A/N: Perhaps Killian's plan is working a little too well. A second date is on the menu but so is something unexpected.
I hope you are all enjoying this little Cross Over AU. I appreciate all your lovely comments and likes.
Chapter 5: The Ugly Truth
Emma strode into the office on Monday morning as if she were on a cloud. She couldn't wait to find Ruby and tell her about her date with Graham. She still couldn't believe that he actually liked her even after the beer debacle. She also still couldn't believe how right Killian's tactics had been. She dropped her bag on her desk and walked out to meet Ruby backstage with her head held high smiling at everyone she saw.
Ruby waved her over smiling."Emma over here! I want details about your date! Spill it!"
She went through every excruciating detail of the date including her complete and utter embarrassment over rubbing Graham's crotch furiously in front of the cameras for the whole stadium to see. She excluded the parts about Killian helping her of course but Ruby was satisfied with the level of detail she provided. She wasn't about to tell anyone about her deal with him.
"So you thought it was over?"asked Ruby scrunching her nose.
"Yes, it was Tap Water coming back to haunt me. I resigned myself to believing that a single date was all I was getting. Just when I admitted defeat he surprised me. He pulled me in for the most wonderful kiss. I swear my lips were tingling for an hour after."
"Oh Emma, I'm so happy for you. I can't believe the perfect man moved right across from you. You are so lucky!" said Ruby hugging her tight.
"Thank you."
"That makes what I have to tell you easier. I took you up on your advice and I called Victor. He and I have been dating for about a week now. You were right. He is perfect for me."
"Really? I'm so happy for you. I should have known the way you were drooling over his profile that I should have begged off and let you have him right away."
Ruby rolled her eyes and smiled. The two women grabbed hands and started jumping up and down in a circle squealing like school girls at the fact that they both had amazing prospects.
Killian, Mary-Margaret, and David walked by with odd looks slashing across their face at the site of their celebratory dance. The pair composed themselves and went back to work. The show was set to air in twenty minutes and the crew was assembling.
Killian observed Emma and Ruby acting like children jumping up and down near the stage. He could only assume she was telling Ruby about her date with Graham. He frowned at the thought of her dating that ponce.
"I wonder what that was all about?" asked Mary-Margaret.
"Beats me." Said David pulling her in and kissing her on her cheek.
"What's gotten into you? Not that I'm complaining. "asked Mary-Margaret.
"Nothing but I know something that wants to get into you later." He teased.
"David! Killian's right there." she said with a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"Don't mind me Mate. Just glad I could help." said Killian smiling.
David clapped him on the back and moved to sit in his seat behind the desk next to Mary-Margaret.
For this segment he was dressed in a large ape costume. He had his mask in his hand and sat it on the desk in front of him. He was mentally preparing for the discussion about how monkeys use sex as a means to make up after a fight. That was generally his tactic as well when he'd had a fight with a lady. The makeup sex was always something to look forward to.
He looked up and saw Emma walking into the control booth. She had a big smile on her face. It seemed he was helping everyone in the studio smile. He wanted to pat himself on the back. This was just more proof he knew what he was doing. But there it was, he had that little pit in his stomach when he saw her. He licked his lips and took a sip of water from the glass in front of him.
She noticed him staring and looked down giving him the thumbs up. He put his ear piece in and gave her the thumbs up back.
"Killian, just stick to the script ok?"
He smiled."Swan, I've got this."
"Thank you again for your help."
He looked up and nodded. She was smiling back at him and he couldn't help but watch her becoming lost in his thoughts of her.
"I said Are you ready Killian?" asked Mary-Margaret.
" Aye." said Killian.
3. 2. 1. We're on the air….
She stood back watching the segment. Killian was dressed in an ape costume talking about monkeys and how they have sex as a means to make up after a fight. He was so passionate when he spoke. She had to admit that he was captivating even if he was talking about sex and monkeys. His eyes sparkled under the lights too. Damn him and his beautiful eyes.
"Emma, small person on set." said Ruby. She turned around and saw a little boy entering the back stage area. He was wearing a visitor's badge intently watching the set while the monkeys were having sex on screen. She was mortified and quickly walked to deter his eyes.
"Excuse me, this show isn't for children. I can't let you watch."
"No, it's ok. I know him."
She looked towards the stage."Um, OK."
Killian was wrapping up his segment when he saw Emma talking to Henry on the side of the stage. Once he got over the shock of seeing the boy he quickly walked over to join them. "Hey, Henry! What are you doing here? I told you no watching the show. Especially live lad." He ruffled his hair like always.
"I need some emergency advice. Molly asked me to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Is it dorky if I say yes?"
Emma stood off to the side listening to their conversation intently. She knew she was eavesdropping but this was fascinating. She needed to know who this boy was to Killian. She wondered if he was a son that he failed to mention. She also wondered why the thought of him having a son bothered her so much.
"Dorky? Bloody Hell No! You're ahead of the game. The lasses are coming to you. Do you know how cool that is lad? Relish this moment. Now get out of here before your mother has my hide. I'll see you at 5. We'll celebrate." The boy looked up and smiled as he ruffled his hair again.
Emma smiled. He was very sweet to the boy and he wasn't his normal egotistical self when he talked to him. It seemed Killian Jones had some morals after all. Why did this surprise her so much?
"Ok, don't forget the pizza King Kong."
He smiled back waving him off."Hey, have I ever?"
He saw Emma waiting in the wings and walked over to meet her. She had an inquisitive look on her face.
"He lives with you?"
"Well, next door. With my sister. He's my nephew."
"Oh." said Emma nodding. She didn't know why that information made her feel better but it did knowing the boy wasn't his.
He pointed to the back of his costume and grinned. "Do me?"
"HaHa very funny." She spun him around and untied the strings on the back.
He turned back to see her grinning. "So guess what. Graham called and he wants to get together again."
He grinned, realizing that his tactics worked. "Is that so?"
She sat down in the empty director's chair next to him as he continued to pull off his costume. He finally freed himself and noticed she seemed to have a far away glance on her face.
"So How long should I wait to have sex with him?"
Killian looked at her with wide eyes. "Well the more you make him beg for it the longer you keep him on the hook. So I would do everything else but. When you finally do it show him that underneath that control freak exterior there is a sexual deviant that is waiting to be unleashed."
She shook her head. "No, no, I'm not a sexual deviant. "
"Let me guess lass, you've been out of practice for what a year?"
Emma thought about it putting the pencil to the side of her head. "Hmmm, No, 11 months."
He pushed her to the side away from lurkers passing by."Gods lass, 11 months? How do you live? Come on a beautiful woman such as yourself can't surely have been out of touch for that long."
She felt a blush creep over her cheeks."No, that's right. I just haven't found anyone worth it."
His eyes flicked down below her waist and back up to her eyes."So how often do you?"
"Do what?"
"You know a… flick the bean?"
"What bean?"
He pinched his fingers together in front of her face."The bean. Down there. You know flick it."
She swat him on the arm."OOOOH , that is gross. That's what you call it. What is wrong with you?"
He grinned, his blue eyes captured that mischievous look again."I call it masturbating but I thought that might offend your delicate ladylike sensibilities."
Ruby walked up in the middle of their conversation and gave her a strange look. Emma was shaking her head. She just kept walking leaving them to their conversation.
He whispered in her ear. "So how often do you masturbate? How often do you flick it?"
She leaned up and whispered back. "I don't know. How often do you flick it?"
He grinned. "Now Swan, you are only asking me how often I flick mine so you can picture me flicking mine, while you are flicking yours."
She shook her head feeling a little flustered. "No, I would never picture you while I do that. Which is not something I would do; I would never do that ever."
"Yes you would."
"Nuh uh, never."
"Yes, you would."
She sighed."No, I find it impersonal."
"Swan, what could be more personal than flicking your bean."
"God, Look I just don't see myself that way."
He moved her towards a quieter location."Well I do. Come here."
"What?"
He looked into her glittering green eyes. "If you don't see yourself as the sexual goddess you are why would Graham ever want to? You need to start thinking of yourself that way."
She blinked from the intensity of his gaze. This was definitely something she would have to think about. Maybe he was right again. She nodded.
He grinned. "Good, now get back to work and stop thinking about me."
She rolled her eyes and nodded. She watched him walk away with a swagger in his step. She was starting to think he really liked messing with her. She head back to her office to work for the rest of the day, she was not thinking of Killian Jones.
She actually got home at a decent hour so she could relax before her date with Graham that night. She had on her loose fitting pants, a white sweater and pair of fuzzy slippers. Killian was right. She did need to start thinking of herself in a more sensual way. If she was going to look the part she had to act the part too. Part of being confident is loving who you are, so maybe a little self exploration was required.
Her doorbell rang shaking her out of her thoughts. She picked up Baelfire because she didn't need another tree incident right now or another litter of kittens. Damn cat was always trying to get out. She pulled open the door and found a black gift bag with purple tissue paper poking out of the top sitting on her welcome mat. She grabbed the bag from the mat but whoever left it was no longer in sight.
She sat on the couch placing Baelfire down next to her and pulled the card from the top.
"What is this?"
"MEOW"
The card had a picture of a monkey on the front. Inside there was a message.
This present is not for you! It's for your bean! XO Killian
She smiled, opened the bag and found a box labeled Astrea 1. There were a pair of black lacy panties that held a vibrator in the crotch. They came with a separate remote control to control the vibration settings. She was intrigued but she needed to get ready for her date and didn't have time to explore herself right now so she put it back into the bag.
She showered, got dressed and pulled her hair up into a loose chignon with curly tendrils hanging down on the sides. She decided on a form fitting white dress that was belted at the waste and low cut in the front showing off her cleavage as Killian suggested. She put on her earrings and noticed the blinking light indicating a missed message.
Running Late - Graham
"Damn" she sighed.
She poured herself a glass of white wine and sat down to wait. She got a crazy thought and decided to put on the vibrating underwear. Maybe a little self exploration was in the cards. What could it hurt? She swapped her regular cotton panties for the vibrating panties. They felt like regular panties so far there wasn't anything out of the ordinary about them. She picked up the remote control and then the doorbell rang.
"He said he was running late. What is he doing here already?"
She picked up her discarded underwear and the box from the vibrating panties, tucking them under a cushion on the couch. She grabbed her purse and shoved the mini remote in there to hide it. She put a smile on her face and opened the door. It was Killian and Robin both dressed in suit and tie.
Killian had on a dark blue suit and a light blue button up shirt with a paisley waistcoat buttoned up over top. He looked really dashing. Robin was wearing a brown suit with a white shirt and had his tie barely tied. She guessed he was on Dad duty earlier.
"Good you're ready. Let's go." said Killian clapping his hands.
Gods she looked beautiful. He wasn't sure how he was going to get through the evening knowing that he gave her those vibrating panties now. He wondered if she liked them or tossed them in the trash straight away.
She raised an eyebrow in a confused look."Ready for what?"
"Ready for dinner with Corporate. Didn't you get my email?" said Robin.
"No, and I can't I have a date with Graham."
"You can't go because you have a date? What?"asked Robin.
Killian gave her a sideways glance."You have no idea how hard it is for her to get one."
Emma rolled her eyes.
"Then let's pick him up on the way." said Robin.
Emma nodded. "Ok, just give me one second."
"Swan you look perfect. Come on Let's go. We're going to be late."
She looked over at the cushion hiding her regular underwear but was tugged by the arm to come now. She sighed and pulled the door shut behind them following them out to the car. She hoped Graham would understand. She did feel it might be a little early to be dragging him to a dinner with her co-workers but he was the perfect man so she was sure he would be fine with it.
She sat in the backseat behind Robin and couldn't help but notice that Killian kept taking glances at her. She kept quiet knowing that he sent her the special underwear that she actually dared to put on. She kept smiling all the way to get to Graham even though she felt a bit of tension on the way.
Graham looked really nice. He was wearing a grey suit with a white shirt underneath. His hair was coiffed perfectly as usual. He slid in the seat next to her grabbing her hand and smiling. Robin took off knowing they were going to be late pushing them all back against the seats as he hit the gas.
"Running late you know." said Robin shrugging.
"Sorry to hijack your date, Mate." said Killian.
"No bother. You're a producer too?"asked Graham.
"No, I'm the talent." said Killian smiling.
"So, ah so you're an anchor then." said Graham.
"No, I do The Ugly Truth." said Killian.
"Hasn't he ever seen our show?"asked Robin.
"Come on Robin, our show is way too low brow for Graham. He's a doctor." said Killian.
Emma glared at him from the backseat. "Yes he is." said Emma smiling.
"He doesn't want to hear about things like implants and oral sex." said Killian laughing.
Robin laughed too.
"You talk about oral sex?"asked Graham reaching up from the back seat.
"Oh Look there's the restaurant. We're here." said Emma glaring at Killian again.
He just smiled at her smugly. When would she learn that he knew how men thought and Graham was no different from the average man. He'd prove it to her yet.
The restaurant was busy that evening. They walked over to the bar area to wait for their corporate guests. Emma's eyes went wide when she saw the jello twins walking towards them.
She gripped Killian's arm and pulled him to the side."You invited the Jello twins?"
"Aye, I thought it was good thinking. We do have men from corporate coming."
"Yeah, well it certainly couldn't hurt." said Robin clapping him on the shoulder.
"Hey ladies, you are looking quite fetching." He wrapped his arms around the twin's shoulders and walked them in to greet their corporate guests.
"Hi Bob and Dave, you both know Emma." said Robin.
They shook her hand and she introduced Graham.
"Killian Jones at your service."
"Who are these lovely ladies?"asked Dave giving the jello twins a look up and down.
"I don't think we will be talking about the news tonight." said Bob eyeing the girls as well.
Emma laughed and held onto Graham's arm looking up and giving him a slight smile.
They were seated at a table and the wine started flowing. The waiter was pouring a glass of white for everyone at the table. The night was going well. Killian was seated next to her on one side and Graham on the other. Her purse along with the remote for the panties was set down by her feet.
Graham was speaking freely to the table about his work and he was smiling a lot. She kept glancing at him to make sure he was ok. He just smiled back politely and let her do what she needed to do. It was kind of him to accept going with her on this work thing which she found very endearing. She always dreamed of having a husband who could be so supportive of her career.
The corporate guys, Bob and Dave were preoccupied by the jello twins as one girl sat next to each. They were both wearing the same dress, a skimpy white halter dress with little red flowers all over it. The dress was extremely short and if she guessed she thought even Killian would think it was too short, being vag length was inappropriate even for his standards. She looked over and caught him staring at her and smiled. He looked away towards Bob quickly as if he was caught doing something he shouldn't.
"So, are you guys here to talk about my raise then?"asked Killian.
Emma kicked his shin under the table and her purse tipped over spilling the contents onto the floor.
"We are excited about the ratings increase. OOOH! " exclaimed Emma.
She felt a vibrating sensation start down below. Oh my god, the panties. She feared she'd kicked the remote turning them on. The sensations were overwhelming her in a very good way.
"Are you alright?"asked Graham.
She nodded and took a sip of her wine before she poked her head under the table looking for the remote control to turn them off but it was missing from her purse. She was frantically looking, trying to remain calm but the damn vibration just felt so good. It kept turning her on further.
"Swan, What are you doing? " asked Killian poking his head under the table.
"Looking for the remote." she said squeezing his hand as another wave of vibration hit her core.
He chuckled. "Wait, you're wearing the panties?"
She nodded."Remote's missing."
The sensation got stronger eliciting a stronger pang in her core making her warmer. She closed her eyes tight and rose up from under the table. She squeezed her legs together tightly to try to alleviate the vibrating but the sensations felt too good.
"Wow." she said with a shaky high pitched voice.
Killian raised his head above the table trying hard not to laugh as he looked around in the vicinity of their table for the remote control.
"Are you alright?"asked Graham.
"This ceviche is so good. Possibly the best I've ever tasted."
The vibrations were getting stronger and stronger. They felt so good but she certainly had no interest in having a table comprised of corporate big wigs and her co workers watching her get off. "I'm going to ask the chef for the recipe. Would you excuse me?"she said standing up pointing her thumb in the direction of the kitchen.
"Wait Emma, hold on tell Bob about the new teaser campaign that we are going to run starting next week. You're going to love this." said Robin.
"Sure Sure Sure. They are 15 seconds every hour on the hour. Sooo good." said Emma with a shaky voice.
Killian noticed the child at the table behind them holding the remote and playing with the buttons. He smiled and took a drink of his wine looking up at Emma.
"They are soo soo fantastic. Yes, Yes, You should tell them Killian." said Emma breathlessly. She reached out and grabbed his hand and gritting her teeth.
"Actually I was really quite enjoying the way you were telling them. It was great." said Killian smiling.
She glared at him. "They aren't like anything you have ever felt. I mean seen. They are so cutting edge. They are soo so great. Oh God. Oh God. You're going to love them." said Emma slamming her hand on the table.
"Wow you gotta love her enthusiasm." said Graham.
"I'm going to be right back." said Emma excusing herself wiping her sweaty brow on the back of her hand.
"What's in ceviche?"asked one of the jello twins.
She felt so good in that moment but it was extremely embarrassing to have just had an orgasm in front of the table. Luckily it was only Killian that knew but that in itself was also not something she was proud of.
Killian walked over to the boy and took the remote back from him after she left. He placed it in his pocket and pat it with a smile. Emma spied him doing that as she walked back and raised her eyebrow.
"Did you know he had it the whole time." she whispered.
"No, not the whole time just part of the time and I figured I should let you finish."
"How kind." she said sarcastically grabbing the remote from his pocket and tossing it into her purse.
" Swan, Thanks for coming tonight. To dinner, that kind of coming." said Killian.
"mm hmm." said Emma rolling her eyes.
"Glad you liked the panties." said Killian grinning.
"They are safely tucked in my purse right now where they can do no more damage."
"No panties? Are you saying you're commando right now Swan?"
Emma nodded smiling at him.
He took a swig of his beer as he felt his own arousal increasing. He started to think about anything other than the fact that Emma was currently bare under her dress at that moment. He took another sip of his beer. "Graham likes you, by the way. I can tell."
"You think so?"
"Aye. If he can put up with this lot and stick around you might have a real chance." he said giving her a slight smile. He secretly hoped that wasn't the case not that she would ever go for a guy like him. He likely didn't even rate on her checklist.
"You ready to go?"asked Graham walking up and grabbing her hand.
"I know Emma is." said Killian smirking.
"Yeah, come on let's go."
Killian watched them leave. He felt a little sad that his plan was working after seeing her so free tonight.
"Tonight went well." said Robin clapping his hand on Killian's shoulder.
"Yeah, let's get a drink."
They walked back to the bar to meet up with Bob, Dave and the Jello twins. He needed to get Emma Swan out of his mind.
