Continuing this! Super sorry for the delay, but here we go.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed Friday's prompt, now this one will be a bit on the more romantic side. I'm also gonna switch it up a bit, as they will be dating for this story, rather than being married.

Also it's been jokingly suggested by multiple people to put a NSFW warning on this fic...which I find absolutely hilarious considering the title and the cover for this story, but just in case: NSFW!

Prompt 21: Being shy about sex

Regina was horny. She and Emma had been dating for a few months, and their kisses and touches had the expected effect on her libido, so she was itching to have sex with her partner. But Emma never truly committed to having sex, always saying she had to go home after their date, or that she wasn't feeling up to it. Of course, Regina wanted to respect Emma's decision, but she was very curious as to why Emma rebuffed her advances, considering the woman was clearly very interested in the physical aspect of their relationship.

So one day, Regina sidled up to Emma, who was cooking dinner for the two of them. She wrapped her arms around her girlfriend and pulled herself flush against Emma's back and began peppering her neck with kisses.

Emma let out a laugh. "As much as I love this, if you don't stop, the food might burn."

"I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out," Regina murmured. "But if we're talking about things burning, I do have a burning question..."

"Somehow I figured that." Emma turned around in Regina's hold and smiled. "Shoot."

Regina bit her lip. It was easy to say she would ask, but she didn't want to upset Emma, she meant too much to her. "I'm not trying to pressure you to do it, but... is there a specific reason why you don't want to have sex?"

Emma blinked, not expecting this level of directness. "Oh. Uhm-"

Before Emma might get the wrong idea, Regina was quick to add: "I do respect your decision to not want to do it. I mean maybe you're the kind of person who wants to wait until marriage, but I'm just curious because you seem like you want to, but then at the last minute you change your mind and I'm just hoping it's not something I've done or..."

"Oh god no Regina, it's not your fault at all. And I'm totally not the wait until marriage type. If you forgot, I had Henry. I guess I'm just...shy about it." The last part came out a mumble, but since Regina was so close, she heard it.

"Shy? Why would you be shy? You haven't been with a woman before?" Regina asked, eyes finding Emma's to convey that she was in a safe space, that she could be truthful. They still had their own walls that hid bad memories behind them, but slowly and surely they were hurdling over them. This was clearly to be another one.

"I have...well, never one as beautiful as you." Regina playfully smacked her on the arm but let Emma continue. "It's just that, Henry's pregnancy- it left some marks."

"Stretch marks?" Regina clarified, wanting to make sure she was understanding it correctly.

Emma nodded. "I just feel so self-conscious about them, like I'm not pretty, and I'm just worried you might see them and be turned off and not want to have sex with me."

"Oh Emma," Regina whispered, before pulling her girlfriend in for a deep kiss.

They broke only to take care of the food, and once they were done, they ate a scrumptious meal, where they spoke of anything that they fancied, keeping the earlier topic closed. Once they had finished cleaning up, Regina took Emma by the hand up to her bedroom.

"Regina? What are you doing?" Emma asked.

"I am going to prove a point," was all Regina said, before pulling her into her bedroom.

Emma looked around at the room she had only visited once before. It was a room made for a queen, but she didn't have enough time to process the room before Regina was speaking to her again.

"Sorry, what was that?" Emma asked.

"I said that I will never force you to do anything you don't want to. So here's what I intend to do: I want to show you that you have a beautiful body, and I want to do that by undressing you and kissing your entire body. May I?"

Emma only paused for a slight second before she nodded.

After the nod, Regina stepped forward and tentatively placed her hands on Emma's hips. "Last chance..."

"I'm sure," Emma said, more resolutely.

With careful and slow movements, Regina lifted Emma's shirt and pulled it off her, discarding it on the floor somewhere. Regina licked her lips at seeing Emma's toned body. How anyone could ever see her as anything but stunning was beyond her. So she voiced it. "You are so beautiful."

Emma just remained rooted to the spot and said nothing, her brain clearly short-circuiting at the gestures and the words.

So with another step, she pulled Emma close to her with a searing kiss, deft hands working on undoing the bra clasps and discarding yet another piece of clothing. Breaking from their kiss, Regina moved to nip Emma's jaw. "Lie down on the bed."

Emma hummed her agreement and after Regina stepped aside, she went to the bed, a bright blush on her face, and a smile that was going to only keep growing throughout the night.

After she settled on the bed, Regina climbed on top and kneeled between Emma's legs, her hands running up and down Emma's clothed thighs, as she leaned forward to softly kiss Emma's face all over, ending with her lips. As she moved to kiss her neck, Regina murmured, "Gorgeous."

Emma meanwhile couldn't stifle the soft gasps every time Regina's lips touched her skin, and Regina hadn't even gotten to her sensitive areas yet. She felt Regina shift and kiss her pulse point, and Emma moaned, feeling the quick nip of teeth. "Fuck, Regina."

"Patience, my beautiful swan," Regina softly said, moving to kiss Emma's shoulders.

And so Emma could only throw her head back and allow Regina to continue her kissing to her breasts, the kisses making her nipples hard and perk. Regina didn't neglect to kiss her arms, nor her palms, before returning to kiss her belly and chest. All the while, Regina kept on whispering how attractive she looked, and depositing soft kisses that tickled Emma's skin.

And then she finally kissed her waist, right above the waistband of her jeans. Regina began to undo the button and the zipper, her lips moving back to Emma's own, sharing a deep kiss, before Regina parted in order to pull Emma's pants and underwear off.

Once she was done, Regina regarded her girlfriend and drank the sight in. "You are so pretty Emma."

Then she began to kiss Emma's ankles, and worked her way up her legs. She kissed her upper torso too, and whenever she found a faint marking, she would kiss it. "I love all of you Emma Swan."

Emma cupped Regina's cheeks and pulled her up so she could kiss her. "And all of me loves you," Emma responded breathlessly, unable to believe how lucky she was that Regina was so amazing to do this for her. But now she was quite wet. "Fuck me, please."

Regina grinned and then started to move back down her body, depositing kisses, going to lie between Emma's legs. "I thought you'd never ask."

And that was that! Next up we've got: Talking about (but not having) sex. I'll try to have it up later on today.

Love to hear your thoughts about this!
