sighed again sounding as if the world rest on her shoulders.

Rumple tighten his arms around her, his thoughts matching her. His mind turned to their plans. He shivered slightly in fear, fear of losing Belle. Fear in the tortures the Evil Queen could inflict upon his love. He hoped Belle could pull off her part. She was such an honest person, lying wouldn't come easy to her. But she must do it. He also hoped he could pull of his part. It would be one of the most difficult thing he had ever done. But like she, he must follow through as well, even though it would almost kill him to do so.

She tipped her face up to see his, noting the lines of worry and exhaustion upon it. "The change, it wears you out, doesn't it?"

He smiled tiredly into her face. "I can't hide much from you. Yes, it takes a lot out of me. I think I may retire for the night. Oh." he said glancing at the mess. "Wish I would have thought of clean up before becoming a man again." he said with a slight chuckle.

"Never you mind. You go on up. I'll clean up and be up shortly. Really!" she said placing a hand up to stop his protest.

"Are you sure, love? I don't mind helping."

"Completely. Go on now." she said lightly pushing him in the direction of the door. He kissed her soundly on the lips then disappearing through the doors.

Belle finished cleaning up, then sat near the window, her eyes looking out it but not really seeing. Her thoughts were jumbled and complex. She found her mind shooting from one subject to the next. She finally gave up trying to figure out anything and walked to the kitchen to have a cup of tea. As she was preparing it her eyes lit upon a curtain, held back by a velvet tie. As she stared at the tie a plan started formulating in her mind. Grinning she abruptly abandon her tea, quickly making her way to their bedroom. Entering she saw that he was quietly slumbering and completely naked. Well, this will simplify things, she thought. Walking over to the curtains she carefully removed their ties making certain not to make a sound. Once she had four soft but strong ties in her hand she made her way over to the bed.

Rumple grinned slowly drawing out of his sleep feeling her soft hands caressing his chest. He attempt to wrap his arms around her but something stopped him. His eyes opened wide as he realize that his hands were tied to either side of the bedposts. He looked down and in the moonlight he could see that his feet were tied together and also tied to the bed. There next to him, sat his beautiful Belle with an wicked grin on her face.

As the situation dawned on him, he threw back his head and roared with laughter. Belle giggled out of relief.

"You little minx." he said smiling at her. "You are the only one who could get away with something like this, you know. Anyone else would have been facing my less kind half."

"I'm glad you are amused...now." she said her tone warning him that she had plans for him.

His brow furrowed in worry. "Ah, um you are not going to leave me here for an hour, are you?"

"Lucky for you, I don't have your kind of control. However I do have some delectable tortures planned for you." she said saucily, her hands running all over his body.

He shuddered in delight, her gentle touch warming his skin. He watched in fascination as she stepped off the bed and slowly pulled her gown off, her hand tracing a path on her body. She slowly crawled up on the bed towards him. She crawled up his body allowing her breasts to graze his flesh, till she was face to face with him. She splayed her hands across his shoulders as she leaned down driving her face into the hollow of his neck. Her tongue made small hot, wet circles on his neck. He gasped at the contact. She lightly sunk her teeth into his neck.

"Oh Belle..." he moaned. She felt her body respond to him. This is going to be harder than I thought, she quipped to herself. She brought her mouth up to his, her tongue demanding his respond. She was not disappointed as he moaned deeply. She pulled back, pushing herself up against his chest so their eyes met n the moonlight. She sent him a wanton grin that made his stomach quiver. She slid down his body stopping when her face reached his hard cock. He whimpered as he felt her hand encircle it. She very slowly stroked him up and down, watching fascinated as his cock seemed to get harder and harder. He was squirming in his bonds moaning and grunting with each of her movements. She suddenly released him. Leaning over him she lightly brought her tongue down on the sensitive underside of his cock, running her tongue from the base to the tip and back. His body froze, eyes flying wide open.

"Beeeelllllleeeee!" he groaned out. She smiled at his tortured pleasure, then took him into her mouth. Hi body unfroze then, jerking with unrestrained passion and desire.

"Belle, please! I need you. I promise you woman, I can't take much more!" he begged.

Belle ignored his pleas, intent on her task. Suddenly the room lit up in a glow. Before she knew what was happening she was on her back, face to face with the beast.

It took her only a second to figure out what happened.

"That's not fair, Rumple! Did this really inspire your rage?" she asked.

"All's fair in love and war." he grinned at her, lust gleaming in his eye. "Desperation cause the change as well, apparently."

"Apparently." she groused at him. He drew back and plunged into her. She gasped and said "Not that I'm complaining really."

His hands drew her to him, his lips, tongue, fingers everywhere at once. She lost all sense of time and place just floating on the pleasure that he was providing.

He stopped, drawing a whimper of protest from Belle.

"This will never do." he said looking thoughtful for a moment. He looked down at her, confusion clearly written on her face. "Hold on a moment." he said. He withdrew from her and moved to lie next to her. He gently turned her on her side facing away from him. He grabbed her leg pulling it up so she was open to him. He entered her from this spooning position, lean over his warm breath tantalizing her ear.

"This is quite nice, don't you think?" he breather into her ear, slowly thrusting in and out of her body.

All she could do was nod as she moaned and gasped. He released her leg, his hand reaching over it. His fingers came down on her clit, rapidly brushing back and forth across it. Belles climax hit her immediately and hard. Her hips thrust back towards him, she fucking him with the same amount of fever as he. He continued stroking her, nipping and lick her neck, shoulder and back. She could soon feel his climax approaching, his throbbing member giving it away. She none to gently shoved his hand off her clit, her hand dipping to gently caress his balls. That was his undoing. He thrust one final time, his hands gripping her hips, pulling her down on him. His body arched backwards, her name of his lips as his jizz jettisoned into her. Once his member was spent he pulled her back into him, curling his body around hers. Just as he was starting to drift off her heard her ask "Where are the curtain ties?"

"Back on the curtains." he answered cuddling down into her back.

She gave a small titter of laughter and drifted off to sleep thinking how wonderful it was to be in love with such a magical person.

The next three days were spent in feasting, love making and just enjoying each other. Belle reveled in her power to turn him into a beast or man and she made sure she enjoyed both over that three day period. On the fourth day however, Rumple looked at her sadly over the breakfast table.

"Today we must leave. It will take us at least two days to reach the Dark Palace. This will give us one extra day to go over the plan and make sure that we are clear on everything. After dinner we will need to gather our things and go."

"How does she know we are happy? She hasn't had people spying on us, has she?" Belle asked horrified at the thought that others had seen her wanton behavior.

Rumple shook his head. "No spy's. The Evil Queen gets her power from others misery. Sadness, hate, rage, etc. Once upon a time she was gaining power from me, but then you came into my life and well, she has gotten anything from me since. She only knows that someone in this castle is happy, which would block her senses from picking up any sadness, etc. So she only knows that one of us is happy. Hence why I have little doubt that my plan will work."

Belle nodded. They finished their breakfast in silence, both lost in their thoughts.
