Rumple had been gone all day. He'd had to leave early, before breakfast, to broker what he'd said was a very important deal. Belle had missed him terribly. He'd been spending so much time near her lately that she felt lonely whenever he was out of her sight. But when he was out of the castle, the loneliness was unbearable.

"Rumple!" He startled her as he appeared behind her and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close so that her back was against his front. He'd never done anything like that before.

He put his face close to her neck, almost nuzzling her. She felt her body responding. "Did you miss me?" She could feel his breath on her neck as he spoke.

"Yes. It's lonely when you're gone." She reached back to stroke his cheek and he pulled her closer against him so that she could feel his hard length pressing against her. She was shocked by his boldness. It wasn't like him, but she welcomed it. Something had changed. He was more confident… about himself and about how she felt about him. It made her heart lighter to see this change in him.

"Dinner's just about ready."

"Very well. I'm starving." He leaned closer and she thought she felt his lips on her throat. He suddenly pulled away and headed for the great room. Belle noted that he was very visibly aroused.

Rumple was very animated at dinner. His deal had gone better than expected. He was also happy to be back home again with Belle. How he had missed her. He'd spent the whole trip thinking about her when he wasn't busy dealing. He'd wanted nothing more than to be back in her presence again.

When dinner was over Rumple asked Belle to join him in the library. He was determined to be next to her. He needed physical contact with her more than he needed anything.

"Would you like me to read to you, Rumple?"

"Yes, Belle." His cock hardened as he thought about the last time she had read to him. "Can I put my head on your lap again?" He needed to feel her massaging his scalp and running her fingers through his hair.

"Of course, Rumple." She sat down at the end of the settee and he lay down, settling his head on her lap. He sighed in contentment at the contact.

"Let me help you relax a little before I start reading." Belle began to massage his temples with her fingers and then his cheeks with her thumbs. He whimpered. She then took his earlobes between her fingers and rubbed them with firm little strokes. He made little moaning noises. She could see the outline of his cock straining once again against his leather trousers. Belle reached for the throw that was lying over the back of the settee.

"Why don't you take your trousers off, Rumple? It will be more comfortable. You can cover yourself with this." He whimpered again and then did as she suggested. His cock sprang up fully erect. Belle ran her fingers through his hair and she felt a throbbing between her legs at the sight of his arousal. He put the blanket over himself but his erection could not be hidden.

Belle let out a little whimper of her own. Rumple smelled her arousal immediately and it only served to make him harder.

Belle finally picked up the book and started reading to him. She continued running her fingers through his hair and massaging his scalp.

Rumple moaned and whimpered as Belle pet him. He was extremely aroused, but extremely content at the same time.

After a while he opened his eyes and looked up at Belle. Her breasts were heaving above him and his fixation with them began to overpower him. He needed to touch them and put his mouth on them again.

He reached up and tentatively pulled on the laces that were holding her bodice closed. If Belle noticed, she didn't let on. He continued to unlace her bodice until it was completely undone. He gently pulled it open exposing the thin white muslin chemise that was covering her. Her breasts and nipples were visible through the fabric. Rumple whimpered again and his cock felt ready to burst.

"Belle." He whimpered.

"What is it Rumple?" She smiled down at him. "Do you want to touch me?"

"Yes, Belle."

"It's OK." She stroked his cheek.

He reached up and touched her nipples through the fabric of her chemise. Belle whimpered. "Mmmm… I like that, Rumple." He began to slowly caress them with his thumbs. She could feel the wetness between her legs and he could smell her increased arousal.

"Do you want to suck on them Rumple?" He let out a strangled moan. Belle pulled her chemise down and exposed her bare breasts to him. He moaned again. She leaned forward so that he could put his mouth on her. His first instinct was to take her breast completely in his mouth and suck hungrily on her. But he held himself back and gently teased her nipples with his tongue. Her reaction was intense. She let out little cries and put her hands under his head to pull him up closer to her. "Rumple." Her obvious excitement made him more aroused than he'd ever been. He continued to tease her with his tongue, eventually taking her nipples into his mouth and gently sucking on them. He was desperate for release, but he could have easily continued this all night. The feeling of her in his mouth was intoxicating to him.

Belle started squirming under him and making little noises. He knew that she was as aroused as he was and needed release. He looked up to meet her eyes. "Your mouth feels so good on me Rumple. So good." She squirmed under him and whimpered again.

A dawning realization passed over him. "Belle?"

"Please, Rumple. Please." She pulled her dress up as far as she could with him leaning against her. He moved off of her and directed his attention to her skirt. Belle pulled it up all the way revealing herself completely to him. He whimpered at the sight of her naked body and the juices between her legs. He moved off the settee so that she could lie down on it. She opened her legs wide for him and he knelt between them. He'd never done anything like this before. His cock was so hard that it was almost painful. He bent down and pressed his nose and lips into her. She bucked her hips and let out a cry. "Please, Rumple." He leaned in further and swiped his tongue over her folds to lap up her juices. Her reaction was intense as she cried out and arched her back. Rumple's cock became even more engorged at her reaction. She liked what he was doing and he wanted to please her oh so badly. He swiped his tongue over her again and this time paused where he remembered she liked to feel his fingers. She dug her fingers into his skull and held his head there. Her cries sounded desperate. Rumple used his fingers to open her up wider so that he could lick her better. He used the flat of his tongue to tease and cajole her as she cried out and arched against him more frantically. Ultimately, he couldn't resist putting his mouth completely over her and sucking on her until she screamed out and her body convulsed in response.

He was so excited by her reaction to his attentions that his seed came pouring out of him at the same time. He'd never been so aroused by anything and had never felt so good about himself. He couldn't get enough of her. He hungrily lapped up the juices that had poured out of her.

"Rumple…" Belle whimpered his name. He moved up next to her and she turned to face him. He rubbed his cock against her wetness and she responded favorably. His body wanted to be joined with hers. If he hadn't come already, he wasn't sure he would have been able to hold himself back. He was nervous about where they were heading and yet he wanted it more than anything.

"Belle." He nuzzled her neck and she ran her fingers through his hair. His cock stirred and started to harden again. He needed to move it away from her, but he didn't want to. It felt right exactly where it was.

"Will you sleep with me again tonight, Rumple?"

"Yes, Belle." He'd sleep with her every night for now on. He couldn't imagine not sleeping with her.
