The Secret My Vault Keeps

The Council Meeting

I frowned as I received a text from Regina telling me to meet up with her urgently. I grabbed my leather jacket and went over to 108 Mifflin street as fast as I could. Before I could even knock on the door, it opened and I was pulled inside by a frazzled looking Mayor.
"Wow, Regina, what the hell is going on?" I asked and looked at the woman who looked a little worse for wear compared to her normally regal composure.
"Did you tell anyone?"
"Tell anyone what?" I frowned and she shook me by the shoulders.
"About us..."
"Regina, what is going on? You're being weird." I grabbed her by the shoulders and looked into her eyes, trying to figure out what was going on with the gorgeous brunette.
"Henry... He..." Regina started and I cocked an eyebrow.
"What about the kid? Did he run off again?... I swear I'm going to put a tracker on that kid."
"No, he didn't run off." The mayor said and bit her lip before slowly speaking. "He knows... About us."

It was silent for a while before I just chuckled.
"Why am I not surprised."
"Miss Swan! This is a serious matter... Our son knows!"
"Well, if anything he has a right to know that his moms are..."
"Together? Are we though?" The brunette looked at me and I frowned.

"Actually, I'm not sure where we stand in all this." I said honestly and Regina's gaze was cast down to the floor. I moved a little closer to the woman and carefully put my hands on her hips. "Are we... Together?" I asked carefully. Regina slowly looked up at me with a vulnerability in her eyes. She didn't need words since her eyes told me everything I needed to know. I smiled gently at her and slowly leaned in, kissing her softly on the lips while wrapping my arms around her waist. The brunette curled her fingers into my leather jacket and held onto me tightly as we kissed like that. I could tell her hands were trembling and she slowly pulled back from the kiss. I still held her around her waist, slowly feeling her melt into my embrace as she lay her head on my shoulder. I rubbed her back gently and smiled.
"Perhaps we should tell Henry properly." I said softly and kissed the shell of her ear. I felt her wrap her arms around me.
"Will you still enjoy it... Even if we're no longer a secret?" I heard her ask me softly. I pulled back slowly and made her look into my eyes, cupping her cheek.
"I will probably enjoy it even more when we're no longer a secret." I smiled and looked deeply into her eyes. The woman was silent for a while.
"But why?"
"Because we'd officially be together." I chuckled softly and rested my forehead against the woman's. She chuckled softly.
"What makes you think that... Miss Swan."
"Because... Judging by the way you're holding onto me, you don't want to let me go either." Regina's fingers curled into the back of my coat as I said it. I studied the woman's face as hers was so close to mine. I smiled as I saw her smile, her eyes closed while she slowly leaned in. I met her halfway, kissing her softly once more.

"I hate it when you're right..." She giggled softly and punched my chest lightly. I just slid my hand through her hair and pulled it lightly, making her tilt her head back.
"You don't seem to be hating it that much." I said and slowly guided her to the stairs. She slowly moved backwards and let me guide her up.
"What do you think you are doing Miss Swan?" She asked with a slight smirk and I tilted my head.
"Well... Normally when I get a text message from you, you have other things in mind." I grinned a little and the woman cocked an eyebrow.
"Don't get cocky with me... Emma." She whispered yet turned around and went up the stairs, looking over her shoulder down at me. "But you better make up for getting me all worried." I said and wriggled my eyebrows a little. The woman fake gasped and shook her head.
"Make up for it?" She frowned and bit her lip. "I was worried out of my mind and you are suggesting I should sleep with you because I made you worry." She said exasperated, but it was her playful smirk that told me she was playing around.

"Perhaps you want me to seduce you then..." I said softly and pulled her along into the bedroom, resuming our original course. Regina shrugged apathetically and leaned against the door, looking up at me coyly. I shook my head and smirked a little at her behaviour. I knew exactly what she was playing at. I slowly pressed her up against the door using my own body. I slid my hands over her sides and slowly wrapped my arms around her waist. She wrapped her arms around my neck and let her head fall back, making a soft thud against the door. She looked into my eyes and I cupped her cheek before leaning in and kissing her deeply. She melted into the kiss instantly and purred softly, her hands instantly finding their way into my golden curls, grasping at them. I held her closer and kissed her a little deeper while slowly pulling her away from the door. I felt her press her body closer to mine at the same time and pulled back only slightly.
"I thought you'd enjoy the door." She purred over my lips and I groaned softly before quickly throwing her on the bed and crawling over her with a predatory gaze. She tried to sit up but I immediately pushed her back down onto her back and kissed her deeply, claiming her lips and grabbing her wrists, pinning them to the mattress to keep her in place.
"I prefer the bed." I said in a low voice and kissed down her neck, slowly moving to nip and lick the skin only to bite it a moment later, marking her as mine, officially. Regina moaned hotly and arched into the bite  while grabbing my hair and pulling it a little.
"Yes~" She hissed and I could tell a shiver went down her spine as she squirmed under me from the pleasure. I released one of her wrists and slid my hand down her body, shoving it under her blouse and forcefully shoving the fabric up along with it. The woman gasped and looked at me. "Careful!" She said and I smirked while groping her chest a little roughly. She arched into the touch and bit her lip, a soft groan still being released despite her best attempt to silence it. She didn't care about the blouse...
