First meeting

Ever since Lila found out about her father’s plan, she had been quieter than ever. If anyone asked her what was wrong, she just pretended that everything was fine. But inside, she felt like a storm was brewing, ready to break free at any moment. Today, she and her sister Alice were sitting on the swing in their garden, the afternoon sun casting a warm glow over everything.

Alice, always the extrovert, chattered away about the latest gossip, trying to coax a response from Lila. But Lila’s mind was elsewhere, replaying the words she had overheard, feeling the weight of her family’s expectations like a heavy cloak around her shoulders.

Then, they both saw it—a man on a motorbike, wearing shades, entering their compound. The roar of the engine cut through the air, capturing their attention immediately. Alice, her curiosity piqued, grabbed Lila’s hand and pulled her towards the driveway.

"Come on, Lila! Let's see who it is," Alice said, excitement gleaming in her eyes.

Lila followed reluctantly, her heart not quite in it, but willing to be dragged along by her sister’s enthusiasm. As they approached, the man got down from his motorbike, his movements fluid and confident. He had a chiseled jaw, a straight nose, and his dark hair fell perfectly into place as he removed his helmet. Even from a distance, his presence radiated a dangerous aura, one that made Lila’s breath catch in her throat. He seemed older even though he looked like a young person.

As he made his way to their house, Alice hurried to intercept him, blocking his path with a mischievous smile. "Hey there, stranger! Who are you, and what brings you to our humble abode?" she asked, her voice playful and flirtatious.

The man looked at Alice with mild amusement, his lips curling into a smirk. "I'm here to see your father," he replied, his voice deep and smooth.

Alice wasn't deterred. She stepped closer, batting her eyelashes. "Oh really? And who might you be? We don't get many visitors around here, especially ones as… interesting as you."

Lila stood a few steps behind, watching the interaction with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. There was something about this man that made her skin tingle and her heart race. His eyes, now visible without the shades, were a striking shade of green, piercing and familiar. They reminded her of the wolf she had encountered in the woods, the same wild, intelligent gaze.

The man’s eyes shifted past Alice and landed on Lila. For a moment, he stiffened, as if seeing something unexpected. Lila frowned, feeling a strange connection that she couldn’t quite place. Her heart pounded in her chest, and it seemed as if the air around them had suddenly grown thicker.

Alice, oblivious to the tension, continued her barrage of questions. "Do you have a name, or should I just call you 'mystery man'? And what business do you have with our father?"

The man tore his gaze away from Lila and looked back at Alice, his expression unreadable. "My name is Caleb," he said, his tone measured. "And my business with your father is private."

Alice pouted, clearly not satisfied with the lack of details. "Private, huh? Well, I suppose I can let you in. But only because you seem… intriguing."

She stepped aside, allowing Caleb to proceed towards the house. As he walked past Lila, she felt an inexplicable pull towards him. Her skin felt hot, almost as if it were on fire, and she struggled to understand why her heart was reacting this way.

Caleb paused briefly beside her, his eyes locking onto hers once more. “Hello" he said, his voice low and intense.

Lila nodded, unable to find her voice. There was something about the way his voice that sent shivers down her spine. She watched as he continued towards the front door, his presence leaving a lingering sense of mystery and danger in the air.

Alice turned to Lila, her eyes wide with excitement. "Did you see that? He’s like something out of a movie! I wonder what he wants with Dad."

Lila could only nod again, her mind swirling with questions. Who was Caleb, and why did he seem so familiar? And why did she feel such a strange connection to him, as if they had crossed paths before?

    "Marshall, old friend, you came! I didn't think you would accept my offer," Senator Connor Reid said, shaking Caleb’s hand warmly."Well, I didn’t think I’d come either. Never imagined I’d end up babysitting, but here we are," Caleb replied with a chuckle."Please, have a seat," Connor said, gesturing to the chair in front of his desk. Caleb sat down as Connor passed him a file. Raising his eyebrows, Caleb opened it."Everything you need to know about my daughter is in that file," Connor said, his voice a mix of pride and anxiety. Caleb was curious which of Connor's daughters he’d be protecting."My daughter is very precious to me," Connor added.Caleb didn’t even look up as he absorbed the information, skimming through a wealth of family photographs of Connor’s daughter, from baby pictures to her current age. She had always been stunning, but something caught his eye—she wore fancy lace gloves in pictures from when she was fourteen to now. Her once-bright eyes, full of innocence and

    Lila didn’t understand why she was so attracted to a stranger she had just met. It was weird, unsettling even. She tried to shake off the feeling, immersing herself in her book, but it was no use. Her mind kept drifting back to the man who had just entered their lives. "I wonder what he's discussing with Dad," Alice mumbled, pacing back and forth in the room. Lila, pretending to be absorbed in her book, paid no attention to her sister. "He's incredibly attractive, even more than all the guys I've been with. I'm eager to have a taste of him. I know he’s older but still.” Alice said, her brow furrowing as she was about to turn the next chapter. This wasn't the first time her sister had talked about sleeping with someone, but there was an odd feeling in Lila's heart after hearing Alice's words. "Do you think he's rough, passionate, dominant, or submissive in bed?" Alice's mischievous smile formed. "I suppose I'll have to find out. Judging by his demeanor and aloofness, he's prob

    She mustered up the courage to speak up. "Father, I appreciate your consideration, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for such a big gathering. It's overwhelming for me, and I fear I won't be able to handle it well." Her father leaned forward, his expression softening. "Lila, I understand your concern, but this gala is crucial for me. Many shareholders and investors will be there. Rumors are circulating about you, and my opponents are using them to ruin my political career. You know how much that means to me." Lila bit her lip, feeling torn between her fear of large crowds and the desire to make her father proud. He had always been understanding, never forcing her into the limelight. For him to ask this of her meant it was important. For years, she had read the rumors but had never thought they would affect her father so deeply. Alice crossed her arms, clearly not convinced. "There must be another way, Father. Lila can contribute in other meaningful ways without subjecting herself t

    Remarkably, he stood firm and unwavering, unaffected by the collision. In a swift and fluid motion, his agile arms shot out, swiftly catching her before she fell."Careful now," he whispered gently, his voice soothing as he effortlessly supported her until she regained her balance and stood steadily on her own feet again."Okay?" he asked, his gaze fixed on her, yet revealing nothing in his expression. His expression remained stoic and unreadable, leaving her longing for the warmth and security she had felt when pressed against his broad chest.The crisp white collar of his shirt and impeccably knotted gray tie served as a mere facade, unable to conceal the raw magnetism that practically emanated from him.In her mind, he embodied the epitome of perfection, surpassing even the most strikingly beautiful men she had seen in movies.

    Lila folded the last of Alice's clothes into the suitcase, smoothing out the wrinkles with a careful hand. The room was a chaotic mix of half-packed bags, discarded outfits, and the faint scent of Alice's favorite perfume. Alice, always the whirlwind, stood in the middle of it all, trying to decide if she should pack one more dress or leave it behind."You sure you don't need this?" Lila held up a shimmery, silver gown.Alice looked up, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Nah, leave it. Besides, you might need it for a hot date with that bodyguard of yours."Lila rolled her eyes, trying to hide her blush. "Caleb is just doing his job, Alice. It's not like that."Alice smirked, tossing her hair back. "Right. And I suppose those longing looks you two share are just part of the job, too?"Ignoring her sister's teasing, Lila zipped up the suitcase and pushed it to the side. "You're impossible, you know that?"Alice laughed, the sound light and carefree. "Just saying, if I had a bodyguard lik

    Lila stabbed a button to slow down the treadmill and bent her body across the machine, panting as the track came to a stop. Sweat dripped down her skin, sticking in her hair. Her lungs ached. Her whole body felt like it was on fire. She had been going out of her damn mind. It had been four days since Caleb arrived at her house, and she had been officially losing it. He had been everywhere. Everywhere she turned. He was currently working on fitting her new security system, installing cameras, lights, blinds, gates, locks, alarms. The whole nine yards. He would wake up every morning, dressed in jeans and t-shirts, and spend all day screwing and wiring and hammering. Lila couldn't help but admire his flexing abs and bulging biceps as she struggled to catch her breath. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of him, and the air felt thick with their shared tension. Groaning, she grabbed her phone and left the basement gym, her legs feeling shaky from the intense workout. Working out

    As Caleb drove them to the pizzeria, Lila couldn't help but glance at him every so often, her heart thudding in her chest. There was something about him that made her feel both nervous and safe at the same time, an intriguing contradiction that she couldn't quite understand. The way he handled the car, the confident ease in his movements, all of it was so captivating. She wanted to say something, to break the silence, but every time she opened her mouth, the words got tangled up in her throat."Are you okay back there, princess?" Caleb's voice broke through her thoughts, a teasing lilt to his tone that made her cheeks flush."Y-yeah, I'm fine," she managed to stammer, immediately hating how awkward she sounded. "Just... thinking.""About?" he prompted, throwing a quick glance her way before focusing back on the road.Lila fidgeted with the hem of her dress, unsure how to respond.

Hope you’re okay?”Lila's lips curved into a grateful smile at Caleb's words. His genuine concern was a soothing balm to her turbulent emotions."Yeah," she replied softly, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability. "It was... intense in there. But I think it helped."
