"Who would've thought that potions and coffee would've worked so well together?"

Charlie chuckled as she watched Alastor drink his morning coffee to which he had just added his daily dose of elixir. It had been a few days since they became physical and to say it had been a dream for Charlie would've been an understatement. She never thought she could be closer to the Radio Demon but night after night he proves her wrong. At times she believed that perhaps Vox had slipped her a love potion too.

"Dark blood roast and elixir." Charlie tapped her chin in thought. "I like it! The Cannibal Town coffee shop could add it to their menu!"

Alastor cocked his head in thought as he bent down to plant a kiss to Charlie's forehead. "Darling that is a wonderful idea! I'll be sure to give the idea to Rosie next time I see her."

He joined her at the kitchen table and watched as Charlie downed her creamer with a splash of blonde roast. Alastor could never understand how someone could drink that sugar concoction and call it coffee, but if Charlie desired it he would gladly tolerate it. She gave him a toothy grin as she ate a piece of toast from her breakfast plate. 

"You need to let me make you my breakfast sometime." Alastor offered. 

"No offense Alastor, but bloodied deer doesn't sound too appetizing to me." 

He rolled his eyes. "I'm not talking about that kind of breakfast. I could make you a classic New Orleans breakfast! You seem to have taken a shine to my dinner so why not?"

Charlie's mouth began to water as she thought back to the delicious dinner Alastor had prepared for her. It began to water more when she remembered what came afterward.

"You make a good point! As long as uh," Charlie scooted closer to him and leaned in to whisper. "dessert could be had upstairs."

Alastor felt his face get hot at the sudden visuals that flooded his mind. He was slightly embarrassed to admit that him and Charlie had been going at it like rabbits for the past few days and they certainly made it everyone else's problem. The day before they were in the hotel library while they did paperwork for new guests and one thing lead to another which resulted in Angel walking in and seeing Charlie bent over a table. Of all the people he would choose to walk in on them, Angel would be the last person. He didn't judge them, certainly no. He gave them advice. 

"You know if you hike her leg up on the table you could get a better angle-"

"Angel out! NOW!" Alastor's voice boomed, the radio static palpable in the air. Angel quickly closed the door but not before giving a quick wink to Charlie.

They agreed to have their relations in Alastor's room going forward.

"Nothing would sound better, my dear." Alastor said as he finished his piping hot coffee. He got up to put his cup in the sink when Lucifer strolled in.

"And a Hellish morning to you both." Lucifer said with a yawn trailing behind. Alastor leaned forward and pressed 'brew' on the coffee maker. He loathed that he knew which roast Lucifer liked and he loathed it more that he brewed him a cup of coffee without thinking twice. Lucifer gave him an appreciative grin as he took his seat to the left of Charlie.

"How'd you sleep princess?" Charlie nodded as she stuffed some scrambled eggs in her mouth.

"Pretty good! Today me and Alastor are going to go for a nice walk through town and when we return we'll speak to the hotel group about...well..."

"You and Alastor being together? Yeah honey I believe that ship sailed when they heard you beg for him to-"

"Ok ok point taken!" Charlie stopped him. Alastor gave a low chuckle as he brought Lucifer's cup of joe and took his own seat to Charlie's right.
