Just a little fun fact. Before this fic I actually didn't care for Hook Queen. I was more of a Stable Queener and a Swan Queener. After writing this, I may have made myself part of the crew on the S.S Hook Queen. Thanks for all the reviews; Starbug, tap-Violeta, Keyhlan, and Anny Rodrigues.
Regina felt Hook's hands slide from her face down to her waist and then lower yet. She considered pushing him away, not quite sure if she really did want to go there yet. After all it's only been about a week, maybe a little more since they started dating. Hell, they didn't even know if that they were dating until the night before and Hook was already trying to get in her pants. A place not even Daniel had gotten, a place her mom would kick her ass for letting him access—or would have if she was still alive. That notion scared Regina, even as a grown woman the fear she had for her mother was still very much there. With that thought in mind Regina grabbed Hook's hand and placed it back on her cheek. As for his hook, she already took note that it was dug into the sand. Hook finished kissing the queen, most likely to ask why she had taken his hand. To her surprise he didn't. Instead he stared wordlessly into her eyes, still holding her hand. Regina reached out and took his other hand—rather his hook—in hers and squeezed it gently.
"Maybe another time?" Hook asked more than he stated.
"Maybe." Regina answered as she shifted into a more comfortable position. This caused Hook to withdraw his hand and his hook.
"Shall we get back aboard the Jolly Roger?" Hook asked.
"I don't know if I want to yet." Regina answered. "I'd rather go for a walk in through the jungle. A walk where we don't have any…problems to deal with."
"If that's what you want to do." Hook answered and helped her to her feet. Regina thanked him with a smile and led him into the jungle. After a moment Hook placed his hands, so to speak, on Regina's shoulders as she wandered aimlessly, pushing vines and branches out of the way as she moved along. "So, we walking to anywhere in particular?" Hook asked lowering his hand to take hold of Regina's.
"Nope. We're just walking." Regina answered. They walked in silence for a period of time.
Hook was the one to eventually break that silence. "You aren't talking very much your majesty."
"I don't have much to say." Regina stated quite plainly.
"You sure did when you colored all over my ship." He pointed out.
"Are we back on that again?" Regina asked a slight smile playing at her lips. "I already told you, I couldn't help it."
"You sure about that mate?" Hook asked.
"Absolutely." Regina replied.
"While we're on that topic…you want to go swimming with me now? After we finish our walk I mean." Regina asked. "And with proper swim attire." She added for good measure.
"Depends are you going to allow me to actually put on proper swimwear, or are you going to send me falling into the water first?" Hook asked.
"Do you want me to?" Regina returned his teasing.
"Not particularly." Hook responded. "So we heading back yet?"
"Yes, we've been heading back." Regina pointed out.
"You sure? Because the Jolly Roger is that way." Hook pointed to the right.
"Actually, it's this way." Regina continued heading to the left.
"Regina Mills. The ship. Is this way." Hook tugged her in the other direction.
"I thought pirates had a good internal compass." Regina lifted an eyebrow.
"We do, which is why you should follow me to the left your majesty." Hook insisted. But he couldn't seem to get past Regina's royal stubbornness.
"So help me if we have to spend another night in this damn jungle without blankets and pillows…"Regina trailed off.
"Don't you worry mate, I got the blanket right here." Hook pulled out the same blanket he had let Regina use that first night they found themselves in this jungle. Regina smiled at that memory, despite the cold of that night, the memory was defiantly a warm one.
"I suppose being stuck in this jungle again wouldn't kill me." Regina smiled, her eyes seemed to gleam with happiness.
Happiness that Hook took note of. "I know you've been deprived of joy for quite some time your majesty, but do you really think this is a good time to make up for your lost smiles?"
"Yes, I kind of do." Regina answered.
"Of course you do." Hook grinned. At least Hook would be lost in the jungle—again—with someone he truly cared for. And he defiantly wasn't opposed to sharing the blanket with her again. They wandered around for hours, not coming across anything even remotely familiar. The sky was growing darker and darker still.
"Shall we stop and try to make some sort of camp?" Regina asked.
"Sounds like a good idea. I could get a fire running." Hook answered.
"Gather the wood, I'll do the rest." Regina requested.
"Will do." Hook replied. He walked about the jungle picking up some twigs and fallen branches, and some leaves along the way. He dropped in a pile at Regina's feet. The woman did not hesitate in setting them ablaze with a fireball she had conjured up. She and Hook sat themselves before the fire. "At least tonight we'll be warm." Hook pointed out.
"I'm pretty sure that blanket would have been enough." Regina pointed out. "But since we have the fire, would you mind me using it to make us a shelter?"
"You can use this one." Hook pulled out another blanket. "This time I packed an extra, just in case something like this happened."
Regina did like his precautions a lot, though he was in some aspects, at least he wasn't an idiot when it came down to getting lost. By the time Regina had the makeshift shelter up, it was dark again and the only light came from the fire and the tiny lights emitted by swarms of fireflies. Hook was now leaning against the tree Regina built their shelter around. Of course the woman was sitting in his lap, his arms around her stomach. She seemed to be gazing up at the sky deep in thought.
"All things considered, it is a nice night wouldn't you say?" Regina finally spoke up.
"I suppose it is." Hook answered.
"A bit chilly again though." She added.
"Yeah, that too." Hook muttered. He placed a kiss on Regina's left ear and then on the top of her head. She turned to face him and returned the favor by kissing him on the lips. Hook then began lowering his lips to the most tender spot on her neck. Before he knew it Regina had him on his back, staring up at her. "I could have sworn you weren't ready for this." He found himself muttering.
"I didn't think I was either…"She practically whispered letting her hand slide up his shirt. "But I think I may have changed my mind captain."
Regina snuggled closer to him. His arms wrapped around her naked body. She in turn placed her arms around him and pulled him closer. The thin blanket did little to keep out the chill, the fire had long since died out, and Regina was beginning to regret not putting at least her skirt back on. She wondered if Hook was feeling the same. At last she decided that she'd do herself that favor, with the snap of her fingers Regina was fully clade in her nightgown and she took it upon herself to put some boxers on Hook. All the while wondering why she hadn't done that earlier. With that minor mishap put aside Regina pulled herself even closer to the pirate, close enough in fact that she could feel the exhale of his every breath. So close she could hear his soft intake of air. A rhythmic pulsing that had somehow lulled her to sleep.
As you can probably tell I hadn't went into the sex scene much, mainly because I didn't know how comfortable you guys would be with it, seeing as this fic started off on a much different note. It was also because I have never actually written a semi-descriptive sex scene and I don't know how good I'd be with such. That being said if you don't mind or actually want a more descriptive sex scene let me know (I still won't go into too much detail with it though). If even that was too much let me know. I'm open to critiques in this area.
