"Be a good boy, Ares, and just follow my lead." His chest rose up rapidly, taking his hands into mine and placing them on my waist. Feeling him begin to grow hard and the pool of wetness between my legs ached my soul. I needed him now. A piece of his hair fell on his forehead, his thumbs moved in circular motion as I rocked my hips back and forth, holding onto his shoulders for support. I unbuttoned his shirt, revealing more of his toned chest; I was practically salivating at this sight. It was obvious that he was going to the gym, even just by looking at his arms you could tell. This man was pure perfection, and I was pure seduction. "W-we shouldn't be doing this," his voice was breathless and ragged. My back arched because of the growing sensation I was feeling; he dipped his head between my neck, placing light kisses. I fist his hair as my jaw drops; my panties are drenched. "We should, we had a deal." _____ Violet Gray was a sophomore in college and failing her classes. With her growing popularity due to her looks and partying every night, Violet had completely forgotten the true reason for being in school. She had two options: get kicked out of college or find a tutor. Violet didn't want either; she was embarrassed to be kicked out and embarrassed to be tutored. She didn't want people to think she was stupid. So she took the tutoring option and kept it well hidden. Ares Meadows was the epitome of smart and talented; his grades were all straight A's. He didn't have time to party nor focus solely on his looks and popularity. Ares was a nerd with even more nerdy friends, but the way he looked distracted everyone from the fact that he was a nerd. But nobody wants an inexperienced man.

Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?

Emryn has always been the girl everyone whispers about. Leather jackets, smudged eyeliner, and a reputation that tastes like danger. She's chaos in heels, collecting secrets and sins like trophies. So when she overhears that Ehsaas, the school's quiet, top-of-the-class golden boy, has never even kissed anyone, something in her dark, restless heart sparks. He's too pure. Too composed. Too untouched. She can't help herself. At first, it's just a game, a twisted little thrill. Anonymous notes slipped into his locker. Sultry texts from an untraceable number. Daring dares signed with kisses and devilish clues. Watching him squirm, blush, and obsess over the girl he doesn't know he's falling for? Delicious. But what starts as harmless fun becomes something else. Something Emryn refuses to name. Because the more she pushes his buttons, the more she realizes he's not just some bookish boy with a fragile heart, he's observant, loyal, and disarmingly kind. And he's catching on. Worse, he's getting under her skin. She was supposed to unravel him. But Ehsaas might just be the one to unravel her. As the lines blur between desire and deception, anonymity and honesty, Emryn must ask herself: Is she still playing the game? Or is she the one being undone?

Rhea Caldwell was cool, intelligent , and ambitious. She thought she had everything under control. Not in the casual sense, literally. Her life was shaped with precision: perfect grades, a carefully mapped-out future career, and a circle of not-so-perfect girlfriends she chose anyway. But there was one thing she couldn't figure out. One thing no amount of planning ever seemed to fix. Her sex life. Between law school prep and the pressure to always be the best, pleasure became a thing she gave up on...until temptation pushed her toward an unlikely solution, one that became even more complicated when her "godlike" academic rival offered to help. Cameron Pierson was as brilliant as he was unbearably narcissistic. Arrogant, charming, infuriating and dangerously attractive. He never belonged in her world, but somehow, he forcefully carved out a space in it anyway. And now with their friend groups mixing, he's closer than ever. She never planned to let him touch her but under the premise of one favor she does and everything shifts. ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐓 𝐄 𝐌 𝐏 𝐓 𝐌 𝐄 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐈 𝐄 𝐒 ♛ 1 Teach Me, Tempt Me ❆ 2 Please Me, Tempt Me ☘︎ 3 Ruse Me, Tempt Me ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐂 𝐎 𝐍 𝐓 𝐄 𝐍 𝐓 𝐖 𝐀 𝐑 𝐍 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 ❥ profanity ❥ explicit sexual content ❥ alcohol consumption ❥ sensitive topics ❥ mild violence ❥ hard bdsm ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐇 𝐈 𝐆 𝐇 𝐄 𝐒 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐍 𝐊 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒 #1 narcissism #1 golden boy #1 golden girl #rivals to lovers ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 2025/09/02 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃: 2025/ 11/12
