She was lying in her bed, and she was tired, exhausted, and should be fast asleep, but she was not. Hazel eyes kept staring into the ceiling, when she was not lying on her side, staring at the offending street lamp that was shining into her face. She should have drawn the curtains, but she didn't. It´s not that she´s lazy, but she forgot, her mind was in a different place. A place that was somewhere else in Storybrooke. At a certain white house where a beautiful brunette woman lived. Emma sighed as she closed her eyes briefly, trying to get the image away, but it didn't help. She groaned and decided to get up. Apparently, she wouldn't get any sleep tonight… again.
She slipped on some pants and tiptoed out, trying not to wake her parents or Henry. Picking up her boots and her leather jacket, she silently opened and closed the front door. She sighed relieved and put on her boots before walking down steps as she slipped on her leather jacket. The night was chilly, but it was refreshing, and Emma took a deep breath, getting some fresh air into her lungs. With her hands in her pockets, she slowly made her way down the empty street. She wondered shortly what Regina was doing, before shaking her head. Of course, she would be sound asleep at this hour. Emma wished she was with her. God, how lovesick can a woman get? Emma kicked the pavement in frustration.
The brunette was infuriating, cocky and arrogant, but Emma couldn't deny that she was beautiful, and she couldn't deny that she was very much enchanted by her. She almost craved the attention from the mayor and like the masochist she was, she went back to the town hall every single day. Though it didn't seem like the mayor was annoyed by this, which was confusing for the blonde. Regina had that look in her eyes when she thought Emma wasn't looking. She always felt those brown eyes following her around the room and she couldn't possible being imagining that. There was something there and Emma was determined to find out what. She just needed to know.
Across town, the woman of Emma´s affection was just as frustrated as the blonde. In contrast to the blonde, she had been sleeping but woke up by some rather heavy dreams of a blonde sheriff. On her desk, in nothing else than her red leather jacket. There had been many of those dreams. Dreams where she could almost feel the touch of Emma´s lips on her own when she had woken up. Regina scoffed, hell, she always dreamed of the blonde these days. Now, she was standing in her kitchen with a glass of water as she tried to get all the images out of her head. She let out a tiny sigh as she put down the now empty glass and walked to her living room and sat down on the couch. She grabbed the remote off the coffee table, aimlessly surfing the channels, but nothing caught her interest. She scowled as she threw aside the remote and leaned back on the couch with her arms crossed. Even though she didn't have official meetings with Emma, she turned up at her office every day around noon, along with coffee and that day´s pastry choice, and Regina really looked forward to those meetings. They were the highlights of the harder days. Often Regina couldn't concentrate in any conversations as she couldn't keep her eyes of the woman´s lips and the blonde had a, very annoying, way to always make her laugh or forget how to function as a human being. She often found herself sitting, wondering what a relationship with the blonde would feel like. It was crazy how the mighty bounty hunter hadn't noticed it at all. At first, she had tried to avoid any contact with Emma, but that hadn't worked out because of Henry. Then she had tried to just stay out of the office or going to Granny´s when she knew the blonde wouldn't be there, but it turned out to be a lot harder than she thought as they kept stumbling in to each other. Small town issues.
Regina sighed heavily and rolled her eyes at herself. She could just grow a pair and talk properly with the woman about their situation.
"Fuck" She muttered as she dragged herself up from the couch. This was silly, she thought as she walked to the kitchen. If she couldn't sleep, she could at least get some coffee and look at the work she brought home. She spotted her phone on the counter and stopped momentarily. Biting her lip, she remembered what Emma had told her yesterday. That the blonde had problem sleeping these days and she almost couldn't function at the time. Regina had sent the sheriff home with orders to get some sleep, since she couldn't have a sleep deprived police force walking around making mistakes. She picked up the phone and decided to take a chance. Her finger hovered over the text icon, as she took a deep breath before pushing down. The brunette wrote and deleted several times before she finally decided to press send. She laid the phone on the counter waiting for, hopefully, a reply.
Not so far away, the vibration of her phone, interrupted Emma´s thought. She frowned at who it could possible be at this hour. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw who the messenger was. With trembling hands, she opened the text and read the simple words.
´Are you awake? ´ Emma released the breath she´s been holding and texted back a short answer, hoping it wouldn't offend the brunette, but what else could she write?
´Yeah´ Regina jumped, surprised by the ding from her phone. She certainly hadn't hoped for an answer but was happy when she got it and quickly wrote a response.
´Can you come over? ´ Emma looked at the new text and a smile formed on her face. A quick reply and she was almost running to the mayor's house. She stopped in front of the door, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door. Seconds after, the door opened revealing the woman of her dreams. Emma quickly stepped inside, not letting the cold get inside. Regina closed the door and leaned up against it, looking at the blonde woman now standing in her hall. In her red leather jacket. Regina was biting her lip as pictures of her dream flooded her mind once again. Emma was watching Regina standing in nothing else than her nightgown and she looked beautiful. Emma strode towards her in a quick move and was now standing in Regina´s space. She felt almost intoxicated by brunette´s scent and she wanted so much more.
Regina could feel the warmth from the woman´s body and she didn´t realize she´s been holding her breath as she stared into green eyes. Emma leaned forward, brushing her nose against Regina´s cheek, before lightly brushing her lips along the brunette´s jawline. Regina´s breath hitched at the feeling of Emma´s lips slowly trailing to the corner of her mouth and wrapped her arms around her shoulders, bringing the blonde closer to her body. Regina tilted her head, welcoming the blonde´s lips with her own, at once eager and hesitant. Her body melded against Emma´s, as their kiss got deeper. Her nightgown was very thin, and she easily felt the touches of Emma´s hands roaming over her hips, her rear, digging her fingers into the fabric and pulled it up. Regina moaned into Emma´s mouth which only spurred the blonde further on.
The hesitation from the brunette´s part melted away instantly. She felt exposed, but still safe in the woman´s arms. A feeling she rarely felt. Her hands began caressing Emma´s cladded shoulders, and she cursed away that jacket.
"You´re wearing too many clothes, dear" Regina mumbled into swollen lips. Emma chuckled hoarsely as she slid her fingers across the soft skin of Regina´s thigh, before she got a good grip on her and lifted her up in a swift motion. Regina yelped in surprise, before she wrapped her legs around the blonde and let herself being lifted before the blonde walked up the stairs in a quick move. With luck, Emma found Regina´s bedroom and put her down on the bed. She hovered over the brunette, looking down at her. Regina´s face was flushed, her lips swollen and her hair in disarray, but for Emma, she couldn't look any more beautiful.
"You look beautiful" Emma whispered, and Regina blushed and looked away briefly from the intense green eyes. Emma smiled and leaned down to place a kiss on her cheek. She straddled the brunette and began to get out of her clothes and Regina could only stare at the revealed skin. It was only the beginning of an amazing night. Emma´s body beneath her felt like heaven. Her moans, her sweat and the way she had looked up through hooded eyes to find Regina. They had pulled each other back to kiss again and again, never wanting to end their lovemaking. Regina couldn't stop, as every touch from Emma´s skilled fingers was earthshattering, but still so soft and steadying. Emma was also in heaven. She had never felt like this and even though they were close, Emma wanted to be closer to the brunette and she did.
Emma stirred awake, and noticed the solid arm wrapped around her stomach. She didn't know what time it was, but she couldn't care less and smiled as she snuggled closer into the naked body behind her. She heard a little sigh as Regina tightened her grip on the blonde and Emma fell asleep again. A little while later, a phone was ringing, interrupting them in their sleep. Emma knew it was hers and sighed as she knew she had to take it. Regina released her grip on the woman, and she got up, looking for her jeans to get the still ringing phone. Regina chuckled as she watched the naked blonde walking around her bedroom.
"Got you" Emma said in triumph. "Yeah?" She spoke into the phone. She walked back to the bed and sat down, trying to put on the top she had found on the floor. "No" Regina couldn't hear who it was as she was still in bed, just watching the blonde. She knew she should get up and check her own phone, but she didn't feel like it right now. Emma looked back at her, smiling at her softly. "I´m at Regina´s" Normally, Regina would have panicked, knowing someone else knew of her affairs, but this time she couldn't care less. She wanted to be with Emma and wanting people to know that she was hers. "No, I´ll see you later. Tell Henry we´ll come pick him up" Emma said, and Regina guessed it was probably Mary Margaret or David. "Yeah, bye" Emma put down the phone on the night stand and lay down next to Regina again, this time facing her. Regina leaned in and kissed the blonde who reciprocated.
"Was it okay I told them I was here?" Emma asked and Regina nodded.
"Of course. I don't want to keep this a secret" Emma smiled widely at her and kissed her again.
"I don't want to either" Both smiled as they just looked at each other. Emma closed their distance and settled herself between Regina´s legs and hovered over her. Regina sighed at the contact and wrapped her arms around the blonde´s neck. "How about a round two?" Emma suggested as she leaned down to kiss along the brunette's jaw.
"You mean, four or five?" Regina chuckled hoarsely and Emma responded with kissing her neck. "I´m up for it"
"Great" Emma said and found the brunette´s lips in a searing and intense kiss. This was indeed what both women had dreamed about. No need to wonder anymore. They had finally found each other.
