It would take 2 weeks. 2 weeks of nonstop love making, of nonstop sex, before Mal considered it sufficient. Zelena had never known anything quite like it. Mal really put her through the ropes. They spent hours just learning each other's bodies, making love ranging from gentle, to aggressive, to passionate to explosive, experimenting with different positions, different techniques. Even a little S&M. Needless to say that by the time those 2 weeks were up, Zelena was thoroughly exhausted.
"So...how was your first many times?" Mal asked, lazily flicking the water. Zelena was leaning back against her, relaxing in the massive super soaker tub with rose petals floating in the water.
"Lovely. I have never been so sore in all my life."
"Hmm, get used to it, because you are quite adept at what you do." Mal replied, kissing her hair.
"As are you."
"Well, I've had more than enough time to practice. You are qyite a learner as well." Mal sighed. "I didn't hurt you at any point, did I?"
"If you did, I probably liked it." Zelena smirked. "So, I did good?"
"You have much to learn, my dear. Far too much to learn in a couple weeks, but you needn't worry. You were fantastic. However, you must stop biting my ass. I'll be marked for days."
Zelena grinned. "I can't help it. It's too amazing."
"Your screaming is making it better. I always loved a screamer." Mal wrapped her arms around her and kissed her cheek. "I believe Lily thinks we're dead."
Zelena snorted. "No, I'm sure she doesn't. We pretty much made sure of that when we put a hole in the wall from the headboard.
Mal burst out laughing then, making her flush with warmth at the whimsical sound. "Very true. Why don't I give you a nice massage and then we can finally get some rest?"
"That sounds like a lovely idea but I don't need a massage. I just need you." Mal suddenly stood up and lifted her in her air, effortlessly carrying her into the bedroom. She magically dried them off and tossed Zelena onto the new bed. The other had been pretty scorched after Zelena made Mal accidently breathe fire in the throes of one of her orgasms. She curled up beneath the black satin sheets and waited for Mal to get comfortable before wrapping her arms around the dragon. Mal sighed and Zelena smiled as she placed a kiss on her bare shoulder. Truly, life couldn't get any better than this.

Emma walked into the mayor's office and found Regina pacing in front of the fireplace. "You okay?" She asked, placing their lunches on the desk.
"No." Regina answered, still pacing.
"This is about Maleficent and Zelena, isn't it?"
"No." She said. "...yes."
"Do you love Maleficent? Or is this a sisterly fight over a guy or girl type thing?" Regina paused to glare at the blonde. "What? You know when two siblings like a person and they kinda duke it out."
"No, I don't know, Miss Swan." Regina hissed. "I'm not fighting with Zelena over anything."
"Clearly since Mal is already in Zelena's corner...and probably her bed."
"Don't put such a horrid image in my head, please. The thought of them together just infuriates me."
"Because you used to be Mal's little queen and now she has a little witch?" Emma smirked.
"Don't patronize me."
"Then stop whining and pouting." Emma said, eating a fry.
"This amuses you?" Regina asked.
"Yes. Yes it does. Maleficent wants Zelena. Let them have each other, a happy ending. You have Robin, your soulmate."
"And if I don't want Robin?"
"So you're just settling with him?"
"I don't know!"
"So this is basically you not wanting to share your things with your big sis?" Emma knew she was pissing off the queen, but her anger and confusion with the situation was actually simple. "I mean, you were all set to try and be a sister to Zelena and then Maleficent just comes into the picture and Miss Kitty brings out the claws. You know I'm right."
"You're not." Regina said, starting to pace again.
"Right, because you would rather die than admit it. Come eat instead of wearing a rut into the floor."
Regina sighed and stomped over to sit at her desk. Emma smirked as the queen angrily took her food and started eating.
"Don't worry, Queenie. Everything's gonna work out. I'm sure."
"Queenie?" Regina arched an eyebrow.
"I can be Idiot but you can't be Queenie?"
"Yes."
"Fine... Kitty."

Maleficent smiled, laughing as Zelena walked along a line of stones with her arms spread and her short green dress blowing slightly in the breeze. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her eyes sparkled in the light. Mal sighed dreamily as she walked beside the stones, trying to resist the urge to push Zelena off. The air was no longer unbearably cold. It was still chilly, but a mild warming spell ensured they wouldn't be too bothered by it. Lily was skipping ahead with Ruby circling her excitedly in her wolf form.
"So, what's for tonight? Watching movies and cuddling?" Zelena asked, balancing for a moment as she wobbled, before continuing on with the dragon at her side. When they came to the end of the stones, Mal made more for her to walk on, her blue tattoos on full display.
"What would be good to watch?" Mal asked.
"The Walking Dead." Ruby suggested in a barely recognizable growl.
"No, Game of Thrones." Lily added.
"50 Shades of Grey." Zelena snickered. "Ha, yeah right."
"Something violent preferably." Mal murmured. She held out a hand instinctively as Zelena teetered.
"I've got it, dear. It would be quite embarrassing for me to fall off something a couple inches off the ground."
"Very true. Why don't you two go pick the movies and Zelena and I will head to the store to get the snacks?" The queen suggested. Lily quickly agreed, hopped onto Ruby's back and took off through the trees. Mal shook her head with a smile and made flip flops appear on Zelena's feet as she stepped off the rocks. "What shall we get?"
"I'm thinking popcorn, pizza, bake some cookies, maybe even roast another gazelle." Zelena listed away as they teleported to the forest trail leading into town.
"Where the hell did you get a gazelle the first time by the way?"
"Magic, my dear Maleficent." Zelena replied. "Come on." She quickly lead the dragon into the town and into the grocery store, pulled out some strange metal cart and pushed it in front of them as she lead the way through the store, showing her the different foods and snacks in this world. Maleficent watched closely, trying to learn exactly how she was choosing everything, but the witch just seemed to be picking things at random, babbling incessantly as she did so, but Mal found that rather cute and simply smiled as she followed Zelena through the store.
"Zelena, when we return home, there is something I must show you. Please do not let me forget."
"Sure, what is it?"
"A surprise." Mal smirked, knowing the redhead would thinking about it until they got home. She briefly wondered if Zelena would move in with her, but things were going fast enough, a slower pace from here on out might be the best option.
"The Dragon Queen in a grocery store. What will they think of next?" She rolled her eyes as came into view.
"Dearest Rumple...fuck you." Mal hissed.
"Do not entertain him, let's go." Zelena said, taking Mal's hand and pulling the dragon away.
"Someone finally chose you, dearie? Must feel nice to finally be wanted."
Zelena froze. Mal however, did not. She punched Gold as hard as she could, sending him flying through about three aisles, destroying the shelves and throwing food everywhere. Belle ran to attend to the Dark One. Mal poofed their groceries home and teleported them to an open field, along with the Dark One's car and a police cruiser. She was livid at that man's fucking gall. No one cared about all the shit he pulled in the Enchanted Forest and he's walked around without a care in the world since, and now he has Belle. Why are people so fucking stupid as to piss off the Dragon Queen?
Zelena watched her tear apart one of the cars and she grabbed it in her talons and flew back to the pawn shop, chucking the charred metal into the front entrance, completely destroying it. She flew back to Zelena and shifted back. "I apologize. I normally don't let my anger get the best of me, but he was asking for it."
"Indeed. Could I…" she gestured to the cruiser.
"Of course. Just don't turn into a dragon please."
Zelena raised an eyebrow in confusion. She ultimately turned back to the task at hand and started blasting the car with fiery balls and conjured spears. Lily and Ruby were called and they made a game of destroying it. The dragons pulled off the tires and grew them to a giant size and made them virtually indestructible. They shifted and started playing with them like toys.
Zelena shook her head with a laugh as they ran around chasing the tires. At one point, Ruby even leaped inside of one and rolled down a hill. Mal looked down at Zelena. She should join in the fun too, even if- Lily waved her paw and the witch was suddenly engulfed in smoke. "Lily, no!"
/
Zelena blinked as the smoke cleared and looked around. Everything was so much more brighter. She flexed her hands, her talons, feeling every blade of grass beneath them. The breeze on her scales felt good. She looked down at herself, a challenge as she got used to her new longer neck. She slowly stood up and took in the sight of her emerald green scales, shining brightly in the sun. "Mal, I'm a dragon!" She said excitedly, bouncing around. She looked up at Mal and tried to walk to her, but only ended up tripping over something between her legs. It was her tail apparently, broad and flat with a large spade like tip. She swung it around and held it in her paws, twisting and bending it as she examined it.
"Way to go, Z!" Lily exclaimed, nuzzling her feverishly, before grabbing a nearby tire and pushing it to her. Zelena grabbed it and pushed it back. She got up to chase it and actually managed to stay on her feet this time. Using this form was so much fun.
"Maleficent!" Regina and Emma appeared, glaring at the black dragon, who had yet to take her eyes off Zelena. She approached the dragon queen with a concerned look and nuzzled her neck, hoping that her touch would bring some life back into the dragon, who was still just staring at her.
"Mal, you okay?"
"Maleficent, what the hell?! Do you know how much damage you caused?" Regina demanded. "I should throw you in prison." Mal finally tore her eyes from Zelena to look down at the queen and held up her scaly wrists, fully well knowing that no handcuffs could fit on them.
"My new cruiser." Emma whined.
"Why did you do this?" The queen looked at Zelena as if trying to figure out who she was. Then realization seemed to hit her when Mal moved closer to Zelena and licked one of her spikes. "You turned her into a dragon?"
"Money is on your desk to reprimand the damages." Mal growled. "Now, can we get back to our game?"
"I should lock your asses up. This is vandalism and destruction of property." Emma hissed angrily. Lily started mimicking her and wagging one of her claws like a finger. Mal and Zelena snickered. "Real mature, Lily." Lily licked her tongue.
"Everyone scatter! Back to the fort!" Mal yelled, quickly grabbing her tire and taking off into the trees. Zelena hurried after her while Lily took to the skies with Ruby on her back and a couple tires in her talons.
"I am going to murder each and every one of them." Regina said lowly.
Zelena changed as she and Mal made it back to the house. Lily and Ruby were already inside, laughing and setting out the snacks. They all showered and got changed and settled back to watch tonight's movie. Pirates of the Caribbean. Zelena was surprised by how much the dragon enjoyed the movie considering how much she despised Killian. They were not interrupted by a certain queen or sheriff thankfully and Zelena was pleased to spend some quiet time with her family. It was late when they cleaned up and headed to bed. Well, Lily and Ruby headed to bed. Mal had other plans as she lead Zelena down into her vault, a great cavern of a room filled to the brim with gold, gems, jewel encrusted objects, shields, armor, basically some of any and everything. There was no floor, just a mountain of gold coins and the witch couldn't even see where the room ended.
"This is my vault." Mal said. "Everything I have collected over my years."
"The Emerald City didn't have a vault this big." Zelena said in reverent awe.
"I wanted to show you this because you are special to me. When I die, most of this will go to my Lilith. She has been down here before and she knows. It will give her a headstart not only in giving her a good life, but also so she can get a good start on a hoard of her own. However, this vault does not house my greatest treasure." She walked forward and picked up a bejeweled mirror and held it up to Zelena. "You are my greatest treasure...rivaling Lily of course."
Zelena smiled, feeling her cheeks grow hot at the dragon's sincerity. "Thank you, Mal. You're precious to me too."
"Now that that's done." Mal tossed the mirror over her shoulder and suddenly lifted Zelena into the air. "We can go back to our room and make love until the sun rises."
Zelena laughed as Mal carried her into their bedroom. A few minutes later, she found herself in the dragon's lap, naked as the day she was born, and she could hardly care. She was still not very comfortable with her body, much to Mal's annoyance. The dragon loved it when she showed off her body. Even now she could feel the blonde's hands everywhere, caressing and touching her, as supple lips trailed kisses down her neck.
"Maleficent."
"Hmm?" Mal asked, too concerned with playing with her breasts to notice much. She moaned when the dragon nipped one of her nipples and started traveling even lower, pushing Zelena onto her back. "You are the most beautiful dragon I have ever seen." Mal smirked, running her hands up and down Zelena's sides. "I wanted to take you right then, right there."
"Why didn't you?" Zelena asked. She felt so exposed, laid out before the Great Beast, under her piercing gaze raking over her body.
"I didn't want to mentally scar my daughter. You just have no idea how you make me feel, Zelena. I'm glad you're mine. I want to have you in dragon form. I'll lose my mind, I know it." Mal replied, kissing her ankle as Zelena wrapped her legs around her shoulders.
"I'm yours, Mal." She said. "To have any way you want." Mal lifted her up, hands holding her ass as she started licking and lapping at the witch's center. Zelena gasped and dug her hands into long blonde locks. It didn't take long for her to reach her climax, not with Mal driving her insane. The dragon let her fall back onto the bed and lay next to her on her side. The room was filled with the blonde's loud purring and Zelena's heavy breathing.
"You taste heavenly." Mal smiled.
Zelena blushed, as she did every time the dragon complimented her. "Do I get a turn?"
"Later, we have plenty of time. You should rest first." Mal said, lazily drawing circles on her stomach. "Zelena?"
"Hmm?" Zelena asked, snuggling against her dragon as she teleported them beneath the sheets.
"Do you think I am...old?"
"Of course I do. How old are you?" Mal started to say something else, but Zelena quickly sat up and looked at her. "Wait a minute, are you worried about your age?" Mal shrugged. "Mal, you do realize that regardless of how old you are, you are still the sexiest woman ever, right?"
"Ever?"
"Ever." Zelena said firmly. With all of Maleficent's badassness and confidence, it never occurred to her that the dragon could feel insecure about, well, anything. But she supposed the woman had insecurities just like anyone else. "You are the sexiest, most beautiful, most amazing woman I've ever met." She leaned her head against Mal's breasts with a sigh. "Soft as a pillow." Mal purred even harder in response and wrapped her arms tighter around the redhead. And that is where she slept, within the arms of her dragon.
It would take another few more months before the weather started to warm up. Unfortunately, with the snow melting and a sudden onslaught of rainstorms, there was quite a bit of flooding in Storybrooke. The dragons simply used that as another excuse to have themselves a little fun by playing in the rain and mud. Zelena would often find herself rolling her eyes at their silly antics. Once the rain had left them, spring set in. However, the witch was less concerned with the weather and solely focused on something else.
She strode into the mayor's office with a purpose. Regina was behind her desk, but quickly gave her full attention to the redhead in her office. Regina opened her mouth to speak, but Zelena cut her off. "As of today, my dear, there is something I need for you to understand, and I need you to understand it now."
"Thank you for knocking, Zelena, how may I help you today?" Regina asked sweetly.
"Maleficent." Zelena said. "I know you still have feelings for her. I know you still care about her. I know that you want a second chance with her. I came here today to tell you to stay the fuck away from my dragon."
Regina immediately stood up. "She's-"
"Mine! She is mine and I am hers. There will be no more passive aggressiveness, no more showing up at her house for stupid things, no more trying to seduce her or any of that nonsense. Mal is a grown woman so she can talk to you if she wants. One day you might even be friends again, but know that your relationship will not go beyond that."
"You would not even begin to deserve Maleficent. You-"
"I don't deserve her." Zelena interrupted again. "I really don't, but she was willing to give me a chance. This is my happy ending. You can have your life, you can take everything from me. My magic, my freedom, it doesn't even matter anymore. Maleficent is my woman, my dragon, and soon she will be my mate."
"She's going to mate with you? With you of all fucking people?" Regina asked, looking at her with disgust.
"Yes, me." Zelena held up chin proudly. She displayed her wrist, one of the many places that Mal had marked her on. "She chose me, and I intend to ensure she doesn't regret her choice."

It was a warm night and Mal stepped out onto the balcony, finding her daughter sitting on the railing with her knees pulled up to her chin. "Lilith? Are you alright, dear?"
Lily raised her head and nodded as Mal came to stand next to her. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, Mom." Lily smiled. "What are you doing up?"
"Resting." Mal sighed. "I think I have created a monster."
Lily laughed. "So Zelena's a freak too, huh?"
"Indescribably so. If I didn't know she was human, I would think she was a dragon, or some other magically imbued being with incredible stamina." She shook her head. It wouldn't have bothered the dragon so much if she wasn't so damn sensitive. The witch could make her wet with only a look, and devoted herself to learning every inch of Mal's body, every quirk, every imperfection, everything she enjoyed. The sex was amazing, that wasn't the problem, but damn did she need a break. Zelena might be self conscious and timid at times, but now that she had her confidence in bed, there was no stopping her now.
"She sounds perfect for you." Lily commented.
"Just like Ruby is for you." Mal said. She noticed the sag of Lily's shoulders at the mention of her girlfriend's name. "Is something wrong between the two of you?"
"I don't know. She's been moody lately and won't even talk to me anymore."
"I haven't neglected you being with Zelena, have I? If you ever want to talk, then-"
"Mom." Lily looked up at her. "You have a beautiful woman in your bed who loves you, who you love too. I will never want to come between you too, and besides...I've had my heart broken before."
Mal touched her shoulder. "It might just be her time of the month for all you know." she felt helpless, unable to help her child in her time of need. "Is there anything I can do? Why don't we do some more training? Take your mind off of it."
"You're exhausted enough."
"I will always have enough time and energy for you, my child. You are my world, and you must be cared for as such. You may not be a child, but I will always be there for you." She wanted to ask about her daughter's first heartbroken moment, but she didn't feel as though she was ready. "If you want to talk, I'm here."
"Thanks Mom." Lily looked down at her knees. "I wish I'd grown up with you. I feel like I'm trying to be someone I'm not."
"You are who you are, and you are my daughter. That is all I care about. You should've grown up with me." She felt that same rage she'd felt after being resurrected start to surface and had to quickly shove it down. "I promise you one thing, my love...I will never let you go again."
Lily smiled at her. "I'm not letting go of you either, Mom. Zelena better not break your heart."
Mal scoffed. "She's crazy about me."
"She has every right to be. You're amazing."
"So are you, although you get it from me." She grinned, earning a grin from her daughter. "Come on, quick flight."
Lily sighed. "If you insist."
Mal held out her hand with her star birthmark on it. Lily glanced at her before placing her hand in hers, the same one that held the matching mark. "I do. Dragons have to stick together, even through the small stuff."
Lily smirked. "You know I love you, Mom, right?"
Mal nodded. "I do. You know I love you?"
"Of course."
"Good. Don't forget it."
Mal would've placed a spell on her bedroom to know when Zelena awoke, but the witch had gone home a couple nights ago and hadn't really contacted her since, saying that she wanted to work on another surprise for Mal, which really annoyed the dragon since she was now forbidden to give anything to the redhead for a month after filling her jewelry box with priceless necklaces and jewelry and loading her closet near to bursting with the finest silk and clothes she possessed. Tonight she could just fly with her daughter and help her forget her problems. Tonight, she could just be.
