Belle stepped around the counter to stand right in front of Regina. “I’m not as fragile as you may think.”

“Oh, really?” Regina laughed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You think you have the stones to do what is necessary? I find that thought hard to entertain.” Regina eyed Belle critically from head to toe. “No offense, but you’re more the damsel in distress type than a backstabbing temptress.”

Belle reached out, letting her fingers trail down Regina’s arms. “I just think there hasn’t been a chance for you to discover my more alluring side.” It wasn’t necessary for Regina to take her heart. Belle just needed to convince her of that.

“Excuse me?” Regina was as confused as she was scandalized. But then she remembered Lacey, who had turned out to be Belle with her brakes off. She would’ve loved to get her hands on that one. Regina pushed Belle back against the counter, following and stopping with their faces only an inch apart. “Why don’t you leave the cunning and deceiving part to someone who’s an expert in that field?” Regina suggested. “Take it as a free lesson.”

Without further ado, Regina lifted her hand and pushed it into Belle’s chest. She ignored Belle’s gasp and painful expression. Her fingers clasped around the heart and she pulled it out. Belle’s heart glowed brightly.

“There’s nothing more fragile than a heart,” Regina said, before she lifted it to her lips and began whispering her commands.

The End

Ooooh, love this, the heat and threat running through it, simmering low but steady. The reference to Lacey was a particularly lovely touch, and now I'm going to be disappointed if this isn't a deleted scene on the DVD! XD

Thank you so much fo your comment. I'm really glad you liked it. When I watched the episode I wondered if Belle would give Regina her heart that willingly and I don't think she would. She truly isn't as fragile as she might appear :) I honestly believe that Lacey is a part of Belle.
Would be awesome if it's a deleted scene on the DVD *gg*

Wooo This means two awesome things. You wrote a fill, and you've left prompts!

You can almost taste the menace in this, I entirely didn't see that ending coming, it was such a perfect way to finish!

Oh yes, it's on! I didn't just write one fill, I've written a couple of fills and I kinda spamed my poor betareader. So more will come, fills and prompts *g* I love drabbeltag!
When Regina is involved menace usually isn't far and when she has a plan she usually sees it through. Trusting Belle over herself? I don't think so :)
thank you for your comment!
