Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(35)

I watch my mom walk down with the biggest smile on her face. Xander looks so proud. I am happy for my mom, I really am. She deserves happiness, especially after losing her first love.

I watch as they share vows. I watch as they place the rings on their fingers. But when they kiss, announcing they are now husband and wife, it's then when it really sinks in. Colin is now my stepbrother. I look to him and no emotion is showing. I see anger in his eyes but that’s because I know him.

Knew him.

Getting the photos taken was the worst as they wanted to focus on us as a family and when I think that we are finished, the photographer wanted ones of the new stepsiblings, making Colin and I stand side by side.

“You two look like stone. Relax.” The photographer laughs. “Sweetie, place your hand on his chest and both face me.” I groan and do as I’m asked.

Once my hand is placed on his chest, I feel his body tense at my touch. We both smile and when I’m about to step back, Colin places his hand above mine, stopping me. I look up at him and he looks down to me.

“You look really beautiful.”

“Thank you,” I whisper. “You look really handsome.” He touches my hair.

“You look so different.” His eyes are sad.

“Things are different.” We both just look at one another.

The party is a hit. Everyone is laughing and having fun. The meal was amazing and now me and my band are playing since Mom begged me to be the band for their wedding. How could I say no? The party is being held outside and with the sun setting, it looks perfect. I played all their favorite songs, including Bryan Adams ‘Everything I do’ for their first dance.

I decide to to play ‘If We Hold on Together’ by Diana Ross. It’s a song Dad used to sing to me when I was a kid before bed. It was one of the first songs I learned to play. I play it and Mom looks to me with tears in her eyes and I give her a watery smile.

I close my eyes as images of my dad enter my head. Seeing his smile, our tickle fights. Dad buying new water guns and sneaking into the kitchen and squirting Mom as she did the dishes. He really was a great dad. I know he would approve of Xander. I can see how much Xander adores my mother.

I open my eyes and Xander and Mom are dancing. Xander holding my mom as tears fall down her cheeks. He looks to me and I give him a smile and he smiles in return.

“Okay, we are now taking requests.” Everyone runs to the stage, shouting out song names. I chuckle to them. “One at a time, please.” But they are still shouting out names.

“Ed Sheeran ‘Thinking Out Loud’,” Colin shouts and I look to him.

“Ed Sheeran?” He nods. “Okay.” I look to Karen and she shrugs.

I start to sing and soon the words hit me. He watches me sing, not looking away. The line saying people fall in love in mysterious ways, even by a touch of a hand, sends a searing pain through me. He chose this song for a reason.

Is he trying to hurt me?

I continue with the song and once I’m finished, I let everyone know we are taking a break and they applaud as I jump off the stage and head inside, running up the grand stairs towards the bathroom. My hand is on the door when I feel my body being pushed inside. I turn to see Colin standing there.

He looks angry with me. I am the one who should be angry. Making me play a song about love. Yes, it’s a wedding but he shouldn’t have requested it. I am about to give him a piece of my mind when he charges at me, his lips on mine. Lifting me, placing me on the bathroom counter, spreading my legs apart and standing between them.

He devours my mouth and I am pulling his hair, pulling him into me. I wrap my legs around tighter. Feeling his erection press against me causes me to groan into his mouth. I feel his hand slip between us, gliding along my thigh until he pulls my panties to the side and starts rubbing my clit.

My mind is so foggy that I don’t know what’s happening. I’ve missed him so much. I missed this. I pull his hair tighter and he rubs faster. My eyes are rolling back when there is a knock on the door and we both stop. My body is frozen to the spot.

Someone is on the other side of the door and my now stepbrother has his thumb on my aching clit.

“Honey, are you okay?” Panic surges through me.

“Yes, Mom, I’m fine. I’ll be down in five minutes.” Colin doesn’t move.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine… just time of the month.” I lie.

“Oh okay. Just making sure. You are playing so beautifully. Dad would be so proud.”

“Thank you, mom.” I hold my breath as I hear her footsteps walk away. I look to Colin and he won’t even look at me. I push his chest and stand. I adjust my dress and look in the mirror, making sure I look like I haven’t been messing around with my stepbrother.

“I need to go,” I say, walking around him.

“I’m leaving,” he blurts out and I turn around.

“What do you mean you’re leaving?” My heart is in my throat.

“A football scout wants me to start next month, so after graduation, I’m gone.” Tears prickle my eyes.

He’s leaving me.

“So, what was this?” I point round the room. “A quick fuck before you go? I thought I meant more to you than that. I guess I really am just another one of your whores. A quick fuck in a bathroom.” I place my hand on the door and he pulls me back to him. My back to his front.
