The car sped past the lake that they had spent the day at yesterday as a family. Regina's birthday mix CD was playing - a sure sign that Emma was trying to be romantic. She knew that the memories that Regina had that she associated with this music were happy, loving, sensual memories and so it was Emma's go-to music when she wanted to create the mood. Regina smiled when the first track played. She was all too aware of Emma's ideas connected with this particular CD - but Emma really didn't need to worry about getting the mood right - they had just got married, they were on their honeymoon: Emma was already guaranteed to 'get some'!
The road through the forest was dark and winding, so Emma had slowed down considerably. So much so, that when Emma slowed down to take a turning off the main road, Regina didn't notice until the road turned into track and was rough to drive along. The bumpy road had her looking suddenly at Emma, as if she had taken a wrong turn. One look to Emma's face though showed that she knew exactly where she was going. Regina smiled sweetly, but her voice was anything but sweet. "Emma, darling…. I trust I'm not going to regret giving you sole responsibility for our honeymoon. If I spend a week in a tent, you're going to need more than this CD to get me in the mood….." Emma smiled at her, reached over for her hand and squeezed it. "I promise, my queen, that I haven't organised anything you'll hate. Just a few more minutes and then I'll explain everything." In fact, less than a minute later, they were driving through a small gateway and into the glare of headlights facing them. "Oh good, he said he'd wait here…" Emma said to herself. Regina looked over to her but no explanation was given. As they approached, the car drove past them, and David waved as acknowledgment to them. Regina's confusion multiplied, but still Emma remained silent. The car came to a halt and Regina looked away from Emma, to see where they were.
They were parked outside an old log cabin. It was a decent size and looked to be in fairly good shape. There were garden candles lit to give some light to access the door and find their way in, but Regina laughed when she looked down. Next to her door, and running all the way to the door of the cabin was a red carpet. She looked over to Emma who was smirking, "only the best for you, beautiful." And she squeezed her hand as she kissed her cheek. Regina responded with a "humph". She looked back towards the cabin. "You've brought me to the middle of the woods, just a few miles from where we live, for our honeymoon Emma. I'm intrigued as to what you think is 'the best'". Emma grinned as she got out of the car and rounded it to open Regina's door. She pulled Regina out and put her hands on her hips. Regina's arms went around her new wife's neck and she leaned in close. "Trust me?" Emma asked. Regina moved back just slightly, so that she could look Emma in the eye. "With my life, darling" she replied. They kissed lazily, languidly, until Emma felt Regina shiver. However intimate the kiss, it didn't stop Regina from feeling the cold night air on her shoulders. Emma kept her arm around Regina's waist and led her towards the cabin, but stopped her once they got to the door. "You know, beautiful, I would love to do the traditional carrying you over the threshold bit, but in this dress, I think we'd be lucky to make it inside, you know." Regina laughed at her as she continued. "I asked David to come out and make sure everything was ready, you know, light candles and stuff like that. Other than that, we're alone, so here….." and she turned the door handle and swung the door open.
Regina gasped as the interior of the cabin was revealed. The outside was old and rustic, but the inside looked like a penthouse suite. White panelled walls and plain hardwood floors had obviously been recently fitted. As she moved in through the door, she could see doorways leading from the living room that she now stood in with a large stone fireplace dominating the room. A small kitchen area was next to it. Emma allowed her to wander around, without uttering a word. She ran her hand across the back of the sofa and then wandered through the first doorway. Emma followed her, wanting to see her reaction to the bedroom. It was also panelled white and had an imposing four poster bed in the middle, covered in soft, silky bedding. This room had tea lights lit all around it and was just about the most romantic room Regina could imagine. She spun quickly, to see Emma hovering in the doorway, hoping for approval. She marched over to Emma and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. She desperately hoped that she conveyed her feelings to her lover through this moment of ardent tenderness. When she retreated from the kiss, Emma stood with her eyes closed, mouth open just a little as if the kiss had taken her by surprise. "It's incredible Emma!" Regina whispered, "How ever did you find this?" Emma smiled and grasped her hand, "come sit down, my wife" her grin grew larger at the title she could now use, "I'll explain everything."
They snuggled together on one of the huge sofas, drinking the champagne that had been left out for them. Even though their dresses got in the way a little bit, Regina's head was laid on Emma's shoulder and Emma's cheek was against Regina's hair. They sat in silence for just a little while, listening to the sounds outside the cabin and each other's breathing, just enjoying the moment. Until Regina just couldn't take any more. "I believe you were going to explain….." she muttered into Emma's neck. Emma smiled and lifted Regina's hand that was resting on her thigh, bringing it to her lips. She breathed out, deeply. From nowhere, she was suddenly overcome with emotion. With her new wife in her arms, she found tears in her eyes and she struggled to speak. Regina looked up at her and smiled sympathetically. "Emma, my beautiful new wife, I love you. I love you now, more than I have ever loved you. And I can't wait to see how our future works out." She pushed herself up just a little bit and pressed a kiss to the corner of Emma's mouth and then settled her head back down, content for Emma to begin her explanation when she was ready. Eventually, Emma cleared her throat and in a low voice, began to speak. "It's a long story how it happened, but this is Granny's cottage. She gave me the key to come out and have a look and it was a mess. So David and I have been spending our lunch breaks here, stripping it all out and making it look good enough for my queen." Emma felt Regina's hand grasp hers tighter and she was sure if she looked, she would see tears. "Granny was so pleased with the work that we did here; she's given it to us." Regina's head snapped up at that bit of information. "Well, not us actually. She said she's got no use for this place any more and because of all the work that's been done, it doesn't really seem like it belongs to her. So she decided to sign over the deeds to our boys. Calon and Henry have this place held in trust until they are old enough to take ownership of it. Then they can let it as a holiday home or whatever really." Regina's tears now were coursing down her face. "You've done all this for us to have a honeymoon? Oh Emma, I don't know what to say…." Emma smiled at her, "well, speaking of the boys, they are the reason I was looking for a honeymoon destination so close to home. I can't wait to spend time alone with you and I know you feel the same, but we've never been separated from them, and so, we have the first three days and nights just us and then Ruby will bring them out here so that we can have a family holiday together. I thought you'd want your boys nearby…." Regina was silent and for once, Emma really had no idea what her reaction might be. The silence was beginning to feel heavy and Emma moved to put her glass down. Regina moved swiftly to do the same and as Emma sat back, Regina was quick to straddle her lap (as gracefully as possible in a wedding dress!). "I love you my Emma. I love you and love you and love you. I can't believe you've gone to all this work for me. If I ever had any doubts for your feelings for me, sitting here, I can see the way you love me; all around me. I knew marrying you was the right thing, but….. after the first one…. I was still a little scared. And I'm sorry Emma, because you don't deserve that. You don't deserve me to have any doubts. And I don't honestly I don't. Not any more. I'm so in love with you Emma. So in love…." And she promptly burst into tears. Emma laughed and pulled her flush against her, so that she could give her the protection she needed in her moment of vulnerability. They sat there together, until Emma started to wriggle about. "Regina, I've got pins and needles in my legs. If you want tonight to be a bit more active than this, you're gonna need to get off me soon."
Regina blushed as she got up, but she held her hand out for Emma to take and she led her slowly to the bedroom. There were still candles burning and Regina took a moment to just take in all the small details of the room. On the pillows, were orchids. The same ones from their wedding bouquets. And there was a bottle of champagne sitting in ice by the side of the bed. She spotted Emma's iPod docked on the dresser and she turned to Emma laughing. "There had better not be Madness queued up ready to play on there….." Emma laughed and went over to the player. "Oh no Regina, you chose a Madness song to dance to at the wedding. It will forever be known as our song. You will never get away from it now!" she pressed play, and thankfully a song that Regina loved started playing. (Paul Weller's You Do Something to Me) Regina sashayed over to her wife and pulled her in for a kiss. It became passionate very quickly. While they still swayed to the music, their lips and tongues danced hard and fast together.
Emma's hands were also busy. She was attempting to find the clasp that would undo Regina's dress. Finally, she found the small zipper and inched it down slowly with one hand, while her other crept in to feel the skin beneath the dress. When the zipper was all the way down, she stepped back to see Regina revealed to her. And what a reveal. Apart from the traditional garter, Regina was completely naked underneath! Emma dropped to the bed, her breath stolen from her body. Regina stood, in all her glory, smirking at her. "Have….have you…..been naked under there all day?" Emma exclaimed still quite breathless. Regina winked at her and sauntered closer, not quite within Emma's reach. "When we were planning the wedding, you asked if you could choose my lingerie. Do you remember?" Emma nodded, desperately trying to concentrate on Regina speaking and not the glorious body displayed in front of her. "Well, when I suggested that maybe underwear you chose wouldn't work with my dress, you got rather excited at the thought of me not wearing any…. So I thought, as a little gift to you….." and she gestured to her nakedness. Emma leaned forward and grabbed Regina's hand so that she could pull her forward. She gripped her hips, her thumbs tracing circles as she took in the incredible body before her. Finally Emma closed her eyes and leaned to drop a kiss just above Regina's belly button. Regina's hands went to Emma's head, so she continued to kiss her stomach, paying careful attention to the stretch marks gained from carrying their son. Regina had been embarrassed when Emma had first caressed them, but Emma had told her they were beautiful. And she was adamant when Regina argued with her. Regina had to admit to loving the marks left behind from Emma's pregnancy too.
Regina tipped Emma's head up so that they made eye contact. She was loving the attention Emma was giving her, but she needed more. Emma stood, wrapping her arms around Regina and for just a moment she was dizzy. The image of her still clothed in her wedding gown and Regina completely naked send all the blood rushing to her groin, so that she was pulsing with need for this beauty in her arms. They kissed once more, and Regina manoeuvred Emma until the back of her knees hit the bed and she fell onto it, taking Regina down with her. They kissed languidly, lying across the bed, with Emma's feet still on the floor. Regina's hands were busy in Emma's hair, while Emma's were running up and down Regina's back, massaging her butt, feeling her undulating against her. Regina pulled away from Emma, panting. She nuzzled her nose against Emma's and purred "I need to taste you Emma." Emma jolted as she said it. Her body reacted at those words coming from her new wife and she pushed up a little, so that she could get to the fastenings on the back of her dress. Regina had other ideas though. She pushed Emma back down and slid down her body until she was kneeling on the floor. Emma watched her, puzzled, until Regina pulled at the hem of the dress and her head disappeared under it. Emma flopped back down on the bed as she felt her legs being pushed further apart and her underwear being moved just to the side. Although Regina's voice was muffled, Emma could clearly make out "Emma, you're so wet!" and then a long moan, just before a hot tongue swiped through that wetness. Emma arched off the bed at the first touch and groaned loudly. Curse words fell from her mouth as her talented lover licked and sucked her way through the moisture, finally pushing her fingers in as she sucked on her hard clit and Emma screamed Regina's name as she was pushed over the edge. Regina continued to lick lightly as Emma's spasms and aftershocks were felt on her fingers. Finally, Emma stilled and Regina pulled the dress up, so that she could get out from under it. Emma was lying very still and for a moment Regina wondered if orgasms could kill….. Then Emma opened her eyes, the bright colour shining as she stared at Regina and all Regina could do was climb up Emma and kiss her passionately.
Regina kissed around Emma's face, giving her a chance to catch her breath. When she moved back to kiss her square on the mouth, Emma grabbed her arm and stopped her, her eyes serious and unwavering. Regina stared back at her, waiting. Emma coughed a little to ensure her voice still worked. "I'm finally your wife, Regina." Her voice filled with awe. Regina saw the tears forming in her eyes. She knew how important it had been to Emma to belong. "And I'm finally, forever yours Emma. I'm never letting you go now. You're my family, my home and my heart. I love you, my Emma." Emma smiled, tears running into her hair because of her position. All she had ever wanted was to be part of a family. And even after moving in with Regina, Calon's adoption, the engagement, everything was still unstable. As a child she was sent away, without a thought or a care. And things like that still happened when you got to adulthood. But now she had a piece of paper. A legal, signed contract that bound her to this glorious woman for life. And she could look and touch that piece of paper and know it meant she belonged. It wasn't that she believed Regina would throw her aside, but life had taught her that even people who love you don't always get it right.
Emma pushed Regina up, so that she could sit up and Regina straddled her, her wrists crossed behind Emma's neck. Emma cupped her wife's face and kissed her softly then whispered "will you help me out of this dress? What you just did was amazing, but I need to feel you against me." Regina nodded her head and nuzzled her nose against her cheek before hoping off her. She stood at the side of the bed, holding her hand out to help Emma up. As she stood, Emma's eyes darted up and down Regina's body. Regina, though not as confident of her body as she had been years ago, knew that Emma loved what she saw, and that was all that really mattered to her. She pulled Emma against her and whispered "it's all yours my wife." Emma closed her arms around Regina's back and began to sway to the music that was still playing. As they danced slowly, Regina began to lower the zipper on the back of Emma's dress. Regina pulled the bodice away and down and helped Emma step out of the dress. She gasped at the sight presented to her. Emma wore a white lace see through basque. There was lace and ribbons and Emma just looked so incredibly beautiful. It was something that Regina would never have imagined her wearing, but she looked heavenly. "When I first saw you in your wedding dress, I'd never seen you look more beautiful than at that moment Emma" Regina breathed. "But this….you look stunning. I'm a very lucky woman darling." Emma blushed at those words and pulled Regina in to kiss her. This kiss went from being soft and gentle to passionate and messy, very quickly and the women manoeuvred their way over to the bed. Regina crawled up so that she lay against the pillows and then beckoned Emma to join her. Emma straddled her hips and allowed Regina the opportunity to start undoing the laces. Regina savoured the moment, pulling at the ties slowly, building anticipation. Emma's breathing was hard and heavy and once the basque (and with it, the stockings) was removed, Emma crashed her mouth against Regina's. Regina's hands stayed busy, massaging Emma's butt and pushing her panties off. Once she had them off too, her fingers went back to playing in Emma's wetness. Emma groaned and ripped her mouth away from Regina's, shaking her head. Regina frowned, puzzled at Emma's reaction. "I want us to come together…" Regina nodded and they kissed again, slower this time but with passions still rising between them. Emma moved off Regina and began kissing down her body. She laved at Regina's breasts, kissing and sucking as Regina writhed and moaned. Her head dipped lower to swirl around Regina's bellybutton, and she approached Regina's centre, Regina stopped her, her hand pulling on Emma's hair. "Together…" Regina murmured. Emma quickly dropped a kiss down there and winked at Regina as she slowly climbed back up her body, kissing and licking as she went. By the time she was back and kissing Regina's lips once more, Regina was quivering under her touch. Emma could feel Regina's hand shaking slightly as she slid it down Emma's body. She cupped her mound feeling the heat there, before she slid two fingers in and began slowly pumping. Emma ground her hips into Regina's and followed her lead, her fingers playing through the wetness she found, until she pushed inside. They ground together, pushing against each other, their fingers pistoning at a pace. Regina could feel Emma's walls start to clench and she knew she was about to go over the edge too, so she hooked her fingers a little and both women, stiffened - Regina gasping Emma's name and Emma biting down into her love's shoulder. They stayed in that position as spasms rocked through them both, sharing breath and looking deep into each other's eyes.
Emma rolled off Regina, bringing her wife with her to lie across her chest. Their breathing was heavy and their skin was damp. They lay in a bubble of post orgasmic bliss, just holding and touching and caressing softly. Regina was the first to break the silence. She kissed Emma's neck and propped herself up a little, resting her cheek in her hand. She gazed at Emma, lovingly looking at her new wife. Emma squirmed at the attention that was being paid to her. "What?" she jostled Regina. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Regina smiled and ran her fingers down Emma's face. "I just love you so much Emma….."
The next few days were filled with walks through the forest, meals ate in front of the huge fire, long chats about life, the past and the future. But mostly it was filled with love making. Long glances, turned into loving caresses, which became heavier and lust fuelled. The days passed by quickly, but they both admitted that although the time spent together was bliss and they loved not having to share, they were missing their boys. So on the last day, when the boys would be dropped off early evening, Emma and Regina spent hours making the cabin ready for them. Emma made up the bed in the other room, and made sure that there was nothing that Calon could break, put in his mouth or bang his head on. Regina was busy baking for them - making little cupcakes and homemade pizza.
Emma had been pacing back and forth for at least fifteen minutes, before Regina grabbed her. "They'll get here, when they get here Emma." And she kissed her. It started off as a way of distracting her, but it soon became something they were lost in. Emma's hands grabbed Regina's butt and Regina's hands traced patterns up and down Emma's back. They moaned together, holding on tighter. They were lost in enjoying themselves. So lost, in fact, that they missed the door opening and two boys joining them. The first thing they knew of the arrival of their sons was Henry's cry of disgust as seeing his parents kissing. They jumped apart, blushing furiously. Henry stood just inside the doorway, holding tightly to Calon's hand, with Ruby and David behind them doing very little to hide their smirks. "Aw come on moms. You've been on your own for ages. Haven't you had enough of that yet?" Emma smiled and let go of Regina. She made her way over to her sons. "One day Henry, you'll fall in love and you'll understand how you can never get enough of kissing the woman you love!" Regina went over too and knelt down next to Calon, taking him in her arms. She was oblivious to those around her as she pushed her face into Calon's hair and breathed her little boy in. She reached up and pulled Henry down too, so that she could hold her boys at the same time. Emma smiled at Ruby and David who were already retreating and she mouthed 'thank you' as they made their way to David's truck. She turned back to her family. Calon was now seated in Regina's lap, his arms tight around her middle hugging her as if she had been gone forever. Henry was kneeling to her right, his head on her shoulder and his arm around her back. Emma closed the door and leaned against it, looking down at her perfect family. She was taken back to that moment, just after Calon was born, when the three of them were snuggled together on the hospital bed. It was that moment that she knew she would do anything to be part of this family. She adored each of them individually and as a family. And now, here she was, mother to those incredible boys and wife to the beautiful woman. She was ripped out of her musings by a little voice "Mama. Come!" Regina and Emma looked at each other startled, and then looked to their youngest son. Two words put together for the first time. Regina squeezed him tight as Emma launched herself at her family. She kissed Calon on the top of the head and squeezed them all together. It was the perfect family moment, cheesy, but perfect. Emma lifted her head and kissed her wife. "Aw Ma-aa" Henry whined…
Okay folks. That brings my Swan Queen writing to an end. Never say never, but I've run out of stories to tell. Thanks for sticking with me through it. I've enjoyed creating this little world with Calon in it. I feel like he's become a real little boy as I've written his stories. If you have ever written a review or a PM, thank you thank you thank you, from the bottom of my heart. If you have ever had a kind thought towards these stories, thank you for liking them. If you have followed the stories or me, thank you for coming on this ride with me - I hope it was fun for you. If you ever want to say hi on Tumblr, I'm Bitsyvon over there. Don't be shy, I won't bite. Hard…
As I'm sure you'll know by now, Calon means 'heart' in Welsh. So here's a bit of Welsh to say goodbye with.
Diolch am ddarllen. Rwyf wrth fy modd I chi gyd.
