This is a Swan Queen fic all the way, however, there are mentions of Outlaw Queen and Captain Swan again to ground the fic in reality. I have taken artistic license with a few things. I wrote this in about 2 days and like I said, this is my first fic so reviews are appreciated.
Rated M for a sex scene and some swearing in this final extra long chapter. Please review if you enjoyed reading it and there may be a sequel in the works...
BEATING FATE
By
Red Andraste
Chapter 7
The crackling fire and the rain hitting against the window panes were amplified by the deathly silence that now fell upon the former Evil Queen's sitting room. Emma sat facing Regina, a pained expression on her face. Regina slowly sipped at her whisky staring into the fire.
"Regina..please, tell me I'm not alone on this?"
"Emma...whatever I say next..." she finally said before placing her glass on the table and meeting Emma's eyes.
"Then don't say anything at all" Emma said before moving quickly to cup Regina's face in her hands. She looked deeply into the Mayor's eyes, electric green searching soulful brown eyes and moved her face closer. She heard Regina make a small gasp before she closed the distance, kissing her tentatively. When Regina didn't pull away, she deepened the kiss using her tongue to elicit a small but audible moan from Regina before she heard a muffled "Stop"
"I'm sorry..." Emma started
"Emma, we can't we...we have to stop"
"Regina..."
"I think you should leave now" Regina said getting off the sofa and heading briskly for the door "Please" she added before opening the door
Emma got up and walked towards Regina stopping in front of her "The flowers" Regina looked blankly at Emma "They're Rain Lilies. When you're ready to accept this thing between us, look them up" she said before handing her a small book of botanicals from her jacket pocket and heading out through the door without another word.
Regina stood staring at the closed door, what the hell had just happened? She let Emma kiss her. All the walls she had tried to put up, all the incantations she read in an attempt to find a way to alter the course of fate or whatever this was, all were now redundant. She let Emma kiss her and if she was being really honest with herself, a part of her really she wanted her to.
There was no denying, it, it felt good, it felt...right somehow. She wasn't sure if it was fate or something else but it felt ethereal, magical even. Something written in the stars eons before and not dictated by some author or concocted by Rumplestilkin as Regina had tried to convince Emma.
Emma wasn't just born to break the curse; Emma was born to defeat the Evil Queen but not in battle, in love.
Brave Emma Swan, whose walls mirrored her own, selflessly gave a piece of herself up in the moment of that kiss to convey her true feelings and Regina, the former Evil Queen and commander of an army a thousand men strong, cowardly retreated.
Pushing off the door, Regina turned the book Emma had given her over in her hand. She didn't take Emma for any sort of horticulturist, given what her and a chainsaw did to her apple tree a few years previously and the neglected hanging baskets adoring her front porch.
Opening the book, she flicked to a page with an illustration of the yellow lilies Emma had given her. After skim reading some rather tedious information on the plant genus, Regina came to the final paragraph. The yellow Rain Lily is a symbol of eternal friendship, when given to a loved one; it means simply, I love you back. Regina closed the book carefully letting out a soft sigh. Without a second thought, she grabbed her coat and headed out into the night.
With Snow and David taking Henry out to the movies for what they called "quality grandparent time" Emma was left alone in her large townhouse. She sat in her wing backed chair, facing the large front bay window, legs curled underneath her. Her head resting on crossed arms as she watched the storm move over the town. She thought about Regina. She thought about their relationship and how it was evolving in ways she never thought possible. Fate, prewritten destiny and all the crap, what the hell did it matter? She always knew she had feelings for Regina. She thought maybe Regina felt the same about her. All those sexually charged fights and slanging matches when they first met all those years ago. Sheriff Swan versus Mayor Mills. The look Regina would give Emma mid fight making Emma uncertain whether she was going to kiss her or kill her.
A sharp knock at the door brought her out of her thoughts. Opening the door, she saw the soaked and somewhat bedraggled Mayor of Storybrooke.
"Regina, what are you..."
Regina moved swiftly inside the house pushing Emma up against the door as it closed behind them "To hell with fate" she said simply before grasping her by the collar of her jacket and pulling her in a passionate kiss. It took about two seconds for Emma to register what was happening before she became a willing participant, her hands snaking around Regina's waist, pulling her in closer. Emma moaned into the kiss as Regina's tongue met hers moving her hands to Regina's ass. Breaking the kiss momentarily, Emma breathed a happy and somewhat relived sigh
"Good girls aren't supposed to kiss like that Miss Swan" Regina said, a sly smile playing at her lips.
"One, we both know I'm not an entirely good girl.." A quick kiss "...and two, don't call me Miss Swan, because it makes this good girl go all sorts of bad..."
"Really?" Regina says running her fingers over the collar of Emma's jacket seductively
"Really" Emma retorts before pushing off the door and removing Regina's jacket "And right now, I'd like to get you out of these wet clothes" She smiled before instigating another long kiss. Regina moaned into the kiss before she too started to remove Emma's clothes. With a wave of Regina's hands, a cloud of purple smoke engulfed them both transporting them to Emma's bedroom.
Moving backwards towards the bed never breaking the barrage of kisses, Emma now in her underwear moved to lie on the bed as Regina crawled on top of her. Breaking the kiss, Regina looked down at Emma, her hands either side of the Saviour's head. She needed moment of clarity. Absorbing the gravitas of what they were about to do, she looked searchingly at Emma.
"Have you ever done this before?"
"No" Emma says breathily "...but...I want to with you"
Regina smiled before kissing her deeply again as Emma's arms moved up Regina's sides, stroking softly. Regina moved to head to the side of Emma's kissing and sucking softly on her neck eliciting a soft moan. "I'm not sure..what..."
"It's ok...just do what feels good" Emma encouraged between heavy breaths
Regina sat up astride Emma and slowly removed her black lacy bra, one strap at a time before pulling the garment away and throwing it on the floor. Emma's eyes darkened and she bit her lip subconsciously. "I can certainly see why so many men followed you into battle your Majesty" Emma said sitting up and removing her own red bra quickly
"And there's a good reason why I followed you into hell and back my dear" Regina added smiling seductively gently pushing Emma back down and moving her hands over her breasts. She stroked the globes of Emma's pale breasts softly watching every expression on Emma's face before moving her thumbs and forefingers to her nipples turning them over in her fingers.
"Oh god.." Emma moaned as her hips started to move of their own accord, her hands finding purchase on Regina's ass.
Regina kissed her again quickly before moving back to the side of her neck and licking a path from her pulse point, across her décolletage to her pert pink nipples. Her right hand stroking softly down Emma's toned abdominal muscles stopping short of the elastic of her red underwear and drawing lazy circles below her navel. Regina softly licked a nipple before taking it in her mouth and sucking, moving her hand back up to squeeze the nipple on her other breast. Emma moaned loudly.
Regina released the nipple with a wet pop "Is this ok?..." she asked apprehensively looking up at Emma
"More than ok" Emma replied "Keep going"
Regina turned her attention to Emma's other nipple, taking this in her mouth and gently grazing it with her teeth before moving her right hand back down to Emma's navel to continue its tantalising dance above her underwear.
"Oh shit" Emma breathed softly. Regina moved from Emma's breasts to kiss her again deeply, as her hand slowly moved under the elastic of Emma's underwear. Regina's hand moved over Emma's mound, feeling the sparse hair against her fingertips before sliding into her slick folds.
"God you feel good...and so wet..." Regina said before she could censor herself
"Because of you" Emma managed between breaths
Regina's fingers moved to find Emma's clit and started to move slowly in a circling motion. Emma, unable to hold back started to move her fingers up and down the front of Regina's underwear tracing the line of her slit.
"Oh god" Regina moaned before momentarily stopping her ministrations and pulling off her own underwear quickly as Emma in turn, quickly removed hers. Regina moved her fingers back to Emma's clit as Emma dipped her fingers into Regina's folds to find the former Evil Queen was equally as aroused as she was.
Emma moved her fingers up to find Regain's clit and started to rub gently "Ugh" Regina moaned and moved down to meet Emma's kiss. Emma moved quickly into a sitting position with Regina straddling her. With that, Emma started to suck at Regina's left nipple whilst moving her thumb over Regina's now engorged clit. Regain's hips moved in time with Emma's and her breaths started to come quickly.
"Emma...I need"
"What.."
"Your fingers...I need you inside me...please"
Without hesitation, Emma moved her fingers from Regina's clit, moving them down and angling them upwards as she pushed two inside her.
The both moaned at the sensation before Emma started to pump her fingers in and out in a steady rhythm. Regina threw her head back and sounded a low guttural moan as she rode her, meeting Emma's hips on the downward thrust. Splaying her hands on Emma's stomach, she moved her thumbs to their joined centres. Regina started to rub Emma's clit roughly causing another loud moan from the Saviour.
"Emma...I'm going to..."
"Me too... me too"
"Oh god..."
"Oh fuck..."
The bedroom lights started to flicker erratically above them as the very ground beneath them started to shake. As their orgasm ripped through them, a bright white light projected from joined bodies as the lights above them exploded. Small sparks lighting up the now darkened room.
Regina collapsed onto Emma, her body slick with sweat. Emma encircled her arms around Regina's back, hugging her closely. As their breathing evened out, Regina rolled off Emma to lie beside her.
"That dear...was..."
"Incredible" Emma finished
"Indeed..." Regina said placing a soft chaste kiss on Emma's lips
"We should have done that years ago" Emma smiled gently caressing Regina's cheek "What was with the light show?"
"You certainly won't find that phenomenon in any fairy tale book" Regina says with a sly smile
"Excuse me?"
"Well you can't very well write true love's fuck into the book, it is supposed to be for children after all..."
"Your Majesty! Such language is not fitting of a queen!" Emma said rolling on top of Regina straddling her whilst pinning her wrists above her head
"Ah, but you forget, I'm the Evil Queen my dear and sometimes I do evil things..." Regina says before encircling Emma's waist with her legs and pulling her down so their centres met, sending an electric tingle between their bodies.
"You are Evil" Emma says playfully, releasing Regina wrists before lowering herself for a soft kiss "But I love you anyway"
Regina looks at Emma with a soft smile "Always have. Always will" The sheriff adds
Regina's eyes water as she moves a stray blonde curl from Emma's face, holding her palm against her cheek "What did I do right to deserve someone like you?"
"You became the person you always were deep down..." Emma says earnestly before adding "Plus some fate crap about me being the daughter of Snow White...a curse...an adopted son...yadda yadda yadda" she smiles
"I do you know..."
"What?" Emma asks as she rolls off Regina to lie beside her
"Love you" Regina says softly
"I know that Regina!, jeeze, it's like the only person not to know that was you!" Emma jokes before thinking mischievously, gently prodding Regina in chest "Maybe it's the age thing..."
"I don't like where this is going..." Regina said propping herself up on her elbow to look curiously at Emma
"Well technically, you are like, what? sixty? Without the whole frozen in time curse thing..."
"Miss Swan..."
"Maybe your perception isn't as good as it used to be..." Emma says laughing as she slowly retreats off the bed "Old timer..." she adds before running for the door
With a flick of her wrist, Regina slams the bedroom door before Emma can escape and produces a fireball in her hand.
"Woah! woah there! I was kidding, I was kidding!" Emma laughs. Regina smirks and blows out the fireball before stalking towards Emma.
"Idiot" She mutters as her arms encircle Emma's neck.
"Your idiot" Emma corrects her before her arms encircle Regina's waist giving her a soft kiss "For as long as you'll have me"
"How does forever sound?" Regina asks with a smile
"Sounds awfully like a happy ending to me..." Emma says and pulls Regina in for long, languid kiss.
The End
Well I hope you all enjoyed reading that as much as I enjoyed writing it. Writing this has given me a much greater appreciation for those author's writing 50k plus stories, how do you do it?!
I loved writing Regina a little vulnerable because its always bubbling under the surface on the show and Emma was written more in line with her character in seasons 1 through 4 kickass and cocky and not Season 5 Emma (thankfully!) Henry admittedly is written a little younger than he is on the show as the story lended itself to him being that way.
The sex scene was written in a way that I thought in reality would happen between two women who've never been with other women, showing the vulnerabilities and apprehension that situation may bring. I didn't want them to kiss and them end up strapping on a cock going hell for leather like in a porno! - don't get me wrong, I love a bit of smutty SQ but it did't fit this story.
Anyway, again, hope you enjoyed it, reviews would be lovely! Red x
