CHAPTER 2 - DREAM AND REALITY
⚠️WARNING - THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SCENES AND GIFS!!! READ WITH CAUTION!!!⚠️
Warm.
Confident.
Familiar in the way only fantasy can be.
They skimmed over her hips, slow like molasses and just as sticky, pressing into her skin like they belonged there—like they’d paid rent. Fingers trailed up her spine with reverence, mouth grazing her throat, pulling a breathy gasp from her lips as heat coiled deep in her belly.
She didn’t know where they were. Didn’t care. Her world had narrowed to touch, taste, the feel of a body slotting against hers like a sin made manifest.
His voice came next—low, dangerous, velvet wrapping around her rib cage and squeezing.
She was. But it wasn’t fear.
A chuckle echoed in the dark, and lips ghosted over her ear.
“I haven’t even started yet.”
Clothes disappeared like smoke. Her back hit something cool, maybe a mirror, maybe a window. A thigh slipped between hers, firm and demanding, and oh—
She found her tongue entwined in a deep, hungry kiss.
Their bodies still twisted, they fell in the soft, lush bed.
Her body arched on instinct as the both gained momentum...
As she reached her peak, a single voice escaped her throat.

Reality: loud and unsexy.
She stared for a long second. Then groaned into her pillow like it personally betrayed her, her face flushed like a tomato.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*muttering*
Of all the goddamn men in the world… My brain really said yes, let’s get railed by repressed emotional trauma wearing a three-piece suit.
She kicked off her blanket like it had a grudge against her, flopping dramatically onto her back as if it might reset the simulation.
Lucien freaking Calloway.
The man she hadn’t seen in years.
The man who apparently now lived rent-free in her REM cycle, grinding against her brain cells like it was a damn nightclub.
Sera sat up, running a hand through her hair. It was only 6:30 a.m., but sleep had officially been canceled.
She sighed, grabbing her phone.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Mails... Mails... Mails...
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*sigh* Val literally sent me a 30-page essay on Lucian Calloway...
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Seriously!!?
Sera padded to the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face like she was trying to drown the dream.
His voice still echoed. That infuriatingly smooth baritone. That cocky smirk she hadn’t seen in damn years.
And now? She was supposed to protect him?
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
I need a hot shower...
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*slapping her face*
Get your head straight Sera!!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
You are a damn professional!!!
Then stood in front of her closet.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Hmm... What should I wear for the "special" occasion??
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
No need to dress fancy. It's a work meeting.
The usual: combat boots, slim-fit tactical pants, her black compression shirt that hugged her torso just right—and made her look like she could choke a man out and then kiss him breathless.
She paused mid-buttoning, staring at herself in the mirror.
And suddenly, she was a teenager again.
She almost thought of "that" incident again, but the loud shriek of her alarm, snatched her back to reality.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*chuckle* Damn...
She stopped her alarm, and headed for the fridge.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Hmm... Yesterday's pancake batter??? Sweet!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Pancakes, scoop of icecream on top, and strawberries!!! Perfectly heavenly meal!!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Tada!!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Coffee on side!!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Chef's kiss!!!
After breakfast, she started to head out.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Hmm... 33 mins???
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Enough time!!
She tied the laces of her boots, and jumped out of her apartment.
She took the stairs as usual.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Getting down from the 36 th floor, is a damn good exercise.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*humming*
Elira tapped her feet furiously.
Elira Voss/ML'S BFF
She's late!!!
Elira Voss/ML'S BFF
I heard that she was the best in the fields???
Elira Voss/ML'S BFF
Where's her discipline???
Vance Cohell
Calm down, Miss Voss.
Vance Cohell
If Sera is late, then she has a damn good reason for that.
Valerie "Val" Cohell
*nodding*
Yes... Sera is never late...
As if on cue, Seraphina entered.
Her body was covered in black soot.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Oh hey!!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Ran into a "fire emergency"!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Sorry, I'm late babes!!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
Saving a kid comes before... Babysitting...
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*squinting at Elira*
Valerie "Val" Cohell
*death glare at Vance*
Sera!! She's our client!!
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*holding out hand* Seraphina Vale at your service.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
You must be Elira Voss.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
The one hiring me for... "babysitting"??
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
*smirk*
Elira Voss/ML'S BFF
*frown*
Elira Voss/ML'S BFF
*thinking* What the heck!!! Grrr!!! I would've buried her alive, if she wasn't the best out there...
With much disgust, Elira shook Sera's hand.
Seraphina "Sera" Vale/Nyx/FL
To a happy cooperation??
Elira Voss/ML'S BFF
*gritting teeth* To a happy cooperation...
