Trigger Warnings: Smut...

1 Week Later:

Morrigan walks her beige stallion into the stables, sliding from its back and ties the reins outside one of the stalls. One of the stable hands smiles and nods at her which she hesitantly returns, ever since my blowup last week Ive been reluctant to be out in public. It had been Regina's idea to come to the stables and go riding and I'm happy to say its done wonders. I feel a lot better now that I'm out of the house and back doing what I love..She picks up a box of brushes and lays it at her feet, reaching in to grab a comb, Its strange, Regina had mentioned several times that the Charming clan had been asking about me. For them it seems as if nothings happened, that I hadn't just nearly killed the lot of them. I cant help taking it as pity but hey, I'll take their pity if it means the town doesn't hate me again..After finishing the horses mane, she removes its tack and ushers it into its stall. She relaxes against the door, watching as the beast eats a pile of hay in the corner, peace..

"Morrigan?"

She startles, spinning towards Ruby whose hesitantly waiting by the doors, peace my ass!..Quickly Morrigan gathers the box of brushes and attempts to flee.

"Morrigan wait!"

Ruby rushes in front of the retreating woman, watching as grim green eyes avoid her.."I just came to ask if you wanted to go for lunch? Well late lunch really. No one knows I'm here so it'll just be us girls. I know you don't like Granny's so how about we go to the Charthouse restaurant, they do great steak there."

Ruby's smiling enthusiasm knocks Morrigan a little and she frowns.."I don't understand, why are you even talking to me after I tried to kill you?"

Ruby takes the box of brushes and places them on a bail of straw.."Kill shmill, you've tried to kill me plenty of times. What's a little attempted murder between friends."

"Friends? You think we're friends?"

Ruby looks into emotional green eyes and smiles genuinely.."Yep! So lets go, I'm starved."

"Wait.." The brunette pauses.."I cant go looking like this." They both look down at her riding gear and when Morrigan glances up, she notes the younger woman's eyes roaming her body for a second longer.

"I doubt anyone will say anything, but I must admit the whole leather boots and riding crop screams bad ass dominatrix."

Morrigan clears her throat awkwardly, a slight flush on her cheeks.."Well your certainly up front aren't you."

"That's me, so lets go."

Morrigan raises an curious eyebrow, following the lively brunette hesitantly..

Morrigan shifts awkwardly in her seat, eyes avoiding everything but the place mat in front of her, I'm glad we sat near the back window, too many people further in but it still doesn't stop the stares and whispers being tossed my way..She sighs, This was a bad idea..Ruby saunters towards her with two bottles of root beer.

"I thought you could use one of these. Oh and I took the pleasure of ordering for you, don't worry your gonna love it."

Morrigan stares skeptically at a bubbly Ruby, why is she so happy?..

"What's going on?"

Ruby frowns.."What do you mean? We're having lunch."

"No your having lunch with your attempted murderer. What's the catch? Is Swan going to jump out and arrest me? Is a mob going to burst through the door and lynch me?!"

Ruby's mouth hangs open.."Of course not, there's no hidden motive behind us having lunch I swear. I just know how it feels to harm the people you care about. And it only makes it worse being alone."

Morrigan bites her cheek.."You know nothing.."

"I know because unlike you, I succeeded in killing my love.." Wide green eyes dart to the remorseful brunette.."The wolf killed him. I could never remember my transformations and in the beginning, I didn't even know I was part wolf. After what happened I ran and isolated myself, convinced myself that if I let anyone in again, they'd end up just like Peter.." She lays her hand on top of Morrigans.."But after a while I found people who accepted me for who and what I am. They helped me control the beast and sure, it wasn't an easy road but I finally found my family because I let people in. Don't beat yourself up Morrigan. No matter what you tell yourself, it wasn't your fault."

Morrigan blinks back the tears, feeling the woman's hand squeeze hers lightly and she smiles weakly.."Thank You."

"Anytime.."

A waitress hesitantly approaches with their order and Morrigan pulls her hand away from Ruby's touch. Green eyes widen at the large steak placed in front of her, Jesus Christ! There's a full cow on my plate..Ruby chuckles and squirts a heavy amount of barbecue sauce on her steak.

"Want any sauce?"

"Want any steak with your sauce?"

Ruby laughs aloud and a broad smile graces Morrigans lips, so this is what dinner with a friend feels like..

Morrigan wobbles out of the restaurant with Ruby in tow, fuck me that was a lot of meat. I don't think Ive eaten that much in my entire life..She looks down at her bloated stomach, damn, Ive got a major food baby..

"Well what do you think? Best steak ever right?"

"It was defiantly something, but alas, nothing compares to Regina's cooking." Morrigan leans on the wall, a hand resting on her swollen stomach.

"I bet it isn't."

Morrigan arches an eyebrow at Ruby's tone and cheeky smile.."I'm not just saying that because we're together."

"No no, of course your not."

Green eyes roll as Morrigan pushes herself off the wall.."Thank You for lunch little pup, I should be returning to the stables before.."

"Regina finds out your missing?"

"No before..before the late feed..for the horses."

"Uh huh."

Morrigan purses her lips at the grinning woman, nosy little wolf..

"Good day Miss Lucas."

Ruby rolls her eyes.."Its just Ruby."

Morrigan smiles genuinely.."See you later, Ruby." Without warning, shes pulled into a tight hug, Ruby's hands wrapping around her lower waist and back. Immediately she stiffens at the foreign touch and the brunette chuckles.

"Its called a hug Morrigan."

Slowly she lets her body relax, okay, a hug between friends, that's okay right?..She gently wraps her arms around Ruby's petite frame feeling the limbs around her tighten, okay, this is kinda nice..The hand on her lower waist unknowingly dips, almost cupping her backside and she freezes.

"Eh, Ruby?"

Suddenly a screech of tires breaks her from her musings. Both woman turn to watch the mayors black Mercedes come to a screeching stop in the middle of the main road, well fuck me..Wide green eyes watch as Regina steps from her car, slamming the door harshly and briskly walking through traffic towards them.

Ruby looks at Morrigan with equally wide eyes as they quickly untangle themselves from the hug. Morrigan walks towards her furious lover, hands held out peacefully.

"Hey, I was just having late lunch and.."

She's cut off by a harsh slap to the face. She hears Ruby gasp as her hand quickly snaps up to the hot and stinging skin, what the fuck!..Her shock masks all other emotion as wrathful dark brown eyes burn into her. Suddenly there's a hand clamped harshly on her wrist and shes being dragged back to the black Mercedes.

Morrigan flinches as a truck almost rams into them but is quickly forced into the passenger seat. Regina roughly plonks into the drivers seat, ignoring the beeping of the vehicles behind and speeds away from the restaurant. Green eyes refocus on the furious woman and Morrigan shivers, I'm in serious trouble..

Regina tosses Morrigan into the mansion, slamming the door harshly behind them.

Morrigan stumbles and catches herself before she trips over the foyer steps.."Regina! What the fuck?!"

The fiery mayor whirls, red lips pressed together in a grimace.."Just imagine how surprised I was to be told that my girlfriend has gone to dinner with another woman!"

Girlfriend?..Morrigan takes a cautious step back from the prowling mayor.."It was only.."

"And then when I drop by to make sure said girlfriend is okay, I find her flirting and laughing with that cheap tramp of a waitress, practically letting the slut run filthy paws up and down her body!"

"It was a hug Regina, that's it.."

"A hug?! So the groping and doey eyes in the restaurant was just a figment of my imagination?!"

"Yes! Wait, you were spying on me?! How long were you there?!"

"Why?! Have something else to confess?!"

"You've got to be fucking joking!" Morrigan runs an angry hand through her hair.."Regina nothing happened! Ruby and I.."

"Oh so its Ruby now is it?!"

Morrigan waves her hands in frustration.."Jesus Christ! I cant talk to you when your like this!" She quickly moves towards the study door only to have it slammed in her face. Her anger rises and she whirls.."Don't you start this bullshit again Regina! I cant talk to you when your like this, so when you've calmed down and actually thought things through, come and find me!"

Morrigan makes a B-Line for the kitchen only for a plume of purple smoke to appear in front of her. She huffs in Regina's face, spinning and storming off into the living room, If I have to walk away from her at every turn then I fucking will!..Suddenly a rough hand wraps around her arm, forcing her backwards into the living room wall. Her back bounces off brick with hands gripping her wrists harshly and pinning them at either side of her head. She snarls into purple eyes, attempting to pull from the woman's grasp.

"Do I not satisfy you anymore?! Does that mongrel mutt touch you better than I?!"

You want to play this shit?! Fine!..Morrigan grins and Regina grits her teeth.."Looks like someones getting a little too jealous Madam Mayor!" She spits the woman's title and Regina's expression quickly twists into a cruel smile.

"Oh no my Pet! I'm just making sure you know who you belong to!"

Green eyes burn.."WHAT?!"

Regina chuckles darkly, pushing herself against the woman. Morrigan bucks, attempting to push the mayor off but is forced back into the wall with magic.

"You want to play games? Here's one you'll remember, you get down on your knees and beg at your Queens feet!"

Morrigan growls as the woman rubs against her roughly and slowly forces a steady flow of magic into her, No! Not this time!..She pushes off the wall making purple eyes look at her directly.

"You want to play your majesty?! Fine! But why don't you make it fair for once?!" Green eyes glance at the bracelet around her wrist and the Queen raises a curious eyebrow.

"Hmm...no, I think I like you the way you are.." Regina scrapes red lips against her lovers ear.."Helpless and completely at my mercy." She chuckles darkly and green eyes blaze.

"Just what I thought! Cant face me properly! Cant handle all of me can you my Queen! Perhaps Ruby could.." Regina growls in her ear and she smiles wickedly.."Perhaps my little puppy wouldn't be so scared to let the inner me out to play.." She chuckles as furious purple eyes refocus on her.

In one swift motion, the bracelet is pried off her wrist and thrown across the living room. Morrigan wastes no time in pulling from Regina's grip and spinning her. She grabs Regina's flailing arms, pinning them against the woman's pantsuit and squeezing harshly, time for a little game changer Regina!..She feels the woman struggle, snarling in contempt as her cheek presses into the side of raven hair and she chuckles at Regina's failed attempts to get free.

"I think its about time we changed the game, Regina.."

The Queen growls again, bucking wildly to get her arms free.."You will release me at once!"

"Oh will I?"..Morrigan licks up Regina's neck and jawline getting a groaned response.."You see tonight your not in charge, tonight, your Mine!" She clamps her teeth onto the woman's neck, biting hard enough to break skin.

Regina cries out, pushing her head against Morrigans shoulder, but when a hand roughly squeezes her breast, she growls, quickly shoving against the body behind. Both women bump into the wall, the teeth and hold around her slackening and Regina quickly tares her arms from the younger woman's grasp, quickly throwing Morrigan across the room with magic.

Morrigan lands roughly on the sofa, the furniture tipping backwards with the force as she lands heavily on the cream carpet. Her eyes flicker a shimmering red and she launches to her feet, scanning the room for her absent Queen, where the fuck?!..She feels a breeze behind and immediately spins, just managing to grab the feisty Queens wrists. They both struggle, purple sparks spitting from Regina's hands and shattering several ornaments on the fireplace. Morrigan tugs the woman flush against her front and quickly seals their lips. She can feel Regina's resistance and pushes a dominant tongue into her lovers mouth. Soon, teeth clamp down on Morrigans tongue and she flinches back with a hiss.

Regina wrenches a hand free and throws herself on top of the woman. They both stumble over the capsized sofa, landing roughly in a pile of flailing limbs before Regina climbs on top of Morrigans back, pinning one of her arms and grabbing a fist full of ebony hair. She yanks her lovers head up from the carpet.."You forget who I am! Who I used to be!"

Morrigan snarls, struggling in Regina's painful grip.."And it seems you forget who I used to be!" She quickly reaches back and grabs a mass of raven hair, pulling the screeching woman forward so Regina tumbles onto her back. Quickly Morrigan pounces on the recovering Queen, straddling her waist and locking their hands together. She can feel Regina's magic pulsing through her palms, attempting to escape but with a struggle, she manages to push it back down successfully. The older woman snarls, trying to buck her off.

"So what now?! You just going to sit on me all night?!"

Morrigan grins, leaning towards red lips.."Mmmm no, I think its time her majesty is punished for a change."

"Oh so now I'm your prisoner? What a delicious turn of events my dear." Regina arches a seductive eyebrow, biting her lower lip.

Morrigan can see the woman's futile attempt to regain control and grins, leaning a little closer to red lips.."Oh no, your not going to win this one, Regina." She chuckles darkly, watching controlling purple eyes flare with anger, red lips curling into a grimace, oh yes this is definitely a victory..

"I think we should take this somewhere a little more private. You've been quite rude and there's a lot you need to be punished for." Flickering red eyes slide around her lovers angry features gleefully.

"Do your worst bandit!"

"Oh I shall." Morrigan chuckles and they both disappear in a swirl of burgundy smoke...
