Chapter 5

There was an unspoken agreement between blonde and brunette as Regina magicked the door locked. With their kiss deepening Emma found herself to be shuffling backwards towards the couch, never letting go of Regina's hips as she moved.

Regina's right hand came up to brush away some of the blondes mane. Now that she could see Emma up close she wasn't disappointed. The young woman was utterly beautiful. Her face was filled with lightness, one Regina hadn't noticed when she first met Emma. Her eyes were an elegant shade of green, not as dark as the forest floor but not as light as a four leaf clover.

Emma had connected with the couch and effectively fell into it, pulling Regina on top of her. The older woman pulled away from the kiss and smirked as she felt Emma's hands slide up her side. "Mm, Princess? You do realize we have to get out of our dresses do you not? That's an easier feet when standing."

"We have magic." Emma said by way of explanation.

Regina laughed, fully and happily. They did have magic, the Princess was right. But there was a nagging part of the Queen that wanted to take things slow.

Without saying it Emma seemed to sense the other woman's nervousness. She let stray fingers touch Regina's cheek. "We'll go slow." she whispered. Both trying to ease Regina's fears and her own.

Regina stood and extended a hand to Emma who took it gratefully. The blonde turned when Regina made a spinning motion with her fingers and within minutes, Emma's dress was undone along with her corset.

As she set to work on freeing Regina from her dress Emma couldn't miss the scars lining the woman's back. They looked to be mostly old, though some were clearly fresh. She couldn't help but wonder who hurt Regina.

Both women faced each other, holding their dresses against the front of their bodies almost shyly. Emma, never the one to back down, stepped closer to Regina. The brunettes breath caught as Emma dropped her dress to the ground.

What Regina saw was a masterpiece on a body. Soft skin that seemed to be glowing if that was possible, ample breasts that Emma was unashamed to let Regina see. And those legs! Long and muscular, completely void of even the tiniest bit of hair.

Regina licked her lips as she too dropped her dress, magicking them across the room to be draped over chairs. It was Emma's turn to admire the beauty before her. Regina's arms were toned, even after all that time in the sleeping curse. The woman hadn't aged a day, so her being just a few years older than Emma definitely helped keep her body looking as it did.

Regina saw Emma's eyes dart everywhere across her body and she smiled to to herself. "Are you just going to stand there gawking?" the woman asked huskily.

That was all of an invite Emma needed. She closed what little space there was between them and kissed the brunette. Emma tasted, of all things, apples when her lips met Regina's. Apples and cinnamon. Not a tart apple or anything, but rather sweet. Especially with that hint of cinnamon.

Regina on the other hand tasted nothing but sunlight as she kissed the Princess. Well, sunlight wasn't exactly it. She tasted the light, something she hadn't known in many, many years. So she rejoiced in it. Tangling her fists in golden locks of hair Regina basked in the light Emma was infusing her with. Even if it was only with a kiss.

Emma backed them up again to the couch, gently lowering herself down this time. As Regina straddled her, Emma had time to confront a fear that she had never let take true form before. She had never been with a woman before. There had been Neal- once on her seventeenth birthday. That had been disastrous. But now with Regina she was in uncharted territory.

As if sensing Emma's fear Regina pulled herself away from the kiss. She looked adoringly into Emma's eyes and whispered, "You took care of me before. Now let me take care of you."

Emma nodded carefully, as if scared to move, to breathe with Regina on top of her in such a precarious position. Regina's right hand came up to cup the Princess's cheek as she kissed Emma painstakingly slow. The build up she knew, would be far better than rushing things. For both of them.

Emma had died and gone to heaven. At least that's how she felt when Regina's mouth found her neck, her throat. While the woman's hands roamed her taut stomach muscles a shiver of arousal coursed through Emma.

When Regina latched onto Emma's nipple an audible moan could be heard coming from the blonde. Chuckling softly Regina smiled and sent out, with her left hand, a soundproof barrier around the room they were in. Detaching from one of her new favorite things Regina looked at Emma seriously. "I've cast a silencing spell around the room. We're alone here, we won't be heard."

Emma blushed at the implications of what Regina had said. She was noisy and Regina didn't want them getting caught.

Regina resumed sucking at Emma's nipples as the blondes hands found the woman's thighs. Creating soft circles against them seemed to keep Emma's vocality under control for the time being. That is until the Queen's hand snaked between the blondes legs.

The blonde let out a shudder at the contact. Warmth was spreading through her limbs as Regina rubbed circles into the Princess, Emma was starting to see stars. "Gina please." she whimpered.

Faltering only at the use of the nickname no one had ever called her, Regina pressed two fingers into Emma's core. The effects were instantaneous. Emma bucked, forcing Regina's fingers further inside her than they had been originally. The mewl that she let loose would have been enough to alert anyone within a five mile radius of the room. Thank the Gods for magic.

As Regina's fingers weaved their magic inside of Emma the young woman had ideas of her own. Pushing her fears aside Emma's hands went to cup Regina's breasts. Slightly startled at the touch Regina relaxed into the hands that were the Princess's as Emma started to massage the Queen's breasts gently.

Emma had begun to pant and writhe against Regina, and when her climax hit she pinched Regina's nipples so deliciously hard the older woman moaned with her.

Floating on a cloud Emma dazed and starry eyed kiss Regina, savoring the taste of apples and cinnamon. That was until a knock on the door sounded, breaking the cocoon of peace the two women were in.

"Emma? Regina? It's Snow, may I come in?"

Emma's eyes widened in fear as Regina magicked their dresses back into place and unlocked the door.

When Snow White stepped inside she could tell something was amiss, just not what.
