Burning Desire (Alastor X Reader)

Chapter 22: The first flaw in the contract

*

"Oh, you're awake, doll? That's very good! I was so afraid you wouldn't be able to do a second round for a little while! You can't imagine how happy you make me, my sweet Y/N. Now, be a good girl, and scream for me~"

*

You slowly opened your eyes with a little headache.

"Fucking nightmare... "you said in your mind.

*

You looked up at the ceiling, and you noticed quite easily that you weren't in your room.

You immediately felt your heartbeat accelerate. Where the fuck were you?

Before your heart began to race, a little breathing and a small weight on your body drew your attention.

You lowered your head to see Nikolai still asleep on top of you. You smiled in a maternal way while gently stroking his hair.

Oh yes, that's right, you drank a little bit to much so Charlie had insisted that you stay and you must have fallen asleep on the couch.

How rude.

You gently straightened up to avoid waking the little Beagle, however, you noticed with amusement that the smart guy was pretending to be asleep.

*

"You know you're a very bad actor, Niky?" You teased him...

"Mmmmhh stay five more minutes I don't want to get up" mumbled the boy as he huddled up to you.

"You know very well I have to get up, I have a lot of things to do. You, on the other hand, better finish your night in your room. It seems to be very early."

"I like it better when you're around."

"Please, you're not 5 years old anymore."

"I still wish I was five just so you'd stay."

You sighed, then you got up, leaving the little beagle on the couch. You cracked the bones in your neck and then you yawned as you wiped your eyes while looking at the clock in the living room.

It was nearly 7:00.

*

"Yes, you should go back to bed, sweetheart, it's barely 7:00 in the morning. "

"Why don't you go back to bed?"

"Because I work here, I'm not a client. "

"There's nothing to stop you from getting up later. Look at Husk" Nikolaï argue pointing to the cat sleeping on the counter.

"My angel, I'm not Husk, and you know I sent your brother to look for allies who could be useful against Vox if he decided to grant me this interview. »

"Oh, yeah, that's right, I forgot about that square head. Just a tip Y/N... don't mess with him... "

"Do you know him?"

"I saw him once from a distance, he was talking business with a pimp who ran a porn studio. Actually even though he looks like a clown with his screen as a head, I find him much more terrifying than the demonic Bambi, he looks more vicious and calculating, and his partner there ... this pimp, he really scares me Y/N, so please don't get into more trouble..." Nikolai asked with a downcast look.

A painful smile formed on your face as you tousled his hair.

"You know I make it almost every time, sweetheart."

"Yes that's the problem, you don't always make it Y/N..."

"Niky listen to me" You knelt down by the couch and gently took the boy's face in a cup. "Nothing's going to happen to me. I won't die again against scum like them you hear me? I won't give them that pleasure again."
