PART 6

"Emma? Emma sweetie, wake up." Emma's eyes blinked open slowly to brown eyes shining down at her. Slowly taking in her surroundings, Emma reached out for Regina's hand, gripping slim fingers tightly.

"Regina? Where are we?" Emma couldn't remember how they got there.

"We're home Emma, we're home and you're safe." Regina stroked her fingers gently down Emma's cheeks, smiling brightly as tears filled her eyes.

"I don't remember getting off the boat," Emma confessed.

"That's ok dear, you were asleep when we left," Regina explained. "Think back, tell me what you remember."

"Ok," Emma started. She closed her eyes, breathing deeply as the night played back in her head.

Her wrists were sore from the ties on the bed; her back was aching at the weird angle she had been sleeping in. The stickiness of her abdomen reminded her of the deep cup on her stomach. She winced as she clenched her abs, feeling the torn skin. She was sweating, no doubt from the stress of being kidnapped even though the room was freezing cold. She shivered, feeling her nipples straining against her bra as goose bumps broke out across her skin. She internally searched her core for any trace of magic, gasping when she felt a sudden shock. It was working. She looked at the ropes around her wrists, concentrating until they disappeared. Emma sat up, stretching gently before standing to look for a way out. Her head spun with dizziness as she swayed slightly to the rocking of the boat. Gripping the posts on the walls, she inched her way towards the door making sure to be quiet and listen for sounds of Hook returning. She made it to the top, breathing in the fresh air.

"Going somewhere love?" Emma's head whipped around seeking out his voice in sheer terror. When her eyes caught his, her blood ran cold. A clear bag dangled from his hook where she could see a bottle of lube, something that looked like a gag and several clothespins. His real hand gripped a large glass bottle of rum. He was grinning wildly.

Emma couldn't find words to say as she broke out in a sprint, attempting to reach the stairs to the boat. Just before she reached the first step, a strong hand gripped her arm, pulling her back onto the boat.

"I don't think so, Swan," Hook leered. "You are staying with me. We can have some fun while we wait for our supplies to get here as we head off to live our lives on the sea." Emma could feel her heart pounding, her adrenaline rushing and her head throbbing. She closed her eyes again, searching for the magic she felt before, knowing that she needed to stay calm to use it. She took a deep breath and forced herself to block out the sound of Hook's laughter. Feeling her magic hit the surface of her skin, she smiled before opening her eyes again. Hook yelped at the burning of magic under his palm, releasing his grip on Emma's arm.

Grinning, Emma replied with "I'm not going anywhere with you." She lifted her hands, shooting magic at his chest. Hook flew backwards and hit the deck. His eyes exposed the fear he was trying to hide. He stood up, inching his way towards Emma.

"Come now, love, you don't have to do this."

"Yes I do Hook. I want you out of my life once and for all. I won't let you control me anymore!" Emma pushed her magic out with every ounce of energy she had left in her body, no longer caring about what happened to her. She needed to protect her family and the world from this monster. She felt the bright white magic pouring from her body, sucking the energy from her as it blasted into Hook. The last thing she saw was Hook's neck snapping with a sickening crack.

"You're alright now darling," Regina whispered.

"How did you find me?" Emma gripped Regina's hand tighter now, feeling overwhelmed with exhaustion.

"We found your bracelet and I just knew he had taken you. I am so sorry we didn't to you sooner, my love." The tears that welled in Regina's eyes spilled out down her cheeks.

"No Regina, this wasn't your fault. And you saved me. I'm home now and that's all that matters." Emma's free hand traced the place on her stomach where Hook had cut her. There was nothing there. Regina had healed her.

"I know that I healed you on the outside Emma, but I can only hope to heal you on the inside one day." Regina kissed her cheek and then her forehead, holding Emma close to her chest.

"You did it once Regina, you'll do it again. I love you so much," Emma tilted her head up to catch Regina's lips with her own. "Where is he?" Regina looked away before answering.

"He's dead Emma." As realization flooded through Emma, Regina held her tighter, knowing that Emma's big heart would feel guilty for taking a life, even in self-defense. Emma simply nodded before resting her body back against Regina's chest.

"And Henry?"

"He's with your parents for the night. You need to recover and I need to hold you all night long. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if he had taken you away. I need you in my life Emma Swan."

"I need you too Regina Mills. I love you."

"I love you too."

Emma let Regina guide her up the stairs and into the en suite. They sat on the edge of the tub as warm water filled the bottom. When the water level was high enough, Regina stripped Emma and herself of their clothes and slipped into the bath. She pulled Emma to sit between her legs. Emma relaxed back into Regina's chest, humming happily as Regina's fingers drew soft patterns on her stomach.

Regina grabbed the body wash from the ledge and began to gently rub the dirt from Emma's body, taking her time to give every inch of her body extra attention. Emma squirmed in her arms as Regina's fingers lingered on Emma's inner thighs. Her breath hitched when Regina began peppering kisses on her neck. A moan slipped from her lips when Regina's hand brushed up her sides to grasp full breasts.

"Regina?"

"Yes, Emma?"

"Touch me," Emma whispered. "Please." Regina responded with a moan of her own, letting her hands roam Emma's body, fingers tweaking nipples, teeth tugging on the skin under Emma's ear and her feet moving to separate Emma's legs. Both of Emma's legs hung over Regina's bent legs exposing Emma to Regina's wandering fingers completely. As Regina's fingers finally reached their destination at the apex of Emma's thighs, Emma gasped, her hips bucking to meet Regina's slender fingers. The sounds of heavy breathing, moans and lips meeting filled the air. As two fingers entered Emma's quivering hole, she cried out, feeling her orgasm building quickly. Regina held a steady pace as she thrust her fingers in and out of Emma, basking in the feel of Emma's walls clenching around her fingers. Emma's orgasm crashed through her body, her limbs trembling against Regina's taut body. Regina continued thrusting her fingers gently in and out of Emma, allowing her orgasm to slowly fade out. When Regina removed her fingers, Emma swiftly turned around and captured Regina's lips in a passionate kiss.

"Marry me," she whispered. Regina's eye widened; she was not expecting that.

"What?"

"Marry me, Regina Mills," Emma repeated. "Every time Hook referred to me as his wife, all I could think about was making you my wife. There's no one else in this world that I would want to be connected to in that way. I want to walk down the aisle in front of our friends and family and meet your stunning smile. I want to live in this house with you and Henry for the rest of our lives. I want to buy you a ring and take you on a honeymoon. I want to have the honor of worshiping your body every single day. I want to call myself Emma Swan-Mills or Emma Mills-Swan. I want to share my life with you Regina. There's no one I'd rather be with and I think you feel the same. Marry me, Regina. I mean, if-if you want to, that is." Regina's eyes were filled with tears again but this time they were happy tears. She was no longer focusing on the fear she felt at the near loss of Emma.

"Oh Emma," she said. "I would love nothing more than to be your wife. Of course I'll marry you!" Regina took Emma's face in her hands, peppering tiny kisses all over her face. "Yes, yes, yes!" She let her happy tears fall.
