Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(28)

“You are mean,” I yell out to her.

“I learned from the best.” I shake my head at her.

I jump off the stage and decide to look for Aaron and, of course, find him stuffing his face with food. I grab some chips and start to pick at them as I wait. Now that I know what’s going to happen tonight, I feel too much on edge. I just want to leave now and fuck my girl's brains out. I’ll make love to her, but I don’t think I’ll be able to hold back.

This is the longest I’ve gone without having sex. I’ve had my releases, just as Sasha has had hers, but, God, I can’t wait to be inside her. To own all of her. Images of her on my bed, of her screaming out my name, flash through my mind. I look at my phone for the time and only two minutes has passed. It feels like hours.

I need to calm the shit down or I’m going to explode before I’ve even touched her.

“You look like someone is after you,” Aaron says with his mouth full.

“I’m fine,” I lie.

“Yeah, you look it, what’s up, man?” I bite my lip, wondering if I should tell him. Karen and the rest of the band knows after she accidentally said out loud that she wanted me to be inside her.

“I’m going to be having sex with Sasha for the first time tonight.” Aaron almost chokes and I have to clap his back.

“Holy fuck, dude. So happy I never took that bet now.” I turn, facing the wall. I forgot all about that stupid bet.

“That bet was stupid. I should never have agreed.”

“But if it wasn’t for that bet, would you have talked to her? You wouldn’t be this happy.”

“What’s going on?” Nathan asks, walking behind us with Danny.

“He’s getting lucky tonight,” Aaron blurts out and I glare at him. He just gives me a what look.

“Fucking hell, dude. You really are good. Knew you could fuck her.” Nathan claps my shoulder.

“You should have kept the bet, you could have earned all that money,” Danny says.

“Can we stop talking about the bet?” I groan.

“Come on, you should thank us. If it wasn’t for that bet, you wouldn’t be with Sasha and you wouldn’t be getting your dick wet in just over a week. I thought it would take a month at least but, damn, you must have the special touch.” The guys laugh.

“What bet?” My body freezes and I look to the side of me to see Sasha and Karen standing there. Tears are forming in Sasha’s eyes as Karen is glaring at us all. Sasha is wearing a long, cream maxi dress and she looks like a model. She dressed up for tonight.

“Baby…” I try and hold her hand but she steps away from my touch.

“What bet?” she asks a little louder.

“It’s not what you think,” Aaron steps in, trying to defend me.

“What bet!” she shouts.

“The guys made a bet to see how far and how quickly I could get with you, but it didn’t mean anything. I ended it the following day since it was so stupid.” I try and explain.

“But you had agreed to it?” She sniffs and I see her heart breaking right in front of me. “That’s why you started talking to me, because of a bet.” More tears flow from her eyes and all I want to do is hold her.

“Sasha…” She lifts her hand, stopping me.

“You promised you wouldn’t hurt me.” No words form out of my mouth. “You could have told me, said you made a bet but you stopped it. You kept it from me, now your friends are laughing that after a week I did want to sleep with you. To make love.” She whispers the last part.

“It doesn’t mean anything.”

“Maybe not to you, but it does to me. I thought you and me talking was a sign that we were meant to be together, but it’s a lie. All this is one big lie.” She turns to walk away and I start to panic. I run in front of her but her eyes start to harden up. “Stay away from me.”

“Please, don’t do this,” I beg.

“Move aside.” I shake my head and she tries to walk around me but I block her moves.“Move,” she grits out.

“I can’t. I love you,” I plead.

“You don’t know the meaning of the word. Now move.” I drop down to my knees and put my arms around her waist, my head pressed to her stomach.

“Please don’t leave me. I am so sorry. I love you. I love you, Sasha.” Tears have formed in my eyes and I know I may seem pathetic, but I can’t lose her.

“Stop it.” She sobs.

“You still love me. Let’s just move on from this. We were happy.”

“We were.” She grabs my hands and pulls me away from her, walking around me and I stay on my knees.

“Sasha, don’t leave me!,” I shout but she doesn’t look back. I watch her walk away. I watch the girl that was my everything walk away from me. Another woman leaving me behind.

“You are a real dick. You just broke her damn heart,” Karen spits at me. She slaps me before running after her friend, but I don’t even feel it. Aaron comes to my side and tries to help me up but I shrug him off.

“She’ll come around.” He sits next to me. I know she won’t. I saw it in her eyes. Just like a switch. She went from loving me to hating me.

I don’t know how long I stay on my knees in the middle of the gym but Aaron stays by my side. I don’t care what people think of me since now I feel like a shell of the person I once was.
