Chapter 21
Mood Song: Again By Natasha Bedingfield
Waking up was easy. Even though she could not feel her arm and her neck felt as if it was about to break, Emma felt completely content. Before opening her eyes; she allowed the knowing that today was a new day to sink in. A new day with Regina and their son; a day with memories and an identity… a day that felt like love. It felt like fresh air. The blonde smiled and slowly opened her emerald eyes to find her beautiful son smeared all over the couch warmly tucked into a thick white comforter. She sat next to him. Her body also covered with another white blanket.
Her first instinct was to admire her boy and smile gently at the sight of his deeply slumbering form. She placed her fingers on his soft hair trying her best not to disturb him while satisfying her never-ending craving for his warmth and sweetness. He looked so much like Regina, her smile faded and she scanned the room.
A burning sensation began to form in the pit of her stomach. It was something like those hazy emotions that don't allow you to grasp on the difference between a dream and reality. Those that attack you in stealth because they are what you have been waking up to for more than a decade. As soon as she began to fall into a silent panic attack, she quickly realized she must be somewhere in the house.
The blonde looked up to the ceiling as she heard a gentle thud come from upstairs. She stood up as slowly as she could; trying not to wake Henry. She also realized that sometime last night she must have taken off her boots or did she?
As she walked up the stairs and into the hallway; she looked at a small antique clock on a table. It was barely 5:45AM. She was glad Regina's hardwood floors were not squeaky as she walked around the upstairs looking for her beloved's bedroom; opening a couple of wrong doors along the way.
Finally after a few failed attempts she realized a door was ajar. Her tranquil eyes gazed through the crack gently opening it a bit more. There… in plain sight was Regina's naked back; lacey black bra still in place as well as her black pants. It seemed the woman was getting ready to take a shower. Emma gasped at the sight of her undressed back. She suddenly remembered just how much she actually missed the woman. The blonde felt chills go up her spine, not because she was only wearing a tank top and jeans but because of the effects Regina had in her. Feelings had aged becoming much stronger and overwhelming.
Emma slowly walked towards the brunette approaching her from the back and firmly but gently placing her hands on her lower waist, and then softly letting them glide around her front. Regina jumped slightly; the blonde had been perhaps too stealthy and had entered the room completely unnoticed.
The older woman could feel Emma's dressed breasts on her back; along with her hip bones and front on her ass. The blonde smiled and quickly buried her face in Regina's alluring neck; her now short sexy hair provided her with easier access to this fantastic safe haven.
"Mmm it's ok… it's just me" Emma murmured indulging in Regina's addicting perfume.
The brunette melted in the embrace that sent a jolt straight to her sex and smiled; placing her arms on the ones that enveloped her lovingly.
Emma placed a soft kiss on the base of her neck; making her smile fade and be replaced by that serious and genuine look that only lust can paint across a human face. Regina tilted her head back; letting it rest on her lover's collarbone slowly satiating her thirst for Emma's touch. The lithe woman moved to her pulse point, sliding her warm wet tongue on the delicious thumping spot. Regina closed her eyes and broke down in her arms letting out a soft yearning moan. Emma held her closely in place with her strong arms. The taller woman peaked at the presence of a mirror hanging on the wall to her left; she slowly turned the brunette with her to face it.
Her green eyes admired the stunning woman in her arms through the reflection in the looking glass.
"You are so beautiful…" Emma whispered into her neck.
Regina looked at her own reflection in the mirror then quickly pierced Emma's eyes.
"I missed you so much…" Emma said softly and placed another knee weakening kiss this time on her earlobe.
Regina was attacked by a wave of goosebumps, and striking emotion. Her gorgeous brown eyes glazed with unshed tears that threatened with very mild stinging. The emotional orbs never left Emma's.
The blonde rapidly noticed Regina's sudden emotional shift and gently turned her around.
"Hey…" Emma said softly.
Regina looked down shaking her head; trying to dismiss the sentiment.
Emma's hands rushed themselves to cup both sides of Regina's cheeks and jaw. The blonde furrowed her brows succumbing to the heartbreaking tenderness Regina's obvious ache sprouted from her.
"Hey… look at me, please tell me what's wrong?" Emma asked wanting only to ease her ache.
Regina looked up and smiled blinking until her unshed tears disappeared.
"Nothing…" She said softly "I just missed you… that's all"
Emma knew something was bothering Regina, and she was more than ready to do anything to appease her.
The blonde caressed her face; drawing invisible subtle lines on her cheek while her eyes looked down to her gorgeous mouth.
"You won't have to anymore…" Emma tried to reassure her.
The taller woman closed the gap between them with a slow sensual kiss.
Regina's arms graced up on Emma's back pulling her closer. She wanted to deepen the kiss and did so by possessively invading Emma's mouth with her wanting tongue. The trespassing of lips intensified quickly. Emma placed her hand on Regina's lower back and pulled her even closer; practically burying her into her own sex.
The blonde noticed her move melted Regina; making her crumble into a whimper.
"I need you" Regina said after she broke the kiss and began to undo Emma's belt with burning desire. "Is Henry still asleep?" The brunette asked while delivering wanting kisses throughout the blonde's neck.
"Ah…" Emma moaned as Regina sneaked her hands up her black tank top and drew her nails on her white back. "Yes… and I locked the door behind me" The woman managed now vigorously turned on.
The ministrations Emma had started so slowly and gently quickly turned into hasty rushing ones. Regina unbuttoned Emma's jeans and passionately buried her hand into her pants making the taller woman almost lose her ground.
Regina felt the pang hit her own core, as her now drenched fingers discovered just how soaked Emma was.
"God I had forgotten how wet you get…" Regina whimpered with closed eyes into her lover's ear.
Regina always adored the irreversible effects she had on the blonde, the aching pleasure this caused within her was unhealthily corrupting; the brunette grinned with eyes closed still. She slid her fingers up and down through gushing wet folds while spreading the slippery elixir on her clit.
Emma moaned and lost her mind. She broke the passionate kiss and pushed her jeans down and took off her top discarding it carelessly; then moved to practically rip Regina's black pants off of her. In the mean time, the brunette reached to her own back and undid her bra, letting it fall to the floor only to almost die as she felt a kneeling Emma assault her sex with desperate wet French kisses.
Regina opened her mouth unable to cry out in pleasure; she placed her hand on the back of Emma's head urging her on. The brunette opened her legs a bit more, which allowed her to set both feet on a steadier and grounding position. The whole feet planting served her of nothing, since she almost fell as Emma caught a better grasp of her wanting core and rammed her tongue inside her. The agile blonde caught her, and kept her right in place with her strong arms.
Emma rose up and kissed her lascivious swollen lips, allowing Regina to taste herself on the blonde's mouth. The arousing scent of her now drenched sex awoke every carnal sense within the former Queen.
Emma placed both hands strongly on Regina's torso and proceeded to lift her up while still lost in their deep erotic kiss. The brunette swiftly jumped and placed both her voluptuous legs around Emma's lower hips.
The older woman looped her arms around her neck while Emma carried her to the plush crisp bed.
After a few steps, the taller woman felt the cold comforter on her knees; and that was her queue to gently place her Regina on the soft pristine bed.
Never breaking the contact, Emma crawled onto the bed and placed both her knees on Regina's sides holding herself up with both flexed arms; palms steady on the bed. The blonde could feel how much the brunette wanted her with every pant and reveling eyes. She pierced Regina's orbs with hers; the older woman looped her arms on the blonde's neck crossing them on her back. The former Queen bucked her hungry hips forward, and Emma began to sensually grind her hips. The stunning line of her toned back curved in the small of it, her sumptuous ass swayed in an alluring snake like motion. She stroked her quenched sex against Regina's throbbing one.
The brunette's moans and pants inspired every single increase of pace in each thrust. Faster and faster
"Emma please…" Regina managed submerged within the overflowing arousal caused by the deliciously obscene movements.
She needed Emma inside her now.
"I need you please…" Regina begged.
The exhilarated blonde's entire body was covered in sweat, her skin flushed. She complied and borrowed one of her steady supporting arms leaving only one in place. She squeezed her hand between their rocking pelvis' and penetrated Regina with two fingers without anticipation.
The brunette's yearning sex welcomed the fulfilling invasion releasing a greedy cry.
The blonde began to thrust in and out with rapid speed. She opened her fingers motioning a V inside her panting lover, making Regina feel completely full. She felt her deeper and closer, in a more extravagantly cramming way.
Emma was lost in the expression this move was contorting Regina's face into.
The brunette increased her thrusting and grinding speed, her perfect torso moving graciously; her ribcage inhaling and exhaling flexing every beautiful muscle of her athletic body; her mild round breasts gracing against Regina's.
Both women were reaching their zenith. The friction of Regina's sex and her own hand penetrating the brunette rapidly took her to the close edge. Regina's mouth was agape, consumed with ecstasy. She pierced Emma with her brown eyes, and the blonde decided to continue the grip and engaging eye contact. She needed Regina to know that she was there for her.
The brunette began to collide with her orgasm, still looking into her eyes. And that was enough to send Emma to the moon with her own ripping climax. Both women's panting increased, but Regina's turned into deep choking sobs. Her emotional eyes reveled her in her weakest state as she began to cry desperately gasping for air.
Emma almost broke down as she furrowed her brows, her love was practically crumbling in her arms.
"Hey hey hey…. Shhh… baby what's wrong? Regina please tell me what's wrong- Did I hurt you?" Emma begged trying to calm her down.
Emma leaned down still panting from the throbbing orgasm and placed a kiss on Regina's swollen lips.
Regina's eyes ached with so much vulnerability; she was so grateful for the safety of Emma's chest still above her.
The moment was deep and enthralled with sentiment.
"Emma I'm so scared…" Regina cried while sobbing.
The blonde's heart broke for her adored Regina, in truth she felt scared too. She knew that she would literally disappear if she were to lose her family again. The blonde caressed Regina's face reassuringly.
"Shhh… I'm here its ok I promise" Emma whispered while placing a kiss on her forehead; wiping her tears away.
Emma looked deeply into Regina's eyes "Regina I love you" The woman admitted for the first time. "I know I never said it before but I felt it, every second and you have no idea how much I regretted not having the chance to tell you… I love you so much, I am so sorry you had to go through everything alone" Emma said lovingly. She could not stand seeing Regina cry.
"I love you" Regina said and began to slowly calm down. She pulled Emma down into an intimate wet hug.
"I'm not going anywhere I promise… I will protect you both with my life I swear" Emma finished tucked in Regina's neck.
After taking a shower, both women descended down the stairs holding hands. An hour had passed and their son was still out.
Stunning Regina was wearing a grey short dress makeup and hair in place; the woman was still barefoot. Emma wore Regina's black long silk robe; her hair still damp.
"He's a heavy sleeper wow… he's still out cold" Emma said while peaking over to the couch.
"He used to cry whenever I woke him up… he would just sleep right through if I didn't though" Regina said smiling "He definitely did not get that from me" She said and looked over her shoulder at the woman now holding her from the back.
"What are you trying to imply with that look?" Emma said 'defensively'
Regina's eyes narrowed.
"Emma…"
"Alright, alright… guilty…" Emma admitted rolling her eyes.
Regina scoffed and laughed lightly.
The brunette patted Emma's embracing arms and broke free from the contact. She walked off.
"Hey… where are you going?"
"I am going to make breakfast for my son" Regina said relishing the moment.
"What about me?" Emma asked motioning with her arms as she followed Regina into her immaculate kitchen.
Regina smiled teasingly.
"After what I just did to you it's the least I deserve… not to mention the slap that almost knocked all of my teeth out"
Regina slapped Emma's arm lightly.
"Hey! That does not count – the slap I mean"
"Excuse me? I almost swallowed my own tongue… it most definitely has to count for something" Emma said defensively joking.
Regina smiled feeling a bit embarrassed and embraced Emma. They were now inches apart.
"I told you how sorry I am about that… I mean it" Regina said laughing lightly.
"You are laughing oh my God…" Emma said wide eyed.
"I'm sorry…" Regina said again; then placed a kiss on the now scabby laceration "I'm sorry" She repeated the gesture. "And by the way I meant to say, I am going to make breakfast for my family"
Emma melted "Mmm… I love the sound of that" The brunette smiled and gently kissed her Queen on her perfect lips.
"You are so easy…" Regina teased smiling.
The smell of pancakes woke Henry right up, luring him into the kitchen.
Emma and Regina kissed, while the brunette held a spatula over Emma neck.
Henry blushed and smiled standing by the kitchen's entrance.
The boy cleared his throat and Emma's green eyes opened wide still engaged in the kiss. Did this qualify as too much for the boy too soon? She didn't want to scar him. She quickly realized no one was naked, hands were in decent places. Phew.
Regina on the contrary smiled and gently broke the kiss.
"Good morning my love come here…" She said lovingly with open arms.
Emma had never seen this side of Regina, not even with herself. There was a mesmerizing quality to the look in her eyes whenever she addressed their son. Their relationship was simply special.
Henry smiled and collided into his mother's chest.
The brunette placed a kiss on his cheek while Emma ruffled his blonde hair.
The new mother was not expecting the boy to latch onto her waist after releasing Regina, the brunette simply smiled.
"Good morning mom…" Henry told an astonished Emma.
Everything was so new to her, yet she loved every single instant.
"Good morning kid…" She said and kissed him on the top of his head.
"I made you your favorite…" Regina said.
Henry smiled and sat on one of the stools at the dining area.
"Thank you mamma…"
"You are most welcome love, the last time you ate these you were three years, nine months and sixteen days old…" Regina finished with a longing look in her now reddened eyes.
Emma watched them leaning on the counter, but quickly winced as she felt the air shift around Regina.
She embraced the brunette from the back and placed a chaste kiss on her cheek.
"Can you believe I've never had the pleasure of tasting your mamma's cooking?" Emma said to Henry trying to stall and distract Regina from making herself sick again.
Henry arched an eyebrow with relish. "It's the best" He said and smiled slyly.
Emma heard the sound of her cell phone emanate from the living room.
"Ah… that's me excuse me my loves" The new words fell from her mouth with ease as she exited the kitchen.
"Hello?" Emma answered her phone after touching its screen.
"Emma good morning honey" Said Snow.
"Good morning mom…"
"I took the liberty of using your father's phone… he's still asleep - How are you guys? Everything ok over there?"
"Yeah… Regina is in the kitchen with Henry making breakfast… how about you two?"
"We're ok love… but I'm glad I caught you while away from them…"
"Why? What is it mom?"
"Emma we need to talk… Gold- that imp Rumpelstiltskin was the one who abducted Henry and I from the camp and Henry actually remembers it too"
Emma eyed over her shoulder and brought her voice to whispers "Mom not now… Regina is very sensitive at the moment I don't want to upset her…"
"But Emma dear we-"
"We will… I promise, but not right now… let's meet later. - ok See you then… I love you too" Emma finished.
"Who was that?" Regina asked gently while approaching Emma.
"My mom… she just wanted to make sure we were ok"
Regina accepted Emma's words.
"Your food is getting cold let's go" The brunette commanded arching an eyebrow.
"Grrr yes ma'am" Emma joked suggestively smiling.
Regina smiled and rolled her eyes. Some things never change… and that was just perfect for her.
