So I absolutely love Evil Charming, I don't care what anyone says! They were so adorable in the 20th episode, and I was devastated that they never kissed! And just saying, Lana Parrillah is so pretty! Anyway, I thought that I'd rewrite episode 20. One shot so far, unless this gets enough hits. Enjoy ;)

I: Lies, Lust and One Dark Plan

The soft chimes of the wine glasses and their light laughter pervaded the dimly lit dining room. Regina radiated a sweet smile and glimpsed at David from above her wine glass, meeting his striking, olive eyes. She clutched the glass flagon in her hand and glanced at the clock. 6:30pm. It was now or never.

Ever since Catherine's return Regina knew that she had to do something, and quick. Snow was free and would no doubt soon be with Prince Charming. Unless she stopped them. Even though David claimed to be with Catherine, she knew that the two lovers couldn't keep their hands of each other. Already she could feel her curse breaking and she'd be damned if she'd let that happen. She had to keep Snow and David apart, and that's when the idea came. Yes, it was ludicrous, it was bizarre, but she knew that it just may work.

She had taken it upon herself to visit Mr. Gold that day. It had taken some persuasion and some blackmailing on her part, (one chipped, porcelain tea cup), but she had successfully retrieved the crimson bottle. The lust potion. Her weapon against Snow White. And she planned to use every drop of it to her advantage.

Right on cue at 5:00pm David had emerged from the store, just after Regina's car 'accidentally' broke down. Like the gentlemen he was she knew that he would help her, and sure enough he did. Before he knew it they were at her mansion, drinking, dining, talking, laughing...and soon she would have Snow White's dear, broken heart.

" Let me fill that up for you," Regina said lightly, standing up as she collected his glass.

David quickly stood up, trying to retrieve the glass. " No Regina, that's fine-"

" Please," Regina replied with a cloying smile. " I insist."

David stifled a disbelieving laugh as he let her collect the glass. He could barely believe that he was dining with Regina-he knew that Snow and Emma loathed her-but somehow he saw so much more in her than they did. He was always one to believe that everyone had both light and dark inside of them, and he believed that Regina just tended to display her dark side more. After all, she was just a lonely mother who loved her son dearly, but felt like she was slowly loosing him.

" Here, let me get the dishes, it's the least I can do" he responded as he began to collect the plates. " Please," he said, cutting off Regina's objection. " I insist."

Regina let out a small laugh before she walked into the kitchen. She took her time at finding the bottle of wine, she waited for him to leave before she poured. Once he was seated Regina opened the lid of the flask, she licked her lips as her eyes grew with anticipation. Slowly she poured the scarlet liquid into his glass, watching the wine bubble and the smoke emit until it came to a stop. She fluffed up her hair and reapplied a coat of lipstick, smiling at the mirror.

" There you are dear," she said, emerging from the kitchen before she handed him the glass.

" Thank you," David replied, bowing his head in a gesture of gratitude.

Regina took her seat and rested her chin on her hands as she watched him intently. A small smile graced her lips as he drained the glass.

" This is something," David said, referring to the wine.

" Indeed," Regina said, her eye flickering towards the clock. 6:40pm. " I might just get another glass," she said, standing up.

Regina made her way to the kitchen before her high heels gave way to her, she wobbled and soon fell. She dropped the glass and quickly tried to break her fall with her hand, letting it collided onto the shattered glass. Regina swore under her breath as she lifted up her trembling hand to examine the damage. Two bloodied cuts were slashed down the palm of her hand, and a few pieces of glass dug into her skin, but other than that her hand was fine. In a flash David was at her side, helping her to her feet.

" Thank you David, I'm fine, really" she said, still wincing at the pain.

" That's a nasty cut," he said, delicately taking her hand and examining it. " Do you have a first aid kit?"

Regina nodded. " Yes, in the kitchen."

She led David into the kitchen and opened the cupboard with her good hand, retrieving the white case. Regina sat on the kitchen bench as he ran her hand under the cold water before he began to pick the glass out with the tweezers. Regina gasped, wincing at the stinging pain. David's eyes softened.

" This isn't going to be easy. You know," he said, hoping to distract her from the pain. "After all this time no ones ever told me the story."

Regina raised an eyebrow, but smiled, amused at his attempt of distraction. She knew where this was going, and could not pass this golden opportunity.

" What story?"

" About how you found me."

Regina grimaced as he pulled another shard of glass out, before she replied with a playful smile, " Oh well, that's because I'm the only one who knows." She peered at him from above her eyelashes, and knew that he wanted to know. Regina thought long and hard for a story before she slowly began. " I was working late. It was a cold night, and on my drive home I realised I left my phone at the office. I told myself it wasn't important. But I-," she paused, swallowing. " Something inside me told me to turn around and go back."

She took in a sharp breath and shut her eyes as another piece was pulled out.

"And that's when you saw me?"

Regina smiled slightly. " You were on the side of the road, so cold and unconscious . The doctor said that if I had arrived ten minutes later, you would have froze to death. It's amazing, isn't it? If I hadn't forgotten my phone, I wouldn't have been on the road...at that time."

Regina winced just as she finished. David gave her another apologetic look. " That was the last of it. And yes...it is amazing."

Regina inspected him with narrow eyes, why wasn't the potion working yet?

David could barely believe her story. It seemed absurd that she had found him that night: there was no doubt in his mind that he had exceptional luck. Yet he couldn't ignore the feeling pestering in the back of his mind. It was as if...as if...

" It was as if the universe wanted you to find me," he whispered, looking back up at her.

And then Regina saw it. His eyes met hers briefly before his breath quickened: they slid down her features, slowly drinking in her curvy figure. Lust and desire were burning in his eyes. She had him.

The corner of her lips tugged into a smirk as she slinked off the bench, as his eyes met hers. He tucked a strand of her ebony hair behind her ear, puzzlement briefly passing his eyes. All the memories and feelings of Mary and Catherine erased as he stared at her. He felt as if he was looking at her for the first time, and she really was beautiful.

Regina casted a final glance at the clock. 7:00pm. She looked back at David and to her delight it was still there. The lust in his eyes, the desire that was stirring inside of him.

Taking a reluctant step forward she leaned in and brushed her lips against his. Immediately she felt him respond: their kiss was soft at first but grew rough and feverish as David deepened the kiss in a heated passion. Regina gasped as David pushed her up against the edge of the bench, pressing his body up against hers she wrapped her leg around his waist, pulling him in closer. He hungrily bit her lip as their tongues crashed in a heated frenzy. His lips trailed down her jaw and to her collarbone, where his lips attacked her neck, causing an erotic moan to escape her lips. Regina hurriedly undid his buttons as their lips crashed again, her hands sliding down his shoulders before they explored his torso, his hands entwining through her hair.

" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

They both pulled back, panting. Regina blinked before she licked her lips as she tried to hide her triumphant smile. " Ms Swan," she said, turning to the Sherif. " Might I ask why you are here?"

Emma's eyes lit with fury as Henry trailed behind her, his eyes wide with horror. " I might ask you the same question," she said to David through gritted teeth.

Regina raised her eyebrows as she slid from the bench. " Ms Swan, what me and Mr. Nolan do is our business."

" Bullshit!" Emma exclaimed, knocking the vase over with her hand. She ignored it, turning to a stunned David, who was wiping the smudge of lipstick off the corner of his mouth. " What are you doing with her? What about Catherine?" Emma paused, deciding not to mention Snow's name, but she knew that he got the message. "You know this is going to break her heart."

David shut his eyes as it hit him like a crashing wave. Catherine...Mary. " Please Emma," he said, desperation clinging onto his voice. " I-I don't know what I was thinking, I-"

" That's just it. You weren't thinking." Emma shut her eyes. She could still barely believe what was going on.

" I never meant to hurt her," David whispered. " Please don't tell her."

Henry was looking at the two wildly as the realisation sunk in.

" You did this!" he shouted at Regina. " Why do you keep on trying to ruin their relationship, because in the end it won't work!"

Henry gave his mother an angry glare before he ran off. Emma pursed her lips, her eyes murdering Regina.

" Are you happy now?"

Regina lowered her eyes in what she assumed would look like remorse before she looked back up at Emma: her eyes never left hers as she spoke, " David, could you leave me and the Sherif alone? I need to have a word with her."

David numbly nodded before he left, pausing at the door he turned to Emma. " Please, don't tell her," he whispered, before walking out into the night.

Emma ignored his comment as Regina slowly walked towards her, so that they were face to face.

" Ms Swan, surely you know that every man has his needs. I was merely-"

" Ruining their lives, like you always do? Don't bullshit me Regina." Emma paused, as the realisation dawned to her. " Funny, that me and Henry were to walk in here, just as you two were," she casted her a disgusted glance. " Making out. Funny that you two were doing that, at precisely seven o'clock. The same time I come by to drop Henry off."

Regina raised an eyebrow. " Are you implying something dear?"

" That's exactly what I'm doing," she seethed, her eyes narrowing at the Mayor. " I know David would never purposely hurt Mary and I know you seduced him. I don't know how, but I will find out."

Regina eyes widened, taken back at her comment. She took a deep breath before exhaling, composing herself once more. "Ms Swan, I am going to ask you to leave, before I charge you with unlawful damage to private property."

She glanced at the shattered vase before she looked back up at Emma. Emma knew it was pointless, after all she couldn't do much to help Mary Blanchard now.

" Fine, but keep this in mind," she pointed a finger to her, her eyes narrowed with rage. " You stay out of David's life, and out of Mary's life, and if you ever try to ruin their happiness again, god help me I will not rest until yours is ruined too."

She gave her another icy glare before storming out. Regina walked over to the bench and poured herself a glass of wine before taking a sip. Her lips curled into a smile, half amused at Emma's threat, and half satisfied with the way tonight had played out. Oh Emma, she thought cruelly. If only you knew that this was just the beginning.
