Regina's stomach had just started to rumble when her assistant called by the phone, "Sheriff Swan is here."
"Thanks, you can go now. I think I'm almost done for the day," she answered pressing the button. All she got as an answer was a growl of her assistant.
Emma entered her office with two brown bags in her hands, struggling with them to open and close the door. Regina watched with an amused smile how the Sheriff held the two bags in one hand and slowly grabbed the doorknob.
"Hey," she said once she was finished.
"Hey yourself," Regina answered setting the papers she had been working on aside.
Emma left the bags on the desk and pulled out two takeaways, "I got pasta carbonara for you; you look like you like that. And for me I got pasta bolognesa." She handed Regina her order and left hers on the desk.
"Now, for beverage I got water for both of us because I was not sure what you would want so I went for the safe choice," she smiled at her when she handed her the bottle.
Regina opened her meal and the delicious smell of it reached her nostrils, "It smells good."
The Sheriff took a seat in front of her and opened hers. "Yeah, and it tastes good. I might have taken a bite or two on my way over," she nodded.
The Mayor looked at her and raised her eyebrows, "Well, it's only fair if I get a bite or two of yours."
Emma smiled, sliding the pasta for her to try it. Regina dug her fork and when she ate from it, she felt the tasty flavour in her mouth. She pushed it back to Emma, who waited for the verdict. "It tastes really good," she finally said cleaning her mouth with a napkin.
The Sheriff smiled and nodded in agreement before digging her own fork on it. While they were enjoying the food, Emma spoke with her mouth full, "How was your day?"
It took Regina by surprise. Not only because they were there to talk about another subject, but because it sounded somehow domestic by the situation they were in. She swallowed the water and cleared her throat, "Almost boring, actually."
"Well, I hate doing paperwork. I can only imagine how boring it must be doing it everyday like you do."
"Running a town is more than paperwork. It's about making the right decisions," Regina answered regally.
Emma stared at her, "So, more paperwork. It all leads to that. I prefer more action."
"It's not like you have much action here in Storybrooke. It has the lowest crime rate of the state," she said proudly before eating some macaroni.
Rolling her eyes, Emma waited until she swallowed to talk, "Still, more action than this, and less boring."
"Perhaps you could enlighten me about ways to avoid the boredom."
Their eyes met and Emma caught a glint of challenge in Regina's eyes before it disappeared. The Mayor lowered her gaze to her plate and pretended to be looking for something in it with the fork, and Emma smiled at it.
It had slipped from her mouth before Regina could stop it, but she then realised she didn't know in which point of whatever that was they were, so she changed the subject. "How's Henry?"
"He's being a drama queen about it. He sure picked that from you," she said pointing at Regina with her fork.
"I'm not a drama queen."
Emma looked at her raising an eyebrow as if to say 'are you sure?' and it made Regina roll her eyes, suppressing a smile. They finished their meals and once the Mayor was done, she stood up and rounded her desk, stopping next to Emma.
"Are you finished?"
Emma chewed the last piece of her food and nodded, handing the plate to the other woman when she offered to throw it away. Regina threw them on the paper bin as the Sheriff stood up to pick up the rest of the lunch. Once the desk was clean, they stood side by side, in front of the furniture.
"So…" Emma tried to start.
"So indeed." Regina leaned on the desk, not really sitting on it and crossed her arms, "I guess we should talk."
Emma took a step forward, standing closer to Regina, "It's not like we have to put a label on it, you know. I like this, I like us."
"I like this too," Regina agreed. "And I would like to go on with it."
Grinning at her, Emma nodded, "Yeah, I'd like that too. We don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to yet. We can go step by step."
"Step by step?" Regina asked tilting her head.
Emma's cheeks turned slightly red, "Yes, like going on dates and stuff."
"Dates? Like, going out?"
"Okay, secret dates then?" she laughed. "I just kinda want to do it right and get to know you."
Regina smiled at how adorable Emma was, blushing and shrugging her shoulders. "Secret dates it is," she just said. The Sheriff mirrored her smile and reached for her, sneaking a hand on her waist to pull her up from the desk. Her lips hovered for a second over Regina's, until the Mayor brushed their noses and smiled, and she leaned in to kiss her.
Regina's hands found its way to Emma's neck, tangling her fingers in blonde curls. The Sheriff tilted her head to allow her deepen the kiss, and Regina did so, sighing happily as she felt Emma's velvety tongue playing with hers.
Suddenly she separated and looked at Emma, "Wait, does this date thing mean we're going to have to wait for a few dates before the sex?"
Emma looked up, pretending to be considering it and then smiled at her, "I think we're past that."
"Good, then you can teach me those ways you know to not to get bored and have some action?" she asked, raising an eyebrow and biting her lip.
Emma was happily surprised by Regina and lowered her hands to her ass, "Here?"
"It's only us in the building," she said leaning into the Sheriff's touch.
Without a second thought, Emma kissed her as she palmed her delicious ass, already dragging moans from Regina's throat. She pushed her again against her desk, lifting her so she could sit. Instantly, the Mayor's legs wrapped around Emma's thighs, bringing her closer, and she tugged at the Sheriff's blue leather jacket, shrugging it off her shoulders and letting it fall to the floor.
All the while, Emma managed to unbutton Regina's ever white shirt, and after untucking it from her pants, she opened it so her hands could roam over her stomach. Emma's mouth flew to Regina's neck, biting and lapping at it, while the Mayor's nails grazed her back. Unclasping the bra swiftly, Emma sneaked a hand beneath it to squeeze a perfect round breast, feeling the nipple underneath her palm stiffen at the contact.
By then the silence was interrupted by their pants and groans. Emma lowered her hand and placed them on Regina's knees, going up her thigh and taking the shirt with her to allow Regina to open more her legs. Her thumb caressed trembling inner thighs as she raised her head to meet the Mayor's gaze; usually dark eyes were beyond darker now.
Both of their chest brushed together, agitated by their ragged breathing. Regina's lipstick as smudged on her lips and Emma was sure her own lips had some of that red lipstick. Seeing her like that, her mouth slightly open to catch her breath and with that look on her eyes, Emma thought it was the sexiest vision she'd ever see.
Regina's hip rolled, bringing back Emma's attention where she wanted and the Sheriff took the hint. She brushed up her thumbs until she felt the damp silk, sighing as she did. She massaged Regina, whose hips bucked against her fingers. The Mayor hugged Emma tightly, hiding her face in blonde waves, as she moaned for more into Emma's ears.
She was happy to oblige, pushing aside her panties and sliding her fingers inside her. She quickly found a pace, matching Regina's hips, and soon she felt her body tense, her nails digging in Emma's scalp. There was a moment of silence in which both of them held their breaths, followed by Regina's loud moan. The Mayor thanked they were the only people remaining in the building because she was sure the sound had echoed down the hallways.
Regina held onto Emma, recovering her breath, and felt Emma's arms surrounding her in an embrace. She sighed, and when she finally raised her head to kiss Emma, a phone rang. It was the Sheriff's, vibrating in her pocket as a melody filled the air.
Emma pulled it off her back pocket and when she saw the number, she looked apologetically at Regina and picked it up, "Henry?"
She listened to what he had to say and leaned in to place her forehead in Regina's shoulder, "Oh right, I had forgotten! I'll be there in 10…Yes, I will buy the toys….I'm sure they already have food Henry."
She nodded a few more times under Regina's gaze and then hung up, putting the phone back into her pocket. The Mayor raised a questioning eyebrow and Emma sighed, "I'm sorry, I had promised Henry I would take him to the Pet's Shelter today to give them some toys for Christmas. I'm pretty sure it's a plan to try and convince me about the puppy, but I couldn't say no."
Regina smiled at her son's good heart and nodded, "Only he would think about doing that."
"Yeah," Emma nodded. "I'd ask you to come but Mary Margaret and David are coming along and…"
"It's fine, maybe another time," Regina finished; in her state she had no intention on going along with an evening with the Charmings. At least not yet. Emma looked down at her chest and she suddenly realised how she must look like and blushed.
"It's a nice vision," Emma said smiling triumphal.
Regina rolled her eyes, smiling as well and pushing her back to hop down of the desk, "You better go; you wouldn't want to keep your parents waiting."
"I'm gonna ignore the way you just said 'your parents'," she said stepping back closer to Regina. She kissed her and had to force to separate again, "Secret date, let's say…tomorrow night?"
"Where?"
"I'll text you later, now I really gotta go," she kissed her one more time and this time it was Regina who separated.
"Go," she insisted, smiling at Emma's pouting. The Sheriff nodded and stepped back, raising her hands.
"Okay, okay, see you then." She waved her hand before closing the door behind her, and Regina leaned on the desk, staring at the door. She allowed herself a moment to close her eyes and smile before coming back to reality and buttoning up her shirt, making herself presentable enough to go out on the street.
