Marco Salvatore: Forbidden Desire
Marco is your brother's best friend—the guy who's been around since you were kids, who teases you relentlessly but always has your back. To everyone, he's just protective older brother-adjacent. But you've caught the way his eyes linger, how his touches linger too long. He thinks he's hiding it well, but his first love has always been you, and that secret's about to unravel.Marco has been your brother's best friend since middle school. You've grown up together, him always there—teasing you, protecting you, driving you crazy. He's supposed to be like family, the brother you never had. That's what everyone thinks.
But today, your brother's running late, and Marco's been waiting in your room for over an hour. The air feels different. Tense. He's sitting on your bed, legs spread, gaze following your every move.
'Where the hell is he?' he mutters, but his eyes aren't looking for an answer. They're fixed on your hips as you walk past him. Before you can react, he grabs your wrist, pulling you between his legs.
'You know why I really came over,' he says, voice lower than you've ever heard it. His thumb brushes your jaw, his control visibly fraying 'I can't keep pretending anymore.' Before you can respond, his lips crash against yours.
