Finding You

Chapter Six

"It only took a month." Regina whispers as she traces patterns on his chest.

"It only took a month for me to fall in love with you." Robin says as he rubs her bare shoulder.

Regina looks up at him and smiles. Robin laces his fingers in her hair and plays with the black strands. Robin leans down and kisses her softly. Regina giggles as she pulls away.

"Why are you laughing?" Robin says with a little chuckle.

"I never thought I would find love again and now I have you. You're my everything, Robin." Regina says and Robin smiles.

"I love you so much, sweetie." Robin says and Regina smiles. "I have to go back so Riley doesn't realize I left."

"No, stay with me and cuddle." Regina whines and Robin chuckles.

"Can I at least get dressed?" Robin says and Regina shakes her head.

"I like you better without clothes on." Regina says as she presses herself closer to his bare body.

"You look like a goddess without your clothes." Robin says and Regina laughs.

"Thank you and I really did enjoy last night even if I didn't get much sleep." Regina says and Robin chuckles as he holds her tighter.

"Last night was amazing. Now, what are we going to do today?" Robin asks and Regina shrugs.

"We could leave Riley here and go out on an adventure together." Regina says and Robin nods.

"That sounds like a beautiful plan my love." Robin says as he kisses her nose.

"I'll get dressed and I'll meet you back here." Robin says as he gets up from the bed. Regina watches as he gets dressed and lets out a sigh. Robin turns and looks at her with a questioning glare.

"I'm going to miss you while you're gone." Regina whines snd Robin sits next to her in bed.

"I won't be long my love. I'll be right down the hall." Robin says as he holds her cheek.

"I'll still miss you." Regina says and Robin kisses her softly.

"I know." Robin says before he leaves her room.

Regina stretches her arms above her head and yawns. She clutches the pillow that Robin has slept on and smells his pine scent. She smiles just thinking about him and what happened last night. They made love and her heart swell just thinking about it. It was amazing and he was so gentle with her, unlike previous relationships.

Regina sighs as a tear escapes her eye. She wipes it away quickly and buries her face in Robin's pillow. She can't think about them today. It will ruin her plans with her lover. As skillfully as she can manage she buries her feelings deep inside her.

After a few minutes she gets up and wraps her body in her robe. She walks over to her wardrobe and opens it with a flick of her hand. She looks over all of her dark outfits and picks the one that is suitable for traveling. She waves her hand and is now fully dressed.

"I think you should change." Robin says as he approaches her.

"Why? What's wrong with this?" She asks him as she turns around to face him.

"It's dark and gloomy. I think you should wear something different for a change." Robin says and Regina sighs.

Regina waves her hand and is dressed in a red velvet dress with a matching cape draped over her shoulder. There's a diamond belt around her waist and a matching one around her decent neckline. Robin's breath hitches as he stares at her red lips and gorgeous curled hair.

"Damn..." Robin mumbles as he looks at her.

"Is this better?" Regina asks as she motions to the new dress.

Robin doesn't answer and it scares her a little bit. He lunges and wraps his arms around her waist and presses his lips against hers. Regina's a little surprised but kisses him back. Robin breaks the kiss and smiles at her.

"You look so sexy." Robin says as he clutches her hips.

"Thank you." Regina says as she gives him a quick kiss. "Now, let's go!" Regina exclaims as she drags him out her room.

"This is fun!" Regina says as she runs down the hill with Robin next to her.

"You are so beautiful." Robin says as he stops running.

"You keep saying that Robin." Regina says as she walks into his embrace.

"I keep saying it because it's true my queen." He says and Regina giggles. "I love you."

"I lov-" Her words are cut off when Robin pushes her and he falls to the ground.

She kneels next to him and sees the arrow embedded in his chest. She looks around confused as to who would shoot the love of her life. Her eyes lock on to Snow White and her army behind her. She glares at them before she looks down at Robin.

"Robin, can you hear me?" She asks frantically and he nods.

"They were going to hit you." Robin says with his voice strained. "I couldn't let them hit you."

"No, I can't live without you. You have to be okay!" Regina yells as tears pour down her eyes.

"Regina, I love you." Robin whispers before his eyes slowly close.

"I love you too!" She screams for the first time as she clutches his body.

Regina feels someone grab her by her waist and ties her hands. She turns around to see one of Snow's allies. Regina cries as she feels a cuff being placed on her arm. As she's being dragged away she can't help but stare at his body. His pale face is the last thing she sees as her vision fades into darkness.
