Poison & Wine
Chapter 15
It was a lovely day in Storybrooke. The sun was out shining bright, but there were just enough clouds that it wasn't overpowering. The slight breeze made it slightly chilly as Regina had put on her dark grey wool trench coat over her outfit. She was sitting at a picnic table while she watched her son and true love toss the football back and forth a few yards away.
Regina took in the comfy appearance of the blonde woman. She was wearing tight jeans that showed off her delicious rear and the mayor appreciated the view. The jeans matched well with the loose black and white baseball tee she was wearing. The former queen didn't understand how it was possible that the younger woman could look just as fantastic in a casual outfit as she did in her tight pink dress from the previous night.
As Regina watched her sort-of girlfriend teaching their son a few things about football, she felt a certain warmth inside her that she only felt when Emma was around. It was close to the feeling she use to get around Daniel when she was young and naïve, but with the blonde it was more powerful than that. The warmth was all consuming and downright irresistible. She couldn't stop her butterflies when the sheriff was around. She couldn't prevent her giddy and girlish smiles. She felt like a love-struck teenager, and that was definitely a problem.
Of course the idea of being in love with the savior one day wasn't too terrifying, but she was beginning to fall now and that idea was extremely terrifying. There was so much that they had to work through. They enjoyed each other's company, that much was true, but they had no idea if they were compatible for a long-term relationship. Regina had questions: Did Emma ever want to get married? Did she want kids? Was the sheriff into anything strange sexually? Regina had to know these things and she had to know soon. She didn't want to fall in love with a woman who didn't want the same things as she did for the future.
Emma was showing her son how to more accurately throw the football. She lined her fingers on the football laces. "All right, kid, look. If you want a tight spiral then you gotta finger these laces. It helps with accuracy, especially with deep balls downfield."
"Really?" The boy asked. "I didn't think it mattered."
The sheriff laughed softly. "Well you don't have to throw by the laces every time, but if you're going for a deep throw it will help with location." She continued to explain the process to her son and when they spread apart again, she sent a quick smile to the mayor before she threw the football as hard as she could.
Henry smiled wide as he caught the ball. "I didn't know you could throw that far."
Emma scoffed. They were a good distance apart so her voice was rather loud. "Have you not seen my guns, son? Let's see what you got. Hard as you can."
The young boy lined his fingers on the white laces and kinked his arm back before throwing it as hard as he could. The football nearly flew past Emma, but she managed to catch it over her head. Henry was jumping up at down. "Did you see that?" He yelled.
With a laugh, the woman nodded. "I did, kid. That was awesome! You've got a freaking cannon on you, dude. Keep doing that and you'll be playing in the NFL someday." She winked.
After a couple of tosses back and forth between them, they settled into a good rhythm. Henry was starting to make good spirals and his deep ball was getting more and more accurate. When Emma became out of breath and thirsty, she threw the ball one last time and made the time out symbol at her son after he caught it.
The sheriff walked over to her the picnic table and sat directly next to Regina. She smiled at her and motioned to the wicker basket on top of the table. "Got any water in there?"
"How does Gatorade sound?" Regina beamed and got out a mini bottle of yellow Gatorade, handing it to the younger woman. She watched as Emma chugged the plastic bottle until it was empty.
"Thanks." The blonde panted and wiped her face.
The mayor licked her lips as she watched several beads of sweat drip down Emma's face. "Tired?" She questioned. The younger woman nodded. Regina smirked. "You look rather sexy right now, Miss Swan."
Blonde eyebrows rose in surprise but she recovered quickly and grinned at her true love. "Yeah?" The brunette nodded. Emma looked around them. A father and his daughter were feeding the ducks in the pond across the park, and Henry was throwing the football up in the air. "If we were alone I'd show you how sexy I could be." She winked.
Regina gave a raspy chuckle. "Maybe later you could show me just how sexy you can be, dear." Her hand reached forward and trailed down a sweaty neck.
The sheriff swallowed thickly and licked her lips. "I- I would, but Henry-"
"Tsk. Tsk." The brunette shook her head in disappointment. "Don't go getting presumptuous on me now. We've only had one date."
"Which reminds me," Emma smiles, grabbing the teasing finger on her neck and tangling their fingers together discreetly in her lap, "you still have to answer my proposal from last night." She smirked.
The mayor rolled her eyes playfully then nodded. "Yes I do. And I will have your answer if you and Henry come over for dinner tonight." She offered. "We can even order pizza." She buttered up the deal.
"Hm…" The blonde pretended to think it over as she smirked. "I think we could make that work."
Neal walked into Granny's diner and sat down at an empty table with a deep groan. He was starting to get antsy in Storybrooke, especially with how suffocating his father was being. He wanted a relationship with his Papa, but he wanted a relationship with other people too. Emma, being the main one. It wasn't like he expected things to go back to the way they were before he found out whom she really was, but he wasn't expecting her to write him off completely.
They had an understanding before Neverland. Of course, he was dating Tamara so nothing romantic could happen, but they were in a better place then than they were now. He didn't know what to do. He tried talking to her, but that just made things worse. He figured that he had to show her how sorry he was and then maybe she would be open to the idea of them being together again.
Of course he would have to find a way to keep Emma and Hook apart because the two seemed all too close for his liking. He made a note to enlist Charming's help with that. Surely David didn't want his daughter dating a pirate.
"Hey Neal." Belle greeted and took in the conflicted expression on his face. She sat across from him. "Are you all right?"
Baelfire nodded, even though it was lie. "Yeah. It's just some stuff with Emma." He told her.
The auburn brown haired woman gave an understanding look. "Things aren't going to well?"
He shook his head. "No. I tried to talk to her about us, but I got off track and just made things worse. She told me to leave her alone." He rubbed his face. "I just don't know how to fix it."
"Perhaps she's just concerned with other things at the time. I've heard rumors that she's been asking people for a man with a lion tattoo on his forearm." Belle informed the man.
Neal furrowed his eyebrows. The tattoo flashed in his mind as he remembered the identity of who it was. Robin hood. "Why would she be looking for a guy with that specific tattoo?"
Belle shrugged. "I don't know for certain, but after you all returned from Neverland I overheard Snow and Tinkerbelle talking about Regina's true love. Apparently Tinkerbelle found him years ago and they mentioned a lion tattoo."
The brunette was confused. "Why would Emma be looking for Regina's true love?"
The librarian shook her head. "No idea. I'm not even sure that's what she's doing, but my guess is that she's trying to help Regina find her happy ending."
"Regina doesn't deserve a happy ending." Neal spat bitterly. "She's the reason Emma grew up in the foster system in the first place."
"She is," Belle started, "but Emma and Regina also share a son. They've become friends lately, especially after what happened with Sydney. Regina seems to really be turning it around."
Neal wasn't pleased to hear that his ex-girlfriend was trying to help the Evil Queen get something she didn't deserve, but then he sparked an idea. If Emma was looking for Robin Hood then Neal could help.
Baelfire knew that the thief was in the Enchanted Forest, so obviously he couldn't hand deliver the man to her, but maybe they could work together to try and find a way to get Robin Hood to Storybrooke. If Emma was truly looking for Regina's true love and Neal knew whom he was and where to find him, that was sure to score him some points with the blonde.
"You guys aren't staying for diner?" Mary Margaret asked her daughter as she and David were in the middle of making said meal.
Emma cringed in apology. "No. I promised Regina we'd go over there for dinner."
"We're making pasta." David informed his daughter.
"We're ordering pizza!" Henry yelled from upstairs.
Snow gasped. "Regina is ordering pizza?" Emma nodded. "And you're choosing pizza over a meal made with your mother's love?"
The sheriff rolled her eyes and grabbed a beer from the fridge before sitting at the bar. "What can I say? I'm in the mood for pizza."
"You and Regina have been spending a lot of time together since we got back from Neverland." Charming mused as he stirred the sauce before going to the island and cutting broccoli.
Emma's hands started to sweat as she got nervous. Something about her father's tone seemed… knowing. She squinted her eyes at him and he looked back at her expectantly. "Yeah, I guess." She cleared her throat and looked away, not wanting to give anything away. "We both just want to spend time with Henry."
"We'd like to spend time with Henry too." David pointed out. "Why don't you invite Regina over here and we can all have dinner together?"
'Because I want to be able to make-out with her and hopefully feel her up a little bit, Dad' Emma thought in her head. "Because… she already ordered the pizza." She lied. "I have to pick it up on our way over."
Over the last couple of weeks David had started noticing subtle changes in his daughter. While he was no longer worried about her friendship with the pirate, he was starting to worry about her relationship with the mayor. Something about the way Emma spoke about Regina seemed familiar to him. There was a look in green eyes that gave him a strange feeling of déjà vu.
He was starting to question Emma's sexuality. He was fine no matter who she was attracted to, but she had never said anything so Charming just assumed she was straight because she obviously was with Neal to have Henry. David was beginning to think that his daughter was developing a crush on the mayor. He wanted to bring it up to her, but he wanted to be sure about his suspicions first.
"Well what time will you be back?" Snow asked her daughter.
"Henry! Hurry it up!" Emma yelled then she turned to her mom. "I don't know." She told her. "We should be back by eight or nine."
The two blondes made eye contact and sheriff became nervous. She could tell her dad knew something. She just wasn't sure what.
Regina was in her home office, on her laptop. She was in the midst of Googling 'What is lesbian sex?'. She had originally just Googled 'Lesbian sex', but that brought her to a very graphic porn website and filled her head with images that she would rather forget. The pictures weren't unpleasing to the mayor, but she was wildly unprepared for such a graphic example of lesbian sex.
Eventually she found a useless article that was titled: A guide to lesbian sex. She read through it and was quite pleased to find that it wasn't as scary as she had originally thought. She thought that there would be nothing but sex toys and strange positions, but she was wrong.
The mayor jumped in her chair when she heard the front door open. "Honey, we're home!" She heard Emma yell as the door slammed shut.
"We come with pizza!" Henry screeched excitedly.
Regina a few different windows up and she was frantically trying to exit out of all of them when a blonde head peaked through her cracked office door. "Hey."
After a few clicks she saw her desktop picture and relaxed. She looked into green eyes and smiled. "Miss Swan." She greeted with a smile.
Emma noticed the nervousness of the older woman, but decided not to comment on it. Instead, she stepped into the room and offered her hand to her. "Come on, Madam Mayor. I'm starving."
The brunette closed her laptop and took Emma's hand in her own. "I thought I was going to order the pizza?" She raised an eyebrow. "I suppose now I'll have to order my own because I can guarantee that you and Henry got nothing short of meat lover's."
Emma laughed as she led the former queen to the kitchen. "There you go underestimating me again."
When they entered the kitchen, Henry was opening a box. "What did you order?" Regina asked.
Henry made a face. "Emma ruined the sausage pizza with mushrooms and then we got just cheese." He showed her, opening the second box.
"I told you that you can just pick off the mushrooms and give them to me." The sheriff pointed out before addressing her true love. "I got cheese for you because Henry said you didn't like any meat on your pizza."
Regina smiled at the savior. "That's thoughtful. Thank you. I didn't know you liked mushrooms." She mused.
The blonde nodded. "Oh yeah. I love me some fungus." She laughed. "I tried calling you to see if you wanted any veggies on your pizza but you didn't answer."
"My cellphone is charging in my room." She waved. "But for the sake of next time, I like mushrooms as well."
"Perfect!" Emma grinned. "Henry can pick off the mushrooms on his pizza and give them to you."
Regina laughed when Henry grumbled his disapproval. "You take the pizza. I'll get the plates."
Emma and Henry were playing video games while Regina did the dishes and put the pizza away. They were playing Madden and the sheriff was highly upset with the team Henry chose to play with. "They're cheaters!" She accused.
"They're also the highest rated team, Ma!" The boy argued as he played defense.
The savior scoffed. "Because they cheat." She grumbled. "No son of mine will be a Patriot's fan."
Henry laughed. "I live in Maine. What other team would I go for?"
"The Giants, kid." Green eyes rolled. "They beat your sorry Patriot's in not one, but two Super bowls."
The boy huffed. "They got lucky."
"At least they didn't cheat." Emma said right before she threw a touchdown. She stood up and raised her hands in the air, doing the touchdown sign. "Eat it, kid."
"Emma," Regina reprimanded from behind them. She stood in front of the blonde and gripped her baseball tee, yanking her down and moving to straddle her. "I'd like it if you'd be less crude around our son." She smirked, wrapping her arms around the younger girl's shoulders.
The sheriff stared at her wide-eyed, excited, as she nodded her head. "As long as you stay in this position I'll do whatever you want." She replied honestly.
"Gross." Henry groaned as Emma moved her arms around the mayor's waist and kicked the PAT on the game. "Just because I know you guys like to kiss doesn't mean I want to see it." He sent them a repulsed look.
Regina laughed at her son. "We haven't kissed yet, dear."
"I'll show you kissing-" Emma started and lifted a hand into brown hair, bringing their lips together firmly.
The mayor laughed into the quick kiss before forcibly pulling away. "Henry do you happen to have any homework you haven't finished yet?" Regina asked hopefully as she swatted the younger girl's wandering hands away from her backside.
After a stern look, Emma relented.
"No." The eleven year old said. "Emma, play the game." His mother had paused it after the extra point was kicked.
"Sorry kid." Emma chuckled. "I've got my hands full." She smirked at the woman above her.
Regina cleared her throat and ran her hands through the blonde hair in front of her before kissing her deeply. The sheriff nearly dropped the Xbox remote when sharp teeth nipped at her lip. But as fast and wild as the kiss occurred, Regina took it away and stood up all together. "Well I'll be in my bedroom if anyone needs me." She gazed seductively at the sheriff. "You two enjoy your game."
Emma swallowed thickly and licked her dry lips, completely dazed. Henry chuckled beside her. "Ma? You okay there?"
"Sorry kid, but I have a couple questions for your mom." She lied and tossed him the remote before standing up.
"Sure." Henry said. "So should I start a new game or just wait for you to come back?" He knew the answer to the question. He just wanted to hear his mom respond.
"Sounds good, kid." Emma yelled as she practically ran up the stairs. She stood in front of Regina's bedroom and lightly knocked.
"Come in!" She heard from behind the door.
The sheriff smirked and stepped into the master bedroom. She saw Regina sitting on the edge of the bed, her previous outfit traded in for a silk black robe. "Y-you changed." The blonde stammered.
A sultry smirk crossed the brunette's face as she crossed her legs slowly. She watched as green eyes tracked her movement. "I wanted to be comfortable."
Emma swallowed thickly at the low tone the mayor's voice took. "G-g-" She cleared her dry throat. "Good choice." She stepped closer to the older woman until she was directly in front of her. "You look sexy."
The former queen bit her lip as she watched the savior devour her with those eyes. "Before you pounce on me, dear, I have some stipulation."
"No sex. Got it." Emma nodded off before she jumped unto the plush comforter and lied down. "Come at me, baby." She laughed.
Regina laughed and crawled on her bed before straddling the blonde and holding her hands down. "While I'm glad to know you've remembered term six, I was doing some research earlier that informed me sex isn't the only way to achieve an orgasm."
"Quit it with the dirty talk before I lose my mind." The sheriff teased.
"Neither of us will have an orgasm tonight-"
Emma scoffed. "Maybe you won't but I plan to come it up when I get home." She smirked.
The brunette's eyes widened at the word choice. "Always a crude one, aren't you?"
Emma tried to lean to kiss the mayor, but she couldn't so she laughed. "I get it, Regina. No dry humping. I'll control myself." She tried to kiss her again, but the older woman wasn't going for it. She groaned. "I'm loosing wood here."
"I just want us to have clear understanding-" Regina started, but the sheriff had enough rambling. She flipped them over so the mayor was on her back and the savior settled between spread thighs.
"You done?" The younger woman asked with a smirk. She wrestled her wrists free of Regina's grip and rested her forearms on the mattress besides brown hair.
The mayor was breathing heavily as she felt the weight of the savior against her. The fact that she didn't have pants on only heightened her knowledge of their position. "I think so, yes."
Emma grinned down at the older woman. "Good." She whispered before leaning down the short distance and kissing her.
Regina moaned the second soft lips landed on her own. She moved her hands to tangle in blonde locks. It was always surprising to her how much she felt kissing the sheriff. Her body tingled at the softest embrace. Every touch they shared was sparked with a certain heat she was growing to crave.
The blonde moved one of her hands to trace down Regina's side all the way until she was cupping her ass. She groaned at the feeling of the firm backside before she squeezed.
Regina gasped into the kiss, surprised and delighted at the foreign feeling. She could feel the rough denim of the savior's jeans against her bare thighs. Slim hips rose up into the younger woman without Regina's consent as she shoved her tongue down Emma's throat. She didn't know what she was doing. She wasn't thinking. The friction was making her tingle with warmth between her thighs. Her hands slid down to the sheriff's waist and slipped under the thin tee she was wearing.
Emma moaned as the mayor grinded up into her. She tangled her tongue with the older woman's as she felt cold fingers sneak under the thin fabric of her shirt. Her stomach clenched as she felt those hands glide over her back and then stomach. The blonde was wet.
The brunette's finger's grazed a dangling belly ring. She sucked on the younger woman's bottom lip while she moaned her approval. Her hands continued to explore a taunt stomach. When she felt a subtle grind against her center, she carved her nails down Emma's stomach and pulled out of the kiss. "No dry humping, Emma." She reminded in a husky before she started feasting on the sheriff's neck, all lips, tongue, and teeth.
Emma growled and turned her head to the side so the mayor could have better access to her neck. She didn't grind her hips, but they were begging her to. She let out a deep chuckle as she felt Regina tongue her pulse point. "I'm anything but dry, baby."
Regina let out her own raspy chuckle, vibrating against the blonde's neck and causing her to shiver. Her nipples hardened through the silk robe at the feeling. Emma moved her hand from the older woman's firm ass cheek and slid down her thigh, stroking her thumb teasingly over the inside of the creamy flesh.
The brunette gasped out a rather loud moan. Emma took the opportunity to kiss the woman and suck her tongue into her mouth. She felt nails graze over her sides as the older woman's moan vibrated against her mouth. Her other hand had been resting on the mattress but she moved it to tangle in short brown hair, yanking her head upwards as she broke the kiss and licked up her neck.
"God." Regina groaned in pleasure, her thighs flexing on either side of the savior's hips. Emma felt thighs clench as she reached the mayor's sweet spot on her neck and sucked harshly. Nails dug into her sides as a wanton moan was released from the brunette. "Emma," She moaned, rocking her hips forward. "Jesus Christ…" She swore breathlessly.
The powerful suction against her neck was sending shockwaves through her body and directly to her center. She was soaked. She wanted the younger woman to take her, to teach her the art of making love. She was ready to be adored by Emma. She was ready to come.
The sheriff released her neck and travelled her lips to the woman's ear. "Always so crude." She whispered hotly before sucking Regina's earlobe into her mouth.
"I-I changed my mind." The mayor confessed as she desperately grinded up into the younger woman. "Dry hump me."
Emma quickly pulled her lips away from Regina's earlobe and looked into the blown pupils of her true love. "Wha-"
The brunette nodded her head frantically. "You heard me, Swan. Make me come."
With a loud groan Emma leaned down to kiss the older woman hotly. Their tongues collided as the savior slammed a thigh up between Regina's legs and pressed against wet panties. She could feel the dampness through her jeans.
"Yes." Regina hissed, throwing her head back as she felt the pressure between her legs building. She had never done anything like this before. She had never gotten off through her clothes. It was exhilarating and sexy.
Emma moaned as she watched the brunette losing control. She smirked. "That feel good, Regina?" The mayor nodded frantically, shutting her eyes as she grinded with the blonde. "You gonna come, baby?" She whispered against the older woman's ear.
"Mhm." The older woman said, barely able to think straight. She could taste her release. It was so close. She was unbelievable wet and the pressure against her clit was delicious. "Emma." She whimpered.
The savior went in for the kill. She moved her lips to the sensitive spot behind the mayor's ear and sucked. The body below her arched off the bed. A strangled moan left Regina as warmth and euphoria flowed through her. Emma's hand flew up to cover the former queen's mouth as she verbally expressed her ecstasy. Emma kept her rhythm up, allowing her true love to ride out the orgasm, and when she was certain it passed she slowed her thrusts before collapsing back against the older woman.
Regina's eyes were closed as her heartbeat and pulse rate were steadily going back to normal. She moved her hands out from under the blonde's shirt and blindly found the younger woman's shoulders. She let out a husky laugh of joy as she opened her eyes.
Emma didn't know why the woman was laughing but she grinned down at her. "What's with the laughter, Madam Mayor?"
The brunette gripped the sheriff's face between her hands and gave her a soft kiss. "That was wonderful, dear."
Emma grinned from ear to ear. "There's more where that came from, baby." She smirked. "All you have to do is lift term six."
Regina rolled her eyes and stroked the blonde's cheeks with her thumbs. "The things you make me feel." She confessed, mostly to herself.
The savior leaned down to kiss her swollen lips and then her nose. "Sounds like you've got quite the crush on me, Miss Mills."
With a laugh, Regina nodded. "That I do, Sheriff." She dragged the blonde's face to hers and leaned their foreheads together. "That I do."
"So, about that second date." Emma remembered.
Regina licked her swollen lips. "I'm in." She smiled.
The next day, Emma was at the station playing darts. She had paperwork to do, but it was Sunday and nothing ever happened on Sunday's so she was just procrastinating.
After the dry humping at Regina's the previous night, she returned home and received a rather vivid questioning from her father. Thankfully, her mother seemed oblivious and naïve as always, but David was definitely looking for something. She thought about telling Regina about her dad's strange behavior, but she didn't want to spook the older woman. Emma could handle Charming's questions. She just wished that she knew what he thought he knew. Surely he didn't know about the budding relationship between Regina and herself. There was no way he could keep a secret like that from Mary Margaret.
Maybe he just thought Emma had crush. The sheriff could deal with that. If worst came to worst then she could just reveal her sexuality to him. While she wasn't jumping at the opportunity to share her sexual orientation with her same age parents, she at least knew they wouldn't shun her. It wasn't her sexuality she was worried about sharing with them- it was the identity of her true love. That was bound to get big reactions.
Emma made a note to talk to Regina about when to tell Snow and Charming. The savior was confident that the relationship she was building with the mayor would eventually make it to girlfriend status. Things were going smoothly and she was grateful for that. She was happier as of late. Regina was happier as well. They were both in a good place. Emma hoped that in a few weeks they could step it up a bit and let their relationship be known to the town.
The sheriff had just made a bull's eye when she noticed a figure in her peripheral vision. Green eyes looked to see her ex-boyfriend smiling widely at her.
She sighed deeply. "What're you doing here, Neal?"
Neal stepped closer to her, hand gestured out. "Look, I know you told me to leave you alone, but I heard you were looking for the guy with a lion tattoo on his forearm."
Blonde eyebrows furrowed. "Yeah, I was. So what?"
"So I know who he is." Neal explained. "And I know where to find him."
Emma felt her heart sink.
Don't hate me! Lol. Just a reminder that while we all know that Robin Hood isn't Regina's true love, Emma doesn't. We'll see how she handles Neal's proposal to help bring Robin Hood to Storybrooke. I won't say if he's going to be in the story or not, but just know that I think he's a douche. Slight angst is ahead for our favorite Sheriff. Hook wasn't in this chapter & I kinda miss him so he'll play a big part in the next one.
But on a happier note, this story has reached over 200 followers & nearly 100 reviews! That's super sweet, guys! :D Thanks for all the love.
Also, no hate about the whole Patroits/Giants thing. I just picked two teams what were near Maine. I don't hate either team. Hah.
Review for me!
