Emma, Mary Margaret, Regina, and Ruby met to help discuss and plan wedding preparation.
Mary Margaret was excited to plan the day when she and her charming would pledge to be together forever.
"Don't worry, David and I are not inviting Neal to the wedding." Mary Margaret assured Emma.
"We should get security to make sure he doesn't try to barge his way in and ruin everything. Knowing my stepbrother, he would think it would be romantic to interrupt the ceremony and propose to Emma." Regina said.
"I never understood why scenes like that are in some movies. It's horrible to ruin someone's big day by stealing all of the attention for yourself." Mary Margaret said. "I would have slapped David had he tried to propose to me at someone else's wedding."
"I would never want a public proposal. That's just too embarrassing."
"I'm sure Killian will propose to you on his boat, out in the middle of the water." Mary Margaret informed Emma.
"Killian and I have just started dating. I doubt he's even thinking about marriage."
"Killian is the kind of guy who likes commitment. Once he finds what's right for him, he'll hold onto it forever. Tink told me that. He's not like my idiot stepbrother. I guarantee he won't wait a year before he's asking you to marry him."
Mary Margaret would not admit it, but as they were looking over things for her own wedding, she was also thinking about what would be perfect for Emma's wedding with Killian.
Once upon a Time
With the day's excursion deemed a royal success, each woman went home to her significant other, or others in Ruby's case, to change and get ready for the group's get together.
Changing from her day time clothes to her evening wear, Emma couldn't help thinking about what the other women suggested.
She understood that Killian was definitely the commitment type. Emma also knew that she and Killian had a lot of passion for one another.
The idea of being with Killian for the rest of her life was certainly not the worst one she had ever had.
If she were being honest with herself, Emma would have to admit that she loved the idea of having someone love and cherish her until death did them part.
But was Killian interested in committing himself to her so soon?
Emma wished she could read his mind and know whether to get her hopes up or not.
"Is something troubling you, love?" Killian asked when he walked into the bedroom and saw the woman he loved lost in thought.
"It's nothing. I'm just driving myself crazy." She shook her head.
Killian wasn't fully buying it, but he respected Emma to trust that if she was really worried, she would confide in him.
Once Upon a Time
Emma and Killian were the last to arrive at the group's get together at their favorite pub. And that meant that they had ended up being the topic of discussion for too long.
They knew this by the greeting they received from Ruby.
"Jefferson said he had to reupholster your couch. You have got to tell me what happened."
"It got a tear. That's all." Emma tried to assure her friend. But the looks on Emma and Killian's faces told Ruby there was way more to the story.
"The story involves stiletto heels." August said. "I know because she brought in a damaged pair for me to fix at the same time Killian brought in the couch for Jefferson."
"Emma also asked me to repair a corset." Jefferson added. "It looked as if someone had used their teeth on it."
Deep blushes and sheepish grins spread on Emma and Killian's faces.
"Now you have to tell me the story!" Ruby nearly shouted with an excited grin. "This sounds too good not to share."
"I wanted to do something special since Killian and I have been living together for three months." Emma confessed softly.
What she didn't say was that she had wanted to seduce Killian and had done so by surprising him with dinner while dressed in the sexiest outfit she could think of.
A front lace up corset that revealed far more than it covered, lace stockings that were held up by a garter belt, lace underwear that gave a generous view of her backside, and six inch stiletto heel shoes to help flatter her figure and give it a very sexy look.
She had set up a variety of cold finger foods on the living room coffee table.
Emma barely got out a "Hello." before Killian was on her.
The shoes and stockings had stayed on. Killian gave Emma so many orgasms that it was hard to know when exactly the tear in the couch happened, but both figured that Emma had dug her heels repeatedly into several places, which was why there were several holes in the couch and the heels had broken off of her shoes.
"The sacrifice was for a very good cause." Killian had assured Emma when she seemed concerned about the damage. "Please feel free to surprise me like that any time."
Because he enjoyed the memories attached to them, Killian had insisted Emma allow him to pay to have the shoes and corset repared.
The underwear had been torn from her, making them unrepairable. But Killian saw that as a plus because it meant he could request to go with Emma to search for their replacement.
They bought several.
"Just in case we have more casualties." He said with a wink.
Once Upon a time
From a dark corner of the pub, Neal watched and listened. The more he heard the more he seethed with rage.
His anger grew with every detail he heard. He wanted to make Emma pay for betraying him and make Killian pay for touching what belonged to him.
He was furious that Emma and Killian were so happy with their life when he was miserable.
He had not decided on what to do, but he was determined to get revenge for them destroying his life.
