A/N: Hello! I'm here with Chapter 2 my lovelies!

A special thank you to Eblane for the wonderful message. Thanks so much. It made me feel special.

CHAPTER 2

Ruby grinned as Emma entered the diner, looking flustered. "So, did you and Regina have fun?" she winked.

Emma looked at her, caught off guard. "What?"

The werewolf rolled her eyes, "Oh come on! Everyone knows the handcuffs were just a cover. So what'd you get up to?"

"Nothing."

Ruby nodded in understanding, "She left you on the edge, huh?"

Emma sat on one of the counter stools, letting out a heavy sigh. "Yeah."

Her friend winced, "Ooh, tough luck."

"Nothing hot chocolate and cinnamon can't fix."

Ruby headed into the kitchen, "Coming right up!" she called back.

"Emma, there you are!"

The blonde turned, seeing her parents walk towards her. "Hey Mum, hey Dad."

Mary Margret smiled, "Hey," she looked around, "Where's Regina?"

Emma sighed, "She had to go to the office. Something about paperwork."

"Oh, that's too bad. Well, when you see her could you tell her that we've invited her to dinner tonight?"

Emma raised a brow, "Really? I mean, you guys have been civil with her for a while, but I didn't think you'd actually ever invite her to dinner."

"Well, David and I talked it over and we thought that since you and Regina are a couple, we should make an effort to make her feel like part of the family."

"Well… I'll tell her when I go over to her place for lunch."

Mary Margret placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Thank you, Emma, and I promise we won't embarrass you."

"Don't worry, I don't think there's anything you could do to embarrass me." There's just a million ways I can embarrass myself.

OOO

Regina glanced up as she heard the office door open and close. "Emma, come to join me for lunch?"

Emma smiled, placing a foam box in front of the mayor. "Just like always." She sat in the chair opposite her girlfriend, putting her own foam box in her lap. "Oh, by the way," she opened the box, "My parents invited you over for dinner tonight."

Regina blinked, opening her own box and letting the hot food cool. "Really?"

"I know, crazy right?"

"Well at least they're trying to be accepting."

Emma held her hand, "Well it's kind of hard for them. But hey, you get along better with them now, don't you?"

Regina shrugged, "I suppose you have a point." She shifted in her seat, "But they wouldn't be so accepting if…"

"If they knew their daughter was in a BDSM relationship with The Evil Queen?"

The brunette's lip curled into a sly smile. "Now Emma, watch what you're saying. I'm not evil."

Emma narrowed her eyes in a half-hearted glare. "Really? You got me so worked up back there and we didn't even fully play."

Regina licked her lips, her eyes darkening. "Oh, do you want to play, Miss Swan?" She rose from her chair, walking around the desk, deliberately taking her time. "Because I want nothing more than to make you suffer."

"Oh God, babe…"

She clutched underneath her chin, forcing Emma's eyes up to meet hers, "It's…Your Majesty."

Emma drew a sharp breath. She didn't realize that Regina had switched to Mistress Mode. Damn it, Swan! She cleared her throat, "S-Sorry."

"I want to degrade you, make you sore and completely sorry for what you did this morning, my pet. In fact," she bent her head and lowered her voice to a whisper, "I'd make it so tonight, you couldn't even look me in the eye when we're having dinner with your parents. You'd blush too hard."

Emma's mouth went dry, "Fuck…"

Regina suddenly smiled and stroked the soft flesh under the blonde's chin with her nails. "But I'm not going to do any of that." She straightened, the smile staying on her face, "Because I'm afraid I have too much work to do."

"You fucking tease!"

Regina's smile only grew, "Sorry Emma, but I have a lot of paperwork to finish. If you want to blame someone, blame the town."

Emma snorted, folding her arms. "You're not being fair."

Going back to sit at her desk, the brunette answered. "I never said I was. Now, what time am I expected at dinner?"

A/N: Honestly, I feel really bad for Emma right now.

So far this is just a slow build up to the huge disaster that happens. I hope you're all excited for Chapter 3, a.k.a: the dinner chapter.

Expect: some Regina / Snow conversations, a sexually frustrated Emma, double meanings, and Charming failing at cooking.
