'Good morning, dear.' Regina breezed on in the kitchen, her robe flying behind her. She had another night of great sleep and it was mainly because of her being to kiss Emma as much as she wanted. She reserved the lips after the end of a great date, much to Emma's dismay since she was feeling particularly possessive last night.

'Hng.' Came the blonde's answer. She shoved half a bear claw in her mouth and followed it up with coffee.

Regina immediately noticed that she was in a mood. 'Darling, are you okay?' She smiled affectionately.

Emma ignored this and shrugged. Regina went to the coffee maker instead and poured herself a cup before sitting down and watching the blonde stew. She knew exactly what this was about but Regina knew better than to speak first. Henry came in the room next, oblivious to the sudden tension.

'Hey moms, good morning!' He said cheerfully.

Regina raised an eyebrow. Too cheerfully. 'Good morning, dear.'

'What's for breakfast?' He opened the fridge and grabbed the orange juice.

'What do you want?'

'Blueberry pancake and bacon!' This got a knowing glance from Regina and he quickly cowered. 'Turkey bacon. Love you, mom.'

'Mhmm.' She stood up and got the things ready for cooking. Emma was still working on her bear claw. Something she bought yesterday from Granny's. She put the pan away with an evil smirk. 'Henry, get dressed. We're going to Granny's instead.'

'Yes! Hot chocolate, hot chocolate-okay, water. Love you, mom.' He kissed Regina on the cheek just before he dashed out of the room.

Emma stood up as well.

'Are you coming with us?'

'Are you kidding?' No.'

Emma aimed for the door but Regina blocked her path. 'And just why not, Miss Swan?' She even cocked her hands on her hips to get the full effect. She maybe wearing a slinky robe but Regina was born intimidating, the effect was still achieved.

'Because your girlfriend is there.'

There it was. Emma said the words with such disdain and hurt that Regina couldn't help but flinch. 'So, you're still upset about the Ruby thing.'

Ruby asked her out on a date last night and Regina said yes. She didn't want to of course but Emma acted so childishly about it that Ruby wondered if something was going on between them. The wolf was a notorious gossip and her getting wind of what they are was not ideal. Emma was falling in love with her and the whole town knowing might put a stop to that. If not, then her parents definitely would.

'No, I'm ecstatic.' She said with the fakest smile she could manage. 'You ask me out on a date and you land with Ruby instead. I'm so happy right now.' Emma walked to the sink. The coffee has gone cold now so she just threw it down the drain. 'Goddamn, Ruby and her goddamn flowers. I can buy flowers too.' She grumbled.

'Are you even going to look at me?'

Emma didn't move and just stuck her pupils behind the lids as long as she can.

'If you're not even gonna look at me, I guess I'd have to enjoy my date with Ruby later.'

Emma whirled around and looked crushed.

'I'm only kidding, Emma.'

'That is not funny, Regina. Don't even joke about that, please.' She looked like someone kicked her puppy. Or someone kicked her because she was the puppy.

'Darling, I thought you were okay with this?' She didn't want to blame Emma but this was totally her fault. Regina already had a polite decline in her mind when Emma screamed and stomped like a toddler. The tantrum continued after Ruby left and she consoled Emma with getting a little physical. She was pretty sure Emma got to second base.

Emma sighed. 'I'm jealous.' She said bravely. 'And sad that I can't go out with you on a date like you and Ruby. As much as I love yanking your chain, babe, I want to be all sweet to you.' She looked up at the Mayor, who was looking at her with kind eyes. 'I want to hold your hand, I want to kiss you when you're not looking, maybe watch your ass as you walk a little further from me.'

Regina chuckled.

Her shoulders slumped. 'What if she kisses you good night? I might die, Regina. I might die.'

'I will never let that happen. You know I only want you.' Proving her statement, she draped her arms on the shapely shoulders and leaned in to kiss her nose. Emma predictably scrunched her face and she thought it was the cutest thing.

'I don't even think I can take if you even held her hands, Regina. I'm not usually a jealous person but I feel so strongly for you. You know that, right?'

'I do, Emma. I do. It's sweet that you want to be sweet to be. Here I thought you only wanted me for my body.'

Emma laughed a little harder than socially acceptable. 'Oh, trust me, baby. I want you for your body.' She punctuated with grabbing Regina's ass and squeezing a good amount. Regina didn't shy away from this like she usually does and Emma took advantage. She turned both of them and backed Regina against the counter. 'If Ruby gets a little handsy like this, I won't be responsible for her injuries, you know? You already know how strong I punch.'

'Yes, but Ruby is a werewolf, dear. They scratch.'

'I will fucking fight for you, Regina. We did not come this far for me to just let you go. You're my true love. You're pretty much stuck with me forever.'

Regina's heart pitter-pattered. Emma can be loud and annoying but can be incredibly sweet as well. The kind of sweet that's also incredibly hot. The kind that will destroy your panties if you're not careful. Thankfully, Regina wasn't wearing any. 'Jealous Emma maybe so hot but you don't have to be worried. I only want your hands on me.' Regina whispered seductively.

'Like...this?' Emma's hand came up to the brunette's torso and laid it on her breast.

Now, Regina's sure Emma got to second base. She was wearing a thin pajama and a tied robe but if Emma did it right, she could probably feel a nipple stand to attention. 'Yes, just like that.'

Emma was thrilled. She squeezed said breast a couple times, the intensity heightening with every pass. 'Do you like that?'

'Yes.' Regina husked. 'You're the only one I want, Emma. This thing with Ruby is a farce. Just something I have to do to keep what we have under wraps. I want you.' Regina kissed Emma's forehead. 'You.' Left cheek. 'You.' Right cheek. She paused and looked deep into the darkened greens before giving her a very quick kiss on the lips. It didn't last more than a second but the feel of Emma's lips against hers was already branded to her soul. Soft, petal-like, baby pink lips. There will be time for their big lip lock moment but Regina was glad she was able to kiss Emma now. 'You.'

Emma almost turned into a puddle. Regina just had a way with her. And her lips too. She licked hers to get a taste of the brunette's and was pleasantly surprised when she got a hint of sweet. She definitely wanted more. 'Kiss me again, babe. Please.'

Regina indulged her with a second brief kiss.

'Again!' She said like a kid on Christmas morning.

'Before I do that, say you're going to be okay with the date later. I promise I won't do anything to lead her on. It's nothing more than friends getting dinner.'

Emma nodded. 'I'm okay, promise.'

'I wanted our first kiss to be after a date but I can't seem to help myself with you.'

'It's not a first kiss if it doesn't have tongue. Everyone knows that.'

'Dear God...' Regina grabbed Emma's face and planted a strong kiss on her lips. It lasted more than she intended but before it went any further, she yanked herself off and watched the stunned look on the blonde's face. 'There.'

'Gross. Can we just go, moms?'

Regina winked at Emma. 'Get dressed, honey. Let's go see if my girlfriend can serve us some breakfast.'

'Not funny, Regina.'

They both got dressed while Henry grumbled on the kitchen waiting for them both. It didn't take Emma long since she just threw on the pants she wore yesterday and the first clean shirt she could grab. Regina took her usual extra half hour, making sure she was her level of presentable. She was all about being perfect in an uncharacteristically tight blouse and a pencil skirt that stopped just above her knee. Emma took in her appearance as soon as she was in full view.

'You sure look good for breakfast.' She said suspiciously.

Regina grabbed her keys and her wallet. 'Are you not enjoying this?'

'I am.. just.. I feel like someone else is going to enjoy it as well.'

They all filtered out the house and went to the garage. The usual battle of who's shotgun ensued between Emma and Henry but per usual, Emma won and Henry got a slap behind his head. They all buckled and Regina started driving to Granny's.

The place was packed but their table was empty as if Ruby predicted that they were coming. Emma's eyes turned into dangerous slits once she saw the werewolf spot them from afar. She sauntered over, with a notable extra swing on her hips and smiled brightly at the two of them. Obviously just at Regina and Henry. Emma's hand curled into a fist before she leaned back in the booth.

'Hi guys, what can I get you?'

Emma rolled her eyes.

'Good morning, dear. Can I get my usual?' Regina said tightly. She was trying not to be as flirty as she usually was with the leggy brunette. Emma's reactions were fairly obvious.

'Sure. Henry, your usual?'

'Yup.'

Finally, Ruby turned to Emma and smiled. 'Hi, Emma. Your usual?'

Emma didn't answer and just looked at her for a couple of seconds. Henry picked up on the tension and glanced back at her other mother mouthing 'What's happening?'. Regina just sighed.

Ruby's smile melted. 'So...'

'Her usual, dear. Thank you.'

The waitress nodded and got out of there before the claws came out.

'Mom, what just happened?'

'Ruby asked me out on a date last night.'

Henry's mouth dropped and he giggled. The giggle turned into a cough when her blonde mother sent daggers her way. 'So, that's what's up. Did you say yes, Mom? Is that why Emma's been silent? She's jealous?'

'Yes. Even after I've already told her that she had nothing to worry about. I was even kissing her earlier to prove it but she seems to have forgotten.' Regina crossed her arms.

'Wait. If you both already kissed, does that mean Emma can still turn into a ladybug? Cause that was a true love's kiss.'

Emma's bad mood evaporated and she sat up quickly. 'Do you think that's true, babe?'

'No. The dust has an exact way of being cured. You can still turn into an adorable ladybug, my dear.' Regina shook Henry's hair before turning to Emma again. 'Can you please control yourself with Ruby? If she gets any more suspicious, I might actually have to date her. I already told you, blondes are more my type. You are not in a competition, alright?'

'Fine. Fine. Okay. I'm sorry. I know it's annoying now.' Emma looked up when she saw someone coming to their table. Walking towards them was Belle, smiling and almost skipping. That's Emma proof right there that she really was a fairy tale character. The one thing she can't explain is her Australian accent. That really seemed like somewhat of a stretch. 'Hey, Belle...'

Belle stood in front of the table. 'Good morning, all.'

They returned the greeting in kind, especially Henry who was practically vibrating in his seat. Emma chuckled at how dorky he looked at the moment. 'What's up?'

'Emma, can I talk to you for a minute?'

Regina's eyebrow raised and Emma was a little surprised. 'Uh, sure. What is it?'

Belle eyed all the two other people at the booth before speaking. 'I would prefer to do it in private, please.' She touched Emma's hand and squeezed it. Regina's eyes turned wide and she was barely able to stop her jaw from dropping on the floor.

Emma got nervous and the laugh that she was about to let out turned into a cough. 'Wh...why..why would it be in private? Don't tell me you killed a dwarf or something...'

'No, I just... I don't think Regina will be interested in hearing this.'

Regina glowered. 'No, I'm very interested in hearing this. Come on, dear, you can tell whatever it is to all of us.' Belle was still holding Emma's hand and it was really ticking Regina off.

Belle ignored Regina's sour mood. 'Okay. Uh... I know this is sudden but I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?'

[x]

Emma watched Regina work away from across the room. Her stare always, always brought Regina's to hers so it was either she was typing a memo that will fire every single one of the city's employees or she was upset with Belle asking her out on a date. Regina was a lot better at hiding her emotions, she didn't stomp her foot but the blonde could tell that she was royally pissed. The bent cutlery after they left was a clear proof of that.

In her defense, Emma said no at first. She didn't see the point when Regina didn't act as childishly as he did but Belle wore her down. She made the entire restaurant know what she was doing and even tried to kneel in front of her, something she immediately put a stop to. She wasn't left with any choice. She didn't want to embarrass the brunette in front of the town. After she said yes, the entire room roused into applause and Belle kissed her on the cheek.

Their food was served after that and they all ate in silence. Emma was still recovering from her public courtship, Henry was pissed because of his insanely huge crush on Belle and Regina was pissed because Emma said yes. The silence stretched until they finished the meal and when they left. They went to their designated positions, Henry not even fighting for shotgun and went home. Emma watched as Henry went upstairs to get ready for school. Regina stayed on the bottom landing of the stairs, looking decisive and probably bursting with questions but went upstairs before she can say anything. Emma gave up and went to her room, taking a bath and making herself somewhat presentable.

They all operated out of muscle memory, doing things for quite a while now that they just knew what to do. Henry went out without a word and slammed the door of the car. This usually reaped a reprimand from her mother but she was still eerily quiet. The frost didn't thaw for a couple hours and after Emma looked at Regina for more than fifteen minutes without blinking, she's had enough of it. Emma strode across the room and leaned down on the imposing table.

'Regina.'

No answer. Not even a flinch of acknowledgment.

'Regina, look at me.'

Still nothing.

'I'll gouge my eyes out if you don't look at me.'

Regina only sighed, calling her bluff. Anything having to do with eyes freaked her out.

'I'm going to strip naked and masturbate in front of you if you don't pay attention to me.'

That made Regina look up. That's actually something that Emma would do. She raised her eyebrows as if challenging her to actually do it. Emma gave her her famous puppy dog eyes and pouted.

'You look stupid.'

Emma ignored that and went around the table, squeezing Regina's shoulders before leaning forward. 'I'm so sorry, baby.'

Regina shook her off. 'Don't call me baby.'

'Babe, I'm so sorry. I had to, okay?' She kissed Regina's cheek and drifted her lips down to the strong neck. 'Please don't be mad at me.' She continued kissing the neck until she felt Regina tilt her head up. She was giving way and Emma took advantage of that. The protruding collarbones were next, sucking the skin around it until she heard a tiny mewl from above her. She got a couple bites in before going back up and kept on the cheeks. 'I'm so sorry, baby. You know I only want to go on a date with you-'

'Then why did you?' Regina moved her chair away and her body from Emma so fast that she almost tumbled over. The Mayor stood up and crossed her arms like an armor around her body.

The perfect facade chipped away and Emma could now see just how much Regina was hurt from her saying yes. It reminded her of how she was acting just earlier and Emma barely stopped the chuckle that was forcing its way out of her. 'Regina, I didn't want to embarrass her. Belle asked me in the middle of Granny's. Had you been in my position, you would have said yes too.'

Regina's shoulder dropped. 'You don't... You don't like her, do you? Cause I-'

'No. Regina, what the hell? I don't like her.' She approached the brunette slowly as if she was an animal waiting to pounce.

'Do you think she's pretty?'

'Regina! What are you talking about?'

'She has beautiful eyes and she's cute as a button. Plus, that accent is somewhat hot, you have to admit.' Regina huffed and rolled her eyes. 'She looks good being a brunette and a blonde, what more could you want?'

'You.' She paused to let the statement settle. 'I only want you.' Emma finally made it and she curved her hands around the wrist to take her defenses down. She wrapped the hands around her body instead and she moved in Regina's space. 'I want you. Only you, okay? Belle's like a sister to me, baby. I'll let her down easy.' A long kiss was laid on the sharp cheeks and stayed there until she could finally feel Regina smile.

Regina tugged Emma to her and enjoyed the long kiss. 'I'm jealous.'

'For the same reasons, I was?'

Regina chuckled. 'Yes. Okay. I can see where you're coming from now.' She leaned back and pecked Emma's cheek as well. 'I want to make that grand gesture to you as well. I want to stand in a middle of a quad and scream just how much happy you make me. I'm jealous that Belle took that opportunity from me. If I do it, it will be under a cloud of what she did. She robbed me, Emma and I am outraged.' She hugged Emma tightly after and enjoyed the embrace.

'Are you going to stand in a quad and scream just how much I make you happy?'

'No.'

They both chuckled and got lost in the moment. It was a while before their laughter died down and they just stood there, still hugging. Regina took a deep breath and started thinking about all that's happened to them in the past few hours. Ruby asking her out, Belle asking her out... Regina's forehead furrowed when she thought of the timing. It's only a couple of hours away and seemed... staged. Like they both planned this. But why? Why would they ask them out on dates? Ruby she can understand but Belle? Belle isn't even gay.

Ruby and Belle.

Then Regina flashbacked to the first time they were ever together. Cleaning Rumple's shop. Then the dust. Surely Ruby has seen Emma in her ladybug form and Belle was the one that tipped her about the name. The puzzles slotted into a complete image and Regina had to curse.

'Son of a bitch.'

'Hey now. I know you don't like Snow but don't bad mouth her.'

Regina broke the hug. 'No, no. Emma, they know about us. Belle didn't ask you out on a date because she liked you. She asked you because she wanted to trap us.' The reasoning strengthened and she felt good that this thing was also a farce on their end as well. Her eyes got so big, something Emma has one called 'Crazy Eyes' and she nodded like a mad woman. 'Yes, I see it now. They did this just so they can get us to admit that something is happening between the two of us.'

Now, Emma crossed her arms and leaned back in annoyance. 'So Belle can't have a crush on me? Ruby is desperately in love with you and I'm justmmft-'

Regina shut her up with a kiss on the lips. 'Emma! Listen to me, they know!' She then went on to explain exactly how they knew and after Emma gasped.

'They know!'

'I told you. They think they are so slick messing with us. Us? Red Riding Hood and Belle, see she doesn't even have a bad ass fairy tale name, messes with the Evil Queen and the Saviour?' Regina grabbed her phone and dialed. 'I'm going to call her right now and tell her off-'

'Wait.' Emma closed her hands on Regina's.

'What?'

'They don't know that we know that they know.' Regina narrowed her eyes. 'So, let's act as if we actually want to go on the dates! And since you're the seductress, call Ruby and tell her that you can't wait until your date later. C'mon, c'mon. Think of it, the messers become the messees!'

'Emma, that doesn't make sense.'

'Just do it okay? Please, for me?' Emma clasped her hands and batted her eyes, like any good person who wanted to an ally to mess with her friends. Regina relented with a sigh and pressed call. Emma trembled like a wind-up toy as she waited for the call to be answered. 'Put it on speaker phone!' She harshly whispered.

'Would you calm down? Jesus...'

'Hey, you.' The cool voice of Ruby came over the line.

Regina cleared her throat before speaking. 'Ruby, I've been thinking about you all day.' Her voice already deep as it is, Regina sounded practically orgasmic as she put a little more drawl and smoke.

'Say what?'

Ruby sounded confused and Emma punched the air. 'I'm thankful you asked me out on a date. You've always intrigued me Ruby. Your...' Regina looked around and saw Emma pointing to her fingers. '...long fingers have always intrigued me. I've always wondered what you can do with them. Henry will be out of the house. Would you like to stay the night?'

Emma earlier would have had a heart attack at the thought of Regina and Ruby getting physical but at this one, she actually had to hold her middle section in laughter. Emma slapped her thigh a couple of times, wiping a stray tear that sprung from her eyes. The other line was quiet aside from sounds that said that Ruby was sputtering to answer.

'I'll uh... I'll have to get back to you on that.' The line promptly ended and Emma hooted.

'We got them, baby. We got them so good.' Regina didn't answer as she was still trying to wrap her brain around what was happening. 'But seriously, please don't have sex with Ruby.'

On the other side of town, Ruby was gobsmacked at the call she just received. Belle was pacing behind her and couldn't believe it either. 'Oh my god, she wants to come over and have sex with her!'

'I cannot believe she would do that to Emm- Wait, do you think they know we know?'

'Oh my god, they know we know!' Ruby scoffed. 'They thought they could mess with us? They're trying to mess with us?' She cocked her hands to her hips.

'They don't know that we know they know we know. Games' afoot. Go put a dinner order in later. We'll surprise them at home.'

Ruby smiled. 'Double date. Brilliant.'

[x]

'Mom, do you think you can give me ten doll- Woah. Why do you both look so good?'

It was already seven PM and Regina has just done the last swipe of her deep red lipstick and turned to her son. Emma was fluffing her hair and was arranging the plunging neckline of her tight dress. Both are dressed to kill, both looked amazing. They even had predatory looks on their faces, ready for anything.

Regina smiled at her son. 'I have a date with Ruby, remember? Emma has one with Belle as well.'

Henry's face soured. 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, Emma's got, Belle. I got it.' He stuck his tongue out in jazzed his hands in annoyance. He's been brooding all day about the fact that it was her mother Belle likes not him. He's aware that he was only a teenager but Emma was with Hook once and he was 300 years old. Up against that, the idea didn't seem as crazy.

'Henry, sweetheart, listen to me. Emma's date with Belle is fake.'

'What?'

'So is my date with Ruby. They both know that we were true loves and they're trying to trap us.' Regina went to her son and hugged him slightly.

Henry was almost teary eyed. 'Really?'

'Yes. So stop sulking, alright? You're not as cute anymore and it's getting really annoying. Okay, sweetie?'

He hugged back. 'Yes, mom. Do you think I have a chance with Belle? Maybe I should use some aftershave or-'

'Henry, no. You're not Belle's type. Now, get. Kathryn's going to pick you up in a couple minutes.'

Henry sighed before he got out. Regina went back to Emma and appraised the beauty that was in front of her. In a short, tight, black dress that laid as if second skin, she looked phenomenal. 'You look so good, Emma.'

Emma blushed. 'Thanks. You're not so bad yourself, Madame Mayor.' Regina opted for a fuchsia wrap dress that landed a couple inches above her knee. 'You look so hot in that. Can I unwrap you a little later? You know after we win?'

'If we win, I'll think about it.' Regina reached out and tugged Emma closer to her body. They both looked back as they heard the front door close loudly, alarming them to Henry's departure. No one was bothered however as they both knew Henry would get over it. 'I'm assuming you're gonna have your date at Lumiere? Mrs. Potts insisted I'm sure?'

'I think so. Belle really hasn't told me where we were going. Just told me to be ready by seven.' Emma squinted her eyes as she checked what time it is. 'It just turned seven. I wonder what they'll-'

The doorbell rang. Regina raised her eyebrow at Emma before breaking the contact and answering the door. She saw Ruby and Belle on her porch, looking decked out and holding a bag of Granny's take out. She could see Ruby's eyes appreciating what she's put on and so did Belle's to Emma. They know that they knew they knew. Regina's eyes narrowed for a little bit before she assumed the role of good hostess and potential fake girlfriend. 'Ruby, Belle, good evening.'

'Hi Regina, you look fantastic.' She leaned for a kiss on the cheek.

Regina only hoped Emma didn't have her mother's bow and arrow. 'You brought Belle to our date?'

'Well, Belle told me that she and Emma were going to be on a date as well so I figured, why don't we double date? Granny's is busy so I thought we could do it here? Is that okay, honey?' Ruby's term of endearment was thrown in to piss off Emma and she saw that it was effective.

'Sure.' The brunette said a little strained. She stepped back and showed the two in. Thankfully, the dining room was neat and ready for guests. One of the good things that can came out of Regina's anal retentiveness. Behind her, Belle sought Emma and half hugged her before kissing her on the cheeks as well.

Regina chuckled and it took all of what she had not to tackle Belle to the ground. She flipped the switch on and light flooded the pristine room. 'Ruby, dear, come with me and let's get the food ready.' Regina didn't want to leave Emma in Belle's company but she still wanted to win this game. At the end of it, Team Regina still didn't lose.

'Of course. Be right back. Emma, don't do anything I wouldn't do.' The wolf winked at Emma before following Regina to the kitchen. There she laid the bag of food at the counter. 'You really do look good, Regina. I'm honored that I get to see you in that outfit.'

Regina took a deep breath before turning to her, with fire in her eyes. She's going to win this even if it meant getting a little more physical with the leggy brunette. Emma will understand. The food was cold by the time the two got there so Regina transferred it to microwaveable containers before heating them up. 'Do you want wine while we wait?'

'Sure.' Ruby walked closer and grabbed the glass after Regina poured, making sure that their fingers touched. 'I hope you don't mind that I brought Belle. Don't worry she won't get in the way of us having sex tonight.'

Regina choked mid drink. She grabbed a paper towel and dotted the few sprays that left her nose. For sure, it wasn't sexy so she pulled from her Evil Queen persona and swallowed the remaining liquid in her mouth. 'Belle could watch for all I care. As long as I'll have you tonight, I'm good.'

'Oh, I think Emma will keep her company.' The connecting door was left open and they both could see how Belle was hanging on to Emma and how Emma was looking at the two of them. Ruby left the drink and came closer to Regina, circling her arms around her. 'Thank god I asked you out or I never would've known how strongly you felt about me. I want you in bed now.'

Regina started to feel small beads of perspiration on her forehead. There was no tremble in Ruby's performance and she was really laying it on thick. She shook the doubt away and focused on the lithe body wrapped around her. 'When you say things like that, it makes me want to rip that dress off of you.' She slinked her hands downwards and grabbed a handful of Ruby's ass. To her credit, they were mighty toned.

The microwave dinged but it went unnoticed.

'Oh god... Regina...'

For the first time, Ruby's stance wobbled and Regina saw an opportunity. She squeezed again and Ruby moaned. It might have been real since their bodies were actually rubbing but Regina didn't dare to find out. The win was so close, Regina could feel it. She heightened up the pressure with kissing Ruby's neck.

'Regina, Regina, wait-'

A triumphant smile appeared on her face and she continued.

'Regina, Regina-'

'Why don't we move this to the bedroom?' Ruby gasped and Regina rejoiced. This was better than that time Regina defeated Zelena. She pressed on the silence. 'What? Don't you want to, baby?'

'No, no, I just... you know first, take off all my clothes and have you rub lotion on me.' Ruby started to fight back by grabbing Regina's hips and palming it.

'Well, that would be n-nice...' Regina thought of Ruby in her wolf form and the lotion and just got sick for a second. 'I'm so happy we're going to have sex.'

'You should be, I'm very bendy.' Ruby leaned back away from Regina's lips so that she can saw her next statement. 'I'm gonna kiss you now.'

Regina slightly panicked. Number 1, this would kill Emma. Number 2, Ruby looks like she has nice lips but she really, really, didn't want to kiss her. Still, she kept at it and downed her fears with a swallow. 'Not if I kiss you first.' The earlier seductress turned into an awkward teenager under the threat of the impending kiss. Her hands left Ruby's ass and transferred to her back and the other transferring to her shoulder. Ruby retaliated with the same hand placement and it looked as if they're going to break into a dance. 'So, I guess there's nothing left for us to do but to kiss.' Ruby looked as uncomfortable as she was and it brought her some comfort.

'Here it comes. Our first kiss.'

Their heads slowly but woodenly got closer and their lips puckered. The lead up was not sexy at all and Henry's first kiss would probably look better. Ruby was hesitating to meet Regina's lips and the same can be said for the Mayor. After what felt like an eternity, their lips finally met and their faces didn't hide the disgust they felt. The clock ticked and by the third chime, Emma came bounding to the room and yanked the wolf off of Regina.

'Alright, alright Ruby, you win! Get off of her!'

Regina quickly wiped her lips, taking some of her lipstick away. 'Ugh... I can't have sex with you.'

Ruby looked smug. 'And why not?'

Regina rolled her eyes. 'Because-'

'Because I'm in love with Regina!'

Suddenly, the world stopped spinning.

'Oh my god...' Ruby's mouth dropped open and she put two of her hands to cover it.

'That's right, I love her. I love her! And I think she loves me too so you no. Nope. No. No. No.'

All the while, Regina just looked at Emma with awe. Yes, Emma has said before that she was falling in love with her but the three words solidified that and her heart almost burst with happiness. Emma loves her. It wasn't a will she won't she anymore, Emma Swan was in love with her. She saw Belle coming in and smiling over them winning over Team Regina but she didn't care. Right now, all that her mind can think of was what Emma told her. Her feet starting working and before she knew it, Regina was in front of Emma already.

'I am so gonna get you for this, Ruby. I swear to God, you kissed my woman! My-Regina?'

Regina's answer was to kiss her hard on the lips. The three-second kisses that they had were gone and were blown out of the water. Her hands threaded to the blonde locks and she tugged Emma's body closer to her until she didn't know where she started and where Emma ended. She felt Emma's arms envelop her and she opened her mouth. Emma's taste was so uniquely hers and Regina found that it was something that she wanted to have for the rest of her life. Their tongues tangled and massaged each other. It was as if they were both electrically charged that every meeting made them spark.

Emma pulled Regina tighter as she angled her head. She was drowning in everything Regina, sending her senses into overload. Never has been kissed like this before and she made sure to give as good as she got. She was confident in her skills and the whimper that she got out of Regina as she pushed her tongue on the roof of her mouth made her proud. Regina was sagging in her hold, her knees were weakening.

They both broke for a quick in take of air, lips hovering before diving back in again. They indulged themselves fully and kissed as much as they wanted to. Touched as much as she wanted to. Regina was usually the one who pulls back but at this moment, she didn't. She was fueled by the love coming from Emma that she found it hard to stop. That is until she felt her breathing constricting. She slowed down the kiss and ended it with three pecks before separating from the blonde. 'Emma, I-'

'Damn, that was hot.' Ruby was leaning back on the counter and was already munching on the food they bought. Belle giggled as she popped a chicken ball in her mouth. 'No, no, don't stop on our account. We're fine watching.'

Emma kissed Regina quickly. 'As much as I want to get rid of them, babe. I'm kind of hungry. Do you mind if we revisit this later?'

'Go to my room later. I want to kiss you as much as I can.' Regina ended her sentence with another passion filled kiss.

'Oh, I will. I wouldn't miss that for the world.'
