Seven Devils

"Holy water cannot help you now. See I've had to burn your kingdom down, and no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out. I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out. Seven devils all around you…" ~Florence + the Machine

"Are you strong enough to stand, protecting both your heart and mine? Who is the betrayer? Who's the killer in the crowd? The one who creeps in corridors and doesn't make a sound." ~Florence + the Machine

The heavy rain fell from the night sky like God watering his garden. The drops were thick and heavy not missing an inch of ground. Her black umbrella covered her head, crowning her as she walked the empty streets. The tips of her pencil heels sent little water droplets splashing as she walked. She was queen of the night, darkness was her strength fueling her inner fire. The soft glow of orange and white lights scattered across the outsides of the buildings. The lights casted her a long shadow across the gleaming street. It was almost nine o'clock and she had just left the office. It was one of the longest nights she had ever spent there. It was time to go home and even though it was raining and she had a car she felt like walking.

Almost an hour later she finally reached the sidewalk that led up to her front door. Stopping at the gate she looked up to see the blonde women standing under the porch light. She was leaning up against one of the white pillars with her hands stuffed in her pockets. Smirking, she opened the metal gate and slowly approached the porch. Climbing the few brick steps she walked right past her and pulled out her keys. Pushing open the heavy door and closing the umbrella she stepped inside. "Will you be joining me this evening?" she asked seductively.

"Is that an invitation in?" she responded softly.

"Take it as you please."

"You know better than to keep a lady waiting," the blonde teased.

"Well if I had known one was waiting for me I would have hurried."

"Good to know," she said stepping inside. Emma followed Regina inside and quietly shut the door.

"Want a drink," Regina offered.

"You know that's not what I want."

Regina stopped at the stairs and spun around on her heel. She placed her hand on the railing and tilted her head. "Oh?" she said pretending to be surprised. "Then tell me… what is it that you want?"

"You." Regina watched as her hips swayed as she approached her. "Upstairs, now."

"Yes ma'am," she smirked with a grin. She loved it when Emma was dominant and took control. She always let her think she had the upper hand at first but then showed her who was really in charge.

Emma grinned as she followed the older woman up the stairs. They had been sleeping together for four months now and were addicted. It was completely casual but they couldn't stop wanting each other, or maybe it was just the sex they had fallen for. Emma had been with one or two women before and she knew Regina had to have been, because no one was just that good. When they reached the bedroom Emma immediately embraced Regina and pushed her up against the back of the door. She hungrily latched her lips to hers and began pulling at her shirt.

They had stripped each other down to only their black bras and lace panties. Emma slid her hand up and cupped the side of Regina's face. She broke the passionate kiss and with her free hand pulled her hips forward. "Regina… I didn't just come here for sex. I came here because I wanted to talk to you."

"Can't it wait?"

"No."

"Ok then, can we at least sit down?"

"Yeah," she grabbed her hand and walked them over to the queen size bed. She brushed her hair behind her ear and took a deep breath. "When we started this 'relationship' well… when we became fuck buddies, friends with benefits, enemies with benefits, or whatever the hell you want to call it… you said there was one rule. No strings attached and feelings shouldn't be developed."

"Yes I did say that. Something you want to change about it?"

"Maybe."

"Well are you wanting to enforce it or break it?"

"Break… I've gotten attached. I know you strictly said not to but I have. I want more Regina, but I understand if you want to stop this knowing how I feel, I can stop."

"You can just stop having feelings for me?"

"No, but I can hide them."

She hesitated. She had a feeling they would eventually reach this point but she had always assumed it would have been her to break. She too had developed feelings but she buried them deep. "What makes you like me like that?" she asked her voice laced with curiosity.

"You're beautiful, smart, confident, a great mother to Henry. You make me feel things Regina and just in bed," she laughed softly. "You make me feel things when we're working or when I pass you on the street and see you at the dinner. I get butterflies, my heart races. When we fight in front of everyone it sets the fire that's burning inside and I know you feel that too. You challenge me, you always make my days interesting. And there is that bonus of you being amazing in bed," she smiled. "But I'll go, I broke the rule."

"No, you don't have to go," she said before Emma could get up. Emma slowly turned her head in the other woman's direction and a puzzled but relieved stare.

"You want me to stay?"

"Without a doubt," she breathed. Regina swung her leg over Emma's lap and straddled her waist. She very slowly began grinding her hips against hers. She arched her back to make herself taller than her. Looking down at her porcelain face Regina locked their lips once more. Emma gladly accepted hoping this moment meant that Regina felt the same way. She dug her nails into the brunettes back, dragging them down to leave an assortment of red lines. Regina loved pain mixed with pleasure, it set her off into a more wild direction. Emma wasn't sure if it was because she was accustomed to pain or it was just one of her guilty pleasures. "Tell me more… about why," Regina said in between kisses.

"I love the way I make you smile when we're behind closed doors, and the way I make you laugh when no one else is around. It is by far the most beautiful sound I have ever heard." There she was again fueling her ego but she didn't care. Regina needed to know that there was someone out there who truly cared for her. "Tell me what you want."

"I want you."

"What do you want me to do to you?" Emma asked leaning back so Regina was lying on top of her. Regina's hand wandering south, cupping Emma's sex. Her nimble fingers teased the soaked fabric causing Emma to let out a soft moan.

"I want you… I want you to put me on my hands and knees," her husky voice whispered in to her ear. "And then I want you to fuck me from behind,"

"Is that it?" she swallowed.

"And I want you to use the red one to do it." The tone of her voice sent shivers running down Emma's back.

"As you wish… your majesty." Emma leaned over to the bedside table and pulled out the red strap-on that they loved so much. She also pulled out the handcuffs for herself. Closing the cuffs around Regina's wrists she pushed her down to her knees. "And what shall our safe word be tonight," she asked pressing the tip of the dildo to her entrance.

Regina's breath hitched. "I don't know dear, how about something a bit scandalous?"

"I'm guessing you have something in mind?"

"How about Snow?" she gave a wicked grin.

"Not Snow White?"

"Too long, Snow rolls off the tongue with a bit more ease," she said licking her lips.

"Using my mother's name, well aren't you a bitch," she smirked as she pushed the shaft inside her. Regina let out a small yelp but soon fell into complete bliss.

An hour later their sweaty bodies rolled off one another finding comfort at each other's side. Their chests rose rapidly as they tried to catch their breath. Emma turned her head and read the digital clock. It was eleven thirty, she'd better get going now if she wanted to get home without being questioned about where she was. She sat up to leave but Regina grabbed her wrist. "Stay. It's always you leaving or me… stay this time. I want you to stay the night."

"And what do you propose I tell my parents and our son?"

"What you always tell them, you went out with Ruby, but this time you drank a little too much and decided to stay at Granny's." Emma laid back down and pulled the covers over the both of them.

"Anything for you."

….

There are seven devils in hell and each one represents one of the seven deadly sins. Theirs Lucifer who's the price of pride. Mammon the prince of avarice, Asmodeus the prince of lechery, Satan the prince of anger, Beelzebub the prince of gluttony, Leviathan the prince of envy, and Belphegore the prince of sloth. Each one has a chain around your ankle and when the time comes it drops the anchor keeping you prisoner. There are seven devils all around you.

….

When they woke up the next morning Regina could see the happiness that filled Emma's eyes. It stuck fear deep within her heart. It has been decades since she had been in a relationship with someone that wasn't based strictly on pleasure alone. Emma had poured her heart out last night and she hadn't said anything. She wondered if Emma had thought she had sealed the deal by sleeping with her. It's not that she didn't have feelings for Emma, it was just that she was afraid too. Love and her didn't really get along. "Emma… we need to talk."
