Emma pulled nervously on the light pink dress she was wearing. It had been a while since she had gotten dressed up. Even longer since she had been on a date. They had arrived back in Storybrooke last night, and after a large meal at Granny's all retired back to their respective homes. Henry spent last night with Emma and is currently spending the night at Regina's. Emma walked down the stairs, where Mary Margaret and David were sat.
"Oh Emma!" Mary Margaret gasped. "You look beautiful."
"It's not too much. Right?" She asked, looking down at her dress.
"Maybe a jacket." David said loudly, frowning at the amount of skin on display.
"David hush. You look amazing." Mary Margaret stood, grabbing David's phone that was on the side. "Smile!"
"What. No." Emma whined. "This isn't my first date."
"It's your first date that we are part of." Mary Margaret snapped a photo. Emma groaned.
"So need to get my own place." She muttered as there was a knock on the door.
"No!" Emma said sternly as David stood up. "I'll be back later."
"11."
"I'm 29." She called behind her. She opened the door. "Hi." She grinned. "Bye." She called behind her and shut the door.
"Sorry." She smiled at Killian. "I've just saved you from a dad talk."
Killian laughed. "Well thank you." He bit his lip as he took her in. "You look beautiful."
Emma blushed and smiled. "Well, you clean up well yourself." She noted he no longer wore his pirate clothes, going for black jeans, and a navy shirt. She couldn't help but smile at the leather jacket.
Of course a leather jacket.
"I brought you this." He held out a single red rose. Emma melted slightly as she took it.
"You didn't have to." She said softly.
"I wanted to." Killian shrugged nervously. Emma glanced behind her. "I'll be right back." She kissed his cheek before rushing back into the apartment.
"Hi." She called, rushing to the kitchen and grabbing a glass filling it with water, and putting the rose in. "Bye!" She called again before David could get to the door.
"Where are we going?" Emma asked as they walked towards the dock. Part of her wished she had taken David's advice and wore a jacket, the air had a slight chill to the air.
"You'll see." He grinned as he got to the Jolly Roger.
"Your ship?" Emma raised an eyebrow. Killian laughed.
"My ship." He said as he took her hand, leading her onto the ship.
"Oh my…. Killian." Emma breathed, heart-stopping as she took in the main deck of the Jolly Roger. A number of lit candles covered the deck, a large picnic blanket spread out covered with food.
"I was going to take you to a restaurant," Killian admitted as he pulled her over to the blanket. "But I wanted you all to myself."
"I love it." Emma breathed, feeling tears prick her eyes. "No one has ever done anything like this for me." She turned to face him, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him soundly. Killian arms coming round her waist.
"We have food." Killian pointed out, pulling away.
"Is said food hot?" She asked. Killian shook his head frowning.
"Then it can wait." She said pulling him forward again. Killian laughed, grinning into the kiss as he kissed her back. Emma stumbled backward, her back hitting the main mast as her fingers tangled in his hair.
"Your bloody amazing, Swan." He murmured against her lips, trailing his hook down her side. Emma let out a soft moan, arching into his touch. He began to kiss down her neck.
"Maybe we should actually eat before moving on to dessert?" He whispered against her neck. Emma laughed. Nodding slightly as she pushed him back.
"Now is that a promise?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Aye, it is love." He took her hand. Emma sat on the blanket.
"It's beautiful." Emma hummed softly, the candlelight causing an orange glow. Killian passed her a glass of red wine.
"No Rum?" She teased.
"Thought red wine was more romantic."
Emma nodded. Taking a deep sip of her drink.
"I wasn't sure what you'd like to eat…" Killian said unsurely. Motioning to a selection of sandwiches and fruit. Emma shook her head.
"It's perfect." She smiled taking a sandwich closest to her. They ate in relative silence, but unlike most dates, the silence wasn't awkward. It just hung in the air.
Emma laughed as her eyes landed on a strawberry.
"Really?" Killian smirked at her and held his hands up innocently.
"What?"
"You know what. I'm sure in your realm strawberries are still sexy fruit."
Killian laughed loudly. "Sexy fruit?"
Emma nodded, plucking one and holding it to Killian's lips. His eyes darkened as he slowly bit into it, his teeth grazing her fingers.
"See?" She breathed softly. "Sexy fruit."
"My turn." He held up a strawberry to her, she bent over slightly, keeping eye contact as she bit into the sweet fruit, juice dripping down her chin, her hand moved to wipe it but Killian's hand stopped her.
"Allow me?" He asked quietly, shifting forward so he was closer. Too close. Emma nodded slowly. Killian licked the juice and lunged forward to kiss her desperately. Emma clawed at his jacket. This was it, they were alone, no interruptions. Just them.
Emma fell back pulling Killian with her, him settling between her legs. She hadn't worn a dress in a long time, and not wearing tights meant that he was right there, pressed against her. She moaned into his mouth.
"Killian. Please."
Killian groaned in reply, the cold metal of his hook causing goosebumps as he trailed it up her leg.
"I want to memorise you." He breathed as he kissed down her neck. "I want to know what you like… what you want." His hook found her panties and pulled them down with ease, Emma lifting her hips slightly.
"Any other day I would really want that." Emma panted. "But I really need you inside me. Like yesterday." She grabbed his hair, tugging him back to her lips as her hands fumbled with his jeans, pulling them down and grasping his cock in hand, causing Killains hips to rock before gaining control.
"You are unbelievable." Killian gasped into her mouth. "But two can play this game." His fingers moved down her stomach, slipping inside her and causing her to let out a loud whimper.
"Oh god…" she panted, her hand tightening on Killian as she ground her hips into him, which caused Killian to move faster.
"Killian. Fuck me." Emma begged. Letting go of him and wrapping her legs around his waist.
"As you wish." Killian tried to sound smooth but his voice sounded wreaked as he lined up, pushing himself smoothly into her. Emma gasped and gripped his arms tightly. Killian forced himself to stay still. Letting Emma adjust to him inside her.
"Move. Fuck move." Emma breathed after several long seconds. That's all Killian needed before slamming his hips into her, Emma kissed him messily, trying to keep from crying out, they were technically in public still. Killian scrambled up, pulling Emma with him as he moved to his knees, Emma's legs wrapped around them. Emma moaned as this new position caused him to thrust deeper. Emma's head fell back, Killian taking the opportunity to ravish her neck.
Emma bucked down into him as her hands gripped his arms tightly.
"Killian." She breathed, feeling the oncoming wave of pleasure as she felt herself climbing. About to fall off a cliff into nothingness.
"Emma." Killian pulled her back to his lips, rocking his hips before letting out a low moan as he spilled inside her. Emma let out a cry as she too reached her end, body spasming as she rode through her orgasm, her whole body feeling weightless.
Killian slowly pulled away, gently kissing Emma as they both collapsed onto the blanket. Killian twisted away from her for a moment before pulling another blanket out to cover them both as Emma caught her breath.
"That was…"
"Yeah," Emma said quietly, hating how her mind was now betraying her, her walls shooting back up with a force that made Emma panic. What was she doing? She's going to get hurt. Emma bit her lip as she tried to calm down. She couldn't ruin this moment. She was… happy? Wasn't she? Why was her body screaming at her to run?
"See that?" Killian jolted her out of her freak out, Emma glanced over, he was pointing to the sky. "That cluster of stars, that's Orion, the three stars there, that means that way is east, due to the time that is."
Killian began pointing out all of the constellations he could see, explaining how he uses them to navigate the ocean. Emma didn't know much about stars and listened with interest, not even realising that she had shifted so her head was on Killian's chest, the low rumble of his voice drowning out any fear until all she was focused on was the beautiful sky above them.
"Better?" Killian asked an hour later, after exhausting all the stars he could see. Emma looked up at him.
"You knew?" She asked, she had hoped that her freaking out had gone unnoticed.
Killian laughed, stroking the blunt end of his hook up her arm.
"It was pretty obvious." He looked up at the stars. "I… I know you have this armor you put on." He said carefully, feeling Emma tense in his arms.
"But, just so you know, I'm not going anywhere," Killian said quietly. "This is it for me. I know you are not there yet and that is fine. But when you are. I'm ready too. We go at your pace, I'm a very patient man."
Emma nodded, surprised that his words were causing her heart to race, and not in a bad way.
"I… You're right." She said softly. "Thank you, for distracting my brain."
"I'm surprised my brain was even working." Killian laughed. "That was an incredible evening Swan."
Emma nodded in agreement. It really was.
"Do we need to get you back? Before your father kills me?"
"What time is it?" She asked sitting up slightly.
"It's…" He glanced up. Eyes widening. "Half 12."
"Shit. Yeah, should head back." She stood, her legs still feeling like jelly as she picked her underwear up.
"I broke a rule huh?'
"Did you?" Killian asked as he too stood, making sure he looked halfway presentable.
"I don't normally pillage and plunder on a first date."
"I did say you haven't been out with me. And considering all of the times we nearly did before this date, I think it was inevitable don't you?"
Emma laughed and took his hand. "It was." She agreed as Killian wrapped his jacket around her shoulders to keep her warm.
As it was so late the streets were empty on the walk back to the apartment. However Emma had a sinking feeling that they were being watched, she glanced back a couple of times but she couldn't see anyone. It must be because it's late.
"I won't come in love, it's too late. But I will see you tomorrow?" He asked hopefully.
Emma smiled "Tomorrow." She agreed, moving forward to kiss him, a loud bang jolting them apart.
"Probably some animal," Killian said after a long moment of looking into the darkness. Emma nodded, kissing his cheek lightly.
"Good night Killian."
"Good night Emma."
Emma smiled wildly as her back hit the door. Covering her smile with her hand.
"How was it?"
Emma jumped, spinning to see both her parents still sat on the Sofa.
"You guys are still up." She said slowly, trying to get her smile under control.
"I thought we said 11." David frowned glancing at the time.
"I'm 29 years old." Emma reminded them.
"What restaurant is still open now?" David asked, Emma, rolled her eyes. He was trying to get information.
"We didn't go to a restaurant," Emma said carefully.
"What did you do? Did you have some food, was there a goodnight kiss?"
"And I really need my own place," Emma grumbled, trying to hide a blush on her cheeks. If only they knew.
"Good night guys."
"Oh and Emma?"
"Yes, David?"
"You're still wearing Hook's coat."
Emma looked down, yes she was.
"I'll give it to him in the morning." She shrugged, however a deep thrill run through her, she grinned widely before running up the stairs.
"She looks happy."
"I guess he has changed."
"And I can still hear you!"
Killian was walking on air, he'd realised as soon as he began walking that his coat was still in Emma's arms, not that he minded, when he got it back tomorrow it would smell of her.
Killian didn't think he would ever find love After Milah, and here came in Emma Swan, a fiery beautiful tempting siren. He felt a pang of guilt, he hadn't thought of Milah since the first kiss Emma and Killian shared back in Neverland. All thoughts consumed by green eyes.
He was halfway back to the ship when the hairs on his neck stood on end. He paused.
"You can come out now Bae."
He had guessed that they were not alone earlier, but not wanting to worry Emma he brushed it off. The silent air almost made him question if he was correct.
"Hook."
Killian turned, Baelfire stood in front of him.
"Good date?"
"Amazing date." Killian smiled. "Emma's amazing isn't she? Only a fool would let her go."
"I had to let her go!'
"You could have found a way. There's always away."
"Look, I understand you like her, but I'd appreciate it if you back off." Neal stepped towards him, anger clear on his face.
Killian raised a brow. "Sorry, Bae. I'm sticking around as long as Emma wants me."
"She's mine! We share a kid together…"
"Swan isn't property mate. She can make her own decisions."
"You already stole my mother." Killian's heart pulled at the mention of his lost love.
"I didn't steal her. Your father couldn't give her what she wanted." Killian said quietly. "We were going to come back to you."
"Bullshit. You stole my mum now you're trying to steal Emma." Neal shouted, stepping towards him.
"I'm warning you. Leave Emma alone. You've had your cheap fuck. You got it out of your system. Now leave her alone."
Hooks eyes darkened, Neal had seen everything. He stepped up to him. "And I'm warning you mate." He said softly, his voice dark and powerful. "If you touch Emma again… I'll make you pay for it." He laughed as Neal froze.
"That's right, I was there yesterday when you kissed a sleeping woman… looked at her body without her knowledge." Hook smirked. "Who do you think took her shirt off?" Killian ducked as Neal threw a punch. Grabbing his arm and folding it behind his back.
"Let go of me." Neal struggled. Killian kept his grip firm.
"I don't want to hurt you Bae. But don't threaten the person I love." Killian was shocked at how easily the words left his lips.
He was in love with Emma Swan.
His fingers let go of Neal who glared at him before stalking off.
Killian watched him go, he should be worried. He wasn't.
He was in love.
