Chapter 1
The warm buzz began to hit her midway through her coffee. The bags under her eye did not go unnoticed by her reflection even after a light dusting of concealer. Her usually elegant demeanor was replaced by a sulking, shadow of her former self. Coffee in hand, Regina made her way down the staircase and into her office. Pushing the doors aside, she stopped to mentally slap herself upon seeing the budge of paper work effectively covering her desk completely. Forcing herself to finally move, she reluctantly cleared a space for her coffee mug and sat down in her chair. Taking a moment to brush a stray strand of hair out of her face she thought about the irony of taking a day off from work to catch up with her work. She composed herself before finally diving into the paper work that sat before her.
Being the mayor of a small town was no easy task. Everyone always needed her immediately because of some dire tragedy that seemed to occur far too often considering how small the town was. Even on her day off, she was still on call.
After seeing Henry off to school, at roughly seven in the morning, Regina had been consumed by her work. Without stopping to eat lunch, she worked till four only leaving her chair to get more coffee. Finally looking at the time, Regina allowed herself a break knowing that Henry would be home soon. Her joints were numb from practically being glued to her chair for the good majority of the day. Struggling to walk out of her office, she heard a knock at the door. Her brows wrinkled as she cautiously walked towards her door. She knew that Henry had the key and earlier she had told her assistant that under no circumstance was anyone to come to her home unannounced. Composing her face to a stoic mask, she opened the door. Greeted by a gust of wind and the blinding light that she had not been exposed to all day, she suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at the visitor in front of her.
"Good evening Miss Swan. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit," she stated rather sarcastically as she eyed the blonde on her doorstep.
"Evening Madame Mayor," Emma Swan spoke rather uncomfortably. "I just wanted to see how you were doing. Aurora (Regina's assistant) said you weren't at work today and I just thought…" she trailed off. Emma noted Regina's black t-shirt and jeans immediately and realized she had never seen the Mayor in anything casual before.
"How thoughtful of you Miss Swan," said Regina watching Emma's eyes travel on her body. "Did this little visit have a purpose or did you simply miss me that much," Regina questioned as a smirk spread across her face.
"Well. See the thing is. Um," Emma mentally berated herself for not being able to form a coherent sentence. Without thinking she blurted out, "Can I come in?" Her cheeks flushed when she realized what her own voice had just asked.
"Miss Swan I am very busy as I am sure the Sherriff's station is as well," Regina mused ironically. "I am expecting Henry back from school any minute now."
"Henry is going horseback riding with David Nolan," Emma said quickly hoping to distract Regina from her son's current location. "I wanted to talk to you," she finished quietly.
Clearly shocked at her obliviousness to her son's whereabouts, Regina huffed out a breath and said, "Please come in Miss Swan since you clearly will not leave me alone anytime soon." And with that Regina moved out of the doorway to let Emma Swan into her home.
"Thanks," Emma said happily as she walked into the house. In the handful of times Emma had ever been in Regina's house she never fully appreciated its tasteful décor. Marveling at the beautiful interior, Emma's mouth hung open in awe. Regina closed the door, struggling against the wind and then turned to face the blonde. Emma stood awkwardly as Regina was clearly scrutinizing her own appearance. Emma wore her signature red leather jacked, plain white t-shirt, dark wash jeans, and riding boots. It was no secret that Regina detested anything other than business casual attire.
"Please follow me Miss Swan," Regina stated as she started walking towards her office. Normally she would take her guests into her living room, but Regina need something strong to get her through this unexpected encounter with Emma.
Emma followed her into her office and was instantly taken aback by the numerous papers pilled on the desk. She stood in the doorway unable to move as Regina, who was paying no attention to the blonde, poured two glasses full of dark amber liquid.
"Here you are Miss Swan," Regina said as she handed the blonde the glass.
"I had no idea you had this much work," Emma said still in shock eyeballing the stacks of paper.
"Well you have my full attention now," Regina said as she downed her drink. It was a little early to start drinking, but the alcohol was doing an effective job of distracting her from the headache she now possessed whenever she seemed to be talking to the blonde.
"Right," Emma stuttered. She took a sip of the drink and immediately made a face. Choking, she wondered how Regina had easily drank the liquid in such a composed manner. To her surprise, Regina laughed.
"Of all people I thought you would be able to handle that liquor Miss Swan," Regina said after her laughter subsided. Smirking, Regina went to pour herself another glass. She enjoyed watching Emma's amazement of her ability to handle her alcohol. When she turned back to the sheriff, she noticed that Emma had finished her drink. "Would you like some more?" Regina questioned as a smirk pulled at her lips knowing the blonde was going to try and keep up with her.
Against her better judgment Emma confidently said, "Yes please."
Regina refilled her glass. She did not want to miss the blonde struggling to drink the liquor, so without taking her eyes off the blonde Regina down the liquid in one graceful motion. Regina could feel her head starting to spin as the alcohol stuck to her lips. Spinning the glass in her hand, Emma could feel Regina's gaze on her. With some false courage, Emma brought the glass to her lips and as quickly as she could, forced it down her throat. She could feel the burning of her throat, but did her best not to let her face contort with discomfort. The two women eyed each other, no words passing between them. Heat was practically radiating off of them as each of woman could feel the alcohol take over.
"Please have a seat Miss Swan," Regina said as she gestured towards the black, leather coach. "We have yet to discuss the reason you decided to grace my home with your presence." Regina gracefully seated herself on the soft patiently waiting for Emma to join her.
"Yes well," Emma started to slur. Seating herself on the coach next to Regina, she looked into the other woman's dark eyes. She noted how tired Regina looked. Regina's hair was slightly less than perfect, which lead Emma to wonder how overworked Regina really was. Her usually sharply defined dark red lips were unusually smudged. The sound of Regina's voice pulled Emma out of her daze.
"Miss Swan?" Regina questioned uncomfortably noting the Emma had just been staring at her lips. Mentally contemplating where this conversation would go, she eagerly waited for Emma to start speaking again. The alcohol began to make her mind fuzzy with a warm buzz encompassing her body.
The heat on Emma's cheeks began to burn. "Smooth Swan," she thought. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. The tension in the air was clouding the entire room in an invisible thick fog. With neither wanting to say anything, they both just stared at each other. Unconsciously, Regina's eyes settled on Emma's lips as if she could compel Emma to speak. Smiling at where Regina's eyes had fallen, Emma slowly brought her hand up to Regina's neck. Completely oblivious of Emma's hand resting on her neck Regina flashed her eyes back up towards Emma's eyes. Without thinking twice, Emma leaned forward and pulled Regina forward capturing her red lips in a crushing kiss.
Startled by the sudden movement, Regina's eyes bulged. Her body was frozen stiff against Emma Swan, locked in Emma's tight embrace. After a few seconds, Emma released her grip on Regina and sat back only to be greeted by a horrified look on Regina's face.
"Oh shit," Emma said. "I'm so sorry," Emma said standing up before almost falling over the coffee table to make her escape.
Regina blinked rapidly trying to figure out what had just happened. Her mouth was agape and her head was still spinning, as she brought her own hand up to her lips. She felt a warm heat on her own lips where Emma's had been firmly planted. She couldn't fathom how, of all people, Emma Swan was...lusting after her. In an attempt to compose herself, the brunette quickly shook her head. "Maybe there is some way to use this," Regina thought. Time being scarce, she quickly formed a plan and allowed herself to play along. "This might just be the perfect way to get rid of Emma Swan. This is how I will destroy her," she thought evilly. Regina's new plan consisted of using Emma's newly exposed feelings to run her out of StoryBrooke. She would lead the blonde on long enough so that when the time came, Regina would be able to crush her heart.
"Stop!" Regain commanded.
Emma turned to face the woman she had just kissed, her cheeks scarlet red. Regina slowly lifted herself from the coach smirking at the blonde in front of her. With fluid strides, Regina closed the distance between herself and Emma. Her dark eyes found green orbs nervously waiting to be slapped in the face. Emma was terrified by the predatory look in Regina's eyes. Regina reached behind Emma to pull the door closed, effectively locking it in the process. Emma was now trapped between the door and the crazed, smirking Mayor. A lump in her throat prevented the flow of oxygen to her lungs as she waited for Regina to make her next move. Without further hesitation Regina pushed Emma against the door, pinning both of her hand to either side. "Let the game begin," Regina thought before diving forward to attack Emma's neck with kisses and bites.
Shocked, Emma let out a small breath before closing her eyes to enjoy the closeness and kisses Regina was showering her skin with. "I must be dreaming," she thought as she could feel each nerve on her body explode upon contact. Her hands now fully tangled in Regina's ravenous brown hair. Regina's kisses and bites were by no means gentle, but created a wet pool between Emma's legs. Pulling off Emma's jacket and practically ripping her t-shirt in the process, Regina continued to nip at Emma's now chilled skin. In an attempt to feel to Regina, Emma hands tried to pull up Regina's black shirt, but was effectively stopped by a low grow she heard from the other woman. Emma now realized that Regina was in complete control of the situation. Regina positioned her knee in-between the sheriff's legs, feeling Emma's arousal with her knee.
She kissed her way up to Emma's ear and whispered in a low sultry voice, "Tell me what you want Miss Swan."
Emma's breathing was labored as she felt Regina's warm breath against her ear. "Please," was all the blonde could get out. Regina's voice was practically dripping with sex noticeably dropping an octave.
"Please what?" Regina said teasingly in-between kisses.
Emma realized this was her chance, seeing as Regina was occupied currently. Emma quickly spun the Mayor so that she was now pressed against the door. Emma did not intend to shove her as hard as she did, but Regina's back hit the wood hard. Emma could now see the fear wash over Regina's face as she now at the mercy of Emma Swan. Unused to not being in control, Regina's eyes narrowed clearly not enjoying being dominated.
"Miss Swan…" Regina started, but was cut off by Emma's lips against hers. Their kisses were rough; a battle between their mouths had a purely animalistic manner. Regina thought to herself, "Get control of the situation now!" Effectively, Regina managed to push Emma Swan off of her, breaking their passionate kiss. At first Emma was stunned, but reluctantly accepted her fate as she was knocked back onto the leather couch. Regina slowly walked over, pulling her own shirt off in the process before straddling the blonde. She would deny Emma the pleasure of taking her shirt off and allowing Emma to touch her unless she deemed necessary. Without wasting time, Regina unzipped Emma's jeans and plunged her hand into Emma's pants. Feeling the damp piece of cloth she breathed out a moan before lowering herself to capture Emma's lips once again.
Emma's head was still spinning from alcohol currently present in her system. She pulled Regina closer in a desperate attempt to feel her warm skin against her own. Emma moaned into Regina's mouth as Regina slid a single digit into Emma's soaking arousal. Regina teased Emma by starting a painfully slow rhythm with her finger. She could feel the blonde squirming under her, trying to create more friction. She arched her back and grinded on Regina in a desperate attempt to feel the other woman. She could feel her body tightening against Regina's finger. "So close," Emma thought to herself.
Suddenly, Regina pulled out her finger and lifted herself off of a confused and sad Emma Swan. "Henry will be home soon," Regain state rather matter-of-factly as she searched for her discarded shirt.
"Oh right," Emma said dejectedly feeling completely unrelieved from the building sensation. Emma quickly grabbed her shirt and hurriedly walked out of the Mayor's office. "It was wishful thinking," Emma said to herself feeling foolish and ashamed.
"Before you go Miss Swan," Regina said as she sauntered over sad woman that reluctantly faced her. Regina grabbed Emma's face and pulled her into a searing kiss. She forced her tongue into Emma's mouth while her teeth pulled at Emma's swollen bottom lip. Regina then released Emma and walked back into her office smiling knowingly. Stunned, Emma stood awkwardly just in front of the door trying to process the encounter she just had with a woman she considered her enemy. Forcing herself to move, she stumbled out of the house still slightly buzzed by the alcohol in her system.
Regina watched from her office window as the clumsy sheriff got in her bug and drove off. A sly smile played at her lips as she thought how to go about her new plan. "This will be fun," thought Regina as she fluffed her hair before sitting down at her desk to continue her work "I might even enjoy it," she mused. Even though she relentlessly tried to finish her work, all Regina could think about was the feeling of Emma Swan's lips on her own.
