The Line Between Love and Hate

Two

I sat at my desk, trying to work on paperwork. But my mind was only on this mornings events. It's been about a month since this whole... thing started with the mayor. And to say I'm exhausted is an understatement. We have had so much sex, in so many different places. And at so many different times of the day. But so far, morning sex has been the best. It's nice to wake up to someone kissing all over your neck and chest. She has a spare key so she can come over anytime she wants. And boy does she. She's come over multiple times at like three in the morning. It's insane. She's going to be the death of me. I ran my fingers through my hair. Maybe that's her plan. She'll fuck me to death and then she doesn't have to deal with me anymore. What a way to go. My phone buzzed and I saw it was her. I opened it and bit my lip.
Lunch at 12.15. I'll pick you up.
I chewed on my lip. I don't think I have enough energy for more sex right now. I just responded with a simple okay before going back to work. I had to get some stuff done before lunch.

At 12.15 exactly, Regina pulled up. I walked to her car and got in, causing her to hum. "Buckle up." She said and i put my seatbelt on. She started driving towards the town line and I bit my lip. After driving out of town for about 20 minutes, she pulled up to a Japanese restaurant and parked. We got out and went in. She wrapped her arm around me, pulling me close but I didn't think anything of it. She asked the waitress for a table for two and we were led back to a nice spot. It's kind of secluded. We sat down and ordered drinks. The waitress walked off and i looked at Regina. She was already looking at her menu. I bit my lip and looked at mine.

After lunch, we just drove around for awhile before going back to town. It's kind of awkward. She's just.. staring off as she drives. I don't know if she wants to talk or if she just wants to stare.. why isn't she taking me back to work? I chewed on my lip and looked back at her when she sighed. She started driving back towards town and I cleared my throat a little. "Are you okay? You were kinda quiet during lunch and now you're silent..." i mumbled and she hummed. "I'm fine, Swan. I'll see you later." She said and parked in front of the sheriff station. I didn't even realize we were back already. I nodded a little and got out of the car, going in the building. I went to my office and sat down behind my desk. Sure I'm young for a sheriff but I'm qualified so does it really matter? I sighed, now wanting to know why regina was being so... weird. We went to lunch and then just drove around. She didn't even bring up sex. I'm of course okay with it. It's just weird. I mean, this time last month we hated each other and were always at each other's throats. And now I'm having casual lunch with her? That's not normal. Well I don't think it is anyways. Sure I like this way better than fighting all the time. Of course I do. I get amazing orgasms out of it. I get my checks on time. For the most part. I just.. i don't know. It's weird.

I sat in Reginas dining room, looking around. She asked me to sit here while waiting for her to get something. She came downstairs with a shopping bag and hummed. She set it in front of me. "Sheriff... do you recall your first week in town?" She asked and i nodded. "Do you recall what you were wearing when I came to visit you with apples?" She asked, looking over my body. I swallowed thickly and nodded. She smirked a little and hummed. "Well... so do I. I loved the way the red looked on your smooth pale skin. So I got you a gift. Several actually." She said and i swallowed, seemingly trying to swallow the lump in my throat, before looking back at the bag. "You got me gifts?" I asked and she chuckled. "Open them." She said and i nodded. I pulled one of the thin boxes out of the bag. She smirked as I started to open it. My breathing hitched as red lace came into view. When the paper was gone, it revealed very nice and expensive red lace lingerie. I looked at her and she smiled. "I thought it would look good on you. From now on.. I want you to wear one of these under your work clothes. You'll be rewarded when it happens to be the black or red. Black is my color but I think it would look ravishing on you. And red because it's obviously your color." She said and i nodded. "You have plenty of choices in there darling.. how about a fashion show." She said, something beautiful glimmering in her eyes and i nodded excitedly. I got up and grabbed the bag, stopping before I left the room. She looked at me confused and I smiled. "What are you waiting for?" She asked and i leaned up, kissing her softly. I pulled away after a few seconds and hummed. "Thank you." I said softly before going to her bathroom downstairs to change.

I laid in Reginas bed, her on top of me and i played in her hair. After parading around happily in the many different sets of lingerie she got me, ending on the black one, we had amazing sex. Now we're just laying here. She keeps humming softly and I can't stop smiling. It's nice to be appreciated and be told you're beautiful occasionally. And boy did I feel beautiful.. "I will never understand how someone can be so beautiful." She said softly, as if reading my thoughts, and i blushed deeply. "Me neither." I said softly and she kissed my hickey covered neck. I smiled and bit my lip. What a change of pace.
