If You'd Only Notice

Zena's pov

I smile as the girls come rushing in and I motion them over to the ingredients so we can start mixing, they take turns handing me what's needed as I mix it, once done I walk to the blood storage grabbing one that seems to pull at my cravings.

Pouring some in I mix it and let them pour it in the pans before putting it in the oven, I grab some cream icing and pour blood from a different jar in it mixing it before coving it till time, smiling I see the girls eyeing the blood and give them a glass while discreetly taking a sip as we sit talking letting the brownies bake.

Eventually I smile watching as they sniff the air before rushing over and opening the oven taking the finished brownies out.

I carefully place them outside on the snowy ground to cool faster and then watch them bounce excitedly, once done I spread the cream icing on one then carefully take the second from the tray putting it on top of the icing covered one before cutting them up, sending them off with one each and with one for Alcina out of habit, I the  promise they can have another for dessert, they nod kissing my cheek and swarm off.

I glance around seeing no ones around and quickly wrap one in cloth before putting it in my pocket and go grab my money and jacket.

Knocking on Regina's door she opens it smiling as we walk out the doors to head to the village.

Alcinas pov

Pacing my office by the window I keep thinking of how my Zena talks and looks at me now, I'm angry over how it's only me she talks or looks at like that.

I'm her mistress her words are respectful and she has done nothing disrespectful, but she's not looking at me, not even a smile yet she smiles at that new maid playing and joking with her.

I glance out the window seeing my Zena walking with that childish excuse of a woman splitting some treat with her while laughing and talking.

My daughters swarm into my room holding up sweets "Mother we brought you one, Zena helped us make them" Daniela says proudly.

I look at them noticing their hair's different today braided with ribbon and beads, taking the offered sweet I notice it looks like the one Zena split with the maid.

"Girls your hair looks nice, did my pet help you?" I ask.

They stiffen and stop smiling "Fuck no, she didn't we wouldn't allow that bitch near us, let alone close enough to do this" Cassandra scoffs.

I frown confused "If she didn't do it who did?"

Bela shakes her head "No, we went to Zena after coming to ask you but you were too busy with that thing, so Zena helped us clean up after breakfast and did our hair".

I nod "You know my pet's here to help you girls right, you can get her to help?"

Cassandra snarls at me slamming her hand on the table "Oh really when? If she's not busy being fucked by you, she's telling us you're busy and can't spare us a moment".

Bela stands up as her sister swarms out looking at me sadly "Zena made sure you took breaks, made it to meal times, she took care of us, but you tossed her away for a new pet, you only have time for her anyways she made sure of that".

I watch shocked as she swarms out, that's not true I mean I've missed a few meal times here and there but I'm certain it's only a few.

Looking at my organizer I see my days show it's all full with no openings, I flip back and find that from Zena's endpoint it slowly changes to every day full none stop, moving back to Zena's point I see that she left meal time free and stopped the working at a certain time, switching to time with the girls since I have no sense of time after all these years.

I frown "I'll have to tell my pet that she needs to do better".

I laugh as we reach the gates talking to Regina and pushing her playfully, we wander around the shops looking and I spot a rare first edition book that I grab for Daniela, moving along I see two rare blocks of steel that I grab knowing Cassandra will love these.

Looking at both I move to toys grabbing Bela a stuffed Cerberus toy for her secret plushy collection, I walk up and pay for everything while seeing Regina follow me, biting my lip I walk to the Duke blushing "Hi Duke did you find a....." I blush handing him the list I wrote "I need these things please".

He nods grabbing the things I need and boxing them with my last order.

I hand him the money and he nods, reaching out to grab my box Regina grabs it first and walks away with it.

We reach the castle and I call for the girls who swarm in past their mom on the stairs, I smile handing each their gift smiling more as they hug me saying thank you, and swarm off again.

I glance at Lady Dimitrescu and bow before walking to my room where Regina sits the box down on the floor and I push it under my bed, she waves leaving my room, I wait a moment after the door closes to hear if anyone's coming then rush digging in the box and smile finding a dildo.

(Skipped)

Focusing on my pleasure I miss the door opening and Regina coming in without me noticing "Zena I left my oh........".

I jump grabbing the blanket and cover myself as I blush seeing her, my eyes widen when I see a bulge under her skirt before her hand drops to cover it as she turns to leave.

Rushing up I stop her and close the door "I'm sorry please don't run I won't judge you, please you're the first person to be my friend here" I whisper clinging to her arm and feeling tears rolling down my cheeks, she nods moving to sit on the edge of my bed.

We both sit in awkward silence "I didn't realize...." "I didn't mean to......" We both speak at once and stop I blush and start laughing.

"Oh Mother Miranda, we're acting like children who caught their parents together" I say.

Regina laughs and sighs "I didn't mean to walk in on you doing that, I just remembered I left my bag in your box".

I snort shaking my head "It's fine, I didn't realize you would be coming back".

She bites her lip "Please don't tell anyone about King".

I raise my brow "King huh?"

She blushes shrugging "My name means Queen so I named her King".

I nod biting my lip as she blushes more "I need to go deal with this" she mumbles.

She blushes looking at the floor "I know you love Lady Dimitrescu but maybe if you ever want, we could help each other be friends with benefits?"

I look at her smiling as I push her to lay back and crawl on her lap "Friends with benefits sounds great, but I'm kind of ruined for anyone I don't think I could feel anyone else".

Regina nods "Maybe mutual masturbation?"

Nodding I move to lean back and see her.

(Skipped)

Laying on my back on the bed covered up Regina smiles getting up "Sleep well, Zena".

I grab her hand stopping her from leaving "Will you sleep here? I don't want you to leave right away, if you don't want to".

She smiles crawling in by me "Nice to know that we can hang out after but let's sleep".

I nod cuddling up to her and quickly fall asleep, neither of us hears the sound of heels storming away.
