The Beginning
Emma
"I know you will be happy." Mom said to me as she hugged me tightly to her. "I really like her."
I smiled and quirked a brow at her. "I can't believe you never told Dad about me and Ruby."
"You didn't tell him either, besides it didn't last long so it was irrelevant." Mom said and looked across to Regina and Henry. "Well till now."
I looked at them and smiled…As Ruby had come up to the two and Regina was actively glaring at the woman. "I think the Ruby thing is best hidden… I don't think Regina is fond of her at all." We laughed and I signaled. "I guess I better go over there."
I walked over to my family… my family and I wrapped an arm around my wife's shoulder. "Ruby, are you flirting with my wife?"
"Well you just said that this was fake… " Ruby said as Regina leaned closer to me unconsciously. I smiled a little.
"Ruby… Back off okay?" I said. then I turned to Regina and smiled. "It's not fake anymore."
Regina smiled at me, and gave me a chaste kiss on the lips that took me by surprise. "Eww…" I heard Henry's voice from below.
I looked down at him. "Eww? I'll show you … " I picked him up and smothered him in kisses on every inch of his little face. He giggled and giggled and I couldn't get enough of his laughter. God I loved this kid. I caught sight of Regina looking at us. her smile just as bright and beautiful as the time I had seen her read one of her favorite books we have ever published. She had confided in me that the book had made her unabashedly happy. I was distracted by the smile and Henry was able to scramble out of my arms. "You're happy?" I asked her.
"I am… Very." She answered. I took her hand and began to lean forward when my father came up to us and cleared his throat. "Hey…" I said sheepishly to him stepping away from my wife… I know I probably shouldn't feel weird about kissing Regina in front of him, but… everyone here knew this had started off a lie.
"Your mother and I have a gift for you." Dad said.
"Next weekend, in New York, a sort of Spa holiday couples Honeymoon." Mom said.
"You get the week to yourselves to do what you want get to know each other without the Kid, and after you come home from the Spa, Henry and his things will be there. waiting for you." Dad said.
"And Me of course." Mom said. I smiled. I took the envelope in his hand and looked at it. It was at the more Posh Spa's in New York one where I knew Regina had wanted to go to for years.
"Thank you!" Regina said having seen the name on the papers in my hand.
"Yeah, thanks." I said and Hugged my mom, then reluctantly my dad. "But I told Henry he was leaving with me."
"We talked to him Emma," Mom said. We told him that you would go first, and then He would join you." I smiled slightly and leaned toward Regina.
"Is that OK?" I asked.
"Emma, I have to admit it will be really very convenient to get my things over to your place and not have to worry that Henry will get hurt in the process." I nodded and squeezed her hand.
After the small reception was over Regina and I walked to my room and had decided to leave on our alone week in the morning. we had tucked Henry in bed together, and then finally we were alone in my bedroom suite. I looked at her in her dress. She looked so beautiful in it She put it back on for our wedding, I looked down at my dirty gown. The gown had been a little dirty at the hem from the chase. but they were the most perfect stains. it was my grand romantic gesture, like in a romantic comedy. It had worked. I got the girl.
"Turn around Emma," she said to me. I did what I was told me, and she began to unbutton my dress. I could feel the heat radiating from her on my exposed skin. I felt her breath hot against me and I wanted her to kiss my back.
I shivered and turned to face her once her hands got the tightest button unfastened. I stepped out of the dress and smiled at her. "Thanks," I said. "That dress is heavier than it looks." I said.
She only stared at me, Like she took me in I should feel self conscious. but I didn't "Could you?" She asked turning around for me. I did help her with her dress, I touched her like I wanted, because I knew the only reason she didn't touch me was because she was afraid I'd reject her.
She shivered and I kissed her shoulder as I helped her slide the dress off. She turned to face me, her Brown eyes searched me. "Do you really want to do this with me?" She asked. "I'm not very good at relationships."
"Neither am I." I said and pulled her closer. "But it's too late to turn back now."
She smirked. "This day has been… Incredible." She said reflectively running her fingers through my hair, which had found itself loose throughout my very active day. "I went from being a lonely and very singular one, to becoming part of a family. A family that… cares about one another. That… was why I couldn't deceive them anymore, Emma. I hope you understand that."
"Yeah, I get it." I said "I just need you to understand that I really am here to be with you. I want you to know… that I want you."
"You desire me?" she asked with a smirk and a quirk to her brow.
"Like you don't desire me…" I retorted with a devilish grin of my own.
"oh… I've never denied that… I am a lesbian, and you are hot…" she quipped and began to shed the slip that she had worn under her gown. Then she sat on the bed in her underwear and began to remove the hose.
"Do you not believe I'm Bi?" I asked walking over to sit next to her.
"Have you been with a woman before?" She asked and I scrunched my nose.
"I have…" I said and went no further than that.
"Oh my god, I've met her!" Regina said with a chuckle and began to pace the room.
"Regina…" I groaned.
She smiled and came over to the bed kneeling down in front of me. "How about in New York?" she asked thankfully spearing me embarrassment of having to tell her about Ruby. She placed a hand on my thigh just under my slip and unfastened my thigh highs from the garters. I hissed as I felt her fingers graze my inner thigh as she rolled the stocking down.
"I… ah… uh… ah..." I tried to answer. she glanced up at my face and grinned as she did the same to the other leg."A few."
She chuckled. "Why so few?" she stood up and just stood in front of me between my legs. I placed my hand on her hips and ran them down her thighs and back up. "I don't know how to hit on girls…" I said truthfully, and I look like a straight girl. Boys are easier."
Regina leaned closer and kissed me. I deepened the kiss and grabbed at the back of her thighs to make her straddle me. She moaned low in her throat, then pulled back. "How do I know…"
I looked at Regina. she was beginning to panic. she was tense in my arms, and her eyes were guarded. "Regina… I am willing to go to jail for you." I said softly. "I don't know that we will stay together, but I am willing to try. That is all I can do."
She nodded and kissed me again. "Was it good?" she asked softly.
I was confused and I scrunched my brow . "What do you mean?"
"With the other women." She clarified.
"I guess…" I answered then sighed. "I can't say that I have ever had mind blowing sex Regina if that's what you want to know."
She took a deep breath. "Okay… " she said and backed off… or she tried. I took hold of her hips.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Getting ready for bed." Regina said.
"Really?" I whined. "I knew I should have lied!"
She looked at me. "What?"
"Regina You are not the only one that hasn't had sex in a while." I said.
She smiled. "You wanna go?"
"Please… I ain't too proud to beg." I said. Regina laughed and kissed me again and we fell back into my bed to end a long long dry spell.
Regina
Henry ran into the bedroom the next morning and laid atop Emma and I over the covers because Emma would not let him under. I wondered what it would be like while we were all in New York. Naked sex would probably be out of the question I know now. "I totally forgot to lock the door after I went down to get that last bottle." she mumbled. I looked over at the discarded bottle of Champagne that Emma had retrieved for us between a couple of loud mind blowing orgasms for a very surprised Emma. I have many skills.
I chuckled and looked about the room. I reached up at the bedside lamp where a slip lay discarded. It was Emma's. I brought it under the cover with me and I could feel Henry Settle between us cuddled in his mother's arms as I dressed.
"Mama Gina what are you doing?" Henry asked.
"Uh…" what do I say to the little boy.
"Kid, Mommy and Momma Gina are not wearing any clothes." Emma opted for the truth.
His eyes went wide then he covered his eyes. "Why?"
"We packed up our jemmies last night for our trip today." Emma said.
I smirked and slid out from under the covers now having put the slip on. Henry settled in my spot. Emma watched me as I sought out the dressing gown that she had left on the floor because I was painfully aware that the slip was quite sheer. "I'm going to shower." I said
"Yup, Hey Kid could you go get grandma to make us all a big breakfast?" Emma said watching me distractedly. Okay!" The little boy said and ran out of the door leaving it wide open.
"Close the door." Emma said to me. I did so, and the moment I did she was out of bed and pressing me upon it with a searing kiss. "Let's shower." she said once the kiss was broken and walked her naked body into the en suite bathroom. I just watched her dumbfounded for a minute. "Are you coming?" She shot back over her shoulder.
I shook my head and joined my wife in the shower.
We arrived in New York eight hours later. Goodbyes were grueling for Emma even though with Henry it was only temporary. She was moody for much of the limousine ride back to the City. Yes, there was sex… of course there was sex. I had to make my wife feel better after all. There wasn't much working at all.
We walked into the Roxbury and I was breathless. The lobby alone was as luxurious as I had dreamed.. Emma walked toward the concierge and said." This is my wife Regina Swan- Mills I need you to make her a Key please… also…" she looked over at me then back at the man. " I need for someone to help my wife move some things to the penthouse later this week. Please find me a good moving company."
"Yes ma'am" He said as he handed her a newly programmed key card and the mail. She flipped through it as she just kept walking. She handed me the card without looking at me and continued checking her mail. She acted rich… My parents are rich my ass. I followed her to the elevator, and she placed a key card in the slot. she has the elevator go directly into her apartment… I have always wanted that. Her apartment was large and modern and clean… why did I expect a mess?
"The housekeeper comes once a week… yes I am messy, with the schedule I keep I cant be bothered to do more than the dishes." She said as if she were reading my mind.
"Why do you live like this?" I asked and was surprised when the elevator dinged behind me and they brought in our bags.
"Mom and Dad got it for me when I first came out here. said they needed a safe place for Henry to be in this city when he visited. "I pay for the rest of everything. It's why I don't own a car." She placed the mail in a basket holding other mail. "Ready for the grand tour?" She said to me with a bashful smile.
She took me on a tour of the apartment. The kitchen, media room, the guest rooms, Henry's bedroom and playroom, and our room being the last stop. It was the only room that was a mess. "I don't like the housekeeper in here."
I looked at the rumpled bed sheets, and a coffee stained dress draped on a chair by the dresser places where her clothes had been strewn haphazardly while she packed that Friday. "I see." I said and I wished I had magic to make them all clean. She pulled me over to a door in the opposite corner of her clothing explosion and said. "You can put your clothes in here..." It was a large dressing room, connected by the master bathroom suite. Her closet was also connected on the other side.
I let go of my bag and turned to face Emma. "Thank you." I said.
"Yeah… of course." she answered. "I'm gonna go change the sheets…" she said almost shyly and turned away headed down to a linen closet in the hallway. She was embarrassed I suppose so I helped her strip the bed and change the sheets, and she smiled at me. "It's gonna take some taking used to."
"We're not alone anymore."I said to her with a smile. And we wouldn't be alone ever again.
A/N: how was that? let me know it! 'Til Next Friday!-S.K.
