Y/N POV

You're having a lovely dream.

You dream that you're lying in your bed, but instead of your pets cuddling with you, there's a man under your covers. You shift and shuggle into the covers, and you feel his breath fan across the back of your neck as he sighs happily against you.

His warm body is stretched against yours. His arm snakes around your waist, pulling your back snug against his chest, as his body heat radiates into you. It's so warm and comfortable that you could stay in this dream forever. You realize how much you've missed this—having someone, a human someone, to cuddle with.

His breath tickles the hair at the nape of your neck, and you shift. The movement makes him pull your hips back against his. You suck in a sharp breath as you suddenly realize that he's naked. You're only wearing your usual PJ's—an oversized old T-shirt and panties—so only a single flimsy layer of fabric separates your core from the hard length now pressing up against you.

The thought sends a thrill of excitement through you. This is turning out to be a fun dream.

You squirm, but that only serves to make your ass rub against his hips, dragging his hardness over your core. You shudder as a wave of pleasure spikes through you.

He groans in his sleep. His other arm snakes under you until you're completely trapped in his hold. Slowly, his hand drifts downward, following the slope of your lower abdomen before it dips into your panties. Your breath hitches as warm finger circle your pussy with a possessive touch. A wet dream, indeed. The man of your dreams drives a leg between yours, pushing your thighs open as he rocks his hips against you.

Then his fingers drag through your folds to find your clit. The jolt of pleasure that elicits from you is intense—way too intense to belong in a dream. No, this is real. Way too real.

And just like that, you're wide awake. This isn't a dream after all. Somehow actually a man in your bed, clutching you tightly as he huffs soft, growly breaths against your skin.

You jolt upright, adrenaline driving you up. But his iron grip around you keeps you from escaping the bed. The intruder shifts and grumbles at the interruption, peeling his eyes open. You claw at his arms, and he reluctantly lets go, sounding confused. "Y/N?"

As soon as you're free, you scramble away from him in a panic and end up tumbling to the floor in a messy heap.

The man gets up and rubs his eyes, frowning at you. "Y/N, what's wrong?"

You gape at him. Now that the early morning light from the window is filtering across his features, you recognize the intruder. It's your new friend from the diner. "Cody?!"

"Yeah?" He tilts his head to the side, looking like a confused puppy.

"What the fuck are you doing in my bed?!" you shriek.

"I—" Cody breaks off as his hands pat his naked chest. He looks down, examining his own body, then his eyes grow wide and round. "Oh, shit. I'm human."

"Yeah, and apparently, you're a criminal and a pervert too," you snap, climbing to your feet. "I'm calling the cops."

He jumps up and runs to the door, blocking your way out. He holds up his hands in surrender. "Hold on, please, I can explain."

"I highly doubt that." You glance around the room, wondering where your pets are. It's not unusual for Ash the cat to leave in the middle of the night to roam around the city, but Cody the dog always stays with you at night. Why isn't he here to protect you from this intruder?

"What have you done to my dog?" you demand in an accusatory tone.

He rubs the back of his head awkwardly. "Well, you see...the thing is...uh..."

"He is your dog," says a voice behind you.

You whirl around to find yet another man standing in your bedroom buck-naked. And to your shock, it's the other handsome new friend in your life—Ash, the black-haired student.

"And I should probably mention that I'm your cat," he adds.

"Huh?" is all you can say. You're absolutely dumbstruck by what's happening right now.

"Here, I'll prove it to you," Cody says, and promptly transforms into a golden retriever right before you eyes.

That's the last straw for your poor nerves. You pass out on the spot.
