Chapter 2
Regina was now standing before the blonde pulling her up against her chest. She flicked her wrist and the lights dimmed subliminally in the bar. As the two walked hand in hand to the pool table Regina somehow magicked two pool sticks into Emma's free hand. "Let's play Em-ma."
Emma Swan knew the tone of voice the other woman had, but she couldn't back down from the challenge while she was drunk.
Emma broke the balls first, solids. She bent over the table and lined of the stick best she could. That's when she felt strong hands against her bottom. She groaned, shot at her ball, and missed. 'Sober enough to insult me, drunk enough to tease me.' Emma thought.
"Gina.."
Regina purred as her hands traveled to the front of Emma's body which was now upright. Hands on the blondes thighs Regina's lips found Emma's neck despite her jacket being in the way. When she had her fill of the exposed flesh she discarded Emma's jacket and bit her shoulder.
Emma turned facing Regina and locked their lips in a kiss. Her hands found the hem of Regina's shirt and lifted it above her head.
Clad in just her jeans and lace purple bra Regina was not one to be undone. She popped the button on the saviors jeans and slowly slid down the zipper. A twinkle could be seen in Emma's eyes as her breathing became heavy.
Regina buried her face in Emma's neck as she whispered three words she hadn't spoken to another adult since Daniel and her father had been alive, "I love you."
Emma, being far more sober than Regina, stopped breathing. What Regina thought was whispering was more like loudly talking so someone heard you. Thank Gods the bar had been empty. She'd have never lived it down if someone heard her confession.
She pulled her face out of Emma and stared at her. "Regina I.." That's when Regina's face fell.
"You don't want me." Emma saw the picture perfect mask the Queen always wore slip into place. Regina backed up and reached for her shirt.
"No Regina it's not like that." she shook her head with pleading eyes.
Regina was having none of it though. She stared at the savior with hurt in her eyes. "Can we stop joking around like we'd ever actually date? Me date you? Please. What nonsense."
"Regina would you just allow me to explain-"
"No need Sheriff. I'm going home."
With that the Queen had disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving Emma kicking herself. "Every damn time." she sighed.
