Edge of Fear

Chapter 1

Author's Notes/Warnings: DARK BDSM CONTENT AHEAD! BE WARNED 18+ ONLY! That being said this piece was something that has been written a while ago and never got posted over here. I always meant to but I kept forgetting. Since it's going to take me a while on Diary due to school and work I figured you guys would appreciate some form of reading material and this is done up to Chapter 13. Its a darker piece, not quite as dark as Diary but still out there a bit. I hope you enjoy and really this is just an excuse for smut on my part with some small plot points here and there. I'll try to keep this posted if you guys enjoy it.

Emma sighed as she set her empty cup of cocoa down on the cheap table top of Granny's diner. Ruby was nowhere to be seen which was odd since the blonde Sheriff knew she was closing tonight. Granny was gone and the cook had left as well. She was the only one still sitting in the diner and only because she was doing the dreaded night shift since she had yet to find a deputy she could pawn it off on. She sighed running her fingers through her blonde curls as she stood up. Her low heeled brown boots clicked on the tile floor as she moved to the bar. She looked towards the back not hearing or seeing anyone. Where the hell was Ruby?

She grumbled angrily as she stood there for another few minutes, the only noise being the sounds of the silver and neon clock on the small wall above the counter ticking away as time continued its inevitable flow. She tapped her foot before making her decision to investigate. Maybe Ruby had gone out back to take the trash out and something had happened to her? She felt bad for her feelings of impatience as she slid around the counter and moved over the tiles and thick rubber mats on the floor to make it a little easier for the person working to stand on their feet for that long of a time.

She looked through the glass door into the kitchen seeing no one. She bit her lip pushing it open and walking through. Everything was quiet, silent really. The large fryer wasn't going, the griddle wasn't sizzling nothing. She sighed as she pushed at the back door looking out into the alley but seeing no signs of Ruby gave it up and made her way back out to the main dining room. The large grey door swung back and forth on its hinges as she made her way back around the counter. She knew the waitress was here just a little while ago so where had she gone?

She glanced at the bathrooms past the jukebox and then to the door just to the left of it. She knew Granny's was a rather big diner since it was truly the only place in town most people congregated to. The back rooms were considered party rooms and were only used in special events ie Emma getting elected Sheriff. That had been one hell of a shock. She didn't think Ruby had slipped back there but it was worth a shot. She pushed on the wooden door feeling it give way as she pushed into the dimly lit hall.

"Of course it has be creepy. Couldn't be fucking normal oh no not this horror film waiting to happen," Emma muttered to herself as she moved down the corridor. Her heels tapped on the linoleum as the fluorescent lights overhead flickered every once in a while.

She stopped at the first door and laid her hand on the handle giving it a little push. It didn't give. She sighed and glanced down the hallway. There were only three rooms back here and if she guessed correctly the first two were locked. The third one however stood a tiny bit ajar. She smiled and walked down towards it hearing nothing but the buzzing of the overhead lights until she got closer.

"Oh my god," It was clearly a woman's voice and judging by the breathy quality Emma could only guess what was happening. She didn't recognize the woman's voice but then again she didn't really get to hear voices like that anymore.

"Left that behind in Boston," She whispered under her breath as she slowed her footsteps. Curiosity got the best of her and she slowly peered through the little crack in the doorway.

Her question was now answered about where Ruby was. The pretty sassy brunette was on her knees her little red shorts were discarded leaving her in nothing but a black lace thong. Her white top and bra were gone as well but Emma couldn't help but notice her red high heels were still on. Just like in porn, she thought with a smirk that was quickly wiped off her face.

Her eyes lingered on the hand clutching a tight fistful of dark hair keeping Ruby in her place between her lover's legs. It didn't take much of an imagination for Emma to know what Ruby's mouth was doing to her very female lover. She bit her lip as her eyes trailed over long luscious tan legs. One leg rested on the floor and the other rested on Ruby's right shoulder. The knee of the woman was bent another binding to keep Ruby in her place along with the fist in her hair.

Her eyes moved up and she had to force herself not to jump in shock as her mouth fell open in a gasp. The woman Ruby was currently fucking for all she was worth was none other than Emma's arch nemesis. Regina was still dressed in the outfit Emma had seen her in that day; white blouse and her ever present tight black skirt that was currently pushed up around her hips as she sat on a brown cushioned chair. The tendons in her neck were straining as she leaned her head back her painted red lips parted as she released another breathy moan.

Emma blinked reaching up to rub her eyes to make sure she was seeing right. She knew Ruby was questionable on the straight scale. She figured the bubbly flirty waitress swung both ways but not Regina. That sure slapped her in the face. She figured the Mayor was straight as an arrow. She swallowed as she heard the wet noises coming from Ruby as she gave the mayor what she'd apparently dropped by for. How she'd gotten into the diner without Emma seeing was beyond her but Regina always had her ways of slipping around undetected and in this she was no different.

A loud cry suddenly sounded as the Mayor tensed. Her neck and the small bit of her chest that was exposed flushed with color as she reached her climax. Emma backed away but couldn't keep her eyes completely off the scene in front of her. The fist in Ruby's hair tightened before Regina's leg lifted and was set down with a tiny click of her black high heel. Emma heard the waitress gasp but her hands remained clasped behind her back where they'd been the entire time.

Regina lifted Ruby up until they were almost eye to eye. "Did you enjoy that pet?" The smartly dressed brunette asked the waitress.

"Yes Mistress." Ruby's voice was soft, totally submissive.

Emma's mouth dropped open again in shock as her jade eyes bulged. What the hell was this about? She wondered if she should burst through the door and stop this but she forced herself to stay put. After all she didn't want to embarrass Ruby and there was no telling what Regina would do if she was seen in this compromising position. The Mayor was vicious enough on a regular day, she didn't want to see her if she were to try and corner her. She figured the phrase fighting like a cornered animal would completely apply in this case.

"Then do it correct next time." Regina's voice was cold, her eyes like two glittering amber stones as she glared at the waitress.

Ruby whimpered as the hand in her hair twisted, "Yes ma'am. I'm sorry Mistress." She apologized. Emma felt a pang of sympathy for her finding this whole thing to be totally degrading. She could hear the tears in Ruby's voice and could only imagine them leaking down her cheeks.

"You'd best get it right or I might have to punish you." Regina's voice was deadly.

The waitress shuddered, the hand in her hair keeping her in position until finally it released and Ruby dropped back to the floor. Her hands remained clasped behind her back as she bent low placing her forehead on the floor. "I'm sorry ma'am. I'll do better in the future."

"Perhaps I should punish you so that away I'll be assured of that." The mayor's voice took on a silky sexy quality as though she were enjoying the thought of punishing Ruby for her supposed mistakes. The sheriff knew Regina was one to take pleasure in innocents suffering.

"Please Mistress, I beg of you. Please give me one more chance to correct my mistakes." The pretty waitress begged almost choking on her words.

"You'd best make sure they're corrected or I might find a replacement for you."

Ruby whimpered but didn't say a word. Clearly she was more upset by the thought of being replaced then she was at being punished. Emma was horrified. Was the Mayor forcing Ruby into this? Did Regina have something on the flirty girl and was using it to get her into her bed or in this case on her knees before her? God knows since Graham had died Regina had to go without, was Ruby her replacement? Thoughts swirled inside Emma's head as she backed away but Regina's final words echoed in her ears even as she averted her eyes.

"Kiss my shoe pet. Show me how grateful you are to be mine."
