Criminal Love - Alastor X Female Reader

Chapter 70 - Broken Glass

38 weeks pregnant

Eyes fell on you as you walked down the stairs on your own.

"Everything... ok?" You questioned.

"Hmm?" Angel hummed. "Just making sure you're not in labour is all. Pfft." Angel shooed off.

You rolled your eyes sitting at the table for breakfast.

These last few weeks, everyone was being super nice. It was fine at first. But now you wanted to stab everyone eyes out with a fork.

"Where's Al?" Charlie frowned, sitting down.

"Probably out hunting again." You mumbled, not bothering to look at anyone but instead enjoy your food.

"Oh..."

Everyone became quiet, unsure of how to respond.

With a heavy sigh, your appetite seemed to vanish.

You picked up your plate and headed to the kitchen, ignoring everyone.

As you were carefully carrying the plate to the sink, it unfortunately slipped from your grasp and broke into pieces.

With a sigh of dismay, you knelt down to gather the fragments when you accidentally cut your finger, causing a slight exclamation of surprise.

"Darling..." You heard Alastor say beside you.

"I'm fine." You sniffled back a sob.

Alastor gently halted you and took your hand. He placed his hand over yours, healing the cut with a gentle touch.

"What's going on?"

"I'm tired of people looking at me with sympathy now."

Alastor eyes softened. "They just care, love..."

"Yeah... well, maybe they're caring a bit too much!" You abruptly stood up straight, with Alastor rising after you.

You took a deep breath and leaned against the counter.

"I'm sorry, I just feel vulnerable and weak at the moment." You crossed your arms.

Your gaze then settled on the spot where Alastor had collapsed..

Alastor noticed that as he placed a finger under your chin, making him look at you.

"Don't." He whispered. "Don't let that mind wander back to that day. If I could, I would erase it, but that it something I am not messing with."

He gently removed his finger from your chin, his gaze moving from your lips to your eyes.

"If you wish to kiss me, Al, then do -," you began to say, but he interrupted you by pressing his lips against yours. He then pulled away.

"Like that?" He smiled. You were momentarily taken aback by the realisation that you had missed all of this. You had missed the way he would kiss you, hold you, and hug you from behind.

You cupped his cheeks in your hands, pressing your lips back on to his wanting more shocking the overlord for a moment.

Alastor hands fell to your hips, enjoying the heated make-out session you were now sharing.

"Urgh, guys, we cook food in here!" You heard Vaggie groan.

You both pulled away, looking at the ex exorcist who was scowling at you with her arms crossed.

You let out a soft chuckle at that, turning your attention back to your husband before gently leaning against his chest, your arms encircling him in a loving embrace.
