The next morning arrived with the typical celebrations of Mary Margaret and her best friends, sharing old stories and how she met David. Who called the other first. Who kissed who first.

"May our friendship endure," Regina said as she gave Mary Margaret a bracelet.

"I will always treasure our friendship, along with the bracelet," Mary Margaret said as she hugged her.

"Now for mine," Belle said as she gave her a box that had a pair of pearl earrings in them.

R"They're beautiful, thank you so much Belle," Mary Margaret said as she hugged her as well.

"Last but not least," Cindy said as she gave her something borrowed, "A penny for luck."

Mary Margaret put it in her shoe as the women kept talking around her.

"Regina, you look beautiful," Mary Margaret said.

"Thank you, but the bride is the showstopper," Regina said.

"So you and Robin?" Mary Margaret whispered.

Regina snapped her head at her friend, eyes widening, "Did we..."

"No, no one heard, but the look on your face was very telling," Mary Margaret said.

Regina groaned at the knowledge that others knew, "This is just so...new for me."

"I'm so happy you have the possibility of someone very special in your life. You deserve it after how hard you have worked," Mary Margaret said.

"We're not, I mean...I don't know what we are," Regina said.

"He's kind of cute isn't he?" Mary Margaret said with a smile.

"More than cute, even if he smells like forest," Regina said.

"Sometimes, having the scent of forest on you, is worth it," Mary Margaret said with a wink.

Meanwhile, David and his friends were in the men's dressing room, putting on their tuxedoes, sharing drinks and cigars.

"So why are we here again?" Jefferson asked as he finished dressing.

"To see David get married," Phillip reminded him.

"I meant here in Canada," Jefferson said.

"I met Mary Margaret here," David said, "I was on a hunting trip with some others when we ran into Mary Margaret and some others here, she...she stole my heart that day."

Jefferson and Robin looked at one another, Robin shook his head and said, "Don't even think-"

Jefferson bear hugged Robin, "Oh, Robin, that was so sweet."

"Alright, alright, enough of that," Robin said as the two men laughed.

"Okay, you smart asses," David said as he smacked them on their backs.

"Gentlemen, if I may?" Jefferson asked as he handed them all a glass of champagne. "To our friend, may he be very happy as one of the first to tie the knot of the four horsemen."

"Salute!" the men all chimed in.

"I just have to wonder who will be next to put on the shackle in our group," Jefferson said as he looked over at Robin.

"Oh? And who do have in mind?" David asked.

Robin rolled his eyes as he saw that Phillip was looking at him as well. "Really? Robin?"

"After the look a certain lady had last night at the dinner table," Jefferson said.

"I must have missed this," David said, "care to continue?"

"Gladly," Jefferson said, as he walked up slowly to stand inches away from Robin. "I happen to witness, a certain brunette who looked well...satisfied after dinner."

"Jealous?" Robin asked.

"Immensely," Jefferson answered truthfully.

"So what exactly happened last night?" David asked.

"Let's just say, that Regina was well...satisfied at dinner," Jefferson said.

Robin smirked as he turned and walked outside, "What? No details?" Jefferson called out.

"A thief never pleases and tells," Robin answered as he walked towards the windows to look outside.

Half an hour later, the string quarter's music started to play as the officiant and the groomsmen entered. David and his groomsmen were all standing up at the altar waiting on the bridesmaids to come down the aisle. David leaned back to whisper to Robin, "Just think, you'll be the one up here soon."

Robin just chuckled at his friend's words as his mind went to Regina. He had sent her a quick message this morning, and hadn't wanted to bother her much as he knew she would be extra busy this morning.

Moments later the music announced the arrival of the bridesmaids, then Mary Margaret with her father. As Regina had walked up to her spot, Robin had sought her out and gave her a sly wink as she stepped into her place. As the wedding began, Regina felt her mind stray. Her gaze drifted to Robin, standing by with the ring and to catch David if he fainted. He looked so calm, so natural, compared to David, who'd started to sweat and could barely make it through his vows his voice was shaking so badly. Of course, Robin wasn't the one getting married.

She imagined he'd still be calm at his own wedding. Even if he felt nervous, he'd fall back on the confident man that he was evidently born to be. He'd speak the words to her without faltering, with nothing but love and adoration on his face an in his voice as he looked down into her eyes.

Oh, no! She stopped herself. Regina might be in the midst of a lusty haze, but she wasn't letting herself go there. She wasn't a naive girl who thought the man who had given her the best orgasm of her life last night, at dinner, would love her forever and marry her and they'd live happily ever after. She knew the truth and she'd accepted it, despite the ridiculous tangent her brain had taken. After this weekend, they would probably never speak again, and he wouldn't be looking adoringly at her and speaking vows of any kind, ever.

With a sigh, Regina let her gaze drop from his and she pretended to be listening to the ceremony. Maybe it was a good time that their time together was coming to an end. Keeping her heart out of the arrangement with Robin was getting harder and harder.

He needed to get back on that plane and leave, before she lost the fight.

Robin couldn't wait for the ceremony and all the pictures to be over so he could hold Regina in his arms again. She'd hovered on the fringes during the photo shoot, watching with adoration in her eyes, as she was instructed.

He'd had several people ask him about Regina, men. And he couldn't help boasting how smart and talented and beautiful she was.

It was all true.

He had also told them, she was taken!

Finally the pictures were over, and save for his toast at the reception, he was done for the night. The wedding party finally made their way over to the ballroom and took their places to welcome the happy couple and witness their first dance. That done, they were allowed to take their seats, eat their dinner and finally relax. The round of toasts was completed during the salad of course, effectively allowing Robin to be off duty for the rest of the night. Weddings were exhausting, almost a bigger problem than they were worth.

"You look amazing," he leaned in and said to Regina when the wedding cake was served. Robin wasn't interested in desert. Not this kind of anyways. He had a hard time tearing his eyes away from the exposed line of her neck and shoulders. He ached to run his fingertips along her bare skin and leave a line of kisses in its wake.

Regina smiled at his assessment, her cheeks blushing adorably, "Thank you. You're looking pretty dapper yourself."

"Meh." He dismissed it. He wasn't interested in talking about himself tonight. He wanted the focus to be on her. "I can't wait to get you on the dance floor and show you off to everyone. I'm going to hold you close and we'll just lose ourselves in the music. Nothing fancy, just dance floor foreplay."

"Foreplay?" Her ached brow raised curiously.

"Oh, absolutely," Robin said, as he knew a lot of guys didn't like to dance, but those guys were damn fools. If they only knew how a good slow dance could prime the pumps, they'd all sign up for ballroom dancing lessons.

As if on cue, the bandleader invited the whole wedding party out on the dance floor, "Here's our chance."

Regina took his hand and let him lead her out on the dance floor. The song was slow and romantic, allowing him to take advantage of the moment. He slipped his arms around her waist, pulling her close as the song continued,

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.

She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.

And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"

And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.

And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"

And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see

The love light in your eyes.

And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,

So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.

And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,

I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.

Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

"Oh my darling, you were wonderful..." Robin sung the last few words into her ear, "tonight."

Regina felt goosebumps all over her body, as the sensation of being in his arms, and feeling his warm breath on her ear, melted her.

"And to think, it was our phones who brought up together. And all very much worth the price for bringing you into my life," Robin said. His words were bold, he surprised himself with the intensity of them, but it had felt right at the moment. As this day had gone on, he realized that he just couldn't let this go when he returned home. He didn't know how they could manage it or if it would work at all, but he wanted to try. He would be a fool to let such a sweet, caring woman drift out of his life.

The moment was perfect, like one carefully crafted by some incredible author. The lighting was dim with the occasional beam dancing across them. The music was slow and seductive, their bodies moving in time with it. Every inch of her soft curves was pressed against him. When she laid her head on his shoulder, it was as if the world around them had ceased to exist. The wedding guests, photographers...all of it felt as if it was suddenly a million miles away and they were dancing all alone.

Her touch made his skin prickle with sensations, but none could come close to the lightness inside him. With Regina in his arms, he felt as if he could do anything. He could have everything he wanted in life, including her. It had only been a day or so, but he had Regina to thank for opening his eyes to the possibilities.

The song came to an end and Robin could feel the spell drift away with the last notes. This night could only be more perfect with Regina in his bed. He wanted to get out of here with her before something interfered.

"Regina," Robin said softly, as he raised his hand to her face, letting his thumb trace her lips, before pressing slightly down on her bottom lip, "Do you want to go to my room with me?"

(A/N-Okay I know I ended on another cliffhanger, but I've got a few projects going on as you can tell. I sometimes hit a wall with one fic, so I move on to another one. If I keep going through all those I'm working on, sometimes it helps that wall from appearing. Sometimes. Anyways, I've got a twitter account just for my fics and such. Not the show. If you would like to follow, its atMyFicsAndMore. I post sneaks, and upcoming projects plus when I update fics.

Have a great Day/Night/Evening.
