Chapter 5

"Actually I'm not interested in a deal. I have a proposal to make," whispered Rumpelstiltskin. Belle still sat in front of him, to her his meaning was unclear, but then she looked down at his hands. When she saw that he held a ring in-between his fingers her heart skipped a beat, was he really doing what she thought he was doing; was Rumpelstiltskin her dark one proposing to her? And looking at him again she waited for him to continue.

"Belle…I," began Rumpelstiltskin stopping to catch his breath, he was so nervous in that moment. He could hear his heart pounding like a war drum in his ears and breathing still he looked into her eyes finding the courage in their blue depths to continue.

"Rumple?" breathed Belle looking up into his eyes now seeing they were filled with not only his love, but his nerves. He stood there then ring in hand unable to look away from her as he gripped her hand in his letting his thumb gently stroke her wrist.

Bringing that same hand to his lips, he kissed it reverently his nerves leaving him then, but not completely as he let his lips find the R embroidered into her skin. He kissed it too before looking at her, she was his now, she would always be his, and this, what he was doing now would only prove that. If she said yes and he was confident she would; he hoped she would. And pulling her closer to him he looked into the deep pools of her eyes as he prepared to ask her, his true love to marry him, and be his forever.

"Belle…I love you…so much. I love you…I'll always love you, until the end of my life, until the end of time I will love you. Now, right now, you are my true love, my lover, but I want you to be mine. I want the whole world to know you're mine; I want you to be my wife. I want to wake up and find you next to me for the rest of my life, I wish never to be parted from you, and that is why dearest I am here now before you asking you to share your life with me. Belle…will you marry me…please," whispered Rumpelstiltskin looking into her eyes with hope in his own. She didn't say a word then she only stared at him a few tears leaving her eyes. She just couldn't believe this was happening, when she woke up that morning she never thought this would happen, and she had known she would be with him forever, but she had never thought he would further seal that by asking her to be his wife. And part of her couldn't help, but feel shocked as she sat atop the table. The dream she had never dared to hope for was coming true, he didn't want another deal; he wanted to marry her. And oh how she wanted to marry him, but first she had to get ahold of herself so she could tell him. She looked from him to the ring he held and back again before finally focusing completely on him as he stood there waiting for her answer the look on his face one of doubt and hope as if he expected her to say no, but hoped she loved him enough to say yes.

"Yes," smiled Belle watching as his eyes widened.

He stood there at first without saying a word, but then he took both her hands in his gripping them with an iron like grip.

" Could you say that again," whispered Rumpelstiltskin looking at her as if he had heard her wrong never looking away from her then this time he wanted to be sure she said what he thought she said.

"Yes Rumple, I said yes I will marry you," smiled Belle laughing as a smile slowly found its way onto his face. He stood there still, suddenly he was so happy he couldn't believe it; he had asked her and she had said yes. He had the overwhelming feeling then to kiss her. She had said yes; she had really truly said yes. Rumpelstiltskin kissed her then his arms tight around her waist as he did so. And she kissed him back her arms moving to surround him curling into the curls of his hair as he held her in his arms. They were so much in love at that very moment. Keeping her arms wrapped around his neck, Belle clung to him in desperation letting him deepen the kiss, and as she moaned in her passion for him he couldn't help, but think that he would be making her make that sound for the rest of their lives.

"Say it again," whispered Rumpelstiltskin laughing as the reality of her answer reached him filling him with such joy. This woman right here in front of him was willingly going to marry him. She wanted to be his wife; it wasn't like with Milah who had never wanted such a thing. With Belle, it was true, true love; she really honestly sincerely wanted to marry him. She loved him as he loved her.

"Rumple, I've already said it twice; yes I will marry you. I love you and I am so excited I can't wait to be your wife," whispered Belle tears moving down her cheeks once more as she began to cover his face in kisses before holding his face in her hands claiming his lips with her own. When they broke apart, they merely stared at each other their hearts pounding as they peered into each other's eyes.

"Are you going to put that ring on my finger, or do I have to do it myself," whispered Belle a hint of a smile curving her lips as she broke their silence.

" Yes I almost forgot," purred Rumpelstiltskin his smile wide as he took her hand kissing it all over; he couldn't help, but think that today this day was the happiest day of his life.

"I love you," whispered Rumpelstiltskin kissing her lips for the thousandth time before looking down at her hand once more the smile never leaving his face as he slipped his gem of love onto her left ring finger watching as she gazed down at it after as if afraid it would disappear and she would wake up to find it all a dream. When she looked at him again there were tears of joy covering her face and pulling her into another kiss he heard her whisper her love for him in return, and as he continued to kiss her he had the sudden overwhelming urge to make love to her.

"I love you Rumpelstiltskin so much," exclaimed Belle breaking their kiss for a second then to tell him this before attacking his lips once more wanting nothing more than for him to make love to her. And looking into her eyes, he could see the heat in them; he knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her, the dark blue of her eyes made it all quite clear.

"Belle…do you…should we," breathed Rumpelstiltskin in question to the plea her eyes were sending him. He pulled her legs around his waist as he spoke gripping her waist as he stared down into her eyes; he needed to hear her say that she wanted him, that she needed him to make love to her as much as he did.

"Yes, Rumple, I do want you…please take me now…to our bed. Make love to me now…please. I want to celebrate our engagement," smiled Belle her voice almost a seductive purr as she nipped playfully at his lips. She kissed him then with no small amount of passion hearing as he growled in response to not just the kiss, but to what she had said. Not leaving her lips, Rumpelstiltskin swept her up into the comfort of his arms his feet moving double time as he nearly ran out of the hall with her. He realized he could have used magic, but he didn't want to he wanted to carry her to their bed in that moment so once there he could make love to her. They ended and began their kisses as he moved through the castle, his grip on her tight as he held her to his chest, and as they entered the hallway that led to their bedroom he loved her so much in that moment. She was his and she would remain his for as long as they both shall live; she would remain his forever.

Entering their bedroom, Rumpelstiltskin wasted no time laying her across the bed letting his body cover hers, and seeking out her lips once more they began their celebration. Letting his lips find her neck, he caressed it with them feeling as she gripped his forearms arching her neck to give him further access to it, and then he smiled biting into the skin of her neck ever so slightly with his teeth.

"Rumpelstiltskin!" exclaimed Belle her voice nearly a scream as hot fire seemed to race through her veins straight to her core when he did that. He pulled back to look at her then a teasing smile curving his lips as their eyes met.

"Does my soon to be bride like that," purred Rumpelstiltskin his voice like molten silk as it ran over her as if caressing her body. As he spoke one of his hands came to grip her hip while the other moved over the long expanse of her neck making her gasp his name in the sexiest wanton manner. He just loved the effect he had on her when they were like this; he just loved her.

"Yes, Rumple I very much do. I love you, I love the way you make me feel; no one has ever made me feel the things you do," whispered Belle her longing for him quite evident as she drew her bottom lip into her mouth. And as he watched her do so he couldn't hold back a groan, she was the sexiest most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on; she would be his and only his for eternity. He moved his lips so they were barely touching hers then peering down into her eyes.

"And no one ever will for you are mine. Now say my name like that again, I quite enjoyed it," purred Rumpelstiltskin plundering the recesses of her mouth before returning to her neck again making her say his name again and again exactly the way he had requested. Belle closed her eyes for a second then reveling in the feel of having him on top of her like this, but then she opened them once more focusing on a new task. Bringing her hands to his chest, she wasted no time in hurriedly opening the buttons of his vest quickly removing it then beginning to do the same to his shirt she wanted him bare on top of her so badly. When his shirt hit the floor, she moved her hands over the taut yet rough expanse of his chest hearing as he groaned into the skin of her throat in response. Smiling she liked she could make him make such sounds as she drew his lips back to hers kissing him until she had no more breath. She loved him, she loved this sorcerer, this man more than the breathe in her body, and she would love him until the day she died that was her solemn vow. Taking a moment to breath, it wasn't long until their lips were locked in their passion once more her whole body shivering as he cupped her breasts in his hands for only a moment before moving to do the same with her face. Their kiss broke then as he stared down at her his hands slowly moving to the front of her simple dress. She knew he was asking for permission to rid her of it and peering up at him she nodded her head before kissing him soundly.

" Yes, Rumple…rip it off me…I need you," exclaimed Belle her voice filled with her desire as he claimed her lips once more doing as she demanded and ripping her dress down the middle breaking the kiss afterwards to return to her neck dipping his tongue into the sweet hollow of her throat. Removing her dress so that she lay naked underneath him, Rumple couldn't help, but smirk every time his name left her lips. He loved the way it sounded on her tongue in her passion. She brought him to kiss her once more intertwining their fingers feeling as he pressed their hands into the bed the burn of their marks when their wrists touched.

"Belle, I love you; you are mine, only mine, "purred Rumpelstiltskin his voice husky with his lust as he peered down at her. And in that moment she smiled because she could see not just his lust, his deep longing for her in his eyes, but also his deep unending love for her.

"I love you Rumple," exclaimed Belle smiling up at him for a moment still before dragging his lips back to hers before letting him continue to worship her body in their celebration.

Rumpelstiltskin cupped her breasts in his hands once more letting his thumbs brush her pink nipples making them pucker as he continued down her body until he was level with them. He could feel Belle watching him and looking up at her ever so briefly he sucked a nipple into his mouth hearing her moan loudly in response. As he switched to the other breast, Rumple could feel her fingers in his hair tugging on it in her passion and growling in response he continued moving down past her stomach. Stopping just before the apex of her thighs, Rumple looked up at her seeking her permission to continue, and at first she only looked at him before spreading her legs readily around him.

"Do as you please, my love. I am yours after all," whispered Belle her voice so seductively low then that it went straight to his groin making him groan before he looked down at the beauty of her sex gently stroking her thighs before moving to spread her open.

Looking still at the beauty between her legs, he glanced at her one final time before slowly moving his tongue over her; he couldn't help, but groan when he tasted her. She was so sweet inside and out.

"Mine," growled Rumpelstiltskin remembering her words from before as he sucked her little pearl of a clit into his mouth making her nearly scream his name in response. And he couldn't help, but think that hearing it on her lips like that would never get old. Going to town on her, he teased her clit, flicking at it with his tongue in a slow sweet torture that she found she loved, and with each whimper, or moan that she gave in response he could feel her coming closer to her end. She was already so wet for him, she wanted him as much as he wanted her that much was clear, and as she came closer to the end he loved her so much. He loved that he would be the only man to ever see her like this; he loved that he would be the only man to ever truly have her. She was his as he was hers and continuing to worship her body he smiled as his tongue moved lower his name still a constant on her lips. When he found the entrance to her sex, he slithered his tongue inside tasting her with a groan as he lapped at her sweet walls letting his thumb trace the outline of her clit as he did so. Holding her legs apart he continued this hearing her repeat his name like a mantra in-between screams of yes and pleas for him not to stop; she was lost to her pleasure and he felt so much pride deep inside that it was him, him who was giving it to her. This finally made her come undone as she screamed her pleasure for the world to hear her head falling back against the bed her eyes closing in that same moment as her pleasure overwhelmed her. And staring up at her he smiled, she thought he was done with her, but he had only just begun.

When Belle opened her eyes again, she expected him to be looming over her once more, but he wasn't. He was still between her legs and the second she looked at him his long spinner's fingers entered her making her gasp as his tongue ghosted over her clit before sucking it into his mouth. He most certainly had a lot in store for her tonight. And if she thought what happened before was wonderful, this was extraordinary because as he continued she could feel her end coming again except much faster this time and then suddenly it happened again. She fell apart, falling over the edge because of him again, and he couldn't have been prouder as he lapped up her sweetness his hands gripped her thighs still. And as he did so Belle couldn't help, but think that he was indeed a magic man, her magic man. Afterwards she felt as his arms curled around her and opening her eyes this time he was looming over her just like she expected. Her breathing was heavy as she looked into the red of his eyes nothing, but happiness in her gaze as she pulled him to kiss her. She kissed him with such heat her hands gripping his upper back her nails just barely cutting into his skin and breaking away from her he peered down at her as he moved a stray curl away from her beautiful face.

"Rumple, please…make love to me now. I love you; I need you. I need you so badly right now," whispered Belle the smile that found its way onto her face seductive yet sweet as she brought a hand to caress his cheek. He didn't say anything as he stared down at her then thinking again with a smile that she would be his wife very soon; he kissed her then removing his leathers with a single thought. Laying naked on top of her now, he peered down at her still his love for her shining in his eyes, and kissing her one final time he was determined to make love to her then so there would be no doubt in her mind of how much he loved her. He would never love another, she was his first true love, she would be his last love, and for the rest of their lives he would never let her forget that she was his everything. He would love her forever; he would love her for eternity. And thinking this, he held himself between her legs at her entrance, and kissing her once more he slipped inside her. He groaned as he entered the warmth of her body his breath hitching as she clutched him and looking down at her his heart melted when he saw the sexy little smile she wore. It was all for him; she was all for him. And kissing her once more he reveled in that.

"I'm all yours Rumple, forever," purred Belle as they kissed as if reading his thoughts.

Breaking the kiss, he looked down at her, she was beautiful, and she was his forever.

"Yes, mine. And I am all yours," purred Rumpelstiltskin attacking her lips once more as he pulled her legs tight around him going even deeper inside her. And then breaking their kiss he peered down at her slowly beginning to move inside her watching as her gaze became heavy in response her head falling back. It was like she was melting before his eyes becoming a puddle of goo in his arms and as she moaned his name in her pleasure he began to move faster even harder inside her feeling as she clutched him for dear life. And god if he didn't feel the same way as his own pleasure moved through him with each thrust he pulled her lips to his once more.

"Mine," growled Rumpelstiltskin his grip on her tight as he stared down at her the red of his eyes becoming nearly black.

" Yours, all yours…completely," moaned Belle in-between heated kisses her hands moving over his back and shoulders as he pounded away at her making them both moan their pleasure for the castle walls to hear. And pulling his lips back to hers, she kissed him then with all her love, all her passion, and it was in that moment they both knew they would be one. They smiled at each other than because they both knew that very soon they would be getting married, he would be her husband and she his wife. Everything was slowly falling into place.

"Belle," growled Rumpelstiltskin thrusting hard into her making sure her legs stayed tight around him as he suckled her neck leaving his mark there for all to see. And then it happened again, she fell over the edge again, and as he held her in his arms as she did so he couldn't help, but think that she was beautiful. So beautiful. He came apart seconds after she did an electric current of sparks flying through them as they reached their end and in that same moment they felt their wrists burn with their love as much as their bodies did.

"I love you," they breathed together as they fell into a heaping pile of heavily breathing body parts on the bed. When they looked at each other, they both had tiny satisfied smiles on their faces, and both of them found themselves covered in sweat their hearts still pounding. Rolling onto his back, Rumple cradled his beauty in his arms, she was his greatest treasure, and he would never let her forget it. He loved her so much.

"We're getting married," whispered Rumple finally looking down into her happy love filled gaze both their smiles getting bigger. Belle looked down at the ring on her finger then the smile never leaving her face, but then looking at him she snuggled further into his embrace lightly kissing the smooth column of his throat. This made him purr as she straddled him her beautiful form hovering over him as she held his face in her hands suddenly attacking his lips with a fever he hadn't known she possessed.

"I'm going to be your wife," whispered Belle smiling the biggest smile as their lips parted.

" And you're going to be my husband," continued Belle her head falling onto his chest then as she looked up at him her happiness seeming to radiate right off of her. He smiled then drawing her into yet another kiss and rolling her onto her back once more he stared down at her a happy glimmer in his amber eyes.

" Yes, you shall be my wife and I your husband; we shall be married as soon as possible unless the bride has any objections," whispered Rumpelstiltskin looking down at her questioningly before she pulled his lips to hers once more kissing him with a passionate urgency that fueled every cell in his body.

"Do you still think I want a long engagement? I want us to be married as soon as humanly possible. I don't want to have to wait a second longer than necessary to be your wife," smiled Belle pulling him down into her arms for another kiss as soon as she finished.
