Two weeks after Offred gave birth to Nicole, Serena gave her her request and shipped her off to another district; Fred wasn't so happy about it, but Serena had the final say. Their household was even smaller now, their Handmaid was gone, and unfortunately, Eden was gone. Eden's death really shook up Serena, but she soon got over it once she realized Nick was a free man again; No Offred, and no Eden. Now that he had more time to spare, Nick was working around the house more, which gave Serena the perfect opportunity to shoot her shot again, since her first attempt at seducing him didn't go so well.

One afternoon when Commander Fred was in town at a meeting, Serena spotted the Guardian outside, so she called him inside, she wanted to apologize for everything that took place the last few weeks. At first Nick was reluctant to join her, but again, he knew he didn't have a choice but to obey.

At the kitchen table, she saw the worried look on Nick's face, which was amusing to her.

"Don't be nervous, just relax, I'm not going to try anything", she assured him.

"What do you want Mrs. Wa_,", Nick caught himself, "what do you want Serena?", he said with a peeved tone.

"So you remembered? Yes, call me Serena, but only when we're alone. Anyways, I just wanted to apologize for my behavior that night, that was so out of character for me. Also, I'm sorry for what happened to Eden, I know that she was a good wife to you, and for Offred, being sent away, I knew she meant a lot to you."

"You knew she meant a lot to me, but yet you shipped her off."

"That was her request, not mine."

"She wanted to stay with Holly, you knew that."

"Her name is Nicole. I named her after her dad, you." Serena smirked, giving Nick an intense look. Nick swallowed hard. "She looks just like you, she has your dark hair, your dark eyes, and your cute button nose; Luckily, she took after you in the looks department", she giggled. That was her way of insulting June.

"Thanks for the apology, but I think I should be leaving now", Nick rose to his feet.

"Wait, don't you want to see your daughter? I put her down for a nap, but let me get her for you."

Nick sat back down, he waned to see Holly. Serena came back in the kitchen with a swaddled baby girl, cooing away; Nick's eyes lit up.

"She turned one month yesterday, can you believe it? Here, you can hold her."

"I don't know if I can", Nick replied, he was hesitant.

"Fred's not here, don't worry. Here", she placed the baby in his arms.

Holly smiled up at him, and latched her tiny hand around Nick's index finger. Nick's eyes watered, he was so happy. "She's so beautiful, Hi Holly", he whispered softly, caressing her soft little hand.

Serena's smile turned into a frown up when he called the baby Holly again instead of Nicole, but she just stayed quiet and let him enjoyed the moment. The baby soon started to whine and wiggle around in Nick's arms.

"She must be hungry, give her to me", Serena commanded.

Nick passed the baby to Serena and stood up to leave, "I should get going, thank you so much for this time."

"Wait, this won't take long, please sit, you can spend more time with her after I'm done feeding her." Serena then opened up the front of her dress and pulled out her breasts. She didn't just pull one, she pulled out both breasts; she knew what she was doing. The baby girl latched on to one, but the other was left exposed.

Nick turned his head, trying not to look. "I shouldn't be here, I should give you your privacy."

Serena ignored him as the baby cried out, she wasn't getting any milk. "Oops, I almost forgot I can't produce milk, excuse me as I grab a bottle." Serena went to grab a bottle out of the fridge, but instead of putting her breasts away, she kept them out. "She likes to have skin to skin contact when I feed her", was the excuse she gave.

very uncomfortable because he didn't know if the Commander would walk in any minute or not; he kept looking over his shoulder, she out him in another awkward situation. He tilted his head to the floor to avoid staring at her breasts, but he couldn't help but glare out the corner of his eye. Serena smirked at his gawking; she knew her plan would work.

A few minutes later, Rita came into the kitchen with a bucket and rag in her hand. She was taken back when she saw Nick sitting there with Serena, who had her body uncovered. Her eyes immediately shifted to the floor, "I'm sorry, did I interrupt something?", Rita asked.

Serena was pissed, she closed up her dress, "I was just feeding Nicole, that is all", giving Rita an angry glare.

"And I was just leaving", Nick got up and walked to the door. He was embarrassed and felt guilty, but he really didn't do anything.

"Nick", Serena stood, burping Nicole, "thanks again, Blessed day.", she smiled.

Nick gave her a half smile in return, "Blessed Day Mrs. Waterford."

Serena scolded Rita when they were alone. "Make yourself known before you walk into a room, understood!?"

"Yes, Mrs. Waterford." Rita hurried away with her head hung down.

Serena's harsh tone startled the baby, who then started to cry. "I'm so sorry Nicole, Mommy's sorry", she said as she rocked her.

When Nick got back to his quarters, he punched the wall, he was so angry with himself for staying at the table when he knew he should've left, especially when she exposed her chest. However, he was appreciative that she allowed him time with his daughter, so if it meant being uncomfortable (and turned on) in her presence than so be it, his daughter was just that important to him. Honestly, the real reason he was upset was because he secretly enjoyed the attention she gave him, and apart of him liked that she desired him.

Later that night, Nick decided to go for a walk to clear his head, he had alot on his mind these days, especially June, he missed her so much. What made it so bad was that he didn't know what district she was sent to, so he couldn't sneak off and go see her if he wanted to; he even wondered if he would ever see her again. Eden was also on his mind, the way she died was so traumatizing, he had nightmares about it every other night. Guilt took over him on most days, because he knew he didn't treat her the best. She was just a young girl looking for love, and he didn't give it to her.

On the way back to his room, he took the shortcut through the courtyard by the Waterfords' residence. He was walking, smoking his cigarette, and minding his business when he noticed a shadowy figure in the window above behind the curtains, it was a silhouette of Serena, and she appeared to be nude. Nick stopped in his tracks, his mind was telling him to keep walking but his body stood at attention, 'literally'. The curtains opened, and there was Serena, looking down at him, with a mischevious look on her face. Nick noticed she had her long blonde hair hanging down, he rarely saw her with her hair like that, and he liked it. "God, she's hot", he thought. Serena took her towel and wiped up and down her naked, wet body; she was putting on a show for Nick. She then took her towel and started drying off her waxed lady parts below, but it looked as if she was getting off, rubbing her swollen clit instead. The fact that they could both be killed if they were caught, didn't come across his mind at that moment, they were both just enjoying the thrill of it all.

Serena suddenly closed the curtain and backed away from the window, a few seconds later, Nick saw another silhouette appear, it was Commander Waterford. Serena heard him coming up the stairs, so she stopped what she was doing and quickly got dressed. When Nick saw the Commander near the window, he rushed off to his room, he didn't want to be seen, because that would be a death wish.

Once inside his room, he laid across his bed to catch his breath and recollect what just happened. He couldn't believe Mrs. Waterford exposed and touched herself right in front of him. By him standing there to watch, he knew it would only make her bolder with her advances, and he didn't want that...or did he? Nick tried to put his mind on June, to take his mind off Serena, but it wasn't working, the images of her naked body played in his head. Temptation took over Nick, as much as he tried to resist the urge, he couldn't ignore his thoughts or his body, so he unbuckled his black pants, pulled them down, and reached in his boxer briefs, released his hard, bulging, dick, and stroked himself until he came with Serena on his mind.
