Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(21)

“Nice to meet you. You played well today.” He beams. Karen does have the right way of doing things. Just compliment a guy and they are in the palm of your hand. I do want his friends to like me. Danny seems like an ass but Aaron and Nathan aren’t that bad.

“Thanks.”

“Karen thought I was amazing on the field today.” He puts his arm around her shoulders, passing her a beer in a red cup. She winks at me and holds his hand.

“You were, couldn’t take my eyes off you, you were that mesmerizing on the field.” He looks so proud of himself it's almost funny.

“Everyone only ever sees Colin since he’s the quarterback, but we’re all just as good.” Aaron nods in agreement.

“I know what you mean, you were really good. In the band, everyone only ever notices Sasha as she can sing the shit out of anything, but I can play the guitar like a devil possessed.”

“You’ll have to play for me sometime.” Aaron winks at her.

“You’ll have to give me a personal show in your uniform.” He gives her a smoldering look.

“I think that can be arranged.”

“Good.” She smiles at him and takes a sip of her drink.

“They’re just as bad as each other,” I tell Colin.

“Yeah, they are. Hope she knows what she’s in for. He can be a dick.” I squeeze into him tighter. I like that he’s warning me even though it’s his friend.

“I already warned her. She just wants to lose her virginity and, in her eyes, she thinks losing it to a football player is a memorable thing.” He stands in front of me and before I have time to react, he lifts me up so my legs wrap around him and he places me on a counter, moving to stand between my legs.

“Does the same go for you?” I shake my head slowly.

“Yeah, I would love to lose it before I go to college but I want a connection. I want feelings involved. I don’t want any regrets.” His eyes bore into mine, soaking up every word I’m saying.

“I’ll prove to you that, whenever you’re ready, you will never regret being with me.” He takes hold of my wrists, placing my arms around his neck, then puts his hands on my hips. “You will never regret me.”

“I hope you’re right.” He leans down and kisses my nose, causing me to giggle.

“I will prove it.”





Sasha


I have never had so much fun. I’ve danced, laughed, and my and Colin’s friends are acting like long lost friends, well minus a certain dick Danny. Colin passes me another drink and stands by my side as we listen to Nathan and Leo argue over an episode of The Big Bang Theory.

Colin presses a kiss to the side of my head and wraps his hand around my waist. I look around the room and see a few girls staring our way but I look away and concentrate on my friends. A slow song comes on and I see someone walking towards us from the corner of my eye.

A redhead with long, shiny hair, creamy white skin, and seductive smile stops in front of us. She rubs her side to Colin’s and pulls him more towards her and away from me. “Would you like to dance?” She goes on her tiptoes so she’s closer to his ear. I watch him try to detangle himself from her.

“I’m with Sasha.” He steps back to my side, giving me an apologetic smile.

“Who?” The girl asks, confused. I look at her in disbelief, he just stood by me and she still can’t figure it out? Or maybe she’s acting like I don’t exist.

“My girl.” He pulls me into his side in an obvious way. Her eyes train on me and she checks me up and down.

“The rumors are true?” She shakes her head. “After we fucked this time last week, you gave the impression we would be having more fun,” she pouts. Seriously, this girl is pouting like a two-year-old. It’s just another reminder of his selective past.

“That was before I started seeing Sasha. I’m off the table now, spread the word.”

“I don’t mind sharing.” She walks to his side and places her hand on my hip. “I’m game if she is.” She smiles seductively at me. Even if I wasn’t a virgin, I don’t want to be watching my guy having sex with another girl right in front of me.

“Take the hint, girly, you aren’t getting any. Go get your claws in another guy,” Karen interrupts. I have never been more thankful for her non-filtered mouth more than I am now. The girl glares at Karen and winks at me before walking away. “Some girls are so desperate,” Karen huffs.

“You are a sassy girl, aren’t you?” Aaron looks down at Karen in awe.

“I don’t let whores hurt my friends.” She steps closer to him.

“Do I classify as a friend?” He moves in closer so their bodies are almost touching.

“Maybe.” She smiles up at him.

I roll my eyes and luckily, Starley ‘Call on Me’ starts to play. I grab Colin’s hand and I start to walk backward so I’m facing him and drag him to the made-up dancefloor. A few couples are already swaying to the song. I wrap my arms around Colin’s neck and we start to slowly sway like the others.

I love the song and soon I start to sing along to the words. My eyes stay connected to his. His eyes solely on me. His hands glide down to my hips and I start to move them a little and he pulls me in closer to him as I continue to sing to him.
