To Darkness
Dark Swan watches her raven-haired lover slip out of the bed they share. A small smile turns up one corner of her lips as Regina approaches the tall looking glass to scrutinize her naked appearance.
“Me,” she muses aloud, tracing her finger gently along the glass, “A Dark One.”
The smirk remains on Dark Swan’s lips as she, too, leaves the bed to join Regina.
“It is a delicious temptation, is it not?” Dark Swan asks lightly as she presses her bare body against Regina’s from behind.
She brings her hands around Regina’s front and caresses her breasts, nibbling at her neck.
“It is… But, how did you get so lucky as to only receive this glowing hair & blackened skin as payment for the darkness? How do we know I wouldn’t turn all… I dunno, scaly?” Regina asks with a playful snarl.
“Oh, my ravishing Evil Queen,” Dark Swan says sweetly and looks at Regina’s eyes in their reflection, “The Darkness will treat you with the same respect it’s shown me. It’s been with Rumple far too long. That’s why he looks the way he does, you see- Because the Darkness is punishing him for keeping control of it for so long.”
A bright smile lights up Regina’s face and she turns to wrap her arms around Dark Swan’s waist.
“Do you really think so?” she asks giddily.
Dark Swan nuzzles Regina’s nose with hers.
“I know it to be true, my darling. The Darkness tells me so as we speak,” she assures.
“Then, I’m in. Let’s overthrow that rotten bastard, and we’ll both rule terribly over the Enchanted Forest. Together.”
Immediately, Dark Swan conjures two goblets of blood red wine to celebrate, and offers one to Regina.
“To Darkness,” she toasts, and holds her glass up.
With a smile, Regina clinks her glass with hers and replies, “To Darkness.”
