The past.
Regina was the first to wake up, her head hurt, her throat hurt and the bright light that was slipping through the curtains wasn't helping. Before she remembered last night she felt Robin's arm laying loosely around her waist and that's when the memories came back, their kiss at the ball, the fun they had back in the hotel, the tension between them and then, the move she made, she tried to remember how it had finished but she just couldn't get the facts together, must have been the amount of alchohol.
Before she gave Robin the chance to wake up she got out of bed, avoiding any possible awkward confrontation. She quickly got in the shower, still trying to find the missing parts of last night activities, since she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday she was pretty sure there had been no sex. But she remembered how she had let her hand slide into his shorts, how he had tried to convince her not to do it and how she had ignored him. But why couldn't she remember how it had ended.
She felt herself relax while the hot water ran down her body. Last night had gone way to far, she is a professional and she needs to behave like one. She washed her hair, her body and while her hands slid over her skin she thought of Robin. Before she knew it her hand slid further down, she leaned her back against the cold shower wall, shivering at the first contact. She closed her eyes, giving herself over to her imaginations. Her hand reached between her legs, two of her fingers finding her clit as she circled around the spot. She gasped as she gently threw back her head. She felt her nipples turning hard, bringing her other hand up to pay attention to her left breast.
Just the thought of Robin was enough to make her wet and so she lowered her hand and entered herself with two fingers. She let out a soft moan hoping the running water would keep it far away from Robin's hearing. Her breathing became faster as she pumped her fingers inside her, quick to find her special spot. She sped up her pace, more sounds leaving her mouth. Imagining his mouth, his fingers, his length. Something she haven't stopped thinking about since she had felt his length yesterday. She left her breast and used her now free hand to rub her clit, bringing herself closer to her high. Her hands moved in the same rhythm and before she knew it her legs started to shake a bit, she hold her breath, stopped the movements of her hands. And gave herself some time to ride out her orgasm.

Robin woke up to an empty bed. He heard the shower knowing where Regina was. He rolled on his back, staring at the ceiling, thinking about last night. The kiss they shared, Regina's hand.. and the best part, holding her as she slept on his chest. He knew it was wrong, he should have never let it come that far. But he just couldn't deny her.
Just the thought of her standing under the shower made him hard, especially since she told him she had touched herself under it, while thinking of him. Maybe she was touching herself now. Maybe he should walk in to find out, maybe he could take it over from her, take her against the wall while the water fell down on their bodies.
Enough.
He just couldn't risk it. He was not going to risk losing her. He wanted her, all of her, not just one time, but everyday the rest of his life. He wants her next to him every morning, he wants her hand in his every time he walks over the red carpet, he wants to come home after a busy day finding her in his home, he wants to make love to her all night, to kiss every part of her beautiful body, he wants her to realize how amazing she is. He wants her.
And if he wants her he needs to take his time, he needs to do this right. And doing this right starts with waiting until their contract ends. After that he can asks her out on a real date, he can bring her home, maybe even kiss her before he wishes her good night.
He is going to fight for this woman.

They had ignored their activities from the night before. Regina because she had no idea what happened. Robin because he didn't want to make her feel bad. They walked through Paris, mostly looking around, Robin showing Regina everything he had already seen before.
Robin had trouble keeping his eyes of her, she wore a beautiful light blue loose dress, high white heels which made her legs even more sexy. It made him feel like the most lucky man in the world, just walking next to her.
The feeling was mutual. Regina keep staring at him, every chance she got. The white blouse he wore fits him perfectly, the first buttons open made him look even more handsome than he already was. And she just hoped there would be paparazzi so that she could hold his hand, showing every girl in Paris he is hers.
There perfect moment was ruined by Regina's phone. "Sorry, I have to take this." She said before answering. "Hey Mal, what's up?" Mal never called without a reason and so she already had Regina's attention. "Have you read the news?" Regina send Robin an alarmed look. "No what's with it?" Robin walked them to a quieter place and Regina quick gave him a thankful smile.
"Apparently someone did some digging in your past and found out about you're shoplifting fase.." Again she looked at Robin, feeling quilt wash over her as she let Mal's words sink. "The reactions are mixed, some people love you more, some people don't think you are a good match for Robin and his company.." Robin send her a questionable look, knowing something was wrong. "What do I do?" She asked. "Just tell Robin, I had a call with his assistent she is taking care of it. And no interviews or anything of that sort, orders from Mary-Margaret." Regina nodded trying to calm herself down.
"What's wrong?" Regina sighed and put her phone away. "Someone leaked information about my past to the press.." Robin raised an eyebrow. "What kind of information?" Regina looked away, trying to tell him this as subtle possible. "I did some illegal stuff when I was younger.." She tried to smile it away but obviously Robin wanted to know everything and he told her that by just staring at her.
"I did some shoplifting, clothes, jewelry, sunglasses.." She suddenly felt ashamed, like she should have told him before, like she is ruining the whole point of her being here. "Hmm allright, but didn't we all do that once?" Robin tried to lighten the mood, hoping he could see her smile again. "I stole for more than ten thousand dollars." She saw the shock on his face. "I was in a bad place." She muttered, hoping it would be enough, knowing she would have to explain herself.
"Can we go sit over there?" She pointed to a spot near a small lake. Robin just nodded and followed her. The both said down in on the grass while Regina tried to find the courage to open up for the first time in her life.
"You don't have to tell me.." She interrupted him. "I trust you." She whispered. He smiled, feeling like this could be the start of something. "When I was eighteen my boyfriend was killed." She whispered. Robin covered her hand with his own and squeezed lightly. "We'd been together for a year but I knew he was the one for me, Daniel.." She smiled a little at the mention of his name. "We had planned our entire future together. He would take over the stable his father owned and I would go to college." She smiled again as memories popped up in her head.
"The last week of school a bullied junior came to school with multiple weapons and started to shoot in random classrooms." Again he squeezed her hand, letting her know he heard her. "After the shooting the boy killed himself." She wiped away a tear before it got a chance to fall. "Daniel had never hurt anyone, he could not even hurt someone if he wanted to.." She chuckled slightly. "It was not fair Robin." For the first time she looked at him, showing him the pain that was hiding deep inside her. "We didn't even know that boy, we'd never even spoken to him." She wiped away a second tear.
"After that nothing really happened, since the boy killed himself." She took a deep breath. "I wanted justice, for Daniel, for myself and there was no way I was going to get it." She felt the same anger as she felt all those years ago. "So I decided to violate the law myself." Robin still just listened to her. "I know it was stupid, but I just wanted to feel better and I thought that I would feel better by stealing things." She stroked a strand of hair behind her ear. "It started quite innocent, just cheap shirts, scarfs. I noticed how easily it went, how good I became at lying and sneaking. So instead of shirts I begun to steal jeans, dresses. Still no one had ever caught me so one day I stole earrings from over two hundred dollar, I didn't even had my ears pierced, it was just the sensation of getting away with it." She laughed at her younger self realizing how stupid it was.
"I always got away with it, until one day another customer had seen me sneak a shirt in my bag, from all the things I had stolen someone caught me with a twenty dollar shirt, kind of ironic." She smiled again. "My parents searched my room and found some of the jewelry I stole, so I got like seventy hours community serve and a lot of house arrest."
Robin stayed quiet, just looking at her, taking in everything she had just said. "Nothing you just said changed the way I look at you." Regina hold her breath, smiling at him, her eyes still full of tears from all the emotions she felt. "I've never told anyone that." She admitted. "I'm glad you told me." Regina got up from her sitting position, leaned over and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him tight. Robin reacted by wrapping his arms around her back, pulling her even closer into the embrace. "Thank you." She whispered.
They let go of each other and found their way back into their sitting positions. "And about what the press says, I don't care." Regina raised an eyebrow. "Robin.." She tried to reason with him but he didn't let her. "No I'm serious, if they can't see the woman that's sitting right in front of me without judging you, then they're not worth it."
They stared into each others eyes for a moment, letting the words he just set sink. And then Regina quickly leaned forward and kissed him, it was quick, and before they knew it she leaned back, smiled a little and sat back blushing. "Sorry.." She almost whispered. "I don't know why I did that." She looked away, not noticing he came closer. "I hope it's because you wanted too…" She looked back at him, finding him close to her. Again she stared into his blue eyes. "Because.. I wanted too." He leaned forward and brought his lips to hers, Regina closed her eyes, feeling his lips brush against hers. She opened up her mouth a little, giving him permission to deepened the kiss, and he did.
They don't know how long they sat there, but when a moan escaped Regina's mouth Robin took his distance, earning him another moan, this time a frustrated one. "Sorry, it's just.." Before he could finish Regina ended his sentence. "I know, it's just the contract and we're just attracted to each other, it's stupid.." She said, taking her distance again by sitting back. "That was not what I was going to say.." A simple oh came out of Regina's mouth as she let Robin continue. "It's just that I want to do this right, I don't want you to feel like I'm using you, since I'm paying you."
"I don't feel like you're using me." She said, giving him a smile. "But still, I want to do this right." Regina just nodded, knowing he was right, knowing that whatever this thing between them was, they needed to do this right. "So what does that mean?" She asked, staring at the lake, avoiding his eyes on her. "It means that we are going to enjoy our last two days her, when we get back home we are going to get to know each other more and over.." He watched his watch to see the date. "Over three months and about twenty days, I'm going to ask you on a proper date.. and then you are going to say yes." Regina laughed, looking back into his eyes, finding him smirking at her. "Don't get your hopes up to high Locksley." She bit back. "I wouldn't dream of it."
