Chapter 1 The dream

His strong but tender arms yanked her up his desk and she gasped, feeling her cheek turn flutters red.

He had that ability to sweep her off her feet with just a gaze from those dark blue eyes.

His fingers slowly trail around her thighs and she bit her lower lip trying not to moan loudly.

"What do you think you are doing Mr. Tucker"

"I want you, you make my heart feel things that it shouldn't feel, I want to hold you in my arms at all times and protect you, so let me". His reply was in a low tone, his lips brushing through her earlobe as he spoke sending chills down her spine.

She could feel a tickle curled up around her stomach, she wanted this man so badly and she knew it, but he was supposed to be an enemy and she should not be messing with the enemy but could not resist his temptation.

His lips trail down her earlobe down to her collarbone and she moans softly with her soft pink lips tight-lipped.

"I want to taste those soft lips of yours and see how sweet they taste, the sight of it sends my entire body ablaze". He whispered again with his lips slowly trailing around her collarbone.

He was a sweet temptation she could not resist and although he told her how she set his body ablaze while flirting with her, Kaylie could also feel her entire body on fire and wanted this man so badly deep inside of her.

"Kaylie! Kaylie!! Kaylie!!" A loud female voice kept calling out to her while interrupting this sweet sensational moment she was having, she moaned loudly before unfurling her eyes and standing before her was her best friend Jessy.

"Oh! Girlfriend, were you having an erotic dream?"

"What!" Kaylie exclaimed and slowly tilted her head to glance at her environment which she immediately jerked up when she realised that she was at the staff resting room of S.Treck

"What the F! Of all people I could have such an erotic dream about, why did it have to be him". She complained and strode over to the large mirror mounted on one side of the room painted white.

There were traces of sweat on her face and she immediately powdered her face while staring back at her reflection.

"So you were indeed having an erotic dream, tell me who was it about?"

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you"

"Try me"

"The cruel Boss, Austin Tucker!"

"What the hell! Why would you dream about someone you despise so much and desperately want to strangle?"

Jessy occupied the white leather couch by the side and her dark green eyes widened in amusement over her friend's narration.

"I could have had this dream about Kelvin who I desperately want to have this moment with, thank goodness that it was just a dream"

She replied and got on her feet feeling satisfied with her look. "By the way, why did you wake me up?, it is just past nine and you know how many hours I spent standing during the night shift"

"Why do you want to go back to your erotic moment with the boss" Jessy teased and giggled loudly but Kaylie blushed as she threw a pillow at her.

"Naughty girl, I would have that moment with anyone else but not with him in my entire lifetime"

"That is your issue, not mine, Your phone kept ringing and it was disrupting my sleep so I had to wake you up"

"Oh! It is my father who called" Kaylie picked up her phone and glanced at the screen before dialling his number.

He has never called or is interested in her whereabouts but he was suddenly calling her today and this made her feel a variety of excitement and anxiety.

"Hello, Father!" She spoke once the call pulled through.

"Kaylie, where are you?" He inquired in a deep voice which made her pissed that he could not bother to ask about how she was faring.

"I am at work Father"

"I want you to come back home as soon as possible"

"Is there a problem father?"

"Do not ask me that, be at home within an hour!" He commanded and ended the call instantly before she could reply, the sound of the beep pierced her heart deep.

"I can't fathom why you still have hope that one day this man will finally accept you as his daughter"

"He has accepted me as his daughter, he just isn't familiar with me yet considering that I did not grow up with him"

"That is what you want to believe, keep believing that" Jessy shrugged and slid back to bed.

"I have to go, he asked that I be there in an hour"

"Alright, but remember to be back in three hours because your shift starts then and you do not want to see Ms Lilian's bad side"

"I will be back before you even blink an eye". She replies, picking up her purse and striding out of the room.

The air around the large Mecham mansion was silent and gloomy as Kaylie walked in, one that the sound of a pin would be heard clearly.

The mansion was an extravagant one with expensive interiors and decorations, a set of expensive leather couches at the centre of the living room and on the wall were portraits of the entire family except for Kaylie hung there and some pieces of artwork.

The flower pot at the centre of the table was emanating a sweet aroma of rose and filled the room with a relaxing air and yet Kaylie could not relax with their long and dark gaze at her.

Her stepmother Mrs Rosellle sat beside her husband Jones and their daughter was engrossed in her phone and did not realize Kaylie walked in until she spoke...

"Father good day, what was so urgent that you needed me here in an hour?"

"Is that a sound of groaning I hear there, are you complaining?" The brows of the middle-aged woman with light skin that was almost glistening furrowed while she spoke.

"I am sorry Mother if it sounded like a complain"

"I warned you, do not ever refer to me as your mother, your mother is dead and it was her evil deed that murdered her" Roselle exclaimed and there was a wide smirk spread around Bella's thin lips.

"I am sorry ma" She apologized calmly although her hands were clinched firmly behind her back.

"Kaylie, how is work?" Mr. Jones finally spoke and Kaylie felt a tickle of excitement in her heart like this was all she ever wanted, for him to just glance her way even for a while.

"I am fine Father, thanks for asking"

"Well, you will be getting married and it is today" He exclaimed sternly and she could not help but chuckle lightly at the words that sounded like a joke but no one had that look on their face and fear immediately curled up her stomach afraid of who her father might want to sell her out to.
