Here you are my lovelies! It took me FOREVER and is 3x as long as the other chapters I've posted because I feel bad about making you wait so long for the next one. You can repay me by reading the announcement at the end. Like always I want your opinion cause you're the ones reading it, not me.

*Warning (kind of)* : This one is slightly more graphic but not by much. Just wanted you to know. AND I love you all for how much you absolutely hate Neal. Literally every response I got wanted him dead and I just love you guys for it.

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN OUAT. We've been through this several times now.

"What is your name, boy?" Regina asked, putting emphasis on boy, for her own amusement. The man looked up as he answered.

"Neal. My name's Neal."

"Well, Neal, need I remind you that you're entered my kingdom, and have been living on my land. Yet you have the audacity, to speak to me like that? Tsk tsk tsk. Now answer me. Why have you come to my kingdom?"

Regina had her hands clasped behind her back while she walked in a circle around him, as if floating, while she spoke.

"I'm not from anywhere specific, your Majesty. I'm more of a nomad. I've come because I find that it is time to settle down somewhere." He spoke low, keeping his head down. At least he's learning. Regina thought.

"Be that as it may, I want to know why you've chosen my kingdom. Why you've chosen to pledge your allegiance with me." Regina did not trust this man. But she might be able to use him if she's able to get the right information out of him.

"Rumors have gone around to several kingdoms saying your guard are the most well-trained, and most feared. I thought that if I were to pick one then here is the best option." The man's head remained down, hands flat on the floor in front of him. He knew he already screwed up with the White Knight, he really didn't want to with the queen herself too.

"Well I'm glad people are aware of the power my kingdom holds and that you've chosen to be a knight here but I still don't believe you. What are you not telling me?" Regina stopped in front of him again, her feet a hairs length away from his fingertips. Neal's hands started to break out in to sweats. He can't tell her why he's really here. He was supposed to lay low and now he's in the freaking spotlight. If she knows Snow sent me she will kill me on the spot. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a crunch followed by pain racing down his arm. He then realized the Savior had smashed the hilt of her sword onto his hand. He noticed the queen had moved back a few steps, a smirk gracing her face. The White Knight crouched down so she was face to face with him. He couldn't help marvel at the woman's beauty and tried his damnedest not to check her out head to toe.

"Either you will answer her, or you will be made an example of. Do not make the mistake of testing my patients because you will lose. Got it?" Neal nodded frantically. When she stood, he took his opportunity to ogle her. By gods, what I wouldn't do to have that. If I had her alone for just a minute, she would be beg- His eyes lingered longer than he had meant to and the next thing he knew his body felt like it was being set on fire. He let out an excruciating scream making everybody in the room flinch.

Emma's head napped up towards her wife, brows furrowing in confusion. Without knowing, while Emma was was threatening Neal Regina had taken her chance to read his thoughts. She could only do it for seconds at a time but what she did hear, made her quake with rage. She held her hand up, moving it like she was turning a knob. Neal's screams got louder before she dropped her hand.

"How DARE you! You really must be a fool if you think I will sit back and do nothing while you think of my wife in that manner. She is mine, and mine alone." Regina was fuming. How dare he think of my wife?! She is mine and nobody else's! Regina was seeing red. Her thoughts murderous. Emma finally understood what was happening. Regina had read Neal's mind. She knew her wife was reluctant to do it because it always took so much energy out of her and she could only hear for a few seconds at a time. Emma closed her eyes, pushing some of her magic to Regina via their bond. They had found out they were able to do this without touching after they had first made love.

Regina felt Emma probing her with her magic. She gave her a quick grateful glance before turning back to the pathetic man in front of her.

"I should skin you alive for even thinking of her. What was the rest of that thought? What would you do? If you had a minute with her she would be begging, perhaps? Is that it? You want to fuck my wife?" The room fell silent. The soldier's eyes narrowed at the man. Yes, the queen and her knight were ruthless, but never did they punish someone who hadn't rightly deserved it. They would all gladly die for either of them. They were all smart enough to never think of the knight or queen in a romantic fashion. And if they did, they made sure neither woman was around.

Emma stood, watching her wife carefully. She knew the man was staring at her, she was trained to feel eyes on her in every direction. The look on Regina's face said this man would be within an inch of his life very soon. She chuckled, drawing everyone's attention to her. She walked toward the brunette, grabbing her hand and kissing her knuckles. Regina's eyes softened and Emma could feel some of the anger ebb away. "Be calm, my queen." She whispered. Regina nodded, taking a deep breath. Emma looked over at the brown haired man.

"If you thought I was protective, then you should see my wife when somebody so much as looks at me the wrong way." Emma wasn't bragging or threatening, she was simply stating a fact. Regina would, and has, sent people flying across a room for looking at Emma a certain way. Neal's eyes widened. "I'm extremely tame compared to her." The blonde gave him a smirk that basically said 'you're screwed' and caught it loud and clear. His mouth opened and closed several times before words came tumbling out.

"I-I, n-no, it's not, t-that's not what...I can expl-," But before he could even finish Regina's hand shot out again, as if she were holding him by the throat. Neal started gasping and coughing. Water came out of his mouth in spurts. He was drowning from the inside out.

"You do not get to speak." Regina walked towards him slowly. "I would like you to know I would not have killed you if you had stayed quiet and kept your head down. The only people I was going to punish were the men who started it." Regina smiled maliciously. "But now you are going to die. But don't worry it will be quite some time before I grant you such kindness and put you out of your misery." She came to a stop directly in front of the man, who was now red in the face and holding his neck. "Now do you have anything to say after I have been so courteous as to grant you your life?" The magical hold on his neck was released, and he took in gulps of air. Still the idiot, he began to speak the wrong words…again.

"I'm not the only one who stares at her! We ALL do!" He heard groans behind him, thinking they were because he had sold out the others and not about his suicidal stupidity. Regina kept her composure only quirking an eyebrow at the words.

"Is that so? I doubt my guards would be stupid enough as to think something like that. Everyone in this castle knows that if you choose to make advances to what's mine, you will cease to be. Now, my White Knight," She looked over towards Emma who had a small smile gracing her lovely face.

"Yes, my queen?" Emma walked to stand next to the brunette. An evil smile grew across the queen's face.

"Paint me a picture." She said, locking eyes with the terrified man who looked at her with a confused expression. Everyone else in the room shuddered, having seen the White Knight's 'paintings' before. Emma smiled as she unsheathed her dagger.

"With pleasure, your majesty."

…

Snow paced her and Charming's room restlessly. She knew it was a good enough idea but she couldn't help but worry.

"Do think Neal's alright? I mean we haven't received anything from him yet and he said he would contact us within the week. Charming, what if something's happened?" The small woman bit her lip worriedly. Charming got up from where he was sitting, putting his hands on Snow's shoulders.

"I'm sure he's fine, Snow. You know how it is there. He can't be compromised or the consequences would be dire. When he has a chance he'll send a messenger owl and all will be okay." James looked into his wife's eyes lovingly, trying to reassure her that it would all turn out as planned. "When he gets the information he needs he'll be back before we know it." Snow smiled and leaned into his sturdy chest, listening to his heartbeat. "We will avenge our daughter." Snow sighed into his chest.

"I know we will. Regina will die for kidnapping her. She will pay. If it's the last thing I do."

…

When Emma finished, she stepped back and looked at her wife, who sat regally in her, now blood free, throne. She took a glance back at her work. The man's back was bloodied with intricate lines going in every direction. She knew she was supposed to make a picture but she thought this was so much better. Regina stood and moved next to the blonde. She looked at his back and laughed a genuine, stunned laugh. A sound that nobody except for, Emma, Killian and Graham, heard often. Really it only happened when the queen's Savior did something extremely entertaining. It was at those time that the men remembered why the fought for the woman. The sound wrapped around every heart in the room, bringing smiles to their face. A happy queen was a happy kingdom and they couldn't help but thank the White Knight, because before her arrival the queen didn't even so much as smile.

"I'm assuming you like it?" Emma smiled brightly at Regina who was wiping tears from her eyes. Regina returned the smile, grabbing her savior's hand and kissing her knuckles.

"Yes, dear, I love it. Your best one yet." Regina looked back at the man's back and smirked. It read:

'Queen Regina's little bitch. With the intelligence of the White kingdom's rulers.'

Neal's breathing was labored as he started to move. The pain in his back was unbearable but he found every time he started to pass out a jolt would go through his body keeping him awake. He craned his neck around to look at the two women who were smiling at each other. His brows furrowed a little. How would they know what the white kingdoms rulers were like? Probably just the queen spreading rumors.

"Now what are we gonna do with you?" Regina voice was hard, and smile was gone, a scowl firmly in place. Neal knew she wouldn't kill him. Not yet anyway. He had information they needed, he could use that to his advantage, and get the upper hand. He began to speak but hesitated. He didn't want to speak out of turn again, though. Afraid there will be even worse repercussions. The queen noticed this and narrowed her eyes.

"Speak. But do refrain from saying anything else foolish." Neal gulped before he spoke.

"You can't kill me." He realized how it sounded and he rushed to correct it. "No, no! I didn't mean you can't as in aren't able to, it was just a… suggestion, I guess."

"And why are suggesting I shouldn't kill you?" Regina was intrigued with what would refrain her from killing him.

"I have information you need." He cringed at the queen's dark laugh. It was nothing like the care free one he heard only moments ago.

"And whatcould you possibly offer me? I require no information about anything." Neal couldn't help but smirk a little.

"I don't know, your majesty. Not even if it pertains to a certain couple in the White kingdom?" At his words the room came to a standstill. You could hear a pin drop. The queen's eyes burned with a fire he'd never seen before. The White Knight growled and put a hand on the queen's shoulder.

"Everybody Out!" The queen's voice boomed through the room, echoing off the walls. The other men didn't need to be told twice as they ran out of the room, stumbling over their feet. They only people left in the room was Regina, Emma, Graham and Killian. They all stared at Neal, who was becoming more nervous as the seconds passed. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, he thought.

Regina closed her eyes, taking several calming breaths. Of course this has to do with them. She opened her eyes, staring the man down with the coldest glare she could muster. The shiver that she saw go down his spine made an evil smirk appear.

"You will tell me what you know or I will force it out of you." Her voice was low but he still heard it. He struggled to his feet, wincing in pain as he did.

"No. I want to make a deal first. I give you the information, you don't kill me." His voice stayed strong until the end where it wavered a bit.

"Who do you think you are? You are in my castle. Trapped by me. You are in no position to make deals."

"I think I am. If this wasn't important to you, you wouldn't have sent everybody in the room away. You can torture me, but I won't tell you anything." He crossed his arms over his chest with a wince. Hoping his speech was believable.

"What is it you want exactly, hm? A room here? Immunity?" Regina was furious. She needed the information but she would not be getting it by giving him something. Neal had to refrain from letting a night with your wife slip into his thoughts.

"Nah. All I want is for you not to kill or torture me and a spot in your top ranks. Like captain perhaps?" Killian spoke up at this.

"Hey, you're not getting a bloody thing so you can take that offer and shove it up your-," He stopped when Regina yelled at him.

"Killian! Enough." She turned back to the man who she wanted to kill more than anything right now. "Fine. I won't torture nor will I kill you. But you don't get the captain's position. You may assist the captain and head of arms. You will sleep in one of their room, in a cage, and will be let out in the mornings. That is the only offer you will get. If you don't take it then so be it." Regina knew that once she got the information out of him he would be as good as dead. He'd be an example in front of the entire guard, showing them what happens when you attempt to blackmail the Evil Queen.

Neal thought. He knew it was a pretty good deal and if he didn't take it he would be killed or tortured.

"Fine but I want a blood oath that you won't kill or torture me after I give you the information."

"That's fine. Let's do it now. Savior, if you would perform the ceremony." Regina magicked a bowl and ceremonial knife, placing it on a stand. Emma bowed her head. Both Killian and Graham moved behind the man with their hands on their swords in case he decided to try something. Regina and Neal stood across from each other glaring at each other until Neal had to look away. Emma began.

"It will be witnessed that this ceremony is between Queen Regina Mills and Sir Neal…"

"Cassidy." He mumbled.

"And Sir Neal Cassidy. The agreement states: Sir Neal Cassidy will not be killed or tortured by Queen Regina Mills in exchange for the truthful and detailed information he holds relating to the White kingdom, which is to be given within 30 days from now. Should either of the two break this contract they will be…" Emma thought for a moment. In blood ceremonies the consequence is either already given to the person giving the ceremony or they could make it up themselves. Emma loved making up the punishments because they were always ridiculous but kind of funny. "They will be set ablaze automatically, never dying but feeling every flame on their skin until I put them out of their misery. If one of the parties refuse the consequence or in any way tries to get out of, or alter the contract they will immediately forfeit and suffer the consequence." Emma looked at Neal, his face deathly pale. Then she looked toward Regina, who had a tiny smile on the edge her lips.

"Would either party like to forfeit at this point?" When both shook their heads Emma continued. "Your hand, my queen." Emma took her soft hand gently caressing it her thumb. As carefully as she could she dragged the dagger across the brunette's palm, letting the blood run into the bowl. She then held the hand between her hands and put it to her lips as she healed it. Regina gave her a smile then gestured over to Neal who looked at them in awe. Never had he seen either woman so gentle or calm. Emma sighed and let go of Regina's hand to snatch Neal's rough, calloused one. She all but stabbed the dagger into his hand as she put it over the bowl to let the blood mix. She dropped the hand roughly, not even bothering to give him something to wrap it with. She placed the tip of the dagger into the bowl. Her eyes closed and she began to whisper the incantation to bind their contract together. The air around them began to move as Emma's magic wrapped around their bodies in a golden smoke. When it dissipated she opened her eyes.

"Let it be known that the contract between Queen Regina Mills and Sir Neal Cassidy is complete." Regina nodded and magicked away the table and its contents. She turned to Neal.

Well, Mr. Cassidy there you are. You now have 30 days to tell me the information or suffer the consequences." She smirked at him.

"You cheated! I never said a specific time when I'd tell you! And I never agreed to being detailed!" It was Emma who spoke this time.

"Well do you wanna forfeit? You'll burn forever because I definitely won't being killing you but you can forfeit."

"No I won't let you win. Just show me to where I'll be sleeping." Neal scowled at the women.

"Very well. Your cage is ready. I've placed one in both Killian and Graham's rooms so they can choose who will be unfortunate enough as to get you. See you in the morning Sir Cassidy." Regina turned to Killian and Graham. "Show him the ropes and how things work. He must be in your sight 24/7. Am I understood?" Both men nodded and responded at the same time.

"Yes, my queen."

"Good. You are dismissed." With the wave of her hand she and Emma were gone, leaving the three men standing in the war room.

…

"How could you serve them? Do they have something over you? I mean they are cruel and heartless. They probably don't know shit about runnin' a kingdom." Neal was babbling away as Hook walked with him towards his room. Graham agreed that they'd switch every two days and he had the first two. Killian turned quickly ramming Neal against the wall with his good arm as he held his hook against the other man's face.

"Listen here, mate. You won't speak of them like that again or I'll have your head. They are the two most compassionate people I know. I serve them because I want to. They run this kingdom with an iron fist but never have they dueled out a punishment that wasn't well deserved. The punishment you received should have been more severe but they had mercy on you. It's best you don't forget that." Hook walked into his room moving toward the cage that held a cot inside it. "In ya go, lad."

"You're not really expecting me to go in there are you?" When Killian stayed quiet. Neal huffed and strode into the cage. "This isn't right." The captain just closed the door and locked, jiggling the bars to be sure it was locked.

"You're right. It should be a dungeon cell."

…

Emma was exhausted. The magic used to perform the ceremony took a lot out of her and she just wanted to sleep, cuddled up next to her wife. Emma looked around their room looking for a sign of the brunette. She heard a sound come from the bathroom and went to investigate. When she walked in she saw Regina perched on the edge of the tub completely naked, looking at her expectantly.

"Holy hell…" Emma breathed. Even after 9 years of being married seeing Regina still managed to take her breath away every time. Emma honestly has no idea how she got Regina. They woman was lust in the flesh, wrapped in an angel's disguise. She remembered the first time she saw Regina naked. She literally passed out for a few seconds waking to see the angel herself hovering right above her. Regina crooked her finger in a 'come hither' motion, making Emma's breath hitch in her throat.

"I thought you could use a bath after the magic you used today. I'm very proud of you, that's a difficult spell to perform." Emma smiled as she padded over to the tub.

"Well I have a good teacher. She's really sexy too." Emma smirked at Regina's raised eyebrow.

"Oh is she now?" Emma nodded enthusiastically.

"Totally! She's so sexy. Brunette, has these brown eyes like pools I could just fall into. And don't even get me started on her body. Wooo! Yeah, she basically the most beautiful thing on this earth." Emma smiled and took one of Regina's curls in her finger, twisting it. She looked into brown eyes.

"Hold me?" She asked, biting her lip. Regina simply smiled softly stepping into the water and opening her arms for Emma to get in. Emma's body molded against Regina's perfectly, fitting like a puzzle piece. She sighed as she settled in the warm water between the brunette's legs. Strong arms pulled her close and she felt a chin rest on her shoulder.

"How are you?" Regina asked drawing circles on Emma's torso. The blonde shrugged.

"I'm fine. Why?" Regina sighed. She knew her wife hated talking about her parents but with what was happening they did need to talk about it.

"So you're perfectly fine. Not bothered with your parents at all. Not at all curious on how their doing." She felt Emma start to pull away so she tightened her arms around Emma until she settled back against Regina.

"Don't call them that. They stopped being my parents the moment they tried to marry me off to some dipshit prince. There's always a part of me that will love them. I mean they're my parents and they raised me for 19 years but I don't want to love them, Regina. I want to hate them! I do to hate them, so much, but there's a small part of me, a very small part, that still cares and I hate it!" Regina sighed against Emma shoulder giving it a chaste kiss.

"I know how you feel. You know how Cora was to me. What she did… I hate every day of my life but I also love her, despite everything she's done, because she's my mother." Emma grasped Regina hand, intertwining their fingers. She knew the brunette loathed talking about her mother and she appreciated that Regina did anyway. For her. She turned to look into brown eyes. Emma couldn't help but gravitate to the woman holding her, pressing their lips together.

Regina sighed when Emma's lips touched hers. The things Emma could do to her without even trying astounded Regina, even now. She moved her hands from Emma's stomach moving it to the back of the blonde's neck, bringing her in closer. They stayed like that for a while, just getting lost in each other's touch before they had to break apart for air. They pressed their forehead together, keeping their eyes closed. Emma opened her eyes waiting for Regina to open hers. When their eyes locked, Emma smiled.

"I love you." She whispered, bringing her hand to cup the brunette's face. Regina couldn't help smile at the words or her heart picking up every time Emma said it. She turned her head, kissing Emma's palm.

"I love you too, dear. Now sit back and let me take care of you." She began to wash Emma and the blonde's head lolled back onto the brunettes shoulder, humming.

"That's great, babe. This should be a regular thing." Her eyes were closed as she mumbled into Regina's neck, placing a small kiss there.

"Yes, I bet you'd like that, but I don't think I have the time or patience to bathe you every day." She smiled as she continued running the cloth across pale skin.

"Well, damn. I'll do it for you too, if you want, cause this is so relaxing. I feel tingly all over." Regina just laughed finishing and dropping the towel back into the water.

"I'm done. It's time for you to get up, dear." When the blonde didn't respond Regina heard light snoring and looked down to see her eyes were closed. She smiled, shaking her head. "What am I going to do with you?" Regina poofed them into their bed, holding Emma against her chest. She placed a light kiss in the blonde's naked shoulder.

"Sleep well, my love." She whispered before letting sleep take her too.

…

"Ay! Up and Adam, mate! We've got to talk with the queen about her schedule." Killian threw clothes into the cage. "Make yourself presentable." Neal groaned as her rolled over on his cot.

"She doesn't know her schedule?" He began changing when Killian walked into the bathroom.

"We don't tell her, idiot, she tells us. Now hurry it's never good to be late." Neal rushed to get dressed, not wanting to piss off, her majesty. When he was ready Killian was all but sprinting while Neal tried to keep up. Wincing at the pain the radiated from his back. "Now when we get to her chambers remember to always knock and wait before being invited in. Keep your head down and don't look at them directly unless told otherwise or spoken to directly no matter what they're doing. You don't talk back nor do you question what she says. You listen and memorize her day because she will not tell you twice. And trust me when I say, messing up her schedule will lead to severe punishment if she doesn't like you, and mate, she doesn't like you." Neal listened with rapt attention, trying to remember all the rules.

"Are you saying she likes you?" Neal snorted. "I didn't think she liked anyone."

"The Queen has grown to genuinely like very few people. Graham and I being part of the fortunate few."

"So Regi-," Killian stopped abruptly, spinning around to face the other man.

"Now listen here. You never, never call the queen by her given name. I can count on my one hand how many people are allowed to call her that, and you would be at the very bottom of that list, lad. Address her as nothing but 'your majesty'. Not 'my queen' or 'Queen Regina'. And never speak to the White Knight if she hasn't directly spoken to you. Neither are fun in the morning but the Savior is…extremely grouchy. Do you understand?" Hook kept his voice low but talked fast. Neal nodded and the captain spun around continuing towards the queens chambers.

…

Emma woke up with arms around her waist. She turned carefully, as to not wake the sleeping woman. She stared at the brunette's face, admiring her features. She brought her finger to the sleeping face and started tracing lines down her face. Regina's nose scrunched and Emma couldn't help but melt at her wife's adorable expression.

"What are you doing, Emma?" Regina kept her eyes closed, as the finger traced her face.

"Admiring." Emma replied simply. She watched as brown eyes blinked open sleepily. She smiled at the brunette moving her finger to trace plump lips. When Emma's finger touched her lips, Regina caught them in her mouth, swirling her tongue around them. Emma's eyes darkened and Regina nipped at them lightly with her teeth before letting go. "Tease." Emma whispered.

"I like to call it foreplay, dear." Regina's voice had dropped an octave, making Emma groan. She moved to straddle her queen, leaning down until their lips were barely touching.

"Oh is that what you call it? Cause to me it just feels like fucking teasing." Emma rolled her hips against Regina's once, eliciting a moan from the older woman. "Now. Is that teasing or foreplay?" Emma smirked at Regina's growl.

"Emma. If you don't kiss me right now I swe-," Emma complied before Regina even finished, lowering her lips the rest of the way to the ones below her. Regina wrapped her legs around Emma's torso, locking her in place. The blonde began to rock against the brunette, both of them moaning in unison at the feeling. Emma trailed kisses down Regina's jaw moving her lips to nip at the tan neck in front of her. She bit down right above the other woman's collarbone, marking her, before soothing it with her tongue. Before she could continue, Regina disappeared from below her, causing Emma to face plant into pillows. Her head shot up, looking for her wife, she was perched on their vanity, legs crossed, with a sinful smirk on her lips.

"Did you really think it would be that easy, dear?" Her finger began to trace over her exposed chest.

"Of course not, my queen. You know how I love a challenge." Emma growled, hopping off the bed and stalked towards Regina, but was stopped when she ran into an invisible barrier. She frowned.

"What the hell, Regina? Let me in." She banged her fist against the wall wanting to get to her wife. Regina just smiled, cocking her head with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Hm… No."

"What do you mean no? Take down the damn wall, Regina." Emma was starting to get really frustrated.

"No. I want you to beg first." Regina said smiling at her wife's confused face.

"Beg for what?"

"Beg to fuck me of course." Regina's grinned widened at Emma shocked face.

"Hell no! If anything you should be begging me!" Emma was pissed and horny and neither of those were good emotions to have in the morning.

"Fine. We'll just do this the hard way." Regina stuck two fingers in her mouth, sucking them soundly before pulling them out. She trailed her hands slowly down her neck, down to the breasts, squeezing them gently before continuing south. She watched Emma's reaction the whole time, watching the blonde's breathing get more labored and her green eyes go completely black.

"Gina, please." Emma whimpered, her hand and forehead pressed against the barrier. Regina stooped her finger just above their destination, smiling at the words.

"You're going to have to be much more specific than that, dear. Please, what?" She dipped her fingers even lower but was stopped by a shout.

"Wait! Okay, just, wait." Emma closed her eyes, not believing she was about to beg to fuck her wife. "Please, Gina. Please let me fuck you. I'll make you feel so fucking good just, god, please let me touch you." Regina hummed, obviously pleased with the blonde's words. With a flick of her wrist the wall fell away and Emma was in front of her in a flash. She stood between the brunette's knees, pulling the legs around her waist. She attacked Regina's mouth nipping and sucking a path down her neck. "I can't believe I just fucking did that." Emma muttered against soft skin. Regina smirked.

"Mm, you better believe it. I definitely won't be forgetting that." She had her hands buried in Emma's golden locks, pushing her lower to where she needed her most. Before Emma could venture any further, a knock sounded at the door. Emma's eyes shot open and groaned.

"AHH! Seriously?! Fuck! Dammit!" Emma dropped her head to Regina's shoulder, sighing in frustration. "Make'em go away, Gina!" She whined. Regina didn't bother cover herself up, knowing both Killian and Graham had seen it all before.

"Enter!"

…

"Damn." Killian whispered.

"What is it?"

"She only answers like that if we've interrupted something."

"What do you mean by 'interrupted'?" Neal didn't know what could possibly be happening inside their bedroom that could have been disturbed. (He's got that Charming tact, he does.)

"You'll see soon enough. Just keep your head down and don't stare." He said before pushing open the door. Both men entered with their heads down. Neal understood what Killian meant by don't stare and it was damn hard not to. He glanced around the room, taking in all the aspects of it, trying not to stare at the naked queen and knight sitting on a vanity. He stood next to Killian who was looking at them like it wasn't the hottest thing he's ever seen, it was almost like he was kinda bored.

"Ah Killian and Sir Cassidy. You're late." He tone neutral and eyes narrowed.

"Aye, your majesty, we are. It won't happen again, I was just filling him in on procedure." Killian looked back at his feet after being scolded. It's all his bloody fault anyway... He thought.

"It better not. Now. I have court at noon until two today. Don't let the citizens in until exactly 12:15. Assemble the war meeting with everyone that was there yesterday. Lunch should be directly after court and the meeting at 5:00. We will be ready for breakfast soon. I expect to see you both, and Graham when we get there. Do not be tardy." Regina continued to draw patterns on Emma back while the blonde rested her head on Regina's shoulder, not caring about the other men in the room. This was her time with her wife and she wouldn't waste a minute of it. "Sir Cassidy do you any information you'd like to share?" She knew he wouldn't but she still asked anyway.

Neal's head shot up. He glanced over at Hook before looking at the queen, noticing how the knight rested against her shoulder, and the gentle caress that moved along the blonde's spine. He looked back down, shaking his head. "No. your majesty, there isn't."

"Very well. You have 29 days remaining, use them wisely. You are dismissed." As the pair turned to exit the room, Graham rushed in, without knocking, not even batting an eye at the intimate position the couple was it.

"Graham what is the meaning of this?"

"Your majesty, we have a problem."

"And what is the problem, Graham?"

"Y-you have a visitor…"

"Who? I have no one planned for today." Graham looked at Killian nervously before turning back to his queen. He took a shuddering breath.

"I'm almost too afraid to tell you, your majesty."

Just so you know writing the small Snowing scene made me gag, but it was necessary. So how bout Neal's ticking time bomb huh? Don't worry he won't be around forever just the next 29 days, maybe... This is about how long chapters will be from now on but they might take a little more time.

*This Chapter's Announcement*

Now we all know how much this show loves fairy tale's and Disney. So, I've decided to let you choose who it is who is visiting Regina from a list of Disney Villians. Here they are:

An extremely pissed off Maleficent, Cruella De Vil (101 Dalimations), Jafar (Aladdin), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), Yzma (Emperor's new groove), Hades (Hercules), Scar, as a shape shifter (The lion king), Ursula (The little Mermaid) and if you really want it, I was gonna save her for later, but it can be Cora.

So those are your choices. Choose wisely, my friends.
