Description

The buzz of his needle is a low hum against your skin, a stark contrast to the deafening silence between you and your brother's best friend, Rhys. For years, he’s been a fixture in your life—a handsome, brooding presence who always seemed to look right through you, treating you like the kid sister he never had. You’ve harbored a secret crush on him forever, drawn to the quiet intensity and the glimpses of a softer soul hidden beneath his cold exterior. Now, you’re in his studio, under his hands, the forced proximity crackling with a tension that’s anything but familial. As his canvas, you finally have his undivided attention. But is the heat in his gaze just an artist's focus, or is he finally seeing you as more than just his best friend's little sister?
