Chapter 11 - "A Little Taste"
The Dwarves' Mines
I awoke in a pile of straw, cuddled up against a warm body. It took a few moments for me to gather my barrings as I tried to process what had happened. As I glanced to my right, I saw the perfect form of Rumpelstiltskin laying on his back with one arm folded behind his head and the other resting peacefully on his chest. My heart leaped into my throat as the memory of our escapade flooded my senses. I felt a sudden connection to him that I hadn't before.
I laid there motionless, not wanting to wake him as I wondered if the way I felt was due to the deal I had made with him? I'd never had the 'privy' of meeting him until tonight, but I was smart enough to know that any deal struck with The Dark One meant that you would be magically bound by the contract. Though, I had not signed a literal contract, so much as we had made a verbal agreement, and I wasn't certain how the rules applied to such terms.
I carefully rolled over onto my side so that I was facing him and silently watched him sleep. I wasn't sure how many minutes went by, but I had a sudden urge to touch him. With baited breath I slowly reached out to place my hand on his chest- THWAP! A loud gasp escaped my lips as he abruptly caught me by my wrist just centimeters before I could reach him. My heart was in my throat and I was frozen like a deer in the headlights.
"S-sorry," I stammered before I could help myself. Rumpelstiltskin stared at me for a long moment and his hypnotizing eyes bored into mine. Finally, he loosened his grip on my wrist and allowed me to place my hand on his chest like I had originally intended.
"No matter," he replied nonchalantly, and instead of getting scared or shying away from him, I let myself get more comfortable and moved closer so that the side of our bodies were touching. He peered down his nose at me in a curious manner and I knew that I had to be one of the few women who reacted to him the way that I did.
"Were you having a bad dream?" I asked, unsure if I was overstepping my boundaries or not.
"I don't dream," he replied rather quickly, almost taking me aback.
"What? You don't..?" I trailed off, as I wondered if perhaps he merely didn't want me to know about such private thoughts. "Huh... Well, I didn't mean to invade your space. I just..." I stopped talking as I felt my cheeks burn hot and I could hear myself screaming in my head to just shut up before I said something foolish.
"Dearie, you're the first real company I've had in a long time. I think I can handle a little invasion of space," Rumpelstiltskin said. "Besides," he added. "if anything, I'd have thought I was invading your space," he said, coyly referring to what I could only assume was our carnal interlude a few hours prior. I blushed profusely and when I didn't reply, he continued. "Or perhaps you enjoyed every moment of it."
I sucked in a deep breath involuntarily and felt my entire face burn hot with embarrassment because he was right. I had enjoyed every moment of it. In fact, I hadn't felt such ecstasy in my entire life... And now that I had a little taste of it, I wanted more.
"I was-" I began. "you were-" I faltered and exhaled, trying to calm myself. "You made me feel things I never thought I could," I said in a low voice, torn between embarrassment yet a desire to express what I had never been able to before. Rumpelstiltskin chortled, his voice echoing off the cave walls and causing my hair to stand on end. My face continued to remain flushed.
"Then I trust you are... satisfied with our deal?" he asked, sounding very pleased with himself.
I smiled shyly. "Yes. Very," I said breathlessly. All of the sudden I heard the sound of a faint voice in the distance and it made my heart stop in fear. Someone was coming. I had lost all sense of time in the dark cave that never saw sunlight and I had no idea how long I had fallen asleep for. For all I knew, it was late morning or early afternoon.
"When we reach the cell stay out of the light, and whatever you do, do not let him know your name. If he knows your name he'll have power over you," rang out a male's deep voice. With wide eyes, I hurried to bury myself in the pile of hay as fast as I could. Rumpelstiltskin merely stood and leaped onto the spiked bars in one swift stride. "Rumpelstiltskin? Rumpelstiltskin!" called the deep voice. "I have a question for you." Three hooded figures drew closer to the cell, the man who spoke held a torch.
"No... you don't," replied Rumpel in his sing-song voice from the top of the spiked bars where he acrobatically and agilely held himself in an upside down position, not much unlike a bat. He carefully spun himself right side up and leaped to the ground with a small patter. "...they do," he said, referring to the two hooded figures who hadn't spoken yet. "Snow white... and Prince Charming!" he sang the latter's name before chuckling in amusement. "You insult me. Step into the light and take off those ridiculous robes," Rumpel said while gesturing with his hands. "Ahhh, hahaha," he sighed in content followed by soft cackles of laughter. "that's much better."
"We've come to ask you about the Cu-" Prince Charming began, but was quickly cut across.
"Yes, yes, yes! I know why you're here!" Rumpelstiltskin snarled, his mood changing so fast it almost gave me whiplash. I peeked through the straw and watched. There was an apprehensive pause of silence. "You want to know about the Queen's threat," he said, now sounding calm as he spoke with his face nearly pressed up against the spiked bars.
"Tell us what you know," Snow demanded.
"Oooh, tense aren't we?" Rumpel said, toying with them. "Fear not. For I can ease your mind, but," he said, looking pleased with himself as he gestured with his hands. "it's gonna' cost ya' something in return," he said while nodding.
"No," Charming interjected. "I knew this was a waste of time," he added before making to leave, but Snow, disregarding her husband's words, drew closer to the bars.
"What do you want?" she asked with Charming right at her heels.
"Oh," Rumpelstiltskin began. "the name of your unborn child."
"Absolutely not," Charming said, but Snow interrupted.
"Deal," she said defiantly. "What do you know?"
Rumpel, still pressed against the bars looked elated. "Ahhh," he sighed in content. "the Queen has created a powerful curse. And it's coming. Soon you'll all be in a prison... just like me! Only worse! Your prison, all of our prisons will be time, and time will stop. And we'll all be trapped someplace horrible where everything we hold dear, everything we love will be ripped from us while we suffer all eternity. While the Queen celebrates! Victorious at last!" he said, practically sounding like a madman while gesturing with his hand. There was a pause where the smile fell from his face. "No more happy endings," he said, deadpan.
Snow walked right up to the spiked bars. "What can we do?" she asked.
"We can't do anything!" Rumpel replied.
"Who can?" Snow asked with furrowed brows.
Rumpel began to reach through the bars. "That little thing... growing inside your belly," he said as he touched his index finger to the bulge of her stomach. Charming drew his sword and smacked at the back of Rumpel's hand causing him to retract it with a hiss.
"Next time I cut it off," Charming postured.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Rumpel replied dangerously. "The infant is our only hope," he said to Charming before turning his head to face Snow. "Get the child to safety... Get the child to safety and on it's twenty-eighth birthday..." he said while closing his eyes as if he were trying to read the future in his minds eye. "The child will return... the child will find you... and the final battle will begin!" he said before bursting into sycophantic laughter.
"I've heard enough, we're leaving," Charming ordered as he started to steer Snow away. Rumpel continued to laugh psychotically until suddenly he was yelling. "HEY! DON'T!" he bellowed, the terrifying sound causing my hair to stand on end. "WE MADE A DEAL! I WANT HER NAME! WE HAD A DEAL! I-NEED-HER-NAME! I WANT HER NAME!"
"Her?" Charming stopped in his tracks to look over his shoulder at Rumpelstiltskin. "It's a boy," Charming said.
"Missy! Missy?" Rumpel called out, his voice suddenly soft again. Snow turned around to face him from several feet away. "You know I'm right?" Rumpel said. Snow blinked. "Tell me?" Rumpel urged her gently. "What's her name?"
Snow closed her eyes and there was a long silence. "Emma," she said quietly with a nod. "Her name is Emma." Charming stared at her with a shocked look on his face as they left the Dwarves' Mine.
"Emma," Rumpel repeated under his breath with a smile on his face before he abruptly turned and made his way to the back wall. I climbed out of the pile of straw and walked over to him as he retrieved a piece of rolled up parchment paper, a quill and a small bottle of ink from a crevise in the rocks.
"What're you doing?" I asked as I watched him dip the quill in the ink before writing the name 'Emma' over and over and over. At first he didn't reply and I decided it was probably best not to break the trance he had gone into, so I just stood there silently watching.
"Mmm, let's just say I'm making a future investment," he finally spoke while he continued to scratch Emma's name on the piece of parchment.
"This Curse... You say it will rip away everything that we hold dear? Well what about the people who don't really have anything? People like me?" I asked.
Rumpelstiltskin looked up from what he was doing and stared at me. "I suspect you will be with your boyfriend," he said simply.
I exhaled involuntarily. It felt like my heart had slammed to a halt upon such a devastating blow. "...Can you tell me what this other Land will be like..?" I asked as I tried not to let my mind race to horrid thoughts of being trapped in a lonely relationship for damn near eternity.
"I'm afraid I cannot say, Dearie, for even I have never journeyed there. Though, there is one thing I do know for certain," he paused before speaking again. "it will be a Land without magic." I blinked, dumbfounded at the idea of such a thing. No magic?
"And I suppose I won't remember any of this... will I?" I asked, starting to gather the direction this was going as I stared back into his orb-like eyes, my gaze unwavering.
"No," he said simply. "you won't." Although I was not surprised, it did not ease the pain any. It was just my luck (or lack there of) to be doomed to suffer in one way or another... I supposed it only seemed fitting that in this new Land I would suffer, as well.
"Of course not," I said with a stiff nod before I looked away, trying not to let the heartache seep in completely.
"But I will," Rumpel said.
"What?" I asked, caught off guard as I looked at him again.
"I will remember," he said coyly as I stared at him. "and I'll tell you what; I'll make you a promise that I will find you."
My heart swelled in my chest and I momentarily couldn't speak. "Y-you would do that?" I stuttered.
He chortled, the sound always startling to my senses. "But of course! I always keep my word, Dearie."
The verbal contract we had made popped into my mind right then, and I felt a little embarrassed that I had forgotten. "Oh-er... right," I laughed nervously. Suddenly I was struck with a concern. "But... how can you expect to honor an agreement if I won't even remember any of this in this other Land?"
"Oh, there are ways..." Rumpel replied with an arched brow and a suggestive expression on his face that had me all the more intrigued.
Storybrooke, Maine
As I sat in Mr. Gold's lap, our bodies so close that they fit together like a lock and key, he reached up and undid his tie before setting it aside on the night stand. He then placed both his hands on either side of my face and I closed my eyes, sighing in content as a complacent smile formed upon my lips. His hands were warm and welcoming.
Suddenly his mouth met mine and I kissed him full of hunger and a deep desire as I pressed my lips to his almost forcefully. He didn't shy away, but instead returned the kiss with his own kind of hunger and urgency as he explored my mouth with his tongue while he ran his hands through my hair... along my jawline...
Gold kept one hand in my hair while he trailed the other down my body. He stopped at the bottom of my shirt and began to lift it up. I tore my lips from his just long enough for him to pull my shirt over my head and toss it to the floor. The moment it was off, I was kissing him again... A song played on the stereo in the background; a catchy violin that caught my attention as a female vocalist began to sing.
'You're so bad, but I wanna' taste a little
Taste you have, come on over right now
Take me down, I want your poison-' The lyrics immediately made me think of Gold, and of my time spent with him in the Fairy-Tale Land when he was Rumpelstiltskin...
'-I thought this was just a phase
But everyday I slip, startin' over-er
You crawl through my skin and I letchu' in
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh'- the female vocalist crooned the chorus to the beat of the music and I broke the kiss so that I could gaze into Gold's brown eyes. He gazed back into my blue ones and I felt my heart flutter in response.
"...Remember our first night together?" I breathed with a small smile on my face.
"How could I forget?" he said with a grin. "Lucky for me, you're a wiry little thing," he added, and I blushed.
'-A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
A little taste
(Oooh)-' I playfully ran my fingers along the hollow of Gold's throat, then trailed them down his chest, dipping them under the waistband of his pants before I came back up and slid them between the buttons on his shirt. All while maintaining a mischievous, sexy smile on my face.
'-Oh, how you give me chills
Hold my breath 'til it kills me
Come on tear me apart, I'll rest in pieces
Don't stop, I haven't had enough
You're mine 'til the sun comes up
I can't have just one, one...
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh-' as the female vocalist crooned the chorus, I undid the last button and threw open Gold's shirt, exposing his chest. I bit my lower lip in yearning as I took in his form again and ran my hands along his soft skin. He briefly closed his eyes to enjoy the sensation and I took the opportunity to plant a few kisses on his pecs. The moment my lips touched his skin I heard him suck in a breath out of surprise. I smiled against his body at the reactions I caused him.
'-A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
A little taste
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
(Oooh, oooh)
Baby, I'm afraid
But I like being frightened
Baby, what's the deal with us?
Tick-tock round the idea
I fold like a convent
I pretend this isn't love-' The lyrics caught my attention again, but I didn't want to think about the context they held for me and my situation lest I run the risk of ruining the moment. Something I certainly didn't want to do. I was having too much fun and over thinking it was bound to cause a downward spiral.
'-Baby, I just want your lovin', I
Baby, I just want your lovin', I
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh-' as the chorus played, I wrapped my arms around Mr. Gold's neck and locked them in place. I then took in a few deep breaths of his magnificent scent. That alone caused my brain to go fuzzy as blood flooded to my nether regions.
'-A little taste
(Oooh)
Ooooh
A little taste
A little taste
(Oooh) Ooooh
(Oooh, oooh)-'
"Mmm, you smell so good..." I mumbled, amazed at how much his pheromones left me feeling dazed, but in a good way.
'-Take me, I just want your lovin', I
A little taste
(Oooh)
Baby, I just want your lovin'
(Oooh, oooh).' The song on the stereo came to an end, and a new one started up with a ticking sound as it turned into techno and built up with bass until a warbling synth took over. Mr. Gold flashed me an incredibly devious look as a male vocalist began to sing in a suggestive voice.
'So hot, out the box
Can we pick up the pace?
Turn it up, heat it up
I need to be entertained-' Gold turned with me in his lap and suddenly pushed me onto my back before I knew what was happening.
'-Push the limit
Are you with it?
Baby, don't be afraid
I'mma' hurt cha' real good, baby-' he raised his brow seductively as he pinned me down by my wrists, causing my pulse to speed up.
'-Let's go, it's my show
Baby, do what I say
Don't trip off the glitz
That I'm gonna' display-' It was my turn to shoot him a coy look as I remembered what it was like when he was The Dark One... when he was Rumpelstiltskin...
'-I told ya' I'mma' hold ya '
Down until you're amaaazed
Give it to ya' 'til you're
Screamin' my name-' the male vocalist sang in such a provocative way that it made me feel flustered. Especially when Gold brought his face to mine, but stopped just short of our lips touching so that I could feel the warmth emanating from them and the heat of his breath upon my skin.
'-No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart!
There's no way you'll ring thee alarm
So hold on until it's over!-' the music suddenly grew louder and more intense for the chorus. I was immobilized by both his restraint, as well as my own madly fluttering heart.
'-Oh! Do ya' know whatcha' got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment-' Gold crushed his lips to mine and my pulse thudded through my veins in response.
'-Oh! I betchu' thought I was soft and sweet
Ya' thought an angel swept you off ya' feeet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment-' there was a short pause in instruments before the techno warbling came back, but in the process, Gold broke the kiss and my eyes shot open in surprise; he had my hands bound by his tie and now he was free to do what he pleased.
'-It's alright, you'll be fine
Baby, I'm in control
Take the pain, take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes
Not your mind
Let me into your soooul
I'mma' work it 'til you're totally blown!-' I tried to concentrate on the lyrics, my cheeks heavily flushed and my breathing uneven. But Gold was planting kisses down my abdomen and I lost all focus.
'-No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart!
There's no way you'll ring thee alarm
So hold on until it's over!' Again, the instruments grew louder for the chorus of the song and I let myself go, completely giving myself to the moment as he began to remove my panties with his teeth.
'-Oh! Do ya' know what ya' got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment-' the chorus played in the background as Gold placed both his hands on either side of my thighs and using his warm mouth, he made his way to my sweet spot. I flinched involuntarily the moment I felt his lips against my clit, but all I could think about was how amazing it felt as he trailed his tongue all around.
'-Oh! I betcha' thought that I was soft and sweet
Ya' thought an angel swept ya' off your feet
Well I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment-' as the song went into an instrumental segment and the male vocalist crooned, the beat and synth solo-ed with an 80's like electronica. I was moaning and gasping aloud, unable to contain myself as he slid one of his hands up and cupped my breast.
'-Oh oh!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh oh!
(For your entertainment)-' Gold ran his thumb along my nipple in quick flicks that matched the rhythm of his tongue down below.
'-Oh oh!
(For your entertainment)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm here for your entertainment
Whoooa!
Do you like what you seee?
Whoooa, yeah, yeah!
Let me entertain ya' 'til you screeeam!-' the male vocalist crooned loudly, the lyrics making me blush, but also arousing me even further.
All of the sudden Gold plunged his tongue deep inside me, and I cried out. "Uhhn!" My body spasmed in response, my hands still bound by his tie as his mouth raped my sweet spot, bringing me closer and closer to climax.
'-Oh! Do ya' know whatchu' got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do? (To do!)
'Cause it's about to get rough for you (For you!)
I'm here for your entertainment
Oh, oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet (Betcha' thought!)
Ya' thought an angel swept ya' off your feet
Well I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment.' The song came to an end with an echo and synth sounds.
"Oh f-fuck, stop! Stop! I need you! I need you now! I'm gonna' cum!" I cried out. Gold stopped and my body twitched again, screaming out in protest. I was breathing so heavily I'd have thought I had just ran a marathon. I gazed up at him as he stared down his nose at me, a crooked, but oh so fucking sexy smirk on his face, and I watched as he undid his belt and trousers. "Hurry!" I begged breathlessly.
With a huge grin on his face, he took off the remainder of his clothes and quickly obliged in sliding between my legs. My heart was racing like mad as he hovered over me and the moment I felt him inside me, I moaned causing me to turn red as he and I held eye contact. And with every centimeter deeper he went, it just kept feeling better and better.
Just when I was worried I might cum merely from him filling me up, he bottomed out as his pelvic mound met mine. "Oh! Uhhn!" I whimpered.
"Enjoying yourself, are we?" Gold said, his face just inches from mine as he laid on top of me.
"Oh God yes," I replied instantly. He chuckled, and I couldn't tell if he was blushing or if it was just a sex flush. "Are you?"
"What do you think?" he replied as he thrust his hips. My jaw fell askew as I involuntarily mouthed indiscernible words and my body met the rhythm of his thrusts.
I bit my lower lip, my breathing heavy as I stared up into his brown eyes. While still hovering over me, he balanced on one arm and swept a few loose strands of hair from his face with his free hand. This time I thrust my hips particularly harder than normal, causing him to suck in a sharp breath. We were both on the brink of climaxing and together we fell over the edge. Our bodies shuddered against one anothers with pure and utter pleasure as we rode out the waves one-by-one until they decreased and we were left damn near gasping for breath.
Gold stared into my eyes with a soft smile on his face. A tender expression I had never seen before. It was intense. Without saying a word, he reached out and caressed the side of my cheek. I smiled and closed my eyes, concentrating on every single sensation to the fullest. I didn't want the moment to end, though as with all good things, I knew it had to eventually...
Please review! Hope you enjoyed this Chapter. Thank you for reading.
