Broken (Broken #1)
Fucking
brilliant,” he beams and picks me up so my thighs are around his
hips. His lips crash down on mine, I don’t refuse them either. I’d
be crazy if I did. “I was worried you’d say no.” Me too but seeing
as he’s left his hometown and his family and he’s chosen me over an
unknown amount of money, there’s no way I can say no. Plus it’s not
like I don’t have a job and can’t afford to live here. Money will
be tight but it’ll be worth it. “Really? You won’t back
out?”
    “ I can’t
wait,” I admit eagerly and suck on his lower lip making him groan.
“Thank you.”
    “ Let’s
celebrate,” he whispers, his eyes twinkling. “I’m
hungry.”
    “ You want to
go out for food?”
    His eyes narrow with mischief,
“I was thinking of something sweeter, something south.” South. Oh.
My mouth forms this shape, he laughs a little and throws me onto
his mattress. “Lay back and relax baby.”
    “ Okay,” I
breathe and allow him to slide my trousers off, I even help him by
raising my hips a little. Brilliant.

    My legs are still jelly and
it’s been two hours since I climaxed all over his face. I hope my
mum doesn’t notice.
    She’s sat in the living room
smoking a cigarette and watching some realty show on TV when we get
inside. I pause it and sit on the couch with Caleb by my side.
    “ Oh dear,”
she says noticing my need to talk. He elbows rest on her knees as
she looks at us both. “Go on. Spit it out.”
    Okay. “I’m moving out.”
    “ No,” she
says with a firm shake of her head. “You can’t afford to get
distracted.”
    “ Mum,” I hiss
and squeeze Caleb’s hand. “I’m eighteen, I’ve finished college, now
all that’s left is University and I promise I’m not going to mess
up. It means a lot to me. You know that.”
    She shakes her head, “It’s not
happening.”
    “ Mum.” I
warn, wondering why she’s being so difficult.
    “ Come on
Dawn,” Caleb pouts, his eyes wide like a puppy’s. “Think about it,
we’re not far and you’ll get privacy and one less mouth to
feed.”
    “ I don’t
think you two realise how serious this is. What with your
university classes and expenses.”
    “ Trust me
Dawn, I do know how serious this is. I’ve never been more serious
in my life.” I can tell by the stern expression on his face. My
breath catches at the intensity of his eyes. “I want her with me,
all of the time. I promise I won’t let her fail and I’ll send you
her grades every month. If they drop to the point where you’re
worried, I’ll bring her back here myself.” He looks at me
apologetically before turning back to my mum. “Please?”
    She chews her lower lip seeming
to contemplate this for a moment, “On one condition.”
    “ What’s
that?” I enquire, my excitement rising, my heart
fluttering.
    “ You go on
the injection or the implant or something,” she demands, giving me
a pointed look.
    I nod eagerly, “I’ll go on the
pill.” Caleb quirks a brow at me, making my face heat at the
awkwardness of this conversation. “What?”
    “ Nothing,”
his face becomes a mask of cheekiness and I suddenly know where his
trail of thoughts are leading. He knows I’m ready to lose my
virginity. It’s not something we’ve spoken much about but if my
saying I’ll go on birth control isn’t a huge green light then I
don’t know what is. If I hadn’t have been ready I would’ve said to
my mum that I’m still a virgin. Or maybe not. I don’t know. It’s an
awkward conversation no matter who it’s with. “I’ll take her to the
doctors first thing in the morning.”
    “ Okay,” my
mum relents and places her palms flat on her knees, rubbing them a
little. “I guess it’s okay that you move in with him.”
    “ Yay,” Caleb
and I both say together. He laughs I crinkle my nose playfully, my
mum rolls her eyes.
    “ Well, you
are a match made in heaven I’ll give you that,” she adds jokingly
and stands. “Are you staying for lunch or do
