In My Sights

Secrets

Charlie

I tossed and turned in the covers unable to sleep, I glanced over my shoulder and saw Vaggie sleeping sprawled out beside me. I slipped on my tiny black and white slippers and made my way out of the room and down the stairs toward the lobby. I grabbed a glass from the bar and filled it with water. I settled down on the sofa with a sigh and sipped my water in the quiet darkness.

"Why are you down here, alone in the darkness, at such an hour darling?" Alastor's voice sounded deep and drowsy, he stepped out of the shadows, his features pulled into a close-lipped smile. I found myself staring at him, it was unusual to see him this underdressed. He donned a sophisticated deep red robe and simple matching red slippers. "It's rude to stare my dear."

His voice pulled me back to reality. I stammered in my embarrassment, "I-I'm so so so so sorry! It's just that..."

"Yes~?" he drawled out his question and sat next to me on the sofa, his lips pulled back into a sly smirk. So close... too close!

My face felt hot. I shifted my weight and tried to scoot over on the sofa to make some more space. He raised his eyebrow at me and leaned in closer. Ohh my god, what is he doing?! I felt like alarms were blaring in my head. He pulled my chin up gently making me look at him, his crimson eyes half-lidded and heavy, his voice was low and drawn out, "What's the matter sweetheart?"

Sweetheart?! My whole body was on fire now, he was still holding my face in his hand, his thumb gently pressed against my bottom lip. His face was so close I could feel his breath on my skin. "A-Alastor?"

"Hmmmm?" he hummed sleepily, he seemed almost drunk.

"Y-you're really close..." I could feel the back and the sofa on my side and my back was pressed against the arm of the sofa. I can't move!

"Mmmmm? Problem?" he pushed my hair behind my ear and leaned in even closer. His lips grazed my ear as he spoke sending a shiver down my spine, "Or would you like me to get closer?"

Alastor

I was practically on top of Charlie at this point. She couldn't escape me if she wanted to. I had my prey cornered, trapped right where I wanted her. I licked and gently nibbled her ear. I chuckled as she let out a small squeal.

"A-Al... I'm taken!" her flustered breathy voice spoke as she placed her hand against my chest. My robe hung open at the breast, her hand was so warm.

"Ohh, you're about to be." I wrapped my arm around her back and pulled her against me. She let out a quiet squeak as I bit her neck. So much touching... this is agony. I groaned and bit her harder sucking on her neck as my teeth broke the skin, her blood oozed into my mouth. I licked her neck from her collarbone up to her ear. "Mmmmm, you're delicious~."

This earned me a soft moan and she dug her claws into my chest. She was laid back on the sofa, her face was flushed and her breathing was fast and heavy. Right where I want you. I whispered in her ear again, "Let's keep this our little secret."

I could feel her shiver under me as I spoke. I let out a soft chuckle at her reaction. I stood up, straightened out my robe, and gave her a small bow. "Until next time my dear."

I turned on my heel and went back up the grand staircase to my bedroom, leaving Charlie hot, bothered, and desperate in the lobby. I chuckled to myself, "Let the games begin."

Charlie

I touched my neck where Alastor had bitten me. I could feel tiny tears in my skin, still sticky with saliva and blood. I dropped my hand to look at it, little crimson droplets stained my fingers. I got up and went over to a large antique mirror hanging on the wall to look at the damage. What the fuck Alastor?! I tried to pull my shirt collar up a bit to hide it, but I didn't have much luck. That's when it dawned on me, Ohh my God what about Vaggie?!

Alastor's voice rang in my head again, "How confident are you in her loyalty and integrity, princess?" I shook my head and clasped my hands together close to my chest. Why did he say that? What don't I know?

I let out a sigh and went up the stairs and back to my room. Vaggie was still sleeping soundly, curled up in the plush red bedding. I climbed back into bed beside her and shut my eyes tight, trying to clear my mind and silence my thoughts. After what felt like an eternity, sleep finally overcame me.
