Emma awoke to the sound of hailstones crashing onto the Mayor's balcony. The room was dark. She turned over to see that Regina was already up. She glanced over at the alarm clock noting that it was nearly 5pm and jumped out of bed grabbing Regina's dressing gown that was still on the floor. She walked towards the large staircase and her nostrils flared as she could smell the unmistakable smell of apple pie. Emma entered the kitchen to see a very perky Regina multitasking to the max. Emma smirked at the clearly happy older woman.

"Morning Madame Mayor… or should I say afternoon or evening?

Regina spun around from the sink with a glowing white smile.

"Miss Swan… Did you sleep alright? I didn't wanna wake you. You really needed to sleep...

Emma walked over to Regina and gently cupped her face in her hand.

"Last night… I don't remember sleeping"

Regina leaned into her touch and closed her eyes. Regina hummed.

"Nor do I Miss Swan… last night was incredible"

Emma leaned in and captured Regina's lips in hers causing the Mayor to jolt like she had been given a small electric shock. Regina melted into the kiss as she ran her hands through Emma's curly blonde locks. Emma gently backed Regina into the counter edge and grabbed her waist hoisting the Mayor onto the counter top.

"Oh Emma…

Regina placed both her hands on Emma's face just as the doorbell rang. The two groaned in frustration and then laughed as Regina hopped down off the counter. The oven timer began to chime and Regina went to grab the gloves.

"Emma would you answer the door please?

Emma anxiously looked at Regina.

"Regina I don't think I should be answering the door… what if it's Robin?

Regina scoffed.

"My darling husband never rings the bell Emma! It's probably a delivery man or something, don't worry Robin is away on his trip"

Regina reached into the oven to grab the apple pie.

"Oh alright if you say so but I'm not gonna be the one who explains to whoever it is that a woman is answering the Mayor's door!

Regina giggled.

"I'm not the Mayor anymore dear…

Emma sighed.

"Whatever… Didn't you once say to me that the paps were trying to get gossip on your perfect marriage?

Regina smirked as Emma walked towards the door and opened it. Emma stood on the spot as Regina called out from the kitchen.

"I may have being over exaggerating a little bit Miss Swan. Now will you kindly answer the door like a dear and I'll plate up this apple pie I made especially for the woman who gave me two earth shattering orgasms last night"

Emma blinked hard as Neal stood shocked in the doorway as Regina's words echoed through the hall.

"Emma… You're back? I thought that you were?

Emma cut him off.

"Fired? Yes I was"

Emma wrapped her arms around her frame as she felt even more exposed.

"What are you doing here Neal?

Neal scratched his head.

"I am meeting Robin on a business trip later and he forgot some important documents. I said I'd pick them up on the way… I've been trying to call you... Mama said that...

Emma sighed.

"For what Neal? To tell me that you told Regina I was a liar? Or just to organize a quick fuck?

Neal stepped into the hallway.

"Now wait just a damn minute! What the hell does it matter what I said to Regina?

Emma began to raise her voice.

"Neal Jesus Christ! Do you not get it? I love her! I'm in love with her! I've quit the escort business and I am head over heels in love with Regina Mills!

Regina walked slowly into the hallway as Neal turned to see Regina also in a dressing gown.

"Emma…

Emma's eyes filled with tears as she turned to see Regina big eyed and staring at her. Emma eagerly ran up the stairs.

"Neal. What can I help you with?

Neal fixed his gaze on the confident brunette who was standing her ground.

"Regina I believe your husband left some documents I need to bring to him this evening… I hope you realize how important the repercussions are going to be if he finds out that his files have been corrupted?

Regina looked down at the ground.

"The conversation we had the other night didn't work you can tell my husband that I knew all along he put you up to it you pushover of a man. I trust Emma. You can also tell him that I had the best sex of my life. I'm not afraid of him anymore. I'm in love with Emma Swan… so if you don't mind I'm required elsewhere"

Neal raised his voice.

"Regina you don't understand! I'm here to warn you! He's going to kill Emma!

Regina's skin turned pale.

"What did you say?

Neal grabbed hold of Regina's shoulders.

"He threatened me after I tried to convince you to stay away from her… he said that I had to tell him if you were unfaithful and if I didn't comply he would kill me... he had a gun Regina… You have two days until he gets back…

Regina's tears filled her eyes.

"Thank you Neal…

Neal turned and exited the mansion as his phone rang in his pocket.

"Did she buy it?

Robin's voice was cold and dark.

"She bought it. I booked your flight for tomorrow night"

Robin inhaled.

"Very good my friend your money is being transferred as we speak. I always get what I want"

Neal hung up the phone and walked briskly through the hail.

Regina slammed the door and went into her lounge and eagerly clicked on the hidden compartment in her desk. She held up a silver gun she was saving for the moment she knew she would know she would truly need it. Each time she nearly used it she would always come up with a cowardly reason not to. But this was different. Emma was involved. She would not let him hurt her. She began to set a fire and lit it with a match. The flames danced as the hail swirled outside. The electricity began to flicker and Regina pulled out some tea lights and dinner candles from the cupboard. She lit them as the the house turned into darkness

Emma stood gazing out the balcony doors as the hail lashed harder. She wiped her tears on her sleeve as Regina embraced her from behind causing her to jump. She spun her to face her.

"Come with me"

Regina held Emma by the hand and lead her into the lounge. Emma smiled as the candle light danced along the walls. The fire was taking off and Regina had placed two pillows and a blanket on the floor. Before Emma could speak Regina's lips were pressed on hers. Emma closed her eyes as Regina held her hands and guided her onto her knees and lying her head onto the pillow. She opened Emma's dressing gown and admired Emma's toned frame. Somehow last night she hadn't taken the time to truly behold Emma's beauty and she was so wrapped up in it all. She ran her finger around Emma's nipple as Emma grinned. Regina undid her dressing gown and lowered herself on top of Emma.

"Emma… you are so beautiful"

Emma blushed up at Regina pushing her hair behind her ears.

"As are you Madame Mayor"

Emma gulped as she looked into the fire and closed her eyes and sighed. Regina turned her to face her.

"I love you Emma"

Emma's eyes shot open as the tears were back.

"You do?

Regina kissed Emma with such passion Emma actually lost her breath. Regina opened her mouth and hungrily caressed her tongue with Emma's. Regina's hand slid lower as she felt Emma for the first time causing her to whimper in delight.

"You are wet Miss Swan.

Emma smirked.

"You made me wet Madame Mayor"

Emma jerked her body into Regina as Regina entered her. Emma moaned out giving Regina the boost to continue.

"Yeah that's good Regina… keep doing that!

Regina picked up speed and attempted to rub Emma's clit. Which caused Emma to jerk upwards.

"Regina… are you sure you haven't been with a woman… Oh god!

Regina laughed.

"I've been with you in my dreams Miss Swan"

Emma's wetness grew as she processed those words moaning Regina's name.

Regina took Emma's nipple into her mouth and sucked on it causing Emma to start to shake.

Regina licked her way lower and made her way to Emma's clit. Emma's eyes rolled back in her head as she pulled Regina up to her.

"I need to see you too"

Regina rubbed rapidly on Emma's clit as she felt Emma clench onto the finger she had left inside.

"Regina! Oh Regina yes! Regina I'm gonna come!

Regina captured Emma in a kiss as she let her ride out the orgasm.

"I love you too Regina"
