Cora turned away from watching her daughter walk down the street and told Hook to return to his ship. She had seen what she wanted.

Ruby finished locking up the diner and began walking home. As always she tilted her head up to look at the moon, checking how close it was to being full. Although it distracted her from the details, her wolf senses picked up that she was being followed and she purposefully spun on her heels without slowing to confront whoever it was.

Her breath caught in her throat as she recognised Cora.

"You… you're here." Her voice came out in a breathless whisper.

Cora smiled at her and reached out to trace a hand across the pitifully thin material Ruby was wearing as a top. "If you wore this in our world you would cause such a scandal…"

"Everyone's talking about you. They think they stopped you from being able to come here."

Cora's eyes brightened as she moved her hand down to grab Ruby's arm. She held it gently, but firmly and pulled her into a quiet-looking alleyway. Ruby didn't protest, even when Cora pushed her up against the brick wall.

"They always were very foolish."

Her hand moved to the buttons on the sleeveless shirt and Ruby closed her eyes as Cora began to undo them.

"Did you miss me?" Cora asked her.

"Yes." Ruby emphasised the end letter as she felt Cora remove her bra, allowing the cold night air touch her skin.

"I missed you." Cora lifted Ruby's arms above her head and held them in place with her magic, before beginning to kiss at her exposed breasts.

Ruby arched her back, pushing her body towards Cora's. Cora laughed and dragged her nails down Ruby's stomach, stopping to look at the skirt.

"Up or down?" She asked no-one in particular. "It's so short there's hardly anything there."

"God, Cora, just…"

Cora slammed her lips into Ruby's, cutting off her words. "Now you know what I'm going to do, but if you keep talking you'll distract me. I've shielded us so no-one can see or hear what we do here but that doesn't mean we have a lot of time right now."

"Mmm." Ruby nodded as she felt Cora flip up her skirt and run a finger against her underwear.

"So damp my little wolf, that's good." Cora whispered into her ear, removing the red knickers with a wave of her hand. "Now I want you to come for me. Can you do that?"

Ruby nodded as she felt Cora press two fingers into her. Her body tightened as she remembered all the other times they had been together. Cora's fingers began their familiar rhythm and her thumb brushed lightly against Ruby's clit. Ruby's hips began to move against her as she felt Cora's tongue enter her mouth. Within minutes her body was shaking, her eyes closed and her breath coming out in short bursts.

Cora withdrew her fingers and licked them individually as Ruby watched. "I'd like more, but we need to talk."

"I need to taste you." Ruby begged. "Your smell is all over me, just let me please. I'll be quick."

Cora smiled at her, releasing her arms. "I was hoping you would say that, but not here."

"We can go to my place." Ruby rested her head against Cora's, breathing in her scent.

"Your grandmothers house?"

"No, my secret place. How did you know I was living with her?"

Cora wrapped her arms around Ruby. "Just tell me where and I'll teleport us."
