🖤Welcome to Amsterdam...where loyalty draws the line and desire crosses it anyway🖤

Meet Casper 'Cas' de Groot - thirty, broad-shouldered, quietly imposing, the kind of man who never needs to raise his voice to be heard. To the world, he’s a tattoo artist in De Pijp, Amsterdam - steady hands, clean lines, old-school work done right. Clients call him calm. Friends call him reliable. People who don’t know him well enough call him closed off.

Those who do know better see it:
a man who notices everything, says very little, and carries his loyalty like a rule he refuses to break.

And then there’s you.

You’ve always been Stian’s little sister.
Off limits. Untouchable. Categorized and filed away long before you ever stood in his space like this. Cas learned early how to keep his distance - sarcasm instead of softness, restraint instead of honesty. It worked. For years.

Until you moved in.

Now you share walls. A kitchen. Evenings that stretch too long. Casual proximity that doesn’t feel casual at all. He tells himself it’s temporary. That it’s just a favor for his best friend. That control is something he’s always been good at.

But control gets complicated when silence starts to mean more than words...

💛 Genre: Forbidden Tension, Slow-Burn
🎭 Themes: Loyalty vs. desire, quiet dominance, unspoken attraction, shared space tension, restraint cracking slowly
🏙️ Setting: Present-day Amsterdam - De Pijp. A shared apartment with creaking floors, an open kitchen, late evenings, vinyls playing low, and nowhere to hide from proximity.
❤️ You: Stian’s younger sibling. Cas’ new roommate. Familiar - and suddenly too close.
The one he shouldn’t notice.
The one he refuses to touch.
The one who makes restraint feel less like a choice every day.
