Sugar on My Tongue
by Freya Z

Rowan was nine when he came to live with us-quiet, shy, with a bruised smile that made me want to protect him. He wasn't my blood, but he was my everything.

By high school, everything changed. Rowan was golden boy quarterback, adored and untouchable. And me? I was the tattooed screw-up his new friends loved to laugh at. Somewhere along the line, the boy I once held close became my enemy.

But hate has always felt too much like want.

Now we're older. Stuck sharing a dorm. And the boy who used to look at me with awe looks at me with fire.

I should stay away. I should remember we're family. But when it comes to Rowan... every line between love, hate, and ruin blurs.

This isn't a romance.
It's an obsession.

Vincent has always been impossible-loud, reckless, infuriating. And somehow, living under the same roof makes it worse.

Every day is a battle between keeping my distance and not being able to. He pushes, I resist. He teases, I glare. And somewhere in between, the lines start to blur.

I shouldn't want him. I shouldn't let him get under my skin. But no matter how hard I try... I can't stay away.

This isn't a love story.
It's complicated.
