"Gina, I'm home," Emma called out from the main door, leaving the keys on the table.
"I'm in the kitchen," Regina responded.
Emma moved into Regina's mansion one month ago; it had been Emma's decision because she was tired of driving every night to and for Regina's house, and when she made up her mind Regina knew Emma did what she wanted at the end of the day and she only could smile and say "whatever you want,… Miss Swan…." And Emma would smile back.
She loves the way Regina says "Miss Swan". And when that happens she thinks of all those fights they had before she was brave enough to take a step forward, grab Regina's hips and kiss her lips the way she did two months ago. From that moment on, Regina and Emma stopped fighting against their own fate and were honest to themselves for once.
"What are you smiling about?" Regina asked.
Emma wistfully responded, "I was thinking of your face after I kissed you for first time two months ago."
"Miss Swan…"
"What? I loved the way you looked at me… because I knew you wished that kiss from the first time we met," Emma smiled teasingly.
"Me? What about you? Don't you remember how you used to look at my breasts every time you could?"
Emma looked affronted. "Used to? ... You mean I still do".
Both looked at each other and started to laugh at the whole situation.
Emma got close to Regina, grabbed her hips and looked into her brown eyes. Both smiled again staring at each other.
"What did you see in me Emma?" Regina asked after a moment.
"From the moment I saw you, I knew, I'd never stop loving you".
Regina looked at her without saying any word. She knew that Emma was the only one who could do that. Because Emma, her Savior, saved her from everything, from the darkness, and since that day, the day they kissed each other, she can't help but to feel this kind and powerful love inside.
The Queen stroked the Savior's face and kissed those soft pink lips once more, feeling Emma's light inside burrowing into her dark heart and turning it less dark day by day.
Suddenly, Regina began to drag her upstairs by her hands. Emma let out a chuckle.
"Hey.. My mayor, what are you doing?"
"Shhh Miss Swan… we are going to make magic," Regina responded with a wink.
Both smiled and kissed again when they reached the upstairs the corridor. When they broke apart, Regina latched on o kiss Emma's neck. The sheriff tried to find the wall with her hand to guide them to their room, but it was very difficult to concentrate feeling Regina's hands over her body.
"You are going to kill me Regina," Emma whispered.
Regina looked at her green eyes and Emma whispered, "Make me yours…. Now."
"Whatever you wish, my knight, my princess," Regina responded.
Emma laid on the bed and Regina climbed over the savior. They looked at each other for a moment before the brunette kissed Emma's lips again, slipping her fingers through Emma's long hair.
"I love having you here Regina, over me, touching me the way you are doing right now," Emma breathed.
Regina stopped kissing for a few moments to respond, "No, Emma, you can't imagine how much love and passion I feel inside of me. So many times wishing you were mine and now… you are."
After listening to these words Emma wanted her so much more.
She couldn't remember he first moment she started to feel this way. Perhaps when Regina rushed out he door of her mansion, and hugged Henry the way she did. Perhaps it happened when they fought in front of the apple tree. Emma doesn't know how but after all of this happened she now has all that she wanted: a family. And she is feeling more at home for first time in her whole life and for her, home is now in Regina's arms.
"Emma, are you ok?"
"Yeah…" Emma responded softly.
"Don't lie to me."
Emma couldn't help but smirk slightly as she asked,"Do you have my super power now?"
"Sort of," the mayor smiled.
The blonde looked at Regina's brown eyes. "You know I am not that kind of romantic girl..."
"Yes, I do know… what are you trying to tell me?"
Emma took a deep breath and let it out before responding,"… To be honest, I look at you and I can't believe this is happening."
"Emma, it was inevitable and if we are being honest… I can't believe it either. The Evil Queen in love with the savior…"
"In love?"
Regina looked at her a little bit frightened and blushed. "Well, I mean…"
"Yes I know what you mean," Emma laughed.
The room was completely quiet. Regina was still over Emma, slipping her fingers through the blonde curls and Emma's fingers stroked Regina's shoulder with her fingers.
"I don't know what kind of magic you cast on me but you did"
Emma pulled Regina's body closer to hers and made the space between them nearly nonexistent. Emma's lips pressed onto Regina's, her tongue peeking out.
Regina breathing started to accelerate when she felt Emma's tongue in her lower lip.
The Mayor slowly stripped Emma of her blouse. Button after button, Emma breathing was deeper and faster. Regina looked how she moved when she touched her skin after undoing another button of her white blouse, feeling how Emma opened her legs, moving her hips towards her.
Emma body language spoke so loud and she only wanted her touch over her body.
Regina sat on Emma's abs, straddling her legs on either side of her body. They looked at each other. Regina started to unbutton her own blouse very slowly, coyly looking at her, and smiling when Emma couldn't help but move her hips when the Mayor's breasts were displayed in front of her.
The Queen leaned over Emma and started to kiss her neck, moving up to her ear. The Savior opened her eyes and her pupils dilated when Regina slipped her hand closer to Emma's sex while Regina whispered "You are the reason why you left my house so fast when we met for first time. I only could think of this when you were drinking and you looked at me, and I wasn't about to let you in that easily."
The blonde moaned, her eyes closing, while the brunette was slowly drawing circles around her clit.
Regina stopped, garnering a small huff from the blonde, and took Emma's clothes off.
"What?" Emma whispered when she opened her eyes and saw Regina looking at her.
"Nothing… I just… love seeing you completely naked in front of me."
Emma blushed and grabbed her wrist to feel Regina closer to her.
The Queen leaned over Emma and slipped her finger over Emma's lips.
"How could I be so blind Emma?"
"I really don't know. You only have to look at me… I'm so hot" she laughed with an air of superiority.
"I know. But do you know what?" slipping her fingers over Emma's cheek. "Even when I was with Robin… I never stopped thinking of you"
"I don't know how it took you so long Regina… Come here and kiss me… idiot."
Regina smiled and kissed her passionately all night long
Hook was trying to get a few girls in the tavern drunk to forget all what happened with Emma.
He came back to the Enchanted Forest to forget that day in Storybrooke.
When Emma had discovered all that Hook had been hiding from her, all the lies he told her., Emma decided to break up with him. She had had enough, she didn't want anymore lies and loneliness in her life because of him, so she said goodbye to him for good.
"She has to be mine after all. I can explain why I did what I did, every lie I told," Hook sipped another drink of rum, sitting at Granny's. Since Regina started to date Robin, everything had changed between them. Their breaking up wasn't only about lies, there was something else going.
He looked up and saw yellow bug passing by.
Hook left Granny's and decided to follow her.
The pirate reached the vault after some minutes of following. The yellow bug was parked but Emma wasn't there.
He had a bad feeling about this because of Emma's behavior lately. Despite everything, he decided to enter the mausoleum and went down the stairs under the elder Henry Mills' grave.
He walked through the dark corridor but stopped when he heard Emma arguing with Regina.
"I am tired of talking about this Swan," Regina was saying.
"What do you mean? Because I am pretty sure that Tinkerbell's spell didn't work."
Regina threw her hands up exasperatedly. "Why are you always pissing me off Swan?"
"Because you are making a big mistake," Emma responded confidently.
"What mistake would that be, Swan?"
"Robin Hood is your mistake."
"Miss Swan… why do you insist on this? We haven't had a girl's night out or something of the sort to make me think I would want to talk to you about this.
Emma took a step forward. She was so close that Regina could feel Emma's breathing.
"Regina… tell me you don't feel anything for me and I will leave you alone."
Hook couldn't believe what he was hearing. He wanted to run away but he couldn't move any of his muscles.
"Come on Regina say something" Emma exclaimed.
"I can't," Regina hollered with tears in her eyes "It's wrong… everything… everything is wrong. A tear drop fell onto her shoes as her voice got quieter, less sure. "I can't feel…"
"What's wrong?" Emma gently asked, noting that Regina wouldn't respond well to more yelling.
"You… me… us… this kind of…"
"Aaaggh. Regina, this has been going on long enough." Emma grabbed her hip with one hand and caressed her cheek with the other. She looked into Regina's eyes as she said, "I feel you in every breath. Tell me that you feel me too," and she kissed her with both passion and anger intermingling from having hidden her feelings for so long.
Hook had had enough and decided to make himself known. "Bloody Hell"
"Hook" Emma exclaimed, jumping back in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"Me? What about you? Just...What? When? Why? With her? Really? She is the Evil Queen!."
"And you are a drunk pirate" Regina huffed.
"You left me because of her?... her?!" Hook repeated over and over again pointing Regina.
"I left you because of all you lies. You have been lying to me since the beginning," Emma coolly responded.
"She almost killed you, she cast the curse, she… she…" Hook walked towards Regina and Emma put herself in front of Regina, protecting her.
"Don't you dare hurt her Hook. I know she almost killed me and I was an orphan because of her. I know that, but she has really changed. I believe her. I trust her"
"And you love her," Hook claimed.
Emma turned around and looked at Regina. "Yes… I love her" Emma whispered and smiled at the queen.
Regina looked at her, still holding Emma's hand, giving it a small squeeze She had hoped to convey to Emma that she did feel the same, even if she wasn't quite ready to say it yet.
Emma had been glaring at Hook when she suddenly felt Regina's hand give her a soft squeeze. It prompted her to whisper, "I know Regina," as a comforting reassurance, and smiled again.
Hook punched the nearest bookcase and few books fell to the ground.
"Leave, Hook" Regina ordered.
"It's not over Regina," Hook muttered before doing as she said.
Hook was pouring rum into his glass when two soldiers came into the tavern and made their way over to him.
"What are you doing, mates?"
"You have been requested by the Queen," one guard responded.
"What the hell….?"
The soldiers grabbed him, both clutching one of his arms, dragging him out of the tavern before dumping him onto a carriage bound for Cora's castle.
Regina opened her eyes when the sunlight came streaming in through the window. She looked at the ceiling and a let out a deep breath.
The words they told to each other last night reached her soul, and it made her start to think of all that had happened through the years since Emma came in to her life.
The night they met thanks Henry running away had started it all. And in spite of all their ups and downs , they finally looked inside their souls and saw this kind of magic called love.
The truth is, when she stopped trying to fight against fate, she left all her troubles with Emma disappear when she sat by her side to listen, to get to know her better.
She realized how many things they have in common. They shared a similar past. Both of them felt lonely and despite Emma's past as an orphan and being in a lot of foster homes, it is amazing how she didn't let that stop her from becomig the sweet and strong Emma she is today.
Emma gives everything she has; she is loyal, strong and someone she can trust.
Not to mention a beautiful woman, a strong knight and an amazing princess all at once.
All these thoughts came into Regina's mind. She smiled, turned her head and weaved her fingers through Emma's blond curls, feeling an immense love within her heart "And now.. She is mine" she thought with a smile.
Emma opened her eyes when she felt Regina's fingers softly touching her hair.
She looked over at the wall of the bedroom while Regina was running her fingers all over her shoulder, feeling her soft touches all over her back.
A flow of feelings and butterflies fluttered inside her stomach. And again she couldn't help but think of all these years with Regina. She used to hate her because of the curse, because she was an orphan because her life was a mess until she came to Storybrooke and found her family.
However everything changed when she left behind all those thoughts and begun to truly see Regina when she was not looking.
Emma started to see a strong woman with a dark past that she was trying to leave behind a mom who does whatever it takes for Henry. And the sheriff started to get to know her better, to read between lines.
She remembered the question that popped up in her mind yesterday at night "when did she begin to feel this way?" and now she knows it. The moment Emma fell in love with Regina happened when she realized how scared Regina was about everything, about love, friendship, and how she feels and reacts to when someone is caring of her. How vulnerable it makes her look. And when those things happen, Regina disguises all that fear behind sarcasm and condescending words to Emma, pushing her away — or at least, she tried to. But Emma never gave up on her and little by little, her love for Regina was growing inside her heart without doing anything to stop it.
Emma turned around and their eyes found each other.
"Hi... good morning" Emma whispered.
"Good morning dear" Regina got up and opened the curtains.
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"I love your cocoa with cinnamon," Emma responded with an adorable grin.
"My specialty."
"Yes, the only thing you know how to prepare."
"It's not true Regina…." Emma smiled "Did not you miss anything?"
"No…" Regina responded, sounding a bit unsure as she smiled at Emma and got dressed.
Emma got closer to Regina and helped her with the last button of her pyjamas. She looked at her chocolate eyes and smiled.
"You missed this…" Emma looked at Regina's lips for a second before kissing her.
"You are a such a good kisser" Regina murmured, opening her eyes. "And my breakfast?"
Some minutes and various kisses later, Emma was cooking pancakes and preparing her cocoa with cinnamon.
She served Regina her plate with pancakes and Regina puffed when she looked at it.
Emma laughed at Regina's reaction. "No, I know what you're trying to do and I won't fall for it. I am a little bit tired of the apple pancakes, and you have to taste another fruit, Regina"
The queen looked at Emma in mock anger. "Why are you always pissing me off Swan"?.
"Because I can get away with it and you love me" she whispered and winked at her.
"Take your hands off me!" the pirate demanded.
Both soldiers left him in front of Cora who was sat in her throne.
"Hello Captain," Cora coolly greeted.
Hook wasn't really interested in pleasantries, especially after being manhandled. "What do you want Cora?"
"Where are your manners, Captain?" Cora asked with a sickly sweet smile.
"I'm a pirate my lady," Hook responded with a wicked grin, and an attempt at politeness.
"I've heard you need some revenge."
Now she had his attention. "What do you know about it?"
"I always know everything Captain. And I am also in the market for getting revenge," Cora added, sounding disinterested.
"What kind of revenge do you want, my Queen?"
"My daughter is now finally with the Savior-"
"Finally?" Hook blurted, confused.
Cora flashed him a dangerous look. "Don't interrupt me Captain."
"Sorry, my Queen," Hook apologized.
"What i was trying to say is that, she needs to be punished. She has forgotten how hard I worked and how many things I sacrificed for her. Love is weakness and that blonde Savior destroyed all my hard work by showing her how to feel loved by someone. Well, my daughter has to learn this lesson… again."
"Very well, what shall you have me do?"
"Get me close to my daughter. And then I'll rip her heart out."
"And why would I do that? What's in it for me?"
Cora gave a small sigh, willing her patience to suffice while dealing with the dimwitted pirate. "I need your ship to kidnap my daughter and bring back here. And you need your revenge because she has your blonde little Swan"
"Alright… my Queen," Hook acquiesced. He would align with anyone if it meant getting his revenge.
