“Yeah.”
“What about her?”
“He said it's important. She’s still sleeping. We can be in and out.”
“Alright.”
I wait what feels like five minutes after they all climbed out and sit up, looking out the windows. We are at some abandoned looking house. Boards cover it, broken glass litters the ground, and it appears as if it will collapse if the wind blows any harder. I look around and see trees everywhere.
“Hey.” A male voice speaks as I let out a high-pitched scream.
What the fuck.
“Woah, you okay?” I turn, finding Conner standing there.
“Yeah. Who the fuck sneaks up on someone?” Holding my hand to my chest.
“Sorry, I thought you heard me.” Conner chuckles.
“Con, who is this?” Turning my head toward the voice, I see a guy with long red hair pulled into a bun on his head and emerald eyes. His gorgeous eyes lock with mine.
“Lux. She’s our new foster sister.”
He stares at me for a minute, then turns towards the guys.
“I’ll be in touch.” He says to them, but his eyes meet mine again. Lux, get it together, it's just eyes.
“Oh, nice to finally meet you. Lux.” He gives me a smile that sends a delicious chill down my spine. I give him a small smile in return
I’ve been here for two months. Everything has been going great, but I can’t shake the feeling like something is coming. I’ve noticed Carl and the boys have been looking at me more than usual the past couple of weeks.
A few days ago, I heard a few comments getting made.
“You’re so beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to date you.” Caleb said.
“Are you a virgin, Luxie girl?” Colt asks. I just stared at him, unsure how to answer that. I’ve never been with anyone, but that’s nobody’s business.
When I told Claire, she just laughed and said they were just playing around. That they didn’t mean anything by it. So I’ve just brushed it off.
Getting out of the shower, I run through my nightly routine. I love this lotion, sweet peach is still my favorite. I finish putting lotion on my legs when my door opens. I jump as Claire walks in.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I have to head into work. I’ll be home in the morning. If you need anything Carl and the boys will be here.”
She smiles, walks over toward the door and turns her head. She goes to say something but shakes her head and closes my door. Huh.
Wonder what that was all about.
I walk over to the window, watching as Claire pulls out of the driveway, seeing her car disappear into the night. Turning and heading towards the bed, I pull the sheets and blanket back, and climb in. Once I’m comfortable, I fall fast asleep.
I jolt awake as I feel a heavy weight on me, opening my eyes I see it’s Carl.
What the fuck!
“You're so sexy. Let me make you feel good, little lamb.” Smelling the mix of alcohol and bad breath.
“No. Get off me!” I thrash under his weight.
“No means yes to me, fight me little lamb, it just gets my dick harder.” He chuckles.
