A/N: was originally supposed to be a one shot but was inspired enough to add a second chapter. I don't think I will be adding any more to this story tho. I like how it ended. As usual I own nothing but the thoughts in my head. And please review! They are what motivate me to write more!

Emmas arms instinctively tightened around Reginas waist as soon as she took off. The older woman let out a chuckle when she felt the savior tense and press herself more fully against her back. She couldn't help the large smile that formed as she sped up. Regina loved the feeling of riding a motorcycle. It reminded her of when she used to ride Rocinante. The speed, the power, the freedom. And now she was sharing that joy with her friend. Her incredibly attractive blode friend. It thrilled her to feel the sherriffs body pressed firmly against her backside. She shivered as Emmas hands splayed out across her middle and she felt the weight of the blondes chin on her shoulder.
Emma decided to take advantage of her position and melded her body with the brunettes. Thoroughly enjoying holding the older woman tightly in her arms. She decided she could get used to that feeling. Of course this wasn't her first ride on the back of a motorcycle, but she decided that this is by far her favorite.
Regina slowed and turned driving past the docks and headed down to the beach. The sun was setting, so it was slowly getting dark. When she came to a complete stop she parked her bike and kicked the stand down, before she removed her helmet and shook her hair out. Emma leaned back and took her own helmet off before placing one hand back on the bruntettes hip. She swung her leg over and hopped off the bike. She sat the helmet on the seat then watched as Regina gracefully swung her leg off the bike and put her helmet on the seat as well.
Regina turned to face Emma with the biggest smile the blonde had seen on the other woman. Emma couldn't help the flutters in her stomach at the sight of the brunette looking so relaxed and happy. Before Emma could say anything, Regina held out her hand for the blonde to take. She reached out and slide her palm against the older womans and watched as Regina laced their fingers together.
"Is this ok?" The mayor asked cautiously.
The sherriff simply smiled and squeezed the brunettes hand lightly. Regina grinned and turned walking down toward the beach, dragging a beaming savior along. They made their way down to a large piece of driftwood and sat side by side, neither letting go of the others hand. They talked until the sun was fully gone and the stars were shining bright in the sky. Regina noticed first and looked around before turning back to the blonde.
"i didn't realize it had gotten so late."
Emma finally noticed how dark it was and nodded in agreement.
"I guess we should probably head back?" the blonde questioned.
Regina sighed but stood up pulling Emma up with her. Suddenly the blondes stomach growled interrupting the quiet.
"Hungry Miss Swan?" Regina asked amused.
Emma blushed and answered. "Yeah, I haven't eaten since lunch today."
"Would you like to come over? I can make us up something to eat."
Emma nodded immediately. She couldn't pass up an opportunity to enjoy Reginas amazing cooking.
"Sure, Let me just let my parents know." She pulled out her phone and sent a quick text to Mary Margaret. She looked up as she slid her phone back into her pocket. "Should I stop by the apartment and see if Henry is still awake and bring him along?"
"As much as I would enjoy that, it is already late and he should be in bed by now. He is fine to stay with your parents. I will pick him up from school tomorrow." Emma nodded and they turned and walked back up the beach to the waiting motorcycle.
"Would you like me to drop you off at the station so you can pick up your car or just ride straight to my house?" Regina asked as she grabbed her helmet and put it on.
Emma was busy putting the extra helmet on when she answered with a smirk, "I'll pick the bug up later."
Regina beamed and climbed onto the bike and waited as Emma climbed on right after, once again situating herself snuggly behind the older woman. When she felt the blonde settle in she started up the bike, kicked the stand up, but it in gear and took off back into town.

Regina stopped in front of her garage and allowed the blonde to climb off before she manuvered the bike into its parking spot. She took her helmet off and accepted the extra helmet from the sherriff and put them both away. Once the garage was closed up and locked she magicked her outfit back to the one she had been wearing earlier that day. She smirked at the blondes slight dissapointment in her outfit change, and walked into her house with the savior right on her heels.
Emma couldn't tear her eyes away from the brunette as she followed behind her into the house. She also wasnt paying much attention to her surroundings, so she didn't realize when the older woman turned around suddenly to ask her a question.
"Emma!" The mayor repeated.
The blonde shook her head and her eyes snapped up. "Sorry what was that?"
"I asked what you would like to eat."
Emmas cheeks turned pink and her pupils dialated a bit as she stared at the brunette. Regina noticed the look of desire on the saviors face and cleared her throat. Emma stepped closer slowly giving the older woman a chance to back away. Instead she stood still and allowed the blonde to invade her personal space.
"There has been one particular thing I have been dying to taste." She spoke softly and her eyes flickered down to plump red lips before gazing back into deep brown eyes.
The mayor licked her lips subconciously and watched the sherriff through hooded eyes. This is it. She might finally get to know what those delicious pink lips feel and taste like. She forced her breathing to remain steady, and moved her gaze from the saviors slightly parted mouth back up into darkened emerald green eyes.
"Can i kiss you?"
Regina nodded. Emma moved her hands up to cup the mayors cheeks and slowly moved in brushing her lips softly against soft plump red ones. She pulled back and eyed the brunette. Reginas eyes slowly opened and she grabbed the blondes jacket and pulled her back in crushing their lips together. They moved tentatively against each other, nipping slightly. Emmas one hand tangled in dark hair and the other arm wrapped around the mayors neck. Meanwhile the older womans hands squeezed the blondes hips and her nails dug into fabric, gripping tightly. They parted when oxygen became necessary and leaned their foreheads together.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." Emma whispered with her eyes still closed.
"Maybe about as long as I have?"
Emmas eyes snapped open and she watched Regina, a smile blooming on her face. The mayor bit her lip shyly, and it was the sexiest thing the sherriff had ever seen. Before she could stop herself she leaned in and kissed the brunette again.
"So what does this make us?" The older woman asked quietly.
"I care about you Regina."
"I care for you too."
"What do you want us to be?" The blonde held her breath hoping the older woman would tell her she wanted to be with her.
Regina was her best friend and she could live with that, but she also hoped to become more to the woman. She wanted to be her lover, her partner, her happy ending. Regina stood quietly thinking. She wanted to be with Emma. But she worried, because everyone she has ever loved left her. Wait loved? What? It was too early to be love right? Regina shook those thoughts off and looked in to the hopeful gaze of the blonde and decided it was worth the risk.
Emma couldn't help the hopeful look on her face, but the longer the brunette stayed quiet the antsier she got. Her eyes lit up at the smile that formed on the mayors face.
"I want to be with you Emma. Our friendship has meant so much to me but I care about you so deeply. I would like to see where things go with this." She gestured between the two of them.
Emma couldn't help the happy laugh that bubbled up and she let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank gods!"
Regina laughed happily and kissed the sherriff chastely before stepping back and moving into the kitchen. The blonde hurried along behind her and wrapped her arms around the older womans waist.
"I can't believe my girlfriend is a closeted biker." Emma chuckled
Regina swatter her arms playfully. "Yes well, I have a reputation to uphold as mayor."
"Your secret is safe with me babe." Regina raised her eyebrow and twisted in the blondes arms to look at her.
"Babe?"
"Yes, babe. Don't act like you don't like it."
Regina couldn't fight the smile and wrapped her arms around the younger womans neck.
"Fine, but if you ever call me that in public, there will be no more rides for you." She glared playfully.
Emma swallowed at the double meaning and decided not to press her luck.
"Yes dear."
Regina smirked and kissed the sherriff again, simply because she could.
