Don't Touch My Little Sister

Synopsis

Cole Beckett has been secretly in love with Ivy, Marcus's sister, for three years. For three years, he hasn't laid a single finger on her—because Marcus saved his life, with the only condition being "never touch my sister". During the three years Ivy was in college in another city, he could only watch her from across the table at holiday gatherings, sneak glances at her new photos on Marcus's phone, and hold the edge of their only group photo from three years ago alone late at night until the paper frayed. Then Ivy graduated and came back, and the ceiling of her apartment caved in. She moved in, into the room opposite his. Every morning she made breakfast in the kitchen wearing his hoodie. Every night after showering, she walked out of the bathroom with wet hair past his door. His three years of silence started to crumble in the first week after she moved in—his self-restraint, seeping through his fingers, grew thinner and thinner. And Ivy knew nothing about it. She thought his coldness towards her was because he disliked her. She had no idea that his "coldness" was the only armor that had stopped him from kneeling before her for three years. Until she found that photo that had been preserved for three years—everything changed.
