Waking up the next morning, the warm summer sun peaking through the curtains, was delightfully pleasant for both women. Regina woke first, rolling over onto her back in bed making sure not to wake Emma ; she smiled at the way the blonde's arm was draped possessively over her, a hand on her breast. Giggling lightly she attempted to wiggle her way out from under her bedmate's grasp , taking the light sheet that had been covering them as they slept with her, leaving Emma laying there as naked as the day she was born. She shuffled her way over to her girlfriend's side of the bed quietly sitting down on the edge of the mattress, turning to face the slumbering figure before her. Trailing her fingers down Emma's shoulder to her back to the cleft of her butt , she sighed contentedly , not believing that they had finally given in to their feelings. It felt like it had been decades, the waiting and wondering. 'Does she like me or not.' was a constant question in her mind as well as the other woman's.

Feeling 'sticky' she stood up getting ready to head to the bathroom to clean up after the incredibly erotic night she had to take a shower. Unable to walk much further than a couple of inches she looked around trying to find what was preventing her from moving on. Finding Emma clinging onto the sheet she chuckled glancing over at her sleepy girlfriend noticing that she had awoken, still lying on her stomach, and was now hanging onto the bedding, "Where do you think you're going young lady?" She asked earning her a generous smile.

"Well I am going to take a shower because someone made me all 'sticky' last night." She answered in a husky voice with a raised eyebrow. Her eyes raking over her lover ' s still naked figure she proposed, "Would that someone like to join me? Conserve water?" A mischievous eyebrow raised once again.

Gripping the sheet even tighter, the blonde yanked incredibly hard whipping the sheet from around Regina's trim yet slightly voluptuous body leaving her as equally naked as Emma, "Why don't you just come back to bed babe?"

"If I did that I have a feeling we'd never leave the bed." A sultry look appeared on her ethereal visage, she questioned. "Right?" Standing she was endeavoring to cover herself with one hand over her sable colored mound and the other arm tightly across her breasts.

"Baby? What the hell do you think you're trying to do, hide from me?" Running her hand through golden strands she chuckled softly and spoke. "Because after last night I think I'll always have the image of your heavenly body seared into my mind, okay? So stop it already and gimme a kiss , then we can go take a shower. Together." She said finishing the statement with a low growl that Regina almost missed...almost.

Dropping her hands the chocolate haired woman sauntered over to the disheveled bed, fitted sheet crumpled up and coming off the corners, comforter flung across the room since it was way too hot for it, leaning over her girlfriend placing a soft subtle kiss on thin pink lips. Before she knows it she's being pulled down on top of the goldenrod woman's muscular body. Easing herself down, hands on either side of her girlfriend's body she delved into the erotic lip lock ; they pressed their breasts against one another , moaning into each others mouth capturing the arousing sound. Regina's hands were tangled in yellow strands as Emma's were lightly scratching up and down the former's back and butt earning a giggle every time she got to her ass. Pulling back just far enough to talk, "I didn't know you were ticklish on your ass!" exclaimed the currently submissive woman.

"I actually didn't know either."

A quizzical expression covered Emma's face, "How could you not know?" Her hands still stroking the brunette's back only this time. "Didn't Robin ever touch your butt during sex or even just walking around?" She whispered an inch away from her girlfriend's plump cherry lips.

Turning a dark shade of red, "Uhhh we never actually ever had sex. We just fooled around. You know everything EXCEPT sex practically." Feeling shame she rolled off of Emma and sat on the edge of the bed head in her hands. "I can't believe I ever let that monster touch me!" Trying to keep her emotions in check she began sobbing uncontrollably into her palms.

"Shhhh babe, it's okay." Sitting up, the blonde pulled her into her chest trying to console her.

Fortunately Regina was from hearty stock and calmed down quickly, rubbing her clogged nose and clearing her throat, "I'm okay Emma. I just wish this whole thing with him would go away."

"I know baby." She stroked her short charcoal hair gently. "It'll be over soon. We just need to wait for Mal to get back to us in order to see exactly what we can do, you know that , " Emma continued while kissing the side of her neck behind her ear - a spot that makes Regina go crazy. "Okay, so how about we go take a shower, no funny business, well maybe a little, then we'll make breakfast and discuss what else we should do for the rest of the day?"

Shaking her head in the affirmative Emma collected Regina in her arms, the skin on skin contact was comforting to them both, and walked to the large bathroom.

After taking their time and meticulously drying each other off and pampering one another with apple body butter, the lovers wrapped themselves in flocculent robes. They made their way to the spacious kitchen, always needing to be touching the other, they held hands.

Grabbing red peppers, ham, spinach, mushrooms and shredded cheese they embarked on making omelettes, bacon and apple juice. The air filled with a savory salty pepper smell making Emma almost drool and causing her stomach to rumble loudly, echoing throughout the room. As Regina laughed at her lover she dished up the omelettes and bacon while Emma filled two glasses with apple juice and placed them on the island in the center of the kitchen. Sitting down on two tall bar stool like chairs the women ate in comfortable silence ; they stared at each other when they weren't looking at their food to scoop it up smirking at each other in new bliss.

'My God! How did I get so lucky?' Emma wondered to herself. 'Last night was incredible but how do I tell Regina what Robin said he was gonna do to me without scaring her?' Internally cringing. "So. What are we gonna do today?" She inquired , getting up and snatching their plates to place them in the sink, then ran warm water and add ed a pungent lemony dish washing soap after plugging it.

"I don't know darling, how about we get dressed and go visit Killian at the station after we talk to the girls? See if he wants to join us in whatever we do tonight ," she suggested, secretly wanting to corner him to see what his conversation with Robin was about. What had him so frazzled to leave such a frantic voice-mail on her phone ? Wiping off the island with sanitized wipes Regina tossed the dirty ones away, making her way over to the slightly taller woman she wrapped her arms around her from behind peppering kisses on column of her neck.

Moaning from the attention she was receiving Emma laid the plates and silverware in the drying rack and unplugged the sink, then swung around in Regina's arms so fast it surprised the latter, her hands making their home on the brunette's hips, "Sounds like a plan to me babe." She replied with her new term of endearment for the woman she was holding.

The shorter woman laced her fingers behind her girlfriend's neck coaxing her down slightly to lie a passionate kiss on her lips. Their lips dancing against each other , Regina's tongue peeked out and she licked the top of Emma's lips persuading , them to open ; when the blonde granted entrance Regina introduced her tongue, exploring the fair woman's mouth, enticing her tongue to do the same. Pulling away, Regina took Emma's lower lip in between her teeth biting down gently then released it with a barely audible pop.

Attempting to catch her breath Emma inhaled deeply a couple of times before speaking, "Wow!" She softly cried. "What was that for?"

"No reason, just because I lo - umm like kissing you." Regina cringed and blushed, trying to cover up the fact that she almost said those three little words that she was dying to say but was afraid to at the same time.

Noticing the dark woman's blunder Emma simply smirked crookedly and brushed it off but kept the minor mistake in the back of her mind, "I really like kissing you too baby." Bending down one more time to continue the pleasurable assault on Regina's lips they hear a very loud banging at the dorm door, frightening them.

A shrill voice echoed through the hallway seemingly penetrating the door, "Regina?!" She heard a screechy voice bellow, "Open this door right now young lady or so help me God!"

Rolling her eyes Regina groaned, "No! It's my mother!" Shouting her discontent toward the ceiling. "Just a second mother!" She answered yelling at the closed door. Unraveling herself from Emma she tried to straighten her robe up as much as you can a robe and swung the door open.

A petite woman with dark hair piled on top of her head in a neat bun crossed the threshold, "What in the world took you so long Regina!" She brazenly stomped into the dorm, neglecting to look around the room before speaking again. "I suppose you've been out with that insufferable Ms. Swan since Maleficent and Cruella have left, haven't you!"

"Uhh-umm." Emma stood there in the kitchen, rolling her eyes at the audacity of the older woman.

Turning in the middle of the living room to face the person that cleared their throat Cora narrowed her eyes at Emma. "Oh. Hello Ms. Swan." Nose stuck in the air, talking to her like she she was a piece of filth off the street.

Deciding to be as polite as she could be to the horrible woman she answered, "Hello C-uhhh Mrs. Mills."

Regina had closed the door and followed her mother to the living room, "So mother. What are you doing here?" She anxiously questioned, hoping to get rid of her mother before she noticed Emma was in a robe very much like hers.

"Well I'm here because I got a frantic call from Robin!" She blustered. "He told me of the..." crinkling up her nose in revulsion waving her hand between the two younger women, "...situation he found you and her in! And I must say I'm not surprised."

This surprised Regina. She thought her mother was so absorbed in her business, which is everything in her life, that she didn't think anything that she did was of any consequence to her mother. Just then she heard a long deep gasp of air coming from her mother's direction. Glancing at Emma seeing her wincing, waiting for the blow-back from the recognition of the present situation she then turned back to her mother. Mouth covered she was in shock, "Wh-wh-what happened?" Shaking her head trying to get the images that were popping into her brain, "No-no,no. I don't want to know what happened, I want to know why it happened right this minute! I mean I thought you were happy with Robin!"

Letting out a groan the younger Mills began getting a headache, "No mother, I was not happy with him!" She carefully retorted. "He's not the person I want!" Glancing at Emma she softly grinned at her, "She is."
