Part 13

Finally

Emma brushed her lips over Regina's forehead, and then noticed they were alone. "Uh when did they leave?"

"Just a few minutes ago," The brunette said, smiling softly as she glanced up into her love's face.

The sheriff pulled her closer. "Good, because I have been wanting to be alone with you for quite sometime."

The queen smiled gently. "And why is that dear?"

"Duh, so I can kiss you." She said, and leaned in and kissed the mayor sweetly.

The queen's eyebrow slowly arched. "Oh, because I was thinking you wanted something else." Regina responded in a seductive purr.

Emma's eyes went wide, and before her mouth could fall open, Regina slowly grasped the sheriff's collar from her jacket and pulled her in tightly and kissed her. The blonde returned the kiss, settling even more against the other woman's body, her curves soft and warm. There was no urgency about it, just a sweet loving moment as they kissed and tongues touched until Emma was almost breathless. She could feel the love in every kiss and now the brunette's hands moved tenderly over her body in a slow caress that matched it.

"I love you, Regina." Emma whispered, her chest hurting just because she felt so much for her.

The queen traced her tongue lovingly along Emma's bottom lip before drawing back to look at her in the dimness, smiling. "I love you, too," she said tenderly. "And I think I always have, and I know I will forever."

Emma drew her knuckles along the mayor's jaw, searching her face, she only saw love there. Then, without saying anything else, she wrapped her arms around Regina and eased them over, and softly pressed her down on the bed. She kissed her as deeply and as passionately as only she knew how. She wanted her to feel exactly how Regina made her feel. The queen reacted immediately, with her mouth, with her hands, with her whole body, as she returned Emma's kisses with loving intent. The blonde wanted her so much, needing her with an irresistible claim, and Regina encouraged her with both soft words and action, whispering how much she loved her, and how much she wanted to show her.

Moving down, Emma's fingers trailed along the queen's throat stopping only to remove the small buttons to her leather vest then to her silk shirt. As she removed the last one she gazed down at the brunette. Trying to rein in her fervor she smiled. "Maybe we should wait; I mean this isn't the most romantic setting." She breathed.

Regina searched the blonde's face looking up at her eyes which revealed more than Emma thought they did, and she knew she wanted her just as much. "I don't want to stop; I want to be with you Emma Swan. So much in fact…..I don't think I could stop even if I wanted too." She leaned up and lightly brushed her lips against the sheriff's then shrugged out of her shirt. "And I can see it in your eyes that you don't want to stop either." She traced a finger down the blonde's cheek, then tucked a loose strand of hair gently around her ear. "Make love to me." She could feel her throat constrict and her eyes well up with tears. She used to rarely ever cry, but now it seemed that's all she did lately. And she knew it had to do with this incredible woman she held in her arms, her own personal savior.

Emma felt her strength recede away from those words, and blinked rapidly a few times, obviously struggling with her own emotions. And before her tears could find her eyes once more she leaned down to capture Regina's lips in a desperate, fevered kiss.

It was more, every time it was so much more that the Queen knew if she didn't have her now she surely would pass out from want. Emma wanted to go slow, and keep it sweet, but when did they go slow? Their kisses were passionate and deep, and they kissed each other with total abandon.

Emma's lips were searing an unforgettable imprint of her love for this woman, her tongue demanding greater intimacy as it explored the sweet depths of the brunette's mouth. Her hands moved quickly to help discard the queen's clothing, and then helped Regina remove her own.

Finally it was skin against skin, and the feel of her soft curves against her own burned a torrid path all through the queen's body. She felt the blonde's sharp intake of air and her body quiver against her own and she knew Emma was feeling exactly how she was.

Emma's body was on fire, and it was love and passion that filled her. She was just so in love with this woman she ached to feel even closer to her. When Regina gazed up at her she thought she had never looked more beautiful and it completely melted her heart; the one that she knew this woman owned. She wanted to tell her just how much when her lips were captured by the queen's red velvety ones and her voice was lost as she moaned into her sweet kiss. Inhaling deeply, as they finally parted for air she lifted up just a little, reaching out with her hand to draw Regina's leg against her own thigh. She wanted to get as close to her as she possibly could. Gently she positioned her body so that she could press herself against her, moist flesh on moist flesh, an intimate touch that sent chills of pleasure through the brunette, leaving her barely able to control herself. She arched up against her, and moaned the blonde's name in sweet agony.

Gazing up into Emma's adored features, Regina drove to get even closer to her and undulated against the maddening sensation, forcing herself to keep her steady and rhythmic movement, as every molecule in her body tingled in ecstasy. She fixed her eyes on the green depths of her loves; she hugged the blonde tight to her with one hand while, with the other hand, avidly caressed down the sheriff's soft yet muscular back. Her respiration rasped harshly in her ears, twirling around that of Emma's, both women gasping for breath as the pleasure built in steady waves.

Stomach clenching, she watched as Regina's eyes went out of focus, a cry ripping from the queen's throat as she climaxed beneath the blonde's persistent pressure, and Emma felt herself reach a peak, hovering for a brief second of endless anticipation, then following her into a spasm of uncontrolled shudders.

Both catching their breath with difficulty, Emma slowly moved off of the other woman, and curved herself into her side slipping her arms around the queen, then covered her mouth possessively. The princess kissed her until she thought she might pass out from lack of oxygen. Regina cupped Emma's face between her palms, returning each kiss adoringly. Both women held and soothed each other as the glowing warmth spread across their bodies as they relaxed with a tingled enjoyment.

"Emma," Regina finally breathed huskily after a few moments. "I have never..."

The blonde smiled, feeling so overcome with her emotions. "I love you so much Regina…..and me either," she replied quietly, trying to hide the knot in her throat. And as if the queen sensed it she felt her palms smooth up and down her back, slow circles of comfort and caring, pressing her lips gently over her forehead. Emma offered her own loving touches along her cheeks, nose, and eyelids, then over Regina's mouth, tasting her gently, tenderly.

"I can't believe how I feel." She breathed between kisses as she gazed up at the green eyes full of tears. "Oh Emma, my love…..its okay…." She said moving up and softly kissed her tears away. She understood exactly why she was crying, because she felt it too. It overwhelmed them not just with pleasure but with the deep emotion and connection they had between them. She continued to kiss her lovingly and wondered how it was possible for her to be this happy, after what had seemed an eternity of misery and wickedness.

Pushing that aside she swallowed and lowered her face slightly, kissing Emma on the side of her neck. "You know I think I've been waiting my whole life for this."

Emma blew out a rush of air to settle herself; she had so many emotions running through her, she was afraid if she blinked it would all disappear. She searched those beautiful dark eyes that she loved so much, seeing nothing but sincerity and truth in them. Her lip thinned slightly hiding her frown. "Thank you." She cried her voice husky and shaken. "Thank you for loving me."

Regina shook her head. "No…no, don't thank me for that." She said seriously, "you are a part of me Emma. You said nothing is written in stone, but I don't believe that in fact I believe we were written to be together. It's been always you Emma….always, she whispered. "I was just too filled with anger and revenge to see it. In fact if I would have searched deep within me I would have known."

The blonde blinked. "What?" she exhaled. "How… I didn't even exist yet."

The haughty grin the queen gave her made the sheriff smile. "Oh my dear….you did, you existed in my heart." Her grin widened as she leaned forward, kissing the blonde softly.

Emma enjoyed the soft lips over hers, the tender play of pressure and her sweet taste. She loved this, loved how Regina kissed her, how it felt to hold her in her arms. Feeling her smooth body fit perfectly against her own, she did have to admit that she was right. There just was no way to feel all of this without it…she did love this woman more than she ever knew was even possible. "So I was thinking if you hadn't placed this curse, what do you think would have happened to us?"

The brunette took a breath. "Honestly, I think somehow we would have found our way together. Our hearts are one Emma." She paused, her forehead furrowed. "Do you doubt this dear?" She questioned as panic laced the queen's eyes.

Startled, Emma shook her head. "Oh no… NO!" She tightened her hold on her. "I love you so so much, and please don't you ever doubt that. I was just thinking, if you hadn't placed this curse, would I still be with you? And I honestly don't like to think about not being with."

Regina gasped as a sharp pang drove deep inside she realized this is why she had rescued Snow White, and why she immediately felt connected to her in a strange way. She smiled as she gazed into the blonde's eyes. "My dear, I think we would have found our way. I was sent there that day to save your mother; we were supposed to meet. I just think somehow it got messed up by my mother's hands."

"Yes but you loved Daniel."

"Yes I did….but even if I had married him I don't think it would have lasted; somehow someway I would have ended up with you." She paused placing a kiss to the sheriff's lips. "In fact if I didn't let hate consume me I would have been able to see it wasn't your mothers fault. I know I would have falling in love with you the moment Snow placed you in my arms."

Emma slowly raised her brow, "umm and would that love be different?" She shook her head. "Because I couldn't imagine just being a friend to you."

Laughter filled the air as the queen chucked. "I seriously doubt it…way to much attraction for that."

The blonde grinned, she loved this side of Regina and she gathered her in her arms again and hugged her tightly. "I'm so glad for that." She smiled as she found her lips again. She felt the warm sensitive hands move over her body with loving intent and she welcomed it eagerly. Knowing her heart was full for the first time in her life, in fact it seemed impossible to contain any more, yet somehow managed to do so with every passing second.

Regina snuggled closer, seeking the warm shelter within the other woman's arms, wanting to get as close as she could. Emma sensed it and pressed as much of her body against the queen's as possible, wrapping her arms tightly around her, entangling their legs together, tucking her against her chest beneath her chin.

"I don't want to leave this….leave you, but do you think we should see what's happening outside?" The brunette said finally.

"Just stay…..right here just a little bit longer." Emma whispered low into the queen's ear.

Regina glanced at her, studying the sincerity in the deep green gaze, and then nodded briefly. "All right," she agreed, "For a little while longer." She smiled wryly drawing her princess closer and kissed her.
