Meant to Be Yours: New Adult BBW College Romance (Derek and Jaike Book 2) Read Online Free PDF

stone benches. “How could he do something like this without even asking me first?” She placed her purse next to her, and she tried not to think about what was inside. If she did, she had a feeling she’d just start hyperventilating. Derek Christopoulos was moving too fast – too fast for her practical mind and scarred heart to catch up with her stupidly infatuated body.
    Marcy sighed over the phone. “I get you. I really get where you’re coming from. It’s a big step, you just broke up, you’re one of those irritatingly independent girls who hate having a guy spend money on you—”
    Jaike choked out a laugh. “Are you really trying to comfort me?”
    “I made you laugh, didn’t I?” Marcy retorted. “Take deep breaths, Jaike. I just want you to relax and calm down before you end up fainting like you did in our freshmen year—”
    Knowing Marcy had a point, Jaike forced herself to take deep breaths, concentrating hard on calming herself down.
    “Calm now?”
    “Kind of.”
    “Then…listen to me first. I just want you to listen, okay?”
    “Okay.”
    “Derek did a bad thing, not asking you first. But – can you blame him? We both know he’s wanted you for a long time. Now that he has you, he probably wants to make sure that you’ll be his forever.”
    “I get that, but…”  
    “Can’t you just be happy about having a guy like Derek wanting you so much? Don’t you think it’s great that he doesn’t even care if people find out how much he wants you?”
    Jaike tried to speak, but instead she found her mind assaulted with a memory from the past, a nightmare she had once lived and wished she could forget. But she never could.

    Jaike was seated alone at the dining table, trying to pretend she couldn’t hear anything.
    “Please, not with my child around.” It was Diana, her mother, begging. Her voice sounded nervous and eager to please at the same time.  
    It was a tone Jaike was now used to hearing, a tone she hated because it meant her mother wasn’t happy. These days, Uncle Tony always made her mother unhappy – even when he wasn’t around, he somehow had the power to make Diana sad.
    “If you really love Tony, you’ll do what I asked. Remember what he said? What I command is his command.”
    Jaike shouldn’t be able to hear those words. In all fairness to the man who was with her mother, he was doing his best to keep his tone down. But it was pointless. Their kitchen and dining room had an open layout, with the breakfast counter where Diana and the man was only a few feet away from the table. And even if they had been standing farther away, that wouldn’t have made a difference either. It was as if her ears had become extra sensitive with everything that had to do with Diana.
    “Let me just get my daughter out of here—”
    “I want her here. It makes things more exciting, don’t you think?”
    Jaike squeezed her eyes shut as she heard the telltale sound of fabric ripping. Was it her mother’s skirt? Was it her mother’s panties? Did it even matter? She knew what would happen next.
    “Please…” Diana’s gasp sounded like it was torn out of her.
    The man grunted, as if relishing the sound of her mother’s pain. It was followed by swooshing, rhythmic sounds, signifying something that Jaike shouldn’t have understood…but she did.
    It was another man having sex with her mother. And her mother was doing it because of Uncle Tony. That was what she couldn’t understand at all. Why did Uncle Tony want other men doing this to Diana? Why did all the men think they could get away with what they were doing to Diana? Why did they never bother to ask Diana for permission? Why?
    “Do you want it, bitch?”
    Now, Jaike could hear their bodies pounding hard against the counter.
    “Please, my daughter…”
    Jaike squeezed her eyes shut, but it was no use. The tears started to fall. Opening her eyes, she forced herself to eat her cereal. She didn’t want Diana to suffer
