Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(72)



“He is the ultimate player. He bangs any pretty girl—the prettier the better.”

Well, then that’s me definitely out. “Don’t think I’m his type, anyway.”

He shakes his head at me. “I saw him watching you. He was looking at you like you were his next prey. I just wanted to warn you. If you are into the one-night stand thing then fair play, but if you’re not, he will fuck you, then leave you.”

I open my mouth in shock and then close it again.

“Sorry, think that was a bit too forward,” he chuckles. “Just be careful.”

“I wouldn’t go near him, anyway. I think my cousin is in love with him.”

“I think she thinks she is in love with him. It’s the fame and bad boy thing.”

I nod in agreement. Maybe that’s why I’m attracted to him; maybe it is just the bad boy thing. “Well, she will know soon enough,” I say.

“Yeah, when he sleeps with her and she realizes that he isn’t interested anymore.”

Yeah, that’s going to suck, but I will be there for her. I know what jerks men can be. “I know if I tell her to stay away she wouldn’t listen, so it’s her lesson to learn.” I know it sounds harsh but it’s the truth.

“Well, I better get back to it.”

I nod and I turn back around, and like he knows my interest is back on the stage, Sebastian’s eyes land back on mine.

Fuck.





Excerpt - Seduced by a Rockstar - Chapter 2





I tell Cory that I am heading back to the booth; he looks disappointed but nods. I go back and as soon as I sit down, Anna leaves, taking Calvin with her to the dance floor. I roll my eyes; I guess I’m looking after our booth. I am sitting there peeling the label off my bottle when Cara drops down next to me, screaming in my ear.

“I think he noticed me. I am sure he gave me a wink. I’m not one hundred percent sure, but I think he did.” She beams at me and I put on a fake smile.

“I bet he did, how could he not?” Which is true—how can he see her and not be interested?

“Hopefully when he is finished with his set he will come look for me.”

“What do you mean he will come look for you?”

“After he finishes, he normally picks a girl and tries to seduce her. Well, he does seduce them, if you know what I mean.” She winks at me.

“You want him to pick you?” I shake my head.

“Well, I have a plan—if he does pick me, I’m going to play hard to get, then I’m going to turn him down. I bet he never gets turned down and he is going to want me more and that’s when I will set my plan in action on taming him.”

I look at her incredulously. “Well, hope it works.”

She shakes my arm and takes a sip from her drink.

The band starts to play a catchy song and Cara begs me to come dance with her. How could I say no? I love dancing and I really want to, so I nod, and squealing once again, she drags me to the middle of the dance floor where we start moving. I let the music take over and I relax my body. Cara smiles at me and I smile back.

The band’s music ranges from rock to pop rock, which I like. I notice they do some power ballads and we end up dancing to a few. I move my hips and at times, dance with my arms above my head or in my hair. I never look once at the stage, but I swear I can feel his eyes on me.

I try to ignore it.

I really do.

“I think he keeps looking at me,” Cara says during one song, and I hope he is. The song ends and I finally hear his voice when he talks through the mic.

“Thanks, guys, for listening. You rock.”

Most of the women scream and I’m sure I’ve gone deaf. Cara’s eyes train on the stage as I walk away, heading back to the bar.

“You looked good out there.” Sean wiggles his eyebrows and I lean over the bar to hit his arm.

“Bet you say that to all the girls,” I chuckle at him.

“Only the girls from the UK.” He winks at me and I can’t help but laugh. “Same again?”

I nod. He passes me another beer, and handing him over the money, I tell him to keep the change, which gets me a wink in return.

Another band comes onto the stage. They just play power ballads, so I mostly stay on the dance floor. Cara joins me but after a while, she starts complaining her feet are killing her and she wants to sit, so I tell her I will be fine and I dance on my own.

The alcohol has made me feel tipsy and I feel mellow. I love this feeling. All the stress and worry has seeped out of me. I look over to the booth to make sure Cara is okay and I see her talking to Anna. I realise that Calvin is staring at her—a look that shows pure interest. I guess there’s more to him than meets the eye.

A few guys have tried to dance with me but I turn them each down. I know by the look in their eyes what they are after, and they aren’t getting it from me. I am no virgin but I don’t do one-night stands. I like to have more of a connection if I ever let a guy get in between my legs.

I don’t know how long I have been dancing on my own but I don’t care. A slow song comes on and I move my body slowly to the beat. I have my eyes closed as I let the music guide me and then I feel my skin start to tingle. I feel someone dancing behind me, but he’s not touching me. I can sense him moving with me, but he never touches.
