The next morning, Katie slowly woke up. Edward had one of his arms wrapped around Katie during the night, grunting a bit before he would slowly wake up. Katie's eyes fluttered open and she gasped in surprise as her mind hadn't yet caught up that she was in bed with Edward. She blushed though as she realized she must have kicked her trousers off in her sleep. Edward chuckled sleepily as he was wrapped securely around her. Katie blushed and tried to carefully get out of his hold.

"Where are you going?" Edward mumbled out as Katie's movements seemed to wake him up.

Katie blushed. "Bathroom?" she tried with a whisper.

"Maybe in a minute," Edward smirked. "I thought you and I could have some nice pillow talk first."

"P-Pillow talk?" Katie asked.

"Am I using that phrase right?" Edward replied with a smirk. "I think you should spend a little more time with me~"

Katie blushed as she got his meaning. "I-I shouldn't." she whispered, though blushed as her slight struggling made her very aware of his morning 'friend'.

"Oh... I don't think you wanna do that..." Edward replied as he soon sat up and grabbed her arm suddenly. "I thought you and I could have a little talk and... Get to know each other better... Especially after last night..." he then said before forcing a kiss right onto her lips before she could say or do anything differently.

Katie squeaked in surprise from the kiss and flailed a little to try and put a little space between them. Edward held onto her as he held her down, towering over her and taking over as the more dominant predator while he still had the adrenaline rush. Katie gasped and whimpered at how strong he was. Edward then began to kiss away from her lips and soon kissed down her cheek and leading down to her neck, working his way down. Katie stiffened in surprise but gave a soft moan as her body sent pleasure signals. She weakly, and getting weaker willed by the second, tried to push him away glad at least that her tank top and panties still covered her.

"Where's your weak spot?" Edward whispered into her ear as he moved his hands down to below her stomach area. "Do you like it when you get touched... Here?" he then asked, about to stick his finger in.

Katie whimpered a little, her eyes closing as she bit her lip and covered her mouth to hide her moan.

"I'll take that as a yes..." Edward grinned as he soon began to finger her while also keeping her down flat on her back, no longer using the kinder gentleman ethics he was practicing to reform himself and distance himself away from Jekyll's true evil. He didn't stop for a while as he looked down at her as she seemed so pure and innocent as he was dark and dangerous, but right now, also full of lust.

Katie's face was flushed and she panted softly. "E-Edward~" she gasped, her body tensing a little.

"Say my name... Say my name..." Edward whispered as he began to move his hand and went to press his mouth to below her stomach a bit.

Katie moaned softly. "E-Edward~" she whimpered, but tried to muffle it again by covering her mouth.

"You like that, don't you?" Edward smirked.

Katie whimpered behind her hand, her cheeks blushing more. Edward began to glisten against her with his tongue over her previously dry skin while pinning her down in the process. Katie bit her hand to muffle the moans caused by his actions, but whimpered out Killian's name, hoping maybe that would stop the man she considered friend.

"Killian?" Edward repeated as overheard that.

Katie opened her eyes, revealing her two blue eyes, though he was currently blurry to her as she wasn't wearing her glasses. Edward soon slowly rose up after handling her nether regions and soon began to nibble on her ear suddenly.

Katie shivered at that feeling. "W-What are you d-doing?~" she gasped, having to remove her hand to ask as she tilted her head a little.

"Just trying out some new things," Edward smirked. "You gave me some hints last night, so I'm gonna do something about it~"

Katie shivered again, with a quiet moan. Edward continued to nibble before he soon moved his hand to her bare chest and clutched one of her breasts for support as he cuddled into her deeply. Katie gasped, her body tensing before relaxing a bit. Edward soon suddenly stopped, looking playful to see how she would react if he just suddenly stopped like that and looked like he was about to leave her alone in bed.

Katie let out a noise of complaint at the sudden stop but looked like she was also going to go towards the bathroom. "I-It's not nice to leave a lady wanting, luckily I'm a modern lady too..." she muttered as she turned and leaned down to grab her clothes, accidentally giving him a rather nice view of her vulnerable side.

"So... You want to continue, do you?" Edward asked with a small smirk as he glanced over. "You want me to finish what I started?'

Katie blushed, but didn't answer.

"We can always try again later," Edward smirked at Katie as he leaned back over her. "If you wish to see me again... I don't have anywhere else to go."

Katie trembled a little to that. "I-I like you, Edward but I'm Killian's and I won't cheat... I can only offer you friendship," she said, trying to slip from under him while she had the chance. Her body wanted its finish but she could do that in the shower.

'What a disappointment, huh? You're stronger and she was starting to accept it, but now she's going to leave~' The shadow's voice hissed tauntingly, as it still had a slight connection to Edward.

Edward simply watched her go as he buried his face into his hands. "No... I shouldn't do this..." he said, nearly coming out of the shadow's control. "...I want to be a gentleman... I don't want people to be afraid of me... I want to make things right with my life and this isn't the way to do it." he then argued, but not very strongly.

Katie headed to the bathroom.

'If you make her part yours she can bring you to a better life, and even when you were being strong while manhandling her she wasn't scared was she~?' it hissed. 'And with her being partly yours you can be the gentleman for her, opposite to the pirate rogue~' The shadow enticed.

"...I suppose that's a good point..." Edward said, trying to stay strong, but was quickly falling prey into the shadow's offers again. "She seemed to enjoy herself on the way..."

'Yes, she did~' The shadow agreed. 'And besides, she has love enough to share, she accepts you as you, not a monster... Unlike Mary who couldn't after she found out you were the other side to Jekyll~' it told him. 'Katie knows and still accepts you~' it finished.

"Mary..." Edward repeated softly as he thought about that and remembered it vividly. "You're right about that too..."

'Then know I am right about this~' The shadow told him. 'Go to her before she leaves you just because her mind is ignorant to her body and heart~' it told him.

"...Very well," Edward replied as he began to change his mindset so to be dominant and more professional. "I have to do this for myself."

'Yes, you do~' it assured him.

"...All right," Edward said. "I can do this... I'll show her... I'll show that pirate... I'll show them all..."

Gold was sleeping beside Cherry, not seeming to be getting up early for once. Cherry lightly snuffled in her sleep, rubbing up against him without realizing it as she was fast asleep. Gold murmured and held her close.

Cherry mumbled as she snuggled into his chest a little with a small smirk forming on her face. "Mm... Lilac..." she then mumbled out.

Gold then started to wake up. Cherry giggled a bit in her sleep as she cuddled up against him, muttering gibberish. Gold looked confused a moment, but kissed her forehead fondly. Cherry shuddered slightly before her eyes fluttered and she looked up at him before shrieking and burying herself under the comfort, shivering and whimpering suddenly as she was still in shock over last night.

"What's the matter?" Gold asked due to her reaction, his normal brown eyes concerned.

"You scared me last night," Cherry muffled from under the covers, like a frightened child. "Couldn't you have at least warned me?"

"About what, dearie?" Gold asked.

Cherry then stopped as she flipped the comforter off of her body, narrowing her eyes at him. "Oh... Like you don't even know or remember, jerk..." she then said with a scoff. "That's a funny story."

Gold looked truly confused.

Cherry scoffed and crossed her arms at him before looking at him and sighed as she rolled her eyes before explaining to him what had happened last night. "So you were just Rumplestiltskin again," she then said to him. "And you promised to help me out with my magic. I came home after dinner with Katie, Mary Margaret, and David... Then you just... I dunno, decided to be creepy, scary, ugly Rumple and you'd help me out... Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours."

"I wasn't ugly." Gold could only mutter in shock.

Cherry just gave him a deadpan face. "Sorry..." she then said in a bit of a sassy tone of voice. "But yeah... That's what happened last night... I don't know where Belle was, you said she couldn't hear me scream or something like that... So we agreed that you'd help me with my magic... You laughed a bunch of times... I signed a contract... You pretty much forced a good night kiss out of me."

"I honestly don't remember that, dearie." Gold told her.

"Whatever..." Cherry rolled her eyes. "I know it happened... I have a pretty strong memory. I guess you just had a wee bit too much Scotch~..." she then said in a teasing Scottish accent of her own.

"I didn't drink, dearie," Gold told her. "But if you don't stop giving me sass, then I'll have to punish you~" he warned her, with a slight smirk starting to form.

"Erm... P-P-Punish me...?" Cherry asked, sounding a bit scared, especially from his crafty smirk.

"Yes, dearie, but we might both enjoy it~" he smirked.

"Oh... Oh, my..." Cherry chuckled sheepishly as she flooded under the covers suddenly, though she couldn't deny that she felt deeply aroused by his dominance over her. Though most viewed it as scary and intimidating, she always found it rather sexy and entrancing. "I don't suppose I get a preview of this punishment just to know what I'm getting myself into?"

"No, but carry on your sass and you'll find out~" Gold almost purred into her ear as he pulled her closer.

Cherry shivered and shuddered from the purring, jittering along before yelping from the pulling as it surprised her. "I-I don't sass people..." she said with a nervous grin. "That's against my nature... But for you... I can be like a muffin... Because I'm very sweet, but I also have a little spice in me."

"So you plan on continuing giving me sass~?" Gold smirked.

"Maybe..." Cherry paused before she playfully gave him a sloppy kiss right on the lips. "MWAH!~"

Gold chuckled as he pulled her into a proper kiss instead and even gave her a single sharp, but not too painful spank on the butt.

"Wah!" Cherry yelped out as that startled her, but she was all blushy in the face as she looked down at him for that. "D-D-Duuuude..." she then uttered out, breathing a bit shakily.

Gold smirked a little.

"Well... I did ask for that..." Cherry replied bashfully before she stared down from his gaze, slowly getting over what happened last night. "...I guess this is punishment?"

"Mm-hmm~" Gold hummed.

"Mm..." Cherry hummed as she just wrapped her arms around him, cuddling into him a bit. "Ooh... Your magic stick tickles..." she then chuckled a bit.

"I can use it on you if you'd like, dearie~" Gold smirked as he ran a hand through her hair.

Cherry giggled from that before she smirked slightly devilishly. "Ooh... Killian~" she then squeaked out.

Gold narrowed his eyes to that. "What did you just say?" he asked.

"Olive juice?" Cherry lied bashfully, unable to look him in the eyes since she was being dishonest, though her voice didn't sound shallow that time.

Gold smirked and soon had them with him sitting with her across his lap. "Try that again, dearie~" he smirked.

"Whoopsies..." Cherry giggled bashfully as she looked up at him. "I'm in trouble now... I must've been thinking of better and more desirable opportunities?~"

"You brought this upon yourself, dearie~" Gold smirked, then brought his hand down swift and sharp.

"Oof!" Cherry grunted and yelped as that shook her, though she didn't seem to mind before smirking. "Oh, my... I-I-I better keep a good eye on myself and stay out of trouble... We don't wanna find my hand too far into the cookie jar..."

"Yes, we wouldn't want that~" Gold smirked, as he rubbed the spot he had hit before doing it again.

Cherry nearly melted from the rubbing, letting her arms and legs drop before shrieking from the sudden striking once it came back. "EEP!"

Gold looked down to make sure that hadn't hurt her.

"I-I'm fine... Just... Surprised..." Cherry chuckled bashfully and weakly. "Oof... Ow... I think I need to go to the bathroom..." she then winced as that did hurt pretty bad before she got off of him briefly and tried to stand up and walk away, though she limped when she walked, muttering "Ow, ow, ow" on the way away from him.

Gold sighed, not having intended to hurt her.

Cherry did what she had to do in the bathroom and soon came back out of the bathroom, coming to see him again as she winced a bit in her stepping. "Maybe I was just dreaming last night," she then said to herself. "I did eat quite a lot... I probably just went to bed and it felt so real... That's it... He couldn't be changing back... No, no... Never..." she mumbled to herself, arguing with her brain's thoughts and her verbal words spoken out loud.

Gold waited for her, he would ease the pain so it was more of a pleasant ache.

"Sorry... I guess you really got me that time... You must be well-experienced or something," Cherry said softly and bashfully once she came to stand in front of him. "D-Did you do this with Belle often before your son was born?" she then said with a weak smile and chuckle.

"Come here, dearie, I'll make it all better~" Gold patted his lap a moment.

Cherry swallowed thickly before she chuckled bashfully before she stumbled over to him. "M-Maybe I'm still dreaming... Maybe it's all in my head... Maybe... I should just... Accept this..." she then said before she came closer. "...Mother Goose and Brothers Grimm above, please don't make it be an illusion..." she then mumbled out before she came out right in front of him.

Gold pulled her across his lap a moment before sending just a little healing magic into where he had spanked her. "Now lie down, dearie~" he told her.

Cherry glanced over before she went to lie down, trembling slightly, but not overly so. "Like this?" she then asked as she tried to calm down a little.

Gold nodded before he leaned over her top half with his and pressed a kiss to her cheek first. Cherry let out a small moan, turning bright pink in her face from the cheek kiss at first.

"Do you give me permission to make it all better, dearie~?" Gold asked her, before he would continue.

"I do..." Cherry replied softly as she poked her head out as her whole face was as reddish-pink as rose petals.

Gold nodded and gently cupped her face with his hands to press their lips together softly. Cherry's eyes fluttered as she lightly hummed and moaned in the hug, wrapping her arms around his back as her tongue danced in her mouth, trying to get into his to give him an old-fashioned French kiss, just hoping she would get it right, though she had a bit of practice with Belle during one of their solo nights together. Gold's own tongue battled hers for dominance.

Cherry squealed and grunted, quickly turning weaker from his kisses than from Belle as she nearly fell limp and tried to get strong again. "Cruel bastard..." she then breathed out once she drew her mouth away briefly, though not in a malicious way as she looked like she could pass out.

"Aye, that's me, dearie~" Gold teased before he started to pepper kisses along her cheek and neck as he let his hands trail down a little until he could move them under her top to gently, but firmly cup her breasts.

"Ah! Ooh! Eek!" Cherry whimpered out a bit, giggling and grunting as she moved her arms around him again. "Mmf... I don't want this to ever end..." she whispered out. "...Milk me... I'ma cow... Moo says the cow~..." she then giggled once he saw where his hands were.

"Dearie, as cute as your rambles are, just shh and enjoy it~" Gold smirked against her neck as he nipped the skin before soothing it with his tongue as he gently massaged her chest.

"Don't shush me~..." Cherry mumbled before yelping and gushing before she moaned deeply, feeling limp again as she was just powerless against him.

Gold chuckled and then undressed her, before stopping a moment. "Undress me, dearie~" he told her.

Cherry gulped. "...I try shall... Trust you can me..." she whispered, a bit sloppily as she began to grasp his shirt and went to unbutton his shirt to start out with, lightly hyperventilating as sweat rolled down her face, neck, and back.

Gold gently stroked her cheek to soothe her. Cherry soon took his shirt and tossed it away and soon bit her lip nervously as she began to work her way down to his pants next as her heartbeat got faster and faster and louder as the stroking just made her hormones feel more alight with the flaming passion deep down inside of herself.

"Easy, dearie, it's just me~" Gold said softly and soothingly. Once they were off, he moved his hand down her chest and stomach before slipping a finger into her so he could prepare her for him.

Cherry let out a squeaking hiccup noise once she felt his finger, turning even more dark pink in the face as she began to help him out of his pants as she nearly grew breathless and a bit slippery with more than just her palms sweating. Gold prepared her then gently and passionately made love to her, to make it all better.

Katie soon came out of the bathroom, blushing softly, but currently redressed and a bit more relaxed again.

"Leaving so soon, Katie?" Edward asked her once she left the bathroom.

"Y-Yes, I don't want to tempt anything else today." Katie said softly, very obviously not scared just not wanting to make it harder for him.

"It must be so nice for Killian... To have someone who loves, supports, and would do anything for you just to make you both happy," Edward said to Katie then. "It must be so nice to have someone like that around... And I thought I had fallen in love once, but I just ended up getting hurt..."

Katie looked surprised to that but her face softened and she already seemed torn between leaving and comforting him. "H-How?" she had to ask softly.

"No, no, I've said too much already... I shouldn't tell you if you don't want to hear." Edward said, turning away from her dramatically.

Katie flinched at the turning away but approached. "O-Oh, Edward, you can tell me, I'm your friend and I do care~" she said softly as she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Mary..." Edward began to simply say, waiting to see if she would bother to stick around and listen more.

Katie bit her lip, but used her hand on his shoulder to climb on behind him as there was currently no space next to him. She then wrapped her arms loosely but comfortingly around his shoulders in a hug. "How did she hurt you?" she whispered softly.

Edward glanced over softly. "I thought that Mary Lydgate was the one and that she was truly in love with me... The person inside of me... The man behind the mask... But I guess I was wrong..." he then said to her, sounding deep in sorrow while explaining to her. "She couldn't accept me... No one could ever accept me... No one could ever love me."

"Oh, Edward, that's not true," Katie told him softly as she shifted so she could soothe him a little better. "She doesn't deserve your love, you're a wonderful person." she said softly, as she held the side of his head to her chest in a way to hear a heartbeat as she knew that comforted many.

"You really think I'm wonderful?" Edward asked. "And not a monster like most other people?"

"Of course, and as I have said before, you are not a monster Edward I've never thought that." Katie assured him and promised.

"...You're very sweet," Edward said as he looked down before looking her right in the eyes then. "It'd be nice to find someone like you to keep as my own."

Katie gave a tiny smile, though slightly pinned by his gaze. "I-I'm sure you will." she said softly.

"She might be closer than I believe..." Edward smirked then.

"Hmm?" Katie wondered, slightly more a squeak than hum at the sudden smirk.

"And I won't want to ever let her go," Edward smirked. "You saw a man behind the monster of Killian... You can do the same to me and you have proved to me that you have~"

Katie blinked in wordless surprise to that. She started to let him go, slowly as she didn't want him to think she was scared as she wasn't.

"Who's to say you can't share with the pirate?" Edward smirked. "I should have my own happy ending too, shouldn't I?"

"Y-You do deserve a happy ending..." Katie started to say.

"Yes, I do," Edward said. "And I'm just saying... Let me share some happy endings with you... You understand me... Not everyone else does, especially at first glance."

Katie bit her lower lip softly, her blue eyes flickering, she gently gave him one more squeeze before stroking his cheek softly.

Edward soon snatched her hand right then with a small smirk. "So, what do you say?" he then asked. "Will you give me a chance? Otherwise... I might share this secret to certain otehrs~"

Katie's eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Secret?" she wondered what he meant to that, wincing in surprise at how fast he grabbed her hand.

"About our little... Misadventure..." Edward replied with a wink. "Unless you'd like to approve of it so no one worries about you cheating. Wouldn't that be a shame if Killian thought you were bored of him?"

"But he knows I'm not bored of him, I love him..." Katie said softly. "A-And I wasn't going to keep it a secret from him..." she whispered.

"Oh?" Edward replied as he let go, but wanted to make sure that she wouldn't run away. "Well, there's that at least. I feel I may never meet another woman like you in another thousand years, Miss Nolan."

Katie licked her suddenly dry lips nervously. "I-I'm sure you will..." she said softly, but did start to move to get off the bed.

"Stay just a bit longer..." Edward whispered as he began to pet her hair, knowing some women liked that. "Only if I can trust you and that you won't hurt me like Mary did."

Katie whimpered just a little, offended she might be compared to that woman, but leaned her head into his hand.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I've been hurt worse than you can imagine." Edward said softly then, though not blaming her for the hurt feelings he was forced to endure.

"Oh, Edward..." Katie sighed in empathy and shifted to where she could hug him properly.

Edward soon welcomed the hug before smirking so that she didn't see as he was beginning to get what he wanted and felt ever-so-grateful for it. Katie gently carded her fongers through his hair soothingly.

"I will let you return to your parents though so they don't worry." Edward said softly then, trying not to be TOO intimidating.

Katie pulled back, looking confused, he hadn't said anything about keeping her there or not.

"Surely they must be expecting a call from you by now?" Edward suggested. "Unless you forgot~"

"O-Oh, yes, I-I'll call them now." Katie said softly. She took her phone from the side table and stood up to go and make the call.

Edward nodded before smirking a bit as a fiendish idea hatched in his brain, though he pondered whether or not to act on it during the phone call.

"Yes...?" David's voice answered, sounding a little tired, but not exhausted.

"Hi, Dad... Are you okay?" Katie greeted, then asked softly.

"Oh, Katie, hello!" David replied, a bit happier then, though still sleepy. "You're calling pretty early... Do you need a ride back home or something?" he then asked.

"No, I'm fine, Dad, I just wanted to check in and let you know I'm okay." Katie told him.

Edward soon suddenly grabbed her right thigh with a smirk.

"Oh, that's good," David said softly. "We weren't too worried, but we're glad you got somewhere safe and sound without any trouble."

Katie jolted from that almost falling back, but tried brushing the hand away with her free one. "I, uh, just didn't want to walk home and risk falling in the dark." she told him.

Edward chuckled as he began to do it again anyway.

"I understand," David nodded. "Did you go to Granny's?" he then guessed.

"Ah, yes." Katie agreed and tried to step a bit further away then.

Edward chuckled a bit in the background.

"So you'll be back home eventually?" David asked. "...I'm sorry if I sound like an overprotective dad, but... You're my princess."

"Yes, I should be home soon," Katie agreed softly. ' Hopefully.' she added in her mind. She shifted her weight to her other leg absently.

Edward came closer towards her and soon began to approach her.

"Good," David nodded. "Are you going to have breakfast at the diner or would you like some here?"

"I might have the diner once more so I can rest my stomach before bodybuilder breakfast~" Katie giggled.

Edward soon grabbed her from behind suddenly.

"All right," David chuckled warmly from that. "You gotta be big and strong like your old man."

"Ye-ES." Katie started to say only to yelp in surprise.

"Katie...?" David asked in concern from her tone. "Are you all right?"

"Stubbed my toe..." Katie replied, shooting a warning look to Edward from that.

Edward grinned with a chuckle.

"Okay then," David replied. "So, when can we expect you?"

"In an hour or two?" Katie replied.

"All right, we'll save you a place at the table then," David smiled. "You take care of yourself... Don't forget about your favorite parents."

"Of course I won't~" Katie giggled. "See you later, I love you, Dad~" she told him, before letting him hang up.

"Love you too," David nodded. "Goodbye for now, Katie." he then added before he hung up then.

Edward chuckled as he snaked his arm around the girl's waist as he lay down right behind her as she sat on the end of the bed. Katie hung up then too to end the call on her side, she squeaked as she was pulled down, droping her phone but thanks to the floor being carpet it didn't crack.

"Hello." Edward smirked then.

"W-What was that?" Katie squeaked, before clearing her throat. "I was on the phone to my father." she blushed, squirming a little, wary of the smirk.

"I know..." Edward replied. "I missed your attention."

Katie let out a frustrated breath. "How are you going to cope while I work or go home?" she asked, as she tried to see if she could pry his arm away.

"I don't know..." Edward replied. "You could always just let me stay with you."

"I live with my parents, that would be a little awkward," Katie blushed. "Fuck me, you're strong...~" she muttered as she couldn't budge his arm even a little.

"Aww... I'm sorry if things have to be awkward... But let me give you a goodbye kiss at least?" Edward smirked.

Katie looked to him and went to kiss his cheek, or chin, depending on which she could reach held to him from behind.

Edward chuckled, accepting the kiss and soon let go of her. "All right, I guess I've kept you long enough," he then said. "This was a lot of fun, Katie~"

Katie blushed and straightened up.

"Come back again soon~" Edward replied as he decided to let her go that time.

Katie blushed, but left for now. She decided she would go to speak to Killian, as she had two hours until she needed to meet her parents.
