In My Sights

She's Gone

Charlie

I woke up at the feeling of someone holding me. I rolled over expecting to see Vaggie and to my surprise, I saw Alastor softly snoring beside me. His face looked so different while he slept, so relaxed and calm without his usual smile. I looked around the room, my eyes still adjusting to the darkness. My head and my body ached. I groaned and gently rubbed my temples. Alastor tightened his grip around me at the sound of my discomfort and that's when it dawned on me. I lifted the blankets and peeked underneath... Ohh my God! I'm totally naked! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Alastor's arms snaked around me, his head rested in the crook of my neck and his breath rustled my messy curls. His body was pressed up against me and I could feel something hard like a stick poking my thigh. I blushed hard in realization. Shit! What happened last night?!

I tried to relax and carefully remove myself from Alastor's grip but his eyes fluttered open as I attempted to escape his grasp. A smile consumed his features despite his drowsy state. He squeezed me tighter, buried his face deeper in my neck, and spoke softly in my ear, his voice was just a low sleepy purr. "Good morning my dear."

I felt weak and anxious. I stuttered, "G-good morning!" I held my head, glanced over at him from the corner of my eye, and groaned again, "What happened last night? Why am I in your bed..." I paused and continued nervously, "... and why am I naked?"

"Well sweetheart, you asked to sleep with me last night. We went to the theatre and we went out for supper. You drank too much despite my warnings. I brought you back to the hotel, you argued with Husker and Angel, and you climbed on top of the bar. So, I carried you up here to rest." His face still held the same twisted grin but his face held a slight pink tinge that was almost completely concealed in the dim light.

"Ohh God... I'm so sorry!" I covered my face with my hands in shame and embarrassment, and continued to seek answers without being too obtrusive, "Did I do anything else?"

"Yes." he deadpanned.

I cringed at his response, "W-what?"

"My dear you were a terrible mess and a threat to yourself and myself as well. You simply could not keep your hands to yourself, you were pushy, loud, needy, and quite demanding." He replied, the blush on his face deepened and he cleared his throat, "You put up an impressive fight with me and refused to act like a respectable young lady."

"I tried to fight you?" I was confused. "Then where are my clothes?!"

"Well... about that." he looked me dead in my eyes, I could feel his hands gripping my skin, his claws dug into me for a moment before he relaxed again.

Alastor

She doesn't remember? How do I explain this to her?! I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and gave her a partial summary of last night's events. "You refused to remain covered and I had to cover you up to preserve your dignity my dear. You simply would not take no for an answer."

She closed her eyes and let out a tense sigh, "Al, I promise I won't be mad if we did, but we didn't do anything... did we?"

She pursed her lips and her eyes were swimming with pain and emotion. I looked at her and my expression softened, "Yes darling, as I told you before, I will grant any wish your heart desires."

Her eyes widened in shock and her body was tense. She took in a sharp breath and laid back on the pillows, shutting her eyes tight. "No no no no no no no~! Fuck! I'm just as bad as Vaggie!" she whined.

"That's simply not true." I said taking her hand in mine. "You see dear, she chose to have relations with others during the course of your relationship, you did no such thing."
