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.
Kaylie stopped laughing, the smile that once spread around her pretty face was replaced with a deep frown.
"What are you saying, father?"
"Several years ago, I made a pact with a very wealthy family after they helped me with my business, I promised them that my daughter was going to get married to their son and now that he is of age, they are requesting for their bride else they are going to pull out all their support on my business"
"who still operates a business like that in such an era, father Bella is your legitimate daughter and should be the one getting married over the pact you made and not me"
"How dare you mention my name! It looks like you have grown some wings!" Bella who got on her feet yelled out, a frown still lingering around Kaylie's face as she clung to her purse firmly, her eyes glaring hot at Bella.
"Why can't you marry him, you all claim to be the legitimate child while I am not, it is your turn to be legitimate so do so!"
"That is enough! Bella can't get married to a ruthless man like Austin Tucker else he might hurt her because he is too dangerous"
Mr. Jones explained and Kaylie could not help but scoff sarcastically.
"You want me to get married to Austin Tucker and yet Bella can't because he is a dangerous man who killed my mother and hurt her yet, I should be the one who gets hurt and perhaps dies"
Even as the words slid out of her mouth, she could feel an intense pain clutching her chest, she had always known that he never loved and cared about her, but each day there were traces of hope that he was going to come around, she badly needed a family and through that he was going to be, but at the end, all those dreams were crashed in an instant.
"Kaylie there is no time to banter words with you, the wedding is in an hour at the court house and he expects you to be here on time"
"Why is that? I need to get ready properly for a wedding.... " She could not complete her words as there was a loud giggling between the two women at her words.
"My dear Kaylie, there will be no wedding, you just need to get there and sign the marriage certificate, that way Mr Tucker can fulfil his father's last wish"
Roselle explained and chuckled loudly again.
"Alright Father, I will do it, if that is what makes you and every other person in this house happy, I will be on my way".
Roselle was almost startled at her reply as she stormed out of the house, her heart filled with so much pain while she promised herself that she was no longer stepping on her feet in this house ever again.
Once outside the mansion, she got hold of a cab and immediately hopped in, within a few minutes, they had arrived at the courthouse and she hurried inside.
Inside the courthouse were for people who seemed so anxious, a middle-aged woman with fair and smooth skin that glittered was dressed in a floor-length designer gown and with the hem of the dress, anyone with a fashion sense could tell that this dress cost her a fortune.
The other was a young pretty girl whom Kaylie recognised immediately, it was Ms. Lizzy her boss at the office, the other person seated at the courthouse was a middle-aged man whom she recognized as the register at the court, house and her eyes immediately landed on the last person who seem so anxious trying to adjust his necktie.
She had never seen him before, but those set of deep dark blue eyes gave him away, his hair was thick dark curly and styles sideways, he had the perfect nose that was pointed till the tip, and his wide lips seemed soft and red and as she pierced her eyes at him, she could feel her heart leap with excitement which got her worried.
He was an enemy she was meant to take out and she knew that this marriage was her way of sending him to hell.
"Are you the bride?" He inquired with those thick and full lashes sweeping her off her feet.
"Yes... Yes... I am Ms. Kaylie Mecham"
"Is she the one, that is quite disappointing because I thought the Mecham family were well off and I was expecting something more sophisticated".
Lilian expressed and made a disappointed sound with her mouth as she stared down at the plain shirt and black skirt that she wore that hung around her curved figure firmly.
"Nevertheless, She is pretty, so let us get going" The middle-aged age woman Mrs Jane expressed and they hurried over to the register while Austin still had his gaze pierced at her.
The marital vows went quickly with Mrs. Jane and Lilian as witnesses while Kaylie could not stop checking out her time.
The rings were exchanged Austin had not taken his gaze away from her even for a moment which was getting her uncomfortable as a tiny trace of heat had appeared through her poreshole.
They went ahead to sign the marriage certificate and once they were through, Kaylie was about to dash off the courtroom but he immediately grabbed her hand, stopping her from taking any step forward.
"Hey! Where are you rushing to, we just got married!" He exclaimed and cold sweat ran down her spine as his gaze tendered on her.
"I am sorry Sir, but I have to get to work"
"Oh! Okay, but how are you? "
"What!"
"No... I mean.... You know the way home right?" He stuttered, although that wasn't the words he wanted to say but he quickly recalled that she wouldn't remember him because she was unconscious that day.
"Yeah! Of course, I know the way to the Tuckers mansion, how could I not". She replied sensitively her thought drifted to that faithful day when she was there and pleaded with every ounce of strength she had in her but the same people standing before her were so cruel and almost murdered her but she survived and came back for them.
"Great! How about I drop you off since you are in a hurry"
"No Sir, you do not have to worry about that, I will be fine"
"Sir you say, I am your husband now and I insist". She was rushing outside and he kept trying to keep up with her pace while the two other women slowly followed behind.
"I am sorry Sir, but I was just tucked into a marriage with someone that I knew nothing about, you don't expect me to be informal with you"
"Oh yeah"
"Good, I will be off to work now and will get back to the mansion once I drop off from work".
She explained and before he could say another word, she had halted down a cab and rushed over to it while Austin stood there staring at this pretty lady he just got married to but did not bother glancing his way even for a moment.
"Were you flirting with her just now?" Lilian stood by his side as he watched the cab speed off the street of Spring Forte.
"What! No, I wasn't flirting, I just thought that perhaps she recognized me from years back"
"So you are acquainted with her?"
"Something of that sort, I have just been curious after the incident that day to know if she survived and I am glad she survived and she is by my side now".
A cold smile appeared on his lips as he strutted to his car and hopped in.
*****
Kaylie was lucky enough and arrive at work before her next shift and quickly rushed to the dressing room where Jessy was getting dressed.
"Kaylie! Thank God you are here, I was going to call you, What took you so long?"
Kaylie exhaled loudly trying to calm her breath that was rising and falling rapidly before she spoke.
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you what happened"
"What, did he agree to give you some part of his wealth?" Jessy teased and Kaylie glared at her
"Of course, I am teasing, so tell me what happened?"
"I got married" She exclaimed showing her the wedding ring on her fourth finger.
"Is this some sort of joke, is That how people get married, you just go out and come back married?" Jessy asks and chuckles loudly.
"It is no joke, Jessy, I got home and it turned out that my father had an agreement with the Tuckers when they invested in his business, he was supposed to marry Bella but she refused, so they called me to replace her"
"What! This feels like fiction.... Wait a moment, did you say the Tuckers, as in Austin Tucker?".
"Yes! I just got married to Austin Tucker"
"No fucking way! Of all men why did it have to be the one you despise so much, have you told Kelvin about it"
"Not yet, but I intend to do so once I get off work" Kaylie explained as she got dressed in the hotel's attendant uniform, a pink long-sleeve shirt and a blank skirt above her knee with her flowery design at the breast side of the shirt that is carefully tucked into the skirt.
The uniform was carefully ironed and their dress suited the quality of such a seven-star hotel.
S. Treck has been the highest hotel in Forte town for years now due to its excellent services, best room service, and not to mention, good relaxation area and restaurant.
The Subsidiaries under S. Treck are their large boutique and shopping mall that has been the highest in the country for years and are careful when selecting their staff.
Kaylie had to apply there three times before she finally got accepted since then, she has been hoping to slowly crawl up the chain of success until she gets to the level where she can finally begin to get her revenge on the Tuckers and take away everything that gives them the right to brutalize people whom they think are beneath them.
Kaylie spent the entire day attending to guests at the hotel and serving them their every need, she was standing the entire day, and by the time she got off work, she was fully exhausted.
Kelvin sat in his blue Ferrari outside S. Treck waiting for Kaylie because he was familiar with her work timetable and knew when she would be getting off work.
Not long after, Kaylie strides out of the large glass door of the Hotel and seeing the blue Ferrari that she was so familiar with, a wide smile spread across her lips.
"Kevin! You are here!" She exclaimed and hopped into the other side of the car seat of the car and embraced him warmly.
"How was work pretty?"
"Hectic as usual, I was going to call you because there is something that I needed to tell you"
"is it about the marriage with my cousin, am aware" She widened her balls at his reply.
"You knew about this and didn't think that it was proper to inform me"
"I am sorry, but I only heard about it today, they were in a hurry about it and I could hear my Aunt whispering about how they needed an heir as quickly as possible"
"And who is going to give them an heir, me?"
"Yes, Kaylie, that is why I came, you do understand that this is a very good opportunity for us right?"
"Yeah, I know that I can finally get closer to the family and be able to reveal all of their dirty secrets to the public, but I am never letting that man touch me, talk more of bearing an heir for him"
"Austin is a very dangerous man who won't hesitate to abuse you and if you end up killing him before we execute the plan, then everything might go south"
"Are you saying that I let him touch me?"
"You are married to him now, you can avoid him as much as you can but then we need to get you pregnant as quickly as possible"
"Kevin! What are you saying today, this is not the plan, you know how much I despise that man and you want me to let him have sex with me, I can't"
"Then let me get you pregnant, we will be getting married after all this, so it is only right that our baby takes over the Tuckers' wealth".
"No! I do not care about the Tuckers or their money and I am not going to bring a child forth into this world to be involved in some scheme".
"Are you saying this right now, your mother was brutally murdered by these same people and you were almost murdered too if I hadn't arrived on time that day, you would be dead and you feel so much compassion for them, the money belongs to you, your mother worked so hard for then yet she wasn't paid a dime, you should be interested in their wealth"
He yelled out but Kaylie threw her face to the other side with her hands clasped together vehemently declining his suggestions.
"I am sorry Kevin, but I do not care if they need an heir, once I get into that mansion, they will be so busy fighting to keep their reputation and will forget everything about an heir"
She replied and a smile curled up his lips as he tilted his head closer to her and his lips found their way to her lips.
"Come here baby, you don't need to be so uptight"
"Kevin have put everything on the line, I even agreed to marry that lunatic just for this and sometimes I fear that my quest for revenge might slowly begin to consume me"
"As long as I am here, it won't consume you, all this will be over soon, I promise and we can finally start up a beautiful family where you can open up a restaurant and become the chef that you have always wanted"
He assured her and his lips found their way to hers again as he kiss and suck her lips passionately while she moan softly.
"I love you so much Kaylie and I promise that I will never let the Tuckers hurt you ever again".
"I know, and I love you too". She replied and rested her head on his chest.
They sat like that for a while in the car watching people of high social class come and go out of S. Track and while Kevin watched the enormous fifty-storey building that was made with glass, all he dreamed and wished for was the day when he finally gets to become the CEO of S. Treck.
Kevin dropped her off at the one-room apartment that she was squarting with her friend and Jessy who was back home helped her pack her things, her gloomy mood inside as the two friends were silent and sad.
"Does it mean that I won't get to see you again, who will make dinner for me after work, you know how much I hate to cook"
"I am sorry Jessy, but you will have to learn, it is not like I was going to be here forever, besides you might also get married soon and have to cook once in a while."
"I will never cook no matter who I get married to and you know it, try to come back here on weekends and make me your delicious home-cooked meals"
"I can't promise anything, but I will try"
"Careful at the Tuckers mansion and do not do anything that will put you in trouble, if it gets too hard and abuses you, do not endure it, come back home because this is your home and no matter how small it is, you will always find peace here"
Jessy advised as tears rolled down both their cheeks and they embraced each other so firmly like their lives depended on it.
Kevin who was waiting outside did the heavy lifting of carrying her bags to his car with Jessy strolling behind them, traces of tears still visible in her eyes.
Once everything was settled, Kaylie hopped into the car and he drove off to the Tuckers' mansion and dropped her off at the gate before he could be seen by anyone from the mansion.
