A/N- Thank you for all the reviews :) They encourage me to update more quickly! I must add a disclaimer here about sexual content and faux resistance of one character to the sexual advances of another. Honestly, most of you have come to expect this from me, but I wanted to forewarn you anyway. Oh, yeah...I don't own anything :) Enjoy.

They searched. And they searched. And then, they searched some more. Emma and Regina scoured every floor and corner for a hint of magical concealment. The brunette even used a spell from the book designed to reveal the whereabouts of items hidden by magical means. There was no sign either of the magical looking-glass that Regina had mentioned.

"It's not here!" Emma drove her fist into solid wall the second time that day.

"Miss Swan, please refrain from breaking your hand!" The blonde brought her bloodied knuckles up to her mouth and sucked them, but Regina snatched them and after a few swiped of her fingers, the flesh was healed.

"This is so damn frustrating!"

"We will find it." Regina said solemnly. "We have to; we have to get to Henry." She said quietly and stood in the window of the tower where they had begun and ended their search. The air rippled through her long, dark hair and Emma marveled at the color of her olive skin in the orange of the setting sun.

"What happens when we get him?"

"We bring him back home, of course."

"Where?"

Regina turned with narrowed eyes. "I don't know what you mean."

"What about this?" She gestured between them

"What about it?" The brunette turned her back again. "Do you need a label for this? Do you need me to tell you we are lovers?" Emma remained silent. "Because I think it's obvious we can't keep our hands off each other. The tension is palpable."

"Exactly, you don't think Henry and Snow and David and all the rest of the Disney characters will pick up on that?"

"They're not Disney characters." Regina turned and walked out of the room, restless and needing to move. She swept a hand back through her curls nervously as the blonde followed her doggedly down the hall and into one of the immaculately furnished bedchambers. "And yes, I'm aware that they will suspect. But so long as we're careful-"

"Careful? That's rich." Emma burst out. "As long as we're careful, what? We won't be found out?" Regina watched her with dark eyes and pursed lips. "I'm not asking you to move in, Your Majesty. Hell, I don't even know what I am asking for. But if we lie to Henry or ask him to lie to others, that will really, really fuck him up." She said succinctly.

"I simply do not want everyone in my business."

"You're the Evil Queen and I'm the Savior! People are just going to be in our business!" She stood nose to nose with the woman. "That's how it works."

"This is complicated."

"Welcome to relationships."

"You don't seem to have considered that perhaps I don't want a relationship with you." Regina said menacingly. "Perhaps I only want to fuck you."

Emma's blood boiled at the woman's jab, but she couldn't deny the arousal she got from hearing the regal woman curse or seeing the glimmer of challenge in her eyes. "Oh, I know that you want to fuck me, but you want something else as well." The blonde accused her.

"Oh, dear, how very wrong you are. I simply desire you." She slipped back into Evil Queen mode effortlessly and the blonde found herself suddenly warm.

"Well, you won't be getting what you desire until you can be honest with me about what it is that you really want."

Regina grinned wickedly. "Are you telling me no?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe I am." Emma's anger burst forth with more resolve than she really felt, considering her underpants were considerably more moist than they had been. "And you can go fuck yourself with this Evil Queen nonsense because-"

But suddenly, Regina grabbed her by the front of her tunic and ripped. It tore in two and slid down her body along with the rest of her clothing. Emma felt her hand cupping her sex and spreading the wet, slick heat across her body. "Oh, I think you are enjoying this Evil Queen nonsense quiet a great deal." She cackled. "And now, my dear, I will do what I've been longing to do since you drove that disgusting, yellow, bug into Storybrook."

She pushed her roughly onto the bed and Emma found herself immediately bound and gagged with silk. She looked up with a small amount of apprehension. Last time the blonde had found herself at the mercy of the woman, her own magic had come to her rescue and surprised her lover. But now, Regina knew all about her defense mechanism and surely would fight it. The blonde wiped the worried look off her face as she watched the brunette stalk closer to the bed.

"Now, Miss Swan, we will continue our lessons." She hiked up her skirt to straddle the woman and as her center hit Emma's stomach, the blonde realized she wasn't wearing underpants. She fought the desire to moan into the silk at her mouth. "Let us recap." Regina said.
