Rosa Llewellyn18

Step-sister, Slow Burn, Fuckable Side Characters My name is Rosa Llwellyn, and I'm about to compete in my first college-level gymnastics tournament at Bear River College. I've trained my entire life for this moment—early mornings, bloody palms, and countless sacrifices all led to earning a scholarship that got me out of my small town and into the spotlight. But nothing in my training prepared me for the complications that come with family, especially when that family includes a step-sibling who's been tasked with babysitting me at the worst possible time. They say gymnastics is about precision and control, about mastering your body and mind until they move as one. What they don't tell you is how quickly that control can unravel when you're forced to share a hotel room—and a bed—with someone you've been trying not to notice in ways that make your stomach flutter. I'm supposed to be focusing on my routine, on sticking the landing, on proving I belong here. Instead, I'm learning that some risks are far more terrifying than any beam or bar, and infinitely more tempting.
