She realizes she won’t last the eight months until she turns twenty-five and her uncle no longer controls her or her estate.

“You’re just like the rest”, He whispered cockily in my ear, his dark blonde messed-up-sexily hair brushing in my face. “You want to change the bad boy into a good one”. He leaned back smugly, to judge my reaction. I did something I would do. I burst out laughing hysterically, pretending to wipe tears from my eyes. I dropped the sarcastic laugh just as suddenly as I had begun it and put on a serious façade. Reaching up on my tip-toes, I leaned on him to brush my lips against his ears. “I’m not like the rest you see. I’m a bad girl through and through. I wouldn’t change a bad boy to good unless I was getting paid for it.” I pulled back to smirk in his face, but a muscled arm snaked around my waist holding me in place. “I’ll pay you $1,000”, he said looking me in the eyes, his own ones challenging me to say ‘game on’. “Game on bitch”.

It's your racing heart. The wild excitement of seeing them. The countless conversations you share with them in your head. The vivid dreams of longing. The tense stalking. The panicked awkwardness. The moments that seem painfully embarrassing. It's growing up and feeling things you've never felt before. Learning about them. Learning about yourself. It's a crush. It's love. It's excitement and sadness and a crazy mix of emotions. It's about a guy and a girl who are too afraid to say how they feel. How hard is it to say, "I love you"?

Ky Madison is a girl in a world where what's In and what's Out is defined for you: high school. So she decides to stand out, to do the unexpected; to rebel against what is defined as "In". And the whole "popularity" part is like an added bonus - that is, if you like having everybody in school know that you get a kick out of rebelling against society (and Mandy O'Conner). But she wonders: just how expected is the unexpected? Evan Touber has always been invisible; unnoticed; "that kid in the back of the class". He was never "cool" or "popular" like his brother. But then he meets the cool and rebellious Ky Madison - the most talked about girl at school - and she's going to help change his "invisibility" to "visibility" And it's all thanks to her rebellious reputation. (BTW: when I started this story I thought it would be fun to make a ton of references to Ouran High School Host Club and See who noticed them. But then I started getting serious about the story and stopped doing that so much. So if you guys were wondering what that was about...yeah, that's what that is :|)

He pushes his full length into me and I scream, trying to pull my body away from his. He holds me in place, slamming into me a few times before he stills. My breathing is harsh and my body is trembling, I can barely hold my body up. He rotates his hips in a circular motion, grabbing my hands at the same time, pinning me to the bed. Our fingers are interlocked and he begins to rock. When he comes out, he pulls me down. One of his hands circle around and he presses down on my belly. I gasp at the sensation in my belly. "I can feel me inside you," He whispers as he leans over me. He grabs my free hand and brings it to my belly. "Do you like how I feel, Gabrielle?" He thrusts into me hard and I feel him through my skin. "Noah!" I moan loudly. He grunts and smacks my ass. I yelp in surprise. It stings but its an erotic sensation. He slaps the other cheek and my body shakes. "Tell me what you want Gabrielle," He mutters. My body ignites and my skin tingles. The red walls becomes redder, the light becomes brighter, and the smell of sex becomes stronger. "Please Noah," I beg. He rotates his hips again but faster. My senses flash with "Caution! Explosives Activated!" "Come, Gabrielle," He whispers as he slams into me again. My vision goes black as my climax hits me like a thousand bolt of lightning. My head flying back as I scream, Noah reaches his peak also. He holds onto my body and groans. My vision returns brighter than it was before and I collapse on the bed. Noah rolls me over and unties the tail of the whips quickly. He kisses each of my wrists while rubbing slow circles with his fingers. He's one of those sweet dominants. He takes the time to inspect his submissives. I mentally smack myself. You're not his submissive, I chant to myself. "Did I hurt you?" He mutters. I shake my head then smack his face. "Thats for tying me up." I say as I begin to pull my underwear back on. He grins that heart stopping smile and kisses me.
