Previously
When they made it to her car Regina turned to face Emma "I hope we can do this again soon." She said and moved to hug the other woman.
They latched on to one another with Regina's arm's going around Emma's neck and Emma's going around Regina's waist. They held each other tightly getting lost in the sensation of having the other pressed against them.
Once they pulled back they looked deeply into each other's eyes as Emma asked "Can I kiss you?"
Present
Emma held her breath waiting for her reply. When Regina raised her brow and gave a sexy, evil smirk Emma thought she was going to die from embarrassment.
"I don't know. Can you Miss Swan?" finally replied Regina smartly.
Emma let out a huff of a laugh "Oh my god! You sound like such a teacher Miss Mills!"
All of a sudden Regina took a hold of the lapels of Emma's jacket and pulled her within an inch of her face.
"Shut up and kiss me already!"
Emma replied by closing the minute distance. She intended for it to be just a chaste pressing of lips but when Regina tangled her hands in her hair and ran her tongue across her bottom lip seeking entrance all Emma's thoughts of chasteness went out the window. The feeling of having Regina's tongue run across her lip made her gasp. Regina took that as her opportunity to slip in. They both moaned at the feeling of having each other conquer their mouths so fully. Emma's lust filled mind took over her body. She grabbed on to Regina's hips and slammed her against the side of the car molding their bodies together. They couldn't get enough of each other. Emma's hands started roaming up and down Regina's sides causing her to roll her hips into Emma's. Emma thought she was about to explode and pulled back with a gasp. Both women were breathing heavily, pupils blown wide with lust and kiss swollen lips.
Regina tilted her forehead to Emma's and whispered "Come home with me."
Emma pulled back and peeled Regina's hands from around her neck keeping them in hers as she slightly shook her head no. Regina looked at the ground with a face covered in rejection.
Emma squeezed Regina's hands softly "Hey look at me." When Regina did Emma continued "I really, really want to but I just got you back. I haven't felt like this in a long time if ever. I just don't want to rush things and screw it up. You mean so much more to me than a conquest."
Regina smiled brightly "You're right. You're important to me too. When did you become the reasonable one?"
Emma laughed softly "Well I'm no longer thirteen years old so that might have something to do with it."
Looking up and down Emma's body lasciviously Regina replied "You most certainly are not."
"Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to give you my number and you are going to text me your address so I can pick you up for dinner on Saturday." said Emma with cocky bravado.
Regina smirked sexily "I think that can be arranged."
Regina pulled her hands out of Emma's and took out her phone handing it to Emma. She entered her number and texted herself so she could have Regina's. She handed back the phone with a smile.
"So I guess this is goodnight." said Regina looking into Emma's eyes.
"Yea I guess it is." replied Emma.
She cupped Regina's cheeks and gave her a soft kiss. When she pulled back she whispered "Goodnight beautiful."
Regina whispered back "Goodnight Emma. I'll see you Saturday."
Emma took her hands from Regina's face and stuck them in her pockets to keep herself from touching the stunning woman again. She waited to leave until Regina drove off. As she walked back to her car she thought "I know what I'll be dreaming about tonight."
The next morning Regina woke up with a smile on her face. She grabbed her phone to shut off her alarm and noticed she had a text from Emma.
Emma: Good morning gorgeous!
Regina's smile grew even wider when she read the message. How could she be feeling so much so fast? Sure she had loved the girl once but that was over ten years ago and in a completely platonic way.
Regina: Good morning dear. How is your day so far?
Emma: It's much better now. I can't wait to see you Saturday night.
Regina: But you just saw me a few hours ago. I'm excited for Saturday as well.
Emma: I know…but I still can't wait! I'll pick you up at 7.
Regina: See you then dear.
Emma couldn't contain her smile she must look like an idiot grinning to herself at her desk reading over Regina's texts.
"Hey Swan! What has you all giddy over there like a little school girl? Did you get some last night from that smoking hot bombshell? I saw you two leave together." called out August from his desk.
"No I didn't you ass but I am taking her out to dinner Saturday night." replied Emma with a smug smirk.
"Whoa miss hit it and quit it is actually going on a date? Regina is hot and all but you've had a lot of hot women. What makes this one so special?" asked August.
"We have history." said Emma vaguely.
"You can't just leave me with that shitty answer Swan! Spill the details!" huffed August with annoyance in his voice.
"Well she was my art teacher for three years in high school and we were really close."
"Really close to what…making a porno? I can't believe you banged your teacher that is so hot!" replied August with laughter in his voice.
"Eww no you perv! I was only 13 when we met. I wasn't even thinking about sex, especially not with my teacher." said Emma with exasperation.
"Oh well, I'm still going to imagine a teenage you banging that hot ass woman on her desk!" he laughed while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Emma threw a balled up piece of paper at his head "You are so gross!"
Regina was at her gallery writing up the paperwork for a painting she just sold. She couldn't get Emma and their kiss from the previous night out of her mind. It was making it really hard for her to concentrate on the work she had to do. She still couldn't wrap her brain around all the feelings she was having about the other woman. Regina was not a believer in fairy tales or destiny but running into Emma sure felt like it. It was like Emma was made for her, that she belonged to her. She decided that she needed her best friend and she needed her now! Regina picked up her cell and dialed Katherine's number. She tapped her pen against her desk waiting for her to pick up.
"Hey Reg! What's up?" said Katherine when she finally answered the phone.
"A lot!" replied Regina exasperated. "But before I go into that how are you?"
"I'm great! The wife took the baby to the park and I'm home writing an article for the paper."
"Aww how is my baby boy" asked Regina with longing. It had been a while since she saw her godson.
"He is so stinking cute! He is talking up a storm. I know he misses his Reggie. You need to come see us."
"I know. I miss you all so much. I've been so busy lately with the gallery."
"Well let's have lunch soon, I'll bring the baby with me so you can see him too." suggested Katherine.
"I would love that." replied Regina with a smile in her voice.
"So what's up? You said you had a lot going on before and I want to hear all about it!"
Regina took a deep breath "I ran into Emma last night."
"Holy shit!" yelled Katherine making Regina pull the phone from her ear quickly.
"I think I've just lost my ability to hear in my right ear Katherine." said Regina sternly.
"Sorry but this is big news Regina! Where did you see her? How was she? Was she pissed? How did she look? Is she pretty?" rambled Katherine excitedly.
"Slow down Katherine. That was a lot of questions. She was at the gallery with her co-workers. At first she was a little closed off but then we went to a bar and had a long chat. I told her everything. She said she's still hurt but I think she forgives me."
"Well that's all good but you left out the good part! Is she pretty?"
Regina laughed at her friend "Yes Katherine she is pretty, stunning even."
"Oh my god! This is so exciting! Did you make a move on her?" asked Katherine enthusiastically.
"No I didn't." she then added "She did." so quickly Katherine had barely managed to catch it.
"Regina! This is it, she is the one! I just know it! You would never shut up about the girl even after we left Storybrooke you were always wondering how she was and what she was doing."
Regina sighed "Yes I know I never shut up about her as you so nicely put it. I even told her about that last night. I just can't understand why I'm feeling all these feelings so fast. I've never felt the way I did when she kissed me. It felt right; it felt like home…no offense."
Katherine busted out laughing "None taken. I know what you mean. It felt the same way the first time I kissed Jasmine and look where we are now, married with a baby! Don't fight what you're feeling. You deserve happiness Regina."
"Thank you Kat. I really appreciate you talking to me."
"Anytime Reggie! So do you have plans to see her again?"
"Yes she is taking me to dinner tomorrow night." said Regina with a smile that was clear in her voice.
"That's fantastic! I'm so excited for you. We definitely need to do lunch next week so you can tell me all about it."
Regina heard a commotion on the other end of the line.
"Hey Reg I have to go the wife and baby are home."
"OK Kat. Give them both a hug and a kiss for me. Let me know when you want to do lunch."
"Will do. Love you Reggie. Have fun on your date."
"Bye Kat. Love you too." said Regina before hanging up the phone.
Regina felt a lot better after talking to her best friend. Maybe Katherine was right. She would just go with it and give herself a chance at happiness.
On Saturday morning Emma woke up with butterflies in her stomach. She had so much to do before her date with Regina. She needed to pick out an outfit, get her hair done, have her car washed, pick up flowers, and quite a few other errands. Her head was spinning with all the things she had to do but she quickly got through her morning routine and headed out the door.
Regina didn't wake up until almost eleven. There was a private party at the gallery last night and she didn't get home until almost four in the morning. Although she was still exhausted from all the work she did last night the excitement of seeing Emma got her to throw the covers off and get her day started. She went to her kitchen and started making herself an omelet. While the eggs were cooking she decided to text Emma and see what she was doing.
Regina: Good morning dear. What are you up to on this lovely morning?
Emma: Morning! Nothing much just getting ready for a date I have tonight with a stunningly beautiful woman!
Regina could help but giggle. That woman was such a charmer!
Regina: Oh really? Do I know this woman?
Emma: I think you might. She's brunette with deep brown eyes you can get lost in. She has the face of an angel but a body built for sin!
Regina felt her face flush with arousal and tingles going up and down her spine. This woman was driving her insane!
Regina: Sounds like quite the woman.
Emma: Oh she is. I don't know what I did right in my life to get a chance with her but I'm glad I did.
Regina: I have an inkling she feels the same way.
Emma: I've got some errands to run but I'll see you tonight beautiful.
Regina: OK dear. Have a nice day.
Regina ate her breakfast. She didn't know how it was possible but she was even more excited about the date after the brief text conversation. Once she was done she washed and dried the dishes then headed back to her bedroom to pick out her date outfit. She wanted to wear something that would have Emma drooling from just the sight of her. Once she saw the dress she knew it was the one. It was black, fitted with quarter length sleeves. It had a scoop neckline, from the front it looked very demure but once she turned around Emma was going to die. It was completely backless and stopped right before it would be considered indecent. She had a smirk on her face knowing the reaction she was going to get.
It was already a quarter till seven and Emma was on her way to pick up Regina from her place. She decided to wear her tailored black suit that hugged every inch of her with a crisp white shirt and skinny black tie. Her freshly highlighted hair was pulled up in a ponytail with a braid detail in the front. She was hoping that Regina would like the slightly masculine look.
She arrived five minutes early and with a bouquet of daffodils in hand made her way to Regina's door. She rang the doorbell and waited with breath bated. Emma thought she was going to faint from the sheer beauty of the woman who answered the door. Regina was in a tight black dress showing off her womanly figure. Her hair was styled with perfect waves and flips. Regina smirked with her red painted lips noticing how Emma was taking in her form.
With a voice laced in raspy sex Regina spoke "Hello dear."
Finally looking up into Regina's eyes Emma swallowed the lump in her throat and replied "Hi. You look incredible." and handing her the flowers "These are for you."
Regina took the flowers with a bright smile "So do you and thank you Emma these are absolutely lovely!"
Emma smiled back shyly "They represent new beginnings."
Taking no time to reply Regina said "And what do purple orchids mean?"
Emma laughed lightly "That I'm not telling."
Regina rolled her eyes as she started to walk in her house "Come in dear while I put these in some water."
She looked back quickly to catch Emma's reaction to the back of her dress and she wasn't disappointed.
After restarting her brain and whipping the drool from her face Emma walked in behind her. Emma didn't know how she was going to keep her hands to herself tonight especially with all that skin available to her. Finally shaking herself from her thoughts she took in the beautiful space surrounding her. There was art everywhere. She could tell a lot of the pieces were Regina's own creations but she also had a few from different renowned artists.
Regina walked back to where Emma was standing entranced by the creations. She set the vase filled with the daffodils on a small table that was located by the entryway.
"So where are we going?" asked Regina shocking Emma out of her reverie.
Emma replied with a wink "I'm not telling."
