A/N: So this chapter is mostly smut. At least the first half is so if that offends you I suggest you skip it. For the rest of you, well I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 8 - High enough to fly (part two)
Once they reached Regina's room Emma couldn't help but hesitate slightly. Regina had said not to think but she couldn't help consider what she was about to do. I mean this was Regina for fucks sake! The other mother of her child! The Evil Queen! She was about to have sex with the Evil Queen.
Oddly enough this last thought was nothing but a turn on and Emma quickly chose to stop thinking and just follow Regina's lead. She'd worry about the implications of this later, besides it was just one night.
Regina stood by the bed just watching her as these thought flew through her head. 'Come here.' She said softly but firmly, and Emma went to her.
'Are you sure about this?' Emma asked.
'No more than you are.' Regina confirmed. 'But right now I don't care, I don't care about anything except finally acting on what I feel for you.'
Emma closed the last small distance between them and kissed Regina softly.
Regina melted into the kiss and for some time that was all they could do, simply kiss and kiss until their hearts were racing and they couldn't breath until finally the kissing just wasn't enough anymore and Emma reach behind and unzipped Regina's dress, watching with wide eyes as it fell to the floor pooling around her ankles.
Emma bit her lip. She had never seen anything sexier than Regina in her black lacy bra and panties and black high heels. Any remaining concerns Emma may have had fled her mind in an instant and she let out a small gasp at the sight. 'You are so fucking beautiful.' she whispered.
'Language Miss Swan!' Regina admonished with a genuine smile on her face as if no one had ever complimented her like that before (in truth they hadn't). She stood there shyly under Emma's appreciative gaze until Emma could take no more and reached out to stroke Regina's hair, then her face before she tentatively ran her hand down her neck to her shoulder, pushing one bra strap down.
Regina moaned slightly and tilted her neck which Emma took as an open invitation and leant down to kiss it, pushing the strap down further with one hand while cupping Regina's breast through the lacy fabric of her bra with the other. She ran her thumb lightly over Regina's nipple and felt herself moan in response to the sounds Regina was making.
'Emma?' Regina sighed, and Emma began to kiss her way down Regina's neck to her breast, taking the other nipple into her mouth through the lace.
'Yes?' Emma asked, as she pulled down Regina's bra and took her nipple completely into her mouth and sucked it gently.
'Ahhh, you are wearing too many clothes.' Regina moaned, pulling Emma's mouth up to hers as she felt wetness pool between her thighs soaking her panties.
She pulled Emma's dress up to her waist, and ran her hands once again over her ass, pulling her even closer before ripping the dress up and over Emma's head the discarding it messily into a corner.
Emma stepped out of her heels and pulled Regina to the bed quickly before she could lose her nerve. Regina followed her willingly, throwing back the covers and pushing Emma down as she knelt above her and looked down at her. 'Do you have any idea of the effect you have on me?' She asked quietly.
'I'm sure I could guess.' Emma said with a smile, lifting one hand to Regina's stomach and letting it trail softly down to play with the hem of her panties.
'You're killing me.' Regina replied, and bent to kiss Emma's breasts gently, pushing her bra aside. 'We have to get rid of this' she declared and Emma quickly complied, sitting up slightly so Regina could undo the clasp and remove her bra.
Regina looked down at Emma in just her white panties (they were in stereotypical colors again she noticed with a smirk) drinking in the sight of her; breasts pale in the moonlight, eyes deep dark pools of desire as she stared up at her expectantly. Regina was sitting astride her now, still wearing her heels and she trailed a hand down Emma's face to her collar bone, stopping in the middle of her chest where she paused for a moment, just long enough for Emma to moan impatiently (and for a fresh wave of wetness to hit Regina's core) before she bent down and gently took a nipple into her mouth.
Emma responded by gripping Regina's hair and moaning loudly as she pushed her hips up into Regina pressing tightly against her.
Regina gasped around Emma's nipple as she cupped her other breast in her hand firmly, tweaking the nipple slightly, enough to illicit another moan.
Emma desperately wanted more of Regina and as sexy as she was in her black lacy underwear Emma wanted to see more and touch more and she wasn't afraid any longer, wasn't at all uncertain. She pushed Regina up slightly and cupped both her breasts in her hands, then ran her fingers over the nipples before reaching behind to undo her bra, letting her breasts fall free.
For a moment Emma just looked at her (much like Regina had at Emma earlier) then she moved her gaze from that beautiful body up into Regina's eyes and pushed her hair back slightly with one hand, brushing her thumb over Regina's lips. She sat up slightly to kiss her again, this time pulling Regina down on top of her and she snaked one hand between them bringing it between Regina's thighs to graze over her clit. Emma could feel just how wet Regina was for her, and as she slipped a finger underneath her underwear to slide between her folds Emma moaned and her own clit throbbed and fresh wetness welled between her legs.
Regina continued to kiss her passionately as Emma stroked her slowly over and over again, reveling in the feel of her soft folds, and the pulsing nub of her clitoris. When she tentatively pushed a finger inside her Regina gasped loudly.
'Fuck, Emma!'
Emma stilled her fingers for a moment and kissed her neck softly. 'Are you okay?' She murmured, fingers still inside her.
Regina sat up suddenly and leaned down, grasping Emma's underwear and slowly pulling them off, discarding them to the floor with the rest of their forgotten clothing. 'Of course I'm okay you fool.' She said and then wriggled down slightly bending to kiss Emma's flat stomach. 'Stay still.' She ordered.
For perhaps the first time in her life Emma obeyed without question, holding her breath slightly as Regina kissed her way down Emma's stomach while slowly stroking her inner thigh with one hand, each time letting her fingers slide a little higher teasing Emma slowly. 'Regina.' She snapped. 'Enough.'
Regina smiled into Emma's stomach and ignored her, continuing her slow kisses and slow strokes until her mouth and her fingers simultaneously arrived at the spot Emma was so desperate for. She firstly kissed Emma's clit lightly as her fingers took their first stroke through her wet folds, then she ran her tongue though them and sucked on Emma's clit gently as she slowly pushed two fingers inside of her.
Emma moaned again and bucked her hips up towards Regina, who responded by sucking more furiously and curling her fingers up inside her. Emma felt like velvet, soft and smooth and so deliciously wet Regina moaned from the sheer joy of it. She pulled her fingers out of her and replaced them with her tongue, moving it quickly in and out, tasting every inch of her.
Emma was growing more and more tense, and she reached down and wound her fingers into Regina's hair as she thrust her hips upward. 'Regina!' she cried. 'Regina!'
Regina moved her tongue back to suck furiously on Emma's clit and she moved her fingers inside her faster and faster until Emma grabbed a handful of Regina's hair her whole body going taut as she came with a small cry. For a few moments they were both still.
'Oh. My. God.' Emma said softly, her whole body limp as she fought to catch her breath. 'That was amazing.'
'Of course it was.' Regina smirked secretly extremely proud of herself. 'Did you expect anything less?' she raised her eyebrows.
A small frown appeared on Emma's face. 'To be honest no.' she admitted. 'Though I'm not sure where you learned to do that, surely you don't have much experience with this?'
'With sex?' Regina asked, eyebrows still raised.
'No you fool, with sex with another woman.' Emma laughed.
'Turns out you don't need experience. I just did what I wanted to, tasted what I wanted to taste, touched what I wanted to touch. That seemed to work just fine. You're thinking again aren't you?' she asked with a frown still sitting astride Emma, her core rubbing slightly against Emma's pubic bone.
'Yes actually.' Emma confessed, reaching up to fondle Regina's breast. 'I'm thinking about what I want to do to you.'
Regina sat back slightly arching her body up and opening her arms wide. 'Be my guest.' She said with a smirk.
Emma didn't need to be told twice. She sat up quickly and pushed Regina off her so she was lying on her back, their positions now reversed with Emma straddling her instead.
For a moment she didn't know where to start and her uncertainness clearly showed on her face because Regina's early playfulness vanished and she placed her hands on Emma's thighs stroking them gently.
'Emma you don't have to do anything you're not ready for.' Regina said softly.
Emma looked into Regina's dark eyes. For several moments they simply looked at each other, no words were spoken until Emma finally dragged her eyes away and down to Regina's breasts. 'I want to do this.' She said firmly, convincing Regina as much as herself.
She bent to take one nipple into her mouth, circling her tongue over and around it gently, slowly until her uncertainness subsided and Regina's soft moans sounded in her ears. Emma's heart soared at that sound and her confidence grew. She left Regina's breast and kissed her way down to the elastic of her black lacy panties, letting her hands run down her sides and over and up her thighs. She nudged Regina's clit through her panties with her nose as she slipped a finger underneath the fabric and slid between Regina's soft folds. She was so wet, her panties were simply saturated and the feel of that silky wet arousal was nothing Emma had ever experienced before, she loved it. She removed her finger and sat back pulling off Regina's panties slowly.
She took a few moments to just gaze at the beautiful sexy woman below her and to marvel at how lucky she was to be here in this moment with someone so perfect.
Sensing Regina's impatience, she then bent to kiss her ankle, then her calf, then the top of her knee, trailing her way up her thighs, nudging Regina's legs to open wider so she could finally settle between them and kiss her tenderly where she most wanted to.
Regina responded by pushing up into her and Emma darted her tongue out to slide slowly over her clit again and again, as she inserted first one then two fingers inside her, moving them gently pushing them in then out then in over and over again.
Regina growled then suddenly she flipped them back to their original position with her sitting on top of Emma legs astride. 'This way.' she said quickly and pushed Emma's hand between her legs.
Emma sat up and gripped Regina tightly around her waist with one arm, while she gently inserted two fingers, and then a third into her with the other, curling them upward.
'Yes, just like that!' Regina cried as she started to move her hips on top of Emma, grinding herself down hard onto Emma's hand, over and over as Emma leaned forward towards those marvelous breasts and took a nipple into her mouth sucking on it hard. Regina moved faster and faster on top of her and Emma curled her fingers and rubbed Regina harder and harder until she cried aloud and finally came furiously.
They both collapsed back onto the bed, their sweat drenched limbs tangled on top of each other. Then eventually they relaxed more and Regina's head found its way to Emma's breast, her hand on her stomach and for a short time they slept, until Emma woke to find Regina kissing her nipples and then the whole process started again, only slower, each of them taking the time to fully explore the others body and beginning to understand this new form of lovemaking.
Eventually just before dawn they fell asleep together, each having moved to their own side of the bed exhausted, but still with their feet entwined together.
…
The next morning Emma woke with a warm feeling inside her, sometime in her sleep she had shifted closer to Regina so that their bodies were molded perfectly together, her arm slung over Regina's waist. The sheet covering them only came to their waists and Emma couldn't resist lifting her hand to gently stoke Regina's bare side, following the curves of her body from her shoulder to her hip, to the curve of her ass.
'Emma what are you doing?' Regina mumbled, slowly stirring awake.
'I'm trying to decide which part of you I like the most.' Emma said slowly. 'I think it's your side.'
'My side?' Regina frowned and rolled to face Emma. 'What's so amazing about my side exactly?'
'It's the way your body curves. I love it.' Emma replied.
Regina didn't know exactly what to make of that so instead she leant in to kiss Emma lightly. 'We should get up.' she said softly.
Emma groaned and buried her head in between Regina's breasts. 'Can't we just stay here forever?'
'Sure if you want to be discovered by housekeeping.' Regina said, absently stroking Emma's hair.
'Fine. What time is it anyway?'
Regina leaned over and retrieved her phone from the bedside table, intending to check the time. Instead she found a text from Henry.
Hey Mom, you having fun? We miss you both. The town has so far survived without you but don't stay away forever okay? X
Regina frowned as a slight feeling of unease settled in her stomach; they hadn't even considered Henry in the actions of the previous evening.
She quickly replied.
Turns out I can suffer your mother's company better than I thought. We miss you too x
To Emma she simply said 'It's 11am. We missed breakfast by two hours.'
Emma shrugged. 'Ah well, we can eat out. Who was the text from?'
Regina felt a small sliver of irritation; she was tempted to snap none of your business but pushed the urge away. 'It was Henry.'
Emma could hear the change in Regina's tone of voice and chose not to press further. Instead she gracefully got out of bed and went searching for her dress that had somehow ended up in a corner of the room. She pulled it on quickly, not bothering to put on her bra and panties as she was only crossing the hall.
Regina sat up in bed and looked at her. 'Emma?'
'Yeah?' Emma turned to look back at her. She was so achingly beautiful in such a simplistic way, her dark hair spilling over her shoulders, breasts round and perfect, miles of soft tan smooth skin. For a moment she was simply too dazzled to do much more than stare at her.
'I'm sorry.' Regina said.
'What for?' Emma asked.
'I don't know.' Regina confessed. 'This is new territory for me, for us. I'm not quite sure what happens now.'
Emma moved back towards the bed and sat on the edge of it reaching out to cup Regina's face. 'I don't regret it.' She said firmly. 'I never will.'
'Nor will I.' Regina said softly.
'Lets not worry about what happen next ok? Let's just enjoy this time and for once do whatever we want to. We've earned that.'
'Okay.'
'I'm going to head back to my room to shower and get dressed, and then I'll come right back. What do you want to do today?' Emma asked lightly, pushing down the uneasy feeling in her stomach.
Regina frowned. 'Let's finish exploring downtown. There are still several inane pointless shops that we've yet to venture into. Then perhaps we could take a cruise along the river?'
'Sounds great.' Emma leant forward and kissed Regina gently on the lips. Then she bent to pick up her panties and bra, stuffed them quickly into her purse, before collecting her heels and heading back to her room.
She closed the door behind her and dropped her things leaning back against it and taking a deep breath. She meant what she'd said, she didn't regret what had happened between them and never would but she also realized that they had now opened a door they couldn't close again.
Their relationship had now forever changed and it couldn't change back. She wanted more. Or did she? And what about Henry? What would he want? Would the idea of his mothers being together please him or revolt him? Not to mention her own parents reaction. What would Snow say about her daughter being with her greatest enemy? Not that they'd been enemies for sometime now but still…
It was at this point that Emma decided to follow Regina's advice from the night before and stop thinking. Right now she was happy, deliriously so. She hadn't experienced a night like the one previous in her entire life and while they were here in this quiet town with no magic surrounding them at all, with no supernatural menaces to defeat she was determined to forget everything and everyone except the two of them and for once just concentrate on being happy.
She headed into the bathroom removing her dress and stepped into the shower. As she turned on the spray she nodded firmly to herself, before carefully closing all the issues and concerns she was feeling into a nice tight compartment and locking the lid closed.
These worries were for another day.
The rest of the day was wonderful. While they hadn't mentioned what had transpired between them it was present in every thing they did, every look they gave, every movement they made.
They began by finishing their exploration of downtown. Emma had gone into every inane souvenir shop (Regina's words) and had spent a full thirty minutes smelling all the candles in one particular store until she had finally selected a few to buy. Regina had endured it with a small smirk on her face and several snide comments. Emma didn't care, she loved candles and despite very rarely actually burning them she liked to collect them from different places she visited.
They had then headed down to the Riverwalk and after slowly wandering it's length they found a small business that ran cruises every hour up and down the river. The cruise they booked explored a large length of the Cape Fear River, travelling both up and downstream.
Regina and Emma stood outside together very close, almost touching but not quite (except for the occasional brush of a hand or bump of thigh against thigh). Regina despite trying not to spent more of her time looking at Emma than at the scenery. The humidity in the air caused the natural curl in Emma's hair to thrive and the wind bounced it back from her face and over and across her shoulders. Her eyes were dancing with excitement and her cheeks were reddened from the wind and exhilaration.
Regina had never felt so happy. However as soon as that thought left her she realized how fleeting this was, because surely things couldn't stay this way once they left here? Surely this magic free happiness was meant for here and now only.
She knew she couldn't have Emma once they went home.
She banished the thought from her mind and instead concentrated on being where she was in that moment and that moment only. She continued this philosophy right through the evening as they ate dinner at a pizza place on the main street.
When they returned home, they both paused as they reached their third floor.
'Uh I guess good night?' Emma asked uncertainly.
Regina just smiled at her then leant in to give her a lingering kiss. 'Good night Emma' she said softly, her eyes full of desire. She then turned and headed into her room, closing the door behind her.
Emma frowned at her retreating form and headed into her own room, frowning further as she sat on her bed and tried not to think about how much she wanted to spend the night curled up with Regina. She also felt somewhat confused because it seemed as though Regina has wanted that too.
Her phone buzzed. Emma reached for it hoping it would be Henry.
It was actually Regina.
I'm just enjoying a nice hot soak in my Jacuzzi. Care to join me?
Emma's stomach flipped over, and she quickly replied. What a delightful invitation. I'll be right there.
Her phone buzzed again.
Bring your toothbrush, and dress for the occasion. x
Emma smirked, so she would be sleeping in Regina's arms after all. Not that she needed her toothbrush, as her room was literally no more that ten feet away. Still she supposed she should follow instructions.
As to dressing appropriately Emma assumed less was more and choose to remove all her clothes and wrap herself in one of the inn's complimentary bathrobes.
She quickly exited her room and headed to Regina's.
She tapped lightly on the door feeling somewhat foolish.
'Come in dear.' Regina sang out. 'And lock the door behind you.'
Emma did just that. The room was in darkness except for a soft light coming from the bathroom. Emma headed on in where Regina was waiting for her. She was already in the Jacuzzi and had lit some candles.
'My candles!' Emma exclaimed as she recognized them. Then she remembered Regina being the one to carry them back to the inn after dinner. 'Huh.'
'You leave things with me they become my property.' Regina said promptly looking up at her from the Jacuzzi.
'Its perfect.' Emma said.
'Are you going to take that off?' Regina asked, gesturing towards her robe.
'Maybe. Is there room for me in there?' Emma asked.
'There's always room for you Emma.' Regina said with a smile.
