I hope you all like this chapter. I tried to make it a longer scene then I normally do. Please let me know what you think, as I wanted it to really pop and am hoping it does not come across like it is full of fillers. Also I reread some of my previous chapters this past weekend and realized that I am in serious need of a beta reader...any takers? Please, please! Ok anyhoo, enjoy!

Tonight we're gonna do something different,
Tonight we're gonna touch a little different.
I'm gonna wait on you hand and foot, like the king you are baby,
Just lay back and I'll show you the way.

Regina hesitantly lifted her hand to Robin's cheek. Robin closed his eyes as she gently caressed his face but did not make a single move toward her. He wanted her to set pace and so desperately did not want to scare her off.

"Sometimes," Regina said softly, her eyes dancing across his features. "I think this is all a dream. Other times I wish it was just a dream so I would be able to just let go. I have spent most of my life being in control of everything that I do. I can't remember the last time I just let go, the last time I was out of control. It's such a foreign feeling for me and honestly it scares me. My own happiness has not mattered to me in so long. Only vengeance. I don't think that I really know how to achieve happiness. If, and that's a big if, we go down this path it's going to be a very rough path. It's not just about my mother but it's about me too. I will slip and I will faulter. I will get scared and I will get defensive. I will pull away. I can be moody and indecisive. I will change my mind hundreds, maybe thousands of times. I will seek vengeance if I feel it necessary, it's what I do. There are things about me that I can't accept, I hardly believe that you would be able to. And when it comes down to it, well I am just not a very good person. I'm not sure that I ever was."

Robin sat silently observing Regina, contemplating her words and his reply. He could hear the pain in her words and feel it radiating off her body. It wasn't some excuse she was making up, she was being one hundred percent honest with her and he had to respond in kind. He reached out and gently took her hand, his thumb softly stroking the back of her hand.

"I have never really believed that there was such a thing as good people and bad people. I feel everyone has both good and bad in them. Maybe I feel that way because of what I do, what my past has been like and the things that I have seen. Regina, no one has a clean past. I truly believe that good and evil is not born, both are made. Shaped by a persons past and what they want to become in the future. Being with you will be hard, I know that. And being with me may not be the picnic you are thinking it will. But something I have learned in my life. Nothing worth doing is ever easy. Strong love is built on trials and overcoming those trials. When my wife died I never thought I could possibly be happy again in my life. My plan was to raise my son into a good man, make sure that his feet were on a good and decent path. After that I cared not what happened to me. That's one of the reasons I surround him and I with a band of merry men. He should have someone that is happy in his life. I fake it well for him, but as he ages he will be able to see through that. He needs to see what real happiness looks like. Now that I have met you, well I think we have a shot at real happiness. I think together we can find it."

Regina looked at their joined hands as she listened to him speak. As she brought her tear filled eyes up to meet his, she said "I don't think I can take another heart break in my life. I don't think I have ever been this scared in my life." She dropped her eyes down to the floor, shame flaming her cheeks. The Evil Queen was not suppose to be afraid of anything.

"I can't promise you lollipops and rainbows." Regina half chuckled, half sobbed at this, her eyes on his again. He grabbed both of her hands and kissed them. "But I can promise that if you give us a chance, Regina I will never break your heart. Never."

As if he spoke some magic words, Regina finally let go. She drew his face to hers, gently skimming her lips across his. She slowly kissed him along his jaw line, the corners of his mouth, her hands stroking his hair. He brought his hands up to her hair, pulling the pins out of it, freeing it to fall along her shoulders and down her back. He ran his hands through it, enjoying the feel of the silken tresses. Regina closed her eyes, enraptured by his seemingly magic touch. He drew her to him, her neck cradled in the crook of his arm. His other hand gently pushed her hair out of her face. There they sat staring into each others eyes. Their eyes sharing and saying so much.

"You are so beautiful, Regina. Not just on the outside. When I look into your eyes I can see the beauty there as well. You are a beautiful soul, whether you realize it or not." He whispered to her.

He lowered his mouth to hers, his tongue sweeping along her bottom lip before meeting hers. A husky groan emerged from the Queens red lips. Robin laid back pulling her along with him, until they lay in front of the fire side by side. As he kissed her again her hands found their way to the buttons on his shirt. Slowly one by one she unbuttoned them until she was able to get her hands inside. Then her hands were everywhere on him, his chest, stomach and shoulders. He trembled with desire, his breath coming in with a hiss. He went to roll Regina over on her back but she stopped him.

"Let the Queen have control, at least one last time." She said with a pout, her red lips swollen from their kisses.

"If this is the way you take control, my succulent Queen, then this shall not be the last time you shall have it." Robin replied with a twinkle in his eye.

Regina lifted an eyebrow at him, a saucy grin on her face. She gently pushed him down on his back, then drew back from him. The grin still sitting pleasantly on her face, her left hand slid under the dress at her right shoulder. She slowly started working the dress down her arm. She moved it down a few inches then repeated the process on the other arm.

"Oh my." Robin breathed. She smiled wickedly at him, then push the dress down to her hips, her breasts spilled forward out of the dress. Robin immediately reached for them but Regina stopped him.

"No, no. Not done." She rose to her feet and with great flourish pushed the dress from her hips to the ground, it falling in a pool around her feet. She stepped out of it and gave it a little kick. She stood completely naked, her arms akimbo looking at him.

"Ahh, that's much better." She sighed out.

"Oh yes, much better." Robin said huskily.

She sank to the ground next to him, her legs folded under her. She helped him remove his shirt and watched giddily as he removed his breeches. She gently pushed him back down, her hands stroking his shoulders. He brought his hands to her breasts, eager to feel their weight in his palms. He kneaded them gently, then brushed them with his fingers bringing a shudder from Regina. She gently grasped his wrists.

She took a deep breath, then let it out in a shudder. "I am the one in control here and if you don't stop I am going to completely lose it."

He looked at her sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Regina. I just have such a hard time controlling myself around you."

"Please try." Regina said softly, a sulky look on her face.

"For you, I will try." Robin said, balling his hands into fists and placing them at his sides.

"Good boy." Regina said with a smirk, then she leaned over and kissed him, her nails slowly raking down his chest. Robin gasped at the feeling, his body shaking as her tried to control himself. Regina moved from his mouth and spread a trail of torrid, wet kisses along his well toned pecs. His hands plunged into her hair as she tongued across his stomach, a loud moan coming from his lips. She licked her way down to his hip, gently nibbling upon it, then switching to the other.

"Regina!" Robin practically sobbed. "You are driving me crazy!"

Regina brought her head up, her eyes meeting his. "You haven't seen nothing yet." she said with a sinister laugh. Then she gently but firmly fisted his erection, pushing it slowly between her warm, moist lips. Robin gasped then let out a long, loud moan as his body tensed, his toes curled. He briefly wondered if he was having a heart attack, but all thoughts fled as Regina pumped him in and out of her mouth.

"Regina, please!" Robin begged. "I'm not going to last much longer."

Regina needed no other urging. She quickly straddled his hips, sinking down his length to the base. A shudder went through both of them. She rode him with a fiery passion, now completely out of control of herself. Robin's hand traveled to her clit, circling it with his thumb. That was all it took as Regina fell over the edge, his name on her lips as she was set a drift in a pool of bliss. Feeling her go over the edge, her body pulling on him, drawing him in deeper, hearing her call his name, sent him spinning off into his own gratification. He pulled her down to him, his lips crashing against hers as his seed spilled within her. Completely exhausted, they curled up together in the glow of their love making and fell into a deep slumber, each feeling safe within the others arms.
