They kept to safe topics, Regina’s love of horses, Emma’s love of her precious Bug. The meal was perfection but Emma was quick to tell Regina that it wasn’t even half as good as Regina’s cooking which made Regina sit up a little straighter with pride. Regina admitted, eventually, that Emma didn’t snore and that she simple wanted to leave the bed because she was anxious to speak to Henry.

A bottle of wine was quickly demolished and the second was already half finished as the eaten main course plates were removed by the waiter. Once they were alone Regina quietly whispered Emma’s name and the blonde looked at her quizzically.

“I’m.. new.. to this dating business,” Regina said quietly so only Emma could hear.

“Yes?” Emma asked with slight concern, wondering if she was doing something wrong.

“And I’m wondering,” Regina’s voice dropped an octave lower, “how many dates is appropriate before taking things to the bedroom?”

Emma flushed bright red with embarrassment and desire, “oh, well, erm..” she stuttered adorably.

“Obviously it’s an odd situation for us,” Regina said, enjoying Emma’s panic, “as we’re already living together.”

“Yes,” Emma admitted readily.

“But, if you’re happy to forego dessert,” Regina licked her lips as she gently swayed the wine glass in her hand, “then..”

“Yes,” Emma squeaked before Regina had a chance to finish the sentence. She stood up and then sat down and looked around for the waiter and he came running to see if everything was okay.

“Can we pay?” Emma said quickly, “soon?”

“Of course,” he said and rushed off to get the bill.

“Keen,” Regina teased.

“Desperate,” Emma admitted quietly, “if I don’t touch you soon I’m going to burst.”

Regina blushed and Emma swiftly asked, “i-if that’s okay? I mean you do want to? It’s not the wine is it?”

The waiter placed the bill on a small silver tray on the table and Emma opened her purse and pulled out a handful of notes as she watched Regina’s face for any clues.

“Yes, more than okay,” Regina answered, “it’s not the wine,” she reassured.

Emma realised she was paying three times too much for the meal and started to look at what she was doing as Regina raised her hand and called the waiter over again and asked him to get them a taxi.

The bill and the money was taken and they sat in silence, nervously sipping at the wine while they waited for the taxi to arrive. Emma looked distressed and Regina leaned forward, “we don’t have to do this if you’re not ready?”

“Oh, I’m ready,” Emma promised, “I’m just wondering what will go wrong now! There’s always an interruption, it’s like someone is messing with us!”

Regina laughed, “don’t be silly, it will be fine..”

The waiter told them that their taxi had arrived and they gather their coats and bags and left to go on the quickest taxi journey Emma had ever been on. Literally three minutes later they were back at the house but Emma knew those three minutes by car would have been impossible on her feet, especially in heels.

Regina paid the driver and the walked up the path, both attempting to seem casual as Regina unlocked the door with a slightly shaky hand. The second they were in the hallway Emma kicked off her heels and hung up her coat and reached out for Regina’s.

“My room or yours?” Emma waggled her eyebrows.

Regina let out a small chuckle as she shook her head, “mine,” she said and pulled Emma into a heated kiss. Their tongues clashed and Emma pulled Regina close to her and luxuriated in the feeling of Regina’s body pressed up against her own.

Emma pulled away, “we need to get up there now or we’ll be doing it here,” she promised.

Regina took her hand and led her to the stairs and walked slowly by her side as they headed up the stairs. Emma had insisted on leaving the crutch at home and while Regina thought it was foolish she knew it was important to Emma so she agreed on the provision that the blonde wore very short heels and took everything slowly.

It took a long time to get to the top of the stairs and Emma looked at Regina with a shy smile, “still want me?”

“More than anything,” Regina said softly as she took Emma’s hand again and led her into the master bedroom.

They both eyed the bed nervously as previous worries resurfaced and they both felt the pressure of the situation grow.

“Fuck it,” Emma muttered as she grabbed Regina’s face and pulled her in for a deep kiss. Regina’s eyes flew wide open at the passion in the kiss and the surprise of Emma grabbing her so suddenly. She quickly caught up and before long they were both sharing fast, open-mouthed kisses as they ran their hands over each other’s bodies.

Emma pulled back, “too many clothes,” she mumbled as she sat Regina on the edge of the bed and pulled her heels off. It was then that she noticed Regina was wearing stockings and suspenders and she felt her clit twitch at the image.

“May I?” Emma asked as she started to move Regina dress up and Regina bit her bottom lip as she nodded.
