“Cool. And thanks.”
“I will try. I have to be in another meeting so… catch you later?”
“Sure.”

Ever since Kevin's dad passed on a couple of years back, Kevin was forced to stop touring the world so that he could come home and take care of his dad’s money. Since he was the only heir, he felt as though he had an obligation that needed to be fulfilled and he had no other choice but to oblige.
And in the spirit of settling down, Kevin thought it would be an incredible idea for him to find a good model for him to marry. But she turned out to be a gold digger of the highest order and the marriage didn’t last. So Kevin decided to put an end to the settling down ambitions that he had.
But even so, he couldn’t stop admiring the kind of lives that most of his friends were living, going to parents’ meetings, and attending recitals and plays that their children were casted in and though he didn’t show it, Kevin always wanted to have a normal life.
When his father was still alive, Kevin had a chance at being normal when he visited other countries where his face wasn’t on the news. And needless to say, he loved every single bit of it. And just before he could get to decide for his future, Kevin was left with no other choice but to get back to his father’s ranch in Texas and take over from where he left off.
And now that he was back in the United States and the man filling his father’s shoes, Kevin never had the opportunity to enjoy life the way he should have. And not a single day passed without him reminiscing about just how life was incredible. But after a while, Kevin decided to accept his fate and step up.
The monotony of staying in the ranch made Kevin tired. And so he thought it would be a good idea if he took a nap before flying to New York in his chopper for a meeting about one of his father’s – now his– companies. At first, Kevin thought that life was very hectic and that he wasn’t going to survive. But as time went on, he learnt to accept the life the way it was and it wasn’t as bad as he thought.
As soon as he found a comfortable spot, Kevin closed his eyes. There was some soul music playing from the background and that made him fall asleep as soon as his eyes closed.
Since he had been missing having a genuine relationship, Kevin couldn’t help drifting back to the beautiful islands of Hawaii and dreaming about that beautiful model he dated for a short period of time. Vienna was her name. Kevin had a thing for her caramel skin and that made him a little bit in love with that girl.
Vienna was a retired model and had opened a small shop at the beach selling wine and spirits and that was how Kevin met and fell in love with her. But in his dream, Kevin always remembered the day that he first hooked up with her. She was the most perfect woman he had ever been with and he didn’t want to stop making love to her.
Lately, Kevin had been having the recurring dreams but the problem was that he was seeing another woman in place of Vienna and to make matters even more interesting, Kevin loved each and every single bit of even though he never had met this woman.
Sometimes Kevin would wake up and try to remember the face that he had dreamt about and tried to remember it. But she was definitely someone he had never met before. And today, just like in many of his previous dreams, Kevin found himself on the beach lying with his face looking up as though he was trying to reminisce over something.
The caramel-skinned girl came over to where Kevin was sleeping and gave him a couple of grapes. Kevin loved grapes and couldn’t stop moaning as he crushed the fruits in between his teeth, releasing the mouth-watering juice from them. Kevin then looked up to see her face and smiled at how beautiful she was.
As Kevin wanted to keep on talking, the mysterious woman placed her finger over his lips and he stopped. She then ran her fingers all over Kevin’s well-sculpted abs and he held his breath, getting to enjoy the incredible sensation that spread all over his body.
The sweet lady then asked him to close his eyes right before she started massaging his shoulders as lovingly as she could and this made him very relaxed.
“Please don’t stop. Just keep doing what you're doing with your magic fingers. I really do appreciate it… oh yeah.”
The beautiful girl didn’t say anything in response. She just smiled and kept on rubbing his abs before sliding her hands down and started massaging his incredibly built chest. The hair on his chest really turned her on and she didn’t really want to stop. She could feel him starting to breathe as deep and slow as possible and that could only indicate that Kevin had been turned on.
She then started rubbing him on the abs once again and as soon as she did that, Kevin asked her to keep up since he was feeling as though he was on top of the world. She smiled once again and continued rubbing his tummy, going a little bit south this time round.
She reached at his waist and started toying with his boxer line and this tickled Kevin a little. But all Kevin did was smile and didn’t resist her. He just lay there and allowed for her to proceed and do something about it. And as she delved her finger into his boxers, she could see that Kevin’s cock was hardening a little bit. She couldn’t really help a smile splashed across her face.
Finally, the mystery woman slipped her hand into his boxers and got a hold of the hard cock that was pointing towards the sky. She skillfully went ahead and started massaging the shaft and rubbing the cock in an up and down motion, making it even harder.
“Remove my boxers so that you can suck me,” Kevin demanded with his eyes still closed.
Kevin then lifted his ass from the ground and allowed for the woman to remove his boxers. She then went ahead and settled on the cock once again and continued rubbing it. She spat on it and then put her hands around it, spreading the stickiness all over the shaft that wouldn’t just go down.
Then the moment that Kevin had been waiting for came. The beautiful woman skillfully unclipped the bra that she was wearing, freeing her round, youthful boobs onto Kevin’s face. He quickly smelled the pair of fresh boobs hanging over his face and instinctively pulled out his tongue and opted to have them sucked into his mouth, but he just couldn’t.
Finally, Kevin was able to trap a hanging nipple in between his lips and started sucking on it, giving his mystery lady something pleasurable in return.
“You are very beautiful you know…have we met anywhere? I’m asking because in as much as I try to remember, I just can't. But I know I have met you somewhere because you look so familiar.”
“Thank you and yes, we have met. Not in the past, but in the future…”
“Wait…please…” Kevin tried to call her but the dream was fading.
This only occurred when he was done dreaming and it was time to wake up. He hated these moments. Kevin wanted to say something but the girl was already gone. He woke up feeling a little bit disappointed. His stomach rumbled as loud as possible and the first thing Kevin thought about was going to the kitchen and having something to eat.
Kevin went into the kitchen and tasted the food. It wasn’t the way Nancy used to cook it and that drove him very crazy. Thankfully, Kevin wasn’t the kind of person who would yell at anyone just because he was worth billions. So he took a deep breath and stepped outside the balcony and took out his gold plated iPhone and dialed a number.
Adrian Johnson was already a couple of miles from the Powell Ranch – which actually took an hour to cross – and was surprised that Kevin called him. It was always customary for him to make the calls. This must be a very big emergency, Adrian thought as he picked up and pressed the receive button.
On arriving home, Adrian couldn’t find his sister and had to call her phone just to find her.
“Your sister isn’t around. You can always check on her at her place.”
“Mom, this is urgent. And I would have done so but I have another meeting that I have to attend to which I am already late. Can you find her and tell her it’s an emergency?”
“Boy, I am your mother. Why won’t you go ahead and do it yourself? As a matter of
fact, I’m busy!”
“Busy doing what, Mom? You're retired!”
“I’m busy trying to ignore you!”
“MOM!!!”
“Say please…”
“PLEASE!!”
“Okay… you twisted my arm. I will go.”
“Thank you. Tell Tamara that it’s very important.”
“I think you already said that…”
Adrian knew it was pointless getting into an argument with his mother. So he just bent over and kissed her on the forehead. And after that, he was gone. Mrs. Johnson put down her knitting, picked herself up and headed to Tamara’s house.
Tamara was already holding Kennedy by the time she got there and she was a little bit sorry that her daughter had to deal with so much at such a young age. So she delivered the news and took Kennedy away from her, giving her time to rest.
Tamara finally woke up from her nap just in time to hear the phone ring for the umpteenth time. She wanted to ignore it as usual but decided to pick it up since it might have been something important.
“I’m surprised that you picked your phone up. This should be a cause for celebration.”
“Can you just get to the point already? I’m tired as hell and I want to go get a shower and sleep some more.”
“Okay, princess… I have an incredible job opportunity for you.”
Chapter 3
-The Hookup-
Tamara wasn’t sure about having to move into the countryside for a number of reasons. One, she didn’t know if the work she was being offered was going to be on a permanent basis or if it was temporary. Secondly, she had Kennedy to take care of and she didn’t think it would be a nice place to raise a kid on a ranch.
Adrian looked at his younger sister and paused for a couple of minutes, not knowing what to really say to her.
“Are you sure there are other kids on the ranch? I don’t want my son growing up to be a lonely kid. It affects kids you know.”
“I think you're just scared of some change. Look, all you need to do is go ahead and get at it. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime. All you need to do is embrace the challenge and be great. That’s all the job is all about. You don’t need to panic over nothing, really.”
“I don’t know, Adrian, I still have my doubts. But I will try. If anything goes wrong I will blame you for it… and you know I will!”
“And that's fine by me.”
And that was how they agreed to experiment with the new job. If Tamara didn’t like it or didn’t feel comfortable on any occasion then she would get to pull out at any time. But Adrian knew how hardworking and talented his younger sister was and knew she wouldn’t fail to impress Kevin with her cooking.
After having a conversation with Kevin, Adrian told his sister that she was expected to start after a week and it was agreed that he was going to take her. Tamara thought she would leave Kennedy with her mom for a while and also focus on her studies while she was cooking for the billionaire cowboy. So for the remaining days of that week, all she did was wind up her coursework and prepare to leave.
Kennedy wasn’t happy when his mom decided to leave and as it was the little one’s nature, he made everyone aware of that. Kennedy kept on crying for his mom and it made it really hard for Tamara to leave him. But she didn’t really have a choice if she was to improve their life for the better. So she just had to leave.
***
As Tamara drove with Adrian, she didn’t say anything. Adrian was always the kind of person who enjoyed pep talks, especially during long drives but at the moment, he saw that Tamara wasn’t in the mood for talking and decided that he wasn’t going to pester her to do just that. Tamara watched the wide ranches as they drove into Texas. She couldn’t help but notice just how amazing those houses looked.
“I just don’t believe it. Does all this land belong to one family?” Tamara asked, finally breaking the silence.
“Correction, it belongs to one man. And it stretches all the way to the horizon.”
“Life is so unfair.”
“It always is. And to make matters even worse, this isn’t the biggest ranch in Texas. As a matter of fact, it’s among the very small ones. I bet you will get surprised when we reach our destination.”
“And just how do you get to meet with these filthy rich cowboys?”
“I’m a real estate lawyer and these guys love to invest in real estate. So I guess I’m a little bit lucky.”
Tamara couldn’t say anything else. She just shook her head since she knew just how much her brother loved to boast when it came to knowing the most influential people in America. And once again, the silence resumed as they took a couple more turns and finally, they got to the stretch which is known by the natives as the Powell stretch.
“Now this is what your boss owns,” Adrian began, pointing through the window with a broad smile across his face.
Tamara couldn’t help but stare outside the window and her mouth dropped to her lap. She couldn’t see the horizon because of the vegetable and fruit fields. Then on the other side of the road was a ranch with horses and other livestock. Tamara just got inkling of the kind of person that she was going to work with and she couldn’t stop wondering just how lucky she was to have this opportunity.
“And you say that he is still a humble man? So how filthy rich is he for real?”
“He's definitely worth billions,” Adrian responded, with his eyes still on the road.
Tamara started feeling a little bit disturbed by this knowledge. How would a multibillionaire want to work with her? Couldn’t he just fly a Cordon Bleu chef from France to come and work for him? But then again Tamara thought it would be a good opportunity for her to prove herself and even get a chance at a good life. She knew that she needed the money so bad and nothing was going to stop her from doing just that.
Finally, the coupe stopped at a big gate with conspicuous P Initials written all over the place and it was such an amazing scene. After identifying himself on the security intercom, the gate opened and Adrian drove in as swiftly as possible.
He finally pulled up to a magnificent driveway which was overseen by a gigantic mansion. It looked as though it was made in the eighteenth century but was still in form. Tamara couldn’t stop staring at how palatial the place was but couldn’t say anything.
“Let me call him and see if he’s home.”
With that, Adrian picked up his phone and made the call. A couple of minutes later, a servant came to the front door and politely asked them to come in.
“He has been waiting for you, sir.”
“Thank you very much.”
Adrian then gestured at his sister who seemed to be taken aback by the incredible flamboyance of the entire place. It seemed as though she was in a dream. This was a place that Tamara only got to see in the movies and couldn’t ever imagine that she would ever step into one.
The front space had about three gigantic vases filled with different flowers. That explained why the place smelled so good, it was liberating to just stand there. Tamara closed her eyes and inhaled the fresh, scented air into her nostrils and gave out a smile. It had been a while since Tamara smiled and it felt so relieving.
“Hello there…”
Tamara thought she knew that voice since it was rather too familiar. She turned around to see this incredibly handsome, well-built cowboy staring at her with a generous smile across his face. Tamara smiled back at him and took his hand. But instead of a shake, this handsome cowboy held her hand up and kissed it. Tamara could feel her entire body shudder, both in surprise and flattery.
This was the first time anyone ever did that to her and she couldn’t stop feeling embarrassed.
“I believe you are the cook that Adrian has been yapping about for an entire week. I hope you will live up to my expectations or I will have you for dinner myself.”
Tamara took the joke the wrong way and thought Kevin was a pervert. But at the end of the day, she was just glad that she had a job opportunity. She had
been practicing for an entire week and she knew that even if she failed to impress, she would have done her best.
As soon as Tamara got into the house, another surprise was waiting for her. The house was unlike anything she had ever seen. Not even in the movies, she thought. On normal occasions, Tamara would have hidden her surprise but at the end of the day, all that she could do was stare. Kevin noticed that she was really surprised and decided to talk to her and make sure that she didn’t have to worry about a damn thing.
“So, what is your work experience as a chef?”
“I have been at this since I was six. I was always cooking with my mother… Adrian’s mother.”
Kevin looked at Adrian and then took another closer look at Tamara. But it wasn’t the family resemblance that surprised him. He felt as though he had seen Tamara’s face somewhere but he just couldn’t put his finger on where exactly. But at the end of the day, he decided to not ask her since it would scare her further. But Kevin was sure that he had seen Tamara somewhere: If not in reality then somewhere in his dream.
