Regina's eyes flew open hearing her mother's words and her breath caught in her throat as Cora took a step back giving Regina a full view of her body on display. Her mouth dried the instant her dark eyes roamed over her mother's generous figure.

Cora smirked watching her daughter's cheeks redden as those dark brown eyes roamed the body on display for her. She saw her open her mouth to say something and quickly stepped forward, pressing against her body again, effectively trapping her against the table once more.

"Shh… it's alright, my dear." She whispered stroking Regina's cheek gently.

Regina swallowed hard and turned her head away closing her eyes and taking a shaky breath. "Mama… we can't. This… this is wrong. You know that."

"You're already mine, Regina. You have been for some time now. You know that. Who else would have you anyways? You can be such a bad girl."

Regina shuddered biting her lip and blushing again looking down.

"I'm sorry, mother."

"That's why you need me. Who else would put up with such disobedience, and disrespect? Nobody could love you like I do." Cora murmured wrapping an arm around Regina's waist, tilting her head up with her free hand.

"Y-you love me?"

"With every beat of my heart." Cora whispered leaning in and pressing their lips together gently.

It was like lightning was flowing through her. All doubts and hesitations Regina had were suddenly gone. Just the simple kiss was stirring something inside of her. It was as if she had butterflies in her stomach that were fluttering around trying to escape. It no longer mattered that it was her mother, just as long as those lips never left hers again.

Cora couldn't help but chuckle as she pulled back, a small whimper leaving her daughter's lips as she broke the kiss. She smiled stroking her cheek gently and running her thumb over her bottom lip gently.

"Patience, my sweet. There will be plenty more where that came from." She murmured brushing their lips together and feeling the tingle again as she dressed herself magically.

"But… please, mama…" Regina whined wrapping her arms tightly around her mother's waist and holding her close.

"All in good time." She murmured kissing the top of her head and rubbing along her back enjoying the warmth between them and the rare moment of tenderness in her daily life.
