Could it be love or simply desire?

While the two couples had been running in the forest, Rumple had made his way to his shop. It had taken him some time, but as determination drove him he would end up there, with only one thought in mind, Belle, his beauty.

He looked at the door sign, open, that at least meant she was most likely there. He opened the door, hearing the bell ring as he walked inside his own shop. A smile on his face as he looked around on his treasures. The deals he had made over the years had made sure his shop was full of various items. He could hear her footsteps even before she appeared, her nose in a book. Not many things had change that. Her accent as she slowly looked up, stopping mid sentence saying, "How may I help...oh my God, Rumple."

"Hello Belle," a tired smile on his lips as he nodded towards her.

"Wait this isn't some sort of trap, like you are getting something from me to her?" the librarian spoke. Skepticism in her eyes, she had by now learned not to trust people easily.

"No, she let me go to see you, but I don't know for how long," said Rumple honestly.

"But why, she hasn't done so earlier, why now?" Belle wondered as she walked over to embrace him, holding him tight.

"I don't know Belle, and right now I don't care when she calls me back as long as I can spend some time with you," He said, holding her close and kissing her lips. She returned the kiss at once, after all there wasn't a person in town that loved Rumpelstiltskin as much as Belle and there was no one that had missed him more.

"Awww will you look at that, she let Rumple go," Emma said, as they happened to walk pass the store just as the two kissed.

"That would be too easy," Regina said and opened the door, making him break free from his love and ask, "May we help you?"

"Zelena, when did she let you go?" Regina wondered, looking him up and down with great curiousity.

"This morning, why is that any concern of yours?" he answered, glaring at them.

"Does she still have the dagger?" said Regina, her dark eyes shining now.

"She does yes," he said with a heavy sigh.

"What are you thinking?" Emma wondered, she was seeming way too enthusiastic now.

"If she is truly in love, we could easily get her love interest to steal the dagger," said Regina.

"Yes that is a wonderful plan, someone finally likes her for who she is they go well together, and then you want her love to betray her. That is the worst plan in the history," Emma said, looking at her.

"I must agree with Emma here, Regina you cannot do that to her," Belle said.

"Maybe we wouldn't have to, I doubt she takes the dagger to bed with her, maybe we could just Sneak in and Steal it," Regina was looking at Emma now.

"Oh no, I am so not doing that, have it ever occurred to you that if she is happy she will not need the dagger or her revenge?" Emma asked annoyed, rolling her eyes at the Mayor now.

"Fine, fine, let use just hope you are right," Regina said with a heavy sigh, walking towards the door. Her good mood seeming to vanish. Emma shrugged at Belle as she followed her.

"Could that be, she is in love and that is why she let you go?" Belle wondered.

"Zelena being in love that I highly doubt, she is not capable of something else than envy," said Rumpelstiltskin, kissing his love again.

Belle broke free from the kiss and said, "Emma may have a point, and if she is right then you might be free and we can have a life together."

"As I said, I highly doubt she can love, but it is a nice thought," he agreed, smiling at her.

"Well let us take one thing at the time are you hungry, thirsty, tired?" she wondered, looking at him with concerned eyes.

"I could use something to eat," he admitted, oat meal wasn't all that good.

"I'll make you something, just have to close up here," said Belle and closed up, before dragging him to her apartment. She figured it was easier to talk to him there.


At the same time as Emma and Regina stopped by Gold's Pawn shop, Zelena and Red reached Zelena's house. Both stopped panting hard, leaning their hands on their thighs. Red got her breath back first and started on some stretches, which the other woman soon followed. Once they were done Red embraced Zelena and kissed her lips, not caring that both were sweaty. The older woman didn't seem to mind either as she kept on kissing her. At least until she ran out of air. She looked at Red with flushing cheeks and smiled, a hand entangled in her dark strands as she had been pushing her closer moments later. The brunette was smiling back at her and Zelena said, "Do you want to come inside, have a shower and something to...drink?"

"I wouldn't mind that much I am sure off," Red planted a kiss on her cheek.

The older woman too her hand and led her into the small house and up the stairs to the bathroom. It wasn't very modern, but it functioned for its use, which was to shower, washing up and putting on makeup. It had a sink on one side and a small cupboard above it, the doors mirrors, on the opposite site a towel rack, all towels green. Next to the sink a toilet, on top of it a green glass holding a green tooth brush, and in the end of the room was a shower cabinet, the shower curtain was oddly enough not green, but in the pattern of blue waves with fish in different colors. Zelena was feeling stupid and said, "I am sorry most in here is green, I can get you towels in other colors for later if you do prefer that, or a glass and a toothbrush even."

"I don't mind the green at all, I always liked the color, I could do with a toothbrush, but there is no rush for that," said Red and smiled at her.

"If things had been different I might have been royal and then it would have been purple instead," said Zelena with a heavy sigh.

"Well then you wouldn't be you and I love you the way you are," Red cupped her cheek and kissed her ever so gently. As she backed away she said, "So should we get undressed and shower."

"You don't want to shower alone," Zelena's voice sounded insecure.

"I just thought it would be nice if we showered together," Red said, figuring that way they could get to know each other.

Zelena seemed embarrassed by the mere thought of it, in fact she turned her back and withdraw. Red saw her fear saying, "I've only been with one before you."

"Considering you reputation I do find that hard to believe," Zelena said a bit surprised.

Now stunningly enough Red was the one to feel ashamed shaking her head. She took a deep breath, "I flirt, I tease, I make out, I have never gone all the way, except with Peter and you know what happened to him."

"At least younger than me, I am fifty one and I have never been with anyone, romantically or otherwise, I spent most of my days talking to a flying monkey," Zelena sighed heavily.

Red turned to look at her saying "Would you be okay with me just undressing you so we could shower?"

"I don't mind if I can undress you as well," said Zelena, smiling at her.

"I am okay with that," said Red and kissed her ever so gently. Zelena returned it, holding her ever so close as she continued the kiss. A moan escaped her breaking free, she removed Snow's sweater and singlet, then let the other woman remove the same objects of clothing from her body. Red's fingers were caressing lovingly over the other woman's green and pale skin, the colors sliding over in each other in a playful pattern. Still Red didn't mind as she loved every inch of the other woman. She planted a kiss on her shoulder, letting her hands rest on her lower back.

Zelena let her hands go explore down Red's back, trailing along her spine as her lips trailed along her shoulder. There was something about her that made her smell unlike everything she had ever experienced before, wild in a way, it excited her. Her hands going to loosen the bra clasp and letting it fall to the floor. Zelena repeated the motion as she kissed Red deeply. Between hungry kisses their pants and panties got discarded as well. Red let out a murmur, "Shower."

She dragged her love into it, kissing her, caressing her as she reached for the nob to turn on the water. Clearly it was too cold as Zelena let out a groan and backed out from the kiss, somehow turning the water on hotter, the other woman didn't seem to mind. She let her hand slide into Red's dark strands, pushing her closer. She used her other hand to grab for the the shampoo and let some poor into Red's hair, Red did the same, putting the bottle aside and then started to massage it into her hair. Zelena let out a moan in delight, doing to same to her. Once that was done and repeated twice they started washing each others bodies from top to bottom, moaning gently at each other by the seductive touches.

Red leaned in for another lingering kiss, feeling she couldn't get enough of the other woman, letting out a soft moan in the process. Zelena did the same, somehow managing to turn of the shower. Red broke free from her only to say, "How about we dry of and continue this in your bed?"

"I can do that," said, Zelena dragging her out of the shower and wrapping a big green towel around her, carefully drying her off.

Red grabbed another towel from the rack and started to dry of the older woman, slowly, gently not to harm her in any way, making sure her whole body was dry and most of her hair. Both putting the towels aside at the same time and Red leaned in to give her a soft kiss. As they backed away Zelena took her hand and led her to her bedroom. She had as Red expected a double bed. She sat down on the edge and motioned for Red to sit beside her. She quickly did that and soon the kisses from earlier continued, only now with increased intensity. Red's hand slide into her red strands pushing her closer as the kisses went deeper and more demanding, Zelena let out a moan, returning them with all she had.

A moan escaped her as she backed out from the kisses panting for air. Red smiled kissing her cheek, nodding towards the bed for them to lie down. The older woman did so first and Red carefully got on top of her asking, "Is this...is it okay, I am not too heavy?"

Zelena cupped her cheek, gently stroking it with her thumb, shaking her head, she was completely okay with her on top. Red smiled, blushing shyly, leaning in to kiss her again. Zelena returned it, a hand trailing down Red's backside now. Red let out a moan into her mouth, letting go of her lips and went to kiss her neck ever so gently instead. Zelena moved a bit, locking her legs around her and started to move back and forth, the other woman met with her movements by instinct, their wetness's meeting for each trust.

"Ohh," Zelena let out, her nails scraping against Red's lower back, she was going faster and faster. Red let her hands go to her breast, squeezing them as she kept on moving, while the other woman put more pressure on her lower back, making her head go back in ecstasy, it simply felt so good.

Zelena adjusted so her lips could lock around one of Red's stiff nipples. She somehow managed to suck on it as she kept on going hard and fast against the other woman. She was getting herself over the edge at the same time as Red started to tremble on top of her. She let go of her breast as she fell back, capturing the other woman that catch fell down on her. They continued to shake riding on their highs together.

As the older woman slowly calmed down she she let her legs loosen their grip around Red's body, and her hands just relaxed around her back, holding her. Red's head rested around her bosom, as she whispered, "You are perfect in every way, even with your green skin."

"I wish I could change that, the green skin," said Zelena with a heavy sigh.

"Maybe it will change in the future if you become less jealous and more in love with me," said Red kissing her shoulder blade gently.

"I hope so," she whispered, daring to close her eyes and get lost on the moment. They were perfect she felt, this first time, Red, everything, she didn't feel like moving at all, just stay there with her and rest, maybe continue later on. Red looked at her, noticing to her surprise the green color on her breasts slowly starting to vanish, she didn't say anything, afraid to ruin the moment, she just stayed there on top, happily resting.
