Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(22)

I start playing with his hair as I sing the words that he can count on me. That if he needs someone, he has me. I sing stronger when the song starts to come to an end and finally, the song ends and he places the gentlest kiss on my lips.

It’s like he’s trying to tell me what he is feeling through that one kiss.

The room is quiet and I look around to see everyone has stopped what they are doing and are watching us. I look to Karen and she mouths show off. Soon, everyone starts to clap and walk our way, making conversation.

People start introducing themselves even though we all go to the same school and I know who they are, but I guess they never really knew I existed. A few say that I’m a good singer and ask if I ever thought of doing it professionally, and I tell them I’m in a band and they gushed even more. I have never had so many people come and talk to me like I became famous overnight or something.

Colin stays with me every second. His hand glued around my waist to show everyone, especially the guys, that I’m his. Girls who had boyfriends were saying Colin and I make a cute couple and it’s about time someone tamed him.

I listen to everyone talk but my mind drifts off. Me and Colin have only been together for like, a day, and only started interacting a couple of days ago. Right now, I’m starting to feel a little claustrophobic. This is too much, way too fast.

“I need to get some fresh air,” I tell everyone and step away from Colin. I squeeze myself away from the crowded room until I’m at the back of the house and suck in a deep, calming breath.

Looking ahead, I see some open space so I start walking and when I’m a good distance away from the party, I sit on the grass, which is hard in this dress. I hug my legs to my chest and lean my head on them and close my eyes.

I feel so stupid.

Colin has been nothing but sweet and caring and I just ran away from him.

This is my first real relationship. The last time I had a boyfriend, I was twelve and that didn’t really count. I don’t know what I’m doing. I groan into my arm, frustrated with myself. Soon, I hear footsteps and feel someone sitting next to me. I turn my head to see Colin looking forward.

“I’m sorry,” I tell him and he nods. We sit in silence for a few minutes and all I keep wondering is what he is thinking.

“Have I scared you off?”

“Not you.” Which is the truth. “They are all just too much. It doesn’t help the girls you sleep with are starting to pop out of the woodwork. Already had a cheerleader warn me off you.” His mouth tightens.

“Someone warned you to stay away from me?” I nod. “What did they say?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“It does to me.” His expression is sad.

“During your practice today, Nicole and her friends found me and told me that you will eventually hurt me. That you will either get bored waiting for me to sleep with you and walk away, or you’ll cheat. That you see me as a challenge and that you may think you have strong feelings for me, but it will fade. And that you have this great future ahead of you and where does that leave me?” I watch as he crawls until he is sitting in front of me and he lifts me so I’m now straddling him.

“I can’t change my past. Yeah, I was a man whore, I will admit that. These girls knew what they were getting into when they were with me. I never gave any of them promises. You are different, I love being around you. I promise you now that as long as you want me, you will have me.”

“What if I want to be with you forever?” I whisper, my heart starting to ache.

Fuck.

Shit.

I’m really falling fast for him. I don’t ever want him to leave me.

I want him to want me always.

“Then I will be with you forever.” I shake my head.

“You can’t promise that. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” I look down and he lifts my chin.

“I wouldn’t be making it if I didn’t think I could keep it. It’s crazy how much I like you. I want to be with you twenty-four-seven. I want to touch you every time I’m around you. When you touch me, I feel it everywhere. I know you are it for me. It’s crazy, but I know it.”

“And you aren’t saying all this just to try and get into my pants?” I watch as so many emotions run through his eyes.

“I never want to hurt you. I care for you too much and that’s the truth.” His thumb rubs along my bottom lip before he leans forward and kisses me. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into me.

When his lips are on mine, it’s like all the thoughts I have evaporate. I pull him closer and can feel his erection press against me. I adjust myself so my dress lifts a little so his covered erection can press against my soaked panties.

I start grinding myself against him; our lips barely touching as our breathing comes in fast. His fingers dig into my thighs, moving me back and forth. I hold onto his shoulders wanting to grind harder.

I reach between us and unzip his pants, reaching in to wrap my hand around the shape of his dick over his boxers. He gasps at my touch. I have never touched one before but he is definitely big. And very hard. I pull his pants down a little more and adjust myself so I’m sitting more on top of him. The only barriers are our underwear.

“I can feel your heat radiating on my cock.” He breathes into my neck before biting it.

“This feels so good,” I say breathlessly.
