Oh my god, it's Wednesday already. Look, I know this chapter's really short, but, I got the *cough* M-rated *cough* scene coming up next. I'm reallyyyy sorry for the delay, but I was working on a one-shot songfic. I absolutely promise the next chapter is definitely coming on Friday. Thank you to everyone who stuck with the story and to those who just started reading. I've got everything planned out, I just need to finish writing.

Emma's smile vanished, "What?" She was afraid that maybe she heard Regina wrong. The brunette took another sharp breath.

"Emma," she said, pronouncing the word carefully, "I need you to go. Now." Regina built her defences back up, the cold returning to her eyes. It was as if the last few minutes had never happened.

"No," Emma declared bluntly, standing her ground. She was scared of what might happen, she would admit it. But she wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Excuse me?" Regina demanded, "Sheriff Swan, I gave you an order. I expect you to obey it. Now go do your job." Regina was trying her best to convince herself that Emma hated her. And that she hated Emma. She replayed every hurtful word, every venom-filled conversation between the two. She ignored the comforting, the kiss, the late nights longing for Emma. The blonde took a step forward.

"Or what?" she answered fiercely, sounding a little childish. Regina's eyes flickered with anger.

"I do hope you realize that you can be held responsible for trespassing, home intrusion. Hell, I could account you for sexual abuse," Regina snarled. Emma smiled lightly.

"It's sexual abuse only if it's unwanted. Now tell me, Madame Mayor," Emma purred, looking into Regina's eyes, "Was it unwanted?" Regina opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words.

"Well, I," Regina began, avoiding direct eye contact with the blonde. Emma moved in closer, pushing Regina against the wall. She brought her hand to cup the brunette's face, brushing away the remaining tears with her thumb.

"Because, it wasn't unwanted for me," Emma said simply, short-circuiting the mayor's brain and all rational thoughts. Emma leaned in a little more, until the tip of her nose was practically touching Regina's.

"What're you doing?" Regina breathed, but it was pretty obvious. The heat of Emma's breath on her face was starting to make her light-headed.

"What you want," Emma whispered against Regina's lips, closing the remaining gap between the two. Regina surrendered willingly as she snaked her fingers through Emma's hair.

The kiss' innocence disappeared as Regina ran her tongue along Emma's lips, seeking entrance. This time, Emma opened enthusiastically. Their tongues met, and a moan escaped Regina's mouth. They explored each other, not holding anything back. The two women felt desire swirl in their stomachs, getting more intense as Emma left her mouth.

Licking and sucking, Emma worked her way across Regina's jaw, down her neck and back up to where her jaw met her ear. Nipping at it, Regina felt a pleasant shiver run down her spine, and her core began to tingle. Emma gazed up at Regina.

"Tell me what you want," she said in a hoarse voice, lust visible in her eyes. Bringing her hand down to where Regina needed it the most. The contact made the brunette gasp as Emma stroked through her panties. Regina's breathing got heavier, and she was finding it harder to form full words, never mind complete sentences.

"I want..." Regina panted as the stroking became firmer, "You." She closed her eyes, ready to submit. Suddenly, the contact stopped and Regina's eyes snapped open.

"I'm gonna make you wait," Emma whispered, enjoying the expression on Regina's face. It was a mix of rage, desire, and frustration. Regina was about to open her mouth when Emma swiftly swept the mayor off her feet. Regina let out a small yelp. "We're not gonna do this in the living room, for god's sake," Emma said, a devilish grin displayed on her face.

Carrying Regina in her arms, Emma hiked up the stairs. Her legs felt wobbly as she felt Regina kissing her throat. Steadying herself against the railing, she continued up until she reached Regina's bedroom. Setting the woman down, Emma closed the door, a smirk on her face.

Once again, I'll have it up by Friday. Hope I don't lose any of my awesome readers/reviewers. Sorry, True Randomness.
