Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(32)

My hands are flat to the door and he thrusts over and over in a perfect rhythm until I scream out his name when my release hits me. It doesn’t take long until he joins me. He presses my body against the door and all I can hear is our heavy breathing.

I soon feel him move away from me, the heat that was surrounding me gone. I turn, pulling my dress down and see him adjusting himself. I pat down my hair and lean against the door, watching him.

“You can’t keep doing this,” he tells me and I look at him confused. “You can’t use me anytime you want. I probably deserve to feel like this. I’ve done it to plenty. But you doing it to me…” He looks to the ceiling then back to me. “It hurts after.” He places his hand on his heart.

I walk towards him slowly and press my hand to the one covering his heart. I look slowly up at him. “I own your heart… like you own mine,” I say softly.

“You mean…”

“If you still want me.” He lifts me, twirling me around.

“Of course I still want you.” He holds me. “All I want is you. Always you.” I smile, tears prickling my eyes.

“Just no more lies. We tell each other everything.”

“Deal.” He kisses me. “So, you are mine again?”

I nod. “I was always yours.” He kisses me again; my lips, cheeks, nose, until he is back to my lips again.

“I hate that I need to sit with my dad or I would be taking you out on a fancy date. We still haven’t don’t that yet.”

“Because we keep making out and getting side tracked,” I joke.

“But not now. Now I’m going to treat you like a princess. I’m going to take you out on so many dates that your head will spin.”

“I’m not complaining.” He twirls me again. “I need to get back or my mom will start to worry.”

“Message me once your dinner is over and I’ll try and get away, too.”

“Okay.” He kisses me one more time and I smile all the way back to my table.

“You were gone awhile. Are you okay?” Mom asks me.

“I feel a little hot.” I press my palms to my cheeks. I know I’m all flushed so saying I feel hot makes it look better than her knowing I just had sex in this posh place.

“Do you need anything?”

“I’m okay. I just needed fresh air.” I lie.

“We can reschedule,” Xander says. “My son is being useless like always, so if you need to rest…”

“I’m fine. Really. But thank you.” He gives me a smile and we open our menus and my head is glued to the words when I feel my body vibrate and I know that he’s near.

“It is about time you arrived,” I hear Xander say. “Sorry ladies for my son’s rudeness, but Marie, Sasha, this is my son Colin.” My eyes go wide and my blood goes cold. I place the menu down and look up, praying it’s another Colin, but nope, the man standing there is my Colin. His eyes go to mine and I see the shock there as well.

“Dad, what’s going on?” He looks to me and my mom.

“Sit, I want you to meet the woman I’m dating and her beautiful daughter.” Colin sits opposite me and we just look at one another.

“I didn’t even know you were dating,” Colin says.

“Xander, I thought you were going to tell him,” my mom says.

“I honestly thought I did.” He looks at his son and his eyes aren’t warm towards him. I remember everything Colin has said. He’s never there. They don’t ever talk. This man spends more time with my mom than with his son.

That is just wrong.

“I am so sorry, Colin, for just springing all this on you,” Mom says sweetly. “I’m Marie and I really do care so much for your father.” She smiles at Xander who smiles in return.

“It’s okay,” Colin says, looking to his hands.

“Your father says that you play sports.” Mom tries to make conversation with him.

“Football.”

“You hear that, honey?” Mom looks to me. “Could you imagine if he was one of the guys who had to help out with the talent show?” Mom laughs and I start to feel sick.

“What guys?” Xander asks.

“Well there is one guy on the football team and a few of his friends that had to help Sasha with her talent show. Just saying, wouldn’t it be a small world if they met before now?” I bite my lip.

“I’m actually surprised you two never met before.” Xander takes a drink of his water.

“If he’s on the football team we wouldn’t.” Colin’s eyes are on me. “I’m a music nerd and in high school, it’s like being in a different country.” Xander nods.

“I hate that you call yourself that.” Mom shakes her head.

“I don’t mind,” I say. The waiter comes back and we all place our orders even though I’m not really hungry.

We eat and talk but the longer the meal, the more I start to feel sick. Why would this happen to me? I’m finally happy, I’ve fallen in love, and the world throws this at me.

After desserts, we all get cups of coffees and teas and Xander starts tapping his cup with his spoon. I look over at him and he has a proud look on his face.

“I want to thank you both for coming to meet one another…”
