The Light in the Dark Kingdom

One Full Glass

They walked into his house, and he flicked on the lights, guiding Eilonwy into the kitchen, "What would you like for dinner?" He asked her as he grabbed two wine glasses from the upper cabinet to fix the drinks.

"I'm actually not that hungry," she told him honestly as he handed her a glass, "To us?" She said as she lifted the glass into the air. He lightly tapped his glass against it, nodding before they both took a sip, "You were very brave to stand up to Pan," she said with a smile tugging at her lips as she took another sip from her glass, "Would you mind if I stayed here with you?" She asked hesitantly as she placed her glass on the counter, "Its not the same at my old place. Taran won't even talk to me and Fflewddur is never around."

He placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled, "You are more than welcomed to stay here for as long as you need, dearie."

"Thank you," she smiled to him gently, leaning forward and pressing her lips against him before pouring more wine to the top of both of their glasses.

She took a sip and smirked at him as she slid out of the chair. She took his hand and guided him towards his bedroom. Without saying a word, she dimmed the lights in the bathroom and ran the water into the large jacuzzi bath. She placed her drink on the counter and casually took his from his hand, placing it beside hers. She took a deep breath and tilted her chin up to look at him as her hands moved to hold his chest firmly, "We deserve to relax," she told him with a smirk and pulled her jacket off of her shoulders.

She wrapped her arms around him and he looked down at her, "You are so beautiful," he told her happily, "How did I ever get so lucky?"

She smiled at him and his hands quickly moved to pull off her top, tossing it onto the ground, allowing his hands to hold her bare waist. He pulled off his coat and placed it gently on the bathroom cabinet. She stepped out of her bottoms and moved to check the water temperature as Gold undressed himself. She walked over to the man dressed only in his underwear and ran her hands down his chest. He unclipped her bra and tossed it onto the ground, moving his hands down her back until they rested over her underwear. She stepped out of them, leaving them on the floor before moving back towards the tub. Gold pulled off his briefs and took the wine glasses in his hands before following her, stepping into the tub.

He sat down, leaning his back against the side of the tub, and the girl moved to sit in his lap. She took her wine glass and leaned against him as one of his hands roamed her body. He turned the jets on and placed his glass at the side of the tub, turning Eilonwy's chin to look at him. She held her glass over the water and kissed him as he let his hands roam freely beneath the warm water.

After finishing their wine, they stepped out of the tub. Taking two towels out of the cabinet, Gold wrapped it around her shoulders, their wet hair sat heavy on their heads. He attempted to dry his hair with the towel, then wrapped it around his waist, pulling the beautiful woman against him.

There was a loud knock on the front door as the girl pulled him into a kiss, their hands wrapped around one another, "Someone's at the door," he told the woman between the kisses as they moved together towards the bed.

"We're busy," the girl told him with a slight smile as they approached the bed. Hearing the knock repeat louder.

"The front door is unlocked and our bedroom door is wide open," Gold told her as he slightly pulled away.

"Our bedroom?" She smiled at him and searched his friendly eyes.

A slight smile pulled at his lips and he moved to grab a pair of trousers from the closet, pulling them over him before yanking a dress shirt over his head and fighting to button the buttons. Eilonwy smiled and watched him as she removed the towel and climbed into his large bed, "try to make it quick?" He nodded once and exited the room, closing the door behind him. 

He adjusted his pants as he moved down the hall and checked the buttons on his shirt. He passed through the kitchen, running his hand through his wet hair before stepping in front of the door. He opened the large wooden door to see Belle standing in the doorstep, looking as beautiful as ever, "Belle?" He asked quietly as his eyes looked over her, "What are you doing here?"

"I've missed you," she said to him with a smirk as she stepped inside, "before you left, you told me that I was always welcomed to stop by."

"This may not be the best time," he told her nervously as she ran her hand over his chest. She searched his nervous eyes for a moment and he was confused as she pulled herself against him, pressing her lips against his. Rumple's hands remained at his side, and his kiss was that of a husband cheating on his wife for the first time, hesitant in every motion.

"I can't help myself," she said to him with daring eyes, "I'll be at the library, you know where to find me."

He didn't respond, but she moved to turn away as they both heard the bedroom door swing open, "Gold?" Eilonwy called from the back of the house, wrapped in one of his towels as she slowly entered the kitchen to fill her wine glass. She met Belle's eyes and watched them fall to look at the towel, "Belle, hi," Eilonwy said a bit forcefully with a smile as she tucked herself beneath Rumple's arm, sipping her drink, "What are you doing here?" She asked as she looked over the girl's stunning outfit.

"I was just stopping by to deliver a message," she lied, and her fake smile quickly began to fall as she met Gold's eyes once more, "But I was just leaving." Eilonwy smiled as her eyes focused on the girl.

"Goodnight," Eilonwy called as she stepped onto the porch. As Belle glanced back to meet Mr. Gold's eyes, Eilonwy turned to him, holding her wine glass in the air as she pressed herself against him. In one fluid motion, pressing her lips against his and shutting the door.
