Addiction

Chapter 3 - Questions

Since that night, I had a lot of questions. Why did my hunger suddenly die down? I lived pretty much a normal life since Emma went 'Screw it' as she so nicely put it. A week past by. She and Henry are getting along fine. I on the other hand still had my struggles, but at least now I could actually pay attention without my mind being all over the place.

Henry was doing homework and I sat in the living room, reading a book. That was something I haven't been able to do in a while. Simply reading a book. I glanced over at Emma who was seemingly busy on her phone.
"I don't get it..." I said softly, trying to get her attention. She looked up and frowned.
"Don't get what Regina?"
"We did it once and I haven't been a mess so far..." I explained and put the book down. I pulled up my skirt and showed the healed marks from before. "I haven't had any urges and didn't claw my myself in a whole week..."

Emma blushed as I pulled up my skirt, she was quite embarrassed about that night apparently. I wasn't sure why, because we were both really into it at that time from what I can remember, and it wasn't awkward in the morning either...
"I guess I worked some kind of magic." She chuckled. I glared at her.
"Don't joke like that. There is no magic in this world." I knew because I cast this curse after all to take us to a land without magic.
"Ok, relax..." She chuckled and shook her head. "What got your panties in a bunch..."

I got up and just walked away. Even if she fixed my 'problem' she was incredibly infuriating at times! I leaned against the wall in the kitchen and tapped the floor with my heel in thought. 

What if it was magic...? I knew this infuriating woman was supposed to be the savior or whatever to break the dark curse. What if her purpose was to break my curse instead? I bit my lip. I was so far gone in thought, I didn't notice that Emma was standing in front of me.
"Regina...?" She asked and put her hand on my shoulder. I jumped a little as it startled me.
"Huh? Emma, what is it?" I looked into those deep green pools and got lost in them.
"Did I upset you?" She let her hand fall beside her body. I shook my head.
"No... well, sort of. It's hard to explain." I said and looked away.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I just want to help." She turned away but I stopped her and grabbed her hand.
"You'll understand... one day, maybe." I whispered and let her go. She nodded slowly and smiled at me.
"I'll wait." She said and moved closer. "I just want to see you happy." She walked off again.

I was stunned at her words. She just wants to see me happy? What does that even mean?!

I was sitting in my office and did my work like normal when suddenly my hunger crept up on me again. I looked at my calendar and groaned. 9 days. That's how long I lasted since that night. I sighed and leaned my head on my arm. I didn't really miss this feeling, but on the other hand it gave me a great excuse to talk that blonde into my bed again. To be fair, I really enjoyed that night with her. I never did ask why she gave in like that, though it had me curious.

Seeing that the woman didn't really have anywhere to go and I simply didn't want her to leave, I had her move into the guestroom for an undefined period of time. Not only because of Henry, but also because I was afraid that this would happen again. I don't know what kind of power she had over me, but I didn't want to lose it out of sight so to speak. I helped her become the deputy since there was a job opening for it. Having her help out Graham seemed like a good idea anyway. In a way I could still keep an eye on her that way. 

I looked back at the paperwork before me and shifted in my seat. I grit my teeth and focused on the paper. I wasn't about to touch myself when I was nearly done with all my paperwork. I quickly scanned the paper and signed it, throwing it aside and starting on the next only to be interrupted by a knock. I looked up and frowned.
"Enter." I wasn't expecting anyone. The door opened and there was Emma, carrying another stack of paperwork. I groaned and caught my head with my hand and just leaned on it. "Not more..." I sighed and lifted the paper I was working on.

"I'm sorry... Graham told me you needed these asap." She said and put them on the corner of the desk. "Are you ok Reg?" She asked and I looked up.
"Not sure if I find the nickname comforting..." I said and bit my lip.
"What would you prefer then? Your majesty perhaps?" She chuckled and I snorted.
"It's a start." I smirked and leaned back. I groaned as the fabric of my underwear rubbed me in a certain way, my face scrunching up. Emma didn't fail to notice and sat down on the edge of the desk.
"Are you... Having issues?" She asked and I chuckled.
"Yeah, I have a problem again." I looked at the ceiling. "9 days of peace, thoroughly ruined." I mused to myself. The blonde got up and moved around the desk. She leaned in and took my hand before kissing my cheek softly, moving to whisper into my ear.
"Finish your work. I'll be home on time so behave." She pulled back and blushed a little. I groaned and bit my lip, grabbing her wrist and pulling her down a bit roughly. I kissed her lips and sighed.
"Promise me." I wanted it so badly. I would work diligently if it meant she would take care of me.
"I promise... And I always make good on my promises." She said and quickly took a step back. "Now back to work, your Majesty." I licked my lips and went back to the paperwork as she left the office.

I tore through the boring papers as I was immensely motivated by the blonde's previous statement. Sure she didn't directly tell me she would have sex with me, but surely I knew to read between the lines.

I packed my things when I was done and went home. I may have broken a few speed limits here and there, but it was for the greater good, and most of all, I just couldn't take it anymore. I burst through the door and saw Emma standing there. I shrugged off my coat and grabbed her shirt, curling my fingers into it as I kissed her deeply. She chuckled and pressed me up against the wall, lifting me by my thighs, rubbing them a little as we deepened the kiss. I wrapped my legs around her waist and my arms around her neck to keep her close, when suddenly the door opened and a little dark haired boy was looking at us.

"Moms?" He asked.

"Shit!"
