Chapter 7:
Emma groaned as rolled over to turn off her alarm before it woke Regina up. But Emma wasn't able to reach it in time. "Turn that wretched buzzing noise off, please Emma it is hurting my sleep." Grumbled Regina trying her best to reach Emma so she could pull her back towards her not wanting it to be morning as that meant that Emma had to go to work. "Hurting you sleep? Is that even possible?" chucked Emma at Regina's sleepy mumbling. "Shut up I am still half asleep." Groaned out Regina tossing the pillow next to her at Emma, who ducked just as it flew towards her face.
"There you go, the buzzing is gone. You can go back to sleep now my goddess." Said Emma leaning down to give Regina a kiss on the lips before she got out of bed to head to the bathroom to get ready for work. Not that she really wanted to go, but she hasn't been working at the café long enough to get any time off. 'I so don't want to go to work today. I am feeling a little drained, like I have used up far more energy then what it did on our first time. Why is that I wonder? We didn't do too many positions or be too rough or anything. Not that I know that many positions. I don't know many lesbians to tell me how many there are. Perhaps I could ask Regina when I get back home this afternoon. It is only half day work today. I only have the breakfast and lunch shift today so I can spend more time with Regina then I can the next couple of days.' Thought Emma as she waited for the water in the shower to heat up to the right temperature.
Just as Emma stepped into the shower she felt soft warm arms wrap themselves around her waist. Pulling her towards Regina naked front. "Is there time for me to join you in the shower today?" asked Regina as she pressed light kisses along Emma's back and neck. "Mmm yes if you can be quick. I always set the alarm an hour early then needed to get ready." moaned Emma as she felt Regina's hands caress her body from behind making their way down to her soaking wet and pulsing core. Regina's fingers made quick work against Emma's clit, using short circular rubbing motions. Making Emma pant and moan, Regina then inserted two of her fingers into Emma's wet core, pumping in and out making sure to curl them at just the right spot and time as she pressed into Emma's g-spot.
With each thrust of Regina's fingers and continuous rubbing of her clit with Regina's thumb Emma was beginning to moan louder and her breaths becoming more ragged as the intensity of the impending orgasm and subsequent sparks that stem from Regina's lips and fingers that were sending tendrils of pleasure throughout her body. It didn't take long for Emma to reach her climax she shouted "oh fuck yes! Regina you fucking goddess that's it right there!" which compelled Regina to move faster and then draw it out so as have Emma ride out the intense orgasm. Finally Emma came down from the orgasmic high, her knees buckled and she almost slipped down unto the shower floor if it wasn't for Regina still holding her upright Emma would have done exactly that.
"You are amazing at that, come here I want to give you the same pleasure." Said Emma as she pulled Regina close to her, so that Regina's front was facing Emma's. Emma leaned in to kiss Regina the sparks continuing to fly everywhere. Regina deepened the kiss as Emma let her hands travel down Regina's body. One hand caressed Regina's ample breast lightly teasing the nipple. The other hand worked its way to Regina's wet core.
She then lightly rubbed Regina's clit bringing Regina to start to moan and pant as the slow build up was driving her insane. With the added sparks it was more intense then Regina has ever been used to. Just as Regina was nearing climax Emma plunged three of her fingers into Regina's core, and began thrusting in and out making sure to hit Regina's g-spot with each thrust. It was something that made Emma proud that she could bring her wonderful goddess of a woman to such pleasure. Soon enough Emma could feel Regina's inner walls clenching around her fingers as Regina climaxed screaming Emma's name. Emma continued just a little longer to draw out Regina's orgasm until finally Regina stilled and she too felt her knees buckle, collapsing into Emma's strong arms.
Emma gently slipped her fingers out of Regina while she held her tight to her body to allow Regina to recover from the intense high. Once Regina had calmed Emma leant in for another kiss, one filled with passion and intense emotions that Emma couldn't quite describe. Sending the colourful sparks all over them creating a cloud that was silently enveloping the couple. The cloud was hovering around their bodies, both women unaware of its presence as all they could see and feel was each other as they got lost in each other's eyes. Only when their lips parted from the intense kiss did the cloud dissipate. Leaving a tingling sensation over both women's bodies.
They then finished off getting clean in the shower turning it off and exiting the shower in single file as the shower wasn't all that big. Emma stepped out first grabbing her towel of the rack and wrapping her body up in it. She then bent down to open the vanity cabinet doors to get a towel for Regina who was just stepping out the shower after her, very much appreciating the view that Emma presented to her. Emma straightened up and turned around to give Regina the towel catching Regina in the act of staring at her slightly exposed body bringing a blush to Regina's cheeks that Emma found incredibly sexy. "Like what you see?" asked Emma as she handed the towel to Regina. "Yes very much dear, you are very beautiful and sexy and very hard to resist. I don't really want to let you go in to work, but I know how much you need to do so. Which is why I am allowing you to leave my side." Said Regina.
"Am I really that hard to let go, now that you have me?" asked Emma, her insecurities and constant worry of abandonment getting to her just a little bit. "Emma if I could I would never let you go. You are MINE and I have no intention to ever let you go. "Replied Regina her darker self coming out a little with her as she laid claim to the blonde in front of her. Who was currently drying herself off. "You say that now Regina, but aren't you going to leave in six weeks' time?" said Emma as she was continuing with getting ready for work and Regina was slowly getting ready for a day of exploration of the city, perhaps a little more shopping was in order. "I may be leaving Boston but I am not leaving you Emma. We have each other's numbers programed in our mobile phones so we will be able to keep in touch. I will also provide you with my home landline and work phone number as well so that I will always be just a phone call away. It doesn't matter what time or what the reason is Emma. I will always answer and be ready to listen." Said Regina, her love and passion for Emma seeping into the tone of voice as she said that.
"So what you are telling me is that we will be doing the long distance thing when you do go back to Storybrooke? Why can't I come with you to Storybrooke?" asked Emma. "Yes the long distance thing is best for the time being. As for you coming with me to Storybrooke, well that just isn't possible. Don't get me wrong dear I would love for you to come back with me. I truly would but unfortunately, people from outside the town are unable to enter the town, as the majority of the population is quite weary of outsiders. I am truly sorry Emma, it is out of my hands with this matter." Said Regina, feeling a little frustrated at the direction of the conversation. Emma was watching Regina's face in the mirror; she was unable to detect a single lie in that statement. Which was a little upsetting for Emma. 'This is so unfair, I just know that it will physically hurt my heart to see her go in six weeks time. Damn those small town citizens and their issues with outsiders! Why does it have to be that way? Why can't I just be able to follow her to her hometown? I guess I will just have to enjoy every single minute I have with Regina until then. Perhaps at some point Regina will be able to convince the citizens of Storybrooke to allow her to come live in their little town?' thought Emma as she was putting her light make-up on her face. Regina was doing the same next to her in the mirror.
'I'm really starting to regret my need to keep everyone I brought over with the curse trapped. It is seriously impeding on my chance for a happy ending. What? Wait a minute, since when is me falling in love a part of my happy ending? I thought seeing everyone not remembering who they really are and being away from their old lives in the Enchanted Forest was my happy ending? Wasn't it supposed to be about me getting the respect I deserve? No, it was my dark side that wanted to cast the curse not the side of me that loved Daniel with all my heart. Oh sweet Daniel, I do hope he can forgive me for moving on, for casting the dark curse and creating all that chaos and fear among the people of my kingdom. I am really going to have to look into finding a way to bring someone from this world across the town line.' Thought Regina as she finished getting ready in Emma's bedroom, putting on the clothes she had packed to wear whenever she decided to venture out in the city.
Emma had joined her in the bedroom as she put on her work uniform. Emma was quiet as she finished getting ready for work. She walked over to Regina giving her a brief kiss on the lips. She then walked out into the kitchen to get a packet of chocolate pop tarts to eat on the bus. Regina dazedly followed Emma into the kitchen just as Emma was about to leave it. "Have a good day at work, dear." Said Regina as Emma brushed by on her way out of the door. "Thank you, I will see you during my lunch break, yeah?" said Emma. Regina nodded in Emma's direction knowing that Emma had to hurry as their conversation in the bathroom had cut a big chunk out of their time before Emma had to leave to catch the bus. A brief smile lit up Emma's face at that as she dashed out the door and down to the bus stop nearby.
Regina went to Emma's pantry cupboard to look for Emma's stash of sugary cereals, for after their bathroom conversation she was feeling the need for the comfort of the indulgent cereal. Not in the mood to cook anything. Considering she wouldn't be sharing it with Emma. 'I'm going to have to get used to spending mornings alone again soon. No I am not going to let myself succumb to this stupid depression. It is unbefitting of a Queen. I am just going to enjoy every minute I get to spend with Emma and worry about the separation when the time comes. There is no point in me worrying about it. It is not like I can do anything about it at this point in time. Until the so called Savior turns up on her 28th birthday to break my curse, I don't think there is any foreseeable way to get Emma across the town line.
Unless, Emma just happens to be this Savior? Now that I think about it, she does bare some semblance to Snow White and the Sheppard Prince charming. Emma does have Snow White's eyes and chin, with Charming's nose, hair color, and height. Wow, fate really has a sick sense of humor. Of course I would go and find love in the arms of my arch nemesis daughter. Oh, but the look on their faces will be priceless when I do get to tell them. Now that is what I call a perfect revenge! But is that really fair to Emma, to think of our relationship as a form of revenge?
No it isn't fair to Emma at all. And she has done absolutely nothing to deserve that.' Regina thought as she consumed a bowl of lucky charms she had found in Emma's pantry. The conflicting thoughts were really starting to bother her. It seems that the two versions of her were arguing amongst themselves trying to better determine just what it was that she felt for Emma and about their current predicament.
'I will make it up to Emma when she gets home from work. I will cook her dinner and desert then give her a foot massage for her, after being on her feet all day. Whatever Emma desires to do I will do. I really don't want her to think I don't care about her enough to want to be with her." were Regina's thoughts as she washes the dishes from her breakfast and tidies up the kitchen.
'Perhaps I should tidy up the apartment before I head out. It will save Emma from doing it and it will be something I can do for her considering I will be spending a lot of time here. Hmm, perhaps I could just stay here the whole six weeks without having to go back to the hotel? I can get my stuff from there and bring it here. I will have to use what little of my magic to keep my car safe considering this isn't the most classy or safest of areas. I will look into seeing if there is a secure parking garage I can keep it rather than tiring my meager magic out here. When clearly my magic would be better used to keep myself and Emma safe instead.' Thought Regina as she was cleaning Emma's apartment wanting to contribute as much as she could and to hopefully keep the blonde happy.
After finishing the cleaning, Regina sat down in front of Emma's laptop to look up the temporally available parking garages near Emma's apartment. She wrote down the address of the nearest one so that she could go and enquire as to the prices as the information she could find on the Internet page she was able to find with the information. Granted Regina wasn't all that up to date with the current technology as she was still getting the hang of things. Sure with the curse the electronic devices and appliances were updated with each new update in the technology. But that didn't mean that Regina had got the hang of it all as of yet.
Regina put her shoes on and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth again after eating. As it would never do to go out with bad food breathe. She then gathers her handbag checked she had everything she needed inside it. Feeling confident that she had everything she proceeded out the apartment locking it behind her with her copy of the keys. Regina took the lift downstairs to the ground floor and hailed down a taxi to take her where she needs to go to get all her errands down for the day before she had to meet up with Emma for her lunch break.
Meanwhile, Emma was taking orders from the various customers in her section in a slight daze, as she couldn't get her mind of Regina. The conversation they had in the bathroom running circles in her mind. Emma didn't make any mistakes with her orders but it wasn't with the same joy or spring in her step that she had in the past couple of weeks since the day she had met Regina in this very café. Just as that thought reached her mind a bright smile lit up her face. And the following memories that came along with that first week furthered to put that joy and spring back into her step and her customers noticing the sudden change felt more inclined to leave a decent tip for Emma.
Before Emma knew it her lunch break came and she was happy to see that Regina had turned up, shopping bags in hand as she sat at one of the tables in her section. Emma immediately walked over to Regina's table and gratefully took a seat on the chair beside her. "You're definitely a sight for sore eyes." Said Emma as she lent in for a kiss, a kiss that Regina eagerly deepened easily beginning their well-known dance when it comes to kissing each other with passion. The familiar sparks making its way around their bodies and spreading out in various directions. Enveloping around every person in the café unknowingly to either woman.
When they finally came up for air, Regina lent back into her chair a rather smug and pleased look on her face. Emma did the same with the same look upon her face as Regina. "I could get used to that sort of greeting." Said Regina her voice getting husky with her arousal. "So could I, your lips and hands are like magic." Husked back Emma.
"I could say the same of you dear, so how has work been so far?" asked Regina. "It's been alright, I haven't been able to get our conversation in the bathroom out of my mind. But I am determined not to let it get to me. I will give the long distance relationship a go. As I really don't want to ever lose you." Babbled Emma. "Don't worry about that Emma, you won't ever lose me." Said Regina. Regina lent in for another kiss this time only having it be chaste before leaning back. As she did that one of Emma's colleagues came over to take their lunch order.
"Hey Amy, we will have the lunch special, a tall vanilla latte for Regina, and a hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon for me please." Emma said as her friend took the order. "Sure thing Emma, I will make sure that they make it quick and bring over your drinks." Said the waitress. Emma nodded as the waitress went to take the order over to the kitchen making sure to get them to hurry the food order. The waitress herself made the drinks and brought them over to Emma and Regina's table.
She put the drinks in front of them and went to take care of the other customers. "She was the one that gave us the red sox tickets. Her boyfriend is the season pass holder. That is how we were able to sit at the green monster." Emma told Regina, a bright smile on her face as she recalled that day. "Be sure to thank her for me, my dear. I was thinking that for the remainder of my stay in Boston, if you are all right with it that is, I could stay with you at your place? I will pay for food, and pay my share for the utilities, of course, as I won't make you pay for all that on your own as that wouldn't be fair to you." Said Regina.
"That sounds really great Regina, but what about your car? You drove here from Storybrooke, yeah? Where will you keep it? I do have a parking space at my place. You can use it. Does your car have a good alarm system installed in it?" was Emma's response. "I believe so yes, so you would be fine with me staying with you? It just seems more prudent for me, considering I am at your place more than at the hotel anyway." Asked Regina a little insecurity shinning in her voice.
"Of course Regina, at least now I won't have to deal with the snobs at the front desk and the concierge flirting with you. That guy really bugged me. Oh, and let's not forget the bitch who wasn't going to give my note card to you for that room service I ordered for you on the morning of our third date. I practically had to bribe, and threaten her to do it. It was only after I told her I would tell you about how they treated me that she gave in and said she'd give it to you." Babbled Emma in her eagerness and happiness at the news.
"You won't have to deal with them anymore, my dear. Any thoughts as to what you would like for dinner tonight, hmm?" said Regina, a bright smile was on her own face in her own joy of Emma accepting her staying with her at Emma's tiny apartment. "Oh, I don't know, surprise me I am sure that whatever you make will just mouthwatering. Just like you are, I could just eat you up right here, right now." Said Emma with a rather flirty wink and tone of voice.
'Why must we be in such a public place right now? I would ravish her where she stands if we were at home. Wow, did I really just think of Emma's apartment as home? I really did think that just now.' were Regina's thoughts as Emma had said her last sentence. Regina then looked Emma in her bright green eyes, the startling blue flecks were making themselves known in Emma's eyes clearly it seems when Emma is aroused. 'How did I not notice the blue flecks when we made love? You would think I would notice that? Perhaps not, I do get so wrapped up in the moment.' Thought Regina as she managed to get lost in Emma's eyes.
"What are you thinking about so hard?" asked Emma just now noticing the faraway look on Regina's face. "Hmm? Oh, I was just thinking, well asking myself in my mind how I didn't notice the blue flecks in your eyes when we make love. But then I realized that I tend to get wrapped up in the moment and those little details get lost, as all I can think then is how great you feel. And how fantastic what you're doing to me is." Said Regina, her brow furrowing a little as she divulged that sentence a little worried as to how Emma would take that sentence.
"Of course you would be more concerned with how it feels when we are making love as am I. but I do wonder later about how your eyes get lighter in color when you reach climax, but darker when we start with the beginnings of your arousal. It's not like I haven't constantly got you on my mind. Because I will admit that I do. I am constantly thinking what it is you see in me, some little orphan with not much to offer but my heart, body and soul, which I have already willingly given you. Then I worry about when you leave, if we will be able to keep in contact, as much as I want to do so. It's not like we can be together as often as we are now. And since you have shown me just how good it feels to be with someone who you care so deeply about and just happen to be falling hard and fast for. What am I going to do about not having you there when I need you?" rambled Emma, getting all that out in only a couple of breathes.
"Well you can call me anytime you want, it really doesn't matter what time it is I will answer your call, dear. In a dire situation I will get to your side, someway, somehow, no matter what. I plan on finding a way to get you to be able to come to Storybrooke and have the citizens be welcoming of you. I don't like the idea of being away from you either, but I just can't up and leave Storybrooke just now. It takes time to be able to find a suitable person to take over my office at town hall being Mayor and all. Getting the time off I have now is hard going as it is.
We will figure something out, Emma, please, don't worry about it. I am not letting you go, Emma, at all, we will still be a couple, just with a few hours between us." Rambled Regina.
"You're right, it's not like I can do anything about it. I am looking forward to having you stay with me for the next few weeks. Getting to wake up to you each and every morning then cuddling up to you in bed every night. It will be my own personal heaven.," said Emma, feeling better at the prospect of spending more time with Regina.
The waitress brought over their meals and drinks. They ate quietly for a little bit, both thinking about the current state of their relationship. "It will be the same for me, dear. I enjoy your company, so being able to spend so much time with you will be heaven for me as well," Said Regina, not being able to handle the silence any more. "Can you tell me what it's like being from a small town?" asked Emma who also wasn't enjoying the silence as much as she used too.
"Quiet mostly, and everyone knows each other. News travels fast and it is very hard to keep a secret. Most of the town's citizens are narrow minded, not accepting of the different sexualities of others. It is one of the reasons I can't take you with me. As I don't want you to get hurt by those citizens, simply because you are involved with me. Not everyone likes me or that I am the mayor," said Regina.
Emma's internal lie detector didn't pick up any lies in that sentence so she was able to accept that reason for as to why she couldn't go with Regina when she heads back to Storybrooke but could still sense that wasn't the entire reason. "Sounds peaceful but a little boring. Uh, well as much as it would be a nice change to the hustle and bustle of living in big cites. I can understand your reason to want to protect me from your political enemies. It probably wouldn't look good for the mayor to be with a partner that is almost half your age either," said Emma, letting her insecurities to show a little.
"Your age is not an issue for me, you could be 70 years old and I'd still find you sexy, attractive and beautiful inside and out. It's true; it does get a little boring and repetitive living in a small town like mine. We don't get many visitors. We had a father and son come visit a few years ago, as they were camping in the woods that surround our town. They only stayed a night or two then headed back wherever they came from," responded Regina.
"So you would still find me sexy when I'm 70? Mm, I bet you would still be a sexy goddess to me when you reach that age." flirted back Emma. "Naturally you pick up on the part where I said I would find you sexy still no matter your age." sassed back Regina. They finished of their lunch in a more comfortable silence, that had both women staring in each other's eyes getting lost in them, neither of them paying attention to what they were eating.
"I better get back to work now, I will see you when I get home. We can cook dinner together, well you can teach me to cook dinner, if you like?" asked Emma as she got up to head back to waiting tables, but before she did she leant her head down to give Regina a goodbye kiss that they both found hard to keep it chaste. "Alright dear, I will see you later at home. Don't over work yourself." said Regina as she herself got up after paying the bill leaving a decent tip.
As Regina was leaving the cafe she blew a kiss in Emma's direction, making Emma blush and send one back as she tried to hide behind one of the other waitresses in her bashfulness. Regina couldn't help the smirk that graced her face at that. 'She is so adorable; I so can't wait until she gets home. Ah, I must say I do like the idea of calling Emma's apartment 'home'. For it truly does feel like it. Unlike my mansion back in Storybrooke, it is so huge but so lonely without someone to share it with. It is one of the many things I am going to miss when I get back there. But then I will be able to look into how I can get Emma there. Hmm, that man and child must have been within town limits when the curse brought us over here. ' Thought Regina as she headed for the town car she was still in possession of.
Regina then drove to the hotel to check out and return the town car, so she could retrieve her own car from the hotel parking garage. Once she got there she gave the keys to the town car to the waiting valet. Getting out all of her purchases out of the boot to take with her when she gathers all her things from her suite. Regina then went up into her room with a bellboy in tow pushing the cart with her shopping bags.
Once inside her room she gave the bellboy a tip and proceeded to pack all her bags. 'Thank the gods; I bought a new suitcase to carry all the extra clothes and items I have already purchased the last fortnight. Sometimes I wonder why I go and buy so many clothes. I guess mother's teachings are very strongly ingrained into my head. It's no wonder really she did make sure it stuck with her magic. Making sure that I learned her many lessons in life and how it works. What m station in society was and what it meant for me in whom I should marry and what my main concern should be.
Mother and her obsession with power. Why couldn't she see that love is very important, more important than power? I will never truly understand her need for it. Just like I don't understand really why she would have me marry a man that was old enough to be my father when I was only eighteen? Who cares if he was a king? Surely there was a far younger king she could have married me off to? Ah, who am I kidding? Mother's thirst for power was too great and Leopold was ruler of a large and vastly powerful kingdom so of course she said yes for me. If I ever have children I will never force them into an unwanted marriage. They can marry whomever they want to, regardless of their station in life. Wow, am I really thinking of having children with Emma?
Our kids would be so cute looking with her curly blonde hair and my eyes, or my dark hair with Emma's eyes now that would be adorable. Or even something in between, like maybe light brown hair and hazel eyes that can't quite decide if they are brown or green. Much like Emma's eyes that are a bright emerald green with flecks of blue that make themselves noticed whenever she is aroused, excited or expresses any intense emotion really.
I know I feel ready for motherhood, but is Emma? She is only 17; I should wait until she feels ready. It's not like I am going to physically get any older anytime soon, at least not until the curse breaks. Even then I wont age all that much, as being a witch, which means I age slowly.' thought Regina as she finished packing her bags, she only had to add her toiletries then zip up the final suitcase. She gathered the last of her things, double-checking to make sure she got everything. Regina then called the front desk to ask for a bellboy to come help with her bags.
The Bellboy knocked on the room door and Regina let him in so that her bags could be placed on the luggage cart. They then took the lift down to the hotel basement parking level so that Regina could put her bags in her Mercedes Benz, once that was done Regina paid the bellboy his tip then went up to the hotel front desk to complete the check out process. When all that was completed Regina went out front to wait for the valet to bring her car around. After about 10 minutes wait the valet drove her car to where Regina was standing and gave back the keys to Regina.
Once she had her keys she got into the drivers seat and drove of to Emma's place so that she could get settled in. She got out the bags that had the important things, as the extra shopping bags weren't necessary to bring in. She locked her car up making sure to put on the club lock, turn on the kill switch and the alarm. Certain that no one would be able to steal her car; she took her bags up into Emma's apartment.
Using her copy of the keys she let herself in and took her bags into the bedroom. She then unpacked the groceries she bought earlier before going to see Emma for lunch.
Regina then got out he ingredients to make spinach and ricotta ravioli from scratch and went to work with the preparations for the dinner she had planned for that night. Emma, while at work, thanked her friend for the Red Sox tickets that Emma and Regina enjoyed on their second date. Her worked friend was glad that they got put to good use. Emma worked hard for the rest of her shift earning herself some decent tips from her customers and said goodbye to her boss as she clocked out and rushed to the bus stop to catch the first bus home to her apartment.
Emma was thankful that she didn't have to wait long for the bus to come. She paid the fare and took a seat near the driver. 'I wonder what Regina is cooking for dinner tonight? I bet it will be delicious! Man, can she cook! I can only hope she will teach me while she is staying here before she heads back to her hometown. These next few weeks are going to be amazing! Ooh, I better hit the button as my stop is coming up.' thought Emma as she looked out the window in the bus.
Once the bus stopped at the bus stop that is only a 5-minute walk from her place Emma quickly got off the bus telling the bus driver a polite thank you as she did so. She then practically skipped the rest of the way home in her anticipation in seeing Regina in an apron. 'Mmm Regina in an apron, now that is sexy!' Emma couldn't help thinking as she crossed the threshold of her apartment door. "Hey honey, I'm home!" Emma excitedly called out to Regina with a bright smile on her face.
Regina came out the kitchen just as she put the apple and blackberry deep dish pie into the oven. With the apron saying 'I cook with wine, sometimes a little actually goes into the food.' printed on it. " Hello dear, how did the rest of your shift go?" said Regina; a small smile on her face at the clichéd greeting that Emma gave her. Regina walked into the bathroom where she knew Emma would have gone after having called out the greeting. As Regina knew Emma would want a quick shower to get the smell of the cafe out of her hair. "Not too bad I received some decent tips today. Made about $100 in tips as I don't deal with the alcohol so I only get the tips from the meals and coffee but it was a pretty good haul." said Emma as she noticed that Regina had followed her into the bathroom.
A knowing flirty look graced Emma's face, as she caught Regina checking out her body as she stepped into the shower. "Like what you see?" flirted Emma. Regina chuckled softly as she tried to hide her embarrassment at getting caught checking Emma out. "Oh, most definitely love what I see, dear." flirted back Regina. "Did you want to join me?" asked Emma as she adjusted the temperature of the hot water. "I'd love too, dear, but I got to go back to keeping an eye on dinner. I can't let the pasta or the sauce get burnt. Sorry." said Regina. "Okay, hun, I shouldn't be too long then." said Emma as Regina walked back into the kitchen to do as she said.
Emma joined her shortly after wrapping her arms around Regina's waist as she stirred the Ravioli into her homemade creamy sun-dried tomato, basil, oregano and three-capsicum sauce. "Mm that smells great!" said Emma. "It's almost ready, just needs to thicken a little bit more," said Regina as she turned around into Emma's arms leaning in for a sweet peck on the lips. Which quickly became a more passionate one. Shooting sparks all over their bodies and then pulsing out to create a bubble around them. Neither of them, taking any notice of the sparking bubble surrounding them. Filled with bright blues, purples, gold and white swirls that dissipate when they finally break for much needed air.
They rested their foreheads together as they caught their breaths. Regina then turned back to the stove and the now ready pasta dish. Regina then served then out a portion of the pasta each putting the leftovers aside of the heat so it can cool down before Regina would put it into plastic storage containers. Then placed in the freezer to use at a later date when neither of them felt like cooking or to consume takeaway.
They sat down at the dinner table together to consume the ravioli that Regina had made. "Regina this is sooo good, it's like heaven in my mouth." complimented Emma. "Why thank you dear, I am glad you enjoy it," said Regina feeling a little proud of the fact that she was able to make a meal that Emma could enjoy eating. "Mm, you are very good at cooking Regina. I don't think I have ever eaten as good as what you have been making me in the last couple of weeks." said Emma trying her best not to get the pasta all over herself in her enthusiasm.
"Slow down, Emma, there is no rush." lightly chastised Regina. "Sorry I can't help it. It just tastes so good," said Emma. "It's alright, dear, I have an apple and blackberry deep dish pie with ice-cream for dessert after this so you can take your time as it will be awhile before the pie is ready." Said Regina. "Sounds absolutely divine! Hey, was that your Benz out in the parking spot reserved for this apartment?" asked Emma, a look of excited curiosity. "Yes it is, do you think it will be alright out there? Or should I take it over to a secure lock up garage nearby?" replied Regina. "It will be fine, it may not look like it. But this part of the neighborhood is quite safe, really. I've never had any trouble living here so far.
And my boss assured me that it was a safe area. Safe enough that he would let his eldest daughter live here when she was old enough or at least wanted to do so. His eldest daughter is only a year younger than me," said Emma. "Hmm alright if you say it will be safe, I shall trust your judgment," said Regina. They continued to eat the rest of their dinner in a comfortable silence the tense mood of their morning and lunch had faded and they could now enjoy their night, without the worries they had earlier in the day. For their determination to enjoy the remaining weeks that they could spend together until Regina went back to Storybrooke came about.
After they finished the main meal, Regina cleared the plates and took them to the sink to soak until after they had finished dessert. The timer on the oven went of just as Regina finished putting the dishes in the sink.
She then grabbed the nearest tea towels to take the pie out of the oven and place it on the protective heat mat. She then got out the cookie and cream ice cream out of the freezer placing it in the bench. She cut the pie in precise pieces and put one each into the waiting bowls. Regina then scoop out some ice cream to go with it then place the ice cream container back into the freezer. Regina then brought out the two bowls over to the dining table where Emma was patiently waiting and watching Regina work her domestic magic.
Regina places one of the bowls in front of Emma and then placed the other in front of her own table setting. Emma was quick to dig in relishing the taste of the pie and ice cream combination. "Wow, you are like some cooking wonder woman! This is just so delicious, I am in awe in how you are just so wonderful in every way possible!" said Emma with the brightest smile on her face. "Thank you, dear, and your very welcome. Although you don't have to compliment my cooking each and every time you eat it. You are giving me quite the big head from all the praise you have been giving me." said Regina, who also had a bright smile on her face making her look years younger then she was.
"Oh, but I do have to compliment you! As you are the best cook I have ever met. However did you know that the fastest way to my heart was through my stomach? There is no way I am ever going to leave you Regina not with your delicious cooking skills and that your are the most wonderful and beautiful woman I have ever met." babbled Emma. " You know that your ability to just get all that out in what seams to be just one or two breathes is incredible. I will just have to make use of those oral skills later." husked Regina, as Emma's babbling was turning her on and fuelling her ever-present arousal. That doesn't seem to want to go away while she was in Emma's presence and also constantly on her mind when they are apart.
It didn't take long for Emma to devour her dessert. Then Emma willingly watched as Regina daintily ate her own. Getting lost in Regina's chocolate brown eyes that were the center of her world. As soon as Regina had finally finished her dessert Emma quickly cleared the table and took them over to the kitchen sink where Emma and Regina worked together to get the dishes cleaned and dried before being put away in their respective places.
After that was done and Regina had put the now cooled down pie into the fridge they then went into the lounge room to watch a little television as that had become a part of the routine they had set the previous week together. They snuggled up close to each other Regina leaning up against Emma's side as Emma had her arm around Regina's waist holding her close to her side. About halfway into the TV show they were watching Emma turned her head so that she could pull Regina in for a kiss.
That Regina eagerly deepened, until air was needed once more. After they caught their breath once more Regina dove in for another kiss, this time she had one hand in Emma's hair and the other cupping one of Emma's breasts on top of the material of the singlet top Emma was wearing. Emma had somehow managed in all the kissing to undo all of Regina's buttons on her dress shirt. Allowing Emma to caress Regina's breasts through the lacy fabric of her bra. The ever-present sparks and swirls shooting all over their bodies and once again created a bubble around them. When they finally parted for air, Regina pulled them both up off the lounge and directed them to the bedroom. So they could continue with what they were doing in there.
When they reached the bedroom, they were both quick to divest themselves of the clothes they were wearing. Not caring where the clothes landed. Emma then pulled Regina in close to her now naked body, enjoying the feeling of their two naked bodies being pressed up against the other. Nipples brushing the others, lips crashing together in a passionate embrace, fingers entwined in hair and hips. In their rush to feel every inch of the other's body under their fingertips and lips.
They fell together onto the bed not bothering to stop their pursuit of giving each other as much pleasure as possible. It was only when their breaths began ragged that they stopped to catch their breaths and slow down their love making, so that they could truly enjoy and appreciate it, and each other. As great as hard and fast sex can be, the more slow and sensual way of when they made love was the more craved pleasure that kept the other on their minds.
Emma kissed slower this time on Regina's lips briefly, then making a trail down her neck being sure to give special attention to the pulse point. Biting lightly to leave a mark on that spot, Emma then came back up for another kiss on the lips enjoying the taste of apples and cinnamon that had nothing to do with the pie they consumed for dessert and everything to do with Regina and her unique taste. As Emma did this, she was grinding her hips into Regina's their clits rubbing together in a synchronized rocking motion. As Regina met Emma's hips thrust for thrust.
Relishing in the intense pleasure this brought about to both of them, a slow build up leaving them both on the brink of release. Had them plunging fingers into each other's warm, clenching centers keeping up with the thrusting of their hips to maintain the friction on their clits and giving them a better angle to reach their respective g-spots. Increasing the pace as they reached mutual orgasms bringing out shouts off "Regina, my goddess' from Emma and "Emma, my beautiful" from Regina as they slowed down the pace again as they rode out their orgasms.
Kissing each other on the lips once again before collapsing together in a heap of tangled limbs. Shortly followed by the bliss of sleep. Both way to spent to untangle themselves.
For the rest of the week and the next five to follow they fell into a welcome routine. Of them making passionate love each night, the sparking bubble getting more intense with each time. They would spend lunch together during Emma's work breaks on the days Emma worked, talking and getting to know each other better. Regina, having to leave out the magical details of her life's story, not liking having to do so. But feeling that it was a needed evil.
On Emma's days off they would spend their time together exploring the many things the city of Boston had to offer, even attending another baseball game at Fenway park. Enjoying the atmosphere as the Red Sox once again won the match. Until the last day and night that Regina had left of her vacation had come at last.
Regina was determined to make it special for Emma as best as he could. For she wasn't entirely sure when she would be able to physically see her again. So the night before her last one Regina laid snugly in Emma's arms fell asleep with a plan in mind on how she was going to make what would be a rather emotion filled day one of the best she could make it for both her and Emma.
