"If Ruby hadn't told us, I doubt we would have ever found out you even liked women. Which, by the way, we completely support you for." He gave me a small pat on the shoulder. I felt a little better. That was one of my main worries. That they wouldn't accept me. I still wanted to kill Ruby, but I guess I kinda owe her one now. I looked at both my parents, then to Regina and Graham. And my heart felt like it was going to explode. The only thing I could think to do was to open my arms as wide as they would go. I didn't need to say anything. Everyone understood. Group hug. They piled in and wrapped around me. I was so happy in that one moment. Happy to just be where I was and not worry about anything else.

"I love you guys. So much."

"Emma darling, you're Father and I are going to start heading home." Mom was pulling on her coat by the front door. I gave Dad a hug first and then Mom once she finished putting the coat on.

"Thanks for coming you guys. It really means a lot to me."

"It means a lot to us Emma. We are so proud of you." Dad came over and rested his hand on my shoulder. "We are so proud of you for taking over the company. We know it hasn't been easy for you the last year, but…I don't think anyone could have handled any of this any better." Hearing them say that was one of the best moments in my life. My parents were proud of me. And after everything I had been through, that was all I could have asked for. I couldn't help myself. I burst out into tears, and practically dived into their arms.

"Thanks you guys." I heard Mom whisper one last thing in my ear.

"And remember, we don't care what you do with your life and your choices." She pulled back and looked be dead in the eye. "All we care about is that you are happy." She looked over to Regina who was standing just behind me. Mom stuck her hand out to Regina, who stepped forward and took it. She took my hand and placed Regina's and mine together. "And I can see, without a doubt that Regina makes you happy." I looked over at Regina, and couldn't help but smile. I turned back to my parents and the smile never left my face.

"Thanks you guys."

"We'll see you later sweetheart. Enjoy your evening." The smirk that crawled onto my face was completely obvious, and I knew it was. But there was nothing I could do as the thoughts of this evening was crossing my mind. I moved closer to Regina as I waved my parents goodbye.

"I'm sure I will." Once they were out the door, I turned to Regina and whispered in her ear. "And I'm gonna make sure you do too." I could feel Regina shuddering at the comment. When she turned to face me, I couldn't tell if she looked like she was going to kill me or devour me. I know which one I preferred. Before she could do anything, I turned back to the main part of the room to find Ruby. "Hey Ruby, I'm gonna head home now." The smirk that crossed her face was almost wolfish.

"And are you taking Regina?" I couldn't help but sigh. I swear, Ruby was the worst person at being nosy.

"Mind your own business."

"Well considering Regina works with me, she technically is my business. So I am minding her." She couldn't help but smug, and I couldn't help but glare.

"You are such a smartass."

"I know. But you have to love me anyway." She smiled at me, and I really couldn't deny it.

"True. I don't really have much of a choice. Do I?"

"No. Now go. I'll make sure Graham and I get everything packed up and tidied away. Go enjoy your woman." She started pushing me towards to door.

"Thanks. And hey! Don't go neglecting your woman. You two have been dodging it for ages. It's about time you guys got to do something."

"Yeah, yeah. You just worry about your woman, and I'll worry about mine." And with that, I walked away. I found Regina waiting by the door. Her coat was on, and she was holding min in her hand. I donned my jacket, and we walked outside. We got back in my car and made way for home. The car ride back was comfortable. We didn't need to talk when we were in each other's presence. We were happy to just be together. We pulled up into the drive and parked. I was really nervous, but I knew that this was something we both wanted. And she had waited for me for so long now. I didn't want to make her wait any longer.

"Shall we?" She looked at me and that predator look was back in her eyes. And God did it make my insides turn.

"Do you really need to ask?" We were out the car and by the front door in a matter of seconds. And it was like the first time I brought her home all over again. My hands were shaking and I couldn't get the damn key in the lock. I forgot to put the porch light on so it was pitch black which didn't exactly help either. And neither did the hands that were snaking around my waist. "Need a little help there?" She did love to tease me didn't she? I took a dep breath trying to calm myself, and my hands. Once my hands stopped shaking, I turned and looked at Regina in the night light. And she looked stunning.

"No. I got it this time." I leant forward and captured her lips in a deep kiss. Just feeling her against me, was the best thing in the world. She literally made me feel warm. I slipped the key into the lock and opened the door without ever letting her lips go. I pushed the door open and turned fully in her arms. Pulling her into the house, she kicked the door closed behind her. We pushed out jackets off, and started pulling at anything we could find. Unfortunately for me, that wasn't a lot. Regina was wearing one of her signature skin tight dresses. Granted I wasn't complaining as it made her curves look gorgeous. But it meant I had nothing to grab at. So I wrapped one hand round her neck and the other made its way up into her hair. Her tongue came out and flicked across my lips and it was the best feeling I could ever imagine. And I knew if things were to continue this way, these feeling would only be getting better.

"Maybe we should be taking this upstairs." Her voice was so husky it sounded like a lion growling. And it was possibly one of the sexiest things I have ever heard. "I want you Emma." Okay. That was the sexiest thing I have ever heard.

"Then let me give you what you want." I bent down slightly and grabbed at Regina's thighs and pulled her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and grabbed her hands behind my neck.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX – NARRATIVE VIEW

Emma carried Regina up the stairs as gracefully as she could, and as they reached the room upstairs, Regina reached for the door handle and swung the door open from behind her. Never leaving Emma's grasp, and making sure her legs stayed firmly wrapped around her waist. As they made their way into Emma's room, Emma kicked the door closed behind her. The two never separated lips. Emma turned around and sat down on the bed, with Regina straddling her waist. Emma finally pulled back to look at Regina as closely as she could.

"You are absolutely beautiful Regina." There was a subtle blush coating Regina's cheeks at the compliment. It made Emma feel butterflies knowing she could cause such a reaction from just a few simple words. The smile on Regina's face was so shy and sweet, it was the cutest thing Emma could have laid eyes on.

"Thank you. You're not too bad yourself." Emma's mouth dropped so low it might as well have hit her chest. And with the biggest smile on her face, Regina leant forward and claimed Emma's lips, in a deep and passionate kiss. She never wanted to let Emma go. She wanted to stay in that moment for as long as she could. She felt Emma's hands run up her sides. The dress she had worn for the evening was a perfect choice. She could feel every touch and glide of Emma's fingers over her dress. Emma's hands made their way round to the back of Regina's dress. Right to the top to grab hold of the zipper. And suddenly, all the breath in Regina's lungs left her, and her body tensed at the touch. Emma pulled back for a second, but she didn't move her hands.

"Hey relax. It's just me." Emma was truly concerned about how Regina felt when this all happened. She knew this was important for Regina, and she didn't want to screw anything up.

"I know. And that's what is worrying me. No one has ever…I've never let anyone…"

"Regina I know you're a virgin. You don't have to worry about it. I want you to enjoy this. Just tell me what to do."

"It's not that. I've never been…naked…in front of anyone. I mean…I've kissed girls and done stuff but…I've never taken clothes off." Emma was quickly realising what was going through Regina's mind. She lowered her hands down to Regina's hips and looked right into her eyes.

"Regina, I need you to look at me. Right now." Emma had her hands on the side of Regina's face. She loosened her grip when Regina turned her eyes up to Emma. "You are gorgeous. Don't you ever doubt that." Emma watched as the blush crept up Regina's neck to her cheeks. "If it makes you feel any better, I've not always been happy with how my body looks. I have scars and bruises, and stuff on my body I wish I could erase." Regina looked at Emma with horror in her eyes.

"How could you…" Emma cut her off mid-sentence.

"You know how you just reacted to me? That is what I was thinking about you. You have no reason to be shy. Or self-conscious. You can trust me. I promise. Now can I trust you?" Emma looked Regina dead in the eyes. Regina didn't hesitate before leaning down and claiming Emma's lips for her own once more.

"You can always trust me." She said with absolute certainty. Emma smiled at the confidence now shinning in Regina. Emma leaned up kissed Regina with fierce passion. Emma had made herself wait long enough for this. She wouldn't make herself or Regina wait any longer.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Emma questioned. The evil smirk that crossed Regina's face was truly arousing to Emma. Regina started devouring Emma's lips. And Emma was powerless to stop her. Clothes were quickly being removed. Most of it happening in a blur. Before either of them knew it, Regina was sitting atop Emma, legs set on either side of Emma's hips. Emma was staring up to consume everything that was Regina. Emma didn't understand what Regina was so nervous over. She was perfect. There wasn't a single thing on Regina that Emma didn't love. And Regina felt the same for Emma.

"Emma, you are completely gorgeous." Regina brushed her hands down and over Emma's breasts. Emma arched up into the touch. Her breath catching at the back of her throat. "And you feel amazing. So soft." Emma couldn't help but moan. Regina took a firm grip of both her nipples, and pulled. Regina smiled down at Emma, writhing beneath her. Loosening her grip, Regina replaced her right hand with her mouth over Emma's nipple and swirled her tongue around the hardened bud. It was as sensational for Regina as it was for Emma. Regina had never done anything like this, but she was hoping that she could go with the flow and make Emma feel amazing. "Oh god Regina." Emma moaned. Running her hands through Regina's hands keeping it out of her face.

Regina had her right hand resting on Emma's ribcage. But she wanted to move things further. Slowly, trying not to make Emma too aware of what she was doing. Slowly, gently, Regina guided her hand down over Emma's stomach, loving the feeling of Emma's stomach clenching and tensing beneath her fingertips. Continuing her travel, she ran her hand over Emma's hip and felt Emma quiver. She figured any chance of surprise was now out the window. Emma must know what Regina was doing by this point. Without any further hesitation, Regina lowered her fingers between Emma's lips. Feeling the wetness pooled between her legs, Regina couldn't help but lean back from Emma's nipple and look her in the eyes.

"You're so wet." Regina gasped out. Emma had stopped breathing the second Regina touched her, but hearing Regina talk brought her back to reality. She looked down at Regina that had her shin resting between her breasts. Emma couldn't get enough of this girl.

"You have no idea what you do to me." Regina moved herself so her face was hovering over Emma's.

"And you have no idea what I am capable of." Regina didn't notice the shudder that ran through Emma at seeing this dominant side to Regina. "So sit back, and let me show you just what I can do to you." Emma was practically dying inside. Regina was doing things to her no one had ever done before. And as she watched Regina move down her body to come level with her hand, Emma was certain she was going to combust. Regina sat there for a second before spreading Emma open and gently blowing on her moist clit. Emma threw her head back on the pillow and moaned. Regina watched the reaction she caused in Emma, and smiled.

She didn't think twice before moving forward and claiming Emma for her own. Regina got her first taste of Emma, and she wanted to be able to taste it again and again for the rest of her life. She swiped her tongue up from Emma's opening up to her clit. Regina noticed Emma reacting the most when she touched her clit. So she went straight for that. She was sucking on Emma's clit. Swirling her tongue around it. Anything she could think of doing that would make Emma squirm. And then, without any warning to Emma, Regina entered her with two fingers. Filling her up instantly. Emma shot up quickly. Not expecting the intrusion at all. The look on Emma's face was a mixture between pain and pleasure. She really didn't know how to feel. No one was ever so evasive. People normally treated her with delicacy because she was a single mom. But Regina was anything but gentle.

Regina knew what she wanted and was going straight for it. And when Regina slowly started moving her fingers inside Emma and continued her assault on her clit, Emma knew that what she was feeling was pleasure. Pure pleasure. And she never wanted it to end. Regina was amazing. She couldn't believe she had never done anything like this. Emma was running her finger through Regina's hair over and over, trying to keep a small grip on the reality of what was happening. Regina was making her begin to see stars. Regina had barely been working Emma for a minute and Emma knew she was close. Regina could feel Emma's walls constricting around her fingers. It was a strange feeling, but she knew what it meant. And when Emma finally reached her climax, every muscle in her body wound so tight she wasn't sure she would ever come back down. Emma arched her back so sharp and her breath completely stopped. She couldn't move an inch even if she tried.

Regina kept her movements slow, but strong. She wanted Emma to feel as amazing for as long as possible. Regina licked and tasted everything that Emma was giving her. Slowly, Emma begin to relax back onto the bed. Her muscles relenting and her body almost melted down into the bed. Regina slowed her movement on Emma, gently licking her whilst she removed her fingers from Emma's still tight core. Emma whimpered slightly at the loss of being filled. Regina nearly missed it, but she caught it still. She smiled to herself at causing Emma to result in puddle of mush. She was proud of herself to say the least.

"Oh my god Regina. That was…I can't even…I have never come so fast." Emma was struggling to catch her breath after that. Regina crawled up Emma's body, kissing spots along the way. When she was finally level with Emma, Regina leant down and kissed Emma. Hard and deep. Regina knew how she felt for Emma. She wanted to be with Emma for as long as Emma would have her.

"Emma I…I think…no I know." Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion slightly. Regina was never lost for words. So this was first for both of them

"What is it Regina?" Emma rubbed Regina's arms trying to calm her.

"Emma, I love you." Regina broke out into a huge grin, but Emma just laid there completely stunned. She didn't expect Regina to say that. "Please say something." The waver in Regina's voice nearly broke Emma. Regina had just bared her feelings to Emma, and she was lying there like roadkill. So without saying a word, Emma flipped them over so she was no over Regina. The surprise was evident on Regina's face.

"I love you too." Emma said. As sincere and honest as she spoke. "Will you let me show you how much I love and care for you?" Regina could no longer talk. She was on an emotional high from hearing Emma say she loved her back, but also because she was both excited and terrified of what was going to happen next.

Emma made her way down Regina's body. Making certain that she paid plenty of attention to the breasts that had been plaguing her dreams for weeks now. Emma was like a kid in a candy store when she finally got to have her way with Regina's breast. Feeling Regina begin to writhe beneath her, Emma decided to continue down her body. Kissing and nipping at Regina's body as she went. Emma couldn't get enough of her, and Regina hoped that never changed. When Emma got low enough, she spread Regina's legs slightly and even in the dim light, she could see the neatly trimmed pussy before her. And it was glistening. Regina was so wet. And Emma was so happy. She wanted this to be nice for Regina. Make her feel good. And the wetter Regina was, the more comfortable she would be.

Emma began rubbing her fingers through Regina's folds. Regina was lowly moaning and groaning at the feeling of Emma rubbing her. She had her hands up by her head, grabbing the pillow to ground herself. Emma loved the sight. But she needed to keep focused on what she was doing. Now was the time for Regina to enjoy herself. Emma began to circle around Regina's entrance. She looked up to make sure Regina was okay. But Regina seemed completely unfazed by her actions. With that in mind, Emma slowly started to push her index finger into Regina. And that was when things started going south. Regina started to clamp up tighter than a vice in a workshop. Emma looked up and saw the look of fear on Regina's face. Climbing back up the bed, but keeping her hand at Regina's entrance, Emma got so close to Regina's face they were breathing the same air.

"Regina, at this point I really need you to relax." Regina was breathing incredibly hard. She was so scared. She had heard horror stories from her friends of how much their first times felt they were being ripped apart. And she didn't want to feel that.

"I know I should relax but…" Emma cut her off before she could start her downward spiral.

"Do you trust me?" Regina relaxed at the question. She knew the answer off by heart.

"Completely."

"Then trust me when I say I am going to take care of you." Emma leaned in and captured Regina's lips in a fierce kiss. Regina let herself be consumed in everything that was Emma. Emma was doing everything she could to distract Regina, so as she began to push back into her with her finger, she was met with virtually no resist. But Regina was still incredibly tight. Emma was gentle though. She made sure to only go in a little before pulling back out and then going in slightly deeper the next time. She kept doing this until she was buried into Regina up to her knuckle. And all this time Regina had just been moaning into Emma's mouth. Regina pulled back when she realised that she could feel Emma's knuckle pressing against her. They locked eyes waiting for the other to give them a sign. "Are you ready?"

"I have never wanted anything more." Regina replied. Emma gently moved her finger back and forth. Regina was already wriggling. Emma figured Regina would be quick to enjoy this, but she didn't expect herself to enjoy the view quite so much. Emma moved her thumb up to Regina's clit and rubbed. And that was it. Regina was gone. A hoarse cry ripped from the back of Regina's throat as her orgasm completely overtook her. Emma physically couldn't move the finger buried in Regina. Regina was already tight, and she got even tighter as she climaxed. So Emma just sat and watched. Regina started coming back down from her high. Emma still remained inside Regina. She waited for Regina to tell her she was ready for Emma to move. A small nod from Regina gave Emma the permission she needed. Bring her hand up to cup Regina's cheek, Emma brushed a stray hair out of Regina's face.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked. Looking into Regina's eyes searching for any sign of regret or pain, but she found none.

"I am buzzing. I have never felt anything quite like that. Thank you."

You're welcome." Emma continued to caress Regina's face. She slowly shifted herself so she was laying by the side of Regina. Pulling Regina into her side and brushing her fingers through Regina's hair. It was soothing for the both of them. They felt like they were in this little bubble and they never wanted it to pop. So they didn't think about it. They simply enjoyed the here and the now. Both content to simply lay together and enjoy the time they had together.
