There was nothing worse in the world than the struggle of falling in love with your best friend...

At least that was what Robin of Locksley read out of the device Belle gave him earlier that day so that he could do all his researches without having to tie himself to the library.

A tablet, she called it… a pesky little object that tied you up in a whole different way because ever since he learned how to use it, he hasn't been able to put it down.

What could he say? From such a mundane little thing he has been able to find all kinds of information in all imaginable subjects; some of great importance and others silly things like the fallacy he just read.

Yes, he couldn't deny that in his current situation, the words appealed to him with their tragically romantic vibes; but taking pride in being a rational person, he also couldn't overlook the fact that whoever wrote such a thing knew nothing about the real struggles of life.

They knew nothing about learning how to keep living after the death of a loved one, or of real hunger, the kind that would last for long days… and they probably didn't know how dreadful it was to spend whole nights out in the woods, with nothing to take cover with and your hands buried deep into your own breeches so your fingers wouldn't fall off with the cold.

Those things right there were a hell of a lot worse than loving a friend and he could attest to that from his own experiences.

True, he could also understand where such a statement came from and how desperate the person who wrote it must feel, because he also knew how bad it was to be in love with a friend.

Love of the real kind, mind you, and not that temporary malady called infatuation that seemed to have infected half the population of that bizarre realm he was now living in.

So yes… he knew… he also knew how it felt not being reciprocated because that was his reality when it came to Regina.

He was in love with her, and she could only see him as a very good friend.

That became very clear to him in the days that followed their night together and afraid of pushing too hard, he simply tried to get things back as they were before. He aimed for clinging to their friendship, and when their companionship started to fall back in place, he decided not to risk it ever again.

Now, maybe his case was a tad more complicated than most because the recent twist in their friendship was putting him between a rock and a hard place. He now knew how ripe she was, how it felt to touch her skin and kiss her lips and still, he had to live as if he knew nothing of that or else, he could loose her.

His was a real struggle, because he experienced how it felt to have her… all of her, and yet to keep being a constant in her life he felt forced to suffocate his real feelings. Because if she knew…

Letting out an unamused chuckle, the former Outlaw shook his head, not really wanting his thoughts to wander there.

He knew Regina would shut him out if she ever knew about how he felt and taking in consideration the delicate situation they were now in, a thing like that would be disastrous. Especially now that they were about to try a second time to get her pregnant.

That was why he was back at playing the role of a supportive friend instead of letting her know about his true feelings.

He didn't want to stress her out or let alone make her feel uncomfortable, so this time… well, this time he was not going to let his feelings get in the way of their purpose. He needed to get her pregnant that night, whatever it took; because if he wanted to keep what he felt to himself, he couldn't keep bedding her.

It was just too much, and even if he has been sure he could handle it, it turned out that he couldn't.

He came prepared for that night, but if it didn't happen, he would have to start considering on changing methods.

With that in mind, the former Outlaw stopped reading about unrequited love and of being stuck in the so-called friend zone and went back to research more about conception and what could he do to make it happen.

There were quite a few interesting theories, some that made him chuckle and some he definitely needed to try. Some also came accompanied with very explicit images and yes, maybe he spent a little more time inspecting those.

Unfortunately, the ones with the images would bait you into clicking your way into some lewd videos that in nothing helped his cause.

Yes, he watched them…they were oddly addicting, actually, but after he watched a few, the only thing he managed was remembering how Regina's body received him that first time and he ended up having to need a moment to calm down his treacherous body.

That has been earlier, before helping himself into her house, and now that he was there, his libido calmed down and his mind in a much better place, he was physically and mentally ready for whatever happened.

"So I was at Belle's library earlier today doing some research and I think I found the best technique to get you with child in just one try. Well, this would count as a second try but you get the drill."

Sure, the man that was recommending such a thing also said it was a sure way to get your woman pregnant with two babies at the same time so he wasn't so sure about using that one.

Yes, he was already sold on the idea of having a child, but he didn't know if two at the same time was something she wanted.

"Did you know that there's a thing called internet where you can search almost anything? Well I didn't, not until today that was. Belle even got me this-" He turned the device backwards, amazed at the simplicity of it. "thing to search it on and it has all kind of information that I can carry around everywhere."

With his eyes glued to the tablet, Robin noticed the exact moment when Regina turned off the shower. He also heard when she slid the glass open; still, he never looked up.

He was not going to entertain his mind looking or even imagining The Mayor of town naked behind that glass as that would just kill his intent of maintaining this friendly; so he kept reading… researching last minute techniques.

"You are early." She said, her tone serious and a little strained and he wondered if he overstepped by getting into her bathroom while she was still bathing.

Knowing her and how much he valued her privacy, he probably did, so trying to appease her, he smiled what he hoped was an apologetic smile while venturing to finally take a look at her.

It was supposed to be quick, a lighthearted thing he has done many times before, but as soon as his eyes meet her lovely chocolate stare, he remembered his purpose and quickly returned his attention to the tablet.

"Really?" He added with a shrug.

Regina didn't reply, she simply walked out of the shower and quietly made it to her bedchambers. He followed her, not too close as to harass her though, and as he did so, he tried to evade letting his eyes go to her.

Oh, but they did, he looked… barely a glance when she has been walking in front of him. But with just that second, his mind became a bloody mess.

He slipped on dry, there was no excuse, and before he could prevent it, he was back again at seeing her with less than friendly eyes.

It was just that… shit, she was wrapped in just a small white towel that in nothing was covering her whole frame and a second of his eyes on her was enough to make his mind speed up.

Even after he stopped looking, he couldn't get the image out of his mind. How her shoulders and part of her back were completely exposed and with her being just out of a shower, how her skin looked enticingly moist and smooth.

He basically had to suppress the need to touch her, and because she was also wearing her hair up in a messy bun on top of her head, that made the column of her neck stand out for his eyes to see as well and he was entranced.

It was just hypnotic, that was the pull she had on him and his mouth got dry just imagining how it would feel to kiss her there.

Would she like it? Squirm a little if he allowed his tongue to taste her?

Last time she seemed to enjoy their time together and he didn't even do to her half of the things he has wanted to do.

What if this time he did? It was basically his last chance so what if he indulged a little?

Nothing too much and nothing she wouldn't like though…

"I went to the clinic and told the Doctor that we were going to try things naturally again and he said that it was good. He still recommends the in vitro but if natural is how you want it there is no problem. Now, he still wants to see you and probably do a sperm count."

Abruptly taken out of his thoughts by what she said, Robin tilted his head up to look at her, flashing her a confused grin as he snorted. "A what?"

"A semen analysis. It's not required but if it turns out that you have low sperm count then the chances of me getting pregnant are going to be lower."

And that was how she killed his ego and whatever impure thought he was having, all with just one shot.

Putting the tablet over her dresser and then tilting his head to the side, Robin blinked slowly. "I don't know what's with this realm and your doctors and clinics but somehow I don't like it."

Regina didn't even bat an eyelash at his words, she just looked at him dead in the eye and quirked her lips.

"Fine, you don't have to do it if you don't want to, we'll do everything your way."

She ended her statement with a shrug and was he going crazy or did she say that with a little bit of an attitude?

He narrowed his eyes, staring at her and by the way she refused to drop the defiant glare, he realized that yes, she was being salty with him.

That right there made him go in full defensive mode so he scoffed.

"I had Roland without some bogus doctor examining me or my semen so I would say my way is more than alright."

"Fine." Regina snapped, looking away from him. "It was just a passing suggestion, you don't need to bite my head off."

"Then don't go questioning my manhood. Is that what you talked with the Doctor in your last visit, how I didn't get the job done because a nonexistent problem with my semen?"

Apparently taken aback by his sudden sour mood, Regina opened her mouth to reply and then she shut it back close, her eyes fixed deep into his.

"That's not what I said." She whispered dryly.

"Well it sounded that way to me." He fired back with a bitter chuckle as he folded his arms to his chest.

He just couldn't believe her… how she was wrapping everything what was bothering her and taking it against him because yes, that was exactly what she was doing.

It was how she worked, her mechanism of defense and he couldn't believe that of all people, she was pulling this one on him.

It was simple, throughout their friendship they had managed to keep from arguing and he didn't want them to start in such a pivotal moment. It couldn't happen now that they were planning on starting a family, that was why he was going to take the high road and make it all better…

But, before he could say something to improve their moods, Regina turned her back to him and snorted.

"You know-" Se began to say as she walked towards her closet; then, after grabbing a shirt she went to her dresser and started to angrily rummage through it. "You don't have to do this just because I asked you to."

And there, knowing how she took him directly to the root of her discomfort, Robin sighed, not liking the slight tremor of her voice as she hastily put on some underwear.

Regina…

She was an enigma wrapped in a riddle but he has learnt to pick on her moods, that was why running a hand over his jaw, he walked to her, his hands automatically resting on her hips as a way to bring her closer.

He knew the woman wasn't exactly the kind who took comfort in physical contact but for this, he deemed it necessary as a way to reassure her.

She wasn't mad, she was for some reason upset and he didn't want to contribute in keeping her feeling that way.

"Regina," He said in a much kinder tone, hoping she wouldn't close up on him. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to, you know that."

Breathing out, the former Queen threw her head back, her fresh scent invading all his senses.

"I know… I know, and I'm sorry… I just feel too stressed about this."

Biting hard into his lips, Robin nodded as he dragged his hands to her shoulders. "You do sound tense."

Now, he was definitely not an expert when it came to her and there were still so many things she kept from him, but if there was something he knew, it was that despite her tough appearances, the so called Evil Queen didn't exactly have a lot of self-confidence.

She would cut off her right arm before ever admitting it, but he has seen her struggle when it came to opening up so this that she was doing was probably taking a huge toll on her. And here he was, making it even more difficult…

"That's because I am."

Wanting her to relax, the blue-eyed man put his fingers to good use and started to massage her shoulders and the back of her neck, using only the sightless of pressure as to not make her feel uncomfortable.

"You think too much."

"I know."

He worked on her in silence and as chastily as he could, but what could he say? Having her so close as she little by little started to relax under his ministrations made his impure thoughts flare up.

She just felt too good to be real and getting caught in the moment, he lowered his hands back to her hips as his nose buried into her hair. He did that without really planning on it, an impulse that allowed him to breathe into her feminine scent.

"Better?" He asked darkly, turning her around so that he could face her.

Her eyes were closed, but once in front of him she blinked them open as she offered him one of her rare smiles, the kind that would make his heart swell.

That's when he knew he wouldn't be able to keep things friendly. At least not that night.

He wanted her, as he has always done, and with her eyes looking so bright and her skin smelling so good, he just wouldn't be able to keep his desire at bay.

Now yes, he was not going to do anything she didn't want to do, but if they were in that room already, why not make the best of it?

Last time she didn't complain… bloody hell she even enjoyed it, so he was going to aim to make her feel the same amount of good she felt their first time.

Who knew? Now that the awkwardness of that first time was gone, this could turn out to be even better.

Besides it was sex. He was only human and friends or not, she surely was not expecting him to be clinical about it, right?

It wasn't about the love he felt, it was just human nature… the same reason she would respond to him if he touched her the right way.

"I would say so-" She began to say and at her response, Robin hummed, turning around and sitting in a corner of her bed.

Once there he motioned her over, his eyes fixing on hers to see if there was any trace of doubt or discomfort in her.

There was none, in fact, she went to him as if in a trance, so once she was standing in front of him he grabbed the edges of her towel to pull it open, his eyes roaming all along.

Holding on his breath, the man swallowed on dry because damn, his friend was more than gorgeous. Even though her small frame she was stunning, simply perfect.

Narrow waist, perky breast and flawless skin… she was fit, with curves in all the right places. And that was just looking at her from this vantage point, because he knew how much he was going to love looking at her fleshy arse if he just turned her around.

"Yeah, let's get started with this. You probably have a lot of thing to do tonight."

Scoffing, Robin wrapped both hands to the hollow of her waist and pulling her closer, he leaned forward and pressed his mouth just above her navel.

"Why, we haven't even started and you are already kicking me out? That's not nice, Regina."

With that said, he started to move his lips up her stomach and to her ribcage, loving the silky texture of her skin against his lips and loving it even more when she placed a hand to the top of his head.

He waited, giving her time to push him away if she wanted to, but when she didn't he felt encouraged to go a bit further.

He buried his face into the swell of her breast, first placing a kiss right between them and then dragging his tongue flat over her flesh, probing, tasting…

"Once again putting words in my mouth; I'm not kicking you out, I just don't want you to feel obliged to stay after."

"Roland is staying with Belle for the night so I'm covered." He mumbled right before using his teeth to tug lightly at the hard peak of her nipple; then he lapped at it, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the moment.

"With Belle? Didn't know you two were close."

He sucked on her before replying, his mouth full and his tongue swirling over her. "We go back from the Enchanted Forest; long story."

He would tell her, later if she really wanted to know, but right in that moment his mind was compromised in something more pleasurable.

She felt amazing in his mouth, against his tongue and wanting to add to the experience, he took all of what he could take.

"Oh…"

That was all she said, and moving away so he could give the same attention to her other breast, he hummed.

He indulged for a while on this, taking the way her fingers moved through his hair to be an encouragement to keep going.

And he did, then with his mouth still on her, he lowered his hands and placed them on top of her ass so that he could pull her underwear down.

"Is this okay?" He asked just in case and for heaven's sake he hoped it was. Not like he wouldn't stop if she asked him to, but he was already as hard as he was going to get and his body wouldn't take it well if she suddenly decided to stop.

"Um-hum."

Relieved, he sighed; then as he still feasted on her, Robin smiled when she helped him get rid of her underwear.

It was probably a silly thing, but any sign that she wanted this was a welcome one for him.

"Let me…" She began to say after a while, taking a step back and grabbing his hand to make him stand to his feet.

He complied, getting up in silence and letting her take care of his own clothes.

He just watched her as she pulled off his shirt over his head and then, when she went to work with his belt he stared even more intently.

She was doing just fine, the belt was off and tossed along with his shirt so it was going good, but when she tried for his zipper, her fingers brushed against his hard cock and that seemed to take her aback.

"Sorry."

It has been basically nothing, he barely even felt it through his clothes, but watching the heat that took over her chest made him smile in amusement.

She was blushing, the one and only Regina Mills, Queen of the Enchanted Forest was blushing because of him and damn, he couldn't help but to feel his ego burst.

"Do you want me to help you with that?" He asked and without waiting for a reply, he started to get undressed.

He took it all, even his shoes and socks were kicked away.

"Well thank you." She hissed in false bravado and once again, Robin smiled.

It was encouraging to see this side of her and yes, he wanted to see more of it.

Probably ego-tripping, Robin grabbed her by the waist to pull her closer, so close that his erection ended up cradled between her stomach and his body.

"What about now, still tense?" He asked, his voice was a low raspy whisper lost in the air.

"Nope… it takes more than a naked man to make me tense up."

At her words, Robin snorted, reaching for the clasp she used to tie up her dark hair and taking it off, watching as her locks came freely down over her naked shoulders.

She was a vision like that, naked, her hair a little tousled and her face bare of any make up. This was her at her purest, at her most intimate and just watching her like that made him want to cling to her and never let go.

He didn't, obviously… he just sat over the mattress once again and brought her down with him. "Come here."

Chewing on her lips in a way that was both sexy and cute, Regina climbed on top of him; straddling his hips and placing her hands to his shoulders.

That right there made him suck in a deep breath because the position she took placed the heat between her legs right over his rigid cock.

Sure, the angle was all wrong for him to go into her, but the contact was enough to make him get even more bothered.

Then, as if that wasn't enough for his mind to take, she leaned forward and placed her mouth to his.

It was almost a timid contact at first and he let her have it, let her get used to the feeling of his mouth on hers; but when she searched for a better angle, he took it as a green light to take it deeper and he went for it, pushing his tongue pass her soft lips to kiss her like it was meant to be. Slow, deep, his tongue stroking against hers as she sighed against him.

He loved it, kissing her was something he would do forever if she allowed him to, but since he was sure she would never grant him that privilege, he was going to make the best of it right then and there.

That was how with their tongues melting together and with her fingers running through his hair, Robin put his hands into motion and ran a finger down her spine.

That right there made her tremble and that must have been a good thing because she pressed harder to him, her chest flushed against his torso and her kiss going a little deeper.

It was encouraging, especially when he could feel how wet and warm she was right between her legs. She was ready, and wanting to feel more of that promising heat he slid his hands down to her ass, pulling her as close as she would come and thus making his cock poke hard at her.

Maybe it was too much, because she suddenly pulled away, her eyes wilder than ever and her cheeks aflame.

"Listen…" She began to say, but when no other word came out she closed her eyes and breathed in.

"What?" He whispered, but instead of waiting for a reply, he moved his lips to the underside of her jaw and started to kiss a path down her throat, his tongue moving along her skin until she wriggled in his arms, making this barely perceptible hum in her throat.

He smiled in triumph at that, his fingers roaming over her arse, pulling her closer, his palms filling with her generous flesh.

In a matter of nothing he was moving her against him and she… bloody hell she was adding a very pleasurable movement of her own that was making the entire length of his cock slid between her wet folds.

She was grinding against him and he could feel her opening to him, ready, eager for him to claim… and it was driving him mad with need.

It was all insane, to a point where his brain was all clouded up. But when he felt the way she lifted a little and lined him up so that he could finally enter her, he grabbed her hips still and held her in place.

Yes, he wanted her, but he wanted to enjoy all of it, without hurries… little by little so that he could engrave it all in his brain.

"What, what is it?" She asked in a raspy breath.

"Shhh." After hushing her, Robin kissed her pouty lips briefly and then ever so slowly, he started to ease her down his cock.

He took his sweet time, enjoying the way she started to wrap him up into her velvety heat, making way deep inside her until he was settled all the way in.

"Gods, Regina-" He hissed at the overwhelming sensation of having her once again.

She wouldn't know it, but the feeling of being buried deep into her was one he hadn't been able to ban from his mind.

He would think of it when it was late at night and the memory of her would come to haunt him and he would remember how she felt when she would smile at him or roll her eyes at something he just said. Yes, maybe what he felt was bordering in obsession, but the feeling of her at her rawest was something that would be with him always.

And being able to feel it for real again? It was more than what he ever hoped for and he'll be damned if he didn't enjoy it.

He will deal with the way this was going to fuck his mind later, now he was just going to enjoy it.

With that in mind, his hands reached for her arse once again so that he could start moving her against him, making her go almost all the way out, and then pushing hard into her once again; drawing out, and then back in.

Lost in sensation, they started to kiss again and if it was possible, his need for having all of what she was grew even stronger.

It was insane and it was taking everything he had in him to maintain some control instead of fucking her hard and fast. That was what his body craved for, what his aching cock wanted. But he knew that would only make him reach an early release and that was something he didn't want to happen.

No… he wanted to please her, and he wanted to take his time to discover all the wonders she had to offer.

As for her… he could tell she was enjoying it, at least if he was going to judge by the way she moaned into his mouth and if anything, that only added more fuel into him.

He couldn't help it, she just felt too damn good so he increased his rhythm, his hands pressing harder and his kiss becoming more insistent.

If he didn't slow, this was going to end soon and yes, the whole purpose of what they were doing was for him to fill her up with his release… but he didn't want to reach that point just yet.

He was going to tell her, and he was going to do it now that she broke from the kiss.

"Would it be bad if I tell you that I don't want to end just yet?" Before she could reply, Robin grabbed her thighs and without pulling out of her, he swirled her around and made her lay on her back.

Once settled, he did pull out, as he couldn't do what he wanted to do if his cock was still in there.

"What are you doing?" She asked while sitting up.

Shutting her up with a kiss, Robin pushed her back down and when she was flat on her back, he moved his lips down.

That way he kissed her chin, her shoulders, her tits once again and then he made it to her tense lower stomach, meaning to go even lower until he could bury his face between her legs.

"You don't have to do that." She breathed out, her voice sultry and dark.

"You said we were going to do things my way so shhh." With that said, he ran his tongue down the bone of her hip, dragged it down to her pubic area and then taking hold of one of her legs and pulling it away, he descended his mouth into her and pressed his lips right into her core.

The contact made Regina moan brokenly and the sound worked sorcery on him. Then it was her scent, her taste, how wet and hot she was and he knew he could cum just by exploring all that she had.

"Wait…" She gasped when he started probing her ever so slightly, causing her to whine when his mouth closed over her burning flesh.

She was divine, his Queen… his friend, and wanting to make her feel fantastic, he allowed his tongue to circle around her opening as he sucked on her clit.

That right there made her hips lift and the raspy growl she emitted when his tongue dragged flat all over her made his cock twitch in neglect.

She was enjoying it, so ignoring his own needs he kept at it, feasting on her, getting drunk on her taste and feeling proud of every tremble and moan.

"Ohhh… Robin."

But as soon as she said his name in such a sensual raspy moan, a feral instinct woke up in him and he knew he needed to make things happen. Luckily, it just took him a firm roll of his tongue over her bundle of nerves for her to come undone in his mouth.

She moaned even louder, burying her hand into his hair, her hips darting forward as his tongue plunged right into her, taking all she had to offer greedily.

She was still riding her orgasm when he moved up her body and accommodating back in place, he pushed in.

He growled as he settled into her still contracting sex, searching for her mouth to kiss.

That way, he succumbed into his desire and started to fuck her hard. It was insane, there was no control left in him, especially when she started to whisper into his ear a few encouraging words.

How she liked it, how she didn't want him to stop and then the one that made him break into a million pieces, that she wanted to feel him cum in her.

Moving erratically, his thrusts desperate and his hips forcing her legs even wider apparart, Robin let go, and with her hands on his ass urging him to keep going, he groaned and then started to fill her with his warm seed.

He came hard, his vision blurring and his heart hammering inside his chest. He probably moaned her name but he wasn't sure, all he knew was that the woman felt like pure bliss.

She was just… perfect, that's all he could come up with as she wrapped her legs around him and pressed her lips hard against his mouth.

He didn't reciprocate at first, but when he started to come back into his senses, he pushed his tongue pass her lips and kissed her like it was meant to be.

For a while that was all they did, kiss while still being one. But then as he started to slip out of her, deflated and satiated, he broke awat it and grinned happily.

In an ideal world, this was the moment he told her he loved her and that he would give her all the babies she could possibly want… but this wasn't an ideal world… it was his reality.

She wasn't his… she probably never would be and he couldn't let these stolen moments confuse him into believing otherwise.

That's why pushing his feelings aside, he scoffed and put his friend mask once again.

"Still not bad for a thief, uh?"

She smiled in that way he has come to love so much, her eyes fixed on his. "Not bad for my Royal demands."

Taking on her features, he licked his lips.

God, she was just beautiful and right in that moment she felt so carefree, relax…

"You know, this thing of making babies is quite nice."

"Hmmm," Regina mumbled, the smile still on her lips as her almond shaped eyes fluttered almost shut. That way she looked at him lazily, almost curiously.

For a while Robin just looked back at her and no, his mind refused to believe this was going to be last time he ever got to see her like this.

True, he walked into her house with his mind made up about this being the last time he ever indulged in her… but… technically speaking, as long as he remained in that house… it would count as just one time, right? So what if he just made the best out of it?

If she was willing, he would have her a second time and then it was going to be the way she wanted. Them being friends… nothing more.

"You think so?" She said and if he wasn't mistaken, there was a hint of playfulness in her voice so he was going to try and see how willing she was for round two.

"Yes, and just because I don't want to disappoint, I'm going to give it another try later on… just let me gather my wits here."

Her eyes narrowed even more; he didn't think it was in protest but just in case, he pushed a bit more.

"Now don't look at me like that, I'm not walking out of here without getting you pregnant… or wearing myself out so yes," With that said, he rolled off of her to lay on his back… waiting.

Humming low in her throat, Regina turned on her stomach, resting her head on his chest and for a full second he froze, staring at the top of her head as she snuggled against him.

What could he say? That right there was the last thing he expected… and she probably didn't even know, but with that little gesture, she was making his resolution of not pursuing her crumble.

Just why couldn't this that they were doing be a recurrent thing? Why couldn't they be a family in all sense of the word?

They cared for each other and for their kids, they got along just fine and it was obvious that their union wasn't going to lack passion. So why the bloody hell couldn't they be together as a couple?

Unfortunately, he knew the answer to that. It was simple, they would never be because Regina didn't love him that way.

He was well aware of that, still, he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer… his nose burying into her hair and his skin absorbing her body heat.

Maybe they would never end together, but he still had that moment and he wasn't going to waste it thinking about things he couldn't change.

Now… he wasn't sure how long they remained like that, just that it was long enough for her to doze off and he guessed that at one point he did too.

When he startled back awake later on, they had somehow changed positions and she was on her side, her back to him as he molded to her and it felt so right that he couldn't help but to give into the impulse of placing a kiss into her hair.

She didn't even stir, and enjoying how peaceful she was and how vulnerable she felt, he did it again, this time kissing right behind her ear and then down her jaw.

He didn't necessarily plan what happened next, as his mind was fogged with the last traces of sleep, but as if they had a life of their own, the pad of his fingers began exploring the wonders of her pliant body.

They ran over her hips, they ventured up her ribcage, down her flat stomach and more than once they almost made it over the valley of her breast.

He did it lazily, without any real purpose, but when she moved in her sleep and pushed her ass against his already stiffening cock, his fingers closed hard around her hip.

A bit more alert, Robin sucked in a breath, his senses on edge as she pressed harder against him, her hips moving in such an erotic way that made his need for her soar.

She was doing that on purpose, there was no way she fucking she wasn't and he just knew it.

"You definitely want me to lose my mind, don't you?" Robin growled and then, lowering his face so that he could bite her shoulder softly, he dragged his hand to her breast.

He touched her freely, pinching her nipples into hard peaks as her ass kept grinding against him, teasing… provoking him into action.

That's how his second time that night started. He touched her without hurries, he kissed her until she was breathless and only when he felt her dripping wet for him, he gave her more.

He rolled her over, making her go on top of him as he kept enjoying all of her. Her scent, her taste, how perfect her tits felt in his mouth and her fleshy behind in his hands.

He took his time with her this time because he'll be damned if he rushed this one out and bloody hell, her response to him was enough to make his head get clouded.

Her throaty moans, how her mouth desperately searched for his, her soft whimpers as his lips ran down her neck to worry the tender spot where her pulse was beating...

And as if that wasn't enough to drive him to the edge, he also had the way her hips automatically grinded against his as her hand curved to the back of his neck as she tried to sit up…

It was a whole new experience, way different than the two previous times and nobody could convince him they were doing this just to get her pregnant.

No… it was more than that, so much more…

"Robin-"

She began to say, but before she could go on, he lifted a little and kissed her.

She allowed him to take that liberty, pulling him up until he was sitting; then, without letting the kiss break, she threw her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

Motivated by her closeness and the way her tongue melted against him, Robin ran his hands into her silky hair. Keeping her in place so that he could kiss her long and deep. But he wanted his touch to run all over her… he wanted his hands to memorize all of what she was.

It was for that reason that his fingers went lower, brushing along her spine and then making their way all the way up to her shoulders before dropping them back slowly to her waist.

He repeated the motion, each time venturing a little bit further down; first dwelling on her lower back and then to her hips and at last to her ass, a lone finger sliding between her cheeks and settling against her pucker with the slightest touch.

Was he overstepping? Probably, but she did nothing but tremble in his arms and bury her hands into his hair so he wasn't going to apologize for it.

On then contrary, his teasing touch fired her up and she moved against him, kissing him deeper as she rubbed herself to his cock.

At the contact, Robin groaned into the kiss and pulled her tighter against him. He wanted her, needed her so swirling around so that he was the one on top, he got ready to slide deep into her.

"Robin, wait… we can't do this like this." She breathed out, her eyes wild and her lips parted..

"No? And how do you fancy doing it?" He asked, his voice a raspy bemused whisper that came out in a short breath.

Instead of replying, Regina found his lips again with hers, her tongue searching for his to touch. She only lingered for a short while before tracing a trail of light kisses down to his neck. She kissed and nibbled before opening her mouth to speak.

"That's… not what I mean." She said, closing her eyes and chuckling.

She looked conflicted and he wondered if she was feeling what he was feeling, that this was so much more than what it was supposed to be.

"Regina, look at me." He said, his erection already ready to part his way into her depths.

She did, look at him… her cheeks tingled a healthy rosy-red and her soft brown state deep into his. That way, with their eyes locked, he slid right in.

"Don't think about it… just feel it."

Nodding and swallowing any protest, Regina sighed, so covering her mouth with his once more and starting to move within her, Robin followed the same advise he gave her.

He wasn't going to think about what ifs or about how he felt… no, he was just going to feel because that night, was going to be his night…
