Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(5)

“You really need to start looking where you’re going, Sasha.” Colin chuckles. His hands are still on me and I notice mine have landed on his chest, and fucking hell it is hard. My dirty mind goes to other things that could be hard.

“Sorry,” I apologize.

“It’s no problem.” I look up to see him smiling down at me and I feel him pulling my body a little closer to his. I swear I can feel every hard muscle of him against me.

“Why are you and Aaron coming? You guys aren’t on the committee.” I feel his thumbs once again stroking my skin, the contact making me break out in goosebumps.

“Since this morning, we were told we are. Guess we’ll be spending more time with each other.” I step back.

“You both are on the committee?” Karen asks.

“Yup, doll face, aren’t you the lucky ones?” Aaron smiles at her and Karen bites her lip. I quickly push her behind me.

“This can’t be right. I’m in charge. Someone would have told me.” My voice raises a little. I worked so hard on this, and with a couple of weeks to go, like hell I am having these guys goof off while the rest of us work our butts off.

“Ask Mr. Atkins, he’s the one forcing this.” Colin pulls his fingers through his thick, dark brown hair, causing his bicep to tense up and I shake my head, forcing my thoughts out of the gutter.

“I will,” is all I manage to say as I storm off to the principal’s office. I’m so pissed off that I want to act like a child and stomp my foot.

They are not going to ruin my show.

I’m still storming down the hall when I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket and I take it out, seeing my mother’s name on the screen. Why is she calling me knowing I’m at school? I hit accept and answer.

“Honey, shouldn’t you be in class?” I roll my eyes.

“If you know that then why are you calling me?”

“Is everything okay?” I hear the concern in her voice.

“I’m pissed off right now that a few asshole jocks are trying to be a part of the talent show that I have worked so hard to prepare and organize.” I huff. I hear feet behind me so I know they are following me.

“Honey, I know you worked so hard on this but maybe…”

I interrupt her. “Mom, you’re supposed to be on my side and hate whoever I hate.”

“Hate is a pretty strong word,” Colin says next to me and I glare at him.

“Honey, who’s that?”

“Nosey much?” I spit at him. “Mom, it’s one of the asshole jocks I was telling you about.” He smiles at me, shaking his head.

“Is he hot?” I stop walking and am pushed forward by Karen bumping into me. I would have fallen on my face if I wasn’t quickly swished up into Colin’s arms.

“You really need to stop trying to get into my arms, sweets.” He pulls my body flush against his.

“You’re in his arms?” I hear my mom ask over the phone. “I bet he’s hot,” she says again and Colin’s smile goes bigger hearing it.

“Mom, he heard you.” I press the phone again against my ear.

“He must be pretty close to you for him to have heard me,” she says playfully.

“She’s pressed up against him, Marie,” Karen shouts out, smiling at us both.

“Oh, are you sweetie?” mom teases.

“You are both as bad as each other.” I groan.

“Bet you’re still in his arms, though.” I look to Colin who is still smiling and I quickly step out of his embrace.

“Can my day get any worse?”

“Probably,” Karen and my mom say at the same time.

“I have to go, I need to set my anger on the principal.”

“Don’t be too hard on him. By the way, I called to say I won’t be home when you get in. I have another date.” She sighs dreamily on the word date. She’s been seeing this man for the last six months and she is so smitten. I promised her that I will meet him once my talent show is over with and he’s free from work. Mom says he’s a very busy man, but he always has time for her.

“Be good and I’ll see you when you get home.”

“I may not be coming home tonight if he plays his cards right.”

I scrunch up my face. “Too much info, Mom. Have fun, wear protection.”

“Yes, Mom,” she mimics me. “Love you.”

“Love you, too.” We hang up and I look to everyone and they are all staring at me.

“So, your Mom is getting some?” Aaron waggles his eyebrows. “She’s quite loud,” he explains. I growl and start stomping back down the hall. When I stop suddenly, to collect my momentum my body is once again pushed forward.

What is it with today?

I turn to see Colin chuckling at me.

“You two are already doing my head in.” I huff.

“I’m glad I’m doing something in for you.” Colin winks at me.

“You are disgusting.”

“You’ll like it.” He winks at me and I roll my eyes and start walking again. When we all get to Mr. Atkins office, I walk past his secretary and knock on his door.





Colin


I have never met someone as fiery as this girl. I know she’s angry, but the way she bites her lip, which I’m positive she doesn’t realize she’s doing, is making me think of her mouth, and the way she talks to me makes me want to push her against the wall and cover her mouth with mine.
