"There you are my dear, your hair is now perfect to withstand this hot, hot summer day!" Zelena smiles at the little girl sitting at the foot of her skirt. "Here, have a look."
She hands Grace the small hand mirror from her vanity, so she can look at what Zelena has done for her.
"They're beautiful! Thank you Zelena!" Grace smiles happily. "Now I can play and my hair won't be tangled. I love them."
Zelena nuzzles the top of her head as she momentarily snuggles into her. "You're welcome my sweet."
The hot, humid days of summer had been upon the enchanted forest for weeks now. Most days, Zelena took refuge under the shade of the porch, content to watch Grace play, and stealing kisses from Jefferson whenever she could.
"Grace! Grace are you home?!"
"That's Clara!" Grace squeals.
"Hello Darling!" Zelena calls, as the impossibly tiny blonde girl appears. She is out of breath as she races up to the porch.
"Grace! Mama and Papa are taking us to see the floating lights tonight! They said you can come!"
Grace's eyes went wide. "The floating lights? The ones that can be seen in all the realms?
Clara nodded, dancing from one foot to the other. "They told us this morning we can go,We'll stay the night, and be back tomorrow!"
Grace looks to Zelena. "Can I go? Please please please?"
"Now now, what's all this fuss and commotion about out here ladies?" Jefferson appears in the doorway a moment later. "How's a fellow supposed to get a single bit of work done?" he kids.
" Papa, Clara's mama and papa are taking her to see the floating lights tonight! And they asked me to come! Please, please can I go? We'll be back tomorrow morning!"
Grace hops up and down, tugging on Jefferson's waistcoat. "I'll just die if I don't get to see the floating lights!" She sighs dramatically, placing a hand to her brow.
Jefferson fights a smile at his child's antics, and glances at Zelena, who raises her eyebrows, as if to say "Let the child go!"
"Al…right" he says slowly. "But you're to stay with Clara and her mama and papa the whole time. I mean it, you're to listen and obey."
"Oh thank you, papa! Thank you!"
She hugs and kisses both him and Zelena in that moment, practically unable to keep both of her own feet on the ground.
"Have a good time darling!" Zelena smiles.
"Here". Jefferson digs around in his pocket, and procures a handful of coins. "Give this to Clara's mama, and remember your manners!"
"I will! I will! Byebye!" she chirps, as Clara drags her by the hand.
Jefferson chuckles. "Oh to be seven years old again."
"She was so excited, I'm glad she gets to go." Zelena smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Jefferson looks at her with a playful smile. "She'll be with them until… tomorrow…" he says, with a devilish and hungry tone to his voice.
"However shall we pass the time?" She wonders, dancing her fingers on his chest.
"I can think of a few ways."
"Oh can you now?" She brazenly steps forward and kisses him deeply in the next second. "Show me what you have in mind, Mr. Hatter." She murmurs playfully.
He can already begin to feel himself stiffening ever so slightly as he leads her by the hand back inside.
"We've waited far too long for this, Jefferson" She murmurs, as he guides her to the bed.
He is careful with her. He understands her fragility, and moves as slowly as he can.
He runs his fingers through her hair, and cups her breasts. He can feel her nipples stiffen immediately as he gently circles them with forefinger and thumb. He makes quick work of the buttons on her dress, and discards her bra moments later.
She smiles with satisfaction as he carefully toys with her, licking and sucking her nipples gently, gently gently. She also smiles inwardly as the warmth from her arousal spreads through her body, coming to rest between her legs. She is wet, and so very, very ready for this moment.
She tilts her head back and draws in a breath as he works his way down, his fingers roaming every inch of her body, slowly disrobing her, freeing her of each article of clothing piece by piece, until all that stands between them is a small scrap of moist fabric between her legs.
She let's out a small whimper as he continues to work his way down her body, kissing and caressing, and finally parting her thighs, and tugging down her panties, tossing them aside.
"Jefferson" she moans, leaning further back.
He smiles at her pleasure, and gently circles her with his tongue.
She cannot get enough. Her hands intertwined with his as he works ever so gently to bring her close to the edge. She was so unaccustomed to all of it.
She opens her eyes for a moment and gazes down at him, with a smile.
"Are you ready?" He asks.
She nods as he crawls back up toward her.
"Here." she murmurs. "Let me."
She makes quick work of the button on his pants and reaches down, gently cupping him in her hand.
She pushes him back, and takes him in her mouth a moment later. He closes his eyes and shakes his head at the exquisite pleasure rippling through his body.
He needs to be inside her. Now. He thinks to himself.
She smiles, and allows him to remove himself from her clutches before she can make him come.
He gently moves her to the head of the bed, and gazes into her blue eyes.
"You are exquisite" he breathes, his breath hot in her ear as she guides him toward her entrance.
"I need to feel you" she breathes, beads of sweat have begun to dot her brow.
He pushes his erection inside her and she let's out another whimper as she hurries to adjust to him.
"Are you-
"Yes" she cries, drawing her knees up ever so slightly to accommodate him. A moment later their bodies begin to find their rhythm.
"Harder" she finds herself moaning a moment later
Hearing Zelena moan with pleasure was nearly enough to drive him over the edge. He paces himself, for both of their sake.
Zelena draws in a sharp breath as his thrusts become deeper and harder. He groans her name a moment later with one powerful thrust, and empties into her, hoping beyond hope he can hold out for her just a bit longer.
And then, mere seconds later, Zelena's body stiffens, and her own orgasm washes over her, cascading through her body. She cries out powerfully as he helps her to finish. Her heart beating wildly, one hand gripping the sheet underneath her, the other still intertwined with his fingers.
He is breathless, sweaty, and shaky limbed as he disentangles his fingers from hers, so that he can take her face in his hands. He breathes her in, and cannot unlock his gaze from her stunning blue eyes in that moment.
Zelena's heart is still pounding, her body pulsating in the afterglow. She gulps hard, overcome with the most intense feelings of love that she has ever felt in her entire existence.
"What is it my love? Are you alright?"
She smiles. "I never thought that it could be like this." She says, a small lump forming in her throat. "I've been alone my entire life. I never knew what I was missing, Jefferson."
He sighs, and kisses her deeply I promise you, Zelena, this is the real thing. You and I. Your days of being alone, they're behind you. I swear it on all that I am. "
She is utterly overwhelmed in that moment, her breath taken away by how deeply she has fallen for this remarkable man, this man who asked no questions, and loved her, and saw her, for the first time in her life as something other than "wicked" or "damaged."
She reaches up to cradle his face, and shakes her head, unable to form the words to describe her love for him.
She can think of nothing before this moment, or what may come after.
