She leaned back and watched in pleasure as he finished his second helping, "how did you like it?".

David wiped his mouth with one of her cloth napkins before answering, "best lasagna I've ever had!" he wiped his hands and nodded in approval, "you really know how to work some magic," he smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him not catching the irony of his last comment. She did, however, and she smiled knowingly and moved her eyes toward the table full of dishes.

"Here," David stood up and began to gather the dishes, "let me get the dishes.".

"Oh no David!" she moved to get up and help but he quickly stopped her.

"No, no, no, no, no, it's the least I can do," he smiled and moved to pick up her plate.

Regina laughed playfully, "you saved me from having to call a tow truck today and now you're doing my dishes," she looked up at him with a smile, "doesn't seem right.".

David smiled in return and began to walk to the kitchen with Regina close behind, "please the last couple weeks haven't been exactly easy for me and you've been there the whole time.".

"Oh well I can't help it, I feel responsible for you," she spoke in a soft and caring tone, like a mother to a child with a small injury. She followed him to the sink and leaned her back against the counter, "ever since I," she paused and cocked her head slightly, "found you.".

She kept her eyes on him and her expression soft as she watched him move. Everything was going precisely as she had planned and soon she would have Snow White's happiness on a platter.

"You know after all this time, no one's ever told me the story," he questioned as he wiped his hands on a dish cloth and then tossed it back down as he turned to watch Regina.

"What story," she cocked her head sideways in an attempt to seem as though she didn't know what story he was referring to.

"About how you found me," he responded as he rested himself against the counter slightly across from Regina.

She let a smile play on her lips before she answered shyly, "that's probably because I'm the only one who knows it," she turned her chin down and her smile grew. She watched David as his face mirrored a smile as he waited to listen with his arms folded over his chest.

Regina let out a small laugh before she began. She leaned forward slightly, resting her left hand on the counter top beside David, "I was working late. It was a cold night, must've been ten below, and on my drive home I realized I left my phone at the office," she paused to watch David's face which was hanging off her every word. "I remember thinking just to forget about it and that I didn't really need it," she continued, "but something inside me told me to turn around and go back," her smile disappeared as she reached the end of the story.

"And that's when you saw me?" David asked as he unfolded his arms and waited for her answer. Her dark eyes were soft and quiet which was a pleasant alternative to their regular harsh and threatening appearance. He found himself lost in them as she spoke.

"You were on the side of the road. So cold you felt like ice." Regina moved her head in shakes and nods as she spoke. "The doctor said if I had found you ten minutes later it would've been too late," she watched him as he lowered his eyes. "It's amazing isn't it? If I hadn't have forgotten my phone I wouldn't have been on the road at that time," she finished the story and watched him carefully waiting for the right time to finish him off.

David kept his eyes down as he nodded, "it's almost..." he looked up in to her eyes and was lost in the once again, "almost like the universe wanted you to find me.".

She had never thought of it like that. It caught her a little off guard and she felt almost touched at his words. Quickly she remembered the reason for bringing him here and couldn't think of a better time to catch her prey.

David watched as Regina's face worked on how to respond to his words. It made him smile slightly, seeing the strong mayor suddenly seem so small and, well, human for a change. He couldn't get over her dark eyes that seemed to suck him in as if he were hypnotized and those red lips...

Regina noted that he was staring at her but did not change her expression so as not to bring him back from it. She parted her lips slightly and stepped forward bringing her left hand up to his arm.

David watched as she moved closer but he didn't clue in to what was happening until she captured his lips in hers and by then there was no where for him to go. He felt her body pressed up against him and his back pressed against the counter and then to his surprise he found his mouth responding to Regina's soft lips.

Regina smiled through the kiss as she felt him responding. She got him. Then she felt his hands move over her back and hold her at her waist. She brought her left hand up to his face and kept her right hand down for she still had her wine glass.

"Regina," David whispered through a momentary break in the kiss. It didn't come across how he had wanted it to though and he scorned himself silently. "Regina!" this time he said it louder and pushed her away. They both stood with confusion in their eyes as they watched each other.

"I-I'm sorry I hope you didn't get the wrong idea," David tried to get his mouth in order but the taste of Regina's lips still lingered on his.

"No," Regina shook her head and looked down, "no I'm sorry. I just got caught up in a moment.".

David shook his head, "you don't have to apologize. I just-we...this is great as it is."

Regina smiled with a twinge of defeat but then she felt something on her hips. She looked down to find David's hands hadn't moved and she grinned slightly. She looked back up at him and found the conflicted look in his eyes. She stood for a moment in the tight grip of his large hands waiting for him to make a decision. When he didn't move she cleared her throat to grab his attention and smiled and lifted her eyebrows when his eyes met hers. Then she saw his decision flash quickly over his eyes and she grinned.

David pulled her in to him as he walked forward and pushed her against the counter. His lips pushed against hers as he felt her sharply inhale and return his kiss with fire.

She placed her glass on the counter and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself in to him. She was barely aware of his hands moving down to her thighs as her breathing became heavy and limited as they deepened kiss. To her pleasure she felt his grip tighten and he lifted her so she was sitting on the counter top and he was standing in between her legs. Her blue dress lifted dangerously high as she lifted her right leg and wrapped it around David's waist. She ran her fingers through his hair and pulled his head in closer. Who knew Prince Charming could be so far from charming.

He could feel the heel of her stiletto dig in to the back of his thigh and he moved his hand up her smooth leg from her ankle over her calf and up her thigh stopping just when his fingers were under the hem of her dress. The passion and fire in her kiss brought out the newly discovered fire within him. He didn't know where it came from but he liked how she was able to bring it out.

He bit her bottom lip and pulled until it slipped through his teeth and he moved down and began kissing her neck. Her scent was intoxicating and he could feel her chest heaving and her heart beating erratically.

She pushed her head back exposing her neck for him and she grinned triumphantly. Oh she had him oh she had him so deep in her grasp. She breathed out a laugh and took his head in her hands and pulled him in to her. She quickly deepened the kiss and felt no hesitation on his part which caused her heart to flutter unexpectedly. She ignores it now but it will come back when he's gone and she has nothing else to do.

David tangles his hands in the mayors perfectly fallen dark hair and he feels her delicate hands move over his neck and shoulders as she pulls his plaid flannel shirt off his shoulders.

He lets go for an instant to let the shirt fall to the ground before he has his hands in her hair again and pushed her head against the cupboard door above her counter. As he continues to kiss her she wastes no time in finding the bottom of his grey t-shirt and pulling it up. He again breaks the contact between them and pulls his shirt over his head.

Regina grinned at his perfectly muscled arms and torso and found it hard to breathe. She laughed deviously and placed her hands on his hard chest as she leaned in and kissed him hard.

David smiled through the kiss at Regina's approval and moved his hands up between her shoulder blades. He found the zipper and slowly pulled it down as Regina arched her back in to his body giving him her full permission. The zipper ended at the base of her back and David let his hands wander back up her bare skin.

His touch sent shivers up her spine and her lungs screamed for air as he pulled her dress off her arms.

David pulled away momentarily to take in the sight. The always so perfectly put together mayor was sitting in front of him now in a completely different light. Her hair was messy and out of place, her perfectly applied lipstick was smeared all over her mouth, and her dress was bundled around her waist. Her bra was black with a detailed layer of blood red lace over top and her soft skin was exposed to his hungry eyes. She has never been as beautiful to him as she was now. He looked back up to her face and grinned at her seductive eyes and playful smile as she hugged him with her leg a little tighter.

David leaned in and kissed her and with little effort he picked her up off the counter and began to walk out of the kitchen Regina squealed at his actions and they both laughed as he made his way out of the kitchen.

She wrapped her legs around his torso and her arms around his neck as they blindly navigated her home neither one wanting to break the kiss. As they turned the corner Regina's back collided with something and she didn't think anything of it until it spoke.

"Whoa! Oh my god!" Emma looked down and shielded her eyes with her hand.

Regina and David immediately pulled away and let go of each other. Regina stumbled slightly as she fell to the floor in her heels, "Miss Swan!" she half yelped in a panic before she could gather her composure, "wha-wha-what are you doing here?!" she stumbled over her words as she tried to dress herself.

Emma shook her head, "I was, god! I came to drop off Henry! He's um, he's uh upstairs but I thought I'd let you know that I dropped him off and, and, I am so sorry!" she kept her eyes down on the floor with her hand covering as well.

Regina finished zipping her zipper and ran her fingers through her hair, "knocking Miss Swan. Heard of it?" she spoke in her controlled and critical tone again.

"Henry ran in first I guess he figured he didn't need to knock seeing as it was his house," she shook her head, "I called for you when I came in the door but I guess you were a little...distracted," she motioned toward her and her activity.

Regina rolled her eyes as she attempted to wipe the smeared lipstick with her thumb, "you can look at me Miss Swan," she put her hands on her hips and allowed clear displeasure to be shown on her face.

Emma looked up through her fingers before she breathed out and dropped her hand to her side. She looked at the mayor and gave her an apologetic smile, "I am so sorry!" and then she looked up to the man standing behind her, "David? David what the hell!?"

David shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth to speak but had no words so he closed it and let his hands fall to his side.

Regina looked down and to her side listening for David's words but when none came out she turned her attention back to Emma and enjoyed the flabbergasted look on her face.

She stepped forward, "Miss Swan, thank you for bringing Henry home but I think it's time for you to go," she looked to the door and then back to Emma.

Emma looked at her and saw the triumph dancing in her eyes and it infuriated her. She tightened her jaw and balled her fists in an effort not to hit her. She lifted one hand in between her and Regina and pointed at her and opened her mouth to say something but she closed her mouth again as she watched Regina's face. Regina looked down at her finger and then back at her with amusement. Emma dropped her hand and shook her head, "what the hell is wrong with you? What happened to you that made you so dark that you take pleasure in messing with people lives?" she shot an angry but sympathetic look at the mayor before she turned and left.

The sympathy in her gaze caught Regina off guard and she watched her front door thoughtfully as Emma closed it behind her. She smiled as she turned toward David and looked up into his puzzled eyes. She walked up to him and placed a hand on his bare chest, "perhaps another time?" she spoke gently and placed a soft kiss on his mouth and to her relief he returned it. She pulled away and walked into her kitchen with David following close behind.

She bent down and picked up his shirts and handed them to him with a smile. David nodded and reached for them, his hands accidentally grazing hers as he did. He held them there for a moment before Regina let go and took her wine glass back in her hand and watched as he got himself dressed and then followed him to the door.

David stopped as he put on his jacket, "thanks again for dinner." he smiled and nodded his thanks.

Regina nodded and smiled in return and David left her house closing the door quietly behind him. As she heard the door close she took one last sip from her glass as she looked in to the mirror in her foyer.

Anger flowed through her veins and she could no longer hold it. Damn it Swan I had him! And she threw her glass at the mirror shattering both while spraying the last bit of wine on the wall. She stood for a moment looking at the damage and then walked away, her heels clicking on the floor as she left.
