As a reward I wrote another chapter. I let you wait for so long so you deserve two chapters now. Enjoy.


Emma was standing in the bathroom which belonged to Henry's room. She was staring at her reflection in the mirror and couldn't believe what she was about to do. Yesterday she agreed to Regina's terms and accepted her request of spending one night with her. Her heart was hurting and she couldn't stop shaking everytime she thought about the night. An hour ago she received a text message from Regina saying that she should get ready for their „date". Now she felt like her body froze and wasn't able to even move. She managed to take a shower, to brush her teeth and take on a dress she brought to the hospital the day when they arrived. In only few minutes Regina will come to pick her up and take her to who the hell knew where. There was one thing that hasn't come to her mind before. What if they end up in bed together somewhere .. in a hotel room or in Regina's flat and she would have to take off her clothes? Her body hasn't healed properly yet and was still covered with scars from the car accident. Emma was always satisfied with her body, with the way she looked like but now she felt uncertain. Her worries made her feel sick. She touched her neck where one of the scares could be seen. Closing her eyes she remembered the time when her car broke and locked her inside almost killing her. She also couldn't get the image of Regina being disappointed by the way her body is not somehow perfect. Regina was a perfectionist and according to how she behaved Emma knew that Regina liked perfection. What if her appearance will ruin the evening and she will lose her interest in Emma? Will it be the real end for Henry? Will it stop Regina from giving him the needed funds for his treatment? Now there wasn't only her own life and pride at stake, there was also Henry's future threatened. If only she could erase the scars from her skin to look more appealing.

Her fingers went through her hair making it look messy. She took a comb and brushed her hair into a ponytail which suited her well. Her curly hair looking great in this hair style. She smiled at her reflection, silently speaking to herself the words of assurance, that everything will be just fine.

Emma walked to Henry's bed to hug him and give him a goodnight kiss. When Henry asked where she was going so late in the evening she told him that she needed to do something in order to get more money for his treatment. Thank god he didn't ask questions and just accepted this explanation as satisfactory. When Emma's phone rang she knew it was time to go. Regina was at the parking lot waiting for her and she better not let her wait longer than necessary.

„Good night, Henry," Emma said when closing the door to his room.

„Have a great evening, mom," Henry answered waving a goodbye at his mother. Emma smiled and finally closed the door. She didn't want to go, she would rather spend another sleepless night by Henry's side than to go on a date with the brunette not knowing what was going to happen. Being held in unknown wasn't her favourite thing to do. She preferred knowing what she was going into.

Emma left the hospital building and went to Regina's car. The brunette was sitting in the driver's seat, her eyes following Emma's every step. She appreciated the dress Emma was wearing. The skirt covered Emma's thighs so the rest of her legs was visible. And Emma's legs were firm, long and nice. Regina licked her lips at the sight. This woman was going to be hers soon, she couldn't wait. She had to control her desire not to show Emma how invested she was in her. She needed to be careful. Emma reached the car. Regina nodded and the blond woman opened the door and got in the car. She made herself comfortable in the passenger seat her hand searching for the belt.

„Good evening, miss Swan," Regina greeted her companion for this evening starting the engine of her car.

„Good evening," Emma answered, her voice shaking. She was glad that she could actually say something. She was nervous. Her eyes checked Regina's appearance without her noticing making her swallow hard. She looked great. Wearing a red dress that firmly copied her body showing every little detail and curve of her figure. The end of the skirt was above Regina's knees and when Emma saw the woman's legs, she had to push her arousal down. Her eyes closed and the thoughts about her scars came back. She took a deep breath trying to push the images out of her mind.

„Is something wrong, miss Swan?"Regina asked noticing how uneasy Emma felt.

„I am fine," Emma answered simply.

„Where are we going?" she needed to know what to expect, where they were going, what was going to happen.

„To my apartment," Regina answered not giving Emma any details.

„Ok," Emma said her hands hugging tightly her body as if she tried to support herself and protect her body from falling apart. Closing her eyes she made a wish that this night was already over.

„I ordered some food for us," Regina wanted to keep up the conversation. She preferred talking while driving. „I hope you are ok with Chinese food."

„I love Chinese but I haven't had it for a long time. Henry's condition didn't allow us to have anything spicy," Emma answered feeling a little bit at ease now. It looked like they were just two friends sharing a drive talking about random things to stay entertained.

„Good," Regina answered looking for some other topic to discuss. It was always safe to talk about Henry and his improving condition.

„Henry is doing much better now. I think that he survived the worst and now it's going to get better," she said smiling slightly at the thought that another children will get better thanks to her and her care. Yes, she liked toying with Emma but Henry was her main priority when it came to treating sick children. She loved being the saviour, the hero of the day. Now when she thought about Henry getting better she realized that when he was good enough he and Emma would leave the hospital. She would lose the contact with them. At that thought she felt the feeling of missing someone. This was dangerous. She felt as if she couldn't bare the image of not seeing Emma everyday in the hospital. She couldn't stand the feeling of watching Henry stepping into the elevator and waving her goodbye giving her his last smile. Her feelings have changed, she knew it but she had no idea how much they have changed until now.

„Yes, he is doing much better .. thanks to you," Emma couldn't help it. She had to say it out loud because no matter how she felt right now, she had so much to thank Regina for.

„I am glad I could help, really," Regina smiled while parking her car in front of a luxurious looking building.

„Here we are, this is where I live," she said pointing her finger in the direction of one of the buildings where probably the richest people in Boston lived.

„Wow, do you rent these to the president? It looks like kings and queens live here," Emma gasped at the sight.

„I could live with you calling me the queen," Regina winked at Emma and stepped out the car. She waited for Emma to join her before she locked her Mercedes.

„Shall we?" Regina said showing Emma the direction towards the building. Their shoes clapped simultaneously as they were walking side by side to the building where everything was about to change.

When they reached the door, Regina took her keys out her purse. Emma rose her head to meet Regina's brown eyes and caught her hand. She needed to look Regina in the eyes to see what she was up to. She believed that eyes could tell a lot. Regina was surprised by Emma's reaction and her eyes widened.

„What's wrong?" Regina asked lowering her eyes to Emma's hand on hers. She had a strong grasp but it was somehow gentle.

„I am not sure what we are doing," Emma whispered letting go of Regina's hand. Trying to see in the brunette's eyes some hidden agenda, she focused more but found nothing. Regina was good at this. She had experience and knew how to hide her feelings and intentions.

„Would you rather if we didn't do this? Are you sure you would find a different way to pay me back the money I gave you? I asked only for one night in your company. Is it too much to ask?" Regina was almost furious. She looked forward to spending time with the blond woman and she was now on the way to back out of this. This is how people treat Regina. She is used to people obeying her requests not running away.

„Just one night, you say? You promise?" Emma needed to be sure that this wasn't going to become something like Regina's habit. She wouldn't want to end up being a whore to her. She was about to surrender to this woman not being kept as entertainment for money.

„Yes, one night only," Regina said firmly and closed the distance between them, pressing her body against Emma's. She leaned in so their lips were almost touching. Emma stopped breathing. She felt Regina's breath on the skin of her lips. It made her feel dizzy. This woman knew her ways, she knew how to use her sex appeal to literally immobilize someone. Emma wasn't able to move. She felt like her muscles forgot the basic skill. Was she under a spell? Under a spell called Regina Mills? Regina's upper lip brushed against Emma's lower lip sending shivers all over Emma's body. Everything inside her was screaming for more but her mind stopped her from pressing her lips against Regina's to connect in a full kiss. She fought against her desires feeling victorious but not for long. Even thought Emma resisted Regina didn't.

„Unless you ask for more," she brushed her lips against Emma's again sending another wave of shivers through her body.

„Shall we go inside?" Regina whispered against Emma's soft lips kissing them lightly.

„Yes," Emma agreed completely drunk from the soft touch of the brunette's lips on hers.

Regina took Emma's hand pulling her inside the building.
