A/N: Hey guys. First off I wanna thank y'all for the reviews, favs and follows. Thanks for sticking with me through this journey :). Sorry this took so long but I was having a really hard time sorting through Emma and Regina's emotions. They're very passionate women but also very complicated. So this chapter is mostly them dealing with their feelings. There's some smut here so heads up and a little fluffy stuff (but I promise I stuck to their personalities). As always I don't own any of these characters. Still a betaless betty so all mistakes are mine. Okay, so let's get to chapter 6!
Chapter 6
Emma found herself lying awake, heart racing as she tried to fight back the swirling shadows flooding her soul. She pulled the body in her arms closer; pressing her front closer to the woman's back. she buried her face in the woman's neck, deep into her dark hair and inhaled the smell of her shampoo. This woman was the only thing that kept her grounded, the only thing that kept her tethered to the light, away from the darkness and that was a very comforting feeling.
She finally tried to close her eyes, giving up on trying to relieve some of the weight on her heart. The sound of the door swinging wide open and hitting the wall jolted her awake. Raising her head up slightly she saw a shadow standing in the door way, she blinked a few times trying to get her eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room. Her heart was racing. It felt like it was coming out of her chest. Who the hell? Finally getting her breathing in control she sat up and reached over to the lamp on the night stand beside her turning on the light trying to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
Her heart stopped briefly when she realized who was standing there. "Henry, what the hell?" she peeked over Regina at the clock on the nightstand on her side. "It's 2am. How did you get here? What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same." He spat.
"Not so loud, you'll wake your mother." she whispered. What the hell is he doing here?
"What are you doing in bed with her anyway?" he snapped. "What are you doing here?"
Emma felt Regina stir beside her; she knew the woman was exhausted. They both were and she certainly didn't want her to be woken up out of her sleep to this. "Henry, you have to calm down."
"No!" He screamed. "All this time I thought something bad had happened to you and you were just here."
"Emma, what is…?" Regina groaned. "What the hell…?" she sat up starting to turn towards the blonde but froze when she saw her son standing in the doorway. "Henry, what are you doing? It's late."
"What am I doing? What are you guys doing?" he growled, hands balling into fist.
"Kid…" Emma started but Henry waved her off.
He turned to his dark haired mother. "Why didn't you tell me she was okay? How long has she been here?"
"Um…" Regina started.
"How long has she been back?" he asked again.
"A few days." Regina sighed.
"And you didn't say anything? You just let me worry?" a thought occurred to him. "Was she back when I saw you a few days ago?" Regina just bit her bottom lip and nodded. "How could you lie right to my face?"
Emma couldn't sit by and let Regina take the fall for this. "Henry, you need to…"
That's when he completely snapped. "You're always lying and keeping things from me. You're always trying to manipulate everyone around you. You're still a liar and a villain, you never changed and you never will. Selfish people like you never change."
Emma's eyes fell on Regina and even in the darkness on her side of the room she saw the lone tear run down her cheek. If anyone could hurt Regina it was definitely their son. She breathed for only him. He was her world and he knew that, that made his words hurt even more. She felt her anger rising, not at him but at herself for putting Regina in that situation, she turned back to her son. "Watch it Henry, you're talking to your mother." she reached over and started rubbing soothing circles on Regina's back who had buried her face in her hands and was slightly shaking.
"She's not my mother." he spat. "Neither are you. My mother was a hero; she would never lie to me and hide from me and let me think something terrible happened to her. She would never be so selfish. You're nothing but another monster just like her." He pointed at his other mother.
"Okay that's it." Emma said swinging her legs over the side of the bed.
"What? are you coming to hit me?" Henry asked with a challenge in his voice. "I wouldn't be surprised, that's what villains do. All they do is hurt people." he shrugged, taking a few steps into the room.
"No." Emma said standing from the bed. "We're going to go talk somewhere else."
"Emma…" she heard Regina whisper, the pain in her voice evident.
She looked back at her girlfriend's tear streaked face and she felt a tightening in her chest. "Its okay baby, I'll talk to him. Just lay back down and I'll be right back." When the brunette nodded and did just that she turned her attention to her son. "Out! Right now!"
He shook his head. "I'll just leave. I don't want to talk to you or see you." He pointed at his other mother. "Or her, ever again." He started to back away but she caught up to him.
"Henry, this whole thing is my fault. I asked her not to tell you because I'm dangerous and I knew you would want to see me. I did it to protect you." She said, eyes pleading.
"I don't care." He said shaking his head. "You're a liar. Both of you are. I wish she never adopted me and I never came to find you."
She heard Regina gasp. That's when she felt the anger resurface, she tried to push it down but couldn't. "Okay, that's enough." She ground out. "You are hurting Regina." She reached for him but he snatched his hand away.
"Don't touch me." He screamed backing away again. "Just go away. Both of you, we don't need you." He paused staring at her, anger and defiance in his eyes. "I hate you."
Her anger overpowered the hurt and shock and it was boiling over, she reached for him trying to grab him again but a force of black smoke shot from her hand into him, pushing him back out of the room, across the hallway and straight into a wall. She gasped when she saw his back and head hit the wall. The wind was visibly knocked out of him. She immediately started making her way over to him but Regina beat her to it by teleporting herself to his side.
"Regina, I don't know…." She whispered watching the brunette look over their son who was sprawled out on the floor motionless. "I-Is he okay?"
"He's breathing." Regina said not looking up from him.
"I am so sorry. I could have hurt him." Emma mumbled looking down at her hands. They looked normal. They still looked like her hands but they didn't feel like it. They felt like they belonged to someone or something else. Something evil.
"Could have?" she heard Regina snap. She looked back at her and instantly saw the fire in the deep brown eyes. "He's unconscious. You could have…" she paused closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "Killed our son."
"I know and I am so sorry. This is why I didn't…" Before she could finish the sentence Regina and a still unconscious Henry were engulfed in purple smoke. Emma just watched as they disappeared.
There she was left in the empty dark mansion worrying if her son will be okay and if she had lost Regina for good as she felt herself once again being dragged into darkness.
Emma shot straight up in the bed struggling to catch her breath. She ran her fingers through her hair, completely shaken up by her nightmare. She looked over and groaned when she saw that Regina was no longer beside her. She will never understand how that woman detangles herself from her death grips every morning. She really needed her right now.
All that that dream confirmed was that she needed to stay away from Henry. She's going to take it as a warning. She has to protect him and Regina. If she ever hurt their son again she knows she would lose Regina and herself afterwards. She has to keep them safe. That's the only thing that truly matters right now.
Climbing out of the bed she walked over to the suitcase her parents had brought her with some of her clothes in it, she started to open it when she spotted a note on top of it. She picked it up and read it. "Good morning, I took the liberty of unpacking your things and putting them in my dresser. Top 2 drawers are yours." She grinned as she walked over to the dresser and pulled one open finding her underwear in that one; she pulled a pair out and proceeded to pull an outfit out of the one underneath it.
She shook her head with another grin on her lips as she envisioned the brunette unpacking her things and neatly placing them into the drawers. The once cold hearted Evil Queen playing the role of the affectionate caring wife. The thought of that caused the grin to turn into a full smile. Their relationship has already started to feel like more than just simply dating. It wasn't only the fact that they were living together but it was also the fact that it felt like the most natural thing in the world. The comfort they both felt around each other was as if they had been living together for years and had been in an official relationship for decades. It was like they were supposed to occupy the same space, eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed every night. Emma had no idea how she was supposed to go back home to her parents when this was all over, even though they would still be a couple and would probably still have regular sleepovers but it wouldn't be the same as waking up in their bed every single morning. She just knew that she wanted to be with Regina as much as possible especially at night. That's another thing they needed to discuss but she had no idea how she would bring it up without sounding clingy so she decided to leave it alone for now.
She pushed those worries to the back of her mind as she headed to the bathroom. That's a concern for another day. Her smile returned when she thought about how the woman occupying her thoughts was probably downstairs making another huge, very delicious breakfast at that very moment.
After showering and getting dressed she headed own stairs just like the first time she spent the night in the mansion. When she reached the bottom step she almost collided with the brunette.
"Whoa, where's the fire?" Emma teased opening her arms; she leaned in for a kiss but frowned when the brunette dodged her lips.
"In the kitchen." Regina replied, and when the blonde's eyebrows shot into her hairline she sighed. "Your son is here."
"Shit." Emma yelped as she turned to run back up the steps and make a break for the bedroom. What was the irony that he would show up right after that nightmare? All the more reason to stay away from him. She may just be being superstitious but she wasn't going to risk it.
"Mom?" The voice caused both women to freeze. "What are you…?"
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Regina turned around slowly. "Yes, sweetheart?" she sighed. "I can explain."
His gaze drifted around her and his eyes widened when they landed on his blonde mother. "Mom!" he screamed excitedly running passed his other mother. Emma turned just in time to catch him as he ran into her arms.
She instantly wrapped him in a tight hug. "Hey kid." She hadn't realized how badly she missed him until this moment when she had him in her arms. Everything had been moving so fast she barely even had time to think about how much she truly missed him. Fear crept into the back of her mind when flashes of the nightmare returned. She had to talk to Regina about this.
"Are you okay?" He asked pulling away and looking up at her.
"Yeah. I'm fine, just a little tired." She lied. She couldn't tell him how afraid she was.
"Are you sure?" he asked. His brows furrowed. "You don't seem like it."
"Yeah." She said forcing a smile. "Just excited to be back, you know."
He hesitated before returning the smile. "Yeah. When did you get back?"
Emma looked up at Regina, clearly panicking. The brunette just nodded and reached out placing a hand on her son's shoulder, he turned to face her. "Henry, why don't you give your mother and I a moment? Besides your breakfast is getting cold."
He nodded before turning back to Emma. "I'm glad you're back." He said with another smile before heading down the few steps and heading back towards the kitchen.
Regina watched her son until she was sure he was out of earshot before turning back to the blonde and offering a small smile. "How was that?" she opened her arms and Emma immediately stepped into them. "Are you okay?"
Emma sighed wrapping her arms around Regina's lower back and resting her chin on her shoulder. She was immediately met with the soothing scent of the woman's perfume. "Okay, I guess. I just wasn't ready. I'm a little nervous."
"Why?" Regina asked softly tightening her hold on the blonde.
"Do you have a few hours for me to read the entire list?" Emma asked dryly followed by a dark laugh. She felt Regina stiffen against her. "I'm kidding but seriously I'm afraid I'll hurt our son."
Regina hummed. "Oh that. You won't. I promise."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I know you. You could never."
"You knew who I used to be."
"No. I know who you are." Regina said pulling away. She cupped the blonde's face in her hands. "Do you trust me?"
Emma nodded. "With my life." She answered honestly.
Regina smiled when her eyes locked on clearly frightened green ones. Her heart nearly exploded at the sound of those three words. She couldn't express how much it meant to her that Emma Swan who had so much trouble trusting people and opening up to them would put so much faith in her. "Good," she placed a quick kiss to the other woman's lips. "Then trust me when I say our son is perfectly safe with you."
Emma closed her eyes and before opening them she muttered a quick. "Okay."
Regina kissed her again quickly before removing her hands and stepping back. "Okay. Now come on before he catches us and we have to explain this to him." She said turning and heading back to the kitchen.
Emma caught up to her and leaned in; brushing against Regina's back slightly as she whispered, "We're going to have to tell him eventually." before placing her hand on the other woman's behind.
The brunette swatted her hand away. "Not today, now go spend some time with your son."
When they walked into the kitchen Henry was stuffing more French toast into his mouth. Emma sat next to him at the island. "Breathe kid." She teased. "It's not going to run away."
"Mom makes the best French toast." He stated proudly. "And pancakes and pretty much everything."
Emma raised both of her eyebrows just as Regina sat a plate in front of her. She looked up at her and smiled. "Thank you." the brunette threw her a quick wink.
"You're welcome." Regina said sliding the syrup to Emma. "And don't drown them in it."
Emma snorted. "I know what I want to drown in." she wagged her eyebrows.
Regina's eyes shot to her son who had his face in the plate clearly oblivious to the statement. She rolled her eyes at the blonde. "Anyway… children, if you'll excuse me I have to go make a phone call."
"To who?" Regina heard Emma call after her.
"Maleficent." This was a lie. She actually had to call Snow. She just wanted to tease Emma. In all honesty she wanted her to have a little time alone with their son.
Silence fell over the kitchen as Emma took her first bite of the French toast. She groaned as the flavor exploded in her mouth. "Oh you weren't kidding. This is great."
"Told you." Henry laughed. His laugh died as his face turned serious. He turned to his mother as she raised the fork to her mouth again. "Where have you been all this time?" he asked innocently.
Emma almost choked. She turned to him eyes softening. Deciding it best to be honest. She'll just deal with the consequences. "Listen, I've been hiding out here with your mom, I asked her not to tell you I was around because I don't trust myself. I don't even trust myself around her but she can protect herself with magic."
He fell silent. Brows drawing together deep in thought. "You're not evil, Mom." He concluded picking up on her worry.
"I'm not."
He smiled at her revelation. "So come home."
"It's not that simple. I can't be around you and Neal."
"You're around me now."
"Because I'm calm. What if I get upset?"
He nodded thoughtfully. "Okay. I don't like it though. I want you home." He stated calmly. "Neal misses you too I can tell."
Emma smiled. She avoided telling him she had just seen her baby brother the night before. "I'll be back with you two trolls in no time."
Henry laughed. "You better."
"Look Henry, I need you to take it easy on your mom and grandparents." her tone turning serious. "I asked them to lie to you. I'm really sorry."
He nodded knowingly. "It's fine. You were doing it to protect me. All of you."
She let go of the breath she didn't even realize she was holding. She found herself smiling at her son again. Beyond proud of the man he became. A few years ago he would've been angry but instead he's being so mature and understanding. "Thanks kid."
After breakfast Emma and Henry migrated to the living room where they found Regina on the couch flipping through Henry's storybook. She didn't even realize they entered the room until they plopped down on each side of her on the couch.
"What are you looking for?" Henry asked looking over her shoulder.
"Nothing. Just trying to see if there's anything about Camelot or Merlin in here."
He shook his head. "No. There are mostly Enchanted Forest stories in there." He paused. "But there is mention of Excalibur." He laughed when his mothers turned to him expectantly. "You remember when Grandpa tricked Grandma into thinking she had it so she could defeat you?"
Regina snorted. "How could I forget? She cut my face with that thing."
"Wait, what?" Emma asked clearly confused.
Regina waved it off. "It's a 'you had to be there' type of thing."
"Or actually have read my book." Henry chimed in.
Emma snatched the book from Regina's lap and started flipping through it. "I have read it, thank you very much."
"You only read it when we come in contact with a new character." Henry said nudging his other mother, who was smirking at the blonde.
"You two are going to team up on me now?" Emma chuckled. "jerks." When that caused Henry to chuckle as well, she narrowed her eyes at him. "Fine." She said handing the book to him. "You two can exclude me from your little "Fairytale Secret Club" if you want."
Regina turned to her, clearly amused. "Are you really pouting Emma?"
"No." Emma replied crossing her arms faking hurt.
"Anyway." Regina said turning back to Henry. "I spoke with your Grandmother."
"Is she mad?" He asked eyes growing wide. "That I left without asking?"
"Snow mad?" she shook her head. "No. Worried sick because she had no idea where you were? Yes." She waved that off not really wanting to scold him at that moment. "Anyway, she said that Granny agreed to watch over you and Neal while we're in Camelot and Belle agreed to help her."
"I could help, you know. In Camelot." He offered.
Regina nodded. "I know you can but I need you here, to protect the town."
"And Neal." Emma added.
He hesitated before nodding in agreement. "Okay."
Regina reached out and pulled him into a hug. "My brave boy. I can't even call you that anymore because you're no longer a boy. My brave man." She placed a kiss in his hair before letting him go. She locked eyes with him. "I promise we will be just fine."
"I know." He said confidently. "Will I see the two of you before you leave?"
"Yep." Emma replied. "We won't leave until we say goodbye to you." She hesitated for a moment before adding. "We won't be gone long and when I get back I'll be as good as new."
"I know. We'll defeat this. Good always defeats evil and you both are good." He said with a small smile.
Henry's visit lasted through the day and both of his mothers were in heaven the entire time. Their little boy seated between them as they talked and snacked. Regina and Henry occasionally teasing Emma and getting a good laugh at her responses. He brought a lot of light to the darkness both of them had been battling with but of course the time came when he had to return to his grandparent's house. Emma took him there and spent a few hours with her parents.
Regina took the time to get her thoughts in order. Her mind was everywhere. From the slight nervousness of what they may encounter in Camelot to what will happen while they're gone and will the town be safe to her blossoming romance with Emma. She groaned internally every time her thoughts found their way back to the adorable blonde. Those piercing green eyes that seemed to change color with every emotion, the pink lips that would press to hers with such hunger and need but yet with equal softness and gentleness, those soft hands that would find themselves in her own, fingers interlacing themselves with hers so tightly it was like they were trying to fuse their hands together.
Regina recognized this feeling in her chest. The unmistakable feeling she thought she left behind with Daniel just to be replaced with an intense pain after his death. She thought she would never feel that way ever again. She certainly didn't feel it with Robin but here was Emma barging into her life bringing all of those feelings back.
She didn't know whether to be angry at the blonde or herself for falling so easily. Her cheeks grew hot as she thought of how her body responds to the woman's touch and how her heart races every time their lips meet. It's time for her to stop fighting these feelings and just accept them for what they were. She knew Maleficent was right. She's just not ready to say them out loud. She wasn't ready to open her heart but it obviously didn't care. Her heart was wide open sucking the younger woman inside.
They will have plenty of time for that when they get back. More time to sort through their feelings. More time to actually sit and talk about them. More time to just be together. Well unless Emma decides to go home to her parents when everything goes back to normal. She really didn't want her to go back home. Having gotten so used to falling asleep in the ex Savior's arms these past few days and frankly she can't remember the last time she's gotten a full night's sleep before she started sleeping with her. She wondered how she'll be able to go back to those nights when as soon as she closed her eyes she was plagued with nightmares or memories from her past. The blonde's presence seemed to keep them at bay. They both needed those moments together. The cuddling, the quick kisses and quiet whispers. Sure they'll spend nights together even if they didn't live together but it wouldn't be the same. Regina knew that she wanted Emma to stay but she certainly didn't want to make her feel like she was trapping her.
The front door slamming jolted her out of her thoughts.
"Honey I'm home!" she heard Emma call from the foyer. Regina just rolled her eyes and leaned back on the couch. "Seriously?" she heard Emma yell. "Baby, you're supposed to come greet me at the door when I say that." She could hear the pout in her voice.
She rolled her eyes again, suppressing a smile before getting up and heading out of the study. When she entered the foyer Emma immediately spread her arms and Regina had to stop herself from running straight into them. When she was finally close enough the blonde reached out and grabbed her pulling her against her.
Emma tightened her grip on the brunette and sighed as the body relaxed against hers. "I missed you, you know. I'm not even afraid to admit that and you know that I'm terrible with feelings." Regina just hummed resting her head on her shoulder. "You know you can admit you missed me too."
"You were only gone a few hours." Regina muttered.
"And?" Emma laughed, mostly at the woman still trying to hide her feelings even after the drastic change in their relationship. "We've been spending a lot of time together so when we're apart it feels weird."
"Emma, I don't see..."
"Oh I get it; you have a reputation to uphold. Afraid your dragon girlfriend would catch you in the arms of the ex savior?" she teased.
Regina snorted. "No I'm more worried about your pirate boyfriend finding you in the arms of the Evil Queen."
Emma chuckled. "Touché."
Regina pulled away and looked at her before narrowing her eyes. "Did you talk to him?"
"I planned to I swear." Emma replied quickly. She loosened her grip but didn't release her. "He wasn't there. I'm going to handle it. I promise."
"Okay." Regina said detangling herself from the blonde. "Anyway, it's getting late, did you eat? Are you hungry?" she just needed a change of subject. She really didn't want to think about the fact that her girlfriend was still technically with the pirate.
Emma shook her head sensing the change in mood. "I ate with my parents."
"I bet that was fun." Regina said dryly. "Well, would you at least like to taste my pie? I…"
"Yes!" Emma practically yelped before she got to finish the sentence.
"I mean you probably had desert already but I baked an apple pie because I didn't know that you… " Regina started to explain but stopped mid sentence when realization hit her. Her eyes grew wide when she caught Emma's blush. "Oh my god, you thought... I would never use that term for it. Oh my god." A blush tinted her own olive tone.
Emma laughed nervously running her fingers through her hair. "Wow this is awkward. I thought I was getting laid like three seconds ago." She leaned in and kissed slightly parted lips quickly before stepping around her. "Let's go... um... get that pie, huh?"
An hour and two slices of pie for Emma later Regina lay in bed waiting for her. Remembering the blonde saying she needed to talk. Having the faintest idea as to what about but she knew it wasn't relationship related since the blonde's hands were all over her the entire time they were in the kitchen and all the way to bedroom. The only way she managed to pry the wandering hands off of her was when she went to the bathroom to shower and get ready for bed. The blonde had quite the sexual appetite. While Regina thought she had an appetite of her own it was nothing compared to Emma's.
When Emma walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom she groaned. "You're fully dressed, well, in Pjs so I guess I'm not getting any tonight."
Regina rolled her eyes so hard it hurt. "Come here Emma." She patted the space next to her on the bed, the space that has slowly became Emma's side of the bed. When Emma climbed into the bed she turned to face her. "You said you needed to speak to me about something important, what is it?"
Emma took a deep breath and spilled everything about the dream from the night before. How she had been afraid it would come true. She also explained how she was confused because she didn't understand why she wasn't a villain yet. Even though she knew deep down that it was Regina who was keeping her from losing herself like she had done many times before. This time was no different.
"Well my dear," Regina sighed. "It seems like you had a dream and you're worrying yourself into insanity." At the blonde's blank expression she continued. "You're not becoming a villain yet because you're a Charming. It's in your blood to be an annoying do-gooder. Besides it's far too early, you haven't performed any villainous acts to darken your heart. The darkness hasn't quite tasted you yet but I'm going to be honest, over time it will get a taste and try to consume you." Her eyes softened. "But I will never allow that to happen."
"It's you." Emma muttered.
"Pardon?"
"Keeping me from all of that." Emma replied looking her straight in the eye. "You've been helping me for all this time, keeping me from going dark."
Regina shook her head. "No. You did that all on your own."
"No, it was you. It pains me that you've saved me from the darkness so many times but there was no one to save you from it. Then once you got lost in it you had to dig yourself out on your own. I wish I could've been there to protect you from all of that back then." She took one of Regina's hands in her own. "That fucking sucks… the things that happened to you."
Regina shrugged and offered a sad smile. "That was in the past. I'm over a huge portion of it. Don't sell yourself short, you helped me a lot more than you think. Even before your sacrifice. You've saved me in more ways than you know. You're my hero. Don't ever forget that."
Emma hummed bringing the hand in hers up to her lips and kissing the knuckles softly before bringing it down to her lap and stroking the back of it gently with her thumb. "And I will continue to be that. I will always protect you. Whether if it's from yourself or some kind of danger." Her eyes locked on soft brown ones. "I will always keep you safe. I know that you're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself but you shouldn't have to all the time. Let me."
Regina just sat there. Unsure of what to say or do in response to the blonde's words. She felt her heart swell as it absorbed the words. She knew that Emma always wanted to protect her but hearing her say it was a completely different thing. A small smile crossed her face. She took her hand out of Emma's whose brows drew together in confusion. She just brought her hands up and cupped Emma's face before leaning in and closing the distance pressing their lips together. At a loss for words she knew that this would convey her emotions precisely.
As the kiss deepened, quickly turning into hungry opened mouth kisses. Regina felt wandering hands sliding up her back. She threw her arms around the other woman's neck enjoying the taste and feel of the mouth pressed against hers.
The kiss intensified and the air stilled in the room as Emma got up without breaking the contact and straddled the brunette's thighs. Leaning in a little more using her weight to push the woman flat onto her back. Hovering over her slightly she used both hands to cup both of the woman's breasts using her thumbs to rub back and forth over the nipples until she felt them harden. When Regina moaned into her mouth she pulled away and looked deep into brown eyes. Her arousal intensified as she watched them darken. "Do you want to?" she murmured against the other woman's lips who just responded by stealing another kiss. Sliding her own core up to the other woman's crotch she moved her mouth to the other woman's ear. "I want you so bad, baby." She whispered. "I'm going to fuck you, your majesty and I don't plan on being gentle."
Regina felt the wetness pooling at the meeting of her thighs at her girlfriend's words. "Good because who knows when we'll be able to.." she was cut off mid sentence by Emma biting down on her pulse point and soothing the slight pain with her tongue.
Removing a hand from Regina's breast Emma waved her hand removing their clothes. "As much as I enjoy undressing you, I don't have the patience tonight." She whispered before ducking her head and capturing an erect nipple in her mouth rotating between sucking and licking. Rolling the other nipple between her forefinger and her thumb. The other hand trailing down the soft skin on the woman's side until it rested on a hip. Giving it a quick squeeze she felt the body beneath her tremble briefly. She replaced her fingers with her mouth as she lavished the other nipple with equal attention, receiving a sharp hiss when she grazed it with her teeth.
Releasing it with a loud plop she sat up. Running her free hand down over full lips, down a throat, clavicle, between perfect breasts, down a flat stomach and letting it rest right below a perfect navel. Her eyes traveled slowly down tanned skin as if her mind was trying to memorize every inch of it. "Have I told you how beautiful you are?" Her eyes wandered up to the other woman's who nodded. Breathing heavily. "Want me to show you how beautiful I think you are?" another nod. She leaned down and captured full lips again before sitting back.
So focused on feeling up the woman beneath her she didn't even notice Regina sneaking a hand between them until a finger was pressed against her swollen nub. She hissed when it applied more pressure and started forming little tight circles. Her eyes snapped shut as she leaned forward, hands on each side of the brunette's shoulders, blonde hair falling off of her shoulders covering both sides of their faces, draping around them as she hovered over her being careful not to move her lower body too much from its perfect position. The finger stopped and slid down her slit and back up coating it's self in wetness but before she could complain about the teasing she felt two fingers slip inside of her ready and waiting opening. A loud guttural moan escaped her mouth when the wrist pressed again her clit started bending as the hand pumped the fingers upward inside of her. She started grinding down on the fingers as they moved, driving them in deeper. A third finger was added and the fingers stared moving faster as the blonde rode them harder. A fire burning in her lower stomach.
Regina knew the woman above her was already close. She started curling her fingers every time she came down on them. She let out her own moan when she saw the beauty of the blonde unraveling above her. She placed her hand on the other woman's thigh, rubbing it back and forth. "Come on Emma." She whispered over her moans, encouraging her into her climax. The walls tightened more and more with each thrust. The pace of the woman's humping became more erratic and the entire rhythm was gone. So close. "Yes that's it, sweetheart."
With a loud "Oh shit." Emma's orgasm rocked her body hard. The hot wetness running down the fingers inside of her and onto the woman's sex beneath her. Heightening the other woman's own arousal. The brunette let her ride out her orgasm before retracting her fingers.
"What the fuck was that Regina?" Emma asked between pants, she moaned while she watched the brunette bring the fingers that had just been inside her to her mouth, slowly slide them in and sucked them not once breaking eye contact with her. "Fuck." As soon as she removed her fingers the blonde bent down and crashed their lips together.
She pulled away with the brunette's bottom lip still between her teeth. Letting go she repositioned her lower body between her thighs. "You don't play fair. You're such a bad girl." She murmured against her lips before starting her decent down the woman's body. Placing soft kisses to every inch of skin along the way, when she reached the navel she dipped her tongue inside soliciting a small whimper from the other woman. She chuckled before she slid down the rest of the way and positioned herself between the toned thighs. She slid her hands over the inside of them, smirking when the woman bucked her hips slightly. She looked up and caught dark eyes staring back at her. She looked at the woman's mouth where she caught her biting down on her plump bottom lip. She winked up at her before ducking her head.
Regina gasped when she felt a tongue slide up the length of her slit stopping at her clit where it flicked it and circled it. She gripped the sheets with one hand and the other tangled in blonde locks. After a few minutes the tongue was replaced with a thumb rubbing hard rhythmic circles over the hardened nub. The tongue slowly slid into her dripping opening. It moved in and out in hard long thrusts. She arched her back trying to gain more contact with the mouth. The very eager to please blonde wrapped her arm around her hips pulling her closer and burying her face deeper. Curling the tip of her tongue every time it went in.
When the whimpers and unintelligible babbling began Emma removed her tongue replacing it with two fingers and placed a soft kiss to the clit before returning her tongue to it, one hard suck to the little nub had the queen closing in around the savior's fingers as they rammed into her with powerful thrusts ending with a sharp curl of fingers. She immediately started moving her hips to meet each thrust and before she knew it she was tumbling over the edge with a strangled cry.
Emma drank every last drop of liquid that spilled from the other woman's opening before getting up and making her way up the woman's body. She captured full lips as she sank into the body beneath her. The kiss deep and passionate, the queen wrapping her legs around her waist and arms around her neck as their tongues attacked each other's mouths.
When she was finally released she collapsed along side the mayor. "Shit, what the fuck was that?"
Regina chuckled as her breathing returned to normal and turned onto her side wrapping an arm around the blonde's waist and rested her head on her shoulder. "It's called an orgasm, my dear. I trust you've had one before."
Emma let out a tired laugh wrapping her arm around the brunette' shoulders giving her a small squeeze before placing a kiss on her forehead. "Yeah and you've given me the best I've ever experienced."
The brunette just hummed. "You're welcome."
She laughed again. "And so modest." She started stroking the soft olive skin with her thumb. "And gorgeous." She heard the woman sigh and snuggle in closer. "I remember when I first laid eyes on you, I thought you were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life but then you turned out to be a sassy bitch so..." she laughed to herself at the memory. "but you're not anymore. Well, not as much…"
They both chuckled at that. "I wish I could say that I'm sorry for giving you such a hard time but I must say it was quite invigorating riling you up. Everyone in this damn town was so afraid of their own damn shadow and you were the only one that provided a challenge." She smiled to herself. "And you continue to."
"And I know how much you love a good challenge Madam Mayor." Emma teased.
"Very cute Miss Swan." Regina quipped not missing a beat.
"Sheriff."
Regina snorted. "Right… Sheriff, I apologize." She raised her head slightly and met Emma's very amused expression. "Although I do wonder sometimes…" she paused dramatically. "How about "Princess Emma"?"
"Alright." Emma said reaching up and using her hand to lower the woman's head back to her shoulder. "Go to sleep." She laughed.
"You know you are…"
"Don't start." Emma warned waving a hand and covering them with the blankets.
"Fine." Regina sighed waving her hand and turning the lights off. "Your magic is improving."
"I know." Emma agreed proudly. "I had a great teacher." She began stoking the woman's soft skin with her thumb again soliciting another contented sigh. "So tomorrow's the big day huh?"
"Our trip? Yes, well if everything goes as planned."
"Any concerns?"
"Besides you? No." Regina didn't feel like getting into all of her worries and concerns right at that moment. She just wanted to relax in the Savior's arms and relish in the feeling of their bare skin pressed against each other.
"Okay, good. Everything will be fine." Emma leaned over and kissed the woman's forehead again. A feeling of dread washed over her when she thought about the fact that it might be days before they get to do this again and that's only if they find the solution they need with Merlin, If she doesn't get the darkness out of her and she becomes like Rumpelstiltskin then she wont be able to give Regina the love she needs and deserves. What if she hurts her? Oh god. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she did. This woman has been through enough.
The silence overtook the room as Emma drowned herself in her thoughts. She thought the weight she felt on her chest was her heart growing heavy but the soft breathing she heard caused her to glance down and realized that her girlfriend had relocated her head to her chest and had fallen asleep. The sight of the beautiful woman asleep in her arms pushed the dark thoughts to the back of her mind. She sighed as she felt her own body and mind relax. It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. She kept telling herself as she felt herself being pulled into sleep.
CAMELOT HERE WE COME! I'm excited. I have so many ideas for it since that's a land we've never seen on the show. I really missed Maleficent this chapter but there was no need for her. I'm glad Henry finally got to see Emma and spend the day with his mothers. That dream part was really difficult for me to write simply because I hate breaking Regina's heart like that, I felt terrible for letting Emma hurt Henry but it was necessary *cry*. as far as Emma going dark I feel like she wouldn't just wake up and be this terrible villain. She has the heart of the Savior so it'll take time. How dark will she go? Well, we'll see. I also haven't decided whos going to Camelot YET (I mean besides SQ) but everyone that goes is going for a specific purpose. But yeah, I won't keep you, I just had to say that really quickly. :) anyway reviews are GREATLY APPRECIATED. Let me know how I'm doing. See ya at the next update!
