Step Star (A Stepbrother Rockstar Romance): Break My Heart

Step Star: Break My Heart: The second in the Step Star Series

“Another Pomegranate Paradise, Miss Storm?”

“Thank you, no. That was delicious.”

The handsome young cabana boy’s white teeth sparkle as brightly as the sun dappled Caribbean Sea behind him. “Don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything else I can do to make your stay in Grand Cayman more pleasurable,” he murmurs.

The women around the pool at the deluxe resort shoot daggers of envy at me with their eyes. Not only am I with the most handsome and soon to be famous rock star in the world, every man on the island adores me. I also have big boobs. Hey, it’s my fantasy.

Ben Strong, the love of my life, lies on the deck chair next to me, his smooth golden skin glistening with sun tan oil. He opens his beautiful storm gray eyes and turns to me. “Darling, I think the waiter was flirting with me,” I say.

“Surprised? I’m not. Who wouldn’t want you?” He laughs and kisses me. His lips are as lush and sweet as ripe strawberries. “I’m the most famous artist in the world and I would trade everything to spend a moment in time between your thighs.”

I blush. “Ben, really…” He runs his thumb across my bottom lip. “Take me into your cabana,” I purr. "It’s way too hot out here to wear all this bikini. Wait. Something’s in my eye.”

“Your eye, my love?”

“Yeah, they’re stinging...OWW!”

Pain shocked me out of the daydream. I ducked my face under the steamy shower spray to rinse the soap out of my eyes. Hey, after only being hired yesterday by my beloved stepbrother who just found out my true identity a few hours ago and having the hottest sex in my life with him in his private jet plane, anything, absolutely anything seemed possible.

My stomach suddenly clenched with worry. How would Ben act when I stepped out of the bathroom? Would he take me in his arms or would he be freaking out? I wouldn’t blame him if he did go bananas; I really hadn’t wrapped my brain around it either.

What had I gotten myself into?

I took two deep breaths, threw on my clothes and strode out into the main cabin. Ben sat on a two-seater with his face to the window. His skin gleamed in the golden apricot sunlight. He turned to me and patted the cushion next to him. “There’s a seatbelt tucked in the back. Landing might be a bit rough.”

I sat beside him and buckled myself in. His tone was casual, but when he looked at me, the soft glow in his eyes made my heart leap. “A driver’s going to pick us up at the airport,” he said.

Not a declaration of undying eternal love, but okay. I nodded brightly. “Sure.”

“I have a recording session and a few meetings with some suits, so I’ll need you to take notes.”

Oh, right. I still had a job to do. “Of course,” I said.

“I’ll be swamped with shit to do till pretty late.”

Here’s where he would tell me that he wouldn’t see me tonight…or any night ever again. I resisted the impulse to close my eyes.

“Okay, no problem.”

He cupped my face in his warm hands. “So…I want to say now, because I might not get to later, that I can’t believe you’re here with me. You’re my dream made real.” A huge sound, halfway between a cry and a sigh, rushed out of me.

“Katie girl. Are you all right?”

The way he said my name, like a luscious sweet melting on his tongue, lit a spark in me. All other thoughts leaped out of my brain. There was only Ben and his hot beautiful body.

He pressed his hand over mine. “We’re going to touch down in a few minutes.” His lush buttery voice rolled over me and I shuddered with desire. Ben raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying my helpless arousal.

“You’re not afraid of a rough landing, are you?” He leaned in and whispered as he stroked my throat. “Because if you are, I can help with that.”
