Dark Horse

Chapter 2

It had been a few days since she had seen the brunette properly. The threat of Zelena still hung precariously over them all. They had both admitted their nervousness via text about their fear of Zelena discovering their secret. So they had resorted to only communicating that way.

Emma had debated with herself for a while about whether to ask if Regina had ended her relationship with Robin. After a slighter longer deliberation she couldn't hold it in any longer and asked if she had talked to Robin.

She was met with the silence of her phone for up to ten nerve wracking minutes. She was so anxious as she waited for Regina's response that when it was finally arrived with a negative answer, her heart crumbled. Images of the tall dark haired man as he kissed and caressed Regina sent her stomach plummeting and she actually thought she might vomit.

Snow and David had questioned her several times as she had been noticeably absent during most of their conversations. She had shrugged it off simply as just worrying about the situation with Zelena.

Regina had waited nearly two hours and when she still had not received a reply, she may or may not have been literally counting the clock the entire time, she earnestly sent another text to the blonde asking her if she was okay.

Emma had hesitated to answer at first but finally she sent an honest response.

I need you and I will wait but the thought still hurts.

Regina's reply was instant.

He is coming round in a few hours, I plan to tell him then.

Emma exhaled and some of the anguish she had been feeling dissipated.

The next few hours felt like an eternity as they passed. She kept checking her phone in case she had missed a message while she paced the downstairs living room floor at Granny's B&B until Henry came down asking why she hadn't gone to bed yet.

She had told him she was working but he could see right through her words. She knew it at the look he had given her but he simply let it go and returned to their room.

Ruby returned around ten. She greeted Emma on her way in and inquired after her. She had again shrugged it off and the brunette took it as cue bid her goodnight and left her alone.

When it finally reached ten thirty p.m and she had still not heard a thing from Regina, she resolved she was going to go to the other woman's house. She hated how desperate she appeared but she couldn't physically stay away any longer.

She returned to her room where she found Henry who was still awake playing on his cell phone. She told him she had to follow up on something and he simply nodded mutely at her.

She warned him not to go anywhere, he promised he wouldn't and questioned what there was to do in the quiet little town of Storybrooke on a Saturday night at past ten p.m.

Emma had shrugged and raised an eyebrow until he agreed.

She left and went swiftly next door to where she knew Hook was. She casually informed him she was leaving for a bit and in a roundabout way also asked him to watch Henry. Before he had a chance to question where she was going she was already gone.

She cursed the time it took to get from Granny's to Mifflin Street. It felt like an hour rather than the twenty minutes drive it was in actuality. When she finally pulled into Regina's driveway she sighed in almost relief.

All the downstairs lights were off except for the room she knew to be Regina's study.

She closed her car door quietly and crept closer. Her heart felt like it was going to break through her rib cage. Her palms grew sweaty all of a sudden and she fought off the images that invaded her mind of different scenarios between Robin and Regina.

She practically had to climb into the bushes outside the study window so she could partially see through one of the blinds in the window. When she finally saw the two dark figures they were sat barely a breath apart on the two seater lounge in front of the lit fire.

Emma's breath caught in her throat as she watched them. Robin leaned in and she watched as his mouth claimed full, carmine coloured lips and the blonde felt her world crumble. She almost looked away before she caught a dark hand reaching up and push him back gently.

They hovered like that for more than a moment until Robin lowered his head as words were exchanged. He nodded his head several times and then he said something back. Emma could not hear any of the exchange from outside but she watched as he squeezed her hand, pressed a gentle but chaste kiss to her cheek, then stood instantly and without turning back, he left.

Emma practically threw herself out of the bushes and back towards her car. She had just managed to make it to the safety of her yellow bug as the front door clicked open and closed again.

There was a silent exchange between them as Robin stared back at Emma. He acknowledged her with a brief nod before he took off down the street and away from the mansion without a single word.

Emma hesitated before she paced up to the front door and tapped her knuckles on the wooden door several times. She waited for the distinguishing sound of heels on marble floor and sucked in a breath as the door opened and she was met with Regina.

Suddenly she felt nervous and her breath hitched. She felt her face flush as she whispered a hello.

Regina tilted her dark head with a sad smile that was instantly replaced with a dazzling pearly grin at seeing the blonde.

She reached out, grabbing Emma by the lapels and pulled her over the threshold into her home.

Soft, full lips captured petite pink and Emma found herself pressed against the inside of the closed front door.

The blonde moaned the other woman's name and tangled her pale fingers through dark hair.

Their kisses became so heated they had to stop for air though hands continued to roam until Emma managed to change their positions. That was when Regina pulled away yet still kept her fingers entwined with hers but pulled the blonde towards the study.

Emma stopped instantly, her sneakers squeaking on the floor and she shook her head. Images of the brunette being kissed by the very person who had just left their presence flashed before her eyes.

The brunette frowned as she watched the blonde's face redden with guilt.

"You were watching?" She questioned quietly.

"Not like that..." Emma started but the brunette interrupted.

"I would think by now that you would trust me at least a little bit. Especially when I told you I would do it." Regina's words were angry but Emma could hear the hurt that laced them. "You expect me to be happy breaking someone's heart? What about if it was the other way around, Emma? What if I was breaking up with you? Would you want me to rush and tell you something like that without taking your feelings into account?"

"That's not what I meant and I do trust you, Regina. I just... I ended up driving myself crazy with the not knowing... it's my insecurities... I do trust you..." She attempted to untangle her fingers from the brunette's but found them clasped firmly instead.

"It's not something I wanted to do in a mere five minutes or over the phone. I'm sorry I didn't let you know but as you can see, it took longer than I expected."

Chocolate orbs softened as she inched closer to the blonde. Regina disentangled their hands only to clasp hers behind the other woman's neck and she took the opportunity to stroke blonde strands that elicited a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry..." The blonde apologized lowly and then kissed her.

"It's fine," Regina murmured against parted pink lips. "Can you stay for a while or do you need to get back?"

"I can stay for a little while, Hook knows to keep an ear out..." She waited to be yelled at but when she heard a small chuckle come from the older woman instead she frowned. "What?"

"Nothing— I'm the last person to say anything really. I have done a lot worse..." She noted quietly. When all she received was a blank look she continued, "It might appear as if you were leading him on and I know you would not be as cruel as that. Would you?"

"No," Emma rescinded. "You're right. This will be the last time."

Green eyes softened and almost instinctively she leaned into the brunette. Full lips captured petite pink and they melded into one being. Fingers tangled in hair and they finally parted mere inches from one another so they could breathe.

"I need you..." the blonde whispered which earned her a fevered kiss in response. "Should—" Emma started only to be cut off by full lips. Kiss swollen lips parted as she asked out of breath, "We should probably cool off a bit, right?"

"I don't want to wait. We don't know what could happen. We could be dead tomorrow and I don't want to lose this moment with you. If anything was to happen because of Zelena—" Regina intoned.

The brunette continued to steal more kisses before she ceased and asked, "Unless you want to wait?"

"No, no... I'm good," Emma replied hastily with a small laugh. She kissed her back so hungrily that Regina had to steady them on the banister.

"Come," Regina requested after a moment. She took pale fingers and entwined their hands together and lead them up to her bedroom.

The moment they crossed the threshold and the door closed behind them they were touching again. Somewhere in their trip to the brunette's room, Emma's coat had been removed and her shirt undone. Their kisses continued to be heated and Emma felt as though she was literally going to burst into flames from desire.

The blonde tilted the brunette's chin up and trailed kisses up the other woman's neck to capture full lips. She gently pulled the silk grey blouse the other woman was wearing down her arms and paused briefly to admire full breasts that were encased in black silk and lace. She ran her tongue up a full cleavage line causing the brunette to shiver and moan softly.

Regina purred as she removed the blonde's outer shirt and then proceeded to lift the tank top from beneath. She watched as the other woman shook her mane of blonde from the garment and then resumed her position between Regina's full breasts.

Emma skillfully unhooked her bra and sucked dark nipples between small pink lips and flicked pert flesh with her tongue.

Her back arched automatically and Regina was unsure when they had reached her bed or when the rest of their clothes were removed but suddenly there was skin to skin contact. This caused a moan to escape from the both of them and they crested higher from the touch.

Tongues dueled in the dark, their fingers caressed one another in a form of worship and the blonde hurriedly removed Regina's underwear.

She could feel the heat emanating from between the brunette's legs and more so as she touched damp black lace. She cupped the brunette's sex grinding the flat of her hand into it briefly, Regina moaned and pushed back.

Emma pulled her bottom lip between her teeth as she herself moaned in response. Then she almost literally ripped the fragile fabric right off the other woman. She released a guttural growl and they both felt the slickness that coated Regina's thigh from the blonde's response.

Emma's fingers were suddenly inside her, pale fingers soaked in her arousal and the blonde's tongue drew circular patterns round her swollen nub.

Regina reached and arched into her, pulling Emma away briefly so she could press her lips to the blonde's neck and sucked at her pulse point.

"Emma..." She husked and claimed the blonde's mouth again.

Emma replaced her fingers with a thumb and pressed two fingers inside her. Regina gasped at the entry then moaned. She rolled her hips pulling pale appendages deeper inside her.

They kissed passionately until the shudder of Regina's orgasm pulsed through her. It was quick and raw, her sex contracted around the blonde's fingers and Emma smiled into the kiss.

She slowly lowered the brunette down to the sheets below and removed her fingers. The brunette spasmed once more.

Emma caught Regina off guard when she lifted her own hand and sucked her fingers clean with a moan.

"You taste intoxicating," Emma stated and her pale face flushed with excitement as Regina chuckled.

Emma shifted until she was pressed against the brunette's olive toned skin and moaned softly when their breasts touched. She straddled a dark thigh, her clit making pleasant contact with the skin beneath. Her response was instant as she rolled her hips, coating Regina's thigh with her wetness and chocolate orbs closed as another wave of desire rocketed through her at the sight.

She pulled Emma closer and claimed her lips again.

Tanned fingers moved up a pale back, her fingertips caressing tenderly down the blonde's spine before she cupped a pert ass cheek and squeezed. This had a pleasant effect on the other woman's mound that was pressed against Regina's thigh. She pushed against the blonde and moved her other hand down to purchase a hip and aid Emma in her movements.

"Oh," Emma whispered.

She looked down into chocolate orbs and instantly, if even possible became more aroused at the beauty beneath her. Emerald eyes hooded and then flitted closed.

Regina reached up with one of her hands and cupped a pale pink nipple between her fingers. The blonde bucked slightly against her thigh with a moan and suddenly she was flipped over onto her back.

Regina chuckled at the shock that reflected back at her from green eyes from her actions and then molded firm breasts between her palms. She licked her own lips and then pulled pink nipples between plump lips.

Emma arched into her, she was about to pull Regina back down on top of her but olive fingers pushed against her. Before she could utter any protest the brunette's fingers trailed along her firm stomach and caught the thin cotton material between her fingers. She pulled the blonde's underwear down at an agonizingly slow pace down toned thighs. The action itself forced Emma into hastening the progress by kicking them off the end of her feet.

The brunette smiled seductively, fingertips ran teasingly back up from the blonde's ankles, up her calves, her thighs and across her stomach. Next along her breasts where she threaded her fingers into blonde tendrils and back down again.

The brunette's fingers brushed over her sex but did not touch the place she needed her to most. She arched up hopefully but Regina plucked olive fingers away and tutted at her.

"Uh uh," she waggled her index finger at the blonde and smiled teasingly. "I'm going to take this as slow..." she bent down and replaced her fingers with her lips on the blonde's sternum. "As I want..." she proceeded to kiss a trail from one breast to the other. Her fingers moved down the sensitive skin at the blonde's sides.

"Taking time to worship..." she lowered herself further. White teeth nipped at pale skin beneath the blonde's belly button but before she moved back up, she shoved her tongue hard into the crevice and Emma squirmed satisfyingly at the action. "To explore..." she blew against the wet patch she had just created and the blonde writhed.

Regina inched lower and blew hot breath onto sensitive skin dipping a tongue experimentally to taste swollen flesh. She was rewarded with a loud groan in response and Emma's hips bucked.

"Regina!" Emma begged.

She reached down to wrap long pale fingers into dark hair, "Please... I can't take it much longer."

"Patience, dear," Regina purred and removed the blonde's fingers from her hair.

She moved to lap up the thickly laden arousal that coated the blonde's sex and inner thighs.

Emma moaned appreciatively and bucked wantonly once more into the brunette. She pulled kiss swollen lips between teeth as she crested higher. She had never been this aroused in her entire life from not being touched.

Her whole body was on fire, Regina blew once more on her center and she swore she almost came right there.

"Regina, please..." she begged and tangled her fingers into the bed sheets.

Finally Regina gave into her pleas and allowed her tongue to lavish Emma and it wasn't long until the blonde had the most intense orgasm of her entire life.

Her body shuddered with the after effects and she moaned softly as she tasted herself on Regina's mouth. Their bodies pressed together, their legs entwined causing their sexes to bump pleasantly against the skin of each other thighs.

Emma moaned as a minute ripple of pleasure rolled through.

"Wow," she breathed.

"Wow, indeed," Regina replied and claimed her mouth. "You are so beautiful," she whispered reverently as she gazed upon Emma's post sex glow.

She smiled softly, her fingertips tracing Emma's jaw almost at their own accord and then she kissed her gently. "Thank you."

"For what?" Emma asked as she kissed the tip of Regina's chin.

"For being you," the brunette murmured.

Nothing else needed saying. The blonde knew everything she meant by those three little words. They conveyed everything. Her green eyes shone as she placed a chaste kiss upon plump lips.

"I could say the same thing to you, Regina," she breathed, "I love you."

"I love you too," Regina replied reverently.

She tilted her head and an amused smiled pulled at the edges of her lips, "I'm guessing and please tell me if I'm wrong..."

"That was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my entire life and far greater than I could ever imagine. Nothing compares to the real thing." Emma interrupted and grinned back up at the other woman, "Though if you want to try again I can totally lie and say..."

"Shut up," Regina growled pushing her back into the bed and kissing her deeply.
