SWAN QUEEN WEEK
Day 7-Trapped Together
"You know, I'm not sure this is the best way to track down that... thing." Regina told Emma as they were making their way through the forest surrounding Storybrooke.
"We saw it disappear into the woods, we have to find it before it attacks the town again, people could get hurt." Emma argued.
"Yes but traipsing around with no plan or trace whatsoever isn't going to lead us anywhere. We don't even know what it is that we're looking for, Emma. This is completely useless!" Regina said, throwing her hands up in the air in frustration and the blonde smirked.
"You're just trying to get me to go back because your heels are uncomfortable, right?" she teased and Regina shot her a glare.
"Please, I could go more in my heels than you in your boots, believe me." she said in her most queenly voice and Emma grinned, totally unconvinced. "But seriously, do you even have any idea where we are or which way we're going or is this just a nice little afternoon stroll?" Regina asked, looking around but before Emma could answer the ground seemed to move and then disappear from under them and they both let out screams of their own as they were thrown against each other and enveloped in a huge net then pulled up into the air.
"What the hell!" Emma yelled once they stopped moving and were just swaying from side to side up in the air.
"A trap. We literally just walked into a trap, Emma..." Regina growled and that was when the blonde noticed just how close they were forced in this net. Their legs were tangled together and one of Emma's hand and arm was stuck under Regina, making her literally lay on top of the other woman, chest to chest, their faces a few inches apart.
"I can't believe this... who makes traps like this, seriously?" Emma huffed, trying to pull her hand free and move away from the brunette because this really was not going to work, she couldn't think of anything else but how nice Regina smelled ands she wasn't supposed to think about things like that...
"The Merry Men, I'd guess." Regina muttered,kicking out with her legs, hoping to push herself up into some sort of a sitting position but only managing to brush up against Emma more.
"Could you...ugh, stop that, please?" Emma asked with a grimace, feeling her heart race as Regina's legs slid against hers, a foot moving up her ankle and shin and where was Regina's shoe anyways? She angled her head so she could take a look at the brunette's feet and then onto the ground where she saw one of Regina's heels, which was probably knocked off her foot when they got tangled into the net.
"You're the one who's lying on top of me, maybe you could try to change the position..." Regina said between gritted teeth, grunting as she pulled her leg only for a second before it was caught up in the net again. Laughter involuntarily burst out of Emma after her words and Regina looked at her as if she was insane.
"Change the position?" Emma giggled over the fact how dirty that sounded and that Regina probably didn't even realize it. "Okay, Regina. How about this?" she asked, grabbing the net behind Regina to get leverage and straining her muscles, she pushed herself away the best she could.
They wobbled around wildly for a long moment, arms and legs pushing at the net, both of them trying their best to find a better pose but after a while Regina just ended up being the one laying flat on top of Emma, her hands stuck in the rope around the blonde's head. "Better?" Emma asked cheekily and Regina glared at her.
"No, Miss Swan, not what I was thinking..." Regina growled and Emma was all to aware of the proximity of their bodies, the way Regina's breasts were pressed up against Emma's abdomen and her face was hovering above Emma's heaving chest.
"Then please show me how it's done, your majesty." Emma said in amusement, making Regina roll her eyes.
Then it was Regina's turn to move and she tried to actually climb the net, grabbing the rope around Emma's head and managing to pull the blonde locks in the process.
"Ow, ooow, be careful!" Emma said, grabbing at her temples and Regina fell back against her as she quickly let go of the ropes but didn't manage to grab another part and her hands slid out of the net again. Air rushed out of both of them from the impact with an 'oof' and Emma found herself face to... ehm, breast with the brunette. "Eh, Regina... maybe you could..." she said in a voice way to high for herself and Regina looked down with a chuckle.
"Eyes up here, Miss Swan." she teased and Emma couldn't believe her.
"Very funny, Regina." she muttered when the brunette finally moved and for a few minutes she actually thought Regina's plan to climb carefully would work, of course she wasn't about to tell that to the other woman.
But then as soon as Regina got to a point far enough from her, something in the balance seemed to change and with a series of grunts and groans from both of them, she was hurled forward and ended up literally straddling the brunette with one of Regina's hands landing on her boob and their foreheads pressing together.
"Ow...oh... hi." Emma breathed out, not daring to move one bit because their lips were just so close and did Regina's breathing just increase or was that simply because of the moving around...?
"Emma..." Regina murmured and it was so cozy up there, her lips so close to Emma's and it would be so easy, so very easy to just close that distance, to just shift a little and brush up against them, just one taste, just one press of her lips against those plump ones she has spent so much of her time staring at or fantasizing about and woooah wait a minute there, Emma, what? Yeah, she really couldn't do that and had to stop this train of thought immediately...
Then Regina seemed to notice where her hand was and she blushed, moving her hand but ending up just embracing Emma instead and now there was really barely any space between their lips and Emma couldn't help but look down onto Regina's lips, her eyes lingering there even when she heard Regina's sharp intake of breath.
"Emma?" came the brunette's breathy voice and Emma finally dragged her eyes up only to meet darkened brown ones, Regina's pupils dilated and her gaze almost... lustful? And oh damn it, she couldn't help herself, she didn't even want to anymore... She just dove in and kissed Regina passionately.
When it occurred to her after a second that the brunette wasn't moving she felt panic rise up in her, oh shit was she making a huge mistake here? But before she could pull away and start to apologize profusely the brunette's lips finally melted against hers and she returned the kiss just as eagerly, the hand that was at Emma's back moving up to tangle in her hair and pull the blonde even closer.
"Hmm..sorry." Emma mumbled when they broke apart and she felt Regina's lips curl up into a smile against hers.
"I'm not." she murmured, stealing another kiss from Emma.
"Oh, not for the kiss. That was long overdue..." Emma grinned earning another eye roll from the brunette. "For taking off like this into the woods and dragging you with me." she said.
"That's okay, your 'hero instincts'..." Regina dismissed.
"Yeah, I call it, 'Let's impress Regina but end up doing something stupid instead'- instinct..." Emma muttered and Regina chuckled so sweetly that Emma's heart swelled.
"You sweet idiot..." Regina shook her head then she leaned up and kissed Emma again and again, completely forgetting about their problematic situation until someone cleared their throat just under them and they pulled apart with swollen lips and hazy eyes. They looked down to find Snow, David and Henry looking up at them with wide, surprised eyes or in the case of their son, a huge grin.
"About time..." Henry said with a wink.
Thank you for reading, please let me know what you thought! :)
