Two updates in one week? That has got to be a record! A few characters will be introduced and I terribly sorry if they're very ooc but in my defence, I haven't seen their movie; I've only seen trailers and very short clips.

There is some fluff and implied smut in this chapter. This is my first attempt at smut so don't be surprised if it sucks.

Chapter #9: Secrets of the Inn

Third Person POV

The Transylvanian Inn was a popular spot in DunBroch, despite the fact that it was often filled with those from the MacInroy clan. On any regular day, one would see a sea of black and red but today was busier than usual since many of the merchants and traders had decided to stay here; the hospitality of the inn may not be the best but the food and the drink was to die for.

The owner of the inn, Cairbre Donaghue, was the typical MacInroy man: dominant and a strong believer of "pure-blooded and pure-minded" but he never let that moral get in the way of business. After all: costumer is gold. Instead, he made any non-Scot pay more. That way he'd earn more and keep his morals intact.

Why someone like Onceler would stay at an inn like this was anyone's guess but the real reason was known by only a handful of people. Among them was Mavis, the only daughter and child of Cairbre.

Mavis was just as old as her friend Rapunzel: 24. Most women would have been married by this age but not Mavis. Cairbre had tried several times to talk her into finding a husband but each time she refused. The only reason he hadn't forced her to marry is because he made a promise to her mother before she died: that Mavis has a say in choosing a husband. Cairbre had agreed under the condition that Mavis' husband would be from clan MacInroy. Since the death of his wife, Cairbre had been searching for potential suitors, hoping to find one that would catch his daughter's eye.

But unbeknownst to him, a man had already caught Mavis' eye. She had known him quite a while and she knew that he was the only one she wanted to marry. There were just two problems: he wasn't from the MacInroy clan and, to make matters worse, he wasn't Scottish but Mavis didn't care. She was one of the few from her clan that didn't believe in the famous MacInroy moral.

Onceler entered the bustling inn and sat down at an empty table in a forgotten corner, earning a few sneers from passing MacInroy men. He stared quietly at the fireplace adjacent to the table. He didn't look up when the door of the inn burst open and prostitutes from local brothels entered and attempted to seduce a potential customer. The MacInroy men cheered loudly and looked at the whores with greedy and lustful eyes but Onceler ignored them and continued to stare at the fire, praying that they'd all let him be.

"Well, aren't you a pretty one." A blonde whore cooed as she set herself on Onceler's lap, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. Her slender finger caressed his cheek and she lowered her dress off of one shoulder, revealing the pale and smooth skin. She leaned close to his face, cupping his chin with her fingers. She leaned closer and closer, so close that their lips were almost touching. Suddenly, the blonde shrieked and the weight on Onceler's lap disappeared.

"Get out of here!" He heard a familiar feminine voice yell. The blonde hastily pulled the fabric back over her shoulder and ran out of the inn. Onceler's rescuer had her back to him. The only thing he could see was a simple black dress with a thick white trim at the hem of the dress and a long black hair that was done up in a braid. She turned around and saw the familiar mystifying blue eyes,

"Thanks, Mavis." He muttered, feeling his heart speed up in his chest. Mavis smiled and opened her mouth to say something when a voice boomed from nearly across the inn,

"Ah! A familiar face!" Mavis rolled her eyes and stepped aside ever so slightly as Cairbre approached. He stopped right by Onceler's table, his blue eyes glaring down at him, "Nice seeing you again." Cairbre commented, his voice overwhelming with sarcasm. Onceler gave a responsive nod,

"Likewise." Onceler replied in a fairly cold tone, his sight switching between Cairbre and Mavis.

"So, how long are you staying in DunBroch this time?" Cairbre inquired,

"At least 4 days."

"Ah. Staying for your sister's gathering are we?" Onceler nodded in reply, looking at Mavis again. She had her arms crossed and shook her head at her father's tone. There was a silence between the two men. "Same room as always?" Cairbre asked and Onceler nodded again. Cairbre turned around and looked at Mavis, "Get him something to eat and drink. Can't have my customers starve now can we?" He ordered as he walked away to welcome travelers that had just entered. Mavis rolled her eyes and walked away into the kitchens. Onceler continued to look into the fire until he heard something being placed onto his table,

"Here you go." He heard Mavis say as he looked at the hearty stew and ale she had brought him,

"Thanks." He muttered and felt his face heat up and his heart beat faster as he looked at her. Mavis smiled kindly

"Rapunzel told me you weren't coming this year." She said with disappoint the dominant tone. Onceler chuckled and rubbed his arm nervously,

"Sorry about that." Mavis let out a small laugh and placed her hand on the table, their fingers brushing against each other,

"It's alright." She consoled, "I'm just glad I got to see you again." Onceler looked at her and smiled,

"Me too."

Still Third Person POV

It was close to midnight but Onceler nowhere near asleep. He was sitting on the bed in his room, half dressed and fiddling with his fingers. He had been waiting for a while now but for how long he didn't know. As he sat, a thousand questions buzzed through his mind. Where was she? Would she even come? Did she want to see him? Did-?

The creaking of the door snapped Onceler out of his trance. A figure carrying a small candle holder with a single lit candle entered the room, closing the door behind them and locking it. The figure turned around, the faint candle light revealing their face: Mavis. She was still fully dressed; she'd probably just finished downstairs. She looked at Onceler and smiled brightly. As she placed the candle on a nearby table, Onceler stood up and walked to her,

"Your dad's asleep?" He whispered. She turned to face him and nodded,

"Yes." She whispered back.

"You sure?"

"Yes." She nodded and smiled even more bright. Onceler stopped in front of her. They stared at each other for only a second before they threw their arms around each other and kissed each other with all their might, stopping only to catch their breath, "I missed you so much." Mavis whispered before giving Onceler another passionate kiss, "Why didn't you tell Rapunzel you were coming?" They kissed again,

"I wanted to surprise Rapunzel," He gave her a tender peck, "And you." Mavis giggled and Onceler kissed her again.

"Could you quickly do something?" Mavis said in between kissing Onceler and taking breaths,

"What?" Mavis stopped the kiss, turned around and moved her braid over her shoulder, undoing the braid,

"Undo the back." She looked at him over her shoulder, "Please." Onceler looked at her for a moment but then slowly moved his hand down her spine to the carefully tied knot near the end of her spine. Mavis felt a shiver rack her body as Onceler moved his way up the string. When he had reached the top he discarded the string onto the floor. He moved his hand on her shoulder, going under her dress and chemise, feeling the soft and warm skin.

Mavis let out a sigh of ecstasy; oh god, how much she wanted him. She let out another deep sigh when she felt Onceler moving the dress and chemise off of her shoulder and let out a quiet moan when she felt his warm lips caressing her neck and shoulder. From an unexplainable reason, she turned around to face him. Mavis stared at Onceler and moved her hands to the edge of her dress and chemise, sliding them off of her shoulder and her body.

Onceler was given no chance to look at her naked body because Mavis had wrapped her arms around him and was kissing him again with a fire and a passion like never before.

"I love you." Onceler whispered when they broke the passionate kiss for breath.

"I know." Mavis whispered back, "I love you too." They smiled and they kissed each other again and again.

Phew, there was my first smut scene. How did I do? I'm pretty sure that some of you think that I'm being repetitive with the braid but that's what they did in Medieval times. Young girls and unmarried women wore their hair in braids to keep dirt and such out of it while married women covered their heads. I know that Rapunzel is married but I didn't cover her head because I honestly could not think of a head covering that looked good with what she wears. Besides, in Tangled, she never wears anything on her head, the exception being the crown. Review, favourite, follow.
