MHOS Part 33: A cannibal knows best

I woke up in Husks bed after he took me home at Peaches request and the tender has increased to a minor but constant burning. I really need to learn how to dial it back.. I just finished healing. I start to slide off the bed and Husk grabs me and hugs me tighter. He kisses my neck and growls in my ear "I'm not finished with you yet" I get pulled back into his arms, into his bed and I roll over to face him.

I slide my arms around him and kiss him deeply as he rolls on top of me settling between my thighs and slides a hand in my hair. He starts grinding his hips into mine and we grope at each other passionately and just as I feel him sliding one of my legs up his arm we hear a loud crash in the kitchen downstairs.

Husk slumps down on top of me groaning "oh for fuck sakes" in frustration. "I'll be right down Alastor" he bellows as he slides out of bed and gets dressed to greet his uninvited guest. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling knowing that whatever is about to happen.. it's not going to be good. I take a deep breath, get dressed, and head downstairs to see what damage is being done today.

I slide my dress back on and tie the wrap back up as I walk down the stairs and as I look up I see Alastor holding a cup of coffee for me. And Husk picking the clean dish rack full of once clean dishes, back up off the floor. I reach for the coffee, take a sip and keep walking past Alastor to help clean the mess neither Husk nor myself made.

Alastor rolls his eyes and says "Breakfast is ready" as he walks to the table and sits alone waiting for us to follow. Husk tells me to go as he continues to pick up the dishes that now need to be rewashed. I stand up, putting the dishes in my hands into the sink as I grab my coffee and return to the table, sitting beside Alastor to look at the book he has in his hands.

Instead of the book, he offers me a napkin, and as I reach for it he sees the fine line cuts on my forearm. He grabs my wrist and slides the sleeve up my arm to examine the damage. "I thought I told you to take care of those." He hisses as he drops tosses my sleeve back over the cuts. Husk takes the opportunity to say "Relax, they're new" as he walks behind me, kissing me on top of my head and he settles in beside me. Alastor looks down at Husks forearm with matching cuts partially hidden by the rolled up sleeves.

Alastor looks at the plate before me and says "Eat. You need to keep up your strength if you are hunting in new territory today." Husk grabs a fork and stabs some of the breakfast and sticks it in my mouth saying "Something he and I agree on." As I'm chewing he grabs another fork full off my plate, tosses it in his mouth and immediately starts spitting. "What the fuck?" He exclaims as he wipes blood from his mouth.

Alastor says "A cannibal knows best" and chuckles at Husks attempt. It looks like shared cannibalism isn't something Husk and I can do together. Husk grabs his own plate and throws its contents in the trash knowing it's more of the same and begins cooking himself some breakfast.

Alastor takes the opportunity "It looks like you won't have to travel far today my dear, today you will be searching the waters of Lust. And look, you are already at the lakeside.." then he turns his head to look back in the kitchen and says "With Husker."

I want to argue, but I have nothing to argue, I promised all 11 lakes once unless I found the target sooner.. and if we're going clockwise.. Lust Lake makes sense as the second body of water to search.. All I have is "We JUST woke up Al." His eyes scowl as he smiles directly at me and says "Al-astor.. And you've been up long enough for coffee and a LOVELY breakfast that has healed your arms nicely" he says as he grabs my hands and lifts to his mouth and kisses them as he lets the bell sleeves drop down, letting me see the cuts heal in real time.

"Alastor!" I say shocked as I pull my hands back to watch as the cuts heal right before my eyes. I'm not sure if I was more shocked by the healing I was witnessing... or the touching and kissing coming from Alastor in Husks home a second time, but the shock was there.. and he ignored it. "Yes." he says.. voice melting into my soul.. looking into my eyes.. ignoring everything except my correcting how I said his name.

I turned to face the stove with Husk and hold my arms out in front of the both of us. I show Husk as he is cooking breakfast for himself and he puts the spatula down, grabs my hands, slides his hands up my arms and kisses me on the forehead and says, "Good job!" As he observes the cuts healing right along with me.

Alastor cuts off the tender moment by saying "The lake?" I roll my eyes and say "Alastor" properly "We didn't start our search yesterday" I look up at the clock "For another 2 hours" Alastor stands directly behind me, slides his face between Husks face and mine saying "If you want to prolong how much time we spend together by taking your time.." I turn to face him and argue, but his face is too close to mine, I turn my head and his nose grazes my cheek, his lips, brush against mine. He pulls back looking down at my mouth and says "I told you to ask" he's close to lowering his mouth to mine when Husk cuts him off "Well I'm asking you to stop kissing the women I bring to my home.. in my house.. while they are with me.."

Just as it's threatening to be a heated moment I burst into laughter.. "Oh fuck! So this is a whole pattern with you two. Okay, I feel much better!" and I walk out of the house, hoping it's true but running before I get clarity.. laughing. To let them blicker amongst themselves as I dive into the lake to get away from them both.. I mean.. start my search.. of the lake.. for the target.. course.. obviously..
