“I’ll deal with you later,” he says, lust billowing in his eyes as he pulls back.
“Deal with me?”
“Yeah, deal with you. You took off your seatbelt. Fucking dangerous, Kid. I’m gonna spank your arse for willfully putting yourself in danger like that,” he says, before jumping out of the car and striding around to open my door like a true gentleman. “After you.”
“Why, thank you,” I say with a huge grin, already imagining what a spanking would feel like at the hands of Dax. He smiles wickedly, crowding me against the closed car door.
“Do you know how much I wanted you the last time I had you up against this car?”
“No, how much?” I ask, having a pretty good idea.
His knee presses up against my core, as he boxes me in and whispers against my ear. “So. Fucking. Much.”
“Rah, look at that Bentley. Nice fucking ride, man!” A boy of about fifteen appears out from behind the garages. He’s smoking weed and his red-rimmed, glassy eyes focus, or at least try to, on the car. “She’s fucking insane. What I’d do to drive that baby.”
Dax groans, then pushes off the car and turns around slowly. The boy's eyes widen a little when his gaze finally focuses on him.
“Where’s the rest of them?” Dax asks, causing the boy to cock his head. I’m pretty sure that such a simple question uses more than a few brain cells to answer.
“The rest of them?”
“Yeah, the fuckers who’re gonna try and steal my car, or at least my hubcaps.”
The boy splutters whilst I chuckle. “I ain’t gonna steal nothing, man. I swear it.”
Dax folds his arms across his chest. “Yeah, and my name’s Robin fucking Hood.”
“What?”
“Never fucking mind. Just tell your boys not to fuck with my car. Got it?”
“What’s in it for me?”
Dax scowls, noticing a few shady looking kids lingering on the street corner. All of them are eying up his car and taking a great interest in our conversation. Having grown up on this estate we both know that Dax is correct in his assumption that they’d try and steal his car the second our backs are turned.
“I need to deal with this. Meet you up there?”
“Sure thing. See you in ten?”
“I’ll have this sorted in three.”
“Go easy, they’re just kids,” I say.
“The Breakers were once kids too and look how we turned out.”
“Fair point.”

“Lena, are you home?”I call out, stepping into the hallway, pocketing my keys as soon as I’m inside. The first thing I notice is the familiar smell of cigarette smoke and the cheap potpourri mum puts out to try and mask the smell. Fucking gross. What this place needs is a good airing. Better still, mum needs to give up her nasty habit and stop slowly killing her daughter with secondhand smoke.
“Pen?!”
At the end of the hallway, Lena steps out of her bedroom and squeals, rushing towards me in a flurry of pink fluffy pyjamas, face mask and wet hair. She throws herself into my arms and hugs me.
“Hey, Lena,” I murmur, holding her close, not caring that her strawberry face mask has rubbed off onto my cheek. “Nice pyjamas. Haven’t seen those before.”
“What are you doing here?” she asks, grinning that gorgeous smile of hers. It’s only been a couple weeks since I saw her last, but even in that time she’s changed. She’s growing up fast and is already towering over me. I definitely got the short gene, whilst she got all the legs. Lena is what I’d call a natural stunner and the total opposite of me in more ways than just our looks. She’s a lot more trusting and open than I am, that’s for sure.
