Day 30-Massage, Version A

(Set in the missing year)

Regina had just walked out into the courtyard to see David and Mary Margaret standing there watching Robin Hood and his Merry Men practice with their bows and arrows. One after another his men hit their target right in the middle.

"Kind of impressive, isn't it?" Mary Margaret asked.

"What? Having stinky men being able to fire a pointy stick? Can't be all that hard," Regina said with clear annoyance

"Is that so?" Robin asked as he walked up to them, to Regina in particular. "Well why don't you show us 'stinky men' how you would do it."

Regina rolled her eyes at him,"I'm a Queen and a little more refined then your rustic ways."

"Really? Then why don't you show us some of your finesse then," Robin challenged her.

"There is no finesse in your little archery," Regina said. Beside Regina, Mary Margaret and David were smiling at the delight in their little sass towards one another.

"Then prove it," Robin said.

"Fine, get out of my way," Regina said as she stormed past him, she grabbed a bow and arrow from one of his men. She held her position and let the arrow fly, she did hit the target but not the center of it.

Robin chuckled as he walked up beside her and pulled and arrow from his quiver, loading it. He then looked at her, as he let go of his arrow...splitting her arrow down the middle.

"You did that on purpose!" Regina said.

"That was just a warning shot, so how about we make another round really count?" Robin asked.

"Name it!" Regina said, her anger getting the best of her.

"First one to get a bull-eyes has to do one task for the winner," Robin challenged her.

"Fine. Be ready to clean my stables, thief!" Regina said as she carefully took aim, taking her time this go around. She aimed for the center, and using just a little of her magic as she let go fired.

Striking the center!

"Good luck, thief," Regina said as she moved for him to take a turn. She looked around as many had gathered around to watch their battle.

"Thank you, your majesty," Regina said as she watched him take his stance, aiming his arrow at the target. She waited and waited as he held his stance.

"Sometime before the next decade," Regina said.

"Patience, your majesty," Robin said as he looked at the target and finally let go off his arrow, it flew through the air, piercing a rain drop as it fell from the sky and hit its target...her arrow again! Splitting it down the middle once again.

Cheers and applause surrounded them, his Merry Men congratulating him. Roland came up to his father and hugged him, he then went over to Regina.

"I'm sorry, Regina, that you lost," Roland said as Regina leaned down and rubbed his little cheek, kissing it softly.

"Thank you, my little knight," she whispered to him. He smiled as he gave her a flower and took off, back to his father.

"You did well, Regina," Mary Margaret said as she walked up to them.

"Shut it," Regina said as Mary Margaret quietly walked away.

Regina waited as Robin walked up to her, an arrogant smirk on his face as he did so. "Now, I do believe you owe me a task," he said.

"What do you expect me to do? Wash your clothes for you so that they don't smell like a dirty forest for a little while?" Regina asked.

Robin chuckled at her saucy ways,"Well, your majesty, I didn't know you were that anxious to get me out of my clothes. If I had known sooner, I would have obliged you."

Regina was shocked for words, all she could do was stare at him for a few moments before finally saying,"Just tell me what the hell it is you really want."

"Well, tonight I'm on patrol duty and when I return, my aching muscles will need a good massage," Robin said. "So I'll expect to see you in my chamber upon my return." He then winked at her as he walked away, leaving a fuming Queen in the process.

Later that night, Regina was on her way to Robin's chambers. She may be angry she had lost their little duel, but she would honor her loss. Regina pushed open the door to his room and looked around. For a thief and a man who lived outdoors the majority of the time, he was tidy.

She walked over to where one of his shirts was laying on the bed, she looked around before bending down and picking it up. She brought it to her nose and inhaled it, smelling the strong scent of forest, a scent she was...

"Enjoying yourself?" Robin's voice called from behind her.

She quickly let go of the garment and looked at him, hating that she had been caught doing so."I was just thinking of how it's a shame you didn't let it get washed, it would get rid of this smell of peasant."

Robin smiled as he walked over to a table and laid down his bow and arrows, he then started to remove his shirt, pulling it over his head as he did so, showing his bare chest to her as he did so. Regina couldn't understand why her mouth suddenly went dry and a stirring started low inside of her...No! It couldn't be!

But she was not about to back down from...from this thief! She stood her ground as he then sat down and took off one boot, then the other. He stood back up and walked up to stand in front of her.

"I'm going to take a bath, when I get back I'll be waiting my massage, there are oils and lotions over there on that table," Robin pointed to one, but she never broke her eye contact with him.

He then walked around her to head into the bathing chambers, evidently he did bathe indoors as she heard him in the water a few seconds later.

Regina was taking in deep breaths as she thought of what was to come. She went over to the table and picked up a few lotions and oils. Minutes passed and she felt, rather than heard Robin come back into the room. She turned around to look at him.

He was the picture of masculine yumminess with his arms crossed over his broad, tanned chest, all hard lines and warm, firm muscles. Years of being on the run from her black knights and years in the forest had certainly been kind to his body, at least for her eyes.

He was standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist as a few trickles of water ran down his body, his hair was still slightly wet. Just looking at him and that stirring she had felt earlier, was now becoming a raging inferno in her loins.

She wanted him!

He had powerful thighs that were toned, trim calves. Hell, even his bare feet were sexy. And as far as what that towel was hiding...

The hairs on Regina's arms and the back of her neck tingled.

"Regina?" he said as she focused on his face. Bad idea, as his baby blue eyes stood out, framed by impossibly long lashes, perfect for a woman, downright sinful for a man.

"Let's just get this over with, go lay down on the bed," Regina commanded.

"Already wanting to get me into bed," Robin commented with a wink at her as he did as she said. He laid down with his chest on the bed, resting his head on his folded arms.

Regina's anger was still picking at her, how he actually expected her to go to him and put his hands on his body, to gently knead the soreness from his muscles. She slowly approached him and knelt down at his side, but so he wouldn't have any doubt that this was only because she had lost their duel.

"There are massages, thief, and then there are massages. The one you will get, won't be the one you were expecting," Regina said.

"Then you may begin with the one you now wish to give me, but you will end with the one you say I was expecting," Robin said.

She had all of his golden back there for her to work her frustration out on. She took the oil and poured some onto his back and on her hands, as she then brought her hands down to touch his skin. She pounded, gouged and gave him anything but a soothing, pleasurable massage.

The trouble was, her hands didn't last very long giving out that kind of punishment, yet she heard not a single grunt of discomfort from her victim. He should have at least tensed up when she worked on his back.

"My shoulders require your assistance as well," Robin said.

Regina could barely reach the top of his back, so instead she sat on the lower part of his back, her thighs were on either side of his hips as she reached up and massaged his shoulders.

"You want to tell me why you're so sassy with me," Robin murmured.

"You irritate me so," Regina answered honestly.

"Then why do you like to rise to the occasion with me," Robin said.

"There's something about you...something that just makes me want to keep you at bay," Regina answered.

Robin suddenly flipped over and now he was looking up at her, his towel was barely covering him now.

"You're upset with me, because I bother you in a good way," Robin said.

"Why did you ask for this massage?" Regina asked.

"I wanted this, because so you would become accustomed to my body," Robin answered,"you can now start on my chest."

Regina glanced at his chest before she could even touch it, she could feel the same heat coiling down into her belly. When she did finally touch it, her arousal came so swiftly, she nearly groaned her pleasure. His skin was so warm, yet gave little under her gentle kneading, was so silky to her fingertips, yet so muscle hard. Damn, she wanted to lean forward and kiss his chest, lick his chest with her tongue, to bite down on his nipples, but he gave no indication that he wanted anything other than the massage.

She was so hot for him she should have gone up in smoke, but his eyes were calm as they remained focused on her, his own arousal was now pressed up between her core as she slowly would rock up against it. His hands moved to her hips, making her move slightly up and down his erection.

"I'm thinking you're enjoying this massage as much as I am," Robin murmured as Regina leaned down and grabbed his chin in her hand.

"Shut up, or I'll put that sharp tongue of yours to good use," Regina said as she then turned his head to the side as she licked the side of one cheek.

"I'd be more than glad to let you use my tongue," Robin said as Regina leaned back and waved her hand, effectively removing her clothes by magic. She still sat on his lap, the only thing separating them was a towel, that had a tent to it.

She moved to straddle his head and said,"Help yourself," she said as she felt his head so that his lips hovered over her mound, his breathing teasing her sensitive flesh.

Regina almost shot off the bed, at the first lick of his tongue on her. He honed in on her inner thighs, licking, sucking and nipping at the soft skin there. Finally, with an almost primal growl he put his tongue to good use and gave her that first, delectable lick she wanted.

His tongue swept over here, entering her with it. She clutched at his headboard as she rode his mouth. He played with her little nub as he went back and forth to her folds. She was moaning as she craved the sweet release she knew he could give her.

"I need to come, now thief!" Regina ordered loudly.

She bit her lip as he sucked her on that nub, causing her hips to ground hard against him, she grabbed his hands and put them on her breasts, making him pinch her nipples as she came.

"Robin!" she called out as she surrendered to him.

As she finally came back down from earth, she looked down at him. He had that trade mark smirk on his face. She moved back to sit back down on his lap, moving the towel out of her way. She took his shaft and slipped him inside her wet core, groaning as he filled her to the hilt. She placed her hands on his chest, as his went to her hips as she started to ride him ever so slowly, went up, up, up until he was almost out of her, before sinking back down on him. She did this over and over and over again, rotating her hips as she did.

"Regina," he moaned as she continued to ride him.

He was so wired up, that he knew this was going to be torturous to make this last, but last he wanted to. She leaned down and bit his nearest nipple, and not too gently either. His moan turned to a growl, she laughed low and bent to make amends to his nipple, swirling her tongue around it. She kept her eyes on him as she did, his eyes were locked on her, their enjoyment clearly there.

She felt one of his hands move, his thumb pressing down on her clit as she started to come. She gasped his hands as she called out his name again,"Robin! she felt his hips bucking upwards as she felt him start to come as well. His seed spurting deep inside her as her eyes locked with something she hadn't seen before, until this moment.

A lion tattoo!

This thief was her soul mate!

The man she was destined to be with!
