Emma Swan had been the personal assistant to Regina Mills for five years and in love with her nearly the entire time. What happens when she decides enough is enough and plans to reveal her secret. AU. Rated M for later chapters.

She should have left hours ago, as soon as the brunette was otherwise occupied, but here she sat. She was playing with fire and for the first time in a very long time Maura wanted to get burned.
