August 27th 2013
Regina was fidgeting in her chair.
"Stay still!" Sarah chastised her jokingly. "It's hard to finish your makeup if you keep moving."
Regina gave Sarah a small smile. She stopped moving but started to play with her hands nervously instead. She was going on a date with David in a few hours, or rather "the" date. She was finally ready to let David touch her. Over the past few months, she had kept her daily sessions with Archie. At the beginning, she had only talked about her past. She had talked to Archie about her time in Leopold's court but also about the crimes she had committed as the Evil Queen. But as time had passed, she had started to talk about her hopes for a future. For the first time, she had been able to see happy times ahead of her and Archie had been relieved to see Regina letting herself hope. They had talked about her progress with some of the townspeople, her relationship with her family, and David.
David had been a subject Regina had tried to avoid. Although she had been convinced that the Prince truly loved her and had wanted to make their romance work, Regina still could not define the boundaries of that relationship. Finally, she had admitted to Archie that she wanted a normal relationship with her boyfriend, one where David would not have to second guess himself every time he touched her. Although Archie had warned her that it would be a very difficult road to take, Regina had been adamant. She could not let Leopold dictate her entire life. She owed it to herself to finally enjoy the caresses of a lover.
And so David and Regina had started couple therapy. The situation had been awkward at first since Archie was more than just their therapist. He was a friend and Regina had hated herself for placing him in the middle. But Archie had given them advice without prying into their privacy and Regina had been grateful for it.
In the first week, Regina and David had just given each other back massages. As Regina had started to grow more comfortable with David naked next to her, they had progressed to the second step. Regina had let David touch her more intimately. The first time they had tried, Regina had not been able to contain her fears and she had recoiled from David as soon as he had touched her breast. David had spent the next half hour reassuring her, telling her that he would never do anything without her permission.
Archie had stressed to him the importance of letting Regina in charge. So they had tried another tactic. Regina had caressed her own body with his hand, showing him what she liked and disliked, telling him how much pressure he was allowed to use, and letting herself discover her most sensitive areas in the process. She had eventually allowed his hand on her breast but had left her sex alone. They would then reverse roles, finally discovering each other. Regina had been tense at first but the knowledge that she was the one deciding what happened to her own body had been enough to reassure her. Within a few days, Regina had started to enjoy their intimate moments together.
The last step had come a few weeks later and had been the most difficult for her since she had needed to relinquish some of her control. She would not be the one in charge of David's hand, she had to learn to trust him to only touch her the way she had agreed to be touched. To this end, Regina would start by caressing David's body. Then it would be the Prince's turn but only in the areas where Regina had touched him in the first place. At first, Regina had stayed away from the chest and groin areas but as time had passed and her trust in David had grown more than she could have ever imagined, she had allowed herself to have her breast and thighs touched. Soon, fingers were replaced by tongue and lips, sending both of them on the edge on more than one occasion.
Two days ago, Regina had finally stroke David's manhood. The Prince had been surprised at first but his thoughts had quickly been scrambled by the sensation growing throughout his body as Regina squeezed every inch of him. Before he could stop himself, he had come into her hand. To his surprise and pleasure, Regina had not been afraid by his reaction. Instead, she had brought him down slowly, massaging his balls and running her fingertips along his shaft. She had been ready then but David had wanted something more for her. In a lot of ways, it would be her first time and he wanted to make it special for her. He had wanted to take her on a date and romance her the way she should have been all these years ago.
Regina had cried tears of relief. Even after getting her permission, David had still been thinking about her wants and needs. After everything she had put him through, most men would have claimed their prize. But David had made her feel special and all her doubts had evaporated in that instant.
Regina jumped when Emma came back upstairs with a few dresses. The only condition Regina had put on David was that she wanted to do it at home first. David had agreed and told her he would pick her up at the loft, getting the house ready for her.
Emma showed her a couple of the dresses Regina had brought with her. "What would you like to wear?"
"I… I don't know… what do men like… want?" She blushed.
Emma blushed with her. It was a fun conversation to have with a girlfriend but the man in question was her own father. "I…." She looked in Sarah's direction desperately. Regina had called the maid after she had asked some uncomfortable questions to Emma.
Sarah moved Regina's hair out of her face. "Do you know what David likes on you?"
"Jeans and t-shirt."
Both women laugh. "Ok, what's his favorite color?"
Emma selected a couple of dresses. "Red."
Regina smirked. "Well, that's half of my closet."
"Then we're off to a good start!"
After several hours, Regina was finally ready. Emma had selected a fitted dress for her with a sweetheart neckline, black pumps, and a black leather jacket. Sarah had worked on a softer makeup for the Queen than what she was used to but had painted her lips with a red that matched her dress.
Henry ran upstairs with Brownie. The dog and kid had been inseparable. He stopped at the landing with his mouth hanging open. "Wow!"
The women laughed. Emma rubbed Regina's arm and pointed toward their son. "Well, that should give you an idea of your boyfriend's reaction." Regina blushed.
"Mom, you're gorgeous! David is waiting downstairs."
EC
The date had been perfect. David had taken her for seafood on the outskirt of town. They had talked about Henry, Emma, Neal, their future… David had then walked with Regina on the beach before heading back to the mansion.
Regina was shifting nervously on the seat next to David. He placed his hand on her thigh soothingly. "You're ok?"
She smiled. "Yes… just nervous."
"We don't have to do it tonight if you don't want to."
Regina leaned up and kissed his cheek. "I'm not nervous because I'm afraid. I'm nervous because I'm excited."
David smiled as he parked the car. He killed the engine before leaning down to kiss the woman he loved with all his heart. "I love you."
Regina nuzzled against his cheek. "I love you too."
David helped her out of the car, wrapping his arm protectively around her waist as they walked toward the front door. Regina's heart was hammering in her chest. All the questions she had asked Sarah suddenly coming back at the front of her mind: what was she supposed to do? Where to place her hands? …. Sarah had eventually told her to let herself get lost in the moment. Regina took a deep breath and tried to follow the old nurse's advice. She sank deeper into David's embrace as he opened the door.
Regina gasped in surprise when she got her first peek inside the house. David had covered her foyer and the staircase with red and white rose petals. He placed a chaste kiss on her cheek, thrilled by her reaction. "You like it?"
Tears of joy fell down her cheeks. She turned to face David and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss. "I love it." She kissed him again. "Thank you."
David whispered in her ear. "No, thank you. For trusting me."
Regina nuzzled against him. "Always."
David took her hand and led her upstairs. He had covered the hallway leading to her bedroom with more flowers. Regina could feel the anticipation growing at the pit of her stomach. She gasped one more time as she reached her bedroom. David had carefully folded the blankets at the foot of the bed and had covered her mattress with more rose petals. Regina caressed the flowers before sitting on the edge of her bed. Even in her wildest dreams, she would have never imagined David going through all this to make this night special for her.
The man kneeled at her feet and removed her pumps, settling them near her bed. Regina let her jacket fall from her shoulders and disregarded it on the floor. She bent over to take David's lips into a searing kiss. She moved her hands over his torso, removing his leather jacket in the process. Her lover climbed next to her on the bed, hungrily returning her kiss. Once they parted, Regina took great pleasure in removing David' shirt, kissing every inch of newly exposed skin. She pushed him back against the headboard, settling in-between the cradle of his thighs. Regina proceeded to unbutton his jeans, which soon joined his shirt and jacket on the floor.
David chuckled and pulled Regina toward him, unzipping her dress. The red garment was soon disregarded, revealing red lace panties and matching bra. He cupped Regina's cheek. "You're sure?"
Regina nodded. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her forehead against his. "I trust you. I… want you."
David kissed her slowly, savoring her taste. He ran his hands over her sides and back until he reached her bra. He unclasped it and Regina let go of his neck long enough for David to slip it off her. She was kneeling on the bed, bracing herself against the headboard. Her chocolate eyes were only reflecting trust and love. David smiled at her before kissing down her jaw, her neck, and finally her breast.
Regina breath hitched when he started sucking gently on her left breast, running his thumb over her right nipple. Regina moaned at the sensation of his warm mouth on her skin. David continued gently sucking on her nipples, careful not to graze her skin with his teeth. Regina was so lost in the sensations his mouth ignited that she had not felt his hands slip down her bare back toward her perfectly-shaped bottom. He squeezed her ass cheeks once and Regina gasped in response. She tensed immediately. David stopped his ministrations and looked at his lover directly in the eyes. "Are you alright, sweetheart?"
Regina simply nodded. "Just… surprised. I'm ok." She leaned her head against his forehead once more, their nose barely touching.
"You're in charge, Regina. If you don't like something, you need to tell me."
Regina nodded against him. "I know… just...just give me a minute."
"We can take all the time you need. I won't hurt you. I don't want you to be afraid. I just want to make love to you."
Regina nodded once more. "Continue."
David smiled and started kissing her. She moaned deep into his mouth and finally started to relax. Once they broke from the kiss, David rubbed her ass. "I'm going to place my hand in-between you thighs. Is that ok?"
Regina nodded, never breaking eye contact. David moved his right hand and started rubbing her inner thighs slowly. Regina shivered and moaned at the sensation. They had discovered early on that this was a particularly sensitive spot for her. As Regina closed her eyes and started to move in unison with his caresses, David slowly turned his palm up to cup her sex.
Regina's eyes shot open. David smiled at her and rubbed her side with his free hand. "Still ok?" Regina nodded rapidly, her breathing fastening in anticipation. "You're wet, baby." Regina nodded again. "Can you part your thighs just a little bit more?"
Regina hesitated. David did not try to nudge her; she needed to make the decision on her own. As he was about to remove his hand, Regina opened her legs so he had room to move. David smiled at her and started rubbing her through the fabric of her panties. Regina moaned and sank down on his hand, grinding herself against him. David kissed her lips. "I'm going to move your panties aside, ok?" Regina quickly nodded.
David pushed the fabric aside and ran his index finger in-between her wet folds. Regina moaned as he brushed her clit. "You're ok, sweetheart?" Regina did not respond, instead she moved her hips back and forth trying to get some friction from his finger. David chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. I won't go inside without telling you."
Regina just nodded; she wanted him to stop talking and keep moving his finger. "Please…more."
David rubbed her clit in small circles. After a few minutes, Regina's legs gave out and she collapsed onto David. He wrapped his free arm around her waist, holding her close to him. Regina buried her face in his neck, biting on his skin at every new sensation. Her breaths were coming in rapid successions, shivers traveling throughout her body. "David… please…."
She did not know herself what she was pleading for but the Prince seemed to be able to anticipate her needs. He rubbed her harder and faster until her mind was foggy from the waves of pleasure. She felt a tingling sensation within her core and moaned loudly. She moved her hips in sync with David's movements until everything exploded within her. She screamed her release and fully collapsed onto David's chest.
David slowly brought her down from her first high before wrapping his arms around her body, holding her close. He kissed her forehead. "Ok?"
Regina nodded. "Better than good." Her eyes were closed, her lips parted in pure contentment.
David smiled and kissed her forehead. "It's how it's supposed to feel, sweetheart." Regina simply nodded. David did not want to stop there but he needed to give her a few minutes to recover. "I'm going to lay you down on the bed. I won't climb on top of you." Regina nodded against his chest.
David carefully laid Regina down on her back in the middle of the roses. Regina smiled as the scent from the flowers hit her nostrils. She reopened her eyes and smiled at the man lying next to her, watching over her. Her pupils were still slightly dilated from her first orgasm but she had stopped shaking. David kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose before taking her mouth into a searing kiss. "How are you feeling?"
"Good... better than good."
David smiled at her relaxed tone. He kept kissing down her jawline and her neck, spending a few minutes to suck on her pulse point. He knew he would leave a mark but she had probably marked him already herself. Regina bucked her hips in response, the new yet familiar sensations building up within her core. "Mmmmh…. David."
The man took his time. He kissed his lover's breast before tracing feather-like kisses down her abdomen. He left her core alone for the moment, settling himself flat on his stomach between her thighs. David kissed her sensitive skin, nipping gently, before sucking more deeply, repeating the cycle several times until Regina was bucking wildly on the bed, cursing his name.
David hooked his index fingers on each side of her panties and slowly brought them down. Once he slipped them off her body, he took a moment to admire the beautiful woman writhing on the bed. "David…"
David smiled before settling one more time in-between her thighs. He kissed her core, earning him a scream of pure pleasure. Regina's hands flew to his head. She laced her fingers in his hair and held his head firmly in place. David smiled against her before eating her properly. He ran his tongue over her entrance before settling on her clit. He nipped at her sensitive bundle of nerves before running his tongue against it soothingly. Soon, Regina was moaning and screaming incoherently as her pleasure was building inside of her. Her sudden release took him by surprise but he started to lap at her juices, bringing her down once more.
David moved back up toward her face, trailing kisses on her skin in the process. Regina was panting on the bed, her eyes closing in both exhaustion and pleasure. Neither of them would be able to take much more of that game. He kissed her softly, trying to get her attention. She moaned as she tasted herself on his lips and tongue. "Regina?"
"Mmmh?"
David kissed the tip of her nose. "Are you ready?"
Regina's eyes shot open. She looked into his blue eyes and the love she saw reflected in them made her decision easy. She nodded slowly and wrapped her arms around his torso. She slid her hands down his back until she reached the hem of his boxer. She slowly pulled them down to free his erection. David moaned as she started stroking him. He braced himself against the mattress, careful not to put his full weight on her. Regina reached up to capture his lips. "Please, go slow." His heart broke at the vulnerability in her tone.
David kissed her once more, wrapping his hand over hers around his member. "You're in charge, beautiful. Whenever you're ready."
Regina wrapped her free arm around his neck, pulling him down to her. David looked at her questioningly. "I want to feel you, all of you…." Tears ran down her cheeks as she parted her thighs and helped position him at her entrance. "Kiss me."
David gently laid on top of her, supporting his weight on his forearms. He kissed her deeply, waiting for her to release his member. Once she did, Regina wrapped her legs around him, her heels sinking into the small of his back. Never breaking the kiss, David pushed slowly inside her. They both moaned at the sensation of her walls fluttering around him. David entered her inch-by-inch, giving Regina plenty of time to adjust. Regina bit David's lip in her pleasure. She had never felt her body stretched this way before. Her core was molding itself to fit around her lover perfectly. There was no pain, just an aching pressure that David was soothing with every inch he added.
Once David was fully inside her, he started kissing down her jaw. He whispered in her ear. "You're so hot, Regina. How are you doing, sweetheart?"
Regina just moaned in response. She needed more and her hips started moving to provide some friction. David smiled against her skin. "I'm gonna start moving. It won't hurt you… you're so wet." Regina nodded and moaned loudly as David pulled almost all the way out of her before sliding back in. He kept his thrusting slow and gentle, the pace sufficient for both of them. It did not take long for Regina to come again. The pressure in her core, the friction on the spot deep inside her, and the rubbing against her clit on every thrust was enough to send her over the edge. She screamed her release, holding onto David's tightly.
David moaned as he felt her walls clenching around his member, gripping him on every spasm. Before he had time to come to his senses, he came deep inside of her. Regina moaned as she felt her lover's semen filling her. She kissed him deeply as she felt the waves of pleasure still rushing throughout her body. David gently rocked his hips, bringing them down slowly.
Regina whimpered as he pulled out of her. David immediately placed his hand on her core, trying to relieve some of her ache. "You're ok, baby. It's normal to feel a little sore." He waited for Regina to settle before removing his hand. "Better?" Regina nodded, tears of joy and relief suddenly filling her eyes. David laid down next to her and pulled her into his embrace. She buried her face in his neck and let herself cry.
David rocked her gently. "You're ok, honey. You are incredible, Regina." Although he had hoped for the evening to go as well as it did, Archie had reminded him that Regina may pull out at the last minute. But she had not. She had trusted him to not hurt her, to let her enjoy their lovemaking. David kissed her temple.
Regina sobbed one last time against him. "Thank you."
David looked at her, confused. "For what, honey?"
"For giving me the chance… for being patient… for loving me."
David kissed her once more. "Always." He moved to wrap the blanket over them as they were both shivering in the cold night air. Regina whimpered when he moved her. "You're ok?"
She nodded quickly to reassure him. "Just a little sore… I'm not sure I want to be touched again… tonight."
David chuckled. "Not tonight." He watched as she was losing her battle against sleep. "Get some rest."
Regina closed her eyes and fell asleep, safe and loved.
The End
Hope you enjoyed this story. It will continue in The Blaze. Here is a short sneak peek at the new fic:
The man tapped his staff three times on the ground. A blue light emanated from it and propagated outward. The villagers gasped in surprise and fear, recoiling from the light. The man smirked. "On the first day, they were too tired to fight for their families." The man hit the ground with his staff one more time.
"On the second day, they were marked for their cowardice." One more tap. "On the third day, they burned in shame." One more tap. "On the fourth day, their pain reverberated through their soul." One more tap. "On the fifth day, their cowardice ate them alive." One more tap. "On the sixth day, their cowardice choked them to death." One more tap. "On the seventh day, they could not recognize their loved ones." One last tap.
The man walked in a circle around his son. "Let this curse be known as the Blaze. Once in every generation, it will mark its preys and on the eighth day, the judgement will pass. Only the worthy will survive the curse." He tapped his staff one last time before disappearing in a black cloud.
Thank you all for reviewing, following, faving this story. A big thank to my beta (who finally joined this site: EvilRegalPanda92) for proofreading the story and making sure everything was internally consistent. If you really want to see something in the next few stories, PM me here or tweet me.
Without giving too many spoilers, I've already planned on answering these points:
- George (Book 2): yes, he will be dealt with shortly.
- Regina's journals will be mentioned again in all 3 remaining stories
- The letter from Cora: Book 4
- Leopold's reaction to reading Regina's journals: Book 3
- Henry and Regina: Book 2 (he owes her an apology)
The stories will diverge from the show and I'm not planning on incorporating Zelena in the arc.
