Accepting the invitation inside, Neil offered her the flower with a bit of a sheepish smile.

"I, uh--I know roses are more popular, but I've always liked these." He explained. "It's one of very few pieces of flora or fauna I've seen in both my world and the Five Realms. Never could remember what they called 'em in my world...'imitations' or somethin'."

Taking a brief, curious look around as she shut the door, Neil's gaze finally fell on Regina again, who somehow stole his breath and made his belly clutch with raw lust at the same time just by virtue of her beauty...and her relentless ambition when it came to trying to put him in his place.

He loved it, he just wasn't gonna stand for it. He didn't want to be in his place, he wanted to be somewhere better, somewhere closer...somewhere between stealing a piece of fire from her fingers over drinks and pinned to a wall with her fingers wrapped around his beating heart.

Before he could stop himself, he was moving forward, crowding her gently back against the door so he could cup her cheek in one hand, turn her face up, and slowly seal his mouth to hers for one delicious, oxygen deprived moment before he broke the kiss and ghosted his lips over that tiny scar at the edge of her upper lip, mapping that shallow ridge with a shaky sigh that curved his mouth into a grin.

"Sorry, I just...I've been wanting to do that since you started giving me crap with that first text message."

Neil couldn't stop the low, ragged sound that her hands tore from deep in his chest as they found his skin, tracing the line of muscle above his hips and driving the air out of his lungs with an intensity he'd never felt with any other woman. He'd been in his fair share of beds, but none of those women, even the most generous who worked for every coin, had hands like hers--fingers that formed fists that stung when they struck him, that fit so tight through his own when she reached for him.

Hands that tucked so perfectly into the gap in his armor that he'd shown her, filling it so it could never again be used against him.

"Yeah?" he managed to reply, head turning so his nose brushed along her cheekbone, then down so his mouth could find the joint of her jaw just below her ear, raking his teeth gently over it before he laid a kiss there--then did it again with a sweep of his tongue to taste her skin with another low sound of pleasure. "What've you been thinkin' about?"

It reached him in measures: the way she shoved her hands against his body to devour more by touch, the weight of her eyes on him when she looked into his face--the infinitesimal way she relaxed just a little, the sound of his own words being used against him.

She was mated, he knew that she was mated, and he was fortunate enough to remember just enough of a life among his own kind that he could not just want this, but try for it, be human enough to fight for it because human heart to human heart was not the magic of the dragons--it was a whole different kind.

Looking into her eyes, he saw that first flicker of magic--she felt the heat, but he saw the light in it, and he didn't feel the victory he thought would be there. Only gratitude.

Reaching up to run his fingers through her hair, sweeping it away from her face, he tried to find a way to tell her, to make sure that she understood he understood.

I know I'm not him. It's okay if I'm not. It's okay if I can't have everything, just let me have a piece.

The words wouldn't fit on his tongue, so instead he took her face between his hands and pressed his lips to her forehead, just for an instant, sealed the words against his skin before he let one hand fall to the side of her neck, fingers dancing over that slim column of skin while the other reached for one of hers.

Drawing back, he held her gaze for a second as he drew it to his lips, then shut his eyes and pressed a kiss to her wrist with another quiet moan of pleasure as his tongue flicked out to taste skin again, warm and sweet heady before he set his teeth there like he'd promised, catching that soft, thin flesh hard before he soothed the sting with his tongue--and did it again just because he could.

Just so he could hear breath grow rough and feel it in her body pressed close: every single promise that he made her being fulfilled with interest.

It felt a little like losing his mind when she shoved at his shirt, hiked it higher on his body to get to the rest of him like she couldn't get enough. He damn near spoke a spell to get rid of it, not even remove it just burn it the fuck up because it was keeping him from getting closer, but instead he just growled impatiently and yanked it off in one abrupt motion so he could breathe again, press in close...

The way she stopped and just looked stole what was left of his breath. The way humans looked at fully shifted dragons in the Five Realms, greedy eyes devouring magic and power and grace...he felt it in the weight of her eyes on his skin, minus the fear that came with that kind of awe.

She was unafraid as she touched him, nails on skin, mouth on flesh, sharp and hot and making more of those gorgeous fucking sounds full of breath and hunger. She tasted his skin and his arms went around her to keep her close, body to body, melting and electrified at the same time by every greedy sweep of her tongue that stripped another layer of his reason.

She was unfraid, hungry as he was--and still she stopped, forced herself to stop with a tension he could feel sing through her body as readily as his nerves sang and screamed to let her have everything, to dive into her with every sense without stopping until he owned. Every sigh, every moan, every inch of skin and every corner of her mind and heart and soul, until all of it was his and he could cast out every shadow that had ever darkened her path.

In that moment, he wanted all, and he had to stop just as much as she did, freezing with his arm cinched around her instead of dragging her down onto the bed, his hand cradling her cheek rather than tipping her head back so he could let the fire in his blood have him and just start consuming.

"Okay," he croaked, voice gone rough as gravel with the desperate ache for more clawing at his insides, "we're never gonna get to dinner if...if I don't back up now."

He tried. He really, really tried...but instead of backing up, he found himself tipping her head back and kissing her again, slow and full of heat...

"Actually letting go now." he rasped against her mouth when the kiss broke and contenting himself with just running his fingers through her hair--it was a little easier with the taste of her still fresh on his tongue as he looked down at her. "If you want me to, I mean."

"At the risk of sounding real fuckin' cliche? Starving, just not for dinner." Neil laughed breathlessly, transfixed by the way her eyes slid shut as he ran his fingers through her hair--breath catching audibly as her hands found a comfortable place against the middle of his bare back. It wasn't just that it felt good--that he wanted more of her hands, more of her mouth, more of the way she looked at him like he was magic and not just a wielder of power...

That look was oxygen, and without it he felt like he was suffocating.

He hadn't forgotten about how long it took her to invite him over, though--that hour where he thought he'd blown it. Maybe she needed the extra time...or maybe she didn't, not the way she held onto him.

"But if you need to...stop and eat first, I can wait." he assured her softly, leaning in to press his forehead to hers, just sharing her air for a second. "If you don't need to stop?..."

There were words. In his head, on the tip of his tongue--words that didn't involve an arm around her waist, pulling her impossibly closer, or a hand sliding under the lapel of that pretty bolero jacket to start pushing it off her shoulder--slow, meticulous, giving her room to make him stop--but instead of words, that was what he did instead, watching her face as he started to slip that fabric over her shoulder and down her arm.

Neil didn't think she was capable of being remotely unattractive, pragmatic or no, so the remark just made him grin as he finished stripping that bolero jacket off her shoulders, dropped it on the floor, and ran his hands over her shoulders and down her arms, just...looking. There was no part of her that wasn't begging to be touched, she was just that fucking hot, but 'hungry' was an understatement when it came to how much and how badly he wanted her.

Wanted to look, wanted to touch--Ember's Balls, his stupid text message was a drop in the fucking ocean of what he wanted with this woman.

For the moment, that was dinner and literally everything else, so he took a deep breath to calm his hammering heart and nodded through her magnetic pull, nose brushing her forehead, one arm still wrapped around her waist.

"Okay. Let's get the ball rolling on dinner, then." he agreed...then grinned and burrowed a hand into her hair as he bent to steal one last kiss, taking his time with going deeper, tasting her, running his fingers through her hair and finally settling his hand against her nape before he had to stop just so he didn't pass out from lack of air.

"Okay." he panted, loosening his hold on her, that smile still plastered to his face. "Now let's get the ball rolling on dinner."

Neil's breath escaped him in an audible rush as she changed before him into scraps of lace and satin that were nothing like the abundance of frills or blatant peddling of wares that the working women of the Five Realms favored--and the things it did to him with that long, glorious line of her bare back and those legs he could all but feel wrapped around him in his own imagination...

The corners of his mouth quirked upwards, a vaguely unholy light shining in his eyes, along with the mix of awe and warmth that made his heart feel like an overfilled wineskin, unable to contain the measure of what he was feeling.

War it was, then.

Releasing her, Neil just nodded and walked over to the nightstand to pick up the room service menu. Stopping just long enough to give it a look--and contemplate his next blow in this sensual battle, he painted an appealing picture of his own with far less awareness: head bowed and hair still in a knot at his nape, his broad, muscled back was as artfully laid out to her gaze as she was to his, including the dark string of script characters that were tattooed perfectly along the line of his spine.

Her eyes were warm, pleasant as they moved over his skin, but the feel of her fingers following her gaze had air hissing in between his teeth as they ignited a shiver up his spine and burned as they touched him, in all the best ways possible.

"They--uh, they're gifts of the Night Dragon." he replied, voice a little rougher as he looked over and down at her without moving away from those curious fingers, his answer delayed by his inability to speak through the knot of desire and something else, something that made him forget to breathe for the eagerness of that touch--that she asked because she wanted to know, because she wanted to know him.

"It's a good thing, promise. He has the ability to bind magic to flesh through branding--tattooing." he went on, gesturing vaguely with the room service menu in hand. "When I started my education under him, he gave me these--he didn't tell me anything more than that they were runes from an ancient dragon tribe. They bound all but my most basic abilities in the beginning. As my control improved, he started to strip their magic--rendering them inert was sort of my graduation. Left the marks as kind of a status symbol. Tattooing ain't common in the Five Realms, and it's not done in Nocturne. The origins of the art are Triton in my world, and they've been enemies of the crown for centuries."

"It's a miracle it took this long." Neil replied to her question with a husky huff of laughter that ended in a hiss as she stretched out one long leg and ran her foot along the inside of his leg, a dull tease that made his throat tight with the sudden burning need, desperation to get rid of the denim separating him from more than that barely there glide of her toes against his calf. His fucking calf--she was basically poking him with her foot, and he could barely breathe he was so painfully aroused.

It was so distracting he missed what she said--and nearly missed her question. Food. Right.

Hastily skimming the menu, he drew a ragged breath to focus as long as it took to find something he recognized, and settled on a sandwich he remembered from his youth.

"Burger." he replied tersely, the menu slipping bonelessly from his fingers as he planted a knee on the bed next to her hip, naked hunger on his face as he slid a hand over her cheek, cupping it briefly before fingers tunneled into her hair to tip her head back further as he leaned down...

...and just managed to make himself twist so he landed on the mattress beside her, seated with his leg tucked under him.

"You have exactly ten seconds to get that order in before I lose my mind and end up on my knees while you're still giving 'em your room number." he croaked, flopping back onto the bed with a groan as he scrubbed his hands over his face. "Ember's Balls, no woman's foot should be that intense. You're goddamn amazing."

She was a perfect vision of sex gone crazy in the best possible way--kissing her back as she straddled him, he felt a little like he was going crazy as he reached up to cradle her cheek in his hand, another low groan vibrating deep in his chest as he tasted her, took what she gave, died as she broke the kiss to speak. He'd never felt dragon fire with the kind of heat that was in her voice, burning like coals in her eyes, and it felt like sapping body heat, soul-deep, fire pouring out of him and into her and back again in a carnal perpetual motion machine feeding itself on the sparks all but flying off his fingers everywhere he touched her--cradling her cheek, running a hand up her thigh.

...and it didn't feel right. Not quite, not completely.

So he curled his fingers under her thigh for leverage, rolling her onto her back so he could settle his body in the cradle between her legs, looking down at her with all that gorgeous, dark hair spread across the bed...

Better.

Grinning at her with a mixture of joy and that same ravenous hunger, Neil bent his head to kiss her again, slow and hard and deep as he propped himself up just enough to keep from crushing her with his weight while his other hand mapped the line of her body from shoulder to hip, dancing over her bare arm, glancing over the curve of her breast, hiking up that silky negligee just enough to push his hand beneath and briefly splay his fingers against her side and her ribcage.

Every delicious inch of skin was so soft and flush with heat--felt almost too fragile for his clumsy, callused fingers, but he was half drunk already, mouth moving along her jaw, nipping and kissing and tasting her skin. His fingers found that silken skin of her thigh again, hitching her leg over his hip in a mad quest to get closer, touch more, consume her with his hands as well as lips and teeth and tongue.

And every touch, every taste tore another groan or growl from him, hips rocking to find a kiss of friction--every sweep of his tongue on her skin shooting straight to his cock, every reaction from her sweet torment, every passing second he spent in her arms sinking through the madness to the sliver of his brain still capable of coherent thought and making him more certain that he never wanted to be anywhere else for the rest of his fucking life except for this bed, this place, drowning in the heavenly sin that was Regina Mills.

That remark got a laugh out of him, low and rough as the soft scrape of his beard against her skin when he twisted his head with a drag of facial hair to press his mouth against her collarbone for another taste, tongue sweeping hot against that ridge of skin and bone.

"Nothin' stupid could ever come outta that gorgeous mouth." he murmured against her skin before he raked his teeth sharply over it, soothed it with his tongue--fastened his mouth there and sucked a mark, tongue soothing the sting of pressure and the further press of teeth until she'd have a memory of the moment, something that clothing would chafe or her fingers would brush and she'd come right back here: her body under his, his mouth on her, her hands on him.

"Everything about you is gorgeous." he breathed when he was done, lifting his head to admire his work, admire the woman laid out beneath him with laughter like a candle flame and hands like coals burning his skin everywhere she touched him. The better word was perfect, but she'd argue and he knew it. Still, it was true--and as badly as he wanted to just lose himself in that perfect body, as badly as he needed, he wanted more of that laugh and that dark chocolate voice and those little touches she couldn't control just because she wanted more.

He wanted her so bad it made his chest tight.

Nuzzling the plane of her chest just below her collarbone, he let his beard scrape across skin again with a smile she'd feel if she was paying attention.

Just before a familiar word in an alien tongue fell from his lips--but it wasn't his clothing that magic started to burn away as he let a hand brush aside the thin strap of her negligee so he could lay a few hot, openmouthed kisses of his own against her shoulder.

It was that scrap of silky fabric keeping them apart that began to glow like coals at the edges before floating away on glittering bits of ash so he could sink further into her for just a moment, savor that fire of skin on skin, devour the supple curve of her breasts with fingers and mouth before he started crawling down the length of her body. There was enormous satisfaction in branding himself onto her ribs and her belly with those scrapes of callused fingers and facial hair and little rakes of teeth, marks that would fade in moments and some that would linger a little longer before he let himself descend a little further into madness.

Hooking his fingers in the elastic of those matching panties, he dragged them off of her hips and down her legs with another impatient growl before planting himself between her legs again with little more warning than a hand skittering over her thigh, a palm resting flat and warm against her stomach before he ran a finger along her slit and chased it with his tongue.

The sound she made, the way she surged up for more of him--the way she opened herself for him and dug a heel into his back to pull him closer, those fingers knotted sharp in his hair, pulling taut with no regard for the sweet sting...

For long, beautiful moments, Neil really did go a little bit crazy.

He took his time, with tongue and fingers, enjoying the taste of her, the way she reacted--that little bit of power that came from something just a little bit selfless. The women he bedded earned their coin, and it wasn't often that he would indulge in that dark thrill of temporary dominion when they came apart for him, or the brief and very real surprise on their faces when they realized what he meant to have for what he paid.

This was far different. Every time his tongue slipped inside her for another taste, or his fingers replaced his tongue so he could sweep it across her clit instead, the power didn't feel the same. He was conquering nothing, shocking no one, deriving no pleasure simply from being able to take a woman apart.

He felt himself being taken as much as he was taking her, one stroke of his fingers at a time. Neil was suddenly, painfully aware of how far and how deep she'd let him inside, this queen of the Enchanted Forest, this woman who could kill with a flex of fingers and who guarded her heart so carefully yet dragged into it without reservation the children that moved her to love. This wasn't just sex, it hadn't been for him from the start, but as he slid two fingers inside of her and twisted, curling up against the spot deep inside that he knew would bring him closer to having her pleasure for himself, he felt powerful in a way he never had.

Pressing closer as he gently wrapped his lips around her clit and lapped, sucked, fingers moving hard and deep inside her, he hummed with the pleasure of stolen breath and strong hands, of losing control and sharing something.

As he pursued her orgasm as relentlessly as he would later pursue his own, Neil felt briefly like a god because he was crisply aware, in his own right, that there was no other road left him. There was only this woman's bed, this woman's voice, this woman's pleasure.

There was only her.
