Chapter 13:
Regina opened her eyes into a mist of gold.
She blinked once. Twice.
Sunlight was entering her bedroom through the parted curtains. Her head rested on top of her lover's arm, and her eyes faced the tangled masses of soft, blonde curls.
Emma shined divinely as her sleeping form basked in the warm morning light.
The blanket had slid off of her lean torso down to her waist. Regina gasped as she found her hand resting on top of a breast. She quickly retrieved it and sat up.
I never had the chance to look at her properly…
The room was much too dark for her eyes last night. She had felt Emma everywhere on her body, but her eyes had yet to memorize every intimate part of her lover. So seeing Emma partially revealed before her, she couldn't help but stare.
Emma was breath taking.
Regina's eyes followed the golden strands, moving down the forehead, the closed lids, long eyelashes, and the bridge of her nose and stopped at Emma's lips. She stared at the gentle lips which made her head swoon each time they pressed against hers, made her breath hitch when they trailed down her neck. They had set her body on fire last night as they had kissed the tender flesh of her breasts and sucked on her sensitive nipples. Regina imagined them kissing down her body. She wanted, once again, to feel those lips working between her legs. Her eyes continued their journey downwards.
She eyed Emma's neck longingly. Her fair skin was a sharp contrast to Regina's darker tone. Her breasts were firm and round. Her nipples deliciously pink, peaking slightly at the touch of the room's air.
I could kiss down that neck… trail my hand under the sheet and touch her… right now… pleasure her awake from her sleep…
The thought of making love to Emma in the bright light of the morning overwhelmed her.
I could…
Suddenly Emma shifted, pulling her outstretched arm back to her, she turned away from Regina's side. The cover slid even lower at the movement, exposing the curves of her hips. Regina marvelled at her smooth, bare back. It was simply waiting to be touched…kissed…
There was nothing stopping her. Not anymore.
Regina lied down on the bed, facing Emma's shoulders. Slowly, she reached a finger out towards the base of the blonde's neck. She traced it down her spine.
Her heart swelled with longing. She wanted to make her lover moan, grip on to her with passion and need. Regina leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on Emma's back, she gently rested her head on top of the curls, breathing in their sweet scent.
It was like Emma had opened a cage last night. She freed her. Regina didn't feel the tug inside of her, the uncertainty, the reluctance towards losing control, losing her calm- she didn't care anymore. Her palm rested on Emma's back, feeling its rise and fall as the woman slept beside her. She hadn't felt weakened under Emma's touch, in Emma's arms as she had come undone during the night. She had feared earlier, that she'd be vulnerable if she allowed Emma this far. Instead she felt more in control- of her heart, her thoughts, her needs, her emotions- everything.
She isn't like him.
Regina closed her eyes, listening to the gentle intakes of Emma's breath, feeling the silk curls under her cheek-she sighed comfortably.
Had she ever felt this way, so sure…so loved…so in love…?
She only had memories of painful nights, when she had crumbled each time Daniel entered her, forced into her, and crushed her under his weight.
Whore.
He had spat that word on her face over and over as he had gripped her neck and pushed her painfully into her pillow, suffocating her, choking her as he had emptied inside.
Emma could never be that monster. She would never be him.
"So soft…so beautiful…"
No one had ever spoken so tenderly to her before, the way Emma whispered in her ears last night.
"I love you…"
Emma had whispered those three words countless times- while touching her gently, kissing her body and pleasuring her like a true lover.
Regina could feel Emma in every part of her being. She felt alive, awakened from a deep sleep. Alert. She felt as though the woman was coursing in her blood stream like a magic elixir- soothing her, strengthening her, and reviving dying embers of her desires and sparking a new flame once again. Emma was like the brightest of the sun which breaks through dark clouds after endless days of storm and disaster.
Powerless, she wasn't. She felt stronger than ever before.
Smiling, Regina nuzzled her face into Emma's neck and wrapped an arm around her bare waist. Her thighs pressed against the back of Emma's under the blanket as her hand brushed over the muscles her stomach.
mmm….
Regina sighed, enjoying the softness of her lover's body against hers. She felt a need growing at the pit of her stomach, spreading warmth between her legs. Seeking more contact, Regina moved hair away from Emma's neck and kissed behind her ear. Then she kissed her jaw.
I want more…
She kissed down Emma's back- trailing her lips over the smooth skin, licking down her spine, breathing hotly through her mouth. She left a wet trail from the blonde's shoulders down to the swell of her hips. Then she gently turned the blonde around to face her.
Emma hadn't stirred, still very much asleep. Regina smiled, sighing at the woman's peaceful oblivion.
She's so beautiful when she's asleep. I almost hate to wake her up but…I'm sure she won't mind…
With lips curled up wickedly, in one swift motion, Regina removed the cover that hid the rest of Emma's body from her hungry eyes. Her hands parted the long, slender legs and revealed the sweet opening where she longed to touch her lover, where she wanted to plant her lips and pull at the small flesh, where her tongue needed to taste her, lick over the quivering pink clit and in between her folds then drink her sweet wetness…suck her to the brink of pleasure and make her walls clench around her fingers…
She didn't wait any longer. Her desires were much too strong to resist.
Regina crawled lower towards the foot of the bed, placing her head between Emma's legs and over her soft opening. Without further thought, Regina lowered her mouth on Emma.
Oh…
Her skin was like velvet. Regina's lips kissed around the small peak before sucking it inside. Then releasing it with a soft plop.
Mmm…you're delicious…
Her scent was musky. Her taste was maddening. Rolling her tongue out, Regina lapped hungrily at the flesh, breathing through her mouth.
"Oh…"
The soft gasp from above stopped her from moving forward.
"Regina…what-
"Good morning, dear" Regina looked up from between Emma's thighs, meeting the pair of green eyes which stared at her widely.
"uhm…m-morning…" Emma blinked, and then grinned at her "whatcha doin' down there?"
Her tone was playful. Teasing. Regina smiled wickedly and gave Emma's clit a long, wet lick. Her eyes looked longingly at Emma's face as the green pairs rolled back in pleasure.
Regina smiled as Emma managed to look back down, breathing heavily, "shall I continue, dear?"
Emma smirked, "why, by all means…contin-…oh"
Regina had licked once again, cutting Emma off mid sentence. Her fingers were clutching each thigh, pushing them far apart as her mouth worked between Emma's slit. Emma slid one hand through her hair, guiding her head's up and down movements, clutching her hair when she licked a particularly sensitive spot. She pushed her tongue through her wet opening, licking her inner walls and Emma cried out in pleasure.
Without a word, Regina lifted her head and dipped a finger inside Emma's folds. She moved up Emma's body and rested her head within the crook of the blonde's neck, while her finger pushed forward through walls of soft flesh below.
"Regina…"
Her name was a whisper. A gasp. A whimper. A sigh. Emma called out to her as pumped her finger inside her. She kissed the flesh of her neck, felt Emma's nipples brush against hers as their bodies moved together, pressing closer. Regina's hips pushed her hand forward, burying her finger deep inside her lover's walls. Emma's hips thrust into her as she added another finger, crooking it slightly to make her fingers brush up against her clit.
Emma gasped. Her arm wrapped tightly around Regina's waist, and her other hand found a breast. Regina moaned as Emma's hand cupped it. She squeezed it within her palm as Regina drove her towards her edge.
"Regina…I'm gonna-
"Shhh…I know, honey…I can feel you getting closer…"
She knew Emma was close, her walls were clenching her fingers tightly, becoming wetter by the second. She worked them faster, pushing in, then pulling them out, brushing Emma's clit each time. Emma shivered slightly under her. Regina sent her free hand raking through Emma's blonde curls. Her lover's eyes were closed, her breath hitching, chest rising heavily as pleasure coursed thorough her.
"Oh Regina…Regina…"
"Let go, hon," she whispered in the blonde's ears, "I want to feel you all over my fingers…I want to taste you…I love you…"
"mmm…" Emma gasped, thrusting her hips forward to meet Regina's hand.
"I love you, hon…" Regina whispered, thrusting her fingers in one last time, her eyes closed, listening carefully to Emma's heavy breaths and frequent gasps. Her body was pressed so close to the blonde's she could feel every quiver of her heated skin.
"Oh…Regina…"
Emma moaned, grasping brown waves tightly in her fingers as her walls spasmed around Regina's thrusting fingers. She gently thrust her hips back and forth, riding the waves of her orgasm. Regina felt her heat spread all over her fingers as Emma rocked herself.
Regina slowly removed her fingers as Emma finally managed to catch her breath. She sucked her fingers, tasting Emma on them.
Emma's arms held her close to her chest as her heart returned to its usual rhythm. A hand trailed over Regina's bare back, touching softly over her curves. She looked up to meet the green eyes which stared at her lovingly, wearing a content smile.
"You're amazing" Emma breathed, kissing Regina's forehead. Regina smiled.
"As are you, my dear" she whispered, reaching up to meet Emma's lips, giving her a quick kiss.
Regina lied on top of Emma's body, limbs tangled together, and her head rested on her lover's chest.
Emma kept her arms wrapped around her, holding her close, as they both slowly drifted back to sleep, listening to the steady, soothing rhythm of each other's heart.
