Sorry for the break, we're working on two other stories at the moment.
Regina watched Henry walk out of the house, Emma ruffling his hair, with a sigh. She had, reluctantly, agreed to let her son stay with the annoying sheriff for a night in hopes that he'd be a little more amicable with her.
She didn't like the feeling that accompanied letting him go. Even if it was just for a night, it still felt a bit like defeat. Like Emma had won a battle in their little war.
There were perks, however, to the arrangement. With Henry over at Emma's, Regina was free to spend an evening with Jane, child-free. And she planned to take full advantage of it.
After receiving a call from the woman of her dreams, Jane showed up at her door step, dressed nicely. Pastel blue, silk button up with a black blazer, black dress pants and of course her boots. Jane's hair was even a little less wild and she put on a little bit of make up.
Ringing the doorbell, Jane waited with a single red rose in her hand.
Regina knew she had wowed Jane on their first date alone in casual wear. Now that they were going out on a date that reached the other end of the spectrum, the mayor felt a little more in her comfort zone. So, she worked hard to ensure that that jaw of Jane's would drop when she opened the door. In a shorter than usual, strapless black dress with her hair up for a change, the mayor answered the door and smiled. "Hi, Jane."
When the door opened, Jane was speechless. And of course the moment she saw her, Jane went slack jawed. After a moment of just looking she finally handed the rose over silently. Finally after a moment, she spoke. "You look absolutely perfect."
Regina smiled. "Thank you. You look very beautiful, also." She stepped forward and kissed Jane softly before pulling away and heading back into the house, expecting her date to follow as she spoke. "Just let me get this in some water and then we can go."
When she came back, Jane was still at the door. Seeing the look on Regina's face the chief chuckled. "Honey, if I came in.. we wouldn't have made it to the restaurant."
Regina tilted her head slightly and grinned as she stepped outside with the other woman. "You really are a cocky thing." She stopped just a hair's breadth from Jane's lips. "Who says I would've given into you?"
"Well, lets see.." Jane smirked right before she crashed her lips against the mayor's, in a heated passionate kiss. The deeper it got the hotter Jane got for the woman. Hands moved down to the back of Regina's thighs. Picking the woman up to straddle her waist, never breaking the lip lock, she walked inside, kicked the door shut and fell onto the couch, onto of her almost lover. Jane's left hand moved up the inner part of her thigh and stroked Regina's core once then added pressure to the panty covered clit.
By the time Jane got Regina on the couch the former queen was already a hot mess, desire pooling between her legs and her chest flush. A moan escaped her lips at that first touch, her back arching as she grabbed onto Jane tightly, her nails biting into the flesh of the fire chief's back.
Jane gave it a minute or so more before she sat up, bracing herself on her hands. Hovering over Regina. "Well we better go, or we'll loose our table." She smirked.
Regina looked up at her with lust darkened eyes, her breathing clearly heavier. "You can't be serious?"
"Ah, so you would have given in." She grinned. Sitting completely up, Jane stripped off her blazer quickly then threw it across the room before diving back down and kissing Regina with all the passion she has ever had. Gripping the mayor's thighs she then rocked her own hips against hers. A primitive growl escaping her throat as she did so.
That growl traveled to the center of Regina's very core being, the queen having had her share of lovers but never any with such raw and pure desire for her. It was as though she were being consumed alive. She whimpered needly into Jane's mouth and rolled her hips against her, seeking all the friction she could get as she tugged at the fire chief, trying to pull her as close as humanly possible. "Fuck. Yes. I'd give in. I will give in."
Wrapping her arms around the brunette's ass and middle back she picked her up, straight off the couch. The adrenaline had powered her to do so and with what was left she carried Regina up the stairs and to the master bedroom. Jane wanted to do this right the first time.
It was a primal type of love making between the two. Jane had double the need to please. She was finally getting what Fallon longed for as well. A true connection with the queen. One that was more than just sex. Instead it was about the two becoming one. The chief wanting this as well. Every ounce of love Fallon had for Regina came pouring into Jane. This... This was perfection.
Lying there in post coital bliss, in Jane's arms, Regina's mind just wouldn't shut up. She wondered if giving into Jane had been selfish, or something she should've done long ago. Fallon had loved her, but Fallon was gone to the curse, and Regina worried that she had used her friend's body for her own pleasures, that if Fallon ever came back she'd be angry with her. She contemplated it all as she ran her fingertips over Jane's abdomen.
Pressing her lips to the top of Regina's head, she held them there as she thought. Fallon truly loved Regina and Jane could feel it. In fact, that feeling hadn't gone away. Twitching slightly after Regina ran her fingers over a tickle spot, she smiled. "So... can I claim the infamous Mayor Mills as my girlfriend yet?"
Regina smiled at Jane's twitch and then closed her eyes and wrapped her arm around the firefighter's waist as she considered the request. "Yes." She opened her eyes and looked up at Jane. They'd already made it this far, might as well go all the way. "You may claim me as your girlfriend. Just as long as the other girls, ahem Ruby," she cleared her throat and then chuckled, "know you belong to me."
"Oh they'll know. If they dont hear it from my mouth they'll see the mark kn my neck I'm sure you left. And if you did I will wear it proudly, my lady." Jane grinned. "In fact... hand me that sharpie I saw on the nightstand."
"I was a bit rough, wasn't I? Well, I apologize for any scratches or bruises I may have left behind, but I certainly don't regret making them." Regina smirked and then rolled to grab the sharpie, turning to give it to Jane. "Whatever you're planning to do... you don't really have to."
"Scars from sex with a beautiful woman are always badass." she grinned and opened the marker. Taking Regina's hand she wrote 'Jane's Girl' on the top of it. With a grin she handed it back to her. "There."
"Oh so mature." Regina chuckled and ran her fingers over the words. "It's true now, but still. This isn't going to look all that professional at work." She rolled on top of Jane and set a hand on the side of her neck, her thumb stroking her jaw. "I won't rush to wash it off, though." She kissed her girlfriend then deeply.
"You sit in an office by yourself most of the day so it shouldn't bother anyone." Jane smiled and wrapped her arms around Regina and kissed her back just as deeply.
"Mmm..." Regina nibbled at Jane's bottom lip. "But I do have to go to different meetings throughout the day sometimes. Meetings with people like yourself, department heads."
"And?" She flipped them over, now looking down at the Mayor. "Im staking my claim silently." she smiled. "Now if you like, when I get up there to speak I can stake it aloud."
"I do still have a reputation to maintain, you know." Regina lifted her head to plant a few soft kisses along Jane's throat, wrapping her legs around her to pull the fire chief closer as she did so.
Jane smiled and moaned. "Mm yes you do but see soon everyone will know that you're my girlfriend and you'll have a new rep." she smiled. "As the one that tamed the Rizzoli."
"I guess showing them that I can put womanizing Jane Rizzoli on a leash would only add to my reputation." Regina grinned and nipped at her lover's neck.
"Mm, baby, you may have me tamed but I'm on no leash." Jane grinned before bucking her hips against Regina's.
Regina lost her concentration for just a moment, moaning softly, before speaking again. "Not yet." She grinned and kissed Jane deeply, delving into another round of lovemaking as she slipped her hand between the firefighter's legs.
Regina had Jane panting by the time they finished. A sheen of sweat between them and the smell of sex in the air. "Mm damn girl... you're amazing." She kissed her damp forehead. "I vote a hot shower together then while you relax I'll make some dinner."
"I'd completely forgotten about dinner. Guess I was getting my fill in other ways." Regina smirked and rolled them so she was on top again, kissing Jane soundly one more time before crawling out of bed and heading toward the bathroom.
Hopping in the shower right behind her sexy lover, Jane grabbed the shampoo and poured some in her hand right before moving in and started to lather Regina's hair with it. Once it was good and soapy, the chief's hands moved down her arms slowly then up the mayor's abdomen and around her luscious breasts.
Regina closed her eyes and leaned back into her lover, her back pressed to Jane's front for delicious contact. It wasn't their first time bathing together, the mayor recalling times she'd helped Fallon after she'd injured herself and couldn't lift an arm or needed assistance in cleaning her leg wound, but it was decidingly her favorite.
The Fallon inside wanted to take care of her and repay Regina for all the kindness she had shown when they bathed together and helping Jane wash. Jane did this for complete kindness and to be able to touch the Mayor. There was a huge part of the firefighter that wanted to discuss 'Once Upon a Time', but she remembered how she scolded both her and Henry. So in turn, Jane kept her mouth shut.
After their shower, Regina had refused to let Jane cook, claiming it was her turn to feed the fire chief. Especially after her heroic actions. Standing at the stove in a short robe she didn't wear often, Regina started their dinner. "You know, I'm not really a fan of Ms. Swan, obviously, but I'm feeling better and better about letting her have Henry for the night." She glanced Jane's way with the hint of a smile.
Jane gave the queen a smile. "Oh yeah? Maybe you should let Emma keep Henry at least once a week because I like being alone with you." Moving up behind the woman, Jane's arms snaked around her waist and chin rested on her shoulder.
"Mmm I do like the alone time. But I don't like the idea of giving Emma Swan the satisfaction of so much Henry time." Regina said, leaning into Jane slightly.
"She means you no harm." Jane mentioned as she kissed the side of Regina's neck. "If not her then let him stay with a friend. All I know is I at least want one date night a week with you."
"Perhaps. And I know you're friends with Emma, but she did give Henry up, including all rights to him. I don't appreciate her coming in here, claiming she needs to stay for his sake as though I'm a horrible mother."
"You're not a horrible mother. If you were, Henry wouldn't have turned out as amazing as he did. And Emma gave him up because she was in prison. She wanted a better life for him. And I think she stayed longer because Henry asked her to. Now she stays because she likes this place and most of the people but doesn't want to leave it."
"I still don't like her." Regina said as she removed their dinner from the hot burner and turned to face Jane. "But I don't want to talk about her anymore right now. I'd rather focus on you." She noted as she leaned in and brushed her lips against Jane's.
"On me?" She whispered before kissing the woman lightly. Jane's hands moved down the silk robe and gripped Regina's firm ass. "Every inch of you is incredible."
"And I could spend all night getting more closely antiquated with all of you." Regina backed Jane up against a counter and lifted her shirt a little, running her fingers over hard abs. "Every toned muscle." Her fingertips then found the mark of an old wound she'd tended to. "Every scar." She leaned in to plant kisses along Jane's neck as her hand moved up to cup a breast. "And every sensitive spot." She finished, sucking on a tender spot on Jane's neck.
"Mm, please do. No one's stoppin ya." She swallowed hard and let out a moan of pure lust and enjoyment. Jane's hands rested on the counter, her breathing heavy and her panties wet once again.
Regina greedily took Jane then against the counter, ignoring their hot dinner on the stove. Not that her lover minded, obviously. The mayor didn't think she'd ever tire of seeing pleasure wash over Jane's face at her hand, thrilled she could finally give her Fallon the attention she deserved.
Jane was completely out of breath when Regina finished with her. Her cheek rested against Regina's head. Weak in the knees. "Wow..." She whispered.
The smile on her face disappeared, however, when her heart felt as if it were tightening. Her breathing stopped, just to try to keep the pain level low. Jane's fingertips dug into the mayor's back as she waited it out.
Regina felt Jane go from near putty in her arms to extremely taut and pulled back just enough to get a good look at her lover. "Jane, are you all right?"
She couldn't speak for a moment and with the pain finally subsided, she took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah... yeah I'm okay. I guess all the passion got to me." She smiled and put her forehead to Regina's. "I'm not a machine ya know?" She chuckled then kissed her nose. "I'm okay." Jane whispered.
Regina didn't seem fully convinced, but she nodded and hugged Jane to her. "Okay. Why don't you go get in bed and I'll take it easy on you for the rest of the night?" She forced a smile as she stepped back. "I'll reheat our dinner and we can eat it in bed."
"Okay, sweetie." Jane kissed her cheek then headed upstairs. She went to the master bathroom and splashed water on her face and neck. Looking in the mirror she sighed. "Second time this has happened. Can't be stress, 'cause I'm totally relaxed." She stood up straight then headed for the the king sized bed. "Ha, the queen does have her king. Who said it had to be a dude?" She whispered to herself.
Regina came up a bit later and handed Jane a plate and bottle of water before taking a seat next to her, sitting cross legged so she was facing her. "I'm sure it's not quite as good as it would've been fresh but I still hope you enjoy it." She smiled softly and poked at her food for a moment before taking a bite.
"Yeah well, it was a sacrifice both of us were willing to take at the time." The chief grinned then took the first bite, moaning softly. "Oh wow, this actually really really good, Regina."
"Thank you." Regina's smile grew a little wider. The two ate in companionable silence and then Regina set her plate off to the side, on her night stand, before moving between Jane's legs. Her hand traveled down Jane's thighs slowly, stopping at her prosthetic leg. "Would you like me to help you take it off? I'm sure you'd be more comfortable without it right now."
"I uh..." She was ashamed of her leg secretly. "It wouldn't freak you out any?"
"No." Regina shook her head, already moving to remove it. The tone of her voice made it clear that this wasn't a big deal to her, that Jane having a fake leg didn't seem abnormal to her. "I've been rubbing up against you all day, dear, and haven't even paid attention to the plastic and metal leg. It's your hands and other particular body parts I've been interested in." She smirked. "But I figured you may feel a little more comfy without it now that we're lounging." She slid the prosthetic off and set it off to the side.
Watching Regina take her leg off was different. She never let anyone touch it like that. But this is the Queen the one that Fallon loved so much. "Thank you." those three words held so much meaning.
"Anytime." Regina leaned in and kissed Jane deeply. When she finally sat back, she ran her fingers along the stub gently, with clear affection, recalling that day of the amputation in her mind clearly.
"I-I dont ever let anyone even look at my leg let alone touch it. But for some reason... I dont feel judged with you."
"There's nothing to judge, Jane." Regina looked into her lover's dark eyes. "You were hurt, badly, and the doctor did what he had to do to keep you alive. If anything, it makes me respect you a little more. The way you still move around and do great work shows strength, perseverance."
Jane smiled. "Wish everyone thought like you. Not many know that I have this injury. One of the reasons I stopped sleeping with men was because they grossed out and left." Jane shrugged. She then pulled Regina against her body and laid down with her. "I just showed Maura the scars on my back a couple of days ago. She's the only one that has seen them."
"And here I thought you just preferred women's company over men's." Regina snuggled close to Jane, resting her arm over her stomach. "Scars from what?" The mayor knew exactly what but hadn't seen them herself in decades.
"Well I do." Jane smirked and wrapped her arms around Regina soundly. "I have no idea where they're from. All I know is that they're there." She sighed then tried her hand at getting Regina to spill something, anything. "There is so much of my life that's missing from memory. I just... I just wanna know who I am. It sounds stupid but, I just feel so lost."
Regina knew the curse was weakening. It was designed so that Storybrooke residents had false memories or just never bothered to think about their pasts - a sort of emptiness they just accepted. The former queen felt horrible for Jane. Fallon was the one person Regina did want a happy ending for.
But she also didn't want her curse broken. "You went through a pretty tough ordeal. I'm not surprised you don't remember much."
"Do you know what happened?" Jane's question was simple but filled with more that just simpleness.
Regina was very careful about how she phrased it. "You were in a horrible collision. And you were unconscious for quite some time."
"Hmm." She thought about it and nodded. "Guess it took away all the memories I had before the accident. Was Maura with me when it happened because she doesn't remember anything about her past Like childhood to a little while ago."
Regina sat up, pulling the sheet with her to stay covered. "Why are you asking me all of these questions?" She asked, clearly agitated. "Especially right now."
Jane looked up at her and sighed. "I'm sorry... The subject of my leg started all the questions I've been wanting to have answered for so long." Sitting up she kissed Regina's shoulder. "I just thought you could help me but I guess it wasn't the most romantic subject." Moving her hand up and down the Mayor's arm she sighed. "I'm sorry. I wont mention it again."
"It just felt like an interrogation. I know I'm the leader of this town but I don't have all of the answers." Regina set her chin on her shoulder as she looked over at Jane. "I can try to help you find them, though."
"I didn't mean for it to feel like that, babe. I apologize." She gave a weak smile. "I guess when I got one answer it fed my need to get more."
"As curiosity usually goes." Regina leaned in then and kissed Jane. "We can talk more about it later." She whispered against her lips. "Let's just enjoy each other's company right now."
"Agreed." She smiled and closed the distance between them and kissed her flushly. Wrapping her arms around the woman, she laid back down, holding her Regina close.

Jane may have softened her up but Regina was back to her manipulating ways the next day, convincing Maurice to steal some of Gold's items from his home so that she could rummage through his shop while he was busy chasing the thief down. She knew he had to keep his book of spells somewhere.
As the queen rummaged, the Mad Hatter happened to waltz in looking for Mr. Gold. Not seeing him on the show room floor he poked his head inside and caught Regina pillaging. "Uh you're not Mr. Gold."
"And you're not what I was hoping to find." Regina scowled as she looked up from the drawers she was going through. "What do you want with Gold, Jefferson?"
"You first. What are you doing going through his things, Queen Regina?" He asked stepping fully into the room.
"Trying to find an answer. You're turn." She said dryly.
"Me too." He walked up toward her. "But you'll do. You enacted the curse, I was in a different world at the time, but my wife and little girl were in the Enchanted Forest. They were sucked into that damn curse of yours! I want them back! I don't give a damn about the others here, I just want them!" His hand wrapped around her throat as he slammed the queen against the book shelf.
Regina grabbed onto his wrist, trying to get him off. "If you choke the life out of me you won't ever get them back. It is my curse to break, afterall, and it's weakening. Even your Alice is starting to question her existence in this world."
Regina stepped closer, showing Jefferson she didn't fear him. "Your wife's friend. I've finally found what could be my happy ending. There's really no need for the curse anymore."
"Then break it. If she's your happy ending then let the others have theirs."
"I don't know how to. Not yet. That's what I was looking for. I think it's an inevitability that once I get my happy ending, the curse will break. That was the whole point of it."
His gazed softened "Happy endings usually consist of True Love, yes? So, is this the type of happy ending that's in store for you to break the curse?"
Regina nodded. "I think so, yes. We could help each other out, Jefferson. If this curse breaks, you get your wife and daughter back. And as long as I have Henry and Jane, then I'm happy. Help me find Gold's spell book."
He nodded. "If I help you, can I trust you not to have any hidden agenda that would hurt myself or others with this book?"
"Yes." Regina said looking into his eyes. "Although you said so yourself that you don't really care about anything but your own family. And I can assure you they won't be harmed."
"Yeah well, I'd rather not have anyone hurt but I couldn't care less if they were stuck in the curse. I just want my wife and daughter to remember me. So... thank you." With a nod Jefferson started to work on helping her find the spell book.
Once they had finally found it hidden amongst Gold's things, the pair parted ways, Regina with book in hand. She looked it over carefully as she sat waiting for Henry to get home, reading the bit about this particular curse over and over. She hid the book well before her son got home, giving him a hug when he did. "How was your stay with Emma?"
"It. Was. Awesome!" He grinned. "How was your night with Jane?" He asked innocently as he set his back down on the first step of the stairs.
Regina smiled as she looked down at her son. "I'd say the description you just used is appropriate. Jane and I had a very nice evening together." She pointed down to his bag. "Now go get your stuff put away and I'll make you some lunch."
"Okay." He smiled and trotted his bag up the stairs and into his bedroom. Once he put his things away, Henry came back downstairs and into the kitchen. "What did the two of you do?"
She had a feeling this question was coming. "Well, we ate," a lot, she thought, "and spent a lot of time just getting to know each other." In many ways.
Henry smiled. "I like the two of you together. I think Jane is good for you and you are good for her."
"Oh you do, huh?" Regina smiled and then focused on finishing his lunch. "And how exactly are we good for each other?" She asked, curious to hear it from a child's perspective.
"Mhm, You balance each other out. You've tamed her and she somehow tamed you. But in a good way."
"Tamed me?" Regina laughed. "What? Was I vicious before?" She set the food down in front of him and took a seat with her own.
"No but you were harder and didn't seem very happy before you gave her a chance. Maybe Jane is your happy ending, Mom." He smiled brightly.
"Maybe." Regina offered up a small smile. "We'll see. So what did you and Emma do yesterday?"
"We went to get ice cream at Granny's then walked through the woods and just talked. We hung out. It was fun." He smiled. "When are you and Jane going back out again?"
"I don't know. We didn't really set on a day. Just whenever we're both available." She took a sip of her water. "Maybe the next time we go out it can be the three of us since you and Jane get along so well."
Henry nodded excitedly. "Yeah! Maybe horse back riding again?" He asked before taking a bite of his lunch.
Regina smiled. "Absolutely. Maybe next weekend." She turned her attention to her food, poking at it as she thought.
"Hurry up!" Fallon yelled over her shoulder as she rode Sebastian through the woods. After a few more minutes they hit the clearing and trotted up to the middle of it. Dismounting Fallon smiled. "Got here just in time, Regina." She grinned and walked up to the edge of the cliff. Patting the spot next to her, Fallon looked up at her friend.
The sun was just starting to set on the horizon.
Regina took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of the field's flowers, and just took a moment to absorb everything. "It's beautiful." She smiled down at her friend and took a seat next to her. "I'm glad we get the chance to slip away from time to time."
Fallon smiled brightly and nodded. "Me too. I think I would go crazy cooped up there all the time."
"I'd go crazy if you weren't around. I swear, you're the only thing in this entire kingdom that helps keep me sane anymore." Regina bumped shoulders with Fallon playfully, though she meant it.
She chuckled. "Well I'm the honored I'm the only one that keeps you from going batty." Her head turned back toward the horizon and watched the sun set. "This is my favorite spot."
"I can see why." Regina smiled as she watched the light begin to fade. "It's very peaceful out here."
"We need to hurry or its going to spread!" Jane yelled over the flames in the forest. Her and one of her men held a hose and swept across the base of a few large flames.
"We need more support, boss! I don't know how much longer when can contain this fire!" Simon yelled out as he sprayed all the fire he could see.
"We don't have any more support!" She called over her shoulder. "Dirk! Get Wayne to spray the perimeter of the fire! Wet the rubbish to contain it!"
Looking back at her target she sprayed until her heart started to feel different. Tensing up, Jane slowly stopped moving her arms and before long, dropped to one knee.
"Jane!" Dirk had seen his friend and chief drop from where he stood and, shouting instructions to the man next to him, began to make his way around to her, kneeling down in front of the brunette and gently taking hold of her shoulders to shake her. "Jane, what's wrong?"
"My heart..." She groaned and put her head against his shoulder, as best as she could due to her helmet. "Don't worry... It'll pass. Containing this fire is more important."
"I'm not about to let you pass out on me or worse. I'm calling a medic." Dirk helped Jane up and to the truck, using the walkie to call out an ambulance despite his boss' protests.
"Dirk, damn it." She tensed again. "It'll pass. We can't afford to loose a fighter!"
"Just shut up, Rizzoli. The EMTS are on their way and I'm gonna get back on that fire. You, in the meantime, I want to stay right here." He pointed at her with a stern look. "I mean it. You move and I'll hunt you down."
When the man ran back to the fire, Jane pulled her helmet off and threw it on the ground. Her chest felt tight and Jane didn't know what was wrong or what was happening. What she did know was that she was becoming scared.
OMG! What's wrong with Jane's heart?!
Hehe keep reading to find out.
Oh! And REVIEW!
