"Hey there, Sheriff," she greeted the blonde, ushering her inside.

"Smells good in here. What's for dinner?"

"Turkey."

"That sounds great."

Dinner went relatively smoothly, only interrupted by the numerous times Regina had to tell their son to chew with his mouth closed and stop playing with his food. They sat in the living room watching television until it was time for Henry to go to bed, at which time he protested enthusiastically, begging for some sympathy from Emma, which he didn't get.

"No way, kid. Bedtime."

Throwing him over her shoulder, she carried him up the stairs and sat him down on the bed. Regina followed close behind, in awe of Emma's parenting skills. She wasn't as soft as Regina had expected her to be. In fact, she hadn't entertained Henry's whining at all. As Regina watched Emma tuck him in from the doorway, she couldn't help but smile at the touching scene before her.

"Goodnight, Henry," Regina whispered. "I love you."

Then, she turned to Emma.

"Nice job, Miss Swan," she said quietly as she shut the door to Henry's room. "I'm impressed."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because he usually puts up a terrible fight when it's bedtime. I usually catch him up late at night, reading with his flashlight under the covers."

"We'll just have to check on him in a bit, then."

"And what until then?"

"Whatever you'd like."

"I just told Henry he couldn't play video games on my phone because I don't like them, but... Do you want to play Xbox?"

"I thought you didn't like it."

"I like the way you touch me when you're... you know... teaching me."

A smile curled Emma's lips upward as she leaned in and planted a kiss on Regina's cheek.

"As you wish, my queen."

So Emma positioned herself behind her lover on the floor in front of the television and turned on the console. As they waited for the game to load, Emma slid her hands over Regina's sides, feeling each curve, making the brunette shiver under her touch. Next, Emma slid her fingertips just beneath the hem of Regina's pants and underwear, brushing the skin there. When the game had fully loaded, she pulled away suddenly and placed her hands over Regina's as the two started the match. After Regina had become fully invested in the game and had taken out more than a few aliens, Emma leaned closer.

"Your body is perfect, you know," the blonde breathed in her ear. "I can barely control myself."

Regina's eyes instantly fell shut as she sighed and leaned her head back onto the woman's shoulder, exposing her neck. Emma kissed it, drawing a soft moan for the brunette's lips, and she didn't stop, even when she felt the violent vibration of the controller in her hands signaling her that she was getting absolutely pulverized in the game. The harder Emma kissed her skin, the more Regina moaned, until the controller slipped from her hands and tumbled onto the carpet.

Just as Emma was about to pull away, distracted by the falling game controller, Regina whimpered, "Don't stop."

So Emma continued, slowly kissing up and down her neck until the mayor could no longer stand it. She quickly turned around, straddled Emma's lap, and took her face in her hands. Their tongues danced as they kissed, urging each other to continue.

"Don't you dare stop."

Of course, the sheriff obeyed, and it wasn't long before Regina was grinding her hips down against Emma's lap, begging for friction.

"Hey, hey," Emma whispered, grinning. "Take it easy. Let's get you out of these pants, huh?"

The blonde wrapped her arms around the woman and leaned in until the brunette's back was on the floor. Regina shut her eyes as she waited for Emma to embrace her. With a slow, agonizing pace, she removed Regina's work pants and slid her finger against the woman's core, making her buck her hips.

"Is this moving too fast?" Emma suddenly said, pulling her hand away and feeling self-consciousness she hadn't before.

"N-No... No... Don't stop. Emma, please..."

"Wait, wait," the blonde said, gently holding the woman's shoulders down. "I'm serious. Is this going too fast?"

Regina sighed, wiping the sweat from her brow, and confessed, "No. This isn't moving too fast. I've never been this happy. I wasn't sure before, but now I know. You're the one I want."

"I'm glad," Emma told her, "because I worked hard to win you over."

The two laughed as Emma held her close and covered Regina's cheeks with kisses.
