Chapter Twenty Two: Getting Personal
Emma woke up to the faint sound of water running. She opened her eyes slowly before turning around in bed and realizing Regina wasn't in there anymore. The running water was coming from the bathroom. Regina was in the shower. Emma pulled the covers over her head and closed her eyes again. She had no idea what time was it but she knew it was early. Way too early. She tried to go back to sleep but the smell of Regina on the pillow right next to her kept invading her. That and the thought of her very naked girlfriend with water covering her delicious body. Maybe Emma should indeed rose from the bed and join her girlfriend. Unfortunately, the moment the thought popped in her mind she heard the shower been turned off. It didn't take long before Emma heard a click and the bathroom door been open.
- Why are you off the bed? – Emma asked pulling the sheets off her head.
- I have a meeting – Regina said sitting down in the bed – Did I wake you?
- Your absence did – Emma said taking Regina's hand and kissing her knuckles – Can't you just… blow them off?
- I wish I could – Regina running her now free hand on Emma's face.
- How long will you be there?
- Probably the whole day. I'm sorry – Regina said - But I promise tomorrow it will be just you and me.
- I can't wait! – Emma said smiling.
Regina kissed Emma gently on the lips before standing up and going to the closet. Emma adjusted herself in bed and watched Regina. When the towel fell on the floor, Emma sighed loudly. God, how could a woman look so perfect like Regina did? She was so beautiful. Mind and soul. Regina looked back at her and smirked at Emma.
- Are you gonna lay there and watch me? – Regina asked.
- Hum hum!
Regina smiled at Emma and continued with her morning routine. Emma watched every single movement she made. She watched her putting her underwear on and then she getting dresses. She watched her in the bathroom, drying her hair, and then doing her makeup. She watched her walking around the room gathering the things she needed for the meeting. Emma watched everything with a warm feeling spreading all over her body. She was in love with Regina. She had fallen hard for this woman. This was the first time Emma had ever opened herself up for another and she couldn't begin to describe how happy she was that she did it for the woman walking around in front of her. There was no coming back now. She was in love with Regina and the feeling warmed her body like a blanket. This beautiful woman, this kind soul was hers. Regina belonged to her just like Emma belonged to Regina. Emma smiled at the thought and closed her eyes for a few seconds. It didn't take long before she opened them again at the feeling of the mattress sinking right next to her.
- You can have breakfast here or at the restaurant downstairs – Regina said – It's totally up to you!
- Okay! – Emma said – I think I'm going to go out and explore the city. It's my first time here.
- We'll come back again with more free time – Regina said – I promise.
- That would be nice – Emma said grinning.
- I have to go – Regina said as she bent down to kiss Emma – Be careful out there. Call me if anything happens!
- I will.
- Okay. I'll see you later.
- That you will.
Regina left the room leaving a sappy happy Emma in bed. She wanted to go back to sleep, but as she laid her head on Regina's pillow her scent invaded her again. God, she missed her already! Emma shook her head and got out of the bed. There was no time to waste. She had a city to know. This was her first time in New York City after all and so, Emma went to the shower and took a quick one. After she changed, Emma took everything she needed and headed downstairs to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast. Emma researched everything that was to do on her phone while eating. She crossed the museums off the list as that was something she wanted to do it with Regina. After she decided what she wanted to see that day, Emma finished eating her food, and off she went to know the city.
First, Emma went to 5th avenue. She read that it was famous for its expansive stores. And boy, were they right! Emma wondered how can they charge so much for…clothes! After a long nice walk there, where Emma ended up feeling very poor, she decided to go to Times Square. Emma walked around there and she could honestly say that that was a very unique experience. All the vibrant colors around her and the huge outdoors were really amazing. She definitely needed to go back there at night to see the contrast of the lights in the dark sky. It was past one when she started to feel a little hungry and so, she had some street food like a good new yorker before going to see the statue of liberty. She took a few selfies and send it to Regina but she never texted her back. The last stop on Emma's list was to see the top of the rock. And once again Emma ended up feeling very small all the way up there. It was even higher than in Regina's parent's hotel. She also took a bunch of pictures there and once again she sent it to Regina and once again, no reply. It was nightfall by the time Emma made it back to the hotel. She didn't hear from Regina the whole day and she really hoped she would find her in their room when she got all the way up there. But when Emma opened the door, the room was completely dark and silent. Regina wasn't there. Emma walked to the bathroom and took a shower to wash the day and smells off. When that was done, she changed into comfy clothes and sat down on the couch to look at the menu. She was trying to figure out what to order, as everything looked delicious when she heard a beep sound and the door being pushed open.
- Hey, babe! – Emma said when she saw Regina.
- Hi! – Regina said, sitting down on the couch next to Emma.
- Tired? – Emma asked.
- Very!
- Have you eaten yet?
- No, no yet!
- I'm just about to order some food. Want anything in particular?
- Whatever you ask, it's fine by me.
- Are you sure? Because these burgers look amazing.
- Then burger it is – Regina said getting up – I'm going to take a shower.
- Want some company?
- Maybe later. I just want to wash the day off now.
- Okay!
Emma watched Regina disappear inside the bathroom before picking up the phone to call room service. She ordered two burgers combo for them and then turn on the tv. Regina was still in the bathroom when the food arrived. Emma was pushing the cart inside the room when Regina left the bathroom.
- Food is here – Emma said
- Oh, Thank God! I'm starving.
- Where you wanna eat?
- Couch!
Emma pushed the cart inside the room and parked in front of the couch. The food smelled absolutely amazing and Emma couldn't wait to dig in. Regina sat down on the couch wrapped on the robe and took the sandwich first. She moaned when she took the first bite and the sight of it made Emma's legs trembled. Emma also took her food and they ate together talking about their day. Regina apologized for not responding to Emma's text but she did tell her she looked absolutely beautiful in them. Emma smiled and told Regina all about her adventures in the city. She was really excited about telling Regina about the places she had been too, the enjoyment was very present on Emma's voice and that made Regina grin at everything Emma said. When they finished eating, Emma pushed the cart out of the room. When she came back inside, Regina had already moved to the bed, completely focused on reading something on a paper.
- I thought you were done with work! – Emma said as she laid in bed next to Regina.
- I'm sorry! I just need to finish reading these.
- Regina! It's past nine. You've been working all day! On a Saturday!
- I know.
- Can you put them down, please?
- I'll be done in a minute, okay?
- No, you won't – Emma said moving to sit on Regina's lap and taking the paper off her hands – You are done for the day, Mills. I mean it.
- Emma! – Regina protested – I need to finish it.
- Not gonna happen. You are done for the day!
- Okay, okay, you are right! No more working.
- Good – Emma said and played with Regina's bathrobe rope, slowly opening it – Are you too tired right now?
- Not for this, I'm not.
Emma leaned in and captured Regina's lips on a kiss. Emma's tongue danced inside Regina's mouth, savoring everything that was Regina. She felt Regina's hands going up and down her back and then pulling her closer. Emma opened the rest of the bathrobe, exposing a very naked Regina to her. Emma felt Regina shivered as her hands wandered to her breast, squeezing it and playing with her nipples. She kept on kissing Regina until the need for air was too much for them to continue.
- It seems like I'm always naked before you are. – Regina said as she pushed Emma's top above her head.
- That's exactly how I like you.
Regina squeezed Emma's breast with both hands, making Emma moaned at the contact. Regina took the opportunity to wrap her arms on Emma's waist and change positions. With Regina on top, she bent down and claimed Emma's lips on a kiss, her tongue exploring the inside of Emma's mouth, dominating her. Regina broke the kiss and rose, pushing the rest of the robe off her body. Emma looked at her completely aroused, feeling the wetness run down her legs. Regina licked her lips and opened Emma's jeans. Emma moved her hips up to help Regina pull the fabric off her body. When that was done, Regina hooked her fingers on the waistband of Emma's panties and throw them carelessly on the floor. Regina looked between Emma's legs and making Emma's cheek pink. She was embarrassed about how wet she was. She could feel herself dripping. Regina looked down at Emma and moistened her lips, her eyes black with desire. She lifted Emma's leg up to and kissed her shin all the way up to her thigs, licking inside of them.
- God, I love your smell – Regina said, brushing her nose on Emma's clit.
- Y-you do?
- Yes. Your arousal is intoxicating!
- Fuck!
Was all Emma managed to say before Regina gave her pussy a strong lick from opening to clit. Emma spread her legs wider, giving Regina more room to work. And dear God, how Regina knew how to use that talented tongue of hers. She entered Emma with her tongue curling the tip inside her while her thumb stroked her clit. Emma wiggled in bed, opening her legs even more feeling her toes curl. Regina brought her tongue to Emma's clit and used the tip to flick Emma's clit while two fingers entered her. Emma's back arched from the bed, her breathing was getting heavier and heavier, she could fell her low abdomen clench with Regina moving inside of her. Emma's own hand went to her breast, teasing her nipples while Regina's talented fingers curled inside her, moving slightly faster, bringing Emma to absolute ecstasy. Emma could feel she was close. Her breathing was erratic and she could feel herself holding it for longer, and when Regina sucked Emma's clit inside her mouth, her body went stiff and she came inside her mouth, screaming Regina's name.
Emma was in heaven. She closed her eyes and let the aftershocks of her orgasm wash over her. Every single part of her body was relaxed now. She was in absolute bliss. So much that she whimpered when Regina slowly removed her fingers from inside her. Regina laid down next to her and kissed her shoulder before wrapping one arm around her waist. It took Emma more than a few minutes to recover the ability to talk again.
- Oh, God! – Emma said taking a sharp breath in.
- Its Regina, but God will do!
- Ha! – Emma laughed – Well, to be fair, you are my Goddess!
- Oh! Not going to argue with that – Regina said cheekily
- You shouldn't – Emma said turning to Regina – That was amazing.
- Yes, it was.
- My turn!
Emma moved on top of Regina and claimed her lips on a kiss. The kiss was slow and gentle until Emma's tongue invaded Regina's mouth, deepened the kiss, making her moan inside the kiss. When they broke apart, Emma kissed Regina's chin before sucking the delicate flesh of her neck making Regina wiggled under her, her nails scratching Emma's back. Emma moved her lips lower and captured Regina's perky nipple inside her mouth while using her hand to massage the other.
- Oh, God, Emma! – Regina moaned.
The sound of Regina's moan only served to make Emma suck the breast harder in her mouth. She circulated her tongue around the aureola before biting the tip and suck again. When Emma was done, she licked Regina all the way to the other breast and gave it the same attention. Regina wiggled even more under Emma, especially when her mouth ventured lower. Emma moved her lips to her ribs and then belly, giving her open mouth kiss all the way down. Regina's hands flew to Emma's head, pushing it down. Emma sucked the side of Regina's belly before licking her way to her belly button, pushing her tongue inside. Regina's head tugged on Emma's hair and soon, Emma kissed and licked her navel.
- Stop teasing! – Regina moaned.
- I'm not teasing. I'm just taking my time.
- It's not fair – Regina moaned – You already came.
- Can we try something? – Emma asked looking up at Regina.
- Try what?
- I'll show you.
Emma positioned herself better in bed. She kneeled and then lifted Regina's leg up to her shoulder and then, slid herself closer to Regina's heat. She opened Regina's pussy with her finger and fitted her pussy with hers.
- Is that okay?
- Yes! – Regina said mouth slightly open and eyes dark.
Emma moved on top of Regina up and down, rubbering their pussys together. She used her finger to stroke Regina's clit while moving on top of her. Regina moaned and wiggled under Emma, moving with her, her hands turning into a fist on the sheets. Just the sight of seen Regina like that made Emma horny all over again as she moved on top of Regina, up and down, up and down again. Emma knew she was going to come a second time before Regina did if she got too lost on the sensation of their pussys rubbering against one another.
- Fuck! Move faster! I'm gonna come! – Regina moaned.
And that was exactly what Emma did. She moved faster on top of Regina, increasing her rubbering on her clit. Regina moaned and cursed under her, her breathing getting faster and faster, moving with Emma making their pussys make delicious wet sounds and it didn't take long before Regina's body went stiff and she came with a loud moan. Emma kept on rubbering herself on her and soon she came again. She flopped on top of Regina and then rolled to the side. They were both breathless in bed, their bodies sweaty and completely spent. Emma was the one who moved first. She turned to Regina who still had her eyes closed and moved a lock of wet hair off her face.
- Hey, you okay in there? – Emma asked.
- Yes! – Regina said taking a long breath and turning to face Emma – I'm more than okay.
Emma eyed the necklace Regina always wore and held it between her fingers. It was a golden chain with two rings in it. Regina had never taken them off. For as long as Emma has known Regina, she always had that necklace with her. When Emma looked up to Regina's face she was her watching her intensely.
- Was this hers? – Emma asked.
- Yes! It's our engagement ring – Regina said – Does it bother you?
- No! No, of course not. – Emma said shaking her head – Will you tell me about her?
- Are you sure?
- Yes!
- What you wanna know?
- Anything you want to tell me!
- Well… - Regina said taking a deep breath – We met when were sixteen. She was transferred to the school that I went to and we instantly became friends. One day, we were both in my bedroom, doing History homework in bed and she kissed me.
- Really? She just kissed you?
- Yes! – Regina said smiling at the memory - I was terrified. I didn't talk to Dani for a week. And then one day after school she confronted me. She told me that if I didn't feel the same for her we could still be friends, that I didn't have to ignore her.
- And what did you say?
- I kissed her.
- You did? – Emma asked smiling.
- I did. – Regina laughed - It was the boldest thing I have ever done in my life. After that, she asked me to be her girlfriend and I said yes.
- Is that when you came out?
- Yes! My father and my sister were very loving. Very acceptive. My mother, however, didn't like it. She still doesn't, actually. She sent me to therapy and did everything in her power to keep us apart.
- And what did you do?
- I used to snick out of the house to see her. It wasn't always easy but we managed. When we finished school, we both got into College. I got into Harvard and she got into Boston University.
- Oh!
- We were close, so, we always managed to see each other. I started to work as an intern for my parent's business and Dani got a job in a stable. She was in veterinary school. We got an apartment together during our University years. After I graduate she gave me this ring – Regina said reaching for the ring – And asked me to marry her.
- When did you two got married?
- We never really did!
- Oh?
- We were engaged but our jobs…My job got me busier and busier. She wanted to be a mother and we started to try IVF, but she kept having miscarriages. She asked me to tried and it worked. We got pregnant with Henry. I slow down on work, and we decided to get marry after Henry was born, so he could be part of it. But no one never really tells how much trouble a baby is – Regina laughed – So, we kept postponing.
- Then what happened?
- We kept living our lives. We decided to get married when Henry was three and could give us the wedding rings. But then, one day, we were home and Dani fell ill. We were in the backyard playing with Henry and she said she was feeling a burning sensation on her chest and arm. I went inside to take the car keys and when I came back she was on the floor. I called an ambulance but, she was gone. She had a fulminant heart attack.
- How old was Henry? – Emma asked catching a tear on Regina's cheek
- One and eight months. He doesn't remember her.
- I'm so sorry, Regina.
- Thank you. It was a long time ago. I will always love Dani. But, I've moved on.
- I know. I'm sorry, I've made you cry.
- Don't be. It was good to tell you about her.
Emma gently kissed Regina's lips and held her closer to her. God, how could she ever avoid falling in love with this woman? Regina was the strongest, kindest soul Emma has ever know. She loved her so much that her heartache. When she pulled away from her, Regina's eyes were misty. Emma kissed each one of them and then used her hand to clear Regina's face from the tears. She smiled at Emma and gently moved closer to her, wrapping her body around Emma's. She laid her head on Emma's shoulder and gently stroked her hair. They stayed there quite just enjoying each other's company. It didn't take very long before Emma heard Regina's heavy breathing. Emma smiled and starched her legs in bed, using her foot to pull the sheets. When they were in hands reach, Emma pulled it over their naked bodies and closed her eyes. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep with the woman she was in love with safely tucked inside her arms.
