And Then There Was You

VIII. A Sudden Surprise

The wait is over! 😜

[Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from ABC's hit show, ONCE UPON A TIME.]

Or else what?

Or else, I'll kiss you...

The word "kiss" holds a myriad of possibilities, each scenario playing out differently depending on the context. It evokes feelings of puppy love, causing cheeks to flush as one steals a kiss from the other. For those deeply in love, it reaffirms their bond, creating a sense of invincibility. Even for the elderly, who have weathered life's storms together, it offers reassurance and comfort, a testament to their enduring love. It's a verb that carries varied emotions, reflecting the unique connection between two souls. So what happens when two individuals, who haven't yet confessed their true feelings, speak the word? Perhaps, it serves as a catalyst, a declaration of their unspoken intentions.

Regina's eyes shimmer, reminiscent of the northern star that shines brightly amidst a darkened sky. A pregnant pause hangs in the air as the two women lock eyes, neither daring to make the first move. Finally, Regina summons the courage to speak, hoping her words will coax Emma into lowering her defenses. "I'll take you up on that offer."

Regina's inviting smile sends a shiver down Emma's spine. Her half-closed eyes beckon Emma closer, causing her to take a deep breath to steady herself. Swallowing the lump in her throat proves difficult, the anticipation thick in the air. The two women lock gazes, desire, and hunger mingling with sophistication and allure. As Regina's seductive smile deepens, Emma can no longer contain her longing. "I must have her," echoes in Emma's mind as she resolves to make her move.

Closing the distance between them, Emma's fingers thread through Regina's hair, lightly grazing the back of her head. A soft moan escapes Regina's lips, her vulnerability exposed. Emma, emboldened by Regina's response, presses their lips together, warmth and softness melding with a tantalizing hint of wetness. Regina responds with fervor, encouraging Emma to match her intensity. Emma, now on her knees, takes control, fulfilling Regina's unspoken desires. As their tongues intertwine, the taste of sweetness lingers from the jam they shared earlier.

Regina's hands roam eagerly, finding solace in the tender touch of Emma's bosom.

As the moment lingers, Emma pulls away, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Regina exhales, mirroring her counterpart's need for oxygen. Despite the intimacy, Regina's hands linger on Emma's breasts, a touch that elicits a blush on Emma's already crimson cheeks.

"They're small," Emma remarks, her voice barely above a whisper.

"They're perfect," Regina whispers, her voice barely audible but laced with sincerity and awe.

Regina graces Emma with her most enchanting smile, a subtle curve that dances in the air. Emma, unable to resist, nibbles on her lower lip, momentarily drawn to the mesmerizing sight of her partner's sculpted décolletage before meeting Regina's gaze once more. Regina's hands, still cradling Emma's ample bosom, gently squeezing, eliciting a shared moment of mirth between the two. They exchange glances, their laughter intertwining in the air. Just as Emma's cheeks begin to tint with a familiar blush, the tranquility is shattered as the door bursts open, admitting a young boy into the room.

"Mom! Mom, look! I got the high score!" The young boy, perhaps a tad younger than Neal, exclaims, thrusting the handheld gaming system into the air with unbridled excitement.

Regina swiftly withdraws her hands from Emma's bosom, uttering a quick "Oh, shit." while Emma mirrors her movement by transitioning from a kneeling position to sitting on her hands. She averts her gaze, hoping against hope that if she doesn't acknowledge the approaching boy, she might escape unnoticed. With a forced smile plastered on her face, Regina greets the boy, as if attempting to conceal the awkward incident that just occurred.
