Chapter 22

Emma woke up the next morning with a huge headache. She tried to open her eyes but quickly shut them as the sunlight hit her face coming from the window. She raised her hand to block the light and slowly opened her eyes again. Once she adjusted to the brightness in the room, she looked around to notice that she was in her old room, Regina's room now, since she commandeered it.

She looked to her side to see if the woman was lying next to her. 'Whew…okay good," Emma thought to herself as she slowly sat up, letting the bed cover fall off of her torso. She quickly grabbed the cover and covered herself again, feeling the blood rush to her face.

"Why the hell am I naked?!" Emma screeched out loud in embarrassment.

"Well….you kept saying you were hot as you took every piece of clothing off of your body." Regina spoke as she got up from the sofa across from the bed, rubbing her sore neck and shoulders.

Emma groaned in distress at noticing the woman standing in front of her now and face-palmed herself in humiliation. "Great…" she whispered to herself.

"No need to worry, princess. Nothing transpired between us," Regina assured her as she tried her best to keep herself in check. She could feel her face getting hotter by the second. She managed to have a peek at Emma's lean, muscular arms and torso without meaning to. Before Emma could say anything, Regina got busy looking for clothes and getting ready for the day.

"I am sorry for being such a bother to you last night. You didn't have to sleep on the sofa." Emma spoke again, feeling bad that Regina decided to sleep on the sofa instead of the bed.

Regina didn't say anything and continued doing what she was doing. Emma, sighing in defeat, gathered her clothes off the floor and started to get dressed. She gave few glances here and there towards Regina to see her reaction to try to read the damn woman for once but nothing. Regina moved around the space like Emma didn't exist, and that infuriated Emma to the core. She let out a frustrated growl and advanced towards where the other woman was.

Regina, sensing someone was behind her she looked up at the mirror to notice Emma standing behind her. She quickly got up from the dresser chair and turned around to face the blonde woman but almost lost her footing as she leaned back into the dresser and stabled herself on the dresser table behind her with her hands. Emma quickly brought her hands up as well to take hold of Regina and keep her steady by her shoulders.

They both stared at each other for a few minutes before Emma cleared her throat and slowly let go of the woman in front of her and backed away a few paces.

Regina could feel the anger rising in her again. She didn't know how many times she had to tell this woman not to put her hands on her. She didn't want Emma touching her at all.

"Do I need to tell you in another language not to put your hands on me?" Regina spoke as she pushed herself off the table and stood right in front of Emma, now barely leaving any space between them, their faces a few inches away.

Emma was the one furious now, how dare this woman speak to her this way and ask her not to do something, then come be in her face like this. She was about to say something back but found herself lost in those brown orbs again and before she knew what she was thinking. Her body moved own its own accord and closed the space between their lips and engulfed Regina in an embrace.

Regina, shocked at the turn of events, struggled in the embrace but soon found herself giving in again to the other woman's lips. Before they both knew what was going through their minds, they found each other on the bed, Emma again on top, clothes coming off one at a time, forgotten on the floor. Everything was happening so fast, neither woman had any time to think.

Emma undressed Regina out of her night gown and kissed every part of Regina's body as it came into view, mesmerized by the beauty in front of her. She quickly took off her shirt as Regina lay beneath her, breathless. Both women stared at each other again with lust in their eyes. Regina reached with her hand as she traced her fingers on Emma's abdomen and felt the hard muscles twitch under her touch. She couldn't help but smirk at Emma.

Emma quickly took hold of Regina's wrist and pinned it above her head. Emma didn't even give Regina a chance to say anything before taking hold of her lips again. They both got lost in the kiss again, hands touching and tracing every inch of each other's bodies. Emma didn't hesitate this time and moved her hand between them, and before Regina could stop her again, she felt Emma enter her with a quick thrust of her fingers. Regina could only gasp as Emma kissed down on her jaw and neck as she thrusted her fingers at a pace Regina started to enjoy.

Emma couldn't stop herself; she couldn't get over the look she was witnessing in front of her. Regina moaning, her eyes closed shut, biting at her bottom lip to keep the sounds in. Emma kissed a spot on Regina's neck and nipped at it, which made Regina whimper. She quickly latched her lips on that spot, biting down before sucking on it while fastening the pace of her fingers going in and out of Regina. That made Regina scream, and Emma couldn't help but smirk at the reaction.

Emma knew Regina was close, she could sense the walls tightening around her fingers.

"Let go for me…" Emma whispered in Regina's direction. Regina grabbed Emma by the face and kissed her. "Harder…." That was the only word said before Emma started to thrust harder, and Regina hugged Emma tightly, raking her nails down her back as she screamed in pleasure at the release.

Both women stayed still for a bit; only their uneven breathing could be heard in the room. Emma looked at the other woman beneath her and smiled, mesmerized by her beauty again.

"You are so gorgeous, Regina," Emma said again as she leaned down to leave a kiss on Regina's lips. Regina couldn't help but whimper at the soft touch. Emma cupped Regina's cheek and connected their foreheads, basking in the moment. Their heartbeats beat at the same rhythm.

The moment was cut short by an abrupt knock on the door. It startled Regina so badly that she got up so quickly, she ended up head-butting Emma. Emma shocked at the impact winched in pain as she landed on her butt on the floor.

"Is everything alright in there?" Came the voice from outside.

"Emma!"

"Regina!

Cora and Snow's voices came through the door at the loud thud they probably heard from inside the room when Emma landed.

"Shit!…." Emma whispered and quickly started to gather her clothes, as well as trying to stop her nose from bleeding. Regina scrambled for her clothes at the same time.

"Regina, open the door right now!" Came the stern voice of Cora from across the door as Cora knocked a few more times.

Regina did her best to make herself presentable and didn't even check with Emma before she blew the door open.

Cora immediately halted in her action to knock again and was utterly shocked at Regina's disheveled appearance.

"Regina….what is the meaning of this?" Before Cora got her answer, she looked behind Regina to find Emma partially clothed on the floor with a bloody nose.

"Oh dear!" Before Cora got a chance to make a move, Snow burst past both Cora and Regina to get to Emma.

"Oh…Emma, honey, what happened?" Snow asked as she crouched down to be at eye level with Emma. Emma just stared at Regina real quick before looking at he mother.

"Just a nose bleed, mother. Nothing too serious. I will be fine." Emma managed to get out as she tried to get up from the floor. Snow took hold of one of Emma's arms to keep her steady.

Snow and Cora both looked at each other and the two other women in the room. That's when it clicked in their minds.

"OH!" Snow exclaimed out loud as she took in the appearance of her daughter, who was barely dressed, and standing in front of Snow in her undergarments. Snow couldn't help but blush and turned around to exit the room.

"Let's go, Queen Cora." Snow spoke hurriedly as she exited the room. Regina gave her mother a worried look before looking away in embarrassment.

Cora cleared her throat and exited the room as well. "The medic will be sent up here shortly. I suppose you both make yourself presentable," Cora spoke without turning to look at them.

Regina watched in disbelief as Snow and her mother walked away. She closed the door once they were out of sight.

"Damn it all!" Emma spoke up from behind her in the room. Regina, ignoring Emma, sat herself down on the bed.

"What have I done?" Regina spoke so low that Emma wasn't sure if she heard her right. Regina cupped her face in her palms in disbelief at the whole event.

Emma too took a seat right next to Regina on the bed. She placed her hand on Regina's shoulder and squeezed.

"It was an accident, I am sure they know that. Don't worry about it. I will be fine." Emma said as she threw the bloody cloth on the floor. Regina didn't say anything; she just got up and went to the window of their room to open it to let fresh air in. She felt like she was suffocating.

She closed her eyes for a few seconds and soon after felt Emma's hand on her shoulder again.

"I ned you to leave….please" Regina spoke again, she didn't even spare a look towards Emma.

"I…..are you…." Emma looked at Regina in disbelief. She couldn't believe this. "You know what….fine!" and walked out of the room, leaving Regina to herself.

Regina let out a shaky breath as she felt the tears on her cheeks again.
