Okay, now I'll shut up... here we go.
CHAPTER 7
"Could you babysit Henry tonight?"
The moment those words had left her lips, Regina'd felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.
There… she'd set Kathryn's plan into motion… she'd finally been able to bring herself to do it and is now extremely excited to watch it play out…
Of course Regina still has to keep Emma a while longer in the dark about the reason she needs a babysitter.
The reason that's actually a fake reason… and then she still has to see how Emma'll react to all of it…
But the fact that she's taken this first step means a whole lot already…
It means that she's seen something there… In Emma's look… In the blush on the girl's cheeks after Emma'd said something she'd thought was too bolt.
Well, it was bolt… and if Regina hadn't been startled at the time… she might have been able to react better to it…
But this… following this path that Kathryn had suggested she should take… this should be able to lead her to the truth as well.
Emma'd instantly been up for it.
"Of course! I'd love to spend more time with the kid!"
She'd really seemed excited to spend time with Henry which gave her some extra points in Regina's book. Not that she needed it at that point.
After that, Regina'd instantly texted Kathryn about the great news.
Emma is babysitting tonight…- Reg
I'm so proud of you Mills- Kat
I'll be at your place by 6 - Reg
Drive safely – Kat
You do realize I live across the hall… –Reg
Shhhht We're role playing babe! Wear something sexy ;) – Kat
At that Regina'd snorted loudly… drawing Emma's attention…
The girl had narrowed her eyes a little in question.. obviously wanting to know what had been so funny about whatever, whoever had texted Regina.
This pleased the brunette immensely of course. It seemed like the plan was already starting to work.
Perhaps in the end she'd even be thanking Kathryn… imagine that.
She'd also followed up on her friend's most recent request. To wear something sexy.
And damn. She'd put something on that practically oozed sex.
After spending over an hour getting ready… -Regina's hoping this will continue to make Emma suspicious-
she descends her newly cleaned staircase looking ready to be ravished. Emma's eyes go wide before she nervously averts them and awkwardly coughs.
Henry- ever the helpful boy- pats her back as to help her regain her normal breathing. Regina really has a hard time not breaking out into a huge smile.
Or well… a shit eaten grin really.
"Henry sweetheart… promise me you'll be a good boy for Emma… and go to bed when she tells you to."
She softly strokes his cheek and and gives him a look both sweet and stern.
"Yes mommy." Hen immediately nods decidedly.
"What will you be?"
"A good boy?" He cutely smiles and then even wider once his mother leans forward and covers his face with little kisses.
"I love you so much." She tells him in between planting her lips all over his face.
"I love you too mommy." He giggles.
"Thanks so much for doing this, Emma." Regina then turns her attention towards Emma,
who's been regarding the scene in front of her with a heart that's melting in awe due to the evident overdose of cuteness.
"Of course. Henry and I are going to have a great time." She happily beams.
"Whatever he may tell you… he's not allowed both ice cream and chocolate." Regina suddenly narrows her eyes at her little boy while telling Emma.
"Ah but it's Emma night." The blonde playfully whines and looks right at her boss's face and oh
the way it morphs into a slightly threatening expression is making her tingle in all the right- wrong?- places.
"Emma Swan…" Regina dangerously warns her.
"Of course, your Majesty." Emma slightly bows her head and gives Regina a reassuring, blushy smile.
"Okay. Anything else?" The brunette straightens out her posture and pouts her lips while making sure she's thought of everything.
"You look really… beautiful." Emma then softly tells her.
Their eyes meet and even though Emma is blushing feverishly at this point and she can practically taste her own heartbeat
she doesn't look away from Regina's big brown eyes that openly stare back at her.
Regina's just barely able to keep herself from asking her "You really think so?" then instead tells Emma. "Thank you, dear."
The blonde just smiles and nods then but it is obvious that's just because her mouth's much too dry to talk.
Regina feels like she's on top of the world.
But also… extremely nervous… This is it… this is the moment she is going to out herself and see Emma's reaction… This moment is going to be…
-and at this point she doesn't even care if she is being overly-dramatic or just a hopeless romantic- life altering.
Definitely a hopeless romantic. But well, it is what it is.
Her she goes…
"I really should get going then… I don't want to be late."
"No of course not."
Emma smiles, probably still convinced she's off to some kind of reception or opening but of course… that's exactly the purpose of Regina's next sentence.
To rectify that wrong assumption.
Thank god Henry seems completely consumed by his drawings. Surely, he would have asked unhelpful questions… no doubt…
"I shouldn't keep a lady waiting, should I?"
And she even manages to throw in a suggestive smile at the girl.
Regina can hardly believe the pride she feels towards herself in that moment.
Emma's face is priceless…
It had started with a little smile as if she was going to nod agreeingly
and then her blonde brows had scrunched up ever so slightly as her mouth fell open a bit.
Now it literally looks as if her brain is short-circuiting.
Oh yes the result is so very satisfying…
The penny has definitely dropped.
In a surge of confidence Regina then throws the girl a quick wink before making her way towards the door.
"Bye baby boy. Bye Emma."
"G'bye mommy!"
"Bye" Emma whispers.
Not that Regina hears it anymore…
But yes… Emma is having very conflicting feelings in that moment.
So Regina is going on a date… with a woman. So she's gay… and dating…
And the most perfect being Emma's ever had the chance of crossing paths with. Basically… Emma's screwed…
And even though she isn't religious at all… she prays to anyone up there… for this date Regina is going on… to be a complete disaster.
Less then five seconds later, the brunette woman finds herself in front of her date's door.
"She likes me." Regina rushes inside and immediately tells her friend.
And out of all the moments in her life she could have picked out to be calm and composed Kathryn seems to have chosen this one.
"Wine?" She casually moves towards the living room where… of course the house wine is chambrer-ing already.
(fancy way of saying the wine is adjusting to room temperature.)
"Did you hear what I just said? Kathryn, she likes me."
Regina moves towards her, finding it extremely irritating how her friend isn't immediately squealing in excitement as she should be.
"Red?" She just smiles in the brunette's direction while holding up the bottle and an empty glass.
"Kathryn!" Regina snaps with narrowed eyes.
"Honey, relax… sit down, let me pour us some drinks and you can tell me all about your girlfriend."
The blonde laughs and rolls her eyes at how cute Regina's being.
"Don't say that…" Regina blushes and bites her tongue…
She's really not going to let Kathryn jinx this… it's not because Emma likes her… which is now… pretty obvious… that the girl'd want to be her girlfriend…
She'd have to see how the rest of the night would play out, of course.
"We'll see." Kat smirks and hands her her first but most certainly not last glass of the evening.
"She looked jealous." Regina bites her lip and looks at her friend in obvious excitement.
"I told you she would. What made you finally go through with it? Don't get me wrong... I'm happy for you... but why now?"
Kathryn leans back against the couch… now ready to delve into Regina's story.
"I think I just… suddenly saw… the way she's nervous around me too…"
Regina seems to be thinking out loud… but yes… that's actually exactly what had made her do it. She'd seen…
"Of course she is."
"So, now what?" Regina sighs and swallows nervously at the prospect of going back home in a couple of hours.
"Now… we drink and we wait."
"Right." The brunette looks down at her glass before draining it in three big gulps.
"You look hot." Kathryn tells her truthfully.
"You think so?"
"I bet she hated to see you leave."
"Hmm… I hope so." Regina chuckles
"And I'm sure she'll love to see you coming."
Kathryn naughtily tells her and to her surprise the brunette just smiles a little instead of scolding her for being so crass.
"What do you think will happen when you go back?" She excitedly asks her.
"I think I'll… I don't know… you think I should make a move?" Regina worries her lower lip and looks at her friend for advice.
"If I think you should make a move? Honey you should throw her against the wall and fuck her already." Kathryn snorts loudly making Regina blush.
"Oh I just might." She chuckles nevertheless, now definitely impressing the blonde.
"Someone is on fire!" Kathryn's eyes shine with excitement of her own for her friend.
"She won't turn me down, will she?" Regina's confidence momentarily seems to crumble.
"No no no… Not this again… No doubting yourself! She wants you…"
"Oh god." Regina gulps at the mere thought and looks back down at her glass, finally allowing all of her feelings to come to the surface.
"You really like her, don't you?"
Regina nods slowly.
"What time do you think I should go back?"
"Past Henry's bedtime." Kathryn immediately says.
"Right. Yes."
"You don't want to scar the boy."
"Of course not."
"Refill."
"Of course."
"You're back. It's not even nine yet."
Emma jumps up from her comfortable position on the couch and reaches for the remote controller to turn the tv off.
"How marvelous, you can read a clock. How was Henry?"
Regina teases the girl, already enjoying being in the young woman's presence again.
"Awesome as always. Told him a bedtime story and he's sleeping soundly"
Regina nods, noticing how Emma said she told Henry a story, rather than read him one.
The boy has dozens of storybooks in his room, that Emma could have chosen a story or two from… but apparently the girl had opted to… tell him a story instead… Regina's curious nature leads her to wonder what it might have been about.
"Good. So" She starts to asks but Emma seems to have worked up the courage to say something herself.
"So how was your… date?"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh. I'm sorry, it's none of my business, is it?"
Regina doesn't reply, only chuckles while rolling her eyes at the blonde's obvious nervousness.
It's absolutely wonderful and she can't believe how incredibly perfect and according to plan all of this is going.
"What are you drinking?" She politely asks Emma.
"Just some water." The girl shrugs.
Tap, Regina silently figures.
"Do you want anything stronger?" She casually suggests hoping Emma will grab the bait and stay.
"I might…" Emma gets up and walks over to the kitchen area where Regina's standing.
"Apple cider?"
"Sure."
The girl has made a halt next to her now and is just waiting for her boss to hand her the drink.
"How come you're back so early from your date… She wasn't all what you'd expected?"
She carefully asks her, hoping she doesn't sound too creepy by wanting to hear all about this date.
"It wasn't really a date, Emma."
Regina smirks softly and eyes her while handing her a full glass of her own apple cider.
"Oh but I thought… Your dress and you said"
Emma takes it and murmurs while bringing the glass to her lips,
thankful to have something to busy herself with rather than just stand there and awkwardly fumble with her hands.
"I was just meeting Kathryn. Not a date."
Regina smiles and informs her while taking a delicate sip of her own drink.
"Oh… I'm sorry."
Emma blushes and continues to drink... not really registering the rather high alcohol content.
"That's okay. You look disappointed." Regina carefully searches the girl's face... A small smile gracing her face as she bites her lip softly.
Emma's eyes avoid hers and she snorts nervously while leaning back against the kitchen counter. Searching for something to ground her.
The apple cider seems to be quickly making it's way into her system, much like Regina Mills has... since day one.
"What? No… I mean… as long as you had fun it doesn't matter, right?"
She shakes her head warily and shrugs, failing to look casual, fueling Regina's confidence. The older woman tilts her head to the side.
Brushing away a strand of her own hair as she continues to study the emotions flashing across Emma's almost painfully beautiful face.
"Why do you look disappointed?"
She hoarsely asks. The distance between them is questionable. It could be considered socially acceptable for friends... yes.
But with the lingering tension and the unspoken feelings between them, both women find the slight proximity absolutely mind reeling.
"I don't look disappoi" Emma shakes her head.
"Is it because you were hoping for me to find someone to share my life with?" Regina suggest with a hint of wit to her tone.
Emma's eyes flicker towards hers in confusion. She narrows them a little and hesitates when saying
"I don't" well, she's not really sure what she's saying really.
"No? Okay… euhm perhaps because you were hoping I'd be home later so you could watch Netflix all night?"
Regina secondly suggests... Now grinning a little and this time Emma smiles and rolls her eyes before locking them onto the brunette's.
"Of course not." She tells her.
"Of course not."
Regina grins a little wider, knowing that her next words might render the girl speechless once again and already feeling so ready for that moment to take place.
All too happy that Emma's big green eyes have finally found their focus on her again she goes in for the kill
"Okay so maybe because you're disappointed I might not be gay after all?" Her own eyes shine confidently in expectation.
"No" Emma smiles "I" only then registers Regina's exact words, falters entirely and stammers "wh-what?"
Her tone is high and cute and her jaw is low and slacked.
"Because if that's it… I can assure you… I am a lesbian."
Regina smiles... a little less teasing now, but still entirely seductive.
"Why are you telling me that?"
Emma whispers, still leaning against the kitchen counter though her upper body seems to have unconsciously gravitated closer towards the older woman in front of her.
Emma's suddenly rather aware of her own position and the fact that her breaths have turned awfully labored.
It's not clear if Regina's aware of it but at least she doesn't seem to mind.
"Because… I was hoping you'd care." And this time her voice cracks just a little and her vulnerability shows. Regina blushes the moment she's says it.
"You" Emma's clueless what is giving her the courage but she finds herself lunging forward and quite literally taking Regina's breath away by softly,
so very gently... capturing her soft, red lips.
Regina softly sighs against her mouth and sweetly takes a hold of the sides of Emma's shirt,
holding on for dear life because it honestly feels as if the ground beneath her feet is gone and she's floating rather than standing.
Their noses brush along with parted lips.
Their kiss remains dry for the longest time, neither of them willing to cross the other's boundaries right now.
Regina's fists draw Emma's frame against her own by pulling her in and Emma's own trembling hands find their way to the brunette's hips.
The lack of distance between them makes Emma's senses go wild and in that same moment she starts to panic.
As gently as she can manage, she draws back from her intimate moment with Regina.
The latter reluctantly allows the parting but nevertheless whines a little that it has to happen.
Emma blushes feverishly and chuckles hoarsely as Regina looks at her with narrowed eyes while cutely groaning.
"Where do you think you're going?" The woman pouts.
Emma smiles wide and then it all happens really fast.
Regina's eyes glaze over with hunger, Emma's breath catches and she's pushed onto the counter as the brunette stands between her legs,
pressing herself against Emma's upper body.
The blonde's brain is fried instantly as Regina's eager hands run up and down her thighs.
Regina's lips are back on her own as this time, she slowly drags her tongue along Emma's pink lower lip, gently requesting her for access.
Emma, being only human, opens her mouth willingly and allows her boss's hot tongue to stroke her own... to taste and discover her.
And oh fucking hell... the woman is so fucking skilled at it too.
"You're so hot." Regina groans against her lips.
"Oh my god." Emma breathes out and pinches her eyes closed.
The girl moans freely once, before panicking again. Oh no… she can't let this go any further… not if she doesn't want to freak the brunette out…
"Regina." She shakes her head a little and swallows hard while placing her hands on the woman's shoulders while gently pushing her away.
"No. Sssht Emma… This isn't a mistake… it's good…" Regina's voice is laced with emotion and desperation... Please don't let Emma regret this...
"Don't worry… I agree… it's amazing." The girl instantly soothes her worries while cupping her face and admiring her flawlessness.
"Good." Regina nods and blushes before leaning in again and gleefully smirking
"you know Emma, you taste so good. I can't wait to taste"
"Thank you..." Emma pulls away quickly and nervously stammers "I mean... you… taste amazing too… but I should go."
"Why?" This time it's Regina who draws back. Her face is scrunched up in confusion but her grip on Emma's thighs is just as tight and possessive as before.
"Because it's… I might be able to catch a train if I leave now." Emma clears her throat, her voice still thick with desire.
"You're thinking about the train." Regina slowly says and looks at her as if she suddenly grew to extra heads. She's kidding, right? She has to be...
"It's either that or a cab."
The blonde purses her lips, hating the fact that she's probably making Regina feel insecure about what just happened between them. But it has to be like this...
There's no other way... She couldn't possibly
"Emma… you can stay…" that.
Regina softly tells her.
Those hands of hers slowly creeping their way up towards the waistband of her jeans.
Jeans that feel so fucking tight Emma's not sure if she'll make it home without having to loosen them.
She's extremely grateful that Regina's eyes are so transfixed on her own... Imagine them wandering off towards the girl's center...
Emma's not sure but it might not be a pretty sight. Most likely isn't.
"I" She bites her tongue, unable to come up with a good excuse as to why she can't actually stay...
There really is no logic reason... Were it not for...
"I'd actually like it if you stayed… the night… with me."
The brunette smiles and raises a seductive eye brow while hooking her fingers in the waistband of Emma's pants, before gently tugging at the fabric...
Making it abundantly clear what exactly staying the night would entail.
Emma can't help but moan, groan and bite her lip as the woman is making her smile and blush like a teenager that's about to experience their first sexual encounter. It's just that the cock between her legs is blushing just as wildly... and see, that is a problem.
"Oh I'd love to stay… I'd really really love to stay."
She nods multiple times, really needing for Regina to believe these words... she'd love to stay... She'd do anything to just be able to stay.
"Yeah? Why don't you show me how much you'd love to stay?"
Regina grins and slips her hands around Emma's waist underneath her shirt. Her hands are so delicate and soft...
They seem to be melting Emma's already heated skin... Their flesh tingles against the other's beautifully and both realize it's never quite felt like this.
They haven't.
"But I need to go." Emma reluctantly groans though, and she even hates herself for it. But she has to.
"Emma… does this make you uncomfortable?"
Regina really draws back now. Physically distancing herself from the girl by taking a step backwards "because I don't want"
"No…" Emma is quick to interrupt her and jumps up from her position on the counter until they're sharing the same air again.
Feeling how her groin threatens to get too close to Regina's she swallows and subtly keeps her hips as far away as she can manage without stepping away... She really doesn't want Regina to think she doesn't absolutely want to be as close as possible.
"I mean… I am a little uncomfortable because I wish that I could stay… with you… But I…"
she struggles to think of something acceptable to say...
"it's too soon."
Regina sighs and tugs a strand of golden hair behind Emma's left ear.
"Emma we've been flirting for weeks, haven't we?"
Emma bites her lip and smiles.
"That's yeah… I was hoping that was that…."
"It was… but okay… you want to wait?" Regina checks again, her disappointment still evident.
"I think… it'd be best… I wanna make sure this is what you want."
Her own hands move towards Regina's sides again.
The need for her to be in contact with the other woman seems to be strong and impossible to ignore.
She softly strokes her, in an effort to confirm her feelings towards the older brunette.
"You don't have to worry about me, Emma. I'm a grown woman… I know what I want." Regina raises her eyebrows and firmly tells the girl.
"Right. But… there might be things about me you don't know yet and you'll regret not knowing before we go any further."
Emma then tells her and sucks in a sharp breath. Like... Maybe you won't be the biggest fan of my penis.
Maybe you might want to know about that before we get it on... Maybe I should fake my own death before you ever get the chance of finding out.
"You want us to get to know each other better." Regina nods and does understand how that might not be the most terrible idea. As much as she'd like to just have her way with the girl right now.
"I want to learn all about you." Emma nods as well and offers her a convinced smile. While leaning her face a little closer towards her again.
Making sure to keep her groin at a safe distance.
"I want to learn all about you too. And I'm sure there's nothing that'll turn me off there… but okay… if that's what you want."
Regina chuckles and shrugs her shoulders, allowing their lips to meet again. Quickly and sweetly.
"Trust me I'm having a hard time leaving you tonight… " Emma chuckles and inwardly face palms herself at her own choice of words.
"Yes, but it's what you want… so you don't get to complain."
Regina matter of factly points out for her and raises an eyebrow that Emma's sure will one day be the death of her.
"Not what I want… what my responsible side tells me should happen."
Emma is quick to correct her and raises a blonde-slightly less threatening- eyebrow of her own.
"And what does your horny side tell you, Emma?"
Regina confidently teases her with gleaming eyes and a huge grin gracing her lips.
One of her hands is suddenly playing with the little hairs on the back of Emma's neck while the other is practicing light pressure on her heaving chestbone, placed strategically between Emma's hyper sensitive breasts. Long delicate fingers draw teasing circles on Emma's modest cleavage.
The girl gulps and chuckles softly, unable to stop herself from smiling bashfully at Regina's soft and sexy approach.
"It's kind of speechless… Oooohmm" The older woman's lips seem to have found their way back on her as well.
This time in the crook of her neck as they're testing if Emma's squeamish when softly sucked there...
She is... Regina's got the girl whimpering high and hornily in mere milliseconds.
"There really isn't a way for me to convince you to stay and continue this upstairs… is there?"
She murmurs sweetly against the hot, though goosebump covered, skin.
Emma's mind seems to be all over the place at the moment though... Well, truthfully she's fully focused on her own throbbing sex.
She's doing her very best to keep her own body under control. If Regina's not careful she's going to cause her to blow her load on the spot.
It's one thing to try and hide a a ragging erection but to hide an undoubtedly large cum stain... Just no... She'd rather die than have to explain that…
So no, she doesn't reply right away.
"Is there?" Regina's excited, hopeful eyes find hers.
"No… no… as much as I'd love to… It's not the right time." Emma quickly recovers with a voice laced with sex.
"Hmm. Okay…" Regina pouts and nods, pushes Emma's hair out of her face and softly gives her a sweet peck on her mouth before releasing her.
Emma sighs and tries to smile and not appear entirely frustrated.
"So euhm… I'll see you on Monday…" she says and then clears her throat, embarrassed at how very husky she's sounding.
"I'll be looking forward to it." Regina chuckles and nods.
"Me too."
The girl puts on her jacket, grabs her scarf and hat and is ready to leave and let the chill night air help cool her off.
It's almost the perfect plan... Almost.
Until Regina steps up behind her and nuzzles her neck affectionately. The older woman's front is pressed entirely against her own back.
Her butt feels hot against Regina's warm and welcoming groin.
And those hands again... they slide underneath Emma's jacket from behind, trace the girl's form with great care until they hotly rest on her hips and dig into her weak, denim covered flesh in a way their pressure can be felt in the girl's most intimate of places.
"Regina I" she sighs and then her voice stops working.
As Regina's lips sweetly suck against the side of her neck where she can reach sensitive skin.
And Emma just loses it. She's already dying from embarrassment when she feels her boxers grow sticky and wet.
She wills herself to not buck into the brunette's hold as she rushes through her quick and silent orgasm.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god and she actually hates herself for envisioning what she does behind closed eye lids because she's actually imagining fucking Regina. Just for a split second... and really... How could she not? With all of her senses being so fucking overwhelmed by the woman.
Her softness, heat, voice, scent, energy...
"I'm really glad you kissed me. Even though I'd have liked more... but I'm very happy tonight happened. I find you so exciting, Emma."
The woman tells her truthfully while Emma's slowly coming down from her shameful high that she so desperately hopes went by unnoticed by her boss.
"Oh Regina… you've no idea what you do to me…"
She softly says... because honestly... Regina really has no idea...
"I can't wait to find out." The latter grins against the side of Emma's blushy cheek.
"Hmm"
:D So who of you thought Regina was going to find out in this chapter? ^^
Honestly... even I did for a moment :p
Have a great week!
