As I settle onto the plush stool at the sleek, dimly lit bar of the bustling nightclub, the soft, pulsating glow of neon lights envelops me in an ethereal aura, casting shadows that dance along the edges of the room. My attire, a form-fitting midnight blue dress adorned with intricate lace detailing and a daring plunging neckline, accentuates every curve, commanding attention with its understated elegance.

With a delicate sip of my drink, the deep bass reverberating through the air, I become aware of the hushed whispers fluttering like delicate moth wings, carrying the weight of unspoken desires and clandestine intentions. Men, their eyes flickering in my direction, engage in silent debates among themselves, as if I am the subject of some unseen contest, a coveted prize waiting to be claimed.

As the tension in the air thickens, two distinct sets of footsteps approach, their cadence echoing against the polished floor. Suddenly, the ambient noise fades into a hush as two imposing figures, each exuding an aura of confidence and intrigue, assert their presence at the bar.

The first, a towering figure with broad shoulders and piercing bluish-gray eyes, commands attention with his authoritative stance. His jet-black hair and well-defined features speak of strength and determination, while his intense gaze sweeps over the room, daring anyone to challenge his claim.

Beside him stands another imposing figure, slightly smaller in stature but no less commanding. With warm, soulful brown eyes that betray a hint of tenderness beneath their steely exterior, he exudes an air of quiet intensity. His tousled brown curls frame his angular jawline, adding to his rugged allure, while his gaze, though fierce, carries a hint of vulnerability as it settles upon me.

Their hands, slamming down on the bartop with purposeful precision, send a ripple of anticipation through the air, commanding the attention of all who dare to gaze upon them.

With a voice that resonates with authority, the larger man issues a stern warning, his words laced with a primal ferocity that leaves no room for doubt.

"It's not an empty threat," the other man interjects, his voice resonating with a quiet resolve that belies his rugged exterior.

"It's a promise."

As their gaze shifts towards me, a flurry of emotions swirl within me, mingling with the intoxicating scent of desire and uncertainty. Their names, spoken with a sense of ownership that sends shivers down my spine, hang in the air like a silent declaration of intent.

"Azalea Blackburne belongs to us," the brown-eyed man asserts, his gaze piercing through the haze of confusion that clouds my mind.

"Alexander Wright," he continues, his voice a soothing balm against the chaos of my thoughts.

"And Killian Schiff," the other man adds, his words resonating with a quiet intensity that leaves me breathless.

As they turn their gaze towards me, their silent question hangs in the air, leaving me torn between the familiarity of their touch and the enigmatic allure of their identities. With a flutter of uncertainty, I murmur my consent, my voice barely above a whisper, as I surrender to the tantalizing unknown that awaits.

As the three of us leave the pulsating energy of the nightclub behind, stepping out into the cool night air, a sense of anticipation hangs between us like a delicate thread, ready to unravel at the slightest touch. The city streets, illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights, cast elongated shadows that dance across the pavement, adding to the air of mystery that surrounds us.

As the night wraps around us like a warm blanket, I feel Killian's arms encircle my waist, pulling me close in a protective embrace that sets my heart racing. His touch is firm yet gentle, sending a wave of longing coursing through my veins as I melt into his embrace, feeling the heat of his body against mine.

With Alexander standing behind me, his hands tracing circles on my hips, I lean back into his touch, relishing the comforting presence he provides. It's as if he understands my every thought and desire without the need for words, his touch igniting a fire within me that threatens to consume us both.

As Killian gazes into my eyes with a mixture of longing and regret, I can feel the unspoken promises hanging between us like a delicate thread, ready to unravel at the slightest touch. But before our lips can meet, he pauses, his eyes searching mine for answers that I cannot give.

"We'll see each other again soon," he murmurs, his voice heavy with emotion. And with that, he releases me from his embrace, leaving me with a sense of longing that lingers like a bittersweet ache in my heart.

I awaken with a jolt from the depths of my dream, the remnants of its vivid imagery linger like wisps of smoke in the corners of my mind. Blinking away the daze of sleep, I slowly orient myself to the familiar surroundings of my room, the soft glow of dawn filtering through the curtains casting a gentle warmth over everything.

I blinked a few times to clear the sleepiness from my eyes as I checked the time.

Well, I have to get ready for work anyway. But fuck they were hot and I was finally able to learn their names.

With a groan, I stretch languidly, feeling the tension of the night's restless slumber still clinging to my muscles.

Despite the pounding in my head, a lingering souvenir of the night's tumultuous dreams I got up with a groan I push myself out of bed, my bare feet sinking into the plush carpet as I stumble towards the bathroom.

The sound of running water fills the air as I splash my face with cold water, the shock of its icy embrace chasing away the last vestiges of sleepiness. I go through the motions of my morning routine.

As I dress for work, the events of the dream replay in my mind like a broken record, each detail etched into my memory with startling clarity. The faces of the men, their names whispered like a secret promise, linger at the forefront of my thoughts, their enigmatic allure haunting me like a siren's song.

I grab my coat and my bag. I step out of the house and into the cool morning air, a sense of unease settles over me like a heavy shroud. The feeling of being watched, of unseen eyes following my every move, sends a shiver down my spine, raising the hairs on the back of my neck in silent warning.

I take a cautious look around me looking over every bush and tree trying to see if I could see anything. I make my way to my car.

I start my car and begin driving to work I couldn't stop thinking about Alexander and Killian.

The weight of their names heavy on my tongue as I try to make sense of the inexplicable connection that binds us together. And as I glance over my shoulder, the sensation of being observed lingers.

I peeked up and saw a woman with ginger braids and rich dark brown skin enter my office.

She’s dressed in a flowing, earth-toned outfit with intricate floral patterns amplifying her curves and body nicely as she walks further into my office.

This was my little sister and best friend Calla Gaia Blackburne.

”Something weird happened to me last night.” my little sister, Calla walks up to my desk her hazel eyes shining.

“Are you speaking to me as my sister or co-worker?” I question tilting my head.

“Little sister and it's practically lunch.” She pointed out sitting in one of my chairs pulling an extra box of Tupperware out for me and I smiled slightly.

Calla’s been going through the same thing I have. Having dreams about different men in different scenarios.

It’s so strange.

“They finally told me their names.”

I raise my brows waiting for her to tell me, “Lux, Lucian, Caspian, Juniper, and Quinn. They were all fine as shit Azalea.” She giggled and swung her feet.

Two names sounded familiar, but maybe it was a coincidence?

“Lux and Lucian?” I questioned looking up, “Oh shit I forgot to tell you this the other day!” I shouted which made Calla furrow her eyebrows at me.

“The names you said are the same ones as the CEOs and next month they're visiting the departments and such to meet people.”

Calla shrugged, “I’m guessing they're the hot fuckers people on the floor keep talking about.”

I laughed at her wods, “Yes. They're supposed to be promoting someone when they come in.”

I saw pick her head up tilting her head, “Oh? Do you know who or the what the position is?”

“They've asked me to pick some candidates I feel like would be a great fit. It's a receptionist job but whoever working as the receptionist is also their personal assistant.”

“And you picked people from this floor?” Calla’s jaw slightly dropped in disbelief.

“The only candidate I offered to them was you, Calla.” I deadpanned, “Not because you're my sister, but because you're not going to give a shit if they're hot or not. You're very focused and trustworthy.” I shrugged as I looked away from her gaze instead playing with my food.

“You mean it?” I gave her a side look and nodded seeing her poke out her bottom lip, “Thank you, Zee!”

“They asked other people in the other departments so good luck.” I gave her a two-finger salute and smiled, “But no problem, and I hope you get it.”

She smiled back at me before continuing to eat

I smile to myself. What my lovely sister doesn't know is that our bosses already picked someone and they have picked her to be their new secretary.

When they come back to the office next month Calla will know she got promoted.
