A/N: So here's the second chapter that I promised for not updating. This piece goes well with the piano cover of 'Stay With Me' by YourPianoCover, but the original by Sam Smith is wonderful as well! I hope you enjoy this piece.- Kapu.
Prompt: Swan Queen based on the song 'Stay With Me.'
Regina was out of town on a business trip that had thankfully ended quickly, because the brunette was a tad tired.
She had sped to her 5-star hotel having a one night stand waiting for her. Regina didn't do one night stands often, but when she did, she took quite an advantage of them.
Seeing the blonde named Emma, the Mayor couldn't help but to think it was love at first sight (that was rare to happen with her.) The blonde woman upon seeing Regina, had practically dashed to said woman and had started knocking it off with the brunette. The two had been flirting over drinks and Emma had asked if Regina was on some kind of business trip - she was still in her button down and pantsuits - and had asked if she would mind her going to her hotel room. Regina had thought about it and in seeing no harm in it, she had said yes, but the brunette still couldn't shake the feeling of that love at first sight scenario. The Mayor was already falling for this woman because of her charming smile and bright, emerald eyes.
Regina shook her head at the memory, feeling her heart hammering simply by thinking about the woman. The regal brunette couldn't help but smile at the emotion flooding through her heart and body.
Regina smirked as the hotel floated into her view, but she couldn't help feel the knot of nervousness deep in her stomach - even though Emma was blunt with asking for a one night stand.
Once Regina had parked her Mercedes, she jog-walked to the entrance of the hotel. The knot in the Mayor's stomach grew as she reached the elevator to take to her room, stepping inside it, Regina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She willed her courage to come to her, and with a bit of difficulty, confidence went into her. The tangle of nerves in her stomach slowly dissipated.
Making it to her room, Regina opened the bright white door, swiping the card to unlock it. She glided in, and the light of the shining moon shone through the window, the curtains having been drawn back. As soon as the door shut, the brunette was immediately crushed against a flush body with lips against hers, she moaned as a tongue instantly invaded her mouth. Dropping her purse, Regina was led to the bed by the beautiful Emma, whose hands were eager, and by the time Regina realized it, she was pressed into the sheets. The warm, muscular body against the Mayor's made the woman distracted and lose awareness of her surroundings.
Soon the two women moved into the steamy night.
Regina's heart ached as she returned to Storybrooke from Boston. She knew the blonde wasn't going to be there in the morning, but she couldn't help but hope. As she predicted, Emma wasn't there when she awoke. Regina let out a pained sigh, she couldn't let that control her so easily. The Mayor blinked sternly, she would make herself believe that one night stand with the blonde was nothing.
Emma had visited Regina, and soon she had the visit steered to the bedroom. Regina groaned loudly and she was glad she had sent Henry to hang out with his friends. Switching their positions, the brunette kissed Emma down to her neck and bit down on the soft flesh, making Emma moan loudly.
Within seconds, the two women were stripped of their clothing and touching everywhere.
It seemed like a passionate night between to lovers, but only one would notice.
The cold, empty spot beside Regina swam into her view and she let a tear slip down her cheek. Sorrow engulfed her entire being, and the broken Mayor buried her face into her pillow, and let a grief-stricken scream into it. Her whole body was shaking with her agony and heartache, and she couldn't control the swirling emotions inside of her.
Why was Regina so emotional? Was she going to start her period? She was never this emotional with one night stands - but with Emma's they were different - the only emotional she has ever gotten was with her late fiancé and Henry. This scene clearly matched the one when she had heard her fiancé, Daniel, had died in that horrible car accident. She was suffering that heartache from years ago but with an entirely different scenario.
Emma had come again that night, claiming that this would be their last one night stand. After the blonde had made that clear, she had proceeded to kiss Regina and to shut the door. Making sure Regina wanted this, Emma carried the brunette up the stairs, their mouths hotly molded together.
This night again was like a passionate between two lovers, but this time one would surely notice.
Regina also couldn't help think the night didn't go as planned - with Emma it didn't. The brunette couldn't figure out why they never did, but she was content to lay next to the warm body of Emma's.
Regina wasn't good at one night stands with Emma - that was true, but the brunette still needed love. She was still human. Regina swallowed thickly as she turned her head to look at Emma. The brunette could tell Emma was up, but the blonde was staring up at the ceiling. Regina sighed internally, and the Mayor riled up all her courage to do what she was going to do. It was time to.
Regina tentatively intertwined her fingers with Emma's, "Stay with me, Emma," the Mayor sighed pain filling her heart "You're all I need." She breathed out, waiting for the blow that would completely break her. Regina felt the blonde tense but squeezed the brunette's hand nonetheless. Emma turned her body to face Regina's, tears filling her eyelids and spilling over her cheeks. The blonde met chocolate eyes and she grabbed Regina's other hand. She then held both hands in her own, and with a deep breath she exhaled slowly and after a few seconds of silence she spoke, "I'm sorry for running, Regina. I just didn't know how to face this." Emma choked out as she let more tears slip and she felt a forehead press against hers.
Opening her eyes, Emma saw a watery smile on Regina's face, "It's fine, Emma. At least you're here now." The brunette soothed the blonde, her hand moving out of Emma's and cupping her cheek.
Emma smiled back, her heart warming, "I won't run anymore, Regina. I promise." Her voice was just above a whisper and she pressed her lips gently against the Mayor's to seal her promise.
The two were willing to stay together, and with a few more kisses to two fell asleep in each other's arms, waiting for their morning together and to finally, truly wake up with the other.
