"I can't believe the only party in town is at the Mayor's house. It's New Year's Eve for god's sake. What even is this town?" Emma huffed and folded her arms as she walked alongside Mary Margaret and Ruby. She was tempted to spend the night on Mary Margaret's couch binge watching a TV show with a tub of Ben and Jerry's but somehow her friend had persuaded her to go out promising that she would have more fun out with them than staying in, something that Emma very much doubted.

"The Mayor's house is the biggest and she has the most alcohol." Ruby shrugged, she hadn't really thought about it before, it had become a tradition in town that New Year's was spent at the Mayor's house.

"She probably won't even let me in to her precious mansion anyway." Emma groaned once again as the bright mansion came into view, the music loud enough to be heard on the street. Regina Mills didn't seem like the person who would have a party or have any kind of fun at all so it came as a shock to her to hear that the Mayor was the one to be holding the only party in Storybrooke.

"Regina may be evil but she's not that evil. Besides she's always much more welcoming on New Year's Eve, I've never really understood why." Mary Margaret added as the three of them made their way to Regina's front door. Ruby pounded on the door excitedly while Emma stood noticeably behind the other two women.

"Miss Blanchard, Miss Lucas." Regina greeted as she opened the door allowing for the two women to come in but stepping in front of the doorway just before Emma could follow in after them. "And Miss Swan." Regina looked the blonde up and down a couple of times, surprised that she had the audacity to invite herself to her party. Her lips turned up a little when she had seen that Emma had at least made an effort for the occasion. Her hair was styled in long loose waves and she wore a tight red dress which Regina hated to admit but it showed her body off spectacularly well. "I was unaware that you'd be joining the festivities, Sheriff."

Emma could feel Regina's intense gaze upon her and she felt strangely nervous, she hadn't even wanted to go to this stupid party anyway. "Yeah, well it wasn't exactly my first choice to come here." She grumbled and looked into Regina's eyes daring her to close the door on her face.

"Follow me." Regina said simply and turned on her heel leading Emma through the growing crowd in her hallway and into a small room at the back of the house which was now filled with the coats and jackets of her guests. Regina stopped abruptly and motioned for Emma to close the door behind them once she had entered the room. "I don't know what kind of game you are playing by coming here but it's not going to work. Henry is not here and even if he was he would not be seeing you." Regina stated firmly, her hands placed decisively on her hips.

"I'm not playing a game." Emma sighed and combed her hand through her hair, why did Regina always assume that there was an ulterior motive in everything that she did? "I came here to have a good time with my friends, that's all. Where is Henry anyway?"

"My son is at a friend's house tonight, not that it is any of your concern."

"Are you always this uptight? It's New Year's Eve, can't you just chill out for one night?"

Regina glared at the blonde, how dare she insult her in her own house? The brunette grabbed Emma's shoulders and pushed her back against the door behind them, a sudden anger continuing to rise each time her eyes met with the other woman's somewhat smug face. "I am anything but uptight Miss Swan. I simply do not like being around you."

Emma remained strangely calm underneath Regina's strong grasp managing to keep a poker face much to Regina's annoyance. "Really? Cos it seems like the opposite. You come and check up on me at the Sheriff's office every day, you always seem to come into Granny's when I'm there and you've cornered me into a room at your own party but whatever, keep saying shit like that if it makes you feel any better."

Nothing frustrated Regina more than when she had no effect on people. She was the Mayor, the leader, she was used to people fearing her yet Emma was standing inches away from her looking confident and haughty and it was driving her mad. "This is my town Miss Swan. I can't let delinquents like you run around without any supervision." The mayor jeered inching closer to the other woman; Emma Swan was proving to be a problem, one which she could not get rid of.

Emma continued to remain calm, knowing that it got to the Mayor. "So you like supervising me, do you?" She asked with a glint in her eye, knowing that she had probably crossed the line but not caring too much either way. Regina already had it in for her, the worst she could do now was throw her out of her house.

What happened next took Emma by surprise, heck it even took Regina by surprise. Instead of reacting with a bitter insult or a brutal take-down she reacted with a different venom altogether. The brunette slammed her lips against the blondes, her anger dissipating with every new taste that she was experiencing. Emma responded accordingly, her tongue being the first to slip into the kiss, her hands grasping over Regina's back clinging onto her tightly. The kiss only ended when the two of them began to battle for breath, Regina pulled away sharply as if she had been stung. She looked at Emma with slight mortification, annoyed at herself for acting upon the underlying yet undeniable chemistry between the two of them.

Emma responded with nothing but a smirk, allowing the Mayor to compose herself before speaking. "I always knew you liked me really, Madam Mayor."

"Don't flatter yourself, Swan." Regina smoothed her hands over her dress, her eyes resting upon Emma's lips and refusing to leave them. "Meet me in my bedroom at the end of the night." She spoke in a low husk as she shifted past Emma and strutted confidently out of the door, joining the rest of her guests as if that brief encounter had not happened.

Emma couldn't hide the satisfied grin from appearing on her face as she followed Regina out of the room moments later, her eyes searching for her friends and avoiding Regina at all costs. This was going to be a painful and extremely long couple of hours to get through.

Regina knew exactly what she was doing; after all she had pulled this charade many times before in her life. She spent most of the party politely socialising with the residents of Storybrooke shooting Emma seductive glances at every chance that she was given. Midnight came and passed and slowly the many guests began to dwindle in twos and threes before only a handful of people remained. Regina excused herself politely and made her way upstairs hoping that the remaining guests would get the message that the party was over and it was time for them to leave.

"See I told you it would be a good night, Emma." Mary Margaret chimed as she propped up a very drunk looking Ruby on her shoulder.

"Okay, you were right. Now let's get this one home before she does any damage." Emma laughed at the sight of her friend mumbling something incoherently under her breath and rushed to her other side to help Mary Margaret walk Ruby home.

Once Ruby had been returned safely to Granny's Emma had the tougher job of getting away from Mary Margaret. She looked over as the brunette yawned, she could wait until she had fallen asleep and then sneak out of the house but she didn't want to risk missing out on Regina's once in a lifetime offer and God knows she couldn't wait much longer, just the thought of Regina waiting for her was turning her on a ridiculous amount. "Hey, I think I left something at the party. I'll meet you back at the apartment okay?" Emma sputtered and gave her confused friend a quick hug before turning to leave and practically sprinting across town and back to 108 Mifflin Street.

"Madam Mayor?" Emma purred as she leaned on the door frame to Regina's bedroom. "Are you ready for me now?" She watched on as the Mayor turned to face her, noticing that the brunette had retouched her makeup from earlier and she now looked even more delicious than she had ever seen her before.

"It's about time that you showed up, Miss Swan. I guess punctuality is not your thing, I can't say that I'm surprised." Regina rolled her eyes but invited Emma to enter nonetheless.

"Well I could hardly tell Mary Margaret and Ruby that I was invited to a very exclusive after party alone with the Mayor, could I?" Emma closed the door behind her and walked over to the brunette who was standing invitingly close to the Queen sized bed behind her.

"Enough talk." Regina spoke breathily and grasped Emma's wrist as soon as she was close enough tugging the woman towards her desperately; a small gasp escaping her mouth as her lips were met eagerly by Emma's. She felt her knees touch the side of the bed and bent backwards onto it pulling the blonde down with her and making sure her lips never pulled away from Emma's the entire time. Regina shifted and rolled Emma over so she was on top of the blonde and ran her hand up the length of Emma's leg, her tongue begging for entry at the parting in Emma's lips.

Emma's mouth parted and she crashed her tongue against Regina's, the sensation of Regina's hand getting increasingly higher up her leg causing her head to spin in ecstasy. She felt her way to Regina's shoulders and pushed her dress straps down her arm which resulted in a moan from the brunette.

"Strip." Regina barked, her voice hazy and her eyes darker than Emma could have ever imagined. The blonde did as she was told and begrudgingly tore herself away from Regina and removed her dress in one smooth movement. She took her underwear off a little slower making sure she had Regina's full attention as she disregarded her remaining items of clothing.

"Your turn." Emma whispered as she lay naked on the bed, her eyes not leaving Regina's body as the brunette stood up and slowly undressed, teasing Emma in the most painful way that she could think of. Regina licked her lips seductively as she wiggled out of her underwear and joined Emma back on the bed.

It didn't take long for Regina to resume her position on top of Emma, her lips finding the blonde's neck and attaching herself firmly onto it. She bit down on her soft skin gently and sucked just enough to receive a moan from the woman beneath her. She trailed her hand over Emma's breasts and squeezed them, pinching her nipples until they were hard.

"Mhm, Regina." Emma gasped raising her body up slightly to meet the brunette's touch which in turn caused Regina to move her lips down lower. Emma wound her hand into Regina's hair and closed her eyes tightly, her breath hitching with every nip that was made to her skin.

Regina trailed long wet kisses down Emma's toned abdomen and positioned her hands tightly onto Emma's bare hips. She lowered her head and kissed her thighs, nipping and tugging at the skin with her teeth. "I see you're ready for me, Sheriff." Regina hummed looking up at the saviour with hooded eyes and an evil smile.

Emma replied with only a moan and a whimper before she felt the warm, indulgent wetness of Regina's tongue meeting with her centre. "God, Regina!" Emma cried out and threw her head back in pleasure, a second hand joining to tangle into Regina's silky hair.

The sound of Emma's cries spurred the brunette on and she darted her tongue in and out of those wet folds. She buried her head deeper between Emma's legs, her tongue twisting inside and sucking up everything that Emma was giving her. Emma's hips bucked with pleasure at every swipe that Regina's tongue made and it wasn't long before she was met with an intense orgasm, Regina lapping up all evidence of Emma's desire.

"Fuck." Emma gasped, her breathing sporadic as Regina slowly made her way back up the bed with a proud smirk on her face. Emma flipped herself on top of the Mayor and enveloped her lips with hers, the taste of herself on the brunette's lips causing her to get wet all over again.

Regina ran her hands over Emma's breasts once again, her tongue massaging against Emma's rhythmically. She tweaked the nipples and let out a hungry groan when Emma pulled away from her, her teeth clinging onto pink lips hopefully.

"You don't always have to be in charge, Madam Mayor." Emma drawled, catching Regina's hands with her own and placing them above her head. "It's my turn now." Emma lowered her head to Regina's chest and rolled her tongue around her hard nipple, sucking sensually until the brunette gave in to her more submissive role. Emma rubbed her thumb over Regina's clit and smiled as she saw the other woman close her eyes and lose herself in the moment. When she was satisfied with how wet Regina was she pushed her fingers between her opening and explored between her legs, her fingers curling inside of her. Emma bit down on the brunette's nipple all the while thrusting her fingers in and out of Regina's warmth. "Say my name, Regina." Emma's voice vibrated into Regina's chest, she could feel the muscles tightening around her fingers and she knew it wouldn't be long before the woman would lose all control.

Regina gasped helplessly, her hands tangled into the bed sheets gripping tightly with every fibre of her being. "Emma!" She panted breathlessly as she felt the waves of pleasure pour out of her and all over the blonde. "Emma." She exhaled again, as her grip on the bedsheets loosened and she relaxed her body against the bed.

Emma smiled as the sound of her name echoed around her and was sure to suck her fingers dry of any remnants that the Mayor had left on her. She crawled sluggishly back up to the head of the bed and lay beside Regina, propping her head up on her forearm and continuing to watch as the Mayor slowly began to return to her usual intelligible state. "So, do you always start off the New Year with a bang?"

"You had to ruin it didn't you?" Regina spoke as seriously as she could but couldn't hide the impending grin from appearing on her face.

Emma chuckled, looking entirely too pleased with herself. "I've made your year already and you know it." She smirked at a seemingly displeased Regina.

"You should be going." Regina responded defiantly with only a hint of softness in her words. She sat up in the bed and pulled the sheet over her body as Emma lazily slipped off of the bed and reclaimed her clothes from Regina's bedroom floor. She dressed herself quickly, suddenly feeling exposed in front of the brunette. "And Miss Swan. This never happened, okay?"

Emma looked over her shoulder once she was fully clothed and gave the brunette a smile. The Regina that she loved to hate was definitely back. "I wouldn't have it any other way, Madam Mayor." She flipped her hair over her shoulder as she exited the room, stopping at the door before turning back to Regina. "I'll be picking Henry up from school tomorrow; I'm taking him out for pizza. I'll see you tomorrow, Regina." Yes, the old Regina seemed to be back already but Emma was certainly going to make it difficult for her to forget about what had happened even if she couldn't mention it directly.
