NOTE: Making this the last chapter. It has to end sometime.

Emma sat up immediately upon waking. She looked over at the woman sleeping on her stomach beside her. Reaching out she touched her back and then touched her harder.
"What?" Regina asked rolling over.
"You are really here," she said in complete surprise. "You are really here which means last night, last night was real."
"Of course it was real. Just because you are the product of two idiots doesn't mean you have to act like one."
"But ... but the other times ... were they real?"
"You are being serious, aren't you? You are kind of cute when you are trying to think through something. Yes they were real."

"Why? Why all of this?"

"You mean besides the fact that it was fun and it was incredible turn on?" Regina smiled.

"Yes besides those things," Emma said in disbelief that this conversation was happening. She was beginning to think she was asleep still.

Regina propped herself up on her elbow. "I was your mom's stepmother. I have tried to run you out of this town. I have sort of tried to kill you. What about any of this would give me the idea that I could directly approach you with the idea of having sex?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"Exactly, so I felt the need to get creative."

"Creative? You have kept me alternating between states of frustration and extreme horniness for days. You have made me question my sanity. And then at your place when you acted like you had no idea what I was talking about I actually felt bad for coming on to you like that. I get it, we have a complicated history, but fuck Regina, there are other ways to tell a girl you like her."

"I didn't say anything about liking you. I just wanted to fuck you," Regina said slipping out of bed and picking up her clothes. Her back was to Emma so she didn't see the other woman smiling.

"This was just sex then?" Emma asked also getting out of bed.

"Of course my dear."

Emma moved around the bed until she was standing in front of Regina. "You know I thought you were a better liar than this," she said taking the clothes from Regina's hand. "But you aren't. This wasn't all about sex and you know it."

"I know nothing of the sort. Give me back my clothes."

Emma dropped the clothes behind her and invaded Regina's personal space. "You love me."

"Don't be ridiculous."

Emma kissed her and she was pleased when Regina kissed her back. Emma pulled back.

"You love me, and you are going to admit it."

She kissed her again before she could say anything. Emma wrapped her arms around her and deepened the kiss. She pulled back again and pushed Regina onto the bed.

"You love me, and you are going to admit it," Emma smiled. "But if you want me to say it back, you are going to have beg me for it."
