Regina's body burned with passion as Robin leaned against the door after he closed it, pulling her closer to him with every touch. Their kisses becoming deeper with each passing moment. Regina pulled at the hem of his shirt, her fingertips grazing along the skin underneath. She could feel his muscles, he was strong, but his touches were so careful.

Robin caressed Regina's arms, his hands sliding to the small of her back as they moved farther into the room. He easily untied the back of her dress, letting it fall to the floor, and marveled the beautiful woman. Her soft features and obvious curves, highlighted by the lingerie she wore underneath.

Regina could only smirk as she watched Robins eyes sweep over her body, "It's my turn now." She pulled him closer, turning so he fell back onto the bed. She crawled on top of him, putting one leg on either side of his body as Robin leaned up on his hands to crash their lips together again. She desperately pulled at the bottom of his shirt, the feel of Robins fingertips on her skin driving her desire father and farther to an edge.

Robin let Regina remove his shirt, even letting her take his trousers off, but he wasn't going to let her have complete control. He could feel the way this woman worked, she'd been with men before that let her do anything, but he wanted to show her what a real man could do for her. How a real man could make her feel. He turned them over in one easy motion, Regina being so easy to object as she was put on her back.

"Robin..." She growled against his lips, she wasn't finished with him yet, but his strong arms held her chest to his. Making her breaths heavier. He placed his fingertips between her shoulder blades, inching down to the hook that kept the lace black bra around her. He unhooked the clamp, letting it fall of her shoulders to reveal more of her body. He studied her for a moment, taking in how beautiful this woman really was. Her body seemed to fit perfectly to his hands, he couldn't get enough. His lips moved down to her neck, the shiver of her body pushing him farther.

Regina held the back of his neck, keeping his lips on her skin as she let a low moan escape. She wanted him now, she needed him. "Robin, what are you waiting for?" He grinned against her skin, letting his lips work their way down her torso until her back arched off the bed. Regina reached for his hand as one of his fingers slid into her black panties, pulling them down her legs. She needed him closer, she wanted more of him.

Her wishes were met as Robin's hand moved through the inside of her thigh, finding exactly where she wanted him. Robin could feel Regina's anticipation, how much she desired at the moment. He let the tip of one of his fingers tease her entrance as his lips moved farther down her stomach. He could tell she needed it, she could easily go over her edge. He allowed one finger to slowly press inside her, feeling how tight she already was. Robin knew it wouldn't take much, he let his finger move in a slow easy motion, his tongue flicking carefully over her length.

Regina could hardly contain the sensation he sent through her. She but down hard in her lip, holding back the whimpers that were trying slip. Robin knew she wanted to release, needed to, but he wanted to watch her go slowly. He let another finger glide into her and she couldn't hold anyone. "Robin," she whimpered his name, letting her eyes close as her head fell back. He stopped, pushing his plam against her tense center. "Not yet Regina," he whispered as she whimpered again, "Not yet."

Regina could feel the muscles in her body giving way as Robins lips traveled back up her body, taking care of each placed his lips touched. He moved his body closer to hers. Regina could feel how hard he'd become, he slid into her. Regina couldn't hold anything back anymore, she let go her body shivering as he took control.

...

Regina fluttered her eyes, trying to see in the dim light. It was pitch black outside the window, only the moon shining through to give tiny slivers of light. She instantly realized she had nothing on her body, but she felt so warm. She blinked her eyes again, moving her gaze up to see Robin's sleeping face. She felt something she could hardly describe as she looked down at the blanket wrapped around them, her hand rested peacefully on his chest that moved steadily up and down. Safety. Compassion. Robin had pulled the blankets around her as she shivered once he'd laid back. He'd pulled her in closer, cuddling her into his chest. No one had done anything like that for her before. With the men she'd been with things were done and so was whoever she was with. Robin was different. She could feel that not only did he want her in the ways every woman loved to be wanted by a man, but he wanted to love her, and protect her.

Regina brushed her fingertip along his chest. She hadn't gotten the chance to just stare at him. Take in every feature she could. She gazed up at his closed eyes again, watching as his lip twitched as he slept. She smiled softly to herself, nuzzling her cheek against his warm chest. Her eyes moved down his body, seeing the muscles that were revealed before the blanket began. Regina took her time, but as her eyes moved down his arm she saw a black marking.

It was hard to make out what the mark on his smooth skin was. She was ready to give up when Robin shifted in his sleep, his arm draping over his stomach where her hand was. A small stream of moon light reviled the tattoo. The lion tattoo.

Regina's mind froze as it was. The only thoughts running through her head of the petite girl in the small green dress, "What you need, Regina, is love." She denied everything the pixie had told her, refusing to believe that the pixie dust that lad led them to a small tavern could take her to the one man that could make her happy. Her body froze. It couldn't be. After all these years... Robin couldn't be the man Tink tried so desperately to get her to meet.

Regina tied to be as still as possible, but she couldn't shake her uncomfortable feelings. Robin had made her feel different in the past few days she'd been with him. For the first time she felt like she had a chance at a real ending. He'd helped her deal with the pain of loosing her son without even knowing everything. She needed him. The more she thought the more she understood. When Zelena had came, told her that she would have everything taken from her. It wasn't her son the Witch meant, it was him. Robin... She gazed back up at his still expression. She couldn't let Zelena hurt him or Roland.

She tried to roll out away from his arms, but he held her. Eventually getting to the edge of the bed, sitting up, about to get off; she heard his muffled grumble, "Regina...?" He brushed his hands over his face, squinting his eyes toward her. "Regina... What's wrong? Where are you going?" She didn't let her body move as she felt him turn over to his side.

Robin, half awake, reached out for her. His fingertips resting on the small of her back, his thumb stroking across the skin that was still reviled. "Regina..." He whispered. Robin felt how tense the muscles in her back were, how stiff she was, but his touch seemed to ease her. "I'm just going to get something to drink," Regina attempted to reply, but her voice was shaken. "Regina..." Robin said again, starting to sit up, "Hey." Regina tired to ignore his soft hand, but Robin moved his other hand to her waist and around her stomach. "Regina, just lay back down." Robin tried to pull her closer to him. Regina turned, staring at him. Robin leaned toward her, pulling her back onto the bed and into his hold. "We can talk about this tomorrow. Just try to get some rest Regina." Regina looked up at him one last time before she laid her head back down on his chest. Her heart was still beating fast, her thoughts not clear. What would he think if she did tell him? His gentle kiss on her temple, and the soft breath he took before he closed his eyes reassured her. She closed her eyes and pushed herself back into sleep.
