Making out with her lover inside her workplace is never a part of her wild imagination. "You know, you're a bad influence..." she managed to say despite his ceaseless smooches. "You're distracting me from my work." "Oh, so it turned out that my beloved's career is my strongest competition around here, after all," he mused out loud with an amused smirk to which she only giggled. "Perhaps, it is." "Too bad for it, though. I've got the upper hand." "Oh, really? How so?" "Well for one, it can't do this." That's when he hoists her up and places her on top of her office desk out of nowhere, making her squeal in surprise. Taken aback, she just returns his knowing look with a baffled one. He then begins kissing her once more - deeper than ever. His arms are tightly locked around her waist while her hands are now splayed across his broad shoulders. She's having a hard time repressing her moans on this one, especially when he seems to be getting better and better at it every time their lips connect. She already had a strong feeling about this when they first did it last night, but his touches, lips and warmth - they're all so intoxicating that she completely forgot again that they're still inside her office. --- Synopsis --- Love and dreams don't just fall from the sky - there are tears to be shed and things to be made right.

Had Alexander known that the fairies would react erratic and tumultuous the moment they heard the news about their Chosen's abduction and the possibility that dark magic was involved here, he would've just shut his trap and keep his own feelings from going berserk.
It just turned out that after a troop of imperial knights arrived at the studio to inform him of his apprentice's kidnapping and all the other details that conclude this terrible turn of events, he almost had an outburst. He was in a state of denial at first, thinking that nothing could have possibly gone wrong with the way he's working hard everyday just to keep her safe.
But then, something did go wrong.
Alexander felt his insides churn in apprehension and dread after learning the news. Considering that even a powerful magic wielder like the Duke's son failed to keep Lillian safe despite guarding her day in and out, it could only mean that their opponents are no ordinary criminals.
