I don't own these characters; Disney/ABC does.
A/N: more of that lady-loving these two have to catch up on.
22: The Call of the Wild
Emma moaned as Regina yanked on her new leash, pulling her closer to Regina's tasty clit. Wearing the collar and leash was so much more erotic, as these were specifically for sex. If she put on this collar, Regina immediately knew Emma wanted to fuck. That idea in and of itself made Emma wet and she had to resist touching herself.
The new collar and leash were more amazing than Emma fathomed from the symbolism alone. It was to the point where she had come the first time Regina jerked the leash as a test. She did not know she was able to do that until that very moment. She had some help, as Regina inserted her a tail — a full, golden tail, like a cat. It was held in a place with a perfectly sized butt-plug.
Emma shifted, bending more, putting her ass up. The tail moved with her and sent jolts down her spine. Fuck. This was so fucking mind-blowing. It made her want to give Regina that much more ecstasy, made her want to drink in Regina's passion until she drowned.
She tried to take more of Regina into her mouth, tongue trying to go everywhere. Taking Regina by the hips, she pulled her closer and jostled the ears on top of her head. She got funny little erect ears, also like a cat, but they moved, going up or down if they sensed the movement of her head. She had ordered these, as they seemed whimsical and funny. The comedy did not take away from the sexiness of everything else.
Regina hissed and bucked. "Right there, Duckling."
Emma wiggled her ass, making her tail wag, as she sucked on Regina's clit. There was a sharp pull to the leash as Regina's thigh shook in Emma's grip. Emma checked on Regina, waiting to see if she had another in her.
Regina's eyes were closed, body glowing with the sweat of four orgasms. Her chest heaved and Emma appreciated the sight of her rising, flushed breasts with hard nipples. So tempting. So, give in already.
Emma caressed the supple thighs still pressed into her hands and kissed her way up Regina's body. Brown eyes opened halfway, watching her as she kissed below the swell of Regina's breasts. She flicked a plump nipple, enjoying the texture. Regina ran a hand through Emma's hair.
"You are such a good girl," Regina whispered.
Emma grinned. "You taste so damn delicious. I never wanna stop eating you."
"Considering you didn't want to come up for air, I can believe it. Do you want anything?"
"Beyond admiring my handiwork?" Emma sat up, touching her collar. She shook at the smoothness of the leather, the sensation of being Regina's pet, Regina's Duckling. This is the best of all possible worlds.
"You did so well. I can't feel my legs," Regina replied.
"You're all red and sweaty. I love it." Emma traced around Regina's body with two fingers. She was tempted to put those fingers somewhere, but held off. Regina probably needed a rest.
"I love you."
Emma shivered. "Shit. Um…" She blew out a breath, needing to keep this going, forever if only it were possible. "Stay here."
Regina smiled, very aware of what Emma planned as Emma moved off of her. She scrambled to her bedside table drawer and pulled out the strap-on she favored. She liked to keep it close, but they should probably start a pleasure chest.
"You up for wearing it?" Emma asked, holding up the harness and dildo, a pale purple phallus, and seven inches long with just the right girth. Regina wielded this thing like it was part of her, but she was probably too exhausted now. "I'll ride you, so you don't really have to move."
A tired smile spread on Regina's face. "I am very up for that."
Emma chuckled and fitted Regina up. "Oh, you want the thing inside of you?" She was not sure if Regina had it in her to come again.
"Yes, please. I enjoy it when we make horrible attempts to climax together," Regina replied as Emma put everything in place and tightened the harness.
Emma outright laughed at that. "You already know I'm not lasting long." It was a surprise for both of them to find out how quickly Emma got there when she had her tail in. The first time she wore it, Regina barely eased a finger inside of her and she saw stars for almost a full minute.
Regina purred, a sound that made Emma's insides melt. "That's fine. You've been so wonderful. You deserve all the treats, Duckling."
Emma's face almost hurt with her giant grin. She moved, swinging a leg over Regina to straddle her. As soon as she was positioned on top of Regina, hands caressed her torso, touching her as if she were made of glass. She loved these light, delicate touches. Regina thought she was precious and touched her as if she was such. No one had ever touched her like this.
"I can feel your strength against my fingertips," Regina said.
"I'm strong because of you, but you could break me, too," Emma replied, biting her lips. The touches could be a little more rough.
"You want to be broken?"
Emma nodded. "You'll put me back together when it's all over." She did not care what Regina did to her as long as she did something. She moaned as Regina palmed her breasts, pinched her nipples, and then dragged her blunt nails down Emma's abdomen.
"Such trust. I will always take care of you," Regina whispered as if it was a secret, but they both knew it to be true.
A hand settled between her legs, caressing her pearl. Emma let out a loud moan as bliss shot through her. She braced herself, hands on the bed, back arched to roll her hips against Regina's finger. This was too much already.
"Shit, I gotta put it inside me." Emma moved, taking hold of the dildo, and rushed to sink on it.
"Be careful, Duckling. You're precious," Regina reminded her.
Emma gave a quick nod, holding the dildo right where she needed it. "It's okay. You have no idea how wet I am right now." She lowered herself, moans pouring from her.
"Take your time, my love. You're so beautiful, so precious. Such a good girl," Regina said.
Sparks burst down Emma's spine, settling between her legs with every other bit of pleasure. She smiled at Regina as she took the dildo to the hilt and every nerve sizzled with glory. Regina's hands went to her hips, stroking her sides as Emma moved. Emma's eyes fluttered shut as she gave herself over to the ecstasy of the toys inside of her and Regina's hands on her.
Emma was careful of her movements, not wanting to hurt Regina with her weight, but lost all control when Regina's fingers settled between her legs again. Those fingers on her clit with perfect pressure were enough to make her head swim. She might not last a minute, as her body jerked and her hips sped up without any thoughts. Her body trembled as pleasure overloaded her and she collapsed onto Regina. The skin contact was it.
Emma screamed into Regina's collarbone as her body trembled, pulsing around the toy. Fireworks exploded through her veins and then turned to a volcano of pure bliss as Regina pulled on her collar. HOLY SHIT! It was like the lights went out in her head and all she was able to do was experience this event through every nerve on an endless loop.
How was it possible for something to be so damn awesome? How was she not dead from such an overflow of emotion? It was like being in a sea of warmth, affection, and raw bliss.
Emma was certain her brain and body were mush, held together by only satisfaction. She could not form a thought for a long time, only exist pressed against the warm form of her love. Sensation came back as her back was tenderly stroked and her scalp was scratched. Whispers tickled her skin.
"You are such a good girl, so precious. I love you, my good girl, my precious Duckling," Regina repeated like a mantra, hands always busy, making sure Emma's skin never forgot the words.
Emma sighed, ready to drift off, wrapped in a cloud of love inside and out. "I love you, too. You're the best."
"All right. Now, we have to fix you up before you fall asleep."
"No, I don't wanna move. Sleep." Emma snuggled closer, hearing Regina's heartbeat. That would be a great lullaby.
"No, no sleeping yet, my love. We can have a bath if you let me take care of you."
"Oh!" Emma chirped. She loved taking a bath with Regina and it was becoming part of their after-sex routine.
Emma rolled off of Regina and let Regina do her thing. She stripped Emma of everything but her little ears. She loved the ears. She wiped Emma down with disposable cleansing cloths. Removing the studded leather collar, Regina attached Emma's collar with her bell. Then, she vanished into the bathroom.
Emma curled into a ball, ready to fall asleep. Regina showed up right before sleep overtook Emma. Regina helped her off the bed and to the bathroom. The tub was full with bubbles almost spilling over the side. Emma sank into the water and sighed all the way down, the water perfectly hot. Regina followed. Emma put her head on Regina's shoulder, tingling as her bell chimed.
"I love you," Emma muttered, drifting off.
Regina kissed the top of her head. "I love you, too."
"This will be fun to do forever." Even if they did not keep up their pet thing, being together would never become stale or dull. Simple things like bathing together would always be an amazing thing.
"Yes, it will. I think I will also enjoy loving you forever."
"Promise?"
"I promise, my good girl." Regina kissed her forehead that time. There was no way Emma could stay awake then. She trusted Regina to make sure she did not drown.
-8-8-8-8-
Life was going too well. The thought gnawed at the back of Regina's mind, crawling down her nerves like an army of ants. Regina expected something to derail the sheer bliss that surrounded her. She had not expected it to be in the form of state investigators coming up to Two Witches. Social media would go into a frenzy about her yet again. It never ends.
The pair flashed badges at Tinker Bell to make her fetch Regina. Regina curled her lip as she stood before two women in sharp, navy blue suits. They seemed professional, except one had gaudy eyebrow makeup with hair split black on one side and completely white on the other, not in a natural salt-and-pepper manner. They showed her their badges as well. She fought the urge to roll her eyes.
"May I help you?" Regina asked.
"Is there a private place we might speak?" the agent with large, flowing golden hair, countered.
Regina showed them to the small office and closed the door behind them. How many cell phones are still recording, hoping we'll walk out again soon? Their poor little cafe would not be able to escape this carnival fate thrust upon it.
"How can I help you, ladies?" Regina asked the two women as they both straightened their suits, calling attention to their attire as if it was meant to do something to her. The outfits were tailored to perfection, fitting them like they were poured into the cloth, but far from intimidating. After all, Regina was a pro at dressing to instill fear.
"Are you Regina Mills, former mayor of the township of Storybrooke?"
"I am. And you are?" Regina countered.
"I'm Agent Ursula Triton and this is my partner Agent Cruella de Vil. We have some questions for you."
Regina did not mind this. "In regards to what?" She motioned to the two chairs by the desk. "Feel free to have a seat. Do you want anything to eat?"
Regina remained calm, even though she had no idea what this was about. She had done many shady things as mayor, but she had done them well. There was no reason for agents to be in front of her, yet here they were. This is what happens when you're out of the power loop. She barely had time to enjoy it.
The agents sat down. "We only have questions," Ursula said.
Regina nodded and sat down behind the desk. "I'll answer as best I can."
And so the questioning began and did not relent for almost an hour. Regina kept her cool and answered what she deemed noteworthy, but made note of everything they asked. At one point, she asked if she should contact her attorney, even though it did not appear so. She wanted their reaction to that question, though.
"Only if you have something to hide," Agent de Vil answered with a smirk.
Regina let loose a light scoff. "Like my constitutional rights?"
"You're not under arrest. Hell, not even under investigation. We're only trying to get to the bottom of things," Agent Triton, the diplomat of the pair, replied.
The only reason Regina entertained them was for information, needing an idea of why they were probing. It was not her. It was Rumple. Better still, it was something she did not have a hand in. She was aware of it, somewhat, but not to any worthwhile extent. Still, best to stay up to date. Hopefully, this isn't what he was doing with Robin or Marian is going to ruin him.
After an hour, though, Regina had her fill. "Ladies, I'm sorry, but I do have work to do."
Agent Triton nodded. "Of course. We'll be in touch if we have any more questions."
"That's fine," Regina replied.
"Of course it is," Agent de Vil said for no reason other than trying to come like she was hardcore.
Regina ignored the comment and showed the agents out of the office door. She watched them leave the cafe rather than walk them out, implying they were not welcomed back. This was bad if they were investigating Rumple and planning to come back. She did not need any attention from any authorities poking about for Rumple.
"What happened?" Maleficent asked as soon as Regina was back in the kitchen.
"The state is investigating some of Rumple's less-than-legal real estate dealings," Regina replied.
"And can any of it be linked to you?"
"Of course not, but I have to wonder how much they have on him and if he'll offer up sacrifices to save himself." Rumple was one of the few people who could offer up where her bodies were buried, so to speak. And she doubted mutually assured destruction would stop him should he anticipate the wolves closing in.
Maleficent pursed her lips. "He couldn't possibly do that to you. You can connect him to whatever he tries to give you up for."
"True, but now I want to find out what they might have on him." If they dug into Rumple deep enough, they might hit her depending on the course they were on. She needed to be ready.
"I want to find out, too." A crooked grin curled onto Maleficent's face.
Well, now they had homework. Anything that might keep them ahead of Rumple was worthwhile. And, the information had to be good because Rumple waited for Regina when she left Two Witches that night. He stepped out of the shadows as she went to her car. Maleficent was by her side before he opened his mouth.
"Look who the state authorities dragged in," Maleficent said with an amused smirk.
Rumple rested his hands on his cane and glared at them in the cold night air. "I don't know what you two are playing at, but you should know better than to cross me."
Regina snorted, breath visible. "You think we called the authorities on you?" The only thing that would make him jump to that conclusion was he had plans to take them down and he believed they beat him to the punch.
"You have to know that's not our style," Maleficent pointed out, staring him down.
"Yes, we're not that stupid," Regina replied.
"Your style? You think you're untouchable, so why wouldn't you do something so diabolical?" Rumple countered.
Regina scoffed. "Because, yes, I would then have state investigators come to my business with all my customers in view during a rather busy time knowing how much they love to film things. That makes so much sense." They were trying to press me with this little display and only made my life more annoying. Why press her, though?
It was possible the state thought Rumple had connections to Regina's stint as mayor. They would not be wrong in that, but their questions did not imply any of their connections. Did they know she and Rumple had done business and merely assumed visiting her would shake him up? If so, they were not wrong, but they poked a hornet's nest there.
"You do think you're above the law."
"No, that would be you. I have to assume they have something for you to be so paranoid you came to and confront me in front of my business." This was bad for Rumple. It might be bad for her as well then.
Rumple stared at her with his cold reptilian eyes, trying to determine if she was playing him. "You'll rue the day you crossed me. Both of you." He hissed and turned.
Regina rolled her eyes, but eyed him as he left, needing to make sure he was gone. Maleficent remained by her side, fingers against her elbow. Regina glanced at Maleficent.
"Now, we have trouble," Regina said. She had not expected him to pop up so soon. The investigation must be quite significant.
"We'll simply kick his ass again," Maleficent replied.
"Do you trust your car?" Regina stared at her own vehicle. Rumple was old-school enough to set up a car bomb.
"I want to say more than your car, but he's not fond of me because of my influence on you. I'm sure he thinks if he gets me out of the way, you'll fall back in line with him," Maleficent pointed out.
"This is such a headache." Worse still, it was a very possible thing that Rumple would try to kill them over this investigation if it was concerning. "Should I call Emma?"
"Sounds fine. We'll also have one of their deputy friends to check on the cars in the morning," Maleficent replied.
Regina agreed and called Emma. Emma was there within ten minutes. They wasted no time climbing into the warm car, despite the fact Emma's car might shatter in the weather.
"What's up? Both of your cars not starting?" Emma asked as she pulled away from the curb.
"If only," Regina replied from the passenger seat. "How confident are you in your mechanical skills with automobiles?"
Emma arched an eyebrow as she glanced at Regina. "What do you need?"
"Would you be able to identify if a car has been rigged to explode?"
Emma's eyes went wide. "What the fuck, guys?" She glanced at the rearview mirror to look at Maleficent in the backseat.
"Rumple," Regina and Maleficent answered at the same time, both nonplussed despite the danger. Emma had to have spent enough time in Storybrooke to know he was bad news at this point.
"Fuck," Emma sighed, shaking her head. "I'll check out your cars in the morning. I'm not an expert, but I've got a pretty good eye when something is off."
That was enough for Regina and Maleficent. They dropped Maleficent off at her condo and then went home. Regina sighed as she took her shoes off. She needed wine, lots of it.
"So, what's that all about?" Emma asked.
"Rumple showed up, accusing us of calling state investigators on him only hours after state investigators questioned me about his bullshit. He'll want revenge for this crime against him," Regina replied as she made her way to the kitchen.
Emma scowled as she stood just outside the kitchen. "I'll go arrest his ass right now if there's anything on your damn car."
Regina smiled. "Thank you, my love. I appreciate it, but I would prefer you, one, not end up fired, and two, keep out of his path. Rumple is dangerous and unpredictable at the best of times." She would utterly destroy Rumple should he touch her precious Duckling.
Emma nodded. "Let's get some food and snuggle."
Regina poured herself a healthy amount of wine. "Okay, but then I have to send some emails." She had to put her ducks in a row for when Rumple snapped.
-8-8-8-8-
Emma liked her job, and would not do anything to jeopardize her job, unless, of course, it meant helping Regina. Besides, the state investigators were kind of asking for it. They set up shop right in the sheriff's station. None of the deputies were happy about that, especially as the agents acted so self-important, like they were doing something the Sheriff's department was unable to do.
Emma clocked them from her desk as the two agents marched into Sheriff Humbert's office. They were in there for over an hour and then he showed them to an empty office space. He did not look happy. Emma did not like it. Despite Graham's feelings toward Regina, he had been an awesome boss so far and she did not want him upset.
"Hey, Sheriff, what's going on?" Emma asked as Humbert made his way past her desk. She pointed to the office the state investigators stood in with their measly boxes.
Sheriff Humbert snorted. "Just stay out of their way." He gazed at the rookies, all clustered together so he could keep a watchful eye on them, with an almost harsh sternness. He held up an authoritative finger. "All of you stay out of their way. Don't derail your career, thinking something bigger is in there or letting them goad you, as they might do."
"So, it's big, you say?" Will asked with a wink.
Sheriff Humbert scowled. "I'm serious. You all have bright futures and Storybrooke needs deputies like you. Don't blow it."
"He's gonna make Mulan babysit us," Dorothy said.
"Of course, I am. She's the only one who can keep you lot out of trouble," Sheriff Humbert replied.
"Emma's concussion says otherwise," David pointed out with a grin. Emma stuck her tongue out at him.
Sheriff Humbert scoffed. "Her one concussion to the dozen of injuries between the rest of you. Your training officers all think you'll be dead by the end of the year."
"A bit harsh, eh?" Will chewed his gum with a grin.
"Didn't Lancelot tell you to your face your shenanigans gonna get you killed?" David asked.
Will shrugged. "He meant it as a joke, mate." He did not.
Dorothy curled her lip. "Bloody knuckles from punching a dude attacking me doesn't count as an injury."
"No, the busted lip he gave you counts as the injury," Sheriff Humbert pointed out.
"It was barely a busted lip." Dorothy looked at the other rookies to back her up. They stayed out of that one. They learned the brute strength of Deputy Gale that day. She flattened a dude twice her size with one punch after he managed to land a hit on her.
Sheriff Humbert gave them all a stern glare. "Stay out of their way. In fact, do your best not to interact with them at all." He marched off after that.
"Well, now I'm curious," Will said with a laugh.
"You and me both," Emma replied.
"No, he already told us not to," David said.
Will tossed a paper ball at David, hitting him in the shoulder. "You're such a goody two shoes."
"Hey, Dorothy, what about you?" Emma asked. If they were all nosy, it would be that much easier to find out what the state agents had on Regina and Rumple.
Before Dorothy could weigh in, Mulan stepped over, carrying tons of paperwork they needed to correct. They all groaned. This was the worst part of the job. It was also meant to keep them busy and occupied, so they would stay away from the state agents. Not subtle at all.
"Do it right and I'll treat you all to Two Witches," Mulan said.
"And we can have as much as we want?" Dorothy asked. Out of all of them, she ate the most, which was wild considering they all ate like starving rats. She also exercised the most and was able to beat them at tons of athletics.
Mulan rolled her eyes. "Yes, but try not to make it too much. Tink is already going to cause a scene when I try to pay."
"Oh, the burden of getting free food," Will groaned and they all chuckled, except Mulan.
Mulan loomed over them until they started their paperwork. She had put post-its all through the paperwork to point out their mistakes. They all took a moment to glare at her.
"You're a hard-ass sometimes, you know?" Emma curled her lip at Mulan.
Mulan folded her arms across her chest. "I'm always a hard-ass."
Emma chuckled. "And we love you for it." She blew Mulan a kiss.
Will snickered. "Now, why is it that if I do that it's suddenly sexual harassment?"
"Because you do it to Kay and he doesn't have a sense of humor," Dorothy pointed out.
"I have to remember to slap his butt after a pickup game or something now that you mention it," Will said.
Emma palmed her face. "We're going to have to scrape you off the court if you do that. Dude is a bear."
"And a phobe, so it has to be done." Will shrugged.
"Focus if you lot want free food," Mulan reminded them.
That was enough to return them back to their paperwork. Emma was on it until the state agents came out of the office space they were granted. They marched out, clearly on a mission. Where the hell are they going?
Will regarded them as they left with as much interest as Emma. They glanced at each other and then at the empty office. It was tempting.
"Stop it," Mulan said in a stern voice.
"How did you even know?" Emma asked.
Mulan snorted, as if it was obvious. Will made a face, but they continued on with the paperwork until lunch. They took the short walk to Two Witches. Emma went to poke her head in the back while Mulan argued with Tink to shut up and take her money. It was a fight Mulan never won, even if she tried to pay for other people. Maleficent looked up from a pot when the door opened.
"Yes, Duckling?" Maleficent asked.
Emma gave a weak nod. "Hey. Where's Regina?"
"With her new friends."
Emma was not sure what that meant. She would ask Regina about it later. She returned to her coworkers and soon learned what Maleficent meant. Out of the small office they used for crunching numbers and such, Regina emerged with Agents Triton and de Vil. None of them looked happy. What the hell is going on?
Regina's eyes did not leave the agents until they were out the door. Then, she glanced over at Emma. Emma arched an eyebrow and nodded near the door. Regina shook her head and went back to the kitchen.
"What's that about?" Dorothy wondered aloud, eyes on the door.
Emma shrugged. "No idea."
"It's not your business," Mulan said, pointing to all of them.
"You sure? I mean, this could be your free food card," Will said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Mulan rolled her eyes. "I'm sure it's only questions from when she was mayor. Nothing of real importance or trouble. You all know we might question any number of people during an investigation. It doesn't mean that person did something or that person's being investigated."
Emma wanted Mulan to be right, but there had to be something going on. This was the second time, maybe even more times these agents had come to Regina. Regina might not be telling her the whole story. They already riled Rumple up to the point where he was ready to do something to Regina.
Now, it was like they were after Regina or just trying to make it seem like she was the one giving them information on Rumple. It was not cool that they kept coming to Two Witches to talk to her either. This was not right, but it would have to keep until she got home.
Emma managed to work the rest of her shift without giving in to the temptation of sneaking into the agents' office. Will was a bad influence, though, as he kept looking too and pointing at the door at every opportunity where they could have poked their heads in. They were saved from each other when they had to go out.
Emma had to resist the urge to be in Regina's face the second she came through the door. Instead, she had a bath ready for Regina with wine and candy — chocolate-covered raisins were a favorite for Regina. She let Regina have the bath by herself. It took over a half-hour for Regina to join her on the couch. Regina's head fell to her shoulder as soon as she sat down.
"Everything okay?" Emma asked.
"They're now investigating me, even though they're acting like they're not," Regina answered.
"You sure?"
"They're digging, which is annoying, but I wanted to know. This is why I entertained their questioning in the first place."
Emma frowned. "You think Rumple turned them on you?"
"No, as what I think they're investigating me for Rumple was part of. I thought they might end up investigating me by someone mentioning me in this real estate thing with Rumple, but no. It's a completely unrelated thing."
Emma pursed her lips. "Can they get you for it?"
Regina scoffed. "I'm not sloppy. Nor is Rumple, so I doubt they'll get him for any of these things. I'm more curious about who would dare turn the state on me and Rumple. I'm also curious what Rumple is going to do since he seemed on edge enough to confront me and Maleficent."
"Do you still think he might go after you?" While there had not been car bombs on either Regina's or Maleficent's cars, it was worrisome how they mentioned it as an actual concern.
"He might if he still thinks this has happened because of me. But, all this proves is no matter what, I'll always be a target for him," Regina replied with a scowl.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Regina kissed her cheek. "Keep being yourself. Being with you keeps me calm and centered. Thank you, Duckling."
Emma hugged Regina tight. "Well, I love you." She loved Regina enough to break into that damn room and find out what was going on. Yes, Regina was confident they would never pin anything on her, but Emma wanted her to be certain. These people would not take Regina from her. She did not care if bodies were involved.
-8-8-8-8-
Next time: temptation wins and Regina solves her case.
