A/N - Hey guys, so I originally planned for this to be a one shot but I realised that I didn't tag it as complete (my bad) anyway I had an idea for another chapter so decided to continue this as a multi chapter fic. Let me know what you think :)
It had been two weeks since New Year's and for Emma Swan the year so far wasn't exactly going the way that she had planned. She had only seen Henry once and his annoyingly beautiful mother had been avoiding her ever since their tryst on New Year's Eve. Her relationship with Mary Margaret was also strained due to the ever pending love triangle between the brunette and David and Kathryn Nolan, something which Emma had now vowed to stay out of; she had her own problems to worry about. Emma had been watching the clock impatiently for what seemed like hours, this last week had exactly no crimes reported not even so much as a fallen tree. It made the days go by very slowly and with the Mayor now avoiding her Emma didn't even have her impromptu visits to look forward to.
As soon as the clock struck midday Emma hopped out from behind her desk and put up the 'away for lunch' sign which she had carefully designed herself with a piece of paper and a red sharpie. The blonde returned to her desk and pulled out the lunch baggy that she had made for herself that same morning which was full of her favourite snacks, all of which the Mayor would disapprove of, she was sure. She groaned as she opened a bag of Cheetos and popped one into her mouth, why was it that her mind always seemed to drift to Regina lately?
After eating almost the entirety of the food in her lunch bag bar a few chips and a chocolate bar, Emma was finally full. She still had a half hour of her break left and usually she would have gone to Granny's to bug Ruby but today she decided it would be best spent resting. She kicked her feet up onto the desk in front of her and leaned back in her chair, her eyes fluttering closed as she slowly dozed off to sleep.
Regina Mills was not having a good day. It had started off terribly almost as soon as she had woken up, she had argued with Henry about Emma Swan (of course) and it had ended with him not talking to her and refusing to even say goodbye when she had dropped him off at school. Regina had planned to spend the rest of her day burying herself in paperwork to take her mind off of the fragile relationship that she had with her ten year old son however the paperwork which she was planning to do was not there. She should have known that the missing pieces were those from the police department. With a frustrated growl Regina hauled herself from her desk and stormed out of her office, Emma Swan had some serious questions to answer.
The Sheriff's office was quieter than usual, too quiet. Regina's brow furrowed as she made her way to the closed door in front of her and gave an irritated eye roll to the makeshift sign which her eyes were now being insulted by. Ignoring it completely Regina pushed the door open and walked into the room, her eyes setting on the sleeping blonde immediately. "Sheriff Swan, I do not pay you to be sleeping." Regina spoke loudly, fully intending to startle the Sheriff and a satisfied smirk painted her face when she had done just that.
Emma almost shot out of her chair as soon as she heard Regina's voice, her eyes flew open and she quickly whipped her legs from off of the desk and back on to the floor. "Regina, what the hell? Do you not read signs anymore?" Emma huffed and sat up straight in the chair running her hands frantically through her hair and hoping that she didn't look completely awful. "Besides it's my lunch break, I can do whatever I want in my time." She countered back grumpily; the brunette really had no right interrupting her in such a rude way.
Regina walked around the room and continued to watch Emma in amusement until she stopped just in front of her desk and placed her purse onto it being careful to avoid any of the food, drink or other such trash that was littered around the desk. "If you're referring to that piece of garbage stuck on the door then no and it's Madam Mayor to you, Sheriff."
Emma rolled her eyes, what was it with Regina and formalities? "Did you want something, Madam Mayor?"
"I need the full reports of December's crime rates, in fact I needed them two weeks ago yet they still haven't appeared on my desk. Why is that, Sheriff?" Regina asked and raised her hands to rest on her hips as her sharp glare burned into Emma.
"Paper work isn't exactly at the top of my list of priorities." Emma replied somewhat guiltily, she had meant to do it, she really had but every time she went to put pen to paper her mind seemed to wander away to anything but the words in front of her.
"And what is, Miss Swan? As far as I can see your priorities consist of cat naps and making a mess in my once pristine Sheriff's office. And what is that repugnant smell?" Regina scrunched her nose as the smell from Emma's discarded lunch wafted over to her.
Emma smirked and held out the almost empty packet of Cheetos to the brunette. "Cheeto?"
Regina's eyes narrowed even further into the jesting blonde in front of her, a familiar anger bubbling inside of her. Emma Swan knew exactly how to get under her skin and this infuriated her more than anything else. With a firm wave of her hand she managed to knock the packet of chips to the floor which resulted in a grin from Emma which only went on to annoy the Mayor even more than before. "Sheriff!" Regina took a deep breath trying to suppress as much anger that she could before continuing to rant at the blonde. "You need to start taking your job and responsibility of being Sheriff more seriously. I allowed you this role and don't think that I can't take it away from you..."
Emma leant back in her chair as Regina's palms hit the desk in front of her, the anger in the Mayor's eyes and the ever popping vein in her forehead made Emma feel slightly awkward so she drifted her vision lower to a more welcoming sight, that of the Mayor's breasts. Regina was wearing a purple silk blouse which had just the right amount of buttons undone, three to be exact. It took all of a couple of seconds for her to completely zone out from whatever it was that Regina was talking about and to become borderline hypnotized on the way that her chest rose and fell with every word that she spoke.
Regina had a way of observing people and she noticed right away when Emma's eyes patently dropped and started to linger upon her chest. "If you spent even half as much time on your paperwork as you do ogling my breasts then you would've finished it by last week." The lack of reaction from Emma made Regina smile; it seemed that she really did hold some kind of sexual power over the other woman. The brunette pulled herself away from the desk and stood up straight, regaining Emma's focus back on to her face. "Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?"
Emma instinctively stood up and made her way around her desk so she was standing just inches away from the older woman, so what if she caught her staring? Maybe the Mayor shouldn't be so irresistible. "Not really, no. Because listening would mean that I actually care about anything that you have to say."
The sudden closeness between the two women caused Regina to falter a little, her superiority in this situation beginning to feel threatened. She kept her glare strong as an idea began to form in her head. "It seems, Miss Swan that I need to teach you a lesson." She stepped forward and bridged the gap between the two of them, her hand resting on Emma's forearm. "As the only way that I can actually get through to you is physically."
Emma narrowed her eyes at Regina, this new approach unsettling her. "And what lesson would that be, Regina?" She asked suspiciously being sure to emphasis the casual use of the Mayor's birth name.
"Firstly, how to correctly address the Mayor of this town." Regina hummed and let her free hand play with the bottom of Emma's hair, her fingers looping through blonde locks.
Emma glanced down to the Mayor's hand and smiled, she had no idea where this change in behaviour had come from but she certainly wasn't complaining about it. "My apologies, Madam Mayor." She played along, allowing her own hands to wander and seek out the brunette's hips.
"That's much better, Sheriff." Regina smiled before crashing her lips against Emma's, her tongue darting between the small parting in her lips.
A small gasp escaped Emma at the sudden force of lips upon her own, she responded by enclosing her tongue around Regina's and moaning longingly into her mouth. The fire in her stomach continuing to grow at every touch the brunette was giving her. She felt fingers tugging roughly at her jacket and she leant her shoulders back allowing for her jacket to slip down her arms and drop to the floor. As soon as her jacket was removed, Regina's hands gripped tightly on to her tank top and she stumbled backwards into the cell block behind her with Regina still attached to her.
Regina nibbled on the blonde's bottom lip as she pulled the bottom of the black tank top up over her chest, their lips parting for a second before being reunited harshly once Emma's top had been removed. Regina slipped her hands down Emma's body and unhooked the handcuffs from her jeans before unbuttoning them and sliding them down the Sheriff's legs. She dragged her teeth over pink lips and shifted her lips to Emma's ear. "Time for lesson two, Miss Swan." She purred into her ear, nipping and sucking on her earlobe after she had spoken. Regina withdrew herself from Emma and quickly snapped one of the handcuffs onto the blonde's wrist and attached the other one to the bar of the prison cell behind them.
"I never knew you were so kinky, Madam Mayor." Emma drawled and stared at the brunette hungrily, her eyes sodden with lust as her mind began to swirl with the possibilities of what the Mayor was going to do with her.
Regina took a step back and admired the way that Emma was looking at her, a desperate yearning attached to her eyes that made her breathing unsteady. Part of her wanted to ravish her right there and then but that would have to wait until another time, this time she was teaching her a lesson, one that she wouldn't forget in a hurry. "You're quite a sight to behold, Sheriff Swan." The brunette looked her up and down and couldn't help but notice the confidence that the blonde held even when she was standing in just her underwear. Regina smiled evilly, she'd be sure to wipe her of that confidence in just a few moments time. "Such a sight that I feel selfish being the only one to see you in such a position." Regina gleamed with pleasure as she saw the change in Emma's demeanour, the blonde's face turning from extreme lust to extreme anger in a matter of seconds.
Emma started to pull at the cuffs as soon as she realised what Regina was up to. "Damn it Regina!" Emma yelled to apparently deaf ears as Regina did nothing but stare at her with a sickening look of smugness. "You have got to be fucking kidding me? Un cuff me right now!" She tugged harder and winced in pain as she felt the cool metal dig into her wrist.
A raw, slightly sadistic laugh echoed throughout the room as Regina paced back over to Emma and mockingly waved the key in front of her, dodging the swipe of her free hand as it came surprisingly close to grabbing the item of desire. "I'd prefer to just keep you there so I know exactly what you're up to." She let out another cackle before turning her back and wandering back over to Emma's desk where she could get the perfect view of the vulnerable Sheriff of her town.
Emma glared at the brunette, how could she be so stupid as to trust Regina? She should know by now that this woman had absolutely no limits when it came to humiliating her. "You won't get away with this Madam Mayor. Whoever it is that finds me is going to ask how I got here and don't think I won't be telling them everything including what happened on New Year's." She spat forcefully, she really didn't care if people knew about her night spent with Regina however she knew that the brunette most definitely would.
"And what makes you think that anyone would believe a word you say? Especially when you're still practically a stranger in my town." Regina spoke slowly and rubbed the key to the handcuffs between her thumb and forefinger just to tease Emma that little bit more.
"Well Mary Margaret already thinks it's weird that I returned to your house to get my jacket on New Year's Eve when I wasn't even wearing one to begin with. She also found it odd that it took me forty five minutes to do that." Emma spoke confidently, surely Regina wouldn't risk harming her precious reputation as Mayor by leaving her here yet still the brunette seemed to be unfazed. Emma sighed and took on a different approach, one which she really hated to do. "Regina, come on. You can't seriously leave me here." Her eyes widened slightly and her lips pursed to form a small pout.
Emma's act of begging or pity or whatever it was reminded Regina of exactly who it was that she was dealing with. She wasn't like most of the people she had run-ins with, she was stubborn yet she knew when she was fighting a losing battle. In a way she was like a petulant child but somehow she still managed to find the other woman completely compelling. With a soft sigh she slowly made her way over to the pouting blonde and wrapped her hand around Emma's trapped wrist. "My plan was never to leave you here, Miss Swan. It was to simply show you that I could. That I and I alone run this town and you must abide by my rules and my deadlines. Do you understand?" She held a tight grip upon Emma's wrist making sure that she was understood before she even attempted to undo the handcuffs.
The Sheriff turned her head to face Regina, a look of disbelief covering her features. "You really did all this just to teach me a lesson?" She huffed as she noted the serious expression in Regina's eyes and silently cursed herself for being such an idiot not once but about a hundred times in the last ten minutes. "I understand, Madam Mayor." She mumbled and darted her eyes towards the handcuffs to the side of her head.
"You brought this on yourself, Sheriff. If you would've listened to me earlier instead of checking me out then I would never have had to have gone to such methods now, would I?" She placed the key into the lock and undid the handcuffs making sure to do so at a painstakingly slow pace. As Emma was released she dropped the key to the floor and turned her back on the blonde who was rubbing her sore wrist and twisting it in circles to make sure no permanent damage had occurred. Regina claimed her purse from the Sheriff's desk and slipped it onto her shoulder before turning once again to face Emma. "I do hope that you will get that paperwork to me by the end of the week, good day Miss Swan."
As soon as Emma had determined that her wrist was okay and fully functional she scrambled on the floor to find her shirt and pants. She cursed under her breath once again at her foolishness and dressed herself as quickly as she could standing up just in time to see Regina turn to leave. "Reg... Madam Mayor, wait." She called after her and stumbled across the office after her managing to catch her arm before she headed out of the door.
Regina sighed and turned around, her attempt at making a dramatic exit failing entirely. "What is it Miss Swan?"
Emma dropped her hold of the brunette and stood somewhat awkwardly in front of her refraining to say anything for a few seconds, not knowing entirely how to say what it was that she wanted to. "Why do you hate me so much?" She asked lamely and felt about three feet tall under the striking gaze of the Mayor.
For a reason that she didn't quite understand Regina's manner softened and she let out a breath that she was unaware that she had been holding. "I do not hate you, Miss Swan." Her glare weakened and she allowed herself to be honest with the other woman again not knowing entirely why. "I do hate the fact that you have inserted yourself into me and my son's life and I do not appreciate the way that you are trying to take him away from me." Regina frowned after she spoke, not meaning to come across so open or to reveal so much of her inner turmoil to the woman in front of her. "You should be getting back to work, Sheriff Swan." She uttered and turned her back on the blonde before she had time to see her reaction.
Before Emma had time to realise what had just happened the brunette was gone. "Regina?" She yelled out hopelessly, knowing that there was no chance of the Mayor returning now or for quite some time. Seeing Regina so exposed slightly unnerved her, for once she seemed human and not like some crazed robot that refused to call anybody by their real names. She pondered what the brunette had said; her intention was never to take Henry away from his mother. She was a little insulted that Regina thought otherwise, she simply just wanted to be a part in his life. Now that she knew the kid she wanted to see him grow, wanted to be there for all the important things in his life but she would never want to take those opportunities away from Regina either. Emma groaned quietly and made her way over to the pile of paperwork that she needed to complete, maybe if she completed it she could get back into Regina's good books.
