Chapter 5
When the smoke cleared, my arms were still wrapped tightly around Regina. We both lifted our heads. Nothing around us had changed. But I could feel it- the power surging in the air, and I could almost see it seeping into Regina's pores as she inhaled deeply.
She's safe.
I kissed her fiercely. Regina let out a surprised gasp, but kissed me back willingly. I let my lips wander over her face and neck, caressing inch after inch after inch.
"There's magic now," Regina whispered. "Can you feel it?"
"Yes, sweetheart," I breathed into the skin of her collarbone.
"With magic, I can get my son back. You know the Charmings won't just hand him over to me," her jaw tightened under my lips.
"He'll be yours, even if I have to use my magic," I assured her.
She laughed in disbelief. "You really think you're that powerful?'
"I know it," I said matter-of-factly, leaning back, not taking my hands off her.
"This power…" I could practically hear the gears in her beautiful mind turning as she eyed me warily. "Comes from your parents? Who are they?"
I sighed heavily, and lowered my eyes. I traced the edge of her skirt with my fingertip. "My parents…" I sighed again. "My mother is the goodest of the good. But she was tricked, by the worst of the worst. She had me in secret. And though, out of curiosity, she watched over me with her magic, as a fairy she couldn't have a daughter. Certainly not one with a father like mine."
"I have all the fairies here," she set a hand on my face but I kept my eyes lowered. "Which one was it?" But, she already knew.
"Blue," I whispered.
She laughed. "The goodest of the good! Bringing aid to the people of the enchanted first everywhere! But she's an awful mother." I too giggled at the irony.
"And your father?" she asked after a moment of silence. "It's the Dark One, isn't it?"
I shook my head. "I wish. Unfortunately, though, it's even worse,"
She used her hand to tilt my face up and I met her eyes. "I'm not gonna probe you anymore today. I can see how hesitant you are," she touched her forehead to mine and I exhaled in relief.
"No one is going to hurt you," I whispered. "And, one way or another, Henry will stay a part of your life."
She sighed and her shoulders relaxed. I ran my nose from where it touched hers down her face and neck. Her head tilted backward and her shoulders slumped. With a smile, I lowered her down onto the bed and let the tip of my nose continue to trace her collarbone.
I breathed in her delicious scent and unbuttoned her silk blouse. I gazed upon her gorgeous body, the goosebumps forming on her delicate skin. So delicate, but still hungrily absorbing magic from the air around us. And I could feel it too. My previously dulled magic was fiercely gaining strength, and my first instinct was to test it.
"I remember those ostentatious dresses Queen Regina wore. To every ball, every appearance, every occasion was a breathtaking display of wealth, fashion, power..." I whispered as I tested the air. The flavor of the magic on my tongue, the sizzling coming from every nerve ending on my body. Could I reign it in?
"Yes, my wardrobe has taken... quite the turn..." Regina whispered breathlessly as I pictured it. The shift. Saw the dress I had seen her in years ago in my memory, pictured it on her body now.
Regina gasped. I blinked twice and when the smoke cleared, there it was. The blue velvet dress I had admired on her. Black lace going down her sides, exposing the skin of her thighs, and a deep plunging V giving me a breathtaking view of the sides of her breasts.
"I remember this dress," she whispered and looked up at me for an explanation.
"I saw you in this dress, years ago. I was at a ball for one princess or another's birthday."
"You did, hm? I wore this at a ball for a princess. Such a scandal surrounded her name my curiosity grew too great." she smirked.
I remembered the rumors. Of the princess taking a female lover. Oh, how that poor girl was locked away. What the king didn't know was that I could transport myself directly into her bedchambers.
"Yes, I knew all about that," I chuckled. "But I also remember seeing this dress worn at the party and asking a friend who was wearing it. And they said to stay far away, because it was King Leopold's new wife, Regina."
"You knew ALL about that, huh?" Regina sounded guarded.
I laughed. "That was years ago, darling." I kissed her deeply. "You have my heart. But let's just say, the rumors were true."
She threw her head back to laugh and I got to appreciate the plunging neckline even more. Black smoke curled around her again, and this time, when it disappeared, she was naked.
"Wait, no!" she exclaimed. "I love that dress!"
"Don't worry, it's in your closet." I whispered, then let my hands roam eagerly over her body, ready to please.
"Maddie..." she whispered and sighed, then gave in.
My lips hungrily devoured her skin, my tongue lapped up the taste. My lips closed around one hardened nipple and sucked gently. But I was getting impatient. More ravenous. I sucked harder, and upon her request, I bit down. Hard.
A pounding at the door interrupted my devious plans.
"Shit," Regina groaned.
More black smoke, then Regina was clothed again.
"I'll get it," she sighed and got up.
"I'll go with you," I stood up and my arm wrapped protectively around her waist.
She rolled her eyes but didn't protest further. The banging continued until she opened the door.
I was instantly on alert. Seemingly half the population of Storybrooke was at my doorstep. I pulled magic from the air around me, focusing. I hadn't fought in over a century. But, as more memories were flooding my brain, perhaps I did...
"Well, here she is," Regina thrust her arms forward. Nothing. When the crowd began to descend on her I was still a bit woozy. Too many memories, all at once. A trip to the enchanted forest, purple smoke curling around me, and my father's voice, taking me home...
But Whale's hand was around Regina's throat. I snapped out of it, and a small blast knocked him off of her.
"Stop!" Emma cried and rushed through the crowd.
Whale was stuck in a bush but I didn't care. My arms wound around Regina's waist and my lips went to her temple for a quick kiss.
"For her safety, and more importantly, for ours," Regina was to be locked up in the Sherrif's station. How disgusting. I rolled my eyes, and as David took her by the arms I walked beside Mary Margaret.
"Is this really necessary?" I growled, keeping Regina out of earshot but still visible. If he held her wrists too tight I swear...
"It totally is," she whispered back to me. "She's lucky she's not dead by now."
"But why not just have me contain her?" I argued.
"Contain her?" she scoffed. "Listen, I don't think you understand what you're dealing with. The magic, the power-"
"The dark one," I pointed out, and she stopped short.
"How-"
"I spent my fair share of time in the enchanted forest," I explained curtly. "And trust me, I have magic of my own." a ball of fire rested on my upturned palm.
I leaned forward to her still frame and whispered in her ear, "I can kill you all right now if you give me a reason to. But I'm not like that, so I haven't. Yet. If any harm comes to Regina, be that a bruise on her wrist, a cut, god help you all if she dies..." I extinguished the flames and ran my finger down her neck, "You will all be punished. So keep her in her little cage but I will be protecting her."
I walked briskly to catch up to Regina who was putting up a fuss. I set my hand on the small of her back and whispered in her ear, "It's going to be okay, darling. I promise."
She sighed. "I can't believe I'm being belittled by the Charmings,"
"Hang in there, baby," I kissed her cheek.
We kept walking till we reached the Sherrif's station and Regina was locked in a cell of her own. But, to our frustration, we weren't left alone. A dwarf was left to guard her and we awkwardly sat, I stroked her cheek through the bars.
"Your mother is probably looking for you," Regina said casually.
"My mother has never been looking for me. Not for the centuries that I have been alive," I let my hand fall and played with my fingers.
"I can't really talk, I killed my mother," Regina mused. My head snapped up and I stared at her in disbelief. "Well, I had her killed, it's a long story." She looked away from my gaze.
"My point is," she whispered. "I'm not justifying your mother's actions but if mine were still here, I'd erase the distance."
I sighed again. I didn't think anything would come of it, and I didn't think it would undo the damage she did to herself and her mother, but I wouldn't tell her no.
I stood up and reached out to her. Our foreheads touched between the bars. "For you, my darling, I will," I whispered.
I kissed her softly, and she kissed me back willingly. I kissed her back harder, forgetting about our audience. I bit her bottom lip, and a little whimper escaped her mouth. I let my tongue dive into her mouth and she met mine eagerly with a moan; she must have forgotten our audience, too. I yanked her hips closer to mine and reached backward to squeeze her ass. I remembered our audience. I didn't care. This insignificant little dwarf could watch me fuck Queen Regina to a frenzy.
The dwarf cleared his throat, and I was prepared for Regina to pull away. But with the way she was sucking on my tongue and pulling at my hips, she either was oblivious or didn't care if he watched either. One of my hands snaked to the bottom of her dress, pulled up the hem, and snaked its way to that soaking wet treasure I was looking for.
Time to surprise her, I thought as I massaged her pussy. Her moans continued and I could hear heavy breathing behind me. The breathing was surprisingly steady and even, so I assumed it was sleep. I pictured the tool I wanted, then pulled my hand away from her delicious flower. With a little bit of magic, a huge black dildo filled my hand. And with a little more magic, I was on the other side of the bars, handcuffs in hand.
"Maddie, what-"
"Shhhh," I soothed, and secured her hands and wrists to the bars. "You're going to love this, I promise."
"Mmmmm" she rested her hand against the bars behind her, and when the black smoke uncurled from her body, she was splendidly naked.
I lowered my hand and quickly felt her pussy. Not quite wet enough, so I went back to kissing her while one hand tugged on her right nipple. My other hand took the dildo and rubbed it back and forth, grinding it on her little clit.
"Do you like that?" I teased. "Oh, Darling, I can't wait to worship you."
She moaned in response and I felt her delectable pussy once again while my mouth was closed around her left nipple. She was ready. I pushed the dildo into her delicate pussy with painstaking care, refusing to be anything but gentle.
She moaned loudly and I slowly started thrusting the dildo in and out of her pussy. God, I wanted to fuck her senseless. I wished I had a strap-on. Wait...
The dildo was gone and I was positioning a strap-on at her entrance.
"Stop," she whispered in a gasp. I stepped back and waved the handcuffs away, then waved her clothes back on. She swayed on her feet for a second while I disposed of the strap-on, then fell forward.
I caught her and pulled her to my chest. "it's okay, sweetie. I have you," I laid her down onto the cell bed and stroked her face while I sat on the floor to her side.
"I can't believe we just did that," she whispered after a moment. "Sleepy really does live up to his name."
I giggled. "That was crazy."
"And dangerous," she added. "go to the other side of the bars, until someone sees, we need to be more careful."
I changed sides, then held her hand. She sat up and I rubbed my thumb on the inside of her palm. She looked up at me.
"Regina, I love you so much," I whispered. "I'm right here, dangerous or not."
"Maddie, this is getting serious. Storybrooke has changed, and I'm in the enemy now," Her eyes lowered, no longer locked with mine. "If you continue to side with me, you'll become the enemy, too."
My heart cracked in half. "Do you think my love for you is that easy to dissolve? My faith in you that easy to break?" I reached through the bars and caressed her cheek. "Darling, this heart is yours. I don't need to worry about people liking me, trust me."
I smiled, and raised my hand. Black smoke engulfed me, eager to demonstrate my power again, and when it cleared I was on the other side of the bars. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her in close to whisper in her ear.
"You being in this cage is all a show. Play along a little longer, my darling. I will have you out soon enough."
