Chapter 6

The following morning they followed their separate routines. Emma got up and showered but sent a "good morning beautiful" text to Regina

Regina saw the text while she was preparing breakfast for her and Henry. She didn't reply right away as she was busy. She doesn't burn food ever!
Once breakfast was cooked and served she replied back with a simple "Good morning Miss Swan"

Emma sent back a wink emoji. Just a wink emoji. What was that supposed to be? or mean? Regina shook her head and put her phone down and ate.
Then got Henry off to school.

Once she arrived at work there was a bouquet of flowers on her desk. She smelled them and they smelled heavenly. She opened the note. "No special occasion, just because. Emma"

She texted Emma to thank her for the flowers.

She got back an "Anytime for my beautiful babe" from Emma. She was beaming that whole morning.

When lunch came they didn't coordinate eating together but they managed to arrive within minutes of each other. Emma was already sitting at a booth talking to Ruby when she saw Regina walk in she was completely breathless. She winked at Regina and Ruby was confused.

"Did you just wink at the Mayor? Do you want to be killed?" Ruby asked

"Relax she's my girlfriend" Emma said

"In your dreams" Ruby said.

"Then I'm dreaming right now" Emma said.

Regina didn't know what to do. Yes, their son knew and Emma's parents but the town was a different story. Emma said she didn't want to be a secret.

Emma could sense her apprehension so she got up form the booth and grabbed Regina's hand and led her back to the booth. What she really wanted to do was to kiss her in front of everybody but that would just have to wait for later or even another day.

"I'll have the double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and fries and she'll have the chicken Caesar salad" Emma said grabbing Regina's hands from across the table. "Oh and two waters please Rubes"

"Uh yeah you got it" Ruby said walking away to the kitchen completely flabbergasted

Regina was nervous. Emma smiled at her.

"Hey it's just Granny's " Emma said lightly squeezing Regina's hands

"I'm sorry I'm reacting this way" Regina said

"It's okay beautiful" Emma said with a smile

There was just something about Emma that put her at ease. Regina took a few deep breaths. There was chatter throughout the diner and glances.

"Don't mind them just look at me" Emma said looking into the brown eyes she loved oh so very much.

Regina looked into those green eyes and just got lost in them. Before they knew it their food had arrived.

While Emma was eating an onion ring

Regina said "I do hope you improve your eating habits"

"What's wrong with the way that I eat?" Emma said

"You're asking for an early grave dear" Regina said taking a bite of her salad.

"Awww so you want me to live a long time then?" Emma asked ever so sweetly

"That would be ideal" Regina said.

"Well I don't know how much I'll change but I can say I can try for you and only you" Emma said

The week seemed to fly on by it was Friday night and Regina prepared a nice romantic dinner; Henry was staying with Ruby. They were indeed the talk of the town and there wasn't anywhere they could go without being bothered.

Emma rang the door bell she fumbled with her tie as she waited.

"Emma come in dear" Regina said opening the door letting Emma in and closing it as soon as Emma was inside. Next thing she knew she was up against the door being kissed with much passion.

"Emma..." she said breathlessly and fixing her dress

"Sorry I just had to get that out of my system. What did you cook it smells like heaven?"

Regina almost said to hell with dinner but she worked hard on it. "Nothing too special I hope you'll like it" she interlaced her fingers with Emma's and led her to the table.

Emma looked at the spread at the table and her mouth watered even more. "You definitely know the way to my heart babe. If it tastes as good as it smells which I'm sure it will. I have died and gone to heaven" she grinned

Regina laughed and took a seat.

"I could hear that laugh for the rest of my life" Emma said sitting down at her chair. She got a bit nervous with the implication of that statement.

"I really like how you set the candles" Emma quickly added

She then took a bite to eat and moaned in happiness.

"You really outdid yourself Gina" Emma said with a grin.

"Thank you there's dessert too" Regina said.

"No way!" Emma said excited

"Way." Regina said with a chuckle and began to eat.

Emma wiped her mouth with her napkin after taking a drink of wine. "I don't think I've told you how gorgeous you look tonight. It's a bit difficult to breathe"

"Oh stop it. Maybe your tie is on too tight" Regina said sipping her wine.

Emma checked her tie. "Nope is definitely You. Mouth to mouth resuscitation just might be needed " she said with a smirk then went back to eating.

"I'm sure that could be arranged Em-ma" Regina grinned then resumed eating her food.

They both kept stealing glances as they ate.

When Emma was finished she waited for Regina to be done before asking "will you dance with me?"

" I'm afraid I'm not a good dancer" Regina said after wiping with her napkin.

"I'm not asking for you to waltz. Just dance with me " Emma said getting up from her chair.

"There's no music" Regina said.

"I can change that. " Emma said pulling out her phone out of her pocket then playing a slow song playlist and setting the phone on the table

Regina was hesitant but got up from her chair and met Emma halfway around the table where Emma was holding out her arms. They started just making small movements, nothing too big or fancy.

"See you're doing just fine" Emma said

"We aren't doing much" Regina said

"Not much needs to be done beautiful" Emma said moving a strand of hair behind Regina's ear then caressing her cheek. Regina leaned into the touch. When Emma removed her hand she placed her head on Emma's shoulder. They danced for two more songs till Emma picked her up.

"Emma!" Regina nearly squealed

"I'm taking you to bed now unless you have any objections" Emma said as she headed towards the staircase with Regina in her arms.

"I have none" Regina said

Emma then went up the stairs quickly going into Regina's room she set her down on the foot of the bed. Regina stood up and undid her dress and stepped out of it.

"Fuck you're so damn sexy" Emma said looking Regina up and down a few times and then licking her lips

"I'm glad you think so Miss Swan" Regina said huskily pushing Emma down on the bed, getting on to and started unbuttoning Emma's shirt. Kissing the revealed skin as she did so. Once she was at Emma's abs she ran both hands across it before undoing Emma's belt and nearly ripping Emma's pants off.

Emma sat up and finished removing her shirt and pulled Regina down for a hungry passionate kiss she removed Regina's bra and palmed both breasts in her hands then removed one hand to pull Regina even closer to her. Regina moaned in pleasure then was soon flipped over and her panties removed. Emma couldn't wait for a taste. She kissed Regina's inner thighs and soon was lapping up Regina's wetness.

"You taste so fucking good" Emma paused to say and looked up at the Mayor for a moment before she went back down on Regina and going to town on her clit. Licking and sucking till she entered Regina with her tongue and replacing fingers on Regina's clit. It wasn't long before Regina was screaming Emma's name in joy and coming all over Emma's face. Emma wiped her face with her shirt that happened to be near by she tossed it aside and climbed up the bed where Regina pulled Emma in for a kiss tasting herself still on Emma's tongue.

She removed Emma's bra and pinched the hard nipple just right to elicit a moan from Emma. Her other hand not wasting any time just slipped into Emma's wet panties and began playing with Emma's clit.

Emma was begging "Regina please"

"Please what dear?" Regina asked

"Inside me" Emma said

Regina plunged two fingers inside Emma save started pulling in and out

"Fuck that feels good don't stop babe " Emma said

Regina's kisses moved from Emma's neck to the neglected breast where she began licking, sucking, and slightly nibbling Emma's nipple.

"Harder" Emma instructed and Regina started pumping her fingers even harder. Soon enough Emma reached her climax and Regina collapsed on the bed beside her licking her fingers clean.

Emma wrapped her arms around Regina. Regina chastely kissed Emma before resting her head on Emma's chest. They just laid there in silence for a few minutes enjoying the post coital bliss.

"Emma?" Regina said

"Yeah Gina?" Emma asked

"Can I be honest?" Regina asked Emma

"I hope you're always honest with me you know my super power " Emma said

"I'm scared" Regina said

"Scared of what?" Emma asked

"Losing you when you learn of my past" Regina said

"I'm not going anywhere. I promise" Emma said

"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep"

"I have every intention of keeping that promise. Yes, your past is not the greatest but it's your past not your present nor is it your future.

I'm scared too. No one has stayed in my life. I've been abandoned over and over again. "

"I'm sorry, I feel responsible for that" Regina said

"Don't be you didn't force my parents to, you definitely had no control of any of my foster parents, same with my relationships.

How about we have that dessert?" Emma said kissing the top of Regina head.

"Alright I hope you like apple strudel. " Regina said

"With ice cream?" Emma sounded excited

Regina smiled looking at Emma. "yes with ice cream"

They both got out of bed and got decent. Emma with a tank top, and basketball shorts. Regina with her robe.

When downstairs Regina heated up the strudel. While waiting blew out all the candles and Emma brought the dirty dishes into the dishwasher in the kitchen.
Regina put away about left overs then grabbed plates for the apple strudel and ice cream.

Emma looked like an excited little kid. It only made Regina smile.

"Are you that excited dear?" Regina asked

"I can't wait!" Emma said excitedly.

Minutes later the strudels were out of the oven and on their respective plates with ice cream of course. Emma was making sounds of happiness and all Regina could do was laugh. Which just made Emma smile wider.

"That was far too good babe" Emma said

"I'm glad you enjoyed it" Regina said

"There's something else I enjoyed tonight" Emma said closing the distance between them. "you"

That made Regina blush she turned around and took their plates to the dishwasher and added soap

When she was bent over Emma smacked her ass. "Emma!" Regina exclaimed

"Sorry not sorry couldn't help it" Emma said with a grin.

Regina stood up and started the dishwasher and Emma wrapped her arms around her. Regina leaned back into her.

"I do know we've been only dating a week but I want to be with you for a long time. Let me love you Regina no matter how scared you might be. I'll hear everything you have to tell me when you're ready to tell me but I'm telling you right now I'm with the you that is here now with me not the you of the past"

Regina turned around and cupped Emma's face and kissed her again and again. "I'm terrified but I want to be with you too. I don't know when I'll be ready to tell you."

"When you're ready, you're ready babe no pressure from me" Emma said

"Thank you" Regina said

"No problem Gina" Emma said

Regina kissed Emma and backed her out of the kitchen.

"Just where might we be going" Emma said

"Back upstairs" Regina said kissing Emma

Emma picked Regina up for a second time the kissing continued as they went up the stairs.

"I think you might be enjoying this too much" Regina said in Emma's arms

"I might be" Emma said wiggling her eyebrows and setting down Regina.

Regina removed her robe setting it on a chair and Emma looked her up and down. "You're so damn perfect"

Regina removed Emma's tank top and shorts.

"You're not so bad yourself" Regina said kissing Emma. They managed to get into bed while they kissed and that lead to round two for the love birds to which after they fell asleep.
