Chapter Eleven

It was finally time for Emma's favorite holiday: Halloween. On October 31st Emma could be whoever she wanted. For one night she no longer had to be an orphan feeling like no one who loves her. Except this year she had Regina to really love her. They hadn't said the "L" word to each other yet but it was definitely almost there.

Tomorrow night was the big party that Jefferson and some of his actor friends were throwing. This would be the third time they were throwing a memorable Halloween party. Emma always came early to help set up and this year was no different.

"Emma, thanks again for coming over to help," Jefferson smiled.

"Of course! You know how much I love helping you guys with this. I'm just glad we don't do this at my place. It's too small and I don't want to clean up after everyone."

The party was held at Jefferson's apartment where he lived with three of his guy friends.

"So, are you going to invite Dr. Mills," Jefferson placed extra emphasis on her name.

"I don't know. I want to but I doubt she'll come because she's still my professor and this place will be flooded with students."

"You won't know unless you ask."

Emma smiled with hope. "You're right."

She pulled out her cellphone and typed out a text to the woman.

Emma: Hey. So I have something to run by you.

She put her phone in her back pocket and continued to hang up spiders in webs that lined the walls. Shortly after, she felt a vibration coming from her phone.

Regina: What is it, dear?

Emma: Well Halloween is tomorrow and it's my favorite day of the year.

Regina: I am aware of that.

Emma: Jefferson and his friends throw the best Halloween party every year. I would love it if you would come with me. But I understand if you're not comfortable with it.

It took a few minutes for Emma to receive a response which worried her. She was afraid that maybe she had pushed the brunette too far too fast. But she was still hopeful when she felt her phone vibrate again.

Regina: That sounds lovely. Will you please send me the details?

Emma: Really?!

Regina: Yes. And I assume a costume is in order?

Emma: Duh! I can't wait to see what you dress up as :)

Regina: It will be a surprise.

Emma: Okay :) it starts at 10:30

Regina: How about I meet you there at 11?

Emma: Sounds great. Can't wait to see you.

Regina: You as well, dear :)

Emma was even more thrilled for Halloween now that her incredibly attractive girlfriend would be spending it with her.

"Someone looks chipper," Jefferson nudged the blonde with his shoulder.

"Regina's coming tomorrow," she beamed.

"Ooh! I'm excited to finally meet her."

She was excited for him to meet her as well bu once they met, that would meant that everything between them was official. Emma wanted that so bad but at the same time it scared her like hell.


"Jefferson, are you sure this isn't too cliched of me?"

Emma put the finishing touches on her costume as she she looked herself up and down.

"Are you serious? Of course it is but damn do you look hot!"

This year Emma decided to keep it simple but sexy: the college traditional sexy cat.

"Well, I really love cats," she reasoned.

Jefferson guffawed, "And you love showing off your mile high long legs,".

Emma smirked, it was definitely true.

She wore black short shorts, a tucked in black tank top, some fishnet stockings, and a pair of black heels. Jefferson helped her make a tail out of felt and cotton which she effectively pinned on her ass. There was a headband with cat ears placed on top of long princess curls. To top it off, she had Jefferson do her makeup in a smokey manner that complimented her drawn on cat nose and whiskers.

The outfit made her legs look even longer than usual and the heels accentuated the muscles in her legs. All of the black that donned her toned body made her blonde hair appear even more golden and vibrant. She was a vision in the cliche costume and looked better in it than anyone else ever had.

She just hoped that Regina appreciated her assets and couldn't wait to see what the exquisite woman had planned for her costume.


It was getting closer to 11 pm and the party was already in full force. Everyone invited had been waiting for this party since last Halloween. Emma wanted to pace herself so that she wasn't a sloppy mess when her girlfriend arrived.

Speaking of Regina, where the hell is she?

The sexy cat was hanging out with friends and having a great time. She knew she would have even more fun with Regina there. Hoping to make time go by a little faster, she went to grab another drink.

Surprising her so bad that she jumped, a sultry voice crooned in her ear.

"Well aren't you one sexy kitten."

Jumping back, Emma was about to protest.

"Uhh, who do you think-"

Then she eyed the perpetrator up and down.

"Oh my god! Regina?"

A hearty laugh escaped from the woman's mouth. "Hello, dear."

"Wow, you look. Umm wow."

"I'll take that as a compliment," she gave the blonde a wide smile.

Emma took in the full sight of the professor's costume. She was dressed as a queen.

How appropriate.

Regina's outfit consisted of a black dress that was incredibly short in the front and had a train in the back. The top came together to form a 'v' which successfully showed a fair amount of cleavage threatening to spill out. There were silver jewels and sparkles all over the dress to make it pop. A large collar encased her neck at the top and sizable high heels with silver gems on the heel part of the shoe graced her feet. She appeared taller than with her usual heels and her tanned legs looked slender and strong. The finishing touch of her outfit was a black and silver mask that framed her eyes and nose. Even through it Emma could tell that she had the makeup of a queen on to match. Her usually shoulder length hair was now slicked back into a free standing up do.

"Holy shit, yeah you look amazing."

"As do you. I knew I always like cats," Regina leaned in to give Emma a kiss on the lips.

They were both grateful for having a moment where they could kiss out in the open even though they were surrounded by the student's peers.

"Is this the famous Regina Mills," Jefferson interrupted.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. No one else needs to know this is her," Emma warned him.

"My bad," he made the motion of zipping his lips. "Damn. Emma told me you were gorgeous but you are simply ravishing."

Regina chuckled, "Thank you, dear. Now it seems as though I am the only one here who has yet to have a drink in her hand,".

"Oh! Follow me. I saved something special for the three of us."

Jefferson led both of the women to the almost empty kitchen. He fished around in the freezer until he found what he was looking for.

"I saved the good stuff for when your lady arrived," he exclaimed producing a bottle of Grey Goose vodka.

Regina beamed, impressed that there was actually decent liquor at a college party.

Emma rubbed her hands in anticipation and got out three shot glasses.

Jefferson decided that there needed to be a toast.

"To new friends, love, and Halloween!"

They all downed their shots simultaneously before Jefferson immediately poured another.

"Regina, do you need a chaser," the blonde asked.

"Dear, I've been drinking longer than the two of you. I am perfectly fine, thank you." She took the next shot and didn't cringe as the liquor burned her throat. Then she flashed a pearly smile at Emma to prove her point.

The other guys who lived with Jefferson entered the kitchen and joined the three of them in shot-taking. Having started earlier, Emma was feeling pretty buzzed. Every time she drank it made her a little horny- well more than usual. Constantly looking at her über sexy girlfriend only made it worse.

The six of them were having a grand time and getting along amazingly. Between them all, they had almost finished the entire bottle of Grey Goose. The pounding of the music filled their ears and Emma could feel it beating along with her heart. She backed Regina against the counter and pressed their bodies tightly together. Feeling the brunette's breasts move up and down due to her heavy breathing, she stared agonizingly at her plump lips. Then their lips were pressed lightly together and the blonde's tongue teased the inside of her mouth. Regina placed her hands on the top of the counter for balance as she felt hands tease her at the hem of her dress.

They soon gained the attention of their friends who started teasing them.

"Quit making out and let's finish this bottle off!"

There was just enough for all of them to have one more shot. It was decided that they would take it wedding style. So the two women linked their arms together and poured the clear liquid down their throats.

They exchanged knowing looks with one another and Regina spoke up.

"I need to use the restroom. Emma, would you mind showing me to it?"

"Of course," she took the professor by the hand.

"You guys can use mine so you don't have to wait," Jefferson called after them.

Emma took them down the hall and through her best friend's room to his private bathroom. Locking the door behind her, Regina grabbed Emma and pushed her back against the door. Their lips collided in a rough hurry and Regina untucked the blonde's tank top from her shorts.

Her hand slipped beneath her waistband and was pleasantly surprised to find that Emma was already dripping wet. She moaned into Emma's mouth as she slid a finger back and forth through her. Using one hand to hold the other woman up and against the wall, Emma wrapped one of her legs around Regina's waist for more access.

The younger woman put her hands on Regina's shoulders and gripped them hard when she felt two fingers enter her. The brunette continued pumping in and out of her while she placed her palm on Emma's clit. She left kisses along her jaw line and neck in a furious manner. Regina was hitting all of the right spots so quickly that Emma felt herself lose control.

"Fuck, Regina. Please don't stop."

Regina whispered back into Emma's ear before giving it a nibble. "I wouldn't dream of it."

She thrust in and out of Emma's wet center even harder and felt a throbbing around her fingers as her girlfriend came. Pulling out, she brought her fingers to her mouth and moaned as she tasted Emma.

Emma wasn't sure if it was possible for her to get even more turned on, but somehow it was.

"This is the best Halloween ever," she said as she kissed her queen.
