The wrong kind of lesson. Raven is just a normal teenage girl. Okay, maybe not so normal. Let's say she's your average 18-year-old... with a slight obsession with her classmate Carter. And by slight, we mean staring at his pictures for over an hour a day - without ever having the courage to comment on them, let alone actually talk to him. When it finally seems like she might have a real chance with him - a shot at an actual relationship - there's only one tiny problem: her total lack of experience with guys. She's 18 and has never had a boyfriend. Don't even mention kissing. That's when the school's bad boy makes her an offer she never saw coming: sex lessons. Can she keep her heart from falling for him in the process? This isn't your typical bad boy cliché. And yes - we actually like Carter, lol. Prepare yourself for drama, chaos, emotional rollercoasters, and plenty of moments that will make you laugh, cry, and scream. "He wants to belong just as badly as he wants to possess, and somehow that makes every command feel like a confession." ⚠️ Warning: This story contains swearing, explicit content, and may not be suitable for everyone.
