stop calling me little sister
For five years, Evelyn Carter has lived with one impossible secret—she's hopelessly in love with her older brother's best friend.
To Luca Bennett, she's always been "Noah's little sister," the girl he teased, protected, and promised himself he'd never see any other way. But at nineteen, Evelyn is done being the little girl everyone remembers. She's determined to prove she's grown into a woman worthy of being loved.
Fate intervenes when a plumbing disaster forces Luca to move into the Carter family home. Suddenly, stolen glances become daily encounters, playful teasing turns into dangerous tension, and the line between right and wrong begins to blur.
The closer they become, the harder it is for Luca to ignore the truth. Evelyn is no longer the child he once knew, and every day under the same roof makes resisting her even more impossible. But giving in to his feelings means betraying the one person who's always been like a brother to him.
As jealousy, misunderstandings, heartbreak, and family conflicts threaten to tear them apart, Evelyn and Luca must decide whether their love is worth the pain it will cause. Their journey becomes one of emotional battles, shattered trust, impossible choices, and sacrifices that could change their lives forever.
Some loves are forbidden.
Some loves destroy everything in their path.
And some loves... no matter how hard the world tries to keep them apart, are simply meant to be.
Will Luca finally stop calling her his little sister... and start calling her the love of his life?

Chapter: chapter sixI was so excited to finally have my parents back home.They had been away for almost a month—maybe even longer—and the house just hadn't felt the same without them.The moment I stepped through the front door, I forgot about everything else."Dad!"He looked up from the dining table just in time to see me running toward him.He laughed, stood up, and opened his arms."There she is."I practically threw myself into his embrace."I missed you so much.""I missed you too, princess."Before I could say anything else, my mom cleared her throat dramatically."So... are you just going to ignore your mother?"I laughed and walked over to hug her."I missed you too, Mom."She wrapped her arms around me and kissed my forehead."That's better."Across the table, Noah made an exaggerated gagging face."Can we stop with the family reunion? Some of us are trying to eat.""Oh, hush," Mom scolded, pointing her fork at him.I stuck my tongue out at him."You've been living with them your whole life. L

Chapter: chapter fiveIt was finally the weekend.Which meant one thing at my college—basketball game day.The entire campus was alive. Students filled the stands, music blasted through the speakers, and everyone was wearing school colors.And unfortunately for my sanity...Luca and Noah were playing.Normally, I would've gone with my parents, but they were returning home today, and Noah had to pick them up from the airport.I should've gone with him.I really should have.But as part of the cheerleading team, I had responsibilities.Which meant I was stuck with Luca.Alone.In his car.The silence was unbearable.It had only been two minutes since we left the house, but it felt like an entire hour.I stared out the window, pretending the view outside was the most interesting thing in the world.Anything was better than acknowledging the man sitting beside me.Finally, Luca broke the silence."Isn't that dress a little short?"I slowly turned my head.Did he really just say that?I looked at him, completel

Chapter: chapter fourLucas povAs she descended down the stairs I couldn't stop looking at her.Her dress hugged her body perfectly, showing off her tiny waist and gracious curve. I watched her as she walked, admiring how the fabric moved with every step she took. Her waist looked so small I thought I could almost wrap my hands around it. She was breathtaking, the kind of beauty that made it hard to look away.I've tried to ignore her for so long.God knows I've tried.But Evelyn Carter had a way of making that nearly impossible.She wasn't the awkward little girl I met five years ago anymore.Somewhere between then and now, she'd grown into a beautiful young woman, and I'd been trying very hard not to notice.Not because I didn't.Because I did.And that was exactly the problem.She was Noah's little sister.My best friend's little sister.That line wasn't one I was willing to cross.No matter how much she smiled.No matter how pretty she looked tonight.No matter how difficult she was making it to look

Chapter: chapter threeGosh all I want to run my hand through his hair and lick his chest because fuck they so neat I lost it for a moment, he noticed I was drooling he snapped "Hello, pervs," he said casually.I froze.Perv?Did he seriously just call me that?I looked at him, completely offended."Perv? Did you just call me a perv?" I pointed at him. "You walked downstairs wearing nothing but a towel, and somehow I'm the pervert? Come on, Luca."A small smirk tugged at his lips, clearly enjoying my reaction.I could feel my face heating up, so before I embarrassed myself any further, I turned around and walked upstairs as quickly as possible.Of course, I tried to make it look graceful.Keyword: tried.The moment I closed my bedroom door, I leaned against it and let out a frustrated sigh.Why did he have to look like that?My mind immediately replayed the scene I was desperately trying to forget—the way his hair was still damp from the shower, the drops of water disappearing as they slid down his skin.

Chapter: chapter twoThe Problem With Having a CrushI didn't sleep.Not even for a minute.The entire night was spent staring at the ceiling, replaying every little interaction I had with Luca Bennett.The way he smiled.The way he teased me.The way he still called me Evie like I was the same fourteen-year-old girl who used to hide behind Noah whenever she got embarrassed.Except I wasn't that girl anymore.And that was the problem.By the time my alarm rang, I was already dressed.Which was honestly ridiculous because my first class wasn't even that early.But who was I kidding?I hadn't slept. My brain had been too busy having a full conversation with itself about a man who didn't even know he was the reason I couldn't sleep.I grabbed my bag and quietly opened my bedroom door.The mission was simple.Get downstairs.Leave the house.Avoid Luca.Easy.Except nothing involving Luca Bennett was ever easy.I slowly walked down the stairs, holding my breath like I was escaping a crime scene. When I reache

Chapter: chapter one :The boy next door wasn't supposed to stayI was fourteen the first time I met Luca Bennett.Five years later, I still couldn't decide whether meeting him had been the best thing that ever happened to me... or the worst."My annoying little sister is in the backyard," my older brother, Noah Carter, called over his shoulder as he walked into the house with his best friend.Curiosity got the better of me, so I peeked around the corner.That was the moment I saw him.Luca Bennett.Dark hair that looked like he'd run his fingers through it one too many times, hazel eyes that seemed to laugh before his lips ever did, and a smile so unfairly perfect it should've come with a warning label.He caught me staring."Who's this?" he asked, tilting his head toward me.Noah sighed dramatically. "My little sister, Evelyn Carter. Don't let the innocent face fool you. She's a menace.""I am not," I protested.Luca chuckled."Nice to meet you, Evelyn."That smile.God, that smile.I was fourteen, awkward, wearing oversized pajamas and braces I
