They had barely slept last night, but neither of them cared. Regina had made good on her promise of waking him up - even if it was before the half hour set - and Robin had made good on his promise to make love to her all night. He had whispered sweet nothings into her ear and he had caressed her body as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.
It had been one of the best nights of their lives.
Regina couldn't believe her luck; she was being held in the arms of a man who loved her and cared for her, and it was perfect.
And Regina had opened up to him. She had confessed that she had loved him, and she felt no regret having done so.
Especially now that Robin was sleeping peacefully as he used her chest as a pillow; his head residing over her heart his arms wrapped around her waist. His warm breath over her skin sent shivers all through her, and she brought a hand up to smooth his unruly hair.
Robin sighed and snuggled into her further making Regina smile, she was happy. The moment was right, beautiful, and after a long time of having nothing in her life, she had finally found something to live for. This thief and his son made her happy. More happy than she cared to admit.
Regina shifted down the bed a little until she was in the position to pepper light kisses on his face until he moved so he could capture her lips, lovingly kissing her.
Robin moaned and opened his mouth immediately while he manoeuvred himself so he could align their bodies, pulling Regina closer.
"Good morning my love, did you sleep well?" Robin asked with a knowing smirk.
"The right question, thief, is 'did you sleep at all?'" Regina teased. "And we both know the answer to that is 'no', Don't we?"
Not that Regina was complaining about it . On the contrary; she had loved last night. And wouldn't mind a repeat.
"Hm, are you in for another round?" Robin asked as he moved on top of her, dragging his lips down her neck.
"Really? Do you have the strength for more?" Regina mocked.
''What can I say?" Robin murmured into her skin, "I'm full of stamina."
Robin grinned at her, while his lips and teeth and tongue were making marks lower and lower down her body.
Regina closed her eyes in contentment and let herself feel loved once more.
Later that afternoon, Regina was in her room with a big smile on her face trying to decide which dress to wear to dinner. After spending half an hour in the shower and a further half hour dressing and styling her hair, Regina was ready to leave her room and fulfil her promise to take Roland to dinner.
However, the sound of heels walking behind her stopped her from taking a further step. Regina turned around with a fireball in hand, but the flames extinguished when surprise overtook her; why was she here?
"Hello sis... Going somewhere?"
Zelena paced around a little, Regina's eyes following her as she walked around and picked faults with everything she could see; 'this is too dirty' or 'that jewel's not big enough' or 'did you really wear that?'
"What do you want Zelena?" Regina snapped at her, fed up with listening to Zelena's superiority complex.
"What, no 'Hello'? Don't be rude sis; where are your manners?" Zelena turned to Regina, "now I understand why you were the child who was the disappointment."
"Well you were the child that didn't want." Regina retorted with an eyebrow raised, enjoying the flash of anger crossing Zelena's face before her expression was schooled into something less easy to read.
