Ruby's day had been one of the longest of her life. She'd worked at the diner from five in the morning until closing before having to clean up from the long day. She was tired. She was tired of being hit on constantly at work, and she was irritated that she hadn't seen her girlfriend the whole day. Sure their first fight wasn't something to celebrate, but she assumed that Belle would have come by at some point today to make things right.
That is why she wasn't expecting the elaborate dinner set up in her apartment when she opened the door. She wasn't expecting the white table cloth with two candles lit on top of it. She wasn't expecting the soft music that played in the background or the mouthwatering smell coming from the food sitting on the table. Ruby couldn't help the smile that broke out across her face at the sight of Belle in that simple yellow sundress.
"Hi." Ruby said with a small smile walking towards her girlfriend.
"I'm sorry." Belle said quickly looking right into Ruby's eyes. "I shouldn't have been jealous. I knew before we started seeing each other that you had spent a few nights with the sheriff."
"No, it's alright." Ruby spoke up quickly. "What Emma and I did was honestly out of boredom. I wanted to be with you. She wanted to be with Regina. Neither one of you would give us the time of day. We had no idea you were having secret lunch meetings and talking about how much you adored us."
Belle laughed before swatting playfully at Ruby's arm. "We weren't doing that." She paused for a second before she laughed again. "Actually we were, but that doesn't mean I should have reacted the way I did."
"I love you." Ruby said taking both of Belle's hands in her own. "I shouldn't have made a joke about sleeping with Emma. It was stupid, and I can't stand here and promise you that I won't do anything stupid again. I'll try though."
"I love you too." Belle responded pressing her lips to Ruby's knuckles. "Now eat."
Their steak dinner with Ruby's favorite side, macaroni and cheese, was spent in relative silence as the two glanced across the table at each other. Belle was so beautiful with those flickering candles framing her face that Ruby had to remind herself to breathe slowly so that she would get enough oxygen.
When they were both finished they sat there looking at each other with simple smiles on their faces. Neither moved a muscle until Ruby was all of a sudden moving very quickly as she scooped Belle into her arms. She turned as Belle giggled. It was those moments of pure abandon when Ruby truly felt like she had finally found her happy ending.
She finally put Belle down when she reached her bed. She took a moment to take in the beauty in front of her before she kissed her. She just let their lips brush together before she pulled back and guided her hands to Belle's shoulders to turn her around. She unzipped her dress for her and held her hand as she stepped out of it before letting the woman turn back around.
"You are so beautiful." Ruby whispered on Belle's lips before she kissed her again this time letting her hands circle around to an uncovered back. Ruby let Belle's tongue enter her mouth the second she asked for entrance. She let them dance together as her hands ran up and down Belle's back. The kiss broke momentarily for Belle to pull Ruby's shirt over her head as their tongues began to move faster and their lips pressed more firmly together.
Their bras fell to the ground at the same time before Ruby lifted Belle again. This time it was to lay her gently on the bed. She kissed her quickly on the lips before moving down to run red lips over her neck. Ruby was gentle as she let her tongue caress every inch of perfect skin before she let her body move down lower to run her tongue over a hard nipple. She smiled into Belle's skin when the rise and fall of her chest speed up with each caress of her tongue.
She started to go lower, but a gentle hand on her shoulder stopped her. Belle pulled her up so that their eyes were level.
"I want you up here." She said as she pulled the brunette into another heated kiss. Ruby let her hand slide down Belle's body slowly before she slipped slowly under her panties. Before she went where she knew Belle wanted her she moved away from the kiss to quickly rid herself and her girlfriend of their only remaining article of clothing.
She was back to kissing Belle before Belle had time to protest. Ruby let her nails graze up the inside of Belle's thigh as her legs fell apart to accommodate the brunette's hand. Ruby moved slowly to her center as she pulled Belle's bottom lip between her teeth. She released it with a pop before smiling down at the beauty beneath her.
She let one finger run through her slick center before circling slowly around her clit and bringing it back down. Belle's eyes fluttered closed at the touch.
"Look at me." Ruby said softly as she continued her path teasing Belle. Belle's eyes locked with her own as she slid a single finger deep into her core. Belle arched into Ruby's hand, and Ruby could already tell how hard it was for her to keep her eyes open.
Ruby continued to move slowly in and out of Belle knowing that it wasn't enough to send her over the edge, but she wanted to bring her there slowly. She added a second finger, and Belle's eyes fluttered shut again before they shot back open wider than before.
"You are so beautiful." Ruby said again as she brushed every sensitive spot that she knew Belle had. Belle's light whimpers filled the room as Ruby continued to move slowly inside of her coaxing Belle toward the edge.
She withdrew her fingers slowly and quickly began to circle them both around Belle's clit causing her body to jump at each stroke.
Belle bit down on her bottom lip, and it was the sexiest thing that Ruby had ever seen. Belle's eyes fluttered closed again, and Ruby knew she was close. She picked up her speed as Belle pulled her down closer. Belle's breath came out in huffs onto Ruby's shoulder as she felt her place sloppy kisses all over the exposed skin there.
Belle bit down softly just as her body shook. Her toes curled, and she moaned loudly into the room as she felt herself being taken somewhere she had never been before. Ruby drew out every last whimper she could before she brought her hand back up to caress Belle's face.
She kissed her lips softly. "So does your leg always twitch violently when someone plays with your clitoris?" Ruby asked with a playful smile. "Or has my ten years of piano playing finally paid off?"
Belle chuckled. "No one has ever made my leg jump like that." She said as she pulled Ruby down for another kiss.
Ruby spent the night telling Belle how beautiful she was. In the moonlight that peaked in through the window to shine light on Belle's naked body, Ruby had never been more honest and more understanding of what true beauty really was.
The next day Ruby couldn't be bothered to care about the nonsense that happened at her job as she served the lunch crowd. The smile she came in wearing was permanently plastered on her face until Emma came in looking a little put off and upset.
"What's wrong?" Ruby asked as they made eye contact.
"A water pipe busted at the library. Half of the books are damaged." Emma responded.
"Is Belle alright?" Ruby asked immediately feeling her heart sink. She knew how much that collection of books meant to her girlfriend.
"She's fine. Everything is repaired now, but she's upset about the books being messed up. It was a huge section of the books from the Enchanted Forest that we can't just get another copy of. Regina is there now trying to fix it with magic." Emma answered.
Ruby disappeared in the back begging Granny to let her leave as soon as the lunch shift was over so that she could go cheer up her girlfriend. After a lot of begging Granny agreed.
The library was closed when Ruby got there, and she could tell by the darkness in the windows that no one was there. When she got to Belle's house her heart sank at the books that were all open on the front porch. Obviously Belle was trying to dry them out. Ruby could already see the smeared ink on some of the pages from the ink that would have been used in the books from their land.
She knocked slowly. She almost sighed in relief as a small smile spread across Belle's face.
"I heard you had a bad day." Ruby said stepping into Belle's living room. "I have vodka, chocolate, and my vagina here ready to put a smile back on your face."
Belle gave Ruby a little bit of a patronizing look then. "Sorry. I'm not tactful." The brunette responded. "I use humor when I don't know what to say. I do have vodka though and chocolate." Ruby said pulling Belle's favorite candy bar out of her pocket along with a flask of vodka. "And well I always have my vagina."
"Come here." Belle said as she pulled Ruby in for a rough kiss. Their teeth came together from the force of it before Belle's tongue battled with her own inside her mouth. Belle had never kissed her like this, but Ruby wasn't going to complain.
She considered picking up the smaller woman to carry her to bed before she saw the kitchen table. Ruby sat her down without breaking the kiss before she used her hands to pull Belle's dress up over her thighs. There was no time for undressing.
Ruby was on her knees quickly as she discarded Belle's panties. She stood back up to pull her in for another earth shattering kiss. Ruby moaned into Belle's mouth when she felt a hand slide under the skirt she always wore to work and underneath her already soaked panties. She let herself enjoy the sensation of the two fingers that slipped inside her before she added her own to Belle's center.
Their foreheads pressed together as they established their motion each pushing while the other pulled. Ruby moved her body up and down Belle's fingers to meet every single one of her trusts. When the smaller woman curled her fingers, Ruby cried out as she felt her legs get shakier where she stood.
Belle's body arched into her, and Ruby used her free hand to pull her dress and bra down to reveal one breast. It was enough for Ruby to latch on to as Belle's fingers continued to corkscrew inside of her. Ruby gave Belle's nipple one final flick with her tongue before she pressed their foreheads together again.
She picked up the pace as she moved inside Belle wanting them to come together. Ruby felt her orgasm approaching, and she knew it wouldn't be long.
"Come with me." Ruby whispered. That must have been enough as she felt Belle's walls clench around her fingers as painted fingers dug into her back. "God yes." Ruby shouted as she let her pleasure take over. All of a sudden her legs felt too heavy to hold her body up, and she found herself leaning completely on Belle who was lying down on the table. Her body twitched beneath Ruby's as they stayed there letting their breathing even out.
Ruby stood up slowly when she felt like she wasn't going to fall over.
"Now how about we drink this vodka and eat this candy bar?" She said smiling at the woman still lying on the kitchen table.
"Deal." Belle answered with a smile.
