Regina laced up her skates, staring at the ice. Upon Robin's insistence they had gone ice skating after dinner. He claimed it being a way to keep away from one another and going at a speeding rate. Regina took the translation to mean, in order for her not to end up pinned underneath him while the fire crackled, and his fingers did things she's only dreamed of to her, it was best they skate.

Now the bad part being, Regina's not skated since she was a child and doesn't know how quickly her brain is going to remember such. Meanwhile out on the ice, Robin looked like a pro. Skating circles around the others, leaving her on the sidelines watching him.

She grinned as he passed a little girl –who had toppled over and helped her up. Regina sighed, wondering why a man helping a child is such an attraction. Especially her man. What a minute, did she just think that. Hers. Well it didn't sound so farfetched. Robin's already told her how he's felt. Even though they haven't discussed it in detail.

Regina made note that while they were seeing each other during her mandatory vacation time, she would ask him just what are they.

"Are you going to stand there the entire time or are you going to join me?" Robin asked, coming up to the wall –where Regina stood.

"No, I was getting there," she said, "Eventually."

Robin chuckled, holding out his hand to help her. He could see it, she was hesitant to skate but upon not wanting to look weak in front of him, she was putting on a strong façade. He's gotten good at reading her, in their short time around one another.

"I will not let you fall milady. You have my word," He said, helping her onto the ice. Regina nodded, biting her lip. The ice was much more slippery than when she had just been standing off of it.

Like a clumsy lamb, did she topple about. Trying with all her might not to fall.

"And how am I to know your words hold no false truth," Regina said, trying to concentrate on the whole not falling on the ice and cooling off her butt thing.

"A thief has honor Milady. And my words are very truthful," Robin said.

Regina stared up at him, quirking any eyebrow. "A thief has honor. Now that's a new one. Just how honorable are you?" she asked in a seductive tone.

Robin knew what she was doing and he made a promise to himself that he would not let her little seductive acts get to him. Hence why they were on the ice in the first place. And now she stood trying to bait him.

"Its not going to work," Robin said.

Regina fixed a look of innocence. "What's not going to work. I've no idea what you're talking about. I am simply trying to see how honest are your words. Simple." She gave a smirk his way, causing Robin to let go of her hand. Regina toppled down onto the ice. Her butt touching the cool surface of freezing ice.

"Robin!" she shouted.

Quickly, Robin helped her up. Regina blew her hair out of her face. Sending daggered glares in his direction.

"You weren't suppose to let me fall," Regina said, cleaning off her hands, they had gotten wet against the ice.

Robin without much attention from anyone on the ice –who's attention all stood on skating and not the couple –whom stood in the corner of the rink, inches from one another.

"That should teach you not to tease me," he whispered into her ear, before capturing her lips in a heated kiss. Regina moaned into his mouth and wondered why the hell had she said they should go slow. Oh right! They had loose pieces of string to deal with on both their ends.

Damn, she thought. She's not going to be able to last any longer in going slow. Especially if he continues to kiss her like that.

"Robin," Regina growled –when their lips pulled apart with a pop.

Her thief winked at her before leaving her right in that corner. Regina thought how long could she last. And maybe she will have to lay on the ice to cool her heated body off.
