Chapter 1.
When Callie's bedroom door creaked open, she didn't hear it. The 15-year old girl was fast asleep. She didn't know anything was amiss until she felt a weight on her bed. She rolled over and opened her eyes in the dim light.
"Liam?" She asked, squinting in the dark. On the edge of her bed sat her 19-year-old foster brother. "What are you doing here? She asked, worry creeping into her thoughts. Was Jude, her little brother, sick? Had he had a nightmare? She started to sit up, but Liam pushed her back down.
"I just had to see you, Cal," he said. "You look so beautiful." He leaned down to kiss her on the lips, and though she knew it was wrong, she gave in and returned the kiss. Liam pulled away and began to kiss her neck. It felt good at first, but then the kisses got harder, almost painful.
She pulled away. "Cut it out. That hurts," She whispered.
Liam stopped kissing her, and ran his hand down her leg, caressing her thigh. Callie's heart pounded in fear, yet it was somehow thrilling.
"I want you to have sex with me," Liam whispered. "Please, baby?"
"No," said Callie. "I can't... I'm not ready."
"Come on, Cal," Liam replied. "I love you. Don't you love me? No one has to know." He squeezed her thigh with a light pressure, then creeped his hand up her nightshirt.
"I said no," Callie said fiercely. "If you don't stop it, I'll scream."
As quick as a bullet, Liam's hand was around her throat. "Scream, and I'll snap your neck," he hissed. He held his other hand over her mouth. "Tell anyone about this, and you'll be sorry." He continued, "I'll tell Dad you've been trying to seduce me. They'll send you to a group home, and Jude will be all alone."
Fear pulsed through Callie's body. What if what Liam just said really happened? Jude would be lost without her. She was his only real family. She might never see him again.
"If you tell anyone, it'll be the last thing you do in this house. Do you understand? Nod if you do."
Callie nodded as much as his sweaty palm would allow.
"Good girl," Liam whispered. "Open your legs."
Callie did as she was told, shaking with fear, as he tugged her panties down. She felt him move over her body, then she felt the pain. Tears stung her eyes, and she screamed into Liam's palm.
