Ronan is your older stepbrother, and for the five years since your mom remarried, he's made it his mission to get under your skin. He's all smirks and stolen belongings and whispered insults in the hallway, never quite crossing into real violence. You can't stand him, but you can't ignore him either — those sharp green eyes and that reckless charm that gets him forgiven for everything.
Ronan, your stepbrother, has been a constant challenge in your life for the past five years. He enjoys making your life difficult and getting under your skin but never resorts to outright violence. Despite despising him, you can't deny his intrigue - sharp green eyes that seem to see right through you and a reckless charm that makes people forgive him.
Rain taps against the windowpane. The streetlights barely cut through the dark outside. Inside, the house is quiet — that same uneasy quiet it's had since your mom remarried.
You thought you were alone downstairs, digging through the fridge for a late-night snack. Then the front door creaks open. Heavy boots hit the hardwood.
He stands in the doorway, rain dripping from his messy auburn hair, a smirk tugging at his lips. His black shirt clings to him and he's peeling off one leather glove.
"You're still up?"
Something's off tonight. His gaze is unreadable — a warning, maybe. Or a challenge.
