Summary: After all they'd been through, a few hours rest, alone with her husband, is just what Emma needs. Regina and Marian would tend to agree...

Author Note: This is the first smutty chapter in the story, so those of you who don't like it, I suggest you wait for the next one! There won't be many of them, I promise!


Mifflin Street

To say Regina was nervous, was an understatement! She'd just freshened up, changed into a short white cotton nightie, and slipped under the silk sheets to wait for her. It was only fourin the afternoon! What the hell were they thinking?

"Ooh, I love your bathroom, Gina!" Marian stepped out, a white towel surrounding her torso, hair wrapped up in a bun. "The lotions. And that shower? Certainly blasts sea salt out of the hair!" she turned to sit at the dressing table, picking up the hairdryer and working a brush through her still-long luxuriant dark brown locks. "That lavender oil's left a lovely smell. You do like to pamper yourself, don't you?"

"Perks of being Queen of the United Realms, my dear. I think a little indulgence is justified, don't you? But the oil's something Henry brought back from Boston. He often brings gifts back for Emma and I."

"The more I hear, the more I'm getting to like him. Another two weeks, you say?"

"He'll be here a week over Christmas and New Year. I can't tell you how much I've missed him! We speak every Sunday night on an internet call. Sorry, I should explain, 'internet', that's-"

"I know what internet is, Gina! Merlin's lessons, remember?" she said pointing to her forehead. "The more I get to know about it, I realize this really is quite a wonderful realm! So much easier. But you know what I love most about your bathroom? That bidet! So much nicer than a cold river!"

"The time you took in there, I thought you'd gone down the plughole!" she grinned.

"Perfection takes time, Miss Mills!" she retorted, finally putting the hairdryer down. As she turned and stood, shaking her head, Regina could only think how stunning Marian truly was. Her hair shone in the afternoon sunlight streaming through the window, and there was even a hint of auburn in her locks. Set against her brown eyes and olive skin, she was a sight to behold!

"So, what do you think?"

"I…I think you're just lovely."

"Good answer!" Without further ado, Marian opened the cord of her gown, shrugging the robe from her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor, leaving her standing stark naked. Regina gulped. She knew she had a beautiful body, having seen her in the bath, but they'd both been rather drunk on whisky that night. Now, with a clear head, she was just stunning! And her confidence in being naked before another woman was so much greater than Regina's.

Marian moved to the bed, sliding the sheets back to reveal Regina in her nightie. "Hmm, you look gorgeous…but a little overdressed perhaps?" she winked.

"I was keeping warm till you got in!" she defended, though seeing the naked body now alongside her, left her flustered as Marian glared. "Well we'll soon fix that!" she snorted as Regina lifted her arms for the taller woman to remove the garment, revealing her in all her beauty.

"Oh, that's so much better!" she gasped, seeing the now exposed top half. "Regina, you are a vision!" She pulled the queen to her, both gasping as the entire length of their bodies now came together. "You okay?"

Regina looked down at the sight of her breasts, now moulded into Marian's. "I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing that!" she muttered, before Marian's lips found hers in a soft, exploratory kiss. "I can't believe we're actually doing this. I'm not even sure what to do!"

Marian chuckled. "That makes two of us. I think we just see where we go. If either of us doesn't like something, we just say stop?"

Regina nodded, seizing her lips again before sliding her right knee between the exposed thighs as they snuggled into each other. It felt so soft, so warm, so…natural. After another heated kiss, Marian eased back to look at her, eyes dropping to the two dark nipples and areolae. "May I?" she asked but didn't wait for a reply, before lowering her head to take the nearest between her lips, sucking gently and earning a hiss, which only spurred her on to suck the turgid peak a little harder. "Ooooh," groaned the queen, as she flicked the nub with her tongue.

"Like that?"

"Very much. Don't stop…"

That was all she needed to hear, as her mouth attacked the dark peak again, sucking harder and opening wider to accommodate more in her mouth, before dragging her teeth gently across the nipple. "Oh god! I think you've done this before…" she moaned.

"Nope. You're my first…" she whispered, lowering her head further to seize the other nipple in her teeth, the first now being massaged by her fingers, squeezing and pulling gently. "Though now I have, you can expect a lot more of this…"

Feeling braver, Regina now pushed her back. "I want a go!" her right hand folded over the top of Marian's left breast, as she moved close to examine the pink peak, lighter than her own, but equally turgid. She'd never been so close to another woman's breast. Flicking over the tip with her tongue, she dropped her entire mouth over it, forcing in as much as she could, before drawing her teeth as she pulled back, nipping the bud, earning an appreciative sigh from her lover. Confidence growing, she sucked again, harder this time, though as she withdrew, she felt a warm hand moving low on her abdomen, closer to her centre and making her breath hitch.

"May I?" whispered Marian once again. Regina nodded, her mouth full, though pulling back to gasp as long fingers now moved gently over her folds. "Aaah!" she croaked, raising her right leg to the side, as a long finger slid over her entrance, almost entering before stopping, pulling back to join the other fingers to massage the whole area around it. "Mmmmm…don't…don't stop doing that!"

"I wasn't going to..." as the words left her, she felt Regina's right hand now sliding down to her own core, to copy what she was doing. The queen's breathing now increasing dramatically as she realized she was about to actually enter the other woman.

"You've trimmed yourself?"

"I liked yours! I wanted the same. Much tidier..." she breathed, easing her own left leg to the side, her raised knee almost touching Regina's, allowing the other woman to gain access. "Don't stop - I want this…" As their fingers now roamed over each other, Marian pulled her closer, gently inserting her middle finger into Regina, who inserted her own, moments later. As their other arms held each other tighter, lust-filled, excited eyes met, as they had now silently moved to a new level in their relationship. Fingers started sliding in and out, Regina gradually inserting a second, as did Marian, thrusting a little harder and faster. Neither looked down, just silently staring into each other's eyes to see what reaction they were causing. Marian's lip started quivering, and Regina could tell she was close, as she felt her own stomach start fluttering, a long-missed sensation starting to build and run through her. After a few more thrusts, Marian's groin surged forward against her, as Regina's thumb now pressed down on her clit. Regina started shaking too, as the other woman matched every action with her own, stroke for stroke, until finally, the dam broke.

"AAAAH! GINAAA!" she yelled, as Regina kept up the thrusts, her own orgasm now taking hold.

"FUUUUCK! OOOH GOD! MARIAN!" she bellowed back into her face.

After, they both removed her fingers, separating to lay on their backs, panting loudly. "That was…" gasped the queen, not sure how best to describe it.

"Fucking wonderful!" said her lover. Heads slowly turned to face each other, both nervously waiting for the other to say more. As Regina felt her heart flutter, Marian brought her fingers to her own lips. The fingers that had just been inside her lover. Smeared in her essence, she slowly drew them across her lips and into her mouth, closing her eyes and savouring her. Seeing her open them again with a smirk as she continued enjoying the distinctive taste, Regina brought her own fingers up, copying her. The taste wasn't anything like she'd imagined! Whereas she was expecting something unpleasant, it wasn't. It seemed somewhat…metallic, somehow. Like the aftertaste of a deep red wine. Either way, she was now sucking Marian's essence from her own fingers!

"Gina, that was incredible." she breathed. "I'd never imagined…"

"Me neither! It was different to anything I've ever done before." They lay side by side for a while, before Marian again turned to face her, moving closer.

"I love you, Regina Mills."

"And I love you, Marian Locksley," she replied without hesitation.

The pair held hands under the sheets, neither moving as they stared up at the ceiling. Neither really, truly, believed what had just happened! Once again, Marian was the first to break the silence: "How do you think Henry will react, when he finds out about me? About us?"

She sighed. She'd been wondering about that herself! "I really don't know. I don't want to keep anything from him, and he should be the first to know. I can't imagine he'd mind, but I am nervous about telling him…"

"Because we're both women?"

"Partly. I'm not sure. He's got gay friends, and he was the one who broke the news to us about Ruby breaking Dorothy's sleeping curse with a kiss. He seemed pleased then, but…it might be different when it comes to his own mother!"

"When do you think you should tell him?"

"As soon as I can. I might as well bite the bullet and do it on tomorrow's call. He does speak to friends here regularly. He's got two old friends he's still friendly with here, and I'd hate for one of them to tell him his own mother's in a lesbian relationship before I even have a chance to explain!"

"Do you want me there when you tell him?"

"Best not. Let me handle it first. It's not every day you come out to your own son!"

"I understand. Any regrets?"

"None whatsoever. Though I admit I'm still shaking a little. It was so…intense!"

"And that's just the first time!" she smirked devilishly. "Fancy another round?"

"Well…if you must. Anything in mind?"

"You lying back and closing your eyes."

Regina did as asked, trying to relax and feeling a soft pair of lips on her own, then a tongue swirling gently against her lips own before retreating, following by kisses to her chin and neck. It started going lower, to a nipple once more, before moving down to her belly. As Marian slid a tongue around and inside her navel, Regina realized where she was heading. Shit! Trying to keep here eyes closed, she felt the mattress dip as Marian headed lower, kissing down her abdomen, heading slowly towards her target. Her breath hitched when she felt warm hands above her knees, gently parting her thighs to expose her fully.

Below, Marian gasped quietly as she studied the now presented lower lips of the queen. She vaguely remembered how Robin used to venerate her this way, and she could see the hidden sight that he must have seen. Whereas she knew most men found the idea of what she was about to do distasteful, Robin had always seemed to revel in it, seeing it as an essential part of giving himself to her fully. As with her, perhaps he was the last man to have seen this glorious sight! The full, now swollen labia, just below the small landing strip of pubic hair, still glistening from Marian's attention earlier.

Steeling herself for the unexpected, she slid her nose along the entrance, bringing an instant gasp from the woman above, before sliding a very flat tongue across the entire surface. The sweet, yet slightly musky taste, Regina's taste, assailing her taste buds fully for the very first time.

The encouraging noises from above made her continue, as she made several broad licks across the slit, before curling her tongue, to slide it in as far as she could. The moment her tongue reamed the inside, she felt warm thighs tighten over her ears, muffling Regina's groans.

Unable to keep her eyes closed at the new sensation, Regina opened them to the incredible sight of Marian's face, her mouth, pressed fully against her pussy as she felt the soft swirling just inside, her own eyes open and her face a picture of concentration. She's inside! Marian's tongue is inside me! Shuddering at the carnal sight, she saw her firmly ease her thighs wider, to lift her mouth higher. That's when she felt the lips on her clit! Marian sucked firmly on her, making her involuntary thrust up against the mouth. She felt her release her sensitive nub, and the sensation of the tongue swirling around it several times, before hot lips again seized the pearl, sucking even harder!

"Haaaaah! Mari...gently, please my love? It's tender!" she couldn't stop herself raising her hips against the offender. "Easy!"

Feeling her lover's strong thrusts only brought even stronger feelings to her own core. Marian knew she'd need her own release after this. Remembering how a certain outlaw used to do it, she lifted her lips away, gently inserting her middle finger, followed by a second, before turning them around inside and dropping her lips onto the clit again and again as she thrust her fingers in and out while sucking, feeling her lover now start to shake violently.

"Yes! Yes! Oh fuck….yeeeees!" Regina's pelvis thrust against her, but she kept her lips and tongue in place, as the orgasm powered through her.

"God, that was incredible! Come here?" Marian's naked body rose again, covering and smothering her own in a matter of moments, soft lips attaching themselves once more to hers.

"Your taste is wonderful!" she whispered, sliding her tongue into her mouth to share the experience. "I've never done that before, and I'm never going to stop doing it ever again!" she rolled off to her side to let her breath.

"I bet I know who taught you how to do that!" shuddered Regina, her breath slowly recovering. "Because he once did that to me!" she pulled her in. "And once I finally get my breath, it's your turn on your back, my lady!"


The Swan-Jones House

Regina wasn't the only one who'd had an unexpectedly romantic afternoon.

After apologies had been shared, and tears had been exhausted, Killian now sat back on the sofa, Emma over his lap as they watched Hope play on the floor among her toys. A simple family moment this young family had never shared before, due mainly to Emma's depression.

That's when the doorbell rang.

"I'll go – I think it's mum!"

A cautious Snow and Charming were let in, David giving his daughter a brief hug, before pulling back, holding her shoulders to look at her. "Everything okay?" In truth, David had been worried sick, ever since Emma had this morning said her husband may well 'dump' her, or announce he was leaving! So he wanted to be sure his unusually fragile daughter was holding it together.

"More than okay, thanks!" she whispered. "We talked. We're good!" she led them into the living room, finding Killian now sitting on the floor in front of Hope, making silly noises at her as he changed her wet diaper. The baby giggled, rolling over to get away, before being pulled back by her father. He picked her up, turning her to press teeth into her side in a pretend bite. "Grr! Big-bum-baby for my tea! I'm going to eat you! Grrr!" Hope giggled furiously, loving it, both unaware they had an audience.

Emma melted at the silly sight, loving how easily her husband, her true love, had completely bonded with their baby from the moment she was born. Killian was the one who took on nearly all the night feeds after that brief week she'd been breast-fed. The soothing of her tears, the walks in the park and the docks, the playtimes. And all while Emma was in the grip of a depression. He'd been a loving husband in their three years of marriage, despite having had to put up with her mood swings in the last year. But he'd been an amazing father, just as she had no doubt David would have been with her, had he been given the chance. Underneath it all, she was a Daddy's Girl, and she had no doubt Hope would be too!

"Hi Hopey!" called Snow to her granddaughter, walking over to them, dropping to her knees. "Hi Killian, nice trip?"

"Hello Snow. David." he acknowledged the standing man by his wife. "What brings you here?"

"We thought we'd drop by and see if you wanted us to take this little lady out for the afternoon?" said Snow, looking at him for approval. "Seeing as you've been busy overnight on your boat…"

"It's a ship, milady!" How often did he have to correct her?

"Yes, of course, sorry. Well anyway, I thought that perhaps you two could do with a break? Neil's over at Pip Briar's house all day, so we had our hands free. We just thought…"

"That's a lovely idea, mum! What do you think, Killian?"

Looking up to see her standing there, in that very, very short dress! with a familiar twinkle in her eye, put the matter beyond doubt. "Good idea. I'm sure she would love some time with you both…"

"I'll pack a bag up with her food and stuff. Gimmee a minute." Emma left to go into the kitchen, pulling together her food and a few nibbles from the fridge, before quickly returning and putting them into the baby backpack along with her travel clothes, diapers and wipes. "Here you go!"

"Oh, well…we don't have to go straight away!" said David. "You could join us for coffee?"

Snow looked at her daughter's ruddy cheeks, and the way she was dressed. A short red party dress in December? Coffee was clearly the last thing on her mind! "No David…let them rest. Let's get off with Hope now and we can bring her back later…"

Emma mouthed a silent 'thank you' to her mother, before bundling Hope and everything together to lead them out. As David stepped out to the truck, with Hope in his arms, she leaned down to whisper to her mother. "Thanks mum! No need to rush back. Could you text me before you leave?"

Snow knew full well what she meant. "I'll do that. Have a nice restful afternoon. And Emma…protection?" she whispered the last word.

"Mum!" she blushed, furiously. "I'm in my forties, and I'm on the bloody pill! Now go!"

"Just making sure…" her mother giggled. "It's my job to embarrass you!"

As he heard the front door slam shut, Killian sat back up on the sofa. "You seemed to be pushing them out the door fairly quick, Swan?" though as he looked up to the flushed cheeks of his true love, the reason was obvious.

Stepping closer, with an old familiar, hungry look in her eyes, she mounted him, sitting on his lap to face him. "That's because I've got plans! Haven't you asked yourself, pirate, why a wife wears a skimpy outfit like this, at home, in the middle of winter?" before he could even answer, she pushed forward to grind herself against him, dropping her lips onto his in a long-missed kiss.

"Well I was wondering if you had an ulterior motive!" he kissed her back, "...that Nostos water really has rather an astonishing effect, doesn't it?"

"Which reminds me. I want to see what a pirate can do with two hands, when he was already pretty good with one? Prepare to be boarded, Captain!" she ground her groin in harder, taking his head in her hands and biting his earlobe.

"Oof! Are you sure you haven't a little bit of pirate inside you, Swan?"

"Quite sure – but you're going to change that. Right now!"


The next hour had been frenetic. Emma had taken control initially, pushing him back onto the bed and almost ripping his jeans off him. And Killian could only delight in something he'd missed for so long! His Saviour, lust-filled and completely wanton. She'd dragged his boots off, flinging them against the wall as she stripped him as quickly as she could, ripping several buttons from his thick cotton shirt as she tore it from his chest, falling onto him to bite one of his nipples, licking his chest as she moved to the other. She was the hunter and he was her prey! And oh, how he loved it! Sitting up, her hands slipped roughly into his boxers, pulling out the now very hard, straining cock in her right hand. Steading herself with her left arm, she lowered her mouth onto him, sucking hard on the brim, before taking him in further, sucking even harder on his shaft as she started to pump him.

He was in paradise, but he knew if she continued the pace, he'd never last. "Jeez, Swan! Not so fast! You'll have me peaking way too early!" But she continued, pumping him furiously a few seconds more before pulling him from her mouth, but not before dragging her teeth under his dome. "Woah Emma! Woah! Mouth, not teeth! I want to enjoy this too…"

She rolled onto her back, quickly lifting her legs to slip the matching red panties down, before he could even offer to return the compliment. "Inside…now!" she commanded, quickly moving to squat over his waist, before lining up and lowering herself on to him in one smooth action. "Fuuuck!" she groaned as she took him in as deep as she could, for the first time in months.

"Now, I've got a bit of pirate inside me! And he isn't little!"

To say Killian was turned on by this refreshed, hungry, wanton wife was the understatement of the year! Having her so desperate for him was one thing. But seeing the way she urgently squatted down felt like it added another inch to his girth! And now, she was thrusting herself up and down on his shaft as the warm glove of her seemed to suck him in as hungrily as her mouth. Thankfully, it looked like her urgency was also going to result in her coming quickly. Thank god! There's no way I can keep this up! Almost as soon as she started, she came!

"AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH NNNGGGGGFUUUUUUCK YEEEES!" she screamed, loudly as the orgasm flew through her. "Ooooooh, soooo fucking gooood!"

Somehow, he managed to avoid coming himself, grateful for the pause when she stopped, sitting upright, with him still inside her. So he took advantage! As her breath stabilized, she felt strong arms rise up to seize her, flipping her to her side and rolling her onto her back, with him still inside. Looking up, she saw the slightly deranged look of a sex-starved pirate.

"My turn I think, love?" He didn't wait for her answer before she felt him pull out and drive hard back in. Very hard! He lowered his body onto her, lashing his lips onto her own, driving his tongue into her mouth as she felt her legs pushed wider apart, settling his entire torso onto her. He ploughed in, making her feel even fuller than before, the angle seeming to have given him more depth. As he pushed in and out even harder, the feelings in her core returned. This is wonderful! Why the fuck did I go without this for so long? Why the hell did I refuse him? Shivering as he withdrew, on the next stroke she wrapped her legs around the back of his, reaching out to grasp his arse cheeks hard, pulling him in even tighter as her second orgasm hit. She screamed into his ear as his own climax came loudly, exploding inside her. "GOD…EMMMAAAAAAAA!"

As they stilled, he rolled off her, recovering his breath. "That was incredible, Swan!"

"Plenty more where that came from. Just…give me a few minutes."


And there was plenty more where that came from. Much more. They stayed in bed the next two hours. Kissing, cuddling, fucking. Affirming their love again and again until finally, they settled, lying side by side, staring up at the ceiling.

"Killian…did you take some of that Nostos water too? I'm not complaining, because that was incredible! It's just you seemed so…invigorated!"

"I filled about six of those small vials. It's a big bottle on the Jolly so there's still plenty left. Merlin fixed my hand with a few drops from one and I swallowed the rest of the vial. I've got one left, plus the big one of course…"

"One left? So you, me and Regina had three of them. Where'd the other two go?"

"Merlin's got one. He said it may come in useful in the Enchanted Forest, just in case…"

"And the fifth?"

"Lady Marian. When she realized the queen had taken one, I thought it prudent…"

"Meaning?"

"I was already aware there's a certain permanent aphrodisiac quality to the waters. I figure if she intended to seduce Regina, she should at least be able to match her in stamina."

Emma cackled with laughter. "They'll be fucking each other's brains out! Just like us!"

"A happy side-effect. Though the main reason I gave her a vial, was because she has a history of cancer in her family. Womb cancer to be precise. I gather it's what killed her mother and grandmother. The waters should remove the condition, and any others lurking, whilst, as you say, improve any recreational activities."

"Regina's possibly not infertile any more, thanks to you. Shame it's come too late. She said she always wanted more children. Still…"

"Never say never, Swan. She and Marian may be a passing phase. Mind you, I always suspected she had more than a taste for the fairer sex. I remember the way she was with you. And the dragon…"

"Possibly. But Daniel and Robin were her big loves. Hard to compete with the memory of a guy murdered trying to save your life!"

"Even more poignant, seeing as she's now getting closer to his widow. I've got to know Marian the last few days. She's an extraordinary woman. Highly intelligent, her royal heritage goes back a lot further than the queen's. And she's very beautiful."

"Sounds like you've got a bit of a crush on her yourself there, pirate?" she snuggled in further, resting her head on his bare chest.

"No. Though I do like her a lot. But she's also Robin's widow. He was a fine friend to me."

"I wonder how he'd take it, knowing they're getting closer?"

"I guess we'll never know, though I don't think he'd mind. Probably encourage it, actually, knowing they could take care of each other when he couldn't."

"They both seem to still grieve him. That's how they met, at his grave…"

"Merlin seems to think he's not actually dead, but somehow stuck between realms. Trapped. Only that could account for all the bird feathers."

"Not dead? Hades wiped him completely with that crystal. He said he 'ended' him!"

"Aye, but Merlin said Hades is the ultimate liar. He's exploring ways to free Robin's soul from whatever prison he's in, so he can move on to the afterlife. He and the bookworm are running experiments on the feathers. Another reason why he needed the Nostos water…"

"For what? To bring him back to life? He's been dead three years!"

"That's the problem. Has he? No, I think he merely wants to release his soul."
