Ruby exclaimed in surprise, "What the fuck? You little whore!" Her jealousy thickly laden in her voice. "You've been holding out on me, pet!"

Emma withdrew herself, and the butt plug, from the Mayor; quickly unbuckled the restraints and lifted the Queen up and carried her over to the bed. Emma had experience with making women come in such a way, and although she had never personally done it herself, she knew that it was incredibly draining emotionally. Emma snapped her fingers at the leggy brunette and demanded, "Towel. Blanket." Ruby pulled out a towel from beneath the toy rack bench and tossed it over then made her way upstairs in search of a blanket.

Holding the Queen to her breast, Emma tried to dry off the woman's thighs, wrapping the small towel around her ass then pulled the black satin sheet around the brunette's damp body and held her. Realizing quickly the Queen in her arms was quietly crying, Emma reassured, "Shhh, Gina. I've got you. It's okay."

The brunette inhaled a shuddering breath and mumbled, "I don't even know why I'm crying, this is ridiculous."

Emma smiled and said, "It is okay. You ejaculated. Tears sometimes happen afterward."

"I've never done that before," the brunette said, shyly.

"Judging by Miss Lucas' jealousy, I gathered that." Chuckling, Emma's face showed the pride she felt. This was something that was hers. She did this miraculous thing that Ruby hadn't had first. Call it petty, but Emma was proud.

"I mean with anyone, Miss Swan." The gentle pink on the apples of the Queen's cheeks grew darker, and Emma wrapped her arms around her and held her tight.

Ruby made her way down the stairs, "Ems I don't have blankets here…" As she rounded the staircase, she saw the women wrapped up in each other's arms. Losing her footing, she slipped, startling the Mayor out of her safe haven. Regina's mind focused, and she leaped from the bed and the security of Miss Swan's arms.

Emma saw the walls of the Queen shoot up, and the woman grow rigid in an instant when Regina addressed the leggy brunette, "I believe our time is up, Miss Lucas."

"We actually ran over, but that's fine, I have no other appointments today." Ruby grinned.

Reaching under the bed, Regina grabbed her bag. Pulling out an envelope, she handed it to the taller brunette who took it with a questioning eyebrow raise and then in a puff of purple smoke; the Queen was gone.

Ruby asked, "What the fuck was that about?"

Emma's face held the same surprise the wolf felt when she asked, motioning toward the white envelope, "What is that?"

"Oh, um, her payment."

Emma scrunched up her face as she wrapped the sheet around her waist, she asked, "Payment for what?"

"Oh, this," Ruby said, waving her hands around the room.

"Wait, what?"

"What?"

"She pays you… ?"

Ruby nodded her head as if that was the craziest thing she'd ever heard, "Uh, yeah?"

"Like a fucking prostitute? Fuck Ruby! Did she think she was paying ME?" The color drained from the already pale woman's face as she felt the dark walls close in on her; she panicked and fled upstairs, "I gotta go!"

"Emma!" Ruby called as she chased her up the main floor.

"No, Ruby! What the fuck?! I like her! And she's my kid's mother, and now she thinks I'm a fucking prostitute?"

"Ems! Calm down! Will you let me explain?!"

Emma whipped around on the wolf girl with a snarl. "Explain what? I didn't know when I came out here I'd be pimping myself out to my kid's mother, Rubes!"

Red bristled and straightened her back in the face of the blonde's accusations. "Will you stop calling it that for fuck sakes?! I'm not a god damn prostitute! I'm a dominatrix! She pays me to dominate her, not to fuck her!"

Emma was seething, and she finally let her jealousy consume her. She angrily stuffed her mostly damp legs into her skinny jeans and spat, "Yeah, but you do fuck her!"

The wolf backed down when she saw the blatant hurt her friend was feeling and asked in a soothing tone. "Do you want me to stop seeing her?"

Emma laughed mirthlessly, "Yeah, because I have any say in what she fucking does or who she fucking fucks!" The jealousy the Savior felt was palpable, and she knew it. She needed to get out of that cabin where all she could smell was Regina Mills.

"You may not, but I do."

Emma scoffed and bent over to tie her sneakers.

"We have a contract. A contract I was going to gift to you if things went well today," the wolf said as she sheepishly lowered her eyes.

Emma sat up with a surprised look on her face and just gaped at her friend.

"I know it may not seem like it right this second," the brunette took the Savior's stunned stance as an opportunity to get into her personal space. "But I was trying to help you. Both of you. I think you are a natural, Em. I've never seen anyone take to Dominating as quickly or as proficiently as you. I do it for the money," Ruby rolled her eyes and admitted, "Alright, I get off on the power, but I do it for the money mostly." She took her friend's quiet contemplation as progress and knelt next to her. "You do it because it is who you are. She recognized that in you. You owned her."

Emma shook her head and broke the bewitching stare of green lycan eyes.

No, this wasn't real.

"She was simply paying for a service, like getting her dry cleaning done, or her roots touched up. Even if it was real, which it wasn't, she ran. I know how to run, and that woman could be an Olympic gold medalist in running from your problems."

"I bet you a night of drinks at the 'Hole she still has her collar on. She may have run, but she still gave you that precious gift of trust, Emma."

Emma folded her arms around herself as if she were protecting her ego from the wolf's trickery and inevitable disappointment. Emma shook her head at what her friend was saying, "Because she belongs to you. You told her to give me the key."

Red rolled her eyes at the Savior's stubbornness. "Yeah, but she still gave it to you. She could have refused. She has a safeword. She gave you her submission, Emma, because she wanted you to have it."

While Emma sat and quietly contemplated what the waitress had said, Ruby took the opportunity to pick up and hand the blonde a manila envelope. Emma looked up at the green eyes studying her and then quickly opened it.

Surprise and wonder crossed the emerald eyes of the Savior, "What if…" she thickly swallowed before she continued, "What if she refuses?"

"You really don't listen well, do you?" Ruby said with an exaggerated sigh.
