thumb. “Well,” he wags his eyebrows twice. “There’s that too.”
How can I laugh while I cry? That’s just weird and shouldn’t be possible. “Geek.”
“Is it wrong of me to be excited about taking your innocence and making you mine completely?”
My breath hitches and my stomach warms in anticipation for the night that will most likely come one day soon. “I don’t think so.”
“Good.” He bites the lobe of my ear. “Because I am really, really excited.” I can tell by the bulge beneath my arse and I have to say, it’s making me feel as though I’m out of control of my own body. I’ve never felt lust and desire as badly as I do with Caleb. Never.
“Milk and honey times two,” Charlie says, snapping me out of my daze.
“Brilliant!” Caleb grins. “Thanks.”
“Yeah,” I say and sip my hot drink. “Oh my god, this is amazing.”
“I know, right?” Caleb doesn’t let me slide off his lap. He keeps me there and drinks his drink.
Chapter Three
I can’t believe he’s actually moving here! I never thought he would. I thought it was all a ruse to get into my pants, not that anybody can blame me for thinking that way. Now I feel guilt and a lot of it. He’s only ever kissed me and groped me a couple of times. Never has he once tried to actually sleep with me, though, to be honest, we’ve never had the opportunity.
“What will your parents say about it?”
“My parents are dicks.” This is his response and I’m not sure how to respond to his response. It worries me a bit.
“Tell me about them.”
He seems to think about it for a moment before continuing. “They’re rich and think they’re entitled. Nathan and I were never allowed to do anything wrong growing up. The slightest mistake and we’d be grounded for weeks; sometimes our dad would take his belt to us. Nathan got the worst of it. He took a lot of my shit for me.”
“That’s sad.”
His eyes seem to glitter for a moment. “It is what it is. They’ll hate this; not because they care, but because they want control. That’s just how they are.”
“They’ll blame me.”
He nods. “I won’t lie, they probably will but I’ll keep you away from them. They’re vile people and I never want that anywhere near you. You shouldn’t be tainted by people like them.”
“They’re your parents.”
“And because of that reason, I do love them deep, deep, way deep down. Also because of that reason, I know what type of people they are and they’re the kind of people who you don’t want to be near.” I open my mouth to interject but he cuts me off with a finger to my lips. “They’re the kind of people I don’t want you to be near. Let me protect you from evil as much as I can. Okay?”
How can somebody be so seemingly sweet and so perfect all of the time? I find it hard to believe that he was single before me. I have yet to find something about him that anyone could dislike.
“Have you always been this infuriatingly perfect?”
He only smiles and responds, “I didn’t used to be.”
I knew it! “Why?”
“No more story time. You need to work and I have to go to the bank and sort out my funds.” He stands, urging me onto my feet. “I’ll pick you up when you finish.” With a light kiss on my lips and one on my neck, he leaves me and my warm and aching heart behind.
Swoon.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more handsome man from behind. It seems like an odd statement, but it’s a true one. Caleb is sexy; he knows it but he’s not arrogant about it. Even from behind you just know that when he turns around, the front is going to look so good. His back is right to promise such things, except Caleb is like nothing you could ever dream up. He’s perfect. He’s beautiful in the way only a man can be beautiful.
I can just tell he’ll be one of those men who age well; his cheeky and charming smile will last an age. I can imagine him at the age of sixty, smiling at the women as they pass. Most likely driving me crazy but at the same time making me swoon that he’s mine. I seem to do a lot of swooning around him. I need to get a grip of myself.
