Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and messages, I really appreciate it! I'm glad so many of you are in love with this story as much as I love writing it!

Regina led into the woods to make sure they had lost the Kings guards. She stopped her horse in a clearing that overlooked the kingdom and all it's glory. Firefly's danced around her as she peered up at the bright night sky.

"Where did you learn to ride like that?" Robin asked jumping off his horse to tie it to a tree branch next to Regina's.

"Why were the kings guards coming after you?" She asked looking him over. He looked much different in the moon light rather than the tavern dim lighting. She could see the creases on his forehead, the laugh lines and his bright blue eyes that seemed to almost glow like the stars above.

"I asked first." He smirked moving over to where Regina was standing looking out over the kingdom.

"My parents had me in lessons ever since I was young." She smiled as her mind traveled back to when she met Daniel the first time while she was riding. She felt a sense of guilt wash over her as she stood close to this stranger she knew little about. What would Daniel think if he saw me now? She thought to herself has Robin's words broke through her thoughts.

"You do seem like you come from money." He said trying to hold his head higher to imitate her perfect posture.

"Well at least I don't smell like forest." She shot him a daring look, which quickly turned to a smile. She couldn't help but smile when she was with him.

"No you smell lovely." He smiled back causing butterflies to turn in both of their stomachs as they starred at each other. "A tiara."

"What?" Regina asked confused trying to shake herself from the trance she was in.

"The reason the King's men were looking for me. My men and I intercepted a caravan into the kingdom. There was a tiara among gold and other things that we took. Apparently it was meant for the new Queen." His words took the wind out of Regina's lungs. He had stolen something that was meant for her, she couldn't help but feel a little hurt through she didn't expect such a gift to be coming anyways.

"So you're a thief?" She asked regaining her composer looking back out over the Kingdom.

"No. Quiet the opposite in fact. What ever I take I give to the poor. The rich have more than they need while the poor are starving, and dying."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Regina winked. She could see that he had a good heart, even if he was a thief. He had something to live for, something that drove him to get up each morning, it made her a little jealous.

"Ok Miss fancy pants riding lessons." Robin laughed bumping his shoulder into hers.

"Hey!" She laughed pushing him back. She didn't realize how hard she had pushed until his foot moved, getting caught on the rock next to him sending him flying to the ground. "Robin are you ok?" She began to worry. He wasn't moving.

Regina knelt down next to him. His eyes closed and his breathing was barely noticeable through his shirt. Her hand reached up to touch his face when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down next to him.

"Geeze you're gullible." He laughed in her face has she laid shocked next to him. He laid onto his back to stare up at the night sky. "Have you ever seen anything more memorizing?"

"No." Regina said still looking at his face before realizing he was looking up at the sky. She laid back to look up at the stars with him.

There was no sense of time that had passed. Neither one spoke as the starred at the sky that danced with the fireflies above their heads.

"I should go." Regina quickly jumped to her feet. She could feel herself never wanting to leave his side; she didn't want to go. Though she knew if she stayed they both would be found. She couldn't put his life at risk for her own childish feelings.

Robin was quicker than she had expected. He rushed up to her just as she reached the horses. "Regina…" he said before she turned quickly in his grasp. They stood just inched from each other's faces feeling the heat from each others breaths tickled their cheeks.

"Robin, I…" Was all she managed to say before his lips met her's. Their bodies seemed to melt together as they pressed against the tree next to their horses. Robin broke the kiss first while still enveloping her in his arms.

"I'm sorry." He said smiling at her.

"For what?" She laughed looking deep into his eyes.

"I'm trying to be a gentleman, but you're making it so hard." He laughed as he stepped back letting her go.

"Well then I apologize too."

"For what?" Robin asked unwrapping the horses from the tree branch.

"For not trying to stop you." Regina smiled jumping onto her horse.

"You're full of surprises aren't you?" Robin laughed getting up onto his own horse. "When can I see you again?"

"Two nights from now. I have to have a sleep over with my… niece tomorrow." Really Regina your niece? She practically kicked herself.

"Two night…. I don't know if I can wait that long."

"Well you'll just have to." Regina winked

"Fine, meet me here then. And you may want to wear something more comfortable."

"Excuse me?"

"Well I assume that's not the most comfortable thing you own. You'll want to be comfortable."

"For what exactly?" Regina asked giving him a little glare.

"Well my dear that's for me to know, and you to find out."

"Ugh fine." Regina laughed. "Don't follow me." She said as they both began to lead their horses back through the woods.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Robin said bowing his head slightly. Regina took off with her horse, winding through the trees before she realized she had lost him indefinitely. She poofed herself back into her bedchambers trying not to laugh.

"A sleep over with your niece? Good Regina, you're an only child how are you going to explain this one." She kicked herself as she shuffled over to her bed. Her head bounced back onto her pillows has her hand met her lips. Regina's eyes began to close as a smile moved across her lips. Her thoughts of Robin faded into dreams, good dreams that she wished would never end.
