Hola mis amigos.

I have returned from my summer hiatus & oh my gosh… what a summer. What a summer. ;0)

I`m a tad rusty and am not entirely happy with this chapter so I apologise in advance for quality, in all honesty I`ve really struggled to continue but I`ve ground something out as I must finish what I start one of my pet peeves is unfinished work but I do understand how it is… motivation or lack thereof and block are a terrible combination.

TW- A little bit of hurt & angst as truths are revealed & trust me, it never rains but it Snows. (she still needs a swift kick up the arse) Please don`t hate me oh & I don`t own OUAT or Regina Mills, looks like I shit out on both.

Flipped Ch10

Walking along the path leading to 108 Mifflin Street Emma had never felt such intense foreboding, the mansion loomed ominously as she waited for Regina to insert her key into the lock but before Madam Mayor could fully open the door Emma gently pulled her back by her sleeve.

Regina arched an eyebrow

"I was thinking that maybe we could talk out on the veranda? It`s more neutral. I think this conversation is… And I just need to be able to…"

"Run?" Regina snapped

"No. No running or poofing, remember?" Emma tried to reassure the brunette

Regina nodded her agreement calming a little

"Alright. I`ll just go inside, I would like to change into something a little more, casual. Perhaps you might light the fire pit? The afternoon air is still quite frigid and after your hypothermic escapade yesterday…" Regina did her customary eye roll "I promise I won`t be long."

Emma had forgone the sun lounger, instead opting to shed her boots to lounge in the centre of the daybed warmed by the fire pit nestled at the end of the veranda, there was no doubt Regina and Henry enjoyed a more privileged lifestyle than most. True to her promise Regina walked onto the veranda a short time later having changed into Emma`s sweat pants and T-shirt, something entirely more comfortable and comforting for an uncomfortable conversation, a conversation that had the potential if not handled correctly to devastate one, if not both.

"Comfortable dear?" Regina smiled, her eyes darkening with desire as Mr. Swan`s lopsided smile widened with every step the brunette took, Regina`s heart skipped a beat as the smile mirrored exactly that of Ms. Swan`s

I miss you Ms. Swan. Mr Swan is mighty fine but you, you Ms. Swan are incredible.

"Perfectly comfortable thanks" Emma replied stifling a yawn "Tell me, how do you make wearing my sweats look so fucking sexy?"

Blushing Regina cast her eyes downward, unable to meet Emma`s lust fuelled gaze, she was acutely aware of how easy it would be to just lose herself to the saviour completely and forgo the conversation they so desperately needed. Closing the distance between them Regina gasped as Emma roughly grasped her around the waist pulling her to lay flush against the length of her strong, muscular body.

"It`s time to resume the tickle war. I will be victorious" Emma goaded as she tickled Regina`s sides, the brunette giggling loudly as she writhed atop her saviour

Suddenly the air surrounding them was charged, thick and heavy instead of tickled and giggles, shared breaths, mingled and wanton gazes flitted between eyes and lips before mouths hungrily crashed together with fever. The burning in the saviour`s lower abdomen so intense she could barely resist ripping the clothes from Regina`s exquisite body, burying herself deep within the brunette there and then.

"Is it wrong" Emma breathed pressing chaste kisses to the hollow of Regina`s neck working her way up along the column to her jaw "That after making love with you for most of the night and well into the morning, I want to make love with you again?"

Slipping her hand beneath the waistband of Regina`s sweat pants Emma`s arousal flared as she gasped, "No panties" her hand continuing lower to brush fingers through Regina`s well-groomed patch of soft hair, the brunette arched her back spreading her legs to straddle the saviour in silent invitation

"No more wrong" Regina panted "Than after making love with you for most of the night and well into the morning, I find myself wanting to make love with you again Mr. Swan" Regina`s hand snaked between their bodies toying with the waistband of Emma`s jeans, her fingertips trailing along a sticky head and erect shaft.

"I`m an addict. Why can`t I get enough of you Regina?" Emma ghosted into the shell of her ear

Regina`s eyes fluttered closed as Emma`s fingers gently explored her drenched folds.

"Ooh…" Emma swallowed Regina`s moans as once again they devoured each other`s mouths hungrily.

Needing to feel her saviour warmth beneath her Regina poofed their clothes away. Released from its confines the saviour's sticky hardness rested rigidly between Regina`s intergluteal cleft as heated skin grazed heated skin. Pulsating and flooded with wetness Regina had an intense desire to mount her saviour, suddenly desperate to feel Emma length and girth inside her, stretching her, filling her. Dragging her nails along Emma`s toned abdomen the saviour trembled under her touch

"I have never desired anyone the way I desire you… Emma"

Pressing the tip of her middle finger against Regina`s bundle of nerves the brunette exhaled a shuddery moan as Emma`s fingers slid deftly between her labia only to circle her slick slit before stickily returning to continue circling her bundle of nerves. Regina`s hips rotated of their own volition trying to guide Emma`s deft fingers inside such was her need to be penetrated and taken.

"Emma" Regina growled throatily

Looking at the brunette straddling her waist Emma couldn`t withhold the devilish smile that graced her lips or stop the stilling of her heart as Regina worried her bottom lip in the most adorable pout Emma had ever witnessed. Deciding on a rhythm she continued to circle Regina`s bundle of nerves, adding slight pressure, rubbing faster the brunette began to slowly come undone. Throwing her head back Regina`s hands gripped Emma`s strong thighs as she rutted herself against the saviour`s hand longing to be penetrated by the stiffness that was being jerked unintentionally behind her as it slid along her intergluteal cleft. Body glistening with the sheen of exertion Regina began to shake, her breath shallow and rapid. Falling forward she arched her back all motion and breathing ceased as with a guttural exhale of "Emma" the world around her fell away. In one fluid motion Emma`s hands were under Regina`s buttocks lifting her onto her length which was swallowed greedily to the hilt by Regina`s drenched sex. Hovering a breath away from one another they both trembled uncontrollably, their lips ghosting, emotions spilling into incoherent words of promises as moans of ecstasy turned to white heat igniting within their abdomens that spread throughout their entirety with every upwards thrust and downwards rut.

"I Love you" Moaned in unison the only coherent declaration as Regina and Emma dove off the precipice together.

SQ

Sitting on the edge of the daybed Regina dejectedly pulled on the t-shirt she had been wearing earlier, she had hoped that after what was undoubtedly the best night and day of love making in her entire life she would awaken wrapped protectively within the tender embrace of Ms. Swan. While she wholeheartedly loved Emma Swan in whatever guise and although she thoroughly enjoyed every intimate moment she and Mr. Swan shared, there could be no denying that she missed the blonde haired beauty that was Ms. Swan and that hideous red leather jacket that she had grown to love. Mr. Swan was an interloper and as Regina had come to realise an altogether more complicated heart's desire to satiate and one she should have already divulged to Emma as for the transformation from Ms. Swan to Mr. Swan to have occurred the desire had to be felt equally. Pulling on her sweat pants eager to freshen up Regina tiptoed towards the mansion only to be stopped by a low gravelly voice

"Running?" Emma sat propped up on her elbows on the daybed

Regina refused to meet the saviours stare the embers of the fire pit suddenly becoming the most interesting thing in Storybrooke

"I need to freshen up." Regina replied curtly sweeping unruly brunette strands behind her ear

"Did I do something wrong?" Emma wracked her brain replaying the events of the afternoon since they`d returned to the mansion. We were meant to talk; we fell into the daybed. Fuck "I`m sorry Regina I should show some restraint. I swear I`m not a horny teenager, although this thing has a mind of its own especially when I`m around you. I just can`t seem to…"

"No. You were... it-it isn't that."

"So it`s something?"

"It is nothing dear"

"Then why is this" Emma gesticulated between them "Us suddenly so awkward and why won`t you look at me?"

Never one to shy from the challenge Regina glared straight at Mr. Swan propped up on the daybed looking dashingly handsome and utterly magnificent, she knew then that it was time. Closing her eyes Regina was painfully aware that what she was about to reveal would have consequences

"An incantation alone is innocuous it allowed only for stolen moments with your heart's desire. You Emma. The incantation conjured you. Ms. Swan"

SQ

Sitting on opposite couches a war of attrition raged the casual banter that usually flowed so naturally between The Sheriff and Madame Mayor was non-existent only uncomfortable silence passed between the them. Having freshened up Regina hoped her short absence would give Emma time to calm down, she was mistaken. Nervously swilling her tumbler, the brunette took a sip of the single malt whisky, burning her throat it slipped down easily warming her internally although the chill emanating from the saviour caused her to shiver. Occasionally lifting her gaze Regina`s heart raced Mr. Swan, Emma completely captivated her in whatever guise she was as Snow had predicted, smitten.

"Emma" Regina chanced "I realise our little tête-à-tête this afternoon didn't go quite as expected but we are meant to be discussing a solution to our… problem"

"Our little tête-à-tête?" Emma shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly "And when did this suddenly become our problem?"

"Yes dear, the little heart-to-heart that has left us both feeling rather emotional and exposed"

"I don`t know what you want me to say?"

Taking a hearty gulp of whisky Regina placed the drained tumbler gently upon a coaster, closing her eyes she whispered

"You could tell me how you feel"

"Because sharing our feeling`s is something that has always worked so well for us in the past right, It`s something we`re both so good at?"

"I didn`t say we were good with expressing our feeling`s but we could try to be, better?"

Emma paused, temporarily pushing her anger aside she nodded

"Ok." She drew breath "I don`t know how I feel. I think a little vomit made its way into my mouth but mostly I think I`m fucking Angry"

Regina was unable to lift her gaze from the hardwood floor

"Would you care to elaborate?"

"Would I care to elaborate, are you fucking serious? Would you care to elaborate?"

"Emma. I understand your anger; you have every right to be angry…"

"You understand my anger? You understand I`m angry?" Emma pointed venomously towards the brunette "I don`t think you have the first fucking idea about my anger, your Evilness. Do I look like a day out at Disney? This transformation has been anything but fun for me"

Regina threaded her fingers within her lap her voice vulnerable and barely audible

"I apologise. I didn`t realise fucking me would be such a mundane and uninteresting experience"

Emma scrubbed her hand down her face shaking her head

"You stated the transformation hadn`t been fun for you dear so I naturally assumed…"

"The worst of me. Why do you always think that Regina?"

"Force of habit dear. You believe the incantation to be tawdry and vulgar?" Regina`s eyes honed in on Emma

"Wasn`t it?"

"Certainly not, what do you take me for?"

"You really want me to answer that?"

"No I suppose not"

"So um, what did you, y`know do with, um… during your secret little trysts?"

"You're jealous Mr. Swan"

"And just to completely fuck me off we`re back to Mr. fucking Swan, of course we are" Emma threw her hands up in frustration "Do you realise how many kinds of fucked up this whole situation is? Of course you don`t I`m guessing this kind of thing was rife back in-in the Enchanted fucking Forest."

"There`s no need to be jealous dear I assure you nothing untoward happened. I have thus far only fucked one absolutely magnificent, delectable Swan"

"And there you twist the knife. You really can`t help yourself can you?"

"You`re right dear. I`m sorry"

"Are you going to elaborate with the truth Regina?"

Regina pinched the bridge of her nose a migraine imminent

Emma wasn`t ready for the whole truth, not the whole truth

"I made a mistake and I`m sorry. The incantation was an act of desperation. I was lonely and completely in lo…" Regina paused "I was afraid to approach you, to tell you that…" Regina looked away "Stupidly I sought help from the imp and made an incantation that would grant my heart's desire, imagine my complete surprise when…"

"Bullshit" Emma`s harsh retort shocked Regina who now glared slack jawed at the Sheriff

"Excuse me?"

"Your lying or omitting something important because nothing you`ve told me even remotely explains why I transformed into Mr. Swan when I recited the incan-whatever and accidentally broke the vial. So fess up your Evilness" Emma bowed mockingly

Damn your superpower Saviour, why can`t you just listen to your heart?

Regina`s temper flared, she wasn`t ready to divulge the complete truth and she doubted Emma was ready to hear, let alone believe it. This was after-all, mostly all of Emma`s own doing, she broke the vial and recited the incantation, but this was their, Emma`s and Regina`s deepest heart`s desire and if Emma would only stop and listen to her heart, like Regina, it would tell her the undeniable truth.

"How dare you blame me for your predicament. It was you who entered my vault interfering in matters that were none of your concern. Forget the Charming block you truly are a chip off of the old White block, making promises you cannot keep, falling in love with…" The Evil Queen trailed off "You honestly believe I want my true love to be the daughter of Snow White, the Saviour who broke my curse no less?" Regina snarled her lip cackling cruelly "I`m sorry dear but you are sadly mistaken. Being your true love is just another disappointment in a long line of disappointments I have had to endure and it appears I still have little control over my destiny with fate stepping in so graciously to torture me with its sick sense of humour once again" The Evil Queen spat venomously

Take it back Regina tell her how you are completely and irrevocably in love with her no matter her guise.

Flinching under the weight of her Queens acerbic tongue, Emma had her truths. Regina was once again forced into a situation not of her making she didn`t want to be Emma`s true love and the realisation made the pain within the saviour's chest unbearable

"I don`t know why I`ve transformed into Mr. Swan" Emma`s stated earnestly "But I do know it doesn`t have a happy ending for me. I-I`m sorry I caused all of this and came running to you for help. I`m sorry I`m such a disappointment but that`s not a new development I`ve always known, it`s been the story of my life. I don`t know what I was thinking, Queen Regina in love with Orphan Emma, I really am an idiot" Emma sighed dejectedly "Here`s the thing though Regina. I know in here" Emma tapped her chest "That I`d have fallen in love with you anyway. Fuck fate and its shit. I love you Regina Mills with all that I am because I choose to not because fate dictates. I guess the painful truth is that you don`t always get to live your life with the one who starts the fire within you" Emma rubbed her chest fiercely as she strode towards the door

"Running away Mr. Swan?" Regina remained detached, stoic

Always together. You promised always together. When will I learn? Love is weakness!

Emma hesitated in the doorway, returning Regina`s forlorn gaze she replied meekly

"True love is the strongest magic of all strong enough to break any curse. I should have transformed back into Ms. Swan immediately our lips met" Looking down Emma pulled the waistband of her jeans away from her taut abdomen "Nope still Mr. Swan. You do have a choice Regina; you deserve to be able to choose who you love. I just have to learn to live with your decision and its consequences"

"Emma please." Regina implored, rushing to her feet she quickly closed the distance between them "Have you thought that the curse you invoked is intricate in its complexities and requires something more than just true loves kiss to break?"

"Regina stop. Just stop."

Turning Emma walked through the vestibule closing the Mansion door behind her.

Walking along the sidewalk Emma could feel the base emanating from the Rabbit Hole through her chest, either that or her heart was trying to make a break for it. Inside the bar was semi dark, the air charged, super-hot and humid smelling of stale beer with a hint of sweat. The music thumped through the entire place raising the roof as whoop, whoop girls cheered and hollered as they danced closely together.

Spying her best friend through a throng of people Emma smiled, she was sure Ruby the slutty wolf cub as Regina so fondly referred to her would welcome the company of Mr. Swan. Sitting at the bar Ruby fell into the category of falling from sexy into slutty by exposing too much cleavage, leg and abdomen at the same time but none with exception of the girl's grandmother complained. The brunette with a striking bright red streak was hot and by all accounts dirty and the lack of clothes clinging to her shapely form exposing ample skin would affect anyone's libido.

"Hey Rubes" Emma slid onto the stool next to her best friend

"Hey. Didn`t expect to see you here. Mayor Mills let you out for good behaviour? You sure we`re even allowed to talk, Mr tall, blonde and handsome? It would appear Mayor Mills has claimed you as her own" Ruby winked cheekily

"Fuck Regina Mills, Mayor Mills and the Evil Queen"

"I know you have" Ruby sniggered as her nose crinkled, Mr. Mighty fine reeked of Madame Mayor "I know you have"

"Hey pal. What you drinking?" The barkeep shouted over the music

Looking towards Ruby Emma shrugged

"Shots?"

"Go for it"

Sitting unnoticed by Emma in a booth at the back of the Rabbit Hole Snow was enjoying a rare night out with Ashley when she noticed the abomination that was Mr. Swan sitting at the bar enjoying the company of Ruby. A devious smirk played across the pixie haired woman`s face.

I will destroy your happiness Regina if it's the last thing I do.

Ruby placed her index finger against Emma`s chest dragging it drunkenly down her shirt

"How would you…" Ruby paused to hiccup "Like a sexual encounter so intense" Another hiccup "That it will literally change your religious views as you scream to the heavens" Hiccup "Ruby. Oh Ruby instead of God! Oh God!"

Ruby and Emma burst into fits of uncontrollable laughter

How many shots have we had? I didn`t think it was enough to feel this wasted

"Sorry Rubes I`ll have to ass" Laughing harder Emma wobbled on her stool it was all she could do to keep upright. Narrowing her eyes, she couldn`t see straight Ruby`s head was already resting on her arms on the counter

Ah fuck!

Emma passed out

SQ

Thundering noisily Ruby`s door bashed against the wall several times such was the force with which it was thrust open the brunette`s head shot up from underneath the duvet, groggily glancing towards the source of the noise she squinted her eyes trying to focus on who stood with the light behind them in the doorway, Ruby crinkled her nose.

"Madame Mayor you can`t just barge in here" Ruby groaned flopping back down her head pounding, her mouth as dry as Gandhi's flip-flop

"Where is she?"

"What the fuck Regina it's too early for this, where`s who?"

"Don`t play coy with me slutty wolf pup. Sheriff Swan. Emma, the Saviour" Regina rolled her eyes

"How would I know it's not like she`s been returning my calls or texts, I`m only the best friend. Maybe she finally had enough of all your shit and she`s left town and run out on the kid giving you your heart`s desire? Now if you don`t mind, I don`t remember a whole lot about last night but given the way my head feels like manic miner on speed I`m guessing it was a hellova night"

"I bet it was. Pull back the quilt Ms. Lucas" Regina ordered

"What? Hell no."

"Now"

"Are you being fucking serious Regina?"

"Deadly" A fireball appeared in Regina`s hand "Now Ms. Lucas before I flay you alive"

Sitting up Ruby rubbed her eyes, stretching she realised she was completely naked and that indeed someone warming her bed

"Regina I swear I don't` know who this is, honestly I don`t remember much of anything about last night or how we got here."

"I think we both know that's not true Ms. Lucas so if you`d be so kind as to… make the reveal"

Ruby removed the quilt

"What the fuck?" Ruby leapt from the bed "Regina I swear." She held her hands up in surrender

"Ms. Swan"
