Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 68

This is Hattie Valhalla, or "Medusa".

Don't let the eyepatch fool you...she has deadly aim with that gun of hers.

We'll be seeing more of her later 🤭 this is just a teaser.

Fawn's POV

I watched as Alastor zipped up the small duffle, humming a quiet tune.

He stood up smoothly, throwing the strap over his shoulder before directing his attention towards me.

"Alrighty, my love! This shouldn't take more than a few hours or so, and when I get back, we'll be having fresh venison for dinner!"

I smiled at him from my place on the bed. My legs unfolded from beneath me and I stood up, walking over to him.

"Ok...just remember to be careful," I reminded him, patting down the front of his hunting suit.

He let out a sharp 'HA!' and then bent down to kiss my forehead.

"Darling, I've been hunting since I could walk. From the age I could hold a gun, I was shooting one," he stated, rather proudly.

I giggled softly, "I know. Just promise me you'll be careful, it'll make me feel better," I said, looking up at him with a smile that was just slightly dampened with worry.

Hunting has never been a sport I was fond of. The act of killing animals simply for fun...nah, not for me.

However, Alastor may kill for fun, but he also uses every piece of whatever he kills. Nothing goes to waste with him...

That makes it a little less barbaric, I guess.

His eyes softened and he brushed his gloved fingers over the side of my head, pushing my hair back.

"I promise," he said, a gentle smile on his face.

Silly as it is, those words made a bit of my worry melt away and I perked up.

Getting on my toes, I laid a kiss onto his cheek, "thank you..." I whispered.

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me into his chest, "what kind of a kiss was that, woman," he said playfully before he swiftly pressed his lips against mine.

I squeaked in surprise, then smiled and put my arms over his shoulders.

He dipped me slightly, and I held onto him tighter.

Then we parted, and he shot me a charming smile.

Several more kisses were peppered across my face, making me giggle and try to wriggle out of his hold.

We stood back up straight as he kept kissing my face all over, and I just accepted it.

When he was satisfied with the amount of affection he'd given me, he stood back up straight with a triumphant smile on his face.

A few little giggles escaped my throat and I tried to calm my burning cheeks.

You'd think after living with him and knowing how he is, I'd be used to it...I swear I think he just likes to see my cheeks flush.

He laughed softly and started towards the bedroom door. I followed him, and once we'd gotten downstairs to the front door, he turned to face me once again.

"I'll be back before dinner," he said, gently touching my face. I leaned into the touch, smiling.

"Ok...I'll be here," I said, and he furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
