A/N: despite there being several scenes between Emma and Regina in this episode, it was really tricky to find a line from which to springboard into legitimate sexy SwanQueen times. But here goes!
"Don't let your feelings cloud your judgement," Regina scolded as she looked past the windswept blonde to the collapsed wooden castle beyond.
Laughing, Emma squared up to the infuriating woman. "You think I'm acting on my feelings Madam Mayor?" Emma asked, "Believe me you'll know when I act on how I really feel about you."
"Is that a threat Sheriff?" Regina returned her gaze to the younger woman.
"No, it's a promise," Emma retorted.
Scoffing, Regina turned to walk back to her car where Henry was waiting for her. "You don't have it in you, Miss Swan," she said over her shoulder.
Without thinking, without considering her responsibilities, or even her son, Emma raced after the brunette and grabbed her arm. Spinning the surprised woman back to face her, Emma crashed her mouth onto the parted red lips before her. Tangling her fingers in thick silky locks, she pulled Regina's mouth harder against her own.
The older woman stood, immobilised by the brazen move, her brain struggling to catch up with the surprising turn of events. As she felt Emma's hot tongue force its way into her mouth, an involuntary moan escaped her. Never before had someone kissed her with so much passion, so much emotion, so much want.
Regina tentatively moved her tongue against Emma's, the sensation of the hot muscle making her core ache. Reaching up, she placed her previously limp hands on the Sheriff's hips and pulled the blonde towards her body.
Emma wrapped an arm around the brunette, drawing her closer still as their tongues danced between their mouths. She nipped at Regina's plump lip before pulling away to look into the face of the brunette. A mixture of shock and arousal greeted her. The Mayor was clearly struggling to process what had just happened and how she felt about it. Leaning back in, Emma placed a softer, slower kiss to Regina's swollen lips, feeling the older woman's fingers grip tighter on her hips as she did so.
Reluctantly, Emma broke the kiss. Resting her forehead against Regina's, Emma steadied her breathing before removing her hand from the Mayor's hair and stepping backwards.
"Believe me, I have been trying to be responsible and not do that since the first day I arrived in Storybrooke," Emma admitted as she grinned shyly at the woman standing before her.
"And you picked this as your moment?" Regina asked, "with our son sat in my car feet away."
Emma's heart leapt as she heard Regina refer to Henry as theirs and then quickly glanced towards the Mercedes to see whether he had witnessed their passionate embrace.
"He's got his head in a comic. And you provoked me!" she justified. "Are you complaining Madam Mayor?"
Cocking her head to one side, Regina regarded the younger woman. The memory of their kiss flooded back to her and she felt heat pool in her core once more. Whatever had just happened, whoever had initiated the kiss, it seemed apparent to Regina that her body certainly enjoyed it. Maybe her core had realised something her brain had not yet acknowledged, she mused.
"I have some ideas for building a new, safer play area for the children of Storybrooke. How would you like to come over tonight so we can discuss it," she offered. "I'm sure your input would be invaluable since you and Henry spent so much time here over the past few weeks."
A grin spread over the blonde's face. Regina thought she had never looked more beautiful.
"That sounds like a great idea, Madam Mayor. Thank you for letting me help. I'll see you around 8?"
"Perfect," Regina nodded as she turned to go, but not before winking at the blonde and running her tongue over her lips, creating a glistening, irresistible shine. She chuckled when a groan reached her ears as she walked back towards her car.
