Adult game of hide and seek results in some Swan Queen goodness.

First OUAT fan fic. One shot. Told from Emma's POV. Set after the curse but everyone gets along. Katherine is alive. People are drinking so inhibitions are lowered.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or make any money off of their adventures.

Many thanks to H and Hunny for getting me to consider writing again. Let's begin, shall we?

There's nothing like a good pool party. Lemme rephrase that, a good adult pool party. Summertime in Storybrooke was a time everyone looked forward to and today was one of those burn your skin to a crisp kindof days that we all imagine during the rainy Maine year. Ruby was hosting her first pool party at the new house her and Belle had just bought. Almost everyone in town was there. I had convinced my mom to keep Henry overnight which didn't take much convincing since her skin caught fire with even the smallest sliver of sunshine. Time seemed to slip away that day and before we all knew it, the stars started appearing and a soft breeze began to blow. For a humid day, it was heaven on the skin.

Since pretty much everyone in the town was there except my parents and other old fogies who either burned or had a 9 o'clock bedtime, that meant our prestigious Mayor was in attendance. Now, I could say seeing her in a black bikini with Jackie Kennedy sunglasses on had no affect on me, but once the sun set and she took off those glasses, there was something about the way the pool water bounced off the small glittery stones on the top half of her bikini top that made her eyes sparkle in a way that caught my attention. Who knew the Mayor could look so relaxed and carefree? I was in the pool playing a game of makeshift volleyball with a beach ball when the sound of her laughter reached my ears. I looked over to see her and Katherine sharing a laugh about something. Everything seemed to stand still and I think i noticed her for the first time. Like really noticed her as a woman and not the Evil Queen/Mayor persona. Her hair was slightly damp and pulled over to the left side, her right hand gestured slightly to emphasize what was apparently something funny in her story, her other hand held a half-full glass of wine, and her legs were stretched out on the chaise lounge she currently resided in. For a brief moment, I saw an attractive woman with a disarming, genuine smile. That thought was blurred once the beach ball bounced off my sunburnt nose and Mulan slapped the water as she burst out laughing. Yeah, yeah, it's all fun and games until someone gets distracted by sexy legs. I gotta admit, the alcohol was flowing and all of us were pretty tipsy by the time Ruby suggested we play hide and seek. Why else would a bunch of grown ass adults go running off in all directions screaming "Not it!". Poor old Archie and Granny were the last two by the pool so they automatically got teamed up for the first round. Where else could a cricket and a wolf be the seekers in an adult game of hide and seek where the other players are fairytale characters? Niiiiiiice.

The surround sound outside was blaring music trying to muffle the sounds of giggles and bushes rustling. No, that's not a metaphor. There were people trying to hide in the bushes while wearing next to nothing. Needless to say, the music came in handy. In my buzzed stupor, I decided to stay away from the pointy needles on said bushes and head to the pool house. Well, it was more of a shed that Rubes had thrown all of her crap in and left a few feet of open space for people to shimmy out of their wet swimwear.

I opened the door and stepped inside and started to hide beside the only tall shelf in there. I thought maybe I could blend in with the shadows since Ruby had practically blocked the only small window with her storage boxes. I heard Archie and Granny approach the door and quickly moved to get out of view. I bumped into something that was most definitely not a storage box. It was warm and made noise. I couldn't see who it was but I smelled merlot. The door handle creaked and I pushed the warm body back deeper into the shadows.

Our lovely Mayor gasped at having her lower back rammed into the low lying counter than ran across that part of the wall. I grabbed her waist and whirled her around so that her stomach was now pressing into the counter. I heard her indignant huff and reached around with my left hand to cover her mouth. Since I was wearing black board shorts with a black tank top, I thought if I blocked both of us, it reduced our chances of being caught. Who doesn't want to win any game? I'm a fierce competitor.

Archie and Granny stepped into the small space and did a quick search while I tightened the palm around the Mayor's open mouth. I tried to control my breathing but all I was aware of was how soft her lips were against my palm, how the hand holding onto the side of her waist was slowly rubbing circles across the tight material under my fingers and how my nose was being tickled by the hair in front of me. It seemed like Archie and Granny were behind us for hours when in fact it had only been a few seconds. As they turned to walk out the door, I could hear their voices changing direction and fading.

My head leaned forward and came to rest on the back of Regina's head. We stayed like that for a few moments and really, had no reason to stay in that position but my head was spinning from the mixture of Jack Daniels coursing through my veins and the heat of the woman in front of me. Bad judgement calls are born from that combination. I wondered if she could hear my heartbeat pounding through my chest into her back. When did she start making me feel this way? I went to, albeit reluctantly, move the palm covering her mouth when the most delicious feeling in the world happened. I felt a warm tongue slowly drag a path from the bottom of my palm all the way to the top. Fuck.

My hand on her waist tightened and I pulled her closer to me. It was probably a bit rougher than it should have been but judging by her whimper, it didn't matter. I felt her move her head to the side so I leaned forward and lightly grazed my teeth across the middle of her neck. She pulled her lips back from my hand just enough to bite the heel of my palm. Oh it was so on. She took her hands that had been hanging at her side and placed them on the counter in front of her bracing herself. As she moved her legs apart, she ground her ass slowly back against me. I don't know if it was the alcohol, confined spaces, or that damn skimpy bikini that set off the next chain of events but in the heat of the moment, no explanation mattered.

My right hand started slipping just under the waistband of her bikini where the skin was slightly cool from her recent jump in the pool. I heard her gasp at the warm contact and quickly moved my palm to once again press tightly around her mouth. What kind of fun would we get to have if people heard us and interrupted? I swear I tried to be patient but I wanted to feel her immediately. My body was pulsing with every little noise she made. I started dragging my curled fingers roughly down her skin until finally I slid over a small patch of short hair and down into the warm wetness below. I think I stopped breathing for a few moments when I felt how drenched she was. I couldn't help the growl that came from deep within my chest. I drew all four fingers back up slowly and dragged her wetness over the hard ball of nerves at her center but she was impatient and wiggled her ass back into me.

I took my middle finger and rubbed it against her clit several times and felt her push her face into my palm. As I slipped my finger inside of her, her scent filled my nostrils and I could feel her clench around me. I gripped the sides of her cheeks hard and bit down on her shoulder as I felt her start to move her hips up and down on my finger. With each downward motion, her clit rubbed against my hand and I heard her start taking short breaths as her movements quickened. On a whim, I moved my hand up to cover her nose and felt her back arch against me as she threw her head back and started pulsing around my finger. Everything about her surrounded me and I couldn't get enough. I wanted to stay in that moment and feel her surrender time and time again. When I felt her relax, I removed the hand that was covering her mouth and heard her take in a quick, shaky breath. She stayed slumped back against me until her breathing returned to normal.

I wanted to say something, anything, maybe tell her how great she felt or how turned on I was feeling her shake against me. Instead, I was silent and just listened to her breathing. I was just about to move away from her but realized my finger was still inside of her. I slowly started withdrawing it and heard her moan in aggravation. Even though it was dark, I think she still felt my smirk against her neck. I slowly but deliberately brought my wet fingers up to her lips and slipped my index finger inside her mouth. The sounds that woman made still haunt my dreams.

Her left hand lifted back to grip my hair as her tongue swirled around my finger, cleaning it until there was nothing left. I closed my eyes and imagined what that tongue could do to another part of me. I wanted to spin her around, lift her onto the counter and make her scream my name but a triumphant sound outside let us know the first round of hide and seek was over. Our hiding place might soon be inhabited by someone trying to win the next round. Were we even still participating?

Her fist released my hair and as I wrapped both arms around her waist and tightened my grip, she put both of her arms over mine and sighed. I didn't know if that moment would ever happen again or if she would regret letting her libido overrule her rationality but I held on for as long as I could. Because when the sun rose the next morning, the memories might be all I had. I had just made the Mayor cum all over my hand and never once kissed her or said one word. It was oddly intimate yet impersonal.

As we let each other go, I heard her snap her bikini bottoms back in place and clear her throat. As she turned around, I moved to back up so we could leave but she took a quick step forward and placed a hand on my throat. I closed my eyes wondering what she might say or do but felt her tilt my neck to the side and run her nose from the bottom of my throat to the top. She then repeated the motion with that same warm, wet tongue that had just licked her juices off of my finger. Just as quickly as she started, it was over and I felt the breeze from the outside hit my back as the door to the pool house opened. I stood there for a moment and slowly started nodding my head. Oh yeah, we need to have more adult games of hide and seek. There were alot more spots on the Mayor I needed to explore.
