**Chapter 5: Sparks of Attraction**

The ride back to her mansion was quiet, with only the occasional sound of laughter or music filling the air. Regina couldn't help but steal glances at Robin, who was watching her with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. "I'm glad that's over," Regina said, as she leaned back in her seat. "Me too," Robin replied, his voice low and soothing. "You were amazing out there." Regina smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "Thanks to you, I felt safe." Robin glanced at her, his eyes glinting in the dim light of the car. "That's what I'm here for," he said, his voice husky. Regina felt a shiver run down her spine as she looked at him, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that she was in trouble, and that Robin was going to be a problem. But she couldn't help the way she felt. As they pulled up to her mansion, Regina turned to Robin and said, "You know, I think I'm going to like having you around." Robin smiled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "I'm glad to hear that, love," he said, as he opened the door for her. Regina stepped out of the car, and Robin followed close behind, his eyes never leaving hers. As they walked towards the door, Regina felt a sense of excitement and nervousness. She knew that she was in trouble, and that Robin was going to be a problem. But she couldn't help the way she felt. She was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame. As they walked into her mansion, Regina turned to Robin and said, "I'm glad we're doing this. I feel like I can trust you." He smiled back at her, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "I'm not going anywhere, Regina," he said, his voice low and husky. Regina's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, her mind racing with the implications. She knew that she had to be careful, but she couldn't help the way she felt. "Can I ask you something?" Regina said, as she turned to look at him. "Of course," Robin replied, his voice low and soothing. "Do you always watch over people like this?" Regina asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Robin smiled, his eyes locked on hers. "Only the ones I care about," he said, his voice husky. Regina's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, her mind racing with the implications. She was starting to feel things for her bodyguard that she couldn't quite explain. As they stepped inside, Regina felt a rush of adrenaline as Robin followed close behind, his eyes never leaving hers. "I'm glad you had a good time tonight," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Me too," Robin replied, his eyes locked on hers. Regina smiled up at him, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Robin for being her rock tonight. She had no idea what the future held, but she was excited to find out. Regina leaned back against the wall, her eyes locked on Robin's. She could feel the tension between them building, and she wasn't sure what to do about it. "I'm glad you're here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Robin smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm not going anywhere, love," he said, as he took a step closer to her. Regina's heart skipped a beat as she looked up at him. She knew that she was in trouble, and that Robin was going to be a problem. But she couldn't help the way she felt. She was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame. And she knew that she was in trouble. As they stood there, the air between them thick with tension, Regina knew that she had to make a decision. She could try to ignore the sparks flying between them, or she could take a chance and see where things might go. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest. She was ready to take a chance, to see where this thing with Robin might lead. "Goodnight, Robin," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Robin smiled, his eyes locked on hers. "Goodnight, love," he replied, his voice husky. As Regina turned to walk away, Robin caught her arm and spun her around. "Hey," he said, his voice low and husky. Regina looked up at him, her heart pounding in her chest. "I'm glad you had a good time tonight," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Me too," Robin replied, his eyes locked on hers. For a moment, they just stood there, the tension between them palpable. Then, without another word, Robin leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Regina's heart skipped a beat as she felt his lips on hers. It was a soft, gentle kiss, but it sent shivers down her spine. As they pulled away, Regina smiled up at him, her heart pounding in her chest. "I think I'm in trouble," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Robin smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I think you might be, love," he said, as he took her hand and led her towards the stairs. Regina knew that she was in trouble, and that Robin was going to be a problem. But she couldn't help the way she felt. She was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame. And she knew that she was in trouble.
