My updates might be fewer and far between for my Swan Queen fics for a while due to massive amounts of school work (major projects), but know that I wish it weren't so. I'll try my best, but no promises. For now, here's some smut to hold you over until the next chapter. ;D
Regina started to grind her center against Emma's as she pressed the blonde further against the wall.
Emma bit her lip and tried not to pant loudly.
Regina scooped Emma into her arms and pulled her away from the wall. She carried her, the blonde's legs firmly wrapped around her hips, from the hallway to her bedroom.
She threw Emma down on the bed, her back landing on the mattress with a thud. She bounced into the air for a fleeting second then fell onto the bed again.
Regina moved her hand to the band of the sweatpants Emma wore and slipped a hand in her panties. She thrust a single, teasing finger into her and watched Emma close her eyes at the forceful touch.
Emma might have been turned on in the hallway, but she wasn't wet. Without any lubrication, Regina's finger entered her sharply.
Regina removed her finger then yanked the sweatpants and underwear off in one harsh, rapid movement. She carelessly flung the clothes across the room and lowered herself between Emma's legs.
Emma gasped and tensed as Regina not-too-lightly bit her clit.
"Ah," Emma grunted and jerked her hips up and away from the brunette.
Regina was relentless, however, and followed the Sheriff's movements toward the head of the bed.
Emma threw her head back and closed her eyes.
Regina pushed Emma's legs further apart and tugged at the woman's clit. With the bundle of nerves trapped between her teeth, she re-angled herself and pulled it upward just an inch.
Emma squeezed her eyes shut tighter and hissed.
Regina let go and licked the Sheriff's clit.
Emma sighed and relaxed.
Regina made her way back up Emma's body and grinned.
"Can't handle the pain this time," she asked, her voice sultry.
"You wanna hurt me? Bring it on," Emma responded in a low tone.
"Miss Swan, I highly doubt you could withstand what I'll do to you."
"Then let me prove you wrong."
Regina softly, throatily chuckled above the blonde.
"You don't give up, do you?"
"When have you ever known me to give up?"
"Do you really want me to hurt you to prove a point?"
Emma looked from Regina's eyes to her lips then met her gaze again before she answered.
"Yes."
"Then you have no one to blame but yourself for what's about to happen," Regina said as she leaned in and kissed Emma.
She bit Emma's bottom lip after the kiss and clawed at the Sheriff's hip. She reached a hand between them and thrust two fingers inside Emma. She kept them still and pressed her dress pants against Emma's sex. She started to grind against Emma at a moderate pace and bit the woman's lip a little harder.
Emma squirmed and let out a soft sound of struggle.
Regina hummed as she released Emma's lip and looked at Emma as she flicked her thumb over the Sheriff's clit.
Emma's pupils widened as her breathing started to become erratic.
Regina started to move her fingers. She thrust in and out of Emma at the same pace she'd set with the rest of her body.
Emma made a noise between a groan and a moan as she started to pant.
"Look at me, "Regina commanded.
Emma looked around the room then at the ceiling before she closed her eyes.
Regina added a third finger and Emma writhed beneath her.
"Look at me," Regina repeated slower and with more force.
Emma gulped then licked her lips before she shook her head.
Regina sat up a bit, but stayed on her knees as she continued to move in and out of Emma. She pressed the heel of her hand against Emma's abdomen and pushed up Emma's shirt until her hand touched the under wire of her bra.
She curled her body as she leaned in and kissed the skin at Emma's ribs. A few open mouthed kisses and a couple teasing licks later, she sunk her teeth into soft, pale flesh.
Emma arched her back and gritted her teeth. She reached out and grabbed onto the waistband of Regina's dress pants. She pulled Regina into her and rubbed her center against the Mayor's at the pace the brunette had set.
Emma fought to open her eyes as she tried to regulate her breathing. She knew there would be a bite mark on her ribs and she could already feel the bruise start to appear.
Regina let go of Emma's ribs and looked down at Emma.
After a few seconds, she was able to obey Regina and looked up at her with darkened eyes and dilated pupils.
Regina devilishly grinned and removed her fingers.
Emma shuddered then relaxed as the pain slowly subsided in her sex.
Regina lowered herself between Emma's legs and ran her tongue through the Sheriff's folds. She tantalizingly formed circles around Emma's opening then came up to her clit. She licked up and down then in circles before she roamed over the length of her increasingly slick center.
Emma's breath hitched as she arched her back to press herself against Regina's tongue.
Just when Emma was comfortable, Regina moved up her body and waited until their eyes met before she slipped three fingers inside the younger woman.
Emma bit her bottom lip and grabbed a fistful of bed sheets as they resumed their previous pace together.
Regina gripped the hem of Emma's shirt that was rolled up to her bra, and pulled the shirt over her chest.
Emma sat up and raised her arms as Regina's pace momentarily slowed.
Regina peeled the shirt completely off the blonde and tossed it over the side of the bed as Emma fell onto her back again. She sped up her pace to match the previous speed set then placed a hand on the top of Emma's left inner thigh, close to her center. She brought her lips down to Emma's breast and chastely kissed the plump skin.
"Take it off," Regina purred as she pulled back.
Emma arched her back again and reached around to unhook her bra. She picked at the clasp and, one by one, undid the bra. She pushed the straps off her shoulders and down her arms then tore the bra away from her body.
She couldn't throw it across the room as Regina curled her fingers and pushed deeper into Emma. She moaned and gripped the bra tightly in her fist as she clutched the sheets with her other fist. She threw her arm down on the bed and pressed her wrist into the mattress as the bra threatened to wrap around her hand.
Regina leaned in and licked one of Emma's exposed nipples.
Emma moaned and released her hold on the bra before she grabbed a handful of her own hair.
Regina started to suck on the nipple as she moved her hand on Emma's thigh closer to the gauze. As she gave a rough thrust into Emma, she dug her nails into the sore and recently opened wound.
Emma loudly screamed for several seconds and squeezed her eyes shut. She threw her head back and pushed down on the pillow beneath her. She shot her hand from her hair to Regina's and tried to pull her away. She used her other hand to claw at Regina's left forearm.
Regina's eyes flashed purple as she fought Emma's pull and purple clouds engulfed the room before Henry had time to wake up to the sound of Emma's pain.
Regina's ring, which she'd taken off earlier in the evening, glowed on the nightstand as the smoke started to dissipate, the room successfully sound proofed.
The sparks in Regina's eyes faded as she raked her nails across the gauze and caused the dressing to come off.
Emma couldn't fight the tears that escaped her and streamed down her face. She cried out as she felt a nail dig into one of the cuts on the carved "R" and blood warmed her leg as it flowed down her thigh.
"Look at me," Regina aggressively demanded that time.
Emma sniffled as she opened her eyes and stared straight into Regina's dark eyes.
"You can stop this any time," Regina told her as she loosened her grip on Emma's thigh and pulled out of Emma.
She harshly pumped her fingers into Emma once more.
Emma groaned and moved her hand closer to Regina's. She grabbed the brunette's wrist and tried to pull her away from her thigh.
Regina shook her head and chuckled before she started to claw at Emma's half exposed wound.
Emma yelped and turned to her right, breaking eye contact with Regina.
"Give up, dear?"
"No," Emma choked out.
"You're truly determined, aren't you?"
Regina leaned in and passionately kissed Emma.
Emma didn't kiss back as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Regina broke the kiss and pulled back to see Emma's face. She saw the tears glisten in the moonlight that came in through the bedroom window.
"Lucky for you, we're almost done here," Regina said before she kissed Emma's cheek.
She caught a salty tear between her lips during the kiss and let go of Emma's thigh.
Emma tried to take a deep breath, but could only manage a few shallow ones as she tried to calm down.
Regina took Emma's hand into her own and laced their fingers. She slowly brought Emma's hand down to the mattress a few inches away from the younger woman's shoulder, the back of the blonde's hand pressed against the sheets.
Regina leaned in and licked Emma's nipple again. She curled her fingers every time she entered Emma and continued to grind against the Sheriff.
Emma started to pant as she tried not to think about the pain in her thigh.
Regina took the hardened nipple between her lips and sucked and nibbled on the reddish pink nub. She let go of Emma's hand and caressed the injured thigh. She got blood on her hand as she removed the gauze completely, out of sight and mind, and pushed Emma's legs further apart by the blonde's left knee.
Regina brushed the pad of her thumb over Emma's swollen clit and moved with Emma as her chest heaved at the feeling.
Regina found Emma's hand again as she finished spreading Emma's legs and sped up her pace.
The amount of pain mixed with pleasure was uneven as Emma felt her thigh throb with every thrust, but she zeroed in on the feeling of Regina's fingers inside of her. She closed her eyes as she enjoyed Regina's mouth on her breast and her walls tightened around slender fingers.
Regina became wet as she felt Emma contract around her fingers and gripped Emma's hand tighter on the mattress. She transferred blood from her hand to Emma's as their fingers squeezed together for a firm touch.
Regina stretched up Emma's body and met the Sheriff's lips with her own in a fevered kiss. She pressed her fully clothed center against Emma's exposed sex and refrained from pulling out of Emma. She stilled her fingers inside the younger woman, buried knuckles deep into her, and moved around inside. She made circular patterns with her thumb over Emma's clit and darted her tongue out to play with Emma's in their kiss.
Emma squeezed Regina's hand and hummed then sighed during her release.
Emma broke their kiss, but allowed their lips to brush against each other as Regina stayed pressed against the blonde while she rode out her orgasm.
Emma melted into the bed as she relaxed her muscles and tried to control her breathing. She looked up at Regina who stared down at her with an unreadable expression.
Regina held Emma's hand then dipped down and kissed Emma again.
"I underestimated you, Miss Swan," she said after the kiss and rested on her knees between Emma's legs. "I imagine you must be tired, though."
"I'm fine," she bitterly said through gritted teeth.
"I won't hold it against you if you're tired. I can't possibly think any less of you."
"You know, I'm getting tired of you saying shit like that. If you think I'm so worthless, why do you bother fucking me?"
"Simple, dear. You're fun to tear apart."
Emma scoffed.
"You've never had it so good," Emma growled in response.
"Even if that were true, you wouldn't have to mean a thing to me."
"Get off me," Emma said as she let go of Regina's hand and used her free hand to shove the Mayor away.
Regina didn't let go of Emma's hand and kept it trapped between hers and the bed. She leaned forward and laid on top of Emma, more so than she had previously towered over her, as she fought Emma's fighting hand.
"Get off me!"
"Calm down," Regina soothingly spoke as Emma wriggled beneath her.
"No! Get off!"
Regina sighed then chastely kissed Emma's sternum.
Emma's breathing became shallow and erratic as she violently jerked under the brunette. She thrashed around to the point of opening her wound even more and yelped.
"Stop," Regina said as she finally removed her fingers. "You're only hurting yourself."
"Please," Emma softly whimpered after a moment. "Please get off."
"You're begging me?"
Emma nodded with puppy dog eyes.
"I'm not going to hurt you anymore if that's what you're worried about, dear."
"No. Just...get off. My leg hurts and I'm bleeding and I can't be near you right now."
Regina sat up on her knees again and let go of Emma's hand.
Emma rolled onto her right side and sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds before she got up. She took a step toward the master bathroom and cringed at the sharp pain in her thigh. She clenched her fist and hissed before she slowly limped to the bathroom.
Regina watched Emma struggle, but nonetheless prevail, as she went into the bathroom. She sighed and rolled off her knees to sit on the bed. She peeled off her shirt then got out of the bed. She walked to her dresser and pulled out a silk pajama top. She tossed it onto the bed and searched for a pair of clean underwear and sleep pants.
She grabbed a pair of half-cheek panties that barely concealed her backside and a pair of silk shorts that stopped mid-thigh. She placed them on the bed next to the top she'd picked out then stripped down to only her bra.
Emma turned on the bath and sat on the edge of it, her feet in the tub. She put her hand under the warm water and collected a handful of water before she slowly poured it onto her wound.
She grimaced as a strangled groan escaped her, but she continued to pour the water onto her thigh over and over to clean it. After the blood started to clot a bit, she grabbed the towel from earlier that she'd used to clean up with and dried off.
Regina slipped into her comfortable sleepwear and looked over at the door to the bathroom, slightly open as it had been earlier when Emma cleaned up after Twister, and listened to the running water for a short while. After nearly thirty seconds, she opened the bedroom door and went downstairs to check on the laundry.
Regina crossed the threshold from the kitchen into the laundry room and the brunette immediately pulled open the dryer door, the machine quiet in its idle state.
She removed the clothes and dropped them into a basket before she dug out Emma's underwear. She held them in one hand and searched through the pile of clothes for a loose shirt. She didn't have many in her possession, but she had a few from a time when Henry kept her up most hours of the night and her elegant wardrobe started to suffocate her.
She pulled out a black T-shirt, the soft cotton more than welcoming, and draped it over her arm before she closed the dryer. She lifted the basket with her free hand and set it on top of the machine then headed back upstairs.
Regina walked into the bedroom and still heard water running. She frowned and headed into the bathroom with the clothes in hand. She looked down at Emma as she held a bloody towel in her lap as the wound continued to bleed.
"Is everything okay," Regina asked as she set the clothes down on the counter by the sink.
Emma shook her head.
"I thought it stopped, but...the blood isn't clotting."
"Here," Regina said as she came up behind Emma and knelt in front of the bath.
She took the towel from Emma, the younger woman's back to her as she tried to help. She tossed the towel over her shoulder and placed her right hand under the water. When she had a handful, she carefully poured it onto Emma's thigh.
Emma gripped the edge of the bath and tensed.
"It's okay," Regina soothingly said before she placed a chaste kiss on Emma's back.
Emma slowly relaxed.
Regina shifted to get a better look at Emma's thigh and grabbed the towel from her shoulder.
"Lift your arm," Regina gently commanded.
Emma did what Regina said and raised her arm. She brought it behind Regina's head and draped it over the Mayor's shoulders. She turned her body slightly to make herself more comfortable in her new position and gave Regina a better view of her leg.
Regina leaned in and slowly, gently pressed the towel onto the "R".
Emma gripped Regina's shoulder and unintentionally brought the brunette's face close to her bare chest.
Regina looked to her right to see Emma's naked form and focused on the Sheriff's side. She kissed Emma's ribs and felt her relax into the kiss. She reached around Emma and slowly ran her fingertips up and down Emma's uninjured thigh.
Emma shivered and sighed as she tilted her head back.
"Good girl," Regina barely said above a whisper before she kissed Emma's front, not too far below Emma's right breast as she pressed down a little harder on the wound.
Emma hardly felt it as Regina ran her tongue across her upper torso.
Regina pulled away from Emma after a moment and brought her other hand to the towel on Emma's thigh. She lifted it and inspected the red mark. The blood had mostly clotted, the bleeding no longer much of a problem. She stood with the towel in her hand and turned toward the sink. She went into the medicine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of Ibuprofen then took the gauze out of a nearby drawer.
She turned back to Emma and set the Ibuprofen down next to her on the edge of the bath.
"Turn around," Regina said.
Emma slowly turned and set her feet down on the mat that lay on the floor in front of the tub, her feet slightly wet from the water in the bath.
"Why are you helping me?"
"I underestimated you," Regina replied as she knelt in front of Emma, between the Sheriff's legs.
"You said that before. That doesn't tell me why you're being so nice."
"Not many people prove me wrong. I think you deserve a little pampering after what I put you through."
"So...you're rewarding me for not giving up," Emma asked with clear confusion.
Regina smiled and softly chortled as she started to dress Emma's wound.
"I guess that's one way of putting it. I'm commending you on your stamina. I could always stop if you don't want me to help."
"No."
"No you don't want my help," Regina asked as she looked up at Emma and stopped wrapping the fresh gauze around her thigh.
"No," Emma shook her head then corrected the Mayor. "No, don't stop."
Regina smiled as she looked down at Emma's thigh and continued to wrap the gauze around the wound.
"Thank you," Emma said after a moment.
"Don't thank me. I'm the one that did this to you, remember?"
"I asked for it. You said so yourself. Anything that happened after I accepted your little challenge was my fault."
"You actually listen to me?"
"Maybe. Doesn't everyone in this town?"
"Yes, but you're not them. You've never done what I wanted. You always push me and try to prove me wrong. It's like you have a score to settle with me. No one else fights back, especially not like you."
"Well, if it means that much to you, maybe I'll listen to you all the time."
Regina laughed.
"I like things just the way they are between us, Miss Swan. Feel free to listen to me even less than you do now."
"I find that kind of hard to believe," Emma said as she cupped Regina's cheek and caused the brunette to look up at her.
"You don't know me. You don't know what I want."
"You can be as bitter and hurtful as you'd like, but I do know you. I've got this superpower and I can tell when people are lying."
"Are you suggesting I've lied to you?"
"No, although I'm sure have, but I bet you're about to."
Regina looked quizzically at Emma.
"Do you want me to leave?"
"Leave Storybrooke?"
"Leave here. Now. You've fixed up my leg, we've had dinner. I've more than overstayed my welcome for the evening. Do you want me to go?"
Regina looked deep into Emma's green eyes as she tried to find her voice.
"You're right," Regina firmly started. "You have overstayed your welcome, haven't you. Yes, I want you to go."
Regina stood and broke eye contact as she said the last five words.
Emma smirked up at Regina and after a few seconds, brown eyes met green again.
"You lied."
"Excuse me? You should leave now before I do much worse to your leg," she said as she shifted her focus from Emma to various points in the room.
Emma shook her head.
"No. I'm not leaving until you look me in the eyes and tell me to leave."
Regina looked straight at Emma and took a few deep breaths before she slowly spoke.
"I want you to..." Regina trailed off.
Emma stood staring up at the Mayor. She did nothing, didn't move, didn't speak as she waited for Regina to finish her sentence.
"I want you to..." she spoke faster that time, but trailed off again before she looked away. "Leave!"
"You can't say it, can you," Emma asked as she stood up. "You can't look at me and say what you should be saying, but you can't even admit to yourself what you want to say."
Regina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes and looked at Emma once again.
"Stay," she firmly blurted.
Emma parted her lips and curled them into a small, satisfied smile.
"There it is. The truth," Emma said as she stepped closer to Regina.
"That doesn't change anything."
Emma slowly nodded and closed the space between them.
"Okay. Nothing changes."
Emma leaned in and kissed Regina.
Regina dropped the gauze to the floor and placed her hands on Emma's hips.
Emma backed Regina against the counter and slid her tongue between the Mayor's parted lips.
"I still owe you an orgasm," Emma said between kisses as she attacked Regina's lips. "In fact..."
She trailed off to give Regina another kiss.
"I owe you two."
Emma ran her hand down Regina's front and grazed the brunette's breast through the silk shirt she wore.
Regina hummed into the next kiss.
Emma brought both hands down to Regina's hips and lifted her. She slid Regina onto the counter and positioned herself between the Mayor's legs before she kissed her again.
Emma hooked her fingers into the band of Regina's shorts and panties and simultaneously pulled them down her thighs.
Regina placed her palms flat against the counter and lifted her backside off it to help Emma remove the clothing. Happy to get rid of them before she had to change her underwear for a second time that night, she lowered herself onto the cold counter with a whimper when Emma let the clothes fall to the floor.
Emma touched her fingertips to the upper part of Regina's torso and trailed her hand down to the Mayor's center.
Regina moaned when Emma pressed her fingertips against her clit and spread her legs. She rested the heels of her feet on the edge of the counter and placed a hand over Emma's traveling hand. She guided Emma further down her folds as she became wet and gripped two of Emma's fingers before inserting them into herself.
Emma continued to kiss Regina as she allowed the woman to guide her and grinned when Regina moaned and slid two fingers inside herself.
Regina dropped her jaw and pulled away from the kiss as she reveled in the feeling of Emma inside her at her her own request. She moved her hand from the base of Emma's fingers to the blonde's wrist and slowly, teasingly worked the fingers in and out of her herself.
Emma grabbed a fistful of Regina's hair and pulled her in for another kiss.
"You're so sexy right now," Emma whispered against Regina's lips after she ended the kiss, but didn't pull back.
Regina's breathing became shallow as she pumped Emma's fingers in and out.
"F-f-fuck," Regina sputtered as she quickened the pace and Emma rubbed circles over Regina's clit.
"Careful, Regina, you're starting to sound like me," Emma smirked as she lowered her mouth to Regina's neck.
She kissed Regina's neck from just under her earlobe down to her collarbone, occasionally licking the hot skin, before she nipped at Regina's pulse point.
"More," Regina desperately demanded.
Emma added a finger and quickened the pace as Regina's hand started to loosen around her wrist.
Regina threw her head back and eased it against the wall beside the mirror.
Emma pulled away from Regina's neck to take in the sight of the Mayor spread out for her, eyes closed and breathing erratic.
Emma licked her lips then bit her bottom lip as Regina made her extremely wet.
"Look at me," Emma panted as she kindly repeated Regina's earlier words.
Both women knew Emma wasn't being forceful. It was more of a friendly request than a command, but Regina still wasted no time doing what the younger woman wanted.
Emma applied more pressure to Regina's clit as she slowed her circular motion.
Regina looked straight into green eyes and suddenly, Emma recognized a softness in them.
For a moment, Emma could have sworn she saw a pleading look in brown orbs as Regina stared at her, but the look was masked heavily by the harshness of Regina's heart. Emma then realized how guarded Regina was and slowly started to understand little things about the brunette's behavior.
Unbelievably so, Emma could see Regina wearing down, her protective walls thinning the more time she spent with the older woman.
Emma gripped Regina's backside with her free hand and pulled her closer to the edge of the counter. She placed her palm on the underside of Regina's right knee and set it on her shoulder.
"Other leg," Emma asked.
Regina quickly rested the back of her other knee on Emma's bare shoulder and arched her back as she felt Emma curl her fingers against her walls.
Regina flexed the muscles in her thighs and squeezed Emma's shoulders with the backs of her knees.
"Oh, god!"
Regina closed her eyes again and Emma felt the warmth grow between her legs.
"Regina," Emma mumbled as she gripped the edge of the counter and looked down at Regina's lower abdomen as she thrust harder into Regina.
"So...close," Regina whispered as her walls tightened around Emma's fingers.
"Fuck," Emma moaned as she closed her eyes and sped up her pace. "Regina!"
Regina opened her eyes and looked at Emma when she heard the woman call her name.
She throatily chuckled at the sight of Emma.
"You need me," she said as she let go of Emma's wrist completely and bit her lip as she leaned forward and dropped her left leg to Emma's right side.
She cupped Emma's wet center then massaged it for a few seconds.
Emma slowed her pace as Regina continued to tease her.
Regina panted with a smile as she rested her forehead against Emma's.
"So impatient," Regina said as she slipped three fingers into the Sheriff.
Emma moaned and brought her pace back to its previous speed. She curled her fingers against a different spot inside Regina and the brunette gasped.
"Right there," Regina moaned. "Harder."
Emma thrust her fingers in deeper to oblige Regina and the Mayor rewarded her by speeding up her pace.
"God, yes," Emma exclaimed as she threw a leg over top of the counter, under Regina's leg like they were playing their own version of Twister.
She hooked her ankle into the sink for leverage and opened her eyes. She stared directly at Regina as the brunette squeezed her shoulders again.
The two of them were curled toward each other as Emma turned her head and bit down on Regina's lower inner thigh, close to her right knee.
Regina groaned into Emma's hair as she rested her forehead on Emma's free shoulder.
Emma continued to push Regina's boundaries as she forced her fingers deeper into her. She ran her thumb over Regina's swollen clit as her walls tightened around Regina's fingers and scraped her nail over the sensitive bundle of nerves.
She eased up on her bite and licked the mark she left as Regina moaned loudly and came undone.
Normally, the Mayor didn't make much noise. She was able to conceal her pleasure extremely well until that night. Emma enjoyed it all the same.
Regina panted against Emma's shoulder and gave a good, rough thrust into Emma to finish her off.
"F-f-f-u-u-u-ck," Emma moaned as she placed her forehead on Regina's thigh and let go.
She panted as she brought her leg down from the counter.
Regina slowly removed her fingers and, after a moment, Emma remembered she still had hers inside Regina.
Emma started to pull out when Regina stopped her.
"Don't," she warned as she pulled away from Emma's shoulder and brought her other leg down to Emma's side, careful not to touch her bandaged leg. "Not done."
Emma bit her lip as Regina leaned back against the wall. She bent her fingers inside Regina as she curled and uncurled them against the Mayor's walls.
Regina bit her bottom lip and let out a soft moan.
Emma bent over at the waist and leaned in. She slowly ran her tongue over Regina's clit then sucked on the bundle of nerves. Emma teased her as she slowly started to remove her fingers then slid them back in when Regina's breath hitched.
Regina came undone a second time and sighed as Emma removed her fingers. She licked her lips and took a minute to come down from her high before she opened her eyes.
Emma licked the length of Regina's center and lapped up the remnants of Regina's release before she looked up at Regina.
Regina leaned in and kissed away the small mess left on Emma's chin as she tasted herself. She brought her lips to Emma's and sweetly kissed her.
"You've definitely got to be tired now," Regina said as she rested her forehead against Emma's again.
Emma breathlessly chuckled.
"Yeah," Emma answered.
"Shower?"
"Join me?"
Regina placed her hands on Emma's shoulders and pushed her away from the counter as she started to control her breathing. She slid off the counter then peeled off her shirt.
Emma smiled and closed the space between them. She reached around Regina and unhooked her bra.
When the bra hit the floor, Regina took Emma's hand and laced their fingers as she pulled Emma along with her to the shower.
Regina started the water then felt Emma tug her back. She looked over her shoulder at Emma before the blonde let go of her hand and started to pick at the gauze.
Regina bent over and helped her unwrap it.
"Sorry to waste your gauze."
Regina shook her head.
"Not a waste."
Emma stopped and looked down at Regina. She wasn't sure if she'd heard correctly, but what she understood from the brunette's statement was that being with her was worth using up all the gauze.
"You okay," Regina asked as she stopped.
Emma smiled and nodded as she resumed her work on the gauze.
Regina waited a few seconds before she went back to helping Emma out of it.
"This is probably going to hurt," Regina warned as she took both of Emma's hands, the gauze forgotten on the floor in front of the shower.
Regina started to back into the shower as Emma stepped forward to follow her.
"I know," Emma said as she took her first step into the shower.
The water flowed down Regina's back as steam started to rise from her skin. A few droplets sprung off her shoulders and sprinkled Emma's chest.
Regina slowly pulled Emma toward her and minimized the space between them. Water started to hit Emma's thigh as Regina walked further underneath the shower head. Fortunately, it wasn't enough to sting Emma as the tips of Regina's hair got wet.
Regina tipped her head back and soaked her hair as she wrapped an arm around Emma's waist. She used the other hand to flip her hair around and make sure she wet all of it.
Emma slipped her right leg between Regina's thighs as the two stood almost flush against each other.
Regina hummed and wrapped her other arm around Emma's waist as she met the blonde's gaze again.
More water hit Emma's thigh and she instinctively clawed Regina's hip and lower back to keep from hissing or groaning.
Regina turned them so her left side and Emma's right side were hit with the water.
Emma relaxed as the stinging in her thigh faded.
"Thank you," she said as she removed her nails from Regina.
Regina nodded then let go of Emma. She turned and grabbed a bottle of shampoo. She grabbed Emma's wrist and turned her hand over, palm up, before she squeezed out a good amount of shampoo. She let go of Emma's wrist to give herself some shampoo as Emma started to lather her hair.
Regina did the same after she put the shampoo back in its proper place then turned when Emma was ready to rinse.
Emma turned her back to the shower head and tipped her head back as she rinsed out her long hair.
The scent of apples filled the air and Emma tried not to smile.
Regina noticed the subtle smile on Emma's lips and mirrored the expression.
Emma stepped away from the shower head and spun the them around before she nudged Regina under the warm water.
Regina quickly rinsed out her hair then grabbed her apple scented body wash. She squeezed out a near handful then set the body wash down. She rubbed her hands together to spread out the wash then ran her hands down Emma's arms. Once her arms were soapy, Regina came back up and ran her hands over Emma's chest. She felt up Emma's breasts as she applied the body wash and watched Emma close her eyes.
The blonde parted her lips and waited a few seconds before she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Regina again.
Regina grinned then roamed over Emma's stomach. She covered Emma in the body wash, careful of the mark she'd left on the blonde's left thigh, and placed Emma under the shower head. She ran her hands over every inch of Emma's body as she helped rinse off the body wash.
Emma tensed as the water hit her thigh.
Regina hurried to get Emma away from the water then filled the Sheriff's hand with the body wash.
Emma rubbed her hands together like Regina had then started at the brunette's collarbone. She moved her hands from Regina's sternum to her arms then over the rest of Regina's chest. She took her time as her hands slid up and down Regina's breasts. She smirked as Regina bit her lip and grinned.
"You started it," Emma said.
"I'm glad I did," Regina confessed in a sultry tone.
By the time Emma reached Regina's legs, she struggled to crouch down, but did the best she could to apply the body wash to every part of her.
Regina helped as she raised her legs when needed then rinsed off.
Emma rubbed her hands down Regina's front slowly as the water cleared away the body wash. It was the only thing she could do without hurting herself and she gave her all.
Regina arched her back to press her breasts into Emma's touch as the blonde ran her hands all over slippery skin. When she was clean, Regina leaned in and kissed Emma before she turned off the shower.
She kissed Emma again as she pushed Emma backward toward the shower door.
Emma's back collided with the door and Regina deepened the kiss as she slid a knee between the Sheriff's legs.
Emma hummed into their last kiss before Regina slowly pulled back.
Regina wrapped a hand around Emma's waist and brought them flush against each other. She opened the shower door and relaxed her arm before she took her first step out of the shower.
"I brought you something to sleep in," Regina said as she spun Emma around and guided her to the counter.
Emma smiled as she saw her underwear peek out from under the black shirt.
"Thanks," Emma said as she picked the panties out of the shirt's lazy hold on them.
Regina took a step back as she allowed Emma to slip into her underwear then closed the space between them again. She reached over and grabbed the shirt off the counter.
"Arms," Regina said.
Emma raised her arms high enough to slip into the shirt sleeves then lifted them above her head.
Regina pulled the shirt down her muscled body and let go when the shirt flowed around the Sheriff's hips.
"This shirt is so comfy," Emma said as she twisted the fabric between her fingers.
Regina chuckled and made her way over to her fallen clothes. She simultaneously slid into her underwear and silk shorts as they had been removed then debated wearing a bra to sleep as originally planned. She decided to forgo the bra and pulled on her silk shirt when Emma sidled up next to her.
Regina faced Emma and looked down at the younger woman's thigh. She scanned the bathroom floor for the gauze she knew she'd dropped near the bath. She spotted it a few inches from her foot and bent down to grab it.
She swept it off the floor and took Emma's hand in her free hand. She guided Emma back to the edge of the bath and gently pushed her down to sit on it.
Regina knelt in front of Emma and dressed the wound again, quicker than the last time. When she finished, she held out her hand to Emma and the blonde took it. Once Emma stood, Regina let go of her hand and put the gauze back where it belonged. She looked over her shoulder as she headed toward the bedroom and watched Emma follow her.
Emma started to move toward the bedroom door when Regina peeled off the bloody comforter and stopped her.
"There's a clean one in the linen closet," Regina informed her as she folded the comforter a couple times then draped it over her arm. "Will you get it off the third shelf while I take this to the laundry room?"
Emma eyed Regina and the stained comforter.
"Okay," she agreed then followed Regina into the hall.
Regina continued down the stairs while Emma reached up and grabbed the clean comforter.
Emma noted it was white. The pattern on it was different than the one Regina had taken with her, but it still matched all the neutral colors throughout the house.
Emma smiled and shook her head as she held the comforter to her. She closed the linen closet and went back into Regina's room. She laid it out over the bed and adjusted it as needed.
Regina sprayed the bloodied part of the comforter with stain remover after she ran it under hot water. She tossed it into the washing machine and started up a new spin cycle. She let the machine rumble a few times to make sure it started before she went back upstairs.
As she crossed the kitchen, she checked the time on the microwave. She would be up to help Henry get ready for school in less than six hours. She ascended the stairs as she started to feel exhaustion creep up on her. She ran a hand through her short hair as she reached the top of the stairs.
She walked into her room and instantly noticed Emma curled up under the covers, eyes closed. She stopped and leaned against the door frame.
"Couldn't make it to the guest room, Miss Swan," she asked.
"Mm-mm," Emma answered as she kept her eyes closed and kept perfectly still in the bed.
Regina pushed off the door frame and closed the door behind her as she walked further into the room. She moved around to the far side of the bed and got under the covers with Emma.
"You better give a good massage tomorrow. You're sleeping on my side of the bed," Regina said as she turned her back to Emma.
"Best massage of your life," Emma sleepily mumbled.
Regina grinned at Emma's words and closed her eyes.
Emma fell asleep moments before Regina relaxed and drifted off to sleep herself, the two of them worlds apart as they lay with their backs to each other.
