Forbidden
Fragile:
"Loose the disguise," Regina repeats dryly and rubs the spot on her neck where Maleficent just bit her.
Maleficent smirks again, waves her hand and Gabriela's doppelganger disappears.
"So, I've underestimated you, darling," she purrs, but Regina can sense something behind her cool façade.
Regina shrugs and picks the hairbrush up, resuming the task of brushing her hair.
"Are you fucking her?" Maleficent asks plainly and steps closer to Regina.
"What's it to you?" Regina sneers. She suddenly becomes hyper-aware of that void Maleficent's absence left her with.
Maleficent's mouth twists again, but this time not in amusement. "Are you?"
Regina doesn't care one bit for that tone. It's almost like Maleficent is accusing her of something. Which is obviously completely wrong, because what right have she to ask Regina that? Maleficent was the one who suddenly stopped showing up.
"Can you blame me if I do?" Regina drawls and sticks her chin up.
Maleficent's hand suddenly lands on her shoulder and her fingernails digs into the soft flesh on Regina's bare shoulder.
"Why?" Maleficent asks and squeezes her shoulder tightly. "Why did you have to do that?"
Regina laughs, coldly, uninterested and stands from the chair, bats Maleficent's hand away. "Really, Maleficent, that can't be very surprising for you, can it? You were the one who suddenly lost interest, so can you blame me for finding someone else?"
"Lost interest?" Maleficent echoes and straightens her back so she's suddenly looming over Regina.
"Four times I came to your castle, and four times I was met by nothing than silence and empty rooms!" Regina spats. "So I naturally assumed that you have found something else to do with your life. Which I can't blame you. You weren't doing much else than just sitting and moping in those marble halls of yours, weren't you?"
"You thought I had forgot about you, is that it?" Maleficent asks, and her voice is suddenly surprisingly tender.
But Regina refuses to soften. "Wouldn't that be the most natural thing to do? What was happening between us was just a bit of fun anyway. Just a distraction."
"A distraction?!" Maleficent says, and now there's no tenderness left in her voice. The anger is coloring her cheeks, and her blue eyes sparkles dangerously.
Regina shrugs again. "I'm married, I'm sure you are aware of that."
"To a man who doesn't even look in your direction," Maleficent sneers, "but this girl… This Gabriela…" she almost spits the name out like it's venom on her tongue.
Regina chuckles coldly. "Did you expect me to just sit around and wait until it pleased you to look in my direction again? Do you think you own me just because we've fucked a few times?! Did it never occur to you that I might just find someone a little closer to home? Someone who's actually there when I need her, and not just when it pleases her?!"
"And did you think, little queen," Maleficent sneers and grasps Regina's chin roughly. "That I stayed away because I wanted to?"
"Well, what the hell was I supposed to think?!" Regina hisses. "Six months, Maleficent! Six months where I heard absolutely nothing from you. No messages, nothing! Of course I thought that you had moved on!"
Maleficent suddenly releases her and rolls the sleeve on her black velvet dress up. "King George's sword," she growls and points to a rather nasty looking gash on her forearm. She lowers the collar on the dress and reveals her collarbone. "his guard's arrow," she says and points to another gash on her pale collarbone.
Regina completely forgets to be angry. All of her anger suddenly vaporizes in thin air and she quietly asks: "What happened to you?"
"I was ambushed," Maleficent says, and her anger seems to vaporize too. "Attacked when I was the most vulnerable. They stripped me of my magic and chained me to the wall in the dungeon, and not in the way I like to be chained, might I add."
Now Regina doesn't only feel shocked, but also mortified. Maleficent was captured. Chained and tortured while Regina lured another woman to her bed in a silly attempt to get back on her.
She really can't do anything right.
"Why?" she asks. "Why did they do that to you?"
Maleficent shrugs. "I'm a dragon, darling. They don't need a reason to capture and imprison a monster."
A monster. No, Maleficent is not a monster. Regina knows that. And she also has a pretty good idea who the real monster is here.
"I escaped more by chance than opportunity," Maleficent continues, "and I immediately looked into my mirror to see what you were doing. Needless to say, I was rather shocked at what I saw. A chambermaid, really darling? You couldn't be a little less obvious?"
Regina feels completely mortified. The hurt in Maleficent's voice is really something that squeezes at her barely-functioning heart. She acted too hastily. Once again, she managed to mess things up.
"You should go," she mutters and looks anywhere but at Maleficent.
Maleficent raises an eyebrow.
"I'm relieved to see that you are alive and well, but I would very much like to be alone right now, so please just… please just go," Regina murmurs quietly.
"If that's what you want," Maleficent says, like she did once before, and with a soft swirl of magic and a faint chorus of crows, Regina is left alone in her bedroom.
Regina doesn't leave her chamber anymore that night. Or the following day. Everything inside her aches and screams. What a fool she has been. Such a bloody fool. And now everything is ruined, Regina is certain of that.
Because why should Maleficent care for her now? Now that she knows exactly what sort of monster Regina is. What kind of woman she is. Someone who will climb into bed with the first person she can get.
No, Maleficent is done with her, of course she is. Regina has ruined everything. And for what? Because it was thrilling to lure Gabriela into her bed? What sort of person does that?
Why does she always think the worst of everyone? Why is she so bad?
Regina doesn't eat anything that day. She informs Johanna that she's unwell and will be staying in her chambers. Johanna advises her to get some sleep.
But Regina doesn't. She can't. She keeps seeing Maleficent's face before her eyes. She keeps hearing the hurt in the other woman's voice.
Maybe Regina even sheds a few tears over what's happened. Maybe she even intends to cry herself to sleep that night. Maybe she cries as she tries to forget everything about the blonde sorceress and the marks on her body and the betrayal in her eyes.
She's pulled out of her misery and lifts her wet cheeks from the pillow when something suddenly happens. A swirl of magic suddenly engulfs her, and Regina closes her eyes. She's really not in the mood to be transported to Rumplestiltskin's castle tonight. She can't handle a magic lesson tonight.
But when she opens her eyes again, she's not in the dark castle, and Rumplestiltskin is nowhere to be seen. Instead, she opens her eyes to purple sheets and flickering flames in the fireplace. And Maleficent's arms around her.
Regina lifts her head from the pillow. "Maleficent, I…"
"Shh," Maleficent says gently and holds her even closer. "I've missed you too."
Regina's façade completely falls apart at that, and she breaks down in sobs that wracks her body. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"
"It's okay," Maleficent says as she strokes her hair. "Shh, don't cry, darling one. I can't bear when you cry."
But Regina does cry. Her tears embarrass her, and she turns away from Maleficent and shields her face in her hands.
Maleficent is having none of it. She gently but firmly gathers Regina in her arms and strokes her hair, comforts her like a child, kisses her forehead and holds her close.
"I'm sorry," Regina repeats again and again. "I don't know why I… I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Nothing is wrong with you, darling," Maleficent murmurs against her hair. "You were hurting and were just trying to find a way to stop hurting. I can relate to that."
But her kind words only make it worse, and Regina tries to wiggle out Maleficent's grasp. "I shouldn't be here. I don't even know why you would want me here."
"No, stop trying to leave all the time," Maleficent insists and grabs Regina's wrist. "I thought we were beyond all that."
Regina isn't too sure of that anymore, but she still silently agrees to being coaxed back into bed.
"Your maid is very pretty," Maleficent says a moment of silence.
Regina's grimed cheeks flushes.
"And so very like you," Maleficent continues. "I see the appeal."
Regina mutters something incoherent. Her skin is burning, and she chews on her bottom lip.
Maleficent surprises her by laughing a little. "I turn my back for five minutes and look what happens…"
Regina's cheeks burn. "I'm sorry…"
"Oh, do stop apologizing all the time, darling," Maleficent drawls. "I was just surprised, that's all. Because you're right. I don't own you. I have absolutely no right to be angry."
"But you were," Regina says quietly and raises on her elbow.
"Mmm," Maleficent hums noncommittally.
"Mal?" Regina asks hesitantly and reaches out to touch the other woman's shoulder.
"Yes, my dear?"
"Were you… jealous?"
"Now, why on earth would I be that?" Maleficent asks and suddenly adopts a rather teasing tone: "After all, you and I just fucked a few times. Just a bit of fun, right?"
Regina flushes again when she hears her own words.
Maleficent laughs and brushes a strand of hair behind Regina's ear. "Perhaps I'm not too fond of seeing you having fun with someone that isn't me…"
Regina laughs too, and then she leans in and kisses Maleficent. She hopes that kiss will serve as another apology. An apology, Maleficent doesn't brush aside.
And Maleficent gingerly responds to the kiss and wraps her arms more fully around Regina. It doesn't take long before Regina finds herself to be lying on her back with Maleficent on top of her. And the dragon seems to have one thing on her mind only. She grabs a fistful of Regina's nightgown, and Regina yelps when the material is suddenly ripped apart.
"Was that really necessary?" she breathes when Maleficent removes her own nightgown.
"Yes, it really was," Maleficent says plainly and smirks down at her.
But Regina winces slightly when she sees how battered Maleficent truly is from her run-in with King George. It's not only her collarbone and arms that are affected. Her upper body is covered in bruises and nasty looking scratches. Regina slowly raises a hand and waves it over every single mark on Maleficent's body.
Maleficent pauses and stills her hand on Regina's breast. "Thank you, darling," she breathes softly and smiles down at Regina.
"I'm sorry," Regina says, and this time she's not apologizing for the ordeal with Gabriela.
"It's nothing, darling," Maleficent assures. "You needn't worry."
"I should have thought of it," Regina says bitterly. "I should have figured out that you were in some sort of trouble..."
"And you would have what?" Maleficent gently teases. "Barged into King George's palace like a little ball of anger and demanded that he released me?"
"Yes, something like that," Regina giggles.
"You're very sweet," Maleficent says, exactly like she used to do. "My good girl."
Regina stretches her neck slightly to kiss her again, and Maleficent responds to the kiss. But only for a moment. Far too soon, she breaks the contact and smirks at Regina again as she repositions herself and crawls between the brunette's legs.
"Mmmph!" Regina groans when she feels Maleficent's fingers brush through her slit. She's wet, of course she is, and she catches herself beg for Maleficent's fingers.
"Not yet darling," Maleficent breathes. "I want to taste you first. It's been too long."
Regina groans again at that and wiggles her hips.
Maleficent grabs not one but two pillows and positions them underneath Regina's bottom. Regina raises an eyebrow. With her lower body raised like this, she can't see what's going in, and that's almost as bad as being blindfolded.
But a second later, she's not in doubt of what's going on. Maleficent's tongue licks her flawlessly from entrance to clit, and Regina moans.
It doesn't take Maleficent long to push Regina into the first orgasm, but she doesn't stop there. She continues to lick and suck and fuck Regina with her tongue. She's relentless tonight. It's almost like Maleficent is drinking her. Uses her tongue on her until Regina is completely dry.
Regina soon looses count on how many times she's been pushed over the edge tonight. Her mind is completely spinning and she's hoarse from yelling Maleficent's name.
"Turn around," Maleficent breathes into her ear.
"Mmm… what?" Regina answers, completely dizzy from the multiple orgasms.
"Turn around," Maleficent repeats as she swiftly removes the pillows.
Regina groans but nevertheless does as she's told to. She turns around and lies flat on her stomach instead.
Maleficent clicks her tongue a little. "Not like that. On your hands and knees, if you please, my sweet."
Regina lifts her head and shoots Maleficent a look. She appears to be serious. Regina ignores that little part that screams that this is no position for a queen and raises on her knees. She presses her palms flatly against the mattress for support.
"Good girl," Maleficent breathes behind her and Regina yelps and nearly topples over when she gives her bottom a swat.
"You deserved that, didn't you?" Maleficent half-laughs.
"Y-yes," Regina breathes.
"Would you like me to do it again?"
"Yes, please."
Swat. Maleficent spanks her again, and this time the blow is so hard, Regina's elbows cave in and she topples over.
"Ow." She mumbles as she tries to reposition herself on her hands and knees.
Maleficent cackles as she helpfully grips Regina's hips to help her up. "Let me make amends, darling."
"And how exactly were you planning on doing-..." the rest of the question dies on her lips and she cries out instead when Maleficent suddenly slides two fingers inside her.
"Like this," Maleficent suggests and starts moving her fingers swiftly, deeply within Regina.
"Ahh!" Regina can already feel herself getting close again. How is that even possible?
Smack. Maleficent's other hand lands on her bottom again. Regina lowers her head slightly and whimpers.
Smack. Maleficent slides a third finger into her and thrusts them hard and fast. Regina feels how her thighs quakes slightly. The way Maleficent's fingers moves within her makes her knees buckles and she fears that she will topple over again.
Smack.
Regina doesn't topple over. Instead she comes hard and fast and with Maleficent's name on her lips. Her walls clenches almost painfully around Maleficent's fingers and her elbows, unable to take the pressure anymore turns into jelly. She ends up with her head buried in the pillows, and she barely registers that Maleficent lifts her hips again and her tongue dives in between Regina's legs to lick her clean.
Regina squirms a little. She's oversensitive now.
Maleficent finally withdraws her tongue and sniggers a little as she lies down next to Regina.
"Ugh…" is all Regina can say. Her mouth and nose are buried in the pillows, and she is suffocating a little, but she can't move her head. Or anything else for that matter.
"I've missed you, darling," Maleficent says spontaneously.
"Guhh," Regina mumbles. How unintelligent of her, but it's the best she can do right now. Her body is still tingling.
Maleficent cackles and puts a warm hand on Regina's lower back. "Have I robbed you of your voice, darling?"
"N-no," Regina manages to say. The Forbidden Fortress is slightly blurred around the edges, and she can barely keep her eyes open, but she still has something to do. She outstretches a trembling hand toward Maleficent, tries her best to remind herself that she hasn't pleasured Maleficent in the slightest yet.
But Maleficent simply laughs and bats Regina's hand away. "I appreciate the thought darling. But I doubt you would be able to actually do anything."
"Give... me… a… chance," Regina groans and tries her best to get her mind and body to cooperate.
"No. Not tonight, darling. You're about to pass out."
Regina doesn't deny that. "But what about you?"
Maleficent laughs again, brushes her lips against the side of Regina's neck. "I can wait until tomorrow. When you have regained your strength. Now sleep."
"Here?" Regina asks doubtfully. "Are you sure you want me to stay?"
"Yes. I very much want you to stay," Maleficent says firmly and wraps her arms tightly around Regina.
