Synopsis: Rufus, who was sent to a parallel dimension, is followed by his bodyguard (unknown to the TURKS) is forced to reveal herself and assist him in trying to get back in their world. RufusXOC

Rufus then took out the materia tha he carried after the incident at the library. He knew that in forming the contract the materia was necessary. However, he still could not figure out the use of the object. The only thing he knew about it was its connection with Ophelie and dimension travelling. His assistant then gestured to the material that he was holding.

Rufus then nodded in response. He knew that all he needed was to concentrate enough to use it. Considering that the being seems to respond to him in an affectionate manner. It was likely that it would do so again upon summoning. Hence, probably why his assistance's subconscious thought of the need for a bed.

"Summon it" the brunet said in a determined voice

The material then started to glow until it enveloped the room. They both felt a comforting warmth before it turned into an icy wind that chilled them to the bone. As the light dissipated, Rufus realized how tired he was. He then saw his companion lying on the bed. Dark cloth-like wings lay sprawled across the bed. He approached her with caution. He knew that it wasn't his Ophelie that was on the bed but the entity that he encountered at the library.

As he stood above his assistant, he was startled as amber-eyes opened in a haze. His wrist was suddenly grabbed by the entity beneath him. The being then tugged him which caused him to lie above the brunet. The being then grinned and flipped them over which caused the brunet to hover above the blond.

"Is this part of the contract?" the blond asked in a neutral voice as he tried to tug his wrist out of the creature's grasp. Unfortunately, he was too weak from using the material to keep on trying

"Oh this is just the start" the creature replied "Just enjoy the ride"

Rufus remained silent as the creature bound him with the belt he was wearing. He didn't notice that it was able to remove his clothing before it was too late. He now lay sprawled on the bed half-naked. He felt a bit self-conscious as he remembered the bruised that were forming on his skin. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to cloth himself due to being bound.

"Meg" Rufus replied in a hoarse manner "What exactly are you planning to do?"

"Well, that depends on you Mr. Shinra" the creature named Meg intoned "How much power over me do you desire?"

The blond remained silent. He didn't want power over Ophelie. He wanted her as an equal. The reality of the contract had finally sunk in. His assistant would no longer be his assistant. She would be degraded to that of a slave. He then thought of an alternative. Being able to control the creature doesn't actually mean controlling. It just means limiting the power the creature has over Ophelie thus preventing any further incidents such as what happened in the library.

"Just enough power to keep you contained" Rufus groaned at the ministrations he was experiencing. This body was obviously that of a teenager's "And to assist us in travelling back to our dimension"

"That's a tough order" the creature mused "I believe that that amount of power would require a full contract"

Rufus remained silent, having concentrating on considering the idea before asking "What does Ophelie think about it?"

The creature thought for a moment. Its eyes dulling before it replied "She says that it's fine as long as we meet the objective"

"How exactly are we going to do this?" Rufus voice was wavering. Considering the position that he was in, anybody would feel vulnerable

"Did you know that in ancient times the act of copulating was thought to be the joining of two souls?" the creature asked in a sagely voice

Rufus remained silent as the reality of what was about to happen finally sunk in. He knew that he liked his assistant more that he probably should but he didn't want their first time together be out of necessity instead of passion. He knew that she also cared for him. He could see it in her eyes and the way she gazed at him when he thought he wasn't looking.

"Isn't there any other way?" Rufus asked in despair

"There is" the creature replied "however, it will be very painful for both of you. It would involve both of you nearly dying and entering the Lifestream to consummate. Which I believe you prefer more considering that this is not your body"

"What does Ophelie think?" Rufus asked almost sounding lost with the dilemma that he was facing.

The entity thought for a moment before replying "She doesn't care which body you are in as long as it is you"

Rufus almost choked before replying in a determined voice "Untie me"

The creature looked shocked before complying "Does this mean that you would copulate with me"

"Not with you…no" Rufus muttered "I have a condition"

"What is it?" the entity asked, glee coloring its voice

"I want Ophelie to be the one experiencing it" he said in a determined voice, pushing himself up the headboard

The entity smiled before replying "Easily done. Just make sure that a drop of both of your bloods connects with the material after you consummate"

With that the entity took a deep breath and allowed Ophelie to take over. His assistant's eyes cleared and she realized the position she was in. Straddling her employer, she nearly fell out of the bed in her haste to escape. However, her escape was foiled by arms circling around her waist.

"It's alright Ophelie" Rufus said in a soothing manner "Do you want this?"

"I…we have to do this" Ophelie said in a lost voice

"I am asking you" the blond said in a commanding tone "Do you want this?"

"I…" the brunet replied, staring at soft azures "I do"

Her answer was met with a gentle kiss which suddenly grew frantic. She returned the action with gusto, not realizing that her partner's hand was slowly unbuttoning her blouse. They pulled away panting and flushed. The blond then flipped them over gently and brushed a few strands of hair away from his partner's face before kissing her again and continuing to unbutton her blouse. She flushed as he saw her half-naked. She was still self-conscious about her body, especially now that the center of her affection was staring at her with such passion and gentleness at the same time. He then slowly unbuttoned his trousers and slid them off remaining in only his silk black boxers. He then slowly undressed his companion

Once they were completely undressed, Rufus gently caressed his soon to be lover. He wanted her for a long time. He just wasn't able to act on his emotions due the strain that it would put on their relationship as coworkers. Aside from that, he had to remain stoic around her as to protect her from those that wanted to use her against him. But now he had a chance to act on those emotions.

"You can still turn back" the blond said softly "I know that we are a bit in a hurry to leave but we could always try the other method"

"I'd rather not" the brunet said with a smile, putting her hand where his heart resided "Besides, I know it's you. No matter what body you're in. You will still be the man I have fallen in love with"

"I..Ophelie" Rufus tried to reply. He tried to tell her he loved her too but the works wouldn't come out

Ophelie smiled gently and placed a finger in his lips "You don't have to say it. I already know"

With that, they continued with their activity of forming a contract.
