Oh my gosh! I am a horrible person! I'm so sorry guys. I've been super busy with school and cleaning the house for my baby cousin who is visiting in a few days. There has been no time for doing any writing, I got up super early this morning just so I could have a couple hours to write. I might post again today just to make up for it.

SMUT WARNING You have all been so patient so I thought why not. There will be a second chapter with the censored version if you're not comfortable. Thanks for being so understanding, and please enjoy my dearies! -Jack

Chapter 9

Belle stared in confusion, her eyebrows knitting together. "H-How? What?" Rumpelstiltskin and the man both chuckled.

"Belle, dearest. This is an old friend of mine" Rumpelstiltskin gestured to the newcomer. "Meet Jefferson" Jefferson bowed extravagantly. Belle was still very confused.

"You died." She spoke as if confirming this fact to herself. "How are you here?" She finally asked. Rumpelstiltskin leaned back on the bed and pulled her into his lap and Jefferson sat crossed legged against the footboard.

"I learned how to survive a beheading in Wonderland, quite a useful trick" He answered with a goofy grin. "I've heard lots about you Belle"

"Wish I could say the same" She said sarcastically and glared at Rumpelstiltskin. "It would have been nice if you brought friends over once in awhile" He giggled and pulled her tighter against him.

"But then you and I wouldn't have been alone" He said with a mischievous grin. Belle rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at her lover. The three of them sat and talked for an hour before Jefferson realized the time.

"Sorry but I have to be leaving now." He apologized "My daughters expecting me" Jefferson pressed a kiss to Belle's hand then shook Rumpelstiltskin's. "See you around!" Then he ran out the door.

"He's fun" Belle commented.

"I suppose" Rumpelstiltskin replied. Belle yawned and rubbed her eyes with the palms of her hands, he looked at her and smiled. I must be the luckiest man alive He thought to himself, his eyes narrowed and he shook his head. I'm not a man, and she deserves better. She knew what he was thinking about, it had happened before, the way his eyes darkened and the muscles in his neck stood out.

"I love you, and there isn't anything that can change that. I love you" She closed the space between them and held on to him tightly. He wanted to push her away, tell her to leave, that she should go enjoy the rest of her life, but he didn't. He wrapped his arms around her and finally breathed.

"I'm sorry, I did it again" He sighed, gently brushing the hair from her face. "C'mon, lets get you to bed" she knew he didn't want to talk about it anymore so she didn't push it. He cleared the bed as she searched her bag for something to wear. "Did you not bring something to wear to bed?" He asked, because at this point all the clothes she had brought were thrown on the floor and she was rummaging through the pile. She mumbled some words that were unfit for a princess to say and looked at him in desperation. He smirked and sat crossed legged on the floor in front of her, "Oh, whatever shall you wear?" he said mischievously. Her eyes widened and her lips pouted.

"You did this!?" Belle said in exasperation. "Fine" She stated and peeled off the leather trousers, then shucked off the vest and took off the shirt leaving her wearing nothing. He stared at her in disbelief. She strode to the other side of the room and tucked herself under the covers. He thought she'd ask him for his shirt, he didn't mean for her to strip to nothing and sleep. Goddamnit, He thought and lifted his top over his head and hopped into the bed with her.

"Dearest, I apologize. I never meant to-" He trailed off when a small hand cupped him through his pants. "Oh dear" His breath hitched in his chest. His gaze fell on a pair of blue eyes peering at him through the covers, the hand began rubbing him through the fabric and a shiver moved down his spine. Another hand slipped in the waistband of the pants and slowly pulled them down. Her hands danced on his legs, making spirals as they made their way back up. He could see the smirk in her eyes, and suddenly he couldn't even see her eyes, she had disappeared under the blanket and then he could feel her tongue swirl around his tip. He entangled his hand in her hair and coaxed her to take him into her mouth, his eyes almost rolled back into his head when she started to suck on his length. She gained a rhythm and he had to bite his knuckle to stop from cumming too soon. He was about to finish when she stopped and poked her head out of the blankets and laughed. She studied the way he looked in that moment, with his teeth clenched around his finger, eyes shut tight. Rumpelstiltskin whined and immediately cursed himself for the non-masculine noise. "Wh-why?" He was too flustered to say anything more. She disappeared again and he felt her lips pressing gentle kisses to his hips and then her hands moving up and down his member. Belle began to suck again and he finished with a low, guttural moan, she swallowed then crawled up the bed to lie in the crook of his arm. Once his breath was back to normal, he turned and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Now can I have a shirt?" She asked in a sarcastic tone that made him giggle. He snapped his fingers and she was in a soft cotton nightgown. "Thanks Rumpel" She said with a smirk.

"Anytime, dearest. As much as I loved that, if you had asked I would have given you something to wear" He said in a hushed tone, she loved when his voice did this, his accent came out the most when he got quiet.

"I love you" Her voice barely came out in a whisper but she knew he heard.

"I know" His reply was hesitant. The human in him wanted to tell her he loved her so badly, but his dark side couldn't let him lower his defences. He was tearing himself in two. "Belle, there is something I need to tell you" She looked up and saw the pain in his eyes. "I have created a curse" Belles brow furrowed in confusion "This curse will send everyone in this land to another, one without magic" He sighed and continued "Everyone will forget everything and we'll have fake memories, even me. We will be there for twenty-eight years before we remember anything" She gasped.

"What? Why?" Her smile had faded.

"It's time I told you my story" Belles face softened and she snuggled in closer. "It all started many, many years ago. I was married to a young woman named Milah, it was an arranged marriage and she was never really fond of me. This was before I was cursed, I was a spinner. One day I was called to the front for battle, that was the same day I found out Milah was with child. I was ecstatic, and I went to the fronts with high hopes. When I got there many were injured and more dead, I met a seer and she prophesized that my actions in battle would leave my son fatherless. So I did what I had to and crippled myself, it would have gotten better but the general made me walk home as punishment for my cowardice. I went back home branded the village coward" Belles grip tightened on his chest "My son, Baelfire, was born and Milah disowned me. She would go out to the pub each night and sleep with the men there whilst I took care of our child. When Bae was 4 she ran off with a pirate, I challenged the same man a week later and lost. It was hard to raise my son on my own and make sure he didn't think I was a coward too. I needed to be strong for my son. Bae was a good boy and one day they lowered the age restriction on the war, Baelfire's birthday was a week away and they were going to take him. I learned about the Dark One and figured that if I had that power, I could save my boy from the war. I inherited that power and made sure the king raised the age limit and rescued all the children from the front. That was the one good thing I did, the darkness overtook me and I became a monster. My son made a deal with me, if he found a way to get rid of the power, I would do it. That was the one deal I broke. My son obtained a magic bean and we were going to go to a land without magic, when he opened the portal he went to jump in and I stopped him. I couldn't live without the power, he was dangling there and I dropped him. I sent him to an unknown world and I truly was a coward that day"

"And this curse will take you to your son" She whispered, Rumpelstiltskin nodded in reply and she smiled. "Then I'm happy" This shocked him and he frowned.

"Happy? You'll be ripped from this world, from this life" He said in disbelief, she looked up at him and smiled.

"You are my life, as long as I'm with you I'll be happy" Belles voice echoed in his ears, his heart skipped and he held her closer.

"Goodnight, dearest" He told her and rested his head on the pillow.
